LYRICS FROM FANNY’S FIRST ALBUM
COME AND HOLD ME – June and Jean Millington
Come on and see me, baby
Sleepy time in the winter time
Sleepy time in the winter time
Come and hold me
Water fall upon my roof
Water fall upon my roof
Come and hold me
Wanna see the the sunrise
So you wanna see the sunrise
Come on and hold me
Water fall upon my roof
Water fall upon my roof
Come and hold me
Wanna see the sunshine
So you wanna feel the sunshine
Come on and hold me
(Come on and see me baby)
Water fall upon my roof
Water fall upon my roof
Come and hold me
Sleepy time in the winter time
Sleepy dreamy winter time
Come on and hold me
Come on and see me etc.
I JUST REALIZED – Nickey Barclay and June Millington
Let me tell you a story that nobody has heard
If you’ll be my disciple I will give you the word
If you give me a reason I will give you a rhyme
If you want the location I will give you the time
Oh, what ‘cha doin’ to me?
And now you won’t deliver like you said you would
I just realized I don’t feel so good, oh no
If you give me your money I will sign your release
If you tell me your symptoms I will cure your disease
If you ask me no questions I will give no replies
If you give me no answers I will tell you no lies
You’re making it hard; you’re making it hard for me
And now you say that you won’t tell me where or when
I just realized I’ve been had again
I just realized the source of all my trouble begins right here at home
Let me tell you a story that nobody has heard
If you’ll be my disciple I will give you the word
If you won’t come to see me I will tell you I’m blind
If you think I’m nobody I will pay you no mind
You’re making it hard; you’re making it harder
Take it easyyyyyyyy
And then I had to go and put my two cents in
I just realized what a fool I’ve been
I just realized, repeat
CANDLELIGHTER MAN – June and Jean Millington
I lie awake and wait for him to arrive; candle lighter man
He is the one who keeps my heart alive; he is the candle lighter man
Woman in the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home; I’m never gonna leave home
I’m feelin’ happy nearly every night; he’s the candle lighter man
I’m feelin’ good, now I’m feelin’ right; he is the candle lighter man
Woman in the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home; I’m never gonna leave home
When he is away I just burn the candle through the day
Read the funnies and make the bed, light a number
And there is one thing that you oughta’ know; he is the candle lighter man
Just keep on loving and your light will grow; he is the candle lighter man
And he is oh, so voh-dee-oh-doh never leads my heart about
When he says ohhhhh, blow the candles out
Woman, I’m a woman…in the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home; I’m never gonna leave home
I’m never gonna leave home; I’m never gonna leave home
CONVERSATION WITH A COP – Nickey Barclay
Good morning, I suppose you’re here to issue me a warning
And to ask me what I’m doing out alone
You’re suspicious that I’m not asleep at home
Yeah, I only wish that I could tell you, but I haven’t any reason to be out when every place is dark
I’d only like to flee the light you’re shining in my face
I’ve done no wrong; I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog
Yes, only, do I have to have a license to be lonely?
It’s a warm night and I couldn’t get to sleep
Did you worry that I might disturb the peace?
Yeah, well I’m alone and all to helpless, and I thought I had the right to take a walk at any time I pleased
I never knew the night could turn a whim into a crime
I’ve done no wrong; I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog
And I wonder how it feels to be afraid of everyone you see
I wonder why you keep those nervous fingers on your gun
I’ve done no wrong; I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m just looking for some place to walk my dog
CHANGING HORSES – Nickey Barclay
In the beginning, it was easy; it was right
You wouldn’t leave me alone, stay out all night
Now you’ve done me wrong; another man’s come along
And I think I’m gonna change horses in mid-stream
When I found out that you took me for a ride
I wondered if I should stay, faithful by your side
They told me it’s a mistake, but I’ve had about all I can take
And I think I’m gonna change horses in mid-stream
You told me that we would get married
I’m not a one to change my mind, but I won’t sit tied to a no good man
Who would leave his woman behind
In the beginning, it was easy; it was right
You wouldn’t leave me alone, stay out all night
Now you’ve done me wrong; another man’s come along
And I think I’m gonna change horses in mid-stream
Now you’ve done me wrong; another man’s come along
And I think I’m gonna change horses in mid-stream
And I think I’m gonna change horses in mid-stream
And I think I’m gonna change horses in mid-stream
BITTER WINE – Nickey Barclay
I have tasted bitter wine and I know what it feels like to be down
I have heard my best friends lie and I can’t get my feet up off the ground.
Seems I hear my prayer falling on empty air
Bitter wine the taste of things that cannot be
People hang around my place; they’re a kind I’ve been finding everywhere
Now they’re smiling to my face but I know that tomorrow, they won’t care
All alone am I watching my dreams go by
Bitter wine the taste of things that cannot be
I go from town to town, no friends have I
A paid performing clown; watch them laughing; look at me cry
Watch them laughing; look at me cry
I have tasted bitter wine and I know what it feels like to be down
I have heard my best friends lie and I can’t get my feet up off the ground.
Seems I hear my prayer falling on empty air
Bitter wine the taste of things that cannot be
Bitter wine, bitter wine, bitter wine, etc.
TAKE A MESSAGE TO THE CAPTAIN – Nickey Barclay
There’s a ship that sails tomorrow; I was due to be on board
There’s a lot to be discovered and a world to be explored
I had decided not to join them, thought I’d stay at home with you
But I’ve gone and thought it over and there’s something I must do
I don’t know why I feel uneasy; deep inside me something’s wrong
Don’t know why I’ve got to leave you, but I’ve got to move along
So, take a message to the captain
Tell him that I’ve changed my mind
I’ll be sailing out tomorrow, say goodbye to all the places and the life I left behind
Yes, I’ll join you at your table though I cannot stay for long
I had thought I would be able, but I can see now I was wrong
So, take a message to the captain
Tell him that I’ve changed my mind
I’ll be sailing out tomorrow, say goodbye to all the places and the life I left behind
Yes, I’ll be sailing out tomorrow, say goodbye to all the places and the life I left behind
SHADE ME – Nickey Barclay
Well, I heard you’ve packed your suitcase, and they say you’re running wild,
Playing games around my understanding
Well you know that’s kind of two-faced, ‘cause I loved you like a child
But now I think it’s time I put a hand in
Well you say I don’t protect you, that I let you trip and fall
You couldn’t stand alone if you could learn to
I’d like to please correct you, ‘cause that isn’t true at all,
I’ve always been the one that you could turn to
Go ahead and leave, yes I’ll get along somehow
If I ever needed savin’, don’t you know I need it now
So come and shade me, from the hurtin’ – pain of love
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon c’mon
I got no explanation, I got nothin’ to confess
Nothing to apologize or plead for
I saw your desperation, and I’ve given you the best
of everything you said you had a need for
And I know you’ve got your problems,
And I guess you’ve got ‘em bad
But I am tired of giving you solutions
I don’t like to upset you, and I hate to see you sad
But I’ve already made my resolution – OH
Go ahead and leave, guess I’ll get along somehow
If I ever needed savin’, don’t you know I need it now
So come and shade me, from the hurtin’ – pain of love. I need you baby.
So come and shade me, from the hurtin’ – pain of love
Shade me, you know I need you
Shade me, and don’t you walk out now, etc.
(Vocal riffs with background)
Go ahead and leave, guess I’ll get along somehow
If I ever needed savin’, don’t you know I need it now
So come on! Shade Me, from the hurtin’ – pain of love. [repeat – etc]
SEVEN ROADS – June and Jean Millington and Alice de Buhr
I ain’t nothin’ with nobody; I ain’t nothin’ with no man
I ain’t nothin’ with nobody; I ain’t nothin’ with no man
Seven roads left in number, seven roads left behind
Many go, none remember seven roads left to find
I ain’t nothin’ with nobody; I ain’t nothin’ with no man
I ain’t nothin’ with nobody; I ain’t nothin’ with no man
Come and take me for lover, come and take me all alone
Love the man; love the lover; love the flesh; love the bone
I ain’t nothin’ with nobody; I ain’t nothin’ with no man
I ain’t nothin’ with nobody; I ain’t nothin’ with no man
Come again; come the lover, and he loved me all alone
Love the man; love the lover; love the flesh; love the bone
I ain’t nothin’ with nobody; I ain’t nothin’ with no man
I ain’t nothin’ with nobody; I ain’t nothin’ with no man
I ain’t nothing with nobody, with nobody, with nobody
