Spaceman 04:02
I’m gonna be a spaceman, I’m gonna ride across the sky I’m gonna be a spaceman, I know I can make it if I try I’ll be traveling past the sun, so if you think you’d like to come Then climb aboard the love for you and I I’ve gotta have a space-love, I wanna see it in the sky Make all of us a space-love, I know we can make it if we try Have you tried to ride before, and all alone it took much more But if we go together we’ll get by I’m gonna be a spaceman, I’m gonna ride across the sky I’m gonna be a spaceman, I don't wanna stay here till I die I’m gonna be a spaceman, I’m gonna ride across the sky I’ve gotta have a space-love, I want see it in the sky I’m gonna be a spaceman, I’m gonna ride across the sky

There’s one out on a limb and he don’t know where to begin Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why There’s one out on a wave, and he don’t know who to save Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why There’s one up in a cloud, and he’s talking much too loud Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why So you drink and think it up, pass along the coffee cup Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why Somewhere up there in a tower, there’s another happy hour Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why And so you drink and think it up, pass along the coffee cup Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why Somewhere up there in a tower, there’s another happy hour Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why There’s lovers on a bus, loking very much like us Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why There’s one out on a limb, and he don’t know where to begin Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why Root toot tooty, root toot tooty, why Root toot tooty, root toot tooty Root toot toot, rooty tooty toot toot Root toot tooty, why

The North Shore housewives won’t leave me alone for a minute They either want me thrown out or else they want me to be in it And sometimes I think I better run When I remember all the things I’ve done But then I guess I have to stay right here Till I get me some money Wait until I get me some money, When I get me some money, I’m going home Wait until I get me some money When I get me some money, I’m going home Constable Jones says I’m not to hang around on the corner And I don’t see my body getting by on only bread and water And the man who runs the liquor store Says he don’t wish to see my face once more But there’s really nothing else to do Till I get me some money Wait until I get me some money When I get me some money, I’m going home Wait until I get me some money When I get me some money, I’m going home But I see the sunshine, come looking over my shoulder And I see the good times, before I get too much older, I I’m tellin’ you, I’m just Waiting till I get me some money When I get me some money, I’m going home Wait until I get me some money When I get me some money, I’m going home Wait until I get me some money When I get me some money, I’m going home

Thursday 02:47
Thursday, have you found another reason Why you lied and made me cry when I was younger Thursday, have you looked around and found There is nothing in the sound that made you wonder And it’s hard to believe When you can’t find a reason for Thursday And the memories return Come to burn and earn their place among my feelings Thursday and the rain was pouring down As I lay back and I frowned up at the ceiling And it’s hard to believe When you can’t find a reason for Thursday There was something I said That went round in my head on Thursday But it can’t matter now I forget anyhow on Thursday Thursday and I’m caught here alone With no love of my own to be smiling Thursday, yes it’s all much the same It’s a game on a name spoke in silence And it’s hard to believe When you, you can’t find a reason for Thursday Good old Thursday, good old Thursday

Did somebody see, a different direction Did somebody make, a different connection Though it could be right, it can’t be right for me baby I’m only wastin’ my time Run, run city child all gone country style maybe Make, break any dream, you make better seem, like you’re crazy I’m only wastin’ my time, I’m only wastin’ my time And nobody knows, a single collection And nobody shows, a simple perfection And though it could be right, it can’t be right for me baby I’m only wastin’ my time Say, play any song, help you get along, could be Lose, choose, anyone, try to catch the sun like it should be I’m only wastin’ my time, I’m only wastin’ my time I wanna see you rockin’ till four in the morning Smilin’ out the good times like a priest to his calling Swimming seas of happiness the rest of your life, but I’m only wasting my time Has anyone seen, a final conclusion Has anyone been, above the confusion Tick, tick time away, will tomorrow wait for you Try, die, you and I, do you wonder why it’s not all you I’m only wastin’ my time, I’m only wastin’ my time

I had a dream you were down on the farm trying to get your head I should have seen there was cause for alarm, and no one cared I don’t think I can make it without you No one seems to know anything about you And now that you’ve gone, I can’t go on like this I was away fooling round with the “stars” but you could not reach What could I say as we sat in the bars I just could not teach And I don’t think I can make it without you No one seems to know anything about you And now that you’ve gone, I can’t go on like this Oh! It’s funny to wake up and find, there’s suddenly so little time The memory trips over my mind, it was fine I had a dream I was there by your side and it all came true Now that it’s been there is nowhere to hide, not for me and you But I don’t think I can make it without you No one seems to know a single thing about you And now that you’ve gone, I can’t go on like this I can’t go on like this! I can’t go on like this I can’t go on like this! I can’t go on, like this

Laughing 01:46
I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I Ooooh, when they asked me for more I just walked out the door and away Ooooh, someone called me a clown And the word went around all the day But, I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I I, feeling lost and alone, I just hung up the phone and I read High, every line that I wrote tangled up in my throat and my head But, I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I So many people with nothing to do But polish their shoe, and see what I drew So many people with too little care But they comb their hair, making holes in the air I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I I laugh a lot, I, I laugh a lot, don’t I

Sweet soft summer sound came, rolling over top of me But it made me feel glad, even more like a man Every day I’m alive, looking for a girl not exactly like you Oh, did it make me so, took me out of the day Oh, did it let me know, did it make me say, ”Hey” Did it make me say, “Hey?” Sweet soft summer sound came, rolling over top of me But it made me feel glad, even more like a man Every day I’m alive, looking for a girl not exactly like you And all the balloons and the tunes that are lost in the sky Are finally out and about with a tear and a sigh Looking for fun and the one with a wink in his eye Sweet soft summer sound came, rolling over top of me But it made me feel glad, even more like a man Every day I’m alive, looking for a girl not exactly like you Oh, every picture show that’ll never be seen Oh, every thing you know that is only a dream Do you know what I mean Oooh, take a note to the pilot, I’m flying away again Oooh, take a note to the pilot, I’m flying away again Oooh, take a note to the pilot, I’m flying away again Oooh, take a note to the pilot, I’m flying away again

Q 03:04
Q, ya, the love that you put me through, ya Have burned a hole in my blue, ya And led me out of my mind, ya Q, ya, the secret woman in you, ya Has spun your web into view, ya And lost me deep in your time, ya Ooooh, the sweet defeat of the lies As all the loneliness dies, just look in your eyes Just look in the paradise of your hypnotize Q, ya, I think I know what to do, ya And though I see that you knew, ya I’m gonna love you a while, ya Q, ya, I’m told that I can be cruel, ya But I’m just trying to be true, ya You know that I’ll make you smile, ya Ooooh, the lazy days by your side On wings we go softly glide, just look in your eyes Just look in the paradise of your hypnotize Q, ya, the love that you put me through, ya Have burned a hole in my blue, ya And led me out of my mind, ya

Down Again 02:52
Here we are again at the top of the hill Wouldn’t it be nice to be down again Swinging like fire on a telephone wire Wouldn’t it be nice to be down again I made a couple of friends but they don’t write They don’t write, but that’s alright I found a couple of reasons but they don’t rhyme They don’t rhyme, they haven’t got the time but Here we are again at the top of the hill Wouldn’t it be nice to be down again Swinging like fire on a telephone wire Wouldn’t it be nice to be down again I did a lot of talking but no one heard No one heard, no not a word I did a lot of laughing but no one cared No one cared, I think I should have said that Do, re, me, fa, so, la toe I don’t know where to go and I don’t know who to know One, two, three, four, five, six, eight I better not wait it’ll be too late, but Here we are again at the top of the hill Wouldn’t it be nice to be down again Swinging like fire on a telephone wire Wouldn’t it be nice to be down again
