A CASE OF YOU
by Joni Mitchell
Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as the northern star."
and I said, "Constantly in the darkness
where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cotton coaster
in the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
with your face sketched on it twice.
In my blood like holy wine
you taste so bitter and so sweet
well, I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid.
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
and she said, "Go to him, stay with him
but be prepared to bleed"
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
HONEY
A little dust never stopped me
now he liked my shoes I kept
them on. Sometimes I can hold my
tongue sometimes not when you
just skiptolou my darling and you
know what you're doin so don't even
You're just too used to my honey
now
you're just too used to my honey
and I think I could leave your
world if she was the better girl So
when we died I tried to bribe the
undertaker cause I'm not sure
what you're doing or the reasons
You're just too used to my honey
now
you're just too used to my honey
don't bother coming down I made
a friend of the western sky don't
bother coming down You always
like your babies tight
turn back one last time love to
watch those cowboys ride but
cowboys know that cowgirls ride on
the Indian side
and you know what you're doing
don't even
DAISY DEAD PETALS
daisy dead petals
that is her name
she's in her phone booth phase, so
underneath the shade of a peppermint tray,
she can turn it out with a heal on she just rides into town
knowing what they'll say, knowing they're around the corner.
Got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.
daisy dead petals, that is her name.
so maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well
these dead petals, honey, brought me here.
she said, "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."
dancing on a dime, hearing mother cry,
maybe she's around the corner.
got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.
on my back with, on my back with some dirty dishes.
falling down, falling down, all over the river.
falling down, falling down, falling down.
wish what i'm feeling could go on like this forever.
falling down falling down falling down.
and since we're down might as well stay,
might as well fry some eggs
and wave to the shade of the peppermint tray.
she's a new friend not a skeleton to ride into town.
knowing what they'll say, knowing she tastes like a hamburger
maid, but
"these dead petals, honey, brought me here."
she said, "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."
SISTER JANET
Master Shamen I have come
with my dolly from the shadow side
with a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
All the angels all the wizards black and white
are lighting candles in our hands
can you feel them touching hands before our eyes
and I can even see sweet Maryanne
Sister Janet you have come
from the woman clothed with the sun
your veil is quietly becoming none
call the Wanderer he has gone
and all those up there are making it look so easy
with your perfect wings
a wing can cover all sorts of things
SUGAR
Don't say morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take 25 minutes
out of the record books.
Sugar
He brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
and hammers, he used one on me.
Cold war with little boys
Get in with a bubble gum trade...
And...
Sugar
Bring me sugar
And all the robins bring
Bring me many things but...
Sugar
He brings me sugar
As far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
And you know, and I know
I don't know me very well
And I know, and you know
if they found me out.
Sugar
He brings me sugar
And all the robins bring
They bring me many things but...
Sugar
He brings me sugar
And all the robins bring
They bring many things but...
Sugar
Oh, sugar...
Sugar
Ah, Sugar
Sugar..
You...
Ah, ha...

TAKE TO THE SKY
This House is like Russia
With Eyes cold and grey
You got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair Red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
buried Deep in my heart yeah
but my priest says
You ain't savin no souls
My father says
You ain't makin any money
My Doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more Time
What you Don't Like
Let me hear it 1 more time then
have a seat while I
take to the sky
My heart is Like the Ocean
it gets in the way so
Close to touching freedom
then I hear the guards call my Name
if you don't like me just a little
Why Do you hang around
there she goes again
wearing those purple panties
there she goes again
wearing her heart
there she goes again Why do you
take it
UPSIDE DOWN
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down ?
Oh I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says
You been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother
But when you gonna stand on your own ?
I say the world is sick
You say "Tell me what that makes us darlin'"
You see, you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say "Baby what have you been smoking ?"
Well I dreamed, I dreamed...
I dreamed I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Oh yeah
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down ?
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word
It's the only thing we can seem to turn upside down
Well I found (found) the secret (secret) to life
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found (found) the secret (secret) to life
I found (found) the secret to life (secret of life)
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Is not okay
Oh, we turn and we turn our little blue world upside down
I said, don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down ?
Inside my head a voice
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says "Girl you're all the same
Still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers upside down"
FLYING DUTCHMAN
Hey kid, I've got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic book tattoo
And you'll never be anything
"What will you do with your life"
Oh, that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Duchman, are you out there?
Flying Duchman, are you out there?
Flying Duchman, are you out there?
Straight suits, they don't understand
She tried, that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast when she left
Even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Duchman, are you out there?
Flying Duchman, are you out there?
Flying Duchman
Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me
They can't be what they can't believe
They can't see what you see
Keep the boys spinning in their own little world
Time up and so we won't say a word
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Duchman, are you out there?
Flying Duchman, are you out there?
Flying Duchman
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Are you still out there ?
They can't They can't see They can't see they can't see
feel me what I've found out you know you know
you're jumping from a high jump
Are you still They can't see and Hide your love hide your love
out there ? I just move this So many know you know
mountain but them, oh they can't see
Cause they can't see
*The sequence at the end actually has three concurrent parts in the
middle, right and left of the stereo image, which is why it scans
a bit strangely written down
HERE IN MY HEAD
In my head I found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't, oh, dare, now.
But I find that I have, now, more
Then I ever wanted too
So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she had left
You there, you, all here in my head and
Running around and calling me come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow and
Open their petals again and again and you know that
Apple green ice cream can melt in your hands I can't so...
I, I held your hand at the fair and
Even forgot what time it was
And even Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor,
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt and the girl from the south all
Fav'rite of mine you know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles that makes it all clear
makes it all...
Hey, do you know, hey, do you know, what this is doing to me?
Here in my head.
BLACK SWAN
Ride on, Ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, Ride on
Do you know where she's gone?
Gumdrops and Saturdays, did Eric call by the way?
He knew, he knew, and he knew where the pillow goes.
Ride on, Ride on, friends of the black swan
Ride on, Ride on you know where she's gone
Buttercups and fishing flies the biggest thickest ever sky.
I know they know something
I know, ah!
Ride on, Ride on, friends of the black swan.
Ride on, Ride on you know where she's gone?
Little green men do O.K.
It's the faerie's revenge they say,
And gumdrops and Saturdays, did Eric call by the way?
Mm, la la, ride on, ride on, ride on.
