Terry Sylvester

(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

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

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
now that we're through

repeat

(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

verse 2

chorus

chorus

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

chorus

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

verse 2

verse 3

chorus

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.
He was the passion of the spring

he was the baby.

And in the passion of the spring
came the baby.
And in the passion of the spring
came the baby.

The baby yeah
the baby yeah.

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Woo!

I saw her head up to the table
With a tall walking big black cat
Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at"
When suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
I jumped down and across the table
When I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well, the DA was pumping my left hand
And then she was a-holding my right
Well, I told her "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared"

Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all

I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well then suddenly we heard a siren
And everybody started to run
Jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cos you're gonna be spared
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer, we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every morning, I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop, and she would show me what she bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun, the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every morning, I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop, and she would show me what she bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer, we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

White chalk written on red brick
Our love told in a heart
It's there, drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate, or adore

La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la
La la, la-la la la la

I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside

One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking
Had she done the same?

La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la
La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la

One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking

I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, but I'm gonna keep on scheming
'Til I can make you, make you my own

So you see

Without you, I'm nothin', oh, oh

Just one look
And I know
I'll get you some day, oh-oh-whoa

I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, but I'm gonna keep on scheming

Look through any window, yeah
What do you see?
Smilin' faces all around
Rushin' through the busy town

(Where do they go?) Movin' on their way
Walkin' down the highways and the byways
(Where do they go?) Movin' on their way
People with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh, you can see the little children all around
Oh, you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you

Look through any window, yeah
Any time of day
See the drivers on the roads
Pullin' down their heavy loads

Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you?

Horses chasin' 'cause they're racin'
So near yet so far
On a carousel
On a carousel

Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in the way

Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still we're going 'round
On a carousel
On a carousel

'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too

As she leaves she drops the presents
That she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water
Got the highest score

Now's my chance and I must take it
A case of do-or-die
On a carousel
On a carousel

'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too

Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you?

Now we take our rides together
No more chasing her
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel

Too many people need me
I've got so much, so much to do
But when my travelling is over
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest

It seems unfair to leave you
And sell myself the way I do
But when my wandering is over
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest

Most of my life I've been moving
And when I tire, I'll come home to you
But until then I'll be waiting
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest

How cold is my room (How cold is my room?)
Without your love beside me?
We look at the same old moon (Looking at the moon)
But you're not here beside me
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest

Too many people need me
I've got so much, so much to do
But when my travelling is over
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep
No light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read

Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask?
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

(Hicks)
She goes away for a couple of days
So you phone a few number you fancy a change
You say you'll miss her but deep down inside
There are thoughts of another girl waiting somewhere for you

She's been away for a couple of days
The affairs weren't so good so you're mending your ways
You realise that there's nobody else who can do what she does for you
You tell yourself don't be a fool
Don't let her go chase as hard as you can
Or you'll be the loser
Swallow your pride you can still be a man
She'll never refuse you

She deserved to be loved, she wants to love you
If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do.

Baby I was lonely, still love you only, but I was a bad boy
Know you couldn't see me, thought you'd never leave me, so I was bad boy
Even though I'm trying, there is no denying I am just a bad boy
Met a little baby, thought she was a lady, still I was a bad boy

She gives me everything a girl's supposed to do
She gives me everything still I can't be true
She gives me everything, she gives me everything

Going off to different places
All I see is different faces
I love them all but not like you

She deserves to be loved, she wants to love you
If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do.

She deserves to be loved - Yes she does, you know she does
She deserves to be loved - Even if she goes away
She deserves to be loved - No one else can take her place
She deserves to be loved - You'll be the loser if you let her go
She deserves to be loved - She gives you everything a girl's supposed to do
She deserves to be loved - You love them all but she's the one for you
She deserves to be loved - Yes she does, you know she does
She deserves to be loved - Even if she goes away
She deserves to be loved - No one else can take her place

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
now that we're through

repeat

(Hicks)
Just like a top the world goes spinning round
Nobody knows what's going on I've found
Even from Jerusalem to old Japan
Nobody seems to have a definite, definite plan

Must be a peaceful way for us to go
Even the simplest of man must know
The situation's getting worse and worse
One day the bubble's gonna burst

But don't be frightened lady
We will never let them take your boy to war
No don't be frightened lady
We will never ever go to war no more

Why don't they finish it all
We are only people and we're terribly small
Why don't they finish it all
Do they think that people don't mean nothing, nothing at all

chorus

Students are marching now in every land
They won't be shifted just like grains of sand
If we don't get together pretty soon
We'll do the same thing on the moon

Oh woman get your head out of curlers,
time to get your butt out of bed!
Get down your hats and your baggage my child,
going back home - getting back to the homestead.

I'm-a gonna heat me some water,
put a shine upon my shoes.
Telephone my mac keep the room above Joe's,
'cause we're coming back, coming back to the homestead.
Ev'rything is packed gettin' back to the homestead.
This time, this time we'll stay - baby.

I know that we could have made it,
we had ideas in our heads.
And I wish somehow we could have saved it,
but we're Gasoline Alley bred.
Yet the years havn't really been wasted,
and I know it in my head.
We did good for the life that we tasted,
'cause we're Gasoline Alley -
Gasoline Alley bred!

Woman did you really believe it,
I did ev'rything a man could do.
Breakin' my back just to make us a dime.
That don't mean a thing when noone wants to know you.
Oh, woman I know how you're feeling,
I've seen the hurt upon your face.
How many times do you think that I've cried,
knowin' ev'ry day your heart was gettin' broken,
holdin' back your pride 'till you were nearly chocking;
oooh - let's get away - baby.

I know that we could have made it,
we had ideas in our heads.
And I wish somehow we could have saved it
but we're Gasoline Alley bred.
Yet the years havn't really been wasted
and I know it in my head.
we did good for the life that we tasted,
'cause we're Gasoline Alley -
Gasoline Alley bred!
(Gasoline alley...)

Gasoline Alley bred!
(Gasoline alley...)

Gasoline Alley bred!
(Gasoline alley...)

Gasoline Alley bred!

(Clarke / Sylvester)
Do you find it hard to tell me
To tell that you really love me
'Cos I find it hard to tell you
To tell you that I really love you

And I know what's in your heart
In your mind, in your body, and your soul
But it's easy when we whisper
Not letting people know.

We wanna shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We wanna shout it out loud
But our love is not for show

chorus

I've got something you've got nothing
a child, a home of my own
It's so hard for me to break it
I can't break it, I can't make it on my own

chorus x2

(Clarke / Sylvester)
Isn't it nice to be someone
Someone you've dreamed that you are
Isn't it such a nice feeling
The feeling you've wished upon a star

You have slipped down a rainbow
Discovered your own pot of gold
You are living your wildest dream
Use them you'll never grow old

Just like Cinderella
But your clock will never strike twelve
You have something to envy
That everyone wants for themselves

You have slipped down a rainbow
Discovered your own pot of gold
Chasing moonbeams and catching the wind
and living stories you've been told

verse 2

Isn't it nice to be somewhere
In places you've dreamed that you've seen
Isn't it such a nice feeling
being where you've never been

verse 1

(Hicks)
Well there's them that do and them that don't
Them that will and them that won't
I've been trying to get you for a long time
For a long time

When our eyes meet at each different place
How I got to know your face
Think that I have loved you for a long time
For a long time

Lady please I'm not a man of many words you see
If you lie with me, you won't sleep
Lady please if in the future there's some other man
I will understand and I won't weep

As our bodies fill my lonely room
A room that once was filled with gloom
Know that I will love you for a long time
For a long time
For a long time

chorus

As the morning sun lights up our bed
You are there to stroke my head
Know I'm going to love you for a long time
For a long time

Lady please
Lady please
Lady please

(Hicks)
She looks from side to side
The tear drops fill her eyes
As once again she hears the sound of shouting
turns to the window pane
Funny there's rain again
Inside her head she hears the sound of shouting

They are fighting again
All she feels is cold and pain
She don't know whose side to take
Mother's or Father's
She can't know that soon they'll part
That they broke each other's heart
They are breaking up, but she don't understand it

She leaves the room in fright
Each time they start to fight
She runs up to her bed
But there's no sleeping
Clings to her teddy bear
But even teddy bear can't stop her weeping

Little girl dry your eyes
Your Ma and Pa one day will put you wise
Little girl don't you cry
You'll understand what happened by and by

verse 2

Mad Professor Blyth is working on his pet invention
to dematerialise himself into the fourth dimension
He's got his mind set on illusion
to find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he disappeared

Tried it on his cat one grey night when it was foggy
Never got it back Oh what happened to his Moggy
He's got his mind set on illusion
to find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared

All the kids around about his neighbourhood
used to laugh at him and call him names
Silly old bat freaky four-eyes


sort of things they used to shout
He can't hear them now

He's disappeared

Colleagues at the lab
they all thought that he was crazy
Don't know where he's at
His formulas to them are hazy

He had his mind set on illusion
He found the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared

(Clarke / Sylvester)
Man in a room, can't you see what you did
Pick yourself off the floor, it don't suit you, don't be blind

One lonely with four walls closing in
It's a room without any door
You've been on your own since she told you to go
I'm telling you why and what for

You're a man without a heart
Just a lonely man without a heart

Man can't you see what you did to yourself
Thinking it was so big at the time
I could have told you but I wasn't there
You shout her the wrong kind of line

chorus

Pick yourself off the floor
It don't suit you to be in that frame of mind
Try to be more like a man with respect
Get on the right track, don't be blind

chorus

verse 2

chorus

verse 1

(Clarke / Sylvester)
Perfect lady housewife
Her totally detached
sepulchre is painted white
its gentique suite unscratched
A veritable show case
It shines like a new pin
Everything is in its place
And there's a place for everything

A, B, C, D. That's the way it's gotta be
1, 2, 3, 4. Count them up and know the score

Foot upon the parquet
Makes her awfully vexed
Onset of vile anarchy
Oh Lord, whatever next
Messiness is no excuse
It's showing no respect
Random factor introduced
Just goes and spoils the whole effect

chorus

Efficient official
His patience overtaxed
Don't these people know that rules
Can never be relaxed
He could be humanised
You would never imagine
Everyone is categorised
And there's a place for everything

chorus

(Clarke)
Why, why ignore me
And keep me out all of the time
Do you think I don't love you
It's only in your mind

You don't give me your reason
You don't explain all your ways
It must be the change of the season
That's all I can say

Was it something that I said
That made you stop loving me
I only want for the best
Not to see you in my life
Makes me so unimportant
I can't live with myself

Gone, gone is tomorrow
I'm only living for today
I never thought you'd ever leave me
Now you have gone away.

(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Give her a hand 'cos she gave a good show
Her makeup was right for the occasion
She did what she had to do, she said what she had to say
She played her part to perfection

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
acclaim's not the same
such a shame

The star of the show she was true to herself
and everything went as reported
Rumours about herself came along
That's when it all got distorted

chorus

What a good show she gave
Happy to go on the stage
Was she to know it would change
Can she go on feeling strange

chorus

(Hiller / Ford)
I got a girl she's crazy about me
She'll go down in history
Twenty four hours of every day she'll cry

So baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Dance a little, shake a little, you can even twist and shout
But baby don't cry, baby don't cry

Everytime we say good night
As I go to hold her tight
Never get to kiss her 'cauze she cries

Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Dance a little, shake a little, you can even twist and shout
But baby don't cry, baby don't cry

Break

Does she love me, Yes or no
Will she ever tell me so
She just doesn't got the time She cries

Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Oh baby don't {Baby don't cry}
Dance a little, shake a little, you can even twist and shout
But baby don't cry, baby don't cry

Dance a little, shake a little, you can even twist and shout
But baby don't cry, baby don't cry
One, two, three, four

How can I tell if she loves me so

Is it in her eyes (No no you'll be deceived)
Is it in her sighs (No no she'll make believe)

In her warm embrace (No no that's just her arms)

No one will ever know how much I love you so

My hopes, my dreams come true, my life I give for you

My hopes, my prayers, my schemes
You are my everything, but it's only make believe

Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find a party tried to get in touch with me
She did not leave her number but I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote on the wall

Help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the times we had
But we were torn apart because her ma did not agree
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Break

Help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the times we had

With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, oh information please
Try and put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

You know it starts to tear me apart whoa

(Alexander Jr)
You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love
That's up to her, yes and the Lord above
You better move on

Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond rings
I believe she'd be happy with me without those things
Still you beg me to set her free
But my friend that will never be
You better move on

I can't blame you for loving her
But can't you understand man, she's my girl
And I, I, I, I'm never gonna let her go
'Cause I, I, I, I love her so

Well let me tell you how

I think you better go now, I'm getting mighty mad
You ask me to give up the only love that I've ever had
Maybe I would, oh but I love her so
I'm never gonna let her go

You better move on

You better move on

You better move on

It's been too long since I kissed you
Much too long since I held you tight
Tonight yes tonight
You'll be mine

I've been told about your kisses
And I've thought about you every night
Tonight yes tonight
You'll be mine

I've made up my mind
Not to be left on the shelf
Now I'm sure to find you
And keep you to myself
I just think about you every day
When you're near and when you're far away
Tonight yes tonight
You'll be mine

Hey, Carrie Anne
Hey, Carrie Anne

When we were at school, our games were simple
I played the janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing?

Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?

You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?

Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?

You're so, so like a woman to me (So like a woman to me)
So, so like a woman to me (So, so like a woman to me)

Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?

People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over, you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying

Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?

Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne

You say that you want me and now that you've got me you're gone
Think what you're doin' or else you'll regret what you've done
Don't come back tomorrow and say what we did wasn't right
You'll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night

Have you ever loved somebody
Don't you know just what it's like
Hurting someone that you're close to
Have you ever loved all night all night

Remember what happened the last time that you said goodbye
Remember the saying that once bit and I'll be twice shy
It's no use me crying there is no denying it's right
When thinking has ruined the feeling that we had to fight

Have you ever loved somebody
Don't you know just what it's like
Hurting someone that you're close to
Have you ever loved all night all night

If you hear people talking now
Will you laugh or cry
If you cry I'll sympathize with you
If you laugh I'll die
If you laugh I'll die

You say that you want me and now that you've got me you're gone
Think what you're doin' or else you'll regret what you've done
Don't come back tomorrow and say what we did wasn't right
You'll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night

Have you ever loved somebody
Don't you know just what it's like
Hurting someone that you're close to
Have you ever loved all night all night

Have you ever loved somebody
Don't you know just what it's like
Hurting someone that you're close to
Have you ever loved all night all night

(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)
You say that you want me
I've no cause to doubt you
My friends tell me different that's all
They say that I'm blind
but I know all about you
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall

I seem to be hypnotized by all your beauty
a subject to your beck and call
Your arms magnetize me
when I'm here beside you
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall

Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time

Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time

What is it about you that tempts me and taunts me
I can't understand it all
If I try to leave you I know that you'll haunt me
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall

White chalk written on red brick
Our love told in a heart
It's there, drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate, or adore

I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la
La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la

I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside

One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking
Had she done the same?

La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la
La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la

One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking
Had she done the same?

I hope Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love, kiss, hate, or adore

Singing
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la
La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la

Singing
La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la
La la, la-la la la la
La la, la-la la-la

(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)
Would you like to slide down a rainbow
Catch a falling star in your hands
Chase a moonbeam right by your window
Close your eyes and you'll be there

In a land of dragons and castles
be a knight in armor that shines
on a horse with trappings of silver
Close your eyes and you'll be there

You will be there
Hoping that no one
will come and wake you up
You will be there
While the mooning is peeping
as you lie a-sleeping
in your dream world

chorus

See the witches fly on their broomsticks
stirring cauldrons casting their spells
Kisses changing frogs into princes
Close your eyes and you'll be
close your eyes and you'll be
close your eyes and you'll be there

Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling
Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling smiling

Wake in the morning
Look out of my window
down on the street as the people pass by
Wonderful faces awake but asleep
rushing around with appointments to keep
rushing around with appointments to keep

Bald-headed banker with bowler on head
Credit for debit but still in the red
Schoolgirl in pigtails and freckly nose
trying to remember her Latin prose
trying to remember her Latin prose

chorus


Open up your eyes open up your eyes
Open up your eyes open up your eyes
Isn't it surprising what you'll find

Open up your eyes open up your eyes

What are they thinking
What's on their minds
Are they all looking for something to find
Decreasing circles running around
searching for something they've already found
searching for something they've already found

chorus

Open up your eyes looking at the people

When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window
reminds of her
When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window

It was raining hard
the trees looked bare the night I met her
She was wet her hands were cold
the wind blew through her hair

Though I'd known her quite a long time
we were just good friends
So it didn't seem so strange
inviting her back home

We sat by the fire
The flames brought out something in her
Melting all the cold
projecting warmth I never knew

As the rain beat on my window
did she understand
that in the glow of dying embers
everything was planned

When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window
reminds of her
When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window

Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter

We made love later on that night
while the rain beat on my window
I can't forget the things that happened
while the rain beat down on my window

Next time I saw her
I knew she didn't want to know me
If I disappointed her
I think she should have told me

Can't she understand
I only tried to be a man
She made me feel so ashamed
of everything I am

When I hear pitter-patter
the rain on the window
reminds of her

When I hear pitter-patter
the rain on the window
reminds of her

When I hear pitter-patter
the rain on the window
reminds of her

Leaves come falling on a winter's day
Robins weep and watch them sail away
Floating on the water is autumns last farewell
These are signs that will never change
Signs that will never change

Rivers once were frozen now they're free
Showing winter's going rapidly
Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell
These are signs that will never change
Signs that will never change

The changing faces of the seasons
Are those that cannot be compared
Except in love it sometimes happens
Love grows but all too soon it dies

Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell
These are signs that will never change
Signs that will never change
Signs that will never change

(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)

And the power you have over
won't ever let me be
It's always holding me to you
And the strange things you say to me
Why do you play with me
It's just too sad to see

Stop right there
Tell me what you're doing to my mind in there
Tell me what you're doing Am I blind
Long ago everything about you was for me to hold
Now my thoughts about you won't stay cold

And in time I might slip away
into the light of day
But with you I must stay it's true
Wishful thinking will just bring me down
It's plain to see you own
the ground I'm standing on

chorus

verse 2

(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)
My sadness it is growing
I'm sure it's started showing
This feeling's getting stronger
I can't hold back out much longer
It's swelling deep inside
emotions I can't hide

Then the heartaches begin
I'm telling you
The heartaches begin

I need someone to guide me
someone to reconcile me
to take away this pain
before it starts again
But no one listens to me
Can't control what's set in deeply

chorus

Four stone walls surround me
An empty shell's all you see
My former self's departed
A man who's broken hearted
Loneliness is what I fear
holding on to all that's dear

chorus

I'm telling you child

(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)
I've just come in from out of the rain
It's wet outside the water runs down a drain
I go to bed 'cause my head's full of pain

And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

Outside the window there's a pipe wearing thin
It lets the water do a dance on a tin
I try to sleep but it's making a din

And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

Water on the brain water on the brain
Water on the brain water on the brain

Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

I toss and turn and my patience is weak
Go to the bathroom door and I take a peak yeah
The bath tap has started a leak

And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

(Hicks / Clarke / Nash)
I press my nose against the pane
of the little toffee shop
Day after day I save my pennies
to spend at the toffee shop

Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock
I stand on the cold stone street
A penny every day that I have saved
to buy myself some sweets

The nice little lady old and grey
with glasses and shawl
Gives love away to good little boys
who do as they are told

She's always telling stories
of her childhood days
She couldn't buy the things that I can
for families in those days

Imagine the sweets that I can buy
with six pennies of my own
I always take my time to choose
the sweets that I'll be taking home

Gobstoppers in my pockets
brown sugar in my hand
lollies you suck that last all day
and sugar that looks like sand
