Ill tell you what love is
And this is no lie
Love is a five letter word
Spelled M-O-N-E-Y
And love without money
Is like the shirt without the tie
Love is a five letter word
Spelled M-O-N-E-Y
You cant live on kisses
Nor a warm embrace
If theres something that youre missing
Got to have cash to take its place
Sweet talk comes easy
Sometimes itll get you by
Love is a five letter word
Spelled M-O-N-E-Y
Let the poets write of love
It sounds good I cant deny it
Let them write about the stars above
And the moon up in the sky
Cause its one thing I know
Without it you dont have a thing
But if youve got money honey, money honey
You can live just like youre a king
You cant live on kisses
Nor a warm embrace
If theres something that youre missing
Then youve got to have cash to take its place
Sweet talk comes easy
Sometimes its gonna get you by
Love is a five letter word
Spelled M-O-N-E-Y
You got to have brace
Thats what I said
You got to have toll
Got to have toll, baby dont you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....
Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y
Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y
Just one more time to go
Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y |
We are traveling in the footsteps
Of those whove gone before
But well all be reunited
On a new and sunlit shore
Oh when the Saints go marching in
When the Saints go marching in
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
And when the sun refuse to shine
And when the sun refuse to shine
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
When the moon turns red with blood
When the moon turns red with blood
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
On that hallelujah day
On that hallelujah day
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
Oh when the trumpet sounds the call
Oh when the trumpet sounds the call
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
Some say this world of trouble
Is the only one we need
But Im waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealed
When the revelation comes
When the revelation comes
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
When the rich go out and work
When the rich go out and work
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
When the air is pure and clean
When the air is pure and clean
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
When we all have food to eat
When we all have food to eat
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
When our leaders learn to cry
When our leaders learn to cry
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in |
What will it take for them to leave me alone
Dont they know Im just a guy who sings songs
Im not promoting no hit record
And I dont have no TV show
And I dont have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl
Im just doing my gigs
And Im on and off the road
Everything I say is not meant to be set in stone
Just because they call me a celebrity
That does not make it true
Cos I dont believe in the myth people
So why should you?
Jazz Blues & Funk
Thats not Rock & Roll
Folk with a beat
And a little bit of Soul
I dont have no hit record
I dont have no TV show
Tell me why should I have to live in this goldfish bowl?
Well theres parasites and psychic vampires
Feeding on the public at large
Projecting their shadow onto everyone else
Well the newspaper barons
Are the scum of the lowest degree
And they prey on everybody
They prey on you and me
Im singing Jazz Blues & Funk
Baby thats not Rock & Roll
Folk with a beat
And a little bit of Soul
I dont have no hit record
I dont have no TV show
So why should I want to live in this goldfish bowl? |
Call it stormy Monday
Lord, but Tuesdays just as bad
You know they call it stormy Monday
Lord, but Tuesdays just as bad

The eagle flies on Friday
Lord, and Saturday we go out and play
The eagle flies on Friday
Well, Lord, and Saturday we go out an play

And I kneel down and pray
And this is what I say:
Look, Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me

I cry Lord have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me, on me, um
You know Im tryin, tryin to find my baby
Wont somebody please send her on home to me?
Oh Lord |
In the afternoon, baby in my room
When the lights are dim way beyond the hill
In the afternoon, baby in my room
When Im really down get me off the ground
Melancholia, melancholia, melancholia
In the morning time when I go outside
In the morning time its like that all the while
In the afternoon when Im in my room
Every single day, it wont go away
Melancholia, melancholia, melancholia
And its in my heart, when were apart
And it stops and starts, and its in my heart
Every single day its always in my way
When Im making hay, all Ive got to say
Melancholia, melancholia, melancholia
Well its in my blood and its in my veins
Here it comes again, when Im in the rain
In the wind and rain, well the sun dont shine
Well its always mine, all of the time
Melancholia, melancholia, melancholia
And its in my life and its all the time
It doesnt go away when the church bells chime
In the evening time when I drink my wine
In the evening time when its on my mind
Melancholia, melancholia, melancholia
Its only melancholia
Oh melancholia, oh melancholia, oh melancholia, oh melancholia
Melancholia, melancholia
They call it, call it melancholia, call it melancholia, call it melancholia, call it melancholia
Call it melancholia, melancholia, melancholia, melancholia |

You know I love to spend my morning time
Watchin sunlight dancing on your skin
Ive never gone so wrong for telling lies to you
What you see is what Ive been
There is nothing that I can hide from you
You see me better than I ever can
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
Darlin I only hope, only hope that you will hold me now
Until I gain control again
Just like the lighthouse I must stand alone
Landmarks to mark the sailors journeys end
No matter what sea Ive been sailing on
You know, you know Ill always roll this way, this way again
Out on the road that lies before me now
Surely there will be some turns where I will spin, spin
I only hope, I only hope that you, you will hold me now, hold me now
Till I gain, till I gain control, control again
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns, some turns where I will spin, spin
I only hope, only hope that you will hold me now, hold me now
Until I gain control again |
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around all the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
Hes as sweet as tupelo honey
Hes an angel of the first degree
Hes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey from the bee
You cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant stop us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
Hes as sweet as tupelo honey
Hes an angel of the first degree
Hes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant stop us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
Hes as sweet as tupelo
Hes an angel of the first degree
Hes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
Hes an angel who came down from heaven, yes
Hes an angel of the first degree
Hes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
Just like honey from the bee
Just like honey from the bee |
Ive seen so many lovers cry
Lost love, makes me wonder why
Ive found a love, a once in a lifetime love
Angel on high, from heaven so high above
So I thank God for sending me you
I have heard of playing around with numbers
But one is all I need
She cant be beat
She makes me complete
On Quality Street
I have heard of playing around with numbers
But one is all I need
She cant be beat
She makes me complete
On Quality Street
I have lived alone until you came along
And you gave me love
And my dream came true
And God gave me you
I see the end of the rainbow now
True love has blessed me somehow
Blessing of love, a once in a lifetime love
Angel on high, from heaven so high above
So I thank God for sending me you
I have heard of playing around with numbers
But one is all I need
She cant be beat
She makes me complete
On Quality Street

Gonna be a transformation
In your heart and soul
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Now that you know
Get used to righteousness when it makes you feel whole
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Down in your soul
Member when we were downhearted
Didnt have nowhere to go
And the wisdom of insecurity
Just knowin that we know
Then something starts happenin
Feel like youre on a roll
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Down in your soul
But like a river keeps on wantin to flow
Keeps on advancing with the wisdom you know
Time has a rhythm when the love is the love
Love is forever, baby
Down in your soul
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Down in your soul
Gonna be a transformation
Now that you know
Get used to righteousness cause it makes you feel whole
Gonna be a transformation
Down in your soul
Gonna be a transformation
Down in your soul
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Now that you know
Get used to righteousness cause it makes you feel whole
Gonna be a transformation
Right down in your soul |
{Chorus}
You gotta fight every day
To keep mediocrity at bay
Gotta fight every day
To keep mediocrity at bay
Got to fight with all your might
Not to get in the bleeding hearts way
You gotta fight for your rights
You cant bury your head in the sand
You gotta fight for your rights
You cant just bury your
Head in the sand
Politics and religion, superstition
Go hand in hand
Well youre going through the motions
And they cant hear a word you say
Well youre going through the motions
They dont want to hear a word you say
Got to keep boredom at bay
And keep mediocrity away
{Chorus}
Gotta fight every day
To keep mediocrity at bay
Gotta fight every day
To keep mediocrity at bay
Got to fight with all your might
Not to get in the bleeding hearts way |
Ordinary people just dont comprehend
Ordinary people just dont seem to comprehend
The thing you feel they dont even know about
Cut yourself, that never did you no good
You cut yourself, that never did you no good
Nobody watching you, you gotta take care of yourself
Real thing....
When I came down your avenue
Blew you every
Blew you every which way
When I came down your avenue
Bloo hoo hoo you ever which way
Nobody watching you, you gotta take care of yourself
Ordinary people they just dont seem to comprehend
No they dont
Ordinary, everyday people just dont, just dont seem to comprehend
No they, No they dont
Then you feel they dont, they dont, they dont even
Even, even know, even know about.. |
Goodbye George

You sit in silence
And the river answers
And I have loved you many, many years
I saw you standing by the wonderous river
And I have come today
To calm your fears
Those lifetimes
So many lifetimes
With you
The boatman singin far across the water
What is this feelin in my heart and soul
The nighttime angel spreads her wings around me
And I feel the sadness
And the river flows
Those lifetimes
So many lifetimes
With you
Listen to the music inside
That is all that you have to do
Listen to the music inside
Cant you hear what it says to you
And I shall get to know you
In these lifetimes
In awe and wonder
On down through the years
The nighttime angel spreads her wings around me
I feel the silence
And my doubts are cleared
Those lifetimes
So many lifetimes
With you
Listen to the music inside
That is all that you have to do
Listen to the music inside
Cant you hear what it says to you
Listen to the music inside
That is all that you have to do
Listen to the music inside
Cant you hear what it says to you |
Als ik hoor hoe de viool weerklinkt
En het koper volgt gedwee
Elke keer als ons lied begint
Neem je steeds mijn hart weer mee
De reis is langer dan ik dacht mijn schat
En de wind niet altijd mee
Maar als ik dan even aan je denk
Neem je steeds mijn hart weer mee
Maar op een ochtend in mei
Krijg je de hemel als je wilt
Ik weet een bankje in ’t wandelbos
En de wereld staat daar stil
Als de regenbui is weggewaaid
En de zon komt met ons mee
Weet ik weer dat ik bij je ben
En neem je steeds mijn hart weer mee
Maar op een ochtend in mei
Krijg je de hemel als je wilt
Ik weet een bankje in ’t wandelbos
En de wereld staat daar stil
Als de regenbui is weggewaaid
En de zon komt met ons mee
Weet ik weer dat ik bij je ben
En neem je steeds mijn hart weer mee
Weet ik weer dat ik bij je ben
En neem je steeds mijn hart weer mee
Weet ik weer dat ik bij je ben
En neem je steeds mijn hart weer mee |

In the cul de sac, so smooth
I look down
Be less sure, sir
And take your rest
Its been much too long
Since we drifted in song
Lay it down wet
In this hide-away
Oh I travelled far
To the nearest star
And met Palomar, ...mar..., mar...
And we dont care just who you know
Its who you are
And when they all go home
Down the cobblestones
You can double back
To a cul de sac
Mmm
Oh, I travelled far
The nearest star
And Mount Palomar, Palomar, Palomar, Palomar
And we dont care just who dyou know who dyou know
And who you really are, really are
And when they all
All go home
Down the cobblestones
You will double back
To a cul de sac
You know, you know you will
You will, oh, will double back
And not very far
To a cul de sac
You, you, you... will double back
To a cul de sac
You know, you know its not very far away
No, no
Its just a cul de sac
And you know, and you know, and you know... its not very very far away
No

Donn, donn, donn...
Youre not very far away, No ohhh
Its not, its not very far away
Its not as far as a country mile
Its just a cul de sac |

Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
A playin a new game
A laughin and a runnin, hey, hey
Skippin and a jumpin
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin, oh, and you
My brown-eyed girl
You my brown-eyed girl
What ever happened
To Tuesdays are so slow?
Goin down the old mine
A transistor radio
Standin in the sunlight laughin
Hide behind the rainbows wall
Slippin and a slidin
All along the waterfall with you
My brown-eyed girl
You my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-ti-da
Just like that
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-ti-da
La-ti-da
So hard to find my way
Now that Im on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Im overcome thinkin bout
Makin love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-ti-da
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-ti-da

Well Im standing on the corner
With my bucket in my hand
Just waiting for a woman
That aint got no man
My buckets got a hole in it
My buckets got a hole in it
My buckets got a hole in it
Cant buy no beer
Well I went up on the mountain
Looked down in the sea
Seen the crabs and the fishes
Doing the be bop beat
My buckets got a hole in it
My buckets got a hole in it
My buckets got a hole in it
Cant buy no beer
Well there aint no use
Me working so hard
When I got a woman
In the boss mans yard
My buckets got a hole in it
My buckets got a hole in it
My buckets got a hole in it |
Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain keep pourin down
Me and Billy standin there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishin rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it dont rain all day
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin home
And it stoned me
Then the rain let up and the sun came up
And we were gettin dry
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me
On the way back home we sang a song
But our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road
With the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you
And he said Hey! There you are
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream |
Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
You know, Im trying to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low
You know, the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
You know, the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with a-you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love?
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I cant wait til the morning has come
You know, I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come, my heart will be waiting
To make sure that youre never alone
There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then, I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
Then I know how much you want me that you cant hide
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love?
Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
You know, Im trying to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low
You know, the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
You know, the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with a-you, a-my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, a-my love?
One more moondance with you
In the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la, la, in the moonlight
On a magic night
Cant I just have one more, moondance with you, my love? |

Im giving you my heart and my soul
Im giving you more than youll ever know
Im giving you just about everything I can
Cant you see that Im just only one man
I took you out to the picture show
Then I took you walkin outdoors
I walked you up and down the block
And I warned you baby this has got to stop
This has got to stop, youre way over the top
Pack my things and walk, we cant even talk
This has got to stop, I just had enough
Im gonna call your bluff, walk you one more lap
And I watched you watching me as I watched you walk away from me
And I went off to that far country
I took a plane out to that Newfoundland
And you said to me that you didnt understand
This has got to stop, youre way over the top
Im gonna pack my things and walk, we dont even talk
This has got to stop, baby I just had enough
Im gonna call your bluff, walk me one more lap
Well I came back home and I burnt our house down
I watched it crumble to the ground
Oh it caved in like a piece of balsa wood
I turned to you and said baby, this is just no good
And I worked and I tried to build it all back up again
Today you told me that you had really changed
Then you knocked down all my castles in the sand
Then I said baby, I know now just where we stand
This has got to stop, youre way over the top
Pack my bags and walk, we dont even talk
This has got to stop, Ive just had enough
Im gonna call your bluff, this has got to stop
This has got to stop
Stop, stop Ive had enough
Im gonna call your bluff
Stop, stop, stop |
As you brush your shoes, stand before the mirror
And you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat
And you walk wet streets, tryin to remember
All the wild night breezes in your memry ever
And everything looks so complete
When youre walkin out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
Sends you flyin, cryin
Ooo-woo-wee, wild night is calling
Ooo-ooh-wee, wild night is calling
And all the girls walk by, dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie on the corner of the street
And the people passin by stare in wild wonder
And the inside jukebox roars out just like thunder
And everything looks so complete
When youre walkin out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
Sends you flyin, cryin
Ooo-woo-wee, wild night is calling
Ooo-ooh-wee, wild night is calling
The wild night is calling
The wild night is calling
Come on out and dance
Whoa, come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance
Come on out, make romance |
The sun is shining, its everywhere
Dont have no worry, dont have no care
It must be true, this is the season
Baby it must be you
It was raining the other day
But that lonely feeling has gone away
It must be true, its so pleasing
It must be you
Thats what they say in those old storybooks of old
You light my way and you satisfy my soul
It must be magic, it must be love
Oh what could I have been thinking of
Its the reason Im feeling so blue
It must be you
Well thats what they say in those storybooks of old
You light my way and you satisfy my soul
It must be magic, it must be bliss
Oh it must be rain on a night like this
It must be true, thats the reason I think
It must be you
It must be you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
It must be you
I really do believe
It must be you
Baby, baby
I really do believe, really do believe
Really do believe |
When all the dark clouds roll away
And the sun begins to shine
I see my freedom from across the way
And it comes right in on time
Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light
And it comes from the sky above
Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me
And lights my life with love

It was only a dream that I had in the night
Only a dream, but it felt so right
We were standing in the moonlight
Holding you tight but it was only just a dream
Only a dream, knocked me off my feet
Only a dream, we was dancing in the street
And the big band kept on playing, Bonapartes retreat
But it was only a dream
Only a dream
But somebody tried to shoot it down
Only a dream
But that dream is still around
It was only a dream, we were rolling in the snow
Only a dream
Just couldnt seem to let go
Sat outside your window
Felt like Romeo
But it was only a dream
Only a dream
But somebody, oh somebody tried to shoot it down
Only a dream
But that dream is still around
Up on Mockingbird hill and Im feeling no pain
Birds are singing, oh, their all so sweet refrain
If I had to do it all over, do the same thing again
It was only a dream
Oh that dream
Knocked me off my feet
Band in New Orleans
We were dancing in the street
The band kept on swingin
Bonapartes retreat
Only a dream
Bonapartes retreat
Bonapartes retreat
Bonapartes retreat |

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows, I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows, I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will fold
Into the mystic
When that fog horn blows, you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows, I gotta hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will fold
Into the mystic
Come on, girl
Too late to stop now |
Oh wont you stay
Stay awhile with your own ones
Dont ever stray
Stray so far from your own ones
For the world is so cold
Dont care nothing for your soul
You share with your own ones
Dont rush away
Rush away from your own ones
One more day
One more day with your own ones
Yes the world is so cold
Dont care nothing for your soul
You share with your own ones
Theres a stranger and hes standing at your door
Might be your best friend, might be your brother
You may never know
Im going back
Going back to my own ones
Back to talk
Talk awhile with my own ones
This old world is so cold
Dont care nothing for your soul
You share with your own ones
This old world is so cold
Dont care nothing for your soul
You share with your own ones |

You wired the trains and went back home to St. Clair Shores
Before you became a spark down at the yard
You were passing through those hungry years alone
You were just trying to make a living out in Detroit
When you came back off the boats, you didnt want to go anywhere
You sit down to TV in your favorite chair
You watch the big picture fade away down at Harland and Wolff
But you still kept on choppin wood
And you came back home to Belfast
So you could be with us like
You lived your life of quiet desperation on the side
Going to the shipyard in the morning on your bike
Well, the spark was gone but you carried on
You always did the best you could
You sent for us once but everything fell through
But you still kept on choppin wood, choppin wood
Well, you came back home to Belfast
So you could be with us like
And you lived a life of quiet desperation on the side
Going to the shipyard in the morning on your bike
Well, the spark was gone but you carried on
Well, you did just the best that you could
You sent for us one time but everything fell through
But you still kept on choppin wood
Kept on choppin wood
Kept on choppin wood
Local man chops wood
You know you did the best you could
Well, everything just fell through
Kept on choppin wood
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop
Chop, chop, chop, keep on choppin
Chop, chop, chop, choppin wood |
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea |
Green mansions, high upon a hill
Green mansions, quiet and still
Big wall all around
Its where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to come
Green mansions, high upon a hill
In the countryside where the birds begin to sing
Free from the glamour of the world
Where the story does unfurl
Waiting on that day to come
Tried in vain to forget
Just how it ought to be
Over and over and over and over again
Bout what it means to me
Green mansions, I can hear the mockingbird
Choir singing in a melancholy wood
The big wall all around
Where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to come
Well Ive tried in vain to forget
Yeah, what it ought to be
Over and over, over again
Just what it means to me
Green mansions, high upon a hill
Green mansions, quiet and still
Big wall all around
Where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to come
Green mansions, high upon a hill
Green mansions, so quiet and still
Big wall all around
Where my baby will be found
Waiting for that day to come |
I cant give you more than what Ive got

And, until the leaves of summer turn to shades of brown

But baby, you know that I
Can only give you evrathing
I cant argue with you to a-understand
Cause afterall, I am just a man
A you-ooo-ooo are on my mind
When stars appear and shadows fall
And when evra little flower close
And no birds call

But baby, you know that I
Can only give you evrathing
Ill do anything you want me to do
Cause I dont want to know theres life without you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Dont ever go and leave me in this world alone

No use feeling sad
No use staying mad
Better when youre glad
You can be there in a heartbeat
When it’s close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
Be glad with what you have
Even if its half
Empty in the glass
If theres room to move your elbows
Then it’s close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
When youre not in a hurry
When things may turn around
Never give in to worry
Try looking up not down, dont frown
Close enough for jazz
Is it persil is it daz?
Well it doesnt really matter
When its better on the inside
And its close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz, oh yeah |
Have to get back, have to get back the base
I need to talk to somebody, I can trust
Too many cooks, are tryin to spoil the broth
I cant feel it in my throat, thats all she wrote
Im not feeling it no more, Im not feeling it anymore
Not feelin it no more, not feelin it anymore
When I was high at the party, everything looked good
I was seein through rose coloured glasses
Not seein the wood for the trees
I started out in normal operation
But I just ended up in doubt
All my drinking buddies, they locked me out
Im not feelin it no more, Im not feelin it anymore
No feelin it no more, Im tryin to give you the score
You see me up there baby, Im on the screen
But I know better now, its so unreal
If this is success, then somethings awful wrong
Cause I bought the dream and I had to play along
Im not feelin it no more, Im not feelin it anymore
Im tryin to give you the score, Im not feelin it no more
We all know that money, dont buy you love
You just get a job and somewhere to live
You have to look for happiness, within yourself
And dont go chasin thinkin that it is somewhere else
Im not feelin it no more, Im not feelin it anymore
Baby Im tryin to give you the score
Im not feelin it no more
I was pretending all the time
I was givin everybody what they wanted
And I lost my peace of mind
And all I ever wanted was simply just to be me
All you ever need is the truth
And the truth will set you free
Im not feelin it no more, Im not feelin it anymore
Im tryin to give |
Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Neath the cover of October skies
All the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
Yeah, an Im trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic
Seem to whisper and hush
All the soft moonlight
Seems to shine in your blush

With you, a-my love?
Can I just make some more romance
With you, a-my love?
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I cant wait till the morning has come

And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that youre never alone

There and then I will make you my own
Everytime I touch you
You just tremble inside
Then I know how much I want you, baby
That, cant hide

With you my love?
Can I just make some more romance

Old empty bed, springs hard as lead
Something I said made you see red
What did I do
To feel so lonely and blue
Even the mouse
Up and ran from the house
Laughed at me so scornfully
What did I do
To feel this lonely and blue
I cried and I sighed
But that dont help my game no no no no
I tried to hide
But things dont seem the same, oh
How will it end, I aint got no friend
My only sin is your grin
Oh what did I do
To feel this lonely and blue
I cried and I sighed
But that dont help my game
I tried to hide
Things dont seem the same, oh
How will it end, aint got no friend
My only sin was in your grin
Oh what did I do
To feel so lonely and blue, oh yeah |

Hey, where did we go?
The days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-runnin, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumpin
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a-thumpin and you
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight, laughing
Hiding behind a rainbows wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall with you
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes, Im overcome thinking about
Laughing and running hehe
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?

And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her, thats where I belong
I guess Im running to her like a rivers song
She gives me love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, crazy love
Shes got a fine sense of humour, when Im feeling down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
She takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache in the night like a thief
She gives me love, love, love crazy love
She gives me love, crazy love
I guess I need her in the daytime
I guess I need her in the night
Just want to throw my arms around her
And kiss her, kiss her tight
She gives me love, crazy love
She gives me love, crazy, crazy love
A crazy love |
Dont get around much anymore
The smoke has driven me out the door
All night I used to walk the floor
Dont go to nightclubs anymore
Dont see my old friend Mose
I dont run into Mr. Clive
I cut out all that off the wall jive
Dont go to nightclubs no more
Im not a legend in my own mind
Dont need juice to unwind
And dont have no need to pretend
Aint got no huckleberry friend
Alcohol was too big a price
Listen I just said no dice
When it comes to the men and the mice
Dont go to nightclubs anymore
Im not a legend in my own mind
Dont need booze to unwind
Dont have no reason to pretend
Aint got no huckleberry friend
Alcohol was too big a price
Thats why I said hey no dice
When it comes to men or mice
Dont go to nightclubs no more
Dont go to nightclubs no more
Dont go to nightclubs no more
Dont go to nightclubs no more, Im such a bore
Dont go to nightclubs no more |

And you burn so bright

And move on further into the light?
Ive been calling you on the phone

While youre out there on the highway
While youre driving roll on by
Going south between the bridges
While the river running dry
And if you cant come home
Please send your mind
Well now youre talking
Where are you going
On the train that just rolls
Across the nation past the station
And the night is as black as coal
And if you cant come home
Please send your mind
Are you healing on your heartbeat?
Are you heading between the sheet
And the signs from the lamppost
On the corner of the street
And if you cant come home
Please send your mind
Send your mind, please, little darling
Little darling, send your mind
Send a little money too
Little darling, send your mind
Im coming home... |

If you only knew all the problems
That a man like me has to face
If you only knew all the silly
Things that keep a man from his place
I wouldnt want to sing your own song
Your gonna have to lose a few
If you only knew
If you only knew all the dealing
That goes on in back of the store
If you only knew how that one thats
Got a lot cant wait to get more
I wouldnt want to cramp your style
But if you want to make it all worthwhile
You have to have your own breakthrough
If you only knew
If you only knew what could happen to
A man for telling the truth
If you only knew all the scruples
That go down in gin and vermouth
I wouldnt want to steer you wrong
But if you want to sing your own song
Your gonna have to lose a few
If you only knew |

Morrison Van
The Philosophers Stone
High Spirits
This is an instrumental done with the Chieftains, in three sections. The first is up-tempo, a jig; the shorter second features Celtic chants by the Chieftains; the third slows the pace a bit and has Van doing a few da-da-das. The three sections are repeated, then parts 1 & 2 are done a third time before a fadeout of chants |
Had my congregation, had my flock
When I was a shepherd of men
Chased the wild goose, chased the pot of gold
Chased the rainbows end
How can a poor boy deliver this message to you?
How can a poor boy? You dont believe anything thats true
Had my rise, had my downfall
Now Im gonna rise up again
Had my degrees, my initiations
Not speaking to the profane
How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you dont believe a thing thats true?
Alright
Ive been anointed, been appointed
Even been magnified
Spied a chapel all of gold
The priest was laying down with the swine
How can a poor boy get a little message to you?
How can a poor boy when you dont believe anything is true?
How can a poor boy get this message through to you?
How can a poor boy when you dont believe a single thing is true?
Alright
Watch the illusion of false security
Play of the shadows that move
Tell me what evil lurks in the hearts of men
Only the shadow knows
How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you dont believe a thing thats true, for you
When you dont believe a thing, nothing thats true for you
How can a poor boy ever get next to you? |
Whenever God shines his light on me
Opens up my eyes so I can see
When I look up in the darkest night
I know everythings going to be alright
In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for him he is there
When I am lonely as I can be
And I know that God shines his light on me
Reach out for him, hell be there
With him your troubles you can share
If you live, the life you love
You get the blessing from above
He heals the sick and heals the lame
Says you can do it too in Jesus name
Hell lift you up and turn you around
And put your feet back on higher ground
Reach out for him, hell be there
With him your troubles, you can share
You can use his higher power
Every day and any hour
He heals the sick and heals the lame
He says you can heal them too in Jesus name
He lifts you up and turns you around
Puts your feet back on higher ground
When he shines his light
Whenever God shines his light on you
He is the way, he is the truth he is the light |
There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
Pretty baby you are the soul that snaps my control

Music all around me, crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
Baby close to you, turns me into your slave
Come on
Come and do with me any little thing that you want to
Anything, baby just met me get next to you

In the clear blue sky
How I worry bout you
Just cant live my life without you
Baby come here, dont have no fear
Oh, is there wonder why
Im really feeling in the mood for love
So tell me why, stop to think about this weather, my dear
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again so baby wont you
Come and put our two hearts together
That would make me strong and brave
Oh, when we are one, Im not afraid, Im not afraid
If theres a cloud up above us
Go on and let in rain
Im sure our love together would endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Wont you please let me love you and get a release from this awful misery
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Dont you understand me, oh baby please
Pull yourself together, got to do it very soon
My hearts on fire, come on and take
Ill be what you make me, my darling
Oh, pretty baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to keep a lovin state of mind
Im so crazy mama
Never knew what love was all about
James Moody would you come on hit me, you can blow now if you want to, were |
I can hear her heart beat from a thousand miles
And the heaven opens everytime she smiles
And when I come to her thats where I belong
Yet I run into her like a rivers song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Shes got a fine sense of humour when Im feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
And I need her in the daytime

And when Im returning from so far away

Yet it makes me mellow down into my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love |
Lets go walking where the boats go by
And watch them sail across the bay
Let me hold your hand in the morning fog
Little child I want to walk your dog
Hey, hey girl
Hey, hey girl
Youre so young
I dont know what to do
And lets go walking up that mountain slope
And look down on the city down below
I will make a fool of you
Hey, hey girl
Hey, hey girl
Youre so young
You make me lose my mind
Hey there go your baby sister |
See you watching me like a hawk
I dont mind the way you like to talk
If you touch me got to give
I live the life I love and I love the life I live
My diamond ring and my money, too
Tomorrow night they might belong to you
The girls move me at their will
I live the life I love and I love the life I live
I may bet a hundred on a horse one time
Tomorrow night I cant cover your dime
Next week I might be over the hill
Im just tryin to tell you people how I feel
See me rockin as I pass you by
Dont talk about me cause I could be high
Just forgive me if you will
I live the life I love and I love the life I live
I may bet a hundred on a horse one time
Tomorrow night I cant cover your dime
Next week I might be over the hill
Im just tryin to tell you people how I feel
See me rockin as I pass you by
Dont talk about me cause I could be high
Just forgive me if you will
I live the life I love and I love the life I live |

When evening shadows fall
Minutes seem so long
When evening shadows fall
Im waiting for the dawn
I miss you every night
Just about this time
Youre always on my mind
When evening shadows fall
When evening shadows fall
End up staring at the wall
Even when youre gone
The feelings all so strong
Want you to come on back
Back where you belong
So I can sing my song
When evening shadows fall
Well Im living in a dream
And it s getting so late
And you call my name
And Im wide awake
It might as well be night
Hope that youre alright
Well I just cant wait
To get you in my sight
Im here every day
Just about this time
From dusk till dawn
When evening shadows fall
Well Im living in a dream
And its getting so late
And you call my name
Then Im wide awake
It might as well be night
Hope that youre alright
Well I just cant wait
To get you in my sight
You ask me if I miss you
I say not at all
Only every night
Bout this time
When evening shadows fall
Every night about this time
When evening shadows fail
Youre always on my mind
When evening shadows fall |
If this life is driving you to drink
Sitting round whats the use what to think
Well Ive got some consolation
Give it to you if I might
You know I dont worry about a thing because
Nothings gonna turn out right
Well this worlds just one big troubled spot
Some have plenty, some have not
Ive used to be troubled but
I finally saw the light
Now I dont worry about a thing because I know
Nothings gonna be alright
You spend your time trying to be the big winner
The minute youll get fat somebody else will get thinner
Theres always somebody messing with dynamite
You know I dont worry about a thing because I know
Nothings gonna turn out right |
Oh the warm feeling
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you
Like a child within the kingdom
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you
And it filled with devotion
And it made me plainly see
And it healed all my emotions
As I sat by you
As we sat inside the sunshine
And we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling, as I sat by you
And it filled me with religion
And it gave great comfort to me
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you
Oh the warm feeling as we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you |
Lord have mercy! Feel so good
I think Im gonna work
I was talking to the judge, just before we left the countryside
Piece of paper in his hand, trying to find the way
Trying to rip it out, well now Ive got it all around
Tore the pages up before they brought the curtain down
I remember the day, the Drumshanbo Hustle
When you couldnt hear a bird, it was making not a sound
They were trying to muscle in, an easy way to bring the money in
You were puking up your guts
When you looked at the standard contract you just signed
Prostitution on the run, ceptin what it was soliciting
Tryin to drain them all dry, got hung up by the rope
Magazines and books, clearly undefinable
Wiped the clean slate, and pulled the rug from underneath her feet
I remember the day, the Drumshanbo Hustle
When you couldnt hear no birds, cos they were making not a sound
They were trying to muscle in, the recording and the publishing
You were puking up your guts
When you read the standard contract you just signed, alright!
New York hooker by the neck, reads your Tarot cards and astronomy
Hey, I want to get your stars but dont know your sign
It was taking time to get the message through to it
But will hand down shake you one, and a letter five T rhyme
No sign poker
Oh, remember the day, the Drumshanbo Hustle
Couldnt hear a bird, Lord, you couldnt hear no sound
They were trying to muscle in
On the gigs and the recording and the publishing
You were puking up your guts
When you read the standard contract you just signed
You were puking up your guts
When you read the standard contract that you signed
You were puking up your guts
When you read the standard contract you just signed |
The way you see me walking on
Thats why Im telling you in song
Theres only one way to get ahead
Youve got to give it up instead
Start all over again
You see me standing on the bridge
I see the sunset in my view
Those fields look colorful to me
And I know theres more than I can see too
Start all over again
Made it through the winter time
Made it through the spring
Made it through the summer
And the fall
Thats why Im giving you the time
You wanted your own mind
The way is up to you and me
And theres horizons yet to see too
When we start all over again
Made it through the winter time
And made it through the spring
Made it through the summer
And the fall, girl
Thats why Im giving you the time
You always wanted your own mind
The way is up to you and me
And theres horizons yet to see
When we
Start all over again
Over again
Start all over again
Start all over again
Start all over again
STart all over again
Start all over again
Start all over again
Well, start all over again
Start all over again
All over again
Again |
All work and no play
Makes Jack a dull chap
When it comes to the crunch
Its too much Ive got to stop
No pain and no gain its driving me insane
Id like to be somewhere else
Like to be all by myself
Like to be down at the beach
Relaxing at the sugar shack
Hot dogs coffee black
Coca cola kicking back
Im just a wild and crazy guy
But Im tearing at the seams
Before you can say Jack Robinson
Ill be seeing you in my dreams
Shes on a blanket with a book
In the shade, white suit
Happy hour at the bar
And Im jamming with some friends
Were up to the same tricks
Drinking cocktails getting our kicks
Later on by the pool
Looking good ah, be cool
Theres no craic double back
Moving on down the track
Moving on down the line
Got to chill out in style
Got to ease my troubled mind
Thinking just might be a crime
All work and no play
Makes Jack a dull chap
When it comes to the crunch
Its too much Ive got to stop
No pain no gain its all going
Down the drain |
Baby just one sweet kiss
Honey from your sweet lips
Baby just one sweet kiss
Honey from your sweet lips
Thats all I want, thats all I need
Im satisfied
Baby just one of your smiles
You know makes it all worthwhile
Baby just one of your smiles
You know makes it all worthwhile
We could go walking down the lane
Together hand in hand
But if you think
That its gonna rain
Well stay at home
And listen to the band
Baby just one sweet kiss
Honey from your sweet lips
Baby just one of your smiles
You know makes it all worthwhile
Thats all I want, thats all I need
Im satisfied |
Well, well, the birds in the trees
Know something we cant see
Cause they know we were born to be free
Dont need the government cramping my style
Give them an inch, they take a mile
Take you in with a phony smile, wouldnt you agree?
The new normal is not normal
Its no kind of normal at all
Everyone seems to have amnesia
Just trying to remember the Berlin Wall
Some kind of new old ideology
With new psychology
But its not for the benefit of you and me
No, no, no
The new normal is not normal
Its no kind of normal at all
Everyone seems to have amnesia
Trying to remember the Berlin Wall
Its some kind of new old ideology
Running tandem with the weary
Kinda psychology
But its not for the benefit of you and me
Cause we , we were born to be free
Cause we were born to be free
Cause we were born to be free |
twas on a sunday and the autumn leaves were on the ground
It kicked my heart when i saw you standing there in your dress of blue
The storm was over, my ship sailed through
What is this feeling, what can i do?
If you and i could be relieved
To walk and talk and be deceived
Id give my all and all and more i would do, oh yeah
If darling only you and i could be as two
If we could dream and by our dreams
Sew this wicked world up at the seams
Id give my life and more i would do
If darling only you and i could be as two
Baby, do you remember
All the good times we had together
Walking through the park
Baby, then, then we could sing
Gave you all my money
Everything in the world that i had
You told me that dont mean a thing
If still in darkness we could run
Together there in that morning sun
Id give my all, my life and everything to you, oh yeah
If darling only you and i could be as two
Could be as two, could be as two
Could be as two, baby ... |
The rain is all over, its only stopped for an hour
And I stop you, and I stop you
When you go too far
And you stop me when I go too far
And it tried to freak me
But I should have known
Its not the twilight zone, you know, its not the twilight zone
Yes its just a party phone, and pure honeycomb, honeycomb, honeycomb
Yeah, yeah, uhuh
Uhuh, uhuh
You tried to take me in a slow poke draw
Like the cowboy wished
And you got just what you saw
Well, you got what you saw
Didnt you get, didnt you get, didnt you get
So, dont let it freak you
When, when it gets down to the bone
You know its not the twilight zone, its not the twilight zone
Its just a party phone, and honeycomb, honeycomb
And its not, its not the twilight zone
Its just a party phone
Honeycomb, honeycomb, honey, honeycomb, honeycomb
Its not, its not the twilight zone
Its just a party phone
And honeycomb, ya!
You know its not the twilight zone
Its, its, its just a party phone
Honeycomb, honeycomb, honeycomb, honeycomb, honeycomb
You know what it is
Just a party phone, party phone
Honeycomb, honeycomb, honeycomb
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Honeycomb, honeycomb
Honeycomb |

I was educated by the school of hard knocks
Tell me whos gonna patronise me now?
Theyve brainwashed the suckers again and perpetrated the myth
Propaganda far and wide
No wavelength, no mileage
No current currency
No answers - just silence
And nothing is what its supposed to be
I was educated by the school of hard knocks
Tell me whos gonna patronise me now?
I got shipwrecked and got stranded on the rocks
Everybody left me high and dry
I was educated by the school of hard knocks
Whos gonna patronise me now?
Brainwashed the suckers again and perpetrated the myth
Propaganda far and wide
No wavelength, no mileage
Theres no current currency
No answers - only silence
Nothing looks like its meant to be
I was educated by the school of hard knocks
Whos gonna patronise me now?
Just got shipwrecked and stranded on the rocks
And it left me high and dry
And its left me sitting high and dry
And it left me sitting high and dry
And it left me sitting high and dry |
Well, they told me to come on over
I made my way to New York
And they tried to have me deported
Stop me from getting work
Blacklisted me all over
They were vicious and they were mean
They were bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene
Oh, they looked like politicians
But underneath they were thugs
And they spread malicious rumours
Threatened to have me busted for drugs
They had nothing on me
Oh man, I was really clean
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene
They put a bug in my apartment
To listen in on my calls
I was looking for some motivation
I couldnt find any, any motivation at all
They were very desperate people
Riding in long black limousines
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene
They were glorified by the media
They were heroes who had names
They said that they would bury me
If I didnt play their game
They said I didnt know the score
And that I was young and green
They were bigame operators
On the music business scene
Tried to hold me to a phoney contract
I said I didnt agree
Had to get out of the clutches
Had to go underground you see
Now Im living in another country
But I know exactly just where Ive been
Stay away from bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene
Well, baby bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Oh baby, bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Well, full of names and places
Baby, you know who I mean |
Goin down to Monte Carlo about 25k from Nice
Goin down to Monte Carlo about 25k from Nice
Got to get myself together, gotta get my head some peace
Sartre said that hell is other people, I believe that most of them are
Sartre said hell is other people, I believe that most of them are
Well their pettiness amazes me, even after Ive gone this far
Goin down to Monte Carlo, 25k from Nice
Goin down to Monte Carlo bout 25k from Nice
Gotta get my head together, gotta get my head some peace
Playing in the background some kind of phony pseudo jazz
Playing in the background in the restaurant, some kind of phony pseudo jazz
I dont care Im trying to get away from people, that are trying to drive me mad
After everything Ive worked for, not goin to throw everything away
After everything I worked so hard for, Im not goin to give it all away
I just need to take a raincheck, I cant live to fight another day
Goin down to Monte Carlo, 25k from Nice
Goin down, goin down to Monte Carlo, still about 25k from Nice
Got to get my head showered, got to find some release |
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right round the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
Hes as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Hes an angel of the first degree
Hes as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee
Now you cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant keep us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armour bent on chivalry
Hes as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Hes an angel of the first degree
Hes as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee
I heard a tale of old Manhattan
Ive never been there, but I want, wanna go
Standing waiting on my number
And my number, its gonna show
Hes as sweet as Tupelo, Tupelo Honey
Hes an angel of the first degree
Hes as sweet, hes as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee
Hes as sweet, hes as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Hes an angel of the first degree
Hes as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee
Hes as sweet, hes as sweet |
From my retreat and view
Make my own break through
And I might see things new
From my retreat and view
Theres visions to behold
Treasures to unfold
Home away from home
From my retreat and view
Well the higher you go
The more that you know you can find
Like a memory thats there
Stuck in the back of your mind
Theres bargains of the soul
Dreams that do unfold
Now I know its true
From my retreat and view
Theres bargains of the soul
Treasures to behold
Some time to start anew
From my retreat and view
From my retreat and view
Got to make my own break through
So I can see things new
From my retreat and view
High up on the mountainside
From my retreat and view
The place to satisfy
From my retreat and view
From my retreat and view
Got to make my own break through
So I can see things new
From my retreat and view |
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Had our bodies both as one as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...
Too late to stop now... |
If it matters how you do it
And how you do it its your thing
If it matters which way you go
Thats your way to go
And if you get it like that
Thats the way you get it
cause you get it like that
When you want to be that way
When you wanna be that way
Thats the way you wanna be, see
Now that you try to do to me
Out there a-walkin doesnt matter, baby
Aint no question, no suggestion
Nothin in my mind that cant be
Shut out when I want it to be
Nothin in yours that cant be kept in
When you open it up and lose it
And nothin you cant let out
If its got to be let out, just let it out
And dont worry which way it goes
Hey! its all right
Hey!
Yeah, its all right
Now how can I tell you that I love you
How can I say so many words and so many syllables
In such a short space of time as this
Just turn it on and soak it in
And let it run off the walls
And let it down, keep it, and dont lose it
Or confuse it
Its just right there layin open
Completely open for everybody to see
Yeah, you got it
Hey! its all right
Hey!
Yeah, its all right |
