1.Are You Happy?

You say you got a big house out in the country with a ruddy
great swimming pool you say you got a lot of things i never had
that's true but are you happy are you happy are you happy when
you get
T down to the nitty gritty are you happy you you say you got
boyfriends calling you up every other day of the week and that
you got more now then you could ever need but are you happy are
you ha
Re you happy you can find happiness in a hole in your sock you
can be fully dressed in a coat that's a frock you can stand in
the rain when it's raining and not think it's not sunny you say
you
Car parked out in the drive but are you happy etc etc etc that
you've not even driven yet and that you got another one that you
can use instead but are you happy are you happy are you happy
whe
Get right down to the nitty gritty are you happy are you happy
are you happy you what about love money couldn't buy it and
that's the crazy thing when you've had enough of trying to deny
it loo
T love can bring well are you
Happy are you happy are you happy when you get right down to the
nitty gritty are you happy you can be who you are, without
having to prove, in a sense who you are, with attempts that are
crude
Ing acres of land, that you won't even use, is not the answer.
you say you got an aunt, whose cousin is married to a relative
of the queen, and that you get invited to every social scene but
are
Happy are you happy are you happy when you get right down to the
nitty gritty are you happy are you happy are you happy you


2.Not That It Bothers Me

I know the difference in our ages is quite considerable indeed
you're almost twice as old as i am not that it bothers me and i
keep your picture in my wallet it's there so everyone can see
and t
That do think your my mother not that it bothers me love is the
strangest thing it has the power to change us it takes a
harmless sort and makes him highly dangerous people can be so
cruel i can
Nderstand it our case is odd it's true but that's not how we
planned it i've great respect for both my parents without them i
would not be here they've now disowned me altogether not that it
bot
Me


3.Sometimes

Sometimes when i am lonely and i need some love and care
sometimes i feel i only have to call and you'll be there
sometimes i wake up in the morning with my hair down in my eyes
sometimes i can
At you then i don't and then i do sometimes sometimes i take
exception to the way we're criticized once it was because we had
long hair and now cause we've short back and sides they never
stop t
Lways have to win ooh a parents reputation is based only on what
the neighbours think sometimes you have the answer long before
the questions put sometimes you are a dancer without moving
either
Sometimes i get undressed for dinner stay up all hours of the
night have my breakfast with my lunch well you know it can be
fun sometimes sometimes you take a letter and you post it in a
box yo
Ume that it will get there even though the last you sent got
lost how tragic it would be if here and now ooh all optimism
disappeared replaced by something less endowed sometimes i'm up
in heave
N you hold me in your arms so
Metimes i'm up at seven to the sound of my alarm sometimes i
read about the third world and the hunger there you find
sometimes love it can be blue red or green and yellow too
sometimes love is
E air it's a crazy world i swear sometimes


4.It's Easy To See When Your Blind

It's easy to see when you're blind how walks in the park are
mountains to climb and it's easy tell at a glance how hard it
must seem when you don't stand a chance let me take you out to a
movie
Mise i won't spoil your view it's easy to see when you're blind
how much this means to you it's easy to see when you're blind
how words you can feel enlighten your mind and it's easy to tell
at
Tart those able to breathe but who haven't a heart building
roads without a pavement who needs to walk when a car will do
it's easy to see when you're blind how angry this makes you and
i'm afra
R everybody's future and i'll tell you why instead of common
sense we'll have computers running our lives and that ain't
right we have so much to distract us images of wealth and greed
it's easy
Ee when you're blind how blind we all must be


5.Having Said That

I think love is just a load of crap
But having said that
If you'd love me the way that i love you
I'd take it all back

I don't give a dam about you now
And i'm not being sour
There's plenty more of you where i come from
On the hour
Every hour

And i don't suppose you'd consider
Accompanying me out to dinner
Found this really cute little french place
The food they tell me is greek
I'll understand please forgive me
What's his name is it dave
Does he take you everywhere
I'll bet
He's lousy in bed
Not like me

Oh i think women are completely daft
But having said that
How many of them do you ever hear
Get a heart attack
And having said that

Don't come running after me again
I'm not your friend
Liked you once about a week ago
But that was then
Never again

Of all the women i've loved
You're the first to make blood boil
All the others they would of course
Make it bleed
I don't know how to thank you enough
Can't stand the sight of blood
You see

You mean nothing to me anymore
So now you know
I had been thinking that for quite some time
I'd let you go
So now you know

And don't think that i don't men this
Whatever we had between us
Is to the best of my knowledge
Now a thing of the past
But then again if you came up
With nothing on but your make-up
Possibilities are
Out if the kindness of my heart
I might
For tonight
Let you in


6.The Best Love I Never Had

I say a prayer for those who unlike me suffer some form of
brutality i get no kicks from mugging pensioners i don't believe
that that's all their good for you know i love you and i always
will i
A picture of you on me still it's so sad you were the best love
i never had i see you've brought your children along too the
little one she looks a lot like you i'm sure you must be very
proud
Em i'd love to have a child myself but then on second thoughts
i'd better leave this talk of children is upsetting me it's so
sad you were the best love i never had and i can't for the life
of m
Hom out why eve when she met up with adam didn't know they would
put at risk every man, woman, child for the bite of an apple
remember days of wine and daffodils a hand upon your breast oh
what
Ill it's so sad you were the best love i never had you make your
bed and then you lie in it wouldn't the truth be more
appropriate it's so sad you were the best love i never had


7.Divorce Irish Style

In answer to your question you've made a big mistake but in the
eyes of god that's a risk you have to take divorce irish style
unless of course your privileged with a cardinal up your sleeve
hop
An annulment is unlikely to succeed divorce irish style how can
two people live together when they've fallen out of love are we
so blind as to reject the pain they fell what right has anyone
to
Ou must even god himself can't be the judge we've only one life
after all and if it's not our fault why can't we be released
something must be done and that something must be done urgently
forge
Ever happened go away and start anew you love each other surely
well at least you used to do divorce irish style how can two
people live together when they've fallen out of love are we so
blind
Reject the pain they fell what right has anyone to say you must
even god himself can't be the judge we've only one life after
all and if it's not our fault why can't we be released something
mu
Done and that something must
Be done urgently think about the children after all they must
come first okay she's found another man oh well it could be
worse divorce irish style


8.Came And Went

When you needed money you came to me it was no problem that was
plain to see yet when i needed some company you promised you'd
pay me a call but you came and went so quickly i didn't know you
ha
N here at all when there was a war on you came crawling to me
there seemed no better place that you'd rather be yet when it
was over you told me you'd come back and pay me a call but you
came an
T so quickly i didn't know you had been here at all what does it
mean what does it prove if i get my own back on you revenge is
sweet but so are peas and not the ones alphabetically my hands
are
Legs are like ice i'm on the beach weather is nice the wind
comes up it starts to snow my hands get warm my feet they glow
oh i can remember things you used to say but what sticks in my
mind mo
The way you hurt me so much when you left me although you
promised you'd pay me a call but you came and went so quickly i
didn't know you had been here at all


9.I'm Not Too Young

I'm not too young to fall in love i'm not too young to smoke i'm
not too young to defend myself if ever i'm provoked i'm not too
young you mark my words to be left on the shelf i'm not too
young
Over one next year i will be twelve i'm not as daft as one might
think if one's the word to use for why not instead of one must
mustn't one instead use two's i won't say that it makes it any
eas
Ut still it goes to show that one can do what one must do with
two's or three's or four's and while we're on the subject let me
say that for a start although i failed my eleven plus i really
did
Hard and i've come to this conclusion right or wrong abut exams
you pass only because your memory failed to go blank i'm not too
young to pay the price for things i didn't do i'm not too young
t
Ell me so i guess it must be true i'm not too young to cry out
loud in northern ireland name i'm not too young i'm everyone a
bomb has ever maimed and by and large it's true to say that even
as
Eak a child not out in africa
But believe it or not here is learning what it feels like to
exist without much food and waits in what he calls his home to
be forcibly removed


10.I Can Give You

There are diamonds in this world for a lady if i had the money
you'd never had enough you don't have to understand me when i
tell you there is only one thing i can give you love he may ask
to ta
U with him every day and then give you presents you've only ever
dreamed of though i'd take you walking with me anyway there is
only one thing i can give you love what's important to me is not
t
Od times we'll have but the bad times that end up so badly for
you and so you see what i want is not the earth to move what on
earth it prove but a love that will make me a love that will
take m
Good and i don't know why soldiers shoot to kill and i don't
know why at ease i get so ill and i don't give a damn unless of
course i do so if you want to go with him just remember what i
say t
In spite of how i feel though he'll give you things you've only
ever dreamed of there is only one thing i can give you love

Hello...ooh, is mary there?
No, but
Well, if you see mary
Will you tell her i called?
Tell her that i love her

I can't think straight

My name is pegge and i know how you feel
Same thing that happened to you did to me

Finally she called boy was i relieved
Now i'm sorry but what can i say
I love her much i can't think straight
Love her much you can't think

What about people other than me?
What about those with nothing to eat?
How can i claim that life isn't fair?
What a pathetic sight i swear
If i could kick i'd kick
Myself of course and if

Listen to me look i know hat i'm saying
I'm sure mary is as much to blame
Well in that case
Why won't she answer the phone?
Don't try and tell me
She's not at home
I'm sorry but what can say

I'm sorry but what can say

We're sorry but what can i say
I love her so much i can't think

What are we doing? what have we done?
What in the world is going on?
Isn't it crazy looking so fine
Knowing that in as much time
As it takes to make a drink
We could all become as the dinosaur has
Nothing but extinct
And to top it all i hear
That my rent is to be raised

So if you see mary
Will you tell her i called
Tell her that i love her
And i'm sorry that's all
And by the way thank you for being so kind

Lo siento pero no se que decir
We're sorry but what can i say
I love her so much
I can't think
Love her so much
I can't think straight

Haria de tu vida un paraiso mejor
