Oh My Lover

Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright
You can love her
You can love me at the same time
Much to discover
I know you don't have the time but
Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright

Oh my sweet thing
Oh my honey thighs
Give me your troubles
I'll keep them with mine
Take at your leisure
Take whatever you can find but
Oh my sweet thing
Don't you know it's alright

It's alright
It's alright
There's no time
So it's alright

What's that colour
Forming around your eyes
Waltz my lover
Tell me that it's all right
Just another
Before you go, go away
Oh my lover
Why don't you just say my name

And it's alright
Say it's alright
There's no time

O Stella

O Stella Maris you're my star
Stand on ground look up at her
Just hanging in the gold stones
Just hanging there face froze
But I think I see her smiling
Gold
O Stella Maris you're my star
In your blue blue tavern you light my lantern
O Stella's large
Pink on her face glowing this place
A place for heroes only
Gold
O Stella Maris you're my star
Pin you to my chest
Sell you to the rest
Wish as I kiss her gown
Send those angels down to woo me now
I think I see her smiling
Gold

No Child of Mine (with Marianne Faithfull)

You are my child
And how you've grown
But there are things
That you must learn
That everyman
Must stand alone
And family
You must disown

Go on, find your own way
Go on, find your own way
Go on, find your own way
Go on, find your own way

Don't cry my child
You must know
That everyman
I've ever loved
Has been a child
And fatherless
Trust in yourself
It's all that you can trust

Go on, find your own way
Go on, find your own way
Go on, find your own way
Go on, find your own way

I have no time for hate or love
Hey child, you're so full of woe
I have no time for hate or lying
Hey child, you're no child of mine

No Child of Mine

I have no time for hate or love
Hey child, you're so full of woe
I have no time for hate or lying
Hey child, you're no child of mine

Nina In Ecstasy

I'm Nina
I feel love
I'll be safe
I'll be yours
Ever more
I'll be safe

Mama

Once Nina
Was a young girl
Now she's dead
Grew older
Grew colder and
Lost her way

Mama

Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone?
Where's Your mama gone?
Far, far away
Far, far away

Nickel Under The Foot

Maybe you wonder what it is
Makes people good or bad
Why some guy, an ace without a doubt
Turns out to be a bastard
And the other way about

I'll tell you what I feel
It's just the nickel under the heel
Oh you can live like hearts and flowers
And everyday is a wonderland tour
Oh you can dream and scheme and happily put
And take, take and put
But first be sure
That nickel's under your foot

Go stand on someone's neck while you take him
Cut into somebody's throat as you put
For every dream and scheme, depending on whether
All through the storm
You've kept it warm
That nickel under your foot

And if you're sweet then you'll grow rotten
Your pretty heart covered over with soot
And if for once you're gay and devil-may-care-less
And oh so hot
I'll know you've got
That nickel under your foot

Naked Cousin

My naked cousin
I see him running
All over headland
Scared as a chic-a-chicken and

His naked skin fries
Fries in the sun, but my
My naked cousin can
Cook till he's good, good and done

I hate his smell and
I hate his company but
But most of all I hate that
He looks just-a-just like me

His naked skin fries
Fries in the sun, but my
My naked cousin can
Cook till he's good, good and done

He's running
He's running
He's running
He's running

He run from burning bushes
He run from bank of senate
He run from everything that
Upsets his master plan and

And if he flips then I am
As good as done, but my
My naked cousin, I know
He'll just keep running

He's running
He's running
He's running
He's running

Running naked through the trees
Scared the shit right out of me
Bought my ticket, take my ride
Take me to the sunny side
Running naked through the trees
Scared the shit right out of me
Bought my ticket, take my ride
Begging of you please please please
Please please please (he's running)
Please please please (he's running)
Please please please (he's running)

My own private revolution

Fate has always, one might say
Driven me from place to place
Love on the stage, love on the stage
Up and carried me away

I have pursued my dream
All across the sky, all across the soil
And left my joyous town
When I was young, I watched it from my door
With the eyes of a child that seemed so clear

My own private revolution
My own private revolution
In my own private revolution
My own private revolution

Over the town, we fly out
Lovers embracing outside the golden gates
Love on the stage, love on the stage
Nor must we endure any separation

Over the town (revolution)
We fly out (my own private revolution)
Over the city (made my own private revolution) (revolving)
We fly out (my own private revolution) (revolving)

I have found, purity
Simplicity, inside the face of children
The voice of divinity
In my own private revolution

Over the town (my own private revolution)
Over the city (made my own private revolution) (revolving)
I will keep you, tempt me, must be heaven sent (my own private revolution) (revolving)
(with my own private revolution) (revolving)

My friends have

My friends have many features
Many reasons, I can believe them
My friends have many things that
I am needing, to keep me singing

Yeah, you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine
Yeah, you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine

My friends have many mountains,
Many mountains that I can breathe in
My friends have many houses,
Many caves that I can choose to live in

Yeah, you're a friend of mine
I love these friends of mine
Yeah, you're a friend for life
I love these friends of mine

My friends have many pathways,
Many roads that I can choose to take
My friends have many highways,
Where I can find my way back home again

Yeah, you're a friend of mine
I love these friends of mine
Yeah, you're a friend for life

My friends have always been there,
To help me shape my crooked features
My friends have picked me up again,
And pushed my enemies out of the picture

Yeah, you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine
Yeah, you're a friend of mine
You're a friend for life

I love these friends of mine
I love these friends of mine
You're a friend of mine
I love these friends of mine

My beautiful Leah

Did you see her walking?
Did she come around here, Sir?
Black hair, brown eyes
My beautiful Leah
She was always so needing
Said, "I have no-one"
Even as I held her
She went out looking for someone
She only had nightmares,
And her sadness never lifted
And slowly over the years
Her lovely face twisted
Did she come around here, Sir?
I swear you would remember
Black hair, Brown eyes
Late September
October
November
December
It never leaves my mind
The last words she said
"If I don't find it this time,
Then I'm better off dead".

Missed

He should not be hid
He's just too big
In a cloud
Please come down
I'd put stars
At your feet
Put mars
At your head
Show yourself to me
And I'd believe
I'd moan
And I'd weep
Fall silent
At your speak
I'd burst it
Full to the brim
Mary lost her head
And let it bleed
Came crying
Back to me
My son
Where's he 'bin?
Don't deny it
Don't you hide him
No
I've missed him
No word
No sign
Mary say
I'm not lying
How come
He's so big
But good lord
He's been hid
Good lord
Where you hid
And
I've missed him

Memphis

You're breathing in my mouth
I'll take it, I'll take it for you
You wanna sing
Then sing it through me
You've got something left to say

Untimely, you were taking away
Unlikely, out if turn
When you still got so much to say
Well I'll write it, a song for you

But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
I'm with you
I'm singing

You said there's a special place
And it's scaring the shit out of me
In Memphis on Valentines Day
You wrote it in a letter to me
Well I wish I had given you more time
To say thank you, my beautiful friend
But sometimes you gotta send it away
To bring it, to bring it back again

But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
I'm with you
I'm singing

You'll always have open eyes
You'll always have a special place
In Memphis on Valentines Day
Die suddenly at a wonderful age
Though were you ready, were you ready to go?
When you still got so much to say
Somehow I know you're drowning slow
Receiving just everything

But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
I'm know that
You're smiling

You're peaceful
You're smiling
