As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love’s the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I’ll be loving you always
I’ll be loving you always
With a love that’s true always
When the things you’ve planned
Need a helping hand
I will understand always, always
If you’ve got a problem, I don’t care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this
I can help, I’ve got two strong arms, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help
Hang on, help is on its way
I’ll be there as fast as I can
Hang on, a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man
Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And everybody, yeah, tries to put my Sloopy down (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sloopy, I don’t care what your daddy do (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
'Cause you know, Sloopy, girl, I’m in love with you (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And so I say now
Hang on, Sloopy
Sloopy, hang on
Hang on, Sloopy
Sloopy, hang on
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke-up
I wanna go home
Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam
Where the dear and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard, a discouragin’ word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb, burn with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I’ve got that feeling once again
I can’t explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
20, 20, 24 hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothin’ to do, nowhere to go-oh
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do to save his life
Call his wife in
Nothing to say but “What a day
How’s your boy been?”
I’m not trying to be your hero
'Cause that zero is too cold for me
I’m not trying to be your highness
'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
And I’m not stuffing, believe you me
Don’t you remember I told ya
I’m a soldier in the war on poverty
I’m Zero the Hero
And my head has floated away
in the sky, don’t know why
And now this spaceship
headin’ for me
I thought I was lost
in the spaces
and now all these faces
And still I can’t tell
if it’s really a spell
or exactly
what’s happenin’ to me
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin’
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children cryin’ and colors flyin’
All around the chosen ones
In this life, I’ve seen everything I can see, woman
I’ve seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I’ve seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I’ve seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I’ve seen old men crying at their own gravesides
And I’ve seen pigs all sitting watching picture slides
But I never seen nothin’ like you
Have you seen the saucers?
For the earth mother?
Do you know there are people out there,
Tranquility base, there goes the neighborhood;
Who are unhappy with the way that we care,
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft
You’ve been observing our Earth
And we’d like to make
A contact with you
I was born on this rock
And I’ve been travelin’ through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin’ cats would do if you could
Strange beautiful grass of green
With your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over, we’ll be there and we’ll see you
Ten true summers, we’ll be there and laughing, too
Twenty-four before my love, you’ll see I’ll be there with you
