Hold up 04:28
September’s rain is falling With tears in my heart keep calling This road I ride, going nowhere Will you help me friend will you meet me there This world’s tears have brought me to my knees Hold up, hold on, hold tight There’s nothing but trouble in mind tonight Hold up, hold on, hold tight There’s nothing but trouble in mind tonight So the summer’s gone for another year When it comes again will we still be here? Through falling snow and icy winds let’s make a pact to meet in spring If I can believe that you’ll be there for me Chorus And now I can see you’re always there for me Hold up, hold on, hold tight, there’s nothing but loving in mind tonight Hold up, hold on, hold tight, there’s nothing but loving in mind tonight Hold up, hold on, hold tight, there’s nothing but loving in mind

Hustle and bustle, wheelin’ and dealin’ Gonna leave us no time for just being Hustle and bustle, wheeling and dealing Gonna leave us no time for real feeling You gotta stop, take a minute to smell the flowers Stop, take a minute, could last for hours Stop, take a minute in your busy life You’d better stop, take a minute to watch the grass grow Take a minute, it grows so slow Stop and take a minute, it might just save your life. Always wanting, often getting Never satisfied, fussing and fretting Always wanting, usually getting Time in the minute, less time regretting Chorus

There’s always a cloud to climb, always a tune won’t rhyme It’s not always bright, can’t always be right There’s always a day seems far away So dry your tears love for I’m strong enough Come back here love, let’s start again Chorus Dry your tears love for I’m strong enough Come back here love, let’s start again No matter where you go, no matter what you do If you should need me just say the word (say the word) I’ll always be here, waiting for you Chorus And for the times when sticks and stones may break your bones For the times when names will really hurt you Chorus

Other people 03:38
Other People, other people, why Pounded by the driving beat and I’m not even in the driver’s seat Other people’s music makes me feel bad When I need some solitude, sorry if you think it’s rude But too much ‘other people’ makes me feel sad Too much other people can make me feel sad The world is full of other people and the things they say and do World’s so full of other people like you and you and you Other people, other people, why let other people make you feel so bad Other people, other people, why let other people make you feel so bad Why do others want to share the bad news that is everywhere? It’s doom and gloom, now leave the room the bad news bears But if you look, you will see the light that shines in you and me Other people make the world go round Other people, other people, other people make me feel glad, Other people, other people, make me feel glad, make me feel so glad Some of my best friends are other people; lift my spirits when I’m feeling blue Some of my best friends are other people, like you and you and you Whether you’re gay or straight don’t even hesitate If your heart is true believe that you can be so good No matter race or creed cut your finger and you’ll bleed ‘cos people are people under the skin Other people, other people, make us happy make our lives complete We all need people, other people, keep us smiling make it all so sweet Other people, other people…………..

No money 02:42
Got no money, you can’t eat No money, you can’t sleep Got no money, you can’t play With no money you just can’t pay Got no dollars, cents or rupees Got no sterling, some kind of disease No money it’s the worm in your brain All this worry’s going to drive you insane All the bankers and the politicians too They’ve gone and dumped lots of debt on you Gone and dumped lots of debt on you What can you do, what can you say? Does it really have to be this way? Are we gonna have to wait until the judgement day? Are we gonna have to wait until the judgement day?

Girl on a bicycle in the sun Girl on a bicycle having fun She’s swooping and swirling And laughing out loud Flying through the summer like a bird Flying through the summer like a bird All troubles gone like the wind through her hair All troubles gone now she’s devil-may-care As she’s swooping and swirling The sun beating down Flying through the summer like a bird Flies through the summer like a bird And she’s flying, flying, flying, flying Life in that moment so precious and sweet Life in that moment is all it can be As she’s swooping and swirling Her hair streaming out Flying through the summer like a bird Flying through the summer like a bird And she’s flying, flying, flying, flying And she’s flying, flying, flying, flying Flying through the summer like a bird Flies through the summer like a bird

You help to make life whole for me and I hope I do the same for you You help to pick all the pieces up and I wanna do the same, wanna do the same We walk and talk and share our thoughts, you’re always there when I’m down And when I think about the things I’ve got, you’re the best one that’s around You pick me up when I’m feeling down, when I’m no fun to be around Up when I’m down, you turn it around, you pick me up when I’m down You understand where I’m coming from and you hear just what I’m saying And for the times when I need a laugh it’s around you I’ll be staying You pick me up when I’m feeling down, when I’m no fun to be around You understand me and I think I understand you ‘cos you’re my friend, you’re my friend, my friend, friend, friend, friend, friend, friend Gonna stick with you through thin and thick, if I had to choose it’s you I’d pick You’re the whiskers on the cat, a feather in your own cap You’re one of a kind, kind, kind, kind, kind friend And it’s so good to be, so good to be, so good to be, to be your friend, to be your friend………

Call on me 03:08
Sometimes you need the sunshine but the sky is full of grey You want to see the light but it’s darkness all the way You can always call on me, always call on me When you’re looking for that rainbow and get caught in all the rain You know a trouble shared can help you ease the pain You can always call on me, always call on me You can, you can, you can, you can, call on me, call on me You can’t always be wrong and you can’t always be right Only see the darkness when you need to see the light And if you need a friend in the lonely, lonely night You know that you can call on me You can, you can, you can, you can, call on me, call on me You can, you can, you can, you can, call on me, call on me

They say I’m over you How I wish that it were true But in the silence of the night there’s no escape from you I dream of you Although I try not to And the me that others see is shown to be such a lie (such a lie) What makes you think I still love you Scratch the surface and you’ll know it’s true How can you think I still love you Scratch the surface and you’ll know it’s true REPEAT 1ST VERSE AND CHORUS I see you on the street and steel myself to meet your eyes with my lies ‘I’m good, life’s great. How are you?’ And then we go our very different ways What makes you think I still love you Scratch the surface and you’ll know it’s true How can you think I still love you Scratch the surface and you’ll know, you’ll know it’s true I still love you, I still love Scratch the surface and you’ll know, you’ll know

Can you feel the clouds colliding; can you hear the distant thunder roar? I believe a flood is coming like we’ve never seen, never seen, like we’ve never seen before All those people you know their faces; all those people on your screen They don’t make the front page anymore but they’re the survivors, they’re the survivors Survivors of things you just would not believe With hopes and dreams and aspirations They pour out to the sea Washing up on our shores, to our closed hearts and doors And we’re so lucky, you and me Yes I can feel the clouds colliding; I can hear the distant thunder roar And I know a flood is coming like we’ve never seen, like we’ve never seen, never seen before Like we’ve never seen, never seen, like we’ve never seen before

There was a man who as a boy had been a soldier in the war He never talked about the time he was a soldier in the war He never talked about the time He never talked about the time He never talked about the time he was a soldier in the war And all the things he’d seen and things he’d done as a soldier in the war He never talked about the things he’d seen and done as a soldier in the war He never talked about the things He never talked about the things He never talked about the things he’d seen and done as a soldier in the war Many years after he died I heard his story He did not go to fight for his own glory He was a child He was a son He was a brother He was a man He was a friend He was a lover He married a French girl, then divorced her Then wed a Scots girl, through drink he lost her He was tormented by his demons Had seen the devil, knew his dealings He was tormented by his demons Had seen the devil, knew his dealings He was tormented, he was tormented, he was tormented, he was tormented There was a man who as a boy had been to war
