Nine years down the road and I remember it still Standing on the corner back in Govanhill Nine days out from home, feeling no pain That northern city sun breaking through the rain That warmth less sun barely shining on...

Get down, turn around, Skinny Boy is on his knees; And I can't figure out What I need to do to please you. There's a man in Brooklyn Who police are messing up 'til dawn, While The Man in California gives them...

Some modest dreams, they just don't pay out Some modest means don't leave much way out In every cradle there's a grave now In every owner there's a slave now Heard somewhere that there is a place now Someone who'll...

I had a golden ring, and I kept it with golden things In the Bank of a Million Dreams that was bursting at all the seams I had a golden ring. It was such an important thing That I kept it beneath my bed, and I carried...

Had we never come across the vastness of pavement The barrenness of waves and the grayness of the sea Never lost or ne'er been misguided We'd have ne'er reached seas so shining Or come from out of a hansom in Camden To...

All the time you were keeping me straight I was bleeding powers In my mind it was never too late, and the days were hours And sure the waves still make spray at the old sea wall... And the road leads somewhere, but...

As i walked to kendall square, And crossed the river basin there, The charles was black, the sky was blue, The view was old, the bridge was new. And past the flow's constricted mouth, Commercial lines flowed mostly...

Is there a place to go where a little girl might never have to know? And is there a time of night when she'll ever feel it's safe to dim the light? I know some things i'd rather not, Like, the time ahead is all the time...

Sometimes the rain upon the sea Can make the gray look green to me And when I'm into all that gray I'll make the morning last all day And when I've been down to New South Wales And both my brothers've been in jail Ah,...

Colleen, never to be crowned queen Never an evergreen Floating above the scene As still as a figurine Expressionless, so serene But I know what makes you scream So don't you run out of steam I know you, Colleen It's...

Innocence, it don't come easy - in a sense it never will Accidents mean no one's guilty, ignorance means someone's killed So I asked our Mr. Mellor how to get to where one's going And he points to his survival, and he...

There's no more bad weather underground It's time to settle down For all of the kiddies' sakes Yeah, you'll want to be around And who could have seen Where everyone would go And what did it mean? Not everyone can know I...

Long live our dying friend! In the birth of his hand was the dirge of his end. Cold now in a warming world Still cold as the moment we're hanging frozen in. Writer of words, channel of fear. Lover of life, hater of...

Rain falls - you know it's got to rain. The sky lifts it up and lets it down again. And it's alright - you must accept your part, Being the first to finish or the last to start. And when you meet me on the ledge, We'll...

You got a problem with your heart Follow the line down your left arm If there's no money in the palm of your left hand You could be pulled apart You think it's more than just a cold? Don't make a problem for your soul...
