THANKS
03:45
|
|||
people ask me "is there some
body watching over us?
do we all go home when we die
and is there love?"
well there are many theories out there,
believe one of them if you must
i don't know for sure but i am not scared
to cause a fuss
so i tell em i thank god
i tell em i thank god
you know that i thank god for my reason
you know that i thank god
and when i thank god
well i thank god for The Beatles.
now everyone who's born will die
who is excluded? surely not i!
so i cannot tell you who is right,
buddha or jesus,
but they both seem like real cool guys
and i'll bet they would not think twice
if i chose to make up my own mind
and use my freedom
so i'm free to thank god
i'm free to thank god
you know that i thank god for my reason
and you know that i thank god
cause when i thank god
you know that i thank god for The Beatles.
well i thank god for The Beatles
well i thank god for The
thank god for The
i thank god for The Beatles.

One Night I Found God
05:08
|
|||
one night i found god in my room all alone.
i said "oh my god!" and i shook in my bones.
since then i've been calm, waiting for to go home
to my "oh my god" when this life it is done.
i've been in love two of three times at the most.
suspicious of love, could it all be a hoax?
am i a dumb girl in my room in the light
concocting a love so i can't feel the night?
i like to crack smiles and i like to have fun,
but two of my friends died at the edge of a gun.
have i forgotten how it felt to be stunned?
may it remain in my heart at the bottom.
i've wanted to die as long as i can recall.
good thing that i never let the knife fall.
i wouldn't have known all the joy i do now,
joy to be alive, joy that cannot be bound.
i want to sing out to the sky, to the clouds.
i want to sing loud, make a thundering sound.
but one day my sweet voice will be deep underground.
no one of god's gifts may we keep once we've found.
if i could give advice so that people could hear,
i would say "think twice before allowing fear
to creep into your mind and to color your life.
an action done in fear, it can never be right."
one night i found god in my room all alone.
i said "oh my god!" and i shook in my bones.
since then i've been calm, waiting for to go home
to my "oh my god" when this life it is done.

Dead Girl
04:48
|
|||
what can i say when i'm rotting?
got no face, aint got no body.
i'm the dead girl at the party
saying "hey".
may my voice live longer than me,
may my songs reach people plenty.
now i'm only three and twenty
years of age.
may this find you in the ocean
of your dreams where you are floatin.
when the tide comes, row your boat in,
watch the waves
don't be sad that i've gone missing,
me and jesus are french kissing!
life is blessing, death is blissing,
it's okay
it's okay
it's okay
it's okay: it's always been this way.
think not of the end of days,
remember the beginning, hey,
we made it here as small bebes,
now aint that strange?
you've lived more than once or twice,
it's been forever, it's been nice.
you try to tell yourself through christ
and burning sage.
you're in prison, here's the secret:
there's a key and guess who keeps it,
there's a wall and you can leap out
of the cage.
there's no time, it's all one moment.
go outside and ask the stone and
ask the air to ask the water
in the lake.
she will say
she will say
she will say
"it's always been this way"
it's always been this way.
what can i say when i'm rotting?
got no face, ain't got no body,
i'm the dead girl at the party
saying "hey"

As I Roved Out
03:46
|
|||
as i roved out on a bright may morning
to view the meadows and flowers gay
whom should i spy but my own true lover
as she sat under yon willow tree
i took off my hat and i did salute her
i did salute her most courageously
when she turned around well the tears fell from her
saying "false young man you have deluded me"
a diamond ring i owned i gave you
a diamond ring to wear on your right hand
but the vows you made love, you went and broke them
and married the lassie that had the land
if i married the lassie that had the land, my love
it's that i'll rue till the day i die
when misfortune falls sure no man can shun it
i was blindfolded i'll ne'er deny
now at nights when i go to my bed of slumber
the thoughts of my true love run in my mind
when i turn around to embrace my darling
instead of gold sure tis brass i find
and i wish the queen would call home her army
from the west indies, amerikay, and spain
and every man to his wedded woman
in hopes that you and i will meet again

oh my love i cant stand to be without you
oh my love i cant stand to be alone
oh the silence began when you left this morning
and it grows and it grows and it grows and grows
dont go yet we never went to the river
dont go yet we never went to the woods
oh my love we never saw the big dipper
dont go yet we still have time we still could
