Tony Carey - Tekstovi Pesama

A FINE FINE DAY;When my Uncle Sonny blew back into town
Said "I'll just go for a ride
and have a look around"
And he took off his fedora
and stuck his fingers in the crown
And he pulled out 20 dollars
and he laid that money down

And he called out to a taxi cab
"Take me down to Central Park
and keep that meter running
to the 20 dollar mark"
And he kept his eyes turned forward
and he sat up straight and tall
And no one even noticed him
no one cared at all

(chorus)
It's a fine fine day
for a reunion
It's a fine fine day
for coming home
You did your sittin'
you did hard time
But you ain't gonna sit no more
they can't keep you there no more
It's a fine fine day
And nothing's gonna take you
nothing's gonna take you away
It's a fine fine day, fine day

First time I saw Sonny
I was just about this tall
And he always made my Momma
kinda crazy when he'd call
Him and my old man would
stand and whisper in the hall
Then they'd disappear
and maybe not come home at all

Then one day Sonny stopped coming around
Heard he'd gotten himself into
a little trouble in town
Sometime after that he
finally disappeared for good
Then he pulled that old Houdini
like we always knew he would

(chorus)

(ooh ooh, a fine fine day, fine day)
(ooh ooh, a fine fine day, fine day)

I see you made it back alright, alright
I see you're none the worse for wear
It's been a long time comin'
Nothing's gonna drag you away from here

A fine fine day
And nothing's gonna take you
nothing's gonna take you away
Oh yeah, a fine fine day, oh yeah
a fine day

A ROOM WITH A VIEW;Well he used to be a tailor
Sew those suits so fine
And he never heard of failure
And he never tasted wine
And he used to be a leader
When he had someone to lead
And he used to be a father
When he had some mouths to feed

And they say it never rains in LA county
But it gets cold enough to wish you had a few
And he laughts tonight and says
"I finally found me a room with a view
How about you"

He was living in a castle
That he built with his own hands
Out of newspaper and cardboard
He was living off the land

COMES THE FLOOD;Let's talk it over
let's be blunt

I don't wanna say this more than once.
But we've been fighting out on too many fronts

we got lost somewhere.
You cut and run away wherever you can

You think what's wrong is something I won't understand.
Well
here I am amd babe
I'm holding out my hand

And I really do care.

There is only one way out of here

There is only one thing we must fear.
Only one voice in my ear.
So
listen very well here wherever you are.

Let the rain come washing over you

Comes the flood
I'll be right there next to you.
Let the rain come washing you down
let it wash right over you

Comes the flood
comes the flood
I'll be right there next to you.

It felt like heaven when we left that town

Seemed like salvation all the way around.
I thought my feet would stay six inches off the ground

We had a love
babe.

I look you over
and I have to look away

I can't stand to see you hurting that way.
Why won't you see that I am with you all the way?
You're my blood
babe.

There's only one way out of here
...

Let the rain come washing over you
...

ROOM WITH A VIEW;Well
I used to be a tailor

Sewed those suits so fine

And he never heard a failure

And he never tasted wine.
And he used to be a leader
When he had someone to lead

And he used to be a father
When he had some mouths to feed

When he had some mouths to feed


And they say it never rains in L.A. county

But it gets cold enough to wish you had a few.
And he laughs tonight and says: I finally found me -
A room with a view - how about you?

He was living in a castle that built with his own hands
Out of newspaper and cardboard he was living off the land

He was living off the land
he was living off the land.

And they say it never rains in L.A. county
...

And he used to be a leader - and he used to be a father -

THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER;Well the kid and me
were the team to beat
We could stand up to the big boys
generate some heat
And we never thought nothin' about
livin on the street back then

Yes sir, we lied a little
and we maybe stole some, sayin'
"Southern California here we come"
and we took off down the highway sayin'
"Never goin' back again"

(chorus)
It was on the first day of summer
(first day of summer)
we were the number one outfront runner
(first day of summer)
On the first day of summer
nothin' feels the same
and it feels so good
It was on the first day of summer
(first day of summer)
It was on the first day of summer
(first day of summer)
On the first day of summer
the whole world knows your name
and it feels so good

Now the kid was drivin'
and I rode shotgun
We were splittin' up the money
from our number ones
beatin' time to the radio
Yes I'm gonna be someone

Campin' by the road
out in Santa Fe
The kid stole the keys
and he drove away
I wound up washin' dishes
at a Holiday Inn
Sometimes I wonder
what became of him

(chorus to fade)
