Bus Stop (G. Gouldman) Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say, "Please share my umbrella." Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows under my umbrella. All that summer we enjoyed it, wind and rain and shine. That umbrella we employed it. By August, she was mine. Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop. Sometimes she'd shop, and she would show me what she'd bought. All the people stared as if we were both quite insane. Someday my name and hers are going to be the same. That's the way the whole thing started. Silly, but it's true. Thinking of a sweet romance beginning in a queue. Came the sun the ice was melting, no more sheltering now. Nice to think that that umbrella led me to a vow. verse 3 verse 1 verse 2 |

The Air That I Breathe (A. Hammond - M. Hazelwood) If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need - No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound, nothing to eat, no books to read. Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm, and tired. What more could I ask? There's nothing left to be desired. Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak. So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep. Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you. All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you. All I need is the air that I breathe. Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak. So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep. chorus |

Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress (A. Clarke - R. Cook - R. Greenaway) Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI. Sitting in a nest of bad men whisky bottles piling high. Bootlegging boozer on the west side, full of people who are doing wrong. Just about to call up the DA man when I heard this woman singing a song A pair of 45's made me open my eyes. My temperature started to rise. She was a long cool woman in a black dress, just a 5-9 beautiful tall. With just one look I was a bad mess 'cos that long cool woman had it all. I saw her head up to the table, well a tall walking big black cat. When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy. Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at. Well suddenly we heard the sirens, and everybody started to run. A-jumping out of doors and tables well I heard somebody shooting a gun. Well the DA was pumping my left hand and then she was a-holding my right. Well I told her don't get scared 'cos you're gonna be spared. Well I gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress, just a 5-9 beautiful tall. Well, with just one look I was a bad mess 'cos that long cool woman had it all. Had it all ... |
