10. Child for a Day
1.1. (Remember the Days of the) Old Schoolyard
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love ... Yes I do
Oh and I remember you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had simplicity and we had
Warm toast for tea and we laughed
And needed love ... Yes I do
Oh and I remember you.
You were my sweet love, my first sweet love
My lovely dove, my love lovely dove
No matter what place, whichever the place
I still see your face, your smiling face
In childish dreams, inside my dreams
Like King and Queen, God save our dreams
N'though time may fade, though time may fade
It ain't never too late, to learn about love
Learn about love.
Remember the days of old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of lod schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kings of things and we laughed
And needed love ... Yes I do
Oh and I remember you.

1.2. Life
Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
Love can take you by the hand
Love can drop you where you stand
But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
She can turn your head around
He can lift you off the ground
But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
Love can make it what it is
Life can change it with a kiss
Love, love, love, love.
1.3. Killing Time
People polishing guns
They've got nothing better to do
Though they think they're having fun
They're just living to die, if they but knew
Now, now.
All day long they sit at home
Waiting for the milk to come
Watch them tum into stone
Thinking 'bout the things they might have done
Now, now.
You missed the point you missed the point
Everybody's got to know
Love's the reason we're here
No matter which way you go
Love's gonna meet you there
Killing time, killing time
killing time, killing time
You missed the point
You really missed the point
Made me cry, I wonder why, why
You missed the point you missed the point
You really missed the point

Umm, but I just turn off my ears and I into the fire again

Promise me you won't ever leave or I would die so coldly
Kiss me with your eyes, please don't let it rain

1.5. (I Never Wanted) To Be a Star
I was seventeen, you were working for Matthew and Son,
(The) Beatles met the Queen, and I wrote
I'm gonna get me a gun yeah, yeah,
It was like a dream in the star machine,oh no izitso,izitso
I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to travel far
I only wanted a little bit of love
So I could put a little love in my heart.
I never to be la-de-da, go to parties 'avec le bourgeois'
I only wanted to sing my song well
So I could ring a small bell in your heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was on the road sleeping between lorry lights, oh no
Stone-drunk and cold, heading into a bad night, yeah, yeah
Just another bean in the star machine hiho,
here I go, here I go
I never wanted to be a star, buy my mum Ferrari car
I only wanted to run my own race,
So I could win a small place in your heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nature found a way, it picked me up off the dark side yeah
Showed me another day, it made me sing I think
I see the light
Not another bean in the star machine,
oh no this time I won't go
I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to travel far
I only wanted a little bit of love

1.6. Crazy
I'm crazy 'bout you baby, my my my
Your love just drives me crazy, heaven knows why
So let me love you while, the moon's still high

1.7. Sweet Jamaica
Other people come and go
They try to make it through
I have to smile and tell them no
Cause I only care for you
I only care for you
Yes, you are my sweet, sweet Jamaica
Country mama, brown country girl
When you touch me, I feel so tall
If you let me down boy, I'd be so small
Yes, you are my sweet Jamaica
Country mama, brown country girl
Everybody needs a friends
To brighten up their world
I know you'll never let me down
Cause you're not that kind of girl, no no no
I want to see you round every turn
You're my world far as I'm concerned
Got no time to runabout
Just want to spend my life out with you, only you
Yes, you are my sweet, sweet Jamaica
Country mama, brown country girl
Oh, yes, you are
Sweet Jamaica, oh brown country girl, ooh.

1.8. Child for a Day
I was a child
Who ran full of laughter
I was a child who lived for today.
My eyes full of sunshine
My heart full of smiles
I was a child for a day
We were the children
Who sang in the morning
We were the children
Who laughed at the sun
Who listened to those who spoke with their wisdom
We are the ones who we would say, but
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with every day
We were the children of yesterday.
We are the men who worry of nothing
We are the men who fight without aim
Who listen to no-one, yet speak of our wisdom
We are the pawns in the game
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with every day
We were the children of yesterday.
I was a child
Who ran full of laughter
I was a child who lived for today
My eyes full of sunshine
My heart full of smiles
I was a child for a day
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with every day
We were the children of yesterday.
