Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'.
You brought a guitar to punish your ma,
You didn't like school, and you
Know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.

(856 Posts)When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I'm so alone, my love without you
You're part of everything I do
When you come back, and you're beside me
These are the words I'll say to you
Welcome home, welcome
Come on in, and close the door
You've been gone, too long
Welcome, you're home once more
I thought of all the things I'd say to you
When you come back to me someday
When you are here and we're together
With all my heart you'll hear me say
Welcome home, welcome
Come on in, and close the door
You've been gone, too long
Welcome, you're home once more
I build a fence around you in a father's way
I try to feel what it is you're going through
Cause I've played many ways
When you grow, how much will it take to slow you down…
Half the way?
Do my best to please you and I do what's right
I try to find each word that I'll say to you
When you come home tonight
And if so, how hard will we cry before our sound
Fades away?
Oh you gonna take me home tonight
Oh down by the red fire light
Oh you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin world go round
I've been singing with my band
Cross the water cross the land
I've seen every blue eyed flozzy on the way
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after awhile
Take me to them dirty ladies every time
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)
California dreaming ……..
Sitting in a park in Paris France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh but California
California I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
California I'm coming home
I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you California
Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Midwest farmers daughters
Really make you feel alright
And northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California girls
Well the old man passed me by
And he didn't hear me cry
I didn't know his name
And he didn't come again
The sun was coming out
And the kids began to shout
The dogs began to bark
In that lovely Paris park... OH!
In and out of the Red Balloon
Marry the farmers daughter
Sleepy heads in the afternoon
Callow la, callow la Vita
Well I'm the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day.
Well I'm the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day.
Keep everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way.
Dogs begin to bark
And the hounds began to howl.
Dogs begin to bark
The hounds began to howl.
Look out strange cat people
Yeah my rooster's on the prowl.
Aw, come on.
Dogs began to bark,
Ow, ow, ow! The hounds begin to howl.
Dogs begin to bark,
Ow, ow, ow! Oh, yeah...
Look out strange cat people
Yeah, he's on the prowl.
Yeah come on.
How much is that doggie in the window 🐶
The one with the wag curly tail
How much is that doggie in the window
I do hope that doggie’s for sale
Love for sale
Appetising young love for sale
If you want to buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
In their childish way
I know every type of love
Better far than they
If you want the thrill of love
I've been through the mill of love
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
I can feel your body
When I'm lying in my bed
Too much confusion
Going round through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
And when will I ever learn?
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, just go on home
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed,
Lay, lady, lay, lay while the night is still ahead.
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed.
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me
I know you've got somewhere to go
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
Sun ain't nearly on the rise
We still got the moon and stars above
Underneath the velvet skies
Love is all that matters, won't you stay with me?
Don't you ever leave
These arms are open all night
If you need someone to talk to
A hand to hold onto and it feels right
These arms are open all night
They're open all night
I know how you spent your time
Too many people know, you weren't alone
Your after hours followed you home
"Oh I heard", he said
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
I bet your wondering how I knew
Bout your plans to make me blue
With dome 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
Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind
Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me how want it to be
Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now, oh because
My loneliness is killing me (and I)
I must confess I still believe (still believe)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart your leaving
Baby I'm grieving
But if you want to leave take good care
I hope you have alot of nice things to wear
But then alot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by upon just a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child , girl
Where should I start
Disjointed heart
I've got no commitment to my own flesh and blood
Left all alone
Far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart
I keep it locked up inside
I cannot express to the point I've regressed
If anger's a gift, then I guess I've been blessed
I keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
It's too late to love me now
You have never shown me
It's too late to love me now
You don't even know me
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, Oh no no
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh no no
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes
Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wondering what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run, tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
A-can you still recall time we cried?
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
They say you've gotta meet this girl
She could be the one
Likes the same music as you
She's really smart and fun
Sometimes love comes easy
Sometimes there's work to do
If you wanna get to heaven
There's some dark clouds to get through
The day I realized you're not perfect
Was the best day of the rest of our lives
And all the times we cried were all worth it
'Cause the tears all turned to laughter in time
And all the aggravation was based on expectations
That you and I could never live up to
Let's just do the best we can
