*Waiting for the sun*
At first flash of Eden, we race down to the sea. Standing there on Freedom's Shore. Waiting for the Sun (3x) Can you feel it now that spring has come. And it's time to live in the scattered sun. Waiting for the Sun (3x, pause, again slower) Waiting.... Waiting.... Waiting.... Waiting.... (2x) Waiting for you to - come along Waiting for you to - hear my song Waiting for you to - come along Waiting for you to - tell me what went wrong This is the strangest life I've ever known. YEAH! (Riff 8x) Can you feel it now that spring has come. And it's time to live in the scattered sun. Waiting for the Sun (3x) Waiting... for... the suuuuun. (Riff 2x)

*Strange Days*
Strange days have found us Strange days have tracked us down They're going to destroy Our casual joys We shall go on playing or find a new town Yeah!
Strange eyes fill strange rooms Voices will signal their tired end The hostess is grinning, Her guests sleep from sinning Hear me talk of sin and you know this is it Yeah!
Strange days have found us And through their strange hours we linger alone Bodies confused Memories misused As we run from the day to a strange night of stone

The Beloved - Sweet harmony
Is it right or wrong Try to find a place We can all belong? Be as one Try to get on by If we unify? We should really try
All this time Spinning round and round Made the same mistakes That we've always found Surely now We could move along Make a better world? No it can't be wrong
Let's come together Right now Oh yeah In sweet harmony
Let's come together Right now Oh yeah In sweet harmony
Let's come together Right now Oh yeah In sweet harmony
Let's come together Right now Oh yeah
Time is running out Let there be no doubt We should sort things out If we care Like we say we do Not just empty words For a week or two
Make the world Your priority Try to live your life Ecologically Play a part In a greater scheme Try to live the dream On a wider scene
Let's come together Right now Oh yeah In sweet harmony

Echoing Green, The The sun does arise, And make happy the skies; The merry bells ring To welcome the spring; The skylark and thrush, The birds of the bush, Sing louder around To the bell's cheerful sound, While our sports shall be seen On the Echoing Green.
Old John with white hair, Does laugh away care, Sitting under the oak, Among the old folk. They laugh at our play, And soon they all say: "Such, such were the joys When we all, girls and boys, In our youth time were seen On the Echoing Green."
Till the little ones, weary, No more can be merry; The sun does descend, And our sports have an end. Round the laps of their mothers Many sisters and brother, Like birds in their nest, Are ready for rest, And sport no more seen On the darkening Green
A Dream Once a dream did weave a shade O'er my angel-guarded bed, That an emmet lost its way Where on grass methought I lay.
Troubled, wildered, and forlorn, Dark, benighted, travel-worn, Over many a tangle spray, All heart-broke, I heard her say:
'Oh my children! do they cry, Do they hear their father sigh? Now they look abroad to see, Now return and weep for me.'
Pitying, I dropped a tear: But I saw a glow-worm near, Who replied, 'What wailing wight Calls the watchman of the night?
'I am set to light the ground, While the beetle goes his round: Follow now the beetle's hum; Little wanderer, hie thee home!'

Eternity He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise.
Broken Love My Spectre around me night and day Like a wild beast guards my way; My Emanation far within Weeps incessantly for my sin.
‘A fathomless and boundless deep, There we wander, there we weep; On the hungry craving wind My Spectre follows thee behind.
‘He scents thy footsteps in the snow Wheresoever thou dost go, Thro’ the wintry hail and rain. When wilt thou return again?
’Dost thou not in pride and scorn Fill with tempests all my morn, And with jealousies and fears Fill my pleasant nights with tears?
‘Seven of my sweet loves thy knife Has bereavèd of their life. Their marble tombs I built with tears, And with cold and shuddering fears.
‘Seven more loves weep night and day Round the tombs where my loves lay, And seven more loves attend each night Around my couch with torches bright.
‘And seven more loves in my bed Crown with wine my mournful head, Pitying and forgiving all Thy transgressions great and small.
‘When wilt thou return and view My loves, and them to life renew? When wilt thou return and live? When wilt thou pity as I forgive?’
‘O’er my sins thou sit and moan: Hast thou no sins of thy own? O’er my sins thou sit and weep, And lull thy own sins fast asleep.
‘What transgressions I commit Are for thy transgressions fit. They thy harlots, thou their slave; And my bed becomes their grave.
‘Never, never, I return: Still for victory I burn. Living, thee alone I’ll have; And when dead I’ll be thy grave.
‘Thro’ the Heaven and Earth and Hell Thou shalt never, quell: I will fly and thou pursue: Night and morn the flight renew.’
‘Poor, pale, pitiable form That I follow in a storm; Iron tears and groans of lead Bind around my aching head.
‘Till I turn from Female love And root up the Infernal Grove, I shall never worthy be To step into Eternity.
‘And, to end thy cruel mocks, Annihilate thee on the rocks, And another form create To be subservient to my fate.
‘Let us agree to give up love, And root up the Infernal Grove; Then shall we return and see The worlds of happy Eternity.
‘And throughout all Eternity I forgive you, you forgive me. As our dear Redeemer said: “This the Wine, and this the Bread.”’

Summertime, time, time, Child, the living's easy. Fish are jumping out And the cotton, Lord, Cotton's high, Lord so high.
Your daddy's rich And your ma is so good-looking, baby. She's a-looking good now, Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby now, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Don't you cry, don't you cry.
One of these mornings You're gonna rise, rise up singing, You're gonna spread your wings, child, And take, take to the sky, Lord, the sky.
But until that morning, Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya, No, no, no no, no no, no... Don't you cry — cry.
