My first and last time with you
And we had some fun. Went walking through the trees, yeah! And then I kissed you once. Oh I want to see you soon But I wonder how. It was a new day yesterday But it's an old day now. Spent a long time looking For a game to play. My luck should be so bad now To turn out this way. Oh I had to leave today Just when I thought I'd found you. It was a new day yesterday But it's an old day now. |

Bright city woman
Walking down Leicester Square everyday. Gonna get a piece of my mind. You think you're not a piece of my kind. Ev'rywhere the people looking. Why don't you get up and sing? Bright city woman Where did you learn all the things you say? You listen to the newsmen on TV. You may fool yourself but you don't fool me. I'll see you in another place, another time. You may be someone's, but you won't be mine. |

My telephone wakes me in the morning --
Have to get up to answer the call. So I think I'll go back to the family Where no one can ring me at all. Living this life has its problems So I think that I'll give it a break. Oh, I'm going back to the family 'cos I've had about all I can take. Master's in the counting house Counting all his money. Sister's sitting by the mirror -- She thinks her hair looks funny. And here am I thinking to myself Just wond'ring what things to do. I think I enjoyed all my problems Where I did not get nothing for free. Oh, I'm going back to the family -- Doing nothing is bothering me. I'll get a train back to the city That soft life is getting me down. There's more fun away from the family Get some action when I pull into town. Everything I do is wrong, What the hell was I thinking? Phone keeps ringing all day long I got no time for thinking. And every day has the same old way Of giving me too much to do. |

Took a sad song of one sweet evening
I smiled and quickly turned away. It's not easy singing sad songs But still the easiest way I have to say. So when you look into the sun See all the things we haven't done -- Oh was it better then to run Than to spend the summer crying. Now summer cannot come anyway. I had waited for time to change her. The only change that came was over me. She pretended not to want love -- I hope she was only fooling me. So when you look into the sun Look for the pleasures nearly won. Or was it better then to run Than to spend the summer singing. And summer could have come in a day. So if you hear my sad song singing Remember who and what you nearly had. It's not easy singing sad songs When you can sing the song to make me glad. So when you look into the sun And see the words you could have sung: It's not too late, only begun, We can still make summer. Yes, summer always comes anyway. So when you look into the sun And see the words you could have sung: It's not too late, only begun. Look into the sun. |

Nothing is easy.
Though time gets you worrying My friend, it's OK. Just take your life easy And stop all that hurrying, Be happy my way. When tension starts mounting And you've lost count Of the pennies you've missed, Just try hard and see why they're not worrying me, They're last on my list. Nothing's easy. Nothing is easy, you'll find That the squeeze won't turn out so bad. Your fingers may freeze, worse things happen at sea, There's good times to be had. So if you're alone and you're down to the bone, Just give us a play. You'll smile in a while and discover That I'll get you happy my way Nothing's easy. |

Don't want to be a fat man
People would think that I was just good fun, man Would rather be a thin man I am so glad to go on being one, man Too much to carry around with you No chance of finding a woman, who Will love you in the morning and all the nighttime too Don't want to be a fat man Have not the patience to ignore all that Hate to admit to myself I thought my problems came from being fat Won't waste my time feeling sorry for him I've seen the other side to being thin Roll us both down a mountain and I'm sure the fat man would win |

Did you hear mother --
Saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right. Did you hear father? Calling my name into the night. Saying I'll never be what I am now. Telling me I'll never find what I've already found. It was they who were wrong, And for them here's a song. Did you hear baby -- Come back and tell you the things he's seen. Did it surprise you To be picked up at eight in a limousine? Doing the things he's accustomed to do. Which at one time it seemed like a dream Now it's true. And unknowing You made it all happen this way. Did you hear mother -- Saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right. Did you hear father? Calling my name into the night. Saying I'll never be what I am now. Telling me I'll never find what I've already found. It was they who were wrong And for them here's a song. |

Happy, and I'm smiling, walk a mile to drink your water.
You know I'd love to love you, and above you there's no other We'll go walking out while others shout of war's disaster. Oh, we won't give in, let's go living in the past. Once I'd used to join in every boy and girl was my friend. Now there's revolution but they don't know what they're fighting. Let us close our eyes. Outside their lives go on much faster Oh, we won't give in, we'll keep living in the past. Oh, we won't give in, let's go living in the past. Oh, no, no, we won't give in, let's go living in the past. |

Will they ever stop drivin' me?
Have they ever taken time to see That I need some rest If I'm to do my best? Can I please stop workin' so hard? They just tell me gotta close it hard. Got to think of my health. Can I be by myself? Oh, they tell me I'll be home someday. Well I doubt it if I continue this way, 'Cause this hard life I've led Is makin' me dead. |

You'll hear me calling in your sweet dream
Can't hear your daddy's warning cry You're going back to be all the things you want to be While in sweet dreams you softly sigh You hear my voice is calling To be mine again Live the rest of your life in a day Get out and get what you can While your mummy's at home a-sleeping No time to understand 'Cause they lost what they thought they were keeping No one can see us in your sweet dream Don't hear you leave to start the car All wrapped up tightly in the coat you borrowed from me, Your place of resting is not far You hear my voice is calling To be mine again Live the rest of your life in a day Get out and get what you can While your mummy's at home a-sleeping No time to understand 'Cause they lost what they thought they were keeping Get out and get what you can While your mummy's at home a-sleeping No time to understand 'Cause they lost what they thought they were keeping |

I remember when we had a lot of things to do ---
impressed by all the words we read and the heroes that we knew. Climb on your your dream --- a dream of our own making to find a place that we could later lose to whatever time would bring. We were seventeen and the cakeman was affecting you --- moving you to greater things (in a lesser way) you had to prove. The clock struck summertime. You were going round in circles now. Wishing you were seventeen. At twenty-one, it was a long time gone. And now here you are. You're locked in your own excuse. The circle's getting smaller every day. You're busy planning the next fifty years. So stay the way you are and keep your head down to the same old ground. Just paint your picture boy until you find a closed circle's better than an open line. Yes stay the way you are. I got a circle that's the same as yours. It may be bigger, but I've more to lose. Who is the luckier man --- me or you? |
