Dream Within a Dream

Here I stand amid the roar
Of a surf tormented shore
And I hold within my hand
Grains of a golden sand
How few how yet they creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep, while I weep

Oh God can I not grasp
One with a tighter clasp
Oh God can I not save
One from the pitiless wave
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
But a dream, but a dream

Take this kiss upon the brow
And in parting from you now
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
But a dream, but a dream

Boom Boom

Boom, boom, boom, boom.
I'm gonna shoot you right down,
Knock you off of your feet,
And take you home with me.
Put you in my house.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love to see you strut
When you're walking to me.
When you're talking to me,
That knocks me out.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.
You know I like it like that,
With your baby-talk,
Oh and the way that you walk.
You know it knocks me right down,
Knocks me off of my feet.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
How, how, how, how.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, now, now, now.

I'm Confused

I'm dazed and confused,
Is it stay, is it go?
I'm being abused,
And I think I should know,
Come on baby,
I'm starting to crack,
If you're out to get me,
You're on the right track.
Hey!
Hey, hey!

I'm dazed and confused,
Hanging on by a thread,
Come on baby,
Do you want me dead?
I can arrange that for a dollar or two.
I can't remember,
Anything about you.
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!

Hey!

I'm dazed and confused,
Hanging on by a thread,
I'm being abused,
I'd be better off dead,
If you're out to get me,
You're on the right track,
Quittin' teasin',
I'm starting to crack.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Hey, hey, hey!

I Remember The Night

I remember the night,
I was holding you tight,
And I'll never forget how you were.

You had brocades of blue,
And an umbrella too,
And a beautiful long piece of fur.

And as I held you close,
And you'd propose a toast,
With champagne; and I'd cry out "Yes sir!"

And we took all our cares,
Up the apples and pears,
And I'll always remember the night.

Velvet and lace,
What an awful disgrace,
With the man who was sick in your soup.

He was rude, wasn't he,
And I told him to flee,
But he gave me a punch in the tooth.

Then he left, but before,
All the brandy he poured,
Down your dress, and you raised the roof.

And we took all our cares,
Up the apples and pears,
How well I remember the night.

I'll always remember the night.

Farewell

Looking at the world around,
For the very first time.
Never seen it all before,
Hope it's not all mine.

On Monday morning all alone,
I woke within my house of stone.
I ventured forth unto the day,
These things I saw upon my way.

Trees and flowers were wrapped around,
With people's castoffs on the ground.
Roads and noise of glass and steel,
And people snared within the wheel.

Tuesday looked into the sky,
Where birds in peace were left to fly.
Thunder rolled and lightning flashed,
I watched the world as people dashed.

Friday's sadness began to creep,
Upon me like the deepest sleep.
It seemed that only I could see,
Just what my world would finally be.

On Sunday back inside my room,
I draw the blinds, 'tis afternoon.
I let my mind find its own ways,
Farewell to future days.

Knowing

Laughed and loved, when others sang,
Their songs of love, nothing rang,
Of truth to me.
And then I did not see reality,
But now I know.

Sad in mind, I thought I'd lost,
Someone who would share the cost,
Of being here.
But now you're always near,
And I must sing.

Knowing 'bout the happiness,
Of sharing nights with you.
Knowing 'bout the loneliness,
When I'm away from you.
Knowing is another song,
But this time for you.

Always wanting things not there,
Making fun, I didn't care,
For other's dreams.
But now to me it seems,
That I was wrong.

Knowing 'bout the happiness,
Of sharing nights with you.
Knowing 'bout the loneliness,
When I'm away from you.
Knowing is another song,
But this time for you.

I see when lovers cry,
They're trying to touch the sky,
But only find,
Their arms are only blind,
To pains of love.

Little Games

Little games are for little boys,
I'm growing up and changing all my toys,
Aeroplanes, motor cars, goldfish in old jam-jars,
I just don't play these games no more.
Little games are for little boys,
Loving games are for bigger boys,
Parties in Chelsea flats,
Mixing with kinky cats,
Are games I wanna play some more.

Ooh, what they're doing to me,
Darling it's so plain to see,
My temperature's rising,
But that's not surprising,
When you do what you do to me.

Little games are for little boys,
I found out there are other joys,
Marjory, Josephine, Susie and Catherine,
They help me in my little games.

Ooh, what they're doing to me,
Darling it's so plain to see,
My temperature's rising,
But that's not surprising,
When you do what you do to me.

Little games are for little boys,
I found out there are other joys,
Marjory, Josephine, Susie and Catherine,
They help me in my little games.

My, my, my, my, my, my, my,
Play my little games,
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,
Say I need you, I need you...

My Girl Sloopy

Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.
Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.

Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town.
All the little girls there are trying to put poor sloopy down.
Sloopy, I don't care what you're daddy do.
You know little girl, I'm in love with you.

All together now,
Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.
Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.

Sloopy lets her hair down every time she's out on the town,
- Hang on sloopy.
Sloopy lets her hair down every time she's out with me,
- Hang on sloopy.
Come on sloopy,

Come on girl.

Good, good, good, good.

I wanna say aaahh - aaahh - aaahh.
Hang on sloopy.

Mmmm, baby don't you know,
You thrill me so.
I love you so,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, baby.
Love the way that you dance,
Give me one chance.
And I'll sweep you away.
I wanna say aaahh - aaahh - aaahh.
Hang on sloopy.

Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.
All together now,
Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.
A little bit quieter.
Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.
All down.
Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.
Psss, whisper it.
Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.
Very, very quiet.
Hang on sloopy,
Sloopy, hang on.
Come on sloopy,
Come on, come on.
Yeah, now come on girl.
Come on, come on.
Come away with it sloopy,
Come away with it little girl.

Love the way you walk,
Love the way you talk, baby.

Shapes in My Mind

Shapes in my mind,
My eyes are closed.
The colours cry,
My brain explodes.
My body shrinks into my head,
I must have help or I'll be dead.

Please!

You've got to make be break this spell.
You've got to give me all your help.
You've got to stop my spinning brain.
You've got to be with me again.

I see your face,
I see your smile,
I see the eyes that used to cry.
I see the lips I used to kiss,
I can't forget.
I see you standing all alone,
I see the things that I did wrong.
I see I didn't try enough,
To give you love.

The love you gave,
And left behind,
Has dropped and burned inside my mind.
I can't see out,
I can't see in,
I know I'm lost, I can't explain,
The pain I felt is here again.
I've nothing left,
Is this the end?
