Allan Clarke

(Sylvester)
Cable car, flying high
Passing stars or wondering why
Did she go or did she die
I don't know

Mountainside, not so green
Snow is more than ever seen
Will she come back in a dream
I don't know

Thoughts of her reminding me
of a time I couldn't see
anything but you and me together

Colored cloud, on you go
to a land you may not know
If you see her
tell her I'm so alone

verse 4

(Clarke)
Standing on a corner
Nothing on my mind
When walked past a woman
She looked my kind

I said a hey there woman
What you got to do
She took one look at me and said baby
I'd like to be with you

Hold on

Wait a minute woman
I ain't the kind to phase
And I ain't that kind of woman, baby
So she says

She led me to a dwellin'
Just along the street
The best part of town baby
We gotta be discreet

Hold on (Hold on)

Break

Got to the apartment
Number six sixteen
My, what a place it was
Best I've ever seen

She headed to the bedroom
Came upon the door
Wait a minute, darling
While I slip into something cool

I was getting excited
One thing on mind
When she rushed out of the bedroom
Said You'd better hide

She slowed me my movements
He caught me by the door
What was left on me, baby
Was landing on the floor

Hold On

It's over, well over
In my mind and in my heart
It's over, well over
But then again, it didn't have a good start
You'd tell me, try to sell me
It could have been all I asked
It's over, well over
Yes, there it flows away a distant past
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
- 간 주 중 -
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
It's over, well over
And we can't revive what's passed
It's gone now, moved on now,
But then again, it didn't have a chance to last
(No, no, no, a chance to last)
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road

(Hicks / Lynch)
Sipping at the wine
I'm drinking all the time
I'm drinking kinda slow
And I'm hoping it won't go
See when I get dry
I just sit and cry over my baby
Seems that in the past
It was gonna last
Somewhere it went wrong
All the good times gone
But I don't know why
So I sit and cry over my baby

Well, now, yeah I thought that, I thought that
If we could take it, we'd love each other so much
We'd be sure to make it
But oh baby oh my baby
Look what we've got
There's nothing at all

Thinking of the bad times
Stretched out on my bed
Images of you, girl
Running through my head
Wish that I could die
So I lay and cry over my baby

verse 1

chorus

Look what we've got There's nothing at all

(Hicks / Lynch)
Where where is the promised land
Where where is the promised land
It can't be found in Viet Nam
It can't be where the eagle has landed
If we want peace for every man
We've gotta make the world demand it

Now I see the flag is flying
We've got to help them stop the dying
We must bring back the soldier boys
We mustn't let them die for nothing
War's a better game when played with toys
Let's change the game and let's start loving

Soldiers never fight alone
There's just as much fighting going on at home
Protests, violence, marches
It's all going on at home
Bring them all back home (repeat)

(Sylvester)
Sitting here alone
Drinking from an empty can of beer
Wishing you were here

Think I hear the bell
Must be my imagination
Hoping you'll appear

Are you feeling well
Would you write a letter just to say
Had a lovely day

I never realized
How lonely I would be without you
I guess I'll pull down the blind
I've finished all the wine
I guess I'll pull down the blind
I feel I'm feeling fine

Had a busy day Brought in the milk
And saw the folks next door
Who could ask for more

Tomorrow leaves today
I look at a photograph of you and me
How's the family

I guess I'll pull down the blind
I've finished all the wine
I guess I'll pull down the blind
I feel I'm feeling fine

(Hicks / Lynch)
Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name
Or where she's been, or where she came from
The last time I found love it only brought me pain
The problems almost took me over

I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for papa
And fetching water
And that's got nothing at all, that's got nothing at all
To do with love

Next time I meet a girl
I won't tell her my name
Or where I've been
Or where I came from

I'll take a hold of her
And love her just the same
No need to mention past acquaintances

I just want someone to love me
And someone to like the presents
That I bought her
'Cause that's got something to do
Yes, that's got something to do
To do with love

Each girl I meet comes up wronger
And I can't take it all much longer
No, I can't no

verse 3

verse 4

verse 5

(Sylvester / Clarke)
I look to the east and I look to the west
trying to find a place where there's rest
You know where I go, you know it's the same show
people turning their backs, not wanting to know

Look there son, you'll find hungry mouths
saying please feed me well I'm only a child
All around you'll find fallow ground
but you can't plow a field with a hundred missiles

You know the score
You know it's war
Death and destruction
We gotta change it now
Lord only knows how
to turn it into more

Where have all the rainbows gone
Where where where
My, oh God, says he's seen better days
Where, where, where

Speak to me, Lord Speak to me, Lord
Come on down with Your fiery sword
Rid this place of all its hate
Show Your face before it's too late

You know the score
You know it's war
Death and destruction
Death and destruction

Death and destruction
We gotta change it now
Lord only knows how

I'm gettin out and steppin' in
To somewhere where it's warmer
First come will be first served
You'd better put in your order

Been out in the cold far too long
Gonna set the town on fire (fire)
If you're not with me you better step aside
This boy's out for the kill kickin' higher

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

Toein' the line ain't my style
And I ain't looking for trouble
I wasn't born I was carved out of stone
So don't try bustin' my bubble

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

I'm gettin out and steppin' in
To somewhere where it's warmer
First come will be first served
You'd better put in your order

Been out in the cold far too long
Gonna set the town on fire (fire)
If you're not with me you better step aside
This boy's out for the kill kickin' higher

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

Oh 48 hour parole
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole

Cable car, flying high
Passing stars or wondering why
Did she go or did she die
I don't know

Mountainside, not so green
Snow is more than ever seen
Will she come back in a dream
I don't know

Thoughts of her reminding me

Colored cloud, on you go
to a land you may not know
If you see her
tell her I'm so alone

verse 4

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through

Do I love you
You can bet your life that I do-do-do
Do I love you
I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
It's all down to on you


I've been this way everyday
thinking of you

chorus x2

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through

repeat

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
She walked into the room just like a dream
I was spellbound into silence
Do you know the way it feels
The rock'n'roll changed to a symphony
Appearing just like magic
But I knew that she was real

Then something deep inside of me
said go ahead and try
Ain't no use in holdin back
Don't kiss the chance goodbye

Hello to romance
Is it goodbye to those one night stands
Where you get what you want
Such a crazy steal
Hello to romance
Hello to romance

I walked across the room to say hello
She raised her head and smiled at me
I knew which way to go
Once she spoke sweet music filled my ears
For hours and hours and hours we talked
Time seemed to disappear

verse 2

chorus

When you see the chance to win romance
act before it slips away
Don't wait until tomorrow
To hear yourself say
I should've done it yesterday
Should've done it yesterday

verse 2

chorus

chorus

Hey Willy your mother calls you Billy
your father calls you silly
but you really are a pretty one

Hey baby you're dressing like a lady
The fellows call you Sadie
but you really are a pretty one

You don't care
what they say about your hair
'Cause the bad man's smiling
every time he sees you comin' yeah

Willy is the singer in a rock'n'roll band
Every time he shows his face
put away your

Oh yeah Willy's gonna show them now
No no no no Willy's gonna go somehow


My name's Willy gonna turn on the lights
playing rock'n'roll music to early early night
Can't stop dancing to the rhythm in your feet
Listen to the drummer Yeah listen to the beat

chorus

Hey Willy your mother calls you Billy
your daddy calls you silly
but you really are a pretty one

verse 2

verse 3

chorus

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
In the end

Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
In the end

Love, love, love

Love takes you back
To the first love you had
Remembering

They say you can't forget
Your first taste of love
Memories

Love, love, love

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
Don't try pretend

Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
Don't try pretend

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
In the end

Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
In the end

Standing by a riverside
A river so deep and so wide
Current's too strong for only one man
I know because I tried

I got eight oars -
four on either side
Is there anybody with me
Eight hands four willing hearts
Won't someone answer my plea

Well I got in the boat
I stayed afloat
Some way across I was tiring
Well I need someone to help me
to get to the other side

Along came son of Alabama south
He said "I heard you calling
If you don't mind the colour of my skin
I'll help you not to fall in"

Then suddenly Joe from out of Tokyo
"If my eyes don't make you nervous
I used to handle a junk back home"


Said 'Can I be of service'

Well we got in the boat
we stayed afloat
Halfway across we were tiring
We got to row this boat together
to get to the other side

Two more oars
only one seat left
One more person to lean on
A brotherhood boat to a land called home
with our share of freedom

Got in the boat
stayed afloat
There's no need to be tiring
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side

Head into the sun you ain't the only one
To miss the last train back to your life
Head into the sun all that the night has done
Will fade if you hang on really tight
There's always reasons for runnin' down the road
Every time it snows
You know it's so easy to take the time to grow
You know this flight is
Heading into the sun riding a little bit higher
We are one we are one

Just begun song of the sun

Head into the sun you ain't the only one
To blow the first few bars of the tune
Head into the sun all that the night has done
Will fade if you move on really soon
There's always reasons for puttin' on the wheels
Every time it's real
You know it's easy to get into the feel
You know this flight is
Heading into the sun
Riding a little bit higher
We are one we are one

Just begun song of the sun

There's always reasons for puttin' on the wheels
Every time it's real
You know it's so easy to get into the feel
You know this flight is
Heading into the sun
Riding a little bit higher
We are one we are one

Just begun song of the sun

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
I was jiving along in my big cadillac
saw a thumb going up, I said Driver go back
Played her a track from my latest LP
Getting bad vibes she hadn't recognized me

She said she didn't know me but my name's been in lights
giant size neons on the strip every night
The camera man did the best that he can
Still she said I don't know you I just can't understand

I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway

I was trying to be nice but I'm not into that
I usually make it without any chat

She was taking it easy, taking it slow
I said Come on baby, I'm ready to go

I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway

She said Drop me off here and to my surprise
you wouldn't believe it, it was Beverly Drive
Some sort of commotion, what's happening here
We've arrived at her premiere, I shouldn't be here

She's a star, yeah
She's a star, I didn't know it
She's a star anyway

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep
No light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read

Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask?
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Words that were spoken in the anger
of youth only half truth.
Touched by the chilbride
while
deep inside her lie real truth.
He was the passion of the spring

he was the baby.

And half forgotten in the passing
of time.
The real crime brother and brother
with backs to each other
the war sign.
and in the passion of the spring
came the baby.

Come back
mama
mama sing him a song.
Tell him all that was wrong

tell him all that you had that was bad.
Tell him all that was good mama.
You know that you should mama

remember the good mama.

And with the light that you show
let him grow


let him go
let him go

let him go
let him
let him
let him go.
Words that were spoken in the anger
of youth only half truth.

Touched by the chilbride
while
deep inside her lie the real truth.
He was the passion of spring

he was the baby.
He was the passion of the spring

he was the baby.

And in the passion of the spring
came the baby.
And in the passion of the spring
came the baby.

The baby yeah
the baby yeah.
