1. _ Solo
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
Used to see him hanging around everywhere
In a world of his own
See him hanging round street corners
Where we would meet
He was a lonely kid
Now they tell us that he's moved on
Ain't been seen for so long don't know where he's gone...
It's been so long, but i'm on the road and
Though it ain't been easy
At least i made it on my own
My tongue's been tied for far too long
And now you're gonna hear me
At least i know where i belong...
S.o.l.o. i'm on the road
S.o.l.o. i'm on my own
Y'see everybody's got someone
To lay their troubled lives upon
I'm really glad i've only got my own...
Once upon a time, well i had lots of friends
I moved freely through their lives
But two's a couple and, well three's a crowd
I was just left out
Hanging around
I've had as much now as i can take
There ain't no need to stay...
S.o.l.o. i'm on the road
S.o.l.o. i'm all alone
And everybody smiles
As i go walking by
But i 'm really glad i've only got my own...

2. _ Long Tall Glasses
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
I was travellin' down the road, feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin' food and drinks for everyone
So naturally i thought i would take me a look inside
I saw so much food, there was water comin' from my eye
Yeah there was ham an' there was turkey, there was caviar
An' long tall glasses, with wine up to yar
An' then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chair
Said before you can eat, you gotta dance like fred astaire
You know i can't dance, you know i can't dance
You know i can't dance, you know i can't dance
I can't dance
I am a man of the road -- a hobo by name
I don't seek entertainment, just poultry and game
But if it's all the same to you, then yes i will try my hand
If you were as hungry as me then i'm sure you would understand
Hmmm
Now wait a minute
Let me see now
Of course i can dance of course i can dance
I'm sure i can dance, i'm sure i can dance..
I can dance
I can dance
I really hit the floor
Ah feels good
Look at me dancin'
I did a two-step, quick-step and a bossa nova
A little victor silvester, and a rudy valentino
You should a seen me movin', right across the floor
Hand me down my tuxedo, next week i'm comin' back for more
I can dance -- oh yes! i can dance
Look at me dancin' the floor movin'
I feel good -- i can dance
I can dance, i can dance, i can dance.

3. _ Telepath
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
I'm leaving the smog below me now
I'm leaving my troubles on the ground
I'm watching those smokestacks just blaze away
The sky will be blue never grey
The future is filled with wasted time
I can't see the road -- i'm going blind
I'm laughing at all of my future plans
Shining like gold in my hands
Isn't it funny how you reach me
You know exactly what i'm thinking
You're always helping me from sinking
It's your way
Hello, this is london calling -- is my flight due
Hello, is there someway i can reach you
Isn't it funny how you call me
You call me up while i am sleeping
You're always helping me from sinking -- it's your way
Now this is the end of all my dreams
The drumming has stopped behind my ears
There's no looking back now -- i'm too far away
I'm shaking like mad in a daze. . .
Then out of the night you join me here
The people around me, they disappear
And i hear your voice, and you speak to my eyes
And everything comes alive

4. _ Train
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
Running through my life
Like a river, like a song
Train keeps pushing me
Right back to the place where i belong...
Back along the tracks
Fly a million years
Right across my path
Train moves on ringing in my ears...
Come on board
Come on board
Train, oh train, take me back, again
I remember, i remember, take me back
Train, oh train, the journey ends and starts again
I remember, i remember, i remember
I've been up all night trying to get this down
Now i'm hallucinating
Staring at the wall look what i'm creating...
Look at the clock i'm twelve hours old
So many more remain
Way up ahead i know i see a train...
Come on board
Come on board
Train, oh train, all those memories, all over again
I remember, i remember, take me back
Train, oh train, the journey ends and starts again
I remember, i remember, i remember
Waited on the station all day
Just to see a glimpse of the morning train
Just to see the wheels turning round
Blowing up steam,
See what i mean,
You see what i mean...

5. _ In My Life
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
Seen a lot of good times in my life
Times when everything went so right
Seen a lot of things go wrong and i just don't know why
I've seen a lot of good times m my life
Had a bit of sadness in my life
Friend of mine went down the other night
Tried to sort it out but now i just don't know why
I've had a bit of sadness in my life
You see i am a lonely, lonely, man
And what i got, i got together with my own two hands
And i wonder what am i gonna do to put things right
I've seen a lot of good times in my life
I've taken lots of chances in my life
Now one of them has changed me overnight
I've seen a glimpse of the other side
The lights are much too bright
I've taken lots of chances with my life
I gotta do something with my life
Gotta make a change and put up a fight
Stand on my own two feet and do it right
I gotta do something with my life

6. _ Giving It All Away
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
I paid all my dues so i picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
Oh, i was just a boy
Nobody else to blame...
I've worked hard and failed
Now all i can say is
I threw it all away
Oh, i was just a boy
Giving it all away...
Sail away, sail away,
Ooh, i know better now, i know better now
Giving it all away
Ooh, i know better now, i know better now
I've given it all away...
Went out in the world -- too much for my nerves
Only myself to blame
Oh, i was just a boy
Nobody else to blame...
I've done all i can, now it's out of my hands
Stand on my head and say
Oh, i was just a boy
Giving it all away...

7. _ One Man Band
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
Well everybody knows down ladbrook grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Take up your guitar and play
But then the law man comes says move along
So you move along all day
Well i'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
For three days now i haven't eaten at all
My my you must be getting so thin
And soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half a crown in
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
Well i can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well i'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
And oh oh oh look at the rain falling
Oh oh oh look at it rain
Oh look at it rain
Well nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him coming
Nobody see him go
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
Well i can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well i'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
Well i'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
Oh i'm a one man band
Just a one man band
Oh i'm a one man band

8. _ When I Came Home This Morning
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
When i came home this morning
I got your letter and what it said
I didn't understand
You told me it was over -- au revoir -- see you again sometime
I didn't understand
And overleaf you tell me that you love me...
Meet me on the corner
The usual time -- the usual place
I will be there
Meet me on the corner
I'll see you coming -- then i'll be sure
Sure you'll be there
Oh and i wanna tell you that i love you...
I see your face -- i see the night
I love you -- i love you
And deep in my sleep i see your eyes
I love you -- i love you
I stood on the corner
All the cars went sweeping by
Did somebody call me -- no there was no one there
Well i'll go on waiting -- perhaps tomorrow
Another day -- i will be there
Oh and i wanna tell you that i love you...

9. _ Another Time
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
Another time, love
You know i can't quite recognise your face, love
Although i feel i know you from someplace, love
Another time, love -- but not now
Another face, love
I'm sure i know the voice, but not the face, love
I know you think i know you but then you're wrong, love
I don't know, love, who i am
Y'see i'm lost...
And i don't know who i am
Another town, love
Tomorrow night i play another town, love
The show keeps rolling on and so it goes, love
I don't know, love where i'm bound
I must be going now
I'm sorry i'm unsure
I must be going now
Maybe we'll meet again
Another time, love -- another town -- another place
Y'see i'm lost
And i don't know who i am

10. _ The Bells Of St. Marys
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
He used to play mouth organ
In a folk club they called the lady jane
All the sounds as his friends and he would holler
Songs of love and songs of pain
There wasn't much that he could use his time for
So he used to practice everyday
And play the mouth organ the blues and hard luck
Someday soon i'm gonna break away
He used to listen to the bells of st marys
As they would echo through those early days
And sometimes even now he thinks that he still hears them
Although they're but a thousand miles away
And so he came into this crazy business
And do you know the stars all fell his way
And he became another rock and roll troubador
And threw the mouth organ far away
And so he listens to the bells of st marys
And so their echo haunts him every day
So clear that he could reach out and touch them
Although they're but a thousand miles away
Although they're but a thousand miles away
