How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[ekim]

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home.

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore.

[Nearly Sane]

Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang.
Blue days, black nights, doo wah doo lang.
I look into the sky, the love you need ain't gonna see you through,
And I wonder why, the little things you planned ain't comin' true.
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight.
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight.

O. K. so no one's answering,
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer,
Longer, longer oh, I'll just sit tight,
Through shadows of the night let it ring forever more, oh, hoh hoh hoh.

[ekim]

I put a nickel in the telephone, dialed my baby's number
Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Each time I tried I got a busy tone
Not my baby's number
Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line

Called his uncle in Jamaica
Left a message with the baker
Even checked the number in the telephone book
Got so awfully, awfully worried
To my baby's house I hurried
When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook.

And as I walked up to my baby - then
I got my baby's number
He was busy in the parlour doing fine
Busy kissing someone else
While I was keeping busy
Getting a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line.

[Nearly Sane]

I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina colada
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said I've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a dreadlock holiday
And I say
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don't you walk through her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru her words
'Cause you ain't heard her out yet

[SweetPea]

I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothin' seems to be the same old way

Think about the love that burns within my heart for you
The good times we had before you went away, oh me
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don't send it
I'm so lonesome every day

[ekim]

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by.

Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private
Cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by.

[Nearly Sane]

Now they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around, uh
Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around, oh yeah, baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
'Cause really I'm sad

[ekim]

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here, at last, on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns.

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

[Robbie]

Used to feel we had it made
Used to feel we could sail away
Can you imagine how I feel today
Well, it seems a long time ago
You were the lonely one
Now it comes to letting go
You are the only one
Do you know what you've done

It's so funny
How we don't talk anymore
It's so funny
Why we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep
And I ain't counting sheep
It's so funny
How we don't talk anymore

[ekim]

Don't talk of stars, burning above
If you're in love, show me
Tell me not dreams, filled with desire
If you're on fire, show me.

Never do I ever want to hear another word
There isn't one, I haven't heard
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream
Say one more word and I'll scream.

[Robbie]

Don't talk of love right now, dance on

Although the lights are low, forget it

Wait until we're alone, wait until we go home

Come on please, I don't tease

Just dance on

[ekim]

Gotta dance!
Gotta dance!
Gotta dance!

Broadway rhythm's got me, everybody dance.
Broadway rhythm's got me, everybody dance.
Out on the gay white way and each merry café
Orchestras play taking our breath away,
Broadway rhythm's got me, everybody sing and dance.

[Nearly Sane]

Where's the orchestra?
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?
Here I am,..
In the balcony,
How the hell could I have missed the overture?
I like the scenery

[ekim]

Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show;
You can make 'em laugh,
You can make 'em cry,
Anything, anything can go!

The clown
With his pants falling down,
Or the dance
That's a dream of romance,
Or the scene
Where the villain is mean,
That's entertainment!

[Robbie]

Hey! Life, look at me, I can see the reality,
'Cause when you shook me, took me outta my world, I woke up.
Suddenly I just woke up to The Happening.
When you find that you left the future behind.
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of,
then you better beware of,
The Happening.

[ekim]

That's life, that's what people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

I said, that's life and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around.

[Robbie]

Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal
Mm, the good life lets you hide all the sadness you feel
You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance
So please be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance

It's the good life to be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches when you learn you must face them alone
Please remember I still want you, and in case you wonder why
Well, just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye

[Nearly Sane]

Twenty five, don't recall a time I felt this alive,
So wake up boo, there's so many thing's for us to do
It's early so take your time
Don't let me rush you please
I know I was up all night
I can do anything, anything, anything
Wake up it's a beautiful morning
The sun shining for your eyes
Wake up it's so beautiful
For what could be the very last time
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

[Robbie]

When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I'm alive
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm alive

[ekim]

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
You're staying alive, staying alive.
Feel the city breaking and everybody shaking,
And we're staying alive, staying alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive, staying alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive.

[Nearly Sane]

He had a home, love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes as years unfurl
One day, he crossed some line, and he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, you can get out of the rain
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute

[ekim]

I like New York in June, how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due
I like potato chips, moonlight, motor trips, how about you?

I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And James Durantes looks give me a thrill
Holding hands in the movie show
When all the lights are low may not be new
But I like it, how about you?

[Aruntraveller]

Kissin' in the back row
 Of the movies on a Saturday night with you
 Holdin' hands together, you and I
 Holdin' hands together

[Nearly Sane]

Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me,
the movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
reminds me that I long to be,

Homeward bound,
I wish I was homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.

[Aruntraveller]

I have a habit i have been trying to lose
 Everyone thinks that they know what they want
 Sometimes your drug chooses you
 There are some things that I've promised myself
 Things i haven't done yet

 It's my last cigarette
 This is my last cigarette
