Your Poppa Don't Mind
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
Give it a word, give it a try
Why don't you sleep out, stop living high?
You're on your own, you make your bed
Now time for wasting, just look ahead
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He's got a reputation that he don't look back
Your poppa don't mind at all
He's getting old, it's getting late
It's soon tomorrow, so celebrate
Bring it out, and go to town
Before you're thinkin' of settling down
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
Finding out is half the fun
And when you find out, don't try to run
And if you know then you've begun
But if you don't know, it's still to come
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He talks about his women and his old school's tie
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
Travelled
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
Travelled the world a million ways
Catching upon a familiar gaze
Everyone lives by do or die
There's no one with time to laugh or cry
There's no one to tell us what we're living for
And though I tried to be a good man
I just know that I'll be losing very soon
And there are times and there are motions
When I do believe I'm going out of tune, oh
Now I've been around a long, long while
looking for sun to make me smile
But still multiplty their daily bread
They're thinking, there lies good times ahead
It must be a mighty funny way to feel
And though I try to be a good man,
I keep finding there's nowhere to begin
And so I think I'll go on singing,
and in time I hope that we can all join in, oh
Rosie Had Everything Planned
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
Acting upon information received
Rosie had everything planned
Stood in a garden with shotgun in hand
What a woman
Whilst entertaining the headlines next day
Rosie would not be released
If it was found that her man was deceased
Silly woman
Oh but Rosie, a girl with a strange kind of humor
Stupidly took in a rumor
Making her think that she'd lost
Double-crossed by a man who dear
Stood in the garden and shaking her head
Rosie could not understand
Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand
Sad, sad woman
Oh but Rosie, how could a few words have made her
Certain that he had betrayed her
Making her think that she'd lost
Double-crossed by a man who dear
very near to her
Row upon row of angel-hair
Rosie had everything planned
Sure that the people would not understand
Sad, sad woman
Remember
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
I think it's funny, just a sad song
He likes his money, now you ain't got none
So is it mighty strange, now that you are so broke
Don't try to make it man, you haven't got a home
Remember when I was in trouble
You put down the phone
And anywhere you go, you go alone
It was a crush change, the money sure flew
You had a flash name, imagine you're broke
But now it's breaking up there's no one near you
Don't try for me to call 'cause I won't hear you
Remember when I was in trouble
You put down the phone
And anywhere you go, you go alone
Remember when I was in trouble
You put down the phone
And anywhere you go, you go alone
Well, don't you sit around, start to move on
Your life is broken down, so get a new one
And if you make it by and kiss the good life
Why don't you make it right just look at this time
Remember when I was in trouble
You put down the phone
And anywhere you go, you go alone
Forever
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
I will always love you true forever
Forever, I will always love you true
Hope you'll feel the same way too forever
Forever, I hope you feel the same way too
Want to spend my life with you forever
Forever, I want to spend my life with you
My life with you, my life with you, oh
Life with you, my life with you, oh
Love you 'till the day I die, yeah forever
Forever, love you 'till the day I die
So I'll sing this song to you forever
Forever, I will sing this song to you
Song to you, song to you
Song for you, song for you
Song for you, song for you
I really love you, I really need you
I'll always love you
I really love you, I think about you
Potter
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
The name is Potter, hi there
I'm sure getting hotter, mind there
I told her quick she could see my prickled cactus
Back in the confines of my home
She didn't say yes, but she didn't say no
So we're just gonna go get a cactus supper at home
Nigger in the woodpile, mind out
Trigger as a docile, find out
Roll up, roll up, come and see me, tickle me
Sing me songs like you've never seen before
Roll out, old town, to my place in town
It's a case of a pound and a race to the bedroom-door
Roll up, roll up, come and see me, tickle me
Sing me songs like you've never seen before
Roll out, hold on, till my place in town
In the case of a pound and a race till the bedroom-door
Coming Home to See You
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
You're very much like your mother
And that's a natural fact
But you couldn't look much like your brother's wife
Or anyone like that
And you don't look much like your sister
'Cause she's all big and fat
But don't breath a word to your mean all dad
'Cause I'll be gone midnight
I'm coming home to see you early in the morning
I'll be around and on the first train today
I'm coming home to see you while day's dawning
All aboard, all aboard
Put on some fancy clothes and meet me at the station
Make sure I don't mistake you for your sister Jane
Don't want to see you with tour goddamn relations
That's all for now, I'll se you, chiao
Times Have Changed
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
Captain I am sorry that this ship should go astray
Letting the ocean have it's own way
Lay me down to pass exam, I'll pay for all my sins
Pleading for mercy, my cancel begins
Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I notice there's at last a chance for me
In and out of tumor, and in another mind
Deeper the ocean, stronger the tide
Stormy seas suround me, no sails to keep me dry
I pray to you captain, but you heard not my cry
Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I notice there's at last a chance for me
For me, for my story
Let me lie in peace
I want to say I'm sorry now
Then I'll be on my way
Then I'll be on my way
Then I'll be on my way
Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I notice there's at last a chance for me
Friend in Need
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
Hey buddy, want to talk to you
'Bout a friend in need, a friend indeed
I hear you got a few friends too
Live up the stairs, sell their wears
And they don't care, 'cause they don't know that
Oooh he's very lovely
Oooh he's lost his one and only
Woman that he's ever had
He sure feels bad, can you make him glad?
Hey mister can you help him out?
Can you put him straight, before it gets to late
And show him what it's all about
Hey mister, well, he's got the dough?
How much will it be, to pay the fee?
I guess that you can see through me
So I'll be straight with you, I'll tell the truth
Friend in need is just really me
Aries
(Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson)
Alright, let's get the whole thing cooking
I try to run in a different race
But every time I seem to loose faith
Making it is hard, but taking is easy
But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace
I try to walk down a city street
I say hello to the people I meet
They're walking their way, thinking I'm crazy
But I have so much trouble just to keeping the beat
Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
Whatever I was blessed with
Well, it wasn't a life of peace
All right, yeah
Here she comes
Oh, maybe I'm just a country boy
The city life bring me no joy
Well it's bringing me down, it's making me lonely
You see I'm fooling with life and it ain't no toy
Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
And whenever I got problems
I just call upon Aries
All right, yeah
Here she comes
Here she comes
