She Smiled Sweetly

Why do my thoughts loom so large on me?
They seem to stay, for day after day
And won't disappear, I've tried every way
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And says don't worry
Oh, no no no
Where does she hide it inside of her?
That keeps her peace most every day
And won't disappear, my hair's turning grey
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And says don't worry
Oh, no no no
"There's nothing in why or when
There's no use trying, you're here
Begging again, and ov'r again"
That's what she said so softly
I understood for once in my life
And feeling good most all of the time
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And said don't worry
Oh, no no no
Oh, no no no
Oh, no no no

Cool, Calm & Collected

Well she's very wealthy it's true
So in that she is one up one you
She's dressed all in red, white and blue
And she always knows more than you do
She's so affected
Cool, calm, collected
She knows who to smile to today
She has just been brought up in that way
She knows all the right games to play
And she always just knows what to say
She's well respected
Cool, calm, collected
She's so affected
Cool, calm, collected
In public the strain's heard to bear
She exudes such a confident air
But behind she is not without care
But she sweeps it right under her hair
She's well respected
Cool, calm, collected
She seems to glow brilliantly white
And her hair seems to shine in the night
With her feet unbelievably light
And her teeth ready, sharpened to bite
She's so respected
Cool, calm, collected

All Sold Out

Why put this sadness inside of me
Why be so matter-of-fact
Why put this one bit of hope in me
You sold me out and that's that
I hope that you're having fun with me
There's not much left to attack
I hope that you're nearly done with me
You sold me out and that's that
All sold out i'd never seen
A mind so tangled, a girl so strangled
All sold out well i felt so green
It was just like that
I was put down flat
I was sold out just like that
Oh baby
All sold out i'd never seen
A mind so tangled, a girl so strangled
All sold out well i felt so green
It was just like that
I was put down flat
I was sold out just like that
I missed the point of you doing it
Your mind has just jumped the track
I took a bit different view of it
You sold me out and that's that
Hey hey, that's that

My Obsession

My obsession
Your possessions
Every piece that i can get
My obsessions are
Your possessions
My mouth is soaking wet
I think i blew it now, confession
Can't dodge it, it's simple logic
Youd be better off with me and you'll know it
When you lost it, lonely (?)
My obsession are
Your possesion
Are you smiling on my way
My obsession are
Your possession
One that you should give away
Give it to me now i've no objection
I don't mind if it's unkind
And it's not my property
But i want it just to be mine, exclusively
Oooh baby, ooh baby
Oooh baby, oooh baby
Oooh baby, oooh baby
Oooh baby, oooh baby
Aaahhhh
You need teaching you're a girl
There are things in this world
That need teaching with discretion, my profession
My obsessions are
Your possessions
Are you used to the idea
My obsessions are
Your possessions
Do you feel at home right here
You should relax it's my impression
Didn't see you were so young
I could almost be your son
Please turn in my direction, no objection

Who's Been Sleeping Here

What you say girl, you see what is wrong
You, must be joking, you was led alone
But the butler the baker, the laughing cavalier
Will tell me now, who's been sleeping here
I want to know
Tell me baby, who's been sleeping here
What you say girl, who'd you see that night
I was doing, doing something right
Oh the soldier, the sailor then there's the three muskateers
Yes, they'll now tell me now, who's been sleeping here
Did i ever tell you i want to know
Hey baby, who's been sleeping here
Don't you look like, like a goldilocks
There must be somewhere, somewhere you can stop
Yes there's the noseless old newsboy the old british brigadier
But you'll tell me now, who's been sleeping here
Who's been eating, eating off my plate
Who will tell me, who'll investigate
There's the seargeants the soldiers the cruel old grenadiers
But they'll tell me, now, who's been sleeping here
Cause i want to know who's been sleeping right here
Was it your mummy, your daddy, who's been sleeping here
Was it your auntie, your uncle, who's been sleeping here
Was it your boyfriend, your girlfriend, who's been sleeping here

Complicated

She looks so simple in her way
Does the same thing everyday
But she's dedicated
To having her own way
She's very complicated
Yeah
Women seem to fill her mind
And many men in so short time
But she's underrated
She treats me oh so kind
She's very complicated
Yeah
We talk together and discuss
What is really best for us
She's sophisticated
My head's fit to bust
Cause she's so complicated
She knows just how to please her man
Softer than a baby lamb
But she's educated
Doesn't give a damn
She's very complicated
She looks so simple in her way
Does the same thing everyday
But she's dedicated
To having her own way
She's very complicated

Miss Amanda Jones

Down and down she goes
Aw, Amanda Jones
I said down and down and down and down
She'd look really lovely at home
Til somebody gonna come up and ask her
To live happily ever after, Miss amanda jones
On and on she goes
Little miss amanda jones
I said on and on and on and on
Just watch her as she grow
Don't wanna say it very obviously
But she's losing her nobility, miss amanda jones
Hey girl don't you realize
The money invested in you
Hey girl you just got to find
Someone who'll really pull your family through
Up and up she goes
Hone amanda jones
I said up and up and up and up
She looks quite delightfully stoned
She's the darling of the discotheque crowd
Of her lineage she's rightfully proud, miss amanda
Jones
Hey girl with your nonsense nose
All pointing right down at the floor
Hey girl your suspender shows
And the girl behind you looks a bit unsure
Round and round she goes
The world of amanda jones
i said round and round and round and round
The balls and the dinners and show
The little girl she just wanders about
Til it's time for her coming out, miss amanda jones
Round and round and round
Round and round and round....

Something Happened To Me Yesterday

Something happened to me yesterday
Something i can't speak of right away
Something happened to me
Something oh so groovy
Something happened to me yesterday
He don't know if it's right or wrong
Maybe he should tell someone
He's not sure just what it was
Or if it's against the law
Something
Something very strange i hear you say
You're talking in a most peculiar way
But something really threw me
Something oh so groovy
Something happend to me yesterday
(Yesterday)
He don't know just where it's gone
He don't really care at all
No one's sure just what it was
Or the meaning and the cause
Something
(Take your partners)
He don't know if it's right or wrong
Maybe he should tell someone
He's not sure just what it was
Or if it's against the law
Something
Someone says there's something more to pay
For sins that you committed yesterday
It's really rather drippy
But something oh so trippy
Something happened to me yesterday
He don't know just where it's gone
He don't really care at all
No one's sure just what it was
Or the meaning and the cause
Something
Someone's singing loud across the bay
Sittin on a mat about to pray
Isn't half as looney
As something oh so groovy
Something happened to me yesterday
He don't know if it's right or wrong
Maybe he should tell someone
He's not sure just what it was
Or if it's against the law
Something
(Spoken)
Well thank you very much and now I think it's time for us
All to go. so from all of us to all of you not forgetting
The boys in the band and our producer, Reg Thorpe,
We'd like to say "God Bless". So, if you're out tonight,
Don't forget, if you're on your bike, wear white. amen.

Sympathy For The Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's me name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah

No Expectations

Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man
Now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before
You heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leaving me
You pack my peace of mind
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
Its here, and then its gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again
