1. SCHOOL

I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
He's coming along..

After School is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out
- And you're full of doubt

Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do?
- Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticise, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come out and put your eyes

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
Want to see that
Want to see that way
You're coming along..


2. THE LOGICAL SONG

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.


3. BREAKFAST IN AMERICA

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have ´em in Texas
'Cause everyone¨s a millionaire

I´m a winner, I´m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I´m a loser what a joker
I´m playing my jokes upon you
While there´s nothing better to do

Don´t you look at my girlfriend
She´s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do


4. DREAMER

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, what a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
Oh no!


5. IT'S RAINING AGAIN

It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
And you know it's hard to pretend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Oh will my heart ever mend.
Oh no, it's raining again
You're old enough some people say
To read the signs and walk away
It's only time that heals the pain
And makes the sun come out again
It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.

C'mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C'mon you little fighter
And get back up again
Oh get back up again
Fill your heart again...


6. GIVE A LITTLE BIT

In time this fire will turn to ashes
The sun will fall out the sky
Still you see no urgency
To spend some time with me
Time with me

I can't believe you haven't noticed
Just how long I've been waitin' for you
I've been such a patient man
But I still don't understand
You won't

Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
How I care

It's hard to know just what you're thinkin'
You cloak yourself in mistery
Conversations always brief
Like a sigh with no relief
You won't

Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
if you dare

You gotta give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance


7. TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
Furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
Oh unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
Oh, calamity, is there no way out?

Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow , boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
Have been oh, what you might have been,
If you'd had more time.

So, when the day comes to settle down,
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home...


8. MY KIND OF LADY

Let me tell you what I want to say
You're the only one who can make me feel this way
My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace

No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along and then you mend my broken dreams
I was so down and then as foolish as it seems

You gave me your affection
Yeah baby you came through
We'll make it you'll see
In spite of those who say it's wrong

This time we feel that we belong
Now we can truly say
We'll be together and that's all we'll ever need
We'll love each other, that's the way it's gonna be

And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my honey
You know I'll love you every day

When things go wrong we'll find a way
I'm so glad I met you
Much more than I can ever say
We're making plans and holding hands just like before

We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore
I've been wastin' my life away

I've got a message for you today
To tell you that you are
My kind of lady
I'm not the same since I met you

All of my dreams had fallen through
And then you came along
One magic night when things went right it was so fine
Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine

And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my baby
You know I'll love you all the way

When times get hard we'll smile and say
I'm so glad I met youI'll love you more and more each day
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road

It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore


9. BLOODY WELL RIGHT

So you think your schooling's phony
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree

Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say

Ha-ha you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway!

Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry, no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right, quite right, you're bloody well right

Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say


10. GOODBYE STRANGER

It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on

Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth

Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins

And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true

Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well

You can laugh at my behavior
That'll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I don't pay no heed

And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc...


11. AIN'T NOBODY BUT ME

Let me tell you a story that'll make a change,
Let me tell you when I'm way out of range;
It's about a man who's crueler than me,
So promise not to cause a scene,
Heaven help the one's you love,
There's no big need for stars above

Well, you can run, you, know he'll find you,
It don't matter now, just look behind you,
You had your warn, and you knew the score,
You got it wrong, and that means war;
So, why'd you have to treat me rough,
Your explanation's not enough.

Ain't nobody but me,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you;
Ain't no fish in the sea,
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you,
Wooh

You see, I got a mental disposition,
Sometimes, I'm mean, sometimes I'm vicious;
I'm dr. jekyll, I'm mr. hyde,
So if you want to stay alive,
Just give me all you've got to give,
And, then perhaps I'll let you live.

Ain't nobody but me,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you,
Ain't no fish in the sea,

Goin' sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Goin' lie for you, gonna die for you;
Goin' sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Goin' lie for you, gonna die for you.-

(Hush) now baby, stop your crying,
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying,
(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying

(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying


12. OH DARLING

Oh darling, will you ever change your mind
I've been feeling left behind
Like a shadow in your light
Like a shadow in your light, in your light

Ah honey won't you say that I'm the one
And if you think you're gonna run
Well you know

I'm gonna be around you, all about you
Always by your side
I'm gonna dream about you, scheme about you
Love you all the time
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady yeah

The news is all over town
You better not let me down
Keep telling me you're feeling good
As good as you ever could
Please tell me that you'll never go, ah ah no no
Tell me that you'll never go, never go

Ah lately, I'm like a watch that's overwound
And I've got both feet off the ground
Because you see

I'm gonna be so busy, oh my pretty
Love you night and day
And through the rain and shine
I'll make you mine
I'll love you come what may
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh

I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah.........


13. CRIME OF THE CENTURY

Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
Rip off the masks and let see.
But that's no right - oh no, what's the story?
There's you and there's me
That can't be right.
