Londons Brilliant Parade

Outside my window
Not long before sleep arrives
They come with their sirens
And they sweep away all the boys
Busy draining the joy from their lives
They never said their prayers out loud
And while Im dreaming
Theres a passing motor car
That broadcasts a popular song
And a girl appears to be saying
Do you think that Im going to go far?
First chorus:
Just look at me
Im having the time of my life
Or something quite like it
When Im walking out and about
In londons brilliant parade
Shes one of those girls that you just cant place
You feel guilty desiring such an innocent face
But of course they knew that when they cast her
Along with the red routemaster
And the film takes place in an mgb
And a perfect re-creation of the speakeasy
Everybody looks happy and twisted
Though she probably never existed
For old times sake
Dont let me awake
I wouldnt want you to walk across hungerford bridge
Especially at twilight
Looking through the bolts and the girders
Into the water below
Youll never find your answer there
They sounded the all-clear in the occidental bazaar
They used to call oxford street
Now the bankrupt souls in the city
Are finally tasting defeat
Second chorus:
Dont look at me
Im having the time of my life
Or something quite like it
When Im walking out and about
In londons brilliant parade
When Im walking out and about
In londons brilliant parade
From the gates of st. marys, there were horses in olympia
And a trolley bus in fulham broadway
The lions and the tigers in regents park
Couldnt pay their way
And now theyre not the only ones
At the hammersmith palais
In kensington and camden town
Theres a part that I used to play;
The lovely diorama is really part of the drama, Id say
First chorus [2x]

Popular Girl

When she walks in the room, every eye in the place
Turns to follow her every move
Shes arrived on the scene in her diamonds and jeans
World class -- shes got nothing to prove
It takes a long time to know her, whe gives it up a little at a time
*shes gettin what she wants
Shes a popular girl
Settin those hearts on fire
Everybody wants to be
Part of her world
Shes a popular girl
Such a popular girl*
She walks down the street, knocks em dead on their feet
With a casual nonchalance
When shes breaking your heart, shes the state of the art
With license to take what she wants
It takes a hard man to hold her, she likes to get a little out of line
( * repeat)
She waits by the window, the world is her stage
Each smile is her mirror in the passing parade, passing parade
And in the end, all shell be is your friend
Though passions your lone desire, shes the one you cant touch,
You want her so much, youre burnin, your hearts on fire
It takes a hard man to hold her, the challenge is forever on my mind
( * repeat)

Where I Wanna Be

Talking all the talk that makes me feel strong
Going all the places where smiles greet me
Cant get it through my head
That I did nothing wrong
It would be easier if I had myself to blame
But its pouring rain under my umbrella
Chorus:
I tried walking around,
round these streets by myself
Said pretty girl dont look down
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I cant make him see
And I cant call this life my own
Cause Im not where I want to be
Going out with the girls on a saturday night
Reaching out to strangers
So I dont feel deeply moved
Yeah theyre my friends and I like them alright
But they cant do the things that we used to do
So Ive got to say that I miss you baby
Chorus
Its amazing how one little broken heart
Can radiate so much pain
Some guy looked at me and then he turned away
Saw my eyes sayin I will never fall again
Dont look down
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
Still I cant make him see
I cant call my life my own
Cause Im not where I want to be
I tried walking around,
By myself
Said pretty girl dont look down
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
Still I cant make him see
I cant call this life my own
Cause Im not where I want to be
round these streets by myself
Said pretty girl dont look down
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I cant make him see
I cant call this life my own
Cause Im not where I want to be
No, Im not where I want to be
Oh noo, no no
No, Im not where I want to be
No, Im not where I want to be
Oh no, Im not where I want to be
No, Im not where I want to be
No, Im not where I want to be
No no, Im not where I want to be
I tried walking around,
round these streets by myself
Said pretty girl dont look down
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I cant make him see
And I cant call this life my own
Cause Im not where I want to be

Dont

Walking round this metropolis
With its buildings that reach to the clouds
There must be millions of people out there
Walking round with their heads bowed
This city kills me, but it thrills me
Now somethings gone and held up the crowd
Theyre pointing at a man standing high on a ledge
And somebody just cried out loud
Dont look down at the people below, oh
Dont look down
Its a long way to fall and Id sure like to know
What made it happen, sure makes you think
Must have been something special
To send him to the brink
Down here on the sidewalk, hes clearly in view
Then a voice shouts up to him
Try thinking it through but whatever you do
Chorus:
Dont look down
At the people below, oh
Dont look down, things might start looking up
You just never know
Hes heard the cries of the lunatics facing defeat
The cheers of the winners
Who are dancing in the street
Perhaps the crime and corruption finally got through
And the violence of the city
Just broke him in two
Now a voice from the queue shouts
Chorus
Dont look down, dont look down
Down here on the sidewalk
Its stopped all our lives
People are talking instead of just walking by
Before this happened it was just another day
Now people are talking instead of walking away
Now were gripped by this tragedy
Our blood starts to pump as we all shout together
Dont jump, dont jump
Chorus
Dont look down, we all shouted out, oh
Dont look down
Its a long way to fall and Id sure like to know
What made it happen, guess well never know
Now the suns come out
Looks like hes standing on a rainbow
Hes in the heavens, Im standing on the ground
Saying dont look down

Swingin Doors

(chapin hartford/bobby boyd/jim foster)
You have worn a path
Right up to my heart
You come in for a while but you dont stay
And Ive come to realize
That your promises are lies
To buy you time when you want to get away
Chorus:
You must think my heart has swingin doors
The way that you keep comin back and forth
I can feel its getting close to closing time
And I wont be leavin my heart open any more
Well, Ive heard youre back in town
I suppose youll come around
When nights are cold and friends are hard to find
You always seem to wait
til all the pieces are in place
Then you walk back in and rearrange my life
(repeat chorus)
So if youre walking down my street just keep on walking by
Im hangin out a sign sayin this well has run dry
(repeat chorus)

I Dont Want To Be A Hero

Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand
But I wont pull the trigger
Out destiny is here
neath the red, white and blue
So lead me to the slaughter
Now dont be afraid
Come and join the parade
For the ultimate in sacrifice
Its an old-fashioned story
Of hope and of glory
A ticket for taking life
(chorus)
I, I dont want to be a hero
I dont want to die for you
I dont want to be a hero
Oh send me off to war
In a far away land
I never knew existed
Subject me to the truth
To the horror and pain
Until my mind is twisted
And what if I fail
Will you put me in jail
For a murder I will not commit?
cos you dont understand
Till theres blood on your hands
That its time to forget and forgive
(chorus)
And those who return
Come back only to learn
That theyre hated by those who they love
cos youre not satisfied
Till the thousand will die
And your anger is paint for blood
(chorus)

Peace Of Mind

Every time I have it made
I let it rain on my parade
I need a star that doesnt fade
When I open my eyes
Everything is clear to see
Youve given me a destiny
I know theres something left for me
And I found it this time
(chorus)
I dont want it all, I just want a little bit
And Ill never stop til I get to it
Being with a woman like you
Is all I ever wanted to do
Give me something I can hold on to
Then Ill have it all
Find a little place in the sun
Wont you tell me Im the chosen one
Say you need me when the day is done
Then Ill have enough
To get me through my life
Chorus
I never will reget it
cause Im having the time of my life
I can fly on the wings of our love here in the night
Oh, it hurts if I let it
But its something Id rather forget
Now the past isnt holding me down
Oh, dont you know
Ive learned to let it go

Walking On Sunshine

I used to think maybe you loved me
Now, baby, Im sure
And I just cant wait til the day
When you knock on my door
Now every time I go to the mailbox
I gotta hold myself down
cause I just cant wait til you write me
Youre coming to town
Chorus:
Im walking on sunshine, woh, oh
Im walking on sunshine, woh, oh
Im walking on sunshine, woh, oh
And its time to feel good
Its time to feel good
I used to think maybe you loved me
Now I know that its true
But I dont want to spend my whole life
Just a waiting for you
Now I dont want you back for the weekend
Or just for a day, no, no
Baby I just want you back
And I want you to stay
Repeat chorus
Walking, Im walking on sunshine
Im walking on sunshine, woh, oh
Im walking on sunshine, woh, oh
Im walking on sunshine, woh, oh
And its time to feel good
Its time to feel good, now

They Dont Make em Like They Used To

Its every young boys fancy
Its there hidden deep in the heart of a man
Its just a feeling
They wont ever understand
They know they gotta have one
A brand new model and its here today
And dont you know that shes made right here in the u.s.a.
(chorus)
Dont ever stop trying
Dont let her get away
They dont make em like they used to
I think theyre better than before
Its more than physical attraction
Keeps you coming back for more
Shes a home grown beauty
Shes born and raised with a mind of her own
And once you find her
Youll never want to leave her alone
Shes making you crazy
You cant live without her, shes here to stay
Dont you know that she lives right here in the u.s.a.
Chorus
They dont make em like they used to
Theyre so much better than before
Im so tired of hearing--(Im so tired)
Some people say--(what people say)
Everything is moving much too fast
Things were better in the good old days
Let them have their opinions--(let them have...)
Never gonna change their mind--(theyll never change)
They lived a long time ago
When times were tough
And a real good woman was hard to find
They dont make em like they used to
I think theyre better than before
Its more than physical attraction
That keeps you coming back for more
Chorus
They dont make em like they used to
Theyre so much better than before

Say It Isnt So

J. spinks
You got me all screwed up
So much I cant turn round
And Ive been running about with some funny girls
Im not so tough,
But if you let me down (Ill tell ya)
Id give you just one day to explain
Id like to know if theres somebody else in this game
(chorus)
Say it isnt so, tell me Im the only one
Say it isnt so, without you I cant go on
How was I to know, if you keep me guessing I dont understand
I cant sleep at night
I keep on dreaming youre gone
Im staring into a space that was filled by your face
Facing the day,
A face in the crowd
Im sure I saw you just a moment ago
There must be something you dont want me to know
(chorus)
Theres something wrong, suspicions getting stronger
Dont know if I can stand this pain much longer
You play around but I see right through you
Its lonely on the streets when its just one a.m.
See a lot of pretty girls passing by
Im walking in the midnight sun once again,
And now I know why love is so blind,
Cos when youre out of my sight,
Im out of your mind,

Say it isnt so
Say it isnt so
Say it isnt so

My Life Is Over With You

(clarke / hicks)
You wanna explain, thats why you called
Save your breath it doesnt matter at all,
Not now, my friend
You played your cards, and you made your choice
I dont wanna listen to your voice,
Not now, my friend
Ive found a new part to play in life
Theres different actors on my stage
Ill set the pace in a world without you
I dont wanna hear the things that you say
cos my life is over with you
Now you know whats on my mind
Dont call again cos you will find
I wont be here
You chose your path to walk along
Now I can sing a different song
I hope thats clear
Chorus
Ive found a new part to play in life
Theres different actors on my stage
Good bye, my love, and dont feel sad
Just because Im feeling glad
That youre not here
Youll go your way and Ill go mine
Maybe well meet some other time
Goodbye, my love

Freak Parade

I never was bothered by bad dreams
They never made me afraid
But then I never did dream Id wake up
And find me in the freak parade.
I guess I had to find out the hard way
I shouldnt have been so proud
cause here Im the main attraction
Of every giggle in the crowd.
So I gotta
Take my place in the freak parade
See my face in the freak parade.
In a world full of freaks
You can creep, you can crawl
But the worlds biggest freak
Is the one with no balls.
You know you shouldnt poke fun at strangers
Or pity their case at all
cause there are lots of friends and lovers
That take it kind of personal.
You might appreciate our position
Dont laugh at our freaky ways
You might find yourself tomorrow
Marching in the freak parade.
You better
Take your place in the freak parade
See your face in the freak parade
Get of the sidewalk!

True To Myself

And its not the same old thing over again (I say)
Just do what you feel and dont you fool yourself (I say)
Cause I cant make you happy unless I am (I say, I say)

Ive got to be true to myself (x4)
Theyre in theyre out, Ive asked many questions (I say)
Only to find the truth it never changes (I say)
If you dont deal with it, it keeps killing you a little by little
Call me selfish if you will, my life I alone I can live (I say, I say)
Chorus
Ive got to be true to myself (x4)
I dont care if it hurts
Im tired of playing all these games
Ive reached a point in life
Hey, no longer can I be this way
Dont come crying to me
I too have shed my share of tears
Im moving on, yes Im grooving on
Hey, well Im finally free

Ive got to be true to myself (x8)

Children On Parade

All the girls and boys have gone away
They never really had much to say
They took off all their clothes and their shoes
Politely asked to be excused
Theyre the children on parade
They have a secret they can share
Theyre the children on parade
And nobody knows
And nobody knows
All the broken toys lie on the floor
Theres no more laughter from down the hall
Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Whatever could have happened to them all
Theyre the children on parade
They have a secret that they share
Theyre the children on parade
And nobody knows
And nobody knows
All across the world just yesterday
All the boys and girls just went away
They left without their clothes or their shoes
Id love to someday hear all the news
About the children on parade
And all the secrets that they share
Now theyre the children on parade
And nobody knows...

Child Come Away

Written by ricky & marty wilde
Child come away
Its the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I wont give you reasons so dont ask why
I read the story about a week ago
They found her on the beach that night
They thought the light had gone out of her eyes
And no-one thinks shell ever be right
She was so full of her life
Happy with the people she knew
But then no-one can tell
Child come away
Its the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I wont give you reasons so dont ask why
Guess all they found were some marks in the sand
A message saying she is mine
Nobody touched her as she got in the car
Well nobody dares to anytime
She was so full of her life
The girl that everybody once knew
But now no-one can tell
Child come away
Its the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I wont give you reasons so dont ask why
And when they read a story out to the judge
I heard they had to turn away
Its all over town
I saw her face in the back of a car
As they were speeding out of town
Shes got a mark on the side of her face
That no-ones ever seen around
And what she is or what shes become
I guess the town will never know
Child come away
Its the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I wont give you reasons so dont ask why

Part Of Your Life

J. spinks
Youre taking this hard - and I still dont know
If weve got a price - Ill let you go
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
I cant complain if Im not sure
Ill only remain if youre still pure
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
You know I wont share you with another man
So dont expect me to try and understand
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
(chorus)
Theres another choice
Theres another dream
Theres another place
Another reason for living
Theres another face
Theres another mind
Theres another soul
Another heart I could find
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
I dont wanna know what might be wrong
Start looking for something that might be gone
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
Making up for lost time wont ease the pain
Or start looking for something - just to ease the strain
I dont wanna be just a part of your life

I dont want a friend just to turn to
I dont need a hand that can only pull me through
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
I dont wanna be just a part of your life

Girl weve been friends now for far too long
I know some part of the things that Im schemin
But theres no way I could do you wrong

I said love was sayin it aint that
Then you turn around and come back
I can tell the way that you act
That you want this

Dont you fight it girl its only natural
You disguise whats in your eyes they say too much
Dont deny that when we touch its physical
Let it be, you and me, dont fight it, baby
Dont need to tell me were riskin this friendship
But theres no stoppin this vibe were on
And when we play I can feel were not jokin
In every stare that we share too long

What everybody knows (dont fight it baby)
Just let youre feelings show (dont fight it baby)
Dont wanna let it go (why fight it baby)

Keep you body shakin show me what you got

He Aint With Me

Calling all these other guys
Im seeing something I didnt before
Is that a new look in your eyes
Now you dont believe that Im asking for more
I saw you walking down the street
With another girl who looks just like me
People always say we look so happy
He took my love but he didnt take me
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
You say you laughed with your old girlfriend
Youre doing nothing to encourage the end
I could be charming on long distance too
And if you want Ill make it easier for you
Communication is the key
Interrogation dont work for me
You saw that other guy smiling at me
If you were here I wouldnt act so free
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
He likes to hold my hand in public
Stranger cant you see he aint with me
He aint with me he aint with me no more
He aint with me he aint with me
Bridge
I guess fate really has my number
Every time you wander away
I reconsider all the time you said youd stay
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He aint with me no more
He likes to hold my hand in public
He aint with me he aint with me
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
He aint with me

One Headlight

So long ago, I dont remember when
Thats when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun comin up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place
Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
Theres got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
She said its cold
It feels like independence day
And I cant break away from this parade
But theres got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin all theres good and nothingness is dead
Well run until shes out of breath
She ran until theres nothin left
She hit the end-its just her window ledge
(chorus)
Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesnt turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think Id like to watch it burn
Im so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I aint changed, but I know I aint the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin dreams
I think her death it must be killin me
(chorus)
