Tommy James And The Shondells Album

Scarlet hoverin' my head
Pretty and red, pretty and red
Flowers dyin' in their bed
Oh, yeah

Why is everyone crying, mmm...hmm...
Don't you know you can see
Shining down on you and me, yeah

And the ball of fire in the sky, yeah
Keeps watching over you and I, way up high
And the ball of fire in the sky, come on
Keeps watching over you and I, way up high

And now the towers are fallin'
Tumblin' down, tumblin' down
Oh, can't you hear the angels callin'
Oh, yeah, listen

Mmm...shinin' through eternity
As it was, so it shall be, yeah

And the ball of fire in the sky, yeah
Keeps watching over you and I, way up high, yeah
And the ball of fire in the sky
Keeps watching over you and I, you and I, yes, it does

And the ball of fire in the sky, come on
It keeps watching over you and I, way up high, come on
And the ball of fire in the sky, yeah
Keeps watching over you and I, you and I, way up high

And the ball of fire in the sky, yeah
It keeps watching over you and I, way up high, ho
And the ball of fire in the sky, come on
It keeps watching over you and I, way up high

Look over yonder
What do you see?
The sun is a-risin'
Most definitely
A new day is comin', whoo-hoo
People are changin'
Ain't it beautiful, whoo-hoo
Crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready
Gonna see the light
Love, love is the answer, whoo-hoo
And that's all right
So don't you give up now, whoo-hoo
It's so easy to find
Just look to your soul (Look to your soul)
And open your mind

Crystal blue persuasion
Mm-hmm
It's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal
Blue persuasion

Maybe tomorrow
When he looks down
On every green field, whoo-hoo
And every town
All of his children
In every nation
There'll be peace and good
Brotherhood

You may be right, you may be wrong, girl.
I've been hurtin' much too long, girl.
You know, I think I've finally reached the end,
You keep tellin' me that guy's just a friend.
We've been all through it and you'll do it again.
Don't stand there tellin' me, girl, that you're so sorry
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.

You build me up, you let me down, girl.
I'm not the kind to fool around, girl.
If this guy really means so much more
Than all the happiness that we had before,
Just go ahead, girl, and walk out the door.
You know I can't go on, I'd rather see you gone.
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.

Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.

My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky!

My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky!

I saw her walking on down the line.
You know I saw her for the very first time.
A pretty little girl standing all alone.
Hey baby, can I take you home?
I never saw her, never really saw her.

My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky!

(solo)

I saw her walking on down the line.
You know I saw her for the very first time.
A pretty little girl standing all alone.
Hey baby, can I take you home?
I never saw her, never really saw her.

My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky!

My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky,
My baby does the Hanky Panky...

Oh
Now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
Crimson and clover

Ah
I wish she'd come walking over
Now I've been waiting to show her
Crimson and clover
Over and over

Yes (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
My, my, such a sweet thing (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
I want to do everything (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
What a beautiful feeling (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
Crimson and clover (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
Over and over

Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over

C'mon, everyone, we got to get together now
Oh, yeah, love's the only thing that matters anyhow
And the beauty of life
Can only survive
If we love one another

Oh, yeah, yesterday my friends were marching out to war
Oh, yeah, listen, now, we ain't a-marching anymore
No, we ain't gonna fight
Only God has the right
To decide who's to live and die

He gave us sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
(All day and night)
And everybody's gonna feel so fine
Drinking sweet cherry wine
Yes, they will

Watch the mountain turn to dust and blow away
Oh, Lord, you know there's got to be a better way
And the old masquerade
Is a no soul parade
Marchin' through the ruins of time

To save us, he gave us
Sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
Everybody's gonna feel so fine
Drinking sweet cherry wine

Oh, sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
C'mon, drink it with your brother
Trust in one another
Yeah, yeah
We need each other
Sweet cherry wine
Drink it right down
Pass it all around
People, don't you know
The cup is running over?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
Oh
Come on
Come on
Hey (Sweet)
Ooh
Ooh

Oh, the night is slipping away, femme jolie, femme jolie
And there's still so much left to say, femme jolie, femme jolie
Oh, we haven't got time, 'cause I'll be gone in the sunshine.

Oh my love, you've been good to me, femme jolie, femme jolie
I could love you so easily, femme jolie, femme jolie
Oh, what can I do now? Then I'm tellin' you now.

I'm only sugar on Sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
Only got one day to love me, yeah.
Sugar on sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
But I'll be your man tonight.

And the night is never to wait, femme jolie, femme jolie
Love me now, before it's too late, femme jolie, femme jolie
But we haven't got time, I'll be gone in the sunshine.

I'm only sugar on Sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
Only got one day to love me, yeah.
Sugar on sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
But I'll be your man tonight.

Oh, sugar on Sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
Only got one day to love me, yeah.
(repeat until fade out)

I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways
(Wait a second)
You're gone now
I run to touch you, but you vanish through the doorway
And, oh, how
Hard it is to live without you
I love everything about you
Now I know you're really gone
But my imagination is so strong
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
(Wait a second)

Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you?
I keep remembering the kissing in the doorways
The car, too
How it all comes back to me
The movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat
I want so much to have it like it used to be
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
(Here it comes again)

Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, something that I only see
Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, something that I only see

"Children, behave"
That's what they say when we're together
"And watch how you play"
They don't understand

And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew

And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
