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
 
chorus
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
 
chorus...
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
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.........
