Travelled

Travelled the world a million ways,
Catching upon a familiar gaze
Everyone lives by do or die,
there's noone with time to laugh or cry
There's noone to tell us what we're living for.......

And though I try to be a good man,
I just know that I'll be losing very soon
And there are times and there are motions,
when I do believe I'm going out
of tune....oh..

I've been around a long,long while,
looking for sun to make me smile
Still multiplty the daily bread,
their thinking of lives for times ahead
It must be a mighty funny way to feel......

And though I try to be a good man,
I keep finding there's no where to begin
And so I think I'll go on singing,
and in time I hope that we can all join
in....oh..oh,oh,oh

Do,do,do,do,do,do
Do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do
Do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do

hmmm
La,la,la,la,la.......

Rosie Had Everything Planned

Acting upon information received
Rosie had everything planned
Stood in a garden with a shotgun in hand
What a woman

Whilst entertaining the headlines next day
Rosie would not be released
If it was found that her man was deceased
Silly woman

Oh but Rosie, a girl with a strange kind of humor
Stupidly took it a roomer
Making her think that she'd lost
Double-crossed by a man who still

Stood in the garden and shaking her head
Rosie could not understand
Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand
Sad, sad woman

Oh but Rosie, how could a few words have made her
Certain that he had betrayed her
Making her think that she'd lost
Double-crossed by a man who still very near to her

Row upon row of angel-hair
Rosie had everything planned
Sure that the people would not understand
Sad, sad woman

Forever

I will always love you true forever
Forever, I will always love you true
Hope you'll feel the same way too forever
Forever, I hope you feel the same way too
Want to spend my life with you forever
Forever, I want to spend my life with you

My life with you, my life with you, uhu
Life with you, my life with you, uhu

Love you 'till the day I die, yeah forever
Forever, love you 'till the day I die
So I'll sing this song to you forever
Forever, I will sing this song to you

Song to you, song to you
Song to you, song to you....

I really love you, I really need you..
I really love you, I think about you....

Potter

The name is Potter, hi there
I'm sure getting hotter, minder
I told her strict she could see my prickled cactus back in the confines of
my home
She didn't say yes, but she didn't say no, said just go get a cactus of her own

Nigger in the woodpile, ?mindout?
Trigger as a docile, find out
Roll up, roll up, come and see my ?fingermass singermass? songs like you
never seen before
Roll out, old town, to the place in town it's a case of a pound and a race
to the bedroom-door

Roll up, roll up, come and see my ?fingermass singermass? songs like you
never seen before
Roll out, old town, to the place in town it's a case of a pound and a race
to the bedroom-door

Coming Home To See You

You're very much like your mother
And that's a natural fact
But you couldn't look much like your brother's wife
Or anyone like that

And you don't look much like your sister
'Cause she's all big and fat
But don't breath a word to your mean all dad
'Cause I'll be gone midnight

I'm coming home to see you early in the morning
All be around and all the ?birdtrades? today
I'm coming home to see your hard day darling
All aboard, all aboard
Put on some fancy clothes and meet me at the station
Make sure I don't mistake you for your sister Jane
Don't want to see you with tour goddamn relations
That's all for now, I'll se you, chiao

Times Have Changed

Captain I am sorry that this ship should go a stray
Letting the ocean have it's own way
Lay me down to pass ?to send?, I'll pay for all my sins
Pleading for mercy, my cancel begins

Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I know this is the last, the chance for me

In and out of tumor, and in and out of mind
Deeper the ocean, stronger the tide
Stormy seas suround me, no sails to keep me dry
I pray to you captain, but you heard not my cry

Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I know this is the last, the chance for me
For me, for my story
Let me lie in peace
I want to say I'm sorry now
Then I'll be on my way
Then I'll be on my way
Then I'll be on my way
Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I know this is the last, the chance for me

Friend In Need

Hey buddy, wanna talk to you
I got a friend in need, a friend indeed
I hear you got a few friends too
Living up the stairs, sell their wears
And they don't care, 'cause they don't know that
Oooh he's very lovely
Oooh he's lost his one and only
Woman that he's ever had
It sure is bad, can you make him glad?
Hey mister can you help him out
Can you put him straight, before it gets to late
And show what it's all about

Hey mister where you got the dope?
Which will it be, to pay the fee?
I guess that you can see from me
So I'll be straight with you, I'll tell the truth
A friend in need is just really me

Aries

(Right, let's get the whole thing cooking)

I try to run in a different race
But every time I seem to loose face
Making it hard it's easy
But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace

I try to walk down a city-street
I say hello to the people I meet
They're walking their way and thinking I'm crazy
But I have so much trouble just to keeping the beat

Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
Whatever I was blessing
Well it worn't to laugh at me

Maybe I'm just a country boy
Hinging life bringing no joy
Well it's bringing me down, it's making me lonely
You see I'm fooling with a life and it ain't no toy

Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
And whenever I got problems
I just call upon Aries

Here she comes
Here she comes

School

I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
- he's coming along!

After School is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out
- and you're full of doubt

Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do?- Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticize, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come out and put your eyes

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see that way
- you're coming along!

Bloody Well Right

So you think your schooling's phoney
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree
Right, you're bloody well right
you know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
you know you got a right to say
Ha-ha you're bloody well right
you know you're right to say
Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right
you know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway!
Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry - no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right, quite right, you're bloody well right... etc.
