Friends of Mine Lyrics
[Part 1]
Friends of mine don't have the time for food or wine
Just money is on their minds
Life is sweet on a one-way street
They're indiscreet and funny, they'll never meet
B-bay, b-bay, b-bay, b-bay, bay, baby
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta do it to a duck on a two-ton truck
And fade away like Ron Rene
Alright, alright
[Part 2]
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
And Kurt is the Walrus
And Kurt is the Walrus
And the Walrus does funny things to the veins in his left arm
Alright
[Part 3]
And Michael is now a father, alright
And Michael is now a proud father, alright
And my good friend Michael is now a proud father
And Michael is now a father, alright
And that means Michael's wife is a mother, alright
[Part 4]
Up the thirteen steps of the gallows
Walked the condemned man
And time passes very quickly when death is near
After having completed the first step
The condemned man knew there were but twelve left
Before he would meet death and his soul would leave his body
And after having completed the thirteen steps
The condemned man was met by a giant cloaked figure
And with a quick flick of the wrist, the man was dead
And his soul left his body and went down, down, down
To a place we laughingly refer to as Hell
But none of us will ever go there
Because we're all far too groovy
The man's body was left to rot on the gallows
And a great multitude of black birds came
And picked the man's corpse apart
Piece by piece, limb by limb
Until nothing remained
And his blood melted into the ground below
The gallows was made from a tree created by God
The man's blood dripped into the ground
Which was created by God
Even the giant cloaked figure which was the man's own end
Was created by God
Even the man's soul which went down was created by God
Even the black birds which picked the man's corpse apart
Were created by God
And where was God?!
[Part 5]
In Flanders Fields, the poppies grow
Between the crosses row on row
To mark the dead
To Flanders Fields, the hippies go
To smoke the poppies there below
And feed their heads
And they're all friends of mine
Each and every one of them
No better or no worse
And we'll probably end up down there together when it's all over
And that's why we say
B-bay, b-bay, b-bay, b-bay, b-baby
It's all over and it's alright
Lightfoot Lyrics
[Chorus]
He is an artist, he is an artist
He is an artist painting Sistine masterpieces
Of pine and fir and blackwoods
Still echoes long ago
The winter night of Black July
And then the outcome of an early Cleveland rainfall
I sit softly among the rest
Waiting there for him to paint his pictures
And as the go-go-girl went around
And our heads were in a spin
I thought above the crossroads in the early morning rain
And Rosanna
I'm not saying that I'm sorry
I'm just telling you this story
And when Lightfoot's magic calls
You can write it on your walls
Because that's what walls are for
[Chorus]
Love and a Yellow Rose Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
Although I see her
She's baiting, baiting
Although she's gone
She's waiting, waiting
[Chorus 2]
She brought me love and a yellow rose
I took her love and her yellow rose
Before the day ends the rose will die
[Verse]
She comes each day with the morning, morning
She leaves each night with the evening, evening
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 3]
And when the evening comes she takes her
Life and night away from me once more
I can no longer see her face once more
Before the rose will die
Please come back without the rose
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 3]
And when the evening comes she takes her
Life and night away from me once more
I can no longer see her face once more
Before the rose will die
Please come back without the rose
Please come back without the rose
Maple Fudge Lyrics
[Verse]
Miss Fudge is only waiting for a man to come her way
She has been waiting 80 years for Mr. Maple
But he doesn't know that she is waiting too
It's nothing new
Mr. Maple gets up early every morning
Cooks his breakfast all alone, the house is cold
He needs a woman's hand to comfort him in his reclining years
He overhears
The people on the street they pass him by and sort of snicker
In his younger years he should have been a little quicker
For in the hand of someone he could love but who's to judge
If he'll ever have a meeting with Miss Fudge
Miss Fudge's hopes were fading that a man would come her way
She had been darning no ones socks and when the years crept up her misery
Just slowly pushed her on
And now she's gone
Mr Maple's life alone was just too much for him to bear
And in his heart he knew there'd never be someone to comfort him at times he cried
And then he died
But everything is better now
They're both at last together
The question now is answered for all those who wondered whether
They each at last had found a friend and if they did misjudge
Their tombstones side by side read Maple Fudge
