LITTLE BIT OF LOVE
I believe if you give a little bit of love to those you live with
A little bit of love oh it's got to come your way
Well in my mind it's easy to lose sight of the truth
But in my heart I can't deny my feeling inside
Cause I believe if you give a little bit of love to those you live with
A little bit of love oh it's got to come your way
Man in the sky he'll say you're flying you'll lose sight of the role
You wanna stay high then don't deny your feeling inside
Cause I believe if you give a little bit of love to those you live with
A little bit of love oh it's got to come your way
I believe if you give a little bit of love to those you live with
A little bit of love oh it's got to come your way
I believe if you give a little bit of love to those you live with
A little bit of love oh it's got to come your way
LITTLE TIM MAGUIRE
Little Tim Maguire loved to play with fire
Always hated water, never used to wash
Loved the smell of burning, of bonfires burning
Loved to play all day with his little tinder box
When he was young they put him in a uniform
Sent him to school with iron railings all around
Hated the school and the rules and the railings
Had just one ambition to burn the whole place down
When Maguire grew older, they made him wear a bowler
Sent him to work in an office in the town
Hated the people, the pens and the paper
Took his little tinder box and burned it to the ground
The judge said at his trial “your behaviour has been vile
You’re a menace to society, though you may think you’re big
You’ll have to go to prison”, and then what a commotion
Smoke and flames were pouring from the judge’s wig
They never found Tim Maguire’s little tinder box
They never found a trace of little Tim Maguire
Perhaps he’s up in heaven, setting fire to angels’ halos
Perhaps he’s down in hell, dancing round the fire
Little Tim Maguire loved to play with fire
Always hated water never used to wash
Loved the smell of burning, of bonfires burning
Loved to play all day with his little tinder box
Fire, fire, there’s fire down below
It’s fetch a bucket of water girls, there’s fire down below
LITTLE WING
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras moonbeams fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's all right it's all right she says it's all right
Take anything you want from me anything at all
LONELY DAYS
Good morning mister Sunshine
You brighten up my day
Come and sit beside me
In your way
I see you every morning
Outside the restaurant
The music plays so nonchalant
Ah ah ah
Lonely days lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman
Lonely days lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman
Where would I be without my woman
Lonely days lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman
Good morning mister Sunshine
You brighten up my day
Come and sit beside me
In your way
I see you every morning
Outside the restaurant
The music plays so nonchalant
Ah ah ah
Lonely days lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman
Lonely days lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman
Where would I be without my woman
Lonely days lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left them full of tears
Crying for the day
They meet me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I’ve been alone
And many times I’ve cried
Anyway you’ll never know
The many ways I’ve tried
And still they lead me back
To the long and winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long and winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don’t keep me standing here
Lead me to your door
LONG AS I CAN SEE THE LIGHT
Put a candle in the window
But I feel I've got the blues
But I'm going going I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light
Pack my bag and let's get moving
Cause I'm bound to trip a while
I'll be gone gone you don't have to worry no more
Long as I can see the light
Guess I've got that old travelling bug
And the feeling won't leave me alone
But I won't no I won't lose my way
Long as I can see the light
Put a candle in the window
But I feel I've got the blues
But I'm going going I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light

LONG TRAIN RUNNING (WITHOUT LOVE)
Down around the corner
Half a mile from here
You see them old trains runnin’
And you watch them disappear
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love
You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and family
And she won't be coming back
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love
Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central freight
Can't keep on pushing mama
‘Cause you know they're running late
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love
Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central freight
Can't keep on pushing mama
‘Cause you know they're running late
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love
Where pistons keep on turning
And the wheels go round and round
And steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love
Ooh where would you be now
Got to get it baby baby won’t you move it down
Won’t you move it down
Baby baby baby baby won’t you move it down
When the big train runs
And the train is movin’ on
I gotta keep on moovin’
Keep on movin’
Keep on movin’
Gonna keep on movin’
THE LONGEST TIME
Woh oh oh oh for the longest time
Woh oh oh for the longest
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me when you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
Woh oh oh oh for the longest time
Woh oh oh for the longest
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you and how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right and I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far and it's more than I hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far and it's more than I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
Woh oh oh oh for the longest time
Woh oh oh oh for the longest time
Woh oh oh oh for the longest time
Woh oh oh oh for the longest time
LOOK AT ME
Who am I but you in the sun
A sad reflection of everyone
Was it me who let you walk away
Were you the one or is it we’re the same
What are we in time going by
The simple story of a younger life
Half in dreams and somehow through the day
We haven’t come so far to lose our way
Look at me I believe it’s true
You’re a part of me I’m a part of you
Love is only what we’ve come to live
Waking breathing and all we give
A crystal passing reflected in our eyes
Eclipsing all the jealousy and lies
Look at me can’t you see it’s true
You’re a part of me I’m a part of you
Quiet as the voices in a dream
Without you shadow the things I’ve seen
Were not for the evening I let you walk away
Were you the one or is it we’re the same
Look at me I believe it’s true
You’re a part of me I’m a part of you
LOOKING IN YOUR BIG BROWN EYES
A la la la la long a la la la la long longly long long long
A la la la la long a la la la la long longly long long long
Staring across the room I saw you smile
I said I want to talk to you woo woo for a little while
But before I make my move my emotions start running wild
My tongue is tied and that’s no lie
I’m looking in your eyes yeah I’m looking in your big brown eyes
Ooh girl I’ve got this to say to you yeah
Girl I want to make you sweat sweat ‘till you can’t sweat no more
And if you cry out I’m gonna push it some more
Girl I want to make you sweat sweat ‘till you can’t sweat no more
And if you cry out I’m gonna push you push it push it some more
A la la la la long a la la la la long longly long long long
A la la la la long a la la la la long longly long long long
So I say to myself if she loves me or not
But it’s great I know that love is his to take
It’s a little bit of this a little bit of that the lyrics goes on besides
My tongue get’s tied and that’s no lie
I’m looking in your eyes yeah I’m looking in your big brown eyes
Ooh girl I’ve got this to say to you yeah
Girl I want to make you sweat sweat ‘till you can’t sweat no more
And if you cry out I’m gonna push it some more
Girl I want to make you sweat sweat ‘till you can’t sweat no more
And if you cry out I’m gonna push you push it push it some more

LOVE IS IN THE AIR
Love is in the air everywhere I look around
Love is in the air every sight and every sound
And I don’t know if I’m being foolish
Don’t know if I’m being wise
But it’s something that I must believe in
And it’s there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air in the whispering of the trees
Love is in the air in the thunder of the seas
And I don’t know if I’m just dreaming
Don’t know if I feel sane
But it’s something that I must believe in
And it’s there when I call out your name
Love is in the air in the rising of the sun
Love is in the air when the day is nearly done
And I don’t know if you are illusion
Don’t know if I see it true
But you’re something that I must believe in
And you’re there when I reach out for you
Love is in the air everywhere I look around
Love is in the air every sight and every sound
And I don’t know if I’m being foolish
Don’t know if I’m being wise
But it’s something that I must believe in
And it’s there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air in the rising of the sun
Love is in the air when the day is nearly done
And I don’t know if you are illusion
Don’t know if I see it true
But you’re something that I must believe in
And you’re there when I reach out for you

LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
Living on free food tickets
Blowing in the milk from a hole in the roof
where the rain came through
What can you do if we move
Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn’t have a dress without a patch
But a party to go but oh you know she’ll get by
‘Cause she’s living in the love of the common people
Smiles through the heart of the family man
Daddy’s gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamma’s gonna love her just as fast as she can and she can
It’s a good thing you don’t have busfare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you’d lose it in the snow on the ground
You gotta walk into town to find a job
Trying to keep your toes warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills them to the bone so you’d better go home where it’s warm
You can live in the love of the common people
Smiles through the heart of the family man
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma’s gonna love you just as fast as she can and she can
Living on a dream ain’t easy the closer the lip the tighter the flip
And then you stay away go round trying the family crowd
You know that fate is their foundation
The whole of the love and the warm conversation but don’t forget to pray
Just make it strong where you belong
You can live in the love of the common people
Smiles through the heart of the family man
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma’s gonna love you just as fast as she can and she can
You can live in the love of the common people
Smiles through the heart of the family man
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma’s gonna love you just as fast as she can and she can
LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH
If you’re down and confused
And you don’t remember who you’re talking to
Concentration slip away
‘Cause your baby is so far away
Well there’s a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can’t be with the one you love
Honey love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with love the one you’re with
Dit dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit
Dit dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit

Don’t be angry don’t be sad
And don’t sit crying over good times you’ve had
There’s a girl right next to you
And she’s just waiting for something to do
Well there’s a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can’t be with the one you love
Honey love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with love the one you’re with
Dit dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit
Dit dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit
Dit dit dit, dit dit dit

Love the one you’re with love the one you’re with
Turn your heartache right into joy

You ain’t gonna need any more advice
Well there’s a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can’t be with the one you love
Honey love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with love the one you’re with
Dit dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit

LOVER’S CONCERTO
How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up in the trees
Serenade the flowers with their melodies
See there beyond the hill
The bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us just to fall in love
Now I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I will to you every part of me
Don’t ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally
Some day we shall return
To this place upon the meadow
We’ll walk out in the rain
Hear the birds above
Singing once again
Oh hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
LOVERS CROSS
They said that it was bound to happen
Just a matter of time
Now I’ve come to my decision
It’s one of the painful kind
Now it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy wouldn’t do
But baby I can’t hang upon a lover’s cross for you
Well I’ve really got to hand it to you
‘Cause girl you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughing
There were two times that I cried
And you were trying to make me a martyr
That’s one thing I just couldn’t do
‘Cause baby I can’t hang upon a lover’s cross for you
‘Cause tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
Bridges are meant for burning
And the people and memories they join up the same
Still I hope that you can find another
Who can take what I could not
He’s have to be some kind of super guy
Or maybe a super god
‘Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain’t ‘bout to start something new
‘Cause baby I can’t hang upon a lover’s cross for you
‘Cause tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
Bridges are meant for burning
And the people and memories they join up the same
Still I hope that you can find another
Who can take what I could not
He’d have to be some kind of super guy
Or maybe a super god
‘Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain’t ‘bout to start something new
‘Cause baby I can’t hang upon a lover’s cross for you
