THE OTHER SIDES OF GILBERT O'SULLIVAN

'B' SIDE INTRO

Now that you've turned me over

Make way for a little surprise

For I'm not really a b-side

I'm a C with two capital Ys

And the name of this song incidently

Is the title of which you'll see

They've printed in capital letters

Just below the hole in me

MR. MOODY'S GARDEN

Every day's a holiday in Mr. Moody's garden

Where little girls say pardon and how do

You do my name is Nosey and this is me sister really (really)

Good she is at saying Choo Choo

Now just across the lawn is Pat

Sitting on his favourite hat

Waiting for the barber to arrive

And if he doesn't come today

Pat will shout (hip hip hooray)

Ain't it grand to be alive

When every day's a holiday in Mr. Moody's garden

Where little girls say pardon and how do

Ye do my name is Nosey and this is me sister really (really)

Good she is at saying Choo Choo

Now lying on the garden fence

Is a man (at great expense)

History tells us will outgrow his youth

But only until such a time

He finds out why he's been lying

And then of course he'll tell the truth

'Cause every day's a holiday in Mr. Moody's garden

Where little girls say pardon and how do

Ye do 

Now down among the Partridge trees

Lives a "Don" who loves his knees

So much so he's framed them in a jar

And if by chance one should escape

Then "to put on" must in it's place

Eat half a pound of shredded tar

'Cause every day's a holiday in Mr. Moody's garden

Where little girls say pardon

And Bill and Ben found stardom

While playing John Wesley Harding

Who looked just like Pierre Cardin's answer to

Choo Choo

EVERYBODY KNOWS

Everybody knows that the world is round

That is everybody 'cept me

'Cause I ain't been told

So why should I be forced to believe

That the feet I wear are meant to bare

Pieces of leather that shine

No that can't be true

'Cause I can find a piece to fit mine

When I walk down town 

Dressed up like a clown

People they just burst into tears

Lift their heads and whisper in my ears

Cover up your toes 'cause everybody knows

When I walk down town 

Dressed up like a clown

People they just burst into tears

Lift their heads and whisper in my ears

Cover up your toes 'cause everybody knows

That the state we're in is about to begin

And it that's not enough you try

To balance a plate

While eating any granny's smelly mince pie

When I walk down town 

Dressed up like a clown

People they just burst into tears

Lift their heads and whisper in my ears

Cover up your toes 'cause everybody knows

CALL ON ME

When you're feeling blue

You don't know what to do

Just call on me

I'll make it worth your while

I'll always be at home

You'll never be alone

As long as I'm there with you 

By your side

Now when the moon is high

Above there in the sky

Just knock upon my door

And I'll be with you

No matter where you go

Just come and let me know

I hold your hand

And when alone I'll kiss you

With you I feel happy

When I know that  I'll never change my mind

With me you can be

Any hour (any hour), day or night (day or night)

Call on me girl, (call on me)

Anytime you like, like

So if you feel today

You'd rather get away

To someplace where you know

You won't be lonely

Just call on me and see 

How happy you will be

I'll make you feel 

You life's just for me only

With you I feel happy

When I know that I'll never change my mind

With me you can be

Any hour (any hour), day or night (day or night)

Call on me girl, (call on me)

Anytime you like, like

So if you feel today

You'd rather get away

To some place where you know

You won't be lonely

Just call on me and see

How happy you will be

I'll make you feel

You life's just for me only

And from all of us here

It's goodbye

I'll now hand you over to the 'A' side

I hope that you enjoyed my little 'B'

If you haven't well what can I say

Except I hope that you like the 'A'

If you haven't well what can I say

Except I hope that you like the 'A'

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME

You don't have to tell me

You've got something on your mind

Because I've seen it there

So many time before

And you don't have to tell me

Just what it is that's on your mind

For I'm inclined to agree with me

There must be something wrong

A subtle breeze

A stand at ease

Won't dislocate my arm

But what could and quite easily would break my heart

Is you implying that this time I'm (sorry)

I have gone too far

But if that's true

Then why are you acting as you are

So you don't have to tell me

You've got something on your mind

Because I've seen it there

So many time before

And you won't have to tell me

Just what it is that's on your mind

For I'm inclined to agree with me

There must be something wrong

A subtle breeze

A stand at ease

Won't dislocate my arm

But what could and quite easily would break my heart

Is you implying that this time I'm ( sorry)

I have gone too far

But if that's true

Then why are you acting as you are

So you don't have to tell me

You've got something on your mind

Because I've seen it there

So many time before

And you don't have to tell me

Just what it is that's on your mind

For I'm inclined to agree with me

There must be something wrong

GOOD COMPANY

My doctor told me if my headache gets much worse

The best thing that I can do is get myself a nurse

Let her give me the kiss of life and after that

You watch my headache disappear three seconds flat

And as you know, I don't really want you to go (no, no)

For I would much rather you stay with me

Be on hand when I need good company

The other morning I forget now where I'd been

Some fella cornered me said "hey man what's your scene?"

I told him frankly that I wasn't in a play

And that if I was I wouldn't give my scene away

And as you know I don't really want you to go (no, no)

For I would much rather you stay with me

Be on hand when I need good company

Altogether everybody turn and touch your toes

When I stop to give the signal

That's when I would like you

That's when I would like you

To go ooh, ooh

Muhammad Ali better known as Cassius Clay

Boy what a boxer he was and still is today

I had a go myself once thought that I was him

But unlike Muhammad baby I could never win

And as you know I don't really want you to go (no, no)

For I would much rather you stay with me

Be on hand when I need good company

Much rather you stay with me

Be on hand when I need good company

A VERY EXTRAORDINARY SORT OF GIRL

She could take a leaf upon a tree and turn it into gold

Just as she could take a piece of rope which on it's own will fold

You see, she's a very extraordinary sort of girl

Why don't you take a stone and eat it just as if it were a cake

You could be surprised to see the sort of things that she can make

You see, she's a very extraordinary sort of girl

Who is just the same as you and she

In every way with quality she's perfect

But if you take her out

Remember she can break your heart in two

But she'll put it back, glue it together, make it look brand new

You see, she's a very extraordinary sort of girl

Why don't you take a stone and eat it just as if it were a cake

You could be surprised to see the sort of things that she can make

You see, she's a very extraordinary sort of girl

Who is just the same as you and she

In every way with quality she's perfect

But if you take her out

Remember she can break your heart in two

But she'll put it back, glue it together, make it look brand new

You see, she's a very extraordinary sort of female, woman

You know the type

CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND

You know what's right baby, I know what's wrong

Turn off that light baby and I'll turn you on

There's no denying and I've got to concede

You're casting a spell of some kind

It's breaking my heart every time we're apart

I just can't get you out of my mind

Don't be like that baby, be like you are

Don't wear that hat baby, it looks like a scarf

People go hungry for something to eat

It happens I'm told all the time

I don't know for a fact, all I do know is that

I just can't get you out of

No I just can't get you out of

I just can't get you out of my mind

We'll make the headlines as the world's greatest pair

Taylor and Burton they had better beware

We'll make each other happy too

Don't say you don't think so

Don't make me have to go

Don't leave me in a spin

Make me your everything, everything, everything

You'd make a man like me so happy I know

And I'd do my best to make you happy also

We'd make each other happy too

Don't say you don't think so

Don't make me have to go

Don't leave me in a spin

Make me your everything, everything, everything

Where there's a will baby, must be a way

Where there's a match on, what can I say

Two things mean more to me than anything else

And both are just one of a kind

When were playing away, even during a game

I just can't get you out of

No I just can't get you out of

I just can't get you out of my mind

No matter what you say, no matter what you do

There's got to be a way, a way to get to you

JUST AS YOU ARE

Now you may not be the world's

Most beautiful, glittering glamorous star

But you're all in the world that I'll ever need

And I love you just as you are

Now Sophie Loren and yourself have in common

Really nothing whatsoever so far

But then who needs biggies when with a pair like Twiggy's

I love you just as you are

When you do away, even for a day

I would like it to be known

That I wish that you could stay

Now the day we got married

You'll remember I carried you

Over the threshold of Mooney's bar

Where in between every round

You fell flat out on the ground

Still I love you just as you are

 I love you just as you are

Not to mention Mick and you brother Vic

Who I hear have settled have down after two years in the nick

Take it away Semprini

When you do away, even for a day

I would like it to be known

That I wish that you could stay

So you may not be the world's

Most beautiful, glittering glamorous star

But you're all in the world that I'll ever need

And I love you just as you

Love you just as you are

 I love you just as you are

SAVE IT

Save it for your children

This love that you have got

Forget me now that I am sure

It's you that I want not

Save if for your loved ones

Who come to you each day

No matter what you do to them

They'll never have to say

That I don't love you anymore

Still I don't care

Somebody else can love you more

I won't be there

Save it for another

Who's asking for your love

The only one who knows the truth

Will never know enough

Save it for the priest then

Who might one day say to you

"Do you take this man for your husband?"

Answer him "I do"

And you'll be happy

Just like I was when I left you

There's only one thing

Left for me to do forget you

And I will so help me

Ever if it means that I'll have to

Take a trip abroad

Where it's thought perhaps the change

Might do me good 

Knew it should

Save it for the morning

That starts another day

If you have learnt your lesson

Someone else won't have to pay

Save it and remember

Your carefree days are through

No longer can you take somebody

And break his heart in two

For everyone knows

That you treated me unfair

Although I think about you inside me

I don't care anymore

TOO BAD

It's too bad you couldn't come

It's too bad you decided to stay away

(Too bad baby)

It's too bad you couldn't come

It's too bad I really thought you were okay

(Too bad baby)

You admit you were wrong

That you knew all along

Yet you still had the nerve

To go leading me on

It's too bad baby

But not especially for me

It's no good us going on

It's no good you trying to soft soap me

(No good baby)

It's no good I'm telling you

It's no good all we ever do is disagree

(No good baby)

What am I supposed to do

How can I forgive you

If you won't even bother

To tell me the truth

It's no good baby

But not especially for me

I wanna say I've enjoyed

All the night we've employed

And the pleasure it's given me

But I cannot except with the greatest respect

Anybody to two timing me

Do I make myself perfectly clear

It's too bad you couldn't come

It's too bad you decided to stay away

(Too bad baby)

It's too bad you couldn't come

It's too bad I really thought you were okay

(Too bad baby)

Said you'd be there at nine

Well I got there on time

But you didn't show up

Because you changed your mind

It's too bad baby

But not especially for me

Too bad for you and not for me

(Too bad baby)

And not for me

(Too bad baby)

Too bad for you and not for me baby

Too bad baby

Too bad baby

OUR OWN BABY

We both know each other for well over a year

During which time we've shed many a tear

 But throughout it all one thing is clear

 I still love you, love you, love you, love you

 You more than hold the key to my happiness

Therefore, I suggest, why don't we get together

 Once and for all, who knows baby

Next year a stork might call

 Present us with a beautiful sight to see

Our own baby

All my life I never asked for very much

Never felt the need to take what I could touch

My ambition was without any fuss

To be happy, happy, happy, happy

Well judging by the time

I'm having with you

I'd say it's come true

Now why don't we get together

Once and for all

Who knows baby next year a stork might call

Present us with a beautiful sight to see 

Our own baby

We'll give it everything that money cannot buy

We'll take it with us everywhere we go and why

Because we love it

That's right

I may not be as handsome as a king

But looks aren't everything

Now why don't we get together

Once and for all, who knows baby

Next year a stork might call

Present us with a beautiful sight to see

Our own baby

 Our little one

 Our own baby

It's bound to be a son

 Just like his father before him

IN OTHER WORDS

Well come on everybody it is time we were going

I've got a whole lot of lovin' and it's suddenly growing

I get up, I go out, I come in , roundabout

After that ain't no doubt

You can never skin a rabbit when he's off and running

In other words

He's so cunning

I say love what ye doing if ye don't mind me asking

You either lead me to ruin or leading me in passing

Either way I propose with a ring I suppose

After that heaven knows

No matter how you go about it

It's the same old story

In other words

Love and glory

In other words

Same old story

In other words

Love no glory

Don't mind people eating fast food

Don't give a damn about the damn cube

Except when a kid of maybe nine demonstrates how

You get up, go to school

Pay attention to rules

If you're smart don't be cruel

You can never for what ever reason

Move a mountain

In other words

Just go 'round them

In other words

Move a mountain

In other words

Just go 'round them

Don't mind people eating fast food

Don't give a damn about the damn cube (you're never there)

Well come on everybody it is time we were going

I said I love what you're brewing but I care what you're growing

I get up, I go out, I come in , roundabout

After that ain't no doubt

You can never skin a rabbit when he's off and running

In other words

He's so cunning

In other words

Same old story

In other words

Love and glory

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN

Well little beau peep didn't lose any sleep

Trying to make it with the sheep of the town

What she did instead was to lose her head

While they put her in sox of a human catapult

Going down, down, down, down, down

Going down, down, down, down, down

Going down, down, down, down, down

Stanley had a girlfriend

Who was given to him

Which would take him on a journey around

Well all he had to do was to see

I presumed to a fella who was known as Doctor Livingstone

Going down, down, down, down, down

Going down, down, down, down, down

Going down, down, down, down, down

You better listen to me girl

I've got nothing to say

You better watch your step 'cause baby

I could very easily run away

Mary had a lamb chop for her dinner

But her supper fell to the ground (off)

So every day for dinner she got to spend

Every penny she got doing I don't know what

Going down, down, down, down, down

Going down, down, down, down, down

Going down, down, down, down, down

You better listen to me girl

I've got nothing to say

You better watch your step 'cause baby

I could very easily run away

Well little beau peep didn't lose any sleep

Trying to make it with the sheep of the town

What she did instead was to lose her head

While they put her in sox of a human catapult

Going down, down, down, down, down

Going down, down, down, down, down

Going down, down, down, down, down

IN A NUTSHELL

I'll may leave you for just a second

Just a second if that's okay

May last a little under an hour

All depends on how long I stay

Only when it's someone who's close does

Cancer hit you just like a bomb

Must be the only the disease on earth

Guaranteed to kill everyone

Watching and waiting, mistaking the pun

For one that was never intended

Once they assure you it's all based on fact

You can be sure it's invented

I've got nothing but for tomorrow

No no don't get me wrong what I mean

It's not that I'll will be without my clothes

But that if you want me well I'll be free

Wishing and hoping and hoping and praying

That it will soon stop raining

There's nothing worse than a cricketer's ball

Stuck in the mud complaining

I may wake up to find you sleeping

Not in your bed but mine I know

It's only a dream but what's wrong with that (ain't it)

Better than finding you on the floor (ain't it)

Better than finding you on the

For in my room there's someone's ceiling

 Not only that but there's someone at the door

Will they stop it well, I unlock it well

In a nutshell

I, I won't

TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT

I had a woman that loved me true

To cut a long story short

We got married on our honeymoon

To cut a long story short

Now we're together I'm afraid no more

To cut a long story short

Like billions of other people we're divorced

To cut a long story short

I don't believe that you can possibly 

Give more than you get

Unless you talk about taxation 

And the money that you care to bet

When I've got a problem I wanna solve

To cut a long story short

I simply go out and have a game of golf

To cut a long story short

But I read a book that the book was great

To cut a long story short

It got a fine class of people like the chamber maid

To cut a long story short

I don't see how you could possibly

Take what you can get

When to gain what you take

And then you really got to sweat

I don't believe that you can possibly 

Give more than you get

Unless you talk about taxation 

And the money that you care to bet

I've got a girlfriend her name is Jill

To cut a long story short

She doesn't take chances

So she takes the pill

To cut a long story short

I'm really positive that she is mine

To cut a long story short

Now I'm getting married for the second time

To cut a long story short

I don't see how you could possibly

Take what you can get

When to gain what you take

And then you really got to sweat

AS LONG AS I CAN

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I don't know if you don't know me

I don't know if you do or not

I don't know if you don't know me

You might do and then again you might not

You might do but then again

You might not you might not

And I've seen so many peculiar incidents in my life

Like the time a fella got married to a fella

He called his wife

(Did they make a handsome couple?)

Well how are we to know

What happens when they want a child

Isn't that what keeps a marriage alive?

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

As long as I can

And I've seen some how can I put this

Funny things in my life

Like the time a woman said sorry to a man

She stabbed with a knife

And in view of all of this nonsense

I think it's only fair

To point out that despite its faults

England still has HP sauce

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

YOU BETTER RUN

I never thought that I'd live to see the day

And here am I in love and the feeling is great

And nothing can persuade me to give it a rest

And when I see your love light I suggest

You better run, you better hide

And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrived

You better run, you better hide

'Cause the truth don't matter

A man's gonna get you inside

(No, no, is gonna get you inside, inside)

Met you for the first time

Thought you were great

Met you for the next and I knew right away

Nothing can excite me the way that you can

And when I get that feeling, tired as I am

You better run, you better hide

And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrived

You better run, you better hide

'Cause I am not gonna sit around waiting my turn

Always been a weakness far as I'm concerned

This time I'm gonna take the bull

Don't say that you're not the one

Don't it grab you by the horns

By the horns

Been a lot of hearts beating well out of time

Nothing odd about that one of them's mine

The temperature is rising, heat up the floor

And when I see your love light starting to glow

You better run, you better hide

And baby don't you know it but the moment you rise

You better run, you better hide

'Cause the truth don't matter where a lie's concerned

If you have a tendency to get burned

My reasons for chasing you

Are very easy to describe

Everything you have I like

Everything you have I like, I like

Never thought I'd get so I couldn't sit down

And never thought I'd feel so like running around

And you could be as cool as you think that you are

But when I see your love light enter my heart

You better run, you better hide

And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrived

You better run, you better hide

And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrived

You better run, you better hide

And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrived

You better run, you better hide

'Cause the truth don't matter

A man's gonna get you inside

(No, no, is gonna get you inside, inside)

You better run, you better hide

You better run, you better hide

You better run, you better hide

You better run, you better hide

DON'T BOTHER AT ALL

Went and left me on my own before

Said you don't want me round anymore

Found some other fool to come and care for you

Now you're back and though my heart is sad

You still want me but honey I'm still mad at you

So baby don't bother at all

When I see you walking down the street

I feel so sorry for the one you meet

Now I know what you are like and what you can do

That was then and now you're at my door

What can I tell you that I haven't before, we're through

So baby don't bother at all

From a bird eye's view to a T-bone steak

From up above to below the human race

Have about as much respect for each other as we still have

In the moon for the wrong southside of you

Still remember how you used to care

Take you with me almost everywhere

Seems so funny that to think you'd be untrue

But the day you ran away with him

You made a fool of me and that I think is cruel

So baby don't bother at all

A bed of roses supposing it doesn't exist

Would you believe I believe that believing in this

Is like a suit on a groom and the bride he's going to wed

Well instead go asleep in separate beds

Went and left me on my own before

Said you don't want me 'round anymore

Found another fool to come and care for you

Now you're back and though my heart is sad

You still want me but honey I'm still mad at you

So baby don't bother at all

So baby don't bother at all

So baby don't bother at all
