Just Keep Him Away !

4) I Will Wait (04:06)
I Will Wait For You Always
Even When the Sun Refuses To Shine
I Will Wait For You Until
the Waters Rise
Above My Head,
Holding My Breath
In A Watershed

Even Past the Echoes From the Edge
I Will Wait For You Until
To Give Us This Day
Our Daily Bread
Silences the Whispers
Of the Dead
I Will
So Why Don’t You Just Wake Up & Live ?
Angel Love, Messengers Of the Light
Angel Love, Messengers Of the Light

Love Unravels & Kisses
the Apocalypse &
Its Apples
I Will
Until the Crimson Tide
Is Satisfied That A Woman
In Love Won’t Be Denied
Her Will
So Why Don’t You Just Wake Up & Live ?
(Are You Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change ?)
5) Pretty Baby Prelude (00:44)
This song is dedicated to those who love.
And who wish no harm upon others
just because they may see a different world than the one you wish to live in.
There's a Place for all.
And there's a Peace for all.
And may we all find that Place.
And may we all find that Peace.
And may the poet inside your heart give your life a new lease.
6) Pretty Baby (02:52)
Once or twice in your life so far
Pretty Baby
I’ve seen you looking at the stars
Pretty Baby
and asking where the years have disappeared
hearts don’t break
they shatter
when love is all that matters
And I will wait for you
until the end of time
because I feel no charity
when you’re not here with me
Once or twice you may lose your way
Pretty Baby
Clouds may rain on your break of day
Pretty Baby
But I will love you darling anyway
These hands that select you
Will comfort and protect you
And I will wait for you
until the end of time
because I feel no charity
when you’re not here with me
7) Ben Dover (00:15)

You Came From Oklahoma
To Cross the Seas (Oklahoma)

9) The Things U Like (03:20)
Baby We Could Last All Night
Trying To Do the Things U Like
Baby We Can Close Our Eyes
& Let Imagination Rise
& Fill the Evening With Surprise
For the Things U Like
Baby We Can Fool Around
For U I’ll Be the Only Fool In Town
There Is Nothing Wrong Or Right
Trying To Do the Things U Like
What’s Better Than the Things U Like ?
Nothing At All
We Can Walk the Boulevards
While Dancing In the Rain
Listening To Our Beating Hearts
So That Our Love Is Not In Vain
While Trying To Keep Both the Sun & Moon
From Coming Up Too Soon
Baby We Can Hold Each Other Tight
While Trying To Do the Things U Like
We Can Feel the Flames Ignite
Trying To Do the Things U Like
What’s Better Than the Things U Like ?
Nothing At All
Maybe We’ll Just Fall Asleep
& Wake Up To the Birds
& Listen To Their Songs Repeat
To Understand the Words
While the Sun & Moon Both Retreat
To Keep From Coming Up Too Soon
Neptune Rises From the Sea
To Wave At U & Me
So That We Can Last All Night
Trying To Do the Things U Like
What’s Better Than the Things U Like ?
Nothing At All
Baby We Can Scratch & Bite
Trying To Do the Things U Like
What’s Better Than the Things U Like ?
Nothing At All
Nothing At All
10) Life Will Go On ! (03:33)
Life Will Go On
As It Goes On Every Day
Life Will Go On
In Each & Every Way
The Birds Fly Even When
Blue Skies Are Gray
Life Will Go On !
Life Will Go On
As Time Will Only Tell
Life Will Go On
Like A Horse On A Carousel
Going ‘Round & ‘Round Like
A Dream In A Wishing Well
Life Will Go On !
There’s A Snowman
In the Sky
Before It Falls
& It Comes In Pieces
When the Winter Calls
To Deck the Halls (with Holly)
Life Will Go On
Every Hour Is Not the Same
Life Will Go On
Every Flower Is Just A Flame
Dancing In the Sun & In the Rain
Life Will Go On !
Caterpillars Crawl
Before They Die
Until They Open
Their New Eyes
To Realize
Just How Time Flies
Life Will Go On
You Can Stay Forever Young
(Let it take your breath away)
Life Will Go On
You Can Sing It Like A Song
(Sing it every day)
It May Fade Until A New One
Comes Along
Whistling A Melody
Upon
The Ripples On the Lake Of
Madame Swan
Life Will Go On !
11) Pegasus & The Swan (05:41)
O Say Can You See ?
Pegasus & the Swan
Love Opens To the Wind
& If You Walk Right
You Can Walk Right In
Pegasus & the Swan
A Gift From Time’s
Imagination
A Gift For Poets To Rhyme
About Our Situation
Pegasus & the Swan
Look At the Lake From
Inside A Mirror
& Like A Hand In Glove
Our Love Couldn’t
Get Any Nearer
It Only Gets
Much Clearer
Pegasus & the Swan
Both Arise From the
Summer’s Surrender
To the Look In Your Eyes
When You Awaken
To the Morning’s Splendor
Then You Look At the Sun
Pushing Through the Clouds
That Surround It
Making the Sky More Blue
For A Better View
Just Like Your Daydreams
Found It
The Swan On the Lake
Puts Her Ripples On Parade
Pegasus & the Swan
Created By the Birth
Of the Seasons
They Will Not
Pass Us By
Not For Any Reason
We Were Made
For The Moon
Or We Fade
Alone In Our Rooms
Our Windows Closed
To the Winds
That Might Be Blowing In
A New Life To Begin
The Swan On the Lake
Puts Her Ripples On Parade
The Swan On the Lake
Why Not Give Us A Chance To Fly
On the Wings Of Love Before We Die ?
We’ll Sail Or We Will Sink Or Swim
On the Sea Of Love We’re Floating In
On the Lake Of Fire That Passion Inspires
It Sings Like A Choir
The Swan On the Lake
Follows the Rhythm That Love Makes
Pegasus Flying High
Singing Hello & Waving Goodbye
Beneath the Silver Dawn
For the Last Time
A Caterpillar Closes
Its Eyes
The Life That Its Known
Will Be Gone
But It Won’t Be
Too Long
Before It Opens
& Flies
With the Other
Butterflies
Towards A
New Sunrise
12) New World Forming (Visum Equus) (03:46)
There’s A Freedom That’s Arriving
You Can Feel It In Your Soul
Liberation Will Salute You
&
Release What No Longer Suits You
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
If I Say You’ll Live Forever
It’s Because I’ve Seen The Light
I Can See Your Transformation
Is A Cause For Celebration
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
You Were Never Quite Alone
You Were Always Right At Home
In The Beginning You Were
&
In The End You Shall Be
Shah La La Lu Jah
BE
Shah La La Lu Jah
Shah La La Lu Jah
Shah Shah
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
See The Sunlight Judges No One
Shines It’s Light On All The Same
Every New Star Will Befriend You
&
A New Grace Will Extend You
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
Wonderful Marvelous Is Love!

(Mr. Correcto) Anyway, not to embarrass you or condescend, but it's homage, not homage.
(The Artist) Okay, thank you, Mr. Correcto. It's called poetic license.
(Mr. Correcto) Well, then it seems here on my paperwork that your poetic license has expired.
(The Artist) Would you please stay out of my head?
(Mr. Correcto) I can't stay out of your head. I'm your shadow! [Evil laughter]

16) Camden Town (04:01)
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep
I Lost A Lover In Birmingham
To A Rambling & A Gambling Man
I Was A Loser In Liverpool
So I Walked Away
(You have the right to be happy)
Manchester’s A Woman’s Town
If You Can Cultivate & Stand Your Ground
But I Landed On My Feet In Camden
& Now I Can’t Walk Away
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel Free
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep
I Left My Home In Suburbia
To Get Away From The Hysteria
Too Much Of It Will Bury ‘Ya
So I Just Walked Away
(You have the right to be happy)
Like A Shadow With Too Much Past
When The Ink Is Dry & The Die Is Cast
But At Last I Heard The Bells In Belfast
So Now I Can’t Walk Away
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel Free
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep
If Joni Calls
Tell Her I’ve Had Trouble Sleeping
Tell Her I’ve The Right To Be Happy
With The Company I Am Keeping
As Long As My Heart Is Beating
If Joni Calls
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep
I Met A Lady In Kentish Town
& We Would Drink Until We Were Upside Down
At A Pub Called The Horse & Swan
& We Could Barely Walk Away
(You have the right to be happy)
It Might’ve Been On Castlehaven Road
Where The Whiskey Flowed Until They Closed
She Was A Vintage Whiner
But I Couldn’t Walk Away
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Am
In CAMDEN TOWN
CAMDEN TOWN
CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel
CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel
CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel Free !
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep

18) Being Watched (04:00)
Let's come together
The cracks are peeling on your wall
The slippery elm outside does bend
Towards your sleek stiletto heel
Which, upon my cartilage, bumps and grinds
I bid your service and do as told
Because I am not being watched
And because you are the type
That I've tied to bed in still of night
I break in sweat, but to appease
And open wide my eager mouth
To drive my tongue around your breasts
And unrest my digits inside your nest
Scarce morality does not pertain to creatures
Found in by Adam's lust
I hardly need your scolding words
I do what you daren't, I seethe
You must tear away your gilded dress
If not but for a little while
And give yourself to your self-impress
And to labor bid goodbye
Your shadow is your blanket's flesh
Yet, let the angles of the light
Creep onto your beaming skin
But save some dance for central night
For one whose lover's face is bold and bright
And then score
Tail to tongue
To teeth to crotch
Because you are not being watched
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Let's come together
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Let's come together
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Let's come together
Because you are not being watched
Let's come together
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Let's come together
Hey, hey
19) Waiting 4 The Light 2 Change (04:54)
We’re Picking Up Your
Mother At the Airport
We’ve Come Together
To Get Her
The Weather’s Getting Wetter
It Could Be A Little Better
We’re Riding In the Same Car
But Traveling In Different Lanes
& We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
We’ve Spoken To So Many People
& Maybe One Too Many Names
My Friends, Your Friends Through Their Lens
To Get A Sense Of Who To Shame
But A Story Full Of Reckless Drivers
Leaves A Lot Of Room For Blame
So We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
Our Car Has 4 Doors
But There’s Only 1 Way Out
2 Exit Is 2 Leave Behind
What Our Love Was All About
We Drove 2 Fast, Burned Our Gas
& the Past Left Us Estranged
Now We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
If the Blues Were Any Other Color
Except the One That Midnight Frames
We’d Not Be Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
Time has made us mimes
Because the words are hard to find
People passing on the right
Who have left their dreams behind
Forfeiting their foresight
To take direction from the road signs
Our voices have grown hoarse
From singing Swan songs
Beyond the limits of our range
Chasing shadows on the highway
Hoping the white lines will explain
Your mother's baggage and her plane arrived
She says next time she'll take the train
'Cause now we're just sitting here in traffic, baby
Waiting for the light to change
If the blues were any other color
Except the one that midnight frames
We'd not be sitting here in traffic, baby
Waiting for the light to change
We'd not be sitting here in traffic
Waiting for the light to change
Now we're just sitting here in traffic, baby
Waiting for the light to change
20) Let’s Come Together (01:41)
Hey, hey, let's come together.
Let's come together.
Hey, hey, let's come together.
Let's come together.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, let's come together.
Let's come together.
Hey, hey, let's come together.
Let's come together.
Let's come together. Because you are not being watched.
Let's come together. Let's come together. Hey, hey, let's come together. Hey, hey, let's come together. Hey, hey, let's come together. Let's come together. Let's come together. Let's come together. Hey, hey, let's come together.
