(McCarthy) It's happened again, I have come to the end Of an episode in my life Time to begin to look to within myself To save my life The bubble has burst and I've fallen to earth And it's now my time to decide How I will live, what I will do Is one plus one really two I've lost all my chips and I've broken my wrist And my heart is not too strong But I'm feeling fine cuz I've still got a mind And I can tell right from wrong The axe hasn't fallen on my neck as yet So I'll take advantage of time To make up my mind, see what I can find To make up my mind, see what I can find Back to top of

mystery of the fall The worth of all Remembers the message and the call Please send help, please We don't know where we are We are five and fifty on the call The dog will lead you here To the place of the fall A childish hand had written the curse of all The words the peasants read, the fall And since that time two years have passed The starving dog is dead now The dog is dead now Back to top of

dime to my name Just my guitar and a song A policeman said "move along" He told me to be on my way He said that I just couldn't stay I wondered what have I done wrong Since when did they outlaw a song Oh, but I don't know Where I'll go Wherever I may roam With my guitar I'm home I had a good job long ago But the smoke rings of music did blow Now singing is all I can do Just humming and strumming the blues With my guitar in my hand I'm singing as good as I can And if I amuse you I'm glad And if you reject me I'm sad Oh, but I don't know And I don't care Wherever I may roam With my guitar I'm home Back to top of page NEET STREET (McCarthy) Neet Street, in the white of the afternoon With the sun in a humming tune Feelin' groovy all over-y clover all over On Neet Street, where the flowers grow all around And the children can be found To be easily captured in rapture all over Neet Street, uh huh, yeah Neet Street, uh huh, yeah Sippin' through a sunlight serenade Watching dustmen dance away On the slopes of the air on a chair I'm aware of moving to a higher atmosphere Where the people thrive on cheer Smilin' to one another, baby sister and brother Neet Street, uh huh, yeah Neet Street, uh huh, yeah Moving, uh huh, yeah, moving Like a daffodil in the sun Everybody knows we're one To be loving is easy as a-one-two-three-see In heaven, anybody can be you While you go wandering through The garden of being, you're seeing the meaning Of Neet Street, uh huh, yeah Neet Street, uh huh, yeah Back to top of page WOMBAN (Kessler) I was talkin' with my woman And I said, uh, I said
