Style

you've got the money, i've got the time

you want your freedom, make your freedom mine

'cause i've got the style it takes

and money is all that it takes

you've got connections, i've got the art

you like my attention and i like your looks

and i have the style it takes

and you know the people it takes

why don't you sit right over there, we'll do a movie portrait

i'll turn the camera on and i won't even be there

a portrait that moves, you look great i think

i'll put the Empire State Building on your wall

for 24 hours glowing on your wall

watch the sun rise above it in your room

wallpaper art, a great view

It Takes

i've got a Brillo box and i say it's art

it's the same one you can buy at any supermarket

'cause i've got the style it takes

and you've got the people it takes

this is a rock group called The Velvet Underground

i show movies on them, do you like their sound

'cause they have a style that grates

and i have art to make

let's do a movie here next week

we don't have sound but you're so great

you don't have to speak

you've got the style it takes, kiss

you've got the style it takes, eat

you've got the style it takes, couch

you've got the style it takes, kiss

Peter, Paul & Mary

Early Morning

in the early morning rain

with a dollar in my hand

and an aching in my heart

and my pockets full of sand

i'm a long way from home

and i miss my loved one so

in the early morning rain

with nowhere to go

cut on runway number nine

big 707 set to go

i'm stuck here on the ground

where the cold winds blow

the liquor tasted good

and the women all were fast

there she goes, my friend

she's rolling down at last

Rain

hear the mighty engines roar

see the silver bird on high

she's away and westward bound

far above the clouds she'll fly

where the morning rain don't fall

and the sun always shines

she'll be flying over my home

in about three hours time

this old airport's got me down

it's no earthly good to me

because i'm stuck here on the ground

cold and drunks as i might be

you can't hop a jet plane

like you can a freight train

so i'd best be on my way

in the early morning rain

Is There Any Way Out

i can clearly see nothing as clear

i keep falling apart every year

let's take a hammer to it

there's no glamour in it

is there any way out of this dream

Crystal Gayle /// *

Of This Dream ?

i'm as blue as i can possibly be

is there someone else out there for me

summer is dragging its feet

i feel so incomplete

is there any way out of this dream

summer is dragging its feet

i feel so incomplete

is there any way out of this dream

Leonard Cohen

Oh, my dear friend

explain me again

everything about life

Joan Of Arc

she said, i'm tired of the war

i want the kind of work i had before

a wedding dress or something white

to wear upon my swollen appetite

well, i'm glad to hear you talk this way

you know i've watched you riding every day

and something in me yearns to win

such a cold and lonesome heroine

and who are you?, she sternly spoke

to the one beneath the smoke

why, i'm fire, he replied

and i love your solitude

i love your pride

i saw her wince, i saw her cry

i saw the glory in her eye

myself i long for love and light

but must it come so cruel

and oh, so bright
