Anytime You Want Me
Anytime, anytime, anytime, anytime you want me
Come on back, come on home 

Ran away and left me alone in this empty place
Anywhere I go, whoa, whoa, all I see is your sweet face
Though my pain keeps on growing
There's one thing, baby, you should be knowing
Anytime you want me, come on back
Anytime you want me, come on back
Anytime you want me, come on back, whoa yeah

Tried to make you happy the very best I could
Anything you wanted, whoa, whoa, just like a good man should
Even though you did me wrong
I'll be waiting no matter how long
Anytime you want me, I'll be here
Anytime you want me, I promise I'll be here, baby
Anytime you want me, I'll be by your side, whoa yeah

Said I'll forgive you for everything in the past
All I need is one more chance, I know, I know it will last 

Now you've heard my story, know just what's on my mind
Tired of being lonely, whoa, whoa, I've had my share of crying
Without you I can't go on
I'll be waiting no matter how long
Anytime you want me, anytime you want me
Anytime you want me, anytime you need me
Anytime you want me, anytime you want me, now
Oh, oh, oh, anytime you want me

I'm A Boy (Original Version)
One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called 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 days just taking hairpins from my hair

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

Put your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy

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

I wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy

Mary Anne With The Shaky Hands (Original Version)
I danced with Linda, I danced with Jean
I danced with Cindy, then I suddenly seen
Mary Anne with the shaky hands
What they've done to her man, those shaky hands

Linda's got looks, Jean reads books
Cindy can sew but I'd rather know
Mary Anne with the shaky hands
What they've done to her man, those shaky hands

Mary is so pretty, the prettiest in the land
Guys come from every city just to shake her shaky hands

I wave at Linda, I wave at Linda
I wave at Jean, I wave at Jean
I wave at Cindy, Mary waves at me, Mary waves at me
Mary Anne with the shaky hands
What they've done to her man, those shaky hands

I danced with Linda, I danced with Jean
I danced with Cindy, then I suddenly seen
Mary Anne with the shaky hands
What they've done to her man, those shaky hands

Mary Anne with the shaky hands
What they've done to her man, those shaky hands

Heaven And Hell
On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong
If you've done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy
If you've been a bad boy
Why can't we have eternal life and never die, never die

In the place up above, you grow feather wings
And you fly round and round with a harp singing hymns
And down in the ground you grow horns and a tail
And you carry a fork and moan and wail
Why can't we have eternal life and never die, never die

On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong
If you've done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy
If you've been a bad boy 
Why can't we have eternal life and never die, never die, never die

Here For More
You can pack up your bags and go looking
For all things that need to be done
Or you can spend all your life not thinking
Never ending what you begun 

We take a step in the right direction
But the man knocks us down on the floor
And although he may think we are broken
We'll get up and take two steps more 

It's your life to do what you want to
By the way y'all push yourself out to the fore
And whatever you think are the reasons
You bet your life you're here for more 

It's your life to do what you want to
By the way y'all push yourself out to the fore
And whatever you think are the reasons
You bet your life you're here for more 

You may think that you're pretty good people
And you run at an even score
But whatever you think you are here for
You bet your life you're here for more

I Don't Even Know Myself
There's nothing in the way I walk
That can tell you where I'm going
There's nothing in the words I speak
That can betray anything I'm knowing
Don't think about the way I dress
You can fit me on a labeled shelf
Don't pretend that you know me
Cos I don't even know myself
Ooh, I don't know myself

I don't mind if you try once in a while
And I don't mind if I cry once in a while
The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem
And I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream

Don't listen to the words I say
Weighing up if I'm enlightened
Don't shiver as you pass me by
Cos Mister, I'm the one who's frightened
The police just came and left
They wanted me and no one else
Don't pretend that you know me
Cos I don't even know myself
I said I don't know myself

I don't mind if you try once in a while
And I don't mind if I cry once in a while
The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem
And I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream 

Do you remember me - I don't remember you
Do you still love me - you know I think you do
I have been gone and some prison warden knows my scream
I,m just trying to fight my way out of this dream, yeah

There's only five who know my real name
My mother don't believe they know it
What she calls me is the way I'm staying
And no one'll ever throw it 
Come on all of you big boys, come on all of you elves
Don't pretend that you know me
Cos I don't even know myself
I said I don't know myself 

I don't mind if you try once in a while
And I don't mind if I cry once in a while

When I Was A Boy
When I was a baby I hadn't a care in the world
But now I'm a man, the troubles fill my head
When I was five it was good to be alive
But now I'm a man, I wish that I were dead

My how time rushes by
The moment you're born you start to die
Time waits for no man
And your life's spent, it's over before it begin

As I sit here at my window, my life comes back to me
It's been so long since the good days, it's been so long
And I count up all the wasted years
The hopes and the fears, the laughs and the tears
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong

When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy
But now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at all
When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams
But now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all

My how time rushes by
The moment you're born you start to die
Time waits for no man
And your life's spent, it's over before it begin

As I sit here at my window, my life comes back to me
It's been so long since the good days, it's been so long
And I count up all the wasted years
The hopes and the fears, the laughs and the tears
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong

Bargain (Live)
I'll gladly lose me to find you
I'll gladly give up all I had
To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad
I'll pay any price just to win you
I'll work all my life and I will
To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed

I call that a bargain, the best I ever had
The best I ever had

I'll gladly lose me to find you
I'll gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop
I'd pay any price just to win you
I'll work all my life and I will
To win you I'm gonna drown an unsung man

I call that a bargain, the best I ever had
The best I ever had

I sit looking round, I look at my face in the mirror
I know I'm worth nothing without you
And like one and one don't make two - one and one make one
And I'm looking for that free ride to me, I'm looking for you
I'm looking for you, pick me up

I'll gladly lose me to find you
I'll gladly give up all I have
To find you I'll suffer anything and be glad
I'll pay any price just to win you
I'll work all my life and I will
To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed

I call that a bargain, the best I ever had
The best I ever had

I call that a bargain, the best I ever had
Call that a bargain, call that a bargain, whoa yeah
Call you a bargain

Call you a bargain, call you a bargain
Yeah, bargain
