Phoebe's playground
years ago the music took my hand
and it showed me all the way.
now I know just who I am,
can you say the same.
does it ever cross your mind?
does anything shine like it did?
and do you know just where you go
when you're always on the way.
when you feel it fallin' down
a piece at a time.
pick it up and ask yourself
what's it all about,
everything goes around and round
whats it all about
ah do you know
on the playground,on the playground
and everybody runs away
and everybody runs and plays.
Phoebe's playground
well I know what you've been told about
all the things you could never be
and as the faces start to fade
they try to cut you ,you won't bleed
and all we are is who we are
and after years it's still the same
and do you know just who you are
when you're still lost in the game
Pre- chorus
Chorus
|
Is human
it's you, it's me
it's all of us
everyday, we find
our different ways to live.
and we, all can fit
into , what we call "our times"
can you see beyond the face, of someone
as everyone belives
and I look around
I see it all.
still I look around
and is human, not good enough?
for you to shake a hand
are you hidin' behind
history's lies
re-write the pages
just take each man for who he is
and not what you see
and is human not good enough?
it's all of us.
blinded by fear, you wear it all.
everyday, you try, to hide your true self
inside.
our world , can't allow,
hate to live inside our minds
can you see behind the lies of the past
and open your eyes
and I look around
I see it all
still I look around
|
Do you wish me all alone
draw the curtains, turn out the light
another day has passed us by.
now it isn't that it isn't here
and everyday is new and there's still love
so we try.
but sometimes all our dreams, just seem so
shy'd away.
and I don't know why, do you know why?
I don't know why, do you know why?
and I wonder as we say goodnight.
Do you wish me all alone or should we try
daylight fades away and it's just you and
I, face to face
will truth hide?
do you wish me all alone or should we try
do you wish me all alone?
let's talk for hours,in candlelight
we'll lock the world outside the door
and I am I and you are you
and we don't have to lose them to be us
we can slide.
and sometimes it's so hard to make the walls
fall away
and I don't know why, do you know why
I don't know why, do you know why
and I wonder as we say goodnight

Rainbow flower
it wasn't always like this, somehow things
have changed
but that don't mean that it's not as good
as it used to be.
am I really like this? no sometimes I'm strange,
but the main ingredient stays the same.
it's the real world in my head,
even though it's colored different, than anything
you've known
and that's why I sing my song, to share my
vision with the world.
everybody, sing along, everybody sing my song
in a rainbow flower covered world,
painted with your mind.
in a rainbow flower covered world,
we are what we need
if you have different faces, can you re-arrange?
if you don't believe , that, sky is sky
was seargent Pepper in command?
on that day that, Paul got busted, with a
little grass in Tokyo
no I don't touch the stuff
I just see things, a little different.
everybody sing along, everybody sing my song
chorus...
Bridge:
did you hear it?
did you hear the singin'
did you hear the flowers singin'?
did you hear the flowers singin'
did you hear the flowers singin'
"Yesterday"
chorus ....

dragonfly cafe
at a table over there, is a guy who ran away,
away
see the couple on the left, the ones in candlelight,
together 20 years, January 12th
to shield a candle from the wind
or maybe just for stoppin' in
on a perfect day..
it's a place with so much history
and it always stays the same,
I like to sit by the window, and wish it would
rain.
the people who came in last week are back
here today
and everybody's got a different story..at
the dragonfly cafe.
remember this from years ago? it's still true
today
can you stay?
we all think that we have changed, we are
still the same
leave a tip of change, all your change.
Rabbits keep warm on your feet,
fish and thyme to eat
lights in all the trees..
Chorus
Bridge: listen to my story, and I'll listen
to yours
is it the same as I've heard before?
everybody's got their own way ,am I yours?
everybody's got their own way
everybody's got their own story
at the dragonfly cafe..
it's a place with so much history, and it
always stays the same
I like to sit by the window,don't you wish
it would rain?
the people who came in last week are back
here today
everybody's got there own story..at the dragonfly
cafe

let it turn
and on the day you come around
to let me entertain you for a while
will I see it rainin' in your mind?
we'll sweep the clouds away.
and you can see some shine again
and I will tell you try again.
I will tell you try, I'll tell you why
You can fly!
I can sing you up
with what I've learned.
whispered words of wisdom
the milk stays in the glass, so let it turn
just let it turn
so many people move to sound.
reflections all the way.
and it's only make belive til you
find what you need.
and it will be this way again,
and I won't have to say again
I will tell you try, I'll tell you why
you can fly
chorus

is all we need
is all we need , to understand,
that everyday our time does fly away.....
follow me , I'll follow you
we'll find, a better place to dream.
hear the talking rain say, It's your world.
and I do believe.
no one can tell us how to live, when we know
it's right.
doesn't it feel right
doesn't it feel nice
doesn't it blow everything away!
is all we need, to understand
that everyday our time does fly away.
is all we need to stand beside...
every day and night, Love is all we need.
everybody's trying to ignore
what we know is real.
but , landing on the moon was once just dreams,
insanely in a mind.
I'm tryin' not to breathe to hard....and spill
this world
that we know is right
doesn't it feel right , doesn't it feel nice
doesn't it blow everything away

Knowing Mr. Blandings
sinners in the sun, people will talk, I sit
the day away.
in black and white, find some other place,
dream the gray away
kiss them for me, I'm much to busy today,
yes I'm much to busy today, today
fill your mind with suspicion
no room for fantasy
bringin' up baby, the best we can
on a cold weekend
did we meet, a long time ago
do you know me do I know you?
have we met, or is it a memory
of knowing mr. blandings
3
what's this charade?
an affair to remember , or just passing time
save it away, and keep it protected from the
real worlds eyes
room for one more, as his girl friday files
it away
his girl friday keeps it filed away.
fill your mind with suspicion,
no room for fantasy
bringin up baby the best we can
on a cold weekend

pirate no.9
waves under sun, sometimes move so slow
it's still so early, your time won't arrive
for a while
and you'll see it all, and you'll hold the
world,
in your hands some day, you'll hold it all
someday
and every man alive, will know your name
the world's in your hands
waves under sun,one for all, one
pirate number 9, you are the one, true of
our time
and if it crossed your mind
I know you could rule the world
pirate number 9, you'll be the one, they all
wanna be
pirate number 9, you are the one
life, time will change, sometimes not your
way.
it's not the winning, it's what's in they're
minds, all the while.
and you've always known,and now it can show
for all time, and face.
no one turns away
and every man alive will know your name
the worlds in your hands
waves under sun, one for all one
chorus
bridge: life, time will change for you
and life's glow will always shine
life, time will change
and you are of me, as you make your way
pre-chorus

songmaker
write a song for me to hear
like the one you wrote last year,
do you take a break for lunch at noon, like
I do
write a song for me to wish I'd written, I
always do
write a song for me to drive home to..
and in your songs,you're sayin' what we all
say
so write your songs, and take me through the
day
songmaker write your songs, somethin to help
us carry on
songmaker write the songs, of life, for me
write a song about all we've been through
lately,
Red ,white, and blue
write a song that I can sing to my baby
write a song of , peace and understanding
we need you to,
write a song that we can fall in love to.
chorus
bridge:
and the songs take you away,
find the stars in the day.
when the night takes you to sleep,
live the songs in your dreams
chorus to end........

all summers
got candles burnin'
all through the evenin'
a cup in the mornin'
do you still sing in the rain, or smile when
the sun hits your face.
do you know how good life is.
and nothin's quite the same, as the smell
in the air after rain
then summer's over way to soon, oh yeah
but the sun will shine again
and it's everything, it's for everyone,
all summers days are for living, all you can
and when other things have, gone that way
another summers day can turn you around
warm breezes blowing, I hear John Lennon,
do you still wish on the stars,
or speed your new train up to mars
do you know how good life is
everything has changed, yet everything remains.
and do you still fly to, the moon, by two.
throw your arms around this world
chorus

across the crowded hat shoppe
sometimes you feel the love, through the haze
of it all.
sometimes I know you think it's gone away.
but every time you feel like walkin' away
it pulls you back to me
it just won't go away, I guess it's real after
all, after all
all I see is you, across this crowded room
while all the world is in view, I only see
you
somethings can seem so cold, in the heat of
real world
where all these heroes, fly through all your
clouds
but if it ever starts to make you doubt
the place you hold with me
remember I won't go away, this is our truth,
after all, after all
all I see is you across this crowded room
while all the world is in view, I only see
you
bridge:
and as always we will stay, and as always
it's today
we can find out what's for real...anyway
sometimes you see the love,
And I guess it's real after all
chorus 2 times..
across the crowded hat shoppe,
everything you dream comes true,
decorate the window of your mind...............
what's it all about , everything goes around
and round.........
