    We can be together
    Ah you and me
    We should be together

    But we should be together

    Our life's too fine to let it die and
    We can be together
    All your private property is
    Target for your enemy
    And your enemy is
    We
    We are forces of chaos and anarchy
    Everything they say we are we are
    And we are very
    Proud of ourselves

    Good shepherd nach oben

    If you want to get to heaven
    Over on the other shore
    Stay out of the way of the blood-stained bandit
    Oh good shepherd
    Feed my sheep
    One for Paul
    One for Silas
    One for to make my heart rejoice
    Can't you hear my lambs acallin
    Oh good shepherd
    Feed my sheep
    If you want to get to heaven
    Over on the other shore
    Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar
    Oh good shepherd
    Feed my sheep
    If you want to get to heaven
    Over on the other shore
    Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil
    Oh good shepherd
    Feed my sheep

    The farm nach oben

    Bought myself a farm way out in the country
    Took to growin lettuce milkin cows and honey
    Bought myself a farm (way out in the country)
    Bought myself a farm way out in the country
    Spent time in the hayloft with the mice and the bunnies
    Spent time in the country
    Yes it's good livin on the farm
    Ah so good livin on the farm
    Yes it's good livin on the farm
    Here comes my next door neighbour comin down the road
    He always looks so regal ridin on his toad named Lightnin
    The toad's name is Lightnin he's ten hands at the shoulder
    And if you give him sugar you know he'll whinny like a boulder
    Yes he will
    Well I gotta get back to work now and clear away some logs
    Ah the sun is shinin westwards yeah I think I'll saddle up my frog and
    Get outta here

    Hey Fredrick nach oben

    Either go away or go all the way in
    Look at what you hold
    Come back down on a spear of silence

    When it flies
    You go on through
    You come on through
    The rediculous no
    Oh no
    One more pair of
    Loving eyes look down on you
    Sheets and a pillow
    How old will you have to be before you
    Stop believing
    That those eyes will look down on you
    That way forever
    There you sit mouth wide open
    Animals nipping at your sides
    On wire wheels the four stroke man
    Opens wide
    The marching sound
    The constant ride
    On the gasket is mine
    Dichtung = gasket
    All mine
    One more pair of
    Wire wheels bear down on you
    Gear stripping the willow
    How many machine men will you see before you
    Stop believing that speed
    Will slide down on you
    Like brakes in bad weather

    Turn my life down nach oben

    When I see you next time round in sorrow
    Will you know what I been going through
    My yesterdays have melted with my tomorrow
    And the present leaves me with no point of view
    When I see you next time round look into my eyes
    Where we'd be never could decide
    Borrowed moments they cannot fill the moments of our lives
    And wishful thinking leaves me no place to hide
    No place to hide
    No place to hide
    I see the shadows softly coming
    Taking me into a place
    Where they turn my life down
    Leaving mourning with myself
    And nothing to say

    Wooden ships nach oben
    (UPS) EARTH JULY 1975
    Black sails knifing through the pitchblende night
    Away from the radioactive landmass madness
    From the silver-suited people searching out
    Uncontaminated food and shelter on the shores
    No glowing metal on our ship of wood only
    Free happy crazy people naked in the universe
    WE SPEAK EARTH TALK
    GO RIDE THE MUSIC

    If you smile at me you know I will understand
    Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
    In the same language
    I can see by your coat my friend that you're from the other side
    There's just one thing I got to know
    Can you tell me please who won
    You must try some of my purple berries
    I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
    Haven't got sick once
    Probably keep us both alive
    Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
    Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
    Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
    Very free and easy
    Sail away where the mornin sun goes high
    Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly
    Take a sister by her hand
    Lead her far from this barren land
    Horror grips us as we watch you die
    All we can do is echo your anguished cry and
    Stare as all you human feelings die
    We are leaving
    You don't need us
    Go and take a sister by her hand
    Lead her far from this foreign land
    Somewhere where we might laugh again
    We are leaving
    You don't need us
    Sailing ships on the water very free and easy
    Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
    Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
    Very free
    And gone
    NO C'MON
    GO RIDE THE MUSIC
    C'MON RIDE IT CHILD

    Eskimo blue day nach oben

    Snow cuts loose from the frozen
    Until it joins with the African sea
    In moving it changes its cold and its name
    The reason I come and go is the same

    Animal game for me
    You call it rain
    But the human name
    Doesn't mean shit to a tree
    If you don't mind heat in your river and
    Fork tongue talking from me
    Swim like an eel fantastic snake
    Take my love when it's free
    Electric feel with me
    You call it loud
    But the human crowd
    Doesn't mean shit to a tree
    Change the strings and notes slide
    Change the bridge and string shift down
    Shift the notes and bride sings
    Fire eating people
    Rising toys of the sun
    Energy dies without body warm
    Icicles ruin your gun
    Water my roots the natural thing
    Natural spring to the sea
    Sulphur springs make my body float
    Like a ship made of logs from a tree
    Redwoods talk to me
    Say it plainly
    The human name
    Doesn't mean shit to a tree
    Snow called water going violent
    Damn the end of the stream
    Too much cold in one place breaks
    That's why you might know what I mean
    Consider how small you are
    Compared to your scream
    The human dream
    Doesn't mean shit to a tree

    A song for all seasons nach oben

    Well the word was out on the street today
    All the friends that I'd met would have to say
    While your records line the shelves
    You're fighting amongst yourselves
    That's a hell of a lot of dues for you to pay
    Well the word my friend you know is on the street
    It's on the lips of everyone I meet
    While you're climbin up the chart
    Your band just fell apart
    I guess your life just ain't really that complete
    You know your car with which I was impressed
    Well I hear that it's gonna be repossessed
    Well I thought you had it made
    But you ain't even paid
    For the things that you've bought
    Since the acid test
    I hear you manager skipped town with all your pay
    And your lead singer's bulge turns the censors grey
    Wall that's really a doggone shame But who's there left to blame
    And all you ever really wanted was just to play
    They say your drummer he's crazy as a loon
    Last night they found him baying at the moon
    As as for your lead guitar
    He just cracked up his car
    But he should be out of traction very soon
    Well my friend it's time for me to go
    I just can't be late for my evening show
    You see I've written this tune
    And I hope that very soon
    I'll be heard on Top 40 radio

    Volunteers nach oben

    Look what's happening out in the streets
    Got a revolution Got to revolution
    Hey I'm dancing down the streets
    Got a revolution Got to revolution
    Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
    Got a revolution Got to revolution
    One generation got old
    One generation got soul
    This generation got no destination to hold
    Pick up the cry
    Hey now it's time for you and me
    Got a revolution Got to revolution
    Come on now we're marching to the sea
    Got a revolution Got to revolution
    Who will take it from you
    We will and who are we
    We are volunteers of America
