1.I Love It But
I love it but it doesn't knock me out
I think it's great, but it could be better
I like it a lot, it's just not my cup of tea
Yet if you were to change the melody
Take out a part that you think should be here
Put in a part that wouldn't otherwise appear
Well it's only an idea.
I hate it but that doesn't mean it's bad
In other words i quite enjoyed it
Apart from which, it's the best you've ever done
Yet if you were to change the words
It would be superb with perhaps a different melody
I love it but it's just a shade too long
Though to be fair you'd hardly notice
The only thing as i say is how it's done
Bits to me sound like it ought to have been sung
Not only in two part harmony but one
Making the whole thing really swing before it's swung
Walk instead of run
I love it, but it doesn't knock me out
Yet it you were to change the words
It would be superb with perhaps a different melody.
I love it but it doesn't knock me out
I think it's great, but it could be better
I like it a lot, it's just not my cup of tea
Yet if you were to change the melody
Take out a part that you think should be here
Replace it with a part that wouldn't otherwise appear
Are you getting the idea
I love it, but it doesn't knock me out.
2.What's In A Kiss
What's in a kiss
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just a moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss.
What's in a dream
Is it all the things you'd like to have been
All the places that you haven't yet seen
Tell me what's in a dream.
I know it's really rather stupid of me
But i honestly don't know
Every time i try to find a solution
I'm surprised at how quickly i become so slow.
What's in a kiss
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss.
And any time you need a light refreshment
Baby you can count on me
I am your very own delicatessen
Well equipped to supply you with your every need.
Well what's in a kiss
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss.
3.Hello, It's Goodbye
Take off your coat pull up a chair
Sit next to me not over there
How about a drink what would you like
Would a scotch on the rocks be alright
Then as the lights invariably dim
I gently touch your thigh
And before you know it, hello it's goodbye.
You tell me that you're not that type
And i'm not saying that you're not right
All that i'm asking is a chance
To do more with you than just holding hands
This is the story of my life
Every chance i get to try
Before you know it, hello it's goodbye.
Now i'm not saying that i'm upset
But for all the pleasure that i can get
I might just as well go join a monastery
(just as well join a monastery)
I'm not saying that i'm upset
But for all the pleasure that i've been getting
I might just as well go join a monastery
(just as well join a monastery).
Sometimes i think i'm up against
Something that doesn't make much sense
Like when i'm with a girl like you
I'd do everything a man should do
Then when i feel the time is right
I say no need to be shy
And before you know it hello it's goodbye.
4.Why Pretend
Oh everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
And everyone knows
You're on your own
Why not let it end
Your baby's gone
And you're all alone
So why pretend.
Every time
You're not at home
You say that she's with you
Isn't it time
You made it known
That she isn't with you
She's far away
And there she will stay
Oh why pretend
You didn't want her
When her heart grew fonder
Oh, of you by her side
You didn't love her
So she found another
Oh, why pretend
It's got to end.
'cos everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
You didn't want her
When her heart grew fonder
Oh, of you by her side
You didn't love her
So she found another
Oh, why pretend
It's got to end
Oh everyone knows
You're all alone
So why pretend
And everyone knows
That you're on your own
Why not let it end
Your baby's gone
And you're all alone
So why pretend.
5.I'm Not Getting Any Younger
I'm since i've known you we've always been together
and in that time the love we shared
we vowed would last forever yet marriage is a subject
you approve providing it has nothing whatsoever to d
H you and much as i respect
that view have to state my case
though i'm far from being over-the-hill
it occurs to me with each passing day
that i'm not getting any younger god knows it wasn't my
The years that used to take an eternity
to make are now passing at what seems like one a week.
if only we'd have met
when i was your age wouldn't have this awful fear
i get when i leave your pla
U don't know how upsetting
it can be to hear you talk of future plans
none of which seem to include me blue jeans
and high heel boots are great
course i still wear mine quite a bit but it's now
Apparent than ever before despite keeping myself fairly fit
that i'm not getting any younger even those grey hairs are
now starting to appear and there are lines under my eyes
that never used to
His size even though it could
Be due to lack of sleep 3omething tells me
that it's more to do with passing years.
at times i think perhaps it would be better
if rather than go on this way posted you a letter
explaining in g
Detail why i feel the way things are between us suits
you much more than it suits me
you have you whole life ahead of you well damn it
i also have mine and unless
i am by nature a freak there's
Staking those deadly signs
and i'm not getting any younger look closely now
and you will see the rebel in his teens who
thought all adults were obscene is now
somewhat disenchanted with the news
Kids today have got no respect for his views
and i'm not getting any younger gone are those days
when school reports were all
i feared now for the first time in my life
i'm seeing something i d
Like and am powerless to prevent from happening
one day you'll find out for yourself just what i mean.
6.Things That Go Bump In The Night
Some people tell you you're better off dead especially
when you're in the very best of health me
i don't understand why just like the din of those things
that go bump in the night what does it m
Who really cares if you die tomorrow
all you get are prayers if there's a god
and there might maybe he's in with those things
that go bump in the night oh,
go to a gypsy let her read your palm
Inute that she says you've got a lot of charm you think,
how incredible i never thought
how could anybody have so much power
but if on the other hand
she says i fear a bit of bad news in the com
Ear you think what a load of rubbish
this is i don't know why i ever bothered with 'it.
who said we're human who called it sex who said
that three fives are fifteen is correct.
some people tell
Ou're better off dead especially
when you're in the very best of health.
what makes a black man go white
could be the din of those things that go bump in the night.
oh, go to a gypsy let her rea
R palm the minute that she sa
Ys you've got a lot of charm you think,
how incredible i never thought
how could anybody have so much power
but if on the other hand she says
i fear a bit of bad news in the coming year you thin
T a load of rubbish this is i don't know
why i ever bothered with it.
7.Help Is On The Way
So you want to love me
But you don't know why
You've got a problem up ahead
That's in sight
Love to meet your uncle
Only as i was saying
I have a relative myself the same type
Call yourself a man
I said, why not if it's true
I said, you call yourself a taxi and fly
And like a bird she flew out
Of the window
Leaving me a box of milk tray
A note upon it to say
If nothing's alright it's okay
'cos help is on the way.
Sorry to disturb you
At this awful hour
But i was wondering
If you have the time
Supposed to meet a woman here
At half past eight
And now you're telling me
It's already nine
Man you should have seen it
As the boat overturned
There was a cry out
From a hand or a leg
And like a stone she went
Down to the bottom
Leaving us above in dismay
Despite the captain who'd say
If nothing's alright it's okay
'cos help is on the way.
I got a letter
It came as a note
It said, i'm sorry
I haven't spoke
It was written out in braille
So i knew that it felt good
Right from the start
Solo part
I tried to reach you
But you weren't at home
I left a message
Right after the tone it said, sorry i'm not in
If you'd care to call again
I'll get back to you - back to you.
So you want to love me
But you don't know why
You've got a bee up in your bonnet
That's fine
Nothing like a buzz going around
Your head
To clear the cobwebs from the state
Of your mind
Well, you won't believe this
But believe me
It's true
I had this woman
In the palm of my hand
When like a madman
She leapt out the windowv leaving me a box of milk tray
A note upon it to say,
If nothing's alright it's okay
'cos help is on the way.
8.Break It To Me Gently
Look at me, i'm in my glory like a child,
who loves a story pinching myself just to see
if you're really here with me
nothing good can last for long so
when you feel like moving on break it to m
Tly. how i wish
that we could make love for as long as it can
take wear each other out,
and then stop and start it all again all my life
i dreamt of this and if a dream is all this is break it t
Gently. and, i don't want to sound a bore
what will be will be i know
but there's no harm in asking for
when you have a beauty rare
why can it not be everlasting.
is it true what i hear whispere
Get tired of men so quick
that it's now become a standing joke
how long will the next one cope
if there isn't the doubt
and i'm the next to be kicked out break it to me gently.
and, i don't wan
Sound a bore what will be will be i know
but there's no harm in asking you've been through all this
before could this one not be ever-lasting.
optimistic though i am things will remain the way t
Tand nevertheless there is th
Is fear you might one day disappear
i just hope that if it's true
you will have the decency to break it to me gently
if and when the time arrives don't just leave me high
and dry break it to me
Y.
9.For What It's Worth
I feel so strange here on my own she's out with her friends
while me i don't have one every time
i have some she would make them all disperse yet
i love her with all of my heart for what it's wo
She said had i been more careful with her
we wouldn't have had to get married quite so quick
and she never wanted kids hates the thought of giving birth
yet i worship the ground she walks upon f
At it's worth. i don't know what i can say perhaps
it's just a passing phase nothing worse than being in love
with one who isn't if i've hurt her i'll admit
i'll apologize for it even if what sh
S i did, i didn't.
i give her the bulk of my weekly pay she takes
it without even thanking me one bit
and i've worked hard for it
so a thank you wouldn't hurt yet
i love her with all of my heart
What it's worth.
i don't ask for very much
i'm not one to make a fuss in fact
the less said is for me so much the better
maybe i should be more strong tell her straight look.'
what's going on bu
I do that, she might leave me
Altogether. oh, i've been high up
and i've been low but lately
the latter is so far out ahead i wish
i were dead she treats me like i was dirt yet
i love her with all my heart for what it's wor
10.The Niceness Of It All
It's the niceness of it all baby
it's the niceness of it all whether you are close to me
or far it doesn't matter in the least as long as
i can be with you any time i need to like the baby that'
T starting to grow it's the niceness of it all
that makes me love you more ＆ more.
and it's the niceness of it all baby,
it's the niceness of it all that makes me write to you
and say how mu
Ve missed you over the weeks
that makes me call you on the phone
whenever there's a chance to speak
and even if there's only time to say hello
it's the niceness of it all, that makes me love you
＆ more. i don't know what's come over me
i've hardly touched a drink my mother
thinks it's marvelous he's off the road to sin
she thinks you're just the tonic
that i need and who am i to ar
Fter all isn't that what i believe
it's the niceness of it
all baby it's the niceness of it all
if i can't be with you for a week then a day will .
have to do i won't say that that's enough but t
Eggars can't be choosers and besides
If nothing else at least i know
it's the niceness of it all
that makes me love you more ＆ more.
every time i see a shadow i think what a blessing
it must be not to have to talk with fingers
O have to look with nothing to see you
try living your life to the full confined to a chair
try and hide your loneliness when none is there.
11.Can't Get Enough Of You
There's nothing in the world
that i'd like more than to be left
standing outside your door where perhaps i might be,
asked to come in.
there i could very easily demonstrate
what now appears to b
Fate you see i'm hooked on something
and it's not heroin oh,
i just can't get enough of you no i can't get enough,
what am -i gonna do i've tried every trick in the book
that's going now i've de
That they're not worth knowing
my predicament is as simple as this i'm not satisfied
and the reason is i just can't get enough of you.
my experience of life so far has been to say the least not
Least bizarre i mean i work for a living,
8 hours a day i don't smoke or drink
except for a little wine the friends
that i have are the genuine kind
i think i'm fairly rational in a moderate way
I can't get enough of you no i can't get enough,
what am i gonna do i've had other woman
but they don't move me you're the only one
that can see right through me
what you've got i can't explain
R than to tell you i have one
Complaint i just can't get enough of you.
i just can't get enough of you no
i can't get enough, what am i gonna do like oliver twist,
said when he asked for more i happen to like what you gave
Fore my condition is rather unique
i'm suffering from the world's first lovely disease
i just can't get enough of you
12.Or So They Say
Or i've never been able to stand on a table
without using both of my feet
i've always resisted the choice
that was listed whenever i sat down to eat.
now don't think me rude but that dress is so
Cut your navel is sticking out and not
that i'm curious
but seeing how low yours is i wonder where mine is about.
i read in the newspapers only today
that tomorrow's will be even better liquid d
Ent is now guaranteed to absorb all the dirt
from your sweater or so they say.
we once had a neighbour who came from jamaica
(no - she came of her own accord)
who talked with an accent like that
Dachshund whose cousin the queen had adored.
oh how would you like it
if i was invited to lords on the first day of play
i'm no gary sobers
but i can bowl overs in quite an unorthodox way. now
Et's a game that can baffle us all
it's the silly mid-on that gets me silly or not,
it's enthralling to watch only maidens of course disagree.
or so they say. life is so often a dullish affair i
O wonder that crime has incre
Ased what does it matter,
if there's no hereafter we're here
after all just to breathe or so they say.
and as i finish playing this is my way of saying
'the end.'
