I tried
But I could not find a way
Looking back
All I did was look away
Next time is the best time
We all know
But if there is no next time
Where to go?

She’s
The sweetest queen
I ever seen
CPL 593H
See here she comes
See what I mean
CPL 593H
I could talk talk talk talk talk
Myself to death
But I believe I would only
Waste my breath

You’ve got me girl
On the runaround runaround
Got me all around town
You’ve got me girl
On the runaround
And it’s getting me down

Lady,
If you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I’m gonna be your only

Searching
At the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that I’ll get you

I’ll find some
Way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then I’ll move up close to you

I’ll use you
And I’ll confuse you
And then I’ll lose you
Still you won’t suspect me

If there is something
That I might find
Look around corners where you
Try to find peace of mind
I say, where would you go
If you were me
Try to keep a straight course
Not easy

Somebody special
Looking at me
A certain reaction we find
What should it try to be?
I mean, if there are many
Meaning the same
Being specific
It’s just a game

I would do anything for you
I would climb mountains
I would swim all the oceans blue

I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share

I would put roses round our door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score

Shake your head girl
With your ponytail
Takes me right back
When you were young

Threw your precious gifts
Into the air
Watched them fall down
When you were young

Lift up your feet
And put them on the ground
You used to walk upon
When you were young

Lift up your feet
And put them on the ground
The hills were higher
When you were young

Lift up your feet
And put them on the ground
The trees were taller
When you were young

Lift up your feet
And put them on the ground
The grass was greener
When you were young

Lift up your feet
And put them on the ground
You used to walk upon
When you were young

Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed, I’ll take it
To Robert E. Lee I’ll show it
I hope and pray he don’t blow it, ’cause
We’ve been around a long time
Just try try try try tryin’ to make make the big time

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six day wonder
But don’t you throw don’t you throw my pride aside besides
What’s real and make believe?
Baby Jane’s in Acapulco, we are flying down to Rio

Throw me a line, I’m sinking fast
Clutching at straws, can’t make it
Havana sound we’re trying
A hard edge, a hipster jiving, ohh
Last picture show’s down the drive-in
You’re so sheer, you’re so chic, teenage rebel of the week

Flavours of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the Cha-Cha through till sunrise
Opens up exclusive doors, oh wow!
Just like flamingoes look the same
So me and you, just we two, got to search for something new

Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures living
Your death could not kill our love for you

Take two people, romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder

Here’s looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here’s looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time
Since we’re together
Now I hope it’s forever

Ideal love flies away night
White jacket, black tie, wings too
You gave her away to the hero

Words don’t express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping’s the lesson

Here’s looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here’s looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Fade away never

I dreamed last night
About your face
Your star shone
All night

Over the moon
It shone brighter
Star shining
So bright

You were so pure
Not for this world
So gentle
And light

How could I hear
The stories
They told me
Not right

Too many times beautiful
Too many times sad
Too many times wonderful
Too bad

But when the party was over
And all was quiet and still
We walked together in the moonlight
And looked out over the calm lake
Hand in hand, the stars in our eyes

So in my dream
You still loved me
Gave time reason
Last night

But this was only life’s story
Made simple
That’s right

I never thought
I’d see you again
Where have you been
Until now?

Well how are you
How have you been?
It’s a long time
Since we last met

It seems like yesterday
When I first saw you
In your red dress, mine

How could I
Forget that day?
I know that time spent well
Is so rare

Would you believe
In what I do?
When the things
That I make
Are all for you

And in a while
I’ll come to you
Showing why
What I think
Will all come true

Well I’m sure I’ll love you all my life
And in the morning too
Everything you have is out of sight
But even I can see through you

Would you believe
In what I do?
When the things
That I make
Are all for you

I’ve been thinking now
For a long time
How to go my own separate way
It’s a shame to think
About yesterday
It’s a shame

We’ve been running round
In our present state
Hoping help will come from above
But even angels there
Made the same mistakes
In love

Now that we are lonely
Life seems to get hard
Alone
What a word
Lonely
Alone it makes me cry

Thought train set in motion
Wheels in and around
Express
Our emotion
Tracks up then it tracks down

At last the crimson chord cascades
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin

While destiny prepares to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realise their fate

Bizarre
You were the raven of October
Bizarre
I knew the sign you flew around
Bizarre
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I never thought I’d be a rover
I didn’t even look around
But now I know you’ve found another
So will someone please find me?

Give now the host his claret cup
And watch Madeira’s farewell drink
Note his reaction, acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think
