Does the world seem good to you?
Does the music get to you?
Does the wisdom of your heart
Show you how to play your part?

All my blond and twilight dreams;
All those strangled future schemes;
All those glasses drained of wines,

There was moonlight and laughter
That danced on the sands
And bloodstained pianos
Are played without hands

Such a promising music
Sweet whispers and dreams
From a traveling window,

When the angostura runs a little low
And your gin has lost that soft and roosy glow
And time is rushing by, but it seems slow
Just live dangerously once before you go

If you take the bite right out of Mr. Snake
He'll assume the reputation of a fake
Until someone comes along, someone fearless someone strong

Everything you do is true as long as you believe it
And everything you say is play and that’s how you should treat it
And everyone is high until there’s something makes them low
That’s when you should stay, that’s not the time to go
No, no, no, no, no, no
That’s when you should stay and let your love just flow

Lady lady won’t you come here quick

Watch her out there on display
Dancing in her sleepy way
While all her visions start to play
On the icicles of our decay.

Fading flowers in her hair
She's suffering from wear and tear
She lies in waterfalls of dreams

Derby Day.
By Kevin Ayers.

This song is dedicated to Simon Watson Taylor, The college of Pataphysics, [inaudible], Banana Moon, Robert Wyatt and the Whole World.

It's Der-Derby day (hurray),
First race is beginning (they're off),
Der-Derby day (hurray),

Hey Babe you re making my wheels start turning
Loving but I'm still learning to
Hey babe nothing to say but words
And I could just play with words all day
Never knew how to write a love song
Always seemed to get the words wrong
Always trying to say what can't be said

You run run run, you get nowhere
Oh, take it easy, oh, take it easy
A long time gone, babe, I still care
It isn't easy, it isn't easy

I still feel that it's true
Still in love with you

You shine a light in my darkness
I guess you showed me the way
A chance for love to fly again
A chance for come what may

You brought along the colors
When life was turning, turning gray
You opened up your paint box

Sometimes I get too drunk,
I feel so goddamned low
I have no place to go, no one to turn to
I think about your loving arms, where I'd like to be
But it's selfish as can be, and I know it
And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you too
'Cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning
So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out

People say that they want to be free
They look at him and they look at me
But it’s only themselves they’re wanting to see
And everybody knows about it

We talk all night and we’re all turned on
Everybody heard him singing his song
Telling us all there was work to be done

I walked into this bar
And the man refused;
He said, "we don't serve strangers
In blue suede shoes;
We don't give credit, and
We don't give way--
We have to think about what the people might say..
Uh, you know what I mean..."

See how she smiles
Like an affectionate child
Do not disturb do not do anything wild
Sweetly she dreams of love as a rainbowed
High on my
I won't disturb her while dreaming I'll only try

Hour by hour and minute by minute alone

Today, the town seems like a tomb;
Everybodys locked up in his room;
Making love, or taking love--who cares?

If you take a walk out in the street,
Chances are theres someone that youll meet.
If its someone you know
Youll say hello, and good-bye.

It catches fire at midnight
It leaves the room for doubt
But every thing's so well defined
There's only one way out

And all the girls are on tonight
The colored wheels all spin
You're more aware than ever before

Another night and i can't sleep
I need to cry but i can't weep
Feeling that i've lost control
Where's my spirit where's my very soul?

What's the future? there's no cheer
Feeling too much doubt and fear
I hide and run i run and hide
