Said and Done

Three at a time, three at a time
Troubles, they say
Come three at a time

Everyone knows
'bout the highs and the lows
So, look on the bright side
As the saying goes
It's not the end, my friend
When all is said and done

Two at a time
Two at a time
It happens to people
Two at a time

Everyone cries, ooooooo
When a love dies
Don't be disillusioned
Open up your eyes
Take it from me
You're not the only one
When all is said and done

Well, is it any wonder
You feel the way you do?
It's easy to go under
When you're feeling bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuue

One at a time
One at a time
Pick up the pieces
One at a time

That's the way now

Everyone knows
That's how it goes
Come rain or come sunshine
Any way the wind blows
It's not the end
It's only just begun
When all is said and done
When all is said and done
When all is said and
Done.

Sail Away

Cold stone finger bone
Scrape the sky
I'm in the middle of a city and I don't know why
Gonna sail away
You won't see me for the clouds
In my heels

The windows have curtains but your room is bare
I'll be on my way but I don't know where
Gonna sail away
You won't see me for the clouds
In my heels

I'm leaving today
Leaving right away
Leaving even you
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
Gonna sail away
You won't see me for the clouds
In my heels

The moment we shared
is all over now (all over now)
I'd like to thank you but I don't know how
Gonna sail away
You won't see me for the clouds
In my heels
Ooooooo
Ooooooo

Say Sorry Again

Two dodos stood back to back
Refusing to say a word
Having a lovers' quarrel
Over something truly absurd
"But you're the last of your species!"
The other animals cried
"Make up your differences, do
Forget your foolish pride!"

And say sorry again
Say sorry again
Never mind who's to blame
there's no sense in calling names
So say sorry again
Don't let a good love die
You can be combined, two hearts intertwined
If you say sorry again

But the dodos remained unmoved
And as the sun began to sink
She held her head up high
And he pretended to think
All the animals cried in dismay
Saying "What's the good of advice
to creatures such as dodos
who find stubbornness so nice?"

Say sorry again
say sorry again
Why don't you admit you were wrong
Oh ,why is your will so strong?
Just say sorry again
An apology isn't so bad
The whole human race will spit in your face
If you don't say sorry again!

believe me...

Well the proof of the animal's wisdom
is quite apparent today
How many dodos do you know?
They're not even put on display!
So say sorry again
Say sorry again
When the last bell is rung
Don't just stick out your tongue
Just say sorry again!

Shangri-la (Archaeology)

Did you ever get the feeling
That the truth is less revealing
Than a downright lie?
And did you think your head was hip
To certain things it's not equipped
To qualify?

All day long the sky is blue
And everyone says "How'dya do?"
In Shangri-la
Everyday's a perfect day
And you can go your own sweet way in
Shangri-la

In Shangri-la, in Shangri-la
You can be whoever you are
In Shangri-la

Investment with a good return
Provides the means through which we earn
Our daily bread
Insisting on an equal cut
Some people even bust a gut
To stay ahead

In Shangri-la

In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!)
In Shangri-la (in Shangri-la!)

If we don't know where to turn
With paradise for hire
On the back streets of desire
We all live and learn

And everyone's in love with you
In Shangri-la
Lovers dance and children sing

Short Blues

I woke up this mornin'.

Singing a Song is Easy

Singing a song is easy
Watchin' the world go by
If you were a song I'd sing you
But you're more than meets my eye
So lets sing a song together
Just like holding hands
Simple words and music
We can all understand

You can only love somebody
As much as you love yourself
So I'd like to wish you everything
That I would wish myself
Someone to care for you
Someone to fall in love
Someone to raise your voice to
Maybe someone up above
Someone to share your laughter
Someone to ease your pain
And if the song's worth singing
We'll sing it again and again

Singing a song is easy
When you're watchin the world go by
If you were a song I'd sing you
But you're more than meets my eye
So lets sing a song together
Just like holding hands
Simple words and music
We can all understand
Yes we can all understand

La la la la la la la...

Stamp your feet and clap your hands
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
Somewhere there's a promised land
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
Where we can do what we like
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
Where no one gets off their bike
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)

Freedom is the handle on the bucket of your soul
The image of illusion in the goldfish of your bowl
The shampoo of perfection in the bathroom of your dreams
Freedom is the universe and everything it seems
Oh yeah!

We all live until we die
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
There's no sense in wondering why
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
So pick up your heavy load
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
And keep on truckin' down the road
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)

The management accepts no responsibility
For any articles of clothing or accessory
Such as handbags or umbrellas
Or books on self defense
Or things left unattended in the Ladies' or the Gents'
Oh yeah!

We are in a funny mood
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
Let's do something really rude
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
We can't all be Wyatt Earp
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
So let's stick out our tongues and slpppphh-urp
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)

Freedom is the handle on the bucket of your soul
The backbone of ambition in the goldfish of your bowl
The pedestal of purpose in the bathroom of your dreams
Freedom is the universe and everything it seems
Oh yeah!

(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)
(WE ARE THE SLAVES OF FREEDOM)

Someday

Do you remember when we used to sit and talk? (yeah yeah!)
Sit and talk (yeah!)
Kiss and talk
And take a little walk (yeah yeah!)
With the moon and stars above
Shining down upon my love
Do you recall, babe?
We talked about someday

Someday
We're gonna go steady
Someday
We'll say "I do"
And someday
We'll raise a family
Someday when our hopes and dreams come true

Do you remember how we first said, "I love you"? (yeah yeah!)
I love you (yeah!)
I love you
Oh, yes, indeed, I do (yeah yeah!)
With the moon and stars above
Shining down upon my love
Do you recall, babe?
We talked about someday

Someday
We're gonna go steady
Someday
We'll say "I do"
And someday
We'll raise a family
Someday when our hopes and dreams come true
Someday when our hopes and dreams come true
Someday when our hopes and dreams come true

Something To Say

I don't know what anybody's saying anymore
Everybody's talking but I heard it all before
I seen it in the papers and I watched it on t.v.
Words are gonna beat the living daylights out of me

There's something to be said for having something to say
Each modest opinion and dogma has its day
Bitter, sweet, bad or good, overstated, understood
There's something to be said for having something to say

It's not often I get hung up with the origins of time
Behind each mystic mountain there's another one to climb
No one knows where it ends or where it all begins
But there's many a solution to wash away your sins

And there's something to be said for having something to say
Each modest opinion and dogma has its day
Bitter, sweet, bad or good, overstated, understood
There's something to be said for having something to say

It looks like it's all down to the survival of the strong
Nothing is all right and nothing is all wrong
Remember when your dreams go down the universal drain
The best things in life are the things you can't explain

And there's something to be said for having something to say
Each modest opinion and dogma has its day
Bitter, sweet, bad or good, overstated, understood
There's something to be said for having something to say
Yeah, there's something to be said for having something to say

Something to play
CONNECT FOUR

Song For Yvonne

Love can make a castle
From the sands of time
A brown paper parcel
Full of nursery rhymes
Existential knick-knack's
Sitting on a shelf
Talking to a mirror
Talking to himself

Lots of little footprints
Shaped like a silver spoon
Running in and out of rainbows
Splashing through the moon
Reflected in the meadow's early evening dew
Ah, but I'm in love with you

And then we open up our eyes
To see the clouds go rolling by
And then the sun comes shining through
Oh my love, how I love you

The stars are in the trees
To sing the birds to sleep
And asking all the rooftops
"Is there a chimney sweep?"
We can't see in the houses
If the chimney's blocked
Is she ironing trousers?
Is she darning socks?

We don't know if she's happy
We don't know if she's sad
Surely washing nappies can't be all that bad
Compared to what old age and loneliness can do
If someone's still in love with you

And then we open up our eyes
To see the clouds go rolling by
And then the sun comes shining through
Oh my love, how I love you
Oh my love, how I love you

Song In A French Accent

This song has been specially arranged for me for one guitar and one donkey.
This is the guitar: (strums) and this is the donkey:

Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Hee-haw hee-haw

We have no time for lover's games of hide-and-seek or cat-and-mouse
I come home tired, you call me names, you work all week at keeping house
I understand the drudgery of what you do, but don't you think
The office is the same for me?
You ask me to unblock the sink

Life is getting shorter
Nickel dime and quarter
Talk is getting cheaper
Love is getting deeper

Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Miterrand

I get to work under the sink I bang my head the spanner slips
I cut my hand and wish I had a drink but curse instead the water drips
I raise my voice you nag at me (giggles) the baby's toys are on the floor
You say be quiet I have no choice;
the slightest noise disturbs next door

Life is getting shorter
Nickel dime and quarter
Talk is getting cheaper
Love is getting deeper

Ah-haw hee-haw, ah-haw hee-haw,
Ah-haw hee-haw, ah-haw hee-haw,
Ah-haw hee-haw, ah-haw hee-haw,
San Tropez

The kettle boils, the baby cries, I pick him up his little teeth are coming through
I dry his eyes you break a cup and underneath the kitchen light
Your pretty face is close to tears and so my heart goes out to you
As we embrace, love reappears
To play its part

Life is getting shorter
Nickel dime and quarter
Talk is getting cheaper
Love is getting deeper

Now all join in and make complete asses of yourselves

Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw,
Hee-haw hee-haw

Spaghetti Western

He rode his horse across the badlands
He tipped his hat against the sun
He drank his whiskey from the bottle
He was the law and he wore a gun

He wore a gun
Yes he wore a gun
He wore a gun
Like a gunman should
Like a gunman wears a gun he wore a gun
And people stepped aside
Because he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good

He was no good
Because of bad luck
He never knew
A mother's love
He was like a wolf in sheep's clothing
Or an iron hand in a velvet glove

And he wore a gun
Yes he wore a gun
He wore a gun
Like a gunman should
Like a gunman wears a gun he wore a gun
And people stepped aside
Because he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good

His eyes were cru-el    (his eyes were cruel)
And his lips were mean    (and his lips were mean)
His nose was twisted    (his nose was twisted)
And he could waggle his ears    (he could waggle his ears)
And he behaved    (and he behaved)
extremely badly    (extremely badly)
When he had    (when he had)
a few beers

And he wore a gun
Yes he wore a gun
He wore a gun
Like a gunman should
Like a gunman wears a gun he wore a gun
And people stepped aside
Because he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good

He rode his horse across the badlands
And he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good
he was no good

Spontaneous

Good evening, ladies and gentleman, it's wonderful to be.
You know, not so long ago, and it's been very lucky for me.
Thank you.

The champagne was Canadian
The hostess sang a song
I contemplated suicide
Then you came along!

You're so spontaneous
You hit the spot
Nothing but everything
Is all you've got
You're so spontaneous
You top the bill
Your elegant savoir-fair
Gives me a thrill!

You're so spontaneous
Please don't ever change
You're so "if I ruled the world"
And "home on the range"
You're so spontaneous
In each and every way
So spontaneous
What more can I say?

For this is the moment
The moment is now
The moment is you
So come on, take a bow!

You're so spontaneous
You knock me flat
You pull those little white rabbits out
Of my top hat
You're so spontaneous
Abracadabra
Spontaneous
Well that's what you are!

For this is the moment
The moment is now
The moment is you
Come on, take your bow!
You're so spontaneous
It's wunderbar
Spontaneous
Spontaneous
Spontaneous
That's what you are!

Stealing Time

The sun is in the sky
Another day is born
The bird is on the wing
The snail is on the thorn
stealing time
stealing time
Stealing time
takes a lifetime

The sun is in the sky
So near and yet so far
Further down the road
The thief is in your car
stealing time
stealing time
Stealing time
takes a lifetime

Stealing time
Stealing time
Stealing time
takes a lifetime

The sun is in the sky
Another day is born
The bird is on the wing
The snail is on the thorn
stealing time
stealing time
Stealing time
takes a lifetime

Time enough for sorrow
Time enough for pleasure
Time enough to borrow
Time enough to treasure
Stealing time
Stealing time
Stealing time
takes a lifetime

Stealing time

Stoned On Rock

I'm so stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
I dig it with my body and my soul
I'm so stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
and roll

Well it's an even bet
That the sun will set
Before I get much older
Though life is hard to take
I won't quake or shake
I got the rock to make me bolder

I'm so stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
I dig it with my body and my soul
I'm so stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
and roll

I see the lightning flash
I hear the thunder crash
I feel my senses smash to pieces
And then I lose control
And I give my soul
to what the rock and roll releasays

I'm so stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
I dig it with my body and my soul
I'm so stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
So stoned on rock
and roll

Stoop Solo

Hi there
My name is Solo
Stoop Solo
I do amazing things
Right now I'd like to sing for you

Stormy days (stormy days)
Cloudy skies (cloudy skies)
Wind and Rain (wind and rain)
Got a watery eye (watery eye)
Yellow leaves (yellow leaves)
Fall from the trees (from the trees)
I kick my way (kick my way)
Through memories (shut your face)

Rain and snow let the four winds blow
On my collar there's a long blonde hair
Now I know that's all I've got to show
For the love we used to share

I remember back in June
Our love was like a fire
And the song in our hearts sounded like a choir
But I held onto you like a hand holds water
And now it's November and the days get shorter

Rain and snow let the four winds blow
On my collar there's a long blonde hair
Now I know that's all I've got to show
For the love we used to share

Rain and snow let the four winds blow
On my collar there's a long blonde hair
Now I know that's all I've got to show
For the love...
we used...
to share

Thank you.

Straight From My Heart (Stanshall/Innes)

One song to tell you
And one song to smell you
One song to touch you and tell you how much
(I feel!!!)
Twisted all up, I'm dying inside
Believe it
(Baby!!!)
You know I never lie

Straight from my heart
Sweet song of love, of love

Can you remember
The time that my member
-ship card for the Union
Was long overdue?
(No!!!)
I don't believe you remember my name
I was a fool then
But must I go through all this pain?
(Yes!!!)

Straight from my heart
Sweet song of love, of love
Straight from my heart
Sweet song of love, ooh oooh...

Straight from my heart
Sweet song of love
