Spirit of the Water..






Camel - Spirit of the Water

See the lights out on the water
Come and go, to and from

In the time it takes to find them
You can live, you can die

And nothing stops the river as it goes by
Nothing stops the river as it goes


All alone and all together
Every day, come what may

By the time we find each other
We can live, we can die

And nothing stops the river as it flows by
Nothing stops the river as it goes

Maria...






Blondie - Maria

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh, it makes you wanna die


Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Ooh, wanna make her all your own?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

She walks like she don't care
You wanna take her everywhere
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
She's like a millionaire
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina...

Army of Ignorance...






Samsara Blues Experiment - Army of Ignorance

Slumming angel...






Rory Gallagher - Slumming Angel

You're like a Slumming Angel, lost on the wrong side of town
Just want to see the pictures, tell your man, "Turn down the sound"
You're acting wise but aren't you afraid, 'round here you might get blown away
Like a Slumming Angel, lost on the wrong side of town


Slumming Angel, lost on the wrong side of the tracks
I saw you ask the poor kid, to take the time to show you back

Don't burn your wings, flying too high
Around here you just might end up dying

Like a Slumming Angel, lost on the wrong side of town
Slumming Angel, don't you know your way around?
Straight out of heaven, don't you know where you stand?
Take off those rose-colored glasses, this is no wonderland

You're like a Slumming Angel, lost on the wrong side of the tracks
Saw you ask the poor boy, to take the time to show you back
Go home to your daddy, where you ought to go
Things have changed around here, don't you know

You're like a Slumming Angel, lost on the wrong side of town
Slumming Angel, let me show you around

Once more 'round the sun...







Mastodon - Once more 'round the sun

I'm a man and that's who I am
And I'll tell you that to your face
I'm from the clouds and I shine like the moon
And I'm here to fuck up the place

Make it last, make it count
One more 'round and I'll see you outside 

Heaven knows life can turn on a dime
So let's enjoy our time

They've got me hanging upside down again
Once more 'round the sun we go again

What's the meaning of this life that we leave
When we're caught up in the race?

My heart is spinning like a merry-go-round
And I want you to take a ride

I know it's rough and I know that you're weary
But it's nice once you step inside

Roll me over and turn me around
And let's make up on time

They've got me hanging upside down again
I just want to melt into the sun again
Once more 'round the sun we go, again

They've got me hanging upside down again
I just want to melt into the sun again
They've got me hanging upside down again
Once more 'round the sun we go, again

The Empire of the Clouds...






Iron Maiden - The Empire Of The Clouds

To ride the storm, to an empire of the clouds
To ride the storm, they climbed aboard their silver ghost
To ride the storm, to a kingdom that will come
To ride the storm, and damn the rest, oblivion

Royalty and dignitaries
Brandy and cigars
Grey lady giant of the skies
You hold them in your arms
The millionth chance they laughed
To take down His Majesty's craft
To India, they say
Magic carpet float away
An October fateful day

Mist is in the trees
Stone sweats with the dew
The morning sunrise
Red before the blue
Hanging at the mast
Waiting for command
His Majesty's airship
The R101

She's the biggest vessel built by man
A giant of the skies
For all you unbelievers
The Titanic fits inside
Drum roll tight her canvas skin
Silvered in the sun
Never tested with the fury
With the beating yet to come
The fury yet to come

In the gathering gloom
The storm rising in the west
The coxswain stared
Into the plunging weather glass
We must go now
We must take our chance with fate
We must go now
For a politician, he can't be late

The airship crew awake
For thirty hours at full stretch
But the ship is in their backbone
Every sinew every inch
She never flew at full speed
A trial never done
Her fragile outer cover
Her achilles would become
An achilles yet to come

Sailors of the sky
A hardened breed
Loyal to the king and an airship creed
The engines drum
The telegraph sounds
Release the cords that bind us to the ground

Said the coxswain "Sir she's heavy"
"She'll never make this flight"
Said the captain "damn the cargo"
"We'll be on our way tonight"
Groundlings cheered in wonder
As she backed off from the mast
Baptizing them her water
From the ballast fore and aft
Now she slips into our past

Fighting the wind as it rolls you
Feeling the diesels that push you along
Watching the channel below you
Lower and lower into the night
Lights are passing below you
Northern France asleep in their beds
Storm is raging around you
A million to one, that's what he said

Reaper standing beside her
With his scythe cuts to the bone
Panic to make a decision
Experienced men asleep in their graves
Her cover is ripped and she's drowning
Rain is flooding into the hull
Bleeding to death and she's falling
Lifting gas is draining away

"We're down lads" came the cry
Bow plunging from the sky
Three thousand horses silent
As the ship began to die
The flares to guide her path
Ignited at the last
The Empire of the Clouds
Just ashes in our past
Just ashes at the last

Here lie their dreams
As I stand in the sun
On the ground where they built
And the engines did run
To the moon and the stars
Now what have we done
Oh the dreamers may die
But the dreams live on

Dreams live on
Dreams live on

Now a shadow on a hill
The angel of the east
The Empire of the Clouds
May rest in peace
And in a country churchyard
Laid head to the mast
Eight and forty souls
Who came to die in France

From my White and windy Tower...






Summoning - The White Tower

While, i, look at the moon ... alone I look out under moonlight
From in my windy tower ... from in my white and windy tower
Ye bide no moment and await no hour,
But go with solemn song and harpers tune

Through the darkest night ... through darkest night and shadow seashores
To the distant trees, the trees that brought the light to valar
Whose fruit and flower are the moon and sun,
Where light of earth is ended and begun.

Here only comes at whiles a wind to blow
Returning now down ... down the way ye go,
With perfume place, and places of unearthly trees ... of unearthly trees

Here only long ... afar through window pane
I glimpse the sound of the golden rain
That falls now down ... for ever on the outer seas ... on the outer seas.

Ir in-elenath gwennin
I' il thinna, I amar u-dartha
Am man darthon, a linnon
Nu galad hen fireb?

(When the starry host has departed
The star fades, the world does not wait
Why do I linger and sing
Under this fading mortal light?)

Ten foot pole..






ZZ Top - Ten Foot Pole

Tidify da, sinmah gough dah hep haing ding fum gogamamo

Shees my nurirng my nu esit seten' ra mind at a ros reshoo

Hmm, I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole
I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole
You just don't know what shape I'm in

I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole

Where is my mind?...






Pixies - Where Is My Mind?

(Ooh) Stop

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
Where is my mind? (Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind? Where is my mind?)
Way out in the water, see it swimming

I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except for one little fish, bump into me
I swear he's trying to talk to me coy Koi

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
Where is my mind? (Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind? Where is my mind?)
Way out in the water, see it swimming

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
Where is my mind? (Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind? Where is my mind?)
Way out in the water, see it swimming

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Spread your wings...






Queen - Spread your wings

Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time
He'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind

His boss said to him
'Boy you'd better begin
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are?
You should've been sweeping up the Emerald bar'

Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Pull yourself together
'Cause you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man


He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
Keeping his thoughts to himself he'd be leaving soon
Wishing he was miles and miles away
Nothing in this world nothing would make him stay


Since he was small
Had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He'd made up his mind
'This could be my last chance'


His boss said to him 'now listen boy
You're always dreaming
You've got no real ambition you won't get very far
Sammy boy don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy at the Emerald bar?'

So honey
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Pull yourself together
'Cause you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man

Come on honey
Fly with me
