From "Forced to Breed in Captivity"

Well I got me a fiddle and a jug of wine

Brandy - o

I got me a fiddle and a jug of wine

The fiddle's all broke but the jug works fine

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Aye, tonight and evermore

And when the morning sun comes out

Brandy-o

When the morning sun comes out

I start pushing the jug about

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Aye, tonight and evermore

Well I settled down with a young gal once

Brandy-o

I settled down with a young gal once

But the hares still run when the dead dog hunts

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Aye, tonight and evermore

Well I had the devil in me boots

Brandy-o

I had the devil in me boots

Id take her love but Id plant no roots

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Ah, tonight and evermore

Well she took flight when shed had her fill

Brandy-o

She took flight when shed had her fill

And if she knew best shed be running still

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Aye, tonight and evermore

My thoughts of her are all but dead

Brandy-o

My thoughts of her are all but dead

They ought to build gravestones on me head

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Aye, tonight and evermore

So up, me boys, and hoist a dram

Brandy-o

Up, me boys, and hoist a dram

Cause the women win if we give a damn

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Aye, tonight and evermore

Here's a health to the lads got left behind

Brandy-o

A health to the lads got left behind

For love's as mean as an empty pint

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Aye, tonight and evermore

Well Ive got me a heart and a jug of wine

Brandy-o

Ive got me a heart and a jug of wine

The heart's all broke but the jug works fine

And aye, tonight the rafters roar

Aye, tonight and evermore

Tikun Olam

Fixer:

Have you ever lost your place in time,

Anja:

Or forgotten where you put tomorrow

King:

Does your sun set still within it's prime

All three:

Then arise, vision in hand,

And take the bull by the brand.

The world is yours to command once you know...

ENSEMBLE:

Every potter needs to have his clay.

Every compass needs to have its needle.

And the smallest lighthouse has its bay,

But the paint can't be applied

Without the numbers to guide

Salvation's to decide which star to heed.

Tikun olam

We're marching feet without a drum.

Help us to overcome

To fix this world up!

Tikun olam

The whole is greater than the sum

Hand in hand we shall become

Fixers of the world!

Have you ever lost your place in time,

Or forgotten where you put tomorrow

Does your sun set still within it's prime

Then arise, vision in hand,

And take the bull by the brand.

The world is yours to command once you know...

Tikun olam

We're marching feet without a drum.

Help us to overcome

To fix this world up!

Tikun olam

The whole is greater than the sum

Hand in hand we shall become

Fixers of the world!

Tikeyah!

I love you!

'Cause 'cause 'cause there's just one of you.

Yeah shevarim and t'ruah come in threes and nines

But there's just one of you and you're just so fine

They can toot all they want baby I don't care

'Cause there's just one of you and they'll never compare to

Tikeyah!

I want to be near you!

Just once a year, you know, is not enough for me to hear you.

You know I wanna,

Hear you one last time because their gonna

Put you away until Rosh Hashannah.

From "Jupiter the Balloon Horse"

There there

That's what I'll say

As I stroke your hair

In a comforting way

It's almost as comforting as when I say

There there there

Hear hear

I do declare

That that thing you said

Is righteous and fair

Give me some skin

I'm into anything you have to share

Put her there there there

There there

Soon we'll be dead

But I show I care

By patting your head

There there there

Come all ye malcontents

Bring me thy paramount laments

Come all ye malcontents

Bring me thy paramount laments
