...Got any advice?
None i am sure you would adhere
experience best.
Experience best
When young enough to believe
Enthusiasm.
Got any advice?
No, I've not, shut up your voice,
and don't warn the vice.
And don't warn the Vice
President he's going to
Get the axe today
Get the axe today,
Cut down the cherry tree and
Then don't lie to Dad.
Then don't lie to Dad.
You all know how he hates that.
Is the truth so hard?
Is the truth so hard?
Yes, when it's followed by blows
From a heavy hand.
From a heavy hand --
surprising kindness. A touch
of love, not anger.
<she says wishfully>
of love, not anger
my angry words spew out.
but how do you know?
But what do you know?
What lurks in the hearts of men?
The Shadow knows...it.
the shadow knows it
the dark thoughts you would say aloud
the fear of ones self
the shadow knows it
the dark thoughts you won't say aloud
the fear of ones self
the fear of ones self
you let the world chain your soul
you were once wild here
you were once wild here
do not let the jealous tame you
let your soul be free
Let your soul be free
As the bluebird soaring up
Above the dull cornfields
Above the dull cornfields(okay 6 syllables here :-) )
fly the ravenous blace crow
waiting to descend.
Waiting to descend
Is the gloom of depression
On the holidays
(apologies for the 6th syllable earlier - the phone rang! Lame excuse but true!)
On the holidays
They frolicked on Dartmoor and
Swam in the river.
Swam in the river
Despite all the pollution
So we could cool off
so we could cool off
the flames of passion consuemed us
we must part our souls
