Wither Thou Goest

Wither Thou goest - I will go.

Wither Thou lodgest - I will lodge.

Thy people shall be - My people - own.

Wither Thou goest - I will go.

Wither Thou goest - I will go.

Wither Thou lodgest - I will lodge.

Thy people shall be - My people - own.

Wither Thou goest - I will go.

The Broken Lip

Improvisation during the Frankfurt concert of April 6th, 1972

when someone from the audience requested a non-existened song

I never had a broken lip myself

But I'm willing to try it out

So why don't you come right up here

And punch me in the mouth

I ain't got no broken lip, babe

And you can see my mouth is perfectly whole

There isn't even a trace of a cold sore

Let alone a broken lip

Come to think of it, I did have a broken lip

But that was a long time ago

When I was a lot younger and a lot thinner

And a lot more ambitious

And a lot more reverent

A lot more reverent

A whole lot more reverent

I think it was my sister

Who really had the broken lip

I remember her lip, not only was it broken

You could say it was entirely mutilated

She had a handicap

Oh little sister, you got no mouth at all

Oh little sister, you got no mouth at all

Do you find it hard to drink water?

Do you find it hard to drink wine?

You know I get down on my knees and I pray for you

Little lipless sister of mine.

Oh it wasn't my sister

No I think it was my best friend

That's why I liked him

He was very little competition

In those adolescent kissing games
