Gilbert O'sullivan Rare Tracks Lyrics
1.To Each His Own

You say some day, oh baby let's get away, me, i'll stay at home,
to each his own blackbird on the wire leave something to be
desired, this bird hasn't flown, to each his own where in the
world w
You ever incur, such incongruous statements as incongruous as
that you write every day, how many words i can say, me i
telephone, to each his own to each his own, i'm not a prude by
any means, b
Dity upon the screens has reached a point where acting is now
secondary, it's now no longer what you wear, but what you are
prepared to bear, the point being that the more you show, the
bigger y
Be, to each his own; of ever moment i cherish alone, it amazes
me how easily i'm scared of that, you say some day, oh baby
let's get away, me, i'll stay at home, to each his own i'm not
afraid
Y right now, that if i had to milk a cow, i'm sure i could do a
damned good job of doing it, i've always been a real dab had at
this dab hand, on the other hand, forgive me for the pun,
because
T couldn't resist it


2.Our Own Baby

We both know each other for welt over a year, during which time
we've shed many a tear, but throughout it all one thing is
clear, i still love you, love you, love you you more than hold
the key
Happiness, therefore, i suggest, why don't we get together, once
and for all, who knows baby, next year a stork might call,
present us with a beautiful sight to see, our own baby all my
life i
Asked for very much, never felt the need to take what i could
touch, my ambition was without any fuss, to be happy, happy,
happy, happy well judging by the time i'm having with you, i'd
say it'
E true, now why don't we get together once and for all, who
knows baby next year a stork might call, present us with a
beautiful sight to see, our own baby; we'll give it everything
that money c
Buy, we'll take it with us everywhere we go, because we love it
i may not be as handsome as a king, but looks aren't everything,
now why don't we get together, once and for all, who knows baby,
Year a stork might call, pre
Sent us with a beautiful sight to see, our own baby our little
one, our own baby, it's bound to be a son, just like his father
before him.


3.What's In A Kiss(Another Version)

What's in a kiss have you ever wondered just what it is, more
perhaps than just one moment of bliss, tell me what's in a kiss
what's in a dream, is it all the things you'd like to have been,
all
Places that you haven't yet seen, tell me what's in a dream, i
know it's really rather stupid of me, but i honestly don't know,
every time i try to find a solution, i'm surprised at how
quickly
Become so slow, and any time you need a light refreshment, baby,
you can count on me, i am your very own delicatessen,
well-equipped to supply you with your every need what's in a
kiss have you
Wondered just what it is, ore perhaps than just one moment of
bliss, tell me what's in a kiss tell me what's in a kiss, tell
me what's in a kiss


4.As Long As I Can

I don't want to live forever, i just want to live as long as i
can, i don't want to live forever, i just want to live as long
as i can, i just want to live as long as i can, i don't know if
you
Know me, i don't know if you do or not, i don't know if you
don't know me, you might do and then again you might not, you
might do but then again you might not, you might not, and i've
seen so
Peculiar incidents in my life, like the time a fella got married
to a fella, he called his wife, did they make a handsome couple,
well how are we to know, what happens when they want a child, is
Hat what keeps a marriage alive? i don't want to live forever, i
just want to live as long as i can, i just want to live as long
as i can, i just want to live as long as i can, as long as i
can,
I've seen some how can i put this, funny things in my life, like
the time a woman said sorry to a man, she stabbed with a knife
and in view of all of this nonsense, i think it's only fair, to
po
Ut that despite its faults, e
Ngland still has hp sauce, i don't want to live forever, i just
want to live as long as i can, i just want to live as long as i
can, i just want to live as long as i can, i just want to jive
as
As i can, as long as i can, as long as i can, as long as i can,
as long as i can.


5.Doing What I Know

Sometimes i think i don't know what i'm doing, but i always end
up doing what i know, sometimes i think i don't know what i'm
doing, but i always end up doing what i know, and it's amazing
when
Hink of it, how many people smoke, despite the risks that are
involved, there's really very little hope, - without them we

know what i'm doing, but i always end up doing what i know,
sometimes
Ink i don't know what i'm doing, but i always end up doing what
i know, have you ever wondered, what would happen in a third
world war, no sooner would it have begun, than it would be all
over,
Look over your shoulder, your shoulder, it's above your knees
sometimes i think i don't know what i'm doing, but i always end
up doing what i know, and what i know, may not i know be a great
dea
T what i know nobody can take

sometimes i think i don't know what i'm doing, but i always end
up doing

6.Can't Get Enought Of You(Another Version)

There's nothing in the world that i'd like more than to be left
standing outside your door, where perhaps i might be asked to
come in there i could very easily demonstrate of what now
appears to
Y fate, you see i'm hooked on something and it's not heroin, oh
i just can't get enough of you, no, i can't get enough what am i
gonna do, i've tried every trick in the book that's going, now
i'
Cided that they're not worth knowing, my predicament is as
simple as this, i'm not satisfied and the reason is i just can't
get enough of you my experience of life so far, has been to say
the le
Not the least bizarre, i mean i work for a living, eight hours a
day, i don't smoke or drink, except a little wine, the friends
that i have are the genuine kind, i think i'm fairly rational,
in
Erate way, yet i can't get enough of you, no, i can't get
enough, what am i gonna do, i've had other women but they don't
move me, you're the only one who can see right through me, what
you've g
Can't explain, other than to
Tell i wouldn't complain, i just can't get enough of you, no i
can't get enough of you, i just can't get enough, what am i
gonna do, like oliver twist said when he asked for more, i
happen to li
At you gave me before, my condition is rather unique, i'm
suffering from the world's first lovely disease i just can't get
enough of you, no i can't get enough of you, can't get enough of
you


7.Too Long(Unreleased)

I've been outside my window looking in for a change, and what
i've seen let me tell you, isn't the least bit strange, my
landlady she puts her head into my room, her nose must be as
long as the
E of a broom, but you, you amaze me when you suddenly show up,
protesting your innocence and proclaiming your love, but it's
been too long, since you went away, too long, you know there's
no cha
Ou staying, too long, baby, but you should know that, after
seven whole years you still want me back, it's been too long
baby, take my advice, you can walk out on me once but you can't
do it twi
F life is what you make it then you'll have to agree, in my life
i've had more that i a lifetime's misery, it's not that i'm
complaining, you know i wouldn't do that, but in our firm when
there'
Uble, it's me who gets the sack, but you, you amaze me with your
big blue eyes, you thought me seeing you would be nice surprise,
but it's been too long, too long since you went away, too long,
You hear what i'm saying, to
O long, baby, why won't you be told, sure i cared about you once
but that was long ago it's been too long baby, go ahead and cry,
you can walk out on me once but you can't do it twice, too long,
, why won't you be told, sure i cared about you once but that
was long ago go on back to the life that you said you had found,
don't bother me with your ups and your downs, oh i don't
understand
Someone like you, turns up like this out of the blue, too long,
baby, why won't you be told, sure i cared about you once but
that was long ago it's been too long baby, you heard what i
said, it'
If you had returned from the dead, too long baby.

what a find, from my head to my booted seams, i'm living my
wildes
Ams, i'm living my wildest dreams, now i think you know, i'll
never, never let you go how can i express the misery i get the
minute you're away, no sooner have you gone when everything is

Nothing is ok, oh i may not be a superman, i'm hardly the type
that can, but i think you know, i'll never, i'll never let you
go, love may not be as good as it may seem, often it's a sad
affair,

somewhere ever since the day i saw you come my way, i know that
you were mine, nothing could prevent it, heaven must have sent
it, o

find a way, i think you know i'll never, i'll never let you go,

9.What You See Is What You Get

You don't know me, i don't know you, we're like strangers coming
out of the blue, we call each other by different names, my name
is tarzan baby, your's could be jane, looks like rain, i think
th
Ould be snow, these days somehow you just never know, the
weather bureau are finding it hard, yesterday's sunshine caught
them off their guard what you see is what you get, what you are

Xpect, you expect, oh, i've no secrets to keep from you, not
that that's something i wouldn't do, we all have secrets that we
