El Condor Pasa (If I Could) (Milchberg/Robles) I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail, yes I would, if I could, I surely would. I'd rather be a hammer than a nail, yes I would, if I only could, I surely would. Away, I'd rather sail away like a swan that's here and gone. A man gets tired out to the ground, he gives the world it’s saddest sound, it’s saddest sound. I'd rather be a forest than a street, yes I would, if I could, I surely would. I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet, yes I would, if I only could, I surely would. Cecilia Celia, you're breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily.

I've been on the road so long my friend and if you came along, I know you couldn't disagree, it's the same old story, yeah. Everywhere I go I get slandered, libeled, I hear words I never heard in the Bible. And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine, two steps away from the county line. Just trying to keep my customers satisfied, satisfied. Deputy Sheriff said to me, "Tell me what you come here for, you better get your bags and flee. You're in trouble, boy, and now you're heading into more." It's the same old story. Everywhere I go I get slandered, libeled, I hear words I never heard in the Bible.

So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright So long, Frank Lloyd Wright. I can't believe your song is gone so soon. I barely learned the tune, so soon, so soon. I'll remember Frank Lloyd Wright, all of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn. I never laughed so long, so long, so long. Architects may come and architects may go and never change your point of view. When I run dry, I stop a while and think of you. Architects may come and architects may go and never change your point of view. So long, Frank Lloyd Wright all of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn. I never laughed so long, so long, so long. So long, so long… The Boxer I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told, I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises. All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest. When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy in the company of strangers in the quiet of the railway station, running scared. Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go, looking for the places only they would know. Lie la lie... Asking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job but I get no offers, just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue. I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there, lie la lie lie. Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me, leading me, going home. In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade and he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame, "I am leaving, I am leaving," but the fighter still remains. Lie la lie, lie la lie lie lie lie lie... Baby Driver My daddy was the family bassman, my momma was an engineer and I was born one dark gray morn with music coming in my ears, in my ears. They call me Baby Driver and once upon a pair of wheels, I hit the road and I'm gone, what's my number? I wonder how your engines feel, ba ba ba ba. Scoot down the road, what's my number? I wonder how your engines feel. Shine a light. My daddy was a prominent frogman, my momma's in the Naval Reserve. When I was young I carried a gun but I never got the chance to serve, I did not serve. They call me Baby Driver and once upon a pair of wheels, I hit the road and I'm gone, what's my number? I wonder how your engines feel, ba ba ba ba. Scoot down the road, what's my number? I wonder how your engines feel. My daddy got a big promotion, my momma got a raise in pay. There's no one home, we're all alone, oh. come into my room and play, yes we can play. I'm not talking about your pigtails but I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal, I hit the road and I'm gone, what's my number? I wonder how your engines feel, ba ba ba ba. Scoot down the road, what's my number? I wonder how your engines feel. The Only Living Boy In New York Tom, get your plane right on time. I know your part'll go fine. Fly down to Mexico.

Why Don't You Write Me Why don't you write me, I'm out in the jungle, I'm hungry to hear you. Send me a card, I am waiting so hard to be near you. Wah-wah-wah, why don't you write? Something is wrong and I know I got to be there. Maybe I'm lost but I can't make the cost of the airfare, wooo. Tell me why, why, why, tell me why, why, why.

This is my tune for the taking, take it, don't turn away, I've been waiting all my life. Thinking it over, I've been sad, thinking it over, I've been more than glad to change my ways for the asking. Ask me and I will play all the love that I hold inside. |
