MEMORY LAIN, HUGH
Words and Music
by Pye Hastings

If you get on the road that takes you back
There's a lot of things you ought to know
You're going where I want to be
If you get on the road you've got to take me

Can you see I don't care
For all those things and fancy strings
I just want a chance to try
And find me

I stopped having dreams some time ago
So now it seems I have to show
If there's a chance I've got to find me
Somewhere there's someone who can see

A broken-winged dove
Is all he has to show for love
Oh please help me please
To find me

HEADLOSS
Words and Music
by Pye Hastings

Has anybody seen I've got me a dream
Gonna be happy, yeah
Never knew that light could seem so bright
Couldn't you tell me, no ?

Imagine me today
Thought they'd come to take me away, me away
After all you choose, you've got win or lose
Whether to find me

I've got my pipe and I've got my song
And I've got love to keep me happy
It's no surprise I've got bleary eyes
But it's all that I have and it's all that I want

Many years ago, I thought whenever it shows
Gonna be ready, yeah
Suddenly within my head beginnin' to spin
Gave it upon me, yeah

Had to be that way
At least that's what they taught me to say, me to say
If ever I get out, I'm gonna be makin' a shout
Gonna be happy

I've got my dope and I've got my comb
I'll be far gone, come tomorrow
The moon comes out, I'll try to stare him out
And I'll dance to the light if it's chasing me home

I've got my pipe and I've got my song
And I've got love to keep me happy
It's no surprise I've got bleary eyes
But it's all that I have and it's all that I want

HOEDOWN
Words and Music
by Pye Hastings

Got a gig I'd like you to know, we're leaving here tonight
We're going just to sing our song and everything's all right
And we'll be missing you but that's for me to care
Gotta go, better tell you now, 'cause something's in the air
Don't care if I do it or die, that don't mean a thing
Yes indeed that's all we need - so everybody, sing!

Count it out, but into yourself, love that's the thing
It's there just if you don't know, it makes your body sing
I'm talkin' about me, myself, and all the world around
Wanna see you take you by the hand and do some mess around
Don't have to know, don't have to know, lovin' takes you back
Gets about and I wanna shout, so everybody sing!

We'll get you, we'll get you everyday
Get you, we'll get you every way
Get you, when night-time comes along
Get you, we'll get you with our song

SURPRISE, SURPRISE
Words and Music
by Pye Hastings

After all this time it's got no better
And the words just seem to pass me by
So I think of you in the morning
Singing a song to fill my eyes

Here I go
Can you sing along?

Stopped to say hello
Something overcame me
Didn't want to go and pass you by
Looked at me so fair
Saw the sun upon you
Blow and slip through your hands

Summer stole away
All the breath within me
Leavin' me gaspin' for some air
Have so much to say
Hardly seem to matter
You were more than some one day

Didn't we believe we were so?
Didn't we believe we were something?
Didn't we believe we were more?
So much more than words can say
Suddenly sunshine, sudden love

When the years are gone
And we live on memories
Will you still remember me that way?
Like I do you too
No matter where I could be
Something's going to steal away

Didn't we believe we were so?
Didn't we believe we were something?
Didn't we believe we were more?
So much more than I don't know
Suddenly sunshine, sudden love

Didn't want to go
Didn't want to leave you
Something pulling me back hurt me so
Wakin' up I found feet upon the pillow
Head and shoulders on the ground

C'THLU THLU
Words and Music
by Pye Hastings

From the forest down below
Came a voice that cried "no"
Something seemed nearly dead
Making me feel so cold
Even the trees seemed to fear
There was something unreal
Couldn't see very far
And the sky had gone dark

So we ran, yeah, as fast as we can
Only thought to get away
On and on we didn't know where we'd gone
If it was night or day
"Come back", I can hear a voice call
I can feel it pulling me down
In my head it felt like something had said
You better slow down
But I tried so hard not to make a sound
Feeling better I turned round
And coming up behind me I could see...

Like shadows in the trees
They came creeping unknown
Keeping close through the ground
I can feel them tramp on
Saw the music they knew
We were somewhere close by
They began to crowd us in
Sinkin' deeper in pain

THE DOG, THE DOG, HE'S AT IT AGAIN
Words and Music
by Pye Hastings

Lo-o-o-nely girl, would you like a sweet to eat?
I've got something that I'd like you to hold
And my brother will tell you that it's good for your cold
So, there, surely there is nothing wrong
Take my hand and we'll try to make a stand
For all censorship, decency, all night long

You're naive if you really do believe
That the world is so full of sin
Never look back on the things that you lack
When you're in
My mother said that I should stay out of bed
But I know that I like it in there
Legs and thighs, hellos and goodbyes
It's all there

Oh my oh

(Suck a sugar, dandy, rock'n'roll
Lick a-licking lozenge cures the soul)

Here is my cure for colds
And here is my cure for measles
When you've tried those
If you've invented your toes
Well you're surely in luck, you'll get a stunning good show
So if you come with me
We'll try to clean the inside out
This filthy old world is such a beautiful girl
And you must have a sweet
I'm sure it's good for your feet

You're naive if you really do believe
That the world is so full of sin
Never look back on the things that you lack
When you're in
My mother said that I should stay out of bed
But I know that I like it in there
Legs and thighs, hellos and goodbyes
It's all there

Oh, medicine gone
It's coming on strong
It's coming on and on and on and on

BE ALL RIGHT
Words and Music
by Pye Hastings

Think of the days, in so many ways we used to talk
And how we would love to sing
Would you think twice of all the things nice your memory holds
And that's what your love could bring
But it's all right now, it's all right now

Don't think of me as something to see
I only have sunshine and love to bring

Somehow I feel there's something unreal
About the way money means everything
That'll be the fall of all of the worlds you love
Mummy, I said that thing
But it's all right now, be all right now

Don't think of me as something to see
I only have sunshine and love to bring

Think of the days in so many ways we used to talk
And how we would love to sing
Would you think of twice of all the things nice your memory holds
And that's what your love could bring
But it's all right now, it's all right now

CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
Words and Music
by Pye Hastings

Think on the sunshine
Don't throw away
Chance of a lifetime to come
In a world that's not grey
You'll see there's diamonds in the skies
And a rainbow 'round your shoulder for all time
Think on the sunshine in your mind

Time has no meaning
There's a year in a day
And all the people you see
Will smile if you stay
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you
Worry and you'd all be in there trying too
See, there's no love lost in your mind

Look for the sunrise
It will shine upon you
It's always there in your mind
I'm searching there too
Don't live the life they want you to
Figure your own and then go see it through
Mind it's your mind, it's your mind
