"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
"The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover"
She said, "it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover"

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Don't believe in Jesus
Don't believe in Jah
Don't believe in the wars we fight
Just to prove how real we are

I believe in lovers
I believe in friends
I believe in heaven here on earth
Till the, the beginning ends

Love me and leave me
Love me and leave me
Love me and leave me
Leave me to love

Love me and do not ever leave me
You're the only one
You're not just for fun
Love me, don't believe them when they say
I don't really care
That just isn't fair

'Cause babe, I believe you so
I will always be true to you
Never mind how I sometimes act
My feelings are the same

Love me, need me
That's all I want from you
Love me, believe me
And always be true
Love me, don't leave me
Without you
My life would be blue

Did you say it's all over? It was me not a whisper
The marriage is over, was it me or my heart?
Justify all affection, beyond recollection
I was fine in Virginia, guess it's true what I said

Wake up, get up, get out, break up
Just say goodbye for today
I'm wearing my blue hat for a blue day is all we need
Please my love, release the things that I touch

Your baby doesn't love you any more

Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you any more
Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more

It's over

It breaks your heart in two, to know she's been untrue
But oh what will you do? then she said to you
There's someone new we're through we're through
It's over it's over it's over

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night
Just in case you feel you wanna hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight

I've been swimming for a hundred miles
My arms' getting sore but I'm not turning back
'Til I'm faster than a whale or a shark
Trust me now brother, time to win a new shark attack
Win another shark attack

I'm just waiting for a change in your barriers
'Cause in my heart I hesitate with what I'm thinking of

'Cause nobody loves a spaceman
And nobody loves their friends
You look at me like I'm crazy
But you'll get what you deserve
When suddenly the world stops
And you think I'm not around
Look down baby, I'm probably in your pocket now

Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife
How the world just turns & turns
How does anybody learn?

Mummy, put your needle down
How did you feel when you were young?
Cos I feel like I've just been born
Even though I'm getting on
How the world slips by so fast
How does anybody last?

As the world keeps coming
And the bees keep humming
And I'll keep running

I got off the riverboat in New Orleans in the spring of 82,
I walked into a gambling house as gamblers often do.
I had myself a drink, and I joined in a poker game,
The dealer was a woman, so I asked her for her name.
She smiled at me so pretty, but a hush fell over the place,
As a big man crossed the table, stood up and slapped my face.

Bowie knife, bowie knife, long, glitterin' steel,
If my gun don't take your evil life,
You can bet, my bowie knife will.

Oh the shark baby has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has Mac Heath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears Mac Heath, dear
So there's not a trace of red

On the sidewalk, oh Sunday morning don't you know
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking round the corner
Could that be our boy Mack the knife?

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #3235 on:** March 01, 2020, 12:02:44 PM »

Conquering myself
Until I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another drop in the ocean

Come to the free for all
With seven tapered knives
Some of them six feet tall
We will escape our lives

Spare us the cutter
Spare us the cutter
Couldn't cut the mustard

Climb every mountain
Search high and low
Follow every byway
Every path you know

Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
'Till you find your dream

A dream that will need
All the love you can give
Every day of your life
For as long as you live

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #3237 on:** March 02, 2020, 10:01:35 AM »

Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that wishes would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star?

Someone thought of that and someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see?

Robbie · « **Reply #3238 on:** March 02, 2020, 09:32:30 PM »

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, praying it'll come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done

I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me

Aruntraveller · « **Reply #3239 on:** March 02, 2020, 09:36:02 PM »

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
It doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh how I wish I could but you're so far away

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #3240 on:** March 03, 2020, 09:31:23 AM »

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Udayana · « **Reply #3241 on:** March 04, 2020, 11:18:52 AM »

What can you do when your dreams come true
And it's not quite like you planned?
What have you done to be losing the one
You held it so tight in your hand well

Time passes and you must move on,
Half the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song
After the thrill is gone

Robbie · « **Reply #3242 on:** March 04, 2020, 11:38:27 PM »

Said, I'm pulling down the shades for the long ride
I never knew that I could feel so black and blue
And I've been holding onto something now for some time
All I know is it's a feeling fit for two
'Cause when the sunlight laid its head down on this dark night
And I was talking to myself in the rear view

Yeah I've got questions but I know everything is alright
And all I have to do is just remember you
'Cause I'm never gonna lose you
I've got you deep inside my chest
And I can feel you beating like the soul of a drummer boy

We've gotta keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Don't care what anybody say
Let the law take us away
We've gotta keep going

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #3243 on:** March 05, 2020, 06:59:36 AM »

I can feel the earth begin to move
I hear my needle hit the groove
And spiral through another day
I hear my song begin to say
Kiss me where the sun don't shine
The past was yours
But the future's mine
You're all out of time

I don't feel too steady on my feet
I feel hollow I feel weak
Passion fruit and holy bread
Fill my guts and ease my head
Through the early morning sun
I can see her here she comes

She bangs the drums

Robbie · « **Reply #3244 on:** March 06, 2020, 06:20:06 PM »

I know I'm a fool to let her run away with my heart,
And she'll never tire of these games,
Loving her is like playing catch in the dark,
I'm a tear drop in an ocean of flames,

And we'll drink too much for a wednesday,
She'll ask me why none of her men stay,
I tell her just what her friends say,
It never goes down too well,

And she'll stay hear til late in the evening,
But she's always arriving or leaving,
Never decides to believe in,
The people who know her so well

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #3245 on:** March 07, 2020, 08:35:23 AM »

There she goes I want to see her again
She's gone to school with her best friend
She only does the things she likes to do
Now she wants something new

Wednesday week - she loved me
Wednesday week - never happened at all

Robbie · « **Reply #3246 on:** March 07, 2020, 12:51:29 PM »

There she goes with her nose in the air
Funny how love can be
Wonder why she pretends I'm not there
Funny how love can be
Funny how love can be

There she is with her look in her eyes
Hasn't got time for me
Wonder why she pretends I'm not there
Funny how love can be
Funny how love can be

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #3247 on:** March 07, 2020, 01:16:27 PM »

There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name
Pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
But I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

Robbie · « **Reply #3248 on:** March 07, 2020, 02:48:17 PM »

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but 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, I can't give any more
Can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #3249 on:** March 08, 2020, 09:03:57 AM »

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow
Sorrow
You acted funny trying to spend my money
You're out there playing your high class games of sorrow
Sorrow

You never do what you know you oughta
Something tells me you're the devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
