Golden Heart
GOLDEN HEART She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store A while before we met The most dangerous angels that you ever saw She spied her amulet And she took a loop of leather for around her neck And that was then the start The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck She found her Golden Heart You found your Golden Heart Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun to some Arcadian band I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum Just to hold time in my hand And you shot me with a cannonball of history And long forgotten art I'd be turning it over as our words ran free I'd hold your Golden Heart I'd hold your Golden Heart Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart Your Golden Heart And every time I'm thinking of you from a distant shore And all the time I sleep I will have a reminder that my baby wore A part of you to keep And I'll send you all my promises across the sea And while we are apart I will carry the wonder that you gave to me I'll wear your Golden Heart I'll wear your Golden Heart Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart Your Golden Heart
RÜDIGER Rüdiger stands in the rain and the snow Collector of autographs Names upon photographs Faces of people who everyone knows Rüdiger lives in a place on his own Briefcase and spectacles Strange and respectable He knows the meaning of being alone Rüdiger works as a clerk in the town Music or politics Rüdiger gets his kicks He gets information then he comes around Rüdiger waits at the hall in Berlin He waits there all night Security's tight They know who he is but they don't let him in Rüdiger waits in the dark by the stair His fingers are shaking His feet they are aching But your name's in the paper so Rüdiger's there
CANNIBALS Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toys He holds on to his daddy's hand His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy You're gonna be a big strong man And they go play catch they go play ball They go take a walk along the sand Big strong daddy and a big strong boy Living in a big strong land Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie Daddy can I have a dinosaur Once upon a time there were cannibals Now there are no cannibals any more Down in Louisiana there's a hurricane coming The little boy climbs the stairs And all along the levee all the people come running And the little boy's saying his prayers And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy And he's asking for his G.I. Joe And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin And says my little one I love you so Lay down your head now don't get out of bed Don't you let the bedbugs bite It's time to sleep now not another peep And I'll see you in the morning light And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying The hurricane had blown away And daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy And he was singing at the break of day Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie Daddy can I be a warrior Once upon a time there were cannibals Now there are no cannibals any more Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie Daddy why do people go to war Once upon a time there were cannibals Now there are no cannibals any more
JE SUIS DÉSOLÉ We are leaving, leaving Leaving on the tide Come and stand beside me love The water is so wide You can hear the sailors calling At the dawning of the day Yesterday is falling, love And je suis désolé, je suis désolé Je suis désolé, mais je n'ai pas le choix Je suis désolé, mais la vie me demande ça I am turning, turning From a land that I loved well Look ahead my darling one across the rolling swell And you can hear the seagulls crying As we're slipping out of the bay Yesterday is dying, love And je suis désolé, je suis désolé Je suis désolé, mais je n'ai pas le choix Je suis désolé, mais la vie me demande ça We are sailing, sailing For a land that's proud and free I had no more endurance For what had become of me And I will do that which I must do, love And now we're under way All that I can say to you is je suis désolé Je suis désolé, mais je n'ai pas le choix Je suis désolé, mais la vie me demande ça Je suis désolé, mais je n'ai pas le choix Je suis désolé, mais la vie me demande ça
Romeo And Juliet
ROMEO AND JULIET A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it? Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that Anyway what you gonna do about it? Juliet the dice were loaded from the start And I bet and you exploded in my heart And I forget I forget the movie song When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet? Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals? When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him Juliet when we made love you used to cry You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die There's a place for us you know the movie song When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet? I can't do the talk like they talk on TV And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you I can't do anything except be in love with you And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be All I do is keep the beat and bad company All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme Julie I'd do the stars with you any time Juliet when we made love you used to cry You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die There's a place for us you know the movie song When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet? A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it?
DONE WITH BONAPARTE We've paid in hell since Moscow burned As Cossacks tear us piece by piece Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues Though death would be a sweet release And our grande armée is dressed in rags A frozen starving beggar band Like rats we steal each other's scraps Fall to fighting hand to hand Save my soul from evil, Lord And heal this soldier's heart I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord I'm done with Bonaparte What dreams he made for us to dream Spanish skies, Egyptian sands The world was ours, we marched upon Our little Corporal's command And I lost an eye at Austerlitz The sabre slash yet gives me pain My one true love awaits me still The flower of the aquitaine Save my soul from evil, Lord And heal this soldier's heart I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord I'm done with Bonaparte I pray for her who prays for me A safe return to my belle France We prayed these wars would end all wars In war we know is no romance And I pray our child will never see A little Corporal again Point toward a foreign shore Captivate the hearts of men Save my soul from evil, Lord And heal this soldier's heart I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord I'm done with Bonaparte
A NIGHT IN SUMMER LONG AGO My lady may I have this dance Forgive a knight who knows no shame My lady may I have this dance And lady may I have your name You danced upon a soldier's arm And I felt the blade of love so keen And when you smiled you did me harm And I was drawn to you, my Queen Now these boots may take me where they will Though they may never shine like his There is no knight I would not kill To have my lady's hand to kiss Yes and they did take me through the hall To leave me not one breath from you And they fell silent one and all And you could see my heart was true Then I did lead you from the hall And we did ride upon the hill Away beyond the city wall And sure you are my lady still A night in summer long ago The stars were falling from the sky And still, my heart, I have to know Why do you love me, lady, why?
BROTHERS IN ARMS These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arm Through these fields of destruction Baptism of fire I've watched all your suffering As the battles raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line on your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms
Are We In Trouble Now
ARE WE IN TROUBLE NOW It wasn't just the music It wasn't just the wine Some other kind of magic Was sending up my spine Then I was falling And I fell for you, and how Darling, are we in trouble now They say we're grown up But we've been searching all this time I wouldn't own up Never would admit to flying blind But in the Darkness We found each other anyhow Darling, are we in trouble now When we'd talk it over Love was a cry from a distant shore Then we found each other And all that we'd been searching for And I'm done denying I guess by now you know I'm through with trying Can't bring myself to let you go And of all these feelings We said we never would allow Darling, are we in trouble now
GRAVY TRAIN Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories Ridin' on the Gravy Train Leaving all the places that they really ought to brave Ridin' on the Gravy Train Past the coal mines black and scarred Starter houses in the loading yard On the Gravy Train, On the Gravy Train There's the lucky little mothers in their luxury cars Ridin' on the Gravy Train Never thank each other or their lucky stars Ridin' on the Gravy Train That's worse than ingratitude Worse than a piss poor attitude On the Gravy Train, Gravy Train Well the hanger-uppers and the hangers-on Ridin' on the Gravy Train Champagne suppers with their daggers all drawn Ridin' on the Gravy Train Some act tough, some act rude Some bit of fluff complain about the food You wanna see somebody getting really rude Get on the Gravy Train, Gravy Train Well the golden goose is clattering-a-down the track, And they're gonna be ridin' in an old caboose Coming back There's the soldiers of fashion on the hit parade Ridin' on the Gravy Train Tongue lashing with the bitch brigade Ridin' on the Gravy Train Free loader licks my boots Tells me how he digs my suit You got lucky son, don't get cute Get on the Gravy Train
