"Thunder And Lightning"

"Thunder And Lightning"


There's people who believe
That what we're to receive
Is meant to happen anyway
Then there're those who'll admit
That they're literally scared stiff of it
No matter what you say
Then there are those who'll astound
By simply being around to play
Thunder and lightning ain't worth fighting
So lock yourself away or else face it all tonight
I was supposed to meet her at eight
Now I find it's gone eight
And I haven't done a thing
There's people all around me
People who have found me
Not very funny when I sing
A little song about the bad things
The weather can do
Thunder and lightning ain't worth fighting
So lock yourself away or else face it all tonight
People running everywhere
There's not a soul who'll stay out there
And I don't think there will be tonight
But we've got to accept what's right

Thunder and lightning
I'm trying hard to remember
Was it last November
When I got caught under a tree
I stood there like a fool
Without so much as a stool
That I could sit upon to comfort me
I shudder at the thought
However I got out safely
Thunder and lightning...

"To Cut A Long Story Short"

"To Cut A Long Story Short"


I had a woman that loved me true
To cut a long story short
We got married on our honeymoon
To cut a long story short
Now we're together I'm afraid no more
To cut a long story short
Like billions of other people we're divorced
To cut a long story short

I don't believe that you can possibly
Give more than you get
Unless you talk about taxation
And the money that you care to bet

When I've got a problem I wanna solve
To cut a long story short
I simply go out and have a game of golf
To cut a long story short
But I read a book that the book was great
To cut a long story short
It got a fine class of people like the chambermaid
To cut a long story short

I don't see how you could possibly
Take what you can get
When to get what you take
And man you really got to sweat

I don't believe that you can possibly
Give more than you get
Unless you talk about taxation
And the money that you care to bet

I've got a girlfriend her name is Jill
To cut a long story short
She doesn't take chances
So she takes the pill
To cut a long story short
I'm really positive that she is mine
To cut a long story short
Now I'm getting married for the second time
To cut a long story short

I don't see how you could possibly
Take what you can get
When to get what you take
And man you really got to sweat

"To Each His Own"

"To Each His Own"


You say some day, oh baby let's get away,
Me, I'll stay at home, to each his own
Blackbird on the wire leave something to be desired,
This bird hasn't flown, to each his own
Where in the world would you ever incur,
Such incongruous statements as incongruous as that
You write every day, how many words I can say,
Me I telephone, to each his own
To each his own,
I'm not a prude by any means,
But nudity upon the screens has reached a point
Where acting is now secondary,
It's now no longer what you wear,
But what you are prepared to bear,
The point being that the more you show,
The bigger you'll be,
To each his own;
Of ever moment I cherish alone,
It amazes me how easily I'm scared of that,
You say some day, oh baby let's get away,
Me, I'll stay at home, to each his own
I'm not afraid to say right now,
That if I had to milk a cow,
I'm sure I could do a damned good job of doing it,
I've always been a real dab had at this dab hand,
On the other hand, forgive me for the pun,
Because I just couldn't resist it

"To The Extreme"

"To The Extreme"


Just think how easy it would be if we had
Not just time on our (bends) hands but some in a bag
We could for Instance if there's no time to spare
Take out the bag (end) and use some up from in there

There's nothing I like more then anything else
Better (then) than any dream
You loving me me loving you
To the extreme

What does it matter getting marks out of ten
Numbers are pointless as far as you're concerned
You couldn't measure how good you are for me
It's not impossible although possibly
I'm never surprised at the levels we've reached
That's (bow) how it's (ifs) always been
You loving me me loving you to the extreme

It's not the limit but as you well know
If one exists then we passed it long ago so long ago

I make no apologies for this remark
Dirtyor (net) not it's clean

You loving me me loving you to the extreme

"Tomorrow Today"

"Tomorrow Today"


You seem to be wanting
Everything yesterday
Always the impossible
That's what you seem to portray
Give me one good reason
Why, even if I stay
You won't walk away from me
Tomorrow today

You seem to be wanting
Everything yesterday
Why, all of a sudden
Are you acting in this way

Leave me as you found me
Astound me no more
Who cares what today's like
The morning before

Did you ever stop to ask him
Where he's going
Has it not occurred to you
Without you knowing
You're reducing me to no more
Than a wreck
I cannot stand the pace you're keeping
What's you're meaning

"Too Bad"

"Too Bad"


It's too bad you couldn't come
It's too bad you decided to stay away
(Too bad baby)
It's too bad you couldn't come
It's too bad I really thought you were okay
(Too bad baby)

You admit you were wrong
That you knew all along
Yet you still had the nerve
To go leading me on
It's too bad baby
But not especially for me

It's no good us going on
It's no good you trying to soft-soap me
(No good baby)
It's no good I'm telling you
It's no good all we ever do is disagree
(No good baby)

What am I supposed to do
How can I forgive you
If you won't even bother
To tell me the truth
It's no good baby
But not especially for good ol' me

I wanna say I've enjoyed
All the nights we've employed
And the pleasure it's given me
But I cannot except with the greatest respect
Anybody to termine me
Do I make myself perfectly clear

It's too bad you couldn't come
It's too bad you decided to stay away
(Too bad baby)
It's too bad you couldn't come
It's too bad I really thought you were okay
(Too bad baby)

Said you'd be there at nine
Well I got there on time
But you didn't show up
Because you changed your mind
It's too bad baby
But not especially for me

Too bad for you and not for me
(Too bad baby)
And not for me
(Too bad baby)
Too bad for you and not for me baby
Too bad baby
Too bad baby

"Too Long"

"Too Long"


I've been outside my window looking in for a change,
And what I've seen let me tell you,
Isn't the least bit strange,
My landlady she puts her head into my room,
Her nose must be as long as the handle of a broom,

But you, you amaze me when you suddenly show up,
Protesting your innocence and proclaiming your love,
But it's been too long, since you went away,
Too long, you know there's no chance you staying,
Too long, baby, but you should know that,
After seven whole years you still want me back,
It's been too long baby, take my advice,

You can walk out on me once but you can't do it twice,
If life is what you make it then you'll have to agree,
In my life I've had more that I a lifetime's misery,
It's not that I'm complaining, you know I wouldn't do that,
But in our firm when there's trouble, it's me who gets the sack,
But you, you amaze me with your big blue eyes,
You thought me seeing you would be nice surprise,

But it's been too long,
Too long since you went away,
Too long, can't you hear what I'm saying,

Too long, baby, why won't you be told,
Sure I cared about you once but that was long ago

It's been too long baby, go ahead and cry,
You can walk out on me once but you can't do it twice,

Too long, baby, why won't you be told,
Sure I cared about you once but that was long ago

Go on back to the life that you said you had found,
Don't bother me with your ups and your downs,
Oh I don't understand how someone like you,
Turns up like this out of the blue,

Too long, baby, why won't you be told,
Sure I cared about you once but that was long ago

It's been too long baby, you heard what I said,
It's as if you had returned from the dead,
Too long baby.

"Too Much Attention"

"Too Much Attention"


There is too much attention
Paid to people who believe
That the world we live in
Really isn't round
Yes there's too much attention
Paid to people just like me
Who'll confess their only aim in life
Is down
There is too much attention
As to where we all should be
And to how much we should know
Inside how long
Yes there's too much attention
And the reason I believe
Is because we are what we are right or wrong
So forgive me when I tell you
I ain't got no place to go
I ain't got no-one to talk to
Got no one left to say hello

There is too much attention
Paid to him who shot at he
And to how he got away
But didn't quite
Yes there's too much attention
So much so that we'll believe
He's not guilty of the crime which he's
Being tried
So forgive me when I tell you
I ain't got no place to go
I ain't got no-one to talk to
Got no one left to say hello

"Two's Company (Three Is Allowed)"

"Two's Company (Three Is Allowed)"


Sellotape is sticky
Now there's a surprise
Next they'll tell you you can see out of your eyes
Mummified mummies daddies little girl
Had the operation then became an earl

Once you would have kissed her gently on the cheek
Now she kisses you beginning with your feet
Roles that are reversing so misunderstood
Kids who think monogamy is a piece of wood

Ooh but two's company three is allowed
Two's company three is allowed
Two's company three is allowed

These days as a woman you are out of place
If you're not a lesbian whose friends are gays
Anything is normal normal is of course
Getting married after planning your divorce

Usually I don't go much at all on twins
Once you've seen the one you've seen them both I think
Mind you when they're pretty pretty as a peach
Whose to say that on the day with one of each

Ooh two's company three is allowed
Two's company three is allowed
Two's company three is allowed

I look like I wanna look I wear what I like
It won't be a suit and no it won't be a tie
A tie is a dead heat not a knot round your neck
Neck is what you do when
Alone with your girlfriend

Ooh but two's company three is allowed
Two's company three is allowed
Two's company three is allowed

"Underneath The Blanket Go"

"Underneath The Blanket Go"


I don't know if you've heard the news but I'm a boy
Who's got himself a problem so big it's no joy
You see I've something that people claim
Could bring me fortune and instant fame
A face so ugly you could hardly blame
Anybody here for saying so

I think I'll bury myself deep beneath the ground
And come up only when there's no one else around
And if by chance someone approaches me
And that someone happens to be a she
You can bet your life in time of worry
I wouldn't hesitate but to be that way

Oh why can't girls just look at me and smile
Instead of looking at me as though
I will turn my head and before I go to bed
Gaily underneath the blanket go

I've even wrote to Marjorie Proops, but she can't help
The best that she could offer me was disguise yourself
Well this I've done would you believe not twice
But more than once in fact I think it was nice
So much so when I'm inclined to hurry
I wouldn't hesitate but to be that way-oh oh oh

Woh! Woh!
