SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE
It's getting near dawn
When lights close a tired eye
I'll soon be with you my love
Give you my dull surprise
I'll be with you darling soon
Be with you when the stars start falling
I've been waiting for so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love
I'm with you my love
The light shining down on you
Yes I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
Stay with you till my seas are dried up
I've been waiting for so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love
I've been waiting for so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

SWEET HOME ALABAMA
Big wheels keep on turning
Carrying me home as soon they can
Singing songs about the southway
I miss that old band once again
Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well, I heard old Neil put it down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
Several men don't need him around
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they robbed the governor (Prouh-prouh-prouh)
Now, we all did what we had to do
Now, Watergate doesn't bother me
Does your conscience bother you
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Now muscle shovellers got the swampers
They did in the summer too
Lord, they give me oh so much
They picked me up when I was blue
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
SWEET JEAN VINCENT
Blue Jean man
Skinny white sailor the chances were slender the beauties were brief
Shall I mourn your decline with some thunderbird wine and a black handkerchief
I miss your sad but genial whisper I miss the voice that called my heart
Sweet Jean Vincent young and old and gone sweet Jean Vincent
Who who who’s that John
White face black shirt white socks black shoes black hair white strap bled white dyed black
Sweet Jean Vincent the blue cap’s road to love
At the surf club ball in the uniform bopping their delight
With the bob tail bandage and an uncanny act she’s the one with the flowing feet
You can wave her fringe back to the sick or frees the beat is incomplete
And the jumpered honey in the dungarees tough sweater and the ponytail
If you guess her age when she comes back stage the loony knobs bite their nails
Black gloves white frost black crepe white lead white sheet black night jet black deadly white
Sweet Jean Vincent there’s one in every town
And the dirt boy drives till the hearse arrives and laid that frisker down
Sweet Jean Vincent there’s nowhere left to hide
With lazy skin and ashtray eyes and perforated pride
So with the well met gel in the public hotel you’re bound to modify
When the lead’s still out in the leak house shout you’d better get out your gold
SWEET LITTLE ROCK AND ROLLER
Only nine years old and sweet as she can be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancing and humming a rock and roll melody
She’s the daughter of a well respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Since she became a rock and roll music fan
Talking ‘bout sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Her daddy don’t have to scold her
Her partner can’t hardly hold her
She never gets any older
Sweet little rock and roller
Should have see her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singer he sang and bowed away
When the star performs she screamed and yelled hooray
Ten thousand eyes were watching him leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming “more, more”
About fifteen hundred of them waiting outside the door
She’s a sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Her daddy don’t have to scold her
She never gets any older
Her partner can’t hardly hold her
She’s a sweet little rock and roller
She’s a sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Her daddy don’t have to scold her
She never gets any older
Her partner can’t hardly hold her
She’s a sweet little rock and roller
SWEET LITTLE SIXTEEN
They're really rocking in Boston Pittsburgh PA
Deep in the heart of Texas around the 'Frisco bay
All over Saint Louis way down in New Orleans
All the cats are gonna dance with sweet little sixteen
Sweet little sixteen she just got to have
About a half a million framed autographs
Her album’s filled with pictures she gets them one by one
She gets so excited won't you look at her run
Oh mummy mummy please may I go
Such a sight to see somebody steal a show
Oh daddy daddy I beg of you
Whisper to daddy it's all right with you
Sweet little sixteen she's got them grown up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick she's sporting high heeled shoes
But tomorrow morning she'll have to change her trend
Be sweet sixteen go back to class again
They're really rocking on bandstands Philadelphia PA
Deep in the heart of Texas around the 'Frisco bay
All over Saint Louis and down in New Orleans
All the cats are gonna dance with sweet little sixteen
SWEET MYSTERY
One of these days I’m gonna do it right
Take her out to dine by candlelight
Rent a suit and give my shoes a shine
And talk about nothing over a glass or two of expensive ...
One of these days I’m gonna do it right
Get to her door and just say goodnight
Even if she asks me to come on in
I’ll make myself say no so I can call again
But babe I really like you
There’s nothing wrong with you oh no
I said baby there is nothing that is wrong with me
I’ve just got to have you for my sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with me
Can’t you see how groovy it could be
If you’d agree to be my sweet mystery
One of these days I’m gonna do it right
Send her flowers and ask her out tomorrow night
Find a little place where maybe we can dance
And build it up slowly for the big romance
One of these days I’m gonna do it right
If I don’t get stoned in the candle light
Not get to her door and scream now you let me in
‘Cause if she said yes it’d be the same old thing
But babe I really like you
There’s nothing wrong with you oh no
I said baby there is nothing that is wrong with me
I’ve just got to have you for my sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with me
Can’t you see how groovy it could be
If you’d agree to be my sweet mystery
SWEET TRANSVESTITE
How d'you do I see you've met my faithful handyman
He's just a little brought down because when you knocked
He thought you were the candyman
Don't get strung out by the way I look
Don't judge a book by it's cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of the day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover
I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania
Let me show you around and maybe play you a sound
You look like you're both pretty groovy
Or if you want something visual
That's not too abysmal
We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie
I'm glad we caught you at home
Could we use your 'phone
We're both in a bit of a hurry
We'll just say where we are
And then go back to the car
We don't want to be any worry
Well you got caught with a flat
Well how about that
Well babies don't you panic
By the light of the night
It'll all seem all right
I'll get you a satanic mechanic
I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania
Why don't you stop for the night
And maybe a bite
I could show you my favourite obsession
I've been making a man
With blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tensions
I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania
I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania
So come up to the lab
And see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with anticipation
But maybe the rain is really to blame
So I'll remove the cause but not the symptom
TAKE IT EASY
Well I'm running down the road tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand take it easy
Well I'm standing on a corner in Wilmslow Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl my lord in a flat Bedford
Slowing down to take a look at me
Come on baby don't say maybe
I've got to know if your sweet love is going to save me
We may lose and we may win but we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbing in take it easy
Well I'm running down the road tryin' to loosen my load
I've got a world of troubles on my mind
Looking for a lover who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find Take it easy
Come on baby don’t say maybe
I've got to know if your sweet love is going to save me
Oh we've got it easy
We ought ta take it easy
TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT
All alone at the end of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking ‘bout a woman who might have loved me,
And I never knew
You know I’ve always been a dreamer spent my life running ‘round
And it’s so hard to change can’t seem to settle down
But the dreams I’ve seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same
So put me on a highway and show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all feel to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you’re looking for your freedom nobody seems to care
And you can’t find the door can’t find it anywhere
When there’s nothing to believe in
Still you’re coming back, you’re running back
You’re coming back for more
So put me on a highway and show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
TASTE AND TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
My mother told me when I was young
Some people try to con you son
You’ve got to separate the truth from the lie
Taste and try before you buy
The army say now sign on for five
The army give you a real man’s life
You know I don’t dig that army jive
Taste and try before you buy
My woman looks at me, my woman said
Go pack your things boy and get outta my bed
Five long years now you still ain’t do me right
Taste and try before you buy
This is my philosophy
It may not suit you but it sure suits me
You’ve got to live before you die
Taste and try before you buy
THE TAXMAN
The other day I had a little problem
I found another taxman at my door
Eh you know the kind of feeling this arouses
So I done what I've done many times before
I asked him very nicely if he'd like to step this way
And have a cup of coffee and a bun
Then I hit him with a shovel and I stuffed him in the cupboard
With the coal sacks and I turned around and sung
Oh what shall I do with the taxmen in the cupboard
Mother Hubbard had a cupboard it were bare
But I've got thirteen and another one just come
D'you think it's something that I should declare
I’m not raving, I’m just saving, on my income tax, I’m waiving
Regulations that would quickly strip me bare
So what shall I do with the taxmen in the cupboard
What shall I do with them there
The other day I went down to a post office
And I said I know it's really not the norm
But I've got a load of bodies I want shifting
I wonder if you’ve got the proper form
They said we're very sorry but we'll have to disappoint
We just can't undertake that kind of thing
I think they thought that I were barmy they said the salvation army
May be the people that you ought to ring
So what shall I do with the taxmen in the cupboard
I ask them but they only sit and stare
Now I've got thirty-two with another turning blue
Since I stuck a little poker through his hair
I’m not raving, I’m just saving, on my income tax, I’m waiving
Regulations that would quickly strip me bare
So what shall I do with the taxmen in the cupboard
What shall I do with them there
TEABAG IN MY COFFEE
Intro:
Darling, I’m 500 miles from home, I stopped over at this lonely motel and had me forty seven beers at the bar, and then, darling I staggered up to my lonely room and I yodelled all over the floor, and darling, as I looked down, my thoughts turned to you ....
You’re the teabag in my coffee, you’re the strychnine in my tea
You’re the water in my petrol, I’m so glad you picked on me
I love everything about you, from your head down to your toes
From the pimples on your legs dear, to the warts upon your nose
You’re the dog-end in my ashtray, I can say without regret
You’re the droppings in my bird cage, I wish you’d go and see a vet
You’re the fuse gone in my meter, you look just like a Whitehouse farce
You’re a very noisy eater, you’re a pain in the leg
You’re the abscess on my molars, guess you’ll always be a runt
When I see you in your rollers, can’t tell your backside from your front
You’re the gas bill every quarter, you’re inflation at it’s worst
I can say I love you dearly, like a boil that just won’t burst
Guess I’ll head for new horizons, guess I’ll walk right out the door
But I keep going round in circles, you nailed my left foot to the floor
You’re the nail stuck in my spare tyre, you put my head into a whirl
You’re the greenfly on my roses, how I wish you’d been a girl
TEAR THEM DOWN
Councillors, magistrates, men of renown
Who needs to live in a dirty old town
Yes come on tear it down
Who needs the trees and the flowers to grow
We can have a motorway with motorway dough
I know, I know, I know they’ve got to go
Tear them down mess them round
Bury them deep under the ground
And if you ever have a sleepless night
Just count out your money it’ll be all right
All right
Politicians, planners go look what you’ve done
Your madness is making a machine of everyone
But one day the machine might turn on
We’ll tear you down mess you round
Bury you deep under the ground
And we’ll dance on your graves ‘till the flowers return
And the trees tell us secrets that took ages to learn
We’ll tear you down mess you round
Bury you deep under the ground
And we’ll dance on your graves ‘till the flowers return
And the trees tell us secrets that took ages to learn
We’ll tear you down
TELL HER ABOUT IT
Listen boy I don't want to see you let a good thing slip away
You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made
She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
Listen boy I'm sure that you think you got it all under control
You don't want somebody telling you the way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know
Tell her about it tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
Tell her about it tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her let her know how much she means
Listen boy it's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself you've got to provide communication constantly
When you love someone you're always insecure
And there's only one good way to reassure
Tell her about it let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it every day before you leave
Pay her some attention give her something to believe
Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken for so long
And though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
Listen boy it's good information from a man who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul and she's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do
Tell her about it tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
Tell her about it tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her let her know how much she means
Tell her about it tell her how you feel right now
Just tell her about it the girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it before it gets too late
Tell her about it you know the girl don't want to wait
Tell her about it
TELL IT LIKE IT IS
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is to expensive
And I'm not your little boy
If you are serious don't play with my heart it makes me furious
But if you want me to love you then baby I will
Yeah you know I will
Tell it like it is don't be ashamed
Let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You might be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So leave me girl go and leave
Tell it like it is don't be ashamed
Let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me forget your foolish pride
Tell it like it is don't be ashamed
Let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me forget your foolish pride
TEQUILA SUNRISE
It's another tequila sunrise
Stirring slowly 'cross the sky
Said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Working on the dreams he'd planned to try
The days go by
Every night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out running round
She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from coming on
Been so long
Woh and it's a hollow feeling
When it comes down to dealing friends
It never ends
Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the fireworks never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise
This old world still looks the same
Another frame
TEXAS STRUT
Let me tell you about the Texas blues
I went down south to Dallas to hear those cowboys wail
Came across that Feelie Gibbons found out all that she is a trail
I just can't lose with the Texas beat
Said I just can't lose with that Texas blues the Texas blues
Found myself in double trouble when I saw that Texas flood
Stevie said that sky is crying silver Stetsons in his blood
I just can't lose with the Texas beat
Said I just can't lose with that Texas blues the Texas blues
I heard that Houston twister well he could run you off the tracks
When I faced that cold cold feeling you get the shivers down your back
I just can't lose with the Texas blues
Said I just can't lose with that Texas blues the Texas blues
Well I'm a going back to Dallas won't be waiting for no bus
Find it hard down to the sunset you won't see my feet for dust
I just can't lose with the Texas blues
Said I just can't lose with that Texas blues
Said I just can't lose with that Texas blues
Said I just can't lose with that Texas blues
Said I just can't lose with that Texas blues the Texas blues the Texas blues
Said I just can't lose with that Texas blues the Texas blues
THAT’S WHY I’M SO RICH
My manager he promised to make me a star
He wears a diamond ring, smokes a big cigar
I see him riding round town in a big black car
I said I need a lift are you going far
Then he tells me
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
That’s why I’m so rich and you’re so poor
He said I got you a tour of the USA
And two lovely ladies along the way
Before you know it you’ll soon be a household name
But when I ask how much they are willing to pay
All he tells me
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
That’s why I’m so rich and you’re so poor
Oh ho That’s why I’m so rich and you’re so poor
Now that I’m top of the charts and on T.V.
You might think I’m rich but pity me
When I ‘phone up to ask for my royalties
There is only a voice on the answering machine
I hear him tell me
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
That’s why I’m so rich and you’re so poor
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
All my life I give you nothing still you ask for more
That’s why I’m so rich and you’re so poor
Oh ho That’s why I’m so rich and you’re so poor
