Gary Brooker - The angler

Tekst :

The search is over, the battle done
The fish is beaten, the angler s won
But simple stories make longer tales
No consolation if he had failed

Through wind and desert, Blackberry Hole
Coyote and rattler had made him old
No it ain t easy, it s on the borderline
Between health and madness, the way he bides his time

Fin to fin in every log-jam
This is where they lie
The Deschutes is hot, the bottom s black
They re eye-to-eye
My oh my what fun to be on your own

Down foaming rapids into the deep black hole
Through thorns and rockslides for to reach his goal
And golden chances, he let them slip away
Or was he waiting for the Judgement Day?

They really nailed em on the deadline
This is where they lie
Where the water s fast, the current s strong, their eye-to-eye
My oh my what fun to be on your own

But on the thirteenth morning when the sun was high
he tricked that steelhead and saw the line go tight
Two spirits fighting, two creatures bold
Bad luck and trouble had finally lost their hold

Fin to fin in every log-jam
This is where they lie
The Deschutes is hot, the bottom s black
They re eye-to-eye
I see why he spend his time on his own

  • Get up and dance
  • The cycle
  • Low flying birds
  • Echoes in the night
  • Give me something to remember
  • Hear what youre saying
  • The long goodbye
  • Mineral man
  • Holding on
  • Missing person
  • Home loving
  • Lead me to the water
  • Let me in
  • A salty dog
  • Nothing but the truth
  • Hang on rose
  • Switchboard Susan
  • Count me out

    Worship conspiracy

    They ride all around town
    Get me to believe what they found
    They knock on my door saying jesus is not the lord

    Pray to buddha every day
    Put us to shame in every way
    Muslim fasting forty days
    We can t lift our hands in praise

    God deserves more than what we re giving him

    Bow to...

    Beyond of the ground

    Through the sky I ll fly so fast
    Into the chaos of fear
    I wanna know where do we go
    What is waiting in my future

    We never forget the pain
    We never give up
    Feeling the body heat

    I ll see the destiny that no one can exit
    But we will go

    On the road, I ll see...

    Come again

    There s been so much eye for an eye
    now i can t tell which cheek to turn
    look how we double deal
    just to keep the pack at bay
    ah now i m asking the whys & whens
    he s coming back for a...

    Alabamy bound

    I m Alabamy bound
    There’ll be no heebie jeebies hangin’ ‘round
    Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth..all I’m worth To put my tootsies in an upper berth.
    Just hear that choo-choo sound
    It means that pretty soon we’ll cover ground
    And then I’ll holler so the world will know
    here I go...
    I’m Alabamy...

    You

    Refrain:
    You gotta have it and I gotta have it
    Oh you gotta know it by now
    You gotta have it and I gotta have it
    Oh you gotta know it by now

    When I was younger, I couldn t find a way
