we wait to wake to get a ride in the rain
buy a ticket they can check we can claim so we don't spend what's our own for a seat a place to stop a green light a red cross they run around naked doing old things like the ones before wait for a break so you can take a little something that'll make your next break come along a little quicker than the one before wait for an answer spy a sweet dancer as she walks from the door of the hall wish you waited for your wedding vows so hurry up and wait but what's worth waiting for? we wait to get warm the car starts from cold stall to make a first move magazines made the rules to make us lose wait for your dream man the house you could both plan the car in the sales ad the wet dream with the man you wished that you had a watched pot never boils sugars seconds to dissolve see your appetite lost foods relevance is lost inside so hurry up and wait but what's worth waiting for? so join the queue me and you wait in line it takes our time to be satisfied |

The tax man's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything I've got, All I've got's this sunny afternoon. Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa, Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. Now I'm sitting here, Sipping at my ice cold beer, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. Help me, help me, help me sail away, Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime |

You've got a lot of nerve, to say you are my friend,
When I was down, you just stood there grinning, You've got a lot of nerve, to say you've got a helping hand to lend, You just wanna be on the side that's winning, You say I let you down, you know it's not like that, If you're so hurt why then don't you show it? You say you've lost your faith but that's not were it's at, You had no faith to lose, and you know it, I know the reason, that you talk behind my back, I used to be among the crowd your in with, Do you take me for such a fool, to think I would make contact? The one who tries to hide, what you don't know to begin with, You see me on the street, you always act surprised, You say "How are you? Good luck" but you don't mean it, When you know as well as me, you'd rather see me paralyzed, Why don't you just come out once and scream it? No I do not feel that good, I see the heart-breaks you embrace, If I was a master thief, perhaps I'd rob them, And though you're satisfied with your position and your place, Don't you understand it's not my problem? I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes, And just for that one moment I could be you, Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes, You'd know what a drag it is to see you |

September 17th, for a girl I know it's Mothers Day,
Her son has gone alee, and that's where he will stay, Wind on the weathervane, tearing blue eyes sailor mean, As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain, for a boy in Fiddler's Green, His tiny knotted heart, well I guess it never worked too good, A timber tore apart, and the water gorged the wood, You can hear her whispered prayer, for men at mass that always lend, The same wind that moves her hair, moves a boy through Fiddler's Green, Nothing's changed anyway, ah nothing's changed anyway, ah anytime, today, He doesn't know a soul, and there's nowhere that he's really been, But he won't travel on alone, no not in Fiddler's Green, Balloons all filled with rain, as children's eyes turn sleepy mean, And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain, for a boy in Fiddler's Green |

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here? With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats, You can't say we're satisfied, Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried, Angie, beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye? Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried? All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke, Let me whisper in your ear "Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?" Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet, I hate that sadness in your eyes, But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye? With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats, You can't say we're satisfied, But Angie, I still love you, baby, Everywhere I look I see your eyes, There ain't a woman that comes close to you, So come on Baby, dry your eyes, Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive? Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried |

Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more,
Don't leave no message, round her back door, They say the old laughing lady, been here before, She don't keep time, she don't count score, You can't have a cupboard, if there ain't no walls, You got to move, there's no time left to stall, They say the old laughing lady, dropped by to call, And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all, See the drunkard of the village, falling on the street, Can't tell his ankles, from the rest of his feet, He loves his old laughing lady, cause her taste is so sweet, But the laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep, There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out tonight, There's a slipping on the stairway, that don't feel right, There's a rumbling in the bedroom, a flashing of light, There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right, There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right |
