A Taste Of Honey (Scott - Marlow)

A taste of honey...... Tasting much sweeter than wine

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
And lingers still, though we’re far apart
A taste of honey . . . (honey, honey)
Tasting much sweeter..

I dream of your first kiss, and then
I feel upon your lips and then
A taste of honey . . .(honey, honey)
Tasting much sweeter

I will return, yes, I will return
I’ll come back for the honey

Break

I will return, yes, I will return
I’ll come back for the honey and you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you

After The Fox (Bacharach)

Who is the fox - I am the fox
Who are you  - I am me
Who is me - Me is a thief
You'll bring your poor, poor mother grief

So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox

Where is the gold  - It's on the truck
Where's the truck - I won't tell
You must tell - Then I will lie
You'll make your poor, poor sister cry

So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox

Why do you steal - So I'll be rich
Why not work - Work is hard
You'll be caught - I never fail
All little crooks wind up in jail - Not me not me

So after the fox, after the fox
Off to the hunt with chains and locks
So after the fox, after the fox
Someone is always chasing after the fox

After the fox

After the fox

After the fox

Ain't That Just Like Me (Carroll / Guy)

Mary had a little lamb
His fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
the lamb was sure to go

Now ain't that just like me
well you know cracking up over you
you know that I love you (yeah)
love you (yeah)
Won't you come along there too

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put him back again

chorus

Hey diddle-diddle the cat had a fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun
and the dish ran away with the spoon

chorus

verse 3

It's all right now
Won't you come along there too
We're shaking now
Won't you come along there too
Come on baby

All The World Is Love (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

In my secluded state my mind
Valued things are hard to find
My mind's gone I know not where
left without a care

When my thoughts are taking flight
pen them down on sheets of white
Building castles in the air
left without a care

In a crowded room alone that's where you'll find me
I have left my mind somewhere floating behind me

Blue skies white clouds to be seen
wish my mind could be as clean
As the clouds that swim above
all the world is love

chorus

Bubbles forming all around
Left my body on the ground
Unattached too hard to move
All the world is love
All the world is love
All the world is love

Baby Come Back  (Copp / Harders / Appleyard)

There are times when I envision I could almost be like you
And I love your disposition everyday there's something new
And I always find you playing where I never venture to

All these things drive me crazy
And I love you when you're mad
Now it seems you've gone away now
Are you lost or coming back

Baby come back
know that it's wrong
Baby come back
Shouldn't be alone
Baby come back
Baby come back

There are times no words are spoken still I know just what you meant
Cause my heart is always open to your every sentiment
And the urgency to see you has my mind a little bent

verse 2

chorus

See how she runs
Life can be rough when you need a little love
Ain't it good to have a place called home
If there's not what you need but you need some room to breathe
Now you shouldn't go so far
'Cause there's room here in my heart

verse 2

Assorted lyrics:
{My baby's a cat baby's a cat
Listen to me I miss you so
Run run it's everybody's fun
Run run run she runs away
Baby come back}

Baby That's All (Chester Mann)

The night turns to dawn
You're there by my side
You showed your love
Baby, that's all
Baby, that's all

You're all that I want
For my love you were made
Please say to me

Say you love me come on home now
Tell me that you're mine
Keep me for your own now
And I will love you all the time

And I will love you all the time...........

The night turns to dawn
You're there by my side
You showed your love
Baby, that's all
Baby, that's all
Baby, that's all

Bus Stop (G. Gouldman)

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

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

C'mon (Clarke / Hicks / Sylvester)

Tell me tell me how I'm doing tonight
I could take this forever
The more I get the better all right
C'mon and spoil me
Let me be the apple of your eye
I could take this forever
The more I get the better all right

This ain't my first time but
it's never been like this before
Can this be magic
I can't keep my feet on the floor

Love c'mon and cast your spell on me
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
Love c'mon and cast your spell on me

Carrie (Miles / Marshall)

One cold and sad affair
take my heart and leave it there
I'm gonna feel this way forever
Never thought that I'd be free
Now your faith is changing me
Carrie Carrie

Now only time will tell
It's a dream I know so well
You always try so hard to please me
Only thing I know for sure
I couldn't love you anymore
Carrie Carrie

Waited so long no one to share (why did you keep me waiting)
Could you belong to someone
Show you care I'll be there
Carrie is it more than a dream this time (more than a dream)
Carrie can I tell everyone you're mine (tell them you're mine)
I will never be the same
And now you made me live again
Carrie is it more than a dream this time
Carrie is it more than a dream this time

My heart is open wide
You know how I feel inside
You see my sad old days are over
Never need to hide away
Gettin' stronger everyday Carrie Carrie

chorus

Carrie can I tell everyone your mine (tell them you're mine)
Carrie is it more than a dream this time ( more than a dream)

Carrie Anne  (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

Hey Carrie Anne, hey Carrie Anne

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

Carrie Anne

Come On Back (Ransford)

Been so long since I last saw you
Come on back Come on back
I'm just feeling lost without you
Come on back Come on back
Because you never, you never, you never held me tight
You didn't, you didn't treat me right

Why don't you admit you love me
and come on back come on back
Say you're always thinking of me
Come on back Come on back
Because you never, you never, you never held me tight
You didn't, you didn't treat me right

It's not so very hard (It's not so very hard)
to make me feel this way (to make me feel this way)
It's not so very hard (I just can't)
Can't find the words, the words to say
Can't find the words, the words to say

repeat

verse 1

Come on back!

Corrine (Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)

Corrine Corrine is calling you to be by her side
Once seen never forgotten it is your island of dreams

Grab my -- are flowing
Take a sip and you're on your way
Buy my fruits sweet black mama is calling
Mangos and guavas cut fresh today

chorus

See below another world calling
Choral castle built by the tide
Go below and swim through the forest
Watch the horses nobody rides

chorus

And on the island the island girls who don't pass by
And on the island the island girls are not too shy

Every night a good moon a-rising
magic lanterns lighting the way
to a party down by the water
Calypso music all 'round the bay

chorus x3

'Cos You Like To Love Me (Hicks)

I feel that's something's right
You don't like holding me tight
What's wrong with me
I don't know
Maybe it's time I should go

But just as I get to the door
You look at me and say no
Come and be good to me
come and make love to me
Stay Stay

'Cos you like to love me
And just me and nobody else
And I like to love you
And just you and nobody else

We should get out more I know
But we're just too lazy to go
What's outside that's not in here
Nothing's so good that's so near

Crossfire (Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)

The judge he put me down for life because I was a stone
They never got the money back because I never told
Well half of twenty five went by before they set me free
I know the game I know they play it they're gonna follow me

Newspaper men crawl around with me say they want the storyline
but I ain't gonna tell to them why I served the time
I know the boys are waiting in the cafe across the way
They wanna know where the money Where it is it's gonna stay

Oh caught in the middle of a crossfire
Gun on my left gun on my right Crossfire

Well I ain't going nowhere 'cos I kinda like this place
Until the heat cools down ain't gonna show my face
I tried to get some sleep someone's ringing on the phone
Why can't they all just go away and leave me alone

chorus

Just when I think I'm verging on the brink of freedom
someone from the past turns to me and asks
'Are you going somewhere If so then lead on'

I don't pay no rent it's on the house I still got friends I found
They'll all be on my good books when the time it comes around
Till then I'll sit here patiently and bide my time each day
and when I'm free and flying that'll be the time to pay

chorus

Crossfire

Dandelion Wine (Hicks)

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through

Do I love you
You can bet your life that I do-do-do
Do I love you
I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
It's all down to on you
I've been this way everyday
thinking of you

chorus x2

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do

Do The Best You Can (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

When you come across
The guy who thinks he's boss
Yet never knows the reason why
He won't let you pass
Won't answer things you ask
He's got his orders do or die

Someone said to me
If you tip the doorman heavily
His doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can

Please be kind to those
Who fail to comprehend
And in time who knows
You'll maybe make a friend

If you leave your car
And you're not going far
Remember what time to be back
If it slips your mind
I'm sure in time you'll find
A Rita waiting in a mac

chorus

Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Do the best you can

Don't Run And Hide (L. Ransford)

Don't run and hide from the people
Don't run and hide from them all
Don't run and hide now, 'cause you're only hurting yourself

Ask me why and I'll tell you things that you never heard now
'Bout yourself what they're saying, I know that it will hurt you
Please fight back, it's important how you accept their lies now
If you run, you condemn yourself and they'll realize now

Then you'll be hurtin' me
'Cause I'm left on my own and I've got them to face

Don't run and hide from the people
Don't run and hide from them all
Don't run and hide now, 'cause you're only hurting yourself

Break

Stay with me you'll convince them all that it isn't true now
Be with me and we'll prove just how strong our love can be now
Please fight back, it's important how you accept their lies now
If you run, you condemn yourself and they'll realize now

Then you'll be hurtin' me
'Cause I'm left on my own and I've got them to face

Don't run and hide from the people
Don't run and hide from them all
Don't run and hide now, 'cause you're only hurting yourself

Don't run and hide from the people (don't run and hide)
Don't run and hide from the people (don't run and hide)
Don't run and hide from the people (don't run and hide)
Don't run and hide from the people (don't run and hide)

Eleanor's Castle (Clarke)

Eleanor's castle boy what a hassle
Why did you have to build your walls so high
I'd put my arms around you
but a moat surrounds you
The only way's to let your drawbridge down

Nights without number
I'm without slumber
thinking of ways to breach your turrets tall
You're an iron lady
and someday maybe
you'll forget bar the iron door

Man was made to conquer
so the story goes
I wish I knew who said it
he could help me 'cause he knows
This situation getting way out of line
I can't win if you won't let me in
Ain't it a sin (It's a sin she won't let him in)

Shielded from my advances
there's very few chances
I'm a one-man crusade fighting in vain

Rack my brain for ideas
but it appears
compared to you dragons are easily slain

Everything Is Sunshine (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

I keep on thinkin about the things that make me cry
I keep on thinkin about the things that make me die
but everythin is sunshine when you hold my hand

If everybody knew you the way I do
people wouldn't wear frowns the way they do
'Cos everything is sunshine when you hold my hand

Oh no how could it be
You effect me
Just by holding my hand
by holding my hand

(repeat)

verse 2

If everybody knew you the way I do
people wouldn't wear frowns the way they do
'Cos everything is sunshine
Everything is sunshine
Everything is sunshine

Find Me A Family  (Clarke / Benson)

I take my life one day at a time
So many dreams that come and go in my mind
Is this a new beginning a time when fools are winning
Everybody needs something to believe

The world we see is changing so fast
No guarantees how long does a feeling last
One look can tell a story
My future's waiting for me
Let it be with you make it all come true

And find me a family
Somewhere to go where I can belong
That special place that I can call my home
You know I'm gonna find it someday
Please let me stay
Find me a family
I gotta know that somebody cares
I need a chance I got so much to give
If you can find me a family
Find me a family

I live and hope and whisper a prayer
when I come home that you will be waiting there
It's just a breath away and all you have to say
is stay with me tonight
You know it sounds so right

chorus

Find me a family x6

For What It's Worth I'm Sorry  (Clarke / Benson)

Hope you don't mind
but I changed my point of view
'Cos now I've found someone new
I thought that you knew that I need time to think
so I can see my way clear

Hope you don't mind
'cos I got it all confused
Don't think that you've been used
It's just today that I don't feel so sure
of wanting more

For what it's worth I'm sorry
For what it's worth I still can see the light of day
I still wake up in the night
Don't know if I'm wrong are you right

For what it's worth I'm sorry
For what it's worth I never meant to lead you on
And if I'm wrong I'm sorry
Maybe it was meant to be this way

Hope you don't mind
but I got no confidence
Forever now don't make no sense
I'd try again but it would be pretend
So it's the end

chorus x2

verse 3

Gasoline Alley Bred (R. Cook - A. Greenaway - T. Macaulay)

I know that we could have made it
We had ideas in our heads
And I wish somehow we could have saved it
But we're Gasoline Alley bred
Yet the years haven't really been wasted
And I know it in my head
We did good for the life that we've tasted
'Cause we're Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley bred

Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred
Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred
Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred
Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother  (B. Scott - B. Russell)

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go

His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Hello Lady Goodbye  (Hicks / Clarke / Sylvester)

I woke up in the morning
Heard a mockingbird sing
Was he laughing at me
I went to the basin washed the sleep out my eyes
So I could see

A note on the bed close to where my lover should be
She slipped away in the night
The writing was shaky and with tears on the sheets
I'm sorry we had a fight

So farewell sweet lover farewell
I'm sorry we never said goodbye
So farewell sweet lover farewell
Left with a tear in your eye

Must've been brewing for a very long time
In the wardrobe the hangers are bare
Don't know how you did it it must've been planned
You even took your favourite chair

So goodbye my lady goodbye
You won't find no tear in my eye
So goodbye my lady goodbye
Going out tonight to get high

Found myself at Charlies scene
Drinking all fashions
sticky painted movie queen
Winked her eye at me
That's how it happened
Diamond shoes satin dress
flashin' flashin' flashin' flashin'

Woke up in the morning heard my mockingbird sing
And it was singin' for me
The lady I met last night's here by my side
She's good company

Well hello sweet lady hello
Good morning with a smile
Well hello sweet lady hello
This lady's gonna make it alright
This lady's gonna make it alright
This lady's gonna make it alright

Lady lady
This lady's gonna make it alright x4

Here In My Dreams  (Arnesen / Horton-Jennings)

Starlight on my face
Moonbright on the ground
Fill this empty space
Rest the travel-bound

After weary days
Lady Luck please smile
show the many ways
We can go where wishes go
Let's chase the shadow-child

Here in my dreams
love is warm love is golden
causing me to believe
I have touched I have seen

Sunshine of the night
dance on crystal streams
All the things that wishes bring
are living in my dreams

Hillsborough  (Hicks / Clarke)

It all felt so right on the first time that I saw you
I opened my eyes and I knew I needed more of you
You walked out that room there was no way to deny you
I felt myself shake the last time that I saw you

Why must it take such hurt and pain
Who are the ones who guilt and shame
Will they stand tall and take the blame

Why must it take such hurt and pain
We share the guilt we're all the same
Who really cares who takes the blame

Go on your way little angel
They'll be friends who greet you down the line
Go on your way little angels
You'll be fine you'll be fine

Honey And Wine (Goffin / King)

My daddy used to tell me
when I was under his wing
if you want to live a good life
just remember one thing
Though the world that we live in
can be so unkind
if you love a good woman
it's all honey and wine

I thought my daddy was wrong
Girl I was so lonely
until you came along
You began with the holding
Yeah the kissing was fine
All that was ready for the tasting
was the honey and wine

It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
If you love a good woman
it's all honey and wine

chorus

It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
It's all honey and wine

It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
If you love a good woman it's all honey and wine

I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top  (Fletcher / Flett)

And every time I get to thinking
With every thought of you
I wanna shout aloud
And then I think about
The love I had inside me
And how you brought what's inside out

So now love's made it to the outside
I wanna to tell the world
Of everything I've found
Somehow your love released
A spring wound up inside me
You've turned my living upside-down

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

Tell me where you learned the magic
The spell you used the day you made me fall
Baby now I know that love is no illusion
I'm upside-down but ten feet tall

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

On and on I drifted with the tide
I didn't know that love could move me so
You filled my life with love and much more besides
And you showed me which way to go

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

I Can't Get Nowhere With You (Ransford)

I can't get nowhere with

Talk to me
Say things to me
Make me understand you love me
I can't get nowhere with you

I'm saying
You're playing
With my feelings
I'm just praying
I can't get nowhere with you

I put my trust in you
But how you let me down
I tried to treat you right
But you made me look like a clown

I'm showing
That you're going
Tears me up
My tears are flowing
I can't get nowhere with you

I Had A Dream  (Sylvester)

I had a dream
You were so near to me
but when I woke you were gone
when I woke you were gone

Thinking of you
being so far away
I guess I got memories
guess I got memories

When I am alone I feel your golden hair
Skyline of silver-blue
Trying to find words to pacify
my feelings of loneliness for you

I had a dream
You are so near to me
but when I wake you are gone
when I wake you are gone

I Understand  (unknown)

I understand when you hold my hand so tight
I understand when you kiss and say good night
When we're walking hand-in-hand
Oh baby I understand

Trying to forget isn't an easy task
A little bit of loving is all I ask
When you're away I feel so blue
Oh baby I'm in love with you

Your face haunts me and I know why
It's because of that twinkle in your eye
When you're away I feel so blue
Oh baby I'm in love with you

I'm Alive (C. Ballard Jr.)

Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
‘Til you set me free

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

If I Needed Someone (Harrison)

If I needed someone to love
you're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone

If I had some more time to spend
then I'd guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone

Had you come some other day then
it might not have been like this
Can't you see how I'm too much in love

Carve your number on my wall
and maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone

If It Wasn't For The Reason That I Love You  (Cooke / Greenaway)

Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're going
Wonder what you do
without me

A telephone call from a friend I know
left me feeling bitter
left me feeling so unhappy

'Cos if you couldn't wait for 24 hours
what good would telegrams and flowers do

If it wasn't for the reason
that I love you baby
I wouldn't have another thing
to say to you

Might as well stay
for a day or two
Find another friend
and have a drink or two
to pass the time

Talking over troubles
in a whiskey daze
a little drop of cognac
helps a man to face the lonely times

'Cause it's sad being home
and I've given up trying
I've got no lyin'
that I wanna do

chorus

Wish I could find a way
Make up the words to say
You cheated and you lied
You took away the little pride
I had inside

Indian Girl  (Sylvester)

I see the snowflakes falling
I hear the drumbeat calling
I am just only lonely Indian girl
Braver than all the brave now
I sit at every pow-wow
I fought a million men for Indian girl

Ten hides and twenty horses
that's what the tribal law says
Too much for me to pay for Indian girl

Oh sun shine on sun shine on
and take my darkness away
Oh sun shine on sun shine on
and bring this girl my way

Far from her lonely teepee
wind sends her sweetness to me
too much for me to bear my Indian girl
Gather your things together
and bring your wedding feather
We'll steal away forever Indian girl

chorus x2

Jennifer Eccles  (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

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

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

La la la la la la la
la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la

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

One Monday morning found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking had she done the same

verse 2

verse 4

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

Just one look
That’s all it took yeah

Just one look, that's all it took, yeah

Keep Off That Friend Of Mine (Hicks/Elliott)

Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah
He's not for you, ah-ah-ah
He just wants to spin you a line, ah-ah-ah
That's nothin' new ah-ah-ah
With just one thought on his mind
You know he's kind 
You shoulda known when you met him or you must be blind

Seems like only yesterday
That girl was mine in every way
People couldn't part us if they tried
Now she's turned her head away
She's lost her smile she's not so gay
Won't you come back...... to my side

Keep off of that friend of mine, ah-ah-ah
He's not for you, ah-ah-ah

JWith just one thought on his mind
You know he's kind 
You shoulda known when you met him or you must be blind

Seems like only yesterday
That girl was mine in every way
People couldn't part us if they tried

She's lost her smile she's not so gay
Won't you come back...... to my side

Kill Me Quick  (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

Life is good looking through the eyes of love
beautiful looking through the eyes of love

But you know I'm telling you girl
life ain't all the same
Take a look take a look around you now
You'll find that
though it seems great life is just a crazy scene

You and me seem to see right through a haze
People laugh but we both know that it pays

chorus

I want you to know how I feel
When you go the world ain't real
I want you to know how I feel
When you go the world ain't real

It's all balanced on the keen edge of a knife
Let's all laugh at the craziness of life

chorus

King Midas In Reverse (A. Clarke - T. Hicks - G. Nash)

If you could only see me
I know exactly where I am
You wouldn't want to be me
Oh, I can assure you of that

I'm not the guy to run with
'cause I'll throw you off the line
I'll break you and destroy you
Given time

He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse

It's plain to see it's hopeless
Going on the way we are
So even though I'd lose you
You'd be better off by far

He's not the man to hold your trust
Everything he touches turns to dust
In his hands
Nothing he can do is right
He'd even like to sleep at night
But he can't

All he touches turns to dust

All he touches turns to dust

All he touches turns to dust

All he touches turns to dust

I wish someone would find me
And help me gain control
Before I lose my reason
And my soul

He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse

Laughter Turns To Tears   (Bremner / Birch)

Makeup on your shoulder silence in the air
Tonight those telltale signs are everywhere
As you lay beside her talkin' in your dreams
The game is up and laughter turns to tears

Every time you phone her with a dumb excuse
She starts to think that she's outgrown her use
You'll be home by midnight workin' late it seems
The penny drops and laughter turns to tears

Do you think she's crazy
Don't you think she knows
Do you think she's taken in
Don't you think it shows

When laughter turns to tears
Laughter turns to tears

You can send her roses say she's lookin' great
You can talk of love but it may be too late
You may think she's jokin' as her laughter teems
But with tears
And laughter turns to screams

chorus

Now it won't be easy
Finding words to say
How you really feel inside
You take the game away

When laughter turns to tears
Laughter turns to tears

One day it's gonna shake you up
Take you by surprise
Someday it's gonna wake you up
Tears in your eyes

When laughter turns to tears
Laughter turns to tears x2

Layin' To The Music  (Clarke / Sylvester)

Bright light city's high
Maybe we're gonna fly
Get on the scene
King and Queen
Layin' To the music if you know what I mean

Downtown get around
Searchin' for a mean sound
Itchy feet
wanna dance to the beat
Layin' To the music if you know what I mean

Comin' on strong
won't be long
Reachin' out to where I belong
I'm in my stride
Good music to ride by
Horse riders in the sky

(repeat)

Drinkin' wine from a slipper shoe
Baby can we boogaloo
Move to the right
Slip in tight
Layin' to the music all night
Layin' to the music it's all right
Layin' to the music all night

Let Her Go Down  (Peter Knight - Steeleye Span)

Sometime in October
We sailed from England's shore
When we sailed into a raging storm
Like I've never ever seen before
And all of the crew they were brave men
But the captain he was braver
And he said "Never mind the ship me boys
There's none of us here can save her"

Let her go down, swim for your lives
Swim for your children, swim for your wives
Let her go down
Let her go down

Lost in the open ocean
There was some of the crew and me
While the captain steered our wounded ship
To the bottom of an angry sea
And with his dying breath
We all heard him say
"It's just the fortune of sailor"
And he said "Never mind the ship me boys
There's none of us here can save her"

chorus

He wondered if his shipmates
Were ready to just pray and give in
So he called their names out one by one
But there was no one else around but him
He saw the ship go down in the fading light
And he knew they could have saved her
He said "The captain lied when the captain cried
'There's none of us here can save her' "

chorus

Swim for your lives
Swim for your children swim for your wives
Let her go down Let her go down
Swim for your lives

Like Every Time Before (Clarke / Nash / Hicks)

If you'd only realise
I've been happy with you once before
Can't you let it be the same and more
Without you fighting me, fighting me

If you could only look into my eyes
Then you would see the truth within them lies
That I am trying hard to bring us back together

You try so hard to complicate our love
But underneath it all it's pride my love
That's hurting us and keeping us apart

chorus  

break

chorus

I start to wonder if it's worth it all
But then I look at you and start to fall
In love again, like every time before
Mmm in love again, like every time before
Oh in love again, like every time before

Listen To Me (Hazzard)

Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind

Have you ever wondered why
When everything goes wrong
Nobody stops to lend a hand
Nobody seems to care
Then she looks you in the eye
And suddenly you're strong
And very soon you realise
That you didn't care about love

Little Bitty Pretty One (Byrd)

Well little bitty pretty one I love you so

Well lovey-dovey dovey one sit down on my knee
Well little bitty pretty one I'll never let you be free
Gonna tell you a story yeah about long time ago
Well little bitty pretty one you know I'll never let you go

Look Through Any Window   (Gouldman / Silverman)

Look through any window yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town

Where do they go
Moving on their way
Walking down highways and the by-ways
Where do they go
Moving on their way
People with their shy ways and their sly ways

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

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

Where do they go
Moving on their way
Driving down highways and the byways
Where do they go
Moving on their way
Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways

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

Look through any window yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town

Where do they go
Moving on their way
Moving on their way
Moving on their way

Louisiana Man  (Kershaw)

At first Mom and Papa called the little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks of the riverbed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my Papa and my Mama and me

The clock strikes three Papa jumps to his feet
Already Mama's cooking Papa something to eat
At half past Papa he's a-ready to go
He jumps in his bireau heading down the bayou

He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He sets his traps catching anything he can
Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana Man
Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana Man

Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen
Even got a lady makes a muskrat cousin
All the hides drying in the hot hot sun
Tomorrow Papa's gonna turn them into mon

Call Mama Rita and my daddy is Jack
Little baby brother on the floor is Matt
Green and Lynn are the family twins
Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishing

On the river floats Papa's great big boat
That's how my Papa goes into town
Takes every bit of the night and day
To even reach the place where the people stay

I can hardly wait 'till tomorrow comes around
That's the day my Papa takes his furs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
He'd even let me see a cowboy show

I'd seen the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
Told my Papa gotta go again
Papa said "Son we got a life to run
We'd come back again 'cos there's work to be done"

chorus

Mad Professor Blyth   (Clarke)

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

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

All the kids around about his neighbourhood
used to laugh at him and call him names
Silly old bat freaky four-eyes
sort of things they used to shout
He can't hear them now

He's disappeared

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

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

Man With No Expression (Reid / Nash)

There's a man I know with no expression no not none at all

Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm
or led a lion through a busy street bazaar
There are many things I'd like to turn you on to
but somehow I feel you're safer where you are

If you're looking for examples to refer to
take a look around yourself I'm sure you'll find
there are many things to make your life much brighter
and I'd bet there's many more inside your mind

There's a man I know with no expression no not none at all

There's a man I know with no expression no not none at all

But  I've never seen this man laughing
and come to think of it I've never seen him cry
But I might by sitting hear him singing
By and by he'll stop and sigh
he'll feel a breeze and then begin to freeze
as he thinks goodbye

Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm
or led a lion through a busy street bazaar
There are many things I'd like to turn you on to
but somehow I feel you're safer where you are

There's a man I know with no expression no not none at all
There's a man with no expression
man with no expression
man with no expression

Mexico Gold (Alexander / Campbell / Oerton)

Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world
'cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls
I was looking for a lady
someone to have my baby

So I got me on a 747 Pan-American plane
I sat me down next to your all-American dame
Said I'm going up north
she said it's a pity
Then she told about the gold
down in Mexico City

Oh she said "Lordy Lordy
watch the blue smoke flying
every morning and every night
to get you out of your head
Oh man oh Lordy Lordy it's a natural high
when you're living down south
and it's going right out of your head

Got off the plane went to the customs
and they gave me a list
Do you carry a gun take drugs or are you Communist
They said my papers were in order
I wasn't staying long no sir
I'm going south across the border

chorus

Took the first southbound
across the Rio and down
Found a little place in the small Mexico town
Just me and my lady
now she's having my baby

chorus x2

Musical Pictures  (Bliss / Kipner)

Musical pictures colouring in the sound
Touching the feelings writing my thoughts down
Something that I can share with you

I can get carried away carried away carried away by the melody
'Cause I can't say what I really mean with words
I'm tryin so hard to reach you
I hope that I'm getting through

Musical pictures scenes from a song
You're instrumental
You're where it comes from
It's easy to play along

chorus

Silence is my canvas I can paint a sad song - blue
And make musical pictures any way I want to

I'm tryin' so hard to reach you
I hope that I'm getting through

chorus x2

Naomi  (Hicks /Hicks)

There was magic all around
People swaying to the sounds of the music
There was laughter in the air
There were lovers everywhere such romancing
There was dancing in the street
Everyone was on their feet
You just can't sit down
There was starlight in the sky
I was blinded by the light
What a night for love

I knew you were leading me on
I follow I feel I belong
I'm falling I've lost control
You've taken my heart and my soul
Naomi
Naomi
Naomi
Naomi beggin' darlin' please

The magic all around - was Naomi
The starlight in the sky - was Naomi
Knew you were leading me on
I follow I feel I belong
I'm falling I've lost control
You've taken my heart and my soul
Naomi
Naomi

Naomi beggin' darlin' please

No Rules  (Hicks / Clarke)

Don't give me your problems
I got plenty of my own
Everyday you come around here
Giving me your own set of moans
I don't want a situation
going nowhere I ain't planned
So you better listen here
while I try and make you understand

No rules no ties
No rules no lies

Take me as you see me
take me any way I am
I'm no victim man
I'll just come and see you if I can
I don't want no long term ties
Fantasise two-faced lies no way
So you better listen here
while I try to make you understand

chorus

Nobody  (Ransford)

I don't have nobody
I don't need nobody
I don't want nobody
to fall in love with me

And I'm telling you
I'm here on my own-some
Everyday I get more lonesome
But I don't want nobody
to fall in love with me
to fall in love with me

I'm just telling you girl
I don't want you hanging round
I'm just telling you girl
You gotta stop at putting me down

verse 1

to fall in love with me

Not That Way At All   (Clarke)

When I was a kid I had a rocking horse
Rocking to and fro, high and low
Where we'd go no one'd know

Thousands of tin soldiers were at my command
Dressed in red dressed in blue
Each command always followed through

But now it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all

Now I've changed and I have aged
Left here with just memories
How I wish to be young again

But it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all

No it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all

When I was a kid I had a rocking horse
Rocking to and fro, high and low
Where we'd go no one'd know

But it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all

Nothing Else But Love   (Marx)

Look at me
I never thought that I would change
Is destiny the one to blame
for bringing me to you

I can't turn back
These feelings can't be sacrificed
when we're so close to paradise
It's made for me and you

Nothing else but love
could ever mean as much to me
And every time you're next to me
And how I realise
that nothing else but love
could touched my heart the way you do
I know that I would be a fool if I did not believe

in nothing else but love

I never knew I'd a prisoner to a stranger's kiss
but you got something that I can't resist
And I got to be with you

chorus

This moment will shine on forever
It will live beyond a shadow of a doubt
This love was blessed by a southern sky
Now it can never say die

chorus

in nothing else but love

Now's The Time (Clarke / Nash)

Now's the time to say that we're through
Now's the time because I'm through with you
You treated me so bad
What a time I had
With you oh yeah times are bad times are bad

I recall the times that used to be
We went out together happily
Then he came along
I knew that it was wrong
to treat me so oh yeah times are bad times are bad

I miss the times
I feel so blue Without you my heart
it's just runaway

verse 1

Oh Granny  (Taylor)

Granny got up early one sunny day
Went to get the ferry down to Nashville
Went to find my sister who had run away
run off with a barker on a fair wheel

Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay

Granny brought us both up from the age of four
Gave us education and a home yeah
Made sure we were brung up in a proper way
Granny worked her fingers to the bone yeah

No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay

No Granny I wouldn't bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay

On A Carousel (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

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

Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So near yet so far
On a carousel, on a carousel

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
On a carousel, on a carousel

On a carousel, on a carousel

Open Up Your Eyes  (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

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

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

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

chorus

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

Open up your eyes open up your eyes

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

chorus

Open up your eyes looking at the people

Purple Rain  (Prince / Rogers / Nelson)

Never meant to cause you any sorrow
Never meant to cause you any pain
I just wanted to one time see you laughin'
Only wanted to see you laughin' in the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

Only wanted to be some kind of friend

Such a shame our friendship had to end

Relax  (Nash)

Relax take your shoes off
Relax what's your hurry
As the days go hurrying-scurrying by
you'll find yourself finding a reason
to watch the world go by

Relax take your shoes off
Relax don't you worry
As the world goes heltering-skeltering by
the sun will still wander across the sky

And if you stay with me
we'll grow wiser gracefully

Reunion Of The Heart   (Pope)

Never thought there could be so much more
You picked me up when I was living down in Egypt
You let me in and opened up the door
Went and showed me just how much you thought my heart meant
I turned and walked away into the wilderness
Now who'd have guessed

Hear you callin my name for a reunion
Hear you callin my name for a reunion
Thought I wandered too far away
But now I've got a brand new start
Reunion, reunion of the heart

Now I'm standing on the edge of the land
I want to go on in and take all that you gave me
But I'm frightened and you understand
I blew it last time but I don't want a repeat
Still when I'm quiet again, shelter from the noise
I just hear your voice

chorus

Reunion, reunion of the heart

I hear you callin me
I've been so alone
Darlin darlin darlin darlin comin' home

chorus x 2

Row The Boat Together   (Clarke)

Standing by a riverside
A river so deep and so wide
Current's too strong for only one man
I know because I tried

I got eight oars -
four on either side
Is there anybody with me
Eight hands four willing hearts
Won't someone answer my plea

Well I got in the boat
I stayed afloat
Some way across I was tiring
Well I need someone to help me
to get to the other side

Along came son of Alabama south
He said "I heard you calling
If you don't mind the colour of my skin
I'll help you not to fall in"

Then suddenly Joe from out of Tokyo
"If my eyes don't make you nervous
I used to handle a junk back home"
Said 'Can I be of service'

Well we got in the boat
we stayed afloat
Halfway across we were tiring
We got to row this boat together
to get to the other side

Two more oars
only one seat left
One more person to lean on
A brotherhood boat to a land called home
with our share of freedom

Got in the boat
stayed afloat
There's no need to be tiring
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side

Sanctuary  (Benson)

I walk the twilight zone beyond the city lights
In search of peace of mind I stole into the night
Tried to hide away from everything that threatened my existence
I showed resistance

Up there big brother's got his tabs on where I go
They tried to force me down a road where I can go
So you imagine how I felt when you said "Baby I can understand"
Touched my hand

You are my sanctuary
When I'm in your arms you take me away
You are my sanctuary
When I'm in despair I reach out and you're always there
You're always there

Beyond the skyways through the looking glass I roam
Into the never-never I found a star that glowed
And I descended on my last true wing and prayer
and you were standing there the one that cared

chorus

When there's no escaping and I panic in the night
I can run to you for cover
'Cos you'll always make it right

chorus x2

Searchin'  (Leiber / Stoller)

And if I had to up-a on a Blueberry Hill

She Gives Me Everything I Want   (Ransford)

Life ain't worth a-livin'
People just been givin' me
Friendship happiness is what everybody deserves
But she gives me everything I want

Oh I don't have to ask for everything I get
Everyone just lets me down
Tries to make me look like a fool
Won't accept me for what I am
They say I got to live by the rules
But she gives me everything I want

Oh I don't have to ask for everything I get
It's gotta end sometime
How's it gonna be yeah
Are we wrong or are we right
It's gotta end sometime
Calling you and me yeah
It's gonna take a long long time

Seems like they don't give a damn
Won't let me live just how I want
They say I'm a down-and-out
But it's them that's wrong
But she gives me everything I want

Oh I don't have to ask for everything I get

verse 3

Cos' she gives me everything I want (We don't need nobody else)

She Looked My Way  (Reed / Rae)

All around me the music was loud
Playing sound for the noisiest crowd
Did I care
I didn't even know why I was there

Sick and tired of the same old scene
Had my share of that same old routine
Like before I kept on hoping there was something more
Then anyone could see there was a change in me

When she looked my way
A simple glance and she had made my day
She looked my way
Was there a chance she wanted me to stay
Why didn't I go to her
Why didn't I speak to her
Why did I let her go away

Looked again but I found she had gone
So my heartache just kept going on
Through the night my heart and I remembered that first sight
I thought I found the love that I'd been dreaming of

chorus

When she looked my way
A simple glance and she had made my day
She looked my way
Was there a chance she wanted me to stay
She looked my way
A simple glance and she had made my day

Shine Silently (Lofgren / Wagner)

Just another room
Just another town
Same old crazy people hanging around
Still you shine silently

Staring into space
Comin' down alone
Feel like packin' all my bags
And running home
Shine silently

Shine shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines
Shines on me shines on me

People at the door
People on the phone
Same old story
No time on my own
Still shine silently

Nothing left to say
Nothing left to prove
When it's said and done
There's nothing left but you babe
Shine silently

chorus

Shine shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines

(repeat)

Shine Silently [remix]  (Lofgren / Wagner)

(a cappella) (Shine shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines)

Just another room
Just another town
Same old crazy people hanging around
Still you shine silently

Staring into space
Comin' down alone
Feel like packin' all my bags
And running home
Shine silently

Shine shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines
Shines on me shines on me

chorus

People at the door
People on the phone
Same old story
No time on my own
Still shine silently

Nothing left to say
Nothing left to prove
When it's said and done
There's nothing left but you babe
Shine silently

chorus

Shine shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines

Shine shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness

Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines

Shine shine silently (silently)
I don't need no light (I don't need no light) in the darkness (I don't need no light)
Shine (shine) silently

Signs That Will Never Change  (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

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

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

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

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

Soldier's Song (Batt)

The smoke was slowly rising as the light began to fade
There were fires on the skyline from some distant border raid
I was riding out at seventeen to join my first brigade
Many years ago

And I chanced upon a farmhouse where the woman took me in
She gave me food and wine she gave me shelter from the wind
She delayed me from my regiment and service of my king
Many years ago

She said "Soldier before I lose you to the fight
Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight"
She took me over in the fading fireglow
On that wild and misty night she was my woman

When I rose next morning I was gone before she stood
Tore myself away from there and left without a word
The sound of distant infantry was the only sound I heard
On that morning

And in that day I aged ten years and died a thousand deaths
I learned the feel of frozen steel and fear within my breast
But the lesson I'll remember till they lay me to my rest
Keeps returning

chorus

And when the dice of war were thrown and victory was won
My drunken young compatriots went out to have their fun
And there was no single house they didn't burn or overrun on that evening

And I rode out to that place again as hard as I could ride
But I found her by the cradle on that lonely mountainside
In the hands of those brave friends of mine she suffered and she died
Many years ago

"Soldier before I lose you to the fight"
She said "Soldier I'll make a man of you tonight"
She took me over in the fading fireglow
On that wild and misty night she was my woman

Son Of A Rotten Gambler  (Taylor)

And his love will be his vision
And he'll take you where you stand
And will you stand your life by his
And help the boy become a man

He'd be the son of his father
His father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty
Being his own manhandler
For the son of the son of a run of the mill run
Rotten gambler

Will the devil be gettin' to you
As you look back over what you've done
And what you've done
Was it for reason or for rhyme
Was it just for fun

chorus

Back on the road now
You can lose your head
There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man
You know the road now
And you've made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you
Shine upon you

chorus x2

Sorry Suzanne (Stephens / Macaulay)

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me I was wrong
And I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne

I could never ever justify
All the tears I made you cry
But I do regret it my Suzanne
You gotta believe me

I was lookin' 'round for someone new
What a foolish thing to do
All the time I knew it
Heaven knows what made me do it girl

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me I was wrong
And I knew I was all along all along
I'm truly sorry Suzanne

If you would only take me back again
Things would be so different then
What I wouldn't give for
One more chance to live for you Suzanne

verse 2

Stand By Me  (Fritz / Gebauer / Hendrick / Brinckmann)

Three o'clock in the morning
I got a pain in my heart
Lying awake I see you
just a shadow in the dark
Why do I fall in love with a girl like you

Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and give me tenderness
Wanna hold ya wanna touch ya
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and let the good times roll
I will never let you go
Just stand by me

Looking out at the streetlights
Can they show me the way
To your heart they lead me
Won't you come on back and stay
Why do I fall in love with a girl like you

Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and give me tenderness
Wanna hold ya wanna touch you
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and let the good times roll
I will never let you go
Stand by me

Stand by me
Come on and stand by me

Why do I fall in love with a girl like you
Why do I fall in love with a girl like you

Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and give me tenderness
Wanna hold ya wanna touch ya
Stand by me and give me all your lovin'
Stand by me and let the good times roll
I'm never gonna let you go
Stand by me

Take My Love And Run (Chatton / Black)

The time is here the moment's right
There's nothing left for me to fight
Fill me no favours if I'm lonely tonight

All alone on my own
It's gotta be the only way
Finally it looks like we've got nothing to say

I don't mind
You gotta be cruel to be kind
And all we do all day is fight
You say wrong and I say right

Take my love and run
Get out before the morning sun
I gave you all I had and more in vain
Oh you won't do this to me again
No you won't do this to me again

verse 3

chorus x2

Take my take my love and run
Get out before the morning sun

Take my love and run(Oh take my take my)
Get out before the morning sun (the morning sun)
I gave you all I had and more in vain
Oh you won't do this to me again
No you won't do this to me again

(repeat)

The Baby  (Taylor)

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

Words that were spoken in the anger of youth only half truth
Touched by the child bride while deep inside lie the real truth
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby

Half-forgotten in the passing of time the real crime
Brother to brother with backs to each other the war sign
And in the passion of the spring came the baby

Come back mama mama sing him a song
Tell him all that was wrong
Tell him all that you had that was bad
Tell him all that was good mama
You know that you should mama
Remember the good mama

And in the passion of the spring
Came the baby

verse 4

And with a light that you show
Let him go
Let him go let him go
Let him go let him let him go

verse 2

He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby And in the passion of the spring came the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
The baby yeah the baby
The baby yeah the baby
The baby yeah the baby

The Woman I Love  (Kershaw)

I'm tired of foolin' around
I'm trying hard but I'm no Clark Gable
There's something I wanna say
Here are my cards on the table

The woman I love has eyes of blue
A face like heaven and a body like you
The woman I love is standing next to me

These words don't come easily
These words are a stranger in my town
But I am what I wanna be
Forget the high-brow here's the low-down

chorus x2

It's funny how it never seems
To be the time or place
I can tell it to the world
But I can't tell it to your face

I got a secret I don't want anymore
I'd tell you about it but I'm too damn yellow
What does it matter if you walk out that door
What's to lose baby What the hell

chorus x2

The woman I love is standing next to me

This Is It  (Pope)

Well I've known this girl forever
From the playground to the dance hall
From the same old dirty housing
All her friends I will call my friends
All the time we call our own
Well we used to stand together
Now I stand alone

This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, how was I the last to know
This is it, it's touch and go

Well I should've seen it coming
Well I should've read the signs
She was gone in the morning
Left me with red eyes at night
Well she couldn't even tell me
Didn't tell me
Cause my courage must've failed her
Turning out the light

chorus

What if I should find you
Drag you to your room
That's the trouble you've been  go too soon
Well I hope you make it big time
Well I hope you got it right
That you say you got no heart to put up a fight
Maybe I'm new to this small town
But I still got more than you
Why don't you just try and call me
When you're passing through

chorus

What if I should find you
Take you to a movie
That's the trouble you been  go too soon

chorus x2

Tomorrow When It Comes  (Clarke / Nash)

When tomorrow comes you'll be thinking of yesterday
All the things you're gonna do
Will be the things you've done
What difference does it make to you
What you were doing yesterday
Today will be yesterday tomorrow when it comes

In or out it's all the same
When you're in you're out again
Going in you must come out of place you've been in
If I'm saying 'yes' to you
It's 'no' if I don't follow through
Today will be yesterday tomorrow when it comes
