If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side?
This girl with eyes like gems
And cool reactions to your lies
Lies, la la la lies
You can't repeat what you put 'round
All the things that made me cry
You kicked me when I was down
And they hurt me all those lies
Lies, la la la lies
I've got my girl
And together we're strong, strong
To laugh at you
And prove you wrong
I don't insist that you feel bad
I just want to see you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad
I didn't listen to your lies
Lies, la la la lies
If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side?
This girl with eyes like gems
And cool reactions to your lies
Lies, la la la lies
I don't insist that you feel bad
I just want to see you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad
I didn't listen to your lies
Lies, la la la lies
I. Her Man's Been Gone
Her man's been gone
For nearly a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here
Her man's been gone
For nigh on a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here
II. Crying Town
Down your street your crying is a well-known sound
Your street is very well known, right here in town
Your town is very famous for the little girl
Whose cries can be heard all around the world...
I can go anyway, way I choose
I can live anyhow, win or lose
I can go anywhere, for something new
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose
I can do anything, right or wrong
I can talk anyhow, and get along
Don't care anyway, I never lose
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose
Nothing gets in my way
Not even locked doors
Don't follow the lines
That been laid before
I get along anyway I dare
Anyway, anyhow,...
Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Okay, talk to you
South America, Australia
France, Germany, UK, Africa
Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you
Out to one of my friends
I picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you
Wearing disguises
I don't think you want me to see you ever again
And today I saw you dressed as a flower bed

Good love
Good love
Good love
Good love
I was feelin' so bad
I asked my family doctor just what I had
I said, "Doctor"
Doctor
Mr. M.D.
Doctor
Now can you tell me
What's ailin' me?"
Doctor
He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes, indeed, all I, I really need
Good love
Now gimme that good, good lovin'
Good love
All I need is love
Good love
Good lovin', baby
...
I know when I've had enough
When I think your love is rough
The good's gone, the good's gone
The good's gone, the good's gone
The good's gone out of our love
I know it's wrong, we should enjoy it
But the good's gone, the good's gone
Once we used to get along
Now each time we kiss it's wrong
And the good's gone, the good's gone
The good's gone, the good's gone
The good's gone out of our love

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man.
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man.
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key,
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey.
The kids couldn't hurt Jack,
They tried, tried, tried.
They dropped things on his back,
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied.
But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping,
And they couldn't prevent Jack from ...
One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I'm a boy
My name is Bill, and I'm a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair
chorus:
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Pu...
I'm free, I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high
You'd laugh and say, "Nothing's that simple"
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
No one had the guts to leave the temple
I'm free, I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting ...
Oh, just you and me doo doo wah
Just you and me doo doo wah
Just you and me, baby doo doo wah
Just you and me doo doo wah
Don't need nobody doo doo wah
Nobody else doo doo wah
To ease my misery doo doo wah
Oh, yeah doo doo wah
Don't need nobody doo doo wah
Nobody else doo doo wah
Just you and me
When I go to the movie show doo doo wah
Don't need nobody doo doo wah
Show me the way doo doo wah

Hey, fellas, have you heard the news?
Yeah, the women in this town have been misused
Yeah, I seen it all in my dreams last night
Girls, leaving this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right
Oh, take a train, take a train, fly by plane, fly by plane
Gettin' tired, gettin' tired, sick and tired, sick and tired
All you fellas better change your ways
Yeah, they're leaving this town in a matter of day...
Down at the Astoria the scene was changing
Bingo and rock were pushing out X-rating
We were the first band to vomit in the bar
And find the distance to the stage too far
Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock
Rock is dead they say, long live rock
Long live rock, I need it every night
Long live rock, come on and join the line
Long live rock, be it dead or alive
People walk in sideways prete...
People try to put us d-down Talkin' 'bout my generation
Just because we get around Talkin' 'bout my generation
Things they do look awful c-c-cold Talkin' 'bout my generation
I hope I die before I get old Talkin' 'bout my generation
This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
Why don't you all f-fade away Talkin' 'bout my generation
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say Talkin' 'bout m...
You can hear it in the street, see it in the dragging feet
The word is gettin' out about control
Spies they've come and gone, the story travels on
The only quiet place is inside your soul
From tree to tree, from you to me
Travelin' twice as fast as on any freeway
Every single dream, wrapped up in the scheme
They all get carried on the relay
Relay, things are brewin'
Relay, something's doin'
Re...
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Well baby, better take my advice
A black cat crossed your path twice
The moon came out next to the 1
Then you opened your umbrella in a room
[chorus:]
You better run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Well you ain't the luckiest girl I know
And you won't get luckier the way you're going
Your horseshoe's rusty and your mir...
Some way, some day, I'll find a way
To make you see my way
Even if you don't think like I do
You know that it's true
It's your mind that I seek
Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad
Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad
I'm glad it's goodbye
You don't have to ask why
Come back another day
Come back when you see my way
You see my way
Tried so hard to make...
When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me
Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in the knee bone
Quivers in a backbone
Like a shake in a hollow bone
That's what happens when you say goodnight to me
Bring this feeling all inside of me
Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in the knee bone
Quivers in a backbone
Like a shake in a hollow bone

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah
Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really ma...
I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables
They call me 'The Seeker'
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
They call me 'The Seeker'
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm aft...
