Wings Album

Walking down the sidewalk on a purple afternoon
I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune
Upon his flute, toot, toot, toot, toot
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town

People pass me by on my imaginary street
Ordinary people, it's impossible to meet
Holding conversations that are always incomplete
Well, I don't know

Oh, where are there places to go
Someone somewhere has to know
I don't know

Out of work again, the actor entertains his wife
With the same old stories of his ordinary life
Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife
Well, I don't know

Oh, where are there places to go
Someone somewhere has to know

Crawling down the pavement on a Sunday afternoon
I was arrested by a rozzer wearing a pink balloon
About his foot, toot, toot, toot, toot
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town

Someone somewhere has to know
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town

Cafe on the left bank, ordinary wine
Touching all the girls with your eyes
Tiny crowd Of Frenchmen 'round a TV shop
Watching Charles De Gaulle make a speech

Dancing after midnight, sprawling to the car
Continental breakfast in the bar
English-speaking people drinking German beer
Talking far too loud for their ears

Cafe on the left bank, ordinary wine
Touching all the girls with your eyes

Dancing after midnight, crawling to the car
Cocktail waiters waiting in the bar
English-speaking people drinking German beer
Talking way too loud for their ears

(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)
(Cafe on the left bank)

By dawn's first light I'll come back to your room again
With my carnation hidden by the packages
I'm carrying something
I'm carrying something for you

Ah, long time no see, baby, sure has been a while
And if my reappearance lacks a sense of style
I'm carrying something
I'm carrying something for you

I'm carrying
I'm carrying, can't help it
I'm carrying
I'm carrying something for you

I'm carrying something
I'm carrying something for you

Hey, did you know that I'm
Always going back in time
Rhyming slang, Auld Lang Syne my dears
Through the years

I'm the backwards traveller
Ancient wool unraveller
Sailng songs, wailing on the moon

I'm the backwards traveller
Ancient wool unraveller
Sailng songs, wailing on the moon
Wailing on the moon

And we were sailng songs, wailing on the moon
We were wailing on the moon

[No lyrics]

I know a tiny waterfall
A magic little place
Where we can play together
And watch the fishes race

Children, children where are you?
Hiding in the forest, playing in the rain
I hope you're not too far away
For me to see again

I know where there's a fairy
Who will invite us all to tea
But she won't let me in alone
You'll have to come with me

Children, children where are you?
Hiding in the forest, playing in the rain
I hope you're not too far away
For me to see again

(Start all over again)

I know a tiny waterfall
A magic little place
Where we can play together
And watch the fishes race

Children, children where are you?
Hiding in the forest, playing in the rain
I hope you're not too far away
For me to see again

Girlfriend
I'm gonna tell your boyfriend, yeah
Tell him
Exactly what you're doing, yeah

Tell him what you do to me
Late at night when the wind is free
Girlfriend

Girlfriend
I'm gonna show your boyfriend, yeah
Show him
The letters I've been saving, yeah

Show him how you feel inside
Then our love couldn't be denied, oh no
And we're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine

Till the river stops a-flowin'
Till the wind doesn't wanna blow
Till the flowers stop a-growin'
Till my love doesn't want to know

Yes, we're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine

Girlfriend
We'd Better Tell Your Boyfriend, yeah
Tell Him
Exactly What We're Doing, yeah

Tell him what he needs to know
Or he may never let you go, oh no
Yes, we're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine

Till the river stops a-flowin'
Till the wind doesn't wanna blow
Till the flowers stop a-growin'
Till the ocean's a sea of snow

Girlfriend

You're talking to me from the back of my car
And I can't get nothing right
And then you wonder why I satnd at the bar
Day and night

Well, I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no

You stand behind me witha watch in your hand
And I can't get nothing done
Well, people tell me you're a punctual man
But come on, come on

Well, I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no

I earn the money and you take it away
When I don't know where you're from
I should be worried but they say it'll pay
For a bomb

Well, I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no

Baby, you know sometimes you get a little weary
But if it ever happens honey
You just come along to me
Because you know

I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I've had enough
I can't put up with anymore
Now baby

I've had enough

With a little luck, we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
With a little love, we can lay it down
Can't you feel the town exploding?

There is no end to what we can do together (together)
There is no end, there is no end (there is no end)
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you

And a little luck, we can clear it up
We can bring it in for a landing
With a little luck, we can turn it on
There can be no misunderstanding

There is no end to what we can do together (together)
There is no end, there is no end (there is no end)
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
We can do it, just me and you

With a little push, we could set it off
We can send it rocketing skywards
With a little love, we could shake it up
Don't you feel the comet exploding?

(With a little luck)
(With a little luck)
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
(With a little luck) With a little luck
(With a little luck) We can help it out
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
We can make this whole damn thing work out

(With a little luck) With a little luck
(With a little luck) We can make it down
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Can you feel this town exploding?

(With a little luck) With a little luck, baby
(With a little luck) We can set it off
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Then we'll be rocketing skyward

(With a little luck) With a little luck
(With a little luck) We can shake it up
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Ooh yeah

With a little luck, we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
(With a little luck) With a little love
(With a little luck) We can lay it down
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Can't you feel the town exploding?

(With a little luck) With a little push
(With a little luck) We could set it off
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
We can send it rocketing skywards

(With a little luck) With a little love
(With a little luck) We could shake it up
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Don't you feel the comet exploding? Woah, woah, woah, ooh

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

Behold the famous groupies
They are alike as two peas
And where the other goes, the other goes

But though the famous groupies
Are only paid in Rupees
Nobody knows what the famous groupies know
And nobody goes where the famous groupies go

There was a bongo player
Who kept an extra layer
Of dunlopillo mattress in his van (in his van?)

But when the famous groupies
Arrived with their twin snoopies
Nobody saw which way the poor boy ran
'Cause nobody does it like a famous groupie can

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

There was a lead guitarist
Who lived in Epping Forest
And all he ever wanted to do was to blow

(Who knows why) But when the girls were with him
He never lost his rhythm
And nobody knows what the famous groupies know
Nobody goes where the famous groupies go

There was a classic story
Of a roadie nicknamed Rory
Who used to practice voodoo on the side

But when the famous twosome
Suggested something gruesome
All that they found was a crater two miles wide
Which left the muisc business absolutely horrified

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies

Ladies and gentlemen, theose magnificent examples of
Female pulchritude and luminosity, direct from their
Global perambulations to the very boards of this
Supremely magnificent proscenium arch
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you famous groupies

Well, the rain was a-fallin'
And the ground turned to mud
I was watching all the people
Running from the flood

So I started to prayin'
Though I ain't no prayin' man
For the Lord to come a helpin'
Knowing he'd understand

Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

Well, I had me a woman
She was good and clean
She spent all day
With the washing machine

But when it come to lovin'
She was never around
She was out getting dirty
All over town

Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

Well, I was low on money
And my truck broke down
I was on my way
To the lost and found

So I took it to a dealer
I said, "Make it run.
Well, I ain't got no money
But I got me a gun."

I said, "You robbed me before
So I'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight
It'll put you on the right track."

Well, I ain't no devil
And I ain't no saint
But I can tell a dealer
By the color of his paint

Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

Deliver your children to the good, good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and a knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

If you want good eggs
You gotta feed the hen
And if you wanna hear some more
Well, I'll sing it again

Our love affair was over on the second day
You packed a bag and like a birdie, flew away
Meanwhile I'm sitting here, I'm getting in a mess
If you want my love, leave your name and address

I used to love you baby, when I was your man
But maybe loving you is something no one man can do
Meanwhile I'm sitting here, I'm getting in a mess
If you want my love, leave your name and address

Love to feel the tingle of your heavenly caresses
Love to intermingle, a lonely single without addresses
If you want my love, leave your name and address

But if it's all over, baby, you know I'll understand
Maybe I'll hate to think of you with another man
Meanwhile I'm sitting here, I'm getting in a mess
If you want my love, leave your name and address

But if it's all over, baby, you know I'll understand
Maybe I'll hate to think of you with another man
Meanwhile I'm sitting here, I'm getting in a mess
If you want my love, leave your name and address

Though somethings in life are hard to bear
Don't let it bring you down
Should the sand of time run out on you
Don't let it bring you down

Don't go down
Don't go underground
Things seem strange
But they change, how they change

Up and down your carousel will go
So don't let it bring you down

Don't go down
Don't get out of town
Get te know how it goes
How it goes

When the price you have to pay is high
Don't let it bring you down
Don't let it bring you down

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

The grey goose was a steady boat
People said she's never float
But one night when the moon was high
The grey goose flew away

As we were sailing 'round the rocks
The mate took out his compass box
And said the wind is like a fox
But the grey goose flew away

When out upon the open sea
The admiral, the mate and me
Prepared to face eternity
But the grey goose flew away

She flew into the stormy sea
Davy jones was calling me
But heading for tranquility
The grey goose flew away

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you, yeah

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you

Right on down at the bottom of the sea
Tell me are you receiving me?
My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
