How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Aruntraveller]

Ahem - I apologise in advance:

Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Only going forward 'cause we can't find reverse.

Lt. Uhura, report.
There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.

Analysis, Mr. Spock.
It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it;
it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.
There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got me a chimney made on top,
Made from a human skull,
Now come on, take a little walk with me,
Now who do you love?

Come on Arlene, take me by the hand,
Let me know you understand,
Who do you love? ...

Ride nine times on the midnight train
Through the fire and cold rain,
Who do you love? ...

I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying,
Who do you love? ...

(darn .. I think I've posted that before ... and it has lots of our most popular words...)

[Aruntraveller]

Down on nightmare alley, where the shady people sway
A hobo came a-hikin' on a salty summer day
Well he hopped a freight in Dallas, and he rode out of sight
But on a turn he slipped, and he lost his grip
And he fell in-to the night.

Who are you? Who are you?
Where have you been, where are you going to?
Well, Andrew McCrew must have lost his way
'Cause though he died long ago he was buried today.

Well, Andrew had one leg of wood, the other leg was small.
And when he fell off the train that night he found he had no legs at all.
Well they found him in the thicket, and the undertaker came.
And they mummified his body for a relative to claim.

Who are you? Who are you?
Where have you been, where are you going to?
Well, Andrew McCrew must have lost his way
'Cause though he died long ago he was buried today.

Jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days
she says a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
she's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
and her neverborn child still haunts her
as she speeds down the freeway
as she tries her luck with the traffic police
out of boredom more than spite
she never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
she's obvious despite herself
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
she says all she needs is therapy yeah
all you need is, love is all you need

[Udayana]

Where did you get that hat
Where did you get that tile
Isn't it a knobby one
In just the proper style
I should like to have one
Just the same as that
(Where 'ere i go they shout)
"Hello, where did you get that hat?"

[Aruntraveller]

By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
For I'm not worth it, you see

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
I'm telling you that's my home
You had romance, did you break it by chance
Over me?

[Nearly Sane]

[Udayana]

Now when I go to work, I work all day,
Always turns out the same.
When I bring home my hard-earned pay
I spend my money all on mary jane.
Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane.

Oh if a man should look tame now, mean and mature,
They all turn out the same.
cause they cant do nothing to make a man feel good
Like my old mary jane.
Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane.

[Nearly Sane]

My sweet Lady Jane
When I see you again
Your servant am I
And will humbly remain
Just heed this plea my love
On bended knees my love
I pledge myself to Lady Jane
My dear Lady Anne
I've done what I can
I must take my leave
For promised I am
This play is run my love
Your time has come my love
I've pledged my troth to Lady Jane
Oh my sweet Marie
I wait at your ease
The sands have run out
For your lady and me
Wedlock is nigh my love
Her station's right my love
Life is secure with Lady Jane

[Robbie]

A little less wholesome:-

Mary Jane's flowers, Mary Jane's flowers
Mary Jane's flowers, Mary Jane's flowers
That kush, that kush, that kush
That kush, that kush, that kush
That kush, that kush, that kush
That kush, that kush
Mary Jane's flowers

I don't smoke no reggie, I don't smoke no mid
I'm always fucking high, so much we might have kids
And why you babysitting a blunt, that's that shit I don't like
I'm looking for one of these bad bitches to come ride me like a turnpike
On some real shit, I'm a pothead, please don't blow my high man
Look into my eyes and it look like I'm from Thailand
I am smoking on that gas, life should be on Cinemax
Smoking on that OG in that Double R, I'm real relaxed
I smoke so much kill, they call me Killa
And I'm on that strong, I'm on that strong, bodybuilder
Light that shit and pass it, my white girl on that acid
But me I'm on that kush, that kush
Tunechi

And I got a big bouquet of Mary Jane's flowers
Mary Jane's flowers, Mary Jane's flowers
And I got a big bouquet of Mary Jane's flowers
Mary Jane's flowers, Mary Jane's flowers
That kush, that kush, that kush
That kush, that kush, that kush
That kush, that kush, that kush
That kush, that kush
Mary Jane's flowers

[Nearly Sane]

You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me

Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling alright
Well, you just roll over
And you turn out the light

You don't bring me flowers anymore

[Aruntraveller]

Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
And yellow roses scattered all around
The time was still approaching four
I couldn't stand it anymore
Saw marigolds upon my eiderdown

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me good

[Udayana]

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

[Nearly Sane]

I first felt a fist, and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs
And too many right wing meetings
My life swam around me
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather
It blended in with the weather
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth
It blocked all my senses
Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight

[Robbie]

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out

You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
Think of all the time you waste
And time's a precious thing to let go by
Sure you've hit the bottom
But remember you'll be building from the ground up
Ev'ry day's another step
That takes you even closer to the sky, so give a try

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out

[Nearly Sane]

I work on the front line
I work to survive
I sleep in a fever
So this is my life

I cry in my sleep (Cry boy, Cry boy)
Just makes me weep when I try, how I try
Know what it means to work hard on machines
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

Working for reason (Day in, Day out)
Trying to hard (He's trying too hard)
Moving in circles (Too hot, Too hot)
Don't get very far (Don't get very far)

Should I ask you to dance (Dance Boy, Dance Boy)
If I promised romance would you come for the ride
I know what it means to work hard on machines
Will you believe in love, one that lasts for all time

You take me up 
You take me up to the higher ground
You take me up
So high
Now I never want to come back down

[Aruntraveller]

Funny how a lonely day, can make a person say
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart, can make me start to say
What good is my life
Funny how I often seem, to think I'll find never another dream
In my life
Till I look around and see, this great big world is part of me
And my life
This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be

This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live

[Nearly Sane]

You fill the air with smiles 
for miles and miles and miles 
Though you're no Mona Lisa 
for world's I'd not replace 
your sunny-- Funny Face

I love your Funny Face 
your sunny-- Funny Face 
you're not exotic 
but so hypnotic 
you're much-- too much 
if you can cook 
the way you look

[Robbie]

There she goes with her
Nose in the air.
Funny how
Love can be.

Wonder why she
Pretends I'm not there.
Funny how
Love can be, girl.

Funny how love
Can be.

There she is with
That look in her eye.
Hasn't got time
For me.

Does she know
How it's making me cry?

Funny how love
Can be, girl.

[Nearly Sane]

There she goes, she's walking away
Each step she takes, brings the heartaches my way
He won her heart, I lost her someway
There she goes she's walking away

If I hadn't cheated, if I hadn't lied
I'd be the one, walking by her side
I love her still and I guess that it shows
She's walking away there she goes

[Udayana]

There she goes again
She's out on the streets again
She's down on her knees, my friend
But you know she'll never ask you please again

Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes
She won't take it from just any guy, what can you do
You see her walkin' on down the street
Look at all your friends she's gonna meet
You better hit her
...

[Nearly Sane]

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe 
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve 
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry

Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by 

[Aruntraveller]

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian

[Nearly Sane]

It's just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat
Only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only just one more
To this desolate shore
Last boat along the river Nile
