Taking Some Time On
Composer(s): John Lees - Les Holroyd - Mel Pritchard - Woolly Wolstenholme
Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest



Let's come on and get together
Like the sky gets to the sea
Just taking some time on
Let's come on and make it better
Let's make everybody see
Just taking some time on
For those who feel inclined
To talk about the hidden feelings of their mind
Let's come on and get together
Let's come on and get together
Like the sky with the sea
Like the sky with the sea
Just taking some time on

Let's come on and tell the story
Of the way it used to be
Just taking some time on
Let's come on and sing a song now
Of the days when we were free
Just taking some time on
For those who feel inclined
To talk about the hideen feelings of their mind
Let's come on and get together
Let's come on and get together
Like the sky with the sea
Like the sky with the sea
Just taking some time on

Let's come on the feeling's right now
We want everyone to be
Just taking some time on
Let's come on and get together
Like the sky gets to the sea
Just taking some time on
For those who feel inclined
To talk about the hideen feelings of their mind
Let's come on and get together
Let's come on and get together
Like the sky with the sea
Like the sky with the sea
Just taking some time on

Mr. Apollo
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall; Neil Innes
Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band



I have seen Mr. Apollo uproot trees with his bare hands
I have seen Mr. Apollo's body-building plan
He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
And-- and you can beat up bullies until they cry
"oh lor'! 
Oh, crikey let go, you rotter 
Don't punish me!"

And you're tough (You're very fit)
Your voice is gruff (It sounds like grit)
You are so strong (and proud of it)
Thanks to Mr. Apollo
Follow Mr. Apollo
Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind
Follow Mr. Apollo
Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind

You know
He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
And-- you can kick the sand right back in their faces 
Kick! (laugh)

Chorus

(Chorus In Background)
Yes 
Just give me ten years of your life 
and I'll trade in that puny flab for living muscle 
The physique you deserve! 
Strong
Chesty shoulders to hold your shirt up (He can do it for you)
Five years ago, I was a four-stone apology 
Today, I am two separate gorillas 
No tiresome excercises 
No tricks 
No unpleasant bending 
Wrestle poodles and win! 
Play beachball!
Shave your legs (Yes, he can do it for you)
Knock over walls 
Tease people! 
Brush them aside as though they were matchsticks 
Impress your friends

Giving Up
Composer(s): Van McCoy
Performer(s): Donny Hathaway;
and various other artists



Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone
Giving up .... so hard to do
When you still depend upon
Her warm and tender touch
Her kiss and her hug..........her caress
Oooooh that used to mean so much
And bring you happiness
Woooo ooooooooh

Giving up, so hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use
Giving up, so hard to do
I said I've tried
But it just ain't no use
But my light of hope is burning dim
But
But in my heart I pray
That my love and faith in the girl
My love...will bring her back someday

I'm talking 'bout when you really love someone

Whether
Whether she knows or not
She really needs me too
The little girl is all I got
Yes she is
And giving, giving up is hard to do
Giving up
So hard to do
Heey...giving up
So very hard to do
I said I've tried
Hey, but I just can't get loose
Giving up
So hard for me to do
I don't want to lose you
Cause you mean so much to me

Taking My Business Elsewhere
Composer(s): Richard Thompson
Performer(s): Richard Thompson



If she's not here by now, then I guess she's not coming
If she's not here by now, then I guess she don't care
Oh waiter, I won't waste your time anymore
You've already started to sweep down the floor
And I guess she's not coming, so I'll head for the door
I'll be taking my business elsewhere

It wasn't for me, that spark in her eyes
It wasn't for me, that halo in her hair
When she touched me a lump rose up into my throat
But she must act that way with any old soak
And waiter you don't seem to share in the joke
So I'll be taking my business elsewhere

She called me her fantasy
And boldly she kissed me
I'll never get over the sheer surprise
Of her acting that way
And I'm healing okay
But for the eyes of her...

Oh it's cold in the rain and it's dark and it's sad
And I'll miss her tonight on my lonely back stair
I'm sorry for taking so much of your space
I'll move down the street to some friendlier place
'Cause I guess she's not coming, and you're sick of my face
I'll be taking my business elsewhere

Mr. And Mrs. Used To Be
Composer(s): Joe Deaton
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
Loretta Lynn; Leon Redbone



Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
For oh so long I've loved you I know that you loved me
But time moved on and we grew far apart
It's not the way I wanted but the judge has set you free
Although you're still the first one in my heart

I just don't understand it how people such as we
Could know the love that we have known but somehow disagree
I hope that you'll be happy the same to you from me
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

At first it was like heaven on earth for you and me
But heaven's sure has changed a lot since then
I can't put all the blame on you for some belongs to me
What started out as heaven reached an end

I guess we could have made it but pride stood in our way
For love to live it must have worked we never seemed the same
And so I say goodbye now, kiss the kids for me
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

Giving It All Away
Composer(s): David Courtney; Leo Sayer
Performer(s): Roger Daltrey; Leo Sayer



I paid all my dues so
I picked up my shoes
got up and walked away
Oh! I was just a boy
I didn't know how to say?

Worked hard and failed
now all I can say
is I threw it all away
Oh! I was just a boy
giving it all away

Sail away, Sail away

Oooooooh! Well I know better now
I know better now
giving it all away

Oooooooh! Well I know better now
I know better now
giving it all away

Went out in this world
to much for my nerve
only myself to blame
Oh! I was just a boy
nobody else to blame

I've done all I can
now it's out of my hands
stand on my head and say

Oh! I was just a boy
giving it all away

Sail away, Sail away

Ooooooh! Well I know better now
I know better now
giving it all away... 
....Just a boy, giving it all away
I was just a boy giving it all away
I was just a boy, giving it all away 
Just a boy giving it all away 
Just a boy!

Taking a child by the hand
Teaching him just how to stand
So he'll accept what tomorrow may bring
Taking a child for a king

Taking a child in your arms
And as you feel your heart sing
Drying his tears as you're letting him cling
Taking a child for a king

Taking a child to your heart
Soothing away his distress
Softly in silence to soothe and caress
Taking a child to your heart

Taking a child in your arms
And as you feel your heart sing
Tears start to fall as you're letting him cling
Taking a child for a king

Taking a child by the hand
Singing him nursery rhymes
So that he'll sleep at the end of the day
Singing his troubles away

Taking a child to your breast
Soothing away his unrest
And looking on to the future you've planned
Taking a child by the hand

Years on your own, now no longer alone
Taking a child for your own

Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
Voor wie niet weet waar dat ligt
Ergens in het uiterste zuiden van het land
Parel van het Limburgse land
Stad met een eigen gezicht
Door de Romeinen gesticht
En door de Fransen beinvloed als geen
Kom maar, dan gaan we er heen

Kom met me mee en flaneer
Proef die Bourgondische sfeer
Stad van traditie, van wierrook en bier
Altijd het grootste plezier
Stad aan de kolkende Maas
Weinig bezongen, helaas
Stad zoals jij bent, zo is er niet een
Kom maar dan gaan we er heen

Hmmmmm, hmmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmmm

Kom met me mee naar Maastricht
Stad met het oude gezicht
Stokoude straten maar jong nog van hart
Altijd een beetje apart
Stad aan de kolkende Maas
Weinig bezongen helaas
Zo'n zachte G als jij heeft er niet een
Kom maar dan gaan we er heen
Stad als een onuigesproken gedicht
Kom met me mee naar Maastricht

Groeten uit Maastricht

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
'Round Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night, we got into a fight
I feel so breakup, I want to go home

So hoist up the John B sails
See how the mains'l's set
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
I feel so breakup
I want to go home

The first mate he got drunk
Broke up the people's trunk
Constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff Johnstone, please let me alone
I fell so breakup, I want to go home

So hoist up the John B sails
See how the mains'l's set
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
I feel so breakup
I want to go home

The stewardess she got stewed
Ran 'round the poop deck nude
Constable had to come and take her away
Sheriff Johnstone please let me alone
I feel so breakup, I want to to home

So hoist up the John B sails
See how the mains'l's set
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
I feel so breakup
I want to go home

Run, run, run
Mary, run, run, run
Jimmy, run, run, run
Mary, run, run, run

Mary and Jimmy were both very young
But as much in love
As two people could be
And all they wanted
Was to share that love eternally

They went to their folks they told them
That someday soon they'd be wed
Their folks just laughed
And called them kids
So Mary said

Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day

They wouldn't have laughed at Mary
If they could have seen through the door
But Jimmy was waiting in the car
While Mary begged once more

Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day

Well as they drove off they were crying
And nobody knows for sure
That, that's why they didn't see the sign
That read detour

The next day they found them
Mary and Jimmy were dead
And as their folks
Knelt beside them in the rain
They couldn't help but hear
The last words that Mary and Jimmy had said

Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day

Run, run, run
Mary, run, run, run
Jimmy, run, run, run
Mary, run, run, run

Taking A Chance On Love

First performance by: Ethel Waters - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists



Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love

Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love

I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now I'm taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high

Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love

Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
I got that grip again
Taking a chance on love

Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
I'm in a groove again
Taking a chance on love

I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye

On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

Moving Waves
Composer(s): Inayat Khan; Thijs Van Leer
Performer(s): Focus



Moving waves, the wind has left you
And you're still in commotion?
Moving waves, the wind has left you
And you're still in commotion?

We are still repeating the word it has taught us
It moves our whole being into ecstasy

Waves, why do you all become excited
And then all calm together?
Because behind our individual action
There is one impulse working
Because behind our individual action
There is one impulse working

Rising waves...what motive is behind your impulse?
What motive is behind your impulse?

The desire to reach upwards!!

Eerst heb je de oude man
een pimpelpaarse neus
versleten en poreus
die niets onthouden kan
Hij, die zich zo bezet en zo gezopen heeft
dat hij zichzelf vergat en als een ander leeft
Hij, meneer, hij is half gaar, meneer
hij denkt koning te zijn
maar zuipt elke nacht weer de zelfde slechte wijn, meneer
en 's ochtends
vindt men hem, paars-kaars wit
stijf als een marmeren zerk
terwijl hij ronkend pit
Daarna, meneer, scheel van de drank
hikt hij de Here dank
Begrijp me wel, meneer, dat bij dit slag volk, meneer
praat men niet
men bidt...

En dan de andere man, hij is geen kam gewend
heeft klitten in zijn haar
maakt graag een ruim gebaar
dat voos is als de motten in het weggeschonken hemd
Hij, meneer, hij trouwde Liselotte
een schatje uit de stad, nou ja, een andere stad
en u weet niet waar
zij, zij heeft zaakjes daar
die doet ze, klein koket, het hoedje scheef gezet
in kleine cabriolet
ze doet zich duur voor meneer
maar als je geen centen hebt, meneer
koop dan geen portemonnee, meneer
Begrijp me goed, meneer, bij dit slag volk meneer
praat men niet, denkt men niet, doet men niet, meneer
men nept...

En dan, en dan is er de rest, de moeder die niets zegt
althans niets van belang, en dan ontstellend echt
de puriteinse smoel van vader op 't behang
z'n snor omlijst en koel, hij ziet op 't gehoor
z'n soep slikkende troep en dat gaat dan van...

En dan, de hele oude vrouw
ze beeft meer dan ze leeft
men, meneer, men wacht tot ze 't begeeft
omdat ze duiten heeft
men luistert niet zo nauw naar wat haar hand vertelt
Begrijp me wel, meneer, dat bij dit slag volk meneer
praat men niet, doet men niet, denkt men niet, meneer
men telt...

En dan, en dan, en dan is er Frieda
ze is zo mooi, zo teer, ze houdt van mij, meneer
net als ik hou van haar, zelfs zo dat wij elkaar
een huis hebben gebouwd dat heel veel ramen
maar heel weinig muren heeft, meneer
waar 't goed is dat je leeft, meneer
en valt 't nog te bezien, meneer
dan is het toch misschien...

Maar God
meneer, de anderen, meneer
de anderen willen niet, meneer, de anderen zeggen
ze is te mooi voor jou
jij bent
een vuile
kattenmepper
een kattenmepper, meneer...

en ik, meneer, ik wilde nooit een kat, meneer
nou ja, niet sinds ik haar ken of, of 't was
of 't was zo lang terug al, dat ik 't al lang vergat, meneer
of 't was een zieke kat, meneer
De anderen
ze willen 't niet

Soms als ze mij weer ziet
per ongeluk, expres
met vochtig, trouwe blik
verteld ze weg te gaan
met mij van huis vandaan
en dan, voor een ogenblik
één ogenblik, ach, dan geloof ik haar, meneer
dan geloof ik haar
maar u weet niet waar, meneer
bij dit slag volk
bij dit slag volk, gaat men niet weg meneer
men gaat niet weg, meneer...

maar 't is al laat, meneer
ik moet nu terug naar huis

It's so easy to play up your breakdown
It's so easy to fly through a window
It's so easy to fool with the sound

It's so tough to get up
It's so tough
It's so tough to live up
It's so tough on you

Did you ever see two Yankees 
part upon a foreign shore
When the good ship's just about to 
start for Old New York once more?

With teardimmed eye they say goodbye
they're friends without a doubt
When the man on the pier 
Shouts "Let them clear", as the ship strikes out

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there

Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there

Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long

Say hello to dear old Coney Isle
If there you chance to be
When you're at the Waldorf 
have a smile and charge it up to me

Mention my name every place you go
as 'round the town you roam
Wish you'd call on my gal
Now remember, old pal when you get back home

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there

Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
and say that I'll be there ever long

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street
that I will soon be there

You blow my mind, with the things you do to me girlie
I can't resist your luscious lips caressing my body
How do you keep not from fallin'
fallin' in love, with a girl that can do you

You blow my mind with the things you do to me girlie

Takin' my time with you girl
never know when we'll do this again
takin' my time with you girl
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
I hear your voice callin'
(baby please pick up the phone)
But I don't wanna answer
I got too many women
so I'm tellin' you not to fall in love with me
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
The time is right for you to be close to me indefinitely
they say good things come to those who wait
I need to hold you in my arms

Moving stranger
Does it really matter
As long as you're not afraid to feel? 
Touch me, hold me
How my open arms ache! 
Try to fall for me

How I'm moved
How you move me 
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul

Moving liquid
Yes, you are just as water
You flow around all that comes in your way
Don't think it over
It always takes you over
And sets your spirit dancing

How I'm moved
How you move me 
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul
