Universe "Twilight Winter"

(lyrics found and bit modified)

* From album: "Universe"

Twilight is the hour of winter

Keep me from the cold

Twilight winter is descending

Soon will come the snow

Coming to get you

Gonna get me too

Tell the people winter's coming

Bitter winds and zones

Freeze the body to the marrow

Kill my aching bones

Twilight winter

Dreaming up

Twilight will be close upon us

Trying the nightly mist

Active is the brain inside me

Though my body rest

Twilight winter 

Coming to get you

Coming to get me too

Look out

Tapiman "Hey, You!"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Hey, You! / Sugar Stone" (EP)

Mother

Don't you get crazy? 

I feel so lazy 

Floating away

Woman

You ain't got no feelings 

I know what you're doing

I know your name

Take all your news close outside

Throw them away to the ground

People 

Looking for troubles

Come telling stories

It makes me smile

Hey, you! 

What is your number? 

What's going under? 

What's going up? 

Take all your news close outside

Throw them away to the ground

Hey! 

---------------------------------------------

Tapiman "Sugar Stone"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Hey, You! / Sugar Stone" (EP)

Drive your magic jet away to endless skies

You can get a great speed, no traffic lights 

Forty thousand feet from home and getting higher

Higher than the crazy clouds that float in fire

Get a stranger ready for the race

Get a stranger ready for the fame

Blind man driver screaming for more all the way

Laughing madly just because he's much insane

Changing badly the direction through the rain

Negative reactions of a rusty brain

 

Get a stranger ready for the race

Get a stranger ready for the fame

Don't know if it's really me, but I don't care

Blind man driver screaming for more once again 

Keep your head close to your feet, the sun is gone

Look away, the moon is just a sugar stone

[Get a stranger ready for the race

Get a stranger ready for the fame] 2x

Get a stranger ready for the race

Irish Coffee "The Beginning Or The End"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Irish Coffee"

I saw a child picking flowers today

I saw a woman crying for her dead man's grave

Has my God locked down my car

Lifted up my head and I asked myself why

Why are we living here 

And where did all the dead people send? 

Is life on Earth the beginning 

Or is it the end? 

And I wonder 

I wonder

Will we return to another land someday? 

Or die right here and never be elsewhere? 

The years we spend on Earth are going fast

Is there someone to tell me at last?

Why are we living here 

And where did all the dead people send? 

Is life on Earth the beginning 

Or is it the end? 

I just wonder

I wonder

What's become of me? 

Where I'm going to be? 

What am I going to see?

Why are we living here 

And where all the dead people send? 

Is life on Earth the beginning 

Or is it the end?

I said, why are we living here 

And where did all the dead people send? 

Is life on Earth the beginning 

Or is it the end?

Irish Coffee "Can't Take It"

(lyrics found and bit modified)

* From album: "Irish Coffee"

Video (with shorter version of song)

Longer version:

All the hurt you do me

Woman you just fool me

Do you really want me down?

You just laugh at my face

And you're ruining my days

You don't want me hanging around

I really cannot take much more girl

But I find it hard to break up

I can't take it

You're just changing like the weather

Since the day that we're together

Are you trying to pull me out?

You're part of the devil

Surely won't go to heaven

But I love you there's no doubt

I really cannot take much more girl

But I find it hard to break up

I can't take it

(+ For full version:)

All the hurt you do me

Woman you just fool me

Do you really want me down?

You just laugh at my face

And you're ruining my days

You don't want me hanging around

I really cannot take much more girl

But I find it hard to break up

I can't take it

Don't you laugh at my face

Don't you ruin my days

'Cause I can't take much more girl

Don't you try to put me down

To the ground

'Cause I need you

Don't ground your love

'Cause I love you

Darkness fills the sky

Destroying ones gone by

Evolution ends

Through minds, all evil means

It’s time after time

Our father of all time

Has finally blown his mind

Because of things we’ve done

He's finally

Overcome

Don’t people think we tried

Fighting suicide

Burns out fields and skies

Only Lord knows how we tried

Oh yes, we did, you know

(includes recordings from 1971-1975, 2020- released)

Like a river rolling by 

Like dark Egyptian sky 

Like thunder in my brain 

Like patterns it comes with rain

When people ask me why

They're watching the tears I cry

Their sorrow that I feel

Like rod with rusty steel

Like a river rolling by

Like dark Egyptian sky

Like patterns in my brain

Like thunder it comes with rain

Pretty girls in their worn out clothes

Standing there as though nobody knows

Can't you see and know what life will mean to them?

Well, can't you see, don't you [know 6x] 

That this life's not for me?

A smoke-filled room with its scruffy chairs

An angel that you see but nobody cares

They're leaving now you know but there's no applause

Well, can't you see, don't you [know 6x] 

That this life's not for me?

Oh, don't know right now

I'm only young you know but I've got my pride

I have a heart you see that feels deep inside

This ain't my scene you know so I'll say goodbye

Well, don't you know don't you [know] 6x

That this life's not for me?

Oh, can't you see it right now?

I'm leaving now, know well that I won't return

Well, I'm so young you see I've got to learn

I won't be back till I know that that's the way you care

But can't you see, don't you [know 6x] 

That this life's not for me?

Oh, why can't you see it right now?

(includes recordings from 1971-1975, 2020- released)

See the blind man walking down the road

See the beggar with his wooden bowl

See the people that are living on the streets

See the fathers going for their dough

See the rich man in his limousine

Owning houses that he's never seen

Spends his money on a worn-out dream

He buys his future from the human being

All right

Politicians searching for their goals

You don't know that you've sold your soul

Making policies never to be seen

You want a job but it's just a dream

Oh yes it is

Every day 

I would toil and I'd pray

I'd be working so hard

Trying to win your heart

Praying to Lord above

Trying to win your wondrous love

All I did was pray 

That my child would be my own one day

I said now all I can leave you 

Is the earth and the son

For although I might have grieved you

You are my only one

There's a cradle in the sky

For the child that's always high

And he might as well be dead

Or withdrawal is in his head now

Praying to Lord above

Trying to appeal for your love

Then I did start to fix

And from heroin I got my kicks

I was always high

Just waiting to die

Woman, oh, hear me pray 

That my mind will be my own one day

Now all I can leave you 

Is the еarth and my son

For although I might have grieved you

You arе my only one

There's a cradle in the sky 

For the child that's always high

And he might as well be dead

Or withdrawal is in his head now

A cradle in the sky 

For the child that's always high

And he might as well be dead

Or withdrawal is in his head now

Cradles in the sky

For the children that are always high

Might as well be dead

You get withdrawal right through your head

All I did was pray 

That my child might live one day

Oh, then I did start to fix

And from heroin he got all his kicks

And now all I can leave you 

Is the earth and my son

For although I might have grieved you

You are my only one

And there's a cradle in the sky 

For the child that's always high

And he might as well be dead

Or withdrawal has made him dead

I've seen you have your day

Things going right

I've seen you lose your way

And the feel wasn't there

No

Look at me

You do with your sad eyes

And you turn to me

You

Expecting me to make it right

But how can I

I've known you in my dream

When you're young and free

Yes, well

I've known you for a while 

And I've seen you smile

Yes, I am

Look at me 

You, with your sad eyes 

And you turn to me 

Expecting me to make it right

But how can I

Oh, you're lovely

But how you've changed

You say you love me and you do

Darkness comes well

I still keep walking

Cause I got no place to stay

I'm king of the road

And I don't do nothing wrong

King of the road

And I've been walking all night long

I've been many places I've ridden 

And I've never seen 

All I gotta do

Is put my bag and leave

I'm king of the road

And I don't do nothing wrong

I'm king of the road

And I've been walking all night long

Yes, I have

Why go back] 2x

They take your land and me

Take your life

Soldiers shoot at them

The people are falling

The voice of freedom 

Will soon be calling

I said don’t look down

And don't look back

You can kill them in the streets 

And keep fighting back

Now I'm on and on 

In garden path

I can see your streets 

Are free again

All right

Here we come

Listen man

I said come on 

We’re movin’ your people 

You gotta keep them movin’

All right

I hear your afirmant tonight

All right

I'd love to talk with them

You say: I fought a lot of battles

Of battles

You know- just go

You know- that I can

"Sail On" 

From album: "Kings Of The Road"

Her hair is shed
In the mid white breeze

Her fingers 

Are short and long

But that ship 

She just gets sailing on

She started to sing a song

[Sail on] 4x

Born on the waters

Temple of mights

Mist on the pillars

The flashing of light

On the battle we'd like 

The children of the sun

To see good tall vessels 

Go gallantly on

[Sail on] 4x

On

Through to the breeze 

She unbosoms the sail

And there no streams

All like open the gale

The winds come around 

In a howling song

So just rejoice 

As they barrel along

[Sail on] 4x

On

"Horse And Coke" 

From album: "Kings Of The Road"

I'm gonna take you down that Mississippi river

I'm gonna take you down and blow your mind

Ain't felt so free since we came into that river

I think my baby's gone and spiked my tea

Horse and coke

Well, baby, that's no joke

Horse and coke

I said it is no joke

Spoonful of coke just before my dinner

I'll have some horse as well before my tea

We had good times down Missouri, Mississippi

Country coke is good for you and me

Horse and coke

Well, baby, that's no joke

Horse and coke

I said it is no joke

Country coke

I said I love my coke

Horse and coke

Well, baby, that's no joke

Well, I'll sing this song

I guess I'll carry on

We say that love is bliss

So take it and don't let go

It's all so beautiful

So stop your crazy wars

And let's get out

You people know what I'm talking about

If God turned out the space

That's a piece of the human race

And let's get out

You people know what I'm talking about

The love that holds you- that's wrong

Every love that you're feeling- that's real

Your mind, that tiny mind is broken

Lets you know how to feel

The tears that fall are golden

Fall down to the stream

Your heart, that tiny heart is exalted

Of all hurt

(lyrics found and modified)

* From album: "Through The Years"

I’m not the broken- I forgot you, you won’t turn 

Did you think that it was my concern

Who'd even try to rule my mind

I can't see the truth, I'm so blind

I can find what I've been searching for

I'm not a mile from happiness nomore

Think about a few years ago

Don't think that you didn't know

Though, trough the years

Fate doesn't look in my eyes

Taking my time

Now I have got to sense, breathe the life

Trying to move

But there isn’t anybody here too soon

Try to believe

But there isn't anything that I can see

I’m not the broken- I forgot you, you won’t turn 

Did you think that it was my concern

Who'd even try to rule my mind

I can't see the truth, I'm so blind

Be like I want to be

Be through stormy weather

Me, I got to be free

Can't get no higher

There's my stormy weather

Even looking finer

Now I'm by myself together

Well, I want to get myself together

Be like I want to be

Be through stormy weather

Myself is gonna be free

Take it

Can't get no higher

Be is far as I have to go

Like a burned-out fire

Here there's I to know, get close

Well, I want to get myself together

Be like I want to be

Be through stormy weather

Myself is gonna be free

Wild Turkey "One Sole Survivor"

(lyrics found and bit modified) 

* From album: "Battle Hymn"

The people who cried 

Beneath their trash had died

Lost troughout time are the words of a lifetime

Praise not your name for as long as you're known

Keep to the path that your soul doth survive

Feelings for no one soon found in your strife

Feel free, you'll see

You have time to forgive

Stand clear, no fear

Forever you may live

Alone you stand on a tower of knowing

Watchin' over your world for what shame

Soon you'll appear to be without fear

Preaching the lessons your children will hear

Can feel free, you'll see

You have time to forgive

Stand clear, no fear

Forever you may live

Once in one's life there's a shadow of fear

Hold out your soul, never cry in the sun

Remember your children; there's love by your side

Remember your father who fought for your pride

Can feel free, you'll see

You have time to forgive

Stand clear, no fear

Forever you may live

Alone you stand on a tower of knowing

Watchin' over your world for what shame

Soon you'll appear to be without fear

Preaching the lessons your children will hear

Can feel free, you'll see

You have time to forgive

Stand clear, no fear

Forever you may live

Wild Turkey "Sentinel"

(lyrics found) 

* From album: "Battle Hymn"

Within the jungle hides

Climbing through the trees

Three orangutans resign 

Their lives to eating leaves

Staring into space

Never thinking why

Within the city's walls

Rushing underground

Commutor trios sit

And talk of things profound

Of what and why there are

Wonderous things to come

High above my head

Twirling in the sky

Three explorers bide 

Their time to wonder why

Why it is that we 

Are the way we are

Upon the ground I sit

My eyes forever scan

The ways of industry

The thoughts of fellow man

To watch, to think, observe

Find the answers why

(Source of image: discogs.com)

Grannie "Saga Of The Sad Jester" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Grannie"

The news was sent to the Jester

Amusement craved at the court

You must travel to the castle

Where the king is overwrought

Proclamation was in vain

Circumstances not the same

Funny man has gone away

Travelled deep into the night

Full of love yet full of fright

Left on horseback yesterday

The king stared blindly at the herald

Not believing what's said

Dare defy a royal summons

This would surely mean his head

Parchment givеn to his highness

In the fugitive's own hand

Stating all thе facts and reasons

For his leaving their fair land

I am sorry, I must go

I have found a love, you see

I am destined now to roam 

With my lovely Melanie

The king then mustered his fine army

Bade them ride to the sun

Bring back the Jester and his lady

You'll each have gold, yes, everyone

Soldiers came across the river

Lying by a giant oak tree

They found the coat of many colours

The laughter-maker was now free

I am sorry, I must go

I have found a love, you see

I am destined now to roam 

With my lovely Melanie

---------------------------------------------

Grannie "Romany Refrain" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Grannie"

A gypsy queen that's never seen

Comes gliding through the sunlight

She looks so fair, her raven hair

Hangs tangled yet serene

A caravan, the fiddler man

Makes good our atmosphere

My mind's eye cries

You'd better stay in disguise

To satisfy her dream

And I'm falling

Yes, I'm falling

No, I'm falling

I watch and wait while the stars hold our fate

Between the forming clouds

I see her walk, I listen to her talk

Such beauty can't be real

Seven dances from the moon

Woven by a gypsy tune

She moves lightly round the fire

Spurred on by the night God's choir

She comes close, her eyes find mine

Given back a different time

And I'm falling

Yes, I'm falling

No, I'm falling

A gypsy queen that's never seen

Comes gliding through the sunlight

She looks so fair, her raven hair

Hangs tangled yet serene

Seven dances from the moon

Woven by a gypsy tune

She moves lightly round the fire

Spurred on by the night God's choir

She comes close, her eyes find mine

Given back a different time

Grannie "Leaving" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Grannie"

Please, won't you tell me the road over there

Is that the way you'll be leaving?

I'm begging you now on my knees to take care

You know if you don't, I'll be grieving

If you wanna be free, I won't stand in your way

To follow the dream that is growing

Please, won't you listen before you move on?

I'd hate you to go without knowing

'Cause I've done the best I could

Treat you like I should

Tried to love you right

Each and every night

It don't seem too long since the first time we met

I know you felt diffеrent about me

It may be thе past but it's hard to forget

That you'd ever travel without me

I guess feelings change as the time rolls on by

I know love can die 'cause I've seen it

I know it's no good to live out a lie

Friendship with nothing between it

'Cause I've done the best I could

Treat you like I should

Tried to love you right

Each and every night

'Cause I've done the best I could

Treat you like I should

Tried to love you right

Each and every night

Please, won't you tell me? The road over there

Is that the way you'll be leaving?

I'm begging you now on my knees to take care

You know if you don't, I'll be grieving

If you wanna be free, I won't stand in your way

To follow the dream that is growing

Please, will you listen before you move on?

I'd hate you to go without knowing

That I've done the best I could

Treat you like I should

Tried to love you right

(lyrics found and bit modified)

* From album: "Socrates Drank The Conium"

Woke up knowing this could be a special day

Can't explain this feeling, but it's there

Listen that excitement- something's on the way

I can sense there's something in the air

Today's sun is changing

Something rare

I can sense there's something in the air

 

Birds are singing louder in the trees above

It’s just song they want, though warn, to share

Song of peace, of harmony is song of love

They can sense there's something in the air

This scene is happening

Something strange

I can sense there's something in the air

(lyrics found and bit modified)

* From album: "Socrates Drank The Conium"

Why the days are getting long 

When you starve and pray for bread? 

Men don't ask the God above

He's not the one to giving you help 

Turn out, look around you

People start do this 

For them a helping hand

Show them some care 

'Cause they cry for help

But no one cares

Give them some bread 

How can all these people live 

In the slums of the streets?

Angers got upon the smiles

Love, pain in the rise

Turn out, look around you

People start do this 

For them a helping hand

Show them some care 

'Cause they cry for help

But no one cares

Give them some bread 

Why the days are getting long 

When you starve and pray for bread? 

Men don't ask the God above

He's not the one to giving you help 

Turn out, look around you

People start do this 

For them a helping hand

Show them some care 

'Cause they cry for help

Baby, there's no need to worry, I said there's no need to fear

There's no need to speak and there's no need to say

We both know that we're slipping away

And the only thing is, it's not going to last

Baby time's always moving, gaining so fast

On the boat of our lives there's no need to say

We both know that we're slipping away

Time is our constant pain

And your mind is never quite the same

If you go I'll always be

And you know I'll always want you here

Now listen, babe

Life is a game played by the sun

The two of us living, living as one

Hanging on the air, the sky, the sea

But oh how great this is going to be

Orang-Utan "Fly Me High" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Orang-Utan"

Fly me high

To the sky

I've got to reach the clouds

Before I die

Hold my hand

I hope you understand

The way that my feelings are going

I say goodbye

Another time

I'd have to fix my load

Till I could die

By crossing the road

When I'm walking

The street in the cold of night

Hope that you'll pray babe

I won't die, I'll fly

You're walking past

The graveyard dank and cold

Oh the trees overhanging baby

You're so brave and bold

Fly me high

To the sky

I've got to reach the clouds

Before I die

Hold my hand babe

I hope you understand

The way that my feelings are going, girl

I say, yes, I say goodbye

Orang-Utan "Magic Playground" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Orang-Utan"

The scene is set, it waits for me

It's so nice, how can it be?

It's all a dream, I know it is

But wait a moment, what is this?

Back with the living, thank God for that

I try to recover the things that I lack

Happiness flows back into my head

I think I can go on safely to bed

It's a magic playground

Floating in the sky

And the way to get there

Is to trip out high

Red, white, yellow and green

These are the colours that I see

C’mon swing and fly and ride above the trees

And send your soul down to the sea

Come along, come along

Don't be shy, go there with me

And leave behind reality

The scene is set, it waits for me

It's so nice, how can it be?

It's all a dream, I know it is

But wait a moment, what is this?

Back with the living, thank God for that

I try to recover the things that I lack

Happiness flows back into my head

I think I can go on safely to bed

Orang-Utan "Chocolate Piano" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Orang-Utan"

I look out my window

At things that surround me

And chocolate pianos

Still play my, my tune

Are raindrops for gently

And strong people

Walking the streets

They're just trying to fight 

Babe

Walking the streets alone at night

You know I just try to avoid the people that fight

Walking with shoes that cool off my feet

They just carry me to where the night people meet

I'm gonna find

A place where they can exist or just what they like

Turning the wheels of fortune

For their own ends

Get back to my window

And those things still surround me

And chocolate pianos have finished there

They still play my, my, my tune

Walking the streets alone at night

You know I just try to avoid the people that fight

Walking with shoes that cool off my feet

They just carry me to where the night people meet 

Oh babe, babe, babe

You know what you got

November "Mount Everest (English version)"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Mount Everest / Nobody's Hand To Hold"

Your heart is cold 

and your soul is full of ice 

Your heart is cold 

and your soul is full of ice 

It's impossible to hate you 

but to love you is to die 

My Mount Everest 

So much colder than the world 

My Mount Everest 

You're much colder than the world 

So high, it's hard to reach you 

With your head up in the clouds 

You keep a secret

Locked away inside 

You keep a secret

Locked away inside 

And men have tried to rape you 

Many men have died 

My Mount Everest 

My Mount Everest 

It's impossible to hate you 

but to love you is to die 

It's impossible to hate you

so I'll love you till the day I die

November "Nobody's Hand To Hold"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Mount Everest / Nobody's Hand To Hold"

Things look strange with the fall of night 

When the air is cold with fear 

And people change with the fall of night 

There's nobody's hand to hold 

Lonely room, feeling close in it 

Touch the four walls from your bed 

Now you're screaming, cause no one can hear 

There’s nobody's hand to hold 

Shadows from hell on the wall 

When in the darkness and loneliness 

From somewhere outside 

Comes the sound under the bed 

[Things look strange with the fall of night 

And people change with the fall of night] 2x
