If
You Were A Sailboat
If you were a cowboy i would
trail you,
If you were a piece of wood
id nail you to the floor,
If you were a sailboat i
would sail you to the shore,
If you were a river i would
swim you,
If you were a house i would
live in you all my days,
If you were a preacher i
would begin to change my ways,
Sometimes i belive in fate
but the chances we create always seem to ring more true,
You took a chance on loving
me i took a chance on loving you,
If i was in jail i know
you would spring me,
If i was a telephone i know
you would ring me all day long,
If i was in pain i know
you would sing me soothing songs,
Sometimes i belive in fate
but the chances we create always seem to ring more true,
You took a chance on loving
me i took a chance on loving you,
If i was hungry you would
feed me,
If i was in darkness you
would lead me to the light,
If i was a book i know you
would read me every night,
If you were a cowboy i would
trail you,
If you were a piece of wood
id nail you to the floor,
If you were a sailboat i
would sail you to the shore.

Pickford (Used To Eat Roses)
Mary Pickford used to eat
roses
Thought that they’d make
her beautiful and they did,
One supposes.
Douglas Fairbanks, he was
so handsome,
He wore a moustache,
Must-a had much cash, too,
Worth a king’s ransom,
Charlie Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became
united.
When these artists became
united.
David Griffith worked as
an extra,
Then as a stagehand,
Until they let him be
A director
Dave was brave, a mover and
shaker,
A true pioneer,
He seemed to show no fear,
A real film maker
Just like Chaplin, he was
invited,
When these artists became
united.
When these artists became
united.
They tied the knot together,
Groom and bride couldn’t
hide their pleasure.
They tried to pick fair
weather,
But love died, didn’t last
forever.

All
In My Head
Every night we fall into
bed,
But it’s all in my head.
Every night we fall in a
heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy
things you say,
Blow me away.
Till the next day,
When I find what we did
and we said,
Was all in my head.
Every night you whisper
to me,
This always will be.
Every night you smooth down
my hair,
But you’re not really there.
And darling it seems as
if we know,
Our love will grow.
And then the next day,
I find what we did and we
said,
It was all in my head.
Drowsy, drinking,
I keep thinking,
We’re not far apart.
Scared of waking,
Lonely, aching,
Just me and my hopeless
heart.
Sleeping soundly,
Your arms around me.
Through the night we cruise,
Then I find it’s in my mind,
That you stroke away my
blues.
Every night we fall into
bed,
But it’s all in my head.
Every night we fall in a
heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy
things you say,
Blow me away.

It was all in my head.
It was all in my head.
It was all in my head
Shy Boy
I'm sittin' in the window
of a street café
Watchin' you walking by
each day,
It seems that you always
wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy,
You're such a shy boy.
So good looking you seem
to be
But you're too tongue-tied
to say hi to me,
You could make it happen
so easily
Woah, I'll tell you why
boy,
'Cos I'm looking for a shy
boy
Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling
lies
If you only knew,
You could make your dreams
come true
All you gotta do is ask
me to
If this was a quiz on a
TV show
And the prize was a guy
who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer
I know
Hey, my reply boy
Is gimme a shy boy.
Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling
lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams
come true
All you gotta do is ask
me to
Some guys act a bit too
sure
And maybe you're thinkin'
that less is more
But Honey, you still gotta
knock on my door
Hey, just try boy,
And you could be my boy
I'll tell you why boy
I'm looking for a shy boy,
Just try boy, you're such
a shy boy
Piece By Piece
First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin.
Piece by piece
is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at
a time
One at a time
First of all must fly,
My dreams of you and I,
There's no point of holding
on to those
And then our ties will break,
For your and my own sake,
Just remember,
This is what you chose
Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
will leave my mind one at
a time
One at a time
I'll shed like skin,
Our memories of lazy days,
And fade away the shadow
of your face
Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
Will leave my mind one at
a time
One at a time (x3)
Blues In The Night
My mamma done told me,
when I was in pigtails,
My mamma done told me, Hon,
A man is a two-face
he'll give you the big eye,
And when the sweet talking's
done.
A man is a two-face,
A worrisome thing who'll
leave you to sing,
The blues in the night
Now the rains a-fallin'
hear the trains a-callin',
whooee!
Hear the lonesome whistle
blowin' across the trestle,
whooee
a-whooee-ah-whooee, clickety-clack,
Comes echoing back,
The blues in the night.
From Natchez to Mobile,
from Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds
blow.
I've been in some big towns
and heard me some big talk,
But there is one thing I
know.
A man is a two-face, a worrisome
thing who'll leave you to sing,
The blues in the night
My mamma done told me,
when I was in pig tails,
My mamma done told me, Hon,
a man is a two-face,
he'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talking's
done.

a worrisome thing
who'll leave you to sing,
The blues in the night.

Blue Shoes
These blue shoes seem to
suit me well,
When I feel like hell,
As I do now that you're
gone
Lost and lonely since you
stopped caring,
I've been wearing my new
shoes.
I've been wearing my blue
shoes.
You and I made the perfect
pair,
It don't seem fair,
I loved you more than you
know.
Sorry I'm such a sorry state,
But while I wait for some
good news,
I'll be wearing my blue
shoes.
Don't feel like walking
strong,
Shufflin' along on my way
home.
Trudgin' down that shopping
street,
Where we used to meet.
But I ain't buying.
I'm wearing my blue shoes
and crying.
These blue shoes seem to
suit my sould,
Since you shot that hole.
Since you shot that hole
in my heart
And if I wind up on the
sidewalk bleeding
I won't be needing my new
shoes
Won't be needing my blue
shoes
These blue shoes seem to
suit me well
When I feel like hell,
As I do now that you're
gone
Lost and lonely since you
stopped caring
I've been wearing my new
shoes
I've been wearing my blue
shoes
Thankyou, Stars
Some call it faith, some
call it love.
Some call it guidance from
above.
You are the reason we found
ours,
So thank you stars.
Some people think it's far
away,
Some know it's with them
everyday.
You are the reason we found
ours,
So thank you stars.
There are no winds that
can blow it away on the air,
When they try to blow it
away 's when you know it will always be there.
To some it's the strength
to be apart,
To some it's a feeling in
the heart.
And when you're out there
on your own, it's the way back home.
There are no winds that
can blow it away on the air,
When they try to blow it
away 's when you know it will always be there.
Some call it faith, some
call it love.
Some call it guidance from
above.
You are the reason we found
ours,
So thank you stars.
Thank you stars, (x3)

If
The Lights Go Out
They say the world must
end somehow,
They say the end's not far
from now;
I think they're wrong,
Don't worry your life away,
Start living for today,
Don't think about tomorrow.
And if the lights go out
on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down
like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.
Well I'm gonna try for all
I'm worth,
To stay with you till the
end of the earth.
Don't let me down,
Don't let your feelings
win.
Don't give out, and don't
give in,
Don't think about tomorrow.
Cause if the lights go out
on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down
like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you
And if the lights go out
on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down
like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.
I'll go down with you
What
I Miss About You
Missing the train every
morning at 8:52,
Sipping coffee from the
same cup as you.
The sharing of secrets we
thought no one else knew,
That’s what I miss about
you.
The new way that love had
made me see,
Your bashful grin when you
asked if I would like your key.
The knowing way you used
to caress me,
That’s what I miss about
you.
You stole in with your starry
smile exciting me,
Driving with you in your
new car, feeling free.
If it's true that love is
blind, then I was blind willingly,
You made me feel we had
a future, that could be and would be.
The way you said I’d be no
one on my own,
Your habit of soaking yourself
in over-priced cologne.
The way you turned the light
out when I knew you were home,
That’s what I don’t miss
about you.
I bet you’re using your weary
magic like it’s new,
Driving so fast with a new
fool beside you.
Presumably believing she’s
the last of the lucky few,
I wonder if she knows she’s
being lied to like I do.
The way I only doubted myself
when I was with you,
Like I was a fool for expecting
something from life too.
Your skill of putting me
down in-front of everyone we knew,
That’s what I don’t miss
about you
Nine Million Bicycles
There are nine million bicycles
in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will
love you till I die.
We are twelve billion light
years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's
true
But I know that I will always
be with you.
I'm warmed by the fire of
your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything
that I say
There are six BILLION people
in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite
small
But you're the one I love
the most of all
[INTERLUDE]
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give
me every night
There are nine million bicycles
in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will
love you till I die
And there are nine million
bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will
love you till I die!
Halfway Up The Hindu
Kush
The first time that i saw
you
I said "for goodness sake
That man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake"
I was thrilled and fascinated
But somehow liberated
When you took me to a place
i'd never been.
You showed me lots of things
i'd never seen
You set me free
As if you'd taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu
kush
The next time that i saw
you, you looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet
when i felt it begin to rise
I kinda got the feeling
I was floating to the ceiling
Instead of looking at the
sky
You picked me up and showed
me how to fly
You set me free, as if you'd
taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu
kush
From halfway up the hindu
From halfway up the hindu
From halfway up the hindu
kush
You set me free, as if you'd
taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu
kush
Spider'S Web
If a black man is racist,
is it okay?
When it's the white man's
racism that made him that way,
Because the bully's the
victim they say,
By some sense they're all
the same
Because the line between,
Wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread,
From a spider's web.
The piano keys are black
and white,
But they sound like a million
colours in your mind.
I could tell you to go to
war,
Or I could march for peace
and fighting no more,
How do I know which is right,
And I hope he does when
he sends you to fight.
Because the line between
wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread
from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black
and white,
But they sound like a million
colours in your mind.
Should we act on a blame?
Or should we chase the moments
away?
Should we live?
Should we give?
Remember forever the guns
and the feathers in time.
Because the line between
wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread
from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black
and white,
But they sound like a million
colours in your mind.
The piano keys are black
and white,
But they sound like a million
colours in your mind,
But they sound like a million
colours in your mind
On The Road Again
Well I'm so tired of cryin'
but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well I'm so tired of cryin'
but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
I ain't got no woman just
to call my special friend.
And I'm going to leave the
city, got to go away.
I'm going to leave the city,
got to go away.
All this fussing and fighting,
man I sure can't stay.
You know the first time
I travelled out in the rain and snow
in the rain and snow.
You know the first time
I travelled out in the rain and snow
in the rain and snow.
I didn't have no fellow,
not even no place to go.
And my dear mother left
me when I was quite young
when I was quite young.
And my dear mother left
me when I was quite young
when I was quite young.
She said Lord have mercy
on my wicked son.
Take a hint from me mama
please don't you cry no more
don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me mama
please don't you cry no more
don't you cry no more.
Cause it's soon one morning
down the road I'm gone.
But I ain't going down that
long and lonesome road
all by myself.
But I ain't going down that
long and lonesome road
all by myself.
I can't carry you baby,
gonna carry somebody
Just Like Heaven
Show me how you do that
trick
The one that makes me scream
he said
The one that makes me laugh
he said
And threw his arms around
my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise
that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed
his head
And dreamed of all the different
ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away?
he said
Why won't you ever know
that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you
You, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into
shape
I must have been asleep
for days
And moving lips to breathe
his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy
I loved
And drowned him deep inside
of me
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven
I Do Believe In Love
They say we never landed
on the moon
There's no wind there, they
assume
I guess conspiracies are
nothing new,
But I'm sure I've been there
with you.
And I don't believe that
in space
The only life is here on
earth
How could we be the only
race
That loves and hates 'til
death from birth?
But I do believe in love,
Though I should never rely
on love
Nothing else excites me,
But loving you.
Is it true a politician's
heart
Can rust away and fall apart?
I guess it must be hard,
It must be hard,
To know what's good
and to know what's easy
You might think it's strange,
For all my wild ideas,
But I do not believe that
change,
Can ever happen without
tears.
But I do believe in love,
Though I should never rely
on love
Nothing else excites me,
But loving you
I Cried For You
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade
of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass, the never
pause,
To feel that magic in your
hand
To me you're like a wild
rose
They never understand why
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for
you
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be
a whisper
I'll cross the sea for a
different world,
With your treasure, a secret
for me to hold
In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that
we met,
They may not know
how much you meant to me.
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for
you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be
a whisper
Without you now I see,
How fragile the world can
be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always
stay.
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for
you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be
a whisper
That beauty need only be
a whisper |
