Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Into My Arms

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnHoqHscTKE

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

Bob Dylan - Precious Angel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cZsRekJfEo

Precious angel, under the sun
How was I to know you'd be the one
To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone
How weak was the foundation I was standing upon ?

Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't neutral ground
The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceived
When the truth's in our hearts and we still don't believe ?

Shine you light, shine your light on me
Shine you light, shine your light on me
Shine you light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself
I'm a little too blind to see.

My so called friends have fallen under a spell
They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "Well all is well'"
Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high
When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die.

Sister, lemme tell you about a vision that I saw
You were drawing water for your husband, you were suffering under the law
You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in the same breath
You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal's death.

Shine you light, shine your light on me
Shine you light, shine your light on me
Shine you light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself
I'm a little too blind to see.

Precious angel, you believe me when I say
What God has given to us no man can take away
We are covered in blood girl, you know our forefathers were slaves
Let us hope they've found mercy in their bone-filled graves.

You're the queen of my flesh, girl, you're my woman, you're my delight
You're the lamb of my soul, girl, and you touch up the night
But there's violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed
On the way out of Egypt, through Etopoia, to the judgement hall of Christ.

Shine you light, shine your light on me
Shine you light, shine your light on me
Shine you light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself
I'm a little too blind to see.

Lone Justice - Wait 'Til We Get Home

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es4oXTPFcoM 

Well, honey, you know that I don't think much of your friends
I don't care if they don't like me
But if we go out somewhere, some night
And we run into them
Better be careful how you treat me

Even though I'm not known
To cause an angry scene
Just wait 'til we're alone
Cause I can get mean

Wait 'til we get home
I'm saving it up
I'm gonna let it fly
Well, wait 'til we get home
I'm making a list
I'm gonna check it twice
When we get home

Well, if you put me down
Just to get a laugh
Then you out and out ignore me
I'm gonna be thinking up ways
To get you back
And, baby, you're gonna be so sorry

Well, you know my heart is true
So show me some respect
Cause you know what I'll do
If you should forget

Wait 'til we get home
I'm saving it up
I'm gonna let it fly
Well, wait 'til we get home
I'm making a list
I'm gonna check it twice
When we get home

You're gonna be beggin' me for comfort
But I need more than an apology
And when all of this over
You're gonna have to make it up to me
Yeah, yeah

Oh, I don't ask too much of you
Yeah, and my demands are simple
Don't think that I don't love you
Just because I yell a little

Well, wait 'til we get home
I'm saving it up
I'm gonna let it fly
Ooooh honey
Wait 'til we get home
I'm making a list
I'm gonna check it twice

Wait 'til we get home
I'm saving it up
I'm gonna let it fly
Ooh honey, wait 'til we get home
I'm making a list
I'm gonna check it

Wait 'til we get home
I'm saving it up
I'm gonna let it fly
Well, wait 'til we get home
I'm making a list
I'm gonna check it

Baby, hurry up and wait

Steve Winwood - Higher Love

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbKNICg-REA

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I'm not too late for it
Until then, I'll sing my song
To cheer the night along

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love oh
Bring me a higher love oh
Bring me a higher love oh 
Bring me a higher love 
Bring me a higher love oh, oh
I said, bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love oh
(Bring me higher) bring me a higher love (bring it on) (that love bring me higher)
Bring me a higher love 
Bring me a higher love 
Bring me a higher love oh yeah (bring me higher love)
Bring me a higher love, (higher, high, higher)
Bring me a higher love 
Bring me a higher love

 

Procol Harum - A White Shade Of Pale

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJxpKlTID2Q

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast

And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Repeat

 

 

 

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed  

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

Goin' up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)

Oh he'll recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die (when you die)
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner, I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up
with the spirit in the sky

Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
