ALBUM title: Further Adventures Of (1978) TN-33
Total Duration: 42:54 (10 tracks)


@SONG: Rainfall (3:48)

Rainfall on rolling green
wavy lines and peacock sheen
rainfall on rolling green
prettiest world i've ever seen.

Faces and places in a highway land
beads strung on a silver strand
quick silver in a callused hand
never a place for the Son of Man.

Born under a rainbow sign
flash of wave in space and time
molten glass and hearts that shine
stone to gold in fire refined.


@SONG: A Montreal Song (4:06)

I turned on the TV war news
just to look and wonder why.
Thunder crashed and red flash-flowers
bloomed a nightmare in the sky.

So i went down to the cafe
just to string myself along.
On the way i found some riches --
played the jukebox, got this song.

While i sat there a ragged man came --
bummed a coffee, talked awhile.
Told me stories full of wonder --
left me laughing like a well-loved child.


@SONG: Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand (4:53)

I've got planets in my palm -- there's a red smear on the sky
a star has just exploded somewhere behind my eyes
in the dead of night the city seems to break down into tribes
you stare at too much concrete -- you forget the earth's alive.

Young men see visions and old men dream dreams
see them pluck bright pebbles out of circles in the stream
life's not always like they tell you in the fashion magazines
when i set eyes on wonders, i've got to wonder what they mean.

Outside in the starshine you can see beyond the wall
so take a look and tell me, can you hear those black holes call?
everything is thunder under the celestial waterfall
you get close enough to real things -- you don't need your self at all.


@SONG: Prenons la Mer (2:38)

Smoky afternoon light
got the sun stuck in my eye
it's shouting from the river
then it leaps back in the sky

Prenons la mer
sur les vagues solaires --
toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere.

This morning in the past
y'know i felt like broken glass
now i'm feeling all right
knife-sharp as a winter night

Prenons la mer...

J'ai reve que les abeilles
etaient des gouttes de sang du soleil
et au ciel des bombardiers
pechaient pour nos ames irisees

Prenons la mer...


@SONG: Red Ships Take Off In the Distance (5:15)
(Instrumental)


@SONG: Laughter (3:38)

A laugh for the way my life has gone
a laugh for the love of a friend
a laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world
the love that will never end
Ha Ha Ha...

Let's hear a laugh for the man of the world
who thinks he can make things work
tried to build the New Jerusalem
and ended up with New York
Ha Ha Ha...

A laugh for the sun redballing
through the thermal inversion haze
a laugh for the nuclear good-time boys
numbering all our days
Ha Ha Ha...

A laugh for the newsprint nightmare
a world that never was
where the questions are all "why"
and the answers are all "because"
Ha Ha Ha...

A laugh for the dogs barking at our heels
they don't know where we've been
a laugh for the dirty window pane
hiding the love within
Ha Ha Ha...

Tapping our feet to an ancient tune
a laugh for the time gone by
a laugh for me and Kitty in the delivery room
waiting for the child's first cry
Ha Ha Ha...

(Ottawa June 28/76)


@SONG: Bright Sky (4:01)

Geese come rushing on a river of wind
in the bright sky, bright sky

Wild music ripples like a wake behind
in the bright sky, bright sky

Go higher, go higher where the wind is all
in the bright sky, bright sky

Where the bullets get tired and fall
in the bright sky, bright sky

They fly out of vision taking part of my soul
in the bright sky, bright sky

Well, maybe together we can touch down whole
in the bright sky, bright sky

I never saw the colours in the northern dark
in the bright sky, bright sky

But there were all those people floating like Noah's Ark
in the bright sky, bright sky

And we all rush away on a river of wind
in the bright sky, bright sky

But if i live i'll be coming back again
in the bright sky, bright sky

(Fort Saint John YT. Sept 18 77)


@SONG: Feast Of Fools (6:42)

At the feast of fools
humour can sometimes be cruel
but under certain conditions
you have to forget the rules

At the feast of fools
everybody has a voice
nobody goes to the bottom
except by their own choice

It's time for the silent criers to be held in love
it's time for the ones who dig graves for them to get that final shove
it's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed even by the faceless kings of corporations
it's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize which turns out to be nothing.

At the feast of fools
outlaws can all come home
you can wear any disguise you want
but you'll be naked past the bone

At the feast of fools
people's hands weave light
there is a diamond wind
flowering in the darkest night

It's time for the silent criers to be held in love
it's time for the ones who dig graves for them to get that final shove
it's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed even by the faceless kings of corporations
it's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize which turns out to be (a big fat) nothing.

It's time for the singers of songs without hope to take a hard look and start from scratch again
It's time for these headlights racing against inescapable dark to be just forgotten
It's time for Harlequin to leap out of the future into the midst of a world of dancers
It's time for us all to stand hushed in the cathedral of silence waiting at the river's end.

(Burritt's Rapid Nov. 6/77)


@SONG: Can I Go With You (2:30)

When you ride out of the shining sky
to claim the ones who love you
Can i go with you
Can i go with you

When the angel shouts from the heart of the sun
and the living water flows down
Can i go with you
Can i go with you

When the earth and stars melt like ice in the spring
and a million voices sing praise
Can i go with you
Can i go with you

(Burritt's Rapid Dec. 9/76)


@SONG: Nanzen Ji (4:43)

Nanzen Ji
cooling wind
mind swept clean like arctic sand

white stone lake
crystal clear
i walk on the voices of nightingales

pine-framed space
tiger leaps
emerald tea reflects the Lord

(Morioka, Japan -- July '77)
