Bubblegum Heart

BUBBLEGUM HEART
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
She’s got a bubblegum heart
She’ll chew you up then throw you away
The taste only lasts awhile
The only way she can smile is on Beaujolais
You wanna love that’s forever
A liar you can trust
I have never been clever
Lust turns to dust
I put my faith on a roller
And my head in a vice
I kissed a controller
Listened to no ones advice
She’s got a bubblegum heart
She’ll chew you up then throw you away
The taste only lasts awhile
The only way she can smile is on Beaujolais
I should have done sooner
What I’m doing now
See her as a lampooner
And take a final bow
I should have hired a minder
I should have highered my sights
Now that I am behind her
I bet she still bites
I loved a book by its cover
Then found nothing inside
I should have looked at her mother
She never took the same ride
Well I’d rather be lonely
I would rather be blue
Than try to magic blood from a stone
Yeah... this one’s for you!
Still a lot to learn
A lot to see
Time’s too short to burn
Set yourself free if you’re like me
Did you know the grapes of Beaujolais have a very thin skin
It’s time with us is over in the clink
of a cheer
It is not one to hold dear
For it will not mature or indeed improve with age. Far from it!
My darling you are what you drink
She’s got a bubblegum heart
She’ll chew you up then throw you away
The taste only lasts awhile
The only way she can smile is on Beaujolais
She’s got a bubblegum heart
She’ll chew you up then throw you away
The taste only lasts awhile
The only way she can smile is on Beaujolais
She’s got a bubblegum heart
She’ll chew you up then throw you away
The taste only lasts awhile
The only way she can smile is on Beaujolais

My Friend The Wall
03:50
|

|
There’s a movie where my life goes how I planned it
But it seems we have to edit scenes and leave them on the floor
My co-star wants her own tremendous franchise
She changes lines and don’t hear mine this happens more and more
Oh tell me true will we ever return to the other you?
The other me could only see love what can I do?
I go round in circles with my friend the wall
There was once a time I thought I had it all
There’s a painting on the wall that looks so different
It used to be so pretty now the colour’s gone away
We could paint a new one dear together
Of swaying trees and honey bees and boats out on the bay
If there’s anything I could ever do I will do anything for you
If we can ever be happily I’ll never be blue
I go round in circles with my friend the wall
There was once a time I thought I had it all
Maybe I was for sake now I’m forsaken
Maybe I’m holding on too long for memories and dust
I can say I gave it one last shot dear
I dug for gold where I was told and only found rust
If there’s anything I could ever do I will do anything for you
If we can ever be happily I’ll never be blue
I go round in circles with my friend the wall
There was once a time I thought I had it all
I go round in circles with my friend the wall
There was once a time I thought I had it all

The Perfect Reason
04:41
|

Wild and free you are glowing
You know where you’re going
Where the wind’s blowing
There you are knowing the day
Holding me close when I feel the distance
It’s your existence
And my persistence
That brings the insistence to say
You’re giving me the perfect reason
You’re lifting me above the sun
You move me like the changing season
You make me feel like I’m the one
No one nor I will ever harm you
Or ever disarm you
Or ever disown you
Not that I own you at all
No one can shake the leaves on our tree
Our roots are firmly
Internally
So strong we will never fall
You’re giving me the perfect reason
You’re lifting me above the sun
You move me like the changing season
You make me feel like I’m the one
Oh our story’s like a film Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
You’re giving me the perfect reason
You’re lifting me above the sun
You move me like the changing season
You make me feel like I’m the one
You’re giving me the perfect reason
You’re lifting me above the sun
You move me like the changing season
You make me feel like I’m the one
Oh our story’s like a film Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh

Hey now if I could save my money I could get there alone
If I knew now what my dog knew then I could buy him a bone
Johnny he owes me cash but I only get a rain cheque
Rent’s high I’m not they’ve got me by the neck
But you can never have too many sunnies or guitars
Them and just a handful of money’s gonna make me a star
No greed I need some dollar to my name
No fame no gain it’s a poor musicians game hey
If I earn a penny I will spend a pound Where does it go?
My Star Wars money box is filled with echoes and woe
Wealth ain’t common and I solemnly do declare
I can’t pick up my girl on the bus coz I can’t afford the fare
But you can never have too many sunnies or guitars
Them and just a handful of money’s gonna make me a star
No greed I need some dollar to my name
No fame no gain it’s a poor musicians game hey
I dream big and I stand tall but that takes money after all
I’ve nothing good to offer you but something borrowed all things blue
I went down to the bank and got down on my knees and there they heard my plea
It was a real good deal they lent me a hundred and I pay them back times
three
Back at mine I drink cheap wine and watch the radio
And talkin’ of the radio... Where did Elvis go? Can I get an Amen?
But you can never have too many sunnies or guitars
Them and just a handful of money’s gonna make me a star
No greed I need some dollar to my name
No fame no gain it’s a poor musicians game
No you can never have too many sunnies or guitars
Them and just a handful of money’s gonna make me a star
No greed I need some dollar to my name
No fame no gain it’s a poor musicians game
No you can never have too many sunnies or guitars
Them and just a handful of money’s gonna make me a star
No greed I need some dollar to my name
No fame no gain it’s a poor musicians game
Ahh ahhh ahhhhh

Lovely People

Lovely people lovely scene
I love to live in village green
Happy shoppers holding hands
Watching their weight and watching bands
This is the place we fell in love
The place that fits us like a glove
Look at them dancing so alive
They do not worry of the jive
La la la la la la la la la
Hello morning hello you
Darling what would you like to do?
Come on closer close the door
I just couldn’t love you more
Just one milk in my tea
Just one orange on my tree
Day to day night by night
The sky is always shining bright
La la la la la la la la la (Super doo rye ayy)
La la la la la la la la la
I nearly choke when you tell me a joke oh yeah
I think it’s fine when you’re drinking my wine
Borrow my hat coz you wear it like that you’re cool
You make a great cup of nice milky tea
Trashy TV isn’t me
But it makes lovely people grin
Being different makes us the same
Let them out to let them in
Hoola hooper hippy shake
The love you give is what you take
Super soaker summer crush
Your body gives me such a rush
La la la la la la la la la (Super doo rye ayy)
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la (Super doo rye ayy)
La la la la la la la la la

In My Shoes
03:10

|
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
In my shoes there ain’t nobody in there
To tell me no lies wearing a fake disguise
My room is music and dreaming
Step into my world if you’re my size
In my shoes there’s some time
I think of what I’d like to be
It doesn’t seem silly to me
Alone in a land of my worries
I searched for someone to set the feelings free
I try and I’ll tell you a joke
But the only one finding it funny is me
In my shoes there’s some time
I think of what I’d like to be
It doesn’t seem silly to me
In my shoes there’s some time
I think of what I’d like to be
It doesn’t seem silly to me
In my shoes there’s some time
I think of what I’d like to be
It doesn’t seem silly to me
In my shoes there’s some time
I think of what I’d like to be
It doesn’t seem silly to me
I was lost like a fish out of water
I followed a seagull where she flew
Hand in hand go dreaming and home
And this is the place where they’re gonna come true
In my shoes there’s some time
I think of what I’d like to be
It doesn’t seem silly to me
In my shoes there’s some time
I think of what I’d like to be
It doesn’t seem silly to me

This is the perfect place to be
Right here with you us as we
The things and places we have seen
Clouds and castles
Kings and Queens
I know I’m not an easy ride
With all my demons deep inside
You know just how to handle me
And calm my deep and stormy sea
I’ll be your forever lover
Protect and serve you alone
Your hand was blessed by your mother
And you said yes to the stone
Life is better thanks to you
My broken pieces fixed and glued
Morning brings a brand new sun
A day with you is yet to come
Shake the apples from the tree
Grab the stars that you can see
Believe me when I say to you
I see your dreams we’ll see them through
We really will we will until the world fairs us goodbye, hello
(Choir – Take me home. Take me as I am. Take me home and hold me baby)
I’ll be your forever lover
Protect and serve you alone
Your hand was blessed by your mother
And you said yes to the stone
I’ll be your forever lover
Protect and serve you alone
Your hand was blessed by your mother
And you said yes to the stone
Shake the apples from the tree
Grab the stars that you can see

I’m on the bus to Bombai the whole way
You’re invited now to join us on this magical
commune

The driver has a sparkle in his eye which will last
the whole way
The conductor winds a ticket box which plays a
merry tune
You’re invited now to join us on this magical

In time I will get mine
I wish for you to find yours
Wind can change on a dime yeah
Windows open doors
That’s patience and peace of mind
Trust in your senses
Thrust your fear aside
Time will tell a story
Your future’s open wide
Patience is peace of mind
The hour is the dealer
But they say time’s a healer
Dream into a new day
Awake with something new to say
Together we’ll find the way
Red wine on the grapevine
My glass is half full tonight
On rough ground travel sky bound
In darkness turn on the light
But don’t leave me behind
Mankind isn’t always kind
We’re faulty by design
It takes a lifetime to learn your crime
And acceptance to decline
That’s patience and peace of mind
Finding peace was finding me
Then finding out
Don’t whisper for freedom
You gotta shout
The hour is the dealer
But they say time’s a healer
Dream into a new day
Awake with something new to say
Mankind isn’t always kind
We’re faulty by design
It takes a lifetime to learn your crime
And acceptance to decline
The hour is the dealer
But they say time’s a healer
Dream into a new day
Awake with something new to say

Rough Edges
04:55
|

|
If you chip away at this jagged piece of stone
You’ll help to shape me up and bring me home
I am frayed torn and open to attack
You’re the only one who has my back
All I need is someone to understand
Sometimes it feels my head’s stuck in the sand
I’ve misplaced my tendency to keep it real
Maybe baby you know how it feels?
I’m rough around the edges
I need a guarantee
Enough of my negativity
Do you have faith in me?
I have never seen a greater magic touch
It’s the first time anybody’s been my crutch
You have made me feel alive and so brand new
If there’s anything that I can do for you
You silly thing you idiot you said to me
Then shook me by the ears to make me see
A little darkness off the back and off the sides
May free the beastly fear where it resides
I’m rough around the edges
I need a guarantee
Enough of my negativity
Do you have faith in me?
I’m saving the best of me for you
There are wings on my gratitude it’s true
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Inside the bruised fallen apple are the seeds
To grow again and rise up through the weeds
Dare I say I believe I found the cure
The moment you arrived outside my door
I was rough around the edges
I needed guarantees
You rid my negativity
You put your faith in me
I was rough around the edges
I needed guarantees
You rid my negativity
You put your faith in me
Bom badda bede seria day

You and all the Seasons
05:57
|
|||
|
A Summer’s day I ain’t got much to say
Can’t take the heat I must get off my feet
I take a nap and dream of Winter nights
Where we sit by the fire
Together drinking wine
And the flames are getting higher
Ohh ohh ohh
Autumn leaves pretty Summer thieves
Can’t see the ground evening comes around
I go on home to call you on the phone
Come on round and we’ll sit by the fire
Together drinking wine
And watch the flames getting higher
Higher and higher
You lit the fire
You and all the seasons
Turn the world around
Without you and all the seasons
My life would be through
I remember Spring it gave me everything
It brought me you, you knew just what to do
You saved my life and then became my wife
We meant our vows and allowed our hearts to be
So vulnerable and free
Yours is safe you will see
Stay with me
Everyone will see
You and all the seasons
Turn the world around
Without you and all the seasons
My life would be through
Let it snow let it thunder
Let the sun shine
As long as you are mine
You and all the seasons
Turn the world around
Without you and all the seasons
My life would be through
You and all the seasons
Turn the world around
Without you and all the seasons
My life would be through
You and all the seasons
Turn the world around
Without you and all the seasons
My life would be through
Yes it’s you and all the seasons
That turn the world around
Without you and all the seasons
My life would, would be through
Yes it’s you and all the seasons
That turn the world around
Without you and all the seasons
My life would be through
Yes it’s you and all the seasons
That turn the world around
Without you and all the seasons
My life would be through

Change Your Hat

Brother please change your hat I need you
It happened to me just like that like voodoo
Things aren’t like they used to be
Come back and set me free
Oh brother this isn’t me at all
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Brother please change your shoes run faster
Wrap my broken fuse in plaster
Moonlight your way here to me
Dig out who I used to be
Too much time is wasted on fear
If the stars bounce back tonight (The dream will be alright)
I’ll ride one of them home (You are not alone)
I realise I have been a Joker to my Queen
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Brother please change your mind and remember (Hey hey hey hey hey hey)
Driving through the rain in November (Hey hey hey hey hey)
Lightning hit my wheels near the
House on Haunted Hill and I
Briefly saw the ghost of you
If the stars bounce back tonight (The dream will be alright)
I’ll ride one of them home (You are not alone)
I realise I have been a Joker to my Queen
This picture look at me I was so full of life
I wonder what the chances are of lightning striking twice
If the stars bounce back tonight (The dream will be alright)
I’ll ride one of them home (You are not alone)
I realise I have been a Joker to my Queen
If the stars bounce back tonight (The dream will be alright)
I’ll ride one of them home (You are not alone)
I realise I have been a Joker to my Queen

My head’s on the line if I cannot make you mine
Save all your love for me
If I cannot make you see I’m the bird and you’re the bee
You’re hiding your love from me
I’ll roll on I can see the hope’s gone
No arms open to hold me
I’ll only ever be lonely
There must be a reason why I must have you
Whatever could you see in a dreamer boy like me
They’d say it can’t be true
I set my sights so high with a tint upon
my eye
Why oh why can’t I have you?
I’ll roll on I can see the hope’s gone
No arms open to hold me
I’ll only ever be lonely
There must be a reason why I must have you
Never mind my tears I’ve been makin’ em for years
I guess that isn’t news
I wear my heart in my songs I’ve been singin’ them so long
But I don’t sing no blues
I’ll roll on I can see the hope’s gone
No arms open to hold me
I’ll only ever be lonely
There must be a reason why I must have you
Cupids aim was stupid
I’m cursed and I don’t know what it is I’ll do
Tomorrow may bring more sorrow
But I’ll give it one more try because it’s you
I’ll roll on I can see the hope’s gone
No arms open to hold me
I’ll only ever be lonely
There must be a reason why I must have
Roll on I can see the hope’s gone
No arms open to hold me
I’ll only ever be lonely
There must be a reason why I must have you
I can see the loves gone I can see the hopes gone
I can see the loves gone I can see the love the love the love the love

As she lives and breathes those two will always be pod n’ pea
You can tell by the way ee looks at ‘er through his mince pies ‘ow much ee luvs his cheese n’ kisses
It gets me all two and eight
In a good way of course!
I couldn’t help but see them through the tommy trinder this mornin’
Goosy gandering at each other like ‘oneymooners
Ohh speakin of which, here they come now look
Off for a few Vera Lynns and a sing-song no less I’d say
Still I can’t stand out ere gib gabberin
all night
Winnie will be waiting for her supper
Nice to meet ya, mind ‘ow ya go
As she lives smiles and breathes
That is what I’ll do
If she has to shed a tear
I will shed one too
As long as she believes and counts on me
I will count my stars
Long ago all I had
Was to add up all my scars
We’ll never be sad and feeling alone
Our house will always be home
I open my eyes as soon as I rise
I feel like you are all that I’ve known
And if your promise always is true
I will only ever love you
Teach me to dance with a romance
That only we could ever do
My hands are weak unless you speak
Strength to me my love
My story would fold and time would’ve told
The way life always was
Lady Grace how you embrace
Life endears my soul
Your touch and style stops me a while
And I lose all control
We’ll never be sad and feeling alone
Our house will always be home
I open my eyes as soon as I rise
I feel like you are all that I’ve known
And if your promise always is true
I will only ever love you
Teach me to dance with a romance
That only we could ever do
As long as you live and breathe
As long as you never leave
We’ll never be sad and feeling alone
Our house will always be home
I open my eyes as soon as I rise
I feel like you are all that I’ve known
And if your promise always is true
I will only ever love you
Teach me to dance with a romance
That only we could ever do
Skip to my lou land on the beat
I will sweep your legs off your feet
Sing along to the rhyme share me a wine
Would you accompany me to dine?
My life is changing every day
With every word to me you say
Let’s go down the aisle make it mile
Remember you caught your sisters bouquet

It's Only Losing
04:05

There’s nothing to be frightened of you’ll see
The world isn’t out to bring you down
To me anyway you’re winning everyday
Come and get your knees up with Mother Brown
When nothing goes right and gold and silver are tight
Where do you turn when you’re in a spin?
I’ve been there my friend my hand is here to lend
Here are the words to remember
It’s only losing nothing more
Don’t take nothing less than what you’re worth to me
Winners face a higher fall
Your worries will seem small tomorrow you will see
To keep your chin up to never give up
You could say that’s easy for me to say
To quit lighting up and too much beer in your cup
Well I can’t sweep my cares away
If you’re willing to try to not have life pass you by
You can count on me as your number one
I’ll be there my friend my hand is here to lend
Don’t forget the words to remember
It’s only losing nothing more
Don’t take nothing less than what you’re worth to me
Winners face a higher fall
Your worries will seem small tomorrow you will see
It’s only losing yes it is
It’s a temporary fix like the snow falling in June
What you have is more than you will know
Hold on to your hat and I will see you soon
I will see you soon I will see you soon I will see you soon I will see you soon
I will see you soon I will see you soon I will see you soon I will see you soon
I will see you soon I will see you soon
