I AM STILL THE SAME(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

Can't move my fingers,Can't move my toes,But at least some feeling lingersAnd I hope somebody knowsThat I've never been alone,I've never been alone for so long.

I can still see youBut you can't really see me.I'd like to be youBut you wouldn't like to be me,

And I hope somebody knowsI've never been alone for so long.

I am still the same, I am still the same. Do I have to spell it outWhen I can barely spell my name?

You might remember,You knew me well.I might not look the same,But my name should ring a bell.And I hope somebody knowsI've never been alone for so long.

I was locked out,And now I'm locked in.I can't live without youBut I can't live within.

I've been neglected, I've been rejected.When they passed round the hatNothing was collected.

BIRTHDAY PRESENT(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

It's your birthday,Happy birthday,I hope you have a good one.When you came hereOn your first dayYou felt the breath of someone.

When the sun shines down, And the rain falls down,You will grow up strong and high.They are good for you,

They were made for you, Like a present from the sky.

On your birthday please rememberAll the good things that you have done.On your worst day you'll forget themAnd you'll think of all the bad ones.

Tried to buy something to suit your tasteBut didn't quite know how.Birthday past and birthday future,Here's your birthday present now.

PEACE AND LOVE(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

There's gonna be peace and love in this world someday,As soon as each nation makes what it consumes,As soon as our housemates learn to tidy their rooms.

There's gonna be peace and love in this world someday,When everybody knows what's going through my head,And everybody knows that I didn't mean what I said.

When all of our women and menStop hurting each other,

And the child at home can trust

His(her) father and his(her) mother.

There's gonna be peace and love in this world someday,As soon as our footballers learn to hold their tongues,As soon as we learn how to make right from two wrongs.

There's gonna be peace and love in this world someday,As soon as you all understand my point of view,And I don't mind somebody telling me what to do.

Peace and love from me,Peace and love to you,Peace and love to everyone,Someday it might come true.

THE FIRST TIME(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

The first time I touched your feetYou taught me how to walk.The first time I kissed your lipsYou taught me how to talk.

The last time I felt aloneYou knocked upon my door.The next time I need a rest

I'll sleep upon your floor.

The first time I felt your breath

You taught me how to breathe.And when I looked into your eyesYou taught me how to see.

WAY WITH WORDS(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

You've got a way with words,You always put me down with so much style.A way with words,I can't compete with you or Oscar Wilde - oh no.You've got a way with words,Samuel Johnson's got nothing on you.A way with words,A lie from you can come out ringing true - oh no, oh no.

I can never win, I can never win,Cause if you miss me with your bullet

You hit me with your gun!

You got away with it,You started it and kept it going on.A way with words,Someone has to lose when you have won - oh no.You've got a way with words,Too much talk and not enough thought.The last word goes to you - oh no, oh no.

MEET THE AUTHOR(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

I've read the book, I've seen the movie,I've even bought the magazine.I've read the book, I've seen the movie,I've even bought the magazine.

But I still don't know what's going on, I still don't know what's going on.What I'd really like to do is meet the author.

I've interacted, I've stayed at home,I've traveled down the highway too.

I've interacted, I've stayed at home,I've traveled down the highway too.

I sing the songs, I know the stars,But I somehow seem to lose the plot.I sing the songs, I know the stars,But I somehow seem to lose the plot.

A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

Is it all right if I take just a minute of your time?It won't take all night, I'll be out of your sight,We're not committing a crime.Sixty seconds is all I want, it's all I need.A hundred and twenty is better,You're old enough to know.

You don't know me, I picked your number from a list.It won't cost you a thing, there's nothing to bring.You're never going to be missed.Forty days is all I want, it's all I need.

Seventy years is better, you're old enough to know.

Everything I give you Is something that you want. Everything you take from meYou're wearing back to front.

Just don't move, and let me get under your skin.You won't feel any pain, just give me your brain,You won't feel the knife go in.Part of you is all I want, it's all I need.Just give me an inch and I'll take six feet,You're old enough to go.

IN A THOUSAND YEARS(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

I hope I manage to rememberWhen or how I lost my wayWhen I sat down to write that stupid song,I don't know what I was trying to say.

Cause I seem to glorifyThings that you and I Could never justify in a thousand years.

I was a young man when I wrote it,And I still don't mind the stupid song.

But it would be a stupid boy, or a stupid girl,Who didn't try to know what's right and what is wrong.

You thought hate was just a legend.You were looking for a love and I know why.Cause the only way to know if the money in your hand is counterfeitIs to know what the real thing looks like if you see it passing by.

And you'll always pay the priceIf your only sacrifice is not your own.

And I hope it's clear what I'm trying to say,Just don't live your life by what is on the radio.And I know that it's only a stupid rock and roll song,But we try to teach our children the way that they should go.


13/20



NOBODY TAUGHT ME(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

Nobody taught me to do wrong,Nobody taught me to tell lies.I taught myself,It was easy,Nothing could be easier.

Nobody taught me to get mad,Nobody taught me to be proud.I taught myself,I'm so clever,Who's a clever boy?

I'm the original sinner, I think I could stop at any time. I'm the original sinner, I haven't committed any crime.

Nobody taught me to do wrong,Nobody taught me to tell lies.I taught myself,It was easy,Nothing could be easier.

WE FELL(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

We fell, we fell into the,We fell into the habit of being,We fell, we fell into the,We fell into the habit of being,Home when things were going down.

We flew, we flew into the,We flew into the heat of the sunrise,We flew, we flew into the,We flew into the heat of the sunrise,Warm when things were getting cold.

I can hardly understand When people walk away.

I'm pretty undemanding But I really wish they'd stay.

We fell, we fell into the,We fell into the habit of being,We fell, we fell into the,We fell into the habit of being,Home when things were going down.

I can hardly comprehend Why people close their eyes.

I try to keep my big mouth shut'Cause I hate to criticize.

TOM IS EVERYBODY'S FRIEND (Words & Music DC Cardwell)

The way he looks at you sideways,The T-shirt's white and what's that writing on the wall?He's always welcome here in my place,If he rings the bell I'll let him in the hall.

Tom is everybody's friend,Tom is everybody's friend,Tom is everybody's friend,

Round here.

He likes to read and he likes music,

He's fond of dancing and finding food that's new,He's into sport and he loves culture,In fact he's just like me and even more like you.

You know that you're invading my spaceYou know that I'm invading yours'Cause we're the space invaders babyIt's better that than waging wars

UNRECORDED(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

The unrecorded lifeIs not worth living,Its not worth dying for.The unrecorded lifeIs not worth living,Its not worth dying for.

And when you watch it,You watch it, you watch it.

And when you watch it,Where in the world

Do you find all the time?

The unrecorded lifeIs not worth living,Is not worth dying for.Your own disordered lifeAnd all your givingThere's no-one crying for.

THE QUIET AGES(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

The leaves are falling from the trees,And we are climbing to our knees,But the man with the hat doesn't care for all that,Cause he knows what they like,And they like what they know.

The days are short and the nights are long,And I keep hearing this new song.And they've learned it by heart but it's not on the chart,Cause they know what they like,And they like what they know.

The quiet ages have begun,They've torn out pages by the ton,The battle rages in the sun.They'll get their wages when it's done.With all the stages set on stun,

And girls in cages just for fun.With all the sages on the run,The quiet ages have begun,The quiet ages have begun.

The snow is falling on the ground.I hear the notes have all been drowned.The jukebox plays without a sound,And the deafness is profound.But the man with the plan instituted the banCause he knows what he hates and he hates what he can.

THE WAY OF A WOMAN WITH A MAN(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

There's one thing that I just don't get,Two things that I can't comprehend,Three things have got me out of my head,And four things I'll never understand.

The way of an eagle in the sky,The way of a snake on the land,The way of a ship on the wide wide sea,

And the way of a woman with a man.

One time I looked in her eyes,

Two times she took me by the hand,Three times I thought I was wise,But all the time I can never understand.


19/20



KNOW ME(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

I don't want you to cling to me.I don't want you to sing to me.I don't care what you bring for me.Don't do anything for me.

You don't have to be nice to me,And don't sacrifice to me.Don't do it twice for me.Once will suffice for me.

I-hi-hi, I just want you to know me.

I don't want you to buy me stuff.I don't want you to try to be tough.You don't need to double bluff,And don't think you don't cry enough.

You don't have to cook for me.Don't write a book for me.Don't give back what you took from me.You just have to look for me.

Why don't you come with me,I don't want to leave you behind,Leave you behind, leave you behind.

You don't have to plead for me.You don't have to bleed for me.You don't need to succeed for me.There's nothing that you need for me.

I don't want to annoy you.I don't want to employ you.I'm not going to destroy you.I just want to enjoy you.

SOMETHING WORTH VOTING FOR(Words & Music DC Cardwell)

I don't care if you're female or you're male,I don't care if you're dark or you're pale,I don't care if you never did inhale.

I don't care about the kind of clothes you wear,I don't care if you've still got your own hair,I don't care if you're hip or if you're square.

Just give me something, Just give me something,Worth voting for.

Just give me something, Just give me something,Worth voting for.(And maybe Ill vote for you!)

I don't care about your trouble or your strife,I don't care about your husband or your wife,I don't care about the scandals in your life.

I don't care if you are healthy or you're not,I don't care how much wealth you've really got,I don't care if your campaign cost a lot.

I dont care if you've got things to confess,I dont care if you gave a good address,I dont care if you're the darling of the press.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
