The gambling song - CLIFF RICHARD

The gambling song - CLIFF RICHARD

The wheels forever spinning
The dice are thrown and scatter
The words are all of winning
But only numbers matter

We bet on our existence
We'll last another round
The lucky go the distance
The losers go to ground

From birth to death we gamble
The lots are daily cast
No warning or preamble
Which one will be your last

There is a great comfort in pure hatred
For envy's not enough, not enough
The soothing joy of malice
Is made of sterner stuff, sterner stuff
The failure of a father
The torment of a son
Is a recipe to justify
The worst that could be done

He'll destroy us unless we call a halt
Should the bastard steal our birthright
It will be our fault

The race is won by cunning
A terrifying dance
Too complex in the running
To leave it all to chance

But chance is all we're given
So chances we must take
The gambler's stake is driven
Through hearts that dare not break

But all save one are broken
As fatal points are scored
And one surviving token
Holds sway across the board

There's a moment when the game's balance
Tilts the other way, the other way
When the odds begin to favour
Outsiders in the play, in the play
The failure of incumbents
The sleazy tricks they use
Mean that those who think they call
The tune can only lose

Deal the cards, it won't matter how they fall
Because nothing is a gamble when you want it all

Gee whizz it's you - CLIFF RICHARD

Gee whizz it's you - CLIFF RICHARD

Well, who's that a-walkin' down the street
Pickin' up those dainty little feet
Who's the one that catches my eye
Everytime she passes by - gee whizz it's you

Ever since we said goodbye, all because of a little white lie,
Let me tell you why we parted, let me tell you what my heart says,

Chorus
Gee whizz it's you, you're the one that's makin' me blue
Gee whizz it's you, you're the one who can't be true

Little darlin' won't you hear my plea
Won't you please come back to me,
We can pick up where we started, listen now to what my heart says,
Ummmm - gee whizz it's you..........

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Little darlin' won't you hear my plea
Won't you please come back to me,
We can pick up where we started, listen now to what my heart says,
Ummmm - gee whizz it's you..........

Gee whizz it's you

Gee whizz it's you

(Fade Out)

Girl, you’ll be a woman soon - CLIFF RICHARD

Girl, you’ll be a woman soon - CLIFF RICHARD

I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl, and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down
And I never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"The guy's no good"
Well, I finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get the chance, they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, I've done all I could
Now it's up to you

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, but soon you'll need a man

Give a little bit more - CLIFF RICHARD

Give a little bit more - CLIFF RICHARD

Well I can see - that you weren't givin' enough
That you weren't givin' as much as me
With all your small talk - bendin' the rules
Are you runnin' before you can walk
I've got the feelin' you've been runnin' around
You've gone and left behind the feelin' we'd found
Too much too soon too much too soon
Too much too soon

Well can you get excited by what you see
You've been takin' my love
You should be giving it back to me
Give a little bit of love like you did before
Give a little bit more (give a little bit more)
Give a little bit more (like you did before)
Give a little bit more

In a photograph you didn't put me in the picture
My lovin' just made you laugh I was wide eyed
Taken right in I can't understand why you lied
I've got the feelin' you've been runnin' around
You've gone and left behind the feelin' we'd found
Too much too soon too much too soon
Too much too soon

Well can you get excited by what you see
You've been taking my love
You should be giving it back to me
Give a little bit of love like you did before
Give a little bit more (give a little bit more)
Give a little bit more (like you did before)
Give a little bit more
-solo-
I've got the feelin' you've been runnin' around
You've gone and left behind the feelin' we'd found
Too much too soon too much too soon
Too much too soon

Key change

Well can you get excited by what you see
You've been taking my love
You should be giving it back to me
Give a little bit of love like you did before
Give a little bit more (give a little bit more)
Give a little bit more
(like you did before)
Give a little bit more

Give me love your way - CLIFF RICHARD

Give me love your way - CLIFF RICHARD

Got every reason to feel like I do
From the top of my head to the bottom of my shoes
'cos last night my baby took the weight off my mind
Told me everything was gonna be fine

She said she loved me
I'm never gonna be without the love she promised to give me
'cos she says every night, hold me tight, forever is right
Love is bright, moon delight, she's outa sight
Give me, give me, give me love your way

She could have resisted my efforts to pry
But she knows how I feel and she's not exactly shy
Though right now I'm lonely I know it won't be long
I can hear the train comin' bringin' lovin' along

She said she loved me
I'm never gonna be without the love she promised to give me
'cos she says every night, hold me tight, forever is right
Love is bright, moon delight, she's outa sight
Give me, give me, give me love your way

Ooh I used to be so lost and confused
I stumbled through knowing that each door I tried
Was closed before me and knowing that I cried
But still I didn't rest I had to know
What was behind it all I'd come so far
And then I saw her note I couldn't believe she wrote

I couldn't resist it being beside her
Could have held that moment forever in my heart
The moment I saw her was the moment I knew
That her love is my life and her light's shining through

She said she loved me
I'm never gonna be without the love she promised to give me
'cos she says every night, hold me tight, forever is right
Love is bright, moon delight, she's outa sight
Give me, give me, give me love your way

Ooh I used to be so lost and confused
I stumbled through knowing that each door I tried
Was closed before me and knowing that I cried
But still I didn't rest I had to know
What was behind it all I'd come so far
And then I saw her note I couldn't believe she wrote
