Lindisfarne : Another Fine Mess
Тексты песен
1. CLEAR WHITE LIGHT (PART 2)
Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on?
Running along the ground singing a song in the morning light
Follow flowery fields as far as out of sight
Turning your head to the clouds and the skies and the trees
'Cause you never know what you might see.
Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
The way?
Seeing the sun as it wants to be seen by ev'ryone
Melting the sky throw a hole in your eye where the magic comes
Turning your heads to the skies with the clouds in your eyes
'Cause you never know what you might find
Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
The way?
Now is the time to be loving and kind to your fellow men
Seeing the sympathy starting out all over again
Now is the time to give love just one more go
'Cause you never know what you might know
And I believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
Yes I believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
2. SQUIRE
Call me the Squire 'cause that's what I am
A high flying flier, a high flying man
Like a seagull on the wing heading for the sun
I swear I mean no harm to you or anyone.
But the man who knocks upon my door ain't smiling
He's the law and, Lord, won’t be so reconciling
To a brain who walks along a one way lane
A Property and wealth is what's required
So call me the Squire.
Call me the Squire and take off your hat
Don't call me no liar 'til you've called yourself that
You know I've hopped along the road from the dole queue to the top
It's a fool who says he knows what is real and what is not.
But the man who knocks upon my door ain't smiling
He's the law and, Lord, won’t be so reconciling
To a brain who walks along a one way lane
A Property and wealth is what's required
So call me the Squire, call me the Squire.
3. LADY ELEANOR
Banshee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw
Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more
Then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor
She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread
I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am
She gazed with loving beauty like a mother to a son
Like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones
The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am
Then creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher
I heard a voice above the rest screaming 'You're a liar'
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right here in your arms
4. MEET ME ON THE CORNER
Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been?
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me?
You won't have met me, and you'll soon forget me
So don't mind me tugging at your sleeve.
I'm asking you if I can fix a rendezvous.
For your dreams are all I believe
Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share
Lay down your bundles of rags and reminders
And spread your wares on the ground
Well I've got time, if you deal in rhyme
I'm just hanging around
Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share
Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been?
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me?
5. EVENING
In the evening, that's when I miss her
When the moon smiles down like a sister
And the time crawls by like a wounded fly
Oh, I don't know why, I just miss her.
In the morning, that's when I need her
To cook my breakfast, she got to feed me
But the sun shines on like she's never been gone
I don't know why, I just need her.
Easy, you know it ain't easy
You know it's so hard to carry on
Through the day when you know
Evening's on her way.
Easy, you know it ain't easy
You know it's so hard to carry on
Through the day when you know
Evening's on her way.
In the evening, that's when I miss her
When the moon smiles down like a sister
And the time crawls by like a wounded fly
I don't know why, I miss her.
6. CITY SONG
City streets I see your lies
I will not play your game
No longer will you talk to me
You think I'm going insane
But I forgot my number
Now I'm remembering my name
I've been too long travelling on your train
You tried your best to strangle me
But I could take the pain
You tried to hypnotize me
But I seed right through your game
And now your tatty tricks to me
Are really rather tame
I've been too long travelling on your train
City lights don't shine
They glare
And your music doesn't speak
It swears
And in your streets
The girls have forgotten why they're there
Some day soon I know I'm going
Miles and miles away
Back to the garden where the magic children play
And to the country lady
Who knows more than I can say
Whose nights shine brighter than your day
And your city lights don't shine
They glare
And your music doesn't speak
It swears
And in your streets
The girls have forgotten why they're there
7. ONE WORLD
Baby let me take you by the hand
Show you something for to see.
When you grown I know you understand.
One sky, one sea, one world will be.
Know you growing in a broken world
The future spread its wings so wide.
Don't giving the tide is on the turn.
One land, one home, one world will come.
[Chorus]
One world will be, one world is free, one world will surely come
'Cause if the men in grey, never get their way
For certain we'll have none.
One sky, one sea, one world will be.
[Chorus]
Oh, let me walking thru the promised land.
Feel the wind in the air.
All is changing like the ship in sand.
One sky, one home, one world will be
One land, one home, one world will com
One sky, one home, one world will be
One land, one home, one world will come
8. ALL FALL DOWN
Councilors, magistrates, men of renown,
Who needs to live in a dirty old town.
Yes, go on, tear it down.
Who need the trees and the flowers to grow,
We can have a motorway with motorway dough,
I know I know I know, they've got to go.
Tear them down, mess them round,
Make a mockery of all of the ground,
And if you ever have a sleepless night,
Just count out your money, it'll be all right.
Politicians, planners go, look what you done,
Your madness is making a machine of ev'ryone,
But one day the machine might turn on.
We'll tear you down, mess you round,
And bury you deep under the ground,
And we'll dance on your graves till the flowers return
And the trees tell us secrets that took ages to learn,
We'll tear you down, mess you round,
Bury you deep under the ground,
And we'll dance on your graves till the flowers return
And the trees tell us secrets that took ages to learn,
We'll tear you down.
9. WINTER SONG
When winter's shadowy fingers
First pursue you down the street
And your boots no longer lie
About the cold around your feet
Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete?
Whose memories lie in ruins
And whose ruins lie in heat?
When winter...
Comes howling in
When the wind is singing strangely
Blowing music through your head
And your rain splattered windows
Make you decide to stay in bed
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead?
Or do you pull the bed-clothes higher
Dream of summertime instead?
When winter...
Comes howling in
The creeping cold has fingers
That caress without permission
And mystic crystal snowdrops
Only aggravate the condition
Do you spare one thought for the gypsy with no secure position?
Who's turned and spurned by village and town
At the magistrate's decision?
When winter...
Comes howling in
When the turkey's in the oven
And the Christmas presents are bought
And Santa's in his module
He's an American astronaut
Do you spare one thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts?
Who got busted just for talking
And befriending the wrong sorts?
When winter...
Comes howling in
When winter...
Comes...
Howling...
In
10. THIS HEART OF MINE
(No lyrics available)
11. WE CAN MAKE IT
(No lyrics available)
12. ROAD TO KINGDOM COME
I have no one to call my friend
The road I travel has no end
And so I turn my face up to the sun
And walk on down the road to kingdom come
And as I walk this lonely road
Nobody helps me bear my load
Can somebody tell me what it is I've done
Condemned to walk the road to kingdom come
And if you pass me on the side
Why don't you stop and let me ride
You just had a better deal my son
Walking down the road to kingdom come
And if you pass this way someday
And you should find I've gone my way
There'll always be some poor boy on the bum
Walking down the road to kingdom come
Walking down the road to kingdom come
13. MONEY
(No lyrics available)
14. RUN FOR HOME
I've travelled the land with a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I've made some mistakes, had my share of the breaks
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum.
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.
I've seen all the frowns on the faces of the clowns
And the downs that they take just to be free
I've seen all the girls in their pretty frocks and curls
But they don't mean a lot to me.
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.
I've been to the places in town where the faces
Hang 'round just to stare at each other
I've looned with them, scream at the moon
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered.
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.
I've travelled the land, made mistakes out of hand
Seen the faces in the places misunderstand
Yes, I've travelled the world, seen the pretty boys and girls
Heard the noise that destroys and commands.
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.
15. FOG ON THE TYNE
Sittin' in a sleazy snack-bar suckin'
Sickly sausage rolls
Slippin' down slowly
Slippin' down sideways
Think I'll sign off the dole
[Chorus]
'Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine, all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine, all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine
Could a copper catch a crooked coffin maker
Could a copper comprehend
That a crooked coffin maker is just an undertaker who
undertakes to be a friend
[Chorus]
Tell the truth tomorrow
Today will take it's time to
Tell you what tonight will bring,
Presently we'll have a pint or two together
Everybody do their thing
We can swing together
We can have a wee wee
We can have a wet on the wall
If someone slips a whisper
That his simple sister slapped them down
And they slavered on their smalls
[Chorus](x2)
