I'm uptight, gotta give a little
slow down, take my time
Ease up, learn to relax a little
So close, so close
I'm shakin', shakin' with expectation
Breathless, outta time
Lips dry, feels like my heart is burstin'
So close, so close
Smooth as silk but sharp as a knife
Hotter than hell but cooler than ice
Hard as steel but soft with your touch
Take luck to the limit but don't ask too much
You're all woman, you're all woman
You're all woman
So close, so close
To losing my mind
Panic, I'm on the verge of breakdown
Half crazed, lost control, need you to kill my affection
So close, so close
Helpless, holding out for rescue
Gunned down, one more time
Breakthrough, gotta try to reach you
So close, so close
chorus
Woman, woman
Hard as steel but soft with your touch
Take luck to the limit but don't ask too much
You're all woman, you're all woman
You're all woman
So close, so close
To losing my woman
Woman, you're all woman
So close, so close
To losing my woman
You're all woman, you're all woman
(Sylvester / Clarke)
You love 'cos you like it
You like it because you're loving me
You touch 'cos you like it
You like it because you're touching me
You kiss 'cos you like it
You like it because you're kissing me
You hold 'cos you like it
You like it because you're holding me
When we first met some time ago,
I didn't know what it'd be like
Just because I'd been hurt before,
I didn't know it could work out,
I didn't know it could work out
I got something to shout
You love 'cos you like it
You like it because you're loving me
You kiss 'cos you like it
You like it because you're kissing me
It came so easily
Now I don't want to be free
'cos something in my heart
tells me I wanna be a part of you
repeat
You love 'cos you like it
You like it because you're loving me
You kiss 'cos you like it
You like it because you're kissing me
repeat
Whatever happened to you last night
You should have been here holding me tight
Without you in my arms
I've tried to hold out to get you here
I've waited ages to hold you near
Without you in my arms
People say that I'm a lonely one
but I'm going to prove you're not the only one only one only one
(repeat)
It seems I tried just a little too hard
to make you stay with me all night
Without you in my arms
Without you in my arms
You gave me strength when I was weak
You gave me hope instead of thinking of defeat
You gave me joy when things were sad
Put in the good took out all the bad
I was a loser with you I won
Now I'm doing all the things I left undone
Brought back the feelings I thought were gone
And it's only the beginning and we've only just begun
Now my life has changed in oh so many ways
I have no doubt who I follow
I know you're with me in every step I take
Leavin' behind me all my sorrow
verse 1
You gave me joy when things were sad
And it's only the beginning cause we've only just begun
You gave me joy when I was weak
You gave me hope instead of thinkin' of defeat
You gave me joy when things were sad
And it's only the beginning cause we've only just begun
(Sylvester / Clarke)
Picked up the phone called there's no one at home
You said you'd be there for my call
Did I do right by staying home tonight
All I know is I'm so alone
You made a date said you wouldn't be late
That's when my hopes started to rise
I didn't really know ya You said "I wanna show ya"
And I believed that look in your eyes
Well you gotta give me life
You gave me life
You gotta give me life
with that look in your eyes
chorus
Went out on the street Just a chance we might meet
The chance well it came to order
I saw you standing there baby without a care
Giving the same line to a guy on the corner
Don't know your name
Don't know your game
It's such a shame Oh yeah
repeat
chorus
Standing in the shadow
Of a Spanish lady
Second hand bargain
With a song so sad
And a rose in her hand
Was crying
Lonely rooms in back of bars
Bright lights and sitting out in the stars
There was room to write a poem
But the words don't come easy
They're hung on frozen lips standing there
While the world's anticipating love
And the words don't come easy
Lady laughs a laughing tear and says
All we really need today
Is the sun in our life
The sun in our life
Money was only mean to buy time
No money left over
Made the street to show that the door was open
Out in the silence of the angry crowd
Only the beggars crying aloud
Not a precious thing was spoken
But the words don't come easy
They're hung on frozen lips standing there
While the world's anticipating love
And the words don't come easy
Lady laughs a laughing tear and says
All we really need today
Is the sun in our life
Wiggle
Wiggle that
Wiggle that wot
Wiggle that wotsit
Wiggle that wotsit
Shakin that shimmy
Bring it up to me
Ring a ding a ling me
Turn me on
Wiggle that wotsit
Shake it up shake it down
Serve me up another round
Rub a dub hug me
Turn me on
Lord you know how crazy it makes me
You turn my insides out
The pleasure in the pain is so excruciating
It makes me wanna shout
Give me a hard time
You gonna blow my dynamo
My wheel's ain't gonna touch the ground
Heaven knows how I'm gonna cope with the situation
It makes me wanna shout
(Sylvester / Clarke)
Why didn't you believe in Him
Why didn't you believe
Why didn't you believe in Him
Why didn't you believe
He asked for you to love one another
You turned your back and played on with your games
If you had listened, you would have discovered
the Bible would have told a different story
chorus
I'm sick and tired of this old world
There's so many religions to believe in
If I had been alive at the time,
I'd known where and what and why I am
chorus
You got to believe (Gotta believe)
You got to believe (Gotta believe)
You got to believe (Gotta believe)
You got to believe (Gotta believe)
You got to believe
(Gotta believe, gotta believe, gotta believe,
gotta believe, gotta believe, gotta believe, gotta believe)
You crucified the man who came to save us
Forgive them for they know not what they do
But I cannot forgive you what you did
I believed, why couldn't you
chorus
(Dylan)
Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be a breezin
Like the stillness in the wind
For the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in
Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the shoreline sands will be shaken
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the morning will be breakin
Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smilin
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words they use
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they are spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And be buried at the bottom of the ocean
verse 2
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour when the ship comes in
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a touchin
And the ships wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin
Turning me on and with your eyes
Playing along and with your eyes
Coming on strong and with your eyes
You burn me
Searching to please and with your smile
Cursing with ease and with your smile
Kindle the flame and with your smile
You burn me
I'd rather you told me that you couldn't care less
Than put me through numbers that feel like a test
I want you
But I gotta know that I'm wanted
That I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
Turning me on and with your eyes
Playing along and with your eyes
Coming on strong and with your eyes
You burn me
Searching to please and with your smile
Cursing with ease and with your smile
Kindle the flame and with your smile
You burn me
I'd rather you told me that you couldn't care less
Than put me through numbers that feel like a test
I want you
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
Break
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted

That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours

I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know

And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm yours
I'll be yours to command and obey
I won't demand, but I gotta know
That I'm wanted
And I don't get taken for granted
When I'm not there
When I'm not there
Do you ever think of me
Do you ever talk of me
Do you ever ask for me
When I'm not there
Have you ever thought of me
Have you ever talked of me
Have you ever longed for me
When I'm not there
Wonderin' if you're true to me
And if our love will always be
I tried to get you by my side
But you said 'No
No no no no no'
Don't you ever make me blue
Won't you let me call on you
And may all my dreams come true
When I'm not there
chorus
No no no no no
(Ransford)
I'm telling you girl
That I'm coming home to you
I hate to say this
But I know you've been untrue
Just stop your foolin'
Come on and hold me
When I come home to you
When I come home to you
It's plain to see love
Isn't something new to you
You couldn't be loved
Cause you've never known the truth
About the lies
You tell to me
When I come home to you
When I come home to you
Comin' home isn't good for me
I know
But the way that you look at me
I know
That I've got to come on home
And take you in my arms
Break
Comin' home isn't good for me
I know
But the way that you look at me
I know
That I've got to come on home
And take you in my arms
I'm telling you girl
That I'm coming home to you
I hate to say this
But I know you've been untrue
Just stop your foolin'
Come on and hold me
When I come home to you
When I come home to you
woa wo
When I come home to you
I should be better off without you
You take a pride in making me blue
I'm telling you my friend
It's got to be the end
We're through
I told you time and time again
You told me he was just a friend
But I found out some way
I've seen him every day
With you
'Cause you never treat me tenderly
You got no reason for leaving me
'Cause I can't leave you alone
'Cause I knew from the start
You'd be tearing me apart
Sooner or later
break
'Cause you never treat me tenderly
You got no reason for leaving me
'Cause I can't leave you alone
'Cause I knew from the start
You'd be tearing me apart
Sooner or later
And now my crying days are through
No longer shed a tear for you
I'm telling you my friend
It's got to be the end
We're through
We're through
We're through
Here I go again
Watch me now 'cause
Here I go again.
I've been hurt so much before
I told myself, yes I did
No more, no more won't get hurt any more
There I was all by myself
Doing all right
Until I saw you last night
And then I knew that
Here I go again
I can't help it
Here I go again
Makin' the same mistakes
Headin' for more heartaches
What can I do when there's nothing I can do
I looked in your eyes and I knew that I was through
What's the use
I'll just give in
Try as I may, and I do
I'll never win, never win, baby I'll never win.
Now, you're here, so close to me
I can't resist you
And I knew when I kissed you
I'm gonna say now
Here I go again
Watch me now 'cause
Here I go again
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love
I'm feeling free Across the ocean
we go sailing on an on into the sunshine
On our way life is so good to us now
Feeling good feeling free we're alive
Blue skies above Everything's right
As we're going on our way the future looks bright
You and me together at last
Feeling good feeling free we're alive
Lovely feeling the wind blows through your hair
As we're sailing through life without a care
Look around and feel the freedom
All around us It is ours just for the taking
Nearer now to the island we go
Feeling good feeling free we're alive
chorus
Faster now across the surface
Of the water Keep on head
All life will catch up
Everyone would like to feel like we do
Feeling good feeling free we're alive
Feeling good feeling free we're alive
Feeling good feeling free we're alive

I've just come in from out of the rain
It's wet outside the water runs down a drain
I go to bed 'cause my head's full of pain
And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Outside the window there's a pipe wearing thin
It lets the water do a dance on a tin
I try to sleep but it's making a din
And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Water on the brain water on the brain
Water on the brain water on the brain
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
I toss and turn and my patience is weak
Go to the bathroom door and I take a peak yeah
The bath tap has started a leak
And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day
Well you can sing about the great King David
And you can preach about the wisdom of Saul
But the Judgment falls on all mankind
When the trumpet sounds the call
All equal and the same
When the Lord, He calls your name
Get ready brothers for that day
Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day
Well one day soon all men will stand
His words will be heeded in all the land
Men shall know and men shall see
We all are brothers and we all are free
Mankind was made of clay
Each of us in the very same way
Get ready brothers for that day
Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day
Break
Well the law is given and the law is known
The tale is told and the seed is sown
From dust we came and dust we'll go
You know the Lord once told us so
Each brother take His hand
Heed the meaning of the Lord's command
Get ready brother for that day
Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day
Judgment Day

I thought I'd seen everythin' before
I've never seen the guy who could walk through walls
You say my eyes are playing tricks on me
What I'm seeing's not reality
If you're doing magic
Tell me how you do it
If you're doing magic
Show me how you're doing it
Hey babe if you've nothin to hide
How do you get two shadows on your blind
Hey babe if you've nothing to hide
How do you get him out on time
Hey babe if you've nothin to hide
How do you get two shadows on your blind
Real or illusion I can't tell them apart
Is it the conjuring of a jealous heart
I'm pretty sure that you're two-timing me
I'm seeing things losing my sanity

Quiet shadows plays in the evening
In the cold sea the sun went down
Bright stars on the blue water
In the hours of the night
All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law
The wind rests
The creek is like a mirror
And the sailor takes down the sails
Over the meadow
The mist is dancing
You can't believe it
But this is all yours
All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law
Break
Quiet shadows plays in the evening
In the cold sea the sun went down
Bright stars on the blue water
In the hours of the night
All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
She wakes up early every morning
She get up long before the sunshine
Greets the milkman who's still yawning
And reads the paper for a short time
Calls the kids 'Get out of bed'
They never hear a word she says
Husband stands to leave the table
She says 'I hope you have a good day'
He thinks 'One day soon as I'm able
I'll get a job where I get good pay.'
They find it hard to make ends meet
But they don't mention it because they have each other
An love is free while they're supposed to be ...
Too young to be married
Too young to be free
Too young to be married
But what could they do, they were going to have a baby
After the kids have had their breakfast
Now they're off to get some schooling
She cleans the house and makes the beds
She starts to dreams but knows she's fooling
She swears one day she'll stay in bed
but for now she knows she's got to keep on working
'Cos round and round inside her head
She hears the words her mother said ...
chorus
Too young to be married
Too young to be free
Too young to be married
But what could they do?
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me I was wrong
And I knew I was all along
Forgive me
I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne
I could never ever justify
All the tears I made you cry
But I do regret it my Suzanne
You gotta believe me
I was lookin' 'round for someone new
What a foolish thing to do
All the time I knew it
Heaven knows what made me do it girl
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me I was wrong
And I knew I was all along, all along
break
I'm truly sorry Suzanne
If you would only take me back again
Things would be so different then
What I wouldn't give for
One more chance to live for you Suzanne
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me I was wrong
And I knew I was all along
Forgive me
I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne
When tomorrow comes you'll be thinking of yesterday
All the things you're gonna do
Will be the things you've done
What difference does it make to you
What you were doing yesterday
Today will be yesterday tomorrow when it comes
In or out it's all the same
When you're in you're out again
Going in you must come out of place you've been in
If I'm saying 'yes' to you
It's 'no' if I don't follow through
Today will be yesterday tomorrow when it comes
See then use your mind
Everything is everything all of the time
See then use your mind
Everything is everything all of the time
verse 1
Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name
Or where she's been, or where she came from
The last time I found love it only brought me pain
The problems almost took me over
I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for papa
And fetching water
And that's got nothing at all, that's got nothing at all
To do with love
Next time I meet a girl
I won't tell her my name
Or where I've been
Or where I came from
I'll take a hold of her
And love her just the same
No need to mention past acquaintances
I just want someone to love me
And someone to like the presents
That I bought her
'Cause that's got something to do
Yes, that's got something to do
To do with love
Each girl I meet comes up wronger
And I can't take it all much longer
No, I can't no
Verse 3
Verse 4
I'll be true to you yes I will
I'll be true to you yes I will
I won't look twice when the other girls go by
I'll be true to you yes I will
Somehow this time it's all so clear to me
The way to go is easy to see
My heart is sure you're the girl I've waited for
I'll be true to you yes I will
Yes I will
I used to be the kind
Who said that every girl's the same
And love was just a game for havin' fun
But when I looked at you
I knew that I was wrong
And that I really could belong to only one
I'll be true to you yes I will
Every dream that you have I'll fulfil
I never promised this to any girl before
but I'll be true to you yes I will
break
I never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you yes I will
Yes I will
Yes I will
Yes I will
Oh, yes I will

You better look out
look out your window tonight

You gotta reach out

Snatch your hand full of stars

If your memory serves you well
We're gonna meet again and wait
So I'm gonna pack all my things
And sit there for it gets to late
No my ??? will come to you
With another tale to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
Wheel's on fire
rollin down the road
Let's notify my next of kin
this wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
I was gonna confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailors knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
If your memory serves you well

And there was nothin more to tell
You knew that we should meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
Well I've known this girl forever
From the playground to the dance hall
From the same old dirty housing
All her friends I will call my friends
All the time we call our own
Well we used to stand together
Now I stand alone
This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, it's touch and go
Well I should've seen it coming
Well I should've read the signs
She was gone in the morning
Left me with red eyes at night
Well she couldn't even tell me
Didn't tell me
Cause my courage must've failed her
Turning out the light
chorus
What if I should find you
Drag you to your room
That's the trouble you've been go too soon
Well I hope you make it big time
Well I hope you got it right
That you say you got no heart to put up a fight
Maybe I'm new to this small town
But I still got more than you
Why don't you just try and call me
When you're passing through
chorus
What if I should find you
Take you to a movie
That's the trouble you been go too soon

Think it over what you just said.
Think it over in your pretty little head.
Are you sure that I'm not the one?
Is your love real or only fun?
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.
Think it over and let me know.
Think it over and don't be slow.
Just remember all birds and bees
Go by two's through life's mysteries.
Think it over, yes just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.
All right, all right.
Think it over and think of me.
Think it over and you will see
The happy day when you and I
Think as one and kiss the bkues goodbye.
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.
Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So near yet so far
On a carousel, on a carousel
Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in the way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still we're going round
On a carousel, on a carousel
Round and round and round and round and round
And round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
As she leaves she drops the presents
That she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water
Got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it
A case of do-or-die
On a carousel, on a carousel
Round and round and round and round and round
And round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
On a carousel, on a carousel
Oh baby
I'm aware of where you go each time you leave my door.
Watching you walkin' down the street
Knowing there's another guy you meet.
This time before you run to him leaving me alone again
Think it over - haven't I been good to you
baby? Think it over.
Stop in the name of love before you break my heart.
Stop in the name of love before you tear it apart.
I'm trying hard
hard to the patient
wish you'd stop this infatuation.
But each time I think of you together I see myself losing you forevel
This time before you leave my heart and rush back into his arms -
Think it over - haven't I been good to you
baby?
Think it over - haven't I been sweet to you
baby?
Stop in the name of love before you break my heart. . . .
Stop in the name of love before you break my heart. . . .
In the name of love before you break my heart.
Stop in the name oflove. Stop in the name of love.
Stop in the name of love.

If I were the sun, way up there
I'd roll around almost anywhere
Oh, I'd be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know, I'm still around That's how strong my love is, oh
That's how strong my love is, baby, baby
That's how strong my love is, yeah
That's how strong my love is I'd be the weeping willow, drown in my tears
You could go swimming whenever you're near
Oh, I'd be the rainbow when tears are gone
Wrap you in my colors, keep you warm
chorus
I'd be the ocean so deep and so wide
I'd shed your tears whenever you'd cry
I'd be the breeze when the storms are gone
And dry your eyes and keep you warm
That's how strong love is, yeah
That's how strong my love is, baby, baby
That's how strong love is, listen to me know
That's how strong my love is
verse 3
chorus
(Holly / Alison)
Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin',
all your hugs and kisses and your money too.
Well, you know you love me baby, until you tell me, maybe,
that some day, well, I'll be through, well ...
That'll be the day, when you say good-bye,
yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry.
Oh you say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'cos
that'll be the day when I die.
When Cupid shot his dart he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me and you told me boldly
That someday well, I'll be through
chorus
(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Will you try to justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening
To my door, you're not deceiving me
I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
Sending round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much better now
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place
If at last I think I'm glad to rid myself of you I'm sad
To think about the time I'll have to go
Then I'll turn and walk away so please don't beg for me to stay
Cause I know just what I will say to you
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place
Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Though you try to justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening
To my door, you're not deceiving me
I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
Sending round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much better now
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place
(Holly / Petty)
Take your time, I can wait
All of our love I know will be mine
If you take your time
Take your time, though it's late
Heart strings will sing like a string of twine
If you take your time
Take your time and take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time, go with me through
Times 'til all times end
verse 1
verse 3
verse 1
For our love, the love I know will be mine
If you take your time
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
The Hollies
If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
can't think of anything i need....
no cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
nothing to eat, no books to read
making love with you
has left me peaceful, warm and tired
what more could I ask
there's nothing left, to be desired
peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
so sleep, silent angel
go to sleep........
Sometimes
all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
just to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe.......
Peace came upon me
and it leaves me weak
so sleep silent angel
go to sleep.......
Sometimes
all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
yes to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
just to love you...........
(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)
And the power you have over
won't ever let me be
It's always holding me to you
And the strange things you say to me
Why do you play with me
It's just too sad to see
Stop right there
Tell me what you're doing to my mind in there
Tell me what you're doing Am I blind
Long ago everything about you was for me to hold
Now my thoughts about you won't stay cold
And in time I might slip away
into the light of day
But with you I must stay it's true
Wishful thinking will just bring me down
It's plain to see you own
the ground I'm standing on
chorus
verse 2
She comes on like a rose
And everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch
Well you can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes a creepin' all around
She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
if you let her get under your skin
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleepin
Poison Ivy comes a creepin' all around
Measles make mumpy
Mumps'll make you lumpy
Chicken pox will make you jump and twitch
Common cold'll cool you
Whooping cough will fool you
But Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch
You're gonna need an ocean ah
Of Calamine lotion ah
You'll be scratching like a hound
The minute you start to mess around
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleepin'
Poison Ivy comes a creepin' all around
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Three o'clock in the morning
I got a pain in my heart
Lying awake I see you
just a shadow in the dark
Why do I fall in love with a girl like you
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and give me tenderness
Wanna hold ya wanna touch ya
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and let the good times roll
I will never let you go
Just stand by me
Looking out at the streetlights
Can they show me the way
To your heart they lead me
Won't you come on back and stay
Why do I fall in love with a girl like you
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and give me tenderness
Wanna hold ya wanna touch you
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and let the good times roll
I will never let you go
Stand by me
Stand by me
Come on and stand by me
Why do I fall in love with a girl like you
Why do I fall in love with a girl like you
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and give me tenderness
Wanna hold ya wanna touch ya
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and let the good times roll
I'm never gonna let you go
Stand by me

Head into the sun you ain't the only one
To miss the last train back to your life
Head into the sun all that the night has done
Will fade if you hang on really tight
There's always reasons for runnin' down the road
Everytime it snows
You know it's so easy to take the time to grow
You know this flight is
Heading into the sun riding a little bit higher
We are one we are one
Just begun song of the sun
Head into the sun you ain't the only one
To blow the first few bars of the tune
Head into the sun all that the night has done
Will fade if you move on really soon
There's always reasons for puttin on the wheels
Everytime it's real
You know it's easy to get into the feel
You know this flight is
Heading into the sun
Riding a little bit higher
We are one we are one
Just begun song of the sun
Break
There's always reasons for puttin on the wheels
Everytime it's real
You know it's so easy to get into the feel
You know this flight is
Heading into the sun
Riding a little bit higher
We are one we are one
Just begun song of the sun
Look through any window yeah, what do you see?
Smilin' faces all around rushin' through the busy town
(Where do they go) movin' on their way
Walkin' down the highways and the by-ways
(Where do they go) movin' on their way
people with their shy ways and their sly ways
Oh you can see the little children all around
Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you
Look through any window yeah, any time of day
See the drivers on the roads pullin' down their heavy loads
(Where do they go) movin' on their way
Drivin' down highways and the by-ways
(Where do they go) movin' on their way
Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways
Oh you can see the little children all around
Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you
Look through any window yeah, what do you see?
Smiling faces all around rushin' through the busy town
(Where do they go)
Movin' on their way
Movin' on their way
Movin' on their way
Just another room
Just another town
Same old crazy people hanging around
Still you shine silently
Staring into space
Comin' down alone
Feel like packin' all my bags
And running home
Shine silently
Shine shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines
Shines on me shines on me
People at the door
People on the phone
Same old story
No time on my own
Still shine silently
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to prove
When it's said and done
There's nothing left but you babe
Shine silently
chorus
Shine shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines
(repeat)
(Ransford)
Walking down the street
standing looking at me
If you don't wanna know me
how happy I will be
Don't cross over the street to me
If you don't want my love
set me free
I see you walking by
love light in your eye
I just remember all those lies
So don't cross over the street to me
If you don't want my love set me free
Baby can't you leave me alone
Baby why don't you go on home
Baby don't you know that we are through
I don't need your love so set me free
Why don't you realise
that you and I are through
Every day I see you make me blue
So don't cross over the street to me
If you don't want my love set me free
If you don't want my love set me free
If you don't want my love set me free
Sandy
the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights
our carnival life forever
love me tonight for I may never see you again
Sandy girl
my baby.
Sandy
the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stoney faces
Left stranded on this warm July
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open
Like Latin lovers on the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York virgins by the score.
Sandy
the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights
our carnival life forever
love me tonight and I promise I'll love your forever
I mean it Sandy girl
oh my baby
Hey Sandy girl
my my my my baby.
Sandy
the waitress I was seein' lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night
she said
She won't set herself on fire for me anymore
Did you hear
the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For tellin' fortunes better than they do
For me
this boardwalk life's through
You ought to quit this scene too.
Sandy
the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights
our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight for I may never see you again
Sandy girl
my my my baby
Hey Sandy girl
oh my baby
. . .
I walk the twilight zone beyond the city lights
In search of peace of mind I stole into the night
Tried to hide away from everything that threatened
My existence I showed resistance
Up there big brother's got his tabs on where I go
They tried to force me down a road where I can go
So you imagine, how I left when you said
"Baby, I can understand" touched my hand
You are my sanctuary when I'm in your arms, you take me away
You are my sanctuary when I'm in despair
I reach out and you're always there, you're always there
Beyond the skyways through the lookin' glass I roam
Into the never, never I found a star that glowed
And I descended on my last true wing and prayer
And you were standing there, the one that cared
You are my sanctary when I'm in your arms, you take me away
You are my sanctary when I'm in despair
I reach out and you're always there, you're always there
When there's no escaping and I panic in the night
I can run to you for cover 'cause you'll always make it right
You are my sanctuary when I'm in your arms, you take me away
You are my sanctuary when I'm in despair
I reach out and you're always there, you're always there
break
You are my sanctuary when I'm in your arms you take me away
You are my sanctuary
Lucy you're a floozy
You ain't choosy
You've been flashing those big blue eyes
At the other guys
Don't be surprised
If you don't end up with a
Baby cool it, don't over do it
Always have something left as your standby
Lucy baby keep me in mind
You're so reckless
A diamond necklace
Ain't no substitute for how you feel
Such a steal
Lucy baby let's make it real
Red light outa sight is what you're saying
You don't really think that's true
No help needed you're displaying
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind
As the queen bee I'll make your honey
I'll even populate your hive
I've got a sting that ain't so funny
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind
Can I try you
Let me buy you
Just a piece of my delight
For the night
You'll find it alright
Lucy baby keep me in mind
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind
Relax
Take your shoes off
Relax
What's your hurry?
As the days go hurryin', scurryin' by
You'll find yourself findin' a reason
To watch the world go by
Relax, ooh-ooh
Take your shoes off
Relax, umm-umm
Don't you worry
As the world goes helterin', skelterin' by
The sun will still wander across the sky
And if you stay with me
We'll grow wiser gracefully
Pah-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pah-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pah-pa-pa-pa-pa.....fade out
All around me the music was loud
Playin' sound for the noisiest crowd
Did I care?
I didn'n even know why I was there
Sick and tired of the same old scene
Had my share of that same old routine
Like before, I kept on hopin' there was somethin' more
There anyone could see
There was a change in me
When she looked my way
A simple glance and she had made my day
She looked my way
Was there a chance she wanted me to stay?
Why didn't I go to her?
Why didn't I speak to her?
Why did I let her go away?
Looked again but I found she had gone
So my heartache just kept goin' on
Through the night, my heart and I remember that first sight
I thought I found the love
That I'd been dreamin' of
When she looked my way
A simple glance and she had made my day
She looked my way
Was there a chance she wanted me to stay?
Why didn't I go to her?
Why didn't I speak to her?
Why did I let her go away?
When she looked my way
A simple glance and she had made my day
She looked my way
Was there a chance she wanted me to stay?
She looked my way
A simple glance and she had made my day
She looked my way
Never meant to cause you any sorrow
Never meant to cause you any pain
I just wanted to one time see you laughin'
Only wanted to see you laughin' in the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
I never meant to be your weekend lover
Only wanted to be some kind of friend
Darlin' I could never leave you for another
Such a shame our friendship had to end
chorus x 4
Purple Rain x 4
(Ransford)
Please don't feel too bad because I'm leaving
I'm coming home again to you
And when I go away I know you're grieving
Although you know that I'll be true
I'm wondering what to do to make you know you're mine
I'll take you in my arms and then all will be fine
And when I'm away from you you know I'll miss you
I want to feel your tender touch
And when I'm feeling blue I want to kiss you
I stay away from you too much
chorus
verse 2
Whoa whoa yeah too much
Yeah yeah yeah too much
Whoa whoa whoa too much
We take walks in storms on rainy nights
When it's cold I hold you close to me
When we dine you help me choose the wine
It's these things that mean so much to me
Ain't this a peculiar situation?
We're lovers but we don't make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, that's all right
I don't think your father is too rich
And I know your mother has good taste
And it's not because you're beautiful
When you're busy you find time for me
Ain't this a peculiar situation?
We're lovers but we don't make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, that's all right
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, that's all right
You do well at things that interest you
When asked out you never turn away
If you're wrong you don't mind saying so
Not too proud to phone me when you're down
Ain't this a peculiar situation?
We're lovers but we don't make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, that's all right, right
Ain't this a peculiar situation?
Ain't this a peculiar situation?
Stop! In The Name Of Love
The Supremes
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to you ?
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over baby...

On A Carousel (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So near yet so far
On a carousel, on a carousel
Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in the way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still we're going round
On a carousel, on a carousel
Round and round and round and round and round
And round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
As she leaves she drops the presents
That she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water
Got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it
A case of do-or-die
On a carousel, on a carousel
Round and round and round and round and round
And round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
On a carousel, on a carousel
On a carousel, on a carousel
Granny got up early one sunny day
Went to get the ferry down to Nashville
Went to find my sister who had run away
run off with a barker on a fair wheel
Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay
Granny brought us both up from the age of four
Gave us education and a home yeah
Made sure we were brung up in a proper way
Granny worked her fingers to the bone yeah
chorus
No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay
chorus
Just the other day my granny passed away
Doc says she was pining for a baby
Now I go to put some flowers on her grave
She really was a very special lady
Oh Granny I won't bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I wouldn't bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay
No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay
(repeat)
Look at me
I never thought that I would change
Is destiny the one to blame
for bringing me to you
I can't turn back
These feelings can't be sacrificed
when we're so close to paradise
It's made for me and you
Nothing else but love
could ever mean as much to me
And every time you're next to me
And how I realise
that nothing else but love
could touched my heart the way you do
I know that I would be a fool if I did not believe
in nothing else but love
I never knew I'd a prisoner to a stranger's kiss
but you got something that I can't resist
And I got to be with you
chorus
This moment will shine on forever
It will live beyond a shadow of a doubt
This love was blessed by a southern sky
Now it can never say die
chorus
When I was a kid I had a rocking horse
Rocking to and fro, high and low
Where we'd go no one'd know
Dozens of tin soldiers were at my command
Dressed in red dressed in blue
Each command always followed through
But now it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all
Now I've changed and I have aged
Left here with just memories
How I wish to be young again
But it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all

Now's the time to say that we're through
Now's the time because I'm through with you
You treated me so bad
What a time I had
With you whoah yeah times are bad, times are bad
I recall the times that used to be
We went out together happily
Then he came along
I knew that it was wrong
To treat me so whoah yeah times are bad, times are bad
I miss the times. I feel so blue
Without you my heart it's just runaway
Now's the time to say that we're through

I miss the times. I feel so blue
Without you my heart it's just runaway
Ooh-ooh, run away
Ooh-ooh, run away
Ooh-ooh, run away
Crimson flames tied through my ears rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flamin' roads usin' ideas my maps
"We'll meet on edges soo" said I proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older than, I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate" I screamed
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers foundationed deep somehow
Ah, but I was so much older than, I'm younger than that now
Girls' faces formed the forward path from phony jealousy
To memorizin' politics of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists unthought of, though, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older than, I'm younger than that now
break
Ah, but I was so much older than, I'm younger than that now
My guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinkin' I had somethin' to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older than, I'm younger than that now
I'm younger than that now
I'm younger than that now
I'm younger than that now
I'm younger than that now
Musical pictures colouring in the sound
Touching the feelings writing my thoughts down
Something that I can share with you
I can get carried away carried away carried away by the melody
'Cause I can't say what I really mean with words
I'm tryin so hard to reach you
I hope that I'm getting through
Musical pictures scenes from a song
You're instrumental
You're where it comes from
It's easy to play along
chorus
Silence is my canvas I can paint a sad song - blue
And make musical pictures any way I want to
I'm tryin' so hard to reach you
I hope that I'm getting through
chorus x2
One cold and sad affair
Take my heart and leave it there
I'm gonna feel this way forever
Never thought that I'd be free
Now you've made this change in me
Carrie, Carrie
Now only time will tell
It's a dream I know so well
You always try so hard to please me
Only thing I know for sure
I couldn't love ya anymore
Carrie, Carrie
Waited so long, no one to share
(Why did you keep me waitin'?)
Could you belong to someone?
Show you care and I'll be there
Ooh-ooh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time? (more than a dream)
Carrie, can I tell everyone you're mine? (tell 'em you're mine)
I will never be the same
And now you've made me live again
Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
Ooh-ooh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time?
My heart is open wide
You know how I feel inside
You see, my sad old days are over
Never need to hide away
Gettin' stronger everyday
Carrie, Carrie
Waited so long, no one to share
(Why did you keep me waitin'?)
Could you belong to someone?
Show you care and I'll be there
Ooh-ooh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time? (more than a dream)
Carrie, can I tell everyone you're mine? (tell 'em you're mine)
I will never be the same
And now you've made me live again
Carrie, is it more than a dream?
Ooh-ooh Carrie, is it more than a dream this time? (more than a dream)
Carrie, can I tell eveyone you're mine? (tell 'em you're mine?)
fade out
A taste of honey
Tastin' much sweeter than wine
Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
And lingers still, though we're far apart
A taste of honey (honey, honey)
Tastin' much sweeter
I dream of your first kiss, and then
I feel upon your lips and then
A taste of honey (honey, honey)
Tastin' much sweeter
I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back for the honey
break
Well I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back
For the honey
And you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you
Whoa, whao, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you
At first Mama, Papa called the little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks of the river-bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my Papa and my Mama and me
The clock strikes three, Papa jumps to his feet
Already Mama's cookin' Papa somethin' to eat
At half past, Papa, he's a-ready to go
He jumps in his bireau, headin' down the bayou
He's got a fishin' line strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He sets his traps catchin' anythin' he can
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana Man
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana Man
Muskrat hides, hangin' by the dozen
Even got a lady, makes a muscrat Cousin
Papa has 'em dryin' in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Papa's gonna turn 'em to mon
Call my Mama Riiita and my Daddy Jack
Little boy brother on the fioor is Matt
Green and Lynn are the family twins
Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'
On the river floats Papa's great big boat
That's how my papa goes into town
Takes every bit of the night and day
To even reachthe place where the people stay
I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes around
That's the day my Papa takes his furs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
He'd even let me see a cowboy show
I'd seen the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
Told my Papagotta go again
Papa said "Son, we got a life to run
We'd come back again 'cause there's work to be done"
He's got a fishin' line strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He sets his traps catchin' anythin' he can
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana Man
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana Man:

Johnny was a pusher on the east side
pushing anything to be pushed
Laid something on a guy who didn't get high
Didn't know the guy was a hood
Wheeling-dealing Johnny got frightened
thought the best place was out of town
Packed up his bags and threw them in the back
Packed up his bags and threw them in the back
of his Chevy put his foot flat down
Look out Johnny there's a monkey on your back
You better beware there Johnny
'cause the monkey's packin' a gat
Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway
Johnny Johnny get away
You better beware there Johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Johnny thought he'd do something clever
Turning south on the old Coast Road
Pushing 94 swerving leaning on the door
trying to shake off his heavy load
Crossed the state line feeling safer
Drinking in the corner of a bar
In walked a guy looked the barman in the eye
said "Hey is Johnny in here"
chorus
You better beware there Johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Be good
You better beware there Johnny
there's a monkey on your back
Look out Johnny 'cos the monkey's packin' a gat
Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway
Johnny Johnny get away
You better beware there Johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Look out Johnny there's a monkey on your back

Long Dark Road
The Hollies
(Tony Hicks - Kenny Lynch)
It's over, well over
In my mind and in my heart
It's over, well over
But then again, it didn't have a good start
You'd tell me, try to sell me
It could have been all I asked
It's over, well over
Yes, there it flows away a distant past
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
It's over, well over
And we can't revive what's passed
It's gone now, moved on now,
But then again, it didn't have a chance to last
(No, no, no, a chance to last)
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road

He came riding in on a sunrise
A hot west Texas day
A fancy man in a painted wagon
Some fancy things to say
Looks like you folks'll need some water
Well water is my game
For the small price of a hundred dollars
I bet you I can make it rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone start a fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain
They all just stood a staring trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzy Cooper said he was a lying cheat
She said you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed
For starting all these people dreaming thinking you can make it rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain
Oh Lizzy, a man's gotta have a dream
And if you can walk on the inside with me
I'll meet you in between
Come with me Lizzy
And the stars'll write your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you
Look yonder here comes the rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain
Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Have you ever wondered why
Whenever thing goes wrong
Nobody stops to lend a hand
Nobody seems to care
When she looks you in the eye
And suddenly you're strong
And very soon you realise
That you didn't care about love
Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten that you didn't care about love
Does it hurt to realise
You've been acting very strange
Refusing to take the love she gives
Pretending you don't care
Did it take you by surprise
To discover how you'd changed
How you forgot to remember
That you didn't care about love
Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten
That you didn't care about love
Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten
That you didn't care about love
You didn't care about love
You didn't care about
You didn't care about
You didn't care about love
(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
Always there when I want you
I know you'll answer my call
We've got our own situations
We don't get into small talk
Let it pour
Whoa oh, let it pour
Whoa oh
Fate brought us together
We knew we'd both fall
Shouldn't really have happened
It caught us on the rebound, baby
Let it pour
Whoa oh, let it pour
Whoa oh
It always rains when I see you
But we weather the storm
We get on with the action
So bring on the black clouds, baby
Let it pour
Whoa oh, let it pour
Whoa oh
You belong to somebody
You ain't mine I ain't yours
It doesn't really matter
So let's close the door
It's never easy to leave you
Don't like you lockin' the door
So raise your glass to the next time
though my cup's overflowing baby
Baby, let it pour
Whoa oh, let it pour
(Hicks)
Well there's them that do and them that don't
Them that will and them that won't
I've been trying to get you for a long time
For a long time
When our eyes meet at each different place
How I got to know your face
Think that I have loved you for a long time
For a long time
Lady please I'm not a man of many words you see
If you lie with me, you won't sleep
Lady please if in the future there's some other man
I will understand and I won't weep
As our bodies fill my lonely room
A room that once was filled with gloom
Know that I will love you for a long time
For a long time
For a long time
chorus
As the morning sun lights up our bed
You are there to stroke my head
Know I'm going to love you for a long time
For a long time
Lady please
Lady please
Lady please

Out last night in my Sunday stripes
(You didn't want to know me)
At the Tuesday hop if I wear drainpipes
(You say you're gonna throw me)
The way you treat me's frightening
Strike me down like lightning
You know it's a shame (You didn't want to know)
It's a game (You say you're gonna throw me)
Out of town there's a story round
(You're staying with another)
At the picture show so the rumour goes
(You've been playing with my brother)
I don't know where I'm standing
You give me such a bumpy landing
It's a shame (You're staying with another)
It's a game (You've been playing with my brother)
Getting a bad reaction
Chasin' my girls best friend
Wonder should I walk on home
Plan a break-up or shake hands and make up again
It's a shame, it's a game (It's a a shame it's a game)
Wah ooh
It's a shame, it's a game
Wah ooh
I was out tonight looking wild in white
(You didn't want to know me)
Tried to catch a hint on how to jive
(You didn't want to show me)
I haven't got a dogs chance
If I don't know how to hip-dance
It's a shame (You didn't want to know me)
It's a game (You didn't want to show me)
Wah ooh
I really felt hip wearing my stripes, baby It's a shame
(It's a shame, it's a game)
And I really thought my drainpipes were outta sight Yeah, it's a shame
(It's a shame, it's a game)
Well, you struck me down like lightning, baby, I didn't know what to do, ha
(It's a shame, it's a game)
There's so many rumors about me and about you I don't know what to do
It's a shame I don't know what to do, baby I need ya
(It's a shame, it's a game)
Oh, c'mon and teach me how to hip jive
(It's a shame, it's a game)
(Clarke / Sylvester)
Isn't it nice to be someone
Someone you've dreamed that you are
Isn't it such a nice feeling
The feeling you've wished upon a star
You have slipped down a rainbow
Discovered your own pot of gold
You are living your wildest dream
Use them you'll never grow old
Just like Cinderella
But your clock will never strike twelve
You have something to envy
That everyone wants for themselves
You have slipped down a rainbow
Discovered your own pot of gold
Chasing moonbeams and catching the wind
and living stories you've been told
verse 2
Isn't it nice to be somewhere
In places you've dreamed that you've seen
Isn't it such a nice feeling
being where you've never been
verse 1
Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're going
Wonder what you do
without me
A telephone call from a friend I know
left me feeling bitter
left me feeling so unhappy
'Cos if you couldn't wait for 24 hours
what good would telegrams and flowers do
If it wasn't for the reason
that I love you baby
I wouldn't have another thing
to say to you
Might as well stay
for a day or two
Find another friend
and have a drink or two
to pass the time
Talking over troubles
in a whiskey daze
a little drop of cognac
helps a man to face the lonely times
'Cause it's sad being home
and I've given up trying
I've got no lyin'
that I wanna do
chorus
Wish I could find a way
Make up the words to say
You cheated and you lied
You took away the little pride
I had inside
chorus
verse 1

verse 4
verse 5
If I needed someone to love
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone
If I had some more time to spend
Then I'd guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day then
It might not have been like this
Can't you see how I'm too much in love
Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
break
If I had some more time to spend
Then I'd guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day then
It might not have been like this
Can't you see how I'm too much in love
Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
If I needed someone
Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby that was me
I'm just a lonely lonely man with no heart
'Till you set me free
Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
Feel all the happiness I ever missed
I never felt like this
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Well I used to think that I was living
Baby I was wrong
No I never knew a thing about living
'Till you came along
Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your lips
Feel all the happiness I never missed
I never felt like you
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
Feel all the happiness I never missed
I never felt like this
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
(Dylan)
The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonely organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
Oh so bad
Baby, I want you
Once a politician leaves
Upon the street where mothers weep
The saviours who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin from my broken cup
And askin me to open up the gate for you
Woh baby I want you
I want you
I want you
Oh, so bad
Baby I want you
Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it
Baby I want you
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him now was I
I did it because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I want you, baby I want you
I understand
And darling you are not to blame
If when we kiss it's not the same
I understand
No it's not your fault
Because your heart has changed it's mind
You didn't mean to be unkind
I understand
Forgetting you
Maybe far from easy
I've grown so used to your charms
I'll miss that old thrill
And no one can fill your place
Here in my arms
What if you find
Our love was really meant to be
Then daddy hurry home to me
And I'll understand, yes, oh yes
I had a dream
You were so near to me
but when I woke you were gone
when I woke you were gone
Thinking of you
being so far away
I guess I got memories
guess I got memories
When I am alone I feel your golden hair
Skyline of silver-blue
Trying to find words to pacify
my feelings of loneliness for you
(repeat)
I had a dream
You are so near to me
but when I wake you are gone
when I wake you are gone
A winter's day in a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the street below
On a freshly fallen , silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
PART 3
Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
Don't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved, I never would have cried
Chorus
PART 2
I build walls
A fortress deep and might
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
Chorus
PART 4
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
Chorus
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
I can't get nowhere with
I can't get nowhere with
Talk to me
Say things to me
Make me understand you love me
I can't get nowhere with you
I'm saying
You're playing
With my feelings
I'm just praying
I can't get nowhere with you
I put my trust in you
But how you let me down
I tried to treat you right
But you made me look like a clown
I'm showing
That you're going
Tears me up
My tears are flowing
I can't get nowhere with you
verse 3
I'm showing
That you're going
Tears me up
My tears are flowing
I can't get nowhere with
I can't get nowhere with
How Do I Survive if you break my heart
I'm not strong enough
Just to smile and make things easy
I can't put on my brave face anymore
I always took it for granted
That I could take whatever you gave me
I guess you never really know for sure
'Cause there was never a doubt in mind
How it was meant to be
So who do I turn to darlin' if you should leave
How do I survive if you break my heart
How do I survive if you break my heart
I've got no excuses for bein' your fool
I never thought that it would be forever
But after so much time together
I've come to depend on you
What else am I supposed to do
'Cause there was never a doubt in mind
It wouldn't be easy
But I never realized how much you mean to me, ho
How do I survive if you break my heart
How do I survive if you break my heart
break
But there was never a doubt in mind
How it was meant to be
So who do I turn to darlin' if you should leave
How do I survive if you break my heart
How do I survive if you break my heart (How do I survive)
How do I survive if you break my heart (If you break my heart)
How do I survive if you break my heart (whooh, whooh)
How do I survive if you break my heart (How do I survive)
How do I survive if you break my heart (whooh,whooh)
How do I survive if you break my heart
My daddy used to tell me
when I was under his wing
if you want to live a good life
just remember one thing
Though the world that we live in
can be so unkind
if you love a good woman
it's all honey and wine
I thought my daddy was wrong
Girl I was so lonely
until you came along
You began with the holding
Yeah the kissing was fine
All that was ready for the tasting
was the honey and wine
It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
If you love a good woman
it's all honey and wine
chorus
It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
It's all honey and wine
It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
If you love a good woman it's all honey and wine
It all felt so right on the first time that I saw you
I opened my eyes and I knew I needed more of you
You walked out that room there was no way to deny you
I felt myself shake the last time that I saw you
Why must it take such hurt and pain
Who are the ones who guilt and shame
Will they stand tall and take the blame
Why must it take such hurt and pain
We share the guilt we're all the same
Who really cares who takes the blame
Go on your way little angel
They'll be friends who greet you down the line
Go on your way little angels
You'll be fine you'll be fine

Here I go again.
Watch it now 'cos
here I go again.
I've been hurt so much before.
I told myself,
yes I did,
no more, no more won't get hurt any more.
There I was by myself
doin' all right
until I saw you last night.
And then I knew that
here I go again.
I cannot help it.
Here I go again.
Making the same mistakes,
heading for more heartaches.
What can I do when there's nothing I can do?
I looked in your eyes and I knew that I was blue.
What 's the use?
I'll just give in.
Try as I may,
and I do,
I'll never win, never win, baby I'll never win.
Now, you're here, so close to me.
I can't resist you,
and I knew when I kissed you.
I'm gonna sing now

Watch it now 'cos

Falling in love, in love.
Falling in love, in love.
Falling in love, in love.

Moon bright on the ground

Rest the travel bound
After weary days
Lady luck please smile
Show the many ways
We can go where wishes go
Let's chase the shadow child

His fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go
Now ain't that just like me
Well you know crackin' up over you
You know that I love you (yeah) love you (yeah)
Won't you come along there too
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put him back again
Now ain't that just like me
Well you know crackin' up over you
You know that I love you (yeah) love you (yeah)

Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're goin', wonder what you do, without me
A telephone call from a friend I know
Left me feelin' bitter, left me feelin' so unhappy

Wonder where you're goin', wonder what to do, without me

Just like a top the world goes spinning round
Nobody knows what's going on I've found
Even from Jerusalem to old Japan
Nobody seems to have a definite, definite plan
Must be a peaceful way for us to go
Even the simplest of man must know
The situation's getting worse and worse
One day the bubble's gonna burst
But don't be frightened lady
We will never let them take your boy to war
No don't be frightened lady
We will never ever go to war no more
Why don't they finish it all
We are only people and we're terribly small
Why don't they finish it all
Do they think that people don't mean nothing, nothing at all
chorus
Students are marching now in every land
They won't be shifted just like grains of sand
If we don't get together pretty soon
We'll do the same thing on the moon
Hope you don't mind
but I changed my point of view
'Cos now I've found someone new
I thought that you knew that I need time to think
so I can see my way clear
Hope you don't mind
'cos I got it all confused
Don't think that you've been used
It's just today that I don't feel so sure
of wanting more
For what it's worth I'm sorry
For what it's worth I still can see the light of day
I still wake up in the night
Don't know if I'm wrong are you right
For what it's worth I'm sorry
For what it's worth I never meant to lead you on
And if I'm wrong I'm sorry
Maybe it was meant to be this way
Hope you don't mind
but I got no confidence
Forever now don't make no sense
I'd try again but it would be pretend
So it's the end
chorus x2
verse 3
And every time I get to thinkin'
With every thought of you, I wanna shout aloud
And then I think about the love I had inside me
How you brought what's inside out
So now love's made it to the outside
I wanna tell the world of everything I've found
Somehow your love released a spring wound up inside me
You've turned my living upside-down
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?
Tell me where you learned the magic
The spell you used the day you made me fall
Baby, now I know that love is no illusion
I'm upside-down but ten feet tall
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?
On and on I drifted with the tide
I didn't know that love could move me so
You filled my life with love and much more besides
And you showed me which way to go
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?
I take my life one day at a time
So many dreams that come and go in my mind
Is this a new beginning a time when fools are winning
Everybody needs something to believe
The world we see is changing so fast
No guarantees how long does a feeling last
One look can tell a story
My future's waiting for me
Let it be with you make it all come true
And find me a family
Somewhere to go where I can belong
That special place that I can call my home
You know I'm gonna find it someday
Please let me stay
Find me a family
I gotta know that somebody cares
I need a chance I got so much to give
If you can find me a family
Find me a family
I live and hope and whisper a prayer
when I come home that you will be waiting there
It's just a breath away and all you have to say
is stay with me tonight
You know it sounds so right
chorus
Find me a family x6
Every day, it's a-getting closer,
Going faster than a roller coaster.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Every day, it's a a-getting faster.
Everyone says go ahead and ask her.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Every day seems a little a longer.
Every way loves a little stronger.
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Verse 1
Verse 3
Verse 1
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Every day, every day, every day ...
(Words of love you whisper soft and true.
Darling, I love you.)
(Listen to me to what I say.
Our hearts can be nearer each day
Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah
He's not for you, ah-ah-ah
He just wants to spin you a line, ah-ah-ah
There's nothin' new ah-ah-ah
Just one thought on his mind
You know it's that kind you shoulda
Known when you met him you must be blind
Seems like only yesterday
That girl was mine in every way
People couldn't part us if they tried
Now she's turned her head away
She's lost her smile she's not so gay
Won't you come back to my side
Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah
He's not for you, ah-ah-ah
He just wants to spin you a line, ah-ah-ah
There's nothin' new ah-ah-ah
Just one thought on his mind
You know it's that kind you shoulda
Known when you met him you must be blind
Seems like only yesterday
That girl was mine in every way
People couldn't part us if they tried
Now she's turned her head away
She's lost her smile she's not so gay
Won't you come back to my side
Keep off of that friend of mine
Keep off of that friend of mine
Keep off of that friend of mine
Keep off of that friend of mine
Eleanor's castle boy what a hassle
Why did you have to build your walls so high
I'd put my arms around you
but a moat surrounds you
The only way's to let your drawbridge down
Nights without number
I'm without slumber
thinking of ways to breach your turrets tall
You're an iron lady
and someday maybe
you'll forget bar the iron door
Man was made to conquer
so the story goes
I wish I knew who said it
he could help me 'cause he knows
This situation getting way out of line
I can't win if you won't let me in
Ain't it a sin (It's a sin she won't let him in)
Shielded from my advances
there's very few chances
I'm a one-man crusade fighting in vain
Rack my brain for ideas
but it appears
compared to you dragons are easily slain
verse 1
verse 3
verse 5
(Gordy Jr)
You broke my heart, cauze I couldn't dance
You didn't want me around
Well now I'm back to let you know
I can really shake 'em down
(Two, three, four)
Yeh, do you love me (I can really move)
Well do you love me (I'm in the groove)
Well do love me (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance, dance, dance
Watch me now (push push)
Ah shake it up baby (push push)
Why, you're driving me crazy (push push)
Oh c'mon a little closer
Well I can mash potato (I can mash potato)
Well I can do the twist (And I can do the twist)
Woh tell me baby (Tell me baby)
Do you like it like this (Do you like it like this)
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you love me (Do you love me)
Do you love me (Do you love me)
Do you love me (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance, dance, dance
Watch me now (push push)
Ah shake it up baby (push push)
Why, you're driving me crazy (push push)
Oh c'mon a little closer
Well I can mash potato (I can mash potato)
Well I can do the twist (And I can do the twist)
Woh tell me baby (Tell me baby)
Do you like it like this (Do you like it like this)
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you love me (Oh do you love me)
Do you love me (Do you love me)
Do you love me (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance, dance, dance

Young girls and porches are filling out
Tempers and torches are burning
Brown is the colour of town
living in thunder
Hair on my top lip now I'm a man
I so often hear and feel it
Nice paying the price for being kept under
Mama says don't hang around that front gate too long
Boys like you who stay too late are surely gonna go so wrong
But Mama there's safety in numbers
It's the first time I've ever felt strong
Delaware Taggett and the Outlaw Boys
Adding a laugh to the Broadway noise
Slipping your mind where your mind don't wanna go
Off-duty porters lay sleeping wives
On-duty daughters are finding
why just touching a boy gives a thrill like a shiver
Whispers and shadows are moving fast
No prizes given to people
last drowned in the past down on the river
chorus
Who is the fox? - I am the fox
Who are you? - I am me
Who is me? - Me is a thief
You'll bring your poor, poor mother grief
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox
Where is the gold? - It's on the truck
Where's the truck? - I won't tell
You must tell - Then I will lie
You'll make your poor, poor sister cry
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox
Why do you steal? - So I'll be rich
Why not work? - Work is hard
You'll be caught - I never fail
All little crooks wind up in jail - Not me, not me
So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox
After the fox
(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
Sass 'E' Frass and Joe 'D' Glow
Headin' out to the picture show
Sweet innocence not yet 18
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Heavy chevy soft top down
One arm driver, the other arm around
Switched on hi fi rock'n'roll
Gunnin' the engine heading for the open road
Given strict instructions
Not to fall for no seductions
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Joe had no such orders
Gonna try and cross the border
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Sass makes the move she straightens her seams
Joe checks in the mirror he thinks he's James Dean
He pulls on over says he's got a flat
Sass is no fool she knows where he's at
chorus
She's had love and she's had kissin'
Knows what she's been missin'
No turnin' back for little Sass 'E' Frass
Will they be standin' side by side
if their love they cannot hide?
No turnin' back for little Sass 'E' Frass
Sass 'E' Frass and Joe 'D' Glow
never made it to the picture show
Sweet innocence thrown out the door,
she'll never be the same no more
chorus
Ooh, daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Ooh, daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Ooh, daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
One cold and sad affair
take my heart and leave it there
I'm gonna feel this way forever
Never thought that I'd be free
Now your faith is changing me
Carrie Carrie
Now only time will tell
It's a dream I know so well
You always try so hard to please me
Only thing I know for sure
I couldn't love you anymore
Carrie Carrie
Waited so long no one to share (why did you keep me waiting)
Could you belong to someone
Show you care I'll be there
Carrie is it more than a dream this time (more than a dream)
Carrie can I tell everyone you're mine (tell them you're mine)
I will never be the same
And now you made me live again
Carrie is it more than a dream this time
Carrie is it more than a dream this time
My heart is open wide
You know how I feel inside
You see my sad old days are over
Never need to hide away
Gettin' stronger everyday Carrie Carrie
chorus
Carrie can I tell everyone your mine (tell them you're mine)
Carrie is it more than a dream this time ( more than a dream)
I gave you all girl I gave everything to you
But all the love I had
It wasn't good enough for you
Just for awhile
Just for awhile you took my heart
I want it back before you tear it apart
Your eyes I can read it in your eyes
All those long forgotten lies
I can see it in your smile
More and more everyday love is fading away in your eyes
And there was a time
A time when you needed my embrace
But now we're standin here
Like two strangers face to face
I feel alone
And after all the thrill has gone
I close the door 'cause you don't need me no more
chorus x4
