Badfinger Lyrics

Badfinger » Airwaves Lyrics

Sometimes you make me
Sometimes you break me
I've got leaving on my mind

I wanna get back
I wanna get back
I need to get back on the airwaves.

Badfinger » Andy Norris Lyrics

Run out of money
Run outta good
Run outta reasons and misunderstood
Run out of rhythm
Run out of rhyme
Right out of feelings and right out of time

Living in limbo, hanging around
Head on the ceiling and mind in the clouds
Blind is the morning and deaf is the night
Comes without warning and leaves me in fright

Saving all my money, yeah, for the rainy days
I'm packin' up my suitcase, make it pay

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]

Run out of patience
And run out of lies
Run out of spaces and nowhere to hide
Living and loving is easy to get
Living is something we haven't tried yet

Yeah, I've been saving all my money, yeah, for the rainy days
Well, I'm packin' up my suitcase, make it pay

Hey
[double guitar solo (Joey Molland & Pete Ham)]

I run out of money
Run out of good
Run out of reasons and misunderstood
Run out of rhythm
Run out of rhyme
Right out of feelings and right out of time

Blind is the morning and deaf is the night
Comes without warning and leaves me in fright

I've been saving all my money, yeah, for the rainy days
I'm packin' up my suitcase, make it pay.

Badfinger » Apple Of My Eye Lyrics

Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to move away
Though inside my heart, I really want to stay
Believe the love we have is so sincere
You know, the gift you have will always be

CHORUS:
You're the apple of my eye
You're the apple of my heart
But now, the time has come to part

Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to make a stand
Though we never meant to bite the lovin' hand
And now, the time has come to walk alone
We were the children, now we've overgrown

CHORUS

[guitar solo]

REPEAT VERSE 1

CHORUS

Now, the time has come to part
Now, the time has come to part.

Badfinger » Baby Blue Lyrics

Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue

All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue

What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way
Don't you know the times I've tried?

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]

Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.

Badfinger » Believe Me Lyrics

Believe me, if I wanted
Spend the rest of my time with a mean, lean, woman like you
Would I?
If I needed, but I don't

Will I?
If you want me
Give you all the love in the world that a man could
Still I, if I needed, I could

Then I could cry your name and you would come
There'd be no need for me anymore, anymore!

Believe me, if I wanted
Spend the rest of my time with a mean, lean, woman like you
Would I, if I needed, but I don't

[duel guitar solo (Pete Ham & Joey Molland)]

Then I could cry your name and you would come
There'd be no need for me anymore, anymore!

Will I, if you want me
Give you all the love in the world that a man could
Still I-hi-hi, if I needed, I could.

Badfinger » Better Days Lyrics

I'm just a good boy, working hard to get my pay
A little time, a little trouble, a better day
I see no reason as for why it cannot be
A little time, a little trouble, a better day

You bury your head in the things you said, that's fine
But the days go by and you know it's getting dark at nine
You give all you want, but you take away what's mine
We can make it better, baby, so much better all the time

Just a good boy
Looking hard to see my way
A little time, a little trouble, a better day

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

I see no reason as for why it cannot be
A little time, a little trouble, a better day

Well, you bury your head in the things you said, that's fine
But the days go by and you know it's getting dark at nine
You give all you want, but you take away what's mine
We can make it better
Baby, so much better all the time

Just a good boy
Looking hard to see my way
A little time, a little trouble, better days.

Woooh, woooh, woooh, woooh, woooh, woooh, woooh, woooh
Woooh.

Badfinger » Blind Owl Lyrics

Lies, ties, Mr. Cool disguise
Hang it up, get up on your own
Pill driven skills, weeping whippoorwills
Too much going 'round that you can't hide

CHORUS:
Look out for the blind owl
You can only find that you were wrong
No one else around me ever loved me like you do
So I'll be strong

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

CHORUS

Days, plays, interviewer's maze
Play the role, sell your soul
Becoming to yourself
A hero who must never lie

Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie

[wah-wah guitar solo (Pete Ham)].

Badfinger » Blodwyn Lyrics

I put away the knife, the chisel, and the saw
I've locked away my life behind this old, oak door
To make a simple spoon, a token of my love
In hope that maybe soon, it's me you're thinking of

CHORUS:
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
The valley knows the way I feel today
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
Before some other spoon takes you away

My life may not be long, was working down below
For so much can go wrong, but what else do I know?
So take these precious years and make them precious too
And say you'll take from me what I will give to you

CHORUS

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

CHORUS.

Badfinger » Come Down Hard Lyrics

I heard a lover lie, saw a lady cry her heart out
He was on his way, she would have to play the part out
And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'

She didn't understand, it didn't go the way she planned it
She thought the ties were strong
Then it all went wrong, she landed
She come down hard

[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)]

She was noticing just lately
She had seen a thing or two
Things would get a little shaky
And there was nothin' she could do
She go, "boo hoo hoo"

She looked around the place and there was no one there to save her, oh no
And now her eyes would burn
He would not return, she knew it
And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'
She come down hard

Leavin'
Leavin' (come down hard)
Leavin' (come down hard)
Leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin'...

Badfinger » Constitution Lyrics

I could sing the blues any way I choose, if I wanted
I could turn you around, I could bring you down, if I wanted

But it's not my constitution, it's not my way of life
You know, I'm just a lover for my wife

I could join a race, I could paint my face, if I wanted
I could be a queen, but it's not my scene 'cause I've tried it

And it's not my constitution, it's not my way of life
You know, I'm just a lover for my wife
Hey, yea

[wah-wah guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

I could sing the blues any way I choose, if I wanted
I could bring you down, I could turn you around, if I wanted

But it's not my constitution, it's not my way of life
You know, I'm just a lover for my life
Hey, yea

[wah-wah guitar solo (Pete Ham)].

Badfinger » Cowboy Lyrics

Hey cowboy, I dig your blues
You must have had a heavy day
Hey cowboy, I dig your shoes
I know they're walking heavenly ways

CHORUS:

Now, I know you well enough to say, "yeah"
Yeah, yeah, to say, "yeah"
Hey soldier, it's up to you
To see you make it home today

CHORUS

[country guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Tommy's dialogue during solo:

"____ all his teeth
Well, take your partners and dosey doh
Be like me, and see how it goes"
CHORUS.

Badfinger » Day After Day Lyrics

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

[duel slide guitar solo (Pete Ham and George Harrison)]

Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.

Badfinger » Dennis Lyrics

Deeper waters flowed
Recently it showed
Tryin' to cover your head
Tryin' to frighten you
Tryin' to fight with you
Really gettin' you scared
But don't you worry, you love of mine
Pretty soon it will all be fine
And we'll just go on

Higher hills to climb
Climbin' all the time
Tryin' to find a way through
Fallin' down again, on the ground again
Wonderin' what you can do
But don't you worry, you love of ours
They look like weeds, but they're really flowers
And they'll soon be gone

You won't stand up, you won't sit down
Your head's a mile above the ground
And though we tend to scold you now
I couldn't start to tell you how
We couldn't start to tell you how
There's just no way to say how much we love you

You, little Dennis, you
You're full of new surprise
Love you
You, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes
You're a prize

It could be bad, it could be worse
You're taking out your mother's purse
And though you cried when you got told
The money there was for the old
To keep their dogs from getting cold
The only thing that can't be sold is love

You, little Dennis, you
You're full of new surprise
Love you
You, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes

Will you pick up your toys?
Will you be a good boy?
Will you please, please?

There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to take away blue
Take away blue

There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to take away blue
Take away blue

There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to...

Badfinger » Do You Mind? Lyrics

Do you mind if I call you my friend
Just to say that our love will not end?
Do you mind?
Do you worry sometimes?
Do you find that you hurry sometimes?

Do you mind when I don't understand
All the problems that come with your hand?
Do you mind?
Do you worry sometimes?
Do you find that you hurry sometimes?

Or will you be leaving sooner than you thought?
Or will you stay longer?

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]

Or will you be leaving sooner than you thought?
Or will you stay longer?

Do you mind if I call you my friend
Just to say that our love will not end?
Do you mind?
Do you worry sometimes?
Do you find that you hurry sometimes?

Badfinger » Flying Lyrics

Feel like I'm flying, I'm dying to say
"Want you forever and easy"
Be where you are, where I want you to stay
Don't you know what I'm saying?
Believe me

Feel like I'm falling, it's all I can do
Lyin' and dyin' is lonely
Deeper and darker, no way to forgive
No way to believe what you told me
No way to believe what you told me
Way to believe

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]

Kings in their castles wound up in the wine
Drinking their confidence daily
Wish I could be into that peace of mine
Wish I could be into crazy
Wish I could be into crazy
Wish I could be...

Badfinger » Get Away Lyrics

Well, I may be wrong leaving it up to you
But my love is strong, and that's what I'll do
Well, you may be right working all night and day
And I know, sometimes, I've got to get away
Get away, oo-oo-way

The walls are getting closer
People trying to freeze my soul
The times are getting harder, only wanna Rock 'N' Roll
Too much sittin', thinkin' what we're gonna say
And I know, sometimes, I've got to get away
Get away, oo-oo-way

I may be wrong, babe, leaving you this way
I must be strong, babe, leaving you today

Well come on, hey hey
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Get away, oo-oo-way

I may be wrong, babe, leaving you this way
I must be strong, babe, I'm leaving you today

Well, you may be right working all night and day (gotta move, get away)
But I know, sometimes, I've got to get away

Get away (gotta move, get away)
Oo-oo-way (gotta move, get away)
Get away (gotta move, get away)
Oo-way (gotta move, gotta move)

Get away (gotta move, get away)
Yeah, way (gotta move, get away)
I said, way (gotta move, get away)
Get away, alright! (gotta move, gotta move)

Right! (Gotta move, gotta move)
Get away (gotta move, gotta move)
Get away (gotta move, gotta move)
Alright! (gotta move, gotta move)
(Gotta move, get away)
Get away! (gotta move, get away)
Get away (gotta move, get away)
Get away (gotta move, gotta move)
(Gotta move, gotta move).

Badfinger » Get Down Lyrics

Get down, baby
Get down
Get down to my heart

Be around, baby
Be 'round
Be 'round when I call

You say your name is Mary
But I got my point of view
Got the time to show you that it's true
Yes I do

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Thrill me, baby
Come on
Way down to my feet

Get down, baby
Get down
Get down to my heart

You say your name is Mary
But I got my point of view
I got the time to show you that it's true
Yes I do

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Get down.

Badfinger » Give It Up Lyrics

Live in hope of love and wait to die
Sadness all around us makes for crying
Feelings that once meant so much
Are left to dry and turn to dust, and ashes

We learn to wheel and deal and say goodbye
Madness all around us makes for dyin'
Young deceivers soon turn old
Are left to die amongst their gold and cashes

Give it up
Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time
Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)

We drive a million miles to see the sun
Hoping we are not too late for saving
The Lord will smile on you today
Give you love that you can trade
For matches, TVs, and movie stars
And driving cars is catching

Give it up
Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time (give it up)
Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]:
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up).

Badfinger » Got To Get Out Of Here Lyrics

Gotta get outta here
A man who feels the space begins to need the wall
Gotta be others near
Maybe someone fills the space behind the fault
Maybe not at all
Maybe not at all

Baby, a man gets wise
To running 'round in circles
He ain't got no choice
Only the fool survives
Running 'round in circles
Trying to make some noise
Got no choice
He's got no choice

Well, I learned to live without face
Learned to feed my soul
I can learn the chords to right place
Hang onto my own

[keyboard solo]

I gotta find a place
See and dream
Who knows which way the dice will fall
I got a mind to face
But maybe I can find my place behind the wall
Maybe not at all
Maybe not at all

Well, I gotta get out of here
Gotta be others near
I gotta find a place
Somewhere without a race
I gotta know it all
Don't wanna be alone
Somewhere I wanna be
Something I really see
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here.

Badfinger » I Can Love You Lyrics

I can love you without askin' why
Seeing all that's in your eyes
Knowing there's no alibi
If I made you cry

I can see you like a morning sun
Feel you and I'm holding on
Knowing that I'm not alone
Want to take you home

CHORUS:
And all of the flowers
Seem to wither in their beds and say, "goodnight"
And all of the hours
Seem to clean away the bad and make it right

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]

CHORUS 2 times.
