1...CHARIOTS OF SILK... by Tyrannosaurus Rex
-----------------------.....................
(Original Key: )
The toad road licked my wheels like a sabre,
Winds of the marsh lightly blew.
Stonejars stacked with stars on her shoulders,
Hunters of pity she slew.
Chariots of Silk, she rode,
Stallions of gold, she owned.
A mad Mage with a maid on his eyebrows,
Hunteth the realm for a God.
Who could teach him the craft of decanting,
The glassy entrails of a frog.
Chariots of Silk, she rode,
Stallions of gold, she owned.
Chariots of Silk, she rode,
Stallions of gold, she owned.
The Bard of my birth with his ballet,
Walked the wild worlds in the chase.
For the black chested canary,
Who as a moose can sing bass.
Chariots of Silk, she rode,
Stallions of gold, she owned.
Chariots of Silk, she rode,
Stallions of gold, she owned.

3...THE SEAL OF SEASONS... by Tyrannosaurus Rex
--------------------------.....................
(Original Key: )
The seal of seasons moved with grace, love.
Upon the Orkney oceans face, love.
She swayed and swum just like a prancer,
A gypsy dancer, a salty shimmered shell of foam.
Out of the depths, she stood be-fore me.
One breath and shells grew on my nut tree.
She swayed and swum just like a prancer,
A gypsy dancer, a salty shimmered shell of foam.
Her night, it came and then she hooked her head.
Unto the fleeing sun and then she fled.
She swayed and swum just like a prancer,
A gypsy dancer, a salty shimmered shell of foam.
She swayed and swum just like a prancer,
A gypsy dancer, a salty shimmered shell of foam.

---------------------------.....................
Oh the throat of winter is u-pon us,
The barren barley fields refuse to sway.
Be-fore the Husky hag of early winter,
In her hoods of snowy grey.
Lo, the frozen blue birds in the belfries,
The bluebells in their hearts are surely prey?
Un-to the grasping bats-wing of the winter pincer;
Hoods of snowy grey.
Winter, winter, winter, are you but a servant of the bad one.....?
Oh the throat of winter is u-pon us,
The barren barley fields refuse to sway.
Be-fore the Husky hag of early winter,
In her hoods of snowy grey.
Winter, winter, winter, are you but a servant of the bad one.....?

Aah, ya ya yi-ya, la, ya ya ya, yit-a, yit-a, yit-aah.
Aah, ya ya yi-ya, la, ya ya ya, yit-a, yit-a, yit-aah.
Catblack, the wizard's hat, spun in lore from Dagamoor.
The skull of jade was pearl inlaid, the silks, skin spun, re-pelled the Sun.
A tusk of boar with dwarfish awe, sobs on the door where stood before;
A mountain man with sky-blue teeth, u-pon his head a python's wreath.
A deer he slew in the dawning's dew,
Her heart was a dagger for a murderer's brew.
Aah, ya ya yi-ya, la, ya ya ya, yit-a, yit-a, yit-aah.
Aah, ya ya yi-ya, la, ya ya ya, yit-a, yit-a, yit-aah.
A black toad of jet on a sill cast in brass,
Por-trayed for his sight mysteries of the past.
A yellow orphan dancer rich in Nature's costly gold,
Wept for the jailer of time to bless her old.
But his kiss, he held and shadowed, for the spell of nights are strong,
And spiralled like a whirlwind in the childhood of a song.
Aah, ya ya yi-ya, la, ya ya ya, yit-a, yit-a, yit-aah.
Aah, ya ya yi-ya, la, ya ya ya, yit-a, yit-a, yit-aah.
Catblack, the wizard's back,
Daubed in doom in his tounge tombed room.
We of the wind must re-joice and speak,
And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek.
(with Scatting):
Aah, ya ya yi-ya, la, ya ya ya, yit-a, yit-a, yit-aah.
Aah, ya ya yi-ya, la, ya ya ya, yit-a, yit-a, yit-aah.

Let's get some stones for Avalon, for Ava-lon.
Let's steal some stars for Avalon,
Let's steal some stars for Avalon, for Ava-lon.
Nobody sees what Avalon sees; nobody sees.

7...SHE WAS BORN TO BE MY UNICORN... by Tyrannosaurus Rex
------------------------------------.....................
(Original Key: )
She was born to be my Uni-corn.
Robed head of ferns, cat child tutored by the learned.
Darkly ghostish host, haggard vizier of the moats.
Seeks the sandled shores of Gods; baby of the moors.
The night-mare's mauve mashed mind, sights the visions of the blinds.
Shoreside stream of steam, cooking kings in cream of scream.
Jackdaw winter head, cleans his chalcedony bed.
A silken word of kind, was re-turned from Nijinsky Hind.
Giant of Inca hill, loosed his boar to gorely kill.
The dancing one-horned waife in doub-let of puffin-bill.
The beast in feast of sound, kittened lamb on God's ground.
Ridden by the born of horn, jigged like a muse on life's lawn.
She was born to be my Uni-corn.

8...LIKE A WHITE STAR... by Tyrannosaurus Rex
------------------------.....................
At the birth of the day, as a babe of the spray.
Like a white star, tangled and far, Tulip, that's what you are.
Warm and wise as a mute, in the thunderbolt suit.
Princely and torn, grasping the horn of the meanads of May.
Sleepy, dreaming of dark silver Satyrs in parks.
Statues that say, worship the day, for only humans you are.
Channels churning the grime, inky dreams of our time.
Into the Sun, where the white one, poems them into a rhyme.
On a hill, the clear shrill made the Titans most ill.
Angels a-bound and I kissing the ground, thrilled to be around.
Vineyards spangled with love, for the white dove above.
Green and lean from the waste of the pastures of chaste.
Preciously he is whole, twinkled eyes like a king,
Charted seas on your skin.
Like a white star, tangled and far;
Tulip, that's what you a -re, a -re, a -re.
Down down, dup a dippy dippy, down down, dup a dippy dippy,

9...WARLORD OF THE ROYAL CROCODILES... by Tyrannosaurus Rex
--------------------------------------.....................
(Original Key: )
Handsome as life, He's our Lord,
And we trust in him to move like the wind,
As our friend and guardian.
The elements and oceans congregate on his brow,
And he stalks in style like a royal crocodile.
You put him down, down, down, down, down,
You put him down, down, down, down, down.
His chariot legs are tree green and autumn brown,
His crown of dusk is a glimpse of things to be.
In palaces and temples near the dwellings of man,
If he can he'll smile, 'cos he's a royal crocodile.
You put him down, down, down, down, down,
You put him down, down, down, down, down.

--------------------------.....................
(Original Key: )
The evenings of Damask are fall-ing,
The youth of truth chest feeds a star-ling,
With his heart.
A chosen man begged by the way-side,
A horse came soon and died be-fore him,
And said eat.
The icy claws of earth are crawl-ing,
Upon my baby's brow and call-ing;
Please come home.
The boy un-like the man was smi-ling,
For gulleys, streams and hills would hide him,
Like a swan.
A vaga-bond; a weaver warri-or,
Produced a loom, a cheese and chop-per;
And said choose.
My sandled feet are fleet like wa-ter,
I kiss the limbs is Earthess daugh-ter;
A little tree.
La la la, laa.

----------------------.....................
(Original Key: )
The sea beasts scull the waters, feeling fear for thee.
The hawks that tamed the skies, wish you so well to be. A...
Foal in the fields, with the bless of the hills,
Your shore, and you're poor and your sore feetys,
Ne'er to be bore by man's claw.
The horned dog guarding grandly, daughters of the Sun.
At night in twilight groves, his pray for you is begun. You...
Foal in the fields, with the bless of the hills,
Your shore, and you're poor and your sore feetys,
Ne'er to be bore by man's claw.
The bull of gold, that's old, beyond the songs of man.
Keeps watch upon the fates, when they misweave your strand. Oh...
Foal in the fields, with the bless of the hills,
Your shore, and you're poor and your sore feetys,
Ne'er to be bore by man's claw.
UFO, UFO you are, UFO, UFO you are, UFO, UFO you are, a colt.

----------------.....................
A box of doves, I placed be-side your chest, liar.
A stork of silk, with rubies in it's nest, fire.
O-of my love, will burn thee to a wizened word, for 'ere to go unheard.
A mare of wood, elder, elm and oak, liar.
Will keep you fair, if you jest me no joke, fire.
O-of my love, will burn thee to a wizened word, for 'ere to go unheard.
You gashed the heart of my heart, like a Portu-gese.
Witch, I'd planned for you this land, but you devoured my hand.
I'm old and bruised, but my fate is that of youth, liar.
Trickster, you, be a grisly dragon's tooth, fire.
O-of my love, will burn thee to a wizened word, for 'ere to go unheard.

---------------------.....................
(Original Key: )
Nijinsky Hind,
Is a wisp of our world, through the heart's eye.
It's horns are white hide,
From the skin of our Lord, when his youth stood,
Wondrous and fair, like a sea...
Nijinsky Hind,
Is a remnant of Earth, as it once stood.
A likeness in flesh,
Of the magic contained in a pearl's shell.
Breathing it's breath, u-niquely...
Nijinsky Hind,
Was be-gotten from man's thoughts of kindness.
It's hoofs shod with gold,
Are the textures of Earth's distant future.
Gilded and tall like a hall...

Beauty things sing to me as a chorus.
As a flock, the wild seas sway before us.
Hail as a hand, is my mail.
The thrush is my love and the whale is a snail.
Sailors dance in a trance on the ocean.
Fairy lights in her eyes tame the water.
With the morn, we mount and ride.
Pilgrims of summer; the swift is our guide.
Dazzle dawn man, mouthed with a smile,
Caution cloud lord; stay for a while.
You make us smile.
Beauty things sing to me as a chorus.

Of the misty coast of Alba-ny, with its charm.

Womanly waiting for your manly friend.
A star 'bove the mire is her husbandly choice.
Locked in his tower by the enchanted voice.
Of the Starguard Rhina, with his lips soiled with gold.
He dares to loiter near our lady bold.
Once a heart was made and cast,
In molten love, but t'was in realms of the past.

Of the misty coast of Alba-ny, with its charm.
Pining pillar of the wild willows end,
Womanly waiting for your manly friend.
