I better take off my coat for this one In good old colony times when we lived under a king Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing The first he was a miller, and the second now was a weaver And the third he was a little tailor boy three roguish chaps together The miller he stole him some corn and the weaver he stole some yarn And the little tailor boy stole fabric enough to keep those three rogues warm Hey now hey ho now hi cheer for the long-gone king Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing The miller got drowned in his dam and the weaver got hung in his yarn And the sheriff clapped his hands on the little tailor boy with the fabric under his arms The sheriff held on to a bolt or two the tailor boy went free It became the talk of the town for a while til the tailor boy was lost at sea Hey now hey, ho now hi cheer for the long-gone king Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing The sheriff held on to a bolt or two the tailor boy got set free It became the talk of the county for a while til the tailor boy was lost at sea In good old colony times when we lived under a king Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing

Unicorn 03:00

In a dream in love you were falling It was not true Then I saw a unicorn calling How do you do And the unicorn said Nothing here for me And the unicorn left Heading out to sea In a dream, my love, I was failing In a deep hole I saw the unicorn a-sailing Beyond the shoal And my love clearly said Yes you’re in a mess My love had final words Good luck and God bless in a dream, my love, I was failing In a deep hole I saw the unicorn a-sailing Beyond the shoal I dreamed the flowers were sighing They spoke you see Then I saw a hummingbird flying It stopped by me And the flowers all said Hummingbird hello The flowers offered up Sweet nectar to go In a dream In love you were falling But not for me If a unicorn comes calling She’ll stop for tea The unicorn will say There’s a world to view And that’s true I’ll say Just not how I do The unicorn will say Well that’s up to you In a dream in love you were falling But not for me If a unicorn comes calling We’ll sip our tea

We looked for dark clouds but we missed a few Didn’t count on the things that fate could do And one day we were through And the rain falls The rain falls They say the rain falls On everyone You laughed when it rained. He took you away And then you let him go. That’s what you say That ship gone far away And the rain falls The rain falls They say the rain falls On everyone So here we are, the place we know Place everyone goes Where it rains Cold and slow I watch your movies on a too small screen And I chose my nowhere where I'm not seen I am lost, in-between And the rain falls The rain falls They say the rain falls On everyone Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-dooba-dooba Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-dooba-dooba And the rain falls The rain falls They say the rain falls On everyone Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-dooba-dooba Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-dooba-dooba Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-dooba-dooba Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-dooba-dooba Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-da Shoo-ba-dooba-dooba

Road I been walking down is a thousand miles long Every mile tells me my path went wrong So now let this turn out right Get back to what I left I wanna I wanna go back Go back home This ship I’m sailing on the waves don’t rise, they fall And with every wave, I hear the past recall So now let this turn out right Get back to what I left I wanna I wanna go back Go back home This life I’m living now, have to change it all I know This prodigal son has been laid too low, too low But can I go back Have friends forgiven my loans Has the one I loved been in black Will I be welcomed when I go back home But can I go back Have friends forgiven my loans Has the one I loved been in black Will I be welcomed Can I go back home This train I’m riding on is thirteen coaches long Mystery train promise me my city’s not gone So now let this turn out right Get back to what I left I wanna I wanna go back I wanna now Go back home Go back home Go back I wanna go back I wanna go back

Late Late Show 03:13
lyrics

I remembered this job from long ago I showed movies, as college friends know Art house films, a soul patch scene
People who would know every classic of screen Always after the 1 AM show On the weekends once the customers go Private shows for cineaste friends We didn’t care that a good thing always ends Come on by, a movie and classic Come on by, it will be fantastic After everyone goes, it’s our late, late show Discussed for hours what did Fellini mean With a Christ statue over Rome scene Debate got hot, Godard or Truffaut Pumped with passion into sunrise we’d go Talk past dawn, a cheap grill downtown Families sitting for their Sunday hash browns Young and confident, we saw our fates Art! revolution! Not to sail domestic straits Come on by a movie and classic Come on by, it will be fantastic After everyone goes, it’s our late, late show Then one day, it was real jobs and real grad schools Memories and fights left behind, our paradise for fools Wife and I riffing on Antonioni Blow-up fronted by a fatuous phony Why discuss mime tennis on a lawn We don’t care and the kids are up at dawn Over hash browns I think was that real Risible youth denying life’s deal Hold that thought, kids, you know you gotta share And I hear laughter from a table over there Come on by a movie and classic Let’s get lost and remember fantastic After childhood goes, it’s our late, late show Come on by and find a new classic Come on by, it will be fantastic After childhood goes, it’s our late, late show Come on by, our autumn of content Come on by, kids are out, Cats for rent The movie we show now, it’s our late late show

Ships will come and ships will go as long as the tides do rise Each sailing lad, just like his dad will be captured by pretty eyes Some gal ashore, he will adore. She’ll like him too no doubt But when the money is gone, it’s the same old song Get up, Jack, John sail on Come along, come along, my jolly brave tar There’s lots of grog in the jar Come sail the rolling ocean and most the seven seas With our jolly roving tars Jack’s on shore and he beats his way to some boarding house He’s welcomed him in with rum and gin, likewise with port and souse He’ll spend and spend and never offends till he lies drunk on the floor But when the money is gone, it’s the same old song Wake up, Jack, John sail on Come along, come along, my jolly brave tar There’s lots of grog in the jar Come sail the rolling ocean and most the seven seas With our jolly roving tars Come sail the rolling ocean and most the seven seas With our jolly roving tars Jack is old and weather beaten, too old to gad about In some spirits shop, they’ll let him stop but at 8 bells he’s tossed out He’ll cry and sigh up to the skies, Good Lord, I’m homeward bound But when the money is gone, it’s the same old song Get up, Jack, John Sail on Come along, come along, my jolly brave tar There’s lots of grog in the jar Come sail the rolling ocean and most the seven seas With our jolly roving tars Come sail the briny ocean and most the seven seas With our jolly roving tars

Round Nassau Town 03:42

We sail on the Sloop John B My grandfather and me Round Nassau town We did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight And now I’m locked up I wanna go home. The John B is a rundown ship But passes ev'ry inspection When the harbor master comes on board The cap'n takes a collection. So, h'ist up the John B sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the captain ashore Let us go home. Sheriff John Stone Please leave us alone I feel so break-up, I wanna go home It was a trip so rare we had a paid fare A lady was on board Topside she stayed, but below the decks There her luggage was stored Oh the first mate he got drunk Smashed in the lady's trunk. Constable had to come And take him away. Sheriff John Stone Won't you leave me alone. I feel so break-up, I wanna go home. In Nassau we docked and took shore leave To see us ev'ry sight A sailor said his ship’s cook was the worst So that started a fight Cause our cook is none too quick His grub just makes us sick Yes now even when The ocean is calm Oh Sheriff Stone, sir Please let us leave here We’ll board the John B and we will be gone So, h'ist up the John B sail See how the mainsail sets. Ask for the captain to come And pay up our bail Let us go home Oh Sheriff John Stone This is the worst trip since I’ve been born

On a Rising Wind 03:04

The magistrate looked down and sternly spoke - I confess t'was to me The choice was two by ten in the King’s jail or two years on the cruel sea And so we sailed And so we sailed It’s fairly clear that all on board have a story or two they don’t tell And the dockside wishes were less bon voyage more go to hell And it’s fare well. Fare the well Fare well my friends and kin And it’s fare well. Oh to sail again On a rising wind Who can count all the polity, all the lessons we never learned All the bridges that were not so much torched as defiantly spurned And so we sailed And so we sailed And it’s fare well. Fare the well Fare well my friends and kin And it’s fare well. Oh to sail again On a rising wind A squall blew up and I’m down below amidst the rising sick and fear And there’s naught but one vanity left, to plot how I got here And so we sank And so we sank And it’s fare well. Fare the well Fare well my friends and kin And it’s fare well. Oh to sail again On a rising wind And it’s fare well. Fare the well Fare well my friends and kin And it’s fare well. Oh to sail again On a rising wind
