Miss Otis regrets shes unable to lunch today, madam
Miss Otis regrets shes unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening down in Lovers Lane
She strayed, madam
Miss Otis regrets shes unable to lunch today
When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone, madam
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her love down, madam
Miss Otis regrets, shes unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail, madam
They strung her upon the old willow across the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam
Miss Otis regrets shes unable to lunch today
Miss Otis regrets shes unable to lunch today |
Im back on th corner
Im right back on th corner
Ive been in this condition so many times before
Back by my lonesome
Im right back by my lonesome
Just watching th people going from door to door
Ive got to change my ways
And try to quit this place
cause one of these rainy days
Im gonna need a friendly face
Im back on th corner
Im right back on th corner
Ive been in this condition so many times before
Ive got to change my ways
And try to quit this place
cause one of these rainy days
Im gonna be a mental case |
We stroll through fields wet with rain
Then outside along the lane in the sunshine
The sweet, sweet summertime
The way that young lovers do
I kiss you on the lips once more
Then set back outside the door in the night time
Oh thats the right time
To feel the way that young lovers do
Chorus:
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed
Bout the way that we were
And the way that we wanted to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed
Bout the way that I was for you
And you were for me
Then we danced the night away
Turn to each other and say, I love you, oh how I love you
The way that young lovers do
Chorus |
Man makes his money and they call him rich
Deep down inside he knows that lifes still a bitch
Man tries to keep things but theyre taken away
Man has to struggle all the live long day
Man has to sweat and toil his life filled with trouble
Man got to step and fetch it on the double
Man has to work so hard to make it all pay
Man has to struggle all the live long day
Man keeps on moving cause he cant keep still
Man has to set his goals and climb up the hill
Man sees the mountains and the deep blue sky
Man has to struggle till the day that he die
Well, yes, siree Bob, them theres the breaks
Thats how it is my friend dont make no mistake
Man has to take some action all of the time
Man by his natures never satisfied
Man just cant vegetate no matter what they say
Man has to make it all the live long day
Man has to create karma thats the way that it is
Man has to keep on going way beyond his will
Man has to keep on being cause theres nothing else
And man just always has to go for himself
Take all the gurus when they meditate
Transcend the mundane into some altered state
You just might get there but youll have to pay
Mans got to struggle all the live tong day
Well, yes, siree now, Bob them theres the breaks
Thats how it is my friend dont make no mistake
Man has to watch the weather and the food that he eats
Man has to keep fit else hes prone to disease
No matter what he does theres stress every which way
Man has to struggle all the live long day
Man is in conflict with his natural self
Man has to suppress his own desires and instincts
Man has to work so hard to keep them at bay
Man has to struggle all the live long day
Man was told that he was born in original sin
By people long ago that were conning him
Man is so out of touch he cant trust himself
But mans still got to win by cunning and stealth |
I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
Left me to come through
I headed for the right way
I knew exactly just what to do
I dreamed we played cards in the dark
And you lost and you lied
Wasnt very hard to do
But hurt me deep down inside
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
My back was up against the wall
And you slowly just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that way
With my face against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
Then you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sow
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
And hush-a-bye, dont ever think about it
Go to sleep dont ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel sent down from above
And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
A crowd of people gathered round
To the question answered yes
And you slapped me on the face
I turned around the other cheek
You couldnt really stand the pace
And I would never be so meek
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
And hush-a-bye, dont ever think about it
Go to sleep dont ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel sent down from above |
One of these days and it wont be long
Youre gonna look for me an Ill be gone
Cause
Said I believe right now
I believe, yes I believe
Oh, I believe to my soul
Tryin to make a fool out of me
I believe it!
Oh, goin round here wit yo head so hard, huh
I think Im gonna have to use my rod
Cause I believe yes I
Said I believe right now yes I
Whoa-oh, I believe to my soul
Tryin to make a fool outta me
Last night I was dreamin and I got your plan
Saw you an your girlfriend walkin hand in hand
Thats why I believe
Said I believe right now
Whoa-whoa, I believe to my soul
Tryin to make a fool outta me
I believe it !
Last night I was dreamin an I dug your plan
Saw you an your girlfriend walkin hand in hand
And I believe, I believe yes

Whoa-whoa, I believe to my soul
Tryin to make a fool outta me

When too many demands have destroyed all my plans
Going down to the end of the land
If I have to drive all night just to feel all right
Going down to the end of the land
When it gets out of hand and I fail to agree
Just whats in it for me?
Going down to the sea
Then Ive got to run towards the setting sun
Going down to the end of the land
When it gets out of hand and I beg to disagree
Just whats in it for me?
Get back down to the sea
And then Ive got to run to the setting sun
Going down to the end of the land
If Ive got to drive all night till the morning light
Im going down to the end of the land
Ba da da da da, ba da da da da da
Going down, going down, going down to the end of the land
Ba da da da da, ba da da da da
Going down to the end of the land |
The more Im with you pretty baby
The more I feel my love increase
Im building all my dreams around you
My happiness will never cease
But nothings any good without you
Cause baby youre my centerpiece
I buy a house and garden somewhere
Along a country road a piece
A little cottage on the outskirts
Where we can really find release
But nothings any good without you
Cause baby youre my centerpiece
Hey baby come and go
The more Im with you pretty baby
The more I feel my love increase
Im building all my dreams around you
My happiness will never cease
But nothings any good without you
Cause baby youre my centerpiece
I buy a house and garden somewhere
Along a country road a piece
A little cottage on the outskirts
Where we can really find release
But nothings any good without you
Cause baby youre my centerpiece |
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Oh, on my mind, on my mind
Well, well, well, well, well I say hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Georgia
Just the thought of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As the moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
For that peaceful dreams I see
The road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road
Leads back to you
Ohh, say that Georgia
No peace, no peace, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps you, keeps you, keeps you
Gentle on my mind
Your arms your arms your arms your arms your arms your arms your arms your arms reach out to me
Your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes smile tenderly
For that peaceful, for that peaceful dreams I see
Oh the hardened ground and road
Lead back to you
Georgia

Just an old sweet song
Just an old sweet, just an old sweet, just an old sweet song
Keeps you, keeps you, on my mind, on my mind, on my mind
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
On my mind, on my mind |
Mystic of the east, mystic from the streets
Mystic with no brief, back here on the street
Mystic out of reach, cant find no reason to speak
I just got in too deep for the mystic of the east
I was deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart
Mystic with no peace, back here in the east
Fed up to the teeth, mystic of the east
I was deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart of down
Deep in the heart
Mystic out of reach, cant seem to find my brief
Gone with the wild geese and Ive had it up to the teeth
Mystic of the east, back here on the streets
Mystic with no brief, I cant find any reason to speak
Mystic of the east, east, east, east
Back here on the street, back on the street
Back on the street, mystic of the east
Back here on the street, mystic of the east |

This love of mine goes on and on
Though life is empty since you have gone
Youre always on my mind though out of sight
Its lonesome through the day but oh, the lonely nights
I cry my heart out, its bound to break
Since nothing matters just let it break
I ask the sun and the moon and the stars that shine
Whats to become of it?
This love of mine
I cry my heart out, its bound to break
But since nothing matters go ahead and let it break
I ask the sun and the moon and all the stars that shine
Whats to become of it?
Whats to become of it?
Whats to become of it?
This love of mine |

And theyll lay you down low in the easy
And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas
And the miles that you traveled the distance
So believe no lies, dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
Then all the knights will step forth with their arm bands
And evry stranger you meet in the street will make demands
So believe no lies, then dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La, la, la...
And well send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes sa you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come in right on time
And theyll talk to you while youre in trances
And youll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion
And expect them to rise for the occasion
Dont it gratify when you see it materialize
Right in front of your eyes
That surprise
And theyll lay you down low and easy |

Youre gonna save yourself a whole lot of tears
Dont try to figure out who was wrong and who was right
Got to move along, baby
Thats right, you got to roll with the punches
Yeah, youve got to go with the flow
Roll with the punches

No use staring at your old photograph

Only one way you can clear your tormented mind
Stop thinking she was one of a kind
Youve got to roll with the punches
Man, youve got to go with the flow
Roll with the punches
Oh, thats the only way to go
No use staring at your old photograph
Walkin around your neighborhood, gotta tear it in half
Only one way you can clear your tormented mind
Stop thinking she was just one of a kind

Man, youve got to try and go with the flow
Got to roll with the punches
Man, thats the only way you go
Youve got to roll with the punches
Got to roll with the punches

Roll with the punches
Man thats the only way to go
Only way to go, yeah, yeah, yeah |
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
I have seen without perceiving
I have been another man
Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Feel the angel of the present
In the mighty crystal fire
Lift me up consume my darkness
Let me travel even higher
Im a dweller on the threshold
As I cross the burning ground
Let me go down to the water
Watch the great illusion drown
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im gonna turn and face the music
The music of the spheres
Lift me up consume my darkness
When the midnight disappears
I will walk out of the darkness
And Ill walk into the light
And Ill sing the song of ages
And the dawn will end the night
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im a dweller on the threshold
And I cross some burning ground
And Ill go down to the water
Let the great illusion drown
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im a dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold |
Oh fame, theyve taken everything and twisted it
Oh fame they say
You never could have resisted it
Whats in a name
And everybodys jaded by fame
Oh fame again
The press has gone and made another mess of it
Oh just because they got
So much invested in it
But they say youre to blame its your own fault
Cos you got mixed up in fame
Oh no dont believe all that old Andy Warhol guff
It takes a lot more than 10 or 15 minutes
Thats just not enough
To qualify you for
Fame, you went beyond the boundaries of sanity
And every day you defy
All the laws of gravity
You aint got no shame
Cos youre just addicted to fame
Oh no dont you buy none of that old Andy Warhol stuff
It takes a lot more than 10 or 15 minutes
Thats just not enough
To qualify you for
Fame, theyre already setting up your own Watergate
Oh fame, that stalker out there is just filled with hate
Youll never be the same
Cos everyones corrupted by fame
Oh fame, they took away all my humanity
Oh fame got to fight
Every second of the day for my dignity
Its a spectators game
And there aint nothing fair about fame
Oh fame, oh fame
Oh fame say it again, fame
They say youre to blame
Cos you got mixed up in fame |

The sound of the evening breeze
Is calling you back to me
The sun behind the clouds
Reminds me that youre not around
Lover come back to my arms
Lover come back to my heart
The sound of the roar of the waves
The misty evening haze
Playing that sad refrain
Going through it all over again
Lover come back to my arms
Lover come back to my heart

À chacun sa chanson
Son refrain, sa raison
À seize ans pour aimer
À cent ans pour rêver
Il faut chanter
Là-là-là....
Ton refrain sans façon
Cest le tien, cest le bon
Ta guitare joue la Tosca
Ta baignoire cest lopéra
Il faut chanter
Là-là-là....
À chacun sa chanson
À chacun sa façon
En solo, en chorale
Juste ou faux, bien ou mal
Il faut chanter
Là-là-là... |
Kicked your gift-horse in the teeth
Crowd gathered round in the street
You killed your savior new one cant be found
Talk is cheap your saviors highway bound
You read the tabloids every day
Theyre giving lots of things away
They went to build you up so they can bring you down
Talk is cheap its gonna could make them a million pounds
Now baby, dont put your business on the telephone
Tell your girlfriend just to leave me alone
Tell her to watch her mouth before she talks to anybody, anybody
Oh, cos talk is cheap it comes with the territory
Sometimes its back-to-front sometimes its upside down
Put your money where your mouth is when you come around
Backbiters and syndicators walking from Chinatown
Oh talk is cheap why dont you lay your money down?
Well, they say you cant shut up a god damn fool
Aint no exception to the rule
Its blah, blah, blah, blah just like a nursery rhyme
Talk is cheap almost all the time, alright |
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
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh
I was lost and double crossed
With my hands behind my back
I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt
Shoved out on the railroad track
Ive been used, abused and so confused
And I had nowhere to run
But I stood and looked
And my eyes got hooked
On that beautiful morning sun
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh
And the sun shines down all on the ground
Yeah and the grass is oh so green
And my heart is still and Ive got the will
And I dont really feel so mean
Here it comes, here it comes
0 here it comes right now
And it comes right in on time
Well it eases me and it pleases me
And it satisfies my mind
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh |

With the help, last night, of Daddy G
He was swingin on the sax like a nobody could
And I was dancin all over the room
Oh, dont you know the people were dancin like they were mad
It was the swinginest band they had, ever had
It was the swinginest song that could ever be
It was a night with Daddy G
Let me tell you now, I never had it so good
Yeah and I know you never could
Until you get hip with that jive
And take a band like the Church Street Five
Oh dont you know that I danced, I danced till a quarter to three
With the help last night of Daddy G
Everybody was as happy as they could be
And they were swingin with Daddy G
Blow Daddy!
Let me tell you now, I never had it so good
Yeah and I know you never could
Until you get hip with that jive
And take a band like the Church Street Five
Oh dont you know that I danced, I danced till a quarter to three
With the help last night of Daddy G
He was swingin on the sax like a nobody could
And I was dancin all over the room
Oh dont you know the
Dance, do bee wa dah
Dance, do bee wah dah
You can dance, do bee wah dah
You can dance, dance, dance |
Evening Train by Van Morrison
Love to hear that evening train go by
Love to hear that evening train go by
Specially when I babysit my mind
Love to hear that lonesome whistle blow
Love to hear that lonesome whistle blow
Then I make my way on down the road
Chorus:
My, my, bye, bye
Dont cry, dont sigh
When I hear that evening train go by….alright!
Love to hear that evening train on time
Love to hear that evening train on time
Specially with those worries on my mind
Chorus:
My My, Dont cry
Why why? Dont sigh
When you hear that evening train go by
Love to see those fields I used to roam
Love to see those fields I used to roam
Now I know Im on my way back home
Chorus:
My my. Good bye
Dont cry, Dont sigh
When ya hear that evening train go by………..one more time
When you hear that evening train go by |
Have I Told You Lately that I love you?
Have I told you theres no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, thats what you do
For the morning sun in all its glory
Meets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter, you can make it better
Ease my troubles, thats what you do
Theres a love less defined
And its yours and its mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We will give thanks and pray
To The One, to The One
Have I Told You Lately that I love you?

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 old 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

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
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
La te da
So hard to find my way
Now that Im all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, you have grown
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?
Sha la la la la la la la la la la de da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la de da
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la de da |
Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a childlike vision leaping into view
Clicking, clacking of the high-heeled shoe
Ford and Fitzroy, Madame George
Marching with the soldier boy behind
Hes much older now with hat on drinking wine
And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through
The cool night air like Shalimar
And outside theyre making all the stops
The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops
Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
Happy taken Madame George
Thats when you fall
Whoa, thats when you fall
Yeah, thats when you fall
When you fall into a trance
Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms and history books
You glance into the eyes of Madame George
And you think you found the bag
Youre getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
In the corner playing dominoes in drag
The one and only Madame George
And then from outside the frosty window raps
She jumps up and says, Lord, have mercy I think its the cops
And immediately drops everything she gots
Down into the street below
And you know you gotta go
On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row
Throwing pennies at the bridges down below
And the rain, hail, sleet, and snow
Say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
And as you leave, the room is filled with music
Laughing, music, dancing, music all around the room
And all the little boys come around, walking away from it all
So cold, and as youre about to leave
She jumps up and says, hey love, you forgot your gloves
And the loves to love to love the love
To say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
Dry your eyes for Madame George
Say goodbye in the wind and the rain on the back street
In the backstreet, in the back street
Say goodbye to Madame George
In the backstreet, in the back street, in the back street
Down home, down home in the back street
Gotta go, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Dry your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye
Say goodbye to Madame George
And the loves to love to love the love
Say goodbye
Say goodbye goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
The loves to love, the loves to love, the loves to love
Say goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train
Get on the train, the train, the train
This is the train, this is the train
Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train, get on the train |

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
When that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
When that 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
Then magnificently we will float
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, oh
And together we will float
Into the mystic, come on, girl
Its too late to stop it now |

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
And Im trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic
Seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight
Seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I cant wait till the morning has come
And I know that 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
Any time I touch you
You just tremble inside
And 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 you, my love?

I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
Left me to come through
I headed for the right way
I knew exactly just what to do
I dreamed we played cards in the dark
And you lost and you lied
Wasnt very hard to do
But hurt me deep down inside
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
My back was up against the wall
And you slowly just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that way
With my face against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
Then you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sow
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
And hush-a-bye, dont ever think about it
Go to sleep dont ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel sent down from above
And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
A crowd of people gathered round
To the question answered yes
And you slapped me on the face
I turned around the other cheek
You couldnt really stand the pace
And I would never be so meek
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
And hush-a-bye, dont ever think about it
Go to sleep dont ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel sent down from above |
And the caravan is on its way
I can hear the merry gypsies play
Mama mama look at Ammaro
Shes a-playin with the radio

Gypsy Robin, Sweet Emma Rose
Tell me everything I need to know

Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light

You didnt know I wasnt free when you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair
They say you wrecked my home
Im a husband thats gone wrong
They dont know the sorrow that we had to bear
While the one I was tied to was the first to be untrue
How can they call our love a back street affair
Well we have each other now
Thats all that matters anyhow
While the judgement of gossips never fair
Well just be brave and strong
Then someday theyll see theyre wrong
So let them call our love a back street affair
Well be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then well share
And Ill climb a mountain high and the world will hear me cry |
More and more
Im forgetting the past
More and more
Im living at last
Day by day
Im losing my blues
More and more
Im forgetting about you
And oh how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried the day you said goodbye
Day by day
Im losing my blues
More and more
Im forgetting about you
But oh how I tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried the day you said goodbye
Day by day
Im losing my blues
More and more
Im forgetting about you
Day by day
Im losing my blues

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, mmm mmm
And when the fog horn blows
I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float
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 wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic
Come on girl

We met, deep down in Somerset
A time I cant forget
When we were sippin cider in the shade
Oh the sun was setting in the West
You looked your very best that night
Stars were shining in your eyes
And we walked, walked all along the sand
And it felt, felt like a wonderland
And when the summer breeze was gone
The memory lingered on
You and me down in Somerset
Oh we walked, walked and walked and walked all along the sand
And it felt just like our love just began
And when the summer breeze was gone
The memory lingered on, me and you
When the summer set
We met, we met, we met deep down in Somerset
A time I cant forget
You were sippin cider in the shade |

Before you travel on
Look up - look up
And seek your maker
fore Gabriel blows his horn
Weary toting such a load
Trudging down - that lonesome road
Look down - look down

Before you travel on
True love - true love
What have I done
That you should treat me so
You - caused me
To walk and talk
Like I never did before
Weary toting - such a load
Trudging down that lonesome road
Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on |
Little gal, little girl, Lord, you know its true

I done more for you than your Daddy has ever done
Gave you my jelly roll and he aint give you none
Lets go, Eric
Dont you ever go down, down on Curzon Street, its bad
Dont you ever go down, down on Curzon Street
Thats where old John flogs his daily meat
Maybe sometime he say leave the little boy and the girl behind

All right, we got a good thing going
You can leave now if you dont like whats happening
You know we got a...a few things going, you know, ha ha
Its a drag, ha ha, huh, thats what you call it |
People come and people go
One monkey dont stop no show
Im getting too tired to start all over again
Cos it aint gonna change no thing
Theres just all of this here land
Been trampled on by man
And all around me, all these birds of prey
And all Im trying to do is just get by one more day
Only a fool would ever think things could ever be the same
Only a fool would surmise everyone is sane
Oh I watch them come and go
Im fed up with the status quo
And Im feeling too tired to start all over again
Cos I know that it aint gonna change no thing
Alright
Only a fool could think that things would ever be simple again
Only a fool would surmise everyone is the same
So I watch them come and go
I dont have time for the status quo
I say blessed be and Im on my way, on my way
Cos it aint gonna change no thing, no, no, no, no, no, no
Well it aint gonna change no thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well it aint gonna change no thing |
Its four oclock in the morning, and theres a new full moon
Shining down through the trees
But dont leave the room now, leave it in doubt
Pretend not to know what Im talking about
I try, all night long
I try, I want you to come along
I feel it when you touch me, Im already wet
But how are you supposed to know what you get
Wake me when its over, but dont turn on the light
Call me by name, thats alright
I try, all night long
Ooh, I try to carry on
And, how can you go through, how can you go through
So many changes
Oh, how can you go through, how can you go through
So many changes
Its a family affair, its a family affair
Its a family affair, its a family affair, its a family affair
Try for sleep, why dont you try for sleep
Why dont you try for sleep
Im pushin the river, ready to roll
Oh, I can feel it in my soul
Give me the high light and leave out the rest
You know what they told me
They said the west is best

Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me
My heart wants to go
So I must know
Where my destiny leads me
With no star to guide me
No one beside me
I will go on my way
And after today
The darkness will hide me
Maybe tomorrow
I going to find what Im after
Throw out my sorrow
Beg steal or borrow
My share of laughter
With you I can cling to
I can learn too with you
Im going to emulate
Who can I turn to
If you turn away
Maybe tomorrow
I going to find what Im after
Throw out my sorrow
Beg steal or borrow
My share of laughter
With you I can cling to
I can learn too with you
Im going to emulate
Who can I turn to
If you turn away
Who can I turn to? |

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Lordy, how they could love
Swore to be true to each other
Yeah, true to the skies above
He was her man, wouldnt do her no wrong
And Frankie and Johnny went walkin
And Johnny had on a new suit
Yeah, Frankie spent one-hundred dollar notes
Just to make her man look cute
He was her man, he wouldnt do her no wrong
Frankie went over to the barroom
Stopped for a bottle of beer
Said to the old bartender man
Has my lover Johnny man been here?
He was my man, Lord, but hed been doin me wrong, so wrong.
Yeah, Frankie looked over the transom door
And there to her great surprise
There sat her lover man Johnny
Makin love to Nellie Bly
He was her man, but he was doin her wrong
Well, Frankie lifted up her kimono dress
And she drew out a little .44
She shot once, twice, three times she shot him
And through that hardwood floor
Yeah, she shot her man
Well, but he been doin her wrong yeah
He said, roll me over so careful ah
Roll me over so slow
Oh roll me off to my left hand side
Because your bullet hurt me so
I was your man, but I been doin you wrong.
Play it Chris!
Well, they sent for Frankies mother
Come down to Huddies saloon
To see whats the matter with her boy
She come down, Frankie looked up at her
Here what she said:
She said, Oh Mrs. Johnson, oh forgive me please
Well I killed your lovin son, Johnny
But Im down on my bended knee
I shot your man, cause he was doin me wrong ah
She said, Ill forgive you Frankie
She said, Ill forgive you not, not
For killin lovin son Johnny
Hes the only support that Ive got
Lord, you shot my man and he was doin you wrong.
Well, the last time I seen Frankie
She was a-sittin in a dungeon cell
She would be there lonely, herself
With no one there to care
She shot her man, a-hed been doin her wrong, so wrong
Well, bring out the rubber tired so long
You gotta bring out your pony and trap
Yeah, theyre gonna take Johnny, Johnny to the cemetery
And he aint never coming back
Well, he was her man
Oh, but he been doin her wrong, so wrong
Well, the story aint got no moral, Lordy
But the story aint got no end
Well, the story only goes to show
That there aint no damn good in men!
She shot her man
But he was doin her wrong
Yeah, ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba

A well moneys gettin cheaper
Price is gettin steeper
I found a little woman
But i just couldnt keep her
Times gettin tougher than tough
Times gettin rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
I just keep spendin the stuff
Oh well pork chops on the market
Ask the butcher for a pound
I couldnt get no pork chop
When i laid my money down
Times gettin tougher than tough
Times gettin rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
I just keep spendin the stuff
Oh well the politicans say
Get the people on their feet
They wanna cut the price
And let the people eat
Times gettin tougher than tough
The times gettin rougher than rough
But i make alot of money
Just keep spendin the stuff
Well i cant afford to live
I guess ill have to try
Undertakers got a union
And it cost too much to die
Times gettin tougher than tough
Well times gettin rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
Just keep spendin the stuff |
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
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache in the night like a theif
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
And I need her in the daytime
I need her
And I need her in the night
I need her
And I want to throw my arms around her
I need her
And kiss and hug her kiss and hug her tight
And when Im returning from so far away
Gives me some sweet lovin brightens up my day
Yet it makes me righteous, yes it makes me whole
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 |
Up your mind

About one living cell in your brain
But thats alright, thats cool

Baby, baby, baby |
Laughing in the wind
Cryin in the rain
Ive felt this way before
Ill feel this way again
And in a small cafe
Just passing time away

No need to wonder why
And its hazy lazy waitin for springtime
Roll along, roll along
And all you gotta do is
Listen to the song
To the melody
I would do it for you
Would you do it for me
And its hazy lazy waitin for springtime
Come along, roll along
And all you gotta do is
Listen to the song
To the melody
I would do it for you
Would you do it for me
I would do it for you
Would you do it for me
I would do it for you
Would you do it for me
Do it for you
Do it for me
Yes I would, I would
Do it for you
Oh baby
Do it for me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Do it for you
Do it for me |
And theyll lay you down low in the easy
And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas
And the miles that you traveled the distance
So believe no lies, dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
Then all the knights will step forth with their arm bands
And evry stranger you meet in the street will make demands
So believe no lies, then dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La, la, la...
And well send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes sa you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come in right on time
And theyll talk to you while youre in trances
And youll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion
And expect them to rise for the occasion
Dont it gratify when you see it materialize
Right in front of your eyes
That surprise
And theyll lay you down low and easy |
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right round, all the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue see
Shes as sweet as Tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey baby from a bee
You cant stop us on the road of freedom
You cant keep us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
You cant stop us on the road of freedom
You cant keep us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry |

Oh the faucet started dripping in the kitchen
Last night your picture fell down from the wall
And today the boss said sorry son I cant use you anymore
And tonight the light bulb went out down the hall
Oh, things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right, now it seems
There aint nothin in my pocket, but three nickels and a dime
And Im holding to the pieces of my dreams
Somebody threw a baseball through my window
And the arm fell off my favourite chair today
Oh the man he came today, said hed haul all my things away
If I didnt get my payments made by ten
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Now nothin turns out half right, now it seems
There aint nothin in my pocket but three nickels and a dime |
You lay by my side in the still of the night
Let morning bring forth all thats wondrous, wondrous to light, mmm
You could have made it, made it more plain
When I hear that, hear that soft refrain
And I hear you gently sigh
I wanna take you where flamingos fly
Flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly
As we lie in the dark and hear the sweet sound of the nightingale
And we listen for the lark, and I wanna tell you babe, tell you a tale, yeah
With the soft wind blowin, blowin outside
Hey, I wanna take that moonlight ride
And I hear you gently sigh, babe
I wanna take you where flamingos fly
Flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly
And Im silently waiting for that morning light to shine
And Im looking at you, lookin at me, and Im lookin at you
And Im anticipating with each and every sign
Yes, Im lookin at you, lookin at me
Lookin at you, lookin at me, lookin back at you
And I follow that road that will take me, take me back home to you baby
Yeah, and Ill carry the load where the deer and angels roam
Where happiness touches, touches the now
I dont where it came from, I dont how
And I, and I hear you gently sigh, babe
I wanna take you where flamingos fly
Way over yonder
(Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly, flamingos fly)
Yeah, where flamingos fly
Just you and I (in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly)take me where
I cant wait no longer
I cant wait no longer(in the clear blue sky
I want to take you where flamingos fly
Thats where flamingos fly, flamingos fly)
Flamingos fly
come on, baby
Come on, baby I want to take you there
Just you and I
One time way over yonder
Way.. |
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 |

Well Im real real gone
I got hit by a bow and arrow
You got me down to the very marrow
Youre a friend of mine
And Im real real gone
On the radio
Music coming and I hear
Sam Cookes voice
Well I know I dont have any choice
Thats the way it is
And Im real, real real gone, man
I cant stand up by myself
Dont you know, baby, I need your help
Youre a friend of mine
And Im real real gone, alright
Well, Im dancing
Dancing till my, till my bodys soaking wet
Till Im completely wet with sweat
Once Ive started Im just real real gone, man
I got hit by a bow and arrow
Got me down to the very marrow
Youre a friend of mine, and Im
Real gone, man
Well the musics playing
On the radio
And the night is filled with space
When my fingertips touch your face
Youre a friend of mine
And Im, Im real real gone
Help me stand up
Help me stand up
All by myself
Youre a friend of mine
And Im real, Im real real gone
Real gone
I got hit by a bow and arrow |
Just ball

Sock it to me |
I want you to take me, where I belong
Where hearts have been broken
With a kiss and a song
With the rhythm of my day will fall and carry on
Everyone understands me
In the valley of tears
Some words have been spoken, so weak and low
But my mind is made up
The past got to go
Spend the rest of my days, without any cares
Will everyone understand me in the valley of tears?
Some words have been spoken
So sweet and low
But my mind is made up
Love has got to go
Spend the rest of my days
Without any care
Everyone understands me
In the valley of tears?
Everyone understands me
Down in the valley of tears
Here in the valley of tears
Gotta go now
Down to the valley of tears
Gotta go, gotta go now
To the valley of tears
Gotta go now, go now
To the valley of tears |
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 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 fold into the mystic
Come on girl...
Too late to stop now... |

Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Playin’ a new game
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin’ and you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old min
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow’s 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
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
So hard to find my way
Now that Im all on my own
I saw you just the othеr day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back therе, Lord
Sometimes Im overcome thinking bout
Making 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 te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
(Sha la la la la la la, la te da, la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da |
