Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word their sayin' Only the echos of my mind People stop and stare I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' Through the pourin' rain Goin where the weather suits my clothes Bankin off of the northeast winds Sailin on summer breeze And skippin over the ocean like a stone I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' Through the pourin' rain Goin where the weather suits my clothes Bankin off of the northeast winds Sailin on summer breeze And skippin over the ocean like a stone Everybody's talkin' at me Can't hear a word their sayin' Only the echos of my mind I won't let you leave my love behind No i won't let you leave I won't let you leave my love behind |

My Good Old Desk- by Harry Nilsson
Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah My old desk doesn't arabesque, in the morning when I first arrive. It's a pleasure to see it's waiting there for me to keep my hopes alive. Such a comfort to know it's got no place to go, it's always there. It's the one thing I've got, a huge success, my Good Old Desk. My old desk never needs a rest, and I've never once heard it cry. I've never seen it tease, it's always there to please me from nine to five. Such a comfort to know, it's dependable and slow, but it's always there. It's the one friend I've got, a giant of all times, my Good Old Desk. Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah My old desk isn't picturesque, but it's happy as a desk can be. We never say a word, but it's perfectly alright with me. For when my heart's on the floor, I just open the drawer of my favorite guest. And what do I see? But a picture of me working at my Good Old Desk. Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah |

The willow weeps
And having wept Can weep no more But still it cries for me It cries in sympathy It knows that you are gone Don't leave me baby! There was a time When you were mine An' not so long ago I used to say You'd never go away You'd never leave me lonely Don't leave me baby! Think about the happy times The groovy times Don't tell me they are gone I just can't carry on an' And know that you're not here You're not near Anymore Don't leave me baby Things are gonna work out fine Don't leave me baby Think I'm goin' outta my mind Don't leave me baby Don't leave me behind! (Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! ) (Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! ) The willow weeps And having wept Can weep no more But still it cries for me It cries in sympathy It knows that you are gone It cries for me, (Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!) The willow weeps! |

Well in 1941 a happy father had a son
And by 1944 the father walked right out the door And in '45 the mom and son were still alive But who could tell in '46 if the two were to survive Well the years were passing quickly But not fast enough for him So he closed his eyes through '55 And he opened them up again When he looked around he saw a clown And the clown seemed very gay And he set that night to join that circus clown and run away {Scat solo} Well he followed every railroad track And every highway sign And he had a girl in each new town And the towns he left behind And the open road Was the only road he knew But the color of his dreams Were slowly turning into blue Then he met a girl the kind of girl He'd wanted all his life She was soft and kind and good to him So he took her for his wife And they got a house not far from town And in a little while The girl had seen the doctor And she came home with a smile Now in 1961 a happy father had a son And by 1964 the father walked right out the door And in '65 the mom and son were still around But what will happen to the boy When the circus comes to town? {Scat solo} |

Newman
Cold gray buildings where a hill should be Steel and concrete, closin' in on me City faces haunt the places, I rode alone Cowboy, cowboy Can't run, can't hide It's too late to fight now, too tired to try. Wind that once blew free now scatters dust to the sky Cowboy, cowboy Can't run, can't hide It's too late to fight now, too tired to try. |

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one It's the loneliest number since the number one No is the saddest experience you'll ever know Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know It's just no good anymore since you went away Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know One is the loneliest number One is the loneliest number One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do One is the loneliest number, much, much worse than two One is the number divided by two One One is the loneliest number |

No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving, But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes it shows No I can't forget tomorrorow When I think of all my sorrows, When I had you there but then I let you go And now it's only fair that I should let you know What you should know I can't live If living is without you I can't live I can't give any more Can't live If living is without you I can't give I can't give any more No I can't forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving, But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes it shows Can't live If living is without you I can't live I can't give anymore I can't live If living is without you Can't live I can't give anymore (Living is without you) |

Years ago, I knew a boy He was his daddy's biggest fan We used to walk beside the sea And he told me how life would be When I grew up to be a man. And how the mother did explain Trying to take away the pain But, he just couldn't understand That his father was not a man And it all was just a game. The years have passed and so have I Making it hard for me to cry But if we wanna have a son Let it all be said and done Let the sadness pass him by .. |

I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there
But she never comes And then I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes And I rise to face another day Without her Do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do It's just no good anymore When you walk through the door of an empty room And then you go inside and set a table for one It's no fun when you spend a day Without her Do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do We burst the pretty balloon Took us to the moon Such a beautiful thing But it's ended now And it sounds like a lie If I say I'd rather die than live without her Do-do-do Do-do-do Do-do-do Love is a beautiful thing When it knows how to swing And it grooves like a clock But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part And it's breaking my heart to have to spend a day without her Do-do-do Do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there But she never comes And then I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes And I rise to face another day Without her Do-do-do Do-do-do-do Can't go on without her Do-do-do Do-do-do-do There's no song without her It's all wrong without her Can't go on without her |
