"Bad Time"

"Bad Time"


If you need a car to drive
Take my key
Need some honey in your hive
Well I’m your bee

[Chorus:]
Well I’m giving it all, it’s never enough
The way you play ball is a little too rough
You picked a bad time to put me down

If you’re looking for a home
My house is yours
Need a dog to bring your bone
I’m down on all fours

[Chorus]

50 million, 50 cents
Just put it down to experience
Make a touchdown, hit the goal
Just give me back my soul

[Chorus]

"Birthday Boy"

"Birthday Boy"


Down at the bottom of the stairs sits the birthday boy
Reading letters in between the lines
Ready for a little trip to the seaside
Hoping he can make it there on time
Sitting in the station watching choo choo trains
With wheels to take him clicking down the line
The sky is getting darker, but if it rains
It's nicer when the sun comes out to shine
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, and hurry home for
Tea is waiting on the table for the birthday boy
Grandfather's clock is ticking in the hall
Sitting by the fire, now the birthday boy
Is feeling very sleepy, very small
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
He's had a busy day, tomorrow's on it's way
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea
Time to leave the sea, time to leave the sea

"Bluebird"

"Bluebird"


Sittin in the wood alone
On silver tree that turned to stone
Branches growin overhead
Make your house and feather bed

Shiny beak and shiny eyes
Join the winter paradise
Singin to the settin sun
Prayin for the day thats done

Growin quieter as you watch the snow
Fallin down, down, down, down
If you want to know his heart
Listen, listen to the bluebird sing

If I had a voice like thine
Melody like summer wine
From sunshine islands, I would bring
Music to the newborn king

Growin quieter as you watch the snow
Fallin down, down, down, down
If you want to know his heart
Listen, listen to the bluebird sing

Growin quieter as you watch the snow
Fallin down, down, down, down
If you want to know his heart
Listen, listen to the bluebird sing

Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do

"Born Under A Bad Sign"
(originally by Cream)

"Born Under A Bad Sign"
(originally by Cream)



Born under a bad sign,
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.

Bad luck and trouble been my only friend,
I've been down ever since I was ten.

Born under a bad sign,
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.

Never learned to read
Don’t know how to write,
My only life has been one long fight.

Born under a bad sign,
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.

You know, wine and whiskey may be all I crave,
And one of these days they’ll take me to my grave.

Born under a bad sign,
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.

Bad luck boy,
Had bad luck all my days.

"Bridge Of Sighs"

"Bridge Of Sighs"


The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
To wash me clean

The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides
To wash me clean
Why so unforgiving, and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs

Cold wind blows
The Gods look down in anger,
On this poor child

Cold wind blows
And Gods look down in anger,
On this poor child

Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs

"Caledonia"

"Caledonia"


Caledonia, Caledonia
Seeing you walk by
Make a river twist and shout
Shakes the birds right from the sky

[Chorus:]
Caledonia, who could own ya
Spirit of romance
Caledonia, Caledonia, dance

Caledonia, Caledonia
Your simple little greed
Make an inch of a loser's wings
Lyrics courtesy Top40db.
Make a fool right out of me

[Chorus]

Caledonia, Caledonia
You make my senses fly
Give me reason to believe
And I don't wonder why

[Chorus]

Caledonia, Caledonia
Inside of my soul
Caledonia, Caledonia
We'll move it slow
Caledonia, Caledonia
Caledonia, Caledonia

"Camille"

"Camille"


Hey, now
You can simplify your life
See how
It's such an easy price
To pay now
It's time to go your own way

New love
Was wearing awful thin
True love
Is where we should begin
Hey, now
It's time to go your own way

You won't fall apart
That's not how we see you
You really must take heart
No one else could be you

Every smoke filled room
Every unlit doorway
Is making you more blue
So why not have things your way?

Camille of the street
Floating with the tide
The high heels and the paint compete
With how you feel inside

Your dream
Is surely yet to come
Knowing
Exactly where you're from
Hey, now
It's time to go your own way

"Careless"

"Careless"


He’s so selfish you know its true
Baby he’ll pull the rug right under you
He’s so selfish it just ain’t far
He’s got more fancy moves than Fred Astaire
Now you’re just one more string to his bow
But baby I think there’s something you should know
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
And he’s gonna lose your love

Don’t you worry I making plans
With luck he’ll play straight into my hands
What’s the hurry just take your time
The punishment he gets will fit the crime
Every ace that you deal will return
I’m just waiting for bridges to burn
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
And he’s gonna lose your love

Now you’re just one more string to his bow
But baby I think there’s something you should know
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
He’s getting’ careless
And he’s gonna lose your love

"Carmen"

"Carmen"


Carmen...dreaming in your garden
Carmen...dreams are often broken
You'll lose your chance if you wait
You'll find that you left it too late
You'll find that the moment is gone
You'll be left dreaming on
Carmen...dreaming can be lasting
Carmen...dreaming can be arming

You'll find that the time has been spent
And you won't know where it went
You'll find that the moment is gone
You won't know what went wrong
Caaar...Caaar...Carmen...Caaa Car...Carmen...

"Caroline"

"Caroline"


[Chorus:]
Caroline, Caroline
Let me take you home tonight
Make you mine, Caroline
Changing darkness into light

It’s a funny game we’re playing
You try to play it down when you see me low
You know what my eyes are saying
I believe you read me like a book

You give me such a cool reception
You try to fool yourself but you won’t fool me
You give me such a cool reception
If I get a chance I can make you see

Will you kiss me like a miracle
When the words are left behind
Could a feeling be more lyrical
Than the dream that’s in my mind

[Chorus]
