i'll be walking far from here far from misery, towards good cheer and i'll be sailing far from you and everything it is you seem to do you seem to do and the darkest depths you led me to you'll be lonely won't you you'll be lonely cos i wanted you to and i'll be happy by the sea far from lonely i'll finally be free free from you the darkest depths you led me to i'm free to roam oh i'm free to roam i'm free to find my own way home i'd find work in an old coal mine it's the last place that you'd ever find and i'll send a postcard from time to time telling you of the things i'm glad i left behind oh i left behind i hope you don't mind cos i'm free from you the darkest depths you led me to i'm free to roam oh i'm free to roam free to find my own way home and i'm free from you and the darkest depths you led me to nobody ever says what you know they're thinking cept for when they're drinking and i called your bluff when i saw you blinking so i say our paths have to end we'll each go our separate ways nothing lasts forever maybe we'll meet another day when i'm free from you the darkest depths you led me to and i'm free to roam oh free to roam free to find my own way home i'm free from you the darkest depths you led me to oh i'm free to roam oh free to roam i'm free to find my own way home

Ease on up 03:08
there's no need to wear yourself out there's no need to twist and no need to shout don't go tiring yourself with those weary thoughts just remember the ways of the world in which you've been taught and ease on up why don't you ease on up ease on up oh yeah slow right down soon enough your life will turn around remember the birds, trees, bees when they were the only things that you could see and now there's peace and wars and endless chores and money you need to make the world all yours first everything's slow oh and then it's fast but you know you know it won't last cos you worked so hard for this only to find out you didn't pass so ease on up why don't you ease on up well ease on up oh yeah slow right down soon enough your life will turn around you're finding it hard to sleep oh your throat sore you need relief and wishes float downstream into rivers full of hopes and oceans full of dreams so build a bridge but stop at the top don't be scared and you won't drop look way down low and you will see there's no higher place to be, no higher place to be remember all those handshakes on the street all the fun you had and all the people you could meet and oh there will be time for peace and no time for war, but only if this time your feet hit the floor we all hear you cry i'm not asking you to be shy just ease on up why don't you give it a try it's not hakuna or matata not the first one or the other just ease on up it's time to love your brother hey hey, you know it's today love your brother and your mother oh don't you just love one another you're in the summer and you're undercover so just love love love each other ease on up oh yeh slow right down soon enough your life will turn around ease on up why don't you just ease on up?

let me tell you the story of a girl who lived alone in her own little world she was so sweet so nice everything you want twice everything that a lady should be she only had one weakness she knows from the top of her hair on down to her toes she couldn't love another no matter how hard she tried she's stuck on a lonely ghost ride never to let anyone else inside let me tell you the story of a man who lived alone in his own little land he was so rough so mean so tough and so lean everything that a man should be he only had one weakness he knows from the ceiling he built down to the floorboards he chose he couldn't love another no matter how hard he tried he's swimming in a one wave tide never to let anyone else inside and who would've thought that their paths would cross in a tiny old bookstore their words at a loss her hands soft and tender his rough and mean they landed together on a book called together we will be together we will be etched out in history together we will be for the rest of eternity together we will be etched out in history together we will be for the rest of eternity let me tell you the story of a man and the story of a girl who found love in the end they were so sweet so rough so nice and so tough everything that love should be

oh i love the way she talks as she's begging me for more and i love the clothes she wears when they're on my bedroom floor i can't hate the way she stands when she's standing in those underpants i don't really like it when she holds my hand hold something else and i'll be her man but she don't understand see her standing unaware and i see that long brown hair oh i can't stand those puppy-dog eyes the way she always seems to look so surprised wipe that face off of your head and please climb into my bed grow up you're not a baby anymore can't you please stop looking oh so so so so sore oh so so sore begging me for more oh i know my morning will be filled with regret but right now im loving every single bit cos all we ever do is get down and dirty i hate but i really like that short skirty you're wearing where'd you get it where'd you get it from that short skirty you're wearing where'd you get it? oh did you get it from suzanne's? did you get it from suzanne's? oh tell me now did you get from that place that you get all those things that you like? i see her standing unaware and i see that long brown hair oh i cant stand those puppy-dog eyes the way she always seems to look so surprised wipe that face off of your head and please climb into my bed grow up you're not a baby anymore can't you please stop looking oh so so so so sore oh so so sore begging me for more so so sore so so so sore begging me for more so so sore so so so sore begging me for more so so sore so so so sore you're always begging me for more begging me for more

Big Spark... 04:45
i want you back my baby girl, i need you back my baby girl, i'll get you back my baby girl... wah oh here we go, here comes a story 'bout my baby found her in a corner shop where mr. love he came along and picked her up and took her home and found her bones and gave her all her special tones. he played her well until one day he had to tell her it was time to move on down the road. what a load to lose that special thing he spent so long creating. but not to worry about that it's all a part of how she fell into my lap but don't you see it was meant to be this way, all along, meant to be, meant to me, she was meant for me. i want you back my baby girl, i need you back my baby girl, i'll get you back my baby girl... well that mr. love he gave her up and passed her right on down to me, well i was so happy to hold her gently in my arms, whisper to her, keeping her calm. as i played her, well, i somehow found, to my surprise, upon my gazing in her eyes that little "spark, big spark" connection that old mr. love so fondly spoke about. then i realised, again to my surprise, she felt the same way back to me, she said to me "we are now family, you and me, you know we are family." i want you back my baby girl, i need you back my baby girl, i'll get you back my baby girl...

Wajima 04:13
what's that you say? oh we're going away what's that you say? on a holiday what's that you say? all our friends will be there too with all of my boys and a couple of girls days in the snow what a wonderful world when everything just falls into place like having it all there in my embrace who ever knew of a place where dreams can come true it's wajima wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? i woke up in the absence of sunlight my expectations were out of sight and i was not dissapointed with these things beneath my feet oh the rush it felt so sweet and when the day became the night oh we began to recite all these tales of our youth drinking the snowy white vermouth wajima wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? wajima i'm off to bed said the ghostly host maybe another time and as he drifted towards his room he said i'll see ya soon i don't agree with your philosophy you say it works but soon you'll see you'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints oh when the night it came around and suddenly i found all these tales from his youth it started on that snowy white vermouth and we all went out on the town but we nearly drowned oh we were so lucky to make it back only to hear them say we're going away oh we're going home oh oh, oh we're going home wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? wajima woah oh wajima won't you take me back? wajima woah woah wajima won't you take me back?
