Hello Old Friend
By eric clapton
As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.
Hello old friend,
Its really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
Its really good to see you once again.
I saw you walking underneath the stars;
I couldnt stop cause I was in a car.
Im sure the distance wouldnt be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are.
Chorus
An old man passed me on the street today;
I thought I knew him but I couldnt say.
I stopped to think if I could place his frame.
When he tipped his hat I knew his name.

I Wouldnt Know
(marc beeson, robert byrne, mike mcguire)
Everyone I see these days still asks me about you.
I guess they got so used to us together
They assume that everythings ok and then I have to say...
Chorus
I wouldnt know. I havent seen him.
I couldnt say its been awhile.
I havent thought about him lately.
So I wouldnt know.
Im getting tired of people askin.
Why cant they just leave me alone.
I couldnt care, I couldnt say, I wouldnt know.
I dont get out anymore to our old stompin grounds.
cause some old friend is bound to ask me
Why youre not around.
Well I just stay away so I dont have to say...

Heaven Is One Step Away
By eric clapton
We searched all through the night.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I knew something wasnt right.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
And then there came the dawn:
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
Chorus
We didnt leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I dont get it, I dont understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?
First verse
Chorus
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

Sour Grapes
I dont care if the sun dont shine
But it better or people will wonder
And I couldnt care less if it never stopped rainin
cept the kids are afraid of the thunder
Chorus:
Say sour grapes
You can laugh and stare
Say sour grapes
But I dont care
I couldnt care less if I didnt have a friend
cept people would say I was crazy
And I wouldnt work cause I dont need money
But the same folks would say I was lazy

I was gonna leave her anyway
And all the good times that we shared
Dont mean a thing to day

She Wasnt Good Enough For Him
(dean dillon, leslie satcher)
She was good at late night listening
When hed call her on the phone
She was good to come and get him
When he couldnt make it home
She was good to make love to
And they did now and then
She was good to never ask
When hed be back again
Chorus:
She wasnt good enough for him
For his family or his friends
He kept her out there on a limb
Wouldnt let her go, wouldnt let her in
She wasnt good enough for him
She was there on his bad days
And for years he led her on
We all knew she had a bad case
He was doing her all wrong
She couldnt bring herself to do the right thing
Break it off and say goodbye
til she overheard him one night tellin
Somebody on the side that
Repeat chorus
She was good at late night listening
When hed call her on the phone

Hands Up
Rollin to the club
Stop to get my grub on
Nothin like those krispy kremes
Soon as I was done
It was time to get my groove on
Find a place thats happenin
And I knew that it was on
From the moment that I walked into the spot
It was bangin
It was swangin oh
Till somethin turned me off
I wasnt sure
Coulda swore I saw you with someone
And at much to my surprise (whoa)
Chorus:
You were right there with your hands up in the air
You had hoochies everywhere
All on you
Its like I almost didnt know you
Tryin to shake that ass
Playa you dont even dance
Sup wit you
Its like I dont even know you
Left you at the crib
Cause I know you get your game on
Happens every tuesday night
You said that you was cool
Your boys was comin by
(go baby have yourself a real good time)
So I knew I could be wrong
I was thinkin theres no way it could be you
Not my baby
He aint crazy no
Then my girlfriends tipped me off
When I got closer I could tell that it was you
You was bangin
You was swangin oh
Chorus
Chorus
Mindin my own business
My pagers goin off
My girlfriends tryin to tell me
Youre doin wrong
I needed confirmation
I knew you was a dog
I just cant believe what I saw

Thank You For Loving Me
Its hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
Theres no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
Well leave the world outside
All Ive got to give to you
Are these five words when i
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldnt see
For parting my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The skys a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, youd make believe
That you believed my lies
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldnt see
For parting my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
Solo
Lock the doors
Well leave the world outside
All Ive got to give to you
Are these five words when i
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes

Thank you for loving me

The Girl I Left Behind Me
Its old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldnt wait and hang around
You always said must be free
But you couldnt see you were loosing me
And messing up the one good thing we had
Chorus:
And now Im going out the way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldnt win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I wont be back
And years from now Ill turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
I told myself that things would be ok
You would come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldnt chang or be rearranged
Im picking up the pieces of my life

We met when she was younger
And I had no eyes for her.
A few years went by and I saw her,
Now I'm gonna try for her.
(Look out, baby.)

She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once
She's not the little girl I once
She's not the little girl I once knew.
How could I ever have known that
She'd be what she is today.
An' look at how her boy friend calls her.
I'll be movin' in one day.

Sulky Girl
She wears a wedding ring her sister lent
To throw them off the scent
Just let them guess, its what they expect
Who in the world has bitten her neck?
Shes discovered wearing last nights dress
The carnal and cunning, she couldnt express
Who do you think shes trying to impress?
Chorus:
I think youd better hold your tongue
Although youve never been that strong
Im sorry to say that I knew all along
Youre no match for that sulky girl
She left her european town
Before she let the family down
She couldnt stand the massacre game
So she dyed her hair and adopted another name
With the evidence of passing out stamped on her hand
She glows in the dark
He thinks shes from another planet
Chorus
Sulky girl
Im sure you look a picture when you cry
Threatening the silent treatment doesnt qualify
Its like money in the bank
Your expression is blank
But while the chance appears
Youll be nearer to tears
Sulky girl [2x]
He said hello, my pretty flower
Just trying out his tycoon power
Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare
She said youre mistaken, your moneys no good in here
Just some stupid little know-it-all
Who thought she looked easy; hes not that astute
Hell pay for the distance
Between cruelty and beauty
Chorus
So I wont tell you again
What do you gain
By blackening her name
Shes smarter than you
Oh isnt it a shame
Youre gonna lose that sulky girl
Sulky girl
I saw you practising your blackmail faces
Suddenly youre talking like a duchess
But youre still a waitress
I saw through your pretence
But in my defence
There are a few events
I think will spare the censor
Sulky girl [4x]

Someone Like You
By arthur louis
I got up this morning and fell out of bed
Trying to make it to the door.
The wind was high, I didnt have much time,
Trying to find a man to score.
And then you came up on the other side
To brighten up my day.
I knew right away
That this could be my day.
Someone like you
Could make me change my ways.
Someone like you
Could turn the nights into days.
There you were, standing
On a crowded street.
You looked so good, though the air was bad,
Walking through the fog.
Chorus
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.

The Big Country
I see the shapes,
I remember from maps.
I see the shoreline.
I see the whitecaps.
A baseball diamond, nice weather down there.
I see the school and the houses where the kids are.
Places to park by the factries and buildings.
Restaunts and bar for later in the evening.
Then we come to the farmlands, and the undeveloped areas.
And I have learned how these things work together.
I see the parkway that passes through them all.
And I have learned how to look at these things and I say,
(chorus)
I wouldnt live there if you paid me.
I couldnt live like that, no siree!
I couldnt do the things the way those people do.
I couldnt live there if you paid me to.
I guess its healthy, I guess the air is clean.
I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends.
Look at that kitchen and all of that food.
Look at them eat it guess it tastes real good.
They grow it in the farmlands
And they take it to the stores
They put it in the car trunk
And they bring it back home
And I say ...
(chorus)
I say, I wouldnt live there if you paid me.
I couldnt live like that, no siree!
I couldnt do the things the way those people do.
I wouldnt live there if you paid me to.
Im tired of looking out the windows of the airplane
Im tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere.
Its not even worth talking
About those people down there.

You Remember Me
(jesse winchester)
They say no one should call on you
Unless shes your permission to
But me, I just came anyway
I couldnt care less what you say
cause I know you from long before
You hid behind a stained glass door
And walked around
And looked your old friends up and down
But anyway, I thought Id come give you a look
At where youre from and let you know
I still recall what a child you are underneath it all
Chorus:
You remember me the funny way I cry
The funny way I sit there when someone says goodbye
The funny way I wind up lost when someone sets me free
Why sure, you remember me
Well, I wont take up your whole day
Ive said about all I have to say
I guess Ill be moving on
I know youll be glad to see me gone
Tonight is our last night in town
So dont worry bout me hanging around
Tomorrow night its calgary
And youll be good and rid of me

Never Take The Place Of Your Man
It was only last june when her old man ran away
She couldnt stop cryin, she knew he was gone to stay
10:35 on a lonely friday night
She was standin by the fire - unh - she was lookin alright
I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said
All she wanted was a good man who wanted to know if I thought I was qualified
I said baby dont waste your time
I know whats on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I can never take the place of your man
It hurt me so bad when I saw the tears in her eyes
She was all he ever wanted and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldnt stop cryin she knew he was gone to stay
She asked me if we couldnt be friends and I said
Oh honey baby thats ok you know and I know, know, know you wouldnt be satisfied
I said baby dont waste your time
And I know whats on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
La la la oh oh whoa
Never take the place of your man
Thats all I need girl
Is a one night, one night, one night stand
I dont wanna be like a steak in your mind
Oh girl if you need a friend Im there by your side

On With The Show
Frankie died just the other night.
Some say it was suicide,
But we know
How the story goes.
With his six string knife
And his street wise pride
The boy was a man before his time,
And she knew
All their dreams would come true.
But ya see, Frankie was fast,
Too fast to know.
He wouldn't go slow
Until his lethal dose.
And she knows
He'll finally come too close.
[Chorus]
Well, on with the show.
Going on with the show.
Come on baby
No, no, no.
Oh my, my, my . . .
[repeat]
He was bad.
He was never good.
But one thing that he understood.
And she knew
All those lies would come true.
The time has come and
He's paid his dues.
Suzy finally got the news.
She always knew
This day would come soon.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
He was stopped on a dime
With a switchblade knife.
Some damn punk went and
Took Frankie's life.
And she knew
She'd have to pull through.
Broken down, with his broken dreams,
With a wink of an eye
Said "Suzy, listen to me
You must go
On with the show."
[Chorus]

Youre going to somewhere where I dont belong

Winning
One day I was on the ground
When I needed a hand
And it couldnt be found
I was so far down
That I couldnt get up
You know and
One day I was one of lifes losers
Even my friends were my ac-cus-ers
And in my head
Lost before Id begun
I had a dream
But it turned to dust
What I thought was love
That must have been lust
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
When I played my hand
I looked like a joker
Turn around
Fate must have woke her
cause lady luck she was
Waiting outside the door
Chorus:
Im winning
Im winning
Im winning
And I dont intend on losing again
Too bad it belonged to me
It was the wrong time
And I meant to be
It took a long time
And I knew for now
I can see the day
That I breath for
Friends agree theres a need
To play the game
And to win again

Seven Days
(vs.1)
Ive been searching for someone
But never looked before my eyes
There you were to my surprise
It was so obviouse looking into your face
After playing a game of truth or dare
I wanted to stay at your place
I never thought that i
Would fall in love with you
But since the day we kissed
I knew it had to be you
I never thought we would be together
I cant believe I just made love to you
After all the things that weve been through
Now what are we gonna do
Ohh
(chorus)
Monday, a friend of mine
Tuesday, we played a game
Wednesday, you went away
Thursday, things werent the same
On friday, you came back
I wanted to kiss you
On saturday
On sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do
(vs.2)
As much as i, I want you
I dont wanna wreck a friend
Ive already found in you
Ive been there before
And I cant ignore
How two friends became one
But walked away with none
I cannot risk a friend
But the love is so good
I gotta make a choice
I would if I could
I never thought we would be together
How can I address you
Hey lover? , hi friend!
How ya doin? , where ya been?
I gotta make a choice
