Mama nature said
It's murder what you've done I sent you forth my brightest world Now it's nearly gone Birds and bees Been telling me You can't see The forest for the trees You cover up your lies With sympathies And I got no solutions To your persecution Mama nature said I can't believe it's true I gave you life and food for thought Look what did you do You're killing my rivers Drowning my baby streams Day by day by day by day I hear them scream I'm so disillusioned I'm so disillusioned Mama nature said You're guilty of this crime Now it's not just a matter of fact But just a matter of time Cruel will be the vengeance So savage is the deed that's done And I've got no solutions To your own pollutions 02. The Hero And The Madman Lyrics by Lynott
The hero he rode a white horse
Across the desert to where his woman was He'd been riding for four days When he saw the tower where she was locked In the moonlight he left his old steed Near the drawbridge that he crossed And by way of a rope ladder He tip-toed to where his woman was If I recall you're the actor Who followed the stars Searching for The lost city of mars Hoping time would heal the scars Knowing fate held no bars Are you the one That I think you are? Are you the hero or are you the madman? The madman climbed The steeple spire Go higher said the crowd From down below But...the world's on fire cried the madman From the steeple spire You're a liar cried the crown From down below The madman climbed the steeple spire And let a crystal ball tear Fall on the crown From down below If I recall you're the actor Who took to the stage Set the world ablaze With your anger and your rage With every new leaf You turned and wrote a new page Cleverly concealing Your real age Those that knew you Were always quite amazed Are you the one Who can take this praise? Are you the hero or are you the madman? You're the only one Who can save us Said the wizard Or all is lost 03. Slow Blues Lyrics by Brian Downey, Lynott
My baby don't love me
My baby's gone and made me sad My baby don't love me My baby's gone and made me sad A hard hearted woman A hard hearted woman true My baby don't love me My baby don't love me Oh baby, let the flags fly at half mast Let this darkened hour drift past Oh baby, you don't know How much I'm missing you All my tears are falling Slow blues is calling Oh baby, you don't know How much I'm missing you Oh baby, baby, baby, go tell this crazy world the true tale Please let loose this lover's ship to sail Oh baby, you don't know How much I'm missing you You don't know how much I love you Oh no no no no no My baby don't love me My baby's gone and made me sad My baby don't love me My baby's gone and made me sad 04. The Rocker Lyrics by Eric Bell, Downey, Lynott
I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double Hey little girl, keep your hands off me 'cause I'm a rocker I love to rock and roll I get my records from the rock on stall Sweet rock and roll Teddy boy, he's got them all Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin' Bippin' an a boppin', telling a dirty joke or two In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something I kissed her right there out of the blue I said hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy Got my cycle outside, you wanna try? She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes And said ooh I'd do anything for you 'cause you're a rocker That's right I'm a rocker I love to rock and roll I get my records from the rock on stall Sweet rock and roll Teddy boy, he's got them all 05. Vagabonds Of The Western World Lyrics by Lynott
I could tell you the story of a vagabond
A playboy of the western world One day by chance he came upon A fair young maid, a country girl He told her that he loved her And he took all of her silver He told her that he needed her too He said hey baby, you got eyes of blue But he was a vagabond Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh blue eyes The kind of eyes that say I do eyes Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes He roamed around the cities Searching for his fortune and fame No lady ever got to know his name Shame, but that was his game Gave a girl a baby boy He said this child is my pride and joy I'm busy running wild and free Make sure he grows up like me And I'm a vagabond Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh blue eyes The kind of eyes that say I do eyes Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes Oh I could tell you a story of a vagabond He was a playboy of the western world He wore an earring in his left ear You see his father he was a gypsy You just might meet him upon the highway Pretty fine dancer too But he's leave you blue, he'd leave He'd leave you woman 06. A Little Girl In Bloom Lyrics by Lynott
Little girl in bloom
With happy heart you wipe aside Any sadness, sorrow or gloom Tomorrow you'll be a blushing bride That loves her blushing groom Little girl in bloom You watch the men play cricket From the window in your room See the ball go from bat to wicket Pass away the afternoon Little girl in bloom Carries a secret The child she carries in her womb She feels something sacred She's gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react Little girl in bloom All the clouds will go drifting by So sing your lullabying tune Every word is in your eyes As you sit and softly croon Little girl in bloom Your love it fills the air With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume You feel so good you just don't care You're gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react 07. Gonna Creep Up On You Lyrics by Bell, Lynott
I'm gonna creep up on you
I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna gonna The writing on the wall showed the scandal Pointed out the victim of the vandal The lady was upset by the angle Scratch your back and hot to handle I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna gonna You're sly, you're slick, you're sleek, you're outstanding My legs are week, my heart, it beats, it's pounding Soon you're gonna weep in your sleepless surrounding 'cause I'm the one taking you down for grounding I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna gonna Little lady let me take a little bit of your love 08. A Song For While I'm Away Lyrics by Lynott
These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say Now I'm headed for the border You see this song it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be coming home to stay You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say |
