Give it a whirl,
give it a try Why don't you sneak out down here and hide You're on
your own, you make your bed No time for wasting, just look ahead
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say You can't surprise him
anymore He's got a reputation that he don't look back Your poppa don't
mind at all
He's getting old, he's getting late It's soon tomorrow, so
celebrate Bring it out and go to town Before you're faking to settling
down
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say You can't
surprise him anymore He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
You're finding out, he's had the fun
And when you find out don't try to run And if you know then you'll be
gone But if you don't know it's still to come
Your poppa don't
mind what you do or say You can't surprise him anymore He talks
about his women and his old school's chap Your poppa don't mind at
all
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say You can't surprise
him anymore He don't believe in heaven like a good man should Your
poppa don't mind at all Your poppa don't mind at all Your poppa don't
mind at all
Travelled
Travelled the world in million
ways Catching the palm in familiar gaze Everyone lives by two hard
eyes There's no one with time to laugh or cry There's no one to tell us
what we're living for
And though I tried to be a good man I just
know that I'll be losing very soon And there are times and there are
motions When I do believe I'm going out of tune, oh
I've been
around a long, long while Looking for sun to make me smile But still
multiply their daily bread They're thinking their lives put times ahead It
must be a mighty funny way to feel
And though I tried to be a good
man I keep finding out there's nowhere to begin And so I think I'll go
on singing And in time I hope that we can all join in, oh
Rosie Had Everything Planned
Acting upon information received
Rosie had everything planned Stood in a garden with a shotgun in hand
What a woman
Whilst entertaining the headlines next day Rosie
would not be released If it was found that her man was deceased Silly
woman
Oh but Rosie, a girl with a strange kind of humor Stupidly
took in a rumour Making her think that she'd lost Double-crossed by a
man who was dear
Stood in the garden and shaking her head
Rosie could not understand Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand
Sad, sad woman
Oh but Rosie, how could a few words have made
her Certain that he had betrayed her Making her think that she'd
lost Double-crossed by a man who was still very near to her
Row
upon row of angel hair Rosie had everything planned Sure that the
people would not understand Sad, sad woman
Remember
I think it's funny, just a sad song He likes his money,
now you ain't got none So is it mighty strange Now that you are so
broke Don't try to make it man You haven't got a home
Remember when I was in trouble You put down the phone And
anywhere you go, you go alone
It was a crush change, the money sure
flew You had a flash name, imagine you're broke But now it's breaking
up there's no one near you Don't try for me to call Cause I won't hear
you
Remember when I was in trouble You put down the
phone And anywhere you go, you go alone
Remember when I was
in trouble You put down the phone And anywhere you go, you go
alone
Well, don't you sit around, start to move on Your life is
broken down, so get a new one And if you make it by and kiss the good
life Why don't you make it right Just look at this time
Remember when I was in trouble You put down the phone And
anywhere you go, you go alone
Forever
I will always
love you true forever Forever, I will always love you true Hope you
feel the same way too, forever Forever, I hope you feel the same way too
Want to spend my life with you forever Forever want to spend my life with
you
My life with you, my life with you, oh Life with you, my life
with you, oh
Love you till the day I die, yeah forever Forever love
you till the day I die So I'll sing this song to you forever Forever, I will
sing this song to you
Song to you, song to you Song for you, song
for you Song for you, song for you...
I really love you, I really
need you I'll always love you... I really love you, I think about
you...
Potter
The name is Potter, hi there I'm sure
getting hotter, mind there I told her quick she could see my pricked
cactus Back in the confines of my home She didn't say yes, but she
didn't say no So we're just gonna go get a cactus supper at home
Nigger in the woodpile, mind out Trigger as a docile, find out
Roll
up, roll up, come and see me, tickle me Sing me songs like you've never seen
before Roll out, old town, to my place in town It's a case of a pound
and a race to the bedroom door
Roll up, roll up, come and see me, tickle
me Sing me songs like you've never seen before Hold on, hold on, till
my place in town In the case of a pound and the race till the bedroom
door
Coming Home To See You
Now you're very much
like your mother And that's a natural fact But you couldn't look much
like your brother's wife Or anyone like that
And you don't look
much like your sister 'Cause she's all big and fat But don't breath a
word to your mean old dad 'Cause I'll be coming back
I'm coming
home to see you early in the morning I'll be around and on the first train
today I'm coming home to see you while day's dawning All aboard, all
aboard
Put on some fancy clothes and meet me at the station
Make sure I don't mistake you for your sister Jane Don't want to see you with
your goddamn relations That's all for now, I'll se you, ciao
Times Have Changed
Captain I am sorry that the ship should go
astray Letting the ocean have it's own way Lay me down to pass exam,
I'll pay for all my sins Pleading for mercy, my cancel begins
Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong For the battle was too long,
for me to bear I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast And I
notice there's at last a chance for me
In and out of tumor, and in another
mind Deeper the ocean, stronger the tide Stormy seas surround me, no
sails to keep me dry I prayed to you captain, but you heard not my
cry
Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong For the
battle was too long, for me to bear I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking
fast And I notice there's at last a chance for me
For me, for
my story Let me lie in peace I want to say I'm sorry now Then
I'll be on my way Then I'll be on my way Then I'll be on my
way
Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong For the
battle was too long, for me to bear I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking
fast And I notice there's at last a chance for me
Friend In Need
Hey buddy, I wanna talk to you I got a friend in need, a
friend indeed I hear you got a few friends too Living up the stairs,
selling their wears And they don't care, 'cause they don't know that
Oooh he's very lonely Oooh he's lost his one and only Woman that he's
ever had He sure feels bad, can you make him glad? Hey mister can
you help him out? Can you put him straight, before it gets to late And
show what it's all about
Hey mister where you got the dope?
Which way will it be, to pay the fee? I guess that you can see through me
So I'll be straight with you, I'll tell the truth Friend in need is just really
me
Aries
Alright, let's get the whole thing
cooking
I try to run in a different race But every time I seem to
lose faith Making it is hard, but taking is easy But I got to keep trying
to lessen my pace Oh, dubidaidai, dubidaidaidada...
I try to walk
down a city street I say hello to the people I meet They're walking their
way, thinking I'm crazy But I have so much trouble just keeping the
beat
Well my way of life is simple 'Cause I just do what I
please Whatever I was blessed with It wasn't a life of peace It's
all right, yeah, here she comes
Oh, maybe I'm just a country boy
The city life will bring me no joy Well it's bringing me down, it's making me
lonely You see I'm fooling with life and it ain't no toy
Well my
way of life is simple 'Cause I just do what I please And whenever I got
problems I just call upon Aries
