Why Does It Make You Weep
Take what you value,
And put it in a sack.
Leave it where it's at,
And don't look back.
Why does it make you weep?
When you made it were you sleeping?
Take what you value,
And put it in a sack.
Leave it where it's at,
And don't look back.
Look around and see what's on the streets.
That reality you made to keep.
Why does it make you weep?
When you made it were you sleeping?
Look around and see what's on the streets.
That reality you made to keep.
Why does it make you weep?
When you made it were you sleeping?
Take what you value,
And put it in a sack.
Leave it where it's at,
And don't look back.
Why does it make you weep?
When you made it were you sleeping?
Take what you value,
And put it in a sack.
Leave it where it's at,
And don't look back.
Look around and see what's on the streets.
That reality you made to keep.
Why does it make you weep?
When you made it were you sleeping?
Take what you value,
And put it in a sack.
Leave it where it's at,
And don't look back.
Unstrap and remove those shackles.
It's an addiction you've got to detach...
And avoid interaction.
And avoid interaction.
And avoid interaction.
And avoid interaction.

Faker
Can you come take this back...
This sadness that you wrapped.
And kept in a sack,
That seeps out this madness.
Can you give up on a hate...
You made from your mistakes.
Prefabricated to induce
A 'paradise' based on a fluke.
On lies you had us both go through!
You're a faker!
Heartbreaker...
Of the fools you make!
Faker!
Such a sick...
Degenerate!
Faker!
I want to leave you with this,
'See my balled fist?
I want to give you some of it! '
You're a faker!
Heartbreaker...
Of the fools you make!
Faker!
Such a sick...
Degenerate!
Faker!
I want to leave you with this,
'See my balled fist?
I want to give you some of it! '

This sadness that you wrapped.
Faker!
I want to leave you with this,
'See my balled fist?
I want to give you some of it! '
You're a faker!
Can you give up on a hate?
Heartbreaker.
Of the fools like me you make!

I want to leave you with this,
'See my balled fist?
I want to give you much of it! '
Can you come take this back...
This sadness that you wrapped,
And kept in a sack!
That seeps out this madness.

Como La Lluvia En El Cristal (Watercolours In The Rain)
Never looked back on a love affair.
I never spent minutes on history,
it made me sad, it made me so sad.
And in no time no time at all
a change has begun and the name is you,
I feel strange, you've made my life strange.
Cos baby when you get close to me
I say there's a certain chemistry
Come back before you leave.
I haven't got room for a broken heart.
Come back before you leave.
You shouldn't go at all,
you shouldn't go at all
So many years and so many nights,
I still can recall oh the way that you move when you dance,
do you want to dance?
We've had our habits and attitudes,
you make me remember the power when everything's right,
please stay the night.
Cos baby when you get close to me
there's something about you I really need
Come back before you leave...
Babe, come back before you leave,
I'll be the air for you when you breathe,
I'll be the raising sun.
Close the door, let's make love,
all God's angels sing above into the rising sun.

You should have known better
Do you think because I made you strong
I will not make you weak
Do you think because I made you laugh
I will not make you weep
Do you think because I lifted you up
I will not bring you down
Do you think because I made you the best
I will not remove your crown

Weep Day
I never went to the tropical island
Though everybody said they saw me there
And it wasnt me you punched a hole in
At the west german protest march
Simultaneous events dont happen
We are isolated temporally
And a part is never called the whole thing
Though it bothers us to know its so
Every man is made of two opinions
Every woman has a second half
And its samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man (samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man)
Yes, its samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man (samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man)
I didnt write the words you hear me singing (didnt write the words you hear me singing)
I didnt sing the line before this one (didnt sing the line before this one)
You are not the one I was addressing (you are not the one I was addressing)
That person took a train to africa (africa)
Where he met the consulate from belgium
Who is now a buddhist in a cave
Who is pitching for the oakland raiders
Striking out the batter she became
Every man is made of two opinions
Every woman has a second half
And its samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man (samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man)
Yes, its samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man (samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man)
Yes, its samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man (samba time for tambo and weep day for urine man)
Weep day for urine man (weep day for urine man)
Weep day for urine man (weep day for urine man)

Weep For The Child
Hey you, do you ever cry - for the child?
Falling in love with strangers, feeling incomplete, hey thats me
Some are fly, some are shy, some are acting like they own the street, ooh
One minute were together then the next youre acting really cool, so cool
You can play me any way but dont ever treat me like a fool, no no no
Sometimes so hateful
Sometimes so shy
Dont ask me why
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand
Were twisting the style
Aint no need to understand
Dont leave me alone to make it tonight
No dont go
Wearing your desperation wrapped me on your sleeve, yes you do
Youve got everything you want but you just cant get the things that you need, oh no no no
Sometimes you fake it
Sometimes you lie
Dont ask me why
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
Were twisting the style
Aint no need to understand
Dont leave me alone to make it tonight, no no no
Sweet baby
You never understood
You never treat me right
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
Were twisting the style
Aint no need to understand, do you understand?
Dont leave me alone to make it tonight, yeah
Weep for the child
Weep
Weep
Weep
In your heart
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
Were twisting the style
Aint no need to understand, no need
Dont leave me alone to make it
Alone to make it
Alone to make it tonight

they took it all away from me

my sweet child
if words could give
i would give it all

i would give it all back to your heart

Gods Children
Man made the buildings that reach for the sky
And man made the motorcar and learned how to fly
But he didnt make the flowers and he didnt make the trees
And he didnt make you and he didnt make me
And he got no right to turn us into machines
Hes got no right at all
cause we are all gods children
And he got no right to change us
Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all
Dont want this world to change me
I wanna go back the way the good lord made me
Same lungs that he gave me to breath with
Same eyes he gave me to see with
Oh, the rich man, the poor man, the saint and the sinner
The wise man, the simpleton, the loser and the winner
We are all the same to him
Stripped of our clothes and all the things we own
The day that we are born
We are all gods children
And they got no right to change us
Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made
Oh, the good lord made us all
And we are all his children
And they got no right to change us
Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all
Yeah, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all

Promises Are Made To Be Kept
Today I have made myself this one promise...
Not to make anymore.
Promises are made to be kept.
And why should I make them to myself?
Of late...
I have not made a promise,
I have yet to keep that was met.
I am getting older.
And those who are doing this,
Know how moody the elders get.
And promising myself,
I will not get upset...
Is as worthless as those attitudes I get into.
To then forget the reason 'why' I am so cranky.
Or who it was I promised,
What was done whether consciously or not...
Someone will have reason to regret.
And often it was me on the receiving end!
Yes.
So today,
Without delay...
I have made myself this one promise,
Not to make anymore.
Promises are made to be kept.
And why should I make them to myself?
Especially,
Since I promise myself to remember...
Where I leave my keys.
And it takes me at least an hour to find them.
Only to realize...
All that time they have been in my pants pocket.
'OH.
Oh...I...uh.'
So today,
Without delay...
I have made myself this one promise,
Not to make anymore.
It's embarrassing enough,
To accuse someone else...
Of stealing them.
Although I can display,
Awesome humility!
And having the ability to use my advancing age,
Is not beneath me.
Whatever works...
Not to appear to be thought of as a jerk!
'You know...
I thought that was change in my pocket,
I was going to ask you if you needed.
Before I let those 'keys' let me lose my concentration!
If you're going to be here for a while,
I'll be right back!
You need anything while I'm out? '

You Know What I Mean
Just as I thought I'd made it
You walk back into my life
Just like you never left
Just as I learned to be lonely
You call up to tell me
You're not sure if you're ready
Oh but ready or not
You'll take what you've got
And leave
Oh leave me alone
With my heart
I'm putting the pieces back
Together again
Just leave
Oh leave me alone
With my dreams
I can do without you
You know what I mean
I wish I could write a lovesong
To show you the way I feel
Seems you don't like to listen
Oh but like it or not
You'll take what you've got
And leave
Oh leave me alone
With my heart
It's broken in two and I'm not
I'm not thinking too straight
Just leave
Oh leave me alone
With my dreams
You've taken everything else
You know what I mean

Cry
(eric carmen/scott mccarl)
Cry if you feel lonely
And you know you cant make the grade
Now that you realize you shouldve stayed
And if you feel the way I do
I want you to cry your eyes out
Im cryin too
Never thought Id never see the day
Id be happy to set you free
But you made a fool out of me
Now youre crying, baby, take me back
But I never wanted you to leave
But you made a fool out of me
You made a fool out of me
Cry if you feel lonely
And you know you cant make the grade
Now that you realize you shouldve stayed
And if you feel the way I do
I want you to cry your eyes out

Beware: The Dog
Beware the dog because he's lurking the streets.
Do not let him get between your sheets.
He will do his business, and leave his seed behind.
He will leave you losing your mind.
Thoughts of how cute and sweet he was that night,
Will leave you thinking what you did was right.
He will make you feel as if you were the only one.
When in reality he was headed to the next when ya'll were done.
He's a stray, he belongs to no one.
He's dirty and trashy and sleeps where ever.
A house dog, never.
A street dog, forever.
His eyes will lie; tell you that you have his heart,
But truth is you don't even have a part.
You can take him in and clean him up,
But before you know it he's back rolling in the dirt.
Old dog, new tricks they don't mix.
New dog, old tricks still don't make a fix.
A dog is a dog no matter what the breed.
They're only after what they want and not what they need.
Sweet girl, bad dog that's trouble from the start.
Don't give him nothing especially not your heart.
They lie, they cheat, and sleep around,
But they'll come home when they're covered in fleas.
Beware the dog, because he's lurking the streets.

When You Finish Your Swim In the Moat
When you finish,
Your swim in the moat...
Cross that draw bridge.
Lock it and leave.
Make sure its up to dust and rust.
And take your fantasies...
But leave my key!
You live in castles in the air too much!
Not a bill you pay,
To keep this groove here going.
You have criticized my efforts enough!
And what you think attracts...
Pack it up and carry it on your back.
Find another you can leech,
And sack!
When you finish,
Your swim in the moat...
Cross that draw bridge.
Lock it and leave.
Make sure its up to dust and rust.
And take your fantasies...
But leave my key!
And when you cross that draw bridge.
Lock it and leave.

'Cuz, I got your letter today
Pack my bags and I'm on my way
So, don't you weep no more
Don't you weep no more
Dry your eyes
Don't you shed no tears

So, put away your fears
Cuz, I know I once done you wrong
I want to say I'm sorry
And I'm comin' back home
So, don't you weep no more
Don' t you weep no more
I hear your voice in the wind
And I feel your tears in the rain
Shadows of night are falling
Can't you hear me call your name

Who I Am
You don't like my hair,
You don't like my dress.
You think I'm wrong;
That you know best.
Think you know better.
Think you got it all.
And right now,
My back's against the wall.
You say I should be here;
But I really should be there.
Come to think of it now,
I should be nowhere.
You say how I should live:
What, when, where, how.
But I'm telling you,
Back off right now.
I was made to praise God,
To live, love, and be free.
God made me:
He made me to be me.
Twasn't to be,
Chasing the stars.
Twasn't to be,
Who you are.
I was made to be me,
With none other alike.
So take a hint
And take a hike.
Made to praise,
Made to live,
Made to love,
Made to give.
Made like no other,
Made by the great I AM.
Just a unique worm,
That's who I am.
So take a deep breath and swallow...
This is who I am.

Sorry Suzanne
(Geoff Stephens/Tony Macauley)
Single release february 1969
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me I was wrong
and I knew I was all along
forgive me
I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
you know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne.
I could never ever justify
all the tears I've made you cry
but I do regret it, my Suzanne
You gotta believe me
I was looking round for someone new
what a foolish thing to do
all the time I knew it
heaven knows what made me do it girl
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me
I was wrong
and I knew I was all along all along
forgive me
{Interlude}
I'm truly sorry Suzanne.
If you would only take me back again
things would be so different then
what I wouldn't give for
one more chance to live for you Suzanne.
I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne believe me
I was wrong
and I knew I was all along all along
forgive me
I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne for ever hurting you
you know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry Suzanne.

Wonderworld
We freely speak of dreams
We marvel at what they conceal
But in my wonderworld
Each sleeping vision is so real
So I believe and hope
That all the things I see
May one day bring
Such truth and peace
As we can feel
Free from this waking world
Deep in sleeps mystery
My will is free to wander
Free to wander carelessly
At times its not so far
From what we call reality
And at times I know I wonder
If it all could come true
Oh, mr. wonderworld
Dont be afraid
cause dreams were made
Were made to dim the light
The torment day can bring
And leave you free
To laugh aloud and hear
Your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, mr. wonderworld
Wonderworld
Oh, mr. wonderworld
Dont be afraid
cause your dreams were made
They were made to dim the light
The torment day can bring
And leave you free
To laugh aloud and hear
Your heart bells ring

Dont need none of your junkie business
You gonna screw us up again
Get your blackjack off my table
Get your coat out of my rack
We dont need you round here, jerk-off
Chuck, I want you off my back

Got a gun from uncle freddy
Got a station all picked out
Got a plan and now were ready
Gonna take that station out
