Then The Heartaches Begin (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
My sadness it is growing
I'm sure it's started showing
This feeling's getting stronger
I can't hold back out much longer
It's swelling deep inside
Emotions I can't hide
Then the heartaches begin
I'm telling you
The heartaches begin
I need someone to guide me
Someone to reconcile me
To take away this pain
Before it starts again
But no one listens to me
Can't control what's set in deeply
chorus
Four stone walls surround me
An empty shell's all you see
My former self's departed
A man who's broken hearted
Loneliness is what I fear
Holding on to all that's dear
chorus
I'm telling you child
Stop Right There (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
And the power you have over
Won't ever let me be
It's always holding me to you
And the strange things you say to me
Why do you play with me
It's just too sad to see
Stop right there
Tell me what you're doing to my mind in there
Tell me what you're doing Am I blind
Long ago everything about you was for me to hold
Now my thoughts about you won't stay cold
And in time I might slip away
Into the light of day
But with you I must stay it's true
Wishful thinking will just bring me down
It's plain to see you own
The ground I'm standing on
chorus
verse 2
Water On The Brain (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
I've just come in from out of the rain
It's wet outside the water runs down a drain
I go to bed 'cause my head's full of pain
And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Outside the window there's a pipe wearing thin
It lets the water do a dance on a tin
I try to sleep but it's making a din
And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Water on the brain water on the brain
Water on the brain water on the brain
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
I toss and turn and my patience is weak
Go to the bathroom door and I take a peak yeah
The bath tap has started a leak
And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Lullaby To Tim (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Would you like to slide down a rainbow
Catch a falling star in your hands
Chase a moonbeam right by your window
Close your eyes and you'll be there
In a land of dragons and castles
Be a knight in armour that shines
On a horse with trappings of silver
Close your eyes and you'll be there
You will be there
Hoping that no one
Will come and wake you up
You will be there
While the mooning is peeping
As you lie a-sleeping
In your dream world
chorus
See the witches fly on their broomsticks
Stirring cauldrons casting their spells
Kisses changing frogs into princes
Close your eyes and you'll be
Close your eyes and you'll be
Close your eyes and you'll be there
Have You Ever Loved Somebody (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
You say that you want me and now that you've got me you're gone
Think what you're doin' or else you'll regret what you've done
Don't come back tomorrow and say what we did wasn't right
You'll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night
Have you ever loved somebody
Don't you know just what it's like
Hurting someone that you're close to
Have you ever loved all night all night
Remember what happened the last time that you said goodbye
Remember the saying that once bit and I'll be twice shy
It's no use me crying there is no denying it's right
When thinking has ruined the feeling that we had to fight
chorus
If you hear people talking now
Will you laugh or cry
If you cry I'll sympathize with you
If you laugh I'll die
If you laugh I'll die
verse 1
chorus x 2
You Need Love (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
When you love somebody that means a lot
And so you give the best of what you've got
It's a reason for living to have someone
Without a love in your life you can't go on
You need love I need love
When you're tired and worn out she'll run to you
And calm your restlessness and comfort you
You need love I need love
No wonder that I always say
I can't live another day without you
I tell my friends I'm feeling fine
Then they know that I'm not lying about you
All your life you'll know that your trust was right
When you're holding her close to you at night
You need love I need love
Rain On The Window (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window
Reminds me of her
When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window
It was raining hard
The trees looked bare the night I met her
She was wet her hands were cold
The wind blew through her hair
Though I'd known her quite a long time
We were just good friends
So it didn't seem so strange
Inviting her back home
We sat by the fire
The flames brought out something in her
Melting all the cold
Projecting warmth I never knew
As the rain beat on my window
Did she understand
That in the glow of dying embers
Everything was planned
Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
Pitter -patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
Pitter -patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
Pitter -patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
We made love later on that night
While the rain beat on my window
I can't forget the things that happened
While the rain beat down on my window
Next time I saw her
I knew she didn't want to know me
If I disappointed her
I think she should have told me
Can't she understand
I only tried to be a man
She made me feel so ashamed
Of everything I am
When I hear pitter-patter
The rain on the window
Reminds me of her
Heading For A Fall (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
You say that you want me
I've no cause to doubt you
My friends tell me different that's all
They say that I'm blind
But I know all about you
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I seem to be hypnotized by all your beauty
A subject to your beck and call
Your arms magnetize me
When I'm here beside you
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall
Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time
What is it about you that tempts me and taunts me
I can't understand it all
If I try to leave you I know that you'll haunt me
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall
Ye Olde Toffee Shoppe (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
I press my nose against the pane
Of the little toffee shop
Day after day I save my pennies
To spend at the toffee shop
Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock
I stand on the cold stone street
A penny every day that I have saved
To buy myself some sweets
The nice little lady old and grey
With glasses and shawl
Gives love away to good little boys
Who do as they are told
She's always telling stories
Of her childhood days
She couldn't buy the things I can
For families in those days
Imagine the sweets that I can buy
With six pennies of my own
I always take my time to choose
The sweets I'll be taking home
Gobstoppers in my pockets
Barley sugar in my hand
Lollies you suck that last all day
And sherbet that looks like sand
When Your Light's Turned On (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
If I see the light's on in your room
If I see the light's on I call on you
It's a signal that he's gone
So I'll call you when your light's turned on
And I'll be happy to wait up until he goes
And I'll be happy to wait up until I know
That the coast's clear it's all right
So I'll call you when your light's turned on
Everything you say about me gets right home
That's why I put up with you this way
Everything you say about me gets right home
I wish that he would go and I could stay
That the coast's clear it's all right
So I'll call you when you're light's turned on
verse 3
Just for how long can our love go on like this
If you thought more about me you'd end all this
But when your light's on it's all right
So I'll call you when you're light's turned on
Leave Me (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Leave me
If it gives you satisfaction
Slander my name all over the place
Don't you have an inclination
You're gonna ruin a reputation
Leave me
Tell me
Now I've got you in the corner
Won't you admit you've been telling me lies
I don't care about you
I'll get along without just
Leave me
It's so hard to please (hard to please) you yeah
Tease (hard to tease) you
Leave me
I don't ever want you near me
Pack all your things and get out of my sight
Your love was made of sand
I've had all I can stand
Leave me
chorus
verse 3
You've got to leave me baby
C'mon now
You've got to leave me baby
The Games We Play (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Well I heard your mother say
What a pleasant boy you're going with
That I don't mean any harm
And I only want to play
Though I know she's just protecting you
You're just a little girl
Well if your mother only knew the games we play
When I take you home with me
All the family get along with you
Sitting all through tea
Wondering what we're gonna do
Leaving us alone
The temptation's far too strong
If your family only knew the games we play
Are you sure we're getting away with this
You cannot fool your mother or your father for long
Only time will tell
If they are right and we are wrong
(repeat)
They know the games we play
There's no hiding things like this from them
We know we're not the first
And we'll never be the last
Everybody gets hung up
We might have to pay
And everybody knows the games we play
