you’ve really got me in a spin
head over heels is the state i’m in
do you know how you make me feel
soft as silk and sharp as steel

so come on oh oh
give in to love
come oh yeah
give in to love

one step forward
one step back
you’re on a hesitation track
your heart says yes, but your mind says no
why don’t you just let go

so come on oh oh
give in to love
come on yeah
give in to love

don’t let yourself get stranded
don’t let yourself go empty-handed
love is the healer, the revealer
as above, so below
plant a seed and watch it grow
if you really want to see
and get your soul free

so come on oh oh
give in to love
come on yeah
give in to love

you tried to build a gilded cage
and capture me and silence my song
you didn’t read the page
you got the story all wrong

and you wanted me on a pedestal
but i’m made of fire not of stone
now see me walking tall
i don’t care to share your throne

have you heard the bird that sings
things aren’t always what they seem
now i am one to live the dream
bird has wings, bird will fly
bird will fly

you try to fill your empty heart
with all of what you cannot feel
anything to play the part
you’d beg, borrow, or steal

have you heard the bird that sings
things aren’t always what they seem
now i am one to live the dream
bird has wings, bird will fly
bird will fly

see those bridges as they burn
big wheel of fortune in the sky
so we live and learn
now it’s your turn to cry

well have you heard the bird that sings
things aren’t always what they seem
now i am one to live the dream
bird has wings, bird will fly
bird will fly
flying into a brand new sky now it’s time to say goodbye
bird has wings, bird will fly
bird bird bird will fly
bird bird bird will fly
bird bird bird will fly
bird bird bird will fly
bird bird bird will fly
flying in to a brand new sky

like a nickelodeon
loaded up with lots of tunes
paper moons, paper junes to go
fill the basket to the brim
wait until the lights are dim
set the stage and let the music flow

we’re having a party
a picnic party
we’re having a picnic picnic
party

tell your neighbors, tell your friends
enemies to make amends
everybody’s gettin in the groove boogie woogie hootchie coo
honkytonky boogaloo
let your body move, your body move

we’re having a party
a picnic party
we’re having a picnic picnic
party

karma-copian
dharma-utopian
anahata shakti shakti
manna manna sugar sugar
honey honey lovey dovey
psyche-electric
pop-sidelic

the dada and surrealists
sippin wine and tappin time
rubbin shoulders with the funky tribe

freaks’n geeks n’kooks n’crooks
all come together in the vibe

we’re having a party
a picnic party
we’re having a picnic picnic
party

people thought the world was flat
then they learned that it was square
so they had to find another way to roll
seize the day and celebrate
eat and drink and merry be
and savor every cherry in the bowl

we’re having a party
a picnic party
we’re having a picnic picnic
party

pack up all your trinkets and rings
i’ve got things daddy left behind
little sister
mama says we’ll be fine
soon we’ll have peace of mind

we’re going where the north wind will blow
to the neon sidewalks and the snow
so say goodbye to the southern sky
we’re going to go start a new life
we’re going to go to chicago oh oh to chicago

we’re going to be his children from now on
little sister
mama says she won’t need that gun
soon our troubles will be done

to the neon sidewalks and the snow
so say goodbye to the southern sky

to the purple horizon
say goodbye to the apple tree

the clarinet in the clarinet case
the 45’s, the 78’s
little sister
new world symphony
over the rainbow

we’re going where the north wind will blow
to the neon sidewalks and the snow
so say goodbye to the southern sky
we’re going to go start a new life
we’re going to go to chicago oh oh to chicago

where is my heart
where is my heart
where is my heart
on some forgotten page
some unfinished phrase
where is my heart where is my heart
hidden in a line
the one that doesn’t rhyme

where oh where
where oh where
where oh where
is my heart
where is my heart

where is my dream
where is my dream
projections on a screen
reflections on a theme
where is my dream
where is my dream
just a tarnished ideal
of things i think i feel

where oh where
where oh where
where oh where
is my heart
where is my heart
where is my heart
where is my heart

where is my love
where is my love
was it all just a game
that will never be the same
where is my love
where is my love
where’s the passion and the grace
the magical embrace

where oh where
where oh where
where oh where
is my heart
where is my heart
where is my heart
where is my heart
where is my heart

i’ve been thinking about you lately
we could get together again
miles and miles separate us
years ago you were more than a friend
do you remember when we first met
so young and so care-free
nobody knows what the future will bring
it’s all a mystery

sensuality
a song for you from me
sensuality
like a flower to the bee

saw your picture in the news the other day
you haven’t changed much, still the same smile
so let me live in this dream for a while
in this fantasy

sensuality
a song for you from me
sensuality
like a flower to the bee

i still wear my heart on my sleeve
still find a reason to believe
i’m leaving all the bad times
i’m ready for the good times

sensuality
a song for you from me
sensuality
like a flower to the bee

if you want to take a trip
come on get hip
take the sway train
it’s coming down the track
and it’s right on time
take the sway train

you don’t need a ticket
you don’t need to reserve
through thick and thin
around the bend and the curve

take the sway train
take the sway train
take the sway train
take the sway train

when you get your connection
and you’re ready to ride
take the sway train

show the love and affection
you feel inside
take the sway train
you don’t need to worry
you just need to relate
you don’t need to hurry
it’s never too late to take

take the sway train, take the sway train
take the sway train, take the sway train
take the sway train, take the sway train
take the sway train, take the sway train
young and old, timid or bold, uptown downtown everybody everywhere, is taking sway train
venus and mars, moons and stars, positive negative
everybody’s on the sway train the first the last..

tears keep falling falling
my heart’s calling calling
but you’ve gone away
i’ll sail my little boat
across the sea of tears
one day i’ll find my way
when teardrops turn to diamonds and diamonds turn to light

diamonds to light
pack up my belongings
my treasures and my longings
there’s no reason to stay
i’ll sail my little boat
across the sea of tears
one day i’ll find my way
when teardrops turn to diamonds
and diamonds turn to light
diamonds to light

leaving all my sorrow
sow the seeds of tomorrow
where the swallows do play
i’ll leave my little boat
on the sea of tears
the day i find my way
when teardrops turn to diamonds
and diamonds turn to light
diamonds to light

granddaddy granddaddy tell me please
tell me about old times
granddaddy granddaddy what was it like
working the coal mines

you rise in darkness never see the light
into the belly of eternal night
give us this day our daily crust
to greet the demons of the dust

and i say
dig down dig deep
working working like a slave
dig down dig deep
dig away your dignity
dig down dig deep
well a man sure can
a man sure can
a man sure can
dig his own grave
dig his own grave

granddaddy granddaddy tell me why
all men are not born free
some are rich and most are poor
why must that be

some find the answer in religion
others turn to philosophy
i myself have no opinion
i just got ten mouths to feed

and i say dig down dig deep
working working like a slave
dig down dig deep
dig away your dignity
dig down dig deep
i hope and pray my soul to save
dig down dig deep
well a man sure can
a man sure can
a man sure can
dig his own grave

granddaddy granddaddy why do your hands
tremble when you speak..

marcher dans ces rues enquête :
paris est une fête..
ne me souvient de rien mais je
crois que tout fini bien

shakespeare and co, le dome
je cherche le noyau de l’atome
le home sweet home
sweet home

à la recherche de hemingway
je lève mon verre à hemingway
à la recherche de hemingway

huit clos à la closerie
rouge à levre sur verre de whiskey
parfum poudré
velours froissé

à la recherche de hemingway
je lève mon verre à hemingway
à la recherche de hemingway

sur les bords de marne un dancing et le doux vacarme
les lucioles les lampions
et les flons flons

sur la table de nuit
un scènar pas fini
et quelques esquisses
comme indices

j’irai faire un tour
au jardin du luxembourg
là ou dansent les bateaux
de mon enfance

à la recherche de hemingway
un dernier verre pour hemingway
à la recherche de hemingway

tout est bien qui fini bien
tout est bien qui fini bien
tout est bien qui fini bien
tout est bien qui fini bien
all is well that ends well

they call me the cat
i like it like that
where i lay my hat
that’s where it’s at

i saw jimi stand
at ladyland
electric hand
eclectic man

cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives

when bessie was boss
and billie was queen
i gathered no moss
playin the scene

cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives

i was left for dead
at the riverbed
a blood red bullet-hole
in my head

cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives

well if you cross my path
don’t cross the cat
you’ll regret that
a tit for a tat

cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives

into the indigo sky
soon we will fly

cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives
cat has nine lives..

i’d like to feel your arm around my waist
as we go walking by the river
birds circling overhead
reflected in the water

and we’ll talk about the mystery of trees
and butterfly effects upon the breeze
and far from the hustling crowd
contemplate the complexity of clouds

the morning light shines into my room
and i recall sweet kisses
when evening comes to call and shadows start to fall
i’ll meet you in the dream that this is

and we’ll talk about the mystery of trees
and butterfly effects upon the breeze
and far from the hustling crowd
contemplate the complexity of clouds
