1. BAND ON THE RUN

Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one nice again like you,
Mama you, mama you.
If I ever get out of here,
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here.

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into The sun,
And the first one said to the second one there I hope you're Having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, Band on the run

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no one else Had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits On the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam, were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run,band on the run, Band on the run

Well, the night was falling as the desert world began to Settle down.
In the town they're searching for us every where, but we Never w I'll be found.
Band on the run, band on the run

And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, Band on the run


2. JET

Jet! i can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told me that
You were going to be marrying soon.
And jet, i thought the only
Lonely place was on the moon.

Jet! jet!
Jet! was your father as bold as a sergeant major?
How come he told you that
You were hardly old enough yet?
And jet, i thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet! jet!

Ah, matter, want jet to always love me?
Ah, matter, want jet to always love me?
Ah, matter, much later.

Jet! with the wind in your hair of a thousand laces.
Climb on the back and we'll
Go for a ride in the sky.
And jet, i thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet! jet!


3. BLUEBIRD

Late at night when the wind is still
I'll come flying through your door,
And you'll know what love is for.

L'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird
I'm a bluebird, l'm a bluebird
Yeah ,yeah ,yeah.

I'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird,

Touch your lips with a magic kiss
And you'll be a bluebird too,
And you'll know what love can do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

L'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird,

Fly away through the midnight air
As we head across the sea,
And at last we will be free.

You're a bluebird, you're a bluebird,
You're a bluebird, you're a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're a bluebird, you're a bluebird

All alone on a desert island
We're living in the trees,
And we're flying in the breeze.

We're the bluebirds, we're the bluebirds
We're the bluebirds, we're the bluebirds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're the bluebirds, we're the bluebirds
We're the bluebirds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird.


4. MRS. VANDEBILT

Down in the jungle is on the blink
You don't use money you don't pay rent
You don't ever know the time
But you don't mind

Ho hey ho...
Ho hey ho...

When your light is on the blink
You never think of worrying
What's the use of worrying?
When your bus has left the stop
You'd better drop your hurrying
What's the of hurrying?

Leave me alone mrs. Vandebilt
I've got plenty of time of my own
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?

Ho hey ho...
Ho hey ho...

What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?

Ho hey ho...
Ho hey ho...

When your pile is one the wane
You don't complain of robbery
Run away don't bother me
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of anything?

Leave me alone mrs. Washington
I've done plenty of time on my own

What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying? (no use!)
What's the use of anything?

Ho hey ho...
Ho hey ho...


5. LET ME ROLL IT

You Gave Me Something, I Understand,
You Gave Me Loving In The Palm Of My Hand
I Can't Tell You How I Feel
My Heart Is Like A Wheel
Let Me Roll It
Let Me Roll It To You
Let Me Roll It
Let Me Toll It To You

I Want To Tell You
And Now's The Time
I Want To Tell You That
You're Going To Be Mine

I Can't Tell You How I Feel
My Heart Is Like A Wheel.
Let Me Roll It
Let Me Roll It To You
Let Me Roll It
Let Me Roll It To You


6. MAMUNIA

Mamunia mamunia mamunia
Oh oh oh
Mamunia mamunia oh oh oh oh

The rain comes falling from the sky,
To fill the stream that fills the sea
And that's where life began for you and me

So the next time you see rain it ain't bad,
Don't complain it rains for you,
The next time you see l.a. Rainclouds,
Don't complain it rains for you and me

Mamunia mamunia mamunia
Oh oh oh
Mamunia mamunia oh oh oh oh

It might have been a bright blue day
But rainclouds had to come this way
They're watering everything that they can see.

A seed is waiting in the earth
For rain to come and give him free,
So the next time you see l.a. Rainclouds
Don't complain, it rains for you.

So lay down your umbrellas
Strip off your plastic macs.
You've never felt the rain my friend,
Till you've felt it running down your back

So the next time you see rain, it ain't bad
Don't complain, it rains for you.
The next time you see l.a. Rainclouds
Don't complain it rains for you and me.

Mamunia mamunia mamunia
Oh oh oh
Mamunia mamunia oh oh oh oh


7. NO WORDS

You want to give your love away
And end up giving nothing
I'm not surprised, that your black eyes
Are gazing.

You say that love is everything
And what we need the most of
I wish you knew, that's just how true
My love was.

No words for my love

You're burning love, sweet burning love
It's deep inside,
You mustn't hide, your burning love
Sweet burning love, your burning love.

You want to turn your head away
And someone's thinking of you
I wish you'd see, it's only me,
I love you.

No words for my love.


8. HELEN WHEELS

Said farewell to my last hotel, it was never much kind of Abode
Glasgow town never brought me down when I was heading out on The road
Carlisle city never looked so pretty and the kendal Freeway's fast
Slowdown driver, want to stay alive, I want to make this Journey last.

Helen, hell on wheels, ain't nobody else gonna know the way She feels
Helen, hell on wheels, and they never gonna take her away

M6 south down to Liverpool, where they play the west coast Sound,
Sailor sam he came from Birmingham but he never will be Found
Doing fine when a London sign greets me like a long lost Friend,
Mister motor won't you check her out, she's got to take me Back again.

Helen, hell on wheels, ain't nobody else gonna know the way She feels
Helen, hell on wheels, and they never gonna take her away


9. PICASSO'S LAST WORDS (Drink to Me)

The grand old painter died last night
His paintings on the wall
Before he went he bade us well
And said goodnight to us all.

Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more

3 o'clock in the morning
I'm getting ready for bed
It came without a warning
But I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be waiting for you there
So drink to me drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
Drink to me drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more

(French interlude)
Temp change

Jet... Drink to me
drink to me... Ho hey ho.


10. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE

On no one left alive in 1985, will ever do
She may be right
She may be fine
She may get love but she won't get mine
'Cos I got you
Oh I oh I
Well I just can't enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind

(Interlude)
On my mama said the time would come when I would find myself In
Love with you
I didn't think
I never dreamed
That I would be around to see it all come true
Woh I oh I
Well I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind.
