Down On The Corner
Early in the evenin just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse theyre starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
Chorus:
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poorboys are playin;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
Chorus
Chorus
You dont need a penny just to hang around,
But if youve got a nickel, wont you lay your money down?
Over on the corner theres a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.

#1 Zero
Listen now, let me speak
I will be the dog at your feet
And come along when you call
Be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song
I'll be there to take the fall
Though you tread upon me for no reason at all
Chorus
But just when you think you've left me blind
I will keep you in the corner of my eye
I will never leave your side
Though you call me your number one zero
your nevermind
I'll be your king, I'll be your pawn
I will builid a pedestal and put you upon it
Chorus
But just when you think you've left me blind
I'll be creeping right up behind
Cause if I need to
I will keep you in the corner of my eye
corner of my eye
Down on the street, over your night
Out of your sleep, out of your sight
if I need to, if I need to
Out of your mouth, in every word
Down in your ego one thing is sure
I will keep you, I will keep you
Chorus
But just when you think you've left me blind
I will be creeping right up behind
Cause baby if I need to
Lord, I will keep you in the corner of my eye
I will be the bird in your straw
But you won't get far
I will keep you in the corner of my eye

Hey...
Spend your money on the corner now,
Know youve gotta save some for the shoeshine boy
Youve been pulling them by the hand inside,
Oh...collecting all your toys.
If you need a lead to heaven now, just stick around
Youre going to be there.
What do you care?
What do you dare?
What does your heart say now?

Divine intervention, couldnt keep the word from leaking out,
With your pleasure in suspension
Not to mention what you hang it around
If you need a lead to heaven,
A place to share
In every position..
What do you care?
What do you dare?
What does your heart say now?

Im a little hot wired and Im feeling alright now
I got some money in my pocket and I wont need a ride now
I got a big cherry car and my baby by my side now

Well Im a little hot-wired but Im feeling ok
And I got a little lost along the way
And Im just around the corner from the light of day
Just around the corner from the light of day

The War Song
Chorus 1:
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
Chorus 2:
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
People fill the world
With narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
A man with no defense
Whats mine is my own
I wont give it to you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?
(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
Man is far behind
In the search for something new
Like a philistine
Were burning witches too
This world of fate
Must be designed for you
It matters what you say
It matters what you do
Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?
(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand
Miles back home
You cant do that to me, no
You cant do that to me
You cant do that to me, no
You cant do that to me
Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

Bring Out The Magic
(graham russell)
When all else fails and you have nothing
You know you really should believe in something
Take a look at what you have
To a dream thats not all that bad
Dont waste time with all your thinking
Wake up now your dreams are sinking
Making the change is up to you
Youll accept nothing less than the best
(chorus)
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic
Its much quicker than the eye
Its your mind and its there all the time
Say good-bye this is tomorrow
Make your mind up not to follow
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say
(chorus)
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say
You can stay with me now
And tell me what you know
You can stay with me now
And tell me all you know

You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say

Boy Next Door
Written and arranged by richard marx
Born at the end of a minnesota freeze
Eldest child of willy and louise
His little sister died at the age of four
The family posed, led by louise
Like right out of some kind of rockwell scene
But jake couldnt fake it anymore
Chorus:
Nobody heard the hammer fallin
Sensed that judgement day was callin
Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
Everybody loves to point their finger
They might as well have pulled the trigger
Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
Willy later said he really shouldve known
The boy spent too much time on his own
And what was on his mind, God only knew
One by one the neighbors went away
A gruesome little game jake taught himself to play
His daddy always said, find something to do
Chorus
One less mistake to think about
Cause no one read the writing on the wall
So much for case 1239
Covered up, curled up in a ball
One little page in the history of crime
Lawyers made a fortune for their time
Seems an explanation was never found
And I hope this tale wont be misunderstood
Things aint the same in every neighborhood
But before you go to sleep tonight
Look around

Makin Music For Money
By: alex harvey
1974
When I woke up this mornin
I was tired as I could be
I think I was countin my money
When I should a been countin sheep
My agent he just called me
And told me what I should be
If I would make my music for money
Instead of makin music for me
Chorus:
I said, I know that this may sound funny
But money dont mean nothin to me
I wont make my music for money
No, Im gonna make my music for me
He said, the people only buy the love songs
Rock n roll and not too long
He said, son you got to be commercial
If you want to turn the people on
And I said, turnin on the people
Now thats a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time makin them up a rhyme
Well, whos gonna turn on me?
Repeat chorus:
Well now I went up to country
And Ill tell you all about the scene
I found a place with much charm and much grace
That wasnt touched by the music machine
Whoa, the people were havin a good time
Makin music all day long
And nobody cared if they ever got paid
One penny for playin a song
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Whoa, I know...

Make Believe
Chorus:
Why dont we make believe were in love again
Who said the crimson moon doesnt shine
Where do people go when theyre lookin for that one of a kind
Why dont we make believe that were sorry
Why must we hold it all inside
Where do lovers go when theyre runnin and theres no place to hide
Always remember - the day we met in the foreign rain
You were content and - we went our seperate ways
No matter which way the wind blows now, hang on to it anyhow
Dont ever say it could never be the same
Chorus
Always remember - holding hands on a summer day
You were content ob das stimmt? ? and - you took it all away
I didnt come here to change your mind, lead you on and waste your time
All alone in the evening, gettin blue
Why dont we make believe

Why dont we make believe, why dont we make believe

Same Ol' Situation
She's got an alligator bag
Top hat to match
Dressed in black on black
She's got a philipino girlie
She claims is her friend
I tell you boys, you just gotta laugh
Now i used to call her cindy
She changed her name to "sin"
I guess that's the name of her game
I really used to love her
Then, the kitty she discovered
It's got to be a sexual thing
(pre-chorus)
All around the world
Girls will be girls
(chorus)
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
I say no, no, no
No, no, no
Introduced me to her lover
In a cellophane dress
Then they bid me a sweet farewell
Last time i saw them
They were kissing so softly
To the sound of wedding bells
Well,

In The Evening
(jones/page/plant)
In the evening, when the day is done
Im looking for a woman, but the girl dont come
So dont let her, play you for a fool
She dont show no pity baby, she dont make no rules
*chorus: oh, oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I just got to have
So dont you let her, oh, get under your skin
Its only bad luck and trouble, from the day that you begin
I hear you crying in the darkness, dont ask nobodys help
Aint no pockets full of mercy baby, cause you can only blame yourself
Chorus
Oh its simple, all the pain that you go through
You can turn away from fortune, fortune, cause thats all thats left to you
Its lonely at the bottom, man, its dizzy at the top
But if youre standing in the middle, aint no way youre gonna stop
Chorus
Oh whatever that your days may bring
No use hiding in a corner, cause that wont change a thing
If youre dancing in the doldrums, one day soon, its got to stop, its got to stop
When youre the master of the off-chance, when you dont expect a lot
