Everybody Laughed
Lovely Face
Someone help him, someone help him get down
Someone help him, before he falls to the ground
No one helped him, no one helped him get down
And when he fell to the ground
Everybody laughed
Someone helped him lift his feet off the ground
Someone likes him, someone cares for his sound
No one wants him, no one wants him around
And when his feet touched the ground
Everybody left
No one loves him, no one cares if he’s sound
And when he breaks some new ground
Everybody laughs
Someone help him get down
Lift his feet off the ground
No one cares if he’s sound
Lovely face I never knew I’d know
Hold my place while I find a way to show
That I’ve never seen a face like that before
Lovely face I never knew I’d know
Take my grace and leave it out for more
No, I’d never seen a face like that before
Hold it out
From the Earth
Keep it warm
For all it’s worth
Between the oak leaves and the pavement, pots, and dirt
Such green was everything, such blue was seldom mirth
Toodle-loo, to walk away
From sand to sea
Between the foam and salty water lay some shells
The violent tide and hungry send scallops to hell, well
The fruits of everything
Their shells they tend to cut your feet
They seep and try to dye the sea
Too late to help them now
Lovely face I never knew I’d know
Hold my place while I find a way to show
That I’ve never seen a face like that before
The Balladeers
On the west side
There’s a place to hide
Where the trees they cast a shadow
As they dark the dogs and passersby
What a place to find,
Plenty filled and fortified
As we gaze upon the palisades
And watch the Hudson River’s tide
On the Chelsea piers
Busy docks and cavaliers
Couples prance along the promenade
And stop to watch the Balladeers
Manor Face
Violins, control yourself
The other upper strings brood on about your health
Precedence, in decline
Nothing ever came of pompous diatribes
Brought us sin, commonwealth
A fixture in the future, much more they can sell
I have my stakes set in nobody
Many more to break before I’m settled
Where I know I alone belong
See that he does no harm
Goodbye to Manor Farm
Say bye to bitter arms
So long my sinner
Daedalus, full of pride
Perdix is the partridge in the northern sky
Icarus, flying high
The partridge had the last laugh after he had died
I feel my feet under my body
My back is sore and twisted
On the top my hair lay greased and mangled
And it sticks to my outstretched arms
See that he does no harm
Let die the Manor Farm
See that he does no harm
Goodbye to Manor Farm
I Love You
My swollen heart is comforted with silence
The beat is like the drum of Jo Jones
Accompany start blasting out the trumpets
The echo off the wall shows you’re alone
I don’t wanna be this way forever
I don’t want to be this way for good
I know that I should’ve said I love you
Only if I could, only if I could
I know I should’ve called you ‘Baby’
Hold you tight, I bet I would
You’ve been my Aphrodite
I kinda wish I looked like Elijah Wood
I don’t wanna be this way forever
I don’t want to be this way for good
I know that I should’ve said I love you
Only if I could, only if I could
