Early every year, seeds are growing Unseen, unheard, they lie beneath the ground Would you know before the leaves are showing That with weeds all your garden will abound?
If you close your eyes, stop your ears Hold your mouth, how can you know? The seeds you cannot see may not be there The seeds you cannot hear may never grow
In January you've still got the choice You can cut the weeds before they start to bud If you leave them to grow higher, they'll silence your voice And in December you may pay with your blood
Close your eyes, stop your ears Close your mouth and take it slow Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear And later you can say you didn't know
Everyday another vulture takes flight There's another danger born every morning In the darkness of your blindness the beast will learn to bite How can you fight if you can't recognize a warning?
Close your eyes, stop your ears Close your mouth and then you know Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear And later you can say you didn't know
Today you may earn a living wage Tomorrow you may be on the dole Though there's millions going hungry, you needn't disengage For it's them, not you, that's fallen in the hole
It's alright for you if you run with the pack It's alright if you agree with all they do If the fascist's party slowly climbing back It's not here yet, so what's it got to do with you?
The weeds are all around us and they're growing It will soon be too late for the knife If you leave them on the wind that around the world is blowing You may pay for your silence with your life
Close your eyes, stop your ears Close your mouth, they're never there And if it happens here, they'll never come for you Because they'll know you really didn't care
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started. They could still get him out of office. But instead, they want mass death. Don’t forget that.
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours On Charlotte Street I take a walking stick from my hotel The ghost of Dirty Dick Is still in search of Little Nell It's what it is
And something from the past just comes And stares into my soul
The drinking dens are spilling out There's staggering in the square There's lads and lasses falling about And a crackling in the air Down around the dungeon doors The shelters and the queues Everybody's looking for Somebody's arms to fall into It's what it is It's what it is now There's frost on the graves and the monuments But the taverns are warm in town People curse the government And shovel hot food down Lights are out in the city hall The castle and the keep The moon shines down upon it all The legless and the sleepless Cold on the tollgate With the wagons creeping through Cold on the tollgate God knows what I could do with you It's what it is It's what it is now The Garison sleeps in the citadel With the ghost and the ancient stones High on the parapet A Scottish piper stands alone High on the wind The highland drums begin to roll And something from the past just comes And stares into my soul Cold on the tollgate With the Caledonian Blues Cold on the tollgate God knows what I could do with you It's what it is It's what it is now What it is It's what it is now now There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick There's a lantern in the tower Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick Still writing songs in the wee wee hours On Charlotte Street I take a walking stick from my hotel The ghost of Dirty Dick Is still in search of Little Nell It's what it is It's what it is now Oh what it is What it is now now now
Once I got to the mountain top, tell you what I could see Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity Where the hell was Elijah What do you do when the prophecy game was through We gotta take the walls of Jericho Put your lips together and blow To the very top Say the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock, in the rock Get down Moses, part another sea Carve another tablet out of L.S.D. Get down Moses, out in Tennessee Get down Moses, down in the street The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet Get down Moses, down in the pit Lying in a dream, cross a battlefield Crashing on a downtown strip Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto Who's lecturing who's in the know and in the don't know You better take the walls of Jericho Put your lips together and blow Goin' to the very top Where the truth crystallizes like jewels, in the rock, in the rock Get down Moses, from the eagle aerie You gotta to make new friends out of old enemies Get down Moses, back in Tennessee Get down Moses, down with the dreads They got a lotta reasoning in a dreadhead Get down Moses, down in the street Get down Moses Get down Moses, part another sea Carve another tablet out of L.S.D. Get down Moses, out in Tennessee Get down Moses, down in the street The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet Get down Moses, down in the pit Get down Moses Get down Moses Get down Moses We need to eat We gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth Get down Moses

Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun But, mama, that's where the fun is Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone Preacher from the east Says, "dethrone the Dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone That's where they expect it least"
And go-cart Mozart was checking out the weather chart To see if it was safe outside
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night3 Madman drummers bummers Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps His way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder Feeling kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasing, sneezing and wheezing The calliope crashed to the ground The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister Told me I got what it takes She said "I'll turn you on, Sonny, to something strong Play the song with the funky break" And go-cart Mozart was checking out the weather chart To see if it was safe outside And little early-pearly came by in his Curly-wurly And asked me if I needed a ride Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night Blinded by the light She got down but she never got tired She's gonna make it through the night She's gonna make it through the night But, mama, that's where the fun is But, mama, that's where the fun is Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun But, mama, that's where the fun is Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone Preacher from the east Says, "dethrone the Dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone That's where they expect it least" And some new-mown chaperone was standing in the corner Watching the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone was messing with his frozen zone Reminding him of romance The calliope crashed to the ground
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all
With flames from the dragon of darkness, The sunlight blinds his eyes.
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath, The drums will shake the castle wall
Dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
The Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go, The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes. Side by side we wait the might Of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below, I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness, The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
Oh war is the common cry, Pick up your swords and fly. The sky is filled with good and bad That mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow, Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath, The drums will shake the castle wall, The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow, Shoot straighter than before. No comfort has the fire at night That lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by, With flames from the dragon of darkness, The sunlight blinds his eyes.

I've got murder in my heart for the judge I've got murder in my heart for the judge Well that bad old judge wouldn't budge I've got murder in my heart for the judge
Walked into the courtroom, Know this was gonna bring me down And that big fat bald representative of justice And the prosecutor began to frown I'm sorry, sorry for the things I've done I sure want to change my evil ways And the judge looked down at me and said For getting smart boy, gonna give you More than a lifetime
Murder in my heart for the judge I've got murder in my heart for the judge Well that mean old judge wouldn't budge I've got murder in my heart for the judge...........

I wish I would've met you; now it's a little late. What you could've taught me, I could've saved some face. They think that your early ending was all wrong; for the most part they're right, but look how they all got strung.
That's why I say, "Hey man, nice shot." "What a good shot, man." 2x
Hey man, nice gun - Hey man, have fun. Nice shot!
Now that the smokes gone, and the air is all clear: those who were right there had a new kind of fear. You'd fight and you were right - but, they were just too strong. They'd stick it in your face and let you smell what they consider wrong.
That's why I say "Hey man, nice shot." "...a good shot, man." That's why I say "Hey man, nice shot." "...what a good shot, man."
Hey man nice gun - Hey man, have fun. 2x Oh, nice shot man! 2x
Oh, I wish I would've met you. I wish I would've met you, oh. I wish I would've met you, oh. I wish I would've met you, I'd say, "Nice shot."
