The Animals
Dandelion
won’t you bring me back
you’re the one I’m counting on
Dandelion
Keep me on track
Build it up and break it down
Build it up
Who can I turn to?
Must they bear witness?
I’m gonna miss you
Dandelion
in the light of day
Tell me that you’re not afraid
The waves they rise
And break away
Build me up and break me down
Build me up
Now, who can I turn to?
the animals
Must they bear witness?
Ah yes they do
I’m gonna miss you
Who can I turn to?
the animals
Must they bear witness?
Ah yes they do
I’m gonna miss you
Head Held High
Love, life can give a beating
Leave the ribbons on the floor
hear the creak of the wood in your footsteps
And look! there’s light under the door
Warm, to touch, to turn, to open
Speak, a voice so loud and strong
Call out a name, hon,
they’ll be there waiting
Even when the light is gone
Walk with your head held high
Walk with your head held high
Love, dancing days are over
But the happy hours come
You’re lit from within, with a grin, like a savior
Aw hon, what are you on?
Walk with your head held high
See with your eyes, still bright
Feel with your heart, alive
Walk with your head held high
Why
Why would that bring me down?
Why
Why would that bring me down?
Summer Sun
Summer Sun, am I the one?
I’ll take your place and you’ll be inside my mind
We have our ways, follow our reasons
Summer Sun, can we leave ‘em all behind?
That’s what I’m saying
That’s what I’m singing about
My Summer
My Summer Sun
Summer Sun! Let’s have some fun!
A friendly face, in the middle of the crowd
We find our ways, use human reason
But if you need to, just reach out
That’s what I’m saying
That’s what I’m singing about
My Summer
My Summer Sun
Summer Sun, are you the one?
You’ll take my place and I’ll be inside your mind
We have our takes, blame the seasons
But does that ever, ever make it right?
That’s what I’m saying
That’s what I’m singing about
My Summer
My Summer Sun
Like plucking a feather
From a wee little turtle dove
Won’t hurt any longer
Than it should
Like plucking a feather
From a wee little turtle dove
Won’t hurt any longer
Than it should
Proof
I remember the days when we all used to rob houses
houses all night long
And I remember the night when Jimmy ripped his trousers
running from the cops
his blood pooled up and the level started rising
closer to the roof
and after a while Caroline had trouble breathing
if there was anything we discovered that night
it was proof
I remember the night when we tried to channel lightning
something went terribly wrong
he could barely make out all our dumbfound faces
and it didn’t take too long
and I remember when we would stand next to air vents
hearing people talk
and we slowly became accustomed to the secrets
the lies, and the shock
Apple, Where’d You Fall?
Apple, where’d you fall?
From where the grass is green
and grows so thick and tall, I can tell
You let your sweetness stray
Where are you today?
Apple, what do you see?
A dozen bodies dimly writhing ‘round in agony
Waiting for the man to come
Till then my heart’s a drum
Apple, what’s the score?
Can I get there at the Pret, behind the bathroom door?
Just enter and you’ll come undone
Thanks, Apple, you’re the one
Apple, where’d you fall?
From on the windowsill at night I hear your call
but it’s just me and all my thoughts tonight
I hope you’re alright
One Step Away
One step away, to seize the day
put on my headdress and wear the warpaint
Taking my bow before the gun
Have got it all backwards
Got it all wrong
Come a time when things’ll clear up instead
Come a time when things’ll clear in your head
Afternoon, well it comes so soon
Don’t feel any different
Now how about you?
The sunlight slowly fills the room
From floorboard below to the skylight above
Come a time when things’ll clear up instead
Come a time when things’ll clear in your head
You’ve known him before and you will know him again
You’ve felt it before and you will feel it again
Oh me oh my... that’ll be a good day then
Eve-n-ing, and all it brings
from secret and shadow to epiphany
I do believe I’m feeling all three
Come a time when things’ll clear up instead
Come a time when things’ll clear in your head
You’ve known him before and you will know him again
You’ve felt it before and you will feel it again
Oh me oh my... that’ll be a good day then
Up and Up Again
Down by the river
they’re searching through mud
Looking for answers,
or what remains
Send them a pony
Give them some sun
Make their lives better,
you are the one
And if you aren’t
Don’t let ‘em know
Just get on with the show
Out in the cafe
they’re gathering dirt
Looking for answers,
or what remains
Give them their ashes
Give them their fire
Make their lives better
You are the one
And if you aren’t
Don’t let ‘em know
Just get on with the show
What’s that you were saying?
I didn’t hear you, I wasn’t listening
What’s that you were doing?
I wasn’t with you, I have my secrets
“I wanna feel love again”
What’s that you say?
I say I’m happy
On the up and up again
never felt so, felt so lucky
Take One
Take one, oh try one
I promise you’ll like one
Oh there you are, there you are
Two hands, a face, a neck
Down to the last degree
Don’t waste what you’re given
Just do what you got to do
And don’t worry, good things
will come to you soon.
Half for some laughter
A whole to feel whole
Or two to rise above the ground
Might find yourself in outer space
Everything turned upside down
Don’t waste what you’re given
Just do what you got to do
And don’t worry, good things
will come to you soon
All you see is all you get
When you’ve only had a few
Just a little give and take
And you’re shiny, you’re new
Don’t waste what you’re given
Just do what you got to do
And don’t worry good things
will come to you soon
