Cable car, flying high Passing stars or wondering why Did she go or did she die I don't know Mountainside, not so green Snow is more than ever seen Will she come back in a dream I don't know Thoughts of her reminding me of a time I couldn't see anything but you and me together Colored cloud, on you go to a land you may not know If you see her tell her I'm so alone verse 4 |

Standing on a corner Nothing on my mind When walked past a woman She looked my kind I said a hey there woman What you got to do She took one look at me and said baby I'd like to be with you Hold on Wait a minute woman I ain't the kind to phase And I ain't that kind of woman, baby So she says She led me to a dwellin' Just along the street The best part of town baby We gotta be discreet Hold on (Hold on) Break Got to the apartment Number six sixteen My, what a place it was Best I've ever seen She headed to the bedroom Came upon the door Wait a minute, darling While I slip into something cool I was getting excited One thing on mind When she rushed out of the bedroom Said You'd better hide She slowed me my movements He caught me by the door What was left on me, baby Was landing on the floor Hold On |

Sipping at the wine I'm drinking all the time I'm drinking kinda slow And I'm hoping it won't go See when I get dry I just sit and cry over my baby Seems that in the past It was gonna last Somewhere it went wrong All the good times gone But I don't know why So I sit and cry over my baby Well, now, yeah I thought that, I thought that If we could take it, we'd love each other so much We'd be sure to make it But oh baby oh my baby Look what we've got There's nothing at all Thinking of the bad times Stretched out on my bed Images of you, girl Running through my head Wish that I could die So I lay and cry over my baby verse 1 chorus Look what we've got There's nothing at all |

Sitting here alone Drinking from an empty can of beer Wishing you were here Think I hear the bell Must be my imagination Hoping you'll appear Are you feeling well Would you write a letter just to say Had a lovely day I never realized How lonely I would be without you I guess I'll pull down the blind I've finished all the wine I guess I'll pull down the blind I feel I'm feeling fine Had a busy day Brought in the milk And saw the folks next door Who could ask for more Tomorrow leaves today I look at a photograph of you and me How's the family I guess I'll pull down the blind I've finished all the wine I guess I'll pull down the blind I feel I'm feeling fine |

Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name Or where she's been, or where she came from The last time I found love it only brought me pain The problems almost took me over I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for papa And fetching water And that's got nothing at all, that's got nothing at all To do with love Next time I meet a girl I won't tell her my name Or where I've been Or where I came from I'll take a hold of her And love her just the same No need to mention past acquaintances I just want someone to love me And someone to like the presents That I bought her 'Cause that's got something to do Yes, that's got something to do To do with love Each girl I meet comes up wronger And I can't take it all much longer No, I can't no verse 3 verse 4 verse 5 |

She walked into the room just like a dream I was spellbound into silence Do you know the way it feels The rock'n'roll changed to a symphony Appearing just like magic But I knew that she was real Then something deep inside of me said go ahead and try Ain't no use in holdin back Don't kiss the chance goodbye Hello to romance Is it goodbye to those one night stands Where you get what you want Such a crazy steal Hello to romance Hello to romance I walked across the room to say hello She raised her head and smiled at me I knew which way to go Once she spoke sweet music filled my ears For hours and hours and hours we talked Time seemed to disappear verse 2 chorus When you see the chance to win romance act before it slips away Don't wait until tomorrow To hear yourself say I should've done it yesterday Should've done it yesterday verse 2 chorus chorus |

Standing by a riverside
A river so deep and so wide Current's too strong for only one man I know because I tried I got eight oars - four on either side Is there anybody with me Eight hands four willing hearts Won't someone answer my plea Well I got in the boat I stayed afloat Some way across I was tiring Well I need someone to help me to get to the other side Along came son of Alabama south He said "I heard you calling If you don't mind the colour of my skin I'll help you not to fall in" Then suddenly Joe from out of Tokyo "If my eyes don't make you nervous I used to handle a junk back home" Said 'Can I be of service' Well we got in the boat we stayed afloat Halfway across we were tiring We got to row this boat together to get to the other side Two more oars only one seat left One more person to lean on A brotherhood boat to a land called home with our share of freedom Got in the boat stayed afloat There's no need to be tiring We rowed this boat together Happiness meets the other side We rowed this boat together Happiness meets the other side We rowed this boat together Happiness meets the other side |

Head into the sun you ain't the only one
To miss the last train back to your life Head into the sun all that the night has done Will fade if you hang on really tight There's always reasons for runnin' down the road Every time it snows You know it's so easy to take the time to grow You know this flight is Heading into the sun riding a little bit higher We are one we are one Just begun song of the sun Head into the sun you ain't the only one To blow the first few bars of the tune Head into the sun all that the night has done Will fade if you move on really soon There's always reasons for puttin' on the wheels Every time it's real You know it's easy to get into the feel You know this flight is Heading into the sun Riding a little bit higher We are one we are one Just begun song of the sun There's always reasons for puttin' on the wheels Every time it's real You know it's so easy to get into the feel You know this flight is Heading into the sun Riding a little bit higher We are one we are one Just begun song of the sun |

I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep No light, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read Making love with you Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired What more could I ask?

Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman singing a song A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Woo! I saw her head up to the table With a tall walking big black cat Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at" When suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run I jumped down and across the table When I heard somebody shooting a gun Well, the DA was pumping my left hand And then she was a-holding my right Well, I told her "Don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared" Well I've gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall Well, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all, had it all Had it all, had it all Had it all, had it all |

We look at the same old moon (Looking at the moon) But you're not here beside me I'll pay you back with interest I'll pay you back with interest Too many people need me I've got so much, so much to do But when my travelling is over I'll pay you back with interest I'll pay you back with interest |

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep No light, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read Making love with you Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired What more could I ask? There's nothing left to be desired Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak So 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 Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak So 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 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 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 |

She goes away for a couple of days So you phone a few number you fancy a change You say you'll miss her but deep down inside There are thoughts of another girl waiting somewhere for you She's been away for a couple of days The affairs weren't so good so you're mending your ways You realise that there's nobody else who can do what she does for you You tell yourself don't be a fool Don't let her go chase as hard as you can Or you'll be the loser Swallow your pride you can still be a man She'll never refuse you She deserved to be loved, she wants to love you If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do. Baby I was lonely, still love you only, but I was a bad boy Know you couldn't see me, thought you'd never leave me, so I was bad boy Even though I'm trying, there is no denying I am just a bad boy Met a little baby, thought she was a lady, still I was a bad boy She gives me everything a girl's supposed to do She gives me everything still I can't be true She gives me everything, she gives me everything Going off to different places All I see is different faces I love them all but not like you She deserves to be loved, she wants to love you If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do. She deserves to be loved - Yes she does, you know she does She deserves to be loved - Even if she goes away She deserves to be loved - No one else can take her place She deserves to be loved - You'll be the loser if you let her go She deserves to be loved - She gives you everything a girl's supposed to do She deserves to be loved - You love them all but she's the one for you She deserves to be loved - Yes she does, you know she does She deserves to be loved - Even if she goes away She deserves to be loved - No one else can take her place |

Just like a top the world goes spinning round Nobody knows what's going on I've found Even from Jerusalem to old Japan Nobody seems to have a definite, definite plan Must be a peaceful way for us to go Even the simplest of man must know The situation's getting worse and worse One day the bubble's gonna burst But don't be frightened lady We will never let them take your boy to war No don't be frightened lady We will never ever go to war no more Why don't they finish it all We are only people and we're terribly small Why don't they finish it all Do they think that people don't mean nothing, nothing at all chorus Students are marching now in every land They won't be shifted just like grains of sand If we don't get together pretty soon We'll do the same thing on the moon |

Oh woman get your head out of curlers,
time to get your butt out of bed! Get down your hats and your baggage my child, going back home - getting back to the homestead. I'm-a gonna heat me some water, put a shine upon my shoes. Telephone my mac keep the room above Joe's, 'cause we're coming back, coming back to the homestead. Ev'rything is packed gettin' back to the homestead. This time, this time we'll stay - baby. I know that we could have made it, we had ideas in our heads. And I wish somehow we could have saved it, but we're Gasoline Alley bred. Yet the years havn't really been wasted, and I know it in my head. We did good for the life that we tasted, 'cause we're Gasoline Alley - Gasoline Alley bred! Woman did you really believe it, I did ev'rything a man could do. Breakin' my back just to make us a dime. That don't mean a thing when noone wants to know you. Oh, woman I know how you're feeling, I've seen the hurt upon your face. How many times do you think that I've cried, knowin' ev'ry day your heart was gettin' broken, holdin' back your pride 'till you were nearly chocking; oooh - let's get away - baby. I know that we could have made it, we had ideas in our heads. And I wish somehow we could have saved it but we're Gasoline Alley bred. Yet the years havn't really been wasted and I know it in my head. we did good for the life that we tasted, 'cause we're Gasoline Alley - Gasoline Alley bred! (Gasoline alley...) Gasoline Alley bred!

Do you find it hard to tell me To tell that you really love me 'Cos I find it hard to tell you To tell you that I really love you And I know what's in your heart In your mind, in your body, and your soul But it's easy when we whisper Not letting people know. We wanna shout it out loud But we can't let people know We wanna shout it out loud But our love is not for show chorus I've got something you've got nothing a child, a home of my own It's so hard for me to break it I can't break it, I can't make it on my own chorus x2 |

Isn't it nice to be someone Someone you've dreamed that you are Isn't it such a nice feeling The feeling you've wished upon a star You have slipped down a rainbow Discovered your own pot of gold You are living your wildest dream Use them you'll never grow old Just like Cinderella But your clock will never strike twelve You have something to envy That everyone wants for themselves You have slipped down a rainbow Discovered your own pot of gold Chasing moonbeams and catching the wind and living stories you've been told verse 2 Isn't it nice to be somewhere In places you've dreamed that you've seen Isn't it such a nice feeling being where you've never been verse 1 |

She looks from side to side The tear drops fill her eyes As once again she hears the sound of shouting turns to the window pane Funny there's rain again Inside her head she hears the sound of shouting They are fighting again All she feels is cold and pain She don't know whose side to take Mother's or Father's She can't know that soon they'll part That they broke each other's heart They are breaking up, but she don't understand it She leaves the room in fright Each time they start to fight She runs up to her bed But there's no sleeping Clings to her teddy bear But even teddy bear can't stop her weeping Little girl dry your eyes Your Ma and Pa one day will put you wise Little girl don't you cry You'll understand what happened by and by verse 2 |

Perfect lady housewife Her totally detached sepulchre is painted white its gentique suite unscratched A veritable show case It shines like a new pin Everything is in its place And there's a place for everything A, B, C, D. That's the way it's gotta be 1, 2, 3, 4. Count them up and know the score Foot upon the parquet Makes her awfully vexed Onset of vile anarchy Oh Lord, whatever next Messiness is no excuse It's showing no respect Random factor introduced Just goes and spoils the whole effect chorus Efficient official His patience overtaxed Don't these people know that rules Can never be relaxed He could be humanised You would never imagine Everyone is categorised And there's a place for everything chorus |

Give her a hand 'cos she gave a good show Her makeup was right for the occasion She did what she had to do, she said what she had to say She played her part to perfection She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public acclaim's not the same such a shame The star of the show she was true to herself and everything went as reported Rumours about herself came along That's when it all got distorted chorus What a good show she gave Happy to go on the stage Was she to know it would change Can she go on feeling strange chorus |

Don't you know it's time for love Don't you know it's time for love It's time to tell them about our love Secretly you won my heart Secretly you won my heart Now all the world knows we'll never part What can I do What can I say We both know we love each other We both know we love each other It's time to tell them about our love chorus verse 1 It's time to tell them about our love Don't you know it's time for love |

You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of But who are you to tell her who to love That's up to her, yes and the Lord above You better move on Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond rings I believe she'd be happy with me without those things Still you beg me to set her free But my friend that will never be You better move on I can't blame you for loving her But can't you understand man, she's my girl And I, I, I, I'm never gonna let her go 'Cause I, I, I, I love her so Well let me tell you how I think you better go now, I'm getting mighty mad You ask me to give up the only love that I've ever had Maybe I would, oh but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go You better move on You better move on You better move on |

You say that you want me and now that you've got me you're gone
Think what you're doin' or else you'll regret what you've done Don't come back tomorrow and say what we did wasn't right You'll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night Have you ever loved somebody Don't you know just what it's like Hurting someone that you're close to Have you ever loved all night all night Remember what happened the last time that you said goodbye Remember the saying that once bit and I'll be twice shy It's no use me crying there is no denying it's right When thinking has ruined the feeling that we had to fight Have you ever loved somebody Don't you know just what it's like Hurting someone that you're close to Have you ever loved all night all night If you hear people talking now Will you laugh or cry If you cry I'll sympathize with you If you laugh I'll die If you laugh I'll die You say that you want me and now that you've got me you're gone Think what you're doin' or else you'll regret what you've done Don't come back tomorrow and say what we did wasn't right You'll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night Have you ever loved somebody Don't you know just what it's like Hurting someone that you're close to Have you ever loved all night all night Have you ever loved somebody Don't you know just what it's like Hurting someone that you're close to Have you ever loved all night all night |

You say that you want me I've no cause to doubt you My friends tell me different that's all They say that I'm blind but I know all about you I know that I'm heading for a fall I know that I'm heading for a fall I seem to be hypnotized by all your beauty a subject to your beck and call Your arms magnetize me when I'm here beside you I know that I'm heading for a fall I know that I'm heading for a fall Or am I wasting my time Or am I wasting my time Or am I wasting my time Or am I wasting my time What is it about you that tempts me and taunts me I can't understand it all If I try to leave you I know that you'll haunt me I know that I'm heading for a fall I know that I'm heading for a fall |

Would you like to slide down a rainbow Catch a falling star in your hands Chase a moonbeam right by your window Close your eyes and you'll be there In a land of dragons and castles be a knight in armor that shines on a horse with trappings of silver Close your eyes and you'll be there You will be there Hoping that no one will come and wake you up You will be there While the mooning is peeping as you lie a-sleeping in your dream world chorus See the witches fly on their broomsticks stirring cauldrons casting their spells Kisses changing frogs into princes Close your eyes and you'll be close your eyes and you'll be close your eyes and you'll be there |

Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling Open up your eyes looking at the people Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling smiling Wake in the morning Look out of my window down on the street as the people pass by Wonderful faces awake but asleep rushing around with appointments to keep rushing around with appointments to keep Bald-headed banker with bowler on head Credit for debit but still in the red Schoolgirl in pigtails and freckly nose trying to remember her Latin prose trying to remember her Latin prose chorus Open up your eyes open up your eyes Open up your eyes open up your eyes Isn't it surprising what you'll find Open up your eyes open up your eyes What are they thinking What's on their minds Are they all looking for something to find Decreasing circles running around searching for something they've already found searching for something they've already found chorus Open up your eyes looking at the people |

When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window
reminds of her When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window It was raining hard the trees looked bare the night I met her She was wet her hands were cold the wind blew through her hair Though I'd known her quite a long time we were just good friends So it didn't seem so strange inviting her back home We sat by the fire The flames brought out something in her Melting all the cold projecting warmth I never knew As the rain beat on my window did she understand that in the glow of dying embers everything was planned When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window reminds of her When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter We made love later on that night while the rain beat on my window I can't forget the things that happened while the rain beat down on my window Next time I saw her I knew she didn't want to know me If I disappointed her I think she should have told me Can't she understand I only tried to be a man She made me feel so ashamed of everything I am When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window reminds of her When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window reminds of her When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window reminds of her |

Leaves come falling on a winter's day
Robins weep and watch them sail away Floating on the water is autumns last farewell These are signs that will never change Signs that will never change Rivers once were frozen now they're free Showing winter's going rapidly Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell These are signs that will never change Signs that will never change The changing faces of the seasons Are those that cannot be compared Except in love it sometimes happens Love grows but all too soon it dies Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell These are signs that will never change Signs that will never change Signs that will never change |

And the power you have over won't ever let me be It's always holding me to you And the strange things you say to me Why do you play with me It's just too sad to see Stop right there Tell me what you're doing to my mind in there Tell me what you're doing Am I blind Long ago everything about you was for me to hold Now my thoughts about you won't stay cold And in time I might slip away into the light of day But with you I must stay it's true Wishful thinking will just bring me down It's plain to see you own the ground I'm standing on chorus verse 2 |

My sadness it is growing I'm sure it's started showing This feeling's getting stronger I can't hold back out much longer It's swelling deep inside emotions I can't hide Then the heartaches begin I'm telling you The heartaches begin I need someone to guide me someone to reconcile me to take away this pain before it starts again But no one listens to me Can't control what's set in deeply chorus Four stone walls surround me An empty shell's all you see My former self's departed A man who's broken hearted Loneliness is what I fear holding on to all that's dear chorus I'm telling you child |

I've just come in from out of the rain It's wet outside the water runs down a drain I go to bed 'cause my head's full of pain And drip drip it's driving me wild Drip drip it's driving me wild Outside the window there's a pipe wearing thin It lets the water do a dance on a tin I try to sleep but it's making a din And drip drip it's driving me wild Drip drip it's driving me wild Water on the brain water on the brain Water on the brain water on the brain Drip drip it's driving me wild Drip drip it's driving me wild I toss and turn and my patience is weak Go to the bathroom door and I take a peak yeah The bath tap has started a leak And drip drip it's driving me wild Drip drip it's driving me wild Drip drip it's driving me wild Drip drip it's driving me wild |

I press my nose against the pane of the little toffee shop Day after day I save my pennies to spend at the toffee shop Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock I stand on the cold stone street A penny every day that I have saved to buy myself some sweets The nice little lady old and grey with glasses and shawl Gives love away to good little boys who do as they are told She's always telling stories of her childhood days She couldn't buy the things that I can for families in those days Imagine the sweets that I can buy with six pennies of my own I always take my time to choose the sweets that I'll be taking home Gobstoppers in my pockets brown sugar in my hand lollies you suck that last all day and sugar that looks like sand |
