Jennifer Eccles (Clarke / Nash)
White chalk written on red brick
Our love told in a heart
It's there drawn in the playground
Love kiss hate or adore

I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

La la la la la la la
la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la

I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside

One Monday morning found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking had she done the same

La la la la la la la
la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la

One Monday morning found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking had she done the same

I hope Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love kiss hate or adore

Singing

I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

La la la la la la la
la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la


Open Up Your Eyes (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling
Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling, smiling

Wake in the morning
Look out of my window
Down on the street as the people pass by
Wonderful faces awake but asleep
Rushing around with appointments to keep
Rushing around with appointments to keep

Bald-headed banker with bowler on head
Credit for debit but still in the red
Schoolgirl in pigtails and freckly nose
Trying to remember her Latin prose
Trying to remember her Latin prose

Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling
Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling, smiling

Open up your eyes open up your eyes
Open up your eyes open up your eyes
Isn't it surprising what you'll find

Open up your eyes open up your eyes

What are they thinking
What's on their minds
Are they all looking for something to find
Decreasing circles running around
Searching for something they've already found
Searching for something they've already found

Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling
Open up your eyes looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling

Open up your eyes looking at the people
