1. BACK HOME

Goin' back right through the city
Through the country, rivers so pretty
People wonder why I'm going back home
Just the place where I belong

Back home, back home,
Back home, back home

Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home

'Round and 'round, the world goes 'round
Got my friends in every town
From border to border, every place I've been
I've gotta be back if you know what I mean

Back home, back home,
Back home, back home

Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home


2. STAND BY ME

I don't care if you need more lovin'
More than I can give you everyday
I don't mind if you sleep all over town
If you only care for me,
Than I don't have to say

Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

I don't mind if you need more money
Go out with friends and dance all night
And give your body when you're stoned and wasted
When you're with me, I want you on my side

Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

I don't care if you drive my car
And go ridin' with some rock 'n roll star
You wanna make love and you tell him you're free
But when we're together, please stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me


3. BORN A SECOND TIME

When I was born a second time
There was no one who I could find who cared
Mother said my boy where have you been
My father was a man I’ve never seen .. and you

Stars where shining up above
I started to believe in love again
I want know what made me feel so shy
Words I should say died away when I saw you

Being in the situation thinking of a new relationship
Makes me feel that I'm no longer me
I'm sure enough the one I used to be it's you
Misty clouds around my head
I can't remember what you said to me
Born a second time is not enough
As long as it's not me you're thinking


4. BIG TREE BLUE SEA

Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with wine and dirt
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

Paper castles, filled with words
Limbo policemen please the herd
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

I'm sun, I'm warm, I'm child of the moon
Even when it's dark, I'll send the dune
Can't you hear there's fishermen laughing
The whale dips down, I hear him crying for me
I'm shade, I'm good, I'm beams in June
Even when it's dark, I'll light your room
Don't you know the clown has feelings
Talking revolution, secret meetings, who's free
Who's free, free

Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with blood and dirt
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea


5. THE SAD STORY OF SAM STONE

Look at Sam Stone boy, he's so great
Sock it, funky - groovy - uh, it's all up to date
He'd never get tired, he's always on the run
No one makes him cry, he's always having fun

Then one day someone stepped on his toes
It was pretty chick, that's the way it goes
A beautiful honey, and mad about money
Of course he just believed what she said
He gave her all the things that he had

Look at Sam Stone, boy there he goes
Used to dance around on the tip of his toes
But now it's all over, even walking hurts his bones
But girls don't you worry, there'll be other Sam Stone's


6. THE WALL OF DOLLS

This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end

Frozen smiles and frowns
Lives of ups and downs
Aren't you, aren't we all
Part of the wall of dolls

Listen to the puppet clown
His tales might bring you down
Hang the dwarfs and trolls
Hang on the wall of dolls

This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end


7. BUDDY JOE

Let me tell you about Buddy Joe
When he came down from Mexico
With his pockets full of gold
With his pockets full of gold

Have you something to declare
Are you sure there's nothing there
'Cos if there is, don't say
You've not been told

Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
Well, I don't really know

Well Buddy Joe searched all his life
Through Mexico, all the riversides
Not for the money, but for the gold
He needs to hold

Well Buddy Joe was proud as he was
Could not stand all the fuss
When they got to all his gold
He was ready to go

Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know

Well you'll understand he didn't stand a chance
Everybody was shouting commands
When Buddy Joe split in a hurry
He was ready to be buried

Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know


8. RADAR LOVE

I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need a phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air,
Radar Love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort,
Comin' in from above
Don't need a letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky,
Radar Love

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called,
Radar Love


9. ONE HUGE ROAD

Sunshine, I'm late back and happy
I wish I could stay here forever
When the sun's gone
I just can't be lazy
Movin' on, to see my baby
So I pack my things and I'm going
The highway, going on my way

Gotta move on, the road is much too long, too long
One huge road for one, one huge road for one


10. GOD BLESS THE DAY

In the morning dawn
When it's not all clear
All you can hear is the silence
Of a fairy-like noise far away

In the morning dawn
When it's not all clean
All you have seen is the burying
Of a fairy-like bright early day

The Lord will bless this day
And our food
And the weapons of the enemy in the neighbourhood
The Lord will bless the victory
Of every fool
With a gun, thinkin' he can change the rule

God bless the day, God bless the day
God bless the day, God bless the day

Like one says
He will bless
And we will wait
For what He'll create


11. LANDING

When daylight and nighttime feel the same
It's time for your mind to play a game
Close all your eyes and touch the air
Reach for a hand that must be there
You know how it fools you
And you know how it is
To be one of those people
Who don't know what they miss
You can hide away from reality
And escape

Yesterday I felt it
And the first thing I thought
Never let go
I held it as close as I could
When it didn't grow like it should
And then, after hours, I opened my head
I found myself back on the floor near my bed
Nothing has changed, it was all the same again
The same again

When daylight and nighttime feel the same
It's time for your mind to play a game
Close all your eyes and touch the air
Reach for a hand that must be there
You know how it fools you
And you know how it is
To be one of those people
Who don't know what they miss
You can hide away from reality
But you can't escape


12. YELLOW AND BLUE

When I wake up early in the morning
And sometimes I really do
Then you get up and you do some yawning
That's nothing new
But then, you know I wonder
If the morning couldn't open his eyes
No reflections from the sun in the window
Nothing to blow your mind

Morning light, oh morning sun
'Cross my calendar
Morning light, oh morning sun
Every new day I will remember

I'm glad you're still there
Even though many don't care
Colours from you
Make you feel that all is new
Yellow and blue
Are reflections in water and dew
And more of that all in the morning
In the morning
Yellow and blue
Are reflections in water and dew
