Born to Sing: No Plan B

Van Morrison Born to Sing: No Plan B歌詞
1.Open the Door (To Your Heart)

Open the door to your heart
Open the door to your soul
Get back in the flow
Open the door to your heart

Money doesn't make you fulfilled
Money's just to pay the bills
It's need not greed
Open the door to your heart

You've got eyes to see
And ears to hear
Then why don't you quit
Crying in your beer my dear

If nobody gets what they want
Tell me what's the use in that
Everybody just get's fat
Open the door to your heart

Backbiters always make mistakes
If you want to get an even break
Think of everything that's at stake
Open the door to your heart

Don't you think I know who my enemies are
Their slip is showing and the door is ajar
Well this time they pushed me too far
Open the door to your heart

If you've got eyes to see
And ears to hear
You better quit, quit
Crying in your beer my dear

If you can't hear the song you're wrong
I've been around too long
Just listen to the words that's all
Open the door to your heart
Open the door to your heart
Open the door to your soul
Got to get back in the flow
Open the door to your heart

Come on
Yeah, yeah, open the door to your heart
Open the door to your soul
Get back in the flow
Open the door to your heart

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

Open the door to your heart
Open the door to your soul
Got to get back in the flow now
Open the door to your heart

Come on, come on, come on, come on come on

Da, da-da, da da, da da-da da da

Open the door to your heart
Yeah, yeah


2.Going Down to Monte Carlo

Goin' down to Monte Carlo about 25k from Nice
Goin' down to Monte Carlo about 25k from Nice
Got to get myself together, gotta get my head some peace

Sartre said that hell is other people, I believe that most of
them are
Sartre said hell is other people, I believe that most of them
are
Well their pettiness amazes me, even after I've gone this far

Goin' down to Monte Carlo, 25k from Nice
Goin' down to Monte Carlo 'bout 25k from Nice
Gotta get my head together, gotta get my head some peace

Playing in the background some kind of phony pseudo jazz
Playing in the background in the restaurant, some kind of phony
pseudo jazz
I don't care I'm trying to get away from people, that are trying
to drive me mad

After everything I've worked for, not goin' to throw everything
away
After everything I worked so hard for, I'm not goin' to give it
all away
I just need to take a raincheck, I can't live to fight another
day

Goin' down to Monte Carlo, 25k from Nice
Goin' down, goin' down to Monte Carlo, still about 25k from Nice
Got to get my head showered, got to find some release


3.Born to Sing

Man can be king
Seems to have everything
But it comes with a sting
When you were born to sing

Reason doesn't walk in
It's not done on a whim
Passion's everything
When you were born to sing

Feeling good
Singing the blues
It ain't easy
Keep on paying dues

When it gets to the part
Well let's not stop and start
Deep down in your heart
You know you were born to sing

When you came in
No original sin
You were a king
Because you were born to sing

Reason doesn't walk in
It's not done on a whim
Passion's everything
When you were born to sing

Lord, feeling good
Singing the blues
Keep on keeping on
Paying them dues

When it comes to the part
Well let's not stop and start
Deep down in your heart
Baby you were born to sing

When it gets to the part
When the band starts to swing
Then you know everything
'cause you were born to sing

When it gets to the part
When the band starts to swing
Then you know everything
'cause you were born to sing


4.End of the Rainbow

No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
No social ladder to climb around here
No panhandlers going to stake any claim here
Goldmine is not what it's worth, know the score

No carpetbaggers, come in and take it
That just doesn't exist anymore
Rugs and the furniture just can't be lifted
Everything now has got to be nailed to the floor

So much for capitalism, so much for materialism
Every penny now has got to be earned
Everyone has got to be here at the coalface
Taking coals to newcastle, you're going to get burned

No gravy train that stops at your station
Every penny has got to be earned
Everyone now has got to be at the coalface
Try taking coals to newcastle, you're going to get burned

No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
No social ladder to climb anymore
No panhandler can stake a claim here
Goldmine is not what it's worth, know the score

No carpetbaggers, come in and take it
It's not there for the taking no more
Rugs and the furniture cannot be lifted
Everything has got to be nailed to the floor

No pot of gold, end of the rainbow
No pot of gold, end of the rainbow no more
End of the rainbow no more
No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
No social ladder to climb anymore
No pot of gold, end of the rainbow
No social ladder to climb
Know the score
Know the score


5.Close Enough for Jazz


6.Mystic of the East

Mystic of the east, mystic from the streets
Mystic with no brief, back here on the street
Mystic out of reach, can't find no reason to speak
I just got in too deep for the mystic of the east

I was deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart

Mystic with no peace, back here in the east
Fed up to the teeth, mystic of the east

I was deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart

Mystic out of reach, can't seem to find my brief
Gone with the wild geese and I've had it up to the teeth
Mystic of the east, back here on the streets
Mystic with no brief, I can't find any reason to speak

Mystic of the east, east, east, east
Back here on the street, back on the street
Back on the street, mystic of the east
Back here on the street, mystic of the east


7.Retreat and View

From my retreat and view
Make my own break through
And I might see things new
From my retreat and view

There's visions to behold
Treasures to unfold
Home away from home
From my retreat and view

Well the higher you go
The more that you know you can find
Like a memory that's there
Stuck in the back of your mind

There's bargains of the soul
Dreams that do unfold
Now I know it's true
From my retreat and view

There's bargains of the soul
Treasures to behold
Some time to start anew
From my retreat and view

From my retreat and view
Got to make my own break through
So I can see things new
From my retreat and view

High up on the mountainside
From my retreat and view
The place to satisfy
From my retreat and view

From my retreat and view
Got to make my own break through
So I can see things new
From my retreat and view


8.If in Money We Trust

If in money we trust
If in money we trust
And you bite the dust
And it's not enough

If in money you trust
But it's not enough
And you bite the dust
If in money you trust

Where's god?
Where's god?
Where's god?
Where's god?

If in money we trust
If in money we trust
No substitute
No substitute
No substitute

When god is dead
And it's not enough
Then in money you trust
Then they call the bluff

When god is dead
And money's not enough
In what do you trust
When it's not enough?

Where's god?
Where's god?
Where's god?
Where's god?

When god is dead
And it's not enough
What substitute
What substitute
When god is dead
And it's not enough
When god is dead
And it's not enough

If in money you trust
If in money you trust
But it's not enough
Then you call the bluff

Where's god?
Where's god?
Where's god?
Where's god?

No substitute
No substitute
You've got to think it through again
You've got to think it through again
You've got to think it through again
You've got to think it through again

Got to think it through again
You got to think it through again
Got to think it through again
Got to think it through again


9.Pagan Heart

My pagan heart
My pagan soul
Got to move on to the crossroads
Got to go to the arcadian groves
Got to move to the crossroads
Down by the crossroads, crossroads

My pagan heart
My pagan soul
Got to go to the holy wood
When the sun is good, to the holy wood
You take it in, it's under your skin
It tastes like wine
In the evening time

Down by the crossroads
Down by the crossroads
My pagan heart
My pagan soul
Down, down, down, by
The arcadian groves
Down down down down
By arcadian groves

By the roads
By the roads
My pagan heart
My pagan soul
My pagan soul
I got to go down by the crossroads
The moon is rising
In the evening time
By the crossroads
Crossroads
My pagan heart
My pagan soul

Down down down down
Down by the arcadian grove
Down down down down
Down by the arcadian grove
Got to go down by the crossroads
Crossroads
My pagan heart
My pagan soul
My pagan heart
My pagan soul
Got to go down by the crossroads
Crossroads
Pagan heart
My pagan soul
Got to go down
To the crossroads

I look at the sun
I take it in
It's under my skin
Pagan heart
Pagan soul
Down by the crossroads
Down by the crossroads
Down by the crossroads
Pagan heart
Pagan soul
I've got to know
I got to know
Pagan heart
Pagan soul
By the crossroads

Put a spell on you
Down by the crossroads
Put a spell on you
Down by the crossroads
My pagan heart
My pagan soul
Pagan heart
Pagan soul
Put a spell on you
Down by the crossroads
When the moon was new
When the moon was new
Put a spell on you
Down by the crossroads


10.Educating Archie

You're a slave to the capitalist system
Which is ruled by the global elite
What happened to, the individual
What happened to, the working class white

They filled his head with so much propaganda
Entertainment on tv and all kinds of shite
What happened to the individual
When he gave up all of his rights

Tell you up is down and wrong is right
Nothing to hang your hat on, can't even get uptight

You're controlled by the media
Everything you say and do
What happened to, the individual
Tell me what happened to you
Tell you up is down, not able to fight
Keep you docile and complacent, can't even get uptight
Controlled by the media and you don't know what you can do
They took away your constitution you don't even know what
happened to you

Waffle is the language that they taught you, taught you to talk
But you can't even get any angle 'cause you forgot how. keep on
walking the walk

You're a slave to the capitalist system and it's controlled by
the global elite
Double dealing with the banks, behind your back, just can't
fight
