Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am home again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am whole again

Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am young again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am fun again

However far away, i will always love you
However long i stay, i will always love you
Whatever words i say, i will always love you,
I will always love you

Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am free again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am clean again

However far away, i will always love you
However long i stay, i will always love you
Whatever words i say, i will always love you,
I will always love you

It's a happy day
For the water bugs have melt away
Not a bird is sitting in its tree
Not a he, she, it or me
It's a happy day
Letter gate has sprung away
Taking all the floods to sea
Leaving uncle sam and he
He was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose

It's a happy day
For the world has come to stay
Not a creature sleeps today
The world will not go away

It's a happy day
Let us dream and sleep tonight
Of the world in its plight
'cause i need top top find
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothin' really left to lose
She was his only girl
She called him pop crackle
He was her only pearl
Flying out of tanger sound

It's a happy day
We are here to gather to stay
Not a person will keep us away
Our life is the greatest today

It's a happy day
This could go on all night
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night

This old man
He played one
He played knick knack on my thumb
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played two
He played knick knack on my shoe
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone

This old man
He played three
He played knick knack on my knee
With a knick knack, paddywhack
This old man

This old man
He played four
He played knick knack on my door
With a knick knack paddywhack
Give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played ten
He played knick knack on my shin
On my shin

If you don't
Treat me better
Baby i'11 just run away
Baby i don't
Know what drives you
To play these
Silly games
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger
Than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid
To let it show


Chorus:
When will you wake up
I want you
More than the stars
And the sun
But i can take
Only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
I gotta
Brand new dress babe
Could it
Make you wanna try
I guess
I didn't want
To notice
The stars gone
From your eyes
C'mon baby
I'm much
Stronger than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid
To let it show


Repeat chorus


We could buy
An airplane
Build a home
In the sand
You could tell
Your secrets
I could understand
But then by the morning
Comes crumblin' down
And as your leavin'
Wait


Chorus:
When will you wake up
I want you
More than the stars
And the sun
But i can take
Only so much
Cool on your island
You're so cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
Is it cool baby


If you don't
Treat me better
Baby i'11 just
Run away
If you don't
Tredt me
One day
You'll wake up cold
Then you'll know
You'll know
You'll know
You'll love me

i want to live
I want to give
I want to live
I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold
It’s these expressions i never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
I’ve been to hollywood
I’ve been to redwood
I crossed an ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
I’ve been to hollywood
I’ve been to redwood
I crossed an ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
I said i am getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

baby your da-da loves you (hey)
And i’ma always be here for you no matter what happens
You’re all i got in this world
I would never give you up for nothin
Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me
I love you
C’mon hai-hai, we goin to the beach
Grab a couple of toys and let da-da strap you in the car seat
Oh where’s mama? she’s takin a little nap in the trunk
Oh that smell da-da musta runned over a skunk
Now i know what you’re thinkin - it’s kind of late to go swimmin
But you know your mama, she’s one of those type of women
That do crazy things, and if she don’t get her way, she’ll throw a fit
Don’t play with da-da’s toy knife, honey, let go of it
And don’t look so upset, why you actin bashful?
Don’t you wanna help da-da build a sand castle?
And mama said she wants to show how far she can float
And don’t worry about that little boo-boo on her throat
It’s just a little scratch - it don’t hurt, her was eatin
Dinner while you were sweepin and spilled ketchup on her shirt
Mama’s messy isn’t she? we’ll let her wash off in the water
And me and you can pway by ourselves, can’t we?
Just the two of us..
Just the two of us..
Just the two of us..
See honey.. there’s a place called heaven and a place called hell
A place called prison and a place called jail
And da-da’s probably on his way to all of em except one
Cause mama’s got a new husband and a stepson
And you don’t want a brother do ya?
Maybe when you’re old enough to understand a little better
I’ll explain it to ya
But for now we’ll just say mama was real real bad
She was bein mean to dad and made him real real mad
But i still feel sad that i put her on time-out
Sit back in your chair honey, quit tryin to climb out
I told you it’s okay hai-hai, wanna ba-ba?
Take a night-night? nan-a-boo, goo-goo ga-ga?
Her make goo-goo ca-ca? da-da change your dia-dee
Clean the baby up so her can take a nighty-nighty
Your dad’ll wake her up as soon as we get to the water
Ninety-seven bonnie and clyde, me and my daughter
Me and my daughter
Me and my daughter
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Wake up sweepy head we’re here, before we pway
We’re gonna take mama for a wittle walk along the pier
Baby, don’t cry honey, don’t get the wrong idea
Mama’s too sweepy to hear you screamin in her ear
That’s why you can’t get her to wake, but don’t worry
Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake
Here, you wanna help da-da tie a rope around this rock?
We’ll tie it to her footsie then we’ll roll her off the dock
Ready now, here we go, on the count of free..
One.. two.. free.. wheeeeee!
There goes mama, spwashin in the water
No more fightin wit dad, no more restraining order

No more step-da-da, no more brother
Blow her kisses bye-bye, tell mama you love her (mommy!)
Now we’ll go play in the sand, build a castle and junk
But first, just help dad with two more things out the trunk
Just the two of us

Ev'rybody wants something from you
Ev'rybody wants a piece of mary
Lush valley all dressed in green,
Just ripe for the picking

God, i want to get you out of here,
You can ride in a pink mustang
When i think of what we've done to you,
Oh, mary, can you hear me?

Growing up isn't always fun,
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips,
But butterflies don't belong in nets

Oh, mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding. mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up and i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said. mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind, even the wind cries your name

Ev'rybody wants you sweetheart
Ev'rybody got a dream of glory
Las vegas got a pinup girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk running dry,
Can't you hear the dolphins crying?
What'll we do when our babies scream,
Fill their mouths with some acid rain?

Oh, mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding. mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up and i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like jimmy said. mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind, even the wind cries your name

Oh, butterflies don't belong in nets

Master shaman, i have come with my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an englishman. i'm my mother, i'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade

But all the angels and all the wizards, black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And i can even see sweet marianne

Sister janet, you have come from the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming none. call the wanderer, he has gone
All those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wings
A wing can cover all sorts of things

Hey, yes this again, well i think i could try this once again

But all the angels and all the wizards, black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And i can even see sweet marianne

And you know you're gonna
Lie to you
In your own way

Know know too well
Know the chill
Know she breaks
My siren

Never was one
For a prissy girl
Coquette
Call in for
An ambulance
Reach high
Doesn't
Mean she's
Holy
Just means
She's got a cellular handy
Almost
Brave
Almost
Pregnant
Almost in love "vanilla"

And you know you're
Gonna lie to you
In your own way

i’m not in love, so don’t forget it
It’s just a silly phase i’m going through
And just because i call you up,
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because...
I like to see you, but then again,
That doesn’t mean you mean that much to me
So if i call you, don’t make a fuzz
Don’t tell your friends about the two of us
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because...
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain still lying there
It hides a nasty stain still lying there
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain still lying there
It hides a nasty stain still lying there
So don’t you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn’t mean that much to me
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because...
Ooh, you’ll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you’ll wait a long time
Ooh, you’ll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you’ll wait a long time
I’m not in love, it's just a silly phase i'm goin through
And just because i call you up,
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made
I’m not in love
I’m not in love

Daisy dead petals that is her name.
She's in the phone booth phase, so
Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray,
She can turn it out with a heel on she just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say, knowing they're around the corner.
Got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.

Daisy dead petals, that is her name.
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well,
These dead petals, honey, brought me here.
She said "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."

Dancing on a dime, hearing mother cry,
Maybe she's around the corner

Got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.
On my back with, on my back with some dirty dishes

Falling down, falling down, all over the river
Falling down, falling down, falling down

And since we're down might as well stay,
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray.
She's a new friend not a skeleton to ride into town.
Knowing what they'll say, knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid, but

"these dead petals, honey, brought me here."
She said "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."

Sarah sylvia cynthia stout
Would not take the garbage out
She'd scour the pots and scrap the pans
Candy the yams and spice the hams
And though her daddy would scream and shout
She simply would not take the garbage out
And so it pulled up to the ceilings
Coffee grounds, potato peelings
Brown bananas, rottens peas
Chunks of sour cottage cheese
It filled the can it covered the floor
It cracked the window and blocked the door
With bacon rinds and chicken bones
Drippy ends of ice cream cones
Prunes pits, peach pits, orange peel
Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal
Pizza crusts and withered greens
Soggy beans and tangerines
Crusts of black burned butter toast
Grisly bits of beefy roast
The garbage rolled on down the hall
It raised the roof, it broke the wall
Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs
Glops of gooey bubble gum
Cellophane from green bologna
Rubbery blubbery macaroni
Peanut butter caked and dry
Curdled milk and crusts of pie
Moldy melons, dried up mustard
Egg shells mixed with lemon custard
Cold french fries and rancid meat
Yellow lumps of cream-of-wheat
At last the garbage reached so high
That finally it touched the sky
All the neighbors moved away
And none of her friends would come to play
And finally sarah sylvia cynthia stout
Said "okay, i'll take the garbage out"
But then of course it was too late
The garbage reached across the state
From new york to the golden gate
And there in the garbage she did hate
Poor sarah met an awful fate
That i cannot right now relate
For the hour is much to late
The children remember sarah stout
And always take the yummy garbage out

"i'm tori amos and i hope that was a good nighty-night"

Hey kid, i've got a ride for you.
They say, your brain is a comic book tatoo
And you'll never be anything.
What will you do with your life, oh,
That's all you hear from noon till night.

Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby, where the sea is the sky.
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight.
Flying dutchman are you out there?
Flying dutchman are you out there, flying dutchman?

Straight suits, they don't understand.
She tried that one with the alligator boots but the other side drew her in.
Heart falling fast when she left, even the milky way was dressed in black.

Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby, where the sea is the sky.
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight.
Flying dutchman are you out there?
Flying dutchman are you out there, flying dutchman?

'cause they can't see what you're born to be.
They can see me.
They can't be
What they can't believe.
They can see what you see.

They keep the boys spinning in their own little world.
Tie him up so he won't say a word.
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world.
So afraid he'll be what they never where.

well, the smart money’s on harlow
And the moon is in the street
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you’re east of east st. louis
And the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon is weeping in the carnival saloon
His invisible fiance is in the mirror
The band is going home
It’s raining hammers, it’s raining nails
Yes, it’s true, there’s nothing left for him down here
And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time
That you love
And it’s time time time
And they all pretend they’re orphans
And their memory’s like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can’t remember
Tell the things you can’t forget that
History puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she’d stick around
Until the bandages came off
But these mama boys just don’t know when to quit
And matilda asks the sailors are those dreams
Or are those prayers
So just close your eyes son
And this won’t hurt a bit
And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time
That you love
And it’s time time time
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the streets
And when they're on a roll
She pulls a razor from her boot
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window
And a kiss upon his lips
Till the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And pay the fiddler off till i come back again
And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time
That you love
And it’s time time time

And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time
And it’s time time time
That you love
And it’s time time time

Cheese and onion sandwiches on derby chinaware
Fiddles and jigs and woogie my dog and tv havin' a swear
Takin' my dad for a pint or two, a sunday morning stroll
Licorice pipes and baggy suits, glen hoddle scorin' a goal
Catchin' a pike and ridin' my bike on wooden wheels and a bowl of eels
Yes... that's what i like, boy
That's what i like

Pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William brookes and comical looks, pianos, trams and trains
Colds and cockles and thunderstorms, place on the wireless and now
Grandfather clocks and coke and brandy, fountain pens and beano and dandy
That's what i like, i said
Hey, that's what i like

Little pubs out in the country, mother pearl and bernard faire
The sound of a banjo, barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
Burnt toast, a beer from the wood and old jerry thomas' teeth
Jerry and chuck and cannon and ball, a banjo pickin' bill keith
And old bank loads, wood burnin' stoves and shirley maclaine
And petticoat lane

That's what i like, i said
That's what i like, yes boy
Yes, that's just, ohh

Bubble and squeak and jumble sales, little richard and jerry lee
Bonfire night and south and that's paddlin' in the sea
Polished brass and copper, salvation army bands
Violins and old coach inns and colored elastic bands
Tea in the mornin' and winter beginnin' and fishin' lines
And frogs and spurs are winning
Yes that's what i like
Hey, that's what i like

A day at the races, cover the bases, goin' out hoppin in kent
A new pair of braces, little kids faces sleeping under the tent
And wagons, chickens and pickin' blackberries and swallows and sledges
And devon and derries
And haddock and trotters and horses and knickers and swatters and stickers
And banjo, and kippers
Yeah, that's what i like, boy
That's what i like

Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'

Oh, oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away

Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, no-no
To pass the time of day

Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run,
See how they run, see how they run
Run-run, run-run, run-run

Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I wanna tell you
Some folk twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, oh

Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin'
Yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for lady nature
And she will come back again
Yes she will, yes she will

Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
The people turned away

Don't they know that they're goin'

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that i do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night i wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

She needs to sleep like the ocean
She needs to dream like that boy down in the stratum
Don't know what he's all about but
I'm sure he knows one of the spots
I need to be in this body
I need to breathe
I need no one but one
And it's gonna be here like it never was
Like it never was
He's got girls on his fingers
Little dough eyes making ringers ring off the phone
Tell her you know what she's been thinking
'cause i need only one, only one sugar
I said you are gonna see
I'm ready to be just with the one
With the blue blue notions of motions

Coughing from the smoke of a black roof chimney
Marching to the beat of a hot roof over me
Hey, ho, here we go, we're off to work again
Bells are ringing, we are singing
Joyous in our industry

I love my job
He loves his job
Pull that lever
Start the engine
Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

It's the perfect job

Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers

"you do your thing"

My samurai said going to the sanctuary
I knew about my love too
My samurai done making a liar of me when
To be happy
To be you
He says

My samurai take me down to the sanctuary
And i'm free
Gonna be
You know me
You know me
I said i'm gonna be
Gonna be
You know me

My samurai taking my face
And she's sticking it on a daisy
And you

"i think i gotta cut that one too
I get the samurai book out and just read words"

In the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
And not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

The three men i admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died

They were singing "bye bye miss american pie"
I drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singing "this'll be the day that i die, this'll be the day that i die"

And the three men i admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died

Poppa i know
There's a frog on my toe
Maybe i'll call him jethro
Maybe i'll grow up to be
As wise, good as he
And maybe i'll come back after you're long gone

Poppa i'm sure
The worms have eaten you now
And jethro's been on some frenchy's plate long ago
Now i'm pretty sure that i listen to every word
'cause i still hear you telling me still

"slap them boys when they're naughty
Make 'em crawl, make you haughty"

Make you strong, little girl
You paint them toes the reddish colour
And you know one day
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree

Now i'm pretty sure
That i think you'd come and visit
And talk sometimes kind of like gidget
A funny little chance like an indian brave
He said "we all grew fat when the white man came"
But one day girl you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
Make 'em grow tall
But have the grace
To be a lady with disgrace
And you fry them 'taters
And you make them with ladies, hands
I know you're my pappy's baby

You may consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the scylla and charibdes
Hypnotized by you if i should linger
Staring at the ring on your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they wouldn't teach me in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name
But i know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
Then you will find your servant is your master

And you'll be wrapped around my finger

Ride on, ride on friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on do you know where she's gone?
Gumdrops and saturdays, did eric call by the way?
He knew, he knew, and he knew where the pillow goes.

Ride on, ride on friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on you know where she's gone.
Buttercups and fishing flies the biggest thickest ever sky.
I know they know something.
I know.

Ride on, ride on now friends of the black swan.
Ride on, ride on you know where she's gone.

Little green men do o.k.,
It's the fairies' revenge they say,
And gumdrops and saturdays, did eric call by the way?

Mm, la la, ride on, ride on, ride on

"lie, lie, lies ev'rywhere," said the father to the son
Your peppermint breath, gonna choke 'em to death,
Daddy watch your little black sheep run
He's got a knives in his back ev'ry time he opens up
You say "he gotta be strong if he wanna be a man"
Mister, i don't know how you can have

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Land, land of liberty
We're run by a constipated man
When you live in the past
You refuse to see when your
Daughter comes home nine months pregnant
With five billion points of light
Gonna shine 'em on the face of your friends
They got the earth in a sling
They got the world on her knees
They even got your zipper between their teeth

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
You say, you say that you have 'em i say that you're a liar
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Go on, go on, go on dream
Your house is on fire
Come along now

Well, well summer wind been catching up with me
"elephant mind, missy you don't have
You're forgettin' to fly
Darlin when you sleep"
I got a hazy lazy susan

Takin' turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes runnin' through my body
Funny how they all have my face
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Someone smashed
My window
Broke into my
Brand new car
Last night
Caught my boyfriend
Lookin
At another slender
Pair of thighs
Gotta make more money
Gotta get gotta get
There faster than
The rest
Knock 'em off
The ladder
If they even seem to
Stand a chance


Chorus:
The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me
Starin' at me


Why do i feel
So threatened
That somebody else will
Take what's mine
Babe it's only rented
No one really owns the
Merchandise
What about what
I want
Somehow it got
Lost somewhere
Inside
My mother's on my case
I told her
It's my life
Well, she just died


Chorus:
The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me
Starin' at me
The big picture
On a big blank wall
The big picture
Is starin' at me
Starin' at me
When i can see
I'11 try again
I've got my paints
Repeat second chorus

Have yourself a merry little christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And, have yourself a merry little christmas, now

i'll sing to the sun in the sky
I'll sing to the sun rises high
Carnival time is here
Magical time of year
And as the time draws near
Dreams fill my heart
I'll sing while he plays his guitar
I'll sing as the night wakes the dawn
Will love come my way
On this magical day
And will love stay in my heart

I'll sing while he plays his guitar
I'll sing in my dream from afar
Will love come my way
On this magical day
And will love stay in my heart

Will true love come my way
On this magical day
Or will i live alone in my dreams
Will true love come my way
On this magical day
Or will love only live on my dreams

Stay, stay in me, in my heart
You
I say it again
The way you walk and i know the way you can
The way you're telling me you're not a dangerous man
I said it again, i'll say again
I'm not that kind of woman
The way you're telling me
Whoa
What you can do
What you can do to me
What you can do...you

If the sun refused to shine
I don't how
I don't mind

If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be
It aint me

Got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you

If a 6 turned out to be 9
I don't know how
I don't mind

If the hippies cut off their hair
I don't care
I don't care

I've got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you

If the sun refused to shine...

What child is this...?

It's so nice to live here,
I'm glad this is my home,
I've got a homestead on baltimore street
It's someplace to call my own

It's all kinds of people,
Familiar places, smiling faces,
I'm proud to say i'm a baltimorian.
But the 'birds' are the best,
The best of baltimore.

We like it here in baltimore,
There's so much love in baltimore,
Working hand in hand,
To make this place a better land in baltimore,
Love is what you'll find so stop and take the time,
I've got oriole baseball on my mind.

We like it here in baltimore,
There's so much love in baltimore,
Working hand in hand,
To make this place a better land in baltimore,
Love is what you'll find so stop and take the time,
To enjoy the brotherhood of baltimore.

The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad i spend my day
In a working american city
With all the people who make it that way,
It's time to jump in a taxi
For thirty-third street
Knowing i'll be watching those 'birds' go,
Watching weaver's show.

We like it here in baltimore,
There's so much love in baltimore,
Working hand in hand,
To make this place a better land in baltimore,
Love is what you'll find so stop and take the time,
I've got oriole baseball on my mind.

On my mind in baltimore

One with her hands open
"don't be afraid" she said
"no one will know it, just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back



This old man
Traditional

Sirens wake me up
Wake me up
With a cry
Things we do
For attention...
Just a little
Reminder dear
I am still alive


So confused
I almost threw
It all away
For you
You took me higher
And you dropped
Me lower
Than i've ever been
Before


Chorus:
If i have a heart attack
At 23
I'm loving you too much
If i have a heart attack
At 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If i have a heart attack
At 23


All my friends
We waste so
Much love
On our men
Why can't i
Be forgiving
While he's been out
A-messin'
With his argentine baby


Repeat chorus


I must be dreaming
We were together
In a
Land of scarlet ribbon
That tied you to me darlin'
Roll roll roll roll on
But you know i'm never
Satisfied
With all the good things
In my life
I thought i needed you
To be strong
I'll still miss you
When i'm gone


Repeat chorus

Make it in
The city
Do what you can
Wave to the boy
With a gun
In his hand


Lollipop girls
Pave the street
Stand in line
To be
Your limousine


You took my love
You took my money
You took my sex
Took my love
Took my money
Give me


Chorus:
Fayth
Help me keep
Myself together
With a little more
Fayth
With a little more
Fayth yeah
Fayth
I could keep
Our love together
With a little more
Fayth
I could wake up
And face the day


How do you keep
The romance there
When a little
French maid
Lives downstairs


Radio blasts
As the baby cries
Run to the dragon that
Runs my life


You took my love
You took my money
You took my sex
Took my love
Took my money
Give me


Repeat chorus


I could wake up
And face the day
Maybe i could
Start again
Why am i afraid
Of change
Maybe fayth
Could understand
Darlin' i remember
When
I held the violets
In my hand
Love can crush
Held too tight
We could bring
It back alive
With a little more
Fayth
Repeat chorus

Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator
Got a little red line that tells you, boy
Where the razor's been

You said girl if you think
You can turn that violator
You'll finally be that woman,yes
Finally be that woman
That's been frozen in that pretty silver girl

Yes,

And i've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
And i've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Some boy you are
To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
And where it like a lady knows
How to cross her legs
There the birdy's been

And i've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
Said i've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Said now learn
Say goodbye to those would, say

Stinky soul, get a little lost in my own,
Hey general, need a little love in that hole of yours.
One ways, now, and saturdays and our kittens all wrapped in cement.
From cradle to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as i can and
Is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried

Daddy dear, if i can kill one man why not two?
Well, nurses smile when you got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes and pom poms and cherry blondes
And their kittens still wrapped in cement.
From god's saviors to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as i can and
Is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried.

Got a pretty, pretty garden, pretty garden, yes.
Got me a pretty, pretty garden, a pretty garden, yes.
Got me a pretty, pretty garden, a pretty garden

Hello
Make a slave
Of me
I should have
More control
Little dove hello
You take full
Advantage
Of my open
Window


When the cold of
The night
Has washed away
All i want
Is to wake in
Your arms
And i know
That i shouldn't
Let you stay
But i'm a lush
For your love


Chorus:
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go to my head
And you know i can
Never say no
To you and your friend


You call
Oh no (you know you want him)
Boy your heart swings
In the wind
From rose to rose
Honeybee
Go home (please stay)
To that warm nest
You left
Minutes ago


Yes i understand
You give your time
Can't you see
I've given my heart
All that light
In your eyes
Is from the wine
I'm such a lush
For your love


Repeat chorus

I took my love, i took it down
Climbed a mountain and i turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can i sail through the changing ocean tides
Can i handle the seasons of my life

Well, i've been afraid of changing
'cause i've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And i'm getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Will the landslide bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now i sure is found
Was blind but now i see
'twas grace mother that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did ever your grace appear
The hour i first believed
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as his sun
I know that grace sweet grace has appeared
And now she'll bring me home

Don't know where
But i'm sure we'll soon find out
Where we're going i said
Don't know, reruns of caddyshack
Omla bomla, bi de li day
Don't know where the dhali lama is today
Don't know where my heart is roaming to
Before you turn around
Before you turn around
I think i know a little boy
With each day now
I'm tasting the snow beneath my soul
Beneath the souls of my souls
With each day now
You're in me now
Said, omla bomleigh
Said love that bus ride wherever it's taking me
And johnny and mister p hold my hand
Just hold my hand
Omla bomleigh

Some people sing about deutsch girls
And girls from california
They might be alright for a night alright
But don't trust them i warn ya
I've been to the east and i've been out west
And i've been the world around
But i ain't seen no one anywhere near
A girl from london town

Give me a london girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a london girl every time
I want a london girl

Marry a girl from london town
You know that you can trust her
She'll darn your socks and wash your
Yes everytime your trousers won't bust 'em ,yes
And they're all good cooks
And they've got good looks
And they won't let you down
Said i gotta find a london girl
If i ever get a half a chance

Oh give me a london girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a london girl every time
I want a london girl

London girls are the best in the world
There ain't no doubt about it
If you can't find a girl from london town
You're better off doin' without her
They don't create when you come home late
And you're crawlin' up the passage floor
They won't mock about you
When you're going out with
The geezer from the house next door

Oh give me a london girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
I said honey give me a london girl babe
Every little time
Your legs turn to jelly
And i got a little smelly
But i know it's just what i want

'cause i need a london girl, oh, every time
They've always got a pound to buy their round
When it's their turn at the bar

In my head i found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't, oh, dare, now.
But i find that i have, now, more
Than i ever wanted too

So maybe thomas jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to when she has left
You there, you, all here in my head and
Running around and calling me come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow and
Open their petals again and again and you know that
Apple green ice cream can melt in your hands i can't so...

I, i held your hand at the fair and
Even forgot what time it was
And even thomas jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor,
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt and the girl from the south all
Fav'rites of mine you know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles that makes it all clear makes it all...
Do you know, hey, do you know, what this is doing to me?
Here in my head

You went away
Why did you
Leave me
You know
I beleived you
Nothing explained
Where are the answers
I know i need you
Tell me
Is your city
Paved with gold


Is there hunger
Do your people grow old
Do your governments
Have secrets
That they've sold


Chorus:
Every night i wait
Take me away
To your
Floating city
By my window at night
I see the lights
To your
Floating city
Come and take me away
I want to play
In your
Floating city yeah
Floating city yeah


T.v. turns off
Any of us that
Say that we've
Seen you
Tell me are we
The only planet
That can't
Conceive you


Will we be
Like atlantis
Long ago
So assured
That we're advanced
With what we know
That our spirit
Never had time
To grow


Repeat chorus


Is it weak
To look out for
Saviors out in space
Little earth
She tries so hard
To change our ways
Sometimes she
Must get sick
Of this place


Repeat chorus
