The Black Hat

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade, Laying everybody low with a love song that he made, Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade. Says something like you and me babe how about it?

When no one else can understand me, when everything I thing I do is wrong, you give home and consolation, you give strength to carry on....

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off. Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.

is wondering if Hornby will go north?

Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs Of every head he's had the pleasure to know. And all the people that come and go Stop and say "Hello"...

When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm, I should have listened to my old man, You know you can't hold me forever, I didn't sign up with you, I'm not a present for your friends to open, This boy's too young to be singing the blues..

It's the most wonderful time of the year, With the kids jingle belling, And everyone telling you be of good cheer, It's the most wonderful time of the year...

I want my... I want my MTV. I want my... I want my MTV... I want my... I want my MTV.

Johny's in the basement, Mixing up the medicine, I'm on the pavement, Thinking about the government, The man in a trench coat, Badge out, laid off, Says he's got a bad cough, Wants to get it paid off....

My brother Jake, Hat, shades, Head in a daze. My brother Jake, Have you though about, Changin' your ways? He goes out, He don't have no doubt, He don't have to know, What the world's about.

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky, Stormy weather, Since my girl and I ain't together, Keeps rainin' all of the time...

She stood there bright as the sun, On that California coast, He was a Midwestern boy on his own, She looked at him with those soft eyes, So innocent and blue, He knew right then he was too far from home, He was too far from home, She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach, They watched the waves tumble over the sand, They drove for miles and miles, Up those twisting turning roads, Higher and higher and higher they climbed...

I went down to the crossroads, Fell down on my knees. I went down to the crossroads, Fell down on my knees. Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please."

A bottle of white, a bottle of red, Perhaps a bottle of rose instead, We'll get a table near the street, In our old familiar place, You and I - face to face. A bottle of red, a bottle of white, It all depends upon your appetite, I'll meet you any time you want, In our Italian Restaurant

There's sunshine in my stomach, Like I just rocked my baby to sleep. There's sunshine in my stomach, And I can't keep me from creeping sleep, Sleep, deep in the deep.

When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you, When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you, And if I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you...

Clair, The moment I met you, I swear I felt as if something, somewhere, Had happened to me, Which I couldn't see, And then the moment I met you again, I knew in my heart that we were friends...

I couldn't figure why You couldn't give me what everybody needs, I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down, My baby I find out everybody knows, That you've been using me, I'm surprised you Let me stay around you, One day I'm gonna lift the cover, And look inside your heart, We gotta level before we go, And tear this love apart..

In the white room with black curtains near the station, Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings, Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes, Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines...

It's a god-awful small affair, To the girl with the mousy hair, But her mummy is yelling, "No!" And her daddy has told her to go, But her friend is nowhere to be seen, Now she walks through her sunken dream, To the seat with the clearest view, And she's hooked to the silver screen...

Seen the lights go out Broadway, I saw the Empire State laid low, And life went on beyond the Palisades, They all bought Cadillacs And left there long ago...

The sun had been up for a couple of hours, Covered the ground with a layer of gold. Spirits were high and the raining had stopped, The larder was low, But boy that wasn't all. Eleventh Earl of Mar Couldn't get them very far. Daddy! Oh Daddy, You Promised.

Stood still on a highway, I saw a woman, by the side of the road, with a face that I knew like my own...

Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play. We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day Won't you stay? Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you're still dry, The outlook's fine though Wales might have some rain, Saved again.

I hold you, I touch you, In a maze can't find my way, I think you, I drink you, I'm being served you on a tray, You see girl, That's what I go through every day, Is this the way it should feel?
