Sandie' s gone
Listen to the bluebird crying in the air
He's just heard, Sandie's gone, Sandie's gone Looking at the whip rower,
there's always none to spare
Shed a new tear, Sandie's gone, Sandie's gone Some people say
there ain't nothing like being a man
Be that as it may,
I just couldn't give a damn
There are times in a man's life
when all he wants to do
is lay down and die What good is being a man
when the boy inside you wants to cry? The sun heard all about it,
his tears they fell like rain
What a shame, Sandie's gone, Sandie's gone The winter came unnoticed
and took me unaware
I don't care, Sandie's gone, Sandie's gone And some people say
there ain't nothing like being a man.
Be that as it may,
I just couldn't give a damn.
There are times in a man's life
when all he wants to do
is lay down and die. What good is being a man
when the boy inside you wants to cry? Sandie's gone, Sandie's gone

Heading home again
I'm going away till tomorrow come
I wanna see what the new day's brung
And if the weather's favorable
and it don't look like rain,
I'll pack my bags and head home again
I wanna be where that green grass grows
I wanna see the place I love the most
Where they know very little
about sorrow and pain
I'm gonna pack my bags and head home again
I'm gonna soak in all those familiar faces,
pull myself together as we gaze upon each other
I'll tell them all about those far away places
I'll tell my sister and tell my brother,
laugh with my faffy and cry with my mother
I'm getting tired of all this hanging 'round
And just as soon as first I'm settled down,
I'm gonna swallow up my pride
and bury down my shame
I'm gonna pack my bags and head home again
Yeah

Unco-up showband blues
Well, I tell all you pretty girls
Hey, all you pretty girls
with your pretty faces
Yeah, I wanna tell all you pretty girls
Mm, all you pretty girls
with your pretty faces
You know, do you ever meet these girls, baby
Ho, but I say nothing and made no mistakes
I got a job in a showband
Working like a slave
six nights and every Sunday
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You know they put me,
put me on a weekly wage
But I say nothing, no, and made, made no mistakes
I got a job in a showband
Working like a slave
six nights and every Sunday
Tadda-da, tadda-da, tadda-da,
tadda-da, tadda
Baby, baby, hey I'm old,
do you ever meet, ever meet these girls
But I say nothing and never made my big mistake.

Oi' ll tell you later
I think I could tell you what you need
Come with us in the past where my virtue weren't here.
People wouldn't understand
if I told them we were friends
But it's not them I care about,
it's just a love that never mends
You can laugh and have fun with others
when you're runnin' around the town
And I wish I knew what made you get in touch with me
when things are down

It's hard to accept this fact,
that all you wanna do is talk
People that you tell about
would hardly settle for a walk
But how can it be done again,
with someone you already know all about?
These are just the kind of friends
I can easily do without

You can laugh and have fun with others
when you're runnin' around the town
But I wish I knew what makes you get in touch with me
when things are down

I've said it before and I'll say it again
'Cause nothing than us ever gonna heals this pain
that I've been left here waiting for,
something that's gonna turn up for the best
The time has come once more,
for these thoughts need the rest
The man who never was
Once, early on a crystal morning
A punch at her hus's,
it came without a warning
The man who never was
and who never will be
His horse is slightly shored,
number two score and three I spotted him unpaled
against a frightened cloud
Knew from the way he was going,
he was heading south
The man who never was
and who never will be
Racing through the air
in preferance to land or sea The man who never was
was the man who never is
And the man who never was or is
would always feel like this
And if I were the man
who never was or is,
I would always feel there was something
I had missed or lost Shouting to a steedge
as they spread across the sky
Picking up spin
as the clouds began to dry
The man who never was
and who never will be,
tracing a weary path of his infinity  

Felicity
Felicity, you and me,
could we make it three
if we only had the time?
Imagine life as man and wife
would be as yours and yours as mine, yeah
Never mind the weather, birds of a feather,
we'll stick together won't we, Felicity?
When on the roads, drive carefully
Remember you belong to me,
don't take chances in the sea
We'll sit and watch the sunshine charge
and maybe cover our eyes,
tell the man to turn the power off the TV
We'll have a small celebration,
just a few weeks vacation
Whatever I do, we're free,
you and me, Felicity, yeah
Never mind the weather, birds of a feather,
we'll stick together won't we?
But still you're just a dream
I'm talking 'bout Felicity

Morning star avenue
Nothing to lie in your pockets,
don't give it a thought till later on
Like a bulb without a socket,
no one will bother to turn you on
But who wants to know,
who wants to know?
No one wants to know
Who wants to know,
who wants to know?
No one wants to know
You've got no money to buy cheap wine
Well, haven't you had enough for once?
Like a summer without sunshine,
it's been rain, just rain for months
But who wants to know,
who wants to know?
No one wants to know
Who wants to know,
who wants to know?
No one wants to know
Nothing to lie in your pockets,
don't give it a thought till later on
Like a bulb without a socket,
no one will bother to turn you on

Virgo's daughter
I'll tell you what are your lucky numbers,
two, three, four and five
I'll tell you what star you were born under,
I've checked with the sky
I know you've thought about destiny
long before today
What you believed before you met me,
it's not hard to say
Since we met, I'd like to bet,
it was written in the stars
Now you're here, it's all so clear,
about Jupiter and Mars
Hold out your hand,
let me look at your palm,
so I can read the lines
You're still pure, of that I'm sure.
Now I have learned your sign
(Tonight is the night of the moon's eclipse.)
Tonight is the night of the moon's eclipse.
(With a little luck I get to kiss your lips.)
With a little luck I get to kiss your lips
(Everything is lucky now.)
Everything is lucky now
(And it's something on my rabbit's foot.)
Pins on you to my rabbit's foot

  New faces, old places
Everybody knows this evening,
this old house we'll be leaving forever
And everybody knows we've had
good times here, me and my old dad together
A piece of paper says we have to go
to make way for a wider road Auntie Queenie hides a tear
as she sees back in all those years together
And uncle John tries to hang on,
only time has come to say "So long" forever
People who will probably never know,
they'll be using our house as a road They've promised us a new home,
one to call our very own
But what good are new places
without old faces? Neighbours come to say goodbye,
Reverend sprinted 'round every eye, "Don't cry"
Kisses swap around like gold
no one has to be told, this is goodbye They've promised us a new home,
one to call our very own
But what good are new places
without old faces?
