How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Aruntraveller]

Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again
You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day

[Nearly Sane]

Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
 And every time that I was down
 You would always come around
 And get my feet back on the ground

 Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
 When all the birds are singing in the sky
 Now that the spring is in the air
 With the flowers everywhere
 I wish that we could both be there

 We had joy, we had fun
 We had seasons in the sun
 But the stars we could reach
 Were just starfish on the beach

[Robbie]

We took a vow in summertime
Now we find ourselves in late December
I believe that New Year's Eve
Will be the perfect time for their great surrender
But they don't remember
Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing

Singers harmonize till they can't hear anything
I thought that I was free from all that questionin'
But every time a problem ends, another one begins
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die

[Nearly Sane]

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says 
Say it's true it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two 
We can be one

[Robbie]

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day
In a dream that's divine

My prayer is a rapture in blue
With a world far away
And your lips close to mine
Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same
For as long as we live
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

My prayer is to linger with you
My prayer is a rapture in blue

[Nearly Sane]

Everything is wonderful
Being here is heavenly
Every single day, she says
Everything is free

I used to be so careless
As if I couldn't care less
Did I have to make mistakes
When I was Mary's prayer?

[ekim]

Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find a way

There is none so blind as he who will not see
We must not close our minds, we must let our thought be free
For every hour that passes by, you know the world gets a little bit older
It's time to realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

[Aruntraveller]

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?
You've got to get up every morning
With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

[Nearly Sane]

 The return of the Thin White Duke
 Throwing darts in lovers' eyes
 Here are we, one magical moment
 Such is the stuff, from where dreams are woven
 Bending sound, dredging the ocean
 Lost in my circle
 Here am I, flashing no colour
 Tall in this room overlooking the ocean
 Here are we, one magical movement
 From Kether to Malkuth
 There are you drive like a demon
 From station to station

[Robbie]

Roll up roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up
That's an invitation
Roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up
To make a reservation
Roll up for the Mystery Tour

The Magical Mystery Tour
Is waiting to take you away
Waiting to take you away

[Nearly Sane]

Somewhere in the distance
Hidden from the view
Suspended in the atmosphere
Waiting to come through
Sometimes it's so far away
Sometimes it's very near
A sound being carried by the wind
Just loud enough to hear
I feel it's power within me
Bells ringing in my head
So often I have heard it's cry
But forgotten what it said

It's a mystery, oh, it's a mystery
I'm still searching for a clue
It's a mystery to me
A shot in the dark
The big question mark in history
Is it a mystery to you?

[Robbie]

With the wind in the willows
The birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie...
We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine
To share on our journey with all of mankind.

So I asked them to tell me their name and their race
So I could remember each smile on their face
"Our names, they mean nothing...
They change throughout time
So come sit beside us and share in our wine

[Aruntraveller]

When I think more than I want to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she, coming to me nearly here?

[Robbie]

I spent all my money on women and wine
And didn't, give enough time to the rhythm and rhyme
I stay focused on the nickel and dime
I should be, Benjamin thinking
But when I get them I be spending them drinkin'
And then I wake up, feelin' nervous and lifeless
A thin line between worthless and priceless

When my life gets confusing ahead of me
I don't ever solve problems I just start boozin' heavily
In san diego I got off work everyday around four
And every single day the roadworker next door
Comes home with an eighteen pack
Of miller high life

I said, my life is heading down a path thats way too sim-
Ilar, I'd prefer not to end up like him
And I'd look up and I'd cringe
But everytime I try to change I say fuck it and binge
Thats my life

[Nearly Sane]

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said I'd have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that you told me were only in jest

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me as oft' times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

[Aruntraveller]

As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry Mountains
I saw Captain Farrell
And his money, he was countin'
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya"
I took all of his money
And it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money,
Yeah, and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me,
No, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman,
Yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There's whiskey in the jar, oh

[Nearly Sane]

I'm the dandy highwayman
Whom you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash
On looking flash
And grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo
And your record collection
The way you look, you'll qualify
For next year's old age pension!

Stand and deliver
Your money or your life
Hoh!

Try to use a mirror
Not a bullet or a knife
Hoh!

[Robbie]

Everyone thinks they know the story
Of Dick Turpin's highway glory
But my past is far more gory
Was no saint
You think life is one big antic
My profession is romantic
Hate to be pedantic
But it ain't

(Huh!)

As a butcher down in Essex
I was handy with a knife
Had a sideline as a poacher
Led a less than honest life
The notorious gang of Gregory
Liked my style and dedication
They signed me up and gave me
A real robber's education

We rampaged through the Essex farms
We stole and robbed and fought
But when the law came for us
I escaped and they got caught
I was no prince charming
Nothing dandy about me

[Nearly Sane]

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old Macheath, babe
And he keeps it, out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears old Macheath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, ooh, sunny morning, uh-huh
Lies a body just oozin' life
Eek, and someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

[Robbie]

Dun ah dun ah
dun ah dun ah dun dun dun dun DAAAAAAA
dun ah dun ah dun dun dun dun Dahhhhhhh
there's a fishy in the sea and his name is me
there's a fishy and he is really mean
fishy fishy fishy
fish fish fish
He is the bish bosh bop
he has a big bad cock
OHHHHHHHH

i love the fishy in the sea.
The big bad mean really really mean fishy
My fishy!!!!!
My lovely dubby kissy wissy fishy!!
With a heart as blue as the SEAAAAA
OHHHH

[Aruntraveller]

The berth surrounding my body crushing every bit of bone
The salt, it seeps in through the pores of my open skin
I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue sea
I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue

Welcome to my cage, little lover
Attempt to rearrange with you, baby
Still don't know your name, Miss Honey
Let's go up in flames, pretty lady

[Nearly Sane]

We glide
Far below the rolling tide
Serene
Through the bubbly blue and green


It's lovely, bobbing along
Bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea
What if the octopus
The flounder and the cod
Think we're rather odd
It's fun to promenade
Bobbing along, sing a song
On the bottom of the beautiful briny sea

[Robbie]

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

[Nearly Sane]

How many insects find their home
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some I know
Those I miss I hope you'll pardon
Dragonflies, moths and bees
Spiders falling from the trees
Butterflies sway in the mild gentle breeze
There are hedgehogs that roam
And little gnomes
In an English country garden.

[Robbie]

No body likes me
Every body hates me
Guess i'll go eat worms
Big fat juicy ones
Long thin slimey ones
Itsy bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms
Downgoes the first one
Down goes the second one
Oh how they wiggle and squirm
Big fat juicy ones
Long thin slimey ones
Itsy bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms

Up comes the first one
Up comes the second one
Oh how they wiggle and squirm
Big fat juicy ones
Long thin slimey ones
Itsy bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms
