Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good, They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home. Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone. But I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned.

On the way back home we sang a song But our throats were getting dry Then we saw the man from across the road With the sunshine in his eyes Well he lived all alone in his own little home With a great big gallon jar There were bottles too, one for me and you And he said Hey! There you are
Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream
And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me
Van Morrison edit:(I forgot to paint my home blue)

All day I face, the barren waste, without the taste, of water, Cool water. Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry, and souls that cry, for water, Cool water.
The night are cool, and I'm a fool, each stars a pool, of water, Cool water. But with the dawn, I'll wake and yawn, and carry on, to water, Cool water.
Keep a movin' Dan, don't you listen to him Dan, he's a devil not a man, and he spreads the burnin' sand, with water. Dan can't you see, that big green tree, where the waters runnin' free, and it's waiting there for me, and you. Water, cool water.
The shadows sway, and seem to say, tonight we pray, for water, Cool water. And way up there, He'll hear our prayer, and show us where, there's water, Cool Water.
Dan's feet are sore, he's yearning for, just one thing more, than water, Cool water. Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest, where there's no quest, for water, Cool, (water) clear, (water) water (water).

Black Water
Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin' Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name Catfish are jumpin' That paddle wheel thumpin' Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same
Old black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me Old black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me Old black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me Yeah, keep on shinin' your light Gonna make everything, pretty mama Gonna make everything all right And I ain't got no worries 'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Cómo quieres ser mi amiga si por ti daría la vida, si confundo tu sonrisa por camelo si me miras. Razón y piel, difícil mezla, agua y sed, serio problema. Agua~Jarabe de Palo
How do you want to be my friend If I would give my life for you, If I confuse your smile with the lies you tell with your gaze. Logic and skin, a difficult mixture, water and thirst, a serious problem.
My translation. I'd love it if anyone could do it better...

El derecho de vivir poeta ho chi minh, que golpea de Vietnam a toda la humanidad. Ningun caton borrara¡ el surco de tu arrozal. El derecho de vivir en paz.

Well, come on all of you, big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again. He's got himself in a terrible jam Way down yonder in Vietnam So put down your books and pick up a gun, We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.
And it's one, two, three, What are we fighting for ? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, Next stop is Vietnam; And it's five, six, seven, Open up the pearly gates, Well there ain't no time to wonder why, Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Oh my Mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say, That's why I'm such a wonderful shot. I'd be am out in the cactus and I practice all day, And now tell me what have I got. I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger Than a pen point, I'm number one. But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar- Oh you can't get a man with a gun . When I'm with a pistol I sparkle like a crystal, Yes, I shine like the morning sun. But I lose all my luster When with a Bronco Buster. Oh you can't get a man with a gun. With a gun, with a gun, No, you can't get a man with a gun. If I went to battle With someone's herd of cattle You'd have steak when the job was done. But if shot the herder, They'd holler "bloody murder" And you can't shoot a male In the tail like a quail [!] Oh you can't get a man with a gun. I'm cool, brave and daring To see a lion glaring When I'm out with my Remington But a look from a mister Will raise a fever blister Oh you can't get a man with a gun. Irving Berlin

He’s not into miracles Sees life all too cynical The cat has got his tongue Now she bangs on his drum He says "Pull the other one" Bells ring, look what you have done Emotions leaking out Her paint’s all over town What’s that she’s playing? Annie get your gun

Oh, draw the blinds We can shut out the night Oh, pull up the blankets Pull the blankets up tight
And there are angels on our curtains They keep the outside out And there are lions on our curtains They lick their wounds They lick their doubt
