Oh, I've got a little car and she might go far She's the mistress of my heart now She's a '65 with an overdrive And I fixed her in every part now Two in the front and two in the back A hundred and ten on the old hog's back My MGB-GT, she's a runner now MGB-G...

What a fool I was What a thin disguise Brando mumble Mingus eyes Was a time she fell But then she got wise Brando mumble Mingus eyes Never had the squint of James Dean or the Stanislavsky tears Or the rebel hunch that kills Or the smile that slowly disappear...

My dearest Miss Patsy, Im writing to say That Im sorry to not be in touch Its been quite a parade, but my thoughts never strayed Too far, or too long, or too much Miss Patsy, forgive all the choices I made Ive been fighting shadows on the wrong crusade Lookin...

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay Ain't it sad And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me That's too bad In my dreams I have a plan If I got me a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and h...

So you think you know how to wipe your own nose? You think you know how to button your clothes? You don't know shit if you hadn't already guessed You're just a bump on the log of life, 'cause mother knows best She tells everybody she was born in a ditch She b...

My soul, my soul, my soul My soul, my soul, my soul My soul, my soul, my soul My soul, my soul, my soul Shes never gonna shake it up Shes never gonna shake it up Shes never gonna shake it up Shell never be satisfied Shes never gonna eye me right Shes never g...

Mystery wind, blowing tonight Driving rain, close up tight Don't leave a crack for the rain to get in Don't leave a hole for the mystery wind From some other time, and some other place Mystery wind make a fool say grace Lord above how great thou art Mystery w...

I see young girls with old faces I see good girls in bad places I see plain girls in finery And every one be the death of me Needle and Thread, Needle and Thread Hand me down my Needle and Thread Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Going to thread up my needle and then G...

O who will remember, o who will be sure And still feel the silence as close as before And was there a season without any rain, And never, o never, o never again? The time for dividing and no-one will speak Of the sadness of hiding, and the softness of sleep O...

Night comes in, like some cool river How can there be, be another day? Take my hand, oh real companion And we'll dance, dance till we fade away Oh, the songs pour down like silver They can only, only break my heart Drink the wine, the wine of lovers Lovers ti...

Everybody came to nobody’s wedding Everybody knew it was bound to be a hoot What can you do when nothing else is cooking Make your own amusement, bring a pile of loot There was Alice the butcher, Tidy and Gunn Who couldn’t see where they were heading It was s...

When the stone is grown too cold to kneel In crystal waters I'll be bound Cold as stone, weary to the sounds upon the wheel Now be thankful for good things below Now be thankful to your maker For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know When the fire is...

As I was walking down by old Thames side Oh my foot and my heart seem to falter And there you were standing by a Custom House landing Like Venus risen out of the water And they say it's because, well, I'm a fool in love That I swear there's no beauty before y...

One door opens, another shuts behind One sun sets and another sun she rises Love comes to you in old familiar ways Love comes to you in shadows and disguises She may quit you, she may forsake you Drift away like a phantom in a fever Who walks in to your heart...

God never listened to Charlie Parker Charlie Parker lived in vain Blasphemer, womanizer Let a needle numb his brain Wash away his monkey music Damn his demons, damn his pain And what's the point of Albert Einstein What do we need Physics for' Heresy's his ins...

You and I, tempted by the promise of a different life Time has fled, there's a constant battle Running through my head I don't know what to do 'cause I still believe After all the foolish things you put me through I could always make a start on something new...
