Kevin Ayers June 1 1974 Lyrics
1.Baby's On Fire


2.Driving Me Backwards


3.Everybody's Sometime And Some People's All The Time Blues

It's late in the evening
And the weather is cold
I'm beginning to miss you
But that story's so old
I know i've been knocking
My head on the wall
And i must have been crazy
To leave
Oh yeah, yeah
Strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.

Sometimes i'm burning
With a vision so bright
That it brings on the sunshine
In the middle of the night
And all those musical ladies
And the crazed young men
They are trying to make music
Together again? 0h no no
And a strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.


4.Heartbreak Hotel


5.May I?

I just came in off the street
Looking for somewhere to eat
I find a small cafe
I see a girl and then i say

'may i sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'

You don't have to say a thing
You're the song without the sing
The sunlight in your hair
You look so good just sitting there

'may i sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'


6.Shouting In A Bucket Blues

Sometimes i get too drunk,
I feel so goddamned low
I have no place to go, no one to turn to
I think about your loving arms, where i'd like to be
But it's selfish as can be, and i know it
And if i'm sorry for myself, i'm sorry for you too
'cause i'm the same as you, and i'm burning

So i sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout

I won't say that i love you, 'cause that would be a lie
I can only say i try, and you know it
Love is something more or less than words can hope to say
It's something day to day in the life we're living
Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find
Yes i can count all mine on one finger

So i sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout

The distance that's between us, it just never seems to change
There's a whole mountain range of misunderstanding

So i sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout


7.Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes

I walked into this bar
And the man refused;
He said, 'we don't serve strangers
In blue suede shoes;
We don't give credit, and
We don't give way--
We have to think about what the people might say..
Uh, you know what i mean...'
I said, 'sure, man'

Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,
And i offered him one of my cigarettes.
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.
Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .

He said, 'my oh my, i have suffered too long,
And this cigarette seems to be very strong;
I don't make the rules
I just get what i take
And i guess every rule was made to break.
You can take what you like, it won't hurt me
Cause i'm just working for the company.'
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,
And said, 'i think i'll pick my travelling bag.

I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head
And filling the boss's bags with bread.
I want to get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on on skin again;
The world is large, and i've got time yet.
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
Thank you very much.'

'you know, i feel like a new man
Yes i do, i don't know why;
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much(indeed)
It's a beautiful day
I think i'll be on my way (right away)
I'd just like to say
Thank you very much.
Yes, i'm getting the hell out of here
Yes, i am - bye, bye.
That's the end of the message
Thank you very much.
Bye bye...


8.The End


9.Two Goes Into Four

Two goes into four
Two times no more
Two will make four
Blue goes into green
Mostly unseen
ue becomes green
Dreams take me so far
Life is the star
Trapped in my jar
Go
Follow the wind
Open your heart
Then you may start
To make it
Better
