Manfred Mann

There she was just a-walkin' down the street,
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do.
Poppin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet,
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do.
She looked good, LOOKED GOOD
she looked fine, LOOKED FINE
she looked good, she looked fine
and I nearly lost my mind.
Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me,
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do.
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be,
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do.
We walked on WALKED ON
to my door, MY DOOR
we walked on to my door,
then we kissed a little more.
Wo-o-o-oh, I knew we were falling in love,
yes I did, and so I told her all the things
that I'd been dreamin' of.
Now we're together nearly every single day
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do.
We're so happy and that how we're gonna stay
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do.
Well I'm hers, I'M HERS
she's mine, SHE'S MINE
I'm hers, she's mine,
wedding bells are gonna chime.

Now we're together nearly every single day

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night (x2)

But she was...

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night (x4)

With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin'
The calliope crashed to the ground

But she was...

I gave you all of my lovin
Everything I could
Now you say you don't love me
Well there's no reason why you should
But baby don't ask me what I say
Don't talk about it
You make my heart feel sad
Don't ask me what I say
Cause I might tell you
It was a low down trick
A low down trick

I must admit it (Don't you ask me)
You never told me no lies (Don't you ask me)
But you told me no truth (Don't you ask me)
Hey baby that you can't deny
Now girl don't ask me what I say (I don't know)
Don't talk about it (I don't know)
You make my heart feel sad (Don't you ask me)
Well don't you ask me what I say (I don't know)
Cause I might tell you
It was a low down trick
A low down trick

I asked my brother (Don't you ask me)
Will you tell me true (Don't you ask me)
What will you say (Don't you ask me)
If your woman done the same to you
You said don't ask me what I say (I don't know)
Don't talk about it (I don't know)
You make my heart feel sad (Don't you ask me)
Don't ask me what I say (I don't know)
I-iii might tell you
It was a low down trick
A low down trick

I just got out my little red book
The minute that you said good-bye.
I thumbed right through my little red book
I wasn't gonna sit and cry.
And I went from A to Z;
I took out every pretty girl in town.
They danced with me, and while I held them,
All I did was to talk about you.
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There is just no getting over you.
No girl who is in my little red book,
Just ever could replace your love,
And each girl in my little red book
Knows you're the one I'm thinking of.
Won't you please come back to me?
Without your precious love I can't go on.
Where can you be? I need you so much.
All I do is talk about you,
Hear your name and I start to cry
There is just no getting over you.

"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Not my girl"

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I told them all I had faith in you
I just kept on sayin':

"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
She don't go with other guys
& I don't think she would tell me lies"
My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere & I should use my head
But I didn't listen to a word she said
I kept right on sayin':

"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
She's not like these other girls, you see
& I believe she's in love with me
Oh no no no no no, not my girl"

Well, you might have had a last-minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you accepted my ring
& now I'm glad that I just kept on sayin':

"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Not my girl, not my girl

Smokestack Lightning, shinin' just like gold, .. ohhh, don't you hear me cry.

Harmonica Solo. end.

You know I love you,I treat you good,I try to do,everything I should
But you shouldn't lie an threaten me,when all of the town,
Know are coming days when I put you down
Tell me, tell me baby, what you gonna do, what you gonna do
Tell me baby,what you gonna do

How can you do it,treat me so bad,
Don't you understand you driving me mad
Now will come a day when I will leave you
And you know baby how that will grieve you
Tell me, tell me baby, what you gonna do
C'mon try to tell how will you do

you know it's true,I did my best
But the way you treat me,I get so depressed
you know baby,I'll take away myself
And then one day you'll need my help
Tell me, tell me baby, what you gonna do
What you gonna do

My name it is nothing, my age it means less
The country I come from is a part of the Free West
I was taught and brought up there its laws to abide
And that the land that I live in has God on its side

Oh, the history books tell it, they tell it so well
The cavalries charged, the Indians fell
The cavalries charged, the Indians died
For the country was young with God on its side

Oh, the first World War, it came and it went
The reason for fighting I never could get
But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead when God's on your side

And then the second World War, it came to an end
We forgave the Germans and now we are friends
Though they murdered six million, in the ovens they fried
The Germans now, too, have God on their side

But now we have weapons of chemical dust
And if fire them we're forced to, why then fire them we must
One push of the button and a shot the worldwide
And you never ask questions when God's on your side

'Tho many a long hour I've thought on this
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you, you will have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side

And now as I leave you, I'm weary as hell
The confusion I'm feelin', there ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head and drop to the floor
That if God's on our side, He'll stop the next war

Just a hunk o' steel
Yeah and just a plank o' wood
Give a little bit of bad lu-uck
Mmm, just a bit o' goo-ood

I could be so happy
With this life of mine
But you know I'm so sad baby
So sa-ad, all the ti-i-ime

That's why life baby-why, oh yeah-eah-eah
It's no good without you

Really, now son
Yeah, yeah that's my life baby-why
Mmm, it's no good without you

Let me tell you 'bout it now
I ain't got no money
I can't find no work
I could've been a good man

Mmm-yeah, a good man and not a jerk
If things could've been different
We could'a had some changes made
But you went away child

Lord knows, you should've stay-ay-ayed
That's my life baby-why
Oh-oh yeah-eah-eah, it's no good without you

Baby, it's been hard for me since you've been gone
But you left me with the strength to carry on
Though it hurts so much, I've accepted the fact we're through
'Cause the greatest gift in life I got from you

CHORUS:
Baby baby you gave me somebody to love
You gave me somebody to love
Wo wo oh oh oh oh oh oh

Memories of nights when we stayed out till dawn
& evey time we kissed, a brand new world was born
Baby, it's all right; go & do what you gotta do
'Cause the greatest gift in life I got from you

(chorus)

(instrumental)

Oh baby it's all right; go on, do what you gotta do
'Cause the greatest gift in life I got from you

Always onward rode the 600 (5-4-3-2-1)

Ah but once they're down they really blundered (5-4-3-2-1)
Uh huh, it was the Manfreds

The soldiers waited at the gate for weeks (5-4-3-2-1)
& onward on horses to the city they sneaked (5-4-3-2-1)
Pulled out & then, was it the Greeks? (5-4-3-2-1)
Uh huh, it was the Manfreds

If the song of the songbird
Could replace my wrong word
Then my dear, that's the song I would borrow

CHORUS:
& tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
& you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

If the song of the swallow
Could reveal my sorrow
Then my dear, he would sing just for you

(chorus)

Just tonight, while in flight, on your windowsill daylight
To tell you all of my tears

Come on & sing just once, little swallow

On every tree there sits a bird, singing a song of love
On every tree there sits a bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard
Could break my heart without a word singing a song of love

A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

A tear for him, a tear for me, A tear for the love he swore
A tear for him and one for me, and one for under the cedar tree
And one for where ever my love my be, and then I shall weep no more

A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow i'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

Drivin' down the street just the other day
I saw this real fine girl & stopped & said "You're goin' my way?"
She said, "Thanks for the ride
But before I get inside
There's just one thing that I wanna say"

(title twice)

I drove to her house & dropped her by the gate
I thought, I'm doin' all right, so I asked for a date
She said "Meet me at 9


& you'd better be on time
'Cause I'll offer you to death if you show up late"

(title twice)

What in the world is wrong with this chick now?
Somebody tell me, what makes her tick now?
Some chicks do you wrong but this one wrongs you doubly
I never saw a girl who was so hubbly bubbly!

(title x4)

I put a spell on you because you're mine
You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always runnin' 'round
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine

I put a spell on you because you're mine
You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always runnin' 'round
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you

Listen to me, baby
I'm trying to make you see
That I want to be with you, girl
If you want to be with me

CHORUS:
But if you gotta go
Well, it's all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor boy, baby
Trying to connect
But I don't want you thinkin'
Oh that I ain't got any respect

(chorus)

Now I'm not trying to question you
To take part in any quiz
It's just that I don't have a watch
& you keep askin' me what time it is

(chorus)

Now I don't want to make you give anything you never gave before
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon; it'll be too dark for you to find the door

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the sky
When she moves she walks so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
Pretty flamingo pretty flamingo
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

There's no living without your loving, baby
I love you too much

If I can't love you till the day I die
Then baby, oh baby, what good am I?
If I can't reach out & know that you'll be there
Then this ol' world ain't spinnin' anywhere


There's no living without your loving
Without the magic of your tender touch
There's no living without your loving, baby
I love you too much

& I wouldn't want to live my life through
Knowing in my heart I never will have you
Oh, if I can't hold you & kiss you anymore
Then what on earth am I living for?

Baby, it's been hard for me since you've been gone
But you left me with the strength to carry on
Though it hurts so much, I've accepted the fact we're through

Some get the gravy, some get the gristle
Some get the marrow bone
Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare
Some watch the paint peel, some watch their kids grow
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big deal American Dream

Took my dream down by the sea
Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
Logs and sails and shell oil pails
Down where the waterskiers glide

Some turn to Elvis, some turn to Africa
Some turn to rambling round
For a clean sky and a drinking stream
Who let the greedy in ?
Who left the needy out ?
Who made the salty sea ?
Tell them we're hungry for a sweeter fare

Took my dream down by the sea
Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
Logs and sails and shell oil pails
Down where the waterskiers glide

Some get the gravy, some get the gristle
Some get the marrow bone
Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare
Some watch the paint peel, some watch their kids grow
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big deal American Dream

I'm gonna' break out of the city, leave the people here behind.
Searching for adventure, it's the kind of life to find. Tired of doing
day jobs with no thanks for what I do. I know I must be someone, now I'm
gonna find out who.

(chorus)

Why don't you ask them what they expect from you? Why don't you tell
them what your gonna do?
Do anything you wanna do. Do anything you wanna do.

I don't need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn't be, neither no
optician tell what I oughta see. No one tells you nothing even when ou
know they know, they tell you what you should be, they don't like to see
you grow.

(repeat chorus)

You get so lonely, maybe it's better that way. It's not you only 'cause
you got something to say. Do anything you wanna do.

(repeat chorus)
(Edwin Hollis/Graham Douglas

Some people might say my life is in a rut, I'm quite happy with what I
got. People might say that I should strive for more, I'm so happy I
can't see the point, something's happening here today, a show of
strength with your boys brigade, and I'm so happy and your so kind, you
want more money of course I don't mind, to buy nuclear textbooks for
atomic crimes.

(chorus)
And the public gets what the public wants but I want nothing this
society's got, I'm Going Underground, we'll let the brass bands play
and feet start to pound, I'm Going Underground. We'll let the boys all
sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow.

Some people might get some pleasure out of hate, me, I've had enough
already on my plate. Some people might need some tension to relax, me,
I'm too busy dodging the flak. What you see is what you get, you've
made your bed, you better lie in it. You choose your leaders and place
your trust as their lies wash you down and their promises rust, you'll
see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns.

(repeat chorus)

We talk and we walk until my head explodes, I turn on the news and my
body froze. The braying sheep on the TV screen make this boy shout,
make this boy scream going underground...

(repeat chorus)
(paul Weller

Fear on the street panic in the alley, you mustn't walk alone tonight,
blood on the wall like a river cuts a valley, the victim is an awful
sight.

(chorus)
There's a Killer On The Loose, knows just what he's doing, he's built
around a heart of fire. Killer On The Loose, lurking in the shadows.

Nobody knows exactly how he looks but his picture's stampped on
everyones mind. You never see his face, attacks from the back, you
better watch out behind.

(repeat chorus)
(Denny Newman

I shall be rescued someday
So many empty days
And nobody told me
Need to be rescued today
It's been a thinking day
And I haven't done badly

Haven't done badly how slow some days can go
Think I've been dreaming of some people I don't even know

Someday I'm sure to see the sun
And when my time has come
I'll think of you always
I see your face through the tears
I'm gonna try for you
But nobody told me

Nobody told me how slow some days can go

Think I've been dreaming of some people I don't even know

YOU GOT ME RIGHT THROUGH THE HEART Baby there are pretty young boys
With shiny new toys that make the most noise
The way you look you can easily afford
To slam the door on any given nightstore
In a world where they put you on trial
Flick your hair, flash your smile
Get what you want, don't want what you got
But maybe be a little bit shy

You got me right through the heart
You got me right through the heart
You got me right through the heart
But you get it, right slap bang through the middle of your heart

Some time when you're feeling alone
Won't you call me at home or answer your phone
When you're free you can come and see me
Any time you feel the need
Or want to watch me bleed
In a world where they put you on trial
Flick your hair, flash your smile
Get what you want, don't want what you got
But maybe be a little bit shy

You got me right through the heart
You got me right through the heart
You got me right through the heart
But you get it, right slap bang through the middle of your heart
You got me right through the heart
But you get it, right slap bang through t

Marcellino, Casanova, little angel from Laslow street
Cinderella, she's a crossover, she got no father in history
Got no good life, got no love life
Got no future, got no hopes and dreams
In a cruel world, in a cool world
You're a number, you're a mystery
Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids ?
Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids ?

Little Jimmy, hit and run boy
You can trust him, he'll take the strain
I remember when he said to me
There's a war going through my brain
And everyone still talks about the time
Sweet Mary drank all that wine
And I just cannot believe what I see
They're so strange they're a mystery
Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids ?
Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids ?

And I say fareewell as the lights go out
In the dark stairwell, can't take anymore

Marcellino, Casanova, little angel from Laslow street
Cinderella, she's a crossover, she got no father in history
In a cruel world, in a cool world
You're a number, you're a mystery
Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids ?
Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids ?

If the song of the songbird
Could replace my wrong word
Then my dear, that's the song I would borrow

CHORUS:
& tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
& you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

If the song of the swallow
Could reveal my sorrow
Then my dear, he would sing just for you

(chorus)

Just tonight, while in flight, on your windowsill daylight
To tell you all of my tears

(chorus)

(repeat verse 2)
(chorus twice)

Sing sing sing sing sing, Mr. Songbird
Come on & sing just once, little swallow
& make her mine once again
...& fade

I put a spell on you because you're mine
You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always runnin' 'round
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine

I put a spell on you because you're mine
You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always runnin' 'round
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you

Listen to me, baby
I'm trying to make you see
That I want to be with you, girl
If you want to be with me

CHORUS:
But if you gotta go
Well, it's all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor boy, baby
Trying to connect
But I don't want you thinkin'
Oh that I ain't got any respect

(chorus)

Now I'm not trying to question you
To take part in any quiz
It's just that I don't have a watch
& you keep askin' me what time it is

(chorus)

Now I don't want to make you give anything you never gave before
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon; it'll be too dark for you to find the door

(chorus

"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Not my girl"

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I told them all I had faith in you
I just kept on sayin':

"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
She don't go with other guys
& I don't think she would tell me lies"
My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere & I should use my head
But I didn't listen to a word she said
I kept right on sayin':

"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
She's not like these other girls, you see
& I believe she's in love with me
Oh no no no no no, not my girl"

Well, you might have had a last-minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you accepted my ring
& now I'm glad that I just kept on sayin':

"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Not my girl, not my girl
