SOMETIMES (Joey Molland) Sometimes I'm only waiting for your smile Sometimes I'll only wait a while Sometimes the feeling makes me wanna cry Tell me why Sometimes I'm fooling playing for my time Sometimes the days are always fine Sometimes a copper wants me on a line It's a crime It's always tomorrow Ain't no sorrow and pain There's always a reason Always believe in my soul It's always tomorrow Ain't no sorrow and pain There's always a reason Always believe in my soul Sometimes I'm only waiting for your smile Sometimes I'll only wait a while Sometimes the feeling makes me wanna cry Tell me why 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 BLIND OWL (Tom Evans) Lies, ties, mystical disguise Hang it up Get up on the road Build driven skills Weeping whiper-whils Too much going 'round to get high Look out for the blind owl You can only find that you were wrong No one else around me Ever loved me like you do So I'll be strong Look out for the blind owl You can only find that you were wrong No one else around me Ever loved me like you do So I'll be strong Daze, praise, interviewer's maze Play the road Sell your soul Come your self And you know who's never like UUU never bli-i-ind 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 CONSTITUTION (Joey Molland) I could sing the blues Anyway I choose If I wanted I could turn you 'round I could bring you down If I wanted But it's not my constitution It's not my way of life You know I'm just a lover for my wife I could join a race I could paint my face If I wanted I could be a queen But it's not my scene 'Cause I tried it But it's not my constitution It's not my way of life You know I'm just a lover for my wife I could sing the blues Anyway I choose If I wanted I could turn you 'round I could bring you down If I wanted But it's not my constitution It's not my way of life You know I'm just a lover for my wife BABY BLUE (Pete Ham) I guess I got what I deserved Kept you waiting there to long my love All that time without a word Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget That I'd regret The special love I had for you My baby blue All those days become so long Did you really think I'd do you wrong Dixie when I let you go Thought you'd realize that I would know I would show The special love I have for you My baby blue What can I do What can I say 'Cept I want you by my side How can I show you Show me the way Don't you know the times I tried Guess that's all I have to say 'Cept the feeling just grows stronger every day Just one thing before I go Take good care baby Let me know Let it grow The special love you had for me My Dixie dear THE NAME OF THE GAME (Pete Ham) I saw the railway master, and I looked him in the eye Said "Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die?" He said "Not me sir, I could not care, in fact I would not try For protest would not take me far it's different me not being a star." I lock my feelings in a jar, until another day Oh comfort me dear brother, won't you tell me what you know For somewhere in this paper world is a place where I can go Oh long-awaited mother, is it time to make a show? And take your babies to your breasts you know we never passed the test And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on. Oh, don't refuse me if you choose me, you'll follow my shame No, don't confuse me for I know it's the name of the game I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun Said "You can see quite clearly now the things that we have done We've burned your sacred willow and our battles, we have won. But did we get so very far? It's different me not being a star." I lock my feelings in a jar, until they go away Oh, don't refuse me if you choose me, you'll follow my shame No, don't confuse me for I know it's the name of the game DAY AFTER DAY (Pete Ham) I remember finding out about you Everyday my mind is all around you Looking out from my lonely room, day after day Bring it home baby make it soon I give my love to you I remember holding you while you sleep Everyday I feel the tears that you weep Looking out from my lonely gloom, day after day Bring it home baby make it soon I give my love to you Looking out from my lonely room, day after day Bring it home baby make it soon I give my love to you I remember finding out about you Everyday my mind is all around you Looking out from my lonely room, day after day Bring it home baby make it soon I give my love to you TIMELESS (Pete Ham) We are yesterday We are today We are tomorrow We are timeless We are then We are now We are the future We are timeless We are the sorrow We are the pain We are the sunshine We are rain We are love We are hate We are the future We are timeless Whatever we see Where ever we go It's perfectly clear How little we know How can we look And not even see How can we live And not even be We are the comfort We are the shame We are forgiveness We are blame We are kind We are kill Are we the future Are we timeless 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
