You, youre driving me crazy
What did I do?
Tell me, what did I do?
My tears for you make, make everything hazy
Clouding the skies of blue
How true
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me, believe me, they knew
But you
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me when I needed you
Oh, you, you you you
Youre driving me crazy
What did I do, what did I do to you?
You you you you you you...
Youre driving me crazy
What did I do, what did I do to you?
My tears for you make everything hazy
Clouding the skies, skies of blue
How true
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me, believe me, they knew
But you
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me when I needed you
You, youre driving me crazy
What did I do, what did I do to you?
What did I do to you?
What did I do to you?
What did I do, what did I do to you? |
And the caravan is on its way
I can hear the merry gypsies play
Mama mama look at Ammaro
Shes a-playin with the radio
La, la, la, la...
And the caravan has all my friends
It will stay with me until the end
Gypsy Robin, Sweet Emma Rose
Tell me everything I need to know
La, la, la...
Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what is really wrong
I long to hold you tight so I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you
Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher radio
Turn it up, turn it up, so you know, radio
La, la, la, la...
And the caravan is painted red and white
That means evrybodys staying overnight
Barefoot gypsy player round the campfire sing and play
And a woman tells us of her ways
La, la, la, la...
Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what is really wrong
I long to hold you tight so I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you

There there child, there there child
Dont it make you feel alright
There there child, dont it all look good tonight
And you feel like going but you gotta stay
Aint no time for to hop on a freight train
And you feel like laying in the morning hay
Cause its time for a nap now, before rain
There there child, dont it make you satisfied
There there child, you can rest your weary eyes
And you feel like walking on a mountain top
Or a ride on a boat up the river
And the last lonely sheep has returned to the flock
As you wing over the white cliffs of Dover
There there child, theres a glint in your eye for surprise
There there child, are you ready to don your disguise, yes you are
Sun goes down across the pond and the wind, wind is blowing wild
And the swallow soars and the lion roars
Outside your front door, by the oak tree in the meadow
There there child, there there child
Are you ready to don your disguise
There there child, theres a glint in your eye for surprise
Do you feel like walking on a mountain top
Or ride on a boat up the river
And the last lonely sheep has returned to the flock
As you wing over the white cliffs of dover
As you wing over the white cliffs of dover, straight ahead
As you wing over the white cliffs of dover, straight ahead
You wing over the white cliffs of dover |

Soul is a feeling, feeling deep within
Soul is not the colour of your skin
Soul is the essence, essence from within
It is where everything begins
Soul is what youve been through
Whats true for you
Where you going to
What you gonna do
Soul is your station for the folk of your nation
Something that you wear with pride
Soul can be your vision or something that is hidden
Its not something that you gotta hide
Soul is what youve been through
And whats true for you
Where youre going to
What you gonna do
Soul can be your station for the folk of your nation
Something that you wear with pride
Soul can be your vision it can be your religion
Something that you just cant hide
Oh, soul is a feeling, feeling deep within
Soul is not the colour of your skin
Soul is the essence, essence from within
Soul is where everything begins |

I hear a song makes me think of a girl I used to know...
I sing along when I hear it on the radio now...
Hey now whered we go?
Ooh yeah, days when the rains came
Way down in the hollows
Ooh yeah, playing a new game
Laughing and a running
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog
Oh baby, Yeah my hearts a thumping, you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when?
Yeah, we used to sing. .
Sha la la la la la la

Now that the years gone by
Yeah now that Im on my own
I saw you just the other day
But my baby, you have grown
I cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I am overcome
Just thinking about it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
Youre my brown eyed girl
Youre my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when?
Yeah, we used to sing. .
Sha la la la la la la

We currently do not have these lyrics |
Lie by my side in the still of the night
And morning brings forth all its wondrous delight
You couldnt have made it more plain
When I hear that soft refrain
And I hear you gently sigh
I wanna take you where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingoes fly
Lie in the dark with the sweet sound of the nightingale
And listen for lark, and I will tell you a tale
Soft winds blowin, blowin outside
I wanna take that moonlight ride
When I hear you gently sigh
I wanna take you where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder, yeah in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingoes fly
Silently waiting for that morning light to shine
Yeah, and Im looking at you, looking at me
And Im looking at you
And anticipating
Each and every, each and every sign
And Im looking at you, looking at me
And Im looking at you, looking at me
Looking at you, looking at me, looking at you
I follow the road that will take me, take me back home
And carry that load where the deer and the provincial angels roam
Happiness touches me now
Who knows where it came from and how, but
When I hear you gently sigh
I wanna, wanna take you where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingoes fly, flamingoes fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
Thats where flamingoes fly
You see those flamingoes fly
Ya see those, ya see those, ya see those
Ya see those, ya see those, ya see those flamingoes fly
Look over yonder, look over yonder, darling
Look over yonder, darling
Ya take it by the ocean, ya take it, ya take it by the ocean
Mmm uhhh, take it by the ocean |
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight
Dont want no jive artists calling me on the telephone
Dont wanna watch Carson show all alone
I just wanna lay back, take my rest
While loves head resting on my chest
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight
And I dont want my best friends even coming round
Cos if they do I might put em down
Carsons over and the lights way down low
And all I got, I got a heart full of soul
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight
And its a lovers prayer, oh yes it is
Takes a little time, takes a little care, yeah, yeah, yeah
And when it gets way on in the midnight hour
I just wanna play my guitar
I just wanna see you smile, touch your face
Be with you in my own place
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight
Just wanna be with my love tonight
Just wanna be with my love tonight |
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 |

Too many myths
People just assuming things that arent true
Theres too many myths
Coming between me and you
You might have your name up in lights
But you still have to keep your game uptight
Too many myths

Im just trying to maintain
I got my name up in lights
But Im just trying to keep my game uptight |
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
I get my hands on a dollar again
Im gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins
’Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When youre down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you dont have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it’s mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when youre down and out
When you finally get back upon your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said its mighty strange
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when youre down and out |

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 |
If you live your time will come
I say if you live your time will come
So child dont mess with that cotton sack
It will scratch your knees and bend your back
And if you live your time will come
If you live your day will come
If you live your day will come
So child dont play with those pots and pans
They will soon enough ruin your pretty hands
And if you live your time will come
If you live a day will come
If you live a day will come
When the sun will shine
And the crops will grow
And you think youre not gonna worry no more
But if you live, your time will come |
I dont want much in this world
Its th simple things I treasure
till I die I would get by on fame, riches and sensual pleasure
I dont ask much in this life
No special consideration
Just treat me like his majesty
Of a friendly opec nation
Some people
Just dont know when to stop
Some people
Just wont quit until they reach the top
But Im so easy going
Id make my way through life
On love and understanding
From a rich and beautiful life
Some people
Just never seem to get enough
Some people
Want salvation, paradise and all that stuff
But Im so easy going
Dont even keep the score
All I want is plenty, but I will take more
If you ask me
I will take more
Say please
I will
Take more |
Sitting there yakkin right in my face
Coming on like you own the place
If silence was golden
You couldnt raise a dime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Youre quoting figures, youre dropping names
Youre telling stories, youre playing games
You always laugh when things aint funny
You try to sound like you dont need money
If talk was criminal, youd lead a life of crime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
You know that life is short and talk is cheap
Dont make promises that you cant keep
If you dont like the song Im singing, just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talking please can you make it rhyme
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime |
Your cheatin heart
Will make you weep
Youll cry & cry
Youll try to sleep
But sleep wont come
The whole night through
Your cheatin heart
Will tell on you
When tears come down
Like pourin rain
Youll toss around
And call my name
Youll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin heart
Will tell on you
When tears come down
Like fallin rain
Youll toss around
And call my name
Youll walk the floor
Just the way I do
Your cheatin heart
Will tell on you
Your cheatin heart |
When Lewellen comes around
And he goes through market town
Youll be on the Celtic Ray
Are you ready?
When McManus comes around
On his early morning round
Cryin Heron a lay
Youll be on the Celtic Ray
Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Wales
I can hear those ancient voices calling
Children, children
When the coalbrick man comes round
On a cold November day
Youll be on the Celtic Ray
Are you ready?
Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall and Wales
I can hear those ancient voices calling
Children, children, children
Listen Jimmy, I wanna go home
Listen Jimmy I wanna go home
Ive been away from the Ray too long
Ive been away from the Ray too long
In the early mornin, well go walkin where
The light comes shining through
On the Celtic Ray |
They say that richard cory owns one-half of this here town
With political connections, spread his wealth around
Born into society a bankers only child
He had everything a man could want

They were grateful for his patronage
And thanked him very much
But my mind was filled with wonder
When the evening headlines
That richard cory went home last night
And put a bullet through his head
But i, i, i, work in his factory
And i, i dont dig the life im livin
And i dont dig my poverty
And i wish that i could be
Yeah and i wish that i could be
Yeah wish that i could be, richard cory
And i wish that i could be

From the ancient sun to the old heart stove come the troubadours
From the city gates to the castle walls its the troubadours
On a sunlit day it was bright and clear
And the people came from far and they came from near
To hear the troubadours
Well the troubadours sang their songs of love to the lady fair
She was sitting outside on a balcony in in the cool night air
It was a starry night the moon was shining bright
And the trumpets rang and they gave a chime
For the troubadours
And for every man all across the land and from shore to shore
They came singin songs of love and chivalry from the days of yore
Baby lift your window high do you hear that sound
Its the troubadours as they go through town
Baby lift your window high do you hear that sound
Its the troubadours with their freedom song
Lift your window high turn your lamp down low baby
Dont you know I love you so
Lift your window high do you dig that sound
Its the troubadours coming through town

I can hear her heartbeat
From a thousand miles
Hear the heavens open
Every time she smiles
And when I come to her
Thats where I belong
Yet, Im running to her
Like a river strong
Its just like a river strong
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, that crazy love
Shes got a fine sense of humor
When Im feeling low down
And when I come to her
When the sun goes down
Take my troubles away
Take away my grief
Take away my heartache
In the night like a thief
In the night like a thief
If you know it then sing it
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, that crazy love
Yes I need, yes I need her in the daytime, what
And oh I need, yes I need her in the night, what
I want to throw my arms all around her
To kiss and hug, kiss and hug her tight
And oh
Sharkey, play your solo
Ladies and gentlemen, Isaiah Sharkey on guitar
And when Im returning, baby
From so far away
She gives me sweet sweet lovin
To brighten up my day
You know it makes me righteous
And it makes me whole
Makes me mellow
Deep down into my soul
Deep down into my soul
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, crazy love
One more time, she gives love, just a little love
When I wake up in the morning
She gives me love, love, love, love, love
Crazy, crazy, crazy Love
Crazy love
Thank you |

I miss you so much, I cant stand it
Seems like my heart is breaking in two
The head says, no, but my soul demands it
Everything I do reminds me of you
I miss you so much in this house full of shadows
While the rain keeps pouring down my window too
When will the pain recede to the darkness
From whence it has come and Im feeling so blue
Aint goin down, no more to the well
Sometimes it feels like Im going to hell
Sometimes, Im knocking on your front door
But I dont have nothing to sell no more
Seems like the spirit is pushing me onwards
Im able to see, where I tripped and went wrong
Ill just have to guess where my soul will find comfort
And I miss you so much when Im singing my song
Aint goin down, no more to the well
But sometimes it seems Im going to hell
Youll find me knocking on your front door
Well I dont have nothing to sell no more
Seems like my spirit, is pushing me onwards
Til Im able to see where, I tripped when I went wrong
Ill just have to guess where my soul will get comfort
I miss you so much when Im singing my song
I miss you so much, I cant stand it
Seems like my heart is breaking in two
The head says, go, but my soul demands it
And everything I do reminds me of you
Everything I do reminds me of you

Well I look down the road and I wondered
Yes, I wondered, oh Lord, I wondered
I look down the road and I wondered
Just to see how far, see how far I was from God
And I buckled up my shoes and then I started walking
And I started walking, oh, I started walking
I just buckled up my shoes and I started walking
Just to see how far I was from God
Now I used to, used to have some playmates
I used to have, use to have some playmates
I used to have some playmates
To walk and talk, walk and talk with me
But ever since I, since I received a blessing
Oh, I received a blessing, I received a blessing
Ever since I received a blessing
Oh, my so called friends, they turned their back on me
I look down the road, look down the road and I wondered
Oh yes, I wondered, oh yes, I wondered
I look, I look, I look down the road and I wondered
I wondered to see how far, how far that I was, was from God
One more time
Oh, and I wondered, oh, I wondered
I wondered, oh, I wondered
Just to see how far I was from God |
Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a childlike vision leaping into view
Clicking, clacking of the high heeled shoe
Ford and Fitzroy, Madame George
Marching with the soldier boy behind
Hes much older now with hat on drinking wine
And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through
The cool night air like Shalimar
And outside theyre making all the stops
The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops
Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
Happy taken Madame George
Thats when you fall
Whoa, thats when you fall
Yeah, thats when you fall
When you fall into a trance
Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms and history books
You glance into the eyes of Madame George
And you think you found the bag
Youre getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
In a corner playing dominoes in drag
The one and only Madame George
And then from outside the frosty window raps
She jumps up and says, Lord, have mercy I think its the cops
And immediately drops everything she gots
Down into the street below
And you know you gotta go
On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row
Throwing pennies at the bridges down below
And the rain, hail, sleet, and snow
Say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
And as you leave, the room is filled with music
Laughing, music, dancing, music all around the room
And all the little boys come around, walking away from it all
So cold, and as youre about to leave
She jumps up and says, hey love, you forgot your gloves
And the gloves to love, to 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 back street
In the backstreet, in the back street
Say goodbye to Madame George
In the backstreet, in the back street, in the back street
Down home, down home in the back street
Gotta go, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Dry your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye
Say goodbye to Madame George
And the loves to love to love the love
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Say goodbye goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
The loves to love, the loves to love, the loves to love
Say goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train
Get on the train, the train, the train
This is the train, this is the train
Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train, get on the train |
Drive and wail

And maybe be your fool
Thats all I wanted to do
Ah, just to hold your hand
All along the golden sand
Thats all I wanted to do

The sunlight never comes through
Im so sad and lonely, baby
Since I broke off baby with you
I live on a lonely avenue
Little girl, since you said youre through
Now I feel so sad and blue
Its all because of you
I could die, I could die, I could die
I could die, I could die, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
My pillow is made of lead
And my cover is made of stone
I toss and turn every night
Im not used to livin alone
I live on a lonely avenue
Girl, since you said were through
And I feel so sad and blue
You know its all because of you
I could die, I could die, I could die
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I live on a Lonely Avenue |

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 |
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then that I never could
But time has taken all my pain away
Until now Im down to hurtin once a day
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish that you werent gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long
And Im so glad Im not like a friend that I knew one time
He lost the one he loved and then he slowly lost his mind
Sat around and cried his life away
Lucky me Im only hurtin once a day
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish that you werent gone
Once a day, every day, all day long
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish that you werent gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long
Once a day, every day, all day long |
Everyday, everyday I have the blues

Its just an old Van Morrison tune
Its called Moondance
Well, its a marvelous night for a Moondance
Beneath stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Beneath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And Im trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have some more romance with you, with you, my love
Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I cant wait til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms youre gonna run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that youre never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true
There and then Im gonna make you my own
Every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know that you want me that you said you cant
Dont you know you cant hide, baby
Baby, can we dance?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love
Every time I touch you, baby, you tremble
And I know that you want me, baby, that
Baby, that you cant hide, you cant hide it from me, baby
Let me dance, one more dance, one more dance with you
Baby, let me dance, I wanna dance, let me dance with you
Baby, dance, said I wanna dance with you, baby
Dancin, dancin |
When all the dark clouds roll away
And the sun begins to shine
I see my freedom from across the way
And it comes right in on time
Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light
And it comes from the sky above
Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me
And lights my life with love
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh
I was lost and double crossed
With my hands behind my back
I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt
Shoved out on the railroad track
Ive been used, abused and so confused
And I had nowhere to run
But I stood and looked
And my eyes got hooked
On that beautiful morning sun
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh
And the sun shines down all on the ground
Yeah and the grass is oh so green
And my heart is still and Ive got the will
And I dont really feel so mean
Here it comes, here it comes
0 here it comes right now
And it comes right in on time
Well it eases me and it pleases me
And it satisfies my mind
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh |

Words could never explain
You looked so beautiful, darlin, I adore you
Always could never explain
Yes, from the minute I first saw you
Standin right in front of me
I was overwhelmed, ah by your beauty
So very plain to see
Who could ever believe the wonder of you?
Who could ever believe the wonder of you?
I could from the first time that I saw you, oh yes
I could always believe the wonder of you
Feel a tree and the flowers around us
And the birds that sang low
And that day that lovelight found us
That is all we need to know
Yes, and I can always feel your spirit
Even if youre far away
Darlin, darlin, how I needed
Words could never say

My mama done tol me
When I was a little
My mama done told me, son
A woman will sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when that sweet talk is done
A womans a two faced
A womans something that would leave you singing the blues in the night
Now the rain is falling
Heaven can hear you calling
Doo wee
Heaven blows the lonesome whistle
Blowing across the threshhold
Doo wee
Doo wee ta too tee
A crickety crack go wickety wack the blues in the night
Evening breeze will start
Trees that crying in the
All in the world wood haunted slide
When you get the blues in the night
So take my word
Or the mocking bird
Will sing a sadder kind of song
Maybe he knows things
He knows things can go wrong
A match is a maybe
Love is the same job
Whenever the four winds blow
Ive been to some big town
Had me some big town
But there is one thing I know
A womans a two faced
A womans something that would leave you singing the blues in the night
Blues in the night |
Street choir sing me the song for the new day

Why did you leave America
Why did you let me down
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around
You know I just cant see you now
In my, in my new world crystal ball
You know I just cant free you now
Thats not my job at all
Move it on up, move it on up by the window
Magnificent flow, oh let it all go in the moon glow
Ill take the wine, Ill take the wine with the gravy
Ask you the time, and just send the bill to my baby
Why did you leave America
Why did you let me down
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around
You know I just cant see you now
In my, in my, in my new world crystal ball
You know I just cant free you now
Thats not my job at all
Why did you leave America

Put on your lipstick
Apply your makeup
Sometimes youre living in a dream
And then you go steppin out queen
Well, you go to a party
And you laugh loud and hearty
You stay all night, you know you make the scene
As you go steppin out queen
Its just a windfall away
Its a love, keeps getting stronger every day
You gotta look up and say
Its just a windfall away
Its just a windfall away
It keeps getting stronger every day
You gotta look out and say
Its just a windfall away
Well, you go through the drama
And you work in the dharma
Then you stand up and wipe your mirror clean
And then you go steppin out queen
Come in the garden and just look at the flowers
We can just sit and talk for hours and hours
Its just a windfall away
Its a love, its a love
Keeps getting stronger every day
Ill come in your garden and then well go steppin out

In the days before rock n roll
In the days before rock n roll
In the days before rock n roll
When we let, then we bet
On Lester Piggott when we met
We let the goldfish go
In the days before rock n roll
Fats did not come in
Without those wireless knobs
Fats did not come in
Without those wireless knobs
Elvis did not come in
Without those wireless knobs
Nor Fats, nor Elvis
Nor Sonny, nor Lightning
Nor Muddy, nor John Lee
In the days before rock n roll
In the days before rock n roll
When we let and we bet
On Lester Piggott 10/1
And we let the goldfish go
Down the stream
Before rock n roll
We went over the wavebands
Wed get Luxembourg
Luxembourg and Athlone
AFM stars of Jazz
Come in, come in, come in, Ray Charles
Come in, the high priest
In the days before rock n roll
In the days before rock n roll
When we let and we bet
On Lester Piggott 10 to 1
And we let the goldfish go
And then the killer came along
The killer, Jerry Lee Lewis
A whole lotta shakin goin on
Great balls of fire
Little Richard

Oh the mud splattered victims
Have to pay out all along the ancient highway
Torn between half truth and victimization
Fighting back with counter attacks
Its when that rough god goes riding
When the rough god goes gliding
And then rough god goes riding
Riding on in
I was flabbergasted by the headlines
People in glasshouses throwing stones
Gaping wounds that will never heal
Now theyre moaning like a dog in a manger
Its when that rough god goes riding
And then the rough god goes gliding
Therell be nobody hiding
When that rough god comes riding on in
And its a matter of survival
When youre born with your back against the wall
Wont somebody hand me a bible
Wont you give me that number to call
When that rough god goes riding
And then that rough god goes gliding
Theyll be nobody hiding
When that rough god goes riding on in
Riding on in
When that rough god goes riding
When that rough god goes gliding
Therell be nobody hiding
When that rough god goes riding on in
Riding on in
Therell be no more heroes
Theyll be reduced to zero
When that rough god goes riding
Riding on in
Riding on in
Riding on in
Riding on in |

Nose in your blow
Got nowhere to go
In the snow |

How can you stand the silence
That pervades when we all cry?
How can you watch the violence
That erupts before your eyes?
How can you tell us something
Just to keep us hangin on?
Somethin that just dont mean nothing
When we see it you are gone
Clinging to some other rainbow
While were standing, waiting in the cold
Tellin us the same old story
Knowin time is growin old
That was a wonderful remark
I had my eyes closed in the dark
I sighed a million sighs
I told a million lies to myself, to myself
How can we listen to you
When we know your talk is cheap?
How can we ever question
Why we give more and you keep?
How can your empty laughter
Fill a room like ours with joy
When youre only playing with us
Like a child does with a toy?
How can we ever feel the freedom
Or the flame lit by the spark?
How can we ever come out even
When reality is stark?
That was a wonderful remark
I had my eyes closed in the dark, yeah
I sighed a million sighs
I told a million lies to myself, to myself
Baby, to myself
Baby, to myself
To myself, to myself
To myself |
Im thinkin bout a place
Im waitin for the day
When I will make my get away
Because as any fool can see
Theres nothin here for me but
Hurry up boy bring that water
Dont do things you shouldnt oughta
But when I go away and find my easy street
Ill have a smile for all I meet
And they will welcome me I know
Everywhere I go
No more thinkin that Ive missed it how can anyone resist it
And theres a chance
That I will find my big romance
When I get to my city home
But when I go away
And find my easy street
Ill have a smile for all I meet
And they will welcome me I know
Everywhere I go
Ill see the town in all its glitter
How could anyone be bitter
And theres a chance
That I will find my big romance
When I get to my city home |
Little girl, little girl
Thought you were on your way to school
Little girl, little girl
Thought you were on your way to school
Do you remember?
You went and broke your teachers rule
Well, I walked by your classroom
I had to take a look
I stopped a while and watched what you
Had written in your book
Cause I love ya
An I dont care, a-what they say
Saw you from my window
Standin by the big oak tree
I sat an thought an wondered, baby
About how it used to be
And miles and miles of golden sand
A-walking, a-talkin, hand in hand
And Ive got you, in my soul

Some lucky night he may come back again
So until then, Im travelin light
No one to see, Im free as the breeze
No one but me and my memories
Some lucky night he may come back again
So until then, Im travelin light |

When all the dark clouds roll away
And the sun begins to shine
I see my freedom from across the way
And it comes right in on time
Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light
And it comes from the sky above
Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me
And lights my life with love
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh
I was lost and double crossed
With my hands behind my back
I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt
Shoved out on the railroad track
Ive been used, abused and so confused
And I had nowhere to run
But I stood and looked
And my eyes got hooked
On that beautiful morning sun
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh
And the sun shines down all on the ground
Yeah and the grass is oh so green
And my heart is still and Ive got the will
And I dont really feel so mean
Here it comes, here it comes
0 here it comes right now
And it comes right in on time
Well it eases me and it pleases me
And it satisfies my mind
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah

These are the days of the endless summer
These are the days, the time is now
There is no past, theres only future
Theres only here, theres only now
Oh, your smiling face, your gracious presence
The fires of spring are kindling bright
Oh, the radiant heart and the song of glory
Crying freedom in the night
These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into wine
These are days of the endless dancing and the
Long walks on the summer night
These are the days of the true romancing
When Im holding you oh, so tight
These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one great magician
Turned water into wine
These are the days now that we must savour
And we must enjoy as we can
These are the days that will last forever |

Gone are the days
When my heart was young and gay
Gone are toils
Of the cotton fields away
Gone to the fields
Of a better land, I know
I hear those gentle voices callin’ me
Old black Joe
I’m comin’, I’m comin’
Though my head is bendin’ low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe
I’m comin’ home
Well, I’m comin’ home
Though my head
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe
Gone are the days
When my heart was young and gay
Gone are the toils of the cotton fields, away
Gone to the fields of a better land I know
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe
I’m comin’ home
Oh, an’ I’m comin’ home
Well oh well, my head is bendin’ low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe
I’m comin’ home
Oh, an’ I’m comin’ home
Can ya see my head is bendin’ low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old black Joe
Old black Joe
Old black Joe |
