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
Inne utwory
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 Losowe utwory
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...
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...
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...
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...
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
