Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo-doo doo
Hey, Carrie Anne
Hey, Carrie Anne

When we were at school our games were simple
I played the janitor, you played the monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing

[Chorus:]
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play

You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing

[Chorus]

You're so, so like a woman to me
Oh like a woman to me
So, so like a woman to me
Like a woman to me

[Chorus]

People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying

[Chorus]

Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne

And the power you have over
Won't ever let me be
It's always holding me to you
And the strange things you say to me
Why do you play with me
It's just too sad to see

[Chorus:]
Stop right there
Tell me what you're doing to my mind in there
Tell me what you're doing Am I blind
Long ago everything about you was for me to hold
Now my thoughts about you won't stay cold

And in time I might slip away
Into the light of day
But with you I must stay it's true
Wishful thinking will just bring me down
It's plain to see you own
The ground I'm standing on

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window
Reminds of her
When I hear pitter-patter the rain on the window

It was raining hard
The trees looked bare the night I met her
She was wet her hands were cold
The wind blew through her hair

Though I'd known her quite a long time
We were just good friends
So it didn't seem so strange
Inviting her back home

We sat by the fire
The flames brought out something in her
Melting all the cold
Projecting warmth I never knew

As the rain beat on my window
Did she understand
That in the glow of dying embers
Everything was planned

Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
Pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter

We made love later on that night
While the rain beat on my window
I can't forget the things that happened
While the rain beat down on my window

Next time I saw her
I knew she didn't want to know me
If I disappointed her
I think she should have told me

Can't she understand
I only tried to be a man
She made me feel so ashamed
Of everything I am

When I hear pitter-patter
The rain on the window
Reminds of her

My sadness it is growing
I'm sure it's started showing
This feeling's getting stronger
I can't hold back out much longer
It's swelling deep inside
Emotions I can't hide

[Chorus:]
Then the heartaches begin
I'm telling you
The heartaches begin

I need someone to guide me
Someone to reconcile me
To take away this pain
Before it starts again
But no one listens to me
Can't control what's set in deeply

[Chorus]

Four stone walls surround me
An empty shell's all you see
My former self's departed
A man who's broken hearted
Loneliness is what I fear
Holding on to all that's dear

[Chorus]

I'm telling you child

I press my nose against the pane
Of the little toffee shop
Day after day I save my pennies
To spend at the toffee shop

Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock
I stand on the cold stone street
A penny every day that I have saved
To buy myself some sweets

The nice little lady old and grey
With glasses and shawl
Gives love away to good little boys
Who do as they are told

She's always telling stories
Of her childhood days
She couldn't buy the things that I can
For families in those days

Imagine the sweets that I can buy
With six pennies of my own
I always take my time to choose
The sweets that I'll be taking home

Gobstoppers in my pockets
Brown sugar in my hand
Lollies you suck that last all day
And sugar that looks like sand

When you love somebody that means a lot
And so you give the best of what you've got
It's a reason for living to have someone
Without a love in your life you can't go on

You need love I need love

When you're tired and worn out she'll run to you
And calm your restlessness and comfort you

You need love I need love

No wonder that I always say
I can't live another day without you
I tell my friends I'm feeling fine
Then they know that I'm not lying about you

All your life you'll know that your trust was right
When you're holding her close to you at night

You need love I need love

You say that you want me
I've no cause to doubt you
My friends tell me different that's all
They say that I'm blind
But I know all about you
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall

I seem to be hypnotized by all your beauty
A subject to your beck and call
Your arms magnetize me
When I'm here beside you
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall

Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time

Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time

What is it about you that tempts me and taunts me
I can't understand it all
If I try to leave you I know that you'll haunt me
I know that I'm heading for a fall
I know that I'm heading for a fall

Well I heard your mother say
What a pleasant boy you're going with
That I don't mean any harm
And I only want to play
Though I know she's just protecting you
You're just a little girl
Well if your mother only knew the games we play

When I take you home with me
All the family get along with you
Sitting all through tea
Wondering what we're gonna do
Leaving us alone
The temptation's far too strong
If your family only knew the games we play

Are you sure we're getting away with this
You cannot fool your mother or your father for long
Only time will tell
If they are right and we are wrong

[Repeat]

They know the games we play
There's no hiding things like this from them
We know we're not the first
And we'll never be the last
Everybody gets hung up
We might have to pay
And everybody knows the games we play

[Chorus:]
Would you like to slide down a rainbow
Catch a falling star in your hands
Chase a moonbeam right by your window
Close your eyes and you'll be there

In a land of dragons and castles
Be a knight in armour that shines
On a horse with trappings of silver
Close your eyes and you'll be there

You will be there
Hoping that no one
Will come and wake you up
You will be there
While the mooning is peeping
As you lie a-sleeping
In your dream world

[Chorus]

See the witches fly on their broomsticks
Stirring cauldrons casting their spells
Kisses changing frogs into princes
Close your eyes and you'll be
Close your eyes and you'll be
Close your eyes and you'll be there

You say that you want me and now that you've got me you're gone
Think what you're doin' or else you'll regret what you've done
Don't come back tomorrow and say what we did wasn't right
You'll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night

[Chorus:]
Have you ever loved somebody
Don't you know just what it's like
Hurting someone that you're close to
Have you ever loved all night all night

Remember what happened the last time that you said goodbye
Remember the saying that once bit and I'll be twice shy
It's no use me crying there is no denying it's right
When thinking has ruined the feeling that we had to fight

[Chorus]

If you hear people talking now
Will you laugh or cry
If you cry I'll sympathize with you
If you laugh I'll die
If you laugh I'll die

[Verse 1]

[Chorus 2x]

If I see the light's on in your room
If I see the light's on I call on you
It's a signal that he's gone
So I'll call you when your light's turned on

And I'll be happy to wait up until he goes
And I'll be happy to wait up until I know
That the coast's clear it's all right
So I'll call you when your light's turned on

Everything you say about me gets right home
That's why I put up with you this way
Everything you say about me gets right home
I wish that he would go and I could stay

That the coast's clear it's all right
So I'll call you when you're light's turned on

[Verse 3]

Just for how long can our love go on like this
If you thought more about me you'd end all this
But when your light's on it's all right
So I'll call you when you're light's turned on

I've just come in from out of the rain
It's wet outside the water runs down a drain
I go to bed 'cause my head's full of pain

And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

Outside the window there's a pipe wearing thin
It lets the water do a dance on a tin
I try to sleep but it's making a din

And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

Water on the brain water on the brain
Water on the brain water on the brain

Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

I toss and turn and my patience is weak
Go to the bathroom door and I take a peak yeah
The bath tap has started a leak

And drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild
Drip drip it's driving me wild

White chalk, written on red brick.
Our love, told in a heart.
It's there, drawn in the playground.
Love, kiss, hate or adore.

I love Jennifer Eccles.
I know that she loves me.
I love Jennifer Eccles.
I know that she loves me.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la.

I used to carry her satchels.
She used to walk by my side.
But when we got to her doorstep,
Her dad wouldn't let me inside.

One Monday morning, found out I'd made the grade.
Started me thinking, had she done the same?

I love Jennifer Eccles.
I know that she loves me.
I love Jennifer Eccles.
I know that she loves me.

I used to carry her satchels.
She used to walk by my side.
But when we got to her doorstep,
Her dad wouldn't let me inside.

I hope Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there.
Our love is bound to continue.
Love, kiss, hate or adore. Singing,

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la.

I love Jennifer Eccles.
I know that she loves me.
I love Jennifer Eccles.
I know that she loves me.

Leaves come falling on a winter's day.
Robins weep and watch them sail away.
Floating on the water is autumns last farewell.
These are signs that will never change,
Signs that will never change.

Rivers once were frozen now they're free
Showing winter's going rapidly.
Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell.
These are signs that will never change,
Signs that will never change.

The changing faces of the seasons
Are those that cannot be compared
Except in love it sometimes happens
Love grows but all too soon it dies.

Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell.
These are signs that will never change,
Signs that will never change.
Signs that will never change

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin'
Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin', smilin'

Wake in the mornin', look out of my window
Down on the street as the people pass by
Wonderful faces, awake but asleep
Rushing around with appointments to keep
Rushing around with appointments to keep

Bald-headded banker, with bowler on head
Credit for debit still in the red
School girl in pigtails and freckly nose
Tryin' to remember her latin prose
Tryin' to remember her latin prose

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin'
Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin', smilin'

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Isn't it surprisin' what you'll find?

[Break]

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
What are they thinkin'? What's on their minds?
Are they all lookin' for somethin' to find?
Decreasin' circles, running around
Searchin' for somethin' they've already found
Searchin' for somethin' they've already found

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin'
Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin'

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people
