Lindisfarne : Untapped and Acoustic
Les paroles
1. NO TIME TO LOSE
I want to go travelling in your car, leave all the city behind
Up on the motorway Scotland's not far, see what we can find.
No time, no time to lose
No time, no time to lose
Had more than my share of people giving advice, on the way that my life should be
But look at the country man it's looking so nice, it's feeling so good to be free.
No time, no time to lose
No time, no time to lose
Man how I love all those wild rolling hills, I can feel them inside of my loves,
The colours all changing I swear it's amazing, I feel like I'm flying back home.
No time, no time to lose
No time, no time to lose
No time, no time to lose
No time, no time to lose

4. UNCLE SAM
The word of mouth has reached my ears
We just became volunteers
I can't picture you in uniform
Your heart is much too frail
You're better off in jail
They asked us both to join their gang
Said "Could it be you'd rather hang?"
Don't want you to die for me
Why should I for you?
Hope you see it too
Well, I'm going across the border
Watch what happens to me
Well, I'm going across the border
Watch what happens to me
With my name on the blacklist
I can find a new place to be
And if they still come looking
On the road is where I'll be
And if they still come looking
On the road is where I'll be
5. 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.

7. SCOTCH MIST / BRING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT
(Instrumental)
BRING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT
Bring down the government, bring it to its heel
Sure it a hoot when they prosecute you for doing what you feel.
Bring down the government, bring it to its knees,
If you want your rights you're gonna have to fight,
So bring down the government please.
Bring down the government, bring it down for fun
God only knows they've had their time, it's about time it was done.
So bring down the government, get them on the run,
We'll bake their heads to ginger bread,
And eat them one by one.
Bring down the government, do it now for love,
Do it for your mother and sister too and do for God above.
So roll on my brothers we can find out how,
To walk hand in hand to the promised land,
If we bring down the government now.
Bring down the government now
Bring down the government now
Bring down the government now
8. CALL OF THE WILD
May the road you ride be kind
May all your troubles stay behind
May you find what you are looking for
And may the good wolf never go blind.
Wooo !
Let the four wild gale winds roar
Let winter howl some more
I will hold you close and comfort you
And keep the bad wolf from the door.
Think I've passed this way before
Many moons ago or more
And I loved you then and I always will
Keep the bad wolf from the door.
Out in the wild, a frightened little child
Calls for peace of mind.
Every bridge has to be spanned
Every helping must have a hand
Every man is born a wilderness
And the wild wolf understands.
Out in the wild, a frightened little child
Calls for peace of mind.
May the road you ride be kind
May all your troubles stay behind
May you find what you are looking for
And may the good wolf never go blind.
9. PASSING GHOSTS
You can sleep with me
Who'll sleep with we
We'll sleep together
You don't have to watch the dawn
But you can if you want
And he can sleep with her
Who'll sleep with we
We'll sleep together
You don't have to touch the rain
And you don't have to talk about the weather
'Cos it's only passing time
Well, it's only passing time
Well, it's only passing a little bit of time
And when my time has come
My call has time
To come together
And if my grave is really still
I won't need to talk about the weather
'Cos it's only passing time
Well, it's only passing time
Well, it's only passing a little bit of time
10. UNITED STATES OF MIND
(No lyrics available)
11. 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
12. 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
13. DINGLE REGATTA
(Instrumental)
14. WE CAN SWING TOGETHER
No-one came to criticise, no-one to complain,
Just to pass a little bit of time, play some human games.
Some were smoking 'roll your owns', while others they had none,
Ev'rybody was holding hands, and singing this little song.
[Chorus]
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right.
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night.
Then when things were happening, around about ten to four,
There was a screeching of brakes, dogs barking outside, and a hammering on the door.
Then the voice of officialdom, saying 'Open in the name of the law',
But we just kept on holding hands, and singing this song some more.
[Chorus]
Then they broke down all the doors, and kicked the windows in,
They let their doggies off the leads, and they ransacked everything.
They stood us all against the wall, their faces split with grins,
And then they linked each others' handcuffs and they merrily began to sing.
[Chorus]
They took us to see the County Judge, with a wig-hat on his head,
He heard our case with a smile on his face, and this is what he said:
I'll have to send you all to jail, for doing this terrible thing.
And as I walked down to the cells, I swear I heard him sing.
[Chorus](x6)
15. CLEAR WHITE LIGHT
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

(No lyrics available)
17. COURT IN THE ACT (2ND EDITION ONLY)
Got the summons served on a Sunday, see what I done
Couldn't see much sense in the charges, but they sure sounded like fun.
So I went downtown to a Bow Street, to see the company man,
'Hey boy your in a heap of trouble, but i'll do everything that I can'.
But the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact (man that's a fact)
And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
You shouldn't let yourself never get caught in the act.
Sorry for the damage i've done, try to pay it back
The only crime I ever committed was being caught in the act.
So the next time that you feel good don't forget the fact
There's a man in blue and he wants you to be, be caught in the act.
And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact (man that's a fact)
And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
Hope that you never get caught in the act.
And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact (man that's a fact)
And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
Hope that you never get caught in the act.
Hope that you never get caught in the act.
