Mon ami! My brother said to me
As he bled out on the Somme
Au Paris, we swore one day we’d meet
After bleak midwinter’s bombs
C’est la vie, c’est la mort
They sent our kids to war
But only hungry poor
Lost a friend, lost a brother
Lost a hundred more and then
They start another war
Had some peace, and the world, she sighed relief
And my, how the 20’s roared
It all came down, and in ‘39 we found
A madman’s rabid hoard
Don’t get me wrong, he and his filthy throng
Deserved all the wrath they bore
Sad thing is, one of many friends of his
Was robber baron Henry Ford
C’est la vie, c’est la mort
They send our kids to war
But only hungry poor
Lose a friend, lose a brother
Lose a hundred more and then
They start another war
Didn’t take too much longer after that
We breached another shore
Had family there, and he said with iron stares
They breed them hard, our marine corps
Told me tales of sticks and stones and prayers
With a charge the farmers roared
Korean lands stayed in Korean hands
Brought spears to a shooting war
C’est la vie, c’est la mort
They send our kids to war
But only hungry poor
Lose a friend, lose a brother
Lose a hundred more and then
They start another war
In Vietnam, with bravado and aplomb
We burned a teenage Viet Cong
We ain’t learned, as sure as our world turns
They’ll take poor kids from their mom’s
They’ll be damned if they’ll die in Vietnam,
Iraq, or Afghanistan
Same ol’ story, they steal our blood and glory
Time to stick it to the fucking man
C’est la vie, c’est la mort
They send our kids to war
But only hungry poor
Lose a friend, lost a brother
Lose hundred more and then
They start another war

Nothing left to give...
Nothing left to give, anymore
V1
Out of touch, going out of my mind
Out of luck, how could I be so blind
I’ve been pushing and believing
Fetching and retrieving now I’m done
Nothing left to give...
Nothing left to give, anymore
V2
Tired of being that last line of hope
Tired of hanging on this little piece of rope
Smiling and defending
Swimming - never ending, now I’m done
Nothing left to give...
Nothing left to give, anymore
Bridge
Nothing more to give, no one left to take
Soul is running empty, no more promises to break
Hard but I’m still trying, alone but I’m not dying
Is there hope for me yet?

P Ferguson - Jokes Told

I remember jokes told
One of us isn’t frightened anymore
It’s just my time it’s just my time
Light behind your walls
Always fades with time and space oh well
Hold onto me hold onto me
So I’ll write this song
Please don’t read into it much at all
It’s just my words it’s just my words it’s just my world
Random thoughts and shakes
They scare me
Even now I am old I am cold
I am alone I am alone
Bite and scratch my way
Through this hell
But I’ll try to get by
I have my ways I have my ways
I remember jokes told
One of us isn’t frightened anymore
It’s just my time it’s just my time

v1:
Ain't no use in holding on
It's carried out to sea
Nothing here but memories now
That ought to be enough for you & me
pre:
As the sun retreats
We should start to take our leave
ch:
Say what you will
Say a prayer if that's your thing
You should never hold back your words
v2:
Got no time to share regrets
Just throw them to the wind
Give no thought to your mistakes
They'll return time & time again
pre:
As the sun retreats
We should start to take our leave
ch:
Say what you will
Say a prayer if that's your thing
You should never hold back your words
-----
Don't wait until
Until you've got a song to sing
'Cause right or wrong, you need to be heard
-- weird instrumental thingy --
-- guitar solo --
pre:
As the sun retreats
We should start to take our leave
ch:
Say what you will
Say a prayer if that's your thing
You should never hold back your words
-----
Don't wait until
Until you've got a song to sing
'Cause right or wrong, right or wrong, you need to be heard

Prism
Hey when you look at me
Through a prism light
Hey when you look at me
Through a mirror bright
Illumination is the way
Illumination here to stay
Hey when stars they sparkle
Like a satellite
And the comet hurdles from the sky
Illumination is the way
Illumination here to stay
Hey when you look at me
Through a prism light
Hey when you look at me
Through a mirror bright
Illumination is the way
Illumination here to stay
