Delicious Mystery

Well, just the other day I was thinking Just the other day I was thinking about you How you still live on the hill And how you never come down Woah ho ho ho, imagine my surprise Sometimes I like to put my thoughts down Sometimes I like to put ‘em down on paper Sometimes I like to put ‘em in a picture Sometimes I like to put ‘em out for everyone Woah ho ho ho, imagine my surprise Sometimes I like to write a story Sometimes I like to write a poem Sometimes I like to write a good song Sometimes I get it right and sometimes it’s wrong Woah ho ho ho, imagine my surprise Well, once upon a time I was an angry man Once upon a time I was a bad man Once upon a time I was a stupid man Once upon a time I was scared of the dark Woah ho ho ho, imagine my surprise You can take the fool out of the man You can buy a good tool and drive a big sedan Keep going to school You’ll end up in the can There ain’t any rule There’s no master plan

I got some bones to pick with you All the things you said you’d never do You’ve done ‘em all the same This ain’t my protest song, now I simply haven’t got that long I know to you the whole thing’s just a game, yeah Rake over ashes looking for a doctor Walk in the desert looking for your sister Die in a war zone Looking for a story of how the tide will turn The emerging nations All want power stations We can send them all the stuff we’ve hardly used Radioactive waste T-shirts in bad taste Container loads of worn out clothes and foods they can barbecue Take the wages of sin Throw the truth to the wind From 1997 heaven to 9/11 and 7/7 Everyone we trust is never to blame Well, it must come down to you me We never seem to see Democracy was never perpetrated in our name Rake over ashes looking for a doctor Walk in the desert looking for your sister Diana Warzone Looking for a story of how the tide will turn

Indigo Child 05:52
Ignorance is bliss! Have you heard the news? You got one living down your street Come to banish all your blues Smiling eyes and light on her feet The next step for humanity Sharp as a tack No messing about Intelligent humility Tell a lie she’ll point you out She’s beautiful And she’s smart Makes the rest of us look like fools She’ll tell it straight from her heart We built the world by breaking her rules Patching up the ozone Cooling down the air Feeding all the hungry Free the oppressed She smells good Got flowers in her hair She’s like heaven in a long red dress Have you seen the Indigo Child? Ignorance is misinformation Isn’t the same as knowing Isn’t understanding Isn’t wisdom Wisdom’s not for you!

Quiet Heart 05:18
You say light is in the world I say it’s in your head You say the world must come to us I say it’s already here And you say kill And I say be killed You say thrill And I say be still my quiet heart You say the classics swing I say they do no such thing (It ain’t never be heard of, boy) You look for complexity Where there’s only simplicity (Because that’s the way you mind works fella!) You say President I say King (Because that’s what he is) You say terrorist And I’m nothing with the quiet heart But you know what? At the end of a long hard day I can truthfully say (Yeah, I can) That I love everything just a little more than I did yesterday (And that ain’t nothing) You war can be justified (Are you such a fool?) Yeah, you call it war I call it fratricide (You shoot them women and children down) You say might is always right (How can you be wrong? You got the bomb?) I that what you tell yourself When you wake screaming in the middle of the night? (Here it comes) You say love I say be love And you say hate And I say it’s too late for my quiet heart (But you know what?) At the end of a long hard day I can truthfully say That I love everything just a little more than I did yesterday Can you say the same? I don’t think so

Strawberries 10:14
Dad, what are you doing? What are you doing dad? What are you doing dad? What are you doing? Why? I’m doing OK OK OK I’m fine I’m fine I’m really doing fine I’m fine I’m fine Here comes the sting in the tail You got nothing on me Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen, The first thing you should know is that I don’t exist Officially Nothing I say should be taken seriously Everything I say is a lie (Except that of course) Nothing I say can harm you Words are not weapons The pen is not mightier than the sword I should know You have nothing to fear from me I'm only here because I’m concerned for my people I’ve seen all the horrors The suffering, the starvation, the failed marriages The dead babies Children crying on their mothers’ breast I tell you it’s a tragedy And one that I would like to put an end to Yes, that’s right, I intend to end all suffering No, really You think it can’t be done? Well, that’s what “they” would have you believe Of course “they” want the suffering to continue As long as you don’t actually die Because if you die Well, you don’t consume in Heaven She can’t hear any music can she? I know so well The taste of the strawberries in your hair Now I’m in Hell I see your face everywhere My heart broke up It was made of glass And in my coffee cup I found the grains of the past Spelling out your name Recording my every move Nothing stays the same I’m always fighting against the grove Everything change, yeah I’m looking for a leap of faith Nothing be strange I got emotion leaking from my face I know so well The taste of the strawberries in your hair Now I’m in Hell I see your face everywhere Is that made of glass? No, that’s made of pottery Has it got glass in it? No Oh, that’s OK then Can I see me?

The Same 05:46
This is my version Of a song you know so well This is my version of a kind of living hell It don’t matter my fingers hurt My throat is bleeding too I travelled long and hard to lay this shit on you Yeah I been through the desert Yeah I been through the storm Thirty years I built this house But it don’t keep me warm If you see me hanging around Don’t be afraid to sit right down We can talk I won’t ask your name We’re both the same Once I had a wife Babies on my knee Seemed like a good life Oh,now lucky me It don’t matter how much you love If you can’t feel the pain The world is full of tears Washing us down the detain It ain’t that you don’t matter ‘cause everyone’s a star, yeah Some reach that Milky Way But we won’t get far Little Johnny falls Down on the street But Mama picks him up, dusts him down And he’s back on his feet Did you ever shoot a man For what was in his head? Thoughts come spilling out The walls are running red That ain’t the way to change his mind He’s gone and he’s gone When you turn his world to dust Who you gonna put your burden on?
