Since I saw you I don’t know what to do Since I saw you Since I saw you You’ve got me all askew Since I saw you I don’t know why When you go by These feelings I Have cannot be denied Since I saw you I’ve squandered revenue Since I saw you Since I saw you My friends bid me adieu Since I saw you And on that day When you looked my way I knew that I Had found you just in time Since I saw you I’m falling on my face Since I saw you Since I saw you I’m cleaning up my place Since I saw you I looked in your eyes Maybe unwise Anyhow I held out for time But I know I’m Falling now Since I saw you I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO Since I saw you Since I saw you Been dreaming of our rendezvous Since I saw you I saw you ..

Something fierce Has taken control Something strong Is about to unfold Something new Is going to grow I can’t stop Where my heart will go And I don’t want to No, I just want you Yeah I just want you To make you smile I just want you To hold you a while I just want you To give you my love I just want you, I just want you Something good Is going to happen Something great When I see you again Something true To my heart’s passion I can’t think straight When I think of you I don’t think love ever has to fade away I don’t know about the things all your friends say I don’t know about the state of the world today And I don’t know if our love can ever last But I know someday we’re gonna look back on our past And we’re gonna wonder if we did everything we could to give our love a chance… I just want you To make you smile I just want you To hold you a while I just want you To give you my love I just want you, I just want you I just want you To make you smile I just want you To hold you a while I just want you To give you my love I just want…I just want you

I’m uptight on a Friday night Everybody ‘round me’s feelin’ alright Panic level is on the rise Hi-beam headlights in their eyes Let’s never do this again real soon I’d rather be stranded on the moon I thought my dentist was my pal Then he told me I needed a root canal He said open wide so I can see I said gee thanks buddy but I’ll take a knee Let’s never do this again real soon I’m crawling back to my cocoon Let’s never do this again real soon Let’s never do this again real soon Let’s never do this again real soon Let’s never do this again real soon Heart is pounding, out of breath Surrounded by people, scared to death Like Caesar crossing the Rubicon You’ll turn around and I’ll be gone Let’s never do this again real soon I’d rather drink wine from a spittoon Let’s never do this again real soon I’d sooner arm wrestle a baboon Let’s never do this again real soon I’m hiding out in Saskatoon Let’s never do this again real soon Let’s never do this again real soon Let’s never do this again real soon Let’s never do this again never ever ever Aaaahhhh!

Falling Away 03:14
Hey Ziggy man, you came from Mars You had a band, you played guitar The sound you made, your screwed-up eyes It took five years, what a surprise Falling away, falling away Falling away, falling away Falling away, falling away Falling away… You shocked the world, Aladdin Sane You saw the stars in the mundane Jean Genie’s gone, an actor’s cracked It’s drive-in time in your Cadillac Now Thin White Duke please tell us why You threw your darts in lovers’ eyes The golden years, sweet lady soul A message from ground control Falling away, falling away Falling away, falling away Falling away, falling away Falling away, falling away Falling away, falling away Falling away, falling away Falling away, falling away Falling away…

Deep in the night The city is sleeping I reach for the light ‘Cause my heart is leaping It’s always this way Can’t turn off the day I try to be strong I worry about you Days are so long And so hard without you I’ve made up my mind We’ll leave it behind…this time I can see A time when we’ll be free Till that day Please keep the world away We’ll break out one night We’ll leave it behind us We’ll hide in plain sight Where no one can find us We’ll slip through the crack And never look back In this town We’ll just be kept down We don’t play We’ll keep the world away Anyway…we can This world owes you nothing And it pays off every time There doesn’t seem to be A reason or a rhyme Sometimes you feel the need To hide away Shutter the windows and doorways Brace yourself for a new day When we’re alone Nothing else matters No rat-race below No street-level chatter But we won’t deny The stars in the sky…oh no We’ll be free Oh baby you and me Till that day Just keep the world away I see it now Just keep believing how Come what may We’ll keep the world away Anyway…we can

If we’re going, fine Little love of mine Just give me a sign you know it No matter how it goes When the dominoes Start to decompose and show it We’ve been away in a strange land We didn’t know it beforehand I see a way in the night Give my regards to Sodom & Gomorrah Give my regards to Sodom & Gomorrah The coolest place that I’ve been so far-a, yeah Now I say to you Little baby blue We can rendezvous if you wanna When it’s time to go Back to the rodeo You gotta let me know if you’re gonna We’ve been away in a strange land Sometimes it felt just like quicksand There’s one way to know we’re alright Give my regards to Sodom & Gomorrah Give my regards to Sodom & Gomorrah There’s a lot I gotta answer for-a, yeah Give my regards to Sodom & Gomorrah Give my regards to Sodom & Gomorrah I’ll miss ‘em all more than a plethora, yeah

Maybe I think too much when I'm alone And my mind plays tricks on me Then I just try to get you on the phone And it rings on indefinitely Maybe I shouldn't try planning my words Waiting for the right time of day By the time all the other planets align I forget what I wanted to say I don't want to worry about what is right Is it too much to ask to be happy tonight? Even if I have to dream tomorrow Maybe I try to not hear what you say When you tell me we are through You say I'm not worth it at the end of the day And who would know better than you Maybe I know you're with some other guy By the way you answer 'no' Maybe it’s easier telling a lie But baby you don't let it show When all I could see was the light from your eyes I knew it was better to leave by sunrise Even if I have to dream tomorrow I see it in my mind, somewhere in the night You run to me In these dreams of mine, a shining ray of light You'll always be You'll always be I’m hoping the rumors of our separation Stay in the shadows of my imagination Even if I have to dream tomorrow Even if I have to dream tomorrow Even if I have to dream tomorrow

Hey, the mighty have fallen And they can’t get up And they can’t get up Yeah, the mighty have fallen Take a look around the world today No one knows the right thing to say Keep pressing for justice And we just may get it someday Hey, the mighty have fallen And they can’t get up And they can’t get up Yeah, the mighty have fallen Hey, they’re so appallin’ That I might throw up And I might throw up Yeah, the mighty have fallen People trying to improve society They’re probably better off without a word from me So I’ll be cheering on from the side Till I’m feeling more free And it won’t be long…so I sing this song I know I picked a really bad time To even try to say what’s on my mind So turn up the music And we’ll put our faith in the bassline Hey, the mighty have fallen And they can’t get up And they can’t get up Yeah, the mighty have fallen Hey, the mighty have fallen And they can’t get up And they can’t get up Yeah, the mighty have fallen It’s like an itching in my heart, Wake me when it’s over I’ll be standing in the shadows of love half sober I ain’t too proud to beg, There ain’t no shame The Marvelettes got captured by the game I said yeah, uh-uh-uh-uh yeah-eah Nothing’s too good for my baby Nothing’s too good for my girl

Monday nights at seven thirty on channel 4 Yeah that’s me an inch from the TV On the living room floor And for a half hour I sat still I had a lot of information to distill All that stuff between boys and girls And how to laugh your way through this cruel world The Monkees came into your home They didn’t wait for an invitation Your parents wouldn’t understand The presence of a rockin’ band The Monkees came into your home Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Davy Jones They may be coming to your town And out again like four cyclones But on the tube on Monday nights They had their real power shining bright Through the magic of a broadcast lens And all the lonely children of the world had friends The Monkees came into your home They didn’t wait for an invitation The Beatles lived in castles and The Stones got into hassles But the Monkees came into your home Yeah I got my Clarksville reservation Ooh I’m a member of Monkee Nation And it’s pulsing through my soul The Monkees came into your home They didn’t ask for no invitation They didn’t even have a key They’d bust right through your ADT The Monkees came into your home The Monkees came into your home They didn’t wait for a revolution I hope it meant a lot to you They probably had other things to do But the Monkees came into your home They had a more subversive sound Than the Velvet Underground The Monkees came into your home Putting on a private show And no one let your parents know The Monkees came into your home

I won’t say goodbye if you won’t I won’t say goodbye if you won’t I won’t say goodbye if you won’t try I won’t say goodbye if you won’t I won’t say goodbye I won’t say goodbye if you won’t try I’ll be like the one fool who won’t quit I’ll be like the dog with the weak shit I’ll be like the kid you wouldn’t babysit I’ll be like the stink in your armpit I won’t say goodbye if you won’t I won’t say goodbye if you won’t I won’t say goodbye if you won’t try I won’t say goodbye if you won’t I won’t say goodbye I won’t say goodbye if you won’t try I’ll be waiting here at the battle line I’ll be the canary in the coal mine I’ll be what you hearin’ through the grapevine I’ll be turning winter into springtime

We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar Field and fountain, moor and mountain Following yonder star Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain Gold I bring to crown Him again King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign CHORUS Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to the perfect light Frankincense to offer have I Incense owns a Deity nigh Prayer and praising, voices raising Worshiping God on high (CHORUS) Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying Sealed in the stone cold tomb (CHORUS) Why don't you guide us to The perfect light Guide us to The perfect light Why don't you guide us to The perfect light Come on and guide us to The perfect light
