| STAIRWAY TO OBLIVION
There’s a ‘Stralian who’s heard that old songs sell like gold He’s recorded a “Stairway to Heaven” With his didgeridoo and his wobble board too With this song he should make a fast million Ooh....and he also may pick up a Grammy He’s been signed up before, but he was such a bore With his paintings and songs of the outback His tied down kangaroo and Coogee bear too Jake the peg in an old plastic black Mac Ooh what a sexual wonder, ooh and it makes me chunder He has tried sniffing coke through his didgeridoo But he just couldn’t handle the bubbles And a bottle or two sends him straight to the loo He’s found fanta gives him far less troubles Ooh from down under, ooh and it makes me chunder And it’s whispered that soon if we all hum the tune He will get a gold disc for his labours And the funny farm waits with wide open gates And we’ll all end up starring in “Neighbours” Oooh...... If there’s some trouble in the disco don’t be alarmed there It’s just the fans want to lynch him They’ll stuff his two little boys with both their two little toys And pull off Jake the peg’s extra limb Oooh...and it really makes me chunder Your head is aching and it won’t go in case you don’t know He must have bribed every DJ Old ladies like to hear his wind blow, maybe “Hey Joe” And “All right Now” will go the same way And as he plummets down the charts There’ll be relief in all our hearts There is a fan club who will know And more important want to show That if you want to come along There is a lesson for you all For anyone who has the gall To try and mock our rock and roll By bastardising “Stairway to Heaven”
And the moon is the only light we'll see No I won't be afraid, oh I won't be afraid Not as long as you stand, stand by me So darling, darling Stand by me, Oh stand by me Oh stand by me Stand by me If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall Or the mountains should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand stand by me So darling, darling Stand by me, Oh stand by me Oh stand by me Stand by me So darling, darling Stand by me, Oh stand by me Oh stand by me Stand by me When ever you're in trouble Stand by me STAY People, stay just a little bit longer, We want to play just a little bit longer. Now the promoter don't mind, And the union don't mind, If we take a little time And we leave it all behind and sing One more song.
Please, please, stay say you will. Say you will.
We want to play just a little bit longer. Now the promoter don't mind, And the union don't mind, If we take a little time And we leave it all behind and sing One more song
Please, please, stay tell me that you're going to. Now your mummy don't mind, And your daddy don't mind, If we take a little time And we leave it all behind and sing One more song.

Tell me that you love me all of the time. Stay just a little bit longer, We want to play just a little bit longer. Now the promoter don't mind, And the union don't mind, If we take a little time And we leave it all behind and sing One more song
‘Cause you know I’ll only kick you out the door I know your name is Rita ,’cause your perfume’s smelling sweeter Than when I saw you down on the floor You won’t need too much persuading I don’t mean to sound degrading But with a face like that you’ve got nothing to laugh about Red lips, hair and fingernails, I hear you’re a mean old Jesebel Let’s get upstairs and read my tarot cards
‘Cause tonight you’re gonna stay with me Stay with me stay with me ‘Cause tonight you’re gonna stay with me So in the morning please don’t say you love me ‘Cause you know I’ll only kick you out the door Yes I’ll pay your cab fare home You can even use my best cologne Just don’t be here in the morning when I wake up
‘Cause tonight you’re gonna stay with me Stay with me stay with me ‘Cause tonight you’re gonna stay with me STILL GOT THE BLUES FOR YOU Used to be so easy to give my heart away But I've found out the hard way There's a price you have to pay I've found out that love is no friend of mine I should have known time after time So long it was so long ago But I've still got the blues for you
But I've found out the hard way It's a road that leads to pain I've found out that love was more than just a game You're playing to win but you lose just the same So long it was so long ago But I've still got the blues for you
Here in my heart there's an empty space You used to be
But I've still got the blues for you Though the days come and go There is one thing I know I've still got the blues for you
You're messing 'round with my heart Oh baby please stop messing 'round You're messing 'round with my heart And if you don't stop messing baby Pretty soon we're gonna have to part Oh baby please stop messing 'round You're messing 'round all the time Oh baby please stop messing 'round You're messing 'round all the time And if you don't stop messing baby You're gonna be somebody else’s baby not mine Squeeze me baby 'till my face turns cherry red Roll me so hard that I fall right out of bed Please stop messin' 'round You're messing' 'round all the time And if you don't stop messing baby You're gonna be somebody else’s baby not mine Squeeze me baby 'till my face turns cherry red Roll me so hard that I fall right out of bed Please stop messin' 'round You're messing' 'round all the time And if you don't stop messing baby You're gonna be somebody else’s baby not mine STREET FIGHTING MAN Everywhere I hear the sound of marching charging feet boy Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy What can a poor boy do but to sing for a rock and roll band Cause in sleepy London town there's just no place for a street fighting man no Hey think the time is right for palace revolution Cause where I live the games we play aren't finding a solution Well what can a poor boy do but to sing for a rock and roll band Cause in sleepy London town there's just no place for a street fighting man no Hey so the name of god is terrible I'll shout and scream I'll kill the gang I'll rail them all in circles Well what can a poor boy do but to sing for a rock and roll band Cause in sleepy London town there's just no place for a street fighting man no STREETS OF LONDON Have you seen the old man in the closed down market, Kicking in the papers with his worn out shoes ? In his eyes you see no pride, Hands held loosely by his side Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news.
And say for you that sun don't shine ? Let me take you by the hand, And lead you through the streets of London. I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags ? She's no time for talking, She just keeps right on walking, Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
And say for you that sun don't shine ? Let me take you by the hand, And lead you through the streets of London. I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
Same old men are sitting there on his own. Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup. Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone. So, how can you tell me, you're lonely, And say for you that sun don't shine ? Let me take you by the hand, And lead you through the streets of London. I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears ? In our winter city, the rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care. So, how can you tell me, you're lonely, And say for you that sun don't shine ? Let me take you by the hand, And lead you through the streets of London. I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
Everybody's gathered there and just to have a sing The atmosphere is warming up the choruses are prime Then the landlord rings his little bell and calls out time Strike the bell landlord serve another round Such a thirsty crowd as this is seldom to be found To break such jovial company would surely be a sin So strike the bell and shut the door and lock us all in Tom over there's chatting up a girl with class She's drinking double vodkas and it's costing him all his brass She's very understanding when she gets a little tight Just another two or three and he'll be set up for the night Strike the bell landlord serve another round Such a thirsty crowd as this is seldom to be found To break such jovial company would surely be a sin So strike the bell and shut the door and lock us all in Jim in the corner has been drinking very hard But everything he's had tonight he's left out in the yard He's got nothing left to show for all he's had to pay It's only fair that he should have some more before he goes away Strike the bell landlord serve another round Such a thirsty crowd as this is seldom to be found To break such jovial company would surely be a sin So strike the bell and shut the door and lock us all in I have to admit I've had a drop or two myself My vision's kind of fuzzy and my legs aren't working well If a copper stopped my car me breath would set his bag alight So keep death off the road and let me stay all night Strike the bell landlord serve another round Such a thirsty crowd as this is seldom to be found To break such jovial company would surely be a sin So strike the bell and shut the door and lock us all in Here comes our local copper a creeping up so sly His beat is hot and dusty and he's looking very dry Underneath that uniform he's just like me and you So stuff a tankard in his fist and lock him in too Strike the bell landlord serve another round Such a thirsty crowd as this is seldom to be found To break such jovial company would surely be a sin So strike the bell and shut the door and lock us all in Landlord if you'll be our friend and if you'll let us stay We'll keep your till a ringing till the dawning of the day The more we drink the more we sing and singing makes us dry We'll drink the moon to bed and drink the sun into the sky Strike the bell landlord serve another round Such a thirsty crowd as this is seldom to be found To break such jovial company would surely be a sin So strike the bell and shut the door and lock us all in STRIKE THE BELL SECOND MATE Aft on the poop deck and walking all about There stands the second mate so steady and so stout What he is a thinking of he doesn’t know himself But we’re wishing he would hurry up and strike strike the bell Strike the bell second mate let us go below Look well to windward you can see it’s going to blow Look at your glass you can see that it has fell Oh we wish that you would hurry up and strike strike the bell Down on the main deck and working at the pumps

bell Strike the bell second mate let us go below Look well to windward you can see it’s going to blow Look at your glass you can see that it has fell Oh we wish that you would hurry up and strike

has fell Oh we wish that you would hurry up and strike strike the bell STUCK IN THIS OLD CITY NOW Stuck in this old city now where living ain’t no fun Where steel and glass and concrete cancel out the wind and sun And I’m thinking of last winter now when we walked hand in hand In the trails of the Colorado Rockies The wind sang us a lullaby the snow was thick as cream And icicles were chandeliers like crystals in a dream And the streams were strips of diamonds and the hills were white as snow And a bear ate all our soya beans in the night Oh Colorado’s calling me From her hillsides and her rivers and her mesas and her trees When blizzards snapped the power lines and all the toilets freeze In December in the Colorado rockies We had time and space and freedom we had love and peace to spare Though we ran out of things to smoke and say and eat and wear And the morning of the avalanche a yeti kidnapped Blanche Took her to his cave up in the rockies Oh Colorado’s calling me (Hey you !) From her glaciers and her canyons and her badlands and ravines And infectious hepatitis was all that came to stay In January in the Colorado rockies The baby didn’t die until we burned up all our wood Considering we ate her raw she tasted pretty good And the Fascist health inspectors dug us out and mailed us home Except for Blanche who wouldn’t leave her man Oh Colorado’s calling me From her mountains and her rivers and her meadows and her trees They tell me I’ll be cured soon thawed and ready to return When it’s April in the Colorado rockies STUCK WITH YOU We've had some fun, guess we've had our ups and downs Been down that rocky road but here we are still around We thought about someone else but neither one took the bait We thought about breaking up but now we know it's much too late We are bound by all the rest that’s the same for another With all the same friends and all the same address Yes it's true I am happy to be stuck with you Yes it's true I'm so happy to be stuck with you 'Cause I can see that you're happy to be stuck with me
And we've had our ins and outs but that's the way it's meant to be We thought about giving up but we could never stay away We thought about breaking up but now we know it's much too late And it's love made history if we change our minds Eventually it's up to you and me Yes it's true I am happy to be stuck with you Yes it's true I'm so happy to be stuck with you 'Cause I can see that you're happy to be stuck with me
With all the same friends and all the same address Yes it's true I am happy to be stuck with you Yes it's true I'm so happy to be stuck with you 'Cause I can see that you're happy to be stuck with me
I'm so happy to be stuck with you SUBSTITUTE You think we look pretty good together You think my shoes are made of leather But I’m a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young but I’m just backdated yeah Substitute your lies for fact I see right through your plastic Mac I look all white but my dad was black My fancy suit’s really made out of sack I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town east isn’t east it was facing south Now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry But I’ll tell you one problem you won’t try To work it out at all just pass it by, pass it by Substitute me for him Substitute my coat for Jim Substitute you for my mum At least I’ll get my washing done I’m a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young but I’m just backdated yeah I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town east isn’t east it was facing south And now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry But it’s a genuine

lies for fact I see right through your plastic Mac I look all white but my dad was black My fancy suit’s really made out of sack SULTANS OF SWING You get a shiver in the dark, it’s a raining in the park, meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie double four time You feel all right when you hear the music ring Well you step inside but you don’t see too many faces Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Too much competition in other places But the horns they’re blowing that sound Way on down South, way on down South, London town Check out Guitar George he knows all the chords Man it’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing And an old guitar is all he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing But Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene He’s got a daytime job, he’s doing all right He can play the honky-tonk like anything Saving it up for Friday night With the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing In the crowded young bars they’re fooling about in the corner Dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band It’s not what they call rock and roll And the Sultans, yeah the Sultans play Creole And than the man steps right up to the microphone He says at last just as the time bell rings Goodnight, and it’s time to go home But he makes it fast with one more thing We are the Sultans, we are the Sultans of Swing SUMMER LIGHTNING Come over here, come on sit down beside me Closer now, come on put your arms, put your arms around me Have you had a bad day too, and I feel the same as you Come on sit down It’s just when I get mad I end up saying things If I thought about I would never say And I think that you already know that But I’ll say it anyway, I’ll say it anyway Don’t let the sun go down the two of us still fighting It’s not a storm at all no it’s only summer, only summer lightning And we’ve still got the night so there’s time to put it right Let’s go to bed SUMMERTIME Summertime and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Your daddy’s rich and your mamma’s good looking So hush little baby

Summertime and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Your daddy’s rich and your mamma’s good looking So hush little baby don’t you cry One of these days you’re gonna rise up singing You’ll spread your wings and you’ll fly away But ‘till then there’s nobody can harm you With your mamma and papa standing close by SUNNY AFTERNOON The taxman’s taken all my dough And left me
