| BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME | BLIND FAITH | |
| Because you love me It doesn’t make everything alright It doesn’t make everything alright Because you want me It doesn’t make everything alright Cos it’s alright to kick me when I’m down Push me around Spit upon the ground that I walk on But all I’m saying You know I love you don’t you You know I can’t live without you But I don’t know at all I don’t know at all I’ve heard this all before I won’t take this any more Because you’re sorry It doesn’t make everything alright It doesn’t make everything alright So believe me It won’t make everything alright Is it alright to kick me when I’m down Push me around Spit upon the ground that I walk on But all I’m saying You know I love you don’t you You know I can’t live without you But I don’t know at all I don’t know at all I’ve heard this all before I won’t take this anymore Well, all I’m saying You know I love you don’t you You know I can’t live without you But I don’t know at all I don’t know at all I’ve heard this all before I can’t take this anymore |
Touch the Virgin Mary Say another rosary Follow in the Lenten procession Cleanse yourself with confession Have another novena In the month of November Open your eyes and see Light a penny candle Light a faithful candle Light a faithful candle Light a hopeless candle And see through our blind faith Have another vigil As an act of good will Pray to a statue That's covered in gold Pray for our forgiveness Pray for our souls Open your eyes and see (chorus) (repeat chorus) |

| CALL ME BLUE | CLUMP OF TREES | |
| What a great world we all live in Even better, what a time to be here So break a leg now, To all the world's biggest stage Too many actors living in high tents(?) Call me blue Call me blue again Call me blue Call me blue Sold your soul now(?) Too much bathroom music It turns your brain to sludge When you watch too much On the TV, on the radio Turn it up now, cause that don't turn it off no We need cotton beards(?) we need shout tears(?) Don't press on tune ya(?) Chorus |
How can I say just how I feel Do you not know, is this not real dear One thing I know, there's blood in a stone Imagine a weight inside my chest If you should go that weight would crush my bones dear What makes it worse is that this really hurts Like a clump of trees Don't cut me down Evergreen Sometimes blue Evergreen Sometimes blue And you can not see the wood for a clump of trees Trees, trees But do do do(?) Like a star when it falls its light lingers on Just like my heart just a little more slowly From the sea, to the roof, to the trees It's burning time once more And more and more times Must the trees fall down To leave my heart linger on Like a clump of trees Don't cut me down Evergreen Sometimes blue Evergreen Sometimes blue And you can not see the wood for a clump of trees Like a clump of trees Don't cut me down Evergreen Sometimes blue Evergreen Sometimes blue And you can not see Can not see Can not see the wood for a clump of trees |

| COMEDY IS OVER, THE | COTTON PICKERS | |
| I tried hard to reach you I tried hard to understand Where I was going wrong I tried too hard All the days I made you laugh I thought I was halfways there Now it seems that halfways Is no where The comedy is over The curtains are down I will no longer Be seen To be playing the clown A smile is a frown upside down Now I’ve learned that laughter Will never be enough *To bring happiness you need to be sad (less) ?? savless?? Which is one thing that you can never be Look how you used me to make you happy (chorus) This clown doesn’t feel like joking This clown isn’t very funny This clown will have one last laugh <Laughing> <Clapping> The comedy is over The curtains are down I will no longer Be seen to be playing the clown A smile is a frown I’m not playing the clown, a smile is a frown Upside down (repeat) |
There are lovers There are mothers There are winners There are weepers And there are saviours And there are sinners, dreamers, doers, talkers, leaders There are times when I feel That we are all cotton pickers We are all cotton pickers We are all [???] wishers We are all cotton pickers There are monsters There are monarchs There are fiends There are beggars There are believers There are hoaxers, hustlers, hagglers, paupers, taunters There are times when I feel (chorus X2) |

Curious What is love? Is it real? Or is it just a dream? What is love? Why are we ashamed to say what’s on our minds Have you ever been curious Why do we make a mess of things time and time again Have you ever been curious Why do we spend our lives loving what we hate I’ve always been curious And when we die do we go to the great big party in the sky I’ve always been Curious (chorus) *I’ll not tell you what you are to here? Tell me Tell me Tell me.. Tell me.. (chorus) |

When I get old I want to be an airplane pilot Yes, you can share that dream If you can make it seem Like ice in the springtime, a merry-go-round going round the wrong way Hay when the sun shines Hay when the sun shines Hay when the sun shines Hay when the sun, sun shines Now it's all politics Yes, it's all lunatics Nice people, nice suits and ties Filling us with wonderful lies Listen son, I know you know what's good So vote for me as all good boys would Can't you see I promise you the world And now you only get to see it (Chorus) Why should I want to leave here Give me just one good reason I can almost count on fingers All the young people left here I'm off to find fame and fortune And a handful of self-respect too So I follow in the footsteps To the pace of prodigal son (Chorus) |
Ooooooo! Ooooooo! Ooooooo!

Wooooooooo! Wooooooooo! Where have all the good times gone Where have they all gone It’s good to see you laugh again It’s good to see you smile again It’s good to see you laughing one more time Cos here come the good times Here come the good times Here come the good times For a change It makes a nice change It’s good to see you It’s good to see you smile It’s good to see you laugh It’s good to see you talk It’s good to see you laugh It’s good to see you smiling one more time (Here come the good times) For a change for a change (Here come the good times) *Merry Christmas baby! ??

| I am afraid of the dark I am afraid of the day I am afraid to walk outside And of what people say I am afraid to drink too much Because of what I might do I am afraid to speak my mind And of being ridiculed It's not that I'm not strong It's just that I'm not strong enough for you It's not that I'm not brave It's just that I'm not brave enough for you I am afraid to be unloved I am afraid to be forsaken I am afraid of doing wrong And to never be forgiven I am afraid that you will find I'm not the man you think I am I am afraid to be on my own And of the unknown (chorus) Ever since I Was a small child I can not sleep at night Without the light on I am afraid to laugh out loud Or to stand out of the crowd I am scared of loving you I am scared to lose you I am afraid to lose control I am afraid of growing old I am afraid to die But it's something I must do It's not that I'm not strong It's just that I'm not strong enough for you It's not that I'm not brave It's just that I'm not brave enough for two |
Whatever happened to good music? You know
in the days that you could feel it? It was almost sexual, sending shivers up your spine. This, I believe is because songwriters were not restricted by the small music dictatorship which now exists. Let's hope the future holds something better than the present and let's leave the past alone. The music business is incapable of bringing music to the future, as it sits just waiting to pounce on any third rate trend, milking it to death, once again putting money where the music is not. I only wish I was born before all the great ideas were used. While I struggle to working around this, the most annoying thing is watching others succeed through stealing them. I could have been a legend in my own time; I could have sold a lot of records; I could have enjoyed it as well. I could have been a lot of things. One thing that I know I am and will always be: I am the greatest. I bumped into this bloke the other day we used to know in school. We didn't say 'hello' because he had his hair slicked ______ and I had all mine shaved off. He was always a bit of a clown. He used to be a hard man, but he did his homework, because he knew that one day he'd be going places. I knew I should have asked him there and then 'was he happy now that he'd finally got there?' He goes to bed thinking of ways to fiddle ten more pounds on his expenses. Me? I go to bed thinking of all the reasons why I am the greatest. We always use other people as the mirror in which we judge ourselves. So, we are constantly changing to meet their expectations. Maybe we've forgotten the meaning of the word 'individual.' It's as if everything we do or think is valued for its conformity. Anything fresh or original is hacked down and always brought down to size. You don't even think for yourself, as a life that is led for you is some kind of problem. You wouldn't recognize a new idea if it spat in your face and screamed out hairy name(?). Who am I to talk? Who the hell do I think I am? I am the greatest. Welcome to the wonderful world of show business. The dark and dank place rarely lit by the harsh light of reality. I look around and I see the big monolith(?) rock stars with opinions on everything and answers to nothing. Burnt out old men with money to burn. Bandwagons full of bands with sycophantic fans with no lives of their own. A place where image is king and music is a poorer relation that I can relate to. I am the greatest. I am the greatest. I am! |

You give me inspiration You give me love My little lighthouse And the brilliant things that you do I think I could like you Yes, we could walk for awhile Or simple talk for awhile We could watch a video show Or catch a picture show, don't you know We could shower, put on a change of clothes And go where everyone goes We could stay in, Get a cheap bottle of wine and dine Chorus We could go where the wind blows o'er your hair As it blows, watch it show the sky, the sky is much darker now But you wouldn't like that, no, you wouldn't like that And if I could see out, I wouldn't have to shout There's no need to pout Chorus We could take a weekend away Do holiday things, get drunk and fall down And don't ask for reasons you hold Got a heart made of gold get things done as they're told So let me tell you now there's no silver line There's those that don't want to see And the story so far rings like a shotgun in your hand Chorus |

| Now that I'm sick Will I ever feel well again Now that I'm getting old Will I ever retain my youth Now that I'm angry Will I ever be able to forgive again Now that I feel threatened Will I ever be able to live without fear (chorus) You know that I doubt it And I doubt it I doubt it very much You know that I doubt it And I doubt it I doubt it very much Now that I'm weak Will I ever be able to stand up by myself Now that I'm stupid Will I ever be able to kill this mockingbird Now that I'm hungry Will I ever be able to afford to feed myself Now that I'm poor Can I ever live like those (repeat chorus) Now that we care Can we find in our hearts To give to those, those who have not Are we greedy, do we know it And do we really care Now that I'm angry, angry, angry Now that I'm sick, now that I'm sick Now that I'm sick, sick, sick (repeat chorus) |

| PATRON SAINT OF MEDIOCRITY, THE | PICTURE A HOUSE | |
| I'm not unique or some kind of freak I'm not anarchic, I'm not afraid to speak I'm not a work of art, or a terminal scar I'm not a star, I don't care who you are I'm not a leader of men, anybody's friend Anybody's friend I'm not a godsend, I'm not a omniscient I'm not insane, I'm not inhumane I'm merely what you see (chorus) I am the patron saint of Patron saint of Patron saint of Patron saint of Mediocrity I'm nobody's fool, yet I won't ridicule you I'm not self-righteous, I'm not always wrong I'm not somebody that anyone relies on I'm not a shoulder that anybody cries on I'm not a coward or stand out in the crowd I don't stand out in the crowd I'm not the crème de la crème or the salt of the earth I won't bore you to tears or crack you up laughing I am merely what you see (repeat chorus) I'm not a leading light or a candle in the wind I'm not Jesus Christ or the fallen angel I'm not trustworthy, I'm not a liar I'm not a celibate, I'm not a gigalo I'm not outrageous, I'm not a genius I'm not a genius I'm not delirious, I'm not heroic I'm not eccentric, I'm merely a statistic I'm merely what you see (repeat chorus) |
Picture a house With hanging baskets On a quiet little street On the corner where the lamp shows A beautiful garden And perfect cut lawns All the young people play hide and But inside there’s a monster Who makes demands He sais “do what I want - not what I say.” And everyone lives in fear Will the man responsible Will the man responsible Take a bow. |

| SLIPPING AWAY | SHE KEEPS ME HUMBLE | |
| I once had everything my heart desired I was always looking forward I once knew everything there was to know I was the only one who thought so I once was everything a man should be Tall, red, rich and handsome I had morality, Mr personality Give my guidance to anyone who'd take it Love of the year, captain of my class Crew member of the month I'd hit the headlines Heads I'd win; Tails, I'd lose Guess what? Tails won. (chorus) I once loved everything in everyone I grew up quick when things went wrong I once dreamt live was a bed of roses Until I lay down in a bed of thorns I once thought the world would bow down at my feet I would just sit back and let things happen Then I woke up in a blinding flash of light And out of nowhere I saw this faint figure Quite clearly pointing it's finger And then I heard a voice say "My son, This world is for the taking but only if you want it bad enough." I said. "My god, I have tried!" (chorus) I had promise, ate with a silver spoon, fed from a silver plate I had dedication, I had respect, I was God's gift to mankind I had a head full of dreams, I believed in things Now, I've got a pocket full of nothing, I keep on losing it (chorus) |
Im nervous around you I am what you are I am mad about you I am what you are So near and far away From what you want I am what you are I’m there when you call me I am who you know I follow your shadow I am what you see I am what I think you want me to be I am what you are So near and far away She keeps me down She keeps me humble She keeps me down, down, down She keeps me humble She keeps me from Losing my head Keeping my edge She keeps me down Down in the ground Im not uptight when she’s not around She keeps me down I’m nervous around you I am what you are I am mad about you I am what you are So near and far away From what you need *I am both in soul ? Body and soul With no guarantees Of her loving me I wish she could try Or just leave me be I am what you are So near and far away (chorus) She keeps me from losing my head Keeping my edge She puts me down, down in the crowd I’m not uptight When she’s not around She keeps me down (chorus) She keeps me from losing my head Keeping my edge She keeps me down Down in the ground I’m not uptight when she’s not around She keeps me down |

You know I love you For the next ten minutes at least Why can't we get married And then let the boredom set in Violent love, violent love, violent love, violent love Now you've hit her But you didn't mean to hit to hard At least not the first time Or the second or the third of the fourth time Violent love, violent love, violent love, violent love Another quick one in the hand Later I can give to my wife When I get home I'm sure she's waiting up there Violent love, violent love, violent love, violent love |

| WHY ME? | PLACEHOLDER | |
| Why…. Me? Why…. Me? This is a cruel and ruthless world This is our world This everyone for themselves where bigger dogs eat smaller dogs over lunch Where there’s always someone younger, cheaper and better than you It’s a game In order to survive you must play To succeed you must cheat If you do you do not have the right to feel hard done by If you don’t you’ll spend the rest of your life wondering why Why me? Why me indeed.. I ordered everything that my eyes could see But you don’t see the pitfalls and you’re blinded by greed I ordered things I could never afford But I got much more than I bargained for If I hadn’t gone too far If I didn’t want to much If I hadn’t pushed too hard Things could have been different for me (repeat chorus) Sometimes our expectations are far too high And we lead ourselves to believe that that love should be indestructible When in fact love is the one thing that can completely destroy us We think we deserve to get more out than were willing to put in We demand honesty, openness and loyalty Which is more than we can bear live up to So when love falls apart we feel that we’re the only person in the world this have ever happened to Why me indeed? I took a chance and died in your arms When you took me in and you smothered me with your charms I bit off more than I could possibly chew And I’d eaten my fill and was devoured by you (chorus) (repeat chorus) We cannot bear to admit defeat We cannot take the pain We are prepared to take the risks And bask in the glory of our own success We are not prepared to wallow in the depths of our inadequacies So we look for someone else to blame Why me indeed.. I took a chance and died in your arms When you took me in and you smothered me with your charms I bit off more than I could possibly chew When I’d eaten my fill, I was devoured by you (chorus, repeated lots of times) Things should have been different for me |

| Heaven knows you try hard Hell makes us think you do Buying all the right things At all the right times, you know Heaven gives up openness Hell takes it back from you Caring and sharing at All the right times, you see (chorus) I promise you I promise you You'll cry when I die Ask yourself why, why, why, why I didn't know you loved me You'll cry when I die Ask yourself why, why, why, why I didn't know you loved me Heaven knows life goes on Hell knows for how long Heaven knows as long as You don't let hell interfere You wish you had done this You wish you had done that Going through your brain Constantly leading you to shame (repeat chorus) You just can't go through life Life is a piece of cold stone Because even a stone can be Crushed by a heavy blow Right through your heart When you're least expecting it Don't let them go without Letting them know how you feel How you feel (repeat chorus) |
You're too young You're just too young To be hateful You're too young To be fearful Forceful, hurtful, cynical, faithful, careful, thoughtful You're just too young to understand the reason why But when you grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow You can be like me You can be like me You can be like me And everybody For I am too old But I am too old To be graceful I am too old To be wishful Playful, youthful, sinful, harmful, useful, boastful I am too old to understand the reason why But when I grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow I can be like you I wanna be like you I wanna be like you! I am too old and you are too young... young |
