(chanting)
Movin' on slowly, sittin' forlornly
Looks through her window, clouds hide the sun
She thinks of her love, gone like the wild ones
She knows he'll never return
CHORUS:
Grim reaper of love, grim reaper of love
Grim reaper of love, grim reaper of love
Killing the living & living to kill
Grim reaper of love thrives on pain; people, beware
(instrumental)
Missed her sadness of the loss of his loaning
But in his past thinking, love can't last
We were so happy, peaceful & dear
But now his life's a little miser
(chorus)
Can I Get To Know You Better
(Sloan/Barri)
Everybody says "Be strong" but I just can't take it
Every time I look at you, I feel funny inside, yeah
I've been meaning to ask you this for such a long long time
CHORUS:
Can I get to know you better?
Got to get to know you better
Can I get to know you better tonight?
I know that you think of me as just a friend
But you don't know how friendly I can be, yeah
I want so much to prove my love; baby, give me half a chance
(chorus)
Now I don't think I can go another day without you (Without tou)
One little kiss will tell me what I wanna know 'bout you
It ain't gonna hurt you; come on baby
(repeat chorus & fade)
Perhaps another time or maybe 'nother place
Could've eased my mind, would've never seen your face
Or heard about you
But now you call my name & your reality
Though it's hard to explain, I know I'll never be
Without you
I know nothing about you
But I know I don't doubt your love & I know that it's real
By God above I know I feel about you
Got a handful of gold & a pocketful of dreams
But a heart full of love & I know what it means
To be without you
Just sit by my side & share with me
All the feelings inside & the things you see
About you
I know Miss Lonely will be here today
Waiting for me; now the time is right, so hear me say
The from now on I'll stay about you
(instrumental)
I know Miss Lonely will be here today
Waiting for me; now the time is right, so hear me say
The from now on I'll stay about you
About you, about you, about
Ba da da da da da da
Daytime dreamin', gettin' involved only halfway deeo
Nighttime schemin', seemin' to be like I'm sound asleep
CHORUS:
Sound asleep, spendin' my time on a dream that I'm about to see come
Sound asleep, keepin' my mind on you
Children singing, something for all little yous & mes
Winter springing, summer or fall
Drifting away day by day, farther away (far away)
The better I feel
Ba da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da, da da da da
(chorus)
(horns & scat singing, fading out)
The Story Of Rock 'n' Roll
(Nilsson)
Well, it started out way down south
Took a left & headed on out
It was movin' 'long very slowly
'Cause it was travelin' by word of mouth
Made a short stop in New Orleans
Then it headed for the New York scene
& the people there, they dug on air
'Cause they found out just what it means, yeah to have...
CHORUS:
Rock & roll music, sweet groovy music
Well, it's the only kind of music
That reaches right to your soul
Here come a guitar-pickin' fella
& he took them by the hand
He said "Now, listen to me, everybody
I got a message that you gotta understand"
& then he took that brand-new music
& he let it cross the U.S. of A.
& now some folks laughed when they heard that sound
But it looks like it's here to stay, & they call it rock
(chorus)
Rock & roll music (x3)
Talkin' 'bout rock & roll, I like rock & roll, yeah
Long live rock & roll, yeah, talkin' 'bout rock & roll
Rock & roll, sweet groovy music
...& fade
You Don't Have To Walk In The Rain
(the Turtles)
I looked at your face; is that the face I love?
It's been a long time since I've seen you
You've got a lovely place; the kids must send their love
We stood there lonely, baby, without you
CHORUS:
& girl, you don't have to walk in the rain
'Cause baby, I know things can be just the same as before
When you walk through my door, you'll be home, girl
When you walk through my door, you'll be home
I was so afraid I almost turned away
But you know I need somebody to cling to
I looked at your face; I love you anyway
It's been a long time since I've seen you
(chorus twice, then repeat its 1st line & fade)
Love In The City
(the Turtles)
We walked hand in hand from the patch
Playing in the middle of the city
Down the street we walked westerly
Wind breezin' through her hair pretty
My love in the city is good, so good
When things around me slow down, slow down
I think about my love in the city, in the city
I think about my love
(instrumental, then scat singing)
I know she waits for me nervously
Trying to keep busy in the city
Sleeping in her bed patiently
Waiting for me, come home with love to me
My love in the city is good, so good
When things around me slow down, slow down
I think about my love in the city, in the city
I think about my love in the city, in the city
I think about my love in the city
