A cobbler formed the shape of shoes on a wooden foot shaped last. If it lasted long he was happy.

I Still Believe

The sun went down so long ago
I watched you cry I had to go
Forever only lasted just a day
And now without you by my side
The visions of a lonely life
Take me to a dream in a place so far away

I see an angel and I think of you
I watch her hide behind a smile
And then I think of what I have to do
If only I had listened for a while

I still believe

Never Had No One Ever

When you walk without ease
On these
Streets were you were raised
I had a really bad dream
It lasted 20 years, 7 months, and 27 days
I never, Im alone, and i
Never, ever oh ... had no one ever
Now Im outside your house
Im alone
And Im outside your house
I hate to intrude ...
Oh, alone, Im alone, Im alone, Im alone
Im alone
Im alone
And I never, never ... oh ... had no one ever
I never had no one ever
I never had no, no one ever
Had no one never
Never ... no ...
Oh ...

Meet On The Ledge - Originally By Fairport Convention

We used to say
That come the day
When wed all be making songs
Or finding better words
These ideas never lasted long
The way is up
Along the road
The air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried
Were blown off this mountain with the wind
Meet on the ledge
Were gonna meet on the ledge
When your time is up youre gonna meet all your friends
Meet on the ledge
Were gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes round again
So here I sit
Im all alone
But thats the only way to be
Youll have your chance again

Macho Macho

Thats underground
And fly
Macho macho
I dont like your style
Macho macho
Youll be floatin on the river nile
Macho macho
So get down on your knees and pray
Macho macho
Im gonna blow your macho macho mind away, away
And the boys are singin
Na - na - na - na - na
Hip, hip
Na - na - na - na - na
So listen
I heard a story the other day
And Ive been wonderin what they got to say
They said you took my lady for a ride
They said it lasted to morning light
So listen

If Only

If only I had known you better.
If only you werent afraid to try.
You and me, wed make a bad, bad team.
But well never understand the reasons why.
If only you.
If only me.
If only you.
If only me.
I remember the day that I met you.
The politics were already strong.
I think you knew, like me, that it would never work out.
And Im surprised that it even lasted so long.
If only you.
If only me.
If only you.
If only me.
If only light didnt come in the morning.
If only darkness didnt fall at night.
If only you and me had led different lives, baby.
I know that eveything would have turned out alright.

Lets Try It Again

Ive heard of true loves that lasted forever, I guess there is a way,
And Ive heard of true loves that needed each other more and more each day.
What is love when theres no one that cares?
Next time you need my love Ill be there, be right by your side.
Lets try it again, try it again, lets try it again,
My love for you, it has no end.
Lets try it again, till the end, all because I love you.
Ive heard of two loves that stayed with each other,
Didnt wander through the night,
And Ive heard of two loves that prayed for each other,
Didnt argue, fuss or fight.
Now I know just what loves all about.
Next time you need my love I wont doubt, doubt your love again.
Lets try.... (repeat & fade)

Crippled Crow

Beggar standin' on the corner sing your song sing it for a dime
Give them all the pain you carried down the line
Music's flying past their ears rising like a burble those who herd will follow
The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow movin' down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you
And the cup of tin you carry is just the ticket to get you in
Beggar standin' on the corner dry your eyes your time is nigh
The tears your tastin' are only salty time
Your music's lasted through the years
Goin' through your troubles for the herd to follow
The out of tune ravings...
The crown of thorns you're wearin' is just the ticket to get you in
The out of tune ravings...
The out of tune ravings...

Time Will Crawl

I've never sailed on a sea
I would not challenge a giant
I could not take on the church
Time will crawl
Till the 21st century lose

I know a government man
He was as blind as the moon
He saw the sun in the night
He took a top-gun pilot
He made him fly thru a hole
Till he grew real old
And he never came down
He just flew till he burst

Time will crawl till our mouths run dry
Time will crawl till our feet grow small
Time will crawl till our tails fall off
Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
