I need you
I need you more than birds need the sky
I need you, it's true little girl
That you can lift the tears from my eyes.

But if you ever tell me goodbye
I'll break down and you'll hear me cry
I need you
More than anybody else has needed anyone before.

I need you
There's no one else to stand in your place
I need you, you know little girl
That you can keep the smile on my face.

If you ever tell me good-bye
I'll break down and you'll hear me cry
I need you
More than anybody else has needed anyone before
More than anybody else has needed anyone before
I need you.

I need you
There's no one else to stand in your place
I need you, you know little girl
That you can keep the smile on my face.

If you ever tell me goodbye
I'll break down and you'll hear me cry
I need you
More than anybody else has needed anyone before
More than anybody else has needed anyone before
I need you.

Beautiful Delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look from fellas passing by
Every time you see her, she's with a different guy
Beautiful Delilah, that's the reason why.

Rebecca don't allow me fool around with you
Oh well you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true.

Beautiful Delilah, dressed in the latest styles
Swinging like a pendulum, walking down the aisle
Sees so many guys, speaks so low and mild
One day she will marry, settle down, after a while.

Rebecca don't allow me fool around with you
Well you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true.

Beautiful Delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look from fellas passing by
Every time you see her, she's with a different guy
Beautiful Delilah, that's the reason why.

Rebecca don't allow me fool around with you
Yes you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true.

Beautiful Delilah, sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look from fellas passing by
Every time you see her, she's with a different guy
Beautiful Delilah, that's the reason why.

Rebecca don't allow me fool around with you
Well you're so tantalizing, you just can't be true.

D.Davies

You're not leaving so discreet, just creeping out on me
Your dizzy head and smoky eyes, you'll find some other's bed to sleep
So don't look back, it is too late, no story to be told
As this creepin' mess you left for me, tell your promise to be home.

You don't know what I mean, Creepin' Jean's a disease
You don't know what I mean, Creepin' Jean's a disease
You don't know what I mean, Creepin' Jean's a disease
You don't know what I mean, Creepin' Jean's a disease.

Your dirty friends and underwear keep hanging 'round my room
The lonely pictures that you paint are creepin' to their doom
So don't look back it is too late, no story to be told
These creepin' friends you left for m, tell your promise to be home.

You don't know what I mean, Creepin' Jean's a disease
You don't know what I mean, Creepin' Jean's a disease
You don't know what I mean, Creepin' Jean's a disease
You don't know what I mean, Creepin' Jean's a disease.

D.Davies

Look through any doorway, each life will tell it's story
See the joy and heartbreak for all the world to see.

She's on the city streets, on her face is desolation
Just a kid from out of town, in the land of hope and glory.

Open up the highway, the road will stretch before you
For there will be a new day where love will show the way
Only shadows of the world we left behind, open up your heart.

Open up the highway, the road will stretch before you
And there will be a new day where love will show the way
Only shadows of the world we left, open up your heart
Many shadows of the past, so don't look back.

Look at the wars, a part of greed affects us all
There's a better way, despite what they do or say
People of the world.

Look through any doorway, tell me what you see.

Searching for a way through all the doubt and sorrow
Days turn into years and we'll build a new tomorrow.

Open up the highway, the road will stretch before you
And there will come a new day where love will show the way
Only shadows of the world we left behind, open up your heart
Many shadows of the past, so don't look back, open up your heart.

Look through any doorway, tell me what you see
Look through any doorway.

D.Davies

You don't have to look at me, you don't have to smile at me
You just gonna love me till the sun shines
You don't have to cook for me, rest your head upon my knees
You just gonna love me till the sun shines.

You can take it, I don't mind
Too lonely people a helpless kind
You just gonna love me till the sun shines.

You don't have to sleep with me, rest your head upon my knee
You just gonna love me till the sun shines
Baby you can wear my clothes, play my records, stay at my home
Long as you just love me till the sun shines.

You can take it, I don't mind
You don't be such a helpless kind
You just gonna love me till the sun shines.

Baby, baby I don't know what I'm doing
Everything I do it turns to ruin.

Baby you can kiss my friends, there is nothing that won't end
Long as you just love me till the sun shines
Babe, you don't have to walk the streets when there's someone waiting here
Lovers you just love me till the sun shines.

You can take it, I don't mind
Too lonely people a helpless kind
You just gonna love me till the sun shines.

Baby you can kiss my friends, there is nothing that won't end
Long as you just love me till the sun shines
You don't have to walk the streets when there's someone waiting here
Lovers you just love me till the sun shines.

Take my money, I don't mind
Too many people a helpless kind
You just gonna love me till the sun shines.

You can take it, I don't mind
Too lonely people a helpless kind
You just gonna love me till the sun shines.

R.Davies

So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you.

I was a lonely soul , had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting, all of the time what can I do ?

It's your life and you can do what you want
Do what you like but please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting.

'Cause I'm so tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you.

I was a lonely soul, had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting, all of the time what can I do ?

It's your life and you can do what you want
Do what you like but please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting.

'Cause I'm so tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you, for you, for you.

Estes

Well I've tried everything to get along with you
But I'm gonna tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm sick of all your crying, gonna leave you alone
If you don't believe I'm going, you can pack my things, I'm gone
I'm gonna leave, gonna leave you lovin' baby for some day
Iif you don't believe I'm going, watch me leaving you this way.

Won't you please ?
[ …………………………. ]

Won't you please ? Don't that sun looks good going down ?
Won't you please ? Don't that sun looks good going down ?
Don't that ol' moon look lonesome when your baby's not around ? Ooh alright boy.

1, 2, 3

Won't you please ? Don't that sun looks good going down ?
Won't you please ? Don't that sun looks good going down ?
Don't that ol' moon look lonesome when your baby's not around ?

D. Davies

Voices all across the nation echo in my mind
In the streets, in the factories, in the towns
Living out what imagination made real
Got to leave the old world behind
Use a fantasy, imagination is real.

I'm so much in love I can't explain
Imagination's real
Build your dreams and make them strong
Imagination's real.

Imagination's real, imagination's real
Imagination's real, imagination's real.

No solution, hatred, fear of what's to come
Don't cry, can't you feel it inside ?
Can't you see it's the only way it can be ?
For our past has left us alone
With a cold reality imagination made real.

If you use a dream to change a mind
Then imagination's real
Think with your heart and you will see
Imagination's real.

Imagination's real, imagination's real
Imagination's real.

R.Davies

In a dark and misty house, where no Christian man has been
Wicked Annabella mixes a brew that no one's ever seen.

Relatives have passed her by, too scared to even say hello
She's in perpetual midnight, she shuts out the day
And goes about her sinful ways.

I, I've seen her hair, I've seen her face, look towards mine
I, I've felt her eyes burning my sole, twisting my mind.

Little children who are good should always go to sleep at night
'Cause Wicked Annabella is up in the sky, hopin' they will open their eyes.

Don't go into the woods tonight, 'cause underneath the sticks and stones
Are lots of little demons enslaved by Annabella,waiting just to carry you home.

I, I've seen her hair, I've seen her face, look towards mine
I, I've felt her eyes burning my sole, twisting my mind.

R.Davies

Picture yourself when you're getting old
Sat by the fireside pondering on.

Picture book, pictures of your mama taken by your papa a long time ago
Picture book of people with each other to prove they love each other a long time ago
Na, na, na, na, na na
Na, na, na, na, na na
Picture book
Picture book.

A picture of you in your birthday suit
You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon.

Picture book, your mama and your papa and fat old Uncle Charlie out cruising with these friends
Picture book, a holiday in August, outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend
Picture book, when you were just a baby, those days when you were happy, a long time ago
Na, na, na, na, na na
Na, na, na, na, na na
Picture book
Picture book
Picture book
Picture book.

Picture book
Na, na, na, na na
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo
Picture book
Na, na, na, na na
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo

Picture book, pictures of your mama taken by your papa a long time ago
Long time ago
Long time ago
Long time ago
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

My makeup is dry and it cracks 'round my chin
I'm drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin
The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore
The lions they won't bite and the tigers won't roar

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
So let's all drink to the death of a clown
Won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the death of a clown

The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore
The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees
And frantically looking for runaway fleas

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
So won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

R.Davies

There's too much on my mind, there's too much on my mind
And I can't sleep at night thinking about it
I'm thinking of the time there's too much on my mind
It seems there's more to life than just to live it.

There's too much on my mind and there is nothing I can say
Too much on my mind and there is nothing I can do
About it, about it.

My thought just weigh me down and drag me to the ground
And shake my head till there's no more life in me
It's ruining my brain, I'll never be the same
My poor demented mind is slowly going.

There's too much on my mind and there is nothing I can say
Too much on my mind and there is nothing I can do
About it, ooh.

There's too much on my mind and there is nothing I can say
Too much on my mind and there is nothing I can do
About it, about it.

There's too much on my mind.

D.Davies

Where are you going to ? I don't mind
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
So where do I go ? What will I see ?
I see many people coming after me
So where are you going to ? I don't mind
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
So I will follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand's still open to me
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one.

So you've been where I've just come
From the land that brings losers on
So we will share the road we walk
And mind our mouths and beware our talk
'Till peace we find tell you what I'll do
All the things I own I will share with you
And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today
We'll take what we want and give the rest away
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one.

Holy man and holy priest
This love of life makes me weak at my knees
So when we get there, make your play
Soon I feel you're gonna carry us away
In a promised lie you made us believe
For many men there is so much grief
If my mind is proud but it aches with rage
And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one.

Bartholomew-King

One night with you is all that I'm praying for
These things that we two can share to make my dream come true.

Just call my name and I'll be right by your side
Won't need no helping hand, my love's too strong to hide.

I always lived a very quiet life, I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you been too lonely, too long.

One night with you is all that I'm praying for
These things that we two can share to make my dream come true.

I always lived a very quiet life, I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you been too lonely, too long.

One night with you is all that I've been praying for
These things that we two can share to make my dream come true.

D.Davies

All the stories have been told of kings and days of old but there's no England now
All the wars that were won and lost, somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore
All the lies we were told, all the lies of the people running round, they're castles have burned
I see change but inside we're the same as we ever were.

Living on a thin line, ooh
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do ?
Living on a thin line, ooh
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do ?
Living on a thin line
Living this way, each day is a dream
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do ?
Living on a thin line, ooh
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do ?

Now another century nearly gone
What are we gonna leave for the young ?
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do
It's a crime but does it matter ?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you ?
Yes it really, really matters
Yes it really, really matters.

Living on a thin line, ooh
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do ?
Living on a thin line, ooh
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do ?

Now another leader says
Break their hearts and break some heads
Is there nothing we can say or do ?
Blame the future on the past
Always lost in bloody guts
And when they're gone, it's me and you.

Living on a thin line, ooh
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do ?
Living on a thin line, ooh
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do ?
Living on a thin line, ooh, ooh.

Ooh.

R.Davies

I'm not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time.

The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night.

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yeah, all day and nighttime yours, leave me never.

The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night

Oh, come on ...

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yeah, all day and nighttime yours, leave me never.

The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night.

Bradford-Gordy

The best things in life are free but you can give them from the birds and the bees
I want money, lots of money
That's what I want.

Money don't get everything it's true, but what it don't get I can't use
I want money, lots of money
That's what I want.

Give me money, lots of money
Give me ………….. , lots of money
That's what I want.

Your lovin' gives me such a thrill but your love it won't pay my bills
I want money, lots of money
That's what I want.

I want money, lots of money
Give me …………………..
That's what I want.

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa.

I am a dull and simple lad
Can not tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen
And I wish I could have all that he has got
And I wish I could be like David Watts.

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa.

He is the head boy at the school
He is so gay and fancy free
And I wish all his money belonged to me
And I wish I could have all that he has got
And I wish I could be like David Watts.

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa.

And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
Lead the school team to victory
And take my exams and pass the lot.

Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be
I wish, I wish, I wish …

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
They try their best but can't succeed
'Cause he is of pure and noble breed.

Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like.

And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
Lead the school team to victory
And take my exams and pass the lot.

I wish I could be like David Watts
I wish I could be like David Watts
I wish I could be like David Watts

I won't take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile though I wear a frown
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down,
'Cause once I get started I go to town.

'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else, are you ?
I'm not like everybody else.

I don't want to ball about like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life (like everybody else)
And I won't say that I feel fine (like everybody else)
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else.

Oh darling, you know that I love you true
I'll do anything that you want me too
Confess all my sins like you want me to
But there's one thing I will say to you
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else.

And I don't ……………. (like everybody else)
And I don't ……………. (like everybody else)
And I don't ……………. (like everybody else)

Slow up and stop all my running 'round
Do everything like you want me to
There's just one thing I will say to you
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else.

And I don't want to live my life (like everybody else)

Like everybody, everybody, everybody else.
