Last night I watched a fervent couple conquer whip and spur
Hearts pumping in their breasts, along the shoreline they did run
Til they fled into the ocean and Poseidon's cool embrace
And found a world where men and horses live side by side as one
Tempering desire with a vow of secrecy
But all the pretty wild horses couldn't drag it out of me
Trying to destroy an inner harlotry
But all the pretty wild horses couldn't drag it out of me
If the flesh is more than willing, and the spirit lies as weak
Then the penalty is grim, as all the pretty horses know
You'll be shackled to their tails as they run off in four directions
And the heart is torn asunder, but the spirit free to go
Tempering desire with a vow of secrecy
But all the pretty wild horses couldn't drag it out of me
Trying to destroy an inner harlotry
But all the pretty wild horses couldn't drag it out of me
And when I breathe my last, don't throw me six feet underground
'Cause I'll never rest in solace for a moment even then
Just scatter all my ashes on the backs of those wild ponies
That I may at last run with them, my body to transcend
Tempering desire with a vow of secrecy
But all the pretty wild horses couldn't drag it out of me
Trying to destroy an inner harlotry
But all the pretty wild horses couldn't drag it out of me

I'm gonna tell you a story in a figure of speech
About a little boy who was born in a peach
Well, a little old man and an old lady too
Raised him up as their own, and he grew and grew
'Til he was biggest and strongest of them all, they say
He said "I'm gonna fight the devil on the island someday,"
Momotaro-San! Momotaro-San!
He took dumplings in his belt of the very best
Along came a dog to join him in his quest
Then a monkey and a pheasant soon completed the team
And they came to the island to fight Akandoji
You know that Momotaro won and tied the devil down
And he gathered up the riches and won great renown
Momotaro-San! Momotaro-San!
A whopping big return for everybody to see
Of Momotaro-San and his companions three
And the little old lady and the little old man
Lived happy ever after as according to plan
So if you ever think your dreams are too far out of reach
Just remember Momotaro who was born in a peach
Momotaro- San! Momotaro-San!

Wasted Years

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but
someone else
I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's
gone away
And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my
dying day
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for
those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say it's hard to
make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry and throw my
hands up to the sky
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for
those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Cette la j'aime, mais c'est la plus vaillante
Je suis content avec les yeux canaille
Dis-pas à ta Mam que j'ai goûté ton bec
Et puis dis-pas à ton Pop, parce qu'il a pas bonne tête
Aie, la mienne est la plus vieille d'la bande
Ti-Galop pour la Pointe-aux-Pins
Chères cousines, mais donnez-moi celle-là
Et si c'est pas celle-là, moi j'en veux pas du tout
La plus jolie, mais c'est la pus mignonne
Mais si c'est pas cette la, mais j'en veux pas de tour
