Lay Your Hands On Me
Sat in the corner of the garden grill, with plastic flowers
On the window sil
No more miracles, loaves and fishes, been so busy with the
Washing of the dishes
Reaction levels much too high - I can do without the stimuli
Im living way beyond my ways and means, living in the
Zone of the inbetweens
I can see the flashes on the frozen ocean, static charge of
The cold emotion
Watched on by the distant eyes - watched on by the silent
Hidden spies
But still the warmth flows through me
And I sense you know me well
No luck, no golden chances
No mitigating circumstances now
Its only common sense
There are no accidents around here
I am willing - lay your hands on me
I am ready - lay your hands on me
I believe - lay your hands on me, over me

Shakin The Tree
Released as youssou ndour/peter gabriel single, 1989 and featured on the youssou ndour album the lion.
We are shaking the tree...
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, so much more than just a wife
You dont have to do what your mother has done, she has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
Its your day - a womans day
Its your day - a womans day
Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobodys slave
Find your brothers and sisters
Who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when youre on your way
Its your day - a womans day
Its your day - a womans day
We are shaking the tree...
Theres nothing to gain when theres nothing to be lost
Theres nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost
Make a decision that you can be who you can be, you can be
Tasting the fruit, come to the liberly(? ) tree

Mercy Street
For anne sexton
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams all made real
All of the buildings, all of those cars
Were once just a dream
In somebodys head
She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
She pictures a soul
With no leak at the seam
Lets take the boat out
Wait until darkness
Lets take the boat out
Wait until darkness comes
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
Nowhere in the suburbs
In the cold light of day
There in the midst of it so alive and alone
Words support like bone
Dreaming of mercy st.

Love To Be Loved
[aaaaahi, byeeee]
So, you know how people are
When its all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, theres something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go
And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Yes, I love to be loved
I cry the way that babies cry
The way they cant deny
The way they feel
Words, they climb all over you
til they uncover you
From where you hide
And in this moment, I need to be needed

Sweet little princess
Let me introduce his frogness
You alone can get him singing
Hes all puffed up, wanna be your king

Lady kiss that frog
Splash, dash heard your call
Bring you back your golden ball
Hes gonna dive down in the deep end
Hes gonna be just like your best friend
So whats one little kiss
One tiny little touch
Aaah, hes wanting it so much

Running through my skin
Oh can you see the state Im in
Kiss it better, kiss it better

I Go Swimming
Ooh, I go swimming, swimming in the water
Swimming in the river, swimming in the sea
I go swimming
I go swimming, swimming in the water
Swimming in the pool, swimming is cool
I go swimming
The sun is burning, I am yearning
For the waterflow (waterflow)
Next to my skin i, like to begin a
Waterflow (waterflow)
Letting off steam I float in a dream,
I cant let go (cant let go)
Follow my wishes, follow the fishes
Down below (down below)
I go swimming
I need water, water to drink
Water on my brain, water sustain,
Water over me
I want water, water I need
Water to think, water to drink

Sledgehammer
You could have a steam train
If youd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is call me
Ill be anything you need
You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends
I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be
I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name

Moribund Burgermeister
Caught the chaos in the market square
I dont know what, I dont know why, but somethings wrong down there
Their bodies twistin and turnin in a thousand ways
The eyes all rollin round and round into a distant gaze
Ah, look at that crowd!
Some are jumping up in the air--say were drowning in a torrent of blood!
Others going down on their knees, seen a saviour coming out of the mud
Oh mother! its eating out my soul
Destroying law and order, Im gonna lose control
What can I do to stop this plague, spread by sight alone
Just a glimpse and then a quiver, then they shiver to the bone
Ah, look at them go!
Bunderschaft, you going daft? better seal off the castle grounds
This is moribund, the burgermeister, Im going to keep this monster down,
Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of town.
No-one will tell what all this is about
But I will find out.
This things outrageous, I tell you on the level
Its really so contagious must be the work of the devil
You better go now, pick up the pipers, tell them to play

Schnappschuss
Die kameras sind schon lange hier
Reporter stehen spalier
Heute ist es anders
Heute nicht wie sonst
Heute mach ich es endlich
Den schnappschuss in das licht
Schnappschuss in das licht
- ich ziele in das licht
Vier strassen noch braucht der zug
Den fahrer blendet die sonne
Gewehr hinterm fensterkreuz
Keiner sieht's in der kolonne
Drei strassen noch, die kreuzung ist frei
Jetzt faengt der jubel an
Du hoerst im radio
Was dieser mann alles kann
Ich - zeig es euch jetzt
Ich - zeig es euch jetzt
Ihr glotzt nur auf die scheibe
Nummer fuer die datenbank
