Old Man River
(ronny scaife, danny hogan)
Cool breeze on the river
Ripples to the shore
Wash away my troubles
To the sea forever more
Wind and willows whisper
Sadness is the sound
Tell the tale of my wants
Happy world thats falling down
Old man I might be going where youre bound
Chorus:
Old man river
Ive come to talk again
Yes I know youre tired
Cause your journey never ends
Hes just like you
Hes moving all the time
And I think hes moving me out of his mind
I want to travel with you
In your deep and nimble soul
Thats the only way to make it
Peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight
But now I feel hes gone
Even though hes lying next to me I feel alone
Oh man it looks like Im to travel alone
Repeat chorus x2

Doing The Best For You
You can blame it on the government,
The unions,
They use you all you life,
You can take system and make believe
It will be alright,
Theyve taken the spirit of your life,
And given you a machine.
No wonder you feel so hard done by
Chorus
Theyre doing the best for you,
Well thats what they say,
I know what youre going through.
You travel alone,
The journey is long,
With only a name,
In search of a song.
You can blame it on the catholics,
The jews,
The blacks,
And the whites.
You can take any doctrine and surely waste
Another life.
Any way that you want it to be,
By popular demand
Any way but the way it should be.
Chorus
Theyre doing the best for you,
Well thats what they say,
I know what youre going through.
You travel alone,
The journey is long,
With only a name,
In search of a home.
The world is ruled by science and money,
Thats all that exists.
How much longer must we live and die
For this.
Chorus
Doing the best for you,
Doing the best for you,
Doing the best for you.
You travel alone,
The journey is long,
From where do you come,
To where do you go.

Always In My Head
Youre like a cool breeze, on a summers day
You are a river running through the desert plain
You are my shelter, from the pouring rain
You were my comfort, even before the pain
I can hear the sound of five drummers in the wind
The leaves blowing in the breeze, ring out like guitars
A tin can rolls across the gravel like a tambourine
I am but a vessel, so I sing, because you are
Chorus in my head, youre always in my head
In my dreams, youre always in my head
In my pain, youre always in my head
In my peace, youre always in my head
A rainbow of rhythm stretches across the sky
An airplane in the distance, plays a beautiful cello line
Its no coincidence; its in tune with the music in my head
If you were a shoulder youre where I would rest, but I am your vessel so I hear, you
Chorus
In my head,youre always in my head
In my fears,youre always in my head
In my joy,youre always in my head
In my tears, youre always in my head
Youre like a cool breeze, on a summers day
You are a river, running through a desert plain
Youve been my shelter, from the pouring rain
You were my comfort, even before the paincause I hear you
Chorus
In my head, youre always in my head
In my dreams, youre always in my head
In my pain, youre always in my head
In my peace, youre always in my head
Chorus
In my head,youre always in my head
In my fears, youre always in my head
In my joy, youre always in my head
In my tears, youre always in my head

Popsicle
(chorus)
Youre my pop-si-cle!
From the very first time I met you, girl, you captured me
Youre my pop-si-cle!
All I know is that you make me feel so fancyfree.
Gonna love you for a lifetime
And I know youre gonna love me too
You make me feel, feel so real
And it feels so good, through and through
Sweeter than candy
Better than cake
And everytime we kiss
It feels oh so great
Girl, cant you see?
Youre the one, youre the one for me!
Chorus
When I call you up on my favorite party line
You sound so sweet, girl. youre blowing my mind
Our love is much better than any other I know
And it keeps on growing, more and more
Girl, cant you see?
Youre the one, youre the one for me!
Chorus
Pop pop pop pop pop popsicle!
Hey, hey, little girl with your pretty dress on
Ive been wanting you to want me for my whole life long
You knock me off my feet, girl, youre a super treat
When I see you in the street you make my heart skip a beat
Youre the one who makes me feel alright
When I look into your eyes, you know youre really out of sight
Im for you and youre for me
We could stay together so easily
Pop pop pop pop pop popsicle!
Girl, cant you see?
Youre the one, youre the one for me!

Pop pop pop pop pop popsicle!

Paradise
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to western kentucky where my parents were born
And theres a backwards old town thats often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.
Chorus:
And daddy wont you take me back to muhlenberg county
Down by the green river where paradise lay
Well, Im sorry my son, but youre too late in asking
Mister peabodys coal train has hauled it away
Well, sometimes wed travel right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison down by adrie hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and wed shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
Repeat chorus:
Then the coal company came with the worlds largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.
Repeat chorus:
When I die let my ashes float down the green river
Let my soul roll on up to the rochester dam
Ill be halfway to heaven with paradise waitin
Just five miles away from wherever I am.
Repeat chorus:

Cant Get Enough Of Your Love
(barry white)
Ive heard people say that
Too much of anything
Is not good for you baby
But... I dont know about that
...as many times as weve loved
Shared love and made love
It doesnt... seem to me
Like its ever, ever enough
Its just not enough
Chorus:
My darling, I , cant get enough of your love babe
I dont know I dont know I dont know why
I cant get enough of your love babe
Oh some things I cant get used to
No matter how I try
Its like the more you give the more I want
And baby thats no lie, oh no babe
Tell me what can I say
What am I gonna do
How should I feel, when everything is you you you
What kind of love is this
That youve given me
Is it in your kiss or just because youre sweet
All I know is every time youre near
I feel a change
Somethings moving
I scream your name
What you got me doing
(repeat chorus)
If I could make you see
And make you understand
Your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand
Oh well babe
How can I explain
All the things I feel
Youve given me so much
Youre so unreal, unreal, unreal
Still I keep loving you
More and more each time
What am I gonna do
Cause youve blown my mind
I get the same old feeling
Every time youre near
I feel a change
Somethings moving
I scream your name
What you got me doing
(repeat chorus)

Happy Ending
i may be a princess to you
but youre not a prince to me
no use rescuing me from a tower
im not there to be reascued too
my king youll never be
i dont believe in never say never
cant you see what im saying
[pre-chorus]
now is not the time
there is no time for you
oh
[chorus]
theres no time for your happy ending
youre happy ending is long gone and forgotten
its worth nothin'
mines worth somethin'
that love you sent isnt sending
like i said theres no time for your happy ending
some days ill try to break free
of this misery
some days ill try to find
a thought swarming in my mind
to say to you
i dont know what to do
[repeat pre-chorus and chorus]
there must be something going on
this dumb thing is making me run
what is that called again
oh yes a rumor
it must end sooner
ive counted rumors up to ten
[repeat pre-chorus and chorus]
you cant be happy when there is no happiness
you cant be angry when there is no angryness
you cant be sad when there is no sadness
you cant be mad when there is no madness
in the air
please dont look and stare
at me
please
[repeat pre-chorus and chorus]
no time i said for your happy ending

How Deep Is Your Love
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And its me you need to show
Chorus:
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
cause were living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
Youre the light in my deepest darkest hour
Youre my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And its me you need to show

Living Against The River
(j.p. maunick)
In the early morning light you step into the cold
Your curses freeze mid air, the bus is late
Youve got to get to work on time, your job is on the line
Soon youll start again, the same routine
Deep inside your mind, the dreamers dream youll find
As the day is long, it keeps you moving on
Trying to stay ahead as best you can
Sweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourself
Chorus:
(theres no stoppin)
(living against the river)
Do what you do what you do
(got to keep pushing)
(when youre living against the river)
Do what you do what you do
As the light begins to fade and youre heading back for home
Your head is hanging low, youre feeling blue
From the corner of your eyes, under neon lights you see
The old man in the snow with worn out shoes
Sweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourself

Where Are You Going
I dont know where Im going
But I do know where Ive been
I wonder if Im growing
Forever chasing wind
Ive got to keep on moving
Destination still unknown
The more I keep on looking
The more I feel so alone
Chorus:
I never ask you where youre going, so dont ask me
Where are you going?
Not everybody knows where theyre supposed to be
Where are you going?
So if youll please point me in the right vicinity
Where are you going?
I never ask you where youre going, so dont ask me
Im not so good so far
Fell off the beaten track
cause sometimes we go forward
Must take two steps back

Cant Deny
Its late at night and no ones around
And only my heart is making a sound
I lay awake alone in my bed
And I cant sleep should I call you instead
I think of you far too much cause you, youre one of a kind
Im not like an open book
cause Ive got something in mind
Chorus:
You know I cant deny the way I feel inside
I wont be hiding my love
You know I cant disguise youre always on my mind
And now I cant get enough
Give me love, I know that you can
I like the strength of a confident man
Its in my blood and all through my veins
You feel it once and youre never the same
Whenever I close my eyes youre there. I feel it inside
But why am I holding in my love, I cant tell you why
Repeat chorus
I think of you far too much cause you, youre one of a kind
Im not like an open book cause Ive got something in mind

Cant deny the way I feel inside

My Kind Of Woman / My Kind Of Man
You dont need diamonds or big fancy cars
You say your happy right where you are
Were bound together by a little gold band
Youre my kind of woman
Oh, youre my kind of man
Oh living without you is my only fear
You still drive me crazy when I hold you near
My body trembles with each touch of your hand
Youre my kind of woman
Oh, youre my kind of man
Chorus:
Youre my kind of woman
Youre my kind of man
A match made in heaven
By gods gentle hands
Ill love you forever
Together well stand
Youre my kind of woman
Youre my kind of man

The Magic of the Breeze – 32 I used to travel by train
I used to travel by train
Previously too – The travel
At night, the distant lights
The stars in sky, hopeful dreams
The sound of thundering wheels
Singing a song to the rhythm
Of the beat of the heart of steel
The rush of the wind
Standing by the door
I used to think what means all this
The fury and sound, the very travel
The people I used to meet or travel with
No one has been able to erase the sadness
Or ease the pain I feel when traveling
I used to feel all alone by the door
And life speeding by towards the end.
I have enjoyed my travel too
In groups with friends now far apart
I remember days gone by never to come
But, however long the distance
I used to stand at least half the time.
With you I now sit and enjoy
It is no longer a pain
Before travel was business
Travel was necessary and unavoidable
It was an escape sometimes
Just the act of traveling – running away
But, I always had to come back
And face life alone, just alone.
Now, you have shown me
The other side of travel by train
The train is still the train
The people, crowd all are the same
But yet not the very same,
You and I, no one else I see
Time, with it all people, the crowd
Are frozen in time and none exists
Other than just the two of us
I myself am in a dream till the end
Drinking the air and feeling
The breeze and you fill each cell
I no longer think, I only wait
To feel the brush of your touch
And the kiss of the breeze!

Growing Up
Folded in your fleshy purse
I am floating once again
While the muted sounds are pumping rhythm
All the walls close in on me
Pressures building wave on wave
til the water breaks and outside I go, oh
One dot, thats on or off, defines what is and what is not, one dot
Two dot, a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, complete surprise, two dot
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
Three dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe,
Three dot
Four dot, is what will make a square, a bed to build on, its all there,
Four dot
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
All the slow clouds pass us by
Make the empire state look high
As you take me in your sea-stained sweetness
It spills, it tingles and it stings
All the pleasure that it brings
til the door has let the outside inside here
Well on the floor theres a long wooden table
On the table theres an open book
On the page theres a detailed drawing
And on the drawing is the name I took
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
My ghost likes to travel
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
The breathing stops, I dont know when
In transition once again
Such a struggle getting through these changes
And it all seems so absurd
To be flying like a bird
When I do not feel Ive really landed here

Hand To Hold On To
You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That youre cool.........so cool..........so cool.
Say, imunna hold onto that a while and I will and Ill be tame,
Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,
Be an old girl drivin the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.
Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Dont need to be no strong hand
Dont need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to
Havin good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,
Go to work and be a hollywood stand,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but
Repeat chorus
And in those hours when youre alone,
And theres nobody there except yourself,
I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, talk to me, talk to me, somebody please
Talk to me! yeah!

Moving On
Moving on our way
Moving on our way
I will always remember
Our first days together
It felt like we had known each other forever
We were dreamers
And we were believers
To give up everything
To follow this dream
But one thing that we have learnt is to stand, together as one
And nothing will overcome
And nothings gonna stop us now
Chorus:
Moving on our way
Were moving on in the one direction
Were growing stronger with each passing day
Were moving on ewell always remember
All of our friends all along the way
Moving on our way
Now theres been hard times
As the road unwinds
Weve grown closer
Its been worth all the sacrifice
Times are changing
And I hear what you say
Cantlook at the world
Through innocent eyes
We promise we will never forget the message
Keep the faith as long as youre here
By our side
Well make this music last for all time

God Must Of Spent Alittle More Time On You
Can this be true?
Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like Im losing control?
Never new that love could feel like this
And you changed my world with just one kiss.
How can it be that right here with me
Theres an angel?
Its a miracle
Chorus
Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I could never keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that its true
God must of spent
A little more time
On you
In all of creation
All things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than
Any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold
When you came into this world
And Im trying hard to figure out
Just hope I ever did without
The warmth of your smile
The heart of a child
Thats deep inside
Leaves me purified
