Here come the nice lookin' so good
He makes me feel like no one else could
He knows what I want, he's got what I need
He's always there if I need some sweet

Here come the nice (It's understood)
Here come the nice (He'll make you feel so good)
I'd be just like him (If I only could)
You know you should

You know you should meet the man
The man gonna help you all he can
You don't need money to be wise

Here come the nice (It's understood)
Here come the nice (He makes me feel so good)
I'd be just like him (If only could)
You know you should

Here come the nice lookin' so cool
Everyone knows the nice is no fool
He'll bring you up and show you around
He's always there when your feet hit the ground

Here come the nice (It's understood)
Here come the nice (God he makes me feel good)
I'd be just like him (If I only could)
You know you should

You know you got to try to meet the man
This man's gonna teach you all he can
Ha! You don't need money (Money)
Money to open your eyes

Here come the nice (It's understood)
Here come the nice (God, he makes me feel good)
I'd be just like him (If I only could)

Here come the nice (Oh baby, baby, baby)
Here come the nice (Here come the nice)
I'd be just like him (If I only could)
You know you should

Marriott

I was nowhere, til you changed my mind.
Love is sent through being good to you.
Then you were somewhere, Somewhere hard to find
Only what you always were, it's true.

I'm looking for an open door, where I can sit and play in peace and quiet.

Tomorrow changes.
Fields of green today,
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
We were strangers.
And then you came to stay,
The sweetest spring old morning sings to me.
So now I've found a living sound,
That moves, that breathes, and then makes love to me.

. . .

Collibosher

[No lyrics]

I thought you'd listen to my reason
But now I see you don't hear a thing
Got to make you see how it's got to be
Yes if it's all right
All or nothing yeah yeah
All or nothing
All or nothing for me
Things could work out just like I want them to
If I could have the other half of you
You know I would if I only could
Yes it's yeah
All or nothing oh yeah
All or nothing if I could I'd say
All or nothing for me
Pa pa pa pa ta pa pa pa ta ta
Pa pa pa pa ta pa pa pa ta ta
I ain't telling you no lie girl
So don't just sit there and cry girl
All or nothing (oh no)
All or nothing (oh yeah)
All or nothing (gotta gotta gotta keep on tryin')
All or nothing ......
(For me, for me, for me we're not children...)

Hardin

Bought myself a red balloon and a blue surprise
Cause hidden in the read balloon was a peny for my eyes

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Oh blue surprise
She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue surprise

Played with toys for children as a child I got
Haven't any time for children although I've got a lot, hey

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Oh blue surprise
She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue surprise

Blue surprise, yeah

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Oh blue surprise
She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue surprise

Yeah, blue surprise
Blue surprise, yeah

Blue surprise
Blue surprise
Vishnu's eyes
Loving eyes

Blue surprise
Blue surprise
Vishnu's eyes

Loving eyes

Marriott-Lane

Oh, can't you see ? It's not me you're looking for
I'm not the one to show you the way
The answer is you, it was and will always be
The answer is you and certainly not me.

It's not this I say for wanting to hurt you
But this I say for wanting to help
Please, see the good and don't see the bad in me
The good and the bad are both in yourself.

Oh, please, don't grow, don't grow to depend on me
Don't lean on me ‘cause I might let you down.

Make (???) now, tomorrow may never be
Make (???) now and don't turn around
But look for the light that's so bright you cannot see
Look for the light and don't look for me.

. . .


Wouldn't it be nice, to get on with me neighbours
But they make it very clear, they've got no room for ravers
They stop me from groovin', they bang on me wall
They're doing me crust in, it's no good at all, ah!
Lazy Sunday afternoon
I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away
'ere we all are, sitting in a rainbow
Gore blimey hello Mrs Jones, how's your Bert's lumbago? (mustn't grumble)
I'll sing you a song with, no words and no tune
To sing in your khazi, while you flush out the moon, oh yeah!
Lazy Sunday afternoon
I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away
Roo dee doo dee doo, roo dee doo dee die day
Roo dee doo dee dum, roo dee doo dee doo dee
There's no-one to hear me, there's nothing to say
And no-one can stop me, from feeling this way, yeah
Lazy Sunday afternoon
I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift away
Lazy Sunday afternoon
I've got no mind to worry
Close my eyes and drift a-
Close my mind and drift away
Close my eyes and drift away

. . .


Marriott-Lane

I know how you're feeling,
I've felt that way too,
So don't get hung up,
'Cos it's healing,
And I'm gonna help you through it all.

Listen baby,
I can make it if you can,
I can take it if you can,
I know that your heart's strong,
I know that you'll hold on.
I can't make it without you,
(No,no ,no)
I can't make it without you,
So open up your mind,
As well as your heart,
I can't go on knowing you're not near me,
No, no no no.

I know that I could love you,
'Cos you kissed me with your eyes,
But if you ain't got the strength to make it with me,
Then I can't sympathise,

Now listen, baby,
I can make it if you can,
Hey, yeah
I can take it if you can,
My, my, my
I know that your heart's strong,
Hey, yeah,
I know that you'll hold on.
Listen,
I can't make it without you,
(No,no ,no)
I can't make it without you,
You know it's true girl,
Ha, you know it's true girl,
I can't make it without you,
So get yourself together and under control,
And take me baby before I decide to go,
Yeah, yeah ,yeah yeah yeah,yeah, yeah,
Yeah, I gotta keep on trying for you,
Heah, I can't make it without you,
No, no,no,no no,no,
No, heah, I gotta sing this song one more time,
Heah, I can't, I can't I can't (fade)

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your...

Love,love is all around me
Everywhere
Love has come to touch my soul
With someone who really cares
No one can deny us
People who once passed me by
Will turn their heads 'round

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

You
Yes you have always been here
Feeling deep inside
A feeling that I could not see
Or touch, or try to hide
My love is in and around you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen up baby

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Love is like a voice in my head
Keeps turning 'round the things that we said

I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

. . .

There's such a lot of good ways to be bad
And so many bad ways to be good
Haven't paid my rent yet
I tell them
'Sorry, but I haven't got the money anymore'
Just for the day I thought I'd leave love alone
Hold hands with day
And if I'm so bad why don't they take me away
Just like what you hear with a shell pressed to your ear
That's the sea in the trees in the morning
And on the universal
Good morning, Steve
Well you won't believe me today
Working doesn't seem to be the perfect thing for me
So I continue to play
And if I'm so bad why don't they take me away
Well a hippy-trippy name dropper came through my door
He said, I just bumped into Mick, he told me you know where to score.
No not me friend
I mind my own and my own minds me
Well my love is at the foot of your hand
Come what may
But if June comes first, please won't you take me away

. . .


Goodbye sunshine I'm on my way
I'll be long time gone by the break of day
Tell everyone that I'm gonna find it
There ain't nothin' gonna stop me -
Rollin' Over, Rollin' Over
Save all your lovin' till I get home
To the sweetest lovin' sunshine that I've ever known
Tell everyone that I'm gonna find it
There ain't nothin' gonna stop me -
Rollin' Over, Shak-do-way
Rollin' Over, Yeah-yeah-yeah....

. . .


If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

If a tinker were my trade
would you still find me,
Carrying the pots I made,
Following behind me.

Save my love through loneliness,
Save my love for sorrow,
I'm given you my onliness,
Come give your tomorrow.

If I worked my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes I would,
I'll put you above me."

If I were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,
would you miss your color box,
and your soft shoe shining?

If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

. . .


Cobb

Every little bit hurts [x2]
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
Yet you won't let me go

Every little hurt counts [x2]
You say you're coming home
Yet you never phone
Leave me all alone
My love is strong for you
I'd do wrong for you

I can't take this loneliness you've given me
I can't go on giving my life away

[Bridge:]
Come back to me
Darling you'll see
I can give you all the things that you wanted before
If you will stay with me

Every little bit hurts [x2]
To you, I'm a toy
& you are the boy
Who has to say when I should play
Yeah, you hurt me, desert me

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

Every little bit hurts

Marriott-Lane

I sit here everyday,
Looking at the sky,
Ever wondering why,
I dream my dreams away,
And I'm living for today,

In my minds eye.
Things are clearer than before,
Showing me the way,
Asking me to stay,
I'll never close the door,
To all these things and more,

In my minds eye.
Everybody I know says I'll change, yeh,
Laughing behind their hands,
I think they're strange.
People running everywhere,
Running through my life,
I couldn't give a care,
Because they'll never see
All that I can see,
With my minds eye.
Aah - ha - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Ha - ha - ha - ha.
In my minds eye.
Aah - ha - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Ha - ha - ha - ha
MODS FUCKING RULE

. . .


I am a little tin soldier
That wants to jump into your fire
You are a look in your eye
A dream passing by in the sky

I don't understand
All I need is treat me like a man
'Cause I ain't no child
Take me like I am

I got to know that I belong to you
Do anything that you want to do
Sing any song that you want me to sing to you

I don't need no aggravation
I just got to make you
I just got to make you my occupation

I got to know that I belong to you
Do anything that you want to do
Sing any song that you want me to sing to you

All I need is your whispered hello
Smiles melting the snow nothing heard
Your eyes are deeper than time
Say a love that won't rhyme without words

So now I've lost my way
I need help to show me things to say
Give me your love before mine fades away

I got to know that I belong to you
Do anything that you want to do
Sing any song that you want me to sing to you

oh no no
I just want some reaction
Someone to give me satisfaction
All I want to do is stick with you
'Cause I love you

. . .


Marriott-Lane-O'Sullivan

One and-a two and-a three and-a four and-a
This feeling of spring like the wing of a bird that is flying,
The nights they go cold as my mind does go old and I'm looked at,
A Inspected, hated, accepted
The wise men they wrangle, their minds look for angles and meaning (meaning!),
But the ceiling is light as I glide through the night and I'm leaving,
Living, being, mmm - mmm - mmm

. . .


Over Bridge of Sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreaming spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been

(What did you do there?) I got high
(What did you feel there?) Well, I cried
(But why the tears there?) Tell you why
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

I'll tell you what I'll do (What will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school (Won't that be cool?)
Why go to learn the words of fools?

(What will we do there?) We'll get high
(What will we touch there?) We'll touch the sky
(But why the tears there?) I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
Ha

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

. . .


Marriott-Lane

Wide Eyed Girl On The Wall

[No lyrics]

I want you to know that I love you baby
Want you to know that I care

I'm so happy when you're round me but I'm
Sad when you're not there
Sing the song now!

(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Oh Yeah
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Tell the truth
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) She's so nice
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?)

I want you to give your sweet sweet kisses
Want you to hold me tight

I want you to come whenever I call you
And let me walk you home at night

(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Eh Yeah
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Please answer my question baby!
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) She's so nice
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?)

I want you to know that I love you baby
I said this before but that I care

I'm so happy when you're round me but I'm
Sad when you're not there
Baby they it comes again

(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Oh Yeah
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Cause I'm so crazy
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) You're too
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?)
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?)

. . .


Well she was a lady of charm
A string of your voice on each arm
She was good to those who took of all there clothes
or played guitar
love comes, days go, any ways your mind blows
Wham bam, thank you mam
We'll boogie till the rooster crows
Oh yeah
We lived this way for so long
You said pain never hurt anyone
Oh no no no
Surprise surprise, sunshine on the floor
streacher out the door
and that was it it it
God forsaken empry shell forgoten in a bad smell
Wham bam look out sam the devil claims his own to mourning hell
Sha la la la Shang a dorang shang a lang lang
Shang a lang mama, Sing it mama
Say it yes yes
Close your breath and hold your eyes
Turn the corner, a surprise, and there you are
Well, our lives are run by ego freak
a walking book of rules he seeks
to keep you in your pidgeon hole
And bash you if your soul steps out of line
C'mon
