They're selling[C] postcards[F] of the[C] hanging
They're[F] painting the passports[C] brown
The [G]beauty parlor is filled with sailors
[F]The circus is in[C] town
[C]Here comes the blind commissioner
They've[F] got him in a[C] trance
One[G] hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
[F]The other is in his[C] pants
And the[F] riot squad they're restless
They[C] need somewhere to[F] go
As[C] Lady and I look[G] out tonight
From[F] Desolation[C] Row

Cinde[C]rella,[F] she seems so[C] easy
"It[F] takes one to know one," she[C] smiles
And[G] puts her hands in her back pockets
[F]Bette Davis style[C]
And[C] in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You Be[F]long to Me I Be[C]lieve"
And [G]someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend
[F]You better[C] leave"
And the[F] only sound that's left
[C]After the ambulances[F] go
Is [C]Cinderella[G] sweeping up
On[F] Desolation[C] Row

Now the[C] moon is[F] almost[C] hidden
The[F] stars are beginning to[C] hide
The[G] fortunetelling lady
Has even[F] taken all her things in[C]side
All ex[C]cept for Cain and Abel
And the[F] hunchback of Notre[C] Dame
[G]Everybody is making love
Or[F] else expecting[C]rain
And the[F] Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting[C] ready for the [F]show
He's[C] going to the[G] carnival tonight
On[F] Desolation[C] Row

Now O[C]phelia,[F] she's 'neath the[C] window
For[F]her I feel so af[C]raid
On her[G] twenty-second birthday
She al[C]ready is an old[F]maid
To[C] her, death is quite romantic
She[F] wears an iron[C] vest
Her pro[G]fession's her religion
Her[F] sin is her lifeless[C]ness
And [F]though her eyes are fixed upon
[C]Noah's great rain[F]bow
She[C] spends her time[G] peeking
Into[F] Desolation[C] Row

[C]Einstein,[F] disguised as[C] Robin Hood
With his[F] memories in a[C] trunk
[G]Passed this way an hour ago
With his[F] friend, a jealous[C] monk
He[C] looked so immaculately frightful
As he[F] bummed a cigar[C]ette
Then he[G] went off sniffing drainpipes
And re[F]citing the alpha[C]bet
Now[F] you would not think to look at him
But he was[C] famous long a[F]go
For[C] playing the electric[G] violin
On[F] Desolation[C] Row

Dr.[C] Filth,[F] he keeps his[C] world
In[F]side of a leather[C] cup
But[G] all his sexless patients
They're[F] trying to blow it[C] up
Now his[C] nurse, some local loser
She's in[F] charge of the cyanide[C] hole
And sh[G] also keeps the cards that read
"Have[F] Mercy on His[C] Soul"
[F]They all play on penny whistles
[C]You can hear them[F] blow
If you[C] lean your head out[G] far enough
From[F] Desolation[C] Row

Across the[C] street they've[F] nailed the[C] curtains
They're getting[F] ready for the[C] feast
The [G]Phantom of the Opera
A [F]perfect image of a[C]priest
They're[C] spoonfeeding Casanova
To[F] get him to feel more as[C]sured
Then they'll[G] kill him with self-confidence
After [F]poisoning him with[C] words
And the[F] Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get[C] Outa Here If You Don't[F] Know
Casa[C]nova is just being[G] punished for going
To[F] Desolation[C] Row"

Now at[C] midnight[F] all the[C] agents
And the [F]superhuman[C] crew
Come[G] out and round up everyone
That[F] knows more than they[F] do
Then they[C] bring them to the factory
Where the[F] heart-attack mac[C]hine
Is[G] strapped across their shoulders
And[F] then the kero[C]sene
Is[F] brought down from the castles
By in[C]surance men who[F] go
Check to[C] see that nobody is es[G]caping
To[F] Desolation[C] Row

[C]Praise be to[F] Nero's[C] Neptune
The Ti[F]tanic sails at[C] dawn
And[G] everybody's shouting out 
"[F]Which Side Are You[C] On?"
And[C] Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
[F]Fighting in the captain'[C] tower
While cal[G]ypso singers laugh at them
And[F]fishermen hold[C] flowers
Be[F]tween the windows of the sea
Where[C] lovely mermaids[F] flow
And[C] nobody has to[G] think too much
About [F]Desolation[C] Row

Yes, I re[C]ceived your[F] letter [C]yesterday
About the[F] time the door knob[C] broke
When you[G] asked how I was doing
Was [F]that some kind of[C]joke?
All these[C] people that you mention
Yes, I[F] know them, they're quite[C] lame
I had to[G] rearrange their faces
And give them[F] all another[C]name
[F]Right now I can't read too good
Don't[C] send me no more letters[F] no
[C]Not unless you[G] mail them
From [F]Desolation[C]Row

Bob Dylan - Desolation Row
"Royal Albert Concert" Part 5. PS:Due to the shitty time constraints on youtube I had to edit the track at the beginning and end, oh well another reason to buy this album. Due to little cowards who hide behind their computer screen and slag the greatest artist of the 20th Century and his fans, I am banning comments on this video.

Bob Dylan - Desolation row (full) HQ
One of my most favourite songs of one of my most favourite albums, Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited. I had to remove one couplet in the middle because this website doesnt accept videos longer than 10 minutes.. I did it well, so I think you won't notice it at all. Sorry!! This song is brilliant! I am curious about what the new album "Together through life" will bring. At the 12th of April I will see Bob Dylan in Amsterdam! Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, poet, and painter, who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan's most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. A number of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems of both the civil rights movements and of those opposed to the Vietnam War. Dylan's last studio album, Modern Times, was released on August 29, 2006 and entered the US album chart at number one; that year it was named Album of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine. A new studio album, entitled Together Through Life will be released on April 28, 2009 and is likely to repeat that success. Dylan's early lyrics incorporated political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, he has explored many ...

Bob Dylan - Desolation Row (first ever live performance)
As performed in the Forest Hills Stadium (NY), on the 28th of august 1965. The funny thing about this performance is the laughing of the audience: I never figured this song to be one of his 'funny ones', but upon hearing it for the first time, this audiences figured it was a very funny song. Interesting, don't you think? For more info about this concert, visit: www.punkhart.com
