"Far Far Away"

"Far Far Away"


I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
I've seen the bridges of the world and they're for real;
I've had a red light of the wrist without me even gettin' kissed
It still seems so unreal.

I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska
I've seen the sunset in the east and in the west;
I've sang the glory that was Rome,
And passed the hound dog singer's home;
It still seems for the best.

And I'm far, far away
with my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far away
with my feet down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call of home is loud still as loud

I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre
And felt the silence hanging low in no mans land;
And all those Spanish nights were fine,
It wasn't only from the wine;
It still seems all in hand.

I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
The grand Bahama island stories carry on;
And all those arigato smiles
Stay in your memory for a while;
There still seems more to come.

And I'm far, far away
with my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far away
with my feet down in the crowds
And I'm far, far away
But the sound of home is loud still as loud.

"Find Yourself A Rainbow"

"Find Yourself A Rainbow"


Find yourself a rainbow, find yourself in that pot of gold
When you're there you're there to stay, anyway
You'll find yourself start changing - all you need to do is take a hold
Things get better day by day

And then you'll know that this time is the right time and the place to be
Pick the flowers, there's no hours, just remember April showers
Climb upon that rainbow, slide on down to that pot of gold
You keep smiling, come what may . . oo!

And then you'll know that this time is the right time and the place to be
Pick the flowers, there's no hours, just remember April showers

Find yourself a rainbow, a song a day and you won't grow old
You can wish your cares away

Open up your dreamland, it's so easy just to find the key
All your troubles turn to smiles, what to do is
Let go all your heartaches, it's as easy as being free
You don't have to wait a while

"Fly Me High"

"Fly Me High"


I'm up to my eyes
And I love everyone
I reach for the sky
And then reach for the sun
Walking on air
And I'm here and I'm there
Travel the sky
But for a while I don't care

Fly me straighter
Fly me high
Fly me straighter
Fly me high

I'm moving around
And I'm up and I'm down
Travelling along
My wheels on the ground
And locked to me tight
Cos it doesn't last long
A few hours more
And It'll be gone

Fly me straighter
Fly me high
Fly me straighter
Fly me high

I'm driving along
On the streets of the moon
Up here alone
Plenty of room
You won't see me
I'll see you I'm too fast
There you go
It's gone - now it's past

Fly me straighter
Fly me high
Fly me straighter
Fly me high

Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah
Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah
Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah

I'm driving along
On the streets of the moon
Up here alone
Plenty of room
You won't see me
I'll see you I'm too fast
There you go
It's gone - now it's past

Fly me straighter
Fly me high
Fly me straighter
Fly me high

Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah
Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah
Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah

"Fool's Go Crazy"

"Fool's Go Crazy"


You break windows when you get mad
You go nowhere with Jack the Lad
You give Verbal to your old man
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down

You go runnin' when it's your round
You ain't funny, a clown's a clown
An' you won't kick me, no, when I'm down
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down

Your face don't fit, you're outta place
We're all washed-up in the Rat Race
You're all spaced-out, you're outta space
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down

I know that I … An' I don't know why

You break windows when you get mad
You give earache when things go bad
Don't give heartache to your old man
Actin' like a clown, don't you let me down

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
Don't you let me down

(Fools go crazy) … I know that I …
(I will, maybe) … An' I don't know why …
(Fools go crazy) … Actin' like a clown
I said don't you let me down

No, no, no, no … Oh, I don't know why
I'm actin' like a clown
I said don't you let me down … ooh

"Forest Full Of Needles"

"Forest Full Of Needles"


There's a main line to destruction, only two miles to Hell's gate
There's a hypnotic reaction to the destiny of fate
There's a rise and fall of angels, only idols on parade
There's a ring of gladiators, who all think they've got it made

On into the forest full of needles, stretching as far as can be seen
Looking at nothing, nowhere, no-one, a forest that points that once was green

There's a straight road going forward - There's a winding road behind
Which to take is your decision - neither one is clearly signed
There are questions still unanswered and people to meet and places to go
There are causes still worth fighting for - which is right, well who's to know?

On into the forest full of needles stretching as far as can be seen
Looking at nothing, nowhere, no-one - A forest that points that once was green

There's a side road to salvation, said to lead to Heaven's door
There'll be mighty falls of empires, battles lost and won at war

On into the forest full of needles, stretching as far as can be seen
Looking at nothing, nowhere, no-one - a forest that points that once was green

On into the forest full of needles, stretching as far as can be seen
Looking at nothing, nowhere, no-one - A forest that points that once was green

"Ginny, Ginny"

"Ginny, Ginny"


Ginny Ginny Ginny

Every Saturday, she spends a night on the tiles.
Every Sunday morning, never early to rise.
Back to work on Monday with the sleep in her eye.
She's late, so she dives.
Every Tuesday evening, stays in washing her hair.
I phone her up on Wednesday, find there's nobody there.
Working late on Thursday, oh 'cos Fridays the day, when she gets her pay.

Ginny, gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no family plan
Ginny Ginny gets some dandy handy man so she won't change
No she's never gonna change yeah

Always takes a week in the winter to ski.
She goes as Mrs Smith so she gets it for free.
Late again on Monday says her plane was delayed, or so she says
Always said she wants to find a millionaire
But he must be one with understanding to spare
Cos Ginny ain't the girl a man can tie down
She's sure been around

Ginny, gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no family plan
Ginny Ginny gets some dandy handy man that she won't change
Oh No no

She ain't about to start no family plan
Ginny Ginny gets some funny money handy man that she won't change
No she's never gonna change yeah

Ginny Ginny Ginny

Every Saturday, she spends a night on the tiles.
Every Sunday morning, never early to rise.
I can't afford to buy her any diamonds or pearls
She ain't one of the girls

Ginny, gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no family plan
Ginny Ginny gets some funny money handy man that she won't change, no
