The Alien Boy

'Twas on a Mountain, near the Western Main
An ALIEN dwelt. A solitary Hut
Built on a jutting crag, o'erhung with weeds,
Mark'd the poor Exile's home. Full ten long years
The melancholy wretch had liv'd unseen
By all, save HENRY, a lov'd, little Son
The partner of his sorrows. On the day
When Persecution, in the sainted guise
Of Liberty, spread wide its venom'd pow'r,
The brave, Saint HUBERT, fled his Lordly home,
And, with his baby Son, the mountain sought.

Resolv'd to cherish in his bleeding breast
The secret of his birth, Ah! birth too high
For his now humbled state, from infancy
He taught him, labour's task: He bade him chear
The dreary day of cold adversity
By patience and by toil. The Summer morn
Shone on the pillow of his rushy bed;
The noontide, sultry hour, he fearless past

The Song Of Hiawatha VIII: Hiawatha's Fishing

Forth upon the Gitche Gumee,
On the shining Big-Sea-Water,
With his fishing-line of cedar,
Of the twisted bark of cedar,
Forth to catch the sturgeon Nahma,
Mishe-Nahma, King of Fishes,
In his birch canoe exulting
All alone went Hiawatha.
Through the clear, transparent water
He could see the fishes swimming
Far down in the depths below him;
See the yellow perch, the Sahwa,
Like a sunbeam in the water,
See the Shawgashee, the craw-fish,
Like a spider on the bottom,
On the white and sandy bottom.
At the stern sat Hiawatha,
With his fishing-line of cedar;
In his plumes the breeze of morning
Played as in the hemlock branches;

Hiawatha's Departure

By the shore of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of his wigwam,
In the pleasant Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited.
All the air was full of freshness,
All the earth was bright and joyous,
And before him, through the sunshine,
Westward toward the neighboring forest
Passed in golden swarms the Ahmo,
Passed the bees, the honey-makers,
Burning, singing In the sunshine.
Bright above him shone the heavens,
Level spread the lake before him;
From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,
Sparkling, flashing in the sunshine;
On its margin the great forest
Stood reflected in the water,
Every tree-top had its shadow,
Motionless beneath the water.

Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee (reprise)

Look at me, there has to be
Something more than what they see.
Wholesome and pure,
Also scared and unsure
A poor man's Sandra Dee.
When they criticize and make fun of me,
Can't they see the tears in my smile?
Don't they realize there's just one of me
And it has to last me awhile?
(Sandy speaks to Frenchy when Frenchy comes running)
Hey, Frenchy, could you come over for awhile? And bring your make-up case...
(resumes singing)
Sandy, you must start anew.
Don't you know what you must do?
Hold your head high, take a deep breath and cry

Sandy

Looking at you
Im almost home again
Something in you
Puts me at ease
Yes, I know that youre
Suspicious of me
Do I mean the things I say?
Yo know Ive been in love before
That much is true
But thought Ive been in love before
It wasnt with you
(*) ooh, sandy
Could we spend the day together?
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when Im alone
You, sandy
You gotta be a friend today
An hour with you would
Chase the winter away
Being with you

Blow Away (For Bill)

One of the band told me last night
That music is all that hes got in his life.
So where does it go?
Surely not with his soul.
Will all of his licks and his rnb
Blow away?
Blow away
Blow away
Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived,
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.
Hello minnie, moony, vicious, vicious, buddy holly, sandy denny.
Please dont thump me,
Dont bump me,
Dont dump me back there.
Please dont thump me,
Dont bump me,
I want to stay here.
Put out the light, then, put out the light.

Song X

Hey ho here we go, were on the road to never
Where lifes a joy for girls and boys and only will get better.
Hey ho here we go along the road to never.
Romeo and juliet, the doctor and his case
Without a plan they left the van and there were laid to waste.
Hey ho away we go along the road to never.
The priest was there with sandy hair, religion by his side
He saw his law was broken, the punishment was applied
Hey ho away we go along the road to never,
Hey ho away we go were on the road to never.
He held her hand and wished her well although his heart was aching,
The camera rolled, the print was bold, the holy war was breaking.
Its hey ho here we go were the road to never,
Where lifes a joy for girls and boys and only will get better.
[hey ho away we go along the road to never,
Hey ho away we go were on the road to never.]repeat
The priest was there with sandy hair, religion by his side
He saw his law was broken, the punishment was applied

Ive Gotta Find You

Ive got this dream that wont go away
When I close my eyes your there night and day
Baby whatever it takes Ive gotta find you
Are you someone I know or that Ill meet by chance
Are you somewhere close or in a far away land
Across the ocean or burnin sand, Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you
Dont care how long it takes
I know when I do itll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star
Maybe miami on some sandy beach
New york city making waves on wall street
No matter where you are
Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you
You could be a checker at the grocery store
For all I know youre the girl next door
One thing I know for sure, Ive gotta find you
You might be a waitress workin your way through school
Or the anchor person on the six oclock news
