Well I got a little money so I thought I’d have some fun
So I bought a little rabbit, thought I’d teach it how to run
Well I didn’t know how to teach it so I asked a friend to come
‘Cos my friend is Joe the farmer and the farmer’s got a gun
Run rabbit run
Run rabbit run ( etc )
Well my rabbit was not moving he was chewing on some grass
And all I wanted was to see it running down the path
So I said Joe load the twelve bore and he loaded it real fast
We’ll see if mister bunny moves with buckshot up his arse
Run rabbit run Run rabbit run ( etc )
Well I said let’s get it moving so he let both barrels go
And even though it didn’t run, my rabbit really flew
Me and Joe then went to my place and we had ourselves a brew
While I cooked my little rabbit up in a big pot of stew
Run rabbit run
Run rabbit run
Run rabbit run ‘cos the farmers gonna’ come
Run rabbit run
Run rabbit run
Run rabbit run ‘cos the farmers got a gun ( etc)
I've been working hard for 90 hours for that 100 dollar bill
I've been working hard for 90 hours for that 100 dollar bill
90 hours came and went
I'm waiting for my money still
90 hours came and went
And 100 dollars has been spent
(Chorus)
Don't say, you can't afford to pay
After taking up all my time
Come on, and it has to be today
Cos you were only holding on to what is mine
I start at the break of day I work through to midnight
I start at the break of day I work through to midnight
Hit the hammer one more time
Keep 'em coming down the line
Skin 'em up and move 'em out
Give that hammer some more clout
My pay is at the bottom line I work on the ghoster
My pay is at the bottom line I work on the ghoster
I gave it all my heart and soul
To add a little to my dole
Now they wanna pay me off
For someone else whose even worse off
Chasing Shadows
(Paterson, Brown)
What was that, tugging at my sleeve?
Was it You ?
Or make believe, or something make believe
Cos the more I try to find you
The more you seem to fade
And the more I try to hold on to you
The more you run away
Who is that stumbling in the street
I've had one or two
But someone is making a fool,
Making a fool of me
And the more I try to reach you
The further up you fly
And when I seem to see you clearly
The tears get in my eyes
I'm sure, I saw something there
I swear I saw something moving
Somebody chasing a shadow through the gloom
I know, there must be something more
Cos in between us are only doors
Are only the doors
Cos the more I try to find you
The more you seem to fade
And the more I try to hold on to you
The more you run away
And if you are gone forever
Then its true that you and I can never be together
Heaven Has Come
(Paterson, Brown)
I may have seen better times
But I never felt better than I do today
Cos I have found you now and I know
The long dark days are over
And if you ask me how I know
Its cos you told me so
And you made that promise to me
That you would always be
There for me
And the long dark days are over
The long dark days are over
And they're never gonna come again
Heaven has come and it couldn't come too soon
And I have waited so long, so long for you
Feels like a cloud has lifted
And out of the blue comes the morning sun
So I will step out lightly cos I know
The long dark days are over
And you came on to me so strong
That I just can't be wrong
And when I get that motor running
I'm going to keep on coming
To where I belong
Cos the long dark days are over
The long dark days are over
And they're never gonna come again
Heaven has come and it couldn't come too soon
And I have waited so long, so long for you
Yes sir I have waited so long
A whole life sentence
So if it's time to give thanks, I give thanks
Cos heaven has come, heaven has come to me
The Narrative of G. Bristol Groot (Vampyre)
(Blythe)
I fled across the sea from the land of Galilee in a coffin on a ship two thousand years ago
My name is Gideon, and I’m one of the old ones that has walked amongst your kind since the world began
On a dark and stormy night I’m so cold I’m out of sight and you know you’ve lost all hope if I come for you
When the moon is full and bright, I’m a shadow by your side and you might just catch a glimpse through your corner eye
Like one that on a lonely road doth walk in fear and dread
I used to wander far and wide with Marilena by my side through the valleys and the hills of Romania
We would move from town to town so no one could track us down. And I thought I’d found my home but it was not to be
And having once turned round walks on and turns no more his head
You better find a saving grace in the morning (etc)
There’s a hunter trailing me by the name of Eric V, and now he’s eyeballed me he’ll never let me go
So I make my final stand in Englands green and pleasant land, and drink some pints in Bristol town until he comes for me
Because he knows a frightful fiend doth close behind him tread
You know that I must heed the warning
There is no saving grace in the morning
And so I wait for the final dawn
When I was young, I found my feet, I found my fun
I found it on the front line, and for the first time
As time moved on, I lost my way, I lost my fun
I lost it on the front line, not for the last time
And then it’s done, too late to scam, too late to run
From slumming on the front line, maybe the last time
Then feeling numb, and every burden ways a ton
Too heavy for the front line, and so goes the time
Come away, come away,I’m falling way down low
And now it’s fine, I walk the line, I walk in time
I walk it on the front line, and for the last time
Come away, come away, I’m falling
Two Broken Hearts
(Brown, Paterson)
If you and I should break
That could be worse than my last mistake
If you and I should split
Fall apart
Who'd be the one to blame
For two broken hearts
(Chorus)
I want you
To show me how its done
To show me where the keys are kept
To keep it on up till its over
I want you
To make me understand
That it takes the two of us
To keep it on up till its over
And so I say I'm sorry
Yes there's a first time for everything
How did we ever get into this
Where you said that I said that you said that I did
So I didn't do what you said
(Chorus)
So how can I
Start to tell you
About all the things that I have done wrong, so wrong
I want you
To show me how its done
To show me where the keys are kept
To keep it on up till its over
Cos if the fire goes out
You know its going to be the end
The end of the dreaming
But it cant be the end of the story
(Chorus)
Another fine mess you got me into. You’ve got some nerve setting this up
Another bad day you made it into, You’ve got some nerve acting this way
Another bad day and a fine mess rag
Another fine mess you made me pay for. You’ve got some nerve taking all of my pay
Another bad day you lied your way into. Doing my time just to pay your way
Another bad day and a fine mess rag
Another bad girl you turned her into. You’ve got some nerve messing her up
Does it make you feel good to darken her heart. You think you scored taking her from me
What a horror story this became, King was never scarier, Poe was never creepier
You had your mission of driving me insane, send me to lockdown, give me a breakdown
What a nightmare this became, Benson never spookier, Lovecraft never darker
You told the world that I had gone insane, send me the doctor, it must be all over
You had to kill all that I had worked for. You’ve got some nerve poisoning it
Even when it was good, you made it evil. Do you really feel good for screwing it up
Another bad day and a fine mess rag
Another fine mess you faked me into. You’ve got some nerve making this up
Does it make you feel strong to shoot your mouth off, when a filthy tounge is all you have left
Another bad day and a fine mess rag
Where am I
LOST
In the dark of evening
In the light of morning
When the moon is climbing
When the sun is rising
In the thunders rolling
In the rain drops falling
In the wind’s proclaiming
In the trees complaining
Where am I
LOST
When the cat is prowling
When the ghost is walking
When the fog is creeping
When the wolf is howling
In the brush strokes talking
In the bronze’s standing
In the G man’s knowing
In J Pollocks pouring
Where am I
LOST
When the jets are screaming
When the ground’s receding
When the ship is swaying
When the wake is snaking
Where am I
LOST
When I should be working
When the problem’s solving
In the realizing
When the crew is slamming
Where am I
LOST
In the barley brewing
In the vintage pouring
Iin the spring maturing
In the summer blooming
In the raptors hunting
In the ravens warning
When the baseball’s flying
When the Mets are dying
When the waves are crashing
When the seagull’s crying
Lost in space I never knew before
Time I don’t have no more
In space where small heads cannot follow
Lost my mind that I don’t know any more
Lost
Persecuted Musician Syndrome Blues
(Brown)
Folk singers sleep at the Hilton and the jazzmen too
No bed for the poor boy who sings the blues
Too old to Rock and Roll too young to die
With only my girlfriend keeping me alive
Got the PMS Blues and I walk alone
Persecuted Musician Syndrome
EMI up the swanee, Warner Brothers dead and gone
I'd sign to an independent but we might just get along
No place for Facebook only got two friends
Me and my two guitars to the bitter end
Got the PMS Blues and I walk alone
