I, I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and stop to see your day
You, you really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away
I, I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and bathe in light all day
You, you really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside in the cave where you lay

No April rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

 

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

Bill
I love you so I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May
(Eyes of May)
Oh but am I ever gonna see my wedding day
(Wedding day)
I was on your side Bill when you were losin'
(When you were losin')
I'd never scheme or lie Bill there's been no fooling
(There's been no fooling)
But kisses and love won't carry me
'Til you marry me Bill

I must've been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

'

But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Fooled around and fell in love

Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street

 

They're dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York City (dancing in the street)
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

I want to run but there's nowhere to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
'Cause you're taking away all my reasons for livin'
When you pushed aside all the love I been givin'
Now wait a minute

 

Didn't I treat you right, now baby, didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could now, didn't I?

 

So don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding
You'd understand it less than I

What's the buzz, tell me what's a-happening?
What's the buzz, tell me what's a-happening?
What's the buzz, tell me what's a-happening?
What's the buzz, tell me what's a-happening?

Hush now baby baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your
Nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
She won't let you fly

But she might let you sing
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm

Mama, Just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger,
Now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

 

Mama, oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry

Seh, seh, seh I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba observing the 'ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh

Takin' my time, choosin' my lines
Tryin' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop, don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you

 

Seems to me you don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me you just turn your pretty head and walk away

Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern islands
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Hip Hop hooray, Ho Hey Ho 

 

You drew a picture of my morning

But you couldn't make my day,

Hey! I'm rockin' and you're yawning

But you never look my way,

Hey! I'm licking down you darlin'

In every single way,

Down at the Astoria the scene was changing
Bingo and rock were pushing out x-rating
We were the first band to vomit at the bar
And find the distance to the stage too far
Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock
Rock is dead they say
Long live rock

Let's go down to the Sunset Grill
We can watch the working girls go by
Watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble
And stare out at the auburn sky
There's an old man there from the Old World
To him, it's all the same
Calls all his customers by name
Down at the Sunset Grill

Some girls take my money, some girls take my clothes
Some girls get the shirt off my back, and leave me with a lethal dose

 

French girls they want Cartier, Italian girls want cars
American girls want everything in the world you can possibly imagine

 

English girls they're so prissy, I can't stand them on the telephone
Sometimes I take the receiver off the hook, I don't want them to ever call at all

Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
