To Whom It May Concern (c) 1972

If ever you got rain in your heart,
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
And let it be like they said it would be -
me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
Run to me whenever you're lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.
And when you're out in the cold,
no one beside you, and no one to hold,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
And when you've got nothing to lose,
nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
Run to me whenever you're lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.
We must have lost the road
Don't you think it's getting late
Maybe if it's colder we can stop and wait
We must have lost the words
All the little things we said
And now the world is frozen only you in my mind
Oh ,we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
We must have lost the tune
Where did I step out of line
I'll search for the melody that calls you mine
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
(repeat last chorus and fade out)
I've never been alone and I've only seen the sky
Still I know the reason why
I've been thinking it over
I've never climbed a tree but that's natural for me
And you don't know my name so I'm thinking it over
And ev'ry day I'm learning the things that are concerning you and I
And if you were beside me you'd know what's inside me so tell me why
Give me inspiration to clear the situation we've known too long
And if we end up crying then one of us is lying so tell me
Never rode a plane and I never will again
So 'til then I'll drink the rain while I'm thinking it over
And ev'ry day I'm learning the things that are concerning you and I
And if you were beside me you'd know what's inside me so tell me why
Give me inspiration to clear the situation we've known too long
And if we end up crying then one of us is lying so tell me
Never rode a plane and I never will again
So 'til then I'll drink the rain while I'm thinking it over
Yes I'm thinking it over
Paper Mache, Cabbages and Kings
Na na na na na na na na na
Paper mache and telegraph poles
Things go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
to make you want to jump with fright
Elephant's tusks and autograph books ,people you don't meet
Haven't got a bed to lay my head , shoes to fit my feet
Don't be scared
You're better off then nothing
You're answering to no one
Paper mache
Paper mache and telegraph poles
Thing go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
to make you want to jump with fright
Elephant's tusks and autograph books, people you don't meet
Haven't got a bed to lay my head, shoes to fit my feet
Don't be scared
You're better off then nothing
You're answering to no one
Paper mache
All of a sudden it happened
When you did what you said you'd do
And you broke my heart in two
Like paper mache
All of a sudden it happened, oh...
You came into my life
Like paper mache you broke my heart
Like paper mache, paper mache
Like paper mache
Paper mache and telegraph poles
Things go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
to make you wanna jump with fright
Elephant's tusks and autograph books
People you don't meet
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
(repeat last two lines and fade out)
I can make the sun shine out of the heavens
Sweet love, love you forever
Just wait until the sun's on your pillow
I can bring love 'cause that's all I've got
I can bring love 'cause that's all I've got
I can change the whole world if you are near me
No tears if you can hear me
Just wait until the sun's on your pillow
I can bring love 'cause that's all I've got
I can bring love 'cause that's all I've got , yeah
Ah....
Just wait until the sun's on your pillow
I can bring love 'cause that's all I've got
I can bring love 'cause that's all I've got
I can bring love 'cause that's all I've got
I held a party and nobody came
Strangely I was upset
Poured out a drink and then Birkworth approached saying
"Have no regrets. Maybe your gentle friends had some delay.
Don't try to take on the world"
Made up my bed and decided to sleep
Dreaming I was awake
Maybe I drank an excess of my drink
Nice clan, cordial crowd
Birkworth suggested we sleep through the night
I never knew him so well
Ah.....
Please Don't Turn Out The Light
Ev'rytime I need reality, in jeopardy of losing all of me
I just am not stronger, life don't last so long , so baby,
If your turned out the light, if you turned out the light,
Please don't turn out the light, please don't turn out the light
Turn out the lights
Baby, I don't feel too reliable
I can only do what I'm liable, but if you want to leave me
Love me and just leave me, baby;
If you turned out the light, if you turned out the light
Please don't turn out the light, please don't turn out the light
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Yesterday was history who knows what there is gonna be when we meet again
Will you smile and tell the world about me
Can there be no doubt about me I was your friend
As I gaze upon a sea of smiling faces
Walk amongst the glow of moonlit places
The look in your eyes, to see your smile
Won't bring you back to me
I remember things we planned
The world would never understand but we found a way
And the world of love you gave to me
Each moment is a memory, whatever they say
As I gaze upon a sea of smiling faces
Walk amongst the glow of moonlit places
The look in your eye, to see you smile
Won't bring you back to me
For the look in your eye, to see your smile
Won't bring you back to me
Yesterday was history who knows what there is gonna be when me meet again
Will you smile and tell the world about me
Can there be no doubt about me I was your friend
As I gaze upon a sea of smiling faces
Walk amongst the glow of moonlit places
The look in your eye, to see your smile
Won't bring you back to me
For the look in your eye, to see your smile
Won't bring you back to me
For the look ....(repeat lines and fade out)
I've got a notion to live in an ocean of bad bad dreams
No consolation to mixed conversation in bad bad dreams
You know we're all alike
We can shout and scream and yell all night
It's just a bad bad dream
Feel like I'm crying, there's no use denying it's all been done
For your information we still own the nation, the war's been won
You know you're far too late
Your only hangup is you hesitate
It's just a bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
I'm getting it to you so you get it through you and make your choice
People start playing and back what you're saying in just one voice
You know you're all insane, it doesn't matter how you play the game
It's just a bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
I would die for you.
I have cried for you ,believe me girl.
Don't you think it's time you made up your own mind?
All my love's for you.
All I do's for you.
Still I think it's time you made up your own mind.
A melody, my symphony
You know it's for you, love.
It's plain to see, it's meant to be.
Now it's up to you, love.
Still I'll wait for you.
Waiting just for you, don't leave me girl.
Don't you think it's time you made up your own mind?
Love is here for you.
Love was made for you, believe me girl.
Don't you think it's time you gave up?
You are mine.
La da da la dee da dee da-ee-a-ee-a-ee-a-ee-ah
La da da la dee da dee da-ee-a-ee-a-ee-a-ee-ah
Doo doo doo doo doo doo , You know it's for you (repeat 4 more times + fade)
Maybe you talk too high, man.
Maybe I talk too slow.
But you've got to live a little bit faster
'cause you've got a little less time to go.
I ain't lost and I ain't searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can't change the wind and make it blow the other way.
I'm a fool and I can tell .
That I'm alive and that's all.
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn't matter at all.
I don't know about the people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive .
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive , alive.
I ain't lost and I ain't searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can't change the world and make it go the other way.
I'm a fool and I can tell.
That I'm alive and that's all .
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn't matter at all.
I don't know about those people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive.
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive.
I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive.
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive, alive.
I'm on the road to Alaska ,nowhere near Nebraska,
but I'm sure if I asked her she'll know.
I ain't got no Honey, I'm so short of money.
I really really wanna go home.
I dialed Oklahoma, made attempts to phone her,
gave up when I got no reply.
I'm on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska,
but I'm sure if I don't ask her I'll die.
I found Cincinatti, out there I was happy, every single day of my life.
I had me a woman, she started to runnin' .
I really couldn't make her my wife.
She started to show which was she was goin', every single road she could go
I'm on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska
but I'm sure if I asked her she'll know
