I'm Only Sleeping

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream)
Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
'Til they find there's no need (there's no need)
Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling
Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping
Ooh yeah
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream)
Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping

"CHERRIES"
Words and Music Linda Chorney
We're born and we cling to our loving mothers like little monkeys
and we crawl and we walk and we talk and Dad pushes from behind a bicycle screaming peddle as fast
as you can and don't stop
then you put your tooth under a pillow and get money in the morning from a fairy
and your taught to believe in God and life is just a great big bowl of cherries
Yeah life's a great big bowl of cherries
too innocent to notice all the pits
but whats to come we don't know when we're young, when we're young
Then you go to school and maybe get lucky enough to be the teacher's pet
then you go to school and learn about rules and how kids are cruel and you don't like homework
then you have your first crush and its a rush and even your first kiss
and you have your heart broken for the first time and bite on your first pit
Yeah life's a great big bowl of cherries
just be careful of the pits
so you don't break your tooth on the truth of whats to come when we're young, when we're young
Then you have your first drink and cigarette and auto wreck
and run way from home for at least three hours
get a job or procrastinate the inevitable by going back to school
you get a loan cuz your in debt you got bills stacked so high you can barely see
then you learn it's not as easy and money doesn't grow on cherry trees
Yeah life's a great big bowl of cherries
til you gotta pay for the fruit
so you eat what you can and begin to know life's not gonna get easier as we grow, we're still young
Then you fall in love and you think it will last forever
and if forever lasts a few years you you're in for a hell of ride
and maybe you'll find the right one who will do you no wrong and you feel the words of love songs
til you find out he's been climbing up someone else's tree
Yeah life's a great big bowl of cherries
till you find some are rotten so you weed out the bad ones, eventually forgotten
and whats to come we're not so sure as we mature, we're still young
The you have a kid or two or none, watch the news and view the insanity of war and religion
then you may realize you were taught to believe in God just because the people before you and before them were taught to believe the same thing
Yeah life's a great big bowl of cherries til you choke on a pit
but you get a friend to give you the Heimlich and spit
and lean on their shoulder and breath in anticipation of what you get when you get older
Then you're in a hospital room with your family watching a loved one die
and you think about your life and your head spins at how fast time flies by
then you turn around to the beautiful sound of a newborn baby's cry
Yeah life's a great big bowl of cherries sometimes bittersweet
but you taste all you can, and embrace all the love and avoid all the hate
and never hesitate to put your heart out on a limb
and laugh and be silly with my friends and sing at the top of my lungs my favorite Beatles songs
oh cuz we never know when we're gonna go...
but what's to come will come no more when we're gone

Finally I Can Say These Relieving Words With Confidence
Finally I Can Say These Revealing Words Without Defense
Finally There Will Be No Twists Or Turns To Reverse The Story
Because I Will Never Harm You
And I Will Always Love You
And I Will Never Leave You
Finally
Finally, I Can Look Into The Eyes Of A Man Who Sees Me
Finally, I Can Throw All Fear Of Abandonment Away
Finally, I Can Make A Commitment That's For Eternity
Because You Will Never Harm Me
And You Will Always Love Me
And You Will Never Leave Me
Finally
And I Will Drive You Crazy Sometimes
And You Will Drive Me Crazy Many Days
But It's Not My Way Or The Highway
It's Your Way And It's My Way
And That's The Only Way To Stay
In Love

Going To California
07:54

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going To California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that they're all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake
Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high
To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings
La la la la
Side a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems

I'm Not Gonna Say It

Well it's about that time we've been together for a while
It's been on the tip of my tongue are you going to see it while we're still young
Second verse
I could take a chance and let it out but if there's a dead silence after I'm going to have to shout
I ain't gonna take that chance I swear you feel it but I'm gonna do that dance
Shall we dance
Well my patience really paid off today
He said he really really wanted to see it for a while
And he said it with a smile
He said I love you baby
No, I didn't have to say it, I didn't have to say it,
I didn't have to say it foist
I didn't have to say it that's the way you want to play it
You don't want to jinx it if it's real it'll come
Don't say it first the double standard is a curse
Don't go there wait at the stop sign
Let him walk the line until it's time
And take it all Lynn when he says the words so well deserved
Bathe in it Splash in it jump up and down
No I didn't have to see it first

Ladies And Gentlemen May I Have Your Attention
This Is A Special Report. I Take No Pleasure In Informing You
That There's Been An Infiltration
I Suggest You Cancel Your Reservations To The Promised Land
Let Down Jerked Around Led Around Without Warning Without A Sound
Expectation Have No Place Delusion Has Its Purpose
To Kid Yourself If You Can. You're A Better Man. I Tip My Hat Off To You
Reality Gets The Best Of Me. I'd Rather Live In Fantasy
My Eyes Are Open And I See Broken Promise Land Of Tragedy
We All Live In Our Own Little Worlds And I Guess That's All We Can Do
But It's Hard Not To Think Of The Others Who Don't Have As Good As You
Clearwater Exist No More, Mother Natures Looking For The Door
To Run Away From The Mess We Made But She’s Stuck Here In A Rage
She Blows Her Mind Like A Hurricane, Her Tears Flood The Terrain
She Trembles And Makes The Earthquake, Can’t Handle All The Mistakes
Optimism Has Its Place, Somehow The Heart Find The Space
Feel Love Just The Same, That's All We've Got To Win The Game
We’ve Only Got Ourselves And Each Other If We're Lucky
And If We're Not We're Alone
I Think Of All The People I've Shared Myself With, Spent Years With
That No Longer Exist, But Still Walk The Planet
But Not My Street. No Longer Holding My Hand, In The Broken Promise Land
It's A Broken Promise Land
Maybe The Ignorant Hold The Key, Or The Dreamers That Speak So Flowery
And I'm Searching For The Niche For Me
Somebody Help Me See The Light
Somebody Tell Me It's Gonna Be All Right
Somebody Hold Me Through The Night
Is There A Drug Out There To Make Me Believe
The Promised Land Is Up My Sleeve
And Just Like Magic It Will Appear
And The Overcast Will Clear
Oh How The Sun Will Shine
Now Everything Is Fine
Let's Skip Hand In Hand To The Broken Promise Land
Optimism Has Its Place
Somehow The Heart Finds The Space
To Feel Love Just The Same, That's All We Got To Win The Game
In The Broken Promise Land

Do It While You Can
Is It Hot Or Is It Me, Do It While You Can
I'm Not Saying I'm Hot Like A Babe Although I Am
Do It While You Can
I'm Just Melting Like The Wicked Witch, What A World To Be A Girl
Do It While You Can
Do It While You Can, Find Yourself A Good Man
And Do It While You Can
If You Got That Stuff Go and Flaunt It
If You Don’t, Cover It Up I Don't Want To See It - But Do It While You Can
And Don't Give Away The Farm Unless He's Worthy Of Your Charms
And Do It While You Can
Do It While You Can, Strike Up The Band And Do It
Now When We're In Bed We Watch TV Instead
Do It While You Can
The Upside Is That I Don't Have The Urge To Cheat
I Remain Monogamous And That's Pretty Sweet
And I Don't Want Another Ex I Just Want To Eat
Do It While You Can
I Plootee - Sklatoo - Splaytee _ Sploosey
Wowed - While I Cook - Boobie Snapper

Mothers Little Helper
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
"Kids Are Different Today"
I Hear Ev'ry Mother Say
Mother Needs Something Today To Calm Her Down
And Though She's Not Really Ill
There's A Little Yellow Pill
She Goes Running For The Shelter Of A Mother's Little Helper
And It Helps Her On Her Way, Gets Her Through Her Busy Day
"Things Are Different Today"
I Hear Ev'ry Mother Say
Cooking Fresh Food For A Husband's Just A Drag
So She Buys An Instant Cake And She Burns Her Frozen Steak
And Goes Running For The Shelter Of A Mother's Little Helper
And Two Help Her On Her Way, Get Her Through Her Busy Day
Doctor Please, Some More Of These
Outside The Door, She Took Four More
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
"Men Just Aren't The Same Today"
I Hear Ev'ry Mother Say
They Just Don't Appreciate That You Get Tired
They're So Hard To Satisfy, You Can Tranquilize Your Mind
So Go Running For The Shelter Of A Mother's Little Helper
And Four Help You Through The Night, Help To Minimize Your Plight
Doctor Please, Some More Of These
Outside The Door, She Took Four More
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
"Life's Just Much Too Hard Today"
I Hear Ev'ry Mother Say
The Pursuit Of Happiness Just Seems A Bore
And If You Take More Of Those, You Will Get An Overdose
No More Running For The Shelter Of A Mother's Little Helper
They Just Helped You On Your Way, Through Your Busy Dying Day

Somebody Give Me A Lobotomy
Shut Down This Anxiety
Turn Off The Switch In Me
Got To Let It Go
A Pill Is Not The Answer
To All Of These Questions Tolerating Insanity
Got To Let It Go
I’m Out Of Control
Can't Make It Stop Never Used To Be This Way
Am I Actually Going Crazy
The Universe In My Head
I Can't Rule It – I Can't Fool It
Give Me The Power
To Not Care What People Do Or Say
I Know The Truth
And That's All That Should Matter
Just A Good Night Sleep
Wake Up Feeling Like A Million
Without A Billion Thoughts In My Mind
Woman Can You Be So Kind
Woman Can You Be So Kind To Me
And Let It Go
I've Got A Lump In My Throat
I Feel Like I'm Gonna Choke
And I Think About How Good My Life Is
Compared To So Many Others
Without Mothers And Clothes And Food
Bombs Going Off In Backyards
And I Say To Myself Snap Out Of It
But How Can I
When I Know So Many Senseless Things Take Place
And People Hide Behind Their Faith
I Could Fix So Many Things But I Can't
So Challenge Myself To A Duel
To Let It Go

I Love My Country Just Like Anyone Else Loves Their's
And I Think Those Who’s Intentions Have Been To Protect
But If I Was Asked Or Ordered To Go To War, I Would Defect
Call Me A Deserter Call Me Unpatriotic And All Sorts Of Names
But At Least I Could Hear You Just The Same
While I Still Have My Ears And Eyes And Arms And Legs
I Won't Be Put In A Position To Take A Life Or Be Dead
No I Don't Wanna Have To Kill
And I Don't Want To Take A Fall
I Kissed The Flag By And Go Awol
There Has To Be A Better Solution
Can There Be No Peaceful Resolutions
If You Take What's Not Yours Without Asking
Someone's Gonna Slap Your Hand
And You're Gonna Slap Back Even Harder
Then It Escalates To Using A Gun
Find More Efficient Ways To Kill
Mothers, Fathers, Daughters And Sons
Repeat Chorus
There Has To Be A Better Way
Should I Could Take Away All The Pain
Of The Brave Who Tried To Do The Right Thing
Sweet Land Of Liberty Of The I Sing
No I Don't Think You Wanna Kill
And I Don't Believe You Wanna Take A Fall
I Wonder What You Do If You Were In The Same Position
When Are We Going To Get It Right
Will Our Species Ever Figure Out How Not To Fight
So The Whole World Could Sleep Peacefully Throughout The Night

When The In Falls Out Of Love It's Time To Go
When The Sun No Longer Shines When He Walks Through The Door
And My Heart Becomes Cold And Beats For Him No More
When The In Falls Out Of Love It's Time To Go
How Can It Be That One Minute I Can't See
Without His Arms Wrapped Around Me
And The Next Thing I Know
I Can't Stand Another Day Another Minute Another Second
It's Time To Hit The Road
When The In Falls Out Of Love It's Time To Go
What Part Of The Equations Missing
When A And B Equals No More Kissing
When You Minus Me Equals X I Am Perplexed
When It's No Longer Fun Me Over You Equals Done
And I Can't Figure Out Y
It's Not That I Don't Care
I Love You But This Is Going Nowhere
It Was Good For A Spell Till We Went Downhill
Are We Meant To Be Like Penguins Only Having One Mate
Well This Birds Got Fluttering Wings And I Got A Fly
When The In Falls Out Of Love It's Time To Go
