A nice warm cup of tea

just a nice warm cup of tea
could you make it for me?
i'm asking nicely

a nice warm cup of tea
and a biscuit
it's not like i ask for it very regularly
just a cup of tea
would go down nicely

*
i'm not feeling very sexy
but if it came from you
a cup of tea
would do it for me
it's not like i'm asking for it constantly

a nice warm cup of tea
won't you hear my plea?
would you brew it for me
just occasionally
 baby

*
a nice warm cup of tea
and not too sugary
if i asked politely..
a cup of tea..?

one thing to say (song)

It's one thing to say
another thing to do

you say you love me
well i love me too

You say you're sorry
well I'm sorry too

and one of us is missing
but we don't know who

+


It's one thing to say
another thing to know

the voices ring out
like the stones we throw

the path that we're leading
is the smoke that we show

is the path of the dove
or the path of the crow

+

one thing to say
a truth to a power

and those in the ivory tower

hate those in the golden tower

The man in the golden tower

hates those of the ivory tower

and he likes a golden toilet
probably likes a golden shower

+

It's on thing to say
another thing to do

i got it all worked out
gonna sing it to you

The only piece that doesn't make sense

is one blue shoe

and the thing that you left

in the portable loo

+

it's one thing to say
another thing to cry

+


He says he'll take good care
of your things while you're away

leave it with him
while you go out and play

Well my advice is to not believe
one word that he'll say

Cause he will sell everything
on the very first day

+

She said I'm leaving
I said well I'm coming too

She said I'm leaving
He said well I'm coming too

Cause my life
is without nothing without you

Cause my life
is without nothing without you

+
you drove the tanker
to the city at dawn

i'll wait by the tree
for the smoke or the horn

my body is bare
and my clothing is torn

and burned and bloody
from the rose and the thorn

+
one thing to say
anther to understand

Cause i may be young
but not too young to understand

Before you cross the road daddy
take my little hand


that life is what happens
when you're in a big rock band


+

All of your wishes
are blowing around

O all of your wishes
moaning and dying

I'd sooner vote for him
than be lying here crying

and into all our ointments
this fly is aflying

+

She said I

I love you

He said I think we're going

to have to see this whole thing through
