Down on runway number nine
Big seven-o-seven set to go
And I'm stuck here on the grass
Where the cold winds blow
Well the liquor tasted good
And the time went fast
There she goes my friend
There she's rolling now at last

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying o'er my home
In about three hours time

Well this old airport's got me down
It ain't no earthly good to me
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
Cold and lonely as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
So I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain

EDITORIAL/PROGRESS (from the Progress Suite)
(Jeremy Clyde)

Look at the progress we've made
Get your vitamin quota in your soup ready made
Forget that there's hunger around you
Look at the progress we've seen
Perhaps you should cut down on sugar and cream
You can't button your jacket around you

Overcrowded world, what happens now?
Better pray to your gods and hope that some how
Far from the shack you call home
They aren't burning the grain that has ripened and grown
'Cause the prices have fallen again

So eat up your rice Billy dear
They're starving in India
'Least that's what I hear
Come on my child, cram it down you

Eat up your rice Billy dear
They're starving in India
'Least that's what I hear
Come on my child, cram it down you

But we are okay in our shiny new car
Look at us now, you can see we've come far
And here I am playing elecric guitar
Look at the progress we've made

THE EMANCIPATION OF MR. X
(Jeremy Clyde)

There's a man I know - I shall call him Mr. X
(Such a nice man)
Then one fine day, mr. X was heard to say
"You can all go to hell!"
And he wished the office boy farewell
As he scrambled for the stairs

Such a nice man
Why ever do a thing like that?
He didn't even take his hat
Or draw his pay

He didn't wander very far
For as he reached the car
He saw the park beyond
And little boats upon a pond
And he wanted just to play, so . . . .

Like a man possessed
He walked to the pond and there undressed
And gamboled in the sun
And he shrieked all the while, "I'm having fun
For the first time in my life!"

Such a nice man
You'll never guess what happened then
I only heard about it when
The ambulance came

While he was thus imbued
And was sitting in the nude
He was looking at a flower
And as the clock struck the hour of five
They carted him away

Such a nice man
He says he's God and perhaps he's right
For he never ever gets uptight
And he swears he's sane

And he prays for us all every night
Such a nice man

EPILOGUE/ONCE THERE WAS A MAN (from the Progress Suite)
(Jeremy Clyde)

Once there was a man
Who spoke his thoughts out loud
Who believed in what he said
And walked out in the crowd
But they took him and they taught him
What they wanted him to say
Once there was a man

Once there was a world
In which a man could live
In which a tree could grow
In which a man could give
But they took it and they churned it
Into mud and brick and steel
Once there was a world

Thus each man kills the thing he loves
And each man fails to see
The lessons on the page of history

Once there was a life
A beginning and an end
But now that's dead and gone
So tell me who will send
A man to live and breathe
And in the end destroy?

Once there was a life
Once there was a world
Once there was a man

EVERYONE'S GONE TO THE MOON
(Jonathan King)

Streets full of people all alone
Roads full of houses never home
Church full of singing out of tune
Everyone's gone to the moon

Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun coming out in the middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon

Long time ago, life had begun
Everyone went to the sun

Hearts full of motors painted green
Mouths full of chocolate covered cream
Arms that can only lift a spoon
Everyone's gone to the moon
Everyone's gone to the moon
Everyone's gone to the moon

EVIL HEARTED ME
(C. White/Josh White)

I woke up this mornin', I was feelin' mighty bad
Baby said good mornin', hell, it made me mad
"Cause I'm evil, evil hearted me
So downright evil as a man can be

She even brought my breakfast, she brought it to my bed
I took the cup of coffee, threw the cup at her head
Evil, evil hearted me
So downright evil as a man can be

I don't even care if it rains from now on
And the gal I love had never been born
"Cause I'm evil, evil hearted me
So downright evil as a man can be

I don't even care if she leaves me flat
I got forty seven others if it comes to that
Evil, evil hearted me
So downright evil as a man can be

FARE THEE WELL (I MUST BE GONE)
(traditional)

Fare thee well I must be gone
To leave you for a while
Where 'ere I go I will return
If I go ten thousand miles

If I go
If I go
If I go ten thousand miles

The crow that is so black my love
Will change his colour white
If 'ere I should prove false to thee
The day will turn to night

The day
The day
The day will turn to night

The rivers never will run dry
The rocks melt in the sun
I'll ne'er prove false to the girl I love
Till all these things be done

Till all
Till all
Till all these things be done

Till all these things be done
Till all these things be done

FARE THEE WELL (MARIANNE)
(traditional)

Fare thee well my own true love
Fare thee well my dear
The ship is a'waiting and the wind blows free
And I am bound away to the sea, Marianne

Ten thouand miles away from home
Ten thousand miles or more
The sea may freeze or the earth may burn
If I never no more return to thee Marianne

The lobster boiling in the pot
The bluefish on the hook
The pain they bear is nothing like
The ache I bear for you my dear, Marianne

If I had a flask of gin
Sugar here for two
And a great big bowl for to mix 'em in
I'd pour a drink for you my dear, Marianne

Fare thee well my own true love
Fare thee well my dear
The ship is a'waiting and the wind blows free
And I am bound away to the sea, Marianne

FAREWELL DR. LIVINGSTONE
(Chad Stuart)

Doctor Livingstone, forgive my tears
We haven't seen you in so many years
The world has given you up for lost
I said I'd find you no matter what the cost
And so, Doctor Livingstone, how are you?
And what does a gentleman find to do
In the jungle all these years?

My name is Stanley and I've come through
This terrible jungle to rescue you
I bring you greetings from all your friends
Your lonely vigil has come to an end
And so, Doctor Livingstone, here's a toast
To Father, Son and Holy Ghost
For keeping you alive

I am grateful for your kindness
After six long years alone
Pour the champagne; sit beside me
Tell me all the news of home
You find me destitute and lonely
Without the strength to carry on
But I have promised not to leave here
While there's so much to be done

Sometimes it seems to be
My God has forsaken me
Was I wrong to think they need me here?

Doctor Livingstone, it's plain to see
That you're exhausted as a man can be
Why don't you give up? It's no disgrace
You've taken as much as a man can take
And so, Doctor Livingstone, please come home
You're much too old to be here alone
In the jungle all these years

From the shores of Lake Nyasa
Down Zambesi to the sea
I am sworn to fight the slave trade
Until every man is free

Zambesi, bear his body down
Going home, going home
Zambesi, bear your burden down
To the sea, to the sea

That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me

I ain't the kind to hang around
With any new love that I've found
Movin' is my stock in trade, I'm movin' on
I won't think of you when I'm gone

Now don't you shed a tear for me
I ain't the love you thought I'd be
I got a hundred more like you
So don't be blue
I'll have a thousand 'fore I'm through

No there you go, you're cryin' again
No there you go, you're cryin' again
But then some day when your poor heart is on the mend
I just might pass this way again

That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything you had is gone, as you can see
That's what you get for lovin' me

FOUR STRONG WINDS
(Tyson)

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
But our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Think I'll go down to Alberta
Where there's good times in the Fall
Got some friends that I can stay with, working for
But I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times before

If I get there before the snow flies
And if things are looking good
I could meet you if I sent you down the fare
But by then it would be winter
There ain't too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
But our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

FROM A WINDOW
(Lennon McCartney)

Late yesterday night
I saw a light shine from a window
And as I looked again
Your face came into sight
I couldn't walk on
Until you'd gone from your window
I had to make you mine
I knew you were the one

Oh, I would be glad just to have a love like that
Oh, I would be true and I'd spend my life with you

So meet me tonight
Just where the light shines from a window
And as I take your hand
Say that you'll be mine tonight

FUNNY HOW LOVE CAN BE
(John Carter/Ken Lewis)

There she goes with her nose in the air
Funny how love can be
Wonder why she pretends I'm not there
Funny how love can be, girl
Funny how love can be

There she is with that look in her eye
Hasn't got time for me
Does she know how it's making me cry?
Funny how love can be, girl
Funny how love can be

What a thing to happen
Left without a friend
What a thing to happen
Funny how true love can end

I can tell that she just doesn't care
How can I make her see?
I'm in love and it just isn't fair
Funny how love can be, girl
Funny how love can be

GIRL FROM IPANEMA
(Norman Gimbel/Antonio Carlos Jobin)

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah!"

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah!"

Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile, but she doesn't see

THE GIRL WHO SANG THE BLUES
(Clyde)

The band and I, we played from nine to five
It didn't pay much 'cause the place was just a dive
But then one night I saw her in the crowd
She asked if singing with the band would be allowed
It was just a week day night
So I said it would be all right
That's how I met the girl who sang the blues

She sang the blues like no-one has ever heard
And you could tell that she'd lived every word
The girl was something special, we could see
She sang her song of love and she looked at me
The girl could do no worng
So we let her sing all night long
That's how I met the girl who sang the blues

I still remember that fateful night
The man with the big cigar
He walked in the club right up to her, he said
"Hey girl - my name's Brian Epstein!"

The band and I still play from nine to five
Since that night, the music came alive
The girl still sings her songs to me, I know
But now she's singing 'em on the radio
It hurst to realize I'm just one of a million guys
In love with the girl, the girl who sang the blues

GOOD MORNING SUNRISE
(Wayne Erwin)

Good morning sunrise, where have you been?
I've waited for you, won't you be my friend?
Make all the shadows go away
Don't tell me I'm a fool for waiting up this way

Warm summer wind, who told you to blow that way?
I think I know you from some other sunny day
I recognize how you touch my face
Please tell me how I can fly through the air
See everything that you see
Maybe the sunrise will follow me round
Take us a trip, yes, my old friends and me, yes

Good morning sunrise, where have you been?
I've waited for you, won't you be my friend?
Make all the shadows disappear
Please tell me how I can fly through the air
See everything that you see
Maybe the sunrise will follow me round
Take us a trip, yes, my old friends and me, yes
