Become A Robot
Heres hoping you dont (hoping you dont)
Become a robot (clang clang)
Clang, clang, whoops, too late
Heres hoping you dont (hoping you dont)
Become a robot (clang clang)
Clang, clang, whoops, too late
Lets stick together cause were number 8*
Lets stick to numbers cause were great*
Heres hoping you dont (hoping you dont)
Become a robot (clang clang)
Clang, clang, whoops, too late
Hey!
Wait!
Heres hoping you dont (hoping you dont)
Harbor a deathwish* (help help)
Help, help, help yourself
Heres hoping you dont (hoping you dont)
Harbor a deathwish* (help help)
Help, help, help yourself
Hip, hip, horrific are the words we sing
Hip, hip, horrific is our thing
Heres hoping you dont (hoping you dont)
Become a robot (help help)
Help, help, help, help
Help, help, help
Notes
*these lines are disputable. the liner notes to then: the earlier years claim that the lines in the first bridge are as written here, and that in the second verse the line is harbor a wish
Quot; many fans claim to hear harbor a deathwish or harbor a penguin, but deathwish seems the most likely. others hear number a/cause were gray
E first bridge rather than what is printed here.

Getting In My Way
I wish I could forget you, but I wont
I wish I loved another, but I dont
Its just the same, day after day
Your memory keeps getting in my way
But Im hoping I will be alright
But I dont even sleep at night
I close my eyes I see your face
Your memory keeps getting in my way
Bridge:
I dont know why I cant forget you
I dont see why I should let you
Keep messing up my mind with all those thoughts of yesterday
Your memory keeps getting in my way
Its easy for someone to lie
Im saying Ill forget you and Ill try
Heres hoping that I will someday
Your memory keeps getting in my way

Heres Lookin At You Kid
(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
The kid in the valleys got an attitude
Lean and mean, with nothin to lose
He aint uptight, he dont care no more
The girls start screamin as he hits the floor
The time is now, while the night is young
Youre on the road, wanting to run
You got to stop boy, it aint just talk, no way
So turn up the heat, and let it rock
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Look at me, I got my dancin shoes
Theres lots of women, which one do I choose
Ill place a wager, with a ten dollar bill
If the blond dont get me, then the brunette will
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid, alright
Better not tell me that Im unkind
But I dont wanna hear whats on your mind, no way
I dont need trouble, that was yesterday
I came to party, I came to play, yeah
So heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you (heres lookin at you), heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid

Comin' For X-Mas?
I got your
Christmas card
And you know
It warms my heart
Just to think of all the cheer
We could share if you were here
I made my
Christmas list
That i'll give
To my boy St.Nick
And I hope he hooks, hooks me up
Cause I plan a special Christmas for us
I was hoping that you might be
Comming for Christmas
I was hoping that surly by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be comming
And I hope that your bringing something for me
Now we'll chill
Christmas eve
I cant wait
For my moms to leave
We'll snuggle, i'll turn down the lights
And give our gifts if the timing is right
I was hoping that you might be
Comming for Christmas
I was hoping that surly by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be comming
And I hope that your bringing something for me
For know I will
And I hope that Santa wont be late
Cause I dont want no presents
See im too old for toys
I just want my baby
She's my one and only truly one and only she's my only
I was hoping that you might be
Comming for Christmas
I was hoping that surly by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be comming
And I hope that your bringing something for me

All By Myself
I can see the anger
And I surely feel
All the passion, baby gone astray
Why are we divided
So dissatisfied
Does it matter what we do or say
I cant see the wisdom
Never gonna give in
When the love is not so far away
I was hoping for more
Im still hoping for sure
Isnt anybody dreamin
Isnt anybody thinking
Or am I all by myself
Isnt anybody teachin
Why is everybody preachin
Am I all by myself
Dont you feel it lately
That youre the only one
Who can see through bitter lies right here
Like everybody knows it
But no one seems to care
As if theres something in the truth we fear
Arent you hoping for more
Im still hoping for sure
Isnt anybody dreamin
Isnt anybody thinking
And all by myself
Isnt anybody lovin
Isnt anybody huggin
Am I all by myself, tell me, tell me
Am I all by myself
All by myself
Come on everybody teach it with me
Am I all by myself
Dont wanna be all by myself
Come on everybody preach it with me

Remember Me
Written by christine mcvie.
All you have to do
Is look at me that way
You dont have to say
Whats going on in your heart
And deep in the night
When I think you wont drive me crazy
Im just hoping that maybe
Youre feeling the same way to
I want you and I need you
I dont know what else to say
(dont you) dont you think its time (dont you) dont you think its time (dont you)
Dont you think its time that you remember me
So Im begging you
Not to leave me up in the air
It just wouldnt be fair
Cause you know the way
I feel about you
It may not be love
Or an everlasting feeling
But you sending me reeling
With the very mention of your name
I want you and I need you
I dont know what else to say
(dont you) dont you think its time (dont you) dont you think its time (dont you)
Dont you think its time that you remember me
Remember me...

Im Looking At You But Im Talking To Myself
Im looking at you but Im talking to myself
Looking straight at you but Im talking to myself
Talking to myself
cause I still can remember
Words that didnt sound so well planned
What is wrong with me?
You dont have to pretend to understand
Every moment, I am thinking to myself
It seems so different, I am thinking to myself
Thinking to myself
And I dont want to face it
Why is everything so past tense?
What is wrong with me?
This just dont seem to make any sense
And Im looking at you but Im talking to myself
Looking straight at you but Im talking to myself
It wasnt over, I was hoping to myself
Weve got forever, I was hoping to myself
Hoping to myself
And for a shred of a second
I thought we could still change our fate
What is wrong with me?
I can see its already way too late
cause youre looking at me but youre talking to
Yourself
Looking straight at me but youre talking to yourself
And Im looking at you but Im talking to myself
Looking straight at you but Im talking to myself

Staying Together
You cant go boy
Weve been over it a hundred times but this ones different
This time Im not asking what you think
Im telling you
Were staying together
Whether you like it or not
Here we go!
Verse 1:
If you thought that I would get up and go
Oh baby got something you should know
I got one thing on my mind
Thats staying together
Oh and Ill tell you boy, it just isnt right
I wont say goodbye without a fight
cause you and me are staying together
Chorus:
Dont you say goodbye to me boy
Theres something you should know
Heres love before your eyes
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
Its like I told you before
Lets stay together
Verse 2:
Oh, if you thought that I would stand by your side
You know me boy, I never lied
Cause you and me are staying together
Oh it was so much more than love at first sight
Please say youll stay, say you might
Then say we are staying together
Chorus
Bridge:
Cause I dont know baby what youve done, dont know
(I only know baby, I only know)
You were always the only one
(oh please dont go baby, oh please dont go)
Dont take my heart away from me
And leave me out in the cold baby
(out in the cold baby)
Cause youre the only one, cause youre the only one
Who could ever hold me
Now heres love
Ooo ooo
Heres love before your eyes
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
So lets stay together
Dont you say it, dont you say it, dont you say it
Dont you say goodbye to me boy
(heres love) its right before your eyes
Dont even think about it!
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
Its like I told you before
Lets stay together

Better Things
Heres wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the doubt and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.
Heres hoping all the days ahead
Wont be as bitter as the ones behind you.
Be an optimist instead,
And somehow happiness will find you.
Forget what happened yesterday,
I know that better things are on the way.
Its really good to see you rocking out
And having fun,
Living like you just begun.
Accept your life and what it brings.
I hope tomorrow youll find better things.
I know tomorrow youll find better things.
Heres wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the drudge and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.
I know youve got a lot of good things happening up ahead.
The past is gone its all been said.
So heres to what the future brings,
I know tomorrow youll find better things.
I know tomorrow youll find better things.

A Dream For Us
Astley/roberts
Lately Ive been sleeping
Far too long in bed
Ive been dreaming of you lover
Oh the things inside my head
I dont want to wake up
Im scared to break the spell
Oh Im sleeping like a baby
I hope you sleep so well
You know Im hoping, hoping
(bridge)
I know theres a dream for us
I know theres a dream for us
I know theres a dream for us,
Been on our minds
I know theres a dream for us
I know theres a dream for us
I know theres a dream for us,
Were gonna find
(chorus)
I know theres a dream for us
I believe its true
In a word, love you
And Im hoping our dream comes true
You know Im hoping, hoping
Miracles and moonbeams, wishes on a star
These are things I dream of, I know it sounds bizarre
I see familiar faces, or is it dj vu
The one recurring vision
Is a dream I have of you
You know Im hoping, hoping
(repeat bridge)
Come on now baby
(repeat chorus)
When you find someone you find someone you love
You know you cant believe it
When you find someone you know you cant deceive it
Your love takes you high
I know theres a dream for us
Im sure theres a dreams for us

Submarine Ladies
Written by gerry beckley, 1973
Found on hat trick, heard, and highway.
Why do you laugh at me when you know I really care
You sometimes act as though Im not even there
And yet if you did to me the things I do to you
I would surely say were through
Dont you know that I love you
I was hoping youd love me, too
Dont you know that I love you, love you
If I seem to you indiffrent once or twice
Its because I was feelin quite that way
And the time I hung up the phone and didnt speak again
Well, its funny to look back then
Didnt I love you (love you)
Didnt I love you all the time
Didnt you need me (need me)
Wasnt it a long, hard climb
Dont you know that I love you
I was hoping youd love me, too
Dont you know that I love you, love you

Black Riders Came From the Sea
Black riders came from the sea.
There was clang and clang of spear and shield,
And clash and clash of hoof and heel,
Wild shouts and the wave of hair
In the rush upon the wind:
Thus the ride of sin.

Tatters
Some couples live in harmony
Some do not
Some couples yell and scream
Some do not
But what you said was something
That I cant forget
It echoes in my head
Like a bullet made of lead
Some people yell and scream
And some do not
Some people sacrifice their lives
And some do not
Some people wait for sleep
To take them away
While others read books endlessly
Hoping problems will go away
I know youre hoping everything
Works out
Neither one of us is
The type who shouts
You sleep in the bedroom
While I pace up and down the hall
Our baby stares at both of us
Wondering which one of us to call
I guess its true that not
Every match burns bright
I guess its true
Not all that I say is right
But what you said still bounces
Around in my head
Who thought this could happen to us
When we first went to bed
Im told in the end
That none of this matters
All couples have troubles
And none of this matters
But what you said
Still echoes in my head
And Im still in the hallway
Downstairs sleeping alone instead
I know you dont care
But heres my last thought
Not that it matters
But heres the last thing I thought
Our little thing is lying
Here in tatters
And you my dear
Dont have any manners
Sad to leave this way
To leave it all in tatters
Saddening to leave this way
To leave it all in tatters
I suppose that we all could say
That nothing of it matters
Still its sad
To see everything in tatters

I Keep Hoping
As I gather my thoughts
With the pieces of my heart
Tell me, how long is forever
Im not afraid and I wont be torn apart
Weve had our time together
Now I make my new beginnings
Ill start again at any cost
Ive learned a lot from losing you
But Ive got nothing if Im lost
And I keep hoping
And I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know Ill be strong enough
Yeah, I keep hoping
I believe in faith and trust
Im gonna find a way
There are better days still ahead of us
I keep hoping
Now this candle burns low
It wont last through the night
But Ive found peace
And I know its all right
I try to understand
Whats been missing in my life
Between the darkness and the daylight
No Im not expecting miracles
Ive got my doubts like any other one
Ive learned a lot from losing you
But Ive got nothing if Im lost
And I keep hoping
I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know Ill be strong enough
And I keep hoping
I believe, I believe in faith and trust
There are better days, better days, around of us now, still ahead of us, aaah
I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping
I keep hoping and praying baby, oooh
And I still believe in love
I keep hoping, I keep hoping baby, oooh
Im gonna find a way
I keep hoping, I keep hoping baby
There are better days, ooh, better days
I keep hoping, hoping and praying
And I still believe in love
I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping . . .

Go Away
Well I think of you when I fantasize
The best I ever had
And I think of you when Im drivin
Myself completely mad
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
Walkin on the footbridge
High above the clouds
Listenin to your yesterday
Didnt make a sound
Dazzled by your sweet lips
Touchin on me
Here comes trouble
Cant you see?

(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)

Why dont we go away?
Well I think of you when I dramatize
The things we never did
And I think of you when Im flyin
Or when Im feelin just like a kid

Why dont we go away?

Victoria Gardens
Youre looking and listening and hoping
That things are changing for the better
Youre trying to see if what youre teaching is the truth sir
Youre looking and listening and hoping
That things will change for better
Dont want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother
I just left victoria gardens
And walked through cardboard city land
A burnt out star was asking
How would I like to shake his hand
I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Were looking and listening and hoping
That things are changing for the better
Dont want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother
I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
(only time can tell)
Its a bloody fine situation
That we find ourselves in
He said something I couldnt mention (here)
And we laughed with him again
I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
And trying to see if what youre teaching is the truth sir
She said its for the good of us all
(of us all, of us all, of us all)
Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
Dont want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother
Im not so sure
(sure, sure, sure)
And now it is early evening
I look across grey leicester square
A large and silent crowd were walking
Said they had every right to be there

Just One Of Those Things
As dorothy parker once said
To her boyfriend, fare thee well
As columbus announced
When he knew he was bounced,
It was swell, isabel, swell
As abelard said to eloise,
Dont forget to drop a line to me, please
As juliet cried, in her romeos ear,
Romeo, why not face the fact, my dear
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
If wed thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
Wed have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Heres hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
If wed thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
Wed have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Heres hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
Just one of those things

El Capitan
By the harbour I harbor
The strangest memories
Older than I could ever be
Stranded in nostalgia
So tonight i'll try harder
But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me
In a cast that's taking places
I'm not sure of where I want to be
Stand up, stand up and stand out
Applaud El Captain
And jump up to cheers from the crowd
Stand up, stand up and stand out
And I hope you take your camera
To photograph my tears as they hit the ground
No one even listens
The same way that no one ever laughs
I'm taking the car out of the snow
I'm wondering where the summer went to
Circled by your secrets
I'm hoping that they don't include me
At least I'm in good company
Because there's no one else around except me
Stand up, stand up and stand out
Applaud el captain
Just to watch the world slow itself
Stand up, stand up and stand out
And I hope you took your camera
The silence makes the loudest sound
It seems far too easy to say the same things
I'll choose my own way to use my life up
And finally I found a new way to say the same things in imaginary ways
I use my life up
You were looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future
Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
Through your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future
Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future
Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future
