You get your kicks out of watching me cry.
You play around an awful lot to hurt me, honey.
Why do you laugh when there are tears in my eyes? I don’t think it’s funny, honey.
My skies are not so sunny.
Why don’t you make up your mind?
Let me put my arms around you,

… CLAUSTROPHOBIA I’d like to be the one to see
your loving mind at the start,
but I get claustrophobia
‘cause there’s too many boys in your heart.
I’d like to know how far you’d go
to use those lips of wine,
but I get claustrophobia
‘cause there’s too many boys on your mind. Oh, oh, oh, one, two, three and now there’s me,
you practice to deceive,
you lead me on another one,
I’ve got no room to breathe. So bye-bye you who can’t be true,
I’m leaving you behind,
‘cause I get claustrophobia

I don’t know what I’m doing
ever since I looked at you.
How did I get this crazy feeling?
Could it be I’m in love with you? Ever since I saw you in the moonlight
I’ve had this feeling through and through,
since that time, I haven’t done a thing right.
Could it be I’m in love with you? Oh golly gee,
I don’t know where I’m going,
I’m trying to make you see,
oh boy, I got to make her fall in love with me. Oh, night after night, I’m always dreaming,
why don’t you make those dreams come true?
Can’t you see how much I really love you?
Why don’t you learn to love me too? Oh golly gee,
I don’t know where I’m going,
I’m trying to make you see,

Well, I’ve been working up a fever trying to
straighten up the mess in my mind about this place,
I can’t contain myself anymore,
can’t you see it’s written all over my face?
Why don’t you get on your feet?
It’s about time you got to think
whatever happened to peace?
Well, open your eyes and you’ll see children laughing,
voices singing, hearts beating. You’re always talking right and talking about
the world and its corruption and moral decay,
but what you gonna do about it? Nothing,
‘cause you’re more like children than children while they play,
Why you’re so clean through and through you won’t shake hands
with a negro who’s maybe cleaner than you.
Well, listen around and you’ll hear children laughing,
voices singing, hearts beating like they always do,
so what’s wrong with you? You’re so blown up with anger about the world,
you write the songs about it all,
yet you don’t even know your neighbour’s name.
And now you want to go to the moon and live there,
when you know it’ll only end up the same.
How can he give you any gratitude,
with your endless sickening attitude?
You strive to get ahead
but you leave each other dead.
Can’t you see children laughing,
voices singing, hearts beating like they always do?
So what’s wrong with you? Children laughing, voices singing hearts beating.
Children laughing, voices singing, hearts… WINE AND WOMEN Wine and women and song will only make me sad.
Love and kisses and hugs, the things I never had.
If this should end, I don’t mind.
If this should end, I will find.
What shall I do (what shall I do).
What shall I do (what shall I do). Cars and buses and trams make a lot of noise.
All my women have gone out with other boys.
If this should end, I don’t mind.
If this should end, I will find.
I won’t complain (I won’t complain).
I feel no pain (I feel no pain). Ooh..
If this should end, I don’t mind.

and don’t believe the jealous lies they told to you.
Oh no, don’t go, don’t make this poor boy cry,
I’ll be true, I beg of you, don’t say goodbye. Now don’t you know I love you more than I can say,
and it would mean my life if you should run away.
Oh no, don’t go, don’t make this poor boy cry,
I’ll be true, I beg of you, don’t say goodbye. You just won’t listen to my pleas,
you want me begging on my knees. So sit right down and listen while I beg, you see
I’ll never be untrue, so please believe in me.
Oh no, don’t go, don’t make this poor boy cry,
I’ll be true, I beg of you, don’t say goodbye.
I’ll be true, I beg of you, don’t say goodbye. PEACE OF MIND Ah……..

… FOLLOW THE WIND I’m so weary from holding this load,
but it’s only my love for you that I walk this lonely road,
I must follow the wind, follow the wind,
and the wind will take me hold before the cold. Every star I have counted,
each flower I have seen,
but the place where I’m going, there’s no grass as green,
I must follow the wind, follow the wind,
and the wind will take me home where I can dream. In the hour I am lonely, your love will be mine,
I will stay in your arms dear, until comes the time.
I must be on my way for my home is anywhere.
I have no time to stay, I have no time to care.
I must follow the wind, follow the wind,
as the wind gently blows in my hair. I must follow the wind, follow the wind,
as the wind gently blows in my hair.
I must follow the wind, follow the wind,
as the wind gently blows in my hair. |
