Take it easy
Take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
I remember when,
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you’re out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
Remember is a place from long ago
Remember filled with ev’rything you know
Remember when you’re sad and feelin’ down
Remember turn around
Dream; love is only in a dream, remember.
Remember life is never as it seems. Dream.
Long ago, far away, life was clear, close your eyes.
Close your eyes. Count to three. Make a wish.
Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you’ll see
Into your imagination
We’ll begin with a spin
Trav’ling in the world of my creation
What we’ll see will defy
Explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world, there’s nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you’ll be free
If you truly wish to be
But in the depth of a dream
Where the grass is always so green
And the sky is always blue
I’m escaping silently
I’m rejecting violently
This world for something new
Imagination
Living mental isolation
Imagination
Imagination
Far from your contamination
Drifting in my inner space
Imagination
Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No Hell Below us
And above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will live as one.
Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will Mother Earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime
After all there’s only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time
I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
This pretty planet, spinning in space
You’re a garden, you’re a harbor, you’re a holy place
Golden sun going down
Gentle blue giant, spin us around
All through the night
Safe till the morning light
I don’t wanna be your friend now, baby
But I. I wanna move it just a little bit closer
All I know is that to me
You look like you’re lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
I ain’t lookin’ to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy or crucify you
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.
I don’t want you, wash my clothes
I don’t want you, keep a home
I don’t want you to be true
I just wanna make love to you
I don’t want you, be no slave
I don’t want you, work all day
I don’t want you to be true
I just wanna make love to you
I don’t want you, keep a home
I don’t want you, wash my clothes
I don’t want you to be true
I just wanna make love
Put another log on the fire
Cook me up some bacon & some beans
And go out to the car & change the tire
Wash my socks and blow my old blue jeans
Come on baby you can fill my pipe & then go fetch my slippers
And boil me up another pot of tea
Then put another log on the fire babe
And come & tell me why you’re leaving me
Six soccer socks walking down the stairs
Six soccer socks walking in pairs
Six soccer socks sure look neat
Six soccer socks, stepping to the beat
‘ve got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand.
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command.
A lively pair of heels that kick to beat the band.
Contemplatin’ nature can be fascinatin’.
Add to these a nose that I can thumb,
And a mouth by gum have I,
To tell the whole darn world if you don’t happen to like it deal me out,
Thankyou kindly Pass Me By
Well I’m still the same old me, that’s all I’ll ever be
I’d like to think that you’re the same old you
We lost something down the line that I wish we both could find
Lord I’d like to do the things that we used to do
When it was burgers and fries and cherry pies, it was simple and good back then
Walking in the sand hand in hand never thinking that it could end
Making our love with the moon above at the drive in picture show
And it was burgers and fries and cherry pies in a world we used to know
I remember when rock was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old, gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doin’ a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rockin’ ‘round the clock
We were hoppin’ and boppin’ to the Crocodile Rock.
Well, Crocodile Rockin’ is somethin’ shockin’
When your feet just can’t keep still
I never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will
Ow, Lordy mama, those Friday nights
When Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rock was out of sight.
Well, the years went by and rock just died
Susie went and left me for some foreign guy
Long nights cryin’ by the record machine
Dreamin’ of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But, they’ll never kill those thrills we got
Burnin’ up to the Crocodile Rock
Learnin’ fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
Do you remember those days hanging out
At the village green?
Engineer boots, leather jackets
And tight blue jeans
Drop a dime in the box play the
Song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights
My sweet romantic teenage nights
Brenda and Eddie were the
Popular steadies
And the king and the queen
Of the prom
Riding around with the car top
Down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the
Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more
Than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would
Always know how to survive.
Brenda and Eddy were still going
Steady in the summer of ‘75
When they decided the marriage would
Be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
“Brenda you know you’re much too lazy
Eddie could never afford to live that
Kind of life.”
But there we were wavin’ Brenda and
Eddie goodbye.
We were out on a date in my Daddy’s car
We hadn’t driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
The car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right
Never forget the sound that night
The cryin’ tires, the bustin’ glass
The painful scream that I heard last
Well, where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven
So I got to be good
So I can see my baby
When I leave this ol’ world
He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
Or how his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
He sort of smiled and kissed me good-bye
The tears were beginnin’ to show
As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I’ll never know
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Rememberin’ all the things we’d been through
At school they all stop and stare
I can’t hide the tears but I don’t care
I’ll never forget him, the leader of the pack
