todd rundgren - a dream goes on forever
A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
I'm left standing here, I've got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream
A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by
But the time has stopped in my dream
We all have our everyday hopes and fears
And you'll find no exception in me
But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears
Over life's biggest tragedy
You're so long ago and so far away
But my dream lives on forever
I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
For without it there is no dream
You're so far away and so long ago
But my dream lives on forever
And how much I loved you you'll never know
'Til you join me within my dream
And how much I loved you you'll never know
'Til you join me within my dream
todd rundgren - a long time, a long way to go
It's a long time and a long way to go
What was once mine isn't mine anymore
All my fears you would not find me
All behind me
It's a long way and a long time to come
When our hearts stray and the troubles begun
I'll forget it if you make me
Please just take me if you will
I know that if you will
Nothing you can say could block my way
Nothing you can do to make me not want you
And love you for a long time
It's a long time and a long way to go
But in my mind there is one thing I know
For as long as we're together
Love forever
todd rundgren - afterlife
They say I don't think enough
about the afterlife
of what's below and above
it's all in black and white
they say there's only one kind of love
you have to choose just right
they say there's ony one kind of love
In the afterlife
kiss it all goodbye
in the afterlife
you don't get another try
But I can't see, I don't know how
that I won't be what I am now, no
even in my afterlife
and I won't have some other heart
that could find peace though we're apart, no
even in my afterlife
It's not enough anymore
to be good in this life
they say you've got to be sure
so you can sleep at night
the only love that endures
gives up without a fight
the only love that endures
In the afterlife
kiss it all goodbye
in the afterlife
it was just a clever lie
If I could never see your face
then I would have to fall from grace, I know
even in my afterlife
or for eternity be blind
to your presence in my mind, no
even in my afterlife
And they could promise me a seat
at the right side of the throne
but all would still be incomplete
within the holy host, alone
without the guiding light so sweet
that has forever led me on
for me there's no eternal rest
you and I have unfinished business
yes, yes
Even in my afterlife
If I could still hold one thought clear
then you will instantly appear, I know
Even in my afterlife
But I can't see, I don't know how
that I won't be what I am now, no
even in my afterlife
and I won't have some other heart
that could find peace though we're apart, no
even in my afterlife
For I could not repose in bliss
nevermore to know your kiss
no, no
todd rundgren - all the children sing
See Ms. Malone
She spends another quiet evening alone
Sits in her study and stares at the phone
And a bell in her head will ring
All the children sing
All the dancers start to sway in time
The orchestra begins to play
Somebody pours the wine
The sun and moon collide
Isn't gravity a funny thing
The universe explodes apart
All the children sing
Of Mr. Malloy
He's always seen himself as one of the boys
He thinks that men are tough and women are toys
But a bell in his head will ring
All the children sing
All the birds are chirping harmony
The scent of love is in the air
Sunset on the sea
The angel of the Lord
Just declared we aren't worth a thing
The galaxy is null and void
All the children sing
Crawled across a thousand miles of desert sand
Looking from an answer from a holy man
And this is what he told me with a wave of his hand
He said, "A bell in your head will ring"
Here's to the Chinaman, wise and old
Here's to the Eskimo, brave and cold
Here's to the Jew in the holy land
Here's to the Arab in his caravan
Here's to the African, strong and proud
Here's to the Redneck, good and loud
Here's one to you and there's one more thing
A bell in your head will ring
todd rundgren - an elpee s worth of toons
Who's that on the racks again?
A portrait of a crazy man
Trying to make a living off an elpee's worth of toons
A picture of a soul in pain
Trying to change the world with an elpee's worth of toons
There's something at the heart of it that's simply awful
A man who makes a living off a plastic waffle
Sweat is forming on my brow
Not a thing can help me now
My life is on the line for an elpee's worth of toons
I can see the write-ups now
The multitudes are crying for an elpee's worth of toons
A man would simply have to be as mad as a hatter
To try to change the world with a plastic platter
What's your problem, sonny?
What's your problem, son?
I want to be loved
todd rundgren - attitude
Kid's kind of dirty and a light on you
But talk, talk, talk is all you can do
You want to know how to play a game of show and tell
But you're just not getting off on yourself
When you got to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
You got to get off on yourself
And give them that attitude
You got shrink wrap rap and a prefab smile
Too much substance, not enough style
You got your new age voodoo, but that won't help
'Cause you're just not getting off on yourself
When you got to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
So you got to get off on yourself
And give it the attitude
Now that you're OK and I'm OK
Decide to have it out or to get away
If I didn't believe every word I say
I wouldn't be the man that I am today
It ain't no secret, it don't take money
So give it to yourself, in a way it's funny
Just try to do right, and it comes right through
Don't care about the don'ts and do's
If you want to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
You got to get off on yourself, stay up on yourself
Get yourself an attitude
It's the way you walk and the way you talk
And the way you do everything you do
You got the attitude
todd rundgren - baby let s swing
Laura, I saw you open in LA
There's something I gotta say
Laura, you know it's really been such a long, long time
And you know Laura, I knew you'd make it good someday
And you knew it anyway
Laura, I know that maybe this is the wrong, wrong time
But Laura where did that magic go
It's so hard, it's so cold down here
Did you have to leave me behind?
I wish that I could make it
But how I love to shuffle (how I love to shuffle)
Baby let's swing
Now I love to shuffle
Ever since I heard you sing (since I heard her sing)
Laura, I saw you in that magazine
You looked like a gypsy queen
Laura, I beat around the bush 'cause it's oh so hard
But you know Laura, it's not the best it's ever been
I think you know what I mean
I wish you'd take a look in your own back yard
To see that someone has seen it all
Seen you climb, seen you fall so low
If you have to leave it behind
I'll carry it on for ya, 'cause it's oh so hard
Baby let's swing
Now I love to shuffle
Ever since I heard you sing
todd rundgren - bag lady
Like a fly batters itself against a window
Time and again and again it senselessly blunders
Up and down the length of West Broadway
the bag lady wanders
Fifty cents rent goes pretty far
when you live in a subway car
One stop's the same as another
Even Son of Sam sees her sleeping,
she's not worth the bother
Sorrow, do they ever want to cry
Do they see us pass by
Where do they come from (simple answers)
Do they come falling,
falling from the sky like rain
Crawling up the basement drain
Misfits and black sheep
Former brothers, friends of mothers
There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow
There is only now and that hardly matters
No one cares about sad old ladies
with bags full of tatters
One day it gets a bit too cold
Maybe a little too wet, maybe a little too lonely
Lifelessly she lies amidst her bag world
But maybe she's only sleeping
todd rundgren - bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't want no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got
Blisters on my hand
Because...
When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with ny hands
But my licks were so hot
I made the teacher want to dance
And that's why...
Listen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
the boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And i pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
Because..
I CAN BANG ON THAT DRUM
HEY, YOU WANT TO A BANG AT IT?
i CAN DO THIS ALL DAY
todd rundgren - bang on the ukelele daily
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got
Blisters on my hand because
When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
And that's why
Listen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
Because
I can bang that drum
Hey, you wanna take a bang at it?
I can do this all day
todd rundgren - be nice to me
No catch, no strings
None of the usual things
I'm happy just to lay and look
Let's throw out the book
Now we're off the hook
And please just be nice to me
Won't you be nice to me
So tired, so sad
So sick of being had
By everyone who comes along
Would it be so wrong
If you played along
And please just be nice to me
And would it bring you down if I hang around
Just be nice to me
It's been a long, long lime since I felt so fine
And I know your love is fine
I know what's on your mind but
Don't laugh, don't, cry
Don't make me wonder why
You're doing what you're doing now
Can't you see somehow
It's the wrong time now
So please just be nice to me.
todd rundgren - believe in me
Please don't look at me that way,
I can hardly say what I have to say,
There is nothing that I haven't told to you
That I didn't believe you knew.
I am thinking of another time
I could feel you thinking that you were mine,
Now I hold out my hands 'til my arms get tired
And you wait on the other side.
You and me, we're both the same,
Don't let me take all the blame,
I promise that I will do all it takes to make up for my mistakes.
So, I'm trying hard to be the man
And it's not a hard thing to understand,
For I think that my being would cease to be
If you didn't believe in me, If you didn't believe in me.
todd rundgren - birthday carol
I was born this very morning
and my brother he was also born,
In our first nine months we learned to speak
and we have been listening since early morn.
I love no one but my brother
who spent those months with me
I hate no one and no other has so far hated me
But it isn't yet the afternoon,
and things are still to be,
And when evening comes we all will see.
I am not very old and I won't live long.
I was born this very morning singing this here song
Now I feel the worst for older people
winding out their friendless hours alone
Seeing lives like plays at final curtain
looking out to find everyone has gone home.
Is there something I can pray to?
Some offering I can send?
Or some ear that I can play to, to help him find a friend?
And maybe then redeem myself to keep me from that end
For the evening comes and who knows when.
Oh, my brother, where is our mother?
Is there no other to live together,
To be our lover?
todd rundgren - black and white
Stick to your guns
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Nobody knows the trouble this poor boy's seen
People will believe anything
Man on the run
Always gets it in the end
Nobody cares 'cause nobody shares his dream
People don't believe anything
Everything is changed
Everything is still the same
It's just a part of the game
Blood on the moon
Patterns running across the floor
A musical inside a movie inside a dream
Guess you can believe anything
Everything is changed
Everything is still the same
It's all a part of the game
Mama, Papa, boys, and girls
Holding hands around the world
Wrong is wrong and right is right
Nothing changes overnight
I'll believe it when I see it in black and white
Tell me the truth
Nobody leaves here alive
In the black core of doubt
trying to get out in the light
Sometimes you can't see anything
Everyone is changed
Everyone is still the same
They can't get out of the game
todd rundgren - black maria
Black Maria, you scare me so
I feel as though my heart stop dead
You're a liar, this I know
I watch you go around my head
Oh, I'm going down slow
You scare me so
Oh, you never let go
You scare me so
Gay deceiver, my eyes they burned
My insides turned, my brain it rolled
Unbeliever, but now I've learned
I took my turn, I come up cold
