Now you don't wanna be the little woman
Now you don't want to be the little woman
I love, no, no, no, no. I love
Now you don't wanna stay in my school
You don't wanna be the one that's cool
You don't wanna be the little woman I love

You're up all night
And we can let it hang out right, yeah
I said good-bye to all my expectations
The day you walked out of my life

Winter time is coming now
Gimme a sign if you can somehow
Make it clear where you're heading for
Will I see you someday at my door?

Taking it all into consideration
Love's a game I never win.
I've been in very similar situations
Again and again and again

Oh no, now you don't wanna be the little woman
No, you don't want to be the little woman
I love, I love
Now you don't wanna stay in my home
You just wanna be on your own
And you don't wanna be the little woman I love

Take it away
All right
Ah, yeah!

Well things were fine all the summer long
Then things changed, so where did we go wrong?
We can run but we cannot hide
In greener grass on the other side

Taking it all into consideraton
Love's a game I never win
I've been in very similar situations
Again and again and again

Again and again and again
Again and again and again
Again and again and again

Again and again and again
And again and again and again
Again and again and again (and again)
Again and again and again (and again)
Again and again and again (and again)
Again and again and again (and again)

Ooh, baby, you couldn't have done a worse thing to me
If you'da taken an arrow and run it right through me, ooh
Ooh baby, a bird in the hand is worth two flyin'
But when it came to love, I'd knew you'd be lyin'

It could have been a finer thing
Would have been a major attraction
With no other thing
Offering a note of distraction
Come on, get up, get under way and bring your love

Ooh baby, you wouldn't have found a more down hero
If you'da started at nothing and counted to zero

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Ooh baby, you couldn't have done a worse thing to me
If you'da taken an arrow and run it right through me

It could have been a finer thing
Flying in a righter direction
With no other thing
Featuring my love and affection
Come on, get up, get under way and bring your love

Ooh baby, you wouldn't have found a more down hero
If you'da started at nothing and counted the zero

When the moon lays his head on a pillow
And the stars settle down for a rest
Just do me one small favour, I beg you
Please play me my baby's request

It's the song that we heard when we started
Now the birds have all flown from our nest
But you could bring back memories departed
By playing my baby's request

My baby said that she knows how it goes
But you're the one who really knows
So go ahead
Just one more time and then we'll go to bed

But you could bring back memories departed
By playing my baby's request

My baby said that she knows how it goes
But you're the one who really knows
So go ahead
Just one more time and then we'll go to bed

When the moon lays his head on a pillow
And the stars settle down for a rest
Just do me one small favour, I beg you
Please play me my baby's requestk

Mh-hm, play me baby's request
Please! Play me my baby's request
One more time

Say you don't love him, My Salamander
Why do you need him?
Oh no, don't answer, oh no

I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart

Keeping ahead of the rain on the road
Watching my windscreen wipers (wipers)
Radio play me a danceable ode
Cattle beware of snipers (snipers)

When will you see me, My Salamander?
Now don't try to tell me
Oh no, don't answer, oh no

I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart

Hitting the chisel and making a joint
Glueing my fingers together ('gether)
Radio play me a song with a point
Sailor, beware of weather (weather)

Woah, woah, I'm getting closer, My Salamander.
Well, when will we be there?
Oh no, don't answer, oh no

I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart
I'm getting closer to your heart
I'm getting closer to your heart

I'm getting closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer

(This is it)

Spin it on, don't stop
Take it back to the top
'Cause I've gotta whole lotta love for you
I wanna spin it on, spin it on

Off to the flicks with the piddle in her nicks to the fair with her hair in curlers
Their cousins didn't get all down to the pleasure dome
Their cousins didn't spend their night in an aircraft hangar
Memories...

Spin it on, don't stop
Take it back to the top
'Cause I've gotta whole lotta love for you
That's why I wanna spin it on, spin it on, spin it on

Spin it on!

Spin it on, don't stop
Take it back to the top
'Cause I've gotta whole lotta love for you
That's why I wanna spin it on, spin it on

Off to the fields with a missionary's zeal for the life of the wife of the farmer
Their cousins didn't get all down to the billiard hall
Their cousins didn't spend their time on a pinball table
Memories...

Spin it on, don't stop
Take it back to the top
'Cause I've gotta whole lotta love for you
That's why I wanna spin it on, spin it on

Spin it on! spin it on!
I wanna spin it on! I wanna spin it on!

Spin it on, don't stop
Take it back to the top
'Cause I've gotta whole lotta love for you

We're got a chance and we'll take it
We may win or we may lose
We may even have to cut and run for it
Well, it won't be the first time I've run
And it won't be the first time I've been caught
It's the game that matters

Brother, I am proud to know you
This is one of the greatest moments I have ever experienced
I think I sense the situation when I say that we all esteem it an honour
To breathe the rather inferior atmosphere of this station
Here along with our little friend

I guess we shall all go home and treasure the memory of his face
As the whitest thing in our museum of recollections
And, perhaps, this good woman will also go home
And wash the face of our little brother here

I'm inspired with a new faith in mankind
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to present to you
A sure enough saint, who only wants a halo to be transfigured
Stand right up

Well if the same thing happened to you
Would you still put me through what you put me through?
If it happened to you
What if it happened to you?

What if it happened a man kept shaking you down
But you can't get a ride to his side of town?
If it happened to you
What if it happened to you?

What if happened to you?
Keep it out of my shoes
And if you're stepping on toes
Keep it outta my nose

'Cause if the same thing happened to me
Well, it won't be as bad as it used to be
If it happened to you
What if it happened to you?

What if it happened to you?
What if it happened to you?
What if it happened to you, too?

What if it happens to you?
What if it happens to you?
What if happens to you?
Keep it out of my shoes
If you're stepping on toes (ooh)
Keep it outta my nose

'Cause if the same thing happened to me
Well, it won't be as bad as it used to be
If it happened to you
What if it happened to you?
What if it happened to you?

What am I going to do?
What if it happened to you?
Well, what if happened to you?

What if it happened to you?
What if it happened to you?
What if it happened to you?
What if it happened to you?

We're open tonight for fun
So bring all your friends, come on
We're open tonight, come one, come all

We're opening all our doors
We're clearing back all the floors
We're open tonight, come one, come all

Ooh, whoo
Come one, come all
We're open tonight

Hey, did you know that I'm
Always going back in time
Rhyming slang, Auld Lang Syne my dears
Through the years

I'm the backwards traveller
Ancient wool unraveller
Sailng songs, wailing on the moon

I'm the backwards traveller
Ancient wool unraveller
Sailng songs, wailing on the moon
Wailing on the moon

And we were sailng songs, wailing on the moon
We were wailing on the moon

Cafe on the left bank, ordinary wine
Touching all the girls with your eyes
Tiny crowd Of Frenchmen 'round a TV shop
Watching Charles De Gaulle make a speech

Dancing after midnight, sprawling to the car
Continental breakfast in the bar
English-speaking people drinking German beer
Talking far too loud for their ears

Cafe on the left bank, ordinary wine
Touching all the girls with your eyes

Dancing after midnight, crawling to the car
Cocktail waiters waiting in the bar
English-speaking people drinking German beer
Talking way too loud for their ears

(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)

I know a tiny waterfall
A magic little place
Where we can play together
And watch the fishes race

Children, children where are you?
Hiding in the forest, playing in the rain
I hope you're not too far away
For me to see again

I know where there's a fairy
Who will invite us all to tea
But she won't let me in alone
You'll have to come with me

Children, children where are you?
Hiding in the forest, playing in the rain
I hope you're not too far away
For me to see again

(Start all over again)

I know a tiny waterfall
A magic little place
Where we can play together
And watch the fishes race

Children, children where are you?
Hiding in the forest, playing in the rain
I hope you're not too far away
For me to see again

Well, the rain was a-fallin'
And the ground turned to mud
I was watching all the people
Running from the flood

So I started to prayin'
Though I ain't no prayin' man
For the Lord to come a helpin'
Knowing he'd understand

Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

Well, I had me a woman
She was good and clean
She spent all day
With the washing machine

But when it come to lovin'
She was never around
She was out getting dirty
All over town

Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

Well, I was low on money
And my truck broke down
I was on my way
To the lost and found

So I took it to a dealer
I said, "Make it run.
Well, I ain't got no money
But I got me a gun."

I said, "You robbed me before
So I'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight
It'll put you on the right track."

Well, I ain't no devil
And I ain't no saint
But I can tell a dealer
By the color of his paint

Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

If you want good eggs
You gotta feed the hen
And if you wanna hear some more
Well, I'll sing it again

Though somethings in life are hard to bear
Don't let it bring you down
Should the sand of time run out on you
Don't let it bring you down

Don't go down
Don't go underground
Things seem strange
But they change, how they change

Up and down your carousel will go
So don't let it bring you down

Don't go down
Don't get out of town
Get te know how it goes
How it goes

When the price you have to pay is high
Don't let it bring you down
Don't let it bring you down

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

Behold the famous groupies
They are alike as two peas
And where the other goes, the other goes

But though the famous groupies
Are only paid in Rupees
Nobody knows what the famous groupies know
And nobody goes where the famous groupies go

There was a bongo player
Who kept an extra layer
Of dunlopillo mattress in his van (in his van?)

But when the famous groupies
Arrived with their twin snoopies
Nobody saw which way the poor boy ran
'Cause nobody does it like a famous groupie can

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

There was a lead guitarist
Who lived in Epping Forest
And all he ever wanted to do was to blow

(Who knows why) But when the girls were with him
He never lost his rhythm
And nobody knows what the famous groupies know
Nobody goes where the famous groupies go

There was a classic story
Of a roadie nicknamed Rory
Who used to practice voodoo on the side

But when the famous twosome
Suggested something gruesome
All that they found was a crater two miles wide
Which left the muisc business absolutely horrified

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies

Ladies and gentlemen, theose magnificent examples of
Female pulchritude and luminosity, direct from their
Global perambulations to the very boards of this
Supremely magnificent proscenium arch
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you famous groupies

Girlfriend

Tell him
Exactly what you're doing, yeah

Tell him what you do to me
Late at night when the wind is free

Show him how you feel inside
Then our love couldn't be denied, oh no

Yes, we're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine

Girlfriend

Till the wind doesn't wanna blow
Till the flowers stop a-growin'
Till the ocean's a sea of snow

Girlfriend

By dawn's first light I'll come back to your room again
With my carnation hidden by the packages
I'm carrying something
I'm carrying something for you

Ah, long time no see, baby, sure has been a while
And if my reappearance lacks a sense of style
I'm carrying something
I'm carrying something for you

I'm carrying
I'm carrying, can't help it
I'm carrying
I'm carrying something for you

I'm carrying something
I'm carrying something for you

You're talking to me from the back of my car
And I can't get nothing right

Day and night

And I can't get nothing done

But come on, come on

I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no

I earn the money and you take it away
When I don't know where you're from
I should be worried but they say it'll pay
For a bomb

Well, I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no

I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no

But if it ever happens honey
