"Don't Pass Me By"

"Don't Pass Me By"

I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive
Waiting for your knock dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it
Does it mean you don't love me any more.

I hear the clock a'ticking
On the mantel shelf
See the hands a'moving
But I'm by myself
I wonder where you are tonight
And why I'm by myself
I don't see you
Does it mean you don't love me any more.

Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by don't make me cry

I'm sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
You said you would be late
About an hour or two
I said that's alright I'm waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you.

"Dream"

"Dream"

Dream, when you're feeling blue,
Dream, that's the thing to do.
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air,
You'll find your share
Of memories there.

So dream, when the night is through,
Dream, and they might come true.
Things never are as bad as they seem,
So dream, dream, dream.

Dream, when you're feeling blue,
Dream, that's the thing to do.
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air,
You'll find your share
Of memories there.

So dream, when the night is through,
Dream, and they might come true.
Things never are as bad as they seem,
So dream, dream, dream.

"Drift Away"

"Drift Away"

One, two, three, four
Give me the beat, boys,
Give me the beat, boys.

Day after day i'm more confused
But i look for the light through the pouring rain.
You know, that's a game that i hate to lose,
I'm feeling the strain,
Ain't it a shame?

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

I'm beginning to think that i'm wasting time
And i don't understand the things i do.
Yeah, the world outside looks so unkind,
Now it's up to you to carry me through.

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

And when my mind is free
You know, the melody can move me.
And when i'm feeling blue,
The guitar's coming through to soothe me, yeah.

Thanks for the joy you've given me,
I want you to know that i believe in the song.
The rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along,
You're making me strong.

Give me the beat, boys,
Give me the beat, boys.
Come on!

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Give me the beat, boy. [scat sing]

"Drowning In The Sea Of Love"

"Drowning In The Sea Of Love"

I've been down one time,
And i've been down two times,
But now i'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love.

I've been here so very long,
I've lost all my directions.
But, baby, when you came my way,
I thought i had found perfection.
But a strong wind came into my life,
It surely took me by surprise,
I can't seem to control these tears flowing from my eyes.

I've been down (one time) one time,
I've been down (two times) two times,
But i'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love.

You know that i depend on you,
For our love's an obligation.
But now that you deserted me,
I'm in desperation.
But i'm in the middle of a bad love storm,
It really took me by surprise.
I look around and all i see is water coming over me.

I've been down (one time) one time,
I've been down (two times) two times,
But i'm drowning, hear me, drowning in the sea of love.

I've been down one time,
And i've been down (two times) two times,
But now i'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love.

Drowning, you know i'm drowning.
(watch your love, watch your love, yeah-hey)
(watch your love, watch your love)
I'm going down for the last time!

Drowning in the sea of love - drowning,
Drowning in the sea of love - drowning,
Drowning in the sea of love - falling,
Drowning in the sea of love - falling,
Drowning in the sea of love,
Drowning in the sea of love,
Drowning in the sea of love,
Drowning in the sea of love.

Watch your love, watch your love,
Watch your love, watch your love,
Watch your love, watch your love.

Drowning in the sea of love - drowning,
Drowning in the sea of love - drowning,
Drowning in the sea of love - falling,
Drowning in the sea of love - falling.

One time.
Two times.
Drowning, drowning in the sea of love.
One time.
Two times.
I'm going down two times.
(drowning) drowning, drowning in the sea of love.
I've been down (one time) one time,
And i've been down (two times) two times,
But i'm drowning, drowning in the sea of love.

Whoa!

Drowning in the sea of love, i'm drowning!
Drowning in the sea of love, i'm falling!
Drowning in the sea of love, yeah!
Drowning in the sea of love,
Drowning in the sea of love,
Drowning in the sea of love.

"Drumming Is My Madness"

"Drumming Is My Madness"

Drumming is my madness,
Drumming is my business.

Drumming is my pleasure,
Drumming makes me happy.

Drumming makes me lose control,
Drumming makes me rock and roll, yeah.

Watch me now, rizz off!

Do you think i'm sexy?
Do you think i'm silly?
Try a little tenderness, too.

Drumming is my middle name,
Drumming makes me go insane.

I got rhythm,
You got rhythm, too.

Here we go again!!

Drumming is my madness,
Drumming makes me crazy, ha! Ha! Ha!

Ho!

Drumming is my hobby,
Drumming is a friend of mine.

Is it any wonder?
You can call me thunder,
My friends' name is lightning too.

"Early 1970"

"Early 1970"

Lives on a farm, got plenty of charm, beep, beep.
He's got no cows but he's sure got a whole lotta sheep.
And brand new wife and a family,
And when he comes to town,
I wonder if he'll play with me.

Laying in bed, watching tv, cookie!
With his mama by his side, she's japanese.
They scream and they cried, now they're free,
And when he comes to town,
I know he's gonna play with me.

He's a long-haired, cross-legged guitar picker, um-um.
With his long-legged lady in the garden picking daisies for his soup.
A forty acre house he doesn't see,
'Cause he's always in town
Playing for you with me.

I play guitar, a - d - e.
I don't play bass 'cause that's too hard for me.
I play the piano if it's in c.
And when i go to town i wanna see all three,
And when i go to town i wanna see all three,
And when i go to town i wanna see all three.

"Easy For Me"

"Easy For Me"

Nobody loved her, it was easy to see,
That made it easy for me.
The boys never fought over her company,
That made it easy for me.

Love so bright could only blind us,
How could reason hope to find us,
Hiding in the milky way,
Without a star to shine the way?

Sand castles fell from the tears in our eyes,
That made it easier to see.
Now the dream's over and i realise,
That makes it easy for me.

"Elizabeth Reigns"
(feat. Van Dyke Parks)

"Elizabeth Reigns"
(feat. Van Dyke Parks)

Elizabeth reigns
Over and under
Elizabeth reigns
Lightning and thunder
Elizabeth reigns
Since I was younger
She's head of the family
Elizabeth reigns over me.

The Queen mum is dead
But she lives in my head
Since the world was at war
We all felt her pain
But never complained
We all loved her more.

Elizabeth reigns ...

A letter unsent
Entombed in cement
And hung from the hanging tree
God save the Queen
If you know what I mean
We don't really need a king.

Six hundred servants
Use her detergent
Scrubbing the palace floor
And all of your sins are
As big as the Windsors
So lets point our fingers
No more.

Elizabeth reigns ...

Elizabeth reigns
Over me.

"English Garden"

"English Garden"

I want you to see all of the flowers
We'll shoot to breeze for hours and hours
Buttercups grow, high at the towers
What do I see, I beg your pardon
Barbara and me in our English garden.

Barbara, buster and me in our English garden
(and you too Monty) in our English garden.

Someone's knockin' at the door
Someone's ringin' my bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
Someone's ringin' my bell.
