A1 Changing Opinion 🎵 Lyrics By – Paul Simon 🎵 Vocals – Bernard Fowler



Gradually we became aware of a hum in the room, an electrical hum in the room... It went... Mmm

We followed it from corner to corner We pressed out ears against the walls

We crossed diagonals and put our hands on the floor It went ....Mmm

Sometimes it was a murmur Sometimes it was a pulse Sometimes it seemed to disappear

But then with a quarter-turn of the head It would roll around the sofa a nimbus humming cloud Mmm

Maybe it's the hum of a calm refrigerator Cooling on the big night mmm

Cooling on the big night Maybe it's the hum of our parents' voices

Long ago in a soft light Mmm Long ago in a dimmed light Mmm

Maybe it's the hum of changing opinion Or a foreign language In prayer... Mmm

Maybe it's the mantra of the walls and wiring Deep breathing In soft air... Mmm...

A2 Lightning 🎵 Lyrics By – Suzanne Vega 🎵 Vocals – Janice Pendarvis



Lightning struck a while ago and it’s blazing much too fast

But give it rain of waiting time and it will surely pass...

Blow over

And it’s happening so quickly as I feel the flaming time

And I grope about the embers to relieve my stormy mind...

Blow over...

Shaken this has left me and laughing and undone

With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness that’s just begun

And a windy crazy running through the nights and through the days

And a crackling of the time Burned away...

Now I feel it in my blood All hot and sharp and white

With a whipcrack and a thunder And a flash of flooding light... Oh...

But there’ll be a thick and smoky silence in the air

When the fire finally dies Who’ll be left there Oh...

In the ashes of time Burned away...

-------------------------------------------------

A3 Freezing 🎵 Lyrics By – Suzanne Vega 🎵 Vocals, Backing Vocals – Linda Ronstadt



If you had no name If you had no history If you had no books If you had no family

If it were only you naked on the grass Who would you be then? This is what he asked

And I said, I wasn't really sure But I would probably be cold

And now I'm freezing...

B1 Liquid Days (Part I) 🎵 Lyrics By – David Byrne 🎵 Vocals – The Roches



Oh round desire Oh red delight The river is blood The time is spent

The river is blood The time, the time is spent...

Love likes me Love takes it shoes off and sits on the couch

Love has an answer for everything Love smiles gently and crosses its legs

Well here we are... Sleep....

Being in air Turning to speak Losing our way Pour it all out

We are old friends I offer love a beer Love watches television

Love needs a bath Love could use a shave

Love rolls out of the chair and wiggles on the floor

Jumps up I'm laughing at love...

Drink me.....

Drive Breaths Drive Sleep

Why do you ask? Still is the Night

It is much further than we thought

--------------------------------------------------------------------

B2 Open The Kingdom (Liquid Days, Part II) 🎵 Lyrics By – David Byrne 🎵 Vocals – Douglas Perry



Days of fishes Distant roar

Turning to speak Turning to hear...

Open the kingdom... In my way...

Being most uncertain and this remains

Still for better birds of voices The field of living I am asking...

In my way... Being most uncertain and this remains

Still for better birds of voices The field of living I am asking...

Open the kingdom... Open the kingdom (open the kingdom)...

Returning love Returning with love Then it was written with love...

-------------------------

B3 Forgetting 🎵 Lyrics By – Laurie Anderson 🎵 Vocals – Linda Ronstadt 🎵 Backing Vocals – The Roches



A man wakes up to the sound of rain

From a dream about his lovers who pass through his room.

They brush lightly by, these lovers. They pass. Never touching

These passing lovers move through his room.

The man is awake now. He can't get to sleep again

So he repeats these words over and over again:

Bravery Kindness Clarity Honesty Compassion Generosity

Bravery Honesty Dignity Clarity Kindness Compassion
