Tuesday had a dream child, she's always on the go so I'm in love with Saturday's child, every time you take a ride at night (She drives me wild), you wanna kiss and hold her way up tight (Gonna spend my time). You can tell the future's looking bright (making sure that Saturday's child is mine). If you love a Wednesday, you'll live your life apart now. And if you love a Thursday, she's gonna break your heart so I'm in love with Saturday's child, every time you hold her close you'll see (She drives me wild), You can feel the thrill it's gonna be (Gonna spend my time), Now the future has a guarantee (making sure that Saturday's child is mine). Seven days of the week made to choose from but only one is right for me. I know that Saturday's got what it takes, babe, I can tell by the way she looks at me. Friday likes a good life, she'll take you for a ride, now. And Sunday makes a good wife, she wants to be a bride so I'm in love with Saturday's child, every time you take a ride at night (She drives me wild), You wanna kiss and hold her way up tight (Gonna spend my time), You can tell the future's looking bright (making sure that Saturday's child is mine). Saturday's child, every time you hold her close you'll see (She drives me wild), You can feel the thrill it's gonna be (Gonna spend my time), Now the future has a guarantee (making sure that Saturday's child is mine). I Wanna Be Free I wanna be free like the bluebirds flying by me, like the waves out on the blue sea. If your love has to tie me, don't try me, say goodbye. I wanna be free, don't say you love me say you like me but when I need you beside me, stay close enough to guide me, confide in me, whoa whoa. I wanna hold your hand, walk along the sand, laughing in the sun, always having fun. Doing all those things without any strings to tie me down. I wanna be free like the warm September wind, babe, say you'll always be my friend, babe. We can make it to the end, babe, again babe, I've gotta say, I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free. Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day I'm gonna pack up all the pain, I'm gonna keep it in my heart. I'm gonna catch me the fastest train, I'm gonna make me a brand new start.

Papa Gene's Blues No heartache's felt, no longer lonely, nights of waiting finally won me happiness, it's all rolled up in you. And now with you as inspiration, I look toward a destination, sunny, bright that once before was blue. I have no more than I did before but now I've got all that I need for I love you and I know you love me. So take my hand I'll start my journey free from all the helpless worry that besets a man when he's alone. For strength is mine when we're together and with you I know I'll never have to pass the high road for the low. I have no more than I did before but now I've got all that I need for I love you and I know you love me. Play, magic fingers! I have no more than I did before but now I've got all that I need for I love you and I know you love me. Yes I love you and I know you love me. Take A Giant Step Though you've played at love and lost and sorrow's turned your heart to frost, I will melt your heart again. Remember the feeling as a child when you woke up and morning smiled, it's time you felt like you did then. There's just no percentage in remembering the past, it's time you learned to live again at last. Come with me, leave yesterday behind and take a giant step outside your mind. You stare at me in disbelief, say for you there's no relief but I swear I'll prove you wrong. Don't sit in your lonely room just staring back in silent gloom, that's not where you belong. Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green and everyday holds wonders to be seen Come with me, leave yesterday behind and take a giant step outside your mind. Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green and everyday holds wonders to be seen Come with me, leave yesterday behind and take a giant step outside your mind.

Oh yeah, she raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda. You only know the things she wants you to know. I know she's having a fit. She doesn't like me a bit. No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda. You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda. She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free. So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda, so proper judging others over her tea. You look just like her, you do, I know by looking at you that you been listening to your Auntie Grizelda. Oh no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda. It takes much more to be someone of your own. You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda or just like her you'll have to make it alone. I know she's having a fit. She doesn't like me a bit. No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda. Auntie Grizelda, Auntie Grizelda. Auntie Grizelda, Auntie Grizelda... (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone I'm not your steppin' stone. I'm not your steppin' stone. You're trying to make your mark in society, you're using all the tricks that you used on me. You're reading all them high-fashion magazines, the clothes you're wearing, girl, are causing public scenes. I said, I'm not your steppin' stone. I'm not your steppin' stone. Not your steppin' stone. Not your steppin' stone. I'm not your steppin' stone. When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes but now you're walking 'round like you're front page news. You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose, but you won't find my name in your book of "Who's Whos." I said, I'm not your steppin' stone (No, girl, not me!). I'm not your steppin' stone. Not your steppin' stone. I'm not your steppin' stone. Not your steppin' stone (Not your steppin' stone). Not your steppin' stone (Not your steppin' stone)... I'm A Believer I thought love was only true in fairy tales, meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed, disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got. What's the use in trying? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine, I got rain. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried. Yes I saw her face, now I'm a believer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. Said I'm a believer, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (I'm a believer). Said I'm a believer, yeah (I'm a believer). Said I'm a believer... Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow) Look out, here comes tomorrow, that's when I'll have to choose. How I wish I could borrow someone else's shoes. Mary, oh what a sweet girl, lips like strawberry pie. Sandra, the long hair and beat girl, can't make up my mind. I see all kinds of sorrow, wish I only loved one. Look out, here comes tomorrow. Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come. Told them both that I loved them, said it and it was true. But I can't have both of them, don't know what to do. I see all kinds of sorrow, wish I only loved one Look out, here comes tomorrow. Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come. Mary, I love you. Sandra, I love you. Well, I see all kinds of sorrow wish I only loved one. Look out, here comes tomorrow. Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come. The Kind of Girl I Could Love Girl, you look mighty good to me and I know that you got to be the kind of girl I could love. You got the sweetest pair of eyes and your kiss would be paradise, the kind of girl I could love. You do something to my soul that no one's ever done. If you're looking for true love then let me be the one. Oh, girl, deep in my soul I'm sure and my heart has no doubt that you're the kind of girl I could love. Hey, girl, you look mighty good to me and I know that you got to be the kind of girl I could love, the kind of girl I could love... You Just May Be The One All men must have someone, have someone who would never take advantage of the love bright as the sun. Someone to understand them, and you just may be the one. All men must have someone, have someone who would never take for granted, all the pleasures and the fun. Someone to stand beside them, and you just may be the one. I saw when you walked by, the love light in your eyes, I knew I must try to win you more than as a friend, I'm starting near the end and I here go again. All men must have someone, have someone who would never take advantage of the love bright as the sun. Someone to understand them, and you just may be the one. Someone to stand beside them, and you just may be the one. Shades of Gray When the world and I were young, just yesterday, life was such a simple game, a child could play. It was easy then to tell right from wrong, easy then to tell weak from strong, when a man should stand and fight or just go along. But today there is no day or night, today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray. I remember when the answers seemed so clear, we had never lived with doubt or tasted fear. It was easy then to tell truth from lies, selling-out from compromise, who to love and who to hate, the foolish from the wise. But today there is no day or night, today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray. It was easy then to know what was fair, when to keep and when to share, how much to protect your heart and how much to care. But today there is no day or night, today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray. Only shades of gray. For Pete's Sake Love is understanding. Don't you know that this is true? Love is understanding, it's in everything we do. In this generation (in this generation), in this loving time (this loving time), in this generation, we will make the world shine. We were born to love one another, this is something we all need.

I got no time, baby, got lots of better things to do. Running from the rising heat to find a place to hide, the grass is always greener growing on the other side. No time, no time for you. I got no time, baby, got lots of better things to do. One more George, for Ringo, one time! No time, no time for you. I got no time, baby, got lots of better things to do. No time, no time for you. I got no time, baby, got lots of better things to do. Try to tell the world somehow of how I feel. Tell me what you said again, I can't believe it's real. No time, no time for you. I got no time, baby, got lots of better things to do. Andy, you're a dandy, you don't seem to make no sense. Never mind the furthermore, the plea is self-defense. No time, no time for you.

Randy Scouse Git She's a wonderful lady and she's mine all mine. And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind. It's too easy humming songs to a girl in a yellow dress. It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess. The Four Kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor. There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door. He reminds me of a penguin with few unpleasant hairs. Talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there. Why don't you cut your hair? Why don't you live up there? Why don't you do what I do see what I feel when I care? Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats are Naugahide. I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide. The being known as Wonder Girl is speaking I believe. It's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave. Why don't you be like me? Why don't you stop and see? Why don't you hate who I hate kill who I kill to be free? Why don't you cut your hair? Why don't you live up there? Why don't you do what I do see what I feel when I care? Why don't you be like me? (She's a wonderful lady) Why don't you stop and see? (and she's mine all mine) Why don't you hate who I hate kill who I kill to be free? (and there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind) Why don't you cut your hair? (It's too easy humming songs) Why don't you live up there? (to a girl in a yellow dress) Why don't you do what I do see what I feel when I care? (It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess) The Girl I Knew Somewhere You tell me that you've never been this way before. You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere. You're standing in the places and you're staring down through faces that bring to mind traces of a girl, a girl that I knew somewhere. I just can't put my finger on what it is that says to me watch out, don't believe her. I can't give any reasons, girl, my thoughts are bound down in a whirl. I just can't think who in the world was that girl, I know I met her somewhere. Someway, somehow, the same thing was done. Someone, somewhere did me the same wrong. Well, goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again. My fingers are still burning from the last time. And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame. That's as may be, I can't explain, just ask the girl that I knew somewhere. And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame. That's as may be, I can't explain, just ask the girl that I knew somewhere. Salesman Salesman, where you gonna go sell all your of your goods today?

The Door Into Summer With his Fool's Gold stacked up all around him from a killing in the Market on the floor. The children left King Midas there as they found him in his counting house where nothing counts but more. And he thought he heard the echoes of a pennywhistle band and the laughter from a distant caravan, and the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand fading through the door into summer. With his travelogues and "maybe next year" places as a trade-in for a name upon the door. (Oh, he throws it all away) And he pays for it with years he cannot buy back with his tears when he finds out there's been no one keeping score. And he thought he heard the echoes of a pennywhistle band and the laughter from a distant caravan, and the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand fading through the door into summer. Yes, he thought he heard the echoes of a pennywhistle band and the laughter from a distant caravan, and the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand fading through the door into summer. Fading through the door (fading through the door into summer)… Cuddly Toy You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy. You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain the day after Santa came. You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night and gave up without a fight. You're not the only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy. You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother the kind of company you keep. I never told you not to love no other, you must of dreamed it in your sleep. You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed. You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy. You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain the day after Santa came. You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night and gave up without a fight.

I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so. There I'd lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so. But I found myself a-thinking when the time had come to go- what am I doing hangin' 'round? I should be on that train and gone. I should be ridin' on that train to San Antoine, What am I doing hangin' 'round? She took me to the garden, just for a little walk. I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk. Then she told me that she loved me, not with words but with a kiss. And like a fool I kept on thinking of a train I could not miss. what am I doing hangin' 'round? I should be on that train and gone. I should be ridin' on that train to San Antoine, What am I doing hangin' 'round? Well it's been a year or so and I wanna go back again. And if I get the money, well, I'll ride the same old train. But I guess your chances come but once and boy, I sure missed mine. And still I can't stop thinking when I hear some whistle crying- what am I doing hangin' 'round? I should be on that train and gone. I should be ridin' on that train to San Antoine, What am I doing hangin' 'round? what am I doing hangin' 'round? I should be on that train and gone. I should be ridin' on that train to San Antoine, What am I doing hangin' 'round? what am I doing hangin' 'round? I should be on that train and gone. I should be ridin' on that train to San Antoine, What am I doing hangin' 'round? Peter Percival Patterson's Pet Pig Porky Peter Percival Patterson had a pet pig named Porky. This Pet Pig named Porky loved pie. He loved pizza pie, pumpkin pie, pineapple pie, pizza pie, mince tarts... And Peter Percival Patterson's pet pig Porky loved pie for breakfast, pie for lunch, pie in the afternoon, and pie before he went to bed... Peter Percival Patterson's pet pig Porky ate so much pie that do you know what he did? He popped. Pleasant Valley Sunday The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their song to serenade the weekend squire who just came out to mow his lawn. Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday), charcoal burning everywhere. Rows of houses that are all the same and no one seems to care. See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today because her roses are in bloom. And Mr. Green, he's so serene, he's got a TV in every room. Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday), here in Status Symbol Land. Mothers complain about how hard life is and the kids just don't understand. Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see. My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away, I need a change of scenery. Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday), charcoal burning everywhere. Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday), here in Status Symbol Land. Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Ahhhh, Pleasant Valley Sunday)... Daily Nightly Darkened rolling figures move through prisms of no color. Hand in hand they walk the night but never know each other. Passion cast in neon lights light up the jeweled travelers who lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams find questions but no answers. Startled eyes that sometimes see phantasmagoric splendor pirouette down palsied paths with pennies for the vendor. Salvation's yours for just the time it takes to pay the dancer and once again such anxious men find questions but no answers. The night has gone and taken its infraction while reddened eyes hope there will be a next one. Terror signs look down upon a world that glitters glibly. And mountainsides put arms around the unsuspecting city. Second hands that minds have slowed are moving even faster toward bringing down someone who's found the questions but no answers. Don't Call On Me Don't call on me when you're feeling footloose and fancy-free. You've done that before and like a fool I came back for more. It's all over now, I've finally seen my way. I need you no more, not now or any other day. OK, little girl, live for yourself in your own little world. I know that you'll find someone who'll play at love he'll be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind, be just your kind. Star Collector Think I'll let her keep on going wherever it is she's going to. Give her my autograph and tell her, it's been nice knowing you. She's a star collector (collector of stars).

Whoa, it won't take much time before I get her off my mind. Bye bye, bye bye... Goin' Down Sock it to me! Floating in the river with a saturated liver and I wish I could forgive her but I do believe she meant it when she told me to forget it and I bet she will regret it when they find me in the morning wet and drowned and the word gets 'round, I'm goin' down. I'm goin' down. Coming up for air it's pretty stuffy under there, I'd like to say I didn't care but I forgot to leave a note and it's so hard to stay afloat, I'm soaking wet without a boat and I knew I should've taken off my shoes, it's front page news, goin' down, goin' down. Hep, hep, hep, hep. Hep hep, hep hep. I wish I had another drink, it wouldn't be so hard to sink, I should've taken time to think besides I got the picture straight, she must've had another date, I didn't need this extra weight, I wish that I could see the way to shore. I don't want no more goin' down. I'm goin' down. And now I see the life I led, I slept it all away in bed, they should've let me swim instead and now it's really got me stumped, I can't believe why I jumped, I'd like to get my tummy pumped, I can't believe they drink this stuff in town, this dirty brown, goin' down. Goin' down. I wish I'd look before I leap, I didn't know it was so deep, been down so far I don't get wet, I haven't touched the bottom yet. This river scene is getting old, I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold. She told me to forget it nice, I should've taken her advice. I only wanna go on home, I'll gladly leave that girl alone. What a way to spend the night, if I don't drown I'll die of fright. My pappy taught me how to float, but I can't swim a single note. He threw me in to teach me how, I stayed there floating like a mama cow. And now I've floated way downstream, no this has to be a dream. If I could find my way to shore, I'd never, never do this anymore. They give you three I've been down nine, I'm goin' down just one more time, goin' down, goin' down, I'm goin' down, go, go, go, goin' down back, back, back, home. I'm goin' back home. Back to my friends. I'm goin' home. Now the sky is getting light, everything will be alright. Think I've finally got the knack , just floating and lazy on my back. I never really liked that town, I think I'll ride the river down. Just moving slow and floating free, this river swinging under me, waving back to those folks on shore, I should've thought of this before. I'm flowing on down to New Orleans and pick up on some swinging scenes. I'm gonna know a better day and I'm goin' down grooving all the way, goin' down. Go-go-goin' down... Daydream Believer "7-A..." "What number is this, Chip?" "7-A!" "Okay, don't mean it; don't get excited, man. It's 'cause I'm short, I know." Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings. The six o'clock alarm would never ring. But, it rings and I rise, wipe the sleep out of my eyes. My shaving razor's cold and it stings. Cheer up Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen? You once thought of me as a white knight on his steed. Now you know how happy I can be Whoa, and our good times start and end without dollar one to spend. But how much, baby do we really need? Cheer up Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen? Cheer up Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

You say I'm tough and kind of wild. Am I too much for you to take? I swear this time it's not a game. I've known a lot of girls, no, this I won't deny. I'll give our love, I'll give it more than a try. That was then, this is now. Let me prove my love, girl, I'll make you proud. I've never made this kind of vow, but that was then and this is now. I've led a thousand lives it seems and there's been a lot of broken dreams. My mind has just swept love aside but you broke me down and put me wise. I doubted all compassion but you showed me the score. I can't doubt it, I don't doubt it no more. That was then, this is now. Let me prove my love, girl, I'll make you proud. I've never made this kind of vow, but that was then and this is now. I've known a lot of girls, no, this I won't deny. I'll give our love, I'll give it more than a try. That was then, this is now.
