Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow
Where is Mona?
She's long gone
Where is Mary?
She's taken her along
But they haven't put their mittens on
And there's fifteen feet of pure white snow?
Where is Michael?
Where is Mark?
Where is Mathew
Now it's getting dark?
Where is John? They are all out back
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Would you please put down that telephone
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow
I waved to my neighbour
My neighbour waved to me
But my neighbour
Is my enemy
I kept waving my arms
Till I could not see
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is anybody
Out there please?
It's too quiet in here
And I'm beginning to freeze
I've got icicles hanging
From my knees
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is there anybody here who feels this low?
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Doctor, Doctor
I'm going mad
This is the worst day
I've ever had
I can't remember
Ever feeling this bad
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Where's my nurse
I need some healing
I've been paralysed
By a lack of feeling
I can't even find
Anything worth stealing
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is there anyone else here who doesn't know?
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
She's long gone
Where is Mary?
She's taken her along
But they haven't put their mittens on
And there's fifteen feet of pure white snow?
Where is Michael?
Where is Mark?
Where is Mathew
Now it's getting dark?
Where is John? They are all out back
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Would you please put down that telephone
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow
I waved to my neighbour
My neighbour waved to me
But my neighbour
Is my enemy
I kept waving my arms
Till I could not see
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is anybody
Out there please?
It's too quiet in here
And I'm beginning to freeze
I've got icicles hanging
From my knees
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is there anybody here who feels this low?
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Doctor, Doctor
I'm going mad
This is the worst day
I've ever had
I can't remember
Ever feeling this bad
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Where's my nurse
I need some healing
I've been paralysed
By a lack of feeling
I can't even find
Anything worth stealing
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is there anyone else here who doesn't know?
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
And Also The Trees - Virus Meadow
Rattled chime, slow ringing echo
Roll around in virus meadow
Suck enchanted nightshade twine
Hear the bells beneath us chime
Sinking sermon, priest head murmurs
Holy words across the meadows
Kissed the plagues' black rolling hand
Through his lips the virus sang
And the rooks, they seemed to follow him
Wherever he goes
Flapping in the flat sky
Shrieking in the spire
Hanging from the lead sky
Dangling from the sun
The rooks, they seemed to follow him
Wherever he goes
Nodding thistle, english sun dew
Swansneck woman, child-bed meadow
Aching shoulders sink and grow
As the bells from ditches toll
And the smeared skin wrapped limbs
Of the night brothers
Struggling.... crawling
Through the empty crack of morning
Of the night brothers...
Of the night brothers....
Roll around in virus meadow

And the smeared skin wrapped limbs

Struggling.... crawling
Through the empty crack of morning
Of the night brothers...
Of the night brothers....

Joni Mitchell - Nathan La Franeer (1968)
Από τον πρώτο της δίσκο Song To A Seagull
I hired a coach to take me from confusion to the plane
And though we shared a common space I know I'll never meet again
The driver with his eyebrows furrowed in the rear-view mirror
I read his name and it was plainly written Nathan La Franeer
I asked him would he hurry
But we crawled the canyons slowly
Through the buyers and the sellers
Through the burglar bells and the wishing wells
With gangs and girly shows
The ghostly garden grows
The cars and buses bustled through the bedlam of the day
I looked through window-glass at streets and Nathan grumbled at the grey
I saw an aging cripple selling Superman balloons
The city grated through chrome-plate
The clock struck slowly half-past-noon
Through the tunnel tiled and turning
Into daylight once again I am escaping
Once again goodbye
To symphonies and dirty trees
With parks and plastic clothes
The ghostly garden grows
He asked me for a dollar more
He cursed me to my face
He hated everyone who paid to ride
And share his common space
I picked my bags up from the curb
And stumbled to the door
Another man reached out his hand
Another hand reached out for more
And I filled it full of silver
And I left the fingers counting
And the sky goes on forever
Without meter maids and peace parades
You feed it all your woes
The ghostly garden grows
I hired a coach to take me from confusion to the plane
And though we shared a common space I know I'll never meet again
The driver with his eyebrows furrowed in the rear-view mirror
I read his name and it was plainly written Nathan La Franeer
I asked him would he hurry
But we crawled the canyons slowly
Through the buyers and the sellers
Through the burglar bells and the wishing wells
With gangs and girly shows
The ghostly garden grows
The cars and buses bustled through the bedlam of the day
I looked through window-glass at streets and Nathan grumbled at the grey
I saw an aging cripple selling Superman balloons
The city grated through chrome-plate
The clock struck slowly half-past-noon
Through the tunnel tiled and turning
Into daylight once again I am escaping
Once again goodbye
To symphonies and dirty trees
With parks and plastic clothes
The ghostly garden grows
He asked me for a dollar more
He cursed me to my face
He hated everyone who paid to ride
And share his common space
I picked my bags up from the curb
And stumbled to the door
Another man reached out his hand
Another hand reached out for more
And I filled it full of silver
And I left the fingers counting
And the sky goes on forever
Without meter maids and peace parades
You feed it all your woes
The ghostly garden grows

Ars Nova - And How Am I To Know (1968)
You're not hearing what I say
Oh, no, your mind's on something else
And how am I to know
Oh, yeah, I'll wait around and see
Cause lately have you lost
Keeping has forgotten me
And now you smile and touch my hand
Oh, no, you don't want to understand
And even as I try to speak
Oh, you put your finger to my lips
And at my fingertips
the moment's gone again
Oh, if you just tell me, yes
Let me go
And how am I to know
You're not hearing what I say
Oh, no, your mind's on something else
And how am I to know
Oh, yeah, I'll wait around and see
Cause lately have you lost
Keeping has forgotten me
Bent Wind - Riverside
She walks to the banks of the riverside
She has the feeling, here she will die
Her tears, they slowed, she broke a smile
The pain increasing all the while
The pain increasing all the while
Dismounting there, from my steed I sped
To aid this maiden, whose life had bled
I'll set you free, then she cried
As I walked to the banks of the riverside
I walk to the banks of the riverside
Her eyes they glared, ten miles high
Her mind was blown, just as wide
Can't save her now, she's already died
You'll find her remains at the riverside
I balled her there at the riverside

Current 93 - When The May Rain Comes
Green are the streets
The asphalt is glistening
When the dust of the day
Will be washed away
The windows are closed
And the rain is dripping
From sill to sill
And down to the ground
When the May rain comes...
Very young are the leaves
Of the trees and the shrubs
And tiny flowers grow!
In the roadside ditch
The laughter of a child
Who's jumping into puddles
Whilst the water trickles
Right over her face
When the May rain comes...
And this is the morning of the year
A rainy green smile
After a long gloomy
Pale winter night
The shouting of the child
Melts into rustling
When the heavy rain
Rushes
From on the high
When the May rain comes
All of this shall be washed away
When the May rain comes..
The asphalt is glistening
When the dust of the day
Will be washed away
The windows are closed
And the rain is dripping
From sill to sill
And down to the ground
When the May rain comes...
Very young are the leaves
Of the trees and the shrubs
And tiny flowers grow!
In the roadside ditch
The laughter of a child
Who's jumping into puddles
Whilst the water trickles
Right over her face
When the May rain comes...
And this is the morning of the year
A rainy green smile
After a long gloomy
Pale winter night
The shouting of the child
Melts into rustling
When the heavy rain
Rushes
From on the high
When the May rain comes
All of this shall be washed away
When the May rain comes..

Ramases - Children of the Green Earth
Come to the star field get there tonight
Come to the star field we’ll get there soon
Come to the star field blazing with light
Come to the star field on the other side of the light
Gold in the summers, gold in the dawn
Gold in the hand on the rod you have worn
Body of Isis, softer within
Now on the wings of your flight you begin
Children, children of the green Earth
What makes your mind to run with mirth
Children, children of the green Earth
What makes you want to give birth
Children, children of the bright sun
What makes your feet so fast to run
Children, children of the bright sun
What makes ideas so quickly, quickly come.
Children, children of the bright star
What makes your eyes to see so far
Children, children of the bright star
Will you know just who and what you are
Children, children of the great sky
What makes your wings so quickly fly
Children, children of the great sky
Where will you go to when you die
Come to the star field get there tonight
Come to the star field we’ll get there soon
Come to the star field blazing with light
Come to the star field on the other side of the light
Come to the star field we’ll get there soon
Come to the star field blazing with light
Come to the star field on the other side of the light
Gold in the summers, gold in the dawn
Gold in the hand on the rod you have worn
Body of Isis, softer within
Now on the wings of your flight you begin
Children, children of the green Earth
What makes your mind to run with mirth
Children, children of the green Earth
What makes you want to give birth
Children, children of the bright sun
What makes your feet so fast to run
Children, children of the bright sun
What makes ideas so quickly, quickly come.
Children, children of the bright star
What makes your eyes to see so far
Children, children of the bright star
Will you know just who and what you are
Children, children of the great sky
What makes your wings so quickly fly
Children, children of the great sky
Where will you go to when you die
Come to the star field get there tonight
Come to the star field we’ll get there soon
Come to the star field blazing with light
Come to the star field on the other side of the light

The Byrds - Wild Mountain Thyme
Oh the summer time is coming and the leaves are sweetly turning
And the wild mountain thyme blooms across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
If you will not go with me I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme all across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And the wild mountain thyme blooms across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
If you will not go with me I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme all across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we'll all go together to pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go

Country Joe & the Fish - Pat's Song
Bring flowers and ring them 'round her grass hair
Bring leaves from the mountain and boxes of air
Bring baskets of food and things you can share
And the moon will shine in her eyes.
She will stand in the sea with her body like sand
And the dolphins will come kiss the palms of her hands
As she opens her soul to the water and land
Her smiles will color the sky.
With bottles of light and sacks of clay
With music to dance and songs to play
With lemons and candles you'll see the way
That the moon will shine in her eyes.
She will fly on the wind with her face to the sun
Children will dance all around her for fun
Just ask her for love and she'll give you some
For her smiles will color the sky.
Bring leaves from the mountain and boxes of air

Her smiles will color the sky.

Bill Fay-The Room
A room and all you can see are the walls so white
Not the colour of the floor all around you
And so you've gone to Paris and there you teach your heiress
To walk upon the waters forever
A room and all you can see is the floor so black
Not the colour of the ceiling above you
And so you've gone to Tangiers and there you taste the needle
That keeps you in your prison forever
A room and all you can see is everything shining
And so in time it will be forever
Forever, forever
Not the colour of the floor all around you
And so you've gone to Paris and there you teach your heiress
To walk upon the waters forever
A room and all you can see is the floor so black
Not the colour of the ceiling above you
And so you've gone to Tangiers and there you taste the needle
That keeps you in your prison forever
A room and all you can see is everything shining
And so in time it will be forever
Forever, forever

Townes Van Zandt - Kathleen
It's plain to see, the sun won't shine today
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I'll go insane
I got to stop the pain
Or maybe I'll go down to see kathleen.
A swallow comes and tells me of her dreams
She says she'd like to know just what they mean
I feel like I could die
As I watch her flying by
Ride the north wind down to see kathleen.
Stars hang high above, the oceans roar
The moon is come to lead me to her door
There's crystal across the sand
And the waves, they take my hand.
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet kathleen.
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet kathleen.
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I'll go insane
I got to stop the pain
Or maybe I'll go down to see kathleen.
A swallow comes and tells me of her dreams
She says she'd like to know just what they mean
I feel like I could die
As I watch her flying by
Ride the north wind down to see kathleen.
Stars hang high above, the oceans roar
The moon is come to lead me to her door
There's crystal across the sand
And the waves, they take my hand.
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet kathleen.
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet kathleen.

Allan Taylor - Down The Years I Travelled
Down the years I travelled,all the roads I saw
Life was changed forever from all that went before
A young man on his journey,I was one of the favoured few
Driving into the distance,coming into the new
I was coming into the new
Every city,town and highway became a home to me
To walk the streets and byways was where I had to be
And some chance conversation in any downtown bar
Became another travelling sone played on my guitar
I played on my guitar
The memories are with me still,but the days are passed and gone
I'm looking to the road ahead with a new day coming on
Maybe there are songs to come,maybe some will fall behind
I will leave them by the roadside for someone else to find
For someone else to find
Now the roads have come together and led me to this place
Some have gone forever and some have left a trace
It's coming 'round full circle to where it all began
I've got my songs and my guitar,and it's time to travel on
It's time to travel on

Richard Hawley-Troublesome Waters
Troublesome waters are blacker than night
Hiding from view the harbor light
Out on the ocean I see a man's despair
Awful sea monsters are waiting my wreck
Gently I feel the touch of his hand
Guiding my boat to that better land
Leading the way to land by the shore
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
On the high sea there's danger untold
Awful sea monsters stealing my soul
Under the water and I see a man
Guiding my boat to that better land
Gently I feel the touch of his hand
Guiding my boat to that better land
Leading the way to land by the shore
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more.
Hiding from view the harbor light
Out on the ocean I see a man's despair
Awful sea monsters are waiting my wreck
Gently I feel the touch of his hand
Guiding my boat to that better land
Leading the way to land by the shore
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
On the high sea there's danger untold
Awful sea monsters stealing my soul
Under the water and I see a man
Guiding my boat to that better land
Gently I feel the touch of his hand
Guiding my boat to that better land
Leading the way to land by the shore
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more.

Three Dog Night - Easy To Be Hard (1969)
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend
I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend
We all need a friend
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Easy to be cold
Easy to say no
Come on, easy to be mean
Easy to say no
Easy to be cold
Easy to say no
Much too easy to say no
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend
I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend
We all need a friend
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Easy to be cold
Easy to say no
Come on, easy to be mean
Easy to say no
Easy to be cold
Easy to say no
Much too easy to say no
