Spring

[Ramona_A_Stone]

here she comes
silence in her sound
here she comes
fresh upon the ground

come gentle spring
come
at winter's end
gone is the pallor
from a promise that's nature's gift

waiting for the colour of spring

I wanna breathe
I wanna breathe

the colour of spring

here she comes
laughter in her kiss
here she comes
shame upon her lips

come wanton spring
come
for birth you live
youth takes it's bow
before the summer the seasons bring

waiting for the colour of spring

let me
let me
I'm gonna breathe you
I'm gonna breathe it
let me breathe you
let me breathe

Poisoning Pigeons In The Park

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don't you? 'Course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes ev'ry Sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Ev'ry Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Ev'rything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment.
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strychnine
We feed to a pigeon.
It just takes a smidgin!
To poison a pigeon in the park.

-Tom Lehrer

at first flash of Eden
we race down to the sea

standing there
on freedom's shore

waiting for the sun
waiting for the sun
waiting for the sun

can you feel it
now that spring has come

that it's time to live
in the scattered sun

waiting for the sun
waiting
waiting
waiting
waiting
waiting for you to come along
waiting for you to hear my song
waiting for you to come along
waiting for you to tell me what went wrong

this is
the strangest
life
I've ever known

can't you feel it
now that spring has come
that it's time to live
in the scattered sun

waiting for the sun

standin' on a corner in winslow arizona
and I'm quite sure
I'm in the wrong song
2 girls
'65
got a piece tied up in the back seat
honey we're recovering christians

in the springtime of his voodoo
he was going to show me spring

and right there for a minute
I knew you so well
and right there for a minute
I knew you so well

got an angry snatch
girls you know what I mean?
when swivelin' that hip doesn't do the trick
me
I pureed sanitarily
mr. sulu
warp speed
warp speed

in the springtime of his voodoo

every road leads back to my door and right there for a minute
every road I will follow I knew you so well
every road leads back to my door and right there for a minute
got all your crosses loaded I knew you so well

and I know she's not that
foxy
boys
I said I know she's not that
foxy
but
you gotta owe
something sometimes
you gotta owe
when you're your momma's sunshine
you've got to give something sometimes
when you're the sweetest cherry
in an apple pie

I need some voodoo on these prunes

voodoo
voodoo

in the springtime of his voodoo
he was going to show me spring

the winter is worn
as the springtime is born
the city children storm
through the square

pigtail girls
and baby squirrels
and the whole wide world
the children share

this old world is truly their friend
it gonna take care of their needs
through the smog comes some god on a velvet wind
to scatter the seeds of spring now
to scatter the seeds of spring
to scatter the seeds of spring

trinity chimes
echo in my mind
the evening city shines
it's getting lazy

church bells toll
echo in my soul
and I want you to bear
my baby

this old world it gonna be our friend
it gonna take care of our dreams
through the smog comes some god on a velvet wind
to scatter the seeds of spring now
to scatter the seeds of spring
to scatter the seeds of spring

sell the kids for food
weather changes moods
spring is here again
reproductive glands

He’s the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
knows what it means
when I say yeah

[Ramona_A_Stone]

tell her I'll be waiting
in the usual place
with the tired and weary
there's no escape

to need a women
you've got to know
how the strong get weak
and the rich get poor

slave to love
slave to love

you're running with me
don't touch the ground
we're the restless hearted
not the chained and bound

the sky is burning
a sea of flame
though your world is changing
I will be the same

slave to love
slave to love
and I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

can you help me

the storm is breaking
or so it seems
we're too young to reason
too grown up to dream

now spring is turning
your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile

slave to love
slave to love
