IS
THIS LOVE
(Bob
Marley)
I
wanna love you, and treat you right
I
wanna love you every day and every night
We'll
be together with a roofright over our heads
we'll
share the shelter of my single bed
we'll
share the same room, Jah provide the bread.
Is
this love, is this love, is this love
is
this love that I'm feeling
Is
this love, is this love, is this love
is
this love that I'm feeling
I
wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now
I
got to know, got to know, got to know now.
I'm
willing and able
so
I throw my cards on your table.
I wanna
love you, and treat you right
I
wanna love you every day and every night
We'll
be together with a roofright over our heads
we'll
share the shelter of my single bed
we'll
share the same room, Jah provide the bread.
Is
this love, is this love, is this love
is
this love that I'm feeling
Is
this love, is this love, is this love
is
this love that I'm feeling
oh
yes I know now, yes I know, yes I know now.
I'm
willing and able... |
TIME
(Tom
Waits)
Well,
the smart money's on Harlow
And
the moon is in the street
The
shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And
you're east of East St. Louis
And
the wind is making speeches
And
the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon
is weeping in the Carnival saloon
His
invisible fiancé is in the mirror
The
band is going home
It's
raining hammers, it's raining nails
Yes,
it's true, there's nothing left for him down here.
And
it's time time time
And
it's time time time
And
it's time time time
That
you love
And
it's time time time
And
they all pretend they're Orphans
And
their memory's like a train
You
can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And
the things you can't remember
Tell
the things you can't forget that
History
puts a saint in every dream.
Well
she said she'd stick around
Until
the bandages came off
But
these mamas boys just don't know when to quit
And
Matilda ask the sailors are those dreams
Or
are those prayers
So
just close your eyes, son
And
this won't hurt a bit.
And
it's time time time...
Well,
things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The
boys just dive right off the cars
And
splash into the street
And
when she's on a roll she pulls a razor
From
her boot and a thousand
Pigeons
fall around her feet
So
put a candle in the window
And
a kiss upon his lips
Till
the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just
like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And
pay the fiddler off till I come back again.
And
it's time time time... |
RAIN
DOGS
(Tom
Waits)
Inside
a broken clock
Splashing
the wine
With
all the rain dogs
Taxi,
we'd rather walk
Huddle
a doorway
With
the rain dogs
For
I am a rain dog too
Oh
how we danced
And
we swallowed the night
For
it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh
how we danced away all of the lights
We've
always been out of our minds
The
rum pours strong and thin
Beat
out the dustman
With
the rain dogs
Aboard
a shipwreck train
Give
my umbrella
To
the rain dogs
For
I am a rain dog too
Oh
how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
Her
long hair black as a raven
Oh
how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll
never be going back home. |
DOWNTOWN
TRAIN
(Tom
Waits)
Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nightime,
yes
I climb through the window
and down the street
Shining like a new dime
The downtown train are full
With all those Brooklyn
girls
They try so hard to break
out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they
scatter like crows
They have nothing that will
ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without
the rose
Be careful of them in the
dark
Oh if I was the one
You chose to be your only
one
Oh baby can't you hear me
now
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every night its just the
same
You leave me lonely, now.
I know your window and I
know its late
I know your stairs and your
doorway
I walke down your street
and past your gate
I stand by the light at
the four way
You watch them as they fall
They all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you
back
Will I see you tonight...
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All of my dreams just fall
like rain
All upon a downtown train. |
