KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE:
I was
told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Tried to grow a little wiser, little better
every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million
miles
Then I'd still be where I started, bread and butter for a
smile
Well I sold a million mirrors in a shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Now they say your folks are telling you be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you
are
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive
Well I loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me ev'rything I need to feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger, maybe that can by my goal?
I was told a million times of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on tryin' and get better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million
miles
Then I'd still be where I started, same as when I started
Keep yourself alive, c'mon, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive
(Keep yourself alive, c'mon, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and a money
To keep me satisfied)
Do you think you're better every day?
No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive, c'mon keep yourself alive
Take your time and take my money!
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, c'mon keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and - a - money
To keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money honey
You will survive...

DOING ALL RIGHT:
Yesterday
my life was in ruins
Now today I know what I'm doin'
Gotta feelin', I should be doin' all right
Doing all right
Where will I be this time tomorrow?
Jumped in joy or sinking in sorrow
Anyway, I should be doing all right
Doing all right
Should be waiting for the sign
Looking round to find the words to say
Should be waiting for the skies to clear
If there were time in all the world
Should be waiting for the sun
and anyway I got to hide away
Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today God knows what I'm doing
Anyway, I should be doin' all right
Doing all right
Doin' all right

GREAT KING RAT:
Great
King Rat died today
Born on the twenty-first of May
Died syphilis forty-four on his birthday
Every second word he swore
Yes he was the son of a whore
Always wanted by the law
Wouldn't you like to know, wouldn't you like to know
people
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
A dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you would like to see
Where will I be tomorrow
Will I beg, will I borrow
I don't care, I don't care anyway
Come on come on the time is right
The man is evil and that is tight
I told you ah yes I told him
And that's no lie oh no no
Wouldn't you like to know, wouldn't you like to know
wouldn't you like to know
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you would you like to see
Wouldn't you like to know, wouldn't you like to know
people
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you would you like to see
Now listen all you people
Put out the good and keep the bad
Don't believe all you read in the bible
You sinners get in line
Saints you leave far behind
Very soon you're gonna be his disciple
Don't listen to what Mama says
Not a word, not a word Mama says
Or else you'll find yourself being the rival
The great Lord before he died
Knelt sinners by his side
and said "you're going to realise tomorrow"
No I'm not gonna tell you
what you already know
'cause time and time again
the old man said it all a long time ago
Come on come on the time is right
This evil man will fight
I told you before (and that's no lie)
Wouldn't you like to know, wouldn't you like to know
Just like I said before
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
and a dirty old mas was he
The last time I tell you
Would you like to see

MY FAIRY KING:
In the
land where horses born with eagle wings
and honey bees have lost their strings
they're singing forever
Lions den with fallow deer
and rivers made from wines so clear
flow on and on forever
Dragons fly like sparrow's thru the air
and baby lambs where Samson dares
to go on on on on on
(1st voice) He rules the air and turns the
(2nd voice) My Fairy King and can see things
that are not
(1st voice) tides ooh yeah he guides the
(2st voice) there for you and me My Fairy King
(1st voice) winds
(2st voice) can do right and nothing wrong
Then came man to savage in the night
To run like thieves and to kill like knives
To take away the power from the magic hand
To bring about the ruin to the promised land
They turn milk into sour
like the blue in the blood of my veins
(why can't you see it)
Fire burnin' in hell
with the cry of screaming pain
Son of heaven set me free and let me go
Sea turns dry no salt from sand
Seasons fly no helping hand
Teeth don't shine like pearls for poor men's eyes
Someone someone
just drained the colour from my wings
Broken my fairy circle ring
and shamed the king in all his pride
Changed the winds and wronged the tides
Mother Mercury, look what they've done to me
I cannot run
I cannot hide

LIAR:
I have
sinned dear father
Father I have sinned
Try and help me father
Won't you let me in
Liar, oh nobody believes me
Liar, why don't you leave me alone
Sire I have stolen
Stolen many times
Raised my voice in anger
When I know I never should
Liar, oh ev'rybody deceives me
Liar, why don't you leave me alone
Liar, I have sailed the seas
Liar, from Mars to Mercury
Liar, I have drunk the wine
Liar, time after time
Liar, you're lying to me
Liar, oh you're lying to me
Father please forgive me
You know you'll never leave me
Please will you direct me
in the right way
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, that's what they keep calling me
Liar, liar, liar
Listen, are you gonna listen
Mama, I'm gonna be your slave - all day long
Mama, I'm gonna try behave - all day long
Mama, I'm gonna be your slave - all day long
I'm gonna serve you 'til your dying day - all day long
I'm gonna keep you 'til you're dying day - all day long
I'm gonna kneel down by your side and pray - all day long
and pray
all day long and pray, all day long (ad lib)
All day long, all day long, all day long
Liar, liar, they never ever let you win
Liar, liar, ev'rything you do is sin
Liar, nobody believes you
Liar, they bring you down before you begin
Ooh, now let me tell you this
So now you know
You could be dead before they let you

THE NIGHT COMES DOWN:
When I
was young it came to me
and I could see the sun break in
Lucy was high and so was I
dazzling holding the world inside
Once I believed in ev'ry one
ev'ry one and anyone can see
Oh the night comes down
and I get afraid of losing my way
Oh the night comes down
and it's dark again
Once I could laugh with ev'ryone
one I could see the good in me
The black and the white distinctively
colouring holding the world inside
Now all the world is grey to me
nobody can see
you gotta believe it
Oh the night comes down
and I get afraid of losing my way
Oh the night comes down ooh
and it's dark again
and it's dark again
and it's dark

MODERN TIMES ROCK'N ROLL:
Had to
make do with a worn out rock and roll scene
The old bop is getting tired
need a rest well you know what I mean
Fifty-eight that was great
but it's over now and that's all
Somethin' harder's coming up
gonna really knock a hole in the wall
Gonna hit ya grab you hard
make you feel ten feet tall
Well I hope this baby's gonna come along soon
You don't know it could happen
and ol' rainy afternoon
With the temperature down
and the duke box blowin' no fuse
And my musical life's
feelin' like a long Sunday school cruise
And you know that there's one thing
every single body could use
yeah listen to me baby
let me tell you what it's all about
Modern times rock 'n' roll
Modern times rock 'n' roll
Get your high heeled guitar styled boots
and some groovy clothes
Get a hair piece on you chest
and a ring through your nose
Find a nice little man who says
he's gonna make you a real big star
Stars in your eyes
ants in your pants
think you should go far
Ev'rybody in this burn sucking world's
gonna know just who you are
Look out
Modern times rock 'n' roll

SON AND DAUGHTER:
I want
you
Woman
Tried to be a son and daughter
rolled into one
You said you'd equal any man
for having your fun
Now didn't you feel
surprised to find
the cap just didn't fit
The world expects a man
to buckle down and to shovel shit
What'll you do for loving
when it's only just begun
I want you
to be a woman
Tried to be a teacher
and a fisher of man
An equal people preacher
will you lead us all the same
Well I travelled all round
the world and found
a brand new word for day
Watching the time
mustn't linger behind
pardon me I have to get away
What'll you think of heaven
if it's back from where you came
I want you
to be a woman
I want you
to be a woman yeah

JESUS:
And then
I saw Him in the crowd
A lot of people had gathered around Him
The beggars shouted
and the lepers called Him
The old man said nothing
he just stared about Him
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down
Then came a man before his feet he fell
"unclean" said the leper, rang his bell
Felt the palm of hand touch his head
"go now, go now you're a new man instead"
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down
It all began with the three wise men
Followed a star took them to Bethlehem
And made it heard throughout the land
Born was the leader of man
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down
It all began with the three wise men
Followed a star took them to Bethlehem
And made it heard throughout the land
Born was the leader of man
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down to see the Lord Jesus
All going down
