Listen to the world, the world, the world Listen to the people cry Listen to the world, the world, the world Do you ever wonder why We don't see eye to eye? English doesn't flow enough Chinese isn't slow enough Russian we don't know enough To tell them how we feel All those preachers tellin' you You're religious, good for you Perfect for the whole world too If they know what's good for them Oh, listen to the world, the world, the world Listen to the people cry Listen to the world, the world, the world Do you ever wonder why We don't see eye to eye? Did you ever listen to the TV ad-man's spiel? Love is just another way to make another deal Don't you feel a bit ashamed For the politician's game? Yet we signed beside his name And put him where he is Oh, listen to the world, the world, the world Listen to the people cry Listen to the world, the world, the world Do you ever wonder why We don't see eye to eye? The voice of the people should echo far and wide Instead of keeping what they feel bottled up inside Let the people have their say Tomorrow isn't far away It should be better than today If we raise our voices Oh, listen to the world, the world, the world Listen to the people cry Listen to the world, the world, the world Did you ever wonder why We don't see eye to eye? Listen to the world, the world, the world Listen to the people cry Listen to the world, the world, the world Did you ever wonder why You don't see eye to eye? Listen to the world, the world, the world Listen to the people cry Oh, listen to the world, the world, the world Did you ever wonder why You don't see eye to eye? Listen to the world, the world, the world Listen to the people cry... |

We came from Great Britain to L.A. Where the groups from England play Swing Auditorium, Hollywood Palladium, Civic Hall She said she had a house up in the hills Lived on orange juice and pills California, sweet California, bless you all! California tastes so good like coffee should I can't put it down, but that's not all If only they had soccer here, Watney's Beer And the BBC, and the Albert Hall I think, I might think of settling down In this easygoing town With a good woman, with a good woman just like you I just wanna lay my head beside you On the water bed, won't you lay me down Help me to forget about tomorrow And the early plane to another town I came from Great Britain to L.A. Must go back the other way California, so long, California, I'll be back! Yes, I'll be back! |

Anyone here in the audience, With a pad that I can crash in, I?d really appreciate you letting me know, ?Cause the gig is over soon. I?ve been out on the road for a couple of weeks, And we didn?t take much cash in. It?s raining outside and to tell you the truth, I?ve been locked out of my room. CHORUS: Do you care? Do you pity the poor musician? Don?t you know, What it?s like out on the road? Don?t you think, Don?t you think I?m always wishin?, Someone would stand up, And offer a hand up, And take me home? Anyone here in the audience, Who can make a dish to fill me, I?d really appreciate you letting me know, Haven?t eaten all day long. I?ve been out on the road for a number of weeks, And the greasy food is killing me. I?m hungry and tired and to tell you the truth, All my will to pay is gone. [CHORUS] Anyone here in the audience, With a heart that I can cling to, I?d really appreciate you letting me know, If you?ve got some love to spare. I?ve been out on the road for a number of weeks, And I?ve found no one to sing to. And I just need to know, Yes I just want to know, Is there anyone there? [CHORUS] Mmmmm, Someone would stand up, And offer a hand up, And take me home. |

Got on board a westbound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do Oh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies Rang true, sure rang true Seems it never rains in southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya It pours,man it pours Out of work, I'm out of my bread Out of self respect,I'm out of bread I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya It pours, man it pours Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it Had offers but didn't know which one to take Please don't tell 'em how you found me Don't tell 'em how you found me Gimme a break, give me a break Seems it never rains in southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya It pours, man it pours |

City life was gettin' us down
So we spent the weekend out of town Pitched the tent on the patch of ground Down by the river Lit a fire and drank some wine You put your jeans on the top of mine Said, come in the water's fine Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Said, come in the water's fine Down by the river Didn't feel too good all night So we took a walk in the morning light Came across the strangest sight Down by the river Silver fish lay on its side It was washed up by the early tide I wonder how it died Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Silver fish lay on its side Down by the river Doctor put us both to bed He dosed us up and he shook his head Only foolish people go, he said Down by the river Why do willows weep, said he Because they're dying gradually From the waste, from the factories Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Why do willows weep, said he Down by the river In time, the river banks will die The reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly There'll be a tear in the otter's eye Down by the river The banks will soon be black and dead And where the otter raised his head Will be a clean white stone instead Down by the river Down by the river Down by the river Will be a clean white stone instead Down by the river |

You had your faults, I had mine. Nothing's perfect, is it, baby? If we'd given it the time, could have worked things out, well, maybe Came to thinkin' what the hell Not to dwell up on the problems Our bodies came together well And that was all we cared More and more and more and more More of the people gave up looking for Avenues to happiness. You hear them say "The road to understanding was just too far away." While we watched the little things getting out of all proportion There was so much more at stake, but we paid it no attention I suppose if we had tried We'd have saved the pot from boiling But we went and let it slide Until we lost control And more and more and more and more More of the people gave up looking for Avenues to happiness. You hear them say "The road to understanding was just too far away." What was bad got worse, what was good just got forgotten Could have stopped it there and then, but, girl, we didn't cotton In the end we didn't care All the love flew out the window And I guess, just like you said It all got outta hand And more and more and more and more More of the people gave up looking for Avenues to happiness. You hear them say "The road to understanding was just too far away." More and more and more and more More of the people gave up looking for Avenues to happiness. You hear them say "The road to understanding was just too far away." More and more and more and more More of the people gave up looking for Avenues to happiness. You hear them say... |

If I could make a wish
I think, I pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, No lights, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read Making love with you Has left me peaceful, warm and tired What more can I ask There's nothing left t be desired Peace came upon me And it leaves me weak Sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe, Ahh, ahh Peace came upon me And it leaves me weak Sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe, Ahh, ahh Peace came upon me And it leaves me weak Sleep, silent angel, go to sleep |

Early in the misty, misty morning Heading for another freeway jam Sleepy eyed and shivering Waking up and wishing It was Sunday. I wish it was Sunday On the radio they're playing love songs Songs that make me want to turn around Factory gates are up ahead I wish that I was home in bed With you, my love, back home with you, my love But I work to make a living And I work without a break And I work when I am sleeping And I work when I'm awake Yes, and I'd like to leave the city But I can't afford the move And I think I'm goin' under With those way down low down smokey factory blues I was born a lover, not a worker Money doesn't smell like sweet perfume Some of us feel out of place With engine oil upon our face Believe me, you'd better believe me And I work to make a living And I work without a break And I work when I am sleeping And I work when I'm awake Yes, and I'd like to leave the city But I can't afford the move And I think I'm goin' under With those way down low down smokey factory blues Yes, and I work to make a living And I work without a break And I work when I am sleeping And I work when I'm awake Yes, and I'd like to leave the city... |

Get out
damn it Close the door don't slam it Let me be alone a while To give my nerves a rest. Whatever you do I love you No matter what you do I love you And I want to run out after you But I don't know what's best. If you will take good care of me I'll be your caretaker You'll be the maker of the peace And I'll be the peacemaker If you will take good care of me I'll be your caretaker You'll be the maker of the peace And I'll be the peacemaker. Hours later I hear the key in the front door We look each other in the eye A timid sorry pair. There's a little more conversation A little more conversation A battle's lost and a war is won I think we've cleared the air. If you will take good care of me . . . |

It isn't easy to say goodbye I try to understand the reason why My body is shaking My heart is aching within me From my window I watch you go He's waiting for you in the street below His arms wide open while mine are cold and so empty 'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart In yours the sun is shining In mine it's raining Knocking on the lonely one And your life and my life they've gone separated ways In yours a new tomorrow In mine the sorrow Knocking on the lonely one Through the teardrops that cloud my eyes I see the image of the love gone by A silhouette that I won't forget for a long time The days are longer now that you're gone Without your loving arms to keep me whole My future lies on a cloudy skies with no sunshine 'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart In yours the sun is shining In mine it's raining Knocking on the lonely one 'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart In yours the sun is shining In mine it's raining Knocking on the lonely one And your life and my life they've gone separated ways In yours a new tomorrow In mine the sorrow Knocking on the lonely one" |

Everything I want to do
I only want to do with you. Everything I want to do I only want to do with you. I will always have a bed to sleep on And there'll always be a side for you. To let you in to half my world Baby that's the least that I can do And I don't want to go to work Unless you're there when I get back home And if you're not there I won't eat 'Cause I don't want to eat alone. Everything I want to do ... I don't ever want a house and garden In the quiet of a dead end town But if that's what you require me Then I'll want to settle down. And I don't want kids of mine Runnin' round and raisin' hell But I don't care what my kids do If they belong to you as well. Everything I want to do ... So come with me and stay with me And be with me ev'rywhere I go And love with me and live with me And watch with me as the garden grows. I don't ever want to be an old man I don't ever want to die alone. To face the shadows of my life But never never on my own. Everything I want to do ... |

My father is a doctor he's a family man
my mother works for charity whenever she can and they're both good clean americans who abide by the law and they both stick up for liberty and they both support the war my happiness was paid for when they laid their money down for summers in a summer camp and winters in the town my future in the system was talked about and planned but I gave it up for music and The Free Electric Band I went to school in handwashed shirts with neatly ordered hair and the school was big and newly built and filled with light and air and the teachers taught us values that we had to learn to keep and they'd clip the ear of any idle kid who went to sleep my father organised for me a college in the east but I went to California the sunshine and the beach my parents and my lecturers could never understand why I gave it up for music and The Free Electric Band well they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career a lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer just give me bread and water put a guitar in my hand cos all i need is music and The Free Electric Band my father sent me money and I spent it very fast on a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class yes and we learnt about her body but her mind we didn't know until deep rooted attitudes and morals began to show she wanted to get married even though she never said but I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head she'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land so I gave her up for music and The Free Electric Band ooh....The Free Electric Band.... |

Your father spent his life on a military base He made the army his career He pinned your pictures up in the officer's mess And hoped you'd marry a bombardier But you had a crush on the son of a working man I know that made the major sore But still he smiled with the utmost self-control The day the British army lost the war And they argued over tea And they argued over me And they sent you to your room and locked the door Yes, and they argued over tea Haha!, argued over me The day the British army lost the war But I know you loved you old man very much But then I know you loved me more And I loved you more than I even loved myself The day the British army lost the war And they argued over tea And they argued over me And they sent you to your room and locked the door Yes, and they argued over tea And they argued over me The day the British army lost the war The day the British army lost the war |

You turned me on so bad that there was only one thing on my mind An overnight affair was needed at the time Hello, goodbye, no searching questions, that was clearly understood But how was I to know that you would be so good? For the peace, for the peace, for the peace of all mankind Will you go away, will you go away, will you vanish from my mind Will you go away and close the bedroom door And let everything be as it was before Too much too soon, too bad it didn't hit me till a week had passed I might have saved the day if I had acted fast I looked around in case you'd scribbled down the number secretly But all you left were fingerprints and memories For the peace, for the peace, for the peace of all mankind Will you go away, will you go away, will you vanish from my mind Will you go away and close the bedroom door And let everything be as it was before For the peace, for the peace, for the peace of all mankind Will you go away, will you go away, will you vanish from my mind Will you go away and close the bedroom door And let everything be as it was before Da-di-da, da-da-di, da-da-di-di-di-di-di Will you go away, will you go away, will you vanish from my mind Will you go away and close the bedroom door... |

Sitting by a lonely Kansas road
A car goes rushing by At the rate of one an hour Want a lift into the nearest town And judging by the sky We're heading for a shower I'm a half a million miles from home Hey there, man, don't step upon the gas There's room enough inside And I'm very tired of walking I don't wanna do you any harm I just wanna get a ride And I'm very good at talking I'm a half a million miles from home Now the telegraph begins to hum There's a message on the wire An electric conversation "Well, ain't that life", I'm saying to myself "There's an awful lot of words But there's no communication." I'm a half a million miles from home I'm a half a million miles from home I'm a half a million miles from home... |
