Judy Collins', "Both Sides Now "
Better Lyrics:
Better (additional) lyrics to end the song.
Sharp pains right here in my chest
brought on by cardiac arrest.
Falling down and lying there
not breathing any air.
CPR to revive me.
Then on to bypass surgery.
Intensive Care and then some rest
for my recovery.
I've looked at Death from both sides now;
been there and back and still some how
it's Death's illusions I recall
I really don't know Death at all.
Sharp pains right here in my chest
brought on by cardiac arrest.
Falling down and lying there
not breathing any air.
CPR to revive me.
Then on to bypass surgery.
Intensive Care and then some rest
for my recovery.
I've looked at Death from both sides now;
been there and back and still some how
it's Death's illusions I recall
I really don't know Death at all.
Original Lyrics:
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Ive looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living every day
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Ive looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living every day
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all

Judy Collins', "Both Sides Now"
Better Lyrics:
Emptied in a giant tub
You get ready to clean and scrub
It always takes more than a rub
I looked at chitlins (chitterlings) that way
But now they come in frozen packs
They all are cleaned and put in stacks
I place them in a grocery sack
Unwanted ones I put back
I looked at chitlins from both sides now
The pre washed clean reveals somehow
It’s chitlins illusions I recall
I really don’t know chitlins at all
You get ready to clean and scrub
It always takes more than a rub
I looked at chitlins (chitterlings) that way
But now they come in frozen packs
They all are cleaned and put in stacks
I place them in a grocery sack
Unwanted ones I put back
I looked at chitlins from both sides now
The pre washed clean reveals somehow
It’s chitlins illusions I recall
I really don’t know chitlins at all
Original Lyrics:
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feathered canyons everywhere
I looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would’ve done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now from up-and-down and still somehow
It’s clouds illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
And ice cream castles in the air
And feathered canyons everywhere
I looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would’ve done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now from up-and-down and still somehow
It’s clouds illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Judy Collins', "Clouds"
Better Lyrics:
Floppy feet and rainbow hair,
Confetti flying through the air,
And seltzer bottles everywhere--
I've looked at clowns that way...
But now they only wreck my fun,
They throw cream pies at everyone--
So many times I'd turn and run,
But clowns got in my way...
I've looked at clowns from both sides now,
In tiny cars, and still somehow
It's clowns on trikes that I recall;
I really don't know clowns...at all.
Confetti flying through the air,
And seltzer bottles everywhere--
I've looked at clowns that way...
But now they only wreck my fun,
They throw cream pies at everyone--
So many times I'd turn and run,
But clowns got in my way...
I've looked at clowns from both sides now,
In tiny cars, and still somehow
It's clowns on trikes that I recall;
I really don't know clowns...at all.
Original Lyrics:
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev’rywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev’ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s clouds' illusions I recall,
I really don’t know clouds at all.
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev’rywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev’ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s clouds' illusions I recall,
I really don’t know clouds at all.
