THAT'S HOW MUCH I NEED YOU NOW
R. Wyatt

I need you more than ever now
Where the trees grow
That's where my love died
That's where you can hide
That's now much I need you now

I feed you more than leaves are brown
Where the sun shines on my feet
That's where my love died
That's where you can hide
That's now much I need you now

I need you more than ever now
Where the trees grow, tree
That's where my love died
That's where you can hide, yeah
That's now much I need you now
That's now much I need you now



I SHOULD'VE KNOWN
H. Hopper

You may laugh at me, girl
Say I don't deserve
All the things I've had - sad...

I should've known it wouldn't last
But things were happening so fast
I'll never know just how it stayed so long
I should've known it, should've seen at the time
But when you're happy, don't you know that you're blind?

I should've known it wouldn't last, no
But things were happening so fast
I'll never know just how it stayed so long
I should've known it, should've seen at the time
But when you're happy, you don't know that you're blind - don't you know?
No - yeah...

You may laugh at me, girl
Say I don't deserve
All the things I've had - sad...



JET-PROPELLED PHOTOGRAPH
K. Ayers

How far can anyone go and to where?
How much can anyone do and to whom?
Oh, oh, oh, girl - I'm so low, girl
What can I do? I believe in you!

How far can anyone go and to where?
How much can anyone do and to whom?
Oh, oh, oh, girl - I'm so low, girl
Take a look around, what's that you found?

There'll come a time
When you won't understand
The position on



WHEN I DON'T WANT YOU
H. Hopper

When I don't want you
Why do I stay here?
You're not the one
For me

Is it because girl
You know you say that you need me
And you cry when I say
When I say that I'll go?

And I'm tired
Baby, I'm tired by your tears
They don't reach my ears anymore
No, not anymore



YOU DON'T REMEMBER
R. Wyatt / D. Allen

Could almost see her eyes
Is it me she despises or you - or you, girl?
You're awfully nice to me
And I'm sure you can see what her game is - it's me, girl!

She sees you in her place
Just as if it's a race and you're winning - me, girl!
She just can't undertsand
That for me everything's just beginning - with me, girl!

But before this feeling dies
Remember that I told you lies...

Now I love your eyes - on me, girl
See how the time flies - past me, girl
She's learning to hate
But it's just too late for me - for me, girl
It was the same with her love
It just wasn't enough for me - for me, girl

But before this feeling dies
Remember that I told you lies...



SHE'S GONE
K. Ayers

Baby's fine, baby's mine
You understand that she's gone

I said hold me tight, stay tonight
My little woman has gone

Won't you let me walk with you
Talk with you, make love to you?
Won't you let me hold you tight?
Stay tonight!

Baby's fine, baby's mine
My little woman has gone - yeah, she's a teeny-bopper!



I'D BE RATHER WITH YOU
K. Ayers

If I had to choose between the two
I'd rather be with you, I'd rather be with you
(Yes I would)

If you keep on breaking up my mind
You won't like what you find
Won't like what you see - see, see...

I want you, love
I really do - I do, I do...

Tell me now before you change your name
Why aren't you more insane?
You think you're civilised
Close your eyes, close your eyes
