Doin' Alright (Staffell/May)
 
Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today I know what I'm doin'
Gotta feelin' I should be doin' alright
Doin' alright

Where will I be this time tommorow
Jumping with joy or sinking in sorrow
Anyway I should be doin' alright
Doin' alright

Should be waiting for the sun
Anyway I've got to hide
Going back to where the skies are blue
Going home to find the one


Blag
 
Take away my sunshine
You take away my rain
I can see it in you eyes
There must be a dance floor somewhere
You can find a way
I can see it in your eye


April Lady (S. Lukas)
 
She won our hearts the art she loved
Is painting pictures free
When she was done she hung them up
For all the children to see

Goodbye April Lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April Lady
You've done alot for the folks in this town

Children learned to read
She strung their beads
It's sorry she was the one
As you can isn't she good
She don't leave nothing undone

repeat

She taught them all to love
She was their cream
And we don't want her to go
But we know too well
She fell in love
And there's no stopping her now


Polar Bear
 
In the bright shop window sits the polar bear
Makes the children's eyes light up to see him there
Amongst the tinsel he gives everyone a smile
To see him and he'll be a star
Love him from where you are

He's not for, not for, not for sale

Past an open window walks the pretty girl
Does she see me at her feet its hard to tell
But if I ask her  she might turn her smile away
To see him and he'll be a star
Love her from where you are

I guess I'll learn to look
Without addressing her
Minor contentment wears a smile
I love her from where I lie


Earth (Staffell)
 
I might be at a table
And suddenly I'll catch
A fleeting vision of her crystal seas
Or I might be standing in a crowded dockyard faraway
Beneath the sun I've never seen
'Cos I have seen many worlds
For what it's worth
But I'll never see again
The planet earth
My earth
I might be chasing waves of light
Out towards the grim
Where stars are sparse
And the cold of space seeps in
But I might be in a barroom
Drinking menthylated gin
And thinking of places I have been

Yes I have seen many worlds
For what it's worth
But I'll never see again the planet earth
My earth

Cast adrift amongst the stars
I float from sun to sun
Dreaming of the world that gave me birth
All the places I have been
Remind me there is none to match the green living hills of earth.


Step On Me (Staffell/May)
 
Know what I said when I saw you crying 
Hang on that's folly
I was weak in the head out to meet your lying
You're just a bad memory
My life was going to be better
My why did I never ever see she'd step on me

Well I talked to your friend just the other day
I was gonna look and raise a smile
And she hid a smile and she ain't like you
Been asleep from all the journeys a little while

My life was going to be better
My why did I never ever see she step on me
Step on me, step on me, step on me

Now it's so good I won't waste my time
On a two year old picture of you
Oh now that you're gone everything's fine
