First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it on the back of my tongue and then swallowed it
Second time, things are getting easier
Blow me down, this wind's getting breezier
Third time lucky, maybe feeling fuzzy
Oh my god, we're getting hippy dippy
Five, six, seven, man I'm in heaven
And I'm growing my beard before it gets sheared

You're on my mind every day and every night
And you'll never go away cos I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind
On my mind every day and every night
And you'll never go away cos I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind

First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it right up and that was the end of it
Second time, things are getting easier
Hairs on the back of my neck are getting stickier
Third time lucky, perversely body
Doctor I'm ill, please pass me the brandy
Five, six seven, I heard George Foreman say:
"Stone horses loose, fast women frighten"

You're on my mind every day and every night
And you'll never go away cos I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind
On my mind every day and every night
And you'll never go away cos I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind

I just keep repeating myself
I just keep repeating myself
I just keep repeating myself
I just keep repeating myself
I just keep repeating myself
I just keep repeating myself

(Oh yeah, cos)
You're on my mind every day and every night
And you'll never go away cos I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind
On my mind every day and every night
And you'll never go away cos I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind...

Please hold the line and we'll talk to you when we're free.
 
Welcome to the oceans in a labeled can,
Welcome to the dehydrated lands,
Welcome to the self police parade,
Welcome to the neo-golden age,
Welcome to the days you've made
You are welcome
You are welcome
Welcome

You are welcome
You are welcome.

GREEN GLOVES

Falling out of touch with all my
friends are somewhere getting wasted,
hope they’re staying glued together,
I have arms for them.

Take another sip of them,
it floats around and takes me over
like a little drop of ink in a glass of water

Get inside their clothes
with my green gloves
watch their videos, in their chairs.
Get inside their beds
with my green gloves
Get inside their heads, love their loves.

Cinderella through the room
I glide and swan cause I’m the best slow dancer
in the universe

Falling out of touch with all my
friends are somewhere getting wasted,
hope they’re staying glued together,
I have arms for them.

Get inside their clothes
with my green gloves
watch their videos, in their chairs.
Get inside their beds
with my green gloves
Get inside their heads, love their loves.

Now I hardly know them
and I’ll take my time
I’ll carry them over, and I’ll make them mine.

Get inside their clothes
with my green gloves
watch their videos, in their chairs.
Get inside their beds
with my green gloves
Get inside their heads, love their loves.


SLOW SHOW

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it

You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years

You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years
 
and a bit more

We've got photographs of men on the moon
We've got water that is good for us
We've got coffee that's instantaneous
We've got buildings that are very tall
We've got cigarettes that are low in tar
We've got policemen can tell us who we are
We can reproduce a work of art
We've got missiles can tear the world apart
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology

We've got trains that run underground
Aeroplanes that fly very fast
We've got music that is popular
We've got machines that sound like orchestras
We've got ability to transplant a heart
We've got freezers full of body parts
We've got computers that can find us friends
We know roughly when the world will end
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology

We've got animals with transistors in
We've got pills that can make you slim
We've got factories turning frozen chickens out
We've got ovens that cook in seconds flat
We've got plastics that are indestructible
We've got deodorants that make us smell of flowers
We've got detergents to clean up the sea
We've got sounds can turn you inside out

Sometimes I wonder what it is all about
There's lots of leisure time to sit and work it out
There's a TV show I've got to see
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology
Good technology
 
I see patterns in the wind and in the sand
I see the stars, i read the clouds, i understand
Then the madness overwhelmed (i lost control)
It was cut out for each stain upon my soul
All who died (and everything is alive)
Communion
I saw a man, i knew his face, he called my name
And the house i'd never seen still looked the same
Then i found all my possessions by the fire
The physical world fell into place i had all i desired
The mind begins to doubt what the heart already knows
Reason gives into rhyme, mind begins to blow
Reoccurring people numbers faces
And i abandon all my need for explanation
 
No one can have
More than their due
I wanted life
I wanted you
Only the very best
A reasonable request

This is too high a price to pay
Now they've taken you away
Might as well take me

Down, down to hell for I don't care
They can put me anywhere
Throw away the key

I always walked a definite line
Cutting a dash, cutting it fine
And once, only once did I lose control
I gave her my soul
And I gave, and I gave
And I gave her my soul

I was immortal till today
Now I feel a cold decay
Crawling over me

No one can have
More than their due
I wanted life
I wanted you
Only the very best
No other interest

This is the way you should remain
Never feeling any pain
Never growling old

Sleep little one, your night is here
Mine is growing very near
Oh It's getting cold
 
Stone, the world is stone
Its no trick of the light
Its hard on the soul

Stone, the world is stone
Cold to the touch
And hard on the soul
In the grey of the streets
In the neon unknown
I look for a sign
That Im not on my own
That Im not here alone

As the still of the night
And the choke of the air
And the winners delight
And the losers despair
Closes in left and right
I would love not to care

Stone, the world is stone
From a faraway look
Without stars in my eyes
Through the halls of the rich
And the flats of the poor
Wherever I go

Theres no warmth anymore
Theres no love anymore

So I turn on my heels
Im declining the fall
Ive had all I can take
With my back to the wall
Tell the world Im not in
Im not taking the call

Stone, the world is stone
But I saw it once
With the stars in my eyes
When each colour rang out
In a thunderous chrome
Its no trick of the light
I cant find my way home
In a world of stone
 
broken social scene - superconnected

Does it come in cages? Does it come in threes?
tripping on all the time, tripping on high seas

Never the car ride, and never the key
I've always been failing, but not on the knee

and you wanna believe it
and you wanna conceive
there's a different suggestion
I know that I'll believe

And you wanna fuck this
Right between the knees
Get a little bit bloody
What does it have to do with me?

But I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
No I really don't wanna think about those things
I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
And I don't wanna think about those things

There's a section for babies
Was it making believe
They get you like creature's cocks
Get you like creature's creeds

I've never been sailing
Not unless it's the sea
A typical lazy eye
Staring for you and me

And you wanna collect it
And you wanna conceive
Get it all connected
With you & you & me

And I love the darkness
It's what happened to me
I was talking about stuff
I cannot believe...

But I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
I really don't wanna think about those things
I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
And I don't wanna think about those things
I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
And I don't wanna think about those things
I really don't wanna think about those things anymore
And I don't wanna think about those things

This is Superconnected
Its time to leave...
This is Superconnected
Its time to leave...
This is Superconnected



and.... belly - superconnected

On your third broken window,
Your hair full of glass,
Throw your clothes in the hallway,
Just a sheet on your back.
So youre super-connected now?
All the freaks gather around,
And the crowd in your bedroom waits
For a piece of your personal space.
Are there heart strings connected
To the wings youve got slapped on your back?
Better climb in the window cause Im closing the door.
On your third broken window,
With your hair full of glass,
Saw your clothes in the hallway,
Just a curtain on your back.
I laugh.
Are there heart strings connected
To the wings youve got slapped on your back?
Better climb in the window cause Im closing the door.
Now Im spinning on a dime.
Now Im spinning on a dime.
Now Im spinning on a dime.
Like you claim to do,
Like now, like now.
Are there heart strings connected
To the poison coming out of your mouth?
Are you super-connected?
Are you super-connected now?
Im spinning on a dime.
Throw your clothes in the hallway,
And Im closing the door.

Life is short and love is very sweet
Look at all the people running from their lives in the street
What're they running from?
What are they running from?
Well, God, damn it, ask them
I wanna know, too

Read and destroy everything you read in the press
Read and destroy everything you read in books
It's a waste of time
It's a waste of energy
It's a waste of paper
And it's a waste of ink
Whatever you read in the books, leave it there
The word for it is:
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage, sabotage

The military intelligence isn't what it used to be
So waht, human intelligence what it used to be either
It's a rising expectation
It's a rising of the tide
The wards will discharge all their patients in teh streets
Are they hurt again? They are mine, yeah, murderer

Sabotage, sabotage, sabotage

eta only - apart from the music and the title chanting this is a completly different version with most of the words changed

To the Marxists and the police
To the junkies in the streets
To the gangsters in our towns
And the others underground
To the prostitutes and whores
To the self-admiring bores
To the drinkers in a drought
And the writers steeped in doubt
To the bailiffs and their bills
To the child whose thoughts could kill
To the veteran who fights
All his demons late at night
To the bloody and unbowed
Fanatics and their vows
All the taxes we don't want
To the idiot savant

There's a revolution in my heart

To the indier than thou
To the stadiums of crowds
To the vultures circling near
A new kingdom of fear
To the skinheads and the Sikhs
To the rich and the elite
To the serious dilettante
To the idiot savant

There's a revolution in my heart
 
You wonder why you're feeling blue,
And you live with a guy that you can't talk to.
You can't talk to the dude
And that's no longer in style,
You can't talk to the dude
No this "No es normal."
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.

Your sense of humor has gotten worse
Now that you live with a guy who can't converse
You can't talk to the dude
Well he's set in his way,
Got a bad attitude
When you say what you say.
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.

Oh, you can't talk to the dude, no, no.
You can't talk to the dude, no, no.
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.

You wonder why you're feeling rank,
And you live with a guy who's in the tank
You can't talk to the dude,
He's just hanging around,
No he don't taste the food,
He's just shoveling it down.
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.

Oh, you can't talk to the dude, no, no.
You can't talk to the dude, no, no.
Well you can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.
Well you can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go, go go.

I was born in the year punk broke
Days before the king was dead
It was the year of the snake
I was a red-faced child
Who stumbled where he tread
Was kept in orderly file
My parents named me Ed
I tried my hardest to smile
And like my daddy said
I've tried to be myself
Sometimes daydreaming for hours
Wishing for a dangerous life
Cut the leash some slack
Run into the morning light
Race the trains by the track
Until my mouth feels dry

But can you count me?
I might let you down
In a world that is so sensational
No you can count on me
I'm for the now
Up against the oder generation's wall

Born in the '70s
Born in the '70s

After a length of time
You're this parody
Just like the record's stuck
Always repeating the past
That never liked you before
You had no reason to last
We're in a silent war
A telepathic blast
And like my daddy said
These are exciting times
The future grabs my throat
And lets me know it's alright
If I believe in love
Then I believe in hate too
I'll taste the darker stuff
To find some lasting truth

Born in the '70s
(no we don't really give a fuck about you)
 
Verse 1:
Where are you walking, Ive seen you walking
Have you been there before?
Walk down your doorsteps, youll take some more steps
What did you take them for?
Theres a private in my boat and he wears
Pins instead of medals on his coat
Theres a chicken in my nest and she wont
Lay until Ive given her my best
At her request she asks for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you want she brings you water
If you dont then you will burn

Verse 2:
You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what youre put here for?
You think youre happy and you are happy
Thats what youre happy for
Theres a man who cant decide if he should
Fight for what his father thinks is right
There are people wearing frowns wholl screw you up
But they would rather screw you down
At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return
If youre nice shell bring me water
If youre not then I will burn

--- part ii (2:20) ---

Verse 1:
This is the time and life that I am living
And Ill face each day with a smile
For the time that Ive been givens such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
[1: there are places that I am going
4: therell be time for you to start all over]

Verse 2:
This is the only thing that I am sure of
And thats all that lives is gonna die
And therell always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
Therell be time for you to put yourself on

Verse 3:
Everything Ive seen needs rearranging
And for anyone who thinks its strange
Then you should be the first to want to make this change
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part youre playing

Bridge (4:03):
I see your picture
Its in the same old frame
We meet again
You look so lovely
You with the same old smile
Stay for a while
I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if you take it easy
Im still teethin
I wanna love you, but
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[repeat verse 1]

This is the time and this is the time and
It is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...
 
Here we are
Our hands are all untied
We'd rather walk than ride
Then ride and ride and ride, ride, ride
Ride and ride and ride
There you stand
Your eyes are in your head
You should have stayed in bed
Oh, fred in bed and ride, ride, ride
Fred in bed and ride

I keep on tellin' myself
Everything is gonna change
When I find someone to blame
And the people that I see won't bother me

I keep on hidin' myself
Away from everything
What a thing to fix your brain
I guess I want to be where it don't follow me

I keep on playin' my drums hey!
I keep on singin' my songs, I just got out my little red
I keep on doin' all the
Things I shouldn't have to do

I keep on buildin' my hopes
And you keep tearin' them down
What is this foolin' around
Are we supposed to be like history

I keep on playin' my drums, drums
I keep on singin' my songs, oh, yeah
I keep on doin' all the things I shouldn't have to do
 
Johnny the horse was kicked to death
He died for entertainment
Would you believe he came out well
He had a bright inquiring mind
His family knew that he'd go far
If he applied his time
But he started out standing on corners
And talking out loud, too loud
You see he couldn't believe in himself or the world
Or anything he heard
It seems a million years ago
That he left his life behind
The moment came for him to go
He said goodbye to his wife and child
Started out walking he never looked back
There was too much pain
Between Glasgow and London
One hot summer he forgot his name
Can you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!
Can you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!
Can you remember?
He started out standing on corners
And talking out loud, too loud
You see he couldn't believe in himself or the world
Or anything he heard
Can you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!
Can you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!
Will you remember?
Will you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!
Can you remember?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!
He took his battered bones and his broken dreams
to Regents Park at sunset
Will you remember?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!
Will you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!
Will you remember?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO
Johnny the horse was kicked to death
He died for entertainment
 
Pungent smells
They consumate my home
Beyond the black horizon
Trying to take control
See my girl
She shivers in her bones
The moon in zenith rising
Trying to take us all

Theres a fire between us
So where is your god?
Theres a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel

The sickening taste of the morbid jokes
Images of fascist boats
Beam me up 'cos I can't win

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man.

Its time to terminate the great white world
Morbid fascination
Television takes control
Decimation
Different races fall
Electronic information tampers with your soul

Theres a fire between us
So where is your god?
Theres a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel

The sickening taste of the morbid jokes
Images of fascist boats
Beam me up 'cos I can't win

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man.

Babylon Zoo

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man
 
i went down to the river
to meet the widow
she gave me an apple
it was red

i slept in her black arms
for a century
she wanted nothing in return
i gave her nothing in return
i gave her nothing in return

the ghost of her husband
beautiful as a horse
pulled up an apple cart
full of millions of red apples

for us
 
yr gonna get random snatches of lyrics from beautiful songs.....

i think everything counts a little more than we think

break my arms around the one i love, be forgiven by the time my lover comes.

if i could, i'd be your star again..... takes a lot of liberating, to make you feel like nothing. anything, anything i can do, do for me for everything i did for you. nothing.

hey love, we'll get away with it, we'll run like we're awesome, totally genius.

you're aware of yourself lately, and i can tell, i can tell i'm losing weight. you're measuring me lately, you're dressing me. do not tell me i've changed, you're just raising your standards.

you've got cold girl fever. what are you for, now that i have hardcore?

I wanna hurry home to you, put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up. so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain,
god I’m very, very frightening. I’ll overdo it

the car was warm and we had wine, but i couldn't find the perfect song. i never tried to find you, i hope you don't remember me, i hope you're not alone

put your spine in your back and your arms in your coat, don't hold onto me when there's nothing to hold.

send a body double over with your keys.

Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink, I've lost direction, and I'm past my peak. I'm telling you this isn't me, No, this isn't me, Karen, believe me, you just haven't seen my good side yet

we're drunk and sparking, our legs are open, our hands are covered in cake but i swear we didn't have any.




and, le coup de grace,

Karen, take me to the nearest famous city middle
Where they hang the lights
Where it's random, and it's common versus common
La di la

I've got five hundred in twenties
And I've got a ton of great ideas
I'm really worked up
I'm on a good mixture, I don't want to waste it
I'm on a good mixture, I do not want to waste it
I wanna go gator around the warm beds of beginners
I'm really worked up

Karen, take me to the nearest famous city middle
Where they hang the lights
Where it's random, and it's common versus common
La di la

I have weird memories of you
Wearing long red socks and red shoes
I have weird memories
I have weird memories of you
Pissing in a sink, I think
I have weird memories of you

I wanna go gator around the warm beds of beginners
I'm really worked up
I wanna go gator around the warm beds of beginners
I'm really worked up

Karen, take me to the nearest famous city middle
Where they hang the lights
Where it's random, and it's common versus common
La di la

I have weird memories of you
Wearing long red socks and red shoes
I have weird memories
I have weird memories of you
Pissing in a sink, I think

I have weird memories of you

Parking your car, you said, I'm overwhelmed
You were thinking out loud, you said, I'm overwhelmed
You were parking your car, you said, I'm overwhelmed
You were thinking out loud, you said, I'm overwhelmed
You said, I think I'm like Tennessee Williams
I wait for the click
I wait, but it doesn't kick in
I think I'm like Tennesse Williams
I wait for the click
I wait, but it doesn't kick in

I have weird memories of you
Wearing long red socks and red shoes
I have weird memories
I have weird memories of you
Pissing in a sink, I think
I have weird memories of you
la da da da...

I have weird memories of you












fuck, karen, i miss you and it's only just hitting me again how much.



sorry for the weirdy post, kids.
 
Late news breaking this just in
Late news breaking this just in
Yeah, cool 'n' out
Yeah, cool 'n' out
Yeah, cool 'n' out

God sure baked a lot of fruitcake, baby
When Adam met the Eden lady
They're walking the streets and they're driving cars
They're all over the country and they're running ours
They're walking on the wounded who won the war
What's the matter people - was it worth fighting for
Cool 'n' out

Fix that gauge or you run out of gas
A cool operator can make it last
Say, from here to Indiana and across Illinois
We're rockin the girls and a-boppin' on the boys
And I spot a little bitty on a little bam-bam
That pill poppers hopping on a city bound tram

The stars go in and the stars go out
And punk rock what it's all about
And even when you're ch-ch-ch-ch-chillin' out
You're wondering wa wa wa wa what's it all about
Cool 'n' out, cool 'n' out cool 'n' out cool 'n' out

At the G7 summit, well we've got some 25
And we're putting it into the gin supply
We want a satellite crashing outta the skies
And a firework display by ballistic missiles
I got a sneeky feeling that the poker's getting hot
twice times bitten and it's third time shot, third time shot

Oh, the stars go in and the stars go out
And punk rock what it's all about
And even when you're ch-ch-ch-ch-chillin' out
You're wondering what's it all about?
Cool 'n'
What's it all about?
Let somebody else figure it out

What's it all about,
The stars go in and the stars go out
Punk rock what it's all about
And even when you're ch-ch-ch-ch-chillin' out

The stars go in and the stars go out
Punk rock what it's all about
And even when you're ch-ch-ch-ch-chillin' out
what's it all about
The stars go in and the stars go out
Punk rock what it's all about
And even when you're ch-ch-ch-ch-chillin' out
What's it all about?
 
We built the buildings of the new city
Out of the broken down peoples
And we built the new languages
Out of courtesy and velocity
Somebody got to have propulsion
Push the envelope

Extra, extra - read all about it
Common sense makes a comeback
Extra, extra - late in the distant city
There are seventeen burned out cars in the valley
And, "Boom," goes the refinery
Where do nomads go when the Dow Jones falls too low
Crazy world
Lee says forty nine

We tried to get across the river
Ringo, Bobo, el numero - holy cow
At Leek town hall tonight
Get me a taxi, godamn
Take me to a reggae city

I'm always reporting for you
In the dangerous bureau
This is McNally, badge forty-nine, calling in
I'm with Mike Flynn
Taxi, godamn
Ringo
 
Play us a song we can slow dance on
We want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts beat together
Oh, baby, 'cause it feel so good
When we're close like this
Whisper in my ear and let me steal a kiss

Chorus:

Come on and touch me
When we're dancing
You know you've got that loving touch
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love

Tonight's the night and it feels so right
My heart is saying it to me
You're the one I've waited for so long
So let your love flow through me
Oh, baby, 'cause it feels so good
Just to be this close
You've got me up so high
I could fly coast to coast

* i love the carpenters :)
 
We wanted to find love
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess

Somehow I lost touch
When you went out of sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the night

I was in need of help
Heading to blackout
Till someone told me "run on in honey
Before somebody blows your goddamn brains out"

You shoplifted as a child
I had a model's smile
You carried all my hopes
Until something broke inside
But now

We float
Take life as it comes
We float
Take life as it comes

So will we die of shock?
Die without a trial?
Die on Good Friday?
While holding each other tight

This is kind of about you
This is kind of about me
We just kinda lost our way
We were looking to be free
But one day

We'll float
Take life as it comes
We'll float
Take life as it comes

But one day
We'll float
Take life as it comes
 
i fell in love with you on the way to, to the funeral
someone called your name and i wept, i wept for you.
but i'm the one who's been here for a thousand years and i want more

it's caused by the way you look tonight
it's caused by the glimmering of electric light
it's caused by you and i this time
it's caused by existential cigarettes
it's caused by the way you shook in time
it's caused by joanne.

she got killed on the way through, to the fairground
friends, they called me, they all knew
but i'm the one who felt it all for her, how many times will i...


it's caused by the way you look tonight
it's caused by the glimmering of electric light
it's caused by you and i this time
it's caused by existential cigarettes
it's caused by the way you shook in time
it's caused by joanne.

i fell in love on the way to..
how many times will i...?
i got lost on the way through
how many times will i...?

it's caused by the way you look tonight

People started caring about what they eat
And people started smiling at everyone they meet
And people started looking for good instead of bad
Realize what they could lose in what they always had

People started growing, instead of being crushed
And people started slowing down instead of being rushed
And people started looking with very different eyes
And this information now comes as a surprise

Good morning here's the news and all of it is good
Good evening here's the news and all of it is good
And the weather's good!

People started calling those in power to account
And people started saying, "I want my voice to count"
And people started learning that they don't need to fight
And they control their future and try to make it right

And people started feeling that better's on the way
And people started feeling some peace and calm today
And people started liking the way that good life feels
And every precious moment becoming what is real

Good morning here's the news and all of it is good
Good evening here's the news and all of it is good
And the weather's good!

It starts with the child who spoke out of turn
Whose eyes were too bright, whose heart was to burn
And all of the heat of so much to prove
And all of the pain in the Mountain that he needed to move

Your journey will be hard like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

The curse of the gift can sometimes be cruel
The path that you choose confused with a fool
Wire in the brain and there isn't a choice
Driven by details and persistance of some inner voice

Your journey will be hard like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

Like the madman who played, but then his tuning was wrong
And the boy who jumped back, because the light was too strong
Who raged at the moon 'cause the nights were too long
But left me some hope in the words of a song

Then the Ghost asked "d'you see it as strange
That all this went on and you never changed?"
And though the Kid said "time changes, not me"
The west grew old and there was something there that he'd never see

Your journey will be hard like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

When all of the parties have partied away
Eternal spring wakes to a cold winter's day
With great expectations relying on fate
Fate holds out a hand you must take it, before it's too late

Journey will be hard like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up

So don't be furious, don't be aggrieved
Believe in the things that we always believed
Try to be cool, walk out there with me
Then we will always be
Then we will always be... free

Your journey will be hard like an Indigo Child
Finding your way out in the wild
And all the while waiting for life to interrupt
Some boys just never grow up
Some boys just never grow up
 
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead,"
"I never died," says he.
"I never died," says he.

"In Salt Lake, Joe," says I to him,
Him standing by my bed,
"They framed you on a murder charge,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."

"The copper bosses killed you, Joe,
They shot you, Joe," says I.
"Takes more than guns to kill a man,"
Says Joe, "I didn't die,"
Says Joe, "I didn't die."

And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Says Joe, "What they forgot to kill
Went on to organize,
Went on to organize."

"Joe Hill ain't dead," he says to me,
"Joe Hill ain't never died.
Where working men are out on strike
Joe Hill is at their side,
Joe Hill is at their side."

From San Diego up to Maine,
In every mine and mill -
Where working men defend their rights
It's there you'll find Joe Hill.
It's there you'll find Joe Hill.

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead",
"I never died," says he.
"I never died," says he.
