Pass It Around
Aah, yeah,
Well do you know how it feels,
To be walkin' around with your run down heels,
And do you know just how it looks,
To be left outside with your college books,
And the great thing about being you,
Is you can do whatever you wanna do.
So if you turn on to something good,
And by the way you're going God knows you should,
If you turn on to something good,
If you turn on to something good,
Pass it around,
Don't keep it to yourself, baby.
Aah,
Well do you know what it's like,
To be locked inside nearly every night,
And do you know how people talk,
When you ain't got a car so you walk walk walk,
And the great thing about being you,
Is you're free to do what you wanna do.
Aah, yeah,
So if you turn on to something good,
And by the way you're going God knows you should,
If you turn on to something good,
If you turn on to something good,
Pass it around, yeah.
Don't keep it to yourself 'cos I ain't got nothin' else,
Don't keep it to yourself 'cos I need your help.
Oh, aah,
So if you turn on to something good,
And by the way you're going God knows you should,
If you turn on to something good,
If you turn on to something good,
Pass it around,
I need your help, baby.
Well, yeah,
So if you turn on to something good,
And by the way you're going God knows you should,
If you turn on to something good,
If you turn on to something good,
Pass it around...
Daydreamin'
Daydreamin' is an occupation I know,
'Cos I got nothin else to do,
Daydreamin' is an occupation I know,
I sit alone and think of you.
And I don't believe in make believe,
Don't deceive myself,
All that I have left of you,
Is up here on the shelf.
Stargazin' is an occupation I know,
I watch them flashing through the sky,
I see your face with every twinkle of the night,
Can't stop myself from asking why.
And I don't believe in make believe,
Don't deceive myself,
All that I have left of you,
Is up here on the shelf.
And I don't believe in make believe,
Don't deceive myself,
All that I have left of you,
Is up here on the shelf.
And I don't believe in make believe,
Don't deceive myself,
All that I have left of you,
Is up here on the shelf.
And I don't believe in make believe,
Don't deceive myself.

He doesn't do the things he should,
No wonder he has gone away,
All that's left for me to say is.

My Woman
When I'm with my woman I'm content,
The peace and the love,
That she gives me is Heaven sent,
Just to be beside her is all I need,
I feel so warm just to touch her, I do indeed,
And oh how I love her,
Oh how I do.
I can think of nothing I'd rather do,
To spend all my life with my woman,
You know it's true,
And oh how I love her,
Oh how I do.
To spend a day without her can worry me,
I think about her and want her constantly,
(Oh how I love her),
(Oh how I do).
When I'm with my woman I'm content,
The peace and the love,
That she gives me is Heaven sent.

To make love to you,
If you want me to,

Uh baby, I want you,
But my most important member,
Won't do what I want him to.

But if I could get hold of him,
I would surely tell him that he was to blame,
Oh my head's in an awful spin.

I Do Declare
I started walkin' Sunday and by Monday I was headin' out along that freeway line,
Round about a quarter to nine,
I saw a Caddy headin' north and I was gettin' tired of walkin' so I pulled him over to the side,
Hey man can you tell me where I can find,
Just a little peace of mind,
I'm gettin' tired of city livin' and the orders I've been given and the way I see it is I could be runnin' out of time, he said, man,
I've got just the place,
Where you and freedom come face to face,
I know just how you feel, this place is unreal,
You won't believe it when you see it, man, it's for out of space.
I do declare I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you where,
Where the people live without it,
Don't concern themselves about it,
'Cos they know they've got a reason,
And they ain't about to leave it,
I do declare I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you where,
Where the honeysuckle's climbin',
And there ain't no sense of timin',
And you'll never need remindin',
Why you left and why you came out here.
Clare it was just an hour's drive away,
Now listen close to everything I say,
We passed through the city limits,
And clare what lay within it,
Was enough to blow your mind away,
So come on and clare get the hell out of there,
They'll shut you up and make you tear out your hait,
So don't you tell me maybe 'cos you're tryin' to be a lady,
They've got everything we ever dreamed, we'd ever want to share.
I do declare I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you where,
Where the people live without it,
Don't concern themselves about it,
'Cos they know they've got a reason,
And they ain't about to leave it,
I do declare I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you where,
Where the honeysuckle's climbin',
And there ain't no sense of timin',
And you'll never need remindin',
Why you left and why you came out here.
I do declare I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you there,
Where I wanna love you,
Where I wanna make you,
Where I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you there,
Where I wanna love you,
Where I wanna make you,
Where I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you there,
I do declare I wanna take you there...
Don't Turn Out Your Light
Very nearly caught me out that time,
But you let me win that's a memory of mine,
Time caught up with you too soon,
And I cried enough tears to put oceans on the Moon.
Don't turn out your light,
Don't turn out your light,
Don't turn out the light that I see shining from you to me, it's so real.
It's been four years since you've been gone,
But you touch me in the night and in me you live on.
Don't turn out your light,
Don't turn out your light,
Don't turn out the light that I see shining from you to me, it's so real.
Granddad's son you're on my mind,
You're everywhere,
Didn't know I'd miss you so,
Till you weren't there.
Don't turn out your light,
Don't turn out your light,
Don't turn out the light that I see shining from you to me, tt's so real.
Times we shared together seem few,
And oh, what I'd give for more time with you.
Will You Love Me
When my hair is turning grey,
And my mind has gone astray,
Will you think about today,
And will you love me,
When I'm tired of being told,
That I am looking old,
Will my feelings all turn cold,
Or will you love me.
Will you love me, love me, hold me, love me,
Will you love me when I get old,
Will you love me.
When I'm feeling full of grief,
'Cos I'm losing all my teeth,
And there's nothing underneath,
Will you love me,
When my days are getting few,
We can't do things that we now do,
No more prize that you once knew,
Will you love me.
Will you love me, love me, hold me, love me,
Will you love me when I get old,
Will you love me.
Will you love me, love me, hold me, love me,
Will you love me when I get old,
Will you love me.
And when I'm dead and gone,
If you're still living on,
Will you think about this song,
And will you love me.
Will you love me, love me, hold me, love me,
Will you love me, love me, hold me, love me,
Will you love me when I get old,
Will you love me.
A Day At The Mother-In-Law's
Mother dear, mother dear, mother dear,
The sky is getting cloudy,
And it looks a lot,
Like it might start to rain,
So pick up your bag and your plastic mac,
While I phone your mother again,
To tell her we'll still come over,
Mother dear, it's nice to hear from you again,
Mother dear, don't speak now,
We'll be over as soon as we can.
Heading out the front door,
Say good morning to the neighbours passing by,
Then it caught my eye,
The bus we needed,
The bus too that takes us right outside,
Mother dear, it's nice to see you smiling face again once more,
Mother dear the time has flown,
And I'm afraid we'll have to go.
Waving from the window see that lonely look,
Glistening in her eye,
As we had back home she is left alone,
Till next week at the same time,
Until the goodbye farther.
Goodbye mother dear, goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye mother dear, goodbye, goodbye.
The Coldest Night
Well the trees were shaking in the terrible wind,
And my face would have cracked if I'd tried to grin,
It was the coldest night,
I've ever spent outside,
And the frost was biting like a hungry hound,
And my feet were so numb I couldn't feel the ground,
It was the coldest night,
I've ever spent outside.
And I freeze,
You don't know what it's like to be left all alone in the cold,
On my knees,
I'd go down on my knees for a moment or two back at home.
Still I walked on and on and on,
Not really going any place just trying to keep me warm,
It was the coldest night,
I've ever spent outside,
It near drove me insane as the rain tapped my brain,
Then fell to the floor and ran down the drain,
It was the coldest night,
I've ever spent ouside.
And I freeze,
You don't know what it's like to be left all alone in the cold,
On my knees,
I'd go down on my knees for a moment or two back at home.
Well if I ain't dead well this sure feels like hell,
And after all how can you tell,
Tt was the coldest night,
I've ever spent outside,
It was hard to believe when I woke up in a sweat,
That I was only dreaming of that cruel cold and wet,
It was the coldest night,
I've ever spent outside.
And I freeze,
You don't know what it's like to be left all alone in the cold,
On my knees,
I'd go down on my knees for a moment or two back at home,
In my bed rest my head where I'm cosy and warm.
I've been so cold, baby...
Shy Guy
When you look my way,
Girl I'd like to say,
That I've found somebody to love,
But how can I tell you that I do (you know it's true).
Nearly all the time,
Girl you're on my mine,
And I can't stop thinking of you,
I wish there was something I could do (what can I do).
You're breaking me up, you're bringing me down,
Sometimes I see no sense in hanging around.
Though it should be easy just to talk to you,
And I know there's nothin' to lose,
But you're somethin' special in my eyes (in my eyes).
You're breaking me up, you're bringing me down,
Sometimes I see no sense in hanging around.
You're breaking me up, you're bringing me down,
Sometimes I see no sense in hanging around.
Like I said before, you know I love you more,
Every time I see your face,
Better take my chance, before it's too late (it's too late).
You're breaking me up, you're bringing me down,
Sometimes I see no sense in hanging around,
You're breaking me up, you're bringing me down,
Sometimes I see no sense in hanging around.
