[Greywind]

Dim and wavering
On a wind-blown night
Whose honor, whose anger
Cold and quivering
As was the wind-blown night
Into which she'd fallen, fallen
Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Beautiful as you are
With that high spirit
Morning star of evil hit me
Cut me like a knife
Cool and collected
She became that with time
Totally rejected
Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
It's all in the eyes
It's all in the way that you look
It's all in the way that you say very little
It's all in the way that you talk
Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen, fallen, fallen
Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen
Freedom
Freedom
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Freedom
Come with me
Poor little fool
Freedom

[Pariah]

It was April the Forty-first, being a quadruple leap year;

I was driving in downtown Atlantis.

My Barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented Stingray, and it was overheating.

So I pulled into a Shell station;

They said I'd blown a seal.

I said, "Fix the dam thing and leave my private life out of it, okay, pal?"

 

While they were doing that, I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar.

A real dive.

But I knew the owner; he used to play for the dolphins.

I said, "HI GILL!"

(You have to yell, he's hard of herring.)

 

Think I had a wet dream

Cruisin' through the Gulf stream.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Wet dream.

 

Gill was also down on his luck.

Fact is, he was barely keeping his head below water.

I bellied up to the sandbar;

He poured the usual: Rusty Snail, hold the grunion, shaken, not stirred.

With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side, heavy on the mako.

I slipped him a fin, on porpoise.

I was feeling good; I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's Squids-

For the halibut.

 

Well, the place was crowded.

We were packed in like sardines.

They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal.

What sole.

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna,

"Salmon chanted Evening"

And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers,

Probably there to see the bass player.

 

One of them was this cute little yellowtail, and she was givin' me the eye.

So I figured this was my chance for a little fun.

You know, piece of Pisces.

 

But she said things I just couldn't fathom.

She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure.

Boy, could she drink. She drank like a...

She drank a lot.

 

I said, "What's your sign?"

She said, "Aquarium."

I said, "Great! Let's get tanked!"

 

Think I had a wet dream

Cruisin' through the Gulf stream.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Wet dream.

 

I invited her up to my place for a little midnight bait.

I said, "C'mon baby, it'll only take a few minnows."

She threw me that same old line:

"Not tonight, I got a haddock."

 

And she wasn't kidding, either, cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock I'd ever seen come down the pike.

He was covered with mussels.

He came over to me; he said, "Listen, Shrimp.

Don't you come trollin' around here." What a crab.

This guy was steamed.

I could see the anchor in his eyes.

 

I turned to him and I said, "Abalone! You're just being shellfish."

Well, I knew there was going to be trouble, and so did Gill, cause he was already on the phone to the cods.

 

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch.

I catch him with a left hook.

He eels over.

It was a fluke, but there he was, lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel.

Kelpless.

 

I said, "Forget the cods, Gill. This guy's going to need a sturgeon.

Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend.

She came over to me; she said, "Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish.

What's your name?"

I said, "Marlin."

 

Think I had a wet dream

Cruisin' through the Gulf stream.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Wet dream.

 

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time.

I took her to dinner.

I took her to dance.

I bought her a bouquet of flounders.

And then I went home with her.

And what did I get for my trouble?

 

A case of the clams.

 

Think I had a wet dream

Cruisin' through the Gulf stream.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Wet dream.

Who can I turn to

When nobody needs me

My heart wants to know

And so I must go

Where destiny leads me

With no star to guide me

And no one beside me

I'll go on my way

And after the day

That darkness will hide me

 

And maybe tomorrow

I'll find what I'm after

I'll throw off my sorrow

They're still borrow

My share of laughter

With you I could learn to

With you on a new day

But who can I turn to

If you turn away

 

With you I could learn to

With you on a new day

But who can I turn to

If you turn away

[Sundog]

Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son?
Where have you been, my darling young one?

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
Walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in a mouth of a graveyard

It's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

 

Oh what did you see, my blue eyed son?
What did you see, my darling young one?

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
A white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children

And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard hard
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

 

And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
What did you hear, my darling young one

I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
Heard one person starve, many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley

And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard hard hard hard 
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

 

Oh who you did meet, my blue eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?

I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young girl whose body was burning
A young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
Another man who was wounded with hatred

And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

 

Oh what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
What'll you do now, my darling young one?

I'm goin' back out 'fore the rain starts fallin'
Walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where people are many and their hands are all empty
Where pellets of poison are flooding the waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, and none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand in the ocean until I start sinking
But I'll know my song well before I start singing

And it's a hard it's a hard and it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a so hard
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

[Greywind]

Well it seems that everyone we know
The loves grown cold, while ours stand the storm
One by one they break
It such a shame
And now you say you want to do the same

Don't toss us away
So thoughtlessly
It just ain't right
Oh can't you see?
I still love you
I want you to stay
Darlin please don't toss us away

Well just think of all that we been through
The world we're building..me and you
How could all those years be tossed away
In just one moment..in just one day

Don't toss us away
It just ain't right
To let love die without a fight
I still love you
I want you to stay
Darlin please don't toss us away

So now I'm asking once again
To understand, to be my friend
Oh it hurts so bad to think you'd go
But still the same, I love you so

Don't toss us away
So thoughtlessly
It just ain't right
Oh can't you see?
I still love you
I want you to stay
Darlin please, don't toss us away

Oh darlin please
Don't toss us away

[Greywind]

Looking at you through a misty moonlight,
Katydid sing like a symphony.
Porch swing swaying like a Tennessee lullaby,
Melody blowing through the willow tree.

What was I s'posed to do,
Standing there looking at you?
Lonely boy far from home...

Maybe it was Memphis,
Maybe it was southern summer nights.
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me,
But it sure felt right.

Read about you in a Faulkner novel,
Met you once in a Williams' play.
Heard about you in a country love song,
Summer night beauty took my breath away.

What was I s'posed to do,
Standing there looking at you?
Lonely boy far from home.

Maybe it was Memphis,
Maybe it was southern summer nights.
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me,
But it sure felt right.

Maybe it was Memphis,
Maybe it was southern summer nights.
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me,
But it sure felt right.

Every night now since I been back home,
I lie awake drifting in my memory.
Think about you on your mama's front porch swing
Talking that way, so soft to me.

What was I s'posed to do,
Standing there looking at you?
Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis,
Maybe it was southern summer nights.
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me,
But it sure felt right.

In a cozy little restaurant for lovers
It seems so out of place for you and me
We used to play around, under the covers
But now it's just a place to watch TV

So love me like you used to
When our love was brand new
And, darlin', when we're through
You can love me again

And hold me like you want to
Instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me
When you used to love me

Baby, we could use a long vacation
But the trouble here is bound to tag along
We used to be each other's inspiration
When it only took my touch to turn you on

So love me like you used to
When our love was brand new
And darlin', when we're through
You can love me again

And hold me like you want to
Instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me
When you used to love me

Well, we used to sit and talk about forever
But now we hardly ever talk at all
We walked a lot of tightropes together
We always caught each other when we'd fall

So love me like you used to
When our love was brand new
And darlin', when we're through
You can love me again

And hold me like you want to
Instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me
When you used to love me

Love me like you used to
When you used to love me

Spring was never waiting for us, girl

It ran one step ahead

As we followed in the dance

Between the parted pages and were pressed

In love's hot, fevered iron

Like a striped pair of pants

 

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

Oh no !

 

I recall the yellow cotton dress

Foaming like a wave

On the ground around your knees

The birds, like tender babies in your hands

And the old men playing checkers by the trees

 

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

Oh no !

 

There will be another song for me

For I will sing it

There will be another dream for me

Someone will bring it

I will drink the wine while it is warm

And never let you catch me looking at the sun

And after all the loves of my life

After all the loves of my life

You'll still be the one

 

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it

I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it

I will have the things that I desire

And my passion flow like rivers through the sky

And after all the loves of my life

Oh, after all the loves of my life

I'll be thinking of you

And wondering why

 

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

Oh no !

 

Oh no

No

Oh no !

"How to handle a woman ?

There's a way", said the wise old man

"A way known by every woman

Since the whole rigmarole began”

 

Do I flatter her? I begged, him answer

Do I threaten or cajole or plead ?

Do I brood or play the gay romancer ?

Said he, smiling, "No indeed”

 

“How to handle a woman ?

Mark me well, I will tell you, sir

The way to handle a woman

Is to love her, simply love her

Merely love her, love her, love her"

[death tribble]

We're Knights of the Round Table,

We dance when 'ere we're able,

We do routines and chorus scenes

With footwork impeccable.

We dine well here in Camelot,

We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.

 

We're Knights of the Round Table,

Our shows are formidable, But many times, we're given rhymes

That are quite unsingable.

We're Opera mad in Camelot,

We sing from the diaphragma looooooot.

 

In war we're tough and able,

Quite indefatigable,

Between our quests we sequin vests,

And impersonate Clark Gable.

It's a busy life in Camelot,

I have to push the pram a lot.

[death tribble]

Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.

Some things in life are bad,

They can really make you mad.

Other things just make you swear and curse.

When you're chewing on life's gristle,

Don't grumble, give a whistle !

And this'll help things turn out for the best

And

 

Always look on the bright side of life !

 

Always look on the bright side of life

If life seems jolly rotten,

There's something you've forgotten!

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,

 

When you're feeling in the dumps,

Don't be silly chumps,

Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing !

And always look on the bright side of life !

 

Come on !

 

Always look on the bright side of life

 

For life is quite absurd,

And death's the final word.

You must always face the curtain with a bow !

Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,

Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow !

 

So always look on the bright side of death !

Just before you draw your terminal breath.

Life's a piece of s**t,

When you look at it.

 

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,

You'll see it's all a show,

Keep 'em laughing as you go.

Just remember that the last laugh is on you !

 

And always look on the bright side of life

 

Always look on the bright side of life

 

Come on guys, cheer up

 

Always look on the bright side of life

 

Always look on the bright side of life

 

Worse things happen at sea you know

 

Always look on the bright side of life

 

I mean, what have you got to lose ?

you know, you come from nothing

you're going back to nothing

what have you lost ? Nothing !

 

Always look on the bright side of life

[Pariah]

Like a shipwrecked mariner adrift on an unknown sea

Clinging to the wreckage of the lost ship Fantasy

 

I'm a castaway, stranded in a desolate land

I can see the footprints in the virtual sand

 

Net boy, net girl

Send your signal 'round the world

Let your fingers walk and talk

And set you free

 

Net boy, net girl

Send your impulse 'round the world

Put your message in a modem

And throw it in the Cyber Sea

 

Astronauts in the weightlessness of pixelated space

Exchange graffiti with a disembodied race

 

I can save the universe in a grain of sand

I can hold the future in my virtual hand

 

Net boy, net girl

Send your signal 'round the world

Let your fingers walk and talk

And set you free

 

Net boy, net girl

Send your impulse 'round the world

Put your message in a modem

And throw it in the Cyber Sea

 

Let's dance tonight

To a virtual song

Press this key

And you can play along

 

Let's fly tonight

On our virtual wings

Press this key

To see amazing things

To see amazing things

 

Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between two passing trains

Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain

 

I can smell her perfume, I can taste her lips

I can feel the voltage from her fingertips

 

Net boy, net girl

Send your heartbeat 'round the world

Let your fingers walk and talk

And set you free

 

Net boy, net girl

Send your impulse 'round the world

Put your message in a modem

And throw it in the Cyber Sea

[Pariah]

I only have eye for you

I love your skin so blue 

(Mmm, I do)

 

I love the way you slither when you come up to the door

I love the trail of slime you leave across the hardwood floor

 

I used to love the pretty monsters, scaring me to death

But now they're just a dime a dozen, hardly worth my breath

 

For you are my scream come true

And I only have eye for you

 

I only have eye for you

Oh, your kisses taste like glue

 

Your snaky hair keeps waving in the moments when we're kissing

Are you whispering, "I love you," or is it just your hairdo hissing?

 

I love to rub your aching feet, to me they look identical

I love to take you dancing and sweep you off your tentacles

 

For you are my scream come true

And I only have eye for you

[Cancer]

But the pedal floored easy

Without a sound

He said, "Christ!" (Christ)

It was funny how he'd named the only man who could save him now

[death tribble]

You promised me green grass, not to tell what you 'eard

Whispering grass, say you can't keep your word

Keep your word, sing Lofty

 

Why do you whisper, green grass

Why tell the trees what ain't so

Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know, no, no

 

Why tell them all your secrets

Who kissed there long ago

Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know

 

Don't you tell it to the breeze

Or she will tell the birds and bees

And everyone will know

Because you told the blabbering trees

Yes, you told them once before

It's no secret anymore

 

Why tell them all the old things

They're buried under the snow

Whispering grass, don't tell the trees

'cause the trees don't need to know

 

Don't you tell it to the breeze

Coz she will tell the birds and bees

And everyone will know

Because you told the blabbering trees

Oh yes, you told them once before

And It is no secret anymore

I will not have gossip in this jungle

 

Why tell them all the old things

They're buried under the snow

Whispering grass, don't tell the trees

'cause the trees don't need to know

[death tribble]

I'm not in love

So don't forget it

It's just a silly phase I'm going through

And just because

I call you up

Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

I'm not in love, no no, it's because.. 

 

I like to see you

But then again

That doesn't mean you mean that much to me

So if I call you

Don't make a fuss

Don't tell your friends about the two of us

I'm not in love, no no, it's because.. 

 

I keep your picture

Upon the wall

It hides a nasty stain that's lying there

So don't you ask me

To give it back 

I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me

I'm not in love, no no, it's because.. 

 

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me

Ooh you'll wait a long time

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me

Ooh you'll wait a long time 

 

I'm not in love

So don't forget it

It's just a silly phase I'm going through

And just because I call you up

Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

I'm not in love

I'm not in love

[Greywind]

As we sat on the front porch
of that old grey house where I was born and raised.
Staring at the dusty fields
where my daddy worked hard everyday.
I think it kinda hurt him when I said,
"Daddy there's a lot that I don't know.
But don't you ever dream about a life
where corn don't grow?"

He just sat there silent
staring at his favorite coffee cup.
I saw a storm of mixed emotions in his eyes
when he looked up.
He said "son I know at your age
it seems like this ole world is turnin' slow.
And you think you'll find the answer to it all
where corn don't grow."

Hard times are real
there's dusty fields no matter where you go.
You may change your mind
cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow.

I remember feeling guilty
when daddy turned and walked back in the house.
I was only 17 back then
but I thought that I knew more than I know now.
I can't say he didn't warn me
this city life's a hard row to hoe.
Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around,
where corn don't grow.

Hard times are real
there's dusty fields no matter where you go.
You may change your mind
cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow.

You may change your mind
oh the weeds are high where corn don't grow.

[death tribble]

If a picture paints a thousand words

Then why can't I paint you ?

The words will never show

The you I've come to know

And if a face could launch a thousand ships

 

Then where am I to go ?

There's no one home but you

You're all that's left me too

And when my love for life is running dry

 

You come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be two places at one time

I'd be with you tomorrow and today

 

Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving

Spinning

Spinning slowly down to die

 

I'd spend the end with you

And when the world was through

Then one by one the stars would all go out

Then you and I would simply fly away

[Greywind]

She said, "It's just a woman thing,"
And pulled out of the drive
I said not to worry
I'm and understanding guy
I heard that when you love someone

You gotta let them go
She hollered, "When I find myself
You'll be the first to know."
Ooo-hooo no news

I've learned to do the laundry
Feed the cat and clean the house
I promised to be patient
While she worked her problems out

When she packed her bags
Her destination was unclear
But I sensed that her intentions
Were honest and sincere
Ooo-hooo no news

She could telephone, tell a friend
Tell a lie about where she's been
Send a pigeon, send a fax
Write it on a postal pack
Send a signal up in smoke
Tap it out in morse code
I'd prefer a bad excuse

To no news

Her momma's been a little vauge
As to her whereabouts
Her sister says, "I'm certain
Your romance is headed south."

I don't have a single doubt
That she's still in love
My level of anxiety
Is just a product of
Ooo-hooo no news

She could telephone, tell a friend
Tell a lie about where she's been
Send a pigeon, send a fax
Write it on a postal pack
Send a signal up in smoke
Tap it out in morse code
I'd prefer a bad excuse

She missed her bus, missed her plane
Surely, this can be explained
Lost her car at the mall
Got locked in a bathroom stall

Joined a cult, joined the Klan
On the road with Pearl Jam
Buried with the Grateful Dead
Came back as a parrot head

Got derailed, got de-iced
Offered as a sacrifice
FBI, CIA, if they've seen her
They ain't saying
No news! Still no news!

[death tribble]

My love must be a kind of blind love.

I can't see anyone but you.

 

Are the stars out tonight ?

I don't know if it's cloudy or bright.

I only have eyes for you, dear.

 

The moon may be high,

But I can't see a thing in the sky.

'Cause I only have eyes for you.

 

I don't know if we're in a garden

Or on a crowded avenue.

 

You are here, so am I.

Maybe millions of people go by.

But they all disappear from view.

And I only have eyes for you.

[Greywind]

You see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday
See that face on the billboard
That man is me

On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smiling
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
Don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me

'Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright

I believe in the family
With my ever loving wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night

Do you believe in god
'Cause that's what I'm selling
And if you want to get to heaven
I'll see you right

You won't even have to leave your house
Or get outta your chair
You don't even have to touch that dial
'Cause I'm everywhere

And Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well he's been telling me
Everything's gonna be alright

Won't find me practicing what I'm preaching
Won't find me making no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Just do as I say, don't do as I do

I'm counting my blessings,
I've found true happiness
'Cause I'm getting richer, day by day
You can find me in the phone book,
Just call my toll free number
You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away

There'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everything I'm saying
If you want to get closer to him
Get on your knees and start paying

'Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well he's been telling me
Everything's gonna be alright, alright

'Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Oh yes he knows me and he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
And he's been telling me everything is alright, alright

Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know
Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know
Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know

[death tribble]

Why is it I must know the things you're doin'

A-Ho-Ho Ho-A-Ho

It's just my jealous mind

 

And when you're not at home

I just can't take it

A-Ho-Ho Ho-A-Ho

It's just my jealous mind

 

I dread the time when you might leave me

Deep in my heart

I know you'll never go

Oh

say you'll need me

You could be out with him

And I would never know

A-Ha-Ho Ho-A-Ho

It's just my jealous mind

 

I dread the time when you might leave me

Deep in my heart I know

You'll never go

Oh

say you'll need me

Stay with me all the time

Say there's no other guy

A-Ha-Ho Ho-A-Ho

It's just my jealous mind

I love you so

oh

it's just my jealous mind

Forgive my jealous mind

It's just my jealous mind

Blame it on my jealous mind

I can't help my jealous mind

It is just my jealous mind

It's in love that I'm so blind

Blame it on my jealous mind

So forgive my jealous mind

I met a fan dancer
Down in South Side Birmingham
She was running from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand
Now he's trying to save me
We'll I'm doing alright, the best that I can

Just another fallen angel
Trying to get through the night

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung
Climbing Jacob's ladder

Coming over the airwaves
The man says I'm overdue
Sing along, send some money
Join the chosen few

Well, Mister I'm not in a hurry
And I don't want to be like you
All I want from tomorrow
Is to get it better than today

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung
Climbing Jacob's ladder

All I want from tomorrow
Is to get it better than today

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung
Climbing and trying

Step by step, one by one
Step by step

Step by step
Step by step

As I was laying in my bedroom fast asleep

Filled with those famous teenage pictures that you keep

Will Dion still be so important to you on your wedding day?

 

Angel fingers angel fingers

How I sing for the things you do

How it lingers angel fingers

That's why I fell in love with you

 

I drove my motorcycle to that small cafe

That's when I heard our favorite record start to play

If I'm not singing in a suit that's clinging

Please don't walk away

 

Angel fingers angel fingers

How I sing for the things you do

How it lingers angel fingers

That's why I fell in love with you

 

If I could land a job with that cool rockin' band

You'd notice me with that red guitar in my hand

With money in my jeans baby

We could have all the things we planned

 

Angel fingers angel fingers

How I sing for the things you do

How it lingers angel fingers

That's why I fell in love with you

[death tribble]

I won't laugh at you when you boo-hoo-hoo coz I luv you

I can turn my back on the things you lack coz I luv you

I just like the things you do mmm,

don't you change the things you do mmm

You get me in a spot and smile the smile you got and I luv you

You make me out a clown then you put me down I still luv you

I just like the things you do mmm,

don't you change the things you do mmmm

 

When you bite your lip you're gonna flip your flip but I luv you

When we're miles apart you still reach my heart how I love you

I just like the things you do mmm,

don't you change the things you do mmm,

Only time can tell if we get on well coz I luv you

All that's passed us by we can only sigh hihi coz I luv you

I just like the things you do mmm,

don't you change the things you do mmm.
