I wish there was a big room somewhere
And they kept all the time in there
All the time that got away somehow
And I wish there was a way I could get it back now

Startin’ right at the day
When you looked at me that way
The way you smiled when you said my name
I could see my life would never be the same

And I knew nothing I could say or do
Would come close to thanking you for your love
And I could try for the rest of my life
But that wouldn’t be half enough

Through all the crazy years
I turned around and you were here
Sweeter than my wildest dreams
Yeah you showed me what true love means

And I knew nothing I could say or do
Would come close to thanking you for your love
And I could try for the rest of my life
But that wouldn’t be half enough

And I knew nothing I could say or do
Would come close to thanking you for your love
And I could try for the rest of my life
But that wouldn’t be half enough

And I could try for the rest of my life
But that wouldn’t be half enough

Half enough, half enough
It wouldn’t be half enough
Half enough, half enough
It wouldn’t be half enough
Half enough, half enough
It wouldn’t be half enough
Half enough, half enough
It wouldn’t be half enough
Half enough, half enough
It wouldn’t be half enough

Spoken: Am I gonna roll?
1, 2, 3
Don’t ask me why, I don’t know
I can’t explain it in words you can say
Probably lie and stay low
I’ll just ignore it and hope it all goes away

You play along half the time
Turn it half down on the radio
If there’s a flaw in your lines
I’m not convincing enough to just let it go

I don’t believe that you’ve tried
I’ve listened to it all, you’re still putting me down
Haven’t you gone way too far?
Said that it’s fine what you do to me now
I said that it’s fine.

In the days, the golden days,
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain’t here today

Through the times of lasting love,
When parents talked of things tried and tested,
They don’t feel the same.

Dreams and belief have gone,
Time, life itself goes on.

From beyond the shrinking skies,
Where money talks and leaves us hypnotized,
It don’t pave the way.

Underneath the fading sun,
The silent sum of a businessman,
Has left us choking.

Dreams and belief have gone,
Time, life itself goes on.

In the days, the golden days,
When everybody knew what they wanted,
It ain’t here today

Dreams and belief have gone,
Time, life itself goes on.

Never thought that we would ever be more than friends
Now I?m all confused cause for you I have deeper feelings
We both thought it was cool to cross the line
And I was convinced it would be alright
Now things are strange, nothings the same
And really I just want my friend back


And my mind?s gone half crazy cause I can?t leave you alone (oh can?t get you out of my system)
And I?m wondering if it?s worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind?s gone half crazy cause I can?t leave you alone (can?t get you out of my system)
And I?m wondering if it?s worth me holding on (yeah)


I?d hate walk away from you as if this never existed
Cause when we kissed the moment after I looked at you different
Lately I gotta watch what I say
Cause you take things personally nowadays
You used to laugh now you get mad
Damn I just want my friend back


And my mind?s gone half crazy cause I can?t leave you alone (oh can?t get you out of my system)
And I?m wondering if it?s worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind?s gone half crazy cause I can?t leave you alone (can?t get you out of my system)
And I?m wondering if it?s worth me holding on


oh oh oh oh oh yeah
What happened to the one I used to know (oh yeah yeah)
The one I used to laugh and joke with
The one I used to tell all my secrets
We used to chill and be down for whatever whenever together yeah


And my mind?s gone half crazy (oh) cause I can?t leave you alone (I?m going half crazy baby)
And I?m wondering if it?s worth me (oh) holding on (over you)
Said my mind?s gone half crazy (yeah) cause I can?t leave you alone (and I just don?t know)
And I?m wondering if it?s worth me holding on (said I just don?t know what to do now)
we used to chill (yeah) we used to hang
we used to do we used to do some many things together (yeah)
yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh oh

My father married a Cherokee
My mother’s people were ashamed of me
The Indian’s said that I was white by law
The white man always called me Indian Squaw

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She’s no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We never settled went from town to town
When you’re not welcome you don’t hang around
The other children always laughed at me
Give her a feather she’s a Cherokee

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She’s no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We weren’t accepted and I felt the shame
Fifteen I left and tell me whose to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can’t run away from what I am

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She’s no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She’s no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

(Curley Williams)

If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn’t worry me half as much as you do
You’re nice to me when there’s no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn’t stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never feel so blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

If you love me half as much as I love you
You wouldn’t worry me half as much as you do
You’re nice to me when there’s no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn’t stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never feel so blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

This could be the saddest dusk
I’ve ever seen
Turn to a miracle
high alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hand is tired my heart aches
I’m half a world away here
my head sworn
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Go it alone
Hold it along and hold, hold.

This lonely deep sit hollow
I’m half a world
Half the world away
My shoes are gone
My life spent
I had too much to drink
I didn’t think
and I I didn’t think of you
I guess that’s all I needed
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold.

Oh this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes high alive
blind to the tide that turns the sea
This storm it came up strong
it shook the trees
And blew away our fear
I couldn’t even hear

To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold.

This could be the saddest dusk
I’ve ever seen
Turn to a miracle
high alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hands tired my heart aches
I’m half a world away and go.

Half a Moment
We are together
I shall want no one else
And nothing new
Half a Moment
I shall treasure
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day

Should you leave me
for just this moment
In my mind I shall capture it anew
Like some picture
taken in my childhood
Half a Moment
spent with you

Half a moment
I shall treasure
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day

Countless vivid memories
Spin before my view
Like some toy kaliedoscope
Images of you

Time looks kindly
On fleeting lovers
They can turn the briefest hour
In to a day
Turn a moment
to a lifetime
Making it to last
Blending future with the past

We’re together
What else can matter?
Even though
A half a moment is too few
I shall save it
’til I have another
Making one whole moment
Filled with you

Call me morbid, call me pale
I’ve spent six years on your trail
Six long years
On your trail

Call me morbid, call me pale
I’ve spent six years on your trail
Six full years of my life on your trail


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I’ll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y … W.C.A.
I said : “I like it here – can I stay ?
I like it here – can I stay ?
Do you have a vacancy
For a Back-scrubber?”


She was left behind, and sour
And she wrote to me, equally dour
She said : “In the days when you were
Hopelessly poor
I just liked you more…”


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I’ll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y … W.C.A.
I said : “I like it here – can I stay ?
I like it here – can I stay ?
And do you have a vacancy
For a Back-scrubber ?”


Call me morbid, call me pale
I’ve spent too long on your trail
Far too long
Chasing your tail
Oh …


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I’ll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
That’s the story of my life
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
The story of my life
That’s the story of my life
That’s the story of my life
That’s the story of my life
The story of my life
That’s the story of my life
That’s the story of my life
That’s the story of my life
That’s the story of my life
That’s the story of my life
That’s the story …

someone’s mother falls to the sidewalk
on the next street someone looks up
in the cathedral a burst of laughter
in another city the pigeons fly up and scatter.
someone puts down in a New York subway
a newspaper picked up in Australia
for each event the inarticulate glory
the equal and opposite will tell the story

HALF ANGEL HALF EAGLE
ONE EYE ON THE WORLD
HALF ANGEL HALF EAGLE
ONE EYE ON THE WORLD
BE READY

five intelligent minds huddled in a fancy restaurant
all that brain power bent on…..
WHAT SHALL I? WHAT SHALL I?…

one lone car cruising the warehouse district
one lone figure shuffling along the wall
two shadows leaning from the backseat window
someone’s mother is about to fall

HALF ANGEL HALF EAGLE

HALF ANGEL HALF EAGLE

have a good time but don’t relax
have a good time but be on guard
you don’t need that much not that much
get the wings up ready to go
get the wings up ready to go
what shall I? what shall I?
