Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
She lived across the street on the fifteenth floor of the Gilmore building
I saw her in the shower reaching for some soap
I knew she had to be the girl for me
And to think I probably never would have found her
If I hadn't bought that telescope
Oh, Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
I just can't understand it
Why won't you return my phone calls
Are you still mad I gave a Mohawk to your cat
If you'd just say the word
I'm certain that our love would last forever and ever
Or are you too dumb to realize that
Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
How can you ignore me when you know that I can't live without you
I have to go through your garbage just to learn more about you
Melanie, ooh
Oh sweet Me-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
You weren't impressed when I tattooed your name across my forehead
You wouldn't listen when I promised to be true
I couldn't stand it so I jumped out from the sixteenth story window
Right above you
Now I may be dead but I still love you
Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
I'm singin' Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet, sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
I'm singin' Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
I'm singin' Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie

Melanie is sweet
A vision on her feet, so young so fair
A bridge of iron standing tall
Between two parted spheres
She's a novelty of reality
Though she tried so hard, my sweet, darling Melanie
She's glad for what she's had
Her mom and several dads so she complained
This modern love affair
With life can really get you down
She's a novelty of reality
But she tried so hard, my sweet, darling Melanie
Ooh, but life goes on
Ooh, the same old song
Ooh, but love's seems such a mystery
So you worked so hard and my sweet, darling Melanie
Over the horizon
Birds of paradise sit in her eyes
You can feel forever
On her sweet and silken sighs
She's novelty of reality
So she tried so hard and my sweet, darling Melanie
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
She's novelty of reality
So she tried so hard and my sweet, darling Melanie
So she tried so hard and my sweet, darling Melanie
(So she tried so hard, my sweet, darling Melanie)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
So she tried so hard and my sweet, darling Melanie

Watching
Driving through the night
I'm all alone
Empty
Endless road
A thousand miles to go
Midnight
Five million thoughts
Passing in a row
Will you
Still be waiting there?
God only knows
I can still see your face in my mind
With every turn I take
And the wind through my heart feels so cold
As it calls out your name
Melanie
Nothing but the touch of your hand can rescue me
Melanie
Reach inside this emptiness and you will set me free
Morning
Sun's in my eyes
I'm tied to your soul
One chance
One solitary life
How could I let you go?
Got a phonecall or was it a dream
A voice spoke to me
I could swear it was you that I heard
Crying desperately
I can still see your face in my mind
With every turn I take
And the wind through my heart feels so cold

Melanie is smilin' at the sky
If it were up to me
I'd give everythin' for that, oh
So many claims to know divine
Is it stupid to think
Am I jealous missin' that?
Would you be, would you define?
Bein' a crutch like this
Or grief like mine, ohh, ahh
Does it feel like
There's no bright side?
Do you want to
Place your fist in the wall?
I feel that warmth within me
Can't help but think it's all lies
So sadly strip down and thrust to the cold outside
Nothing can left to protect me
I wish I could believe this

Peace Will Come (According To Plan)
Melanie
There's a chance peace will come in your life please buy one
There's a chance peace will come in your life please buy one
For sometimes when I am feeling as big as the land
With the velvet hill in the small of my back
And my hands are playing the sand
And my feet are swimming in all of the waters
All of the rivers are givers to the ocean
According to plan, according to man
Well sometimes when I am feeling so grand
And I become the world
And the world becomes a man
And my song becomes a part of the river
I cry out to keep me just the way I am
According to plan
According to man, according to plan
According to man, according to plan
Oh there's a chance peace will come
In your life, please buy one
Oh there's a chance peace will come
In your life, please buy one
For sometimes when we have reached the end
With the velvet hill in the small of my backs
And our hands are clutching the sand
Will our blood become a part of the river
All of the rivers are givers to the ocean
According to plan, according to man
There's a chance peace will come in your life please buy one.
There's a chance peace will come in your life please buy one
For sometime when we have reached the end
With the velvet hill in the small of my backs
And our hands are clutching the sand.
There's a chance peace will come in your life please buy one
There's a chance peace will come in your life please buy one...

chorus*
lay down lay down, let it all down
let your white birds smile up at the
ones who stand and frown
lay down lay down, let it all down
let your white birds smile up at the
ones who stand and frown*
we were so close, there was no room
we bled inside each others wounds
we all had caught the same disease
and we all sang the songs of peace
chorus
so raise the candles high cause if you
don't we could stay black against the night
oh raise them higher again and if you
do we could stay dry against the rain
chrous
we were so close there was no room
we bled inside each others wounds
we all had caught the same disease
and we all sang the songs of peace
some came to sing, some came to pray
some came to keep the dark away
so raise the candles high
cause if you don't we could stay
black against the sky
oh oh raise them higher again
and if you do we could stay dry against the rain
chorus

We'll grow old, we'll take care of each other
I'll be your sister, your mother, your lover
We'll be friends during changes of weather
Let's be together on our own
Let's be together alone
We're believers, we've been hurt by believing
Needing people, we know looking's not seeing
I see needs that might be answered by forever
Together on our own
Let's be together alone
We'll learn living, like the words of a good song
We'll learn timing, balance and rhythm
We'll make it music
I don't want to sing it on my own
Let's be together
Let's be together alone
Let's be together alone
Let's be together alone
We'll grow old, we'll take care of each other
I'll be sister, mother and lover
We'll be friends
I'm tired of singing it alone

Some say I got devil, some say I got angel
But I'm just a girl in trouble
I don't think I'm in danger, don't think I'm in danger
No, I know I'm not in danger
But some have tried to sell me
All kinds of things to save me
From hurting like a woman and crying like a baby
Something like a woman, crying like a baby
And all the things that I have seen
Qualify me for a part in your dream
Qualify me for this dream
And though I'd like to tell it, exactly how I feel it
Well, somehow the music just hides it and conceals it
Hides it and conceals it, oh, it hides
And all the things that I have in
Can be hidden in a part of my dream
Gonna hide it in my dream
Some say I've got devil and some say I got angel
But I'm just this girl in trouble
I don't think I'm in danger, don't think I'm not in danger

look what they done to my song ma
look what they done to my song
well it's the only thing
that i could do half right

(Melanie Safka)
I'm tired of seeing the picture
You're painting of yourself
You with the borrowed colors
That you picked from someone else
Maybe you're a movie
Or some best selling book
I know your mirrored mornings
In rehearsal of your looks
Oh your cause is oh so beautiful
You're ready to begin
You're going to play the good guys
By singing the good guys hymn
Ah you're building the halls with the outer walls
But you haven't got a thing within
The innocence of children
Is the manner you suppose
And you can describe in full detail
What we already know
Ah your cause is all so pretty
And we're ready to begin
We're going to play the good guys
By singing the good guys hymn
Ah we're building the halls with the outer walls
But we haven't got a thing within
But if we keep on trying
Though our purpose isn't clear
We just may move the universe
We'll learn to really care
Eventually the whole facade
Becomes more than a whim
By starting to build on the outside
We're gonna fill up the walls within
By starting to build on the outside
We'll fill up the wallls within
Eventually the whole facade
Becomes more than a whim
And by starting to build on the outside
We're gonna fill up the walls

I've been celebrating
'way too long and I've been drinking
I'm shamed to tell
still feel thirsty
I want to drink the water from the well
still feel thirsty
I want to drink and ring the living bell
ring the bell
ring the living bell.
still feel thirsty
I want to give and ring the living bell.
I'm not a magic lady
I wanna sing to help the light
descend on the earth today
beacuse it's gonna get warm tonight
sing for light
sing for living light.
Still feel weak but
I want to give and shine the living light.
Still feel weak but
I want to give and shine the living light.
Been walking down the street all night
and I been feeling kind of cold.
Still feel naked
I want to be warm before I get old
and I'm cold
and I'm feeling cold.
Still feel hungry
I want to give and ring the living bell.
Been celebrating 'way too long
and I have eaten much too well.
Still feel hungry
I want to give and ring the living bell
ring the bell

Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong,
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
'cause I pick up my head, can't tell where I belong.
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad,
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad,
I have a yearning for something that I never had.
Oh, sometimes I feel my life has come and then it's gone,
Sometimes I feel my life has come and gone.
I live in this world but I'm only looking on.
I can't understand, it's too far over my head,
I can't understand, it's too far over my head.
I'm living the life but I'm really dying instead, yeah.
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong,
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong,
'cause I lift up my head and I can't tell where I belong.

Well you know that I'm not a gambler
But I'm being gambled on
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
Da-da-da-da
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
Well, I don't mind that they're lucky
But it seems that they always win
And gamblin' is illegal in the state of mind I'm in
And if I had a nickel for each time that
I've been put on
I would be their nickel man
And I'd sing a little song
They're only putting in a nickel and
They want a dollar song
They're only putting in a little to
Get rid of a lot that's
Wrong.
Well I don't know so many things
But I know what's been goin' on
We're only putting in a little
To get rid of a lot that's wrong
And if we had a nickel for each time that
We've been put on
We'd all be their nickel man
And we'd sing a nickel song
You know they're only putting in a nickel
And they win a dollar song
Oh, yeah, they're only putting in a little
To get rid of a lot that's wrong
Oh, they're only putting in a nickel

(Melanie Safka)
I was a lovin baby girl
Mommy, daddy had I none
Be my mommy, daddy
I will be your lovin one
Before the time I knew your face dear
I was doing very well
If I never knew your kisses
I'd never known that I'd been in hell
If I had some pennies
I could have a world of fun
Give me all your pennies
And I will be your lovin one
Once upon a christmas time
I lost christmas in my mind
I looked through all the windows 'round
To find a star I hadn't found
Then all at once
Before I knew
Christmas froze my soul into
A cryful night I had a dream
And saw a place I'd never seen
If I had some pennies
I could have a world of fun
Give me all your pennies
And I will be your lovin one
I was a lovin baby girl
Mommy, daddy had I none
Be my mommy, daddy

(Melanie Safka)
What do you do when the people go home
And what do you do when the show is all done
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time
But what will I do with the leftover wine
A line from a poem of my childhood has said
That visions of sugarplums were gonna dance in my head
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme
But I'll still have a bowl of leftover wine
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme
And then I'll sing them a song of mine
You know I'm gonna do anything
Just to take up time
Cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine
(and) what do you do when the people go home
And what do you do when the show is all done
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time
But what will I do with the leftover wine
I'm gonna spend my whole life making the time rhyme
And then I'm gonna run to the people
And I'll sing them a song of mine
You know I'm gonna do anything
Just to take up time
Cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine
I'll drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine
Because I can't stand the taste of that leftover wine
And I'm gonna drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine
Because I can't stand the taste of leftover wine
And I'll drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine

we all had caught the same disease
and we all sang the songs of peace

In the hour when the sun shines shines bright
On my head in the city where I am alone,
I never think of that once told story
When two flowers almost were one.
But what to do?
I still think in the morning of you.
When darkness hovers and city lights take over
I am blinded to the words "I am alone".
It's useless to cry for a star in the sky,
For the city lights tell me there's none.
But what to do?
I still cry in the morning for you.
When my head touches my pillow I am too weary
To dare dream that I am alone.
Now I lay myself down to sleep,
I pray the Lord his soul to keep is my song.
But what to do?
I still dream in the morning for you.
What to do?

I'm back in town.
You don't look so happy 'cause I'm back in town
You don't look like smiling, don't jump up and down on my toes.
I guess I better go, oh.
I'm very sure.
I should have knocked when I opened the door.
Pardon me, miss, but he's just a friend from before
Who never locked his door.
I opened without knocking like before.
You wrote me that all was the same
So I came,
But I can't find the love in your eyes.
I guess that you're surprised just like me.
I never thought you'd find another she
You liked as well as me,
But I guess I was wrong
So I'll be going home, oh.
I'm back in town.
Didn't they tell you that I'm back in town?
You don't look so happy, don't jump up and down on my toes.
You loved me once, you know.
I guess that you don't love me anymore, hm.
I'm back in town.
Didn't they tell you that I'm back in town?
You don't look so happy, don't jump up and down on my toes.

They told me when I was little
I'd go to heaven, if I was good.
Now I'm a long way from little
'Cause I tried to find heaven, 'cause I thought that I could
I thought that I could.
And I thought I loved Harold and I really loved John,
I really loved Alphy and I almost loved Tom.
I loved them so easy and I loved them so free,
So I don't think that heaven will wanna love me.
Hallo, song of the willow,
The dreams under my pillow turned to tears that I cried.
Beauty and love are our riddle,
Never to answer but always to try,
And boy, did I try?
I tried with Harold and I tried with John,
I tried with Alphy and almost with Tom.
I left myself open for the whole world to see,
Now the world is the heaven that won't accept me.
I said goodbye to Harold and goodbye to John,
Goodbye to Alphy and goodbye to Tom
'Cause I loved them so easy and I loved them so free,
So I don't think that heaven will wanna love me.
Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light

Are you foolin'
foolin' yourself? - Are you foolin'
foolin' yourself?
Are you foolin'
foolin' yourself! - Are you foolin'
foolin' yourself?
To think I was a fool and I've been beaten -
A thought like that just kind of cramps my style.
But I'll get you some day for all your cheating
And from my face you're gonna see a smile.
You should have never told me
that you love me
You knew I'd start believing it some day.
And now you say
you're leaving me for lonely -
Someone else is gonna come my way.
you better take some time and think of what you're doing
Before you through away this harmony.
I don't think you know just who's been loosin'
'cause you've been foolin' yourself when you think you're foolin' me.
Now I'm the kind of girl who don't mind cryin'
But I ain't gonna shed a tear for you.
Unless you change your ways and stop your lying
I'm gonna change my mind about lovin' you.
You should have never told me
that you love me
. . .
You better take some time and think of what you're doin'
Before you through away this harmony.
'cause you don't realize just who's been loosing
Are you think you're foolin' me ?
Foolin'
foolin' yourself -
Are you foolin'
foolin' yourself ?
Are you foolin'
foolin' yourself ?

While walking through life I would never fall
If I could be close to it all and all,
If I could be close to it all.
If I had my dream it would not fall down
If I could live high on the ground,
The sound of high is a good one to many around
When they wanna be close to it all,
And I wanna be close to it all and all,
I wanna be close to it all.
The village sugar takers,
Madison Avenue pink dream makers,
They try to escape from it all,
But instead they build walls, that's all
But they wanna be close to it all.
If I had my dream I would fill a hall
And tell all the people tear down the wall
That keeps them from being a part of it all
'Cause they gotta get close to it all.
The village sugar takers,
Madison Avenue pink dream makers,
They try to escape from it all,
But instead they build walls, that's all
But they wanna be close to it all.
There's just one more thing that I wanna say:
Everyone has got their own special way
That keeps them from getting too close to the day,
Accept and be part of it all and all;
Everyone tear down your own little wall
That keeps you from being a part of it all
'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all,
And everyone tear down your own little wall
That keeps you from being a part of it all
'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all,

by James Taylor
In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
Karen she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind
There ain't no doubt it no ones mind
That loves the finest thing around
Whisper something warm and kind
And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm Dyin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
Dark and silent last last night
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Signs that might be omens say I going, going
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
With a holy host of others standing 'round me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace.
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep, the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the sky, oh
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown, you gotta
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown, you gotta
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Oh Lay down, lay down, lay it all down,
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller-skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need
Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out you see
I been looking around awhile
You got something for me
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I ride my bike, I roller skate don't drive no care
Don't go too fast but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
I been all around the world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl
Oh, yea, yea, oh, yea, yea, yea
Oh, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes but you weren't alone
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need
Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out to see
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates

Oh, eat your animal crackers
'Cause my mother told me so long ago,
"If you eat your animal crackers,
The children in Europe won't starve anymore".
Ha ha hahaha hahaha.
Oh, once I went on a diet,
A carbohydrate diet ain't nice
'Cause you can't eat animal crackers.
So, I'm gonna stay a fatty for all of my life,
Ha ha hahaha hahahaha.
But some people think that fatties are nice, yeah.
I love eating icecream,
Chocolate, vanilla and butter pecan,
But I best love animal crackers
'Cause I love helping my fellow man.
Yeah, I really do.
Did you ever hear of Alice's restaurant?
I eat at Alice's restaurant year after year.
She makes an animal cracker pizza, ha
And she gives animal crackers out free with the beer.
Oh, let's give Alice a great big cheer.
She knows the age of the animal cracker is here.
Ah, animal crackers are in this year!
Ha ha hahaha.

I had a little beetle
So that beetle was his name
And I called him Alexander
And he answered just the same
And I put him in a matchbox
And I kept him all the day
But nanny let my beetle out
Yes nanny let my beetle out
She went and let my beetle out
And beetle ran away
She said she didn't mean it
And I never said she did
She said she wanted matches
And she just took off the lid
She said I mustn't worry
And I really mustn't mind
That there's lots and lots of beetles
The she's certain we could find
She said I mustn't worry
But it's difficult to catch
An excited sort of beetle
You've mistaken for a match
If we looked in all the places
That a beetle might be near
And we made the kind of noises
That a beetle likes to hear
And I heard a kind of something
And I gave a sort of shout
It was a beetle house
And Alexander beetle coming out
It was Alexander beetle
I'm as certain as can be
And he had that kind of look as though
He thought it might be me
And he had that kind of look as though
He thought he ought to say
"I'm really very sorry that I tried to run away"
And nanny's very sorry too
Cause you know what she did
And she's writing Alexander
Very blackly on the lid
So nan and me are friends because
It's difficult to catch
An excited Alexander

I wish you a merry Christmas, I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New-Year.
I want some figgy pudding, I want some figgy pudding
I want some figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer.
I won't go until I get some, I won't go until I get some,
I won't go until I get some, so bring it right here.
Once in a year it's not thought amiss
To visit our neighbours and sing out like this:
Our friendship and love, good neighbours, abound
And peace and good will the whole year around.
Pace, salude, friedmere, shalome,
The words mean the same whatever your home.
Why can't we have Christmas the whole year around?

Little boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on his little hands, little gold head.
Sssttt, whisper. Who dares?
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers:
"God bless Mommy, I know that's right,
And wasn't it fun in the bath tonight,
The cold's so cold and the hot's so hot.
God bless Daddy, I quite forgot.
If I open my eyes just a little bit more
I can see Nanny's dressing-gown on the door;
It's a beautiful blue but it hasn't got a hood,
God bless Nanny and make her good.
Mine has a hood and I lie in bed
And I pull the hood right over my head,
And I shut my eyes and I curl up small
And nobody knows that I'm there at all.
Thank you God, for a lovely day,
And what was the other I wanted to say?
I said, `Bless Daddy', so what could it be?
Now I remember: God bless me".

Once I bought a curious bottle,
Once I bought a bottle for fun.
Tell me what you gonna do with the bottle
When the curiousity's done.
Well I brought it out to the Bo Bo's party
Then I got it in to the company,
Then I brought it up to the boys in the backroom,
They got the knack to tune in on me,
Then I brought it up to the boys in the backyard.
I find it hard to hold on me,
I find it hard to hold, I find it hard to hold,
I find it hard to hold on me, I find it hard to hold on me,
I find it hard to hold, hard to hold, hard to hold.
You know, I've been bad, but
I would be good instead.
Ah, if my man did half of the things that he said,
I wouldn't have to go to the Bo Bo's party
I wouldn't have to go to the company,
I wouldn't have to go to the boys in the backroom,
With their knack to tune in on me,
I wouldn't have to go to the boys in the backyard.
I find it hard to hold on me,
I find it hard to hold, I find it hard to hold,
I find it hard to hold on me, I find it hard to hold on me,
I find it hard to hold, hard to hold, hard to hold.
You know, I've been bad, but
I would be good instead.

I wouldn't have to go to the boys in the backyard.
I find it hard to hold on me,
I find it hard to hold on me,
I find it hard to hold.

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter cause it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and then she goes
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you
And when you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't ask her why she leaves to be so free
She's gonna 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
But such a cost
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you
And when you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Oh there's no time to lose I heard her say
You gotta catch your dreams before they run away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind
Is life unkind
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you
And when you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you
And when you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday

Sie war wie alle andren war'n
Voll Lebensdurst, doch unerfahr'n.
In ihren Augen brannte heiss die Glut, die Glut, die Glut.
Wo was los war, war auch sie.
Man nannte sie nur Melanie.
Sie ging die Wege zwischen schlecht
Und gut und gut und gut und gut und gut.
Zu Hause war sie fortgerannt,
Weil man nicht gleiche Worte fand.
Und Liebe spuerte sie nie - Melanie ! Melanie !
Ihr Vater hatte niemals Zeit und
Wenn er da war, gab es Streit.
So ein Leben wollte sie nie mehr,
nie mehr, nie mehr, nie mehr.
Zu Hause war sie fortgerannt,
Weil man nicht gleiche Worte fand.
Und Liebe spuerte sie nie - Melanie ! Melanie !
Mal blieb sie von der Arbeit weg und
Suchte Halt in manchem Bett.
Doch was sie fand erlosch bei Tageslicht.
Ein Kind - sie wusste nicht von wem.
Sie wollte es trotz alledem.
Die Traenen, die sie weinte, sah man nicht.
Traenen sah man bei ihr nie.
Man misst das Leben nicht nach Jahren.
Doch sie, als ich sie wiedersah.
Das Kind an ihrer Seite lachte und

Can't you win
when I think
about know has won
into spin around to disappear
I'll be here
just for one
I'll get it across to you
and you, you wrote the book
and have to look
down people like they were fuss
now you, end up the hook
for what you do
it's for what should I be?
To talk in twice
pay you price
sacrifice just to what you suposse to do
take my advice,
play it right
best two dice,
just to sold like a nice cold view
and you, you're in the clouds,
well send it right
do you know where you going to?
but you, you still insist,
but you're miss,
never wanted to wait for you
More that a million times,
you're saying million lies
I can not memories,
Melanie
Why don't you take a slice
of someone elses life
and try an effort size,
Melanie
Nothing more to see
there's no other way
that I see as my love for you
what would never be true
but no give away
what you're feeling
down deep inside...
Melanie!
More that a million times,
you're saying million lies
I can not memories,
Melanie
Why don't you take a slice
of someone elses life
and try an effort size,
