BADFINGER - 1974
 
I MISS YOU
(Pete Ham)
Though you've been gone for just a week
It makes me feel so sad and weak
Baby, come back
I miss you
And though before I didn't cry
Now my eyes are never dry
And a thousand jesters
Couldn't make me smile
I miss you, I miss you
And now I know that I was wrong
But it's too late for now you're gone
Baby, come back
I miss you
And though our times were good and bad
Now you're gone I'm always sad
And a thousand jesters
Couldn't make me smile
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you
 
SHINE ON
(Tom Evans / Pete Ham)
Shine on, shine on me
All I know is now
I want you close to me
I can't really tell you
What the futures gonna be
Just for now, little lady
Shine on me
Lean on, lean on me
Something tells me
That's the way its gotta be
I can't really show you
What the futures gonna be
Just for now, little lady
Lean on me
To fall in love with love
Was maybe just a fantasy
And promises we made
Could be insane
Don't think of tomorrow
Yesterday is past
And if we could
You know we could make it last
Drink on, drink on me
Slip and slide
So I'll forget reality
I can't really say
If I'll come on and get so free
But just for now, little lady
Drink on me
To fall in love with love
Was maybe just a fantasy
And promises we made
Could be insane
Don't think of tomorrow
Yesterday is past
And if we could
You know we could make it last
Shine on, shine on me
All I know is now
I want you close to me
I can't really tell you
What the futures gonna be
Just for now, little lady
Shine on me
 
LOVE IS EASY
(Joey Molland)
All that I needed was your smile
Sayin' all right, I don't mind
All that I wanted was my chance
Maybe I could learn to dance
Love is easy, love is strange
Different people, different games
People, people, love a lot
Fell the love inside your heart
Love is easy, easy
When you open up your heart
I said easy, easy
When you know you'll never part
Love is easy, love is strange
Different people, different games
People, people, love a lot
Fell the love inside your heart
Love is, love is easy, so easy
When you open up your heart
Easy, easy
When you know you'll never part
I said easy, Lord, easy
When you open up your heart
I said easy, easy
When you know you'll never part
I said easy, easy
 
SONG FOR A LOST FRIEND
(Pete Ham)
You had a dream
You know you dreamt so much
You had a dream
You know it meant so much
You're just a victim
Of the circumstance
I mean what else could you do
You saw your dream
And you just took a chance
And for a while your dream came true
Would could you do
You had a goal
You know you aimed so high
You had a soul
You knew you had to try
You're just a victim
Of the time of day
No matter what you say or do
You saw your dream
And you just took a play
And for a while your dream came true
What could you do, what could you do
You're just a victim
Of the circumstance
I mean what else could you do
You saw your dream
And you just took a chance
And for a while your dream came true
Would could you do
What could you do
 
WHY DON'T WE TALK
(Tom Evans)
Why don't we talk
Why don't we talk about it
Why don't we talk
Why don't we talk about it
Why don't we, why don't we
Why don't we
If you know the way it feels
I know you'd try a little harder
We've been together now
Too long to part
Why don't we try
(Why don't we try)
Why don't we try
(Why don't we try)
Why don't we try
(Why don't we, why don't we try)
Just one more time
If you could understand
The way it is
Then we could talk about
The difference between us
And who knows, baby
We might still agree
Why don't we talk about it
(Why don't we talk)
Why don't we talk about it
(Why don't we talk)
Why don't we talk about it
(Why don't we, why don't we talk)
Just a one more time
Who knows baby
We might still agree
Why don't we talk about it
(Why don't we talk)
Why don't we talk about it
(Why don't we talk)
Why don't we talk about it
(Why don't we, why don't we)
(Why don't we talk)
(Why don't we talk)
(Why don't we, why don't we)
(Why don't we talk)
 
ISLAND
(Joey Molland)
When I love you, don't you feel it
I know it makes you happy
When I say all right
When I love you, do you feel it
When I hold you we're an island
You know it makes me happy
When you say all right
When I hold you we're an island
I know the road's a hard one
But it's easy when your not alone
So help me to remember, please
Lady, I believe we'll get home
When I love you, do you feel it
You know it makes me happy
When you say all right
When I love you, do you feel it
I know the road's a hard one
But it's easy when you're not alone
So help me to remember, please
Lady, I believe we'll get home
When I love you, do you feel it
You know it makes me happy
When you say all right
When I love you we're an island
I know the road's a hard one
But it's easy when you're not alone
Help me to remember
Lady, I believe we'll make it home
Get home
 
MATTED SPAM
(Pete Ham)
I feel a change comin' on
A frame of mind
That's held me down for too long
Tried to imprison my soul
Locked me outside
Of my own rock and roll
Can you feel it, oh yeah
Can you feel the change, it's comin'
Can you feel it, oh yeah
Can you feel the change
It's comin' my way, yeah
I see a light from the night
A distant star
But it's shining so bright
Guiding me out of myself
This new found love
Has got me under its spell
Can you see it, oh yeah
Can you see the light, it's comin'
Can you see it, oh yeah
Can you see the light
It's comin' today
For years and years
I've waited so long
I almost lost control
And days and nights
All seemed to be wrong
Without you, little Miss Rock and Roll
You know I tell you no lie
My little lady lift me up to the sky
She put the sop on my blues
She blow the dust
Off my old blue suede shoes
I feel a change comin' on
A frame of mind
That's held me down for too long
Tried to imprison my soul
Locked me outside
Of my own rock and roll
Can you feel it, oh yeah
Can you feel the change, it's comin'
Can you feel it, oh yeah
Can you feel the change
It's comin' my way, yeah
Can you feel it, oh yeah
Can you feel the change, it's comin'
Can you feel it, oh yeah
Can you feel the change
It's comin' today
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel the light
Can you see the light
Can you see the light
Can you see the light
 
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE
(Tom Evans)
Someone give you their heart
But you still throw it all away
Knowing the past is a part
Part of what you are today
We all know you have your troubles
We all know you have your days
What is love, you can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here
Where do you go from here
Where do you go from here
Someone showed you the way
To be ready to see
That the game had been played
Losers had lost
And the winners were free
We all know you have your troubles
We all know you have your ways
What is love, you can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here
Where do you go from here
Where do you go from here
We all know you have your troubles
We all know you have your days
What is love, you can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here
Where do you go from here
Where do you go from here
 
MY HEART GOES OUT
(Mike Gibbins)
I wanna tell you
How much I need you now
I wanna show you what love can do
CAn you take me like I am
Loving you now can be sad
I can remember times we have had
And for you now
My heart goes out once again
You turn me down, I wonder why
You turn away with sunken eyes
I see nothing but the best
I imagine all the rest coming true
I wanna touch you
I wann be with you now
I wanna show you what love can do
I can take you like a man
Loving you now can be sad
I can remember times we have had
And for you now
My heart goes out once again
You turn me down, I wonder why
You turn away with sunken eyes
I see nothing but the best
I imagine all the rest coming true
And for you now my heart goes out
And for you now
my heart goes out
Once again
 
LONELY YOU
(Pete Ham)
When I look into your tearful eyes
I don't know what to do
And though you say that I don't realize
I sympathize with you
Lonely you, only you, yes I do
Lonely you, only you, lonely you
When I ask you just to be my friend
I want to lend a hand
But if we get too close it's sure to end
Oh can't you understand
Lonely you, only you, yes it will
Lonely you, only you, lonely
You will really need a friend
And friends are hard to find
And harder still to keep
Lonely you, lonely me
Lonely you, only you, yes it will
Lonely you, only you, lonely you
Lonely you, lonely you
 
GIVE IT UP
(Joey Molland)
We live in hope of love
And wait to die
And sadness all around us
Waits for crying
And feelings
That once meant so much
Are left to dry and turn to dust
And ashes
We learn to wheel and deal
And say goodbye
And madness all around us
Makes for dyin'
Young deceivers soon turn old
And left to die amongst their gold
And cash it
Give it up or we live just to die
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time
(Give it up)
Give it up, save yourself
Give it up (Give it up)
Give it up (Give it up)
We drive a million miles to see the sun
Hoping we are not too late for saving
The Lord will smile on you today
And give you love that you can trade
For matches and TV and movie stars
And driving cars as cashes
Give it up or we live just to die
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time
(Give it up)
Give it up, save yourself
Give it up (Give it up)
Give it up (Give it up)
Give it up
 
ANDY NORRIS
(Joey Molland)
I've run out of money, run out of good
Run out of reasons and misunderstood
Run out of rhythm
Right out of feelings
And right out of time
Living in limbo, hanging around
Head on the ceiling
And mind in the clouds
Blind is the morning
But deaf is the night
Comes without warning
And leaves me in fright
I've been saving all my money, yeah
For the rainy days
I'm packing up my suitcase
Make it pay
I've run out of patience
I've run out of lies
Run out of spaces and nowhere to hide
Living and loving is easy to get
But living is something
We havent' tried yet, yeah
I've been saving all my money, yeah
For the rainy days
I'm packing up my suitcase
Make it pay
I've run out of money, run out of good
Run out of reasons and misunderstood
Run out of rhythm
Right out of feelings
And right out of time
Blind is the morning
But deaf is the night
Comes without warning
And leaves me in fright
I've been saving all my money, yeah
For the rainy days
I'm packing up my suitcase
Make it pay
