Presence

Achilleslast stand

It was an April morning, When they told us we should go
As I turn to you, You smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have, To live the dreams we always had
Woa the songs to sing, When we at last return again
Sending off a glancing kiss, To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears, The devil is in his hole
Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Into the sun the south the north, Lies the first of hope
The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd
To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring, In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat,
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
(Cool Guitar Solo)
Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summers glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual time to grow
Oh the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again
Wandering upon the rings
What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
 The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
 From the earth
Ooooooooooooooh
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way (2x)
Ooh, ahh, etc...
Oh the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
Oooh, ahh, etc...

For your life

You said I was the only, oh, oh
With my lemon in your hand
Exhibition is your habit
Emotions second hand, oh, oh
Had to pull away to save me
Maybe next time around
And she said, don't you wannit?
Don't you want coca coca cocaine?
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to
Try it, friend, yeah, na, na, yeah
Whoo ooh ooh ooh
Heard a cry for mercy
In the city of the damned
Oh oh babe, damned
Impossible to go lower
The next stop's on the ground
Oh, low on the ground
You want to know is it quite over
To fame and tears and losing hair
And I said didn't mean to... did not mean to f-fail
You didn't plan it, you overran it...yeeeeeeah!
You wanna do it, you wanna
You wanna do it when you wanna
You wanna do it, do it when you wanna
When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please fake it right
For yourself, babe, will you fake it?
You're fakin' it for your life
For your life, For your life, For your life
 Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, Do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it, Do it when you wanna
 Oh, I can have you, baby
But I don't know what to do, yeah
Sometime, baby, nothin' I could do 
Wanna find myself a crystal, Payin' through the nose
And when they couldn't resist you,
I said "Just go with the flow"
 And now your stage is empty
and now the curtain, baby please.
Fold up your show
Hadn't planned to, Could not stand to, (fryin!)
Hadn't planned it, I over ran in, (fryin!)
For your life, For your life

Royal Orleans

One town love, You better take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night, And if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it, Sometimes its hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite
A man I know, went down to Louisiana,
Had himself a bad, bad fight, And when the sun peeks through
John Cameron he sees (sandy???)
He kissed the whiskers and left and right, Whiskers!
 Now, now, now, A fight subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter, A friendship took a bash tonight
Now love gets hot, Look far for a sea with water
Grew whiskers sittin' there through the night
Whiskers!
Down on Bourbon street, You know it's right
You can see my friend
When they run around us in the night
Most everywhere, Until the closet's bare
Run for the razor, fun, Doin' up my hair
New Orleans queens, Sure know how to schmooz it
Maybe for some that seems alright, When I step out
I'm struck down with my sugar
She wears my cloak like fairy white
Now, one town love, Take care how you use it
And try to make it last all night, Take your pick
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.

Nobody's fault but mine

Ah, ah, ah ...
Oh, nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine, yeah
Trying to save my soul to light
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine
Devil he told me to roll
The devil he told me to roll
How to roll the line tonight
Nobody's fault but mine
Ah, ah, ah ...
Somebody show me the (gun? door? gong?)
Somebody show me the ding dong ding dong
I will get down rolling tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine
 That monkey on my back
The m-m-m-m-monkey on my back, back, back
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Hots on for nowhere

I was burned in the heat of the moment,
Oh! it could've been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
Dear fellows I turned away
Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder,
When I should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older
I've got friends who will give me fuck all
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, la
Corner of Bleeker and nowhere, In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone, Face in the mirror turns grey
So, I looked 'round for a hitch from a reindeer
Said you oughtta find him out in the day
I turned 'round to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, la
The moon and the stars out of order
As the tide tends to ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay
I don't ask that my feet fall on clover
I don't roam at opportunity's door
Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh
[guitar solo]
Lost on the path to attainment, Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter (matchhead?)
I started bleeding without a disguise
Now everything's finally happened
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
Or you'll land in a boat without oars
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, la
Hey babe, Hey babe, Hey babe, I lost my way
Hey babe, Hey babe, I really, really did now.
Hey babe, Hey babe, I don't know where I'm gonna find it.
Hey babe, Hey babe, Do you wanna know,
o you really, really, wanna help me, yeah?
Let me tell you now, babe, Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right
Now my babe, Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right
Now my babe, Let me tell you
If it feels, if it feels, if it feels, if it feels so good,
so good, so good, Oh, yes.

Tea for one

How come twenty four hours
Baby sometimes seem to slip into days
Oh twenty-four hours
Baby sometimes seem to slip into days
When a minute seems like a lifetime
Ooh baby when I feel this way
Sittin, lookin at the clock
Oh time moves so slow
I've been watchin for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more
How come twenty four hours
Baby sometimes seems to slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime
Baby when I feel this way
To sing a song for you
I recall you used to say
"Oh baby this one's for we too"
Which in the end is you anyway
How come twenty four hours
Baby sometimes slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh baby when I feel this way
