"Say What You Mean"

"Say What You Mean"


If you wanna tell me something
Say it to my face
Don't you spread no rumours
All around the place
Say what you mean, mean what you say
If you can get along without me
Please don't lie about me
Say what you mean, mean what you say
No good pretending
There ain't nothing wrong
You know that you can't fool me
I've known you too long
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Now don't you try to spare my feelings
Give me no trouble dealing
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't let nobody, stand in your way
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Ain't no good sittin' on the fence
Cos you ain't makin' sense
Say what you mean, mean what you say
You've got to say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't let nobody, stand in your way
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Why don't you use your freedom of speech
And practice what you preach
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Well your attitude is changing like night and day
So confusing when you're acting up this way
You can't be trusted 'til you see it in black and white
Don't try to fool me cos you know that it ain't right
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't let nothing stand in your way
Say what you mean, mean what you say
No need to be inflammatory
Don't give me the hard luck story
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't let nobody, stand in your way
Say what you mean, mean what you say...

"Share Your Love With Me"
(originally by Bobby "Blue" Bland)

"Share Your Love With Me"
(originally by Bobby "Blue" Bland)



Well it's an ill wind that blows no good
It's a sad heart that won't love like it should
And oh how lonesome you must be
And it's a shame if you won't share your love with me
Well it's a heartache when love is gone
But it's bad and even sad later on
And there's no one blinder than he who won't see
And it's a shame if you won't share your love with me
I can't help it if she's gone
You must try to forget
You must live on
And I swear it's a good thing to love someone
But it's bad, even sad when it's not returned
An oh how lonesome you must be, yeah
But it's a shame if you won't share your love with me
Oh it's a shame if you don't share your love with me

"Silent Running"

"Silent Running"


Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
There's a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running?
Calling you, calling you

"Silver Bells"

"Silver Bells"


City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling like Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

"Sleep On It"

"Sleep On It"


Girl I've been listening
You made it very clear
That I've done something wrong
I'm just not sure what it might have been
Every second we spend
Just going around and around again
Will they make a difference
Or am I stumbling in the dark
You know I want to make it right
Willing to talk if it takes all night
Maybe it's better if we try
To settle down and let it lie
Why don't we sleep on it
Everything will be alright
Girl I don't wanna fight
Why don't we sleep on it tonight
Why don't we sleep on it
Cuddle up and make it right
Why don't you dim the light
And we'll just sleep on it tonight
I know it's down to me
It's my responsibility
I just want your happiness
If I've done wrong, then I confess
But there's nothing lost
And I would never count the cost
Tomorrow's another day
I think we've said all we can say
Why don't we sleep on it
I don't really want to fight
Why don't we dim the light
And just sleep on it tonight
Why don't we sleep on it
Cuddle up and make it right
Everything will be alright
If we sleep on it tonight
No matter what you think about me
I'll still be here when the morning comes
Oh yes I will
Why don't we sleep on it
Baby I don't want to fight
Why don't you dim the light
Can we sleep on it tonight

"Sleigh-Ride"

"Sleigh-Ride"


Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop. pop! pop! pop!

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffe and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Iives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

"So Right, So Wrong"

"So Right, So Wrong"


I was walking down the street
With a lot of not much to do
Wondering only if it was gonna rain
When this guy came into view
For a moment I looked crazy
And at first I couldn't work out why
Then something made me turn back the hands of time
To a careless past goodbye

Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
You're so wrong
So tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good

When he walked up
Me I stood there
With this picture in my mind
It was a flash like an old photograph
I keep with me all the time
Fished for silver in my pocket
Then I ran for the telephone
I dialed the number of all the reasons
Why you should button up and come on home

Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
You're so wrong
You're so tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good

Say you will change your mind
Don't be cruel
I'll be kind
You're so right
We're so wrong
You're so tough
So right
So wrong
You're so good
So right
So wrong
We're so tough
And so strong

"Some Kinda Love"

"Some Kinda Love"


Baby you push me a little too hard
Sometimes you pin me down
Catch me off my guard
And when I get outta line
It feels like you squeeze my mind
Baby you twist my words
Like only you know how

My heart can't find a rhythm
It's missing every other beat

Gimme some kinda love baby
Make it like it used to be
Gimme some kinda love baby
I need you right next to me

Sometimes I pushed you
A little too much
Sometimes I crossed that line
And I made you blush
I got a pain I can't nullify
Cos you stop me every single time
We've got to move before it
Becomes too late
You're testing my emotions
Tell me what is there to prove

Gimme some kinda love baby
Make it like it used to be
Gimme some kinda love baby
I ain't so hard to please

"Somewhere In Your Heart"

"Somewhere In Your Heart"


They say in time all the truth comes to light
When you can see past the wrong and the right
There's a feelin' inside stronger than pride
Finds me every lonely night
Well I have searched the past in my mind
How we failed to see the danger signs
Well one good reason why we let our love die
Is something that I've failed to find

Somewhere in your heart
There's a lonely part that beats for me
Somewhere in your broken heart
There's a lonely part that beats for me

Well I have cried till my tears have turned cold
I'd trade my pride for peace in my soul
Please don't make me pay for the rest of my days
For emotions that ran out of control
We've all but closed the door on our past
And this one chance may well be our last
So before you decide one last look inside
Is all my shattered dreams can ask

Somewhere in your heart

"Stepping Stone"

"Stepping Stone"


I know I was just your stepping stone.
You're not fooling anybody.
Now I'm wise to your lies.
I know I was just your stepping stone.
Well, there's got to be a reason.
I don't need to know why.
I was goin' along, mindin' my own business.
Like I always do.
Meanwhile, you're makin' your move.
But I never knew.
Well, I'm still analyzing the things that you said.
Every word that I missed been over my head.
Why was I such a fool to believe you cared for me?
Now I see.
I know
I was just your stepping stone.
You're not fooling anybody
I don't need no more lies
I know
I was just your stepping stone.
Well, there's got to be a reason
I don't need to know why
You can call me naive if you want to
I neva thought this could happen to me
And they say there's no fool like an old fool
That I agree
Woah, but every mistake that you make in your life
Is okay as long as you don't make it twice
Don't let it stop you from rolling your dice again!
I know
I was just your stepping stone
You're not fooling anybody
I don't need no more lies.
I know
I was just your stepping stone
Well, there's got to be a reason
I don't need to know why
You say I am learning my lesson
And one day it might be true
But what goes around always comes around
One day it might be you!
I know I was just your stepping stone
You're not fooling anybody
I don't need no more lies.
I was just your stepping stone.
