 Sail Away » The lyrics [+ Bæta við +] |
1. _ Lonely At The Top
I've been around the world
Had my pick of any girl
You'd think i'd be happy
But i'm not
Ev'rybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game
Oh, it's lonely at the top
Listen to the band, they're playing just for me
Listen to the people paying just for me
All the applause-all the parades
And all the money i have made
Oh, it's lonely at the top
Listen all you fools out there
Go on and love me-i don't care
Oh, it's lonely at the top
Oh, it's lonely at the top

2. _ Sail Away
In america you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an american
Ain't no lions or tigers-ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog-sail away with me
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into charleston bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into charleston bay
In america every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an american
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into charleston bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into charleston bay

3. _ Old Man
Everyone has gone away
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
No one cared enough to stay
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
You must remember the old man
I know that you can if you try
So just open up your eyes, old man
Look who's come to say goodbye
The sun has left the sky, old man
The birds have flown away
And no one came to cry, old man
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
You want to stay, i know you do
But it ain't no use to try
'cause i'll be here-and i'm just like you
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
Won't be no god to comfort you
You taught me not to believe that lie
You don't need anybody
Nobody needs you
Don't cry, old man, don't cry
Everybody dies

4. _ Burn On
There's a red moon rising
On the cuyahoga river
Rolling into cleveland to the lake
There's a red moon rising
On the cuyahoga river
Rolling into cleveland to the lake
There's an oil barge winding
Down the cuyahoga river
Rolling into cleveland to the lake
There's an oil barge winding
Down the cuyahoga river
Rolling into cleveland to the lake
Cleveland, city of light, city of magic
Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me
Cleveland, even now i can remember
'cause the cuyahoga river
Goes smokin' through my dreams
Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
Now the lord can make you tumble
And the lord can make you turn
And the lord can make you overflow
But the lord can't make you burn
Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on

5. _ Dayton, Ohio - 1903
Sing a song of long ago
When things were green and movin' slow
And people'd stop to say hello
Or they'd say "hi" to you
"would you like to come over for tea
With the missus and me?"
It's a real nice way
To spend the day
In dayton, ohio
On a lazy sunday afternoon in 1903
Sing a song of long ago
When things could grow
And days flowed quietly
The air was clean and you could see
And folks were nice to you
"would you like to come over for tea
With the missus and me?"
It's a real nice way
To spend the day
In dayton, ohio
On a lazy sunday afternoon in 1903

6. _ Political Science
No one likes us-i don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens
We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them
Asia's crowded and europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And canada's too cold
And south america stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us
We'll save australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an all american amusement park there
They got surfin', too
Boom goes london and boom paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another american town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a japanese kimono
And there'll be italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

8. _ He Gives Us All His Love
He gives us all his love
He gives us all his love
He's smiling down on us
From up above
And he's giving us all his love
He knows how hard we're trying
He hears the babies crying
He sees the old folks dying
And he gives us all his love
Now if you need someone to talk to
You can always talk to him
And if you need someone to lean on
You can lean on him
He give us all his love
He gives us all his love
He's smiling down on us
From up above
And he's giving us all his love
He's smiling down on us
From up above
He gives us all his love

9. _ Simon Smith And The Amazing Dancing Bear
I may go out tomorrow if i can borrow a coat to wear
Oh, i'd step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
Outrageous, alarming, courageous, charming
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be
Seen at the nicest places where well-fed faces all stop to stare
Making the grandest entrance is simon smith and his dancing bear
They'll love us, won't they?
They feed us, don't they?
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be
Who needs money when you're funny?
The big attraction everywhere
Will be simon smith and his dancing bear
It's simon smith and the amazing dancing bear

11. _ Last Night I Had A Dream
Last night i had a dream
You were in it, i was in it with you
Everyone that i knew
And everyone that you know was in my dream
I saw a vampire
I saw a ghost
Everybody scared me but you sacred me the most
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
In my dream
It started out in a barnyard at sundown
And everyone was laughing and you were lying on the ground
You said, "honey, can you tell me what you name is?"
"honey, can you tell me what your name is?"
I said, "you know what my name is."
Last night i had a dream
You were in it, i was in it with you
Everyone that i knew
And everyone that you know was in my dream
I saw a vampire
I saw a ghost
Everybody scared me but you sacred me the most
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
In my dream

13. _ God's Song (that's Why I Love Mankind)
Cain slew abel, seth knew not why
For if the children of israel were to multiply
Why must any of the children die?
So he asked the lord
And the lord said:
Man means nothing, he means less to me
Than the lowliest cactus flower
Or the humblest yucca tree
He chases round this desert
'cause he thinks that's where i'll be
That's why i love mankind
I recoil in horror fro the foulness of thee
From the squalor and the filth and the misery
How we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me
That's why i love mankind
The christians and the jews were having a jamboree
The buddhists and the hindus joined on satellite tv
They picked their four greatest priests
And they began to speak
They said, "lord, a plague is on the world
Lord, no man is free
The temples that we built to you
Have tumbled into the sea
Lord, if you won't take care of us
Won't you please, please let us be?"
And the lord said
And the lord said
I burn down your cities-how blind you must be
I take from you your children and you say how blessed are we
You all must be crazy to put your faith in me
That's why i love mankind
You really need me
That's why i love mankind

14. _ Memo To My Son
What have you done to the mirror?
What have you done to the floor?
Can't i go nowhere without you?
Can't i leave you alone any more?
I know you don't think much of me
But someday you'll understand
Wait'll you learn how to talk, baby
I'll show you how smart i am
A quitter never wins
A winner never quits
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
Maybe you don't know how to walk, baby
Maybe you can't talk none either
Maybe you never will, baby
But i'll always love you
I'll always love you

17. _ You Can Leave Your Hat On
Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, i'll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say that my love is wrong
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
I know what love is
