Well, lived my life and never stopped to worry 'bout a thing Opened up and shouted out and never tried to sing Wondering if I'd done wrong Will this depression last for long? Won't you tell me Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same Time was on my side and I had everything to gain Let it be like yesterday Please let me have happy days Won't you tell me Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? Ma and Pa look back at all the things they used to do Didn't have no money and they always told the truth Daddy didn't have no toys And mummy didn't need no boys Won't you tell me Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? Well, yesterday was such an easy game for you to play But let's face it things are so much easier today Guess you need some bringing down And get your feet back on the ground Won't you tell me Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone?

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling Flowing into the night People so busy, makes me feel dizzy Taxi light shines so bright But I don't need no friends As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise Every day I look at the world from my window But chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station Every Friday night But I am so lazy, don't want to wander I stay at home at night But I don't feel afraid As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise Every day I look at the world from my window But chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground But Terry and Julie cross over the river Where they feel safe and sound And they don't need no friends As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset They are in paradise Waterloo sunset's fine

When you passed me by You didn't look my way But one thing I know Our love is here to stay And you still want me And you still want me You wanted the sky But I couldn't reach so high I gave you my love But you found some other guy And you still want me And you still want me I know because the smile that's on your lips Is for me They were meant for me to kiss And you were meant to love me darling I'll be around When other guys have gone I'll tell you once more How I still love you so And you still want me And you still want me I know because the smile that's on your lips Is for me They were meant for me to kiss And you were meant to love me darling I'll be around When other guys have gone I'll tell you once more How I still love you so And you still want me And you still want me And you still want me

The tax man's taken all my dough, And left me in my stately home, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything I've got, All I've got's this sunny afternoon. Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa, Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. Now I'm sitting here, Sipping at my ice cold beer, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. Help me, help me, help me sail away, Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime

Baby, you don't know what you're saying, Because you're a victim of bright city lights, And your mind is not right. You think the world's at your feet. 'Cause you're starstruck, baby, starstruck. Taken in by the lights, Think you'll never look back, You know you're starstruck on me. Baby, you're running around like you're crazy. You go to a party and dance through the night, And you'll drink 'till you're tight, And then you're out on your feet. 'Cause you're starstruck, baby, starstruck. Taken in by the lights, Think you'll never look back, You know you're starstruck on me. Baby, watch out or else you'll be ruined, 'Cause once you're addicted to wine and champagne, It's gonna drive you insane, Because the world's not so tame. And you're starstruck, baby, starstruck. You're taken in by the lights, Think you'll never look back, You know you're starstruck on me. Don't you know that you are, Starstruck on me. And you always will be, Starstruck on me. Starstruck on me.

I met her in a club down in old Soho Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca-cola See-oh-el-aye cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola Well I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola Well we drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said dear boy won't you come home with me Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola I pushed her away I walked to the door I fell to the floor I got down on my knees Then I looked at her and she at me Well that's the way that I want it to stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well I left home just a week before And I'd never ever kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man Well I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man And so is Lola La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Dandy, Dandy, Where you gonna go now? Who you gonna run to? All your little life You're chasing all the girls. They can't resist your smile. Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy. Chattin' up the ladies, Tickling their fancy, Pouring out your charm To meet your own demands, And turn it off at will. Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy. Knockin' on the back door, Climbing through the window, Hubby's gone away, And while the cat's away The mice are gonna play. Oh, they low down Dandy, Dandy. Dandy Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast, And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past. Look around you and see the people settle down, And when you're old and grey you will remember what they said, That two girls is too many, three's a crowd and four you're dead. Oh Dandy, Dandy, When you gonna give up? Are you feeling old now? You always will be free, You need no sympathy, A bachelor you will stay, And Dandy, you're all right. You're all right.

Where are you going I don't mind I've killed my world and I've killed my time So where do I go what do I see I see many people coming after me So where are you going to I don't mind If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die So I will follow you wherever you go If your offered hand is still open to me Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one So you've been where I've just come From the land that brings losers on So we will share this road we walk And mind our mouths and beware our talk 'Till peace we find tell you what I'll do All the things I own I will share with you If I feel tomorrow like I feel today We'll take what we want and give the rest away Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one Holy man and holy priest This love of life makes me weak at my knees And when we get there make your play 'Cos soon I feel you're gonna carry us away In a promised lie you made us believe For many men there is so much grief And my mind is proud but it aches with rage And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one

I always knew that they'd get me somehow sooner or later, But with a bullet in the head, a knife in the back, Not a pocket calculator. Sorry mister, you're all wiped up, You're all washed up, Sold you out. Got no dreams, got no ambition, Can't decide, 'cause there's no decision, Got no claim to any position, Can't compete with the competition. You're always complaining, It's so depressing, But if you're old enough, Start to confess it. You say, you sold me out, To get a better deal for yourself, You sold me out, And now we want some of your precious wealth, Because you sold me out. Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out. You sold me out, To get a better deal for yourself. You sold me out, And now it's every man for himself. Work all your life, put the money in the bank, Sign on the dotted line. Try to draw it out, the joke's on you, Put up the empty sign. Sorry mister, we're all sold out. Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out. You, I'm talkin' to you. You sold me out, To get a better deal for yourself. You sold me out, And now we want some of your precious wealth. And sell you out, Like you sold me out. Are you in so deep, that you can't get out? Got no dreams, got no ambition, Can't decide, 'cause there's no decision, Got no claim to any position, Can't compete with the competition. Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out.

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus Though I knew it was my dad And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas Open my presents and I'd be glad But the last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and mugged me And knocked my reindeer to the floor They said: Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys. We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit Don't give my sister a cuddly toy We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money We only want the real McCoy Father Christmas, give us some money We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one He's got lots of mouths to feed But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun So I can scare all the kids down the street Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys Have yourself a merry merry Christmas Have yourself a good time But remember the kids who got nothin' While you're drinkin' down your wine Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys Father Christmas, please hand it over We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Oh Dandy, Dandy, When you gonna give up? Are you feeling old now? You always will be free, You need no sympathy, A bachelor you will stay, And Dandy, you're all right. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right.

Where are you going I don't mind I've killed my world and I've killed my time So where do I go what do I see I see many people coming after me So where are you going to I don't mind If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die So I will follow you wherever you go If your offered hand is still open to me Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one So you've been where I've just come From the land that brings losers on So we will share this road we walk And mind our mouths and beware our talk 'Till peace we find tell you what I'll do All the things I own I will share with you If I feel tomorrow like I feel today We'll take what we want and give the rest away Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one Holy man and holy priest This love of life makes me weak at my knees And when we get there make your play 'Cos soon I feel you're gonna carry us away In a promised lie you made us believe For many men there is so much grief And my mind is proud but it aches with rage And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one

I always knew that they'd get me somehow sooner or later, But with a bullet in the head, a knife in the back, Not a pocket calculator. Sorry mister, you're all wiped up, You're all washed up, Sold you out. Got no dreams, got no ambition, Can't decide, 'cause there's no decision, Got no claim to any position, Can't compete with the competition. You're always complaining, It's so depressing, But if you're old enough, Start to confess it. You say, you sold me out, To get a better deal for yourself, You sold me out, And now we want some of your precious wealth, Because you sold me out. Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out. You sold me out, To get a better deal for yourself. You sold me out, And now it's every man for himself. Work all your life, put the money in the bank, Sign on the dotted line. Try to draw it out, the joke's on you, Put up the empty sign. Sorry mister, we're all sold out. Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out. You, I'm talkin' to you. You sold me out, To get a better deal for yourself. You sold me out, And now we want some of your precious wealth. And sell you out, Like you sold me out. Are you in so deep, that you can't get out? Got no dreams, got no ambition, Can't decide, 'cause there's no decision, Got no claim to any position, Can't compete with the competition. Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out, Sold me out.

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus Though I knew it was my dad And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas Open my presents and I'd be glad But the last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and mugged me And knocked my reindeer to the floor They said: Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys. We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit Don't give my sister a cuddly toy We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money We only want the real McCoy Father Christmas, give us some money We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one He's got lots of mouths to feed But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun So I can scare all the kids down the street Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys Have yourself a merry merry Christmas Have yourself a good time But remember the kids who got nothin' While you're drinkin' down your wine Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys Father Christmas, please hand it over We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys
