If I give up the seat I've been saving
To some elderly lady or man Am I being a good boy? Am I your pride and joy? Mother please if you THINK say I am And if while in the course of my duty I perform an unfortunate take Would you punish me so Unbelievably so Never again will I make that mistake This feeling inside me could never deny me The right to be wrong if I choose And this pleasure I get From say winning a bet Is to lose When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy Eating more than enough apple pies Will I glance at my screen And see real human beings Starve to death right in front of my eyes Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine Nothing physically recklessly, hopelessly blind Nothing I couldn't say Nothing why 'cos today Nothing rhymed (Break) This feeling inside me could never deny me The right to be wrong if I choose And this pleasure I get From say winning a bet Is to lose Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing ventured Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine Nothing physically recklessly, hopelessly blind Nothing I couldn't say Nothing why 'cos today Nothing rhymed |

I don't know if you've heard the news but I'm a boy
Who's got himself a problem so big it's no joy You see I've something that people claim Could bring me fortune and instant fame A face so ugly you could hardly blame Anybody here for saying so I think I'll bury myself deep beneath the ground And come up only when there's no one else around And if by chance someone approaches me And that someone happens to be a she You can bet your life in time of worry I wouldn't hesitate but to be that way Oh why can't girls just look at me and smile Instead of looking at me as though I will turn my head and before I go to bed Gaily underneath the blanket go I've even wrote to Marjorie Proops, but she can't help The best that she could offer me was disguise yourself Well this I've done would you believe not twice But more than once in fact I think it was nice So much so when I'm inclined to hurry I wouldn't hesitate but to be that way-oh oh oh Woh! Woh! |

There is too much attention
Paid to people who believe That the world we live in Really isn't round Yes there's too much attention Paid to people just like me Who'll confess their only aim in life Is down There is too much attention As to where we all should be And to how much we should know Inside how long Yes there's too much attention And the reason I believe Is because we are what we are right or wrong So forgive me when I tell you I ain't got no place to go I ain't got no-one to talk to Got no one left to say hello (Break) There is too much attention Paid to him who shot at he And to how he got away But didn't quite Yes there's too much attention So much so that we'll believe He's not guilty of the crime which he's Being tried So forgive me when I tell you I ain't got no place to go I ain't got no-one to talk to Got no one left to say hello |

I've no wish to hurry you luv
But have you seen the time It's quarter to ten and we're supposed to be there At nine I don't think the registrar Will be very pleased When we show up an hour late Like two frozen peas Both now facing for the first time Presently and past Something that begins with M And ends in alas More than not complete disaster Even form the start What could it be... It's Matrimony I know how you've dreamt about Being walked down the aisle But think of the money we'll save And you'll see it's worthwhile It won't please our mums and dads But they don't even know, Besides if they did what's the betting They wouldn't even go You and me are all that matters Disregard the rest Trust your soon to be old man He knows what is best Very shortly now there's going to be An answer from you Then one from me That's matrimony I'm truly grateful for the little things in life That have made me so glad Every other hour that I spend with you Is not in the least bit sad Quite the opposite in fact And if you don't believe me Here's the proof Ask me if I and I'll say "Aye, I do" (Break) You and me are all that matters Disregard the rest Trust your soon to be old man He knows what is best Very shortly now there's going to be An answer from you Then one from me That's matrimony Marriage-the joining together of the two people For better or for worse Till death them do part Ole! |

No matter how I try
I just can't say goodbye No matter what you say-hey Looks like I'm here to stay No matter where I go I don't know if you know But everywhere we been I'm kept in quarantine It's easy to see why She's almost six foot five I'm only five feet two Is there a tyre somewhere That may take me as a spare? Is there a bank in town That might cash me as a pound? Is there a place you know Where I can open the door? Oh-oh (Break) It's easy to see why She's almost six foot five I'm only five feet two Is there a tyre somwhere That may take me as a spare? Is there a bank in town That might cash me as a pound? Is there a place you know Where I can open the door? Oh-oh I remember our first anniversary It was one of those occasions where, Believe you me - I would rather have been held ransom at the point of a gun Than to suffer indignation for something I hadn't done No matter how I try I just can't say goodbye No matter what you say-hey Looks like I'm here to stay-hey Looks like I'm here to stay Doo-doo doo-di-doo doo |

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top Will throw myself off In an effort to make clear to whomever What it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch At a church where people saying My God, that's tough, she stood him up No point in us remaining We may as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright, and gay Looking forward to, well, who wouldn't do The role I was about to play But, as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God in His mercy Who, if He really does exist Why did He desert me? And in my hour of need I truly am, indeed Alone again, naturally It seems to me that there are more hearts Broken in the world that can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do? Alone again, naturally Now, looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally |

Clair
The moment I met you, I swear I felt as if something, somewhere Had happened to me Which I couldn't see And then The moment I met you again I knew in my heart that we were friends It had to be so It couldn't be no But try As hard as I might do, I don't know why You get to me in a way I can't describe Words mean so little when you look up and smile I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child Oh, Clair Clair Clair If ever a moment so rare Was captured for all to compare That moment is you In all that you do But why In spite of our age difference do I cry Each time I leave you I feel I could die Nothing means more to me than hearing you say "I'm going to marry you, will you marry me, Uncle Ray?" Oh, Clair Clair Clair I've told you before, don't you dare Get back into bed Can't you see that it's late No you can't have a drink Oh all right then, but wait just a bit While I, in an effort to babysit Catch of my breath what there is left of it You can be murder at this hour of the day But in the morning this hour will seem a lifetime away Oh, Clair Clair Oh, Clair |

One minute you say you will
And the next you won't One minute you want me And the next you don't You're turning me upside down Giving me the run around Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go You watch me It isn't out of the question One minute you're kissing me And the next you're not One minute you remember And the next you've forgot I don't like it one little bit You're giving me the slip Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go If you want me It's really out of the question Between us we could have conquered Everest Sailed empty handed around the world But no you couldn't wait You had to go make the fatal mistake Of leading me on You silly girl, that was wrong- Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go You watch me It isn't out of the question One minute you're full of life And the next you're sad One minute you're marvelous And the next you're bad I don't like it one little bit You keep giving me the slip Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go If you want me It's really out of the question I'm doing my best and I don't know why I'm giving her a call and there's no reply She's getting me down till I can't get up She's giving me hell and if that's not enough She's breaking my heart nearly every day Not only in pieces but every way I'm sorry of course but the fault is hers I'm doing my best and I don't know why... |

Who was it that caught you falling
And put you back on your feet Who was it that tripped you any way (In order that the two of us would meet) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving you Who was it that tried to kiss you Despite a very definite no And who was it that managed to succeed (In getting it with your fist down below) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving You and me both feel the same We even look alike And like it's a bloomin' shame That because we do People think we're you Know what I mean Who was it that came to see you When there was no-one else in sight And who was it that stayed over an hour (And not as I'd expected over night) It was me and I'll tell you why Oh! I did it because of my Pure unabashed devotion to loving Pure unabashed devotion to loving You, you, you, you Who was it that caught you falling |

At the very mention of your name
get shivers down my back and in my brain the parts that used to function normally are now as you can see acting very strange oh at the very mention of your name don't know why but if I were tied up in chains I would somehow be released all problems too would cease my heart would never feel no pain at the very mention of your name At the very moment you arrive I stop living and I start to feel alive you have the power that's taken over me led me to believe call it what you like at the very moment you arrive I suspect that I will pinch myself to find that it really isn't true it really can't be you walking up the garden drive at the very moment you arrive And although it's been said well over a thousand times here's a thousand more will you still be mine forever and evermore At the very mention of your name what am I to do and who am I to blame the effect upon my life can only be described a bit like being hit by a train at the very mention of your name |

When the evening is over
Put your head upon my shoulder And I'll tell you something I believe is true Happiness is me and you In a world so distorted Where the worst is best reported Love maybe something That will see us through Happiness is me and you There maybe girls that I'll remember That made me happy for a while But none of them compare with you my love However hard they they all may try If the bus that we're taking Has for ages kept us waiting What does it matter Even in a queue Happiness is me and you There may be days when you discover I'm not the man you think I am But through it all we will recover Without the aid of any plan When the weeks turn to hours And in June it's April showers I'll tell you something I believe is true Happiness is me and you Happiness is me and you Happiness is me and you |

I may be old fashioned
So what if I am I'm not any different To any other man I'm not one of those Who look for blood from a stone But I believe A woman's place is in the home. Now I'm not one to kid you You know it's not my style I wouldn't want to hurt you Not even for a while I'm all for a woman Who can make it on her own But I believe A woman's place is in the home. Ooh baby I believe, I do A woman's place is in the home. Wonder what would have happened Had a woman flattened Rocky Marciano's nose Would there have been A change of views Would women no longer be used The way they seem To think they're being I know what you're thinking And you've every right to moan But I believe, yes indeed, I do, A woman's place is in the home. Ooh baby I believe, I do A woman's place is --in the home |

What about those with nothing to eat? How can I claim that life isn't fair? What a pathetic sight I swear If I could kick I'd kick Myself of course and if Listen to me look I know what I'm saying I'm sure Mary is as much to blame Well in that case Why won't she answer the phone? Don't try and tell me She's not at home I'm sorry but what can I say I'm sorry but what can I say We're sorry but what can I say I love her so much I can't think What are we doing? What have we done? What in the world is going on?

Now move a little closer baby
Don't stand in the road There's such a lot of traffic about You'll catch your death of cold And as you can well imagine What with your death on my hands Nobody would believe me They just wouldn't understand Without you knowing You got me going Without your knowing You got me going... (You got me going) You got me going... (You got me going) All the way Now waiting for the bus to come Is getting to be a drag Time was when it used to get here Dead on quarter past Now its almost quarter to And still it hasn't shown By the time I get to your place I might just as well have flown Without you knowing You got me going Without your knowing You got me going... (You got me going) You got me going... (You got me going) All the way And I don't ever want you to think That I'm the sort Who has a woman waiting for me In every port I mean, as far as I know I've never been to sea Unless you count the time I went out In it up to my knees And I don't ever want you to think That for a start I would ever do anything To break your heart You see, the bond we have between us Is enough To ensure when we're together We are miles away in love Now I'm not superstitious But if ever I see a cat The first thing that I do Is check and see it isn't black And if on close inspection It turns out to be maroon I'll breathe a heavy sigh of relief And grab you on my broom Without you knowing You got me going Without your knowing You got me going... (You got me going) You got me going... (You got me going) All the way |

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 a moment of bliss Tell me what's in a kiss An any time you need a light refreshment Baby, you can count on my I am your very own delicatessen While equipped to supply you if you're ever in need 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 Tell me what's in a kiss Tell me what's in a kiss |
