'I'd rather be a rising ape than a fallen angel', it is far more interesting.”

love to be loved
So, you know how people are
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go
And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around
me, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes, I love to be loved
I cry the way that babies cry
The way they can't deny
The way they feel
Words, they climb all over you
'Till they uncover you
From where you hide
And in this moment, I need to be needed
When my self-esteem is
sinking, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Oh I love to be loved
This old familiar craving
I've been here before,
this way of behaving
Don't know who the hell
I'm saving anymore
Let it pass let it go let it leave
From the deepest place I grieve
This time I believe
And I let go ]
I can let go of it
Though it takes all the strength in me
And all the world can see
I'm losing such a central part of me
I can let go of it
You know I mean it
You know that I mean it
I recognize how much I've lost
But I cannot face the cost
'Cause I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go
And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around
me, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes, I love to be loved
I cry the way that babies cry
The way they can't deny
The way they feel
Words, they climb all over you
'Till they uncover you
From where you hide
And in this moment, I need to be needed
When my self-esteem is
sinking, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Oh I love to be loved
This old familiar craving

Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved

"Hello Again" Tommy Bolin (a man deep in purple)
Slowly that scent reaches me,
The perfume you wear I can't forget.
Floating so lightly upon the air,
Just like the smoke from a cigarette.
I just turned around and there you were,
Returning almost faster than you'd gone.
My, but times been good to you,
Sleek and graceful as a swan.
And by the way, hello again.
I'm so pleased to have your company.
We'll count the stars under misty sky,
And watch them fall into the sea.
Your voice so whispers soft and smooth,
Telling me tales of a human cloud.
Who walked a thousand miles,
Just to touch their ladies gowns.
A noble thought, there's no doubt,
And I must confess I can't compete.
Clouds that walked a thousand miles,
Just to touch their ladies feet.
And by the way, hello again.
I'm so pleased to have your company.
We'll count the stars under misty sky,
And watch them fall into the sea.

Copenhagen and the "BIG WHEEL."
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing
I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of axis over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
And i'll show you sunset sometime again
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while anot
Copenhagen 'faces problems'
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing
I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of axis over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town

THE SONG OF WANDERING AENGUS by W B Yeats
Sung by Donovan
I WENT
out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And some one called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

court and spark
Love came to my door
With a sleeping roll
And a madman’s soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman
To court and spark
He was playing on the sidewalk
For passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So he buried the coins he made
In people’s park
And went looking for a woman
To court and spark
It seemed like he read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him
And still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
I worry sometimes
All the guilty people, he said
They've all seen the stain-
On their daily bread
On their Christian names
I cleared myself
I sacrificed my blues
And you could complete me
Id complete you
His eyes were the color of the sand
And the sea
And the more he talked to me
The more he reached me
But I couldn’t let go of L.A.
City of the fallen angels
With a sleeping roll
And a madman’s soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman
To court and spark
He was playing on the sidewalk
For passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So he buried the coins he made
In people’s park
And went looking for a woman
To court and spark
It seemed like he read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him
And still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
I worry sometimes
All the guilty people, he said
They've all seen the stain-
On their daily bread
On their Christian names
I cleared myself
I sacrificed my blues
And you could complete me
Id complete you
His eyes were the color of the sand
And the sea
And the more he talked to me
The more he reached me
But I couldn’t let go of L.A.
City of the fallen angels

(I say again) Music is my Blanket Music is my sanctuary
Emotionless this city lies
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
The dark, the dark
Shades on my day
I live inside this place
Locked up inside my metal cage
Always tense and filled with rage
Above the concrete fields below
With you I wanna go, wanna go
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
yeah-ah
My blanket covers me, yes
Yeah, check it
Yeah as a human i was bored and pumpin breakin on the lino(?)
Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro
Used to stand in line so's I can sign my gyro(?)
But now my ends are meet I did the best way that I know
Tsk skkkk tsh and the beats that go boom
See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom
All the beats & melodies
That keep realities at bay
But what happen when the records sounds start to fade away, fade away
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
yeah-ah
My blanket covers me, yes
I feel like nelly nell? from way back in the days
As i wonder how i keep from going under
I got trouble on my mind like my name is chuck d
And like marvin gaye it makes me wanna holler
When the music hits me
I feel no pain
That's why i got to put you on again and again
I take the needle off the technics
And put it in my vein
All my troubles get crushed
As the rush hits my brain
And away it goes, the trouble down the drain
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only who I wanna be
yeah-ah, yeah-ah
My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only who I wanna be
yeah-ah, yeah-ah
My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
The dark, the dark
Shades on my day
I live inside this place
Locked up inside my metal cage
Always tense and filled with rage
Above the concrete fields below
With you I wanna go, wanna go
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
yeah-ah
