Harry Nilsson Album

Nilsson

This is the town and these are The People
This is the town where The People all stay
This is the town and these are The People
That's the way they wanted it,
That's the way it's going to stay.
Everything's got 'em
Everything needs one
Wouldn't be without one
Everything has one
This is the town and these are The People
This is the town where The People all stay
That's the way they wanted it,
That's the way it's going to stay.

Me and my Arrow
straighter than narrow
where ever we go
everyone knows
it's me and my Arrow

Me and my Arrow
taking the high road
where ever we go
everyone knows
it's me and my Arrow

And in the morning when I wake up
she may be gone
I don't know
and if we make up just to break up
I'll carry on
oh yes I will

Me and my Arrow
straighter than narrow
where ever we go
everyone knows
it's me and my Arrow

Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow

Me and my Arrow
straighter than narrow
where ever we go
everyone knows
it's me and my Arrow

Nilsson

Poli-high, Poli-Technic, Poli-Technically High,
Poli-high,, Poli-Technically High,
Valley Low, Valley Low, Valley so low
Valley Low, Valley Low, Valley High
Had a game, had a game, had a technical game,
By the name, by the name, called a technical game,
Valley High, Valley High, Valley High
Poli, Low
Then de whistle blow
Then de whistle blow
Second half, second half, Poli come from behind.
Hold that line, Hold that line, Hold that line,
Far to go, going, slow, Poli come from behind.
Running out of the time.
Number Two, dressed in blue,
Make a run with the ball,
Hurry up Poli, pass Valley by
Then the rain start to fall,
Making fools of them all
And so it ends in a technical tie.

Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea
And think about the bubbles
You could take your teardrops
And drop them in a teacup
Take them down to the riverside
And throw them over the side
To be swept up by a current
And taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes
Who were eaten by some fishes
And swallowed by a whale
Who grew so old, he decomposed
He died and left his body
To the bottom of the ocean
Now everybody knows
That when a body decomposes
The basic elements
Are given back to the ocean
And the sea does what it ought'a
And soon there's salty water
(Not too good for drinking)
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
(So we run it through a filter)
And it comes out from the faucet
(And pours into a teapot)
Which is just about to bubble
Now
Think about your troubles

Down to the bottom
Hello, is there anybody else here?
It's cold and I'm so lonely
Hello, is there anybody else here?

Hello, won't you throw me down a Life Line?
I'm so afraid of darkness
And down here, it's just like night time

Oohs, are all around me
Hello, will you please send down a Life Line?

Down and there isn't any hope for me
Unless this dream which seems so real
Is just a fantasy

P.O.V. Waltz
- Harry Nilsson
And suddenly
The strangest things are happening
I hope it's not the last time
Last time
I had a drink or two
An hour so ago
It made me think of you
And now I know it's not the last time
Last time
Flying high up in the sky
I wonder why
I think I'm gonna fall
Think I'm gonna fall
There I go again, I'm up again, there I go again
I hope this isn't all
Hey.
As long as were up here
We might as well stay
In sweet harmony
Flying high up in the sky
I wonder why I have to have another
Point of view
To see me through
And now I think i'm gonna fall
I hope this isn't all
And on top of that
I hope it's not the last time

Are you sleeping? Can you hear me?
Do you know if I am by your side?
Does it matter if you hear me?
When the morning comes I'll be there by your side

And in the morning when I wake up
She may be telling me goodbye, la la la la
And in the evening if we break up
I'm wondering why, I'm wondering why

There was a time, we had a time
There was a time, we had a time
There was a time, there was a time
When you were mine

We had a time, we had a time
We had a time, oh what a time
There was a time, there was a time
When you were mine

And in the evening if we go out
Night time will find us at the show
Or we may decide to stay inside
You never know, you never know
You never know, you never know
You never know

Are you sleeping or can you hear me?
Do you know if I am by your side?
Does it matter if you hear me?
When the morning comes I'll be there by your side

La la la
La la la
