IF IT'S LOVE (1969)
(Pete Ham)
Well I can't forget this evening and your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the party goe
You always smile, but in your eyes the sorrow shows, mm it shows
Well I can't forget tomorrow when I think of all my sorrow
I had you there and then I let you go
            And now it's only fair that I should let you know - I let you know
If it's love that you need
Hmm
If it's love
 
NO GOOD AT ALL (1971)
(Tom Evans)
Don't let your mother see you rock
Don't let your mother see you roll
Don't let your mother hear you knocking
Don't let your mother see you come
Don't ever let her see you bobbing your head
Do you no good at all
Don't let your brother put you down
Don't let your brother put you on
Don't let your brother hear you parkin'
Don't let your brother see you come
Don't ever let her keep you out of your head
Do you no good at all
 
SING FOR THE SONG (1971)
(Tom Evans)
Words won't come together
And they're very hard to mean
Piece of mind is all I have to win
? it doesn't matter
Just as long as I can sing
Get myself together for the song
And we can all sing
Sing for the song
And we'll all bring
Bring it along
Yes we'll all sing
Sing for the song
And we'll al bring
Bring it along
Now I get to feelin'
That it's maybe just a dream
Maybe just another foolish game
As long as we are singing
Then we have no time to play
Have no time for bringin' down on friends
And we can all sing
Sing for the song
And we'll all bring
Bring it along
Yes we'll all sing
Sing for the song
And we'll al bring
Bring it along
And we can all sing
Sing for the song
And we'll all bring
Bring it along
Yes we'll all sing
Sing for the song
And we'll al bring
Bring it along
And we can all sing
Sing for the song
And we'll all bring
Bring it along
Yes we'll all sing
Sing for the song
And we'll al bring
Bring it along
 
BABY PLEASE (1971)
(Pete Ham / Mike Gibbins / Joey Molland)
She's a long tall skinny mini
Never says a word when she goes
She never tells you why
She's clever when she lets it show
She's a long long boney body
Everyday collector of dreams
But she never tells me why
She's tellin' us she loves to please
Stay
Baby stay
Play
Baby play
Would you please
She's the old soul, rock and roll
She's every kind of woman you see
She never tells me how
She's a devil when she has to be
She's an all night, treat you right
Answer to a lonely day
She never tells me why
She's clever when she always plays
Stay
Baby stay
Play
Baby play
Would you please
Stay
Baby stay
Play
Baby play
Would you please
 
DREAMING (1972)
(Joey Molland)
Thought I saw a lady I knew some time before
But I was only dreaming, what's it for?
Thought I was a preacher, speaking to the floor
But I was only dreaming, what's the score?
I was only dreaming, what's it for?
I was only dreaming, what's the score?
Thought I was a robber, standing at my door
Turns out to be a lady from before
I was only dreaming, what's the score?
Was only dreaming, what's it for?
Was only dreaming, what's the score?
Was only dreaming, what's it for?
Thought I saw a robber standing at my door
Turns out to be a lady
Yes, I saw a lady
Ooh, I saw a lady from before
Lady, lady, lady
 
ROCK'N'ROLL (1972)
(Tom Evans)
Thought I was a man, when I was a man
Thought I was a goner
Get it down, dig on rock 'n' roll
Talk about love, give it a try
Talk about a camera, my my my
Get it down, dig on rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll, it's in my blood
Rock 'n' roll, feel it good
Get it down
Dig it, rock 'n' roll
Rock, it do me good
Rock 'n' roll, so easy to play
Get it down, dig on rock 'n' roll
I gotta get it down, dig on rock 'n' roll
Oh, get it down. dig it, rock 'n' roll
 
PIANO RED (1972)

In the underground
Where they play all ?

He don't need no rhythym band
Well I work all day
For the price of a t-bone steak
Well I work all day
For the price of a t-bone steak

Well he drive all year
And he push that mojo down
Well he drive all year

But he never understood
 
HE'S A REGULAR (1972)

Give him all he wants
Anything he wants
Lady, he's a regular
Give it all for free
Leave the bill for me to pay
Help him all you can
Anyway you can
Lady, he's a regular
If you do it right
You'll be coming home tonight
Lady have you ever been here (once or twice)
You know I'm always in here (is it nice)
And any time your passive
Please feel free

I WON'T FORGET YOU
(Bob Jackson)
I believed in what we had
And I knew there were better things yet to come to be done
It makes me sad
When I think of me and you
I can't forget the little things that we said go through my head
It makes me blue
I won't forget you
How could I ever let you down?
I won't forget you
I won't forget you
How could I ever turn around?
Break!
I won't forget you
You did your best, you played your part
Those who saw remember the way I do
It was you that touched my heart
When I knew that you were gone, it made me cry, I nearly died
How could you ever think that love could let you down?
Love here inside, inside
I believed in what we had
And I knew there were better things yet to come to be done
It makes me sad
I won't forget you
I won't forget you
Oh no
How could I ever let you down?
I won't forget you
I won't forget you
How could I ever turn around?
I won't forget you
Oh no, no no no
(I won't forget you)
(I won't forget you)
 
I'VE SEEN A NEW DAY (1982)
(Bob Jackson)
I've seen a new chance
I've seen a way to change my mind
I've learned a new dance
No need to run, I'll keep in time
I've seen a new way, a new day
It's changed my mind
I waited so long
I was blind, I couldn't see
I heard a new song
And now I've finally found the key
I've seen a new way, a new day
Has set me free
I was lost, I was searching 'round
I was tired, I was falling do
But now I feel that better days have come
I saw the light, saw a better day
Saw the truth, saw a better way
But now I've got the bad times on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run!
I've seen a new chance
I've seen a way to change my mind
I've learned a new dance
No need to run, I'll keep in time
I've seen a new way, a new day
It's changed my mind
I was lost, I was searching 'round
I was tired, I was falling down
But now I feel that better days have come
I saw the light, saw a better day
Saw the truth, saw a better way
But now I've got the bad times on the run
On the run, on the run, on the run!
(New way)
I've seen a new way (new day)
