1. _ Or So They Say
Or i've never been able to stand on a table without using both of my feet i've always resisted the choice that was listed whenever i sat down to eat. now don't think me rude but that dress is so
Cut your navel is sticking out and not that i'm curious but seeing how low yours is i wonder where mine is about. i read in the newspapers only today that tomorrow's will be even better liquid d
Ent is now guaranteed to absorb all the dirt from your sweater or so they say. we once had a neighbour who came from jamaica (no - she came of her own accord) who talked with an accent like that
Dachshund whose cousin the queen had adored. oh how would you like it if i was invited to lords on the first day of play i'm no gary sobers but i can bowl overs in quite an unorthodox way. now
Et's a game that can baffle us all it's the silly mid-on that gets me silly or not, it's enthralling to watch only maidens of course disagree. or so they say. life is so often a dullish affair i
O wonder that crime has incre
Ased what does it matter, if there's no hereafter we're here after all just to breathe or so they say. and as i finish playing this is my way of saying "the end."

3. _ Why Pretend
Oh everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
And everyone knows
You're on your own
Why not let it end
Your baby's gone
And you're all alone
So why pretend.
Every time
You're not at home
You say that she's with you
Isn't it time
You made it known
That she isn't with you
She's far away
And there she will stay
Oh why pretend
You didn't want her
When her heart grew fonder
Oh, of you by her side
You didn't love her
So she found another
Oh, why pretend
It's got to end.
'cos everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
You didn't want her
When her heart grew fonder
Oh, of you by her side
You didn't love her
So she found another
Oh, why pretend
It's got to end
Oh everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
And everyone knows
That you're on your own
Why not let it end
Your baby's gone
And you're all alone
So why pretend.

4. _ The Niceness Of It All
It's the niceness of it all baby it's the niceness of it all whether you are close to me or far it doesn't matter in the least as long as i can be with you any time i need to like the baby that'
T starting to grow it's the niceness of it all that makes me love you more & more. and it's the niceness of it all baby, it's the niceness of it all that makes me write to you and say how mu
Ve missed you over the weeks that makes me call you on the phone whenever there's a chance to speak and even if there's only time to say hello it's the niceness of it all, that makes me love you
& more. i don't know what's come over me i've hardly touched a drink my mother thinks it's marvelous he's off the road to sin she thinks you're just the tonic that i need and who am i to ar
Fter all isn't that what i believe it's the niceness of it all baby it's the niceness of it all if i can't be with you for a week then a day will .have to do i won't say that that's enough but t
Eggars can't be choosers and besides
If nothing else at least i know it's the niceness of it all that makes me love you more & more. every time i see a shadow i think what a blessing it must be not to have to talk with fingers
O have to look with nothing to see you try living your life to the full confined to a chair try and hide your loneliness when none is there.

5. _ Can't Get Enough Of You
There's nothing in the world that i'd like more than to be left standing outside your door where perhaps i might be, asked to come in. there i could very easily demonstrate what now appears to b
Fate you see i'm hooked on something and it's not heroin oh, i just can't get enough of you no i can't get enough, what am -i gonna do i've tried every trick in the book that's going now i've de
That they're not worth knowing my predicament is as simple as this i'm not satisfied and the reason is i just can't get enough of you. my experience of life so far has been to say the least not
Least bizarre i mean i work for a living, 8 hours a day i don't smoke or drink except for a little wine the friends that i have are the genuine kind i think i'm fairly rational in a moderate way
I can't get enough of you no i can't get enough, what am i gonna do i've had other woman but they don't move me you're the only one that can see right through me what you've got i can't explain
R than to tell you i have one
Complaint i just can't get enough of you. i just can't get enough of you no i can't get enough, what am i gonna do like oliver twist, said when he asked for more i happen to like what you gave
Fore my condition is rather unique i'm suffering from the world's first lovely disease i just can't get enough of you

6. _ Hello, It's Goodbye
Take off your coat pull up a chair
Sit next to me not over there
How about a drink what would you like
Would a scotch on the rocks be alright
Then as the lights invariably dim
I gently touch your thigh
And before you know it, hello it's goodbye.
You tell me that you're not that type
And i'm not saying that you're not right
All that i'm asking is a chance
To do more with you than just holding hands
This is the story of my life
Every chance i get to try
Before you know it, hello it's goodbye.
Now i'm not saying that i'm upset
But for all the pleasure that i can get
I might just as well go join a monastery
(just as well join a monastery)
I'm not saying that i'm upset
But for all the pleasure that i've been getting
I might just as well go join a monastery
(just as well join a monastery).
Sometimes i think i'm up against
Something that doesn't make much sense
Like when i'm with a girl like you
I'd do everything a man should do
Then when i feel the time is right
I say no need to be shy
And before you know it hello it's goodbye.

7. _ What's In A Kiss
What's in a kiss
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just a moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss.
What's in a dream
Is it all the things you'd like to have been
All the places that you haven't yet seen
Tell me what's in a dream.
I know it's really rather stupid of me
But i honestly don't know
Every time i try to find a solution
I'm surprised at how quickly i become so slow.
What's in a kiss
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss.
And any time you need a light refreshment
Baby you can count on me
I am your very own delicatessen
Well equipped to supply you with your every need.
Well what's in a kiss
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss.

8. _ I Love It But
I love it but it doesn't knock me out
I think it's great, but it could be better
I like it a lot, it's just not my cup of tea
Yet if you were to change the melody
Take out a part that you think should be here
Put in a part that wouldn't otherwise appear
Well it's only an idea.
I hate it but that doesn't mean it's bad
In other words i quite enjoyed it
Apart from which, it's the best you've ever done
Yet if you were to change the words
It would be superb with perhaps a different melody
I love it but it's just a shade too long
Though to be fair you'd hardly notice
The only thing as i say is how it's done
Bits to me sound like it ought to have been sung
Not only in two part harmony but one
Making the whole thing really swing before it's swung
Walk instead of run
I love it, but it doesn't knock me out
Yet it you were to change the words
It would be superb with perhaps a different melody.
I love it but it doesn't knock me out
I think it's great, but it could be better
I like it a lot, it's just not my cup of tea
Yet if you were to change the melody
Take out a part that you think should be here
Replace it with a part that wouldn't otherwise appear
Are you getting the idea
I love it, but it doesn't knock me out.

S i did, i didn't. i give her the bulk of my weekly pay she takes it without even thanking me one bit and i've worked hard for it so a thank you wouldn't hurt yet i love her with all of my heart

10. _ Help Is On The Way
So you want to love me
But you don't know why
You've got a problem up ahead
That's in sight
Love to meet your uncle
Only as i was saying
I have a relative myself the same type
Call yourself a man
I said, why not if it's true
I said, you call yourself a taxi and fly
And like a bird she flew out
Of the window
Leaving me a box of milk tray
A note upon it to say
If nothing's alright it's okay
'cos help is on the way.
Sorry to disturb you
At this awful hour
But i was wondering
If you have the time
Supposed to meet a woman here
At half past eight
And now you're telling me
It's already nine
Man you should have seen it
As the boat overturned
There was a cry out
From a hand or a leg
And like a stone she went
Down to the bottom
Leaving us above in dismay
Despite the captain who'd say
If nothing's alright it's okay
'cos help is on the way.
I got a letter
It came as a note
It said, i'm sorry
I haven't spoke
It was written out in braille
So i knew that it felt good
Right from the start
Solo part
I tried to reach you
But you weren't at home
I left a message
Right after the tone it said, sorry i'm not in
If you'd care to call again
I'll get back to you - back to you.
So you want to love me
But you don't know why
You've got a bee up in your bonnet
That's fine
Nothing like a buzz going around
Your head
To clear the cobwebs from the state
Of your mind
Well, you won't believe this
But believe me
It's true
I had this woman
In the palm of my hand
When like a madman
She leapt out the windowv leaving me a box of milk tray
A note upon it to say,
If nothing's alright it's okay
'cos help is on the way.
