My Brother Jake (Bonus Track on the Japanese Version)
. . .


So we started in the cornfield
And I know we did not slack
We got everything in order
But we forgot to bring the bucket back
The foreman he went crazy
And ran around the field
Said we must be lazy
Had to be seen to be believed
Seen to be believed.

But it was a long way
From this highroad
It was a far away from here.

The farmer had a daughter
And she worked at the wishing well
Put one leg in the water
'til she found the mission bell
The old man went crazy
And ran to get his gun
We had a bad time explaining
We were just having drunken fun
Just having drunken fun.

But it was a long way
From this high road, Oh!
It was a long way from here
So we walked along this road
Just tellin' stories as we go
We just walk along.

Well the farmer had a daughter
And she did not speak a word
We used to kiss her in the orchard
Till one morning we were overheard
The old man he went crazy
Running around the field
Said we must be crazy
Had to be seen to be believed
Seen to be believed

. . .


I went down to the centre of town
And my feet was a burning ground
She stood on the corner merrily as can be
I said hey good lookin won't you come with me
She said yeah
I am the stealer
Came to steal your love

The sun was shining
The world was right
I said "tell me baby wha'cha doin' tonight"
I'm goin' round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
Won't you come on round
I said yeah!
I'm the stealer
Come to steal your love

Steal your love oh yeah!

Goin' round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
Won't you come on round
I said yeah
I am the stealer
Come to steal your love

Steal your love
Steal your love
Steal your love

I am going to steal you love away
I am going to steal you love away
Steal your love

. . .


She talks to me of wisdom
We walk beside the sun
Rainy night and rainy day
Might as well keep away
I've got trouble on the run
Weariness
Weariness has left my friend
My head goes round
And round again
On my way and I might be late
I don't worry
Every thing can wait

She talks to me of feelin'
Feelin' good
And feelin' better
Once upon a time I thought
I could love around and not get caught
But I'd never met her
Weariness, weariness has left my friend
Head goes round
And round again
I'm on my way
And I might be late
I don't worry every thing can wait

Do you mean
When you say you'll be mine
I want you to be mine
All mine
Weariness
Weariness has left my friend
My head goes round
And round again
On my way and i might be late
I don't worry
Every thing can wait
Every thing can wait

. . .


Mmm...mmm...

All i need...
Is a friend
Someone to give me, a helpin' hand
When i'm afraid, in the night
Someone to squeeze me
And tell me, it's all right

You know i worry
huh
Such a lot
And i would give, all i've got
Just to have, someone believe in me
Just to do that, and put me back on evenly
Listen...

Baby, baby
Be my friend
Baby, baby
Be my friend
Baby, baby
Be my friend
I will love you, till the very end

Whoa, oh, ooh, ooh

You make me feel
A stronger love
Than anyone, i've ever known
Oh, i need, someone like you
You give me something, so strong and true

Oh, baby, baby
Be my friend
Baby, baby
Be my friend (yeah yeah)
Baby, baby
Be my friend
I will love you, till the very end

Won't ya, Won't ya baby, baby, baby, baby
Be my friend...
I will love ya, i will love ya, till the very end
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Baby, baby, baby, baby
I will love you
I need your lovin' baby

M-na m-na m-na m-na...(fades)

Oh, sunny day
Melting away
Oh sunny day
Melting away
Some say she was good for no one
But I say
She was bad for every one
Help me now' cause I feel
I'm fallin'
Maybe somehow
You will hear me callin'

Baby you didn't take everything
If you want it
You know I would bring
All the love you left behind
When you said goodbye.

Oh sunny day
Melting away
Oh sunny day
Melting away

Inside she was really nothing
I was a fool and I gave her everything
Help me now
'Cause I feel I'm fallin'
Maybe somehow you will hear me callin'
Baby you didn't mean what you said
Things that you told me
Are still in my head
And though it's too late
I realise all you did was lie.

Oh sunny day
Melting away
Oh sunny day
Falling away

. . .


Baby won't you tell me
What you're tryin' to do
You don't mean to say
That our love is through
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've go to see it through

I lives on the moutain
A hundred mile from town
That's a long way to go
Baby now
But soon I'm gonna be around
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've got to see it through
Baby now

I'm gonna steal you baby away with me
I want to love you
Because you see
I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right

Sometimes when I am loney
I think about your face, baby
So I get on my pony
And I ride over your place
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've go to see it through

I wanna take you, far away
I wanna love you, no matter what you say
Because I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right.

I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right.

I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right

. . .


And by the way before you go
I'd like to say
I love you so
If it's goodbye maybe for good
I will not cry
Maybe I should
And I
I love you so

Oh how this year has slipped away
We shed no tears
So why today
And all this time has made me feel
Love is no crime
And love is real
And I
Ooh! and I love you so
And I ooh I love you so

Remember me when you're far away
I'll remember you
No matter where I stay

And by the way before you go
I like to say
I love you so
And all this time has made me feel
Love is no crime and love is real
Maybe I should
And I
I ooh I love you
I ooh I love you so
Ooh I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you and I love you baby
More then words can say
I know you can't stay
I love you anyway
Baby I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you babe
I got to say
Anyway I love you baby

Bodie came from the hills
To see the world
Looking for different thrills
He found a girl
Showed him the city sights
Opened his eyes wide
No he finds
Bodie had changed his mind
Changed his mind

Came from the heart of town
She was no fool
Keeping him hanging around
She played it cool
Showed him the good life
And made herself his wife
Now he finds
Bodie had changed his mind
Changed his mind

I did not come
Just to lose my way
Things I've done there anyway
Bodie came from the hills
To see the world
Looking for different thrills
He found his girl
Showed him the good life
And made herself his wife
Now he finds
Bodie has changed his mind
Changed his mind

. . .


Watch my hand
Writing this last letter
Watch my hand
Knowing I won't forget her
No I won't forget her

Take my things
Every thing is over
All my things
Leave behind my love
Leave behind my love
La la la
La la la
La la la

Now lighing a cigarette
Now knowing I will regret
The way our love had to end
In her room
Standing alone
All alone

Soon I will be gone
Soon I will
Soon I will
Soon I will be gone
Soon I will
Soon I will
Soon I will be gone

. . .


My brother Jake,
Hat, shades,
Head in a daze.
My brother Jake,
Have you though about
Changin' your ways?

He goes out
He don't have no doubt
He don't have to know
What the world's about.

My brother Jake,
Head, down,
It's a scrapin' the ground,
Jake, stay away,
You know you can always be down

He goes out
He don't have no doubt
He don't have to know
What the world's about.

I said Jake,
Now won't you wait,
What's got into you,
Your candle is burning
The wheels are turning
What you gonna do?

My brother Jake,
Wont you start again
Try makin' some friends
Jake, it's not too late
To start again, by making amends

He goes out
He don't have no doubt
He don't have to know
What the world's about.

I said Jake,
Now won't you wait,
What's gone wrong with you,
Your candle is burning
The wheels are turning
What you gonna do?

I said Jake,
Don't you wait,
What's gone wrong with you,
Your candle is burning
The wheels of time are turning
Uh! What you gonna do?

I said Jake, Jake, Jake,
Don't you wait, wait. wait,
What's got into you,
Your candle is burning
The wheels of time are turning
Uh! What you gonna do?

Listen, I'm gonna break you Jake,
Because you got what it takes
To give a whole lotta people
Some... soul.
