00:00His hair is never right
00:05His army looks a sight
00:07The clothes he buys don't fit tight
00:11Everybody puts him down
00:14And calls him Shy Boy
00:16The girl he's always known
00:21Lives just across the road
00:23She thinks he's super
00:26Her whole world is a little Shy Boy
00:32Shy Boy
00:39Shy Boy
00:47She is very thin
00:51Has freckles on her skin
00:53And the hair is mousy
00:57Wears glasses
00:59Takes evening classes
01:01Never dances
01:03But in the farm he walks
01:07Amongst the small-time clocks
01:09A new ghost in typing
01:12And underneath the desk
01:15A fairer swimmer legs
01:16Naughty Boy
01:18Shy Boy
01:22Shy Boy
01:26Shy Boy
01:32He makes the tea at ten
01:38And then the three again
01:40He buys her biscuits
01:42The cup she's drinking from
01:46He buys a special one
01:48To a night
01:50To a night
01:52And then he went shopping
01:54And bought a little ring
01:56He sure don't have Tom
02:00Such a sad thing
02:02She's already wearing one

02:30I used to know a lady who'd give me a ride
02:51And when she did
02:55I was just filled with pride
02:57I used to be so happy with her
03:04But now she's gone and I'm missing her
03:10Lady upon your bicycle
03:17Won't you please bring back your bicycle
03:23Every morning she would come to take me to school
03:38And when she did I'd feel extra specially cool
03:44All the kids around would envy me
03:51A boy on a lady's bike was unusual to see
03:57Lady upon your bicycle
04:04Won't you please bring back your bicycle
04:11Oh, oh, oh
04:13Now when people ask me where did your lady go
04:32I have to answer, I'm sorry, I just don't know
04:39Maybe she found a job in another town
04:45It's my suspicion she had to get married and settle down
04:52Baby, upon your bicycle
04:58Won't you please bring back your bicycle
05:05Lay me upon your bicycle
05:12Won't you please bring back your bicycle
05:18Won't you please bring back your bicycle
05:30Won't you please bring back your bicycle

09:30Hidden in her mind
09:34And she cries
09:37Every night
09:52She goes to dream
09:57Everything's alright
10:01Her mind's as is
10:06But then she wakes
10:10It was all a mistake
10:14And she cries
10:17And she cries
10:24When time went by
10:41He was there with her
10:46Smiling in her eyes
10:50She could see so well

12:07None hopes they'll do us
12:10Lots of harm
12:14That ain't mine
12:17He says you've been seen around
12:22With other guys
12:25But I don't believe him
12:29Cause I know he's only telling lies
12:34He's trying hard
12:37To make us part
12:41So that he can be where I am
12:49He won't say so much
12:53When I have found him out
12:57He'll think twice before he ever
13:01Talks so loud again
13:05He's trying hard
13:09To make us part
13:13So that he can be where I am
13:21Aaaaaah
13:26Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
13:56In her room, pictures on the wall
14:19She tries to see behind them all
14:28His face so kind hidden in her mind
14:37And she cries
14:56Every night she goes to dream
15:05Everything's alright
15:09Her mind's at ease
15:14But then she wakes
15:18It was all a mistake

20:19Shy boy, shy boy, she is very thin, has freckles on her skin, and her hair is mousy.
20:43He wears glasses, takes even classes, never dances, but on the farm he works, amongst the small-time cooks, the new girl sits high, and underneath the desk, a pair of slender legs, naughty boy, shy boy.
21:13Shy boy, shy boy, he makes a tea a ten, and then a three again, he buys her biscuits, the cup she's drinking from, he pours a special one to a nine.
21:33And then he went shopping, and bought a little ring, he shouldn't have done, such a sad thing, she's already wearing one.
21:49Shy boy, shy boy, shy boy, shy boy.
22:10Shy boy, shy boy.
22:14Shy boy, shy boy.
22:19She's one of those girls, who seems to come with the spring.
22:24One look from her eyes, and you'll forget everything.
22:30Yeah, a younger girl keeps on rolling across my mind
22:39No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to leave a memory behind
22:47I remember her eyes, some dark and brown
22:53Said she'd never been in trouble, not even in town
22:57A younger girl keeps on rolling across my mind
23:03Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
23:12A younger girl keeps on rolling across my mind
23:18Should I hang around, acting like a brother
23:25And a few more years will be just right for each other
23:29But why, if I wait, I'll just hide
23:35Yeah, a younger girl keeps on rolling across my mind
23:41No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to leave a memory behind
23:50I remember her eyes, some dark and brown
23:56Said she'd never been in trouble, not even in town
24:00The younger girl keeps on rolling across my mind
24:06She's one of those girls who seems to come with the spring
24:12One look from her eyes and you'll forget everything
24:16She's one of those girls who seems to come with the spring
24:20Tell me a story, tell me a lie
24:32How many times have I told you I'd rather you lie
24:40Then tell me the truth
24:43Still you persist in the games that you play
24:47Though I try to reason with you
24:51Can't you see it hurts me when you say you deceive me
24:55Can't you tell her who I lie and say that you need me
24:59Say when you do something wrong
25:02You can tell me a story
25:06Tell me a story
25:10Why don't you understand, I need a guide
25:17You'll help me guide, I need you every day
25:22Tell me a story
25:26Tell me a story
25:30Tell me a lie
25:52Each time you say that you see in someone else
25:59I could cry
26:00With the pain that I feel
26:03Instead can't you say that there's no one but me
26:07In your life
26:09And never will be
26:11It only takes a few kind words for you to assure me
26:15A gentle touch can really make me feel you adore me
26:19So you can see I'll be glad if you tell me a story
26:26Tell me a story
26:30Why don't you understand, I need your smile
26:37Is my peace I find, I need you in every way

27:41Won't somebody help me
27:46Understand my woman
27:49When she's feeling low
27:53Should I go
27:57Or should I stay around
28:02But I don't know
28:05If I say goodbye
28:08Would she cry
28:13Or would she laugh and walk away
28:19I wonder why
28:23Why won't somebody help me
28:29Understand a woman
28:33Won't somebody help me
28:38Understand a woman
28:42Speaking words of love
28:59Won't bring me what I need
29:03It doesn't matter how I try
29:07I'll never understand my woman
29:13If she's feeling low
29:18Should I go
29:22Or should I stay around
29:26I don't know
29:30I don't know
29:31I don't know
29:32If I say goodbye
29:34Would she cry
29:39Would she cry
29:40Or would she laugh and walk away
29:45I wonder why

30:23I don't know
30:24I don't know
30:25I've got no reason to laugh, but I'm laughing
30:30Why should I frown, cause the rent's over due
30:33Though I've got troubles, you won't catch me crying
30:38Rather, I wanna be different from you
30:41Life may get harder, it's sure to get harder
30:47And it's the same for a million or two
30:51I don't need money to make me feel better
30:55Brother, I wanna be different from you
30:59Who needs the future, it's too far away
31:06Let's have a peace of tomorrow today
31:10Who needs the future, it's too far away
31:14Let's have a peace of tomorrow today
31:18I've got no reason to think of tomorrow
31:25Wanna live now, don't see why I should wait
31:29When you're so young, gotta grab what is going
31:33Wait till you're old and it might be too late
31:37I'm feeling good
31:41And the world can't ignore it
31:43I'm not ashamed of the way that I feel
31:47Stand up and shout, life is good, I enjoy it
31:51Blackbird is singing on my windowsill
31:54Who needs the future, it's too far away
32:02Let's have a peace of tomorrow today
32:06Who needs the future, it's too far away
32:21Who needs the future, it's too far away
32:25Let's have a peace of tomorrow today
32:29Who needs the future, it's too far away
32:34Let's have a peace of tomorrow today
32:38Who needs the future, it's too far away
32:41Let's have a peace of tomorrow today
32:45Who needs the future, it's too far away
32:49Let's have a peace on tomorrow today
32:53Everything's easy when we're on our own
33:05And no one disturbs us, we're left well alone
33:10Turn out the light, the time is right
33:16We have all time to turn out the light
33:22Just you and me, and there's no one to see
33:30Lying quite still and your mind starts to wander
33:40Remember the things you did when you were young
33:47Turn out the light, the time is right
33:51We have all time to turn out the light
33:58Come fly with me, there's a place we can be
34:04We'll float on the clouds, you'll cry out loud
34:11With all that you see in your mind
34:19We'll float on the clouds
34:28We'll float on the clouds
35:35I want to go there again, and again, and again.
35:49I want to go there again.
36:19There are places I remember all my life.
36:29Though some have changed, some forever not for better, and some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments.
36:45For lovers and friends, I still can't recall. Some are dead and some are living. In my life, I love them all.
36:59But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you.
37:13And these memories lose their meaning. When I think of love as something new.
37:22Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more.
37:41I love you.
37:43I love you.
37:45I love you.
37:47I love you.
37:49I love you.
37:51I love you.
37:53I love you.
37:55I love you.
38:17I love you.
38:19I love you.
38:21I love you.
38:23I remember all my life
38:27Though some have changed
38:29Some forever, not for bad
38:33And some have gone
38:36And some remain
38:38All these places have their moments
38:42For lovers and friends
38:45I still can recall
38:47Some are dead and some are living
38:51In my life
38:55I love them all
39:21I can see her face
39:42Mirrored in the water
39:44Call it a disgrace
39:47She's only someone's daughter
39:49I can feel her clear blue eyes
39:51Burning into me
39:53Trying to reach a compromise
39:55And slowly killing me
39:57I can see her face
39:59Out of her to call it
40:01Time could not erase
40:03The memory of her falling
40:05All that was so long ago
40:08I learned to live with sorrow
40:10I was so much wiser then
40:12Will I be here tomorrow
40:14I can see her face
40:38I can see her face
40:48Mirrored in the water
40:49Call it a disgrace
40:51She's only someone's daughter
40:54I can feel her clear blue eyes
40:56Burning into me
40:58Trying to reach a compromise
41:00It's slowly killing me
41:02I can see her face
41:04And I heard her calling
41:06Time could not erase
41:08The memory of her falling
41:10All that was so long ago
41:13I learned to live with sorrow
41:15I was so much wiser then
41:17Will I be here tomorrow
41:19I can see her face
41:21I can see her face
41:23I can see sheer face
41:25I can see her face
41:26I can see her face
41:26I can see her face
