5.Song From The Bottom Of A Well

This is a song from the bottom of a well
There are things down here
I've got to try and tell;
It's dark and light at the very same time,
The water sometimes seems like wine.

I learned some information way down here
That might fill your heart and soul with fear;
But don't you worry, no don't be afraid ...
I'm not in the magical mystery trade.

My imagination begins to purr
As things don't happen, they just occur.
Softly crackling electrical smell,
There's something burning at the bottom of this well.

Sitting here alone i just have to laugh
I see all the universe as a comfortable bath;
I drown my body so my mind is free
To indulge in pleasurable fantasies.

There's something strange going on down here ..
A sickening implosion of mistrust and fear.
A vast corruption that's about to boil
A mixture of greed and the smell of oil.

This is a song from the bottom of a well
I didn't move here, i just fell.
But i'm not complaining, i don't even care
'cause if i'm not here, then it's not there.


6.Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes

I walked into this bar
And the man refused;
He said, 'we don't serve strangers
In blue suede shoes;
We don't give credit, and
We don't give way--
We have to think about what the people might say..
Uh, you know what i mean...'
I said, 'sure, man'

Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,
And i offered him one of my cigarettes.
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.
Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .

He said, 'my oh my, i have suffered too long,
And this cigarette seems to be very strong;
I don't make the rules
I just get what i take
And i guess every rule was made to break.
You can take what you like, it won't hurt me
Cause i'm just working for the company.'
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,
And said, 'i think i'll pick my travelling bag.

I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head
And filling the boss's bags with bread.
I want to get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on on skin again;
The world is large, and i've got time yet.
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
Thank you very much.'

'you know, i feel like a new man
Yes i do, i don't know why;
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much(indeed)
It's a beautiful day
I think i'll be on my way (right away)
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much.
Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here
Yes, i am - bye, bye.
That's the end of the message
Thank you very much.
Bye bye...


7.There Is Loving


8.Whatevershebringswesing

I'm looking 'round madly
For something to find
That might give se a front
To put something, something behind.

Just bouncing this ball
Up and down the hall
But it's full of best wishes
And suffocating fishes, and all.

So, let's drink some wine
And have a good time.
But if you really want to come through
Let the good time, good time have you.
It's what you've got to do.

You said it was foolish
For me to be sad;
But i'm very hungry, and you..
You're very well fed,
You're such a fat lady.

And i'm talking to you
Just for something to do
'cause i'd much rather kiss you
But i know, i'm gonna miss you
Again and again, i know i'm gonna miss you.

So, let's drink some wine, etc.

I sing to the island
That sings in your head
'cause i know you'd much rather be there
Be there instead.
I know you'd rather be there...

But you won't find the answer
Even when the wind blows;
'cause the answer, my friend
Is in front..
Right there in front of your nose
Everybody knows, it's their nose.

So, let's drink some wine, etc. (repeat)
