The Wheel & The Maypole
Ive got the plow if youve got the furrow
Ive got the rabbit if youve his burrow home
Ive got the pen if youve got the paper
Time is but clay and Ill see you and the wheel turn
You and the wheel turn
Chorus:
And if the pot wont hold our love
If the pot wont hold our love
If the pot wont hold our love
Then well dash it to the ground
And if the pot wont hold our love
If the pot wont hold our love
If the pot wont hold our love
Well build one bigger all around
Goes the wheel
Ive got the seed if youve got the valley
Ive got the big stick if youve aunt sallys head
Ive got the time if youve got the motion
Time is but clay and Ill see you and the wheel turn
You and the wheel turn
Chorus
Chorus 2:
Maypole
Maypole
Maypole youve spun me round and knocked me off my axis mundi
Maypole
Maypole
Maypole the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day
And everything decays
Yes, everything decays
Forest tumbles down to make the soil
Planets fall apart
Just to feed the stars and stuff their larders
And what made me think were any better
And what made me think wed last forever
Was I so naive?
Of course it all unweaves
Chorus 2
Pyramids and palaces to dust
Empires crumble in
Wedding cake begins to must and molder
And what made me think were any better
And what made me think wed last forever
Was I so naive?
Failing to perceive
Maypole (round goes the wheel)
Maypole (round goes the wheel)
Maypole (the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day)
Maypole (if the pot wont hold our love)
Etc.

Around The Maypole We Go
Come with me little one
Let's go and have some fun
The maypole is attracting the both of us
As well as many others
Let's grab a ribbon from the maypole
Let's ready ourselves
Let's get set to dance
And all around us
Many others are watching us and the
ones that have joined us to dance the
maypole
As we hear the music play
It's around the maypole we go
Passing by young ones and their
parents
Going over and under
Going under and over
Around the maypole we go
And I can see you smile little one
I can tell you're enjoying yourself
Being lost in the fun
Hearing us being cheered on
Seeing us being applauded
Being lost in the wonder of it all

Look What Youve Done
I can borrow, if youve got the time
I never needed anybodys help to make up my mind
You wont be here long
Enough to stand out
Youre on fi fi fire till everybody finds out
Look what youve done, done to my head
Look what youve done, look what youve done
Done to my head, youve got me thinking
Maybe I will and maybe I wont
Maybe I cant but God only knows
I wont be the puppet strings you hold on
Come tomorrow, its a sign of the times
Its coming down now
Shelter wont save you my friend
So sit dow till you learn
And sit down till you grow
You mi mi mi might turn if youd only let yourself go
Look what youve done, done to my head
Look what youve done, look what youve done
Done to my head,
Maybe I will and maybe I wont
Maybe I cant but God only knows
I wont be the puppet strings you hold on
I see you depend over and over on logic
I cant understand
Who kept you floating, my friend?
Kept your head above water
Rough seas hit you harder
I should have just let you drown
Maybe I will and maybe I wont
Maybe I cant, but God only knows
I wont be the puppet strings you hold on

Anything She Does
You know,
You decorate the garage walls,
Hang in peoples halls,
Live in secret drawers,
If you could look around you,
Wonder what youd see.
Fiction.
Thats all you really are I know,
Editorial dreams.
They cant make you real,
Tell me where you came from,
And where youre going to.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?
Oh you know,
Youve figured in some fantasies.
You would not believe,
What youve had to do,
Life goes on around you and all because of you.
No I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?
I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?
You know,
That in twenty years or more,
Youll still look the same
As you do today.
Youll still be a young girl,
When Im old and grey.
No - I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?
I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love? (no youll never...)

Maypole Mews
I started a song as I walked down maypole mews
She lives down there
She cant refuse to hearing my song
I started a song as I walked down maypole mews
She lives down there
She cant refuse to hearing my song
Maypole mews , wish I could see her
The memories me and she could share
But Im too shy to wish her good morning
But then I dont mind , shes always there
I started a song as I walked down maypole mews
She lives down there
She cant refuse to hearing my song
One thing I know that I can be sure of
Youre giving me your love , youre just the same
One thing , I know we dont know each other
I look at your window and stand in the rain , so
I started a song as I walked down maypole mews
She lives down there
She cant refuse to hearing my song
I started a song as I walked down maypole mews
She lives down there
She cant refuse to hearing my song

The Wheel
The wheel is turning and you cant slow down,
You cant let go and you cant hold on,
You cant go back and you cant stand still,
If the thunder dont get you then the lightning will.
Wont you try just a little bit harder,
Couldnt you try just a little bit more?
Wont you try just a little bit harder,
Couldnt you try just a little bit more?
Round, round robin run round, got to get back to where you belong,
Little bit harder, just a little bit more,
A little bit further than you gone before.
The wheel is turning and you cant slow down,
You cant let go and you cant hold on,
You cant go back and you cant stand still,
If the thunder dont get you then the lightning will.
Small wheel turn by the fire and rod,
Big wheel turn by the grace of god,
Every time that wheel turn round,
Bound to cover just a little more ground.
The wheel is turning and you cant slow down,
You cant let go and you cant hold on,
You cant go back and you cant stand still,
If the thunder dont get you then the lightning will.
Wont you try just a little bit harder,
Couldnt you try just a little bit more?
Wont you try just a little bit harder,
Couldnt you try just a little bit more?

Hold Out
I know that Im not crazy
If I were I wouldnt talk about it
Im homesick for your love
cause I know I cant live without it
If you need a guarantee Im gonna love you everyday
Say no more about it because youve got it in every way
Chorus
Im gonna hold out one more day
I wont let her take you away
Im gonna hold out somehow someway
I dont wanna see the day when you say goodbye
I wish I could get you out of my system
I say in my mind but my heart wont listen
I need a fix or two
cause Im in the habit of you
And if a guarantee is what you need
To keep me by your side
Say no more about it
Because my love I just cant hide
Chorus
Im gonna hold out one more day
I wont let her take you away
Im gonna hold out somehow someway
I dont wanna see the day when you say
Bridge
All you need in your life
All you need in your heart
All you need from a friend
Is love
All you need from your mother
All you need from your lover
All wee need from another
Is love
Im gonna hold out one more day
I wont let her take you away
Im gonna hold out somehow someway
I dont wanna see the day when you say goodbye

Hold On Hold Out
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on strong
The moneys in and the bets are down
You wont hold out long
They say youll fall in no time at all
But you know theyre wrong
Known it all along
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on still
If you dont see what your love is worth
No one ever will
Youve done your time on the bottom line
And it aint no thrill
Theres got to be something more
Keep a hold on still
You know what it is youre waiting for
Now you just hold on
Hold on hold out, hold on
Give up your heart and you lose your way
Trusting another to feel that way
Give up your heart and you find yourself
Living for something in somebody else
Sometimes you wonder what happens to love
Sometimes the touch of a friend is enough
Hold a place for the human race
Keep it open wide
Give it time to fall or climb
But let the time decide
Sometimes you wonder whats in this for you
But you wait, and you see
cause its all you can do
Just to hold on
Hold on hold out, hold on
For the countless souls beaten by their goals
Keep a hold on now
And the ones betrayed by the deals they made
Keep a hold on
If you hold your ground itll turn around
Keep a hold somehow
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on tight
Tonights the night
Wake up and turn on the light
You fight, and youre right--
Its gonna take all your might...
Youre a hold out
Well Im a hold out too
But it took me all this time to figure out
Something you already knew
Will love be true? can it pull you through?
How long? how strong?
Somethings depend on you
See-- I always figured I was going to meet somebody here
And I dont know why
Why should love come down and suddenly just sweep me away
I want to fly
But there are so many things in my way
Anyway...
I guess you wouldnt know unless I told you
But...
I love you
Well just look at yourself--
What else would I do?
Hold on--

Well, all I want is a love thats hot
Cant be sold, cant be bought
Yeah, love that dont try to be somethin its not
Well, all I need is a love thats real
None can rob and none can steal
Hey, love that moves like a drivin wheel
Well, all I want is drivin wheel
All I want is a drivin wheel
All round love my ideal
Well, all I want is love thats right
To hold onto with all my might
Hey, early in the mornin and late at night
Well, all I want is drivin wheel
All I want is a drivin wheel
Hey, all round love my ideal
All I want is a drivin wheel
All I want is a drivin wheel
Hey, all round love my ideal

Missing You
Ohhh
I had to put the photographs of you away
It hurts so much to see you smile at me
Since youve been away I feel an empty space
That will never be replaced wid memories
Ohhh
I cant believe that its over
But this sure is a shame
But luv was not enough to make you stay
So I had to say goodbye to yesterday
You went away
(chorus)
I tell myself that Im not missing you
(Im not missing you)
But my heart it jus wont listen (jus wont listen)
Even though I tell it to
I think about it all the time
Cant see to get you off my mind
And it jus wont seem to matter what I do
Cant stop missing you (missing you)
Im missing you
Never thought each breath was gonna hurt soo much
The heavy on my heart jus wont subside
The time we spent together was jus not enough
So I guess thats why I jus cant say goodbye..noo
Ohh
I cant believe that its over
That the ties have all been freed
Still Id give the world jus to have one more day
(one more day)
Jus a chance for me top hold u close and say
Please dont go away
(chorus)
I tell myself that Im not missing you
(Im not missing you)
But my heart it jus wont listen (wont listen)
Even though I tell it to
I think about it all the time (bout it all the time)
Cant see to get you off my mind
And it jus wont seem to matter what I do
Cant stop missing you
Time will heel my wings and let me fly
(far away)
Far above the rive that I cry,ohhh
High above the borrow that has kept me from the truth
Somewhere out there youve been missing me ike Ive seen missing you

Hold On To Me

You try to take things easy, but your mind out of control begins to wander
Will there ever come a time, this searching and this waiting will be over
See our love can come and go
But theres something you should know
Chorus:
If youre looking for somebody
Who will always be there for you
Hold on (Im the one)
If you really need somebody
Who will always take care of you
Hold on (hold on to me)
I was made to love you and the voices in my heart they keep me knowing
Youve got to give me time
All Im asking is the chance to prove my loving
I got this feeling going on, taking hold of me so strong

Youve turned my whole life around
Changed all that I do

I put my girl before my card
I believe that I can reach the stars

Wont hang out late night trying to clown
Right now I wanna settle down
Its all because of you...
Baby, baby
Lovin you

The Heart Shaped Sea
Babe its time to tell me that its over, tell me that its over, its plain to see. and this time we wont be starting over, no crying on your shoulder into the heart shaped sea. oh youve been
Nning from our door and youve been enchanted by the gracious voice of love.
Babe its time to look me in the eyes, time to say goodbye, its clear to me. and this time I wont let you down, you can turn around, Ill set you free. oh youve been a-sailing from our shore
Ouve been enchanted by someone from afar.
Babe its time to gather all the harvest, to pray before the winter and sail the heart shaped sea. oh youve been a-running from my love and youve been enchanted by the powers up above.

Dont want to kiss you but I need to

Hold On
By eric clapton and phil collins
Deep down in the dead of night I call out your name.
It seems now that nothing is right, theres nothing but pain.
If only Id told you I love you, now all I can do is...
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
Youve got to hold on, hold on to the feeling.
I dont feel right on this sad night.
Lord, Ive got thistles growing in my pillow.
If you could believe in me, then I could be strong,
And then we could set our love free and right all these wrongs.
Youll know when I touch you how much you still mean to me, baby.
Chorus
Hold on, hold on.
Just give me one more chance.
Please give me one more chance.
Dont tell me our romance is through.

Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
Youve got to hold on, hold on to the feeling.
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.

Spin the wheel
Five oclock in the morning
You aint home
I cant help thinking thats strange
Baby I just want you to know
I wont go through it again
Yes, those clouds are closing in

And I will not accept this as a part of my life
I will not live in fear of what may be
And the lessons I have learned...
I would rather be alone then watch you
Spinning that wheel for me

Youve got a thing about danger
Aint you getting what you want from me
Youve got a thing about strangers
Baby thats what we used to be
Youve got a thing about danger baby
I guess the hungry just cant see
One of these days
Youre gonna bring some home to me
Six oclock in the morning you aint phoned
I cant help thinking thats strange
It seems that everybody takes
Their chances
These days
Oh yeah, were standing in the rain

How can you love me
When you are playing with my life
You say give me time and Ill do better I swear
Give me time and Ill lead you back to despair
And I dont want to go back there

Only You
Hold me forever
Whisper the words Ive waited so long to hear
Loves sweet surrender
Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears
Lookin back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Chorus:
Only you
Youve got control
Only you
Youve got the key to my heart
Only you
Youve got control
Need your love, take me forever
Sad empty faces
Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt not knowing wed see things through
So in love, unaware of time
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever

Lookin back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache

Hold us together

Verse 1:
Hey, little sister
Did that boy make you cry, did he steal your heart away with a look in his eye
Are you feeling like your world is over now
Hey, little sister
Everything will be alright, what you feel is gonna change all your tears will dry
Time has a way of healing hearts that break somehow
Dont give up on love cause this ones let you down
Chorus:
Tonight youve lost lost the only one you want
Seems all youve got all youve got left is yesterday
But time wont stop (uh-uh)
And when all your crying stops tomorrow comes
Verse 2:
Hey, little sister youve gotta trust me (just a part of love)
Soon youll open up your eyes and the sun is gonna shine a light you never seen
Theres so much more to love than what youre feeling now
Someday youll find someone wholl never let you down
Chorus:
Tonight youve lost lost the only one you want
Seems all youve got all youve got left is yesterday (all youve got is yesterday)
But time wont stop (it dont stop)
And when all your crying stops tomorrow comes (tomorrow comes)
Bridge:
Its alright, hey little sister
And you gotta wake up and face up that breaking ups just a part of loving
So his kiss hit you hard it broke your heart but it dont mean nothing
You gotta wake up and face up that breaking ups just a part of loving
The hurt you feel, yes its real, but its gonna heal as a new days coming
Chorus:
Tonight youve lost lost the only one you want (one you want)
Seems all youve got all youve got left is yesterday (yesterday)
But time wont stop (time wont stop) (it wont stop, it wont stop)
And when all your crying stops tomorrow comes (and when all your crying stops)
Come on little sister
Tonight youve lost lost the only one you want (one you want)
Seems all youve got all youve got left is yesterday
