Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly With his song I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him and listen for a while And there he was this young boy A stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly With his song

One love, one blood One life, you got to do what you should One life, with each other Sisters, brothers One life but we're not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One One

The sun had been up for a couple of hours It covered the ground with a layer of gold Spirits were high and the raining had stopped The larder was low, but boy that wasn't all Eleventh Earl of Mar Couldn't get them very far Daddy! Oh Daddy, you promised

So keep on playing those mind games together Faith in the future, out of the now You just can't beat on those mind guerillas Absolute elsewhere, in the stones of your mind Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever Projecting our images in space and in time Yes is the answer And you know that for sure Yes is surrender You gotta let it, you gotta let it go

Transmit the message, to the receiver, Hope for an answer some day I got three passports, a couple of visas, You don't even know my real name High on a hillside, the trucks are loading, Everything's ready to roll I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime, I might not ever get home This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, This ain't no fooling around This ain't no Mudd Club, or C. B. G. B., I ain't got time for that now

Karma police, arrest this man He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge He's like a detuned radio Karma police, arrest this girl Her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill And we have crashed her party

Hey, if you are looking for a little action Hey, if you are looking for a place to go Hey, if you are looking for some satisfaction Whoa, it's the voices of freedom Whoa, it's the voices of freedom Hey, if you are looking for a little inspiration Hey, if you are looking for a little bit of soul Hey, if you are looking for a little, hey, gut reaction It's the voices of freedom

Everybody had a hard year Everybody had a good time Everybody had a wet dream Everybody saw the sunshine Oh yeah (oh yeah) Oh yeah, oh yeah (yeah) Everybody had a good year Everybody let their hair down Everybody pulled their socks up (yeah) Everybody put their foot down Oh yeah

In the thick of the evening, when the dealing got rough She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff As I picked up my matches and was closing the door I had one of those flashes I'd been there before, been there before Well, I ain't always right, but I've never been wrong Seldom turns out the way it does in a song Once in a while, you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right

Out of the blue and into the black You pay for this, but they give you that And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black. The king is gone but he's not forgotten Is this the tale of Johnny rotten? It's better to burn out than fade away The king is gone but he's not forgotten. Hey hey, my my Rock and roll can never die There's more to the picture Than meets the eye. Hey hey, my my.

The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless skies, my love To the dark and the endless skies

Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes There's gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can't trace time Mmm, yeah I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence And so the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same

Got to pick up the phone I will call any number I will talk to anyone I know I'm gone too far Much too far I gone this time And I don't want to think what I've done I don't know how to stop No, I don't know how to stop There are always hidden silences Waiting behind the chair They come out when the coast is clear They eat anything that moves I go shaky at the knees Lights go out, stars come down Like a swarm of bees No self-control No self-control No self-control

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream I cannot make a single sound as you scream It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch Hey, we touch This place is so quiet, sensing that storm Red rain is coming down Red rain

Fixed

Love doesn't come in a minute Sometimes it doesn't come at all I only know that when I'm in it It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly Love isn't silly at all How can I tell you about my loved one? How can I tell you about my loved one? How can I tell you about my loved one? How can I tell you about my loved one?

And now the day is come Soon he will be released Glory Hallelujah! We're building the Perfect Beast Ever since we crawled out of the ocean and stood upright on land There are some things that we just don't understand: Relive all the pain and suffering and lift us out of the dark Turn us all into Methuselah- But where are we gonna park?

There's a pure idea in every mind Waiting to be acted on Yesterday we have to leave behind Climbing up that hill, never stop But I'd prefer that you were next to me Making the shape that used to be How'm I gonna sleep without you? I don't want this lonely night How'm I gonna sleep, oh baby, I love you And I don't need this endless night

I can see the sunset in your eyes Brown and grey and blue besides Clouds are stalking islands in the sun I wish I could buy one out of season But don't, oh no no, hesitate 'Cause your love just won't wait, just won't wait Ooh baby, I love your way (Every, everyday)

Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed Shadows painting our faces Traces of romance in our heads Heaven's holding a half-moon Shining just for us Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon And kick up a little dust Come on, Cactus is our friend He'll point out the way Come on, till the evening ends 'Til the evening ends You don't have to answer There's no need to speak I'll be your belly dancer, prancer And you can be my sheik

I had to phone someone, so I picked on you Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too! Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window, I can see his light If we can sparkle, he may land tonight Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright There's a Starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a Starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie

And what you say about his company Is what you say about society Catch the witness, catch the wit Catch the spirit, catch the spit The world is, the world is Love and life are deep Maybe as his eyes are wide

I love to love you, baby I love to love you, baby I love to love you, baby I love to love you, baby I love to love you, baby I love to love you, baby When you're laying so close to me There's no place I'd rather you be than with me, me, uh

You lot! What? Don't stop! Give it all you got! You lot! What? Don't stop! Yeah! Working for a rise, better my station Take my baby to sophistication She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice Better work hard - I seen the price Never mind that it's time for the bus We got to work - an' you're one of us Clocks go slow in a place of work Minutes drag and the hours jerk "When can I tell 'em wot I do? In a second, maaan...oright Chuck!" Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss It's our profit, it's his loss But anyway lunch bells ring Take one hour and do your thanng! Cheeesboiger!

Summertime and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-looking So hush, little baby, don't you cry
