Think About It i think about it.. everyday.. a prayer flag eaten by the wind a photograph that never ends think about love shoes on powerlines think about love... colours made from colours the words i think i can a child running down the street the temple on the hill think about love fusion borders confusion bullets and the face you never see think about love the spirit of a butterfly old souls the sale of bones i think about thinking about thinking and i try not to think about it like that too much think about love alchemy doubt fusion love balance bullets a child running down the street think about love looking at yourself in a different way think about love think about that old souls the sale of bones balance all alone bullets alchemy looking at yourself in a different way reason doubt fusion beat love a child running down the street does it matter looking at yourself in a different way not better not worse not better not worse not better not worse think about love by Birkett Hall (moscowfish)

Diamoncutter Check out that off-white suit he's got $1200 boots he's got a platinum lighter smokes a blue cheroot he's a diamondcutter or something like that i'm not sure.. He takes long trips and comes back quick he don't leave no trail 'cause he's way too slick he's got the whole world at his finger tips he's a diamondcutter or something like that i'm not sure.. He's got 6 chicks at his heels he's got 5 different sets of wheels he drinks Veuve Cliquot with every meal he's a diamondcutter or something like that i'm not sure i don't know.. by Birkett Hall (moscowfish)

On Away 04:32
lyrics
buy track
On Away Now I'm walking around in the green and I feel so small pressed down by a giant sky I feel the weight of it all then I watch big yellow machines tearing scars in the soil but a man needs his paper and a man needs his oil Wanna take it on on away - take it on on away Wanna take it on on away - take it on on away Now I'm walking along on the beach and I feel so bad I hear a fisherman tears in his eyes say goodbye to the life that he had I watch a seabird trying to fly but her wings are all sticky and black Big Money took her sky away and she's never gonna get it back Now the spectre of progress casts a long shadow over the land now the litter of luxury is laying washed up on the sand now the lemmings all run to the sea but they find that the water is gone another liquid has taken it's place and the waves roll on and on and on and on

720 Day No patience for complications that go nowhere I watch the sand squeeze through the waist of the glass coat top is future bottom past now is the sand falling take a day - take a week - take a year to see clearly take less and be more than what gets you through day by day by day by day.. what is the sound of all that you know and how far from yourself are you willing to go to hear ... take a day - take a week - take a year to see clearly take less and be more than what gets you through take less and be more than what gets you through day by day by day by day..

Buffalo Bones just as far as you can see all around you and all around me 6 whole days the crow would fly where my people lived and died 6 fine lanes of blacktop road down below the buffalo bones down below the buffalo bones.. now i'm so old that i can't cry and i have watched great grandfather die he heard words that had no soul told to do what he was told down below the buffalo bones down below the buffalo bones.. that man came from far away that man came and he never went away down below the buffalo bones down below the buffalo bones..

Jackson Driving down jackson.. i shed my skin driving down jackson.. to see the shape i'm in driving down jackson.. i missed my turn driving down jackson.. i missed my destination it's a good thing to be driving down jackson.. see a man on a red tractor and a black raven flying low in front of me driving down jackson.. flame red grapes a sign where i should go driving down jackson.. ends at the end that's all i know driving down jackson.. horses and grass and yellowing leaves driving down jackson.. light the colour of citrine all this ever repeating what might have been if only but in between only the lonely shall see if you change the channel to another screen.. driving down jackson.. gates open in the wind driving down jackson.. when will you let me in driving down jackson.. i drive right up your street driving down jackson.. but we will never meet where you gonna go where you gonna go when you're naked to the bone.. driving down jackson..

The Ballad of Hollis Brown 06:06
lyrics

The Ballad of Hollis Brown Hollis Brown He lived on the outside of town Hollis Brown He lived on the outside of town With his wife and five children And his cabin broken down Where you looked for work and money And you walked a rugged mile You looked for work and money And you walked a rugged mile Your children are so hungry That they don't know how to smile Your baby's eyes look crazy They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve Your baby's eyes look crazy They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve You walk the floor and wonder why With every breath you breathe The rats have got your flour Bad blood it got your mare The rats have got your flour Bad blood it got your mare Is there anyone who knows? Is there anyone who cares? So you prayed to the Lord above Please send you a friend Yes you prayed to the Lord above Please send you a friend But your empty pockets tell you That you ain't got no friends Your babies are cryin' louder now It's poundin' in your brain Your babies are cryin' louder now It's poundin' in your brain Your wife's screams are stabbin' you Like the dirty drivin' rain Your grass is turnin' black There's no water in your well Your grass is turnin' black There's no water in your well You spent your last dollar On seven shotgun shells Way out in the wilderness A cold coyote calls Way out in the wilderness A cold coyote calls Your eyes fix on the shotgun That's hangin' on the wall Your brain is a-bleedin' now Your legs can't seem to stand Your brain is a-bleedin' now Your legs can't seem to stand Your eyes fix on the shotgun That you're holdin' in your hand There's seven breezes blowin' All around the cabin door There's seven breezes blowin' All around the cabin door Seven shots ring out Like the ocean's poundin' roar There's seven people dead On a south Dakota farm There's seven people dead On a south Dakota farm Somewhere in the distance Seven new people are born The Nina Simone version of Ballad Of Hollis Brown Lyrics Written by Bob Dylan
