1. _ Act Nice And Gentle
You don't need no fancy clothes
Where'd you get them, goodness knows?
Just show some civility.
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
I don't need no luxuries,
As long as you are understanding,
I'm not difficult to please.
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
Well i'm the kind of guy who likes
To take you as i find you
So throw away those false eyelashes and,
Act nice, act nice, baby.
Come on baby, hold my hand.
Come on baby, understand, you gotta
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
Come on baby, hold my hand.
Come on baby, understand, you gotta
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.

2. _ Tin Soldier Man
Just a quiet city sport[?]
With a wife and little kids to support
So immaculately dressed when he walks
Like a soldier on parade
He's a tin soldier man
Living in a little tin wonderland
Very happy little tin soldier man
When you set him on your knee
Every day you see his army march down the street
Changing guards at the high road
He's a tin soldier man
Wickie wa-waddle doo[?]
And he's got a little tin lady too
Just to put a little shine on his shoes
And keep his uniform tidy
He's a tin soldier man
Wickie wa-waddle doo[?]
And he's got a little tin lady too
Just to put a little shine on his shoes
And make his uniform tidy
He's a tin soldier man
Living in a little tin wonderland
Very happy little tin soldier man
When you sit him on your knee
He's a tin soldier man
He's a tin soldier man

3. _ Wonder Boy
La-la-la-la...
Wonder boy, life's just begun.
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, don't sigh, don't groan
Life is only what you wonder.
Day is as light as your brightest dreams,
Night is as dark as you feel it ought to be.
Time is as fast as the slowest thing,
Life is only...
Wonder boy,
Wonder boy.
Everybody is looking for the sun.
People strain their eyes to see,
But i see you and you see me,
And ain't that wonder?
Wonder boy, some mother's son,
Life is full of work and plunder[?].
Easy go, life is not real,
Life is only what you conjure.
Wonder boy,
And the world is joy, every single day.
It's the real mccoy,
Wonder boy.
Everybody is looking for the sun.
People strain their eyes to see,
But i see you and you see me,
And ain't that wonder?
Wonder boy, some mother's son,
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, go have your fun.
Life is only...
Life is only...
Life is only...

4. _ Lincoln County
I've gotta get a train, take me back home again,
See my daddy, momma wants to see me too.
I'm gonna see my momma looking through the window
At the station in the morning, been a few mornings since i've been home.
I've been doing wrong but now i'm going home.
So come on girls, you better put your best boots on.
'cause when i get home to lincoln county,
Won't know which way to go, i'm gonna find all those pretty girls.
I'm gonna find them all.
'cause when i get home to lincoln county,
Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, i'm gonna live it swell[?].
Then i'm gonna shout for more.
Well, i bought a new suit at the best pawn broker's shop,
Bought my ticket from money that i saved in jail.
I got a boot lace tie, i got for my pa,
I got a head scarf, fair, i got for my momma that she won't wear.
I've been doing wrong but now i'm going home.
So come on girls, you better put your best boots on.
'cause when i get home to lincoln county,
Won't know which way to go, i'm gonna find all those pretty girls.
I'm gonna find them all.
'cause when i get home to lincoln county,
Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, i'm gonna live it swell[?].
Then i'm gonna shout for more.
I've gotta get a train, take me back home again,
See my daddy, momma wants to see me too.
'cause when i get me back to lincoln county,
Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, i'm gonna live it swell[?].
Then i'm gonna shout for more.
'cause when i get back to lincoln county,
Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, i'm gonna live it swell[?].
Then i'm gonna shout for more.
'cause when i get home to lincoln county,
Won't know which way to go, i'm gonna find all those pretty girls.

5. _ Autumn Almanac
From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar,
When the dawn begins to crack.
It's all part of my autumn almanac.
Breeze blows leaves of a musty[mustard?]-coloured yellow,
So i sweep them in my sack.
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
Friday evenings, people get together,
Hiding from the weather.
Tea and toasted, buttered currant buns
Can't compensate for lack of sun,
Because the summer's all gone.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my poor rheumatic back
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn almanac
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
I like my football on a saturday,
Roast beef on sundays, all right.
I go to blackpool for my holidays,
Sit in the open sunlight.
This is my street, and i'm never gonna to leave it,
And i'm always gonna to stay here
If i live to be ninety-nine,
'cause all the people i meet
Seem to come from my street
And i can't get away,
Because it's calling me, (come on home)
Hear it calling me, (come on home)
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn armagnac
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn almanac
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Bop-bop-bopm-bop-bop, whoa!
Bop-bop-bopm-bop-bop, whoa!

6. _ David Watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
I am a dull and simple lad
Can not tell water from champagne
And i have never met the queen
And i wish i could have all that he has got
I wish i could be like david watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
And when i lie on my pillow at night
I dream i could fight like david watts
Lead the school team to victory
And take my exams and pass the lot
(wish i could be)
Wish i could be like david watts
(wish i could be)
Wish i could be like david watts
(wish i could be)
Conduct my life like david watts
(wish i could be)
I wish i could be like david watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
He is so gay and fancy free
And i wish all his money belonged to me
I wish i could be like david watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with david watts
They try their best but can't succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed
Wish i could be like
Wish i could be like
Wish i could be like
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

7. _ Lazy Old Sun
Lazy old sun
What have you done to summertime?
Hiding away
Behind all those misty thunder clouds
I don't mind
To spend my time
Looking for you
For you are my one reality
When i'm dead and gone
Your light will shine eternally
Sunny rain, shine my way
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun
You make the rainbows and you make the night disappear
You melt the frost so i won't criticize my sun
When i was young
My world was three foot, seven inch tall
When you were young
There was no world at all
Sunny rain, shine my way
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun

8. _ Harry Rag
Ah, tom is young and tom is bold
Tom is as bold as the knights of old
But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam
There's nothing he won't do to get a harry rag
Harry rag, harry rag
Do anything just to get a harry rag
And he curses himself for the life he's led
And rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed
Ah, tom's old ma is a dying lass
Soon they all reckon she'll be pushing up the grass
And her bones might ache and her skin might sag
But still she's got the strength to have a harry rag
Harry rag, harry rag
Do anything just to get a harry rag
And she curses herself for the life she's led
And rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself to bed
Ah, bless you tax man, bless you all
You may take some but you never take it all
But if i give it all, i won't feel sad
As long as i got enough to buy a harry rag
Harry rag, harry rag
Do anything just to get a harry rag
And i curse myself for the life i've led
And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed
Ah, the smart young ladies of the land
Can't relax without a harry in their hand
And they light one and they boast and brag
So content because they got a harry rag
Harry rag, harry rag
Do anything just to get a harry rag
And they'll light one and they'll boast and brag
So content because they got a harry rag
Harry rag, harry rag
I'll do anything just to get a harry rag
And i curse myself for the life i've led
And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed

9. _ Afternoon Tea
Tea time won't be the same without my donna
At night i lie awake and dream of donna
I think about that small cafe
That's where we used to meet each day
And then we used to sit a while
And drink our afternoon tea
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'cause i like you, girl
I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)
You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)
Like you talking to me
Because you ease my mind
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Tea time still ain't the same without my donna
At night i lie awake and dream of donna
I went to our cafe one day
They said that donna walked away
You'd think at least she might have stayed
To drink her afternoon tea
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'cause i like you, girl
I take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
Every day of the week (afternoon tea)
Please come along if you like
Because i like you, girl
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

10. _ Waterloo Sunset
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But i don't need no friends
As long as i gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day i look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets julie, waterloo station
Every friday night
But i am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But i don't feel afraid
As long as i gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day i look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round waterloo underground
But terry and julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on waterloo sunset
They are in paradise
Waterloo sunset's fine

11. _ Funny Face
You're walking 'round in my memory
That only gets stronger and stronger
Smudged mascara and pill-shaped eyes
Everything you want was bought with lies.
But what can i do about it
The say you won't last any longer
All the gates of love you won't walk through
The only gates you see are colored blue.
I see you peering through frosted windows
Eyes don't smile, all they do is cry
Funny face, she's all right
Funny face, she's all right
Funny face, she's all right
Oh how can i live without her
The doctors won't let me see her
But i can catch a glimpse through the doorway
Of the girl that i love and care for
I see you peering through frosted windows
Eyes don't smile, all they do is cry
Funny face, she's all right
Funny face, she's all right
Funny face, she's all right

12. _ Death Of A Clown
My makeup is dry and it clags on my chin
I'm drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin
The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore
The lions they won't fight and the tigers won't roar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
So let's all drink to the death of a clown
Won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore
The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees
And frantically looking for runaway fleas
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
So won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

13. _ End Of The Season
Winter time is coming
All the sky is grey
Summer birds aren't singing
Since you went away
Since you've been gone, end of the season
Winter is here, close of play
I get no kicks walking down saville row
There's no more chicks left where the green grass grows and i know that
Winter is here, end of the season
My reason's gone, close of play
I just can't mix in all the clubs i know
Now labour's in, i have no place to go
You're on a yacht near an island in greece
Though you are hot, forget me not
I will keep waiting until your return
Now you are gone, end of the season
Winter will come any day
Back in the scrub on a wet afternoon
Down in the mud, dreaming of flowers in june
End of the season
End of the season

14. _ Two Sisters
Sylvilla looked into her mirror
Percilla looked into the washing machine
And the drudgery of being wed
She was so jealous of her sister
And her liberty, and her smart young friends
She was so jealous of her sister
Sylvilla looked into the wardrobe
Percilla looked into the frying pan
And the bacon and eggs
And the breakfast is served
She was so jealous of her sister
And her way of life, and her luxury flat
She was so jealous of her sister
She threw away her dirty dishes just to be free again
Her women's weekly magazines just to be free again
And put the children in the nursery just to be free again
Percilla saw her little children
And then decided she was better off
Than the wayward lass that her sister had been
No longer jealous of her sister
So she ran 'round the house with her curlers on
No longer jealous of her sister
