People gathered here tonight,
I want you to listen to me!
To your left and to you right,
You've got some pretty soily company.

Reader, writer, farmer, priest,
Breed controler, born deceased.
Indian, lawyer, doctor, dog,
And a plumber with a fattened hog.

Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily,
You know he's right.

Romans, italians, country men,
I want you to listen to me!
I've said it twice and i'll say it again,
We've got some pretty soily company.

Liar, cheater, jungle chief,
Saint, believer on relief.
Action painter, hitler's son,
And a commie with a tommy gun.

Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily.
Soily, soily,
The cat in satin trousers said it's oily.

Doctor tom is getting on,
All he does is sign his name.
I get things my brainbox sings,
But i'll go down again.
Play with fire, getting higher,
Higher than a nine foot flame.
My soul is pent and so's the rent,
But i'll go down again.

Wino junko can't say no,
Wino junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you can't say no
Till you go down again

This and treat you crazy cat,
Flying sideways once again.
I'm in a spin it makes me grin,
But i'll go down again.

Wino junko can't say no,
Wino junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you can't say no
Till you go down again.

Till you go down again.
Till you go down again.
Till you go down.

Take what i need until i bleed,
People will say i've gone insane.
Ain't scared to die, it's such a high,
Till i go down again.

Wino junko can't say no,
Wino junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you can't say no,
Till you go down again.

Wino junko can't say no,
Wino junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you can't say no,
Till you go down again.

Wino junko...

I hear them telling me that you're selling off the furniture
And even keep my personalized autographs
You might as well go all the way and sell your granny to the zoo
And while you're at it, may i go to my psychiatrist ?
He's making money out of making me laugh
But i don't mind , i wish that i could say the same about you
It seems to me that you've still got no values
Oh you know you're not so hot, no values
And i'll be glad if you went away again
No values . . . no values . . . no values at all

The city shark is at the dark and of the alleyway
You pays your money and you takes your choice
The artful dodger says he wants to pick a pocket or two
But you, you've taken up a place in high society
A personal friend of messrs rolls and royce
Got them all convinced that everything you say to them is true

It seems to me that you've still got no values
Oh you know you're not so hot, no values
You know you've got a lot, but no values
And i'd be glad if you went away again
No values . . . no values . . . no values at all

I like your wife's smile, i like her car
If i had your lifestyle, i wouldn't go far wrong
On the waters of life you row your boat
Into the strongest tide that you can find
On the darkest of nights we were two of a kind
We went through it all before the tide went out
And left us stranded on the shore
How was i to know
How was i to know

Well you ain't got no values
You know you think you're hot, no values
You know you've got a lot, but no values
And i'd be glad if you went away again
No values . . . no values . . . no values at all

When you're fed up shedding too many tears
And your memory seems like just so
Many souvenirs
I will come to you to ease the pain

If you want me, tell me now
If i can be of any help, tell me how
Let me love you like a friend
Everything is gonna come right in the end

When you're crying like a poor little child
And you feel like you never could
Be reconciled
Don't forget a word of what i'm saying - oh

If you want me, tell me now
If i can be of any help, tell me how
Let me love you like a friend
Everything is gonna come right in the end

Well, i can hold you too tight
I could never let you go
But that wouldn't be right
So, why don't you let me know (let me know)
Let me know what you want to do

Everybody's got a handful of fear
But tomorrow it may only be a souvenir
Of the way it is 'til it went away

If you want me, tell me now
If i can be of any help, tell me how
Let me love you like a friend
Everything is gonna come right in the end

Well, i can hold you too tight
I could never let you go
But that wouldn't be right
So, why don't you let me know
Let me know what you want to do

If you want me, tell me now
If i can be of any help, tell me how
Let me love you like a friend
Everything is gonna come right in the end

Souvenir
No, not another souvenir
No, no, no, no, no, souvenir

They say that richard cory owns one half of this whole town,
With political connections to spread his wealth around.
Born into society, a banker's only child,
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.

But i work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm living
And i curse my poverty
And i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be
Richard cory.

The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:
Richard cory at the opera, richard cory at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.

But i work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm living
And i curse my poverty
And i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be
Richard cory.

He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
"richard cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."

But i work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm living
And i curse my poverty
And i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be
Richard cory.

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And we call it lonesome town
Where the broken hearts stay

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is heart full of tears

Going down to lonesome town, where the broken hearts stay
I'm going down to lonesome town, to cry my troubles away

And in the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in lonesome town
Well i can learn to forget

Lead solo

Going down to lonesome town, where the lonely hearts stay
I'm going down to lonesome town, to cry, to cry my troubles away

And in the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget

Maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget

Sometimes i'm right, sometimes i'm wrong
I can't, help it, but don't know this song
All day, i try to be a man
Help me to do it, if i don't know the song.

Try, try, try try not to cry, cry cry
Cry over you ou ou, over you
Yes i try, try, try try not to cry, cry, cry
Cry over you ou ou, over you

I want to enjoy, being alive
Don't want to leave, before i arrive
I like to sing, i sing along
How can i do it, when i don't always know

I say try, try, try try not to cry, cry cry
Cry over you ou ou, over you
Yes i try, try, try try not to cry, cry, cry
Cry over you ou ou, over you

Lead solo

Baby i say try, try, try try not to cry, cry cry
Cry over you ou ou, over you
Yes i try, try, try try not to cry, cry, cry
Cry over you ou ou, over you

I laughed at the teachers who taught in my school
They kept one arm bandits in the swimming pool
They don't understand me but they never will
And if was there i'd be telling them still
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more

I followed the leader into her tent
But nobody told me that she owed some rent
She wanted to love me, i wanted to go
But she taught me things that i needed to know

I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more

She wanted to love me, i wanted to go
Well she taught me things that i needed to know

I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more

I talked to my lawer, he picked up my bail
Won't someone get me out of this lousy jail
We're both in agreement that grime never pays
And i should be out in a couple of days

I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more
I'm not such a bad boy no more, no more, no more

I saw you sitting at the center of a circle.
Everybody, everybody wanted something from you
I saw you sitting there

I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music.
Caught you playing, praying to the voice inside you
I saw you swaying there

I don't care what you wanna be
I go back too far; i'm in front of me!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future.
See it in a different light.
I can see the world tonight

I heard you listening to a secret conversation.
You were crying, you were trying not to let them hear you
I heard you listening in

Never mind what they wanna do
You've got a right to your point of view
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away - hey - hey.

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

I saw you hiding from a flock of paparazzi.
You were hoping, you were hoping that the ground would swallow you.
I saw you hiding there

I don't care what you wanna be
I go back so far, i'm in front of me!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away - hey - hey

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

Look into the future
I can see the world tonight
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight
I can see the world tonight
