I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear
All round the world
Little children being
Born to the world
Got to give them all we can
Til the war is won
Then will the work be done
Help them to learn
Songs of joy instead of
Burn baby burn
Let us show them how to play
The pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace
Help me to learn
Songs of joy instead of
Burn baby burn
Won’t you show me how to play
The pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace
What do you say?
Will the human race
Be run in a day?
Or will someone save
This planet we’re playing on
Is it the only one?
(What are we going to do?)
Help them to see
That the people here
Are like you and me
Let us show them how to play
The pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace
Oo oo oo oo
I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear
Say say say I know I was a crazy fool Love I’m going to pick you up in the morning
What you want For treating you the way I did Love I’m going to take you out on a journey
But don’t play games But something took a hold of me I don’t know where I’m going to
With my affection And I acted like a dustbin lid But I know what I’ve been going through
Take, take, take Without you by my side
What you need I didn’t give a second thought Ooh
But don’t leave me To what the consequence might be
With no direction I really wouldn’t be surprised What good is butter if you haven’t got bread?
If you were trying to find another me What good is art when it hurts your head?
All alone, I sit home Might as well be in bed
By the phone – waiting for you, (baby) Cos the other me would rather be the glad one
Through the years The other me would rather play the fool Keep under cover til the battle has ceased
How can you stand to hear I want to be the kind of me Keep out of trouble til the prisoners are released
My pleading for you dear? That doesn’t let you down as a rule
You know I’m crying! What good’s a puzzle when you haven’t a clue
Oo oo oo oo oo I know it doesn’t take a lot What good is me when I’m not with you?
(Yeah yeah) To have a little self control Might as well stay in bed
But every time that I forgot
(Now) go go go Well I landed in another hole Keep under cover til the clouds disappear
Where you want Keep out of trouble til the weather is bright and clear
But don’t leave me here But every time you pull me out
Forever I find it harder not to see Love I’m going to pick you up
You you you That we can build a better life I’m going to take you out
Stay away If I can try to find the other me I don’t know what I’m going to do
So long girl I But I know what I’ve been going through
See you never The other me would rather be the glad one Without you by my side
Yeah the other me would rather play the fool Without you by my side
What can I do Said I want to be the kind of me
Girl to get through to you That doesn’t let you down as a rule What good is tennis when there isn’t a ball
Cos I love you, (baby) What good’s a curtain without a call
Standing here But if I ever hurt you Might as well be in bed
Baptised in all my tears Well you know that it’s not real
Baby through the years It’s not easy living by yourself Keep under cover til the battle has ceased
You know I’m crying So imagine how I feel Keep out of trouble til the prisoners are released!
Oo oo oo oo oo
I wish that I could take it back Love I’m going to pick you up
You never ever worry I’d like to make a different mood (I’m going to pick you up)
And you never shed a tear And if you let me try again I’m going to take you out
You’re saying that I’ll have a better attitude (Yes I’ll be taking you out)
My love ain’t real I don’t know what I’m going to do
Just look at my face Well I know that one and one makes two But I know what I’ve been going through
These tears ain’t drying And that’s what I want us to be Without you by my side
I really would appreciate it (Without you by my side)
You you you If you’d help me find the other me Without you by my side
Can never say
That I’m not the one And the other me would rather be the glad one Keep under cover
Who really loves you The other me would rather play the fool Yeah
I pray pray pray But I want to be the kind of me Keep under cover
Every day That doesn’t let you down as a rule Ooh
That you’ll see things Ooh Keep under cover
Girl like I do Keep under cover
The other me would rather be the glad one Keep under cover
What can I do And the other me would rather play the fool
Girl to get through to you? Said I want to be the kind of me
Cos I love you, (baby) That doesn’t let you down as a rule
Standing here Yeah
Baptised in all my tears
Baby through the years
You know I’m crying
Oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo
Say, say, say…
Look at the Average Person Hey hey It’s a tug of war
Speak to the man in the street Hey hey No no, your troubles cease
Can you imagine the first one you’d meet? Hey hey When you learn to play the pipes of peace We wasted time and again
It’s a tug of war On things
Well I’m talking to a former engine driver Hey hey No no, your troubles cease Things we already knew
Trying to find out what he used to do Hey hey When you learn to play the pipes of peace Born to do
Tells me that he always kept his engine Hey hey What with one thing and another I give my love to you
Spit and polished up as good as new It’s a tug of war
But he said his only great ambition Hey hey No no no no Whenever you get some time
Was to work with lions in the zoo That’s all Whenever you get some time
Oh to work with lions in the zoo It’s a tug of war I’d like to roll it all
No no, your troubles cease Up in a ball
Yes dear, you heard right When you learn to play the pipes of peace And spend it with you
Told me his ambition was to work with lions every night It’s a tug of war You’ve got the power of love
Learn to play the pipes of peace And love has the power to make it come true
Look at the Average Person
Speak to the man on the beat Pushing, pushing We can go….
Can you imagine the first one you’d meet? Pulling, pulling Through our love
Pushing, pulling We can do things that they said were impossible
Well I met a woman working as a waitress Through our love
I asked exactly what it was she did We can do all that we want to do
Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides We can go through our love
Wintertime she ran away and hid We can go through our love
Once she had a Hollywood audition
But the part was given to a kid Whenever you will be mine
Yes the part was given to a kid Whenever you will be mine
I want to be with you
Yes, sir, you heard right Just want to do whatever feels right
Hollywood ambition made a starlet grow up overnight You got the power of love
And love has the power to turn on the light
Well I bumped into a man who’d been a boxer
Asked him what had been his greatest night Here we go…
He looked into the corners of his memory Through our love
Searching for a picture of the fight We can see things that they said were invisible
But he said he always had a feeling Through our love
That he lacked a little extra height We can see where we are going to
Could have used a little extra height We’re going through our love
Through our love we can learn to do things
Yes, mate you heard right That they said were impossible
He always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height Through our love
We can be blessed with a better view
Look at the Average Person We can go through our love
Speak to the man in the queue We can go through our love
Can you imagine the first one is you? We can go through our love

Look at the Average Person


There is a pain
Inside my heart
You mean so much to me
Girl I love you
Girl I love you so bad
And if you leave
My pain will go
But that’s no good to me
Girl I love you
Yes I love you so bad
Well it feels so good
Sometimes it feels so bad
This is worse than anything
I’ve ever had…
There was a pain
But now you’re here
And I don’t fear a thing
Girl I love you
Yes I love you so bad
And she said
Boy I love you
Boy I love you so bad
(I love) girl I love you
(I love) girl I love you so bad
(I love, I love)
Well it feels so good
Sometimes it feels so bad
This is worse than anything
I’ve ever had…
There’s a man
Who plays the game of life so well
Ooh there’s such a man
His thoughts you can never tell
Ooh and it’s just the way
He thought it would be
Cos the day has come for
Him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks
Then rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and I’m here forever
This is the man…
And it’s just the way
He thought it could be
Cos the day has come
For him to be free
Then he laughs and kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and I’m here forever
This is the man…
There’s a man
Everybody thought they knew
Ooh there’s such a man
He’s not like me and you
Ooh and it’s just the way
She thought it would be
As he says, something has
Happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive, and I’m here forever
This is the man...
This is the man
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
This is the man
This is the man
Well they can treat you like a brother
Yeah they can treat you like a clown
But if they treat you like a lover
They’ve got the sweetest little show in town
You got the sweetest little show
Sweetest little show
Sweetest little show in town
You’ve been around a long time
But you’re still good for a while
And if they try to criticise you
Make them smile, make them smile
And if they treat you like a brother
Well you will never never let them down
But if they treat you like a lover
They’ve got the sweetest little show in town
They’ve got the sweetest little show
Sweetest little show
Sweetest little show in town
You got the sweetest little show
Sweetest little show
Sweetest little show in town
You got the sweetest little show
Sweetest little show …

There was a pain And it’s just the way

But now you’re near
And I don’t fear a thing
(I love) girl I love you
(I love) girl I love you so bad
(I love, I love)
She said
(I love) boy I love you
(I love) boy I love you so bad
(I love) girl I love you
(I love) girl I love you
He thought it would be
Cos the day has come
For him to be free
Then he laughs as he smiles
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and I’m here forever
This is the man…
Did you know
This man can do anything?
Ooh there’s such a man
I wish that we could bring
Ooh and it’s just the way
He thought it would be
Cos the day has come for
Him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and I’m here forever
This is the man…

And it’s just the way

He thought it could be
Cos the day has come
For him to be free
Then he laughs, then kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and I’m here forever
This is the man…
