Man Overboard

Bob Welch Man Overboard Lyrics
1.Man Overboard

Written:bob welch and j. carter.

Too much too soon, sure was sweet
Foreign cars soft leather seats
Foreign prices can't compete
We can't go back, were in too deep

Man overboard
For rich or poor
They all want more
We've gone too far, man overboard

Man overboard
You can't ignore
It's so hard core
We've gone too far, man overboard

Man get laid off, he can't eat, vietnam vet., he can't sleep
Big rolls royce drivin' down the street two sexy blodes in the
back seat !

Man overboard
When it rains, it pours
I vote against
I don't vote for
We've gone too far, man overboard

Man overboard
No he can't afford
You've got enough
But we want more
He's gone to far, man overboard

I'm bored over everything i read
I'm bored over everything on t.v.
I'm bored over you
I'm bored over me
I'm overboard
Way overboard
Man overboard !

Man overboard
I'm falling overboard
We'll i'm so bored
They've gone too far, man overboard

Man overboard

It's all their fault
I've think i gone too far, man overboard

3.Nightmare

Written:bob welch and j. carter.

Have you every had nightmares every night
We'll it's been that way since you came around
I'm trying to fight this feeling down
Cause all of my dreams are about you now
What kind of curse make me what you so
Just a need of you that i can't let go

Oh how it's strange what a nightmare can put you through

(chorus)
Yeah it's two in the morning
I don't know what to do
The rest of the city is sleeping
But the nightmare rides on through
Yeah it's three in the morning
I can't sleep without you
In the dead of the night

Here comes a nightmare
Destroying my solitude

Late at night
I can't forget you
It's not psychic
I'm just scare
I could get to sleep if i knew you cared
Instead i'm dreamin' of you
It's the same nightmare
What kind of curse makes me want you so
It's a need of you that i can't let go

Ain't it strange what a nightmare can put you through

(repeat chorus)

I know i should be sleeping
I tried to go to bed
But in a dream i wake up screaming
You're the nightmare in my head

(repeat chorus)


4.B666

Written:bob welch.

We're livin a madhouse, you know
Digital religions' runnin' the whole show
See that guy over there
Rolling his eyes & tearing his hair
He controls deploymentof a thousand phantom jets
Slouching towards bethlehem
Up to his tricks
Dealing with a real b666

Were livin'in a madhouse, you know
Nothing works & the jerks are runnin' the whole show
See that guy over
Conversing with the empty air
Well he wrote all the programs on a million tape machines
Slouching towards bethlehem
Up to his tricks
Dealing with a real b666

Well you've seen him before, in the past
He was there at first, he'll be there at last
But i just couldn't help tryin' to warn ya
Cause he's slouching towards bethlehem to be born
You're just one of his million programming tricks
Dealing with a real b666


5.Don't Rush The Good Things

Written:n. gammack.

Bought me a bottle of wine
We're gonna share it tonight
It's my favorite vintage
Gonna make us feel all right

(chorus)
Don't rush the food things
Don't rush the good things in life
It's a slow job falling in love
Don't rush the good things tonight

You & me baby, no need to hurry tonight
We've got all the time in the world
To get it right, get it right, get it right
I'm gonna sip it slowly
Not gonna knock it back
I'm no historian, but i've learned on thing from the past

(repeat chorus)


6.The Girl Can't Stop

Written:bob welch.


7.Jealous

Written:bob welch.

It's easy to see why
Cause i look in those green eyes
And i fall in love with her
All over again
Yeah, but this can be dangerous
Cause those green eyes seem to say yes
So easily & to so many men

(chorus)

Well i know i've got a jealous heart
A jealous mind
But i'm trying to keep a hold of my girl

Now loving so caring
But sometimes she's daring
And those big green eyes
They set you up for a fall
Now i'm tryin' to keep her
But i just can't reach her
That with me it's all
Or nothing at all

(repeat chorus)


8.Fate Decides

Written:bob welch.

She is over there, that the one i mean
Yeah she really haunts me
Friend your lookin' strange, is there something wrong
Uh oh the truth is dawning
Guess you were her old man before i was your friend
Funny how fate plays another trick again....

(chorus)

Fate decides, totally
Fate decides, it ain't me
Fate decides, who do you love
The hand of fate decides....

It's amazing how the hand of fate revoles
& your caught in the circle
If you're a real friend you'll never mind
that i happened to love that girl
She's neither yours or mine
Part of the whole design
I got to take my chance
Cause when it's time it's time...

(repeat chorus)

10.Those Days Are Gone

Written:bob welch.

In the summer, when we change to men
Welll we eased up on the throttle then
And we listened to open book of love
All the the crazies & the water bombs
Car radio turned number one
Yeah the one time we were careless, wild & young

(chorus)
Those days are gone
But we still can hang on to our love
Yeah we can

I remember crusin' all those streets
In the beachtowns where the gas was cheap
And the summer, seemed to last longer than life
On the bus bench, eatin' cherry pie
With the one guy
Who was always high
And the one girl
That you dream of every night

(repeat chorus)
