The road is empty,
The subway lies ahead,
There is no music all the sounds have gone dead.
The day is misty,
There's no life around,
'Cause there's something wrong in this town.

Out in the distance,

. You're not the great romantic
Crystal juke-box queen
You're not my old adolescent dream
You're not my spiritual gypsy
My fifty Chevy Machine
You're not my old adolescent dream

There's a finger on the dial,
The lucky wheel goes round,
Little joker knows he can't escape.
The same time every year,
The fun fair's back in town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape.

Fifty eight, fifty six, fifty four

Be not too hard for life is short
And nothing is given to man
Be not too hard if he's sold or bought
For he must do the best he can

Be not too hard when he blindly dies
Fighting for things he does not own
Be not too hard when he tells lies

Blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
Blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
(blinded by the light)
(wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night)

Madman, drummers, bummers,

Brother, why are you here?
Brother, why are you here?
Captain Bobby Stout done found me out
Now I owe that man one more year

Yes, I owe the man one more year

First came down to Wichita Town

Way back there an explosion of hope
Hit out hard in a furnace of steel
I thought life was a fire
I thought life was a high time
(I thought life was a fire)
I thought life was a symbol
(I thought life was for livin)
I thought life was for livin

Hey, it's still a beautiful day ... and nothing changing that.
This is song for you, it's two songs all wrapped up into one
You ready? Let's have some fun, come on !
...

There is a house in New Orleans ...

Get up in the morning, and I ain't got nothing to say

Davy's on the road again wearin' different clothes again
Davy's turning handouts down to keep his pockets clean
All his goods are sold again his word's as good as gold again
Sez if you see Jean now ask her please to pity me

Jean and I, we moved along since the day down in the hollow
When the mind went driftin' on and the feet were soon to follow

Tied to the tracks
And the trains just coming
Strapped to the wing
With the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
Don't mess around with the demolition man

I'm a walking nightmare

Dragons rage outside your door
But I'm on my way to save you
Demons wage unholy war
But I'm on my way to save you

But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line

There she was just a-walkin' down the street
Singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet
Singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do

She looked good, looked good
She looked fine, looked fine
She looked good, she looked fine

This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen,
One bud only just started to show,
And the leaves are the lightest green.
It's had it's share of the rain,
It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again,
But one cruel lie and it could die.

Listen all around
Symphony of sound will take you
Drifting down through your dreams
In an endless stream

Singing through the air
On its wings of fiery silence
The melody comes crystal clear

At night - they will think they have seen the sun
When they see the mad half pig man
At night - screams, battles seen fought in the sky
And beasts will be heard to speak

CHORUS

Man, man your time is sand

Father of night, Father of day,
Father, who taketh the darkness away,
Father, who teacheth the bird to fly,
Builder of rainbows up in the sky,
Father of loneliness and pain,
Father of love and Father of rain.

Father of day, Father of night,

Princess cards she sends me with her regards,
Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy
To see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her cheshire smile I'll stand on file
She's all I ever wanted
You let your blue walls stand in the way of these facts, honey
Get your carpet baggers off my back

Once upon a time, on a quiet summer's evening an old man was rowing an old boat across an ancient lake.

A little frog jumped up onto the end of the boat, and the frog said to the old man, "Old man, if you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful young princess and you can do whatever you want with me."

And the old man smiled at the frog and kept on rowing his old boat across the ancient lake.

And the frog said again, "Old man, if you kiss me I will turn into a beautiful young princess, and you can do whatever you want with me and I'll do whatever you want."

Sometime after seven there's a knock knock knocking at my door
Someone's out there yelling, "I can't take it any more"
He's waving round a gun it's a magnum 20 42
He said "It's full of bullets and I saved them all for you"

And I screamed "Get me out of this dream"
And I yelled "Get me out of this hell"

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Going underground

Some people might say my life is in a rut, I'm quite happy with what I
got. People might say that I should strive for more, I'm so happy I
can't see the point, something's happening here today, a show of
strength with your boys brigade, and I'm so happy and your so kind, you
want more money of course I don't mind, to buy nuclear textbooks for
atomic crimes.

I lay dreamin'
Electronic healer
Plugged in the groove
Not a thought in my head
Oh, you shook me away girl
Remember words that you said
Have a taste of another kind of fruit boy
Why not make all your dreams come all real

Down, down in Hollywood town,
The lost and found come to find their way,
Walking outside, feelings they hide,
Putting their pride through well known paces,
Stepping on stars and shining on cars,
Passing by, their heads are high,
But their hearts are low down,
Dragging as they go,

Darkness, Darkness, Darkness
In the beginning
Solar light warm as ice
Started everything living
Lightning, striking
Every life springs from light
From the waters come swimming

Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others are jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna jump for joy

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

You're on the run from the Law
You weren't happy, had to have much more
Now the heat is on
The heat is on
Don't look back
Hideaway

LOVER LOVER WHY DO YOU PUSH
WHY DO YOU PUSH, WHY DO YOU PUSH
BABY BABY, DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME

I'VE BEEN STANDING AT THE BACK OF YOUR LIFE
BACK ROW CENTRE JUST ABOVE THE ICE
PLEASE DON'T ASK ME HOW I'VE BEEN GETTING OFF
NO PLEASE DON'T ASK ME HOW I'VE BEEN GETTING OFF

See the morning dancer, crossing the sky,
Turning gold to amber travelling by
He must know the answer
He must know why.
Looking for an answer look to the sky.

Shadows getting shorter filling your sight
Brightly burning starfire, life giving light

Crazy Janey and her mission man
Were back in the alley trading hands
Along came Wild Billy with his friend Gee Man
All duded up for Saturday night

Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes, said
Anybody wanna go to Greasy Lake
It's a mile down on the dark side of Route 88

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Starbird

Starbird, let your cry lead us all through the night
Rising from the ashes, your light'll show us the way
Starbird, you can fly me, take me everywhere you go
Raring with the windsong, burning in your fiery glow
Screaming through the darkness
Raring with the windsong

I'm jealous of the people, the people I fall in love with, fall in love with
I'm jealous of the people, the people I try to be more like, try to be more like
I'm even jealous of the people who hate me, hate me more

The complete history of sexual jealousy parts 17 to 24

I'm jealous of the man, the man you broke the heart of, broke the heart of
I'm jealous of the man you knew before in the life that I can never be a part of

By the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and
Wept for these I am
We remember, we remember, we
Remember these I am

A golden helmet blinded minds
Among ten thousand swords

Honey there's something I've got to say to you
Oh I know I haven't told you before
But it wasn't until the other night
When you told me you loved me
That I felt that I should tell you this

You got a smile so bright
You know, you could have been a candle

Life passes slowly just this side of paradise
Eyes watching skies with salt water rain
There you stay watching day follow day
Living lonely and only just this side of paradise
Oh, it's easy to see when the moon passes by
And a cloud dies in a clear black sky

Living lonely and 9only this side of paradise

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Time is right

Sitting on this spinning top
Hoping time ain't gonna stop
Watching moons come turning round
Hoping time ain't slowing down
Just no place to run and hide
Time is right for quittin'time

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Tumbling Ball

Maybe I'll remember
The old house standing on the avenue
Till the day I die
Maybe I'll remember
The kids coming home from the playground
Sand in their shoes and their mother's eyes

Visionary mountains
Above and afar
Like answers to questions
Of life, Love
Love and the longing to survive

Truth though distorted
Are words I create

Waiting for the rain,
Waiting for the rain,

You told me you were gonna make it,
You told me you were gonna win,
And I believed it was true,
Yes I believed, I believed in you.

You are - you are - you are
You are - you are

You are the moment Martha's mad man
came out of the darkness

You are - you are -you are

You are, You are
You are the moment Martha's Madman came out of the darkness
You are the eyeglass of the clearly nearly blind
You are the footprint in the sand of Easter Island
You are the fusion of the furnace of the sun

I am the captain cried across the lonely sea
I am and I'll be what I'll be
