Mind Like a Radio (FM)

My mind is like a radio
Turn the dial, change the channel
But when I want to turn it off babe
What do I do, what do I do
My mind is like a radio
Choose the style, hit the cruise control
But when I want to turn it off babe
What do I do, what do I do
I’d better think of you, babe (you)
I’d better think of you
(You, yeah)
My mind is like a radio
Pick a song and away we go
But if I want to turn it off babe
What do I do, what do I do
I’d better think of you, babe (you)
I’d better think of you
If you want to know the best of me
Then just turn up my favourite songs
I’ll open up my mind, you’ll see
All these notes and we’ll sing along
My mind is like a radio
(Mind like a radio)
Yeah, my mind is like a radio

ALL DAY
03:10
|

You know me, I’m not a superhero
I’m just someone who’s lost my way
I’m sorry for all the pain and sorrow
That the taxman has caused today
I’m working from 9 to 9
Then I wake up in the morning
And I play out the same old game
I’m working to stay alive
But what is life worth living
If you’re just waking up to say
I’m working 9 to 5 and
I’m working from 5 to 9, ALL DAY
Then I’m working 9 to 5 and
I’m working from 5 to 9, ALL DAY
You know me, I am not a genius
I just have something more to say
I’m sorry but what is life worth living
If you’re just counting down the days
I’m working 9 to 5 and
I’m working from 5 to 9, ALL DAY
Then I’m working 9 to 5 and
I’m working from 5 to 9, ALL DAY
Even though I want to stick around in this town
You know my heart and soul
Are driven to the ground by the ebb and flow
I’m working 9 to 5 and
I’m working from 5 to 9, ALL DAY
Then I’m working 9 to 5 and
I’m working from 5 to 9, ALL DAY

Turning Around
03:16
|

All these dreams are going through my head
Whether it’s the day or it’s the night I can be led
By the dreams that flow right through my head
Dreaming is the food that I am fed
If I would have known I would have sighed
But I fell down and cannot get back up
Oh me oh my
What’s the point in just wasting your time
Walking around and looking for a sign
Look at me, I’m turning around
Look at me, I’m turning around
Look at me, I’m turning around
From the trouble I was in
All these dreams are going through my head
Whether it’s the day or it’s the night that can’t be said
All these dreams are flowing through my head
Dreaming is the food that I am fed
Look at me, I’m turning around
Look at me, I’m turning around
Look at me, I’m turning around
From the trouble I was in
Yeah, I’m turning around
Look at me, I’m turning around
Look at me, I’m turning around
From the trouble I was in
If I would have known I would have sighed
But I fell down and cannot get back up now if I tried
What’s the point in just wasting your time
Walking around and looking for a sign

In My Record Collection
03:55
|

I got a call from Bob Dylan
He said “Hey man how you doin’”
I said “Hey Zimmerman I’m doin’ fine
Thanks for droppin’ me a line”
And I got a message from Joni
She’s blue but the smile’s still showing
The big yellow taxi’s still rollin’ along
They paved it all up and it’s gone
Here I am with all of my friends
In my record collection
Come on by with my friends and I
spinnin’ round havin’ a time
So I sat down with ol’ Tom Waits
He said “Let’s grab a beer for god sakes
These dimly bars are a place I call home
But it’s last call now leave me alone”
So Pop Rock goes from A to Z
The Jazz is beside R&B
Classical, Punk records, live albums too
And speakers cranking out the tunes
Here I am with all of my friends
In my record collection
Come on by with my friends and I
Spinnin’ round havin’ a time
So I paid a visit to Stevie
We hit the road to Motor City
Thank you to Berry, Smokey and the Bro’s
You sure cooked it up down in the hole
(They were called the Funk Brothers,
I thought you should know)
So I start to dust off the 12 Bars
There’s Buddy and Muddy and a tip jar
Grandma’s piano has gone out of tune
But Ray can still light up the room
And of course, albums that are new, well
They are still paying their dues
We’ll be paying our dues for a long time, I know
But let’s carry on with the show
Here I am with all of my friends
In my record collection
Come on by with my friends and I
spinnin’ round havin’ a time

At the World's End
03:59
|

Do you think if time keeps moving on
The best of us will stay behind and
Steer this ship around together
There we are just slowly spinning ‘round
The waves we made will speak for us
Just listen to the sounds
At the world’s end I want to get off
Take the first flight I see pass here to the stars
If we all must go
Please don’t turn around
See the fires that burn and the floods that drown
Do you think if time keeps moving on
The worst of us will stay behind
And burn this place right to the ground
There we are just spinning on our own
And we won’t be the only ones
Who call this rock a home
At the world’s end I want to get off
Take the first flight I see pass here to the stars
If we all must go
Please don’t turn around
See the fires that burn and the floods that drown
If we all must go, please don’t turn around
I want to get off
At the world’s end
I want to get off

(Ok, turn it up)
My mind is like a radio
Turn the dial, change the channels
But when I want to turn it off babe
What do I do, what do I do
My mind is like a radio
Choose the style, hit the cruise control
But when I want to turn it off babe
What do I do, what do I do
I’d better think of you, babe (you)
I’d better think of you
My mind is like a radio
Pick a song and away we go
But if I want to turn it off babe
What do I do, what do I do
I’d better think of you, babe (you)
I’d better think of you
If you want to know the best of me
Then just turn up my favourite songs
I’ll open up my mind, you’ll see
These notes, can you sing along
My mind is like a radio
(Mind like a radio)

Dive

Surprise me with a smile
The one I belong to
Surprise me with a smile
Dear depression, I blame you
Surprise me with a smile
Or I’ll stay here for a while
Surprise me with a smile
I’m at my best with you
Surprise me with a smile
Show my other shade of blues
Surprise me with a smile
So I can hold my head up high
And I won’t dive
The sunshine’s on my side
Or so at least I’ve heard
If the sun shines on my side
I’ll try and spread the word
When the sun shines in my eyes
That’s when I feel alive
I won’t dive
Surprise me with a smile
I’ll turn left instead of right
Surprise me with a smile
I’ll be coming home tonight
Surprise me with a smile
I’ll hold my hands to the light
And I won’t dive
Surprise me with a smile
And I’ll turn my back on you

Lucky Me
04:19
|

It’s been a while since I sang I love you
Thought we say I love you almost every day
It’s not quite the same with just words and no medley
Of notes strung together in such delicate ways
If I was a painter I’d paint us a house
With a porch and a yard where the dog can free
But I’m just a singer, I’ll sing I love you
They’d say lucky you but I say lucky me
Please give me a moment to say I love you
I know we text this to each other always
But it’s been seven years and there’ll be fifty more
If the weather keeps giving us sunnier days
If I was a dancer I’d dance on the moon
But to slowdance with you is the same thing to me
But I’m just a singer, I’ll sing I love you’s
They’d say lucky you but I say lucky me
It’s been a while sing I sang I love you
And here we are planting a garden with seeds
This is my heart put to words and melody
The winter was dark but here comes the spring
If I was a painter I’d paint us a house
With a porch and a yard where the dog can free
But I’m just a singer, I’ll sing you a love song
They’d say lucky you
But again, lucky me

To Say Goodbye
05:00
|
|||
Hold on tight and don’t let go
But it’s alright if must let go
I hope you’ll hear me from miles away
Because by now you’re a world away from here
What do you say
When you don’t get to say goodbye
How do they know the feelings you show
When you don’t get to say goodbye
How do they know the feelings you show when
Just when we were out of the city
How, how could I have known
I’m sorry if I let you down
If we turned around I wouldn’t let go
What do you say
When you don’t get to say goodbye
How do they know the feelings you show
When you don’t get to say goodbye
How do they know the feelings we show
When you go
When you go
What do you say to say goodbye
What do you say when you don’t get
To say goodbye
What do you say to say goodbye
What do you say when you don’t get
To say goodbye
