That's pure and good and right.

And wherever you are and wherever you go,

There's always gonna be some light.

But I gotta get out,

So we gotta make the most of our one night together.

We'll both be so alone..."

"I lit my purest candle close to my window

Hoping it would catch the eye

Of any vagabond that passed it by

And I waited in my lonely house

Before he came I felt him drawing near

And as he neared I felt the ancient fear

That he had come to my door and jeer

And I waited in my fleeting house

Tell me stories, I called to the hobo

Stories of old, I smiled to the hobo

Storie of cold, I wept to the hobo

As he stood before my fleeting house

No, said the hobo, no more tales of time

Don't ask me now to wash away the grime

I can't come in for it's too high a climb

And he walked away from my lonely house..."

GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

Candle In The Wind

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1973

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goodbye Norma Jean

Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself

While those around you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork

And they whispered into your brain

They set you on the treadmill

And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to

When the rain set in

And I would have liked to have known you

But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough

The toughest role you ever played

Hollywood created a superstar

And pain was the price you paid

Even when you died

Oh the press still hounded you

All the papers had to say

Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean

Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself

While those around you crawled

Goodbye Norma Jean

From the young man in the 22nd row

Who sees you as something more than sexual

More than just our Marilyn Monroe

Music & lyrics by Kate Bush 1978

I've pulled down my lace and the chintz.

Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius?

I'll send your love to Zeus.

Oh, by the time you read this,

I'll be well in touch.

I'm giving it all in a moment or two.

I'm giving it all in a moment, for you.

I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it.

This kicking here inside

Makes me leave you behind.

No more under the quilt

To keep you warm.

Your sister I was born.

You must lose me like an arrow,

Shot into the killer storm.

You and me on the bobbing knee.

Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read!

I will come home again, but not until

The sun and the moon meet on yon hill.

I'm giving it all in a moment or two.

I'm giving it all in a moment, for you.

I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it.

This kicking here inside

Makes me leave you behind.

No more under the quilt

To keep you warm.

Your sister I was born.

You must lose me like an arrow,

Shot into the killer storm.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Music & lyrics by Rod Stewart & Ron Wood 1971

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spent some time feelin' inferior

standing in front of my mirror

Combed my hair in a thousand ways

but I came out looking just the same

Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world

I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave

But remember one thing don't lose your head

to a woman that'll spend your bread"

So I got out

Paris was a place you could hide away

if you felt you didn't fit in

French police wouldn't give me no peace

They claimed I was a nasty person

Down along the Left Bank minding my own

Was knocked down by a human stampede

Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot

when all I wanted was a cup of tea

I was accused

I moved on

Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough

of the things that keeps a young man alive

My body stunk but I kept my funk

at a time when I was right out of luck

Getting desperate indeed I was

Looking like a tourist attraction

Oh my dear I better get out of here

'for the Vatican don't give no sanction

I wasn't ready for that, no no

I moved right out east yeah!

On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry

sailing on my way back here

I fell in love with a slit eyed lady

by the light of an eastern moon

Shangai Lil never used the pill

She claimed that it just ain't natural

She took me up on deck and bit my neck

Oh people I was glad I found her

Oh yeah I was glad I found her

I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me

I sincerely thought I was so complete

Look how wrong you can be

The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe

They wouldn't give you the time of day

But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet

God I was glad I found her

And if they had the words I could tell to you

to help you on the way down the road

I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats

'cause it's all been said before

Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off

You didn't have to come here anyway

So remember, every picture tells a story don't it

I Want Love

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 2001

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I want love, but it's impossible

A man like me, so irresponsible

A man like me is dead in places

Other men feel liberated

I can't love, shot full of holes

Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold

Don't feel nothing, just old scars

Toughening up around my heart

But I want love, just a different kind

I want love, won't break me down

Won't brick me up, won't fence me in

I want a love, that don't mean a thing

That's the love I want, I want love

I want love on my own terms

After everything I've ever learned

Me, I carry too much baggage

Oh man I've seen so much traffic

So bring it on, I've been bruised

Don't give me love that's clean and smooth

I'm ready for the rougher stuff

No sweet romance, I've had enough

A man like me is dead in places

Other men feel liberated

Soft-hearted Hana

Music & lyrics by George Harrison 1979

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ate it and at once my eyes could see you

No sooner had I ooped it down

I felt so far off from the ground I stood on.

My legs they seemed to me like high-rise buildings

My head was high up in the sky

My skin the sun began to fry like bacon.

And then somebody old appeared and asked had I come far . . .

And hadn't they just seen me up on Haleakala . . .

I kept on body surfing to pretend I hadn't heard

There was someone there beside me, swimming like Richard III

And I'm still smiling

Seven naked native girls swam seven sacred pools . . .

Lone-ranger smoking doobies said you're breaking all the rules . . .

You'd better get your clothes on or else there'll be a row . . .

If it wasn't for my sunstroke I would take you on right now . . .

And I'm still smiling.

I fell in love with my Soft-Hearted Hana

She entered right in through my heart

And now although we're miles apart

I still feel her.

She lives beneath the crater in the meadow

She moves among the fruit and grain

You can meet her after heavy rain has fallen.

You make me smile

You make my life seem worthwhile

You make the sun shine on me

You're my princess...."

I know you're still just a dream

Your eyes might be green

Or the bluest that I've ever seen

Anyway you'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed

You'll have the best

I promise you that

I'll pick a star from the sky

Pull your name from a hat

I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that

To walk with you and watch you grow

And know that you're blessed

Pull your name from a hat

I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that

I can't forget the airs and graces

"This is fun!"

To their delight, you'd merely invite them in for a cup of tea

With a smile as bright as sunshine

And take me away

"I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's coming in twelve-thirty flight

Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies

He turned to me as if to say

"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

I know that I must do what's right

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside

Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Time away from you?

If you can answer this, you can have the moon

This is the place to be, any way you can see

There's a lovely view

Why are there always so many other things to do?

Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head

When I'm alone, I think of you

And the life we'd lead if we could only be free

From these distractions

The postman's at the door

While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall

Pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear

I want to be with you, tell me what I can do

Nothing is too small

Away from all this jazz we could do anything at all

Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing around my head

When I'm alone, I think of you

And the things we'd do if we could only be through

With these distractions

I'll find the peaceful place

Far away from the noise of a busy day

Where we can spend our nights

Counting shooting stars

Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing around my head

When I'm alone I think of you

And the things we'd do if we could only be through

Like butterflies are buzzing around my head

When I'm alone, I think of you

And the life we'd lead if we could only be free

Let me whisper in your ear:

Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet

I hate that sadness in your eyes

But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats

You can't say we're satisfied

But Angie, I still love you, baby

Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay

I could escape this feeling, with my China Girl

I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl

I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder

Saw the stars crashing

I'm a mess without my little China Girl

Wake up in the morning. Where's my, little China Girl?

I hear our heart's beating, loud as thunder

I saw the stars crashing down

I'm feelin' tragic like I'm Marlon Brando

When I look at my China Girl

I could pretend that nothing really meant too much

When I look at my China Girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow

Visions of swastikas in my head

Plans for everyone

It's in the white of my eyes

My little China Girl

You shouldn't mess with me

I'll ruin everything you are

I'll give you television

I'll give you eyes of blue

I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited

My little China Girl says

Oh baby just you shut your mouth

Nobody in the place

Could tell me her name

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

It's hard to get by just upon a smile

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Music was my third love but it will be my last... Music of the past and music of the future...

" Yesterday, there was so many things I was never told

Now that I'm starting to learn, I feel I'm growing old

'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

Time just fades the pages in my book of memories

Prayers in my pocket, and no hand in destiny

I'll keep on movin' along with no time to plant my feet

'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

Some things could be better if we'd all just let them be

Ooh, yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Got nothing for me, ooh, yeah

Yesterday, there were so many things I was never shown

Suddenly, this time I found I'm on the streets and I'm all alone

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties

Ooh, yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday's, ooh, got nothing for me

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday...."

White Lady White Powder

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1980

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dust settles on a thin cloud

Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd

I've had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours

Staring at a line of white powder

High-priced madness pays the tab

I've scraped too much of nothing from your plastic bag

I'm a catatonic son of a bitch who's had

A touch too much of white powder

And she's a habit I can't handle

For a reason I can't say

I'm in love with a wild white lady

She's as sweet as the stories say

White powder white lady

You're one and the same

Come on down to my house won't you

And hit this boy again

Shock waves to a tired brain

Sends that hungry lady to my door again

She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain

Entertaining white powder

I feel I'm dry-docked and tongue-tied

Heaven sends a stretcher for the kids to ride

I might just escape while the others might die

Riding on a high of white powder

Temporary Secretary

Music & lyrics by Paul McCartney 1980

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mister marks, can you find for me

Someone strong and sweet, fitting on my knee?

She can keep her job if she gets it wrong,

Ah, but mister marks, I won't need her long.

All I need is help for a little while,

We can take dictation and learn to smile.

And a temporary secretary's what I need for to do the job.

I need a

Temporary secretary, temporary secretary,

Temporary secretary, temporary secretary.

Mister marks, could you send her quick,

'Cause my regular has been getting sick.

I need a

Temporary secretary, temporary secretary.

Mister marks, I can pay her well

If she comes along and can stay a spell.

I will promise now that I'll treat her right,

And will rarely keep her 'til late at night.

I need a

She can be a belly dancer, I don't need a need romancer,

She can be a diplomat but I don't need a girl like that,

She can be a neurosurgeon if she's doin' nothing urgent,

What I need's a temporary, temporary secretary.

I need a, I need a

Temporary secretary. Temporary secretary,

Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

Temporary secretary, temporary secretary.

Now, mister marks, when I send her back,

Will you please make sure she stays on the right track?

"Well I know how hard it is for young girls these days

In the face of ev'rything to stay on the right track."

She can be a belly dancer, I don't need a need romancer,

She can be a diplomat but I don't need a girl like that,

She can be a neurosurgeon if she's doin' nothing urgent,

What I need's a temporary, temporary secretary.

Temporary, hoo, secretary, ooh,

I need a temporary secretary, ooh,

Temporary, hoo, secretary, ooh,

Temporary secretary, ooh

I need a temporary, ooh, secretary, ooh,

Temporary secretary, ooh,

Oh, temporary, ooh, secretary.

"In the nicotine glare of a cold naked light

I drag my body from the covers and down forty flights

I run out the front door into the center of the street

I scream out your name as the steam just swells around my feet

I hear you after midnight from the inner city

As every Cinderella turns to drop dead pretty

We were built out of the darkness into this West Side Story

We came together in the shadows but the moon just steals our glory

Well this is my battleground baby

This is my plaything

The only thing I've ever known

Outside of a wedding ring

And I swear I heard the night talking

Cursing me for being a little more than hopeless

Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken

Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken

And all we ever do is listen to the night talking

On the burden of insanity we can't find the cause

On a flatbed truck well the home girl she paints her claws

There's a coward who gets his courage undercover of the dark

And it's a strange breed of devil freeze at night to go walking in the park...."

Angeline

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1986

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well I'm work shy, I'm wild-eyed

So shut that door when the baby cries

And keep me well fed, give me warm bread

Lay my body on a feather bed

And spoil me, Angeline

Get to work when the whistle screams, Angeline

Maybe someday, some way

Somewhere in the future there's more pay

Give me more cash, bring me sour mash

Peel me a grape and fetch my stash

And bite me, Angeline

Let me use you like a sex machine, Angeline

You've got to swing that hammer, punch that card

Angeline I love you when you work so hard

Swing that hammer and sew my jeans

Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean

Well I talk tough, I act rough

Lay still honey I can't get enough

And keep your nose clean, let me be

On your knees when you speak to me

And trust me, Angeline

And talk real dirty and I'll make you scream Angeline

"Daydream

I fell asleep amid the flowers

For a couple of hours

On a beautiful day

Daydream

I dreamed of you amid the flowers

For a couple of hours

Such a beautiful day

I dreamed of the places I've been with you

How we sat with the stream flowing by

And then when I kissed you and held you so near

Tell me why, tell me why you're so shy? ..."

"....

I never realised the passing hours of evening showers

A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen

It's four o'clock in the morning

Damn it listen to me good

I'm sleeping with myself tonight

Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear

You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

You nearly had me roped and tied

Altar-bound, hypnotized

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

You're a butterfly

And butterflies are free to fly

Fly away, high away, bye bye...."

CHINA GIRL

Music & lyrics by David Bowie 1983

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl

Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl

I could escape this feeling, with my China Girl

I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl

I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder

Saw the stars crashing

I'm a mess without my little China Girl

Wake up in the morning. Where's my, little China Girl?

I hear our heart's beating, loud as thunder

I saw the stars crashing down

I'm feelin' tragic like I'm Marlon Brando

When I look at my China Girl

I could pretend that nothing really meant too much

When I look at my China Girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow

Visions of swastikas in my head

Plans for everyone

It's in the white of my eyes

My little China Girl

You shouldn't mess with me

I'll ruin everything you are

I'll give you television

I'll give you eyes of blue

I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited

My little China Girl says

Oh baby just you shut your mouth

She says... shh

She says... shh

She says

She says

Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl

Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl

WV881/2006

Coloured pencils and soft pastel on Steinbach paper.

Hooked to Dylan classics

"Early one morning the sun was shining

I was laying in bed

Wondering if she'd changed at all

If her hair was still red

Her folks they said our lives together

Sure was gonna be rough

They never did like mama's homemade dress

Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough

And I was standing on the side of the road

Rain falling on my shoes

Heading out for the East Coast

Lord knows I've paid some dues

Getting through

Tangled up in blue.

She was married when we first met

Soon to be divorced

I helped her out of a jam I guess

But I used a little too much force

We drove that car as far as we could

Abandoned it out West

Split up on a dark sad night

Both agreeing it was best

She turned around to look at me

As I was walking away

I heard her say over my shoulder

"We'll meet again someday

on the avenue"

Tangled up in blue.

I had a job in the great north woods

Working as a cook for a spell

But I never did like it all that much

And one day the ax just fell

So I drifted down to New Orleans

so I lucky was to be employed

Working for a while on a fishing boat

Right outside of Delacroix

But all the while I was alone

The past was close behind

I seen a lot of women

But she never escaped my mind

And I just grew

Tangled up in blue.

She was working in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer

I just kept looking at the side of her face

In the spotlight so clear

And later on when the crowd thinned out

I was just about to do the same

She was standing there in back of my chair

Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"

I muttered something underneath my breath

She studied the lines on my face

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

When she bent down to tie the laces

Of my shoe

Tangled up in blue.

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe

"I thought you'd never say hello," she said,

"You look like the silent type."

Then she opened up a book of poems

And handed it to me

Written by an Italian poet

From the thirteenth century

And every one of them words rang true

And glowed like burning coal

Pouring off of every page

Like it was written in my soul

From me to you

Tangled up in blue

I lived with them on Montague street

In a basement down the stairs

There was music in the cafés at night

And revolution in the air

Then he started into dealing with slaves

And something inside of him died

She had to sell everything she owned

And froze up inside

And when it finally the bottom fell out

I became withdrawn

The only thing I knew how to do

Was to keep on keeping on

Like a bird that flew

Tangled up in blue.

So now I'm going back again

I got to get to her somehow

All the people we used to know

They're an illusion to me now

Some are mathematicians

Some are carpenter's wives

Don't know how it all got started

I don't know what they do with their lives

But me I'm still on the road

A-heading for another joint

We always did feel the same

We just saw it from a different point

Of view

Tangled up in blue..."

TANGLED UP IN BLUE - Bob Dylan, 1975.
