Kevin Ayers Album

What can I give you, girl
Something that you've never had
Something that'll make you glad...
in your heart.

What can I show you, girl
Something that you've never seen
Yeah, somewhere that you've never been...
never been before.

What can I tell you
Something that you've never heard;
Can I find a special word
To say what I mean.

And, I'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are,
'Cause I'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are.

What can I give you, girl,
I can give my share of time;
That's the only thing that's mine
To give.

What can I show you, girl,
I can show you all I see
And if you'll believe in me
I won't let you down.

What can I tell you,
I can tell you anything;
But I know I'd rather sing
Rather sing the song.

And, I'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are,
'Cause I'm feeling like a million
Sparkling stars;
Floating in the magic of what you are.

Whatever happened to Mr Cool
Somebody took him back to school
He thought he knew but he did not
Now his name is Mr Hot.

Oh Mr Hot, Mr Hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no

Whatever happened to Know-It-All
Knew how to climb but not to fall
He had to fall from so high above
The only place deep enough was love.

Oh Mr Hot, Mr Hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no

Banana, banana

Sleep in between two beds is a fiddle
you're bound to fall through the hole in the middle
You want your cake and eat it too
One day the cake turn around and eat you

Oh Mr Hot, Mr Hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no

Whatever happened to Mr Cool
Somebody took him back to school
He thought he knew but he did not
Now they call him Mr Hot.

[No lyrics]

Falling in love again, I never wanted to
But what am I to do, I can't help it
Love's always been my game, play it how I may
I was made that way, I can't help it

Girls flutter to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I am not to blame

Falling in love again, I never wanted to
But what am I to do, I can't help it

[No lyrics]

When the angostura runs a little low
And your gin has lost that soft and roosy glow
And time is rushing by, but it seems slow
Just live dangerously once before you go

If you take the bite right out of Mr. Snake
He'll assume the reputation of a fake
Until someone comes along, someone fearless someone strong
And gives that Mr. Snake a mighty shake

But who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shale with a snake?

I ask you.

[No lyrics]

Tonight I'm full of doubts and fears
Looks like another night of tears
You're not here so I can't turn to you

Now I know what needing someone really means
Yes I do,
And I need you

It's so hard when you're not here
I believe but I still fear
It's so hard not knowing where you are

Now I know what missing someone really means
Yes I do,
And I miss you

Still don't know just where you are
Distances are all too far
Are you well or are you crying too?

Now I know what loving someone really means
Yes I do,
And I love you

yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

i have a blue house with a blue window.
blue is the colour of all that i wear.
blue are the streets and all the trees are blue.
i have a girlfriend and she is so blue.
blue are the people here that walk around,
blue like my corvette, it's standing outside.
blue are the words i say and what i think.
blue are the feelings that live inside me.

Who wants to shake with a snake?

I ask you.

Sometimes I get too drunk,
I feel so goddamned low
I have no place to go, no one to turn to
I think about your loving arms, where I'd like to be
But it's selfish as can be, and I know it
And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you too
'Cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning

So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout

I won't say that I love you, 'cause that would be a lie
I can only say I try, and you know it
Love is something more or less than words can hope to say
It's something day to day in the life we're living
Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find
Yes I can count all mine on one finger

So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout

The distance that's between us, it just never seems to change
There's a whole mountain range of misunderstanding

So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout
