"It Makes Me Money"

"It Makes Me Money"


I hear you didn't like my show
Well that's alright
A critic's views are not all you know
well that's alright

It makes me money
It makes me money
It makes me money
And that's alright

your paper and your pen's so lethal
but that's alright
you really can influence people
well that's alright

It makes me money....

You think you're big time Mr. Man
well tell me something if you can
Why don't you make me a star
Then I'll remember just who you are, sav
Wish I could hear you say
well he's alright
He's a star and he's here to stay
Well that's alright

It makes me money...

It makes me money,
(So you don't like my show)
It makes me money
(Well that's too bad you know)
It makes me money
(It makes me money)
and that's alright
and that's alright

"It Never Rains In Southern California"

"It Never Rains In Southern California"
(originally by Albert Hammond)



Got on aboard a west bound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true

Seems it never rain in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya it pours, man, it pours

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm under loved, I'm under fed
I wanna go home, it never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya, it pours, man, it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Please don't tell them how you found me
Don't tell them how you found me
Give me a break, give me a break

Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya it pours man it pours

"It Won't Be Christmas"

"It Won't Be Christmas"


Last year you gave me
Such a wonderful gift
All the loving in your heart
Was wrapped up in a kiss
It all seemed like wonderland
Season went so fast
Now it's all just memories
Like the ghost of Christmas past
So it won't be Christmas
Now you're not here
It won't be Christmas this year
Snow is falling and I can hear the children sing
It's gonna feel like Christmas this year
Last year you told me
That I was your king
Could've swore the choir sang
And bells began to ring
Felt just like a fairytale
There was magic in the air
Christmas just won't be the same
Nothing can compare
So it won't be Christmas...
So it won't be Christmas
Snow is falling
I can hear the children sing
So it won't be Christmas...
So it won't be Christmas...

"It's Natural"

"It's Natural"


It would suit me, if I could be
Sat in the sand, looking at the sun
It's a real treat, sit in the heat,
It can be neat, having lots of fun
I like to lie in the heat of the sun
It's a whole lot of fun and it's natural
I like to laze in the heat of the rays
It's not just a craze, 'cause it's natural
If I stay there, though my skin's fair
Maybe I can get a lovely tan
If you agree, share it with me
Down by the sea, it's a lovely plan
I like to lie in the heat of the sun...
As I wandered through the land of Christmas trees
I ate some doughy bread and rubber cheese
Without my coat and hat I'd surely freeze
And I dream about the land across the see
I like to lie in the heat of the sun---

"It's Your Life"

"It's Your Life"


Who said the web of life is woven in a dream,
'Cause your life is filled with dreams you can't believe.
So the only way you live with it is acting every scene,
And you play the part so well, that you deceive
Now and again I find you ain't got a friend
Who knows, I come and I go, but it's your life...

Though the world is overcrowded you still found an empty place,
And I know he leaves you helpless and confused.
And your search for love has often left you staring into space
Just another broken heart, so what's the use?
How many times have I been so hard to find?
You know I come and I go, but it's your life...

How does it feel when he's not around?
Can he be real when he can be found nowhere?

Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight?
And who let herself be lit so easily?
And who let it burn until the early morning light
And in the early morning gave herself to me?
And so, my love, you know that it's your life...

"Jet Lagged"

"Jet Lagged"


Jet lagged, whipped out
Photographed, want to shout
Criticised, a model life
See me shaped before your eyes
Look at me mamma
Can you sense the situation
It's getting hard to work it out
All I need is a little moderation.

Jet legged, let it out
Don't know what's it all about
Patronized, adolized
It's getting harder to improvise
Look at me mamma
Can you sense the situation
Sitting on a roundaboud
And surching for a piece of inspiration.

Well sitting in the backroom
Waiting for a doll to come
Hmm, if there's a population waiting
I see you in the county hall
But I ain't even got the time
To telephone a friend of mine
For usefull information
And help my situation
I get the feeling that they're telling me a lie.

Jet lagged, whipped out
Photographed, want to shout
Criticised, a model life
See me shaped before your eyes
Look at me mamma
Can you sense the situation
It's getting hard to work it out
All I need is a little moderation.

Look at me mamma
Look at me mamma
Look at me mamma...

Sneaking out the backdoor
Wandering which way to go
Standing on the side line
Just waiting for a man to show
But I ain't even got the time
To telephone a friend of mine
For usefull information
And help my situation
I get the feeling that they're telling me a lie.

Jet lagged, whipped out
Photographed, want to shout
Criticised, a model life
See me shaped before your eyes
Look at me mamma
Can you sense the situation
It's getting hard to work it out
All I need is a little moderation.

Jet lagged, whipped out
Photographed, want to shout
It's getting harder to work it out
All I need is a little moderation.

"Just When I Needed You Most"
(originally by Randy Vanwarmer)



You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I miss you more than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most

Now most every morning, I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me

'Cause I need you more than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most

You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I love you more than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most

"Last Train"

"Last Train"


So I'm standing at the station
For trains that never show
I could hear where you were coming from
and how was I to know
It's so cold and lonely here
and it's miles from where we were
so I'm waiting for the last train
coming in
Take me home on the last train
to the place I love so dear
to my baby's arms
To my baby's smile
A million miles from here
So I'm flicking through the pages
Of a womans magazine
Reading for the stories
sure that's where I've been
they say he was your love
The new guy always wins
So I'm waiting for the last train
Coming in
Take me home on the last train..
won't you take me take me home
on the last train
Take me home on the last train
it's so cold and lonely here
And it's miles from where we were
Now I'm waiting for the last train
Coming in
Take me home on the last train
Take me home on the last train...
won't you take me home
(Take me home)
just take me home
(Take me home)

"Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone"

"Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone"


If you want my sympathy
Just open your heart to me
and you'll get whatever you'll ever need
you think that's too hight for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
When there's nothin' left
you know where I'll be
Lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
Lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
so baby just call on me
when you want all of me
and I'll be your lover I'll be your friend
and there's nothing I won't do
'Cause baby I just live for you
with nothing to hide, no need to pretend - ohoh
Lay back in the arms of someone
Oh I know you think that's too high for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
when there's nothing left
I'll be with you
Lay back in the arms of someone
