00:08Are you going to Scarborough Fair, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme?
00:25Remember me to one who lives there, She once was a true love of mine.
00:42Tell her to make me a can of Richard, The deep forest green, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme?
00:55Be the sparrow on snow-crested plow, Without no sleep or need, And it grows the child of the plant,
01:07And she'll be a true love of mine.
01:11A smile with a cloud in the car, Tell her to find me as a girl of hell, A sprinkling
01:23of leaves, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme?
01:28Is there a great anxiety, Between the salt water and sea strands, And molishes a fan, She'll be a true
01:43love of mine.
01:49Tell her to reap it, In a sickle-billard blazing, In scarlet burt and hymns, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme?
02:02Tell her to drink it, And all in the rod, And all in the road, Is there a great anxiety,
02:14She'll be a true love of mine?
02:23Tell her to leave it, In a sort of box-like, She'll be a true love of mine.
02:31Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
02:40Remember me to one who lives there.
02:47She once was a true love of mine.
03:25The night I said softly with the hush of falling leaves.
03:32Casting shivering shadows on the houses through the trees.
03:39And the light from a street lamp paints a pattern on my wall.
03:47Like the pieces of a puzzle or a child's uneven scroll.
03:55Up a narrow flight of stairs in a narrow little room.
04:02As I lie upon my bed in the early evening.
04:10Impaled on my wall, my eyes can dimly see.
04:16The pattern of my life and the puzzle that is me.
04:24From the moment of my birth to the instant of my death.
04:31There are patterns I must follow just as I must breathe each breath.
04:38Like a rat in a maze the path before me lies.
04:45And the pattern never alters until the rat dies.
05:10The pattern still remains on the wall where darkness fell.
05:17And it's fitting that it should for in darkness I must dwell.
05:24Like the color of my skin or the day that I grow old.
05:30My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled.
05:36Like the color of my skin or vielleicht튀
06:06The sky is gray and white and cloudy
06:12Sometimes I think it's hanging down on me
06:17And it's a hitchhike hundred miles
06:22I'm a ragamuffling child
06:26Pointed finger, pitted smile
06:31I left my shadow waiting down the road for me a while
06:38Cloudy, my thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy
06:44They have no borders, no boundaries
06:51They echo and they swell
06:54From Tolstoy to Tinkerbell
06:59Down from Berkeley to Carmel
07:04Got some pictures in my pocket
07:07And a lot of time to kill
07:09Hey sunshine
07:12I haven't seen you in a long time
07:18Why don't you show your face and bend my mind
07:24These clouds stick to the sky
07:27Like a floating question why
07:31And they linger there to die
07:37They don't know where they're going
07:39And my friend, neither do I
07:42Cloudy
07:49Cloudy
07:55Cloudy
07:58Cloudy
08:04Cloudy
08:09Cloudy
08:19I'm sitting in the railway station
08:23Got a ticket for my destination
08:30On a tour of one night stands
08:33My suitcase and guitar in hand
08:36And every stop is neatly planned
08:39For a poet and a one-man band
08:43Homeward bound
08:45I wish I was homeward bound
08:51Home where my thoughts escape at home
08:55Where my music's playing home
08:57Where my love lies waiting silently for me
09:03Every day is an endless dream
09:06Of cigarettes and magazines
09:12And each town looks the same to me
09:16The movies and the factories
09:18And every stranger's face I see
09:21Reminds me that I long to be
09:26Homeward bound
09:27I wish I was homeward bound
09:33Home where my thoughts escape at home
09:37Where my music's playing home
09:39Where my love lies waiting silently for me
10:12Tonight I'll sing my songs again
10:15Homeward bound
10:16Home where my thoughts escape at home
10:19Home where my thoughts escape at home
10:20Where my music's playing home
10:21Where my love lies waiting silently for me
10:28Silently for me
10:51Silently for me
10:55Does your group have more cavities than theirs?
11:01Do all the hippies seem to get the job on you?
11:06Do you sleep alone when other sleep compares?
11:11But there's no need to complain
11:14But there's no need to complain
11:15We'll eliminate your pain
11:17We can neutralize your brain
11:19We feel just fine now
11:25By a big bright green
11:29Pleasure machine
11:36To figure some authority
11:39Just chills you down
11:41Is life within the business world to drive
11:46Did your boss just mention that
11:49You'd better shop around
11:51To find yourself in more productive bag
11:57Are you worried and distressed?
12:00Can't seem to get no rest
12:02Put our product to the test
12:05You'd feel just fine now
12:10By a big bright green
12:15Pleasure machine
12:17You'd better hurry up
12:20And all to one
12:22Our limited supplies
12:25Are you ready to go?
12:28But you can't do this
12:29We await the nose of cruel fate
12:32Do you check, mouse, hide
12:35A manner of a ball?
12:38Are you worried
12:39Cause your girlfriend's just a little late?
12:43Are you looking for a way to jump at all?
12:48We can neutralize your daily strife
12:51At a reasonable price
12:54You've seen it advertised in life
12:57We feel just fine now
13:01By a big bright green
13:05Pleasure machine
13:07Pleasure machine
13:31One, two, three
13:48Slow down
13:50You move too fast
13:51You got to make the morning last
13:54Just kicking down the cobblestones
13:58Looking for fun
13:59Looking for fun
14:00And feeling groovy
14:06Feeling groovy
14:11Hello, lamppost
14:12What you knowin'
14:14I come to watch your flowers growin'
14:17Ain't you got no rhymes for me
14:20Do it and do-do
14:22Feeling groovy
14:26Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
14:28Thin groovy
14:32I got no deeds to do
14:34No promises to keep
14:35I'm dappled and drowsy
14:37And ready to sleep
14:39Let the morning time drop
14:40All its petals on me
14:42Life I love you
14:44All is groovy
14:46Dream
14:47Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-showно
15:13Thin
15:15groovy
15:15Florida
15:15Florida
15:17Florida
15:18Florida
15:19Florida
15:22Florida
15:37My
15:39It's a still-life watercolor
15:41of a now-late afternoon
15:46As the sun shines through the curtain lace
15:50And shadows wash the room
15:55And we sit and drink our coffee
16:01Couched in our indifference
16:04Like shells upon the shore
16:06You can hear the ocean roar
16:10In the dangling conversation
16:14And the superficial signs
16:17The borders of our lives
16:24And you read your Emily Dickinson
16:28And I, my Robert Frost
16:31And we note our place with bookmarkers
16:36That measure what we've lost
16:41Like a poem poorly written
16:46We are verses out of rhythm
16:49Couplets out of rhyme
16:52In syncopated times
16:55And the dangling conversation
16:59And the superficial signs
17:03Are the words of our lives
17:10Yes, we speak of things that matter
17:14With words that must be said
17:18Can analysis be worthwhile?
17:22Is the theater really dead?
17:27And how the room is softly faded
17:32And I only kiss your shadow
17:35I cannot feel your hand
17:38You're a stranger now unto me
17:41Lost in the dangling conversation
17:45And the superficial signs
17:49In the borders of our lives
18:08Through the corridors of sleep
18:10Past shadows dark and deep
18:12My mind dances and leaps
18:15In confusion
18:16I don't know what is real
18:19I can't touch what I feel
18:21And I hide behind the shield
18:23Of my illusion
18:27So I'll continue to continue
18:30To pretend
18:33My life will never end
18:37And the flower has never been
18:42Withering fall
18:45The mirror on my wall
18:48Casts an image dark and small
18:50But I'm not sure at all
18:52It's my reflection
18:54I'm blinded by the light
18:56Of God and truth and right
18:58And I wander in the night
19:00Without direction
19:04So I'll continue to continue
19:07To pretend
19:09My life will never end
19:14And the flower has never been
19:18With the rainfall
19:22No matter if you're born
19:25To play the king or pawn
19:27For the line is thinly drawn
19:29Tween joy and sorrow
19:30So my fantasy
19:33Becomes reality
19:35And I must be what I must be
19:37And face tomorrow
19:38So I'll continue to continue
19:44To pretend
19:46My life will never end
19:51And the flower has never been
19:55With the rainfall
20:23I've been Norman Mailer
20:26Maxwell Tellard
20:27Maxwell Tellard
20:29I've been John O'Hara'd
20:31McNamara'd
20:34I've been Rolling Stone and Beatles
20:37Till I'm blind
20:39I've been Iron Randed
20:42Nearly branded
20:43A communist
20:44Cause I'm left-handed
20:45That's the hand to use
20:47Well, never mind
20:50I've been Phil Spectred
20:52Resurrected
20:54Resurrected
20:55I've been Lou Adler
20:57Barry Sadler
21:01Well, I paid all the dues
21:03I want to pay
21:06And I learned the truth
21:08From Lenny Bruce
21:09And all of my wealth
21:11Won't buy me health
21:12So I smoked a pint of tea
21:14A day
21:20I'm no man's brains
21:22To smile
21:23He comes thinking
21:25Nothing at all
21:26Not the same as you and me
21:29He doesn't make poetry
21:31He's so unhip
21:32When you say Dylan
21:34He thinks you're talking
21:36About Dylan Thomas
21:37Whoever he was
21:39That man ain't got no culture
21:42But it's alright, Ma
21:44Everybody must get phoned
21:51I've been Mick Jagger
21:53Been Silver Daggers
21:57Andrew Warhol
21:58Won't you please come home
22:01I've been Mother
22:03Father
22:04Aunt and Uncle
22:05Been Roy Hallett
22:06And Odd Dog
22:07I've just discovered
22:09Somebody's tapped the phone
22:14Folk Rock
22:19I've lost my harmonica, Albert
22:47What a dream I had
22:50Preston, Oregon, D
22:53Clothed in crinoline
22:56Of smoky burgundy
23:00Softer than the rain
23:05I wandered empty streets down
23:08Past the shock displays
23:11I heard cathedral bells
23:15Dripping down the alleyways
23:19As I walked on
23:23And when you ran to me
23:26Your cheeks splashed with the night
23:29We walked on frosted fields
23:33Of juniper and lampline
23:36I held your eyes
24:00And when I walked
24:03And felt you warm in me
24:05I kissed your honey hair
24:09And when I walked
24:10With my grateful tears
24:13With my grateful tears
24:13Oh, I love you
24:16Girl
24:19Oh, I love you
24:26You
24:30Mmm
24:31Mmm
24:49The last train is nearly due
24:51The underground is closing soon
24:54In the dark deserted station
24:56Restless in anticipation
24:58A man waits in the shadows
25:04His restless eyes
25:05Beep and scratch at all
25:07That they can touch or catch
25:08Hidden deep within his pocket
25:10Safe within his silent socket
25:12He holds a colored crayon
25:18Now from the tunnel
25:20Stony wound
25:21The carriage rides
25:22To meet the groom
25:23And opens wide and well
25:24The doors
25:25But he hesitates
25:26Then withdraws
25:27Deeper in the shadows
25:34And the train is gone suddenly
25:38On wheels clicking silently
25:42Like a gently tapping litany
25:45And he holds his crayon rosary
25:48Tattered in his hand
25:54Now from his pocket
25:55Quick he flashes
25:56With crayon on the wall
25:58He slashes
25:59Deep upon the advertising
26:00A single word
26:01Phone comprised of four letters
26:06At his heart is laughing
26:08Screaming
26:08Pounding
26:09The phone will cross
26:09The tracks rebounding
26:11Channeled by the exit light
26:12His legs take their ascending flight
26:15To seek the breast of darkness
26:16And be suckled by the night
26:40Silent night
26:43Silent night
26:44Holy night
26:50All is coming
26:53All is coming
26:53President Johnson
26:54President of the United States
26:55Did not press my head
26:56To cover discrimination
26:57By everyone
26:58For every time of housing
26:59But I had no chance
27:00For this time
27:01And everyone
27:01Who thought Bruce knew it
27:02The compromise
27:03Was payfully
27:04Going out on the
27:05House for the sharing committee
27:07In Los Angeles
27:08Today
27:09And many Bruce
27:10Dies
27:10Of what was
27:11William
27:11Overdose
27:12Of narcotics
27:12Bruce was 42 years old
27:14Dr. Martin Luther King
27:16Says
27:16He says he does not intend to cancel plans for an open housing march Sunday into the Chicago suburb of
27:21Cicero.
27:22The county's here for Chicago will be asking to call out the march.
27:25And the police in Cicero said they would ask the National Guard to be called out if it is held.
27:29King now in Atlanta, Georgia plans to return to Chicago Tuesday.
27:33In Chicago, Richard Speck accused murderer of nine student nurses was brought before a grand jury to pay for indictment.
27:40The nurses were found stabbed and strangled in their Chicago apartment.
27:44In Washington, the atmosphere was tense today as a special subcommittee of the House Committee on Unamerican Activity has continued
27:51its probe into anti-Vietnam War protests.
27:54Demonstrators were forcibly evicted from the hearings when they began chanting anti-war slogans.
28:00Former Vice President Richard Nixon says that unless there is a substantial increase in the present war effort in Vietnam,
28:06the U.S. should look forward to five more years of war.
28:09In a speech before the convention of the veterans of foreign wars in New York, Nixon also said opposition to
28:14the war in this country is the greatest single weapon working against the U.S.
28:19That's the 7 o'clock edition of the news.
28:22Good night.
28:41The night set softly with the hush of falling leaves.
28:49Casting shivering shadows on the houses through the trees.
28:57And the light from a street lamp paints a pattern on my wall.
29:05Like the pieces of a puzzle or a child's uneven scrawl.
29:16Up a narrow flight of stairs in a narrow little room.

30:01I must breathe each breath.
30:06Like a rat in a maze the path before me lies and the pattern never alters until the rat dies.
30:36And the pattern still remains on the wall where darkness fails.
30:43And it's fitting that it should, for in darkness I must dwell.
30:51Like the color of my skin or the day that I grow old.
30:58My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled.
31:22Like the colors that you stay with me.
31:23Listen carefully to this thing, because...
31:26Okay, Paul.
31:27I want to go with on the arrangements.
31:29You're going.
31:44The last train is nearly due, the underground is closing soon
31:48And in the dark deserted station, restless in anticipation
31:51A man waits in the shadows
31:58His restless eyes leap and scratch at all that they can touch or catch
32:02And hidden deep within his pocket, safe within his silent socket
32:06He holds a colored crayon
32:11Now from the tunnel's stony womb, the carriage rides to meet the groom
32:16And opens wide and welcome doors, but he hesitates
32:19Then withdraws deeper in the shadows
32:26And the train is gone suddenly
32:30On wheels clicking silently
32:34Like a gently tapping litany
32:37And he holds his crayon rosary
32:41Tighter in his hand
32:46Now from his pocket quick he flashes
32:49The crayon on the wall he slashes
32:50Deep upon the advertising
32:52A single worded poem comprised of four letters
32:57And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding
33:00The poem across the tracks rebounding
33:02Shadowed by the exit light
33:03His legs take their ascending flight
33:05To seek the breast of darkness
33:07And be suckled by the night
33:09And be suckled by the night
33:10Ooh
33:10ereal
