The Babysitter
Is there anybody out there with a baby
That can cry as much as this one on my arm?
Seems there's nothing I can do to stop him screaming,
Seems there's nothing I can do to keep him calm.
I dosed him up with 'calpol ' like they told me,
The husband he was sure that it would work;
I put him on my shoulder and I patted him,
And patted it back up, I felt a berk.
I wondered if his nappy needed changing,
It did, I cleaned him up, and then felt sick;
Alas, it made no difference to his screaming,
The noise is really getting on my wick.
Is there anybody out there with the knowledge,
Is there anyone who knows what I can do?
Oh no! again, looks like it's baby versus 'calpol, '
A pint of it is pouring on my shoe.
His mother said he is a little darling,
With golden hair and eyes of china-blue;
You wouldn't think that such a little darling
Could cry as much as him, what can I do?
The time is really dragging, what a nightmare,
The kettle's boiling over on the hob;
I wish I'd never joined the bloomin' boy-scouts,
The next time they can shove their bob-a-job!

Newcastle,1936
In a humble little cottage
in a poorer part of town.
A tea kettle was whistling,
And the rain was pouring down.
Grandpa turned back from the window,
To where “mother” poured the tea.
“I’ve made some soda bread,
why don’t you come an sit with me? ”
Grandpa did as he was bidden-
A cup of tea was just the thing,
in a delicate bone china cup
which bore a picture of the King.
As a stranger in a strange realm
He had worked the mines for years.
He had put food on the table,
He had endured this vale of tears.
Now the world he knew was gone
And work was hard to find
Germany was rising
Which sons would war take this time?
Back when he was young and strong,
with no hostages to time.
He’d had the change to turn his back
on England’s harsher clime.
But then “mother’s” hair was golden
Her eyes a baby blue
Thoughts of leaving for America
paled next to thoughts of you.
He’d longed to travel far and wide
And see all sides of things.
He’d settled for his books and maps.
Some thoughts were childish dreams.
In a humble little cottage
in a poorer part of town.
A tea kettle was whistling,
And the rain was pouring down

Of days that I once knew
Those days that I spent with you

So please stop it right away

But I know that he lied

Hey mister

He kissed me and he walked away

He told me darling I love you
But baby baby you lied

Ruff Stuff
Bust up
No trust
Getting along
Best get clean, get on
She's gone
I'm gone
Ruff stuff
Something's wrong
Best get clean, get on
I'm spending all her money
On the best that I can buy
So I'm locked up
Trussed up
Shackles on
Best get clean for her
Jittery soup
Stuffed turkey
Cold cop
Best get clean for her
I'm hot and feeling funny
I'm sweating to get dry
Darling (come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Darling (come back!)
I've had enough of the ruff stuff, baby
Darling (come back!)
Been hangin' round in smack bogs, baby
Darling (come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Leave your fever, breather
Get off
Get off
Get on
Feeling weak
Downbeat two weeks of two
Need help for her
I'm sick with paranoia
It's the most that I can do
Hot meal
Warm bath
On my feet
Got it beat for you
Take a look
Early nights
Good books
Cook and clean for you
So go and call your mother
'Cause she's been using too
Darling (come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Darling (come back!)
I've had enough of the ruff stuff, baby
Darling (come back!)
Been hangin' round in smack bogs, baby
Darling (come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby

Still In Love With You (BBC Version)
Think I'll just fall to pieces
If I don't find something else to do
This sadness never ceases
I'm still in love with you
My head, it keeps on reeling
It's got me in a crazy spin
Darling, darling, darling
Is this the end?
Still in love with you
They say time has a way of healing
Dries all the tears from your eyes
But darling it's this empty feeling
My heart can't disguise
After all that we've been through
I try my best but it's no use
I guess I'll keep on loving you
Is this the end?
Now that it's all over, woman
There's something I think you should know
Baby, baby, think it over
Just one more time before you go
Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby
Help me see it through
I'm still in love with you

Just Cant Stay Away
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Here I am baby, right back in your arms, yeah
What is it bout your love that draws me to you
And though this is not the first time Ive ever wanted to get away, no
Oh, but the magic of your love just would not let me stray
So I find that I just cant stay away from you, baby, (from you) ooh, yeah
You see, I just cant stay away from you
Let me tell you Ive been through a lot of changes
You see, my momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh lord, you know they warned me
They said youre no good for me, but I just ignored it
Yes I did, cause I didnt have time, no time to sit around and decide what to do
You know, when someone controls your mind
Theres not much you can do
So you see thats why I (just cant) just cant stay away (stay away)
Oh, oh (from you) from you, oh baby
Hold me darling, hold (just cant) me darling, I cant stay away from (stay away) you
I dont wanna (from you) from you
Ive tried and Ive tried, and Ive tried, Ive tried and Ive tried, and Ive tried, baby
(when you come close to me, yeah)
I remember, I can remember somebody said it
They said it many, many, many (when you come close to me, yeah) years ago
That when love gets in your blood, youll find its hard to let go
And oh, I (just cant) baby, I (stay away)
Cant (from you) you see it in my eyes
cause Im wanting you, needing you, ho
Baby, I (just cant) I dont wanna (stay away)
Stay away (from you) from you
From you, you, you, you, you
Its not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me and i
(just cant) thats exactly why I (stay away)
Cant stay away (from you) from you
Oh cause Im wanting you, needing you, loving you
Baby, Im down on my knees, (I just cant) hold me darling
Im (stay away) begging you please, hold me, darling
(from you) cause I just cant stay from you, baby, no, no...

As a mother and wife!
Mum! ! ! Where's my shoe
Son! you're making me blue
Mum! ! ! Can I have a lolly?
Son! Stop mucking about in the trolley.
Mum! ! ! Can we go park…
Son! It's going, dark…

Yes, it is son!
No it isn't - Mum! ! !
There's no end too my life

O Love! Where are my socks…?
Darling… I don't know. Love, set the clocks
Love! Pass me the remote…
Yes, darling… Love! Can you make some tea?
O Love! ! Run me a bath
Yes.

He sees her seething wrath…
As finally she rests and sleeps at last.

Need Your Spell
Down into the dark alley way,
Oh baby! I know not where to you walk,
I am so mesmerized by your looks
Oh baby! lead me lead me,
I am so lost in the sounds of your footsteps,
Enchanted by the hair that swishes,
Maybe you are taking me down,
Maybe I can never get back
From this dark dark dungeon
Heaven or hell
Oh baby! as you lead,
My soles they bleed,
Me, I am high, I am low,
Oh! darling please please
Never let me go,
Captivated by your eyes,
Baby baby you haunt me,
Lead me, lead me, I will follow
From heaven to hell,
I am at your mercy,
Baby baby take my heart,
And if you leave me down here,
Never to come back darling,
Please remember this soul
Needs your spell to
Come back to life again.

Loves Worn Out Again
Written by gerry beckley and bill mumy, 1983
Found on your move.
Like you said, youd never get used to it
But its lost that old surprise
Time comes and goes so quiet now
Leaves emptiness behind our eyes
Oh, darling, if I could spare us
From an hour of the pain
Like you said, youd never get used to it
But loves worn out again
Winters here, bring the blankets out
To cover up the cold
Im dreamin of the good nights sleep
Like I used to know in days of old
You told me you felt all alone
But you did not tell me when
Like you said, youd never get used to it
But loves worn out again
Loves worn out again, darling
Its moved around the bend, darling
Theres no telling when
Well feel it again
Oh, maybe I cant see whats plainly in my view
Oh, I wish I was a better man, maybe its just you
But theres something goin on here
Like a wound that will not mend
Like you said, youd never get used to it
But loves worn out again
Loves worn out again, darling
Its moved around the bend, darling
Theres no telling when
Well feel it again
Loves worn out again, darling
Its moved around the bend, darling
Theres no telling when
Well feel it again
Loves worn out again, darling
Its moved around the bend, darling
Theres no telling when
Well feel it again ...

Who Could Be Lovin You Other Than Me
(willie hutchinson)
Though you hold me the same old way
Your tenderness, oh, is fading fast
And i keep waiting, anticipating
Which moment you will choose to be our last
And i'll be left with nothing but the thought of you, oh
So clearly, i can see that day coming
And when you're resting in the arms of someone new
And i'll be running around and searching for you
Wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?, baby, baby, baby
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
You used to tell me, very, very much how much you loved me
And i could always depend on you
You needed a friend so i took you in
But i get the feelin' now that, darling, we're through
Now, i wish there was something i could say or try to do
But i'm afraid it would only make matters worse
I can feel your love fading for me
'cause i know so well how it used to be
And i'm wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Oh, darling, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Now, i can give up material things
'cause they're not a necessity to me
But when it comes to givin' up the only love
I've ever known
I just don't think my heart would agree
Tell me, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Listen baby, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Darling, darling
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you better and sweeter than me?
Oh, where can you be?
Who could be loving you?
Oh, baby

Wasnt It Good
Wasnt it good
The way that I touched you late last night
Wasnt it good again in the mornings early light
Did you know when you closed that bedroom door
I betcha didnt know exactly what I had in store
Wasnt it good when you felt it coming through you
Wasnt it good that I knew just how to do you
Did you know you never had it like this before
I betcha didnt know youd be coming around
Back for more, more, more
Lets have a party, loves pouring out of my soul
Im your party hearty and let the future take control
Just remember my darling when theres time to spare
Youll be thinking about me, and our hot affair
Saying wasnt it good, wasnt it good so good
Did you know you never had it like this before
And I betcha didnt know youd be coming around
Back for more, more, more
Lets have a party, loves pouring out of my soul
Im your party hearty and let the future take control
Lets have a party well make the best of it while we can
God you wont be sorry,
Cause Im committed to pleasing my man, my man
Just remember my darling when theres time to spare
Ill be thinking about you, and our hot affair
Saying wasnt it good, wasnt it good so good
Do you love her, can you dig it, did I do it to you baby so good
Did you want it, can you dig it, do you love it baby, baby so good
Was it was it really good, you love it didnt you lover
God Im so ooh shoot, am I good

What About You
Theres something about you that I cant let go
Your spell is unbroken and it hurts to know
And I can feel you, and I can touch you, your memories surround me
What about you, little darling, what about you
Living without you is a long hard climb
And just when Im over it, I see a friend of mine
He said he saw you, and how hes sure you, youd like us still together
What about you, little darling, what about you
What about you, little darling, what about you
They said that we were dreamers, chasing some illusion
Something came between us, and broke it all in two
(solo)
I can feel you, I can touch you, I want us back together
So what about you, little darling, what about you
What about you, little darling, what about you
What about, what about you babe, tell me, what about you
Dont go, Im tellin you baby
What about you babe, oh baby...
