It's Too Bad
03:14
|
|||
|
All we seem to do is talk about it
We always end up shouting about it
There was a time we could overcome it
But it's too late to say we'll just forget it
It's too bad that we had to break up
And too much said for us to every make up
I could get by if I could just forget you
But things remind me and I feel so sad now
I could say I'm sorry
But it's not the point is it?
You want to play your games and
You don't mind if I get hurt
Same old feeling every time I see you
And every avenue I walk I'm behind you
Your back is turned and your eyes are closed girl
You move in circles that are out of my reach now

Waiting for the Weekend
03:29
|
|||
|
It makes all the difference in the universe
To be with you at night but it only makes it worse in the daytime
But when I see you in the evening, well that's all right
I forget about the day 'cos you're mine all night
But in the morning there's that feeling again
Another nine hours until meet your train at the station
So I spend all day on the telephone
Just telling you I miss you and I'm all alone
And every day I dream my life away
Just waiting for the weekend
Then I know I won't have to leave you here
And we can be alone again
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend to come
I don't need money and I don't need crime
I get my kicks from spending all my time here beside you
That's why I'm standing on the corner in the freezing cold
Just waiting for my girl from another world
And every day I dream my life away
Just waiting for the weekend
Then I know I won't have to leave you here
And we can be alone again
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend to come
And every day I dream my life away
Just waiting for the weekend
Then I know I won't have to leave you here
And we can be alone again
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend to come
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend
Waiting for the weekend to come

I can't give you more than what I've got
I can't expect to give what I have not
I-I-I can only give ya lovin' 'till the sun goes down
And, until the leaves of summer turn to shades of brown
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you evra'thing
I can't argue with you to a-understand
'Cause after all, I am just a man
A you-ooo-ooo are on my mind
When stars appear and shadows fall
And when ev'ra little flower close
And no birds call
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you evra'thing
I'll do anything you want me to do
'Cause I don't want to know there's life without you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Don't ever go and leave me in this world alone
I-I-I'd be like a little child if I was on my own
I try and I try
But baby you know that I
Can only give you evra'thing
Evra'thing, baby
A little bit of this, a little bit of that
And evra'thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Dance Away
04:32
|
|||
|
Yesterday, well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said "it's love" you said "all right"
It's funny how I could never cry
Until tonight and you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away
Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark, off the wall
Let the strobe light up them all
I close my eyes and dance till dawn
Dance away
Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
There was I, many times a fool
I hope and pray, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away

I'm Into Something Good
03:09
|
|||
|
Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(She danced with me like I hoped she would)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin' in love
She's everthing I've been dreamin' of
She's everthing I've been dreamin' of
I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin', ahhh)
I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
To something good, something good, something good

Scandinavian Dreams
04:22
|

|
Oh how I miss those Scandinavian nights
The chill on the breeze, and those beautiful sights
The stars in the night, and a song in the wild
Oh how I miss my Scandinavian child
I want to come back to that place that I see
And when we're apart, it just burdens me
Scandinavian Dreams, oh how I love you
Scandinavian Dreams, oh how I need you
Don't go away fair young maiden, you're my Scandinavian Dream
You're the woman I love, and the child I will miss
Waiting for me in the sweet morning's mist
I see children play, which reminds me of you
Riding in that sleigh, I want to be there with you
Scandinavian Dreams, oh how I love you
Scandinavian Dreams, oh how I need you
This dream that I have, it's got to set my soul free
My Danish-speaking girl, I will love you for all time
Scandinavian Dreams, oh how I love you
Scandinavian Dreams, oh how I need you
It's gonna stay right here in my heart
Scandinavian dreams, never leave me
I've seen those nights and I remember those days
There's nothing else I can say
Scandinavian dreams, never leave me

Lucifer Sam

Lucifer Sam, Siam cat
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side
That cat's something I can't explain
Ginger, Ginger you're a witch
You're the left side
He's the right side
Oh, no
That cat's something I can't explain
Lucifer go to sea
Be a hip cat, be a ship's cat
Somewhere, anywhere
That cat's something I can't explain
At night prowling sifting sand
Hiding around on the ground
He'll be found when you're around
That cat's something I can't explain

Summer Song
03:35
|
|||
|
Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by
Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I
Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky
They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, no
And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, no
And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
And dream of you

World Without Love
03:04
|
|||
|
Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does I'll know
So baby, until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does I'll know
So baby, until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love

Year of the Cat
05:25
|
|||
|
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
While she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the newborn day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat
Year of the cat

So sad about us
So sad about us
Sad that the news is out now
Sad, suppose we can't turn back now
Sad about us
So bad about us
So bad about us
Bad, never meant to break up
Bad, suppose we'll never make up
Bad about us
Apologies mean nothing
When the damage is done
But I can't switch off my loving
Like you can't switch off the sun
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 la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Sad, never meant to break up
Sad, suppose we'll never make up

Pointless anyway I knew that you'd be out

Can you judge a man
By the way he wears his hair?
Can you read his mind
By the clothes that he wears?
Can you see a bad man
By the pattern on his tie?
Well then, mister, you're a better man than I
Yeah, mister, you're a better man than I
Oh, mister, you're a better man than I
Yeah, mister, you're a better man than I
Could you tell a wise man
By the way he speaks or spells?
Is this more important
Than the stories that he tells?
And call a man a fool
If for wealth he doesn't strive?
Well then, mister, you're a better man than I
Yeah, mister, you're a better man than I
Oh, mister, you're a better man than I
Yeah, mister, you're a better man than I
Can you condemn a man
If you're faith he doesn't hold?
Say the colour of his skin
Is the colour of his soul?
Could you say that men
For king and country all must die?
Well, mister, you're a better man than I
Yeah, mister, you're a better man than I
Oh, mister, you're a better man than I
Yeah, mister, you're a better man than I

If You Leave
03:50
|

|
If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me, just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We've always had time on our side
Now it's fading fast
Every second, every moment
We've got to, we've gotta make it last
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now, like I need you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday
If you leave, I won't cry
I won't waste one single day
But if you leave, don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to, you gotta say you will
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd meet again
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd still be friends
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd meet again someday
Ohh-oh-oh
Ohh-oh-oh
Ohh-oh-oh

If you leave (Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh)
Oh, if you leave (Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh)
Oh, if you leave (Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh)
Don't look back (Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh)
Don't look back (Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh)

I Love You

I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
But the words won't come & I don't know what to say
I should tell you, I love you, I do
My words should explain, but my words won't come
I shouldn't hide my love deep inside
My words should explain, but my words won't come
I should tell you just how I feel, & I keep tryin'
But something holds me back when I try to tell you
[Chorus:]
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
But the words won't come & I don't know what to say
If I can find the words in my mind
The words could explain, but the words won't come
If you can see what you mean to me
My words should explain, but my words won't come
& oh how hard I try to tell you I love you
But something holds me back when I try to tell you
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
& I don't know what to say
& oh how hard I try to tell you I love you
But something holds me back when I try to tell you

Guess I got what I deserve
Kept you waiting there, too long my love
All that time, without a word
Didn't know you'd think, that I'd forget, or I'd regret
The special love I have for you, my baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize, that I would know, I would show
The special love I have for you, my baby blue
What can I do, what can I say
Except that I want you by my side
How can I show, you, show me a way
Don't you know, the times I tried
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just gets stronger, everyday
Just one thing, before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love, you have for me, my dixie dear

I can tell by the way that you look at me
I can tell pretty baby, because it's plain to see
The way you know, that you hold my hand
Yes, pretty baby I can understand
I can tell, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more
I can tell you've been running around late at night
cuz your hair's all nappy and you look a sight
come on pretty baby and treat me right
love me baby with all of your might
I can tell, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more
