The Hollies

All I really want to do is baby
be friends with you
I don't want to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Classify ya, simplify ya, deny,
defy or crucify you
All I really want to do is baby
be friends with you
Baby be friends with you
No, I ain't lookin to fight with you
Frighten you, up-tighten you
Bring you down or chain you down
Drag you down, or bring you down
All I really want to do is
baby be friends with you

All I really want to do is
baby be friends with you
I don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or respect you or reject you
All I really want to do is
baby be friends with you

(Dylan)
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand

* The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry

*Repeat

Well, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free

*Repeat

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
Well, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
in the wind
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
in the wind

They say every thing must be replaced
They say every distance is not near
Yet I remember every face
of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Standin next to me in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shoutin so loud
Cryin' out that he was framedAny day now, any way now
I shall be released

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonely organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
Oh so bad
Baby, I want you
Once a politician leaves
Upon the street where mothers weep
The saviours who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin from my broken cup
And askin me to open up the gate for you
Woh baby I want you
I want you
I want you
Oh, so bad
Baby I want you
Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it
Baby I want you
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him now was I
I did it because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I want you, baby I want you
I want you

Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
I'll be your little baby tonight
Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight
Well the mockingbird's gonna sail away
You won't regret it
The big fine moons gonna shine like a spoon
You won't regret, you won't forget
To get your shoes off
do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight
verse 3
I'll be your baby tonight

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand here in the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
Oh, she takes just like a woman
Yes she does
And she makes love just like a woman
Yes she does
And she aches just like a woman
Yeah, but she breaks just like a little girl
Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That baby can't be blessed
'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls
It was rainin from the first
I was dyin of thirst
So I came in here
And your longtime curse
Hurts but what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear
I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again, introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments,
others jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy
but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
everybody's gonna jump for joy
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
I like to go just like the rest,
I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
just ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath the trees
feeding pigeons on a limb
but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
all the pigeons gonna run to him
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
We'll meet again soon I said
??? me heated brow

Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Half ??? prejudice leaped forth
Break down all hate I scream
Lies at ? is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dream
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundation deep somehow

Oh you can read out of your bible
You can fall down on your knees
Pretty mama, and pray to the lord
But it ain't gonna do you no good
You're gonna need
You're gonna need my help someday
Well, if you can't quit your sinnin'
Please quit your lowdown ways
Well you can run down to the White House
You can gaze at the Capitol Dome
Pretty mama, you can pound on the President's gate
It'll do you no good
Well you can run down to the desert
Throw yourself on the burnin sand
You can raise up your right hand pretty mama
But you better understand
You can hitch hike on the highways
You can stand alone by the side of the road
You can try to ??? a ride back home pretty mama
But you can't ride in my car
verse 1
Quit your lowdown ways

Come gather round people
wherever you may roam
Admit that the waters around you have grown
Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is a savin
Well you better start swimmin
or you'll sink like a stone
for the times they are a changing
Come writers and critics
who prophesy with your pen
Keep your eyes wide the chance
won't come again
Don't speak too soon
for the wheels still in spin
And there's no tellin who that it's namin
For the loser now will be later to win
for the times, they are a changing
Come sailors and congressman
please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway,
don't blacken the hall
For he who has lost is he who has all
There's a storm outside and it's ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows,
it'll rattle your walls
for the times, they are a changing

It'll soon shake your windows
and it'll rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers
throughout the land
Don't criticise what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
are beyond your command
And your old road is rapidly agin'
So get outta here or if you can lend a hand
For the times they are a-changin'
Come gather round people
wherever you may roam
Admit that the waters around you have grown
Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is a savin
Well you better start swimmin
or you'll sink like a stone
for the times they are a changing

verse 1

For the times they are a-changin'...

This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
If your memory serves you well
We're gonna meet again and wait
So I'm gonna pack all my things
And sit there for it gets to late
No my will come to you
With another tale to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
Wheel's on fire
rollin down the road
Let's notify my next of kin
this wheel shall explode
If your memory serves you well
I was gonna confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailors knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
Wheel's on fire
rollin down the road
Let's notify my next of kin
this wheel shall explode
This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get your favours done
And after every I failed
And there was nothin more to tell
You knew that we should meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire
This wheel's on fire

Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be a breezin
Like the stillness in the wind
For the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in
Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the shoreline sands will be shaken
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the morning will be breakin
Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smilin
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words they use
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they are spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And be buried at the bottom of the ocean
verse 2
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour when the ship comes in
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a touchin
And the ships wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin

(Sylvester)
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

(Clarke)
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

It's over, well over
In my mind and in my heart
It's over, well over
But then again, it didn't have a good start
You'd tell me, try to sell me
It could have been all I asked
It's over, well over
Yes, there it flows away a distant past
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
- 간 주 중 -
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
It's over, well over
And we can't revive what's passed
It's gone now, moved on now,
But then again, it didn't have a chance to last
(No, no, no, a chance to last)
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road

(Hicks / Lynch)
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

(Hicks / Lynch)
Where where is the promised land
Where where is the promised land
It can't be found in Viet Nam
It can't be where the eagle has landed
If we want peace for every man
We've gotta make the world demand it

Now I see the flag is flying
We've got to help them stop the dying
We must bring back the soldier boys
We mustn't let them die for nothing
War's a better game when played with toys
Let's change the game and let's start loving

Soldiers never fight alone
There's just as much fighting going on at home
Protests, violence, marches
It's all going on at home
Bring them all back home (repeat)

(Sylvester)
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

(Hicks / Lynch)
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

(Sylvester / Clarke)
I look to the east and I look to the west
trying to find a place where there's rest
You know where I go, you know it's the same show
people turning their backs, not wanting to know

Look there son, you'll find hungry mouths
saying please feed me well I'm only a child
All around you'll find fallow ground
but you can't plow a field with a hundred missiles

You know the score
You know it's war
Death and destruction
We gotta change it now
Lord only knows how
to turn it into more

Where have all the rainbows gone
Where where where
My, oh God, says he's seen better days
Where, where, where

Speak to me, Lord Speak to me, Lord
Come on down with Your fiery sword
Rid this place of all its hate
Show Your face before it's too late

You know the score
You know it's war
Death and destruction
Death and destruction

Death and destruction
We gotta change it now
Lord only knows how

I'm gettin out and steppin' in
To somewhere where it's warmer
First come will be first served
You'd better put in your order

Been out in the cold far too long
Gonna set the town on fire (fire)
If you're not with me you better step aside
This boy's out for the kill kickin' higher

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

Toein' the line ain't my style
And I ain't looking for trouble
I wasn't born I was carved out of stone
So don't try bustin' my bubble

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

I'm gettin out and steppin' in
To somewhere where it's warmer
First come will be first served
You'd better put in your order

Been out in the cold far too long
Gonna set the town on fire (fire)
If you're not with me you better step aside
This boy's out for the kill kickin' higher

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through

Do I love you
You can bet your life that I do-do-do
Do I love you
I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
It's all down to on you


I've been this way everyday
thinking of you

chorus x2

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do
I've been this way everyday

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
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

Hey Willy your mother calls you Billy
your father calls you silly
but you really are a pretty one

Hey baby you're dressing like a lady
The fellows call you Sadie
but you really are a pretty one

You don't care
what they say about your hair
'Cause the bad man's smiling
every time he sees you comin' yeah

Willy is the singer in a rock'n'roll band
Every time he shows his face
put away your

Oh yeah Willy's gonna show them now
No no no no Willy's gonna go somehow


My name's Willy gonna turn on the lights
playing rock'n'roll music to early early night
Can't stop dancing to the rhythm in your feet
Listen to the drummer Yeah listen to the beat

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
In the end

Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
In the end

Love, love, love

Love takes you back
To the first love you had
Remembering

They say you can't forget
Your first taste of love
Memories

Love, love, love

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
Don't try pretend

Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
Don't try pretend

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
In the end

Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
In the end

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

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
I was jiving along in my big cadillac
saw a thumb going up, I said Driver go back
Played her a track from my latest LP
Getting bad vibes she hadn't recognized me

She said she didn't know me but my name's been in lights
giant size neons on the strip every night
The camera man did the best that he can
Still she said I don't know you I just can't understand

I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway

I was trying to be nice but I'm not into that
I usually make it without any chat

She was taking it easy, taking it slow
I said Come on baby, I'm ready to go

I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway

She said Drop me off here and to my surprise
you wouldn't believe it, it was Beverly Drive
Some sort of commotion, what's happening here
We've arrived at her premiere, I shouldn't be here

She's a star, yeah
She's a star, I didn't know it
She's a star anyway

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

Words that were spoken in the anger
of youth only half truth.
Touched by the chilbride
while
deep inside her lie real truth.
He was the passion of the spring

he was the baby.

And half forgotten in the passing
of time.
The real crime brother and brother
with backs to each other
the war sign.
and in the passion of the spring
came the baby.

Come back
mama
mama sing him a song.
Tell him all that was wrong

tell him all that you had that was bad.
Tell him all that was good mama.
You know that you should mama

remember the good mama.

And with the light that you show
let him grow


let him go
let him go

let him go
let him
let him
let him go.
Words that were spoken in the anger
of youth only half truth.

Touched by the chilbride
while
deep inside her lie the real truth.
He was the passion of spring

he was the baby.
