"Sometimes"

"Sometimes"


Sometimes when I am lonely
And I need some love and care
Sometimes I feel I only
Have to call and you'll be there
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes
Sometimes I can look at you
Then I don't and then I do
Sometimes
Sometimes
I take exception
To the way we're criticized
Once it was because we had long hair
And now cause we've short back and sides
They never stop they always have to win
Ooh a parents reputation is based
Only on what the neighbours think
Sometimes you have the answer
Long before the questions put
Sometimes you are a dancer
Without moving either foot
Sometimes I get undressed for dinner
Stay up all hours of the night
Have my breakfast with my lunch
Well you know it can be fun
Sometimes
Sometimes you take a letter
And you post it in a box
You assume that It will get there
Even though the last you sent got lost
How tragic it would be if here and now
Ooh all optimism disappeared
Replaced by something less endowed
Sometimes I'm up in heaven
When you hold me in your arms
Sometimes I'm up at seven
To the sound of my alarm
Sometimes I read about the third world
And the hunger there you find
Sometimes love it can be blue
Red or green and yellow too
Sometimes love is in the air
It's a crazy world I swear
Sometimes

"Stick In The Mud"

"Stick In The Mud"


Roll out the barrel bring in the beer
Hell bent for leather rousing good cheer
Don't let your best friend down
He wouldn't like it to be done
Don't be a stick in the mud
Be a little cleaner one

Right up this ladder write down this note
Dear sir or madam pardon my quote
And while we're about it please
Let's have no more of this carry-on
Don't be a stick in the mud
Be a little cleaner one

And anytime I see your face
I'm reminded of a meal I once had
Boy it was really good to look at
But it sure tasted bad
Don't be a stuck in the mud

Hang out your window sit on your floor
Don't let it get up not like before
When it sat down on you
Who would have thought it could be done
Don't be a stick in the mud
Be a little cleaner one

And anytime I see your face
I'm reminded of a meal I once had
Boy it was really good to look at
But it sure tasted bad
Don't be a stuck in the mud

Roll out the barrel bring in the beer
Hell bent for leather rousing good cheer
Don't let your best friend down
He wouldn't like it to be done
Don't be a stick in the mud
Be a little cleaner one

"Susan Van Heusen"

"Susan Van Heusen"


Little Susan Van Heusen was present
When her father decided to play
Cat and mouse round the house with that peasant
Girl of a B good and maybe I will stay
For a while if you smile but remember
When my head is bowed
It is not because I am sad
Merely that old blue me
Getting me down
As you've guessed it was best that she rid her
Self from this an unfriendly affair
So without more to do than say dither
Suzi went over the hill and back again
I will go in a mo
But first you'd better book up cos I
Have no piece to perform
Have no role to play
Other than that one of me
Eaten by you
All the way through
Down to the last
Very last chew

In the end so to speak it was easy
To suppose she would never return
Even though her old man tried repeatedly
Begging her to one and all aboard this plane
I repeat be discrete but remember
When my head is...

"Tell Me Why"

"Tell Me Why"


I don't want you hanging round outside my door
I don't want you hanging round anymore
If you'd only tell me why you did lie
Baby please baby please baby one time

Tell me why anyway you want to
Tell me why anyway you choose
Tell me why anyway you want to
Please baby please baby this time baby
Please baby please baby why don't you try

You've got to be honest if our love's to pay
You've got to be truthful in no other way
If you'd only tell me why you cheated and lied
Baby please baby please baby one more time

Tell me why anyway you want to
Tell me why anyway you choose
Tell me why anyway you want to
Please baby please baby one more time
Baby please baby please baby
Tell me why, tell me why

Tell me why anyway you want to
Tell me why anyway you choose
Tell me why anyway you want to
Please baby please baby tell me why
Baby please baby please baby

So I don't want you hanging round outside my door
And I don't want you hanging round anymore
But If you'd only tell me why you did lie
Baby please baby please baby why don't you try

Tell me why anyway you want to
Tell me why anyway you choose
Tell me why anyway you want to
Please baby please baby one more time
Baby please baby please baby tell me why,
Tell me why

Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why

"That's"

"That's"


That's Oh! come now boys don't give me that
I've had it all before
If not inside my overcoat hanging outside my door
A silver plaque in prussian blue
Bears these few words upon
Don't ever say that that's okay
Cos that's where I come from

Now if you don't and I know you won't
Understand what that means
The answers obviously to look
In Midsummer night's dreams
Where if he will permit you to
You'll see how it begun
But please don't say that that's okay
Cos that's where I come from

And.. if you ask me why we multiply
I'll tell you when divided
Two from two leaves

But please don't say that that's okay
Cos that's where I come from

And if some day she should want to stay
On our mum's kitchen floor
Providing he's not under age
I see no reason for
Me to go out without a doubt, as he'll be moving on
Never to say that that's okay
Cos that's where I come from
That's where I come
That's where I come
That's where I come
And the needle isn't stuck

"That's A Fact"

"That's A Fact"


I could dance all night, I could shake with delight,
It's as simple as that and that's a fact,
I could squeeze your hand, I could give a command,
It's so good to be back and that's a fact
You can be as cool as you like,
You can be as wrong as you are right,
It don't matter much to me,
Either way it's free I could dance all night,
I could shake with delight,
It's as simple as that and that's a fact,
One and one are two, that's a fact,
The sky above is blue and that's a fact,
Put it in the act,
You got a little woman and she's aware of that, all right,
Right, right I could dance all night 'til I'm wacked,
And that's a fact,
All night until I'm wacked;
You can be as cool as you like,
You can be as wrong as you are right,
It don't matter much to me,
Either way it's free You say some day, oh baby let's get away,
Me, I'll stay at home, to each his own
You say some day, oh baby let's get away

"That's Love"

"That's Love"


Once in a while, out of the blue
I might appear somewhat rude
But don't be alarmed or get upset
Just say to yourself this I'll forget
And when I come home after being away
It might do me good just to hear you say
Darlin' don't move an inch, keep perfectly still
Now do with me what you will.
Sometime ago before we met
I vowed to myself that I'd never let
No-one at all ever tie me down
Never dreaming that I'd see you around
Now isn't it strange wherever you go
It's always the same with whoever you know
Which just goes to prove what I've been trying to say
Looking at you the way I do (that's love)
Promising always to be true (that's love)
Giving each other a helping hand (that's love)
Sharing each other's every plan, that's love
And in love you do
And isn't it strange wherever you go
It's always the same with whoever you know
Which just goes to prove what I've been dying to say
Holding you now the way I do (that's love)
Knowing full well you want me to (that's love)
Telling each other how we feel (that's love)
Knowing inside it must be real, that's love
And in love it's true

"That's Where I Belong"

"That's Where I Belong"


Twist me round your little finger
Wrap me round your thumb
Give me what it is I'm after
Make me feel I'm the one
And anytime you need a friend
I'm yours to lean upon
'Cos where you're going I am too
That's where I belong

Sentence me to life in prison
But grant me one request
See to it there's no remission
And be sure it's your address
Build me up or put me down
Whatever turns you on
'Cos where you're going, I am too
That's where I belong

I'll love you true
I'll love you fair
I'll love you when you're old
And not just care
I'll love you now right here, and yes
Although I love you in so many ways
My favourite is undressed

Give me hope where once was fear
Don't keep me holding on
'Cos where you're going I am too
That's where I belong
'Cos that's where (That's where I belong)
I belong with you
That's where I belong

"That's Why I Love You"

"That's Why I Love You"


When I look back on yesterday
And all the songs we used to play
The thing that sticks in my mind most
Is not how badly each one goes
But what they mean to me
This one especially

When I'm alone with you it seems all my dreams come true
It makes me feel so good I just can't help loving you
Cos your everything I could hope for
That's why I love you

Sometimes I tell myself this girl don't love you no-more
And that someday with someone new she'll walk from your door
But if you did my world would break in two
That's why I love you

And anytime I see your face
Something very unusual takes place
All my inhibitions disappear
Now that you are here

"The Best Fun I Ever Had"

"The Best Fun I Ever Had"


You were the best fun I ever had
You gave me a love that couldn't be bad
You taught me things that I thought were rude
Oh-you were the best girl I ever knew
You were the best girl I ever knew

We were a couple so much in love
We gave to each other over and above
You made my life and I'm glad
Oh-you were the best fun I ever had
You were the best fun I ever had

From the time we met
Till the time you left
It was one big beautiful dream
Even LSD with its potency
Couldn't match the thrills we've seen
You were the best fun

Now as I look back on those good old days
When the singing nun was all the rage
You'll see engraved around my eyes
A sadness I cannot disguise

From the time we met
Till the time you left
It was one long glorious affair
Even Casanova for all his know-how
Would have died had he been there
You were the best fun

From the time we met
Till the time you left
It was nothing short of superb
Even D.H. Lawrence for all his novels
Would have been shocked had he heard
You were the best fun
