Some people are crazy about him
Some people can't stand his face Some people, they smile when they know he's coming Some people chase him out of the place But this loving kind of business Might make your poor heart glad Yes, this loving kind of business Might be the best find you ever had The best find you ever had Some people are crazy Some people are just plain good Some people talk wouldness and couldness Some people don't do as they should But this loving kind of business Might make your poor heart glad Yes, this loving kind of business Might be the best thing that you ever had The best find you ever had Some people got a glass eye Some people got a window to watch Some people draw conclusions like curtains Don't they draw them tight Don't they, draw them tight Don't they, draw them tight Don't they, draw them tight Some people are crazy about him Some people, they can't stand his face Some people, they laugh when they know he's coming Some people chase him out of the place Some people are crazy Some people are just like me Some people are crazy Some people are just like me |

You know I wished you all you wish yourself
It makes me feel so good to know you've found somebody else You want a word from me I'll give you two I mutter desperately darling As you say goodbye As I start to cry. Grace and danger Grace and danger, grace and danger Grace and danger, grace and danger. Sort of pretty in an ugly sort of way Jagging strokes and hustling folks every live long day My heart goes out to you I think of me I mutter desperately darling As they say goodbye Let me wish you as you fly. Grace and danger Grace and danger. I never knew the road that carried me along Crazy sidewalk, concealed by pretty song You want my life from me I'll give you two You'll be no strife for me As we say goodbye Let me wish you as you fly. Grace and danger Sweet grace No danger Sweet grace No danger Grace and danger |

What kind of love is this
Concealed behind your kiss What kind of love would try Behind a silent cry To come stealing in, with an innocent grin To leave you staring At the empty ceiling, feeling nothing Lookin' on I'm just lookin' on. My cynic friends maintain A low profile with a high disdain I think I'll try once more to make friends With the wolves that live at my door And come stealing in, with their innocent grin And leave me staring At the empty ceiling Feeling absolutely nothing Lookin' on Leave you Lookin' on, lookin' on Leave you Lookin' on. What kind of mood will change Or ease this subtle flame What warm and blissful rain Might doubt your trust again For that beautiful thing That once made my poor heart sing Beautiful thing It's never going to leave me Believe me now. Just lookin', just lookin' Just lookin', just lookin', just lookin' on Lookin' on, lookin' on, lookin' on Lookin' on, lookin' on, lookin' on. What kind of mind will find Such a strange and empty time Draw the finest line Between loving and being too cruel to be kind To let love come stealing in With an innocent grin Leave you staring at the empty ceiling Feeling nothing Just lookin' on, lookin' on, lookin' on Just lookin'; lookin', lookin'! What kind of love is this Concealed behind your kiss What kind of love would try Behind the silent cry to come stealing in, with an innocent grin To leave you staring At the empty ceiling, feeling nothing Just look: just lookin' on I'm just lookin' Just lookin' on. Lookin' on. |

Just that sweet little mystery that breaks my heart
Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry O that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. My friends all tell me that I look so sad They don't need to ask me why They know the reason that I feel so bad Since the night you said goodbye It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the dead of the night That keeps me hanging on, waiting for the end. Just that sweet little mystery that's in your heart Just that sweet little mystery makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. I watch the street, I watch the radio I don't need to turn it on Another friend comes by and tries to say hello Another weekend's almost gone It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the depth of the night That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end. It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. The time is flying fast, and I don't care To spend another night alone I want to see you, but I don't know where Till then I'm walking on my own It's not the letters that you just don't write It's not the arms of some new friend It's not the crying in the depth of the night That keeps me hanging on, just waiting for the end. It's that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try. That sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me cry Oh that sweet little mystery that's in your heart It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try.

When that hurt in your heart has gone;
When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call. Darling, that's all that you have to do. Show me a sign; A word or a line, One stitch in time, To save this poor heart From breaking. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, I'll still be your friend. Right to the end of forever And further still. This hurting will mend, And I hope you'll remember all the time; Hope you'll remember every line, Hope you'll remember All the love, all the love, all the love. {guitar solo} When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Just say my name. You don't have to say it loud; I'll still feel the same And I'll still be true, Waiting for you To come sailing through, 'Cause you know you can. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call... |

Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home Baby baby, please, come home I'll try to put the things we've done Back where they belong And that's in the past I need our love to last. But I feel somehow to blame For the way our love has changed But please believe me I just can't stand to see you go And I swear that I don't know Just what made me hurt you so What made you want to go. Baby, please come home Baby, please come home Baby baby please, baby please, baby please, come home Try to put the things I said Right out of your head I didn't mean a single one Now you see what words have done. Baby, please come home Baby, please come home Baby please, baby please, baby please, baby please come home Try to put the things we've done Back where they belong That's in the past I need our love to last.

Oh baby, take a look
Take a look in your heart for me, baby Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart. Our love Once was sweeter than the April rain But now I have to beg before you even say my name Our love Once was warmer than a summer's day And now I have to ask before you even want to look my way. People go talking People go talking around Putting us down, putting us down Putting us down, putting us down People go talking But they don't talk to me I know they just don't see. Our love Once was you and me against this world made a man from a boy and made a woman from a little girl Our love Once was deeper than the darkest blue could be Now I find I have to search my mind To find the smallest trace of you in me. Lovers part You can read about it can read about it every day Read about it every day Lovers part Then they just walk away. Our love Once was sweeter than the April rain to me Now I find I have to beg before you call my name Please call my name, please call my name, and Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart Baby take a look, take a good look, baby Baby take a look in your heart Baby take a look, baby take a look Baby take a look in your heart for me Ah baby, please baby |

Now the young man by your side is your husband, or so you say In reality, he's a link with a past you just can't replace You tell the world you're happy when you're lying in his arms Oh but his youth has made you hate to see his face And woman, it's your heart, I see crying. Now you're standing like some tree oh and the blossom has blown away And the last leaf has gone crumbling, tumbling towards the ground You have nothing to teach me, just have nothing at all to say Except to keep on telling me about all the happiness that you do think you have found And woman, it's your heart, I hear crying |

Time after time, I held it,
Just to watch it die. Line after line, I loved it, Just to watch it cry. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you home. Wave after wave, I watched it, Just to watch it turn. Day after day, I cooled it, Just to watch it burn. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you home. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Pain after pain I stood in, Just to see how it would feel. Rain after rain I stood in, Just to make it real. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the day you go away. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Time after time, I held it, Just to watch it die. Line after line, I held it, Just to watch it cry. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. |

There's just no way to say how much I love you,
You never made me cry And that's just fine. Only got my fear, To put above you; You know we all get scared from time to time. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the place it starts. Love me from your head and heart; Love me like a child. There's just no way to play the things I'm feeling; No way to tell you all the things you mean. Everyday I only feel like stealing, Away to where I know I can be clean. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the place it starts. Love me from your head and heart; Love me when I'm wild. Laying down the ways to say I need you, Scared of looking tall and feeling small. Running through the days I have beside you, Scared of being wrong and that's it all. Love me with your head and heart; Love with your very self. Love me with your head and heart; Love me like a child. There's just no way to say how much I love you, You never made me cry And that's just fine. Only got my fate, A bird above you; You know we all get scared from time to time. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the very start. Love me with your head and heart; Love me like a child. |

I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love Sometimes it gets so hard to listen Hard for me to use my eyes And all around the gold is glistening Making sure it keeps me down to size And I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know one thing about evil Only want to know about love I'm waiting for the planes to tumble Waiting for the towns to fall I'm waiting for the cities to crumble Waiting till the sea a grow Yes, it's getting hard to listen Hard for us to use our eyes 'Cause all around that gold is glistening Making sure it keeps us hypnotized And I don't want to know about evil I only want to know about love I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know anything about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know about evil I only want to know about love And I don't want to know anything about evil Only want to know about love |

The second time that I saw you
I knew you had to be the one for me Now that you have got so deep inside me That even a fool like me can see That I'm so much in love with you baby I just can't sleep without you near I'm so much in love with you baby I just can't seem to see it clear without you. Well you move like I always knew you When we let our bodies groove When I hold you down gently baby I've got nothing in the world to prove Cos I'm so much in love with you baby I just can't seem to get it clear I'm just so much in love with you baby I can't seem to see it clear without you. Getting very tired of crying Though I'm laughing from the inside out Need your easiness around me Need you to tell me what it's all about Cos I'm so much in love with you baby I just can't seem to see it clear I'm just so much in love with you baby I can't seem to make it here without you |

One day our laughter comes flowing with the rain
And on the very next day, our sorrow sees us crying again But darling: you can discover the lover in me I can discover the lover in thee Together we can roll and tumble until the cow come home. Sometimes our story's just too beautiful to tell Like the bells on a Sunday, blues on a Monday, go together well But darling: you can discover the lover in me I can discover the lover in thee Together we can rock and roll until the cow come home. Sometimes, some kind of sadness shows upon your face Sometimes, some kind of madness tries to take my place But darling: you can discover the lover in me And I can discover the lover in thee Together we can rock and roll until the cow come home. One day our laughter comes flowing with the rain And on the very next day our laughter sees us crying again But darling: you can discover the lover in me And I can discover the lover in thee I can discover the lover in thee You can discover the lover in me Together we can rock and roll until the cow come home |

When that hurt in your heart has gone;
When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call. Darling, that's all that you have to do. Show me a sign; A word or a line, One stitch in time, To save this poor heart From breaking. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, I'll still be your friend. Right to the end of forever And further still. This hurting will mend, And I hope you'll remember all the time; Hope you'll remember every line, Hope you'll remember All the love, all the love, all the love. {guitar solo} When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Just say my name. You don't have to say it loud; I'll still feel the same And I'll still be true, Waiting for you To come sailing through, 'Cause you know you can. When that hurt in your heart has gone; When that hurt in your heart has gone. When that hurt in your heart has gone, Give me a call... |

Well the man upstairs always lends an ear
To the man downstairs, even though he doesn't care The man up the spiral staircase would love to sympathise With the man downstairs and the same old phrase Big Muff, can't you see I've had enough? God knows you're trying to kill me Big Muff, get away with your powder puff Lord knows you're killing me It's like an allergy with no apology It saps my energy and denies my integrity Big Muff, get away with your powder puff Lord knows you're killing me Good Lord knows you're stifling me Good Lord knows you're trying to kill me Well the man upstairs has learned it from the wife But the man downstairs has got trouble in his life The man upstairs don't notice what is wrong Every time he sees his neighbour singing that same old song Big Muff, get away with your powder puff Lord knows you're trying to kill me Big Muff, get away with your terrible stuff God knows you're killing me This thing is dangerous I tell you it's serious No need to be envious It's bigger than both of us Big Muff, can't you see I had enough Lord knows you're trying to kill me Well, the man downstairs has moved away for good Like the man upstairs always knew he would The man downstairs has moved and gone away And a girl upstairs every night can hear him say Big Muff, get away with your powder puff Lord knows you're killing me Big Muff, can't you see I had enough God knows you're stifling me It's like an allergy With no apology It saps my energy Most contemporaneously. Big Muff, can't you see that I've had enough God knows you're stifling me God knows you're stifling me Oh Lord knows you're trying to kill me |

Looking at me you never find out what a working man's about:
Raving all night, sleeping away the day. Something to ask, Something to say, Something to keep the pain away; Something I'd like to see if it's alright. Life, go easy on me; Love, don't pass me by. Spending my time, making it shine, gotta throw away the rest, Look at the ways to vent and amaze my mind. Something I need, Something I plea for, Something I have to say; Something to keep me safe while I'm away. Life, go easy on me; Love, don't pass me by. Life, go easy on me; Love, don't pass me by. One way for me, one way for you, one way for all of us To get back home, do whatever we want to do. Nothing to tell you, Nothing to show, Nothing that you don't know. Something to play, Something to say for now. Life, go easy on me; Love, don't pass me by. Life, go easy on me; Love, don't pass me by. Love, don't pass me by... |

Just to watch it die. Line after line, I loved it, Just to watch it cry. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you home. Wave after wave, I watched it, Just to watch it turn. Day after day, I cooled it, Just to watch it burn. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you home. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Pain after pain I stood in, Just to see how it would feel. Rain after rain I stood in, Just to make it real. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the day you go away. Bless the weather that brought you to me, Curse the storm that takes you away. Time after time, I held it, Just to watch it die. Line after line, I held it, Just to watch it cry.

She walked to the water
And came back looking good and feeling fine. And you could tell by her eyes, she was not wasting time. She walked to the water, And every light went on inside the town. You know the love in her eyes, was flashing on the rocks all around. Down to the water, She walked and all the people moved aside. You know the light in her hair so bright, they almost cried. Saved by the water, She said when she was right, I know she was. You know she told me true about all the things I got. Going down to see her, Bring yourself and all that you might own; She can give you the clues to all the seeds you've sown. Down to the water, She came back feeling fine and looking good. And you could tell by her eyes that she always knew she would |

Searching back through the friends I've known,
Sometimes sad for the way it's grown. Ranging up and ranging out And trying to change my ways about. There's a place in the leaf, a place in the bow. I've found a place for me, Just now, just now, Just now. Moving on with every word, Moving with all the words I heard. Turning the wheel as fast as I can, Turning the wheel to make me a man. There's a man in the moon, a man in the sea, Growing strong, there's a man in me, Just now just now, Just now. No behind and no before; There's no need to worry any more. Happy then, happy now, There's always a way to get happy somehow. Friend on the road, friend in the home; A better friend than I've ever known, Just now, just now, Just now... Searching back for the friends I've known, Sometimes sad for the way it's grown. Changing up and ranging out, And trying to change my ways about.

There's just no way to say how much I love you,
You never made me cry And that's just fine. Only got my fear, To put above you; You know we all get scared from time to time. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the place it starts. Love me from your head and heart; Love me like a child. There's just no way to play the things I'm feeling; No way to tell you all the things you mean. Everyday I only feel like stealing, Away to where I know I can be clean. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the place it starts. Love me from your head and heart; Love me when I'm wild. Laying down the ways to say I need you, Scared of looking tall and feeling small. Running through the days I have beside you, Scared of being wrong and that's it all. Love me with your head and heart; Love with your very self. Love me with your head and heart; Love me like a child. There's just no way to say how much I love you, You never made me cry And that's just fine. Only got my fate, A bird above you; You know we all get scared from time to time. Love me with your head and heart; Love me from the very start. Love me with your head and heart; Love me like a child. |

I wish I had walked down, every road I ever set my eyes upon.
I wish I could take care, of every dream I ever set my heart upon. I wish I could step free, of every weight I ever leaned my weight upon. Lay low, let the good things come, Lay low, let the good things come. Wish I could walk out, of every scene of every game I ever played. I wish I could move on, from every place in every town I ever stayed. I wish I could let go, and hold on to anything I wanted to. Let go, let the good things come, Let go, let the good things come; Lay low, let the good things come, Let go, let the good things come. I wish I could see you, and bear the times and long the days to waste away. I wish I could be you, and see the world another way, another way. I wish you could get through, to every face and every friend I ever knew. Let go, let the good things come, Let go, let the good things come. Let go, let the good things come, Lay low, let the good things come... |

I know that we're going to be together, you and me.
For more than a rhyme or two, your time belongs to me. Rowing back down my river, Chasing my tail to the sea; Rowing back down my river, Trying my best to be me. Watching your crazy ways and all the lazy days, Digging you more and more, the more I see your face. Rowing back down my river, Trying my best to be free; Rowing back down my river, Chasing my tail to the sea. Watching the simple things to help me grow along. Loving the notes you bring to help me sing my song. Rowing back down my river, Trying my best to be me; Rowing back down my river, Singing my songs to the sea. I know that we're going to be together, you and me. For more than a time or two, your rhymes belong to me. Rowing back down my river, Chasing my tail to the sea; Rowing back down my river, Trying my best to be me. |

Just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above The sun's in my heart And I'm ready for love. Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place Come on with the rain I have a smile on my face I walk down the lane With a hap-hap-happy refrain I'm singin' just singin' in the rain |

If you want to ride a rainbow, come with me,
I will take you to the magic purple sea. Maybe we will find a thousand sugar fish; When you eat them they will grant your every wish. And if you want your friends to come, Then bring them all along... If you want to catch a star then walk my way, I will take you where the night is always day. You can follow me if you really try; Maybe we will find a rainbow to teach it to fly. And if you want your friends to come, Then bring them all along... I will take you through the magic dancing wood, And I will take you where the goblins are all good. I will take you where the elfs and pixies do sing, And I will take you 'round the magic fairy ring. And if you want your friends to come, Then bring them all along... Bow your head and let your eyelids close on down. Where we're going you won't need to bring your frown: You will find that all the things that I have said Will come true when you are lying in your bed. And if you want your friends to come, Then bring them all along... |
