"Appreciate"

"Appreciate"


Lift up your head
And remember what your life is
Don't have to give it all away
When you're left for dead
In the middle of a crisis
You must appreciate the day

There's something there
But you're frightened to invite it
Beware of pushing it away
Show that you care
And be certain you don't fight it
You must appreciate the day

She says you don't give back what you take
She got evidence you don't appreciate her love
She says it's all a show and no-go
You drop everything, give back
Reciprocate her love

Lift up your head
And remember what your life is
Don't have to give it all away
When you're left for dead
In the middle of a crisis
You must appreciate the day

She says you don't give back what you take
She got evidence you don't appreciate her love
She says it's all a show and no-go
You drop everything, give back
Reciprocate her love

There's something there
But you're frightened to invite it
Beware of pushing it away
Show that you care
And be certain you don't fight it
You must appreciate the day

"Arrow Through Me"

"Arrow Through Me"


Ooh, baby, you couldn't have done a worse thing to me
If you'da taken an arrow and run it right through me. ooh.
Ooh baby, a bird in the hand is worth two flyin'
But when it came to love, I'd knew you'd be lyin'.
It could have been a finer thing,
Would have been a major attraction
With no other thing: offering a note of distraction.
come on, get up, get under way, bring your love.
Ooh baby, you wouldn't have found a more down hero
If you'da started at nothing and counted to ze-e-ro.

oo-oo-oo.
Ooh baby, you couldn't have done a worse thing to me
If you'da taken an arrow and run it right through me.
It could have been a finer thing
Would have been amajor attraction
If no other thing than offering a no love distraction
Come on, get up, get under way, bring your love.
Ooh baby, you wouldn't have found a more down hero
If you'da started at nothing and counted the ze-e-ro.

"At The Mercy"

"At The Mercy"


At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy road,
Who can handle such a heavy load?

At the mercy, At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day,
We can think of nothing more to say

If you show me love, I won't refuse
I know you'd never make me choose
Between the love I've got and the love I'd lose

Sometimes I'd rather run and hide,
Then stay and face the fear inside

At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day,
Who can bear to turn their head away?

At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy road
We can watch the universe explode

If you take me up, I won't say no
I guess you'd rather see me grow
Into a better man than the one you know

Sometimes my head is hanging low
It's time to get on with the show

At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
I can think of nothing more to say

"Average Person"

"Average Person"


Look At The Average Person
Speak To The Man In The Street
Can You Imagine The First One You'd Meet?

Well, I'm Talking To A Former Engine Driver
Trying To Find Out What He Used To Do
Tells Me That He Always Kept His Engine
Spit And Polished Up As Good As New
But He Said His Only Great Ambition
Was To Work With Lions In A Zoo
Oh To Work With Lions In A Zoo
Yes Dear, You Heard Right
Told Me His Ambition Was To Work With Lions Every Night

Look At The Average Person
Speak To The Man On The Beat
Can You Imagine The First One You'd Meet?

Well, I Met A Woman Working As A Waitress
I Asked Exactly What It Was She Did
Said She Worked The Summer Crowd At Seasides
Winter Time She Ran Away And Hid
Once She Had A Hollywood Audition
But The Part Was Given To A Kid
Yes,The Part Was Given To A Kid
Yes Sir, You Heard It Right
Hollywood Ambition Made A Starlet Grown Up Overnight

Well I Bumped Into A Man Who'd Been A Boxer
Asked Him What Had Been His Greatest Night
He Looked Into The Corners Of His Memory
Searching For A Picture Of The Fight
But He Said He Always Had A Feeling
That He Lacked A Little Extra Height
(Could Have Used A Little Extra Height)
Yes Mate, You Heard Right
He Always Had A Feeling That He Might Have Lacked A Little Height

Look At The Average Person
Speak To The Man In The Queue
Can You Imagine The First One Is You?

Look At The Average Person.

"Baby's Request"

"Baby's Request"


When the moon lays his head on a pillow
And the stars settle down for a rest,
Just do me one small favour, I beg you,
Please play me my baby's request.
It's the song that we heard when we started.
Now the birds have all flown from our nest,
But you could bring back mem'ries departed
By playing my baby's request.
My baby said that she knows how it goes
But you're the one who really knows,
So go ahead, just one more time and then we'll go to bed.

Please! Play me my baby's request -- one more time.

"Back In The Sunshine Again"

"Back In The Sunshine Again"


Here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries
and no more pain

We're leaving behind
All our troubles and strife
And that's the way it's gonna be
For the rest of my life

Here we are, here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries, no more worries
And no more pain, no more pain

Life's too short, to spend it lonely
You only throw it away
Listen to your voice of reason, call it a day

Take a ride, take a ride
Out to the land of the free
Don't hurry take your time, take your time
Come and spend it with me

Back in the sunshine
Back in the sunshine

Here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries, no more worries
And no more pain

Life's too short, to spend it lonely
You only throw it away
Listen to your voice of reason, call it a day

Here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries, no more worries
And no more pain

Here we are
Back in the sunshine again
No more worries or pain
And no more pain

Back in the sunshine again
No more worries
Back in the sunshine again

"Back In The U.S.S.R."

"Back In The U.S.S.R."


Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm.
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

"Back On My Feet"

"Back On My Feet"


How many days will the wet weather last?
I want know will the clouds
When they roll back
Reveal a man in an old mac
Living on a park bench
Sitting on his own?

Cut the rain as it runs down the glass
Eventually through the lightning and thunder
We see a man going under
This is how it happens
This is what he said

I don't need love
Though temptation is sweet
Give me your hand
'Til I'm back on me feet
You're always telling me about my misery
I've seen things you will never see
Don't pity me

Focus in on the breath of a man
Who takes a brown paper bag
From his knapsack
Between his whispers and wise cracks
He's looking for permission
Screaming at the sky

I don't need love
though temptation is sweet
Give me your hand
'Til I'm back on me feet
You're always telling me about my misery
I've seen things you will never see
Don't pity me

I'll be right again
Be upright without you
I'll stand up again
Kick up a fuss again too

Cut back again to a girl walking by
Until the feet that are all shoes and no socks
Climb an invisible soap box
Laughing at the traffic
Shouting at the world

I don't need love
though temptation is sweet
Give me your hand
'Til I'm back on me feet
You're always telling me about my misery
I've seen things you will never see
Don't pity me

I'll stand up again
Kick up a fuss again too
I'll be right again
Be upright without you

We see a life through the eyes of a man
As he live and he dies
By a simple tattoo

I'll be back again
When I land on my feet
I'll stand up again
Kick up a fuss again, wouldn't you

Well there you go, though we tried hard to know him
It's there on his face
He's a case where there's clearly no hope

Give me your hand again
'Til I land again

His face starts to fade
As we pull down the shade
And the picture we made
Is in glorious cinemascope

I'll be back...

"Backwards Traveller"

"Backwards Traveller"


Hey, did you know that i'm
Always going back in time
Rhyming slang, auld lang syne my dears
Through the years
I am the backwards traveller
Ancient wool unraveller
Sailng songs, wailing on the moon

And we were sailing songs, wailing on the moon
Wailing on the moon.

"Ballroom Dancing"

"Ballroom Dancing"


Well I Used To Smile When I Was A Pup
Sailing Down The Nile In China Cup
With The Recipe For A Lovely Day
Sticking Out My Back Pocket

But It Wasn't Always Such A Pretty Sight
'Cos We Used To Fight Like Cats And Dogs
Till Me Made It Up In The Ballroom

Ballroom Dancing Made A Man Of Me
One, Two, Three, Four
I Just Plain Adore Your
Ballroom Dancing, Seen It On Tv
I Got What I Got From Ballroom Dancing
Big B.D.

Well I Used To Fly When I Was A Kid
And I Didn't Cry If It Hurt A Bit
An A Carpet Ride To A Foreign Land
At The Time Of Davy Crockett

But It Wasn't Always Such A Pretty Sight
'Cos We Used To Fight Like Cats And Dogs
Till Me Made It Up In The Ballroom

Ballroom Dancing Made A Man Of Me
One, Two, Three, Four
I Just Plain Adore Your
Ballroom Dancing, Seen It On Tv
I Got Quite A Lot From Ballroom Dancing
Big B.D.

Well Went So Fast And We All Grew Up
Now The Days That Passed In The China Cup
Are The Memories Of Another Day
And I Wouldn't Want To Knock It

But It Wasn't Always Such A Pretty Sight
'Cos We Used To Fight Like Cats And Dogs
Till Me Made It Up In The Ballroom

Ballroom Dancing Made A Man Of Me
One, Two, Three, Four
I Just Plain Adore Your
Ballroom Dancing, Seen It On Tv
I Got Quite A Lot From Ballroom Dancing
Big B.D.

Oh!...
