unknown

So let it rain
Or let the sun shine down on me
I feel no pain
Now that your here it's all the same

You are the one
I should have known
I'm blown away
Like a boat out on the ocean

Time rages on
And all i do is watch the way
Because of you
Nothing will ever be the same

You are the one
I should have known
I'm blown away
Like a boat out on the ocean

Blown away
Like a storm in the night

Blow away

You are the one
I should have known
Blown away
Like a boat out on the ocean

Blow away
Like a storm in the night
I'm blown away

Early morning day is dawning
Cooling towers and factory gates
Dirty streets and laughing people
Skinny dogs and beer crates

Hello my old friend
Hello my old friend

Sad canals green black water
Somewhere bicycles and beds
Wet and windy afternoons
And pigeons coo in garden sheds

Hello my old friend
Hello my old friend

High-rise tower blocks with panoramic
Views of trains and coal
Tiehead railway tracks tread faithfully
The gas works to behold

Hello my old friend
Hello my old friend

Just to see the sunset
Pretty rainbows over your majestic towers
To feel your earth beneath my feet
Here i could stand for hours and hours

(young girls sing fara jacka in the background)

Big machines that once were champions
Turn to dust under the sky
Broken windows choking chimneys
Factory walls for miles and miles

By bye my old friend
By bye my old friend

Just to see the sunset
Pretty rainbows over your majestic towers
To feel your earth beneath my feet
Here i could stand for hours and hours

I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly i am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought i could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? i'm alive, i'm alive

I'm alive - and the dawn breaks across the sky
I'm alive - and the sun rises up so high
Lost in another world (far away), never another word (till today)
But what can i say? i'm alive, i'm alive, i'm alive

(instrumental break)

Suddenly came the dawn (from the night), suddenly i was born (into light)
How can it be real? i'm alive, i'm alive, i'm alive

I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly i am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought i could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? i'm alive, i'm alive, i'm alive

(instrumental break)

I'm alive, i'm alive, i'm alive, i'm alive

Hush little baby, don't you cry
Oh-oh, don't you cry
Maybe tomorrow's, a better life
Oh-oh, if you try

Rain is falling all around
Storm came, it brings you down
But if you lose your mind
Weatherman, in his overcoat

Look up in the sky now, the weatherman cry now
Oh-oh, the window pane
Damp in the valley, up in the alley
Oh-oh, it's pouring rain

Rain is falling all around
Storm came, it brings you down
So let your mind roll on
Weatherman, dry's the lonely tears

Early in the morning, while the sun's still yawning
Oh-oh, smiles on you
Maybe today is, a better life
Oh-oh, if we try

Sun is shining all around
It warms your heart and melts the cloud
But if your mind can see
Weatherman, smiles a lonely smile

I'm walking down the street i used to walk with them
Rain is falling down on me
Every step i take just leads to another
Now there's nothing in my way

No i don't no what i can say
And you wouldn't listen anyway
Sooner or later, later, later, oh oh oh, gonna find you
Sooner or later, later, gonna get to you

I got the message late last night, that's when it hit me
Though it over and over and over and over again
While i was drowning in the sea of your devotion
But you were miles and miles and miles away

Oh you wouldn't no what things to say
And you wouldn't say them anyway
But sooner or later, later, later, oh oh, gonna find you
Sooner or later, ah ah ah, gonna get to you

Sooner or later, later, later, gonna find you
Sooner or later, ah ah ah, gonna get to you

The sun is shining, making shadows on the wall
But not will soon be comin'' in
And every where there will be misery, misery, misery
Until i get to you again

Oh i never new you wanted to leave
You never thought about talkin' to me
Sooner or later, later, later, oh, oh, gonna find you
Sooner or later, ah ah ah, gonna get to you

Sooner or later, later, later, oh, oh, gonna find you
Sooner or later, ah ah ah, gonna get to you

I don't know what i can say
But you wouldn't listen anyway
Sooner or later, later, later
Sooner or later, later, later, gonna get to you

Sooner or later, later, later, gonna find you
Sooner or later, later, later, gone get you

Sooner or later, sooner or later,
Sooner or later, sooner or later,
Sooner or later, sooner or later

Come with me

It's all so easy for me to see
We can be
Close together, for always forever
You'll never believe but it's true

You will see
The happy corners where we will be
It's for real
I'll sing to you all the songs that we knew
That's not true don't be blue they're for you

Can you feel
It's spinning round like a great big wheel
It's for real
I'll sing to you all the songs that we knew
That's not true don't be blue they're for you

Come with me
Come with me

Come with me
It's all so easy for me to see
Come with me
When i find that you're all on my mind
That's the time i will say come with me

[instrumental]

[instrumental]

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, oh it's made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul keeps on turning
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace for me to find
Well i could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
Oh you must know it was the last thing on my mind

As we walked all my thoughts they are a tumbling down down
Round and around, round and round
And underneath i hear the subway's trumblin'
Underground, underground
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well i could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

You've got reasons of plenty for going
This i know, this i know
For the weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't grow, please don't grow
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left to find
Well i could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown

Bad dreamer, what's your name
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as through there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a showdown

Save me, oh save me
It's unreal, the suffering
There's gonna be a showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

I know that i can't keep her
Now she's in love with you
But i just wanna say
I won't be far away
So don't make my baby blue

I know your reputation
They say you can't be true
So i'll be standing by
And you just better try
Not to make my baby blue

My little girl, she's always been an angel
And it hurts me so bad to set her free
You better take good care of her
She still means all the world to me
You know she does

I'm gonna step aside now
Just like she wants me to
But even though i'm gone
I'll still be looking on
You better not make my baby blue
She's been a good baby
....


I know your reputation

Blue

Do you remember, you said to me
That you would wait, wait for me eternally
I've been wondering, and i've been hoping
Your still the same, only you can say
I'll be so glad to be back with you
I'll do anything you want me to

That's what i want, i'll be so happy, back home

I see your light, shine in my window
And i know you coming home
And as the light grows, grows ever brighter
I see your face, you are alone
And when i tell you all the things i have seen
You'll say that darling you must have been dreaming

That's what i want, i'll be so happy, back home

Electric visions have crossed, strange decisions have crossed
I felt the stars above me, i have someone to love me
That's what i want, i'll be so happy, back home

Believe me baby when i say, i wish i never, never,
Never, never, never be away
For the things that i see, be meant for the eyes of a time
And when we walk alone together
That's how i want it to be, want it to be forever

That's what i want, i'll be so happy
That's what i want, i'll be so happy
That's what i want, i'd be so happy, back home

I'm getting outta here cause there's too many complications
Yeah i'm getting outta here don't get driven any information
And if they ask you for a number to call just say i'm gone that's all

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

If anybody wants me just say you don't know the address
Cause i've had enough of the confusion and the madness
And should anybody ever try to stall, just say i'm gone that's all

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

I'm tired of playing other peoples games
Tired of waiting for some things to change

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

I'm tired of playing other peoples games
Tired of waiting for some things to change

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home

Love is what i want
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby
Talk is what i want what i want
Oh, yeah what i want
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby

Talk come on, let's talk about it
Talk can't seem to do without it
Talk don't want to be one of the broken hearted

So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide

All i want is love what i want
Oh, yeah what i want
And all you gotta do is listen to me, baby what i want

So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide

Life 'cause life gets tougher every
Day day if you can't afford to
Pay pay, even so you got to carry on carry on

So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide
Lift me up

Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide

Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
The river's deep and wide

Goin' to a party,
Meet me out after school.
Well we go to a place
Where the jive is really cool.
And if the band stops a playin'
There's a jukebox in the hall.

Well put your blue dress on,
And your folks all gone.
You'll sure give the guys a ball.

Chorus:
Get that real guitar boy shakin',
I'm a california man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a california man.

Well i cross my mamma so bad
And this a woman's just a making me mad.
So i don't care if your legs start aching,
I'm a california man.
Oh my, i'm a california man.

Oh my legs start to shiver
When i hear you call my name.
Well, my knees keep a knocking,
And i'm feeling tired bugs me down.

An' when we take off fine,
An' my jeans are way down low.
When i waggle my hips
It's making me feel like a king of rock n' roll

Chorus

Don't know why
It's the strangest thing
It's no lie
Don't know what's happening

Chorus: i know that you know that
It's a matter of fact
I know that you know that
It's a matter of fact

Don't want to stay
But i don't want to go oh who oh
Don't want to say it
But you already know oh wo oh

Chorus

Tell me now
What is that thing you do
Tell me how
I keep thinking of you

Chorus

If it's gone
Come out and say it
Don't go on
Living in make believe

Chorus

I know that you know that
I know that you know that
I know that you know that
I know that you know that

Chorus

Well her sister used to hate it,
So i never thought she'd make it.
But she threw you all
Supposing in a spangle wrapper.

She will let you stroke her head,
But if you move away your dead.
She just break you up
Before you realize it's happened.

Chorus:
But she can really do the brontosaurus
And she can scream the heeby jeeby for us.
Until you know what she's really got
'cos she can do it loud
Well, she can do it, do it, do it!

Now her daddy's getting old
And he seemed to lose control
When the brontosaurus
Stormed into the house to trap her.

Well her sister used to hate it
So i never thought she'd make it.
Until she shook you up
Exactly like a firecracker

Chorus:
Really do the brontosaurus
And she can scream the hee-by jee-by for us.
Well you know she can really rock
So do it, do it now.

Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Feels like another day, i wouldn't know
My love's away, from home today

Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Wait 'til the morning sunshine
It's just the memory, of sunshine
In the morning, being close to me

And it was.....

Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Seems like the world is late, for i can't wait
For sunshine in the morning

Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Wait 'til the morning sunshine

In the land they call the west
On the prarie's virgin crest
Lived a great man and his braves
And he led them to their graves

Big chief plays with baby son
The work of the indian today is done
Life is easy, life is grand
'til there is white man, gun in hand

Started out when settlers came
And built their homes on the indian range
Big chief woolly bosher liked it none
Traded with a bad man for a gun

Big chief looks out at his great land
Locomotive on the prairie stands
Life that leak from the city in the east
Let us destroy that iron beast

Big chief rides on the trail tonight
Tread the land for which he must fight
In their fight for love and glory
Some indians were saved
They lived to tell the story
And woolly bosher prays

Big chief rides on the trail tonight
Soldier boys marching in the morning light
Bring the guns, bring the bows
Let's blow them into heaven let's see if god knows

One hundred men must have to die
When a thousand soldiers look you in the eye
Big chief sees his men fall round
The soldiers kill and the bugle sounds

In their fight for love and glory
No indians were saved
And big chief woolly bosher
Had written on his grave
He has done no wrong
Except being bold

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what i just heard
There's gonna be a party all over the world

I got a message on the radio, but where it came from i don't really know
And i heard these voices calling all over the world

Chorus:
All over the world, everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight

Everybody walkin' down the street, everybody movin' to the beat
They're gonna get hot down in the u.s.a. (new york, detroit, l.a.)

We're gonna take a trip across the sea, everybody come along with me
We're gonna hit the night down in gay pareee

Chorus

(instrumental break)

London, hamburg, paris, rome, rio, hong kong, tokyo
L.a., new york, amsterdam, monte carlo, shard end and

Chorus

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what i just heard
Everybody walkin' down the street, i know a place where we all can meet
Everybody gonna have a good time, everybody will shine till the daylight

Chorus

All over the world, everybody got the word (repeats 3x)

The next train arrives on here at five o nine
I'm standing where my daddy used to be
To follow his footsteps takes me three stops down the line
Down to the ben crawley steel company

Well i tried my hand at ranching but this didn't come off
Seems nothing in that for me
It always tried my patience which i haven't enough
I'm destined to work in a steel company

Just you wait at home for me little woman
By now i should know how lovely you will be
Waiting by the door for me little woman
Now i wont moan when i get home from the ben crawley steel company

When crawley makes the jokes and four guys laugh a lot
Damn, force a grin if you can
I got so many words on the tip of my tongue to shoot him down
But he'd soon replace a mere steel driving man

Just you wait at home for me little woman
Although i know you won't be as tired as me
Waiting by the door for me little woman [my true lovin' woman]
Well i won't slack when i get back from the ben crawley steel company

Well i've had my fill and it's giving me hell, now it's time for hate
Thanks mister for telling me
So i'll shoot if i can and i won't [don't] give a damn about playing it
Straight
My friends and the lord know what he's done [he did] to me

He's being staying at home with my little woman
Playing in the fields where i should always be
It's hard to forgive my own little woman
And to find a job 'cos i just blew up that steel company
Heh!

I wander through a town
A town i new so well but it seems so strange
The wind blows cold
I remember when i thought your street was paved with gold
I walked along the street
A street i walked along many times before
The things have changed
Everything i knew was gone or rearranged

Chorus: julie don't live here anymore
She moved away many years before
How can it be, this i can't believe
Julie don't live here anymore

I walked up to your door
Last night i saw your face in the window
But it was different now
The lonely light where we used to be quite gone

I though about your smile
Your laughing eyes and the things you said to me
I felt so sorry for you
For all the nights we spent hanging around with nothing else to do

Chorus

Chorus

Julie don't live here anymore
Julie don't live here anymore
Julie don't live here anymore

Dear, when you smile at me
I hear a melody
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me
Started a symphony
Zing went the strings of my heart

Whoa now the breath of spring
Whoa i heard a robin sing
About a nest... apart
All that you seem to be
End up in harmony
Zing went the strings of my heart

I still recall the thrill
I guess i always will
I hope we'll never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine
A rhapsody divine
Zing went the strings of my heart
Zing went the strings of my heart
Zing zing zing zing

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless

I thought about it but i couldn't think of what to say
But i thought about it anyway.......yeah
I tried to tell you what you mean to me
But it didn't come so easily..........no

I never reckoned
For more than a second
Just how it would be on my own

I'd be helpless, without you
I'd be helpless, without you

The dawn that calls beyond the night
Tells its old story.
The shadows fade into the light
In all it's glory.

Helpless
Helpless baby i'm a helpless
Helpless baby
I'm a helpless

If i could put a good shine on the past
Do you think that we could make it last - oh yeah
Seems to mind the time goes fast
I wonder if the vote is cast

Now that you mention it,
Got my attention
I quite clearly blew me away

I'd be helpless, without you
I'd be helpless, without you

The dawn that calls beyond the night
Tells its old story.
The shadows fade into the light
In all it's glory.

Helpless
Helpless baby i'm a helpless
Helpless baby
I'm a helpless, without you
I'd be helpless, without you

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless

Pie in the sky
Who's to say why it won't happen
Mountains of dreams
Floods like a stream running down them
Through rocky glades
We'll find a way
We want to, so maybe we may

Pie in the sky
Never say die and keep trying
Mountains of dreams
Eyes brightly gleam and you're sighing
We made it then
Needn't say when
I want you again and again

Pie in the sky
Words that imply something stupid
Mountains of dreams
Loving you seemed so illusive
Still we kept on
Nothing went wrong
Together we proved love is strong

Pie in the sky
Who's to say why it won't happen
Mountains of dreams
Floods like a stream running down them
Through rocky glades
We'll find a way
Forever, together we'll stay

Far beyond the things you see
Time rolls on eternally
Got a thing about it
Just can't live without it

Sitting there inside your mind
Just waiting for the clock to chime
On a lonely line
Stood a lonely man

No pictures on an empty wall
No body there no one at all
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still

Days line up outside the door
Thought time had stopped there was no more
Been a lonely world
Such a lonely world

No pictures on an empty wall
No toulouse, vincent, or pablo
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still

No big machine or april showers
No submarines no plastic flowers
Just echoes in the ivory towers
When time stood still

When time stood still

When time stood still

When time stood still

When i was a little boy
My mama dropped me on my head
I felt kinda dizzy but the doctor
Made note of all i did

Chorus
Ever since then theres been a slight disturbance in my mind
A kind of disarrangement that the surgeons cannot find

At the age of seven i just couldnt read my abc
But i gave my teacher tips on how the caveman used to be

Chorus

Reach the age of 21 aint got no...to fit my clothes
Day and night im looning around
Dont know what im looking for

Will they carry me away?
Oh will they carry me away?

I was 97 and im sure my brain it had enough
Racing round in jet planes cause
My sports car aint quite fast enough

Chorus

Will they carry me away?
Oh will they carry me away?

Your coming up the walk,
Your banging on the door
The seconds of the loneliness
Are coming through the floor

Let it run, let it run, let it run
And out of the band comes a guitar man
Singing come on let it run

Called up alone gathered up the light
Told everyone that everything's was going fine

Let it run, let it run, let it run
From out of the corner cam johnny be good
Singing come on let it run

Whoa, and up above the stars are bright
And well let it run let it run tonight

Up above the stars are bright
Let it run let it run tonight, tonight, tonight

It's getting louder now it's pounding at my brain
And if it ever stops i'm gonna start it up again

Let it run, let it run, let it run
From out of the valley came long tall sally
Singing come on let it run

I'm already gone let it run
Come on let it run

Oh it's a long long time from may to december
And the days grow short when you reach september
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
And you ain't got time for waiting game

When days dwindle down to a precious few
September november, and these few golden days i'd share with you
Those golden days i share with you

When the days dwindle down to a precious few
September november, and all those golden days i'd share with you
Those golden days i'd share with you

Those golden days i'd share with you
Those golden days i'd share with you

Everybody sat here waiting for the train to come
Just lay down a bright red carpet for her to step on
Lookin' to the bend i see her waving her hands at me
Her looks were tanned and quite amazing as she ran to me

Hello susie, hello susie
Tell me the news about yourself
Hello susie, hello susie
Tell me that you've enjoyed yourself

Frantically she knocked me over
Causing such a scene
Shook the crowd enough to sway

The interest from the queen
Her black transistor socked out
One o'clock radio
Completely drowned the band
And loud enough to stop the show

Chorus

Yes sir rock 'n' roll the day away
Come on everybody
They all seem too keen to make the scene
Come on everybody, come on everybody
Got to dig me just a while

I was... threw her bags into the car
Susie took her bow and made her exit like a star
The national news took films which... to make history
Her looks were tanned and quite amazing as she ran to me

Chorus

This crappy west coast hippie scene is becoming quite a drag
It seems that all my freaky clothes are turning into rag
The time has come to break the strings
Free to form constructive things
Tear the world right off its hinges

Chorus
Vote for me
Vote for me
Sign across the line
Vote for me
Vote for me
We can overtake the world

For some millions in this place and their views are never heard
They take precautions just in case you say a dirty word
With adverts comments they promote
Re-elections antidote, just a game to catch your vote

Chorus

Take up your pen
You won't regret it
Never met such an opportunity
For the people who are in the way
Make a new election day

Please correct me if i seem to be making too much noise
In this profession people rush to cut you down to size
So after all the seats are played
Dig my brain with a golden spade
Theres a fortune to be made

Chorus and repeat

Someone knocked my door 'round about half past four this morning
Despite what i said, i was out of bed still yawning
Well that's it once again, someone knocking
Going through my head wish they'd stop it

I walked down the stairs just a little bit scared - apprehensive
With a few judged words that shouldn't be heard reprehencin'
Well that's it once again, someone knocking
Going through my head wish they'd stop it

So i opened up just to take a look, was i dreamin'?
There was no-one there just the cold night air - i was dreamin'

Going through my head wish they'd stop it

The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
But you don't realize just what they say
You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done
It makes me feel so sad to think what i might've had
I watch the stars, i watch the sun, now i watch for anyone
But it's only make believe

You work, you work, you work so hard and then
Someone, someone will come around again
You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel
The places that i go don't feel good anymore
I see it all rainbows in fall i see her face upon my wall
But it's only make believe

Fly away, bluebird fly away for me
To a place somewhere far across the sea
Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today
The waves that crash upon the sand
Another place, a far off land
And every day, i have to stay, but you are free
You could fly away-
But it's only make believe

Sweet little girls and your money
No she don't wanna know me at all ooh ooh
Who's she gonna use?
What's she gonna lose?
Been with ella james too long

Time to get up but i can't afford a cab
To the job where i work not at all ooh ooh
Have you got a hand?
Give it to me man
Been with ella james too long - alright!

Who's she gonna lose?
What's she gonna use now?
She was hasting to get me down
Will she ever pass to another class now?
And she's waiting to throw me down - alright!

Sweet little girls and your money
No you she don't wanna know me at all ooh ooh
Who's she gonna use?
What's she gonna lose?
Been with ella james too long - alright!

Who's she gonna lose?
What's she gonna use now?
She was hasting to get me down
Will she ever pass to another class now?
And she's waiting to throw me down

Sweet little girl came a running to the door
When she told me he'd gone ooh ooh
I've just had a ball
Not too bad at all
Thank you ella james so long, so long

Daylight comes to those who live
But those who die they never see the sun come
Shining through their window pane they pass away.
Silly girl to be a fool, you didn't play the golden rule,
'cos once you're through with one world,
There's another waiting there.

Chorus
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

Looking from this empty room,
The corridors of endless gloom go crawling through the night,
To meet the dawn that's on its way.
Oh to sleep, per-chance to dream,
To live again those joyous scenes,
The laughter and the follies that are locked inside my head.

Chorus
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

I can dream of flying high,
Above the city's cares and never be afraid of anyone
'cos there ain't no one there.

Chorus
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

There she is im sure i seen her
Pushing in the queue to get to the front
Join the ladies in my dream
I know that nothing hurts you babe
In my balance in a way

Chorus

Come and take a ride on my omnibus
We could take you right to the terminus
Dont forget your ticket if you want to ride
(catching a ride)
If you want to go inside

Just a dud their hansom falter (?)
Harem on a bus flies over the top
...jeans
Lock up your daughters

Just too late to save the day
Ring my bell and turn away

Chorus

Sweet silver meadows
Protect us from the rain
Please never break
Take us to the stars again
Hear the ways for every where
See my sleighs win the air

Save the girls upstairs for later
Now you wonder if i can manage them all
Wrap them up in christmas paper
Tell them they dont have to pay
Ring my bell and turn away

Chorus

Omnibus ride
Omnibus ride

Remember what you told me
That you would always be there
If you change your mind now

Oh, what would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Here comes another night
And all the stars are shining
Could i make it right

Woh, what would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Ohhh, what would it take
Whooo, what would it take
To save me

What would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Ohhh, what would it take
Whooo, what would it take
To save me

Of all the things i do
And everywhere they take me
You know what i go through

What would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

What would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

She's got me stolen
So you wonder why
Man i was rollin'
She has all i got

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

Met her in the garden
Taking the stairway home
Something hits me harder
Hits me like a stone

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

If it should be questioned
I can feel the heat
Mind her reflection
Stops you in the street

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

I feel too good
Feel too good feel too good
Yeah hey yeah
What can you do?

Love changes all
Love changes all
I never knew it was on my mind

But love changes all (love changes all)
Love changes all (love changes all)

You came along
You sang my song
I never knew if you would ever call

But love changes all (love changes all)
Love changes all (love changes all)

Go on, don't let it get away
Save it another day
In your life
Don't let it slip away in the night

Love changes all (love changes all)
Love changes all (love changes all)

Go on, don't let it get away
Save it another day
In your life
Don't let it slip away in the night

What could i do?
There was me and there were you
I didn't know what i'd got on my mind

But love changes all (love changes all)
Love changes all (love changes all)

Love changes all
Love changes all
Love changes all, etc.

The silent night has turned to a night of fear
With windows howling wind into your ear
You listen to the spirits far behind
These things you hear are too much for your mind

The bell strikes and your spine chills like the grave
The chill that turns your blood from red to grey
You know that with these things you see and hear
The silent night has turned to a night of fear

Image on your bedroom wall
Shadows marching in the hall
Just about to flip your mind
Just about to trip your mind
Just about to flip your mind
Just about to trip your mind

The green and purple lights affect your sight
Your mother cannot comfort you tonight
Your brain calls out for help that's never there
The silent night has turned to a night of fear

My friends and i took a walk today
To a place we've been before
We flipped around like a wild machine
Till we stopped down by the store

Someone said
Let's go for a walk upon the water
Let's go for a stroll across the sea
First one, follow me

Amidst my thoughts didn't feel inclined
To drift into the bay
By now my friends, could see their minds
As i watched them drift away, all singing

Chorus

Final boarding time
Now their souls are washed up
Faith destroyed their minds
Better get the life inspector
Bring along his mind director

You know i'm innocent
I just didn't expect their trip to last
With the gale force that crossed their path
I could see them sinking fast, still singing

Chorus

Final boarding time
Now their souls are washed up
Faith destroyed their minds
Better get the life inspector
Bring along his mind director

This tale of common sense will end on
Please don't drink and drive
Especially when you're driving friends
Along the waterside, still singing

Chorus

Chorus

Follow me, follow me, follow me

Chorus

Take me to the heart of you,
Take me to the heart of you,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to the heart of you.

Take me to your heart and then
Take me to your heart and then
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to your heart again.

Take me where the fields are green,
Take me where the fields are green,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me where the fields are green.

Take me to your heart somehow,
Take me to your heart somehow,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me cause i need you now.

Take me to cross your borderline,
Take me to cross your borderline,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to cross your borderline.

Take me where i wanna be,
Take me from this misery,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me where i wanna be.

Take me to the heart of you,
Take me to the heart of you,
Take me to the heart of you,
The heart of you...
The heart of you...

Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
And yellow roses gathered all around me;
The time was still approaching four
I couldn't stand it anymore
Saw marigolds upon my eider down.

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow,
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool.

So i lay upon my side with all the windows opened wide
Couldn't pressurize my head from speaking
Hoping not to make a sound i pushed my bed into the grounds
In time to catch the sight that i was seeking.

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow,
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool.

If this perfect pleasure has the key
Then this is how it has to be
If my pillow's getting wet
I don't see that it matters much to me.

I heard the flowers in the breeze make conversation with the trees
Believed to leave reality behind me
With my commitments in a mess my sleep has gone away depressed
In a world of fantasy you'll find me.

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow,
I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain
Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool.

Yes she's leaving on the train
Never coming back again
The lines go far ahead
Got a job fixed in the city
Wants to be a star she's pretty
And i don't get a part

So please no more sad songs
I've heard enough today
Isn't it nice holding you tight, remember?

Left a note here on the floor
Where she used to knock the door
I found when i got home
Said you're gonna be a singer
Be a star and real swinger
I hope it's very nice

So please no more sad songs
I've heard enough today
Isn't i t nice holding you tight, remember?

Thought she was joking when i looked around
Went to her room and saw her things had gone
She must have flown, ahhh

Yes she's left upon the train
Never coming back again
The lines went far away
Got her job in the big city
She became a star so pretty
Now i don't know her name

So please no more sad songs
I've heard enough today
Isn't it nice holding you tight, remember?

(repeat)

Isn't it nice holding you tight, remember?

Played too hard and he died too young
To be certain of earning his [burnt out/word of?] love
He won a place in history
And his name will live eternally

Lived the life of a movie star
And he waved to the people from a big black car
Down in a book with the greatest names
As a lonely maid cried take [in/the?] pain

Tell me a story minister
There ain't no time left to lose

Ten man tried in the dead of night
??? the great man's final words to right
In a room that was soft and red
The great man spoke outside my head

Tell me a story minister
There ain't no time left to lose

Sister jane has a little book
Full of autographs of useless people
Seems a waste in the time she took
And it gets me mad which makes us equal

Ooh, hundreds of people left out in the cold
Wearing the shoes that were silver and gold
Useless information
Tons of useless information
Seems to fill my head
With nowhere else to go
(isn't it amazing)

Mrs. pain at the dairy game
With the news about her operation
Will the... ever make the rain
Wash away such useless information

Chorus

Isn't it amazing
Now you can see why conversation is dying
And time is passing you by

Turn your ears to the weatherman
Saying it be colder in december
Get your boots and your....
It's been the same for years
So i remember

Chorus

Chorus

Hundreds of people filling my head with useless information

Chorus

There was peace and quiet for me
Down the walk, beside the sea
Things are going wrong, boy
Things are going wrong

I used to wake up in the morning
To the sound of the birds singing at my window
Please wait for me
I'll be there at the end of the road

Now the good things gone with the wind
It's back today, i've moved away
Things are going wrong, boy
Things are going wrong

I used to wake up in the morning
To the sound of the birds singing at my window
Please wait for me
I'll be there at the end of the road

Bury a jar of shao-sing
When the girl is born
Surely you know the wine will age
Till shes fully grown
Dont fly into the night
Soon enough the world will end
While the lantern is right

Chorus

I could find a good time girl in chinatown
Chinatown
Dancing in my shoes
See the eastern ladies walking chinatown
Chinatown
Chain me down
Chinatown

Maybe ill drink your jasmine tea
Then ill hurry home
Surely you know the likes of me
Should be left alone
Why they like a me for
Soon enough the world will end
If i answer the door

Chorus

Look at the tall pagoda through
Through your window pane
Watching it by your dragon night
On a cocoa day
Youll discover the white
Orchids in my humble moon
While the lantern is right

Chorus

Sun is shining for me
I'll be on my way
I'll be rolling along, cos i need to
Feel alright
From the evening till the early light
Nowhere to go but its on with the show

Wander down in the lane (?)
I'll be strolling to
I do a brave show for you , don't you know i
Feel alright
From the evening to the early light
Nowhere to go but its on with the show

Feel alright
From the evening to the early light
Nowhere to go but its on with the show

You couldn't make it easy if you tried
So i'm gonna save it for the girl outside
I'll take her on a magic carpet ride
We could walk the clouds together
Stay in love forever

If you don't answer what i feel inside
I might try to make it with the girl outside
And all our thoughts together we'll confide
We'll see fairytale cities
When following the lands of love

Who needs the girl outside
When i can ride the time and life with you
Why don't you turn around
And look at me, i often wish i knew you

You overstepped the mark so run and hide
Cause i'm gonna take it to the girl outside
I won't cast all my little dreams aside
Every flowers hide their faces
By... their places

Who needs the girl outside
When i can ride the time and life with you
Why don't you turn around
And look at me, i often wish i knew you

You couldn't make it easy if you tried
So i'm gonna save it for the girl outside
I'll take her on a magic carpet ride
We could walk the clouds together
Stay in love forever

She sparkle like my jean
She more than seventeen
Seems keen in other words
She must have been
A former beauty queen
Now shes a naughty girl

Chorus

Wild wild wild tiger woman
(wild wild wild wild)
You move me very fast
But can you last another day
Get out of the way
Wild wild tiger woman
(wild wild wild wild)
You gonna break youre little fall
They call her the wild tiger woman

Tied to the bed
Tied to the bed
Shes waitin to be fed
No pay to sir aday (?)
Cant see an ounce of reason in her head
Dont laugh and turn away

Chorus

Need another girl to come and grab her by the tail
As i was hoping that the ground would open up and take me in
Life is so obscene and the remarks that go unseen
Are being diminished to the earth
Ill never find another girl

All in the race
Such a friendly face
Seems clean and upper-class
Young indecisive
Minds are in a maze
She lose me very fast

Chorus

Did your friend tell you that i called today?
Did your friend tell you that i'm sad at losing you?
Did he tell you that i shouldn't cry?
Did he tell you that i had no pride?

Your friend
Your friend

Did your friend tell you that i called today?
Did your friend tell you that i'm gonna grieve for you?
Did he tell you that i cried aloud
To the sky and to the watching crowd?

Your friend
Your friend

Just the thought, of even losing you, makes everything i do
Jus' wanna sigh, and cry, and die

Did your friend tell you that i called today?
Did your friend tell you that i'm sad at losing you?
Did he tell you that i shouldn't cry?
Did he tell you that i had no pride?

Your friend
Your friend
Your friend

Blackberry way absolutely pouring down with rain,
It's a terrible day.
Up with the lark, silly girl i don't know what to say,
She was running away.
But now i'm standing on the corner,
Lost in the things that i said.
What am i supposed to do now?

Goodbye blackberry way
I can't see you, i don't need you.
Goodbye blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day.

Flowers in the park overgrowing but the trees are bare
There's a memory there.
Boats on the lake, unattended now for all to drown
I'm incredibly down.
Just like myself they are neglected,
Turn with my eyes to the wall
What am i supposed to do now?

Goodbye blackberry way
I can't see you, i don't need you.
Goodbye blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day.

Run for the train, look behind you for she may be there
Said a thing in the air
Blackberry way, see the battlefield of careless sins
Cast to the winds
So full of emptiness without her,
Lost in the words that i said.
What am i supposed to do now?

Goodbye blackberry way
I can't see you, i don't need you.
Goodbye blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day.

Goodbye blackberry way
I can't see you, i don't need you.
Goodbye blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day.

In the town lived a girl so fair
Her mother would not dare
To let her anywhere
She was a lonely girl

John and paul and ringo and george
Were playing lovely tunes
From the window of her room
By the light of the moon

Hey girl there at the window i wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you so much i want you to see

In the fields lived a lonely boy
Who'd wander every night
Just to see her window light
Then he was happier

Then he'd sit upon the ground
Just to listen to the sound
Of the music going round
And he would call to her

Hey girl there at the window i wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you so much i want you to see

One night her mother said i think it's time for bed
The little girl crept down the stairs free as a bird

Hey girl there at the window i wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you so much i want you to see

She met the boy sitting on the ground
And they listened to the sound
Growing distant as they found
They were happy now

Hey girl there at the window i wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you so much i want you to see

(repeat)

Did you meet the lady who said she could fly
She broke off her wings when she fell from the sky
The effort was brave and she gave a sigh
Now i'll sail through the sky on my own, my oh my

I can fly through the air
I can fly anywhere
I can fly through the sky
And just see if i care

When she was a girl she would jump rather high
Then she fell in love with the air and the sky
She discovered her wings and she gave a loud cry
Now i'll sail through the sky on my own, my oh my

I can fly through the air
I can fly anywhere
I can fly through the sky
And just see if i care

Back to the story

Now she's been repaired and her wings are as new
She's laughing and dancing way up in the blue
But look she has gone, where could she go to?
Her wings were so silver, her halo so new

I can fly through the air
I can fly anywhere
I can fly through the sky
And just see if i care

(repeat)

I have a trainset and a garage full of cars
And a soldier with a gun
My mother says i should have more resposibility
As i'm nearly 31

I have a plane, i have a crane
That can lift up all my trains and all my cars
I have a boat that doesn't float
But a big machine that takes me to the stars

But my mother says i should get a job
Or my father she will tell
She says 16 years is a long enough rest
Though i say that i'm not well

I have a trainset and a garage full of cars
And a soldier with a gun
My mother says she'll break up all my toys and all my games
And she'll say i'm not her son

But your mother says you should get a job
Or your father she will tell
She says 16 years is a long enough rest
Though you say that you're not well

I had a plane, i had a crane
That could lift up all my trains and all my cars
I had a boat that couldn't float
So my machine and me are going to the stars

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather since my girl and i ended it together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bad gloomy misery everywhere
Stormy weather just can't seem to get my self together
I'll be here all the time

Oh yeah, since she went away the blues walked in and met me
If she stays away a rocking chair will get me
All i do is pray the lord will let me walk in the sun once more

Oh yeah, since she went away the blues walked in and met me
If she stays away a rocking chair will get me
All i do is pray the lord will let me walk in the sun once more

Can't go on everything i had is gone
Stormy weather, since my gal and i ended it together
Keeps raining all the time, keeps raining all the time

Stormy weather, stormy weather, stormy weather
Keeps raining all the time

There's a girl next door to me who's round the bend
But she wonders why she can't make any friends
From her garden she could see me
In her silver-clad bikini
Singing, dancing round her fruit tree

Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, can't you hear me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, don't come near me

Could i calm her down by throwing stones at her
If only i could make the right approach to her
Think i'd rather tame a tiger
Turn those lemons into cider
Still i'd like to get beside her

Chorus

Three o'clock in the morning
I could her her toneless singing
I could smell her lemon perfume in the air
I walked up to the window
In the hope that i might see her
Could the deadly shade of night still bring her there

Chorus

Morning came and into action went my plans
Went to meet her dressed in bright green underpants
I crept in and sang discreetly
Seemed to change your mind discreetly
Danced together singing sweetly

Chorus

Chorus

They used to tell me boy you ain't goin' nowhere
With your cheap guitar and your big long hair
You gotta realize all your responsibilities
You gotta get out to work and face reality

You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road

So i drifted for a while down the road to ruin
I couldn't find my way i didn't know what i was doin'
I saw a lot of people coming back the other way
So i kept on goin' when i heard them say

"you gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road"

I made a lot of money i was makin' quite a mess
But they all told me money wouldn't bring me happiness
"you gotta work like a man in a real man's life
You're gonna have to take all the trouble and strife"

You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road

Ah sweet little lady used to drive me crazy
Had to stick around to play

Chorus

Down on the bay
Thats where i stay
The clouds are gray
Down on the bay
And thats my home
Cant leave my woman alone

Dont know what im missing
But i wouldnt miss the kissing
With lily cause she looks so fine

Chorus

Walking with my lily
Down a road thats pretty chilly
But she makes it like a summer day

Chorus

Sure look so delighted
And im getting so excited
Every time you start to play
Down on the bay

Down on the bay
Thats where i stay

Repeat

A-sittin on the bay
Thats where i stay
Thats where i stay

Down on the bay
Thats where ill stay

Down on the...
Thats where ill...

I can tell by the way
There aint no lights in the windows
And by the way your curtains hang
Yeah, i know which way the wind blows

I said no, i said no, i said no, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

You went away, what a heavy load
You must have took it with you
Down and out, to no thanks to boat
But no one can get ya

I said no, i said no, i said no, ain't nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

I said nobody, nobody home

From the way that you act
I guess you haven't been there
By the look in your eyes
There's nobody been there

I said no, i said no, i said no, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

I said nobody, nobody, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

I said no, i said no, i said no no no, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

I said nobody, nobody home
Nobody home, nobody home

Aint nobody home, nobody home,
Nobody home
Nobody home
Nobody home
Nobody home

If you hear somebody knocking on your door
See somebody crawling out across the floor
Baby it'll be me
And i'll be looking for you

If you see somebody climbing up a telegraph pole
You find a new love then you shut the door
It'll be me
And i'll be looking for you

Chorus

I want to search in the city
Where might you be
I want to search the countryside
I want...

If you find a new bait on your fishing hook
You see a funny face in your comic book
It'll be me
And i'll be looking for you

Chorus

Repeat last verse

Chorus

Said i'll be looking for you
I'm gonna be looking for you

A bunch of dead flowers, kept in a vase
And its all that remind me of you
Why do i keep them, well might you ask

They're all that remind me of you

Two seperate people, two seperate ways
And i hope they may pass again
Withered and dead like, your love for me

And they're all that remind me of you
Once fresh and green now no, honey for the bee

They're all that remind me of you

A bunch of dead flowers kept in a vase
And they're all that remind me of you
Why do i keep them, well might you ask

They're all that remind me of you

They're all that remind me of you
They're all that remind me of you

I see the faces on my picture one is you
I see the reasons why the picture just ain't true

I'm going home
I'm gonna be there one of these mornings
Gonna break away on the thirteenth of july
I'm going home

Going home

The dust collector keeps on banging at my door
Tales of the wild west, i can't mean it anymore

I'm going home
I'm gonna be there one of these mornings
Gonna break away on the thirteenth of july
I'm going home

Going home

And i'll be there one of these mornings
Walk down the road and there you are, yes i am
Maybe i'll see you if i can

Break away, from one of these memories
Walk down the road and there you are, yes i am
Maybe i'll see you if i can

I'm going home
I'm gonna be there one of these mornings
Gonna break away on the thirteenth of july
I'm going home

Going home
Going home
Going home
Going home

I wake and yawn at the crack of dawn
With dewdrops on my feet
As i rise up to greet the morning
Nothing much to eat
Every breath i take seems to make my body ache
My only friend is mist on a monday morning

Pick up my sack and walk for miles
Never thinking why
To the brewer's yard where i can sit
And watch my life go by
Drink and drink all day till my memory melts away
I need a friend like mist on a monday morning

Where's my wife, has she gone
I hear misty morning call
One foot resting in the grave
Destined not to see her anymore

There's a den in the grass by the autopath
Of corrugated steel
I may be sleeping there tonight
And depending how i feel
Damp and dirty place
Printing sorrow on my face
With nothing but the mist on a monday morning

Chorus

From... i feel the sin
Like wheels upon my feet
Intoxicated by the night
I stumbled in the street
Every breath i take seems to make my body ache
And drift into the mist on a monday morning

Here the roar a coming
Here the roar a coming
Here the roar a coming now

Got news for your mother
Got news for your mother
Got news for your mother tonight

Sister i have touched the evergreen
And i promise that it's life should go unseen
Now it [saves/says?] the birds upon the fire
And the message from the country rises higher

Hear the birdie calling
Hear the birdie calling
Hear the birdie calling for life

Message from the country
Message from the country
Message from the country rising high

Sister i have touched the evergreen
And i promise that it's life should go unseen
Now it [saves/says?] the birds upon the fire
And the message from the country rises higher

I often sit alone up in a tree
Waving to the ones that wave at me
I think well just how stupid can they be
Waving to a man up in a tree

What they don't know is i am counting them
I even count the ladies and the men
I put the numbers in my little book
And only me can ever have a look

All i ask is a piece of mind
Which i lost somewhere down amongst the mess
All i want is for people to be kind
And walk slower to be counted when they pass

I think well just how stupid can they be
Waving to a man up in a tree

I know that i will have to stop my fun
When i meet a girl who i can not count on
Maybe marry her and happy we would be
Not counting but a-sitting up a tree
I put the numbers in my little book
And only me can ever have a look
I think well just how stupid can they be
Waving to a man up in a tree

There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours i keep
Learning to sleep again, see her face again
Blast the world, fruits of the morning...
Carry the weight of the heart in a storm
Suffer the dawn today, today

Your beautiful daughter made me younger today
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay

Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break
Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share
Wanting you there today, today

Chorus

Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye
I'm crying, beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep
Can you imagine the hours i keep
Learning to sleep again, again

Chorus
Chorus

Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door

Chorus

Discovered that the papers have been signed
To my bed i am confined
Owing to my state of mind

Special food for thought i must be fed
The authorities have said im going off my head

Suddenly from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my bed...
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the moon.

Cherry blossom clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry blossom clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

In this sad position where i lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by

Doctor pays a visit
Everyday i keep asking for my dad
They must think i'm going mad

Lift the blankets off my face
Quick before i suffocate
Trying hard to meditate

Tell the people, "what a scene"
Write a letter to the queen
Asking her if she can come to tea

Chorus

Up above the sun is high
Like a tea tray in the sky
Helicopter lands upon my bed
Phantom horses quickly fade
Turning into lemonade
Probably feel better when i'm dead

Chorus

The people throwing pennies in my soup
Expecting me to be ashamed of you
Now my needs are growing and i'm groping round
I am really groping round

We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom
It wasn't my idea to dance

The prince of thunder gave his warning speech
His talons dared to grasp you from my reach
Once again you clutch me to your warming breast
Now i lay me down to rest

We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom
It wasn't my idea to dance

As dawn is nearing
I'm hearing tearful music

So i have given you the will to weep
For now you're at your last and final peak
Dangerously the past it explodes about by ears
Loudly ringing through my ears

We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom

It wasn't my idea to dance
It wasn't my idea to dance

Now the time has nearly come
You watch the setting sun
This time tomorrow ill be gone

Here nothing could be bad
No one to feel sad
This time tomorrow looking back

Yes ill miss those happy days
As the sunset meets my gaze
Ill remember that i love you

So this is how it ends
I'd love to make amends
This time tomorrow well be friends

Repeat last two verses

Mmmmhmmm la da da da da la oh....

They don't write songs like that anymore!

You turn me off, and then you leave me in here
And then i'm scratching at, your door, begging you for, some more
You make me hide, so your friends can come inside, and tell me to be quiet
I make some noise and i hear this haggled voice yelling "hey what's the riot?"
And i hear you say...

It's only the dog
Or maybe the cat
Or maybe the bird
Uh huh honey it's only me

He jumps off, his chair, said "i'm a gonna look in there"
My heart hits, the floor, as he came toward the door
He opened up to see, and fortunately for me, i resembled sherpa jacket
He closed the door, admitted he was wrong, about all the racket
Then i heard you say...

It's only the dog
Or maybe the cat
Or maybe it's that bird
Uh huh honey it's only me

Finally, your friends, say they're gonna be goin'
Couldn't wait to hear, "hey, you come out now boy, it's all clear"
Gave me the sign, i was out in record time, but to my surprise
From under the bed came my friend ed
From behind the drapes came 'cousin and along with the guys'
Now what you gonna say?

It's only the dog
Or maybe the cat
Or maybe it's that bird
Uh huh honey it's only me
