I was resigned to my fate When I got there early She'd arrive late You can say she's gone forever Or just sit tight and wait She said I was unprincipled That I was not the first Like the Phoenix coming back From the ashes, uh-huh I know what's good, But I know what trash is In the head-lights, In the highlights of her hair... Hit the head lines But she's not there: Many happy returns Many happy returns These are the lessons I could have learned Return. Many happy returns And these are the letters I should have burned Okay, I'm sad, not blue Okay, remember All that matters to me now Is the message I sent her Like the world, spinning 'round On its axis, uh-huh I know democracy But I know what's fascist When she's gone, all I got to learn Is the law of diminishing return When she's here, one thing I've found Things get better second time around Many happy returns Many happy returns These are the lessons I could have learned Return. Many happy returns And these are the letters I should have burned Okay I'm sad, not blue Okay, remember All that matters to me now Is the message I sent her Now she's gone, she's gone away Now she's gone forget her Coming back another day If you'd only let her Now she's gone, she's gone away But she's gone forget her Coming back another day So why resurrect her?

When your world is full of strange arrangements
And gravity won't pull you through You know you're missing out on something Well that something depends on you All I'm saying, it takes a lot to love you All I'm doing, you know it's true All I mean now, there's one thing Yes one thing that turns this grey sky to blue That's the look, that's the look The look of love When your girl has left you out on the pavement (Goodbye) Then your dreams fall apart at the seams Your reason for living's your reason for leaving Don't ask me what it means Who's got the look? I don't know the answer to that question Where's the look? If I knew I would tell you What's the look? Look for your information Yes there's one thing, the one thing that still holds true (What's that?) That's the look, that's the look The look of love If you judge a book by the cover Then you'd judge the look by the lover I hope you'll soon recover Me I go from one extreme to another And though my friends just might ask me They say "Martin maybe one day you'll find true love" I say "Maybe, there must be a solution To the one thing, the one thing, we can't find" That's the look, that's the look The look of love That's the look, that's the look The look of love That's the look, that's the look The Look of love |

When the postman don't call on Valentine's day
And Santa Claus don't come on a Christmas Day That umbrella won't work on a rainy day Don't ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef And the only pleasure treasured is in map relief The choice is yours, sure, saint or thief Don't ask me I already know When they baked your cake in little slices, Kept your eyes on rising prices, Wound up winning booby prizes; I'm sure you'd like to think you know what life is Find destiny through magazines Liplicking, unzipping Harpers and Queens From here to eternity, Without in-betweens, Don't ask me, I already know With your heart on parade and your heart on parole I hope you find a sucker to buy that mink stole School for scandal, Guess who's enrolled? So ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef When the postman don't call on Valentine's Day When the only pleasure treasured is in map relief When you don't tell the truth, that's the price you pay When I'm shaking a hand, I'm clenching a fist If you gave me a pound for the moments I missed And I got dancing lessons for all the lips I shoulda kissed I'd be a millionaire I'd be a Fred Astaire |

Well you took me home
And you took me back But deep down inside The feeling just died and I... Couldn't see why From indigo to royal blue I travel far but no one will do Anytime, anyplace Every shape every face brings... Memories of you Blue to be blue To be blue Ocean blue Fair weather friends might drift away When summer ends and skies burn grey So I walk to the ocean - Pilot these shores. Just... Thinking of you It's time we kissed the clouds goodbye From now on in, it's strictly blue sky Come rain and shine The outlook is still fine... I'm Thinking of you Blue to be blue To be blue Ocean blue I stand at the head of the queue There's mutiny's every crew Wishin' and wonderin' 'bout you - Ocean blue |

Debonair lullabies
In melodies revealed In deep despair on lonely nights He knows just how you feel The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits In miracles made real Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night You know you're right just to hold her tight He soothes it right, makes it out of sight And everything's good in the world tonight When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings The front door might slam But the back door it rings And Smokey sings, he sings Elegance in eloquence For sale or rent or hire Should I say yes and match his best Then I would be a liar Symphonies that soothe the rage When lovers' hearts catch fire Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night You know you're right just to hold her tight He soothes it right, makes it out of sight And everything's good in the world tonight When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings Smashing the hell With the heaven she brings Then Smokey sings, he sings (Would it be true to say) Luther croons Sly's the original originator James screams Marvin was the only innovator But nothing can compare Nothing can compare When Smokey sings When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings She threw back the ring When Smokey sings Smokey sings Smokey sings |

From an early age
I was taught to respect That a broken heart girl Ain't a thing you collect Close your eyes and say Nothing lasts a day You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you Close your eyes and say Honour love obey You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you. It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love. January...February...March and April May June July sees you go by I see love walk away. Didn't use a blade... A bullet or a gun You poisoned the moonlight When you put out the Sun It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love |

On Sunset Boulevard Much harder still In Notting Hill A northwind blows And carries me home Carries my heart, carries my soul When cool silks they turn to suede When young dreams are torn and frayed The South feels so cold and grey Today! Today the North's too many miles away Today! Today I got to get away I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged It's all gone silent The light begins to fade One man unplugs The penny arcade And carries me home Carries my heart, carries my soul I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged One sweet bouquet The flowers strewn The petals scattered Here in the North No dreams are shattered I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged No we don't feel angry No we don't feel betrayed Unlike our fathers We don't remember better days No we don't feel angry No we don't feel betrayed We just live In this day and age |
