IN MY TIME OF DYING
© 1962 Bob Dylan

In my time of dying
I don't want nobody to mourn.
All I want for you to do is
Take my body home,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

Meet me, Jesus, meet me,
Won't you meet me in the middle of the air.
If these wings should fail me, Lord,
Won't you meet me with another pair,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

In my time of dying
I don't want nobody to cry,
All I want for you to do is
Take me when I die.
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy,
Well, well well,
Well, well, well,
So I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

STARDUST
© 1974, David Essex

Ah look what they've done to the rock'n'roll clown
Ah rock'n'roll clown, look he's down on the ground
Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n roll king is down

Roll on up, won't you come and take a look at me
Roll on up, come one at a time, and see me
See my painted-on grin as a stand up to sing
In a stardust ring, hey rock'n'roll king is down

But he's the leader of the band
He is a lonely manDo-Don't you wanna take his hand
Yes you know you can, can, can
Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky

In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n roll king is down
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n roll king is down
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n roll king is down

I CAST A LONESOME SHADOW
© 1961, Hank Thompson & Lynn Russwurm

Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room
And the lamplight shining on me projects my lonely gloom
My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

He's always by my side at night no matter where I go
He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow
He follows me across the steps and up and down the halls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame
My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain
I'm trying to escape the memory my heart recalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned
Are as empty as the bottle that I hold in my hand
My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

IN MY OTHER WORLD
© 1993 Julee Cruise & Louis Tucci

In my other world
There is no pain
And all my thoughts
Are clouds of happiness

In my other world
My heart beats red
There is no gun
Pointed at my head

And I don't really want your kiss
My thoughts don't make me cry
My heart's not filled with grey sadness
My ears can't hear you lie

And I can't even see your face
I've never heard your name
My heart is still my thoughts are calm
And light has filled this space

In my other world
My pain is bliss
I own your soul
I own your kiss
In my other world

LOVERMAN
© 1994, Nick Cave

There's a devil waiting outside your door
There's a devil waiting outside your door
And he's bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
Oh yeah
There's a devil waiting outside your door
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
Give him more, give him more
There's a devil waiting outside your door
Oh yeah

Loverman!
Since the world began
Forever, Amen
Until the end of time
Take off that dress
I'm coming down
I'm your loverman
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am

L is for LOVE, baby
O is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving VIRTUALLY all that you are
E is for loving almost EVERYTHING you do
R is for RAPE me
M is for MURDER me
A is for ANSWERING all of my prayers
N is for KNOWING your loverman's gonna be the answers to all yours

Loverman!
Till the bitter end
While empires burn down
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Amen
Loverman!
So help me, baby
So help me
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am
I'll be your loverman!

There's a devil crawling along your floor
There's a devil crawling along your floor
With a trembling heart, he's coming through the door
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
Oh yeah
There's a devil crawling along your floor
And he's old and he's stupid and he's hungry and he's sore
And he's lame and he's blind and he's dirty and he's poor
Give him more, give him more
Give him more, give him more
Give him more, give him more
Give him more
There's a devil crawling along your floor
Oh yeah

Loverman!
Well, here I stand
Forever, Amen
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
Forgive me, baby
My hands are bound
And I got no choice
No, I got no choice at all

I'll say it again
L is for LOVE, and
O is for O yes I do
V is for VIRTUE, so I ain't gonna hurt you
E is for EVEN if you want me to
R is for RENDER into me, baby
M is for that which is MINE
A is for ANY old how, darling
N is for ANY old time

I'll be your loverman!
I got a masterplan
To take off your dress
And be your man
Well, seize the throne
Seize the mantle
Seize the crown
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am
Your loverman

There's a devil lying by your side
You might think he's asleep but look at his eyes
He wants you, baby, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by your side

I'll be your loverman!
Your loverman!
Till the bitter end
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
Your loverman!
Your loverman!
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am, what I am
Your loverman!

BY THIS RIVER
© 1977 Brian Eno

Here we are
Stuck by this river,
You and I
Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down

Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came:
I wonder why we came

You talk to me
As if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time,
From another time

LOST IN THE STARS
© 1949 Maxwell Anderson

Before Lord God made the sea and the land,
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand,
And one little star fell alone.

Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star on the wind down there.
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost again.

Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him,
So long as the Lord God's watching over them,
Keeping track of how it all goes on.

But I've been walking all the night and the day,
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray.
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away,
And we're lost out here in the stars.

Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night,
And we're lost out here in the stars.
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night,
And we're lost out here in the stars.

OH MY LOVE
© 1971 John Lennon & Yoko Ono

Oh my love for the first time in my life
My eyes are wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My eyes can see

I see the wind, oh I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
I see the clouds, oh I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world

Oh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feel

I feel the sorrow, oh I feel the dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life, oh I feel love
Everything is clear in our world

TINY GIRLS
© 1977 Iggy Pop & David Bowie

Well the day begins
You don't want to live
'Cause you can't believe
In the one you're with
'Cause you know her tricks
And you know her past
When she makes a face
You just have to laugh
And you feel like such a know-it-all
When you only want just a tiny girl
And you hope she'll sing

So you turn around
Toward the tiny girls
Who have got no tricks
Who have got no past
Yea that's what you think
And you hope she'll sing
But she sings of greed
Like a young banshee
And she wants for this
And she wants for that
What did you think

CANDY SAYS
© 1969 Lou Reed

Candy says, I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world

Candy says, I'd like to know completely
What all they so discretely talk about

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older

What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

Candy says, I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be

Candy says, I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older

What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

LIFE IS STRANGE
© 1973 Marc Bolan

Strange, life is strange, life is strange,
Oh life is strange.

O god, life is strange,
People come and people go,
Some move fast and some move slow,
No, no, no, no, no.

O god, life is good,
Some are fat and some are thin,
Some don't even ask you how you've been,
No, no, no, no, no.

Strange, life is strange, life is strange.
Oh life is strange.

O god, life is strange,
Some are fast and some are slow,
Some believe, me don't even know,
No, no, no, no, no.

Strange life is strange, life is strange.
Oh my life is strange

LEFT HAND LUKE AND THE BEGGAR BOYS
© 1973 Marc Bolan

Call yourself friend, and look me in the eye,
I'll unstrap my knees an apologise,
'Cos I'm, Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,
O yes we are.

Ain't no neighbours, upon our hill,
'Crept slight thigh Be-bop and old gumbo jill,
But I'm, Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,
O yes we are.

Ain't nobody's some-one,
And it hurts deep inside,
Just call us taxi mama and we'll take you for a ride,
'Cos we're, Left Hand Luke and the begger boys.
O yes we are.

Left hand luke and the begger boys,
O yes we are.

Myxomatosis is an animal's disease,
But I got so shook up mama that it ate away my knees,
And I'm Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,
O yes we are.

Ain't had no money lord, but it's plain to see,
If you had some silver mister how much would you pay for me?
'Cos I'm, Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,
O yes we are.

No one's gonna fool me baby
