letra de Mother and Child Reunion
No I would not give you false hope

On this strange and mournful day

But the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine

I can't for the life of me

Remember a sadder day

I know they say let it be

But it just don't work out that way

And the course of a lifetime runs

Over and over again

No I would not give you false hope

On this strange and mournful day

But the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine

I just can't believe It's so

Though it seems strange to say

I never been laid so low

In such a mysterious way

And the course of a lifetime runs

Over and over again

But I would not give you false hope

On this strange and mournful day

When the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away

Oh the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away

Oh the mother and child reunion

Is only a moment away

letra de Duncan
Couple in the next room

Bound to win a prize

They've been going at it all night long

Well, I'm trying to get some sleep

But these motel walls are cheap

Lincoln Duncan is my name

And here's my song, here's my song.

My father was a fisherman

My mama was the fisherman's friend

And I was born in the boredom

And the chowder

So when I reached my prime

I left my home in the Maritimes

Headed down the turnpike for

New England, sweet New England

Holes In my confidence

Holes In the knees of my jeans

I was left without a penny in my pocket

Oo-we I was about destituted

As a kid could be

And I wished I wore a ring

So I could hock it, I'd like to hock it.

A young girl in a parking lot

Was preaching to a crowd

Singing sacred songs and reading

From the Bible

Well, I told her I was lost

And she told me all about the Pentecost

And I seen that girl as the road

To my survival

Just later on the very same night

When I crept to her tent with a flashlight

And my long years of innocence ended

Well, she took me to the woods

Saying here comes something and it feels so good

And just like a dog I was befriended, I was befriended.

Oh, oh, what a night

Oh what a garden of delight

Even now that sweet memory lingers

I was playing my guitar

Lying underneath the stars

Just thanking the Lord

For my fingers,

For my fingers

letra de Everything Put Together Falls Apart
Paraphernalia

Never hides your broken bones

And I don't know why

You want to try

It's plain to see you're on your own

Oh, I ain't blind, no

Some folks are crazy

Others walk that borderline

Watch what you're doing

Taking downs to get off to sleep

And ups to start you on your way

After a while they'll change your style

I see it happening every day

Oh spare your heart

Everything put together

Sooner or later falls apart

There's nothing to it, nothing to it

And you can cry

You can lie

For all the good it'll do you

You can die

But when It's done

And the police come, and they lay you down for dead

Just remember what I said

letra de Run That Body Down
Went to my doctor yesterday

She said I seem to be O.K.

She said

"Paul, you better look around

How long you think that you can

Run that body down?

How many nights you think that you can

Do what you been doin'

Who you foolin?"

I came back home and I went to bed

I was resting my head

My wife came in and she said

"What's wrong, sweet boy, what's wrong

Ah, I told her what's wrong

I said "Peg, you better look around

How long you think that you can

Run that body down?

How many nights you think that you can

Do what you been doin'

Now, who you foolin?"

Kid, you better look around

How long you think that you can

Run that body down?

How many nights you think that you can

Do what you been doin'

Who you foolin?

Armistice DayVer letra 3:55

letra de Armistice Day
On Armistice Day

The Philharmonic will play

But the songs that we sing

Will be sad

Shufflin brown tunes

Hanging around

No long drawn blown out excuses

Were made

When I needed a friend she was there

Just like an easy chair

Armistice Day

Armistice Day

That's all I really wanted to say

Oh I'm weary from wailing

In Washington D.C.

I'm coming to see my Congressman

But he's avoiding me

Weary from waiting down in Washington D.C.

Oh Congresswoman

Won't you tell that Congressman

I've waited such a long time

I've about waited all I can

Oh Congresswoman

Won't you tell that Congressman

letra de Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
The mama pajama rolled out of bed

And she ran to the police station

When the papa found out he, began to shout

And he started the investigation

It's against the law

It was against the law

What mama saw

It was against the law

The mama looked down and spit on the ground

Every time my name gets mentioned

The papa said, "Oy, if I get that boy

I'm gonna put him in the house of detention"

Well, I'm on my way

I don't know where I'm going

I'm on my way

I'm taking my time

But I don't know where

Good-bye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they come and

Take me away

But the press let the story leak

And when the radical priest

Come to get me released

We was all on the cover of Newsweek

And I'm on my way

I don't know where I'm going

I'm on my way

I'm taking my time

But I don't know where

Good-bye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

Peace Like a RiverVer letra 3:20

letra de Peace Like a River
Peace like a river ran through the city

Long past the midnight curfew

We sat starry-eyed

Oh, we were satisfied

And I remember

Misinformation followed us like a plague

Nobody knew from time to time

If the plans were changed

Oh, if the plans were changed

You can beat us with wires

You can beat us with chains

You can run out your rules

But you know you can't outrun the history train

I've seen a glorious day

Four in the morning

I woke up from out of my dreams

Nowhere to go but back to sleep

But I'm reconciled

Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while

Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while

Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while

Papa HoboVer letra 2:34

letra de Papa Hobo
It's carbon and monoxide

The ole Detroit perfume

And it hangs on the highways

In the morning

And it lays you down by noon

Oh Papa Hobo

You can see that I'm dressed like a schoolboy

But I feel like a clown

It's a natural reaction I learned

in this basketball town

Sweep up

I been sweeping up the tips I've made

I been living on Gatoraae

Planning my getaway

Detroit, Detroit

Got a hell of a hockey team

Got a left-handed way

Of making a man sign up on that

Automotive dream, oh yeah

Oh Papa Papa Hobo

Could you slip me a ride

Well, It's just after breakfast

I'm in the road

And the weatherman lied

letra de Paranoia Blues
I got some so-called friends

They'll smile right to my face

But, when my back Is turned

They'd like to stick it to me

Yes they would

Oh no no, oh no no

There's only one thing I need to know

Whose side are you on

I fly into J.F.K.

My heart goes boom boom boom

I know that customs man

He's going to take me

To that little room

Oh no, no. Oh no, no

There's only one thing I need to know

Whose side are you on

Whose side are you on

I got the paranoia blues

From knockin' around In New York City

Where they roll you for a nickel

And they stick you for the extra dime

Anyway you choose

You're bound to lose in New York City

Oh I just got out in the nick of time

Well I just got out in the nick of time

Once I was down in Chinatown

I was eating some Lin's Chow Fon

I happened to turn around

And when I looked I see

My Chow Fon's gone

Oh no, no. Oh no, no

There's only one thing I need to know

Whose side are you on, whose side are you on

There's only one thing I need to know

Whose side, whose side, whose side

letra de Congratulations
Congratulations

Oh, seems like you've done It again

And I ain't had such misery

Since I don't know when

Oh, and I don't know when, oh, and I don't know when

I notice so many people

Slipping away

And many more waiting in the lines

In the courtrooms today

In the courtrooms today

Love is not a game

Love Is not a toy

Love's no romance

Love will do you in

And love will wash you out

And needless to say

You won't stand a chance, you won't stand a chance

I'm hungry for learning

Won't you answer me please

Can a man a woman

Live together in peace

Oh, live together in peace
