Coversong originally made famous by ELO

D        A             G
In this life I've seen ev'rything I can see, woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've see babies dancin' in the midnight sun
I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men cryin' at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sittin' watchin' picture slides
G     D          A            G
But I never seen nothin' like you

D            A       G
Do ya, do ya want my love? x4

Well, I heard the crowd singin' out of tune
As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you

In the country where the sky
Touches down on the field
She lay her down to rest in the mornin' sun
They came -a-runnin' just to get a look
Just to feel, to touch her long black hair
They don't give a damn
But I never seen nothin' like you

Do ya, do ya want my love?

Well I think you know
What I'm tryin' to say, woman
That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know
That I've got to get it all
To get it all to grow

LYRICS
Momma’s gotta problem
Doesn’t like the Prez.
Momma plays the doldrum
I’s more mezzed
The boy’s gotta problem
Doesn’t like the Prez.
The boy plays the doldrum
I’s more mezzed
Mesmerized… mesmer-eyes

Mamma’s in grief
Can’t get relief
Night had a thief
Stole all relief
The boy’s in grief
Can’t get relief
Night had a thief
Stole all relief

Left right
By a thief in the night

LYRICS
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It’s alright we know where you’ve been
You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and ‘scouting for boys’
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn’t like school, and you
Know you’re nobody’s fool
So welcome to the machine

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You’re nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying ‘Keep on digging’
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You’re nearly a laugh
You’re nearly a laugh
But you’re really a cry

Another Brick Part IV
I don’t need no walls around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on tRump’s wall
Don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
No, don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
All in all we’re all just bricks in tRump’s wall
All in all you were all just bricks in tRump’s wall

(And, Mexico is going to pay for it? Stand still, Donny!)

LYRICS
Ain’t seen it before

Just when I thought I couldn’t see any more
Low and behold… what walks through the door?
Ain’t seen it before

Your faith’s been ripped
Your beliefs’ been tore
Too much political blood and gore
Ain’t seen it before

There’s the ____________ (fill in a political office)
Acting the whore
How much more do we need to endure?
Ain’t seen it before

There’s the rat bastard
At the backdoor
Trying to break in
And steal some more
Evil and rotten to the core
Ain’t seen it before

LYRICS
I dream of a land
Where they understand
What it means
To command
The scenes
Free of obscenes
From see to shining see

Wanna live in a land
Where they understand
How to think
A reprimand
To the stink
No more fires fanned

You can’t fight fire with fire
Without causing a burn
You can’t fight fire with fire
When will we learn

LYRICS
The kettle’s whistling… must be a sign
Time to act before you’re out of time
Hurry, Son, remove it from the heat
Before all the steam you deplete
Turn down the heat
Too much conceit
Sentiments roiling
Society’s boiling

Can’t wait waiter
There’s a fly in my soup
See ya later
Tired of being the dupe
Cuckoo bird’s done flown the coop
Getting out of the endless loop group
Your rational is hazy
Making me dizzy
Your mind’s lazy
Throwin’ a tizzy

If you can’t sing
And you can’t dance
Do you even stand a chance
Of being free
Can you tell me?

Here’s the thing

Give you a fighting chance
Of being free
You’re tellin’ me

What you bring
To the dancehall dance
Gives your soul a chance
Of being free
Lord, set me free!

LYRICS
It’s hard to believe
The misdeed
Hard to concede
To tyranny
You know it can’t come to fast
For karma to kick ’em in the ass

It’s hard to believe
The misdeed
Hard to concede
To tyranny
You know it will come at last
When all things will pass

It’s hard to conceive
The sheer greed
Hard receive
Wantin’ta grieve
Has the role in which you’re cast
Thrown you behind a scary mask

It’s hard to conceive
The sheer greed
Hard receive
Wantin’ta grieve
All your gall and bombast
A shadow in which you bask

All your gall and bombast
A shadow in which you bask

You better think quick

Sick, sick, sick
Better think quick

Not since “Tricky Dick”
Have we seen such a trick (or such a ….)
Pull the wool over our eyes, I’s, eyes, I’s
Better think quick
’cause it’s a trick
A sick, sick, sick trick

While taking the pulse of the nation…. (D.O.A.)
It’s a nay, nay, nay tion
A nay shame nation

Hey, hey, hey
Nay, nay nation
Damnation
Like living in hell
And, well
That won’t be for me
Will it do for you
You better look quick
’cause it’s a trick
You better think quick
‘cuase it’s a trick
