gilbert o sullivan - alone again

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like
When you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do, What do we do

Alone again, naturally

Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember i cried when my father
Died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, god rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only
Man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

gilbert o sullivan - 15 times

Move along, move along, move along
Said the man with the uniform on
Get away, get away, get away
Said the goldfish to the whale
Oh what have I done now
And the goldfish replied you fool
You're too big for me
And I'm too yellow for you

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
Said the greyhound to her pup
What a life, what a life, what a life
Said the husband to his wife
Oh Where did we go wrong
And the husband to put it crude
Said you're no fun anymore
And I'm fed up with -

-You and me and baby makes
3, 4, 5, 6, 7
8, 9, 10 and 11
12, 13, 14, 15 times 44 is 660!

And again, and again, and again
Said the masochist to his friend
What a cheek, what a cheek, what a cheek
Said the hen to the Portuguese
Oh what have we done wrong
And the hen replied you fools
You're too many for me
And I'm too chicken for -

-You and me and baby makes
3, 4, 5, 6, 7
8, 9, 10 and 11
12, 13, 14, 15 times 44 is 660!

gilbert o sullivan - no matter how i try

No matter how I try
I just can't say goodbye
No matter what you say
looks like I'm here to stay

No matter where I go
I don't know if you know
but everywhere we been
I'm kept in quarantine

It's easy to see why
She's over six feet five
I'm only five foot two
Is there a tyre somewhere
That might take me a spare
Is there a bank in town
That might cash me a pound
Is there a place you know
Where I can open the door

It's easy to see why
She's over six feet five
I'm only five foot two
Is there a tyre somewhere
That might take me a spare
Is there a bank in town
That might cash me a pound
Is there a place you know
Where I can open the door

Oh I remember our first anniverary
It was one of those occasions where believe you me
I would rather been held ransom at the point of a gun
Then to suffer indignation for something I hadn't done

No matter how I try
I just can't say goodbye
No matter whay you say
looks like I'm here to stay

gilbert o sullivan - say goodbye

Say goodbye say good morning
Say good evening and good noon
Say hello tell me how you're feeling
Very well thanks and how are you

Say you did say you didn't
Say it's someone else instead
Say it's me would I be forgiven
Or is it something that I said
In spite of fears over what charges are proposed
In spite of tears over what secrets are disclosed
In spite of ears I have never heard you once complain

Sayonara konbanwa
Ohayo-gozaimasu kon-nichiwa
Kon-nichiwa gokigen-ikaga-desuka
Genki-desu arigato anatawa-ikaga-desuka

Di adios Di buenas noches
Di buenos das õTe sientes bien?
Di hole Dime
ôCãmo te sientes? Muy bien gracias Yõque tal est¡s?

In spite of fears over inflation going up
In spite of tears over the breaking of a cup
In spite of years seems like it was only days ago

Say it is say it isn't
Say it's someone else instead
Say it's good when you don't like fishing
You just knock it on the heed
You just knock it on the heed

Say goodbye say good morning
Say good evening and good noon
Say hello tell me how you're feeling
Very well thanks and how are you

In spite of fears over a lack of crowd control
In spite tears over a bag that someone stole
In spite of years I have never seen you look so well

Sayonara konbanwa
Ohayo-gozaimasu kon-nichiwa
Kon-nichiwa gokigen-ikaga-desuka

gilbert o sullivan - always somebody

Whatever you are whatever you miss
Whatever you're thinking whatever it is
Whatever you feel and whatever you do
Remember there's always somebody
Worse off than you
Always somebody worse off than you
You know that there's always somebody
Worse off than you -

gilbert o sullivan - a friend of mine

Good morning Mary Ann
And how are you upon this bright
And sunny morning
I hear your brother Ted
Got caught for speeding
But was let off with a warning
I hope he's learnt his lesson
And the next time he goes out will drive with care
It doesn't pay to drive too fast
All it does is make your life last shorter
I know you won't believe this
But it happens to be true
I am a loner
My only real companion is dog I'm very fond of
His name's Homer
He follows me wherever I go
And of course I do my best to feed him
It's not the easiest of tasks
When you consider unlike cats
They're broader
Do what you want to within reason
But-remember take your time
Nothing stops for those
Who can't afford to wait
The best advice that I can give you
Is to hold on to your head
And as long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
And it's true to say that a good fiend is hard to find
But I'd like to think that you were
A friend of mine
Good morning, Sarah Jane
And how are you today
Tell me is that your mother
She looks a lot like you
Though come to think of it
You look like one another
It's funny how with likenesses
Most people have a difference of opinion
They said that I was like my dad
Now they say that I'm just like his daughter

You'll always be a friend of mine
As long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
A friend in need is a friend indeed
You'll always be a friend of mine

gilbert o sullivan - a minute of your time

I've got a good position here. my boss is proud of me
He said so in a letter that he wrote the other week
My parents too are happy. which is nice
For without their encouragement I never would have tried
But now much to their horror. I've decided I might quit
What's the point of working hard when I can hardly live
The key to my survival lies with you
Don't ask me what you've got. I only know that while you do
For a minute of your time, a minute of your time
I would gladly go with you anywhere
For a minute of your time. a minute of your time
I'd be happy In despair

It's funny how our lives are mapped out in a certain way
Call It fatalistic If you want to that's Okay
The point I'm trying to make. Is. as a rule
An error on your part can be a costly one for you
But looking back how often have you thought. well I'll be blowed
If it wasn't for that error. I'd be on a different road
Which leads me very nicely round to you
You know how much I love you and until you love me too

For a minute of your time a minute of your time
I would gladly go with you anywhere
For a minute of your time. a minute of your time
I'd be happy in despair
For a minute of your time. a minute of your time
Even though it may not seem that long to you
For a minute of your time. a minute of your time
Even less for me would do

I don't suppose you'd ever think of moving in with me
Lots of people do it. it's quite common I believe
This may come as a shock. even to you
But I'm the one who feels this way and here's what I would do
For a minute of your time. etc.

gilbert o sullivan - a sight for sore eyes

Some stupid guy with his head in the clouds
Thinks the world is a wondrous place
Next thing you know as he's looking around
Plane hits him in the face

A sight for sore eyes are couples who think
Marriage is not for them
They want their children to know their dad
Is only their partner's friend
I'm going backwards the way I came in
Going forward the same way out
I've got some blue chips to go with my fish
Which is still swimming round about

The sight of a pedophile being abused
A stalker being followed home
Who wouldn't give their right arm to see
A scientist being cloned

What do you do when your think you're in love
And she tells you you must be sure
How do you manage to get out of that
When you know that her heart is pure

On the wings of a dove fight has broken out
Someone flew in a rage hurling drinks about

I'm gonna love you as long as I can
For as long as we both agree
I'm gonna leave you the rest of my life
Along with some jewelry

A sight for sore eyes are couples who think
There's no need for men
If they want a child they just go to a lab
Get it artificially insemmed

Some stupid guy has his arm in a lock
And he can't seem to find the key
Someone should tell him it's probably where
The key to his heart would be

And I'll cry like a big girl
And I'll kick like an ass
Who needs 18/30
50 plus is a gas

I'm gonna love you as long as I can
For as long as we both shall live
I'm going to leave you the rest of my life
For as long as it's mine to give
As long as it's mine to give

gilbert o sullivan - a woman 039 s place

I may be old fashioned
So what if I am
I'm not any different
To any other man
I'm not one of those
Who look for blood from a stone
But I believe
A woman's place is in the home.

Now I'm not one to kid you
You know it's not my style
I wouldn't want to hurt you
Not even for a while
I'm all for a woman
Who can make it on her own
But I believe
A woman's place is in the home.
Ooh baby I believe, I do
A woman's place is in the home.

Wonder what would have happened
Had a woman flattened
Rocky Marciano's nose
Would there have been
A change of views
Would women no longer be used
The way they seem
To think they're being

I know what you're thinking
And you've every right to moan
But I believe, yes indeed, I do,
A woman's place is in the home.
Ooh baby I believe, I do

gilbert o sullivan - are you happy

You say you got a big house out in the country
With a ruddy great swimming pool
You say you got a lot of things I never had
That's true
But are you happy
Are you happy
Are you happy
When you get right down to the nitty gritty
Are you happy you

You say you got boyfriends calling you up
Every other day of the week
And that you got more now then you could ever need
But are you happy
Are you happy
Are you happy

You can find happiness
In a hole in your sock
You can be fully dressed
In a coat that's a frock
You can stand in the rain when it's raining
And not think it's not sunny

You say you got a car parked out in the drive
But are you happy etc etc etc
That you've not even driven yet
And that you got another one
That you can use instead
But are you happy
Are you happy Are you happy
When you get right down to the nitty gritty
Are you happy
Are you happy
Are you happy you

What about love
Money couldn't buy it and that's the crazy thing
When you've had enough of trying to deny it
Look what love can bring

Well are you happy Are you happy Are you happy
When you get right down to the nitty gritty Are you happy

You can be who you are,
Without having to prove,
In a sense who you are,
With attempts that are crude,
Buying acres of land, that you won't even use,
Is not the answer.

You say you got an Aunt,
Whose cousin is married to
A relative of the queen,
And that you get invited to
Every social scene

But are you happy
Are you happy Are you happy
When you get right down to the nitty gritty
Are you happy
Are you happy
Are you happy you

gilbert o sullivan - as a rule

Now I'm not, I repeat not anyway a prude
But the sight of two people cavorting on stage
Doing what can only be termed a natural act
Is unless you wear a raincoat only good for a laugh

As a rule, I never smoke while on duty
It just isn't on do I make myself clear
Though at times if there nobody's looking I will
I mean, life's too short and if I didn't smoke I bet
What with the luck that I have
I'd probably die of warty and, that would be that

Who would have thought it was humanly possible
To mate an elephant with a kangaroo
Well as my dear old mother once said in a rage
"Next thing you know they'll have pigs an the stage"

Whoever said blue skies were better than red
Must have been talking from out of his hat
I mean whose ever heard of a blue sky at night
Don't like waiting or suffocating
In over crowded tubes
But I like good wine with my dinner don't you
Yes we do

gilbert o sullivan - as long as i can

I don't want to live forever,
I just want to live as long as I can,

I don't want to live forever,
I just want to live as long as I can,
I just want to live as long as I can,

I don't know if you don't know me,
I don't know if you do or not,
I don't know if you don't know me,

You might do and then again you might not,
You might do but then again you might not, you might not,
And I've seen so many peculiar incidents in my life,
Like the time a fella got married to a fella,
He called his wife,
Did they make a handsome couple,
Well how are we to know,
What happens when they want a child,
Isn't that what keeps a marriage alive?

I don't want to live forever,
I just want to live as long as I can,
I just want to live as long as I can,

I just want to live as long as I can, as long as I can,
And I've Seen some how can I put this,
Funny things in my life,
Like the time a woman said sorry to a man,
She stabbed with a knife
And in view of all of this nonsense,
I think it's only fair,
To point out that despite its faults,
England still has HP sauce,

I don't want to live forever,
I just want to live as long as I can,
I just want to live as long as I can,

I just want to live as long as I can,
I just want to jive as long as I can,
As long as I can, as long as I can,
As long as I can, as long as I can.

gilbert o sullivan - at least i 039 m honest

I'd tell you a lie if I told you that
I wouldn't tell you the truth
I'd stand in the way of a runaway train
If it came towards you
Well maybe not if there was
I'm a coward I have to confess
But at least I'm honest

I'll never forget how it was that we met
You were just seventeen
I told you I liked older women
And you were the oldest I'd seen
You started to laugh
Told me I must be daft
Whereupon I said yes
But at least I'm honest

And I'll go on sending you birthday cards
That arrive the following week
And I'll try my hardest not to forget
Not to forget next year
And I'll come home late when I should be early
Blame It on the one for the road
Though it may not always be to your liking
For instance I could never climb
The highest mountain peak
To prove to you my love is true
I'm scared of heights you see

You never say much when I long for your touch
Except keep me enthralled
One thing I like about you is you're
Never embarrassed at all
Me. I'm so shy, that at night if the lights on
I won't get undressed
But at least I'm honest

I'll give you a lift on my bicycle
If you don't mind going slow
Needless to say it can vary
Depending on how the wind blows
Cars are okay but on my earnings
I couldn't afford the test
But at least I'm honest

And I'll go on telling your dear old mother
She's always welcome round here
That Is providing she can keep tier mouth shut
And doesn't interfere
And I will for want of a better word
Love you more than words ever say
Though it may not always be to your liking
I couldn't climb a mountain high
To prove I loved you so
I'm not the type, I'm scared of heights
A touch of vertigo

And I'll never hurt you. how could I do
You're the one good thing In my life
If it weren't for the fact we're already married
I'd marry you tonight
And I'll do whatever is necessary
To improve our standard of life
Though it may not always be to your liking
For instance I could never die
To prove my love was real
It wouldn't do a lot for you
And even less for me

gilbert o sullivan - at the very mention of your name

At the very mention of your name
Get shivers down my back and in my brain
The parts that used to function normally
Are now as you can see
Acting very strange

Oh at the very mention of your name
Don't know why but if I were tied up in chains
I would somehow be released
All problems too would cease
My heart would never feel no pain
At the very mention of your name

At the very moment you arrive
I stop living and I start to feel alive
You have the power that's taken over me
Led me to believe
Call it what you like

At the very moment you arrive
I suspect that I will pinch myself to find
That it really isn't true
It really can't be you
Walking up the garden drive
At the very moment you arrive

And although it's been said well over a thousand times
Here's a thousand more
Will you still be mine forever and evermore

At the very mention of your name
What am I to do and who am I to blame
The effect upon my life can only be described
A bit like being hit my a train
At the very mention of your name

gilbert o sullivan - because of you

There's never been a time like this before
Cos when I'm not with you like is such a bore
Now if I feel lonely or I fool blue
I'll know it's because of you.

You always tell me things that I want to know
Yet when you went away you never told me 50
Now if ever there's a time I have nothing to do
I'll know it's because of you

I'll never see you again
And I know I'll regret it somehow
Can't say that I envy me I'm not exactly myself right now

I'll never see you again
And I know I'll regret it somehow
Can't say that I envy me I'm not exactly myself right now

There's never been a time like this before
Cos when I'm not with you life is such a bore
Now if I feel lonely or I feel blue
I'll know it's because of you.
