1. Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, rolling into the night
People so busy make me feel dizzy, taxi lights shine so bright
But i don't need no friends
As long as i gaze on Waterloo Sunset, i am in paradise
Every day i look at the world from my window
The chilly-chilliest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine.
2. Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night
But i am so lazy, don't want to wander, i stay at home at night
But i don't feel afraid
As long as i gaze on Waterloo Sunset, i am in paradise
Every day i look at the world from my window
The chilly chilliest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine.
3. Millions of people swarming like flies round Waterloo underground
Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset, they are in paradise
Every day i look at the world from my window
The chilly chilliest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine.
Verse 1:
Try to see it my way.
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out, we can work it out
verse 2:
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight
We can work it out, we can work it out
CHORUS:
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
(cHORUS)
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
Why do you see it your way ?
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
Chorus:
We can work it out
We can work it out
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere / Bob Dylan
Clouds so swift, rain won't lift,
Gates won't close, the railing's froze.
Get your mind off winter time,
You ain't goin' nowhere.
Chorus
Oooo, Eeeee, Ride me high,
One of these days my man's gonna come.
oh Lord, we gonna fly,
Down in the easy chair.
I don't care how many letters they sent,
Morning came and morning went.
Pick up your money and pack your tent,
But we still ain't goin' nowhere. Chorus
Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots,
Tailgates and substitutes,
Strap yourself with the tree with roots,
You ain't goin' nowhere. Chorus
Ghengis Khan he could not keep
All his kings supplied with reap.
Climb that hill no matter how steep,
We still ain't goin' nowhere. Chorus
Is it a kind of dream? Floating out of the tide,
Following the river of death down stream; Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon. A strange glow in the sky.
And nobody seems to know where you go, and what does it mean?
0h, oh is it a dream?
Bright eyes burning like fire!
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Is it a kind of shadow, reaching into the night?
Wandering over the hills unseen or is it a dream?
Theres a high wind in the trees. A cold sound in the air.
And nobody ever knows when you go and where do you start
Oh, oh into the dark.
Bright eyes burning like fire!...
Bright eyes.
hello mary lou, goodbye heart
sweet mary lou, i'm so in love with you
i knew, mary lou, we'd never part
so hello mary lou, goodbye heart
passed me by one sunny day, flashed those big brown eyes my way
and oooh, i wanted you forevermore
now i'm not one who gets around, swear my feet's stuck to the ground
and though i never did need you before, i said,
(chorus)
i saw your lips, i heard your voice, believe me i just had no choice
wild horses couldn't make me stay away
i thought about a moonlit night, arms around you good and tight,
that's all i had to see for me to say, hey, hey,
(chorus)
so hello mary lou, goodbye heart
so hello mary lou, goodbye heart
yes hello mary lou, goodbye heart
ME AND BOBBY MCGEE / JANIS JOPLIN
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
took us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
and was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
with them windshield wispers slappin' time, and Bobby holdin' hand in mine
We sang out every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', it ain't would nothin' but ain't free
And feelin' good was easy, lord, when Bobby sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun Yeah
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all the kinds of weather, through everything we done Yeah
Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, lord, I let him slip away
lookin' for that home and I hope he'll find
We'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word .....................

Hey, Andy did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby. Are we losing touch?
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon.
If you believe there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool.
Moses went walking with the staff of wood. Yeah, y, y, y

I been lookin' for someone
Through the fire and the flame.
We're all lookin' for something
To ease the pain.
Now who can you turn to
When ist's all black and white
And the winners are losers,
You can see it every night.
CHORUS:
I need somebody, Somebody like you.
Everybody needs somebody.
I need somebody, Hey, what about you.
Everybody needs somebody.
When you're out on the front line
And you're watchin' them fall,
It doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for.
I thought I saw the madonna
When you walked in the room
And your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through,
CHORUS + solo
Another night, Another lesson learnt.
It's the distance that keeps us sane
When the silence leads to sorrow we do it all again, All again.
CHORUS...
Sympathy For the Devil / Rolling Stones
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for long,long years I've stolen many a man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moments of doubt and pain
I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate
Chorus
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
but what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was time for a change
I killed the Czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a gen'ral's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
Chorus
I watched with glee while your kings and queens,
fought for ten decades for the gods they made
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?", when after all it was you and me
So let me please introduce myself, I`m a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
but what's confusing you, is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is criminal, and all the sinners, Saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer, 'cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste Chorus
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Ev'rybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes.
Ev'rybody's in despair, ev'ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna jump for joy.
Come all without...
I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste, just ain't my cup of meat.
Ev'ryone's beneath the trees, feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
All the pigeons gonna rum to him.
Come all without...
Let me do what I wanna do, I can recite 'em all
Just tell me where it hurts and I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on ev'ryones toes.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna wanna doze.
Come all without...
I come from down the valley where Mister when you're young
They bring you up to do just like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of the valley down to where the fields were green.
Chorus:
We'd go down to the river and into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride.
Then I got Mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the isles no flowers no wedding dress
Chorus
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I act like I don't remember and Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brothers car
Her body tan and wet down by the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake and pull her close just to feel every breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse
that sends me down....
when you‘re gone / bryan adams
i‘ve been wandering around the house all night
wondering what the hell to do
i‘m trying to concentrate but all i can think of is you
well the phone don‘t ring cuz my friends ain‘t home
i‘m tired of being all alone
got the tv on cuz the radio‘s playing songs that remind me of you
refrain:
baby when you‘re gone - i realize i‘m in love
the days go on and on - and the nights just seem so long
even food don‘t taste that good - drink ain‘t doing what it should
things just feel so wrong - baby when you‘re gone
i‘ve been driving up and down these streets
trying to find somewhere to go
ya i‘m lookin’ for a familiar face but there‘s no one i know
this is torture - this is pain - it feels like i‘m gonna go insane
i hope you‘re coming back real soon - cuz i don‘t know what to do
refrain: baby, when you’re gone ……..
solo
refrain: baby, when you’re gone ……..
baby, when you’re gone ya baby, when you’re gone
Don't look back in Anger / Oasis
Slip inside the eye of your mind don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You say that you never been but all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away
So I start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fire place take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't never gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away but don't look back in anger I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go where nobody knows
if it's nigth or day
Please don't put your life in the hands of a rock 'n roll band
Who'll throw it out away
Gonna start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fire place take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't never gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away......
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger I heard you say
At least not today
He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere man, the world is at your command.
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere man can you see me at all?
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all 'till somebody else lends you a hand.
He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.

Don’t pay the ferryman / CHRIS DE BURGH
It was late at night on the open road
Speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
He is closer now, as the search is on
Reading from a map in the mind
Yes, there's that rugged hill and there's a boat on the river.
And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl.
There were voices in the night, (don't do it)
Voices out of sight, (don't do it)
"Too many men have failed before; whatever you do,
Refrain:
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
until he gets you to the other side"
aaahaah-ahaa, aaahaah-ahaa
In the rolling mist as he gets on board
Now there 'II be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
And the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled
And people calling out his name
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned on the water.
And then the ferryman said
" there is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now" (don't do it)
"You must pay me now" (don't do it)
And still that voice came from beyond: ..whatever you do,
Refrain:
Don't pay... the ferry-man!
MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER / ROLLING STONES
What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today," I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter Of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way Gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today," I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake And she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter Of a mother's little helper
And to help her on her way Gets her through her busy day
CHORUS
Doctor please Some more of these
Outside the door She took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy You can tranquilise your mind
So go running for the shelter Of a mother's little helper
And for to help you through the night Help to minimise your plight
CHORUS
Doctor please Some more of these
Outside the door She took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today," I hear every mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those You will get an overdose
No more running to the shelter Of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way Through your busy dying day HEY!
Who the fuck is Alice / Smokie
Sally called, when she got the world,
she sayed, I suposed she heard - about Alice.
But I rushed to the window, I looked outside,
I could hardly believe my eyes,
so a big limousine moved on, into Alice is drived.
Ref: Oh I don‘t know why she‘s leavin‘ , the way she‘s gone go.
I guess she‘s got a reasens but I just don‘t wanna know,
cause for twenty-four years I‘ve been livin‘ next door to Alice -
- Alice, who the fuck is Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to tell her how I feelin may begin a second glance.
Now I got to get used to knock livin next door to Alice -
- Alice, who the fuck is Alice.
Grought together two kids in the park,
called Derell with cold steels in the barg - me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door, without heat helled hy,
and just for a moment, I call her why, as a big limousine rolled slowly -
about Alice is drive.
Refrain.............
Sally called back, as how I felled.
She said I know how to help - over Alice.
She said now Alice is gone, but I‘m still here,
now I‘ve been waitin for twenty-four years,
that a big limousine disabered.
Ref: [: Now I got to get used to knock livin next door to Alice :]
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents,
no phone, no pool, no pets, I ain´t got no cigarettes,
I bet two hours of pushin´ broom buys a eight by twelve four-bed room
I´m a man of means by no means - King of the Road!
Third boxcar, midnight train, destination Banger, Maine.
Old worn-out suit and shoes, I don´t pay no Union dues.
I smoke old stogies I have found, short, but not to beg around.
I´m a man of means by no means - King of the Road!
I know every engineer on every train,
all of the children and all of their names
And every hand-out in every town
And every lock that ain´t locked when no-one´s around, I sing:
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents,
no phone, no pool, no pets, I ain´t got no cigarettes,
I bet two hours of pushin´ broom buys a eight by twelve four-bed room
I´m a man of means by no means - King of the Road!
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,
her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win
Ah ...
She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god.
I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies,
so eager was my passion to devot this waste of life.
Ah ...
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,
so easy to begin and yet impossible to end.
For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.
Ah ...
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side."
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life.
There is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconceptions.
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away.
Ah ...
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone.
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day.
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise.
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me.
Ah ...
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take the fast` train.
Lonely days are gone. I'm a goin' home,
My baby just wrote me a letter.
I don't care how much money I gotta spend,
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone. I'm agoing' home
My baby just wrote me a letter.
Well she wrote me a letter said she couldn't live without me no more.
Listen mister can't you see I got to get back
to my baby once more. Anyway.
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take the fast` train.

Ref.: No woman, no cry No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry No woman, no cry
Say, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
2. Good friends we have, good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this bright future you can forget your past
So dry your tears I say, and
Ref.: No woman, no cry No woman, no cry
Eeeh, little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
3. Say, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As it was love would burning thru the night
4. Then we would cook corn-meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on thru
But while I'm gone
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

No milk today / Herman's Hermits
No milk today, my love is gone away.
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn.
No milk today, it seems a common sight,
But people passing by. Don't know the reason why.
How could they know just what this message means,
The end of all my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
How could they know, a palace there had been,
behind the door where my love reigned as queen.
No milk today, it wasn't always so,
The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down.
No milk today, it wasn't always so,
The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance.
How could they know just what this message means,
The end of all my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
How could they know a palace there had been,
behind the door where my love reigned as queen.
No milk today, my love is gone away.
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn.
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down.
Twisting the night away / Rod Stewart
Let me tell ya about the place Somewhere up New York ways
where the people are so gay Twisting the night away
Here they have a lot of fun Putting trouble on the run
Man there ainít nothing like Twisting the night away
chorus
Twisting the night Twisting the night Everybody’s doing great
Twisting the night Twisting the night Twisting the night away
Here’s a fella in blue jeans He’s dancing with an older queen
Chick’s dolled up in diamond ring Twisting the night away
Man you gotta see her go Twisting to the rockíníroll
Man, there ain’t nothing like Twisting the night away
(chorus)
Here’s a man in evening cloth How he got here I don’t know
Man you gotta see him go Twisting the night away
He’s dancing with a chick in slacks This chick’s moving up and back
Man, there ain’t nothing like Twisting the night
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life.
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch, You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch, You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
One - two -three o´clock, four o´clock: rock!
Five - six - seven o´clock, eight o´clock: rock!
Nine - ten - eleven o´clock, twelve o´clock: rock!
We´re gonna rock around the clock tonight.
Put your glad rags on and join me, Hon,
we´ll have some fun when the clock strikes on.
We´re gonna rock around the clock tonight,
we´re gonna rock, rock, rock `til broad daylight
we´re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight!
When the clock strikes two and three and four,
if the band slows down we´ll yell for more

Verse 1:
Pretty woman walking down the street
Pretty woman the kind I'd like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you (Mercy!)
Verse 2:
Pretty woman won't you pardon me
Pretty woman I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me (Rrrrowrr...)
Bridge:
Pretty woman stop a while
Pretty woman talk a while
Pretty woman give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman look my way
Pretty woman say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you I'll treat you right
Come with me baby Be mine tonight
Verse 3:
Pretty woman don't walk on by
Pretty woman don't make me cry
Pretty woman Don't walk away, hey
OK... if that's the way it must be, OK
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see
…………………………..
Is she walking back to me
Yes, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman
I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment‘s gone.
All my dreams, pass before my eyes in curiosity.
Ref: Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea.
All we do, crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see.
Ref: Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.
Now, don‘t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away, with all your money won‘t another minute buy.
Ref: Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.
On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
my head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
there she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way
there were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California such a lovely place such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California any time of year you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted she's got the Mercedes Benz
she's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends
how they dance in the courtyard sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember some dance to forget
so I called up the Captain Please bring me my wine
he said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California such a lovely Place such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California what a nice surprise bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling depict champaign on ice and
she said we are all just prisoners here Of our own device
and in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast
last thing I remember I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman we are programed to recieve
you can check out any time you like But you can never leave
Welcome to the Hotel California such a lovely Place such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California what a nice surprise bring your alibies
Well, I'm running down the road try'n to loosen my load,
I've got seven women on my mind,
four that wanna own me, two that wanna 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.
Light-en up while you still can,
don't even try to understand,
just find a place to make your stand and take it easy - -
Well, I'm standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see,
it's a girl, my Lord in a flat bed Ford
slowin' down to take a look at me.
Come on Baby, don't say maybe,
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
We may lose and we may win,
though we will never be here again,
so open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy.
Well I'm running down the road try'n to loos-en my load,
got a world of trouble on my mind,
lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover,
she's so hard to find.
Take it easy, take it easy,
don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
Come on Baby, don't say maybe,
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
doo da da doo da da …………
Oh, we got it easy - we ought to take it easy.
Homeward bound / Simon&Garfunkel
I´m sittin´in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination. Mm-
On a tour of one night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
and ev´ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one man band.
Homeward Bound, I wish I was, Homeward Bound.
Home where my thought´s escaping, Home where my music´s playing
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.
Every day´s and endless stream of cigarettes and magazines. Mm--
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
and ev´ry strangers face I see reminds me that I long to be.
Homeward Bound, I wish I was, Homeward Bound.
Home where my thought´s escaping, Home where my music´s playing
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.
Tonight I´ll sing my songs again, I´ll play the game and pretend. Mm-
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Homeward Bound, I wish I was, Homeward Bound.
Home where my thought´s escaping, Home where my music´s playing
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.
silently for me.
I saw her standing there / Beatles
Well she was just seventeen, you know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way bejond compare,
So how could I dance with another, uuhh
when I saw her standing there.
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see,
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another, uhh,
when I saw her standing there.
Well my heart went zoom when I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...
Oh we danced through the night, and we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another, uhh
since I saw her standing there.
