I love your head
I love the way you hold your head
Because you’re young
And you know it
Because you’re young
There ain’t nothing you can’t do
Because you know
There ain’t nothing you can’t do
I love your head
I love the way you hold your head
Because you know
There is no connection between old
And what’s new
And there ain’t nothing you can’t do
Oh, nothing at all
And you know that gun is loaded
Sure you do
Summertime blue
Summertime blue
Yes you know that gun is loaded
Sure you do
If not for you
The way you walk
I love the way you wear contempt
For my sort
Oh, should I give you my money?
A steady hand
A little trigger happy
Angry little man
Oh, pull the trigger take it all
And you know that gun is loaded
Sure you do..
I love your head
I love the way you hold your head
Because you’re young
And you know it
A steady hand
A little trigger happy
And we’ll tell you how to live
And we’ll take away the reason
And we wonder why we wonder
How you’re not the way that we were
The more I learn the less I know
Could you make mine straight absolute?
The more I fail the less I try
Ask not of me the reason why
Oh, my sentimental fool
Have I got a tale for you
The woman I love is not content
The life I made, it ain't what I meant
The space I'm in is filled with love
The state I'm in is pitiful
Oh, my sentimental fool
Have I got a tale for you
But, when she calls my name
We're almost happy, she's almost like you
Yes, when she calls my name
we're almost there
Man, she's almost like you
The longer I live the less I believe
And all I lost is all I need
The life I made is filled with regret
And I can't tell the half of it.
The woman I love has lost her faith
And I just watch as she fades away
The space I'm in is filled with love
The shape I'm in ain't beautiful.
Oh, my sentimental fool
Have I got a tale for you
Oh, my sentimental fool
I'm draining the glass for you
Do you see my girl?
She's almost like you
Yes, you're taking it badly, I know, I know
And you feel so alone
And everybody's got to tell you what you already know.
It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright
There's a riot going on, maybe I'm going under and
I didn't know that you cared
"Was it love that you had?" she said, "well, something like that" and I,
I didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know.
I see photographs strewn on the floor
Amidst your Blake and your young
Are you looking for something that's already gone?
It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright
There's a riot going on, maybe I'm going under and
I didn't know that you cared ,
Somebody said "Peace is alright, could we give it a try?"
Well, I, I didn't know that you cared
I got a letter, it was asking for money, it said
"Give what you can."
Well, I don't know what I've got
And I don't know if I really want to be
So aware
Yes, I'm falling apart at the seams and I,
I've been waiting for years
Take a look in my eyes, do you see any tears?
It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright
There's a riot going on and we're lions in slumber and
I didn't know that you cared
And if I gave you some petrol, would you make yourself useful?
Well, I didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know that you cared
Didn't even know you were there
No, I didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know
That you cared.
Hey, hey, hey,
Look at me now,
I'm unrecognizable.
My trademark frown
Has grown
Into the strangest easy smile.
And oh, my, my,
Where did I go wrong?
Ask all my drunken friends
Who's going to carry us home?
Who's going to drink 'til the morning?
Who's going to carry us home?
Love ruined everything
As the ladies line their eyes
And the gents make their excuses
And the talk is going cheap
I'll be smiling in my sleep
Hey, hey, hey,
Look at her now
She's the life of the party
Oh, my, my,
Where did she go wrong?
Ask all my drunken friends...
Who's going to carry us home?
Who's going to drink 'til the morning?
Who's going to carry us home?
Love ruined everything
As the ladies line their eyes
And the gents make their excuses
And the talk is going cheap
I'll be smiling in my sleep
You up and leave me, cold turkey
When you know I could not tie my own shoe
This does not please me, no not exactly
Guess you do not give a damn for my love
Everybody knows that she's worse than religion
No, you do not cross a woman in love
Every garden grows at the turn of the season
But Paris in the spring doesn't mean a damn thing to my baby
You beat me up, you put me down
You slander my name all over town
Guess I'm big enough to roll with the punches
But you bruised me, you abused me damn good
Everybody knows that she's worse than religion
No, you do not cross a woman in love
Every garden grows at the turn of the season
But Paris in the spring didn't do a damn thing
I love you so, so much
You love me so, so what?
I choose my friends only far too well
I'm up on the pavement they're all down in the cellar
with their government grants and my IQ
They brought me down to size academia blues
Louise is a girl I know her well
She's up on the pavement yes she's a weather girl
And I'm staying up here so I may be undone
She's inappropriate but then she's much more fun and
When she smiles my way
My eyes go out in vain
She's got perfect skin
Shame on you you've got no sense of grace Shame on me just in case I might
Come to a conclusion other than that which is absolutely necessary
and that's perfect skin
Louise is the girl with the perfect skin
She says turn on the light otherwise it can't be seen
She's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin
And she's sexually enlightened by Cosmopolitan and
When she smiles my way
My eyes go out in vain
for her perfect skin
Yeah that's perfect skin
She takes me down to the basement to look at her slides
of her family life pretty weird at times
At the age of ten she looked like Greta Garbo and I loved her then
But how was she to know that
When she smiles my way
My eyes go out in vain
She's got perfect skin
Up eight flights of stairs to a basement flat
Pretty confused huh being shipped around like that?
Seems we climbed so high now we're down so low
Strikes me the moral of this song must be there never has been one.
They were married in June
She was gone before the leaves were even turning
She said "Well, I knew he was a fool, but somehow I
thought my welfare concerned him"
Must the one always have to change
Whilst the other must always remain?
Must the cards all be dealt facing down?
Turn away, turn away, turn your blue skies to grey
Now, when it comes to September
I've got my own unhappy song
October, November, December
And still she is gone
Unhappy song
He was torn between the romance and the mundane
He was torn every morning.
He was surprised or was he horrified to find
The mundane the more rewarding
She was upon him before he even knew it
And anyone who had a hat would surely know
It only rains when you leave it at home,
And all the umbrellas are broke.
Oh, save yourself a fiver, you're already soaking
Come on September
and sing me that old unhappy song
October, November, December
And still she is gone
Unhappy song
They were married in June
There was ice beneath the snow
And everywhere else was closed,
But the locks had been changed
Sure, the neighbors were the same, they said
"You never should treat someone so bad."
She was gone before the leaves were even turning
She said "Well, I knew he was a fool, but somehow I
thought my welfare concerned him"
Must the one always have to change
Whilst the other must always remain?
Must the cards all be dealt facing down?
Turn away, turn away, turn your blue skies to grey
Now, when it comes to September
I've got my own unhappy song
October, November, December
And still she is gone
Unhappy song
Living on juice
Eating out of tuna cans
Mobile home
With my dairy queen
Tied me a knot
She had to cut me loose
I liked her a lot
Like lovers do
Julia came
Eating a tangerine
Friday the third
4.30
She tore out a page
Of my magazine
Then she went away
Like lovers do
Saturday girls
Kept me warm a while
Sunday sunshine
Kills all conversation
You look in her eyes
And you see circles
Then she lets you get away
Like lovers do
Everyday
Are you so sad to see me
And I'm so glad to take the blame
If it's always going to be that way
Living on juice
Eating out of tuna cans
Mobile home
With my dairy queen
Tied me a knot
She had to cut me loose
Now I'm looking at you
Like lovers do
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Let it rest there for a while
I guess that I'm still good for something
Once in a while
And if you need someone to talk to
Just give a call I'll be around
And if you want me to avoid you
Just say the word
If you love him you should leave me
That's the best thing to do
And if you need him you don't need me
Like you used to
And if you believe that you'll be happy
Then I'm happy for you
Guess that it's just kind of funny
Ain't it me who never cried?
I guess that I'll still kind of love you
For a little while
If you love him you should leave me
That's the best thing to do
And if you need him you don't need me
Like you used to
And if you believe that you'll be happy
Then I'm happy for you
You silly thing
Don't you apologize
You don't owe me
Did you get all that you wanted?
Then did you give it all away?
Oh, did we take it all for granted?
We'd really love for you to stay
Now, the world is very old
And the sky is very high
And we're just traffic in between
You and I
And if I knew my way
Well, I'd be there
Now, wouldn't I?
Don't you know it only gets louder
When you cut off your ear
Do you know how good it gets?
Are revelations all you need?
Did you smash your brand new Birdland?
Was it too much speed?
Now, the world is very old
And the sky is very high
And we're just traffic in between
You and I
And if I knew my way
Well, I'd be there
Now, wouldn't I?
Lucy jumped from the 39th floor
Said she just couldn't face another poor man
Every juke box stuck on the 'who's next'
Well, that almost got me when Jimmy said
Let's get lost
Go work on a farm
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt fate, boy, get a pair of cheap skates
Penny walked in with that Love in Vain look
Said every last man should be hanging from a meat hook
Looked in my eye, singing Marry me Bill
I loosened my tie just as Jimmy said
Let's get lost
Go work on a farm
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt fate, boy, get a pair of cheap skates
And I was so depressed today
Bobby said we're going to get rich quick
You buy a brand new car
They give you automatic cash back
Pick up a parking lot, no money down
He was counting the cost just as Jimmy said
Let's get lost
Go work on a farm
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt fate, boy, get a pair of cheap skates
I took 15 years
To break your spell
I loved you then
I love you still
I wake up cold
I wake up wet
My body weak
My mind is spent
I fill my days
I pay my rent
And I have no need
Of electric light
Because I dream the same
dream every night
I call my man
I know it's late
Could you fix me something
to put me straight?
Because I need your love
I need it now
God speed your love
For crying out loud
You took all I have
There is no more
Mother nature lied
There is no cure
So I take my pill
I close my eyes
And I wait for sleep
I wait all night
But I see your face
I hear your voice
So I call your number
I have no choice
Because I need your love
I need it now
God speed your love
For crying out loud
I took 15 years
To break your spell
I loved you then
I guess I failed
I wake up cold
I wake up wet
My body weak
My mind is spent
I fill my days
I pay my rent
And I have no need
And I have no one
Because I need your love
I need it now
God speed your love
God speed your love to me
For crying out loud
