Start slowing down
here on 2nd repeat
[Intro] E|E
I sit and wait.
Does an angel contemplate my fate.
And do they know
the places where we go
when we're grey and old.
Cuz I have been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold.
So when I'm lying in my bed,
thoughts running through my head,
and I feel that love is dead.
I'm loving angels instead.
[Chorus]
And through it all
she offers me protection,
a lot oflove and affection,
whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
wherever it may take me,
I know that life won't break me.
When I come to call,
she won't forsake me.
I'm loving angels instead.
When I'm feeling weak
and my pain walks down
a one way street,
I look above
and I know I'll always be blessed with love.
And as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead,
I'm loving angels instead.
[Chorus]
[Solo] |Bm|A|E|E| play 4 times
[Chorus]
Hey, where did we go
days when the rain came
Down in the hollow
playing a new game
Laughing, and a running, hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
in the misty morning fog,
our hearts a thumpin
and you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Whatever happened
to Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown eyed girl
You____ my brown eyed girl
[bridge:]
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la te da Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la te da la te da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown eyed girl
You____, my brown eyed girl
[bridge]
Well I guess it would be nice
if I could touch your body
I know not everybody
has got a body like you.
But I've got to think twice
before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
because I played them too.
Oh but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor.
Oh when that love comes down with-out de-votion
Well it takes a strong man baby but I'm showing you the door.
Because I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith
Because I've got to have faith faith faith
I've got to have faith faith faith.
Baby I know you're asking me to stay
Stay please please please don't go away.
You say I'm giving you the blues.
Maybe you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover boy rules.
Be-fore this river be-comes an ocean
Be-fore you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider my foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more.
Yes I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith
Yes I've got to have faith faith faith
I've got to have faith faith faith
Be-fore this river be-comes an ocean
Be-fore you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider my foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more.
'Cause I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith
'Cause I've got to have faith faith faith
I've got to have faith faith faith
Intro: C D C D C D G Em
This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open
up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
'Cause who's to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing in my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
[Chorus]
If you want it Come and get it
Crying out loud The love that I was
Giving you was Never in doubt
Let go of your heart Let go of your head And feel it now
Let go of your heart Let go of your head And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining sky is fading red to blue
Kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there In front of me
[Chorus]
Standin at the door of the pink Flamingo
crying in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,
You and I had to be
the standing joke of the year,
You were a runaround, a lost and found
and not for me I feel,
[Chorus]
Take your hands off me, hey,
I don't belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time,
I never knew you,
you never knew me,
Say hello goodbye,
Say hello and wave goodbye,
We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt
and me in a suit but it just wasn't me,
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess,
so insecure you see,
I put up with all the scenes,
this is one scene that's goin to be played my way
(Chorus)
Say hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red light
I can see the make-up slidin down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up
so take off that unbecoming frown,
As for me, well I'll find someone
who's not goin cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life
and not keep going off the rails,
(Chorus) Say hello and wave goodbye (repeated)
Mrs. Landers was a health nut,
She cooked food in a wok,
Mr. Harris was her boyfriend,
and he had a great big
Cockadoodle doodle
the rooster just won't quit,
And I don't want any breakfast,
because it tastes like
Shitzu make good housepets,
they're cuddly and sweet,
Monkeys aren't good to have,
because they beat their
Meeting in the office
or meeting in the hall,
The boss he wants to see you,
so you can suck his
Balzak was a writer,
he lived with Allen Funt,
Mrs. Roberts didn't like him,
that's cos she's a
Contaminated water
can really make you sick,
Your bladder gets infected
and blood comes out your
Dictate what I'm saying,
cause it will bring you luck,
And if you all don't like it,
I don't give a flying ----.
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
[Chorus]
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
[Chorus]
I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and family I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of a railway station running scared
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
[Chorus] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la lie Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there
Ooo-la-la la la la la
[Chorus]
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading Going Home
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down or cut him 'till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am Leaving, I am Leaving." But the Fighter still remains
[Chorus] X2
The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of mv first marriage
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received In Graceland
She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow
I'm going to Graceland
Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
My traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received In Graceland
There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flylng
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Oh, so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blow
In Graceland, in Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland
And I may be obliged to defend
Everv love, every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland
Repeat and fade:
