VAN DIEMEN'S LANDHold me now, hold me nowTill this hour has gone aroundAnd I'm gone on the rising tideFor to face Van Diemen's landIt's a bitter pill I swallow hereTo be rent from one so dearWe fought for justice not for gainBut the magistrate sent me awayNow kings will rule and the poor will toilAnd tear their hands as they tear the soilBut a day will come in the dawning ageWhen an honest man sees an honest wageHold me now, hold me nowTill this hour has gone aroundAnd I'm gone on the rising tideFor to face Van Diemen's landStill the gunman rules and the widows payA scarlet coat and a black beretThey thought that blood and sacrificeCould out of death bring forth a lifeHold me now, hold me nowTill this hour has gone aroundAnd I'm gone on the rising tideFor to face Van Diemen's land

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER (Bob Dylan)"There must be some way out of here,"said the joker to the thief,"There's too much confusion,I can't get no relief.Businessmen they drink my wine,plowman dig my earth,None of them along the line knowwhat any of it is worth.""No need to get excited," the thief,he kindly spoke,"There are many hereamong us who thinkthat life is but a joke.But you and I, we've been through that,and that is not our fate,So let us not talk falsely now,the hour is getting late."All along the watchtower, princes kept the viewWhile all the women came and went,barefoot servants, too.Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FORI have climbed the highest mountainsI have run through the fieldsOnly to be with youOnly to be with youI have run I have crawledI have scaled these city wallsOnly to be with youBut I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking forBut I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking forI have kissed honey lipsFelt the healing in her fingertipsIt burned like fireThis burning desireI have spoke with the tongue of angelsI have held the hand of a devilIt was warm in the nightI was cold as a stoneBut I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking forBut I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking forI believe in the Kingdom ComeThen all the colors will bleed into oneBut yes I'm still running.You broke the bondsYou loosened the chainsYou carried the crossAnd my shameAnd my shameYou know I believed itBut I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking forBut I still haven't foundWhat I'm looking for

SILVER AND GOLDIn the shit house, a shotgunPraying hands hold me downIf only the hunter was huntedIn this tin can town,No stars in the black nightLooks like the sky fall down,No sun in the daylightLooks like it's chained to the ground.Broken back to the ceilingBroken nose to the floorI scream at the silenceThat crawls under the door (under the floor).Chorus:The warden says,"The exit is sold,"If you want a way out - silver and gold.Silver and gold.There's a rope around my neckThere's a trigger in your gunJesus say something!I am someone!I seen the coming and goingThe captains and the kingsTheir navy blue uniformsThem bright and shiny thingsYes, captains and kings in the slave ships holdThey came to collectSilver and goldSilver and goldThe temperature is risingThe fever white hotMister I ain't got nothingBut it's more than you've gotThese chains no longer bind meNor the shackles at my feetOutside are the prisonersInside the free (set them free).A prize fighter in a corner is toldHit where it hurts - silver and goldSilver and gold.You can stop the world from turning aroundYou just gotta pay a penny in the pound.
PrideOne man come in the name of love,One man come and go.One come here to justify,One man to overthrow,In the name of love,What more in the name of love.One man crawled on a barb wire fence,One man he resist.One man washed on an empty beach.One man betrayed with a kiss.In the name of love,What more in the name of love.Early morning, April 4.A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.Free at last, they took your life,But they could not take your pride.In the name of love,What more in the name of love.
ANGEL OF HARLEMIt was a cold and wet December dayWhen we touched down at JFKSnow was melting on the groundOn BLS I heard the sound (of an Angel)New York like a Christmas treeI said tonight this city belongs to me (Angel)Soul love this love won't let me goSo long...Angel of HarlemBirdland on 53The street sounds like a symphonyWe got John Coltrane and a love supremeMiles and she has to be an AngelLady Day got diamond eyesShe sees the truth behind the lies (Angel)Soul love this love won't let me goSo long...Angel of HarlemBlue light on the avenueGod knows they got to youAn empty glass, the lady singsEyes swollen like a bee stingBlinded you lost your wayOn the side streets and the alleywaysLike a star exploding in the nightFilling up the city with broad daylightAn Angel in Devil's shoesSalvation in the bluesYou never looked like an AngelSo long...Angel of HarlemAngel, Angel of Harlem (4 times and fade)
LOVE RESCUE MELove rescue meCome forth and speak to meRaise me up and don't let me fallNo man is my enemyMy own hands imprison meLove rescue meMany strangers have I metOn the road to my regretMany lost who seek to find themselves in meThey ask me to revealThe very thoughts they would concealLove rescue meAnd the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and IStretching out as the sun sinks in the seaI'm here without a name in the place of my shameLove rescue meIn the cold mirror of a glassI see my reflection passI see the dark shades of what I used to beI see the purple of her eyesThe scarlet of my liesLove rescue meAnd the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and IStretching out as the sun sinks in the seaI'm hanging by my thumbsI'm ready for whatever comesLove rescue meYea though I walk through the valley of shadowYet I will fear no evilI have cursed thy rod and staffThey no longer comfort meLove rescue meSha la la sha la laSha la la sha la laI've conquered my pastThe future is here at lastI stand at the entranceTo a new world I can seeThe ruins to the right of meWill soon have lost sight of meLove rescue me
WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWNI was a sailor, I was lost at seaI was under the waves before love rescued meI was a fighter, I could turn on a threadBut I stand accused of the things I've saidChorus:When love comes to townI want to jump that trainWhen love comes to townI want to catch that flameMaybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did, before love came to townI used to make love under a red sunsetI was making promises I was soon to forgetShe was pale as the lace of her wedding gownBut I left her standing before love came to townI ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar screamThe notes were turning blueWhen I fell into a dreamAs the music played I saw my life turn aroundThat was the day before love came to townChorus twiceI was there when they crucified my LordI held the scabbard when the soldier drew his swordI threw the dice when they pierced his sideBut I've seen love conquer the great divideChorus
HEARTLANDSee the sunrise over her skinDon't change itSee the sunrise over her skinDawn changes everythingAnd the delta sun burns bright and violetMississippi and the cotton wool heatSixty-six the highway that speaksOf deserts dryOf cold grey valleysOf golden sunny heightsOf bright shining citiesIn this heartlandIn this heartlandIn this heartlandHeaven knows this is a heartlandSee the sunrise over her skinShe feels like water on my handFreeway like a river cuts through this landInto the side of loveLike a burning spearAnd the poison rainBrings a flood of fearThrough the ghost-ranch hillsDeath valley watersIn the towers of steelBelief goes on and onIn this heartlandIn this heartlandIn this heartlandHeaven knows this is a heartland

BULLET THE BLUE SKYIn the howling wind comes a stinging rainSee it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain>From the firefly, a red orange glowSee the face of fear running scared in the valley belowBullet the blue skyBullet the blue skyBullet the blueBullet the blueIn the locust wind comes a rattle and humJacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcomePlant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fireSee them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higherBullet the blue skyBullet the blue skyBullet the blueBullet the blueThis guy comes up to meHis face red like a rose on a thorn bushLike all the colors of a royal flushAnd he's peeling off those dollar billsSlapping them downOne hundred, two hundredAnd I can see those fighter planesAnd I can see those fighter planesAcross the mud huts where the children sleepThrough the alleys of a quiet city streetTake the staircase to the first floorTurn the key and slowly unlock the doorAs a man breathes into a saxophoneThrough the walls we hear the city groanOutside it's AmericaOutside it's AmericaAcross the field you see the sky ripped openSee the rain come through the gaping woundPounding on the women and childrenwho run into the arms of America
