You Told Me Lyrics

You told me you'd always stay, you told me
You told me you'd never stray, you told me
All these things you said you said sincerely
Still I am leaving you in spite of what you told me

I've heard things that did not match what you told me
And of your love that would not last that you told me
Forewarned is forearmed, it hurts, I'm leaving
I may be wrong I can't love what I'm just hearing

Times have made me shy
Of all the things you're saying
Time have made me shy
Of girls and all the games they are playing... ah

Someday I may see the truth in what you told me
I may find I left too soon and that you told me
Only things that you were honestly feeling
I must have more to love than what you told me

Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me

I'll Spend My Life With You Lyrics

People come and people go
Movin' fast and movin' slow
I'm in a crowd, yet I'm all alone
The road is long, the road is rough
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna turn around and head for home

And I hope you're there
And you still care
And if you do
I'll spend my life with you

I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday
I played a game that couldn't last
And now some memories from the past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind
And if you want me to
I'll spend my life with you

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind
And if you want me to
I'll spend my life with you

Forget That Girl Lyrics

Forget that girl
She'll only make you sad someday
Forget that girl
She'll never make you happy
Stay away from her, my friend
Stay away from her

Forget that girl
She'll only bring you down again
Forget that girl
She'll only make you lonely
Stay away from her, my friend
Stay away from her

There was a time when she could really love you
When she was thinking only of you
But now she's put herself above you
And there's nothing you can do

Forget that girl
Even though you find it's hard
Forget that girl
Even though you love her
She's in love with him, my friend
She's in love with him
Oh yeah, she's in love with him...

Forget that girl...
Forget that girl...
Forget that girl...
Forget that girl...
Forget that girl...
Forget that girl...

You Just May Be The One Lyrics

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun
Someone to understand them
And you just may be the one

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take for granted
All the pleasures and the fun
Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one

I saw when you walked by
The love light in your eyes
And I knew I must try
To win you more than as a friend
I'm starting near the end
And here I go again

All men must have someone, have someone
Who would never take advantage
Of a love bright as the sun
Someone to stand beside them
And you just may be the one
Someone to understand them
And you just may be the one

Shades Of Gray Lyrics

When the world and I were young
Just yesterday
Live was such a simple game
A child could play
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
Easy then to tell weak from strong
When a man should stand and fight
Or just go along

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of grey

I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate
The foolish from the wise

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of grey

It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of grey
Only shades of grey

I Can't Get Her Off My Mind Lyrics

I've been standing on the corner all day
Tryin' to think of little things to say
'Cause she walks by, everyday about this time
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Well, I only met her 'bout a week ago
But the way she smiles lets me know
That she could see, that maybe we were two of a kind
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Oh, she's so pretty
I couldn't believe she'd ever look my way
But the way I'm feelin', I'm gonna be stealin'
That little girl's heart today

Well, I'm so happy I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walkin' down the street, with her little hand in mine
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

Oh, she's so pretty
I couldn't believe she'd ever look my way
But the way I'm feelin', I'm gonna be stealin'
That little girl's heart today

Well, I'm so happy I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why
I'm walkin' down the street, with her little hand in mine
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind

For Pete's Sake Lyrics

Love is understanding
Don't you know that this is true?
Love is understanding
It's in everything we do

In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine

We were born to love one another
This is something we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're going to be
And all we have to be
Is free

In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine

We were born to love one another
This is something we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're going to be
And all we have to be
Is free

Love is understanding
We gotta be free
Love is understanding
We gotta be free
In this generation
Love is understanding
We gotta be free...

Mr. Webster Lyrics

Everyone in town knew Mr. Webster
He worked at the bank for forty years
And each week Mr. Frisbee made his check out
For sixty-eight dollars clear
And through the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies
Each time Frisbee promised him a raise

The gave a retirement party for Mr. Webster
Everyone from the bank was there
They had a cake and flowers ordered special
And Frisbee had a speech prepared
And a little white box that held a watch with this inscription
"To Mr. Webster, with regards"

Then came a telegram from Mr. Webster
Said "Sorry, stop, cannot attend
I've flown away and taken all your money
Wish you were here to help me spend"
And one by one, all the people left the party
And Mr. Frisbee locked the door

Sunny Girlfriend Lyrics

She owns and operates her own Sunshine Factory
Of painting smiles on dolls and then on me
She's my sunny girlfriend
And personality

Well she's got a book that tells about everybody's past
And she can make you slow while making your mind move fast
She's my sunny girlfriend
And she is never last

While I am sleeping
Then she comes creeping
Into my thoughts at night
Gazing down through eyes as bright as wonder

She can send you on your way to everywhere
She's only started after you think that she is there
Well she's my sunny girlfriend
And she just doesn't care
Yes she's my sunny girlfriend
She doesn't really care

Zilch Lyrics

Peter:
Zilch
Mr. Dobalena, Mr. Bob Dobalena
Mr. Dobalena, Mr. Bob Dobalena
Mr. Dobalena, Mr. Bob Dobalena
Mr. Dobalena, Mr. Bob Dobalena (repeat)

Davy:

China Clipper calling Alameda
China Clipper calling Alameda
China Clipper calling Alameda
China Clipper calling Alameda (repeat)

Micky:

Never mind the furthermore, the plea is self defense
Never mind the furthermore, the plea is self defense
Never mind the furthermore, the plea is self defense
Never mind the furthermore, the plea is self defense (repeat)

It is of my opinion that the people are intending
It is of my opinion that the people are intending
It is of my opinion that the people are intending
It is of my opinion that the people are intending (repeat)

No Time Lyrics

Hober reeber sabasoben
Hobaseeba snick
Seeberraber hobosoben
What did you expect?

No time, no time for you
I got no time, baby
Got lots of better things to do

Runnin' from the risin' heat to find a place to hide
The grass is always greener growin' on the other side

No time, got no time for you
I got no time, baby
Got lots of better things to do

No time, no time for you
I got no time, baby
Got lots of better things to do

No time, no time for you
I got no time, baby
Got lots of better things to do

Try to tell the world somehow of how I feel
Tell me what you said again, I can't believe it's real

No time, I got no time for you
I got no time, baby
Got lots of better things to do

Andy you're a dandy, you don't seem to make no sense
Never mind the furthermore the plea is self-defence

No time, I got no time for you
I got no time, baby
Got lots of better things to do

I got no time...

Early Morning Blues And Greens Lyrics

A distant night bird mocks the sun
I wake as I have always done
To freshly scented sycamore
And cold bare feet on hardwood floor

My steaming coffee warms my face
I'm disappointed in the taste
But there's a peace the early brings
The morning world of growing things

I feel the moments hurry on
It was today, it's died away
And now it is forever gone

And I will drink my coffee slow
And I will watch my shadow grow
And disappear in firelight
And sleep alone again tonight

---

Randy Scouse Git Lyrics

She's a wonderful lady and she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party, and the room is in a mess

The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair
There's talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?

Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats are naugh-ga-hyde
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
The being known as Wonder Girl is speaking, I believe
It's not easy tryin' to tell her that I shortly have to leave

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?

She's a wonderful lady / Why don't you be like me?
And she's mine all mine / Why don't you stop and see?
And there doesn't seem a way / Why don't you hate who I hate
That she won't come and lose my mind / Kill who I kill to be free

It's too easy humming songs / Why don't you cut your hair?
To a girl in yellow dress / Why don't you live up there?
It's been a long time since the party / Why don't you do what I do
And the room is in a mess / See what I feel when I care?

All Of Your Toys [prev. unissued alternate mix] Lyrics

Once upon a once in awhile
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys
Can't you see I don't wanna play?
I don't mean it
Can't you say you want me to stay?
I'll believe it
Just like all of your toys

When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl, will you be happy
With nothing but tears?
With nothing but tears?

Once upon a once in awhile
It's hard to remember to smile
Just like all of your toys
Don't you ever feel kinda sick
'Cause you're lonely?
Thinkin' 'bout the love that we had
Are you lonely?
Just like all of your toys

When all of your play things
Someday disappear
Girl, will you be happy
With nothing but tears?
With nothing but tears?

Just like all of your toys
I don't wanna be
Just like all of your toys
I don't need to be
Just like all of your
Just like all of toys
I should have known I'd be alone
No, no, no I don't need it
Ah, but you had me believin'
Just like all of your toys...

The Girl I Knew Somewhere [prev. unissued alternate version] Lyrics

You tell me that you've never been this way before
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere
You're standing in the places and you're
staring down through faces, that bring to mind traces
of a girl, a girl that I knew somewhere

I just can't put my finger on what it is
that says to me "Watch out! Don't believe her"
I can't give any reasons girl
my thoughts are bound down in a whirl
I just can't think who in the world was that girl
I know I met her somewhere

Someway, somehow this same thing was done
Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong

So, goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again
My fingers are still burning from the last time
And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame
That's as may be, I can't explain
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere

And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame
That's as may be, I can't explain
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere

Jericho [prev. unissued] Lyrics

???: Make sure you don't blow your cheeks off.
[someone plays a trumpet]

???: Jericho's wall...
Micky: That's what he did, man, you hear about Jericho's wall? He opened up a B-flat valve and blew the seam. The horn didn't knock no wall down, no, it was the seam that blew open, man!

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Peter: You can talk about your men of Gideon
You can talk about your men of Saul
But there's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho
Micky: Well, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Peter: Whoa, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Ah, Jericho, Jericho
Peter and Micky: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down...

Nine Times Blue [prev. unissued demo version] Lyrics

"The only difference between me and Peter is that I'm just stoned legal."
"Rolling."

There's a certain something in the way
You looked at me and said you'd stay
That let me know that I was out of line
But I didn't know what else to do
And like a fool I tested you
By demanding things of you which weren't mine

And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me
But you did it with such love
That you're standing far above
Me and all I did to you
I'm sorry now, what can I do?

I know that never in the world
Could I have found me such a girl
Who's there to pick me up before I fall
And if in the end, we should go
Both our separate ways, I know
The lessons I've learned here is worth it all

And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me
But you did it with such love
That you're standing far above
Me and all I did to you
I'm sorry now, what can I do?

I know that never in the world
Could I have found me such a girl
Who's there to pick me up before I fall
And if in the end, we should go
Both our separate ways, I know
The lessons I've learned here is worth it all

Pillow Time [prev. unissued demo version] Lyrics

Micky: You should've heard some of the things they did today, Chip, unbelievable.
???: You know what I'd like to do now?
Micky: What?
???: Put the other harmony part to those empty bridges on Mike's songs.
Micky: Okay.
???: Can we do that?
Micky: Sure.
???: Come on in here a sec.
Micky: Why?
???: We can learn 'em.
Micky: Let me sit out here and play around, if I can. You know what I'd like to do is um... oh... There is a wonderland for Alice... hey, can you get this anymore repeat or echo? More... no, not more echo, more repeat?

There's a wonderland for Alice
There's a tall beanstalk for Jack
The sleepy train will take you there
Safely down the track
With the sandman at the throttle
You'll be off to dreams and back
It's pillow time again

You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down Mother Goose Lane
Romp with Jack and Jill
Up and down the hill
And try to put Humpty together again

Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop
The candy whistle's blowin'
Don't you miss your station stop
So goodnight my weary farer
Pleasant dreams to you old top
It's pillow time again

Micky: Hehehe, okay, we'll do that now, Chip. We'll do it now, I'm just playin' around... What? Tell me go brush my teeth?
???: Hamburger.
Micky: Oh, hey, you gonna eat out or are you gonna bring 'em back here?
???: Gonna bring it back.
Micky: Hey, hey, listen, if you want, let me give you some money, and bring back lots of stuff. All kinds of good stuff, y'know, not lots of hamburgers, 'cause there's, they get cold. Can you bring back some stuff?
???: We'll send somebody out for some stuff later.
Micky: Yeah, okay, okay, ready. Bring-me-back-a-hamburger-french-fries-and-coke-please-thank-you. Hank, um...
Hank: Yeah... do that again Mick.
Micky: That, that song?
Hank: Yeah.
Micky: Kinda dug it?
Hank: Yeah, I do.
Micky: Hey, should I play this thing to it? Wait a minute...
Hank: Yeah...
Micky: Let me hear it back...

There's a wonderland for Alice
There's a tall beanstalk for Jack
The sleepy train will get you there
Safely down the track
With the sandman at the throttle
You'll be off to dreams and back
It's pillow time again

You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down Mother Goose Lane
Romp with Jack and Jill
Up and down the hill
And try to put Humpty together again
