All night long,
Someone’s trying to believe he’s strong.
Will he make it by the break of the day?
Who can say whose power is growing.
I can’t wait for winds to blow my way.
Let them shake the world, I know I know my way,
I know that songs that died unsung knew their way too.
Most songs do, most songs do.
Take the bottle, fill your cup;
Don’t miss the part where I fold up;
Annie’s going to sing her song
Called “Take Me Back Again;”
Come on, Annie, sing your song
And I’ll take you back again.
I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my Bonnie bride.
The roses all have left your cheek.
I’ve watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when e’er you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes.
Hello to married men I’ve known
I’ll soon have a wife an’ leave yours alone.
A bonnie wife indeed,
And she’s all I’ll ever need.
With bonnie Jean my days will fly;
An’ love her I will till the day I die.
That’s why, across the green,
I’ll go home with bonnie Jean!
Jeanny! Quit living on dreams
Jeanny! Life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There’s someone who needs you
Jeanny! Quit living on dreams
Jeanny! Life is not what it seems
You’re lost in the night, don’t wanna struggle and fight
There’s someone, who needs you!
There is someone walking behind you
Turn around, look at me
There is someone watching your footsteps
Turn around, look at me
There is someone who really needs you
Here’s my heart in my hand
Turn around, look at me
Turn around, turn around
There’s a thing there that can be found
Turn around, turn around
It’s a human skull on the ground
Human skull on the ground
Turn around
Don’t turn around
Cause you’re gonna see my heart breaking
Don’t turn around
I don’t want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It’s tearing me apart that you’re leaving
I’m letting you go
But I won’t let you know
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
Now you all were saying that you want to be free
But you’ll come runnin’ back (I said you would baby)
You’ll come runnin’ back (like I told you so many times before)
You’ll come runnin’ back to me, yeah
Down the trail and around the farm
Come a thousand people with their underwear on
Picking 'em up, laying 'em down like mad
Puffing and groaning, their faces all red
Eyes rolled back in their sweaty heads
I never saw so many people look so bad
Crying “Come on, Harry! Come on, Sue
We’re gonna do what the magazines tell us to
Get ourselves in shape the fashionable way
Twenty-five laps around the pond
Will make us tall and slim and blonde
Oh, hand me down my jogging shoes today”
Then I woke up,
And I was not a tiger, or an elephant.
I was not an alligator - crocodile? - no, alligator!
I was not a dancing bear or a tall giraffe.
I was only me… and that’s the way I’ll be,
Oh, that’s the way I’ll be.
I enjoy being an oyster!
But if green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder, why wonder
I’m green and it’ll do fine
It’s beautiful and I think it’s what I want to be.
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down
So don’t you bring me down today
