Mr. Webster

By tommy boyce and bobby hart
Ev'ryone in town knew mr. webster;
He worked at the bank for forty years.
And each week mr. frizby made his check out
For sixty-eight dollars clear.
And thru the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies
And each time frizby promised him a raise.
They gave a retirement party for mr. webster
Everyone from the bank was there.
They had a cake and flowers ordered special
And frizby had a speech prepared.
And a little white box that held a watch with this inscription
"to mr. webster, with regards."
Then came the telegram from mr. webster
Said, "sorry...stop...cannot attend..
I've flown away and taken all your money
Wish you were here to help me spend."
And one by one all the people left the party
And mr. frizby locked the door.

Counting On You

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two
One of these days Ill be back with you
Counting the ways that I love you
Through and through
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Tentatively you put up the signs
Letting me know you are mine
And Im counting on you
To be here through it all
Im counting on you
To catch me if I fall
Whatever you do, remember
Im always counting on you
Flight six, eight, one, gate forty-two
At seven fifteen Ill feel ten feet tall
Knowing you care after all
And Im counting on you
To be here through it all
Im counting on you
To catch me if I fall

Ticket On A Ferry Ride

By jeff barry and bobby bloom
I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I wonder if she knows
That I dont really want to go, oh no
I still love her so.
I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I never though the day
Would come when I would say good bye this way
Wanted so to stay.
I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I still love her so.
Dont really wanna go.
I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I wonder if she knows
That I dont really have to go, oh no
I still love her so.
I got a ticket on a ferry ride.

Looking For The Good Times

Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have my fun
Looking for the good times, baby
Girl you can come along with me
Wow, youre gonna see
Just how fine this big old world can be
Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have a ball
Lookiong for the good times, baby
You can share it all
Theres more to life than youve been living, girl
You can share it all
Theres things to do that you aint thought of yet
You can share it all
So let me be the one to do the giving, girl
You can share it all
Youll find the things you thought you couldnt get
Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have my fun
Looking for the good times, baby

Tema Dei Monkees

by Jeff Barry
Oh, tell me, love and tell me truly,
Do you believe this is forever?
Well, I'll tell you, love, that I believe you,
Oh, when you tell me that you will leave me never.
Oh, tell me, love, are my words a waste?
Tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you.
And tell me, love, do you know you amaze me?
You keep changing for the better with every passing day,
Well, I'll tell you, love, sometimes it kind of scares me,
I've got to keep on getting to you so you don't get away.
Oh, tell me, love, are my words a waste?
And tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you.
So, tell me, love,
Please, tell me, love,
Tell me, love.
Back to Changes
Do You Feel It Too?

Circle Sky

(michael nesmith)
Screen gems/emi (bmi)
Lead vocal: mike nesmith
From justus (see also head)
Circle sky
Telling lies
Raison d'etre
Idol threat
'cause it looks like we made it once again
Yes, it looks like we made it once again
Color sound
Run aground
Seagull sails
Holy grail
'cause it looks like we made it once again
Yes, it looks like we made it once again
It's a very extraordinary scene
To those who don't understand
But what you have seen you must believe
If you can, if you can

Writing Wrongs

By michael nesmith
Did you know the waters turning yellow?
Have you heard the sky was falling down?
Did you see that guy fall out the window?
Did you know the circus was in town?
Have you heard about bill chambers mother?
She said, a womans work is never done.
And, oh yes, about that yellow water,
Have you noticed the color of the sun?
You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal.
Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel?
[instrumental interlude]
Well, I hope you finally got my letter.
It should have come about this time last year.
And I hope bill chambers mothers better.
Oh, dear! the moons just disappeared.
You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal.
Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel?

Just A Game

Theres a way
Theres a way for you and i
If youll just stay.
If youll just stay to keep me hidden from the day,
And all its light,
Thats covered up by night when youre away.
When youre away the image of your face is clear,
It is clear across the room and I am here,
Against the wall, afraid that it is all
Just a game.
Just a game thats played in fun
But not too real.
Not too real to take a chance on finding out
Youve really lost.
I cant see you clearly while Im here.
While Im here and you are in my state of mind.
My state of mind is changing places all the time,
And I am lost
Trying to get across another time.
When youre away the image of your face is clear,

Do Not Ask For Love

Do not ask for love (prithee)
And is it so, once you thou art returning?
Hast thou lost thy way as once before?
I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be.
I shall not be thy refuge once more.
Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
And i am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.
But i shan't hear thee as before.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.
So go my way, and soon i shall go likewise.
And if thy path be high, then be mine low.
Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not.
For soon they shall be covered with snow.
Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me
And i am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.
But i shan't hear thee as before.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.
I prithee, do not ask for love once more.

Love Is Only Sleeping

She looked at me
And the emptiness in her eyes was cruel to see
Then she turned away and said,
Once I loved, but love is dead
And I whispered, sometimes love is only sleeping
She said, I cannot cry
And I cannot give or feel or even try
And her voice was hard and cold
Then her sweet young face looked old
And I whispered, sometimes love is only sleeping
Through the endless days and nights
Could not help but wrap herself in sorrow (sorrow)
Through the endless days and nights
She waited for a shiny new tomorrow
Love was sleeping, sleeping
She looked at me
And her smiling tears were warm and sweet and free
And the moonlight kissed her eyes
As it mingled with our sighs
And she whispered, sometimes love is only sleeping
