We were all going to be sailing, singing songs until we reached the coast It was silly to think our boat would never sink and pretty soon we’ll be a ship of ghosts I declared: “Land would be reached by night” as the S.S. Gypsy Queen came into sight Her cannon balls threw us off course, and the map was lost Now ever since we’re blind without a light We were all going to be big stars, headed for the California sun But now that time is on our side there’s nothing left to hide We might as well have a little fun
3.
Let me hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I’ll understand, be your man, yes I can Let me hold your hand, hold your hand I’ll understand, yes I can Let me hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I’ll understand, be your man, yes I can Let me hold your hand, hold your hand I’ll understand, yes I can.

On an evening such as this, it’s your smile that I miss And although the sun won’t shine, I can’t get you out of mind My mind But even if I had a car, I couldn’t get very far No more light and no more oil makes these cars as good as tinfoil And one can’t even go by night, no more stars to guide a flight And the compass needle spins for all of our greedy sins So it’s useless to ponder, as my thoughts begin to wonder Silly wishes are so cheap; I think I’ll just go to sleep Go to sleep
5.
When it’s all over, when the days through, I’ll be standing next to you 10 years later, will we survive? Or will we be stuck here, for the rest of our lives? When it’s all over, when the days through, I’ll be next to you. Her name was Ronnie but she changed it to Sue It doesn’t matter ‘cuz everyone she knew was taken away, far from here. I can’t run, I can’t hide, I can’t flee, I can’t fight, I can’t bleed, I can’t moan, I can’t call you on the phone Bombs in north, bombs in south, animals, hoof and mouth, ‘wanna be on my couch at my home, leave me alone. I can’t run, I can’t hide, I can’t flee, I can’t fight, I can’t bleed, I can’t moan, I can’t call you on the phone. All for one, none for all, fire is the best cure-all.
