To Do With Love (T. Hicks - K. Lynch)

Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name,
or where she's been, or where she came from.
The last time I found love it only brought the pain.
The problems almost took me over.

I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for pa
and fetching water
And that's got nothing at all, no that's got nothing at all,
to do with love.

Next time I meet a girl
I won't tell her my name
or where I've been
or where I came from.

I'll take a hold of her
and love her just the same.
No need to mention past acquaintances.

I just want someone to love me
and someone to like the presents
that I bought her.
'Cause that's got something to do,
yes, that's got something to do,
to do with love.

Each girl I meet comes up stronger
and I can't take it all much longer.
No, I can't no.

Next time I meet a girl
I won't tell her my name
or where I've been
or where I came from.

I'll take a hold of her
and love her just the same.
No need to mention past acquaintances.

I just want someone to love me
and someone to like the presents
that I bought her.
'Cause that's got something to do,
yes, that's got something to do,
to do with love.

Gasoline Alley Bred (R. Cook - A. Greenaway - T. Macaulay)

Woman, get your head out of curlers.
Time aget your butt out of bed.
Get down your hats and your baggage, my child.
Going back home,
getting back to the homestead.

I'm a-gonna heat me some water,
put a shine upon my shoes.
Telephone my ma, Keep the room above Joe's
'Cause we're coming back,
coming back to the homestead.
Everything is packed,
getting back to the homestead.
This time, this time we'll stay, baby.

I know that we could have made it;
we had ideas in our heads.
And I wish somehow
we could have saved it
but we're Gasoline Alley bred.
Yet the years haven't really been wasted,
and I know it in my head.
We did good for the life that we've tasted
'cause we're Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley bred

Woman, you can really believe it,
I did everything a man could do.
Breaking my back just to make us a dime.
That won't mean a damn when no one wants to know you.

Woman, I know how you're feeling.
I've seen the hurt upon your face.
How many time do you think that I've cried?
Knowing every day that your heart was getting broken,
holdin' back your pride til you were nearly chokin'
Ooh let's get away, baby.

I know that we could have made it;
we had ideas in our heads.
And I wish somehow we could have saved it
but we're Gasoline Alley bred.
Yet the years haven't really been wasted,
and I know it in my head.
We did good for the life that we've tasted
'cause we're Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley bred

Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred
Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred
Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (B. Scott - B. Russell)

The road is long
with a many and winding turn
that leads us to who knows where,
who know where.
But I'm strong,
strong enough to carry him.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
So on we go.

His welfare is of my concern.
No burden is he to bear,
we'll get there.
For I know
he would not encumber me.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

If I am laden at all,
I am laden with sadness
that everyone's heart
isn't filled with the gladness
of love for one another.

It's a long, long road
from which there is no return.
While we're on the way to there,
why not share?
And the load
doesn't weigh me down at all.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

He's my brother.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
He ain't heavy.

Stop Stop Stop (A. Clarke - T. Hicks - G. Nash)

See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
entering through the door.
Ruby glistening from her navel.
Shimmering around the floor.

Bells on feet go ting-a-ling-linging
going through my head.
Sweat is falling just-a like tear drops,
running from her head.

Now she's dancing, going through the movements,
swaying to and fro.
Body moving, bringing back a memory,
thoughts of long ago.

Blood is rushing, temperature is rising,
Sweating from my brow.
Like a snake, her body fascinates me,
I can't look away now.

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing.
Give me time to breathe.
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
or I'll have to leave.

Now she's moving all around the tables.
Luring all in sight.
But I know that she cannot see me,
hidden by the light.

Closer, closer, she is getting nearer.
Soon she'll be in reach.
As I enter into a spotlight,
she stands lost for speech.

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing.
Give me time to breathe.
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
or I'll have to leave.

Now I hold her, people are staring,
don't know what to think.
And we struggle, knocking over tables,
spilling all the drinks.

Can't they understand that I want her,
happens every week.
Heavy hand upon my collar
throws me in the street.

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing.
Give me time to breathe.
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
or I'll have to leave.

Little Thing Like Love (A. Clarke - T. Macaulay)

Took you from Dakota from the Black Hills to the plains.
I brought you up a lady and the right way to behave.
Turned my pockets inside-out and not a dime was saved,
and now you're trying to decide whether to go or stay.

Don't let a little thing like love keep on bringing you down, my babe,
or ever change the plans you made.
Don't let a little thing like tears keep on turning you 'round, my babe.
You're old enough to change your ways.
And if you're feeling all run down, you look for the brighter lights uptown.
Don't let a little thing like me ever stand in your way.

Took you on a fast train across the Rio Grande,
a Mexicano wedding with a Tijuana band.
You blew my whole life savings and all the gold I'd panned.
So if you're trying to find a way to say your sweet goodbyes,

You're old enough to change your ways.
And if you're feeling all run down,
you look for the right to light the town.
Don't let a little thing like me ever stand in your way.
Don't let a little thing like love.

I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top (G. Fletcher - D. Flett)

And every time I get to thinking.
With every thought of you,
I wanna shout aloud.
And then I think about
the love I had inside me
how you brought what's inside out.

So, now love's made it to the outside.
I wanna to tell the world
of everything I've found.
Somehow your love released
a spring wound up inside me.
You've turned my living upside-down.

And I can't tell the bottom from the top.
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy, is it bright?
Is it day, or is it night?
Am I wrong, or am I right?
And is it real?

Tell me where you learned the magic.
The spell you used the day you made me fall.
Baby, now I know that love is no illusion.
I'm upside-down but ten feet tall.

And I can't tell the bottom from the top.
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy, is it bright?
Is it day, or is it night?
Am I wrong, or am I right?
And is it real?

On and on, I drifted with the tide.
I didn't know that love could move me so.
You fill my life with love and much more besides,
and you showed me which way to go.

And I can't tell the bottom from the top.
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy, is it bright?
Is it day, or is it night?
Am I wrong, or am I right?
And is it real?

The Air That I Breathe (A. Hammond - M. Hazelwood)

If I could make a wish,
I think I'd pass.
Can't think of anything I need -
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound,
nothing to eat, no books to read.

Making love with you
has left me peaceful, warm, and tired.
What more could I ask?
There's nothing left to be desired.
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe,
yes, to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe.

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe,
yes, to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe.
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe,
yes, to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe,
and, to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe,
yes, to love you.

Dandelion Wine (T. Hicks)

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine.
What else can I do?
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through.

Do I love you?
You can bet your life that I do-do-do.
Do I love you?
I would drink my wine from your shoe-shoe-shoe.
Stoned all the time on dandelion wine.
It's all down to on you.
I've been this way everyday
I'm thinking of you.
Do I love you?
You can bet your life that I do-do-do.
Do I love you?
I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe.
Do I love you?
You can bet your life that I do-do-do.
Do I love you?
I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe.
Stoned all the time on dandelion wine.
What else can I do?
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through.
Stoned all the time on dandelion wine.
What else can I do?
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through.
Stoned all the time ...

Oriental Sadness (A. Clarke - T. Hicks - G. Nash)

How soon tears begin to tumble
from her laughing eyes.
She's been talking to somebody
who told her lies, (She'll never trust in anybody no more)
who told her lies. (She'll never trust in anybody no more)

How can I begin to reach her?
Let her know the truth
what that someone has been saying?
Is only lies, (She'll never trust in anybody no more)
it's only lies. (She'll never trust in anybody no more)

How could she think that I
would take advantage of a girl like her?
How could she think that I
would sacrifice all I have felt for her,
would sacrifice all I have felt for her?

Like a flower she is fading.
Soon she'll wilt and die
if she doesn't get the sunlight
that I can give, (She'll never trust in anybody no more)
that I can give. (She'll never trust in anybody no more)

How could she think that I
would take advantage of a girl like her?
How could she think that I
would sacrifice all I have felt for her,
would sacrifice all I have felt for her?

Like a flower she is fading.
Soon she'll wilt and die
if she doesn't get the sunlight
that I can give, (She'll never trust in anybody no more)
that I can give. (She'll never trust in anybody no more)

I'm Alive (C. Ballard Jr.)

Did you ever see a man with no heart?
Baby, that was me.
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
'til you set me free.

Now I can breathe,
I can see,
I can touch,
I can feel,
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss.
You give me all the things I've ever missed.
I've never felt like this.
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive.
I used to think that I was living.
Baby, I was wrong.

No, I never knew a thing about living
'til you came along.
Now I can breathe,
I can see,
I can touch,
I can feel,
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss.
You give me all the things I've ever missed.
I've never felt like this.
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive.

Now I can breathe,
I can see,
I can touch,
I can feel,
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss.
You give me all the love I've ever missed.
I've never felt like this.
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive. I'm alive, I'm alive.
