I Will Be There
Whenever the sunshine comes through
Whenever my thoughts turn to you
Whatever you want me to do
I will be there
Whether I crawl uphill
Try to not be through the mill
Just as long as I fit the bill
I will be there
If its on a lazy afternoon in summertime
And youre drinking champagne and wine
Anytime, I dont mind
Even if Ive got the blues
And after I pay all my dues
You decide to go for a cruise
I will be there
And if its on a lazy afternoon in summertime
And youre drinking champaigne and wine
Anytime, I dont mind
And even if Ive got the blues
Im tired of paying oh so many dues
And you decide to go for a cruise
Going to grab my razor and my suitcase and my toothbrush and my overcoat and my underwear
I will be there

Sometimes I Dont Mind
Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rain
Sometimes I dont mind the fun times
Sometimes theyre all the same
When Im thinking of you
Theres a fever around I dont know what to do
When Im drinking to you
I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues
Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rest
Sometimes I dont mind a good time
Sometimes I do whats best
When Im thinking of you
Theres a feeling inside which is long overdue
When Im drinking to you
I get down in the mouth tell me what can I do
Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the change
Sometimes I dont mind a fun time
To me its all the same
When Im thinking of you
Theres a fever around I dont know what to do
When Im drinking to you
I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues

Sunny afternoon
By: ray davies
1966
The taxmans taken all my dough
And left me in this stately home
Lazin on a sunny afternoon
And I cant even sail my yacht
Hes taken everything Ive got
All Ive gots this sunny afternoon
In the summertime...
Chorus:
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
Ive got a big fat momma tryin to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime...
My girlfriends run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin tales of parrotheads and parties
And now Im just sitting here
Sippin on this ice-cold beer
Lazin on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime...
Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well, give me two good reason why I ought to stay
cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazy on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime...
In the summertime...
In the summertime...
Chorus:
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
Ive got a big fat momma tryin to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazy on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime...
In the summertime...
In the summertime...
In the summertime...
Taxmans taken all my dough (in the summertime)
Gonna find that passport and outta here I go
(in the summertime)
--spoken:
Catch me a flight to st. somewhere and get out of this cold
Weather. go somewhere where no body knows my name
Gotta keep my mouth shut. try to go to confession at least once
A week. somewhere preferably south of the equator, I believe.
Where its summertime, where winter spends the summer. somewhere
Like that.

Everbody Gets The Blues
It dont matter if youre rich
It dont make no difference if youre poor
Simple things in life can make you mad to the core
It doesnt matter if youre young
Dont make no difference if youre old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach a pot of gold
Chorus:
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Aint no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
[repeat chorus]
Dont matter if youre fat
Dont matter if youre thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Dont matter if youre black
Dont matter if youre white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right

When I wake up in the afternoon
Which it pleases me to do
Dont nobody bring me no bad news
cause I wake up already negative
And Ive wired up my fuse
So dont nobody bring me no bad news
If were going to be buddies
Better bone up on the rules
cause dont nobody bring me no bad news
You can be my best of friends
As opposed to payin dues
But dont nobody bring me no bad news
No bad news

Dont you ever bring me no bad news

That you cannot refuse
So dont nobody bring me no bad news

Dont be cryin the blues

You can verbalize and vocalize
But just bring me the clues
But dont nobody bring me no bad news

Or in something you cant lose
But dont you ever bring me no bad news
If youre gonna bring me something
Bring me, something I can use

Peace Of Mind
Now if youre feelin kinda low bout the dues youve been paying
Futures coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin
Cant decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I understand about indecision
But I dont care if I get behind
People livin in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
Now youre climbin to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesnt take too long
Cantcha you see therell come a day when it wont matter
Come a day when youll be gone
I understand about indecision
But I dont care if I get behind
People li vin in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Now everybodys got advice they just keep on givin
Doesnt mean too much to me
Lots of people out to make-believe theyre livin
Cant decide who they should be.

Cruise Control
Where do you go
When the cold wind blows
What do you see
When youre staring down victory
Well, hey mister, this ones gonna pass you by if you let it fly
Let it go, oh
Youre not here, youre not in love...
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
You have no taste for
What is too known
You have to ignore something
Once it is shown
Well, hey mister, this ones gonna pass you by if you let it fly
Let it go, oh
Youre not here, youre not in love...
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
You cant get it back,
Its like a heart attack
Once you lose track,
You can never find the track back home
You lost a friend and you lost something great
You sold yourself
Just to save a little faith
Just like a razor with nothing left to cut through
You throw yourself on everyone around you
Oh youre invincble, you (blah blah blah blah blah)
You catch cleverness up around your heart
You were always like the rest of us
?
But youll be lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
You cant comprehend hunger
Before it begins
You cant appreciate good love until its too late
Well, hey mister, Im gonna pass you by if you let me fly
Let me go, oh
Youre not here, youre not in love,
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control

Well Im gonna raise a fuss
And Im gonna raise a holler
About workin all summer
Just tryin to earn a dollar
Well, I went to my boss
Who governs me
He said, no, dice, bud
You gotta work late
Sometime I wonder
What Im gonnna do
There aint no cure
For the summertime blues
Well, my mom and papa told me
Now you better earn some money
If one of you is gonna go
Ridin next sunday
Well, I didnt go to work
I told my boss I was sick
He said, you cant use the car
cause you didnt work a lick
Sometime I wonder
What Im gonnna do
There aint no cure
For the summertime blues
Gonna save two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem
To the united nations
Well, I went to my congressman
He sent me back a note
It said, id like to help you, hon
But youre too young to vote
Sometime I wonder
What Im gonnna do
There aint no cure

In The Summertime
I was in your presence for an hour or so
Or was it a day? I truly dont know.
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
By that soft and shining sea.
Did you respect me for what I did
Or for what I didnt do, or for keeping it hid?
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
Of everything you see?
In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
In the summertime when you were with me.
I got the heart and you got the blood,
We cut through iron and we cut through mud.
Then came the warnin that was before the flood
That set everybody free.
Fools they made a mock of sin,
Our loyalty they tried to win
But you were closer to me than my next of kin
When they didnt want to know or see.
In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
In the summertime when you were with me.
Strangers, they meddled in our affairs,
Poverty and shame was theirs.
But all that sufferin was not to be compared
With the glory that is to be.
And Im still carrying the gift you gave,
Its a part of me now, its been cherished and saved,
Itll be with me unto the grave
And then unto eternity.
In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
In the summertime when you were with me.

Good evening people, welcome to the show
Got somethin here I want you all to know
When laughin people bring on primal screams
You got to think of
What its gonna take to make your dreams

Do then you feel like the worlds coming down on you
You know that history repeats itself
But you just learned so by somebody else
You know you do, you gotta think up fast
You gotta figure what its gonna take to make it last
Make it

Too stinkin proud but youre gonna pay
If youre gone Ill get you anyway
Although you know what youve been going through
Your only dreams feel like a tattoo

Complicated
Youre never going to see what you like
Youre never going to wake up and change your mind
Youre never going to keep what you hold
You wont accomplish anything on your own
You cant have what you wanted
So make up your mind and come to your senses
Youll never win if you dont bend
Its not so complicated
If you decide to change your mind
Youll find your inundated
Youre never going to do what you say
Youll always try to make up another way
Youre never going to act on your own
Youre never going to see that youre all alone
And so youre here and you dont know
If you can choose the way to go
Its not about the way it is
So dont become a realist
Youve got time to make a choice
Dont think aloud but have a voice
And when you think the time is right
Dont ever be afraid to fight

Blues Leave Me Alone

Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Had the blues so bad, blues followed me all day long.
Blues, blues wont let me take my rest.
Blues, blues wont let me take my rest.
My mind is rambling like a wild geese out in the west.
Well, youre my all day steady, baby youre my midnight dream.
Yes, youre my all day steady, baby youre my midnight dream.
