2.Jack
Verse 1:
Jack would stand one
Foot in front of the
Other foot and then
Lick his lips again
The train came past about
Three o'clock or so
His mother told him so
All the kids should know
His hand was sore from
All the gravel rash
Would he get it back
It looked just like the tracks
He must not take his shoes off yet
His mother told him this
Chorus:
Would there be hope someday
Or would his spark slowly fade
This the boy who would smile
When his heart was in pain
And his simple mind
Would be settled in grace
When he knelt down and spoke
To his father in his grave
Verse 2:
The boys would hide
Behind the tea tree
The ugly tea tree
The fucking tea tree
They'd all jump out and
Jack would smile at them
And then they'd smirk at him
And kick stones at him
The first punch came from
The big fat one
Then all the other ones
He wondered what he'd done
He'd end up in the little frog pond
Beside the railway line
Chorus:
Would there be hope someday
Or would his spark slowly fade
This the boy who would smile
When his heart was in pain
And his simple mind
Would be settled in grace
When he knelt down and spoke
To his father in his grave
Na na na naa
Ohh na na na...
Verse 3:
And then one day the
Big fat one
Was drowning in the pond
And crying for his mum
And jack came down
And he pulled him out again
And then he put his hands
Over his simple head
And all the frogs went
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
Yes all the frogs went
La de da de da
La de da de da de da
Chorus:
Would there be hope someday
Or would his spark slowly fade
This the boy who would smile
When his heart was in pain
And his simple mind
Would be settled in grace
When he knelt down and spoke
To his father in his grave
Na na na na..
Outro:
All the frogs go
La de da de da
All teh frogs go
La de da de da
All teh frogs go
La de da de da
All the frogs go
La de da de da
Yes all the frogs go
La de da de da
All teh frogs go
La de da da
Yes all the frogs go
La de da da
All the frogs go
La de da de da
All the frogs go
La de da de da
All teh frogs go
La de da de daaaaaaa
3.The Letter
Songwriters:Bix Reichner, Sid Wayne
I sit by my window
With everything I've done
Doors that I've opened
And webs that I've spun
And the candle beside me
Burns to the left
And the rain on the clay
Sends a lizard to its nest
And there'll be a time
When I will hold you again
With my arms spread out
On my chest, you will rest
I'll write you a letter
With everything I know
About the weight of the world
And the way things could go
So give up, my friend
Step back again
For some things will be given
For some you'll have to bend
You'll have to bend, my friend
To hold on to this
For some things will come easy
And some will be a test
You'll have to bend
Now the ocean connects me
To everything I know
By mellowing my mind
So my heart, it can call
With these trees as my witness
I'll slice up some fruit
And each to their peaceful
Good intentions and truth
There will be a time
When I will hold you again
With my arms spread out
I will dive right in
So now here is your letter
With everything I know
About the weight of the world
And the way things could go
So give up, my friend
Step back again
For some things will be given
For some you'll have to bend
You'll have to bend, my friend
To hold on to this
For some things will come easy
And some will be a test
You'll have to bend
Now the ocean connects me
To everything I know
By mellowing my mind
So my heart, it can call
With these trees as my witness
I'll slice up some fruit
And each to their peaceful
Good intentions and truth
There will be a time
When I will hold you again
With my arms spread out
I will dive right in
So now here is your letter
With everything I know
About the weight of the world
And the way things could go
4.Famine
Lyricist:Frederick Hibbert
Well, I wake up early one morning
And I went down to Spanish Town
To look for a friend of mine
Who's called Seminaya
Then we started to have a little talk
About everything
About the situation
And this is what he said
He told me, â½Famine, famine, famine
Famine on the land
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, highâ
It's really so high, high, high
Sky high
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, high
So I went down to Old Harbour
To look for my brother John
To ask him how is life
And things and things and things
Oh, we started to have a little talk
About everything
About the situation
And this is what he said
He told me, â½Famine, famine, famine
Famine's on the land
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, highâ
It's really so high, high, high
Sky high
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, high
So I went down to Clarendon
To look for my family
To a little street called Treadlight
Is where I was born
Oh, and we started to have a little talk
Together, together
About the situation
And this is what they said
They told me, â½Famine, famine, famine
Famine on the land
Because the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, highâ
It's really so high, high, high
Sky high
'Cause the cost of living
Is getting so high, high, high
