They were drinkin his wine
They were usin his name
They were takin the time to take
His name in vain
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
They were havin their fun
Look what the good people done
Well, the good people say things that they
Dont really mean
They look so convincing cause theyre
So squeaky clean
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
Its a million to one
Look what the good people done
They put him on walkin down, they said
Lets go on with the show
And they pad him on whiskey and say
Boy youve got to go
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
Hes on the highway to none
Look what the good people done
All the newspaper men
They were lookin for names
Pulled him out of a hat
They needed someone to blame
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
He thought he was the one
Look what the good people done
Well, the good people say
Keep your nose to the ground
Then theyll build you right up
Just to knock you right down
Look what the good people done to you
Look what the good people done to you
They were gettin their kicks
Look what the good people nixed
Here we go
Look what the good people done to me
Look what the good people done to me
Look what the good people done to me
Look what the good people done to me
They were havin no fun
Look what the good people done |
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 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
Whoa, thats when you fall
Whoa, whoa, whoa, thats when you fall
Yeah, thats when you fall
When you fall into a trance
A 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 that 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 love that loves the love that loves the love that loves the love that loves to love the love that loves to love the love the gloves
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 backstreet
In the backstreet, in the backstreet
Say goodbye to Madame George
In the backstreet, in the backstreet, in the backstreet
Down home, down home in the backstreet
Gotta go
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Dry your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye your eyes
Say goodbye to Madame George
And the love that loves the love that loves the love that loves to love the love that loves the love to love the love that loves to love
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Ooh, mmm
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
And the loves that loves to love the loves to love the love that loves to love the love that loves to love
Say goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train, get on the train
Get on the train, the train, the train, the train, the train, get on the train
This is the train, this is the train
Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train, get on the train
Leavin, sleepin in the |
I like my coffee in the mornin, crazy bout my tea at night
I like my coffee in the mornin, crazy bout my tea at night
Dont get my sugar three times a day, oh you know I dont feel right
Oh I know my hound dog when I hear him bark
Oh I know my hound dog when I hear him bark
And I know my baby when I feel her in the dark
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby

You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby

All right |
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 came to see me when the moon was new
Saw you standin in the pouring rain
Left my message on the window pain
Back on the street again
Back on the beat again
Im back on the top again
Saw me climbing to the top of the hill
You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill
Learned my lesson and I had my fill
Learnt it all in vain
Went through it all again
Now Im back on the top again
Always strivin, always climbing way beyond my will
Same old sensation, isolation at the top of the bill
Always seeming, like Im moving but Im really going slow
What do you do when you get to the top and theres nowhere to go
Just how I get there will be anybodys guess
With all the so called trappings of success
Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill
Too busy raisin Cain
Im back on the street again
Im back on the top again
Always strivin, always climbing way beyond my will
Its the same old sensation, isolation at the top of the hill
Always seeming, like Im moving but Im really going slow
Youll find out when you get to the top that theres nowhere to go
How you get there will be anybodys guess
With all the so called trappings of success
Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill
Too busy raisin Cain
Im back on the street again
Im back on the top again
Back on my feet again
Im back on the street again
Im back on the top again |
Little gal, little girl, Lord, you know its true
Little gal, little girl, Lord, you know its true

The wine beneath the bed
The things weve done and said
And all the memories that come glancing back to me
In my loneliness
Youre standing in the breach
Beyond that stretch, but our love will reach
Unconsciousness that find me sometimes wondering
Where youre at
Hmm, take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose
The way you pulled the gate
Behind you when you said, It aint too late
Come on, lets have a ball
And swing the town tonight.
And hoping youd come through
And many others, too
And all the friends we used to have in days gone by
Im wondering
If youll take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose
And when the lights went out
And no one was abandoning the country in full bloom
In the room we danced
And many hearts were torn
And when the word went around that everything was wrong
And couldnt be put right
It tore me up, it tore me up
In slumber you did sleep
The window I did creep
And touch your raven hair and sing that song
Again to you
You did not even wince
You thought I was the Prince
To come and take you from your misery
And lonely castle walls
Ah, take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose
Ah ah, ah ah
Mmmj, mmm
Da da da di da da da... |

Isnt it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isnt it bliss?
Dont you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who cant move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when Id stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Dont you love farce?
My fault I fear
I thought that youd want what I want
Sorry, my dear
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns
Dont bother, theyre here
Isnt it rich?
Isnt it queer
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year |
By the side of the tracks where the train goes by
The wind and the rain will catch you, you will sigh
Deep in your heart
Then youll come a-running to me
Youll come a-running to me
Well you watch the train go round the bend
Play in dust and dream that it will never end
Deep in your heart

Hey, yeah, come a-running to me

By my side, come on, come on run
And you kick the sand up with your heels
You think to yourself how good it feels
Put away all your walking shoes
Then you come running to me
Now you come running to me
I said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
You gotta rainbow if you run to me |

Fair play to you
Killarneys lakes are so blue
And the architecture Im taking in
With my mind is so fine
Tell me of Poe
Oscar Wilde and Thoreau
Let your midnight and your daytime
Turn into love of life
Its a very fine line
But youve got the mind child
To carry it on when its just
About to be carried on
And theres only one mellow way to go
And you say Geronimo
And theres only one mellow way to go
And you say Geronimo
A paperback book
As we walk down the street
Fill my mind with tales of mystery
Mystery and imagination
Forever fair
And Im touching your hair
I wish we would be dreamers in this dream
Oh, oh, let it be
And theres only one meadows way to go
And you say Geronimo
And theres only one meadows way to go
And you say Geronimo
Fair play to you
Killarneys lakes are so blue
Hi ho, Silver, tit for tat
And I love you for that
Hi ho, Silver, tit for tat
And I love you for that |
Come back, baby, come back
Feels so all alone
It rained last night
And things aint right
Without my baby home
Every time it rains I think of you
And thats the time I feel so blue
When the rain starts to falling my love comes tumbling down
And its raining teardrops from my eyes
If you see clouds here in my eyes
Its just because you said goodbye
Though the sun is shining no more summer skies
And its raining teardrops from my eyes
Remember the night you told me
Love would always be
Wouldnt be sad and lonely
If youd come back to me
Every single cloud would just disappear
Id wear a smile if you were here
Baby wont you hurry cause I miss you so
And its raining teardrops from my eyes
Well, remember the night you told me
Our love would always be
I wouldnt be blue and lonely
If youd come back to me
Every single cloud would just disappear
Id wear a smile if you were here
So, baby, wont you hurry cause I miss you so
And its raining teardrops from my eyes
Oh, its raining teardrops from my eyes
Oh, baby, teardrops from my eyes |

When I become was and we become were
Will there be any sign or a trace of th lovely contour of your face
And will there be someone around
With essentially my kinda sound
When am turns to was and now is back when
Will someone have moments like this
Moments of unspoken bliss
And will there be heroes and saints
Or just a dark new age of complaints
When I become was and we become were
Will there be any Susans and Ralphs
Lookin at old photographs
And wondering aloud to a friend |
Look here, what you think you gon be doin next year
No lie, how you know you no gon up and die
No doubt, soon enough your friends will find you out
Take care you know you might not have much time to spare
I say, how long have you acted up this way
What know, when you gonna get your own floor show
Im hip, you could use a button on your lip
Look here, what you think you gon be doin next year |
Put on your lipstick, apply your make-up
Sometimes youll be living, living in a dream
And then, then, then you go steppin out queen
Well you go to a party, and you laugh loud and hearty
And you stay all night long, well you know you make the scene
And then you go steppin out queen, steppin out
Its just a windfall, just a windfall away
Its keeps getting stronger everyday
May be you gotta look up and say its a windfall away, alright
Its just a windfall away
Its a love, its a love, its a love keeps getting stronger everyday
And you gotta look out and say its a windfall away, is it the windfall?
Well you go through the drama and you work in the dharma
Then you stand up, stand up and wipe, wipe your mirror clean
As she go steppin out queen, steppin out
Come in the garden and just look at the flowers
We can just sit and talk for hours and hours
Come in the garden and just look at the flowers
We can just sit and talk for hours and hours
Come in the garden and just look at the flowers
We can just sit and talk for hours and hours
Come in the garden and just look at the flowers
Songwriter: Van Morrison |
By the side of the tracks where the train goes by
The wind and the rain will catch you, you will sigh
Deep in your heart
Then youll come a-running to me
Youll come a-running to me
Well you watch the train go round the bend
Play in dust and dream that it will never end
Deep in your heart
Youll come a-running to me
Youll come a-running to me
Said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
Said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
With your hound dog by your side
And your arms stretched out open wide
I wanna keep you satisfied in the morning sun
By my side, come on, come on run
And you kick the sand up with your heels
You think to yourself how good it feels
Put away all your walking shoes
Then you come running to me
Now you come running to me
I said, hey, come a-running to me
Oh, come a-running to me
Hey, yeah, come a-running to me
You gotta rainbow if you run to me |
I had a woman
Livin way back o town
Oh she treated me right
Never let me down
But I wasnt satisfied
I had to run around
Now shes gone and left me
Im worried as can be
Oh Ive searched this world all over
Wonderin where she could be
I would ask that she forgive me
Maybe shell come back to me
Im lonesome an blue
And Ive learned a thing or two
Oh fellas heres a tip
Im gonna pass on down to you
Never mistreat your woman
Cause its gonna bounce right back on you |
I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone
I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone
I gave my love a promise that had no truth
What good is a promise without no truth ?
I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold
I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that i had told
I gave my love a story that had no end
What good is a story thats got no end ? tell me
I wrote her that wed get married in about one years time
I wrote her in a boxcar on the memphis line
I sent my love a letter without no stamp - ha!
And what good is a letter without no stamp ?
Goodbye baby
Im feelin so alone im movin on
I aint got no tall tale
Dont call me - ill call you
See ya |
Well dont you know
How much I love you
Dont you know
How much I care
Its beyond my comprehension
Cos I love you on the square
Its not bound by any definition
It isnt written in the stars
Its not limited like Saturn
Isnt ruled by Mercury or Mars
Oh wont you meet me
In the Indian summer
Where well go walking
Down by the weeping willow tree
Wont you meet me
In the Indian summer
Well go walking to eternity
Its not modelled by convention
It isnt worshipped like the sun
Its not likened unto any other
And it will never come undone
Well dont you know
That my world is so lonely
Just like a freight train in the dawn
Thats why I need to
Have and hold you
Just to keep me from going wrong
Oh wont you meet me
In the Indian summer
Well go walking
By the weeping willow tree
Wont you meet me Lord
In the Indian summer
Well go walking to eternity
Wont you meet me
In the Indian summer
Well before
Those chilly winds do blow
Wont you meet me
In the Indian summer
Take me way back
To what I know
Oh wont you meet me
In the Indian summer
Well go walking
By the weeping willow tree
Oh wont you meet me
In the Indian summer
Well go walking to eternity |
Do you see what they are
Do you hear what they say
People it is sad but true
Theyre dressed really stupid
But they think theyre O.K
And they got no use for you
The dead girls of London
Why do they act that way?
Maybe its the water, mama
Maybe its the tea
Maybe its the way they was raised
Maybe its the stuff what they read in the papers
Keeps them lookin sorta half in a daze
Well the dead girls of London
Why do they act that way?
Were the dead girls of London
We thinks we are fine
We aint hittin on nothin
But the boutique frame of mind
You see em dancing at the disco every night
Like a bunch of little robot queens
Making little noises full of fake delight
But theyre really just so full of beans
The dead girls of London
Why do they act that way?
Were the dead girls of London
We thinks we are fine
We aint hittin on nothin
But the boutique frame of mind
Boutique frame of mind
Gee I like your pants
Boutique frame of mind
Gee I like your pants
Boutique frame of mind
Gee I like your pants |
No way Pedro, no way Jose
I just wanna know, are you goin my way?
Oh, I saw you standin by the borderline
You can never make up your mind
No way Cisco, no way Pancho
Why dont you meet me, back at the rancho?
Well, if you get there, please dont be late
How can I get you now, if I hesitate?
No way Kemosabe, no way Tonto
Come here quick, ya gotta make it pronto
Well, when you head them, off at the pass
Baby, I just want a love to last
No way Pedro, no way Jose
Just wanna know, are you goin my way?
Oh, I saw you standin, by the borderline
I just want you to make up, your goddamned mind
Youll never make up your mind |
Why dont you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?
My hairs still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why dont you love me like you used to do?
Aint had no lovin like a huggin and a kissin
In a long, long while
We dont get nearer, further, closer than a country mile
Why dont you spark me like you used to do?
And say sweet nothins like you used to coo
Im the same old trouble that youve always been through
So why dont you love me like you used to do?
Well, why dont you just be like you used to be?
How come you find so many faults with me?
Somebodys changed so gimme a clue
Why dont you love me like you used to do?
Aint had no lovin like a huggin and a kissin
In a long, long while
We dont get nearer, further, closer than a country mile
Why dont you say the things you used to say?
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay?
My hairs still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why dont you love me like you used to do?
Why dont you love me like you used to do?
Why dont you love me like you used to do? |

We talked about the birdies
That fly up in the trees
We talked about the moon
And the stars we couldnt see
But you keep on pretending
You dont know whats wrong with me
Come on, lets talk, about us
We talked about the good times
That made us laugh and sigh
We talked about the bad times
That brought tears to our eyes
Now, I think its about time
For you to realize
Come on, lets talk, about us
Dear, I swear Ill love you, til the very end
But I dont plan on stickin around
If its just to be your friend
Weve talked, an talked, an talked, an talked
But theres been nothin said
The things that youve been talkin about
Just dont stick to my head
Sometimes I think, little girl
That your heart is filled with lead
Come on, lets talk, about us
Well, dear I swear Ill love you
Oh, til the very end
Well, I dont plan on stickin around
If its just to be your friend
Weve talked, an talked, an talked, an talked
And theres been nothin said
The thing that youve been talkin about
Just dont stick to my head
My darlin little girl
I think that your heart is made of lead
Come on, lets talk, about us
Come on, lets talk, about us
Well, well, well, well, well |

Out on the highways and the by-ways all alone
Im still searching for, searching for my home
Up in the morning, up in the morning out on the road
And my head is aching and my hands are cold
And Im looking for the silver lining
Silver lining in the clouds and Im searching for
And Im searching for the philosophers stone
And its a hard road, its a hard road daddy-o
When my job is turning lead into gold
He was born in the back street
Born in the back street Jelly Roll
Im on the road again and Im searching for
The philosophers stone
Can you hear that engine?
Woe, can you hear that engine drone?
Well, Im on the road again and Im searching for
Searching for the philosophers stone
Up in the morning, up in the morning
When the streets are white with snow
Its a hard road, its a hard road daddy-o
Up in the morning, up in the morning
Out on the job, well, youve got me searching for
Searching for, the philosophers stone
Even my best friends
Even my best friends they dont know
That my job is turning lead into gold
When you hear that engine
When you hear that engine drone
Im on the road again and Im searching for
The philosophers stone
Its a hard road, even my best friends they dont know |
Sometimes we know, sometimes we dont
Sometimes we give, sometimes we wont
Sometimes were strong, sometimes were wrong
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes its bad when the going gets tough
When we look in the mirror and we want to give up
Sometimes we dont even think well try
Sometimes we cry
Well were gonna have to sit down and think it right through
If were only human what more can we do?
The only thing to do is eat humble pie
Sometimes we cry
Fore they put me in a jacket and they take me away
Im not gonna fake it like Johnnie Ray
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we cant see anything straight
Sometimes everybody is on the make
Sometimes its lonely on the lost highway
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry
Gonna put me in a jacket, and take me away
Im not gonna fake it like Johnnie Ray
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry |

Youre riding high in April
Shot down in May
I know Ive got to change my tune
When I get back up on top in June
Thats life
Funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks from
Stepping on a dream
I dont let it get me down, no, no, no
This big old world keeps spinning round
Ive been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
Ive been up, down, over and out
And I know one thing
Every time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
Thats life
I cant deny it
I thought of quitting
But my heart wouldnt buy it
If I dont think its worth a try
Im gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Ive been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king

Oh, I just cant deny it
I thought of quitting
But my, my heart wouldnt buy it, no, no, no
If I dont think everything is worth a try
Im gonna roll myself up in a big ball
Roll myself up in a big ball
Roll myself up in a big ball and

You kiss my eyes
In the still of the night
And mornin brings forth
All its wonderous delight
You couldnt have said it more plain
Were doin it over again
When I hear you gently sigh
I dont wanna to stop
Flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly
I follow the road
That will take me back home
And carry that load
Where the dear angel roam
And happiness touches me now
Who knows where it came from or how
When I hear you softly sigh
I dont wanna stop
Flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky

Silently waitin
For the light to shine
Lookin at you lookin at me, ah lookin at you
Anticipatin
Each and every sign
Im lookin at you lookin at me lookin at you
You lie in the dark
With the sweet nightingale
And listen for a lark
And I will tell you a tale
Soft winds blowin outside
No need to go for a ride
When I hear you softly sigh
I dont wanna stop
Flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingos fly, flamingos fly

Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin down
Me and Billy standin there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of fishin rods
And tackles on our back
We just stood there gettin wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
I hope it dont rain all day
And it stoned me to my soul, whoa whoa
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
Stoned me
Stoned to my soul, oh whoa
Stoned me just like comin home
Stoned me
And the rain let up and the sun come up
And we were gettin dry
Almost glad a pick-up truck nearly passed us by
Well we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
Now, we looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention fishin poles
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
But itll rain all over me
And it stoned me to my soul, oh oh
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
Stoned me
Stoned me to my soul, whoa oh
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
Stoned me |

My message this evenin
Is simple indeed
Wherever you wander
Whatever your breed
Theres just one thing baby
That comes from above
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
When livin gets heavy
And hope starts to fade
You just cant continue
That old masquerade
Remember the power that comes from above
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love |
Well, well, I loved you like I never loved before

Do you remember you created quite a scene
When you were walkin down by the village green?
When you were only, when you were only
When you were only, when you were only
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen
Standin on the corner and you came walkin by

Do you remember how I took you by your hand?
Do you remember in a sunny summer land?
When you were only, when you were only
When you were only, when you were only
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen
And your eyes shine like diamonds
And they sparkle in the night
And the kind of love that you give me
Seems to light up all of my life
And then, and then, and then I told you that wed never ever part
And then, and then, and then I hold you a little closer to my heart
Do you remember, our stars were shinin bright?
Do you remember, it was on a magic night?
When you were only, when you were only
When you were only, when you were only
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen, how I really loved you
Sweet sixteen, baby, how I loved you |

Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines
And who said follow the man its your only chance
Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own
And who said
Look at you, look at you
You got jam on your face and
Who did your homework and read your Bible
And signed your name everyplace and
Who said fortunes untold dont go by gold
Youre much better known
You got to make it on your own, on your own
And do you remember, do you remember
I said a long time ago when I came walkin down
I came walkin down
Maggies place
It started comin on rain
It started comin on rain
Cause I had nothin on but a shirt
And a pair of pants
And I was gettin wet
And I was gettin wet
Saturated, saturated
And Maggie opened up the window
And Jane swung out her right arm
She said, Hi! I said, Hi! ya
Howre your doin baby
She said, Come on in out of the rain
Come on in out of the rain, Lord
Come on in out of the rain
Sit down by the fireside
Dry yourself
Do, do it
I got caught
I got caught
In a bag |

Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro Rosy
Youre the apple of my eye
Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie
Shes just sixteen and shes not yet grown
She never goes out on her own
She lives way up on the Avenue of Trees
Where I chanced to walk in the cool night breeze
And I, I see her face, her smile, her hair
I cry, Oh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh
Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro Rosy
Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro Rosy
Youre the apple of my eye
Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie

She said, I love you, babe

Do you, do you really love me?

Foghorns blowing in the night
Salt sea air in the morning breeze
Driving cars all along the coastline
This must be what its all about
Oh this must be what its all about
This must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
The warm look of radiance on your face
And your heart beating close to mine
And the evening fading in the candle glow
This must be what its all about
Oh this must be what its all about
This must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here. so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, yeah, so peaceful in here
All my struggling in the world
And so many dreams that dont come true
Step back, put it all away
It dont matter, it dont matter anymore
Oh this must be what paradise is like
This must be what paradise is like
Its so quiet in here, so peaceful in here
Its so quiet in here, so peaceful in here
A glass of wine with some friends
Talking into the wee hours of the dawn
Sit back and relax your mind
This must be, this must be, what its all about
This must be what paradise is like
Oh this must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
Big ships out in the night
And were floating across the waves
Sailing for some other shore
Where we can be what we want to be
Oh this must be what paradise is like
This must be what paradise is like
Baby its so quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, you can hear, its so quiet |
See youve got the new biography
Where did they get the info from?
Same as before some so called friends
Who claim to have known me then
How come theyve got such good memories
When I cant even remember last week
Got to question where theyre coming from
What knowledge of they speak?
So far away, way back when
The people that claim to have known me then
Down not on my wavelength and its such a shame
That they have to play the name game
The fame game, oh, the name game
Lord, its a cryin shame
Lord, tell me whats to blame?
Reinvented all the stories they know
Give them all a different slant
What is it that theyre really looking for?
Just a hobby on the Internet
So far away, way back when
The people that claim to have known me then
Not on my wavelength and its such a shame
That they have to play the name game
The fame game, oh, the name game
Oh, such a cryin shame
Please tell me whos to blame?
If they didnt really know me way back
How can they know me now in any respect
Its a pity, they dont feel the pain
That they should pay the price to play, to play
The fame game, oh, the name game
Its such a cryin shame
Please tell me whos to blame?
Not on my wavelength and its such a shame
That they have to play
Have to play the fame game
Oh, the name game
Its a cryin shame
Please tell me whos to blame?
They keep on playin
The fame game, Lord, the name game
Its such a cryin shame
Please tell me whos to blame?
Keep on playin the fame game
Lord, the name game
Its such a cryin shame
Please tell me whos to blame?
They just keep on playin the fame game
Oh, the name game
Its such a cryin shame
Please tell me whos to blame?
Keep on, keep on playin |

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

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
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?

Always feels too extreme
Too much trouble in my dream
When I go to work, well it just aint right
Feels like everythings a fight
Feels like its too uptight
Too much trouble in my life
If I could just get some real good rest

When I go to work, it just aint right
Feels like everythings a fight
Try not to get too uptight
Stop this trouble in my mind
When I go to sleep, I just cant get it
Wake up in the morning, Im just not with it
Stop this when I give the sign
Too much trouble in my mind
If I could just get some real good rest
Might be able to do my best
Straighten up and fly right
Stop this trouble in my life
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Stop this trouble in my life |

And when he comes to me thats where I belong
And Im running to him like a rivers song
He gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord
And no matter where I roam
I will find my way back home
I will always return to the Lord
In the gentle evening breeze
By the whispering shady trees
I will find my sanctuary in the Lord
I was headed for a fall
The I looked up and saw the writing on the wall
Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord
I was headed for a fall
The I looked up and saw the writing on the wall
In the gentle evening breeze
By the whispering shady trees
I will find my sanctuary in the Lord
And no matter where I roam
I will find my way back home
I will always return to the Lord
Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
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

And it comes from sky above
Makes me feel so free
Makes me feel like me again
And lights my life with love
And it seems like

Oh yes, it feels like
A brand new day
Yeah, yeah, oh-ah
I was lost, double-crossed
With my hands behind my back
I was long-time hurt and thrown in the dirt
Shoved out on a railroad track
Ive been used, abused and so confused
And I didnt have nowhere to run
But I stood and looked
And my eyes got hooked
On the beautiful morning sun
And it seems like
And it feels like
And it seems like
Oh yes, it feels like
A brand new day
Yeah, oh yeah
And it seems like
And it feels like

The wine beneath the bed
The things weve done and said
And all the memries
That come glancing back to me
In my loneliness
Youre standing in the bridge
Beyond that stretch but our love reach
An consciousness has found me sometimes wondering
Where youre at
Umm, take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose
The way ya pulled the gate
Behind you when you said, It aint too late
Come on, lets swing the town and have a
Ball tonight
Yeah, hopin youd come through
And many others, too
And all the friends we used to have in days gone by
Im wondering
If youll take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose
And when the lights went out there
No one was about
An all the country in full bloom
In the room we danced
And many hearts were torn
And when the word went round
That evrything was wrong
And just couldnt be put right, it
Tore me up, it tore me up, Lord
The way you held a note
The trembling in your throat
That just beginning of your
Wondrous smile
The rising of the water
The winter winds of days gone by
I often ask myself and wonder why
Its gone
Uhm, take me back again
Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose
In slumber you did sleep
The window I did creep
And touch your raven hair
And sang that song
Again to you
You did not even wince
You thought I was the Prince
To come and take you from your misery
And lonely castle wall
Uhm, take me back again
A take me back one more time, Spanish Rose |
Look at the ivy on the old clingin wall
Look at the flowers and the green grass so tall
Its not a matter of when push comes to shove
Its just the hour on the wings of a dove
Thats just warm love
Its just warm love
You dig it when Im fancy dressed up in lace
I dig it when you have a smile on your face
This inspirations got to be on the flow
These invitations got to see it and know
Its just warm love
Its just warm love
And its everpresent everywhere
And its everpresent everywhere
That warm love
And its everpresent everywhere
And its everpresent everywhere
That warm love
To the country Im goin
Lay and laugh in the sun
You can bring your guitar along
Well sing some songs and have some fun
The sky is cryin and its time to go home
And we shall hurry to the car from the foam
Sit by the fire and dry out our wet clothes
Outside its rainin from the sky up above
Inside its warm love
Inside its warm love
And its everpresent everywhere
And its everpresent everywhere
That warm love
And its everpresent everywhere
And its everpresent everywhere
That warm love
And its everpresent everywhere
And its everpresent everywhere
That warm love
And its everpresent everywhere
And its everpresent everywhere
That warm love
And its everpresent everywhere
And its everpresent everywhere
That warm love
And its everpresent everywhere
And its everpresent everywhere
That warm love |
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Manys the road I have walked upon
Manys the hour between dusk and dawn
Manys the time
Manys the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin about a change
Change, change, change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
Im gonna walk down the street

Pastels in a shade of blue
Turn into a brighter hue
In the mornin, in the mornin
Train wheels runnin down an open track
In my memry, time to take me back
Are you goin, are you goin?
Santa Fe
Do you need it? Can you feel it
In the same old way?
I can feel it from the mountain top
Runnin down to the foamy brine
In a restrant cross a table top
Lookin into a glass of wine
In the night I hear you callin
And Im thinkin of you, darlin
Ships out on a stormy sea
Promises for you and me
Can you hear them and get near them?
Shiverin in the evenin breeze
Green leaves listnin, eucalyptus trees
And its movin, yes, its movin
To Santa Fe
Do you need it? Can you feel it
In the same old way?
I can feel it from the mountain top
Runnin down to the foamy brine
In a restrant cross a table top
Lookin into a glass of wine
Oh, Santa Fe
Do you need it? Can you feel it
In the same old way?
I can feel it when it all goes down
Look around, yes, its happenin
Turn around and see what I have found
And its more than a song to sing
And its more than a song to sing
Hey, its more than a song to sing
And its more, more, more than a song to sing
Yes, its more, more, more than a song to sing
Oh, its more, more, more than a song to sing
Santa Fe now
Santa Fe now
Santa Fe now |
All that trouble all that grief
Thats why I had to leave
Staying away too tong is in defeat
Why Im singing this song
Why Im heading back home
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat
Im just like a hobo riding a train
Im like a gangster living in Spain
Have to watch my back and Im running out of time
When I roll the dice again
If lady luck will call my name
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat
Well thats what makes it beat
When Im standing on the street
And Im standing underneath this Wrigleys sign
Oh so far away from home
But I know Ive got to roam
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat
And it was off to foreign climes
On the Piccadilly line
We were standing underneath the Wrigleys sign
So far away from home
Well I know Ive got to roam
That s what makes the Irish heart beat
Just like a sailor out on the foam
Any port in a storm
Where we tend to burn the candle at both ends
Down the corridors of fame
Like the spark ignites the flame
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat
But I roll the dice again
If lady luck will call my name
That s what makes the Irish heart beat
Oh, thats what makes the Irish heart beat
Thats what makes the Irish heart beat |
On a gold Autumn day
You came my way in Orangefield
Saw you standing by the river in Orangefield
How I love you then, in Orangefield
Like I love you now, in Orangefield
And the sun shone on your hair
When I saw you there, in Orangefield
Saw you standing by the river, in Orangefield
How I loved you then in Orangefield
Like I love you now in Orangefield
And the sun shone so bright
And it lit up all our days
You were the apple of my eye
Baby, its true
On a golden Autumn day
All my dreams came true in Orangefield
On a throne of Ulster day
You came my way in Orangefield
How I loved you then, in Orangefield
Like I love you now, in Orangefield
And the sun shone so bright
And it lit up all our lives
You were the apple of my eye
Baby, was you
On a throne of Ulster day
You came my way in Orangefield
Saw you standing by the river in Orangefield
How I loved you then, in Orangefield
Like I love you now, in Orangefield
How I loved you then, in Orangefield
Like I love you now, in Orangefield |

Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time?
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines?
And who said, Follow the mind, its your only chance
Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own?
And who said, Ha, ha, look at you, look at you
You got jam on your face.
And who did your homework and read your Bible
And signed your name every place?
And who said, Fortunes untold lie, dont go by gold
Youre much better known, you got to make it on your own
On your own. Ah, ah, uh-huh
And do you remember, do you remember this time
I said a long time ago when I came walkin down
I came walkin down, ha, by Maggies place, ha ha ha
It started comin on rain, huh, it started comin on rain
Cause I had nothing on but a shirt and a pair of pants
And I was getting wet, I was getting wet, saturated, saturated, baby
And Maggie opened up the window and Jane swung out her right arm
She said, Hi! I said. Hi, howre you doing, baby?
She said, Come on in out the rain, come on in out the rain
Lord, come on in out the rain, sit down by the fireside
And dry yourself. Achoo, do it, do it, a-ha ha ha, I got caught
I got caught An I got, got a bag, got a bag, baby, oh Lord
I said, I dont mind if I do, I dont mind if I do. Ha, aah...
Haa, its a bag
I mean, huh, you know you gotta
You know, you sort-a turn it upside down
Somethin like, put it on a rack
Fold it n, press it n
Call it a record or somethin like that goin
You guys have got a sure thing... |

Tell me the story now, now that its over
Wrap it in glory for one Irish Rover
Tell me youre wiser now, tell me youre older
Wrap it in glory for one Irish Rover
I can tell by the light in your eye
That youre, youre so far away
Like a ship out on the sea
Without a sail youve gone astray
Tell me the facts real straight, dont make me over
Wrap it in glory for one Irish Rover
Tell me youll see the light, tell me youll know me
Make it come out alright and wrap it in glory for one Irish Rover
For one Irish Rover
For one Irish Rover
For one Irish Rover

You say the world is mad
You say that youve been had
You dont like your part in the floor show
You say its all a bust
Theres no one you can trust
Well, tell me something that I dont know
You say the worlds a mess
Its anybodys guess
As to who will deliver that low blow
You suffer from the strain
You dont dig pain
Well, tell me something that I dont know
You say theres some mistake
You didnt get your break
You dont see the magic in the moonglow
Youre on a one way street
Your life is incomplete
Well, tell me something that I dont know
Youre uptight
It aint right
Well, tell me something that I dont know |
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 |
When I was a young boy back in Orangefield
Used to look out my classroom window and dream
And go home and listen to Ray sing
I Believed In My Soul after school
Ah, that love that was within me
You know it carried me through
Well it lifted me up, itd filled me
Meditation contemplation too
Got to go back, weve got to go back
Got to go back, got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming
All these people in the street
And the summers almost here
Got to go outside in the fresh air
And walk while its still clear
Breathe it in all the way down
To your stomach too
And breathe it out with a radiance
Into the night time air
Got to go back, weve got to go back
Got to go back, have you got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming
Got my ticket at the airport
Well I guess Ive been marking time
Ive been living in another country
That operates along entirely different lines
Keep me away from porter or whiskey
Dont play anything sentimental, itll make me cry
Got to go now my friend
Is there really any need to ask why
I guess weve got to go back
Got to go back, people Ive got to go back
Well weve got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming
Ah, weve got to go back
Baby we got to go back people, got to go back
Got to go back
For the healing go on with the dreaming, with the dreaming
With the dreaming, with the dreaming, with the dreaming
With the dreaming, |
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
Because my mind Im still gone
In a day that has passed and gone
Every time I see a woman
And folks she make me think of mine, think of mine
Every time I see a woman, see a woman
And folks she make me think of mine
And thats why, thats why
And folks I just cant keep from cryin
It serves me right to suffer
It serves mе right to be alone
It servеs me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
Now Im living in the memory
Of a woman that has passed and gone
My doctor put me on
Milk, cream and alcohol
My doctor put me on, put me on
Milk, cream and alcohol
Said, Johnny your nerves is so bad, so bad, Johnny
Until you just cant sleep at night
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone

By the mansion on the hillside
Red sports car comes driving down the road
And pulls up into the driveway
And a story does unfold
Shes standing by the rhododendrons
Where the roses are in bloom
Looking out at the Atlantic ocean
And in her head, she hums this tune
Thank God, the dark nights are drawing in again
Cos high summer has got me down
Can we wait till the end of August
And get off this merry-go-round
And they shut him out of paradise
Called him Lucifer and frowned
She took pride in what God made him
Even before the angels shot him down to the ground
Hes a light out of the darkness
And he wears a starry crown
If you see him, nothing will shake him
Cos high summers got him low down
High summers got him lonesome
Even when he makes the rounds, makes the rounds
Theres been no two ways about it
High summers got him low down
Checked in to the tiny village by the lakeside
Settled down to start anew
Far away from the politicians
And the many chosen few
Far away from the jealousy factor
And everything that was tearing him apart
Far away from the organ grinder
And everyone that played their part
And they shut him out of paradise
Called him Lucifer and frowned
Cos he took pride in what God made him
Even before the angels shot him to the ground
Hes a light out of the darkness
And he wears a starry crown
If you see him, nothing is shaken
Cos high summers got him low down
High summer on the rebound
High summer got him low down
High summer on the rebound
High summers got him low down
High summer on the rebound
High summers got him low down |
Little village, baby
Aint large enough to be a town
From a little village, baby
Aint large enough to be a town
You gotta get away from the city
Its gonna bring you down
Heard the voice of the silence
In the evening, in the long cool summer nights
Heard the voice of the silence
In the evening, in the long cool summer nights
Telling me not to worry
Everythings gonna be all right
Theres only two kinds of truth
Baby, lets get it straight from the start
Theres only two kinds of truth
Lets get it straight from the start
Its all what you believe
Baby, in your head and your heart
Heard the bells ringing
Voices singing soft and low
Heard the bells ringing
Voices are singing soft and low
Way up in the mountain
Little village in the snow
Raining in the forest
Just enough to magnetize the leaves
Raining in the forest
Just enough to magnetize the leaves
Well go walking baby
With the moonlight shining down through the trees
Little village, way up on the mountainside
Little village baby, way up on the mountainside
Far across the ocean with you and by my side |
The coolness of the riverbank
And the whispering of the reeds
Daybreak is not so very far away
Enchanted and spellbound
In the silence they lingered
And rowed the boat
As the light grew steadily strong
And the birds were silent
As they listened for the heavenly music
And the river played the song
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The song dream happened and the cloven hoofed piper
Played in that holy ground
Where they felt the awe and wonder
And they all were unafraid of the great God pan
And the wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
When the vision vanished
They heard a choir of birds singing
In the heavenly silence, between the trance and the reeds
And they stood upon the lawn and listened to the silence
Of the wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
Its the wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn |
