Wild World

written by Cat Stevens

 

Now that I've lost everything to you 

You say you wanna start something new 

And it's breaking my heart you're leaving 

Baby I'm grieving

 

But if you wanna leave take good care

Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear

But then a lot of nice things turn bad

Out there 

 

chorus

Oh baby baby it's a wild world

It's hard to get by just upon a smile girl

Oh baby baby it's a wild world

I'll always remember you like a child girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do

And it's breaking my heart in two

Because I never wanna see you sad girl

Don't be a bad girl

 

But if you wanna leave take good care

Hope you find a lot of nice friends out there

But just remember there's a lot of bad air

Beware

 

repeat chorus

 

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do

And it's breaking my heart in two

Because I never want to see you sad girl

Don't be a bad girl

But if you want to leave take good care

Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear

But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

chorus

Number one for me

Suzie you are, Suzie you are

You're the crazy one for me

Suzie you are, Suzie you are

How could I ever let you go

When I'm feeling this way

All this crazy crazy feeling goin' through my brain

 

Something's wrong, something's missing

Now you've gone, oh yeah

Been so long without your loving

To keep me strong oh yeah

 

Though I read it in your letters

See you want me to forget

Well I'm not open to persuasion

I'm not giving it up just yet

 

Oh I'm so crazy about you baby

Oh I'm so crazy about you baby

We got to start anew Suzie

We can't go on this way Suzie

We got to start anew

 

Suzie you are

 

Making promises along the way

We've had dreams oh yeah

Stormy clouds get in the way

Just to change the scene oh yeah

 

Though I never stop believing

The sun is sure to break through

We'll get lost within this feeling

Girl we'll start anew oh

 

Pretty little girl

You're my crazy love

Let's go again

Pretty little girl

You're my crazy love

Let's go again

Woah number one for me Suzie you are

Goodbye To Love Again

written by G. Jones

 

Goodbye to love again

I've seen the signs again

For love has never lived

Here long before

I'm on my own again

I'm all alone again

For love has never stayed

And closed the door

 

chorus

Sometimes I wake up in the night

With no one beside me

I turn the radio on

Just for company

Sometimes I wake up in the night

I've found that I've been crying, crying

Oh Lord in my sleep again

 

Goodbye to love again

Until next time again yeah

I'll just keep going on, going on, going on, oh oh oh oh

 

Goodbye to love again

Until next time again

I'll just keep going on

As I've done before

Be on my own again

Be all alone again

Until love comes to stay

And close the door

 

repeat chorus

 

Goodbye to love again

Until next time again yeah

I'll just keep going on, going on, going on, oh oh oh oh

Until next time again, time again, time again yeah

Goodbye to love again

You're Only Human

written by M. Elliott, P. Linton

 

I think it's time that you and me

We left this place and went somewhere

Where we can do

The things we're thinking of, oh yeah

 

See I've been so near and yet so far

Felt so high and felt so low

Been trying to touch the sky

And find nowhere to go, oh no

 

chorus

Don't walk away

Cos I'm not leaving here without you

Don't walk away

Cos I'm not leaving here without you no

You're only human

Go with your feelings

Believe it, don't fight it, oh

You're only human

Go with your feelings

Believe it

Exciting

 

See I've got you here and you've got me

We're both quite aware of how we feel

Now don't be scared, place your trust in me, oh yeah

See the vibe is yours, the vibe is mine

Let's take this chance, don't waste no time

 

repeat chorus

 

Now you've ever been in that position

Where you wanna need some more

Crying out loudly, where you want to be heard

Feel the fire, taking us higher

Touch me baby, your love is amazing, oh oh

Love is amazing, oh baby

Same Old Story

written by M. Elliott, R. Simpson

 

I don't need nobody to

Tell me what I'm going through

Seen it time and time before

The story of my life

 

Always

Beating my head against the wall

Will she ever come or not at all

So many pictures in my mind

Making it hard to choose my kind

 

chorus

Well ain't it mysterious the two of us

We just can't see

Ain't it ridiculous the both of us

We just can't be oh no

Hey, oh no, oh oh oh

 

Same old story's been told before

Same old conclusions they keep knocking at my door

Same old story's been told before

Same old conclusions they keep knocking at my door

 

I know you're out there somewhere

Searching to find someone who cares

So many pictures in your mind

Making it hard to choose your kind

 

repeat chorus

 

Oh so lonely, lonely

I'm so lonely, lonely

 

Same old story's been told before

Same old conclusion they keep knocking at my door

Same old story's been told before

Same old conclusion they keep knocking at my door

Same old story yeah

Same old story yeah

You're just confusing my mind

Same old story

You're just confusing my mind

Same old story

Marcus

written by R. Simpson

 

In your struggle for love

Hate struck you down

But in so many hearts

You're still around

You freed so many souls

From the depths of despair

But we will never forget

The burdens you had to bare

 

chorus

Oh Marcus we love you

You never shy from the things you had to do

Strength and courage pulled many through yeah

Oh boy

 

repeat chorus

 

Paving a different way

Was the order of the day

And I'm so glad to say

Your teachings are here to stay

The wicked cast you aside

 

But your missions have never died

It lives on and on and on

 

repeat chorus 2x

 

You can't stop the ??? Marc, oh no

You achieved the best of a bad situation

Gave hope to the people of the nation

Yes you did

You achieved the best of a bad situation

Gave hope to the people of the nation

Yes you did, yes you did

 

Scattered all over the place, living in disgrace

The people have lost their ways

Their minds have gone astray

Sheer hysteria

Told us look to Africa

To be our rightful home again

 

repeat chorus 2x

 

Look to Africa

Boy, Marc, you do ooh

How Can We Ease The Pain

written by M. Elliott, R. Simpson

 

Waking up to a dry land

With empty glasses in their hands

To the bone I see their call

A fate for one and all

Watch relief fall from the sky

Still resources running dry

 

chorus

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

That the people going under

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

Tell me, who's gonna take the blame

How can we ease the pain

That the people going under

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

Tell me, who's gonna take the blame

 

I watched the children cry

No tears within their eyes hey

Then I ask the reason why

Life seems to be on the slide hey

Electing one with no feelings

Who's gonna pay for their tomorrow

 

repeat chorus

 

Hey woh sure like to know, woh

Cause it's been so long

And it seems to me to be so wrong hey

 

Life is like a ball against the wall

A ball against the wall

If you throw love against the wall

It comes back to you

And if you throw hate against the wall

It's gonna follow you

So what we gonna do to ease the pain

How can we ease the pain

Tell me, what are we gonna do, to ease the pain yeah

Ease the pain

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

Got to fight the fight

It Ain't Easy

written by P. King, M. Birch, R. Ellington, R. Harris

 

When I was a boy

I never knew much joy

I only spoke when I was told to speak

To sit up straight and be well behaved

And to eat when I was told to eat

As I grew up I got to realize in order to survive

You've got to shout real loud and fight real hard

So you can stay alive

 

chorus

It ain't easy

Lord it ain't easy

Living in the world today

Living in the world today

 

When I reached my teens

I was on the scene

Going raving and getting high

And though I hated the world

But I loved my girl and for my best friend I would die

Now I am a man I get to understand

Some life philosophy

You've got to take what you get from life today

Cause tomorrow may never be

 

repeat chorus

 

Now the years have passed

And the time is moving faster every day

I take the good with the bad

And dance with the sad

As I move along the way

Been in love nothing lost

And now I stand and watch our children play

And when they ask why does that man look so sad

I just turn to them and say

 

repeat chorus 2x

 

Can't you see living ain't easy

Can't you see life ain't easy

Today today today

Some Guys Have All The Luck

written by J. Fortang

 

Lonely, so lonely, oh so lonely, ah

Alone in the crowd on a bus after work I’m daydreaming

The guy next to me has his woman on his arms, my arms are empty

How does it feel when the woman that you love says yes she loves you

It seems unfair when there’s love everywhere and yet there’s none for you

 

chorus

Some guys have all the luck

Some guys have all the pain

Some guys have a little sunshine in their lives

My life is always a little bit of rain

 

Someone to take on a walk by the lake, dear Lord let it be

Someone who shouts, someone who is liable to cry at sad movies

I do believe I will die

Just to look in her eyes and find them filled with me oh

But you’re just a dream and as real as it seems, I’m not that lucky

 

repeat chorus

 

It’s just a losing game, things have got to change

Some girl will give my love a try

With my love her arms will open wide

 

repeat chorus

 

Some guys have all the luck

Some guys have all the pain

Some guys have a little sunshine in their lives

 

Alone in the crowd on a bus after work I’m daydreaming

It seems unfair when there’s love everywhere and yet there’s none for you

repeat chorus

Some guys have all the luck all the lucj

Some girl will give my love a try
