cowsills - a time for remembrance

It's a time for remembrance
Time to recall the things
I couldn't think of yesterday
Now my eyes bear no resemblance
To the eyes that used to rise
At every word you'd say
But I can't hide the memory of you away
Today or any other day
It's a time for remembrance
And I'll open my eyes

Now the chime in the steeple
Reminding me of summer sights
And nights that wouldn't end
Even unfamiliar people
Walking by, they sigh
And know I've lost my only friend

I used to tell myself
Just dust in your eye
They couldn't be tears
You know, you don't cry
It's a time for remembrance
Time to cry
And, I'll cry

No I can't hide the memory of you away
Today or any other day
It's a time for remembrance
A time to cry
And, I'll cry
And, I'll cry
I'll cry

cowsills - can you love

Talk strange make-up's the same
Fancy clothes rainbow colors
Inside humans reside
Crying to one another

Living hide-away lives
Shelter in towns and cities
Point out shout "there they are"
Everyone smiles "how pretty."

If only they wouldn't
Hate themselves or their cross
Could we all learn to love
A man who is lost

Trying hard to survive
Moral and social standards
Some pay prices too high
Easy to give in to branders

If only they wouldn't hate
Themselves or their cross
Could we all learn to love
A man who is lost

Some die others will cry
Just isn't worth fighting for

If only they wouldn't hate
Themselves or their cross
Could we all learn to love
A man who is lost

If only they wouldn't hate
Themselves or their cross

cowsills - captain sad and his ship of fools

La la la la la la la la la Ha ha ha
La la la la la la la la

You know every naughty lyric to every bawdy tune
I understand you've really been around
And everybody loves you 'cause you take them to the moon
How is it you can't make it on the ground?

You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.

Now you've traveled around the world and collected all the flags
But the Rand-McNally globe is all you've seen
And you ramble on for hours about the stickers on your bag
Describing places that you've never been.

You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
'Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.

Now everybody's wishing, they could all be just like you
They'd sell their souls to do the things you've done
And they love to hear the stories of the two wars you've been through
But you know you never fought in either one.

You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
'Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.

cowsills - cheatin on me

Well it's sure plain to see
You've been cheatin' on me
But I can't find out when or with who
You're in bed fillin' space
And that look on your face is tellin' me
You've been out, out cheatin' on me

Why am I lonely, why am I sad
If you'd only smile
Things would not be so bad
And why am I sorry, I don't even know
But if you'd only smile
I would not feel so low

Well, I know I'm a fool
But I love you, yes it's true
And I keep waiting for one little kiss
But you've sure lost the spark
That we had at the start
And I know you've been out
Out cheatin' on me

Why am I lonely, why am I sad
If you'd only smile
Things would not be so bad
And why am I sorry, I don't even know
But if you'd only smile
I would not feel so low

You're in bed, fillin' space
And that look on your face
Is tellin' me, you've been out
Out cheatin' on me
Yes I know, you've been out
Out cheatin' on me

cowsills - contact made

All along 66, wait the truck cafe's
Ed's diner, Jodie's place all turn out the same
Signs saying "food and gas" gauge is on "E"
Do you think the place is clean
Let's stop and see

Board-and-Bat-shacks, pies and lunch packs
Long bar, stools and foot-rail
Near the door the juke box roars
And country-western wails

Soon you find waitress Mae, she's middle-aged
Hair in curls and too much rouge
On her sweating face
In the back dressed in white cooks cap and all
Al makes a moody face straight at the wall

Mae's the contact smiling irritated
Near to outbreak
Smiling while her eyes look past
Unhappy and her head aches

Now we wait no one knows
What mood Al's in
If it's good, so's the food
Let's hope we win

cowsills - dover mine

East toward a stream of meadows
Four miles from Dover Mines
I built a small gray cottage
In the country, I would die
Soon I would die

Wandered thru the forest at night
Cause I could not take to sleep
I'd be thinking when would
Death come
Frustrated I would weep
I would weep

When will my turn come
I wait so long a time
I think it's unfair
That I pay such a fine
When will that turn be mine

One night I woke up knowing
Came running out my door
Until I stood before
My death in store

cowsills - down on the farm

Down on the farm, down on the farm
Down on the farm
Up the gravel road from the dirty
City, down on the farm

You can pluck a chicken, slop a hog
Feed a dog on the farm
Look at me no place I'd rather be
Pickin' at the corn choppin' wood
Feels good on the farm
From 5-8 don't stay up late
Down on the farm

Won't you please me
Drop in and see me
Drive by some day

Once you see it you won't believe it
Never wanna leave it
Down on the farm

You can gather eggs, pet a cat
Catch a rat on the farm
Climb a tree its all right by me
Jumpin' in the pond swimmin'
With the swans down on the farm

Out in the country far from the city
When you're real down come out
And feel pretty
Don't waste your time cause its
Passin' away as a matter of fact
Why don't you come out today
Down by the farm

cowsills - good ole rock & roll song

Well music may come and go
But there's one thing that's goin' strong
There ain't nothin' better than
A good ole rock and roll song

Cause if you're feelin' lost now baby
There's something that can be found
You can find yourself by diggin'
On a rock and roll song

Just tap out some 4-4 and ask
The man to pour you a drink
Just let your feet follow you until
You're in a rock 'n roll thing

Just turn on the radio
I said quicker than a click you're
Gonna hear some rock 'n roll

Music may come and go
But there's one thing that's goin' strong
There ain't nothing better than
A good ole rock 'n roll song

Just turn on the radio
Listen to the jock say
All you funky children gotta dig
On that rock 'n roll

Music may come and go
But there's one thing goin' strong
There ain't nothin better than
Good ole rock 'n roll song
Yea there ain't nothin' better than
A good ole rock 'n roll song

cowsills - gotta get away from it all

Up at eight; Down at five
Can't be late; Be on time
Same old thing I could cry
They clipped my wings and I can't fly

I gotta go get away from it all
Take the phone off the hook so no one can call me
Go, go get away from it all
'Cause if I don't I think I'll lose my mind

I've got no time; no time to spend
Not even time to find a friend
My wheels spin; go round and round
But I can't win I just go down

It's time to fly, fly away anywhere
Leave the noise and the crowds
Get a breath of fresh air
Fly, fly, fly away anywhere
'Cause if I don't I think I'll lose my mind

People lost in a race
Have no names; have no faces
The more I look, the more I see
I look like them; they look like me

Oh, I gotta go get away anywhere
Leave the noise and the crowds
Get a breath of fresh air
Go, go get away from it all
'Cause if I don't I think I'll lose my mind

Go get away from it all
I better go get away from it all
I better go get away from it all
Now go get away from it all
I better go get away from it all
I better go go go go go ....

cowsills - gray, sunny day

Gray, sunny day
Bright outside, inside misty
Can't shake this gray
Been too long since she kissed me

Clear as a bell
But I'm totally confused inside
(So confused inside)
Why won't you tell me now
What is she trying to hide?

Gray, sunny day
(Hey what a day)
Somebody must be .. must be
Can't find my way
Hey sunshine what's she doing

Sunshine all around
But I'm standing here hazy-eyed
Why won't you tell me now
What is she trying to
What is she trying to
What is she trying to hide?

Clear as a bell
But I'm totally confused inside
So confused inside
Why won't you tell me now
What is she trying to hide?

Gray, sunny day
What a day
Can't see the sunshine for the rain
What a day
Gray, sunny day
Oh, what a day
Can't see the sunshine for the rain
What a day
Gray, sunny day
Oh, what a day
Gray, sunny day
Gray, sunny day

cowsills - hair

She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling

Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Down to here
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself

They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair

My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

cowsills - heather says

Heather says that each of us here
Is allowed just one friend
And just one friend alone
That's what best friends are for
Heather says that any among us who think
That it's better to have three or four
Better change your mind
That's what she says

Heather does bad things in class but
She never-no never gets blamed
And I'll wager already this week
About 15 more kids have been framed
And of course no one would never dare tell
On dear Heather - dear Heather

And Heather says
Not a soul in the whole of the
Fourth grade class
Can jump near as high or can run as fast.
I suspect someone could
But I can't deny
Heather must win so we never try
The challenge appears on her lips
With a grin and she gives us
That look that says Heather must win
And we do what Heather says

Heather makes fun of the kid
With the mole and the extra large ears
And she's not satisfied till he's
Screaming and red and in tears
And of course one would never dare tell
On dear Heather - sweet Heather

Heather must be first in hopscotch
And when we play tag she is it
Soon things will change cuz the kids
Specially Margaret are sick of it
And even I myself think that its cruel
That everything Heather says
Goes at our school.
Everything Heather says
Goes at our school

cowsills - i love the flower girl

I saw her sitting in the rain,
raindrops falling on her.
She didn´t seem to care.
She sat there and smiled at me.

And I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
she could make me happy
(happy, happy).
Flowers in her hair,
Flowers everywhere.

I love the flower girl,
Oh, I don´t know just why.
She simply caught my eye.
I love the flower girl,
She seemed so sweet and kind.
She crept into my mind.

I knew I had to say hello
(hello, hello)
She smiled up at me
She took my hand
And we walked
through the park alone

And I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
she could make me happy
(happy, happy).
Flowers in her hair,
Flowers everywhere.

I love the flower girl,
Oh, I don´t know just why.
She simply caught my eye.
I love the flower girl,
She seemed so sweet and kind.
She crept into my mind.

Suddenly the sun broke through
(see the sun).
I turned around she was gone
(where did she go).
And all I had left
Was one little flower from her hair.

But I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
she had made me happy
(happy, happy).
Flowers in her hair,
Flowers everywhere

cowsills - if you can t have it, knock it

Here she comes head lifted high
Toward the sun won't look in my eye
I don't care

Plays it cool while all the men watch
I won't be fooled into thinking
She's God's best

Lonely nights I am tired of being alone
Few friends, wish I had someone
Then here she comes making me
Look at the things I can't have

I don't wanna look anymore
Make me face my everyday chore everyday

Lonely nights I am tired
Of living alone
Few friends wish I had someone
Then here she comes making me
Look at the things I can't have

Here she comes head lifted high
Toward the sun won't look in my eye
I don't care
