The Only One
This all fits - it's all it ever really, really was
'Cause it's the only one
Towards that - can you explain?
It's just to some extent you linger on and on again
And it's the only one

Well I can't sit down but it looks like I'm moving baby
And there we sit - way out of job [?]
I try to minimize, minimize, minimize
Get out at night - and if I do
I count a thousand smiles that turn around at you
'Cause it's the only one

Well I can't sit down but it looks like I'm moving baby
And so it is - I think I know
I might have finally, finally quantified, quantified
Well it's the only one
I give my word - my lips are sealed
Do you ever really wonder how I really feel?
You're the only one

Turning, turning - turning, turning
Well I can't sit still but it looks like I'm moving, yeah
What is it about you that I feel inside? well I can't explain
What is it about you that I feel inside but I can't explain?

Oh, no - honey, it fits
Baby, it's all it ever really was

Talk, talk, talk, talk - talk, talk, talk, talk
Well I can't sit still but you know that I'm moving, yeah

That's all it fits - that's all it ever really, really was
Could you resist?
'Cause it's the only one
Your time has gone - can you explain?
It's just to some extent you linger on and on again
It's very strange - it's very strange

Turning, turning - turning, turning
No I can't sit still when you know that I'm moving now
What is it about you that I feel inside? well I can't explain
What is it about you that I feel inside but I can't explain?


Rude World

You must be proud of yourself
Taking a stand against the world
Ruled by man
With your fist in the air
Metaphorically you take on the world
Girl you're like Muhammed Ali

I'm sorry about that

People they're moving around
They're driftin' and driftin'
Around this town
forgetting their friends
Forgetting their names
Overlook me now, but you can't skip James

I'm sorry 'bout that

I don't mean this to be a shock
I'm telling you honey
'Cause you know it rocks
A smiling sniper taking aim
It gives him pleasure
To give Pain

In a rude world
It's a rude world
I'm sorry about that
Rude world babe






Little Hands

Little hands clappin', children are laughin'
Little hands clappin', all over the world 
Piper is pipin', drummers are drummin'
Little hands clappin', all over the world
Little hands clappin', children are sharin'
Little loves lovin', all little boys and girls
Children are singin', the truths that they're bringin'
Freedom is ringin', all 'round the world
Come let us meet them
Ah, yes we will greet them
Little hands clappin', children are carin'
Piper is callin', all over the world
Out in the street, the sick that you meet
How many friends, do you call your own?
Come let us meet them
Yes we will greet them
Children are clappin', children are carin'
Children are shatterin', records and rules
Little hands carin', little hands sharin'
The old ones and the gold ones and the family jewels
Come let us meet them
Yes we will greet them
Little hands clappin', children are happy
Little hands lovin', all around the world 
Little hands claspin', truth they are graspin'
A world with no pain for one and all
Children are learnin', their souls they are yearnin'
A nice place to play and no place to fall 
Come let us meet them
Ah, yes we will greet them




My Bucket's Got A Hole In It

Well, I'm standing on the corner
With my bucket in my hand
I'm just lookin' for a woman
That ain't got no man

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
It won't hold no beer

Well, there ain't no use
of me workin' so hard
Cause I got a woman
in the boss man's yard.

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
It won't hold no beer

Well, I went upon the mountain
I looked down in the sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes
Doin' the be-bop- bee.

Well, me and my baby - we just bought a Ford
And now we sit together - on the running board.

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
It won't hold no beer

Yeah my bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
It won't hold no beer

My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
My bucket's got a hole in it
Won't hold no beer





Life Begin Again


This is the day, and the hour
The time where the changing begins
The land, and the sky, fall quiet
Silence moves over the plain
The heat of Cwymhr still burning
The heart still beating within
Her songs echoed the fallen
For life to begin again 
(Mi a glywais fod yr Ehedydd)
(Wedi marw ar y mynnydd)
This is the day and the hour
(Pe gwyddwn i mae gwir y geirie)
Land and the sky fallen silent 
(Awn a gyrr a wyr ac arfau)
Fire moves o'er the plain 
(I gyrchu corff yr Ehedydd adre)
Fire moves o'er the plain The silence moves over the plain
The land and sky fall quiet
The art is beating within
Her song echoes calling
For life to begin again
For light to begin again 





Red For Danger

Can you feel my heart beat?
Across a crowded room
Oh, why don't you get close to me?
Gonna taste the cheap perfume
Can you feel my eyes on you?
Why don't you look my way?
I've come to not talk - too late soon
Ain't gonna need to say

Red for danger - green for go
Dancing in the danger zone
I've got your number - got something that you need to know
Red for danger - green for go
All dressed up - nowhere to go
Look at me now, dancing in the danger zone

But what you see there
Through my open door
Wanna get you running scared
And having to take you by force
Am I coming on strong with you?
Can you see through my disguise?
You know what I wanna do, babe
Take a look through my eyes
Oh, it's red for danger - green for go
Dancing in the danger zone
I've got your number - I've got something that you need
Red for danger - green for go
All dressed up - nowhere to go
Look at me now, dancing in the danger zone
Red for danger [etc repeated]
