"Step Lightly"

"Step Lightly"

Step lightly,
You're movin' too fast.
Take your time, boy,
Soon the pain will pass.
In the meantime,
You gotta find yourself a love
That's gonna last.

Step lightly,
Things will work out fine.
Nice and easy,
All it takes is time.
Please, believe me,
I wish this song was yours instead of mine.

Now don't be angry at what i'm telling you,
I'd be happy if you would see it too.
But in the meantime,
Find yourself a love that's true to you.

(ah -)
(sha la la)

But in the meantime, (meantime)
Find yourself a love that's gonna last.

Now I told you,
Things don't work out fast,
Gotta go now,
Let's forget the past.
But in the meantime, (in the meantime)
You gotta find yourself a love that's gonna last.
You gotta find yourself a love that's gonna last.
You gotta find yourself a love that's gonna last.

(in the meantime)
You gotta find a love that last.
(in the meantime)
You gotta find a love that last.

"Stop And Take The Time To Smell The Other Roses"

"Stop And Take The Time To Smell The Other Roses"

One, two, three, four.

Stop and take the time to smell the roses,
I said, stop and take the time to fill your noses,
Stop as you stroll through life, ("pitter patter, pitter patter")
Stop and take the time to talk it over with your wife.

I said, stop and take the time, take the time to read the label,
Stop, you must remember clark and betty grable.
Stop, there's no train to catch, no there isn't, rose!
No, no, no.

Come on, ev'rybody, you've gotta stop!
Stop on the highway,
Stop when you're in your car on that highway,
Roll down your window,
Look for a man in a porsche and say,
"fuck it, brother, let's get out and walk, let's go! Can you hear me?"

Stop,
Stop when you're in your ford cortina
You know when you're accident prone,
Nobody likes you.
Wave to a man in a rolls
'Cause he knows how to live, ha! Ha!...

Well, i said, stop and take the time to stop that smoking,
Stop, there's no train to catch,
You won't be blue.
You, you, you.

"well, i was walking down the street the other day,
You know, and i said to myself, what's all this hurry,
What's all this hustle and bustle.
Why don't i just stop, look at the pretty roses,
Smell them for one moment, take the time to see,
Take the time to smell, have a good time in life.
Don't let ev''rything pass you by, you're only here once
And i've been here longer than most of you."

So stop and take the time to buy this album,
So i can plant roses and smell them all day long.
Stop ev'rything you're doing,
Run to your local record shop and say,
"give me that record called 'stop'"
I'm going crazy with this record business,
I wanna stop it, you want me to stop it,
Ev'rybody wants it to stop.

Well, i'm leaving you now,
'Cause i just got to stop.
I'm gonna stop it now.

"Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond)"

"Sunshine Life For Me (Sail Away Raymond)"

Uh-hoo!

It's a sunshine life for me,
If i could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.

It's a sunshine life for me,
If i could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.

There's a good life had for free,
When you're out in the country.
That's what i could use,
If i could get away there soon.

It's a sunshine life for me,
If i could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.

There's a good life had at sea,
If you're not in the navy.
That's the life for you,
Sail away, raymond, sail away.

Ho!

Ah!

Now most folks just bore me,
Always imposing
And i'd rather meet a tree
Somewhere out in the cornfield.

And it's a sunshine...

It's a sunshine life for me,
If i could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.

It's a sunshine life for me,
If i could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.

It's a sunshine life for me,
If i could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.

And it's a sunshine,
I said, sunshine,
It's a sunshine.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Hoo!

"Sure To Fall (In Love With You)"

I'm sure to fall,
Fall in love,
I'm sure to fall in love with you.

You are so sweet
And we are so near,
I'm sure to fall in love with you.

So hold me tight,
Let tonight be the night.
Darlin', don't ever let me go.

For lovin' you,
Is the natural thing to do,
I want you for the rest of my life.

So hold me tight,
Let tonight be the night.
Darlin', don't ever let me go.

For lovin' you,

Is the natural thing to do,
I want you for the rest of my life.

What did you say?
I want you for the rest of my life.

"Take The Long Way Home"
(feat. Roger Hodgson)

"Take The Long Way Home"
(feat. Roger Hodgson)

So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture show
Take the long way home
take the long way home

'Cause you're the joke
of the neighbourhood
Why should you care

if you're feeling good
Take the long way home,
take the long way home

But there are times that you feel
you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is coming down boy
And then your wife seems to think
you're part of the furniture
Oh it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home,
take the long way home

And when you're up on stage,
it's so unbelievable
Unforgettable - how they adore you
But then your wife seems to think
you're losing your sanity
Oh, calamity, is there no way out

Well does it feel that your life's
become a catastrophe
Oh it has to be for you to grow boy
And when you look through the years
and see what you could have been
Oh what you might have been -
if you'd had more time

So when the day comes
to settle down
Well who's to blame
if you're not around
You took the long way home
Took the long way home...

"Tango All Night"

"Tango All Night"

We were playing at a club in costa rica,
Where the latin lovers come to find romance,
When the lady who was dancin' on the tables looked our way.

I wanna tango all night, mambo till daylight,
That was all she said.
But when she showed us how, i almost lost my head.

Then she took us to a little hacienda,
We were hopin' that her mama was away.
Then the lady who was dancin' through her garden turned to say:

I wanna tango all night, mambo till daylight,
That was all she said.
But when she showed us how, i almost lost my head.

I wanna tango all night, rumba by moonlight,
That was what she said.
And when she told us why, our faces all turned red.

We'll do the samba too,
And cha cha through the room.
But when her mama, sisters and brothers danced they,
They began to sing:

We wanna tango all night, that was what they said.
And when they all showed up, i knew we've been misled.

We wanna tango all night, ay ay ay ay ay,
We're gonna mambo all night, ay ay ay ay ay,
We're gonna rumba all night, ay ay ay ay ay.

I said, tango all night,
Rumba in the moonlight, (ay ay ay ay ay)
We're gonna tango all night, (ay ay ay ay ay)
We're gonna tango all night, (ay ay ay ay ay)
Oh, rumba all night long. (ay ay ay ay ay)

"The Christmas Dance"

"The Christmas Dance"

Mm-

Tonight's the christmas dance in london town,
The lights are up, the snow is falling down.
Like ev'ry year i catch your eye acros the floor
But too afraid to do much more.

At the christmas dance,
That magic time of year when dreams come true.
Yeh, the christmas dance,
The only dance i wanna dance is you.
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance
At the christmas dance.

I combed my hair and straightened out my tie,
This year i'm gonna ask you do or die
And i'll need ev'ry ounce of courage i can find,
Feet don't fail me, love be kind.

At the christmas dance,
That magic time of year when dreams come true.
The christmas dance,
The only dance i wanna dance is you.
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance,
At the christmas dance.

No more searching love at last (no more searching love at last)
No more ghosts of christmas past (no more ghosts of christmas past)
Under the mistletoe we kissed and danced so slow.

Ho!

And when our children ask of the meaning of romance

At the christmas dance,
That magic time of year when dreams come true.
At the christmas dance,
The only dance i wanna dance is you.
The music's playing, hearts are swaying to the rhythm of romance,
At the christmas dance.

(oh, the christmas dance)
(yeah, the christmas dance)
(oh, the christmas dance)
(yeah, the christmas dance, yeah)

Merry christmas!
(yeah, the christmas dance, yeah)
Merry christmas! Yeah,
Merry christmas! Yes! Yeah! Yeah!

At the christmas dance!

"The Little Drummer Boy"

Come they told me, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,
A new born king to see, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum pum-pum-pum
To lay before the king, pa-rum pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum.
So to honor him, pa-rum pum-pum-pum, when we come.

Little baby, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,
I'm a poor boy too, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,
I have no gift to bring, pa-rum pum-pum-pum
That's fit to give our king, pa-rum pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum.
Shall i play for you, pa-rum pum-pum-pum, on my drum.

Mary nodded, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,
I played my drum for him, pa-rum pum-pum-pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum.
Then he smiled at me, pa-rum pum-pum-pum, me and my drum.

"The Other Side Of Liverpool"

"The Other Side Of Liverpool"

I was a sailor first, I sailed the sea
Then I got a job, in a factory
Played Butlin's Camp with my friend Rory
It was good for him, it was great for me

Livepool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Madryn Street
I always followed my heart, and I never missed a beat
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down

Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on
With George & Paul, and my friend John
We rocked all night, we all looked tough
We didn't have much, but we had enough

Livepool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Madryn Street
I always followed my heart, and I never missed a beat
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down

In the U.S.A. when we played Shea
We were Number One, and it was fun
When I look back, it sure was cool
For those Four Boys from Liverpool

Livepool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Admiral Grove
I always followed my heart, so I took it on the road
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down

La la la la la la... Liverpool
