Banjo Man
Gimme a song I know, something I can relate to
People never criticise the way I play
Show me the way to go, I need to make a breakthrough
I dont think that I can wait another day
Its putting years on me, Im a young man going grey
I dont believe that I can wait another day
This simple melody is all I have
I make my living that way
I make good friends that way
Ooh, I really can make no sense of it, as hard as I try
Is it something I do wrong please wont you tell me why
People all seem to like it and no one knows about it more than i
I met a man today who walked in my direction
Stopped took off his hat and lit a cigarette
He listened carefully to what I had been playing
He threw a coin into my hat and walked away
Always play just what they want me to
Everybody wants the same song
If only I could do it in my own way
I feel such emotion, emotion, ooh, emotion, emotion, ooh
Say gimme a song I know, something I can relate to
And no one wants to criticise the way I play
I should just say no and play them what I want to
Cos I dont think that I can wait another day
Its putting years on me, Im a young man going grey
I dont believe that I can wait another day
This simple melody is all I have
I make my living that way
I make good friends that way
They feel my emotion, emotion, ooh, ooh
Emotion, emotion, ooh

Breathe In Emotion
Something here
Something is cold and you know
To speak now is to lie
Sad mistake
Maybe its mine but I know
You wake up with strangers
Is this love
If I said goodbye there would be
No-one to listen
I could ask
How do you feel? but I know
You breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero
Breathe in emotion
I could cry
Nothing is wrong but you know
I dont believe it
I could write
Words on a page but I know
Love doesnt live here
Look at me
Look at my eyes and youll know
Everythings over
This is me
This is my heart and you know
I breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero
Breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero

One Emotion After Another
Its just one emotion after another
They will dress themselves as angels and theives
They will make you believe youre in heaven
Then theyll drag you through hell on your knees
Its just one emotion after another
One day Im up just as high as it goes
Next day Im down to the lowest of lows
I do love you baby but we cant get along
With or without each other its al right or its all wrong
Its hard to determine where the balance should be
We swear its forever while were packing to leave
Each time we end it I swear never again
But the minute you come knockin I cant wait to let you in
Its just one emotion after another
They will dress themselves as angels and theives
They will make you believe youre in heaven
Then theyll drag you through hell on your knees
Its just one emotion after another
Its been that way since lovim began
Like an ocean love flows with its highs and its lows
Like the tide it just goes out and in
Its just one emotion after another
Its just one emotion after another
But I guess thats just the way that it goes
Love is rainbow and rain, love is pleasure and pain
I cannot stay the same I suppose
But I love you and thats all I know

Anguish
Mind it friends, everyone has emotion-
But somebody is also suffering in frustration (because of emotion) .
We all are seeking its solution,
But don't worry, there is a co-ordination
between frustration and emotion-
which can make a resolution.
(I know it, friends)
There is nothing but a simple devotion.
Just forget all of your ascription,
For what you lost or you would get as an incarnation.
Just keep it in your mind of passion and sensation,
But don't apply it for destruction
Someday you would get it.
And it would have solved with your full gratification.

Little Bit Of Emotion
See all the people
With hatred in their eyes
I cant help thinking that
Its only a disguise
Cause underneath that core
Theres got to be more
Than what we realize
Maybe theyre scared
To let the inside out
Maybe theyre afraid to
Show what theyre all about
So they put on a heavy front and hope that no one else
Can work them out
So they put on all the heaviness
But its only an illusion heaviness
Cant you see
Theyre scared to
Show a little bit of emotion
A little bit of real emotion
In case a little bit of emotion
Gives them away
Look at that lady dancing around with no clothes
Shell give you all her body
Thats if youve got the dough
Shell let you see most
Anything but theres one thing
That shell never show
And thats a little bit of real emotion
A little bit of true emotion
In case a little bit of emotion
Gives her away
But its a shame shes acting that way
Somehow shes gotta get through every day
And the only way
Is not to show one little bit of emotion
A little bit of true emotion
In case a little bit of emotion gives her away
People learn their lines
And they act out their part
Then they talk on cue
But its got no heart
Its all on the surface
And its all contrived
Theyre scared to come out
Somehow theyve got to survive
Look at that looney
With a smile on his face
He knows no shame
And feels no disgrace
Hes got a look in his eyes
That makes it seem that hes from outer space
Maybe that looney knows what its all about
Hes got something to say
But he cant spit it out
Hes unco-ordinated so we shut him out
In case he shows a little bit of emotion
A little bit of real emotion
Were afraid to see a bit of emotion
So we walk away
Show a little bit of real emotion
Show a little bit of emotion
Were afraid to see a bit of emotion
So we walk away

Lay All Your Love On Me
(b. andersson / b. ulvaeus)
Laa...
I wasnt jealous before we met,
Now every woman I see is a potential threat.
And Im possessive, it isnt nice.
Youve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice.
But now it isnt true,
Now everything is new,
And all Ive learned has overturned.
I beg of you...
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
(dont go sharing your devotion)
It was like shooting a sitting duck.
A little smalltalk, a smile, and baby I was stuck.
I still dont know what youve done with me;
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily.
I feel a kind of fear,
When I dont have you near.
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride,
I beg you dear...
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Ive had a few little love affairs.
They didnt last very long and theyve been pretty scarce.
I used to think I was sensible,
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible.
cause everything is new,
And everything is you,
And all Ive learned has overturned.
What can I do?
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me. (dont go)
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion...

Love Is The Strongest Emotion
One day away from you, Im feeling
Something new,
The way you look at me says everything.
Its much too late to hide, whats building up inside,
Hot blood is rushing through my heart and soul.
Chorus:
Love is the strongest emotion,
No-one can stop what we do.
Love is the strongest emotion,
That youll ever feelwhen your love is real.
Ive been awake all night, my eyes are open wide,
I never dreamed you, youre no fantasy.
Oh, dont make me wait too long,
Cause youre the only one girl you change my
Wishes to reality
Repeat chorus
And I wanna touch, and I wanna feel,
What you do to me.
Cause nothing on earth can move me like you,
Come on baby show mecause I need to give my
Love to you.
I wanna touch, and I wanna feel,
What you do to me.
Cause, nothing on earth can move me like you,
Come on baby show me, cause ineed to
Give my love.
Love is the strongest emotion,
No-one can stopwhat we do.
Love is the strongest emotion,
That youll ever feel when you know
Your love is real.

Emotion
Look up
Look down
I've seen it all before
I need emotion
Look left
Look right
I've tried it all before
I need emotion
Say nothing
It's over
I sold my soul
Forever
She's tempting
Sex tension
It could be the wrong move
One question
One answer
I don't need
Exposure
I don't know
The slogan
New fashion kills me
Fashion
Tear it up
It don't mean a thing so
Fashion
Tear it up good
Touch me
Picture this
It don't mean a thing so
Touch me
Life is cruel
How did this ever get serious?
One night
One touch
I've used them all before
I need emotion
One lie
Too much
I've heard it all before
I need emotion
I'll show you
Religion
Some people
Disgust me
Listen to
Opinion
I'm in a glass house
'i've been sick'
She whispers
Abandon
Nostalgia
Remember
My picture
I only work here
I need emotion

Waiting For Waiting's Sake
Waiting is more of a feeling than a state or being
When you wait it's not really time spent that weighs on you
IT's really the purpose or reason and the place you wait too
Waiting never is waiting even when it's 5 or 10 or 20 hours or more
It becomes waiting when you feel impatient
When you feel you can no longer wait
That is truly when you being to wait
And wait for waiting's sake
It always seems like more minutes more time
More time is what makes it weigh more, but it's a change
In emotion basically an enigma
It is not even what you do as you wait
If anything at all, it strangely is just the
Feeling. Consider when you simply stare at the
Clouds for hours, you wait and wait
Watch the clouds' gait
But not even a minute passes not in your mind
Not any second is wasted of left behind
But waiting 2 simple minutes is waiting
When you let emotions take hold
Even asked to wait another second is brazen and bold
So you see it is only that emotion
Only that feeling, desire for resolution and restitution
It's funny how we are not controlled by
States or circumstances
Mere happenstance
But rather we are controlled by character, emotion, our feeling
No state of the world can change them
It is only when
We allow our perceptions to change, it is only then
Circumstance even affects us, it only happens when we let it
And so I say when we wait and don't feel waiting
It is not waiting at all, no matter how much time
I realize I feel nothing, no sense of waiting not when I rhyme
I lose perception of time and so I have unlimited time
To write and write and write each and every single
Time I wait and even I wait for waiting's sake

Sometimes I Get Emotion
‘Salvation’ and I need it.
I always fight for the wrong.
So, I sing directly suggesting song.
Insinuation is not liked by me.
I compare it to insincerity.
An ostentatious heart is always excited to see
The end line of the eternity.
But, is it possible?
You will say, ’ no’…
A right thing should not be suppressed
On the eve of new movement.
We need only devotion
and give it an essence of right emotion.
Now, You would say, ” ‘Yes’….
and It is in control of our sense.”
So, you and me (We) all need salvation……..
To make the world out of calamitous sensation.
“That’s why, sometimes I get emotion.”

Crocodile
Crocodile
No you wont make me jealous
That she left me for him
Scene one standing
Crushed on landing
You may have walked out
But Ill swallow up my fate
Scene two sitting
Man in kitchen
Bit cold and lifeless like
The burger on my plate
But theres one emotion Im afraid of
Hear him scratching gently to be fed
I cant stand it when he sits there smiling
I dont want him nesting in my head
Crocodile
No you wont make me jealous
That she left me for him
Get away
Crocodile
No you wont make me jealous
Im not letting you in
Scene three lying (through his backteeth)
Speared and dying (bitten beneath)
Ill crawl the wall to hand there
Skinned and stuffed with drink
But theres one emotion Im controlling
Green eyed monster with his jaws spread wide
(but hes your pet now
You cant run away and hide)
I cant stand it when he sits there crying
I dont want to throw myself inside
Crocodile
Getaway
(crocodile
With the jaded jealous smile)

Cry Again
its difficult to love you
when you do the things you do
time and time again
and when i try to play it wrong
you turn from smooth
you play it rough once again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
you make me cry
you make me cry
saturday, same old story
Sunday mornings wounded glory repeats again
and every day a dream is born
is counted by a love thats torn, deep again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
and the tears roll by
you make me cry again
you make me cry
and you make me cry
you make me cry
you make me cry again
tide? that turns me into this ocean
subsides again
so high and so dry
with this bitter emotion lies again
you make me cry
you make me cry
and you make me cry
stop making me cry
stop making me cry
and you make me cry
you make me cry

Love Dont Lie
Yeah, whoa
Time, just watching the time slipping away
Gimme a sign, where do you go when you cant find the way
So we watch and we wait and we crawl and we kneel
If you know who you are then you know how to feel
In time, maybe temptation is all that you need
Love dont lie, it lifts you up
Takes you higher when high aint enough
Love dont lie, its stronger than steel
Its got the heart and emotion to heal
Its not as easy as it seems
When you cant even speak in your dreams
Love dont lie and thats the truth
Look me straight in the eye for the proof
That love dont lie
Yeah, love dont lie
Out in the cold, with a love that burns like the sun
Youve stolen my soul, so justice would seem to be done
So we hope and we pray and we live and we learn
If we know where we are then we know where to turn
In time, maybe persuasion is all that you need
Love dont lie, it lifts you up
Takes you higher when high aint enough
Love dont lie, its stronger than steel
Its got the heart and emotion to heal
Its not as easy as it seems
When you cant even speak in your dreams
Love dont lie and thats the truth
Look me straight in the eye for the proof
That love dont lie
Love dont lie, it lifts you up
Takes you higher when high aint enough
Love dont lie, its stronger than steel
Its got the heart and emotion to heal
Love dont lie, it lifts you up
Takes you higher when high aint enough
Love dont lie and thats the truth
Look me straight in the eye, straight in the eye for the proof
Love dont lie
Yeah, love dont lie
Oh, oh, love dont lie
Yeah, love dont lie

Sweet Emotion
Seems every star is out tonight to light our love
So round the moon so full and bright so high above
But if you look real closely theres only me, theres only you
And when you hold me closely, yeah
And now the sky melts in the sea like they are one
Its hard to tell where one first starts and where ends one
Thats the way our love is
You part of me me part of you
Thats just what love is
Sweet you got the sweetest emotion, baby
Sweet, sweet emotion
Sweet you got the sweetest emotion
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet
You took me from the surface to a deeper deep
Showing me that you
And you are life for me
Our love will last forever
Me loving you, you loving me
Well always be together oh
Sweet you got the sweetest emotion
Sweet, sweet emotion
Sweet, sweet emotion
Sweet you got the sweetest emotion
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet
Sweet, you got the sweetest emotion
Sweet, you got the sweetest emotion

You got the sweet emotion, yeah

She Dont Need A Band To Dance
(randy archer/freddy weller)
Shes not much for thrills
And says things with fancy frills
Dont turn her on
She seems so content working hard
To make our house a home
Shes steady as a rock
Standing by me
Even when I dont succeed
Lord I wish I could afford
The things she swears
She dont really need
She dont need a band to dance
It dont take wings for her fly
Our loves gonna grow
If there aint much do si do
Its still gonna be alright
We make such pretty music
That you can tell at just a glance
When I take the notion
She seconds that emotion
She dont need a band to dance
She didnt say a thing
When we had to pawn the ring
To pay the rent
What I make in overtime
Stacked against the bills
Dont make a dent
Just when I think I let her down
And failed to be the man I oughta be
She still sees the bright side
Of everything including me
She dont need a band to dance
It dont take wings for her fly
Our loves gonna grow
If there aint much do si do
Its still gonna be alright
We make such pretty music
That you can tell at just a glance
When I take the notion
She seconds that emotion
She dont need a band to dance
She dont need a band to dance

Hiding Emotion in Metaphors
I'm sitting here wondering
can i hide my emotion through words
writing in metaphors
when really its all plain
I'm broken
easy enough to say
but what does it mean
I'm in pieces
i don't work anymore
I'm broken
who says that to explain emotion
except a poet
finding metaphor for emotion
does it mean I'm sad, yes
does it mean I'm torn, yes
what does torn mean
torn like an old rug
torn like a dollar bill
ripped to shreds, broken
who needs a metaphor to explain emotion
when its laid out in front of everyone
my eyes are swollen
my body is bruised
my words are silent
my smile is fake
its all plain and simple
laid out like a flashing sign
i am broken
even though my emotions are plain
i still have to explain through metaphors
because people don't look for a simple answer
they look for the secrets people tell
is she holding back tears
is her smile today real
I'm broken
but people don't look to see me
they look to find emotion
encoded in this poem
hiding my feelings
in this metaphorical language
because people don't look
i am broken

This Is Emotion
This is
This is emotion calling
Inside
You dont know me
One game
A miracle of invention
You lose
These rules are mine
Dirty pictures
Youre in the movies
Move in
Move out
Im in slow motion
One love
One tear
One night
Of fear
One game
You lose
This is
Emotion
Look left
Theres nothing over there but vengeance
Look right
Theres nothing over there but greed
Look up
Theres nothing up there but rumours
Look down
Theres nothing down there but me
One love
I dont want to talk about it
One love
One pain
I dont want to talk about it
One pain
One more
Another night to remember
One more
Another name to forget
One more
Another young heart to play with
One more
Another young heart to break
Weve got to get out
We must get out of here
Weve got to get out
Weve got to get away
Im listening to stories
Of love and affection
That I dont believe
Im listening to liars
With pretty young faces
And eyes that deceive

A third floor walk-up...
One block east of chinatown.
She walked by my window,
While the rain is pouring down.
Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere
And its clear she dont approve.

But she loves to play ....
With the dark eyes burning,

Can there be no other chance?
I feel my fortunes turning,
And I wish for nothing else at all.
Looking up I see her signal with her fingers through her hair
Telling me the hands are clean.
On the .......... I turn a dragon tail into a pair.
And the game is over.

Still she loves to play her

Deal
Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose,
You and me bound to spend some time wondrin what to choose.
Goes to show, you dont ever know,
Watch each card you play and play it slow,
Wait until that deal come round,
Dont you let that deal go down, no, no.
I been gamblin hereabouts for ten good solid years,
If I told you all that went down it would burn off both of your ears.
Goes to show you dont ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow,
Wait until that deal come round,
Dont you let that deal go down, no, no.
Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes,
I hate to leave you sittin there, composin lonesome blues.
Goes to show you dont ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow,
Wait until that deal come round, dont you let that deal go down.
Wait until that deal come round, dont you let that deal go down,
Wait until that deal come round, dont you let that deal go down,
Dont you let that deal go down, dont you let that deal go down.
