Poor Rich Boy - Ambrosia

Can you believe me when I say There's nothin' I'd like better Than just to sit here and talk with you Although I'll rant and I'll rave About one thing and another The beauty of it is (hope you'll agree) Though I'm a poor boy I can still be happy As long as I can feel free So many people I know gettin' old way too early (Well, are you feelin' kind of weary) Just to impress you with the money they've made (You'd better, you'd better, you'd better change your theory) One drop of rain they complain And it's the same about the wage they're earnin' Well that is not the way I'm gonna be Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Well let us state our only point of view Why can't we all afford to live like you This simple life is simply not enough We have appearances we must keep up Poor boy If that's the way it's gotta be (Poor boy) It's you for you and me for me I try all I can understanding all the fools And all their money When half of what they got You know they never will use Enough to get by suits me fine I don't care if they think I'm funny I'm never gonna change my point of view Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Always, na, na, na Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me

Sun down big city And all my money is gone Sun down and i'm thinkin' Back to where i used to call home Every blowhard barjockey In every town i ever knew Said if you play hard You get lucky It ain't necessarily true I'm a poorboy, big city Smalltown used to be home Poorboy, big city I've never been so all alone One time i had all the good lovin' Of a young girl in my hand I left town and never stopped runnin' Never stopped to understand Seeking unknown sensations And every new sight to be seen Took a greyhound to penn station To follow some impossible dream Now for all you sum' bitches Dreamin' out the back o' some mall Thinking somewhere else it all happens Well it dont happen at all I get by the best that i'm able Long as i'm getting stoned Got the whole world coming at me on cable I've never been so all alone

Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen They all fit together In the same machine Nice, nice, very nice Nice, nice, very nice So many people in the same device Oh a whirling dervish And a dancing bear Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire Or a teenage rocker Or the girls in France Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance Nice, nice, very nice Nice, nice, very nice So many people in the same device I wanted all things to make sense So we'd be happy instead of tense Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen They all fit together In the same machine Nice, nice, very nice Nice, nice, very nice So many people in the same device So many people in the same device

Hurry up, get along, be on your way And make sure that your certain It's not the wrong day Punctual people are lost in their plight To become unprecedented when they arrive Why am I searching and when will I know? Are the years that I've waited with nothing to show? I'm ready to listen I'm ready to win But I can't wait much longer before we begin Time waits for no-one Time waits for no-one no-one, no-one There's time to conceive in and time to expire Though the time 'twixt the two tells the tale that transpires so why must we continually disturb the universe With decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse So people don't worry 'bout where you've gone wrong cause you know if you hurry it takes twice as long Relax and forget about what's to be done, it's time to have fun Time waits for no-one Time waits for no-one It really doesn't matter much to me I know the best times are timeless, you'll see...

(Drummond - Puerta - Pack) She got a heart of steel She don't care how I feel But nothin' warms the chill When I'm livin' on my own She keep my mind in worry She left my vision blurry Left me in a hurry Now I'm livin' on my own Baby, when you left me here, I was so alone and full of fear Thought that I would be all right, But it's hard to last these lonely nights Thought that I quit carin' When we both stopped sharin' The pain is hard to bear When I'm livin' on my own She came into my life She kept all my dreams alive Baby, when you left me here, I was so alone and full of fear Thought that I would be all right, But it's hard to last these lonely nights She got a heart of steel She don't care how I feel But nothin' warms the chill When I'm livin' on my own Livin' on my own Livin' on my own
