How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Nearly Sane]

It's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man, it's my man
Cold and wet, tired you bet
All of this I'll soon forget with my man

He's not much for looks
He's no hero out of books
But I love him, yes I love him
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He beats me too
What can I do
Oh, my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms

[Robbie]

Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright,
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more

[Aruntraveller]

My man's gone now
Ain't no use a listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs

Old man sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers

[Nearly Sane]

Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass
The trees don't have to know

Why tell them all your secrets?
Who kissed there long ago?
Whispering grass
The trees don't need to know

Don't you tell it to the breeze
'Cos she will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told them once before

[Aruntraveller]

When she said that you were through
I thought that there was
Nothing that I could do
Just because she ran right here
Doesn't mean I interfered
Now I'm wondering
If we can feel the same

'Cause she keeps whispering your name
She keeps on whispering your name
Like she's just waiting

[Nearly Sane]

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

[Robbie]

With your long blond hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you
Was sorrow, sorrow

You're acting funny, try to spend my money
You out there playing your high class games
Of sorrow, sorrow

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

I tried to find her cause I can't resist her
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow, sorrow

[Nearly Sane]

Jeremiah was a bullfrog, he was good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine
He always had some mighty fine wine, sing it

Joy to the world, all the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
And joy to you and me

[Robbie]

Let's be happy
Or beheaded
I don't, I won't not get it
Let's be happy
And if I say hello again
Let it be for the last time
And if I break my bones again
Let it be for the last time

[Nearly Sane]

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am

[Robbie]

Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle V.I.P
I reached the top and had to stop
And that's what bothering me
I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town
And be just like those other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I'll make a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dreams come true
So give me the secret, man-cub, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you

[Nearly Sane]

Aye aye aye, aye aye aye!
Tell you baby,
You huggin up the big monkey man
Aye aye aye, aye aye aye!
Tell you baby,
You huggin up the big monkey man

I never saw you, I only heard of you
huggin up the big monkey man
I never saw you, I only heard of you
huggin up the big monkey man

It's no lie, it's no lie
Them a tell me,
You huggin up the big monkey man
It's no lie, it's no lie
Them a tell me,
You huggin up the big monkey man

[Robbie]

Ooh I like that, makes me think of Amy Winehouse though .

Girl aren't you afraid of the dark
Afraid of being human, afraid of going back again
(Skip ahead-unintelligible)
You're not so wild you can't be tamed
You're not so free that you can't be framed
I could use this magic too
I could see your mystery through

It's animal, it's passion, it's magic
It's animal, animal magic
The things you do to me
The way you make me feel
It's animal, animal...

[Nearly Sane]

Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Lazy day in bed
Music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light


Oh, ho, ho
It's magic you know
Never believe, it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so

[Robbie]

Dreamers
They never learn
They never learn
Beyond the point
Of no return
Of no return
And it's too late
The damage is done
The damage is done

This goes
Beyond me
Beyond you
The white room
By window
Where the sound goes
Through

[Nearly Sane]

The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money

All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway

I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just lookin' for fun

[Udayana]

Wide-eyed with a heart made full of fright
Your eyes follow like tracers in the night
And the tightrope that you wander every time
You have been weighed, you have been found wanting

Been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna learn to love in kind
'Cause You were all I ever longed for

Sheltered, you better keep the wolf back from the door
He wanders ever closer every night
And how he waits, baying for blood
I promised you everything would be fine

[Nearly Sane]

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walking with the Queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a piña colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Ah-hooo
Werewolves of London
Heh, draw blood
Ah-hooo
Werewolves of London

[Robbie]

...they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love

[Nearly Sane]

Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

When harm is done no love can be won
I know it happens frequently
What I can't understand oh please God hold my hand
Why it had to happen to me

And it's only love and it's only love
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out

[Aruntraveller]

When you were young
and on your own
How did it feel
to be alone?
I was always thinking
of games that I was playing.
Trying to make
the best of my time.

But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Someone should call him
and see if he can come out.
Try to lose
the down that he's found.

But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?

[Nearly Sane]

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean

And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play

[Robbie]

I'm outta the game
I've been out for a long time now
I'm lookin' for something
Can't be found on the main drain, no
I'm out of the game
I've been out for a long time now
I'm looking for something
Can't be found on the main drain, no.

[Nearly Sane]

I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to gro

[Aruntraveller]

I've been wanting you
For so long, it's a shame
Oh, baby
Every time I hear your name
Oh, the pain
Boy, how it hurts me inside

‘Cause every time we meet
We play hide and seek
I'm wondering what I should do
Should I, dear, come up to you
And say, “How do you do?”
Would you turn me away

You're as much to blame
‘Cause I know you feel the same
I can see it in your eyes
But I've got no time to live this lie
No, I've got no time to play your silly games
Silly games
