"Sit Down Young Stranger Lyrics"

Snake Oil Lyrics
(s macdonald) I've an appointment today with a cultural slave to the snakepit called the music biz So I'm hanging around just to meet this clown who lies and says the pleasure is his He seems to think I'll be impressed by the hair upo

I'm standin' at the doorway
My head bowed in my hands
Not knowin' where to sit
Not knowin' where I stand
My father looms above me
For him there is no rest
My mother's arms enfold me
And hold me to her breast
They say you been out wandrin'
They say you travelled far
Sit down young stranger
And tell us who you are

The room has all gone misty,
my thoughts are all in spin
Sit down young stranger
and tell us where you been

Well I'v
Gravity Lyrics
I've got my share of scars on those ol' monkey bars Every time I'd hit the ground On that old long dirt my bike lost control And once again I was fallin' down Every time I'd try to fly, there's a force I can't deny Gravity
e been up to the mountain
I've walked down by the sea
I never questioned no one
And no one questioned me
My love was given freely
And oftimes was returned
I never came to borrow
I only came to learn

Sometimes it did get lonely
But it taught me how to cry
And laughter came too easy

Cause I had a million daydreams
To keep me satisfied

Hypnotised Lyrics
I steal the notes from other bands. I fill their shoes with wet cement. I make you think of certain things and when you talk the things you'll say, I'm pretty sure of what you want. I bet you want the same as me. You want to th

Or will you gather wealth
How can you find your fortune
When you cannot find yourself
My mother's eyes grow misty
There's a tremblin' in her hand
Sit down young stranger
I do not understand

And will you try and tell us
You been too long at school
That knowledge is not needed
That power does not rule
That war is not the answer
That young men should not die
Sit down young stranger
I wait for your reply

The answer is not easy

Between Grass Shores Lyrics
1982 Kathy Mar Tides of mountains crash on the shores of grain And in this city of ash I tremble in my private pain Will the winds of time blow my heart to me Or will I wander forever between grass shores and mountain sea
souls are not reborn
To wear the crown of peace
You must wear the crown of thorns
If Jesus had a reason
I'm sure he would not tell
They treated him so badly
How could he wish them well

The parlor now is empty
There's nothin' left to say
My father has departed
My mother's gone to pray
There's rockets in the meadows
And ships out on the sea
The answer's in the forest
Carved upon a tree

John loves Mary
Does anyone love me
