Cat Stevens: Where do the Children Play
----------------------------------------


Well I think it´s fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Get what you want to if you want, ´cause you can get anything.

I know we´ve come a long way,
We´re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can´t get off.

Oh, I know we´ve come a long way,
We´re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play

When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air.
Will you keep on building higher
´til there´s no more room up there
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die

I know we´ve come a long way,
We´re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play

I´m looking for a hard headed woman
One who´ll take me for myself
And if I find my hard headed woman
I won´t need nobody else, no, no, no
I´m looking for a hard headed woman
One who´ll make me do my best
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed, yes, yes, yes
I know a lot of fancy dancers
People who can glide you on a floor
They move so smooth but have no answers
When you ask "why´d you come here for"
I know, many fine feathered friends
but their friendliness depends on how you do
I´m looking for a hard headed woman
one who´ll make me feel so good
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know my life will be as it should, yes, yes, yes

Now that I´ve lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
and it´s breaking my heart you´re leaving, baby i´m grieving
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby baby it´s a wild world
It´s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it´s a wild world
I´ll always remember you like a child, girl
You know i´ve seen a lot of what the world can do
And it´s breaking my heart in two
´Cause I never ant to see you sad girl, don´t be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there´s a lot of bad
and beware, beware
Oh baby baby it´s a wild world
It´s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it´s a wild world
I´ll always remember you like a child, girl
Baby i love you, but if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there´s a lot of bad
And beware, beware
Oh baby baby it´s a wild world
It´s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it´s a wild world
I´ll always remember you like a child, girl

Cat Stevens: Sad Lisa
---------------------


She hangs her head and cries on my shirt.
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what´s making you sad, Li
Open your door, don´t hide in the dark.
You´re lost in the dark, you can trust me.
´Cause you know that´s how it must be.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

Her eyes like windows, trickle in rain
Upon the pain getting deeper.
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall.
Lost in her hall, she can´t hear me.
Though I know she likes to be near me.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

She sits in her corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her.
If she really wants me to help her.
I´ll do what I can to show her the way.
And maybe one day I will free her.
Though I know no-one can see her.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

Miles from nowhere
I guess I´ll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there.

Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won´t need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere
Guess I´ll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
´cause I know when I find it my honey
It´s gonna make me feel good

I love everything
So don´t it make you feel sad
´cause I´ll drink to you, my baby
I´ll think to that, I´ll think to that.

Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it´s alright

I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yeah, the ones that I choose

Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won´t need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere
I Guess I´ll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there.

I don´t want to work away,
doing just what they all say,
"Work hard boy and you´ll find
one day you´ll have a job like mine."
´cause I know for sure nobody should be that poor.
To say yes or sink low,
because you happen to say so, say so, you say so.
I don´t want to work away,
doing just what they all say.
"Work hard boy and you´ll find
one day you´ll have a job like mine,
job like mine, a job like mine.
Be wise, look ahead, use your eyes,"
he said, "be straight, think right."
but I might die tonight!

Longer boats are coming to win us,
they´re coming to win us, they´re coming to win us.
Longer boats are coming to win us, hold on to the shore,
or they´ll be taking the key from the door.

I don´t want no god on my lawn,
just a flower I can help along,
´cause the soul of no body knows,
how a flower grows how a flower grows.

Longer boats are coming to win us,
they´re coming to win us they´re coming to win us,
Longer boats are coming to win us, hold on to the shore,
or they´ll be taking the key from the door.

Mary dropped her pants by the sand,
and let a parson come and take her hand,
but the soul of no body knows, where the parson goes.
Where does the parson go

Longer boats are coming to win us,
they´re coming to win us, they´re coming to win us.
Longer boats are coming to win us, hold on to the shore,
or they´ll be taking the key from the door.

I built my house from barley rice,
Green pepper walls, and water ice,
tables of paper wood, windows of light.
And everything emptying into White.

A simple garden, with acres of sky,
a Brown-haired dogmouse if one dropped by.
Yellow delanie would sleep well at night,
With everything emptying into White.

A sad Blue eyed drummer rehearses outside,
a Black spider dancing on top of his eye,
Red legged chicken stands ready to strike.
And everything emptying into white.

I built my house from barley rice,
Green pepper walls, and water ice...
And everything emptying into White.

Well, I left my happy home
to see what I could find out.
I left my folk and friends
with the aim to clear my mind out.

Well I hit the rowdy road
and many kinds I met there,
many stories told me
of the way to get there, ooh.

So on and on I go,
the seconds tick the time out,
there´s so much left to know,
and I´m on the road to findout, ooh.

Well in the end I´ll know,
but on the way I wonder
through descending snow,
and through the frost and thunder,

I listen to the wind come howl,
telling me I have to hurry.
I listen to the robin´s song
saying not to worry, ooh.

So on and on I go,
the seconds tick the time out,
there´s so much left to know,
and I´m on the road to findout, ooh.

Then I found myself alone,
hoping someone would miss me.
Thinking about my home,
and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me.

But some times you have to moan
when nothing seems to suit yer,
but nevertheless you know
you´ve locked the door towards the future, ooh.

So on and on you go,
the seconds tick the time out.
There´s so much left to know,
and I´m on the road to findout, ooh.

Then I found my head one day
when I wasn´t even trying,
and here I have to say,
´cause there is no case in lying, lying.

Yes the answer lies within,
so why not take a look now,
kick out the devil´s sin,
pick up, pick up a good book now, ooh.

Yes the answer lies within,
so why not take a look now
kick out the devil´s sin,
and pick up, pick up a good book now, ooh.

It´s not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
You´re still young that´s your fault,
there´s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I´m happy
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy
to be calm, when you´ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot, think of everything you´ve got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
Chorus:
How can I try to explain when I do he turns away again
it´s always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
now there´s a way and I know I have to go away
and I know I have to go
Verse:
It´s not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
(I) (know) (I have)
You´re still young, that´s your fault, there´s so much you have
(to make this)
to go through
(decision) (alone)
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to you can marry
(know)
Look at me, I am old, but I´m happy
(stay) (stay, stay)
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
(why) (must) (you go and make this de-
It´s hard, but it´s harder to ignore it.
cision) (alone)
If they were right, I´d agree, but it´s them they know, not me
Now there´s a way, and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Bring tea for the tillerman,
Steak for the sun,
Wine for the woman
who made the rain come
Seagulls sing your hearts away,
´cause while sinners sin
the children play,
Oh lord how they play and play,
For that happy day
for that happy day
