CAT STEVENS
01-ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT – Fa M
Cat Stevens
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
That's how I'm in the state I'm in
Oh,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliv'rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein
Ooh, la,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town
Oh, no
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
02-FATHER & SON - Sol M
Cat Stevens
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now,
and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found
something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow,
but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain,
when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same,
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know
that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
Son
All the times that I cried,
keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree,
but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know
that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
03-MILES FROM NOWHERE – Re M
Cat Stevens
Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there
Lord, my body
Has been a good friend
But I won't need it
When I reach the end
Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Oh yeah
I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
'Cause I know when I find it my honey
It's gonna make me feel good, yes
So don't it make you feel sad
'Cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, I'll think to that
Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright
I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yeah, the ones that I choose
Lord, my body
Has been a good friend
But I won't need it
When I reach the end
I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'Cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, yes, I'll think to that
Think to that, oh yeah
Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there…
04-MOON SHADOW – Re M
Cat Stevens
Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my power, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Ooh, I won't have to work no more
And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Ooh, I won't have to cry no more
Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan and I won't beg
Oh, if I ever lose my legs
Ooh, I won't have to walk no more
All my teeth north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Ooh, I won't have to talk
"Did it take long to find me?"
I asked the faithful light
"Oh, did it take long to find me
And are you gonna stay the night?"
I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' und hoppin' on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
05-MORNING HAS BROKEN – Do M
Cat Stevens
Morning has broken
like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken
like the first bird.
Praise for the singing,
praise for the morning
Praise for them springing
fresh from the world.
Sweet the rains new fall,
sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall
on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness
of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness
Mine is the sunlight,
mine is the morning
Born of the one light,
Eden saw play
Praise with elation,
praise every morning
God's recreation
of the new day
Morning has broken
like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken
like the first bird
Praise for the singing,
praise for the morning
Praise for them springing
06-WILD WORLD – La m
Cat Stevens
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving,
baby I'm grieving
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad
out there
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you
like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
'Cos I never want to see you sad girl.
don't be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you
like a child, girl
(Instrumental)
Baby I love you
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you
like a child, girl
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you
07-PEACE TRAIN – Do M
Cat Stevens
Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Some day it's going to come
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on the peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on the peace train
Get your bags together
Go bring your good friends too
'Cause it's getting nearer
It soon will be with you
Now come and join the living
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true
Oh, peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on the peace train
Peace train
Now I've been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating
Why can't we live in bliss
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again
08-SAD LISA – Mi m
Cat Stevens
She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what's making you sadly?
Open your door,
don't hide in the dark
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me
'Cause you know that's how it must be
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa
Her eyes like windows, tricklin' rain
Upon her pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her
She walks alone
from wall to wall
Lost in a hall, she can't hear me
Though I know she likes to be near me
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa
Violin break
09-HERE COMES MY BABY – Sol M
Cat Stevens
In the midnight moonlight I'll
be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do,
I keep seeing this picture of you.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
You never walk alone,
and you're forever talking on the phone.
I've tried to call you names,
but every time it comes out the same.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
I'm still waiting for your heart,
'cause I'm sure that some day it's gonna start.
You'll be mine to hold each day,
but 'till then, this is all that I can say.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
10-KATMANDU – C1 Mi M
Cat Stevens
I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky
Kathmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
Chop me some broken wood
We'll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old satan's tree
Kathmandu I'll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
11-STREETS OF LONDON – Re M
Cat Stevens
Have you seen the old man
in the closed down market
kicking up the papers
with his worn out shoes
in his eyes you see no pride
hand held loosely by his side
yesterday's paper
telling yesterday's news
so how can you tell me
you're lonely
and say for you that the sun don't shine
oh let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of london
I'll show you something
to make you change your mind
have you seen the old girl
who walks the streets of london
dirt in her hair
and her clothes in rags
she's no time for talking
she just keeps right on walking
carrying her home
in two carrier bags
so how can you tell me
you're lonely
and say for you that the sun don't shine
oh let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of london
I'll show you something
to make you change your mind
in the all night café
at a quarter past 11
same old man
sitting there on his own
looking at the world
over the rim of his teacup
each tea lasts an hour
then he wanders home alone
so how can you tell me
you're lonely
and say for you that the sun don't shineoh let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of london
I'll show you something
to make you change your mind
have you seen the old man
outside the seaman's mission
memory fading with
the medal ribbons that he wears
in our winter city
the rain cries little pity
for a long forgotten hero
in a world that doesn't care
oh how can you tell me
you're lonely
and say for you that the sun doesn't shine
oh let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of london
I'll show you something
to make you change your mind
