Come over to the window, my little darling,
I’d like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
Now so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
Now so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …
We met when we were almost young
deep in the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
as we went kneeling through the dark.
Oh so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …
Your letters they all say that you’re beside me now.
Then why do I feel alone?
I’m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone.
Now so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …
For now I need your hidden love.
I’m cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious,
I never said that I was brave.
Oh so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …
Oh, you are really such a pretty one.
I see you’ve gone and changed your name again.
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,
to wash my eyelids in the rain!
Oh so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …

Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime
In the summertime when the weather’s high,
You can stretch right up and touch the sky,
When the weather’s fine,
You got women, you got women on your mind.
Have a drink, have a drive,
Go out and see what you can find.
If her daddy’s rich, take her out for a meal.
If her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel.
Speed along the land,
Do a ton, or a ton and twentyfive.
When the sun goes down, you can make it,
Make it good in a lay-by.
We’re not grey people, we’re not dirty, we’re not mean.
We love everybody, but we do as we please.
When the weather’s fine
We go fishing or go swimming in the sea.
We’re always happy,
Live’s for living, yeah, that’s our philosophy.
Sing along with us, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.
Da-da-da-da-da…
Yeah, we’re happy happy, da-da-da-da-dah.
When the winter’s here, then it’s party time.
Bring a bottle,
Wear your bright clothes. it’ll soon be summertime.
And we’ll sing again,
We’ll go drivin’ or maybe we’ll settle down.
If she’s rich, if she’s nice,
Bring you’re friends and we’ll all go into town.
