Chains

Chains, my baby’s got me locked up in chains
And they ain’t the kind that you can see
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah

Chains, well I can’t break away from these chains
Can’t run around, ’cause I’m not free
Whoa, oh, these chains of love won’t let me be, yeah

I wanna tell you, pretty baby
I think you’re fine
I’d like to love you
But, darling, I’m imprisoned by these…

Anna (Go To Him)

Anna
You come and ask me, girl
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me
So I will set you free
Go with him
Go with him

Anna
Girl, before you go now
I want you to know, now
That I still love you so
But if he loves you more
Go with him

All of my life
I’ve been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
Oh, now, but every girl I’ve ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do

Anna
Just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me, and I will set you free
Go with him

Anna
Just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me, and I will set you free
Go with him

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test tube oh oh oh oh
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?
But as she’s getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door

Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times “I must not be so” oh oh oh
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind

Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Do do do do do
Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

P.C. Thirty-One said “We caught a dirty one”
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures oh oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind

Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Do do do do do
Bang, Bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead
Wow wow wow oh!
Do do do do do

Silver hammer Max

Something

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

Don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

You’re asking me will my love grow
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around now it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me

Don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

I’ve Just Seen A Face

I’ve just seen a face I can’t forget the time or place where we just met,
She’s just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we’ve met.
Mmmm

Had it been another day I might have looked the other ways and,
I’d have never been aware but as it is I’ll dream of her tonight.
Da da

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling me back again.

I have never known the like of this I’ve been alone and I have,
Missed things and kept out of sight for other girls were never quite like this.
Da da

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling me back again.
Mmmm

I’ve just seen a face I can’t forget the time or place where we met,
She’s just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we’ve met.
Mmmm

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling me back again.

The Night Before

We said our goodbyes on the night before,
Love was in your eyes
Now today I find, you have changed your mind,
Treat me like you did the night before.
Were you telling lies on the night before?
Was I so unwise on the night before?
When I held you near, you were so sincere,
Treat me like you did the night before.
Last night is the I will remember you by,
When I think of things you did it makes me wanna cry.
We said our goodbyes on the night before,

Were you telling lies on the night before?
Was I so unwise on the night before?
When I held you near, you were so sincere,
Treat me like you did the night before.

Rock And Roll Music

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I’ve got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony

That’s why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I took my loved one over across the tracks
So she can hear my man a-wailin’ sax
I must admit they have a rocking band
Man, they were blowing like a hurricane

That’s why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Way down South they had a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They’re drinking home brew from a wooden cup
The folks are dancing and they’re all shook up

And started playing that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it
Any old time you use it
It’s gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Don’t care to hear them play a tango
And In The Mood they take a mambo
It’s way too early for a congo
So keep a-rockin’ that piano

That’s why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it
Any old time you use it
Gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Baby’s In Black

Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
And though he’ll never come back, she’s dressed in black
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?

I think of her, but she thinks only of him
And though it’s only a whim, she thinks of him
Oh how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?

Oh how long it will take
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
And though he’ll never come back, she’s dressed in black
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby’s in black and I’m feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do?

I’m A Loser

I’m a loser
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it’s true, pride comes before a fall
I’m telling you so that you won’t lose all

I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be
