Have my love
It fits you like a glove
Join my dream, tell me yes
Bail out should there be a mess
The pieces you don't need are mine
Take my time
I'll show you cloud nine
Take my smile and my heart
They were yours from the start
The pieces to omit are mine
Have my love
Use it while it does you good
Share my highs but the times
That it hurts pay no mind
The pieces you don't need are mine
I'll see you there on cloud nine
Take my hope
Maybe even share a joke
If there's good to be shown
You may make it all your own
And if you want to quit that's fine
While you're out looking for cloud nine

And now it begins to shine
And you found the eyes to see
Each little drop at dawn of ev'ry day
Your smile, it comes back to me
And whatever you may say
Don't let it stop, never fade away
As we got to get out in this world together, oh
Doesn't really matter if we start to make some changes, oh
If that's what it takes (that's what it takes)
Then I've got to be strong (that's what it takes)
Don't want to be wrong
If that's what it takes
The closer I get (that's what it takes)
Into that open door (what it takes)
I've got to be sure
If that's what it takes
And now that it's shining through
And you can see all this world
Don't let it stop, never fade away
If we got to be in this life forever, oh-oh
Then we'd better be taking all the chances, oh oh
If that's what it takes (that's what it takes)
Then I've got to be strong (that's what it takes)
Don't want to be wrong
If that's what it takes
The closer I get (that's what it takes)
Into that open door (what it takes)
I've got to be sure
If that's what it takes
That's what it takes, that's what it takes
That's what it takes, that's what it takes
(That's) what it takes, that's what it takes
That's what it takes, (that's) what it takes
That's what it takes, oh, that's what it takes
(repeat and fade:)
Oh, that's what it takes

I know you're in the sun
I know you're close to ev'ryone
At times it's like you don't have a hold on me
I see you in the love
I see you in the moon above
But I want to know that you're not lost inside of me
You know I need you
You know I love you
If I'm not with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm like a fish on the sand
You call me in the night (you call me in the night)
And hide behind the daylight
You're blowing like a wind, you don't let me see
You know I feel a pain (you know I feel a pain)
I'm tired of playing games with you
Though there's nothing else I want that would set me free
You know I love you
You know I need you
If I can't be with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm a fish on the sand
No use to no one else, they've all dried up
Watching all our lives go by
I can't believe you'd want to see me crying
I hold you in my heart (hold you in my heart)
I know that you're a part of me
But it's a must to know that you love me too
I look you in the eye (look you in the eye)
You're swimming by my teardrops
But I want to know for sure that you'll let me see
You know I want you
You know I need you
If I'm not with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm like a fish on the sand
You know I need you
You know I love you
If I'm not with you
I'm not so much of a man
I'm a fish on the sand
Not so much of a man
More a fish on the sand

Just for today
I could try to live through this day only
Not deal with all life's problems
Just for today
If just for one night
I could feel not sad and lonely
Not be my own life's problem
Just for one night
If just (for) today
I could try to live through this day only
Not deal with all life's problems
Just for today
If just for one night
I could feel not sad and lonely
Not be my own life's problem
Just for one night
Just for today
I could try to live through this day only
Not deal with all life's problems
Just for today
Just for today

Precious words drift away from their meaning
And the sun melts the chill from our lives
Helping us all to remember what we came here for
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
Little things that will change you forever
May appear from way out of the blue
Making fools of ev'rybody who don't understand
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
Since our problems have been our own creation
They also can be overcome
When we use the power provided free to everyone
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love
Oh, this is love, this is la la la-la love
This is love, this is la la la-la love (repeat and fade)

Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like strangers in the night
Fab-long time ago when we was fab
Fab-back when income tax was all we had
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all
Fab-long time ago when we was fab
Fab-you are my world you are my only love
And while you're in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away
Take you away
The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flows on and on
Fab-long time ago when we was fab
Fab-but It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Fab-long time ago when we was fab
Fab-like this pullover you sent to me
Fab
And You've Really Got A Hold Me fab - long time ago when we was fab

Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
I heard it in the night
Words that thoughtless speak
Like vultures swooping down below
On the devil's radio
I hear it through the day
Airwaves gettin' filled
With gossip broadcast to and fro
On the devil's radio
Oh yeah, gossip
Gossip, oh yeah
He's in the clubs and bars
And never turns it down
Talking about what he don't know
On the devil's radio
He's in your TV set
Won't give it a rest
That soul betraying so and so
The devil's radio
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
(Oh yeah) gossip, (gossip) oh yeah
(Gossip) oh yeah, (oh yeah) gossip
It's white and black like industrial waste
Pollution of the highest degree
You wonder why I don't hang out much
I wonder how you can't see
He's in the films and songs
And on all your magazines
It's everywhere that you may go
The devil's radio
Oh yeah, gossip
Gossip, oh yeah
Runs thick and fast, no one really sees
Quite what bad it can do
As it shapes you into something cold
Like an Eskimo igloo
It's all across our lives
Like a weed it's spread
'Till nothing else has space to grow
The devil's radio
Can creep up in the dark
Make us hide behind shades
And buzzing like a dynamo
The devil's radio
(Gossip) oh yeah, (gossip) oh yeah
(Gossip) gossip, (gossip) gossip
Oh yeah, gossip-I heard you on the secret wireless
Gossip, oh yeah-You know the devil's radio, child
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip

(Someplace else)
You got into my life
I don't know how you found me, but you did
It stopped me heading someplace else
Took me a while to say
Wish you belong to me
But now I'm saddened like I've never been
Regretting that we'll leave
And for a while you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy
Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else
(Someplace else)
I hope you won't let go
Maybe you'll let me know
That you'll be saddened like you've never been
Regretting that we'll leave
And for a while I could comfort you
And hold you in my mind
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is sad and crazy
Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else
And for a while you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy
Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else
Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else
(Someplace else)
I think I'm gonna leave them all
In someplace else
(Someplace else)

I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus
Feel more like the Wall of China
Getting old as Methuselah
Feel tall as the Eiffel Tower
I'm not a power or attorney
But I can rock as good as Gibraltar
Ain't no more no spring chicken
Been plucked but I'm still kicking
But it's alright, it's alright
Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak
Make up lies then they leak 'm out
Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them
Reaching out trying to touch me
Met some Oscars and Tonys
I slipped on a pavement oyster
Met a snake climbing ladders
Got out of the line of fire
(But it's alright)
Brainless writers gossip nonsenses
To others heads as dense as they is
It's the same old melody
What they see is faulty
I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus
Feel more like Big Bill Broonzy
Getting old as my mother
But I tell you I got some company
(But it's alright)
But it's alright, it's alright
But it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, alright
It's alright

In another life
I woke up dreaming with a sigh
As the morning light
Was painting whispers of a joy
And I was in the candlelit bedroom
Enchanting beauty shimmering magically
Like an irridescent cloud
Being blown by a westerly wind
She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take your breath away from heaven
And I was captured by her loneliness
A wounded tiger on a willowy path
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of a foreign land
She can take your breath away from heaven
She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take your breath away from heaven
She is like an everlasting blossom
She can take your breath away from heaven
