IN THE MORNING / MORNING OF MY LIFE
In the morning when the moon is at its rest,
you will see me at the time I love the best,
watching rainbows, play on sunlight,
pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
'Tis the morning of my life.
In the daytime I will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
building castles in the shifting sands
in a world that no one understands,
in the morning.
'Tis the morning of my life.
In the morning of my life
the minutes take so long to drift away.
Please be patient with your life,
it's only morning and you're still to live your day.
In the evening I will fly you to the moon,
to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room,
where we'll stay until the sun shines,
another day to swing on clothe's lines,
may I be yawning.
It is the morning of my life.
It is the morning of my life.
In the morning,...
LIKE NOBODY ELSE
Everything I want I got, and I got you girl.
You really fool me, baby, to my little world.
I love you like nobody else,
I love you like nobody else,
I love you like nobody else.
Put yourself in my place.
Do you love me too?
Take a look at my face.
The world I say is you.
I love you and nobody else,
I love you and nobody else,
I love you and nobody else.
Play you no games girl (play you no games, girl).
I tell you no lies (I tell you no lies).
Oh, take my loving hands, girl, (take my hands, girl)
when you look in my eyes, (look in my eyes)
I love you like nobody else,
I love you like nobody else,
I love you like nobody else.
ALL BY MYSELF
I know my street, that's where I live .
I never take, I always give.
They always leave me on the shelf.
I live my life all by myself.
My car ain't big, I can't go fast.
And every drink I take's the last.
I'm always trying to save my health.
I live my life all by myself.
Everything I have I own and no one lives on me.
I'm a man who stands alone.
That's where I'll be.
That's where I'll be.
So take your hand down off my chair
'cause I'm the one who's sitting there
And I ain't neve seen no wealth.
I live my live all by myself.
My car ain't big, I can't go fast
And every drink I take's the last.

That's where I'll be.

So take your hand down off my chair
'cause I'm the one who's sitting there.
And I ain't never seen no wealth .

STORM
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can you see me,
see me at all?
Do you know me?
Can you show me?
If you hear me,
don't let me fall.
Is it raining in the sunshine
and the wind blows in my eyes.
Lying face down to the hard ground
I can face the cloudy skies.
And although I may be dying, I will bide my love,
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting,
I'll be waiting in the storm.
You were my girl in the springtime,
with the sunshine in my day.
Your sweet lips, your fingertips
and you touch me but you won't stay.
Is it raining in the sunshine
and the wind blows in my eyes.
Lying face down to the hard ground
I can face the cloudy skies.
And although I may be dying, I will bide my love,
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting,
I'll be waiting in the storm.
Can you hear me?
Are you near me
in the storm?
BUTTERFLY
Green fields where we used to wander,
purple valleys, near my home.
We would play there, beneath the sky
and then I kissed you, butterfly.
Young girl, you came restless
and you left me here to cry
my big teardrops in red pastures
for I loved you, butterfly.
Butterfly, yeah.
I dream about you, lonely without you, butterfly.
Butterfly, yeah.
Each night I'm sleeping, your face goes creeping, butterfly.

TERRIBLE WAY TO TREAT YOUR BABY
I know that she loves you now,
but your heart doesn't keep any vows
and that's a terrible way to treat your baby,
a terrible way you hurt that girl.
It's a terrible way you treat your baby
when you know that I love her
more than anything in this world.
Her heart isn't for a game
so tell her you don't feel the same,
for that's a terrible way to treat your baby,
a terrible way you hurt that girl.
It's a terrible way you treat your baby
when you know that I love her
more than anything in this world.

and if you give me the chance to take her hand
and try to change her mind,
for it's a terrible way to treat your baby,
a terrible way you hurt that girl.
It's a terrible way to treat your baby
when you know that I love her
more than anything in this world.
For it's a terrible way to treat your baby,

when you know that I love her
more than anything in this world.
EXIT STAGE RIGHT
Baby, I've got a one-way ticket to nowhere.
Ain't got hundreds, so I count money in this chair.
Exit, stage right. Baby, I get stage fright,
And my baby runs this show and she's got a big share.
Sold my car and I got no transport in this town.
One night, baby, you'll look for me. I won't be around.
Exit, stage right. Baby, I get stage fright,
And my baby runs this show and she's got a big share.
COALMAN
I tell my troubles to the coalman.
He's a coalman but he understands.

Head is touching the ground.

I AM THE WORLD
I'm the sun and the falling rain,
I'm the kind of man you can't explain.
True love is one thing I've been dreaming of ,
I give my love to you,
and when I do,
you are to me the very deepest part of me.
I am the world,
I am the sky,
I am the sea,
I'm anything that you want me to be.
When you hurt me,
then I become the night time,
the shadows in my eyes
don't make it good
for me to see
the way I should.
I am the world,
I am the sky,
I am the sea,
I'm anything that you want me to be.
I'm the sun and the falling rain,

Cherry red, sweeter than the honeycomb,
sweeter still when we're alone,

I wonder why (wonder why)
the stars that night shine big and bright for me.

Is it you my love that I can see?

HOW MANY BIRDS
I'll be so lonely without you, baby,
don’t know what I’m gonna do.
I’m going crazy without you, baby,
look at what I’m going through, ah.
How many times must I tell you I love you,
tell you I love you,
times before.
You don’t believe that I’m worth all your kisses,
I’m worth more than this,
but you ignore.
How many birds will I see high and flying?
How many birds will it take till I get you?
I will be crying, yeah.
Maybe tomorrow you’ll come walking my way,
come talking my way,
you’ll find out.
My love for you will be stronger than truer,
I’ll look at you and
there’s no doubt.
How many birds will I see high and flying?
How many birds will it take till I get you?
I will be crying, yeah.
I'll be so lonely without you, baby,
don’t know what I’m gonna do.
I’m going crazy without you, baby,
look at what I’m going through.
Baby, baby, baby.
SECOND HAND PEOPLE
See the cracks upon the wall.
We do not know the meaning of it all.
Ain't no fire to warm my feet.
Ain't got a nickel for a bit to eat.
We're not working,
we're not slaving.
Ain't worth a brain,
'cause we're not worth saving.
Second hand people,
tall as a steeple,
aofter than treacle,
in a pond are we
second hand people.
Ain't no mirror to comb my face.
Just keep on going from place to place.
Ain't got no lights above my head.
Don't even bother to leave my bed.
We're not living,
we're existing.
We're not moving,
just resisting.
Second hand people,
tall as a steeple,
softer than treacle,
in a pond are we
second hand people,
tall as a steeple,
softer than treacle....
BORN A MAN
When I was just a little boy,
when I didn't know,
my daddy put me on his knee
and showed me the way to go.
He said: a woman will do her best
to make a fool out of you,
so be a man and stand the chest
and see what you can do.
I'm glad I am born a man,
I'm glad I am born a man.
If you got what it takes, my boy,
you can always choose.
Work it out before it's too late, my boy,
make sure you never lose.
I'm glad I am born a man,
I'm glad I am born a man.
Born a man, I'm
born a man I'm
born a man, I'm
born a man I'm
born a man, I'm
born a man I'm
born a man, I'm
born a man I'm
born a man, I'm
born a man I'm
born a man, I'm
You don’t believe what I say, eh.
Every woman wants her man
to live and learn on her lap.
Where do I go, baby, if you go,
arrangement, man and wife.
I'm glad I am born a man,
I'm glad I am born a man.
Born a man,...
SPICKS AND SPECKS
Where is the sun that shone on my head,
the sun in my life it is dead, it is dead.
Where is the light that would play in my streets,
and where are the friends I could meet, I could meet.
Where are the girls I left all behind,
the spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind.
Where is the sun hat shone on my head,
the sun in my life it is dead, it is dead.
Where are the girls I left all behind,
the spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind.
Where are the girls I left all behind,
the spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind.
Where is the girl I loved all along,
the girl that I loved, she's gone, she's gone.
All of my life I call yesterday,
the spicks and the specks of my life've gone away.
All of my life I call yesterday,
the spicks and the specks of my life've gone away.
Everybody
Spicks and specks,
spicks and specks,
spicks and specks,
spicks and specks.
