Van Morrison - Beside you.


Little Jimmy's gone way out of the back streets
Out of the window, into the falling rain
And he's right on time, right on time
That's why broken arrow waved his finger

Down the road so dark and narrow
In the evening just before the Sunday sixbells chime
And way out on the highway
All the dogs are barkin' way down below

And you wander away from your hillside retreated view
Went to wanderin' Nordhbridge way out on the railroad
Together all the tipping trucks will unload
All the scrapbooks built together stuck with glue
And I'll stand beside you, beside you

Oh child to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
To never, never, never, never wonder why
It's gotta be, it has to be

Across the crystal pavements
Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the
Barefoot virgin child

To wander past your window in the nighttime 'cross the floor
Crying as ecstasy surrounds you
Through the night air your proud time is open
Go well against the pointed idle breeze

Past the footlights of the brazen silence easy
In the night you cry and you want spirits to tell you
Everything's alright
Go ahead and do it one more time baby
You're satisfied I guess
You're way up and the sky comes down
Kaleidoscope

Open and just hold the lantern in the doorway
For the freedom of it
And you take the night air through your nostrils
And you breathe in out, in out
And you breathe just like that, just like that

How does it get you when it gets you
When it gets ya
You may not know it's got you until you turn around
And I'll point a finger at you, point a finger at you

You say which way, which way
That's alright, we've gotten hip to it
Goin' to do it right now
Behind you, beside you, beside you

Oh child to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
Never, never, never, never wonder why at all

Excellent choice Gelson's dad. I'm a van nut and to be honest you could have picked anything off Astral weeks. Love the stream of consciousness lyrics about his childhood growing up in Belfast. My particular favourite is Madame George. Love the line;

"And you know you've got to go, all the way from Dublin up to Sandy Row, throwing pennies as the bridges down below, and the rain, hail, sleat and snow."

Honourable mention also to "Racing in the Street" by Springsteen.

Playing dominoes in drag.

The whole album is superb. And like a fine wine gets better with age.
As for Springsteen I should like him as he is to Van what Van was to James brown, but I find it hard to become emotionally attached to the "Americana" of it all. I have good reason to try but I just can't feel the soul.
 
No one I think is in my tree,
I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in
but it's all right.
That is I think it's not too bad.
 
No idea what the best lyrics are, there are so many songs out there. This pops into my head though. So brave for a Manchester band to write this on their first album when it was such a controversial subject matter.

Over the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And I'll lay me down
Over the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And I'll lay me down

Lesley-Anne, with your pretty white beads
Oh John, you'll never be a man
And you'll never see your home again
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Edward, see those alluring lights ?
Tonight will be your very last night

A woman said : "I know my son is dead
I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head"

Hindley wakes and Hindley says :
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says :
"Oh, wherever he has gone, I have gone"

But fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death
Fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death

Hindley wakes and says :
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says :
"Oh, whatever he has done, I have done"

But this is no easy ride
For a child cries :

"Oh, find me ... find me, nothing more
We are on a sullen misty moor
We may be dead and we may be gone
But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side
Until the day you die
This is no easy ride
We will haunt you when you laugh
Yes, you could say we're a team
You might sleep
You might sleep
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
Oh, you might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !"

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for

Oh, find me, find me !
Find me !
I'll haunt you when you laugh
Oh, I'll haunt you when you laugh
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
Oh ...
Over the moors, I'm on the moor
Oh, over the moor
Oh, the child is on the moor
