Album Lyrics Side 1
Country Road ( Pinckney )
Green Trees, shining in the summer light
Green fields, steaming in the summer night
Speak on, you’ve already lost the fight
Slow down, we no longer see the sight
Follow the country road
Grey birds, turning in the summer sun
They know, all their time hs nearly gone
Pylons, ages past you’ll have to run
New breed, the age of science has begun
Follow the country road
Gardenia ( Christmas )
Gardenia, guarding your ways
heaven and hell set for you
gardenia, guarding your ways
although life is for you
Think carefully about all your time
you've got to make it your way
I know you cannot be lying
you've seen the wrong of your ways
You get to thinking right
and say goodnight and so
maybe I missed a line
I think you're fine to know
Trying to find my way ( Pinckney/Taylor )
Out in the cold, left on my own
there was one who saw me
trying to find my way
Siily to cry, this will go by
someone will save me
trying to find my way
Can't anybody, make a mistake, oh! no!
make a break, oh! no!
give and take oh! no!
It will come good, surely it should
there was one who saw me
trying to find my way
Maybe there'll be, someone for me
someone to save me
trying to find my way
For my lady ( Hunt )
Hear me now as I tell you a story
take it all in, cos i'll only tell it once
to you, to you
Sentimental journey forward
got to make hay while the sun shines
Look for the star that will lead you on
to everything you ever wanted
I'll make sure
I'll make sure
For my lady
for my lady
for my lady
Take a walk and sort your mind out
mixing up the thoughts you have
If the time comes when the matter's in hand
it's too late to turn around and show them
I'll make sure
I'll make sure
For my lady
for my lady
for my lady
It's morning ( Pinckney )
The painted lady cries as she hides herself away
The gambling man with spider's hands is dealing in the day
a barman made of ice wipes his hands upon his shirt
The sun comes up and shines upon the dirt it's morning
Morning and the sun will shine on you, shine on you
Morning and the sun will tell you so, tell you so
The undertaker peers thru a curtain shrouded crack
The fight had made the headlines leaving no one looking back
Early morning workers looking for a place to feed
The sun comes up and shines upon their need it's morning
Morning and the sun will shine on you, shine on you
Morning and the sun will tell you so, tell you so
The organ grinder's music comes and slowly fills the air
The secret sounds that made the night are soon no longer there
Alleycats are sleeping and the children take their place
The sun comes up and shines upon your face it's morning
Morning and the sun will shine on you, shine on you
Morning and the sun will tell you so, tell you so
Why ( Hunt )
Walking along the lane
watching the misty rain
falling on all that surrounds me
Kicking along about three miles an hour
what did you think about the day before last
was it ok or was it just another day
of familiar things which have happened before
O'h the perfume lingers
o'h my mind does wonder, why?
You don't seem to worry where the money comes from
Couldn't care less for what you're doing is wrong
Christmas all the year with the big cigars
when you're running around in that expensive car
O'h the perfume lingers
o'h my mind does wonder, why?
All dressed up like a posh dog's dinner
where are you going? Can I come along too?
If you are kind then I'll only walk behind
and i'll only speak if I am spoken to
O'h the perfume lingers
o'h my mind does wonder, why?
