Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Peter Tork have indeed carried the weight of being The Monkees - but overwhelmingly as a delight and a privilege rather than a burden. "We've been fortunate," notes Dolenz. "Every time we've gone out there's just been this incredible reaction. Usually there's a high demand for the act, and it's always been successful." Tork credits "the songs." Jones says it's "the chemistry." Ultimately, The Monkees enjoy a kind of iconic pop culture status both because of and in spite of the unusual and even existential way the group came to be. The Monkees didn't form; the band was made - in this case for an American TV show inspired by The Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night. "Madness!!" is what the 1965 audition notice promised, and the hundreds who turned out included future rock heroes Stephen Stills and Three Dog Night's Danny Hutton. But the show's producers ultimately chose two seasoned actors (Jones and Dolenz) and two musicians (Tork and Mike Nesmith) to portray their madcap rock 'n' roll band struggling to make it big. "We were a television show first and then became a rock group. I was an actor playing a musician," says Dolenz, who had never played drums before being handed a pair of sticks that his Monkees character would use. But Jones notes, "The music from the show was such a hit that eventually we had to get out there and be the group we were pretending to be." Saying The Monkees were successful during 1966-1969 is a dramatic understatement. There were points during that time when, despite the ire of rock 'n' roll hipsters, the so-called pre-fab four outsold their Liverpudlian predecessors - who, by the way, were always gracious towards Dolenz, Jones, Nesmith and Tork, and even hosted a particularly raucous party for the quartet when they played in England during 1967. And with top-shelf songwriters (Neil Diamond, Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, Lieber & Stoller, Paul Williams, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart) delivering a string of hits such as "Last Train to Clarksville," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "I'm a Believer," "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone," "Daydream Believer" and more, The Monkees were as dominant a presence as any other band at the time. The TV show ended in 1968, and The Monkees were finished by 1970, following the trippily entertaining but commercially disastrous film Head, which was co-written with Jack Nicholson. But Monkeemania would not lie dormant. Fueled by MTV's embrace of the old TV episodes, Dolenz, Jones and Tork regrouped during 1986 and became the hottest ticket of the summer; they've continued to tour and occasionally record ever since. And Nesmith, who's largely demurred from the reunions to concentrate on his film and video work, did rejoin his mates during 1996 for an album, Justus, TV movie and British tour. U.K. punk legends The Sex Pistols once covered "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone," and in 2000 the Neil Diamond-penned "I'm a Believer" was delivered by Smash Mouth for one of the year's biggest films, Shrek. And it will all go on, because it seems that audiences are still finding plenty of fun in the barrels full of Monkees music. "We get six-and eight-year-old kids and grandparents coming to our shows," Tork says. "We're proud of that range. We feel it's not nostalgia so much as its longevity." The payoff, Jones says, is the reaction. "There are so many hits, and when you sing them you can see how much they mean to people. That's a gift that you can never, ever take lightly, or for granted.''

Top Monkees, Monkees

Floatin' down the river
With a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets 'round
Goin' down
Goin' down
Coming' up for air
It's pretty stuffy under there
I'd like to say I didn't care
But I forgot to leave a note
And it's so hard to stay afloat
I'm soakin' wet without a boat
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes
It's front page news
Goin' down
Goin' down
I wish I had another drink
It wouldn't be so hard to sink
I should have taken time to think
Besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didn't need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
Don't want no more
Goin' down
I'm goin' down
And now I see the life I led
I slept it all away in bed
I should have learned to swim instead
And now it's really got me stumped
I can't believe why I jumped
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown
Goin' down
Goin' down
I wish I looked before I leaped
I didn't know it was so deep
Been down so far I don't get wet
Haven't touched the bottom yet
This river scene is gettin' old
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken her advice
I only want to go on home
I'd gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If I don't drown, I'll die of fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But I can't swim a single note
He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
And now I've floated way down stream
I know this has to be a dream
If I could find my way to shore
I'd never, never do this anymore
I'll give you three, I've been down nine
I'm goin' down just one more time.
Goin' down.
Goin' down.
Now the sky is gettin' light
An everything will be alright
Think I finally got the knack
Just floatin' here lazy on my back
I never really liked that town
I think I'll ride the river down
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
There's a river swingin' under me.
Waving back to the folks on shore
I should have thought of this before
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans
Goin' to pick up on some swingin' scenes
I know I'll know a better day
I'll go down groovin' all the way
Goin' down
Goin' down

Top Monkees, Pool It!

by Michael Levine
You said you couldn't tell the doormat from my face,
You said if I had brains I would pawn them,
Could be I've finally gotten up off of my thumbs,
Could be that you're the one that was on them.
Cause the plants have grown,
The dog came home,
The bills are all getting paid,
Things are much better since you went away.
And I've changed my looks,
I read new books,
I've got friends that mean what they say,
Things are much better since you went away.
You said without your help I couldn't tie my shoes,
You said without a doubt I'd be stranded,
Could be that you were right and you had to fly the coop,
Could be the eagle finally has landed.
Cause the plants have grown,
The dog came home,
The bills are all getting paid,
Things are much better since you went away.
And I've changed my looks,
I read new books,
I've got friends that mean what they say,
Things are much better since you went away.
When I was younger I was told without another
I'd be incomplete and deflated,
My chosen one has chosen to befriend another,
And to my surprise I'm elated.
Cause the plants have grown,
The dog came home,
And the bills are all getting paid,
Things are much better since you went away.
And I've changed my looks,
I read new books,
I've got friends that mean what they say,
Things are much better since you went away.
Yeah, the plants have grown,
And the dog came home,
And the bills are all getting paid,
Things are much better since you went away.
And I've changed my looks,
And I read new books,
I've got friends that mean what they say,
Things are much better since you went away.
Yeah, the plants have grown,
And I've got friends that talk to me now,
And I hope you never come back,
Don't ever darken up my door again,
I hope I never see your face.

Top Monkees, Time and Time Again

by David Jones & Bill Chadwick
(1...2...3...4...
We're gonna get it this time, man!)
Time and time again,
Naughty girls get me in trouble,
When I fly too high,
Something's bound to burst the bubble.
You say this is love,
Wonder if you're feeling lonely,
Tell me, if you please,
Is this for this evening, only?
Or will it be for a long, long time?
Or just a passing fancy?
Will it be for a long, long time?
I feel as though it can be.
I'll just wait and see,
What tomorrow has to bring me,
A love that is oh-so true,
Or another girl that's free and easy.
SOLO
So, I'll just wait and see,
What tomorrow has to bring me,
A love that is oh-so true,
Or another girl that's free and easy.
Time and time again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
And again.

Top Monkees, It's My Life

Lead Vocal: Micky Dolenz
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
I stumble and I fall
And I think about it all
Then I make amends
But it never ends
And I've just begun to wonder why
And I listen to the songs,
And I read all the words,
And I seem to remember something that I heard
Of a fire and a cave and shadows on the wall
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
I wanna believe in the miracles
But they mix me up. Then they pass the cup
And I've just begun to look the other way
And I don't want to lean on the stars or on the dreams
On the fantasies or the deities
Don't I think it's time to lean on me?
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now

I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket and it hurts inside,
I never thought the day
Would come when I would say goodbye this way,
Wanted so to stay.
(I've got a ticket on a ferry ride)
I still love her so,
Don't really want to go.
(I've got a ticket on a ferry ride)
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
(I've got a ticket on a ferry ride)
I've got a ticket and it hurts inside,
I wonder if she knows
That I don't really have to go, oh, no,
I still love her so.
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket and it hurts inside,
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket and it hurts inside,
I got a ticket on a ferry ride, ahhh.
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,

I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride.

Top Monkees, Ceiling In My Room

by David Jones, Don DeMieri & Robert Dick
I'm a millionaire
Without a care in the world,
I have played the game,
I've made the grade, I've shown them all.
I'm a teenage idol just starting a tune,
No, it's just the ceiling in my room.
I have got more friends
Than I've ever had before,
But, are all these friends
Like the ones I knew before?
Hey, look, there's my old schoolmates there at my back door,
No, it's just the ceiling in my room.
If I could only be part
Of the things that I see,
I'd trade all the wealth and fame
You've given to me,
Oh, I want to be free.
But, no matter what
My future may bring,
I always will remember
Just one simple thing.
That when all my visions contain only gloom,
I know it's just the ceiling in my room, my room, my room.
La-da-ta, la-da-ta, da-da-da-da-da-ta-ta
La-da-da, la-da-da, da-da-daah.

Top Monkees, Dandruff

"Supernatural, perhaps..."
"Change one tape, the entire process is regeared. Leisure: the
inevitable by-product of our civilization. The tragedy of your times, my
young friends, is

Top Monkees, As We Go Along

by Carole King & Toni Stern
I can tell by your face
That you're looking to find a place
To settle your mind and reveal who you are,
And you shouldn't be shy,
For I'm not gonna try
To hurt you or heal you or steal your star.
Open your eyes,
Get up off of your chair,
There's so much to do in the sunlight,
Give up your secrets,
And let down your hair,
And sit with me here by the firelight.
Why think all about
Who's gonna win out?
We'll make up our story as we go along,
There's so little time
For us to try to rhyme,
And so many highways to travel upon.
Open your eyes,
Get up off of your chair,
There's so much to do in the sunlight,
Give up your secrets,
And let down your hair,

Top Monkees, Hollywood

by Michael Nesmith
The sun that's falling from the southwestern sky
Tells me that I must depart,
So, by sundown today, I'll be on my way,
But I'll be leaving my heart.
It's not the countryside that appealed to my eyes,
It's the spirit and it captured my mind,
But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me,
Now a different road, I must find.
These things I think are new, I guess they're really old,
It seems I've done 'em once before
Now, to go back to that fork in the road,
Takes all the strength of my soul and more.
Oh, goodbye, goodbye you cruel town,
You've been a fair-weather friend,
Now I will go to some places that I know
Where things don't start just to end.
These things I think are new, I guess they're really old,
It seems that I've done 'em once before,
Now, to go back to that fork in the road,
Takes all the strength of my soul and more.
Oh, goodbye, good goodbye you cruel town,
You've been a fair-weather friend,
Now I will go to some place that I know

Top Monkees, Auntie's Municipal Court

Fine man, crazy man, he can't see.
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea.
Why do the people always look at me?
Nobody can see that we are you,
We are you.
She's him, too.
She's him, too.
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see.
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four.
Somebody here just sent for more
Red and yellow cartoons saying we need two
We need two.
More than you.
More than you.
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four.
Ummmm, hummmmmm.

Top Monkees, Can You Dig It

Some thing doesn't change
There is only one
Always changing inside
What does it become
Can you dig it?
Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?
Those who know it use it
Those who start it die
To sing that you can dig it
Is to make your summer fly
Can you dig it?
Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?
Can you dig it?
Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?
There is only feeling
In this world of life and death
I sing the praise of never change
With every single breath
Can you dig it?
Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?
Hey!...

Top Monkees, What Am I Doing Hangin' 'round

Just a loud mouth Yankee I went down to Mexico.
I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so.
There I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so.
But I found myself a-thinkin' when the time had come to go...
CHORUS:
What am I doin' hangin' round?
I should be on that train and gone.
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone,
What am I doin' hangin' round?
She took me to the garden just for a little walk.
I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk.
Then she told me that she loved me not with words but with a kiss.
And like a fool I kept on thinkin' of a train I could not miss...
CHORUS
Well it's been a year or so, and I want to go back again.
And if I get the money, well I'll ride the same old train.
But I guess your chances come but once and boy I sure missed mine.
And still I can't stop thinkin' when I hear some whistle cryin'....

WHEN LOVE COMES KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR
(Neil Sedaka/Carole Bayer Sager)
MONKEES - 1967
When love comes knockin’ at your door
Just open up and let him in;
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride,
So little girl now don't you run and hide.
I know that you've been hurt before,
But don't you be afraid no more;
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind,
When love comes knockin’ at your door.

When love comes knockin’ at your door,
(That you're afraid of loving me)
Just open up and let him in;

At your door, at your door, at your door

Top Monkees, All Alone In The Dark

I can see you when the moon is shining bright
I can feel you when the moon is out of sight
Whisper softly, well it sounds so nice
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark
I can hear the words you whisper when you're near
I can feel them tickle softly in my ear
Kiss me softly while there's no one here
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark
You know this darkness makes me see
That you're the only one for me
You know this darkness makes me see
And this time's the only time
We can make our feelings ryhme
With all the things we could not say
I can see you when the moon is shining bright
I can feel you when the moon is out of sight
Whisper softly, well it sounds so nice
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark

Top Monkees, Calico Girlfriend Samba

by Michael Nesmith
Mike: I dunno...
CR: This is twelve...
Mike: ...they don't smell like corn silk...
Everybody, Samba!
Me and my calico girlfriend,
Starting a set of new rules,
Watching the stars as they drop in,
Making the nightime a fool.
Wandering over a roadway,
Changing the signs of the times,
Looking for love and a new day,
Seeing with more than our eyes.
SOLO
Keeper of men and a shadow,
Follow us up to the top,
Taking a latch off the window,
Giving us more than we dropped.
Me and my calico girlfriend,
Suddenly stare at the face
Of time and its hope that we'll win
Then, softly, drop out of the race.
Steal away,
Oh, going back to Rhode Island,
Going way back up to Rhode Island,
Shaking maracas in Rhode Island,
Maybe go to Providence, Rhode Island,
Dancing with a girl with fruit on her head in Rhode Island,
Rhode Island, Rhode Island, Rhode Island,
Fruit on her head and cork wedgies across the floor,
Across the floor in Rhode Island,
I'm gonna be free in Rhode Island.

You might think I love you,
But I never said I did.
So don't impose your will upon me,

Oh, don't try to tame me
Or blame me or name me,
Oh, baby, ease up on the reins.

Top Monkees, Dont Listen To Linda

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
Don't listen to Linda,
She said all those things before,
She's just a pretender,
And, though you couldn't love her more,
She'll lead you on, but then one day,
She'll say you have to part,
Don't listen to Linda,
She'll only break your heart.
Don't listen to Linda,
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, she'll do it twice,
There's more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.
You'll never understand her,
All the presents you could hand her,
Would never be enough,
Oh no, so, don't underestimate her,
'Cause sooner or later,
The going's gonna start to get rough.
Don't listen to Linda,
Don't believe the things you hear,
You're her top contender,
For the loser-of-the-year,
I've said everything I can
To try and make you see,
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.
SOLO

Top Monkees, Daddy's Song

Years ago I knew a man
He was my mother's biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And he'd tell how my life would be
When I grew up to be a man
Years ago we used to play
He used to laugh when I ran away
But when I fell and hurt my knee
He used to come and comfort me
And the pain would go away
Years ago I knew a boy
He was his daddy's pride and joy
But when the daddy went away
It was such a rainy day
That he brought out all his toys
Now the momma did explain
Trying to take away the pain
He just couldn't understand
That his father was not a man
And it all was just a game
Years have passed and so have I
Making it hard to cry
And if and when I have a son
Let it all be said and done
Let all that sadness pass him by

Top Monkees, Oklahoma Backroom Dancer

by Michael Nesmith
She's always appearing with a band of renown,
You want to go and see her when you're feeling down,
She's a breathtaking spectacle with guaranteed hope,
She'll make you feel good 'cause she's the best thing since soap,
She'll greet you in the alley with a fortified smile,
She's the original sideshow and she's got her own style.
Pardon my baby, she got to have her fun,
Yes, I say, pardon my baby, she got to have her fun,
'Cause she's the Oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her run.
Now, she dances on air just like Superman's child,
Like a field of sheep grazing, she's wild but she's mild,
She's more fun than Colorado and more farout than Maine,
She comes on like thunder and she's more right than rain,
She's the mother of earth and the goddess of thirst,
She's the chicken and the egg and whichever came first.
Pardon my baby, she got to have a chance,
Oh, I say, pardon my baby, she got to have a chance,
'Cause she's the Oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her dance.
Whoo...
SOLO
Oh, my, somebody get the piano player a drink of water...
Yeah, I say pardon my baby, she got to have her fun,

Top Monkees, Come On In

by Neil Levenson & Steven Duboff
Come on in,
You sure look good to me,
Come on in,
I've learned how lonely I can be.
I guess we'll never know just what went wrong,
You know it's been a whole year, has passed us, by and gone,
But, we're back together now, where we belong,
So, baby, come on in.
Come on in,
I heard your footstep on the stair,
Come on in,
I'd know it anywhere.
Your old chair in the corner is just a', a'sitting there waiting,
It's been a long time anticipating,
What a long time it's been,
So, baby, come on in.
Over and over, I told myself,
I said, "Son, you've got to lose these blues,"
"Get ready for the day when she'll walk in the door,"
So, I dusted off your housecoat and I polished up your shoes.
Come on in,
You know you're welcome here,
Aww, come on in,
It's been a long, long year.
Now I know why I waited around,
I wouldn't run around town, let them put me down,
I knew if I waited, I would win,
So, baby, come on in.
Come on in,
Come on in,

Top Monkees, Counting on You

by Alan Green
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one of these days
I'll be back with you counting the ways
That I love you through and through.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, tentatively
You put up the signs,
Letting me know you are mine.
And I'm counting on you to be here through it all,
I'm counting on you to catch me if I fall,
Whatever you do, remember I am always counting on you.
Flight six, eight, one, gate forty-two,
At seven-fifteen I'll feel ten feet tall,
Knowing you care, after all.
And I'm counting on you to be here through it all,
I'm counting on you to catch me if I fall,
Whatever you do, remember I am always counting on you.

Top Monkees, Daily Nightly

Words and Music by Michael Nesmith
Darkened rolling figures move thru' prisms of no color.
Hand in hand, they walk the night,
But never know each other.
Passioned pastel neon lights light up the jeweled trav'ler
Who, lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams,
Find questions, but no answers.
Startled eyes that sometimes see phantasmagoric splendor
Pirouette down palsied paths
With pennies for the vendor.
Salvation's yours for just the time it takes to pay the dancer.
And once again such anxious men
Find questions, but no answers.
The night has gone and taken it's infractions,
While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one.
Sahara signs look down upon a world that glitters glibly.
And mountain sides put arms around
The unsuspecting city.
Second hands that minds have slowed are moving even faster
Toward bringing down someone who's found

Top Monkees, Cripple Creek

Married her up by the light of the moon.
We live down on Cripple Creek.
We've been there about a week.

Top Monkees, Cuddly Toy

La la la la ...
You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night
And gave up without a fight
Your're not the only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep
I never told you not to love no other
You must of dreamed it in your sleep

Top Monkees, Pillow Time

by Janelle Scott & Matt Willis
There's a Wonderland for Alice,
There's a tall beanstalk for Jack,
The sleepy train will take you there,
So safely down the track,
With the sandman at the throttle,
You'll be off to dreams and back,
It's pillow time again.
You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down Mother Goose Lane,
Romp with Jack and Jill,
Up and down the hill,
And try to put Humpty together again.
Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop,
The candy whistle's blowing,
Don't you miss your station stop,
So, good night, my weary farer,
Pleasant dreams to you, old top,
It's pillow time again.

Top Monkees, Party

by David Jones & Steve Pitts
Now that the party's over,
Now that the noise is through,
Now that the room is empty,
There's only me and you,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.
There were so many people
Trying to talk to you,
Telling you how they need you,
Trying to get to you,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.
Thoughts ring through my head,
All the things that you said
Didn't seem to matter early on,
But, now that the people have gone,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.
Now that you know how I feel,
Everything's up to you,
Now that the party's over
Tell me what I should do,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you,
With you, with you,
With you, with you,

Heights of waiting finally won me
Happiness that's all rolled up in you
And now with you as inspriation
I look toward a destination
Sunny bright that once before was blue
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you and I know you love me
So take my hand I'll start my journey
Free from all the helpless worry
That besets a man when he's alone
For strength is mine when we're together
And with you I know I'll never
Have to pass the high road for the low
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
'Cause I love you and I know you love me
Yes, I love you and I... know... you....love....me!!!!!!!!

Top Monkees, Carlisle Wheeling

In a long and involved conversation with myself
I saw a precious thing come into view
When I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf
I dusted off some memories of you
Then I thought about the times
When all the world was green
How the pheonix of our love first flapped its silver wings
All the urgency and passion of each new day as it happened
And how it all mellowed as it grew
I remember the times that our laughter would explode
And how you would turn to hide your smile
Then the hours of silence while the perfumed candle glowed
And both of us meandered on for miles
I remember the time I said I really had to go
I remember the tears that filled your eyes
Then I touched your hand and told you that it really was a lie
And though you never knew I did, I cried
It's amazing how time can so softly change your ways
And make you look at things that can't be seen
How the years that roll by can start you listening
Not just to what they say, but what they mean
So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied
If the razor edge of youth filled love is gone
But we're both a little older, our relationship has grown
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown
So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied
If the razor edge of youth filled love is gone
But we're both a little older and our relationship has grown
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown

Top Monkees, Changes

Seasons may change, we stay the same.
We always stay the same.
We always stay the same.
Winter brings snow, when no, no flowers grow.
They wait for the Spring.
Yes, they wait 'til the Spring.
In the Spring, young men grow.
'Til they're old enough to know,Better.
Better.
Leaves have turned green, now Spring has been
And gone
Summer's here.
The Autumn trees swing to and fro.
Their leaves turn brown,
Now young men know
Better.
Better.
["Just let me listen to that."]
Ev'ryone one feels good
And I knew they would.
It's been quite a good year.
It's been quite a good year.

Top Monkees, Porpoise song

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice
Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style
Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie
But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Top Monkees, Pleasant Valley Sunday

The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Seranade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green he's so serene, He's got a t.v. in every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Ta Ta Ta...
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday...

Top Monkees, Then & Now ... The Best of The Monkees

You always say you like my style.
You say I'm tough and kind of wild.
Am I too much for you to tame?
I swear this time it's not a game.
I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.
That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now
I've led a thousand lives it seems.
And there's been a lot of broken dreams.
My mind's just swept love aside.
But you broke me down and put me wise.
I've doubted all compassion,
But you showed me the door.
I can't doubt it,
I don't doubt it no more.
That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now.
I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.

I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now.
That was then, this is now.
That was then, this is now.

Top Monkees, Just A Game

by Micky Dolenz
There's a way, there's a way for you and I if you'll just stay,
If you'll just stay to keep me hidden from the day,
And all its light that's covered up by night when you're away.
When you're away the image of your face is clear,
It is clear across the room and I am here,
Against the wall, afraid that it is all just a game.
Just a game that's played in fun but not too real,
Not too real to take a chance on finding out
You've really lost, I can't see you clearly while I'm here.
While I'm here and you are in my state of mind,
My state of mind is changing places all the time,
And I am lost, trying to get across another time.
When you're away the image of your face is clear,
It is clear across the room and I am here,
Against the wall, afraid that it is all just a game,
Just a game,
Just a game,
Just a game,
Just a game,
Just a game,
Just a game,
Just a game.

Top Monkees, It's Got To Be Love

I held you tight, and we fell, life took a breath
Made me weep, blanket kissed your lips
And I know that it tasted just like it felt
I'd never see all this happen to me
But it feels like love, makes me weep like love
And it tastes just like it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air, I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love
I look at you, and it looks like it when you talk
Oh it sounds like it deep inside
All my thoughts and my heart say it's so
Still I've got to be sure 'cause I've been fooled before
But it looks like love and it sounds like love
And my heart tells me it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air, I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love

It's Got To Be Love
I held you tight and it felt like it
Took a breath made me weak like it
Kissed your lips and I know that it tasted just like it felt
I've never seen all this happen to me
But it feels like love
Makes me weak like love
And it tastes just like it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love

Top Monkees, Sometime in the Morning

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King
Sometime in the morning
A simple thought may occur to you,
And you hold her,
And tell her all the things you never told her.
Your love has shown me things
I never thought I could see;
I didn't know
It could be done so easily.
Now I know
You're where it is for me.
Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside
And she'll touch you
And you'll realize how much you
Never knew before,
How much you couldn't see.
You didn't know
It could be done so easily
Now you know
She's all a girl could be.
Now in her childlike eyes
You see the beauty there
You know it was always there
And you need no longer wear a disguise.
Sometime in the morning
You'll just reach out and she will be there,
Close as the summer air.
Sometime in the morning she will be there.
(She will be there)
Sometime in the morning she will be there.

Top Monkees, Some Of Shelly's Blues

by Michael Nesmith
Tell me,
Just one more time the reasons why you must leave,
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't need me,
Tell me again but, don't think that you'll convince me.
Now you've said,
Before falling in love again you'd rather be dead,
'Cause when someone breaks your heart, you cry your eyes red,
But there's nothing so hard about the life that you've led.
As far as I can see,
There's no reason for goodbyes,
You're just running scared,
And that's something I won't buy.
So you lose,
I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues,
And all this talk about leaving is strictly bad news,
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.
As far as I can see,

Top Monkees, Star Collector

Take a letter, keep on going
Where ever it is, she's goin', too
Give her my autograph and tell her
It's been nice knowin' you
She's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
She only seems to please young celebrities
Yes she's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
How can I love her, when I just don't respect her?
When everything is goin' my way
She wants to be close at hand
She moves to some other doorway
When things don't go the way she planned
Yes she's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
She only seems to please young celebrities
Yes she's a star collector
(Collector of stars)
It won't take much time before I get her off my mind
Yes she's a star collector

She only seems to please young celebrities
Yes she's a star collector

Top Monkees, St. Matthew

by Michael Nesmith
She walks around on brass rings that never touch her feet,
She speaks in conversations that never are complete,
And looking over past things that she has never done,
She calls herself St. Matthew when she is on the run.
She stoops down to gather partly-shattered men,
And knows that when it's over, it will start again,
Both the times she smiled, it was a portrait of the son,
She calls herself St. Matthew when she is on the run.
Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal,
But, most of it is weariness from standing up, trying not to kneel.
She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead,
Sometimes she must raise her hand to tell you what she said,
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
The girl that's named St. Matthew when she is on the run.
Part of it is loneliness and knowing how to steal,
But, most of it is weariness from standing up, trying not to kneel.
She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead,
Sometimes she must raise her hand to tell you what she said,
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes

Top Monkees, Sunny Girlfriend

by Michael Nesmith
She owns and operates her own sunshine factory,
Of painting smiles on dolls and then on me,
She's my sunny girlfriend and personality.
Well, she's got a book that tells about everybody's past,
And she can make it slow while making your mind move fast,
She's my sunny girlfriend and she is never last.
Oh, while I am sleeping,
Then she comes creeping
Into my thoughts at night,
Gazing down through eyes as bright as wonder.
She can send you on your way to everywhere,
She's only started after you think that she is there,
Oh, she's my sunny girlfriend, and she just doesn't care,

Top Monkees, Storybook of You

Out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't hold true, in my storybook of you
Turn a page back in time
That's all I can do
In my storybook of you
First in love
Then afraid
Somehow every story must come to an end
Oh, it happened too soon
In my storybook of you
Out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't hold true, in my story book of you
Of you...

Top Monkees, Take a Giant Step

Words and Music by
Gerry Goffin and Carole King
Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
I will melt your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time you felt like you did then.
There's just no percentage in remembering the past
It's time you learned to live again at last.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.
You stare at me in disbelief
You say for you there's no relieve
But I swear I'll prove you wrong.
Don't stay in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom.
That's not where you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the tast of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.

Top Monkees, Sweet Young Thing

By Gerry Goffin, Carole King and Michael Nesmith
Know that something very strange
Is happening to my brain.
I'm either feeling very good
Or else I am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
But feel that I must yield before
The wisdom of a child
And it's love you bring,
No that I can't deny,
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.
People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But I resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down..
Turned on to the sunset,
Like I've never done before.
And I listen for your footsteps
And your know upon the door.
And it's love you bring,
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things,
When I seem them in your eyes
Sweet young thing.

Top Monkees, So Goes Love

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King
Girl, this is goodbye for us,
I'm afraid there's no two ways about it,
Now you say you need my love,
But you'll just have to learn to live without it.
So goes love,
Don't try to understand it,
Oh, so goes love,
It never goes the way you planned it.
When you meant the world to me,
That's the time you said you didn't want me,
You played around in front of me,
Yeah, you did everything you could to taunt me.
So goes love,
Don't try to understand it,
Oh, so goes love,
And, when it dies, you can't disguise it.
It's been said you've made your bed
And now you have to lie in it,
There's no denying it's a shame,
But there's really no one else for you to blame.
Oh, so goes love,
Don't try to understand it,
Oh, so goes love,

Top Monkees, Missing Links, Vol. 3

How insensitive
I must have seemed when she told me that she loved me
How unnerved and cold
I must have seemed when she told so sincerely
Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do, what can you do
When a love affair is over?
So now she's gone away
And I'm alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still, all the heartache in that last look
Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say, what can you say
When a love affair is over?

She said gimme forty dollars and we'll look and see
Hop up on the table now we'll take some blood
Find out what you're dyin' of
She called me in the morning and she said now here're the facts
Well, it isn't your liver and it isn't your back
It's not your blood sugar or the Asian flu
That's not what killing you
You're dyin' of a broken heart
It really wasn't very smart
You lived through Nixon and a drug or two
Just to get your due
Dyin' of a broken heart
I called my analyst said I was a mess
He said gimme hundred dollars and we'll take a test
Lie down on the couch and tell me what you dream
It really isn't what it seems

And I'm cryin'
It really wasn't very smart

Top Monkees, Dream World

By David Jones and Steve Pitts
Walking around with your head in the clouds
You don't care.
Why must you walk when you know
You're not going anywhere.
Why don't you come out of your dream world
It's not real.
It's not the way it seems to be.
Why don't you come into the real world.
Come with me.
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams.
You'll see.
Always pretending that everything's fine
When it's not.
Why must you lie when you know that
You'll aways get caught.
Why don't you come out of your dream world
It's not real.
It's not the way it seems to be.
Why don't you come into the real world.
Come with me.
We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams.
You'll see.
[Instrumental]
Why don't you come out of your dream world

You'll see.
You'll see.

Top Monkees, Moving In With Rico

There were tears in her eyes when she gave me the news last night
I tried to disguise all the hurt that I felt inside
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - this was the end
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more
We stood by the door and she put her hand in mine
Could have fell through the floor when we said our last goodbye
I just stood and watched her walk away
The love of my life is leaving today
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't love me no more
Suddenly, she was gone
How sad it feels to be alone
Now there's a stranger in my shoes
Some you win, and some you lose
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - is this the end
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico, she's moving in with Rico

Top Monkees, Mr. Webster

by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
Ev'ryone in town knew Mr. Webster;
He worked at the bank for forty years.
And each week Mr. Frizby made his check out
For sixty-eight dollars clear.
And thru the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies
And each time Frizby promised him a raise.
They gave a retirement party for Mr. Webster
Everyone from the bank was there.
They had a cake and flowers ordered special
And Frizby had a speech prepared.
And a little white box that held a watch with this inscription
";To Mr. Webster, with regards.";
Then came the telegram from Mr. Webster
Said, ";Sorry...stop...Cannot attend..
I've flown away and taken all your money
Wish you were here to help me spend.";
And one by one all the people left the party
And Mr. Frizby locked the door.

Top Monkees, Don't Call On Me

Don't call on me
When you're feeling footloose, and fancy-free.
You've done that before,
And like a fool I came back for more.
It's all over now,
I've finally seen my way.
I need you no more,
Not now or any other day.
OK, little girl, live for yourself
In your own little world.
I know that you'll find
Someone who'll play and love you,
Be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind.

Top Monkees, Don't bring me down

It used to be such a good thing
Such an easy feeling
I didn't know you were looking
Didn't know you were stealing
I was loving you when we were alone
But you had other ideas of your own
Word gets around
Don't bring me down
We used to have us some good times
Used to laugh together
It took awhile to realize
You were wantin' something better
When we were kissin' I closed my eyes
But you were lookin' at the other guys
I played the clown
Don't bring me down
It used to be such a good thing
Such an easy feelin'
I didn't know you were lookin'
I didn't know you were stealing
I went and messed it up and fell in love
But you sure know how to make it rough
You're still around
Don't bring me down

Top Monkees, DO YOU FEEL IT TOO

I'm like a toy balloon
And someone cruel has cut the string
I'm drifting out of sight
My head's too light to find a thing
Oh baby, life is like a cartoon movie
Being with you makes it groovy
Everything you do is new to me
And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?
I can't believe my ears
You know I hear such crazy sounds
Each time I talk to you
And walk with you I'm off the ground
Oh baby, love is great, you just can't top it
Got the ball we mustn't drop it
Girl there ain't a thing can stop it now
And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?
Tell me baby
Oh baby, life is like a cartoon movie
Being with you makes it groovy
Everything you do is new to me
And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?

Top Monkees, Do Not Ask For Love (Prithee)

Do Not Ask for Love (Prithee)
And is it so, once you thou art returning?
Hast thou lost thy way as once before?
I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be.
I shall not be thy refuge once more.
Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.
But I shan't hear thee as before.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.
So go my way, and soon I shall go likewise.
And if thy path be high, then be mine low.
Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not.
For soon they shall be covered with snow.
Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.
But I shan't hear thee as before.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.

Top Monkees, Ditty Diego - War Chant

by Jack Nicholson & Robert Rafelson
(Well?
Are you kidding? Ha-ha!
Hey, now wait a minute...)
Hey, hey, we are The Monkees,
You know we love to please,
A manufactured image
With no philosophies.
We hope you'll like our story,
Although, there isn't one,
That is to say, there's many,
That way, there is more fun.
You've told us you like action,
And games of many kinds,
You like to dance, we like to sing,
So, let's all lose our minds.
We know it doesn't matter,
'Cause what you came to see,
Is what we'd love to give you,
And give it 1-2-3.
But, it may come 3-2-1-2,
Or jump from 9 to 5,
And when you see the end in sight,
The beginning may arrive.
For those who look for meanings,
In form, as they do fact,
We might tell you one thing,
But we'd only take it back.
Not back like in a box back,
Not back like in a race,
Not back so we can keep it,
But back in time and space.
You say we're manufactured,
To that we all agree,
So make your choice and we'll rejoice
In never being free.
Hey, hey, we are the Monkees,
We've said it all before,
The money's in, we're made of tin,
We're here to give you more,
The money's in, we're made of tin,
We're here to give you...
(Scream)
(We want The Monkees!!
We want The Monkees!!)
Gimme a "W",
Gimme an "A",
Gimme an "R",

Top Monkees, Daydream Believer

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
Whoops its ringing and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times starts and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
[Instrumental interlude]
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

Top Monkees, Oh What a Night

(David Jones)
Immortal Music (BMI)
Lead Vocal: Davy Jones
Oh, what a night
But now I must forget you
But my heart won't let you
Out of my life
Oh, what a day
We walked around the city
You said now isn't it a pity
That I couldn't stay
But if I could life that night again
(and again)
It would be the same
And if I had the chance
(just one chance)
I'd stay another day
Oh, what a night
Your kisses were so tender
I always will remember
The promises we made
Oh, what a day
You smiled and it was magic
I thought it was tragic
I had to go away
But if I could live that night again
(and again)
It would be the same
And if I had the chance
(just one chance)
I'd stay another day
Oh, what a night
Oh what a night (oh yeah)
At last we're back together
I've been wondering whether
It would feel the same
Oh what a day (oh no)
When you said you had another
I guess I'll recover
To love again someday
But if I could live that night again
(and again)
It would be the same
And if I had the chance
I'd stay another (stay another) day
I'd stay another day

Top Monkees, My Share Of The Sidewalk

If your the girl that i know this (the rest of this line is unclear),
than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.
If your the chick I saw in the tall grass looking at someone through tinted blue glass, than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.
Cause I've never been this close before, to someone who didn't seem to mind. I've never found hellos before, I've only found goodbyes.
If your the girl I met in my daydreams, handing out flowers and chocolate ice cream, than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.
If your the girl that I talked to and said do you mind if I love you, than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.
Cause I've never been this close before, to someone who didn't run and hide. I've never found hellos before, I've only found goodbyes.

Top Monkees, Never enough

(Micky Dolenz)
Micky Dolenz Music (BMI)
Lead Vocal: Micky Dolenz
From Justus
Why is it never enough
No matter what I do?
I gave it all that I've got
And it's always too few
And now you're asking for more
Why do I hesitate?
'Cause I know in the end
That it's always too late
And not enough for you
I've often heard you say
You've got to seize the day
That when your life is gone,
Oh how it's gone for so long
But there are often times
When life is not so kind
And there are those around
Who need your feet on the ground
And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
Oh, I long for all those years
Wasted alone with these endless tears
And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
It's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
For you

Top Monkees, Never Tell a Woman Yes

by Michael Nesmith
(Nez scatting...
Oh my, my, my...)
In a dusty caravan,
Was a girl of a golden tan,
And she asked me if I was headed to the east,
I politely stepped aside,
And said I did not need a ride,
That I'd rather take my chances with the heat.
Well, when she turned and walked away,
I saw my big mistake,
There were jewels on her body, oh, so rare,
Had it been another day,
I just might have rode away
With that woman, riding off to God knows where.
So, the years they came and went
And found me living in a tent,
Far above a little marble stream,
And it may have been the light
That shone out through the night,
That attracted the hand-scratching on my screen.
When I cautiously looked out
Through the night, there was no doubt
That the owner of the hand was that girl,
So I bid her, "Do come in,
"And I'll open up a tin,
"If you'll tell me about your trip around the world."
Well, she said, "And if you'll think back,
"To the first time that we passed,
"I'm sure you'll picture me in all my jewels,
"And it was shortly after then
"That I ran into another man
"And I asked him the same question that I asked you."
"But now he, he didn't refuse,
"And he took off both of his shoes
"And climbed aboard my eastbound caravan,
"And then in the twinkling of an eye,
"He had knocked me off the side
"And left me there for dead upon the sand."
"Then I thought that I was done,
"Lying naked in the sun,
"When, much to my surprise, who should pass,
"But this old friend of yours,
"He said he knew you from the wars,
"And I told him that I thought you'd headed west."
"Well, he said he should have known,
"'Cause you liked to be alone,
"And that's the time I knew you were my one,
"So I asked him for a ride,
"Just to get here by your side,
"And stay here above this stream out of the sun."
Well, we sat quiet for a while,
Then I began to smile,
And I said, "Well it's strange, but I don't care,"
And some nights when I'm at rest
I wonder if I had said "Yes,"
If she'd have come to me from God knows where.
Or would I have been the one,
To leave her lying in the sun,
And then ended up with only precious stones?
Or would the woman in my arms,
Be giving me her charms
If the answer that I gave her wasn't "No"?

Top Monkees, Nine Times Blue

by Michael Nesmith
There's a certain something in the way
You looked at me and said you'd stay
That let me know that I was out of line,
But I didn't know what else to do,
And like a fool, I tested you,
By demanding things of you which weren't mine.
And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me,
But you did it with such love,
That you're standing far above
Me and all I did to you,
I'm sorry now, what can I do?
I know that never in the world,
Could I have found me such a girl,
Who's there to pick me up before I fall,
And if, in the end, we should go
Both our separate ways, I know
The lesson I've learned here is worth it all.
And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me,
But you did it with such love
That you're standing far above
Me and all I did to you,
I'm sorry now, what can I do?
I know that never in the world,
Could I have found me such a girl,
Who's there to pick me up before I fall,
And if, in the end, we should go
Both our separate ways, I know

Top Monkees, You and I ( In album Justus )

(Micky Dolenz & David Jones)
Immortal Music (BMI)
Lead Vocal: Davy Jones
From Justus (see also Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart)
After all the spotlights and the flowers
After all the parties and goodbyes
There was something in the air
Something that we realized we would always share
And it was You and I
You and I
After all the music and the madness
After all the late night fantasies
We knew that we would make it through
There was little in our way
Nothing they could do
'Cause it was You and I and promises not broken
You and I and magic memories
After all was said and done they never understood
How we always made it. We knew we always would
'Cause it was You and I
You and I
Now it seems that we are still together
And all the others never made it through
Someday they'll learn our secret way
It isn't such a secret, it isn't hard to do
'Cause it's You and I and promises not broken
You and I and magic memories
After all was said and done they never understood
How we always made it. We knew we always would
'Cause it was You and I
You and I
You and I

Top Monkees, A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You

by Neil Diamond
Walk out, girl don't you walk out,
We've got things to say.
Talk out, let's have it talked out,
And things will be okay.
Girl, I don't want to fight.
I'm a little bit wrong, you're a little bit right.
I said girl, you know that it's true,
It's a little bit me, and it's a little bit you,
Too.
Don't know just what I said wrong,
But girl, I apologize.
Don't go, here's where you belong
So wipe the tears from your eyes.
Girl, I don't want to fight.
I'm a little bit wrong, you're a little bit right.
I said girl, you know that it's true,
It's a little bit me, and it's a little bit you,

Top Monkees, OF YOU

by Bill Chadwick
I walk alone most every night,
Beneath the stars that shine so bright,
Bright as the eyes of you.
And when the sky comes falling down,
And there is darkness all around,
All around, I'll be looking for you.
Lonely, I look at the green, flowing meadow,
Wondering what I am to do,
Sun going down and, the trees cast their shadow,
In the shadow and the mist,
I remember the last kiss of you.
And when the skies are, once more, blue,
I get that old longing, too,
To be held in the arms of you.
SOLO
And when the skies are, once more, blue,
I get that old longing, too,
To be held in the arms of you,

Top Monkees, A Man Without a Dream

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King
With the music of life, my soul is out of tune,
And I feel like I'm growing old much too soon,
My love for you, I just couldn't convey,
And the keys to my happiness, I let slip away.
Now I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.
Instead of striving to reach my goals and my aims
I got distracted with meaningless games,
For just an illusion, I traded love that was real,
Now my eyes cannot see and my heart cannot feel.
Now I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.
SOLO
Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate,
Doomed to find out things a little too late,
And so I must play this broken man's role,
Unless you come home, girl, and bring back my soul.
'Cause I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream,
Without a dream,

Top Monkees, You And I

by David Jones & Bill Chadwick
You and I have seen what time does, haven't we?
We both had time to grow, you know,
We've got more growing to do, me and you,
And the rest of them, too.
You can see the changes we've been going through,
Such a pity, what a shame, who can we blame?
You and me, me and you,
And the rest of them, too.
In a year or maybe two,
We'll be gone and someone new will take our place,
There'll be another song,
Another voice, another pretty face.
SOLO
You and I have seen what time does, haven't we?
We both had time to grow, you know,
We've got more growing to do, me and you,

Top Monkees, Secret Heart

No other love stood the test of time
Can you imagine how I'd feel if you were mine?
Once I know it's not make-believe
It's plain to see that you've got something over me
You hold the key to my secret heart
Just turn the lock
And we could be lovers after dark
[repeat]
With other girls it's just been physical
So many times before I never cared at all
With you I realize what love could be
And I could feel that you've got something over me
You hold the key to my secret heart
Just turn the lock
And we could be lovers after dark
[repeat]
[musical bridge]
You hold the key to my secret heart
Just turn the lock
And we could be lovers after dark
[repeat to fade]

Monday had a sad child,
Always feeling low down.
Tuesday had a dream child,
She's always on the go
So I'm in love with Saturday's child.

Be friends with me, be friends with me.
I'm feeling very bad today,
Another cat came in to stay,
He's eating all my food,
He's speaking very crude,
He's gonna change the mood.
I'm feeling very bad today,
A red balloon got in my way,
It followed me around,
But never touched the ground,
What can I say?
He built a house upon a hill,
Ask him if he's happy and then give him a pill,
He's going mad.
He bought another car today,
Ask him if he's happy, then turn the other way,
He's going mad.
He's going mad,
He's going mad,
He's going mad,
He's going mad,
He's going mad,
He's going mad,
He's going mad,
He's going mad,

Mad, mad, mad, mad.
He's feeling very bad today,
Another cat came in to stay,
He's eating all my food,
He's speaking very crude,
He's gonna change the mood.
Black and shiny, now you've finally
Gotten everything you wanted
And you're taunted by the power
That you really don't want anymore,
Ba-ba, more, ba-ba.
Everybody's talking faster,
"Hurry up, get me a master,"
"I don't have much time to lose,"
"And, besides, I'm polishing my shoes."
Crossing the street,
Watching your feet or you'll die in a Thunderbird light,
Wishing with all of your might that you'd read
The newspaper that you forgot to buy today,
How will you know what they do when they say hey, hey?
I'm feeling very bad today, (I'm feeling bad)
Another girl came by to stay, (I love you more)
I can't think of a word,
To tell you what I've heard,
I've been away,
I've been away,
I've been away,
I've been away,
I've been away,
I've been away,
I've been away,
I've been away,
I've been away,
I've been away.

Top Monkees, Shades of Gray

By Barry Mann and Cyntha Weil
When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday.
Live was such a simple game,
A child could play.
It was easy then to tell right from wrong.
Easy then to tell weak from strong.
When a man should stand and fight,
Or just go along.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate,
The foolish from the wise.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
[Instumental interlude]
It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share.
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
Only shades of gray.

Top Monkees, All of Your Toys

Once upon a once in a while
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys
Can't you see I don't wanna play
I don't need it
Can't you say you want me to stay
I'd believe it
Just like all of your toys
CHORUS:
When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl, will you be happy
With nothing but tears?
With nothing but tears?
Once upon a once in a while
It's hard to remember to smile,
Just like all of your toys
Don't you ever feel kind of sad?
'Cause you're lonely
Think about the love that we had
Are you lonely?
Just like all of your toys
CHORUS
Ah...
Just like all of your toys, I don't wanna be
Just like all of your toys, I don't need to be
Just like all of your, just like all of your toys...
I should have known I'd be alone
No, no, no I don't need it
Oh, don't you have me believe it
Just like all of your toys

Top Monkees, RIU CHIU

Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera;
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera,
Dios guardo el lobo de neustra cordera.
El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender;
Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar,
Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.
Riu, riu chiu...
Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca,
Christo patriarca de carne vestido;
Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito,
Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hiziera.
Riu, riu chiu...
Translated:
River, roaring river, guard our homes in safety,
God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.
God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.
Raging mad to bite her, there the wolf did steal,
But our God Almighty defended her with zeal.
Pure He wished to keep Her so She could never sin,
That first sin of man never touched the Virgin sainted.
River, roaring river...
He who's now begotten is our mighty Monarch,
Christ, our Holy Father, in human flesh embodied.
He has brough atonement by being born so humble,
Though He is immortal, as mortal was created.
River, roaring river...

Let's run away from life together
Let me run away from life with you
Let's run away from life together
Leave behind the stormy weather
Let's find out what fantasy can do
Where we'll go to they can't touch us
Life is perfect nothing more to do
Nothing more than we'll be needin'
Life is paradise in Eden
Eatin' grapes and makin' love with you
Rest unchanging, no more fights
We won't ever even disagree
Let's go off into the heavens
In eternal happiness for free
Nothing's wrong, no strings attached
No reason to get crazy, never blue
Nothin' from your noisy neighbor,
Nothin's new, no trial, no labor
Cross the river Jordan, hallelue
Rest unchanging, no more fights
We won't ever even disagree
Let's go off into the heavens
In eternal happiness for free

Don't be cruel, don't be cruel
Give me just a little help
And to show how much I care
I bring you Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears
Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears

Top Monkees, I'll Be Back Up On My Feet

by Sandy Linzer & Denny Randell
Girl, I know the grass is greener just around the bend,
Gotta say goodbye, but don't you fear,
Though the road is broken, I might fail to find the end,
I won't disappear.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Looking high, I'm looking low,
When I find my boots I know I got to go.
Back up on my feet...ah, ah.
Maybe I will be a star, or maybe just a clown,
Girl, I'll never know until I try,
Maybe I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down,
But you won't have to cry.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back up on my feet,

Looking high, I'm looking low,
When I find my boots I know I got to go.

Top Monkees, I'll Be True to You

by Gerry Goffin & Russ Titleman
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,
And 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 having 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 fulfill,
I never promised this to anyone before,
But, I'll be true to you, yes I will.
I'll be true to you, yes I will,
Every dream that you have, I'll fulfill,
I never promised this to anyone before,
But, I'll be true to you, yes I will,
Yes, I will,

Top Monkees, Early Morning Blues and Greens

By Diane Hilderbrand and Jack Keller
A distant night bird mocks the sun.
I wake as I have always done,
To freshly scented sycamore
And cold bare feet on hardwood floor.
My steaming coffee warms ny face
I'm diappointed in the taste.
But there's a peace the early brings
The morning world of growing things.
[Instrumental]
I feel the moments hurry on
It was today, it's died away,
And now it is forever gone.
And I will drink my coffee slow
And I will watch my shadow grow
And disappear in firelight
And sleep alone again tonight.

Top Monkees, Every Step Of The Way

by Ian Hunter & Mark Clarke
I used to see you on the avenue,
You were the girl that let me follow you,
You used to hang out in the alleyway,
You sewed a button on my shirt one day.
I asked around until I found your name,
Then underneath the arches in the pouring rain,
I said, "You" (Yeah, you)
"I want you every step of the way."
I know that things are getting better,
I know it's gonna be okay,
So baby don't go, I ain't gonna let you,
I want to be with you every step of the way,
Every step of the way.
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna dance?
Take a chance, baby, take a chance,
I'll be with you every step of the way,
I'll even show you how to strut one day.
Ain't got a girl and it's a crying shame,
'Cause I can't figure out who's to blame,
I want you, (Yeah, you)
I want you every step of the way.
I know that things are getting better,
I know things will be okay,
So baby don't go, I ain't gonna let you,
I want to be with you every step of the way,
Yeah, every step of the way.

Love is understanding,
Don't you know that this is true.

It's in everything we do.

Top Monkees, Forget That Girl

By Douglas Farthing Hatlelid
Forget that girl,
She'll only make you sad someday.
Forget that girl,
She'll never make you happy.
Stay away from her, my friend,
Stay away from her.
Forget that girl,
She'll only bring you down again.
Forget that girl,
She'll only make you lonely.
Stay away from her, my friend,
Stay away from her.
There was a time when she could really love you
When she was thinking only of you
But now she's thrown herself above you
And there's nothing you can do.
Forget that girl,
Even tho you find it's hard.
Forget that girl,
Even though you love her.
She's in love with him, my friend,
She's in love with him.
Oh yeah, she's in love with him.......

Top Monkees, French Song

by Bill Chadwick
A little girl goes out walking in the night,
A little boy calls good evening from the light,
They stop to talk for just a while,
Then she's gone.
A little girl sits beside her window pane
Thinking about an evening in the rain,
A little talk, a little boy,
Then she's gone.
SOLO
A little girl goes out walking once again,
A little boy finds that he has done the same,
They stop to talk for just a while
Then they're gone,
Then they're gone,
Then they're gone.

You know my girl just called me up,
And she woke me from my sleep,

She used to bring me my, my newspaper,

She used to keep me so contented,
But, I can teach a dog to do that.

Top Monkees, Good Clean Fun

by Michael Nesmith
There's a smile on the wind as it touches my face
And starts to erase all the gloom,
And the sun, with a kiss, begins to dismiss
The memory of my life without you.
Well, it seems like yesterday that my path took me away,
Although I know it's been at least a year,
But now my path heads home and your patient time alone
Has brought me even closer to you, dear.
And this plane gets closer every minute I look down
To a watch that keeps looking back at me,
And it says to me, "Be patient, son, you've waited this long,"
But, how can I be strong?
And this plane gets closer every minute I look down
To a watch that keeps looking back at me,
And it says to me, "Be patient, son, you've waited this long,"
But, how can I be strong?
Well, the plane's finally down and the engines stop their sound,
I look in the crowd and there you stand,
And the gap that once was time, is forever closed behind,
'Cause, I told you I'd come back and here I am,
Yes, I told you I'd come back and here I am,

Top Monkees, HARD TO BELIEVE

written by David Jones, Kim Capli,& Eddie Brick
It's hard to believe that you could ever doubt me
I try not to hear the things you say about me
And if you feel like I feel, please, I'd like to explain
My love for you is more than just a game
I hope and I pray we'll get together someday
Then you'd see right away how hurt I am when I say
That if you feel what I feel, you won't go away
A broken heart can't be the only way
And if you feel what I feel, you won't go away
A broken heart, a broken heart, can't be the only way
Now you must believe that when I saw you today
Oh, I just couldn't say, you held his hand the same way
If you don't feel what I feel, I'll go on my way
But as I turn my heart still wants to say
I love you, I need you, I do love you

Top Monkees, Mommy and Daddy

by Micky Dolenz
Ask your mommy and daddy, "What happened to the Indian?,
"How come they're all living in places with too much snow and too much
sun?"
Tell your mommy, "I got a funny feeling deep inside of me,"
Ask your daddy, "Is it really as bad as people make it seem?"
Wok-taa-tick-a-taa-too-too,
Wok-taa-tick-a-taa-too-too,
Wok-taa-tick-a-taa-too-too,
Wok-taa-tick-a-taa-too-too,
Wok-taa-tick-a-taa.
Ask your mommy why everybody swallows all those little pills,
Ask your daddy, "Why doesn't that soldier care who he kills?"
After they've put you to sleep and tucked you safely down in your bed,
Whisper, "Mommy and Daddy would you rather that I learned it from my
friends instead?"
"Do you think I'm too young to know, to see, to feel, or hear?
"My questions need an answer or a vacuum will appear,"
Don't be surprised if they turn and walk away,
And tell your mommy and daddy that you love them anyway-way-way,
That you love, you love them anyway,
Aha, aha, love, love, love, love and kiss them, too,
Love will set you free,
Love, love, love, love the king,
The kings of EMI once told you, whoa, whoa,
Once told you, now am I....

Top Monkees, All The King's Horses

by Michael Nesmith
Now, all the king's horses and all the king's men,
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
I woke up this morning,
And this is what I found,
You had gone and left me,
And you never even made a farewell sound.
Now, all the king's horses and all the king's men,
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
I asked your friends about you,
And this is what they said,
"She can live without you,
She's going to find a man with money instead."
Now, all the king's horses and all the king's men,
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
Someday you will know,
The meaning of a love that's true,
But, when you find out,
I won't be around to share with you.
Now, all the king's horses and all the king's men, (Yeah, yeah-yeah)
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again, (No, no-no)
Now, all the king's horses and all the king's men, (Yeah, yeah-yeah)
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again,

Top Monkees, If I Learned To Play The Violin

by Joey Levine & Artie Resnick
If I learned to play the violin
And I traded my old guitar in,
Would your parents still object,
Or would I win their respect
If I learned to play the violin?
I would even go and cut my hair
Though my friends would point and say I'm square,
Girl, would your society
Still look down their nose at me
If I learned to play the violin?
I'd give up my beat-ways,
Take up more discreet ways,
All you've got to do is ask me to,
Whoa-oa, just ask me to
And I'd learn to play the violin,
Turn my back on everything I've been,
I'd be like somebody new,
But, not change my love for you
If I learned to play the violin.
SOLO
I'd give up my beat-ways,
Take up more discreet ways,
All you've got to do is ask me to,
Whoa-oa, just ask me to.
And I'd learn to play the violin,
Yes, I'd learn to play the violin,
And I'd learn to play the violin,
Yes, I'd learn to play the violin.

Top Monkees, War Games

by David Jones & Steve Pitts
Did you buy your tickets for the war game?
Aren't you glad that your sitting in the back?
For the game is deadly-heavy for the players,
Aren't you glad it's a spectator sport?
Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Can't you smell the fear?
It's all over.
If you want to play the game, you must have training,
Choose your side, pick your toy, but play to win,
Don't be sad if you lose, it isn't over,
Choose a side and begin the game again.
Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Can't you smell the fear?
It's all over.
Don't have to play the game if you don't want to,
You can sit at home and hear it on the news,
They will show you colored pictures of the killings,
They want you to feel that you're part of it, too.
Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Don't you smell the fear?
It's all over,

It breaks my heart to say ";Goodbye";
I know that I deserve to cry
I know that time will see me through
But in this mean time
All I dream about is you
Unlucky stars are in my sky
My fortune teller, she saw me and cried
She said that I might have to wait
My lucky ship is lost
And comin' in too late
Unlucky stars
Unlucky stars
Venus and Mars

If now it's time to let to
Give me some time to let you know
That I adored you till the end
I couldn't stand another day without a friend
I couldn't stand another day without a friend

Top Monkees, D.w. Washburn

D.W. Washburn, I heard a sweet voice say
D.W. Washburn, this is your lucky day
A hot bowl of soup is waitin'
A hot bowl of soup and a shave
D.W. Washburn, we picked you to say
Can't you hear the bugle call?
Can't you hear the bells?
Even you can be reborn, you naughty n'er do well
If you don't get out of that gutter
Before the next big rain
D.W. Washburn, you're gonna
Wash right down the drain
Up, up, come on get up, get up off your street
If you can only make it from your hands to your knees
I know you can make it to your feet
D.W. Washburn, I said to myself
D.W. Washburn, why don't you go
Save somebody else?
Well, I got no job to go to
I don't work and I don't get paid
I got a bottle of wine, I'm feelin' fine
And I believe I got it made
I'd like to thank all you good people
For comin' to my aid
But I'm D.W. Washburn
I do believe I got it made
I do believe I got it made
Don't need nobody
I do believe I got it made
I do believe I got it made
One more time

Top Monkees, Missing Links, Vol. 2

by Michael Nesmith
Slowly, I walk through the gently, falling rain,
And I know that I will never pass this way again,
Never wondering why,
Teardrops chafing my eyes.
Longing to be where the noted kisses fall,
Lingering and still, while quietly they tell their all,
Blue is the color of the sun,
And nothing stops when everything is done.
Now my whole world opens up in different rhymes and tunes,
With the highways making up the verse,
And then suddenly I see the light of something called the moon,
And though my path is planned, it's not rehearsed.
So I move along to the next thing on the list,
Knowing full well that some of them just don't exist,
But I am finally alone,
And where my foot steps down is where it's home.
Now my whole world opens up in different rhymes and tunes,
With the highways making up the verse,
And then suddenly I see the light of something called the moon,
And though my path is planned, it's not rehearsed.

Knowing full well that some of them just don't exist,
But I am finally alone,
And where my foot steps down is where it's home.

Top Monkees, The Monkees Present - Micky, David & Michael

by Unknown
The management at Colgems Records has asked me to explain something,
which is no big surprise, because people are always asking their kids to
explain everything.
(Listen To The Band excerpt)
They want to bring us out all the time, to get us to talk, to tell them
what we think, so they can tell us why we're wrong. But for us, our
music says it all.
Like the Monkees and their new album: The Monkees Present.
(Good Clean Fun excerpt)
Their music is like we are. It's hard to say why you like it, except the
music talks to you instead of expecting you to talk to it. Get The
Monkees
Present on Colgems, records and Stereo-8 cartridge tape. It's music that

Top Monkees, This Just Doesn't Seem to Be My Day

By Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
I guess I should have stayed in bed,
My pillow wrapped 'round my head.
Instead of waking up to find
A nightmare of a different kind.
She went away,
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
She didn't have to say a lot,
Her pretty eyes revealed the plot.
'Twas someone else she want more,
And so I walked her to the door.
What can I say?
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
My, oh my, how sad am I.
How I wish she would have stayed
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
My whole world is upside down,
She turned my smile into a frown.
It's such a pity the shape I'm in,
I must get on my feet again.
Can't stay this way
This just doesn't seem to be my day.

Top Monkees, Theme from The Monkees

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
Here we come,
Walking down the street,
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees,
And people say we monkey around,
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
We go wherever we want to,
Do what we like to do,
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees,
And people say we monkey around,
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
We're just trying to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young generation
And we've got something to say.
Oh...
Anytime,
Or anywhere,
Just look over your shoulder,
Guess who'll be standing there.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees,
And people say we monkey around,
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
SOLO

Top Monkees, The Poster

By David Jones and Steve Pitts
"The circus is coming to town." it said on the poster.
"Get your tickets now, before it's too late."
A dancing bear and a circus clown it's so funny.
I can't wait to see everything there.
I feel like I'm already there.
I must see her fly through the air.
Horse running 'round and 'round in a circle.
I can't wait to see everything there.
I wonder if it's just like they say on the poster.
If it is I know I will be there.
I feel like I'm already there.
I must see her fly through the air.
I feel like I'm already there.
I must see her fly through the air.

Top Monkees, WHAT AM I DOIN' HANGIN' ROUND?

Top Monkees, Anytime Anyplace Anywhere

CHORUS:
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere,I'll never forget what we shared.Comes a day there's a knock on my door,I hope that you'll be standing there.
I'll wonder what you'll say if we meetOn the street one day years from now.Maybe you'll need time to recall,Oh, but I won't need anytime at all.Now I guess we've come from circleCause we're parting as friends.
CHORUS
Love can make the tears in the rain,And the brightest flame can fade away.When you look into the eyes of a friend,There's a feeling in your heart that will never end.After all the songs I sang you,There's no doubt in my mind.
CHORUS
Another road's ahead of me, the night moves on.This heart never lies, these tears in my eyes say carry on.
CHORUS

Top Monkees, Admiral Mike

You're selling ads you slimy toad
Don't smile at me and shake my hand
You're killing me
You're killing us
Because you're only
'only selling ads'
You're selling ads you stupid twit
The naked lunch is on your knife
The homicides are suicides
Because you're only
'only selling ads'
Your copy kills
Your copy smells
Realities are crushed beneath the ads your copy sells
Go back to hell you giddy fools
There is no truth you cannot maim
He killed himself
You killed him first
Because you're only
'only selling ads'
Your copy kills
Your copy smells
Realities are crushed beneath the ads your copy sells
You're selling ads you slimy toad
Don't smile at me and shake my hand
You're killing me
You're killing us
Because you're only
'only selling ads'
Because you're only 'only selling ads'
Because you're only 'only selling ads'

Top Monkees, Hold on Girl

by Jack Keller, Ben Raleigh & Billy Carr
I know about the guy who treated you so bad,
He took your love and then just walked away,
I know that you have got a reason to be sad,
But, help is on its way.
(Hold on girl)
Be a little bit stronger,
(Hold on girl)
Wait a little bit longer,
(Hold on girl)
Help is on its way.
I know you feel as though your world is at an end,
But, you don't have to live with yesterday,
I promise you the sun is gonna shine again,
And help is on its way.

Now that we are together,
(Hold on girl)
Things are gonna be better,

Help is on its way.

Top Monkees, Heart And Soul

by Andrew Howell & Simon Byrne
Love in a vacuum, love in a space,
Love without even the little hint of a trace,
Love in confusion then love doesn't show on your face.
Love is a stranger, love is a box,
Love is the key that fits a million locks,
Love is a mystery when love is the devil you call.
Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine.
Love at a distance, love at a walk,
Love at the limit if only people could talk,
Love for the moment it takes to its wings like a hawk.
Love for tomorrow, love for today,
Love for the hour it could be coming your way,
Love for a puzzle you need a solution to play.
Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine.
SOLO
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,

Top Monkees, I WANNA BE FREE

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me,
Like the waves out on the blue sea,
If your love has to tie me,
Don't try me, say good-bye.
I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me, say you like me
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me,
Confide in me, whoa-oh-oh.
I wanna hold your hand,
Walk along the sand,
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun.
Doing all those things
Without any strings to tie me down.
I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe,
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I've gotta say...
I wanna be free,
I wanna be free,

Top Monkees, I Never Thought It Peculiar

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
I never thought it peculiar
That you never gave me a smile,
I wasn't socially suited
To make it worth your while.
Oh, no, and I never thought it peculiar
That my heart always beat like a drum
Each time I would see you walk by me,
You were as pretty as they come.
So I sent some flowers to your doorstep,
And wrote on the card: "I love you."
I don't know why,
But, I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me, too.
So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time,
And I don't think it's terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine.

Time And Time Again
by David Jones & Bill Chadwick
Time and time again,
Naughty girls get me in trouble,
When I fly too high,
Something's bound to burst the bubble.
You say this is love,
Wonder if you're feeling lonely,
Tell me, if you please,
Is this for this evening, only?
Or will it be for a long, long time?
Or just a passing fancy?
Will it be for a long, long time?
I feel as though it can be.
I'll just wait and see,
What tomorrow has to bring me,
A love that is oh-so true,
Or another girl that's free and easy.
SOLO

Top Monkees, I'll Be Back Upon My Feet

By Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell
Girl, I know the grass is greener, just around the bend.
Gotta say, ";Goodbye!"; but dont' you fear.
Though the road is dark and I might fail to find the end
I won't disappear.
I'll be back upon my feet. I'll be back upon my feet.
Chase the morning sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back upon my feet. I'll be back upon my feet.
Lookin' high, I'm lookin' low.
When I find my boots I know I gotta go.
Maybe I will be a star, or maybe just a clown.
Girl, I'll never know until I try.
Maybe I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down.
But you don't have to cry.
I'll be back upon my feet. I'll be back upon my feet.
Chase the morning sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back upon my feet. I'll be back upon my feet.
Lookin' high, I'm lookin' low.
When I find my boots I know I've gotta go.
[Instrumental]

Top Monkees, I WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King
Life is hard for me to touch now,
I just don't enjoy it as much now,
When she left, something inside of me died,
And I won't be the same without her,
No, I won't be the same without her by my side.
There's no end to my sorrow,
I'm afraid to face tomorrow,
When she left, she took much more than my pride,
And I won't be the same without her,
No, I won't be the same without her by my side.
It isn't easy to forget her and the way it used to be,
She changed my life the day I met her,
And I won't be the same without her,
No, I won't be the same without her close to me.
Life is hard for me to touch now,
I just don't enjoy it as much now,
When she left, something inside of me died,
And I won't be the same without her,

Top Monkees, I Can't Get Her Off My Mind

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
I've been standing on the corner all day,
Trying to think of little things to say,
'Cause she walks by every day about this time,
And I can't, I can't get her off of my mind.
I only met her about a week ago,
But, the way she smiled let me know
She could see that maybe we were two-of-a-kind,
And I can't, I can't get her off of my mind.
She's so pretty,
I couldn't believe she'd ever look-a my way,
Ah, but the way I'm feeling,
I'm gonna be stealing that little girl's heart today.
I'm so happy I could almost fly,
And I guess you know the reason why,
I'm walking down the street with her little hand in mine,
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind.

Top Monkees, I Believe You

Lead Vocal: Peter Tork
I believe you (4x)
I believe you on a sunny day
I believe you chase the clouds away
I believe you
I believe you on a rainy night
I believe you put the moon to flight
I believe you
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
I believe you
I believe your body

Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
I believe you
The engines of your love
Achieve escape velocity
I'm catapulted into space
for moments I am free
Then a trap door drops;
I'm plummeted
Into quicksands of despair
I'm consumed by flames of agony
Till you tell me that you care
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
And I believe you
I believe you
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
I believe you
I believe you
What else can I do?
I believe you
I believe you
What else can I do?
What else can I do?

Top Monkees, I Don't Think You Know Me

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King
If you think I want the life you choose to live,
I don't think I want the love you've got to give,
If you think my goals could be so trivial and small,
Well, I don't think you know me at all.
Born between the covers of your fashion books,
You think you can make it, girl, on just your looks,
You could never bring me up, between us stands a wall,
No, I don't think you know me at all.
SOLO
Believing in the promise painted in your smile,
I've chased what I was running from, girl, all the while,
I've known you a hundred times in memories I recall,
Still/But, I don't think you know me at all,

Top Macc Lads, Monkees

Here we come, Muttley, Beater, Stez Styx
We drink Boddington's bitter, and we smoke No6
Eh up! We're the Macc Lads, we're not fucking queer
We like pulling fit crack and supping lots of beer
Here we come, three fucking good friends, if you say owt
against us,
We'll kick your fucking bell end
We like chips n gravy, nowt'll take its place
Don't you fuck with the Macc Lads
Or we'll arrange your fucking face
Here we come, feeling fucking sore
Got us money last friday and pissed it up the wall
Eh up! We're the Macc Lads, we go down the pub

Top Monkees, Goin' Down

Top Monkees, Tapioca Tundra

by Michael Nesmith
Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues.
It cannot be a part of me,
For now it's part of you.
Careful plays on fields
That seems to vanish when they're in between
And softly as I walk away
In freshly tattered shoe.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you.
Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease.
Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you.
Well, Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease.
[Instrumental]

Top Monkees, Tear Drop City

About as low as I felt in a long time
And I know that I did a wrong at the wrong time
It's plain to see, she's down on me
And I know she'll feel that way for a long time
I was high on top but I didn't know it
(Tear drop city)
Tell me, why did I have to go and blow it?
(Tear drop city)
I used my lines too many times
And now I've got a badly hurt heart to show it
(Tear drop city)
Took me too long to discover
How much I really love her
How'd I ever end up in this bind?
What a drag
There she goes looking for pretty clover
(Tear drop city)
No one knows what it's like 'til it over
(Tear drop city)
Without a doubt, I just found out
And I suppose, I never did get to know her
(Tear drop city)
Tear drop city, tear drop city
Took me to long to discover
How much I really love her
How'd I ever end up in this bind
What a drag
About as low as I felt in a long time
(Tear drop city)
About as low as I felt in a long time
(Tear drop city)
I'm about as low as I felt in a long time
(I'm about as low)

Top Monkees, Teeny Tiny Gnome

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.
Kicking stones on an old, dirt road,
Feeling dear-dejected and all alone,
When I looked up ahead and thought my mind, I'd blown,
On a giant toadstool sat a teeny, tiny gnome.
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.
He was all involved in a game of solitaire,
Said hello with a smile, just like I wasn't there,
I kicked the dirt some more, he said, "Please don't start a fight,"
Found a church-key in his pocket, he opened up his pipe.
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.
He blew some silver circles,
Wound his fingers in his beard,
And from that pipe came magic music
Like I'd never heard.
SOLO
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.
As the notes came floating in, I picked up both my ears,
I walked into a drive-in, hadn't felt so starved in years,
A rabbit waiter took the order and quickly disappeared,
He said "The party's over, please come back in a thousand years."
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,

Top Monkees, Tell Me Love

by Jeff Barry
Oh, tell me, love and tell me truly,
Do you believe this is forever?
Well, I'll tell you, love, that I believe you,
Oh, when you tell me that you will leave me never.
Oh, tell me, love, are my words a waste?
Tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you.
And tell me, love, do you know you amaze me?
You keep changing for the better with every passing day,
Well, I'll tell you, love, sometimes it kind of scares me,
I've got to keep on getting to you so you don't get away.
Oh, tell me, love, are my words a waste?
And tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you.
So, tell me, love,
Please, tell me, love,

Do You Feel It Too?

I'm like a toy balloon and someone cruel has cut the string,

Got the ball, we mustn't drop it,
Girl, there ain't a thing can stop it now.

Top Monkees, The Day We Fall in Love

by Sandy Linzer & Denny Randell
There'll be birds singing everywhere,
And the wind will be blowing through your hair,
I'll look into your eyes and wait for the prize,
Your lips kissing mine with a love that is real,
And you'll look so young and fair,
On the day we fall in love, you and me,
On the day we fall in love, you'll see.
There'll be rainbows reaching across the sky,
And we'll both be so happy we'll cry,
We'll walk hand in hand in snow or in sand,
Whether roses are blooming or snowmen stand by,
Time will stop for you and I,
On the day we fall in love,
It will be on the day we fall in love, you'll see.
And if the lines that I say fall apart,
It's because I won't know where to start,
But, you'll undersand when I say them to you,
'Cause they'll come straight from my heart,
On the day we fall in love, you and me,
On the day we fall in love, you'll see,
You'll see,

Top Monkees, The Door Into Summer

With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left King Midas there, as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more
CHORUS:
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer
Well, it's travel onto ";maybe next year"; 's places
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
And he pays for every year he cannot buy back with his tears
As he finds out there's been no one keeping score
CHORUS...

Top Monkees, THE GIRL I KNEW SOMEWHERE

by Michael Nesmith
You tell me that you've never been this way before,
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere.
You're standing in the places,
And you're staring down through faces
That bring to mind traces of a girl,
A girl that I knew somewhere.
I just can't put my finger on what it is,
That says to me watch out don't believe her.
I can't give any reasons, girl,
My thoughts are bound down in a whirl,
I just can't think who in the world was that girl,
I know I met her somewhere.
Someway, somehow,
The same thing was done,
Someone, somewhere,
Did me the same wrong.
SOLO
So goodbye, dear, I just can't take this chance again,
My fingers are still burning from the last time.
And if your love was not a game,
I only have myself to blame,
That's as may be, I can't explain,
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere.
And if your love was not a game,
I only have myself to blame,
That's as may be, I can't explain,

Top Monkees, The Girl I Left Behind Me

Its old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldn't wait and hang around
You always said must be free
But you couldn't see you were loosing me
And messing up the one good thing we had
CHORUS:
And now I'm going out the way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I wont be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
I told myself that things would be ok
You would come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
CHORUS
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
CHORUS
Behind me...

Top Monkees, The Kind of Girl I Could Love

by Michael Nesmith & Roger Atkins
Girl, you look mighty good to me,
And I know that you got to be,
The kind of girl I could love.
You got the sweetest pair of eyes,
And your kiss would be paradise,
The kind of girl I could love.
You do something to my soul
That no one's ever done,
If you're looking for true love,
Then let me be the one.
Oh, girl, deep in my soul I'm sure,
And my heart has no doubt that you're
The kind of girl I could love.
SOLO
Hey, girl, you look mighty good to me,
And I know that you got to be,
The kind of girl I could love.
The kind of girl I could love,
The kind of girl I could love,
The kind of girl I could love.

Top Monkees, Don¡¯t Listen To Linda

By Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
Don¡¯t listen to Linda
She said all those things before
She¡¯s just a pretender,
And though you couldn¡¯t love her more
She¡¯ll lead you on, and then one day
She¡¯ll say you¡¯ll have to part
Don¡¯t listen to Linda
She¡¯ll only break your heart.
Don¡¯t listen to Linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, she¡¯ll do it twice
There¡¯s more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Don¡¯t listen to Linda,
Or you¡¯ll end up like me.
You¡¯ll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, don¡¯t underestimate her,
¡®cause sooner or later,
The goings gonna start to get rough.
Don¡¯t listen to Linda,
Don¡¯t believe the things you hear.
You¡¯ll end up, contender,
For the ¡°Loser Of The Year¡±.
I¡¯ve said everything I can
To try and make you see
Don¡¯t listen to Linda,
Or you¡¯ll end up like me.

Top Monkees, I'll be True to You (Yes, I Will)

By Gerry Goffin and Russ Titelman
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.
And I'll be true to you, yes I will.
I used to be the kind,
Who said that ev'ry girl's the say
And love was just a game for having 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.
Ev'ry dream that you have, I'll fulfill.
I never promised this to anyone before
But I'll be true to you, yes I will.
Yes, I'll be true to you, yes I will.

Top Monkees, I'll Spend My Life with You

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
People come and people go,
Moving fast and moving slow,
I'm in a crowd and yet I'm all alone.
The road is long, the road is rough,
I do believe I've had enough,
I'm gonna turn around and head for home.
And I hope you're there,
And you still care,
And, if you do,
I'll spend my life with you.
I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday.
I played a game that couldn't last,
And now some memories from my past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way.
And, girl, I find,
You're still on my mind,
And, if you want me to,
I'll spend my life with you.
SOLO
And, girl, I find,
You're still on my mind,
And, if you want me to,

Top Monkees, Instant Replay

by Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart & Red Baldwin
(1-2-3...)
You call my name, then you run for protection,
I reach out to hold you but it's just your reflection,
Through the looking glass.
You've been looking at your life through a mirror,
It's time you started seeing things a little bit clearer
Than through the looking glass.
Let me break through, girl,
I still love you, girl.
I think you love me by the way you come on, girl,
Then I turn around for a minute, you're gone, girl,
Through the looking glass.
Ah, I've got some things that I'm trying to show you,
But you fade away, how can I get to know you,
Through the looking glass.
You're looking through me,
Like you never knew me.
Ah, you call my name, then you run for protection,
I reach out to hold you but it's just your reflection,
Through the looking glass.
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh,
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh.

Top Monkees, Missing Links

Top Monkees, Rany Scouse Git

By Micky Dolenz
She's a wonderful lady
And she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way
That she won't come and lose my mind.
It's too easy humming songs
To a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess.
The four kings of E.M.I.
Are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
And a valet at the door.
He reminds me of a penguin
With few and plastered hair,
There's talcum powder on the letter
And the birthday boy is there.
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That I shortly have to leave.
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.
[Progressive scat vocals]
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

Top Monkees, Headquarters [Deluxe Edition]

Girl, this is goodbye for us
I'm afraid there's no two ways about it
Now you say you need my love
But you'll just have to learn to live without it
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes love
It never goes the way you planned it
When you meant the world to me
That's the time you said you didn't want me
You played around in front of me
Yeah, you did everything you could to taunt me
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes love
And when it dies you can't disguise it
It's been said you've made your bed
And now you have to lie in it
There's no denying it's a shame
But there's a really no one else for you to blame
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes love
It never goes the way you planned it

Top Monkees, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.

She looked at me
And the emptiness in her eyes
Was cruel to see
Then she turned away and said
"Once I loved, but love is dead"
And I whispered
"Sometimes love is only sleeping"
She said, "I cannot cry
And I cannot give or feel
Or even try"
And her voice was hard and cold
Then her sweet young face looked old
And I whispered
"Sometimes love is only sleeping"
Through the endless days and nights
She could not help but wrap herself in sorrow, sorrow
Through the endless days and nights
We waited for a shiny new tomorrow, tomorrow
Love was sleeping, sleeping
(Sleeping, sleeping)
She looked at me
And her smiling tears feel warm
And sweet and free
And the moonlight kissed her eyes
As it mingled with our sighs
And she whispered
"Sometimes love is only sleeping"
And she whispered
"Sometimes love is only sleeping"
Only sleeping, only sleeping
Only sleeping, only sleeping
(Sleeping)
Only sleeping

Top Monkees, The Birds, the Bees, & the Monkees

I set the world back on its heel
I'm gonna show you how I feel
Free as a bird up in the sky
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try
Now I am chasing rainbows
But I won't let that girl know
'Til I have found my pot of gold
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try
And when I feel like turning back, coming home
What could I say without the rainbow and the pot of gold?
Chasing a dream around the sun
I feel my life has just begun
And if I lose my way I know
I've always got someplace to go
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try
And when I feel like turning back, coming home
What could I say without the rainbow and the pot of gold?
Now I set the world back on its heel
I'm gonna show you how I feel
Free as the bird up in the sky
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try...

Top Monkees, If I Knew

by David Jones & Bill Chadwick
If I knew what was bothering you,
I would run to your side,
I don't know why,
I would just die if you left me.
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
Are you playing a game?
It's always the same,
Am I to blame or is anyone?
I don't want to settle down
With any other girl but you,
So I'm just gonna wait around
Till you decide what you're gonna do.
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
Are you playing a game?
It's always the same,
Am I to blame or is anyone?
I don't want to settle down
With any other girl but you,
So I'm just gonna wait around

Top Monkees, If You Have The Time

by David Jones & Bill Chadwick
If you have the time, would you keep me in mind?
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind,
If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone
And dial the number that you know will bring back the glow
That's been gone for such a long, long time?
I feel like I'm just acting like a fool,
Talking to my pillow,
Once a happy fellow, was I,
I know that I'll get over you if I have to,
But do I have to?
I don't want to spend another day
Being so far away from the girl that I love. (Love, love, love)

Top Monkees, I'm A Believer

By Neil Diamond
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Top Monkees, If I Ever Get To Saginaw Again

If I ever get to Saginaw again,
A locale that's somewhat off the beaten track.
Get to see the girl I never saw again
Who must know why I have never ventured back.
We we young,
And so alive
And now I wonder if she'd cling to me,
Become my very own as she did then,
If I ever get to Saginaw again.
If I ever get to Saginaw again,
It won't be in Spring with meadows turning green.
It won't be to tangle with the law again.
And it won't be with someone one only seventeen,
Who gave her love,
And made me hers.
And when you find the one you're dreaming of
Who thinks to ask, "How old is love?",
Not "when"
You may never get to Saginaw again.
If I ever get to Saginaw again
I will get to see son who bears my name.
And perhaps I'll quietly withdraw again
When I see the little man that he became.
And how I yearn
To watch him grow.
A father's love is maybe all it takes
To not repeat those sad mistakes of men

Top Monkees, Through The Looking Glass

Top Monkees, Kicks

Well you thought you found your answer
on that magic carpet ride last night
When you wake up in the morning
the world still gets you uptight
There's nothing that you ain't tried
to fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down girl,
you still ain't feeling right
You think you're going to find yourself
a little bit of paradise
Well it ain't happened yet
so girl you better think twice
Can't you see no matter what you do,
you'll never run away from you
And if you keep on running,
you'll still have the pay the price
Don't you know that
kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks
ain't bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late girl,
you better get straight
Nobody told me (kicks)
No, you don't need to help
You face the world each day
That road goes nowhere

Top Monkees, Look Down

by Carole King & Toni Stern
I'm holding my hand out, keeping my head high,
Trying to get out of mechanical nights,
When I get to the top of the clear, crystal mountain,
I'm going to stay up there as long as I can.
And look down,
Dig in the sights all around,
Listen to all of the sounds and look down,
And look down and look in.
And my mind sends me reeling, breathing and feeling,
I remember the time when I tried to come clean,
But my interests collided, besides I was misguided,
And who do you confide in when you trip on a dream?
And look down,
Dig in the sights all around,
Listen to all of the sounds and look down,
And look down and look in.
If you want to come with me and tell me what you see,
Just step in beside me and do what you want,
And you may see clearly, though it sometimes is lonely,
To be free is the only possession that counts.
I'm holding my hand out, I'm keeping my head high,
Trying to get out of mechanical nights,
When I get to the top of the clear, crystal mountain,
I'm going to stay up there as long as I can.
Dig in the sights all around,
Listen to all of the sounds and look down,
And look down,
And look down,
And look down,
Look down,
Look down,
Look down,

Top Monkees, Ladies Aid Society

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
In every little town and village, too,
Somewhere in the neighborhood,
You'll find a little band of ladies who
Can't stop doing good.
Good, for the pigeons in the park,
Good, for their weekly tea,
Good, for the National Bank
Where they keep their treasury.
We're the "Ladies Aid Society"
And we're really a great bunch of girls,
We're the "Ladies Aid Society"
And soon we'll take over the world.
Here they come, marching down the street,
With their picket signs in hand,
With their blue and white pleated uniforms,
And their all-girl five-piece band.
Down with long-haired singing groups,
Down with the mayor, too,
And if you're under sixty-five,
They're down on you.
We're the "Ladies Aid Society"
And we just want to sell you the truth,
We're the "Ladies Aid Society"
And it's time we clamp down on the youth.
We're the "Ladies Aid Society"
And we're really a great bunch of girls,
We're the "Ladies Aid Society"
And soon we'll take over the world.
We're the "Ladies Aid Society"
And we just want to sell you the truth,
We're the "Ladies Aid Society"
And it's time we clamp down on the youth.

Top Monkees, Merry Go Round

by Peter Tork & Diane Hilderbrand
A lone carnival voice
Sings tunes of nobody's choice,
And on a vacant lot,
Some one just forgot,
Standing all alone,
Turning on its own.
Weary, merry go round,
Grows slowly into the ground,
And faded circus acts,
Sorrow broke their backs,
And their sadness cries
From their staring eyes.
Still small children come
And bring your harm of play,
Spirits all alive
To drive the ghosts away.
Useless merry go round,
Tomorrow they'll tear you down,
To build the parking lot
If it lives or not,
It was just a toy,

Top Monkees, Penny Music

by Michael Leonard, Bobby Weinstein & Jon Stroll
Throw a penny from the window, watch an old man play a song
On a twenty-dollar violin he bought before the war,
Though he screeches and he scratches and the notes are always wrong,
But he plays like he's in concert on the street outside my door.
Tunes to suit your fancy,
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a penny,
(Play them penny music, play them for a penny)
And not a penny less.
He's the local virtuoso, it's his only way of life,
Plays ninety-seven overtures and goes home to his wife,
In the quiet of the evening while his frozen fingers bleed,
He counts pennies on a blanket to supply his meager need.
Tunes to suit your fancy,
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a penny,
(Play them penny music, play them for a penny)
And not a penny less.
When there's frost upon the pumpkin in the weakness of the sun,
People stand there in the cold until his symphony is done,
In the early gray of morning, he's sure to come around,
You can hear him through the window when the pennies hit the ground.
Tunes to suit your fancy,
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a penny,
(Play them penny music, play them for a penny)
And not a penny less.
They're playing penny music,
Playing penny music,
They're playing penny music,
Playing penny music,
Playing penny music.

Top Monkees, She'll Be There

by Unknown
When your dreams have died around you,
She'll be there,
When you need a hand to guide you,
She'll be there,
And when you feel rejected,
'Cause life is not what you expected,
I know that she'll be there.
If I hadn't lied and cheated,
She'd be here,
If she wasn't so mistreated,
She'd be here,
And if you don't abuse her,
I know you'll never, ever lose her,
And she will always be there.
I was too late to discover
How much I really did love her
But now her place is with you
And I must face it, it's over, we're through.
She'll be there,
She'll be there.
And if you don't abuse her,
I know you'll never, ever lose her,
And she will always be there.
She'll be there,
She'll be there,

Top Monkees, Propinquity (i've Just Begun To Care)

by Michael Nesmith
I've known for a long time, the kind of girl you are,
Of the smile that covers teardrops the way your head yields to your
heart,
Of things you've kept inside that most girls couldn't bear,
I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care.
I've known of all the heartache and I've known of all the pain,
'Cause I've seen you when the sun shines and I've seen you when it
rains,
I've seen you make a look of love from just an icy stare,
I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care.
I know I've been blind
To not have loved you all this time,
But the image of you wasn't clear,
I guess that I've been standing too near.
Oh, it's taken me a while, but I have finally found
What you are to me and that's what really counts,
And what you are to me is something we can share,
I've known you for a long time but I've just begun to care.

Top Monkees, You Told Me

by Michael Nesmith
You told me you'd always stay, you told me.
You told me you'd never stray, you told me.
All these things you said you said sincerely;
Still, I am leaving you in spite of what you told me.
I've heard things that did not match what you told me,
And of your love that would not last as you told me.
Forewarned is forearmed, it hurts, I'm leaving;
I may be wrong, I can't love what I'm just hearing.
Times have made me shy
Of all the things you're saying.
Times have made me shy
Of girls and all the games that they are playing.
Someday, I may see the truth of what you told me.
I may find I left too soon and that you told me
Only things that you were honestly feeling,
But I must have more to love than what you told me
(I must have more to love than what you told me)
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me
(I must have more to love than what you told me)

Top Monkees, You Just May Be the One

by Michael Nesmith
All men must have someone,
Have someone who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun,
Someone to understand them, and you just may be the one.
All men must have someone,
Have someone who would never take for granted
All the pleasures and the fun,
Someone to stand beside them, and you just may be the one.
I saw when you walked by
The love-light in your eyes,
I knew I must try
To win you more than as a friend,
I'm starting near the end,
And here I go again.
All men must have someone,
Have someone who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun,
Someone to stand beside them, and you just may be the one.

Top Monkees, Your Auntie Grizelda

By Diane Hilderbrand and Jack Keller
She knows her mind all right, your Auntie Grizelda,
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so.
Oh, yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda,
You only know the things she wants you to know.
I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.
You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda,
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free.
So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda,
So proper judging others over her tea.
You look just like her you do,
I know by looking at you,
That you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda.
[ad lib]
Oh, no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda
It takes much more to be someone of your own.
You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda
Or just like her you'll have to make it alone.
I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.

If you were an apple,
I would take a bite,
If you were a lemon,

You're so good, I've got to have you,
You're so good that nothing else matters,
You're so good, you're so good,
You're so good for me.
If you were a penny,
You'd be good as good,
Now, if you were a snowball,
I would love the cold.

You're so good, you're so good, you're so good,
You're so good for me.

Top Monkees, Zor and Zam

By Bill Chadwick and John Chadwick
The king of Zor, he called for war
And the king of Zam, he answered.
They fashioned their weapons one upon one
Ton upon ton, they called for war at the rise of the sun.
Out went the call to one and to all
That echoed and rolled like the thunder.
Trumpets and drums, roar upon roar
More upon more.
Rolling the call of ";Come now to war.";
Throughout the night they fashioned their might
With right on the side of the mighty.
They puzzled their minds plan upon plan
Man upon man
And at dying of dawn the great war began.
They met on the battlefield banner in hand.
They looked out across the vacant land.
And they counted the missing, one upon one,
None upon none.
The war it was over before it begun.
Two little kings playing a game.
They gave a war and nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.

Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

Top Monkees, Laugh

by Hank Medress, Phil Margo, Mitchell Margo & Jay Siegel
Every face that I see
Is all wrapped up in frowns,
And, unfortunately,
It kind of gets me down.
Laugh, 'cause the music is funny,
Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat, ain't that neat,
Laugh, when you lose all your money,
Or you can't find your shoes to cover your feet.
It's not so hard to see
Exactly what I'm after,
Sometimes a tear should fall,
But, I require giggles and chuckles. (Ho-ho-ho)
Laugh, when you're keeping a secret,
And it seems to be known by the rest of the world,
Laugh, when you go to a party,
And you can't tell the boys from the girls.
Every face that I see
Is all wrapped up in frowns,
And, unfortunately,
It kind of gets me down.
Yay-yay-yay, laugh, at the things that are wrong,
If you thinks it's this song, then laugh,
Then laugh,
Then laugh.

Words and Music by

Take the last train to Clarksville,
And I'll meet you at the station.
You can be be there by four thirty,
'Cause I made your reservation.
Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together

And a bit of conversation.

Now I must hang up the phone.
I can't hear you in this noisy
Railroad station all alone.

And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.
Take the last train to Clarksville,
Take the last train to Clarksville,

Top Monkees, Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow

by Neil Diamond
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
That's when I'll have to choose.
How I wish I could borrow,
Someone else's shoes.
Mary, oh what a sweet girl,
Lips like strawberry pie.
Sandra, the long hair and pig tails,
Can't make up my mind.
I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come
Told them both that I loved them,
Said it, and it was true.
But I can't have both of them
Don't know what to do.
I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come
[Instrumental]
I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

Top Monkees, Long way home

by Bobby Hart & Dick Eastman
The other night I took the long way home,
Out past the old schoolyard,
It's funny how you keep it all inside,
Dreams they do die hard.
I closed my eyes and I could see your face
Somewhere back in time,
One summer night a million miles ago,
Back when you were mine.
Say yes, say no,
Say that I'm grabbing at shadows,
But, don't carve the words in stone,
I know it's late,
But, can't you see I was only
Taking the long way home?
Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up
In trying to be free,
And all those dreams I sailed away to find,
Were right in front of me.
Say yes, say no,
Say that I'm grabbing at shadows,
But, don't carve the words in stone,
One of these days,
You're going to see I was only
Taking the long way home.
Although the letters stopped many years ago,
I'll show you even time could not keep this heart from letting go.
The other night I took the long way home,

Top Monkees, Long Title: Do I Have to Do This All Over Again?

Do I have to do this all over again?
Didn't I do it right the first time?
Do I have to do this all over again?
How many times do I have to make this climb?
Didn't I? Didn't I?
Can I see my way to know what's really real
They say time can fix things by itself
I know life's more than just some kind of deal
Won't you tell me what all, when my soul comes off the shelf
Didn't I, oh, didn't I?
Do I have to do this all over again?
Didn't I do it right the first time?
Do I have to do this all over again?
How many times do I have to make this climb?
Didn't I?...

Top Monkees, Little Girl

by Micky Dolenz
Little girl is smart as she can be, ho,
Little girl has made a fool of me, ho,
I believed her when she said she really loved me,
The love was shining in my eyes,
So I couldn't see the lies in her eyes.
Little girl knows more than she pretends,
She knew I wanted to be more than friends,
Every time she hurt me, oh, how sorry she was,
Yesterday she went too far
And now I'm through because I'm wise to all those lies.
Friends said, "Don't worry now, she's sweet and she's kind,"
"Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel all the time,"
The little things that bothered me, I let them go by
And now it's too late to cry.
Little girl, it's time that we should part,
'Cause little girl, now you've broke my heart,
I couldn't help but hear what they had said about you,
Now I'm ashamed to tell them that I fell in love you,
They'd laugh at me, please set me free.
Friends said, "Don't worry now, she's sweet and she's kind,"
"Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel all the time,"
The little things that bothered me, I let them go by
And now it's too late to cry.
Little girl, now I'm through with you,
'Cause you've got everything you wanted to,
Despite all those things that they said you had done,
You had me believing, now, that I was the one
In your dreams instead of your schemes.
Ah, little girl, whoa-whoa,
Little girl, whoa-whoa,
Little girl, whoa-whoa.

Top Monkees, Lady's Baby

by Peter Tork
Lady's baby smiles and coos,
Takes away my lonely blues,
Baby's mother cooks my meal,
Warm and cool is really real.
Running never was much fun,
All it did was bring me down,
Chasing 'round isn't where it's at,
Tension puts you in the ground.
Lady's baby pulls my hair,
Let's me know he's really there,
Baby's mother touches me,
And at last I really see.
Running never was much fun,
All it did was bring me down,
Chasing 'round isn't where it's at,
Tension puts you in the ground.
Lady's baby lets me know,
Life was meant for moving slow,
Baby's mother knows this, too,

Top Monkees, Lady's Aid Society

In every little town and village too
Somewhere in the neighborhood
You'll find a little band of ladies who
Can't stop doing good
Good for the pigeons in the park
Good for the weekly tea
Good for the national bank where they keep their treasury
We're the ladies aid society
And we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid society
And soon we'll take over the world
Here they come marching down the street
Witgh their picket signs in hand
With their blue and white pleated uniforms
And their all girl five-piece band
Down with long haired singing groups
Down with the mayor too
And if you;re under 65 they're down on you
We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
Were the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth
We're the ladies aid society
and we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid soicety
And soon we'll take over the world
We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
Were the ladies aid society

[Mike spits out his soda. Micky and Chip begin giggling]
Mike: Thank you very much.thank you very much Lloyd. Lloyd and Clyde.
Micky: Let's go, huh?
Mike: Glad to be here, Dick.
Micky: I'm just so jealous, I could squish grapes.
Chip:...okay.

I'm a man
You're not a queen, you're just a woman
So hold my hand
We'll make a space in the lives
We both had planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're different, worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played at the start
As in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
So here you'll stay until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how of me
Don't ask forever of me
Love me now
This love of mine had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak, now I'm a willow
And I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Still, I will stay until it's time for you to go

Top Monkees, Live 1967

Hey, I got a girl at the head of the creek
And I'm goin' up to see her 'bout two times a week
Kiss her on the mouth, sweet as any wine
Wrap herself around me like a sweet potato vine
I'm goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' on a run
Goin' up Cripple Creek to have a little fun
Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' in a whirl
Goin' up Cripple Creek to see my little girl
Now the girl's up at Cripple Creek about half-grown
Jump on a boy like a dog on a bone
Roll my britches up to my knees
Wade ol' Cripple Creek whenever I please
I'm goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' on a run
Goin' up Cripple Creek to have a little fun
Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' in a whirl
Goin' up Cripple Creek to see my little girl
Now, Cripple Creek's wide and the Cripple Creek's deep
Wade old Cripple Creek 'fore I sleep
Hills are steep and the roads are muddy
And I'm so dizzy that I can't stand steady
I'm goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' on a run
Goin' up Cripple Creek to have a little fun
Goin' up Cripple Creek, goin' in a whirl
Goin' up Cripple Creek to see my girl

Top Monkees, Smile

by David Jones
I wake to the sun shining,
Orange and blue skies
Oh, what a feeling deep inside,
It's so hard for me to hide.
You cannot imagine
A feeling so different,
You've come so far, you're at my door,
You're knocking at my door.
Won't you come inside and talk awhile?
What I have to say may make you smile,
Smile, smile, smile.

Oh, what a feeling deep inside,

Top Monkees, Someday Man

by Roger Nichols & Paul Williams
Some people always complain,
That their life is too short, so they hurry it along,
Their worries drive them insane,
But they still go along for the ride,
As for me, I have all the time in the world.
I was born a someday man,
I'm a maybe child,
I was born a someday man,
I was always wild.
Tomorrow's a new day, baby,
Anything can happen,
Anything can happen at all.
Some folks are working for reasons
And waiting for answers they're never gonna find,
They keep on searching for pleasures
And looking so hard they can't see,
But for me, life can be a sweet holiday.
I was born a someday man,
I'm a maybe child,
I was born a someday man,
I was always wild.
Tomorrow's a new day, baby,
Anything can happen,
Anything can happen at all.
I was born a someday man,
I'm a maybe child,
I was born a someday man,
I was always wild.
I was born a someday man,
I'm a maybe child,
I was born a someday man,
I was always wild.

Top Monkees, The Good Earth

by Unknown
When I was a child and the road was dark
And the way was long and alone,
My heart would lift as I turned the bend
And saw the lights of home.
Now, high above in a silent sky,
In a still and starry space,
A man looks down on the Earth below,
And that blue and green and shining glow,
To him, is the lights of home.
It's the good earth, yes, the good earth,
It's a land of sun and rain and snow
And mulberry trees and mistletoe,
And burning plains and raging seas
And Sunday morning, taking your ease,
Watching your children grow.
It's the good earth, yes, the good earth,
Where we fought and loved and killed and died
And ruined and ravished the countryside,
But, now, from a million miles away,
From another world that's cold and gray,
Someone is able to look and say:
"That's the good Earth."
So, isn't it time we stopped the tears?
We've lived together for thousands of years,
And whether I'm wrong and whether you're right,
Whether you're black and whether I'm white,
One day we'll stand on the edge of the world
And someone will ask us the land of our birth,
And we'll look into his eyes and quietly say:
"It's the good Earth, yes, the good Earth,"

Top Monkees, We Were Made for Each Other

By Carole Bayer and George Fischoff
I wanted you from the first day I saw you,
The first day I looked into your eyes.
That's when I knew that I would adore you.
It was no surprise.
We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky.
We were made for each other
No other love have I.
You took my hand. Was then you had known it?
Was that when you started loving me?
Was it the way I smiled that had shown it?
Was that the day you could see?
We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky.
We were made for each other
No other love have I.
We were made for each other
As the stars were made for the sky.
We were made for each other
No other love have I.

If I had a penny for every time I thought about you
I would be a millionaire
I would send you flowers each day
And I would show you in every way
Just how much I really care
The summer sun and the winter snow,
The autumn leaves let the spring rains know
Just how much I need your love
And if I knew that my time was near,
And you were there,
I would have no fear
Your name would be my dying prayer
It's not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind my love
Before we run aground
It's not too late
To say that I love you
And it's not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too
(It's not too late)
If I was a rich man's son
I would work till the day was done
Just to prove my love was true
I would take you for my wife
And I would love you all my life
And I would never leave or be untrue
It's not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind my love
Before we run aground
It's not too late
To say that I love you
And it's not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too
(It's not too late)
You know our future and your feelings
And the love that I have for you
They're always in my heart and on my mind
A never ending love affair
We'll go together everywhere
Our love will last till the end of time
You know our future and your feelings
And the love that I have for you
They're always in my heart, they're on my mind

Top Monkees, 99 Pounds

by Jeff Barry
I tell you she's a heart breaker and you can't tell me she ain't,
There's a little devil in her under all that powder and paint,
And she can hang you up every night,
And get you so uptight,
She's 99 pounds, I say 99 pounds,
She's 99 pounds of some kind of dynamite.
I tell you half a ton of sugar ain't half as sweet as her,
She can change you, rearrange you till you don't remember what you were,
And it don't even pay to fight,
'Cause she don't know wrong from right,
She's 99 pounds, I said 99 pounds,
She's 99 pounds of some kind of dynamite.
SOLO
And, well, she may look like an angel, but she's made out of T-N-T,
She's a little, bitty package of explosivity,
Yay, but when she holds you tight,

She's 99 pounds, I say 99 pounds,
I say 99 pounds of some kind of dynamite.

Did you know the waters turning yellow?
Have you heard the sky was falling down?
Did you see that guy fall out the window?
Did you know the circus was in town?
Have you heard about Bill Chambers mother?
She said a woman's work is never done.
And oh yes, about that yellow water,
Have you noticed the color of the sun?
You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal...
Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel?
Well I heard you finally got my letter.
It should have come about this time last year.
And I hope Bill Chamber's mother's better.
Oh did the moon just disapear?
You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal...

Acapulco sun, leaving work undone
Dream about the nighttime till she comes
She'll take my hand and walk with me
Down along the sea
Hear the pretty song she sings for free
She sings songs of love so sweet (oh so sweet)
And the words she's saying are so simple and complete
"I love you, truly do."

Top Monkees, Whole Wide World

When I was a young boy, my momma she said to me:
There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti
Or maybe in the Bahamas
where the Caribbean sea is blue
Weepin' away in the tropical night
because nobody's told her 'bout you
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
to find out where they hide her
YEAH!
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
Tryin' to think of a girl
Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world?
Or is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneat the tropical sun
Hiding away in the heat wave there
Hopin' that I won't be long?
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
to find out where they hide her
[repeat]
YEAH!
I'd go the whole wide world

Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smiling,
It hurts so bad, cause when I see you, I start crying,
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying,
That falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying.
Oh, don't walk away,
How, how can I make you stay?
Don't turn away,
I can still hear you saying those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.
Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking?
You won't look around or slow down your walking,
I've given you everything with kiss to seal it,
You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it.
Now, I'm standing here,
Strange, strange voices in my ears,
I feel the tears,
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh.

But don't you be afraid no more.
Throw off the chains that bind

You'll see a rainbow ev'ry day,
The sun will shine in ev'ry way.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
No need to worry anymore,
When love comes knocking at your door
At your door,
At your door,
At your door.
Ah.

Top Monkees, WHILE I CRY

by Michael Nesmith
They told me what you'd do
If I ever stayed with you,
They told me that you'd laugh while I cried,
They told me what you'd say,
That you'd turn and walk away
And find another place to play while I cried.
Now I think back on those times
I didn't read between the lines,
How all the things that you said
Never seemed to match the things you did.
SOLO
Thoughts keep turning round in my mind,
Now I see reason and rhyme,
Time spent with you has brought me something
And I've lost nothing if you are that kind, ahhhhh...
They told me what you'd do
If I ever stayed with you,

Top Monkees, Michigan Blackhawk

by Michael Nesmith
Flying down the highway, looking for a place to land,
I need to leave the speed in the city,
And people come and go and there's no time to understand,
And I keep moving down the road taking notes in a trembling hand,
I asked Sally to go with me but she made it very clear,
She said, "You've got your problems and I have mine, dear."
Up to the sunlit mountain, down by the silver sea,
Well, the tale is told from memory of a finely woven symphony,
Forever heard without a word to disturb this melody,
Still, I'd like to have someone along to share the air with me,
Oh, Sally, why not come with me, you know I'd like be with you?
You can't be all that busy, you don't have that much to do,

Top Monkees, Midnight

by David
Deep in the bayou, into L.A.,
The merchandise is changing sides,
People are hiding and waiting all day,
Till midnight comes around,
That's when it's coming down.
And the dreams of a boy
And his shortcut to easystreet will die.
Back in the city, she's biting her nails,
Taking it hard, he's doing it for her,
She didn't ask and all he would say
Is what he planned to do
To make her dreams come true.
But a whisper went 'round
On the dark side of town
And anything that could go wrong,
Is going wrong right now.
Midnight when it all comes down,
Only the brave and the fools are around,
Midnight when it all comes down,
Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now.
Touchdown on the water and into the trees,
He's come so far and this is the easy part,
Just got to follow the flashlight he sees
And that's where he gets paid,
His fortune will be made.
But a house in the country
And an acre of green
Will always be a dream,
They never even knew his name.
Midnight when it all comes down,
Only the brave and the fools are around,
Midnight when it all comes down,
Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now.
Midnight when it all comes down,
Only the brave and the fools are around,
Midnight when it all comes down,
Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him,
Midnight.
Midnight, when it all comes down,
Midnight when it all comes down,
Only the brave and the fools are around,
Midnight when it all comes down,

Top Monkees, Midnight Train

M: ...or we could do...
C: Ha-ha, Micky, just do what they want...
CR: Do, uh, do both of these again...
Well, I'm an angry man, I sing an angry song,
Tell you, honey, it won't be long,
Well, I'll pack my bags, get out of here
With my guitar and a case of beer.
Well I'm going north and I'm going south,
Tell you, honey, better shut your mouth,
Well, I'll kick your head from here to hell,
You better know I can do it well.
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Losing all my money, well, it really ain't so funny, hon,
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling,
Tell you what baby, well you better be moving on.
Well I really don't know I'm going for sure,
Ain't got a map and it ain't no tour,
I'm just heading out for the open sky,
Who knows, I might even die.
Well, don't you worry your pretty little head,
I never give a damn what I did or said,
That's why I'm packing to leave this place,
Can't stand to look at your cheating face.

And you played around like I was a toy,
Guess you thought I'd have the blues,
Look whose crying, guess you lose.

Top Monkees, Don't Wait For Me

by Michael Nesmith
Don't wait for me, I'll be a long time coming,
Unless by then, you have told me something
That shows how much you care.
I've done much more than, as a man, I should have,
Why did you not do all you could have
To show how much you care?
Over and again, I wondered, "Was I wrong?"
I keep thinking I, maybe, should have come along,
But then there comes a time in every man's life when he must be strong,
And my time's come, so, if you're gone
Then I guess I'll cry and hold to memories
Of what might have been and when I finally leave
That will show how much I care.
Over and again, I wondered, "Was I wrong?"

Top Monkees, Love You Forever

I love you this year
I'll love you next year
And than forever
I'll always need you
I'll never leave you
I'll love you forever
And if you ever change your mind
Think again and give me time
For you're my first love
You are my last love
You're my forever
I love this feeling
My heart is beating
A mile a minute
No other woman
Has ever been
So deep inside in it
And when the sun shines on our love
That's when I thank the Lord above
You're my first love
You are my last love
You're my beginning
And when the sun shines on our love
That's when I thank the Lord above
You're my first love
You are my last love
You are my everlasting love
You're my first love
You are my last love
You're my forever

Top Monkees, Magnolia Simms

By Michael Nesmith
Love to me is blue-eyed and blonde.
Oh, that's sweet Magnolia.
Apple pie on the window still warm.
That's my sweet Magnolia
Walking under a sky that's so blue
After rain has fallen.
When she's walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide.
[la-dee, da-dum, etc.]
Well, walking under a sky that's so blue
After rain has fallen.
When she's walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide.
Magnolia Simms is my little doll.
I can't live without her.
For if she goes my world will just fall.
Stay with me, Magnolia.
[Sound of record skipping]

Top Monkees, Mary Mary

Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, can I go too?
This one thing I will vow ya
I'd rather die than to live without ya
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me?
Whatever it was I didn't mean to
You know I never would try and hurt ya
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
What more, Mary, can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I've done more now
Than a clear-thinkin' man would do

Where you go, I will follow
'Til I win your love again
And walk beside you but until then

Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary
Where you goin' to?
Oh Mary,where you goin' to?

Top Monkees, Me Without You

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
I wonder just how long it would be,
Me without you, you without me.
We had a fight last night about something or other,
But it can't be too important if we love one another,
Whoa, true love always seems to take a little bit longer,
But, every time we break up, we make up a little bit stronger.
I wonder just how long it would be,
Me without you, you without me.
SOLO
Let me tell you now,
I wonder just how long it would be,
Me without you, you without me,
Me without you, and you without me,

Top Monkees, (I Prithee) Do Not Ask For Love [Remastered]

And is it so, once you thou art returning?
Hast thou lost thy way as once before?
I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be.
I shall not be thy refuge once more.
Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.
But I shan't hear thee as before.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.
So go my way, and soon I shall go likewise.
And if thy path be high, then be mine low.
Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not.
For soon they shall be covered with snow.
Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.
But I shan't hear thee as before.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.

Top Monkees, Love Is Only Sleeping

She looked at me
And the emptiness in her eyes was cruel to see
Then she turned away and said,
";Once I loved, but love is dead";
And I whispered, ";Sometimes love is only sleeping";
She said, ";I cannot cry
And I cannot give or feel or even try";
And her voice was hard and cold
Then her sweet young face looked old
And I whispered, ";Sometimes love is only sleeping";
Through the endless days and nights
Could not help but wrap herself in sorrow (sorrow)
Through the endless days and nights
She waited for a shiny new tomorrow
Love was sleeping, sleeping
She looked at me
And her smiling tears were warm and sweet and free
And the moonlight kissed her eyes
As it mingled with our sighs
And she whispered, ";Sometimes love is only sleeping";
And she whispered, ";Sometimes love is only sleeping";
Only sleeping...

Top Monkees, No Time

by Hank Cicalo
Hobber, reeber, sabosoben, hobber, seeber, sneck,
Seeber, rabber, hobbersoben, what did you expect?
No time, (No time, no time at all)
No time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do. (No time, no time at all)
Running from the rising heat to find a place to hide,
The grass is always greener growing on the other side.
No time, (No time, no time at all)
Ah, no time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do (No time, no time at all)
Rock on, George for Ringo, one time...

No time, (No time, no time at all)
No time for you. (No time, no time at all)

Tell me what you said again, I can't believe it's real
No time, (No time, no time at all)
I got no time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do (No time, no time at all)

Got lots of better things to do (No time, no time at all)
Oh, I got no time! (No time, no time at all)

Top Monkees, The Monkees

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
I guess I should have stayed in bed,
My pillow wrapped around my head,
Instead of waking up to find
A nightmare of a different kind,
She went away,
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
She didn't have to say a lot,
Her pretty eyes revealed a plot,
'Twas someone else she wanted more,
And so I walked her to the door,
What could I say?
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
My, oh my, (Oh my, oh my, oh my)
How sad am I, (How sad am I)
How I wish she would have stayed, (Wish she would have stayed)
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
My whole world is upside down,
She turned my smile into a frown,
It's such a pity the shape I'm in,
I must get on my feet again,
Can't stay this way,
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
My, oh my, (Oh my, oh my, oh my)
How sad am I, (How sad am I)
How I wish she would have stayed, (Wish she would have stayed)
This just doesn't seem to be my day.
I guess I should have stayed in bed,
My pillow wrapped around my head,
Instead of waking up to find
A nightmare of a different kind,
She went away,
This just doesn't seem to be my day.

Top Monkees, She

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
(She!) She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start
(She!) She said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt
(She!) She laughed while I was crying
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
And now I know just why she keeps me hanging 'round,
(Hanging 'round)
She needs someone to walk on so her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her! (Love her!)
I need her! (Need her!)
I want her! (Want her!)
Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!)
Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She!
SOLO
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.

(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
