Put a kettle on to boil
And we’ll
wait a little…
wait a little…
wait a little… while
Put a kettle on to boil
And we’ll
wait a little…
wait a little…
wait a little… while
When the whistle blows…
we’ll blow our tops!
When the whistle blows…
we’ll blow our tops!
When the whistle blows…
we’ll blow our tops sky high!
Capo 3rd fret:
E - A - G - D
Cut the pie with a butcher knife
Take a bigger piece
It doesn’t matter, serve yourself
You get what you need
You were there when I was alone
Just us by ourselves
You were closer than I could stand
I gave my all back out
Somehow things they just end up…
Somehow things they just end up…
Somehow things they just end up…
How they end up
Now I sit down at our table
Again I’ll raise a glass
The simple weight of living gets
Heavy in my hand
If we’ll just take what we deserve
If we’ll just serve ourself
When we’re full we’ll just get up
And hope we have our health
Somehow things they just end up…
Somehow things they just end up…
Somehow things they just end up…
How they end up
Somehow things just end

Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
I’ve been lazy, I’ve been afraid
Got stuck for way too long
It was the way that I let it all float along
I got it wrong
Didn’t sing my song
I gave up all that’s right
To what I wasn’t even wanting without a fight
Got caught up tight
I lost clear sight
Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm…
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
I’ve been crazy, been insane
Laid in walls horizontal
I got water underneath the dollar and let it flow
Now where’ll I go
To I don’t know
Now I can change it all
My mind is rolling like a line of drummers beat it out
I like that sound
So big and round
Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm…
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
I can’t stay no more I’m gone

I got a camera
Without a flash on it
I took some pictures
That weren’t completely lit
I got an image
Of what I had in my mind
The noise and static
Were just as real to the blind eye
It’s just my eccentricity caught up inside
A box of electricity has caught itself tonight
This living hell is just inside my mind
Nothing but simplicity is filling up the shell of my life
It wasn’t all black
In fact it wasn’t at all
It just kept spinning
Like it was quantum theory small
But there was something there
In the eyes I couldn’t see
What I was being
Even if it wasn’t me
It’s just my eccentricity caught up inside
A box of electricity has caught itself tonight
This living hell is just inside my mind
Nothing but simplicity is filling up the shell of my life
Somewhere along the walking path
I lay down in the sun
The sun of hate and fiery fail
And let it dry me up
I died… I died… I died… I died.
I lay there for millennium
I lay there in that sun
‘Til every bit broke all apart
Broke into dust and love
I died… I died… I died… I died.
Can’t say I am a happy man
Can’t say I am alive
I just gave up and lay right down
I lay right down and died
You cried when I disappeared
You wept my wasted death
There was no reason given dear
For the way I left
I died… I died… I died… I died.
I have no reasons for my failing
I just have what I tried
When I walked down that fated path
No matter what I’d have died
I died… I died… I died… I died.
Can’t say I am an unhappy man
I’ll just say I am alive
I won’t give up and lay right down
I won’t lay down and die

A - A - A - E
G - D - A - E
G - D - A - EA slight ivory dome rises
from the soil bring in the new life
in the new spring sun
Hidden from view
if the eyes aren’t sharp you’ll
walk on buy and you’ll get none
A life from death beneath the trees
If no one looks then no one sees
If you’ll go out you might get yours
But time is short ’cause when it rains it pours
Anticipation is the scent
can’t wait until fulfillment
comes over you in the rush
Looking everywhere I’ve been
before but I can’t find it
later maybe in the lush
A life from death beneath the trees
If no one looks then no one sees
If you’ll go out you might get yours
But time is short ’cause when it rains it pours
Gotta get it what you can
Gotta get it while you can
Gotta get it, gotta get ’em, gotta get ’em all for yourself
If the river keeps rising it’s gonna kill us all…
If the river keeps rising it’s gonna kill us all…
If the river keeps rising it’s gonna kill us all…
But we’ll be reborn when those rising waters fall
I’ll spread my arms and let it weigh me down…
I’ll spread my arms and let it weigh me down…
I’ll spread my arms and let it weigh me down…
But we’ll be reborn when those rising waters fall
In St. Louis city there’s a man with a collar
Made blue and white with a loud voice holler
If you’ll give it all up he’ll give you a dollar
But the water won’t stop and you won’t get taller
If the river keeps rising it’s gonna kill us all…
If the river keeps rising it’s gonna kill us all…
If the river keeps rising it’s gonna kill us all…
But we’ll be reborn when those rising waters fall

D - A - E - EIt’s all a big machine
That’s got a program that it’s running and we’re running inside
If I could just figure out
what the rules are that keep it all going and decide where it goes
I could get the life and love
That makes it easy
And the ease that makes
it all feel like it’s worth it
So far I’ve been just a little line
Getting executed in a loop in time
Shove me in a register and make me prime
So far I’ve been just a little line
In this big machine
I see no reason for the reasons I give and that I live
If I could just get out
and get my way back I could write the program that runs me down
I could get the life and love
That makes it easy
And the ease that makes
it all feel like it’s worth it
So far I’ve been just a little line
Getting executed in a loop in time
Shove me in a register and make me prime
So far I’ve been just a little line
Getting executed in a loop in time
Shove me in a register and make me prime
So far I’ve been just a little line
So far I’ve been just a little line
So far I’ve been just a little line
Don’t let this hard week keep you down
I know it seems life’s just dying showed down
But hold on ’cause real soon you’ll come around
Just believe in me I’ll help you out
Cause I’m the ghost that haunts you that don’t believe in itself
In this place you just don’t get enough
Don’t let what you need eat you up
I’m not sure I’ve got what you need love
And I can’t help without a slight shove
Cause I’m the ghost that haunts you that don’t believe in itself
Oooohhhhhh…..
Oooohhhhhh…..
You see through me….
I just see you…
You see through me…
I just see you…
Cause I’m the ghost that haunts you that don’t believe in itself
