More song lyrics 6

Come over to the window, my little darling
I'd like to try to read your palm
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Well you know that I love to live with you
But you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray for the angels
And then the angels forget to pray for us

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

I wonder who's it is
I see you queuing up outside Saint Peter's gates
You can feel bonafide if you ride with the tide
But it's not real
And how does it feel to be out on your own?
How does it feel to be thinking?
And how does it feel to be out on the run?

I'm a-gonna raise a fuss
I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just-a trying to earn a dollar

Every time I call my baby
Try to get a date
My boss says "No dice, son
You gotta work late"

Sometimes I wonder
What I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love ...
Some other time, that's what you say, when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'Cause you don't want my love.

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry

North was somewhere years ago and cold
Ice locked the people's hearts and made them old
South was birth to pleasant lands, but dry
I walked the waters' depths and played my mind
East was dawn, coming alive in the golden sun
The winds came gently, several heads became one
In the summertime, though august people sneered
We were at peace, and we cheered
We walked along, sometimes hand in hand
Between the thin lines marking sea and sand
Smiling very peacefully
We began to notice that we could be free
And we moved together
To the West

My baby whispers in my ear
Mm, sweet nothin's (yea)
He knows the things I like to hear
Mm, sweet nothin's
Things he wouldn't tell nobody else
Secret baby, I keep 'em to myself
Sweet nothin's
Mm, sweet nothin's
We walk along hand in hand
Mm, sweet nothin's (yea)
Yeah, we both understand
Mm, sweet nothin's
Sittin' in classroom trying to read my book
My baby give me that special look
Sweet nothin's
Mm, sweet nothing's
Ah, sittin on my front porch
Mm, sweet nothin's (yea)
Well, do I love you? Of course
Mm, sweet nothin's (yea)
Mama turned on the front porch light sayin'
"Come in daughter, that's enough for tonight"
Sweet nothings

Though I know that we meet every night
And we couldn't have changed since the last time
To my joy and delight
It's a new kind of love at first sight
Though it's you, and it's I all the time
Every meeting's a marvelous pastime
You're increasingly sweet
So whenever we happen to meet
I greet you with a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace

Nowhere to run to, baby (nowhere to run, nowhere to hide)
Nowhere to hide (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Got nowhere to run to, baby (nowhere to run, nowhere to hide)
Nowhere to hide (ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's not love I'm a-running from
Just the heartbreak I know will come
'Cause I know you're no good for me (you're no good)
But you've become a part of me
Everywhere I go, your face I see
Every step I take, you take with me, yeah

I've got nowhere to run to
I've got nowhere to go
And no way of telling you
That none of you know
If I had my way
I'd be in there today
Turn the voltage on you
Burn you down
With the whole of your school
With your lessons on how
To dismiss others' feelings
While feeling that you're
Always ever so kind
Never cruel
But that's you
Only you
Of all us creatures on earth
That could only be you

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon

You asked me to a party
To a house just by the moon
You gave me silver loving
The end was all too soon
You asked me to the theatre
In a place quite near the sun
You gave me golden sunbeams
You act was all in fun
Rope ladder to the moon!

Let's swim to the moon,
Let's climb through the tide
Penetrate the evening that the
City sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love
It's our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

Honey pie, you are making me crazy
I'm in love but I'm lazy
So won't you please come home
Oh honey pie, my position is tragic
Come and show me the magic
Of your Hollywood song
You became a legend of the silver screen
And now the thought of meeting you
Makes me weak in the knee
Oh honey pie, you are driving me frantic
Sail across the Atlantic
To be where you belong

It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Hey, Captain Strange, won't you be my lover
You're the best thing that I've ever discovered
Flash Gordon's left me, he's gone to the stars
An evil Darth Vader has me banished to Mars

Tell me, Captain Strange, do you feel my devotion
Or are you like a droid, devoid of emotion
Encounters one and two are not enough for me
What my body needs is close encounter three

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

Chorus from "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered", Rodgers and Hart, 1940, (way before even my time), but ageless, and later (1956) made famous by the wonderful Ella Fitzgerald. Sheer genius.

"I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold, I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me

Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotuses lean on each other in yearning
Under the eaves the swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
One inch of love is one inch of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun

I was dreamin' of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

Oh, jealous heart, oh, jealous heart, stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done?
You have driven him away forever
Jealous heart, now I'm the lonely one
I was part of everything he planned for
And I know he loved me at the start
And now he hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you, oh, jealous heart

Come closer, come closer and listen
The beat of my heart keeps on missing
I notice it most when we're kissing
Come closer and love me tonight
That's right
Come closer and cuddle me tight

My heart goes
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
When you are near
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
Loud in my ear
Pounding away, pounding away
Won't you be mine?
Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the time

Her: Oh doctor, touch my fingers.
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.
Her: You may be very clever
But however, can't you see,
My heart beats much too much
At a certain tender touch,
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
Him: I like it!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.
