"Full Force Gale"

"Full Force Gale"


Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord

And no matter where I roam
I will find my way back home
I will always return to the Lord

In the gentle evening breeze
By the whispering shady trees
I will find my sanctuary in the Lord

I was headed for a fall
The I looked up and saw the writing on the wall

Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord

I was headed for a fall
The I looked up and saw the writing on the wall

In the gentle evening breeze
By the whispering shady trees
I will find my sanctuary in the Lord

And no matter where I roam
I will find my way back home
I will always return to the Lord

Like a full force gale
I was lifted up again
I was lifted up again by the Lord

"Georgia On My Mind"

"Georgia On My Mind"


Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Oh, on my mind, on my mind

Well, well, well, well, well I say hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Georgia,
Just the thought of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As the moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
For that peaceful dreams I see
The road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road, the road,
Leads back to you

Ohh, say that Georgia
No peace, no peace, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps you, keeps you, keeps you
Gentle on my mind

[Instrumental break]

Your arms your arms your arms your arms your arms your arms your arms your arms reach out to me
Your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes smile tenderly
For that peaceful, for that peaceful dreams I see
Oh the hardened ground and road
Lead back to you

Georgia
No, no, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Just an old sweet, just an old sweet, just an old sweet song

Keeps you, keeps you, on my mind, on my mind, on my mind

Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
On my mind, on my mind.

"Get On With The Show"

"Get On With The Show"


I just can't seem to take much more of this
Got too much hassle baby and not enough bliss
Got to give these hangers on a miss
'Cos I need some help I just don't get

No one seems to understand what's up
What's up, what's up
So called friends come and go
And things just don't add up
Trying to make my way
Through all this illusion and myth
I don't even have no safety net

Nero fiddled while Rome burnt
Napoleon met his Waterloo
Sampson went spare when Delilah cut his hair
But little David slew Goliath too

I'm just trying to get some results
Listen baby I'm not trying to start my own cult
Please tell me something that I don't know
I just wanna get on with the show

Nero fiddled while Rome burnt
Napoleon met his Waterloo
Sampson went spare when Delilah cut his hair
But little David slew Goliath too

You'd think some program might do the trick
Let me tell you this wall of fog
Is just too thick
I thought of everything but the whip
But baby nobody on my ship is up to it

I'm just trying to get some results, some results
I'm not trying to start my own cult, no ..
Just tell me something that I don't know
I just wanna get on with the show

I just wanna get on with the show
Just tell me something that I don't know
I just wanna get on with the show
And if it don't work then let it go

Honey, just one sweet kiss
Baby, from your sweet lips
Honey, just a-one sweet kiss
Baby, from your sweet lips
That's all I want, that's all I need
I'm satisfied

Honey, just one a-your smiles
Lord, makes it all worthwhile
Honey, just a-one a your smiles
Lord, makes it all worthwhile
That's all I want, that's all I need

We could go walkin' down the lane
Together, hand in hand
But if you think, it's gonna rain
We'll stay at home, an' listen to the band

Baby, just one a-your kisses
Right-a from your sweet lips
Baby, just want a sweet kiss

Stay at home and listen to the band
(Do-wop, do-wop, do-wop)

Honey, honey, honey from a-your sweet lips
Baby, just one sweet smile
That makes ev'rything worth while
That's all I want, that's all I need

"Give Me My Rapture"

"Give Me My Rapture"


There are strange things happening every day
I hear music up above my head
Fill me up with your wonder
Give me my rapture today.

Let me contemplate the presence so divine
Let me sing all day and never get tired
Fill me up from your loving cup
Give me my rapture.

Won't you guide me through the dark night of the soul
That I may better understand your way
Let me be just and worthy to receive
All the blessings of the Lord into my life.

Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds
That I may be a vehicle for thee
Let me hold to the truth in the darkest hour
Le me sing to the glory of the Lord.
Give me my rapture today.
Repeat...

"Glad Tidings"

"Glad Tidings"


And they'll lay you down low in the easy
And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas.
And the miles that you traveled the distance

So believe no lies, dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
Then all the knights will step forth with their arm bands
And ev'ry stranger you meet in the street will make demands
So believe no lies, then dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La, la, la...

[Bridge:]
And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes sa you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come in right on time
And they'll talk to you while you're in trances
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion
And expect them to rise for the occasion
Don't it gratify when you see it materialize
Right in front of your eyes
That surprise

And they'll lay you down low and easy

"Goin' Down Geneva"

"Goin' Down Geneva"


Goin' down Geneva, give me a helping hand
I'm goin' down Geneva, give me a helping hand
It's not easy baby, living on the exile plan

Down on the bottom, down to my new pair of shoes
Down on the bottom, down to my new pair of shoes
I'm down by the lakeside, thinking 'bout my baby blue

Last night I played a gig in Salzburg, outside in the pouring rain
Last night I played a gig in Salzburg, outside in the pouring rain
Flew from there to Montreux and my heart was filled with pain

Look out my window, back at the way things are
Look out my window pane, back at the way things are
Just wonder how, how did things ever get this far

Vince Taylor used to live here, nobody's ever heard of him
Vince Taylor used to live here, but nobody's heard of him, ain't that a shame
Just who he was, just where he fits in

He was goin' down Geneva. give him helping hand
He was goin' down Geneva, give him helping hand
It wasn't easy living on the exile plan

Vince Taylor used to live here, nobody's even heard of him
Vince, Vince Taylor lives here, nobody's even heard of him
Just who he was, just where he fits in

Just who he was, just where he fits in

"Going Down To Monte Carlo"

"Going Down To Monte Carlo"


Goin' down to Monte Carlo about 25k from nice
Goin' down to Monte Carlo about 25k from nice
Got to get myself together, gotta get my head some peace

Sartre said that hell is other people, I believe that most of them are
Sartre said hell is other people, I believe that most of them are
Well their pettiness amazes me, even after I've gone this far

Goin' down to Monte Carlo, 25k from nice
Goin' down to Monte Carlo about 25k from nice
Gotta get my head together, gotta get my head some peace

Playing in the background some kind of phony pseudo jazz
Playing in the background in the restaurant, some kind of phony pseudo jazz
I don't care I'm trying to get away from people, that are trying to drive me mad

After everything I've worked for, not goin' to throw everything away
After everything I worked so hard for, I'm not goin' to give it all away
I just need to take a raincheck, I can't live to fight another day

Goin' down to Monte Carlo, 25k from nice
Goin' down, goin' down to Monte Carlo, still about 25k from nice
Got to get my head showered, got to find some release
