Hello
darkness, my old friend
Ive come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In
restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And
in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools
said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And
the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence
Simon and Garfunkel -
El Condore
I'd
rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes i would, if i could, i surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes i would, if i only could, i surely
would
Away,
i'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound
I'd
rather be a forest than a street
Yes i would, if i could, i surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes i would, if i only could, i surely woul

: Logical Song
When I was
young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical...
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd
be singing so happily
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me
how to be sensible
And they showed me a world where I could
be so dependable
Clinical, intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the worlds asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what we've
learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Now watch what you say, or they'll be calling
you a radical
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to
feel you're
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what we've
learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

- Fools ouverture
History recalls how
great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats
put out to sea
Born on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to
find
Too late, the prophets cry
The islands sinking, lets take to the
sky...
Called the man a
fool, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day
he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
So tell me that you
find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds
to sow
Well I know, I know, I know...
Can you hear what
I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
Holy man, rocker man, come on queenie,
Joker man, spider man, blue eyed meanie
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, lets go crazy,Yeah!

- Babaji
All
of my life I felt that you were listening
Watching for ways to help me stay in tune
Lord of my dreams, although confusion
Keeps trying to decieve
What is it that makes me believe in you?
Babaji, oh won't
you come to me
Won't you help me face the music
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Help me to find it before we lose it
At night when the stars are near
And there's no one to keep you from coming
here
And there's no one to shield me before
your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to
know?
I can see it's not
too good to me
To be afloat in the sea of glory
Babaji, oh how you comfort me
By showing me it's a different story
Your light in the dark is real
And I know that you know it is how I feel
When I see the reflections that's in your
eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to
know?
Babaji, have you
a song for me
To tell the world of its guardian angel
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Oh must you always remain a stranger?
At night when the stars are near
And I long for delusion to disappear
The I see the reflection that's in your
eyes
Is it time, is it time, is it time to
know?

- Try Again
Later
that evening, only a feeling
But it was there in the air that we share
in the twilight
Humming a sad song, where was our day
gone
But in the dark was a spark a remark I
remember
"Try again" she replied to some
story I told
"Try again" yes I will if I
can
All I need is somebody to hold
Learning a feeling, seeking
a meaning
Finding a way should she stay how to say
let's imagine
Maybe I'll go wrong, it may not last long
But in the night ?how? delight most be
right for this moment
"Try again" she replied to some
story I told
"Try again" yes I will if I
can
All I need is somebody to hold
"Try again"
she replied to some story I told
"Try again" yes I will if I
can
All I need is somebody to hold
"Try again"
she replied to some story I told
"Try again" yes I will if I
can
All I need is somebody to hold

- Crime of the Century
Now they're planning
the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
How they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and
glory?
Rip off the masks and let's see.
But that's not right - oh no, what's the
story?
There's you and there's me
That can't be right
Rolling
Stones - Angie
Angie,
angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from
here?
With no loving in our souls and no money
in our coats
You cant say were satisfied
But angie, angie, you cant say we never
tried
Angie, youre beautiful, but aint it time
we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all
those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed
to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from
here?
Oh, angie, dont you weep, all your kisses
still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But angie, angie, aint it time we said
good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money
in our coats
You cant say were satisfied
But angie, I still love you, baby
Evrywhere I look I see your eyes
There aint a woman that comes close to
you
Come on baby, dry your eyes
But angie, angie, aint it good to be alive?
Angie, angie, they cant say we never tried

Head - Never Even Thought
Never even thought it could happen to
me,
Maybe I've been blind, only others can
see... I'm in love
What am I to do, can I let it show ?
Do I keep it to myself, or should I let
her know : I'm in love
Do I nurse it in my heart, hold it back
in my eyes,
Holding on inside up alone in the sky
I'm in love
Never god are playing games
Even suffer the pain, let the secret out
Even suffer the dark, I'm in love
I know it's all there I really want to
share
my life with someone else... Will she
feel the same?
Never even thought it could happen to
me
Maybe I've been blind only others can
see ... I'm in love
What am I to do can I let it show
Do I keep it to myself or should I let
her know I'm in love
Isn't so easy when you've broke on before
It isn't so hard when you're ready for
more
Could you love me ?
Give me simple true, anything would do
So long is I know what's in me is in you
Could you love me ?
I've got so much of care to give away
There's only one thing I want to hear
you say : "I love you"
Never god are playing games
Even suffer the pain, let the secret out
Even suffer the dark
I'm in love
I know it's all there I really want to
share
my life with someone else... Will she
feel the same?

Head - Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't
so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
Ain't I got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't
so
I'm sure they telling us lies Joe,
Please tell us it ain't so.
They told us our hero has played his
trump card
He doesn't know how to go on.
We're clinging to his charm and determined
smile,
But the good old days have gone.
The image and the empire may be failing
apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together,
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't
so
We pinned our hope on you Joe
And they're ruining our show
