Something Good

Just wanna know ya
Just wanna talk to ya
I wanna hear about your day
I'd never leave ya
Never be mean to ya
I'd always let you get your way

Something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing's gonna happen today

If I were honest I 'd tell you everything
But it keeps coming out as lies
It's not a promise
In case you're wondering
It's not some blessing in disguise

But something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing's gonna happen today
Something good will come our way
And maybe this good things gonna happen today

I know romance is not in fashion
And my heart is on the line
If you would be so kind
To help me kill some time

Then something good just might come crashing
From the stars that light the sky
If you would be so kind
To help me kill some time

Just wanna know ya
Just wanna talk to ya
I wanna hear about your day
I'd never leave ya
Never be mean to ya
I'd always let you get your way

Something good will come our way
And maybe this good thing's gonna happen today
Something good will come our way
And maybe this good things gonna happen today

Something good will come our way
Something good will come our way
Something good will come our way
Something good will come our way
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Something good will come our way


Sway

Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you

And here I go, losing my control
I'm practising your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to tell you why
I say it's infintely true

CHORUS:
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

CHORUS TWICE

It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon
It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true

CHORUS TWICE

It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you


Get Some Sleep

From here to,
they're to everywhere
and back to union square when do I get some sleep?

Stranded in dew,
whistling the same old tune
but I do believe I might me having fun,
I believe I might be having fun.

Impecably dressed,
in your second kind of mess,
we were waiting for the taxi to come.
Putting on my daytime eyes a good,
enough disguise
until I get some sleep.

Reading out the horriscopes,
using up our jokes
until we get some sleep,
Stand on the moon;
Find the light of my living groom.

I believe I might be having fun I believe,
I might be having fun.

Shoot into the station,
make a dedication,
this is going out to everyone,
this is going out to everyone;
this is going out to everyone.

Something in the Phasin,
that is quietly amazing
we were waiting for the chorus to come.
this is going out to everyone,
This is going out to everyone

From here to there
to everywhere
and back to union square where do I get some sleep?

Stranded in dew,
whistling the same old tune
but I do believe I might me having fun,
I believe I might be having fun.

Shoot into the station make a dedication
This is going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone,
This is going out to everyone,
This is going out to everyone.
Going out to everyone
This is going out to everyone

The Feelers - Stand Up

It's time to open up the memories of your past
And it's time to move on
It's time to open up the shadows of your heart
And it's time to move on

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a great time to live and it's time to
Stand up and be counted on
'Cause it's a great time to live and it's time to
Stand up and be counted on

It's time to open up and shed a little light
On your soul
'Cause the box you put your heartache in got
Lost or swept out to sea
Now it's time just to move on

[Chorus]

And it's a long long road to carry on I've got to
Stand up and be counted on, It's a long long
Road and I've got to be strong. (x2)

[Chorus]

Yea it's a long long road to carry on I've got to
Stand up and be counted on, It's a long long
Road and I've got to be strong. (x2)
