R E P E  R T O R I O

 

Muchos fans han escrito y preguntado quién realmente escribió y compuso las canciones de Supertramp . Por lo tanto, nuestra intención es ayudar a darse cuenta quienes de los compositores actuales estaban detrás de las canciones clásicas de " Supertramp ", de modo que cuando oyes la voz de Roger , " una de las voces más reconocidas en la historia del rock ", le reconocerás como Roger Hodgson, el cantautor y compositor de las canciones que amamos.

 

Las canciones que Roger canta a las que a menudo se les refiere como canciones de Supertramp son canciones que Roger escribió y compuso solo - así es como él crea música. A menudo nace la composición musical primero, luego las letras vienen . A veces siente toda la canción completa dentro de sí mismo .

 

Roger escribió y compuso las siguientes canciones . Él es la voz que has estado escuchando todos estos años y la voz que todo el mundo ama . Roger grabó algunas de sus canciones con Supertramp y muchas de ellas se han convertido en la banda sonora de nuestras vidas. Aunque Roger y Rick Davies compartieron los créditos como escritores, en realidad escribieron y compusieron por separado.

 

Hemos preparado la siguiente lista de creaciones de Roger . ~

LOGICAL SONG

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am

Now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable

At night when all the world's asleep
The questions run soo deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am

DREAMER

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
OH NO!

GIVE A LITTLE BIT

Ooh, yeah
Alright
Here we go again
Hey, hey, oh, oh
Nah, nah, hey, hey
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care

I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be surprised

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home

Going home
Don't you need, don't you need to feel at home?
Oh yeah, we gotta sing
...

Come along too
For the long run
Come a long way
Oh, sing it tonight

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
all the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
you take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
oh, calamity, is there no way out?

Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what might have been,
if you'd had more time.

So, when the day comes to settle down,
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home...........

BREAKFAST IN AMERICA

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have ´em in Texas
Cos everyone's a millionaire

I´m a winner, I´m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I´m a loser what a joker
I´m playing my jokes upon you
While there´s nothing better to do

Don´t you look at my girlfriend
She´s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do.

IT'S RAINING AGAIN

Oh, it's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end
Oh no, it's raining again
And you know it's hard to pretend

Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend
Oh no, it's raining again
Oh will my heart ever mend

You're old enough some people say
To read the signs and walk away
It's only time that heals the pain
And makes the sun come out again

It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend

C'mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C'mon you little fighter
And get back up again

It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend

C'mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C'mon you little fighter
And get back up again
Oh, get back up again
Oh, feel your heart again

SCHOOL

I can see you in the morning
When you go to school
Don't forget your books,
You know you've got to learn the golden rule.
Teacher tells you stop your play
 and get on with your work,
And to be like Johnnie too good.
Don't you know he never shrinks,

he's coming along
After school is over
Your playing in the park,
Don't be out too late
Don't let it get too dark.
They tell you not to hang around
And learn what life's about
And grow up just like them,
Won't let you work it out
And you're full of doubt
Maybe I'm mistaken
Expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy
I don't know wrong from right.

But while I'm still living
I've just got this to say
It's always up to you, if you want to be that,
Want to see that, want to see it that way.
Don't do this and don't do that
What are they tryin' to do ?
Make a good boy of you,
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticise they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to,
Don't want the devil to,
Come and pull out your eyes.
You're coming along

 

DON'T LEAVE ME NOW

Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
And the shadows start to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I'm old and cold and grey and time is gone...

HIDE IN YOUR SHELL

Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain, making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell, was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?
Shelter behind, painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a stranger
Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You're waiting for someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet

(You've got demons in your closet)
And you're screaming out to stop it

(And you're screaming out to stop it)
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know

All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I, as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening, the fire's getting colder
Too beautiful to think you're getting older
You're looking for someone to give an answer
But what you see is just illusion (What you see is just illusion)
You're surrounded by confusion (You're surrounded by confusion)
Saying, life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I've got to know
I wanna know you, I wanna know you, well let me know you
I wanna feel you, I wanna touch you, please let me near you,

let me near you
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'
I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why d'ya hold yourself down?
Why don't you listen, you can trust me
(So what, you're gonna take it to?) There's a place I know the way to
(So what, you're gonna make it do?) A place there is need (So what's he gonna...) to feel you (So what's he gonna...)
Feel that you're all alone (So what's he gonna do?)
Oh won't you hear me (So what, you're gonna take it to?)
I know exactly what you're feelin' (So what, you're gonna make it do?)
Cos all your troubles are within you (So what's he gonna...)
So begin to (So what's he gonna...) see that I'm just bleeding to (So what's he gonna do?)
Love me, love you (So what, you're gonna take it to?)
Loving is the way to help me, help you

(So what, you're gonna make it do?)
Why must we be so cool (So what's he gonna...), oh so cool?

(So what's he gonna...)
Oh, we're such damn fools (So what's he gonna do?)
(So what, you're gonna take it to?)

(So what, you're gonna make it do?)
(So what's he gonna...) (So what's he gonna...)

(So what's he gonna do?)

FOOL'S OVERTURE

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late," the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky

Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home

So tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know

Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
"Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie,
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie"
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
"Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy,
Yeah!"

LORD, IS IT MINE?

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
You show me there's a silent place that I can call my own

Is it mine, Lord is it mine ?

You know I get so weary from the battles in this life
and many times it seems that you`re the only hope in sight

Is in mine, Lord is it mine ?

When everything`s dark and nothing seems right
there`s nothing to win and there`s no need to fight.

I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land
but it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand

Is it mine, Lord is it mine ?

When everything`s dark and nothing seems right
You don`t have to win and there`s no need to fight

If only I could find a way
to feel your sweetness through the day
The love that shines around me could be mine

So give us an answer won`t you
We know hat we have to do
There must be a thousand voice trying
to get through.

EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS

Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew what I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well I feel the rain --- here it comes again, dear
And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For there's a shadow of doubt that's not letting me find you too soon
The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Oh Lord, I want to be with you.
Won't you let me come in from the cold?

Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun be leaving
Won't you come to me soon

And even though the stars are listening
And the ocean's deep, I just go to sleep
And then I create a silent movie
You become the star, is that what you are, dear?
Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling I'm Nature's own little boy
But still the tears keep falling
They're raining from the sky
Well there's a lot of me got to go under before I get high

Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun be leaving
No, you can't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord no, don't go...

And even when the song is over
Where have I been --- was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin --- may I please come in, dear?

CHILD OF VISION

Well, who do you think you`re foolin`?
You say you`re havin fun,
But you`re busy going nowhere,
Just lyin' in the sun.

You tried to be a hero,
commit the perfect crime
but the dollar got you dancing
and you`re running out of time.

You`re messin`up the water
You`re rollin`in the wine
You`re poisoning your body
You`re poisoning your mind
You gave me Coca-Cola
You said it tasted good
You watch the television
It tells you that you should

How can you live in this way ?
-(Why do you think it`s so strange ?)
You must have something to say
-(Tell me why I should change ?)
There must be more than this life.
It`s time we did something right.

Child of Vision, won`t you listen
Find yourself a new ambition.

I`ve heard it all before
You`re saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
but I guess it wasn`t true
You cannot make me listen
I cannot make you hear
You find your way to heaven
I`ll meet you when you`re there.

How can you live in this way?
-(Why do you think it`s so strange ?)
You must have something to say
-(Tell me why I should change)
We have no reason to fight
cos we both know that we`re right

Child of Vision, won`t you listen
Find yourself a new ambition.

 

IF EVERYONE WAS LISTENING

The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain
And no-one's quite certain whose play it is
How long ago, how long
If only we had listened then.
If we'd known just how right we were going to be.
For we dreamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.

If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall

Well, what is your costume today?
Who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
Was an honest one.
Well how do you plead?
An actor indeed!
Go re-learn your lines,
You don't know what you've done
The finale's begun.

If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show,
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall.

A SOAPBOX OPERA

I hear, only what I want to hear
But, I have to believe in something
Have to believe in just one thing
I said Father Washington, you're all mixed up
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool
There's something missing when I need your rules

Well hey there, You tell me you're a holy man
But, although I'm just a beginner
I don't see you as a winner
I said, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
If I could tell you what you need to know
If I could help you to get on with the show

Reverend Ebenezer, there's a storm in my head
Makes me hear what you said, just was it true?
So, what have I to do?
Well, what has he to do?
Oh, what is there to do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for
'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river
Have you a son to deliver
I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
You tell the children what they need to know
But will they listen when it's time to go

Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all wound up
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
Can someone tell me what I need to know
Can someone help me to get on with the show

 

ROSIE HAD EVERYTHING PLANNED

Acting upon information received
Rosie had everything planned
Stood in a garden with a shotgun in hand
What a woman

Whilst entertaining the headlines next day
Rosie would not be released
If it was found that her man was deceased
Silly woman

Oh but Rosie, a girl with a strange kind of humor
Stupidly took in a rumour
Making her think that she'd lost
Double-crossed by a man who was dear

Stood in the garden and shaking her head
Rosie could not understand
Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand
Sad, sad woman

Oh but Rosie, how could a few words have made her
Certain that he had betrayed her
Making her think that she'd lost
Double-crossed by a man who was still very near to her

Row upon row of angel hair
Rosie had everything planned
Sure that the people would not understand
Sad, sad woman

TWO OF US

Look at me I'm a speck of sand,
And I'm building ,dreams in a strangers land
Tell me why do I care
Tell me why do I care.

Every time that I'm feeling down, oh they,
Pick me up and they spin me round.
Tell me where do we go,
Tell me where do we go from here.

What are we gonna find out (find out)
What are we gonna find out (find out)
Leave the wilderness, and as long as there's dreams,
Just as long as there's two of us,
Just as long as there's two of us, I'll carry on

Won't you hold me

When is man gonna find out (find out)
When are we gonna find out (find out)
What the universe is just waiting to here,
Just as long as there's two of us
Just as long as there's two of us
Just as long as there's two of us,
We'll carry on.

 

 

 

 

ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU

And so we sail towards the dawn
Joining those who gently mourn for you
It's only because of you
Friends may come and friends may go
The only friend I need to know is you
It's only because of you
Mighty castles, lonely kings
Hear the ragged children sing it's you
It's only because of you
He who smiles at lofty schemes
Stems the tide of broken dreams is you
It's only because of you
It's only because of you

And when the storms have died away
Only truth will live to say it's you
It's only because of you
And when the darkness flies away
Only love will shine to say it's true
It's only because of you
It's only because of you

IN JEOPARDY

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I feel I'm about to cry
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me the reason why
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I'm watching the feeling grow
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me I want to know
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, the writing is on the wall
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I can't seem to sleep at all
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we utter a lonely cry
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, who cares if we live or die

Who's in your mind
Who's in your conscience
Part of the crime
Part of the nonsense
Do what we can
Pray for tomorrow
Living our lives
Watching, waiting, feeling as much as we can

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, so where is the golden age
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we're ready to turn the page
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, it's getting so out of hand
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I wish I could understand

Who's in your mind
Who's in your conscience
Part of the crime
Part of the nonsense
Do what we can
Pray for tomorrow
Living our lives
Watching, waiting, feeling as much we can

Who's in your mind
Who's in your conscience
Part of the crime
Part of the nonsense
Do what we can
Sing for tomorrow
Living our lives
Watching, waiting, working, playing, singing,
dancing, running as fast as we can.

BABAJI

All of my life I felt that you were listening
Watching for ways to help me stay in tune
Lord of my dreams
Although confusion keeps trying to deceive
Oh, what is it that makes me believe in you?

Babaji, oh won't you come to me
Won't you help me face the music
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Help us to find it before we lose it
At night when the stars are near
And there's no one to keep you from coming here
And there's no one to shield me before your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?

I can see, it's not too good to me
To be afloat in the sea of glory
Oh Babaji, oh how you comfort me
By showing me it's a different story
Your light in the dark is real
And I know that you know it is how I feel
When I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?

Babaji, have you a song for me
To tell the world of its guardian angel
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Oh must you always remain a stranger?
At night when the stars are near
And I long for delusion to disappear
Then I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it time, Is it time, Is it time, Is it time
Is it time, Is it time, Is it time to know
oh, oh, oh

I said I'm calling you Babaji - Babaji
I said I'm calling you Babaji - Babaji
oh-oh, sing it Bababji - Babaji
Can you hear me Babaji - Babaji

 

HAD A DREAM

Had a dream I was born
To be naked in the eye of the storm
And now it's standing right in front of me
What's it going to do to me, who knows,
Had a dream it was time
To be taken to the front of the line
Well that is not a place you wanna be
Sleeping with the enemy, you know

I don't care what the future brings
Give a damn about anything
I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone.
But it's time - gotta take a stance
'Cause I won't get a second chance
And I know now I have to make it alone

Had a dream it was war
And they couldn't tell me what it was for
But it was something they could lie about
Something we could die about, you know
Anytime, anyplace
When you look that man in the face
Well it is not a face you wanna see
Sleeping with the enemy, you know

Mary, can you hear me
Can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean
Holding out a photograph of all that I have seen
I wish I could hold you
I wish I could hold you

Had a dream it was time
To be a witness at the scene of the crime
Well, That is something you can analyse
Something you can criticise, who knows
So we wait, hesitate
And we're making such a mistake
Oh whatever can the matter be
Sleeping with the enemy, you know

I don't care what the future brings
Give a damn about anything
I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone
But it's time, gotta take a stance
'Cause I won't get a second chance
And I know now I have to make it alone

OPEN THE DOOR

Who's to say, who's to know, where the ship is going to blow 

Taking time beneath the trees, State of mind, state of ease 


Easy come, easy go, what a life, what a show, 

Caught in old familiar ways, has our love gone astray?... 

Gone away?...gone away?... 


Open the door ... Open the door 

Open the door-I want to be with you 

Open the door-I want to play with you 


Do what you want to, be who you want to be 

'Cause I don't care what you say or what you do to me 

I'm having trouble going a whole day without you 

Don't want to live if it's a lifetime without you 

Come on give me some sing I can see 

Come on give me now-show me something 


Open the door-I want to be with you 

Open the door-I want to play with you 

Open the door-I want to dream with you 

Open the door-I want to stay with you now...

Right, right on, easy come, easy come -easy go-easy come 

And I know, yes I know that I'm wanting the world to be one 

But we take as we please and we can't see the wood for the trees

But I know, yes I know when I open the door I'll be home 

I want to go home, I want to go home... 


Right, right on, easy come, Easy come-easy go-easy come 

And I know, yes I know That I'm wanting the world to be one 

But we take as we please And we can't see The wood for the trees 

But I know, yes I know When I open the door I'll be free 

I want to go free, I want to go home... 


Open the door-I want to be with you 

Open the door-I want to play with you 

Open the door-I want to dream with you 

Open the door-I want to stay with you now... 


Do what you want to, be who you want to be 

Cause I don't care what you say or what you do to me 

I'm having trouble going a whole day without you 

Don't want to live if it's a lifetime without you 

Come on give me some sign I can see 

Come on give me now-show me something 


Who's to say, who's to know

 

SISTER MOONSHINE

Oh, when I was a small boy
Well, I could see the magic in a day
Oh, but now I'm just a poor boy
Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay
If you lock your dreams away
If no one wants to listen, what's the story?

I wish I'd been a minstrel
Just think of all the maidens I could call
Oh, I wish I'd been a gypsy
Then maybe I could read the crystal ball
'Cause surrounded by these walls
Just makes me feel uneasy

I said hey, Sister Moonshine
Won't you send me a little sun
I said hey, Sister Moonshine
I'm a stranger to everyone
So make us all laugh
Make us all cry
Make us all give
Make us all try
Give us a secret
Show us a light
Strike up the music
Light up the sky

Oh, if I was a lion
Well, I could be the king of all the plains
Oh, and if is was an eagle
Well, maybe I could fly above the rain
Oh, fly above the pain
But I know I'm only foolin'

I said hey, Sister Moonshine
Won't you send me a little sun
I said hey, Sister Moonshine
I'm a stranger to everyone
So make us all laugh
Make us all cry
Make us all give
Make us all try
Give us a secret
Show us a light
Strike up the music
Light up the sky

I said hey, Sister Moonshine
I said hey, Sister Moonshine
I said hey, Sister Moonshine
I said hey, I said hey, Sister Moonshine

C'EST LE BON

I never knew what a man was supposed to be
I never wanted the responsibility
I still remember what they tried to make of me
They used to wonder what they couldn’t get through to me,
’cauce all that I had as this music
A-coming to me
And all that I had was this rhythm
A-running through me.

I took a tip from the man in the ministry
He said, my son, better work in the factory
Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding up in the military
So lucky to have all this music
A-coming to me
I’m lucky to have all this rhythm
A-running through me
I’m watching the movie go down
Around, about me
I’m watching the marry-go-round
Go down about me.

I said, lovers, you’re needed in the garden
’cauce there’s a lot of crazy people
Who’ve forgotten where their heart is
And they don’t give a damn
About hurting those flowers and those trees.
C’est le bon, sailing on and on...

Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me
Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me
Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding up in the monastery

’cauce all that I have is this music
A-coming to me
And all that I have is this rhythm
A-running through me
I’m watching the movie go down
Around, about me
I’m watching the marry-go-round
Go down about me.

I said, lovers, you’re needed in the garden
’cauce there’s a lot of crazy people
Who’ve forgotten where their heart is
And they don’t give a damn
About hurting that small child in me.
C’est le bon, sailing on and on...

 

THE MEANING

Why are we here?

 

Just look at the comfort that you call your home
Just kidding yourself that you're never alone
Well, maybe there's something
There's one thing you shouldn't have said
So, you better beware

And you better get
And you better get light in your head
And you better get
And you better get peace in your bed
If you wanna get
If you wanna get high

You're watching the movie go blistering by
Just look at the sadness, I wish I could die
Well, maybe there's something
There's one thing that I should have said
Well, it better be said

Is the reckoning
Is the reckoning holding your heart?
It's beginning to
It's beginning to squeeze you apart
Don't you wanna get
Don't you wanna get high

You're holding the world in the palm of your hand
What you're tellin' your children you don't understand
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
Meaning is
Meaning is
Meaning is

Oh, you better beware

And you better get
And you better get light in your head
And you better get
So you better get peace in your bed
If you wanna get
If you wanna get high

Just look at the madness that glows in your eyes
Frightened the children will steal your disguise
If you know what the meaning is...

...

LADY

Lady, you come across the water
Well don't you think you ought to
Be waiting a while
Are you acting
On what your heart has told you
Is nothing gonna hold you
From flying away, a-ha
Flying away a-ha
Flying away

'Cause there's nowhere to go
Though the road is out stretching before you
And the farther you go
I said, Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
I said, Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad
Oh-no

Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah

Mister, you better get a move on
You better get a fix on
Mmm, you better walk straight
I said Lady, oh take me if you want me
Oh take me as you find me
Oh, I'm needing your love so bad
I'm needing your love so bad
I'm needing your love

And there's nowhere to go
though the road is out stretching before you
and the farther you go
I said, Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
I said, Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us
And you like what you feel
But I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit sad
Just a little bit
Just a little bit

Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la-la
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah

WHO'S AFRAID

Who believes in magic?
Who's afraid of the wolf?
Who believes it's tragic-
Living life by the book?

I see daylight coming
In the Eastern sky
Oh my love awaken
Oh my love don't die

Who's afraid of madness?
Who's afraid of the moon?
Who's afraid of sadness-
Afraid of being alone?

I can feel it coming
In the Eastern sky
Oh my love don't hurt me
Oh my love don't die

Summer comes like a lady
With her charms, cool and shady
Wrap around, never let me go
let me know...

Who's afraid of winter?
Who's afraid of the dark?
Who's afraid of aging?
Afraid of losing their spark?

I can feel it coming
In the Northern Sky
Oh love don't desert me
Oh my love don't die

Summer comes like a lady
With her charms, cool and shady
Wrap around, never let me go
let me know...

Summer comes like a lady
With her charms, cool and shady
Wrap around, oh my love come lie
Dont be shy...

DEATH AND A ZOO

Hey what would you do
Caught between Death, Death and a zoo?
What if your world was stuck in cage-
Would you feel rage boy?
Caught in a crossfire
Stung by the cold wire
Would it feel lonely?

Hey what would you give
So that your heart in freedom could live?
What if your love was stuck in a cage
Hey don't you feel rage boy?
Caught in a landslide
Where does the child hide?
Oh does he feel lonely?

So cold on the inside
Where does the Sun hide?
Oh don't it feel lonely? lonely

Caught in a man's dream
Silent the heart scream
Don't it feel lonely?

DON'T YOU WANT TO GET HIGH

When will you walk through my door, when will the clouds disappear
When will the story unfold, when will there be no more tears
'Cause it's okay, you say "Don't you want to get, don't you want to get high"
Sing Lord knows, let go...don't you want to get, don't you want to get high
Smile though the world feels so cold, sing though there's no one to hear
Dream so the story unfolds, laugh so there'll be no more fear
'Cause it's okay, you say "Don't you want to get, don't you want to get high"
Sing Lord knows, let go...don't you want to get, don't you want to get high
Lord there's a way, you know we'll say today...don't you want to get, don't you want to get high"
Sing Lord there's a way, your love will save the day
Don't you want to get, don't you want to get high

LAND HO

Dreaming nothing to do
Dreaming nothing to say
Can i say there’s nothing to dream about
Or something keep us moving away?

I said land ho, will i be sailing forever?
Oh-oh i need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will i be dreaming forever?
Oh-oh i gotta find an anchor for my soul

Wind is all far i can see
When i’m feeling to strife
For days something that’s calling me
Oh, somethig that’s so hard to find

I said land ho, will i be sailing forever?
Oh-oh i guess i feel my ship is getting old
Land ho, will i be dreaming forever?
Oh-oh i gotta find an anchor for my soul

I said, when you're alone there's not a sail in sight
There’s a great sky and you may just try to take life
There once was a lady made me feel alright
But she couldn't stay, she just sailed away
Now this only waves to see me through the night

Maybe i'll always be sad
And maybe there'll always be strife
Drifting alone with a saddened tone
Afloat on the ocean of life

I said land ho, you’re sailing ship on forever?
Oh-oh i need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will i be searching forever?
Oh-oh, i gotta find an anchor for my soul

Will i be sealing forever?
Will i be dreaming forever?
Will i be searching forever?
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever

SAY GODBYE

Say goodbye to the old way
Say hello to a new day
Well if you want to linger, a trail a finger
It'll only leave you wondering
Want the future might have been

Say goodbye to the old scene
Say hello to a new dream
You say you want your freedom, but is it freedom
When you leave it all behind you
But your mind just can't let go? oh no

When the news is known and you hear those cries
Then waves of sadness will fill your eyes
You're alone as an island
Alone as a man can be

Say goodbye to the old days
Say hello to a new ways
Well if you want to linger, trail a finger
Just remember what was told you
out the way it's going to be, you'll see..

You're alone as an island
Alone as a man must be

Say goodbye to the old way
Say hello to a new day
Well if you want your freedom
Oh where's your freedom?
On the road that lies before you
That is all you need to know, let go...

THE GARDEN

Walk around the garden
Choking at the weeds
Won't you come and help me
Try and sow some seeds

All the trees are weeping,
Branches hanging low
Seems as if they know that
They haven't long to go

All the world's a funfair
Hide behind your mask
Say that you're enjoying it
If anybody ask

Don't believe in sinners,
Don't believe in sin
Love is all the answers
So why don't we begin

Taking up the story that Jesus told
It's older than the years
All the seeds he planted have blossomed
Into concrete walls of fear

Lying in the gutter,
Gazing at the stars
Like to send a letter
To the men on Mars

Asking if they'd help us,
Help us if they cold
Come and weed this garden
Or do you think they should?

YOU MAKE ME LOVE YOU

Alright, you make me love you
It's alright, you make me love you
I said alright, you make me love you
It's alright, you make me love you

When the winter wind in a-blowing'
Well you never know where it's goin'
For the skies are dark and the clouds are rollin' in
You can feel your heart is getting older
You can feel the world is getting colder
And it feels so good just to have you next to me

Oh baby alright, I think I love you
It's alright, you make me love you
Oh I said alright, I think I love you
It's alright, you make me love you

Now the days are all getting shorter
They seem to slip away like water
Oh the land is cold and the night is closing in
But you're always there when I need you
When it feels the world is against you
Oh it feels so good with you standing next to me

Oh baby alright I think I love you
I said alright, I think I need you
Oh babe it's alright I think I want you
I think I need you
Oh babe it's alright
Oh babe it's alright
Now that you're here

Oh it's an icy wind that's a-blowin'
And you never know just where it's goin'
But it feels so good when you're curled up close to me
Oh baby alright I think I love you
It's alright you make me love you
I said it's alright I think I need you
It's alright you make me love you...

EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK

Well every trick in the book
that you want to play
You'd better have a good answer
to get your way
'Cause all the tricks that you pulled
And all the people you fooled,
well you you started something

Well all the people that liked you
just went on home
And when they could of stood by you,
you stood alone
'Cause all the people you fooled
And all the people you took
well you started something

And all the signs in your head
call out you're dead
But all the preachers went home
and left you alone

And all the women that liked you,
you fooled around
And when you got them inside you,
you turned them down
'Cause all the women you fooled
And all the women you took
well you started something

And all the lines in your head
call out you're dead
And all the teachers went home
and left you alone

Monkeys to the left,
monkeys feeling right at home
Too many people,
too many walking alone
And though they say
they don't like it
You know they really don't mind
if you started something

But all the signs in your head
call out you're dead
And all the teachers went home
and left you alone

LONDON

I wish I was in London
Walkin' in the rain
I wish I was in London
I really miss the rain
Oh just take me home again

 

I wish I was in England
I really miss the Queen
I wish I was in England
I really miss the Queen
Oh but is she missing me

 

What happened to the Empire?
There's nothing in the Bank
They gave away the empire
Without a word of thanks
Oh let's blame it on the Yanks

So give me rule Britannia
Britannia rules the waves


I live in California
But it's really not the same
Oh so take me home again
Please take me home again...

OH BROTHER

Even when you've been singer in the band
Put another bunch of lies in your head
Oh brother you're dead
'cause there's no one
There to keep the pigeons warm
And there's no one there to shelter you
From out the coming storm

 

And even when you've been singer in the band
Put another bunch of jive in your head
Oh brother you're dead
'cause there's no one there
To keep the pigeons warm
And there's no one there to shelter you
From out the coming storm

 

So brother can you hear me?
This is not the way i want to live
I'm reaching a point of nothing else to give
To give, to give, to give

 

And even when you've been leader of the world
Put another bunch of lies in your head
Oh brother you're dead
Cos there's no one there
To keep the pigeons warm
And there's no one there to shelter you
From out the coming storm

 

So brother can you hear me?
This is not the way i want to be
I'm reaching a point of nothing else to see
To see, to see, to see

 

And even when you've been leader of the band
Put another bunch of jive in your head
Oh brother you're dead
Cos there's no one there to keep the pigeons warm
And there's no one there to shelter you


From out the coming storm

So brother can you hear me?
This is not the way i want to live
I'm reaching a point of nothing else to give.

DESERT LOVE

Did I tell you I need your love a little more each day
Did I tell you I'm feeling old since you went away
Did I tell you my love was cold like the desert night
Did I tell you my heart was dry like the desert sky

 

Oh, will you love me again?
Won't you help out a friend?
Will you love me again?


Did I tell you my lips were cold like the desert night
Did I tell you my heart was dry like the desert sky
If I need anyone to hold will you say you might

 

Oh, will you love me again?
Won't you help out a friend?
Will you love me again?

FOR EVERY MAN

For every man who has a dream, there's a light that's rarely seen
Within a world where all is greed, all is lies
For every child who lies awake and hopes that dawn will never break
To be alone, to be afraid but never cry


Where is the love, where is the fire we used to share, we used to live
Where is the hope, where is the flame we used to feel, we used to give
Where is the man who says he never wants to dream, wants to live


For every man who feels alone working fingers to the bone
I have a voice, I still yearn and I still cry
It's not the singer, it's the song, strikes the chord in everyone
And makes us dance, makes us sing, Makes us fly


Where is the love, where is the fire we used to share, we used to live
Where is the hope, where is the flame we used to feel, we used to give
Were is the man who says he never wants to dream, wants to live


Instrumental


Where is the love, ...
For every man
(There's nothing that we know, just watch the magic flow

ARIES

Alright, let's get the whole thing cooking

 

I try to run in a different race
But every time I seem to lose faith
Making it is hard, but taking is easy
But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace


Oh, dubidaidai, dubidaidaidada...

 

I try to walk down a city street
I say hello to the people I meet
They're walking their way, thinking I'm crazy
But I have so much trouble just keeping the beat

 

Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
Whatever I was blessed with
It wasn't a life of peace


It's all right, yeah, here she comes

 

Oh, maybe I'm just a country boy
The city life will bring me no joy
Well it's bringing me down, it's making me lonely
You see I'm fooling with life and it ain't no toy

 

Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
And whenever I got problems
I just call upon Aries

 

All right yeah


Here she comes
Here she comes

GIVE ME LOVE, GIVE ME LIFE

It's feeling like it's time to ring the changes
It's feeling like it's time to be reborn
'Cause here we go again, proclaiming it's the end
We're reaching out for something to bring it back again
We're living on good fortune, we're cheating all our friends
So tell me, oh tell me, now where's it going to end
I hope it's not too late to see the danger
I'd really like to wake and see the dawn
'Cause here we go again, we're trying to pretend
We're blaming one another for what is ours to mend
We're fighting for the future, we're ringin' out the past
It feels good, it feels good but is it going to last

 

Chorus:
Give me love, give me love, give me joy, give me pain
Give me light, give me starting again
Give me hope, give me hope, give me sun, give me rain
Get me up, get me dancing again
Give me life, give me life, give me high, give me low
Give me truth give me something to know
Give me time, give me time, give me room, give me rope
Give me sign, give me reason to hope
'Cause everything is a turn up, turnaround
And everything is upside, upside-down
Well everything's not like you'd like it to be
Everything is a two-bit, two-bit town
And everybody's just out to drag you down
Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be
Well everything is a turn up, turnaround
And everything is upside, upside-down
Well everything's not like you'd like it to be
Everything is a two-bit, two-bit town
And everybody's just out to drag you down
Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be
I may not love you, but I can't stop thinking 'bout you

 

Repeat Chorus
Things just ain't what they used to be, ain't what they ought to be
Ain't what they've got to be, gonna be probably
Things just ain't gonna get to me, ain't gonna bother me
Ain't gonna worry me, hurry me, let it be
Repeat Chorus

HAI HAI

The sun goes up, the son goes down,

and still my life is just spinning around
It builds me up, it drags me down,

and keeps me looking for some solid ground


Hai hai, hai hai, hai hai
The race is on, the stakes are high, they want your body better dance or die
The game is up, the die is cast, this roller-coaster may well be your last
Hai hai, hai hai, hai hai
If you want to know me, if you want to know me
Won't you love me like no body ever did before


The road is long, the climb is steep,

and ghosts and goblins never seem to sleep
The storm has gone, the sky is clear
But there ain't no courage when there ain't no fear


So get away, oh get away
The sun goes up, the sun goes down,

and this old world is still spinning around
It fills me up, it drags me down,

and keeps me looking for some solid ground


Hai hai, hai hai, hai hai
If you want to know me, if you want to know me
Won't you love me like nobody ever did before

HOOKED ON A PROBLEM

I'm hooked on a problem, it won't go away
So many opinions, I don't know what to say
Can somebody help me, what they trying to do
Life used to be simple, life used to be fun
But it's all catching up on me, tell me what have I done
Can somebody help me, what they trying to do

 

Chorus:
Hey don't you ever get lonely, hey don't you wish it was easy
Facing the world on your own
I'm hooked on a problem, it won't let me go
The way people look at me feels like twenty below
Can somebody help me, what they trying to do
I'm walking a tightrope with stars in my eyes,
In danger of falling, won't you kiss me goodbye
Can somebody help me, what they trying to do

 

Repeat Chorus
If you know the answer, what I'm tryin' to say
I need a solution, 'cause I'm wasting away
Can somebody help me, what they trying to do
Won't somebody help me, what they trying to do
Can somebody help me, what they trying to do

HOUSE ON THE CORNER

There's a house on the corner, lives a man who went to war
And it tries to give him shelter from the pain of what he saw
There's a child out the window painting faces in the snow
And they smile a sad reminder of a life he used to know
There's a house on the corner, lives a man with empty eyes
For his heart has been broken for he was sold a pack of lies


Hold me closer (you know I can't)
Hold me closer (but you don't understand)
Hold me closer, open your heart
Hold me closer (I'm so alone)
Hold me closer (Oh you'll never know)
Hold me closer, open your heart


For he fought for his country, now he fights to clear his name
For the dead are always heroes and the living live in shame
And he said


Hold me closer (you know I can't)
Hold me closer (but you don't understand)
Hold me closer, open your heart
Hold me closer (I'm so alone)
Hold me closer (Oh you'll never know)
Hold me closer, open your heart

HUNGRY

This morning when I woke up, I fixed myself a drink
I was feeling kind of broke up, my mind was on the blink
I couldn't see a future, can't seem to hold a job
I feel I'm just a loser, oh when's it gonna stop


I said Baby, say you'll always get to hold me
Say we'll never go hungry, never run out of money
You say we'll just have to hold on, maybe life is just a put on
Won't you come and just hold me, say I'll never get lonely


Some mornings when I wake up I just don't know who I am
If I look behind the make-up, I see a troubled man
I wander in the darkness, just talking to the walls
Seems life has turned against me, who'll catch me if I fall


I said Baby, say you'll always want to hold me
Say we'll never go hungry, never run out of money
Give me something to hold on, tell me life is just a put on
Won't you come and just hold me, Say I'll never get lonely


I said Baby, say you'll always want to hold me
Say we'll never go hungry, never run out of money
Give me something to hold on, tell me life is just a put on
Won't you come and just hold me, say I'll never get lonely

I'M NOT AFRAID

Oh what a way to go, we're goin' down slow
We're movin' to the rhythm, we're letting it flow
We're steppin' out of time, it's freaking your mind
We're livin' in the body, and we're doin' just fine

 

Chorus:
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's you milk and honey
You know we're doin' alright
Well round and round we go, we're goin' down slow
We're shakin' to the rhythm, we're letting it flow
We're not afraid of time, it imprisons your mind
We're livin' in the body, and we're doin' just fine

 

Repeat Chorus Twice
I'm not afraid of nothing, I'm not afraid to cry
I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to love, I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid of laughter, I'm not afraid of tears
I'm not afraid to look, I'm not afraid to learn, I'm not afraid to hear
I'm not afraid of darkness, I'm not afraid of night
I'm not afraid to win, I'm not afraid to lose, I'm not afraid to fight
I'm not afraid of anger, I'm not afraid of war
I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to die, I'm not afraid at all
'Cause it's a time for singing, and it's a time to dance
And it's a time to run, and it's a time to jump, and it's a time to chance
And it's a time for giving, and it's a time to share
And it's a time to choose, and it's a time to do, and it's a time to dare

LOVERS IN THE WIND

Time is always on the run, we've only just begun, lovers in the wind
Life is all we have to share, you know we must take care
Lovers in the wind

 

There was a time, when it was hard to know
Reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go
There was a light born on the darkest day
But no one wants to know, and no one wants to try

 

Love is all I have to give, it's all I need to live, lovers in the wind
There was a time, when it was hard to know
Reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go
There was a light born on the darkest day
But no one wants to know, and no one wants to cry
Time is always on the run, we've only just begun, lovers in the wind

LOVE IS A THOUSAND TIMES

Love, love is a thousand times stronger than me, stronger than you
Well if you want to be a soldier go marching off to war
You think you're going to be a hero but we've heard it all before, boy

 

Love, love is a thousand times dearer than me, dearer than you
Well if you want to be a leader, Then go and lead the way
You're never going to give us freedom no matter what you say, boy
I said it'd better come soon...

 

La-La-La


'Cause love-love is the way
If only we all could hear, It just seems so clear
I just can't believe watching the world what am I seeing?
But I know there's a way, oh there must be a way
Oh there must come day - come a time when I can be free...


'Cause I want to hear her voice, softer than me, softer than you
Whatever will it take me to bring her smile my way
'Cause every time I try to please her, she loves to go in hiding
I said she'd better come soon

MY MAGAZINE

Tell me what you like, I'll print it all
You need laughs, 'cause you don't need misery
Just tell me what you need, I'll tell it all
Screw the facts, I can give you fantasy

 

Chorus:
My magazine, I'm talking about my magazine...
Just tell me what you want, I print it all
You need help, it's a sick society
Just tell me what you need, I sell it all
Who needs friends, I'm collecting enemies

 

Repeat Chorus

POTTER

The name is Potter, hi there
I'm sure getting hotter, mind there
I told her quick she could see my pricked cactus
Back in the confines of my home
She didn't say yes, but she didn't say no
So we're just gonna go get a cactus supper at home

Nigger in the woodpile, mind out
Trigger as a docile, find out

Roll up, roll up, come and see me, tickle me
Sing me songs like you've never seen before
Roll out, old town, to my place in town
It's a case of a pound and a race to the bedroom door

Roll up, roll up, come and see me, tickle me
Sing me songs like you've never seen before
Hold on, hold on, till my place in town
In the case of a pound and the race till the bedroom door

 

PUPPET DANCE

Why did you leave me all alone,

why didn't you tell me you were going home
Everything changes now you're gone,

making me wonder how to carry on
Over and over you gave to me,

I wish I had told you what you meant to me
Why does it always have to end, losing a loved one is so hard...
Oh my Lord, is it right? By the light of the darkest night

 

You're never gonna see, you're never gonna see me crying
Where's the warmth of the sun?

Was there something that I should have done?
You're never gonna see, you're never gonna see me crying
What I would give just to hear you laugh,

but all I have left is just a photograph

 

Oh to have known you all those years,

wish I had known how to dry your tears
Everything matters when you're young,

everything shatters when the day is done
Everything falters in the end, losing a loved one is so hard...
Oh my Lord, is it right? By the light of the darkest night

 

You're never gonna see, you're never gonna see me crying
Where's the warmth of the sun?

Was there something that I should have done?
You're never gonna see, you're never gonna see me crying
So many feelings rushing in, it's too late for thinking how it could have been
Who knows the reason, was meant to be, it's gonna be lonely
Will you wait for me

RED LAKE

Red Lake, hear my words,

where the eagles cry and the spirits fly o'er sacred land
Red Lake, hear my prayers,

they're a feeble cry to an angry sky that bleeds for Man
"So get up and shut up and don't let us use you
Oh get up and shut up and let us abuse you"
It's a crazy world,

and my spirit cries against the wind - can you send to me
I've been this way before, I've danced on distant shores
I've watched the minds of men go south - come back again
I've walked a million miles, I've seen my little child
I've knocked on every door and still I'm wanting more -
To be home -
To be home -
Yeah yeah to be home -
To be home -
Yeah yeah to be home

RIGHT PLACE

Put it in the right place, oh get into the right space
Move it at the right pace, don't you turn into a head case
Oh you drive me crazy

 

Chorus:
Don't say that you'll never be lonely, baby
Don't say that you'll never take chances, lady
Fee, fi, fo fum everyone wants it baby
Be high, have fun, everyone needs it baby
Oh put it in the right place, got to get into the right space
Oh move it at the right pace, oh it drives me crazy

 

Repeat Chorus
Put it in the right place, oh get into the right space
Move it at the right pace, ah squeeze it in a tight place
Oh it drives me crazy

 

Repeat Chorus
Put it in the right place, got to move it at the right place
Better get into the right space, light space, tight space

SHOWDOWN

Well there's crying in the kitchen and there's fighting in the street
And there's cocaine in the schoolyard yet my heart don't miss a beat
And the preacher's on the telly and he's handing me the phone
Got an ulcer in his belly and a torment in his soul

 

He can't let go - oh he can't let go

 

Everybody wants a contribution, telling me they've got the best solution
No one wants the carousel to slow down,

seems to me we're heading for a showdown

 

And there's poison in the water and there's holes up in the sky
And the children keep on asking "Is the planet gonna die?"
You must let go - oh you must let go

 

Got to get fired - it's going to get hot
We got to take it higher, give it everything you got
Oh - oh, you never know, oh way to go

 

Everybody's talking revolution, politicians offer no solution
No one seems to want to face the lowdown
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown

TRAVELLED

Travelled the world in million ways
Catching the palm in familiar gaze
Everyone lives by two hard eyes
There's no one with time to laugh or cry
There's no one to tell us what we're living for

 

And though I tried to be a good man
I just know that I'll be losing very soon
And there are times and there are motions
When I do believe I'm going out of tune, oh

 

I've been around a long, long while
Looking for sun to make me smile
But still multiply their daily bread
They're thinking their lives put times ahead
It must be a mighty funny way to feel

 

And though I tried to be a good man
I keep finding out there's nowhere to begin
And so I think I'll go on singing
And in time I hope that we can all join in, oh

DANIELLE

I want my Danielle

Lady sweet Danielle

Comfort me with sadness

Not an easy thing to do

I could see that you were troubled

But there wasn’t much that I could do

 

When the rain speaks softly

From up on a blade of grass

Don’t you cry?

Don’t you cry?

Don’t you cry?

 

I want my Danielle

Come back sweet Danielle

Only for a moment

Was a memory made for you

But the heart does not forget good

When the feeling is so true

 

When the rain speaks softly

From up a blade of grass

Don’t you cry?

Don’t you cry?

Don’t you cry?

 

TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE

Time waits for no one, old as the sun
Lying here beside you, life's just begun
Time stays for no one, old once was young
Life's grand illusion, two hearts make one
Time waits for no one, old as the sun
Lying here beside you, life's just begun

THE MORE I LOOK

The more I look, more I see
The more that life asks of me
The more it hurts, the more I feel
The more it takes time to heal

For easy times they come and they go
Come and they go so quickly
And peace of mind is so hard to know
It's something to keep me striving

The more I learn the less I know
So little time, so far to go
When your heart's getting burned
As you weep, so you learn

For easy times they come and they go
Come and they go so swiftly
And peace of mind is so hard to know
It's something to keep me striving

The more it hurts, the more you feel
The more it takes the time to heal
The more you look, the more you see
The more these things were meant to be

For easy times they come and they go
Come and they go so quickly
And peace of mind is so hard to know
It's something that keeps me smiling

The more I look, the more I see
The more that life gives to me.

ALONG CAME MARY

Was alone then along came Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
Was amazed when she stole my thunder
Filled my world with the ways of wonder

Come away come away with me
Far away where the eyes can't see
Come away to another time
Pardon if you lose your mind

Who are you now?
Who makes the rules?
Follow your heart and get back....
Won't you get back....
Oh get back

Was alone then along came Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
Was amazed when she stole my thunder
Filled my world with the ways of wonder

Come away come away with me
Far away where the eyes can't see
Come away to another time
Pardon if you lose your mind
Pardon if you lose your mind
Pardon if you lose your mind-if you lose your mind

KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Know who you are
There's a world wants to know you
Know where to go
There's a world wants to touch you
Feel all you can
Let your heart speak and guide you
Don't be afraid
Of the love deep inside you
Bring it out for everyone
When you smile we can see the sun
Bring it out for all to hear
Because you've so much to give
And there's so much to know
But if you wait for your moment
Well, it may never show
Know who you are
There's a new song inside you
Weep if you can
Let the tears fall behind you
Bring it out for everyone
When you smile we can see the sun
Sing it out for all to hear
Because you've so much to say
And you've so much to do
And everyone's waiting
Yes, it's all up to you
Know who you are
There's a world deep inside you
Trust if you can
There's a friend there to guide you

 

EASY DOES IT

And if my thoughts had wings
I'd be the bird that sings
I'd fly where love isn't shy
And everyone is willing to try
And if we had the time
And time's so hard to find
I could believe what you say
Start sending those shadows away

And if you know who you are
You are your own superstar
And only you can shape the movie that you make
So when the lights disappear
And only the silence is near
Watch yourself, easy does it, easy does it, easy while you wait

And if you know who you are
You are your own superstar
And only you can shape the music that you make
So when the crowds disappear
And only the silence is here
Watch yourself, easy does it, easy does it, easy while you wait

CRAZY

Here’s a little song to make you feel good
Put a little light In your day
These are crazy times
And it’s all been getting pretty serious
Here’s a little song to make you right
Send the blues away
Well it’s a crazy game
Tell me who’s to blame, I’m kind a curious

Right if you win, wrong if you lose
Nobody listens when you’re singing the blues
Well something’s the matter
But nothing gets done
Oh everyone’s waiting for a place in the sun
Well, something is wrong now
Can something be wrong with me

Oh brother, why’s it got to be so crazy
Gimme little left, gimme little right
Gimme little black, gimme little white
Gimme little peace, gimme little hope
Gimme little light
´Cause you know it seems
That the situation’s getting serious
Right if you win, wrong if you lose
Nobody listens when you’re singing the blues…
Oh, something is wrong with me
Oh, brother, why’s it got to be this crazy…
