I'm coming back later but i'm tossing in the whole book,
"RISE UP SCREAMING". If I hear open to page %#$&* again,
ever, it's open season. If it's not worth learning why
it, The tune is to "Jack In The Green"

A pub session or a party is a very strange thing
They're all out of fashion, no more do they sing
For they read from a book or copy a tape
They imitate sounds no mortal should make

There's no sound in the kitchen, no sound in the hall
There's a murderous screech that plays off the walls
Where is the music, where are the songs
In the mouths of monsters where no sound belongs

Dead pan they look as they sing in your face
They'l spit out the words and the tune they'll disgrace
A song will be beat o'r and over to death
And in a round robin they'l resurrect it again

No more will be heard a version that's lost
Or a variant that's rare or two songs that were crossed
The borrowing or sharing of a tune or a song
Will be according to the Bible, all else will be wrong

And now for the future, it's bleak for the song
No young mortal will dare to carry it on
They'll be none around who without books can sing
Or swap without tapes or rise up singing.

I know that I just wiped out a musical library in one
swift stroke, but there is alot of talent in closets
due to 'sing that same one'.
