02 I love you more than you ever know (05.56
If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you baby
You know I hurt myself as well.
Is that any way for a man to carry on ?
You think he wants his little loved one gone
I love you baby, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know.
When I wasn't makin' too much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby
And I never spent one red cent.
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
You think he wants his little loved one gone
I love you baby, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know.
I'm not tryin' to be any kind of man
I'm tryin' to be somebody you can love, trust and understand
I know that I can dream, yeah
A part of you that no one else could see
I just gotta hear, hear you say: 'It's all right, yeah, yeah, yeah'.
I'm only flesh and blood
I can be anything that you demand
I could president of General Motors baby, heh
Or just a tiny little grain of sand.
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
You think he wants his little loved one gone
I love you babe, I love you babe
I love you more than you'll ever know.
Yeah, Yeah, yeah.
If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you
You know I hurt myself as well.
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
You think he wants his little loved one gone
I tried to tell I love you baby, love you baby, yeah love you baby
I love you more than you'll ever know, ooh yeah yeah...
I love you, I love you, I love you baby.
Well all right!
I told you so many times before
I love you, I love you, I love you
If you don't know then I'll tell you one more time
I love you, I love you, I love you...
03 Morning glory (04.14 Tim Buckley
I lit my purest candle
Close to my window
Hoping it would catch the eye
Of any vagabond who had passed it by
And I waited in my fleeting house
Before he came
I felt him drawing near
Asked him in
I felt the ancient fear
That he had come to my door and jeered
And I waited in my fleeting house
Tell me stories, I called to the hobo
Stories of Cold, I smiled to the hobo
Stories of old, I knelt to the hobo
And he stood before me
In my fleeting house.
No, said the hobo
No more tales of time
Don't ask me now to wash away the grime
I can't come in 'cause
It's too hard a climb
And he walked away from my fleeting house
Then you'll be damned
I screamed to the hobo
Leave me alone, I wept to the hobo
Turn into stone, I knelt to the hobo
And he walked away from my fleeting house
I lit my purest candle
Close to my window
Hoping it would catch the eye
Of any vagabond who passed it by
And I waited in my fleeting house
04 My days are numbered (03.16
I woke up and found
No one beside me
No hand to hold onto
and no lips to guide me
what a hard world to face
in the light of an angry sun
ain't it hard to get on,
if you ain't got that someone
And it seems that my days are numbered
down to a precious few
People I know that
My days are numbered
'cause I can't get it back together
without you.
I see the heaven moonlight
see it drippin' down my window
flowing like a river
through the tears that I have cried
I gotta find myself, hey
a reason to go on living
but you can't breathe life into somethin'
that's already died
And it seems that my days are numbered
down to a precious few
People I know that
My days are numbered
'cause I can't get it back together
without you.
And it seems that my days are numbered
down to a precious few
People I know that
My days are numbered
'cause I can't get it back together
without you.
Hey Hey
I got ta tell you right now
Every morning
05 Without her (02.41 Harry Nilsson
I spend the night in a chair
Thinking' she'll be there
But she never comes
And I wake up and wipe
The sleep from my eyes
And I rise, to spend another day
Without her
It's just no good anymore
When you walk through the door
Of an empty room
You go inside and set a table for one
It's no fun
When you have to spend the day without her
We burst the pretty balloon
Took us to the moon
Such a beautiful thing
But it's ended now and it sounds like a lie
If I said I'd rather die,
Than be without her
Love is a beautiful thing
When it knows how to swing
And it grooves like a clock
But the hands on the clock
Tell the lovers to the part
And it's breakin' my heart
To spend another day without her
I'll spend the night in a chair
Thinking she'll be there
But she'll never come
And I'll wake up and wipe
The sleep from my eyes
And I'll rise and spend the day without her
Can't go on without her
There's no song without her
Can't go on without her.
06 Just one smile (04.34 Gene Pitney
Can I cry a little bit
There's nobody to notice it
Can I cry if I want to
No one cares
Why can't I pretend
That you love me again?
All I had has been taken from me
Now I'm cryin'
And tears don't become me
Just one smile,
Pain's forgiven
Just one kiss, girl
Now the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my,
Make my little life worth livin'
A little dream to build my world upon
How I wish
I could say
All the things that I forgot to say
How I wish you
Could see what's here
In My heart
I don't ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch
Try to forget
Well, the Lord knows I'm tryin'
But it's so hard to forget girl,
When your whole world is dyin'
Just one smile,
Pain's forgiven
Just one kiss, girl
Now the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my,
Make my little life worth livin'
A little dream to build my world upon
Try to forget
Well, the Lord knows I'm tryin'
But it's so hard to forget girl,
When your whole world is dyin'
Just one smile,
Pain's forgiven
Just one kiss, girl
Now the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my,
Make my little life worth livin'
A little dream to build my world upon
07 I can't quit her (03.35
I can't quit her
She's got a hold on me
She got her hand on my soul
I can't quit her
'cause I see her face everywhere I go
In the city streets, in the country fields
In the back of my mind
I know it can't be real
For a woman to possess
all the tenderness she had
But the hands of time
keep tickin' on my back
'cause it's been so long
since I had her back beside me,
Yeah, I know
I can't quit her
'cause on my darkest night
she comes on like a light
I can't quite her
Try as I may, with all my might
She had a woman's touch
And a young girls eyes,
and in seconds flat I was pros'lytized
turned around,
and made to feel sweet love
But the hands of time
Keep tickin' on my back
'cause it's been so long
since I had her back beside me
True love is somethin'
ev'ry young boy knows about
and he fights his whole soul all the best to find some
I was a young boy
'till I held her in my arms
now I find that I'm strung out behind some
I can't quit her
She got her hand on me
she got a hold on my soul
'cause I your face everywhere I go
I can't quit her, woo ooo yeah
I know
You know I see your face
Everywhere I go!
I need her... I need the little girl
08 Meagan's gypsy eyes (03.22
Meagan's Gyspy eyes
The lyres surround me
Purple drops of rain
The sun shone around me
Death that clouds her life
Will be forever
Thee is loved
Yet cannot love, not never
Mystic thoughts of love
And her's completely
Taught her how to run
Though not discreetly
Meagan's not as old
As she'd like to think she's young
Sophisticated dreams
Are as plastic as the songs
She has sung
Likes to think she's hung up on herself
And aren't you lucky?
Meagan's Gypsy eyes
The lyres surround me
Purple drops of rain
The sun shone around me
09 Somethin' goin' on (07.58
You know I woke up this morning people
The first thing I did was to look into your eyes
In that space where I used to find so much truthfullness
Was a stone cold pack of lies.
You know there's somethin's going on
Somethin's goin' on but I don't know what it is
Somethin's goin' on people, all right.
I went on down to the mailbox
Seems I got the phone bill yesterday
Charging me for some hour conversation
From someone in L.A.
You know there's somethin's going on
Somethin's goin' on but I don't know what it is
Somethin's goin' on behind my back
I better get to the bottom of this.
Now wait a minute!
I wanna hear you blow now
Go ahead, go ahead
I want you to blow for all the men whose women who don't keep a true love now
I want you to blow for all the people who have to face an empty bed now
Go ahead, blow one for yourself
Blow one for me too
Yeah, listen
You got to love your woman in the morning
You got to love your woman in the night
You got to love your woman all the time, to make her feel all right
You got to give her what she wants
When she wants it, how she wants it, anytime she might think she wants it
Aaaahhh !
When you're lovin' your woman people
Both of you know the score
You know it can make a long-time man suspicious
To come home, to an unlocked door.
You're finally knowin', somethin's going on
Somethin's going on but you don't know what it is
Somethin's going on people
I better get to the bottom of this, look out!
10 House in the country (03.05
[Spoken:]
"House in the Country," take one
No need to worry
Folks in a hurry
leave them behind you
no one can find you
House in the country
House in the country
All the relaxin'
Will soon fill the cracks in
Good for your head too
If you are led to
House in the country
House in the country
Green surrounding
Love abounding
You won't find a manhole there
Yes, yes I need you
Come let me feed you
I've never tried to
Come let me hide you
House in the country
House in the country
I have never brought anybody there
Bring your own chair to sleep in
When we arrive, after the drive
Then you can shower, and talk for an hour
Then sleep in your chair
Sleep on the floor there
Don't ask for more there
Sun wakes you up too
Glad you came up to
House in the country
House in the country
La la la la la
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
11 The Modern Adventures Of Plato, Diogenes And Freud (04.10
Father of my morning,
Once my child to the night
I see that you have minds to cop
And I can only watch the sickened sorrow
Little do you know
of the progressions that you teach
the people that you reach are tired
of livin' in a world of elastic towers
dance with them and sing a song of changes
and talk with them of life and all its dangers
surround yourself with now familiar strangers
who kiss and who hug and eventually mug you of your time
And the clock on the wall is a bore
as you wander past the door
and find him lying on the floor
as he begs you for some more, you frozen smile
You cannot ever picture me
you know me by my thoughts
A file for your travelogue
oblivious to the night, the fog around you
The germs they are rediculous
they bother you at night
the blood that rushes to your brain
the ticket on the plane you're never catching
the price you pay exclusive of your taxes
to chop you up inside with tiny axes
the girl looks up to you from floors she waxes
and speaks to your belt with tears among her eyes
and the clock on the wall is a bore
as you wander past the door
and find him lying on the floor
as he begs you for some more, you frozen smile
The metaphysic wrinkles in the face of what you face
Are hidden by the fake-up man
who lives inside the sterno can beside you
Now climb ye to the mountains
as the sun is almost gone
escaping from your other selves
your brothers hide among the shelves inside you
the games that people play can only bore you
but only those that know you don't ignore you
how many times have I come there to restore you
And caught you lying on the couch with father time
and the clock on the wall is a bore
as you wander past the door
and find him lying on the floor
as he begs you for some more, you frozen smile
12 So much love / Underture (04.38 The Hour Glass
More than enough to last a whole life through
And it's all for you
In the midst of all my darkness baby
You know you came along to guide me
You took pity on a lonely man
When you said you'd stand beside me
I'll never forget you
For what you done little girl
I'll never turn my back on you for anyone
'cause I've got
So much loving
I'm a natural man
So much loving
More than enough to last
A whole life through
And it's all for you
When My world was cold and empty
And I needed somebody near me
I called out on the mountainside. Yeah
Knowing full well that you'd hear me
Now to you that might seem like a little thing
But to me, it's like changing winter to spring
But I've got
So much loving
I'm a natural man
So much loving
It's more than enough to last
My whole life through
And it's all for you
Listen to me baby
There's so few women, nowadays
Who understand the soul of a man
And who understand
They're only always taken in
Never are free, of a helpin' hand yeah
I know that you, yes I know that ya, you know what to do girl
Any trouble comes, I know you're bound to see me through
With more than enough
To last a whole life through
'cause I've got
So much loving
I'm a natural man
I want you to understand
I love ya I love ya.
Wooo
