The Bushburys - Black Jack Raven 05:05
lyrics
buy track
BLACK JACK RAVEN Down amongst the dead men drinking at the bar Stumbled on a familiar face who said he’s travelled far Said he knew my brother I forget what was his game Long time in America Jack Raven was his name Reason could not doubt him and I took him at his word Often hear the stories many times you may have heard Gone to seek his fortune in the land of liberty But dreams are made for breaking he was penniless and free He travelled far like a shooting star and he burned with the brightest flame He travelled far like a shooting star Jack Raven was his name Alarm bells started ringing and his aim was not quite true Didn’t seem much like the man I thought that I once knew Acting kind of funny and it all seemed oh so strange The facts of his oh so many lives are somewhat rearranged He travelled far like a shooting star and he burned with the brightest flame He travelled far like a shooting star Jack Raven was his name Week had passed or maybe more when I heard the news Suicide they said its not a path that I would choose The mystery grows deeper his identity confused Must have been Jack Raven he was wearing Black Jack’s shoes

Starlight Road 03:30

STARLIGHT ROAD First I saw the sunrise it was on the Starlight Road Sea was blue and velvet and the air was hard and cold Rolling down to Castletown , going find me heart of Gold Silhouetted by the moonshine Riding on the Starlight Road When the Spell is Broken and the time is surely passed Far out on the water in a sky so big and vast Gonna drink my fill , lord yes I will savin’ all for when I’m old And I’m bottling up that moonshine riding on the starlight road

Rage Johnny Rage 06:14
lyrics

RAGE JOHNNY RAGE Johnny was a gambler He could deal a hand at cards With the quickfire slip of a mechanics grip He could steal the queen of Hearts Magician and a writer a poet and a thinker too His words are like the the shining path The things he says he’ll do Johnny was a stranger and he had a crazy dream Of a world outside your vision where no hunger and no greed No government and no politics No religion and no war No heaven and no hell these things we all keep fighting for Johnny had a revelation He dealt himself a lifelong plan and his words are full of vision for an ordinary man A boxer and a fighter Pulls no punches and he’s brave Gonna rage about the future of all man kind From the cradle to the grave We met out on long island “Tween the Devil and the Deep Blue sea I was just a travelling man Oh a wandering wild and free He and I’d go out drinking nights in downtown city bars and we’d talk about the world and he would rage As we travelled on the subway cars On the church steps after midnight Where the angels fall from grace We’d be drunk as Lords and ramblin’ on ‘bout the speed of the human race He’d say your life is for the living boy “you’ve got seventy years or more” Gotta seize the day and realize What you’ve been put here for. We’re the nuclear generation , we’re all veterans of cold war Of oh so comforting newspeak, of a military metaphor We are the peoples revolution the enemy from within And the worlds a sinking ship in a storm, I’m a passenger and I can’t swim So be a boxer and a fighter, pull no punches and be brave And rage about the future of all man kind From the cradle to the grave.

A world away from here 03:31
lyrics

A WORLD AWAY FROM HERE In a different time and a different place This world would wear a more human face I could disappear without no trace To a world away from here Where no tanks no guns no bombs no fight every day is shining bright And the weak are strong and might ain’t right In a world away from here Away from the heart and all your sadness Away from the sound of all this madness That’s where I’ll be after the storm That’s where I’ll be after the dawn In a world away from here Well its not for me but for you my friend For this man will break and the world will bend No death defying leap for to make amends In a world away from here

River Street 04:53
lyrics

RIVER STREET Must be some part of this God’s great plane All these things that I don’t understand Some kind of sweet mystery The earth and the sky and the air that I breathe Heaven stood for when I was a child Summer days and we spent running wild Finally it will come to pass Looking down on your heart at last Down on River Street Down on River Street All those songs they play on the radio All those things that we may never know Like ghosts of the past they haunt your mind Make some kind of sense and you will find All got a place at the heart of it all Where we sometimes stand and we sometimes fall Into the arms of a love and a hope That is this big old world that keeps crying out now Down on River Street Down on River Street

Beautiful World 03:41
lyrics

BEAUTIFUL WORLD I was born on a Saturday morning and the time was a half past three The Beatles were playing on the radio Was my very first memory Growing up was that every Sunday There’d be me and my family In some two up two down in a heartache town In nineteen sixty three , sixty three My father was the son of a poor man Working hard for his misery And my mother was a child of the sixties And when finally she broke free Flying high at the height of the space race Giant steps on a small TV Looking back on this planet in wonder now In the nineteen seventies Its a beautiful world Was the first of a lost generation Bleeding hearts and stone cold wars And the tears of your quiet revelutions Raining down on my prison walls what is one mans joy but another mans heartache Aint that the way its gonna be But we’re all afloat in a great big giant boat Like a great big family Its a beautiful world Such a beautiful world At times so sad drives me mad In this beautiful world
