(Erinnerung An Die Marie A.) It was a day in that blue month September Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade I held her there My love, so pale and silent As if she were a dream that must not fade Above us in the shining summer heaven There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon It was quite white and very high above us Then I looked up And found that it had gone And since that day, so many moons in silence Have swum across the sky and gone below The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood And if you ask, how does that love seem now I must admit, I really can't remember And yet I know what you are trying to say But what her face was like, I know no longer I only know I kissed it on that day As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it But for the cloud that floated in the sky I know that still and shall forever know it It was quite white and moved in very high It may be that the plum trees still are blooming That woman's seventh child may now be there And yet that cloud had only bloomed for minutes When I looked up It vanished on the air Repetition Johnny is a man And he's bigger than you But his overheads are high And he looks straight through when you ask him how the kids are He'll get home around seven 'Cause the chevy's real old And he could have had a cadillac If the school had taught him right And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse And the food is on the table But the food is cold Don't hit her "Can't you even cook? What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?"

Cause they're earning me lots of money Writing comedy prose for radio shows It's the-er (what?) It's the Gnome service of course Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me" Ha ha ha, oh, dear me (Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me" Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me") (One more time, yeah) The London Boys Cow bell strikes another night Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache You've bought some coffee, butter and bread You can't make a thing cause the meter's dead You moved away Hold your folks you're gonna stay away Bright lights, Soho, Wardour street You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet Somebody shows you round Now you've met the London boys Things seem good again, someone cares about you Oh, the first time that you tried a pill You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose faith To let yourself down would be a big disgrace With the London boys, with the London boys You're only seventeen, but you think you've grown In the month you've been away from your parents' home You take the pills too much You don't give a damn about that jobs you've got So long as you're with the London boys A London boy, oh a London boy Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy A London boy, a London boy You're crying out loud that you're a London boy You think you've had a lot of fun But you ain't got nothing, you're on the run It's too late now, cause you're out there boy You've got it made with the rest of the toys Now you wish you'd never left your home You've got what you wanted but you're on your own With the London boys Now you've met the London boys (3 times) The Man Who Sold The World We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you died alone, a long long time ago Oh no, not me I never lost control You're face to face With The Man Who Sold The World I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here We must have died along, a long long time ago Who knows? not me We never lost control You're face to face With the Man who Sold the World The Motel For we're living in a safety zone Don't be holding back from me We're living from hour to hour down here And we'll take it when we can It's a kind of living which recognizes The death of the odourless man When nothing is vanity nothing's too slow It's not Eden but it's no sham There is no hell There is no shame There is no hell Like an old hell There is no hell And it's lights up, boys Lights up boys Explosion falls upon deaf ears While we're swimming in a sea of sham Living in the shadow of vanity A complex fashion for a simple man And there is no hell And there is no shame And there is no hell Like an old hell There is no hell And the silence flies on its brief flight A razor sharp crap shoot affair And we light up our lives And there's no more of me exploding you Re-exposing you Like everybody do Re-exploding you I don't know what to use Make somebody move Me exploding Me exploding you The Mysteries No lyrics for The Mysteries The Passenger I am the passenger And I ride and I ride I ride through the city's backsides I see the stars come Out of the sky Yeah the bright and hollow sky You know it looks So good tonight I am the passenger I stay under glass I look through my Window so bright I see the stars Come out tonight I see the bright And hollow sky Over the city's Ripped backside And everything looks good tonight CHORUS Singing la la la la La-la-la-la La la la la La-la-la-la La la la la La-la-la-la La la Get into the car We'll be the passenger We'll ride through the city tonight We'll see the city's ripped backsides We'll see the bright and Hollow sky We'll see the stars that shine So bright Stars made for us tonight O the passenger How how he rides O the passenger He rides and he rides He looks through his window What does he see He sees the sign and Hollow sky He sees the stars Come out tonight He sees the city's ripped backsides He sees the winding ocean drive And everything was made For you and me All of it was made for You and me - 'cause it Just belongs to you and me So let's take a ride and See what's mine CHORUS O the passenger He rides and he rides He sees things from under glass He looks through his window inside He sees the things he knows are his He sees the bright Hollow sky He sees the city Sleep at night He sees the stars Come out tonight And all of it is yours and mine And all of it is yours and mine So let's ride and ride And ride and ride CHORUS (repeat ad. inf.) The Prettiest Star Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fire You will be my rest and peace child I moved up to take a place near you So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tired It's a trick to make you see wide It can all but break your heat in pieces Staying back in your memory Are the movies in the past How you moved is all it takes To sing a song of when I loved The Prettiest Star One day though it might as well be someday You and I will rise up all the way All because of what you are The Prettiest Star Staying back in your memory Are the movies in the past How you moved is al
