You close your eyes, you give a sigh It ain’t how it should be. And all the time deep inside, You know that’s how it will be. In a little while, you turn your head And look around the other way, And the world goes on turning heading back, back the same way. You’re feeling sore you close the door, You’re getting down at heel You’re feeling tight, but that ain’t right You just get down on your knees In a little while, you turn your back And walk away till another day And the world goes on turning heading back, back the same way. Chorus:- Roll up you sinners Roll up and see Roll on you sinners roll along with me.

Politician 04:22
Started life as a jolly good man, believing I could fly, now I’m taking all the people for a ride, Constituents they write letters to my house and my little loony cronies write them back I’m a politician man I leave my conscience in a drawer packed beneath my morals and my gun I’m a politician man I never close an open door and you’ll never even know whose side I’m on. I don’t give a fig or a damn I just hide behind the lies, if I don’t get elected I will die. I stand by my convictions indiscretions and my fraud, and with luck I’ll be booted to the lords. Well you know it’s not my fault I only want what’s best for you, it’s only for the good of common man I’ll take everything you own and I’ll sell it back to you, and it never really changes when I’m gone There’ll be another one.

Wait up baby don’t go there’s reasons to stay Don’t you leave don’t you go its raining today Car won’t go it won’t run there’s no juice in it Tyre’s flat on the bike so just you forget it There’s a lesson to learn You got reasons to turn Turn round baby don’t go no leaving today. Chorus... I Won’t laugh if you don’t laugh I won’t cry if you don’t cry I won’t live if you won’t live. Listen to my words read between the lines Can you feel my heart can you read my mind Don’t you leave don’t you lead no merry dance. Even if you hate me just one more chance. There’s a lesson to learn You got reasons to turn Turn round baby don’t go no leaving today. Chorus... Refrain.... You gotta learn how to live and forget it You gotta learn how to love not regret it

Hey Nonny No 04:02
There ain’t a place I can call my own ever since you took our home You got my money and you kept the cat you even got my favourite hat You got a great lawyer and I paid for that he took the shirt baby right off my back Chorus:- Hey Nonny No I got a revelation Hey Nonny No the laughs on you Hey Nonny No it’s time for celebration Hey Nonny No laughs on you You got the mortgage the bills the neighbours too your job that keeps you out till two You got all the comforts you need around you you’ve even got my stereo too You got the T.v. but the microwaves new you can use it to warm up all the left over stew Chorus I got the sun on my face the wind in my hair my old pair of levis and my favourite chair The chairs in my tent, the tents in a field I even got a set of worn out wheels So your photo’s in a frame by my sleeping bag hey Tog 9.5 that ain’t too bad Listen to me baby I got the missing you blues and If I know you honey you’ll be missing me too Chorus I read your note you left by my flap Guy ropes too tight well thanks for that You saved the best bit as always for last The P S on your letter I really liked that It says “Come on home baby this don’t feel right If you leave real soon you can be home tonight.” Chorus Hey Nonny No I made a reservation Hey Nonny No coming home to you Hey Nonny No time for celebration Hey Nonny No sing along with me

They say there once was a man who walked here all the way from Siam Just to see if he could, just to see if he would. He sang songs that inspired, all who heard to climb out of the mire He said it’s easy to see whatever you want to be you can be. Chorus He always smiled when he walked, He always laughed when he thought90 About the folks that say he’s a tadpole short of a pond, or maybe could it be he’s the chosen one. They say that one night in June he walked all the way up to the Moon and the children would smile as he told of the time he could fly He said he wanted to be a dog a cat a rock or a tree and to this day it seems if only in dreams he could be.

Just a Game 02:55
Every time I look at her I see another girl, Every time I see that girl she’s in another world Oh I say life, life’s just a game, everyone’s a player just the same. Every time I look at her I see another girl. Every time I see myself I see another man, calling out o me myself I need another plan Oh I say life, life’s just a game, everyone’s a player just the same. Every time I see myself I see another man. Even if the sun was shining down on me then suddenly it rains, The time it takes to dry myself, another cloud will soak me though again. Every time I sing this song I’m singing different words, Every time I sing these words I sing so they’ll be heard

We can dance and we can sing, songs about most anything Listen close and you may find the world is falling down this time oh baby... well maybe... Move over people come stand in line Close to the edge join hands and fly Maybe we will maybe we won’t Can’t see no reason why after all this time I see the seasons fly but no one knows why Maybe we will maybe we won’t Chorus.... You never know if it’s too late to try Tomorrow knows but it won’t say You never know if it is right or wrong Until it’s gone Come on dig it up yeah pump it dry Burn off the right to life high up in the sky Maybe we will maybe we won’t Sometimes we have to give, yeah give not take Sometime we have to stop look before we leap. Maybe we will maybe we won’t Chorus...

I will swim in the water; I will walk in the sand I will dance in the moonlight; I will drink till I’m done I will smile till my teeth ache; I will laugh till I cry I will sway to the rhythm; I’ll make hay in the sun Chorus:- Don’t you worry about the dishes? That’s just too much to do today Leave the dusting, leave the washing That’s just too much to do today That’s too much, much too much today I will lay in the sunshine; I will bake in the sun Then I’ll sleep till the evening, till the party begins

White Horses 04:55
You and me and little white horses skimming stones down by the beach The moon in our eyes and the sun on our backs and the devil is there at our feet and I say now, do you say now? It’s only been just a few short hours but it seems a long time Full of life’s big questions, I think you know my mind Will you feel, will you hear, will you see, will you touch Come alive in the night or is it too much. Chorus… Even in your letters written in the sand I see hidden meanings made by your hand Innocent was it meant I don’t know but I see Such a life up ahead there for you and me Chorus… And I say now, Lets make it now

Jingle bells ain’t what it used to be A message of devotion hanging on a tree. You’ve got to open up your dose of cheer Unwrap your joys and tears it’s here. Chorus :- Jingle bells have a simply great noel Ring that bell everyone thinks it’s really swell. Jingle bells ain’t what it used to be A picture of emotion there for all to see. Come on lets see you dance lets here you sing Imagine all the gifts that Santa brings. Chorus … Socks and slippers and rings and knickers Cindy, Barbie, Batman too. Turkey hot and turkey cold Turkey sandwich turkey stew. Sprouts and stuffing and Christmas pudding Wash it down with a glass or two. Mince pies pork pies ham and trifle Stuff that turkey down the loo. Eric and Ernie a message from Lizzy Parties smarties James Bond too. Plan your hols and plan your diet Make your resolutions few............. Chorus... “I don’t want to be the dancing monkey.......”

about

Tuneola UK

So this English bloke walks into this tiny club in a village somewhere in Germany, sees this guy sat in the corner of the room singing and playing acoustic guitar. He (the guy) is surrounded by a large crowd, singing along to some song about a tadpole, or so it seemed at the time.
Bloke nudges gum chewing chick next to him and says: “
