"Last Love Song"

"Last Love Song"

If you don't love me
Please don't treat me this way
Cause I can't stand it
I see our love slipping away
Did you think you could just put me down
Like a worn out shoe
Cause if you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you
If you don't need me
Don't leave me out in the cold
Eyes drifting by me
Like somebody you don't know
Did you think that you could just walk away
Anytime you wanted to
Cause if you don't love me
Maybe I don't love you
Did you think that you could just put me down
For somebody new
Cause nobody can love you girl like I do
Every little bird in the sky
Would sing a song of love
If you would just take me back
Come on open up your heart again
Let me in baby baby
If you don't love me
Stop fooling yourself
No more acting
I know your show too well
Did you think that you could just shake my hand
With a how d'y'do
Cause if you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you
Oh and as you go through life
It's the little things that come back again
If you came back again
You know i'd give my loving to you

"Later"

"Later"

Later,
I want to talk it out with you
Try to get my message through
That's not all I want to do
Later

Later,
I want to feel your body close
From your head down to your toes
Maybe help you fold your clothes
Later

I want to spread the news, don't want to soft soap you
We're meant to live and love together girl . . . Oh babe
There's nothing I can do, oh darling
I love you
There's no way you can stay home, alone, babe
Later

I want to talk it out with you
Try to get my message through
That's not all I want to do
Later

Later...

"Life"

"Life"

Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
Love can take you by the hand
Love can drop you where you stand

But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough

Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
She can turn your head around
He can lift you off the ground

But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough

Love you make it what it is
Life can change it with a kiss
Love, love, love, love

"Lilywhite"

"Lilywhite"

Back up on the mended road
I pause
taking time to check the dial
And the Lilywhite
I never knew her name
But she'll be passing my way sometime again.
I raise my hand and touch the wheel
of change
taking time to check the dial
Thank the Lilywhite
I never knew her name
But she'll be passing my way sometime again.
But she'll be passing my way sometime again.

"Longer Boats"

"Longer Boats"

[Chorus:]
Longer boats are coming to win us
They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us
Longer boats are coming to win us
Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door.

I don't want no god on my lawn
Just a flower I can help along
'Cause the soul of no body knows
how a flower grows... Oh how a flower grows.

[Chorus]

Mary dropped her pants by the sand
And let a parson come and take her hand
But the soul of no body knows
Where the parson goes, where does the parson go?

[Chorus]

[Addition verse performed in live version of this song.]

Raise your mind up and look around
You can see them, yes they're looking down
From a lonely asteroid, in a vacant void.
Dyin', but not destroyed.

"Lovely City (When Do You Laugh)"

"Lovely City (When Do You Laugh)"

Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people, what do you have?
Well, you ride around on a bright shiny cloud
and you think that you've found true happiness
there's no method in your mind
and your tempers are kind
is it too much to ask to give it a rest?
Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people , what do you have?
I'm a part of you, you don't wanna be
I'm an unexpected visitor who's dropped in for tea
but I'm not so low you don't even know that I'm here
You can't even see
Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people, what do you have?

"Majik Of Majiks"

"Majik Of Majiks"

What kind of power,
What kind of demon is this
Who kicks me out in shame,
With every word he says
What kind of majik of majiks.
What kind of war is this,
That I can't fight no more
That leaves me weaponless,
And nails me to the floor
What kind of power, of powers.
What kind of man--
Can make me turn and see
The way I really am.
Oh tell me who, oh who?
Where have my brothers gone,
Why I don't see them about
They're all around him now.
And keeping me out
What kind of madness, of madness
"Go on and let him in, he's only asking for
A simple job to do and nothing more" they said.
But looking back
I see this stranger had the key
To any door he wished, with his eyes I say.
What kind of majiks, of majiks
What kind of man--
Can make me turn and see the way I really am.
Oh tell me who, oh who?
"Go on and let him in, he's only asking for
A simple job to do and nothing more" they said.
"Go on and let him in."
"Go on and let him in, he's only asking for
A simple job to do and nothing more."
But looking back
I see this stranger had the key
To any door.

"Mary And The Little Lamb"

"Mary And The Little Lamb"

Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go
It followed her most every day, and it made the people laugh
You'd never see it work or play, and you'd never see it at the grass
Oh they'll be loving a long long time from now, but it'll be too late for him
Oh they'll be kissing and hugging and holding tight, but it'll be too late for him
And people tried to talk to him, but it never made no sense
'Cause just as they were getting through, it'd be jumping another fence
It'd follow in her footsteps, and everywhere she went
It'd see him in there with her, but you'd never be seeing him
Oh they'll be loving a long long time from now, but it'll be too late for him
Yes they'll be kissing and hugging and holding tight, but it'll be too late for him
Now one dark day, a big storm came and it blew Mary's house away
All the walls had vanished, and there was nowhere for Mary to stay
She cried and cried, and looked around, but everything was gone
Except for that one little lamb, he was still holding on
Oh they'll be loving a long long time from now, but there'll be no-one more happy than him
'Cause every night, the moon shines bright, she'll be cuddling up to him
They'll be loving a long long time from now, but there'll be no-one more happy than him
'Cause every night, the stars shine bright, she'll be cuddling up to him

"Matthew & Son"

"Matthew & Son"

Up at eight, you can't be late
for Matthew & Son, he won't wait.
Watch them run down to platform one
And the eight-thirty train to Matthew & Son.
Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!
There's a five minute break and that's all you take,
for a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake.
Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!
He's got people who've been working for fifty years
No one asks for more money cuz nobody dares
Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears
Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son,
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

"Maybe There's A World"

"Maybe There's A World"

I have dreamt of a place and time, where nobody gets annoyed
But I must admit I'm not there yet but something's keeping me going
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Open up o world and let me in
Then there'll be a new life to begin
I have dreamt of an open world
Borderless and wide
Where the people move from place to place
And nobody's taking sides
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Open up a world and let me in
Then there'll be a new life to begin
I've been waiting for that moment
To arrive
All at once the palace of peace
Will fill my eyes, how nice
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Open up o world and let me in
Then there'll be a new life to begin
I've been waiting for that moment
To arrive
All at once the wrongs of the world
Will be put right, how nice
