Who Am I To Judge?

Who am I to judge?
Who am I to sit next to you on the bus?
I like my ladies cellophane wrapped when I can get 'em
I like my ladies in polythene bags when I can
Well the blokes in tinted glasses
They're the ones who work for me
We're gonna blot out all copies of Whitechapel Road
And set the tenants free
You know a singer's life is oh so dull
Except when he's onstage
And the girls he attracts
And the creases in his pants
Begin to show his age
But who am I to judge
When the girl I love shakes her body like that?
But who am I to judge?
I haven't even changed my underwear
But who am I to judge?
I don't even know what dichotomy means
But who am I to judge?
'Cos I love Marilyn Monroe

Please don't be sad tonite
Please don't be sad tonite
You've only to open up your eyes
You've only got to kiss me
Be mine tonite
Don't sit and cry all night
Just because he didn't treat you right
You've only to hold back those tears
You've only got to kiss me
Be mine tonite
I won't tell you that I love you
I won't ask you about him
You've only to smile a little smile
You've only got to kiss me
And girl, be mine tonite

Caravan Song
01:31

Well, the moon was a stranger in a far-off land
The midgets danced to a cricket band
But the grass rose up to give me a hand
Under the caravan lights
I followed my footsteps and began to jive
The trees closed their eyes, in case I was shy
But the midgets whispered "who is that guy
Under the caravan lights?"
Well, soon after daybreak my strength began to sap
So I stepped down and the hills began to clap
The rain began to pour, so I went in for my mac
Into the caravan

Cry Inside

She's so accomplished in your eyes
There's nothing you can do to surprise her
How can you tell her that you need her?
How can you tell her what you feel?
You just cry inside
And in the morning when you see her
You feel so sad when she's near
How can you tell her that you need her?
How can you tell her what you feel?
You just cry inside
But although she's a girl of many charms
She hasn't been held in anyone's arms
The truth of the matter is.......
She's so very shy too
So give her a smile next time she's there
And she'll understand that you really care
How can she tell you that she needs you?
How can she tell you what she feels?
She just cries inside

When I Say

When I say that I love you
Please believe that it's true
When I say that I love you
Please believe that it's true
There ain't no other man
Loved you the way I do
I won't run around
Like I used to do
I won't run around
Like I used to do
Because when I've got you honey
I'll stay home and love you
Well....I've had girls before
And I've loved a few
But there was no-one darling
To compare with you
Well I've loved girls before
And I gave all I've got
But as soon as I saw you
I knew.....you'd top the lot
When I say that I love you
Please believe that it's true
When I say that I love you
Please believe that it's true
There ain't no other man
Loved you the way I love you

High Horses
01:42
|
|
||
|
Turning through the sideways glances
Heading for my goal
The shattered doors keep on revolving
As I near your home
Must you keep me on high horses?
Will we ever cry?
Cannot we just go on dancing
Until we reach the sky?
And when the fleeting mists are parted
We will end our war
You can open and let me in
And then we'll close the door
When the day begins to dawn
Upon my shattered frame
The sun will rise up in the sky
I hope you'll feel the same

Babysong

I don't want a baby peeing in my arms
I don't want a baby's cute little charms
I don't want a house full of baby alarms
But you want a baby
I don't want my child to see this earth
To feel the misery I've felt since birth
I don't want her to be treated like dirt
But you want a baby
I don't want to be treated rough
We agreed, you know, just you and me
I don't want a child to split us up
But you want a baby

Seventh Day

On the seventh day we will go away
To a place no higher than heaven
Now is the peaceful time when you say you are mine
And we'll both begin by chanting
On the seventh day
On the seventh day we will go away
To a place no higher than heaven
We will make our way through this endless play
To the stage of the bread unleavened
On the seventh day
Making holy signs as we drink the wine
And the sun sets over the mountain
Now is the peaceful time when you say you are mine
And we'll both begin the shouting
On the seventh day
On the seventh day when we made love
On the seventh day in heaven above
On the seventh day
On the ninth day we must go away
To the place that has been appointed
As we follow the ley we can think of the way
That the world is so dis-jointed
On the seventh day
