  Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall (Paul Simon)
Recorded by Some People
1971 - Pye 7N45037 / Dawn (Go Away)
____________________________________________
Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

It's no matter if you're born
To play the King or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

  I Will See You There (Blaikely)
Recorded by The Dreams
1968 Dolphin / A Boy Needs A Girl
________________________________________
La-la-la...I will see you there.
La-la-la...I will see you there.

Hand me a case, save me a place
Wear your dress with the bows of lace,
Try to arrive with a smile on your face
I will see you there.

La-la-la...I will see you there

Say I won't be home before I'm there,
Tell them that I have to wash my hair
I will tell the man not to take me away

Mention my name, keep it the same
Join the party and make the game,
I will be later to take all the blame
I will see you there.

La-la-la...I will see you there...

  Back At The Lodge
Recorded by The Philosophers
1969 - Pye 7N17700 / Don't Hold Me Back
______________________________________
When the snow is blue again
In the winter moonlight
Can I walk with you again,
Back to the lodge?

When the crowd will be again
Singing in the firelight
Will you stay with me again
Back at the lodge?

Love to feel you close to me
Cuddle by the blaze,
Wouldn't mind at all if we were
Snowbound for days.

Just to show you how I care
Left alone and true love
Part of all my dreams somewhere
Back at the lodge.

  What In The World's Come Over You?
Recorded by The Chessmen
Pye 7N15976 / There's Nothing To It
____________________________________
What in the world's come over you?
Seems we never get along,
Every night I reminisce
Dreaming of your gentle kiss

What in the world's come over you
Could you ever change your mind?
If you do I'll still be here dear,
Waiting, longing for you.

Oh all my life I've loved you so baby,
You know I never dreamed I'd miss you so,
But now I'm so all alone and blue each night
My heart, my life is just not right,

What in the world's come over you?
You're still my angel from above,
Guess you'll always be my one and only,
My one and only true love

Ah you know baby,
No matter what you do,
No matter what you say,
Always gonna be.......(ad lib)

  Turn Out The Light (Lindsay)
Recorded by The Creatures
Columbia 4-43480 / It Must Be Love
_______________________________
Turn out the light dear
Let's see what you can do.
You say alright dear
I'm gonna take back you,
'Cause I really gotta know.

Okay you say, you say
You'll never let me go;
On our special night,
Holding me tight,
Turn out the light

Turn out the light dear
Let's see what you can do.
You say alright dear
I'm gonna take back you,
'Cause I really gotta know

Okay you say......
