NO DICE - 1971

I CAN'T TAKE IT (Pete Ham) Just give me five so I can step outside Or even give me three and I'll be satisified But if you give me none at all You're going to see me climb that wall And you know you're going to see me fall I can't take it Take all the nights that a man can give And make all the days so a man can live But if you take up every hour You know you're gonna suck my power And you know you're gonna leave me sour I can't take it I can't take it I can't take it anymore I can't take it Place a lock upon my door Give me all your money in a dark brown place You've even got my soul in a dark brown case But baby can't you see outside You know you got my finger tight And you know you're gonna hurt my pride I can't take it I can't take it I can't take it anymore I can't take it Place a lock upon my door I DON'T MIND (Tom Evans / Joey Molland) Birds sing and doorbells ring in answer People say it's a lovely day outside I don't mind I've got my way of living Even if it's only for the ride I don't mind if people call me lazy I could say it's only for the fun step inside and see if I can make you After all it's only just begun You don't know me What's on my mind You can show me But I can find These days alright it's easy Making time and making rhymes for you I don't mind I got my way of giving even if it's all I ever do Step inside and see if I can make you Even if it's only for the ride You don't know me What's on my mind You can show me But I can find LOVE ME DO (Joey Molland) Honey don't you know I love you Give you all I can and do Everything I tried to help her;

never hear them calling her name They just know where they've been You never hear them holler The tears no longer come She reads a daily book of her past That shows of everyone Greys that show in her hair Can't be but don't seem to care She locks the door And there's no one there She sees a daytime stroller Walked from the night before And though she paints a smile on her face He won't be back no more Shes got so Saint to follow Shes got no place to go Too proud to ask an old friend for help Too proud to let them know Greys that show in her hair Can't be but don't seem to care She locks the door And there's no one there Nobodys gonna help you now NO MATTER WHAT (Pete Ham) No matter what you are I will always be with you Doesn't matter what you do girl Ooh girl, with you No matter what you do I will always be around Won't you tell me what you found girl Ooh girl, won't you Knock down the old grey wall Be a part of it all Nothing to say Nothing to see Nothing to do If you would give me all 'Cause I would give it to you Nothing would be Nothing would be Nothing would be No matter where you go There will always be a place Can't you see it in my face girl Ooh girl, won't you Knock down the old grey wall Be a part of it all Nothing to say Nothing to see Nothing to do If you would give me all 'Cause I would give it to you Nothing would be Nothing would be Nothing would be No matter what you are I will always be with you Doesn't matter what you do girl Ooh girl, with you Ooh girl You girl Won't you Ooh girl You girl Won't you WITHOUT YOU (Tom Evans / 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 story goes You always smile but in you eyes your sorrow shows Yes it shows Well I can't forget tomorrow When I think of all the sorrow I had you there And then I let you go And now it's only fair that I should let you know What you should know I can't live If living is without you I can't live Can't give any more I can't live If living is without you I can't live Can't give any more Well I can't forget this evening And your face when you were leaving But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in you eyes your sorrow shows Yes it shows I can't live If living is without you I can't live Can't give any more I can't live If living is without you I can't live Can't give any more BLODWYN (Pete Ham) I put away the knife The chisel and the saw I've locked away my life Behind this old oak door To make a simple spoon A token of my love In hope that maybe soon It's me you're thinking of Take my spoon Blodwyn Make it soon Blodwyn It's bad enough The way I feel today Take my spoon Blodwyn Make it soon Blodwyn Before some other spoon takes you away My life may not be long Cause working down below For so much can go wrong But what else do I know Take these precious years Make them precious too And say you'll take from me What I will give to you Take my spoon Blodwyn Make it soon Blodwyn It's bad enough The way I feel today Take my spoon Blodwyn Make it soon Blodwyn Before some other spoon takes you away Take my spoon Blodwyn Make it soon Blodwyn It's bad enough The way I feel today Take my spoon Blodwyn Make it soon Blodwyn Before some other spoon takes you away BETTER DAYS (Tom Evans / Joey Molland) I'm just a good boy Working hard to get my pay A little time, a little trouble Better days I see no reason As for why it cannot be A little time, a little trouble Better days You bury your head in the things you said that's fine The days go by and you know it's getting dark at nine You take all you want But you take away what's mine We can make it better Baby so much better all the time I'm just a good boy Lookin' hard to see my way A little time, a little trouble Better days I see no reason As for why it cannot be A little time, a little trouble Better days You bury your head in the things you said that's fine The days go by and you know it's getting dark at nine You take all you want But you take away what's mine We can make it better Baby so much better all the time I'm just a good boy Lookin' hard to see my way A little time, a little trouble Better days IT HAD TO BE (Mike Gibbins) It had to be Don't look back You're older Take it from me The love you have Is stronger And in your eyes I see myself I want from you what you want to be And you know The love you have is stronger It had to be Don't look back You're older And in your eyes I see myself I want from you what you want to be And you know WATFORD JOHN (Tom Evans / Pete
