Sweet Lady Anne

1.
We were both far from home
We reached out to each other
Two lonely people in a big, wide world
But my heart belonged to another
We come from different places
We're too far apart, You and I
But I have to say, girl
I want to make you mine
Chorus:
Sweet Lady Anne (x3)
2.
I fell in love with you
And your sweet ways
Now I must fly home
I don't know what to say
I remember when you kissed me
And gave me your sweet smile
I'm really sorry, but
I'm only here for a short while
Chorus
Sweet Lady Anne
I'm in love with you
Sweet Lady Anne
What can I do?
3.
You've got a sweet French accent
I told you you were great
But it's better if I leave now
Before it's too late
Don't be sad Sweet Lady Anne
Don't be blue
I'm sorry I have to go
But I'll never forget you
Chorus (x2).

Girl In The Supermarket

1.
It was a Sunday morning
After a big night
I was feeling a little seedy
I wasn't used to the sunlight
She was doing her shopping
She was dressed casually
But she still looked pretty
As far as I could see
Chorus:
Oh, girl in the supermarket
I wanna be your man
Girl in the supermarket
I hope you understand
2.
She talks on her mobile phone
She's there with her friend
I hope she remembers me
I hope I see her again
I wonder what she's thinking
Does she remember me?
There is no other way to go
As far as I can see
Girl in the supermarket
Walking down the aisle
Girl in the supermarket
I wanna make you smile
3.
I wonder what her name is
Will I ever find out?
I wanna be with her forever
'cos that's what it's all about
She is so young and pretty
So pure and so sweet
When will I see her?
When will we meet?
Chorus

Friday Night

1.
I've had one hell of a week
I can't wait 'til it's over
Everything is coming down on me
And I don't want to stay sober
The rent is due
The car is out of gas
I need to have some fun
And I need it fast
Chorus:
Friday night
I can't wait
Friday Night
Don't come late
Friday night
I'm sinking fast
Friday night
I hope it will last
2.
Maybe I'll meet a nice girl
To take away my misery
She'll be sweet
And she won't forget me
We're gonna tear up this town tonight
We're gonna have a good time
I'm gonna treat her like a lady
I'm gonna treat her so fine
Chorus
I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Maybe I'll wake up
And find it was all a dream
3'
I'm gonna play some cool music
Nice and loud
I'm gonna bring my girl
And make her feel proud
It's Friday night
And I just got paid
It's Friday night
And I'm gonna be brave
Chorus

1.
Well, standing on the street
There's a funny looking guy
Who stands there and sings
To all the people passing by
Chorus:
Jimmy sees the world go by
But nothing ever changes
Because he's been standing there
For ages and ages
2.
Jimmy blows on his harmonica
Giving out free music
And strums his guitar
Every day of the week
Chorus
3.
Jimmy sings about Peace and Love
And all that kind of scene
Jimmy's got a message for you
No matter where you've been
Chorus
4.
Next time you go past
Drop a coin in Jimmy's case
It's worth it just to see
The smile spread across his face
Chorus

1.
She works real hard
She's there at night
I wanna love her
With all of my might
When she smiles at me
I feel so good
I'd make her mine
If only I could
Chorus:
She's my takeaway princess
Bridge Road Belle
My takeaway princess
I wish I knew her well
2.
When there's a job to be done
She'll do it thoroughly
I wanna see her again
I wanna make her my baby
She's always neat and tidy
She's got class
"Will you go out with me?"
Is what I want to ask
Chorus
3.
She's always pleasant
She's never in a bad mood
Her clothes are neat and tidy
That is the truth
It's a dead end job
But she won't be there long
'cos she deserves better
That's why I wrote this song
Chorus

Let It Rain

1.
The streets are dirty
The dams are dry
We are all thirsty
There are no clouds in the sky
We all need a wash
We've got to get clean
It is time to get ready
Do you know what I mean?
Chorus:
Let It Rain
Let It Rain
Let It Rain down on me
2.
It hasn't rained for so long
We are in the middle of a drought
Come on, rain
Show us what it's all about
The world needs water
There is something going on
Can the answer be found
In the words of a song?
Chorus
3.
Clouds are gathering
A storm is brewing
Lightning strikes hard
Do you know what I'm saying?
Come on, rain
We need you so bad
Give us the best wash
That we've ever had
Chorus
