La Belle Dame sans Merci
Lyrics: What can ail thee, knight-at-arms Alone and palely loitering? The sedge has withered from the lake And no birds sing What can ail thee, knight-at-arms So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel’s granary is full And the harvest’s done See the lily on the brow With anguish moist and fever-dew And on thy cheeks a fading rose Fast withereth too I met a lady in the meads Full beautiful, a fairy’s child Her hair was long, her foot was light And her eyes they were wild Set her on my pacing steed Nothing else saw all day long For sidelong would she bend And sing a fairy’s song I made a garland for her head And bracelets too, and fragrant zone She looked at me and she did love And made a sweet moan She found me roots of relish sweet And honey wild, and manna-dew And sure in language strange she said “I love thee true.” She took me to her Elfin grot And there she wept and sighed full sore And there I shut her wild, wild eyes With kisses four And there she lulled me fast asleep And there I dreamed, ah, woe betide The strangest dream I ever dreamed On the cold hillside I saw pale kings and princes too Pale warriors, death-pale were all They cried: “La Belle Dame sans Merci Hath thee in thrall!” I saw their starved lips in gloam With horrid warning gaped wide And I awoke and found me here On the cold hillside And this is why I sojourn here Alone and palely loitering The sedge is withered from the lake And no birds sing

Epitaph
Don’t Fear the Reaper
Lyrics: [Verse 1: Buck Dharma] All our times have come Here, but now they’re gone Seasons don’t fear the Reaper Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain (We can be like they are) Come on, baby (Don’t fear the Reaper) Baby, take my hand (Don’t fear the Reaper) We’ll be able to fly (Don’t fear the Reaper) Baby, I’m your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2: Buck Dharma] Valentine is done Here, but now they’re gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women everyday (Like Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women everyday (Redefine happiness) Another 40,000 coming everyday [Chorus: Buck Dharma] (We can be like they are) Come on, baby (Don’t fear the Reaper) Baby, take my hand (Don’t fear the Reaper) We’ll be able to fly (Don’t fear the Reaper) Baby, I’m your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3: Buck Dharma] Love of two is one Here, but now they’re gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn’t go on The door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew and then disappeared The curtains flew and then he appeared [Outro: Buck Dharma] (Saying, “don’t be afraid”) Come on, baby (And she had no fear) And she ran to him (Then they started to fly) They looked backward and said goodbye (She had become like they are) She had taken his hand (She had become like they are) Come on, baby (Don’t fear the Reaper)
The Morning After
Jabberwocky
Lyrics: [Chorus] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la [Verse 1] ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch Beware the Juju bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” [Chorus] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la [Verse 2] He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree Stood awhile in thought And, as in uffish thought he stood The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame Came whiffling through the tulgey wood And burbled as it came! [Bridge] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh [Verse 3] One two! One two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back [Instrumental] [Verse 4] “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy [Outro] La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Yaa-yaa-yaa-yaa) Callooh, callay! O frabjous day! La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Yaa-yaa-yaa-yaa) Callooh, callay! O frabjous day!
