HELLO SUSIE (ROY WOOD)

Everybody sat here waiting
For the train to come
Just lay down a bright red carpet
For her to step on
Lookin' to the band I see her
Waving her hands at me
Her looks were tanned
And quite amazing as she ran to me

Chorus
Hello Susie
Hello Susie
Tell me the news about yourself
Hello Susie
Hello Susie
Tell me that you've enjoyed yourself

Frantically she knocked me over
Causing such a scene
Shook the crowd enough to sway
The interest from the queen
Her black transistor socked out
One o'clock radio
Completely drowned the band
And loud enough to stop the show

Chorus

Yes a rock 'n' roll the day away
(Come on everybody)
They all seem too keen to make the scene
(Come on everybody)
(Come on everybody)
(Got to keep it just away)

I was all at sea
And threw her bags into the car
Susie took her bow
And made her exit like a star
The national news took films
Which later made history
Her looks were tanned
And quite amazing as she ran to me

Chorus

BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER (ROY WOOD)

There we go running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again
See her face again.

Lost the world - fruits of the morning are bleak and grey
Carried away to the heart in a storm
Suffer the dawn today - today.

Chorus
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter
Now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay.

Wide awake lying in wait for the mood to break
Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share
Wanting you there today - today.

Chorus

Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye
Say goodbye - I'm crying
Beautiful daughter give me more open the door.

Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again - again.

Chorus, repeat

Beautiful daughter give me more open the door…

Repeat

CHERRY BLOSSOM CLINIC REVISITED (ROY WOOD)

It was one morning when I woke up. I found out that they'd signed some papers and that I was gonna be kept in a bed, owing to the state of my mind. And then I found out that the authorities had said that I'd gotta have special food fed to me for me thoughts and I think it's because, well because I was going off my...

…Head

Suddenly from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my bed in deep maroon
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the moon

Chorus
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say?
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

In this sad position where I lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by
Doctor pays a visit everyday
I keep asking for my Dad
They must think I'm going mad

Lift the blankets off my face
Quick before I suffocate
Trying hard to meditate
Tell the people what a scene
Write a letter to the Queen
Asking her if she can come to tea

Chorus

Up above the sun is high
Like a tea tray in the sky
Helicopter lands upon my bed
Phantom horses quickly fade
Turning into lemonade
Probably feel better when I'm dead

Chorus

FIELDS OF PEOPLE (WYATT DAY & JON PIERSON)

Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change

Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go
New ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again

And the wildflowers grow out of fields

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change

Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go, new ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again

And the wildflowers grow out of love

Love of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will feed

Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change
Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go, new ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again

And the wildflowers grow out of fields

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

DON'T MAKE MY BABY BLUE (BARRY MANN & CYNTHIA WEIL)

I know that I can't keep her
Now she's in love with you
But I just wanna say
I won't be far away
So don't make my baby blue

I know your reputation
They say you can't be true
So I'll be standing by
And you just better try
Not to make my baby blue

My little girl
She's always been an angel
And it hurts me so bad
To set her free
Oh it does
You better take good care of her
She still means
All the world to me
You know she does

I'm gonna step aside now
Just like she wants me to
But even though I'm gone
I'll still be looking on
You better not make my baby blue
No you wont…

She's been a good baby
You want me to try?

I heard about your reputation
They say you can't be true
Oh no
So I'll be standing by
You gonna have to try
Not to make my baby blue

My little girl,
She's an angel
She's always been
And it hurts me
To set her free
You better take good care of her
She still means
All the world to me
You know she does

I'm have to step aside now
Just like she wants me to
Oh yeah
But even though I'm gone
I'm gonna be looking right on
So don't make my baby blue
You better try your best
Don't make my baby blue

THE LAST THING ON MY MIND (TOM PAXTON)

It's a lesson, too late for the learning
Made of sand, oh it's made of sand
In the wink of an eye
My soul keeps on turning
In your hand
In your hand

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace
For me to find
Well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
Oh you must know it was the last thing on my mind

As we walked
All my thoughts they are a tumblin' down, down
Round and around,
Round and round
And I believe
I hear the subway's grumblin'
Underground, underground

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace
Left behind
Well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

You've got reasons of plenty for going
This I know
This I know
For the weeds
Have been steadily growing
Please don't grow
Please don't grow

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left to find
Well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

THIS TIME TOMORROW (DAVID MORGAN)

Now the time has nearly come
You watch the setting sun
This time tomorrow - I'll be gone

Here nothing could be bad
No one to feel sad
This time tomorrow - looking back

Yes I'll miss those happy days
As the sunset meets my gaze
I'll remember that I loved you

So this is how it ends
I'd love to make amends
This time tomorrow - we'll be friends

Yes I'll miss those happy days
As the sunset meets my gaze
I'll remember that I loved you

So this is how it ends
I'd love to make amends
This time tomorrow - we'll be friends

A CERTAIN SOMETHING (DAVID MORGAN)

Is there something that you've wanted?
More than anything
Something you took for granted?
Never stopped to think

Suddenly it's there in your eyes
Suddenly you can recognise
That something, that certain something

Do I want you, or do I want you?
More than anything
Did I love you, or did I love you?
Never stopped to think

All my life I've wanted one thing more
All my life I've been searching for
That something, that certain something

Oh! no, no, no, it's not like that at all
Oh! no, no, no, not as I recall

Is there something that you've wanted?
More than anything
Something you took for granted?
Did you ever stop to think?

All my life I've wanted one thing more
All my life I've been searching for
That something, that certain something

CURLY (ROY WOOD)

Mr. Mackan was a practical man
Curly was his only son
And he loved him like no other can
Be done - Be done - Be done.

He discovered the world in a wonderful girl,
Though he played with more than one.
But he loved her like no other can
Be done - Be done - Be done.

Chorus
Oh! Curly has she let you down and run?
Oh! Curly where's your girly, where's she gone?

Ran all over the town
Till he covered the ground,
Every inch of Liverpool
In a way I feel so bad
That she let he be made a fool.
But remember she's right, as we freeze in the night
When the dawn took years to come,
Does he love her like no other can
Be done - Be done - Be done.

Chorus

Now curse the day, yes it really shook you good.
Just broke away,
No - you didn't feel she would, you didn't feel she would...

La-da-da,
Na na na na

Desolation tones play on, though it breaks you Curly
Can't you see what she has gone and done.

He discovered the world, such a wonderful girl,
So he played with more than one,
But he loved her like no other can
Be done - Be done - Be done.

Chorus

Oh Curly, where's she gone?
You didn't feel she would.
Oh Curly, where's she gone?
You didn't feel she would.
But she could

La-da-da,
La-da-da,
La-da-da.

WILD TIGER WOMAN (ROY WOOD)

Spotlight for Jean, she's more than seventeen
Seems keen, in other words
She must have been a former Beauty Queen
Now she's a naughty girl.

Chorus
Wild, wild, wild, tiger woman
(Wild, wild, wild, wild)
You move me very fast
But can it last another day?
Get out of my way
Wild, wild tiger woman
(Wild, wild, wild, wild)
You never break, you never fall
They call you the Wild Tiger Woman.

Tied to the bed, she's waiting to be fed
No pay till Saturday
Can't see an ounce of reason in her head
Don't laugh and turn away.

Chorus

Need another girl to come and grab her by the tail
As I was hoping that the ground would open up and take me in
Life is so obscene,
And the remarks that go unseen
Have been diminished to the earth
I'll never find another girl.

All in the race, such a friendly face
Seems clean and upper class
Young indecisive minds are in a maze
She moves me very fast

Chorus, repeat

OMNIBUS (ROY WOOD)

There she is I'm sure I've seen her
Pushing in the queue to get to the front
(Pushing in the queue to get to the front)
Join the ladies in my dream
I know the perfect part you play
Ring my bell and sail away.

Chorus
Come and take a ride on my omnibus
We could take you right to the terminus
Don't forget your ticket if you want to ride
(Don't forget your ticket if you want to ride, move along inside)
Can't you move along inside?

Just to stop there had some falter
Harem on the bus flies over the town
Cats and kings
Lock up your daughters
Just too late to save the day
Ring my bell and turn away

Chorus

Sweet silver meadows
Protect us from the rain
(Protect us from the rain)
Wings never break
Take us to the stars again
Here the waves blow everywhere
See my slaves with windy hair

"Couldn't hear you"
"Watch that"
"Could I have it again please"
"Ah!"

Save the girls upstairs for later
Now you wonder if I can manage them all
(Now you wonder if I can manage them all)
Wrap them up in Christmas paper
Tell them they don't have to pay
Ring my bell and turn away

Chorus (repeat)

Omnibus ride
Omnibus ride
Omnibus ride
Ride, ride

THAT CERTAIN SOMETHING (DAVID MORGAN)

Is there something that you've wanted?
More than anything
Something you took for granted
Never stopped to think

Suddenly it's there in your eyes
Suddenly you can recognise
That something, that certain something

Do I want you, or do I want you?
More than anything
Do I love you, or do I love you?
Did I stop to think

All my life I've wanted one thing more
All my life I've been searching for
That something, that certain something

Oh! no, no, no, it's not like that at all
Oh! no, no, no, not as I recall

Something that you've wanted
More than anything
Is there something you took for granted?
Never stop to think

Something baby
Something baby
Something baby

What I want
Something baby
Give me something
Just give me something

Something baby
Something baby

Something baby
Something baby

Something baby

THIS TIME TOMORROW (DAVID MORGAN)

Now the time has nearly come
You watch the setting sun
This time tomorrow - I'll be gone

Here nothing could be bad
Nothing to feel sad
This time tomorrow - looking back

Yes I'll miss those happy days
As the sunset meets my gaze
I'll remember that I loved you

So this is how it ends
I'd love to make amends
This time tomorrow - we'll be friends

Yes I'll miss those happy days
As the sunset meets my gaze
I'll remember that I loved you

So this is how it ends
I'd love to make amends
This time tomorrow - we'll be friends
Friends
Friends

BLACKBERRY WAY (ROY WOOD)

Blackberry Way
Absolutely pouring down with rain
It's a terrible day
Up with the lark
Silly girl, I don't know what to say
She was running away
So now I'm standing on the corner
Lost in the things that I said
What am I supposed to do now?

Chorus
Goodbye Blackberry Way
I can't see you
I don't need you
Goodbye Blackberry Way
Sure to want me back another day

Down to the park
Overgrowing but the trees are bare
There's a memory there
Boats on the lake
Unattended now
The laughter drowned
I'm incredibly down
Just like myself they are neglected
Turn with my eyes to the wall
What am I supposed to do now?

Chorus

Run for the train
Look behind you for she may be there
Said a thing in the air
Blackberry Way
See the battlefield of careless sins
Cast to the winds
So full of emptiness without her
Lost in the words that I said
What am I supposed to do now?

Goodbye Blackberry Way
I can't see you, I don't need you.
Goodbye Blackberry Way
Sure to want me back another day.

Chorus
