The preacher talked to me and he smiled
Said, "Come and walk with me
Come and walk one more mile
Now for once in your life you're alone
But you ain't got a dime
There's no time for the phone"
I've just got to get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
I told him I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart
Then won't you tell her I'm sorry
And for once in my life I'm alone
And I've got to let her know just in time before I go
I've just go to get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on

(816 Posts)When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
So once a year Granny takes a trip
To Hollywood and she's well equipped
For the movie auditions in Hollywood town
She always turns up but she's always turned down.
"Granny Takes A Trip" by: The Purple Gang (1967)
Hello, woman of my dreams (hello, woman of my dreams)
Is this not the way it seems?
Purple words on a gray background
To be a woman and to be turned down
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause cause cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba,observing the hypocrites yeah
Mingle with the good people we meet yeah
Good friends we have had,oh good friends we have lost along the way yeah
In the bright future you can't forget the past
So dry your tears I say yeah
Dry your eyes, mate
I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes, mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now, it's over
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 anymore
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?
When she says to you
There's someone new
We're through, we're through
It's over, it's over, it's over
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over
Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Oh honey if I get restless
Baby your not that kind
Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Oh honey when you knock on my door
Oh I gave you my key
Let us cling together as the year go by,
Oh my love, my love.
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn,
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned.
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoken of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved in return
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoken of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
in return....
I want to tell you a story
About a little man
If I can
A gnome named Grimble Crumble
And little gnomes stay in their homes
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine
He wore a scarlet tunic
A blue green hood
It looked quite good
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass
Fresh air at last
Wining, dining, biding his time
And then one day, hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Ooomray
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me"
"haven't you got an 'ome to go to? "
(no, we're gnomads)
"didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school? you look like a rolling gnome"
(no, not at the london school of ecognomics)
Now they're staying up the chimney
And we're living on caviar and honey (hooray!)
Cause they're earning me lots of money
Writing comedy prose for radio shows
It's the-er (what? )
It's the gnome service of course
Call me irresponsible,
Yes, I'm unreliable,
But it's undeniably true
I'm irresponsibly mad for you.
Dammit, Janet, I love you
Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker
There's three ways that love can grow
That's good, bad or mediocre
Oh J-A-N-E-T I love you so
Oh it's nicer than Betty Munroe had, oh Brad
Now we're engaged and I'm so glad, oh Brad
That you've met Mum and you know Dad, oh Brad
I've one thing to say and that's
Brad I'm mad for you
She ain't got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
She talks kinda lazy
And people say she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
All around me are familiar faces
Worn-out places, worn-out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, 'cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world
People are strange when you are a stranger
Faces look ugly when you are alone
Women seen wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you are down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
Noone remembers you're name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through…
We seem like passing strangers now
How can you hurry by
There were never two who loved
Half as much as you and I
We seem like passing strangers now
Funny how things can change
We were so inseparable
Now you're acting very strange
The hands I used to touch
Don't even wave hello
How I miss your lips
You'll never know
If you would only turn to me
Speak my name just once more
You might find right there and then
Strangers can be lovers again
You'll never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care
Listen
Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Whoa, oh, oh
Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
I thought I could make you cry
And I tried now didn't I?
I didn't think that I would miss you
But it wasn't true, I do
And I told you before
A million times or more
That when you'd walk out that door
I would not love you any more
I do not love you any more
I lied now didn't I?
Oh didn't I?
I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
Didn't I do it baby, didn't I do it baby?
Gave you the love you never knew, girl
Didn't I do it baby, didn't I do it baby?
I've tried so many times and that's no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
Listen
I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
Now didn't I think it baby, didn't I think it baby?
But this time I'm really leavin' you, girl
Hope you know it baby, hope you know it baby
Ten times or more, yes, I've walked out that door
Get this into your head, there'll be no more
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
Didn't I do it baby, didn't I do it baby?
Didn't I do it baby, didn't I do it baby?
Woah, now go, walk out the door,
Just turn around now,
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye,
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive!
Welcome to my world
Won’t you come on in
Miracles I guess
Just happen now and then
Step into my arms
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
