The Move Album

Everybody sat here waiting for the train to come
Just lay down a bright red carpet for her to step on
Lookin' to the bend I see her waving her hands at me
Her looks were tanned and quite amazing as she ran to me

Hello Susie, hello Susie
Tell me the news about yourself
Hello Susie, hello Susie
Tell me that you've enjoyed yourself

Whoo!

Frantically she knocked me over causing such a scene
Shook the crowd enough to sway the interest from the Queen
Her black transistor socked out one o'clock radio
Completely drowned the band and loud enough to stop the show

Chorus

Yes sir rock 'n' roll the day away
(Come on everybody)
They all seem too keen to make the scene
(Come on everybody, come on everybody)
(Got to dig me just a while)

I was all at sea and threw her bags into the car
Susie took her bow and made her exit like a star
The national news took films which later made history
Her looks were tanned and quite amazing as she ran to me

Chorus

There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, see her face again
Lost the world, fruits of the morning are weak and grey
Carry the weight of the heart in a storm
Suffer the dawn today, today

Your beautiful daughter made me younger today
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay

Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break
Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share
Wanting you there today, today

Chorus

Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye
I'm crying
Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, again

Chorus

Chorus

Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door

(It was one morning when I woke up, and then I found out that they'd signed some
Papers, and then I was gonna be kept in a bed owing to my state of mind.
And then I found out that the authorities had said, um, that I'd gotta
Have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um, and I think it's because,
Because I was going off my...)
...head!

Suddenly from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my bed in deep maroon
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the room

Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry blossom clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

In this sad position where I lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by
Doctor pays a visit
Everyday I keep asking for my dad
They must think I'm going mad

Lift the blankets off my face
Quick before I suffocate
Trying hard to meditate
Tell the people, "what a scene"
Write a letter to the queen
Asking her if she can come to tea

Chorus

Up above the sun is high
Like a tea tray in the sky
Helicopter lands upon my bed
Phantom horses quickly fade
Turning into lemonade
Probably feel better when I'm dead

Chorus

Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change
(good evening, madam. it's a recording. yes.)
Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go, new ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again
(..... hello uncle bill)
And the wildflowers grow out of fields

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

(going to the pub, are you? evening madam.)

Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change
(good evening, madam. it's a recording. yes.)
Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go, new ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again
(..... hello uncle bill)
And the wildflowers grow out of fields

Love of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred

Plant them and soon they will feed

Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change
(good evening, madam. it's a recording. yes.)
Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go, new ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again
(..... hello uncle bill)
And the wildflowers grow out of fields

(there's a bloke out here looking for the band)

There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

(here we are now in great portland street. ah, good evening sir, i

(hold it. one more time, it's a bit ragged. try one more. here we go.)

I know that I can't keep her
Now she's in love with you
But I just wanna say
I won't be far away
So don't make my baby blue

I know your reputation
They say you can't be true
So I'll be standing by
And you just better try
Not to make my baby blue

My little girl, she's always been an angel
And it hurts me so bad to set her free
You better take good care of her
She still means all the world to me
You know she does

I'm gonna step aside now
Just like she wants me to
But even though I'm gone
I'll still be looking on
You better not make my baby blue
She's been a good baby
....

I know your reputation
They say you can't be true
So I'll be standing by
And you just better try
Not to make my baby blue

My little girl, she's always been an angel
And it hurts me so bad to set her free
You better take good care of her
She still means all the world to me
You know she does

I'm gonna step aside now
Just like she wants me to
But even though I'm gone
I'll still be looking on
You better not make my baby blue
She's been a good baby

You better try your best
Don't make my baby blue
Blue

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, oh it's made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul keeps on turning
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace for me to find
Well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
Oh you must know it was the last thing on my mind

As we walked all my thoughts they are a tumbling down down
Round and around, round and round
And underneath I hear the subway's trumblin'
Underground, underground
Are you going away with no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind
Well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

You've got reasons of plenty for going
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't grow, please don't grow
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left to find
Well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

So you want to be a rock 'n roll star
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time and learn how to play

And when your hair's combed right
And your pants fit tight
It's gonna be all right
Then it's time to go down town

Where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company who are waiting there
To sell plastic ware and in a week or two

If you make the charts
The girls will tear you apart

Gotta pay for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game
You're a little insane
The money that came and the public acclaim
Don't forget who you are
You're a rock 'n roll star

Repeat last verse

La la la la la la la

Whats on your mind
Dear Stephanie?
Whats on your mind
Towards me?

Aches and pains
They claw at your thighs
Your glad you did
You said you did

What can I say dear Stephanie?
Who shall I kiss before?
The love and poetry that you bring
Your eyes your hair your everything

What am I now dear Stephanie?
Am I you in disguise?
The words they come so naturally
I say them all for Stephanie

A look a-there
Here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanting to date her
Since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from a-out of my class
But that ain't stopping me from thinking to myself
She's sure (good) looking man
She's something else

A look a- there
'cross the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car
Would be a luxury
But right now I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that ain't stopping me from thinking to myself
That car's good looking man
It's something else

Hey look a-there
Just wait and see
Work hard and save my dough
I'll buy that car
I can roll up and show
Get me that girl and we'll go riding around
We'll look real sharp with a black top down
I keep right on a-dreaming and a-thinking to myself
When it all comes true man
She's something else

Look a-here
What's all this?
Never thought I do this before
But here I am a-knocking on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
It's a (sixty-seven) job not a fifty nine
I got that girl and I'm a-thinking to myself
She's (good) looking man
She's something e

If you hear somebody knocking on your door
See somebody crawling out across the floor
Baby it'll be me
And I'll be looking for you

If you see somebody climbing up a telegraph pole
You find a new love then you shut the door
It'll be me
And I'll be looking for you

Chorus

I want to search in the city
Where might you be
I want to search the countryside

I want...

If you find a new bait on your fishing hook
You see a funny face in your comic book
It'll be me
And I'll be looking for you

Chorus

Repeat last verse

Chorus

Said I'll be looking for you
I'm gonna be looking for you

Hold me tight the time is right
Crazy dreams and mind-blowing schemes will get you
Yeah

People talking bad to her
Sitting on the block without any love
Somewhere

It's time to let your mind play again
It's your heart just let mind play again

Chorus

Sunshine help me
Sunshine help me

Help me take the strain away

Sunshine help me
Sunshine help me
Help me take the strain away

Is it true that I been wrong about the things
You always thought were innocent
People always going round putting me down

It's time to let your mind play again
Its your heart let your mind take it

Chorus

Berns-Ragovoy

Mmm ..

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only one, yeah ?
Didn't I give you everything that I possibly can ?
After all the love I gave you, there was never enough
I'm gonna show you, baby, a man's got to be tough.

Oh baby, take it, take another little piece of my heart, baby
Break it, break another little piece of my soul, baby
Have it, have another little piece of my love, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good.

You're out on the streets (lookin' good)
And you know deep down in your heart that ain't right
You never never hear me when I cry all night
I tell myself I can't stand the pain
When you hold me in your arms, it starts all over again.

Oh baby, take it, take another little piece of my heart, baby
Break it, break another little piece of my soul, baby
Have it, have another little piece of my love, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good.

Oh, take it, another little piece of my heart, baby
Break it, break another little bit of my soul, baby
Have it, have another little piece of my love, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good.

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only woman ?
Didn't I give you everything that I possibly can, girl ?
But I know all the love I gave you, that'ss never enough
I'm gonna show you, baby, a man's got to be tough.

Oh baby, take it, take another little piece of my heart, baby
Break it, break another little piece of my soul, baby
Have it, have another little piece of my love, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good.

Oh, take it, another little piece of my heart, baby
Break it, another little bit of my soul, baby
Have it, have another little piece of my love, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good.

Oh, take it, another little piece of my heart, baby
Break it, break another little bit of my soul, baby
Have it, have another little piece of my love, baby.

Chorus

Now the time has nearly come
You watch the setting sun
This time tomorrow ill be gone

Here nothing could be bad
No one to feel sad
This time tomorrow looking back

Yes ill miss those happy days
As the sunset meets my gaze

Ill remember that I love you

So this is how it ends
I'd love to make amends
This time tomorrow well be friends

[No lyrics]

Mister McCann was a practical man,
Curly was his only son,
And he loved him like no other can,
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum.

He discovered the world in a wonderful girl,
Though he played with more than one.
But he loved her like no other can.
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum

Chorus:
Oh Curly has she let you down and run?
Oh Curly where's your girly? Where's she gone?

Ran all over the town,
Till he covered the ground,
Every inch of Liverpool,
In a way I feel so bad
That she let he be made a fool.

But remember she's right,
As we freeze in the night,
When the dawn took years to come,
Does he love her like no other can
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum

Chorus

Now curse the day,
Yes it really shook you good.
Just broke away, no,
You didn't feel she would.
You didn't feel she would.

La-da-da, na- na- na- na-
Desolation tones play on
Though it breaks you Curly
Can't you see what she has gone and done?

He discovered the world
Such a wonderful girl,
So he played with more than one,
But he loved her like no other can
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum

Chorus

Oh Curly, where's she gone?
You didn't feel she would.

Oh Curly, where's she gone?
You didn't feel she would but she could.

La-da-da, na-na-na, na-na-na

She sparkle like my jean
She more than seventeen
Seems keen in other words
She must have been
A former beauty queen
Now she's a naughty girl

Chorus

Wild wild wild tiger woman
(wild wild wild wild)
You move me very fast
But can you last another day
Get out of the way
Wild wild tiger woman
(wild wild wild wild)
You gonna break you're little fall
They call her the wild tiger woman

Tied to the bed
Tied to the bed

Shes waitin' to be fed
No pay to sir aday (? )
Cant see an ounce of reason in her head
Don't laugh and turn away

Chorus

Need another girl to come and grab her by the tail
As I was hoping that the ground would open up and take me in
Life is so obscene and the remarks that go unseen
Are being diminished to the earth
Ill never find another girl

All in the race
Such a friendly face
Seems clean and upper-class
Young indecisive
Minds are in a maze
She lose me very fast

Chorus

There she is I'm sure I seen her
Pushing in the queue to get to the front
Join the ladies in my dream
I know the perfect part you play
Ring my bell and sail away

Chorus

Come and take a ride on my omnibus
We could take you right to the terminus
Don't forget your ticket if you want to ride
Catching the ride inside

Just a dud their hansom falter
Harem on a bus flies over the town
Hopes and dreams lock up your daughters
Just too late to save the day
Ring my bell and turn away

Chorus

Sweet silver meadows
Protect us from the rain
Reins never break
Take us to the stars again
Hear the waves flow everywhere
See my sleighs through windy hair

Save the girls upstairs for later
Now you wonder if I can manage them all
Wrap them up in Christmas paper
Tell them they don't have to pay
Ring my bell and turn away

Chorus

Omnibus ride
Omnibus ride

Is there something that you've wanted
More than anything

Something you took for granted
Never stop to think

Suddenly it's there in your eyes
Suddenly you can recognize
That something
That certain something

Do I want you
Oh do I want you
More than anything

Did I love you
Oh did I love you
Never stop to think

All my life I've wanted one thing more

All my life I've been searching for
That something
That certain something

Oh no no no
Its not like that at all

Oh no no no
Not as I recall

Is there something that you've wanted
More than anything

Something you took for granted
Did you ever stop to think

All my life I've wanted one thing more
All my life I've been searching for
That something
That certain something

Now the time has nearly come
You watch the setting sun
This time tomorrow ill be gone

Here nothing could be bad
No one to feel sad
This time tomorrow looking back

Yes ill miss those happy days
As the sunset meets my gaze

Ill remember that I love you

So this is how it ends
I'd love to make amends
This time tomorrow well be friends

Blackberry Way, absolutely pouring down with rain,
It's a terrible day.
Up with the lark, silly girl I don't know what to say,
She was running away.
But now I'm standing on the corner,
Lost in the things that I said.
What am I supposed to do now?

Goodbye, Blackberry Way
I can't see you, I don't need you.
Goodbye, Blackberry Way
Sure to want me back another day.

Flowers in the park overgrowing but the trees are bare
There's a memory there.
Boats on the lake, unattended now for all to drown
I'm incredibly down.
Just like myself they are neglected,
Turn with my eyes to the wall
What am I supposed to do now?

Goodbye, Blackberry Way
I can't see you, I don't need you.
Goodbye, Blackberry Way
Sure to want me back another day.

Run for the train, look behind you for she may be there
Said a thing in the air
Blackberry Way, see the battlefield of careless sins
Cast to the winds
So full of emptiness without her,
Lost in the words that I said.
What am I supposed to do now?

Goodbye, Blackberry Way
I can't see you, I don't need you.
Goodbye, Blackberry Way
Sure to want me back another day.

Goodbye, Blackberry Way
I can't see you, I don't need you.
Goodbye, Blackberry Way
Sure to want me back another day.
