"Tear The Top Right Off My Head"

"Tear The Top Right Off My Head"

Walkin' down the lonely street,
I need someone to meet.
I run across sweet lookin' you,
Do you know what you do?

Oh, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
Yeah, I'm goin' blind.

Freakin' out in the afternoon,
Lookin' at a daytime moon.
Talk to me, I'll talk to you,
Do you know what you do?

Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
I'm goin' blind.

Sittin' by a firelight,
Coffee cups for two.
Touch my lips with your fingertips,
Do you know what you do?

Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
Blow my mind.
Yeah, I'm goin' blind.

"Teeny Tiny Gnome"

"Teeny Tiny Gnome"

Kickin' stones on an old dirt road
Feelin' d-dejected and all alone
When I looked up ahead thought my mind I'd blown
On a giant toadstool sat a teeny tiny gnome

He was all involved in a game of solitaire
Said "hello" with a smile just like I wasn't there
I kicked dirt some more
He said "please don't start a fight."
Found a church key in his pocket, he opened up his pipe

He blew some silver circles,
Wound his fingers in his beard
And from that pipe came magic music
Like I'd never heard

As the notes came floatin' in I pricked up both my ears
I walked up to the drive-in, hadn't felt so starved in years
A rabbit waiter took my order and quickly disappeared
He said "the party's over,
Please come back in a thousand years."

"Tell Me Love"

"Tell Me Love"

Oh tell me, love, and tell me truly
Do you believe this is forever?
Well I tell you, love, that I believe you
Oh, when you tell me that you will leave me never

Oh tell me, love, that all my words are a waste
Oh tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you
And tell me, love, do you know you amaze me?
You keep changing for the better with every passing day
Well, I'll tell you, love, sometimes it kinda scares me
I've got to keep on getting to you, so you don't get away

Oh tell me, love, that all my words are a waste
And tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you
And tell me, love, please tell me, love, tell me, love

"Tema Dei Monkees"

"Tema Dei Monkees"

Ecco qua
passiamo noi
e la gente ci guarda
ed ammir con voi
Ci chiamano i Monkees,
e siamo meno matti di chi
si crede piu` intelligente
di noi che la pensiamo cosi'.
Dovunque parliamo
non e` giusto mai
c'e` sempre qualcuno che
ne sa piu` di noi.
Ci chiamano i Monkees
e siamo meno matti di chi
si crede piu` intelligente
di noi che la pensiamo cosi`
Ci chiamano i Monkees...

[Translation:]

Here we are
we are passing by
and people are looking at us
and they admire us with you.
They call us the Monkees
and we are less crazy than those
who think are more intelligent
than us who think this way.
Everywhere we talk
it's never right
there's always someone
who knows more than us.
They call us the Monkees
and we are less crazy than those
who think are more intelligent
than us who think this way.
Ci chiamano i Monkees....

"That Was Then, This Is Now"

"That Was Then, This Is Now"

You always say you like my style.
You say I'm tough and kind of wild.
Am I too much for you to tame?
I swear this time it's not a game.

I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now

I've led a thousand lives it seems.
There's been a lot of broken dreams.
My mind has just swept love aside.
But you broke me down and put me wise.

I've doubted all compassion,
But you showed me the door.
I can't doubt it,
I don't doubt it no more.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
But that was then and this is now.

I've known a lot of girls.
No, this I won't deny.
I'll give our love,
I'll give it more than a try.

That was then, (that was then) this is now.
Let me prove my love girl, I'll make you proud.
I never made (never made) this kind of vow.
That was then, this is now.

That was then, this is now.
That was then, this is now.

"The Crippled Lion"

"The Crippled Lion"

Slowly I walk through the gently falling rain.
I know that I will never pass this way again.
Never wondering why.
Teardrops chaffing my eyes.

Longing to be where the melted kisses fall.
Lingering and still, while quietly they tell their all.
Blue is the color of the sun,
And nothing stops when everything is done.

Now my whole world opens up in different lines and tunes
With highways making up the verse.
And then suddenly I see the light of something called the moon.
And though my path is planned, it's not rehearsed.

So I move along to the next thing on the list
Knowing full well that some of them just don't exist.
But I am finally alone.
And where my foot steps down is where it's home.

[Instrumental]

So I move along to the next thing on the list
Knowing full well that some of them just don't exist.
But I am finally alone.
And where my foot steps down is where it's home.

"The Day We Fall In Love"

"The Day We Fall In Love"

There'll be birds singin' ev'rywhere,
And the wind will be blowin' thru your hair.
I'll look in your eyes
And wait for the prize;
Your lips kissing mine
With a love that is real.
And you'll look so young and fair

On the day we fall in love!
You and me
On the day we fall in love.
You'll see!

There'll be rainbows reachin' cross the sky
And we'll beoth be so happy we will cry.
We'll walk hand in hand
In snow or in sand
Whether roses are blooming
Or snowmen stand by.
Time will stop, for you and I

On the day we fall in love!
It will be on the day we fall in love.
You'll see!

And if the lines that I say fall apart,
It's because I won't know where to start.
But you'll understand when I say them to you,
'Cause they'll come straight from my heart.

On the day we fall in love,
You and me,
On the day we fall in love,
You'll see,
You'll see.

"The Door Into Summer"

"The Door Into Summer"

With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left King Midas there, as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more

[Chorus:]
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

With his travel logs of 'maybe next year' places
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
And he pays for every year he cannot buy back with his tears
As he finds out there's been no one keeping score

[Chorus]

"The Girl I Knew Somewhere"

"The Girl I Knew Somewhere"

You tell me that you've never been this way before.
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere.
You're standing in the places and you're
staring down through faces, that bring to mind traces
of a girl, a girl that I knew somewhere.

I just can't put my finger on what it is
that says to me "Watch out! Don't believe her."
I can't give any reasons girl,
my thoughts are bound down in a whirl.
I just can't think who in the world was that girl;
I know I met her somewhere.

Someway, somehow this same thing was done.
Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong.

Well, goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again.
My fingers are still burning from the last time.
And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame.
That's as may be, I can't explain.

Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere.

"The Girl I Left Behind Me"

"The Girl I Left Behind Me"

Its old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldn't wait and hang around
You always said must be free
But you couldn't see you were loosing me
And messing up the one good thing we had

[Chorus:]
And now I'm going out the way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I wont be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

I told myself that things would be ok
You would come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life

[Chorus]

As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life

[Chorus]

Behind me...
