[QUOTE="Floyd, post: 701, member: 1"] [B]Man on the Silver Mountain[/B] I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel I can roll, I can feel And you can't stop me turning 'cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun I can move, I can run But you'll never stop me burning * come down with fire Lift my spirit higher Someone's screaming my name Come and make me holy again I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the day, I'm the day I can show you the way And look I'm right beside you I'm the night, I'm the night I'm the dark and the light With eyes that see inside you * x 2 Just look at me and listen I'm the man, the man, give you my hand Come down with fire Lift my spirit higher I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the night the light The black and the white The man on the silver mountain [B]Self Portrait[/B] Paint me a picture and hang it on your wall. Color it dark where the lines must start to crawl. Down, down, down. Spin me around and around. Draw me away to the night from the day. Leave not a trace to be found. Down, down. Nothing is real but the way that I feel. And I feel like going down, down, down, down, Down, down, down, down, down. Paint me a picture of eyes that never see, With flashes of light that will burn for only me. Hey, hey, hey, there's only the devil to pay. I'm ready to go pull me down from below. Give me a place I can lay. Hey, hey. Nothing is real but the way that I feel. And I feel like going down, down, down, down, Down, down, down, down! [B]Black Sheep of the Family[/B] I've got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed. My future's at the bottom of a teacup I've got half a pair of shoes and no time to lose. I'm wondering when I'm gonna wise up So, fortune, shine your light on me and my nose, Cause I need some security. You get a little bad luck and it grows and it grows. I'm the black sheep of the family. I've got half a pound of rice, a beard full of lice, Political retrogression. I've got a pocket full of dust, and eating is a must If you want to make a good impression. So, fortune shine your light on me and my dog, Cause we need some security. While other folks are living high on the hog. I'm the black sheep of the family. Don't talk to me about society. You got to play by the rules or pay the penalty. Because there's nothing to choose between a handful of blues. Double indemnity. The whole world's wrong and my shadow's getting long. I realize this song don't mean much. I got an ache in my head. I want to go to bed. Tomorrow I don't have to wake up. So, wisdom shine your light on me and my knees. It's true what they say about familiarity. There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say! I'm the black sheep of the family [B]Catch the Rainbow[/B] When evening falls She'll run to me Like whispered dreams Your eyes can't see Soft and warm She'll touch my face A bed of straw Against the lace * we believed we'd catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun Sail away on ships of wonder But life's not a wheel With chains made of steel So bless me come the dawn Come the dawn [B]Snake Charmer[/B] Old hollow eyes got no ties Walking by the light of the moon A pair of shiny boots With strings and flutes Rising like a crazy balloom Close your door He's on the loose Here he comes No hope for you Ooh snake charmer Hey mystery man What's your plan I've got to tell the world To beware you don't care He'll hipnotise you And tell you lies He's hiding at the top of the stairs Close your door I see him coming out There's no hope for you Ooh snake charmer Snake charmer Hey fancy face Got no place Living from a hole in the ground Old sparkle eyes He never cries One step ahead of the hounds Close your door He's on his way He's coming out of the shadows now There's no hope for you Ooh snake charmer Snake charmer Old hollow eyes Got no ties Play your strings and flutes Mystery man what's your plan Snake charmer He'll harm yer [B]The Temple of the King[/B] One day, in the year of the fox Came a time remembered well, When the strong young man of the rising sun Heard the tolling of the great black bell. One day in the year of the fox, When the bell began to ring, It meant the time had come for one to go To the temple of the king. There in the middle of the circle he stands, Searching, seeking. With just one touch of his trembling hand, The answer will be found. Daylight waits while the old man sings, Heaven help me! And then like the rush of a thousand wings, It shines upon the one. And the day has just begun. One day in the year of the fox Came a time remembered well, When the strong young man of the rising sun Heard the tolling of the great black bell. One day in the year of the fox, When the bell began to sing It meant the time had come for the one to go To the temple of the king. There in the middle of the people he stands, Seeing, feeling. With just a wave of the strong right hand, he's gone To the temple of the king. Far from the circle, at the edge of the world, He's hoping, wondering. Thinking back on the stories he's heard of What he's going to see. There, in the middle of a circle it lies. Heaven help me! Then all could see by the shine in his eyes The answer had been found. Back with the people in the circle he stands, Giving, feeling. With just one touch of a strong right hand, they know Of the temple and the king. [B]If You Don't Like Rock & Roll[/B] You'd never know there was some music playing Until you talked your way inside the door And then a sound like rolling thunder Begins to push you right thru' the floor And there's a great white sign With big black letters That just about explains it all If you don't like rock'n'roll } 3 times Then it's too late now Well it's too late now Of course there was the usual lady And she was dressed the way the stories tell So bein' cool I made a move to grab her But you could see she read the story well And then she wipped out a card With big black letters That just about explained it all Well if you don't like rock'n'roll If you don't like rock'n'roll Well if you don't like rock'n'roll Then you're too late now Well you're too late now [B]Sixteenth Century Greensleeves[/B] It's only been an hour Since he locked her in the tower The time has come He must be undone By the morning Many times before The tyrant's opened up the door Then someone cries Still we close our eyes Not again Meet me when the sun is in the western skies The fighting must begin before another someone dies Cross bows in the fire light Greensleeves waving Madman raving Through the shattered night Flames are getting higher Make it leap unto the spire Draw bright down Cut it to the ground We shall dance around the fire No more night We have seen the light Let it shine on bright Hang him higher [B]Still I'm Sad[/B] Version 1 (from stranger in us all) See the stars come fallin' down the sky Gently passing, they kiss your tear drops dry See the wind come, softly blow Your hair from your face And the rain comes falling down In it's crazy way Still I'm sad For myself my tears just fall in the dust As I search in the night and find they're lost See the wind come gently blow Time into my heart And the rain comes falling down While we're apart Still I'm sad Version 2 (yardbirds' version? ) See the stars come joining down from the skies Gently passing they kiss your tears when you cry See the wind of summer blow your hair upon your head See the rain, the falling rain, it's rain Still I'm sad Oh my flowers, my tears are falling two days They are driving the night profound, they are lost Flower, flower the wind is blowing Time into my heart When the wind blows hard, we are apart Still I'm sad Oh, oh, oh, oh, still I'm sad Oh, oh, oh, oh, how I'm sad [/QUOTE]
