Look Before You Leap Composer(s): Dave Clark - Lenny Davidson Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five
You got to look before you leap There's heartaches around every corner You got to look before you leap There's heartaches around every corner Well, one fine day I met this girl She was oh so fine Well she said 'Boy, I'm gonna love love love you For a long long time' Now I said 'Wait... wait... wait... wait...' You got to look before you leap There's heartaches around every corner You got to look before you leap There's heartaches around every corner Well, she said 'Right, I'm gonna prove you're wrong Just you wait and see Now take my hand and look into my eyes And you'll disagree' But I said 'Now, wait... wait.... wait... wait...' You got to look before you leap There's heartaches around every corner You got to look before you leap There's heartaches around every corner Now that she has seen the light It was understood Cause the very next day she walked away with someone else Like I knew she would So I said 'Now, look... look... look... look...' You got to look before you leap, believe me baby There's heartaches around every corner You got to look before you leap, I'm telling you now There's heartaches around every corner So look... look... look before you leap
Sitting On Top Of The World Composer(s): Jem Finer; James Fearnley; Terry Woods Performer(s): The Pogues
Well it's been a long day but I don't like to moan It's the middle of summer and I'm chilled to the bone THere's holes in my shoes where the rain comes in I'm sitting on top of the world
Walking in the shadows of empty office blocks I was talking to a stranger and he's on the rocks Down on the pavement living in a box I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no can't anybody see It's been a bad day and I want a little peace
Oh no won't you please help me I want to lie down but there's no beds free
Down on the corner there's starry eyed preachers Rattling cans and pimping Jesus There's madmen on boxes makig speeches I'm sitting on top of the world
You can't sit in the sunshine or go out after dark There's dogs on the loose acting like sharks There's psychos on the streets burning winos in the park I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no I wish I was gone I want to get going before too long
Oh no I want to leave town But I can't drive my car 'cause they put it in the pound
The masters of industry are killing for oil There's poison in the air the water and the soil We're all turning mutant they're counting up their spoils I'm sitting on top of the world
I turn on the TV and it makes me want to cry There's killing and there's torture there's destruction and there's lies And our leaders talk rubbish and more people die I'm sitting on top of the world
Oh no I can't take anymore I'm shaking all over and my nerves are all raw
Oh no my head's a little sore I want to get out but I can't find the door

Sitting On Top Of The World Composer(s): Walter Vinson First release by: Mississippi Sheiks - 1930 Covered by multiple other artists
Was all the summer, and all the fall Just trying to find my little all in all But now she's gone, and I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day Just when she left me, she's gone to stay But now she's gone, and I don't worry Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
An' you come runnin', holdin' up your hand Can't get me a woman, cranky you can get a man But now you're gone, and now I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Have been days, I didn't know your name Why should I worry or cry in vain But now she's gone, now I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Went to the station, down in the yard Gonna get me a freight train, worked and got to home But now she's gone, and I don't worry Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by Why should you beg me oh say goodbye But now she's gone, and I don't worry Oh cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Look At The Wood Composer(s): Grace Slick - Paul Kantner Performer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner
Look at the wood and the way he carves it Must have taken him years I asked him the price and he said it was free And I couldn't believe my ears
Tell me old man how long have you lived To have such amazing talent I'm twenty years short of a century And the best years are in the balance
As a baby his mother had fed him frogs And a wide assortment of lizards It made him tough and wise and strange And gave him the mind of a wizard
He had a new woman every five years Faithful to each in her turn They gave him children and time to smile And he showed them all the love they could learn The man had love to burn
Now he's lived his life and he'll live it again Thru one more gentle soul You'll know him by his smile and his fork held high He'll be dining on toads and moles
Look at the wood and the way he carves it Look at the sun, the golden harvest Must have taken him years
