ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT

Another saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way.

I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then,
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
Thats how I'm in the state I'm in.

CHORUS

Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliverance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein.

CHORUS

Its hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town.

Another saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful, ooh, I'm in an awful way,
He's in an awful way, I'm in an awful way,
I'm in an awful way, He's in an awful way.

CAN'T KEEP IT IN

Oh I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in,
I've gotta let it out.
I've got to show the world,
world's got to see,
see all the love love that's in me.

I said, why walk alone,
why worry when it's warm over here.
You've got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you're thinking, and think anything.

Oh why, why must you waste you're life away,
you've got to live for today,
then let it go
Oh, lover, I want to spend this time with you,
there's nothing I wouldn't do,
If you let me know.

And I can't keep it in,
I can't hide it and
I can't lock it away.
I'm up for your love,
love heats my blood,
blood spins my head,
and my head falls in love, oh.

No, I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in,
I've gotta let it out.
I've gotta show the world,
world's got to know,
know of the love,
love that lies low, so

Why can't you say,
If you know, then why can't you say.
You've got too much deceit,
deceit kills the light,
light needs to shine,
I said shine light, shine light.

Love, That's no way to live your life,
you allow too much to go by, and that won't do.
No, lover. I want to have you here by my side.
Now don't you run, don't you hide,
while I'm with you.

'N I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in,
I've gotta let it out.
I've got to show the world,
world's got to see,
see all the love
love that's in me.

I said, why walk alone,
why worry when it's warm over here.
You've got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you're thinking, and think anything.
Why not? Now why why why not?

FATHER AND SON

Father:
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son:
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father:
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son:
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)

Vater:
Das ist jetzt der falsche Zeitpunkt um was zu ändern,
Entspann dich, nimm nicht alles so ernst.
Du bist noch jung - das ist dein Pech,
Da gibt es so viel, was du noch wissen mußt.
Finde ein Mädchen, werde seßhaft,
Wenn du willst, kannst du heiraten.
Schau mich an, ich bin alt, aber ich bin glücklich.

Ich war mal so wie du, und ich weiß, es ist nicht leicht,
ruhig zu bleiben, wenn man merkt, das was los ist.
Aber laß dir Zeit, denke viel nach.
Warum, überlege dir was du hast.
Du bist morgen immer noch da, aber deine Träume vielleicht nicht

Sohn:
Wie kann ich versuchen, es zu erklären, wenn ich es tue dreht er sich wieder weg..
Es ist immer die gleiche, gleiche alte Geschichte.
Von dem Moment an, wo ich sprechen konnte, hatte ich zuzuhören.
Jetzt ist da ein Weg und ich weiß, das ich weggehen muß.
Ich weiß, daß ich gehen muß.

Vater:
Das ist jetzt der falsche Zeitpunkt um was zu ändern.
Setz dich einfach mal hin, geh' es langsam an.
Du bist noch jung - das ist dein Pech.
Du mußt sowieso noch viel lernen.
Finde ein Mädchen, werde seßhaft,
Wenn du willst, kannst du heiraten.
Schau mich an, ich bin alt, aber ich bin glücklich.
(Sohn -- Weg, weg, weg, Ich weiß ich muß
Diese Entscheidung alleine treffen - nein)

Sohn:
Jedes mal, wenn ich weinte, habe ich all die Dinge, die ich wußte, für mich behalten,
Es ist hart, aber es ist härter, es zu ignorieren.
Wenn sie wenigstens Recht hätten, würde ich einwilligen, aber sie kennen mich
nicht.
Jetzt ist da ein Weg und ich weiß, das ich weggehen muß.
Ich weiß, daß ich gehen muß.
(Vater -- Bleib, bleib, bleib, warum mußt du gehen und die Entscheidung alleine treffen?)

HARD HEADED WOMAN

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will take me for myself,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I won't need nobody else, no, no, no.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed -- yes, yes, yes.

I know a lot of fancy dancers,
people who can glide you on a floor,
They move so smooth but have no answers.
When you ask "Why'd you come here for?"
"I don't know" "Why?"

I know many fine feathered friends
but their friendliness depends on how you do.
They know many sure fired ways
to find out the one who pays
and how you do.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me feel so good,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I know my life will be as it should -- yes, yes, yes.

I'm looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman...

HERE COMES MY BABY

In the midnight moonlight I'll be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

You never walk alone, and you're forever talking on the phone.
I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

I'm still waiting for your heart, cuz I'm sure that some day it's gonna start.
You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'til then this is all that I can say.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

I WISH, I WISH

I wish I knew, I wish I knew
what makes me, me, and what makes you, you.
It's just another point of view, ooo.
A state of mind I'm going through, yes.
So what I see is never true, ahhh.

I wish I could tell, I wish I could tell
what makes a heaven what makes a hell.
And do I get to ring my bell, ooo.
Or land up in some dusty cell, no.
While others reach the big hotel, yeah.

I wish I had, I wish I had
the secret of good, and the secret of bad.
Why does this question drive me mad? ahhh.
'Cause I was taught when but a lad, yes,
That bad was good and good was bad, ahhh.

I wish I knew the mystery of
that thing called hate, and that thing called love.
What makes the in-between so rough? ahhh.
Why is it always push and shove? ahhh
I guess I just don't know enough, yes.

MORNING HAS BROKEN

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

KATMANDU

I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky

Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

Chop me some broken wood
We'll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old satan's tree

Katmandu I'll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night treat me right
until I go
Be nice to know

Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will keep me home

LADY D'ARBANVILLE

My Lady d'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
and you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

My Lady d'Arbanville why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low?

My Lady d'Arbanville why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
and you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

My Lady d'Arbanville, you look so cold tonight.
Your lips feel like winter,
your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white.

My Lady d'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
and you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

La la la la la....

My Lady d'Arbanville why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low?

I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie,
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie,
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

Meine Lady d'Arbanville, warum schläfst du so ruhig?
Ich werde Dich morgen aufwecken
und du wirst meine Füllung sein, ja, du wirst meine Füllung sein.

Meine Lady d'Arbanville, warum betrübt es mich so sehr?
Aber dein Herz scheint still zu sein.
Warum atmest du so flach, warum atmest du so flach?

Meine Lady d'Arbanville, warum schläfst du so ruhig?
Ich werde Dich morgen aufwecken
und du wirst meine Füllung sein, ja, du wirst meine Füllung sein.

Meine Lady d'Arbanville, du siehst diese Nacht so kalt aus.
Deine Lippen fühlen sich wie der Winter an,
deine Haut ist weiß geworden, deine Haut ist weiß geworden.

Meine Lady d'Arbanville, warum schläfst du so ruhig?
Ich werde Dich morgen aufwecken
und du wirst meine Füllung sein, ja, du wirst meine Füllung sein.

La la la la la....

Meine Lady d'Arbanville, warum betrübt es mich so sehr?
Aber dein Herz scheint still zu sein.
Warum atmest du so flach, warum atmest du so flach?

Ich liebte dich, meine Lady, obwohl du in deinem Grab liegst,
ich werde immer bei dir sein
diese Rose wird niemals sterben, diese Rose wird niemals sterben.

Ich liebte dich, meine Lady, obwohl du in deinem Grab liegst,
ich werde immer bei dir sein
diese Rose wird niemals sterben, diese Rose wird niemals sterben.

LILYWHITE

Back up on the mended road
I pause
taking time to check the dial

And the Lilywhite
I never knew her name
But she'll be passing my way sometime again.

I raise my hand and touch the wheel
of change
taking time to check the dial

Thank the Lilywhite
I never knew her name
But she'll be passing my way sometime again.

But she'll be passing my way sometime again.

MOONSHADOW

Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if.... I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if.... I won't have to cry no more.

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if.... I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if.... I won't have to talk...

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?

OH VERY YOUNG

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans
Denim Blue fading up to the sky
And though you want them to last forever
You know they never will
You know they never will
And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
You know you never will
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time

PEACE TRAIN

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST

I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worse
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worse
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY?

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.

Oh, I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.
But will you keep on building higher
'til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

WILD WORLD

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus
