[death tribble]

You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground,

And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round.

And he galloped into market street, his badge upon his chest,

His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

Now Ernie loved a widow, a lady known as Sue,

She lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number 22.

They said she was too good for him, she was haughty, proud and chic,

But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week.

 

They called him Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) 

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart,"

And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart.

He said, "D'you want it pasturize? 'Cause pasturize is best,"

She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest."

 

That tickled old Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) 

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

Now Ernie had a rival, an evil-looking man,

Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker's van.

He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread,

And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head.

 

She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said, "If you treat me right,

You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night."

He knew once she sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way,

And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day.

 

Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

One lunch time Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door,

It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four.

And as he lept down from his van hot blood through his veins did course,

And he went across to Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his 'orse.

 

Whose name was Trigger, (Triggerrrrrrrr)

And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

Now Ernie rushed out into the street, his gold top in his hand,

He said, "If you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man."

"Oh why don't we play cards for her?" he sneeringly replied,

"And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side."

 

Now Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun,

They stood there face to face, and Ted went for his bun.

But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned,

And a strawberry-flavoured yogurt sent it spinning from his hand.

 

Now Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart,

And Ernie, he pushed her aside and a rock cake caught him underneath his heart.

And he looked up in pained surprise and the concrete hardened crust,

Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust.

 

Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

 

Ernie was only 52, he didn't wanna die,

And now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky.

Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned,

And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy, dairy land.

 

But a woman's needs are many fold and soon she married Ted,

But strange things happened on their wedding night as they lay in their bed.

Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate ?

Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate ?

 

They won't forget Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeee)

And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

So long boy you can take my place, got my papers I've got my pay

So pack my bags and I'll be on my way to yellow river

Put my guns down the war is won

Fill my glass high the time has come

I'm going back to the place that I love yellow river

 

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes

Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love

Got no time for explanation got no time to lose

Tomorrow night you'll find me

Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river

 

Cannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad that I'm still alive

And I've been gone for such a long time from yellow river

I remember the nights were cool I can still see the water pool

And I remember the girl that I knew from yellow river

 

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes

Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love

Got no time for explanation got no time to lose

Tomorrow night you'll find me

Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river

 

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes

Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love

[Greywind]

I thought, I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around and he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry

Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore

There's nothing where he used to lie
The conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light

It crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care, I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can touch, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on this floor

Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

[death tribble]

Let's go for a little walk

Under the moon of love

Let's sit down and talk

Under the moon of love

 

I want to tell ya

That I love ya

And I want you to be my girl

Little darling let's walk

Under the moon of love

Little darling let's walk

Whisper things in your ear

Come on little darling take my hand

Let's go for a little walk

Must be getting early, clocks are running late.
Paint by number morning sky, looks so phony.
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care 'cause it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

I see you've got your fists out, say your piece and get out.
Guess I get the gist of it but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way.
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's we all must face
To try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of
To try to give a little love

I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears but it's alright

Cow is given kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of
To try to keep a little love

The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's all there really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cause it's alright

Oh, well, a touch of gray, kinda suits you anyway,
That's was all I had to say but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

It's a lesson to me,
The deltas and the East and the free
The ABC's we all must face,
Try to save a little grace.

We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive
We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive

I'm workin' my way back to you babe

With a burnin' love inside

Yeah I'm workin' my way back to you babe

And the happiness that died

 

I let it get away

Paying every day

 

When you were so in love with me

I played around like I was free

Thought I could have my cake and eat it too

But how I cried over losin' you

 

See me down and out

But I ain't about to go livin' my life without you

For every day, I made you cry

I'm payin' girl, till the day that I die

 

I'll keep workin' my way back to you babe 

With a burnin' love inside

I'm workin' my way back to you babe 

And the happiness that died

 

I let it get away

Been payin' every day

 

I used to love to make you cry (Make you cry)

It made me feel like a man inside (Baby, baby)

But if I'd been a man in reality (Cry, cry)

You'd still be here babe, lovin' me

 

Now the nights are long and lonely

And I ain't too strong babe, I just miss you so

And you're too proud, you won't give in

But when I think, about all I could win

 

I keep workin' my way back to you babe

With a burnin' love inside

Mmm, I'm workin' my way back to you babe

And the happiness that died

 

I let it get away

Been payin' every day

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

I'm workin' my way back to you babe

With a burnin' love inside

Ooh, I'm workin' my way back to you babe

And the happiness that died

 

Oh, how I cried

Workin' my way back to you babe

With a burnin' love inside

I'm workin' my way back to you babe

[death tribble]

I was dreaming of the past

and my heart was beating fast

I began to lose control

I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you 

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh my I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

 

I was feeling insecure

You might not love me anymore

I was shivering inside

I was shivering inside

Oh I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh my I didn't want to hurt you 

I'm just a jealous guy

 

I didn't mean to hurt you 

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh my I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

 

I was trying to catch your eyes

I thought that you were trying to hide 

I was swallowing my pain

I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you 

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh my I didn't want to hurt you 

I'm just a jealous guy

watch out baby I'm just a jealous guy

Look out baby I'm just a jealous guy

[death tribble]

Pressure pushing down on me

Pressing down on you, no man ask for

Under pressure that burns a building down

Splits a family in two

Puts people on streets

 

It's the terror of knowing

What this world is about

Watching some good friends

Screaming, "Let me out !"

Tomorrow gets me higher

Pressure on people - people on streets

 

Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor

These are the days - it never rains but it pours

People on streets - people on streets

 

It's the terror of knowing

What this world is about

Watching some good friends

Screaming, "Let me out !"

Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, higher...

Pressure on people - people on streets

 

Turned away from it all like a blind man

Sat on a fence but it don't work

Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn

Why, why, why ?

 

Love

 

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance ?

Why can't we give love that one more chance ?

Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love ?..

 

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word

And love dares you to care for

The people on the edge of the night

And love dares you to change our way of

Caring about ourselves

This is our last dance

This is our last dance

This is ourselves

Under pressure

Under pressure

Pressure

[death tribble]

Though I've tried before to tell her

Of the feelings I have for her in my heart

Every time that I come near her

I just lose my nerve

As I've done from the start

 

Every little thing she does is magic

Everything she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on

 

Do I have to tell the story

Of a thousand rainy days since we first met

It's a big enough umbrella

But it's always me that ends up getting wet

 

Every little thing she does is magic

Everything she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on

 

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day

And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way

But my silent fears have gripped me

Long before I reach the phone

Long before my tongue has tripped me

Must I always be alone?

 

Every little thing she does is magic

Everything she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on

 

(Every little thing she does is magic

Everything she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on

 

Every little thing

Every little thing

Every little thing

Every little thing

Every little

Every little

Every little

Every little thing she does

Every little thing she does

Every little thing she does

Every little thing she does

Thing she does is magic

 

Eee oh oh...)

 

Every little thing

Every little thing

Every little thing she does is magic magic magic

Magic magic magic

 

Do I have to tell the story

Of a thousand rainy days since we first met

It's a big enough umbrella

But it's always me that ends up getting wet

[death tribble]

Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise

Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice

With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west

You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV

Two of a billion stars it means so much to me

Like a birthday or a pretty view

But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down

At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive

You make me feel alive, alive alive

I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something

I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twists across a dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand

Her name is Rio she don't need to understand

And I might find her if I'm looking like I can

Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land

From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

[death tribble]

Ah click click,

Ah click click

 

I've been checking you up

I've been tracking you down

Funny all the things that I've found

Was it any surprise, didn't you realise, I must

Apologise

(It doesn't matter any more) to you

(cause everything you tell me is boring)

Nothings gonna throw me now

(It doesn't matter what I say) to you

Cause you've got that look in your eyes

The camera never lies

 

My camera never lies

So I'll put you in the picture and cut it down to size

(My camera oh oh)

My camera never lies anymore

Cause there's nothing worth lying for

(My camera never lies)

There's nothing worth lying for

(My camera never lies)

My camera never lies anymore

 

Try to cover the trail, try to head for the line

Wonder why you're wasting your time

With another disguise cause there's no compromise

When the negative is dry

(It doesn't matter what I do) for you

(cause every time you take me I'm sleeping)

 

You're never gonna shake me now

(It doesn't matter how I try) for you

(I can see by the look in your eyes)

(The camera never lies)

 

My camera never lies

So I'll put you in the picture and cut it down to size

(My camera oh oh)

My camera never lies anymore

Cause there's nothing worth lying for

(My camera never lies)

There's nothing worth lying for

(My camera never lies)

My camera never lies anymore

 

(Ah click click, ah click click)

My camera, my camera, my camera never lies

Lies oh, oh, oh, oh

My camera never lies anymore

Cause there's nothing worth lying for

 

My camera never lies

So I'll put you in the picture and cut it down to size

(My camera oh oh)

My camera never lies anymore cause there's nothing worth

Lying

Nothing worth lying, nothing worth lying for

 

My camera never lies anymore (My camera never lies)

There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

 

And though the rain may fall your father's calling you

You still feel safe inside

And though your ma's too proud your brother's ignoring you

You still feel safe inside

 

Oh, was this solo ?

Was this yesterday ?

Was this true for you ?

'cause while all the rest have taken time

This didn't do a lot for you

 

And the corners laced with memories

Tell you how it used to be

Your mother smiles, the children play, and all the bad things happen miles away

 

And strong feelings never bother you

You hold your head up while the rest of us try to

 

Oh, call the stations

Call the people

We all want to know

'cause while all the rest have taken time

You don't want to know

 

Well, there's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside

 

And though the rain may fall your father's calling you

You still feel safe inside

And though your ma's too proud your brother's ignoring you

You still feel safe inside

 

Oh, was this solo ?

Was this yesterday ?

Was this true for you ?

'cause of all the choices you have made

This didn't do a lot for you

[Pariah]

He offered them a good right arm

To help them save the family farm

For their dough, he was damn near good as rain

Then came the time for them to choose

An offer they could not refuse

With easy outs and capital gains

 

No one has a suspicious feeling

You really couldn't call it stealing

He did it with a style most would admire

But he had picked them off like a bird on a wire

 

He had opened fire on the bird on a wire

A nudge, a wink, and they'd be getting higher

He whipped out his fountain pen while the tears were getting drier

And then he picked them off like a bird on a wire

 

There ain't a kid with a BB gun 

Or an alley cat with room to run

Who could put them down like they was out for hire

Yeah, he could pick them off like a bird on a wire

 

He went golfing every day

They voted while he was away

Though technically he's Chairman of the Board

They had become avaricious

Leaving him to do the dishes

They introduced him to his new landlord

 

Who told him his time came and went

Their office in the Orient 

Would send him checks, for soon he would retire

Yet they had picked him off like a bird on a wire

 

They had opened fire on the bird on a wire

He was sinking, they were getting higher

They polished up their Macintosh while his ass was in the mire

And then they picked him off like a bird on a wire

 

There ain't a kid with a BB gun 

Or an alley cat with room to run

Who could bring them down like they was out for hire

Yeah, they can pick them off like a bird on a wire

Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside

All fired up
(Now I believe there comes a time)
All fired up
(When everything just falls in line)
All fired up
(We live an' learn from our mistakes)
All fired up, fired up, fired up, hey

Ain't nobody livin' in a perfect world
And everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
And now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

All fired up
(Now I believe there comes a time)
All fired up
(When everything just falls in line)
All fired up
(We live an' learn from our mistakes)
All fired up, fired up, fired up
(The deepest cuts are healed by faith)

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe

All fired up

All fired up

All fired up

All fired up, fired up, fired up, hey

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

There comes a time, when you should see things clear
Free from my innocence, there is no circumstance too severe
Only the need for us, for us to believe again
There is a time, temptation's on the run
Dreamer you've had your way
Soldier you've had your day, in the sun
Now it's time, oh it's time, for us to begin again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

There comes a time (there comes a time)
When you must find your way
Begger has made his bed
Wrapped in a silhoutte, of gold and gray
Now it's time, yes it's time, for us to believe again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Standing so close to me, the possibility
To change our destiny, I see it perfectly, moving so naturally
Nothing can stand in our way

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age
Only our love will remain (only)
Le bel age (only our love)
Close to the truth once again

Le bel age (le bel age)
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come a-hangin' around my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama, let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away
Now go go go
I'm gonna leave you, woman
Gonna leave you, woman
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I'm gonna do
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go, woman
I'm gonna leave ya, woman
Goodbye, American woman...

Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way
You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Jocko said "No" when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

(Lonely feeling) Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
(Deep inside) When we talk about the things I say
(Find a corner) She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
(Where I can hide) When they're standing in each other's way
(Silent footsteps) You're tripping back now to places you've been to
(Crowding me) You wonder what you're gonna find
(Sudden darkness) You know you've been wrong and it won't be long
(But I can see) Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well it was kind of cold that night,
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

[Greywind]

Sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you

Honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you

I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true)
I just can't believe the one to love this feeling to
(I just can't believe it's true)

Ah sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you
Ah honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you

When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)

Oh sugar, pour a little sugar on it honey
Pour a little sugar on it baby
I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
Pour a little sugar on it oh yeah
Pour a little sugar on it honey
Pour a little sugar on it baby
I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
Pour a little sugar on it honey

Ah sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you
Oh honey, honey, sugar sugar
(Honey, honey, sugar sugar)
You are my candy girl

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know, wo wo wo

God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson

Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

 

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files

We'd like to help you learn to help yourself

Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes

Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

 

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know, wo wo wo

God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson

Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

 

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes

Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes

It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair

Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids

 

Coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know, wo wo wo

God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson

Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

 

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon

Going to the candidates' debate

Laugh about it, shout about it

When you've got to choose

Every way you look at it you lose

 

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio ?

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you, wo wo wo

What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson

'Joltin Joe' has left and gone away, hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

[death tribble]

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall

If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall

I know he's there, but I just had to call

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

I heard your mother now she's going out the door

Did she go to work or just go to the store

All those things she said, I told you to ignore

Oh why can't we talk again

Oh why can't we talk again

Oh why can't we talk again

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

 

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long

If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong

I want to tell you something you've known all along

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

 

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation

Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation

I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection

Oh I can't control myself

Oh I can't control myself

Oh I can't control myself

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

 

Hang up and run to me

Whoah, hang up and run to me

Whoah, hang up and run to me

Whoah, hang up and run to me

Whoah oh oh oh run to me

[Cancer]

They got guns,

We got guns,

All God's chillun got guns!

I'm gonna walk all over the battlefield,

'Cause all God's chillun got guns!

[Pariah]

Down the street a lamp light glows

The only heat through the slow fire and snow

I raise my voice but it rings hollow

I raise my glass every time you called

I raise my glass every time

 

You told me once that all it would take

To let the wind carry the weight

Is a chance to rest another heartache

I raise my glass to every mistake

I raise my glass every time

 

I take a boardwalk down to the bay

I listen to the waves

And its a price that I've had to pay

For every glass that I raised

 

I took a job at a factory plant

There are some things I can do, there are some things I can't

I haven't been the same since the accident

I raise my glass in resentment

I raise my glass every time

 

Ninety miles an hour in the dead of the night

You leaned over and you cut out the light

I flipped the Z10, I was high as a kite

I raise my glass to the dark sick night

I raise my glass every time

 

I take a boardwalk down to the bay

I listen to the waves

And its a price that I forever pay

For every glass I raised

 

I haunt these streets till the bar rooms close

I only live to become a ghost

You were the one I always loved the most

I raise my glass to one final toast

I raise my glass one last time

 

Then, I take a boardwalk down to the bay

I listen to the waves

And its a price that I no longer pay

For every glass I raised

For every glass I raised
