1. _ Please Dont Go
Please don't go
I used to walk you home
Then walk back alone
As i remember
I just can't remember
I used to walk you home
Then walk back alone
As i remember
I just can't remember
I will admit that there were times
When i was rude and so unkind
But can't we kiss and make amends
Oh why oh why can't we be friends
When we were seen
It was like a dream
Always together
I thought forever
But now you seem
That it's time to end
But i say never
N-n-n-no never
But when we kissed and when we touched
It used to mean so very much
But now your cold and want to go
Before you do, i want you to know
Please don't go
Please don't go because i really know
That i love you i really love you
I used to walk you home, then walk back alone
As i remember, i just can't remember
But when we kissed and when we touched
It used to mean so very much
But now your cold and want to go
Before you do, i want you to know
Please don't go because i really know
That i love you i really love you
Please don't go because i really know
That i love you i really love you
Please don't go because i really know
That i love you i really love you
(please don't go....love you)

2. _ Time
When I considered how my life is spent
They cry but I know that everything is heaven sent
But why do people lie when all they want is truth at their tables
The sky is looking very blue today
It's so fine I'd agree with every word you say
About it it must be said it doesn't mean much at all
Time you make changes
Time you'll add ages
Time is walking with you by your side
There's no reason that we should complain
In the night everybody looks the same
It's so sad but we don't seem to be going forward at all
(Time)
(Time)
Time
Time you make changes
Time you'll add ages
Time is walking with you by your side
Time you make changes
Time you'll add ages
Time is walking with you by your side
(Come on time)
Time you make changes
Time you'll add ages
Time is walking with you by your side
Time gentlemen please
Time

3. _ Uncle Sam
Here they come again hop scotching up to my door
One by one again knockety knock knocking upon my floor
Swinging on my gate they gain entry by the yard
Pulling at my hair they scream paint your thoughts upon my card
But not tonight I've got studies to examine
Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men
A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam
Who now takes up all of my time he gives me things to do
'Cause he's a wonderful man
But I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
To be with my Uncle Sam
Silly little sniggers from the women liberators
But I'll stand and hold my post
Polished buttons and erect I'll raise the flag
I'll show those women who's the most
But not tonight I've got studies to examine
Tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men
A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam
Who now takes up all of my time, gives me things to do
He's a wonderful man
But I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
But not tonight I've got studies to examine
Tomorrow ah ah ah
And tomorrow I'll be watching all the Queen's men
A talent contest on Monday with my Uncle Sam
Who now takes up all of my time he gives me things to do
'Cause he's a wonderful man
I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to see my Uncle Sam
I'm sailing across the sea to be with my Uncle Sam

4. _ I'll Compete
I'll be your promotional copy in this here number one band
Take your business beyond your furthest dreams sounds
Sounds great sounds really grand but wait
Let us hurry now time is catching up
And it looks like the music hall race has caught me up
But I'll compete (yeah yeah)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (with the rest of the pack)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (on the beat)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (with a full deck)
For all that I'm worth
I'll be your popswop, come floppy disc, race you along the upper deck
Retrieve from you my with-held treasure,
Then watch you sink with you sunken rotting wreck,
Let us hurry now, time is running out,
Let's not forget time is money said the business man to his faithful scout.
But I'll compete (in the national press)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (with the back chat)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (on the beat)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (international)
For all that it's worth
We must hurry now time is closing in
And I'm getting no younger in fact
I'm five years closer to my pension scheme
But I'll compete (yeah yeah)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (for the ratings)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (on the beat)
For all that it's worth
I'll compete (with the rest of the pack)
For all that I'm worth

5. _ Jennie ( A Portrait Of )
Every morning at the break of dawn
Sleeping deeply next to me
To every evening as the sun goes down
Together we stay, together we'll stay
Chorus:
Nobody else to bring you down
Nobody else to be around
This time you're free
Nobody else to draw you away
Nobody else to take you away
This time just you and me
I'm so pleased that you waited for me
And i thought of you oh so much
It could fill an eternity
Her big sad eyes that stare
Nobody else going to bring you down
Nobody else to be around
This time you're free
Where i come from
Nobody knows
And where i'm going
Everything goes
(we'll meet again)
Nobody else to blow you away
Nobody else to take you away
This time just you and me
I've searched about everywhere
But i still can't find her
Events that cease at my memory
I still can't picture
Mother of mercy, sister of mary
Please help me (to find her)
Is there something you should tell me
Please hear me (to find her)
Nobody else going to bring you down
Nobody else to be around
This time you're free
Nobody else to blow you away
Nobody else to take you away
This time just you and me
Mother of mercy, sister of mary
Please help me (to find her)
Is there something you should tell me
Please hear me (to find her)
Nobody else going to bring you down
Nobody else to be around
This time you're free

6. _ White Heat
Down between the sunbeams the moneylenders chat
Hiding in the shade outside a council flat
Kids in the lift looking for things to throw
And practising their aim on the heads below
They make their apologies with the quickness of their feet
Then lost in the heat haze that shimmers across the street
Underfoot the pavement is melting
Crumbling for the luckiest girl
The whole world is melting.
(White white heat)
I'm still not in until a week next Wednesday
I'm holidaying on the roof |
7. _ Coldest Day
No I never heard through the grapevine
How you left long before your time
But in France on the radio
I could not understand a word
But I felt you go
We waited all night for the midnight lover's calling
It was the coldest day of the year
And I'm still thawing
I didn't sleep a wink
But while radio played
I was day dreaming
Of what might have been
While the cold night air was freezing
The coldest night
The coldest day of the year
What is happening mother father please
Who will save us from the autumn breeze
Shivering to a halt no one wants to speak too soon
Although we all knew under the pale blue moon
The pale moon
The pale blue moon
What happens then when the sun goes down
Tell me what's the word Johannesburg
When the rent goes up and the lights go down
On the coldest day outside the coldest town
We waited all night and I'm still falling
I didn't sleep a wink
But while radio played
I was day dreaming
Of what might have been
While the cold night air was freezing
The coldest night
The coldest day of the year
The coldest night
The coldest day of the year
The coldest night, day, year.

8. _ All I Knew
Woohoo woohoo woohoo
Here comes an honest looking man
With his round face and his fat hands
See the news, there he is
With the answers to the last quiz
I can never know what i then knew
In a million years
I can never know what i used to
In a million tears
Turn it on we will see
Everything today
Me and you will lose
Our marbles on the way
I'll remember you forever
'til the day i'm dead
I'll remember us together
And the things we've said
I'll spare a penny for my thoughts
And try to work out what i just bought
Let me think, let me think
Left swimming in an ice rink
Woohoo woohoo
I don't want to hear what someone has to say
I'll just write it down and throw it all away
I could never know what i then knew
In a million years
I could never know what i used to
In a million tears
Woohoo woohoo
I'll remember you forever
'til the day i'm dead
I'll remember us together
And the things we've said
I could never know what i then knew
In a million years
I could never know what i used to
In a million tears
In a million tears
In a million tears
In a million tears
In a million tears

9. _ Mad Not Mad
The windows are open wide
Georgie Fame for those outside
And answering the call
Blue flames leap up the wall
Who would have thought it strange
That all of us would change
Out there in the hall
The shadows leave the wall
Then we had the plan
Back when it began
And as we turn we know
That one of us will go
(Would you) dance with a mad man, mad man, mad man
Over the hills and far away
Arm in arm
Mad not mad
A star-spangled sight
Silhouettes at night
Dancing over Big Ben
Seven ragged men
Up up and away
Forever and a day
(Would you) dance with a mad man, mad man, mad man
Over the hills and far away
Arm in arm
Mad not mad
Dance with a mad man, mad man, mad man
Beyond the reach of yesterday
What are we but our friends
Mad not mad
(Mad not mad)
Hello crazy gang
Goodbye with a bang
What are we but our friends
Sailing round the bend
In love through thick and thin
I know it will all win
(Would you) dance with a mad man, mad man, mad man
Over the hills and far away
Arm in arm
Mad not mad
Dance with a mad man, mad man, mad man
Beyond the reach of yesterday
What are we but our friends
Mad not mad
Dance with a mad man, mad man, mad man
As only you can
Enjoying his company

10. _ Yesterdays Men
An insolent speck of youth
Being taken for a walk
So tightly by the ear
That he can hardly talk
Yesterday's men hang to today
To sing in the old-fashioned way
It must get better in the long run
Has to get better in the long run
A metropolitan marathon
Has been held today
But who you need to catch
Will be coming the other way
Yesterday's men hang to today
To sing in any old way
It must get better in the long run
Has to get better in the long run
Because when you're told to start
How far can you go
When your race is won
And you already know
Because when you're told to stop
How far will you go
When your race is run
And you already know
Yesterday's men hang to today,
To sing in any old way,
It must get better in the long run
Has to get better in the long run
Will it get better in the long run
Will we be here in the long run
Yesterday's men hang to today,
To sing in any old way,
It must get better in the long run
Has to get better in the long run
Will it get better in the long run
Will we be here in the long run
Do, do, do, hang on in the long run.

11. _ Sweetest Girl
The sweetest girl in all the world
These eyes are for you only
The sweetest girl in all the world
These eyes are for you only
The sweetest girl in all the world
These words that die before me
The sweetest girl in all the world
These words that die before me
When we walk in the dark
I never can tell
When when we walk in the dark
I never can tell
It's just loving it
Ooh loving it
The sweetest boy in all the world
His life has got so lonely
The sweetest boy in all the world
His life has got so lonely
The maddest group in all the world
How could they do this to me
The maddest group in all the world
How could they do this to me
What I want I shall take what you think that you know
Oh such an awful mistake to never let go
When the government falls I wish I could tell
When the city calls I never can tell
The weakest link in any chain
I always want to find it
the strongest words in each belief
Find out what's behind it
The politics is prior to
The vagaries of science
She left because she understood
The value of defiance
The sweetest girl in all the world
These eyes are for you only
The sweetest boy in all the world
His life has got so lonely
The sweetest girl in all the world
These words that die before me
(She wants to go, but she don't know why)
(Loving it, ooh loving it)
The maddest group in all the world
How could they do this to me
The sweetest boy in all the world
His life has got so lonely
The sweetest girl in all the world
These words that die before me
The sweetest boy in all the world
His life has got so lonely

14. _ Tears You Cant Hide
Now i see tears you can't hide
Carry the world on your back
Heavy weights tear you apart
Now i see tears you can't hide
Feel in a rage can't speak up for yourself
All that you try to do it's no good anyway
Now i see tears you can't hide
No use saying it's a crime
Voices surround me but they lie, lie
Hold out your hand together make your stand
You may be alone you may feel scared inside
Now i see tears you can't hide
No use saying it's a crime
Voices surround me but they lie, lie
(just hit me with your saxophone, lee)
Now i see tears you can't hide
Now i see tears you can't hide
Now i see tears you can't
Tears you can't tears you can't hide

16. _ Burning the Boats
The government have announced
That London Bridge is to be closed
Under the full moon of May the third
All the light houses and seaside roads
No I never heard I never read in the news
Come on tell me, who's this for ?
Lighting the questions and
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one by
Tap, tap, tap, birds that sing,
Telephone calls that do not ring,
One, two, three, what's the time ?
Who's that hanging off my line ?
I know that nothing lasts for ever
And I'm just waiting for the sun to set
Blowing dust from my loud hailer, on the roof.
Come on tell me, who's this for ?
Lighting the questions and
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one by
The ministry of co-operation
Are washed and hanging on the line
There's a million burning questions
To set the Thames alight
Now I've joined an exclusive club
Just by being more than poor
I saw the deputy chairman, on the floor.
Come on tell me, who's this for ?
Lighting the questions and
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats one by one by
Burning the boats one by one
Burning the boats.
