Everything Is Beautiful
(Sinopoli/Zweig)


Wake me up to a summery breeze
Cuppa coffee and maybe I'll seize the day
And that could be beautiful
Traffic's light all the way to my work
I get a smile from the girl in the turquoise sweater
I think I can get her

CHORUS:
Everything is beautiful
When I get my way
If everything stays cool and still
Nobody gets hurt
Nobody gets hurt today

Watch your step when you see me come 'round
Watch your mouth or you'd better hit the ground runnin'
And that could be beautiful
Keep a smile on every face
Keep your distance or go out in a blaze of glory
End of story

Hey you, turn around
I'm the king: you're the clown
Look in my eyes
What do you see?
Fire's burning inside of me
And that could be beautiful



One Sense At A Time
(Zweig)


First you took my sight when you walked into view
I could not believe that somebody looked like you
Then all I heard was a noise
Till I tuned in your voice
Girl, you took me one sense at a time

Cool air fills the room, and I break out in a sweat
The smell of your perfume's like we just got out of bed
My head says "On your feet"
But my heart can't feel the beat
Girl, you took me one sense at a time

BRIDGE:
You took me one sense at a time
Had me struck dumb in my prime
Never to recover if I ever make you mine

You glance at me and smile
And stun me for a while
Girl you took me...

By the time you turn back 'round
Everything's shut down
Girl, you took me...

  Blood Money
(Zweig)


Everything I got I stole myself
If it wasn't me it'd be somebody else
Run me in, write it up, pat me down
Don't need a gun, got a bank account
Take it all, leave no witness
Wash your hands and say "That's business"

CHORUS:
Blood money is why we came
Blood money is the point of the game
Blood money-every red cent
It's all blood money once it gets spent

All things come to those who wait
But you'd better stand still so it goes in straight
In the big town underground everyone's the same
But here on the surface, you gotta know the game
Hold it down till you've drowned it
Find the weak one then surround it

The key to life is adaptation
It's all part of God's creation
Oh, I didn't make it so
But that's the way things go



Don't Tie Me Down
(Love/Sinopoli/Godovitz)


CHORUS:
Don't tie me down, oh no
'Cause I just can't be true
Don't tie me down, little girl
I'll only end up hurting you
Tried my best so many times, but I just can't be true
Don't tie me down, tie me down, me down to you

Baby when I first received your letter
I saw the hurt in every line
You say I'm worse, I think I'm better
But I can't seem to give you peace of mind

You gave me all your love
That's understood
I've tried so hard to change
But it's just so hard to fake it
Sometimes I wish I could
Don't tie me down, oh no
Don't time me down, oh no

Now you say you're gonna leave me
'Cause I've put your back against the wall
At least you won't stoop to deceive me
It's just my luck to take the fall



Christmas Would Not Be Christmas (Without You)
(Sinopoli/Zweig)


When I think of all the things I love about Christmas
Whether it's snowflakes falling or all that Yuletide cheer
But if you're not sitting down beside me at Christmas
There's no winter wonderland going on around here
I'll throw away the mistletoe
The fire burns down low

No chestnuts roasting by the fire
No Nat King Cole

CHORUS:
Christmas would not be Christmas
Could not be Christmas
Would not know what to do, baby
Christmas would not be Christmas
Without you

It's the time of year when people get together
Nobody's in a hurry, it's shutdown time of year
And I wish this feeling could go on forever
Instead of just when Christmas time is here
And if you didn't hear my call
Santa wouldn't come at all
No stocking hung above the fire
No Deck the Halls
