Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain’t got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home
'Cause my baby just wrote me a letter
Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife,
Say I won’t be coming home,
Gonna start a new life.
Take my hand
Come with me
Where the children are free.
Just to make their trouble nearly double
Something happen’d last night
To their chimney a gray bird came
Mister Stork is his name
And I’ll bet two pins
A pair of twins
Just happen’d in with the bird
Still they’re very gay and merry
Just at dawning I heard
Every morning
Every evening
Ain’t we got fun
Not much money
Oh but honey
Ain’t we got fun
Wild birds
Flock to me
Wild birds
Flock to me
You are the lamb, the king, the sun
Why do you hide away?
Put like a picture on the wall
No one to see your rays
You are inside of sight , an ark
The fountain of your youth
Come like a moth burn in the flame
Take us though the roof
Wild birds flock to me
Soaring rocks for company
Pure people work on me
Love’s own necessity
Come to my door, baby,
Face is clean and shining black as night.
My mother went to answer you know
That you looked so fine.
Now I could understand your tears and your shame,
She called you “boy” instead of your name.
When she wouldn’t let you inside,
When she turned and said
“But honey, he’s not our kind.”
Sugar, sugar
Ah, honey, honey
You are my candy, girl
And you got me wanting you.
You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed awaAnnotatey
Now here I go again, I see the crystal vision
I keep my visions to myself
It’s only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you’d like to sell,
Dreams of loneliness, like a heartbeat drives you mad
Loving you
Isn’t the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Baby I’d give you my world
How can I
When you won’t take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
So you think you’re a Romeo, playing a part in a picture-show
We take the long way home, take the long way home
Cos you’re the joke of the neighbourhood, why should you care if you’re feeling good
Take the long way home, take the long way home
There are times that you feel you’re part of the scenery, all the greenery is comin’ down boy
Then your wife seems to think you’re part of the furniture, oh it’s peculiar, she used to be so nice
And a lovestruck Romeo’s got a serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds that streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?
How did it come to be
That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time
Filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway…
So far away, doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so good to see your face at my door.
Wham, bam, thank you man,
Get inside my fucking gold Trans Am.
Wham, bam, thank you man,
Get inside my fucking gold Trans Am.
Roll me over, in the clover,
Roll me over, lay me down, and do it again.
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
You’re built like a car, you’ve got a hub cap diamond star halo
You’re built like a car, oh yeah
You’re an untamed youth that’s the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You’re dirty sweet and you’re my girl.
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on
