Listen now what I say, I'll be coming round your way
but I'm gonna take my time, yes I'm gonna take my time
hear the rasta man shout, there's too much rushing about
so I'm gonna take my time
Listen now what I say. I can do it anyway
but I'm gonna take my time. yes, I'm gonna take my time
it does my mind confound, with all this rushing around
so I'm gonna take my time
Once I was a man who's on the move (oh yeah)
nowadays when I can I want to to groove (oh yeah)
so if you're a fast train, cocaine, you will fry your brain
all this rushing about is gonna drive a man insane (drive me insane now)
Once I was a man who's on the move (oh yeah)

"Talk Don't Bother Me"
1986 Space Songs Ltd.
Talk don't bother me, don't care what people say
Anyway that you take me, don't matter anyway
'Cause I live the life I choose
Found a way to cure the blues
With the woman I love
I can't change my mind, I live the way I choose
And I thought that I could find, a way to cure the blues
There ain't nothing wrong with me
'Cause the blues has set me free
With the woman I love
Talk don't bother me, don't care what people say
Anyway that you take me, don't matter anyway
'Cause I live the life I choose
Found a way to cure the blues
With the woman I love
I live the way I choose
And I thought that I could find
Sure way to cure the blues
There ain't nothing wrong with me
'Cause the blues has set me free
With the woman I love
Tell Me Why
(2003 Space Songs)
Tell me why why why this change in you
won't you tell me what you're tryin' to do
tell me why why why this change of heart
have mercy you're tearing me apart
I get all shook up fit to bust
There's no one left that I can trust
and it's got me thinking that I'm nobody's fool
you get easy money from hard earned cash
and you might think I'm talking trash
but that ain't bad 'cause I am staying cool
Tell me why why why this change in you
won't you tell me what you're tryin' to do
tell me why why why this change of mind
won't you tell me why you're so unkind
(why you're so unkind to me)
Tell me why why why this change in you
won't you tell me what you're tryin' to do
tell me why why why this change of heart
have mercy you're tearing me apart
Tell me why why why this change in you
won't you tell me what you're tryin' to do
tell me why why why this change of mind
won't you tell me why you're so unkind
be unkind ot me one mroe time)
"The Bluest Blues"
1994 Space Songs Ltd.
I couldn't wait to see you - waiting by the door
There's no one there to meet me - and your clothes are on the floor
Sorry if I hurt you - and I made you cry
Couldn't stand to see you - with another guy
It's the bluest blues - and it cuts me like a knife
It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of my life
Couldn't really tell you - how you hurt my pride
Something broke within me - down inside
I never knew I loved you - til you went away
Now the loneliness surrounds me - everyday
It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of the door
It's the bluest blues - cause I won't see you no more
I'm sorry if I failed you - if somehow I'm to blame
It's the bluest blues I'm feeling - it's a cryin' shame
I just can't live without you - face another day
It's the bluest blues I'm feeling, and it's here to stay
It's the bluest blues, and it cuts me to the bone
It's the bluest blues, when you can't find your way home
1975 Space Songs Ltd.
The darkest night, can seem so bright
My love for you, will see me through
Into your eyes, I see your love return - to me
Though we're apart, you're in my heart
No need to cry - I will get by
By my side, my moonlight way is clear - to me
Though I've traveled down life's highways
I've never been this way before
And now I see that love, can turn the key to any door
The darkest night, can seem so bright
My love for you, will see me through
Into your eyes, I see your love return - to me
1992 Space Songs, Warner Chappell Ltd.
Well I was caught in the crossfire
Like a bullet from a gun
I fell for all the lies you told me
Now my troubles have begun
It's like a hurricane hannah
The way you blew me away
Now I'm finding out the price Tag
When your feelings run away
What is the price of this love
What is the price of this love
What are you thinking of
Baby Baby Baby Baby, what is the price of this love
Well I was caught in the crossfire
Like a bullet from a gun
I fell for all the lies you told me
Now my troubles have begun
What is the price of this love
What is the price of this love
What are you thinking of
Baby Baby Baby Baby, what is the price of this love
1967 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
The sounds are in my head, I can't hear what is said
The sounds are all around, from the sky - from the ground
All I want is just to live, I have everything to give
But the sounds are on my mind, and the answer I can't find
Rhythm of rain, haunts my brain
Mowing of lawns, hooting horns
There's no silence I can find, to give me time to rest my mind
The sounds are in my head, I can't hear what is said
The sounds are all around, from the sky - from the ground
All I want is just to live, I have everything to give
But the sounds are on my mind, and the answer I can't find
The sounds, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds !
Baby the sounds, sounds on my mind, oh !
Mowing of lawns, hooting horns !
Telephone bell, the sounds of hell !
Trains and planes, rushin' and pushin'
Hustle and bustle, Sounds ! Sounds !
Babe, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds - sounds, sounds, sounds !
Don't let the sounds in......telephone ringing.......Stop !

"The World Is Changing"
1973 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd./Holy Smoke Music
The world is changing far to fast
I wonder just how long we'll last
The smoke is filling up the sky Oh my
Don't want to die, here's the reason why
I got a woman back in Georgia
A mother and child in Tennessee
I want a world that they can live in
With air to breath and skies to see
There's people that I'll never see
And they're all trying to be free
I guess they're just like you and me
Don't want to die, here's the reason why
The world is all we have to give
A place where children grow and live
What good's a world without a sky or sea
It's up to you, Honey it's up to me
"There's A Feeling"
1974 Space Songs Ltd.
(Oh yeah)
There's a feeling, down inside me
And it's trying, to come on out
There's a feeling, it's going 'round me
Cause it makes me - just wanna shout
There's a feeling, down inside me
You know I'm trying, to get control
I find I'm losing - concentration
Cause this feeling, is in my soul
You know the reason why
Cause I don't want to fly away - Hey, hey
There's a feeling, down inside me
And I don't think, it's gonna stay
Cause I don't want, to settle down yet
Let my feet sink, into the clay
And so I'm gonna try
Though I don't want to fly away - Hey, hey
"Think About The Times"
1971 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
Think about the times when you're happy,
Think about the times when you're sad.
Think about the life you are living,
Think about your life and be glad.
You are living, you are in the world,
And your life belongs to you.
You are living, you are of the earth,
And the earth - is of you too.
There'll be times when you are lonely,
There'll be times when you are down.
They are times you remember,
With a smile or with a frown.
You are living, you are in the world,
And your life belongs to you.
You are living, you are of the earth,
And the earth - is of you too.
Think About The Times

You are living
You are in the world
And your life belongs to you
You are living
You are of the earth
And the earth is of you, too
"Through With Your Lovin"

Ahh, come on.......
Come on.........
Ain't nothin' I can tell ya - Be gone, thanks a lot
Know you think I'm comin' back - But not til you give up
Baby, I'm through with your lovin' - Cause you always cause me pain
Yes, I'm through with your lovin' - Baby, I won't come back again

Bitchin' with ya every night - Just ain't my kinda style
So, I'm through with your lovin' - Cause it don't do me no good
Well baby, I'm through with your lovin' - Cause it don't do what it should

So I'm through with your lovin' - Cause it only makes me sore
Baby, I'm through with your lovin' - And I won't come back no more
"Time and Space"
1975 Space Songs Ltd.
As you sit there in the country, do you ever think of me ?
As I travel 'cross the ocean, always searchin' to be free
Will I cried last night for you babe ?
As I stared out at the stars
Time and space has come between us,
Might as well be up on Mars
Seems that I was born to wonder - seems the devil's on my mind
So I've got to keep on searchin' - til the answer I can find
Will I need so much to hold you ?
As I lie here all alone
Time and space has come between us,
Wish that I was comin' home
Seems that I was born to wonder - seems the devil's on my mind
So I've got to keep on searchin' - til the answer I can find
Seems that I just need you, cause I love you deep inside
Time and space has come between us, wish that I was by your side
Wish that I was by your side, wish that I was by your side
Wish that I was by your side, wish that I was by your side
"Time To Meditate"
1978 Space Songs Ltd.
Time to meditate
Feel like I want to, get off the bus
Remember what your best friend said
Ride the bus, ride the bus
Don't get off till it stops
Time to meditate
Feel like I want to, get off the bus
Remember what you told yourself
Don't make it worse, flow through your life
Don't make changes
If then, change that sails through
Time to meditate
Ride the bus, keep on ridin'
Ride the bus
Don't get off till it stops
C'mon and ride the bus
Keep on ridin' the bus
C'mon and ride the bus
Don't get off till it stops
"Tomorrow I'll Be Out Of Town"
1973 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
You know tomorrow I'll be out of town,
Babe before the sun goes down.
There's an agent and he's made a bet
That I'll be sitting on a jumbo jet.
Babe, I'd like to stay here, babe I'd like to play here
But I made a deal - and though it don't seem real,
Just another day, I'll be three thousand miles away.
I got to pay my dues, you know I sing the blues;
Got to do my thing, all I do is sing rock and roll.
You know tomorrow I'll be on my way,
Flyin' through another day.
Places turn into a dream,
I can't remember where I've been.
Babe, I'd like to stop here, babe, I'd like to drop here
But in a month or so - then I will have to go,
But it does no good, still it's in my blood.
I got to pay my dues, you know I sing the blues;
Got to do my thing, all I do is sing rock and roll.
Man must do - what a man must do, no time to sit and wait;
One day he's gonna realize - that it is too late.
You know tomorrow I'll be on my own,
Flyin' through another zone.
Faces turn into a dream,
I can't remember who I've seen.
Babe, I'd like to lay here, babe, I'd like to stay here
But there's another show - and I just have to go;
Still keep it comin' through, don't know how I'll do,
I got to pay my dues, you know I sing the blues;
Got to do my thing, all I do is sing rock and roll.
"Too Late To Run For Cover"
1986 Space Songs Ltd.
The door was open, it was open wide
I took a step, I took a step inside
And it was hot, it was hotter than hell
I was looking in her face, but how was I to tell ?
The price is right, you stay all night
You'll be my lover, you got yourself another
Too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover, too late
Well it was dark, it was dark as night
But there were signs and I knew I was right
She was selling love and affection
I made a move to make the right connection
I was sold, she's double gold
I'll be your lover, you got yourself another
Too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover
The price is right, you stay all night
You'll be my lover, you got yourself another
Too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover
Too late, too late to run for cover, too late
She got me hooked, it was too late to say "no"
Don't turn your back boy 'cause she won't let go
There's no mistake, you're caught in a trap
I'm in too deep now, there's no turning back
So don't be sad, it ain't so bad
You got your lover, there ain't no other
Too late to run for cover
"Too Much"
1979 Space Songs Ltd.
Too much of what you want,
Is like getting too much of something you might need
Too much of getting your way,
Is like giving your blood when you are slow to bleed
Too much of what you need,
Is like getting too little of what you really want
Too much of what you see,
Is like getting too little of what you really need
Too much of what you need,
Is like getting too little of something you really want
Too much of what you want,
Gonna get too much - and you just can't get it no more
Too much of what you want,
Like getting too little of something that you really need
Too much of giving it away,
Like giving your burdens away but you still don't breathe - no
Too much of what you need,
Is like getting too little of something that you want no more
"Truckin' Down The Other Way"
1975 Space Songs Limited
I've been so long, on the highway with everything going my way
My head wasn't ready for you truckin' down the other way
I've been so long, on this freeway - with everybody giving me leeway
I just wasn't ready for you truckin' down the other way
Head on collision says, you got the nerve –and there’s no mistake !
My split decision said, it's too late now - to hit the brakes
Whoa, I've been so long on the byway - with everything going my way
Well I just wasn't ready for you truckin' down the other way
Better believe me when I say, that I can't run no more !
That little trucker got me coming' back for more and more and
More, more, more !
I've been so long, on the highway - with everything going my way
I just wasn't ready for you truckin' down the other way
I've been so long, on the freeway - with everybody giving me Lee way,
I just wasn't ready for you truckin' down the other way - Wow !
"Try To Be Righteous"
1975 Space Songs Ltd.
Won't you try to be righteous, try to live right
Don't you be swayed by what they tell you - oh, oh
Won't you try to be strong, try to be strong
Don't you believe you could fall
There's too much burden - oh, oh
So much lovin' to know
Oooo, and your mind will have this high
So much deep inside you, so much more to find
Don't be afraid to reach too high
"Turned Off T.V. Blues"
1973 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
It's a cold and winter's night - and the rain is fallin' down.
It's so cold, so cold outside - snow is layin' all around.
There is blackness in my window,
and the silence is the only sound.
Well I'm sittin' and I'm thinkin', though I'd like to watch T.V.
It just fills my head with garbage - that my eyes ain't s'posed to see.
Got the turned off T.V. blues now,
but I'm lonely as you see.
Well I've got a worried feelin', all the pain and misery.
Well, it's happ'nin' in the world now, even though I cannot see.
Though my body is not with you,
still my mind is runnin' free.
There's just nothin' I can do now, though I search from day to day.
But the truth's so hard to tell you, and you know it anyway.
It's a cold and wnter's evenin',
I wish my blues would go away.
"Two Time Mama"
1970 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
Two-time mama, don't you two-time me;
Two-time mama, don't you two-time me.
'Cause if you need two, you can bet your life I'm usin' three.
Two-time woman, don't tell me your lies;
Two-time woman, don't tell me those lies;
I hear your voice, but I'm lookin' right in your eyes.
