California Dreamin'
|
|
All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day I'd be safe and warm If I was in L.A. California dreamin' On such a winter's day Stopped into a church I passed along the way Well, I got down on my knees And I pretend to pray You know the preacher likes the cold He knows I'm gonna stay California dreamin' On such a winter's day All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day If I didn't tell her I could leave today California dreamin' On such a winter's day California dreaming' On such a winter's day California dreaming' On such a winter's day |

Somebody to Love
|
|
When the truth is found to be lies And all the joys within you dies Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to love When the garden flowers baby are dead yes And your mind is full of red Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to love Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his But in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to love Tears are running ah running down your breast And your friends baby they treat you like a guest Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to love |

When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then Peace will guide the planets And Love will steer the Stars This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius Age of Aquarius Aquarius!

Summer in the City
|
|
Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city |

Let's Go to San Francisco
|
|
Let's go to San Francisco Where the flowers grow So very high Sunshine in San Francisco Makes your mind grow Up to the sky Lots of sunny people Walking hand in hand They're the lucky people They have found their land Let's go to San Francisco Let the wind blow Right through your hair Go down to San Francisco See the night full Of people there Let's go to San Francisco Where the flowers grow So very high Sunshine in San Francisco Makes your mind grow Up to the sky It's the summer in Frisco |

Black Magic Woman
|
|
Got a black magic woman Got a black magic woman I've got a black magic woman Got me so blind I can't see that she's a black magic woman She's trying to make a devil out of me Don't turn your back on me baby Don't turn your back on me baby Yes don't turn your back on me baby Stop messing 'round with your tricks Don't turn your back on me baby You just might pick up my magic sticks Got your spell on me baby Got your spell on me baby Yes you got your spell on me baby Turning my heart into stone I need you so bad, magic woman I can't leave you alone |

Incense and Peppermints
|
|
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind Dead kings, many things I can't define Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind Incense and peppermints, the color of time Who cares what games we choose? Little to win but nothin' to lose Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah! To divide this cockeyed world in two Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do Beatniks and politics, nothing is new A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view Who cares what games we choose? Little to win but nothin' to lose Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind Dead kings, many things I can't define Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind Incense and peppermints, the color of time Who cares what games we choose? Little to win but nothin' to lose Incense and peppermints Incense and peppermints Sha la la |

Catch the Wind
|
|
In the chilly hours and minutes Of uncertainty I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind To feel you all around me And to take your hand Along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When sundown pales the sky I wanna hide a while Behind your smile And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing It would make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near To kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standing in your heart Is where I wanna be And I long to be Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind |

Carrie Anne
|
|
Hey Carrie Anne When we were at school our games were simple I played the janitor you played a monitor Then you played with older boys and prefects What's the attraction in what they're doing? Hey Carrie Anne What's your game now, can anybody play Hey Carrie Anne What's your game now, can anybody play You're always something special to me Quite independent never caring You lost your charm as you were aging Where is your magic dissappearing Hey Carrie Anne What's your game now, can anybody play Hey Carrie Anne What's your game now, can anybody play You're so, so like a woman to me So, so like a woman to me Hey Carrie Anne What's your game now, can anybody play Hey Carrie Anne What's your game now, can anybody play People live and learn, but you're still learning You use my mind and I'll be your teacher When the lesson's over you'll be with me Then I'll hear the other people saying Hey Carrie Anne What's your game now, can anybody play Hey Carrie Anne What's your game now, can anybody play Carrie Anne |

The Days of Pearly Spencer
|
|
A tenement, a dirty street Walked and worn by shoeless feet Inside it's long and so complete Watched by a shivering sun Old eyes in a small child's face Watching as the shadows race Through walls and cracks and leave no trace And daylight's brightness shuns The days of Pearly Spencer The race is almost run Nose pressed hard on frosted glass Gazing as the swollen mass On concrete fields where grows no grass Stumbles blindly on Iron trees smother the air But withering they stand and stare Through eyes that neither know nor care Where the grass has gone The days of Pearly Spencer The race is almost run Pearly where's your milk white skin What's that stubble on your chin It's buried in the rot gut gin You played and lost not won You played a house that can't be beat Now look your head's bowed in defeat You walked too far along the street Where only rats can run The days of Pearly Spencer The race is almost run The days of Pearly Spencer The race is almost run The race is almost run |

I Can Hear Music
|
|
This is the way I always dreamed it would be The way that it is, oh oh When you are holding me I never had a love of my own Maybe that's why when we're all alone I can hear music I can hear music The sound of the city, baby, seems to disappear I can hear music Sweet sweet music Whenever you touch me, baby Whenever you're near Lovin' you It keeps me satisfied And I can't explain, oh no The way I'm feeling inside You look at me we kiss and then I close my eyes and here it comes again I can hear music I can hear music The sound of the city, baby, seems to disappear I can hear music Sweet sweet music Whenever you touch me, baby Whenever you're near I hear the music all the time, yeah I hear the music, hold me tight now, baby I hear the music all the time I hear the music I can hear music I can hear music The sound of the city, baby, seems to disappear I can hear music Sweet sweet music Whenever you touch me, baby Whenever you're near |

Where Do You Go to My Lovely
|
|
You talk like Marlene Dietrich And you dance like Zizi Jean-Maire. Your clothes are all made by Balmain And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are You live in a fancy apartment Off the Boulevard St. Michel Where you keep your Rolling Stones records And a friend of Sasha Distel, yes you do But where do you go to my lovely When you're alone in your bed Tell me the thoughts that surround you I want to look inside your head, yes I do I've seen all your qualifications That you got from the Sorbonne And the painting you stole from Picasso Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does When you go on your summer vacation You go to Juan-les-Pins With your carefully designed topless swimsuit You get an even suntan On your back and on your legs And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz With the others of the jet set And you sip your Napoleon brandy but you never get your lips wet, no you don't But where do you go to my lovely When you're alone in your bed Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you I want to look inside your head, yes I do Your name it is heard in high places You know the Agha Khan He sent you a race horse for Christmas and you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, haha haha They say that when you get married It will be to a millionaire But they don't realize where you came from And I wonder if they really care or give a damn Where do you go to my lovely When you're alone in your bed Tell me the thoughts that surround you I want to look inside your head, yes I do Ah, remember the back streets of Naples Two children begging in rags Both touched with a burning ambition To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try So look into my face Marie-Claire And remember just who you are Then go and forget me forever But I know you still bear the Scar deep inside, yes you do Ah, I know where you go to my lovely When you're alone in your bed I know the thoughts that surround you 'Cause I can look inside your head |

Kites
|
|
I will fly a yellow paper sun in your sky When the wind is high, when the wind is high I will float a silver solid moon through your window If your night is dark, if your night is dark In letters of gold on a snow white kite I will write " I love you!" And send it soaring high above you For all to read I will scatter rice paper stars in your heaven If there are no stars, if there are no stars All of these and seven wonders more will I find When the wind is high, when the wind is high In letters of gold on a snow white kite I will write "I love you!" And send it soaring high above you For all to read (Asian speech) No one say you need (Asian speech) In letters of gold on a snow white kite I will write " I love you!" And send it soaring high above you For all to read |

Happy Together
|
|
Imagine me and you, I do I think about you day and night, it's only right To think about the girl you love and hold her tight So happy together If I should call you up, invest a dime And you say you belong to me and ease my mind Imagine how the world could be, so very fine So happy together I can't see me lovin' nobody but you For all my life When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue For all my life Me and you and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together I can't see me lovin' nobody but you For all my life When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue For all my life Me and you and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together Me and you and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together So happy together How is the weather So happy together We're happy together So happy together Happy together So happy together So happy together |

Green Tambourine
|
|
Drop your silver in my tambourine Help a poor man fill his pretty dream Give me pennies I'll take anything Now listen while I play My green tambourine Watch the jingle jangle start to chime Reflections of the music that is mine When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing Now listen while I play My green tambourine Drop a dime before I walk away Any song you want I'll gladly play Money feeds my music machine Now listen while I play My green tambourine |

Paranoid
|
|
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify Can you help me occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late |

Light Flight
|
|
Let's get away, you say, find a better place, Miles and miles away from the city's race, Look around for someone lying in the sunshine Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da Stepping from cloud to cloud passing years of light Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight Star becomes a vision, never mind the meaning, Hidden there, moving fast, it won't last Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by, Now a thousand moons are about to die No time to reflect on what the time was spent on, Nothing left, far away, dreamers fade Strange visions pass me by, winging sweetly close inside O-ver the wa-ter, ah Swirling, the waters rise up above my head. Gone are the curling mists how they all have fled. Look, the door is open, step into the space Provided there Da do da, da, do da Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da |

Everlasting Love
|
|
Hearts gone astray, leaving hurt when they go I went away, just when you, you need me so You won't regret, I'll come back begging you Won't you forget, welcome love we once knew Open up your eyes, then you'll realize Here I stand with my, everlasting love Need you by my side, girl to be my pride You'll never be denied, everlasting love From the very start, open up your heart Be a lasting part of everlasting love (Real love to last forever) (Real love to last forever) Where life really flows, no one really knows Till someone's there to show the way to lasting love Like the sun it shines, endlessly it shines You always will be mine, with eternal love Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong We'd have our very own, everlasting love (Real love to last forever) (Real love to last forever) Open up your eyes, then you'll realize Here I stand with my, everlasting love Need you by my side, girl to be my pride You'll never be denied, everlasting love From the very start, open up your heart Be a lasting part of everlasting love Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong We'd have our very own, everlasting love |

Sunny Afternoon
|
|
The tax man's taken all my dough, And left me in my stately home, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything I've got, All I've got's this sunny afternoon. Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa, Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. Now I'm sitting here, Sipping at my ice cold beer, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. Help me, help me, help me sail away, Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime |

Venus

A goodess on a mountain top, was burning like a silver flame. The summit of beauty she was, and Venus was her name. She's got it, Yeah baby she's got it. Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at you desire. Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at you desire. Her weapon were her crystal eyes, making every man a man. Black as a darknight she was, got what no one else had. |

Oh the games people play now Every night and every day now Never meaning what they say now Never saying what they mean And they wile away the hours In their ivory towers Till they're covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine Chorus La-da da da da da da da La-da da da da da de Talking 'bout you and me And the games people play Oh we make one another cry Break a heart then we say goodbye Cross our hearts and we hope to die That the other was to blame Neither one will give in So we gaze at our eight by ten Thinking 'bout the things that might have been It's a dirty rotten shame Repeat Chorus People walking up to you Singing glory hallelulia And they're tryin to sock it to you In the name of the Lord They're gonna teach you how to meditate Read your horoscope, cheat your faith And further more to hell with hate Come on and get on board Repeat Chorus Look around tell me what you see What's happening to you and me God grant me the serenity To remember who I am Cause you've given up your sanity For your pride and your vanity Turns you sad on humanity And you don't give a da da da da da Repeat Chorus |

Spinning Wheel

What goes up must come down Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin You got no money and you got no home Spinnin' wheel all alone Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn Did you find the directing sign on the Straight and narrow highway Would you mind a reflecting sign Just let it shine within your mind And show you the colors that are real Someone is waiting just for you Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true Drop all your troubles by the riverside |

My Friend the Sun
|
|
Well I know that you're lonely, come in from the cold Your shoes they need mending, your clothes they look old Won't you pick up your pieces, it's never too late Though it's never early to make a mistake As soon as you wake... Although there's been rain, and it's coming again Change has to be here, obviously Though my friend the sun looks well on the run He's there in the distance, if you care to see I know that you're waiting, come out from your shell There'll come a time when you'll remember it well Take all the good times from chances you've had Chances you've made and what you've learnt from the bad It's never so sad... Although there's been rain, and it's coming again Change has to be here, obviously Though my friend the sun looks well on the run He's there in the distance, if you care to see If the season were a reason, then there'd be no doubt A sequel of changes worth putting you out But on the question of whether you heard a lie Answer yourself looking straight in his eyes Don't you realize... Although there's been rain, and it's coming again Change has to be here, obviously Though my friend the sun looks well on the run He's there in the distance, if you care to see |

Living in the Past
|
|
Happy and I'm smiling, walk a mile to drink your water. You know I'd love to love you, and above you there's no other. We'll go walking out while others shout of war's disaster. Oh, we won't give in, let's go living in the past. Once I used to join in every boy and girl was my friend. Now there's revolution, but they don't know what they're fighting. Let us close out eyes; outside their lives go on much faster. Oh, we won't give in, we'll keep living in the past. |

Eight Miles High

Eight miles high and when you touch down You'll find that it's stranger than known Signs in the street that say where you're going Are somewhere just being their own Nowhere is there warmth to be found Among those afraid of losing their ground Rain gray town known for its sound In places small faces unbound Round the squares huddled in storms Some laughing some just shapeless forms Sidewalk scenes and black limousines Some living, some standing alone |

Daydream
|
|
What a day for a day dream, What a day for a day dreamin' boy. And I'm lost in a day dream, Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy. And even if time ain't really on my side, It's one of those days for taking a walk outside. I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun, And fall on my face in somebody's new mowed lawn. I've been havin' a sweet dream, I've been dreamin' since I woke up today, It's starring me in my sweet dream, 'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way, And even if time is passin' me by a lot, I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got. Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load. A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad. And you can be sure that if you're feelin right A day dream will last a long time into the night. Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears, Or you may be dreamin' for a thousand years. |

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call And call Alice, when she was just small When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low Go ask Alice, I think she'll know When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead And the white knight is talking backwards And the red queen's off with her head Remember what the dormouse said Feed your head, feed your head |

Dedicated Follower of Fashion
|
|
They seek him here, they seek him there, His clothes are loud, but never square. It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best, 'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion. And when he does his little rounds, 'Round the boutiques of London Town, Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends, 'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion. Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is). He thinks he is a flower to be looked at, And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight, He feels a dedicated follower of fashion. Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is). There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery. One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes. 'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion. They seek him here, they seek him there, In Regent Street and Leicester Square. Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on, Each one an dedicated follower of fashion. Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is). His world is built 'round discoteques and parties. This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best 'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion. Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is). He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly. In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be, 'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion. He's a dedicated follower of fashion. He's a dedicated follower of fashion. |

Excerpt from a Teenage Opera
|

Count the days into years his eighty two brings many fears Yesterday's laughter turned to tears his arms and legs don't feel so strong his heart is weak, there's something wrong Opens windows in despair tries to breathe in some fresh air his conscience cries: "Get on your feet. without you, Jack, the town can't eat". Grocer Jack, grocer Jack. get off your back. go into town. don't let them down. Oh no. no. Grocer jack. grocer Jack. get off your back. go into town, don't let them down, Oh no. no. The people that live in the town don't understand He's never been known to miss his round, "It's ten-o'clock", the housewives yell. "When Jack turns up we'll 'give him hell." Husbands moan at breakfast tables No milk. no egg. no marmalade labels Mothers send their children out to Jack's house to scream and shout Grocer Jack, grocer Jack. get off your back come into town. don't let us down. Oh no. no. Grocer Jack, grocer Jack. get off your back come into town. don't let us down. Oh no. no. A Sunday morning bright and clear Lovely flowers decorate the marvellous square People cry and walk away and think about the fateful day Now they wish they'd given Jack more affection and respect Little children dressed in black don't know what happened to old Jack Grocer Jack, grocer Jack, is it true what mummy says, you won't come back, oh no, oh no Grocer Jack, grocer Jack, is it true what mummy says, you won't come back, oh no, oh no |

Oh, don't it hurt deep inside To see someone do something to her Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry Oh, especially when someone is her Silence is golden, but my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden But my eyes still see Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep Even though there is nowhere to go How could she tell, he deceived her so well Pity, she'll be the last one to know Silence is golden, but my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden But my eyes still see How many times will she fall for his line Should I tell her or should I keep cool And if I tried, I know she'll say I lied Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool Silence is golden, but my eyes still see Silence is golden, golden But my eyes still see But my eyes still see But my eyes still see |

And the rain will fall, it falls for you. And the clouds will break into tears, you should be here standing so near to me. 'Cept I know you should be sad But give me time alone to get it out of my mind. Though say I know it's only the weather. 'Cause ev'ry time it rains you are gone. And I'm blue. Then I wake up, then I wake up. And the sun will shine if just for you. And the trees will talk to the skies, whispering lies, heaven will pass to me, yeah. Trains walk by and the birds disappear. Oh! Why am I still here without you by my side. So I cry your name and love, the thought to me is back and how near. Then I wake up, then I grow up. And the rain will fall. It falls for you. And the clouds will break It should be near. And the sun will shine if just for you And the love... |

The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead; I just need some place where I can lay my head. "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said. Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free; Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me. I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide; When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side. I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown." She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around." Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free; Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me. Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day. "Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?" Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free; Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me. Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog. He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog." I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man." He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can." Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free; Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me. Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time. To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one. Who sent me here with her regards for everyone. Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free; Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me. |

Mr. Tambourine Man
|
|
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand, Vanished from my hand, Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping. My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet, I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin'. I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun, It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facin'. And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind, I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're Seein' that he's chasing. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. |

It Ain't Me, Babe
|

Go 'way from my window Leave at your own chosen speed I'm not the one you want, babe I'm not the one you need You say you're lookin' for someone Who's never weak but always strong To protect you an' defend you Whether you are right or wrong Someone to open each and every door But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. Go lightly from the ledge, babe Go lightly on the ground I'm not the one you want, babe I will only let your down You say you're lookin' for someone Who will promise never to part Someone to close his eyes for you Someone to close his heart Someone who will die for you an' more But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. Go melt back in the night Everything inside is made of stone There's nothing in here moving An' anyway I'm not alone You say you're looking for someone Who'll pick you up each time you fall To gather flowers constantly An' to come each time you call A lover for you life an' nothing more But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me, babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. |

Everybody's Talkin'

Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stopping staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm going where the sun keeps shining Thru' the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Backing off of the North East wind Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone |

Get Together

Love is but a song to sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Some may come and some may go We shall surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now If you hear the song I sing You will understand (listen!) You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at you command Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now |

She would never say where she came from Yesterday don't matter 'cause its gone While the sun is bright Or in the darkest night No one knows She comes and then she goes Goodbye Ruby Tuesday Who is gonna hang a name on you And when you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you Don't ask her why she leaves to be so free She's gonna tell you it's the only way to be And she just can't be chained To a life where nothing's gained And nothing's lost But such a cost Goodbye Ruby Tuesday Who is gonna hang a name on you And when you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you Oh there's no time to lose I heard her say You gotta catch your dreams before they run away Dying all the time Lose your dreams then you might lose your mind Is life unkind Goodbye Ruby Tuesday Who is gonna hang a name on you And when you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you Goodbye Ruby Tuesday Who is gonna hang a name on you And when you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you Goodbye Ruby Tuesday |

Mama Told Me Not to Come
|
|
Want some whiskey in your water? Sugar in your tea? What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me? This is the craziest party that could ever be Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come "That ain't the way to have fun, no" Open up the window, let some air into this room I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume And that cigarette you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come "That ain't the way to have fun, son" "That ain't the way to have fun, son" The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door I'm lookin' at my girlfriend - she's passed out on the floor I seen so many things I ain't never seen before Don't know what it is - I don't wanna see no more Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, son" "That ain't the way to have fun, no" |

Eve of Destruction
|
|
The eastern world it is explodin', Violence flarin', bullets loadin', You're old enough to kill but not for votin', You don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin', And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin', But you tell me over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say? Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today? If the button is pushed, there's no running away, There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave, Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy, But you tell me over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin', I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation, Handful of Senators don't pass legislation, And marches alone can't bring integration, When human respect is disintegratin', This whole crazy world is just too frustratin', And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Tehn take a look around to Selma, Alabama! Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space, But when your eturn, it's the same old place, The poundin' of the drums, th pride and disgrace, You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace, Hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace, And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. |

The Universal Soldier
|
|
He's five feet two and he's six feet four He fights with missiles and with spears He's all of 31 and he's only 17 He's been a soldier for a thousand years He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an athiest, a Jain, a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew and he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will kill you for me my friend and me for you And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France, he's fighting for the USA, and he's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan, and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way And he's fighting for Democracy and fighting for the Reds He says it's for the peace of all He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die and he never sees the writing on the walls But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau Without him Caesar would have stood alone He's the one who gives his body as a weapon to a war and without him all this killing can't go on He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame His orders come from far away no more They come from him, and you, and me and brothers can't you see this is not the way we put an end to war. |

All I Ever Need Is You
|
|
Sometimes when I'm down and all alone just like a child without a home the love you give me keeps me hangin' on awww honey, all I ever need is you You're my first love you're my last you're my future, you're my past and loving you is all I ask aww honey, all I ever need is you Winters come and they go and we watch the melting snow but sure as summer follows spring all the things you do give me a reason to spend me life around you Some men follow rainbows I am told some men search for silver, some for gold but I have found my treasure in your soul my honey, all I ever need is you |

Dream a Little Dream of Me
|
|
Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore tree Dream a little dream of me Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me |

Magic Carpet Ride
|
|
I like to dream, yes I do Right between the sound machine On a cloud of sound I drift in the night Every place she goes is right Flies far, flies near To the stars away from here Well, you don't know what We can find Why don't you come with me little girl On a magic carpet ride Well, you don't know what We can find Why don't you tell your dreams to me Fantasy will set you free Close your eyes girl Look inside girl Let the sound take you away Last night I found Aladdin's lamp So I wished that I could stay But before the thing could answer me Someone came and took the lamp away I looked Around A lousy candle's all I found Well, you don't know what We can find Why don't you come with me little girl On a magic carpet ride Well, you don't know what We can see Why don't you tell your dreams to me Fantasy will set you free Close your eyes girl Look inside girl Let the sound take you away |

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 else. |
