"Victor E"

"Victor E"


This pleasure book I'm writing
Doesn't give me any thrill
All it does is prove conclusively
Where there's a way there's Will
Who by the way along with Mary
Peter, Patsy, and Paul.
Has the cheek to turn the other
When the other was on the ball

It will be done Thy will become
Not This or That or Thee
But something far more mature
Like Victor E.

I can't forget the moment
Of my very first affair
When the lights were low
The music so soft Fred, my record player
Began to do the two step
Side by side my prize antique
And before you know it there they were
Engaging cheek to cheek

It will be done Thy will become
Not This or That or Thee
But something far more mature
Like Victor E.

If ever there's a moment
I feel absolutely sure
That what I'm about to verge upon
Won't rate the least obscure
Then just to recap on that point
I'd like now this to say
When the Indians begin to charge
What will the Cavalry pay

It will be done Thy will become
Not This or That or Thee
But something far more mature
Like Victor E.

"Water Music"

"Water Music"


Let the water music
Take you to the brim
Let the water music
Take you for a swim
Let the water music
Teach you to roll
Let the water music
Soothe your soul

Let the rhythm of it
Wash you away
Let the vision of it
Be of a bay
Let the crowd around you
Sink down a hole
Let the water music
Soothe your soul

Water music is the essence of life
Jump into it and it opens up wide
Off your shoulder
It can carry the weight
Water music is great

Let the water music
Fill you to the brim
Let the water music
Hold your breath in
Let the running of it
Gently cajole
Let the water music
Soothe your soul

Water music is the essence of life
It can rid you of all trouble and strife
Jump into it as it opens its gate
Water music is great

Let the water music
Fill you to the brim
Let the water music
Take you for a swim
Let the water music
Get you to roll
Let the water music
Soothe your soul
Let the water music
Soothe your soul

Let the water music soothe your soul

Water music is the essence of life
Jump into it and it opens up wide
Off your shoulder
It can carry the weight
Water music is great

Let the water music
Take you to the brim
Let the water music
Take you for a swim
Let the water music
Get you to roll
Let the water music
Soothe your soul
Let the water music
Soothe your soul

"We Will"

"We Will"


It's over now
You've had your fun
Get up them stairs go on quickly don't run
Take off your shoes the both of you's and leave them down outside the door
Turn the landing light off,
No wait, leave it on it
It might make the night
That much easier to be gone
And in the morning who'll be wide awake
And eating snow flakes as
Opposed to those flakes
(We will) we will (we will) we will

That afternoon we spend the day
With uncle Frank (remember?) and his wife auntie Mae
Well do you know
Since then I've received
Up to four letters all of which repeat the same
They say thrilled to bits
Can't believe you came
We relived it both
Over time and time again
And if there's
Even a chance or even half
You might be our way
Would you promise to stay
(We will) We will (We will) We Will
Yeah..yeah..yeah

Oh its not easy pretending
That you cannot hear
Once you've suffered the reflections within
It's no use in an ending
To proclaim from the start that the
Moral of the stories to begin.

"What A Way (To Show I Love You)"

"What A Way (To Show I Love You)"


If and when you want me to
I'll be right there by your side
If and then you can't be sure
I can help you to decide
It's no secret any longer
Come to think it
It wasn't even at the start
In my heart where you reign

You'd have thought by now
That something would upset the balance
But as yet nothing has come along

What a way to show I love you
Underneath the floor above you
What a way to give each other a ride
What a way to face the future
Knowing you'll be always true to her
What a way to keep each other alive

I'm a great believer in
The thoughts of anywhere and how
I would say that all the things
You want are yours right here and now
Don't forget I've learnt my lesson
Had the opportunity to make many mistakes
In the days before you came

And although I find it hard
To let myself look foolish
It doesn't mean we don't have any fun

What a way to show I love you
Other than below or above you
What a way to kiss each other goodbye
What a way to start tomorrow
Knowing that there'll be no sorrow
What a way to keep each other alive

What a way to show I love you
Underneath the floor above you
What a way to give each other a ride
What a way to face the future
Knowing you'll be always true to her
What a way to keep each other alive

"What Am I Doing Here With You"

"What Am I Doing Here With You"


I do my best to please you
You know I would never leave you
Or would I ever let you down
Whenever we are parted
I get so broken hearted
However silly that may sound
I think you're something special
That's why I would like to settle
Once and for all this silly feud
You say I love another
But girl if I love another tell me
What am I doing here with you
I've been to far off places
I've seen all kinds of faces
A few of which I've even come to know
I've had my share of romance
Right from the days of holding hands
Up to as far as you can go
That's why with you it's different
That's why I'm pleading innocent
To the charges you believe are true
You say I love another
But girl if I love another tell me
What am I doing here with you

How can you sit there telling me where I have been
I don't believe that this is real must be a dream
They say there comes a time in everyone's life
When the right thing to do seems wrong
Baby I love you, you know I do
So tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on

How could you ever doubt me
Is there something about me
That makes you feel the way you do
You say I love another
But girl if I love another tell me
What am I doing here with you

I do my best to please you
You know I would never leave you
Or would I ever let you down
Whenever we are parted
I get so broken hearted
However silly that may sound
I think you're something special
That's why I would like to settle
Once and for all this silly feud
You say I love another
But girl if I love another tell me
Tell me, tell me
What am I doing here with you
What am I doing here with you
What am I doing here with you

"What Could Be Nicer (Mum The Kettle's Boiling)"

"What Could Be Nicer (Mum The Kettle's Boiling)"


Mum, the kettle's boiling
Daddy what's the time
Sis, look what you're doing
Can't you see the baby's crying
Tell your Uncle Tony
Helen wants to know
Did he get the letter
That she sent a week ago
All in all what could be nicer
Than two people young at heart
Looking forward to the future
That together they will start
When you think of all those people
Who are left out in the cold
All because they never dreamed
That they'd be written off as old
Mum, the kettle's boiling
Dad, 'ere what's the time
Sis, look what you're doing
Can't you see the baby's crying
Can't you see the baby's crying

"What You See Is What You Get"

"What You See Is What You Get"


You don't know me, I don't know you,
We're like strangers coming out of the blue,
We call each other by different names,
My name is Tarzan baby, your's could be Jane,
Looks like rain, I think there could be snow,
These days somehow you just never know,
The weather bureau are finding it hard,
Yesterday's sunshine caught them off their guard
What you see is what you get,
What you are is what you expect,
You expect, oh, I've no secrets to keep from you,
Not that that's something I wouldn't do,
We all have secrets that we keep to ourselves,
Mine is what I love to, but I'm afraid I can't tell
What you see is what you get,
What you are is what you expect,
You expect, what you see is what you get,
What you are is what you expect,
You expect, what you see is what you get,
What you are is what you expect, you expect

"What's In A Kiss"

"What's In A Kiss"


What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is?
More, perhaps, than just a moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss

What's in a dream?
Is it all the things you'd like to have been?
All the places that you haven't yet seen?
Tell me what's in a dream

I know it's really rather stupid of me
But I honestly don't know
Every time I try to find a solution
I'm surprised at how quickly I become so slow.

What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is?
More perhaps than just a moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss

An any time you need a light refreshment
Baby, you can count on my
I am your very own delicatessen
While equipped to supply you if you're ever in need

What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is?
More perhaps than just a moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss
Tell me what's in a kiss
Tell me what's in a kiss

"What's It All Supposed To Mean"

"What's It All Supposed To Mean"


Tell me what's happening to this world
I've just seen pictures of a girl
Lying half-naked in a stream
She was so fall of life
Yet in one moment killed by a knife
Will somebody tell me
What's it all supposed to mean?

Sign on the door says go away
Sign on the grass says you will pay
Dearly if on it you are seen
Ask your neighbour's the time
They'll close their curtains pull down the blinds
Will somebody tell me
What's it all supposed to mean?

You can say what you like
About a bike it does ring a bell at least
Why provide cars that break every law we make
Not the least of which is the speed they can exceed
You can say what you like
About goodbyes
They boost tissue sales at least
I don't know anyone whose love has gone
Who does not require a multitude of these

A clip round the ear it must be said
Never hurt anyone instead
Taught you a lesson you'd not seen
And yet do that today
You could so easily be put in jail
Will somebody tell me
What's it all supposed to mean?

"When To Today"

"When To Today"


When I call you will you tell me what to do
Cos I've reached a point where I depend on you
To supply me and rewind me every time that I go down
On the ground I see a face
It reminds me of a place I used to go
With you when I was a boy of seventeen
At least I think it was, if not somewhere between
That amount of fun I've not got
A lot of time to spare
Everywhere there's people staring
They think I am wearing funny clothes
Who knows, where I can go
For a meal there's a real restaurant in town

Who knows, where I can go
For a meal there's a real restaurant in town

I can see you looking through your little hole
In a wall just twice the thickness of the sole
On my shoe, I'm telling you you'd better all that I said
And be ready to go away
Anytime today
