I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'cause if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst

Summer journeys to Niag'ra
and to other places aggra-
vate all our cares.
We'll save our fares!
I've a cozy little flat in
what is known as old Manhattan
we'll settle down
right here in town!
We'll have Manhattan
the Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely going through
the zoo!
It's very fancy
on old Delancy
street you know.
The subway charms us so
when balmy breezes blow
to and fro.
And tell me what street
compares with Mott Street
in July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.
The great big city's a wonderous toy
just made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy!
We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the whiles
And starve together dear, in Chiles
We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close, some day
The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattan

Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner,
But he knew it couldn't last.
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson Arizona,
for some California grass.
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged.
(Get back Jo Jo)
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged.
(Get back Jo Jo)
Sweet Loretta Martin
thought she was a woman,
But she was another man.
All the girls around her
say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can.
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged.
(Get back Jo Jo)
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged.
Spoken ad lib:
Get back, Loretta, your momma's waitin' for you
Wearin' her high hell shoes and a low neck sweater.

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
she said sheÚFFFF92s goin' now, come back tomorrow
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel tomorrow IÚFFFF92m gonna be by your side"
Fly away, high away, fly away
Sure enough this morning came unto me
silver wings silhouetted against a childÚFFFF92s sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
TodayÚFFFF92s the day for you to rise
Take my hand, youÚFFFF92re gonna be my man, youÚFFFF92re gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side"
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side"

Pay-day Friday and the weekend's here
I've been workin' all week tryin' to pay for this gear
Gonna raise Hell on Union Street
Thirteen guys and a packet of three
And if I don't get laid I'll sure die tryin'
Tonight this city's gonna be all mine
I wanna talk about motorbikes, cars and things
No sophistication or designer jeans
I'm no angel, but I know what I like
A little rough and tumble on a Friday night
I'm like a cornered rat, I gotta explode
Goodbye baby don't know when I'll be home
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
By eleven o'clock I'll be flyin' high
Ain't nothing in the world that I won't try
Jimmy got smashed, took his trousers off
Barman said, " You boys have had enough
Join the army, get yourself a decent job"
Indecent exposure in a parking lot
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
Bundle on the dance floor, a jaw got bust
Swear to God that it wasn't one of us
A seven foot bouncer called the police
We got pulled in for disturbing the peace
Well if you can't take a joke
Then there ain't no point in living
Sunday morning I woke up laughin'
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
What d' you say?
Tora, Tora, Tora, where's my old man?
Tora, Tora, Tora, where's my old man?
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling

The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king and foolish
Though it may seem to me
That's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
You eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you my love
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
You eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you my love
The very thought of you my love

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
But if you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night ooh the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
But if you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight

Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Let's dance together just for the night
Let's don't worry about the future or nothin' else
'Cause just like the music's sayin' you gotta take chances
Go ahead just do it and trust yourself
There's a soul in the city
Watching over us tonight
There's a soul in the city
Saying everything's gonna be all right
So bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
They wish us luck but they think we're just dreaming
Let's prove them wrong baby
'Cause you know what luck is, luck is believing you're lucky
That's all and showing just a little bit of faith
There's a soul in the city
Watching over us I swear
There's a soul in the city
There's a whole world waiting out there
Listen, I got plans for us, playing like a skip on a record
Through my head all night long
But when we walk that darkened stairway and step out on the roof
I know what we're feeling can't be wrong
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Let the temptations sing it one time
Bring over some of you old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Bring over some of you old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
How sweet it is honey
Bring over some of you old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Bring over some of you old Motown records

Feels like I'm goin' insane
I'm loosin' my brain
I can't stand the pain I'm feelin'
Open my arms, they don't reach
I want you to teach me
What do I do now, baby
What do I do now, baby
Cry every day I exist
I wanna be missed
I wanna be needed, baby
Don't wanna put on a show
So where do I go
and what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby
Sometimes it seems to me
Like my whole worlds fallin' apart
I miss you so much, dear
Won't you come back to my arms
Oh yeah
Thoughts spinnin' round in my head
the things that you said
I wanna be sleepin', baby
Open my eyes, there's no one
The damage is done
Oh what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby
(repeat and fade)

Well I've Seen her
Down the alley
And over the hill
To steel her away
She was as hot as
Georgia asphalt
When the aircraft came
To adore her brain
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
You should've seen her
Back in the city
Poetry and jewels
Broke all the rules
She was as high as
A Georgia palm tree
(1) So Leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
Some sunny day
When the h... of times have
Gone farewell
You'll understand
Why it was so hard
To run away
To run away
She's a loser
She's a forgiver
She still finds good
When no one could
You want her
More than money
Cadillac can rust
Diamond and dust
[Repeat (1)]
Ah, yeah
Leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,...
La, la, la, leave her alone
Oh, Virginia
Oh, Virginia
Leave her alone

(R. Stewart, C. Kentis, J. Golub, C. Rojas)
He wakes up in the morning like a newborn baby
The message on the machine says "you're driving me crazy"
His feet don't touch the ground
he can hardly wait to see her tonight
Now every new song on the radio reminds him of her
He says hello to strangers and he's singing in the shower
The sign in his eyes says this guy's got a problem so nice so nice
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream
When a man's in love when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
He's early on the job and all his friends begin to sense
his attitude has changed he's serene and contented
His feet don't touch the ground he can hardly wait to see her tonight
And he calls her on the telephone about a dozen times an hour
She's flattered by the avalanche of attention and flowers
He tells all his buddies "Boys, I've finally found someone for me"
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
ain't nothin' too hard or too tough when a man's in love
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
When a man's in love
She dominates his every thought and dream and conversation
He talks about her constantly with an air of jubilation
There ain't nothin' in the world he wouldn't do to make her little face smile
But oh don't it make you want to smile and dance
May God bless us all with a little romance
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
she's in his heart and running through his blood
when a man's in love
When a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger, fly like a dove
when a man's in love
when a man's in love
There ain't nothing he can't do
when a man's in love
when a man's in love

[B side of Mercury 6052 198, 1972]
It's late and she is waiting, and I know I must go home,
But every time I start to leave, they play another song,
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.

See your bag's packed and you're ready to go
There's just one thing I think that you all ought to know
You're my girl, you're my girl
I don't wanna discuss it woman
ain't no need to try
I don't wanna discuss it baby
come on baby try
You're my girl, listen baby, you're my girl
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna hear you say
I don't wanna even discuss it woman
I don't wanna hear what you say
'cause you know that
You're my girl, you're my girl
You're my girl, you're my girl, no no
I know that you've been running 'round
with another man in town
Tried to put you right woman
but you keep on putting me down
Listen to me now, you're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl
get in there
I don't wanna talk about it woman
'cause I know you got another man
I don't wanna say another word
just get back where you're at
You got to tell me 'cause
You're my girl, come on baby
You're my girl, you're my girl oh-oh
You're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl

You must be crazy or half insane
Look at your eyeballs, street cocaine
You drink that white rum, you hit the roof
What do you expect, one-five-one proof
You drive your mustang down Sunset Strip
And in the back seat, a big black whip
Look at your lipstick, all 'round your face
Everything you do is in bad taste
Chorus:
Baby I think you're cute
But there's no substitute for love
Honey it's a crying shame
This whole mad town thinks you're insane
You take me dancing but I can't dance
but when I try to, you start to laugh
You shake your hips child like a rattle snake
You make me jealous make no mistake
You went to Woodstock and all that trash
Your generation is fading fast
You wear them hot pants, they're out of style
You like brown sugar, I think it's vile
(Chorus)
One of these nights child, it won't be long
Somebody somewhere who's big and strong
In a dark alley, a blood stained coat
He'll stick his long thing right down your throat
(Chorus)
Lord have mercy
Hey baby, I think you're insane baby
You got no brain, you're insane
Tell me baby, can you play harp
Can you play bass
Can you play guitar
Can you play drum
Then you're insane

Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
She walked like you do I thought it was you
As she turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed but it wasn't you, wasn't you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
Oh you are everything and everything is you
How can I forget when each face that I see
brings back memories of being with you
I just can't go on livin' life as I do
comparing each girl to you
knowing they just won't do, they're not you
You are everything
Everything is you
You're everything to me girl
I miss you baby
Everything is you
You are everything
Every little thing
You're all I've got
Girl, you're everything to me
You are everything and everything is you
Everything to me

I remember just like it was yesterday
A summer's night, a small cafe
We laughed so much, we almost cried
Then I heard you say
"I think I'm falling in love with you"
I said "Yeah, I'm the same way, too!
I let you in
You danced inside this old heart of mine
I've realized, baby
You and I could never be
But I just wanna thank you
for the memories
When I was your man
When I was your man
When I was your man
Everything in my world
seemed good and right
I remember each and every day with you
And every way I made love to you
The way you made each day special
God, I miss you so.
You made me dance, you made me sing
You showed me what happiness
loving could bring
The way we spent last summer together
Seems so far away
Excuse me, baby
If I sound a little blue
The best times I ever had
I spent with you
When I was your man
When I was your man
When I was your man
Everything in my world
seemed good and right
I'm trying hard to carry on
But the thought of you still ingers on
The robe you wore
Still hangs behind my bedroom door
Your dress rehearsals
And schoolgirl pranks
Your saxophone lessions, your cowboy hats
the way we planned our lives together
seems so far away
When I was your man
When I was your man
When I was your man
Everything in this world
seemed good and right
When I was your man
When I was your man
When I was your man
Everything in this world

Lost in time, I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts, so unkind
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
And now I sit here, I'm all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels deep in war
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am
So what am I now but love's last home
I'm all of the soft words, I once owned
If I opened my heart there'd be no space for air
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm too much for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am
With this changing soul in this weak old heart
Oh baby, ain't I too much for you
With this changing soul in this weak old heart
Oh baby, ain't I too much for you
Lost in time, I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts, so unkind
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm nobody's fool
Deep as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am
Weak as I am, I'm too much for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm nobody's fool
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am

No tears
No fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again
Your kiss
Your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is never goodbye
We'll be together again.
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not goodbye

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen up the back of your pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate 'cause
(Chorus)
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
C'mon angel my heart's on fire
Don't deny yours man desire
You'd be a fool to stop this time.
Spread your wings and let me come inside
(Chorus)
Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my backdoor too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes, and sit right down
Loosen up that pretty French gown
Let me pour ya a good long drink
Ooh, baby don't you hesitate, 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
C'mon, angel, my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside, 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Don't say a word, my virgin Child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

In the morning
Don't say you love me
Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita
Cause your perfum smelling sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
guitar
Won't need to much pursuading
I don't mean to sound degrading
But with a face like that
You got nothing to laugh about
Red lips hair and fingernails
I hear your a mean old jezabel
Lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
So in the morning
Please don't say you love me
Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yea I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best colonge
Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight you better stay with me
Sit down, get up, get down
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight your going stay with me
Hey, whats your name again
oh no, get down, wooo

Oh, yeah
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to lean on
Someone to take you away
Someone to talk to
And somewhere to walk to
I need to remind you someway
Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)
A night to remember
The rain in September
I want to share it with you
The month by the ocean
We swore our devotion
Making all our wishes come true, come true
Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)
I want you to know
I've never before
Felt this way
No other words can say
I was lost just yesterday
Until I found you
Oh, yeah
Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)
The night to remember
The rain in September
I want to share it with you
The month by the ocean
We swore our devotion
Making all our wishes come true, come true
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh

You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them
You ask me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
Chorus:
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went on back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
to the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
(chorus)
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
to the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
(chorus)

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye
My heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me
It's foolish to start
For that old, old feeling is still in my heart
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me
It's foolish to start
For that old, old feeling is still in my heart
Still in my heart

Come on, little baby, let's tear that dance floor up
Come on, little baby, let's tear that dance floor up.
Come on, little mama, let me see you strut your stuff.
I'm a' leavin', little baby, gonna be gone a long, long time.
I'm a' leavin', little baby, gonna be gone a long, long time.
Well come on honey and show me a real good time.
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby let me see you strut your stuff.
[instrumental verse]
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby let me see you strut your stuff.
Well you step back baby, and you move my way,
step around again and let me hear you say
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby, let me see you strut your stuff.
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little mama let me see you strut your stuff.
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little mama let me see you strut your stuff.

Never get to bed before sunup,
alway get caught in the rain;
sometimes I might get in trouble,
never was one to complain.
Now gentleman, you must agree
ain't it worth it when you're out on cloud thirty-three
to be stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
Never found a dime in a gutter,
always get my best friends drunk.
If the pres'dent tries to call me,
say Rodney, come on over for lunch ;
I'd say, Gentlemen, exuse me please
but I'm busy with my buddies up on cloud thirty-three.
Yeah, stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
Sunday is a drag, so forget it,
Monday you can make up for that;
Tuesday, take a taste for dinner,
if you're all right spend it in bed.
But on Thursday prepare for your weekend
and let Friday disappear into Saturday mornin'
when you're stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
I don't mind stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.

I am sailing, I am sailing home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying like a bird 'cross the sea.
I am flying passing high clouds, to be near you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me, thru' the dark night far away?
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?
Can you hear me, can you hear me, thru' the dark night far away?
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?
We are sailing, we are sailing 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.

All around all of the guys call her flamingo
'cause her hair glows like the sun
and her eyes light up the sky
When she walks by
she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by
she brightens up the neighborhood
and every guy would take her hand
If he just could, if she just would
Some sweet day
I'll make her mine, pretty flamingo
and every guy will envy me
cause paradise is where I'll be
When she walks by
she brightens up the neighborhood
and every guy would take her hand
If he just could, if she just would
Some sweet day
I'll make her mine, pretty flamingo
and every guy will envy me
cause paradise is where I'll be

People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
among the loved the most
There ain't no room
for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own
Have pity on those
whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne
So people get ready
for the train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
you just get on board !
All you need is faith
to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
you just thank, you just thank the Lord
Yeah
Yeah
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
this time I'm ready
this time I'm ready

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feelin', it's a feelin' I'm concealin', I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental, alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stallin', I'm fallin', love is callin', why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance, why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try to make a go of it
Now, we might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love

Miss you babe
Miss you babe
She's everywhere I go
She's everything I know
And now I think she's finally
Touched my soul
She's heaven here on earth
Much more than I deserve
And I don't wanna ever let her go
I'm getting used to all her ways
Everything she says
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups and all her downs
She's every move that I make
She's every breath I take
She's got a hold on me
That I don't wanna break
I mean my girl bring her home to me
My girl can't wait for you to see
My girl means everything to me
My girl my girl
My friends keep coming round
Saying come out on the town
What's wrong, you ain't the guy
We used to know
And I tell them I say
Without her by my side
I'm only half alive
I love her so bad
And I don't care if it shows
I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, can't wait for you to see
My girl, my girl, my girl
At last my heart has found a home
This time I know where I belong
I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, can't wait for you to see
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, I just wanna see
My girl, my girl, my girl,my girl

Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused
But I fell I'm being used
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The morning sun when it's in your eyes really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes
My love you didn't need to coax
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a helping hand
But you turned into a lover and mother, what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collecd my books and go on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living at playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these days

(P.Sears)
[instrumental]

In these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a friend of mine
Georgie boy was gay I guess
nothin' more or nothin' less
the kindest guy I ever knew
His mother's tears fell in vain
the afternoon George tried to explain
that he needed love like all the rest
Pa said there must be a mistake
how can my son not be straight
after all I've said and done for him
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems
Georgie went to New York town
where he quickly settled down
and soon became the toast of the great white way
Accepted by Manhattan's elite
in all the places that were chic
No party was complete without George
Along the boulevards he'd cruise
and all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved Georgie boy
The last time I saw George alive
was in the summer of seventy-five
he said he was in love I said I'm pleased
George attended the opening night
of another Broadway hype
but split before the final curtain fell
Deciding to take a short cut home
arm in arm they meant no wrong
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue
Out of a darkened side street came
a New Jersey gang with just one aim
to roll some innocent passer-by
There ensued a fearful fight
screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night
The sight of blood dispersed the gang
A crowd gathered, the police came
An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third
Georgie's life ended there
but I ask who really cares
George once said to me and I quote
He said "Never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it's too late
You may never get another chance
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
live it long and live it fast"
Georgie was a friend of mine
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay

(John Lennon)What we really came back to play was this number - Jealous Guy
I was dreaming of the past
and my heart was beatin' fast,
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't want to hurt you
And I'm sorry I made you cry, no
I didn't want to hurt you (no I didn't care)
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not need me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn't want to hurt you
And I'm sorry I made you cry, oww
I didn't want to hurt you (no I didn't care)
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
I don't want nobody messing with you, oh no
Jealous guy
Goodnight cheers. Drive carefully home.
Thank you for your time, and your money.

[Instrumental]
....

Early in the morning and I can't sleep
I can't work and I can't eat.
I feel drunk all day can't concentrate
maybe I'm making a big mistake.
Cut me down like a killer shark
It's like a railroad nunning right through my heart.
Jekyll and hyde the way I behave
feel like I'm running on a empty gauge.
O no
not again
it hurts so good I don't understand - infatuation.
Infatuation - infatuation - infatuation.
Heart beats heavy like a big bass drum
losing all equilibrium.
Gets so hard in the middle of the week
maybe this woman's just all I need.
O no
not again
it hurts so good I don't understand - infatuation. . . .
Spirits soar when I'm by her side
she put a little love in this heart of mine.
Maybe I'm lucky
maybe I'm freed
maybe this woman's just all I need.
O no
not again
it hurts so good I understand - infatuation.

The mystery of you and me
Is coloured blue on blue
We wanted more than we could give
We couldn't see it through
You won't believe these words from me
But still they're mine to say
I will always love you In my own crazy way
I tried to keep my sanity
By being someone else
Someone that you could hold on to
I only fooled myself
I knew the part, but in my heart
The role I couldn't play
But I will always love you
In my own crazy way
I know I didn't do the little things
That could make a woman's heart sing, forgive me
And darling if I brought you any pain
I'm trying to explain
In my heart, I was always true
The memories of you and me
Are written on the wind
And sometimes, girl, I'd give the world
To do it all again
And if you need to call me I'won't be far away

(David Bentley)
[A side of Youngblood YB 1017, 1970]
Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand
Yes I am.
In the days between the hours
Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads in to the air
I don't care if I ever know
There I go
Don't push your love too far
Your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream
Did someone bow their head ?
Did someone break the bread ?
Good people are in bed
Before nine o'clock.
On the pad before my eyes
Paper cries, tellin' lies
The promises you gave
From the grave of a broken heart
Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand
Yes I am. Oh.
I sit here in my lonely room
Don't push your love too far
You know your wounds won't even leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream
And don't you forget what I say
Hoo, hoo

(A. Lerner / F. Loewe)
[instrumental]

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss
But more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all
When snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all
When snowflakes fall

Yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah (ooh, ooh)
Yeah, yeah
How can I tell ya how much I love ya
Never put no one above ya
It's just you in my heart
And you're makin' me wild
How can I tell ya how much I need ya
Without you I'm just a bleedin' man
Yeah
So girl, let's ride it
Get excited
I can't deny it
When it feels this good
Yeah, yeah
How high the number
How much I dig ya
Oh, babe, there ain't no figure
It's just you in my heart
You're makin' me wild
How can I tell ya just what I'm feelin'
I'm gonna jump off the ceiling now
And get down
Girl, let's ride it (oh, oh)
Get excited (oh, oh)
I can't deny it (no, oh)
When it feels this real (yeah, yeah)
I long to touch you (yeah)
The way you touch me (please)
Cause then you'll love me, girl
The way I love you, yeah
And baby, I just can't stop cryin' (cryin', cryin')
Since I found you my hearts dyin'
Girl, let's ride it (oh, oh)
And get excited (oh, oh)
I can't deny it (no, oh)
When it feels this real (yeah, yeah)
I long to touch you (yeah)
The way you touch me (please)
Cause then you'll love me, girl

(One more time)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(Girl, let's ride it)
(One more time)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(Girl, let's ride it, yeah)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(You make me feel so good)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(It's all love)

Spent some time feelin' inferior
standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
but I came out looking just the same
Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don't lose your head
to a woman that'll spend your bread"
So I got out
Paris was a place you could hide away
if you felt you didn't fit in
French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
when all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on
Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
at a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that, no no
I moved right out east yeah!
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
by the light of an eastern moon
Shangai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her
I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be
The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
to help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn't have to come here anyway

[instrumental]

(Bob Dylan)
If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine
And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me she has a coat so warm
to keep her from the howling wind
Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long
That it rolls and flows all down her breasts
See for me that her hair's hanging long
'Cause that's the way I remember her bestBut I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
in the darkness of my night
in the brightness of my day
So if you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
'Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine
And she'll always be a true love of mine
And I never, never, never, never give her up

(Sonny Boy Williamson)

Good morning little schoolgirl
Good morning little schoolgirl
Can I come home with
Can I come home with you
Tell your mama and your papa
I once was a schoolboy too
Sometimes I don't know what
Sometimes I don't know what
What in the world
What in the world to do
Oh I don't want to hurt your feelings
Or even get mad at you
At all
I'm gonna buy me an airplane
I'm gonna buy me an airplane
Fly right over
Fly right over town
If I don't find my baby
Ain't gonna put my airplane down
Good morning little schoolgirl
Good morning little schoolgirl
Can I come home with
Can I come home with you
Tell your mama and your papa
I once was a schoolboy too

Porter
Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me
who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
there's such an air
of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .
You gotta make it happen!
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

Silent as a willow tree
This road moves like a, a river to me
Sun goes down on Wisdom Street
Break the glass and throw away the key
Somewhere out where the fates collide (collide)
Cigarettes and candlelight
I sit here in the lone cafe
So stripped away (oh, oh)
So stripped away
Ah, huh€
Huh€huh
Oh, ah, oh, ah
Everybody knows
I'm your street corner Romeo
Everybody knows
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me
Sit with me forever more
Is the draft too cold when they open door
Seem to me whenever you're drunk
And we'll drift away, drift away (drift away)
Ah, huh€
Huh€huh
Oh, ah, oh, ah
Everybody knows (everybody)
I'm your street corner Romeo (oh, yeah)
Everybody knows
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh€)
I feel your heart beat underneath my skin
Like a New Orleans night
But the rain can't get in
So red-hot dig the beat up underneath a cool, cool night
And the glass moonlight of spring
Everybody knows (ooh€)
I'm your street corner Romeo (oh, yeah)
Everybody knows (know, yeah)
You're my Juliet in rags
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
I'm your street corner Romeo, yes, I am
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody knows (yeah)
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh€)
Everybody knows
(I'm listenin' to ya, Charlie)
I'm your street corner Romeo
(Bird is fly high tonight)
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me
Everybody knows [yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]
(Fly away, Charlie)
I'm your street corner Romeo
(I'm listenin' to ya, Charlie) [oh, yeah-eh]
Everybody knows
(Everybody, everybody knows)
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me
Charlie Parker loves me
Charlie Parker loves me

Every day I wake
Every word I speak
Got you on my mind
I've made love to you
And I may not be
The answer to your prayer
Give me just one night
And I'll take you there
I can read your mind
Honey I ain't blind
You want love so hard
It's no federal crime
Chorus:
Someone's gotta tell me
That you're mine all mine
Take me to your river honey
Fracture my mind
I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
I've got my brand on you
I'll be bad for you
When you turn around
I'll be standing there
Anywhere you go
I will follow you
Any place you walk
Any words you talk
I'll be by your side
I won't let you down
(Chorus)
I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
I put my brand on you
I'll be bad for you
Bad for you
Listen to me
Be bad for me
Every day I wake
Every word I speak
Got you on my mind
I've made love to you
When the night gets hot
You're my only thought
Can't control myself
I'll make love to you
(Chorus)
I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
Ain't nothin' you can do
I'll be bad for you
Bad for you
Nothing you can do
I'm so bad for you baby
I'll be bad for you baby

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say
Your friends tell you there's no future
in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
knowing I got a wife and two little children
depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the gentleness of your touch
knowing I got somebody else at home
who needs me just as much
And are you wrong to fall in love
with a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Are you wrong to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
I don't wanna be right
if it means sleeping alone at night
I don't wanna be right
if it means coming home at night
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna never, never, never be right

If not for you, babe, I couldn't find the door
Couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue if not for you.
If not for you, baby, I'd lay awake all night
Wait for the morning light
To shine in through
But it will not be new if not for you.
If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you
And you know it's true.
If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
Oh what would I do if not for you ?
If not for you, winter would have no spring
I couldn't hear the robins sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
Anyway it wouldn't ring true if not for you

Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
I'm starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought the cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
All things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay, oh stay!

They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi ho! Alas!
And also, lackaday!
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess
She's not for me
It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a the marriage knot
And there's

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder
That I'm in the mood for love?
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
And if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Oh yeah
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
And if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
Cause I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood for love

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
it's only a heart beat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you baby
it's only a heart beat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out so hold out and do like I do
When I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
I close my eyes
I hold out my hand and I've got you darlin'
It's only a heart beat away
Now listen
When I need you darlin'
I hold you, feel ya
Give it to me baby
And I miss ya baby
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And I need you tonight
You know it's only a heart beat away

When it's love you give
I'll be your man of good faith
When it's love you live
I'll make a stand I won't break
I'll be the rock you can lean on
Be there when you're old
To have and to hold
When there's love inside
I swear I'll alway's be strong
And there's a reason why
I'll prove to you we belong
I'll be the wall that protects you
from the wind and the rain
from the hurt and the pain
Let's make it all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
the one you need
Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
then just let your feelings show
and make it all for one and all for love
When it's love you make
I'll be the fire in your night
Then it's love you take
I will defend I will fight
I'll be there when you need me
When honor's at stake
This vow I will make
That it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
the one you need
Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
then just let your feelings show
and make it all for one and all for love
Don't lay our love to rest
cause we could stand up to the test
We got everything and more than we had planned
More than the rivers that run inland
We got it all in our hands
Now it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
the one you need
Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
then just let your feelings show
When there's someone that you want
When there's someone that you need
Let's make it all all for one
and all for love

I don't want you
to come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong
my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you said it over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
wake up missing you
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
this time I won't lose control
One look in your blue eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
I don't want you
To call me up no more
Saying you need me
You're crazy if you think
just half your love
could ever please me
Still I want to hold you, touch you
when you look at me that way
There's only one solution I know
You gotta stay away from me
Stay away from me
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
this time I won't lose control
One look in your sad eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
My Heart can't tell you no
I don't want you
to come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong
my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you say its over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell, a living hell
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell, a living hell

What do you want from me
When will you ever see
I gave it all nothing less
The feeling ain't mutual I guess
Why am I so confused
Why do I feel so used
This game at hand was made for two
But somehow I played without you
No I'm not sad
Nothin' lasts forever
Head over heels
Better late than never
Chorus:
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
Telling my friends you're fine
Even our favorite wine
But you're not there and it hurts
Nobody knows how it hurts
Maybe I thought I knew
That I belonged to you
I dreamed a dream I couldn't have
I foolishly let myself dance
Inside your eyes
Oh don't be sad
I should've known better
Why didn't I realize
(Chorus)
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Whenever you call me up
Everything else must stop
My heart says stay but I go
'Cause I need you and you know
You're inside of me
I want you now and forever
Come on back to me
(Chorus)
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me

(R. Stewart, C. Kentis, J. Golub, C. Rojas)
He wakes up in the morning like a newborn baby
The message on the machine says ";you're driving me crazy";
His feet don't touch the ground
he can hardly wait to see her tonight
Now every new song on the radio reminds him of her
He says hello to strangers and he's singing in the shower
The sign in his eyes says this guy's got a problem so nice so nice
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream
When a man's in love when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
He's early on the job and all his friends begin to sense
his attitude has changed he's serene and contented
His feet don't touch the ground he can hardly wait to see her tonight
And he calls her on the telephone about a dozen times an hour
She's flattered by the avalanche of attention and flowers
He tells all his buddies ";Boys, I've finally found someone for me";
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
ain't nothin' too hard or too tough when a man's in love
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
When a man's in love
She dominates his every thought and dream and conversation
He talks about her constantly with an air of jubilation
There ain't nothin' in the world he wouldn't do to make her little face smile
But oh don't it make you want to smile and dance
May God bless us all with a little romance
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
she's in his heart and running through his blood
when a man's in love
When a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger, fly like a dove
when a man's in love
when a man's in love
There ain't nothing he can't do
when a man's in love
when a man's in love

He wakes up in the morning like a newborn baby
The message on the machine says you're driving me crazy
His feet don't touch the ground
he can hardly wait to see her tonight
Now every new song on the radio reminds him of her
He says hello to strangers and he's singing in the shower

There ain't nothing he can't do
when a man's in love
when a man's in love

Can I tell you what you mean to mean
You're as central as the air I breathe
Almost impossible to believe that you're mine
You're like weekends all year long
under a hot Jamaican sun
You are a winner at a hundred to one
yes you are
Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
One in a million oh so rare
a nightengale in Berkeley Square
and baby I ain't goin?nowhere without you
You are the goal that wins the game
the very last bus home in the rain
You're like rock and roll and champagne
all in one
Something you've got is something I need right now
Let's not mess around any more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
I'll be a sleek one of a kind
and so difficult to define
I could drink a case of you any time
The Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower
a national anthem an April shower
tomorrow's fashion and now I've found you
I'm complete
Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
I'm like a schoolboy in your hands
I wanna get up and sing and dance
You see one hell of a happy man standing here
Individually quite unique
You really swept me off my feet
and baby you look oh so neat
with nothing on

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm just waitin' for the heartaches to come
I want to run but there's no place to go
'cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
'Cause you've taking away all my reason for living
When you pushed aside all the love I been giving
Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
Don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
All alone I'm destined to be
with misery my only company
Might come today, might come tomorrow
but it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow
Now don't your conscience kind of bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I done for you
Now hold on a minute
Didn't I treat you right now honey didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
So don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
I want to run but there's no place to go
'cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love that I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
Now don't your conscience kinda, kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry
after all the things I done for you
Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you couldn't I
Didn't I do right by you didn't I
Didn't I screw you right now
Kept you in luxury didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you didn't I
Didn't I treat you right now didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
I'm trying hard not to cry
You know my crying ain't gonna help me now
Without your love the love that I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
So don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love

Sipping a sangria with a girl named Julia
Hot Jamaican sand beneath our feet
She purred like a cat in a Panama hat
She said my passport picture was unique
I said I did impersonations would you like to see
Turned around to buy her one more round
Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
The carnival had passed
and my heart was beating fast
All these married women, it ain't fair
Nervously I said would you like to come to bed
A cold silence pierced the evening air
Instantly she recognized my insecurities
Changing subjects quickly I agreed
Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy, oo baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
Nowhere around
The tourist had all gone, winter's coming on
The hotel chambermaid didn't seem to care
Sharing a pina colada we broke into laughter
I'll never know how we made it up the stairs
We spent the night together
and she woke up in my arms
Kissed me tenderly and said goodbye
Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy, oo baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
Nowhere around
Love always seems to let me down
Maybe I'll wait until next year, next year, next year

(Rod Stewart , 1975/76)
Went downtown on the two fourtynine,
play'n for recognition of the New York town.
See, me and the boys got a rock 'n' roll band;
they were so damn good, gonna lift up the man.
Well, we got ups, we got downs,
we got just so high till the sun goes down.
Got the ego, can be abused;
I got my two-toned shoes,
and I can sing the blues.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
New York town is a meanass town,
we got a thousand bands singin' underground.
Way down in New Orleans it's the same old thing;
emotion'l music a merry old thing.
Old King Soul, he final'y gave us a jolt;
he played the vibes till nine and read from ten to four.
He played upside down, he played inside out;
then a uniform band he was thrown into jail.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
Gettin' hungry I know little woman,
can't get a smell 'cause my nose is blocked.
I'm so high, I can't believe it;
hotel dogs are knockin' on my door.
Two night of singin' nearly out on the end,
left the two parts red, oh what a square.
As soon as the man, there's no sweeter song,
listen, Mc Cartney, we're the band on the run.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
Oh yeah

If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine
And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me she has a coat so warm
to keep her from the howling wind
Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long
That it rolls and flows all down her breasts
See for me that her hair's hanging long
'Cause that's the way I remember her best
But I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
in the darkness of my night
in the brightness of my day
So if you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
'Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine
And she'll always be a true love of mine
And I never, never, never, never give her up

Wasted and wounded
And it ain't what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow
Hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim
of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No-one speaks English
And everything's broken
And my strength is soaking away
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Malitda with me
Now the dogs they are barking
and the taxi cab's parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old bushmills I staggered
You buried the dagger
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I kissed her
And the one-arm bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman
with the cold-blooded sigh
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
No I don't want your sympathy
Fugitives say
that the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnet
and the ghost that sells memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant
She killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And it's a battered old suitcase
in a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No prima donnas the perfume is on
and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street-sweepers,
The night watchmen flame-keepers
And goodnight Matilda too
Goodnight Matilda too.

(Tom Waits)

Sweet Lady Mary has to rest her poor head
Wakes in the morning with her breakfast in bed
I tried to help her, but I did not know how
I tried to love her, but it's all over now
Nothing left to comfort me, except a sunny day
Steal away, steal away
Over the stones along the dusty old road
With every footstep one more tale is told
With every turning one more side to see
Sweet Lady Mary's seen the last of me
A lesson is learnt, I'll never come this way again
I'll steal away, steal away
Her Spanish habits are so hard to forget
The lady lied with every breath, I accept
Was a matter of time before my face did not fit
I knew all along I'd have to quit.
Anyway now, I better not waste anymore of your time
I'll steal away, steal away
I think I'll go back home and start all again
Where the Gulf Stream waters tend to ease the pain
And on a new day when I've mended the wound
Sweet Lady Mary's gate I swear I'll be bound
But before I sit down again and waste anymore of your time
I better steal away, steal away
Ooh-hoo
Steal away-ay.

(Paul Samwell-Smith, James McCarty and Keith Relf)
Shapes of things before my eyes
Has helped me to despise
will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame.
My eyes just hurt my brain
will time make men more sane?
Come tomorrow will I be older?
Come tomorrow maybe a soldier (now listen)
Come tomorrow, maybe I'm older than today.
(Listen to this)
Here within my lonely frame.
My eyes just hurt my god-darn' brain
will time make men more sane?

(Norman Whitfield, Barret Strong, R. Penzabene)
How you doin' Annaheim ? I don't know what else to call ya'. If I knew all your names, I'd call ya' your bloody names.
Here's one that we did when we was here - were many of you here last night ?
Alright, well I changed me shirt anyway - no I haven't - changed me trousers.
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away,
My love has found another, gone away
Withered up my future, my life is filled with gloom,
Day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain.
Curse so badly, I don抰 want to go outside,
Everyone knows that a man ain抰 supposed to cry.
Listen, I抳e got to cry, 'cause crying sheds the pain.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain
Let it rain
Looking down at my tear stained face pressed against the window pane,
But I search the sky desperately for rain,
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops, no one will ever know
When I抦 crying, crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain
Let it rain
Like that number ?

(Sam Cooke)
Well if you ever want to come home to me
I'll still be here waiting
If you ever change your mind
about leaving, leaving me behind
Baby bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
I know I laughed when you left
but now I know that I only hurt myself
Honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
Let me tell you all about it
I'll give you tulips and money too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'd do for you
If you'll bring it to me, bring you're sweet loving
bring it on home to meYou know I'll always be your slave
until I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
I tried to treat you right
but you stayed out, stayed out late at night
but I forgive you
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
Just remember this one thing darlin' that
You, you, you send me, you know this one
You, you know darlin' you send me
And I know that you, you thrill me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
And I wanna tell you one thing that
And I know this one thing that
you send me honest you do, honest you do
honest you do, let me tell you
When I get home you're always there for me
and I know that you're gonna send me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Well you thrill me
Darlin' you're always gonna send me

Set me free why don't you baby
Get out of my life why don't you baby
You really don't want me
You just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on
Why do you keep coming around
playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
and help me to make a new start
Let me get over you
the way you got over me
Set me free why don't you baby
Get out of my life why don't you baby
You really don't want me child
You just keep me hanging on
You never, never, never needed me
You just keep me hanging on
You said when we broke up
you just wanted to be friends
Tell me, how can we still be friends
when seeing you just breaks my heart again
and there ain't nothing I can do about it
You really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me baby
You just keep me hanging on
Set me free why don't you baby
Set me free why don't you baby
Get out of my life why don't you honey
You just keep me hanging on

Here you stand with tears in your eyes
crying into my arms
pleading with me to take you back
teasing me with your charms
But you got a nerve to come round here
after all you've said and done
I thought I had seen everything
obviously I was wrong
'Cause where were you when the sun went down
Skies turned dark and gray
Where were you when the north winds blew
Honey tell me where were you
I heard you were living down in Brazil
with them high class friends of mine
I can't believe I was so naive
Did I never once cross your mind
You told them all I was down and out
My existence you even denied
Oh what pleasure it gives me now
to know that you're bleeding inside
You were my life, you were my breath
You were every move I ever made
But recently my opinion's changed
The joke's on you I'm afraid
'Cause I have a woman so beautiful
For you I could no longer wait
Please go away you may spoil everything
Your love has turned up too late
Go away, go away
Please, please go away
I loved you once
I don't love you now
Please, please go away

Ever since I was a kid at school
I messed around with all the rules
Apologised then realised
I'm not different after all
Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
Valentinos all of us
My dad said we looked ridiculous
But boy we broke some hearts
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
Dumb blank faces stare back at me
But nothing ever changed
Promises made in the heat of the night
Creeping home before it got too light
I wasted all that precious time
and blamed it on the wine
Chorus:
I was only joking my dear
Looking for a way to hide my fear
What kind of fool was I
I could never win
Never found a compromise
Collected lovers like butterflies
Illusions of that grand first prize
are slowly wearing thin
Susy baby you were good to me
Giving love unselfishly
But you took it all too seriously
I guess it had to end
(Chorus)
Now you ask me if I'm sincere
That's the question that I always fear
Verse seven is never clear
But I'll tell you what you want to hear
I try to give you all you want
But giving love is not my strongest point
If that's the case it's pointless going on
I'd rather be alone
'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
Pouring my heart out in a song
Owning up for prosperity
For the whole damn world to see
Quietly now while I turn a page
Act one is over without costume change
The principal would like to leave the stage
The crowd don't understand

By the time you read this letter
I'll be outta your life
Gone forever more
But guess I'll survive
I'm gonna leave my records
And a forwarding address
Ain't you glad honey
That I'm offa your chest
You said you wanted Paris
Rome 'n' St. Tropez
Perfume by Chanel
And a ring by Cartier
But I gave you headaches
With my old fashioned ways
But that's all irrelevant
To what I'm tryin' to say
I'm a fool for you baby
Pride won't let me stay
I'm a fool for you honey
and I'll come back any day
Guess I'll always love you all my life
You can keep your Streisands
Bardots and Lorens
You're my everything
But now you're my end
It may be over
But just before I go
I can make a new start
But I can't mend a broken heart
So when I read about you
In all the national press
On the arm of so and so
I may get depressed
Cause I tried to love you
But didn't fit in
I came on the dust
I'll leave on the wind
I'm a fool for you baby
My pride won't let me stay
I'm a fool for you honey
I'll come back any day
I'm a fool for you baby
I don't care what your friends say
I'm a fool for you honey
And that's the way I'll stay
I guess I'll always love you all my life

Seems like only yesterday
We were laughing like a couple of kids
Fun we had when first met
Ain't been around much since
Sharing every hour every day
Funny how time slips away
But there's no replacement, baby
When the good times fade away
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we change
Oh how soon we changed
You remember Casey's bar
and Maxfields after dark
We were different people then
Inseparable never apart
But now the novelty is wearing thin
We spend most time arguing
It was all so easy then
It'll never be again
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
I thought I knew you inside out
But obviously I was wrong
Makes no difference what I say
We just don't get along
Face the facts it can never last
We're driffing apart real fast
I'd gladly give up everything
to start all over again
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed

The rain poured down the wind swept avenue
On another dark wet December afternoon
All my cherished memories are of you
All my warmth and comfort stayed with you
I would have wrote you a letter
but the telephone calls are free
Cause the boys in the next apartment
Are working all day
They're a great bunch of guys
But I think they're all gay
What am I doing
Avoiding what I'm trying to say
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
With you in my arms
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Send me a naked picture
By the U.S. mail
Write a pornographic letter
You know I won't tell
Keep your legs closed tight
keep your body under lock and key
Stay home at night
And save all the best parts for me
Yeah baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Yes I do baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight, oh
I could be home in time for Christmas
If you want me to be
There's a plane leaves here at midnight
Arriving at three
But I'm a bit financially embarrased
I must admit
To tell you the truth my honey
I haven't a cent
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Tonight baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Guess I'd better ring off
Before the boys get home
My regards to all your family
And everyone at home
There's a lump comes in my throat
And a tear I can't hide
Cause I want to see you so badly
I just may die
And you know why baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
With the ones that I love
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Oh my God I wish I was home tonight
Tonight, tonight
I've been hearing voices
Out on the street
They say you've found some one else
Who's really quite neat
But he doesn't move you like I do
Tell me what I wanna hear
That it just ain't true

Outside another yellow moon
has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
On a downtown train
I know your window and I know its late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way
and watch them as they fall, oh baby
They all having their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

(Glenn Sutton)[B side of Mercury 6052 198, 1972]
It's late and she is waiting, and I know I must go home,
But every time I start to leave, they play another song,
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.

I may not seem your ideal
when you look into my eyes
I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes
I'm not the custom made size
But baby let me take you
out on the highway for awhile
I'll show you where the man in me
is when he doesn't hide
He's cruisin' in the fast lane
stuck behind the wheel
Jekyll and Hyde going on inside
when I'm your automobile
And let me be your car for awhile child
shift me into gear and I'll be there
fill me up with five star gasoline
I'll be your car I'll take you anywhere
Don't you know I can't dance
I don't dig it, I can't see it at all
You say I'm just a specimen
and baby I can crawl
My physique just don't look
the way the physiques really should
But then again I've got an engine
underneath my hood
When I'm cutting up the road
with a sports car on my tail
Frankenstein's inside my mind
and the wind's inside my sails

Your love is fading I can feel your love fading
Woman it's fading away from me
'Cause your personal touch has grown cold
as if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Oh honey I'm losing you
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Oh I'm losing you
I can feel it in my bones
any day you'll be up and gone
Ooh I'm losing you
It's all over your face someone's takin' my place
Could it be that I'm losing you
When I look into your eyes a reflection of a face I see
Oh Lord I'm losing you
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried girl
'cause that face doesn't belong to me
Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Oh away from me
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
ooh I'm losing you
I don't wanna lose you
but I know I'm gonna groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you, and I'm a losin' you
Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'

I didn't know what day it was
when you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon
Breezing through the clientele
spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
the attraction was purely physical
I took all those habits of yours
that in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience
The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
but my heart cried out for you
Chorus:
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance
You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me
(Chorus)
You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found
(Chorus)

(Chuck Berry)
Nineteen years old and as sweet as she could be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock 'n' roll melody
She's the daughter of a well respected man
who taught her how to jerk and understand
then she became a rock 'n' roll music fan
Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Shoulda seen her eyes when the band began to play
and the famous singer sang and bowed away
When the stars were gone she screamed and yelled hurray
Ten thousand eyes were watchin' them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues are screaming out ";More"; and ";More";
About fifteen hundred waiting outside the door
Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller

Friday night she's dressed to kill
Fishnet tights wearing redhigh heels
All the boys say she's cold as ice
I won't sleep until I satisfied
Keep on watching her across the room
Waiting for the band to play a faster tune
I want her number but I'm scared to ask
I wanna dance and I want her ass
Why the fuck is she ignoring me
I don't know what's wrong with me
Dance with me
She won't dance with me
Why won't she dance with me
She won't dance with me
Dance, dance, dance, dance with me, yeah
Why won't you dance with me
Come on dance with me
Dance, dance, dance, dance with me
Here she comes floating down the street,
Sythesised eyed wearing cellophane jeans
Practiced in the art of sexuality
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
Got a hard on honey that hurts like hell
If I don't ask her somebody else will
Dance with me,
( No, don't wanna dance with you)
Why won't you dance with me
( Why should I dance with you)
Dance, dance, dance please dance with me baby
(I won't dance with you
I won't dance with you
Why should I dance with you
I won't dance with you
Dance, dance, dance)

Started out like any one of you
Good intentions and a degree
But one hot night under the neon lights
Killed a boy just seventeen
Now I sit here rainin' on my Maker
Reprieve is all I'm praying for
Lord I fear the hangman's steps approachin'
Will the priest knock gently on my door
And I know I've let my daddy down
and I broke my mother's heart
I'd give anything turn back time again
Just give me one more start
I don't need no trial humiliation
Just tell me that I'm heaven bound
I don't want no two faced consolation
What use is that to me six feet underground
I'm going down to the engine shed
Put a gun up to my head
Blow myself into the promised land
We call it scarred and scared
And if you ever see my son again
Don't let on just how I fared
Tell him, tell him I went down big and strong
I was never, never, never scarred or scared
All the girls that once did gather 'round me
have moved along to someone else
Sitting here desperation is my close friend
What I'd give to kiss one of them now
Oo yeah I'll take you there
I'll take ya there

You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No no they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we dance till three
The way you change my life
No no they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
Yeah yeah yeah
We may never never meet again, on this bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we dance till three
The way you change my life
No no they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
No they'll never never never never take that away from me

Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat or that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with all them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid 'cause this rover crossed over.
If I never had a cent, I'll be as rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street, sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with all them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid 'cause this rover crossed over.
If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockefeller

Smile
Though your heart is aching
Smile
Even though it's breaking
When there are clouds
In the sky,
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile
And maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun
Come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Smile
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Keep on smiling
Oh yeah
Smile
Never, never, never stop smile

Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
Well maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose
Maybe I'm in for crying the blues
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow I know at a glance the terrible chances that I'm taking
Fine at the start that left with a heart that's breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give so much more than I get
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow I know at a glance the terrible terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start but then left with a heart that's breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart.
There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss.
For your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start.
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart.
There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss, oh yeah.
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start.
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
You, dream maker, you, heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me.
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend

This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go.
Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely then happy with somebody else.
You might find the night time, the right time for kissin'
But night time is my time for just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else.
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue.
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
Have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else, nobody else.
Oh yeah.
(Leave me, baby)
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue.
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
So have it today andgive back tomorrow
My love is your love, there's no love for nobody else

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut tree
The wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
Cause I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes
Yes I only have eyes for you

I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart
Oh oh oh my heart
If I stand alone will the shadows hide the colour of my heart
blue for tears,black for the night,fears the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go
Like a ripple on a stream
So love me, tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
Tomorrow may never come

Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me.
Fill my heart with song and let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.
In other words, please, be true
In other words, I love you.
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me.
Fill my life with song and let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.
In other words, please, please, be true

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What its of, what its of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know
You're loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon

I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart

After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy I awake
With no Bromo Seltzer handy,
I don't even shake.
Men are not a new sensation;
I've done pretty well, I think.
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Listen, baby
I couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart but what of it?
My mistake I agree.
Oh she's such a laugh, and I love it
Although the laugh's on me.
Oohh I'll sing to him
Bring springs to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Oh you're so cute
Oh she's kept enough, she's slept enough
And yet, where it counts she's adapt enough
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
When he talks he is seeking
Words to get off his chest.
Horizontally speaking
She's at her very best.
Oh we've seen a lot
I mean a lot
And now we're like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Oh, we're vexed again
Perplexed again
Thank God we can't be over-sexed again

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Times don't change, right?
Sing it to me, Latifah
Oh, I'm singing it to you right now
Cause we're talking about
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
As time goes by

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you

(James Harris III, Terry Lewis)
Driving down
From the Highland Line
We'd done some gigs
On the Clyde of the Tyne
They flew us in
From a Hamburg strip
The taste of Dusseldorf
Still on our lips
And on the bus
There's a friend of mine
We go way back
To the scene of the crime
Sit up front
And share a cigarette
And try to remember
What we tried to forget
He said, "do you remember"
He said, "do you recall"
I said, "Yeah I remember
Oh I remember it all"
*Everytime the cold wind blows
Everytime I hear the sound
Late night trains
Shuntin' down by the river
I remember Windy Town
We've come so far
And we moved so fast
Makin' haste
See it all grow past
Round the world
And around again
Up and down
On that gravy train
** Everytime the cold wind blows
Everytime I hear the sound
East coast crosswinds
On the cold wet stone
I remember Windy Town
I've seen it all before
The freezing corners
And the empty streets
The burning passion
And the cold wet feet
Three tricky miles home every night
Dodging from the shadows
Underneath the overlights
Nocard for kissin'
And nowhere to go
'Cept inside each other
And I love you so
I held your face
As you shivered in the rain
Girl, I'll ALLWAYAS LOVE YOU
AND I´LL love you again
Oh everytime, yeah everytime
(*Repeat)
(** Repeat)
There it goes, there it goes
Windy Town

I tried to do the things in my own way
I tried to do what people say
but I was going nowhere fast
And now I'm turning to you at last
(1) What do you want me to do
What so you want me to do
What do you want me to do, Lord
I can see the lights of home
But I can't get there on my own
I can see the landing strip
But I need you to guide my ship
[Repeat (1)]
I've been a fool and I've been a clown
I've let the enemy turn me around
I've wasted love and I've wasted time
I've been proud and I've been blind
There's such a lot of things to change
A whole world to arrange
And if you show me how
I'll begin right now
[Repeat (1)]
What do you want me to do, Lord
What do you want me to do, Lord
'Cause I'm listenin'
I'm listenin'
Lord, I'm listenin'
I'm listenin'

What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

Stand here ev'ry night,
I'm wearin' my number,
but she said wear it,
touching up another fool.
In a jukebox job downin' blues
in her leopard-skin anklehigh boots
while I'm jackin' off
readin' Playboy on a hot afternoon.
I'm a three time loser.
Caught it up in Monterey,
shook it up in East Virginia,
now my friends say it's here to stay.
How dare you have a party
in a Chelsea basement
when the poor excited Jezebel said come outside.
She felt me up and kissed my face,
put her dirty hands down in my pants.
She took all of my money,
left me naked by the silvery moon.
I'm a three time loser.
Caught it up in Monterey,
shook it up in East Virginia,
now my friends say it's here to stay.
Roll away, roll away, all of you women;
I don't think I need you anymore.
There'll be no more doctor's bills,
there'll be no more swallowing pills.
And I've found a woman
that can witness that in blood out of me.
I'm a three time loser.
Caught it up in Monterey,
shook it up in East Virginia,
now my friends say it's here to stay.
I'm a three time loser.
Caught it up in Monterey,
shook it up in East Virginia,
now my friends say it's here to stay.

The Best Of My Love
[Originally by The Eagles]
Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin'
To give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love, oh
Sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
I'm goin' back in time
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be all right
If I could go on sleepin'
But every mornin'
I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way
And I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn't enough
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Every night and day,
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love..

(J. Rod)

Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy
Hey think the time is right
for a palace revolution
Where I live the game to play
is just to compromise my solution
What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man
Hey did I tell you that my name
was called disturbance
And I'll shout and scream
and I'll kill the king and
I'll rail at all his servants
What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no place
for a street fighting man
Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy
What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man

I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, who can say
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away?
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night far away?
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say, who can say
We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free

Single file in the girls corridor
Come along, Stewart laddie!
Stewart boy, you'll never be much,
'cause you're too busy acting the fool.
Thank you Sir for them few kind words,
on my last day of school.
Oh, but my mama said, I could be a success,
if I'd only get myself out of bed.
Words of wisdom, but I wasn't list'ning,
I had plans in my head.
Only a boy,
trying it on,
coming on strong,
restless to roam,
only a boy,
silly and proud,
reckless and loud,
impressing the crowd,
only a boy.
Rock'n' Roll was in my brain,
Eddie Cochrane running through my brain.
Skin tight trousers in council houses,
the unemployment exchange.
The blues I played were Mississippi made
and ev'ry Friday night I'd fall in love.
Football fields and teenage pills
nothing's enough.
Only a boy,
dressing to kill,
passion to spill,
hand in the till.
Only a boy,
slipping it in,
thin as a pin,
chasing a dream,
only a boy.
climb down off the school roof laddie
Oh and them dukes of freedom, I used to believe them,
and all their rebelious vows.
The critics, the cynics, who never understood it,
where are they now
And all the wondering and the stumbling
that goes hand in hand with change.
The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning,
or am I still the same
Only a boy
laughing aloud,
quick as a shot,
nobody can stop.
Only a boy,
plans of his own,
leaving his home,
knows where he's going,
only a boy.
only a boy,
only a boy,
only a boy, ha ha, oh

Missing You
[Originally by John Waite]
Missing you...
Every time I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart
Tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you,
No matter what my friend's missing
And there's a message that I'm sending out,
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance,
Stop this heartbreak Overload
I ain't missing you,
I ain't missing you,
I can lie to Myself
And there's a storm
That's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you,
No matter what my friend's missing
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I can't lie to myself
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I'm lying to myself
Oh yes
I ain't missing you
Missing you...

(Danny whitten, 1977)
I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been cryin' forever,
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.
The stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
For the morning sun in all it's glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you make it better
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one
And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do

Hang on St. Christopher
Through the smoke and the oil
Pumpin' iron around the scene
Let the radiator boil
Got no back down shift
And a two dollar grill
Got an '85 cab
......
(1) Hang on St. Christopher
On the passenger side
Open it up tonight
So the devil can ride
Hang on St. Christopher
With a ballast door
Kick me up ...
Throw me out in the fog
Tell ... Jack ...
Drive a stake through his heart
Do a hundred on the grapevine
Do a jump on the start
Hang on St. Christopher
Now don't let me go
Get me to Reno
And bring it in low, low
Hang On St. Christopher
With the hammer to the floor
Put a highball in the crankcase
Nail a crow to the door
Give me a bottle for the jockey
Give me a two ...
There's a certain ...
Bustin' down Johnny's door
[Repeat (1)]
Let the devil ride
Let the devil ride
Let the devil ride
Hang On St. Christopher
Now don't let me go
Get me to Reno
Got to bring it in low
Put my baby on a flatcar
Tell 'em to burn down the caboose
Get 'em all jacked up with whiskey
And we'll turn the mad dog loose
[Repeat (1)]
Let him ride, let him ride
Let him ride, let him ride
Let him ride, let him ride
HAng on St. Christopher
Through the smoke and the oil
Get me to Reno
And bring it in low, low ...

Everyday I get up
And drag myself out of bed
While you're still sleeping
On your tummy
With your long legs spread
Call me a copy cat
Dressed
Kiss you good-bye
I'm like a lion in winter
I don't want to say good-bye
I'm trying to pull
On my socks
You get me horny and hot, darling
That's why I'm late on the job
(1) You're delicious
You're delicious, babe
You're delicious
Just keep on doing
What you are doing
Doing
Doing to me
Ah, yeah
You're like a cold beer, darling
On a long-hot summer's day
Yes, you are
You're the words I'm planning
Five part Chekov play
You make a rich man poor
And make a blind man see again
You're ......
As hard as diesel train
And while I'm driving to work
You spill all over my shirt
You're just a wonderful flirt
[Repeat (1)]
'The Old man' line ain't gonna
Take you from my side
I've had the new caviar
Fort Wall and pink champagne
I've seen the Mona Lisa
Drank the wine in France and Spain
I've smelled the rose of Finnland
Tulips of Amsterdam
I've heard the crew line coal train
The bells of Notre dame
But you know what honey
You fill me up
With desire
You've set my soul aflying
Lifted me down to the wire
[Repeat (1)]
Gimme one time
[Repeat (1)]
Please, bass guitar

I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
till I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five
I lost both my mother and my father
Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor
Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness
which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun
And that ain't all
A homeless child for the next five years
with my dog Clown by my side and my only friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I fought my way through school
Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend
And you know what the, the, the kids
down my street weren't too playful
And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me
And ah yeah
I worked my fingers to the bone
Stretchin' hide for a boot man in Jersey Town
But then, but then I lost the last thing I had
When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog Clown
I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman
Sixteen years old and felt like a woman
But, but, but, but, but what I'm trying to say is
God please don't take her away from me
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
Tread my name into the dirt yeah
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
What could I do
I never knew how much love could hurt me
But it never ever come my way before
No, no, no, no, no
I never knew how much love could hurt me
Good God it ain't never come my way before
Oh but, but you know what I'm trying to say
really what I'm trying to say is
God please don't take her away from me
Ah turn it down
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
You got a lotta lotta lost everything
that I ever had ever had

Went downtown on the two fourtynine,
play'n for recognition of the New York town.
See, me and the boys got a rock 'n' roll band;
they were so damn good, gonna lift up the man.
Well, we got ups, we got downs,
we got just so high till the sun goes down.
Got the ego, can be abused;
I got my two-toned shoes,
and I can sing the blues.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
New York town is a meanass town,
we got a thousand bands singin' underground.
Way down in New Orleans it's the same old thing;
emotion'l music a merry old thing.
Old King Soul, he final'y gave us a jolt;
he played the vibes till nine and read from ten to four.
He played upside down, he played inside out;
then a uniform band he was thrown into jail.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
Gettin' hungry I know little woman,
can't get a smell 'cause my nose is blocked.
I'm so high, I can't believe it;
hotel dogs are knockin' on my door.
Two night of singin' nearly out on the end,
left the two parts red, oh what a square.
As soon as the man, there's no sweeter song,
listen, Mc Cartney, we're the band on the run.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
Oh yeah

Been in pain and I've been in shame
But ain't love a bitch
I been in fights, locked away for nights
But ain't love a bitch
I been tailed, impaled, strung up
and nailed and left without a stitch
I been scratched 'n' taxed 'n' finally axed
But ain't love a bitch
Oh I didn't understand till I was seventeen
She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean
Oh I didn't realize she made a first class fool out of me
Oh Maggie if you're still out there the rest is history
You're all alone in the freezing cold
by the underground
Your hands are numb and you're feeling dumb
cos you been let down
You thought you were rough and kinda tough
and maybe out of reach
You're acting chic, playing hide 'n' seek
But ain't love a bitch
Oh I must state right here I been there before
My eyes were closed and so my friends
I still don't know the score
Oh don't underestimate the strength of it
It may be unwise to analyze even the cause of it
You're driving home late one night and on the radio
Comes an old familiar song you used to know so well
(you know a lot about that)
Oh I can't comprehend this thing called love
Maybe it's a matter of fact I just can't grow up
Deep down ain't we all a little juvenile
All I really wanna know is there one sweet angel
that can make me smile
Ain't love a bitch
Torrential rains, wars and hurricanes
I wouldn't budge an inch
Your rent's unpaid and your team lose again
But ain't love a bitch
You can lose your job, your home and your health
But ain't love a bitch
Take it or leave it some day you'll feel it
'cos love is the bitch
Ain't love the bitch, ain't love a bitch
Ain't love a bitch, ain't love a bitch
Ain't love a bitch

Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby’s head
Ah bright lights, big city
They’ve gone to my baby’s head
Well I tried to tell you woman
But you don’t listen to what I said
Alright, pretty baby
You’ll knock yourself out some day
Oh alright, pretty baby
You’ll knock yourself out some day
Well I tried to tell you woman
But you don’t listen to what I say

(hopkins, wood, stewart)
I’ve woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as I’m thinking now
Every night for a year I’ve slept alone
My cold damp room looks worse than me.
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won’t die soon but then again I might
Just like water down the drain I’m wasting away
And oh, doctors can’t help. a ghost of a man, that’s me.
I’m going far
Ah, ah, ah
And oh, water down the drain flows to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-hauntin’ me
Like moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Comes on down to the ground as time goes by.
Ah, ah, ah
Please don’t weep for me when I’m gone
Ah, ah, ah
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won’t die soon but then again I might
Please don’t weep for me when I’m gone
Ah, ah, ah
A fear of death that creeps on every night

[Instrumental]

It must have been Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been Moonglow,
That led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin'
Dear one hold me fast,
And I start to prayin'
Oh Lord, please let this last,
We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you
That Moonglow gave me you
We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you,

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate cause
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you woman
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

***THIS IS SIR ELTON JOHN***
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
(Chorus)
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
(Chorus)

I don't like you but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh, you treat me badly, I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I don't want you but I need you
Don't want to kiss you but I need to
Oh, you do me wrong now, my love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do is
Just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter, tighter
I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, I wanna split now, I can't quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do is
Just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You've really got a hold on me
I said you've really got a hold on me, baby
You've really got a hold on me
Oh, you've really got a hold on me
I said you've really got a hold on me

(Ian McLagan, Ronnie Lane)
My mom she likes you
She thinks your swell
Got the makings of a dance hall girl
Your lowcut frock and your birds nest hair
Stepping up heels and the way that you smell
She says to take you back
To see my folks again
On Sunday
Why it looks as though theres nobody in
They've all went out to see my Auntie Renny
Don't you worry you just come right in
I'm sure we'll pass the time til they come home
Well let me take your coat
Take off your shoes, warm your toes
Try the sofa
Its getting dark we'll miss the late night bus
It's only eight but I'm not taking any chances
Whats that noise why'd they come back so soon
Straighten your dress you're really looking a mess
I'll wet my sox pretend we just got caught in the rain
Oh your so rude

(willie dixon and j.b. lenore)
You know you shook me,
You shook me all night long, yes you did.
You know you shook me,
You shook me all night long.
And the way that you love me baby, (you know what you do? )
You mess up my happy home.
(dig this)
You know you love me,
Just like a hurricane.
You know you love me,
Just like a hurricane.
And the way that you love me baby,
You mess up my happy home, (you’re so bad).
Come on ...

Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me

(rafferty/egan)
I can look out my window
Or stare at the wall
It really didn’t matter
Na, I just didn’t care at all
Could be sitting by the water
Counting every stone
But nothing means nothing
When your empty and on your own
Cause you put something better
Inside of me
You put something better
Inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
I’m amazed at the change in me
Well I knew what I was doing
I was running away
Busy going nowhere
Just wasting the time of day
I was walking down the road
Kicking at the stones
Nothing means nothing
When your empty and on your own
Know why?
You put something better inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
I’m amazed at the change in me
You put something better inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
I’m amazed at the change in me
You made me so much stronger
I’m amazed at the change in me
Take me home

My love, I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you filled with gratitude and love
God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you make me feel brand new
My love, whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend, with you I'll always have a friend
Someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends
Without you life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay you for having faith in me?
God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you, you make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you, for you
I'll sing it to you, darling
I'll sing it to you everyday

(Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Kenny Jones, Tetsu Yamauchi, Ian McLagan)
Hey baby, I wanna say somethin' to ya', listen
Sometimes when I get out of my head
And I say all the wrong things
Sometimes I know I stay out late at night
And I get back fighting, hey babe
Somehow all my plans
Keep slippin' through my hands
And I end up crying, but listen
I can be a millionaire
Honey when you're standing there
You're so exciting
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, and I love it
Sometimes I wanna get up so early
And get away from here girl
Summer's gone, and before long
North winds blow, that bring the snow
I'll keep us warm girl
My schemes it seems, are merely dreams
Fading with each morning, hey babe
But this old heart of mine
Is far too proud not to keep on tryin'
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, yeah baby
Ah yeah
So little bird don't fly away
Want you here every day
Don't ever leave me
I'd rather lose both my eyes
Than never see your smiling face again girl
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
Hey babe
Keep on loving me babe, yeah
Keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving, ooh babe
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling, darling, darling, darling
Ha ha
Woww, alright
Hey baby
Oh darling
Keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling

(bob dylan)
There was a wicked messenger, from eli he did come,
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him he answered with a thumb.
For his tongue it could not speak but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall, it was there that he made his bed.
And often times he could be seen returning. oh oh
Until one day he just appeared with a note in his hand which read,
"the soles of my feet, I swear they’re burning".
Ooh hoo hoo
The leaves began to falling and the seas began to part,
And the people that confronted him were many
The leaves began to falling and the seas began to part,
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told these last few words which opened up his heart,
"if you cannot bring good news, then don’t bring any"
Oh oh
If you cannot bring good news, then don’t bring any
Oooh hoo hoo hoo
And opened up his heart
Oooh hoo hoo

[B side of Columbia DB 7766, 1965]
You know it ain't right to beat a man when he's down
Know it ain't right to eat when the hunger's around
It keeps on worryin' me, as all around I see
And still it goes on
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
You know it ain't right to take another man's life
You know it ain't right to take another man's wife
Keeps gettin' through to me, as everywhere I see
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
They don't want love today
It's headin' all the way
They'll burn your book and pencil boy
Throw your mind away
A man don't steal, but has to work for his pay
(let me tell you one thing)
A poker man deals from the top when he plays
But all good things we take
We don't build, we just break
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
They don't want love today
It's headin' all the way
They'll burn your book and pencil boy
Throw your mind away
A man don't steal, but has to work for his pay
(let me tell you one thing)
A poker man deals from the top when he plays
But all good things we take
We don't build, we just break
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ? yeah

Well I arrived on time
My courduroy suit and me bottle of wine
There were women wall to wall
It's Saturday night and I wanted them all
everyone
Sidled up for a dance
I tried a new step and fell in the plants
I told a joke, about the Pope
It wasn't as funny as I would've hoped
Nobody told me she was the daughter
of the mayor
I was so embarrassed, I just wished the
ground would swallow me up
Accidentally my elbow hit the record player
The rock 'n' roll stopped
and everybody just stared
(oh no)
Who's gonna take me home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
Who's gonna take me home
This party's gone right to my head
I didn't worry, not me
Panic ain't in my vocabulary
Smashed beyond reproach
Suddenly I wanted to take off my clothes
All hell broke loose
I started to take off my trousers and shoes
And so I tried to look cool
I stepped back and fell in the pool
The hostess helped me out
and asked for my dismissal
I said I was sorry, but I've been
under so much pressure
just lately, baby
I felt as popular as a Russian guided missile
The last thing I remember, I left with a girl
on a motor bike
That weighed three hundred pounds and
what's wrong with that
Who's gonna take me home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
Who's gonna take me home
This party's gone right to my head
to my head
I woke up on the floor
Still in my suit and she told me I snored
I never felt so cheap
I had a good laugh at the size of her feet
Holy Moses, I don't like this single living
I think I'll find me a nice local girl and
settle on down, now
With a home and a garden
and a nature quite forgiving
Then again maybe I'll just hang around
Who's gonna take me home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed, right now
Who's gonna take me home
This party's gone right to my head
to my head
Now who's gonna take me home
Hey Brian could you give me a lift 'cos I don't live
too far from you, boy
Mary c'mon I've known you so long please give
me a lift home, oh c'mon
Jim oh c'mon boys would you just
give me a lift home
I don't live too far from here and I'm so tired

(R. Stewart, K. Savigar, J. Davis)

It's late and she is waiting, and I know I must go home,
But every time I start to leave, they play another song,
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, maybe
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving but going nowhere
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, help me please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love, there's a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday, I know I've gotta find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now, I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone who cares
I'll be looking everyday, I know I've gotta find a way
What becomes of the brokenhearted?

Can I tell you what you mean to mean
You're as central as the air I breathe
Almost impossible to believe that you're mine
You're like weekends all year long
under a hot Jamaican sun
You are a winner at a hundred to one
yes you are
Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
One in a million oh so rare
a nightengale in Berkeley Square
and baby I ain't goin?nowhere without you
You are the goal that wins the game
the very last bus home in the rain
You're like rock and roll and champagne
all in one
Something you've got is something I need right now
Let's not mess around any more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
I'll be a sleek one of a kind
and so difficult to define
I could drink a case of you any time
The Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower
a national anthem an April shower
tomorrow's fashion and now I've found you
I'm complete
Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
I'm like a schoolboy in your hands
I wanna get up and sing and dance
You see one hell of a happy man standing here
Individually quite unique
You really swept me off my feet
and baby you look oh so neat
with nothing on

(Yeah! Clap your hands!)
We're havin' a party

[a side of columbia db 7766, 1965]
The day will come when out of empty space
A flash of fire will light the children’s face
Hopelessly, their last tears they will cry
Be too late to ask our leaders why
The day will come, a day of sorrow
A day we’ll see them strollin’ out to tomorrow.
The song of life that once we knew so well
Will not be heard as we’re led into hell
Death is close, yes I can see the sign
And down your street the blood will flow like wine
The day will come, a day of sorrow
A day we’ll see them strollin’ out tomorrow
The day will come and swallow up the sun
We can’t escape, we’ve got nowhere to run
The generals must be found some work to do
The medals must be bought by me and you, yeah
The day will come of pain and sorrow
And we’ll see them strollin’ out tomorrow
The day will come
The day will come
The day will come

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she might be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
Outside I'm masquerading, inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown, just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, the tracks of my tears
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Pay-day Friday and the weekend's here,
I've been workin' all week tryin' to pay for this gear
gonna raise Hell on Union Street,
thirteen guys and a packet of three.
And if I don't get laid I'll sure die tryin',
tonight this city's gonna be all mine.
I wanna talk about motorbikes, cars and things,
no sophistication or designer jeans.
I'm no angel, but I know what I like,
a little rough and tumble on a Friday night.
I'm like a cornered rat, I gotta explode.
Goodbye baby don't know when I'll be home.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
By eleven o'clock I'll be flyin' high,
ain't nothing in the world that I won't try.
Jimmy got smashed, took his trousers off,
Barman said, You boys have had enough.
Join the army, get yourself a decent job.
Indecent exposure in a parking lot.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
[instrumental verse]
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
Bundle on the dance floor, a jaw got bust.
Swear to God that it wasn't one of us.
A seven foot bouncer called the police,
we got pulled in for disturbing the peace.
Well if you can't take a joke
then there ain't no point in living,
Sunday morning I woke up laughin'.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
What d' you say?
Tora, Tora, Tora, where's my old man?
Tora, Tora, Tora, where's my old man?
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
playing fast, ain't it

(ron wood/rod stewart)
Too bad we was thrown downstairs
You never got a chance to sing
We were quite polite
With one invite
To keep us off the streeet
We mingled for a minute or two
With the high class clientele
And then somebody said who invited them
Them that crowd of refugees
What an insult to be shown the door
Before we could shake a leg
I was most intrigued by the colored queen
Bleeding on the kitchen door
Then I was ushered with my friends
By the butler who was twelve feet tall
Well let me please explain
That were not to blame
We just don’t have the right accent
No, no
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh you know it’s a shame
I was always getting the pain
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh you know it’s a shame
How we always get the blame
Twenty girls, damp hotels
Is where I’m gonna stay
Cause now I see what it’s all about
I didn’t at the old school side
Don’t worry we had more fun
Waiting for the all night bus
Too bad my regional tongue
Gave us away again

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although I may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
But to her heart
I carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although I may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
But to her heart
I carry the key
And this world would be like heaven, if she'd
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me

(Barry and Robin Gibb)
with Booker T. & the MG's (1975)
There's a light,
a certain kind a' light
that never shone on me.
I want my life to be, to live with you.
To live with you.
And there's a way, ev'rybody says,
to do each and ev'ry little thing.
But what does it mean
if I ain't got you, if ain't got you?
'Cause you don't know what it's like
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you.
If I pray
I see your face again;
But I know not where to find
You ain't got to be so blind
I'm blind, so very very blind
I'm a man,
can't you see what I am?
I move heaven and earth for you
But what does this man do
if he ain't got you, if he ain't got you?
'cause you don't know what it's like, baby,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you, I love you, I love you
'cause you don't know what it's like, baby,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you, I love you, I love you, ha
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Oh baby
you don't know what it's like
you never never know what it's like
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you, I love you, I love you
yeah
you never, never know what it's like,
honey
ooh baby
I love ya, I love ya, I love ya
God almighty, I love ya

(rod stewart, ian mclagen)
I don’t need no one’s opinion
On the matter concerning my dress.
I was raised in a clinic down in oklahoma,
There were many things I did not possess.
Well I never complained, because my father said,
"son you get your chance before you’re my age".
Then he took me upstairs and gave me this suit
(? ) written all over his face
He said, "others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you’re goin’"
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down
Hold on a minute
Now I had my fair share of neat women,
But they came between me and my suit.
That was a filly from boston, a barmaid from houston,
Not forgetting the one in detroit.
They said, "we like you boy and we think you’re sweet,
But can’t you lose your suit? "
I said, "nononono, you can’t do that to me"
I remember what my father said:
He said, "others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you’re goin’"
Three button hand me down, ha ha,
Three button hand me down
I’ve never been a tidy dresser
And the fold in my trousers it ain’t straight.
Still I know a good cloth when I see one.
That’s why I’m clad in this gray flannel suit.
Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor
And get myself a smooth outfit.
Then I remember what my father said to me.
I make it from the open road, you all know this
He said, "others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you go"
Three button hand me down,
Three button hand me down, ha ha

Down below on Baker Street
Lay your head back
On this field of dreams
And close your eyes
There's a few that find love
On Sundays down by the sea
And they wash clean like angels
High above the waves so free
I have no words to say to you
I have no dream to take you to
I have no ring for you to kiss
Baby, all I have is this
Pray for grace
Keep the faith
Walk on down the road
Wait for me, look for love
Are you fearless, reckless
Homeless and all alone
Can you make love, heal things
Make my heart go wild again
(1) I have no words to say to you
I have no dream to take you to
I have no ring for you to kiss
Baby, all I have is this
I have no way to hold you now
I have no time to show you how
I have no gold, nothing to risk
Baby, all I have is this
And she says
It doesn't matter anymore
There's a few that find love
On Sundays down by the sea
And they wash clean
Like angels' wings
High above the waves so free
[Repeat (1)]
All I have is on my sleeve
All I want is your sweet love, baby
All I saw was open space
Walk down the road
Fearless, fearless
All I have is this

This is an instrumental by David Rose Orchestra and was popular in the early 1960's. Rod Stewart used it as an introduction to many of his concerts with the Faces. Rod Stewart and / or Faces never recorded it.

In these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a friend of mine
Georgie boy was gay I guess
nothin' more or nothin' less
the kindest guy I ever knew
His mother's tears fell in vain
the afternoon George tried to explain
that he needed love like all the rest
Pa said there must be a mistake
how can my son not be straight
after all I've said and done for him
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems
Georgie went to New York town
where he quickly settled down
and soon became the toast of the great white way
Accepted by Manhattan's elite
in all the places that were chic
No party was complete without George
Along the boulevards he'd cruise
and all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved Georgie boy
The last time I saw George alive
was in the summer of seventy-five
he said he was in love I said I'm pleased
George attended the opening night
of another Broadway hype
but split before the final curtain fell
Deciding to take a short cut home
arm in arm they meant no wrong
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue
Out of a darkened side street came
a New Jersey gang with just one aim
to roll some innocent passer-by
There ensued a fearful fight
screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night
The sight of blood dispersed the gang
A crowd gathered, the police came
An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third
Georgie's life ended there
but I ask who really cares
George once said to me and I quote
He said Never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it's too late
You may never get another chance
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
live it long and live it fast
Georgie was a friend of mine
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'cause if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst

You always said living with me was impossible
Try it I said just like the wind I'm changeable
We ain't got money but we sure got laughs
lots of loving too
So I confess on my behalf
you're giving me honestly
the best days of my life
Your whispering girls said don't be a fool
don't give into him
He's an animal treat you like dirt
then he'll turn you in
You two are not compatible
It'll never never last
They said I wasn't even suitable
But you're giving me honestly
the best days of my life
Sometimes I wonder
why does she bother with me at all
So staid in my ways
Let's face it my dear, I'm insufferable
The crazy nights spilling into days
with all my noisy friends
But they all love you as much as I
Giving me constantly
the best days of my life
And a day without you at this point my dear
seems unthinkable
A night without you more often
than not is unbearable
But if it all can't work out
one can never never tell
In my heart there is no doubt
you gave to me unselfishly
the best days of my life
But if it all can't work out one can never never tell

(Swaying back and forth)
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
(Chorus)
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times, and bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
So by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
(Chorus)

(Ron Wood/Rod Stewart)
Sit right down if you can spare me a minute
I got a tale thats bound to break your heart
Concerns my brother who's thin and played violin
Got it in his head that an IQ is all you need
He went his way I couldn't discover mine
I didn't worry if I ever saw him again
He's made a profit while I don't even own a pocket
And the last I heard he was sitting at the top of the tree
Wait a minute
Late last night reading my underground press
Came a knock on the door thought it was the third world war
Lord above I did not recognize him
I said have a cup of coke here maybe thats all you need
He said the smell of the city
Kid it's trying to kill me
My eyes are getting muddy
Christ I'm aging fast
My kind of music I knew it wasn't gonna to be simple
But have a quick listen kid maybe thats all you need
Don't stop you make me feel much better
Tell me my brother do you think that's all I need
yea yea
Don't it make you happy
Well, well, well, well, well
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
(repeat and fade)

(stewart)
By the time I was home
I was feeling bad
Never the less I go mine
Straight out of bed
I was feeling my head
But i’m
So, tired I just got to get home
So, tired I just got to get home
Surely it’s time
You should face the facts
I’m not the one that you need
I don’t need to feed you
Or need you or lead you im
So, tired I just want to get home
So, tired I just wanna get home
I’ve never been one
For just putting around
Keep it in my trousers all night
Surely I’m right
When you stay out all night
And i’m
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna, wanna,
Wanna go home
And you know that your
Out of your depth my dear
When you take home
Someone like me
Its been such a long time
I can hardly stay out
And i’m
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna go home
And I’m so

(ronnie lane)
May the smile on your face
Come straight from your heart
Takes a lady like you
To write that for me
To wake up with you
Makes my morning so bright
Wipes the sleep from my eyes
When you tell me your dreams
And it goes on and on
Way beyond and out of reach
It’s a well known old secret
Go and tell everyone
Tell everyone
The smile on your face
Comes straight from your heart
If you look you will find
And you wrote that for me
Ooh-hoo-hoo

Well the pressure's down,
the boss ain't here
he's gone North for a while
They said that vanity
Got the best of him
But he sure left here after sundown.
By the way, that's a cute hat that you're wearing
And that smile so hard to resist
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
You know I once knew a woman who looked like you
She wanted a whole man, not just a half
She used to call me Sweet Daddy, when I was a child
You kind of remind me of her when you laugh
To deal in this game, you must make the queen disappear
It's done with a flick of the wrist
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
You know a woman like you should be at home
It's where you truly belong
Watching out for someone who loves you true
Who would never never do you no wrong
Just how much abuse you can take? - Well,
There's no way to tell by that first lonely kiss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
You know you could make a name of yourself
You can hear those tyres squeal
You can be known as the most beautiful woman
Whoever crawled across cut glass to make a deal ...
You know the news of you has come down the line
Even before you came in the door
They say in your father's house there's many mansions
Each one of them got a fire-proof floor
Snap out of it Baby, people are jealous of you
They smile in your face, but behind your back they hiss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
Got to be an important person to come in here honey
Got to have done some evil deed
Got to have your own harm when you come in the door
Got to play your harp until your lips bleed ...
They say patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel claime
Steal a little, and they'll throw you in jail
Steal a lot, and they'll make you a king
There's only one step down from here Baby
It's the land of the permanent bliss -
So what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?

Nineteen years old and as sweet as she could be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock 'n' roll melody
She's the daughter of a well respected man
who taught her how to jerk and understand
then she became a rock 'n' roll music fan
Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Shoulda seen her eyes when the band began to play
and the famous singer sang and bowed away
When the stars were gone she screamed and yelled hurray
Ten thousand eyes were watchin' them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues are screaming out More and More
About fifteen hundred waiting outside the door
Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller

Here we go babe putting each other down
I don't know how long this love will last
if we keep kicking it around
We threaten each other with leaving
neither one of us giving in
We're walking on thin ice baby
I don't wanna see it end
And oh I've never let any woman this close to me
Don't let me down
put in some trust don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
I can't stand the silence
when we don't get along
Both of us believing
that the other must surely be wrong
So strange how two people
can be so very cruel
Both of us should know by now
neither one's the other one's fool
And oh I've never let any woman this close to me
So don't let me down
put in some trust don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
Oh I've never let any woman this close to me
So don't let me down
Why don't ya put in some trust
don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
Strangers again
I don't know what happened
Strangers again
Yesterday was full of passion
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go

(ron wood, ronnie lane)
Well I shake and I shudder and I shiver
In my bath while it’s cold and my windows are broken,
As my poor dog lays a-chokin’ on the floor.
Well I cried to my father and my mother,
There’s no justice divine, I wonder when I get mine.
’cause I’m so sick and tired of waitin’ for the lord.
I find just what it is I’m looking for
Ooh hoo hoo
Oh yeah
There’s a man that wants to show me the river.
Hoofing at five I’ll be more dead than alive.
I find a reason to survive when I’m too old.
Should I walk in the lightning and the thunder
On a hilltop so high and show my face to the sky ?
Will I find just what it is I’m looking for ?
I find just what it is I’m looking for
I find just what it is I’m looking for
I find just what it is

I was told by a good friend
you were untouchable, out of my reach.
But the first time ever I saw you,
I spilled my cherry lime over your dress.
You said, Don't you worry, it's not my best one.
First encounter, hardly the best.
But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
I still love you.
Didn't I try to impress you,
but my old Chevy van kept breakin' down.
And my one room over the drugstore,
we watched the neon lights go out over town.
And some nights we'd go out dancin',
come home singin' by the Erie Canal.
two hearts gently poundin'
as that mornin' train came janglin' through.
But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
I still love you.
Well darlin', didn't I promise
I'd never go so far away again?
But here I am writin' this letter;
goodbye to you, my love, see you again.
But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
I still love you.

No one looks as I walk by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to her again, again and again
First she took my heart then she ran
No one knows just how I feel
What I say unless you read between the lines
One girl walked away from me
First she took my head and then she
Take me home.
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's all right, it's all right
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
Do not turn away my friend
Like a river I can bend
No one calls out my name
And no one came
So I walked on down the line and waited for you
Maybe your protected from all that you do
One girl, did not call
She asked me for my love and that was all
Stand back, Stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
So I walked on down the line and waited for you
Maybe your attention was more than I could do
One girl, did not fall
She asked me for my love and that was all
Stand back, Stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
Gotta find a little sympathy ....
Try and ask me anything....
Gotta find a little sympaty....
Can I find a little sympathy.....

(beck, stewart, wood)
I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a foundry
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a "so long!"
Long spanish boots on a "so long!"
I took a day job in bethlehem
I nearly threw in the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a "so long!"
High spanish boots on a "so long!"
Dig it
I took a spanish haberdashery
Restored with 15th century tapestry
But oh, mr. nesbitt got the best of me
So I strapped on my boots and said "so long!"
Laced up my high boots and "so long!"
Goodbye
... am on a job you see
’cause my old boots they mean too much to me
Leather boots are just a mystery
Put on my boots and said "so long!"
High spanish boots on and "so long!"
Put on my boots and said "so long!"
Those old spanish boots
Put on my boots and said "so long!"
High spanish boots

No one ever told me, no one ever said
No one ever loved me, till I was goin' outta my head
No one ever listened, to the things I tried to say
You gave me everything I needed, that's your way
You gave me hope, you gave me love
You gave me faith to carry on
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
No one ever held me, as good as this before
No one ever stopped me, when I was runnin' out of the door
You set me free, you made me shine
You gave me arms to make you mine
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
Love made me so gun shy
Don't say, don't say another word
Love feels so radical
That I lose my way, when you're here by me
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
Good God have mercy on me (have mercy)
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
(I wanna be together soul on soul this time)
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby (believe me, baby)
Don't ever leave me lonely
(Don't ever, ever leave me)
I wanna be together soul on soul this time (soul on soul this time)
Good God have mercy on me
(Good God have mercy on me)
Don't you desert me, baby
(Don't you desert me, baby)
I wanna be together soul on soul this time (soul on soul this time)
[Believe me, baby] (ooh, ooh) believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
(I wanna be together soul on soul this time)

(1) Soothe Me, Baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your eyes
Though I know
Your powerful loving is
Soothing to me
I used to hire a lot of girls
Hot and big and small
Since I meet this baby of mine
I don't want mother girls at all
(2) Soothe me, baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
Though I know your powerful loving is
Soothing to me
Oh, how I used to ramble
Oh, how I used to roam
Since I found this pretty little baby
All I want to do
Is stay at home
At home
[Repeat (1)]
One more time, man
(3) Soothe me baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
Though I know
Your mama don't like it
It's soothing to me
Oh, once I was a worried man
I was drinking night and day
Now, I've got this angel by my side
All my worries have drifted away
[Repeat (3)]
Soothe me, baby
Soothe me, baby
Soothe me, baby
[Repeat (2)]

You ask me if I love you
and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
in what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all it's strategy
leaves me battling with my pride
But through all the insecurity
some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
and hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
and I know how hard you try
I watched while love commands you
and I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
still searching for a friend
a brother or a sister
but then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold ya till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
Subsides

(rod stewart, ron wood)
Wait a minute honey
I don’t think the joke’s so too funny, no
I stayed up all night
Checking out the doctor’s guide
Wait a minute honey
Stop pretending you’re a bunny
Well I might’ve guessed
You been to see a specialist.
I remember you said
That we gotta keep a breast of time
But obviously you don’t know where to draw the line, well
Don’t try to tell me it’s a-what you been eating
Since when have you been forty-four around (get on with the song, yeah)
Dig this, at the moulin rouge tell you baby, we could knock’em dead
Just sign right here all I need is ten per cent.
Well, now you make me feel like a pimp in the white house
For a senator’s daughter you’re stealing all the headline news,
All the headline news.
Oh shake me, shake me, shake me up all night long
We all need a laugh and I guess you’re just the one
Well you got more front than haig museum
Oh home grown silicone you really got the best of me
You got the best of me

People were standing, all around
At a shot gun wedding, here in this town
And I'm a victim oh yea
of a shotgun wedding
Cause your fathers got a gun
and there ain't no place to run
Shotgun wedding and oh listen to me
Well I got to find a job
You, me, baby makes three
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, wedding oh yea
Cause your fathers got a gun
and there ain't no place to run
Shotgun wedding
And all I could hear that day was
Do you take this woman
to be your lawful wedded wife
my my my my shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun wedding
I looked around
I looked around
and all I could see was a shotgun wedding....listen
But I tried to run from town
but her mother tracked me down
She said before I meet my maker,
some mans gonna make an honest woman of my daughter
so it might as well be you
Oh daddy may be poor
but he owns a forty forty
Shotgun wedding
and oh I'm walking up the aisle right now
Here comes the bride singing
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun.....yea yeaaaa
I could of run away oh no I could be living high
Nobody could stop me now oh shotgun, shotgun
Just give me one more chance
Let me hear that bass boys that bass boys
breaking my heart
breaking my heart
breaking my heart........

Lyrics and Music: Nick Lowe
Shelly my love
I only long to be where you are
Shelly my love
Now and forevermore
Shelly my love
When I see you I catch fire
And soon I'm all aflame
I feel it start
Whenever you call my name
All around I feel a passion
That thrills my very soul
I put it down
To that I love you so
Shelly my love
I only long to be where you are
Shelly my love
Now and forevermore
Shelly my love
Oh Shelly my love
All around I feel a passion
That thrills my very soul
I put it down
To that I love you so
Oh Shelly my love
If this time I'm into somethin'
That is not of this world
The love I've got
It's supernatural, girl
Shelly my love
I only long to be where you are
Shelly my love
Now and forevermore
Shelly my love
Shelly, my love
Shelly, my love
Shelly, my love

Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
but if you've ever waited for the sun
you know what it's like to wish daytime would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Hard times are only the other side of good times
but if you ever wished hard times were gone
you know what it's like to wish good times would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Help me, seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
You know it makes me sad
seems like a long time, seems like a long time
seems like a long, long time
War time is only the other side of peace time
but if you've ever seen how wars are won
you know what it's like to wish peace time would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seems like a long, long time

Secret heart, what are made of
What are you so afraid of
Could it be three simple words
Or the fear of being overheard
What's wrong
Let her in your secret heart
Secret Heart, why so mysterious
Why so sacred, why so serious
Maybe you're just acting tough
Maybe you're just not bad enough
What's wrong
(1) Let her in on your secret heart
This very secret
You're trying to conceal
is the very same one
You're dying to reveal
Go tell her how you feel
[Repeat (1)]

Look at all the problems
That we've been through
How can you tell me
That there's somebody new
I don't believe that I'm hearing this
I don't really think that you're serious
Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way I've nothing left
You can take my heart but don't steal my pride
Think it over before I'm pushed aside
And tell me
Say it ain't true
That's all you gotta do, baby
Say it ain't true
Well I thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
It's going to hurt when I set you free
I've been loving you too long
You're a part of me
So tell me
Say it ain't true, Tell me baby
Say it ain't true
Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me
And tell me
Say it ain't true
Say it ain't true
Tell me baby
Say it ain't true
I love you baby
I love you baby
I just want to do right by you honey
Wouldn't do you no wrong

(Hopkins, Wood, Stewart)
I've woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
My cold damp room looks worse than me.
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon but then again I might
Just like water down the drain I'm wasting away
And oh, doctors can't help. A ghost of a man, that's me.
I'm going far
Ah, ah, ah
And oh, water down the drain flows to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-hauntin' me
Like moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Comes on down to the ground as time goes by.
Ah, ah, ah
Please don't weep for me when I'm gone
Ah, ah, ah
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon but then again I might
Please don't weep for me when I'm gone
Ah, ah, ah
A fear of death that creeps on every night

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)
No matter how long it takes, baby
It would never be a day too long
All the mistakes I made
And the games that I played
Didn't know I was needin' you so bad
But I never thought that I would feel so lonely
And I never thought that I would feel so sad
I wanna run back into your arms tonight
I want you back here where you belong
I wanna take back all of those lies I told
I was wrong, so wrong
And now you're gone
Oh, yeah
Now you're gone
Just give me another chance, baby
To show you how much I really care
All that I put you through
I never knew
Didn't know I was makin' you so sad
Baby, now that you have given me a reason
And the time has come for me to understand
I wanna run back into your arms tonight
I want you back here where you belong
I wanna take back all of those lies I told
I was wrong, so wrong
And now you're gone
Now you're gone
Ooh, ooh
But you never miss the water till the well runs dry
But ya left me cold and lonely
And I know the reason why
I wanna run back into your arms tonight
I want you back here where you belong
I wanna take back all of those lies I told
I was wrong, so wrong
And now you're gone
Now you're gone
And now you're gone
All alone
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I miss you, baby
I wanna run back to your arms
Sometime
Yeah, hey, babe
And now you're gone
Now you're gone
And now you're gone

Ever since I was a young boy
I played the silver ball
from Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen anyone like him
In any amusement hall
that deaf dumb and blind kid
sure pays a mean pin ball
He stands like a statue
becomes part of the machine
feeling all the bumpers
always playing clean
he plays by intuition
never seen him fall
that deaf dumb and blind kid
sure plays a mean pin ball
he's a pin ball wizard
there has to be a twist
the pin ball wizard
has gor a supple wrist
How do you think he does it ?
I don't know
What makes him so good?
He ain't got no distraction
he can't hear the buzz and bells
he don't see lights a flashing
he plays by sense of smell
always gets the replay
the digit counter falls
that deaf dumb and blind kid
sure plays a mean pin ball
he's a pin ball wizard
there has to be a twist
the pin ball wizard
has got a supple wrist

(ronnie lane)
I wish i
I wish I was in richmond
I do, I would i
I wish i
I wish I was back home
I’m waitin’ here in new york city
The rain is falling
There’s no one who cares
There’s no one loves me here
The women
They may look very pretty
And some they know it
But some look good
They show a leg and smile
But they all look like the flowers
In someone else’s garden
I’ll not act on love
For anyone but you
Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm

[instrumental]

I picked her up about a quarter to nine
My brother told me I was wasting my time
A woman like that'll only cause you confusion
but go ahead you may find it amusing
She came to the door wearing a suit and tie
her hair cropped short I couldn't figure out why
Rebel heart don't be a loner
Rebel heart I'm your lover
Rebel heart I wanna discover
where you from and where you belong
and everything that turns you on
I wanted to dance but she flatly refused
I told her jokes but she was not amused
Tried to kiss her but she wouldn't stand still
Started thinking this was overkill
Next thing I know I was flyin' for cover
it was her steady girlfriend and a live-in lover
Rebel heart why don't you try it
Rebel heart you can't deny it
Rebel heart you may like it
I'll change your mind if you'll give me time
about everything that's on your mind
I stayed awake all last night fantasizing about you baby
You know I'd walk a million miles across broken glass
or a red hot Arabian desert
if I could just have one night in your long brass bed
Evening wound up on a very sad note
I drove her home and then she went for my throat
She said, it's fairly obvious I ain't attracted to you
You bore me to tears honest you do
And by the way I can't stand your British
I said, don't start something, honey, you know you can't finish
Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart I'm glad I met ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
where you're from and where you belong
and everything that turns you on
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me I knew that it had to be
I'd lift you up with my own arms honey
I can't get enough
I'd walk down Fifth Avenue entirely naked
I promise I won't drink, swear, womanize
I'd go to church every Sunday
for just one night with you
Rebel heart I'm your lover
Rebel heart I wanna discover
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart I'm glad I met ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
Oh yeah oh yeah
Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
Oh yeah oh yeah

I gave trust like an innocent kid
I believed everything you said
A parasite that fed on doubt
yeah it's you that I'm talking about
You rode heavy on my fame
then you scandalized my name
You robbed me blind with a ( )
You lacerated your closest friend
I don't know how you sleep at
night with your conscience
Do they still kiss your feet
and is life as sweet in my absence
I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live
I don't want no sweet revenge
it'll come and get you in the end
Laugh now while the truth's unknown
cause pretty soon it'll be my turn
One of these days and it won't be long
I will find you
Lock up your gates
you'll need all of your snakes
to defend you
I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live
I'm bitter now, but wait and see
You ain't heard the last of me
I'll dance on your grave
when they finally put you away
What'd I do to deserve all this evil attention
A thousand years will never buy you redemption
Are you ready now, ready now for what you gotta give
Are you ready now, ready now for how you gotta give
Are you ready

Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin' it's all right
A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
And I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs are flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over this world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just gotta play the game, play the game
I find me a place in a box car
So I take my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine
But it's a rainy night in Georgia
Baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Kinda lonely now 'cause it's rainin' all over the world
It's rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin'
Rainin' all over the world
I'm cold and I'm lonely and it's rainin'
Rainin' all over the world
It's rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin' all over the world

(rod stewart, ron wood)
Sweatin’ hard, I didn’t get a shower
All I did was stand around and get too hot
Knowin’ all the people walkin’ on my side
Losin’ all my money and I’m killin’ time
Ol’ bill he come a-runnin’ like he’s gettin’ some
Makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun
I don’t mind but he wants my lady too
You know the crowd gets bigger
As the word goes ’round
Pool hall king was playin’ back in town
Minnesota fats standin’ up at the back
Tryin’ to hide himself in a plastic mack
You ought to hear the silence
When the kid walks in
His reputation’s bigger than gasoline
I don’t mind but he’s tryin’ to fill my lady too, ha ha
Pool hall richard
You’re far too wicked we know, ha
Pool hall richard
Kid you’re wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do
With your yellow carnation
And your pink satin shoe
You make me jealous, but I worship you
One day soon I’m gonna beat you clean
Wipe that smile right off your chin
Everybody gonna drive from miles around
Cuein’ up to see me take away your crown
Then you’ll never never ever take my lady then
Get out
Pool hall richard
You’re far too wicked we know, ha
Pool hall richard
Kid you’re wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do
Dig this
Bam goes the brown, that’s another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you’re so obscene
Your hands are dirty but your scent is clean
Bam goes the blue, lock away your cue
The pool hall king is hustlin’ you
Bam goes the 8-ball, didn’t see it spin at all
This kid can play, oh yeah
Bam goes the brown, ooh another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you’re so obscene
Your hands are dirty, your scent is clean
Damn the pink, one more to sink
Gonna beat you someday
’cause you’re makin’ me sick
Down on the black, at the back of the pack
Aw, you nearly missed, you ain’t so hot
Pool hall richard
Kid you’re wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do
You’re breakin’ my heart
But you’re stealin’ my tart, no no no
Shut up

Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you, then they use you before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.
The can-can such a pretty show
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
you're just twinkling with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way, ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.

Single file in the girls corridor
Come along, Stewart laddie!
Stewart boy, you'll never be much,
'cause you're too busy acting the fool.
Thank you Sir for them few kind words,
on my last day of school.
Oh, but my mama said, I could be a success,
if I'd only get myself out of bed.
Words of wisdom, but I wasn't list'ning,
I had plans in my head.
Only a boy,
trying it on,
coming on strong,
restless to roam,
only a boy,
silly and proud,
reckless and loud,
impressing the crowd,
only a boy.
Rock'n' Roll was in my brain,
Eddie Cochrane running through my brain.
Skin tight trousers in council houses,
the unemployment exchange.
The blues I played were Mississippi made
and ev'ry Friday night I'd fall in love.
Football fields and teenage pills
nothing's enough.
Only a boy,
dressing to kill,
passion to spill,
hand in the till.
Only a boy,
slipping it in,
thin as a pin,
chasing a dream,
only a boy.
climb down off the school roof laddie
Oh and them dukes of freedom, I used to believe them,
and all their rebelious vows.
The critics, the cynics, who never understood it,
where are they now?
And all the wondering and the stumbling
that goes hand in hand with change.
The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning,
or am I still the same?
Only a boy
laughing aloud,
quick as a shot,
nobody can stop.
Only a boy,
plans of his own,
leaving his home,
knows where he's going,
only a boy.
only a boy,
only a boy,
only a boy, ha ha, oh

Mike reid, troy seals
Call me a fool
Send me away
I’ve got to say
It’s you I adore
Alone and in love
Falling apart
I followed my heart
Straight to your door
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If you’d give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you never had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
Call me baby
Standing this close
The sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice
Am I so worng
To think ( )
’cause baby you’re all
You’re all I’m thinking of
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If you’d give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you’ve ever had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
One night with you
In all honesty
Just one night
To lay in your arms
Just one, just one night, that’s all I want baby
Oh yeah

I don’t care who is watching
Don’t mind what the surfing heads might say
And though I may not be no charlie atlas
Gonna take my shirt off anyway
Now skin and bones sits easy on the high tide
And I’m not one for castles in the sand
I’ve seen a girl I once knew from the east side
I think I spy a bottle in her hand
I think I spy a bottle in her hand
I don’t need to know your birthday
’cause what you tell her I don’t claim to be
There’s a place I know of called the tick tock
Won’t you come and take a walk with me
Won’t you come and take a walk with me
Didn’t take too much hard work to get her
Melted like a chocolate in my arms
If ... had ever seen it better
It never did the scenery no harm
Never did the scenery no harm.

When the blue shirts run out in Argentina
Our hearts will be beating like a drum
And your nerves are so shattered you can't take it
Automatically you reach out for the run
But there really isn't any cause for panic
Ally's army had it all under control
It's not merely speculations
It's not just imagination
To bring the World Cup home is Scotland's goal
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
We got Dalglish, Buchan and Macari
We got Archie Gemmill, Johnstone and McQueen
We got Big Joe Jordan waiting at the middle and the best support
This world has ever seen
We got Donachie, Rioch and Don Masson
We got Andy Gray and Asa Hartford too
And with this lethal combination it's a fair estimation
That the World Cup will be ours the end of June
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Oh, Brazil, this time I don't think so
Holland without Cruyff just ain't the same
Germany will, we feel, be a challenge
The Italians can still play the game
But there's really only one team in it
We'll be singing as we'll get off of the plane
We are bound for Buenos Aires, we don't care just what they tell us
Only wish we had Danny McGrain
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Willie Johnstone, then it goes to Dalglish. Lou Macari supporting. There's on opener, defended by Buchan, there's Kenny Dalglish in there. Oh, what a goal! Oh, yes! That does it!
They'll be singing up there in Aberdeen and Dundee
Glasgow will be reaching fever pitch
Cause with a nation of five million we're gonna really turn the heat on
Cause we invented football anyway
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there Yes, we are
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there

Old man river, that old man river,
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.
He don't plant tater's,
and we all know he don't pick cotton.
But them that plant 'em, are soon forgotten, that
Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.
You and me, we sweat and toil,
Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain, now listen!
Lift that bar, you'd better, tote that bail,
And if ya' get a little drunk,
You'll land in jail.
I'm so weary, and sick of tryin',
I'm tired of livin', but afraid of dyin'.
That, that god-darn' old river, he just keeps rolling along.
Keep on rollin' along.
Keep on rollin' along.
Old man river don't you stop your way.
Keep on runnin' from the north, the south, the east or west,
you gotta roll it ...

Once I lived the life
of a millionaire
Spending my money
Oh I didn't care
Taking my friends out
For a mighty good time
Oh we'd drink that good gin
Champagne and wine
But oh just as soon
As my money got low
I couldn't find nobody
And I had no place to go
And if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on
Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Lord have mercy
Yeah, yeah, now listen
Now in your pocket
There's not one penny
And all of them good friends
You found out you haven't got any
Nobody come around
But the landlord and the taxman
Your ex-wife who says
She wants more alimony
Then there's a knock on the door
And it's a woman you don't know
Says she's having your baby
She'll walk on in
But oh just as soon
as the money roll in
Here they all come sayings
That they're you're long lost friends
But if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again
I believe, I believe I'll hold on
Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody, nobody, nobody

If there's doubt and you're cold,
don't you worry what the future holds.
We've gotta have heroes to teach us all
to never give up on a dream.
Claim the road, touch the sun,
no force on earth could stop you run.
When your heart bursts like the sun
never never give up on a dream.
Shadows fall, daylight dies,
freedom never got a place to hide.
Search forever photo finish line
but never give up on your dream.
Crazy notions fill your head,
you gotta break all the records set.
Push yourself until the end
but don't you ever give up on your dream.
Now listen to me
you don't need no restrictions yeah
Oh, sing it again
you can't live on sympathy.
You just need to go the distance,
oh the distance
that's all you need to be free,
to be free, to be free, to be free.
Sing a song for me children
you don't need no restrictions yeah
you can't live on sympathy.
You just need to go the distance,
that's all you need to be free,
Now listen to me!
Inspiring all to never lose,
it'll take a long long time before they fill your shoes
it'll take somebody, somebody, who's lot like you
who never gave up on a dream.
No, you never gave up on a dream
no, you never gave up on a dream.
You never, never, never,
never gave up on a dream.

I've been told it's just a matter of time
before you meet someone who opens your eyes
But time's on my side so nevertheless
I know the pain of too much happiness
Chorus:
It's all part of my way of giving
and I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
and what more would you have me do
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
and if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you honey, you must surely realize
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes
(Chorus)
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
and if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you honey you must surely realize
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes
(Chorus)

(ron wood, rod stewart, ian mclagan, 1973)
Take me like you find me
Don’t try to change me
You know better than that
Take me as you see me
Don’t try to hide me
I ain’t used to that
Shout it out loud
Put a bomb in a crowd
If I got something to say
There’s nothing that can stop me
I can’t let it lay
If I have to fall on my head
Every night of the week
It’s gonna be my fault,
No one else
If everything goes wrong
When I’m singing my song
It’s gonna be my fault
And no one else
There ain’t nothing you can do about it
I’ve sat and thought it over,
Don’t try to help me
I was just born this way,
Yes I was born this way
I ain’t gonna change for nobody,
Never, never gonna change
So if everything goes wrong
And I drink all night
It’s gonna be my fault
And no one else
People don’t change just over night
It ain’t natural, so don’t
Break it kindly,
Don’t hypnotize me
I just won’t understand
Take me like you find me
Don’t try to change me
You know better than that
Oh don’t you know better than that
Oh don’t you know better than that
Say I’m just a fool, that’s alright
Never try to change me
Or rearrange me, oh yeah

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Oh, yeah, I know, I know, I know
I remember
When I was only seventeen
The bohemian poet
And dosciple of the streets
Or was I just a little kid
Searching for identity in '63
Heard it on the radio
On a cold December night
It came burning down the air waves
Like a savior's shinin' light
All the way from the U.S.A.
Across the Atlantic far away
The magic came
The house began to rock
With Cupid and his bow
The hootchy kootchy man's
Lonely harp began to blow
Little did I know that
nothing in my life
Would ever be the same
Stayed up all night
Playin' every 45
Tryin' to sound like you
Strummed my guitar in bed
Till my fingers bled
Tryin' to play like you
(1) Thank you, Sam, thank you, Otis
Thank you Muddy
For the sounds you made
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Otis
Thank you, Muddy
For the times we shared
And they carry on
I saw Otis back in 1965
Tears in my eyes
As he sung 'These Arms Of mine'
But angels needed a soul man
For the celestial blues band
They took him home (took you home)
Oh, what I'd give to see
That red mohair suit and hear
'Dock Of The Bay'
Or Sam in his two tone
Singin' 'Bring It On Back Home'
What a show that would be
[Repeat (1)]
If I sound sentimental
It's because this blue-eyed soul boys
Got so much respect
My gratitude to you
Runs deep, proud and true
I will never forget
(2) Thank you, Sam, thank you, Otis
Thank you Muddy
For the sounds you made
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Otis
Thank you, Muddy
For the times you gave
[Repeat (2)]
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Sam
Thank you, Otis, thank you, Muddy
You'll never, never fade away ...

It's obvious darlin'
you've become allergic to me
Are my trousers to wide
Do I drink and get mean
Is my demeanor that embarrassing
Are my jokes obsolete
Or is it my sweat that's no longer sweet
I work hard in the factory
to keep you in luxury
to which you've grown accustomed and you love
Lately you don't light my fuse
Is my fan belt coming loose
Punch me in the Bible baby please
Move me, move me, move me when I'm home
Why don't you move me, move me
move me when I'm home
Sometimes baby I awake in the night
I reach out to touch you
but I'm scared you might bite
A little emotion wouldn't be out of place
Wake up and love me put a smile on my face
Otis Redding said it best try a little tenderness
Aretha wanted more Respect
Give me just a little touch
that ain't really asking much
your dog gets more attention than I do
Move me, move me, move me when I'm home
Come on and move me, move me, move me when I'm home
Sometimes I wonder if you'll miss me at all
emotionally independent, as hard as a wall
You're so wrapped up in your own little world
your old time religion is your lunch with the girls
When I'm standing next to you even in a crowd
I might as well be on another planet
Tell me what I've done to you to justify this ridicule
if it's over why don't we forget it
Move me, soothe me, move me, rock me
move me when I'm home
Why don't you move me, love me, move me, rock me
move me when I'm home
Why don't you rock me, move me, love me, soothe me
move me when I'm home
Why don't you rock me, rock me, move me, soothe me
soothe me when I'm home

Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey.
Please walk me out in the morning dew, sometime.
Can’t walk you out in no morning dew. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
Can’t walk you out in no morning dew.
Thought I heard a young man cryin’.
Thought I heard a young man cryin’ today.
You didn’t hear no young man cryin’.
You did not hear no young man cryin’.
Thought I heard a young girl cryin’.
Thought I heard a young girl cryin’.
You, you did not hear no young girl cryin’.
I’m sorry but you know it is [true].
You did not hear no young man cryin’.
Now there is no more morning dew.
Now there is no more morning dew.
What they’ve been saying all these god-darn’ years has come true,
I knew it would too.
Now there’s no more morning dew.
Now there is no more morning dew, at all, oh.
Now there is no more morning dew.
Because, because, because,
What they’ve been saying all these years has come true,
You know, and only you know,
That there’s no more morning dew.
Now, now there is no more morning dew.
People, you know that there’s no more morning dew.
Because, because,
What they’ve been saying all these years has come true,
It had to happen.
You know, that there’s no more morning dew.

Hey pal, let me lean on you and talk awhile
Your planes been delayed by the rain
Or something
I wouldn’t even fly away
If I had one good reason to stay
But you said
If you don’t need my love
I’m gonna find someone who does
And I’m not hanging around
This old heart is far to proud
She got tired of me
Staying out late everynight
I’d fall up the stair
Thought she’d always be there
But suddenly I’m alone
And I’m not accustomed to sleeping alone
She said if you don’t need my love
I’m gonna find someone who does
You’ve stripped me of everything
And you’ve torn down all my dreams
Its been two long weeks
Since she’s been gone
Thought I had her in the palm of my hands
She said I’m through, don’t try to call me
Cause you won’t even find me
Cause if you don’t need my love
I’m going to find someone who does
And the heartache you’ve give me
You’ll get it back just wait and see
Well, well, well, well
I’d give anything to hold her in my bed again
I just wanna feel her breath on my back
She said my blood can’t give her love
No way
She said if you don’t need my love
I’m gonna find someone who does
And I’m gonna take our child
Cause I don’t want him running wild
Hey pal, I think they just called out your flight
Put down your glass don’t forget your boarding pass
And if your looking or you found love
Or sunshine thats enough
Don’t play hard to get
Cause that ain’t where it’s at
Give her all your love
Place her high above
I missed you baby
I missed you baby
Yea I missed

(Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart)
Miss Judy she was moody
Owned a sweaty farm in old Alabam
I was just 18, crude and mean
All I needed was to get my own way
Get out of my way
Miss Judy she could have me
Any hour of the working day
She'd send me in the corn field mid afternoon
Said son its all part of your job
Miss Judy had a cross eyed poodle
That I would kick if I was given the chance
Never was amused by the kindness I used
I was whipped in the barn until dawn
It hurt me
Last summer we was restless
Were gonna make a stand and burn down your farm
But it was all in the head
Cause out in the yard
Miss Judy had the National Guard
We was beaten, before we started
Miss Judy she was moody
And she always didn't get her own way
Just state the facts, get it right
Kick her when she's down

In a couple of hours I'll be drivin' home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me
It was only an hour or so ago that I sang my song
Persuaded painted ladies that I could say I'd been free
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me
Mine is always, mine is grand
Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands
And can't you see that it's mine for me
And in a couple of hours I'll be driving home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me
Over the mountain and under the sea
They'll never be another one like mine for me
You're for me
Mine is always, mine is grand
Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands
And can't you see that it's mine for me
They'll never be another one like mine for me
They'll never be another one like mine for me
They'll never be another one like you for me

Long distance information
Give me memphis tennesee
Help me find the party
Trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number
But I know what place to call
Because my uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall
Help me information
Get in touch with my marie
Shes the only one who’d phone me here
From memphis tennesee
Her house is on the south side
High upon the ridge
Just about a half a mile
From the mississippi bridge
Last time I saw marie
She was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks
That trickeled from her eye
Marie is only six years old
Information please
Try to put me through to her
In memphis tennesee

and if you don't know it, I really don't know where you've been,
so you should know the tune. Here we go!

Maybe I'm afraid of the way I'll leave you
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you fool me all the time
You hung me on a line
Oh baby, I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby, I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby, you're the only woman that could ever help me

Baby, I'm a man, oh baby, I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he does not really understand
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby, you're the only woman that could ever help me
Baby, won't you try to understand
There you go, heh
Baby I'm amazed, the way I really need you
Alright. Just about warming up and getting into it right about here.

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and prob'ly raised
Your mother says I am a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there's one promise darling
I'll see you on God's golden shore
Through this open world I'm about to ramble
Through ice, snow, sleet and rain
I am about to rob the mornin' railroad
Perhaps I'll die on that train
I'm goin' back to Colorado
Place that I started from
If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me
Honey I never would have come

It’s hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives
Now so empty inside and feeling no pain
Waiting for a hammer and a big ball and chain
They can tear it all down and build something new
But only I remember what was here
Tomorrow comes easy just another day gone
How hong will I have to keep returning
Now I look back think I’ve known all the time
I’ve been finding myself for so long
All the vows that we made
Count for old bags of lumber
Disappear on the cart down the road

Been hurt before, lost many wars
And you realize the danger you’re in
You given your heart to make a new start
You’re taking a chance you’ll get hurt again
Don’t be afraid, it don’t have to be that way
Remember, that, love, love in the right hands
Is like sunlight burning through in the morning sky
I said, love, love in the right hands
Is such a powerful thing so put your hands in mine
I’ll be there for you, I’ll help you get through
When the pressures of this will surround you
You know it will rain but ( ) from the pain
You’ll find shelter in my arms around you
But don’t be afraid, you gotta have faith in me
Remember, I said, love, love in the right hands
Is like sunlight burning through in the morning sky
I said, love, love in the right hands
Is such a powerful thing so put your hands in mine
And I will always try
I promise you I’ll never let you down
Will ever make you cry inside my heart
We’ll always be together, I’ll be true to you forever
All of my live
And I will always try
I promise you I’ll never let you down
Will ever make you cry inside my heart
We’ll always be together, I’ll be true to you forever

There has to be a reason
Why everyone speaks bad of my baby
I think I know that reason
And it is oh so sad
They say she walks the streets
But that's not strictly true
She's got a lot to eat
And she's not as rich as you
She's just a little miss understood
That's all
Everyone needs somebody
To get them through that time
You may not love that someone
As much as I love mine
But if she walks the streets
Does that condemn her soul
Or is heaven so complete
it rejects a heart of gold
She's just a little miss understood
a little miss understood
A little miss understood
That's all
And if she walks the streets
Does that condemn her soul
Or is heaven so complete
it rejects a heart of gold
She's just a little miss understood
a little miss understood
She's just a little miss understood
That's all
And if she walks the streets
Does that condemn her soul
Or is heaven so complete [fade]

Wild thing!
Should've known better
With a girl like you
You satisfied my every need
What a little heartbreaker
You turned out to be
Prettiest face I've ever seen
Oh dance little sister, you turn me on
You make my blood run hot
Killer legs in that short black dress
Baby, you was born to rock
I don't mind you foolin' me around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messin' me up
I tell all my friends
It's a lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love, watch out
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Should 've know better
With a girl like you
You're totally misunderstood
I hear them talkin'
In this one horse town
You scandalize the neighborhood
My family was shocked by your ...
The color of your lips and hair
Even my brother, he's a God fearin' man
Poor boy had to sit and stare
I don't mind you foolin' me around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messin' me up
I tell all my friends
It's a lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Yeah yeah yeah
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
I hear the clickin'
Of yor heels on the stairs
You don't talk and I don't ask
What a little difference
Some eyeliner makes
Tomorrow you'll be back in class
Although my blueprint for happiness
Depends on you
I'll cook and clean and be your slave
I'll tie you up but I won't tie you down
Baby, I might even shave
I don't mind you foolin' me around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messin' me up

It's a lethal dose of love

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
And that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only

Well well hello
And how are you
Fancy seeing you here
Don’t let it show
No look, no one must know
Why there playing tracks of my tears
Just pretend it’s all over
Like you have for so long
I thought time was a healer
But I guess I was wrong
I held you to blame
But we were so young
Oh how was I to know, hey
But you said you still want me
Oh you opened up an old wound
Then you left me here bleeding
And my minds black and blue
Now you got yours
And I got mine
And theres no debts owed you
Oh what can we do

North winds have made my face a little older,
and my back is bent Thru tryin' too hard.
My vest is torn, so I make no perfect picture
to place upon your white washed wall.
I'd like to stay but you have not asked me,
still I don't really expect you to.
Dusty boots would shame you now, Lady Day.
Are we really that far apart?
I wish the world could see you now, Lady Day,
laughing down at your oldest friend,
the one who shared just about all we have,
in a one sided love affair,
I get scared when I remember too much.
Lalala
Wasted time, I suppose you could say that,
strange, it doesn't seem that way to me.
(but wait a minute) i don't even think you're listening,
just let me tell you how I really feel.
I've seen the inside of your heart, Lady Day,
when you wanted to be shown the way.
I loved you then as I love you now, girl.

Keep your hands off her
Keep them big mitts down
Keep your hands off her
So keep them big mitts down
So keep your hands off her, hear what I say
She don’t belong to you
She’s a heavy hipped mama
Got them great big legs
She’s a heavy hipped mama
She got them great big legs
She’s a heavy hipped mama, got them great big legs
Got just what it takes, oh yeah
Keep your hands off her
Keep them big mitts down
Keep your hands off her
So keep them big mitts down
So keep your hands off her, hear what I say
She don’t belong to you
Well, her name is josie
Yes, her name is josie
Well, her name is josie
Yes, her name is josie
Well, her name is josie, but she ain’t so nosy
But mmmm, she sure is cozy
One more
Keep your hands off her
Keep them big mitts down
Keep your hands off her
So keep them big mitts down
So keep your hands off her, hear what I say
She don’t belong to you
She don’t belong to you

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all of the fellas in the world she belongs to you
But it was just my imagination running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me
Soon we'll be married and raise a family
In a cozy, little home, in the country with two children, maybe three
I tell you, I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems
But it was just my imagination, once again running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me
Every night, on my knees I pray
Dear Lord, hear my plea
Or is it just my imagination, once again running away with me?
It was just my imagination running away with me
Just my imagination running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
Just my imagination

Nobody feels any pain,
tonight as I stand inside the rain.
Ev'rybody knows
that baby's got new clothes,
but lately I see her ribbons and her bows
have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman,
she makes love just like a woman,
and she aches just like a woman.
But she breaks just like a little girl.
Queen Mary, she's my friend,
oh I believe that I'll go see her again.
Nobody has to guess
that baby can't be blessed
till she finds out she's like all the rest,
with her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls.
She aches just like a woman, yes she does
she takes just like a woman, yes she does
she makes love just like a woman, yes she does
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first
and I was dying there of thirst,
So I came in here.
And your long time curse a' hurts,
but you know honey what's worse
is this pain in here,
I can't stay in here,
ain't it clear.
Oh I just don't fit,
I believe that it's time for us to quit.
When we meet again
and introduced as friends
please don't let on
that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
You fake just like a woman, yes she does
and make love just like a woman, yes she does
Then you ache just like a woman, yes she does
But you break just just like a little girl, break like a girl
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like a woman, woman, woman.

I close my eyes and ignore all the signs
I’m walking ’round in circles
I’ve closed my ears and believed my own lies
And break the silence always
I make a lot of words, big storm in the air
All ’round your hair it’s blowing
Just leave it be and it will all blow away
The weather’s always changing
You can go if you want to
I don’t own you, go be wild
Leave my hand, it’s wide open, so’s the door evermore
It hurts me more to think I’ll keep you in chains
Than if you were to leave me.
I am what you are and I’m running too,
All for the open prairie.
So you can go if you want to
I don’t own you, go be wild
Leave my hand it’s wide open, so’s the door forevermore.

(traditional, arr. ron wood)

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there, and they began to wail
The band began to-jumping, they began to swing
You should have heard the knock down jailbird sing
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock
Oh everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Number forty-seven said to number three
You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
So come and do the jailhouse rock with me
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock
Oh everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah!
Spider murphy played on the tenor saxophone
Little joe was blowin’ on a slide trombone
Drummer boy from illinois was crash-a-bam boomin’
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Listen
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah!
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
C’mon
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse ...

You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
A sentimental fool am I
To hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Precious memories keep a lingering on
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

If I ever feel the light again shining down on me,
I don't have to tell you what a welcome it will be.
I felt the light before but I let it slip away,
but I still keep on believing that it'll come back some day.
It's not the spotlight, it's not the cam'ra light,
it's not the street lights of some old street of dreams.
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
but I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean.
Some times I try to tell myself the light was never real,
just a fantasy that used to be, the way I used to feel.
But you and I know better, even though it's been so long,
if your memory really serves you well, you'll never tell me no wrong.
It's not the spotlight, it's not the cam'ra light,
it's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams.
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
but I've seen it shining in your eyes you know what I mean.
So if I ever feel the light again shining down on me,
I don't have to tell you what a welcome it would be.
I felt the light before but I let it slip away,
but I still keep on believing that it'll come back some day.
It's not the spotlight, it's not the cam'ra light,
it's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams.
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
but I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean.

Baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry
You know she done me wrong
She held my eyes open and that's no lie
Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry
But then I used to love her but it's all over now
Yes it is
But then I used to love her but it's all over now
Listen
She used to run around with every single man in town
Spent all my money playing her fast game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Ain't no lie
because I used to love her but it's all over now
Listen
Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed
When I got worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there with every single man in town
But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Yes it is
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Listen to this one
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
But then I used to love her but it's all
now wait a minute
But then I used to love her but you know
but you know it's all over now
But then I used to love her but you know it's all over now

Did you think I'd take it sitting down
and let you walk all over me
Thought you knew me much better than that
I keep much better company
With your lawyers and your two timing friends
I guess you know who I mean
Your detectives and your private eyes
could never win me back again
Just where did it get ya
What satisfaction was had
You kicked the shit right in my face
Is that all the thanks I get
You said we made such a pretty pair
living in harmony
I'm sorry honey but I disagree
it seemed more like a comedy
Just look how you lied girl
that Judas right by your side
He hung you up so you cut me right down
Is that all the thanks I get
Guess I'll find me a brand new girl
That won't take too very long
There's so many floatin' 'round this town
waitin' by the telephone
And if you want me I'll be in the bar
back into my usual ways
Or on the corner with the rest of the boys
You and I were just a breath away
It was great while it lasted
but oh Lord it turned nasty
You didn't give me one chance to explain
Well is that all the thanks I get
Is that the thanks I get
Is that the thanks I get
Is that the thanks I get for loving you
Is that the thanks I get
Is that the thanks I get
Is that the thanks I get for loving you

(If you don't know me by now)
You will never, never, never know me, Whooooa
All the things that we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now baby, I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothin'
To upset our happy home
(Ooooooh) Oh, don't get so excited
When I come home a little late at night
'Cause we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight
(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me by now
(You will never, never, never know me)
You will never, never, never know me, whooooa
(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me, baby
(You will never, never, never know me)
No you won't, ah-hey
We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me
Like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
That should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye, ooooh
(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't
If you don't know me, baby
(You will never, never, never know me, Whooooa)
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey-hey
(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me by now
(You will never, never, never know me)
No you won't, ah-hey...

(Rod Stewart, Ronnie Lane, 1973)
If I'm late, darling, don't hesitate
Just go without me and I'll see you there anyway
If I miss you at the station
I want you on that train
I don't want a sad sack
'Cause I'll be there come what may
Leave a message with the porter
Or leave it at the gate
Just let me know that you're aboard her
Just a word to know that you're safe
I walk from Maryland to Silvertown
I hoped to catch you in the street
I must have missed you by a moment dear
I tried the place we alway meet
So if I'm late darling, don't hesitate, no no
Go on your ownsome and I'll catch you there anyway
I might lose sometime babe
But if I do I'll make amends in an hour
When I'm laying down beside you

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You by my side
You by my side
(Ooh, ooh)
The other day I saw you walkin' (ooh)
You looked as pretty as a peach
You seemed so near
And yet somehow you're out of my reach (out of my reach)
If I had you I'd have the power (I'd have the power)
To do most anything I choose (whatever you wanted)
Oh, oh, oh, I would not care
Sometimes I'd win (you win, you win)
Sometimes (sometimes) I'd lose, oh, wee
I could change the world [if I could change the world]
If I had you [by my side]
I could change the world [if I could change the world]
If I had you (by my side, yeah)
My momma told me not to worry (I don't cheating)
She said 'It'll all come to those who wait'
(Come to you and you won't be wait)
But as I wait, I feel, oh, no
That it's much too late
That's why (never too late, baby)
I could change the world [if I could change the world]
(Change the world)
If I had you (ooh, you, if I had you)
I could change the world [if I could change the world]
(If I could change the world)
If I had you (only you) by my side (yeah) by my side
If I could change the world
(If I had you:ooh:)
If I could change the world (ooh)
(I could change the world)
Oh, yeah
I could change the world [if I could change the world]
If I had you (just me and you, just me and you, baby, yeah) [by my side]
I (ooh, ooh) could change the world [if I could change the world]
(Whatever you wanted)
If I had you (oh, yeah, if I had you) oh, yeah
I could change the world (oh)
If I had you (if I had you)
I could change the world (never, never too late now, no, no)
If I had you, oh, yeah
I (oh, yeah, yeah) could change the world
(I could change the world, I could change the world)
If I had you (if I only, if I only)
I could change the world
(I could change the world, I could change the world)
If I had you (by my side, oh, yeah) [yeah]
I could change the world
[Oh, you, whatever you need, I gave what you need]
(I could change the world)
If I had you
I could change the world
(I could change the world) [could change the world, yeah, yeah]
If I had you (if I get you) [oh, yeah, yeah]
I [ooh, ooh] could change the world (I could change the world)
If I had you (if I had, if I get you)

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket
And a head full of dreams
He said - somehow
someway it's gotta get better than this.
Patti packed her bags left a note for her mamma -
She was just seventeen
she kissed her little sister goodbye.
There were tears in her eyes when
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night
They were so exited.

I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah listen
It's funny you know when you sit down
and think about what you had
About the friends you used to know
What happened, where did they all go
Can you remember happy hours
spent drinkin' and thinkin'
We thought we could change the world
And we never, never, never, never, never
never thought we could get much older then
We were the ones who loved to love the right to love
We'd bring it on home with the right song
played at the right time
What happened to the girl that you loved once and left
young man did you break her heart
Did she live, and did she marry,
did she ever think on your face again
Ah now hold on a minute
I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah yeah
I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to jog my memories
Don't worry Lou you may never get another chance yeah
Yes I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to move my memories
Say it again with a lot more feelin'
And I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to find my memories
Don't sing so serious you make me feel so sad
But if I was true to myself
I would probably find it was a tear in my eye
that stopped me from believing you
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry don't worry
You know my tongue gets tired
when I think back on all of the things we do
But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things
as years pass me by
Ah when young bodies that've grown older
and mind's become dimmer
I'll point the finger back in time
I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could
if I could, if I could live it all again, yeah

Thanks for waking up for us ...

When I first saw you this strange kind of feeling set my head a-reeling
Like I hit the ceiling.
The same thing happened to me then, baby.
Something kind of crazy and everything went hazy.
Lightning and thunder shook the ground.
And I could feet the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.
My, have you never been set on fire?
Burning with desire growing higher and higher.
Like on a funny fair big wheel stopping when you are to topping,
The you feel it dropping
Rising and heaven falling down.
And I could feet the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.
I took my breath as though I’ve been running.
Quite completely stunning, holy, overcoming.
And in a funny way it seemed frightening.
Tension and a hardening
Thunder and the lightning
And I’ve grown the singer who wrote that song.
And I could feet the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feet the whole world turn round when you’re near me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.
I could feet the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feet the whole world turn round when you’re near me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.

How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well your friends and their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
but I can't help but have my suspictions,
'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Well you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way,
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day,
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long baby?
Oh, your friends and their gentle persuation
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
but I can't help but have my suspictions,
'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Well you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way,
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day,
Tell me honey
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on,
going on, going on?
how long has this been going on?
how long has this been going on,
going on, going on, going on?
How long, honey, oh, has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
how long has this been going on, going on, going on, going on?
how long has this been going on, going on, going on?
You been treaten me mad you been treaten me bad
and it's been going on, going on, going on
I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
I ain't quite the fool you mean
but it's been going on, going on, going on, going on.

I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to me
When I looked into your eyes
Still no reflection did I see
Of love light glowing within there
That I hoped there would be
And it’s a hard lesson to learn my friend
A hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
’times you gonna get burned
I took a chance on emotion
Washing my heart out to see
A single wave on the ocean
You feel so distant from me
And there’s a shadow dark upon your smile
A sadness living in your eyes
Storm clouds rolling in an outofdaught
Guess I been living alive
And it’s a hard lesson to learn my friend
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
And it’s a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to me
But when I looked into your beautiful eyes
Still no reflection did I see
Of love light glowing within there
That I kind o’ hoped there would be
And it’s a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Yeah, yeah,yeah
Yeah, yeah oh
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned

Hangman, hangman, slack your noose
Slack it, oh slack it
Slack it for a while
There ain't no use in your hurrying me
Ain't nothing gonna change things now
Now I ain't trying to prove your judge is wrong
And your jury, oh your jury
I guess I'll know the way out
And if you kill me with my canvas shirt
Good God, you could put my lawyer in jail
Listen
It's just this twenty two minutes to prepare yourself
I haven't been in this position before
Wash your hands, get your .?.
Find the waistcoat, lock the door.
And oh!
Get your .?.
Oh yeah, get your .?. lock the door
Come on
Listen to this one
Oh hangman, hangman, slack your noose
Oh slack it, please slack it
Oh just slack it awhile, give me one more chance
There ain't no use in you hurryin' me
Good God, nothing's gonna stop me now
Don't you worry
Cause you never get your .?.
Well, might get your waistcoat on
Ha-ha
Heh-heh

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old
trying to make herself a bride
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Baby
Once I was a young man
and all I thought I had to do was smile
You are still a young girl
and you bought everything in style
Listen
But once you think you're in you're out
'cause you don't mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya

(Ron Wood, Rod Stewart & Ronnie Lane)
Steady all day!
Thought I was lookin' good
So I cycled 'cross the neighbourhood
Was invited by a skinny girl
Into her high class world
Left my bicycle under the stairs
Laid my coat across the kosher chairs
Made my way across the crowded room
I had nothing to lose
My reception wasn't very keen
So turning on a friendly grin,
Stood on the table with my glass of gin
And came straight to the point
I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time
I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time. Oh no
Dancin' madly 'round the room, yeah
Singing loudly and sorta' out of tune
Was escorted by a friendly slag
'Round the ... back
Wandered c-c-cross ...
Missed my step and I fell on the floor.
Said one word and was asked to leave
Kinda' wish I was dead.
I was glad to come
And I'll be so sad to leave,
But while I was here
I had me a real good time, oooh.
The skinny girl made it clear,
That she only came here for the beer - that's a fact, oh yeah
The vicar he simply reeked of gin - good God
On my way home I happened to fall off my bicycle, good party
Ooh hoo, ha ha, yeah
I was glad to come, but I was also glad to get home, yeah
Ooh hoo
Hoo, get in there
Ooh hoo

Sometimes I wonder
what this old world's comin' to
where it's all gonna end
'Cause I work all week
try'n' to save me a dollar
but I get further in debt
But now on in
I'm gonna spend time lovin'
find a baby sitter right now
Put on your red dress
high heels darlin'
tonight we're going up town
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away
I know a funny little place
down on main street baby
where the band will play all night long
They play some hot rock 'n' roll to fine syncopation
and a brother on the saxophone
We got one chance baby
gotta be now or never
Yeah I know as I'm broke
We're gonna make this weekend last forever
come on honey put on your coat
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away
I've been lovin' you for seven years I won't forget
and I know it's been hard sometimes
open up the wine let's pretend we just met
We'll get home in the morning
while the milk man's calling
and the early birds start to sing
I will roll you some breakfast
and we'll jump into bed
and we'll start all over again
So hang on tight baby
we'll go flyin'
give your man a big kiss
We're gonna boogie on down
from the Bronx to Manhattan
memories are made of this
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away
Dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
It may be the Bossanova
It may be the twist
It may be the Watusi
It may be the Chachacha
Just as long as we're dancin'
come on baby dancin
Take away our blues tonight
take away my blues tonight
Just as long as we're dancin'
dancin', dancin', dancin'

[vocals by ronnie lane]
Thank you kindly for thinking of me
If I’m not smiling I’m just thinking
Glad and sorry, happy or sad.
When all is done and spoken
You’re up or I’m down
Can you show me a dream,
Can you show me one that’s better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can i
Can you show me a dream,
Can you show me one that’s better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can i

Driving in my car
There's nothing on the air
Play a song that'll ease my pain
D.J.'s telling me
That this is what'll be
Help me I'm depressed again
My best friend disappeared
With the girl I had for years
My life's going down the drain
The skies are crying
Everybody's lying
Oh God I'm depressed again
Give me wings I'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me
The boss is on my back
I know I'm gonna crack
Looks like I'm paranoid again
Can't do nothing right
See only black and white
Oh God I'm depressed again
Give me wings I'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me
How can I plan ahead
With this hanging round my neck
Looks like I'm coming down again
Thought about it well
Analysed myself
Yeah, I'm depressed again
Give me wings I'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me
I'm down, I'm coming down again
I'm down, looks like I'm coming down again
I'm down, I'm down
Looks like I'm coming down again
I'm down, I'm down
Looks like I'm pissed off again

Are those your eyes?
Is that your smile?
I been looking at you for ever,
Yet I never saw you before.
Are these your hands? Holding mine?
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind.
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes.
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are.
I can't believe how much I see,
When you're looking back at me.
Now I understand what love is,
Love is...
For the first time...
Can this be real?
Can this be true?
Am I the person I was this morning?
And are you the same you?
Its all so strange.
How can it be?
All along this love was right in front of me!
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes.
For the first time, I am seeing who you are.
I can't believe how much I see,
When you're looking back at me.
Now I understand what love is...
Love is...
For the first time.
Such a long time ago,
I had given up on finding this emotion,
Ever again.
But you're here with me now,
Yes I found you somehow,
And I've never been so sure.
For the first time, I am looking in your eyes,
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are,
Can't believe how much I see,
When you're looking back at me.
Now I understand what love is...
Love is...
For the first time.

Can I introduce myself
I'm a man of panache and wealth
Sound in mind, body, soul and health
Why I wanna kill my wife
I have the urge to take her life
Been planing for years to get rid of her
Not divorce I really do mean to kill her
She's so full of useless information and trivia
That's why I wanna kill my wife
I have a duty to take her life
Her stupid friends get right up my nose
They all wear annoyingly sensible clothes
They're all so bleeding grandiose,
You know why I should kill her friends
They're all driving Mercedes Benz.
He'll escape down into Mexico
Sell the house and find a nice young girl
He'll laugh and sing and he won't work anymore.
Should I string her up or strangle her in bed
Suffocate that little venomous head
Or perhaps I'll just whip her to death
Listen do me a favor kill my wife
Do it for mankind take her life
Or should I act quite cold and deliberate
Or maybe blow out her brains with a bullet
They'll think suicide they won't know who done it
I'm gonna kill my wife I'm really gonna take her life.
He'll escape down into Mexico
Sell the house and find a nice young girl
He'll laugh and sing and he won't work anymore
The moment of truth has come
I'm at the point of no return
I've got my hands locked round her throat
I'm about to kill my wife
Don't stop me now I'm gonna take her life
Too late now I'm gonna kill my wife
Can't help myself I'm gonna take her life
Telephone rang and he woke from his sleep
His wife snoring soundly next to him
It was all a very nasty dream

(rod stewart, ron wood, ronnie lane)
I’m flying across the ocean
And I’m soaring back home
To the place I was born and probably raised.
And I’m flying across the mountains and valleys,
Back home to the one that I love so happily.
Can ya’ blame me for feeling homesick
’cause I’ve been away such a very long long time ?
I served a while in the county jail, five years for
For bein’ hungry tired and poor, I got worried so.
On and on this I will follow with your buttons and bows.
On and on this I will follow, all alone,
You know I will follow with your buttons and bows,
With your buttons and your bows.
On and on I’m flying across the ocean, going home.
I’m flying across the ocean
Goin’ home, hoo hoo

Last night I was woken by my cry
Had a dream just as plain as you and i
Saw the morning sun on a woodland in the spring
Still hear the echo crashing through the trees
Oh when I saw you down I fell upon my knees
You and I we were wearing southern grey
I called to you, but I used another name
I beat the ground and I cried out in your pain
But through a scarlet door I watched you slipping away
And your brothers’ helpless prayers were all in vain
Last night I was woken by my cry

Some fellows look at the eyes
Some fellows look at the nose
Some fellows look at the size
Some fellows look at the clothes
I don't care if her eyes are red
I don't care if her nose is long
I don't care if shes underfeed
I don't care if her clothes are wrong
First I look at the purse.
Some fellows like the smiles they wear
Some fellows like the legs that talk
Some fellows like the style of their hair,
they want the waist line to be small.
I don't care if their legs all vein
I don't care if their teeth are big
I don't care if she wears a ring
Why waste time looking at the waist line
Cause first I look at the purse....Yeah!
A woman can be as fine as can be
Kisses sweeter than honey
That don't mean a thing to me,
if you ain't got no money, baby.
Cause if the purse is fat, thats where it's at. yeahaa...
Some fellows like the way they walk,
the way they swing and sway.
Some fellows like the way they talk,
if they can talk talk all day.
I don't care if she waddles like a duck or talks with a lisp
I still think I'm in good luck if the dollar bills are crisp
Cause first I look at the purse....yeah yeah
Keep an eye on the money
Womans got to have some fine greenbacks hah
I ain't greedy guys,
Oh I don't wanna work no more

I'm drinkin' again
Thinkin' of when
You left me
That happened once so long ago, hmm
I've been havin' a few
And wishin' that you
Were right here by my side
Well I'm makin' the rounds
And settin' them up
A total stranger to myself
I'm just makin' a fool of myself
I'm just hopin' that you'll come right back once, someday,
But I know, I know, I know
That there's no second time around
Hmm. Now, listen!
I know, I know, I know.
Sure I know I can borrow a smoke
Or sit here all night long and tell a joke
But after all is said and done
Who's gonna laugh,
Who's gonna laugh at a broken, a broken heart?
I've been drinkin' again

Day after day I'm more confused;
I look for the light in the pouring rain.
You know that's a game that I hate to lose.
I'm feelin' the strain; ain't it a shame?
Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time;
don't understand the things that I do.
' Cause the world outside looks so unkind.
Now I'm countin' on you to carry me through.
Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Yeah, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
And when my mind is free no melody can move me.
When I'm feelin' blue guitars are comin' through to soothe me.
And thanks for the joy that you've given me;
I want you to know I believe in your song,
and rhythm and rhyme and harmony.
You help me along, makin' me strong.
Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away, yeah
Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul;
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard a siren from the dock
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town
We're goin' to take a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town
And oh we'll chop you down
Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
And oh whoa-oh dirty old town
Chop you down one of these days

(ronnie lane)
So good to be with the people that know you.
It’s good to hear the things that they say,
Oh at times when you are with them.
So good to note my strength is growing,
From day to day, there’s not a thing, nononono.
Not one thing I try to do without ya’
Troubled times of pain that come I take them any old day.
You come and you wash them, you wash them all away,
Wash them all away
And everywhere you sing in everything,
And I try by remembering
All the things that you said to me,
From within all you did for me.
Just one word, just one word, just one word.

(ronnie lane)
I left you on the debris
At the sunday morning market
You were sorting through the odds and ends
You was looking for a bargin
I heard your footsteps at the front door
And that old familiar love song
Cause you knew you’d find me waiting there
At the top of the stairs
I wouldn’t of went back
Just to see how far it was
And you looked shocked to tell me
But I had to love her myself
Theres more trouble at the depot
With the general workers union
And they said they’ll never change a thing
Well they won’t fight and their not working
Oh you was my hero
Hell you are my good friend
(I’ve been there and back)
And I know how far it is
But I left you on the debris
Now we both know you got no money
And I wonder what you would have done
Without me hanging around

Sugar
Sugar
mmm ... ooh
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all her questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so
He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, honey, tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know
His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got his girl home
Relax, baby, now we are alone
[break]
They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other, neither one's complaining
He say's I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind, sugar, we can watch the early movie
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so
Tell me so, baby

Crying
Crying never did nobody no good
No how, no how
That's why I
I don't cry
That's why I
I don't cry
Laughing
Laughing sometimes does somebody some good
Somehow, somehow
That's why I, I, I
I'm laughing now
That's why I, I
I'm laughing now
Loving
Loving never did me no good
No how, no how
That's why I
Can love you now
That's why I, I, I
Can love you now
Lying
Lying never did nobody no good
No how, no how
So why am I, I, I
Lying now
So why am I

darling part of my life it wasn't very pretty. See, I was born and raised
in the slums of the city.It was a 1 room shack and slept 10 other children
beside me.We hardly had enough food or room to sleep. It was hard times. I
needed some thing to ease my troubled mind.
Listen, my father didn't know the meaning of work. He disrespected mama and
treated us like dirt.I left home seeking a job that I never did find.Depressed
and down hearted I took to cloud nine.
I'm doin fine, up here, on cloud nine. Listen 1 more time, I'm doin fine, up
here, on cloud nine.
Folks down there tell me, they say give your self a chance son don't let life
pass you by,but the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongly
survive.It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie. It ain't even safe no
more, to walk the streets at night.
I'm doin fine, on cloud nine.

Listen here
You don't have to love me always Cindy
You don't need to see me every day of the week
You don't have to notice my brand new shoes
But please, please say hello some time
You know I've tried to impress you Cindy
I even lent ya my library book
I guess you forgot, good God you soon forgot it woman
I don't mind but please say hello some time
And your mother she can't stand my face
And your brother keeps me from your door
But I'll stay around yes I'll stay around honey
I'll even watch over your garden fence
I've watched your friends Cindy laugh in my face
But I won't apologize for the way that I am
If only they knew baby, yes if only they knew
that you've already spent one night with me honey

(ron wood, rod stewart, ian mclagan, 1973)
Oh cindy ain’t you noticed
That several of your friends have moved on
And the street outside is just a little too quiet
And your local papers run out of news
I’m not persuading you or disengaging you
But cindy you and me we got to move
Can you refuse, no time to lose
We’ll hit the high road early this morning
So don’t be late, don’t hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
And oh cindy incidentally baby I ain’t putting you on
Can you refuse, with ( ) lose
We’ll hit the high road early this morning
So don’t be late, don’t hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
Oh cindy don’t you worry
’cause between us we can make it through
There ain’t nothing no no nothing
In the world I can do without you
So cindy get your coat on
Leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse
Turn your music so loud let’s attract a big crowd
We’ll drink a round to this town and bid goodbye

Silent as a willow tree
This road moves like a, a river to me
Sun goes down on Wisdom Street
Break the glass and throw away the key
Somewhere out where the fates collide (collide)
Cigarettes and candlelight
I sit here in the lone cafe
So stripped away (oh, oh)
So stripped away
Ah, huh:
Huh:huh
Oh, ah, oh, ah
Everybody knows
I'm your street corner Romeo
Everybody knows
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me
Sit with me forever more
Is the draft too cold when they open door
Seem to me whenever you're drunk
And we'll drift away, drift away (drift away)
Ah, huh:
Huh:huh
Oh, ah, oh, ah
Everybody knows (everybody)
I'm your street corner Romeo (oh, yeah)
Everybody knows
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh:)
I feel your heart beat underneath my skin
Like a New Orleans night
But the rain can't get in
So red-hot dig the beat up underneath a cool, cool night
And the glass moonlight of spring
Everybody knows (ooh:)
I'm your street corner Romeo (oh, yeah)
Everybody knows (know, yeah)
You're my Juliet in rags
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
I'm your street corner Romeo, yes, I am
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody knows (yeah)
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh:)

Everybody knows
(Everybody, everybody knows)
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me
Charlie Parker loves me
Charlie Parker loves me

We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand one by one
Before you know it it's all gone
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends
It's a strange sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together
Where do we go from here
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends
We awoke from our dream
Things are not what they always seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad, old song
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
I can't play this game anymore
Can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
I just wanna be friends
I just wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
And now I just wanna be friends
We had something to learn, something to learn
Now can we still be friends
Let's admit our mistakes

Listen everybody, especially you girls
Do you liked to be left alone
by the one you love, never phone
I love to holler
My friends sometimes say
that I believe, I believe
that a woman should love that way
Well it hurts me so inside
Ya' see I treat you so unkind
Somebody somewhere
I tell ya it ain't fair
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
I want a witness
Everybody
I want a witness
Witness, witness
Somebody somewhere
Well all you ... agree
Said this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya say yeah
I want a witness
Get a witness
I feel all right
One more time
Just a one more time
A little bit louder, baby
A little bit louder
Everybody
Well it hurts me so inside
To see love to be so unkind
Somebody somewhere
It ain't fair
Jump up early in the morning
With it on my mind

Well if you ever want to come home to me
I'll still be here waiting
If you ever change your mind
about leaving, leaving me behind
Baby bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
I know I laughed when you left
but now I know that I only hurt myself
Honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
Let me tell you all about it
I'll give you tulips and money too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'd do for you
If you'll bring it to me, bring you're sweet loving
bring it on home to me
You know I'll always be your slave
until I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
I tried to treat you right
but you stayed out, stayed out late at night
but I forgive you
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
Just remember this one thing darlin' that
You, you, you send me, you know this one
You, you know darlin' you send me
And I know that you, you thrill me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
And I wanna tell you one thing that
And I know this one thing that

When I get home you're always there for me
and I know that you're gonna send me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Well you thrill me
Darlin' you're always gonna send me

(ian mclagan, ron wood, rod stewart)
Cell block five, how I hate bromide
With your coffee in the morning makes you so sterile
The corner gang never made a man of me boy
You know the walls are tall and the inmates scheme
There’s no one here that’s more than seventeen
Bet your life there’s a riot tonight in the mess hall
Listen
A letter from your home town makes you sad
You read it when the wardens had a second laugh
He said sentimental rubbish ain’t got no place in here boy
See the years roll on by
Such a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number
Who’s a nonconformer,
Not me baby, oh yeah
Shakey brown didn’t hang around
When a molotow didn’t do it’s stuff
You went back in there and said it with a sawed-off shotgun
You know poker sam couldn’t lose a hand
If he did you were hit by a downtown tram
Or crushed in the path of a moving elevator, elevator
See the years roll on by
Such a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number
Who’s a nonconformer,
Not me baby, oh yeah
When I get out, I’ll get straight
If this old world gives me half a break
But, if you see me in the corner with a chip on my shoulder
Don’t blame me, don’t blame me baby, no, no
Got to make a break for the county line

The night closes in on another day
as the oldest game's gettin' underway
on the minds of a million people body wishes
So you climb on the carousel and take a chance
the same old ritual the same old dance
The hardest thing to resist is body wishes
If the fire down below's gettin worse and worse
you're so close to shootin' that you want to burst
Somebody's sponge needs squeezin' body wishes
What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
Won't solve the problem
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Away in the distance a baby cries
but you know somebody's by her side
The night drags on forever body wishes
You can hear the tickin' of a lonely clock
the howlin' wind that just won't stop
Somebody's cherries need pickin' body wishes
What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
Won't solve the problem
It'll tear you apart like an angry sea
keep you warm like a summer breeze
It's all we've got in a cold cold world
is to love someone
Body wishes, body wishes
Somethings happenin' in the air
It feels so close but you don't know where
The poorest people's riches body wishes
And the cheatin' hearts never learn
Someday somewhere gonna be your turn
Don't start what you can't finish body wishes
What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
That won't solve the problem
Where do I run
Anywhere that'll hide ya
Who'll be the one
Yeah
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes

I don’t know much about love people,
But I sure think I’ve got it bad.
I don’t know too much about love people,
But I sure think I’ve got it bad.
Some people say love is just a gamble,
But whatever it is, it’s about to drive poor me mad.
Yes it is.
I’m sittin’ here in my lonely room,
Tears flowin’ all down my eyes.
Come on baby.
As I’m sittin’ here, sittin’ here, sittin’ here in my lonely room,
You know the tears flowin’ all down my god-darn eyes.
I wonder how you could treat me so low down and dirty, ha-ha,
You know what? your heart must be made out of iron.
And it ain’t no lie. come on baby.
Don’t you worry!
Oww! oh yeah!
Over here!
Sometime, I get so worried,
You know I could sit down and cry, ha-ha-ha, yea!
Dig this!
You know sometime I get so worried people,
You know, and only you know, I could sit down and cry.
And it ain’t no lie.
Because, I don’t know too much about love people,
But i,
But i,
Oww sure think I’ve got it bad.

Is it a matter of opinion
or just a contradiction
but from where I come from
all the blondes have more fun
Well just awatch them sisters on a Saturday night
Peroxide causin' all the fights
I took a rose in Texas
she gimme plenty of practice
But I couldn't touch the surface
'cos of recent facelift
She had no idea what love's about
'cept the one o'clock call on the casting couch
Sissy from New York
was on the cover of New Vogue
I ain't supposed to be available
So completely untouchable
I got a limousine 'n' bodyguard and chaperone
But God knows Rodder just needs to ball
You can keep your black and your red heads
You can keep your brunettes too
I wanna girl that's semi intelligent
Gimme a blonde that's six feet two boy
and that ain't all
I had a crush on Bardot
Fell in love with Monroe
Read about 'em in the nationals
All the juicy little scandals
But I never saw 'em dancin' at the county hall
with the short fat guy's prematurely bald
Dig this
You can keep your black and your red heads
you can keep your brunettes too
Don't wanna subservient woman
Gimme a blonde that's six feet two boy
and that ain't all

[Instrumental]

Mother don't you recognize your son, ooh hoo
Coming home, yeah yeah
Getting home, 'cause I failed you Mother, hmm-mmm
I'll be there in the mornin'
If you have me back
The rent up here is much too high
For a room without a tap
A room without a tap, hoo
I'll be early in the morning
And I'll find my way back home
Back home bad 'n' ruin
With my tail between my legs
Tail between my legs
And I'll be so tired
I'll be so tired, now listen
I'll be early tomorrow morning
And I'll fall down off my plane
Don't be embarrassed mother
By your ugly worn-out son, hmm
Your ugly worn-out son.
So just let me warn you
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now, hoo
And I'll be down on Cannon[?] street
Passport in my hand
Should you could not recognize me
I've heavily made-up eyes
Momma, you won't recognize me now
Brother, you won't recognize me now
Hello there
Sister, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Ooh, hoo
So mother when you've seen me
Don't forget I'm your boy too
I know my brother has done you proud
He's one foot in the grave
Mother don't you recognize me now ?
I'm a burglar in the first degree
But it don't seem to worry me
I'll be so tired, so tired
I'll be so tired, so tired
So Tired

(rod stewart, ron wood)
Woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as I’m thinking now.
Every night for a year I’ve slept alone.
Cold damp room looks worse than me, no no no
Got a fear of death that creeps on every night.
I know I won’t die soon, but then again I might,
Water down the drain, I’m wasting away.
And doctors can’t help me a ghost of a man that’s me, no no
Water down the drain goes to the sea,
The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me.
Moisture from the ocean fills the sky,
Come on down to the ground as the time goes by, no no no no no
Slow down there
I never found out the reason why
Why my parents had to lie
About the place that I was born
And from my hometown I was torn
At the tender age of four
I was livin’ by a homemade law
I never knew when it was to be laid
My desires are never displayed
I never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be laid
I never knew what it was to win
I never knew what it was to be loved, nonono
Ah, get on up there
I never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be laid
Nonononono
Slow down there

Did you ever stand and shiver
while looking at a freezing river
Have you froze to the bone
with just a coat to keep you warm
to keep you from a howlin' wind
to keep you from a howlin' wind
Now listen
Have you perished in the drizzling rain
Tried to light ... a lift but all in vain
With your sock on your head
and that old coat on your back
to keep you from the drizzlin' rain
oh to keep you from the drizzlin' rain
Goodbye
One more time
Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed
Laid your head on a .....
With the Times on your face
and that old coat on your back
That kept you from a-withering away good God
It just kept you from a-withering away
I know
And did you ride a lift on a steam train
Now listen
Had the misfortune not to pay your fare
Thrown off the next stop
Thrown in the doorway of a shop
With that coat to keep you from the wind
Oh that old school coat to keep you from the wind
And that ain't all
Have you had some good friends on the road with ya
who'd stand by you through thick and thin
Here's to Kevin and Ben, Susie and Len
And that coat which never lets you down
It never, never, never lets you down
It never, never, never lets you down
That old coat which never lets you down
That old coat which never lets you down
Kept me from the drizzlin' rain
And oh, kept me from the drizzlin' rain

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found

Oh, didn't I mess around like ev'rybody did?
I said, Woman, you're foolin' around with a man that just don't fit.
I said, I'd better get along before I get right under your skin.
Remember the song, wasn't it fun, 'cause it was just one of those things.
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day.
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend,
and I packed my bags and moved right away.
I said goodbye to money, I don't owe no alimony.
I paid my dues and payroll cues, gonna leave it all up to you.
I'll take my dog and my car, the best friends I've found so far,
and I'll keep goin' with the mornin' sun, singin' the same old song.
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day.
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend,
and I packed my bags and moved right away.
Well I guess you needed somebody to open each and ev'ry door
With a large amount in the Swiss account to give you thrills and nothing more.
But my Volkswagen is hardly a custom built Ferarri.
You want firstclass but I pump gas, so I'll get on out of your way.
But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day.
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend,
and I packed my bags and moved right away.
It was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day.
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend,
and I packed my bags and moved right away.

(presley, blackwell)
Bless my soul, what’s wrong with me ?
I’m itchin’ like a man that’s on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I’m acting as wild as a bug.
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m all shook up.
Ah, ah, ah, all shook up most of the time.
Well, my knees are shakin’
And my hands are gettin’ weak.
Can’t seem to stand on my own two feet.
Who do you blame when you, oh, when you found such luck ?
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m all shook up, any old way
Yea please don’t ask me what’s up on my mind
I’m a little mixed up but I’m feelin’ fine
But that’s alright
Oh, when I meet a girl that I’ve love best,
My heart beats so and it scares me to death
But that’s alright
She touched my lips, what a thrill I got
My [heart] beats like a volcano when it’s red hot
I’m proud to say that she’s my, oh, what a buttercup
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love,
I’m all shook up, any old time.
Ah, yeah
That’s alright, listen
That’s ok too
I’m in the mood for love, woman
I’m in the mood for love
My knees are shakin’ and my elbows quakin’
I can’t seem to stand on my own two feet
All shook up, oh yeah.
Please don’t ask me what’s up on my mind
I’m a little mixed up but I’m feeling fine
I’m in the mood for love, woman, yeah
In the mood for love
Come on babe
Bless my soul, what’s wrong with me
Ah ...

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey what is this
Now maybe baby
Maybe you're in need for a kiss
I said hey what's your name
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate
I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look what's your game
Are you trying to put me in shame
I said slow don't talk so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love Lord above
Now you're trying to trick me in love
All right now
Baby it's all right now
All right now
Baby it's all right now
Who's that girl, watch that girl
Look at that girl
She lives down my street
Who's that girl, w-w-w-watch that girl
Well look at that girl
She lives down my street
I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look what's your game
Are you trying to put me in shame
I said slow don't talk so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love Lord above
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love
All right now
Baby it's all right now
Baby, baby, baby it's all right
Baby, baby, baby it's all right
Took me home to her place
And I watched the smile on her face
When she moves me
I just watch that girl, watch that girl
And she said, Love, you tryin' to trick me in love
What's this now baby that's no good
Tryin' to trick me in love
Don't do that, no don't do that
Don't do that oh baby
All right now
Don't do, don't do that
You can't do that, can't do that
All right now baby

(Jimmy Reed)
Know I love you baby
Know I love you baby
You know I love you baby
You don't even know my name
Let me tell you baby
I tell you what I would do
I would rather be a big somebody
And come home to you
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
You don't even know my name
Let me tell you baby
Though it don't sound true
If you'd throw me in the ocean
I'd swim to the shore
And come home to you
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
You don't even know my name, alright

I would rather be a big somebody
And come home to you
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
You don't even know my name, alright
Four o'clock in the mornin'
You come walkin' home
I ain't got no consolation
But to ring you on the phone
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
You don't even know my name
You don't even know my name
You don't even know my name

(g. goffin / c. king / j. wexler)
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
But when I knew I had to face another long, long day
Girl I used to feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life had been so unkind
But you’re the key to my peace of mind
’cause you made me feel, you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural man
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn’t know, I didn’t know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me to name it
Now I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for
But if I make you happy I don’t need to do more
’cause you made me feel, you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural man
Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me
Can’t you see that you made me feel so good inside
Don’t you know that I just want to be
Close to you, you made me feel so alive
’cause you made me feel, you made me feel
You made me feel like a natural man
Baby I ain’t doubtful of what I’m living for
But if I make you happy I don’t need to do more
’cause you made me feel, you made me feel
Well you made me feel like a natural man

Mm, your love is lifting me higher
Than I ever been lifted before.
Ooh, baby, keep it up, sweet baby.
Quench my desire,
And I'll be at your side forever more.
'Cause your love is liftin' me higher and higher.
Your love keeps on liftin' me, oh, higher, higher.
Now once I was down-hearted,
And disappointment was my closest friend.
But then you came,
And he soon departed.
And you know I never seen,
I haven't seen his face again!
Your love is liftin' me
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me
Higher, higher, higher and higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.
So glad I finally found you, babe.
You're the best for these old arms.
With those sweet, sweet lovin' arms around me,
I tell you I don't need,
I don't need,
I-oh-I don't need no disguise, no!
Your love is liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me,
Whoa, higher, higher, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher,
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher.
You lift me, you take me
Higher and higher.
Higher, higher, yeah, higher, higher!
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Higher, higher, oh, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher,
Higher and higher...

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
But when I knew I had to face another long, long day
girl I used to feel so tired
Before the day I met you
life had been so unkind
but you're the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
you made me feel like a natural man
When my soul was in the lost and found
you came along to claim it
I didn't know, I didn't know just what was wrong with me
till your kiss helped me to name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
but if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
you made me feel like a natural man
Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me
Can't you see that you made me feel so good inside
Don't you know that I just want to be
close to you, you made me feel so alive
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
you made me feel like a natural man
Baby I ain't doubtful of what I'm living for
but if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
Well you made me feel like a natural man

Wasted and wounded
And it ain't what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow
Hey Frank, can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim
Of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English
And everything is broken
And my strength is soaking away to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
Now the dogs they are barking
And the taxi cab's parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old bushills I staggered
You buried the dagger
Your silhouette window light, to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman
With the cold-blooded smile
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
No, I don't want your sympathy
Fugitives say
That the streets ain't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnet
And the ghost that sells memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow, go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant
She killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And it's a battered old suitcase
In a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No prima donnas, the perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street-sweepers
The night watchmen, flame-keepers
And goodnight, Matilda, too
Goodnight Matilda, too

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sand
And watches the ships that go sailing.
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Fell straight to her arms I'd go sailing.
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will leave me there soon, yeah.
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will leave me there soon, yeah.
We'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
And never again I'll go sailing
My heart will leave me

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember, in september in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
In september in the rain.
To every word of love I heard, you whisper
The raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain.
Though spring is here, to me it's still september
Ooh, that september in the rain.
To every word of love I heard, you whisper
The raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain.
Though spring is here, to me it's still september
That september, in the rain
That september, in the rain
That september, in the rain

I stayed away so long, Jo,
don't think that I could come back.
You're doin' so well without me girlie,
you'd laugh if you'd know where I'm at.
You knew me when it was all my world,
somehow it's all passed me by,
but don't let on to my friends Jo dear
that things ain't turned out as planned.
You bore my child, then I left you aside,
I don't expect you to forgive,
but Jo, I can say in a funny way,
I was sure that I had it made.
I still possess a photograph,
my mem'ry to refresh.
But fate it may Jo, I can say
I was sure that I had it made.
You bore my child, then I left you aside,
I don't expect you to forgive.
Now I'm not so young, and I'm so afraid

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some are gone and some remain
Oh these places had their meanings
With lovers and friends, I still recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one, compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love, as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life,

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket
And a head full of dreams
He said somehow, some way
It's gotta get better than this
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma
She was just seventeen
There were tears in her eyes
When she kissed her little sister goodbye
They held each other tight
As they drove on through the night, they were so exited
We got but one shot of life
Let's take it while we're still not afraid
Because life is so brief
And time is a thief, when you're undecided
And like a fistful of sand
It can slip right through your hands
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side
Don't let 'em put you down
Don't let 'em push you around
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast
In a blissful manner
They took a two room apartment
That was jumping every night of the week
Happiness was found in each other's arms
As expected, yeah
Billy pierced his ears
Drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side
Don't let 'em put you down
Don't let 'em push you around
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
Come on, babe
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on, on your side
Billy wrote a letter back home
To Patti's parents tryin' to explain
He said, "We're both real sorry
That it had to turn out this way"
But there ain't no point in talking
When there's nobody listening
So we just ran away
Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, yeah!
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight, time in on your side
Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free
Time is on, time is on your side
Time, time, time, time is on your side, is on your side, is on your side
Young heart be free tonight

You give me hope
When all around was lost
And I could see no point in trying
For I saw love passing by me
You came into my life
You came into my life
I look around
And what I had is gone
Now, I've finally found
What I've been missing
The road I travel is so clear
Since you came into my life
You came into my life
(And) You're the star
My shinin' light
The mornin' dawnin'
When the sun comes up so bright
And the closer I get
Yes, it's true
You're the star
Above the storm
I wanna wrap you in my arms
And keep you warm
No, I don't wanna live without you
No, I've never found nothin' like you
You give me faith
The kind I though had gone
Somewhere down the line
I think I lost it
Now, I've found changes in my heart
Your faith in me is strong
Your faith in me is strong
(And) You're the star
My shinin' light
The mornin' dawnin'
When the sun comes up so bright
And the closer I get
Yes, it's true
You're the star
Above the storm
I wanna wrap you in my arms
And keep you warm
No, I don't wanna live without you
No, I've never found nothin' like you
(And) You're the star
My shinin' light
The mornin' dawnin'
When the sun comes up so bright
And the closer I get
Yes, it's true
You're the star
Above the storm
I wanna wrap you in my arms
And keep you warm
No, I don't wanna live without you
No, I've never found nothin' like you
You're the star
You're the star
You're the star, oh yeah
I've never found nothin' like you

I didn't know what day it was
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon
Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The attraction was purely physical
I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, beardsly prints
I put down to experience
The big bosomed lady with the dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad-lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance
You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey, what do you see in me?
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
You're an essay in glamor
Please pardon the grammar
But you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, united, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'Cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you, but from Minnesota
Hell it's been a very long time
You wear it well
A little old fashioned but that's all right
Well, I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh, I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know
That you wear it well
There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate
The all day rock 'n' roll shows
Their homesick blues and the radical views
Haven't left a mark on you
You wear it well
A little out of time but I don't mind
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
Tryin' to get a letter through
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it didn't cost the earth, but for what it's worth
You made me feel a millionaire
And you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you, no, no
Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
That I gotta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
Think of me and try not to laugh
And I wear it well
I don't object if you call Collect
'Cos I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
Tryin' to get back to you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Oh, yeah
After all the years I hope it's the same address

Every face that crammed this hall
And in this room our hats were hung
And words were written and songs were sung
And we held our glasses high
And we dared to reach for the sky
And we never would grow old
When we were the new boys
And on these streets we were like kings
We'd roll and tumble, fight and sing
And in these smoky pubs the yarns were spun
And many a sweetheart was lost and won
And on these green fields we played for pride
No quarter given, no compromise
We were lovers and we were sons
When we were the new boys
Behind this cellar door on cheap guitars
We played our blues til the early hours
No one listening but a few old friends
We never dreamed it could ever end
This was our moment, this was our space
This was a jewel of a time to have graced
But they're all sweet memories now
When we were the new boys
All my life I've been running
down the side of this hill
But way down deep in my heart
don't want the water to ever be still
All these friends have long since gone
Blown and scattered like autumn leaves
Some are lawyers and some are thieves
Some are now behind the sun
But I'll never be afraid
>From the cradle to the grave
I learned my lesson and I learned it well

Can I tell you what you mean to me
You're essential as the air I breath
Almost impossible to believe that you're mine.
You're like weekends all year long under a hot Jamaican sun.
You are a winner at a hundred and one
Yes you are.
Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more.
I'm down on my bended knees
Honey.
What am I gonna do
I'm so in love with you.
What am I gonna say
if ever you go away.
One in a million
Oh so fair
A nightingale in Barkley Square.
And baby
I ain't goin' nowhere without you.
You are the goal that wins the game
The very last bus
Home in the rain.
You're like Rock'n'Roll
And champagne all in one.
Something you've got
Is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees
Honey.
What am I gonna do
I'm so in love with you.
What am I gonna say
If ever you go away.
What am I gonna do
I'm so in love with you.
What am I gonna say
If ever you go away.
Ill be a sleek one of a kind
It's so difficult to define.
I could drink a case of you anytime.
The Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower
A national anthym and April shower
Tomorrow's fashion and now I've found you.
I'm complete.
Something you've got
Is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees
Honey.
What am I gonna do
I'm so in love with you.
What am I gonna say
If ever you go away.
What am I gonna do
I'm so in love with you.
What am I gonna say

What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain.
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine, oh mine.
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss.
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you.
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine.
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss.
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

I'd work for you, I'd even slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I'd gladly move the earth for you
To prove my love, dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you, darling, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?
I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you
I'd tear the stars down from the skies for you
If that isn't love, it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you, baby, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?
I'd lie for you, I'll cry for you
I'd lay my body down and die for you
But if that isn't love, it's gonna have to do
Until the real thing comes along

Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in New York way
where the people are so gay, twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find the old and young twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
but oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin' the night away
He's dancing with a chick in slacks, she's moving up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothing like twistin' the night away
Feel much better
Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's dancing with an older queen
dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin' the night away
Man you ought to see her go, twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you'll find the young and the old twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's doing great
They're twistin' man, twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Twistin', you know they're twistin', twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find young and the old twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
I don't know but man you ought to see him go

(Campbell/Courtney/Connelly)

Never been a millionaire,
and I tell you momma, I don't care.
Never gonna own a race-horse
or a fast back mid-engine Porsche.
Don't think I'll own a private jet,
on the Stock Exchange I'm no threat.
So won't you help me make up my mind?
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home? (Oh, yeah)
Sittin' in the moonlight glow,
excuse me if my feelings show.
Watchin' all the trucks roll by,
dreamin' up an alibi.
You see, back home I'm considered the fool,
but maybe they're right, I don't know.
So can't you help make up my mind?
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home? (Who cares?)
Daddy says he'll buy me car
to drive, just as far as I need.
He wants me back at any expense,
he's got a lot more money than sense.
Funny but now that I've grown
they all wanna be concerned.
Oh please, can you make up my mind?
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home?
Just don't know what to do.

Looking out on the city tonight and I'm wondering why
Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong
I am lost in an ocean of mixed emotions now
Everything I held sacred now has gone
Here am I far from home
Learning how to be alone
Silly me, I should of guessed
Never settle on second best
Time for me to re-assess
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, down ways
Heading into trouble
Now, I'm losing you
It's gonna be a lonely summer without you 'round
I'll even miss the way you sing off key
Down in the market the reggae bands won't sound the same
Old Joe says without you they just don't believe
Now, I am no longer sure
Who's gonna open every door
The love I take and couldn't share
The warmth I had but didn't care
To give myself I never dared
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, down ways
Heading into trouble
Now, I'm losing you
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, down ways
Heading into trouble
Now, I'm losing you
Hope it all goes well in the future for you my dear
Hope you find where your heart truly belongs
I don't know about me and tomorrow
'Cause you're gonna be a hard act to follow
I'll miss you baby every day even though you're far away
Here's to you in every way
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, down ways
Heading into trouble
Now, I'm losing you
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, down ways
Heading into trouble
Now, I'm losing you
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, down ways
Heading into trouble
Now, I'm losing you
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, down ways
Heading into trouble

Here I stand looking, looking around me
While all around me, what do I see?
Unhappy faces behind a painted smile
Heartache and loneliness dressed up in modern style
Unhappy people living in sin and shame
Reflections of myself, life is no easy game
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
Here I stand looking, looking around me
While all around me, what do I see?
(Young girls who'll soon become)
Young girls who'll soon become
(Walkers on the avenue)
Streetwalkers in the night
(Young boys of the neighborhood)
Young boys, the restless breed
(Tell me what they're gonna do)
Looking for a fight
(Children who are rich and poor)
Children both rich and poor
They're searching for the truth
If they don't find it
God help tomorrow's youth
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
Aah, the trade, aah, the trade winds
Trade winds of our time
Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me
While all around me, what do I see?
(Hatred, yes and jealously)
Hatred and jealousy
(Brotherhood is dying up)
Brotherhood is dying
(Love is what we really need)
Love is the answer
But nobody's buying
Good people turning bad
Some don't but they are few
The winds are blowing
The choice is all up to you
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
Yes, we're caught up in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
We are riding on the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
We are riding on the trade winds

Yeah - I can tell by the look in your eyes
You've been bored for a long
long time.
You need love and so do 1
let's turn it all around.
I don't want an everlasting thing
I don't care if I see you again.
So grab your coat and Honey
tell your friends
You won't be home
you won't be home
you won't be home.
Tonight I'm yours - do anything that you want me to
Don't hurt me
don't hurt me. Tonight I'm yours -
Do anything cause I want you to
just don't hurt me
Babe.
Yeah - I don't really wanna challenge you
Marry you or remember you.
I just wanna make love to you
For 24 hours or more
or more.
I'm only looking for a fantasy -
An interlude from reality.
Don't want nobody tryin' to rescue me
So rock me Babe
rock me Babe
rock me
rock me.
Tonight I'm yours - . . .
And tomorrow morning we won't cry
You go your way Honey
I go mine.
I'm the one who didn't waste your time -
Remember me this way.
And if you never see my face again
Think of me as a permanent friend -
The one that loved you like a hurricane
Then disappeared
disappeared
disappeared.
Tonight I'm yours - . . .
Tonight I'm yours - . . .
Tonight you're mine
tonight you're mine
Do anything

If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the mirror
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echoes of my footsteps
and can't remember the sound of my own name
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver singin' river
There's beauty in the sunlight in the sky
But none of these, and nothing else
can steal the beauty
that I remember in my true love's eyes
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I feel you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringin' ya back again, hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love that I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by
Ya got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin' 'cause
I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do
This old heart (ooh)
I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do
Yes, I do, wait for me
I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keep me cryin'
The way you're treatin' me leaves me incomplete
Yeah, you're here for the day, gone for the week
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) waits for you
SPOKEN And I love ya
I love you-ou-ou (hoo hoo)
This old heart waits for you (scream)
This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I feel you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringin' ya back again, hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside, girl
'Cause each day that passes by
Ya got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin' 'cause
I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do (old heart of mine waits for you)
I lo-o-o-ove you, yes, I do
Yes, I do

This old heart, darlin' (this old heart)
Will wait for you
I love you-ou-ou-ou
This old heart, darlin' (this old heart)
Will wait for you (scream)
I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do, yes, I-I-I-I do (scream)
I love you-ou-ou, yes, I do, yes, I-I-I-I do (scream)
I love you

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
The scent of smouldering leaves the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange, how sweet, to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you so near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Remind me of you

Born and raised
In a motel in New Orleans
I ran away
With a hobo and his gipsy friends
We rode a freight train up to Cleveland
'Cross the Utah plains
Proud men, troubadours tall ...
Sleepin' under the stars
While gently strummin' guitars
Played the songs of Woddy Guthrie
And the open road
I knew right then I could never go home
'Cause the Wild horse runs free forever
Oh yeah, a wild horse runs free forever
And ever and ever
I met a girl
>From a family of position and wealth
Whant a hand
This rambler had been finally dealt
I blew six years and then
I felt the walls closing in
Like a swollen river
That's overflowin'
Like a losin' gambler I kept on rollin'
And a wild horse runs free forever
Yeah yeah yeah
A wild horse runs free forever
The wild horse runs free forever
Yeah yeah yeah
A wild horse runs free forever
Play the guitar
So understand I must go
But I'll drink you one last toast
Oh here's to the heart
And the hands of a man
That come with the dust
and are gone with the wind
May the wild horse run free forever
yeah the wild horse runs free forever
The wild horse runs free forever
Yeah the wild horse run free forever
Wild guitar, baby, come on, wild. I know
I know, I know. Play it for me, come on.
Yeah, hit it. Yeah yeah. Let me hear it, yeah.

Sometimes I walk away
When all I really wanna do
Is love and hold you right
There is just one thing I can say
Nobody loves you this way it's all right
Can't you see the downtown lights?
In love we're all the same
We're walking down an empty street
And with nobody comin' on me
Empty street, empty night
The downtown lights
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know it's true?
It's alright
Tonight and every night
Let's go walking down this empty street
Let's walk in the cool evening night
Wrong or right, be at my side
The downtown lights
It will be alright, it will be alright
The downtown lights
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know it's true?
It's alright, it's alright
The downtown lights
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know it's true?
The downtown lights
Neons, every cigarettes, the rented rose and rented cars
The crowded streets, the empty bars
Chimney tops, the trumpets, the golden lights, the loving prayers
Colored shoes, the empty trains, I'm tired of crying on the stairs

Well, my brother said he saw you in a downtown bar
With a price on your head and a black man on your arm
C'mon sister, I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
I'd rather see you dead with a rope 'round your neck
Or see you paralyzed in both your thighs
C'mon honey, you got me crawling down on my knees
If you say it's all over, I'll pack up and go
But this time tomorrow you'll be screamin' on the phone
Come back baby and let's get naked tonight
Well, I can't say yes and I can't say no
My heart wants to love you but my soul says go
C'mon sugar why don't you let your man off the hook?
You got me in a balltrap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a balltrap
Hung up on a one night stand
You got me in a balltrap
Strung out on a midnight tram
Well, the first time I had you up on ol' Park Lane
You didn't know my name even when I came
As I recall you let me walk home in the rain
You say I'm cute but tell the truth
It's my body you want with the red hot juice
C'mon honey, let's call the whole thing off
You got me in a balltrap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a balltrap
Hung up on a one night stand, aw
You got me in a balltrap
Strung out on a midnight tram, oh yeah, aw
Ooh, alright, wait a minute
My mama don't like you and I ain't surprised
You got poison lips, you got amphetamine eyes
She keeps on saying, "Why don't you find a nice country girl?"
But ma I ain't never been in love before, I can't sleep or eat all week
Friday night I'll be alright, on the midnight trampoline, aw
It's a balltrap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a balltrap
Hung up on a one night stand
You got me in a balltrap
Strung out on a midnight tram, [Incomprehensible], aw
C'mon sister, aw, alright
You got me in a balltrap
Hung up on a midnight tram
[Incomprehensible]

That's all right my mama, that's all right for you
That's all right my mama any old way you do
But that's all right, well that's all right
Well that's all right my mama
any way that you wanna do
My mother she did tell me
Papa did tell me too
Son, that woman that you're foolin' with
she ain't no good for you
I'll be leaving here tomorrow
leaving here for sure
you ain't gotta be bothered with me

I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all,
That's all
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all,
That's all.
There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love time can never destroy.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,
That's all.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up and down my spine
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
That same old tingle that I feel inside
When that elevator starts its ride
'Round and 'round I go, up and down I go
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide.
I should stay away but what can I do ?
I hear your name and I'm aflame
A flame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss can put out the fire.
You're the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby, 'round and 'round I go, up and down I go
In a spin, I'm loving that spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love.
I should stay away but what can I do ?
I hear your name and I'm aflame
A flame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss can put out the fire.

Baby, 'round and 'round I go, up and down I go

Under that old black magic called love.
I should stay away but what can I do ?
I should stay away but what can I do ?
I should stay away

Thanks for the memory
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line
How lovely it was!
Thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes
And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes
How lovely it was!
Many's the time that we feasted
And many's the time that we fasted
Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted
We did have fun and no harm done
And thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
So thank you so much.
Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse
And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse"
How lovely it was
Thanks for the memory
Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case
And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only ace
How lovely it was!
We said goodbye with a highball
Then I got as "high" as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us
So, thanks for the memory
And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you?
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true?
Aw'flly glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-oo

The wind cries on the boardwalk
Oh God, it's cold tonight
Somewhere in the city
Someone's holding her tight
He's telling her she's beautiful
Touching her long blond hair
He's found out all the secret
We swore we'd never share
Oh, it drives me crazy
To think of her with him
Come back, baby
Come back home again
Ten days of rain
Ten days of rain
Oh, my heart is filled with pain
Will she ever come back again?
Ten days of rain
She said I'm tried of talking
trying to get it through to you
You never tell me you love me
That's all I want you to do
I thought we had a future
Something to hold on to
We even talked of children
Something I never do
She loved me like no other
She held me like a child
Come back baby, come back home again
Ten days of rain
Ten days of rain
Oh, my heart is filled with pain
Will she ever come back again?
Ten days of rain
The thought of her still haunts me
Her voice is everywhere
Ten days of rain
Ten days of rain
I can hear the freight train whistle
I can hear the church bells toll
But telephone line, when it's off the hook
That's the loneliest sound of 'e?m all
In the letter that she wrote me
Before she went away
She said darling, always remember
Love ain't a hard word to say
Ten days of rain
Ten days of rain, such pain
Will she ever come back again
I don't know, I don't know
Come back baby, I'm so lonely baby
Ten days of rain, ten days of rain
Is it raining all, is it raining all

You come to me with open arms
Tryin' to rectify my charms
You say tonight, I'm to be your lover
And by the morning light I'm to discover
Everything that you've held inside of you
What's a man like me supposed to do
Sweet, oh sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
You tell me that you're lonely and you're sad
And tonight, I'm to be your only man
You wear those things that turn my head
You ruffle my ego but not my bed
Seems like summer when you're close at hand
If I seem eager then you'll understand
Sweet, sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
Heart is tired and full of doubt
Now you've sucked me in don't spit me out
Lay your head down next to mine
And in each others arms we'll entwine
Look me straight in the eyes and tell me
Between your heart and mind I see
Sweet, oh sweet surrender

You always won, everytime you placed a bet
You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk
You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said was never piay the game too long
A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't fake
And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're still the same
You still aim high
There you stood, everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say
'Cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some thlngs never change

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody

Sonny, I've been missing you tonight
Sonny, something deep inside me has died
I gave up the purest love
A woman could give to a man
Everything I ever had
Has slipped right through my hands
'Cause she walks like you
She talks like you
She feels like you
But she ain't you
She smiles like you
Cries like you
Denies like you
But she'll never be you
Sonny, she don't move me anymore
Sonny, I've never hurt this way before
She's trying hard to replace you
But there's something she'll never know
She can borrow all your style
But she'll never possess your soul
'Cause she acts like you
Attacks like you
She cracks like you
But she ain't you
She needs like you
Pleads like you
Feels like you
But she'll never be you
Sonny
Sonny
I'm down on my knees
Sonny won't you come back, come back
Come back to me please
Someday, we'll hide the pain away and
Sonny, I know that, that we can laugh again
I should have known and had more sense
Sinking to a childish pride
All I got was your looking glass
Without your heart inside
'Cause she craves like you
Behaves like you
Lays like you
But she ain't you
She plays like you
Prays like you
Does everything like you
But she ain't you
She hides like you
Denies like you
Sighs like you
But she ain't you
Sonny
Sonny
Sonny, won't you come back?
Come back to me?
Sonny
Sonny

How can you say life is getting Lou down?
Get yourself out
go along with the crowd.
You're all dressed up
got nowhere to go
You feel left out 'cos nobody showed. - Listen
Babe:
And when you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you - somewhere.
Somebody special is thinking of you
Somebody special is dreaming of you.
Somebody special is longing for you
Somebody special
special.
Magazine dreams are easy stuff
But heaven knows they ain't good enough
Picture yourself from reel to reel
And get your hands on that driving wheel.
When it's hard to satisfy a simple
simple fantasy
Somebody somewhere is on your side -
Waiting for you
crying.
Somebody special is looking for you
Somebody special is searching for you
Somebody special is waiting for you
Somebody special
somebody special.
Maybe your heart's tormenting you
Why should it have any reason to?
Wipe off that negativity
put on some positivity.
And when you think you're the only one . . .
Somebody special is dreaming for you
Somebody special is looking for you
Somebody special is waiting for you
Somebody special

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
Alone in a crowd on a bus after work
And I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms
My arms are empty
How does it feel when the girl next to you
Says she loves you
It seems so unfair when there's love everywhere
But there's none for me
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
Someone to take on a walk by the lake
Lord, let it be me
Someone who's shy
Someone who'll cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out
She was fooling me
You're just a dream and as real as it seems
I ain't that lucky
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
All of my friends have a ring on their finger
They have someone
Someone to care for them, it ain't fair
I got no one
The car overheated, I called up and pleaded
There's help on the way
I called you, collect you, didn't accept you
Had nothing to say
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain
But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore ?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know
You're just time away
Long ago I reached for you
And there you stood
Holding you again could only
Do me good
Oh how I wish I could
But you're so far away
One more song about moving along the highway
I can't say much of anything that's new
But if I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore ?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know
You're so far away
So far away, yeah, you're so far away
Travelling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
And I sure hope the road don't get to own me
There's so many dreams that I've yet to find
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore ?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know
You're so far away

Who must I be for you to love me?
Endlessly, hopelessly, like I, do you?
And where do I touch, when I need to so much
In a rush, wish you trust like I do
And I have tried to please her
(Oh, yeah)
Much to my demise
Please say somethin' to ease my mind
She gets quiet every time
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less, yeah, yeah
Tricked by her smile, she needs me for a while
And I yearn, in return I am burned
Confess, I'm a mess and there ain't too much left
But if she asked for it I'd give it in a minute
(Ah, yeah)
And I have tried to please her
(Yes, I am)
Much to my demise
Please, please say somethin' to ease my achin' mind
She gets quiet every time, every time
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less
(Now listen)
I'm the one with quiet anger in oblivion
Tear tracks smear the smile on my face
And I am deep in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, y'all
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less
(Care less, care less, care less)
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less, care less
(Oh, yes)
Hello, allow me to introduce myself
I am smitten and she couldn't care less
Yeah, she, she couldn't care less
She couldn't care less
There ain't nothin' I can do about it
No, no, no, no, no

Stewart/J. Ben
All the night she dressed to kill
Fish net tights with red high heels
All the boys say she's cold as ice
I won't sleep until I'm satisfied
Keep on watchin' her across the room
Waitin' for the band to play a faster tune
I want her number but I'm scared to ask
I wanna dance and I want her ass
Want to fuck her, she's no relief
I don't know what's wrong with me
Dance with me
She won't dance with me
Why won't she dance wih me
She won't dance with me
Dance, dance, dance, dance with me
Why won't she dance with me
Come on, dance with me
Dance, dance, dance, dance with me
Here she comes floatin' down the street
Synthesized eyes wearin' cellophane jeans
Practicin' the art of sexuality
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
Got a hard on, honey, that hurts like hell
If I don't ask her somebody else will
Dance with me
Don't wanna dance with you
Why won't you dance with me
Why should I dance with you
Dance, dance, dance
Please dance with me, baby
I won't dance with you
I won't dance with you
Why should I dance with you

Listen while I talk to you

Move your body all around

Shake, keep on pushin' baby
Shake, oh, a little louder baby
Shake, baby, everybody

Move your body like a whip
Just shake, got to, little louder baby
Shake, lookin' good child
Shake, keep on pushin' baby
Shake, baby, everybody
Ding a ling a ling
Honey, shakin' is the latest thing
But if you really roll
You got to do the thing with soul
Shakin' like a bowl of soup
Make your body loop de loop
Put your hand on your hip bone
Come on, and let your backbone slip
Make your body loop a lot
Just shake, you got to do it baby
Shake, oh, yeah, lookin' good child
Shake, Lord, in the mornin'
Got to shake, baby, everybody
Ah, you're lookin' good baby, much

You better shake it, shake it on down baby
Well, every evenin' got to do him a shake

Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
but if you've ever waited for the sun
you know what it's like to wish daytime would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Hard times are only the other side of good times
but if you ever wished hard times were gone
you know what it's like to wish good times would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Help me, seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
You know it makes me sad
seems like a long time, seems like a long time
seems like a long, long time
War time is only the other side of peace time
but if you've ever seen how wars are won
you know what it's like to wish peace time would come
And don't it seem like a long time

It's a common misconception
About a man's role in this world
A provider and survivor and
A winner who must never fail
But oh, how he needs a woman
To reassure and give him strength
Through the darkest nights and the hardest fights
When there's no other corner left
When the world outside is threatenin'
And all his dreams have been destroyed
Take him in your arms watch all his guards
Melt like a little boy
Tell him, you really need him
Tell him, you really care
Tell him, you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied
And he may not find it easy
To say what's on his mind
When he's full of doubt, say, "We'll work it out"
God knows how hard he's trying
And he may never buy you roses
And forget to notice your hair
But as long as he says, "I love you my dear"
That's all you need to hear
Tell him, you really need him
Tell him, you'll aways care
Tell him, you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied
And they say, the heart's a hunter
But it's truth you can't deny
He may never be everything you want
But for you, he'd lay down and die
So Friday night when the phone rings
And he's stuck in a downtown bar
Roll away the stone 'cause the last mile home
Is the longest mile of them all
Tell him, you really need him
Tell him, you'll always care
Tell him, you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied
Tell him, you really want him
Tell him, you understand
And tell him that you love him

You ain't gonna get me honey no way
Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain
Escaping from my wedding day
I heard the bells ringing in the local church
The ceremony's nearly under way
Telegrams came and the cheap champagne
Was driving everybody out of their brains
I convinced my best friends
I lost my nerve and I pleaded I was being framed
"Sailor show me which way to go"
I screamed out loud
"Sailor show me which way to go"
Such a deadly silence due to my defiance
The wedding ground to a halt
Said I changed my mind
Ain't no use in your trying
So her brother punched me in the throat
Her mother got hysterical the bitch was cynical
Father's in the corner drunk picking myself off the floor
I ran to the door, down the fire escape and on my way
"Sailor show me which way to go"
You should have heard the noise
Said "Sailor show me which way to go"
So keep clean girlie
Find a man that's truly
Gonna love you
From dusk till dawn
Keep your front door key don't give him up for me
'Cause tomorrow I may be gone
You see, your would be keeper's
Still an all night creeper
Nobody gonna change him now
Who thinks a marriage license
Should be like a dog's license
So let's renew it when the year runs out
Sailor show me which way to go
Sailor show me which way to go
She had a body full of lust

Don't mind telling you, in my humble fash
That you thrill me through, with a tender pash,
When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe
I swore then and there, permanent devoshe,
You made all other men seem blah
Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh......
's wonderful, 's marvellous
you should care for me!
's awful nice, 's paradise,
's what I love to see.
You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous!
Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,
That you should care for me!
's magnificque, 's what I seek
You should care for me.
's elegant, 's what I want,
's what I love to see.
My dear, it's four leaved clover time,
From now on my heart's working overtime,
's exceptional, 's no bagatelle,
That you should care for...
That you should care for...

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright or in the darkest night
Nobody knows, she goes and goes
Goodbye, ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost at such a cost
Goodbye, ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time, lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind, ain't life unkind?
Goodbye, ruby Tuesday
Goodbye, ruby Tuesday
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye, ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day

Dealers keep dealin'
Thieves keep thievin'
Whores keep whorin'
Junkies keep scorin'
Trade is on the meat rack
Strip joints full of hunchbacks
Bitches keep bitchin'

That's the way it's stayin', baby

Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade
The flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere someway
Where they're downing only deer a hundred steel towns away
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words I love you rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
Photographs and kerosene
Light up my darkness, light it up, light it up
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby, oh baby
Oh, the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words I love you rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing, I'll be sailing, ah yeah
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins
Shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face
Ah, the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words I love you rolling off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
Ah, the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words I love you rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
The rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words I love you rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home

I met her in a little
French cafe
Legs like a young giraffe
She was sitting reading
Baudelaire
Not exactly working class
She had a studio in St. Michel
Crucifix around her waist
Che Guevara all over the wall
She can't stand the sun on her face
Hey boys, what a look
Stop a train at fifty feet
Matching hair, matching clothes and eyes
Kinda like a tiger in heat
Red hot in black
Red hot in black
Revolution running through her veins
A radical from head to toe
The only record that she ever played
Was "just like a rolling stone"
We started talking by the candlelight
Her lips get closer to mine
We started dancing all around the room
Helped by a bottle of wine
Hey boys, mystery
Didn't even know her name
One night in Paris, with a girl like that
Never going home again
Red hot in black
Red hot in black
Oh my, when I woke up
She'd already gone out to her work
My head was aching and my back was scratched
I've never, never, never known a night like that
Took a walk along the avenue
So in love and so confused
My plane was leaving in half an hour
What would you have done in my shoes?
Hey boy, so you see
Couldn't get outa my head
My regards to the folks back home
Gonna spend some time with red
Red hot in black

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
I never think about myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd try to leave all the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
I never think about myself
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Oh, the summertime is gone
And the leaves are sweetly turning
And the wild mountain thyme
Blooms across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go
If you will not go with me
I will never find another
To pick, wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go
And we?ll all go together
To pick, wild mountain thyme
All among the purple heather
Will you go, lassie go
Lassie go
I will build, my love a tower
By the cool crests of waters
And I'll cling to her forever
Like the ivy to the heather
Will you go, lassie, go
And we?ll all go together
To pick, wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will you go, lassie go
Lassie, go
Will you go, lassie, go
And we?ll all go together
To pick, wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will you go, lassie go
And we?ll all go together
To pull, wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie go

Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton I must have played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine
Feelin' all the bumpers, always playin' clean
Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's
Got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it? I don't know, what makes him so good?
Ain't got no distractions, can't hear those buzzes and bells
Don't see lights aflashin', plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay, never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
I thought I was the body table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
Even on my favorite table, he can't beat my best
His disciples lead him in and he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper' fingers, never seen him fall

Uh, oh, here she come
She got them gold hot pants on again
Yeah, man
I wanna talk, but I dunno
She's a Peach
She was dark, she was tan
She made me glad to be a man
She was young, she was smart
Just one glance and she stole my heart
The kinda girl you wanna teach
She's a Peach
Summertime, feelin' fine, getting wild
All that's on my mind
Here she come, dressed in red
Get her done, is all that's in my head
Her hot pants can't hide her cheeks
She's a Peach
She was pure, every ounce
I was sure when her titties bounced
Every way, she's a winner
Turn a gay preacher to a sinner
No one you want your mama meet
She's a Peach
This is a girl plays hard to get
I would die if I kissed her
I would try, but I'm last on her list
She's so cool and I'm so ugly
I'd be a fool to think she could love me
This kinda girl's always out of reach
She's a Peach

Stewart/ Chen, Savigar, Cregan, Grainger
Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Lookin' pretty dangerous
Runnin' out of patience
Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are bein' twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated
In the bars and the cafes (Passion)
In the streets and the alleys (Passion)
Lot of pertending (Passion)
Everybody's searching (Passion)
* Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody
To hold on to (yeah)
Passion, passion, passion, passion
New York, Moscow (Passion)
Hong Kong, Tokyo (Passion)
Paris and Bangkok (Passsion)
Lot ofpeople ain't got (Pasion)
Hear it on the radio (Passion)
Read it in the paper (Passsion)
Hear it in the churches (Passion)
See it in the schoolyard (Passion)
(* Repeat 2 times)
Somebody to hold on to
Alone in your bed at night (Passion)
It's a half past midnight (Passion)
As you turn out your side light (Passion)
Ooh something ain't right (Passion)
There's no passion, there's no passion
There's no passion, I need passion
You need passion, we need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion
Can't live without passion
Even the president needs passion
Everybody I know needs some passion
Some people die and kill for passion
Nobody admits they need passion

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Oh, but our love is here
Our love is here
But our love is here to stay

When my friends told me you had someone new,
I didn't believe a single word was true.
I told them all I had faith in you.
I kept a-right on sayin'
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who play with the men hearts like they were toys.
My mama told me, Son, when rumors spread
that there is truth somewhere, and you should use your head."
But I sure didn't listen to what she said, don't you know
I kept a-right on sayin'
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who lead you on and
tell you lies

"Oo La La"
Poor old grandad
I laughed at all his words,
I thought he was a bitter man
(When) He spoke of women's ways.
They'll trap you, and use you
And before you ever know;
For love is blind and you're far too kind,
don't ever let it show.
Chorus:
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was younger
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was stronger.
The Can-Can's such a pretty show
it steals your heart away
The backstage's back on earth again
the dressing rooms are great.
They come on strong and it ain't too long
for to make ya' feel a man.
But love is blind and ya soon will find
you're just a boy again.
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was younger
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was stronger.
Oh yeah, oh yeah
oo hoo hooo oo hoo hooo
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
makes you wonder where ya are.
If you want some more then she's fast asleep,
leaves you twinklin' with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say,
you'll have to learn just like me,
and that's the hardest way.
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was younger
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was stronger.
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was younger
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was stronger.
Ooh la la Ooh la la yeah yeah,
Ooh la la Ooh la la yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh La la Ooh la La
Ooh la la yeah yeah yeah yeah

The rain poured down the wind-swept Avenue
On another dark wet December-afternoon.
AII my cherished memories are of you
AII my warmth and comfort stayed with you.
I would have wrote you a letter
But the telephone calls are free
'cos the boys in the next apartment
Are working all day.
They're a great bunch of guys
But I think they're all gay.
What am I doing avoiding what I'm trying to say?
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight -
With you in my arms.
But oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
Send me a naked picture by the U.S.Mail
Write a pornographic letter - you know I won't tell.
Keep you're legs closed tight
Keep your body under lock and key
Stay home at night and
Save all the best parts for me - yeah
baby.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight -
I do
baby
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
I could be home in time for Christmas
If you want me to be
There's a plane leaves here at midnight
Arriving at three.
But I'm a bit financially embarassed I must admit
To tell you the truth
my honey - I haven't a cent.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight - tonight
baby
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
Guess I'd better ring off before the boys get home
My regards to all your family and everyone at home
There's a lump comes in my throat and a tear I can't hide
'cos I want to see you so badly I just may die.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight - with the ones that I love
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight
Oh my God
I wish I was home toniclht.
I've been hearing voices out on the street
They say you've found someone else who's really quite near.
Bet he doesn't love you like I do
tell me what I wanna hear

A friend of mine called up,
said, "I fin'lly had some luck-
Could I have a minute of your time.
I met a girl last night
try as I might,
I can't get her off of my mind.
She walked in the room and right then I knew
I fin'ly found somebody for me.
But to tell you the truth,
I don't know what to do.
Should I go ahead or wait and see?"
I said, "Give it all you got,
no holding back.
Let a light in your soul.
Ain't it better to lose in love
than to never love at all?
Than to never love at all?"
Now I'm the kind of guy
who's normally quiet shy.
On romance, I don't know a thing.
But when she led me to the floor,
never danced before.
Suddenly my feet had wings.
I know that she wnats me,
I want her too,
but I'm so confused.
I can't think straight.
I feel so alive,
but on the other side,
should I go ahead or should I wait?
I said, "Give it all you got,
no holding back.
Let a light in your soul.
Ain't it better to lose in love
than to never love at all?
Ain't it better to lose in love
than to never love at all?".
Than to never love at all?"
So, when the music starts
to flow from your hearts
like the coming of an early spring,
whe nthe river starts to flow
between your soul to soul,
may no man ever come between.
Die in her arms if she wants you to.
Be thankful for each passin' day.
When your odds collide,
let your spirits fly
and pray to God it's here to stay.
And I said, "Give it all You got,
no holding back.
Let a light in your soul.
Ain't it better to lose in love
than to never love at all?
Give it all you got,
no holding back.
Let a light in your soul.
Ain't it better to lose in love
than to never love at all,
than to never love at all,
than to never, never love at all?"
Ain't it better to lose in love

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love
The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night while you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love
The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender

I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts
Seemed romantic fools
A house in Iceland
Was my heart's domain
I saw your eyes
Now castles rise in Spain!
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still
All that moment when
My heart stood still
My heart stood still

I got the mopper's blues, I got the mopper's blues
I got the mopper's blues, I got the mopper's blues
I got the mopper's blues
I'm the happiest man in town, alright
I feel so good, I feel so good
I feel so good, lord, I feel so good
I feel so good
I'm the happiest man in town
I got the mopper's blues, I got the mopper's blues
I got the mopper's blues, I got the mopper's blues
I got the mopper's blues
I'm the happiest man in town, yeah
I feel so good, I feel so good
I feel so good, lord, I feel so good
I feel so good
I'm the happiest man in town
I ain't got no home, I ain't got no home
I ain't got no home, I ain't got no home
I ain't got no home

Here is a story that is bound to amuse ya
(About a fine young couple startin' out in life)
A dedicated husband and a real fine worker
(Who lived for his children and his beautiful wife)
But one night in Dallas at a computer convention
(He got so loaded he could hardly stand)
Woke up with a heavy head and a strange girl beside him
(Returned home a worried guilty man)
But inside his coat his wife found a note
It said, "Thanks for the good time, can I see you again?"
She asked him, "Why oh why?" Tears rollin' down her eyes
Would you give it all up for a moment of glory
Glory
Packed up all her bags and returned to her mother
(Two small children clinging to her dress)
Hurt and disillusioned but never down hearted
(She picked up the pieces of her broken life)
And meanwhile back in Boston the culprit lie thinkin'
(Trying to find the answer in a bottle of wine)
Fired from his job and missing his children
(He didn't care one way if he lived or died)
Oh, what a crying shame nobody else to blame
For one night of pleasure he had given her pain
Oh, how it was so hard to climb so far to give it all up
For a moment of glory
Glory
As the months rolled by and accusations fly
The bloodsuckin' lawyers know they're in for a kill
The cold war begins she's takin' off her rings
Close friends take sides while the waters are still
Phone rang twice in his stone cold apartment
(It was his little boy Johnny and his sister Beth)
They said, "Daddy we miss you would you talk to Mommy"
(A line of communication he had sadly missed)
She said, "Now don't get me wrong this is where you belong"
I said, "Goodbye children we can work it all out"
But don't you ever forget how this family has bled
'Cause you give it all up for a moment of glory
Glory
You give it all up
You give it all up
Won't you give it all up?
You give it all up
Girl, you give it all up
You give it all up
Won't you give it all up?

When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Then I know I love ya
Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assure that knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love ya
Oh I never was good with romantic words
So the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
Except of course my steel guitar
'Cause I know you don't play
But I'll teach you one day
Because I love ya
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down
No mandolin wind, couldn't change a thing
Couldn't change a thing, no no
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Could never, never change your mind, yeah
And I love ya
Yes indeed I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya

Perhaps itÚFFFF92s the color of the sun cut flat
and coverin' the crossroads IÚFFFF92m standing at
or maybe itÚFFFF92s the weather or something like that
but mama you been on my mind
I do not mean you trouble, donÚFFFF92t put me down, donÚFFFF92t get upset
I am not pleadinÚFFFF92 or sayinÚFFFF92 I canÚFFFF92t forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
mama you been on my mind
Even thoÚFFFF92 my eyes are hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
where you been donÚFFFF92t bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I donÚFFFF92t even mind where you be wakinÚFFFF92 up tomorrow
but mama you been on my mind
IÚFFFF92m not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, IÚFFFF92ve no place IÚFFFF92m calling you to go
IÚFFFF92m just whisperinÚFFFF92 to myself so I can pretend that I donÚFFFF92t know
Mama you been on my mind

Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
It's really killin'
That he's so willin' to make whoopee
Now picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring
He's washin' dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious, he even sews
But don't forget folks
That's what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Another year or maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee
She sits alone, most every night
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write
He says he's busy but she says, "Is he?"
He's makin' whoopee
Now he doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge thinks, he's funny
Says, "You'll pay six to her"
I says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge said, "Rod, Rod in the jail", oh no
I'd better keep her, oh man it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee
Than makin' whoopee
Than makin' whoopee
Than makin' whoopee

Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I fell I'm being used
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The morning sun when it's in your eyes really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a helping hand
But you turned into a lover and mother
What a lover, you wore me out, all you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collected my books and go on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living at playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand
Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
I'd never seen your face

La, la, la, la
Whatcha doin', whatcah doin', whatcha doin' right now
Have you found another lover, are you out of town
I won't leave another message right after the tone
Cause I know you got the others and you still don't call
There's no magic, no sunshine
(No magic, sunshine)
No rainbow in my life
(No rainbow)
Look at all the things you took from me
Baby, I'm loveless
(Loveless)
Feelin' so hopeless
(Hopeless)
Feelin' so foolish
(Foolish)
For bein' so helpless
Baby, I'm loveless
(Loveless)
It's like you couldn't care less
(Care less)
If you did, you'd come right back to me
Ooh, la, la, la, la
Tell me what I'm gonna do about this feelin' inside
(What I'm gonna do)
Got me tossin' and turnin' in the middle of the night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like an animal strugglin' in a trap
'Cause I can't go forward and I can't go back
(I can't go back)
There's no springtime just winter
(No springtime winter)
And each mile gets colder
(And each time)
Look at all that pain you took from me
Baby, I'm loveless
(Loveless)
Feelin' so hopeless
(Hopeless)
Feelin' so foolish
(Foolish)
For bein' so helpless
Baby, I'm loveless
(Loveless)
It's like you couldn't care less
(Care less)
If you did, you'd come right back to me
(Why did you leave me)
Why did you leave me
(Why did you leave me)
(Why did you leave me)
(Why did you leave me)
Why did, why did
And the sun don't shine
It's just wintertime and every night
There's no one in my life
Look at all the things you took from me
Baby, I'm loveless
(Loveless)
Feelin' so hopeless
(Hopeless)
Feelin' so foolish
(Foolish)
For bein' so helpless
Baby, I'm loveless
(Loveless)
It's like you couldn't care less
(Care less)
If you did, you'd come right back
I'm loveless
(Loveless)
Feelin' so hopeless
(Hopeless)
Feelin' so foolish
(Foolish)
For bein' so helpless
Baby, I'm loveless
(Loveless)
It's like you couldn't care less
(Care less)
If you did, you'd come right back
I'm loveless
(Loveless)
Feelin' so hopeless
(Hopeless)
Feelin' so foolish
(Foolish)
For bein' so helpless
Baby, I'm loveless
(Loveless)
It's like you couldn't care less

Lady Luck
Here I am on time
Proppin' up the bar
with a glass of wine
Friday night
and I'm all spruced up and fine
I ain't goin' nowhere
Lady Luck
Why don't you pull up a chair
And bring your shine right wisdom
Darlin' over here
Your Gaelic humor
And your pious smile
All the cats'll be laugin' tonight
Now you may say it's a funny old world
You may say that the game ain't fair
Is there a plot or do you improvise
Or maybe you don't even care
Lady Luck
Ain't you the fickle kind
Why are some folks lucky
While the rest are tryin'
You keep on playin'
It's still a mystery
You're laced with a touch
of inconsistancy
So why don't you give us all a break
Make us all rich healthy and fine
Five months holidays and a four hour week
And a horse that wins all the time
Lady Luck
Hear the mandolins
Kind of makes you wonder
How it might have been
There go all
The funny place I've got
Back on the street again
Lady Luck
Yeah, it's late I know
Allow me to buy you one more folderol
And tell me something
I've been longin' to hear
It's gotta get better next year
'Cause I've seen some rainy days
My wedding suits are frayed and torn
But now the sun comes shining through
I've cried in my beer too long
Lady Luck, Lady Luck
Don't push me over
When I can't stand up, oh yeah
Sure it's a funny old world

baby
I don't know why
But somehow I always seem to get tangled up in my pride.
baby
we're not that blind
deep down inside you know
This love's worth one more try
don't push it all aside.
'Cause I wanna be good for you
I didn't mean to be bad
But darling
I'm still the best that you ever had.
Just give me a chance to let me show you how much
I wanna give you my love touch
I wanna give you my love touch.
Why can't I climb your walls and find somewhere to hide?
Can't I knock down your door and drag myself inside?
I'll light your candles
baby
and maybe I'll light your life
I wanna feel the breathless end that you come to every night.
This ever changing love is pushing me too far
I feel a need to reach you right now
wherever you are.
These empty arms are getting stronger every day
believe me
baby
They won't let you get away
they won't let you get away.
'Cause I wanna be good for you
I didn't mean to be bad
. . .
you're gonna get a

Just give me a chance to win back your trust

Baby

Honey

I need some love touch
Gimme your

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, woah, love hurts
You're young, I know but even so
I know a thing or two, I've learned from you
I really learned a lot, I really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, woah, love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, woah, love hurts
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, woah, love hurts
Love hurts, oh, love hurts, oh yeah
I know there's one thing, I know it ain't true

Darlin', I hate to tell you
But I think I'm catchin' a cold
Put another chair on the fire
Bring the bottle over here, I feel I'm gettin' old
I like your laugh and a hot romance
And your [Incomprehensible] sense of humor
But if it rains again like it did today
I'm gonna have to leave a little bit sooner
Gotta get me some South American sun
Honey, don't even ask me if you can come along
Down at the border, you need to be older
And you sure don't look like my daughter
Your ridiculous age start a state outrage
And I'll end up in a Mexican jail
Darlin', please don't cry
You know I wouldn't tell you no lie
[Incomprehensible] over there
Oh my God, don't look now
But it appears to be rainin' again
Get upstairs, pack my book of prayers
Honey, hurry, I'm catchin' pneumonia
I gotta move while I'm in the mood
Or I'll disappear into that wall
Darling, please don't curse
It really couldn't be any worse
Say I am a sun fanatic but it's dark in your attic
And your cat sleeps over my head
I know I'm not a football star
But I wanna little better than that
So I'm much obliged for the pure white ride
And a cup of tea every mornin'
I'll say goodbye, look your man in the eye
You know I wouldn't tell you no lie, yeah
I gotta get me some medical sign, oh Lord
So after all, I'll see you in the fall
On the brand new day, brand new way
Goodbye honey, goodbye honey
Goodbye honey, it ain't funny
Goodbye honey, I know it ain't funny

Hey baby

I'm so lonely
I just had to sit down and write.
I spent all yesterday trying to figure out what I'm gonna say
A letter from my heart is so hard to start
baby.
How's yovr momma? How's the weather? How's that son of mine?
Hey baby
been a long time since we made love
I'm stone cold
the bed's hard and the work is tough.
I'm never gonna leave you again
this job ain't worth the pain
No money in the world ain't worth beeing away from you.
Ooh baby
I don't sleep without you by my side
listen:
I'm in love with you woman
it's a common known natural fact
And I've found what I'm looking for but so much more than that.
I'm lost in you
I'm lost in you
I'm lost in you
I'm lost in you.
Hey baby
you don't know what you've done for me
I'm so happy as any man can deserve to be.
I was living in a life of sin
God knows what a mess I was in
So glad you found me
I ain't getting any younger.
Hey baby
I iust hope it ain't all a dream!
I'm in love with you woman
It's a common known natural fact
. . .
I miss you

I miss your laughter eyes
I miss our baby crying
I want to lay you out and kiss you all over.
I'm coming home real soon
Be ready

I'm gonna make love to you like fifteen men!
I'm lost in you and I love it!
I'm lost in you and I love it!
I'm lost in
I'm lost in

Long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast but now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you
Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew

Just a telegram when your plane touches down
Are you sure that I ain't talking to myself?
And when the seatbelt sign goes on
You know you're not alone
'Cause Jodie, I still love ya'
All the while
And I wish ya' all the best with your current success
Don't let the flash boys turn your head
And I don't mind you havin' friends
But your love is not to lend
'Cause Jodie, I still love ya'
Always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie, I still love ya'
All the while
And I'm gonna have to get by anyway
And you know with the winter comin' on, it's gonna be so hard
And I really really really really don't miss ya' anyway, not anyway
And you know how I lie
So I wish you all the best with your current success
Don't let the flash boys turn your head
And I don't mind ya' havin' friends
But your love is not to lend, remember
Jodie, I still love ya'
I'm always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie, I still love ya'
All the while
Jodie, I still love ya'
I'm always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie, I still love ya'

Where was you last night?
And the night before?
You've got his number implanted in your brain
He's been calling you, putting on a stupid name
I don't own you honey but give me some respect
Everyone's laughin', laughin' behind my back
And I'm jealous, yes I'm jealous
You're so cold baby, it ain't like it used to be
I'm suspicious, you're acting so deviously
Secret phone calls when you think I'm not around
You've been seen with him all over town
And I'm jealous when you look at someone else
I'm so jealous, I want you all to myself
I'm jealous babe, I'm so jealous
Now does he buy you ruby rings and perfumes from abroad?
Does he hypnotize you with things I can't afford?
Does he drive a Cadillac? Is he white or is he black?
What's he got that I ain't got? Is he really that big?
You bet your life I'm jealous babe, yeah
You've been seen with him all over town, baby
Yes, I'm jealous, goddamn jealous, yeah that's right
You've been to Angelo's for a quiet dinner for two
Then to Shakey Jake's where you danced until two
Then to his place where I know you spent the night
Got my spies girl and they're all on my side
Did he really blow your mind? Did he always treat you kind?
Does he kiss you like I do? Did he crawl all over you?
Did he have you on the floor? Were you screaming out for more?
Is he better than I am? Are you seeing him again?
I'm so jealous when you look at someone else
I'm so jealous, want you all myself
I'm so jealous, it's tearing me apart
I'm so jealous, it's ripping out my heart
I'm so jealous
I'm so jealous
Yes, I'm so jealous, babe
I told you once before
I'm eatin' out my heart, baby

At the touring motor show
I was dreaming of a mobile
That couldn't be mine
Not without lyin'
Was I feeling kind a silly
When I stepped in soakin? beer
Down the cola machine?
Oh, stayin? seventeen
Well she claimed, she was a killer
And she owned a flood lit villa
A little aways from the main highway
Oh take me way down yonder
She was tall, thin and tarty
And she drove a Maserati
Faster than sound
I was heaven bound
Although I must have looked a creep
In my army surplus jeep
Was I being too bold
Before the night could get old?
No, no, no, no, no, no
She proved me so wrong
Oh the Italian girls sometimes hold them religious habits
In front of your eyes just to get you tied
Ah but not my little Bella
?Cause I did not have to tell her
I?d rather you go with the morning sun
She made me so tired
She took me way, way, away down yonder
Till I was gone with the morning sun on my back
Gotta get on back there soon as I can
Take me there
And I miss the girl so bad, oh yeah
Wait a minute
She broke my heart
She broke my heart
She broke my heart
Gotta get on back there soon as I can
I miss the girl, I miss the girl
I miss the girl so bad

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Oh, it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It's a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It's a fools game

One can have a dream, baby.
Two can make a dream so real.
One can talk about being in love.
Two can see how it really feels.
One can wish upon a star.
Two can make a wish come true, yeah.
One can stand alone in the dark.
Two can make a light shine through.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby.,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
One can have a broken heart
living in misery.
Two can really ease the pain
like a perfect remedy.
One can be alone in a bar,
like an island he's all alone.
Two can make just any place
seem just like bein' at home.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby.,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
Yeah.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby,
just me and you.
You know it takes two. Ha!
One can go out to a movie
looking for a special treat.
Two can make that single movie
something really kind of meat.
And one can take a walk in the moonlight
thinking that's it's really nice.
But two lovers walking hand in hand
is like adding just a pinch of spice.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby.,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby,
just me and you.
You know it takes two.
Ooh doo doo doo doo.
Ooh doo doo doo doo.
Ooh doo doo doo doo.
Ooh.
It takes two, baby.
It takes two, baby,
just me and you.
You know it takes two. Ha!
It takes two, baby, yeah yeah,
Me and you, just me and you.

Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try to forget
It must have been something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "I have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall 'til we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad thinking of you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you
It had to be you
It had to be you, woah wonderful you

Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn't it romance?
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn't it romantic?

Pain, flows like a river, just keeps on livin'
with all them memories
Shame, you're so heartbroken
now you're scared to open and give your love again
And now anticipation waits for love
Will it be everything you dreamed this time around I know you have your
doubts
but I won't let you down
Darlin' if, if we fall in love tonight

Things can change, say you'll be all mine
I'm gonna love you all the time
Don't let it slip away
And now anticipation waits for love
Will it be everything you dreamed this time around
I know you've got your doubts
but honey I won't let you down

If only I'd ever listened
to all of my closest friends,
and knew that it was over
and the party had to end.
If only, I'd have noticed
the sadness in your eyes,
she'd still be in my arms tonight
if only.
If only I'd have realized
the unimprotance of being cool,
to give a kiss,
maybe just say,
"Darling I love you."
If only I'd said I'm sorry
I'd have been a much better man,
she'd still be in my arms tonight,
if only.
There's an emptiness
that fills my heart
now that she's not here.
I loved her more than my own life,
something I've always feared,
if only.
If only I'd come home at night
instead of stayin' out for one more drink,
if only I'd been unconcerned
what the other guys may think,
if only I'd held her tight,
but I guess it's too late now.
Oh how blind can one man be,
if only.
Whoa but I will not be sad
after all the fun we've had.
You live some
and you learn some, if only.
If only I could convince her
the importance of one more chance,
if only God would allow me
one more celestial dance,
If only I have the nerve
to call her up and tell her how I feel,
she'd still be in my arms tonight,
if only.
But it's only love
and love ain't real,
it's only a four letter word.
We spend half our lives chasing after it,
how wonderf'ly absurd,
if only.
Oo whoa but I will not be sad
after all the fun we had.
You live some and you learn some,
whoa but I will not be sad
after all the fun we had.
You live some and you learn some,
you learn some. if only.
If only I'd come home at night
instead of stayin' for one more drink,

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin.
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I will know so well
That I've got you under my skin ?
I'd sacrifice anything come what may
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear.
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win ?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
I'd sacrifice anything come what may
For the sake of having you near
In spite of that warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear.
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win ?
Use your mentality, wake up, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yeah, I've got that feeling my skin.

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.
I've got a song that I sing
And I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love ?
Life's a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let you go.
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, oh what a life, I'm in love.
But life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that string
I'd be a crazy so-and-so
If I should ever let you go, oh yeah.
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
What a world, what a life, I'm in love

The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher

What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Out with the fire off with the sweater
I got a heater coultn't be better will be
So confee all through the storm

How glad the many millions
Of Toms and Dicks and Williams
Would be
To capture me
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell
And it was swell
You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I will never never know
It's not that you're attractive
But oh my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
Could you coo
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I have got a crush,

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

Something told me it was over
when I saw you and him talking
Something deep down in my soul said "Cry boy"
when I saw you and him out walking
I would rather, I would rather go blind girl
than to see you walk away from me child
So you see I love you so much
I don't want to see you leave me baby
most of all I just don't, I just don't want to be free
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
of your kiss and your warm embrace child
When the reflection in the glass
that I been held to my lips now baby
revealed the tears I had on my face
I would rather, I would rather be blind child
than to see you walk away from me
Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind

I get no kick from Champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you ?
I get no kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I heard even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But I get a kick out of you .
I get a kick every time I see you
Standin' there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see
You obviously don't adore me.
I get no kick kick in a plane
Flying too high with some girl in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick every time I see you
Standin' there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see
That you obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick kick in a plane, oh yeah
Flying too high with some girl in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do, you know what, babe

I've been around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But man I can't get started with you
And at the golf course I'm under par
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But can't get no place with you
You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Baby but what good dose it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Gabel had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you
You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good does it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Basic had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted

Ain?t superstitious
Black cat crossed my trail
I ain?t superstitious
But a black cat crossed my trail
Bad luck ain?t got me so far
And I won?t let it stop me now
The dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood, that ain?t all
Dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood, hmm
This is a mean old world to live in
And I can?t face it all by myself, at all
And dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood
The dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood
I got a feelin? about the future
And it ain?t too good, I know that
I know, I know, I know, I
Ain?t superstitious
But a black cat crossed my trail
I said it so many times before
Ain?t superstitious
A black cat crossed my trail
Bad luck ain?t got me so far
And you know, I ain?t gonna let it stop me now

Human
I been lookin' in the mirror
Somethin's gettin' clearer
Wonderin' who am I
Just a chemical solution
Caught in evolution
Only livin' to survive
Or am I just another lifetime
Lookin' for a lifeline?
Cryin' when the sun don't shine
Am I runnin' through the ghetto?
Maybe I should let go
Of all the dreams inside
But who am I to reach so high?
And who am I to raise my eyes?
Want to live, I want to die
I can't do anything, I'll tell you why
I'm the one who took a walk on the moon
And I made the seven wonders too
There is nothin' that I cannot do
'Cause I am human
And there is nothing that I cannot be
I'm the one who sailed the seven seas
And I know that it is all in me
'Cause I am human
The blood that's runnin' through my veins
It tells me I'm the same as all the other ones gone by
In the air that I am breathin', emotions that I'm feelin'
Underneath the same blue sky
And I know if I believe it then I can achieve it
Nothin's standin' in my way
Then maybe history will make a place for me
And I'll be livin' for that day
But who am I to reach so high?
And who am I to raise my eyes?
Want to live, I want to die
I can't do anything, I'll tell you why
I'm the one who took a walk on the moon
And I made the seven wonders too
There is nothin' that I cannot do
'Cause I am human
There is nothing that I cannot be
I'm the one who sailed the seven seas
And I know that it is all in me
'Cause I am human
Not born to make mistakes
Not born to fade away
Not only livin' to survive
Don't tell me I am nothin'
Know that I am somethin'
Brother, don't you realize?
I'm the one who took a walk on the moon
And I made the seven wonders too
There is nothin' that I cannot do
'Cause I am human
There is nothing that I cannot be
I'm the one who sailed the seven seas
And I know that it is all in me
'Cause I am human
I'm the one, I am human

Who's that knocking on the door
It's got to be a quarter to 4
Is it you again
coming round for more
Well you can love me tonight if you want
But in the morning
Make sure you're gone
I'm talking to yer.
Hot legs you're wearing me out
Hot legs you can scream and shout
Hot legs are you still in school
I love you
honey.
Gotta most persuasive tongue
you promise all kinds of fun
But what you don't understand
I'm a working man
Gonna need a shot of vitamin E
By the time you're finished with me
I'm talking to yer.
Hot legs you're just an alley cat
Hot legs you're scratching my back
Hot legs bring your mother too
I love you
hone
Imagine how my daddy felt
In your jet black suspender belt
17 years old
he's touching 64
got legs right up to your neck
You're making me a physical wreck
I'm talking to yer.
Hot legs in your satin shoes
Hot legs are you still in school
Hot legs you're making me a fool
I love you honey.
Hot legs making your mark
Hot legs keep my pencil sharp
Hot legs keep your hands to yourself
I love you
honey.
Hot legs you're well equipped
Hot legs now your pussy's whipped

Let the band play one time now
Let the band play one time now
It was early one morning
I was on my way to school
Early one morning
I was on my way to school
Got lost on Monday morning
I broke my teachers rule
I was in love with you, baby
Before I learned to call your name
I was in love with you, baby
Before I learned to call your name
Now you're in love with someone else
You're bound to drive poor me insane
Oh, yeah girl
I said bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye
I said bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye
I said bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye
Bring it down here
I said bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye
Bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye
I said bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye
Yeah
Bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye
Bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye

On a hot summer's night in the year of '75
Jimmy Doyle took his child bride, Amanda, for a drive
She was only seventeen he just lived to see her smile
Their commitment to each other burned like a forest fire
Otis in the radio singing " Stand By Me"
As a trooper pulled them over
And said Jimmy where you been
Someone matching your description
Has just robbed the liquor store
Amanda said " He's been with me"
But they weren't listening anymore
Down at Precinct Number Five They questioned
Jimmy through the night
The sheriff said " He's gotta stand trial"
Armed robbery is the charge
Amanda said " This cannot be"
Gonna stay right here until you set him free
And I love him
Here to eternity
Forever Unto eternity
Oh God gave me something I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do
The old courthouse was crowded
As the judge reviewed the case In a year of re-election
He was desperate to impress Innocenct or guilty
He saw an opportunity
To send Jimmy down for life to the Penitentiary
Disbelief and anger
As they dragged him away
In a cell below the courthouse
They beat him like a slave
But his use of martial arts
Struck a blow for liberty
Felled a guard with a fist of iron
And killed him instantly
All the press surrounded Amanda
Coming down the courthouse steps
Pleading for her young man's life
And in a moment seen by millions
She bowed her head and cried
Show my man some mercy
He's the father of my child
I love him
Here to eternity
Forever Unto eternity
Oh God gave me something I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do I love him
Here to eternity
Jimmy Doyle appeared again
In a second public trail
For the murder of a prison guard
They sentenced him to die
But Amanda with her long red hair
Made one last plea
As the court fell into silence
She cried out desperately
This man of mine is innocent
As one day I shall prove
It's an open case of self defense
All this circumstantial evidence
You place before your court
Has robbed me of my husband
forget I will not
I love him
Here to eternity
Forever Unto eternity
Oh goodbye Jimmy ' Til we meet again
In a better world than this
I swear I'll clear your name
' Cos I love you
Here to eternity
am I still the same?
Only a boy laughing aloud, quick as a shot, nobody can stop.
Only a boy, plans of his own, leaving his home,
knows where he's going, only a boy.

Yeah, clap your hands
We're having a party
Dancing to the music
Played by the D.J.
On the radio
The cokes are in the icebox
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby, yeah
We're out here on the floor, oh yeah
So, Mister Mister D.J.

Such a good time
Dancing with my baby

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm,
I know;
It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know;
Shinin' down like water.
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know;
Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know;
It can't stop, I wonder.

This song ain't meant to be pretty
It ain't meant to make you dance
There's so many unsolved problems
Too many empty, angry hands
A little child in Ethiopia
Will die before this song is through
Poor eyes have only seen sadness
Oh God, show us what to do
I'm not preaching, I'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, I think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Take us to your leader
Think about it
A billion dollars on the arms race
Billions floating 'round in space
OPEC's counting out it's money
Hunger stares us in the face
The battlefield is little children
Caught in a cross, fire of hate
How can we call ourselves Christians?
How can we turn the other way?
I'm not preaching, I'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, I think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Listen to what they're sayin'
Take us to your leader
Think about it
Nostradamus gave us warning
You will never walk away
One neutron bomb in the morning
May just ruin your whole day
I'm not preaching, I'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, I think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Listen to what they're sayin'
Take us to your leader
Yeah
Take us to your leader
[Incomprehensible]
Take us to your leader

I think I'm goin' mad and it's makin' me sad,
it's a yearnin' for my old back door.
I realize maybe I was born to lead,
better swallow all my silly country pride.
Goin' home, runnin' home,
down the gasoline Alley where I started from.
Goin' home, and I'm runnin' home,
down the Gasoline Alley where I was born.
When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze,
and the wind won't whistle `round my knees,
I'll put on my weather suit and catch you in the train.
I'll be home before the milk's upon the door.
Goin' home, runnin' home,
down the gasoline Alley where I started from.
Goin' home, and I'm runnin' home,
down the Gasoline Alley where I was born.
(instrumental)
But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong
should I stray to the house on the hill,
let it be known that my intentions were good,
I'd be singing in my alley if I could.
And if I'm goin' away and it's my turn to go,
should the blood run cold in my veins,
just one favor I'd be askin' of you,
don't bury me here, it's too cold.
Take me back, carry me back,
down to Gasoline Alley where I started from.
Take me back, won't cha carry me home,

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road that you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true
And do unto others as you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to Heaven
With a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young, yeah
And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
For, forever young, forever young

I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone
But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Free, on my own that's the way I used to be
Ah, but since I met you baby
Love's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me now
I can't let go of you baby
I can't stop lovin' you now
'Cause I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
Fooled around, fooled around, yes I did
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around

It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

Fare thee well, my brother, please don't stand in my way
I'm goin' down to that dirty town no matter what you say
You fooled me and you ruled me and you played in every part
I gotta go it's no use me stayin' home
Goodbye, my sister, please don't let me see you cry
Gonna be a star some day no matter what they say
And when you hear the crowd's all callin' and shoutin' out my name
'Til then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied
So long sweet Melinda, don't forget that you're, my girl
Gonna dress you fine and if you give me time
Make you proud like I said, I would
If the Champs Elysees is no fallacy
If I find the world looks like it should
Candy cars, movie stars, street bars then I could stay a while
Well, I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
And I'll miss you all
Even though you're tryin' to hold me back
Farewell, all my family, don't you know I mean you so well
Please appreciate I must make a break just to see what I can do
The stage is set so understand I can't hide in the wings no more
I've got to go now it's no use me stayin' home
All I can say is I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
And I think I'm always gonna miss you
And I love you always I think I'm always gonna miss you
Even though you're tryin' to hold me back
And I love you and I miss you
You don't get no mail you know I'm in jail
You don't get no mail you know I'm in jail

Sitting on my back door wondering which way to go
The sun?s shining on my back and it hurts, child
The FM station plays another bad 45
And it?s been so long since I had a good time
It?s been so long since I had a good time
Never wrecked my head on a bandstand in the trombone or clarinet line
When I come in heat on Bourbon Street for Mardi Gras
When those for a crying just stay behind in the bar
It?s been so long since I had a good time
Yeah, it?s been so long since I had a good time
I?m gonna lose control of my powers, I might even lose my trousers
Smash some glass, act like trash if I want, wear a skirt, be a flirt if I want
?Cause it?s been so long since I had a good time
This prodigal man from Dixieland needs a good time right now
Show me a good time right now
You better take it while you can
You gotta get it while you can
And when the man upstairs he calls me
He?ll say, "It?s your turn son to come"
Don?t play the blues down in old Toulouse for me
Let sleigh bells ring and children sing in the street
And tell all of my friends that I had a good time
Open up the sky, won?t you ride me high? Let?s have a good time
And if I?m late at heaven?s gate blame a good time
When the angels sing I will join in let?s have a good time really
I took my luck, I didn?t give a fuck, I had a good time

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna hold me down
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe, I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star, I've got faith
I've got faith, faith of the heart
It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna change my mind
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe, I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star, I've got faith
Faith of the heart
I've known a wind so cold and seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain but I'll be fine
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe, I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star, I've got faith
Faith of the
Faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
That no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
'Cause I've got faith
'Cause I've got faith
Faith of the heart
It's been a long road

Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
lonely road to Babylon.
Where's my family and my country?
Heaven knows where I belong.
Pack my bags tonight
here's one Jacobite who must leave or surely die.
Put me on a train in the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say good-bye.
Seagull
carry me over land and sea
To my own folk
that's where I wanna be.
Ev'ry beat of my heart tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm qoing home !
One more glass of wine just for auld lang syne:
And the girl I left behind.
How I miss her now in my darkest hour
and the way our arms entwine.
Seagull
carry Ine over land and sea . . .
And we'll drink a toast to the blood of the red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle.
And to the northern lights and the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry.
Seagull
carry me over land and sea . . .
Ev'ry beat of my heart tears me further apart
I'm lost and I'm alone in the dark

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do

Ohh, look out babe
I got stupid little job
It's drivin' me insane
With those keyhole people
All they do is complain
'Bout the tattoo on my arm
The ring in my ear
But I don't even care, no no
I just live through the week
And when I see them boys
You know their two tone suits
They're all unimports
If you need a set of hub caps
Or a car painted
Girl, why don't you follow me?, Ha
It's dynamites, on Friday nights
Under the big city lights
It's all right, all right
Ha ha
Yeah dynamites, on Friday nights
Under the big city lights
It's all right, all right
Play some sweet guitar, yeah
Well we meet on the corner
And we talk all night
About our wealth situation
At Rock 'n' Roll dive
We don't reach no conclusion
So the conversation turns to wise girls
More girls
I got a beat up old Mustang
And I painted it black
There's five in the front seat
And the rest in the back
Cruise up and down sunset
And watch all the jailbait roll by
Yeah, yeah it's dynamites, on Friday nights
Under the big city lights
It's all right, all right
Yeah yeah, it's dynamites, on Friday nights
Under the big city lights
It's all right, it's all right
All right, all right, all right
All right
Are you ready?
Bring it on down now
Watch it
Well, well, well
Ahh, all right
Listen, one of these days
And it won't be long
Gonna hear that radio
Playing my song
I'll be the darling of masses
No great pretender, not me, yeah yeah
'Cause I can play this guitar
Hangin' round my neck
I'm in love with it's power
I believe in it's strength
I got head full of ideas
It's drivin' me insane
But until then
It's dynamites, on Friday nights
Under the big city lights
It's all right, it's all right
Yeah dynamites, on Friday nights
Under the big city lights
All right, all right, one time, hurray!
It's dynamites, oh yes it's dynamites
It's just dynamites, on Friday night
It's dynamite, it's on Friday night
Oh Friday night
It's all right, all right, wired
It's dynamites, on Friday nights
Under the big city lights
It's all right, all right
All together

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up old memories
Been invited on dates
I might have gone but what for
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
My darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up old memories
Been invited on dates
I might have gone but what for
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Awfully different without you

I took a long, long trip to the city
I was determined to get somewhere
Spent all my hard earned money
I had saved to put me there
Big bayou where did you go
To the river that's running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou carry me home
I took a cotton picking job in Memphis
And the people there treated me good
But my luck run bad in Nashville
I had to walked the streets of Hollywood
Big bayou where did you go
To the river that's running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou carry me home
Gotta get away
Gotta find a way
Gotta get away home
Oh Lord, I'm going home
Where the fish jump in the air
You know I don't need a lot of money
'Cause I ain't going nowhere
Big bayou where did you go
To the river that's running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou carry me home
Big bayou where did you go
To the river that's running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou carry me home
Big bayou carry me home
To the river that's running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou where did you go
And I'm gonna catch a Southbound

You book the hotel, I'll pack the bags honey
You phone the airlines, I'll call a cab
When will you return? Well that all depends
Just tell your mother that you're staying with friends
Of course, I know that you're my best friends girl
But it's the weekend I don't give a hell
I'll bring the red wine, you bring the ludes
Your mother's doctor must be quite a dude
Well hang a 'Don't disturb' outside our door
I'm gonna rock you till your pussy's sore
Oh my sweet Diana I can't wait for the Mayana
There's a hotel down in Mexico just made for two
But I don't think you trust me and I can't say I blame you
My reputation precedes me you ain't never gonna leave me
Soon as we get there, I'll go check in
Mr. and Mrs. Smith of Abilene
You get naked honey, I'll get down
I'm gonna chase you around
And 'round, and 'round, and 'round
You say you can't stand monotony
I say what happened to fidelity
Dirty weekend made for two
Just me and you honey
I wanna love that can last for ages
Not the trash you've been giving to strangers
Don't want to make your two big brothers annoyed

On a boulevard in Paris
I met a good old friend of mine
Come on over to my place
Bring yourself and a bottle of wine
So I put on my leathers
And I tried to look my best
But I was apprehensive
I noticed I was the only guest
It was then I witnessed, something I'd never seen
Some satisfaction, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Listen
There's a white house in Georgia
Down the Mason-Dixon line
They got Kentucky Derby winners there
They got a Lear jet parked outside
Yeah, But every Friday weekend
When the big Tom cat's away
You'll find the plantation shakin'
By the butler and the upstairs maid
Don't need no money, diamonds or Cadillacs
To get all the satisfaction, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Don't you worry
'Bout the problems of the human race
Get some satisfaction, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Listen to this
At a hot spot in Texas
On an endless Friday night
I was listenin' to Waylon and Willie
When a cowgirl passed my sights
And I took a look in the mirror
To make sure that my head was screwed on
I was feeling rejected
But I wasn't going home
In a moment of a rash decision
I threw myself right on the floor
I did a back flip and somersault
Yeah, the crowd called for more
So if you're tired of watching
Being left on the shelf
Get your satisfaction, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone

Now a country boy named Shorty
And a city boy named Dan
Had to prove who could run the fastest
To wed Miss Lucy's hand
Now Dan had all the money
And he also had the looks
But Shorty must've had that something, boys
That can't be found in books
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
That's what Miss Lucy said
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
You know it's you that I wanna wed"
Wait a minute, now Dan had been in training
About a week before the race
He made up his mind, old Shorty
Would end in second place
You know Dan with his long legs flying
He left Shorty far behind
Shorty heard him holler out
Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
That's what Miss Lucy said
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
You know it's you that I wanna wed"
[Incomprehensible]
Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
About the turtle and the hare
You know that thing
When Danny crossed over the finish line
He found Shorty waiting there
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
That's what Miss Lucy said
"Won't you cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
You know it's you that I wanna wed"
It's you that I wanna wed, no no

I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If she wants them out of the way
Crazy she calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, I say
I say I'll go through fire
And I'll go through fire
As she wants it, so it will be
Crazy she calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
She moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy she calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love am I
Like the wind that shakes the bough
She moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy she calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love am I

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole

Is it a matter of opinion
Or just a contradiction
But from where I come from
All the blondes have more fun
Well, just awatch them sisters on a Saturday night
Peroxide causin' all the fights
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I took a rose in Texas
She gimme plenty of practice
But I couldn't touch the surface
'Cause of recent facelift
She had no idea what love's about
'Cept the one o'clock call on the casting couch
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Sissy from New York
Was on the cover of New Vogue
I ain't supposed to be available
So completely untouchable
I got a Limousine and bodyguard and chaperone
But God knows Rodder just needs to ball
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
You can keep your black and your red heads
You can keep your brunettes too
I wanna girl that's semi intelligent
Gimme a blonde that's six feet two
Boy and that ain't all
I had a crush on Bardot
Fell in love with Monroe
Read about 'em in the nationals
All the juicy little scandals
But I never saw 'em dancin' at the County Hall
With the short fat guy's prematurely bald
No no, no, no no no, dig this
You can keep your black and your red heads
You can keep your brunettes too
Don't wanna subservient woman
Gimme a blonde that's six feet two
Boy and that ain't all, oh yeah

I walk the street at night
until the morning light comes shining through.
Can't get a good night's sleep,
ain't been to work in weeks.
What am I gonna do?
Help me.
Can't get her off my mind.
I'm drinking too much wine.
I'm burning up inside.
If I could touch her face
or take her out some place I'd be satisfied.
Hey, I'm a loaded gun.
I'm crazy about her, crazy about her.
Hey, I'm a lovesick son.
I'm crazy about her.
I see her jogging in Central Park
with one of them Walkman's on her head.
She was hot, young, beautiful
and I said to myself
she's destined to be mine.
I see her ev'ry day
in rush hour or subway, in a grocery store.
She don't notice me,
I might as well just be a crockroach on the flour.
If she belonged to me I'd give her ev'rything.
I'd never cheat or lie.
I treat her with respect, not just a sex object,
I ain't that kind of guy.
Hey, I'm a loaded gun.
I'm crazy about her, crazy about her.
Hey, I'm a lovesick son.
I'm crazy about her.
I was standing outside the Met one day
when she drove by in a black Corvette.
I said " Hey baby.
I could've died, she looked straight through me.
But I know she's destined to be mine.
Spoken:
Every night I stand around her door and wait for her to come by.
She lives in one of those brown-stones they guard outside
and the limousines and the Rolls Royces comin' and goin'.
My friends all say she's way outta my class
but I know if she'd just get know me
I could give her something all those rich guy ain't got.
Ain't gonna bide my time ain't gonna stand in line.
Somebody gonna get burned.
But, oh the problem is I think my loves at risk.
She's the boss's girl.
Oh no.
Hey, I'm a loaded gun.
I'm crazy about her, crazy about her.
Hey, I'm a lovesick son.

Soon the pines will be fallin' everywhere
Village children always fightin' for fair share
And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek
As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week
I saw Grandma yesterday down at the store
Well, she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn
Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm
And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feelin' in my bone
Country comforts and the road that's goin' home
Down at the mill, they've got a new machine
Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
"And oh, but that ain't natural", old man Grayson says
'Cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dyin' days
And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feelin' in my bone
Country comforts and the road that's goin' home
And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feelin' in my bone
Country comforts and the road that's goin' home
And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feelin' in my bone
Country comforts and the road that's goin' home
Country comforts and the road that's goin' home
Country comforts and the road that's goin' home

She came to the party
In a leather number wrapped in chains
Investigation found
She was very fond of dropping names
So I signed her book
And drove her to her home
And she looked so hot
Started to come on strong
Then she said so candidly
As I was gettin' down on my knees
"I don't really mean to tease
But I'm shy, shy, shy, shy, shy"
Camouflage, that's nothin' but camouflage
He was totally handsome
With a winning personality
Natural born leader
With connections in society
But late at night
Alone with just his wealth
He would stare in the mirror
And never see himself
He had a Cadillac thirty foot long
He had a hit with every song
Sounded like some thing's wrong
Why, why, why, why, why
Camouflage
It ain't nothin' but camouflage
Camouflage
Ain't nothing but, nothin' but
Nothin' but camouflage
They were so well suited
With an ambiance you can't ignore
But nobody realized
What went on behind closed doors
He had many affairs
But never felt fulfilled
She would hide her sadness
In alcohol and pills
She bottled everything up inside
He was too busy with his best friend's wife
They couldn't look each other in the eyes
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
Camouflage
Just camouflage
Everywhere you go it's called camouflage
Some people hide behind camouflage
C A M O U F L A G E
I signed her book, drove her to her home
But I didn't know what was goin' on
He had a Cadillac thirty foot long
Had hits with every song
He had many affairs but never felt fulfilled
She was hidin' herself in some little purple pills
Why, why, why, why
Shy, shy, shy, shy
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Camouflage, camouflage
Talkin' 'bout camouflage
Camouflage, bring it down
Sometimes I worry about you darlin'
You wear too much mascara
Too much eyeliner
Too much rouge and it worries me
Camouflage, camouflage
Camouflage, talkin' 'bout camouflage
Sometimes I worry about you darlin'
You wear too much mascara
Too much eyeliner
Too much rouge and it worries me
Camouflage, camouflage

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
Do you feel what I feel
Can we make it so that's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line this time
I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign this time
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around, around
Do you feel what I feel, do you feel what I feel
Can you see what I see, can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind
I want to come when you call
I'll get to you if I have to crawl
They can't hold me with these iron walls
We got mountains to climb, to climb
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
Turning my whole world around
Turning my whole world around
Turning my whole world around

Oowe, baby don't you count on me
To be here when the sun goes down
'Cause all those mean old friends of mine are calling
Calling way down the line
Somebody send me a one way ticket
Got to get away from here
Put me on a jet back to London city
Gotta get a belly full of beer, oh yeah
Smile for the camera, please mind your manner
You've got to keep your image clean
Clench your fist and don't you take the piss
Makes you wanna slash your wrist
Stand up, shut up, sit down, throw up
All I wanna do is sing
Responsibility and fidelity
Never meant a thing to me
I was born loose
Running wild
Keep your hands off child
Can't change me now
I was born loose
Running wild
Keep your hands off me baby
'Cause you're too late, too late
Big bombs are crashin'
Never stop clashin'
Wanting every woman in town
Some tried to train me
One tried to maim me
But you can't keep a good man down
Church bells ringin', all the kids singin'
When we played the last date on the tour
Janis and Jimi, can't you hear me
Knockin' on heaven's door
Born loose
Was born loose, baby
Slow me down
You can't slow me down
I was born loose
Born loose, born loose
Wrong side of my mama
Wrong side of my daddy
Wrong side of the tracks
I was born loose, baby
Born loose
Can't change me now
Can't change me now
'Cause you're too late now
Too late now
Too late now, baby
Too late now
C'mon to change me now
Never change me now

Call the girls and dress up fine
Tonight I felt like suicide
Roll them dice and pour the wine
Shuffle them cards and deal them fine
Got nobody to kiss tonight
Nothing to lose but my appetite
Wanna be silly and sing and shout
Gotta get legless and fall about
Turn the music up nice and loud
Cheer me up don't bring me down
Gonna lose my job next week
Getting replaced by a silicone chip
I might have been a hero
But I chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey, I'm better off dead
I might have been a hero
But I chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
but right now honey, I'm better off dead
Don't like the scenery, don't like the set
Tear it all down and start again
Man keeps talking on the radio
Telling me what I don't wanna know
Radiation wars and Laetrile
If tax don't get ya then cancer will
I might have been a hero
But I chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey, I'm better off dead
Better off dead, better off dead
Better off dead, better off dead

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Brr its cold...
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well... I really shouldn't... alright
Make it worth your while baby

Baby Jane don't leave me hanging on the line
I knew you when you had no one to talk to
Now you're moving in high society
Don't forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
But now I'm no longer sure
I wish I knew what I know now before
When I give my heart again I know
It's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when I know
It's gonna last forever
Baby Jane, don't it make you feel sad
Just when I thought that we were winning
You and I were so close in every way
Don't time fly when you're loving and laughing
I've said good-by so many times
The situation ain't all that new
Optimism's my best defense
I'll get through without you
When I give my heart again I know
It's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when I know
It's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again I know
It's gonna last forever
When I fall in love again I know
It's gonna last forever
Baby Jane I've said all I want to say
Go your own way
Don't think twice about me
'Cause I've got ideas and plans of my own
So long darlin' I'll miss you believe me
The lesson learned was so hard to swallow
But I know that I'll survive
I'm gonna take a good look at myself and try, yeah
When I give my heart again I know
It's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when I know
It's gonna last forever
When I fall in love next time I know
It's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again I know

I'm tired of buying Penthouse and Oui and Hustler
It's Friday night, I'm all alone, still a bachelor
She said she'd call me when she'd finished work
Haven't heard a word all day
I may not be Warren Beatty or Mohammed Ali
(Attractive female wanted)
I ain't asking a great deal, just a female to move in with me
(Attractive female wanted)
I'll share all my records, toothbrush and car
And color TV, honestly
A single girl for my single bed is my remedy
(Attractive female wanted)
She doesn't have to be a movie star
Cover of a magazine
She can work in a garage all day
In the evening some canteen
I'm tired of blind dates making silly mistakes, it's embarrassing
(Attractive female wanted)
I've had no complaints
But obviously you've guessed, no compliments
(Attractive female wanted)
Won't someone please answer my prayers
Before I'm old and gray?
(Attractive female wanted)
I've been lonely too long, all of my family think I'm gay
She doesn't have to be a movie star
Cover of magazine
She can work in a garage all day
In the evening some canteen
Attractive female wanted
Active female wanted
I may get drunk, stink like a skunk but she'll look after me
(Attractive female wanted)
Put me to bed, ease my aching head and made fuss of me
You know what I gonna do
Think I'll write a letter to Mr. Hugh Hefner confidentially

I told you once I'm a jealous man
But you never want to listen to who I am.
We're divided completely out of touch
I guess that's why we seem to fight so much.
Believe me darling
this ain't no game
If yov think I'll be your fool
You better think again.
I know you love me
it just ain't right
I'm sick and tired of fighting
With you every night.
You say you don't wanna hurt me
But you're doing things I can't explain
Oh baby
why don't you leave me
'Cause I know you'll never change.
It's only another heartache
ain't nothing to worry about
Something I'm getting used to
dragging my heart around.
But one day soon and it won't be long
Conna find me an angel to carry me home.
It's only another heartache
ain't nothing to worry about.
I'll find a honey to take a chance
and roll that dice into my past.
She'll cover me for a little while
and show me love ain't out of style.
I don't care how long it takes
my heart s in the hands of fates
Oh God
I ain't asking much
just a woman that I can trust.
It's only another heartache
ain't nothing to worry about
I wanna love that's strong and real
I gotta know just how it feels
Somebody to share my lite
to hold onto through the night.
It's only another heartache
ain't nothing to worry about
Something I'm getting used to
dragging my heart around.
It's only another heartache
ain't nothing to worry about
It's only another heartache

Yeah, I said yeah
I remember the first time
That I ever seen her face
I was standing by the drug store
Tryin' to save the human race
Took a raincheck on a blind date
To get her prescription filled
We had a short talk and a long walk
Through the lazy cottonfield
It was hot
She was cool and sultry
We made love
I was broke and lonely
She's wonderful, so beautiful
So delectable, she's mine
She's desirable, so lovable
And it's criminal, almost illegal
Well we woke up in a barnyard
When I heard a farmer shout
"Get away, boy, from my daughter!
When a shotgun rang out
We took off
She was right behind me
Ran like the wind
What a crazy lady
She's fabulous, so sensuous
She's marvelous, she's mine
I'm delirious, it's serious
Kinda dangerous, almost illegal
Bring it down, now.
We had a one child by the springtime
And another on the way
I got a new life and a good wife
Ain't that amazing grace
It was hot
She was cool and sultry
We made love
I was broke and lonely
She's wonderful, she's beautiful
She's desirable, she's mine
I'm delirious, she's serious
It's kinda dangerous, almost illegal
Wonderful, so beautiful
She's not a radical, but she's mine
She's fabulous, so sensuous
And it's marvelous, almost illegal
Beautiful and she's wonderful

When two lovers meet in Mayfair, so the legends tell,
Songbirds sing; winter turns to spring.
Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell.
I know such enchantment can be, 'cos it happened one evening to me:
That certain night, the night we met,
There was magic abroad in the air,
There were angels dining at the Ritz,
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
The moon that lingered over London town,
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know we two were so in love?
The whole darn world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars;
It was such a romantic affair.
And, as we kissed and said 'goodnight',
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendezvous,
I still remember how you smiled and said,
"Was that a dream or was it true?"
Our homeward step was just as light
As the tap-dancing feet of Astaire
And, like an echo far away,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I know 'cos I was there,

Sixteen years old, looking for a hideaway
I'm a set designer, my Mum and Dad thinking I'm gay
I'm a lazy bugger, but I like my spart
Like girls and music, I'm happy, happy sort (of a guy)
But there's one thing I'm lacking, it's sexual experience
So I ask you, my sweetheart, save me from this wilderness
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
Where I come from, love is just a hole in the wall
And the steel mills ring out and generations heed the call
And the rain never stops and the skies are grey
And the chance of romance, slim as a bright sunny day
This is partly the reason, I'm so overwhelmed and shy
Because your beauty, by contrast, is gonna make a young man cry
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
I've schemed, honey, of a night like this
You don't know what it means to a boy from a suburban home
To be left with a woman like you, completely alone
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
Nice place you've got here, babe, never seen a house like this
Pool like an ocean, bed like a football pitch
ll the guys at the boozer, won't believe my luck
But it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke (than me)
So here we are, the record's gotten stuck in the groove
My knees are trembling, c'mon baby, make your move
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
I've schemed, honey, of a night like this
I've dreamed, I've schemed, honey, of a night like this

Gimme a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true
Oh, gimme your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
Gimme a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true
Oh, gimme your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
