American PieA long, long time ago,I can still remember howthat music used to make me smile.And I knew if I had my chancethat I could make those people dance,

and maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February made me shiverwith every paper I'd deliver.Bad news on the doorstepI couldn't take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride,but something touched me deep insidethe day the music died.

So, bye-bye, Miss American Piedrove my chevy to the leveebut the levee was dry,and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and ryesingin' this'll be the day that I die,this'll be the day that I die.

Did you write the Book of Love,and do you have faith in God aboveif the Bible tells you so?Do you believe in rock 'n roll?Can music save your mortal soul?

And can you teach me how to dance real slow?Well, I know that you're in love with him'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym.You both kicked off your shoes,man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buckwith a pink carnation and a pickup truck,but I knew I was out of luckthe day the music died.

I started singin'

bye-bye, Miss American Piedrove my chevy to the leveebut the levee was dry,and them good old boys weredrinkin' whiskey and ryesingin' this'll be the day that I die,this'll be the day that I die.

Now for ten years we've been on our ownand moss grows fat on a rollin' stone.But that's not how it used to bewhen the jester sang for the King and Queenin a coat he borrowed from James Dean.And a voice that came from you and me.

Oh, and while the King was looking downthe jester stole his thorny crown.The courtroom was adjourned,no verdict was returned.And while Lennon read a book of Marx,the quartet practiced in the park.And we sang dirges in the darkthe day the music died.

We were singingbye-bye, Miss American Piedrove my chevy to the leveebut the levee was dry,and them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and ryesingin' this'll be the day that I die,this'll be the day that I die.

Helter Skelter in a summer swelterthe Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter,eight miles high and falling fast.It landed foul out on the grassthe players tried for a forward pass

of 21

with the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume,while the Sergeants played a marching tunewe all got up to dance,Oh, but we never got the chance,'cause the players tried to take the fieldBut the marching band refused to yield.Do you recall what was revealedthe day the music died?

We started singingbye-bye, Miss American Piedrove my chevy to the leveebut the levee was dry,and them good old boys weredrinkin' whiskey and ryesingin' this'll be the day that I die,this'll be the day that I die.

Oh, and there we were all in one placea generation lost in space,with no time left to start again.So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quickJack Flash sat on a candlestick'cause fire is the Devil's only friend.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stagemy hands were clenched in fists of rage.No angel born in hell could break that Satan's spell,and as the flames climbed high into the nightto light the sacrifical rite,I saw Satan laughing with delightthe day the music died.

He was singingbye-bye, Miss American Pie

drove my chevy to the leveebut the levee was dry,and them good old boys weredrinkin' whiskey and ryesingin' this'll be the day that I die,this'll be the day that I die.

I met a girl who sang the bluesand I asked her for some happy news,but she just smiled and turned away.I went down to the sacred storewhere I'd heard the music years before,but the man there said the music woudn't play.And in the streets the children screamed,the lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.

But not a word was spoken,the church bells all were broken.And the three men I admire most,The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost,they caught the last train for the coastthe day the music died.

And they were singingbye-bye, Miss American Piedrove my chevy to the leveebut the levee was dry,and them good old boys weredrinkin' whiskey and ryesingin' this'll be the day that I die,this'll be the day that I die.

They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Piedrove my chevy to the leveebut the levee was dry,them good old boys weredrinking whiskey and ryesingin' this'll be the day that I die.

Angel Of HarlemIt was a cold and wet December dayWhen we touched the ground at JFKSnow was melting on the groundOn BLS I heard the soundOf an angel

New York, like a Christmas treeTonight this city belongs to meAngel

Soul love...this love won't let me goSo long...angel of Harlem

Birdland on fifty-threeThe street sounds like a symphonyWe got John Coltrane and a love supremeMiles says she's got to be an angel

Lady Day got diamond eyesShe sees the truth behind the lies Angel

Blue light on the avenueGod knows they got to youAn empty glass, the lady singsEyes swollen like a bee sting

Bicycle Built For Two (Daisy, Daisy)Daisy, Daisy, give me you answer true. I'm half-crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage; But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two. Henry, Henry, here is your answer true; I'm not crazy over the likes of you. If YOU can't afford a carriage, forget about the marriage; 'Cause I won't be jammed, I won't be crammed on a bicycle built for two.

Blowing In The WindHow many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand How many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned

The answer my friend Is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea How many years can some people exist Before they;re allowed to be free How many times can a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn't see


How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky How many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry How many deaths will it till he knows That too many people have died

Budgerigar SongI’m a little Budgerigar,With a big tummy ache,‘Cause the people that I live with are so stingy. They feed me herring every day and I don’t like that no way.Yes, I’d rather,Yes, I’d rather,Coca Cola and Ice Cream.

ClementineIn a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine, Lived a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine. CHORUS Oh my darling, Oh my darling,

of 21

Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine, Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine.

Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine, Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine, Alas for me! I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine.

In a churchyard near the canyon, where the myrtle doth entwine, There grow roses and other posies, fertilized by Clementine.

Then the miner, forty-niner, soon began to peak and pine, Thought he oughter join his daughter, now he's with his Clementine.

In my dreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments soaked in brine, While in life I used to hug her, now she's dead I draw the line.

How I missed her, how I missed her, how I missed my Clementine, Until I kissed her little sister, and forgot my Clementine.

Now ye Scouts all heed the warning to this tragic tale of mine, Mouth-to-mouth resuscitationwould have saved my Clementine.

Consider Yourself At HomeConsider yourself at homeConsider yourself one of the familyWe've taken to you so strongIt's clear, we're going to get along

Consider yourself well inConsider yourself part of the furnitureThere isn't alot to spareWho cares, whatever we've got we'll share

If it should chance to be we should seeSome harder days, empty larder daysWhy grouse?Always a chance we'll meetSomebody to foot the billThen the drinks are on the house

Consider yourself our mateWe don't want to have no fussFor after some consideration we can stateConsider yourself one of us

Country House(So the story begins)City dwellerSuccessful fellaThought to himself:"Oops, I've got a lot of moneyCaught in a rat race

TerminallyI'm a professional cynicBut my heart's not in itI'm paying the price of living life at the limitCaught up in the century's anxiety"

Yes, it preys on himHe's getting thinHe lives in a houseA very big houseIn the countryWatching afternoon repeatsAnd the food he eatsIn the countryHe takes all manner of pillsAnd piles up analyst billsIn the countryOh, it's like an animal farmThat's the rural charmIn the country

He's got morning glory and life's a different storyEverything's going JackanoryTouched with his own mortalityHe's reading Balzac, knocking back ProzacIt's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully blandOh, it's a century's remedy

For the faint at heartA new start(Try the simple life) He lives in a houseA very big houseIn the countryHe's got a fog in his chestSo he needs a lot of restIn the country

Don’t Look Back in AngerSlip inside the eye of your mindDon't you know you might findA better place to playYou say that you've never beenBut all the things that you've seenSlowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed‘Cause you said the brains I had went to my headStep outside the summertime's in bloomStand up besides the fireplaceTake that look from of your face‘Cause you ain’t ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too lateAs we're walking on byHer soul slides away, but don't look back in angerI heard you say

Take me to a place where you goWhere nobody knows

If its night or dayPlease don't put your life in the handsOf a Rock n Roll bandWho'll throw it all away

Everywhere We GoEverywhere we goEverywhere we goPeople always ask usPeople always ask usWho we areWho we areWhere we come fromWhere we come fromWe're from DublinWe're from DublinMighty, Mighty DublinMighty, Mighty DublinAnd if they can't hear usAnd if they can't hear usWe'll shout a little louderWe'll shout a little louder(Repeat several times, louder each time until...And if they can't hear usTHEY MUST BE DEAF!)

Fields of AthenryBy the lonely prison wall. I heard a young girl calling.Michael, they are taking you away, for youstole Trevelyn's corn. So the young might see the morn. Now a prisonship lies waiting in the bay.

Low lie, the Fields of Athenry, whereonce we watched the small free birds fly. Our

love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing.It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wallI heard a young man calling.Nothing matters Mary when you're free,Against the Famine and the CrownI rebelled, they ran me down.Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Chorus!

By a lonely harbour wallShe watched the last star falling.And that prison ship sailed out against the sky.Sure she'll wait and hope and pray,for her love in Botany Bay.It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Hotel CaliforniaOn a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim Had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell, And I was thinking to myself, This could be heaven or this could be hell Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way, There were voices down the corridor, thought I heard them say:

Welcome to the Hotel California, Such a lovely place, such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find her here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedez Benz She got a lot of pretty pretty boys That she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard,

of 21

sweet summer sweat, Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain: Please bring me some wine He said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969 And still those voices were calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say:

Welcome to the Hotel California, such a lovely place, such a lovely face They're living up in the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your alibis,

Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice, She said `We are just prisoners here of our own device'. And in the master's chambers they gathered for the beast They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember I was running for the door Had to find the passage back to the place I was before `Relax' said the doorman, `We are programmed to receive, You can check out any time you like but you can never leave...'

If You're Happy and you know itIf you're happy and you know it Clap your hands (x2) If you're happy and you know it And you really want to show it

Molly Malone

In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so prettyI first set my eyes on sweet Molly MaloneAs she wheeled her wheelbarrow,through streets broad and narrowCrying cockles and mussles alive,alive-oh.

Alive,alive-oh.Alive,alive-oh.Crying cockles and mussles,alive,alive-oh.

She was a fishmonger and sure 'twas no wonderFor so were her father and mother beforeThey both wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrowCrying cockles and mussles alive,alive-oh.


She died of a fever and noone could save herAnd that was the end of sweet Molly MoloneBut her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrowCrying cockles and mussles alive,alive-oh.

Show Me The Way To Go HomeShow me the way to go home, I'm tired and I want to go to bed. Oh, I had a little drink about an hour ago, and it's gone right to my head. Wherever I may roam, on land or sea or foam. You will always hear me singing this song: Show me the way to go home.

Toes together, Bums back Chest out, Chin down, Tongue out

Stand by meWhen the night has come and the land is dark And the moon is the only light I see, No, I won't be afraid No I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand Stand by me.

So darling, darling, Stand by me Oh stand by me, Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon should crumble and fall or the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, No I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, Stand by me

Staring at the Sun

Summer stretching on the grassSummer dresses passIn the shade of a willow treeCreeps a crawling over me

Over me and over you

Stuck together with God's glueIt's going to get stickier tooIt's been a long hot summerLet's get under coverDon't try too hard to thinkDon't think at all

I'm not the only one Staring at the sunAfraid of what you'd findIf you took a look inside

I'm not just deaf and dumbStaring at the sunNot the only oneWho's happy to go blind

There's an insect in your earIf you scratch it won't disappearIt's going to itch and burn and stingYou want to see what the scratching brings

Waves that leave me out of reachBreaking on your back like a beachWill we ever live in peace'Cause those that can't doOften have toAnd those that can't doOften have to preach

To the ones Staring at the sunAfraid of what you'll findIf you took a look inside

Not just deaf and dumbStaring at the sunI'm not the only one

Who'd rather go blind

Intransigence is all aroundMilitary still in townArmour plated suits and ties Daddy just won't say goodbye

Referee won't blow the whistleGod is good but will He listenI'm nearly greatBut there's something missingI left it in the duty free But you never really belonged to me

You're not the only oneStaring at the sun Afraid of what you'd findIf you stepped back inside

I'm not sucking on my thumb I'm staring at the sunNot the only oneWho's happy to go blind

Summer Nights (Grease)Summer loving had me a blastSummer loving happened so fastI met a girl crazy for meMet a boy cute as can beSummer days drifting away to oh oh the summer nights

He got friendly holding my handShe got friendly down in the sandHe was sweet just turned eightteenWell she was good you know what I meanSummer heat boy and girl meet but oh oh the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me moreHow much dough did he spend?Tell me more, tell me moreCould she get me a friend?

It turned colder that's where it endsSo I told her we'd still be friendsThen we made our true love vow

Wonder what she's doing now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh those summer nightsTell me more, tell me more

SummertimeSummertime and the living is easyFish are jumping and the cotton is highOh, your dad is rich and your ma is good lookingSo hush little baby, don't you cryOne of these mornings, you're gonna rise up shiningThen you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the skiesBut till that morning, there ain't nothing to harm youWith your daddy and mammy standing by

Sunny AfternoonThe taxman's taken all my dough,and left me in this stately home,lazing on a sunny afternoon.And I can't sail my yacht,he's taken everything I've got,all I got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.I gotta big fat mama trying to break me.And I love to live so pleasantly,live this life of luxury,lazing on a sunny afternoon.In the summertimeIn the summertimeIn the summertime.

My girlfriend's gone off with my car,And gone back to her ma and pa,Telling tails of drunkenness and cruelty.Now I'm sitting here,sipping at my ice cold beer,lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me, help me, help me sail away,Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,live this life of luxury,lazing on a sunny afternoon.In the summertimeIn the summertimeIn the summertime.

Taps (Day Is Done)Day is done, gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky; All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight, And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright. From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days, 'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky; As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come, Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight, And the stars gleaming rays softly send, To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

The Green Fields Of FranceWell how do you do, young Willie McBride, do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside. And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun. I've been working all day and I'm nearly done.

I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen when you joined the dead heroes of nineteen-sixteen.I hope you died well and I hope you diedclean. Or Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene.

Chorus:Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly, did they sound the dead-march as they lowered you down.And did the band play the Last post and chorus. Did the pipes play the 'Flowers of the forest'.

And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behindIn some faithful heart is your memory enshrinedAlthough you died back in nineteen sixteenIn that faithful heart are you forever nineteen

Or are you a stranger without even a nameEnclosed and forever behind the glass frameIn a old photograph, torn and battered and stainedAnd fade to yellow in a brown leather frame.

The sun now it shines on the green fields of FranceThere's a warm summer breeze. it makes the red poppies danceAnd look how the sun shines from under the cloudsThere's no gas, no barbed wire, there's no guns firing now

But here in this graveyard it's still no-man's-land

The countless white crosses stand mute in the sandTo man's blind indifference to his fellow manTo a whole generation that were butchered and damned.

Now young Willie McBride I can't help but wonder whyDo all those who lie here know why they diedAnd did they believe when they answered the causeDid they really believe that this war would end wars

Well the sorrows, the suffering, the glory. the painThe killing and dying was all done in vainFor young Willie McBride it all happened againAnd again, and again, and again, and again.

The House Of The Rising SunThere is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun It's been the ruin of many a poor girl, oh God I know I'm one Go tell your baby sister not to do what I have done Shun that house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun

If I had listened to what my mama said, I had been at home today Being so young and foolish, poor boy, let a rambler lead me astray My mother she's a tailor She sewed those new blue jeans My sweetheart he's a gambler Oh Lord, down in New Orleans

Well the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's on a run Fills his glasses to the brim and passes them around The only pleasure he gets out of life is rambling from town to town.

The Was An Old LadyThere was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. I guess she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider That wiggled and jiggled and tickled insider her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. I guess she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird. How absurd! To swallow a bird! She swallowed the bird to catch the spider

That wiggled and jiggled and tickled insider her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. I guess she'll die.

[Continue verses.] Cat . . . Imagine that! She swallowed a cat. Dog . . . What a hog! She swallowed a dog. Goat . . . She opened her throat and in walked a goat.

Cow . . . I don't know how she swallowed that cow. There was an old lady, she swallowed a horse. She DIED of course!

The Sounds Of SilenceHello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again, Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping And a vision that was planted in my brain still remains, within the sounds of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a pale street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp, when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of neon light that split the night and touched the sounds of silence.

And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share and no one dare disturb the sound of silence.

`Fools' said I `You do not know, Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you,' but my words like silent rainbows fell and echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon gods they'd made. And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming. And the sign said `The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls' and whispered in the sound of silence

Where The Streets Have No NameI want to runI want to hideI want to tear down the wallsThat hold me insideI want to reach outAnd touch the flameWhere the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my faceI see the dust cloud disappear Without a traceI want to take shelter from the poison rainWhere the streets have no name

Where the streets have no nameWhere the streets have no nameWe're still building

Then burning down loveBurning down loveAnd when I go thereI go there with youIt's all I can do

The city's afloodAnd our love turns to rustWe're beaten and blown by the windTrampled in dustI'll show you a placeHigh on a desert plain Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no nameWhere the streets have no nameWe're still buildingThen burning down loveBurning down loveAnd when I go thereI go there with youIt's all I can doOur love turns to rustWe're beaten and blown by the windBlown by the windOh, and I see loveSee our love turn to rustWe're beaten and blown by the windBlown by the windOh, when I go thereI go there with youIt's all I can do

Wild RoverI've been as wild rover for many the yearAnd I've spent all my money on whiskey and beerAnd now I'm returning with gold in great storeAnd I never will play the wild rover no more

of 21

And It's no, nay, neverNo, nay, never no moreWill I play the wild roverNo never no more

I went into an ale house I used to frequentAnd I told the landlady my money was spentI asked her for credit, she answered me "naySure 'tis custom like yours I can get any day"

I took out from my pocket 10 sovereigns brightAnd the landlady's eyes opened wide with delightShe said "Sir, I have whiskey and wines of the bestAnd the words I have spoke they were only in jest"

I'll go home to my parents - confess what I've doneAnd I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal sonAnd than they'll caress me as oft times beforeAnd I never will play the wild rover no more

With or Without You

See the stone set in your eyesSee the thorn twist in your sideI wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fateOn a bed of nails she makes me waitAnd I wait without you

With or without youWith or without you

Through the storm we reach the shoreYou give it all but I want moreAnd I'm waiting for you

With or without youWith or without youI can't live With or without you

And you give yourself awayAnd you give yourself awayAnd you giveAnd you giveAnd you give yourself away

My hands are tiedMy body bruised, she's got me withNothing to win andNothing left to lose

And you give yourself awayAnd you give yourself awayAnd you giveAnd you giveAnd you give yourself away

With or without youWith or without youI can't liveWith or without you

With or without youWith or without youI can't liveWith or without youWith or without you

WonderwallToday is gonna be the dayThat they're gonna throw it back to youBy now you should've somehowRealised what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybodyFeels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word is on the streetThat the fire in your heart is outI'm sure you've heard it all beforeBut you never really had a doubtI don't believe that anybody feelsThe way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are windingAnd all the lights that lead us there are blindingThere are many things that I wouldLike to say to youBut I don't know how

Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me?And after allYou're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?But they'll never throw it back to youBy now you shoud've somehowRealised what you're not to doI don't believe that anybodyFeels the way I doAbout you now

All the roads that lead you there are windingAll the lights that light the way are blindingThere are many thingsthat I would like to say to you But I don't know how

I said maybeYou're gonna be the one who saves me?And after all

WormsNobody likes me, everybody hates me, I'll go out and dig some worms; Long thin skinny ones; Big fat juicy ones, See how they wriggle and squirm. Bite their heads off, Suck their juice out, Throw their skins away, Nobody knows how much I thrive On worms three times a day. Long thin skinny ones slip down easily, Big fat juicy ones stick; Hold your head back, Squeeze their tail, And their juice just goes drip, drip.

Yellow SubmarineIn the town where I was bornLived a man who sailed to seaAnd he told us of his lifeIn the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun

Till we found the sea of greenAnd we lived beneath the wavesIn our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine, Yellow submarine, yellow submarineWe all live in a yellow submarine, Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board Many more of them live next doorAnd the band begins to play


As we live a life of easeEveryone of us has all we needSky of blue and sea of greenIn our yellow submarine.



YesterdayYesterday All my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as if they're here to stay Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me, oh yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say.

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I lead a place to hide away Oh I believe in yesterday

You're The One That I Want (Grease)I got chills they're multiplyingAnd I'm losing controlCause the power you're supplyingIt's Electrifying!

You're the one that I want ho ho ho honeyYou're the one that I want ho ho ho honeyYou're the one that I want ho ho ho honeyThe one that I need oh yes indeed

If you feel the wave affectionYour to shy to conveyMeditate in my direction
