"Liberation Rag"

"Liberation Rag"



My henna-haired gal's all there in coffee-coloured lace,
Wearing such a pretty smile upon her face.
Her little angel's fluttering around and pulling on her dress,
And you know that's the way she like it best.
She's a new age mother, she don't take no bull,
She don't dig that attitude in school.
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
And if you use a cup in the kitchen, you gotta wash it yourself,
When it's clean, put that cup back on that shelf.
She don't dig none of that old-fashioned jazz
Where women do all the chores,
She can think and open all her own doors.
She's a new age mother, she don't take no bull,
She don't dig that attitude in school.
She's a new age mother, she more than a lay,
Lindee got a lot to give and say.
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
Do-do-do-do-do the liberation rag
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

"Life Goes On"

"Life Goes On"



La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la

It's not easy when your life has broken down
To find solace in a world of pain.
It's not easy to pick up your broken heart
And start all over again.

It's not easy to be strong and carry on
When the light in your life has died.
It's not easy when the one and only one

Has left you in the dark to cry.

But life goes on and on, you know,
Just like a river flow.
If love may come and go, you know,
Your love may one day show.

It's not easy for to sleep alone at night,
You keep searching for the shape you knew.
It's not easy to wake up and realise
The big bad dream is true.

It's not easy to believe a day will come
When another one will cherish you.
It's not easy to be a cool and act unhurt
When the pain hits you through and through.

But life goes on and on, you know,
Just like a river flow.
If love may come and go, you know,
Your love may one day show.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la

But life goes on and on, you know,
Just like a river flow.
If love may come and go, you know,
Your love may one day show.

Your love may one day show, oh, oh,
Your love may one day show.
Your love may one day show.

"Life Is A Merry-Go-Round"

"Life Is A Merry-Go-Round"



Beneath the weight of the world I can be found
Among the chaos and the wheel, scattered all around.
On the wild windy wave I'm tossed, cast away and lost,
Now I understand what those sad songs say.

Make up your mind to be happy,
Life is a merry-go-round.
If you miss out this time,
Don't let it fret your mind,

Love will come round in the end.

Make up your mind to be happy,
Life is a merry-go-round.
If an' you miss out this time,
Don't let it fret your mind,
Love will come round in the end.

Between the devil and the deep blue we find ourselves
often Out of the frying pan and into, left on the shelf.
Borne willy nilly here and there when our hearts are full of care,
Oh my, now we understand what those sad songs say,

Sad, sad songs they say.

Make up your mind to be happy,
Life is a merry-go-round.
If an' you miss out this time,
Don't let it fret your mind,
Love will come round in the end.

Makin' up your mind to be happy
You've gotta make up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind
Makin' up your mind ...
Make up your mind to be happy

"Little Ben"

"Little Ben"



Rain on a window, kettle on a stove
Where is little Ben? In the Rowan grove.

Tide on the turning, Davey on the sea
Where is little Ben? He's with me.

My name is Gwindle, in scarlet livery
I'm the Rowan fairy who dwells in these trees
Little Ben is with me.

"Little Boy In Corduroy"

"Little Boy In Corduroy"



A little boy in corduroy
a little girl in lace
a little coy jump for joy
colour in a space

little boy in corduroy
after me say
save a sunny wish for a rainy day

how many wishes can you wish in a day
wish i had a wish to wish a wish away

take a seed
thread a bead
make a pretty thing

in a deed plant a seed
make a daisy ring
little boy in corduroy
after me say
how many wishes can you wish in a day
i wish i had a wish to wish a wish away
little boy in corduroy

"Little Teddy Bear"

"Little Teddy Bear"



Come on little fella, dry your pretty eyes
Sometimes there have to be clouds up in the sky
After every rainfall all the flowers grow
Jump into my lap now, you know I love you so

You're just a little teddy bear
To cuddle up to me (teddy bear)
You're just a little teddy, teddy bear
You're just a little teddy bear
To cuddle up to me (teddy bear)
You're just a little teddy, teddy bear

What a great big heartache for such a little girl
I can see you carry the weight of the world
Let me show you how to find the magic charms
I can see you smiling, run into my arms

You're just a little teddy bear
To cuddle up to me (teddy bear)
You're just a little teddy, teddy bear
You're just a little teddy bear
To cuddle up to me (teddy bear)
You're just a little teddy, teddy bear

When the silver lining seems to fade away
Feeling oh so empty, nothing you can say
There's a little island in the stormy sea
I will be your haven if you call to me

You're just a little teddy bear
To cuddle up to me (teddy bear)
You're just a little teddy, teddy bear
You're just a little teddy bear
To cuddle up to me (teddy bear)
You're just a little teddy, teddy bear

"Living For The Love Light"

"Living For The Love Light"



What am I doing? Where am I going?
What am I living for?
Life would be an awful bore
If it wasn't for the one I adore
Living for the love light in your eye
Otherwise I think I'd die.

What can I tell you? What do I know?
I don't know any answer
All I know is here I am
All I know is I am the man
Who's living for the love light in your eye
Otherwise I think I'd die.

Living for the love light in your eye
Otherwise I think I'd die.

Night is upon me and I can't see no stars
Out in the country and I can't hear no cars
The fire is dying as I must some day
Living for you only, baby, what can I say?
Baby, what can I say?

All I know is here I am
All I know is I am the man
Who's living for the love light in your eye
Otherwise I think I'd die.

Living for the love light in your eye
Otherwise I think I'd die.

Living for the love light in your eye
Otherwise I think I'd die.

Living for the love light in your eye
Otherwise I think I'd die.

I'm living for the love light in your eye
Otherwise I think I'd die.

Living for the love light in your eye ...

"Local Boy Chops Wood"

"Local Boy Chops Wood"



He got weights on his shoulders
He got chains 'round his neck
'Fore he get very much older
He be a nervous wreck.

He got plenty hangers on
To keep him happy and high
You know but deep down inside him
You can hear him cry.

Local boy chops wood, headlines read
Local boy makes good, watch him bleed
Local boy chops wood, what went wrong
Local boy makes good, wasn't too strong.

One riff of his guitar
Gonna change the whole scene
He's a rebel-romantic
With a death-wish dream.

Local boy chops wood, headlines read
Local boy makes good, watch him bleed
Local boy chops wood, what went wrong
Local boy makes good, wasn't too strong.

He keep ice in his young veins
To cool the fires in his head
It'll take more than double brandies
To dry the tears he shed.

Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead, what went wrong?
Rock star found dead, wasn't too strong.

Read all about it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Read all about it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead
…

"London Town"

"London Town"



Before you go, back to London town
Make sure your woman, she don't turn you down
Green rocky road, promenade and green
Tell me who you love

If when you get there, it's another man
Must find your way, back if you can
Green rocky road, promenade and green
Tell me who you love
Tell me who you love

If when you get there, maybe you will find
When spring turns to summer, she may change her mind
Green rocky road, promenade and green
Tell me who you love

Could be he stopped moving, maybe settle down
If things wore doubt for you, in London town
Green rocky road, promenade and green
Tell me who you love

Could be he stopped moving, ramble round and round
If things were different, here in London town
Green rocky road, promenade and green
Tell me who you love
Tell me who you love

Before you go, back to London town
Make sure your woman, she don't turn you down
Green rocky road, promenade and green
Tell me who you love
Tell me who you love
Tell me who you love

"Lord Of The Dance"

"Lord Of The Dance"



I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the Moon, and the stars, and the Sun
I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth.

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced for the scribe and the pharisee
They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me
So I danced for the fishermen James and John
They come with me and the Dance went on:

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced on the Sabbath and cured the lame
The holy people, they said it was a shame!
They whipped and stripped and then hung me high
Left me there on a cross to die!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance and I still go on!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

They cut me down but I leap up high
I am the Life that will never never die!
I live in you if you live in Me
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

Dance then, wherever you may be
For I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
