"Raspberry Jam"

"Raspberry Jam"



Pieces of toast
Raspberry jam
Laid out on the breakfast table
It's time to begin again

Way down in the valley
Where the rivers flow
Lives a girl named Sally
Who loves to watch things grow

Pieces of toast
Raspberry jam
Laid out on the breakfast table
It's time to begin again

Now Sally has five children
And a good old man
And they all sit down together
For their toast and their raspberry jam

Oh, how they have
Pieces of toast, raspberry jam
Laid out on the breakfast table
It's time to begin again

"Read Between The Lines"

"Read Between The Lines"



I wrote you a letter the other day
And I told you I was happy for you
And your new love
Now there was much more
I wanted to say
But it's hard for me to get over
My last bit of pride

But if you read between the lines
You will know that I still love you
Oh, and I'll love you forever
And always

When we were together
I never thought
You would ever be anything else
But a friend and a true love
But time has thrown its net
And now I'm caught
And I'm helpless to tell you
How much I miss you by my side

But if you read between the lines
You will know that I still love you
Oh, and I'll love you forever
And always

Do you remember smiling at me
When I looked at you
And I first saw you
And I wanted you
And you wanted me
But it's over now and I just can't see
How I'm gonna live without you

But if you read between the lines
You will know that I still love you
Oh, and I'll love you forever
And always

"Really Rosie"

"Really Rosie"



I'm really Rosie
And I'm Rosie Real
You better believe me
I'm a great big deal!

BELIEVE ME!

I'm a star from afar
Off the golden coast
Beat the drum! Make that toast!
To Rosie the Most!

BELIEVE ME!

I can sing
Tea for Two and Two for Tea
I can act
To be or not to be
I can tap
Across the Tappan Zee
Hey, can't you see?
I'm terrific at everything!
No star shines so bright as me - Rosie!

BELIEVE ME!

I'm Really Rosie
I'm Rosie Real
I'm Really Rosie

BELIEVE ME!

Across the Tappan Zee
Hey, can't you see?

"Ride The Music"

"Ride The Music"



Wouldn't you like to come with me
On a regular old-fashioned fantasy
Let the music come and carry you along
Let your mind just wander

Do you want to go for a ride
Let out the secrets you're keeping inside
It's a miracle to just be alive
Come on, come on, come on, ride the music

There's no magic or mystery
You gotta give yourself a break occasionally
And let the music come and carry you along
Come on, come on, come on, ride the music

"Sacred Heart Of Stone"

"Sacred Heart Of Stone"



Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone
Even the sword of love cannot penetrate you
Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone
I used to love you
Now I think I hate you

When I was younger I believed your lies
Your shield and armor that would not compromise
You won your war with a ghostly kiss
Whoever thought it would come to this
Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone

Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone
Maybe if I saw you shed a tear
The feeling of love might re-appear

You're all alone now
You've got nothing to fear
It'll be your own doin'
To survive in the ruin

I think its time for me to turn away
You invented the world we're living in today
When you inherit the earth and all its gold
It's not my hand you will get to hold
Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone

Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone
Even the sword of love cannot penetrate you
Sacred heart, sacred heart of stone
I used to love you
Now I think I hate you
Sacred heart of stone

"Safe Again"

"Safe Again"



Seems so hard
All I want to do is let down my guard
Laugh like a child and play out in the yard
I want to feel safe again

I don't know
What happened to you, where did you go
Wish I could not feel the cold wind blow
I want to feel safe again

If only I could believe everything will soon be
Like all the fairy tales I've read
But I feel so lost and naked
And I wake up with the shape of a dream
In my head

Seems so hard
All I want to do is let down my guard
Get through just one more day unscarred
I want to feel safe again
I want to feel safe again
I want to feel safe again
With you

"Screaming And Yelling"

"Screaming And Yelling"



When everybody
Screams and yells
Who calms them down?
Who rings their bells?
When everybody screams and yells
The enchanted one
That's me
When everybody screams and yells,
There's nothing to do!
There's nothing to see!
Who dreams up a place they'd like to be?
The enchanted one
That's me
It takes personality
A lot of personality
To make them see it my way
It takes personality
More personality
To turn twelve boring hours
Into a fascinating day!
I CAN DO IT!
That's a fact
I CAN DO IT!
Don't you see?
AND I'LL DO IT
ALL FOR FREE!

Do you know?
Can you guess
Who I simply have to be?
STOP SCREAMING AND YELLING
SCREAMING AND YELLING
SCREAMING AND YELLING
SCREAMING AND YELLING
AND I'LL TELL YOU ALREADY!
The enchanted one
That's me

"Seeing Red"

"Seeing Red"



Since a time before my memory
He's been without a home
Once he lived on an open plain where wildlife grazed
And buffalo used to roam
Red was the sunrise on the dawn of his creation
Now where is the road that will lead him to his destination
It took so little time to destroy a way of life
They served his people well
Gifts that they gave in all good faith
Have been misused and shot to hell
You who want wisdom, turn and face the four directions
For only those with one heart, fall under their protection
In the future of my days ahead
I want to see it right
We got to make it right

"Simple Things"

"Simple Things"



Simple things mean a lot to me
Some things only children can see
Simple things like horses running free
And easy acceptance of life

Simple things never compromise
All things have a rhythm I can't realize
I feel content in my freedom
And I feel my freedom is right

I never want to stop being a child
I want to see the flowers growing wild on the hillside
To see the sun rise in the morning
Sunlight growing, filling the skies

Simple things of the earth don't die
They just grow and change as time goes by
There are no questions without answers
I've found my answer to life is living
The secret of living is life
