And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night ... and God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night...and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. So - - - Bootleg. The theft of an original is a copy. The Moon is only the reflective light of the Sun. The Moon has no light of its own, it must "steal" its light from the Sun. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day

i think i love you
[Go to Song Page]
I think I love you
I've only known you for a couple-a hours
I think I love you
When you're near it’s like a room full of flowers
Oh yeah
We met last monday in the LA heat
In the downtown section on a one way street
A man with a bible dropped a tract at my feet
You know the rest, your way is always the best
I think I love you
You're the best thing that's happened to me
Yes you are [Spoken]
I think I love you
I used to wonder where you could be
I used to seek after truth and follow where it led
So many facts and philosophies inside my head
I've heard so many people telling me you was dead
I bet they all own a bible that's never been read
Mm-hmm-hmm
Woo-ooh-hoo-ooh
Woo hoo ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh hoo
All my life I've been wondering what I should do
Suddenly I stopped wondering
‘Cause I really found the answer when I fell in love with you
Wooh
I think I love you
I think I love you
And I know that you love me
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
And I know you first loved me
You're not dead, you're not even sick
Mmmm whoahahahah whoo whoa bapanba.....
I think I love you
I've only known you for a couple-a hours

walking backwards
[Go to Song Page]
??? two (walk) one two three [Spoken]
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last
But to reach the top I've got to stop from
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
People stop to watch me
They’re wondering what I'm doin'
What direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free
But actually I'm
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher, higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
??? two (walk) one two three [Spoken]
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last
But to reach the top I've got to stop from
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
People stop to watch me
They’re wondering what I'm doin'
What direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free
But actually I'm
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher, higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
ha ha world
[Go to Song Page]
Ha ha world
Every day I used to write you a letter
But you never wrote back
And you never made me feel any better
Always sat in here
Fretting and getting confused
Halfway desperate
For a headline of hope in the news
When the telephone rang
Well I spilled it all over my sweater
Ah ah
The call is for me
And I answer the phone in the kitchen
The room was too hot
I forgot I was cooking a chicken
It was burning like hell
But the stove wasn't on
And the voice on the line
Says the chicken is gone
The receiver goes dead and it
Hums while the plot starts to thicken
Oh oh yeah oh-oh-ah-ah
Would I have hung up the phone had I known
The whole room would start swaying
It was instantly cold
And I knew why my life wasn't paying
I had money and fame
But my wealth wasn't wise
What good are the coins on a dead man's eyes
And the ringing of chimes in my head
Said it's time to start (praying) praying
Yeah
Yeh yeh yeh yehyaoo
Badabadidandee-ah-na
I’ve been sitting here praying
And laying up treasures in heaven
I was home and the front door was locked
When the clock struck eleven
I heard the bride outside yell millennium
Though the sun was still up
The twelfth hour has come
(One, two) The bible says
(Three, four, five, six, seven) Without a vision the people perish (perish)
Shhh [Whispers something]
Ha ha world

i don't believe in miracles
[Go to Song Page]
I don't believe in miracles
I know what's real
I don't pretend, oh no
I don't believe in miracles
Or stories with a happy end
Life is no one's friend
But when we met I felt so free
And suddenly I felt a change come over me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
I don't believe in miracles
I've been around
I've seen enough, oh no
The only way to get along
You must be strong
You must be tough
Life is one big bluff
But then you opened up the door
And I walked right in and all my fears fell on the floor
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
Oh
But then you smiled and suddenly
I felt so strange, I felt a change come over me
Do you suppose
I don't believe in miracles
I know what's real
I don't pretend, oh no
I don't believe in miracles
Or stories with a happy end
Life is no one's friend
Ah-ah
But then you opened up the door
And I walked right in and all my fears fell on the floor
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
I don't believe in miracles
I know what's real
I don't pretend, oh no
I don't believe in miracles
Or stories with a happy end
Life is no one's friend
But when we met I felt so free
And suddenly I felt a change come over me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
I don't believe in miracles

I've seen enough, oh no
The only way to get along
You must be strong
You must be tough

Ah-ah
But then you opened up the door
And I walked right in and all my fears fell on the floor
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
the day that a child appeared
[Go to Song Page]
I was thinking just last Sunday
How the world confuses one day
With the rest throughout the year
And that one day is the day that a child appeared
Just a baby in a manger
But the room was filled with strangers
And a star hung in the sky
Oh like an angel
On the day that a child appeared
Little children please remember
Why we celebrate December
It's much more than Santa Claus
But you're right about the gift and tree
A gift of life at Calvary
Ooh I was thinking just last Sunday
How the world confuses one day
With the rest throughout the year
Mmm-hmm-mmm
And that day is the day that a child appeared
I was thinking just last Sunday
How the world confuses one day
With the rest throughout the year
And that one day is the day that a child appeared
Just a baby in a manger
But the room was filled with strangers
And a star hung in the sky
Oh like an angel
On the day that a child appeared
Little children please remember
Why we celebrate December
It's much more than Santa Claus
But you're right about the gift and tree
A gift of life at Calvary
Ooh I was thinking just last Sunday
How the world confuses one day
With the rest throughout the year
Mmm-hmm-mmm
And that day is the day that a child appeared
what goes through your mind
[Go to Song Page]
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
You think your life is hell
But you've learned to hide it well
But when you sleep at night
Does it all come back
And it’s you who's black inside
Oh who you trying to fool
When you play it cool
You know you have big doubts
Of what life's all about
And questions fill your head
Is God really dead
Is there life after we die
If you're trying to please the world
You're gonna be let down
And the sea of people don't care if you live
Or if you drown
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
The things you think you want
They only screw you up
You can be good or bad
Do what you want to do
And it’s up to you to decide
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Look for the truth and you'll find it girl
The truth's ahead, you're behind it girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
What goes through your mind [x4, very faintly]
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
You think your life is hell
But you've learned to hide it well
But when you sleep at night
Does it all come back
And it’s you who's black inside
Oh who you trying to fool
When you play it cool
You know you have big doubts
Of what life's all about
And questions fill your head
Is God really dead
Is there life after we die
If you're trying to please the world
You're gonna be let down
And the sea of people don't care if you live
Or if you drown

no change can attend
[Go to Song Page]
Every human tie may perish
Friend to friend unfaithful prove
Mothers cease their own to cherish
Heaven and earth at last remove
And the music world grows garish
While the moral codes regroup
But no change can attend Jehovah's love
No, no, no change can attend Jehovah's love
No change can attend Jehovah's love
No, you know no change can attend Jehovah's love
You know he loves me, he loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, loves me. he loves me
Every human tie may perish
Friend to friend unfaithful prove
Mothers cease their own to cherish
Heaven and earth at last remove
And the music world grows garish
While the moral codes regroup
But no change can attend Jehovah's love
No, no, no change can attend Jehovah's love
No change can attend Jehovah's love
No, you know no change can attend Jehovah's love
You know he loves me, he loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, he loves me, he loves me
Loves me, loves me. he loves me
one way
[Go to Song Page]
One way, one way to heaven
Hold your fingers high
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the sky
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard the poet say
I took the one less travelled by
And that’s made the difference
Every night and every day, I say
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
In my youth I knew the truth
But I spent many years just sitting on the wrong track
Now that I’m older I’m bolder
And it’s high time I should be getting back
And that’s a fact
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
There’s only one way to heaven
Look inside you
He will guide you
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
One way, one way to heaven
Hold your fingers high
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the sky
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard the poet say
I took the one less travelled by
And that’s made the difference
Every night and every day, I say
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
In my youth I knew the truth
But I spent many years just sitting on the wrong track
Now that I’m older I’m bolder
And it’s high time I should be getting back
And that’s a fact
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
There’s only one way to heaven
Look inside you
He will guide you
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hand
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
a song won't stop the world
[Go to Song Page]
This world's in trouble, you know it’s true
But who has the answers to help us get through
We look to our leaders, they politely yawn
The press gives coverage and the world goes on
This song won't stop the world from going round
‘Cause a song can't stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
The radio's blasting, the music's loud
A message is given to a face in the crowd
By a prophet of music, a poet of song
The truth is spoken and the world goes on
A song can’t stop the world from goin’ round
A song won’t stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
This world's in trouble, you know it’s true
But who has the answers to help us get through
We look to our leaders, they politely yawn

The truth is spoken and the world goes on
A song can’t stop the world from goin’ round
A song won’t stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you

How I love to dance [Spoken]
I had the rhythm of living in my shoes
Along come the rhythm and blues
The blues caught up and put me in a trance
And my shoes refused to dance dance dance dance wo oh oh
My life began to slip and slide
And I had no hope, no place to hide
I borrowed a gun, I had nothing to lose
I figured it's time to hang up my shoes
He came along that very day
He asked me why I walk this way
My soles half worn and my tongue hung about
And with a broken laces I'm tripping out, out
He said to me, get up and walk
And I said why don't we sit down and talk
He said how 'bout a new soul
I said huh, no chance, I'm gonna put these shoes in an ambulance
Be-u-bap, be-u-bap, woo
Ba-da-da ba-ba-ba-ba na-na-na-na ba-ba-oh
La-la-ba ra-pa-pa ba-ra-pa-ba–pa ba-pa-ba-pa
Woo-ah
Aah-ah-ah-ah-ah
How I love to dance
He reached right out and touched my toes
Everybody knows how the rest of the story goes
If you're steppin' through life then my appeal
Is to follow in his footsteps and get your soles reheeled
And if you wanna give your feet a treat
Then get ready to walk down that golden street
But be careful how you use your shoes
And don't waste your time on the rhythm and blues
Ow
He turns blue shoes white
He turns blue shoes white
He turns blue blue blue shoes white
He turns blue shoes white
Ba da ba ba ba
Ba da ba ba ba a-ha ah ha
Thank you [Spoken]

666 (the anti christ)
[Go to Song Page]
In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priest and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six
La la na, la la na, na na la, na na na
Na na na, na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na la, la na na, la la la
Na na na, na na na, na na na
We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us and nailed us to the door
Well I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eye
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six
If the band will play six sixty
If the band will play six sixty six
La la la [x18]

Filling the holes
Resting my mind
Growing my soul
Love is divine

i've searched all around
[Go to Song Page]
Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
I'm glad my faith is stronger
This world won't last much longer
I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase
Na na na na na na
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
This time you can't restrain me
Though in the past you've slain me
Maybe you think I'm wrong now
But this is my only song now
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase
Well I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
And I've opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
And I've sat in the shade of God and I’ve watched the joy increase
I said I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming

television interview
[Spoken]
[A song by Gentle Faith plays]
For every successful and familiar name recording Jesus rock there are five groups singing religious music anywhere they can. Groups with such names as "The Children of Light", "Sea of Galilee" or the "JC Power Outlet". The group here is called "Gentle Faith." They've given up their old ways for the Jesus Movement and they say their main contribution is their music.
[Gentle Faith song ends]
One young man, Larry Norman, gave up a successful recording career to devote his time and his talent to religion. Larry Norman still records and he still performs, but all for Jesus.
The reason I changed from rock 'n' roll music to Jesus music. It... rock 'n' roll music didn't make me happy, didn't, you know, validate any of my friends' happiness. It didn't make ’em happy. We're all looking for something to make, ah, us real, to bring something into focus. Music and art and drugs and all of those things just ended up being escapes. It didn't bring any truth that we could hold onto, so I, I found Jesus with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. That's what changed me concretely. The day that happened, that‘s when I left the group. We had a hit record. It was on its way toward a million seller and the album came out, and the day the album came out that’s when I left the group 'cause I had what I wanted, Jesus.
Were you religious before?
I was religious but I don't think Jesus is religion. People make up a religion about him. He's more than a religion.
How do you mean more?
He's real. Religion's not real. To me religion is all based on superstition and guilt an', and ritual. Jesus isn't.
Explain that to me.
Well I don't have to go to a church every day, I go to church in my heart. I don't have to, to kneel or, or bow. My spirit has been humbled and bowed. Ah, I'm not afraid of, of, of approval from the, the preachers or the, the members of the church. I just, I have to be right before God and I have to read my bible and ah, to, to stay informed on, on who man is and who God is.
You say Jesus is real. You're talking, I gather the philosophy that we know from the bible. That's, that's, that's real to you?
The philos.. , the whole bible is real to me. To me, it's all accurate. I didn't used to think that way. I was too intellectual. Now I find myself being, my mind is cleared up even more than when I thought I was intellectual. And it all makes sense.

One young man, Larry Norman, gave up a successful recording career to devote his time and his talent to religion. Larry Norman still records and he still performs, but all for Jesus.
The reason I changed from rock 'n' roll music to Jesus music. It... rock 'n' roll music didn't make me happy, didn't, you know, validate any of my friends' happiness. It didn't make ’em happy. We're all looking for something to make, ah, us real, to bring something into focus. Music and art and drugs and all of those things just ended up being escapes. It didn't bring any truth that we could hold onto, so I, I found Jesus with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. That's what changed me concretely. The day that happened, that‘s when I left the group. We had a hit record. It was on its way toward a million seller and the album came out, and the day the album came out that’s when I left the group 'cause I had what I wanted, Jesus.
Were you religious before?
I was religious but I don't think Jesus is religion. People make up a religion about him. He's more than a religion.
How do you mean more?
He's real. Religion's not real. To me religion is all based on superstition and guilt an', and ritual. Jesus isn't.
Explain that to me.
Well I don't have to go to a church every day, I go to church in my heart. I don't have to, to kneel or, or bow. My spirit has been humbled and bowed. Ah, I'm not afraid of, of, of approval from the, the preachers or the, the members of the church. I just, I have to be right before God and I have to read my bible and ah, to, to stay informed on, on who man is and who God is.
You say Jesus is real. You're talking, I gather the philosophy that we know from the bible. That's, that's, that's real to you?
The philos.. , the whole bible is real to me. To me, it's all accurate. I didn't used to think that way. I was too intellectual. Now I find myself being, my mind is cleared up even more than when I thought I was intellectual. And it all makes sense.
let the lions come (speech to russia for christ)
[Spoken]
We take a lot of things lightly in America. Like the bible, like baptism. Did you know that people in communist countries treasure their bibles? The bibles are so rare. They rip out pages and memorize them and exchange them with other believers. Memorize as much as they can. They put it in their hearts, God's words, because they can't always go to the shop an’ pick up God’s word.
And baptism really means something to them. Even in countries that aren't communist, like in India. To be baptized really means something. Over here we may accept Jesus and take two or three years to get baptized, but over there, when a person believes he wants to be baptized, it means something to him, and it really costs him too. Once a person is baptized in India, his family denounces him and will not have anything to do with him. The family considers him dead.
It's going to happen in the United States, the same thing that's happening in oppressed countries. A lot of our churches are going to be closed down and a lot of us are going to be arrested and killed. I know you can't believe it, but it's true.
There's a man named Watchman Nee, in China. You've read his books, haven't you? Some of you? Well, they put him in prison because he was con, you know, his work was converting so many people. And his books continued to come out although he was under lock and key, and they didn't know how he was still writing books. But it turned out that he had converted the guards and they were smuggling out his, his books. And so they killed the guards, and his books continued to come. He had converted the other guards. So they killed those guards. While not wishing to oppress christianity because that would make it grow up stronger. I mean you take a seed and lay it on top of upon the ground with no oppression and it’ll just lay there dormant, but you plant it in the ground and cover it up with dirt, you try to bury it, and it’ll grow. And the holy spirit's sure to water it.
Well not wishing to oppress christianity but not wishing to encourage it either, they didn’t kill Watchman Nee. But they cut off his arms. And his books still continued to come. You can't oppress God’s spirit. You can't lock it up. It will not stay locked up.
And I'm, I'm not particularly afraid of, of, of what's going to happen in the United States. I'm glad in a way because it's going to force a lot of people to make a choice and not be so casual. And when you don't have the church to go to, you’re going to wish you had fellowship. And those of you who are christians are really going to treasure your christianity more and it's going to mean something to you and it's going to work more for you because you’re going to commit yourself to it more. And you'll start tearing out pages from your bible. It's already happening here. It's already happening in very polite forms. Our money may say "In God we trust." It's already against the law to pray in school. And it's happening already right here. And maybe some of you have been persecuted in very polite ways. I have, and my sister has and her husband has. And my friends have been put in jail for preaching on the streets.
An' maybe it hasn't happened to you. You can, you cannot hold church in un-zoned area. And some of my friends have had their bible studies busted. And in some neighborhoods, the neighbors have gotten together and signed a paper saying they don't want those meetings in their neighborhood. I'm really glad there’s bible studies in houses. I'm really glad that every day is Sunday to a lot of kids now.
I'm not afraid of the Russians coming or the Chinese or the world council of churches if that's gonna be our enemies too. Let them come. I'm not afraid of the lions. Let ‘em eat me. They can't swallow my soul. They can't touch us. They can't get us. We've been bought with a price and nobody's got enough money or enough force to buy us back. They can't touch you. And when they come you just pray for them, and when they lead you away you just sing glory to God. And when they shoot you you just smile.

jesus and the movies
[Spoken]
It bothers me that in the movies they never show Jesus really, you know, the right way. Every movie I’ve seen he walks around like, you know, he's had his nails done or something. He never looks at anybody. He's always looking ahead of him you know. I guess he's reading the script card or something.
I saw one movie, it was like, you know, superstar cast. It, all the good actors were in it. You know, I doubt they read the bible but they all had their scripts memorized. Hmm, have you read the bible? No, but I’ve seen the movie.
All these people. John Wayne was a centurion in one of the movies. You know, this is the man who was in charge of a hundred soldiers. He stood at the foot of the cross and he, when Jesus died, in the bible it says that the man looked up and knew that this was God's son. So they picked John Wayne to play him. And hon, honest, I can just imagine the, the director, it comes John's time and they go [clicks tongue], alright, John, it’s rolling. Surely this was the son o' God.
Can you see a bunch of people sitting around the table at the last supper, you know, Cary Grant and ah, Walter Brennan? And Jesus says do this in remembrance of me and, and Walter Brennan is going hey beat it, beat it. Nice bread.

addressing the national youth workers convention
[Go to Song Page]
Ah ha-ah. Uh, this is, uh, I have to have it turned up louder if I’m going to sing rock and roll
Aow, ow, aw, ow. Who's in charge of the microphones? Uh, no, I can adjust it, I just want it louder [Spoken]
Now when you know a pretty story you don't let it go unsaid
You tell it to your children as you tuck them into bed
And when you know a wonderful secret
You tell it to your friends
Tell them that a life time filled with Jesus is like a street that never ends, alright
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let your laughter fill the air
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And tell the people everywhere
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
To every man and every nation
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let the people know that Jesus cares
And that's the way it goes. Those of you who have English backgrounds can appreciate the alliteration of sing that sweet sweet song of salvation. And this is a sing-along and those of you with lisps I don't really, uh. So if you'll sing this part [Spoken]
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation

Some, I know some of you have mnemonic devices that you've learned as you, you know, have taught, ah. Mnemonic means things, visual things or physical things that help you understand what's going on. Like sometimes a teacher will draw on the blackboard as he lectures to his class so that the pupils will visualize what’s going on or sometimes a teacher will take a ruler and hit one of the students. So if I get you physically involved I know your minds are, well, physically... Why don't we clap? I'll give you a pattern. This is rock and roll. Rock and roll as you know, if you're an adult, means repetitious. So that, that's why the words are the same all throughout the song. Now if I give you a pattern it will be, uh, it will have a beat you know. It’ll be, what is that word that man who thinks rock and roll's of the devil used, uh, syncopation. Syncopation. I don't use words like that. Syncopation. Well this is rock and roll so we'll syncopate it so you'll all know which side of the pearly gates it's on [Spoken]

I know you haven't, you know, paid the price of the convention here, and you don't have meal tickets but you’re welcome, to join in [Spoken]

Go away from here, get on a plane, go back home and do your thing
Be a leader
But don't set up followers
Don't call yourself a leader
Jesus is the leader
You're a follower too
You may be in front of some other people in line
But you’re not the leader, you're a follower
There are no leaders, rock and roll
There are no leaders but the Lord
Don't set yourself up as an example
Kids will look to you and say, oh, if I could only be as good as him
If they only knew

A man could be completely satisfied
He'd have no more fears
He'd shed no more tears
And have no more need to hide
You have saved me

God you know I love you
But I've been so bad, God
How can you love me
I can't see you huh, but I know you're there
And I can't touch you but I know you care
God, I love you and I just bought your book
I took it home and had a real long look
And this may not sound nice
But my favourite part is where you died for me
Woo-ooh
God, I love you, yes I do
I'm so happy, saved my life
I was messed up, I was honky jive
You know what I'm talking about
Got your spirit and now I feel so young
You have saved me, even gave me tongues
Jesus I'm so happy I just wish that all my friends would let you in
Oh yeah, mm-mm-hmm
Jesus, I'm so happy I just wish that all my friends would let you in
You can save me if you want to
Come and save me ‘cause I want you to
Come inside me, I will let you
I will let you wash away my sin
I sure am glad I met you
God you know I love you
But I've been so bad, God
How can you love me
I can't see you huh, but I know you're there
And I can't touch you but I know you care
God, I love you and I just bought your book
I took it home and had a real long look
And this may not sound nice
But my favourite part is where you died for me
Woo-ooh
God, I love you, yes I do
I'm so happy, saved my life
I was messed up, I was honky jive
You know what I'm talking about
Got your spirit and now I feel so young
You have saved me, even gave me tongues
Jesus I'm so happy I just wish that all my friends would let you in
Oh yeah, mm-mm-hmm
Jesus, I'm so happy I just wish that all my friends would let you in

He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
You will be afraid to tell your neighbours
They might think that it's not true
But when you open up the morning papers
You will know they've seen it too
He will come back like he promised
With the price already paid
He will call out for his followers
And take them all away
He's an unidentified flying object
He will sweep down from the sky
He's an unidentified flying object
Some will sleep, but will not die
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
And if there's life on other planets
Then I'm sure that he must know
And he's been there once already
And has died to save their souls
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows ‘til you can’t stand up
Take a look at what you’ve done to yourself
Why don’t you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He's got the answers
Gonorrhoea on valentine’s day (VD [Spoken very faintly])
If you’re still looking for the perfect lay
You think rock ’n’ roll will set you free
Honey, you’ll be deaf before you’re thirty three
Shooting junk until you’re half insane
Broken needle in your purple vein
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He's got the answers
You work all night, sleep all day
Take your money, throw it all away
You say you’re gonna be a superstar
But you've never hung around enough to find out who you really are
Now think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free and your heart ran wild
Each day was different, life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed, you’re much older now
If you’re unhappy and you don’t know how
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answers
Yea-ah
Ah-why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answers
I said now
Oh why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Yea-eah [Yawn-like]
Now take a look, take a look

song for a small circle of friends
[Go to Song Page]
My life is filled with songs
But I just couldn't get along without my friends
And I'm happy now but when this good life ends
I know a better one begins
And love to you sir Stonehill
Armed with your axe full gallop on your amp
Ah, you're so Randy and you show it
And I love you as we both crawl t'ward the lamp
Fred Bova on guitar
With Hilly on the drums
Glenn Selwitz on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs
Dear Roger watch the dollar hide (Ooh ooh)
And disappear while love inside keeps growing (Ooh ooh)
You're older but less colder (Ooh ooh)
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing (Ooh ooh)
And Jesus died for all you friends (Ooh ooh)
But even better yet he lives again (Ooh ooh)
And if words do not appeal to you (Ooh ooh)
I hope his spirit slips on through, he loves you (Ooh)
He loves you
He loves you
And if words do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through, he loves you

UK LP version, 1973
The UK release is identical to the US version, apart from the spoken introduction to Walking Backwards being removed, gaps between songs differing, and the entire album having a reversed stereo image. This is not noticeable on all songs, as some are mono anyway. Note that the original US LP has better sound quality - presumably the UK pressing suffers from generation loss through the tape copy used
walking backwards down the stairs

Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last
But to reach the top I've got to stop from
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
People stop to watch me
They’re wondering what I'm doin'
What direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free
But actually I'm
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher, higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs

Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last

US versions, 1973
The 1973 Sonríse cassette release for example differs from the original LP in two respects. Classical Mandolin is in one channel only rather than in both and Without Love You Are Nothing is several seconds longer, with additional lyrics

You can be a righteous rocker

You can be a brilliant surgeon
Or a sweet young virgin
Or a harlot out to sell
You can learn to play the blues
Or be Howard Hughes
Or the Scarlet Pimpernel

Or go from door to door with a death-knife
But without love you are nothing, without love

Or a baby stealer

US LP Reissue, 1990
This release differed from the earlier versions in several respects:
The two takes of He's Got The Whole World In His Hands from the special edition cassette are added at the start
A very small part of the spoken introduction to Walking Backwards is removed
Classical Mandolin is faulty, at least on some pressings - audio on left channel only, and there are several digital glitch sounds
Addressing The National Youth Workers Convention is shorter due to the applause at the end fading out much earlier
Without Love You Are Nothing fades has the longer fade out, but also seems to have more reverb
With A Love Like Yours has a botched fade out
Note that the stereo image is the same as the original US release

With a love like yours
A man could live in beauty and in grace
If I were a king I'd give everything
Just to see your face

And have no more need to hide
You have saved me

You have saved me from myself [x2]
Ah, you have saved me

what goes through your mind
[Go to Song Page]
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
You think your life is hell
But you've learned to hide it well
But when you sleep at night
Does it all come back
And it’s you who's black inside
Oh who you trying to fool
When you play it cool
You know you have big doubts
Of what life's all about
And questions fill your head
Is God really dead
Is there life after we die
If you're trying to please the world
You're gonna be let down
And the sea of people don't care if you live
Or if you drown
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
The things you think you want
They only screw you up
You can be good or bad
Do what you want to do
And it’s up to you to decide
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Look for the truth and you'll find it girl
The truth's ahead, you're behind it girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
What goes through your mind [x3, very faintly]

666 (the anti christ)
[Go to Song Page]
In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priest and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six

We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us and nailed us to the door
Well I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eye
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six
If the band will play six sixty
If the band will play six sixty six
La la la [x15]
In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priest and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six
La la na, la la na, na na la, na na na
Na na na, na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na la, la na na, la la la

taking my time
[Go to Song Page]
Ah
Taking my time
Filling the holes
Resting my mind
Growing my soul
Love is divine
And reading the scrolls
Is making me whole
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha [x3]
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha ha
Ah ha ha, ah ah ha
Ah ha, ah
Ah, ah
Ah
Taking my time
Filling the holes
Resting my mind
Growing my soul

Ah ha ha, ah ha ha [x3]

i've searched all around
Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
I'm glad my faith is stronger
This world won't last much longer
I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase
Na na na na na na
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
This time you can't restrain me
Though in the past you've slain me
Maybe you think I'm wrong now
But this is my only song now
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase
Well I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
And I've opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
And I've sat in the shade of God and I’ve watched the joy increase
I said I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Maybe you think I'm plastic

jesus and the movies
[Spoken]
Bothers me that in the movies they never show Jesus really, you know, the right way. Every movie I’ve seen he walks around like, you know, he's had his nails done or something. He never looks at anybody. He's always looking ahead of him you know. I guess he's reading the script card or something.
I saw one movie, it was like, you know, superstar cast. It, all the good actors were in it. You know, I doubt they read the bible but they all had their scripts memorized. Hmm, have you read the bible? No, but I’ve seen the movie.
All these people. John Wayne was a centurion in one of the movies. You know, this is the man who was in charge of a hundred soldiers. He stood at the foot of the cross and he, when Jesus died, in the bible it says that the man looked up and knew that this was God's son. So they picked John Wayne to play him. And hon, honest, I can just imagine the, the director, it comes John's time and they go [clicks tongue], alright, John, it’s rolling. Surely this was the son o' God.
Can you see a bunch of people sitting around the table at the last supper, you know, Cary Grant and ah, Walter Brennan? And Jesus says do this in remembrance of me and, and Walter Brennan is going hey beat it, beat it. Nice bread.

without love you are nothing
[Go to Song Page]
You can be a righteous rocker
Or a holy roller
You can be most anything
You can be a Leon Russell

You can be a corporate king
You can be a wealthy man from Texas
Or a witch with heavy hexes
But without love, you are nothing, without love
Without love you are nothing, without love
You can be a brilliant surgeon
Or a sweet young virgin
Or a harlot out to sell
You can learn to play the blues
Or be Howard Hughes
Or the Scarlet Pimpernel
You can be a French provincial midwife
Or go from door to door with a death-knife
But without love you are nothing, without love
Without love you are nothing, without love

You could be a woman feeler
Or a baby stealer
You can drink your life away
Or you can be a holy prophet
Get a blessing off it
You can fast for fifty days, hey
You can shake hands with the devil
Or give your life to God on the level
But without love you are nothing, without love
Without love you are nothing, without love

In 2001 Larry introduced a series called Illegal Noise, which was effectively Solid Rock bootlegging the bootleggers. Most Illegal Noise releases were not publicly advertised and were only available through the 'Hardkore Kollector's Klub'. These kollector releases came in 'red' and 'blue' versions, signified by the colour of the text 'Illegal Noise Series'. Copies exist with combinations of both colours - red disc with blue artwork and so on, and the artwork could differ in shade / contrast / printing quality
Thanks to Mike Rohlinger for providing the red cover and blue disc Illegal Noise images used below. All variants have a double sided insert

Red outlined title on the front cover, no text on the spine and US and UK addresses on the rear
Matrix, etched: Side 1: 'JC 4847-1' and 'L.34695', side 2: 'JC 4847-2' and 'L-34695', side 3: 'JC 4847-3' and 'L.34695', side 4: 'JC 4847 -4', 'Re 1/4/89' and 'L-34695'
Note that the tip-on artwork for this issue can be offset by more than 10mm, meaning that on some copies the front cover image wraps and extends well onto the rear. In extreme examples, the copyright detail at the bottom left side of the rear cover is partially cut off as a result
Note also that leftover sleeves or tip ons from one of the early US pressings was used for this re-issue

Identical to Boot-US15 apart from the absence of an obvious pressing ring on sides 2 and 4. Thanks to Robert Termorshuizen for advising the existence of this variant, and for providing images
