Yes I Will

I'll be true to you, yes I will
I'll be true to you, yes I will
I won't look twice when the other girls go by
I'll be true to you, yes I will

Somehow this time it's oh so clear to me
The way to go is easy to see
My heart is sure, you're the girl I've waited for
I'll be true to you, yes I will

Yes I will, I used to be the kind
Who said that every girl's the same
And that love was just a game for havin' fun
But when I looked at you, I knew that I was wrong
And that I really could belong to only one

I'll be true to you, yes I will
Every dream that you have I'll fulfill
I've never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you, yes I will

I've never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you, yes I will
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will, oh yes I will

I'm Alive
(C. Ballard Jr.)

Did you ever see a man with no heart?
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
Until you set me free

Now I can breathe, I can see
I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I used to think that I was living
Baby, I was wrong
No, I never knew a thing about living
Until you came along

Now I can breathe, I can see
I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Now I can breathe, I can see
I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive

Look Through Any Window
(Gouldman/Silverman)

Look through any window, yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town

Where do they go - moving on their way
Walkin' down the highways and the byways
Where do they go - moving on their way
People with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh, you can see the little children all around
Oh, you can see the little ladies in their gowns

When you look through any window, yeah
Any time of day
See the drivers on the roads
Button down their heavy loads

Where do they go - moving on their way
A driving down the highways and the byways
Where do they go - moving on their way
Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh, you can see the little children all around
Oh, you can see the little ladies in their gowns

When you - look through any window, yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town

Where do they go - moving on their way
Moving on their way - moving on their way

If I Needed Someone
(George Harrison)

If I needed someone to love
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone

If I had some more time to spend
Then I'd guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone

Had you come some other day then
It might not have been like this
Can't you see how I'm too much in love?

Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone

If I had some more time to spend ....
Had you come some other day then ....
Carve your number on my wall ....
If I needed someone

I Can't Let Go
(Taylor/Gorgoni)

I try and I try but I can't say goodbye

Feel so bad, baby, oh, it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby

You got me going, I need you, baby
I can't let go and I want you, baby
I gotta have you know, I can't let go

Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know that there are so many others
You do something strange to me, baby, baby

You got me going, I need you, baby
I can't let go and I want you, baby
I gotta have you know, I can't let go

I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
but the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on

You got me going, I need you, baby
I can't let go and I want you, baby
I gotta have you know, I can't let go

You got me going, I need you, baby
I can't let go and I want you, baby
I gotta have you know, I can't let go
I can't let go, I can't let go ....

Bus Stop
(Graham Gouldman)

Bus stop - wet day - she's there - I say
'Please share my umbrella'
On bus stop - bus goes - she stays - love grows
Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it, the wind and rain and shine
And that umbrella we employed it, by august she was mine

Ev'ry mornin' I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop
And she would show me what she'd bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Some day my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started, silly - but it's true
I'm thinking of a sweet romance beginning in a queue
Came the sun, the ice was melting, no more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella led me to a vow

Ev'ry mornin' I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop
And she would show me what she'd bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Some day my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop - wet day - she's there - I say
'Please share my umbrella' ....

Stop, Stop, Stop
(A. Clarke/G. Nash)

See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting-a-ling-a-linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just-a like-a teardrops
Running from her head

Now she dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake, her body fascinates me
I can't look away now

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

Now she's moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light
Closer, closer she is getting nearer
Soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into a spotlight
She stands lost for speech

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

Now I hold her, people are staring
Don't know what to think
And we struggle, knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks
Can't they understand that I want her
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

On A Carousel
(Clarke/Nash/Hicks)

Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So they ain't so far
On a carousel, on a carousel

Nearer and nearer by changing horses, still so far away
People fighting for their places just get in my way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you, still we're going round
On a carousel, on a carousel

Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

As she leaves, she drops the presents that she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water, got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it, a case of do-or-die
On a carousel, on a carousel

Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
On a carousel, on a carousel ....

Carrie Anne
(Clarke/Nash/Hicks)

Hey Carrie Anne - hey Carrie Anne

When we were at school our games were simple
I played the janitor you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing?

Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now
Can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now
Can anybody play

You're always something special to me
Quite independent - never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic dissappearing

Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now
Can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now
Can anybody play

You're so, so like a woman to me
So like a woman to me
So, so like a woman to me
So like a woman to me

Hey Carrie Anne ....

People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying

Hey Carrie Anne ....

Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne
Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne

Dear Eloise
(A. Clarke/T. Hicks/G. Nash)

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me
Two three four

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told ya, he was much older
So much older than you

You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you
You should have departed before he got started
Now you've been burned just like I said you would

Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial to you
You must read in-between the lines
A message you will see
If you use your mind, you'll find
I want you back with me

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told ya, he was much older
So much older than you
So much older than you, so much older than you

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

Jennifer Eccles
(A. Clarke/T. Hicks/G. Nash)

White chalk, written on red brick
Our love, told in a heart
It's there, drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate or adore

I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

La la la la la la la ....

I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside

One Monday morning, found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking, had she done the same?

La la la la la la la ....

One Monday morning, found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking, had she done the same?

I hope Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love, kiss, hate or adore - singing

I love Jennifer Eccles ....
La la la la la la la ....

Listen To Me
(T. Hazzard)

Listen to me, I'll sing a song to change your mind

Have you ever wondered why when everything goes wrong
Nobody stops to lend a hand, nobody seems to care?
Then she looks you in the eye and suddenly you're strong
And very soon you realize that you didn't care about love

Listen to me, I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten that you didn't care about love

Does it hurt to realize you've been acting very strange
Refusing to take the love she gives, pretending you don't care?
Did it take you by surprise to discover how you'd changed
How you forgot to remember that you didn't care about love?

Listen to me, I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten that you didn't care about love

Sorry Suzanne
(G. Stephens/T. Macaulay)

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne, believe me, I was wrong
And I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you, more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne, for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

I could never ever justify
All the tears I made you cry
But I do regret it, my Suzanne
You gotta believe me

I was lookin' 'round for someone new
What a foolish thing to do
All the time I knew it
Heaven knows what made me do it, girl

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne, believe me, I was wrong
And I knew I was all along, all along

I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

If you would only take me back again
Things would be so different then
What I wouldn't give for
One more chance to live for you, Suzanne

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne, believe me, I was wrong
And I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you, more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne, for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

He Ain't Heavy ... He's My Brother
(Bobby Scott/Bob Russell)

The road is long with a many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
That ev'ryone's heart isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road from which there is no return
While we're on the way to there, why not share?
And the load doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

He's my brother - he ain't heavy - he's my brother
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
