How Wonderful You Are - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

I go out most nights attracted by the lights
Listen to the jazz at Harry’s bar
And I know it won’t be long before they play that song
Do you know how wonderful you are?
It’s a sentimental sound that make me wanna fool around
With somebody who is wishing on a star
I’ll pull my hat down low go up and say hello
Do you know how wonderful you are?
I’ve always struggled with the art of conversation
And there’ll be those for whom the song has no appeal
But I know it works for me and I’m sure you will agree
That it illustrates exactly how I feel
Things can happen fast and some things are built to last
I’ve seen it all go down in Harry’s bar
And though we’ve only just begun this show will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are?

All The Time In The World - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

What does it matter if it’s a quarter to two?
The love of my life has been long overdue
What does it matter if it’s three or it’s four?
Don’t even try to make sense of it all
I guess I got all the time in the world 
Guess I got all the time in the world 
So lock me up in heaven and throw away the key 
‘Cos if that’s what they call home sweet home 
Then it’s home sweet home to me 
Must be the only place to be 
Am I still dreaming am I asleep? 
How did I get in to this water so deep? 
What does it matter if it’s five after five? 
You’re giving me the time of my life 
[chorus] 
Whether the skies are cloudy or blue 
You’re showing me just how little I knew 
I used to wander aimlessly 
To some other place I thought I had to be 
[chorus]

Voodoo Dance - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

Whenever you do that voodoo it puts me in a trance 
Why don’t you do that voodoo dance 
Whenever you do that voodoo it puts me in a trance
C’mon and do that voodoo dance 
Loving you makes perfect sense 
It’s one on one in the present tense 
It’s a whirlpool I’m gonna dive on in 
Bolt the door dim the lights let the carnival begin 
[chorus, etc] 
You’re a masterpiece of modern art 
You got a sacred soul in a sacred heart 
Yeh I’m in love with you and it’s my thing 
I thank my lucky stars for the wonderland I’m in 
[chorus, etc] 
And whether or not it’s magic I’m in the hands of the divine          
Whether or not it’s magic I get a tingle down the spine 
And it’s just the way I like it 
Tell me what am I to do tell me what am I to do with you? 
[chorus, etc]

Freeway To Her Dreams - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

Her secrets in her shoulder bag
They’re sewn into the seams
Is a journey that she has to take 
On the freeway to her dreams 
She asks herself how come my life’s forever in a spin 
And she hides a tiny photograph in an old tobacco tin 
She keeps her make-up in a box with its lid of tortoiseshell 
I caught a glimpse inside it once of a jewel beneath the veil 
I loved her then I love her still though it’s not what she believes            
One day I hope she’ll see me there on the freeway to her dreams            
Her secrets in her shoulder bag They’re sewn into the seams
And the journey takes her on and on 
On the freeway to her dreams 
And one day I hope she’ll see me there 
On the freeway to her dreams

Sunshine In The Night - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

Super Souls and golden hearts sure are hard to find 
In this cold and cruel world they soon get tossed aside 
Diamond pearls and pots of gold are few and far between 
And a love that's made in heaven is so very seldom seen 
Lovely Lady what have I done? 
I've got the sunshine and moonlight rolled into one 
I throw my hands up to heaven and praise Him for the light 
For who else could have sent me 
The Sunshine in the Night 
All of my uncertainty was gone without a trace 
It melted from the moment I saw the sunlight on your face 
I was running scared on empty, barely keeping pace 
But you brought me to a standstill treasuring your grace 
Malinda Malindalay Malinda Malindalay

Al Capone - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

I’m gonna be your jack of diamonds 
Never leave you all alone 
You can cry upon my shoulder 
I wanna be your Al Capone 
Gonna love you ‘til the morning 
Gonna be there through the night 
‘Cos you’re the only one who ever make me feel 
Everything will be alright 
It’s gonna be alright Make everything alright
I’ll be your knight in shining armour 
Like those guys in Hollywood 
Wrapped around like cinerama 
Let me be your Robin Hood 
I’m gonna show you San Francisco 
It’ll thrill you to the bone 
And drive you back up to Chicago 
I wanna be your Al Capone 
Then we’ll put on Frank Sinatra 
In our two door black sedan 
The rain can hammer at the windows 
And you can say that I’m your man 
Make everything alright Make everything alright 
It’s gonna be alright

Feelin Loose - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

I don’t know where my next dime is coming from
Don’t know which way I’m gonna turn
I’ve been in and out of that frying pan so long I stand aside and let it burn
Never was concerned when all they ever ask is Have you anything to show
Well… I threw away my fear of flying such a long long time ago
And I’m feeling loose I’m feeling loose
I’m feeling loose I’m feeling loose
And I’m not going down ‘til I’m dead
Cos I’m in way over my head
And I won’t put my head in the noose
While I’m feeling loose
Feeling loose I’m feeling loose
Don’t ever like to think I know where I will be
Don’t worry about the years ahead
Don’t have any expectations don’t worry ‘bout what’s being said
To get tied up in hussle and using my muscle
Well it seemed to big a price to pay
When all I ever really wanted was what I’ve got right here today
And I’m feeling loose [etc]
Too much of anything just weighs me down
I much prefer to travel light
Too many people wanna talk about who is wrong and who is right
I ain’t gonna do it I see right through it
It’s what brings everybody down
I’m gonna take my chances on tomorrow
‘Til they put me in the ground
And I’m feeling loose [etc]

There Goes My Heart Again - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

And I don't know where I'm going now
Where to start or even how
Something so good is at an end
And I won't be seeing her again
And I don't think I'll be hanging round
Something inside just hit the ground
There's nothing here for me to mend
And I won't be seeing her again
There goes my heart again
Back to the start again
If only I knew then
What I know now
But if you see her say hello from me
Though I don't know where I am gonna be
I'm kinda losing my identity
She was the greater part of me
And I don't know where I'm going now
Where to start or even how
All good things must come to an end
And I won't be seeing her again

Roll With It - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

You can tell the truth or you can bend it
You can give your heart or merely lend it
But when you give me that look I hear what you're saying
So don't shake your head it ain't no use
It's just the thrill you can't refuse
No don't shake your head it ain't no use
It's just the thrill you can't refuse
Once you start it up you can't blame it
‘Cos once it's all warmed up you're never gonna tame it
You can roll those eyes but I still feel it
And the last thing on your mind is how to conceal it
[Chorus, plus…]
You gotta learn to roll with it
And you'll never get over it
You got an appetite so why not feed it
It's gonna taste real good you're gonna wanna eat it
And it ain't make believe once you've seen it
You can give it all you got and really mean it
You can twist those words but I still understand it
And you can act real cool it still looks like you planned it
When you get half a chance you're gonna take it
‘Cos in your heart you know we're gonna make it

Someone I Knew - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

These are sunny days in many ways
I'm sailing on through a smoky haze
I still believe in love that's true
When I think about someone I knew
I sing to folks I feel I know
In all the places lonely people go
They smile and say we've been there too
When I think about someone I knew
I taste the wine and it feels alright
And somebody's always there to take me home each night
And the hardest thing is knowing what to do
When I think about someone I knew
I treat them well and it's too bad
'Cos you know they love me just the way I wish you had
And peace of mind's long overdue
When I think about someone I knew
These are early days and you can bet
Though it's been over so long, it still ain't over yet
I still believe that love was true
When I think about someone I knew
And the hardest thing is knowing what to do
When I think about someone I knew
And peace of mind long overdue
When I think about someone I knew

A Little Help From You - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

Anytime you want to talk it through
I’ll be sitting waiting for my cue
If there’s anything I can do for you
I won’t be happy ‘til you’re by my side
Only you can keep me satisfied
Loving you is all I’ve ever tried to do
But every time I ask you to dance
I’m just to shy to talk romance
So just a little help will do I’m looking for
A little help from you
Since I first saw your face
I’ve danced for days and thought of ways I could tell you
But it’s so hard to do the closer I get to you
‘Cos everytime I ask you to dance
I’m just to shy to talk romance
So just a little help will do I’m looking for A little help from you

All In The Scheme Of Things - Music and Lyrics by Gordon Haskell

All the Pharaohs got together
When things went on the skids
They said before we go we oughta let them know
It was us who built the Pyramids
But it was all in the scheme of things
The shape of things to come
Without that cog the thing won't run
And you don't climb that ladder
You're just the rung
Cos it was all in the scheme of things
The shape of things to come
Aristotle hit the bottle
And Plato loved the blow
He said one plus one plus one is fun
And left a note for Michelangelo
Your theories like Pythagoras
Were there for you to use
While you explored the triangle
I learned to sing the blues
