Never Stop
You say shes a very good friend
Circumstances I should understand
But like recurring tide she comes on to you
And looks as though shes looking for a man
Honey dont make yourself so available
My prides in my pocket but I can be reasonable
Still all in all I forsee my own fall
But Ive climbed too far to drop
So stop
I know its your ego keeps the smile on your face
Because you know you got your options open
Shes a beguiling snake and shell keep what she takes
But when she leaves you Ill be the one coping
Honey dont make yourself so available
My prides in my pocket but I can be reasonable
Still through and through I can see clean through you
I know you like to be the one on top
But stop
You will miss my conversation
When youre talking to yourself
Youll be thumbing for advice
Through the pages of the novels on your shelf
Honey dont you see our love togethers the very best bet
Put your focus on me and Ill forgive and forget
Throw away your hidden ace you clever man
And take my hand
You neednt play the part of your image
This is not a one act play were living
And as long as Im here the situation is clear
Itll be 50/50 take and giving
Honey dont you see a lifetimes not much to ask
Take off your costume and remove your mask
If yes is what you will say were gonna start from today
Were gonna take it to the very top
And never stop

Never Stop (1986 EP)
Never Stop" is an Emily Saliers song from the 1986 EP. The last
time I heard it performed was in March of 1990, I think. The lyrics
are transcribed directly from the EP lyric sheet. It's odd in that
it's one of the only IG songs that's gender-specific, in the line
"throw away your hidden ace, you clever man."
Never Stop
You say she's a very good friend,
Circumstances I should understand.
But like recurring tide she comes on to you
And looks as though she's looking for a man
Honey, Don't make yourself so available
My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
Still, all in all, I forsee my own fall
But I've climbed too far to drop, so stop
I know it's your ego puts the smile on your face
Because you know you got your options open
She's a beguiling snake and she'll keep what she takes
But when she leaves you, I'll be the one coping
Honey, don't make yourself so available
My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
Still, through and through I can see clean through you
I know you like to be the one on top, but stop!
You will miss my conversation when you're talking to yourself
You'll be thumbing for advice through the pages of the novels on your
shelf
Honey, don't you see our love together's the very best bet
Put your focus on me and I'll forgive and forget
Throw away your hidden ace, you clever man, take my hand
You needn't play the part of your image
This is not a one act play we're living
As long as I'm here the situation is clear
It'll be 50/50 take and giving
Honey don't you see a lifetime's not much to ask
take off your costume and remove your mask
If yes is what you will say we're gonna satrt from today
We're gonna take it to the very top
Never stop

Love The One Youre With
Love the one youre with
When youre down and confused
And you dont remember who youre talking to
Consentration gonna slip away
Cause your baby is so far away
Honey theres a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
If you cant be with the one you love
Honey love the one youre with
Love the one youre with
Love the one youre with
Dont be angry and dont be sad
Dont sit crying over bad times youve had
Cause theres a girl sitting next to you
And shes just waiting for something to do
Honey theres a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
If you cant be with the one you love
Honey love the one youre with

A Really Good Time
(ferry)
Youre heard enough
Of the blues and stuff
Youre pretty swell now
cause youre pretty tough
But I dont have to tell you
How hard it can be to get by
You never bothered
About anyone else
Youre well educated
With no common sense
But love - thats one thing
You really need to get by
All your troubles
Come from yourself
Nobody hurts you
- they dont care
Just as long as you show them
A really good time
All the things
You used to do
A trip to the movies
A drink or two
They dont satisfy you
They dont tell you anything new
You know I dont talk much
Except to myself
cause ive not much to say
And theres nobody else
Whos ready and willing
And able to know me - I guess
Listen to me
Im not finished yet
Theres something to tell you
That I cant forget
Just have a really good time
Theres a girl
I used to know
Her face is her fortune
Shes got a heart of gold
She never goes out much
But boy - when she does
Then you know
Shes got no money
Well, maybe a dime
But she knows what shes worth
And thats reason why
Shes gonna make it
Shes got what it takes
Youll appreciate that
Shes probably late
But I know
And you know
We all know
Shell have a really good time

Red Neck Friend
Pretty little one
How has it all begun?
Theyre teaching you how to walk
But youre already on the run
Little one--
What you gonna do?
Little one--
Honey, its all up to you
Now your daddys in the den shootin up the evening news
Mamas with a friend, lately shes been so confused
Little one--
Come on and take my hand
I may not have the answer but I believe I got a plan
Honey you shake and Ill rattle and well roll on down the line
And see if we cant get in touch with a very close friend of mine
But let me clue you in, it aint like him
To argue or pretend--
Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend
Well theyve got a little list of all those things of which they dont approve
Theyve got to keep their eyes on you or you might make your move
Little one--
I really wish you would
Little one--
I think the damage would do you good
Honey you shake and Ill rattle and well roll on down the line
Were going to forget all about the battle
Its gonna feel so fine
cause hes the missing link, the kitchen sink--
Eleven on a scale of ten
Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend
Honey you shake and Ill rattle and well roll on down the line
Im going to try to swing you up into my saddle
And then well run but youll think were flyin
Now honey dont just stand there
Lookin like this dream will never end
Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

Stop Where You Are
(words & music by grant - baum - kaye)
Stop where you are
Dont move an inch
Dont come any closer now baby
Youll be in a pinch
Dont start what you cant finish
I warn you whats in store
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Stop where you are
Youd better freeze
Dont pull the fire now baby
Dont be a tease
Dont start what you cant finish
I told you once before
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Dont you know, youre walking on dangerous ground
Listen babe when I make love
I just dont fool around, no I dont
I just dont play around
Stop where you are
Just take it slow
Once I put my hands on you baby
I wont let you go
Dont start what you cant finish
One kiss and I want more
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Stop where you are
Dont move an inch
Stop where you are
Youre gonna be in a pinch
Stop where you are
Youre gonna get what youre looking for

I dont know what Im gonna do
Part of me says take it slow
And part of me says let it go
Dont - stop

Dont stop doing what youre doing to me
I think were moving way too fast
We need to take it slow and make it last
I cant keep holding back
When you keep doing things like that
Dont - stop

Burning love takes a toll

Tupelo Honey
You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant keep us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You cant stop us on the road to freedom
You cant stop us cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You know shes alright
You know shes alright with me
Shes alright, shes alright (shes an angel)
You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
Shes my baby, you know shes alright.....
A posting to the van mailing list may/96 notes the existence of a lost verse to this song, here transcribed from a performance on the van morrison in ireland concert video:
Theres a rose pressed inside a bible
That she reads on the balcony
Shes sweet in slumber and Ive got her number
For the beginning of the century.
Van list member art siegel comments in nov/97 that I dont think the rose in the Bible is a true lost verse, but rather one that van added to his live performances years after the origin
Here is, though, a true lost verse which is in the original sheet music:
Ill tell a tale of old manhattan
Adirondack bus to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my numbers gonna show.
The dusty springfield cover version on the van morrison songbook cd has a variant of this:
I heard a tale of old manhattan
Ive never been there but I want to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my numbers gonna show.

Dont Look Away
Writers: leo sayer & tom snow
Well, she talks in her sleep
About the men that she meets
With so much passion
In the morning I ask
But she takes me to task
Says Im overreacting
Shes a woman, playing a womans game
When I ask her, she looks at me like Im strange
I say, dont look away, babe
When Im talking to you
Dont look away, babe
Itll do you no good
Im into your game, babe
I been listening to you
Dont look away babe
Dont look away, oh no
Well, she sits on the phone
Like shes here on her own
Making these calls to no one
Now she slides out a ten
Says shes seeing a friend
Shes got so much going on
Shes a woman, playing a womans game
When I ask her
She looks at me like Im strange
I say, dont look away, babe
When Im talking to you
Dont look away, babe
Itll do you no good
Im into your game, babe
I been listening to you
Dont look away babe
Dont look away, oh no
Well, I follow her down to some part of town
Where weve never been before
Theres a car in the drive, and a man sits inside
I gotta stop her, before she gets in
Shes a woman, playing a womans game
When I ask her
She looks at me like Im insane
I say, dont look away, babe
When Im talking to you
Dont look away, babe
Itll do you no good
Im into your game, babe
I been listening to you
Dont look away babe
Dont look away, oh no

Shes My Baby
Shes got her pudding in the oven
And its gonna be good
She better not leave me
And go out to hollywood
She got the best pudding in the neighborhood
Shes my baby
She can drive a truck
She can drive a train (my baby, ma-ma my baby)
She can even drive an aeroplane
Shes so good to look at in the rain
Shes my baby
Shes comin down the sidewalk
Shes stumblin through the door
Shes coming home from places shes never been before
She sits down on the sofa
She poors herself a drink
Says, honey, honey, honey aint no time to think
My baby
My baby
My baby
Shes got a body for business
Got a head for sin
She knocks me over like a bowling pin
She came home last night and said
Honey, honey, honey its hard to get ahead.
My baby
My baby
She can build a boat
She can make it float (my baby, ma-ma my baby)
She can play my guitar
Note for note
She likes to stick her tongue right down my throat
Shes my baby

My baby
My baby (repeat and fade)

Honey roll over and lettuce on top
Strap you to the bed, and make you rock
Run it up the flag, send it on home
Push you to the wall, and make you moan
Shes mine, take what I want
Get what I need, dont take it all
Dont you hide, gonna blow my mind
Cmon taste it honey cause she feel fine

She turn it on, upside down
She turn me on, inside out
She turn it on, all around
She turn me on, she turn it on
Baby bend over, touch your toes
She take over, the bomb explodes
A rockin rollercoaster, flyin off the top
Take you high diving, off the long drop

Dont Listen To Linda

Dont listen to linda
She said all those things before
Shes just a pretender,
And though you couldnt love her more
Shell lead you on, and then one day
Shell say youll have to part
Dont listen to linda
Shell only break your heart.
Dont listen to linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, shell do it twice
Theres more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Dont listen to linda,
Or youll end up like me.
Youll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, dont underestimate her,
cause sooner or later,
The goings gonna start to get rough.
Dont listen to linda,
Dont believe the things you hear.
Youll end up, contender,
For the loser of the year.
Ive said everything I can
To try and make you see
Dont listen to linda,
Or youll end up like me.

She Hasnt Got Time For You
Written by ricky, kim & marty wilde
I heard youre out on your own
Guess its strange now youre living without love
Youd think all those years
Would mean something
But its over shes had enough
Dont you know its always hard at the start . . .
To change
When you look round and someones broken your heart
Afraid to fall in love
She hasnt got time for you
But dont be afraid to fall in love
I think you knew from the start
She would break up your heart
She hasnt got time for you
But honey dont be afraid to fall
Just take a look in my eyes
Come and give it a try
So now shes out on her own
Talking cheap and laughing about your love
The whispers you hear should tell you something
Cos its over and shes playing rough
Could have told you such a long time ago
You wouldnt listen cos you dont want to know
That she was bad from the start
And now shes breaking your heart

When the sun goes down and its getting late
You say its time for bed
She just takes her time
Acting like she never heard a word you said
Little baby wanna hold you tight
She dont ever wanna say good night
Shes a lover, she wanna be daddys girl
When the morning comes
And its time to go start another day
She wont let you leave, and she does her best
To try to make you stay
Pretty baby gonna start to cry
She dont ever wanna say good bye
Shes a lover, she wanna be daddys girl
She dont ever wanna be without you
Never have to worry she wont doubt you
Then she puts her head upon your shoulder
Says she marry you when she get older
When the time has come, and shes old enough
To be on her own
She wont understand why youre feelin sad
Cause shes leaving you all alone
Little woman gonna make you cry
You dont ever wanna say good bye
Shes a lady, shell always be daddys girl
Little woman gonna break your heart
Gonna miss her when youre both apart
Shes a lady, but shell always be daddys girl

Would she prefer it if I took her to an opera or two
I could distort myself to be the perfect man
She might prefer me as I am
She dont want to meet my folks
She dont want to hear my jokes
She dont want to fix my tie
She dont even want to try
She dont like the books I read
She dont like the way I feed
She dont want to save my life
She dont want to be my wife

Hey, eddie, can you lend me a few bucks
And tonight can you get us a ride
Gotta make it through the tunnel
Got a meeting with a man on the other side
Hey eddie, this guy, hes the real thing
So if you want to come along
You gotta promise you wont say anything
'cause this guy dont dance
And the words been passed this is our last chance
We gotta stay cool tonight, eddie
'cause man, we got ourselves out on that line
And if we blow this one
They aint gonna be looking for just me this time
And all we gotta do is hold up our end
Here stuff this in your pocket
Itll look like youre carrying a friend
And remember, just dont smile
Change your shirt, 'cause tonight we got style
Well cherry says shes gonna walk
'cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it
But eddie, man, she dont understand
That two grands practically sitting here in my pocket
And tonights gonna be everything that I said
And when I walk through that door
Im just gonna throw that money on the bed
Shell see this time I wasnt just talking
Then Im gonna go out walking
Hey eddie, can you catch us a ride?

Rich Kid
Shes a rich kid
She wears diamond rings
Knows how to walk
Knows everything
About love, shes not too sure
What shes looking for
Fresh from the woods
Out on the street
Shes looking good
Looking so neat
She dont know if she should
cause she dont know
If shes bad or good
She dont care if it
Hurts her father
She dont care if it
Breaks her mother
She dont care anymore
She just wants what
Shes never had before
All she wants is love, shes ready
She wants love
And shes gonna get it
All she needs is love
Shes gotta have it, someone to love
All she wants is love, shes ready
Gotta have love, shell get it
All she needs is love
Shes never had it, someone to love
She was a school boys dream
High school queen
She had it all when she was sixteen
Stayed away from boys
cause she thought shed get hurt
Why did she listen to
Her mothers words
Couldnt go out
Had to stay home
And how she hated
Being on her own
She needs love like everybody else
Now shes gonna
Get some for herself
All she wants is love, shes ready
She wants love
And shes gonna get it
All she needs is love
Shes gotta have it, she needs love
All she wants is love, shes ready
She wants love
And shes gonna get it
All she needs is love
Shes gotta have it, someone ...
