Selma Selma, leave me here
March on, March on I'll pick up the rear
Your hair disheveled, your legs they are strong
I'll catch up with you before too long
Selma Selma I'll meet you there
And Free we'll be on Capitol square
I'll kiss yr neck, I'll squeeze yr hand
And Love you better as a free man
Keep eyes forward, yr legs they are love
Selma Selma, we've got to move
Selma Selma, yr legs they are love
Selma Selma, we've got to move

Noahs Lullabye
Let your dreams follow you
Into slumber from your life
Keep the nightmares fare away
In the madness of the light
Sleep, don't be afraid my love
The world you want will meet you there
Sleep, don't be afraid my love
I will meet you there

Cardinals Wing (Song)

After a long and lonely winter here in Louisville
Spring is opening just like a dream
There is music in the cafes down on Oak Street
There is Triumph underneath the cardinals wing
Can you believe after such prolonged abuse
Spring has the will (nerve) to come?
After a long and lonely winter here in Louisville
Theres purples and pinks in Cherokee
The bars open their doors to the patios
There short skirts and dresses at the University
After a long and lonely winter here in Louisville
You Guessed it! Theres dancing all around
So hop on a boat and swing a stranger
Hop on your sweetheart and go to town

Ivy in the Valley
03:21
|
|||
|
After a long winters haul
I felt Ivy crawl
Along forgotten walls
An Ivy bathed in milk
Soft as breath and light as silk
Along the red red brick
If you want to find me
I'll be wrapped up in the Ivy
All wrapped up in Ivy
Ivy of the Valley
Thats where I will travel
A place filled with milk and (of course) honey
If you really need to find me
I'll be wrapped up in the Ivy

Let it Lay Fallow
02:36

We are building, city upon city without grace
We are building, city upon city without grace
City upon city, often raized
Too much rubble to see his(its) face
Let it lay fallow, let it lay empty, just a little while
Even the best land must lay fallow part of the year
Even the best land must lay fallow part of the year
Without rest, it cannot hear
All the prayers sung for its ears
Let it lay fallow, let it lay empty, just a little while
Dear Elijah, without success, tried to come home
Poor Elijah, without success, tried to come home
To much darkness in his day
River of blood in his way
Let it lay fallow, let it lay empty, just a little while

One day Ahab and his men a sitting at the bar
C G C
Ahab said I'll not rest, I'll chase whale near and far
C F C
The men red faced and joyful, filling up on rum
F C G C
They did not see the shadows holding whale sized guns
Humpback Herschel and Harry marched into the room
They smelled of salt and krill and hibiscus perfume
They just returned from a swell Hawaiian orgy
And weren't to pleased to hear Ahab and his awful story
Ahab made a motion, and his crew did gather round
The bar grew silent and made an awful sound
Ahab pulled his harpoon and the Humbacks pulled theirs too
It didn't take too long to wipe out all of Ahabs crew
E Am
Sailing on the ocean line, you might just see
Those who murder in thousands for vice and gluttony
The nets and sails and salty tales, the whaling cavalry
D G
At least until they meet their doom
At the fins of Humpback Herschel and Harry
Old Svend Foyn from Norway was a naughty, naughty man
Many a whale died by his mind if not by his hand
His ship the Spes et Fides brought many a whale to doom
86 tons, 7 knots, and exploding harpoon
He's said to have brought riches to cold icy Norway
Funded an arctic exploration, eased workers on their way
But all of that meant nothing to the bloated rotting whale
And pumped the vengeful blood through Humback Harry and Hershel
They sailed on out to Tonsberg to put Svend in his grave
It was many a Nautical mile and many a treacherous wave
Coming upon the ship where Svend Foyn stood on deck
They pointed the cannon at the sails, put their fins on his neck
Sailing on the ocean line, you might just see
Those who murder in thousands for vice and gluttony
The nets and sails and salty tales, the whaling cavalry
At least until they meet their doom
At the fins of Humpback Herschel and Harry
Its been said that the Japanese have whaled since the 12th Century
That makes nearly 1000 years of murder in the first degree
Many have claimed the Humpbacks hold a murderous grudge
But Humpback Herschel and Harry claim they're just jury and judge
The International Court of Justice has 20 years said
You cannot killed the baleened ones and make the oceans red
And Greenpeace sails alone, a gruesome story they do tell
While far beneath the oceans top plot Humpback Harry and Herschel
Its been sometime since those two have staged a grave attack
But every son of a sailor knows the two will be back
They may have been recruiting and plotting a way
Be sure to listen for their battle song when you stand upon the shore
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
