Be not so nervous, be not so frail
Someone watches you, you will not fail
Be not so nervous, be not so frail
Be not so nervous, be not so frail

Be not so sorry for what you've done
You must forget them now, it's done
And when you wake up you will find you can run

Light the candle, please dont speak
Open the window, let some air in
Im on the run, from the news on the TV
No lessons learned, all over the centuries
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over again
I pour a drink, I need one

Someone came and took Camille away today
Everybody who watched had so much to say
Looking at the ground she hid her face
Still refusing to scream out her hate

She was everybody’s private property
You could read their minds “she belongs to me”
They would speak of her so jealously

Yonder is the way
Yonder the day
Clouds o’er Cannons Plain
Dawn rain

Are you going home?
You’ve set off down that road
Yonder is the way

Please don't take the sun from the sky
Don't let them damage my eyes
Please don't let my marigolds die
Though I well know they're not mine

Hey don't let no one get you down
Hey don't let no one get you down

Doris comes today
And we’re going to play
Purcell’s suite in A

Doris plays double bass
With a smile upon her face
Oh it’s such a sight to see

Listen now, listen now
To the high wind blowing
Through the tree
Listen now, listen now
All in between,
They got to fold
To make way,
For the little baby shoes

I’m planting myself in the garden
Believe me
Between the potatoes and parsley
Believe me

And I’ll wait for the rain to anoint me
And the frost to awaken my soul
I’m looking for lasting relations

Willie was a sailor
He sailed on the sea
And Willie said a sailor’s life
Is the life for me
But they sent him into battle
For to lay down his life
And Willie said a sailor’s life is not for me

Goodnight Stan, mind how go,going home tonight
If you can take a watering can to protect yourself
Soon they say they are taking us away to another place
Up to the stars, was the name Mars? Or was it Jupiter?

Goodnight Stan, mind how you go, going home tonight
If you can take a watering can to protect yourself
Goodnight Stan, mind how you go, going home tonight

Inside the keeper's pantry
Spied an air hole and got away
Outside a horse was standing
And though the night was dark I rode away

I arrived in time to see the harbour sailing away
No, no, no you never left me

What mirth maketh you sailor?
Quietly laughing to yourself
You with your no wind in the rigging
Laughing into the sails

Spying out the humour
Playing with breezes you do not understand

Methane River will not let me pass
I cannot cross it, it blocks my path
I cannot make it
I cannot make it

I’ve swum rivers of flowing water
But this is methane, I know it’s poison
I cannot make it

You can catch the morning train or you can take a plane
You can go by boat or road, from coast to coast
You can travel anywhere, through wind or rain
But you just might miss the train that counts the most

You can travel anywhere, through wind or rain
But you just might miss the train that counts the most

You watch the candle burning
You stand inside the flame
You thought you were a light bulb
You`ve never known your age
Or the number of the page

And though you`ve seldom travelled
You`ve rode upon the world

In the papers, on the TV screens
Pictures of Adolf again
As sure as I sit here there will appear
Pictures of Adolf again

You're wrong, you're wrong
Throw down your cards
You're wrong, you're wrong

Offer your sherry to somebody else
I’ve got nothing to say
‘Cept my wife’s in the bedroom with everyone else
But I don’t want to play

Will you stop asking me who I am?
Go and find someone else
To tell your jokes to

Sing us one of your songs, May
The ones you know so well
Sing us one of your songs, May
You know we love you well
Dry the tears from your eyes, May
What’s it gonna be?
For you know he’s gone to heaven, May
Though he was only 23

If you want to build a shed
Go ahead and build a shed
And if you want to ride a bike
Ride your bike, if you like

But don't pick your nose
Or your ears'll grow, don't you know?

Peace be in your breath and in your sighing
Peace be in your jack and in your blade
And peace be in your Sunday picnic
And your old school friends who've passed away

But tell it like it is
Tell it like it is
Tell it like it is

It's time to leave and say goodbye
At least for now
You fought the battle most of your life
And you're still fighting now

Soon you'll be leaving for the coast
But it's a coast no man can tell
It's the end of life on this earth

The never ending happening
Of what's to be and what has been
Just to be a part of it
Is astonishing to me
The never ending happening
Of waves crashing against the cliffs
The falling seed the wind carries
The never ending happening

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

"Tally ho, let`s go", said the leader of the chase
"Ole ole", said the fantastic toreador

And the sun goes down
Never to rise again
It was getting bored
With the same old faces

I must stand by the side of the mountain
I must be where I know I must be
When you stand and face the gas masks and truncheons
You must know what it all really means
It is the time of the last persecution
And Caesar shall be raised
He will ask for his feet to be kissed by your sister
And your children will fear at his name

Bill Fay - Who Is The Sender? [2015]

All the leaves are falling
where the hedgehogs hiding
and a bee buzzes by
makes me feel like crying
hear the song of warning
from the blackbird calling

We have laid here
We have laid here
We have laid here before

We have laid here
We have laid here
We have laid here before

These are the games that we want you to play
We are your friends and we want you to stay
I said O.K. I will try

But as time passed by all the games grew so hard
Each day a hundred more friends did arrive
And I took to watching the clouds
