Four Seasons In One Day - Crowded House



Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds
Hanging over the domain
Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And i will risk my neck again
You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day
Chorus
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
It doesn't pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort
There is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day
Chorus

Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? - Rod Stewart


Sugar, sugar, mmm ooh
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
he's so nervous avoiding all the questions.
his lips are dry her heart is gently pounding
don't you just know exactly what they're thinking
If you want my body and you think i'm sexy
come on sugar let me know.
if you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so.
tell me so, baby.
He's acting shy looking for an answer,
come on honey, let's spend the night together,
now hold on a minute before we go much further,
give me a dime so i can 'phone my mother,
they catch a cab to his high rise apartment,
at last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant.
If you want my body and you think i'm sexy
come on honey tell me so.
if you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know.
His heart's beating like a drum
'cos at last he's got his girl home
relax baby now we are alone
oh
They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing,
two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking.
outside it's cold misty and it's raining,
they got each other neither one's complaining,
he say's i sorry but i'm out of milk and coffee,
never mind sugar we can watch the early movie.
If you want my body and you think i'm sexy
come on sugar let me know.
if you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so.
oh, .... , sugar
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know.
if you really, really, really, really need me
just let me know
just reach out and touch me, mmm
if you really want me
just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
if you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
if you, if you, if you really need me
just come on and tell me so

What's The Frequency, Kenneth? - R.E.M.


"what's the frequency, kenneth?" is your benzedrine, uh-huh
i was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
i thought i'd pegged you an idiot's dream
tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
i never understood the frequency, uh-huh
you wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines
richard said, "withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
a smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
you said that irony was the shackles of youth
you wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
i never understood the frequency, uh-huh
"what's the frequency, kenneth?" is your benzedrine, uh-huh
butterfly decal, rearview mirror, dogging the scene
you smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
you said that irony was the shackles of youth
you wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
i never understood the frequency, uh-huh
you wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
i couldn't understand
you said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
i couldn't understand
you wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
i couldn't understand
i never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh

Book Of Saturday - King Crimson


If I only could deceive you 
Forgetting the game 
Every time I try to leave you 
You laugh just the same 

'Cause my wheels never touch the road 
And the jumble of lies we told 
Just returns to my back to weigh me down... 

We lay cards upon the table 
The backs of our hands 
And I swear I like your people 
The boys in the band 

Reminiscences gone astray 
Coming back to enjoy the fray 
In a tangle of night and daylight sounds... 

All completeness in the morning 
Asleep on your side 
I'll be waking up the crewmen 
Banana-boat ride 

She responds like a limousine 
Brought alive on the silent screen 
To the shuddering breath of yesterday... 

There's the succour of the needy 
Incredible scenes 
I'll believe you in the future 
Your life and death dreams 

As the cavalry of despair 
Takes a stand in the lady's hair 
For the favour of making sweet sixteen... 

You make my life and times 
A book of bluesy Saturdays 
And I have to chose...

Promises - Eric Clapton


I don't care if you never come home
i don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea
cus i don't love you and you don't love me
You cause a commotion when you come to town
you give 'em a smile and they melt
and your lovers and friends is all good and fine
but i don't like yours and you don't like mine
La la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
I don't care what you do at night
oh, i don't care how you get you delites
we'll leave it alone and just let it be 
i don't love you and you don't love me
I got a problem can you relate 
i got a woman callin' love hate 
we made a vow we'd always be friends
how could we know that promises end
I tried to love for years upon years
you refuse to take me for real 
it's time you saw what i want you to see
i'd still love you if you'd just love me

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - The Platters


Smoke gets in your eyes
the platters 
words by otto harbach and music by jerome kern
Peak billboard position # 1 in 1958
in 1934, four versions charted: paul whiteman (#1), leo reisman (#3), 
emil coleman (#4), and ruth etting (#15)
in 1941 artie shaw took it to # 24.
from the 1933 musical "roberta" starring bob hope

they asked me how i knew my true love was true
i of course replied "something here inside cannot be denied"
they said "someday you'll find all who love are blind"
when your heart's on fire, you must realize smoke gets in your eyes
so i *chaffed* them and i gaily laughed to think they could doubt my love
yet today my love has flown away, i am without my love
Now laughing friends deride tears i cannot hide
so i smile and say "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"
(smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)
Smoke-gets-in-your-eyes

Missing - Everything But The Girl


2-i step off the train
i'm walking down your street again
and past your door, but you don't live there anymore
it's years since you've been there
now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space
you've found some better place
1-and i miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
and i miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
you always were two steps ahead, of everyone
we'd walk behind while you would run
i look up at your house
and i can almost hear you shout down to me
where i always used to be
(repeat 1)
Back on the train, i ask why did i come again?
can i confess, i've been hanging round your old address?
and the years have proved
to offer, nothing since you've moved
you're long gone, but i can't move on
(rpt 1, 2, 1...)
