ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER (Bob Dylan)
"There must be some kind of way out of here"
Said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth"
"No reason to get excited"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late"
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
But outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

"License To Kill" (Bob Dylan)
Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please
And if things don't change soon, he will
Oh, man has invented his doom
First step was touching the moon
Now there's a woman on my block
She just sit there as the night grows still
She say who gonna take away his license to kill ?
Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life
And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill
Then they bury him with stars
Sell his body like they do used cars
Now, there's a woman on my block
She just sit there facing the hill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill ?
Now, he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill
All he believe are his eyes
And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Now there's a woman on my block
Just sitting there in a cold chill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill ?
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker
Heartbreaker, backbreaker
Leave no stone unturned
May be an actor in a plot
That might be all that you got
'Til your error you clearly learn
Now he worships as an altar of a stagnant pool
And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled
Oh, man is opposed to fair play
He wants it all and he wants it his way
Now, there's a woman on my block
She just sit there as the night grows still
She say who gonna take away his license to kill ?

Without No Trouble

WITHOUT NO TROUBLE
We can leave without no trouble
If we start learning from the past
We can give the name of life
To all Gods, that’s what they said
You can leave without no trouble
Take time respect yourself
Cos life is wild and there’s no double
Only free minds hit the wave
So don’t make it down!
I don’t wanna let it down, here’s my day
I wanna make it shine
I don’t wanna let it down, here’s my life
I wanna make mine
I don’t wanna let it down, here’s my day
I wanna make it shine
I don’t wanna let it down, here’s my life
I wanna feel it mine
No trouble if we only tried to be a little humble
No trouble if we only helped each other through the struggle
No trouble if we only avoided creating problems
No trouble if we learned how to show love for one and other
No trouble if we discovered the brighter side of other cultures
acknowledge others as sisters and brothers
No trouble if we tolerated different colours
appreciated humans not counting them as numbers.
We can learn from the past
let hate be the past
let's not repeat the mistakes
let life be precious today.
I don’t wanna let it down, here’s my day
I wanna make it shine
I don’t wanna let it down, here’s my life
I wanna make mine
I don’t wanna let it down, here’s my day
I wanna make it shine
I don’t wanna let it down, here’s my life
I wanna feel it mine
We can leave without no trouble
If we start learning from the past
We can give the name of life
To all Gods, that’s what they said
You can leave without no trouble
Take time respect yourself
Cos life is wild and there’s no double
Only free minds hit the wave
So don’t make it down!

Throw my ticket out the window
Throw my suitcase out there, too
Throw my troubles out the door
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you
Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive
You cast your spell and I went under
I find it so difficult to leave
I can hear that whistle blowin'
I see that stationmaster, too
If there's a poor boy on the street
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
Throw my ticket out the window
Throw my suitcase out there, too
Throw my troubles out the door
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

Dirge

I hate myself for lovin’ you and the weakness that it showed
You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel
I hate myself for lovin’ you and I’m glad the curtain fell
I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed
And the mercy that you showed to me, who ever would have guessed?
I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within
That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin
Heard your songs of freedom and man forever stripped
Acting out his folly while his back is being whipped
Like a slave in orbit, he’s beaten ’til he’s tame
All for a moment’s glory and it’s a dirty, rotten shame
There are those who worship loneliness, I’m not one of them
In this age of fiberglass I’m searching for a gem
The crystal ball up on the wall hasn’t shown me nothing yet
I’ve paid the price of solitude, but at last I’m out of debt
Can’t recall a useful thing you ever did for me
’Cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees
We stared into each other’s eyes ’til one of us would break
No use to apologize, what diff’rence would it make?
So sing your praise of progress and of the Doom Machine
The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen
Lady Luck, who shines on me, will tell you where I’m at
I hate myself for lovin’ you, but I should get over that

SO CLOSE, SO FAR (Shinuh LT Holt)
Can’t bring back yesterday,
Live for today with hopes for tomorrow
Don’t let love just fade away,
I’m here to stay
Without you there’s sorrow
I know times are changing
Our love we can make it, if we really try
Our love can’t escape it, we won’t separate
Til the end of time
And our love is, so close, so far, from me now
To see your smile
And our love is, so close, so far, from me now
Real love I found
Oh my love, my life you changed
Don’t go away, you keep me from sleep at night
And if you don’t come back again
I’ll lose my friend, you please me
For our love I’ll fight
I know times are changing
Our love we can make it, if we really try
Our love can’t escape it, we won’t separate
Til the end of time
And our love is, so close, so far, from me now
To see your smile
And our love is, so close, so far, from me now
Real love I found
I know times are changing
Our love we can make it, if we really try
Our love can’t escape it, we won’t separate
Til the end of time
And our love is, so close, so far, from me now
To see your smile
And our love is, so close, so far, from me now
Real love I found
So close, so far, from me now
To see your smile
So close, so far, from me now
Real love I found

LIFE IS HARD (Bob Dylan)
The evening winds are still, I’ve lost the way and will
Can’t tell you where they went, I just know what they meant
I’m always on my guard, Admitting life is hard, Without you near me
The Friend you use to be, So near and dear to me
You sleep so far away, where did you go astray
I pass the old school yard, Admitting life is hard, Without you near me
Ever since the day, The day you went away
I felt an emptiness so wide
I don’t know what’s wrong or right
I just know I need strength to fight
Strength to fight that world outside
Since we’ve been out of touch, I haven’t felt that much
From day to barren day, My heart stays locked away
I walk the boulevard, Admitting life is hard, Without you near me
The sun is sinking low, I guess it’s time to go
I feel a cheely breeze, in place of memories
My dreams are locked and barred, Admitting life is hard
Without you near me.

GIVE ME A SIGN (Ludovic EMERY)
Getting you inside my arms babe
Give me a sign from your heart
Don’t be shy, let your sighs go
Just like a river I can see them flow
Do you feel my breath in your hair ?
Like a sweet breeze from nowhere
Wipes away your tears, and blow away your fear
Just like the wind it will never go
When you’re sittin on my lap
You take a rest you feel alright
Let yourself go, troubles fade away
Every singlr thing’s gonna be OK
The shelter of my arms, warm you a bit
I can hear the rythm of your heart eat
Slow down my babe, don’t move too much
I get burned with the fire of your burning touch
There always come a time, babe
Always come a day
You can see those signs
Taced upon your mind
Don’t ever look back
You know your life is on one track
You’ve got to open your heart and open your mind
And you’ll always feel fine
Getting you inside my arms babe
Give me a sign from your heart
Don’t be shy, let your sighs go
Just like a river I can see them flow
Do you feel my breath in your hair ?
Like a sweet breeze from nowhere
Wipes away your tears, and blow away your fear
Just like the wind it will never go
