I love you
'Cause you tell me things I want to know And it's true That it really only goes to show That I know that I Should never, never, never be blue Now you're mine My happiness makes me cry And in time You'll understand the reason why If I cry, it's not because I'm sad But you're the only love that I've ever had I can't believe It's happened to me I can't conceive Of any more misery Ask me why I'll say I love you And I'm always thinking of you I love you 'Cause you tell me things I want to know And it's true That it really only goes to show That I know that I Should never, never, never be blue Ask me why I'll say I love you And I'm always thinking of you I can't believe It's happened to me I can't conceive Of any more misery Ask me why I'll say I love you And I'm always thinking of you You You |

I don't wanna spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show There's nothing for me here so I will disappear If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know I've had a drink or two and I don't care There's no fun in what I do if she's not there I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long I think I'll take a walk and look for her Though tonight she's made me sad I still love her If I find her I'll be glad I still love her I don't wanna spoil the party so I'll go I would hate my disappointment to show There's nothing for me here so I will disappear If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know Though tonight she's made me sad I still love her If I find her I'll be glad I still love her I've had a drink or two and I don't care There's no fun in what I do if she's not there I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long I think I'll take a walk and look for her |

If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true
And help me understand 'Cause I've been in love before and I found that love was more Than just holding hands If I give my heart to you, I must be sure from the very start That you would love me more than her If I trust in you, oh please don't run and hide If I love you too, oh please don't hurt my pride like her 'Cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vain So I hope you see that I would love to love you And that she will cry when she learns we are two ?Cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vain So I hope you see that I would love to love you And that she will cry when she learns we are two If I fell in love with you |

Did you ever see the faces of the children
They get so excited Waking up on Christmas morning Hours before the winter sun's ignited They believe in dreams and all they mean Including heavens generosity Peeping 'round the door To see what parcels are for free in curiosity And Tommy doesn't know what day it is He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is How can he be saved from the eternal grave? Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently And unaware of everything Playing poxy pinball Picks his nose and smiles and pokes his tongue at everything I believe in love but how can men Who've never seen light be enlightened? Only if he's cured Will his spirits future level ever heighten And Tommy doesn't know what day it is He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is How can he be saved from the eternal grave? Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? Can you, can you, can you hear me? How can he be saved?

Nothing to kill or die for; no religion, too Imagine all the people, living life in peace, you-hoo You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope that you will join us And the world would live as one Imagine no possessions - I wonder if you can? Nothing to keep only from greed or hunger - a brotherhood of man Imagine all the people, sharing all the world, you-hoo You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope that you will join us And the world would live as one |

I've been torn apart since I met you
Don't know how I'll see it through Troubled times are on their way Wish that you could stay Now and then I feel like giving up Instead I'll cry Alone And wonder why Friends tell me I'm acting like a fool The way we live breaks all the rules The lies I tell don't seem so strange Wake me up, I'll change Now and then I feel like giving up Instead I'll cry Alone And just say goodbye Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away Love, I can't believe believe I made you feel this way Last time that I looked into your eyes Telling lies that made you cry Troubled times are on their way Wish that you could stay Now and then I feel like giving up Instead I'll cry Alone And wonder why Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away Love, I can't believe I made you feel this way Now and then Now and then Love I feel like giving up |

It was just yesterday
That I saw your face Looking in my window I can't recall the place we first met It seems, but I guess that you know Hadn't thought about it For a long, long time But still she's here inside me Never off my mind I try to hide it from you, but you know And I hear it over and over again Do you recall the day I first came your way? And I had to know you When you stepped in the way And I smiled at you Though I never meant to Hadn't thought about it For a long, long time But still she's here inside me Never off my mind I try to hide it from you, but you know And I hear it over and over again You can talk about tomorrow All your talkin' doesn't mean a thing All our yesterdays are sorrow Can't stop remembering Hadn't thought about it For a long, long time But still she's here inside me Never off my mind I try to hide it from you, but you know And I hear it over and over again It was just yesterday That I saw your face Looking in my window I can't recall the place we first met It seems, but I guess that you know Hadn't thought about it For a long, long time But still she's here inside me Never off my mind I try to hide it from you, but you know And I hear it over and over again |

We used to walk in the sun with our heads held up high
We used to stand on our own, and we never asked why We used to do everything we were told not to do But now we all stand in line like the rest of them do And now it's gone, gone, gone Tell me, when did things go so wrong? We used to laugh in their face at the things that they said And if we had to be them, then we'd rather be dead And now we all stand in line like the rest of them do We let it all slip away, tell me, what did we do? And now it's gone, gone, gone Tell me, when did things go so wrong? And now it's gone, gone, gone Tell me, when did things go so wrong? All right, yeah And now it's gone, gone, gone Tell me, when did things go so wrong? We used to walk in the sun with our heads held up high We used to stand on our own, and we never asked why We used to do everything we were told not to do But now we all stand in line like the rest of them do And now it's gone, gone, gone Tell me, when did things go so wrong?

I used to travel in the shadows
And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste There's too much to lose Girl you say anything at all, and you know that you can call And I'll be right there for you First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake What else can you do [Chorus] I'll say anything you want to hear I'll see everything through I'll do anything I have to do Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you People talk and people stare, tell them I don't really care This is the place I should be And if they think it's really strange for a girl like you To be in love with someone like me I want to tell them all to go to hell That we're doing very well without them you see That's just the way it is and they will see I am yours and you are mine the way it should be [Chorus] Now if I seem a little wild, there's no holding back I'm trying to get a message to you I won't take anything from anyone I won't walk and I won't run, I believe in you London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run Together we'll be Inside, outside, got my pride I won't let him take you from me [Chorus] |

> Blue period, black comedy
Such a joke I've played on me I let you go And now I know a world of uncertainty Now I think about the days When I let you down in so many ways That's the time I want to cry And the time I wonder why and pray My apathy is tragedy I'm content to stay inside This emptiness is killing me I can run but I can't hide And you loved me all along When I always did you wrong That's the time I can't forget And it fills me with regret always when you think that you have won Then your heartache's just begun Blue period, black comedy Love's a clown, now laugh my way I think of you Much more than I'd ever be willing to say Now I don't want to pretend I was glad to see us ending this way That's the time I want to cry And the time I wonder why and pray Blue period, I'm looking for someone who Is just like you, to help end this blue period |

> You know I really wanna see you when you know I might not
(And you make me want you more when you hurt me a lot) I say I really love you and you say that you don't (And it really turns me on when you say that you won't) CHORUS The blues before and after I get the blues before and after I'm with you The blues before and after I get the blues before and after loving you Sometimes I need to hear you voice Sometimes I don't want to know (I get so tired of tryin' to win you I just don't want to know) You're takin' just what you need And then you're well on your way (I hear the same old story almost every day) CHORUS It's a shame that you won't see me when I need you tonight Cause I know that if you did then everything would be right And I've tried my very best to give the things that you need But the blues they seem to follow me I never succeed I wanna take you in my arms and you just don't wanna know (When I finally get to touch you, feels like forty below) Just as always you have gotten your way Just a normal complication in a typical day CHORUS ~wc~ |

Sentimental gestures never meant that much to me
But if I had her here today I'd shed a tear for all the world to see [Chorus] Cut flowers sent to a girl with sentimental ways Cut flowers meant more to her on ordinary days A gentle girl who needed all the love I had to give But I was blind to her and would not give What she needed most to live [Chorus] Cut flowers pressed between the pages of a book she gave I go to her and say, "I'm sorry," Then I put cut flowers on her grave [Chorus] |

She's written in the wind.
I see her face everywhere I go. She follows me in my dreams. I wake with teardrops on my pillow. Love comes and goes. Everybody knows I'm alone at midnight. I spoke with her on the phone. It's been three years since we said hello. The years flow by like a dream. We talked a while, then she had to go. Love comes and goes. Everybody knows I'm alone at midnight. Teardrops are falling along down. My heart is calling to you. Midnight is calling. I hear the sound So sad and lonely for you. If you see her around, Won't you please tell her I said hello. The years flow by like a dream. I wake with teardrops on my pillow. Love comes and goes. Everybody knows I'm alone at midnight. |

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended I was halfway paralyzed. She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul. Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep, Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep. Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band And she stood just like Bill Wyman Now I am her biggest fan. Now I know i'm one of many who would like to be your friend And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them. Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep, Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep. Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town. Called you up to have a drink, Your roommate said you weren't around. Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them. Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep, Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep. Behind the wall of sleep. Behind the wall of sleep. Behind the wall of sleep. |

Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
Even my hangover's fine. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday. Hung my mind out on the line. Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy. Now, I know that nothing lasts. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday, Everything is not the same. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday. Think I'll even change my name. Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy. Now, I know that nothing lasts. And I can't help it if I'm not the one you need. It doesn't matter if I'm still the lost ball in the weeds. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday, Flower pot, man, looked my way. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday. I can see what he can't say. Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy. Now, I know that nothing lasts. |

Saturday night and it's gettin' late
I'm gettin' hungry, I just can't wait Not just any kind of burger will do I'm being hit by those White Castle blues White Castle blues I think I'll get some crisp onion rings To compliment 10 of those little square things An orange soda or a milkshake will do I'm being hit by those White Castle blues White Castle blues I was first introduced to those bastards by Duke On a hot summer night when we went out to cruise But memories such as Bobbo and puke Are just part of the saga of White Castle blues Saturday night and it's gettin' late I'm gettin' hungry, I just can't wait Not just any kind of burger will do I'm being hit! Hey! (x8) [Random quotes] |
