An Innocent Time
Remember when
we were childen
The sweet smell of hay
An innocent time, an innocent time
You picked
the hay out of my hair
I did the same for you
My friend my dearest friend
Here’s
kisses for your eyes
To see a brand new day
Feels just like floating on high
Remember when
we were childen
The sweet smell of hay
An innocent time, an innocent time

Birthday Blues
How old are you now dear and
what did you get
Old news new news good news bad news
Same old birthday blues

She said that
sex is just a bore
She said that sex is just a chore
Like cleaning out the loo and the kitchen sink
There must be more to life she says
Than waiting for your weekly pay
And then she asks me “hey what do you think?’
You should
leave your man and make another choice
There are more fish in the sea
And if you hate your job just chuck that in as well
Just break the chains and you’ll be free.
I use to feel
the same as you
For years not knowing what to do
It took some time to finelly work it out
You’ve only got one life to live
So give it all you’ve got to give
Forget about your troubles and your doubts
And if you
feel that where you’re living brings you down
You could move to Tennessee
Start a new life from a different point of view
Just break the chains anmd you’ll be free
She said that
sex is just a bore
She said that sex is just a chore
Like cleaning out the loo and the kitchen sink

Broken through,
broken through
Broken through, broken through
How ‘bout you
I’ve
broken through the bitter circle
Broken through
I’ve must have been a fool to follow the rules
Broken through
‘cause I’ve got a feeling that’s blowing my mind
Broken through
and I want to be with her most all of the time
Broken
through, broken through
Broken through, broken through
How ‘bout you
Shaking at the
knees I felt the palpitation
Broken through
Felt like I could over throw the whole nation
Broken through
All I know it was really good feeling
Broken through
(she) sent me rocking, she sent me reeling
Broken through,
broken through
Broken through, broken through
How ‘bout you
Secret place
inside of me growing
Hiding away what I should be showing
No more acting, I’ve got to be true
Babe don’t you know I’m in love with you
It feels real
good to be out in the open
Broken through
I know it won’t last but here’s to hopeing
Broken through
That you ain’t been fooled or taken in
Broken through
‘cause when you’re in love you know it aint no sin
Broken through

By
Chance
By chance I saw her yesterday
I don’t know if she recognized me
She turn her head away
I guess she didn’t want to see
What had become of me.
She was my piller she was my post
She lead me thouth the wilderness
I thought she would at least
Give me a knowing smile but she just
Maybe to many years have passed her by
Maybe shes seen to many tears
But I remember her how could I ever forget
Those tender years
By chance I saw her again
I don’t know if she recoggnized me
She turned her head away
I guess she didn’t want to see
That’s the way its gotta be
She might as well of been a total stranger
I couldn’t bring myself to say hello
But when you talk to an old time friend
You should just let the conversation flow
By chance I saw her yesterday
I don’t know if she recognized me
Or just didn’t want to see
Now it makes my saddness show
makes my saddness show

Caroline, Caroline

I need your help
I need your confidence
I need your help
And your experience
Don’t need to explain to you
You know what I must do
‘bout the sun and the morning dew

Dreary Day
To fall in love
Dreary Day
To fall in love
It started on a
rainy day
Cold and miserable, soaked right to the skin
And as usual it was blowing my way
I was getting cold, I was growing old
And I felt that love had passed me by
passed me by
Dreary Day
To fall in love
When I first saw
you it made me forget
All the pain from the past, disapperared so fast
And I was set to fall in love again
It was raining love again
Dreary Day
To fall in love
If you want to
break my heart
I just don’t want to know you no more
If you want to break my heart
I just don’t want to know you no more
Dreary Day
To fall in love
Dreary Day
To fall in love

Drummer playing timeless beat
But he won’t get me on my feet
Tuneless singer tuneless song
I wish my day dream hadn’t gone
But here’s a break and I think I’ll
make though another lonely song
Reminds me of so many things, there for three minutes then it’s
gone
Drummer playing timeless beat
But he won’t get me on my feet
Tuneless singer tuneless song
I wish my day dream hadn’t gone
Like my love for you, like your love for me,
like our favarvate song
Like the anger in your eyes, or the calm before the strome
Drummer playing timeless beat
But he won’t get me on my feet
Tuneless singer tuneless song
I wish my day dream hadn’t gone
Like my love for you, like your love for me,
like our favarvate song
Like the beauty in your eyes or the times when I was wrong
Drummer playing timeless beat
But he won’t get me on my feet
Tuneless singer tuneless song
I wish my day dream hadn’t gone
Like my love for you, like your love for me,
like our favarvate song
Like the anger in your eyes, there for three minutes then it’s
gone

Each Little Tear has it’s song, but
then it’s
Wiped away and forever it has gone
Each Little Tear has it’s song, but then it’s wiped
away and forever it has gone
You say you’re leaving as you walk out
the door
You packed your bags just an hour ago
You say leaving and this time’s for good
Why didn’t you let me know before
What ever happened, to the vow we made
To stick together though thick and thin
Thought all the good times and bad times too
Don’t all the scrapes we’ve been though mean a thing?
One day I caught you crying over being so in
love
You said that every tear just like raindrops came from high above
Now you tell me when it’s far to late
That you feel that I’ve been holding you down
You kiss my cheek I say, see you around
You, say, I won’t see you around
‘cause you’re leaving town.

Ain’t no-one in
this world going to give you a helping hand
when you’re falling fast
The faster you fall the longer they’re going to last
Well they’ll
love you and they’ll leave you andstay with you a while
then they’ll let you drop
Better get out the way ‘cause they want to reach the top
It’s called the
fame game that’s what it is
More rugged and ruthless than the great out doors out west\
It’s called the fame game that’s what it is
Everybody wants to be the best
Is there something
up there they want to try and possess
that makes them want to act that way
‘cause they say if you’re standing still sister you’re
back in yesterday
They’ll kick you in the teeth and stab you in the back
enough to make you whine
What do you expect no one wants to be last in line
It’s called the
fame game that’s what it is
More rugged and ruthless than the great out doors out west
It’s called the fame game that’s what it is
Everybody wants to be the best
Everybody wants to be the best
Everybody wants to be the best

Heaven knows you
keep me on my toes
Heaven knows you keep me on my toes
Heaven knows you keep me on my toes
Heaven knows you keep me on my toes
You tell me that
you love me
Then you say that you don’t
I don’t understand, I just don’t understand
Phone me up in the middle of the night
Just to say hello
I don’t understand, I just don’t understand
Heaven knows you
keep me on my toes
Heaven knows you keep me on my toes
Heaven knows you keep me on my toes
Heaven knows you keep me on my toes
You tell me that
you’re leaving, and you’re never comeing back
I don’t understand, I just don’t understand
Never know, what to belive of what you say
Say you’re going away
Well I believe you’re going to stay

Here we go, it’s
the end of another show
The end of a night on the town
Don’t you hurry, we’re right on time
Don’t you worry, it’s going to turn out fine
Thanks very much,
your songs have left me deeply touched
I don’t know how I could ever repay you
Well that’s ok. I’m glad I’ve made your day
Just buy a tape or two, that’s all I ask of you
You made me smile,
just a like I was a child
I don’t think I wll ever forget this night
Time just goes on by , leaves you high and dry
Still you won’t be here, but your music says you care
Looks like rain,
won’t you make me laugh again
I haven’t laughed like this in such a long time
We’ll have so much fun, sing and dance laugh and run
Ah but it’s never done, I guess I’m reaching for the
sun
I just don’t
know, good times always come and go
Just the ups and downs of life I guess
My hopeds were high, I’II never ever learn
To have a daily cry, for you till you return.

She
makes me happy, oh so happy, how can love be wrong?
We step together, in perfect timing, how can love be wrong?
And when she holds me tightly, it feels so good so right
She knows I’m crazy, and still she loves me, how can love be
wrong?
She
listens to me, and makes no judgement, how can love be wrong?
Forever changing, we grow together, how can love be wrong?
She’ll always be a special lady, and stay inside my heart.
The world may bruise us, we heal each other, how can love be
wrong?
What
would you do if you just fell in love
I’ve been hiding my feelings for to long
I only know that what I feel is real
Together we belong
She
makes my heartbeat, a little faster. how can love be wrong?
And when I’m with her, time has no meaning, how can love be
wrong?
And if I die tomorrow, I won’t of lived in vain
She makes me happy, oh so happy, how can love be wrong?
how can love be wrong?

Though I can’t say, how I feel
Words just simply fail me
Since my heart betrayed me
I don’t know what’s real
Time goes by, still we try
Even when we cry
I love you
even though I can’t say
I love you
Please don’t go away, say you’ll stay
If you stay know
Love will grow
Though I can’t say, how I feel
Words just simply fail me
Since my heart betrayed me
I don’t know what’s real

I feel
a song coming on
All of my doubts they have gone
And when I’m falling like an autumn leaf
You will hear the childen singing
All the songs you use to sing
Singing songs for the future
Singing songs of the past
I feel
a song coming on
Nothing I do seems to go wrong
And when I’m falling in your arms again
You will find that you have lost yur heart
And you’re going down.
I feel
a song coming on
All of my fears they have gone
And when I’m falling like an autumn leaf
I will find that I have lost my heart
And I’m going down

I saw a girl that looked like you in
a crowded London street
She was sitting on the pavement looking
Sad and a litte weak
A little dirty and bearly dressed with
Misery in the eyes
With silent tongue that begged for sympathy
Sheter and more than the city lies
And the more in looked at her
The more that I though
Will you be as her and be caught
In the rush of the rapids, sallowed by the
Waves, and find you have no more strength
To swin against the tide.
Like you she had a beauty that was more
Than just skin deep the price of the
City for her had been to dear
A price that I would have gladly payed
For you or her anyday
But when I reach out a helping hand
You both just fade away
Her cry for help was accompanyed by a
Stream of lonely tears her hair her hair
Her dark brown hair was just like yours
In the rush of the rapids sallowed
By the waves finding that you have no
Strength to swin against the tide.

I sent you
a letter two months ago
Since you ain’t replied I guess you just don’t want to
know
The plants
you gave me are still growing strong
Even though the days are short and the nights so very long
Another
winter but it’s colder than the last
Everything I think of seems to come up from the past
I miss
your humour your laugh your human touch
I guess I shouldn’t think of that anymore it makes me miss
yoi much to much
I sent you
a letter two months ago
Since you ain’t replied I guess you just don’t want to
know

I
wish
I wish there was
something I could do, to ease your pain
I wish there was something I could do, but all you see is rain
When tomorrow comes I
shall remember today
You were here with me but now you’ve gone far away
I wish there was
something I could do, to ease your pain
I wish there was something I could do, but all you see is rain

I’m in
league with a fallen angel
Who came to me last night
She told me that they had thrown her out
‘cause she couldn’t do nothing right
But as far as I’m
concerned
She’s done alright by me
She’s helped me in my troubled time
And set my spirit free
She’s a bit shook up but she’s been kind to me
She told me
that she loved me
And that her heart was true
She said that she loves everone
And that’s including you
When I woke up
this morning and saw that she had gone
I wondered if it was because I had done something wrong
But now I realize why she left me all alone
She has to search this whole wide world to find herself a home
But as far as I’m
concerned
She’s done alright by me
She’s helped me in my troubled time
And set my spirit free
Now she’s gone I’m as lonely as can be
But as far as I’m
concerned
She’s done alright by me
She’ll travel round forever
Till her spirit has been freed

I’ve
never climbed a mountian
And I’ve never seen a shooting star
I’ve
newer seen a redwood tree,
And I haven’t felt the breeze come off the Atlantic sea
I’ve
never made a daisy chian
And I’ve never flown an aeroplane
I’ve
never heard a robin sing
And I’ve never had a wedding ring
I
won’t say goodbye
‘cause I’m not ready to die, quite yet
I’ve
never grown a daffodil
And I’ve never had the chance to see Brazil
I’ve
never been an acrobat
And I’ve never been much of a diplomat
I”ve
never met an Eskismo
And I know I’ve got so very far to go
I
won’t say goodbye
‘cause I’m not ready to die, quite yet
I’ve
never played a piccolo
And I’ve never said I love you so.

I’ve
got bad news
Time is runnung out
I’ve got bad news
It’s time to rasie your fist and shout
You got
to stop the city
Before it stops you
You got to stop the city
Now you know what you’ve got to do
Can’t
you see, that the river’s running dry
Can’t you see, the sun’s starting to cry
It’s just the blind leading the blind
And time is runing out

If you don’t love me anymore
Well that’s alright by me
‘cause I’ve know heartaches
and I’ve know pain
If that’s how it’s menat to be, then let it be
And the childen they still love me
And I know they love you to
They’ll understand
In years to come
But for now they’ll just blame you, what can I do?
Last night I couldn’t sleep, for sound of sobbing
I cried until I felt that I might drown
‘cause losing you is more than losing loving
It’s seemed although the world turned upside down

You start off
with a sunny day
Some time round
June or May
And then you add
some scenery
You add a little
greenery
Instant love,
instant love
Two people whos
been hurt by love
So it’s the
last thing they thing of
Until old Cupid
steps right in
Then they both
wear a silly grin
Instant love,
instant love
Well this scene
could be anywhere
So don’t you
think that nobody cares
‘cause love
will take you by surprise
When suddenly you
see those eyes
Instant love,
instant love
You start off
with a sunny day
Some time round
June or May
And then you add
some scenery
You add a little
greenery
Instant love,
instant love

Working
hard in school
Obeying all the rules
It’s a waste of time you’ll find
I don’t mean to shatter your illusions
But brother it’s a waste of time
Abandoning
the mob
Looking for a job
A job you’ll never find
I don’t mean to shatter your illusions
But brother it’s a waste of time
When
I was younger
I wanted to be
An airplane pliot
I had all the books
I had all the magazines
But I found out, got wise to thir game
They’re crooks, cheart, lier
That put an end to my foolish dreams
Working
hard in school
Obeying all the rules
It’s a waste of time you’ll find
I don’t mean to shatter your illusions
But brother it’s a waste of time
