Crazy

Here's a little song to make you feel good

Put a little light in your day

These are crazy times

And it's all been getting pretty serious



Here's a little song to make you feel right

Send the blues away

Well it's a crazy game

Tell me who's to blame, I'm kind of curious



Right if you win, wrong if you lose

Nobody listens when you're singing the blues

Well something's the matter, but nothing gets done

Oh everyone's waiting for a place in the sun

Well something is wrong now

Can something be wrong with me

Oh brother, why's it got to be so crazy



Gimme little left, gimme little right

Gimme little black, gimme little white

Gimme little peace, gimme little hope

Gimme little light

'Cause you know it seems

That the situation's getting serious



Right if you win, wrong if you lose

Nobody listens when you're singing the blues

Well something's the matter, but nothing gets done

There's no use in waiting for a place in the sun

'Cause something is wrong now

Can something be wrong with me

Oh brother, why's it got to be so crazy



Oh something is wrong with me

Oh brother, why's it got to be this crazy

Crazy

Crazy

Crazy

Crazy

Put On Your Old Brown Shoes

Put on your old brown shoes

Right on your feet

Time to move on, get away

You know you paid your dues

Did all you could

Time to move on, no more to say



You and me, we're helpless can't you see

We've got to get away, get away

We've got to move on, till the madness around is gone

And the rest of our lives we'll be free



Kick out the morning blues

Who needs a job

Who needs pain and oppression

You know it can't be beat

Stand on your own two feet

Goodbye rain and depression



You and me, we're helpless can't you see

We've got to get away, get away

We've got to move on, catch the next train and we'll be gone

And the rest of our lives we'll be free



Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe



You know a friend is a friend

You don't leave him in trouble

He got a little drunk so now he's seeing double

Don't you see him there yeah lying in the rubble

But you have to lend a hand

'Cause you know he's on the level



Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe

Get your blue jeans right on babe



You and me, we're helpless can't you see

We've got to get away, get away

We've got to move on, till the madness around is gone

And the rest of our lives we'll be free

It's Raining Again

It's raining again

Oh no, my love's at an end

Oh no, it's raining again

and you know it's hard to pretend



Oh no, it's raining again

Too bad I'm losing a friend

Oh no, it's raining again

Oh will my heart ever mend



You're old enough some people say

To read the signs and walk away

It's only time that heals the pain

And makes the sun come out again



It's raining again

Oh no, my love's at an end

Oh no, it's raining again

Too bad I'm losing a friend



C'mon you little fighter

No need to get uptighter

C'mon you little fighter

And get back up again

Oh get back up again

Fill your heart again...



It's raining again

Oh no, my love's at an end

Oh no, it's raining again

Too bad I'm losing a friend



C'mon you little fighter

No need to get uptighter

C'mon you little fighter

And get back up again

Oh get back up again

Fill your heart again...

Bonnie

Your silver nights and golden days

I try to reach you in a million ways

I'm crazy 'bout you Bonnie

Can you tell?



Your diamond rings and fancy clothes

Do I want you babe, well heaven knows

I'm wild about you Bonnie

Can't you see, hey Bonnie



I've love you oh so long

I know we'd get along

Hey Bonnie will you ever notice me



Yes I know you oh so well

Just one look and I fell

Please tell me that our love will always be



I've seen your films and all your plays

I read about you every single day

I'd like to get my lovin' arms 'round you



From rags to riches you've got it made

How does it feel to be a famous name

Well Bonnie can you do the same for me

Oh Bonnie



I feel you in my soul

And to love you is my role

Oh Bonnie you're the only one for me



Yes I got my fortune read

And here's what the gypsy said

That we'll live and love and share eternity



Bonnie please be nice

We'll find paradise

Beneath the golden skies



Bonnie you're so good

Make me if you could

The toast of Hollywood



I'll give you all my love

We'll really live it up

Beneath the stars above



Your silver nights and golden days

I try to reach you in a million ways

I'm crazy 'bout you Bonnie

Can you tell?



Your diamond rings and fancy clothes

Do I want you babe, well heaven knows

I'm wild about you Bonnie

Can you tell?

Oh well

Know Who You Are

Know who you are

There's a world wants to know you

Know where to go

There's a world wants to touch you

Feel all you can

Let your heart speak and guide you

Don't be afraid

Of the love deep inside you



Bring it out for everyone

When you smile we can see the sun

Bring it out for all to hear

Because you've so much to give

And there's so much to know

But if you wait for your moment

Well, it may never show



Know who you are

There's a new song inside you

Weep if you can

Let the tears fall behind you



Bring it out for everyone

When you smile we can see the sun

Sing it out for all to hear

Because you've so much to say

And you've so much to do

And everyone's waiting

Yes, it's all up to you



Know who you are

There's a world deep inside you

Trust if you can

There's a friend there to guide you

My Kind Of Lady

Let me tell you what I want to say

You're the only one who can make me feel this way



My kind of lady

No better love could I embrace

No better heart, no other face

Can quite compare with you

You came along and then you mend my broken dreams

I was so down and then as foolish as it seems

You gave me your affection

Yeh baby you came through



We'll make it you'll see

In spite of those who say it's wrong

This time we feel that we belong

Now we can truly say

We'll be together and that's all we'll ever need

We'll love each other, that's the way it's gonna be

And nothin' under the sun and moon

Can make us be apart



Oh my honey

You know I'll love you every day

When things go wrong we'll find a way

I'm so glad I met you

Much more than I can ever say

We're making plans and holding hands just like before

We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road

It's feelin' good, just like it should, this time we know

We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore



I've been wastin' my life away

I've got a message for you today

To tell you that you are



My kind of lady

I'm not the same since I met you

All of my dreams had fallen through

And then you came along

One magic night when things went right it was so fine

Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine

And nothin' under the sun

Can make us be apart



Oh my baby

You know I'll love you all the way

When times get hard we'll smile and say

I'm so glad I met you

I'll love you more and more each day

We're making plans and holding hands just like before

We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road

It's feelin' good, just like it should, this time we know

We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore

C'est le Bon

I never knew what a man was supposed to be

I never wanted the responsibility

I still remember what they tried to make of me

They used to wonder why they couldn't get through to me

'Cause all that I had was this music

A-coming to me

And all that I had was this rhythm

A-running through me



I took a tip from the man in the ministry

He said, "My son, better work in the factory"

Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly

I saw myself winding up in the military

So lucky to have all this music

A-coming to me

I'm lucky to have all this rhythm

A-running through me

I'm watching the movie go down

Around, about me

I'm watching the marry-go-round

Go down, about me



I said, "Lovers, you're needed in the garden

'Cauce there's a lot of crazy people

Who've forgotten where their heart is

And they don't give a damn

About hurting those flowers and those trees"



C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, bon, bon, sailing on and on



Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me

Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me

Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly

I saw myself winding up in the monastery



'Cause all that I have is this music

A-coming to me

And all that I have is this rhythm

A-running through me

I'm watching the movie go down

Around, about me

I'm watching the marry-go-round

Go down, about me



I said, "Lovers, you're needed in the garden

'Cause there's a lot of crazy people

Who've forgotten where their heart is

And they don't give a damn

About hurting that small child in me."



C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, bon, bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, C'est le bon, sailing on and on

C'est le bon, bon, bon, sailing on and on

Waiting so long

Did you get all you want?

Did you see the whole show?

Where's all the fun

That we used to know?

As the memories fade

Way out of view

I'd love those old days

To come back to you



I've been waiting so long

I'm not feeling so strong



Do you say what you mean?

Do you mean what you say?

About this new scene

Is it really that way?

The blindness goes on

The blindness goes on

You say it's not so

But what do you know?



I've been waiting so long

I'm not feeling so strong



Ain't nothing new, it's just the same old thing

You got me singing those old blues again



Angry music, words of fire

Painted faces filled with rage

Even then they sound so tired

I must be set in my old ways



If this world is unimpressive

It's been that way for quite awhile

I don't need no heavy message

Just turn me on and make me smile



Yes I've been waiting such a long time

Just for something to ring true

Now I'd rather taste the old wine

Than mess around with something new



And the blindness goes on

The blindness goes on

The blindness goes on

The blindness goes on

The blindness goes on

The blindness goes on

The blindness goes on


  Up    Down  



Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now

Leave me out in the pouring rain

With my back against the wall

Don't leave me now



Don't leave me now

Leave me out with nowhere to go

As the shadows start to fall

Don't leave me now



Don't leave me now

Leave me out on this lonely road

As the wind begins to howl

Don't leave me now



Don't leave me now

All alone on this darkest night

Feeling old and cold and grey

Don't leave me now





Don't leave me now

Leave me holding an empty heart

As the curtain starts to fall

Don't leave me now



Don't leave me now

All alone in this crazy world

When I'm old and cold and grey

And time is gone
