Campainer
I am a lonely visitor
I came to late to cause a stir
Though i campaigned all my life
Towards that goal
I hardly slept the night you wept
Our secret's safe and still well kept
[Chorus]
Where even richard nixon has got soul
Even richard nixon has got
Soul
[Verse 2]
Traffic cops are all color blind
People steal from their own kind
Evening comes to early for a stroll
Down neon streets the streaker streaks
The speaker speaks
But the truth still leaks
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
The podium rocks in the crowded waves
The speaker talks of the beautiful saves
That went down long before
He played this role
For the hotel queens and the magazines
Test tube genes and slot machines
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Hospitals have made him cry
But there's always a free way in his eye
Though his beach just got
Too crowded for his stroll
Roads stretch out like healthy veins
And wild gift horses strain the reins
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I am a lonely visitor
I came to late to cause a stir
Though i campaigned all my life
Towards that goal
Old laughing lady
Don't call pretty Peggy
She can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message
Around her back door
They say the old laughing lady
Been here before
She don't keep time
No she don't count score
You can't have a cupboard
If there is no wall
You got to move there's
No time left to stall
They say the old laughing lady
Dropped by to call
And when she leaves
She leaves nothing at all
See the drunkard of the village
Falling on the street
Can't tell his ankles
From the rest of his feet
He loves his old laughing lady
Cause her taste is so sweet
But his laughing lady's loving
Is no the kind he can keep
There's a fever on the freeway
Blacks out the night
There's a slipping on the stairway
Just don't feel right
And there's a rumbling
In the bedroom
And a flashing of light
There's the old laughing lady
Everything is all right
Here we are in the years
Now that the holidays have come
They can relax and watch the sun
Rise above all
Of the beautiful things
They've done
Go to the country take the dog
Look at the sky without the smog
See the world laugh
At the farmers feeding hogs
Eat hot dogs
What a pity
That the people from the city
Can't relate to the slower things
That the country brings
Time itself is bought and sold
The spreading fear of growing old
Contains a thousand foolish games
That we play
While people
Planning trips to stars
Allow another boulevard to claim
A quiet country lane
It's insane
So the subtle face is a loser
This time around
Here we are in the years
Where the showman
Shifts the gears
Lives become careers
Children cry in fear
Let us out of here!
Human Highway
I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost on the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind
I come down from the crooked mansion
And I’ve get marry
With the D.J.'s daughter
Since that day I heard it mentioned
That my name is on the line
Now, my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind
Now, my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind
I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost on the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind
Losind end
I went into town to see you
Yesterday
But you were not home
So I talked to some old friends
For a while
Before I wandered off alone
[Chorus]
It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same
Won't you ever change your ways
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again
[Verse 2]
Well, I miss you more than ever
Since you've gone
I can hardly maintain
Things are different round here
Every night
My tears fall down like rain
Star of bethlen With the secrets of the worlds
Isn't it hard And his subjects
When you wake up Gathered around him
In the morning Like the leaves around a tree
And you find out In their clothes of many colors
That those other days For the angry gods to see
Are gone? And the women all were beautiful
All you have And the men stood
Is memories of happiness Straight and strong
Lingering on They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
[Chorus] Hate was just a legend
You might wonder And war was never known
Who can I turn to The people worked together
On this cold And they lifted many stones
And chilly night of gloom They carried them
The answer to that question To the flat lands
Is nowhere in this room And they died along the way
But they built up
[Verse 2] With their bare hands
All your dreams What we still can't do today
And your lovers And I know she's living there
Won't protect you And she loves me to this day
They're only passing I still can't remember when
Through you in the end Or how I lost my way
They'll leave
You stripped of all
That they can get to
And wait for you
To come back again

[Outro]
Yet still a light is shining
From that lamp on down the hall
Maybe the star of Bethlehem
Wasn't a star at all

Cortez the killer

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
Don’t let it bring you down Dance Dance Dance
Old man sitting by the side of the road [Verse 1]
With the lorries rolling by Never thought love
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the Had a rainbow on it
load Used to think a cloud
And the buildings scrape the sky Was a nightmare
That was up until
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn I first met you
And the morning paper flies Now i go around
Dead man lying by the side of the road Hoping you care
With the daylight in his eyes
[Chorus]
[Chorus] Dance, dance
Don't let it bring you down Feel it all around you
It's only castles burning Dance, dance, dance
Find someone who's turning Never thought love
And you will come around Had a rainbow on it
See the girl dance
[Verse 2] See the girl dance
Blind man running through the light of
the night [Verse 2]
With an answer in his hand Mississippi mud
Come on down to the river of sight Never touched her fingers
And you can really understand California sand
Lies in her hand
Red lights flashing through the window in Love her more than life
the rain As the daylight lingers
Can you hear the sirens moan? Early in the morning
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane I'll be her man
If you're walking home alone

Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

[Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around
Journey through the past
When the winter rains
Come pourin' down
On that new home of mine
Will you think of me
And wonder if I'm fine?
Will your restless heart
Come back to mine
On a journey thru the past
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?

Now I'm going back to Canada

On a journey thru the past
And I won't be back
Till February comes
I will stay with you
If you'll stay with me
Said the fiddler to the drum
And we'll keep good time
On a journey thru the past

When the winter rains

Come pourin' down
On that new home of mine
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?
Out of the weekend
Think I'll pack it in
And buy a pick-up
Take it down to "L.A."
Find a place to call my own
And try to fix up
Start a brand new day
[Pre-Chorus]
The woman I'm thinking of
She loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind
I hear her calling
[Chorus]
See the lonely boy
Out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Can't relate to joy
He tries to speak and
Can't begin to say
Can't begin to say
Oh
Heart of gold
want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searchin' for a heart of
gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to
Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searchin' for a heart of
gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

[Harmonica Solo] Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold

You keep me searchin'
[Verse 2] And I'm growing old
She got pictures on the wall Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
They make me look up I've been a miner for a heart of gold
From her big brass bed
Now I'm running down the road
Trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head
The woman I'm thinking of
She loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind
I hear her calling

[Chorus]
See the lonely boy
Out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Can't relate to joy
He tries to speak and
Old man
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
24 and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you
[Hook]
Old man, take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true
[Verse 2]
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
Cowgirl in the sand
Hello, cowgirl in the sand
Is this place at your command?
Can I stay here for a while?
Can I see your sweet sweet smile?
[Chorus]
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you
That makes you want to play this game
Hello, ruby in the dust
Has your band begun to rust?
After all the sin we've had
I was hoping that we'd turn bad
[Chorus]
Hello, woman of my dreams
This is not the way it seems
Purple words on a grey background
To be a woman and to be turned down
Captain Kennedy
I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinking about my family and what it
was for
There's water on the wood and the sails
feel good
And when I get to shore
I hope that I can kill good
[Verse]
My father was a sailor named Captain
Kennedy
He lost his wooden schooner to the
Germans on the sea
Exploded on the water for everyone to see
And humiliate that American
Captain Kennedy
I saw him in Nassau in 1971
His strength was failing but he still ran a
run
He worked until his fingers wore to the
bone
To buy that wooden schooner and sail on
his own
He was known in the islands as hundred
foot iron
That steel hull freighter was passing its
time
And time flew by faster with life on the
sea
And the days grew shorter for Captain
Kennedy
El Dorado
In the crystal ball
The gypsy sees the villa
The riders on the hill
The fire in the fields
She sees the mission bell
Swinging in the silence
Now the shooting starts
The bullets pierce the hearts
The senoritas crying at the well
[Verse 2]
Up in the Gold Hotel
The money hits the table
The heavies all are there
That's why the deal's going down
Beautiful women all dressed in
Diamonds and sable
Down upon the street
Beside a garbage heap
A Mariachi band begins to play
[Verse 3]
Somewhere a blues guitar
Plays echoes in the alleyway
The Tijuana dawn
Claims another day
The golden sun
Rises on the runway
The pilot understands
The money changes hands
Inside the jet
The briefcase snaps goodbye
Hepless
There is a town in North Ontario
Dream comfort memory to spare
And in my mind I still need a place to go
All my changes were there
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
Babe, can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the
door
Baby, sing with me somehow
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless

In Eldorado town
There lives a great bullfighter
His eyes are screaming blue
His hair is red as blood
And when the gate goes up
The crowd gets so excited
And he comes dancing out
Dressed in gold lami
He kills the Bull
And lives another day
