Hes leaving on the midnight train to Georgia
He's leaving yes he's leaving on that midnight train to Georgia.
Said he's going back to find a simpler place and time
And when he takes that ride (yes he is) guess whose gonna be there with him
I'm gonna be right by his side
(On the midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine

Yeah, gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
Brown sugar
How come you taste so good?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should, ah yeah
Yeah, drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way.
In every job that's to be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap
The jobs a game
And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark a spree it's very clear to see
That a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Etc.

Sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
Honey
Oh, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
I just can't believe
The loveliness of loving you
I just can't believe it's true
I just can't believe
The wonder of this feeling, too
I just can't believe it's true
Ah, sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you

I bet you're you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy
You knew before
Between the two of us guys you know I loved you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Oooh I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Honey honey.

Well I heard through the world you have travelled
News came by on the grapevine
So I hope you don't seem to be simple, no
Cos you were a good friend of mine
We were just friends back in schooldays
We shared cigarettes, girls and wine
You got lucky, came into some money
You were a good friend of mine

Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers
And telephone screamers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way
I'd just walk out those doors
And wander
Down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
Nobody was calling me up for favors
No one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song

I can walk down the street like there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
Though my mind wants to cry out loud

I feel free
I feel free
I feel free

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, cry girl
When I saw you and that girl, walking arround

I would rather, I would rather go blind boy
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free

I love to see your hair shining
In the long summer's light
I love to watch the stars fill the sky
On a summer night
The music plays you take his hand
I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
And I wish I were blind
When I see you with your man
We struggle here but all our love's in vain
And these eyes that once filled me with your beauty
Now fill me with pain
And the light that once entered here
Is banished from me
And this darkness is all baby that my heart sees
And though the world is filled
With the grace and beauty of God's hand
Oh I wish I were blind
When I see you with your man

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you there for me
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me, " I beg
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

Some one like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy give and never think about myself
If I listen long enough to you
I found a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Now I bring you home
You told me goodnight's not enough for you
I'm sorry baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
No, I didn't mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasn't trying to lead you on
Not like you think
I didn't mean to turn you on

(Another of my favourites dayvidg😄)

Blinded by the light
Revved up by the deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up by the deuce
Another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister
Told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on to something strong
Sing a song with a funky break
And go kart Mozart checking out the weather chart
To see if is safe to go outside
And little early pearly came by in his curly wurly
And asked me if I needed a ride

But she was blinded by the light (x 3)

Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this
And see what's behind
Got no way to prove it
So maybe I'm lying
But I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me
Don't put your blame on me

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
Its been three long years
Do you still love me?
If I dont see an ribbon round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I dont see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree.

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

With your long blonde hair and eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you was
Sorrow, sorrow

Your acting funny spending all my money
Your out there playing your high class games of
Sorrow, sorrow

It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me, "Do you feel alright?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you

Whilst combing my hair now and wondering what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
So he called for his pipe
And he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three
But the clock, tick-tock
On the mantlepiece
And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch
The walls
She's a lady, she's got time
Brush back your hair and let me get to know your face
She's a lady, she is mine
Oh, brush back your hair and let me get to know your flesh

Well, I woke up Sunday mornin'
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

That's why I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
I'm easy
Easy like sunday morning

Why in the world would they put chains on me
I've paid my dues and I make it
Everybody wants me.to be what they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it.

That's why I'm easy
Easy like sunday morning

(heh heh heh)
(heh heh heh)
Life is the same and it always will be
(heh heh heh)
Easy as picking foxes from a tree
(heh heh heh)
But I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action
(heh heh heh)
(heh heh heh)
A stud is a lamb with the thoughts of a tiger
(heh heh heh)
Who moves like a cat and knows how to ride her
(heh heh heh)
I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action, baby
