1. Black Swampy Water

Oh yeah

Uh back in the wood

Where it's good

And the days are yellow

Well I saw me a child

She was wild

Like a lady going all out

 

Dark as the night

She was ripe

For a little conversation

So I pulled her right in

And she said

She had some imagination

 

Black swampy water

That's where I caught her

Black swampy water

Black swampy water

 

We didn't speak

For a week

Got tangled up in her hair

So we lay in the grass

What a gas

You can't know that you were there

 

So then I let it all go

And the show

Was like blowing up a freight train

And round the world I would go

Like jumping on a jet plane

 

Black swampy water

That's where I caught her

Black swampy water

Uh, what I taught her, yeah

 

Oh, back in the wood

Where it's good

And the days are yellow

Gotta saw me a child

She was wild

Like a lady going all out

 

I've been

Black swampy water

All right

That's where I caught her, oh

Black swampy water

Oh all the things that I taught her

Yes, again

 

Black swampy water, my my

Where I saw here, oh

Black swampy water

What I did when I caught her, oh yeah yeah

 

2. Prentice Wood

Watching all the flowers grow

Soon they'll be around

I love to watch the English countryside

Watch the bird with purple wings

Doesn't make a sound

He's waiting for the wind to take a ride

 

Ain't it looking fine

I wish that it were mine

Oh, feels good

Oh, feels good

In Prentice Wood, yeah

 

Ah

Men are coming out to play

Hit the ball around

Jump the net and change the sides again, yeah

Feeling foolish splash your name

Look what we've found

Don't you even use another friend

 

Ain't it looking fine

I wish that it were mine

Oh, feels good

Oh, feels good

 

Come with me lady, give us a smile

Try to believe that it's real

 

Watching all the flowers grow

Soon you'll be around

Feeling all the magic in the air

Seems the sun is only mine

Never going down

Love is in the wind it's everywhere

Ain't it lookin fine

Open up the wine

Oh, feels good

Oh, feels good

In Prentice Wood

Yeah

Oh

 

3. When She Smiles

Well ain't she lovely

Whe she's blue

And ain't she lovely

Looking at you

 

And I'm not one for speaking out loud

But you can't miss her face in a crowd

When she smiles

When she smiles, yeah

 

She makes me happy

When she's high

She'd even make you happy

Just waving bye-bye

 

And like some things way up in the air

She's got more than seems to be there

When she smiles

When she smiles, yeah

 

Well, hey you with your head in the noose

Look like you swallowed your shoes

Don't be called a fool

Ain't you really cool

Won't you even give it a try

My, my, my

When she's waving bye-bye

Makes you feel good

Everytime I see I'm high

Hey, my my

 

4. Good Time Music

Are there hard days ahead

Should we put it away

For a rainy day

Is my moon out tonight

Should I wake up today

I think I've just gotta say

 

Life's too complicated

To do much more creating

Waiting for the man to take us down

And you can't have no money

The cloudy days aren't sunny

And all the women that you know

Look just like men

Ah but it's smiling time again

And everybody wins

Good time music Is coming back today

 

Will the sun shine today

Should we keep it alive

Or lock it all up inside

Can we all find a way

To be happy again

When's it all gonna end

 

Life's too complicated

To do much more creating

Waiting for the man to take us down

And you can't have no money

The cloudy days aren't sunny

And all the women that you know

Look just like me

Ah but it's smiling time again

And everybody wins

'Cause good time music is coming back

'Cause good time music is coming back

'Cause good time music is coming back today

 

Oh

Good time music's coming back

Good time music's getting back

Good time music's coming back to stay

Anytime of day

See her on her way

Straight down Liberty Road

Slinky like a cat

Trying to catch a rat

Love the way it feels

Just plain watching her move

Could you let her go

Stop the river flow

6. Shotgun Boogie

Someone in the front of the shop needed a bar

Heard the boogie-woogie from the back of the car

Rooting, tooting, shooting by the man with the horn

Wailing since the day he was born

 

To get me on the scheme you gotta keep me alive

Jitter-bugging baby doing nothing but jive

Padded in the shoulders but your front is all wrong

You got me coming can you keep it on going

 

I wanna reach you baby

Got to put the phone down

And let it ring in my ear

Maybe in the morning

We can see if something's dawning

Am I making myself very clear

 

Oh, hands come alive

Move from side to side

Hands come alive

Shotgun boogie make it low down

All right, oh yeah

All right, oh yeah

Ooh, ooh, baby

 

Oh, hands come alive

Move from side to side

Hands come alive

Do that boogie jive

 

Oh, hands come alive

Move from side to side

Hands come alive

7. Wonderworld

Touch me, I feel

Take me, I'm real

Sail away, into the sun

I'm everyone

 

Wake me, I dream

I'm what I seem

Drift away, into the night

I'm the light

 

I am the sky

Help you to fly

Catch your wind

It's love I bring

I'm everything

 

I am the sea

Always to be

Drift away, into the night

I'm the light

I'm a fire

Burning higher

Trying to burn the sun

But don't you know

The rules just won't apply

Who am I

 

Wake me, I dream

Now I'm what I seem

So sail away, into the sun

'Cause I'm everyone, yeah

 

Touch me, I feel

Take me, I'm real

Drift away, into the night
