0:00:18 > 0:00:20I was born in Chickasaw County.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22When I was six we moved to another region
0:00:22 > 0:00:24in Mississippi called the Delta.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26And we lived between two rivers.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30One was the Yazoo
0:00:30 > 0:00:34and the other was the Tallahatchie.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44# It was the third of June
0:00:44 > 0:00:49# Another sleepy dusty Delta day
0:00:50 > 0:00:57# I was out chopping cotton and my brother was baling hay
0:00:59 > 0:01:05# And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
0:01:07 > 0:01:10# And Mama hollered at the back door
0:01:10 > 0:01:14# Y'all remember to wipe your feet
0:01:15 > 0:01:22# And then she said I got some news this morning from Choctaw Ridge
0:01:24 > 0:01:30# Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
0:01:33 > 0:01:39# And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the black-eyed peas
0:01:41 > 0:01:44# Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense
0:01:46 > 0:01:48# Pass the biscuits please
0:01:50 > 0:01:56# There's five more acres in the lower 40 I've got to plough
0:01:58 > 0:02:05# And Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe anyhow
0:02:07 > 0:02:14# Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
0:02:15 > 0:02:21# And now Billie Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
0:02:25 > 0:02:31# Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
0:02:33 > 0:02:39# Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
0:02:41 > 0:02:48# And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
0:02:50 > 0:02:56# I'll have another piece of apple pie you know it don't seem right
0:02:59 > 0:03:05# I saw him at the sawmill yesterday up on Choctaw Ridge
0:03:07 > 0:03:13# And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
0:03:15 > 0:03:22# And Mama said to me child what's happened to your appetite?
0:03:24 > 0:03:30# I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite
0:03:33 > 0:03:39# That nice young preacher Brother Taylor dropped by today
0:03:41 > 0:03:45# Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday
0:03:48 > 0:03:50# Oh by the way
0:03:50 > 0:03:57# He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
0:03:59 > 0:04:02# And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off
0:04:02 > 0:04:04# The Tallahatchie Bridge
0:04:08 > 0:04:14# A year has come n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
0:04:16 > 0:04:18# And brother married Becky Thompson
0:04:18 > 0:04:21# They bought a store in Tupelo
0:04:24 > 0:04:26# There was a virus going round
0:04:26 > 0:04:32# Papa caught it and he died last spring
0:04:33 > 0:04:39# And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
0:04:41 > 0:04:48# And me I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
0:04:50 > 0:04:55# And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge. #
0:05:10 > 0:05:18# I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies
0:05:23 > 0:05:30# Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
0:05:35 > 0:05:43# Turnin' on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
0:05:47 > 0:05:54# Healin' as the colours in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
0:05:59 > 0:06:06# Wakin' in the mornin' to the feelin' of her fingers on my skin
0:06:11 > 0:06:14# Wipin' out the traces of the people
0:06:14 > 0:06:18# And the places that I've been
0:06:23 > 0:06:25# Teachin' me that yesterday
0:06:25 > 0:06:32# Was something that I never thought of trying
0:06:35 > 0:06:41# Talkin' of tomorrow and the money love and time we had to spend
0:06:46 > 0:06:53# Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
0:06:58 > 0:07:02# Comin' close together with a feelin'
0:07:02 > 0:07:08# That I've never known before in my time
0:07:10 > 0:07:16# She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
0:07:21 > 0:07:29# I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door
0:07:29 > 0:07:31# In my mind
0:07:32 > 0:07:39# But dreamin' was as easy as believin' it was never gonna end
0:07:44 > 0:07:51# And lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
0:07:57 > 0:08:00# Oooooh
0:08:08 > 0:08:15# Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again. #
0:08:22 > 0:08:26APPLAUSE
0:08:43 > 0:08:47# Bows and flows of angel hair
0:08:47 > 0:08:52# And ice cream castles in the air
0:08:52 > 0:08:57# And feather canyons everywhere
0:08:57 > 0:09:02# I've looked at clouds that way
0:09:02 > 0:09:06# But now they only block the sun
0:09:06 > 0:09:11# They rain and snow on everyone
0:09:11 > 0:09:15# So many things I would have done
0:09:15 > 0:09:19# But clouds got in my way
0:09:19 > 0:09:25# Oh I've looked at clouds from both sides now
0:09:25 > 0:09:29# From up and down and still somehow
0:09:29 > 0:09:34# It's cloud illusions I recall
0:09:34 > 0:09:41# I really don't know clouds at all
0:09:51 > 0:09:55# Moons and dunes and Ferris wheels
0:09:55 > 0:09:59# The dizzy dancing way you feel
0:09:59 > 0:10:04# As every fairy tale comes real
0:10:04 > 0:10:09# Oh I've looked at love that way
0:10:09 > 0:10:13# But now it's just another show
0:10:13 > 0:10:19# You leave 'em laughing when you go
0:10:19 > 0:10:22# And if you care don't let them know
0:10:22 > 0:10:28# No don't give yourself away
0:10:28 > 0:10:32# I've looked at love from both sides now
0:10:32 > 0:10:36# From give and take and still somehow
0:10:36 > 0:10:41# It's love's illusions I recall
0:10:41 > 0:10:47# Oh I really don't know love at all
0:10:58 > 0:11:02# Tears and fears and feeling proud
0:11:02 > 0:11:07# To say I love you right out loud
0:11:07 > 0:11:11# Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
0:11:11 > 0:11:16# I've looked at life that way
0:11:16 > 0:11:20# But now old friends are acting strange
0:11:20 > 0:11:25# They shake their heads they say I've changed
0:11:25 > 0:11:30# Well something's lost but something's gained
0:11:30 > 0:11:33# In living every day
0:11:33 > 0:11:38# Oh I've looked at life from both sides now
0:11:38 > 0:11:43# From win and lose and still somehow
0:11:43 > 0:11:47# It's life's illusions I recall
0:11:47 > 0:11:51# Oh I really don't know life
0:11:54 > 0:11:57# At all. #
0:12:08 > 0:12:12APPLAUSE
0:12:20 > 0:12:24# If you could read my mind love
0:12:24 > 0:12:28# What a tale my thoughts could tell
0:12:28 > 0:12:32# Just like an old time movie
0:12:32 > 0:12:36# About a ghost from a wishing well
0:12:36 > 0:12:41# In a castle dark or a fortress strong
0:12:41 > 0:12:45# With chains upon my feet
0:12:45 > 0:12:49# You know that ghost is me
0:12:49 > 0:12:53# And I will never be set free
0:12:53 > 0:12:58# As long as I'm a ghost that you can see
0:13:02 > 0:13:06# If I could read your mind love
0:13:06 > 0:13:09# What a tale your thoughts could tell
0:13:10 > 0:13:14# Just like a paperback novel
0:13:14 > 0:13:18# The kind any drugstore would sell
0:13:18 > 0:13:20# When you reach the part
0:13:20 > 0:13:23# Where the heartaches come
0:13:23 > 0:13:26# The hero would be me
0:13:27 > 0:13:31# Heroes often fail
0:13:31 > 0:13:35# And you won't read that book again
0:13:35 > 0:13:40# Because the ending's just too hard to take
0:13:56 > 0:14:00# I walk away like a movie star
0:14:00 > 0:14:04# Who gets burned in a three-way script
0:14:05 > 0:14:09# Enter number two
0:14:09 > 0:14:13# A movie queen to play the scene
0:14:13 > 0:14:18# Of bringing all the good things out in me
0:14:19 > 0:14:22# But for now love let's be real
0:14:23 > 0:14:27# I never knew I could feel this way
0:14:27 > 0:14:32# And I've got to say that I just don't get it
0:14:32 > 0:14:35# I don't know where we went wrong
0:14:35 > 0:14:40# But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
0:14:48 > 0:14:52# If you could read my mind love
0:14:52 > 0:14:56# What a tale my thoughts could tell
0:14:56 > 0:15:00# Just like an old time movie
0:15:00 > 0:15:04# 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
0:15:04 > 0:15:09# In a castle dark or a fortress strong
0:15:09 > 0:15:13# With chains upon my feet
0:15:13 > 0:15:17# But stories always end
0:15:17 > 0:15:21# And if you read between the lines
0:15:21 > 0:15:26# You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
0:15:27 > 0:15:31# The feelings that you lack
0:15:31 > 0:15:35# I never knew I could feel this way
0:15:35 > 0:15:40# I've got to say that I just don't get it
0:15:40 > 0:15:43# I don't know where we went wrong
0:15:43 > 0:15:48# But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back. #
0:15:58 > 0:16:01APPLAUSE
0:16:01 > 0:16:09# May you never lay your head down
0:16:09 > 0:16:12# Without a hand to hold
0:16:12 > 0:16:20# May you never make your bed out in the cold
0:16:20 > 0:16:23# You're just like great strong brother of mine
0:16:23 > 0:16:26# You know that I love you true
0:16:26 > 0:16:31# And you never talk dirty behind my back
0:16:31 > 0:16:34# And I know that there's those that do
0:16:34 > 0:16:38# Oh please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
0:16:38 > 0:16:43# Love is a lesson to learn in our time
0:16:43 > 0:16:49# Now please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me
0:16:49 > 0:16:53# May you never lay your head down
0:16:53 > 0:16:56# Without a hand to hold
0:16:56 > 0:17:04# May you never make your bed out in the cold
0:17:04 > 0:17:08# You're just like a good warm sister to me
0:17:08 > 0:17:11# You know that I love you true
0:17:11 > 0:17:15# And you hold no blade to stab me in the back
0:17:15 > 0:17:19# And I know that there's those that do
0:17:19 > 0:17:23# Oh won't you please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
0:17:23 > 0:17:27# Life is a lesson to learn in our time
0:17:27 > 0:17:33# Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me
0:17:33 > 0:17:37# May you never lay your head down
0:17:37 > 0:17:41# Without a hand to hold
0:17:41 > 0:17:48# May you never make your bed out in the cold
0:17:48 > 0:17:52# You're just like a fat and crazy brother of mine
0:17:52 > 0:17:55# You know that I love you true
0:17:55 > 0:17:59# And you never talk dirty behind my back
0:17:59 > 0:18:03# And I know that there's those that you do
0:18:03 > 0:18:07# Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
0:18:07 > 0:18:11# Love is a lesson to learn in our time
0:18:11 > 0:18:17# Please won't you please won't you, bear it in mind for me
0:18:17 > 0:18:22# May you never lose your temper
0:18:22 > 0:18:25# If you get in a bar room fight
0:18:25 > 0:18:33# May you never lose your woman overnight
0:18:33 > 0:18:37# May you never lay your head down
0:18:37 > 0:18:40# Without a hand to hold
0:18:40 > 0:18:47# May you never make your bed out in the cold

0:19:09 > 0:19:16# May you never lose your woman overnight. #
0:19:35 > 0:19:37# You're not a dream
0:19:37 > 0:19:39# You're not an angel
0:19:39 > 0:19:42# You're a man
0:19:42 > 0:19:44# I'm not a queen
0:19:44 > 0:19:47# I'm a woman take my hand
0:19:48 > 0:19:54# We'll make a space in the lives that we'd planned
0:19:54 > 0:20:00# And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
0:20:00 > 0:20:03# Yes we're different worlds apart
0:20:03 > 0:20:06# We're not the same
0:20:06 > 0:20:12# We laughed and played at the start like in a game
0:20:12 > 0:20:18# You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came
0:20:18 > 0:20:24# Here you'll stay until it's time for you to go
0:20:27 > 0:20:33# Don't ask why

0:20:52 > 0:20:55# It has no end
0:20:55 > 0:20:58# I was an oak now I'm a willow
0:20:58 > 0:21:01# Now I can bend
0:21:01 > 0:21:07# And though I'll never in my life see you again
0:21:07 > 0:21:13# Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go

0:22:25 > 0:22:27# Broken windows
0:22:29 > 0:22:31# Empty hallways
0:22:32 > 0:22:35# Pale dead moon
0:22:35 > 0:22:38# And a sky streaked with grey
0:22:40 > 0:22:43# Human kindness
0:22:43 > 0:22:45# Is overflowing
0:22:47 > 0:22:53# And I think it's going to rain today
0:23:00 > 0:23:06# Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
0:23:07 > 0:23:13# Frozen smiles to chase love away
0:23:15 > 0:23:21# Human kindness is overflowing
0:23:21 > 0:23:28# And I think it's going to rain today
0:23:34 > 0:23:36# Lonely
0:23:41 > 0:23:43# Lonely
0:23:49 > 0:23:51# Tin can at my feet
0:23:53 > 0:23:55# I think I'll kick it down the street
0:23:57 > 0:23:59# That's the way
0:23:59 > 0:24:01# You treat friends
0:24:08 > 0:24:10# Right before me
0:24:12 > 0:24:14# The signs implore me
0:24:16 > 0:24:19# Help the needy
0:24:19 > 0:24:21# And show them the way
0:24:24 > 0:24:29# Human kindness is overflowing
0:24:31 > 0:24:38# And I think it's going to rain today. #
0:24:49 > 0:24:52APPLAUSE
0:24:52 > 0:24:54# Starry starry night
0:24:56 > 0:25:01# Paint your palette blue and grey
0:25:01 > 0:25:04# Look out on a summer's day
0:25:04 > 0:25:08# With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
0:25:08 > 0:25:10# Shadows on the hills
0:25:13 > 0:25:16# Sketch the trees and the daffodils
0:25:17 > 0:25:21# Catch the breeze and the winter chills
0:25:21 > 0:25:25# In colours on the snowy linen land
0:25:27 > 0:25:29# Now I understand
0:25:32 > 0:25:37# What you tried to say to me
0:25:37 > 0:25:41# How you suffered for your sanity
0:25:41 > 0:25:44# And how you tried to set them free
0:25:44 > 0:25:48# They would not listen they did not know how
0:25:50 > 0:25:53# Perhaps they'll listen now
0:25:55 > 0:25:57# Starry starry night
0:25:59 > 0:26:04# Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
0:26:04 > 0:26:08# Swirling clouds in violet haze
0:26:08 > 0:26:12# Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
0:26:12 > 0:26:15# Colours changing hue
0:26:16 > 0:26:20# Morning fields of amber grain
0:26:20 > 0:26:24# Weathered faces lined in pain
0:26:24 > 0:26:29# Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
0:26:29 > 0:26:31# Now I understand
0:26:34 > 0:26:37# What you tried to say to me
0:26:37 > 0:26:42# How you suffered for your sanity
0:26:42 > 0:26:46# How you tried to set them free
0:26:46 > 0:26:49# They would not listen they did not know how
0:26:51 > 0:26:54# Perhaps they'll listen now
0:26:54 > 0:26:58# For they could not love you
0:26:58 > 0:27:01# But still your love was true
0:27:03 > 0:27:06# And when no hope was left inside
0:27:06 > 0:27:09# On that starry starry night
0:27:09 > 0:27:13# You took your life as lovers often do
0:27:14 > 0:27:17# But I could have told you Vincent
0:27:17 > 0:27:24# This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
0:27:27 > 0:27:28# Starry starry night
0:27:31 > 0:27:35# Portraits hung in empty halls
0:27:35 > 0:27:39# Frameless heads on nameless walls
0:27:39 > 0:27:43# With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
0:27:43 > 0:27:46# Like the strangers that you've met
0:27:47 > 0:27:51# The ragged men in ragged clothes
0:27:51 > 0:27:55# The silver thorn a bloody rose
0:27:55 > 0:28:00# Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
0:28:00 > 0:28:03# Now I think I know
0:28:05 > 0:28:09# What you tried to say to me
0:28:09 > 0:28:14# How you suffered for your sanity
0:28:14 > 0:28:17# How you tried to set them free
0:28:17 > 0:28:23# They would not listen they're not listening still
0:28:23 > 0:28:30# Perhaps they never will. #
0:28:36 > 0:28:38APPLAUSE
0:28:45 > 0:28:49# I thought I heard the sound of my name
0:28:49 > 0:28:52# And I looked back down behind me
0:28:52 > 0:28:57# And with hair like the ripened wheat she came
0:28:57 > 0:29:00# Sure as the west wind to find me
0:29:00 > 0:29:04# And just for a moment I wished my life
0:29:04 > 0:29:08# To see our friends all around us
0:29:08 > 0:29:11# And I turned to her
0:29:11 > 0:29:16# I held my breath in the far Norwegian mountains
0:29:16 > 0:29:20# For there we stood two children of spring
0:29:20 > 0:29:23# As everything seemed to be gleaming
0:29:23 > 0:29:27# Her looking breathless clean out of my mind
0:29:27 > 0:29:30# And me with my crazy dreaming
0:29:32 > 0:29:35# To think of my friends underneath the same roof
0:29:35 > 0:29:37# In one common destination
0:29:39 > 0:29:42# When all we do is remain aloof
0:29:42 > 0:29:45# Like we have no close relation
0:29:50 > 0:29:54# And love is my torment
0:29:56 > 0:29:59# And I'll take when I can
0:30:03 > 0:30:09# But I'll give in the moment
0:30:10 > 0:30:17# When you are my woman and I am your man
0:30:26 > 0:30:30# And I watched her making her first daisy chain
0:30:30 > 0:30:34# As her nipples hung hard in suggestion
0:30:34 > 0:30:37# And naked not bitten we drifted the plain
0:30:37 > 0:30:41# In the hazy desert of sensation
0:30:41 > 0:30:45# And we dreamt of all the loves we'd known
0:30:45 > 0:30:47# And we never thought of the sorrow
0:30:49 > 0:30:51# With forelocks wound on the primrose down
0:30:51 > 0:30:56# In the wood by the empty long barrow
0:30:56 > 0:30:59# Two silver greenflies to flicker the back
0:30:59 > 0:31:04# Dropping lush of the emerald springtime
0:31:04 > 0:31:07# To lust for a moment in love of another
0:31:07 > 0:31:10# As dust on a dragonfly's wing
0:31:14 > 0:31:19# And love is no torment
0:31:19 > 0:31:24# For we'll give when we can
0:31:27 > 0:31:33# And we'll live in the moment
0:31:33 > 0:31:41# When you are my woman and I am your man
0:31:51 > 0:31:54# And the black cap sings and the forest rings
0:31:54 > 0:31:58# The nettles tall all around me
0:31:58 > 0:32:02# With shafts of sun and moving things
0:32:02 > 0:32:06# And poems fast and slowly
0:32:06 > 0:32:09# And fantasies of luscious thirst
0:32:09 > 0:32:13# For new lust and fresh waters to seek it
0:32:13 > 0:32:16# Like diamonds set in realities
0:32:16 > 0:32:20# Of skies drawn back in secret
0:32:20 > 0:32:24# But somewhere out there with my heart in her care
0:32:24 > 0:32:27# Her prayers and the breezes that caught them
0:32:27 > 0:32:31# She sits like the Earth as I fly to her arms
0:32:31 > 0:32:36# Like the showering yellows of autumn
0:32:38 > 0:32:43# And love is no torment
0:32:43 > 0:32:49# For we'll give when we can
0:32:51 > 0:32:57# And we'll live for the moment
0:32:57 > 0:33:02# When she is my woman
0:33:02 > 0:33:08# And I am her man. #
0:33:23 > 0:33:26# It's the frame it's the frame that you're in
0:33:26 > 0:33:30# It's the frame it's the frame it's the frame
0:33:30 > 0:33:34# It said you may grumble said you may groan
0:33:34 > 0:33:37# You may cry till those cows come home
0:33:47 > 0:33:54# Oh Lord I don't know you very well
0:33:54 > 0:34:00# Though I think you have touched me once or twice
0:34:02 > 0:34:04# But I know
0:34:04 > 0:34:10# I know you got a lot of grace and love and light
0:34:10 > 0:34:16# Do you think you could spare some on my life?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20# It's the frame it's the frame that you're in
0:34:20 > 0:34:24# It's the frame it's the frame it's the frame
0:34:24 > 0:34:29# It said you may grumble said you may groan
0:34:29 > 0:34:35# You may cry till those cows come home
0:34:42 > 0:34:49# Oh Lord now you don't wanna be the only one in heaven do ya?
0:34:49 > 0:34:53# Wouldn't you like me and my friends
0:34:53 > 0:34:58# And my family for company?
0:34:58 > 0:35:05# So could you send some of your grace and love and light
0:35:05 > 0:35:11# And while you're there could you spare us some charity?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16# It's the frame it's the frame that you're in
0:35:16 > 0:35:20# It's the frame it's the frame it's the frame
0:35:20 > 0:35:24# It said you may grumble said you may groan
0:35:24 > 0:35:30# You may cry till those cows come home
0:35:30 > 0:35:37# Oh Lord have mercy on me
0:35:37 > 0:35:40# I said Lord
0:35:40 > 0:35:46# Lord Lord have mercy on me. #
0:35:47 > 0:35:51# When I was young
0:35:51 > 0:35:54# I never needed anyone
0:35:57 > 0:36:00# And makin' love was just for fun
0:36:02 > 0:36:04# Those days are gone
0:36:09 > 0:36:11# Livin' alone
0:36:12 > 0:36:16# I think of all the friends I've known
0:36:19 > 0:36:22# But when I dial the telephone
0:36:24 > 0:36:26# Nobody's home
0:36:34 > 0:36:41# All by myself
0:36:41 > 0:36:48# Don't wanna be all by myself
0:36:48 > 0:36:52# Any more
0:36:52 > 0:36:57# All by myself
0:36:57 > 0:36:59# Don't wanna live
0:36:59 > 0:37:07# All by myself any more
0:37:07 > 0:37:09# Hard to be sure
0:37:10 > 0:37:14# Sometimes I feel so insecure
0:37:16 > 0:37:20# And love so distant and obscure
0:37:21 > 0:37:24# Remains the cure
0:37:53 > 0:37:58# All by myself
0:37:59 > 0:38:01# Don't wanna be
0:38:01 > 0:38:08# All by myself any more
0:38:09 > 0:38:15# All by myself
0:38:15 > 0:38:17# Don't wanna live
0:38:17 > 0:38:24# All by myself any more
0:38:56 > 0:38:58# When I was young
0:39:00 > 0:39:03# I never needed anyone
0:39:06 > 0:39:09# And makin' love was just for fun
0:39:12 > 0:39:14# Those days are gone
0:39:24 > 0:39:29# All by myself
0:39:30 > 0:39:32# Don't wanna be
0:39:32 > 0:39:39# All by myself any more
0:39:40 > 0:39:45# All by myself
0:39:46 > 0:39:48# Don't wanna live
0:39:48 > 0:39:55# All by myself any more
0:39:57 > 0:40:01# All by myself
0:40:03 > 0:40:05# Don't wanna be
0:40:05 > 0:40:08# All by myself. #
0:40:08 > 0:40:12During the past two or three years, I must have seen Loudon Wainwright
0:40:12 > 0:40:13at least half-a-dozen times
0:40:13 > 0:40:16and I think I enjoy him more each time I do.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17He seems to me a marvellous man
0:40:17 > 0:40:18and it's a great pleasure
0:40:18 > 0:40:20to have him join us on the programme tonight.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24His first song is called Reciprocity so here is Loudon Wainwright.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38# They got drunk last night
0:40:40 > 0:40:43# Had a knock-down dragged out fight
0:40:47 > 0:40:52# She was determined and he saw it his way
0:40:52 > 0:40:58# He threw a tantrum and she threw an ashtray
0:40:58 > 0:41:00# They got drunk
0:41:02 > 0:41:04# Last night
0:41:09 > 0:41:13# How's this for a how-do-you-do?
0:41:14 > 0:41:18# He's unfaithful she's untrue
0:41:21 > 0:41:26# They're their own masters and they're their own bosses
0:41:26 > 0:41:31# They reserve the right to employ double-crosses
0:41:33 > 0:41:38# How is this for a fine how-do-you-do?
0:41:44 > 0:41:49# You'd need a chair and a whip
0:41:49 > 0:41:52# To control their relationship
0:41:56 > 0:42:00# Once they were lovers and practically best friends
0:42:00 > 0:42:08# Now he's into bondage and she's into revenge
0:42:08 > 0:42:12# You would need a chair
0:42:12 > 0:42:15# And a whip
0:42:20 > 0:42:23# And if one of them should die
0:42:24 > 0:42:28# I suppose that the other would cry
0:42:31 > 0:42:37# There would be tears of sorrow and great grief
0:42:37 > 0:42:43# Or else there would be tears of release and relief
0:42:43 > 0:42:48# If one of them
0:42:48 > 0:42:50# Should die. #
0:43:02 > 0:43:04# Have you seen the old man
0:43:04 > 0:43:08# In the closed down market?
0:43:08 > 0:43:12# Kicking up the papers
0:43:12 > 0:43:15# With his worn out shoes
0:43:15 > 0:43:18# In his eyes you see no pride
0:43:18 > 0:43:21# And held loosely at his side
0:43:21 > 0:43:24# Yesterday's paper
0:43:24 > 0:43:26# Telling yesterday's news
0:43:29 > 0:43:36# So how can you tell me you're lonely?
0:43:36 > 0:43:42# And you say for you that the sun don't shine
0:43:42 > 0:43:46# Let me take you by the hand
0:43:46 > 0:43:49# And lead you through the streets of London
0:43:49 > 0:43:52# I'll show you something
0:43:52 > 0:43:55# To make you change your mind
0:44:03 > 0:44:09# And have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London?
0:44:09 > 0:44:12# Dirt in her hair
0:44:12 > 0:44:15# And the clothes in rags
0:44:15 > 0:44:18# She's no time for talking
0:44:18 > 0:44:22# She just keeps right on walking
0:44:22 > 0:44:27# Carrying her home in two carrier bags
0:44:29 > 0:44:35# So how can you tell me you're lonely?
0:44:37 > 0:44:41# And you say for you that the sun don't shine
0:44:43 > 0:44:46# Let me take you by the hand
0:44:46 > 0:44:50# And lead you through the streets of London
0:44:50 > 0:44:52# I'll show you something
0:44:52 > 0:44:56# To make you change your mind
0:45:09 > 0:45:12# And in the all-night cafe
0:45:12 > 0:45:14# At a quarter past eleven
0:45:17 > 0:45:22# Same old man sitting there on his own
0:45:22 > 0:45:25# Looking at the world
0:45:25 > 0:45:29# Over the rim of his tea cup
0:45:29 > 0:45:32# And each tea lasts an hour
0:45:32 > 0:45:35# And he wanders home alone
0:45:37 > 0:45:44# So how can you tell me you're lonely?
0:45:44 > 0:45:48# And you say for you that the sun don't shine
0:45:51 > 0:45:54# Let me take you by the hand
0:45:54 > 0:45:58# And lead you through the streets of London
0:45:58 > 0:46:00# I'll show you something
0:46:00 > 0:46:03# To make you change your mind
0:46:11 > 0:46:14# And have you seen the old man
0:46:14 > 0:46:18# Outside the seaman's mission
0:46:18 > 0:46:24# Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
0:46:24 > 0:46:27# In our winter city
0:46:27 > 0:46:30# The rain cries a little pity
0:46:30 > 0:46:34# For one more forgotten hero
0:46:34 > 0:46:36# And a world that doesn't care
0:46:39 > 0:46:44# So how can you tell me you're lonely?
0:46:46 > 0:46:50# And you say for you that the sun don't shine
0:46:52 > 0:46:55# Let me take you by the hand
0:46:55 > 0:46:59# And lead you through the streets of London
0:46:59 > 0:47:02# I'll show you something
0:47:02 > 0:47:04# To make you change your mind. #
0:47:04 > 0:47:07APPLAUSE
0:47:07 > 0:47:10We are very lucky to have the guest we have with us tonight.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12It's her first tour of Britain,
0:47:12 > 0:47:14her first appearance on the programme live.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17Would you please welcome Miss Dory Previn?
0:47:17 > 0:47:19APPLAUSE
0:47:26 > 0:47:30# I have flown to star-stained heights
0:47:30 > 0:47:33# On bent and battered wings
0:47:33 > 0:47:36# In search of mythical kings
0:47:36 > 0:47:40# Mythical kings
0:47:40 > 0:47:44# Sure that everything of worth
0:47:44 > 0:47:47# Is in the sky and not the Earth
0:47:47 > 0:47:51# And I never learned to make my way
0:47:51 > 0:47:53# Down, down, down
0:47:53 > 0:47:57# Where the iguanas play
0:47:57 > 0:48:04# I have ridden comet tails in search of magic rings
0:48:04 > 0:48:09# To conjure mythical kings mythical kings
0:48:09 > 0:48:14# Oh yes singing scraps of angel song
0:48:14 > 0:48:18# High is right and low is wrong
0:48:18 > 0:48:22# I never learnt to make my way
0:48:22 > 0:48:28# Down down down where the iguanas play
0:48:28 > 0:48:32# Astral walks I've tried to take
0:48:32 > 0:48:36# I sit and throw the eaching
0:48:36 > 0:48:41# Aesthetic bards and tarot cards of the chords to which I cling
0:48:41 > 0:48:44# Don't break my strings
0:48:44 > 0:48:45# I wish you would
0:48:45 > 0:48:47# Or I will fall
0:48:47 > 0:48:53# I wish I could I wish I could
0:48:53 > 0:48:56# Curse the mind that mounts the clouds
0:48:56 > 0:49:01# In search of mythical kings
0:49:01 > 0:49:05# And only mystical things mystical things
0:49:05 > 0:49:07# Oh yes
0:49:07 > 0:49:11# Cry for the soul that will not face
0:49:11 > 0:49:14# The body as an equal place
0:49:14 > 0:49:18# And I never learnt to touch for real
0:49:18 > 0:49:21# Or feel the things iguanas feel
0:49:21 > 0:49:24# Down down down down
0:49:24 > 0:49:26# Where they play
0:49:28 > 0:49:30# Teach me
0:49:32 > 0:49:33# Teach me
0:49:35 > 0:49:39# Teach me
0:49:39 > 0:49:44# Reach me. #
0:49:48 > 0:49:51APPLAUSE
0:49:57 > 0:50:02# Till the rivers all run dry
0:50:05 > 0:50:12# Till the sun falls from the sky
0:50:13 > 0:50:18# Till life on Earth is through
0:50:21 > 0:50:26# I'll be needing you
0:50:29 > 0:50:33# I know sometimes you may wonder
0:50:37 > 0:50:41# From little things I say and do.
0:50:44 > 0:50:49# But there's no need for you wonder
0:50:51 > 0:50:54# If I need you
0:50:54 > 0:50:58# Cos I'll need you
0:50:58 > 0:51:03# Till the rivers all run dry
0:51:06 > 0:51:11# Till the sun falls from the sky
0:51:14 > 0:51:19# Till life on Earth is through
0:51:22 > 0:51:27# I'll be needing you
0:51:46 > 0:51:51# Too many times I don't tell you
0:51:54 > 0:51:57# Too many things get in the way
0:52:01 > 0:52:06# And even though sometimes I hurt you
0:52:07 > 0:52:09# Still you show me
0:52:12 > 0:52:15# In every way
0:52:15 > 0:52:21# Till the rivers all run dry
0:52:23 > 0:52:29# Till the sun falls from the sky
0:52:31 > 0:52:36# Till life on Earth is through
0:52:39 > 0:52:44# I'll be needing you. #
0:53:03 > 0:53:05APPLAUSE
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Our second studio guest tonight is probably not
0:53:07 > 0:53:10for you a household name, but he's had a growing career
0:53:10 > 0:53:11in Ireland over many years.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14His name is Paul Brady and he began in Dublin rock bands
0:53:14 > 0:53:17such as Rockhouse and The Kult back in the '60s.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19He was in the folk band The Johnstons
0:53:19 > 0:53:21and later joined Planxty, though never recorded with them.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24Since then, he's building his reputation as a solo artist
0:53:24 > 0:53:27and this month releases an album called Hard Station.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29He's playing the Venue tomorrow night.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31But right now, he's here to play Crazy Dreams.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Paul Brady, who closes the show for tonight.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11# Snowbound siren in the winter dawn
0:54:11 > 0:54:14# There was a blizzard blowing in from off the river
0:54:17 > 0:54:20# It's ten below on all these city streets
0:54:21 > 0:54:24# But the feeling in your heart is even colder
0:54:28 > 0:54:31# Sunrise screeching down the line
0:54:31 > 0:54:35# And the fog banks running out of time
0:54:35 > 0:54:40# But you won't be here when they creep in tomorrow
0:54:42 > 0:54:44# Oh no
0:54:46 > 0:54:50# You're tired of dreaming someone else's dreams
0:54:50 > 0:54:53# When they really don't include you any longer
0:54:56 > 0:55:00# Miles from home you're sliding down with each day
0:55:00 > 0:55:03# And you need a woman's love to make you stronger
0:55:06 > 0:55:09# Lately you've been getting doubts
0:55:11 > 0:55:14# A voice inside keeps calling out
0:55:14 > 0:55:19# There's someone else whose dreams don't get you nowhere
0:55:25 > 0:55:29# So shut the suitcase kiss the year goodbye
0:55:29 > 0:55:32# Don't let nobody stop you at the doorway
0:55:35 > 0:55:39# And close the shutters on this empty room
0:55:39 > 0:55:42# Where these crazy dreams come crawling
0:55:46 > 0:55:48# Head on out across that line
0:55:49 > 0:55:52# Where she's been waiting all this time
0:55:53 > 0:55:58# Tell her that you want her there forever
0:56:00 > 0:56:02# Forever and ever
0:56:40 > 0:56:44# It's still two hours until this plane gets down
0:56:44 > 0:56:48# Can hardly bear to wait another minute
0:56:50 > 0:56:54# Your sweet loving baby is all that I need
0:56:54 > 0:56:59# Darling it's been building up inside of me
0:57:00 > 0:57:04# Tonight we're going to paint this town
0:57:04 > 0:57:08# We're going to drink champagne until we both fall down
0:57:08 > 0:57:13# We'll find some other crazy dream tomorrow. #
