In the GRAVE W.B. Yeats "Second" Why should I blame her That she filled my days With misery or that she would of late Have taught to ignorant men violent ways Or hurled the little street upon the great Had they but courage Equals to desire Sad that Maud Gonne Couldn't stay But she had Mac Bride anyway And you sit here with me On the isle Inisfree And you writing down everything But i know by now Why did you sit here In the grave... Why should I blame her Had they but courage equals to desire This song has been written with inspiration from theses William Butler Yeats poems: ------------------------ William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939) ------------------------ THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made: Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core. NO SECOND TROY Why should I blame her that she filled my days With misery, or that she would of late Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways, Or hurled the little streets upon the great, Had they but courage equal to desire? What could have made her peaceful with a mind That nobleness made simple as a fire, With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind That is not natural in an age like this. Being high and solitary and most stern? Why, what could she have done being what she is? Was there another Troy for her to burn? Daffodil Lament Holding on that's what I do Since I met you And it won't be long, would you notice If I left you And it's fine for some Cause you're not he one, All night long, I laid on my pillow Theses things are wrong I can't sleep here So lonely, so lonely I have decided to leave you forever I have decided to start things from here Thunder and lightning won't change What I'm feeling And the daffodils look lovely today Oh in your eyes I can see the disguise Oh in your eyes I can see the dismay Has anyone seen lightning Has anyone looked lovely And the daffodils looked lovely today Looked lovely No Need To Argue There 's no need to argue anymore I gave all i could But it left me so sore And the thing that makes me mad is the one thing that I had I knew, I knew I'd loose you You 'll always be special to me And I remember all the Things we once shared Watching TV movies on the living room armchair But they say it will work out fine Was it all a waste of time Cause I knew, I knew I'd loose you You 'll always be special to me Will I forget in time You said I was on your mind There 's no need to argue No need to argue anymore There 's no need to argue anymore Special "To The Faithfull Departed" Hollywood I've got a picture in my head (in my head) It's me and you , we are in bed (we are in bed) You'll always be there when I call (when I call) You'll always be there most of all.

Who controls the keys? The web we weave is thick and sordid. Fine by me. At times of war. We're all the losers, There's no victory. We'll shoot to kill, and kill your lover. Fine by me. War Child! Victim of political Pride. Plant the seed, territorial Greed. Mind, the War Child. We should mind, the War Child. I spent last winter in New York, And came upon a man. He was sleeping on the streets and homeless, He said, "I fought in Vietnam." Beneath his shirt he wore the mark, He bore the mark of Pride. A two-inch deep incision carved, Into his side. War Child! Victim of political Pride. Plant the seed, territorial Greed. Mind, the War Child. We should mind, the War Child. Whose the loser now, eh? Whose the loser now, eh? We're all the losers now! We're all the losers now! War Child, War Child Forever Yellow Skies Yellow Skies, I can see the Yellow Skies. See you again, I see you again In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams.

We wore Doc Martens in the sun, Drinking vintage cider having fun. We were, drinking vintage cider having fun. It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often! It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often! We wore Doc Martens in the snow, Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow. What I am now is what I was then, I am not more acceptable then them. I am not more acceptable then them. It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often! It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often! It wasn't often, It wasn't often, It wasn't often, It wasn't often, It wasn't often, It wasn't often, It wasn't often, It wasn't often.

He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice. Because in 1980, he paid the price. John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died! John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died! With a Smith & Wesson, 38 John Lennon's life was no longer a debate. He should have stayed at home, he should have never cared. And the man who took his life declared, he said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!" He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!" What a sad and sorry and sickening sight. What a sad and sorry and sickening night, What a sad and sorry and sickening sight, What a sad and sorry and sickening night! "I Just Shot John Lennon!" He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!" What a sad and sorry and sickening sight. What a sad and sorry and sickening night, What a sad and sorry and sickening sight, What a sad and sorry and sickening night!

I'm still remembering the time You said you'd be mine. Yesterday was cold and bare Because you were not there. Yesterday was cold My story has been told. I need your affection all the way. The world is changing and has changed away (way). I try to remain. I'm trying not to go insane. I need your affection all the way. I'm still remembering my life Before I became your wife. I'm still remembering the pain And the mind games. Reverse psychology, never tainted me. I didn't sell my soul, I didn't sell my soul. I need your affection all the way. The world is changing and has changed away (way). I try to remain. I'm trying not to go insane. I need your affection all the way. They say the cream'll always Rise to the top.

Where are you now? I say, where are you now? I need your affection all the way. I need your affection all the way. I need your affection all the way. I need your affection all the way. Will You Remember Will you remember the dress I wore? Will you remember my face? Will you remember the lipstick I wore? This world is a wonderful place. Will you remember the black limousine? Will you remember champagne? Will you remember the things that we see? I will return here again. Will you remember the flowers in my hand? Will you remember my hair? Will you remember the future we planned? The world is not waiting out there. I won't remember the dress I wore. I won't remember champagne. I won't remember the things that we swore. I will just love you in vain. Will you remember? Will you recall? Will you remember? Joe There was a time, I was so lonely. (away) Remember the time, It was a Friday. (away) You made me feel fine, We did it my way. (away) I sat on your knees, every Friday. (away) (We walked in fields of golden hay) I still recall you. (We walked in fields of golden hay) I see you in the summer. Joe, Joe I sat on your chair by the fire. (away) Transfixed in a stare taking me higher. (away) Precious years to remember. (away) Childhood fears I surrender. (away) (We walked in fields of golden hay) I still recall you. (We walked in fields of golden hay) I see you in the summer. Joe, Joe |
