I got Aretha in the morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
'Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes
Momma, she'd notice, but she's always crying
I got no one to confide in
Aretha, nobody but you
And Momma, she'd notice, but she's always fighting
Something in her mind and it sounds like breaking glass
I tell Aretha in the morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
'Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes
You got the words
Baby, you got the words
You got the words
Baby, you got the words
Aretha
Aretha, I don't wanna go to school
'Cause they just don't understand me
And I think the place is cruel
Child
Singer, raise your voice
Stand up on your own
Go out there and strike out
I tell Aretha in the morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
'Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes
No catch, no strings
None of the usual things
I'm happy just to lay and look
Let's throw out the book
Now we're off the hook
And please
Be nice to me
Be nice to me
So tired, so sad
So sick of being had
By everyone who comes along
Would it be so wrong
If you played along
And please
Be nice to me
It's been a long, long time since I felt so fine
Be nice to me
And would it bring you down if I hang around
I know your love is fine
I know what's on your mind but
Don't laugh, don't cry
Don't make me wonder why
You're doing what you're doing now
Can't you see somehow
It's the wrong time now
So please
Be nice to me
(Nice to me...)
Be nice to me
It's been a long, long time since I felt so fine
Be nice to me
It's been a long, long time since I felt so fine
Be nice to me
Be nice to me
Be nice to me
Be nice to me
La la la la la, no catch
[Rumer - Verse 1]
All your life you've waited
For love to come and stay
And now that I have found you
You must not slip away
I know it's hard believing
The word's you've heard before
But darling you must trust them
Just once more
[Chorus]
'Cuz Baby, Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you
Goodbye doesn't mean
We'll never be together again
[Rumer - Verse 2]
If you wake up and I'm not there
I won't be long away
Cos the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back to you
I know you've been taken
Afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me
Instead of giving in
But I can't wait forever
Helping you to see
That I was meant for you
And you for me
[Chorus]
'Cuz baby, Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye
Doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart
You still will have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
Cos now you're home at last
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean forever
I was just thinking about you today
And the evening we slept in the mountains
But I cannot get through to you, find words
To say to you, darling, you're so far away
Oh, no, I'm not crying, these ain't tears in my eyes
I'm so happy I'm dying with laughter
If you'd only come over, I'm sure that you'd see
We're not lonesome, my cricket and me
Oh, your picture reminds me, I wanted to be free
I hurt you, I drove you away
If you'd just come back over I'm sure that you'd see
We're not lonesome, my cricket and me
It's the first breath of springtime
And a warm wind picks up the fallen blossom
And sails in circles around the street
A lady cycles past with her hair in braids
As they're pulling down the awning to the train station cafe
I'm alive and I'm thankful for this time
I'm alive and I'm thankful for this time
6 o' clock summer afternoon
Next door's kids are playing in the yard
I'm doing the dishes at the window and the radio's playing 'Superstars'
And the sun falls down on the garden next door
But two young boys are fighting till a woman appears at the door
And the fires and the fog and fallen leaves
all under October's skies
You walked me home in the cold after closing time
As the leaves rushed by
How I want to be loved
How I need to be loved
Now that I've found you
I'd do anything for you
In the Forest of Angels
That's where we laid you down
And I can hear whispers when the first frost falls on the ground
You're alive, just be thankful
For this time
You're alive, just be thankful
Is there a place where all that I've lost
Will be returned to me?
And is there a day the souls that I pray to
Are coming back for me?
Don't tell me it's all right
It'll never be all right
Why don't you come, why don't you come back?
I need a love that's unconditional
Why don't you try to understand?
Why don't you come, why don't you come back?
If this love is unconditional, why don't you take me as
I am?
Just take me as I am
The love that I seek, is it hidden beneath
A wound that won't bleed?
Look, is there something you want?
Is there something you need from me?
'Cause I tell you now, these hands are empty
And it aches in my bones to be here on my own without
Watching the love that I'm craving
Getting further away the more that I want it
So don't tell me it's all right
It'll never be all right
Why don't you come, why don't you come back?
I need a love that's unconditional
Why don't you try to understand?
Why don't you come, why don't you come back?
If this love is unconditional, why don't you take me as
I am?
Just take me as I am
If you look in my eyes, you'll see
Sorrow rising and falling
All 'cause the love that I'm craving's getting
In my dream, it's cloudy in the morning
And he helps me climb out of my sleep
We're wide awake and silent as the sky
And everything we touch is ours to keep
In my dream, it's cloudy Christmas morning
And the snow ???? ???? ????
The world awaits, ???? misty ????
And everything we touch is ???? in dream
And how did it happen that you're there
Lovers ???? dreamers
And how did it happen that somehow you care?
From the morning 'til the dark
Never lonely, come hold me in your arms
Hold me in your arms
Some lovers are dreamers
And maybe that's me
Can't look for some meaning
Just leave it, come hold me in your arms
Some lovers are dreamers
And maybe that's me
Can't look for some meaning
Just leave it, come hold me in your arms
You make me want to sing about love
Every time I raise my head
You make me want to tell the whole world
What I've found is good
Then they say
Slow
Slow this right down
Don't burn it out
Don't let it show
Slow
Oh, but my heart is racing
To hold your gaze and
Let it go
My love, my love, my love
Killin' time is easy when you're here
From dreams I've seen you before
You're so familiar
(You're so familiar)
And everywhere I go
Hear me calling for your love
'Cause if it's you
I will disarm you
And if it's you
Do you know how to calm me down?
Oh, let me sleep
In your arms, then I won't hear them singing
Slow
Slow this right down
Don't burn it out
Don't let it show
Slow
Oh, but my heart is racing
To hold your gaze then
Let it go
You make me want to sing about love
Even though you don't wanna know
You make me want to tell the whole world
But I know
You don't like it
You don't like it
You don't like it
Slow
Slow this right down
(You're so familiar)
Slow
Slow this right down
(You're so familiar)
Slow
Slow this right down
Slow
I was running out of Cafe conversation
I was weary of fashion parade
and it seems like there's a whole lot of people
from out of town around here, these days
And in the streets the preachers say
If you wnat to go to Heaven why don't you walk this way
All day I prayed for 5 O'Clock
I'm thinking maybe I should quit this job
Then as the lights turn on the corner
I see your face
and I light up like a child
Cause you are the one who makes me see
You are my saving grace
You make me want to become
Become better
Cause when you walked in
You truly changed my world
You take my hand
You make me strong
And when I'm weary
I don't have to explain myself
When I crawl the stairs
You let me rest
I never thought I'd ever see the sun again
Bitterness was beating down my door
Now I'm picking up the telephone I read your name
and I light up like a child
Cause you are the one who makes me see
You are my saving grace
You make me want to become
Become better
Cause when you walked in
You truly changed my world
You take my hand
You make me strong
And when you want me
I'll be there you know I will
Just take my hand
Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold, you warm me
And when I feel I can't go on, you come and hold me
It's you... and me forever
Sara, smile
Won't you smile a while for me
Sara
If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free, you know, all you got to do
is say so
And when you feel cold, I'll warm you
And when you feel you can't go on, I'll come and hold you
It's you... and me forever
Sara, smile
Won't you smile a while for me
Sara, Sara
Sara, smile
Won't you smile a while for me
Sara, Sara
Won't you smile a while for me
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
No, don't sing this song
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
I have been seeking P.F. Sloan
But no one knows where he has gone
No one ever heard the song
That boy sent winging
Now you might sigh
And you might moan
And sweat about the skin and bone
And you just smiled
And read the Rolling Stone
While he continued singing
Now listen to him singing
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
No, don't sing this song
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
Oh, from now on
Nixon's come and bound to stay
He's taken all my sins away
I heard it on the news today
But it set my ears to ringing
Can't you hear the people singing
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
No, don't sing this song
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
Oh, from now on
Last time I saw P.F. Sloan
He was summer burned and winter blown
But he turned that corner all alone
And he was singing
Listen to him singing
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
No, don't sing this song
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
Oh, from now on
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
No, don't sing this song
No no no no no no no no
Don't sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart-breaker
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
It's been a long, long day
I got some run-down shoes
Ain't got no place to stay
But any old place will be okay
It's been a long, long day
I sure been on this road
Done nearly fourteen years
Can't say my name's well known
You don't see my face in Rolling Stone
But I sure been on this road
Slow motion
Half a dollar bill
Jukebox in the corner
Shooting to kill
And it's been a...
It's been a long, long day
I sure could use a friend
Don't know what else to say
I hate to abuse an old cliche
But it's been a long, long day
When you're sleeping, I watch you for hours
Feels like reading (????)
Or gazing at stars
Never touch you, no
Just waiting for one to fall to Earth
Brighten up my empty world
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
You make it better
You keep on coming through
So much, I don't believe it
But I believe in you
Heroes win
But sometimes they fail
Some people can't believe it
But I need you human anyway
Nothing less
I want my star to fall to Earth
It's where we love; it's where we hurt
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
You make it better
You keep on coming through
So much, I don't believe it
But I believe in you
(You make it better, baby)
You make it better, baby
I believe in you
(You make it better, baby)
You make it better
You keep on coming through
So much, I don't believe it
Sometimes I feel so temporary
Just like these stars
Did somebody say
They might not even be there anyway
I lie awake
And think of all the time it might take to reach them
Where did you go
It's always I don't know, I don't know
Carry me over
If you're a healer
Cause I don't know how long
I'm gonna be here
Tear me down
Could you save my soul?
Give me a reason to carry on
Sometimes I feel so temporary
Just like those summer days
If I close my eyes
I can hear you laughing
And time is a friend
When broken hearts are trying to mend like this one
If I close my eyes
I can feel you're with me
Carry me over
If you're a healer
Cause I don't know how long
I'm gonna be here
Tear me down
If you can spare my soul
Give me a reason to carry on
All your life, you've waited
For love to come and stay
And now that I have found you, you must not slip away
I know it's hard believing
The words you've heard
But, darling, you must trust them just once more
'Cause, baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you, goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't be long away
'Cause the things you do, my goodbye girl, will bring me back to you
I know you've been taken
Afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me instead of giving in
But I can't wait forever
Helping you to see
That I was meant for you and you for me
'Cause, baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you, goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart, you still have my heart
So forget your past, my goodbye girl, 'cause now you're home at last
Let me tell you, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Come to me high
Come to me restless
Come to me cold
Come to me helpless
Defenseless
When you're on your own
When you're alone in your room
Heaven is here at your call
But darling love is just one of those things
You have to ask for
Come to me high
Come to me restless
Come to me cold
Come to me helpless
Defenseless
When you're on your own
I see you there locked in a mood
Just like the sun can't touch the moon
Give me your heart give in to me
And forget the way down
Come Saturday morning
I'm going away with my friend
We'll (?) Saturday spend to the end of the day
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
And then we'll move on
But we'll remember long after Saturday's gone
Come Saturday morning
We'll head for the east or the west
In Saturday best, we will rest on the way
Just I and my friend
But everyone knows how well (?) Saturday goes
And so we move on
But we'll remember long after Saturday's gone
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
And then we'll move on
I lost my heart
I didn't know what to do
I was so caught in misunderstanding, I
Took it all out on you
'Cause I didn't like the words
(I didn't like the words)
I didn't like the words
I lost my heart
I sat on my window and looked out and
Watched the rain wash down the street
Oh, will the sun rise?
Like the birds that fly over
Rising up through the trees
Will you be there for me?
(Will you be there for me?)
Will you belong to me?
(Will you belong to me?)
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
'Cause I didn't like the words
(I didn't like the words)
I didn't like the words
If I should let you go
There would be nothin'
And silently
Love would be ????
And I could begin again
Can we begin again?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
('Cause I didn't like the words)
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
('Cause I didn't like the words)
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
Then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've
Missed you're nothing, Alfie.
My life is changing in so many ways
I don't know who to trust anymore
There's a shadow running through my days
Like a beggar going from door to door.
I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay.
Just someone to keep my house clean,
Fix my meals and go away.
A maid, a man needs a maid.
A maid, a man needs a maid.
It's hard to make that change
When life and love turns strange.
And old.
To give a love, you gotta live a love.
To live a love, you gotta be part of
When will I see you again?
A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watching a movie with a friend.
I fell in love with the actress.
She was playing a part that I could understand.
A maid, a man needs a maid.
A maid, a man needs a maid.
To give a love, you gotta live a love.
To live a love, you gotta be part of
It's over now you've had your fun
Get up them stairs go on quickly
Don't run, take off your shoes the both of you's
Leave them down, outside the door
Turn the landing light off
No wait, leave it on
It might make the night that much easier
To be gone and in the morning
Who'll be wide awake and eating snow flakes
As opposed to those flakes?
We will, we will
That afternoon we spent the day
With Uncle Frank and his wife Auntie Mae
Well, do you know since then
I've received up to four letters
All of which repeat the same they say?
Thrilled to bits, can't believe you came
We've relieved it both over, time and time again
And if there's even a chance
Or even half you might be our way
Would you promise to stay?
We will, we will
Oh, it's not easy pretending
That you cannot hear once you've suffered
The affliction within, it's no use
In an ending to proclaim from the start
That the moral of the stories to begin
On Sunday next, if the weather holds
We'll have that game but I bagsy-being-in-goal
Not because I'm good or because I think
I should it's just that, well, at my age
I think standing still would really suit me best
Do we all agree? Hands up those who do
Hands up those who don't, I see
Well, in that case, will we please be kind enough
If not on Sunday, to go to mass on Monday?
Wake up, my love, beneath the midday sun
Alone, once more alone
This travelin' boy was only passin' through
But he will always think of you
One night of love beside a strangers smile
As warm as I have known
A travelin' boy and only passin' through
But one who'll always think of you
Take my place out on the road again
I must do what I must do
Yes, I know we were lovers but a drifter discovers
That a perfect love won't always last forever
I won't say that I'll be back again
'Cause time alone will tell
So no goodbyes for one just passin' through
But he will always think of you
Yes, I know we were lovers but a drifter discovers
That a perfect love won't always last forever
I won't say that I'll be back again
'Cause time alone will tell
So no goodbyes for one just passin' through
But one who'll always think of you
I've been up drinking
Biding my time
I'm loaded and wasted, all my desires
I've been using myself
Like only I care
But I understand
That you understand
'Cause just for a moment
I found my peace
Just for a moment
I came across me
Everything is on
There's nothing I'm missing
Just for a moment
I found my way
I've been up drinking
Biding my time
I'm loaded and wasted, all my desires
I've been using myself
Like only I care
But I understand
That you understand
'Cause just for a moment
I found my peace
Just for a moment
I came across me
Everything is on
There's nothing I'm missing
Just for a moment
I was complete
Black man, born free,
At least that's the way it's supposed to be
Chains that bind him are hard to see,
Unless you take this walk with me
Place where he lives, it's got plenty of names
Slum, Ghetto and Black belt, and they're one and the same
And I call it Soulsville
Soulsville
Any kind of job is hard to find,
That means an increase in the welfare line
Crime rate is rising too
If you were hungry, what would you do?
Rent is two months past due,
On a building that's falling apart,
Little boy needs a pair of shoes,
And this is only a part of life in Soulsville
Soulsville
Some of the brothers got plenty of cash,
Tricks on the corner gonna see to that,
Some like to smoke and some like to blow,
Some are even strung out on a $50 Jones
Some are trying to ditch reality, by getting so high,
Only to find out, you can never reach the sky,
When your roots are in Soulsville
Soulsville
Every Sunday morning, you can hear the sisters sing
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, trust in the Lord to make a way, "
Oh I hope that He hears their prayers,
Because deep in their souls they believe,
That one day He'll put an end
To all the misery that we have in Soulsville
Soulsville
Soulsville
Soulsville
Soulsville
Soulsville
Days full of rain
Sky's comin' down again
I get so tired
Of these same old blues
Same old song
Baby, it won't be long
'Fore I be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes, flyin' shoes
Flyin shoes
Till I be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes
Spring only sighed
Summer had to be satisfied
Fall is a feelin'
That I just can't lose
I'd like to stay
And watch a winters day
Turn the green water
To white and blue
Flyin' shoes, flyin' shoes
Till I be tyin' on
My flyin' shoes
The mountain moon
Forever sets too soon
Being alone
Is all the hills can do
Alone and then
Her silver sails again
And I will follow
In their flyin' shoes
Flyin' shoes
I will follow in their
Flyin' shoes
Days full of rain
Sky's comin' down again
I get so tired
Of the same old blues
Same old song
Baby, it won't be long
Till I be tyin' on
Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out

It could be the first day,
When dreams are once again, the things that I would have to say,
And with my next haze
I'll learn the secrets of the games I've often had to play
And when I've finally settled down
To where my spirit can be found
I will call on all my friends
To say I've finally seen the end
It could be the last day
To give in all the places where I've often longed to stay
It could be the last way
To live among the things that I've often talked away
And when I've finally realised
Try my new day on for size
I will call on all my friends
To say I've finally seen my eyes
It could be the first day
Could could be the last day
It could be the first day
It's the same old tears on a new background,
Seeing you, a fading photograph
It hurts too much to laugh these days.
But I'm alright, yes, I'm alright, I'm alright.
It's the same old song with a new melody,
But this old candle's lingering flame is almost gone,
To see you again is all that keeps me hangin' on.
But I'm alright, yes, I'm alright, I'm alright.
Remembering, remembering that familiar heartache,
No one but you can make my dreams come true
It's the same old me crying the same old tears
And I walk away just like I always do
Still in love with you.
But I'm alright, yes, I'm alright, I'm alright.
I'm alright
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa untuk selamanya
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa sepanjang usia
Hingga tiba saatnya aku pun melihat
Cintaku yang khianat, cintaku berkhianat
Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa untuk selamanya
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa sepanjang usia
Hingga tiba saatnya aku pun melihat
Cintaku yang khianat, cintaku berkhianat ooh
Menepi menepilah menjauh
Semua yang terjadi di antara kita ooh
Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu
(Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan) dalam luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu, aku tanpamu butiran debu
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa untuk selamanya
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa sepanjang usia
Hingga tiba saatnya aku pun melihat
Cintaku yang khianat, cintaku berkhianat
Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa untuk selamanya
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa sepanjang usia
Hingga tiba saatnya aku pun melihat
Cintaku yang khianat, cintaku berkhianat ooh
Menepi menepilah menjauh
Semua yang terjadi di antara kita ooh
Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu
(Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan) dalam luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu, aku tanpamu butiran debu
O' My father had a rabbit and he thought it was a duck,
So he stuck it on the table with it's legs cocked up,
He mixed a bowl of stuffing and he left it on the shelf,
But when he came to stuff the duck, the duck had stuffed itself!
So he took it out the oven and he sprinkled it with salt,
And then he put it back again and said I've had a thought.
"If this ducks a rabbit and it's only got two legs,
When it wandered round the garden, how come it laid some eggs!"
I've never seen a duck Cluck nor yet a chicken quack.
I've never seen rabbit with the feathers on his back.
I've never heard a horse bark or seen a donkey grunt.
Never seen a heifer with it's udders at the front."
So he shouted to my mother to "Come and have a look",
"I've got it in the oven, this thing I'm trying to cook".
My mother started laughing, said "This a funny dish,
Nothing like a duck to me, it looks more like a fish."
So she picked it, and pricked it, and covering it with oil.
She plumped it, and thumped it, and wrapped it in tin foil.
Turned up the oven, to get a bit of heat.
But when she went to close the door it jumped out at her feet.
I've never, ever seen, my mother pass a motorbike,
She was running faster than a double decker bus,
Out on the main road and twice round the roundabout,
People standing looking wondered what had caused the fuss.
Well we had to go and catch her and bring her to the house,
Everyone was asking "Do you think she saw a mouse?"
I went into the kitchen, I thought I'd have a look
See if I could find the thing my mother tried to cook
And then I saw a tom cat a sitting on the shelf,
With an empty piece of tin foil, he'd ate the thing himself!
And the sad end to my story, I'll tell before I go,
