The Smithereens

Saturday night and it's gettin' late
I'm gettin' hungry, I just can't wait
Not just any kind of burger will do
I'm being hit by those
White Castle blues
White Castle blues

I think I'll get some crisp onion rings
To compliment 10 of those little square things
An orange soda or a milkshake will do
I'm being hit by those
White Castle blues
White Castle blues

I was first introduced to those bastards by Duke
On a hot summer night when we went out to cruise
But memories such as Bobbo and puke
Are just part of the saga of
White Castle blues

Saturday night and it's gettin' late
I'm gettin' hungry, I just can't wait
Not just any kind of burger will do
I'm being hit!

Hey! (x8)

[Random quotes]

It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say

I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses

Love flowers in the springtime
October we were wed
In wintertime the roses died
The blood ran cold
And then she said

I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses

It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say

I need your love but it comes out wrong
I try to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
Blood and roses

It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say

I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong

I used to travel in the shadows
And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you
But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste
There's too much to lose
Girl you say anything at all, and you know that you can call
And I'll be right there for you
First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake
What else can you do
[Chorus]
I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you
People talk and people stare, tell them I don't really care
This is the place I should be
And if they think it's really strange for a girl like you
To be in love with someone like me
I want to tell them all to go to hell
That we're doing very well without them you see
That's just the way it is and they will see
I am yours and you are mine the way it should be
[Chorus]
Now if I seem a little wild, there's no holding back
I'm trying to get a message to you
I won't take anything from anyone
I won't walk and I won't run, I believe in you
London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run
Together we'll be
Inside, outside, got my pride
I won't let him take you from me
[Chorus]

> You know I really wanna see you when you know I might not
(And you make me want you more when you hurt me a lot)
I say I really love you and you say that you don't
(And it really turns me on when you say that you won't)
CHORUS
The blues before and after
I get the blues before and after I'm with you
The blues before and after
I get the blues before and after loving you
Sometimes I need to hear you voice
Sometimes I don't want to know
(I get so tired of tryin' to win you I just don't want to know)
You're takin' just what you need
And then you're well on your way
(I hear the same old story almost every day)
CHORUS
It's a shame that you won't see me when I need you tonight
Cause I know that if you did then everything would be right
And I've tried my very best to give the things that you need
But the blues they seem to follow me I never succeed
I wanna take you in my arms and you just don't wanna know
(When I finally get to touch you, feels like forty below)
Just as always you have gotten your way
Just a normal complication in a typical day
CHORUS
~wc~

> Blue period, black comedy
Such a joke I've played on me
I let you go
And now I know a world of uncertainty
Now I think about the days
When I let you down in so many ways
That's the time I want to cry
And the time I wonder why and pray
My apathy is tragedy
I'm content to stay inside
This emptiness is killing me
I can run but I can't hide
And you loved me all along
When I always did you wrong
That's the time I can't forget
And it fills me with regret always
when you think that you have won
Then your heartache's just begun
Blue period, black comedy
Love's a clown, now laugh my way
I think of you
Much more than I'd ever be willing to say
Now I don't want to pretend
I was glad to see us ending this way
That's the time I want to cry
And the time I wonder why and pray
Blue period, I'm looking for someone who
Is just like you, to help end this blue period

Baby be good, baby every night
Better be good, you know it's only right
Baby be good, 'til I come back home
Baby don't be bad 'cause you're all alone

I don't wanna go but I leave today
Just remember what I had to say
All I ask of you when I go away
Is baby be good, baby be good

Baby be good, baby every night
Better be good, c'mon and let it show
Baby be good, try and understand
Baby don't be bad with another man

If you7re gonna play I don't want to know
It would break my heart 'cause I love you so
All I wanna say now before I go
Is baby be good, baby be good

I never really thought that I would lose my heart
But I love all the things that you do
It's funny 'cause I just don't think you fit the part
I always wanna be here with you

If yo're gonna play I don't wanna know
It would break my heart 'cause I love you so
All I wanna say now before I go
Is baby be good, baby be good

Baby be good, baby every night
Better be good, you know it's only right
Baby be good 'til I come back home
Baby don't be bad 'cause you're all alone

I don't wanna go but I leave today
Just remember what I had to say
All I ask of you when I go away
Is baby be good, baby be good

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
I sit, watch the days go by
I don't need to wonder why

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
In a room without a view, without you

This room is the perfect size
And it never tells me lies
Many pleasant memories
All repeating worthlessly

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
In a room without a view, without you

here I find security, no problems here for me
This is where I want to be
And whether I like it or not, a room without a view is what
I've got

Here I find security, so please don't bother me
This is where I ought to be
And whether I like it or not
A room without a view is what I've got

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
I sit, watch the years go by
I don't need to wonder why

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
In a room without a view, without you

I never think about the future
I just live for today
And if you want a ready answer
I've got nothing to say
So please don't bother talking to me
I'll just disappoint you
Because I'm quite content to sit right here
With nothing to do

Well I'm not the same guy that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

I never wanna find an answer 'cause
I don't like the truth
And if I find just what I'm looking for
I've something to lose
So please don't go and ask me questions
I just won't feel the same
(I'll do what you say, doesn't matter anyway)
And when I think about religion
Well, there's no one to blame
(I'll agree with you, doesn't matter what I do)

Well I'm not the singer that you used to know
I used to be the ??? fella with someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

{Tell me something new, then I might agree with you
I live for today, not yesterday)


I never think about the future
I just live for today
And if you want an easy answer
I've got nothing to say
Now I'm not the singer that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

Sentimental gestures never meant that much to me
But if I had her here today
I'd shed a tear for all the world to see

[Chorus]
Cut flowers sent to a girl with sentimental ways
Cut flowers meant more to her on ordinary days

A gentle girl who needed all the love I had to give
But I was blind to her and would not give
What she needed most to live

[Chorus]

Cut flowers pressed between the pages of a book she gave
I go to her and say, "I'm sorry,"
Then I put cut flowers on her grave

[Chorus]

I take my time and I like to move slow
Why should I worry when there's nowhere to go?
I like things simple and my friends are alright
I tell no stories and I sleep good at night

Things were different just before I met you
Now I worry wonderin' what to do
I was happy never playin' your game
Now you tell me that your name is William Wilson

I run up the staircase and there's nobody there
I play my records and then I haven't a care
My ears to the speaker and the heartache's forgot
Sometimes I'd forget you, other times I could not

I'd lie crying on the top of my bed
I was wonderin' 'bout the life you led
I would cry for you and call out your name
Now you say no one's to blame but William Wilson
William Wilson, William Wilson
William Wilson, let him run wild

I want to talk to him
I want to talk to him
Where is he now?
Where is he now?
I wanna be like him
I want to see him grin
Where is he now?
Where is he now?

I'd lie crying on the top of my bed
I was wonderin' 'bout the life you led
Now I understand we're both just the same
Now I tell you that my name is William Wilson
William Wilson, let him run wild
Let him run wild

Little girl, little one
He gave his heart to you
In this world you'll never know
A love that is more true

I will all my days
That's how it's got to be
I believe in true love ways
Maria Elena

Little girl, now don't you cry
You'll meet again someday
Why he left, still wonder why
There's nothing left to say

I will love you all my days
You're still a part of me
I believe in true love ways
Maria Elena

Our love will live on through eternity
In your life you'll never find
Another man who means as much to you as he does

I will love you all my days
That's how it's got to be
I believe in true love ways
Maria Elena

Little girl, little one
He gave his heart to you
In this world you'll never know
A love that is more true

And now it's time to go to bed
My darling rest your weary head
But I have work I should begin
So I will tuck you in
And I will kiss your tears away

I never thought I'd run to you
I thought I'd better things to do
But now I can't wait for the day
When by your side I'll lay
And I will kiss your tears away

I will give you everything
I will make your every dream come true
I will be the one you need
You know I'm the one to see you through

I will give you everything
I will make your every dream come true
I will be the one you need
You know I'm the one to see you through

And now it's time to go to bed
My darling rest your weary head
But I have work I should begin
So I will tuck you in
And I will kiss your tears away

She told me sunday
baby it's over
we can't go on this way.
I really love you,
but I love him too.
She said take care, ok.

I never really
thought that she'd leave her
whole home and family.
I've got my own life,
you've still got your wife,
she whispered tenderly.

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

All throughout this troubled time.
times I've wish that you were mine,
spend my nights and daysthinking of you.

Sometimes lie awake at night,
think of you and it's alright,
spend my nights and days thinking of you.

She told me sunday,
baby it's over
we can't go on this way.
I really love you
but I love him too.
She said take care, ok

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

Listen to me, girl,
I've been so lonely.
Want you so bad, girl.
I want you only.
Listen, listen to me girl.

Listen to me, now.
I'm thinking of you.
Listen to my heart.
I really love you.
Listen, listen to me, girl.

Sometimes, I wonder just what she is doing,

Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
Even my hangover's fine.
Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
Hung my mind out on the line.

Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy.
Now, I know that nothing lasts.
Woke up on a groovy Tuesday,
Everything is not the same.

Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
Think I'll even change my name.
Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy.
Now, I know that nothing lasts.

And I can't help it if I'm not the one you need.
It doesn't matter if I'm still the lost ball in the weeds.
Woke up on a groovy Tuesday,
Flower pot, man, looked my way.

Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
I can see what he can't say.
Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy.
Now, I know that nothing lasts.

I've been running round in circles
Trying to find my way back to you
It's been so long since I felt this way
That I forgot what I'm supposed to do

You won't break my heart
No matter what you do
My love is especially for you

I've been trying to build a bridge
To get to you for so many years
Now, it looks like it will have to be a dam
Instead to hold back the tears

You won't make me cry
My heart won't break in two
My love is especially for you

It's the same every night
When I turn off the light
And I'm hugging my pillow
Instead of you

In the morning I rise
And I tell myself lies
And pretend that I'm happy
Inspite of you

It's the same every night
When I turn off the light
And I'm hugging my pillow
Instead of you

In the morning I rise
And I tell myself lies
And pretend that I'm happy
Inspite of you

I've been running round in circles
Trying to find my way back to you
It's been so long since I felt this way
That I forgot what I'm supposed to do

You won't break my heart
No matter what you do
My love is especially for you

My love is especially for you
My love is especially for you
Ah, ah, ah

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed.
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Now I am her biggest fan.
Now I know i'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town.
Called you up to have a drink,
Your roommate said you weren't around.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.

I try to live but I don't belong

Blood and roses
Blood and roses

She's written in the wind.
I see her face everywhere I go.
She follows me in my dreams.
I wake with teardrops on my pillow.

Love comes and goes.
Everybody knows
I'm alone at midnight.

I spoke with her on the phone.
It's been three years since we said hello.
The years flow by like a dream.
We talked a while, then she had to go.

Love comes and goes.
Everybody knows
I'm alone at midnight.

Teardrops are falling along down.
My heart is calling to you.
Midnight is calling. I hear the sound
So sad and lonely for you.

If you see her around,
Won't you please tell her I said hello.
The years flow by like a dream.
I wake with teardrops on my pillow.

Love comes and goes.
Everybody knows
I'm alone at midnight.

Saturday night and it's gettin' late

Hey! Hey!
Walk on
Hey! Hey!

Big plans, big time, everything
Downtown pawn shop
Bought us a ring
Heading for the top
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)

Two time, two-ton hangover king
The bride wore black
We were ready to swing
Too far gone to stop
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!

Hey! Hey!

You told me baby you had time to kill
But then you tossed me out like an overdue bill
You left in a hurry with a guy from the band
On a one way ride to the promised land
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Walk on

You told me baby you were gone for good
But here you are
Right back in the old neighborhood
You stood in a lobby with a ticket in hand
For a one-way ride to the promised land
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)

Second-hand wedding band, throw it away
Big plans, big time, got in the way

When I kiss your lips I just don't want to behave
My passion runs deeper and, girl, I'm not afraid
To bare my heart and soul and let it tumble all out
But if you say the word you'll have me talkin' about

When I kiss your lips, I just don't know where I stand
My passion runs deeper and things get out of hand
I'll bare my heart and soul and let it tumble all out
But if you say the word you'll have me talkin' about

(Too much passion) girl, whenever we touch
(Too much passion) girl, there's never too much
(Too much passion) girl, it's never enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough

Whenever you touch me I feel a fire inside
My feelings that I have for you I just can't hide
I'll bare my heart and soul and let it tumble all out
But if you say the word you'll have me talkin' about

(Too much passion) girl, whenever we touch
(Too much passion) girl, there's never too much, oh yeah
(Too much passion) girl, it's never enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough

When I kiss your lips I just don't want to behave
My passion runs deeper and, girl, I'm not afrid
To bare my heart and soul and let it all tumble out
But if you say the word you'll have me talkin' about

(Too much passion) girl, whenever we touch
(Too much passion) girl, there's never too much
(Too much passion) girl, it's never enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough

We used to walk in the sun with our heads held up high
We used to stand on our own, and we never asked why
We used to do everything we were told not to do
But now we all stand in line like the rest of them do

And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?

We used to laugh in their face at the things that they said
And if we had to be them, then we'd rather be dead
And now we all stand in line like the rest of them do
We let it all slip away, tell me, what did we do?

And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?
And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?

All right, yeah

And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?

We used to walk in the sun with our heads held up high
We used to stand on our own, and we never asked why
We used to do everything we were told not to do
But now we all stand in line like the rest of them do

And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?
And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?

I've been waiting for you all my life
And now that you are here I can't believe
How wonderful it is to be here by your side
To see you in the light

In your evening dress tonight

Everytime I think you've gone away
There's only one thing left that's on my mind
And everytime I think about your pretty face
My arms around you tight

In your evening dress tonight
In your evening dress tonight

Time after time you put up with me
Time after time I refused to see
Time after time you are in misery
But what more can I do?

In your evening dress tonight
In your evening dress tonight

I've been thinking about your all day long
And now that you are here I can't believe
And now I know that I would give up everything
To see you in the light
In your evening dress tonight
-you take it all back and then you throw it away

Nobody ever moved me
Did the things that you're doing to me
I see you, and that's all it takes
For you to make me crazy
I only wanted to touch you, baby
And I never meant to stay
I know

I better get a hold of my heart
Before I lose my head
Before I go too far
I gotta get a hold of my heart
Before you change my mind
And get me on my knees
I better get out while I can

Get a hold of my heart

Never thought I'd get this deep now
Ooh, and I can't get free now
No, I just can't find a way
'Cause you love me senseless
Ooh, and my heart is helpless
When you're touching me this way
I know

I better get a hold of my heart
Before I lose my head
Before I go too far
I gotta get a hold of my heart
Before you change my mind
And get me on my knees
I better get out while I can

Get a hold of my heart

And every time I see you
I see how much I need you
And when you're here beside me, baby
I know

I better get a hold of my heart
Before I lose my head
Before I go too far
I gotta get a hold of my heart
Before you change my mind
And get me on my knees
I better get out while I can

Get a hold of my heart

I want you to know
About my Indigo
I want you to see
Just what she's done to me

I'm talkin' to myself again
I'm talkin' to the wall
I've lost my self-respect again
Got nothin' at all

And then it starts all over again
And then it starts all over again

I want you to know
Just what she's done to me
I want it all told
The way it was meant to be

I'm talkin' to myself again
And no one at all
I'm losin' my mind again
'Cause of nothin' at all

And then it starts all over again
And then it starts all over again

Here we go, baby, here we go
Indigo, baby, Indigo

I want you to know
About my Indigo
I want you to see
Just what she's done to me

I'm talkin' to myself again
Talkin' to the wall
I've got no self-respect again
Got nothin' at all

And then it starts all over again
And then it starts all over again

I've been torn apart since I met you
Don't know how I'll see it through
Troubled times are on their way
Wish that you could stay

Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And wonder why

Friends tell me I'm acting like a fool
The way we live breaks all the rules
The lies I tell don't seem so strange
Wake me up, I'll change

Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And just say goodbye

Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away
Love, I can't believe believe I made you feel this way

Last time that I looked into your eyes
Telling lies that made you cry
Troubled times are on their way
Wish that you could stay

Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And wonder why

Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away
Love, I can't believe I made you feel this way

Now and then
Now and then
Love
I feel like giving up

There's a girl in Room 12
And she's waiting for me
For the past seven days
But I haven't been free
I got a wife back at home, and a life, no regret
Still I think about her face, and I just can't forget

A girl in Room 12, and she's waiting alone
She waits in the bed with her head by the phone
She can't understand why it just couldn't be
A girl in Room 12, and she's waiting for me

Girl in Room 12
Girl in Room 12
Girl in Room 12

Well, she came from New York
And she moved to this town
Took a one-room apartment
For no money down
She feel so alone and she needed a man
Now I just can't recall how it got out of hand

A girl in Room 12, and she's waiting alone
She waits in the bed with her head by the phone
She can't understand why it just couldn't be
A girl in Room 12, and she's waiting for me

Girl in Room 12
Girl in Room 12
Girl in Room 12

Little baby, are you all alone tonight?
In my dreams, you love me, everything's all right
Should have told you that I loved you all along
When I try to speak, the words all come out wrong

And I'm still enchanted by your funny ways
And I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days
And heaven is never very far, anywhere you are

In my lonely room, I think of you again
Lazy afternoons and gentle falling rain
Night and day and all these tears I cry for you
Can't believe this is the end, goodbye, we're through

'Cause I'm still enchanted by your funny ways
And I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days
And heaven is never very far, anywhere you are

And I'm still enchanted by your funny ways
And I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days
And heaven is never very far, anywhere you are

Little baby, are you all alone tonight?
In my dreams, you love me, everything's all right
Should have told you that I loved you all along
When I try to speak, the words all come out wrong

And I'm still enchanted by your funny ways
And I'm still gonna love you for the rest of my days
And heaven is never very far, anywhere you are

And I'm still enchanted by your funny ways
And I'm still gonna love you for the rest of my days
And heaven is never very far, anywhere you are

It was just yesterday
That I saw your face
Looking in my window
I can't recall the place we first met
It seems, but I guess that you know

Hadn't thought about it
For a long, long time
But still she's here inside me
Never off my mind
I try to hide it from you, but you know
And I hear it over and over again

Do you recall the day I first came your way?
And I had to know you
When you stepped in the way
And I smiled at you
Though I never meant to

Hadn't thought about it
For a long, long time
But still she's here inside me
Never off my mind
I try to hide it from you, but you know
And I hear it over and over again

You can talk about tomorrow
All your talkin' doesn't mean a thing
All our yesterdays are sorrow
Can't stop remembering

Hadn't thought about it
For a long, long time
But still she's here inside me
Never off my mind
I try to hide it from you, but you know
And I hear it over and over again

It was just yesterday
That I saw your face
Looking in my window
I can't recall the place we first met
It seems, but I guess that you know

Hadn't thought about it
For a long, long time
But still she's here inside me
Never off my mind
I try to hide it from you, but you know
And I hear it over and over again

Ran into a friend I used to know yesterday
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
Used to have a lot, but there was nothing to say
Then he said take your time and good night

It's all right if you want to come home
It's all right if you're better alone
Since you left yesterday
Black and white has turned gray
It's all right

Wake up, morning coffee, and there's nothing to say
I am cold in the bed in the night
Had a lot of fun, but that won't change yesterday
Don't you know I still leave on the light?

It's all right if you want to come home
It's all right if you're better alone
Since you left yesterday
Black and white has turned gray
It's all right

The same old story, gotta hear it again
I keep on bringin' you down
It makes no difference what a fool I've been
The world keeps turning around
The world keeps turning around

It's all right if you want to come home
It's all right if you're better alone
Since you left yesterday
Black and white has turned gray
It's all right

Ran into a girl I used to know yesterday
It's all right, it's all right now and then
Used to have a lot, but there was nothing to say
It's all right, it's all right in the end

It's all right if you want to come home
It's all right if you're better alone
Since you left yesterday
Black and white has turned gray
It's all right

If you want to say goodbye, I'll wait for your reply
(And) when you're walkin' down the street, you'll know the reason why
If you call me on the phone, you'll find that I have gone
And when he whispers in your ear you'll know that you were wrong

If you want the sun to shine
If you want this heart of mine
If you want the sun
If you want the sun
If you want the sun to shine

If you call me by name, there won't be words to say
And when you pass me on the street I'll look the other way
If you think I wait for you, you've got a lot to learn
And if you plan to change your mind, don't wait for my return

If you want the sun to shine
If you want this heart of mine
If you want the sun
If you want the sun
If you want the sun to shine

The sun won't shine anymore
The way it used to before
Since you have taken from me
The things that once used to be

If you want the sun
If you want the sun
If you want the sun to shine
If you want to say goodbye I'll wait for your reply
(And) when you're walkin' down the street, you'll know the reason why
If you call me on the phone, you'll find that I have gone
And when he whispers in your ear you'll know that you were wrong

If you want the sun to shine
If you want this heart of mine
If you want the sun
If you want the sun
If you want the sun to shine

Did you ever see the faces of the children
They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited

They believe in dreams and all they mean
Including heavens generosity
Peeping 'round the door
To see what parcels are for free in curiosity

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved from the eternal grave?

Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently
And unaware of everything
Playing poxy pinball
Picks his nose and smiles and pokes his tongue at everything

I believe in love but how can men
Who've never seen light be enlightened?
Only if he's cured
Will his spirits future level ever heighten

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved from the eternal grave?

Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you, can you, can you hear me?
How can he be saved?

Did you ever see the faces of the children

Oh, oh, you've been good to me, you made me glad when I was blue

There, there's a place where I can go
When I feel low, when I feel blue
And it's my mind and there's no time
When I'm alone

I think of you
The things you do go 'round my head
The things you said like I love only you

In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so
There'll be no sad tomorrow
Don't you know that it's so

There, there's a place where I can go
When I feel low, when I feel blue
And it's my mind and there's no time

So I'm telling you my friend
That I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Well, there's gonna be a time
When I'm gonna change your mind
So you might as well resign yourself to me
Oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

I've got somethin' to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talkin' to that boy again
I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat
Because I told you before, oh you can't do that

Well, it's the second time I've caught you talkin' to him
Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin?
I think I?ll let you down and leave you flat
(Let you down)
(Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before, oh you can't do that

Everybody's green ?cause I'm the one who won your love
But if they'd see you talking that way they'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I think I?ll let you down and leave you flat
(Let you down)

Because I told you before, oh you can't do that

I love you
'Cause you tell me things I want to know
And it's true
That it really only goes to show
That I know that I
Should never, never, never be blue

Now you're mine
My happiness makes me cry
And in time
You'll understand the reason why
If I cry, it's not because I'm sad
But you're the only love that I've ever had

I can't believe
It's happened to me
I can't conceive
Of any more misery

Ask me why
I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you

I love you
'Cause you tell me things I want to know
And it's true
That it really only goes to show
That I know that I
Should never, never, never be blue

Ask me why
I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you

I can't believe
It's happened to me
I can't conceive
Of any more misery

Ask me why
I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you
You
You

As I write this letter
Send my love to you
Remember that I 'll always
Be in love with you

Treasure these few words till we 're together
Keep all my love for ever
P.S I love you
You, you, you

I 'll be coming home again to you, love
Until the day I do, love
P.S I love you
You, you, you

(Repeat 2 times)

Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand
If its funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I?d rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you is everything I need
Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you is everything I need
Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
I?ve discovered I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'Cause I've been in love before and I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you, I must be sure from the very start
That you would love me more than her
If I trust in you, oh please don't run and hide
If I love you too, oh please don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I would love to love you
And that she will cry when she learns we are two

?Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I would love to love you
And that she will cry when she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you

Well, come on pretty baby won't you walk with me?
Come on pretty baby won't you talk with me?
Come on pretty baby give me one more chance
Try to save our romance

Slow down

You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin'
If you want our love to last

Well, I used to walk you home baby after school
Carry your books home too

Baby what you're tryin' to do?

Slow down

You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin'
If you want our love to last

I don't wanna spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I don't wanna spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her

Some other guy now
Is taking my love away from me, oh now
Some other guy now
Is taking away my sweet desire, oh now

Some other guy now
I just don?t wanna hold my fun, oh now
I'm the lonely one
As lonely as I can feel alright

Some other guy
Is sipping up the honey like a yellow dog, oh now
Some other guy now
Has taken our love just like a hog, oh now

Some other guy now
Has taken my love away from me, oh now
I'm the lonely one
As lonely as I could be alright now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh no

Some other guy
Is making me very, very mad, oh now
Some other guy now
Is breaking my padlock off my pad, oh now

Some other guy now
Took the first girl I ever had, oh now
I'm the lonely one
As lonely as I can feel alright

Oh, no, no, no
I'm talking to you right now
Hey, yeah

She told me sunday
baby it's over
we can't go on this way.
I really love you,
but I love him too.
She said take care, ok.

I never really
thought that she'd leave her
whole home and family.
I've got my own life,
you've still got your wife,
she whispered tenderly.

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

All throughout this troubled time.
times I've wish that you were mine,
spend my nights and daysthinking of you.

Sometimes lie awake at night,
think of you and it's alright,
spend my nights and days thinking of you.

She told me sunday,
baby it's over
we can't go on this way.
I really love you
but I love him too.
She said take care, ok

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed.
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Now I am her biggest fan.
Now I know i'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town.
Called you up to have a drink,
Your roommate said you weren't around.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.

My mind is filled with thoughts of you
I think about the days of two
I search the room but you're not there
Your perfume lingers everywhere
But it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory

In a world of pain I have no peer
You fade away and disappear
And now I have to learn the game
Where no one wins or takes the blame
But it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Now that we are history
Only a memory
Only a memory

But it's
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory

Why should it matter if I cry
I sit around and wonder why
Now I feel much too weak to live
And I've got nothing left to give
Now it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory
Only a memory
(Fade)

This is the house we used to live in
This is the place I used to know
This is the house we used to live in
Where I felt I could always go

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

This is the house we used to live in
This is the place that I once knew
This is the house we used to live in
Where I once shared my life with you

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

A house is not a home
And when you live alone you'll find
That it's much harder than
So much harder to believe

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

Our house was not a home
And we both felt alone it seems
It is empty now
Worn and broken like our dreams

This is the house we used to live in
This is a place in our green town
This is the house we used to live in
One look before they tear it down

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart
Falling apart

House we used, used to live in

There's a light in the window
That tells me you're home
I've a dove that you hear
That I call my own
There's a time I remember
When I called you mine
Memories of your kisses
Much sweeter than wine

(chorus)
Maybe I won't be afraid to love somebody new
Maybe I can open up my heart
Then I won't drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears

There's a place where we used to meet
everyday
And a time when we used to love
everyway
All that's left is the pieces
of a broken heart
And a house where nobody lives
since we're apart

(chorus)

There's a light in the window
That tells me you're home
I've a dove that you hear
That I call my own
There's a time I remember
When I called you mine
Memories of your kisses
Much sweeter than wine

(chorus)

Drown in my own tears
(fade)

I used to travel in the shadows
And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you
But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste
There's too much to lose
Girl you say anything at all, and you know that you can call
And I'll be right there for you
First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake
What else can you do
[Chorus]
I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you
People talk and people stare, tell them I don't really care
This is the place I should be
And if they think it's really strange for a girl like you
To be in love with someone like me
I want to tell them all to go to hell
That we're doing very well without them you see
That's just the way it is and they will see
I am yours and you are mine the way it should be
[Chorus]
Now if I seem a little wild, there's no holding back
I'm trying to get a message to you
I won't take anything from anyone
I won't walk and I won't run, I believe in you
London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run
Together we'll be
Inside, outside, got my pride
I won't let him take you from me
[Chorus]

I never think about the future
I just live for today
And if you want a ready answer
I've got nothing to say
So please don't bother talking to me
I'll just disappoint you
Because I'm quite content to sit right here
With nothing to do

Well I'm not the same guy that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

I never wanna find an answer 'cause
I don't like the truth
And if I find just what I'm looking for
I've something to lose
So please don't go and ask me questions
I just won't feel the same
(I'll do what you say, doesn't matter anyway)
And when I think about religion
Well, there's no one to blame
(I'll agree with you, doesn't matter what I do)

Well I'm not the singer that you used to know
I used to be the ??? fella with someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

{Tell me something new, then I might agree with you
I live for today, not yesterday)


I never think about the future
I just live for today
And if you want an easy answer
I've got nothing to say
Now I'm not the singer that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

Hey! Hey!
Walk on
Hey! Hey!

Big plans, big time, everything
Downtown pawn shop
Bought us a ring
Heading for the top
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)

Two time, two-ton hangover king
The bride wore black
We were ready to swing
Too far gone to stop
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Top of the pops
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)

You told me baby you had time to kill
But then you tossed me out like an overdue bill
You left in a hurry with a guy from the band
On a one way ride to the promised land
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Walk on

You told me baby you were gone for good
But here you are
Right back in the old neighborhood
You stood in a lobby with a ticket in hand

When I kiss your lips I just don't want to behave
My passion runs deeper and, girl, I'm not afraid
To bare my heart and soul and let it tumble all out
But if you say the word you'll have me talkin' about

When I kiss your lips, I just don't know where I stand
My passion runs deeper and things get out of hand
I'll bare my heart and soul and let it tumble all out
But if you say the word you'll have me talkin' about

(Too much passion) girl, whenever we touch
(Too much passion) girl, there's never too much
(Too much passion) girl, it's never enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough

Whenever you touch me I feel a fire inside
My feelings that I have for you I just can't hide
I'll bare my heart and soul and let it tumble all out
But if you say the word you'll have me talkin' about

(Too much passion) girl, whenever we touch
(Too much passion) girl, there's never too much, oh yeah
(Too much passion) girl, it's never enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough

When I kiss your lips I just don't want to behave
My passion runs deeper and, girl, I'm not afrid
To bare my heart and soul and let it all tumble out
But if you say the word you'll have me talkin' about

(Too much passion) girl, whenever we touch
(Too much passion) girl, there's never too much
(Too much passion) girl, it's never enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion is not enough
Too much passion...

I am lost somewhere I do not know
This is not the place I meant to go
And they told me before it was so
It was miles from nowhere

I was never meant to be alone
If I make it back I'll stay at home
Always told me that I should not go
I'd be miles from nowhere

Miles & miles left to go
Miles from anything we know

You took your love away from me & left me here for all to see
Never mind the feelings that you're gone and
I am miles from nowhere

miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles

Now you tell me that i should not hate
Just resign myself to such a fate
If you told me that I was too late
I was miles from nowhere

Miles & miles left to go
Miles of sky & road below

You took your love away from me & left me here for all to see
Never mind the feelings that you're gone and
I am miles from nowhere

miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles

Miles & miles left to go
Miles from anything we know

You took your love away from me & left me here for all to see
Never mind the feelings that you're gone and
I am miles from nowhere

I am lost somewhere I do not know
This is not the place I meant to go
And they told me before it was so
It was miles from nowhere

miles...miles...miles...miles
Miles from nowhere

Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
How could I dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
I'll never dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
I'll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Since I saw her standing there
Yeah well, since I saw her standing there

Whenever I want you around, yeah
All I gotta do
Is call you on the phone
And you'll come running home
Yeah, that's all I gotta do

And when I, I wanna kiss you, yeah
All I gotta do
Is whisper in your ear
The words you long to hear
And I'll be kissing you

And the same goes for me
Whenever you want me at all
I'll be here, yes, I will
Whenever you call
You just gotta call on me, yeah

Whenever you call

Oh, you just gotta call on me

Since she's been gone
I want no one
To talk to me
It's not the same
But I'm to blame
It's plain to see

So go away, leave me alone
Don't bother me

I can't believe
That she would leave
Me on my own
It's just not right
When every night
I'm all alone

I've got no time for you right now
Don't bother me

I know I'll never be the same
If I don't get her back again
Because I know she'll always be
The only girl for me

But 'til she's here
Please, don't come near
Just stay away
I'll let you know
When she's come home
Until that day

Don't come around, leave me alone
Don't bother me


I've got no time for you right now
Don't bother me

I know I'll never be the same
If I don't get her back again
Because I know she'll always be
The only girl for me

But 'til she's here
Please don't come near
Just stay away
I'll let you know
When she's come home
Until that day

Don't come around, leave me alone
Don't bother me
Don't bother me
Don't bother me
Don't bother me
Don't bother me

I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you

And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry
It's through, oh-oh

I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no
Not a second time
