Smash Hits lyrics

Purple Haze was in my brain,
lately things don't seem the same,
actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky.

Purple Haze all around,
don't know if I'm coming up or down.
Am I happy or in misery
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me.

Purple Haze was in my eyes,
don't know if it's day or night,
you've got me blowing, blowing my mind

Alright,
now listen, baby

You don't care for me
I don'-a care about that
Gotta new fool, ha!
I like it like that

I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire [Repeat 4 times]

Listen here, baby
and stop acting so crazy
You say your mum ain't home,
it ain't my concern,
Just play with me and you won't get burned

I have only one itching desire

After all the jacks are in their boxes,
and the clowns have all gone to bed,
you can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
footprints dress in red.

And the wind whispers Mary.

A broom is drearily sweeping
up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
somewhere a King has no wife.

And the wind it cries Mary.

The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow

CAN YOU SEE ME? BEGGING YOU ON MY KNEES
WO YEAH
CAN YOU SEE? ME BABY
BABY PLEASE DON'T LEAVE
YEAH IF YOU CAN SEE ME DOING THAT
YOU CAN SEE IN THE FUTURE OF A THOUSAND YEARS

CAN YOU HEAR ME?
CRYIN' ALL OVER TOWN
YEAH BABE
CAN YOU HEAR ME BABY?
CRYING CAUSE YOU PUT ME DOWN
WHAT'S WITH YA
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME DOING THAT
YOU CAN HEAR A FRAIT TRAIN COMING GROM A THOUSAND MILES

AH YEAH

[1st verse [Oo-backing vocals on each line]]
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand
Alright. I'm goin down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Yeah,! I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Huh! And that ain't too cool.

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my herb
None were level on the mind
Nobody of it is worth

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through that
And this is not our fate

STONE FREE

EVERYDAY IN THE WEEK I'M IN A DIFFERNET CITY
IF I STAY TOO LONG PEOPLE TRY TO PULL ME DOWN
THEY TALK ABOUT ME LIKE A DOG
TALKIN' ABOUT THE CLOTHES I WEAR
BUT THEY DON'T REALISE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO'S SQUARE

HEY!
AND THAT'S WHY
YOU CAN'T HOLD ME DOWN
I DON'T WANT TO BE DOWN I GOTTA MOVE
HEY

STONE FREE DO WHAT I PLEASE
STONE FREE TO RIDE THE BREEZE
STONE FREE I CAN'T STAY

You jump in front of my car when you,
you know all the time
Ninty miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive
You tell me it's alright, you don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive

You're just like crosstown traffic
So hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I don't need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down

Manic Depression's touching my soul,
I know what I want,
but I just don't know how to go about getting it.

Feeling, sweet feeling
drops from my finger, fingers
Manic Depression's captured my soul.

Woman so willing the sweet cause in vain,
you make love,
you break love,
it's-a all the same when it's...
when it's over.

Music sweet music,
I wish I could caress, caress, caress.

OH REMEMBER
THE MOCKIN' BIRD MY BABY BOUGHT
HE USED TO SING FOR HIS SUPPER BABY
YES, HE USE TO SING FOR HIS DINNER BABE
HE USED TO SING SO SWEET
BUT A SINCE MY BABY LEFT ME
HE AIN'T SANG A TOON ALL DAY

OH REMEMBER THE BLUE BIRDS AND THE HONEY BEES
THEY USED TO SING FOR THE SUNSHINE
YES, THEY USED TO SING FOR THE HONEY
THEY USED TO SING SO SWEET
BUT A SINCE MY BABY LEFT ME

AH YEAH
THERE'S A RED HOUSE OVER YONDER
THAT'S WHERE MY BABY STAYS
LORD THERE'S A RED HOUSE OVER YONDER
LORD THAT'S WHERE MY BABY STAYS

I AIN'T BEEN HOME TO SEE MY BABY
IN NINETY-NINE AND ONE HALF DAYS
WAIT MINUTE SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE

Foxy, Foxy
You know you are a cute little heart breaker
Foxy yeah,
And you know you are a sweet little lover maker
Foxy

I wanna take you home, yeah
I won't do you no harm
You've got to be all mine, all mine
ooh Foxy Lady
Foxy, Foxy

Now-a I see you come down on the scene
oh Foxy
You make me wanna get up and-a scream
Foxy, oh baby listen now
I've made up my mind,
