"Christmas With You"

"Christmas With You"



This night, Christmas seems so far away
Somewhere, are you missing me?
I'm wishing and watching
A star and I pray
To live in a world where we all can be free

I'd fly straight to your arms
And never more roam
My spirit is aching,
I want to come home... to you

So I pray to heaven sweet mother and child
That my only wish will come true
I'd give anything just to see you again
And to have this Christmas With You

Here in the distance
Does God hear me say?
Carry me home to you
The world that I love
Is so far away
And you know my heart is true

The road that I traveled
That led me to here
Will lead me back home
And lay me down near....to you

So I pray to heaven sweet mother and child
That my only wish will come true
I'd give anything just to see you again
And to have this Christmas With You

To spend this Christmas with you
I want this Christmas with you

"Cold Feet"

"Cold Feet"



He just turned seventeen
When the moment came
He was standing on the corner
In the pouring rain

She pulled up along side
And rolled the window down
And said "Can I drive you
To some part of town"

He's sitting beside her
With a great big smile
The lady had class
It stood out a mile

His heart was beating
Like a big bass drum
Thinking at last
His time had finally come

He started talkin' fast
Trying to loosen up
But he just felt kinda stupid
So he shut up

She said "don't think I'm fast
'Cause I'm really not"
But his fever went all wild
It was getting hot

She pulled into the driveway
Of a big brown stone
He was champing at the bit
And then her heart be told

She said "My husband's working
He'll be gong all day"
But he couldn't believe it
When he heard himself say

I'm getting Cold Feet
I'm getting Cold Feet
Lady don't ya hear me talking to you
Hey there's something that you can do
I'm so nervous I just might shoot you
I've got them cold, Cold Feet

Well a couple years on
And our hero's grown
He's a professional musician
With a band of his own

Hadn't had much luck
With the girls that he meets
Might get another case of terminal Cold Feet

He met a girl not too long ago
She thought she could change him
But it wasn't so
As soon as she mentioned long term romance
He went into that same old song and dance

I'm getting Cold Feet
C-c-c-c-c- Cold Feet
I'm getting Cold Feet
C -c-c-c-c- Cold Feet
Mamma don't ya hear me talkin' to you
No ain't there something that you can do
I'm so nervous I just might shoot you

I've got cold, cold, cold, cold
Upset about it
Cold, cold, cold, cold
You know I gottem'
Cold, cold, cold, cold
Said I've got them cold, Cold Feet

He increased his quota
Of one night stands
It was kind of a complex
You understand

He would treat'em real mean
He was low down and dirty
Now he's gotta make some changes
Cause he's nearly thirty

Cause see he had a dream
Just the other night
He was standing in God's Ever Present Light
And God said, "I'd like to let your life run it's coarse
But you'd understand I'm having second thoughts"

I'm getting Cold Feet
C-c-c-c- Cold Feet
I'm getting Cold Feet
C-c-c-c- Cold Feet

Richard don't ya here me talking to you
I think you know what you have to do
You gotta make some changes
You got them
Cold, cold, cold, cold
They're getting rigid
Cold, cold, cold, cold
You're getting frigid
Cold, cold, cold, cold
I said you got them cold, Cold Feet

"Come On Everybody"

"Come On Everybody"



Oh come on
Come on
Everybody
Everybody
Sing it
Sing it
Come on
Come on

Everybody, everybody, sing it
Sing it
Though my shoes are thin
Lord lord
And my coat isn't hangin' down
Lord lord
But this song is mine
So's this old guitar

If you've been down the end of time
You'll have seen my face before
Ha!
Though I ain't had a meal in days
Cuz as soon as I start to play
You know it's just for you
Cause I love it here
In this square waiting
Waiting for the people to come
Oh come on
Come on
Everybody
Everybody
Sing it
Sing it
Come on
Come on

Everybody, everybody, sing it
Sing it
Though my shoes are thin
Lord lord
And my coat isn't hangin' down
Lord lord
But this song is mine
So's this old guitar

Oooh I spend my life by the river side
Unless somebody takes me in
If they do or they don't
It's all the same

I live the life I do
Living and singing for free
Cause I love it here
In this square
Waiting for the people to come

Come on
Come on
Oh come on
Come on
Everybody
Everybody
Sing it
Sing it
Come on
Come on

Everybody, everybody, sing it
(Sing it)
Though my shoes are thin
(Lord lord)
And my coat isn't hangin' down
(Lord lord)
But this song is mine
So's this old guitar
All right I said come on!

"Comic Book Heroes"

"Comic Book Heroes"



There's times when real people let me down,
When the temperature falls to zero
I cuddle by the fire with a good book, and
For a while I am a superhero
You really need to be a superhero
'Cause many times people will hurt
You and try to mess you 'round

And anyway, my comic book heroes won't
Let me down
Comic Book Heroes!

"Daddy's Pearl"

"Daddy's Pearl"



So you tell me she's a little cheater
She's a man eater
Yeah that's all right
'Cause I think I know her better
You can keep your chatter
And I know it's gonna be alright

Bite your tongue
You know I don't want to hear this
Bite your tongue
You know I've been told before
And I don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause you're not talking 'bout my girl
She is her Daddy's Pearl
She wouldn't hurt me for the world
Oh Oh Oh

Everybody seems to get their kicks
Waiting for some fixation they ain't' got
That I'm gonna find out
Sooner or later
They're sure it's coming but I know it's not

Bite your tongue
You know I don't want to hear this
Bite your tongue
You know I've been told before
And I don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause you're not talking 'bout my girl
She is her Daddy's Pearl
She wouldn't hurt me for the world
Oh Oh Oh

Daddy's Pearl
You know she's Daddy's Pearl
You know she's Daddy's Pearl
You know she's Daddy's Pearl

Bite your tongue
You know I don't want to hear this
Bite your tongue
You know I've been told before
And I don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause you're not talking 'bout my girl
She is her Daddy's Pearl
She wouldn't hurt me for the world
Oh Oh Oh

"Dance This World Away"

"Dance This World Away"



Everybody looks so spaced out there
Busy bowing to the priests of noise
Turn it up and make it drown out the warning
Bad news for the girls and boys
Everybody looks so romantic
Acting like it's nothing at all
Looking out for number one
Working for the week and living to the beat

Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away

I see people all dressed like Nero
Fiddling while Rome burns in strife
Personal responsibility zero

We've lost that rhythm of life
There's a shadow on our bright horizon
It won't be manna falling out of the sky
The hard rain hits everyone
Working for the week and living to the beat

Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away

Somewhere there is a ship that's sinking
Why do I think that nobody knows
Looking out for number one
Working through the week and dancing to the back beat

Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away
Dance This World Away

"Deck The Halls"

"Deck The Halls"



Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the blazing Yule before us.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Fast away the old year passes.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

"Depravity"

"Depravity"



Running away from the sulfur on the streets
This city burns it never sleeps
The quicksand pulls I can't break free
Let go of me, depravity

And I cannot deny, there’s blisters on my feet
From the fire can you make me complete
Turn this black sheep to family
It’s hard to believe I've slid into this hole
This place has leaked into my soul
Oh let me be depravity

Falling forward I'll be free

Save me from the dark men who came to town
Save me I don’t want to be lost but found
Save me so I won’t burn this whole thing down
Save me from myself and my..
D E P R A V I T Y

Gonna put up a fight just to keep the peace
In the blink of an eye the strong are weak
All upside down this gravity
Taking a side with a heart as black as coal
Making the big green let it roll
This pretty pill depravity

Falling forward I'll be free

Save me from the dark one who comes around
Save me I don’t want to be in this crowd
Save me so I won't tear this to the ground
Save me from myself and my..
D E P R A V I T Y

Save me from the dark men who came to town
Save me, I don’t want to be lost but found
Save me so I won’t burn this whole thing down
Save me, I don’t want to be pushed around
Save me so I won’t tear this to the ground
Save me from myself and my..
D E P R A V I T Y

"Do You Hear What I Hear?"

"Do You Hear What I Hear?"



Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
Listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

"Do You Love Your Children"

"Do You Love Your Children"



Father do you love your children
I heard you do
But Father will you help your children
We need you to
It could be worse I know it's true
But only if we plan
La la la Lady Mary... It's time to show your hand
La la la Lady Mary... And make a few demands

Children do you hope that someone
Is watching you
But do you feel the need for someone
I know I do
I think about it constantly
We really aren't that wise
La la la Lady Mary... Open up our eyes
La la la Lady Mary... And make us realize

First I have a question
("Do you love us")
I would like to know
("Do you love us")
Do you love your children
("Do you love us")
Do you love your children
("Do you love us")
Yes we really need to know
("Do you love us")
I think the time has come for you to show
("Do you love us")
("Do you love us") ("Do you love us")
("Do you love us") ("Do you love us")
("Do you love us") ("Do you love us")
("Do you love us")

Mother, do you love your children
I know you do
But mother do you know your children
Will poison you
The answer does not seem too clear
We look so hard ourselves
La la la Lady Mary... Put your books back on the shelf
La la la Lady Mary... And save us from ourselves

First I have a question
("Do you love us")
I would like to know
("Do you love us")
Do you love your children
("Do you love us")
Do you love your children
("Do you love us")
Yes we really need to know
("Do you love us")
I think the time has come for you to show
("Do you love us")
("Do you love us") ("Do you love us")
("Do you love us") ("Do you love us")
("Do you love us") ("Do you love us")
("Do you love us")
