A Quick One

[Chorus]

Run, run, run

Run, run, run

Run, run, run

Run, run, run

[Verse 1]

Well baby, better take my advice

A black cat crossed your path twice

The moon came out next to the sun

Then you opened your umbrella in a room

[Chorus]

You better run, run, run

Run, run, run

Run, run, run

Run, run, run

[Verse 2]

Well, you ain't the luckiest girl I know

And you won't get luckier the way you're going

Your horseshoe's rusty and your mirror's cracked

You walk under ladders then you walk right back

[Chorus]

You better run, run, run

(Pack your bags and go)

Run, run, run

(You better believe me)

Run, run, run

(You better go)

Run, run, run

[Verse 3]

When you dropped that little pin

Never thought what a mess it would get you in

Little pin, little pin, bring me luck

Because I've stopped to pick you up

[Chorus]

You better run, run, run

(Yeah, baby)

Run, run, run

(Pack your bags and go)

Run, run, run

(Oh, you better go)

Run, run, run

[Verse 4]

Well now, little girl, I'm helping you

I hope you believe what I say is true

Whenever you run, I'll be running too

Whenever you run, I'll be following you

[Chorus/Outro]

You better run, run, run

Run, run, run

Run, run, run

Run, run, run...

[Verse 1]

Look, he's crawling up my wall

Black and hairy, very small

Now he's up above my head

Hanging by a little thread

[Chorus]

Boris the spider

Boris the spider

[Verse 2]

Now he's dropped on to the floor

Heading for the bedroom door

Maybe he's as scared as me

Where's he gone now? I can't see

[Chorus]

Boris the spider

Boris the spider

[Bridge]

Creepy, crawly, creepy, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

[Verse 3]

There he is, wrapped in a ball

Doesn't seem to move at all

Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure

Pick this book up off the floor

[Chorus]

Boris the spider

Boris the spider

[Bridge]

Creepy, crawly, creepy, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

[Verse 4]

He's come to a sticky end (Creepy, crawly)

Don't think he will ever mend (Creepy, crawly)

Never more will he crawl 'round (Creepy, crawly)

He's embedded in the ground (Creepy, crawly)

[Chorus]

Boris the spider

Boris the spider

[Verse 1]

Knowing

Is what people tell you

That you're thinking wrong

Embrace you

But they really mean "So long"

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You talk to them

They laugh aloud

Yet they run to you

In any crowd

[Chorus]

Please talk to me again

I need you

[Verse 2]

We're dancing

We will come and dance near you

We want to learn

Let us come and sitar with you

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Distort my ears when

The music's loud

Yet you raise your hatchet

In the yellow crowd

[Chorus]

Please talk to me again

I need you

[Verse 1]

Knowing

Is what people tell you

That you're thinking wrong

Embrace you

But they really mean "So long"

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You talk to them

They laugh aloud

Yet they run to you

In any crowd

[Chorus]

Please talk to me again

I need you

[Chorus]

Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time

He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine

[Verse]

Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one

Seemingly I must be mad, insanity is fun

If that's the way it's done

Doctors say he just a figment of my twisted mind

If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind

Two men dressed in white collected me two days ago

They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go

Whiskey Man will waste away if he's left on his own

I can't even ring him cause he isn't on the phone

Hasn't got a home

Life is very gloomy in this little padded cell

It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well

[Chorus]

Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time

He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine

Just fine

[Chorus 1]

Heat wave

Heat wave

[Verse 1]

Whenever I'm with you

Something inside

Starts to burn deep

And my heart's filled with fire

Could be that I'm very sentimental

Or is this just the way love's supposed to be?

[Chorus 2]

I got a heat wave

Burning in my heart

I can't keep from crying

Tearing me apart

[Verse 2]

Sometimes she calls my name

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain

I feel, yeah I feel

I feel this burning flame

This high blood pressure's got a hold on me

Because this is the way love's supposed to be

[Chorus 2]

I got a heat wave

Burning in my heart

I can't keep from crying

Tearing me apart

[Bridge]

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Just give me another chance

This could be a new romance

[Chorus 1]

Heat wave

Heat wave

Heat wave

Heat wave

[Verse 1]

Don't go and hide

Yesterday you were my girlfriend

If you do

My inside goes around and around in a whirlwind

[Chorus]

There's a stone in my shoe

So I can't catch you up

My head's in a lion's mouth

Wants to eat me up

Right here today

Don't look away

I've always been true

And I still love you

So don't look away

There's a lot you can do

To get me away

You've got to stay

Don't look away

Don't look away

[Verse 2]

I once heard you say

If I ever was down you would help me

Now my head's being chewed up

You tried to pretend that you don't see

[Chorus]

There's a stone in my shoe

So I can't catch you up

My head's in a lion's mouth

Wants to eat me up

Right here today

Don't look away

I've always been true

And I still love you

So don't look away

There's a lot you can do

To get me away

You've got to stay

Don't look away

Don't look away

[Verse 3]

I've always been true

And I still love you

So don't look away

There's a lot you can do

To get me away

You've got to stay

[Outro]

Don't look away

Don't look away

Don't look away

Don't look away

Don't look away

6 ContributorsSee My Way LyricsSome way, some day, I'll find a way

To make you see my way

Even if you don't think like I do

You know that it's true

It's your mind that I seek

Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad

Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad

I'm glad it's goodbye

You don't have to ask why

Come back another day

Come back when you see my way

You see my way

Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad

Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad

Some way, some day, I'll find a way

To make you see my way

I'm glad it's goodbye

You don't have to ask why

Come back another day

Come back when you see my way

You see my way

You see my way

So sad about us

So sad about us

Sad that the news is out now

Sad, suppose we can't turn back now

Sad about us

So bad about us

So bad about us

Bad - never meant to break up

Bad - suppose we'll never make up

Apologies mean nothing

When the damage is done

I kissed a few and once did sit

On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap

And later with him, had a nap
