Night comes in, like some cool river
How can there be, be another day? Take my hand, oh real companion And we'll dance, dance till we fade away Oh, the songs pour down like silver They can only, only break my heart Drink the wine, the wine of lovers Lovers tired of being apart Dancing till my feet don't touch the ground I lose my mind in dance forever Lose my mind in dance forever Turn my world around Turn my world around Oh, this night is like no other And this room is ringing in my ears And these friends will never leave me And these tears are like no other tears Dancing till my feet don't touch the ground I lose my mind in dance forever Lose my mind in dance forever Turn my world around Turn my world around ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RICHARD THOMPSON <i>Lyrics © BUG MUSIC</i> |

Little boy running and the little girl too Got the money tucked up in their hands Over the wall and down into the street Give your money to the hollering man Give your money to the hollering man Everybody runs for Hokey Pokey Hear the ringing on the ice-cream bell He's got the stuff that'll cool you right down It's the best that they ever did sell It's the best that they ever did sell Girl on the corner with the tight dress on You know she don't know nothing so fine Feels so good when you put it in your mouth Sends a shiver all down your spine Sends a shiver all down your spine Cat got your tongue, says Frankie to Annie, girl You haven't said a word all night Well, Annie she smiled and she took another bite Hokey Pokey made her feel all right, all right Hokey Pokey made her feel all right Well, some like it round, and some like it flat And some like a poke or two But everybody runs for Hokey Pokey It's the natural thing to do It's the natural thing to do Down in prison number 999 Working like a bee in a hive He's still dreaming of Hokey Pokey Helps to keep that boy alive Helps to keep that boy alive Boss man he says to the choir-boy Rocky Don't you sing to the boys in blue Or you won't get no more Hokey Pokey By the time we're through with you By the time we're through with you Fellas in the alley all look like girls With the lipstick and the high-heeled shoes Feel so pretty and the boys all say That they know just what to do That they know just what to do |

I hand you my ball and chain
You just hand me that same old refrain I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling I wish I could please you tonight But my medicine just won't come right I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling Too many steps to take Too many spells to break Too many nights awake And no one else This grindstone's wearing me Your claws are tearing me Don't use me endlessly It's too long, too long to myself Where's the justice and where's the sense? When all the pain is on my side of the fence I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling Too many steps to take Too many spells to break Too many nights awake And no one else This grindstone's wearing me Your claws are tearing me Don't use me endlessly It's too long, it's too long to myself It scares you when you don't know Whichever way the wind might blow I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire And I'm falling ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RICHARD THOMPSON <i>Lyrics © BUG MUSIC</i> |

I packed my rags, went down the hill Left my dependents a-lying still Just as the dawn was rising up I was making good speed I left a letter lying on the bed From a man in need, it read You know it's so hard, It's so hard to find Well, well, well. Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? All of my friends don't comprehend me Their kind of style it just offends me I want to take 'em, I want to shake 'em 'Till they pay me some heed Oh, you've got to ride in one direction Until you find the right connection You know it's so hard, So, so, so, so Well, well. Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? Who's going to give you real happiness? Who's going to give you contentedness? Who's going to lead you? Who's going to feed you? And cut you free? Well I've sailed every ship in the sea But I travelled this world in misery You know it's so hard, So hard, so hard Well, well. Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? Well who's going to shoe your feet? Ah who's going to pay your rent? And who's going to stand by you? Well, well, well, well Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Of a man in need |

Those backstreet women, watch what you say
You turn your back and they slide away They run next door, they give it all away Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide Gatemouth woman leaning on the fence She's got no teeth, she's got no sense You don't need much intelligence Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide Slide over here, slide over there Spreading that scandal everywhere Stab you in the back and they just don't care Doing the slide Now slander is a loving tongue They speak your name to everyone Never is a curse left unsung Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By THOMPSON <i>Lyrics © BUG MUSIC</i> |

Don't think my love is something that you can play with
I'm not the one to spend the time of day with You learn to hide love, you lock it up or find it gone You think you need me, you think you read me From the beating of my heart But you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh you're listening to the wrong heartbeat You're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong If you should see a tear, you won't see many If you should hear me sigh, it's not for any If you should greet me as I am walking along You only want to see just the shell of me You don't know the other part Well, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Ah, listening to the wrong heartbeat I said, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong Oh you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong Don't throw your secrets where men will steal them You got to hide them, you got to seal them No matter what you try, you'll never take my love from me And if you might think that you can move me From the beating of my heart Oh you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Ah, listening to the wrong heartbeat You're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong Oh yes you're listening to the wrong heartbeat You're listening to the wrong heartbeat You're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong You're, you're, you're listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh listening to the wrong heartbeat Oh you're listening to the wrong heartbeat My love is strong |

By Devonside she was a-marching
It was a gang of no great size And surrender was the banner that she carried And hungry was the shiver in her eyes She met a boy, his health was failing She dropped the banner and took her prize And the only food she had was bread and morphine Ah, but he fed on the shiver in her eyes By Devonside his love was drifting He looked for comfort otherwise And there never was a rope or chain about him Ah, she held him with the shiver in her eyes Ah, she said, my John, I'll be your pillow I'll be your lover, mother, whore and wife And he knew that he loved and never seen her When the light fell from the shiver in her eyes |

O who will remember, o who will be sure
And still feel the silence as close as before And was there a season without any rain, And never, o never, o never again? The time for dividing and no-one will speak Of the sadness of hiding, and the softness of sleep O will there be nothing of peace till the end, Or never, o never, o never again? Old man how you tarry, old man how you weep The trinkets you carry and the garlands you keep For the salt tears of lovers and the whispers of friends Come never, o never, o never again ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GONSCHOREK, DANIEL / SCHUBERT, HARALD / LINDNER, VOLKER / THOMPSON, JOSEPH / DALIEN, MICHAEL <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., BUG MUSIC</i> |

If she knew what I've seen while I'm watching Would she know where to smile, what to say? When she leaves from her book to be with me Where's her mind as she stands while I play? She left behind names in the pages And the time she took out, they stayed in Now she thinks that she maybe should tell them Of my book and the places she's been Now she's looking at me while I'm writing Does she know where to smile, what to say?

In crystal waters I'll be bound Cold as stone, weary to the sounds upon the wheel Now be thankful for good things below Now be thankful to your maker For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know When the fire is grown too fierce to breathe In burning irons I'll be bound Fierce as fire weary to the sounds upon the wheel Now be thankful for good things below Now be thankful to your maker For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know When the stone is grown too cold to kneel In crystal waters I'll be bound Cold as stone, weary to the sounds upon the wheel Now be thankful for good things below Now be thankful to your maker For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know |

Just a roll, just a roll Just a roll on your drum Just a roll, just a roll And the war has begun Now the right thing's the wrong thing No more excuses to come Just one step at a time And the war has begunShe's run away, she's run away And she ran so bitterly Now call to your colours, friend Don't you call to meDon't you cry, don't you cry Don't you cry upon the sea Don't you cry, don't you cry For your lady and me |

Rise for the hangman
His pleasure is that you should rise He's the judge and the jury At the jester's assize Poor Will on the gallows tree Never a cruel word did say Oh that a good man Should be treated this way Run to me mother of anyone's child And tell me the revelry planned Judges and barristers, clerks at the law His show is the best in the land Here's a toast to the Jolly Hangman He'll hang you the best that he can Here's a toast to the Jolly No purse for a ??? No true love come over the stile The debt of a poor man He'll pay in awhile Poor ladies, poor gentleman Born of a sorry degree Will you laugh with the hangman When he comes for his fee? Run to me mother of anyone's child And tell me the revelry planned Judges and barristers, clerks at the law His show is the best in the land Here's a toast to the Jolly Hangman He'll hang you the best that he can Here's a toast to the Jolly Rise for the hangman His pleasure is that you should rise He's the judge and the jury At the jester's assize |

Someone told me there's a grace that leads you straight from place to place
And you always leave the road behind you You don't need your horses shod, just a dowser and his rod Leave your mistress, she won't need to find you Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid Leave my weary flesh and bone to a circle made of stone Take me to the mountains for my pleasure And if the dead man won't depart, drive a stake into his heart And let me ere deliver him his leisure When you see the race is run and the dark has just begun Come on with the few and leave the many There you'll find the journeyman with a lantern in his hand He'll show you a good time for a penny |

I'm beating my retreat
Back home to you I'm beating my retreat Back home to you I'm burning all my bridges I'm burning all my bridges I'm burning all my bridges I'm running back home to you I'm trailing my colors Back home to you I'm trailing my colors Back home to you This world is filled with sadness This world is filled with sadness This world is filled with sadness I'm running back home to you I'll follow the drum Back home to you I'll follow the drum Back home to you There was no joy in my leaving There was no joy in my leaving There was no joy in my leaving I'm running back home to you |

I know the way that I feel about you
I'm never gonna run away, I'm never gonna run away Never knew the way when I lived without you I'm never gonna run away, I'm never gonna run away I came to you when no one could hear me I'm sick and weary of being alone Empty streets and hungry faces The world's no place when you're on your own A heart needs a home Some people say that I should forget you But I'm never gonna be a fool, I'm never gonna be a fool Better life, they say if I'd never met you But I'm never gonna be a fool, no, I'm never gonna be a fool Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers Indian givers, hearts of stone Paper ships and painted faces The world's no place when you're on your own A heart needs a home |

It seems like a lifetime since I saw you
Lover lover I've been away too long When I see lovers holding hands and sighing I hang my head for shame of doing wrong Bus wheels spinning, song birds singing break my heart Take me back to old remembered days Remind me of the times we spent together Times before we went our separate ways I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I'm sorry for the things I've said, the things I've done I'm sorry for the restless thief I've been Please don't make me pay for my deceiving heart Just turn up your lamp and let me in I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again I wish I was a fool for you again |

See the boys out walking
The boys, they look so fine Dressed up in green velvet Their silver buckles shine Soon they?ll be bleary eyed Under a keg of wine Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll See that lover standing Staring at the ground He?s looking for the real thing Lies were all he found You can get the real thing It will only cost a pound Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll There goes a troubled woman She dreams a troubled dream She lives out on the highway She keeps her money clean Soon she?ll be returning To the place where she?s the queen Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll You can be a gambler Who never drew a hand You can be a sailor Who never left dry land You can be Lord Jesus All the world will understand Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll |

High up above the crowd
The great Valerio is walking The rope seems hung from cloud to cloud And time stands still while he is walking His eye is steady on the target His foot is sure upon the rope Alone and peaceful as a mountain And certain as the mountain slope We falter at the sight We stumble in the mire Fools who think they see the light Prepare to balance on the wire But we learn to watch together And feed on what we see above 'Till our hearts turn like the seasons And we are acrobats of love How we wonder, how we wonder Watching far below We would all be that great hero The great Valerio Come all you upstart jugglers Are you really ready yet? Who will help the tightrope walker When he tumbles to the net So come with me to see Valerio As he dances through the air I'm your friend until you use me And then be sure I won't be there How we wonder, how we wonder Watching far below We would all be that great hero The great Valerio |

O who will remember, o who will be sure
And still feel the silence as close as before And was there a season without any rain, And never, o never, o never again? The time for dividing and no-one will speak Of the sadness of hiding, and the softness of sleep O will there be nothing of peace 창??till the end, Or never, o never, o never again? Old man how you tarry, old man how you weep The trinkets you carry and the garlands you keep For the salt tears of lovers and the whispers of friends Come never, o never, o never again |
