Beauty To Disaster
I cried the night you left me
I never cried so hard
I never felt so helpless
Except the night that we made love
From beauty to disaster
I held you in my arms
Long enough to reach around you
To keep my fingers warm
Through egos, bars, and pills
You kept me in my place
You saved me from this spotlight
Well I guess Im living in disgrace
From beauty to disaster
I held you in my arms
Long enough to reach around you
To keep my fingers warm
I wonder how is california
Is it the blonde-haired blue-eyed life
Is it okay for me to ask you
Do you have a husband or a wife

Summertime
Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
The cotton is high
Oh your daddys rich
Your mamas good looking
I said hush little baby
Dont you cry
One of these mornings
Youre bound to rise up singing
Then youll spread your wings
And take to the sky
But til that morning
Nothings going to harm you no
With daddy and mama standing by
Summertime
(sweet summertime)
And the living is easy
(living is easy)
Fish are jumping

Redemption Song
Old pirates yes they rob i
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them are gonna stop the time
How long must they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say its just a part of it
Weve got to fulfill the book

Malachys
Eddie said the beat was wrong
Tom didnt like the tune
The boy with a beard in the corner
Laughed in the middle of a song
He didnt stay very long
Eddie said the lights were low
Tom said the treble was high
The boy with a beard in the corner
Laughed in the middle of a sigh
Dont think we ever even caught his eye
Sometimes I used to find
Id be singing to you
As if you were sitting
At the table by the door
Eddie said a friend of his
Is making it big in l.a.
Ah well everybody down at malachys
Says Im gonna make it someday
Sometimes I used to write
A song for you

Wild Horses
Childhood living
Is easy to do
The things you wanted
Well I bought them for you
And graceless lady
You know who I am
You know I cant let you
Ah slide through my hands
Wild horses
Couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses
Couldnt drag me away
I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
Now youve decided
To show me the same
No sweeping exits
Or offstage lines
Can make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind

Ill Be There
It was you who walked into my life
You were the one
You hear my cries of loneliness
Through my cool cautious eyes
Cant you see me reaching out for you
Cant you feel me there
Wont you please believe me
I could never touch you for the fear
That I might never let you go
It was you with the courage and the commitment
To start your new life
You make me believe in mine
But cant you see the confusion
Through my troubled smile
Im torn between losing me
Losing me and gaining you
Maybe Ive been distant
Maybe Ive been cold
But Ive done it for my own existence
And I do believe I do believe its getting old

Finlandia (live)
Finlandia" is a Sibelius composition, which the girls recorded on
their 1986 EP. Live versions are VERY infrequent, but they have
performed it as recently as last March.
Finlandia.
This is my song, O God of all the nations
A song of peace for lands afar and mine
This is my home, the country where my heart is
Here are my hopes and dreams, my holy shrine
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.
My country's skies are bluer than the ocean
And sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine
But other lands have sunlight, too, and clover
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations
A song of peace for their land and for mine

Back Together Again
Leaving aint fair you know
Parting aint just
People got to move on
People got to do what they must
And were back together again
And Im never gonna lose you as a friend
Growing up free
Growing up wild
If you want to know the secret behind the smile
You got to ask a tuesdays child
And were back together again
And Im never gonna lose you as a friend
Well I guess that highway got a hold of me
Thinking crazy thoughts like it was going to set me free
This aint my place you know
This aint my home
And Im not going to feel right
Til you get us back behind the microphones
And were back together again
And Im never gonna lose you as a friend

Scooter Boys
Scooter boys and argentineans
Europe shed the blood of the indians
Here I sit in the land of plenty
Crying about my own virginity
Hey blue blood youre nothing new
See I come from priviledge too
A chapter in the book on the americas
And your just another colonial terrorist
Scooter boys and argentineans
Europe shed the blood of the indians
Here I sit in the land of plenty
Crying about my own virginity
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Way down south where the maya reign
Zapata reading poety in his grave
They say were stealing from the best
To feed the poor

Rise Up
dog at the window still looks all day never gets her fill
cause a glance means a chance to break the birds out congregating
I have seen a look like that you licked your chops from where you sat
make your kill for a thrill and you don't mind waiting
rise up your dead, there's life in the old girl yet
rise up your dead
when it bums you out, all the hunters sprung to pounce
and at best it's a mess like a nest infested
you remember there's more than this
there always was and always is
tend the artist in your charges, you are full invested
and if you need to, read your mindless mag
call me up for tickets, we'll go see sugarland
and it gets better even when it's been a drag
just move to the music, move your body to the band and
rise up
