[Intro]
Riddle:
Saddle or saddled?
(Back in or burdened?)

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
Had to decide
Should I heed warning
Or ride on and die

[Chorus]
Riddle:
Saddle or saddled?
(Back in or burdened?)
’cause I’m back in the saddle (again)
Begin!

[Bridge]
(Tossing excess baggage)
Oops, there goes a trunk
(Who would’a thunk)
Glossing nemesis’ age
(Oops, there goes your case)
Smack dab in the face

[Verse 2]
Woke up this morning
My lucky day
Bleeded… then heeded the warning
Lived another day… to see another way

[Chorus]
Riddle:
Saddle or saddled?
(Back in or burdened?)
’cause I’m back in the saddle (again)
Begin!

[Bridge]
(Tossing excess baggage)
Oops, there goes a trunk
(Who would’a thunk)
Glossing nemesis’ age
(Oops, there goes your case)
Smack dab in the face

[Chorus]
Riddle:
Saddle or saddled?
(Back in or burdened?)
’cause I’m back in the saddle (again)
Begin!

[Outro]
(Tossing excess baggage)
Oops, there goes a ton of gold
(Humanity’s soul sold)
Glossing Nemesis’ Age
(Hubris has left the stage)
Me? I’m baggage free
(Living life happily)
And, I hope you, too
(Find your point-of-view)

[Intro]
The crowd got loud
(Bring on the Roud)

[Verse 1]
Whisper down the lane
Is never quite the same
A little day by day
Changes ‘long the way

[Bridge]
The crowd got loud
(Bring on the Roud)

[Chorus]
Navigation
(Through variation)
Lyric and music
(Quick!)

[Bridge]
Play another song
(So we can sing along)

[Verse 2]
A variant deviates
Observant hips gyrate
Improvisational
Spawns inspirational
(And on and on)

[Bridge]
The crowd got loud

ABOUT THE SONG
The Roud Folk Song Index is a database of around 250,000 references to nearly 25,000 songs collected from oral tradition in the English language from all over the world. The primary function of the Roud Folk Song Index is as a research aid correlating versions of traditional English-language folk song lyrics independently documented over past centuries by many different collectors across (especially) the UK and North America. It is possible by searching the database—for example by title, first line(s), or subject matter (or a combination of any of a dozen fields)—to locate many of the variants of a particular song. Comprehensive details of those songs are then available, including details of the original collected source, and a reference to where to find the text (and possibly music) of the song within a published volume in the EFDSS archive.

From the “Aardvark” sessions. Found only on the Unplugged Underground Vol. XXV collection.

[Verse 1]
There’s one for you
(And two for me)
When it’s all through
(Maybe you’ll see)

[Bridge]
Oh please (Swiss cheese)

[Chorus]
You’re strategy
(Is full of holes)
In relativity
(To reality)

[Verse 2]
Gonna take, take, take
(More than I make)
Makes it hard to forgive
(What little you give)

[Bridge]
Oh please (Swiss cheese)

[Chorus]
You’re strategy
(Is full of holes)
In relativity
(To reality)

[Bridge]
Oh please (Swiss cheese)

[Chorus]
You’re strategy
(Is full of holes)
In relativity
(To reality)

[Outro]
Oh please (Swiss cheese)
All your roles (full of holes)

[Verse 1]
Is this scene
Just a dream
All make-believe…
Irrationally conceived

[Chorus]
Living a fantasy
(That just can’t be)
I mean quite frankly
(This is pure insanity)

[Bridge]
In a fantasy land
(Not able to understand)
Man’s damned demand
(Is in full command)

[Verse 2]
Is what we’ve seen
A bad, bad dream
Our worst nightmare
To which no other can compare?

[Chorus]
Living a fantasy
(That just can’t be)
I mean quite frankly
(This is pure insanity)

[Bridge]
In a fantasy land
(Not able to understand)
Man’s damned demand
(Is in full command)

[Chorus]
Living a fantasy
(That just can’t be)
I mean quite frankly
(This is pure insanity)

[Outro]
In a fantasy land
(Not able to understand)
Man’s damned demand
(Is in full command)
Self-anoint to exploit
(Cast our fate to be too late)

[Intro]
(Are you alright)
Do you see the light

[Verse 1]
Shimmering off the surface
Shining up on the ceiling
Flowing chorus and verses
Seeing… hearing the feeling

[Bridge]
We’re all alright!
(Once we see the light)

[Chorus]
Do we see
(A reflection of you and me)
Do we shine
(Is it time to make the time)

[Verse 2]
Waves bouncing off the waves
Jumping and dancing back to us
It’s strange the way wave behaves
Into the center of the iris

[Bridge]
We’re all alright!
(Once we see the light)

[Chorus]
Do we see
(A reflection of you and me)
Do we shine
(It’s time to make the time)

[Bridge]
We’re all alright!
(Now we see the light)

[Chorus]
Yes we see
(A reflection of you and me)
Do we shine
(Yes! We shine, shine, shine)

[Outro]
We’re all alright!
(Now we see the light)
Reflecting back
(To those who lack)
Yes! We shine, shine, shine
(Shine on so fine)

[Verse 1]
Ignorance and arrogance
(All rolled in)
Selfish vanity
(All rolled in)

[Bridge]
It’s all rolled into one
(Who won… no one)

[Chorus]
Bit off more than you can chew
(Did you?)
Eyes bigger than your stomach
(Now what you ate makes you ache)

[Verse 2]
Dictator and agitator
(All rolled in)
Rape and a stolen take
(All rolled in)

[Bridge]
It’s all rolled into one
(Who won… no one)

Bit off more than you can chew
(Did you?)
Eyes bigger than your stomach

[Intro]
Tell me yes… or no…
(I’d really love to know)

[Verse 1]
The gravity of gravity
(Weighing down on me)
… or as I wait, is my weight…
(Bearing down on you?)

[Bridge]
Is your baggage cumulative
(… as you live….)
As you give, make, or take

[Chorus]
Tell me yes… or no…
(I’d really love to know)
Can you really be free
(On a victory spree)

[Bridge]
If it’s at the expense
(Of the both of us)

[Verse 2]
Is the drag of the drag
Causing friction…
Or a sag…
In your satisfaction

[Bridge]
Is your baggage cumulative
(… as you live….)
As you give, make, or take

[Chorus]
Tell me yes… or no…
(I’d really love to know)
Can you really be free
(On a victory spree)

[Bridge]
If it’s at the expense
(Of the both of us)
As you strive to stay alive
(… as you live….)
As you give, make, or take
(… as you live….)
As you give, make or break

[Outro]
As you strive to stay alive
(… as you live….)
As you give, make, or take
(… as you live….)
As you give, make or break
(What you give you derive)
… alive

[Intro]
The “might”
(At dizzying heights)

[Verse 1]
Climbing higher and higher
(One wrung at a time)
Aspire to be dire
(Crime after crime)

[Bridge]
The height
(Dizzying)
The fight
(Heightening)

[Chorus]
You better be careful
(After all, you might fall)
Never alone (throwing stones)
In glass houses…

[Bridge]
(One supposes)
Passion rouses

[Verse 2]
Hand over hand
(Step up… step upon)
Trampling of man
(How long can this go on?)

[Bridge]
The height
(Dizzying)
The fight
(Heightening)

[Chorus]
You better be careful
(After all, you might fall)
Never alone (throwing stones)
In glass houses…

(One supposes)
Passion rouses

Roach and a rat
(Disjointed noses)
And, that’s that

Henry!
(Where could he be?)

[Verse 1]
If you want
Take your baby elephant
For a walk
Far out enough…
Maybe even talk

Henry (Henry Mancini)
Such a perfect melody
Henry (Henry Mancini)
Play another one for me

What a wild answer
(Thought they were extinct)

[Bridge]
Henry!

Such a perfect melody

Play another one for me

[Verse 1]
Sniffing out clues
In search of prey
Gonna blow a fuse
By the end of the day

[Bridge]
Will the colony
(Save me?)

[Chorus]
The ant and the aardvark
(A never ending story)
Continuously embark
(The ending is gory)

[Verse 2]
Already paid my dues
Working day-by-day
No, can’t refuse
… can I get away?

[Bridge]
Will the colony
(Save me?)

The ant and the aardvark
(A never ending story)
Continuously embark

Will the colony
(Save me?)

The ant and the aardvark
(David and Goliath)
The situation’s stark
(A perilous path)
