Graham Nash

How does it feel
When life doesn't seem real
And you're floating about on your own
Your life is uncertain
So you draw the curtain
Pretending there's nobody home

But don't theorize
Look in your eyes
They can't tell lies
Though you disguise what you see
The mirror is free

We once had a savior
But by our behavior
The one that was worth it is gone
Song birds are talking
And the runners are walking
A prodigal son is coming home

Don't theorize
Look in his eyes
They won't tell lies
But if he defies what you see
He'll give you the key

Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself

We needed a tutor
So built a computer
And we programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying
The dead and the dying
A silent majority

But don't theorize
Look in their eyes
Are they telling lies
The ones that they learn on TV
What a way to be free

Be yourself
Be yourself
Free yourself
Free yourself
See yourself
See yourself
Then you can be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself

They say the mountain is high
And you’ll never move it.
Ah, but before I believe that,
They’ll just have to prove it.
I have a hammer in my hand,
And faith in my heart.
I’ve already waited too long,
And I’m ready to start.

Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day.
Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down.
Oh what a wonderful sound.

There is a wall around the church,
And a wall around the prison.
I think the wall around your heart, baby
Is blocking out your vision.

So put a hammer in your hand,
And faith in your heart.
You’ve already waited too long
Aren’t you ready to start.

Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day.
Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down,
Oh what a wonderful sound.

Empty eyes meet mine in the moonlight.
You're thinking that it's all true.
I wanna talk but I can't get the words right.
I can tell that it's killing you.
But I don't know what we're gonna do.

So don't, don't listen to the rumours.
Now who's been talking to you anyway.
Don't listen to the rumours.
You don't wanna know what they're saying.

Silk stockings and a call from a stranger,
I know that it don't seem right.
I'm not gonna say that I've been an angel.
Just get you through the night.
But I think it's time we got things right.

So don listen to the rumours.
Now who's been talking to you anyway (he's been fooling you)
Don't listen to the rumours,
You don't wanna know what they're saying.

What's all this talk about truth and devotion,
Is there anything you're sorry for.
I think it's time we got it out in the open,
If it's just a thing you can't ignore.
'Cause you're the only thing I'm living for.

So don't, don't listen to the rumours.
Now who's been talking to you anyway (he's been fooling you)
Don't listen to the rumours,
You don't wanna know what they're saying
Don't listen to the rumours. (you poor girl, it's time you found out)
Now who's been talking to you anyway.
Don't listen to the rumours. (I saw him last night.)
You don't wanna know what they're saying.
Don't listen to the rumours. (don't you know what he's been doing.)
Don't listen to the rumours. (he's been fooling you.)
Don't listen to the rumours. (you poor girl, it's time you found out)
Don't listen to the rumours. (I saw him last night.)

Here in this room of glass and steel
With the TV and the tube I'm watching with my eyes
Things are getting spacier quelle surprise
From the bar the circus calls
Check the smile and crawl the halls it all comes back to me
With the life of a rock and roll refugee
And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone
And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more
And I hope you find the strength to carry on
When will we ever learn
It's all too much it's such a burn when it all goes up in flames
The trick is trying to balance all the pleasure and the pains
And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone
And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more
Still I hope you find the strength to carry on
In this world of flesh and bone
Check the girl and wander home alone it's all the same
I'm sick and tired and tired and sick of playing all these games
And it's hard, so hard
Glass and steel, glass and steel
Glass and steel

I got a rock.
You got a rock.
We got a rock.
They got a rock.

I got a stick.
You got a stick.
We got a stick.
They got a stick.

I got a gun.
You got a gun.
We got a gun.
They got a gun.

But I got a wife.
I got a family.
I got a country.
I want a future.

I got a bomb.
You got a bomb.
We got a bomb.
They got a bomb.

But I got a wife.
I got a family.
I got a country.
I want a future.

But I got a wife.
I got a family.
I got a country.
I want a future.

But I got a wife.
I got a family.
I got a country.
I want a future.

With your innocent eyes
You’ve been telling me lies
You’ve been making a fool of me
If it’s all a disguise
I’ve been living a fantasy
You’re lying with your innocent eyes
This situation I can do without
So don’t trouble yourself to call, I just found you out
While your lying eyes are saying
You wanted only me
Your heart is with another
And you’re saying what you think I’ll believe

With your innocent eyes
You’ve been telling me lies
You’ve been making a fool of me
If it’s all a disguise
I’ve been living a fantasy
You’re lying with your innocent eyes
How did I ever believe you
It was no surprise
Ah, just one look and I fell
For your innocent eyes
You’re lying with your innocent eyes
You’ve telling me lies
You’ve been making a fool of me
You
You

I started out to get your full attention.
But I just have to say.
There's just one thing that I forgot to mention.
You'd better stay away.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

You always brag about your latest venture.
How much you're gonna make.
I'm not opposed to making lots of money.
But how much does it take.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

Don't want to hear about your latest journey.
Or where you're gonna be.
Don't want to look at all your family photos,
It's all too much for me.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

Where was I yesterday?
Have I been there once before.
And who was I yesterday?
Don’t wanna be him no more.

It’s a newday (whoa, whoa, etc.)
It’s a newday.

Where will I be tomorrow?
I hope I’ve never been there.
And who will I be tomorrow?
I really hope I’m still here.

It’s a newday
It’s a newday
It’s a newday
It’s a newday

I’m gonna look for the light.
You’re all I need to make it right.
I’m gonna look for the light. (whoa, whoa, etc.)

Saw it in the summertime.
It was grey and dirty.
Concrete and barbed wire, cutting through the city.
Break on through to the other side,
Was written in graffiti.
The wall was long and it was high.
Isn't it a pity that you and I,
Learned to cry before we learned to crawl.
We've only just come far enough to fall.
And all the world is watching over the wall.

Mines and machine guns,
Try to keep the people down.
Passport policemen,
Try to keep the others in.
How long can this go on?
Keeping everyone apart,
Tear all the fences down,
Tear down the wall around your heart.

It's up to everyone.
So start, it really can be done.
Take part,
The battle can be won over the wall.

Over the wall.
Over the wall.

How bad has it got to be,
If they wanna get over here.
How good has it got to be.
If they have to keep 'em there.
Let everybody go.
Stop feeding all the fears.
Let everybody know.
There's got to be some way out of here.

Over the wall.
Over the wall.
Over the wall.
Over the wall.

In the morning light I once told you
I will love you all of my life,
Then I noticed that you were asleep,
But I told you anyway.

You were lying warm and tender,
Looking lovely in the light,
Then I started to think of what you mean to me
And I kissed you.

You can really open sad eyes,
Just like they say you can.
You can really open my mind,
To see the better man I am
No more looking through sad eyes.

And when the morning came, you looked up to me.
You took away my pain
When you told me what could be.
So goodbye sad eyes.

You can really open sad eyes,
Just like they say you can
You Have really opened my mind,
To see the better man I am
No more looking through sad eyes.
Sad eyes,
Sad eyes,
Sad eyes,
Sad eyes.

I took a train to the Berlin station.
Rendez vous with a Paraguayan agent.
He had the film, I had the vault-key.
I checked the stills, that's when he caught me.

A sudden blow from behind.
A perfumed note saying,
Better luck next time.

We met again at a Turkish bath in Turkey.
On the trail of a smacked-out Iraqi.
He had the name of a dame from the K.G.B.
Who knew that you were doing some work for me.
You scrubbed his back, I bugged the tub.
He spilled the beans and you pulled the plug.

“See you in Prague, my love? she said.
“See you in Prague, we'll go to bed,
And then we'll disappear into the fog,
See you in Prague?

On the run from the Cuban secret service
Major Cruz was a man with a purpose.
He ran me down to a hotel in Geneva.
You checked in he was poised with a cleaver.

One little job his eyes rolled back.
Curare looked just like a heart attack.

“See you in Prague, my love? she said.
“See you in Prague, we'll go to bed,
And then we'll disappear into the fog,
See you in Prague?

You have this habit of turning up
In Budapest, Suez, Nicaragua.

“See you in Prague, my love? she said.
“See you in Prague, we'll go to bed,
And then we'll disappear into the fog,
See you in Prague?

If I had ever been here before I would probably know just what to do
Don't you?
If I had ever been here before on another time around the wheel
I would probably know just how to deal
With all of you.
And I feel
Like I've been here before
Feel
Like I've been here before
And you know
It makes me wonder
What's going on under the ground

Do you know?
Don't you wonder?
What's going on down under you.

We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before

Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground,
Mother Earth will swallow you,
Lay your body down

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you

Stills: If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
in the same language.
Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend,
you're from the other side,
There's just one thing I got to know,
Can you tell me please, who won?
Stills: Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now,
haven't got sick once.
Stills: Probably keep us both alive.

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy,
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be,
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be,
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy...
Horror grips us as we watch you die,
A
Stare as all human feelings die,
We are leaving - you don't need us.

Go, take your sister then, by the hand,
lead her away from this foreign land,
Far away, where we might laugh again,
We are leaving - you don't need us.

And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm,
Out of the south over my shoulder,
Guess I'll set a course and go

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
Just 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
Just 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
Just, to love you
All I need is the air
That I breathe

(Clarke)

The sun is overshadowed by the presence of the moon
Night time has fallen she'll be comin' home soon
Leave the door wide open, ah, so she won't need a key
Lock it behind you baby draw the blinds so no-one can see
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let don't let me down
Don't let don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground

Silence is golden, ah, for me there's just one choice
The music of your laughter, rippling of your voice
The freshness of the evergreen, ah, fades as if too shy
Can't compete with your beauty, couldn't if it tried
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let, don't let me down
Don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground

Let's build something to climb on
Making the show a live one
No need for make-up let's be real
Give all in what your giving
Making life worth living
Being alive's how you should feel
Oh and don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground

Don't want the sun to be shining
Raising his eyebrows at the moon
Saying I told you so she wouldn't show
Well don't speak too soon
I hear her footsteps walking on the outer floor
Well it could be, I don't know, I don't know for sure
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let, don't let me down
Don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground

Come on back, can't live without you
Come on back, (I need you, I need you, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I want you, I want you, I)can't live without you
Come on back, (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I love you, I love you, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I need you, I need you, I) can't live without you

(Hicks / Horton-Jennings)
It's late, and the week-end's near
You could say I can't wait
Till the gang gets here
Eight, and the Angels are roaring
Shining those dips
Straight line for the strip

If I back out
Fake a black out
At my night on the chicken run
Need some moonshine
Doctor goodtime
Keeping my nerves in line
Down on the run

Cy, the pack leader's wild
Even preaches to ride
In a Brando style
Fast, two shadows are closing
Passing like knives
Short cut on our lives

If I back out
Fake a black out
At my night on the chicken run
Needs some moonshine
Doctor goodtime
Keeping my nerves in line
Down on the run

When the boys are called together
To hand me out a feather, I'm through
Sweating in my leather so I guess its now or never
Something I've gotta do, just gotta do
What I gotta do

It's late, and the week-end's near
You could say I can't wait
Till the gang gets here
Eight, and the Angels are roaring
Shining those dips
Straight line for the strip

Shining those dips
Straight line for the strip
Passing like knives
Short cut on our lives

Shining those dips
Straight line for the strip

(Clarke / Sylvester)
Didn't believe in The Bible
Didn't believe the Good Book
Lord, Lord please help me, help me take a look
These chains that I'm wearing really ain't my style
Lord, Lord please help me, help me think awhile
I know that I did something wrong
I got into bad ways
Well the judge, yes he put me down, for five thousand days

Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do

The cell I am in is only six feet wide
And six feet to the roof
There's a window that's strung with only three bars
Singing me the truth
Fifty and seventy don't seem right
Seventy ain't my age
When I leave this place with a new face
It's to turn another a new page

Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do

Didn't believe in The Bible
Didn't believe the Good Book
Well now Lord, Lord please help me, help me take a look
These chains that I'm wearing well they really ain't my style
Well now Lord, Lord please help me, help me think awhile

Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do

(Clarke / Sylvester)
Love makes the world go round and around
Love makes the world go round and around
Love makes you feel three feet off the ground
Love makes the world go round

You should know it's happened before
You should have known what was in store
You should know not to do it encore
You should have known before

You did it your way it never worked out
Mr Right turned out Mr Wrong
You won't change your ways because you believe
In love is where you belong

You did it your way it never worked out
Mr Right turned out Mr Wrong
You won't change your ways because you believe
In love is where you belong

Can't you see, love's thrown out of the door
Can't you see, no-one loves anymore
Can't you see, my world's on the floor
Without love can the world go round
And around, and around, and around, and around
Without love, without love, can the world go round, yeah

(Hicks / Lynch)
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
When I was needed (I wasn't there)
I was out on the road
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there)
I should have been right by her side
Like a good man ought to be
But this rock'n'roll music sure gotta hold on me

I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
When my shack was burning (I wasn't there)
I was out on the road playing with my rock'n'roll band (I wasn't there)
While someone else put out the fire
I was wailing my guitar
Somehow this rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me

Somewhere I know, I sold my soul
Sold it to the devil or the king of rock'n'roll
Once I found out, what the music was all about
Picked up my baggage
And I joined in a big rock show
I knew that I had to go

I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
There for my wedding (I wasn't there)
I was back on the road
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there)
But when I came off stage that night
I found her waiting patiently, good girl
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold
Rock'n'roll music sure got a hold
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me

(Clarke)

Lucy you're a floozy
You ain't choosy
You've been flashing those big blue eyes
At the other guys
Don't be surprised
If you don't end up with a
Baby cool it, don't over do it
Always have something left as your standby
Lucy baby keep me in mind

You're so reckless
A diamond necklace
Ain't no substitute for how you feel
Such a steal
Lucy baby let's make it real

Red light outa sight is what you're saying
You don't really think that's true
No help needed you're displaying
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

As the queen bee I'll make your honey
I'll even populate your hive
I've got a sting that ain't so funny
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Can I try you
Let me buy you
Just a piece of my delight
For the night
You'll find it alright
Lucy baby keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Out on the town kicking around feeling bluesy
It's getting late I can't afford to be choosy
Should be home and dry by now
tried every trick in the book but

Another night Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night Saturday night and I'm losing

The DJ plays a song from the past I remember
I hold her tight in my arms she surrenders
It's the same old record playing
but it's a different girl that's swaying

chorus

As we move around the room
whispering things with my eyes closed
I feels that you're here
Then the music stops I open my eyes
My fantasy ends We're not even friends

So leave me to catch my ride pay my fare on my way home
The same thing every week on my own
Next time around you might be there
my luck might change but until then

chorus

Back off baby
don't lean too hard
I'll come 'round when I'm ready
I ain't finished my playing 'round
don't want to go steady

You gotta give me time
Give me time give me time
You gotta give me time
Give me time give me time

The feeling in me ain't the same as yours
I'm still first-class flying
You've gotta wait till I reach the ground
No need to be lying

Don't try so hard
Don't spoil your chance
Don't try so hard
Don't spoil your chance

I woke up in the morning
Heard a mockingbird sing
Was he laughing at me
I went to the basin washed the sleep out my eyes
So I could see

A note on the bed close to where my lover should be
She slipped away in the night
The writing was shaky and with tears on the sheets
I'm sorry we had a fight

So farewell sweet lover farewell
I'm sorry we never said goodbye
So farewell sweet lover farewell
Left with a tear in your eye

Must've been brewing for a very long time
In the wardrobe the hangers are bare
Don't know how you did it it must've been planned
You even took your favourite chair

So goodbye my lady goodbye
You won't find no tear in my eye
So goodbye my lady goodbye
Going out tonight to get high


Found myself at Charlies scene
Drinking all fashions
sticky painted movie queen
Winked her eye at me
That's how it happened
Diamond shoes satin dress
flashin' flashin' flashin' flashin'

Woke up in the morning heard my mockingbird sing
And it was singin' for me
The lady I met last night's here by my side
She's good company

Well hello sweet lady hello
Good morning with a smile
Well hello sweet lady hello
This lady's gonna make it alright
This lady's gonna make it alright
This lady's gonna make it alright

Lady lady
This lady's gonna make it alright x4

Shook my head out of dreams
Reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
but I've got no notion of moving from where I am

Though my legs won't move
I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf an article labeled
waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found

I'm down No one to hear me calling
I'm down No one to see me falling
I'm down

Had my ways
with days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn't realise

When you're used to one thing
it's hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
well she ain't your mother
How do you cope
with a thing like that

chorus

I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
someone I should know

I'm down
I'm down

To the folks who brought me up
I'm not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
they thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
to be the last one to know

Maybe someone's out there
looking for me
Left on their own
couldn't afford to clothe me
And I I don't even know my real name

chorus

I'm down
I'm down
I'm down

Maybe we're gonna fly
Get on the scene
King and Queen
Layin' To the music if you know what I mean

Downtown get around
Searchin' for a mean sound
Itchy feet
wanna dance to the beat
Layin' To the music if you know what I mean

Comin' on strong
won't be long
Reachin' out to where I belong


I'm in my stride
Good music to ride by
Horse riders in the sky

(repeat)

Drinkin' wine from a slipper shoe
Baby can we boogaloo
Move to the right
Slip in tight
Layin' to the music all night
Layin' to the music it's all right
Layin' to the music all night

(Sylvester / Clarke)
Heading out on my way to nowhere
just a traveling man
Hitching rides along the highway
from whoever I can

Gotta stop someplace somewhere
and put some leather on my shoes
They're the only pair that get me there
any horizon that I choose

I know when the cold wind blows
my coat will keep me warm
I've got no woman's love
to call my own

I saw you lying there
a cast-off from another man
So I picked you up took you home
and home is on my back

Lonely hobo lullaby is my song
Lonely hobo lullaby gets me along
My shoes my coat my jeans
and anything else I own
We're a family without a tree
no roots to hold us down

verse 1

verse 2

(sylvester / clarke / hicks)
Johnny was a pusher on the east side
Pushing anything to be pushed
Laid something on a guy who didn't get high
Didn't know the guy was a hood

Wheeling-dealing johnny got frightened
Thought the best place was out of town
Packed up his bags and threw them in the back
Packed up his bags and threw them in the back
Of his chevy put his foot flat down

Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back
You better beware there johnny
'cause the monkey's packin' a gat
Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway
Johnny johnny get away

You better beware there johnny
There's a monkey on your back

Johnny thought he'd do something clever
Turning south on the old coast road
Pushing 94 swerving leaning on the door
Trying to shake off his heavy load

Crossed the state line feeling safer
Drinking in the corner of a bar
In walked a guy looked the barman in the eye
Said hey is johnny in here

Chorus

You better beware there johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Be good

You better beware there johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Look out johnny 'cos the monkey's packin' a gat
Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway
Johnny johnny get away

You better beware there johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back

(repeat)

(Sylvester / Clarke / Hicks)
Got a call from the doctor
He said hold on my friend
You've gotta know what I'm knowing
Please come right away

He said Lucy's been seeing me
and things just ain't right
You'll have to hold things together
'cos Lucy ain't much time

Now should I tell her or keep it inside
Making her happy by feeding her lines
How am I gonna tell the children
that Mama's goin' away
I couldn't love another woman
Oh Lucy please stay

If I'm gonna lose you
after all this time
I'm gonna make life more beautiful
I'm gonna make you make you feel fine

If we make tomorrow
we'll make it better every way
We'll keep on building
'cause we're living day to day

chorus

I couldn't love another woman
Lucy please stay

Baby baby
baby Lucy please oh won't you stay

I need you I need you
Please don't go please don't go
Lucy please please won't you stay

I want you to know that I love you
I love you
I'm gonna miss your sweet love
Lucy won't you stay

I need you, I need you.
Please don't go, please don't go.
Lucy, please, please, won't you stay?

I want you to know that I love you.
I love you.
I'm gonna miss your sweet love.
Lucy, won't you stay?

You better look out
look out your window tonight
There'll be a hot cat on your tin roof
layin' it loose

There'll be a full band
to give me a hand
The moon will be a spotlight
for this one-night stand

You better look out
look out your window tonight

chorus

You gotta reach out
and try to grab my glitter suit
Snatch your hand full of stars
take a trip in my seven league boots

Come silver surfin'
you'll know you had a ride
My star-treck music's gonna take me high
You better look out
look out your window tonight

Dimensional intentional sensual
Immeasurable pleasurable hitch a ride

Don't leave it too late
or you won't get a ticket on my cruise
Don't be the last one

The road is long with many a winding turn

That leads us to who knows where who knows where

But I'm strong strong enough to carry him

He ain't heavy, he's my brother


So as we go, his welfare is my concern

No burden is he to bear we'll get there

For I know he would not encumber me

He ain't heavy, he is my brother

If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness

That everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness

Of love for one another

It's a long long road from which there is no return

While we're on our way to there why not share?

And the road doesn't weigh me down at all

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Every day, it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way

Every day, it's a a-getting faster
Everyone says go ahead and ask her
Love like yours will surely come my way

Every day seems a little a longer
Every way loves a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?

Every day, it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way

Every day seems a little a longer
Every way loves a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?

Every day, it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way

Love like yours will surely come my way
Love like yours will surely come my way

Every day, every day, every day ...

(Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling, I love you)

(Listen to me to what I say
Our hearts can be nearer each day
Hold me darling, please listen to me)

(Montgomery / Petty)
Heartbeat, why do you miss
when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why does your love kiss
stay in my memory?

Pittery-Pat.
I know that new love thrills me.
I know that true love will be.

Heartbeat, why do you miss
when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why do you skip
when my baby's lips meet mine?

Heartbeat, why do you flip
then give me a skip each time?

Pittery-Pat.
Sing to me love's story
Bring to me love's glory.

verse 1 ...

You're gonna say you miss me
You're gonna say you kiss me
Yes, you're gonna say you love me
'cos I'm gonna love you, too

I don't care what you told me
You're gonna say you'll hold me
Yes, you're gonna say you love me

After all is said done

You're gonna say you miss me

There you go and baby, here am I.
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry.
Well, golly gee, what have you done to me?
I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

Do you remember baby, last September
How you held me tight, each and every night?
Well, oh baby, how you drove me crazy.
I guess it doesn't matter anymore

There's no use in me a-cryin'.
I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.
I've thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time.
I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore

Love can make a fool of you
You do anything it wants you to
Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When your baby don't treat you right

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

You know love makes fools of men
But you don't care, you're gonna try it again
Time goes by, it's a-passing fast
You think true love has come at last
But by and by you're gonna find
Your crazy love has made you blind

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Love can make a fool of you
You do anything it wants you to
Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When your baby don't treat you right

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

It's funny honey, you don't care
You never listen to my prayer
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When someday you want me, oh well
I'll be there, wait and see

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When someday you want me, oh well
I'll be there, wait and see

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

Maybe baby, ooh ...

Well, if you see old Annie give her a lift
'Cos Annie's been working on the midnight shift

Annie puts her hair upon her head
Paints them lips a bright, bright red
Wears that dress that fits real tight
Starts staying out to the middle of the night
Says that her friends give her a lift
Well, Annie's been working on the midnight shift

Well, she acts a little funny
Seems a little strange
Starts spending your money for a brand new thing
Tells you that she wants to use the car
Never explains what she wants it for
Brother, it ain't no if's
Well, Annie's been working on the midnight shift

Early in the morning when the sun comes up
You look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough
You tell her "Honey, get outa bed"
She says "Leave me alone, I'm just about dead"
Brother, these ain't no if's
'cos Annie's been working on the midnight shift

If you got a good mama that's stayin' at home
You better enjoy it 'cos it won't last long
When you think everything's all right
She starts going 'round in the middle of the night
Brother, there just ain't no if's
'cos Annie's been working on the midnight shift
Brother, this ain't no if's
'cos Annie's been working on the midnight shift, yeah

I'll just leave that up to you
If you don't believe, I'll understand

Do you recall a girl that's been in nearly every song?
This is what I heard
Of course, the story could be wrong

She's the one, I've been told
'cos she's wearing that band of gold
Peggy Sue got married not long ago

Take your time, I can wait
All of our love I know will be mine
If you take your time

Take your time, though it's late
Heart strings will sing like a string of twine
If you take your time

Take your time and take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time, go with me through
Times 'til all times end

For our love, the love I know will be mine
If you take your time

Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me

Don't you know that I love you?
Let me show why I'm true blue
When I know our love is true
Don't keep your love from me

If you would say to me today
The time for love is now
Well could I sway your love my way
Then I'd say 'Tell me how'

Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me

If you would say to me today

Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby, until you tell me, maybe
That some day, well, I'll be through, well

That'll be the day, when you say good-bye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
Oh you say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'cos
That'll be the day when I die

When Cupid shot his dart he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me and you told me boldly
That someday well, I'll be through

That'll be the day, when you say good-bye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
Oh you say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'cos
That'll be the day when I die

Think it over what you just said
Think it over in your pretty little head
Are you sure that I'm not the one?
Is your love real or only fun?
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

Think it over and let me know
Think it over and don't be slow
Just remember all birds and bees
Go by two's through life's mysteries
Think it over, yes just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

All right, all right

Think it over and think of me
Think it over and you will see
The happy day when you and I
Think as one and kiss the blues goodbye
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

(Holly)
What to do now that she doesn't want me?
That's what haunts me
What to do?
What to do to keep from feeling lonely?
Want her only.
What to do?

The record hops and all the happy times we had.
The soda shop, the walks to school now make me sad.
Oh, what to do? I know my heart is showing,
still not knowing
what to do.

(repeat)

What to do?
What to do? (to do, what to do, what to do) x8

Wishing, dreaming, wishing

Wishing that I could see you every day
Wishing that I could steal your heart away
Dreaming of the time I could hold you tight
Wishing that the time would come tonight

I've been hoping all along
Things would turn out right
If I could find a wishing star
Then I would spend the night

Wishing that I could see you every day
Wishing that I could steal your heart away

Then I could spend the night

Wishing that I could see you every day
Wishing that I could steal your heart away
Dreaming of the time I could hold you tight
Wishing that the time would come tonight

Wishing, dreaming,
Wishing, dreaming,
Wishing, dreaming,
Wishing, dreaming

Well you can't be my lovin' baby
You ain't gotta style
I'm gonna get some real good love
Gonna drive those cool cats wild

I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine

Oh I'm gonna show you a-way so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be cool, she'll be wrong
She'll be cool and twice as strong

Gonna roll roll on down the line
Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine

Why! come on now

Yeah, Move on down the line
Wanna get some love that's truly fine
She'll be cool, she'll be long
She'll be cool and twice as strong

Gonna roll, roll on down the line
Gonna get some love, a love that's truly fine

Oh let's sing it again one time now

Yeah, move on down the line
Wanna get some love that's truly fine
She'll be cool, she'll be long
She'll be cool and twice as strong

Gonna roll, roll on down the line
Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine

Yeah, move (Yeah gonna move)

I'm gonna move (Yeah gonna move)

I'm gonna move (Yeah gonna move)
