Wonderful World Of The Wondermints

Wondermints Wonderful World Of The Wondermints Lyrics
1.Knowing Me, Knowing You

No more carefree laughter

Silence ever after

Walking through an empty house

Tears in my eyes

This is where the story ends,

This is goodbye.

Knowing me, knowing you

There is nothing we can do

Knowing me, knowing you

We just have to face it,

This time we're through

Breakin' up is never easy, i know

But i have to go

Knowing me, knowing you

It's the best i can do.

Mem'ries, good days, bad days

They'll be with me always

In these old familiar rooms

Children would play,

Now there's only emptiness

Nothing to say.


2.So You Are A Star

So you are a star-okay

Nobody knows you like i do

And you will go far-okay

Nobody knows you like i do.

You've got to love only me

You've got to feel only me

'cause nobody knows you,

Nobody shows you the way

Like i do.

So you are a star, they say

Nobody knows you like i do

And you play the part-okay

Nobody knows you like i do.

You've got to love only me

You've got to feel only me

'cause nobody knows you,

Nobody shows you the way

Like i do.

I close my eyes

Thinking about my tomorrow

And then i cry

'cause no one here can shed a tear for me, oh yeah.

So you are a star-okay

Nobody knows you like i do

And you know you are, oh yeah

Nobody knows you like i do.

You've got to love only me

You've got to feel only me

'cause nobody knows you,

Nobody shows you the way, the way

Nobody knows you this way.


3.Skyman

Skyman, skyman

Where do you come from?

Where are you going to, skyman?

As i was walking down one night,

Me and my darling

I saw in the sky a flashing light,

Me and my darling

As it hovered overhead,

As the sun was turning red,

We heard a voice, and that voice said,

'aaaaaaah!

'children of earth

Be not afraid

For we come in peace.'

Skyman, skyman

Where do you come from?

Where are you going to, skyman?

If you are ever out at night,

You and your darling

If you see this flashing light,

You and your darling

Don't be afraid and run away

'cause soon there's going to come a day

When all the world will hear them say,

'aaaaaaah!

'children of earth

Be not afraid

Your dna is pretty.'

Skyman, skyman

Where do you come from?

Where are you going to, skyman?


4.Porpoise Song

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away

And there's so much to say

A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice

An image cannot rejoice

Wanting to be

To hear and to see

Flying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing goodbye - goodbye

Goodbye - goodbye - goodbye

Clicks, clacks riding the backs of giraffes for laughs

Is alright for awhile

The ego sings of castles and kings and things

That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel

To know what is real

Living is a lie

But the porpoise is waiting goodbye - goodbye

Goodbye - goodbye - goodbye


5.Darling

Darling can you see something inside

Can't be denied it's the way that you feel

If you want it, you gotta try

Taking the best of the lesson you know

When the night has turned to dawn i will be gone

Where's the reason and the strength to carry on

Come back, i can see you far behind

Taking a chance and forgetting the reason

That i need you on my mind

Making the best of the season till now

Is there nothing in the world that takes the sound

For the more we can conceive the more we found

La la la la

Darling can you feel it? i need your love

I need the way that you make me feel

Darling if you want it, you can be sure

Taking the best of the lesson you know

There so many in the stars watching the sky

And you know somehow that most of them will die

Darling can you see something inside

Can't be denied it's the way that you feel

If you want it, you gotta try

Taking the best of the lesson you know

When the night has turned to dawn i will be gone

Where's the reason and the strength to carry on


6.Ooh Child

Ooh child things are gonna get easier

Ooh child things'll get brighter

Ooh child things are gonna get easier

Ooh child things'll get brighter

Someday yeah, we'll put it together and we'll get it undone

Someday when we hit it much lighter

Someday when the world is much brighter

Ooh child things are gonna be easier

Ooh child things 'll be brighter

Ooh child things are gonna be easier

Ooh child things 'll be brighter

Someday yeah, we'll put it together and we'll get it undone

Someday, lighter

Someday yeah, we'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun

Someday, brighter

Someday yeah, we'll put it together and we'll get it undone

Someday, lighter

Someday yeah, we'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun

Someday, brighter

Ooh child things are gonna be easier

Ooh child things 'll be brighter

Ooh child things are gonna be easier

Ooh child things 'll be brighter

Right now

You just wait and see, things are gonna be


7.My Friend Jack

My friend jack eats sugarlumps

My friend jack eats sugarlumps

Sugarman hasn't got a care

He's been traveling everywhere

Been on a voyage across the ocean

Heard the sweet sounds of wheels in motion

He's seen the hawk fly high to hail the setting sun

My friend jack eats sugarlumps

My friend jack eats sugarlumps

Sugarman hasn't got a care

He's been traveling everywhere

Seen all the people in the city

And the bright lights, they're awful pretty

He's followed dusty tracks into eternity

Eatin' sugar made in cuba

Tried to grow it in japan

On the west coast he's real famous

Kids all call him sugarman

My friend jack eats sugarlumps

My friend jack eats sugarlumps

Sugarman hasn't got a care

He's been traveling everywhere

Been on a voyage across the ocean

Heard the sweet sounds of wheels in motion

He's seen the hawk fly high to hail the setting sun

My friend jack eats sugarlumps

My friend jack eats sugarlumps

Sugarman hasn't got a care

He's been traveling everywhere


8.Louise

She lives but she don't move

She loves but she don't groove

She thinks without no reason

That girl is out of season

Louise, you don't know louise

You don't know louise, you don't know louise

(just can't please her, can't please her)

She's high but i'm so down

Her head goes round and round and round

She stares with a crystal eye

But how that girl can hypnotize

Louise, you don't know louise

You don't know louise, you don't know louise

(just can't please her, can't please her)

Louise, you don't know louise

You don't know louise, you don't know louise

(just can't leave her, can't leave her)

Well i've heard you been dreaming now that's something new

You got a school teacher to talk to you

Well you got your daddy's car when the weather's clear

But you can drive mine if you sit right here, oh yeah

Louise, you don't know louise

You don't know louise, you don't know louise

(just can't leave her, can't leave her)

Louise (just can't please her, can't leave her)


9.Guess I'm Dumb

The way i act don't seem like me

I'm not on top like i used to be

Like you've been when i know i should be strong

I stuck in then even though i know it's wrong, know it's wrong

I guess i'm dumb but i don't care

And breaking off wasn't hard to do

But i couldn't stay away from you

I feel love but not the way i did before

This time girl, has got to be forever more, ever more

I guess i'm dumb but i don't care

And baby since we've been apart

Maybe i've found i had a heart

I couldn't let go even if i wanted to

You must know baby now it's only you, only you

I guess i'm dumb but i don't care


10.Don't Go Breaking My Heart

La, la, la, la

One drop of rain doesn't make the sun run away

Don't go breaking my heart

One falling leaf doesn't make september in may

Don't go breaking my heart

I made a mistake

Now must i make a mountain out of a grain of sand

Don't throw love away

Because i went astray for awhile

Teach my heart how to smile, oh

One sad goodbye doesn't mean we can't love again

Don't go breaking my heart

My love will last till the stars fall down, even then

You'll remain in my heart

Come to my arms

Forever more stay in my arms

And give me your love

La, la, la, la

Don't go breaking my heart


11.Barbarella

'woah you give me a cold shoulder'
Should be:
'though you give a cold shoulder'
The rest reads fine, although i thought the band was 'bob
glitter and the
Glitterhouse five'?

And chance you remember the lyrics to the end song? i can not
recall the first
Line and its driving me nuts'

(something) is sorrow,
The devil is hate.

A dream is tomorrow,
A fool can not wait.

An artist is beauty that rises above,
And looks in the eyes of an angel.
An angel is love...!

Why...! why do i love you, i love you, i do.
Why...? it's because my angel is you.
I know, yes, i know.
I know.
(repeat first part much faster)
End

Best,
Nick pollotta


12.Arnold Layne

Arnold layne had a strange puppet

He ran around, bike ride upside-down

Arnold layne had a strange hobby

Collecting clothes, moonshine, washing line

They suit him fine

On the wall hung a tall mirror

Distorted view, see-thru baby blue

He dug it

Oh, arnold layne it's not the same

Takes two to know

Two to know, two to know

Why can't you see ?

Arnold layne...arnold layne

Now he's caught a nasty sort of person

They gave him time, doors slam chain gang

He hated

Oh, arnold layne it's not the same

Takes two to know

Two to know, two to know

Why can't you see ?

Arnold layne...arnold layne

Arnold layne don't do it again


13.Love In The City

We walked hand in hand from the band

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.

La la la

And though she waits for me nervously

Trying to keep busy in the city

Sleeping in her bed patiently

Waiting for me come home, make 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.

La la la
