ALVIN LEE LYRICS
"Can't Sleep At Night"
1979 Space Songs Ltd.
Well you left me all alone standin' down
by the station
Have to learn the practice at the United
Nation
It's alright - Yeah baby, it's all right
Say that you'll be home - I can't sleep without
you
Can't sleep at night
Well I can't sleep at night, cause nothin'
ain't right - without you
Well I can't sleep a wink, you're makin'
me think - about you child
Oooo, when you call my name - you're certain
to drive me insane
I want your love, I want you love
I want ya, I want ya, want ya
I can't sleep at night, cause there's no
satisfaction
Baby please come home, cause I'm missin'
all the action
It's alright - yeah baby, it's all right
Say that you'll be back - honey I'm still
waitin'
Can't sleep at night - no, no, I can't sleep
at night
Well I can't sleep at night, cause nothin'
ain't right - without you
Well I can't sleep a wink, you're makin'
me think - about you child,
Yeah , yeah
Oooo, when you call my name - you're certain
to drive me insane
I want your love, I want your love child
I want ya, I want ya, want ya
"Can't Stop"
1981 Space Songs Ltd.
Can't stop, lovin' you - Can't stop - feelin'
you
From the highest mountain - on a ragin' sea
Anywhere I go - you put a spell on me
Can't hide, the way I feel - Can't hide,
the love is real
Anywhere I roam - like a rollin' stone
You are in my heart - I'll never be alone
Can't stop.....,Can't stop....., Can't stop....Lovin'
You
Can't stop, wanting you - Can't stop, the
love is true
In a distant land - anywhere I find
You are in my heart - you're still on my
mind
Can't stop.....,Can't stop....., Can't stop....Lovin'
You
Can't stop.....Can't stop - Can't stop.....Can't
stop
Can't stop.....Can't stop - Can't stop....Lovin'
You!

"Carry My Load"
1973 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
Seems that I've got to carry my load
Keep on down that long winding road
But I'd like to sit down for a while
Got a dark cloud following me
Seems that fate just wont let me be
Got to keep on pushing down the road
Seems to me this road has got no end
But maybe it gets better round the bend
So I'll keep on moving along
Pass the time by singing my song
Maybe today the sun will shine on me
Seems I've felt this way in the past
Time has shown that nothing can last
So I'll keep on trucking down the road
"Chemicals, Chemistry, Mystery &
More"
1978 Space Songs, Ltd.
Life is all one great big universe
Chemicals, chemistry, mystery and more
Life is what you make it
Life can hit you hard
Life can pick you up - oh
And throw you down again
Live in pain is life
Hurts to lose a friend
Hearts torn away
Death, the spirit lives
And forevermore to be free
Forever to be free
"Choo Choo Mama"
1973 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
Choo choo mama, won't you ride the train
?
My life without you is just mis'ry and pain,
come back to me;
I'll treat you best I can.
Choo choo mama, you should have a choo choo
man.
Choo choo mama, won't you ride a rail ?
I need your lovin', can't you hear me wail,
come back to me;
You know I love you so.
Choo choo mama, won't you get a choo choo
home ?
Choo choo mama, won't you ride a track ?
I need your lovin', won't you bring some
back on home to me;
I need your lovin' babe.
Choo choo mama, don't you know you drive
me mad ?
Choo choo mama, you're a cheery thing.
I need you baby, can't you hear me sing,
come back to me;
I want you back again.
Choo choo mama, won't you get a choo choo
track ?
"Circles"
1970 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
Life is going 'round in circles, wonder will
it ever end.
If I die babe will you miss me, or just find
another friend.
Does it matter what I do, live life right
or bear a grudge ?
Does it matter what I do, is there anyone
to judge ?
I have been to many places, I have journeyed
through the mind.
Though I've found some different faces, 'nother
answer I can't find.
Does it matter what I do, is there anyone
to say ?
Does it matter what I do, is there any other
way ?
I have got what I once dreamed of, as a child
so long ago.
But my life just goes in circles, 'cause
one answer I don't know.
Does it matter what I do, who will hear me
if I cry ?
Does it matter what I do, does it matter
if I die ?

"Convention Prevention"
1972 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
I'd like to reach out to you - and learn
just how do you do
So we can still relate.
I'd like to open my mind - so you can come
in and find
How we communicate.
There's a chemical reaction - and it's causing
an attraction
From you to me.
I am not one for convention - but I have
a good intention
For you from me.
Rain is fallin' and a thunderbolt is crashin'
through my head,
And there's people and pain all around me.
Someone is callin' and electric sparks are
everywhere I tread.
My life it seems is a sequence of dreams,
And there's people and pain all around me.
I'm going down in a black elevator
'cause the big masturbator's got his eye
on me.
I'm goin' down 'cause my brain is on fire
and my soul is a liar 'cause I tried to be
free,
tried to be free, tried to be free.
Freedom in your mind - you can have when
you're dead,
Freedom in your life just depends on you're
head.
Freedom in you're heart - can, alas, never
be
because no one on this earth has been born
to be free,
born to be free, born to be free.
All of my life I have tried to be free,
All of my life - I have learned all I see.
All of my life - I have searched for a clue;
All of my life I have tried to be true,
tried to be true, tried to be true.
