Since I Saw You

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

I Just Want You
04:14
|

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…

Keep The World Away
03:41
|

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

The Mighty Have Fallen
03:07
|

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

Won't Say Goodbye
02:45
|

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
03:00
|
|||
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
