Ill Take Love
(words & music by fuller / barkon)
Some people think that pot of gold
Is all they ever want to hold
But theres a treasure, I think more of
Measure for measure .. Ill take love
Some people think that their success
Is all they need for happiness
But theres a pleasure, I think more of
Measure for measure .. Ill take love
Pound for pound oh yeah and
Ounce for ounce love is all that really counts
So let them have their wealth and fame
Eat caviar and drink champagne
Youre all the treasure Im dreaming of
Measure for measure .. Ill take love
Pound for pound oh yeah and
Ounce for ounce love is all that really counts
So let them have their wealth and fame
Eat caviar and drink champagne
Youre all the treasure Im dreaming of
Measure for measure .. Ill take love
Ill take love, Ill take love
Ill take love, Ill take love

Mischief comes by the pound and goes away by the ounce.
We Let the Illness In
At first, we both make contact
With mucus membranes,
And we let the illness in.
The fevers we may contract
Fester in our brains,
And we let the illness in.
We won't know how to react
While writhing in pain,
And we let the illness in.
Yet, such is the fate we pick,
Choosing to be sick,
And we let the illness in.

A pound of care will not pay an ounce of debt.
An ounce of discretion is better than a pound of knowledge.
An ounce of discretion is worth a pound of wit.
From a pound of talk, an ounce of understanding.
Better an ounce of happiness than a pound of gold.
A pound o' care will no pay an ounce of debt.
An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.
An ounce of mother is worth a pound of priests.
An ounce of a mother's wit is worth a pound of schoolgirl's wit.
An ounce of fortune is worth a pound of forecast.
An ounce of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition.
