Blue bird take me on your wing
Teach me how to fly
Teach me how to sing
Blue bird, guardian of my soul
Inside everybody
Is a story to be told
I came in from the cold
When I found someone
Strong enough to bear
The strain of our existence
And troubles everywhere
But time heals
And I know you'll be there... ooh
Blue bird symphony in flight
Symbol of the dawn
Symbol of the night

I never had a little sister
No brother to tell my troubles to
My nights were oh so sad and lonely
Until the day that I met you

Some people say it isn't healthy
To be the only one around
That's why I get a little edgy
Don't want to lose what I have found
'Cause I'm an only child

You are the light at the end of the tunnel
You are the sun and the moon and sky
You are my sister mother lover

you know i cannot always be there with you
when something crazy takes me far away
we must stick together through this madness
i've got so many things I want to say

too many forces try to come between us
so little time to share and talk to you
if i show my hand to you in panic
please remember what i'm going through

i've loved you forever
but it seems like a day
and i want to be there with you

You and I don't have to hurry
Take your time now don't you worry
Let me know what you're going through
There's a troubled look on your face
And it would only take the time
it takes, for me to talk to you

And now and then we've got to question
Am I right, I may be wrong
And the only way we can work it out
We've got to try to give and take
And it will only take the time

You ask me what's it like now
I've got no woman - don't ask
You ask me how's it feel to be alone
You've got no one - don't ask
I'll tell you what's the story
Who's the judge and who's the jury - the past

Don't ask me what it's like to be alone at night
I hear a tapping on the wall
(I hear you knocking but ya)
I calm myself by leaving on the bathroom light
I know there's no one out there

We came across from Korea
We braved the wind and the rain
We came a thousand miles just to be here
And you want to send we back again

We crossed Malaysian waters
We sailed the South China Sea
We stopped at Singapore and Jakarta
And you want to send we back to sea

Don't send we back, have mercy upon us
We know you don't want us but we've got no one
Don't send we back, we've run out of water

Momma don't mind, cause your momma don't know
But if your poppa finds out that we're all alone
He's gonna change your mind and rearrange my bones

Cause the power of love is like a tidal wave
It can pick you up and knock you on the floor
make you do the things you never done before

Don't imagine that you're free
There's no escaping from reality
You're under the spell, under the power of love

Einstein, he said, nothings original
Find something new, That's easy for him to say
Took his whole life explaining his theory
Try squeezing your life into 3 minute songs like

"My love, your face is a symphony
You play the strings of my heart
Say that we never shall part
If you say goodbye, then I'll surely die without you"

Oh, we've heard it all before
Oh, we've heard it all before

I'll tell you something you oughta know
We came a long way from the radio
But what's wrong with that
Baby's what's wrong with that

Now we got microchips, sci fi flicks
We got tomorrow's world today

Now there's something that I gotta say
Do you remember only yesterday
We had Blue Suede Shoes
Yeh, and we had Howard Hughes

Now we got holograms, CB hams
We got tomorrow's world today

There's talk about some people
That maybe you know
The heroes and the villains
And the places that they know

The highest and the finest
The lowest of the low
Just stop and get it through you
There's somewhere you can go

Tell you what I do when I'm lonely
I'll tell you what I do when I'm blue
Tell you what I do when I'm lonely
I close my eyes and think about you

[CHORUS]

Baby, baby, don't you make a sound
All I'm asking of you is to understand
I can't let you go
When are you coming home again

It's so easy to be cold and proud
We should talk it over, we should shout it out
I can't let you go, no no no
When are you coming home again

I never dreamed that you would go away
When we had a quarrel we could find a way
But I woke up this morning and I knew it

Early morning
I'm still yawning
Kiss the children
See you tonight dear
Cheerio

Henry's an angel when he closes the gate
But to the station he don't want to be late
His manner changes as he steps on the train
Beneath his bowler (hat) lies a schizophrenic brain
Oh he wants to flirt and Yes he's looking up the skirts

He want to meddle with a body
He want to tamper with your mind
Sooner or later

There's a man at the top
And I know that he's pulling the strings
He's got his eye in the sky
And I know that he sees everything
There's a bug on the phone
Got his eye on the fly on the wall
But the man in the street doesn't know
'till the guillotine falls

Then he drops before you realize
Bullets hit you right between the eyes

I'm a man with a mission
Got my foot in the door

If you want love to stay
Don't give all your secrets away
It's not the fashion
But hold back your passion

Don't - open your heart, no
Don't - share all your dreams in one night, no
Don't - tell the whole story
Why should you hurry

You don't want love to leave
So don't wear your heart on your sleeve
It's not a crime to
Give her some time and

Don't - drive her away, no

Remember I'm the one who didn't have a lot to say
I was trying to find the courage, but I let you walk away
And I can't forget your face, y'know it haunts me all the time
And it seems to me you're living in a dream

[CHORUS]
Wish we could run away, and we could be alone together
Far away, and leave the world behind
Runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you

A far bit beyond this place
All the stars have been cast
You may try to resist the pace
But it's happening too fast
The desire is so strong
Yeah you got to concede
There's no way to escape from the trap
We are slaves to our needs

And we're lost in love
(Y'say) We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
And we're lost in love

I treat you like a woman
So treat me like a man
I took you to a better place
And helped you understand

[CHORUS]
So don't squeeze me like toothpaste
Like putty in your hands
I'm gonna go away, I'm gonna blow away

A woman is a woman
And a man is just a fool
It takes all of the heartaches
And life can be so cruel

[CHORUS]

Who's gonna be there when the morning comes

She had a shake like a belly dancer
and a body like a tiger tiger (uh huh, uh huh)
She was looking at me

Now you know that I ain't no dancer
But there's gotta be a way to meet her
So I just walked up to her and said
Are you hot to trot

Well I knew I was looking cool
Pretty sharp like a razor razor (uh huh, uh huh)
She was smiling at me

So I said if you got the notion

You've got to get it while you can
Time and time we've gone no man
Tomorrow will become today
It's there to take it if you try
Everybody's having fun
So why be the one
Who's out in the cold

Don't let the future pass you by
Go ahead and give it a try
You've got to fight for number one
You see the story's just begun
Everybody's having fun
So why be the one
Who's got to be told

Something to begin with
That's easy said than done
You'll see me rolling home
But I don't understand why
Still there's nothing at all

Time is on my side
But we mustn't let our disappointment show
But I will, and you will go on

All I need is some good news (some good news)
All I need is some good news (just some good news)
To put me on my feet (to put me on my feet)

Well it's cold down here in the water
It's cold down here in the sea
Who'd be a channel swimmer
Only a fool like me

I've greased my body
and I'm heading over the ocean
These two arms are the only locomotion
I need

See me swim and see me float
I don't need no motorboat
or a yacht to get me there

I'll do the breaststroke
and the backstroke
I'll do anything

I need some money to open doors
I won't bend over or lick your paws
You got me red, I'll get me black
My tar town checks come bouncin' back

He wears my suit to make a good impression
He didn't come here for no mad concession

Don't rip me off
'Cause I'm a
Blue chip (Long hair)
Gilted (Weirdo)
Carte blanche, bona fide
18 carat man of means

My joint account goes up in smoke

I got a bee in my bonnet
Got a chip on my shoulder
I got a hole in my shoe
And my toes are getting colder
I got ants in my pants
I got fries in my thighs
I got a bone in my nose
I got frit in my ass

I got a bee in my bonnet
Got a chip on my shoulder

I got a flee in my ear
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I got a ticket for the train
And I'm ready to leave
I got a rockin' pneumonia

Gonna meet you on the corner
Gonna take you out of town
Out to where the grass is greener
And no one can be found

Gonna be there in the morning
Gonna take you by the hand
Gonna get out of the city
Gonna get back to the land

Waterfall, and it's fallin' down on me
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down
But it ain't gonna let me be

Gonna be there in the morning
Gonna take you by the hand

4% of something's
Better than 10% of nothing blue
4% of something's
Better than 10% of nothing blue
Well I don't like the way you work
It's all I can do

Working on a number
My fingers to the bone on my guitar
Working on a number
My fingers to the bone on my piano
All I got the end of the day
Is a message from the King

4% of something's
Better than 10% of nothing blue
4% of something's

The people were running
The place was on fire
The smoke was a-growing
And the flames were getting higher

The fire chief was shouting
As he knocked down my door
He said you better move your butt boy
Or you'll knock on heaven's door

I'm so laid back, I'm laid out
I'm so caved in and spaced out
I'm wired to the teeth
I'm fused to the floor
So baby don't you bug me no more

You promised me a life
You promised me everything would change
Even said you'd be my wife
Ooh now you're gone

You told me I was handsome
Even told me I was smart
And I believed every word you said
Ooh then you broke my heart

I don't know why I was so hard of hearing
I only listened to what I wanted to
I couldn't see what was goin' on around me
You didn't need me
But I needed you
Ooh ooh

When I first saw Yvonne, volcanoes erupted
And her laughter flowed into my life
She seemed so right, nothing wrong
Everything about her was so strong
So I waited for the magic to start
Somebody touch me deep in my heart

Yvonne's the one I've been dreaming on
She said, "Hold on
You're not the only one"
And so I said, "You're wrong Yvonne"

When I saw her again, I was caught in a landslide

I watch her move up and down the beach, well
The fellows drool, but she's out of their reach, and
These are not a part of the scheme, but
Let them hope, and let them dream
So many dreams in the mind of the men, well
Come to life through a good woman
Margo walks in another place, well
It's in her eyes and it's on her face

Some like it cool
Some like it hot
Some give a little
Some give a lot

It doesn't help you if you scream and shout
That isn't what this thing is all about
And do you really want to fight to win
You're missing out and that's another sin
Your dream of power is a sacrifice
Do you really want to pay that price
Just think about it and you'll change the pace
Look in the mirror tell me who do you face
Who is that

It's everything, everything is not enough

I want to meet you at that restaurant
The one you love it's got a pretty front
What a front
The girls are holding hands
It's a treat to indulge
Or we can sit awhile and look around
Look around, round round
Look around, round round

This is the age of consent
You don't have to be coy
This is your own pleasure bent
We are here to enjoy everything
Everything that the traffic allows

You said you will
You said I do
Now that's the best thing
For me and you
We'll stick together our whole lives through
Grow old with me

Starting out just the two of us
Pretty soon they'll be a few of us
We'll love and cherish and give our trust
Grow old with me

Pretty face got it all worked out
What we did today leaves me in no doubt
That dreams come true
And now I'm whole

I found myself on my knees in prayer
The consequence of my deep despair
Now I must speak, get it off my chest
It ain't no joke and it ain't no jest

Every night she would come to me
But her demands brought disharmony
I said, "You can't bring your drums to bed,
Your rhythm method's gonna leave me dead."

Got to take this woman
Cos she's a whole lotta woman
Why don't you take this woman

Deep in the night
I can hear you calling my name
How can I try to help you woman
If you go on hiding your pain
Baby, Baby, the tears on your pillow are real
You can't go on pretending to me
when I see the pain that you feel

A code of silence, is a dreadful thing
It can make you feel harder
It can keep you hanging on a string
Here in the darkness
When I hear you calling my name

Inside my loneliness and sorting through the mess
I came across a bunch of snaps and letters
I found an eight by ten, taken God knows when
It took me back to when we found each other

How did I let it start
If I could only remember
Oh, Oh, why did I break your heart

The tender parts we played
I thought we had it made
The recipe for life, the perfect fusion
But when the love turned sour

See the monkey peel the onion
See the monkey cry
He can feel his tears are flowin'
But he don't know why

He continues peeling faster
'Til the onion is no more
Now at last his cryin's over
But all he had is gone
Whatever for

You and I are always chasing
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
As we run in all directions
Nothing's quite the joy it seems

If I tell you that I love you

On the street below these walls
Where I used to walk
Now I can barely crawl
All this darkness rising tall
Lord shine a light for me
I'm waiting to be called

I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin

Take this river to the sea
Where the Delta flows
The tide is washing over me
Guide this soul to Heaven's door
Show me where tomorrow lies

Thank you for the gift
The freedom to wonder
In search of the light
Are we gonna let it shine
Forgiveness is the key
The perfect emotion
Will you show us the way
To peace in our time

Where the wild wind blows
The deserts are shiftin'
And the seed will grow
In the sands of time
From the darkest night
A new day is dawning
It's a long long way
To peace in our time

Tell me where can we find

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..

I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
