More song lyrics 8

Like a whisper, like a breeze
I wander quite slowly anywhere I please
I found me a pathway leading the right way
(Walking 'round) 'Round and 'round
Now I see clearly from the sky to the ground
I'm on a free ride inside and outside

I'm just looking around me
Letting myself be carried along
I'm just looking around me
Letting myself be carried along

Instinctively, you give to me the love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully, I say to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do

Upside down
Boy, you turn me inside out
And 'round and 'round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me inside out
And 'round and 'round

Every time it rains
It rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortunes
Fallin' all over town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
For you and me

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully
To the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost
Oh, thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know

When dawn comes to touch my purple haze
And evening's drowsiness to carry me away
I know once again that there is nothing we can save
So I'll pack up my things, I'll be on my way
Yes, here I go again
Off down the road again
Thinking thoughts of days gone by
Here I am again
Singing my songs again
Thinking and dreaming
Thoughts of you and I

Senorita Nina
From Argentina
Knew all the answers
Although her relatives and friends were perfect dancers,
She swore she'd never dance a step until she died.
She said she'd seen too many movies
And all they prove is
Too idiotic
They all insist that South America's exotic
Whereas it couldn't be more boring if it tried.

She declined to Begin the Beguine when they besought her to
And in language profane and obscene
She cursed the man who taught her to
She cursed Cole Porter too.
etc. etc.

Thank you Sir Noel!

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I have
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, she's worst

If she’s a sunny day I’m a hurricane
if she’s a firework I’m a grenade
and she’ll give you what you ask her to
but I would have given you the Moon
I would have given you the moon
I would have given you the moon
She’s calm, she has such a pretty voice
with eyes as bright as the first snowfall
she’s strong, she’s the perfect choice
so how could you love her
if you’ve ever loved me at all

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar
Dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away

Blown there by a wind beam
Who searches for the moonbeam
Who was last seen
Looking at the tracks
Of the careless wind beam
Or moving to the clacks
Of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides

Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Please don't tell them which train I'm on
So they won't know which route I've gone

When I die just bury me deep
Down at the foot of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old number nine
As she goes roaring by

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have
In your mind
I'll show them to you
And you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay,
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day
Let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile

Is this a game you're playin'
I don't understand what's goin' on
I can't see through your frown
First you're up then you're down
You're keepin' me from someone
I want to know
But I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
Yes, I need you tonight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay with me 'til dawn
It's the same old situation
Every word so finely placed
Runnin' around
My concentration
Is the feelin' that I've just got to
Break out and say

I don't care if you hurt me some more
I don't care if you even the score
You can knock me and I dont care
You can mock me and I do to care
You can rock me just about anywhere
It's alright

Cause you're all I got tonight
You're all I got tonight
You're all I got tonight
I need you tonight
Indeed you tonight

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said, "Hey, what is this, now baby?", maybe
Maybe she's in need of a kiss
I said, "Hey, what's your name baby?
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate"
Ow!
All right now, baby, it's all right now
All right now, baby, it's all right now

She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of angels sigh

Hello I love you
Won't you tell me your name
Hello I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello I love you
Won't you tell me your name
Hello I love you
Let me jump in your game

She holds her head up high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song

And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down, you can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry, you can make it
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head up, woman
Hold your head high

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own 2 feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fkd up as it all may seem
The consequences that are rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been awhile
Though I think I made you smile
I been singin' my song
Thinkin' I was wrong
But now I know
You know it takes so long
Though you're feelin' strong
And you gave me a sign
Made me feel like going on

I, I don't have to worry
You don't have to care
I don't have to worry
Cause' you will always be there

Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
And you said you was never intending
To break up our scene this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?

My makeup is dry and it clags 'round my chin
I'm drowning my sorrows in whiskey and gin
The lion tamers whip doesn't crack anymore
The lions they won't fight and the tigers won't roar

So, let's go and drink to the death of a clown
Won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown

Don't you love farce?
My fault I feel
I thought you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns

What a surprise
Who could forsee
I've come to feel about you
What you felt for me
Why only now when I see
That you drifted away
What a surprise
What a cliche

Isn't it rich
Isn't it queen
Losing my timing
This late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earth
There were clowns and elephants, dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what, but when it was all over
I said to myself, "Is that all there is to the circus?"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

They'll love us, won't they?
They feed us, don't they?
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere?
It's just amazing how fair people can be
Oh, who needs money
When you're funny?
The great attraction everywhere
Will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear
It's Simon Smith and the amazing dancing bear
