When the May Rain Comes

Green are the streets

The asphalt is glistening

When the dust of the day

Will be washed away

The windows are closed

And the rain is dripping

From sill to sill

And down to the ground

When the May rain comes... 

Very young are the leaves

Of the trees and the shrubs

And tiny flowers grow! 

In the roadside ditch

The laughter of a child

Who's jumping into puddles

Whilst the water trickles

Right over her face

And this is the morning of the year

A rainy green smile

After a long gloomy

Pale winter night

The shouting of the child

Melts into rustling

When the heavy rain

Rushes

From on the high

When the May rain comes

All of this shall be washed away

When the May rain comes...

Lost Causes

We went down with November

Lights out, late December

We missed Santa Claus, and all lost causes

Burned out and exhausted

Now rewind to September

So sweet and tender

Air is gentle, nights still warm

Shelter before the storm

June is almost lost on me

When promises come easy

With nothing to lose, but all lost causes

Summer nights never exhaust us

We went down with November

Lights out, 'til late December

I be shelter for the coming storm

But I won't be the one to take you home

Flunk

All Along the Watchtower

There must be some kind of way outta here

Said the joker to the thief

There's too much confusion

I can't get no relief

Business men, they drink my wine

Plowman dig my earth

None were level on the mind

Nobody up at his word

Hey, hey

No reason to get excited

The thief he kindly spoke

There are many here among us

Who feel that life is but a joke

But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that

And this is not our fate

So let us stop talkin' falsely now

The hour's getting late, hey

All along the watchtower

Princes kept the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the cold distance 

A wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching

And the wind began to howl

Jimi Hendrix

Everyday Is Like Sunday

Trudging slowly over wet sand

Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen

This is the coastal town

That they forgot to close down

Armageddon - come Armageddon!

Come, Armageddon! Come!

Everyday is like Sunday

Everyday is silent and grey

Hide on the promenade

Etch a postcard :

"How I Dearly Wish I Was Not Here"

In the seaside town

That they forgot to bomb

Come, come, come - nuclear bomb

Everyday is like Sunday

Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand

And a strange dust lands on your hands

(And on your face...)

(On your face...)

Everyday is like Sunday

"Win yourself a cheap tray"

Share some greased tea with me

Everyday is silent and grey

Morrissey

Look For Me (I'll Be Around)

When you tire of all the bright lights

Haste that's killing and you're willing to stay home nights

When your feet are back on the solid ground

Look for me, I'll be around

When the new crowd starts to bore you

Just remember there is someone to adore you

When you're weary of nights out on the town

Look for me, I'll be around

May not seem exciting the way those others do

I'm emotion, my devotion

You will need some day as I need you

When the kicks go that it brings you

You will hanker for an anchor just to cling to

When you've lived it up till it's got you down

Look for me, look for me

Look for me, I'll be around

I'm Not Human At All

It's not your fault.

It's my own fault.

I'm not human at all.

I have no heart.

It's not my fault.

It's not a fault.

I'm not human at all.

I have no heart.

Sleep Party People

The Boatman

Well it was yoyo, I suppose,

I play like fashion comes and goes.

I can't set my mind on you.

Yes I lied about those lovers,

that they were just some kind of cover

for the nights we used to share.

I've seen this water a lot before,

still I cross it once more.

I shook the hand of the boatman

who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

the bridges I burnt

the bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

the bridges I burnt

the bridges I burnt by now

There are taking bets,

living all around our bed,

for I can't see my thoughts on you.

And I reduced them to a scratch.

You know, just some pre-fucked-up match

for the nights we used to share.

But I don't believe I care.

I shook the hand of the boatman

who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

the bridges I burnt

the bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

the bridges I burnt

the bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

Don't Die In Me

The mighty continents divided

For a second time in all history

They found themselves just floating

Free from all responsibility

Without the weight of being whole

Some fruits evolved all on their own

But if you want something back

All the things that got cracked

When I felt like you lied to me

And all the million mistakes

And the kicks in the face

But i don't want you to die in me

So when you say what you want

That you need what you got

Don't forget to be kind to me

Now here's an apple with a tougher skin

While you've got your pretty scales and fins you say

See all the things that i can do

So perfectly my body moves but in

All the time you felt so free

Did you forget how much you once loved me

And if you want something back

All the things that got cracked

When I felt like you lied to me

And all the million mistakes

And the kicks in the face

But i don't want you to die in me

So when you say what you want

That you need what you got

Don't forget to be kind to me

I don't want you to die in me

Strangers In The Wind

These hands

Like strangers in the wind

These eyes

Float in the breeze

These hands

Like strangers in the wind

This voice

Calling to me

These hands

Like strangers in the wind

These eyes

Float in the breeze

Run to the lights of the city

These moments pass and we'll be there

(And she looks good)

Run to the lights of the city

(And she looks good)

This dance will last us forever

Forever

(You could stay for what you came here for

A daze is what you're falling for

You could stay for what you came here for

A daze is what you're falling for

You could stay for what you came here for

A daze is what you're falling for

You could stay for what you came here for

A daze is what you're falling for)

Run to the lights of the city

These moments pass and we'll be there

(And she looks good)

Run to the lights of the city

(And she looks good)

This dance will last us forever

Forever

This dance will last us forever

This dance will last us forever
