"It's My Life"

"It's My Life"

It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now

I stumble and I fall
And I think about it all
Then I make amends
But it never ends
And I've just begun to wonder why
And I listen to the songs,
And I read all the words,
And I seem to remember something that I heard
Of a fire and a cave and shadows on the wall

It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now

I wanna believe in the miracles
But they mix me up. Then they pass the cup
And I've just begun to look the other way
And I don't want to lean on the stars or on the dreams
On the fantasies or the deities
Don't I think it's time to lean on me?

It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now

No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now

"It's Not Too Late"

"It's Not Too Late"

If I had a penny for every time I thought about you
I would be a millionaire
I would send you flowers each day
And I would show you in every way
Just how much I really care

The summer sun and the winter snow,
The autumn leaves let the spring rains know
Just how much I need your love
And if I knew that my time was near,
And you were there,
I would have no fear
Your name would be my dying prayer

It's not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind my love
Before we run aground
It's not too late
To say that I love you
And it's not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too
(It's not too late)

If I was a rich man's son
I would work till the day was done
Just to prove my love was true
I would take you for my wife
And I would love you all my life
And I would never leave or be untrue

It's not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind my love
Before we run aground
It's not too late
To say that I love you
And it's not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too
(It's not too late)

You know our future and your feelings
And the love that I have for you
They're always in my heart and on my mind
A never ending love affair
We'll go together everywhere
Our love will last till the end of time

You know our future and your feelings
And the love that I have for you
They're always in my heart, they're on my mind
A never ending love affair
We'll go together everywhere
Our love will last till the end of time

It's not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind my love
Before we run aground
It's not too late
To say that I love you
And it's not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too
(It's not too late)

It's not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind my love
Before we run aground
It's not too late
To say that I love you
And it's not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too
(It's not too late)

It's not too late (it's not too late)
It's not too late (it's not too late)
It's not too late to turn this ship around

"Just A Game"

"Just A Game"

There's a way
There's a way for you and I
If you'll just stay.
If you'll just stay to keep me hidden from the day,
And all its light,
That's covered up by night when you're away.
When you're away the image of your face is clear,
It is clear across the room and I am here,
Against the wall, afraid that it is all
Just a game.
Just a game that's played in fun
But not too real.
Not too real to take a chance on finding out
You've really lost.
I can't see you clearly while I'm here.
While I'm here and you are in my state of mind.
My state of mind is changing places all the time,
And I am lost
Trying to get across another time.
When you're away the image of your face is clear,
It is clear across the room and I am here,
Against the wall, afraid that it is all
Just a game
Just a game
Just a game.

"Ladies Aid Society"

"Ladies Aid Society"

In every little town and village too
Somewhere in the neighborhood
You'll find a little band of ladies who
Can't stop doing good
Good for the pigeons in the park
Good for the weekly tea
Good for the national bank where they keep their treasury

We're the ladies aid society
And we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid society
And soon we'll take over the world

Here they come marching down the street
Witgh their picket signs in hand
With their blue and white pleated uniforms
And their all girl five-piece band
Down with long haired singing groups
Down with the mayor too
And if you're under 65 they're down on you

We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
Were the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth

We're the ladies aid society
and we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid society
And soon we'll take over the world

We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
Were the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth

"Lady's Baby"

"Lady's Baby"

Lady's Baby smiles and coos,
Takes away my lonely blues.
(Lady's/Baby's?) mother cooks my meals,
Warm and cool is really real...

Runnin' never was much fun -
All it did was bring me down.
Chasin' round isn't where it's at.
Tension puts you in the ground.

Lady's Baby pulls my hair,
Lets me know he's really there.
(Lady's/Baby's?) mother touches me,
And at last I really see...

Runnin' never was much fun -
All it did was bring me down.
Chasin' round isn't where it's at.
Tension puts you in the ground.

Lady's Baby lets me know
Life was meant for movin' slow.
(Lady's/Baby's?) mother knows this too.
Lady, I love you.

"Last Train To Clarksville"

"Last Train To Clarksville"

Take the last train to Clarksville,
And I'll meet you at the station.
You can be be there by four thirty,
'Cause I made your reservation.
Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

'Cause I'm leavin' in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
'Til the morning brings my train.
And I must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville.
I'll be waiting at the station.
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation.
Oh... Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

Take the last train to Clarksville,
Now I must hang up the phone.
I can't hear you in this noisy
Railroad station all alone.
I'm feelin' low. Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville,
Take the last train to Clarksville,

"Laugh"

"Laugh"

Ev'ry face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns,
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
'Cause the music is funny
Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat.
Ain't that neat.
Laugh,
When you lose all your money,
Or you can't find your shoes
To cover your feet.

It's not so hard to see exactly what I'm after.
Sometimes a tear should fall, but I require giggles and chuckles
Laugh,
When you're keepin' a secret
And it seems to be known
By the rest of the world.
Laugh,
When you go to a party,
And you can't tell the boys
From the girls.

Every face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
At the things that are wrong.
If you thinks it's this song,
Then laugh.
Then laugh.
Then laugh.
[Repeat and fade]

"Let's Dance On"

Let's dance on,
Oh, baby, come on.
Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

We've been dancin',
Nearly all night long.

'Cause the music's still strong.

A come on, baby,
Let me see how you work.

Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

"Listen To The Band"

"Listen To The Band"

Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.

Play the drum a little louder,
Tell me I can live without her
If I only listen to the band.

Listen to the band!

Weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone.

Oh, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,

Play the drum a little bit louder,
Tell them they can live without her
If they only listen to the band.

Listen to the band!

Now weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone.

Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.

C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder,
Tell us we can live without her
Now that we have listened to the band.

Listen to the band!
