I'm Down (Hicks / Clarke / Sylvester)
Shook my head out of dreams
Reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
But I've got no notion of moving from where I am
Though my legs won't move
I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf an article labeled
Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found
I'm down no one to hear me calling
I'm down no one to see me falling
I'm down
Had my ways
With days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn't realise
When you're used to one thing
It's hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
Well she ain't your mother
How do you cope
With a thing like that
I'm down no one to hear me calling
I'm down no one to see me falling
I'm down
I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
Someone I should know
I'm down
I'm down
To the folks who brought me up
I'm not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
They thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
To be the last one to know
Maybe someone's out there
Looking for me
Left on their own
couldn't afford to clothe me
And I, I don't even know my real name
I'm down no one to hear me calling
I'm down no one to see me falling
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
Hello Lady Goodbye (Hicks / Clarke / Sylvester)
I woke up in the morning
Heard a mockingbird sing
Was he laughing at me
I went to the basin washed the sleep out my eyes
So I could see
A note on the bed close to where my lover should be
She slipped away in the night
The writing was shaky and with tears on the sheets
I'm sorry we had a fight
So farewell sweet lover farewell
I'm sorry we never said goodbye
So farewell sweet lover farewell
Left with a tear in your eye
Must've been brewing for a very long time
In the wardrobe the hangers are bare
Don't know how you did it, it must've been planned
You even took your favourite chair
So goodbye my lady goodbye
You won't find no tear in my eye
So goodbye my lady goodbye
Going out tonight to get high
Found myself at Charlies scene
Drinking all fashions
Sticky painted movie queen
Winked her eye at me
That's how it happened
Diamond shoes, satin dress
Flashin' flashin' flashin' flashin'
Break
Woke up in the morning heard my mockingbird sing
And it was singin' for me
The lady I met last night's here by my side
She's good company
Well hello sweet lady hello
Good morning with a smile
Well hello sweet lady hello
This lady's gonna make it alright
This lady's gonna make it alright
This lady's gonna make it alright
Lady lady
This lady's gonna make it alright x4
Lady lady
This lady's gonna make it alright
Lady lady
This lady's gonna make it alright
Lady lady
This lady's gonna make it alright |
