Go
and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn It's time to
haul the anchor up and leave the land astern We'll be gone before
the dawn returns Like voices on the wind.
Go and tell Lord Grenville that our
dreams have run aground There's nothing here to keep us in this
shanty town None of us are caring where we're bound Like voices
on the wind
And come the day you'll hear them
saying "They're throwing it all away" Nothing more to
say Just throwing it all away
Go and fetch the captain's log and tear
the pages out We're on our way to nowhere now, can't bring the
helm about None of us are left in any doubt We won't be back
again
Send a message to the fleet, they'll
search for us in vain We won't be there among the reaches of the
Spanish Main Tell the ones we left home not to wait
We won't be back again. (Won't be
back again...)
And come the day you'll hear them
saying "They're throwing it all away" Nothing more to
say Just throwing it all away
Our time is just a point along a
line That runs forever with no end I never thought that we
would come to find Ourselves upon these rocks again Oh no...
Go and tell Lord Grenville that the
tide is on the turn

por Bob Dylan e Jaques Levy, fo gravada em 30 de julho de 1975 e
lançada em 5 de janeiro de 1976 no disco Desire. Também foi lançada
em compacto, com Oh Sister como Lado B em 17 de fevereiro de 1976.
Foi produzida por Don DeVito. Chegou ao número 54 do Billboard Hot
100. em 1976, depois de uma guerra de dez anos com Portugal, o país
Moçambique finalmente conseguiu sua independencia, em 25 de junho de
1975. Um mês antes da canção ser gravada, mais ou menos. Queriam
letras de apoio à independencia, no entando a letra de Mozambique
saiu apenas como sendo um lugar de sol, bom pra uma fuga romantica,
ao invés de falar sobre um lugar onde o povo vivia livre, essas
coisas. A crítica gostou da melodia, como esperado por parte desses
esquerdistas de merda e não gostaram da letra.
A
letra:
I
like to spend some time in Mozambique The sunny sky is aqua
blue And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek It's very nice
to stay a week or two And maybe fall in love, just me and you
There's lots of pretty girls in
Mozambique And plenty time for good romance And everybody likes
to stop and speak To give the special one you seek a chance And
maybe say hello with just a glance
Lying next to her by the ocean Reaching
out and touching her hand Whispering your secret emotion Magic
in a magical land
And when it's time for leaving
Mozambique To say goodbye to sand and sea You turn around to
take a final peek And you see why it's so unique to be Among
the lovely people living free Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique

por Al Stewart e Peter Wood, foi gravada em janeiro de 1976, nos
estúdios da Abbey Road, o mesmo dos Beatles. Foi lançada em julho
de 1976, no disco Year of the cat, assim como saiu em compacto com
Broadway Hotel como Lado B, também em julho de 1976. Foi produzida
por Alan Parsons. Chegou ao número 8 do Billboard Hot 100, número 3
no Canadá, número 6 na Holanda, número 9 na Bélgica, número 13
na Austrália, número 15 na Nova Zelândia e número 31 no Reino
Unido. E apesar de seu lugar mais alto no Billboard Hot 100 ser Time
passages, de 1978, Year of the cat continua a ser a canção mais
importante da carreira do artista, ainda hoje tocando bastante nas
rádios de clássic rock mundo afora. Trata-se de uma barrativa em
segunda pessoa, onde o protagonista, que é um turista, visita um
mercado exótico quando uma mulher vestida em seda o leva pra uma
aventura romantica. No dia seguinte, ele percebe que o onibus que ele
estava foi embora e ele resolve ficar onde está. O ano do gato no
Vietnam foi entre 11 de fevereiro de 1975 e janeiro de 1976, enquanto
na China era o ano do coelho nesse mesmo perído. Assim, a canção
foi escrita e gravada no ano do gato vietnamita. A canção é
conhecida por seus longos momentos apenas instrumentais. Dos 6
minutos e quarenta segundos, um pouco mais de 4 minutos é so
instrumental, com solos de cello, violino, piano, violão, guitarra,
sintetizador e sax. Tim Renwick toca os violões e guitarras e George
Ford toca baixo. Phil Kenzie toca o sax alto. Al Stewart canta, toca
guitarra base e teclado. Peter Wood toca teclados. Don Lobster toca
teclados. Stuart Elliott toca bateria e percussão. Bobby Bruce toca
violino. Marion Driscoll toca triangulo.

letra:
On
a morning from a Bogart movie In a country where they turn back
time You go strolling through the crowd like Peter
Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk
dress running Like a watercolor in the rain Don't bother asking
for explanations She'll just tell you that she came In the year
of the cat
She doesn't give you time for
questions As she locks up your arm in hers And you follow 'till
your sense of which direction Completely disappears By the blue
tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads
you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river
running through The year of the cat
While she looks at you so cooly And
her eyes shine like the moon in the sea She comes in incense and
patchouli So you take her, to find what's waiting inside The
year of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still
with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've
thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket So you have to
stay on But the drum-beat strains of the night remain In the
rhythm of the newborn day You know sometime you're bound to leave
her But for now you're going to stay In the year of the cat

Fontainebleau, they painted it
green Fontainebleau, for the well-to-do At the Fontainebleau
There's a palace in the gravy That's
holding on and on and on Even after all the blue-haired ladies And
the wheelchairs are gone
I guess the reason I'm so scared of
it Is I stayed there once and I almost fit I left before I got
out of it People were drownin' in their own
Fontainebleau, was that

Fontainebleau, where the surfer
works Fontainebleau, 'til the break of day Fontainebleau,
'cause it takes a shark Fontainebleau, to catch a wave at the

por Bob Dylan, e Jacques Levy, foi gravada em 31 de julho de 1975 e
lançada em 5 de janeiro de 1976, no disco Desire. Foi produzida por
Don De Vito. Faz alusões ao Egito Antigo, inclusive Isis sendo o
nome de uma deusa egipcia. Bob Dylan disse se tratar de uma canção
sobre o casamento. Isis fala a lenda de um que casou com uma mulher
enigmatica (uma criança mística) chamada Isis. Fala da separação
do narrador com ela, sua aventura e seu retorno. O casamento
aconteceu em cinco de maio, mas pouco tempo depois do casamento, ele
não aguentou e foi embora. Cortou o cabelo e saiu pelo país
desconhecido. Entrou em uma lavanderia pra se lavar do passado.
Encontra um personagem escabroso que promete mundos e fundos e saem
em busca de um tesouro. O sujeito morre e não encontram nada. E
então ele decide voltar pra Isis. Ela pergunta se ele vai ficar
dessa vez, ele diz que se ela quiser, ele fica. Foi essa parceria
entre Bob Dylan e Jacques Levy que se desenvolveu em outras canções
e no disco Desire. Isis foi a primeira. Bob cantou e tocou piano e
gaita. Scarlet Rivera tocou violino. Rob Stoner tocou baixo. Howie
Wyeth tocou bateria. Foi regravada pelos White Stripes, entre outros
artistas.
A
letra:
I
married Isis on the fifth day of May But I could not hold on to
her very long So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away For
the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
I came to a high place of darkness and
light The dividing line ran through the center of town I
hitched up my pony to a post on the right Went in to the laundry
to wash my clothes down
A man in the corner approached me for a
match I knew right away he was not ordinary He said, "Are
you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?" I said, "I got
no money." He said, "That ain't necessary"
We set out that night for the cold in
the North I gave him my blanket, and he gave me his word I
said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the
fourth I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard"
I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was
thinkin' about gold I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's
biggest necklace As we rode through the canyons, through the
devilish cold I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so
reckless
How she told me that one day we would
meet up again And things would be different the next time we
wed If I only could hang on and just be her friend I still
can't remember all the best things she said
We came to the pyramids all embedded in
ice He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to find If I carry
it out it'll bring a good price" 'Twas-a then that I knew
what he had on his mind
The wind it was howlin' and the snow
was outrageous We chopped through the night and we chopped through
the dawn When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious But
I made up my mind that I had to go on
I broke into the tomb, but the casket
was empty There was no jewels, no nothin', I felt I'd been
had When I saw that my partner was just bein' friendly When I
took up his offer I must-a been mad
I picked up his body and I dragged him
inside Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover I
said a quick prayer then I felt satisfied Then I rode back to find
Isis just to tell her I love her
She was there in the meadow where the
creek used to rise Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed I came
in from the East with the sun in my eyes I cursed her one time
then I rode on ahead
She said, "Where ya been?" I
said, "No place special" She said, "You look
different." I said, "Well, I guess" She said, "You
been gone." I said, "That's only natural" She said,
"You gonna stay?" I said, "If you want me to, yes"
Isis, oh, Isis, you're a mystical
child What drives me to you is what drives me insane I still
can remember the way that you smiled On the fifth day of May in
the drizzlin' rain
