Leslie Mendelson Swan Feathers Lyrics Sheet

1. I Know You Better Than That (L. Mendelson, S. McEwan) Have A Cup of Tea Music (BMI), EMI Blackwood Music Inc. o/b/o itself and Birds With Ears Music (BMI)

I'm a little crazy on you I can't help myself Tell me what am I supposed to do You're a little hard on me I guess you don't want me to see How honesty gets the best of you baby chorus: You say you don't mind one way or the other Whether we're apart or we're together You think that you're so cool with your whatever You put on quite an act But babe I know you better than that

You look at me and then you look away As if there's a price to pay For giving me a little time Still you follow me around As if I'm the only face in the crowd I'm your every sight, I'm your every sound chorus

Come on baby give it up, give it up (2x) chorus

2. So Far So Bad (L. Mendelson, S. McEwan) Have A Cup of Tea Music (BMI), EMI Blackwood Music Inc. o/b/o itself and Birds With Ears Music (BMI)

Why do you always, always tell me something When you're doing something else You say that we share everything When you're keepin' things to yourself What do you take me for, do you think That I get fooled so easily These days run away from me When I think about chorus: Whatever you do I am always reminded of All we've been through and how I've been blinded ‘til now I guess I've been had So far so bad

Why do we keep things keepin’ on When it's long gone And we should knock it on the head

Leslie Mendelson_Swan Feathers_Lyrics Don't tell me to get back into bed, oh no chorus

Good has nothing to do with it And great doesn't even come near So bye bye my dear chorus repeat

Whatever you do now lately And all that you put me through I said whatever you do now lately What have I got myself into I guess I've been had, been had So far so bad

3. Rest Of London (S. McEwan) Steve McEwan (BMI)

I'm going underground With the rest of London I'm going down, down With the rest of London What will become of you Who knows just what will become of me I'm going underground With the rest of London

I ride the buses and trains Just to get to you love I suffer pains and delays Just to get to you love Something's so hard to believe in There's more chance of watching my ship come in I'm going underground With the rest of London

I live through these years ‘Cause I believe in you I live through these fears ‘Cause I believe in you One day soon you know A change is gonna come With the morning sun I cannot stand Much more of these faces

Something's so hard to believe in There's more chance of watching my ship come in I'm going underground With the rest of London

4. I See Myself With You (L. Mendelson, S. McEwan) Have A Cup of Tea Music (BMI), EMI Blackwood Music Inc. o/b/o itself and Birds With Ears Music (BMI)

Leslie Mendelson_Swan Feathers_Lyrics Maybe tomorrow Maybe today It's a matter of time ‘Til you'll be mine Forever and always You can see You see right through I see myself I see myself with you

I can see us staying up all night Rolling ‘til the morning light And sleeping in ‘til way past three I can see us years and years from now Don't know where, I don't know how But it seems natural to me chorus

So before we're way on down the line We can get it right this time I just want to spend my life with you chorus

You can make me laugh When things are getting heavy You never seem to mind When I bring my troubles ‘round You take me as I am I'm always good and ready chorus

‘Cause even when we fight We spend more time making everything alright chorus

Leslie Mendelson_Swan Feathers_Lyrics ‘Cause when we get together there's something in the air I used to fight it but now I just don't care chorus: How did you do it I never understood How further education Could ever feel this good Crossing every t Connecting every dot You don't even know what you got Baby how'd you hit the spot

We're stealing kisses in the corner Can I make a plea Got no time for inhibitions baby This drink’s on me Tell me what you’re having Come on let's make it two We got so much to talk about Before the night is through ‘Cause when we get together There's perfect chemistry Anyone can feel it, anyone can see chorus

Like the archer hit the apple babe Like a bullet straight through the heart

‘Cause when we get together There's perfect chemistry Anyone can feel it, anyone can see chorus

7. If I Don’t Stop Loving You (L. Mendelson, S. McEwan) Have A Cup of Tea Music (BMI), EMI Blackwood Music Inc. o/b/o itself and Birds With Ears Music (BMI)

The banners are all coming down Now that you're leaving town It's getting cold again But life must still go on Even though I know it won’t be long Until I'm torn again So why am I still thinking of you When I know that I just don't belong to you I'm preparing to meet my doom It's gonna come one day soon If I don't stop loving you

I saw the warning signs Long before our hearts aligned But I couldn't stop myself I loved every inch of the ride And somehow you crept up inside Where I could forget myself But why am I still thinking of you When I can't have you although I want you Pretty soon I'll be lost in the rain My world quietly slipping away And I'll only have myself left to blame If I don't stop loving you

If I don't stop loving you There’ll be hell to pay If I don't stop loving you

Leslie Mendelson_Swan Feathers_Lyrics The band will refuse to play

So why am I still thinking of you When I know that I just don't belong to you I'm walking a very thin line With the devil just one step behind And I'll be slowly going out of my mind If I don't stop loving you

8. Turn It Over (L. Mendelson, R. Jost) Have A Cup of Tea Music (BMI), Rob Jost Music (ASCAP)

I can paint you a picture anytime We don't need the t.v. set to unwind You can turn the lights down low And I will pour the wine chorus: Come on baby let's turn it over Let's turn it over Let's turn it over and play the other side

I've got an itch for satisfaction A little marvin to turn us on We can let it play on out While the night is still so young chorus

Sunday paper Scattered everywhere across the floor Steppin’ on headlines Who's to blame about this bloody war All of the pictures Just put ‘em away I just want a little more time with you today

We ain't got no money We won't for a while So I'll put something on To make you smile And if it makes you cry Well, baby that's all right chorus

9. No Easy Way Out (L. Mendelson, S. McEwan) Have A Cup of Tea Music (BMI), EMI Blackwood Music Inc. o/b/o itself and Birds With Ears Music (BMI)

We could fly right over the talk The talk of the town And nobody would ever know If we were around Watching them looking for us Where we couldn't be found Wasting their time

But somehow we got ourselves lost At the end of the street Tangled and twisted our bodies Caught up in the heat Everything perfect but somehow We missed the beat We crossed the line

Leslie Mendelson_Swan Feathers_Lyrics chorus: And now there's no easy way out (3x) For us tonight No easy way out But somehow it will be alright

Love has a habit of setting you up for a fall One minute high as a kite Then you're feeling so small Free as a bird and then feeling Chained to the wall We lost our minds chorus end vamp

11. Goodnight (L. Mendelson, S. McEwan) Have A Cup of Tea Music (BMI), EMI Blackwood Music Inc. o/b/o itself and Birds With Ears Music (BMI)

The crowd drifts away The music's beginning to fade The last notes have been played As we drift out of sight From a young girl selling a rose Where the neon lights’ flicker were closed On a street where nobody goes When they turn out the lights Oh but you and I Well our future looks bright But for now, goodnight

It won't be long There's something inside us so strong And we both know we belong And we'll hold on tight Like a child with a big balloon Like the earth holds on to the moon Like Eve on a hot afternoon taking a bite And if you don't go now we just might So for now, goodnight

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Is that the time Just one more glass of wine And I probably will make you mine But it wouldn't be right One day our flame will ignite But for now, goodnight
