"Kingston Town"
(originally by Lord Creator)



The night seems to fade,
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone
The stars shine so bright,
But they're fading after dawn
There is magic in Kingston Town

Oh Kingston Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh

And when I am king,
surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town

Oh Kingston Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh

And when I am king,
surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town

"Kiss And Say Goodbye"



I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'til I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darlin', don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)

(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie

Take my hankerchief, wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye

"Let Me Know"

"Let Me Know"


[Chorus:]
Let me know, what I got to do
Make it so, I can get it through to you
Blow by blow accounts in black and blue
Make it so, let it go, make it so...

Any other time we would welcome you
Right now there's something else we got to do
We commiserate but were running late
Hurry up and wait.

[Chorus]

Have we met before, can't remember you
Now tell us what it is you wanted us to do
Book a future date to negotiate
Hurry up and wait.

[Chorus]

The problem is fundamentally
Over the horizon where we can't see
We can't relate so we segregate
Hurry up and wait.

[Chorus]

(originally by The Doors)

"Light My Fire"
(originally by The Doors)



You know that it would be untrue
You know that it would be lie
If i was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher

The time to hesitate is true
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral fire

The time to hesitate is true
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral fire

[Chorus:]
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is true
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral fire

[Chorus]

You know that it would be untrue
You know that it would be a lie
If i was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher

[Chorus]

"Lisa"

"Lisa"



I admire you from afar
You've changed the way I see
I used to think that I
Should make you be like me
But after this short time
Watching what you do
I realise that I
Should strive to be like you

Whenever I am near you
I tread so awkwardly
Afraid someone may steal you
I guard you jealously

Then sing the world your praises
Let everybody know
That I just saw the future
A place I want to go

I admire you from afar
You've changed the way I see
I used to think that I
Should make you be like me
But after this short time
Watching what you do
I realise that I
Should strive to be like you

I hear you when you're talking
Untouched simplicity
Alive with expectations
In search of what might be

I admire you from afar
You've changed the way I see
I used to think that I
Should make you be like me
But after this short time
Watching what you do
I realise that I
Should strive to be like you

Then sing the world your praises
Let everybody know
That I just saw the future
A place I want to go

I hear you when you're talking
Untouched simplicity
Alive with expectations
In search of what might be

Then sing the world your praises
Let everybody know
That I just saw the future
A place I want to go

I hear you when you're talking
Untouched simplicity
Alive with expectations
In search of what might be

Then sing the world your praises
Let everybody know
That I just saw the future
A place I want to go

"Little By Little"

"Little By Little"



Poor man's anger rising.
The ostrich hides his head.
Soon the red blood will be boiling.
And blue blood will be dead.
While we say.

Little by little by little,
And stone by stone.
Rich man's mountain comes crumbling down

Poor boy sleeps on straw,
The rich boy sleeps in bed.
That fat boy fills his belly,
My poor boys's a dead,
While we say.

Little by little by little,
And stone by stone.
Rich man's mountain comes crumbling down.

The rich man drives his car past,
The poor man on bare feet.
That rich man do get what he wants
The poor must know defeat,
While we say.

Little by little by little,
And stone by stone.
Rich man's mountain comes crumbling down.

"Look At Me"

"Look At Me"



Blame it all on me, you did nothing wrong
I was running free but it took so long
So long in fact that I
Can't remember why
I couldn't say goodbye

If you ask yourself, did I think of you
Oh so many times if you only knew
Knew how you made me feel
In dreams your kiss I'd steal
When nothing else was real

Far away from home everythings so clear
When you're all alone; no one else can hear
The loudest lonliness
Therefore I must confess
I'm full of emptiness

Full up on nothing I can call my own
I'll tell you something if only I had known
The end of every day
No matter what you say
Some how you always pay

Look at me, don't give up yet
What you see is what you get
Things just like they used to be
I've been missing you and me.

"Looking Down At My Reflection"

"Looking Down At My Reflection"



Looking down at my reflection
In the puddle at my feet
Things don't seem so real down there
Or maybe I don't see

I see no starvation
I don't see any pain
I see myself not helping
Just a loner in the rain

Looking down at my reflection
In the puddle in the ground
Things are getting clearer now
I can see a thunder cloud

I see gross injustice
I see evil men
I see myself repeating
The same old words again

Looking down at my reflection
In the puddle lying there
Now I decide to change my mind
And show the world I care

I care about my fellow man
Being taken for a ride
I care that things start changing
But there's no one on my side
