Take the last train to Clarksville,
And I'll meet you at the station.
You can be be there by four thirty,
'Cause I made your reservation.
Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

'Cause I'm leavin' in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
'Til the morning brings my train.
And I must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville.
I'll be waiting at the station.
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation.
Oh... Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

Take the last train to Clarksville,
Now I must hang up the phone.
I can't hear you in this noisy
Railroad station all alone.
I'm feelin' low. Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville,
Take the last train to Clarksville,

Monday had a sad child
Always feeling low down,
Tuesday had a dream child
She's always on the go
Now I'm in love with Saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine.

If you love a Wednesday
You'll live your life apart now
And if you love a Thursday
She's gonna break your heart,
So I'm in love with Saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine.

Seven days of the week made to choose from
But only one is right for me
I know that Saturday's got what it takes, babe.
I can tell by the way she looks at me

Friday likes the good life
She'll take you for a ride now
And Sunday makes a good wife
But she wants to be a bride
So I'm in love with Saturday's child
She drives me wild
Gonna spend my time
Makin' sure that Saturday's child is mine.

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me,
Like the waves out on the blue sea,
If your love has to tie me,
Don't try me, say good-bye.
I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me, say you like me
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me,
Confide in me, whoa-oh-oh.
I wanna hold your hand,
Walk along the sand,
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun.
Doing all those things
Without any strings to tie me down.
I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe,
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I've gotta say...
I wanna be free,
I wanna be free,
I wanna be free.

I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone,
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone.

You're trying to make your mark in society,
You're using all the tricks that you used on me,
You're reading all them high-fashion magazines,
The clothes you're wearing, girl, they're causing public scenes.

I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone,
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone. (No!)

Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes,
But, now you're walking around like you're front page news,
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose,
But, you won't find my name in your book of "Who's Who".

I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone, (No, girl, not me!)
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone. (No!)

Not your steppin' stone,
I'm not your steppin' stone,

Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

No, girl, I'm not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

(She!) She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start
(She!) She said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?

(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt

(She!) She laughed while I was crying
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?

(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
And now I know just why
she keeps me hanging 'round,
(Hanging 'round)
She needs someone to walk on
so her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her! (Love her!)
I need her! (Need her!)
I want her! (Want her!)
Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!)
Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She!

Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!

Walk out,
Girl don't you walk out
We've got things to say
Talked out, let's have it talked out
Things will be okay

Girl
I don't want to fight
That I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me, (a little bit me)
And it's a little bit you too

Don't know, just what I said wrong
But girl I apologize
Don't go, here's where you belong
So wipe the tears from your eyes

Girl
I don't want to find
That I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me
And it's a little bit you too

Oh girl
I don't want to fight
I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me
And it's a little bit you to

It's a little bit me
It's a little bit you
Girl don't go
No no no no no
Girl don't go
No no no no no
Hey girl

Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, can I go too.
This one thing I will vow ya,
I'd rather die than to live without ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

Mary, mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me.
Whatever it was I didn't mean to,
You know I never would try and hurt ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

What more, mary, can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I've done more now than a clear-thinkin' man would do.

Mary, mary, it's not over.
Where you go, I will follow.
'til I win your love again
And walk beside you,
But until then.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, mary, mary, mary, where you goin' to?

You tell me that you've never been this way before.
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere.
You're standing in the places and you're
staring down through faces, that bring to mind traces
of a girl, a girl that I knew somewhere.

I just can't put my finger on what it is
that says to me "Watch out! Don't believe her."
I can't give any reasons girl,
my thoughts are bound down in a whirl.
I just can't think who in the world was that girl;
I know I met her somewhere.

Someway, somehow this same thing was done.
Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong.

Well, goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again.
My fingers are still burning from the last time.
And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame.
That's as may be, I can't explain.

Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere.

Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing

When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday.
Live was such a simple game,
A child could play.
It was easy then to tell right from wrong.
Easy then to tell weak from strong.
When a man should stand and fight,
Or just go along.

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.

I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate,
The foolish from the wise.

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.

It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share.
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care.

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
Only shades of gray.

Sometime in the morning
A simple thought may occur to you,
And you hold her,
And tell her all the things you never told her.
Your love has shown me things
I never thought I could see;
I didn't know
It could be done so easily.
Now I know
You're where it is for me.

Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside
And she'll touch you
And you'll realize how much you never knew before,
How much you couldn't see.
You didn't know
It could be done so easily
Now you know
She's all a girl could be.

Now in her childlike eyes
You see the beauty there
You know it was always there
And you need no longer wear a disguise.

Sometime in the morning
You'll just reach out and she will be there,
Close as the summer air.

Sometime in the morning she will be there.

Love is understanding,
Don't you know that this is true.
Love is understanding,
It's in everything we do.

In this generation,
In this lovin' time,
In this generation,
We will make the world shine.

We were born to love one another
This is something we all need.
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be is free.

In this generation,
In this lovin' time,
In this generation,
We will make the world shine.

We were born to love one another
This is something we all need.
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're goin' to be
And what we have to be is free.

Love is understanding, we gotta be free
Love is understanding, we gotta be free

By Douglas Farthing Hatlelid
Forget that girl,
She'll only make you sad someday.
Forget that girl,

She'll never make you happy.
Stay away from her, my friend,
Stay away from her.

Forget that girl,
She'll only bring you down again.
Forget that girl,
She'll only make you lonely.
Stay away from her, my friend,
Stay away from her.

There was a time when she could really love you
When she was thinking only of you
But now she's thrown herself above you
And there's nothing you can do.

Forget that girl,
Even tho you find it's hard.
Forget that girl,
Even though you love her.

She's in love with him, my friend,
She's in love with him.
Oh yeah, she's in love with him.......

She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine/ and there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind./It's too easy hummin' songs to a girl in yellow dress/it's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess/
The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor/there are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door/he reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair/there's talcum powder on the letter, and the birthday boy is there/
Why don't you cut your hair?!/Why don't you live up there?!/Why don't you do what I do, see what I feel when I care?!/
Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats in naughahyde/I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide/the being known as wonder girl is speaking I believe/it's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave/
Why don't you be like me?!/Why don't you stop and see?!/Why don't you hate who I hate, kill who I kill to be free?!/
Why don't you cut your hair?!/Why don't you live up there?!/Why don't you do what I do, see what I feel when I care?!/
Why don't you be like me?!/Why don't you stop and see?!/Why don't you hate who I hate, kill who I kill to be free?!/
Why don't you cut your hair?!/Why don't you live up there?!/Why don't you do what I do, see what I feel when I care?!

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun.
Someone to understand them,
And you just may be the one.

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take for granted
All the pleasures and the fun.
Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one.

I saw when you walked by
The love light in your eye
And I knew I must try
To win you more than just a friend,
I'm starting near the end,
And I go again.

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun.
Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one.
Someone to understand them,
And you just may be the one.

The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song,
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere,
Rows of houses that are all the same,
And no one seems to care.

See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom,
And Mr. Green, he's so serene,
He's got a TV in every room.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land,
Mothers complain about how hard life is,
And the kids just don't understand.

Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul,
And make it hard for me to see.
Ahhh...thoughts all seem to stray to places far away,
I need a change of scenery.

Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta...
Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta...

Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
(A pleasant valley Sunday)

Girl, don't you know every time I see you smiling,
It hurts so bad, cause when I see you, I start crying,
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying,
That falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying.

Oh, don't walk away,
How, how can I make you stay?
Don't turn away,
I can still hear you saying those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.

Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking?
You won't look around or slow down your walking,
I've given you everything with kiss to seal it,
You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it.

Now, I'm standing here,
Strange, strange voices in my ears,
I feel the tears,
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh.

Now, I'm standing here,
Strange, strange voices in my ears,
I feel the tears,
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.
Words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.
Words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.

Oh, I could hide neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six oclock alarm would never ring.
Whoops its ringing and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin razors cold and it stings.

Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times starts and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.

Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

[instrumental interlude]

Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
[repeat and fade]

Sock it to me
Floatin' down the river
With a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets 'round.
Goin' down. Goin' down.

Comin' up for air
It's pretty stuffy down there
I'd like to say I didn't care
But I forgot to leave a note
And it's so hard to stay afloat
I'm soakin' wet without a boat
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes
It's front page news.
Goin' down. Goin' down.

I wish I had another drink
It wouldn't be so hard to think
Besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didn't need this extrra weight
I wish that I could see my way to shore
Don't want no more.
Goin' down, I'm goin' down.

And now I see the life I led
I slept it all away in bed
I should have learned how to swim instead
And now it's really got me stumped
I can't believe I really jumped
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown.
Goin' down. Goin' down.

I wished I'd looked before I leaped
I didn't know it was so deep
Been down so far I don't get wet
Haven't touched the bottom yet
This river scene is gettin' old
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken hr advice
I only want to go on home
I'd gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If I don't drown, I'll die of fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But I can't swim a single note
He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
And now I've floated way downstream
If I could find my way to shore
I'd never, never do this anymore
I'll give you three, I've been down nine
I'm goin' down just one more time.
Goin' down. Goin' down.

Now the sky is gettin' light
An everythng will be all right
Think I finally got the knack
Just floatin' here lazy on my back
I never really liked that town
I think I'll ride the river down
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
There's a river swinging under me.
Waving back to the folks on shore
I should have thought of this before
I'm floatin' down to New Orleans
Goin' to pick up on some swingin' scenes
I know I'll know a better day
I'll go down groovin' all the way.
Goin' down. Goin' down.

Just a loud mouth Yankee I went down to Mexico.
I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so.
There I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so.
But I found myself a-thinkin' when the time had come to go...

CHORUS:
What am I doin' hangin' round?
I should be on that train and gone.
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone,
What am I doin' hangin' round?

She took me to the garden just for a little walk.
I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk.
Then she told me that she loved me not with words but with a kiss.
And like a fool I kept on thinkin' of a train I could not miss...

CHORUS

Well it's been a year or so, and I want to go back again.
And if I get the money, well I'll ride the same old train.
But I guess your chances come but once and boy I sure missed mine.
And still I can't stop thinkin' when I hear some whistle cryin'....

CHORUS (repeat

La la la la
You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night
And gave up without a fight
You're not the only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy

You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep
I never told you not to love no other
You must of dreamed it in your sleep

You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night
And gave up without a fight
You're not the only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy

you're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep
I never told you not to love no other
You must of dreamed it in your sleep

You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night
And gave up without a fight
You're not the only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy

La la la la

Valleri. I love my Valleri.
There's a girl I know who makes me feel so good.
And I wouldn't live without her, even if I could.
They call her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

She's the same little girl who used to hang around my door.
But she sure looks different than the way she looked before.
I call her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

Valleri. I love my Valleri.
I love my Valleri.
I need ya, Valleri.

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie

But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.

Play the drum a little louder,
Tell me I can live without her
If I only listen to the band.

Listen to the band!
Weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone.

Oh, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.

Play the drum a little bit louder,
Tell them they can live without her
If they only listen to the band.

Listen to the band!
Now weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone.

Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.

C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder,
Tell us we can live without her
Now that we have listened to the band.

Listen to the band!

Love in a vacuum, love in a space,
Love without even the little hint of a trace,
Love in confusion then love doesn't show on your face.

Love is a stranger, love is a box,
Love is the key that fits a million locks,
Love is a mystery when love is the devil you call.

Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine.

Love at a distance, love at a walk,
Love at the limit if only people could talk,
Love for the moment it takes to its wings like a hawk.

Love for tomorrow, love for today,
Love for the hour it could be coming your way,
Love for a puzzle you need a solution to play.

Put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine.

I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can see them shine,
I wish you'd put your heart and soul where I can think they're mine.

Ecco qua
passiamo noi
e la gente ci guarda
ed ammir con voi
Ci chiamano i Monkees,
e siamo meno matti di chi
si crede piu' intelligente
di noi che la pensiamo cosi'
Dovunque parliamo
non e' giusto mai
c'e' sempre qualcuno che
ne sa piu' di noi
Ci chiamano i Monkees
e siamo meno matti di chi
si crede piu' intelligente
di noi che la pensiamo cosi'
Ci chiamano i Monkees...

Girl, this is goodbye for us
I'm afraid there's no two ways about it
Now you say you need my love, But you'll just have to learn to live without it
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes Love
It never goes the way you planned it

When you meant the world to me
that's the time you said you didn't want me
You played around in front of me
Yeah, you did everything you could to taunt me

So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes Love
When it dies you can't disguise it

It's been said you've made your bed
And now you have to lie in it
there's no denying its a shame
But there's really no one else for you to blame

So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes love
It never goes the way you planned it

Kickin' stones on an old dirt road
Feelin' d-dejected and all alone
When I looked up ahead thought my mind I'd blown
On a giant toadstool sat a teeny tiny gnome

He was all involved in a game of solitaire
Said "hello" with a smile just like I wasn't there
I kicked dirt some more
He said "please don't start a fight."
Found a church key in his pocket, he opened up his pipe

He blew some silver circles,
Wound his fingers in his beard
And from that pipe came magic music
Like I'd never heard

As the notes came floatin' in I pricked up both my ears
I walked up to the drive-in, hadn't felt so starved in years
A rabbit waiter took my order and quickly disappeared
He said "the party's over,
Please come back in a thousand years."

Ev'ryone in town knew Mr. Webster;
He worked at the bank for forty years.
And each week Mr. Frizby made his check out
For sixty-eight dollars clear.

And through the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies
And each time Frizby promised him a raise.

They gave a retirement party for Mr. Webster
Everyone from the bank was there.
They had a cake and flowers ordered special
And Frizby had a speech prepared.

And a little white box that held a watch with this inscription
"To Mr. Webster, with regards."

Then came the telegram from Mr. Webster
Said, "Sorry...stop...Cannot attend..
I've flown away and taken all your money
Wish you were here to help me spend."

And one by one all the people left the party
And Mr. Frizby locked the door.

I know about the guy who treated you so bad
He took your love and then just walked away
I know that you have got a reason to be sad
But help is on its way

Hold on, girl; be a little bit stronger
Hold on, girl; wait a little bit longer
Hold on, girl, help is on its way

I know you feel as though your world is at an end
But you don't have to live with yesterday
I promise you the sun is gonna shine again
And help is on its way

Hold on, girl; now that we are together
Hold on, girl; things are gonna be better
Hold on, girl, help is on its way

Love's a thing that needs one to thrive on
Then it grows
At least that's what I've been told
You can't love someone
If you find that all you get in return
A heart that's cold

CHORUS
They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way.
But if it's true,
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?

Seems like you keep trying to break me
You do things designed just to make me cry
And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you
Love won't grow no matter how much you try

CHORUS X2

Why do I love you...?

Now listen just a minute while I sing this song,
Don't you worry baby it won't take long.
I'm just about ready to draw the line,
So don't be surprised if I leave this time.

Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south
Don't want no more of your lyin' mouth.
I'm hittin' the road, gonna ring some bells,
Better know I can do it well.

CHORUS:
Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin'
All night long I'm gamblin', gamblin'
Been losin' all my money and it really is funny, umm badda dum.
Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin'
Al night I'm gamblin', gamblin'
Well tell you what baby, well you better be movin' on.

Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure,
Ain't gotta map, it ain't no tour.
Just headin' out to the open sky,
Who knows, might even die.

Well don't you worry your pretty little head
'Cause you never gave a dang what I did or said.
That's why I'm packin' to leave this place
Can't stand to look at your cheatin' face.

CHORUS

Well you treated me like a little boy
And played around like I was a toy.
Guess you thought I'd have the blues,
Look whose cryin', guess you lose.

CHORUS (twice)
It's about that time, better be movin' on



Midnight Train (version from "Missing Links, Vol. 3")

1: Well I'm an angry man, I sing an angry song,
Tell you honey it won't be long,
Well I'll pack my bags, get outa here,
With my guitar and a case o' beer.
Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south,
Tell you honey, better shut you're mouth,
Well I'll kick your head from here to hell,
You better know I can do it well.

CHORUS: Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin',
All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin',
Losin' all my money well it really is funny, hon.
Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin',
All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin',
Tell you what'n baby well you better be movin' on.

2: Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure,
Ain't got a map, and it ain't no tour,
I'm just headin' out for the open sky,
Who knows? Might even die.
Well don't you worry your pretty little head,
I never give a damn what I did or said.
That's why I'm packin' to leave this place,
Can't stand look at your cheatin' face.

CHORUS: (repeat)

3: Well you treated me like a little boy,
And you played around like I was a toy.
I guess you thought I'd have the blues,
Look who's cryin', guess you lose.

CHORUS: (repeat)

CHORUS: Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling.
Losing all my money, well it really ain't so funny, hon.
Midnight train, rambling, rambling,
All night long I'm gambling, gambling.
Tell you what'n baby, well you better be moving on.

CHORUS: (repeat)

CHORUS: It's about that time, better be movin' on.
Get outa here, you better be movin' on.
Well that's all she wrote, you better be movin' on.

Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera;
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera,
Dios guardo el lobo de neustra cordera.

El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender;
Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar,
Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.

Riu, riu chiu...

Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca,
Christo patriarca de carne vestido;
Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito,
Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hiziera.

Riu, riu chiu...



Translated:

River, roaring river, guard our homes in safety,
God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.
God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.

Raging mad to bite her, there the wolf did steal,
But our God Almighty defended her with zeal.
Pure He wished to keep Her so She could never sin,
That first sin of man never touched the Virgin sainted.

River, roaring river...

He who's now begotten is our mighty Monarch,
Christ, our Holy Father, in human flesh embodied.
He has brough atonement by being born so humble,
Though He is immortal, as mortal was created.

River, roaring river...

Circle sky
Telling lies
Here I stand
At demand

And it looks we've made it once again
Yes it looks we've made it once again

Color sound
All around
Wing tip smile
Sees for miles

And it looks we've made it once again
Yes it looks we've made it once again

It's a very extraordinary scene
To those who dont understand
But what you have seen you must believe
If you can
If you can

Hamilton
Smiling down
Telling more
Than before

And it looks we've made it once again
Yes it looks we've made to the end

Hollow, carnival voice sings
Tunes of nobody's choice
And on a vacant lot
Someone just forgot
Standing all alone
Turning on it's own

Weary, merry go round
Grows slowly into the ground
And faded circus acts
Sorrow broke their backs
And their sadness cries
From their staring eyes

Still, small children come
And bring the harm of play
Spirits all alive
To drive the ghosts away

Useless merry go round
Tomorrow they'll tear you down
To build a parking lot
If it lives or not
It was just a toy
All it brought was joy

Did you buy your tickets for the war game?
Aren't you glad that your sitting in the back?
For the game is deadly having all the players
Aren't you glad it's a spectator sport

Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over
Can't you smell the fear?
It's all over

If you want to play the game, you must have playmates
Choose your side play guitar (???) but play to win
Don't be sad if you loose it itsn't over
Pick your side and begin the game agianIt isn't over

Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over
Can't you smell the fear?
It's all over

You don't have to play the game if you don't want to
You can sit at home and hear it on the news
They will show you colored pictures of the killings
They want you to feel that you're part of it too.

Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over
Don't you smell the fear?
It's all over
It's all over

Now that the party's over
Now that the noise is through
Now that the room is empty
There's only me and you
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you
There were so many people trying to talk to you
Telling you how they need you
Trying to get to you
I think that I might just fall in love with you with you

Party to my head (???)
Party (???)

Didn't seem to matter early on
But now that the people have gone
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you

Now that you know how I feel
Everything's up to you
Now that the party's over
Tell me hat I should do
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you...

Rosemarie, what's your faith?
Can't you see, straight
Straight into Rosemarie
Now why don't you quit?
Why did he, why did he split?

Have you ever asked yourself
Or didn't your eyes just pass yourself
Oh Rosemarie, Rosemarie, Rosemarie, Rosemarie, think!

Rosemarie, gotta hold on
Where has he, where has gone, gone, gone to
Rosemarie, spin, spin your tongue
Rosemarie, what's the key... stop!

All your friends and dreams are dead
It's time for you to lose your head
Oh Rosemarie, Rosemarie, Rosemarie, Rosemarie, think!

Rosemarie, you've gotta keep on holdin' on
Listen to me Rosemarie, where has he, where has gone, gone, gone to

Da da da, da da da da da da, da da da...
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da...

All your friends and dreams are dead
It's time for you to lose your head
Oh Rosemarie, Rosemarie, Rosemarie, Rosemarie, think!

Rosemarie, Rosemarie, Rosemarie...
Why don't cha, don't cha quit...
You keep on, keep on hangin', hangin' on...
But he's gone, but he's gone, but he's gone...
You keep, you keep hangin' on...
You've gotta, spin, spin, your top...
You've gotta, you've gotta, spin, spin, your top...
Tell me when...
You've got to use, use your head, Rosemarie, THINK!

I'm holdin' my hand out
Keepin' my head high
Tryin' to get out of mechanical night
When I get to the top of the clear crystal mountain
I'm gonna stay up there as long as I can

And look down
Diggin' the sights all around
Listenin' to all of the sounds
And look down, and look down, and look in

And my mind sends me reelin'
Breathin' and feelin'
I remember the time when I tried to come clean
But my interests collided, besides I was misguided
And who do you confide in when you trip on a dream?

And look down
Diggin' the sights all around
Listenin' to all of the sounds
And look down, and look down, and look in

If you want to come with me
And tell me what you see
Just step in beside me and do what you want
And you may see clearly
Though it sometimes is lonely
To be free is the only possession that counts

I'm holdin' my hand out
And keepin' my head high
Tryin' to get out of mechanical night
When I get to the top of the clear crystal mountain
I'm gonna stay up there as long as I can

Diggin' the sights all around
Listenin' to all of the sounds
And look down, and look down, and look down, and look down...
Look down, look down, look down...
Hold on, I'm comin'...

The sun that's falling from the south-western sky
Tells me that I must depart
So by sundown today
I'll be on my way
But I'll be leavin' my heart

It's not the country side that appealed to my eyes
It's the spirit and it captured my mind
But the things I tried to be made a wreck out of me
Now a different road I mind find

These things I think are new
I guess they're really old
It seems I've done 'em once before
Now to go back to that fork in the road
Takes all the strength of my soul and more

Oh good bye, good bye you cruel town
You've been a fair weather friend
Now I will go to some places that I know
Where things don't start just to end

These things I think are new
I guess they're really old
It seems I've done 'em once before
Now to go back to that fork in the road
Takes all the strength of my soul and more

Good bye, good good bye you cruel town
You've been a fair weather friend
Now I will go to some place that I know
Where things don't start just to end
Uh!

How insensitive
I must have seemed when she told me that she loved me
How unnerved and cold
I must have seemed when she told so sincerely

Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do, what can you do
When a love affair is over?

So now she's gone away
And I'm alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still, all the heartache in that last look

Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say, what can you say
When a love affair is over?

If your the girl that i know this (the rest of this line is unclear),
than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.
If your the chick I saw in the tall grass looking at someone through tinted blue glass, than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.

Cause I've never been this close before, to someone who didn't seem to mind. I've never found hellos before, I've only found goodbyes.

If your the girl I met in my daydreams, handing out flowers and chocolate ice cream, than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.
If your the girl that I talked to and said do you mind if I love you, than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.

Cause I've never been this close before, to someone who didn't run and hide. I've never found hellos before, I've only found goodbyes.

If your the girl I met in my daydreams, handing out flowers and chocolate ice cream, than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.
If your the girl that I talked to and said do you mind if I love you, than your more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk.

If you have the time would you keep me in mind
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind
If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone
And dial the number that you know
Will bring back the glow
That's been gone for such a long, long time
I feel like I'm just acting like a fool,
Talking to my pillow, once a happy fellow was I
I know that I'll get over you if I have to, but do I have to?
I don't want to spend another day being so far away
From the girl that I love

It's been gone for such a long, long time
I feel like I'm just acting like a fool,
Talking to my pillow, once a happy fellow was I
I know that I'll get over you if I have to, but do I have to?
I don't want to spend another day being so far away
From the girl that I love

If you have the time would you keep me in mind
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind
If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone
And dial the number that you know
Will bring back the glow
That's been gone for such a long, long time

Time and time again
naughty girls get me in trouble
when I fly too high
something's bound to burst the bubble

You say this is love
wonder if you're feeling lonely
tell me if you please
is this for this evening only

Or will it be for long, long time
or just a passing fancy
will it be for a long, long time
I feel as though it can be

I'll just what and see
what tommorow has to bring me
a love that is oh-so-true
or another girl who's free and easy

(Interlude)

So, I'll just wait and see
what tommorow has to bring me
a love that is oh-so-true
or another girl who's free and easy

Time and time again
and again...

Out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't hold true
In my storybook of you

Turn a page, back in time
That's all I can do
In my storybook of you

First in love, then afraid
Somehow every story must come to an end
Though it happened too soon
In my storybook of you

Out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't hold true
In my storybook of you

Mr. Engineer, slow the engine down some more.
You're movin' just a little too fast,
I've got my foot down clear to the floor.

Steam engine, Engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by.

Mr. Engineer, you see I've got a little problem here.
My baby, she's aboard your train,
She says she's never comin' back again.

Steam engine, Engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by.

She told me good bye, she said I'm leavin' you behind.
I think I'm gonna die, if I hear that whistle whine.

Mr. Engineer, slow the engine down some more.
You're movin' movin' just a little too fast,
I've got my foot down clear to the floor.

Steam engine, Engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by.

(Steam engines)Gotta keep on keep on rollin'.
(Steam engines)She's gonna leave me behind.
(Steam engines)I might as well go home.
(Steam engines)She's gonna leave me behind.
(Steam engines)I might as well go home.

My latest sun is sinking fast
My race is nearly run
My strongest trials now have past
My triumph is begun

Oh come angel band
Come and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home

Oh bear my longing heart to Him
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin
And brings me victory

Oh come angel band
Come and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home

Oh come angel band
Come and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home...
