Oh Mercy session 5, The Studio, New Orleans LA - 13.mar.1989 #1 Oh Mercy session 5, The Studio, New Orleans LA - 13.mar.1989 #2 Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel Thin man lookin' at his last meal Hollow man lookin' in a cotton field For dignity Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass Young man lookin' in the shadow that pass Poor man lookin' through painted glass For dignity Somebody got murdered on new year's eve Somebody said dignity was the first to leave I went into the city, went into the town Went in the land of the midnight sun Searchin' high, searchin' low Searchin' everywhere I know Askin' the cops wherever I go "Have you seen dignity?" Blind man breakin' out of a trance Puts his both hands in the pockets of chance Hopin' to find one circumstance Of dignity I went to the weddin' of Mary Lou She said I don't want nobody to see me talkin' to you Said she could get killed if she told what she knew 'Bout dignity I went down where the vultures feed I would've gone deeper but there wasn't any need Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men Wasn't any difference to me Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade House on fire, debts unpaid Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid Have you seen dignity? Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors Lookin' into the lost forgotten years For dignity Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used He wanted money up front, said he was abused By dignity Footprints runnin' 'cross the silver sand Steps goin' down into tattoo land I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light In the border towns of despair Got no place to fade, got no coat I'm on the rollin' river, in a jerkin' boat Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote 'Bout dignity. Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure Lookin' at hands for the lines that were And in every masterpiece of literature For dignity English man stranded in a black heart wind Combin' his hair back, his future looks thin Bites the bullet and he looks within For dignity Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed Dignity never been photographed I went into the red, went into the black In the valley of dry bone dreams So many roads, so much at stake So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take To find dignity.

12 Mar 1989 TELL TALE SIGNS:     THE BOOTLEG SERIES Vol. 8     RARE AND UNRELEASED 1989-2006 #1 CHRONIQUES VOLUME 1

Oh Mercy session 4, The Studio, New Orleans LA - 12.mar.1989, piano demo Fat man lookin' in a shinning steel Thin man lookin' at his last meal Hollow man lookin' in a cotton field For dignity. Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass Poor man lookin' through painted glass For dignity. Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve Somebody said dignity was the last to leave Went into the cities, went into the towns To the land of the midnight sun Searchin' high, searchin' low Searchin' everywhere I know Askin' the cops where ever I go "Have you seen dignity?" Blind man breakin' down of a trance Puts both his hands into the pockets of chance Hoping to find one circumstance Of dignity. Stranger stares down into the light From a platinum window in the Mexican night Searchin' every blood suckin' thing in sight For dignity. I went down where the vultures feed Would've gone deeper but there wasn't any need Heard the tongues of angels an' the tongues of men It all sounded no different to me. Soul of a nation is under the knife Death is standin' in the doorway of life In a next room a man fightin' with his wife Over dignity.

Oh Mercy recordings session 5, New Orleans LA - 13.mar.1989, Cajun band version Fat man lookin' in a ferris wheel Yellow man lookin' in his last meal Hollow man lookin' in a cotton field For dignity. Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass Young man lookin' in the days that pass Poor man lookin' through painted glass For dignity Dignity is a woman that knows Dignity moves like a tropical wind that blows Into the cities, into the towns Into the land of the midnight sun. I'm searching high, i'm searching low Searchin' everywhere i know Askin' the cops wherever I go Have you seen dignity? Drunk man listens to a voice he hears In a crowded room full of covered-up mirrors Looking into the lost, forgotten years For dignity. Don Juan was talkin' to Don Miguel Standing outside of the gates of hell There ain't nothing to say, it ain't nothing to tell 'Bout dignity. Dignity is a woman unspoiled By fame and greed and snakes that are coiled In the damp woods, on the river's edge Near the green, green grass of home. Pull into the platform, step off the train Walk thirty steps, it begins to rain I'm askin' somebody with water on his brain Have you seen dignity? Cities in a mess of jackhammer beats Buses roll by with burned out seats A child's eyes look through the creeping streets For dignity. Prince Phillip was talkin' to Miss Mary Lou She said don't let nobody see me talking to you She's afraid to tell him what she knew About dignity. Dignity is a woman that's light She don't tease, she don't travel at night Dignity is a woman that bleeds Like the hot egyptian sun. I'm lookin' east, lookin' west See people cursed, see people blessed Askin' everybody like a man possessed Have you seen dignity? Blind man breakin' out of a trance Puts both of his hands in the pockets of chance Hopin' to find one circumstance Of dignity. Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind Combin' his hair back, his future looks thin Bites the bullet and he looks within For dignity. Somebody showed me a picture and i just laughed Dignity never been photographed Dignity got no startin' point No beginnin', no middle, no end. Looking at a glass that's half-filled Looking at a dream that's just been killed Askin' everybody that's strong-willed Have you seen dignity?
