I’m kicking off from centre field
A question of being down for the game
The one shot deal don’t matter
And the other one’s the same

Oh! My friend I see you
Want you to come through (alright)
And she’s standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue

She leaving for an American (uhuh)
Suitcase in her hand
I said her brothers and her sisters
Are all on Atlantic sand

She’s screaming through the alley way
I hear the lonely cry, why can’t you?
And her batteries are corroded
And her hundred watt bulb just blew

Lallallal.. alright…huhuhhuh

She used to hang out at Miss Lucy’s
Every weekend they would get loose
And it was a straight clear case of
Having taken in too much juice

It was outside, and it was outside
Just the nature of the person
Now all you got to remember
After all, it’s just show biz

Lallalal…huhuh…lallal

We’re just screaming through the alley way
I hear her lonely cry, ah why can’t you?
And she’s standing in the shadows
Canal street lights all turn blue
And she’s standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue
And she’s standing in the shadows
Down where the street lights all turn blue
Hey, hey, yeah

Lyrics from “Bulbs” by Van Morrison

“You tried it baby
But it didn’t work
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied

You said you need me
That was just a lie
You said the truth
Once that was just a lie

All I needed was someone
Who could keep me
Warm at night
You tried it baby
But it didn’t work
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied

All I needed was someone
Who could keep me
Warm at night
You tried it baby
But it didn’t work
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied”

Lyrics from “Disco Lies” by Moby

“Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
I know I can count on you.
Sometimes I feel like saying “Lord, I just don’t care”.
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through.

Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough.
And things go wrong no matter what I do.
Now and then I feel like life is just too much.
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through.

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
I know I can count on you.
Sometimes I feel like saying “Lord, I just don’t care”.
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through.

Time after time I say, “Oh Lord, what’s the use”.
Time after time I say, “This just won’t do”.
But sooner or later in life the things you love you lose.
Just like before I know I call on you.

Occasionally my thoughts are brave and friends are few.
Occasionally I cry out, “Lord, what must I do”.
Occasionally I call up, “Master, make me new”.
You’ve got the love to see me through.

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
I know I can count on you.
Sometimes I feel like saying “Lord, I just don’t care”.
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through.

You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
You (Got the love, got the love, got the love, I got the love)
You (I got the love, I got the love, I got the love, got the love)
(I got the love) need to see me through
(I got the love) see me through
(I got the love) see me through

You got the love (Got the love) I need to see me through
(I got the love) see me through
(I got the love) see me through

You’ve got the love, you’ve got the love
You’ve got the love
You’ve got the love, you’ve got the love
You’ve got the love, mm hmm”

Lyrics from “You Got The Love” by Candi Staton

Round table

“Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when you’re older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game *

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him take your time it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There’ll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game”

Lyrics from “Circle Game” by Joni Mitchell
