Charlie & Fred
(clarke / hicks / nash)
He rides on his horse and cart, charlie does.
Working from six until nine.
Collecting old rags and used bicycles,
Old iron of description of any kind.
Here comes charlie, charlie the ragman.
Throw out your old clothes for charlie and fred.
Earning a living off things weve discarded.
Earning enough for the board and the bed.
You hear him shout rags and old iron.
Everyone knows him that way.
Once a week, they come round calling.
How long its been, I cant say.
Chorus
They live all alone in a hovel.
He puts his money away.
Taking enough to just live on,
And at the end of the day
Hes saving enough
To put fred out to graze.

Having A Good Time
(bliss / kipner)
You read the stars
Everyday in the paper
And believe every word they say
You want to know
If Ill always love you
But I cant see tomorrow today
So, I cant guarantee
A happy ending
The story is always unwinding
But right here and now
It doesnt matter
Are you having a good time
You know that Im no fortune teller
I cant predict
How it will be
You need a love that lasts forever
That far ahead
I just cant see
So, I cant guarantee

Sweet Country Calling
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Going down to take a ride on the rock island line
Im gonna meet an old friend of mine
Its gonna be a fine ride if only I can hide
From the man who guards the freighting line
Ive got two thousand miles to go where I want to be
Lady luck stay with me
I wanna be there
I gotta be there
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me its way
Come and bathe in cool clear waters, wash the city dirt away
Oh, sweet country calling, Ive got something to say
When I get back to you, I wont let you down
This time Im gonna stay
I wanna hear, hear the bluegrass
I wanna breathe in the mountain air
I gotta take in all that moonshine
But most of all I wanna see a friend of mine
Last time I saw her she was waving me goodbye
Heading on down the line

Too Many People
(ransford)
Theres a story that I read about in books
About the bad times that people had
Thats how he planned it
You cant do nowt about it
Too many people
The black plague came along and wiped out quite a few
The rats came with the graves, thats how we knew
Thats how he planned it
You cant do nowt about it
Too many people
This aint no story
No fairy tale
These things have happened once before
Ask yourself the question
When will it end
There aint no foolin death
So you just gotta sit and wait
Break
Too many people

Narida
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Na na na na narida
Na na na na narida
Sweet narida backstreeta, no one can beat her at her own game
Joe minnesota owed her, didnt pay, ended up on a different plane
So dont mess around with sweet narida
cos you know no ones gonna beat her
Narida
Sweet narida backstreeta, queen of the avenue girls
Climbed the ladder of success doing
What she knew best have you seen her
Walking down the street in her hoochie-koochie sway
All heads turn, eyes seeing, cant believe it
Knowing what the guys would like to say
But no chance
Narida
Chorus
Hard-headed woman, business-minded, very strong
Self-administrator, didnt take her very long
And I cant blame her turning out the way she did

Look Through Any Window
Look Through Any Window
Hollies
Look through any window, yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town
Where do they go
Moving on their way
Walkin' down the highways and the byways
Where do they go
Moving on their way
People with their shy ways, and their sly ways
Oh, You can see the little children all around
Oh, You can see the little ladies in their gowns, when you
Look through any window, yeah
Any time of day
See the drivers on the roads
Button down their heavy loads
Where do they go
Moving on their way

Stranger
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Down down down town, east side of the river
Bowery boys are living off the street
There stands a stranger all dressed in black
Hes looking for someone - hes gonna knife em in the back
Hit man, g-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the cia
Sneaky petes using his feet, getting off the street cos
Hes got something to hide
Danger, theres a stranger
Intruding in your own backyard
But stranger, theres a danger
Dont come across nobody hard
So tough mixing it rough down in harlem
Theres no honky boys for miles around
But theres that stranger all dressed in white
Hes looking for someone
Hes gonna show em the light, yeah
Hes gonna show em the light, oh yeah
Dont feel safe using the face of fifth avenue
Pin stripe suits aint no disguise if youre not a man thats true

I Want You
(dylan)
The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonely organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But its not that way
I wasnt born to lose you
I want you, I want you
Oh so bad
Baby, I want you
Once a politician leaves
Upon the street where mothers weep
The saviours who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin from my broken cup
And askin me to open up the gate for you
Woh baby I want you
I want you

The Air That I Breathe
(hammond / hazelwood)
If I could make a wish
I think Id pass
Cant think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask
Theres nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe

Stormy Waters
(white)
Stormy waters, I cant find the harbour
Stormy water keeps me away
Stormy waters, I cant try any harder
And all I ask is to know
Im near the bay
I did it again, I let another year roll away
So I pretend that Ive got a reason to say
Im closer to having you
I never should have strayed
I wish it could
Be easier
For me to end someday
Stormy waters, I cant find the harbour
Stormy water keeps me away
Stormy waters, I cant try any harder
And all I ask is to know
Im near the bay
Whatever I did tell me would I do
The same again
