Lyrics

Run Rabbit Run

(Blythe)

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)

100 Dollar Bill

(Brown)

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

Freedom March

(Blythe)

Falling

(Blythe)

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)

Fine Mess Rag

(Blythe)

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

Lost In Space

(Blythe)

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 Persecuted Musician Syndrome
