1. MOVING

Moving stranger
Does it really matter
As long as you're not afraid to feel?
Touch me, hold me
How my open arms ache!
Try to fall for me

How I'm moved
How you move me
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul

Moving liquid
Yes, you are just as water
You flow around all that comes in your way
Don't think it over
It always takes you over
And sets your spirit dancing

How I'm moved
How you move me
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
(You give me life)

Please don't let me go
(Please don't let me go)

You give me life
(You give me life)

Please don't let me go
(Please don't let me go)

Oh, you give me life
(Oh, you give me life)

Please don't let me go
(Please don't let me go)

You crush the lily in my soul
(La-la-la-la la lily)

Soul
(La-la-la-la la lily)

Soul
(La-la-la-la la lily)


2. THE SAXOPHONE SONG

You'll find me in a Barlin bar
In a corner, brooding
You know that I go very quiet
When I am listening to you
There's something special indeed
In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy
There's something very real in how I feel, honey

It's in me, it's in me - and you know it's for real
Tuning in your saxophone
Doo - ba - doo - ba - doo

The candle burning over your shoulder
Is throwing shadowson your saxophone
A surly lady in tremor
The stars that climb from her bowels'
Those stars make towers on vowels
You'll never know that you had all of me
You'll never see the poetry you stirred in me
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
I've never known or felt, in myself, so rightly

It's in me, it's in me - and you know it's real
Tuning in your saxophone
Doo - ba - doo - ba - doo


3. STRANGE PHENOMENA

Soon it will be the phase of the moon
When people tune in
Every girl knows about the punctual blues
But who's to know the power behind our moves?

A day of coincidence with the radio
And a word that won't go away
We know what they're all going to say
"G" arrives- "Funny, had a feeling he was on his way!"

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena
Soul-birds of a feather flock together
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us
Sure 'nuff, he has the answer
He has the answer
He has the answer, be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh...
"Om mani padme
Om mani padme
Om mani padme hum."

You pick up a paper. You read a name
You go out. It turns up again and again
You bump into a friend you haven't seen for a long time
Then into another you only thought about last night

You hear your sister calling for you
But you don't know where from
You know there's something wrong
But you don't want to believe in a premonition

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena
Soul-birds of a feather flock together
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us
Sure 'nuff, he has the answer
He has the answer
He has the answer, be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh...
"Om mani padme
Om mani padme
Om mani padme hum."

"Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum..."


4. KITE

(Come up and be a kite)

Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o
My feet are heavy and I'm rooted in my wellios
And I want to get away and go

(I wanna be)

From all these

(I wanna be home)

Mirror windows

I look at eye level, it isn't good enough
And then I find it out when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky

(There's a hole in the)

With a big eyeball

(There's a hole in the sky)

Calling me:

"Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night!
A diamond kite, a diamond kite
Ooh, what a diamond!

"A diamond kite
On a diamond flight
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the moon, over the moon!"

(Come up and be a kite)

I feel a rush along my body, like a bullet
I'm 2-D after a push-and-pull feeling
And I want to get back to

(I wanna be)

Safe home

(I wanna be home)

I love the homeland dome

I got no limbs, I'm like a feather on the wind
Well, I'm not sure if I want to be up here, at all
And I'd like to be

(I'd like to be)

Back on the ground

(I'd like to be down)

But I don't know how to get down, down, down!

"Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night!
A diamond kite, a diamond kite
Ooh, what a diamond!

"A diamond kite
On a diamond flight
Over the lights, oooh, under the moon
Over the lights, oooh, under the moon
Over the moon, over the moon!"

(Come up and be a kite)
(Come up and be a kite)


5. THE MAN WITH THE CHILD IN HIS EYES

I hear him
Before I go to sleep
And focus on the day
That's been
I realize he's there
When I turn the light off
And turn over

Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself listening
To a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
Oh his love is to eternity

Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes

He's very understanding and he's so
Aware of all my situations
When I stay up late
He's always with me
What I feel when I hesitate
Oh I'm so worried about my love
They say "no, no it won't last forever"
And here I am again my girl
Wondering what on earth I am doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him

Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes


6. WUTHERING HEIGHTS

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you
I hated you, I loved you too

Bad dreams in the night
You told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold let me in your window

Ooh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master

Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window

Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy.

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold


7. JAMES AND THE COLD GUN

James, come on home
You've been gone too long, baby
We can't let our hero die alone
We miss you day and night
You left town to live by the rifle
You left us to fight
But it just ain't right to take away the light

Remember Genie, from the casino
She still a - waiting in her big brass bed
The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back
'Till they get out of hand
And wish they were dead
They're only lonely for the life that they led
With their old friend
Ooh, James are you selling your soul to a cold gun?

Where lies your heart?
It's not there in the buckskin baby
It's not there in the gin that makes you laugh long and loud

You're a coward James
You're running away from humanity
You're running out of reality
It won't be funny when they
Rat - a - tat - tat you down


8. FEEL IT

After the party, you took me back to your parlour
A little nervous laughter, locking the door
My stockings fall onto the floor, desperate for more
Nobody else can share this
Here comes one and one makes one
The glorious union, well, it could be love
Or it could be just lust but it will be fun
It will be wonderful

Oh feel it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it my love
Oh feel it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it my love
Oh I need it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it my love
Feel it! See what you're doing to me
See what you're doing to me

God, but you're beautiful, aren't you?
Feel your warm hand walking around
I won't pull away, my passion always wins
So keep on a-moving it, keep on a-tuning in
Synchronize rhythm now

Oh feel it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it my love
Oh feel it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it my love
Oh I need it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it my love
Feel it! See what you're doing to me
See what you're doing to me


9. OH TO BE IN LOVE

As the light hits you
As you shift along the floor
I find it hard to place my face
How did I come to be here, anyway?
It's terribly vague, what's gone before

I could have been anyone
You could have been anyone's dream

Why did you have to choose our moment?
Why did you have to make me feel that?
Why did you make it so unreal?

Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
Never get out again

Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
Never get out again

All the colours look brighter now
Everything they say seems to sound new
Slipping into tomorrow too quick
Yesterday always too good to forget
Stop the swing of the pendulum. Let us through!

Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
Never get out again


10. L'AMOUR LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE YOU

You came out of the night
Wearing a mask in white colour
My eyes were shining
On the wine, and your aura
All in order, we move into the boudoir
But too soon the morning has resumed

I'm hanging on the Old Goose Moon
You look like an angel
Sleeping it off at a station
Were you only passing through?

I'm dying for you just to touch me
And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me
L'amour looks something like you

The thought of you sends me shivery
I'm dressed in lace, sailing down a black reverie
My heart is thrown
To the pebbles and the boatmen
All the time I find I'm living in that evening
With that feeling of sticky love inside

I'm hanging on the Old Goose Moon
You look like an angel
Sleeping it off at a station
Were you only passing through?

I'm dying for you just to touch me
And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me
L'amour looks something like you


11. THEM HEAVY PEOPLE

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

To me
Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

To me

They arrived at an inconvenient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They made me look at myself. I saw it well
I'd shut the people out of my life

So now I take the opportunities:
Wonderful teachers ready to teach me
I must work on my mind. For now I realize:
Everyone of us has a heaven inside

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

To me
Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

Rolling the ball
(Rolling)

To me

They open doorways that I thought were shut for good
They read me Gurdjieff and Jesu
They build up my body, break me emotionally
It's nearly killing me, but what a lovely feeling!

I love the whirling of the dervishes
I love the beauty of rare innocence
You don't need no crystal ball
Don't fall for a magic wand
We humans got it all, we perform the miracles

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me

(Heavy heavy)

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me

(Heavy heavy)

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me

(Heavy heavy)

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me


12. ROOM FOR THE LIFE

Hey there, you lady in tears
Do you think that they care if they're real, woman?
They just take it as part of the deal
Lost in your men and the games you play
Trying to prove that you're better, woman
But you needn't get heavy with them
Like it or not, we were built tough
Because we're woman

No, we never die for long
While we've got that little life
To live for, where it's hid inside
No, we never die for long
Oh! Woman, two in one

There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Inside of you can be two, woman
There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Mama woman, aha!

Night after night in the quiet house
Plaiting her hair by the fire, woman
With no lover to free her desire
How long do you think she can stick it out?
How long do you think before she'll go out, woman?
Hey! Get up on your feet and go get it, now
Like it or not, we keep bouncing back
Because we're woman

No, we never die for long
While we've got that little life
To live for, where it's hid inside
Oh! Woman, two in one

There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Inside of you can be two, woman
There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Mama woman, aha!

A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
Oh, mama-woman, two-in-a-one, aha!
Oh, two in one, aha!
Oh, woman! Woman! Woman! Woman!
There's room for a life in your womb!
There's room for a life in your womb!
Two in one, aha!
Two in one! Two in one! Two in one!
Room for a life in your womb


13. THE KICK INSIDE

I've pulled down my lace and the chintz
Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius?
I'll send your love to Zeus
Oh, by the time you read this
I'll be well in touch

I'm giving it all in a moment or two
I'm giving it all in a moment, for you
I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it, giving it
This kicking here inside
Makes me leave you behind
No more under the quilt
To keep you warm
Your sister I was born
You must lose me like an arrow
Shot into the killer storm

You and me on the bobbing knee
Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read!
I will come home again, but not until
The sun and the moon meet on yon hill

I'm giving it all in a moment or two
I'm giving it all in a moment, for you
I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it, giving it
This kicking here inside
Makes me leave you behind
No more under the quilt
To keep you warm
Your sister I was born
You must lose me like an arrow
Shot into the killer storm

I've pulled down my lace and the chintz
Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius?
I'll send your love to Zeus
Oh, by the time you read this
