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
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
in my own dreams......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrpjD20bIyA I didn't know.
I was such a fool.
And it took me a long time,
Just to find out,
That my head,
Is upside down.
What I was standing on,
You know, it wasn't too solid ground, oh no.
To satisfy, (Chorus: To satisfy)
What I thought I'd be, (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)
I kept on living, ooo, yeah, (Chorus: I kept on living)
In my own dreams. (Chorus: In my own dream)
And everyday, (Chorus: Everyday)
I grew blinder. (Chorus: Everday)
Thought I was so strong, (Chorus: So much stronger)
I didn't need nobody's help.
Oh, the strongest river, (Chorus: Oooo)
Can't flow up hill, wo, no.
To satisfy, (Chorus: To satisfy, oh yeah)
What I thought I'd be, oo, yeah (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)
I kept on living, (Chorus: I kept on living)
In my own dream. (Chorus: In my own dream)
You know, the tides of love, yeah
Are so strong.
You know, it carried me back
And showed me my wrong, yeah, ooo.
To satisfy (Chorus: To satisfy)
Yeah, what I thought I'd be (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)
I kept on living, oo, yeah (Chorus: I kept on living)
In my own dream. (Chorus: In my own dream)
Now, everyday (Chorus: Everyday)
I grew blinder (Chorus: Everyday)
Thought I was strong (Chorus: So much stronger)
I didn't need nobody. (Chorus: Ooooo)
But the strongest river
Can't flow uphill, oh no
To satisfy, ooo (Chorus: To satisfy)
What I thought I'd be (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)
I see a bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
Don't go 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hope you got your things together
I hope…
Oh don't go 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise....

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.
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."
