Have You Seen My Baby?
(Randy Newman)
Have you seen my baby
On the avenue?
You know she’s driving me crazy
With the funny things she do
I seen her with the milkman
Ridin’ down the street
When you’re through with my baby, milkman
Send her home to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it’s been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I seen her with the gipsies
Dancin’ in the wood
She’s always been unfaithful to me
She ain’t never been no good
I say, “Please don’t talk to strangers, baby”
But she always do
She say, “I’ll talk to strangers if I want to
‘Cause I’m a stranger, too”
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it’s been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
The Puppet
(Echo & The Bunnymen)
I’ll practice my fall
For practice makes perfect
Chained to the wall
For maximum hold
The window’s too far
Too far from my legs
Open the door and let out the cold
You knew about this
With your head in your hands
All along
I was the puppet
I was the puppet
Trampolines broken
Ceiling has come down
The ache in my back tells me
Something’s gone wrong
Rocking horse rocks
As the wallpaper peels
Curtain would like to know
What he has done
You knew about this
With your head in your hands
All along
I was the puppet
I was the puppet
We’re the salt of the earth
(I’ll practice my fall for practice makes erfect) And we know what to say
(Chained to the wall for maximum hold)
We’re the salt of the earth
(The window’s too far too far from my legs)
And we know…
Much Too Much
(The Who)
Much too much to bear
Your love is hard and fast
Your love will always last
If its you I need
I’ve got to pay the levy
Got to pay
‘Cause your loves too heavy on me
And its much too much to bear
If I ever leave you darlin’
I hope you see
That I really love you
But your loves too heavy on me
And its much too much to bear
When I make love to you
Do all the things you want me to do
You never think of me
Always cry a bevy
Bevy of tears
‘Cause your loves too heavy on me
And its much too much to bear
There was a time I could give all I had to you
But my enthusiasm waned and I can’t bear the pain
Of doing what I don’t want to do
Much too much to bear
Your love is hard and fast
Your love will always last
If its you I need
I’ve got to pay the levy
Got to pay
‘Cause your loves too heavy on me
And its much too much to bear
I Laugh In Your Face
(Bee Gees)
The circus is coming to see you.
The elephant smiles.
Everybody can hear you say that’s out of style.
My brother is friendly for reasons, if I am the same.
Just for four hundred seasons we all live in rain.
So I laugh in your face.
Your only one race.
Yes I laugh in your face and I’m right.
You lie just like the rest.
But there’s nobody best.
So I laugh in your face and I’m right.
I’ll pull out your plug so your small.
You’ll slide down the drain.
On the steps of St. Peter’s you all look the same.
So I laugh in your face.
Your only one race.
Yes I laugh in your face and I’m right.
You lie just like the rest.
But there’s nobody best.
So I laugh in your face and I’m right.
The circus is coming to see you.
The elephant smiles.
Everybody can hear you say that’s out of style.
So I laugh in your face.
You’re only one race.
Yes I laugh in your face and I’m right.
You lie just like the rest.
But there’s nobody best.
So I laugh in your face and I’m right.
Let Me Dream If I Want To
Watch the door
Deep surprise, it’s your vision
My breath and rhythm
Sink a hollow, slash the core
Oh, but who’s that calling my name?
Over and over and over again
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream
Put a lock on the door
And he’s calling card
He’s a stranger
Don’t let silly ideas
Catch you on the hook in a tangle
Oh, but who’s that calling my name?
Over and over and over again
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream
Stream out the gold to the fish in the pond
They are grateful
Go, kick and spit diamonds for free
But be graceful
Oh, who’s that calling my name?
Over and over and over again
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream
Watch the door
Deep surprise, it’s a vision
I breath and rhythm
Sink, sink, sink the hollow
Oh, but who’s that calling my name?
Over and over and over again
I said, let me dream if I want to
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream if I want to
Let me dream
Catch The Wind
(Donovan Leitch)
In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while
Behind your smile
And everywhere I’d look, your eyes I’d find
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing
T’would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy
Diddy diddy diddy dee dee dee
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
For standin’ in your heart
Is where I want to be
And long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Guiding Light
(Television)
Do I, do I?
Belong to the night?
Only, only
Only tonight
All the ladies
Stay inside
Time may freeze
A world could cry
All this night running loud
I hear the whispers, and I hear the shouts
And though they never cry for help
Tell me who sends these
Infamous gifts
To make such a promise
And make such a slip
Oh no
Can’t pull a trick
Never the rose
Without the prick
Oh, but tell me how do I say?
I woke up and it’s yesterday
Do I again face this night?
Guiding light, guiding light
Guiding through these nights
Darling, darling
Do we part like the seas?
The roaring shells
The drifting of…
Ride On Baby
(Rolling Stones)
A smile on your face
But not in your eyes
You’re looking through me
You don’t feel it inside
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
I could pick your face out in an FBI file
You may look pretty but I can’t say the same for your mind
Ah ah ah
You walk up to me
And try to look shy
The red round your eyes
Says that you ain’t a child
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Well I’ve seen your face in a trashy magazine
You know where you?re going but I don’t like the places
You’ve been
Ah ah ah
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
I can pick your face out from the front or behind
You may look pretty but I can’t say the same for your mind
Ah ah ah
Laugh it a bit
Give it a try
If I’m not impressed
You can still cry
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
By the time your thirty gonna look sixty-five
You won’t look pretty and your friends will have kissed you
Goodbye
Ride on, baby
Ride on, baby…
Choking Tara
(Robert Pollard)
Days into weeks, she rattled my mind
We stayed out all week and got happy this time
She fills empty space, I kinda need it that way
Crybaby says bye to me
Can’t imagine that all our troubles will go away
But I could catch her and break the falls
I could snatch her with beaks and claws
Today when every “fake it” decides to make it
They just can’t take it away
Shove it, ’cause I’ll just stay
Like an ugly unwanted stray
Don’t care what you say
Nighttime
(Alex Chilton)
At nighttime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
They’re looking at me, all the people to see.
And when I set my eyes on you
You look like a kitty
And when you’re in the moon
Oh you look so pretty
Caught a glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
Glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
I’m walking down the freezing street
Scarf goes out behind
You said, “Get them away”
Please don’t say a word
“Get me out of here
Get me out of here
I hate it here
Get me out of here”
At nighttime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
Glanced in your eyes and fell through the skies
Dance in your eyes and fell through the skies
Out Of The Blue
(Roxy Music)
All your cares
Now they seem
Oh, so far away
All your fears
I fear I once shared
Now I know
There’s a future
For all of us
Not so long ago
I was so scared
You seemed so sad
I could see
Through your twisted smile
So unsure
Always confused
Pale blue eyes
Gazing down
From your ivory tower
Through the haze
All broken and bruised
Then out of the blue
Love came rushing in
Out of the sky
Came the sun
Out of left field
Came a lucky day
Out of the blue
No more pain
I don’t mind
This it’s only
A passing craze
Throwaway lines
Often ring true
If I were you
I would stay
For a little while
If you were me
Would you walk out
In style?
