Sgt. Peppe

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free

She (we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living along (bye, bye)
For so many years

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy, our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?

She (we never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living along (bye, bye)
For so many years

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade

She (what did we do that was wrong?)
Is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)

Something inside that was always denied (bye, bye)
For so many years

She's leaving home
Bye, bye

We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late
When they pass away

We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it to try our best to hold it there
With our love, with our love we could save the world
If they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you

We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see
Are you one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you

It's getting better all the time

I used to get mad at my school (no I can't complain)
The teachers that taught me weren't cool (no I can't complain)
You're holding me down (aah)
Turning me round (ooh)
Filling me up with your rules (full, full)

I've got to admit it's getting better (better)
A little better all the time (it can't get no worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better since you've been mine

Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word I finally heard
Me doing the best that I can

I've got to admit it's getting better (better)
A little better all the time (it can't get no worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time (better, better, better)
It's getting better all the time (better, better, better)

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can

I admit it's getting better (better)
A little better all the time (it can't get no worse)
Yes I admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time (better, better, better)
It's getting better all the time (better, better, better)
Getting so much better all the time

Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in
nothing to say but what a day how's your
boy been
nothing to do its up to you
I've got nothing to say but it's O.K.

good morning good morning...

Going to work don't want to go feeling
low down
heading for home you start to roam then you're
in town
everybody knows there's nothing doing
everything is cloes it's like a ruin
everyone you see is half asleep
and you're on your own you're in the street

good morning good morning...

after a while you start to smile now you feel cool
then you decide to take a walk by the
old school
nothing had changed it's still the same
I"ve got nothing to say but it's O.K.

good morning good morning...

People running around it's five o' clock
everywhere in town is getting dark
everyone you see is full of life
it's time for tea and meet the wife
somebody needs to know the time
glad that I"m here

watching the skirts you start to flirt
now your in gear
go to a show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say but it's O.k.

good morning good morning...

It was twenty years ago today
That Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
We hope you will enjoy the show
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sit back and let the evening go

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
It's wonderful to be here
It's certainly a thrill
You're such a lovely audience
We'd like to take you home with us
We'd love to take you home

I don't really want to stop the show
But I thought you might like to know
That the singer's going to sing a song
And he wants you all to sing along
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair - what a scene

Over men and horses, hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!

The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring - don't be late

Messrs. K. and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!

The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground

Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill
