The First Cut Is The Deepest lyrics - Cat Stevens

I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

I'm Gonna Be King lyrics - Cat Stevens

I've been pushed around
made to look a clown
but now, now I know
it is time for me to start to grow

I'm gonna be king
I'm gonna see things right
I'm gonna be king
and you will be my bride

I'll show everyone
that my time will come
If you wait for me
I will show the world what I can be

I'm gonna be king
I'm gonna see things right
I'm gonna be king
and you will be my bride

Love does funny things
and to me it brings
strength to carry through
and to make my name a pride to use

I'm gonna be king
I'm gonna see things right
I'm gonna be king
and you will be my bride

Ceylon City lyrics - cat stevens

I'm going home to the town where I was born
where little children laughed as they sang
a happy song
in the little town of Ceylon,
Ceylon city, Ceylon city

I've got a boat , I hope it's still afloat
with rusty sails, and an old wooden oar
It goes along, in the little town of Ceylon

Ceylon City.....

My daddy will be waiting there
My sister will be combing down her silver hair
My mamma will be waiting there
serving lunch to my brother, but he's nowhere

Ceylon City....

Blackness Of The Night lyrics - cat Stevens

In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
with a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone and there is no one by my side

In the blackness of the night
I see a shadow passing by
from the heels of an old soldier boy.
There's no comprimising
and his eyes are black as the sky
For this bad, bad world he is going to die.
He's alone and there is no one by his side

In the blackness of the night
I see a sparkle of a star
from the sweet silver tear of a child
and she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago
When her parents were happy she was too young to know
she's alone and there is no one by her side

I'm alone and there is no one by my side

In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
with a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone, and there is no one by my side

Come On Baby (Shift That Log) lyrics - Cat Stevens

Why don't you come over?
It's lonely at the wooden lodge
Why don't you come and see our baby?
You haven't seen her for so long

Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me

There in the back woods
we had our little piece of land
but everything wasn't so groovy
Not when you had to dirty your hands

Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me

It's lonely at the wooden lodge
So why don't you share my bed

Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me

I Love Them All lyrics - cat stevens

While lookin' into my drawer only yesterday
you know, the things that I saw made me cry
I saw the pictures and letters,
I should have known better
than to try to deny

I love them all
I love them all
and if they came again
I'd do the same again
'cause I'm that kind of a guy

And as I walked through the park where we used to play
you know, the bench and the tree are still there
And the pictures that you did,
why am I so stupid?
They wont ever disappear

I love them all
I love them all
and if they came again
I'd do the same again
'cause I'm that kind of a guy

Image Of Hell lyrics - Cat Stevens

You left me wearing nothing but a shell
You left me wearing nothing but a shell
This feeling you've left me,
is the image of hell

I thought that you loved me
Ah, but then I never could tell
I thought that you loved me
but then I never could tell
This feeling you left me
is the image of hell

If you loved me like you said that you did
Oh, then darling you couldn't have done the things
that you did
You walk by my door, but you don't ring my bell
You walk by my door, but you don't ring my bell
This feeling you've left me, is the image of hell

Lovely City (When Do You Laugh) lyrics - Cat Stevens

Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people, what do you have?

Well, you ride around on a bright shiny cloud
and you think that you've found true happiness
there's no method in your mind
and your tempers are kind
is it too much to ask to give it a rest?

Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people , what do you have?

I'm a part of you, you don't wanna be
I'm an unexpected visitor who's dropped in for tea
but I'm not so low you don't even know that I'm here
You can't even see

Lovely city, when do you laugh?
Stoney people, what do you have?

The View From The Top lyrics - Cat Stevens

The view from the top can be oh so very lonely
and you can be missing such a lot that could be yours

Why can't I stop forgetting myself?
Why am I always trying to be like somebody else
Why can't I love you?
Why bother flying high above you
I know where you are

The view from the top can be oh so very lonely
and you can be missin' such a lot that could be yours

And who's going to miss me?
there'll only be myself to blame
you know I'd love to hold you tight
and love you all the night
but I don't even know ...my name

La la la da la ....

Why can't I stop forgetting myself?
Why am I always trying to be like somebody else?
Why can't I love you?
Why bother flying high above you
I know where you are

The view from the top can be oh so very lonely
and you can be missin' such a lot that could be yours

Here Comes My Wife lyrics - Cat Stevens

Well here comes my wife
and that's the story of my life
she haunts me though she don't want me
She follows badly in disguise
but it's not hard to recognize her 'cause she's cryin'
She looks like dyin' on me

Her father's rich, I think a millionaire
but money doesn't make him better
it just makes him better to be there
So, you can tell him that its quite alright with me
no no, it's quite alright with me

Well here comes my wife
and that's the story of my life
she haunts me though she don't want me
She follows badly in disguise
but it's not hard to recognize her 'cause she's cryin'
she looks like dyin' on me

See that shadow dancin' on the floor
She's coming up behind me
How I'd love to tell her she's a bore,
but I tell her that it's quite alright, no no, it's quite alright with me

Well here comes my wife
and that's the story of my life
she haunts me though she don't want me
She follows badly in disguise
but it's not hard to recognize her 'cause she's cryin'
she looks like dyin' on me.....
oooh oohh

It's A Super (Dupa) Life lyrics - Cat Stevens

See the funny little people running 'round in circles
throwing bombs as they do
See the funny side of it
they're heading straight for you

See the funny little holes they're making
looking like craters on the moon
See the funny side of it
we'll be living in them soon

But it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
yes it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
but it's getting pretty near the end
cause with a super life you will borrow everything you lend
so there's never anything to spend
you're broke, you dope you

See the funny little flying saucers we found
painted up just for you
see the funny man inside
his color matches too

See the silly little camera he loves
shooting pictures with all day
see the funny side of it
his friends are on their way

But it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
yes it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
but it's getting pretty near the end
cause with a super life you will borrow everything you lend
so there's never anything to spend
you're broke, you dope you

Baby it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live
Yes it's a super life, a super dupa dupa life we live

Where Are You lyrics - Cat Stevens

I know I think a lot
but somehow it just doesn't help
it only makes it worse

The more I think
The more I know
the more it hurts

With only solitude to meet me like a friend
oh, where are you?
where are you ? where are you?

Maybe she sits alone
beyond the storm
across the raging torrent of the sea
she knows I want her
and she knows I'll always be...
How can I live without the love I cannot see
Oh where are you?
where are you ?
where are you?

oooooooohhhh

I know there's someone there
I hear her breathe
behind the silence of the dark
but I know that I wont see
'til we open up our eyes together
She'll look at me
What a moment that moment will be!

And she looks so light
I could fly her through the night

oooh

I know I think a lot
but somehow it just doesn't help
it only goes to show
that what you never miss
you never know
but I have loved you from the moment that we knew
oh, I love you
I love you
but where are you?

A Bad Night lyrics - Cat Stevens

Baby, you're cool
And even though you've never been to school
I know you're fine
but then you change your mind
Then you start on driftin'
and fall on behind

You've been my girl
You've been mine
all of the time

A bad night
its gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall

ah, 'cause you left me waiting in the corner
and i know you're never gonna come back for me
and though you said you loved me
and said you needed all of my love
a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad night
its gonna be

A bad night
it's gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall

Maybe if the weather was just a little better
it might not have happened that way
but the situation was gettin' pretty bad, bad
A bad bad bad bad bad night it's gonna be

A bad night
it's gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall
I know I shall

album: "Matthew & Son" (1967)

Matthew & Son lyrics - Cat Stevens

Up at eight, you can't be late
for Matthew & Son, he won't wait.

Watch them run down to platform one
And the eight-thirty train to Matthew & Son.

Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

There's a five minute break and that's all you take,
for a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake.

Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new.
The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through.
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

He's got people who've been working for fifty years
No one asks for more money cuz nobody cares
Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears

Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son, Matthew & Son,
And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

I Love My Dog lyrics - Cat Stevens

I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All he asks from me is the food to give him strength
All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get

So, I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes
I don't need no cold water to make me realize that

I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog, Baby, I love my dog. Na, na, na...
I love my dog, Baby, I love my dog. Na, na, na...

Here Comes My Baby lyrics - Cat Stevens

In the midnight moonlight I'll be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

You never walk alone, and you're forever talking on the phone.
I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

I'm still waiting for your heart, cuz I'm sure that some day it's gonna start.
You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'til then this is all that I can say.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

Bring Another Bottle Baby lyrics - Cat Stevens

Better bring another bottle with you baby
If you really want to party then lets make it swing
Right into the morning.
Better bring another bottle with you baby
Cuz I really want to make this little bell ring.
Ding dong, ding.

I feel cold and I want to get you by my side
I feel bold and I want to show you how this man can ride.

Better bring another bottle with you baby
If you really want to party then lets make it swing
Right into the morning.
Better bring another bottle with you baby
Cuz I really want to make this little bell ring.
Ding dong, ding.

I feel smooth and I really want to live it up
If we groove then I promise you that we won't even stop

Better bring another bottle with you baby
I get the feeling that you want to take off and fly
High, high, well if my ceiling isn't high enough
We'll burn up the sky.

I feel smooth and I really want to live it up
If we groove then I promise you that we won't even stop

Better bring another bottle with you baby
I get the feeling that you want to take off and fly
High, high, well if my ceiling isn't high enough
We'll burn up the sky.

Better bring another bottle with you baby
Better try to bring another bottle now
Better bring another bottle baby
Better bring another bottle with you now.

Portobello Road lyrics - Cat Stevens

Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
Yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger

Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks
Lampshades of old antique leather
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard
Or the boots made out of feathers

I'll keep walking miles 'til I feel
A broom beneath my feet
Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street

Nothing's the same if you see it again
It'll be broken down to litter
Oh, and the clothes everyone knows
That dress will never fit her

Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
Yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger

Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks
Lampshades of old antique leather
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard
Or the boots made out of feathers

I'll keep walking miles 'til I feel
A broom beneath my feet
Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street

Nothing's the same if you see it again
It'll be broken down to litter
Oh, and the clothes everyone knows
That dress will never fit her

Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
Yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger

I've Found A Love lyrics - Cat Stevens

Baby, I've never had a single thing in my life I could call my own.
There you were, holding a love so true,
Now I've got a home, now I've got a home.

I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
I found a love, baby
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
Hidden away from the world, baby

Baby, you really make me feel like a king, a king without a crown.
But darlin', Promise me one little thing: That you won't let me down.

I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
I found a love, baby
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
Hidden away from the world, baby

Don't ever tell me lies baby,
Don't take it for a ride baby,
Just stay here by my side baby,
We won't ever stop.

I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
I found a love, baby
I found a love, hidden in a backstreet
Hidden away from the world, baby

I See A Road lyrics - Cat Stevens

I see a road and I want to go home,
I want to go home, my baby will be waitin' there
With a yellow ribbon in her hair
And I know that she won't disappear cuz she loves me
Too much

I see a road and I want to go home,
I want to go home, my baby will be gettin' old
And I want to make sure she's not cold
Yes, I want to make sure she's not cold cuz I love her
Too much

Where silk music plays out in the country out of the way
We'll make love, yeah, under the blue sky above
And we'll be riding on top of the world

I see a road and I want to go home,
I want to go home, my baby will be waitin' there
With a yellow ribbon in her hair
And I know that she won't disappear cuz she loves me
Too much

I see a road and I want to go home....

Baby Get Your Head Screwed On lyrics - Cat Stevens

Well if you're feelin' low, take it slow

Baby get your head screwed on
I know he's left, but don't be depressed
Baby let your {favorite?} daddy see you through

Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.

You know you're nice, you're sugar and spice
And I know what you're going through
And if you're hot HOT, and even if you're not
Baby let your {favorite?} daddy see you through

Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.

You were so neat, ever so sweet,
And overnight you've seemed to change
Since you kissed your psychiatrist
Baby, you've never been the same.

Well if you're feelin' low, take it slow
Baby get your head screwed on
I know he's left, but don't be depressed
Baby let your {favorite?} daddy see you through

Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.

Granny lyrics - Cat Stevens

You were always were so nice
when it came to problems you knew
i never did think twice about ever coming to you

so granny, what on earth can i do?

'cause this little girl, this little girl, she's a driving me wild

when i was feeling rough
but this one i really doubt
cause this one's really tough

'cause this little girl, this little girl, she's a driving me wild

so, granny, what on earth can i do?
granny, granny, what on earth can i do?

'cause this little girl, this little girl, she's a driving me wild
she's a driving me wild, so wild, so wild, so wild

When I Speak To The Flowers lyrics - Cat Stevens

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.

I know you run around and you'll never settle down
And I should quit while I'm still on top
but when you hold me baby in your lovin' arms
I could love you forever baby, but

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.
They tell me to leave you, just leave you behind
Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.

The Tramp lyrics - Cat Stevens

He sleeps alone in the damp
and rests his head upon a door
the only bed he knows is the floor,

The Tramp

Turned up collar and worn out shoes
he doesn't care 'cause he hasn't got nothing to lose

He sleeps alone in the damp
and rests his head upon a door
the only bed he knows is the floor,

The Tramp

no companion to take him home
his only friends are the kind that just leave him alone
no one knows just how lonely his life has been
in a world that lives in a dream

He sleeps alone in the damp
and rests his head upon a door
the only bed he knows is the floor,

The Tramp

Come On And Dance lyrics - Cat Stevens

I take you out all over town
But you always start sittin' down
You never move, baby whats wrong with me?
When we go dancin' , you're just there like a tree

Baby come on and dance, you're holding me back
I've gotta get out this feeling, before i go mad
You gotta let me in, the music's getting me now
You gotta come on and dance, stop hangin around

I don't care if you twist or jive, just as long as you're lookin' alive
You'll make me glad, baby you'll make me rise,
I wanna see that twinkle in your eyes

Baby come on and dance, you're holding me back
I've gotta get out this feeling, before i go mad
You gotta let me in, the music's getting me now
You gotta come on and dance, stop hangin around

Hummingbird lyrics - Cat Stevens

There's a yellow flower by your bed
Sadly droopin' it's perfumed head
So you won't smell it, I know what you'll miss

And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Oh there's a hummingbird singing.

There is the hat you made, the clothes you wore
Lying down on the cold, dirty floor.
The colors are fading, they'll never shine again.

And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Oh there's a hummingbird singing.

Now the road is turning gray,
There's a shadow where you once lay.
They'll find it tomorrow, and think you went alone.

But there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Ah there's a hummingbird crying.

Lady lyrics - Cat Stevens

I was cold and so alone, but I couldn't help but moan
When the life that I was shown started crumbling
Then this crazy world that I live in, started giving more to me.

Oh, I've never known a lady like yourself,
Oh, I've never known a lady...

I was searching all the world, looking for a girl,
Then a lady made an Earl of this poor boy.
Now this crazy world that I live in, started giving more to me.

Oh, I've never known a lady like yourself,
Oh, I've never known a lady...

Now this crazy world that I live in, started giving more to me.

Oh, I've never known a lady like yourself,
Oh, I've never known a lady...

I've never known a lady...

School Is Out lyrics - Cat Stevens

School is out now we're gonna have some fun.
We're gonna make like we are the only ones.

I'm gonna buy a piece of the sky and sell passing clouds
I'm gonna be a mayor of some small town and tax the crowds
I'm gonna be a local surveyor and study the foreman {guilds?}
I'm gonna line up some of the finest girls that are in the world!

We're coming out of school today and we're so happy to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.

Mmmm....

I'm gonna be a history maker I'll call myself Richard the Third.
I'm gonna buy an amplifier and shout out "Have you heard?"

We're coming out of school today and we're so happy to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.

We're coming out of school today...baby...

I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun lyrics - Cat Stevens

I've been demoralized too many times
But now I realize, Ah ah, no more.
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun

I know my destiny is like the sun
You see the best of me when I have got my gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun

So you think you can push me around
And make me run
Well I'm gonna tell you now
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun

Gonna get me a gun...

Another Saturday Night lyrics - Cat Stevens

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
That's how I'm in the state I'm in

Oh,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliv'rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein

Ooh, la,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town

Oh, no
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Blue Monday lyrics - Cat Stevens

Blue Monday how I hate Blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired got no time to play
Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I get my pay
Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play

Sunday mornin' I'm feelin' bad
But it's worth it for the time that I had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

Don't Be Shy lyrics - Cat Stevens

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by

You know love is better than a song
Love is where all of us belong
So don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
You're there

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by, on by, etc.

Honeyman lyrics - Cat Stevens

I want to be your honey man
I want to be, I want to be your honey man
To wash your clothes and hold your hand
I want to be, I want to be your honey man

You've got a lot
But all of your money and stuff
Just isn't enough to buy what I can give
When things get rough
And all of your friendliest friends
Are turning to dust

We will live ...
You know I'll give you the world
I'll sacrifice girl anything
I'll do it all on my own, believe me

I Want To Live In A Wigwam lyrics - Cat Stevens

I'd like to live in a wigwam
Yes I'd like to live in a wigwam
I'd like to live in a wigwam and
Dance round the totem pole

I'd like to live in an igloo
Yes, I'd like to live in an igloo
I'd like to live in an igloo and
Fish from an icehole

I'd like to ride on a caravan
I'd like to take a ride on a caravan
Yes, I'd like to ride on a caravan and
Sing with the gypsies

I'd like to live on a commune
Yes, I'd like to live on a commune
I'd like to live on a commune and
People can call me a hippie

I don't want to live in a palace
No, I don't want to live in no palace
Oh I don't want to live in no palace
There's too many empty rooms

I don't want to live in a barracks
I don't want to live in a barracks
Oh I don't want to live in a barracks
And wake up to the bugle tune

I'd just like to live in a treehut
Yes, I'd like to live in a treehut
Yes, I'd like to live in a treehut and
Listen to the sound of the birds

I don't want to live in a jailhouse
Don't wanna bide my time in no jailhouse
No I don't want to live in no jailhouse and
Be fed bread through the bars

I'm glad I'm alive am I
I'm glad I'm alive am I
I'm glad I'm alive
I'm glad I'm alive
I'm glad I'm alive am I

We gotta get our heads up in the sky
We gotta get our heads up in the sky
We gotta get our heads up
Gotta give it time
We gotta get our heads up in the sky

Gotta get to heaven get a guide
We gotta get to heaven get a guide
We gotta have a guide
We gotta get to heaven get a guide

I've Got A Thing About Seeing My Grandson Grow Old lyrics - Cat Stevens

I buy the nicest things from a super market store
Vitamin land and marzipan and I know just what they're all for
I've organized my useless life in a way I've never done before
Even visit the dentist now

But I've got no time for silly chitter chatter
I'm on my way
Cause while my blood's still warm and my mind doesn't matter
I'm hoping to stay
'Cause I've got a thing about seeing my grandson grow old

I just can't wait to see that city on the moon
With air conditioned gardens that'll play your favorite tune
I'll see my feet upon that street if it's the last thing that I'll do
Even sweep the roads to be there

But I've got no time for silly chitter chatter
I'm on my way
Cause while my blood's still warm and my mind doesn't matter
I'm hoping to stay
'Cause I've got a thing about seeing my grandson grow old

I'll see my feet upon that street if it's the last thing that I'll do
Even sweep the roads to be there

But I've got no time for silly chitter chatter
I'm on my way
Cause while my blood's still warm and my mind doesn't matter
I'm hoping to stay
'Cause I've got a thing about seeing my grandson grow old

If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out lyrics - Cat Stevens

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

[Chorus:]
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are

[Chorus]

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are

Mountain lyrics - Cat Stevens

Midnight come, colors are melting
White moon shivering on the sea
Like a ghost up to the mountain
Wax Queen will carry me
I can see the forest for miles
All the creatures small and large
If you crumble I won't be living
For my love would have no house

Mountain, oh mighty mountain
Show me secrets you have
So I may become brother to Moses
And live, live and be glad
I can feel all of your powers
Growing lighter in the dark
If you crumble I won't be living
For my love would have no heart

White moon, white as my skeleton
Who has seen martyrs among my brothers
Yet strength remained in me to write the song
Say no more! The children already know
And their dreams grow strong like the trees
In their minds where thoughts are plotted
Is also where crystal suns are forged

And they will be older than a thousand years
So that they may open the deserts of the heart
And in these dreams of the mountain
Friendship will surface

Two Fine People lyrics - Cat Stevens

Now that I've passed your test
How can I prove to you baby i'll never let you down
If I led you around, I'm sorry
But I never meant to worry you.... no
Now that I've kissed your breast
How can I prove to you baby I'll never make you sad
If I ever had , do believe your tears tears won't come back again
I love you, though the stars may fade
And mountains turn into sand. I love you
'Til my body changes into an old man. I love you
And the song that i sing is the only way that I can explain
La la la la la la
You know i wish for you baby nothing but good times ahead
Anything that heaven can give you, I can give you instead
La la la la la la
How could I lie to you baby, I'll never lead you around
I'll take care of everything you need, darling
Every little need'll be found. I love you
Thought the time may change and snowmen sleep in the sea
And I really only want you to want me. I love you
And the song that i sing is the only way that i can explain
Now that you've shown your heart
I'll be right with you baby, I'll never leave you alone
Anywhere you want me to be honey, i'll be there to have and to hold
And now that the clouds roll back, hold on to me baby
We're going never to land, flying on the power of love
Flying on the power of love. I love you
Though time may fade and mountains turn into sand
I love you, 'til the very same come back to the land
I love you and the song that i sing is the only way that
i can explain
Two fine people should love each other
Two fine people should help each other
