Stone me
and may you always have no shoes
and I would rather just for you
be the devil make you mine
and she
I know you say you hardly sleep
I make you cold I make you weak
I'll be the son of everything you hate
and come the day I'll be the king
the king of all and everything
your saint is coming thru'
you know he's going to feed on you
I've been walkin' with no shoes
keep your mountain picnic blues
today I'm baptising you
stone me
and may you always have no shoes
and I would rather just for you
be in a taxi driving miles from here
I've been walking with no shoes
fill my kidneys up with booze
today I'm killing you
The stars
who play with laughing sam goodnight
I know God is on your side
I'll be the devil
make you, make you mine
And I could hardly wait to shoot you down
I keep you underneath my crown
a side of beef should see you off to sleep
I've been walking with no shoes
keep your mountain picnic blues
today I'm baptising you

Hey country boy
hey country boy
what are you sad about
everyday you make the sun come out
even in the pouring rain
I'll come to see you
and I'll save you, I'll save you
What do you care about
and she said "this and that"
what do I mean to you
I'll show you if you want the truth
I can't remember
I don't know how to tell you
but I love you just the same
How many eyes
must a young girl have
I know she makes you cry
I know she makes you laugh
I'll be good to you if I could I'd make you happy
if I had a son I'd be good to my daddy
who loves you though I bet it's not the same
as your north country boy
Hey country boy
what are you sad about
I think we'll work it out
even in the morning rain
he'll come to see you
hope your feelings are the same
How many ears must a young girl have
I know she hears you cry
I know she hears you laugh
Itchy and Scratchy come runnin' up the alley
if you'll be good I'll be good to your daddy
who loves you but I bet it's not the same
as your north country boy
What do you care about
and she said "this and that"
what do I mean to you
I'll show you if you want the truth
I threw it all away
I don't know where I put it
but I miss it all the same
How many eyes must a young girl have
I know she makes you cry
I know she makes you laugh
I'll be good to you if I could I'd make you happy
if I had a son I'd be good to my daddy
who loves you but I bet it's not the same
as your north country boy

I'll be there in the mornin'
can't you see I'm tellin' stories
my sweet angel's everlasting true love ways
I'll wait I sow the seed
I set the scene and
I watch the world go by
See me go thru' changes
revelations to blank pages
I'll find a brighter guide to see me thru'
and leaves fall to the ground
turn to brown through the day just like you
Live for the day
I see your heart is empty I've got plenty
Joe come ride with me
I see your head is meant to be cemented
it's true
when the stories that you tell come back to haunt you
Come see me in the morning
can't you see I'm tellin' stories
my sweet angel's everlasting true love ways
while others turn to others
introduce you and walk right on thru'
it's just about knowing where you come from
being you and singing Love songs
can begin to fill your day
I could lead you to the top don't stop
I could lead you there still
Live for the day
I see your heart is empty I've got plenty
Joe come ride with me
I see your head is meant to be cemented
it's true
when the stories that you tell come back to haunt you
. . .

one to another
sister and a brother
changing the way that you feel
pleased to meet you
hope I never see you
I'll be at ease watchin' you sleep watchin' you smile
love I adore you
always lookin' for you
and I'll be there whenever you need me
be my spiderwoman I'll be your spiderman
I hear our day is comin'
grows sweeter every year
tomorrow could be too easy
and today's goin' to be too near
justice for believers and love can keep the faith
I don't need you I can't buy you I can't hurt you
one to another
peace to my brother
always giving me his thing for free
sad to knock you
its good to rock you
and I'll do it the best that I can
I hear our day is coming
gets sweeter every year
tomorrow's gonna be too easy
and today's gonna be too near
trust is for believers and love can keep the faith
I don't need you I can't buy you I can't hurt you
Stand by my accusations
I'll come clean I don't need no vice
I know you want to keep me waitin'
I think its funny that you might
love is hard to leave
and it's hard to never have
can you please crawl out of your window
you can play with all my love
yeah yeah yeah
box up all our records
and a head full of ideas
and a hand full of escape routes
they're going to burn you
. . .

All the people gather round
and see the sun set high
leaders and your disused milk
will quietly pass you by
what will it be
my melody will set you free
I know you'd rather be with us
than be with them today
I could be alone with you
while all the pretty people
watch the years go by
And in your free world
you will sail on
Ooh! you're a big girl now
you're a big girl now
See her through jet pilot eyes
mysterious and thin
Like a raven breakin' free
from the towers they keep you in
what a scene it is to see
I would love to have you round
I will be alone with you
I will wait out on the streets
watching wheels go by
and with your freedom
you will sail on
Ooh! You're a big girl now
You're a big girl now
. . .

Darlin' don't you cry
whatever is yours is mine
all the pictures on your wall
I know you look up to them all
usually love comes first
I watch as you twist and turn
I could give you mouth to mouth
and only the truth would come out
here I come how can you follow
it's only a gut feelin'
I don't want to believe it
how can you leave us
how can you bleed on us
Darlin' you live to learn
hanging on all our words
promise me you'll be home soon
I could rush through the city to you
won't find you in this world
catchin' dinosaurs
No saint will save you this time round
I only wish you were here with us now
here I come how can you follow
it's only a gut feelin'
I don't want to believe it
how can you leave us
how can you bleed on us
. . .

how high
oh! I can kiss the sun
run a minute mile
while you hitch hike
love shines a light
I'll be a winners cup
and I'm lookin' for the one who cut you up
you're not having me
you know the skies are mean
and I'm hopin' for a way to free you
love I'm fixing holes
the ones you break up
Come in from your drive
and the hand that rocks you
cuts you up like
lyrics of your life
I can't buy
what I've done before
I want to open up another door
I'm going to let you pass
I'm on another path
I want to be the king
while you zig zag
on a holy road
like Caine from Kung Fu
How high oh! I can kiss the sun
Hang on to your hopes my darlin'
don't let it slip away
and the hand who holds you
keeps you warm
and helps you live today
Love shines a light
and it takes and it hurts
I know I'm right
I can bend 'til I burst
and love shines a light
and repays you with us
Yeah too right
I'm gonna pledge my time 'til the day I die
how high
oh! I can kiss the sun
run a minute mile while you hitch hike
love shines a light
I'll be a lovin' cup
I'll be down when you're down
I'll be up when you're up
you're not havin'
I know the skies are mean
and I'll be looking for a way to free you love
I'm fixing holes
the ones you break up
comin' from your drive
and the hand that rocks you
cuts you up like
lyrics of your life
Love shines a light
and it takes and it hurts
I know I'm right
I can bend 'til I burst
and love shines a light
and repays you with us
Yeah too right
I'm gonna pledge my time 'til the day I die
. . .

I've been lookin' to save the city
looks like the biggest thing
and now you seem like you're not so real
as the songs you give
so you pack up your bags and leave
to what seems like a better dream
it's alright we're only teething
only young
yeah since you came
last week to say you're on your way
you don't have to say good luck
'cos I don't need it babe
the occasional sin
is like your music my friend
and the singer
he don't look me in the eye
is there a soul in young things
or in the people you meet
I know you're obviously misbelieving
what you're saying is only right
yeah, since you came
my sweet to say, you're on your way
you don't have to wish me good luck
'cos I don't need it babe
meanwhile, you're only dreaming
me I've got something to see in
a heartache's as good as you feel it
and now you're on your own
I know I've been losing you
and it looks like I'll use you too
it broke in a million pieces
overnight
I've been to the promised land
and I shook the almighty hand
who said it's alright you're only teethin'
in my eyes
Yeah, since you came last week
to say you're on your way
you don't have to say good luck
'cos I don't need it babe
. . .

When you're low
and I'm feeling awry
and it's time to say goodnight
when you finally lay your soul to rest
I'll be falling asleep on an empty street
no matter how you're feeling
you know you're never on your own
Hear the bells ring in the morning
when you crawl back from the church
all the buildings go up to the sky
all the people goin' down to the ground
no matter how you're feeling
you know you're never on your own
And your boss is quietly hounding
as he creeps into your sleep
no voice or poet's pen can touch what
hits you in the morning
it don't matter how you're feeling
you know you're never on your own
you don't even have to answer the phone
Ain't nobody
talkin' me down
I will destroy you
I've shown my soul
come on
ain't nobody
listening to you
I'll be your eyes your ears
Get on it
. . .
