Call off the search

I won't spend my life
Waiting for an angel to descend
Searching for a rainbow with an end
Now that i've found you
I'll call off the search

And I won't spend my life
Gazing at the stars up in the sky
Wondering if love will pass me by
Now that i've found you
I'll call off the search

Out on my own I would never have known
This world that I see today
And i've got a feeling
It won't fade away

And I won't end my days
Wishing that love would come along
Cause you are in my life where you belong
Now that i've found you
I'll call off the search

Now that i've found you
I'll call off the search

Now that i've found you
I'll call off the search

Crawling up a hill

( John Mayall )

Every morning about half past eight
My Mummer wakes me says "Don't be late"
Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

So I stop one day to figure it out
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt
To sing the blues that I know about
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Minute after minute
Second after second
Hour after hour goes by
Working for a rich girl
Staying just a poor girl
Never stop to wonder why

So here I am in London town
A better scene I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Every morning about half past eight
My Mummer wakes me says, "Don't be late"
Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

So I stop one day to figure it out
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt
To sing the blues that I know about
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Minute after minute
Second after second
Hour after hour goes by
Working for a rich girl
Staying just a poor girl
Never stop to wonder why

So here I am in London town
A better scene I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
Life is just a slow train

So, so, so, here I am in London town
A better scene Iąm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
My life is just a slow train
Crawling up a hill

The closest thing to crazy

How can I think I'm standing strong
Yet feel the air beneath my feet
How can happiness feel so wrong
How can misery feel so sweet

How can you let me watch you sleep
Then break my dreams the way you do
How can I have got in so deep
Why did i fall in love with you

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
But I was never crazy on my own
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you

How can you let me fall apart
Then break my fall with lovin lies
It's so easy to break a heart
It's so easy to close your eyes

How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you
How can anyone feel so wild
How can anyone feel so blue

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen.
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known.
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you

And being close to you
And being close to you

My aphrodisiac is you

Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong
But I don't buy it
I don't believe my diet turns me on

Won't take no pills
That's the last thing that I need to do
I can't deny it
My aphrodisiac is you

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn
And go to bed in rubber gloves
But I don't need no stimulation
Potions, balms or embrocation
I'm in love in other words

Don't smoke no grass
Or opium from old Hong Kong
That hubble-bubble
Just makes me see you double
All night long

Don't waste my time
With Spanish fly and roots to chew
They cause me trouble
Because my aphrodisiac is you

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn
And go to bed in rubber gloves
But I don't need no stimulation
Potions, balms or embrocation
I'm in love in other words

Some people like
To read the khama sutra first
But I don't need it
I think if I should read it
I'd be worse
Don't ask me why
Because baby, I ain't got a clue
I just concede it
My aphrodisiac is you

Learnin' the blues

The tables are empty
The dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song
It's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning
Just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson
In learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light
One after another
Won't help you forget her
And the way that you love her
You're only burning
A torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track
For learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're crying
You just can't forget her
Soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor
And wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break
You're learnin' the blues

Blame it on the moon

Gonna blame it on the moon
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon

I was fine, feeling strong
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault
I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon
So i'll blame it on the moon

I was happy to be free
Didn't think I'd give myself so easily

Guilty feelings in the night
As I wonder is it wrong to feel so right

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault
I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon
So i'll blame it on the moon

Gonna blame it on the moon
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon

I was fine, feeling strong
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault
I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon
So i'll blame it on the moon
So i'll blame it on the moon

Belfast

I've got a ticket to the fast city
Where the bells don't really ring
Getting off the plane the cold air
Rushes like bullets through my brain

And I'm divided between penguins and cats
But it's not about what animal you've got
It's about being able to fly
It's about dying nine times

Walked on Broadway, going up to falls
With the old man I used to know
The paintings on the walls of release
Are colourful but they are no Matisse

And I'm divided between penguins and cats
But it's not about what animal you've got
It's about being able to fly
It's about dying nine times

It's about being able to fly
It's about dying nine times

I think it's going to rain today

( Randy Newman )

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think i'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Mockingbird

Hush now, Honey, here's the word
My Baby's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And If that mockingbird won't sing
Baby's gonna buy me a diamond ring
If that diamond ring won't shine
We'll still have a real good time
So I'm sitting right here
Woah, woah

To this man that I have found
I'm gonna sing the sweetest sound
And if that sweetest sound won't rock
I'm gonna buy him a music box
And if that music box don't play
He's gonna stay with me anyway
So I'm making it clear
Woah, woah

When that man and I are wed
I'm gonna keep him warm in bed
And when my man's no longer hot
I'm gonna bring him a vodka shot
And when that spirit's made him strong
I'm gonna stay with him all night long
I'll be holding on tightly
Woah, woah

He's gonna buy me a mockingbird

Tiger in the night

You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one who keeps me strong in this world

You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright

I was the one who looked so hard I could not see.
Now I could never live without the love you give to me.

I lived like a wild and lonely soul
Lost in a dream beyond control.
You were the one who brought me home down to earth.

For you are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright

Faraway Voice

Whoo...

Faraway voice
We can hear you whoo voice
What's it like to be heard
But from you not a word

Are you over those hills
Do you still hum the old melodies
Do you wish people listened
Over here with me

Whoo...

Faraway voice
What I would give to hear that voice
What's it like to breath
My ears deceive me voice

And I will walk with you on a summers
And I will talk to you
Though you're faraway
And we'll sing through the years

Are you over those hills
Do you still hum the old melodies
Do you wish people listened
Over here with me
Over here with me
Over here with me

Whoo...

Lilac Wine

( Nina Simone )

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because I brings me back you

Lilac wine
Is sweet and heady
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Like my love
Listen to me...
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he
Coming to me nearly here

Lilac wine
Is sweet and heady
Where's my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Where's my love

Listen to me
Why is everything so hazy
Isn't that he
Or am I just going crazy, dear

Lilac Wine
I feel unready
For my love...

Piece By Piece

Shy boy

I'm sittin' in the window of a street café
Watchin' you walking by each day
It seems that you always wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy
You're such a shy boy

So good looking you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me
You could make it happen so easily
Woah, i'll tell you why boy
'Cos i'm looking for a shy boy

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

If this was a quiz on a tv show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer i know
Hey, my reply boy
Is gimme a shy boy

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more
But honey, you still gotta knock on my door
Hey, just try boy
And you could be my boy

I'll tell you why boy
I'm looking for a shy boy
Just try boy, you're such a shy boy

Nine Million Bicycles

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die

Piece by piece

First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then i'll say goodbye
To your whispers in my dreams
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin

Piece by piece
Is how i'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

First of all must fly
My dreams of you and i
There's no point of holding on to those
And then our ties will break
For your and my own sake
Just remember
This is what you chose

Piece by piece
Is how i'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

I'll shed like skin
Our memories of lazy days
And fade away the shadow of your face

Piece by piece
Is how i'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
One at a time
One at a time

Halfway up the hindu kush

The first time that i saw you
I said "for goodness sake
That man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake"
I was thrille and fascinated
But somehow liberated
When you took me to a place i'd never been.
You showed me lots of things i'd never seen

You set me free
As if you'd taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu kush

The next time that i saw you, you looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet when i felt it begin to rise
I kinda got the feeling
I was floating to the ceiling
Instead of looking at the sky
You picked me up and showed me how to fly

You set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu kush

From halfway up the hindu
From halfway up the hindu
From halfway up the hindu kush

You set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu kush
Halfway up the hindu kush

Blues in the night

My mamma done told me
When i was in pigtails
My mamma done told me, "hon
A man is a two-face
He'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talking's done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night."

Now the rains a-fallin'
Hear the trains a-callin', "whooee!"
Hear the lonesome whistle
Blowin' across the trestle, "whooee!"
A-whooee-ah-whooee, clickety-clack
Comes echoing back
The blues in the night

From natchez to mobile
From memphis to st. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
And heard me some big talk
But there is one thing i know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night

My mamma done told me
When i was in pig tails
My mamma done told me, "hon
A man is a two-face
He'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talking's done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night

My mamma done told me

Spider's web

If a black man is racist, is it okay
When it's the white man's racism that made him that way
Because the bully's the victim they say
By some sense they're all the same

Because the line between
Wrong and right
Is the width of a thread
From a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

I could tell you to go to war
Or i could march for peace and fighting no more
How do i know which is right
And i hope he does when he sends you to fight

Because the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Should we act on a blame
Or should we chase the moments away
Should we live
Should we give
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time
Because the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Blue shoes

These blue shoes seem to suit me well
When i feel like hell
As i do now that you're gone
Lost and lonely since you stopped caring
I've been wearing my new shoes
I've been wearing my blue shoes

You and i made the perfect pair
It don't seem fair
I loved you more than you know
Sorry i'm such a sorry state
But while i wait for some good news
I'll be wearing my blue shoes

Don't feel like walking strong
Shufflin' along on my way home
Trudgin' down that shopping street
Where we used to meet
But i ain't buying
I'm wearing my blue shoes and crying

These blue shoes seem to suit my sould
Since you shot that hole
Since you shot that hole in my heart
And if i wind up on the sidewalk bleeding
I won't be needing my new shoes
Won't be needing my blue shoes

These blue shoes seem to suit me well
When i feel like hell
As i do now that you're gone
Lost and lonely since you stopped caring
I've been wearing my new shoes
I've been wearing my blue shoes

On the road again

Well i'm so tired of cryin' but i'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
Well i'm so tired of cryin' but i'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend

And i'm going to leave the city, got to go away
I'm going to leave the city, got to go away
All this fussing and fighting, man i sure can't stay

You know the first time i travelled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
You know the first time i travelled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no fellow, not even no place to go

And my dear mother left me when i was quite young
When i was quite young
And my dear mother left me when i was quite young
When i was quite young
She said "lord have mercy on my wicked son."

Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me mama please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
Cause it's soon one morning down the road i'm gone

But i ain't going down that long and lonesome road
All by myself
But i ain't going down that long and lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you baby, gonna carry somebody else

Thank you stars

Some call it faith, some call it love
Some call it guidance from above
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars

Some people think it's far away
Some know it's with them everyday
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there

To some it's the strength to be apart
To some it's a feeling in the heart
And when you're out there on your own, it's the way back home

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there

Some call it faith, some call it love
Some call it guidance from above
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars
Thank you stars
Thank you stars
Thank you stars

Just like heaven

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And i promise you i promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways i had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away, he said
Why won't you ever know that i'm in love with you
That i'm in love with you

You, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy i loved
And drowned him deep inside of me

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

I Cried For You

You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why

I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper

I do believe in love

They say we never landed on the moon
There's no wind there, they a__ume
I guess conspiracies are nothing new
But i'm sure i've been there with you

And i don't believe that in s___e
The only life is here on earth
How could we be the only race
That loves and hates 'til death from birth

But i do believe in love
Though i should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me
But loving you

Is it true a politician's heart
Can rust away and fall apart
I guess it must be hard
It must be hard
To know what's good
And to know what's easy

You might think it's strange
For all my wild ideas
But i do not believe that change
Can ever happen without tears

But i do believe in love
Though i should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me
But loving you
