Words and music Neil Young

Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with the fish on the line

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had

Something so hard to find
A situation, that could casualise your mind

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothin' on those feelings that I had.

Baby mellow my mind 
Make me feel, like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with a fish on the line.

Words and music Mick Hucknall

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning

Raised up in a way that I can value
All the material things that I could ever really need don't matter
So many ways that I can thank you
But you know that I am here and no-one else in this world will matter

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
It's true, it's you that's got me yearning

For a love that will last forever
Wishing that somebody somewhere
Would break through these wrought iron doors and just smile
Because I'm blue

I can't get emote to try and tell you
All the love that I have 
Am I ever gonna make it happen?
So many ways that I can thank you
But you know that I'm here and no-one else in this
world will matter

I'm blue, blue like a Monday morning
It's true, it's you that's got me yearning

Because I'm blue. Nobody knows that I'm blue

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

Being one of those grains of sand
I get blown all around the world
And what I make of it
Oh I don't know
What's the meaning of it
Oh I don't know

I've been around so many times
That the worlds turning in my mind
What do I think of it
Oh it's so so

What more can you be than the things they say you've been

Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me
Just say you love me

I never ever realised
It's so easy to make you cry
But did I break a bit
Oh I hope no
Have you forgot about it
Oh I hope so

But you never ever wonder why
In every single pair of eyes
There is a hunger in it
Or it's soul dies

What more can you be than the things they say you've been

Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl

Say you love me all around the world
Stay and hug me all around the world
Be yours a boy or be mine a girl
Just say you love me

Come on now darling, say you love me
Oh yeah, please please say you love me
Come on say you love me

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

To be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth

Yeah to be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth

For to be is to feel and to be real is to see

You want more
You say you want me
He left us alone as day was dawning

You got more
Did you get me
Red sleeps after sunrise has fallen

You hard core
You're hard on me
You're dressed up at dawn way before me

Bereft as the sunlight was falling upon me

To be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth

To be free
Or to feel free
The first one is a myth

To be is to feel and to be real is to see

To come is so organic unbelievable
A solitary sign to open up your mind
A love that's so organic unbelievable
A solitary sign to open up your mind

Open up your mind

. . .


Words and music Hammond/Hazelwood

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Words and music Mick Hucknall

Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life

Fear has no reason to doubt them
They tell me so
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life

Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life

Piano solo

Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life

Storms may rage on about them
They hail and snow
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life

Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life

. . .

Lyrics re-written by William Turpin & Stevie J Jordan

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Can't think of anything I need

All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe 
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
I'm just living to love you

All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe 
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
I'm just living to love you

Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

All I do is think about you
Girl I just can't live without you
You know, I love you
All I do is think about you
Girl I just can't live without you
You know, I love you

All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
I'm just living to love you

. . .


Words and music Gregory Isaacs & Sylvester Weise

Tell her try her best just to make it quick
Woman tend to the sick
Because there must be something she can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell her it's a case of emergency
There's a patient by the name of Mickey

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse, Oh God
Oh the pain is getting worse

I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy

My night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst

My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love

I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst

My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
And I'm sure, no ,no doctor got a cure

My night nurse 
My night nurse
My night nurse

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

Now I am a broken man, Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man, Now I am a broken man

It's no good being here with me
I'm a little scared of the things you see
It's no good having friends at all
They do me no good, they don't do me no good at all

It's no good living in the past
It's no good at all you know it don't last
It's no good making a change
There's nothing to change I don't want to rearrange

But what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you

So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man

I saw my shadow on the wall
It looked at me then left me
I'm hoping somebody will call
But I hope they don't come and get me at all

Because what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you

So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man

Re-written by Mick Hucknall

This one's going out to you girl, wherever you may be
I may not be the way you wanted it, I got a need to be free
Yet I know that I need someone and I'm calling out to you
Come get me girl, come get me baby,
I need you, I need you in my life

Whatever it takes to change girl, maybe I'll do it for you
If you can go as deep as I go, baby I'm gonna need you
I want you to be my girl, I want you to be my world
Not any night, not always in my life, I need you

I want you to be my girl, I want you to be my world
Not any night not always, but when it's right for you and me
Alright when it's alright, hey in my life

She'll be there and don't you worry
Keep looking and just keep cooking

. . .


Words and music Dennis Brown

Stay at home, now
That little girl was born on the ghetto side of town
She knows every trick in the book and she certainly gets around
She's been with many men since she was only ten
She never stay at home, she's always on the town

Your mamma is wondering where you are
What do you see at night when you're under the stars

Stay at home
Sister stay at home
Don't let your mamma down
Don't be a run around

Stay at home
Sister stay at home
Don't let your mamma down
Don't be a run around
Stay at home, now

That little girl was born on the ghetto side of town
She knows every trick in the book and she certainly gets around
She's been with many men since she was only ten
She never stay at home, she's always on the town

Your mamma is wondering where you are
What do you see at night when you're under the stars
Baby keep on running and you won't get far
You like to travel with all those movie stars
You like a hangin' in the big long shiny cars

Sister stay at home
Don't let your mamma down, no no no no

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

Love has said goodbye again. See the road we go down
When the wind dies down come the tears
That bring a new beginning

Love has said goodbye again feel the road we go down
We are here but the way we are here is changing

There are many things here in this world
That make me laugh
Comes a dream, comes a dream
Hey Laugh Hey Laugh

Love has said goodbye again. Feel the road we go down
From the clear new year comes the dream of a new tomorrow

There are many things here in this world
Are gonna make me laugh
Comes a dream
Hey laugh, hey laugh, hey laugh

Love has said goodbye again. Feel the road we go down
From the clear new year comes the dream of a new tomorrow
From the clear new year comes the dream of a new tomorrow
From the clear new year comes the dream
Comes a dream

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

High fives, truly night jive
Living in the night time
Soul man, golden old man
Weathering the time sands

This whole rhythm gives me what I need
Praying hard as your lifetime
Praying hard as your lifetime
Praying hard as your lifetime goes by

White lines fooling my kind
Living for the night time
Hold hands, home in old land
Weathering the time sands

This whole rhythm gives me what I need
Praying hard as your lifetime
Praying hard as your lifetime
Praying hard as your lifetime goes by

Goes by
