Over And Over Again He goes out looking for fun but he always finds trouble Around every corner is somebody bursting his bubble His heart's in the right place if only his head were the same Who can blame him for making the same mistake Making the same mistake Making the same mistake Over and over, and over and over And over and over again. He took a job laying bricks after six earning double Every morning he woke up and broke up the rubble His heart's in the right place if only his head were the same Who can blame him for making the same mistake Making the same mistake Making the same mistake Over and over, and over and over And over and over again. Alone in his cosy room, nobody there No-one to care for him, Oh dear me What a terrible place to be. He goes out looking for fun but he always finds trouble Around every corner is somebody bursting his bubble His heart's in the right place if only his head were the same Who can blame him for making the same mistake Making the same mistake Making the same mistake Over and over, and over and over And over and over again. Ooooooooooh! Over and over and over and over And over and over again! <

You Won't Get Me You wanted to see me You've got something to say That generally life's gonna be so good If I just do what you say But you won't get me this time The words don't mean it's true No you won't get me this time I'm so tired of I do believe in you You wanted to tell me That people are born to change That no matter what went on before Sweet things being arranged But you won't get me this time The word's don't mean it's true No you won't get me this time I'm so tired of I do believe in you You want to see me 'Cos you've got something to say Telling me life's gonna be so good If I just do what you say But you won't get me this time The words don't make it true No you won't get me this time I'm so tired of I do believe in you
Passing Us By Walking the line and telling the truth Isn't very easy for me Saying I'm fine and telling the lie Suits the people that you see Nobody wants to hear the story About you know who and who knows why We all like to fawn in glory And we don't like competers passing us by Given the choice of money or pride Which would you rather choose Take the advice of someone who knows With each one you're gonna lose Because nobody wants to hear the story About you know who and who knows why We all like to fawn in glory And we don't like competers passing us by Cross all the fingers, dot all the i's Any trick you want to try Watch out for ladders, **always stretch bladders** [that can't be right? :? ] Too soon you're saying goodbye Some folks just can't tell the difference Between what you say and what you mean Don't tell lies or you'll realize That you can't live in the dream machine.
And So Goodbye I had been downhearted Nowhere for me to run Sometimes I just couldn't ever imagine Where to get me a friend for fun Came up young Kitty, she wasn't very pretty But she said come on join me now If you don't feel like staying long Just take me for an hour And so goodbye to the life that's gone forever And goodbye to the lonely tapestry And goodbye to the people who were never, oh no no, Any help or even hindrance to me. So after she showed me what to do And how to do it right She had me doing it every day And sometimes into the night Along came Mary quite contrary Saying boy, would you like a rest If you know what love is about Boy, I can do it best And so goodbye to the life that's gone forever And goodbye to the lonely tapestry And goodbye to the people who were never, oh no no, Any help or even hindrance to me. And so goodbye to the life that's gone forever And goodbye to the lonely tapestry And goodbye to the people who were never, oh no no, Any help or even hindrance to me. So after they put the word around About the boy in me They didn't just sit there talking about it They came on strong at me When you hear about me passing on, **If you've a rolling head** You'll know that too many men like Mary and Kit Will be tapping on my hand And so goodbye to the life that's gone forever And goodbye to the lonely tapestry And goodbye to the people who were never, oh no no, Any help or even hindrance to me. ANY HELP ON THOSE BAFFLING TWO LINES?
Country Life Country life is what you need To keep the lifeline clear Smell the cornfields, breathe the air Yes happiness my dear Since the birdcalls, trees tall Are medicine for your ears Won't you let the pixies through the door And over your windowsill Country life will make a man be Twice the man you are There's the answer, see the country Leave the city to the stars Think about birdcalls, trees tall Medicine for your ears Won't you let the pixies through the door And over your windowsill Let's think about birdcalls, trees tall And think of the life you lead Trying to be Sir Lancelot Riding on a silver steed Country life is what you need To keep the lifeline clear Smell the cornfields, breathe the air Yes happiness my dear Since the birdcalls, trees tall Are medicine for your ears Won't you let the pixies through the door And over your windowsill.

Smells Like Lemon and It Tastes Like Wine I was on the dole and I bought myself a newspaper Opened up the page and I read my horoscope It said Play your cards right, youll meet a dark stranger It took away my cares and it filled me up with hope What a dope All thats soft soap Really there was no hope Sadly so Come out, come out, wherever you are The game is up, you wanna be a star Now youve gotta learn how to take your time When it smells like lemon and it tastes like wine Meanwhile further on a day later sure enough Along came a stranger with a sideways look I shared out my food and my money and my clothes When I woke up in the morning everything had been took By a crook Id been forsook Now look Come out, come out, wherever you are The game is up, you wanna be a star But youve gotta learn how to take your time When it smells like lemon and it tastes like wine I saw a fine face, a good face, oh my, She was standing and a-smiling and she waved me down Feeling pretty strange so I didnt try to make it But before I knewt shes out the car and she was outta town She put me down She made me frown Im down Look around Come out, come out, wherever you are The game is up, you wanna be a star But youve gotta learn how to take your time When it smells like lemon and it tastes like wine I saw a kind face, a good-looking stranger, She was standing and a-smiling and she waved me down Feeling pretty strange so I didnt try to make it But before I knew it shes out the car and she was outta town She put me down She made me frown Im down Look around Come out, come out, wherever you are The game is up, you wanna be a star But youve gotta learn how to take your time When it smells like lemon and it tastes like wine Story of my life Thats why I aint got no wife All the trouble and strife It cuts like a knife Ive been around the world its true Looking for someone exactly like you .

Holly! Where did you get that first line to "And so goodbye"???? - On "Savaloy Dip" the start is missing??? :?: :?: :?: :?:
Add: to And so goodbye: I belive that he's singing: "Any help are even hindrance to me",- but I'm not sure!
Another add. to "And So Goodbye". "So after they put the words around about the boy in me they didn't just sit there talking about it, they came on strong at me" The next line... well... I just can't figure out what he's singing? - I wish that we could ask Alan himself?
Yes, I like that "came on strong at me" -- that's a good addition. "any help are even hindrance" doesn't make grammatical sense to me, though... I don't know where I got that beginning to "And So Goodbye" -- that's where my track starts...it IS kind of soft though, and it does sound as if it's just starting in the middle. Yes, I wish that I could ask Alan in person too.
Willy the Queen Whenever there's a party all the lights go out ain't that so When Willy has a party all the boys turn up 'cos he loves them so Oh, now love them Willy one more time Just one kiss can turn all their water into wine When you groove everybody has to smile Now Willy knows how to do it with style When Willy goes out walking he can fill the street anywhere he goes All the stares everywhere, they'e all completely beat 'cos he's dressed in womens clothes Oh, now love them Willy one more time Just one kiss can turn all their water into wine When you groove everybody has to smile Now Willy knows how to do it with style When Willy goes out clubbing he can dance all night an attraction for one and all Now every famous face believes that he's alright and even the best can fall Oh, now love them Willy one more time Just one kiss can turn all their water into wine When you groove everybody has to smile 'cos Willy knows how to do it with style Now every famous face believes that he's alright and even the best can fall Hey Willy, whatcha doing down there you're alright? you're alright? you're alright (Can somebody help me with the missing lyrics, and change what might be wrong? - I just love that song. The music is so like Randy Newman ) (PS: Might that song have been written about Freddie Mercury??? :lol: )
Add. to "You won't get me this time". First of all I believe that the first and the third verse are similar, and the lyrics from the third verse are correct,- besides from that line, you can't hear! - I have troubles hearing what he sings as well, but I believe that it could be something like: "The words don't make it true":lol: - Or perhaps "The words don't make the truth"????? :?: Then I have a suggestion for the second verse wich sounds to me as if he's singing: "You wanted to tell me that people don't want to change" Just a suggestion from an old grey-haired Danish woman! :lol:
Yes, I like "The words don't make it true" -- I've put that in now. The second verse, though, I changed to "that people are born to change" -- since the woman in the song (the "you") is the one trying to change him, I think that makes more sense. Alan? Yo, ALAN? We need a definitive answer here!
As for Willie the Queen ... the opening is hard to hear but I imagine it is "Whenever there's a party..." And that third line in the third verse: how about -- "All these stares, everywhere, they're all completely beat"
Poor Jimmy There's like some smoke from a thousand cigarettes There's little fat men making big fat bets We're going fighting tonight to see Jimmy our pride and joy That wonderful bountiful tiny boy Who'll take Jimmy at six to four? Here's another gent saying that he won't hit the floor He's a hero of the junkyard, he's the daddy of them all But all the big champions must have a big fall. Now Jimmy's a local and he comes from the mine And now he fancies the women and the wine So with song and the tears, our hero will tumble And the dreams of all will start to crumble. Who'll take Jimmy at six to four? Here's another gent saying that he won't hit the floor He's a hero of the junkyard, he's the daddy of them all But all the big champions must have a big fall. Gimme gimme gimme gimmeee Who'll take Jimmy at six to four? Here's another gent saying that he won't hit the floor He's a hero of the junkyard, he's the daddy of them all But all the big champions must have a big fall. To the ring, with a jump and a skip, And you know that soon there'll be blood on his lip On his arms and on his thighs In his nose and on his eyes And all the neighbours will say, "oh what a surprise" Who'll take Jimmy at six to four? Here's another gent saying that he won't hit the floor He's a hero of the junkyard, he's the daddy of them all But all the big champions must have a big fall. <
Yes, I believe that you're right! - Could you or Jean correct the lyrics? I can't figure out how to do it? :?:
