"Knocking Down Our Home"



Your heart is in your home they say
Your home's where you belong
But someone stole my heart today
So listen to my song...

I heard the news today
They're going to move us far away
Seems that our home must go
They're going to build a motorway

It isn't fair, nobody cares
They're knocking down our home
Ruining all we own
They're knocking down our home
Please help us
Don't let them take our home

Ma's cooking at the stove
Where she's cooked for thirty years
Ten thousand meals she's cooked
But now her eyes are filled with tears

It isn't fair, nobody cares
They're knocking down our home
Ruining all we own

 "Give It A Try"

   

Give it a try and we can make it so high
You'll never feel this way again
Wipe off your sorrow and pain, come into my heart

Just give it the time, should work out fine
We can make it, we can break it
It's not a command, just give me your hand
We can break it, whoa oo We can take it, take it

Give it a try and then change your desire
You'll never make love on your own
Now that the love seed is sown
Don't put out the fire

Give it the time, we can work out fine
We can make it, we can break it
It's not a command, baby, give me your hand
We can break it, we can take it

Give it a try and we can make it so high
You'll never feel this way again
Wipe off your sorrow and pain, come into my heart
Give it a try and then change your desire
You'll never make love on your own
Now that the love seed is sown
Don't put out the fire, yea!
La la la la la, la la la la la, la, la, la.

Maybe Tomorrow"



Listen to a lonely sound. See the grey and sadness all around
See the people go their way. Care not of me and love I've lost today

Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice

And so I'm living for a dream. Each lonely day spent looking for the sunshine
I'll make believe that I don't care. I'll tell my friends I love my life, I'm happy

Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice

Wherever, whoever you may be. Let the light of your love
Shine through the window of my heart
Then when you've coloured all my thoughts bright
Don't let me ever ever think of night, no-oo yeah!

Maybe tomorrow you will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow you will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice
Maybe tomorrow you will love again

"Storm In A Teacup"

   
Well, you just slammed the door in my face
Well, that ain't any disgrace
It's a natural thing to do
Because true love never runs smooth

Well It's just a storm in a teacup, baby
We'll never break up, baby
Storm in a teacup, baby

You will leave for a day
Then come back here anyway
You'll come knocking on my door
And then tell me, "Shut that door!"

Yeah Yeah It's just a storm in a teacup, baby
We'll never break up, baby
Storm in a teacup, baby

It's just a storm in a teacup, baby
We'll never break up, baby
Storm in a teacup, baby

You will leave for a day
Then come back here anyway
You'll come knocking on my door
And then tell me, "Shut that door!"

It's just a storm in a teacup, baby
We'll never break up, baby
Storm in a teacup, baby
We'll never break up, baby
Storm in a teacup
Storm in a teacup
Storm in a teacup, yeah.

"Arthur"

   

Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhh

Arthur loves his wife and children Arthur takes lunch everyday
Arthur likes it at the local Likes his pint at end of day

A-A--Arthur There's a problem becking 'round the corner
A-A-Arthur She's already had one owner

Arthur talks to sexy Frida Takes her milk there everyday
Frida's telling hungry Arthur of the debt she'd like to pay

But she hasn't got the money Arthur coughs to clear the air
Asks him in and calls him "honey" Up they toggle up the stairs

A-A--Arthur There's a problem becking 'round the corner
A-A-Arthur She's already had one owner

Arthur hates his wife and children Makes his own lunch everyday
Likes it down at sexy Frida's Frida takes a pint a day

A-A--Arthur There's a problem becking 'round the corner
A-A-Arthur She's already had one owner

 "I Can't Take It"


Just give me five so I can step outside
Or even give me three and I'll be satisfied
But if you give me none at all
You're gonna see me climb that wall
And you know you're gonna see me fall
I can't take it

Take all the nights that a man can give
And make all the days so a man can live
But if you take up every hour
You're gonna take up all my power
And you know you're gonna turn me sour
I can't take it, no

CHORUS:
I can't take it, wooo
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, wooo
Place a lock upon my door

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]

Give me all your money in your dark, brown vase
You've even got my soul in your dark, brown case
But baby, can't you see outside?
You know you've got my fingers tied
And you know you're gonna hurt my pride
I can't take it, no

CHORUS 4 times

I can't take it, wooo
I can't take it...

   


   
BADFINGER - "I Can't Take

 "I Don't Mind"

   

Birds sing and doorbells ring in answer
People say it's a lovely day outside
I don't mind, I've got my way of living
Even if it's only for the ride

I don't mind if people find me lazy
I could say it's only for the fun
Step inside and see if I can make you
After all it's only just begun

You don't know me, what's on my mind
You can't show me what I can't find

Days, nights, alright, it's easy
Breaking time and making rhymes for you
I don't mind, I've got my way of giving
Even if it's all I ever do

[piano solo (Pete Ham)]

Step inside and see if I can make you
Even if it's only for the ride

You don't know me, what's on my mind
You can't show me what I can't find.

 "Love Me Do"


Honey, don't you know I love you
'Cause I give you all I can, I do
Everything I've tried to help you, love me too

Give a little of what you take from me, honey
That's all you have to do
Won't you come on over here and love me, love me do

Love, love, love me, love me do
Love, love, love me, love me do, yeah

Honey, don't you think I need ya
Mm mm, indeed I do
Won't you come on over here and love me, love me too

Give a little of what you take from me, honey
That's all you have to do
Won't you come on over here and love me, love me do

Love, love, love me, love me do, oh yeah
Love, love, love me, love me do, oh yeah

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Honey, don't you think I love ya
'Cause I give you all I can, I do
I tried everything I could to help you, love me too

Ooh, now, love, love, love me, love me do
Love, love, love me, love me do

Love, love, love me, love me do
Love, love, love me, love me do, oh yes
C'mon, love, love, love me, love me do, won't you, lover?
Love, love, love me, love me do
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!

   


   
BADFINGER - "Love Me Do" lyrics

"Midnight Caller"

   
Beneath the midnight caller
She thinks of paper green
You never hear them calling her name
They just know where they've been

You never hear her holler
The tears no longer come
She reads her daily book of the past
That shows of everyone

Grey years that show in her hair
Can't be, but don't seem to care
She unlocks the door and there's no one there

She sees a daytime stroller
Walk from the night before
And though she paints a smile on her face
He won't be back no more

She's got no saint to follow
She's got no place to go
Too proud to ask an old friend for help
Too proud to let him know

Grey years that show in her hair
Can't be, but don't seem to care
She knocks the door and there's no one there

Nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody), nobody's gonna help you now.

"No Matter What"

   

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl, with you

No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Ooh girl, want you

CHORUS:
Knock down the old, grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be

No matter where you go
There would always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl
Ooh girl, want you

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]

CHORUS

REPEAT VERSE 1

Ooh girl, you girl, want you
Ooh girl, you girl, want you.
