Salesman

Salesman, well, you're going to go sell all of your goods today,
Salesman, going to walk along the street, see friends along the way,
Whoa, salesman, with your wooden cart that you push along while you walk,
Hey, salesman, got a little dog whose tail wags when you talk,
You always wear a smile, even though you got to walk ten miles,
Short lifespan, good-time-salesman.

Yep, yep, salesman, running on the street, whether it's hot or cold,
It's salesman, well, you work real hard till every pot is sold,
Salesman, as the years go by, people changing every day,
Hey, salesman, till the end of time, you'll be living in the same way,
You always wear a smile, you're loving fast and you live wild,
Short life span, but ain't life grand?

Copper kettles, different kinds of tin,
There goes salesman and he's sailing high again,
He's sailing so high, (High)
He's sailing so high, (High)
He's sailing so high, (High)
High, (High)
High, (High)

Oh, salesman, well, you're going to go sell all of your goods today,
Yep, salesman, going to walk along the street, see friends along the way,
Hey, salesman, with your wooden cart that you push along while you walk,
Hey, salesman with your secret goods that you push while you talk,
You always wear a smile even though you got to walk a hundred and ten miles,
Short life span, but the whole thing's grand.

Salesman,
Salesman,
Salesman,
Salesman.

Cuddly Toy

La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la n'da n'da,
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la n'da n'da.

You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy,
You're not the only choo-choo train
That was left out in the rain the day after Santa came,

You're not the only cherry-delight
That was loved in the night and gave up without a fight,
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy.

You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep,
I never told you that: "to love no other",
You must of dreamed it in your sleep.

You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy,
You're not the only choo-choo train
That was left out in the rain the day after Santa came,

You're not the only cherry-delight
That was loved in the night and gave up without a fight,
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy.

You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep,
I never told you that: "to love no other",
You must of dreamed it in your sleep.

You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy,
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy.

La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la n'da n'da,
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la n'da n'da.
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la......

No Time

Hobber, reeber, sabosoben, hobber, seeber, sneck,
Seeber, rabber, hobbersoben, what did you expect?

No time, (No time, no time at all)
No time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do. (No time, no time at all)

Running from the rising heat to find a place to hide,
The grass is always greener growing on the other side.

No time, (No time, no time at all)
Ah, no time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do (No time, no time at all)

Rock on, George for Ringo, one time...
(Solo)
Ahhh...there's just NO time...

No time, (No time, no time at all)
No time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do (No time, no time at all)

(Solo)

No time, (No time, no time at all)
No time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do (No time, no time at all)

Try to tell the world, somehow, of how I feel
Tell me what you said again, I can't believe it's real

No time, (No time, no time at all)
I got no time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do (No time, no time at all)

Andy, you're a dandy, you don't seem to make no sense,
Nevermind the furthermore, the plea is self defense!

No time, (No time, no time at all)
Got no time for you. (No time, no time at all)
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do (No time, no time at all)

No Time, no time at all. (I got no time!)
(Repeat & Fade)

Shades of Gray

When the world and I were young, just yesterday,
Life was such a simple game, a child could play.

It was easy then to tell right from wrong,
Easy then to tell weak from strong,
When a man should stand and fight or just go along.

But, today there is no day or night,
Today there is no dark or light,
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.

I remember when the answer seemed so clear,
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.

It was easy then to tell truth from lies,
Selling-out from compromise,
Who to love and who to hate,
The foolish from the wise.

But, today there is no day or night,
Today there is no dark or light,
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.

(Solo)

It was easy then to know what was fair,
When to keep and when to share,
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care.

But, today there is no day or night,
Today there is no dark or light,
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray,
Only shades of gray.

You Told Me

You told me you'd always stay, you told me,
You told me you'd never stray, you told me,
All these things you said you said sincerely,
Still, I am leaving you in spite of what you told me.

I've heard things that did not match what you told me,
And of your love that would not last as you told me,
Forewarned is forearmed, it hurts, I'm leaving,
I may be wrong I can't love what I'm just hearing.

Times have made me shy
Of all the things you're saying,
Times have made me shy
Of girls and all the games that they are playing.

Someday, I may see the truth of what you told me,
I may find I left too soon and that you told me,
Only things that you were honestly feeling,
But, I must have more to love than what you told me,
(I must have more to love than what you told me)
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me,
(I must have more to love than what you told me)
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me.

I'm a Believer

I thought love was only true in fairy tales,
Meant for someone else, but not for me,
Oh, love was out to get me,
That's the way it seemed,
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer,
Not a trace of doubt in my mind,
I'm in love,
I'm a believer,
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a giving thing,
Seems the more I gave, the less I got,
What's the use in trying,
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine, I got rain.

Then I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer,
Not a trace of doubt in my mind,
I'm in love,
I'm a believer,
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

(Solo)

Oh, love was out to get me,
Now that's the way it seemed,
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Oh, then I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer,
Not a trace of doubt in my mind,
I'm in love,
Oh, I'm a believer,
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Yes, I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer,
Not a trace of doubt in my mind,
Said, I'm a believer,
yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah,
Said, I'm a believer, yeah,

Sweet Young Thing

I know that something very strange
Has happened to my brain.
I'm either feeling very good
Or else I am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
And I feel that I must yield,
Before the wisdom of a child.

And it's love you bring,
No, that I can't deny.
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.

People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But I resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down.
I'm turned on to the sunset,
Like I've never been before.
And I listen for your footsteps
And your knock upon the door.

And it's love you bring,
No, that I can't deny.
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.

And it's love you bring,
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things,
When I see it in your eyes,
Sweet young thing.

Take a Giant Step

Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost,
I will melt your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time you felt like you did then.
There's just no percentage in remembering the past,
It's time you learned to live again at last.

Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant outside your mind.

You stare at me in disbelief,
You say for you there's no relief,
But I swear I'll prove you wrong.
Don't sit in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom.
That's not where you belong
Come with me I'll take you,
Where the taste of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen.

Come with me, leave yesterday behind,
And take a giant step outside your mind.

(Instrumental)

Come with me, I'll take you
Where the taste of life is green,
And everyday holds wonders to be seen.

Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.

Last Train To Clarkesville

Take the last train to Clarkesville,
And I'll meet you at the station.
You can be there by four thirty,
'Cause I've made your reservation.
Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

'Cause I'm leaving in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
'Til the morning brings my train.
And I must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarkesville.
I'll be waiting at the station.
We'll have time for coffee-flavoured kisses
And a bit of conversation.
Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

Take the last train to Clarkesville,
Now I must hang up the phone. Railroad station all alone.
I'm feeling low. Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarkesville,
And I'll meet you at the station.
You can be there by four thirty,
'Cause I've made your reservation.
Don't be slow. Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarkesville,
Take the last train to Clarkesville,
(Repeat and fade)

I Wanna be Free

I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, dont try me,
say good bye.

I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me say you like me,
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
woh-oh-oh.

I wanna hold your hand,
Walk along the sand
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun.
Doing all those things,
Without any strings
To tie me down.

I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe.
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe.
Again, babe, I gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

The Poster

"The circus is coming to town!", it said on the poster,
"Get your tickets now, before it's too late!",
A dancing bear and a circus clown, it's so funny,
Whoa, I can't wait to see everything there.

I feel like I'm already there,
I must see her fly through the air.

Horses running round and round in a circle,
I can't wait to see everything there,
I wonder if it's just like they say on the poster,
If it is, I know I will be there.

(Solo)

I feel like I'm already there,
I must see her fly through the air,
I feel like I'm already there,
I must see her fly through the air.
