Love Is Blind

Remember the day
I just heard you say
Nobody knows
What the future will bring
And what I do is to sing
Just to sing you a song
Deep from my heart
Deep from my soul
I can hear her laughing
Not about me (but it seems to be)
It hurts that I'm not the one
Because I'm on the run
I don't wanna pray
I want you to stay
You know love is blind
Drinking bottles of wine
Cause I thought you'd be mine
You know love is blind
...
Oh, the eyes of love are blind
So unkind
Sitting down on the gallery
Hear your voices coming from the balcony
Yours and your son
You think I'm sitting in the sun
And my friend in my neighborhood
Gives you a home, to stay and not to be alone
A family that you care for and I know that
he cares and he even washes you underwear
I can hear her laughing
Not about me (but it seems to be)
It hurts that I'm not the one
Because I'm on the run
I don't wanna pray
I want you to stay
You know love is blind
Drinking bottles of wine
Cause I thought you'd be mine
You know love is blind
...
Cause I thought you'd be mine
The eyes of love are blind
So unkind

Your Daughter
04:26

Your daughter says
I'm too young for you
What does she know
She's just a fool
She says your skin
Ain't as soft as hers
What can I say
She's still a girl
Your daughter says
You don't shave your legs
And that you can't even
Fry an egg
Over easy - sunny side up
Compared to her
You end up on top
She might be younger
But that's not what counts
She might be younger
I hate her guts
For putting you down
Your daughter says
You're too old for me
She never knows what I feel
She keeps on talking
But I don't mind
My love is blind
My love is blind
Your daughter says
I'm too young for you
And pretty soon
I'll have to choose
She is waiting in the wings
Now I don't know
what the future will bring
My love is blind
My love is blind

Open Door
05:07

I recall
A time when you and I would talk a little more
To each other face to face, through love and war
When I knew there'd always be an open door for me
But I know, that home is just some place I always leave behind
It's with me everywhere I go and I close my eyes
And I know someday I'll catch you in the by and by
I know, I know
Dear mother
I know I have been away
for far too long
Dear mother
Hope you'll understand it
when you hear this song
Cause you taught me how to be right
in a world gone wrong
Gone wrong
But it ain't
It ain't how long you live
it's how you live your life
Burn bright until the grave don't shy
away from the light
Cause I won't waste my days
I will use my time
My time, my time
Dear father
I know I have been away for far too long
Dear father
I know you'll understand it when you hear this song
Cause you taught me how to be right in a world gone wrong
Gone wrong
I recall
A time when you and I would talk a little more
To each other face to face, through love and war
Well I hope there will always be an open door
For me

Some Call It The Blues
04:14
|
|||
|
I got a wicked feeling
Some call it the blues
I got a wicked feeling
Some call it the blues
Well, I am quite certain baby
I'm telling you all the truth
My wife she is gone
Away with another man
My pretty wife she is gone
Gone with another man
I really tried my best
I tried the best I can

Jump On My Waggon
04:34

Jump on my waggon and ride
Jump!
Jump on my waggon and ride with me
Jump on my waggon and ride
Jump!
Jump on my waggon and ride with me
When you get this low down feeling
And your head‘s about to burst
When you feel under the weather
And there‘s no money in your purse
Jump on my waggon and ride
Jump!
Jump on my waggon and ride with me
Jump on my waggon and ride
Jump!
Jump on my waggon and ride with me
We got it under control
Roll my waggon roll
We got it under control
Roll, roll, roll
When you look into the mirror
And a stranger looks back at you
When your body starts shaking all over
Then you got to face the truth
Jump on my waggon and ride
Jump!
Jump on my waggon and ride with me
Jump on my waggon and ride
Jump!
Jump on my waggon and ride with me

Streets Of London
07:03
|
|||
|
Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the papers
With his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
So how can you tell me ...
Let me take you by the hand ...
In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea-cup
Each tea lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone
So how can you tell me ...
Let me take you by the hand ...
Have you seen the old man
Outside the Seaman's Mission
Memory fading
With the medals that he wears
In the winter city
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care
So how can you tell me ...
Let me take you by the hand ...

(Whistle)
And I know what you feel
And I know your secret thoughts
I believe you are real
You're under my skin
Never saw you before
But I love the time we spend
And I know you're my friend
You're under my skin
(Whistle)
You're under my skin
Yes you are
Cannot live without you
Yes and I, I felt in love
I found you, yes I found you
You're under my skin
You're under my skin
(Whistle)
Yes you are
Cannot live without you
Yes and I, I felt in love
Yes I found, I found you
You're under my skin
You're under my skin
Of cause I know, it's just a deal
Your taste so fine, like whiskey or gin
I believe you are real
You're under my skin
You're under my skin
I'm just a fool ...
You're under my skin

Wonderful Life
06:36
|

|
Here I go out to see again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Sun's in your eyes, the heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you, because you're there
And I need a friend, oh, I need a friend
To make me happy, not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide ...
I need a friend, oh, I need friend
To make me happy
Not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide ...

Let Me Down Easy
04:05
|
|||
|
Let me hold you tight, just one more time
Let us count the stars, in the summer sky
Listen to the wind, in the willow trees
Let us once again dream the sweetest dreams
If you must go, and I know you will
Yes if you must go
(Voices)
If you must go, and I know you will
Yes if you must go, then let me down
Let me down easy, let me down easy
(Voices)
I knew it straight away, that you wouldn‘t stay
Although you haven‘t yet, said it to my face
But I‘ve heard the talk, I’ve seen the signs
You got someone else, on your mind
If you must go, and I know you will
Yes if you must go, then let me down
Let me down easy, let me down easy

Here’s to you my good old friends
You suffered and toiled throughout your lives
While I was resting in my bed
Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for the sun to shine
So raise your glasses, hold them high
You can say good bye to sorrow and pain
Sit down, relax. Take your time
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is another day
(Adlips)
And the earth is flat and the moon is a cheese
What you see is what you get
And all you got to say is please
It’s the only magic word you need
It’s the only magic word you need
Here’s to you my good old friends
My stars, my earth, my rainbows end
My life, my reason, my sun and moon
My devils, my angels, professors and fools
(Adlips)
Thru darkness, ice and snow you came
To find me sittin’ by the fireside
I was cosy, I was warm
Turning the water into wine
Turning the water into wine
So raise your glasses, hold them high
You suffered and toiled throughout your lives
While I was resting in my bed
Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for the sun to shine
(Adlips)
Waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for the sun to shine

Whip You

Whip you, make you dance ...
Make you dance right know
dance right know
Out of England
into France
Out of France
and into Spain
Every night
and every day
I'm gonna hit you
and whip you
again and again
Whip you ...
From the desert
to the mountain tops
From the seaside
to the parking lots
From the cradle
to the grave
I'm gonna hit you
and whip you
again and again
Whip you ...

You've got a friend in me, You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed, You just remember what your old pal said
You've got a friend in me - Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me, You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything, that I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me, You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too (Maybe)
But none of them, will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
