This Cold War With You

The sun goes down and leaves me sad and blue
Even another night of this cold war with you
Though you wont speak and I wont speak its true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through
Oh, why oh why should love ever come
To a couple like you and me
Whos cold cold wars are never done
And hearts cant be free
So, lets do right or lets just say were through
I just cant stand another cold cold war with you
The sun goes down and leaves me sad and blue
Even another night of this cold war with you
Though you wont speak and I wont speak its true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through
Oh, why oh why should love ever come
To a couple like you and me
Whos cold cold wars are never done
And hearts cant be free
So, lets do right or lets just say were through
I just cant stand another cold cold war with you

Jackie O

So you went to a party at jacqueline onassis
If youre so amart why dont you wear glasses
So you can see what youre doin to me
So you can see what youre doin to me
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Underneath your breath you know I heard you cussin
You were talkin to my second cousin
Were you talkin about me
Were you talkin about me
You better put on your glasses so you can see
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Can your daddy get us backstage passes
You know that we love to dance
Can your daddy give us backstage passes
With all his political power
With all his political power
It seems to me like you could dance better than you do
So you went to a party at jacqueline onassis
If youre so smart why dont you ear glasses
So you can see what the future might bring

Silver Bells

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there is a feeling of christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Greeting smile after smile
And on every street corner youll hear.
Silver bells, silver bells
Its christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling hear them ring
Soon it will be christmas day.
Strings of streetlights even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Here the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
It santas big day
And above all the hustle youll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
Its christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling hear them ring
Soon it will be christmas day.

Theyll Never Take Her Love From Me

If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is still one smiling face the gods would see
But shell walk along beside me up those golden stairs
Oh, theyll never, ever take her love from me
What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave
And watch her love turn into sympathy
Its the one regret Ill carry with me to my grave
Oh theyll never, never take her love from me
Im so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the use to be
Someone elses arms may hold her now in fond caress
But theyll never, never take her love from me
Well, I though Id make her happy if Id step aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the morning she became anothers bride
I said theyll never, never take her love from me
Ending:
No, theyll never, never take her love from me

You Mean So Much To Me

A girl meets a guy
A car passes by
The moon shines down on a tree
A kid in the park
Should have been home by dark
You mean so much to me
The snow on the ground
A merry-go_round
A sight that was somethin to see
Some cigarette smoke
Some laughter a joke
You mean so much to me
It seems to be
Like heaven to me
With you at the end of the day
Heres looking at you
Heres looking at me
Dancing with history
That old crocodile
Got a satisfied smile

Baby Lets Play House

You may go to college.
You may go to school
You might drive a pink cadillac
But dont you be nobodys fool
Come back, baby. come back.
Come back, baby. come back.
Come back, baby. I want to play house with you
Listen to me baby.
What Im talking about
Come on back me little girl
So we can play some house.
Come back baby come back
Come back baby gone.
Come back baby I want to play house with you
Well, theres just one thing baby
That I want you to know
Come on back we can play a little house
And we act like we did before.
Come back, baby. come back.
Come back, baby. come back.

Third Of July

It was the third of july on a cool cloudy sky
I set in for a storm in the makin
I relaxed as I sat up in our three room flat
While my wife was in the kitchen bakin
Thoughts passed through my mind of no special kind
Like faces that look like the others
Tomorrow they say is independence day
And I guess Ill go eat at my brothers
I believe that a thought has just gotten caught
In a place where words cant surround it
It concerns the years past and the shadows they cast
And my path as I walk around it.
It was the third of july on a cool cloudy sky
I set in for a storm in the makin
I relaxed as I sat up in our three room flat
While my wife was in the kitchen bakin
Thoughts passed through my mind of no special kind
Like faces that look like the others
Tomorrow they say is independence day
And I guess Ill go eat at my brothers

Often Is A Word I Seldom Use

I know that youre sad
I know that youre lonely
You lie awake till way past when
I want you to know
That Im leaving you only
cause I might not get the chance again.
Chorus:
Im cold and Im tired
And I cant stop coughing
Long enough to tell you all of the news
Id like to tell you
That Ill see you more often
But often is a word I seldom use
Often is a word I seldom use.
Tell me, where did the weekend go?
Tell me, where did the weekend go?
Went like thunder, felt like snow.
Went like thunder, felt like snow.
You must think my lifes a circus
Watching me laughing

Big Fat Love

It started out when she was small
She was premature
She wasnt nothing at all
Two pounds six ounces
A little pumpkin seed
But she got more love
Than you ever gonna need
She got big fat love
She got big fat love
She dont eat enough
To keep her alive
When she bends over
Shes a quarter to five
Skinny little thing
But she aint afraid
To dance the watusi
On a razorblade
She got big fat love
She got big fat love
Tiny little hands

German Afternoons

Sailin around, sailin around, sailin around,
Ive been out sailin around again
Ive been sailin around
But I cant get back to you.
Hangin around, hangin around, hangin around
Ive been out hangin around again
Ive been hangin around
But I cant get back to you.
Chorus:
So tell where you been so long (sailin around)
What have I done so wrong? (sailin around)
Well, Im so glad I finally found you
I cant wait to put my arms around you
Sailin around, but I cant get back to you
Shoppin around, shoppin around, shoppin around,
Ive been shoppin around again
Ive been shoppin around
But I cant get back to you.
Repeat chorus:
Sailin around, sailin around, sailin around,
