I Will See You in Far-Off Places
Nobody knows what human life is
Why we come, why we go
So why then do I know
I will see you
I will see you in far-off places
The heart knows why I grieve
And yes one day I
Will close my eyes forever but I will see you
I will see you
In far-off places
It's so easy for us to sit together
But it's so hard for our hearts to combine
And why
And why
Why
Why why why why why
Destiny for some is to save lives
But destiny for some is to end lives
But there is no end
And I will see you
In far-off places
If your god bestows protection upon you
And if the U S A doesn't bomb you
I believe I will see you somewhere safe
Looking to the camera [Look into the camera]
Messing around and pulling faces
Dear God, Please Help Me
I am walking through Rome
With my heart on a string
Dear god please help me
And I am so very tired
Of doing the right thing
Dear god please help me
There are explosive kegs
Between my legs
Dear god
Please help me
Will you follow and know
Know me more than you do
Track me down
And try to win me
Then he motions to me
With his hand on my knee
Dear god did this kind of thing happen to you
Now I'm spreading your legs
With mine in between
Dear god
If I could I would help you
And now I am walking through Rome
And there is no room to move
But the heart feels free
The heart feels free
The heart feels free
But the heart feels free
The heart feels free
The heart feels free
But the heart
Feels free
The heart feels free
The heart feels free
You Have Killed Me
Pasolini is me
Accattone you'll be
I entered nothing
And nothing entered me
Til you came
With the key and you did your best but
As I live and breathe, you have killed me, you have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me, you have killed me
Piazza Cavour
What's my life for
Visconti is me
Magnani you'll never be
I entered nothing
And nothing entered me
Til you came
With the key and your did your best but
As I live and breathe, you have killed me, you have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me, you have killed me
Who am I that I
Come to be here
Here
As I live and breathe, you have killed me, you have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me, you have killed me
And there is no point saying this again
There is no point saying this again but
I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you always
I do forgive you
The Youngest Was the Most Loved
The youngest was the most loved
The youngest was the shielded
We kept him from the world's glare
And he turned into a killer
Retroussé nose
Turned up and mischievous
Forget-me-not eyes
That cried if we ever left his side
There is no such thing in life as normal
There is no such thing in life as normal
The youngest was the most loved
The youngest was the cherub
A small boy from a poor house
Who turned into a killer
A blushed rose
If he had to say hello
A lopsided grin
Strained to keep the shyness in [Strain to keep the shyness in]
There is no such thing in life as normal
There is no such thing in life as normal
The youngest was the most loved
The youngest was the cherub
The luck was all before him [The look was all before him]
With a lovely wife beside him
The youngest was the most loved
The youngest was the cherub
We kept him from the world's glare
And he turned into a killer
There is no such thing in life as normal
There is no such thing in life as normal
In the Future When All's Well
Armed with wealth
And in the the best of health
In the future when all's well
I will lie down
And be counted
In the future when all's well
I thank you
I thank you with all of my heart
I thank you
I thank you with all of my heart
Please, please stand up and defend me
In the future when all's well
Confront what you are afraid of
In the future when all's well
Every day I play
A sad game called in the future when all's well
Living longer than
I had intended
Something must have gone right
I thank you
I thank you with all of my heart
I thank you
I thank you with all of my heart
Please, please stand up and defend me
In the future when all's well
Confront what you are afraid of
In the future when all's well
Hold me closely if your will allows it
In the future when all's well
[? Paired up, poor?] til I can barely stand it
The future
Is ended by the long, long sleep
The future is ended by a long, long sleep
The future is ended by a long
[Lovely sound that starts off sounding like 'sleep', then goes elsewhere]
The Father Who Must Be Killed
Stepchild
You have outlived your time
You represent embarrassment and failure
And the father who must be killed
Is the blight upon your blighted life
And his might is his legal right
To ground you down
Stepchild
With every petty swipe
You just might find you're fighting for your life
And the father who must be killed
Is a stepfather but nonetheless the way he chews his food
Rips right through your senses
Stepchild
There's a knife in a drawer in the room downstairs and you
You know what you must do
So the stepchild ran with with a knife to his sleeping frame and slams it in his arms
His legs his face his neck and says
There's a law against me now
And the father who must be killed
With his dying breath he grabs her hand
And he looks into her eyes
He says I'm sorry and he dies
Stepchild
I release you
With this broken voice I beseech you
Why are lives so short
The stepchild thought half
Pointing to the sky
No one to warn me
No hand to touch me
And no Bible belters to mess with me
Mama don't miss me
Mama don't miss me
This death will complete me
But where I go there'll be no one to meet me
I know there'll be no one to meet me
But still the stepchild pressed the knife to her throat
Half pointing to the sky
Just as motherless birds fly high then so shall I
So shall I
So shall I
So shall I
[I don't know whether one would call 'socialize' a homonym for 'so shall I', but that's what I thought the line was for
the first 20+ listens.]
Life Is a Pigsty
It's the same old S O S
But with brand new broken fortunes
And once again I turn
To you
Once again I do
I turn to you
It's the same old S O S
But with brand new broken fortunes
I am the same
Underneath
But this you
You surely knew
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
And if you don't know this then what do you know
Every second of my life
I've only lived for you
And you can shoot me and you can throw me off the train
I still maintain
I still maintain
Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
And I've been shifting gears all of my life
But I'm still the same
Underneath
This you surely knew
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you anymore
Can you please stop time
Can you stop the pain
I feel too cold
And now I feel too warm again
Can you stop this pain
Can you stop this pain
Even now in the final hour
Of my life I'm falling in love
Again
Again
Even now in the final hour
Of my life
Again
Again
Again
Again
I'm falling in love
Again
Again
Again
Again
I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now
The lights from the grand houses blind me
Haves cannot stand have nots [Halves cannot...]
And my love is under the ground
My one true love is under the ground
And I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never
Be anybody's hero now
I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never
Be anybody's hero now
They who should love me walk right through me
I am a ghost
And as far as I know
I haven't even died
And my love is under the ground
My one true love is under the ground
And I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never
Be anybody's hero now
I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never
Be anybody's hero now
[indistinct Morrissey singing]
I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never be anybody's lover now
I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never be anybody's lover now
[Things I've heard?] and I've seen
And I've felt and I've been
Tell me I'll never be anybody's lover now
It begins in the heart
And hurts when it's true
It only hurts
Because it's true
On the Streets I Ran
A working class face glares back
At me from the glass
And lurches
Oh forgive me on the streets
I ran
Turned sickness into
Popular song
Streets of wet black holes
On roads you can never know
You never have them but they always have you
Til the day that you croak
It's no joke
A working class face glares back
At me from the glass
And lurches
Oh forgive me on the streets I ran
Turned sickness into un-
-Popular song
And all these streets can do
Is claim to know the real you
And what if you don't leave
You will kill or be killed
Which isn't very nice
Here everybody's friendly
But nobody's friends
Oh dear god when will I be where I should be
And when the palmist said
One Thursday you will be dead
I said no, not me, this cannot be
Dear god, take him, take them, take anyone
The stillborn
The newborn
The infant, take anyone
Take people from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania just spare me
To Me You Are a Work of Art
I live a life, I feel the pain, to sing the song, I tell the tale
I wish I'd never even heard the song
I see world, it makes me puke
But then I look at you
And know that somewhere there's a someone who can soothe me
To me you are
A work of art
And I would give you my heart
That's if I had one [That's if I had won]
I see the world, it makes me puke
But then I look at you
And know that somewhere there's a someone who can soothe me
To me you are
A work of art
And I would give you my heart
That's if I had one [won]
To me you are
A work of art
And I would give you my heart
That's if I had one [won]
I Just Want to See the Boy Happy
Lord these words I beg of you
As I kneel down at my bed
Because soon I will be dead
Let's face it soon I will be dead
And I just want to
I want to see the boy happy
With some hope in his pale eyes
Is that too much to ask
Before I die, I have one final dream
For my own life I don't care anything
Lord these words I beg of you
As I kneel down at my bed
Let's face it soon I will be dead
And I just want to
I want to see the boy happy
With his arms around his first love
Is that too much to ask
Before I die, I have one final dream
For my own life I don't care anything
And I just want to
I want to see this boy happy
Why is this such a bad thing
At Last I Am Born
At last I am born
Historians note
I am finally born
I once used to chase
Affection withdrawn
But now I just sit back yawn because I am born, born, born
(Spoken: Hear me now, difficult child... spectral hand... Claude Bresseur... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... [indistinct
yelling])
At last I am born
Vulgarians know
I am finally born
I once thought that time accentuates despair
But now I don't actually care because I am born, born, born
(Spoken: Look at me now... difficult child... spectral hand... [to?] Claude Bresseur... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah)
At last I am born
At last I am born
Living the one true free life born
I once thought that I had numerous reasons to cry
And I did but I don't anymore
Because I am born, born, born
At last I am born
At last I am born
It took me a long long time but now I am born
I once was a mess
Of guilt because of the flesh
It's remarkable what you can learn once you are born, born, born
Born, born, born
Born, born, born
