After The Goldrush
Sung by
Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming

Sayin’ something about a queen

There were peasants singin’ and drummers drumming

And the archer split the tree

There was a fanfare blowin’ to the sun

That was floating on the breeze

Look at mother nature on the run in the twentieth century

Look at mother nature on the run in the twentieth century

I was lyin’ in a burned-out basement

With a full moon in my eyes

I was hopin’ for a replacement

When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playin’ in my head

And I felt like I could fly

I was thinking about what a friend had said

I was hoping it was a lie

Thinking about what a friend had said

I was hoping it was a lie

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships lying

In the yellow haze of the sun

There were children crying and colors flying

All around the chosen ones

All in a dream, all in a dream

The loading had begun

Flying mother nature’s silver seed

To a new home in the sun

Flying mother nature’s silver seed

To a new home

Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)

Written by Don McLean

Performed by The Mona Lisa Twins

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer´s day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they´ll listen now

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they´ll listen now

For they could not love you

But still your love was true

And when no hope was left in sight

On that starry, starry night

You took your life, as lovers sometimes do

But I could´ve told you Vincent

This world was never meant for

One as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night

Portraits hung in empty halls

Frame-less heads on nameless walls

With eyes that watch the world and can´t forget

Like the strangers that you´ve met

The ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know

What you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they´re not listening still

Perhaps they never will
