Manfred Mann - The Ascent Of Mann (1999) by Manfred Mann (보컬) on maniadb.com

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe, I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
And she makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst, so I came in here

When your longtime curse hurts
But what's worse is this pain in here
I can't stay in here, ain't it clear that

I just can't fit?
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world

Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
And you make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl

So you finally named the day when wedding bells will chime
I was sorry to hear you say, you're gonna be his not mine
Do you think you will be happy, giving up your friends
For your semi-detached suburban Mr. James

So you finally got your man, I hope you won't regret it
He can't love you the way I can, so please don't you forget it
Do you think you will be happy, buttering the toast
Of your semi-detached suburban Mr. Most

I can see you in the morning time
Washing day, the weather's fine
Hanging things upon the line
And as your life slips away, ay, ay - yeah

So you finally named the day when wedding bells will chime
I was sorry to hear you say, you're gonna be his not mine
So you think you will be happy, taking doggie for a walk
With your semi-detached suburban Mr. James (semi-detached suburban Mr. James)
Semi-detached suburban Mr. James

So you finally named the day
So you finally named the day
So you finally named the day (semi-detached suburban Mr.)
So you finally named the day (semi-detached suburban Mr.)
So you finally named the day (semi-detached suburban Mr.)
So you finally named the day (semi-detached suburban Mr.) (fade)

God bless the day I found you,
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me.

Don't take this heaven from one,
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me.

Each time we meet, love,
I find complete love.
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me.


Each time we meet, love,
I find complete love.
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me.

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis

Chorus
Ha ha said the clown
Has the king lost his crown,
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown
Is it bringing you down,
That you've lost your chance

Feeling low, gotta go
See a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke,
and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl, see a girl
with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought
right down by her lies

Chorus

In a trance, watch her dance
to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow,
I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky
When she blows me a kiss
In a while run a mile
I'm regretting all this

Chorus

Time to go, close the show,
Wave the people good-bye
Grab my coat, grab my hat,
Look that girl in the eye
Where's your home,
What's your phone number
Stop fooling round
Could have died she replied
"I'm the wife of the clown"

Chorus

Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
I love you

Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
You move me

Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be there by 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow
Oh no no no, oh no no no

'Cause I'm leaving in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
'Til the morning brings my train
And I must go
Oh no no no, oh no no no
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
I'll be waiting at the station
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation
Oh no no no, oh no no no

Take the last train to Clarksville
Now I must hang up the phone
I can't hear you in this
Noisy railroad station all alone
I'm feeling low
Oh no no no, oh no no no
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville,
And I'll meet you at the station,
You can be here by four-thirty,
'Cause I've made your reservation, don't be slow,
Oh, no, no, no,
Oh, no, no, no,
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.
Take the last train to Clarksville,
Take the last train to Clarksville,
Take the last train to Clarksville,
Take the last train to Clarksville.

And I live in the back of the Greta Garbo home
With friends I will remember
Wherever I will roam
And my name is Jack
And I live in the back of the Greta Garbo home for wayward boys and girls
We all love Jack and we live ....
There goes Fred with his hands on his head
'cos he thinks he heard the bomb
And here comes Superman
Who really puts it on.
There's lots of fun
And I love to run up and down the stairs
I make as much noise as I want
And no one ever cares.
And my name is Jack .....
We all love Jack ......
Carl over there with his funny old hair
And he's never sad at all
And when he I grow up I want to run
As fast as my friend Paul.
There's the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
And her name is Melody Mend
And here comes Ma with Brother Tom
Who's probably my best friend.
And my name is Jack .......
We all love Jack ......

In her house, happy she seems
But she's living on memories and dreams
How she dearly longs to recover
Her life when she was a young mother

And every day another hair turns grey
Yes, every day another hair turns grey

In her house as mother and wife
She was leading an ordinary life
Now, she finds so much is missing
Gone is the love, the laughter and kissing

And every day another hair turns grey
Yes, every day another hair turns grey

Her children are all, all married now
She misses so the noise and row
That children make

In her house she looks to the past
When first married, the loving was fast
And her husband, once a good lover
Now, he seems to be more like a brother

And every day another hair turns grey
Yes, every day another hair turns grey

And every day another hair turns grey
Yes, every day another hair turns grey
Every day

She walked through the corn leading down to the river.
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like the fox on the run.

Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run.

Everybody knows the reason for the fall
When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall.
This woman tempted me all right, then took me for a ride
But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide.

Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run.

Come take a glass of wine and fortify your soul.
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know.
I'll illustrate, a girl put me on the floor.
The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my door.

Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run

Days begun and people rush
Off to work by 410 bus
Open eyes and open minds
Conditioned to the daily grind

Up the Junction x2

Days begun and people rush
Off to work by 410 bus
Through the factory gates they swarm
(can't work this line out)
Overalls like uniforms
See their faces, young and old
Filling every crack and hole
Some are floating in a dream
But all go through the same routine
Drifting in a human stream

Up the Junction x 2

Open eyes and open minds
Conditioned to the daily grind
Stop to lock their dreams away
There's nothing new about today
Only what the papers say&#8230;

Up the Junction x 2

Lots of people down the street meet friends and say, &#8220;Hello,
It's not as hot as yesterday,
The better weather's on the way.&#8221;

Up the Junction (fade)

The world was just the world of pollen air
I wandered 'round and 'round the busy square
I turned and floated gently upside down
And one by one the people gathered 'round

The rivers and the bridges turned to blue
The thin age of the night is creeping through
The orange sun is dying on the line
And slowly melt into the sea of wine

Good night, cubist town, good night
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bride passed me quietly away

The table grows the evening meal's begun
The wedding song of love has just been sung
But there's to much of this, too much for me
I go outside where darkness sets me free

Good night, cubist town, good night
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bride passed me quietly away

I thought I saw the house where you were born
A yellow house, the color of the corn
I thought I saw strange beasts out there in the sky
But music filled my mind, then they passed by

Good night, cubist town, good night
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bride passed me quietly away

But music filled my mind, then they passed by

Good night, cubist town, good night
The day has vanished with the night
Good night, cubist town, good night
The night has vanished with the day

Good night, cubist town, good night
The day has vanished with the night
Good night, cubist town, good night

One Way Glass
by Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Give me a window with one way glass,
Just look out on the world and watch people pass.
Give me a window to shield me,
Rock can't be seen, I don't wanna be free.

Give me a window to stop the sound,
And to keep out of the noise of the merry-go-round.
Give me a window with one way glass,
Save me from questions I might have to ask.

Born & raised as a rich man's son
You were always the restless one
Living high only made you low
So you packed up & hit the road

CHORUS:
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
Life was so grand, you used to stand
Holdin' your head up high
Look at you now, I wonder how
You can be satisfied

Stowed a ride on a westbound train
Called yourself by another name
Spent your nights in a mission home
Cast away the life that you'd known

(chorus)

As you rise in the mornin' rain
Take a look down that road again
Does the thought ever grab your mind
For the life that you've left behind?

(chorus)

Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
Ahhhhh, la la la la la la la
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
...& fade
