Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive! Album Lyrics

[Introduction]
If ever there was a musician who was an honorary member of San Francisco society... Mr. Peter Frampton!

[Something's Happening]
Who said it's my year? Was it you there? Can't go wrong
I see a new way, you'll be in my play, sing my song
Where is the reason, I keep teasing, if I knew
To see the new year, not being blue here evermore

You know it's alright, something's happening
Hold tight, it might be lightning
Turn up the lights, something's moving
Can't sleep at night, my heart keeps missing a beat

Well, I know it's my year, ain't got no fear, hold me down
Take it easy, if not for me, sing my song, yeah
Where is the reason, I keep teasing, if I knew
To see the new year, not being blue here evermore

You know it's alright, something's happening
Hold tight, it might be lightning
Turn up the lights, I feel like dancing
Can't sleep at night, my heart keeps missing a beat

Yeah, ooh baby, don't ever let it bring you down
Ooh baby, that's not the way I want it to sound
Ooh baby, don't ever let it bring you down
Ooh baby, I'll pick you up on the ground

Alright, something's happening
Hold tight, it might be lightning
Turn up the lights, I feel like dancing
Can't sleep at night, my heart keeps missing a beat

Yeah, ooh baby, don't ever let it bring you down
Ooh baby, that's not the way I want it to sound
Ooh baby, don't ever let it bring you down
Ooh baby, I'll pick you up

Whoo!
Do what everybody says is wrong
You can't believe nobody takes too long
Changing your mind, ooh, let me up
I can't believe that kind would drink my cup

Yeah, yeah

Take away what you can make today
Look, turn around
Put your hand in the lottery
Hey, what you found?

Take the place, you got another taste
Make it through
Carry on, won't do you wrong
It's something new

Icicles of blue serene
Inside your eyes
I came in the same way too, ooh, with you

Head in the sky
Let me breath
Don't want to make you cry
But I gotta leave

Take all you can, don't let it show
Walk away, you gotta pay
For all you know

Hang on to me
Put your hand in the lottery
You don't really need to be
Anything you don't want to be

Setting suns and thinking aloud
Speaking of you
I came in the same way too

Head in the sky
Let me breath
Don't want to make you cry
But I gotta leave

Take all you can
I understand
Don't let it show
Walk away but you gotta pay
For all you know

Yeah, yeah

Do what everybody says it wrong
I don't believe anybody takes too long
Changing your mind, let me up
I can't believe that kind would drink my cup

I wonder how you're feeling
There's ringing in my ears
And no one to relate to except the sea
Who can I believe in?
I'm kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force
Who do I phone?
The stars are out and shining
But all I really want to know

Oh won't you show me the way
I want you show me the way

Well, I can see no reason,
You living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
I'm swimming in a circle,
I feel I'm going down
There has to be a fool
To play my part
Someone thought of healing,
But all I really want to know

Oh won't you show me the way
I want you show me the way
I want you day after day

I wonder if I'm dreaming
I feel so unashamed
I can't believe this is happening to me
I watch you when you're sleeping
And then I want to take your love

Oh won't you show me the way
Oh won't you show me the way
I want you day after day
I want you day after day
Oh won't you show me the way
I want you day after day

She showed her navel
She wore the label
She wore it thigh-high

Old-time sticky lipstick
Knockin' at my door
I just turn up the hi-fi

Well, it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
(So long to love)
Well it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn

She'd like to taste me
She'd like to waste me
She'd like to see me sky-high

New York to Boston
Same in Houston
I just say bye-bye

Well, it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Well it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn

She said, "I know it's late to
But I'd really like to play tunes
On your
Guitar"

"Let's get arrested
Want to be molested
Who cares how old
You are?"

Well it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Yes,it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn

Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
well it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn

Do what you do don't bring me down
I went to the doctor he's just another clown
Don't stand alone you might turn to stone
I wish there was a pill for that - you're on your own

Can't you see what it's doing to me
All I wanna be is by your side
I don't care if they cut my hair
All I wanna be is by your side

Shake me down you wanna put me on the ground
There's money in my pocket I won't make a sound
Run me over or pick a four leaf clover
Now they cut the lights down, this record's going slower

Can't you see what it's doing to me
All I wanna be is by your side
I don't care if they cut my hair
All I wanna be is by your side

The sweetest fragrance, it brings a wind of change
I feel it's now or die
I have itchy fingers and butterflies a strange
You know that I live a lie

Take me away, take me away, faking my way through
Take me away, take me away, faking my way through

Sapphires aren't enough to buy me happiness
Diamonds don't demand me, they're just for looking
Love comes close to wrecking all you have to give
God knows, there's so much to give

Take me away, take me away, faking my way through
Take me away, take me away, faking my way through

La da da da, like I do
La da da da, cause all I do is for you
And all I do is for you, you, and you, and you

La da da da da da da

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait

Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way, everyday
Wanna be with you night and day

Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some firefly
Wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine
I can see them under the pine
Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait

Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way, oh
Wanna be with you night and day, oh yeah

Well don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait

I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and gray, blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one
Out of season

Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait

Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day

Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day, yeah

Well, like I said before
Pay up your money and you ask for more
But there's no reason
Yeah, no reason

I can't say goodbye
Tried all too hard and it made you cry
Yet, I've been cheating
Yeah, I've been cheating

Like before you threw me out the door
And I couldn't see behind me
Like before when I asked for more
I couldn't be myself

Still singin' this song
Baby can't you do me wrong
Music is my food and life
Don't take it away

I want the world to see
I don't care when it will be
There's no doubt
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
Yeah, you start to look old

Sand and sea, will do it endlessly
I will never, turn it away
Well, salty air seagulls everywhere
I wanna live there one day
But I'm still singin' my song
Baby won't you do me wrong
Music is my food and life
Don't take it away

I want the world to see
I'm about
I don't care when it will be
I'm alright
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
I'll tell you what you must do

[Solo]

I want the world to see
I'm about
I don't care when it will be
There's no doubt
I wanna go to the sun, everyone

I don't know what I can do
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
I don't care when it will be
There's no doubt
I wanna go to the sun, everyone
I'll tell you what I must do

[Solo]

I want the world to see
I can't know when it will be
I don't know when it will be
I don't care when it will be
I wanna go to the sun

I don't care when it will be
I want the world to see
I want everyone to see
I want everyone to see
I want everyone to be
What I want to be
I want to be free

[Instrumental]

I'll give you money
I'll give you lovin'
I'll give you everything
But heaven above

I'll give you all I have right now

I'll give you money
I'll give you lovin'
Everything

I'll give you kisses
Sweet as honey
I'll do you everything
'Cept make the sun shine

If I could change the world right now

Make you happy
Stop your cryin'
Everything
Everything

All of my life I've been dreaming
'Till you came my way
All of your life aren't you searchin'
For love forever

All I need is someone to believe in me
Even if you're losing
Watching from behind everything

I'll give you sun and...
Lost all my money
I threw it all away
But now I'm happy

I'll give you all my love right now

I'll give you money
I'll give you lovin'
Everything
Everything

Money- everything
Everything
Money- everything
Money- everything
Money- everything
Money- everything
Money- everything
Money- everything
Money- everything
Money- everything...

Find it hard to see you in the dark

I looked around

You were beside me



Don't you realize it's hard to dream

Without your helping hand to guide me



This could be the one, girl

If you will be my sun



Shine on

Me, shine on me

Let it shine on

Shine on

All I have to so is let it shine on



Please look about and tell me what you see

All noise and dirt and plastic people

Cause love is clean

And ours has been a bluer shade of jade

Than black or white is



Take me on a ride, girl

Right there by my side, Oh



Shine on

Shine on me, shine on you

Let it shine on

Shine on

All I have to do is let it shine on



Shine on

Shine on me, shine on you

Let it shine on

Shine on

All I have to do is let it shine on

(repeats)

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash

Lines on my head from that one thing she said
She spoke of strangers that don't sleep two a bed
Kept on trying, buying time,not waiting on fate
I somehow got the feeling that I opened my eyes too late
I saw where you came from
Called out your name
But there's no answer
We lived on your doorstep
I made you my wife but I don't need that
Lines on my face,while I laugh lest I cry
Speed city dirt and gritty waving me goodbye
So many people,my family of friends
Trying so hard to make me smile until this heartache mends
I saw where you came from
called out your name
but there's no answer
We lived on your doorstep
I made you my wife but I don't need that
Ice in her eyes,frozen tears would never be a surprise
You can't erase a dream you can only wake me up
My mind is turning slower,never to accept defeat
It don't matter where I live I still got a house to heat
I saw where you came from
called out your name
but there's no answer
We lived on your doorstep
I made you my wife but I don't need that

Well, woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand.
Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been.
Come on, let's do it again.

Do you...you, feel like I do?
How'd ya feel?
Do you...you, feel like I do?

My friend got busted, just the other day.
They said,"Don't walk, don't walk, don't walk away."
Drove him to a taxi, bent the boot, hit the bag.
Had to play some music, wonder why's he [brag or drag].

Do you...you, feel like I do?
How'd ya [turns from mic, can't catch it]?
Do you...you, feel like I...

[1st guitar solo]

Do you...you, feel like I do?
Yes ya do.
Do you...you, feel like I do?

Champagne for breakfast and a Sherman in my hand.
Peached up, Peached Ale, never fails.
Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been.
Come on, let's do it again.

Do you...you, feel like I do?
How'd ya feel?
Do you...you, feel like I...

[keyboard solo]

Do you feel like we do?
Do you feel like we do?
Oh, that's true.
Do you feel like we do?
Get back.
Do you feel..do you feel like we do?

[2nd guitar solo]

Oh baby do you feel?
Oh baby do you feel, feel like we do?
Do you feel...do you feel...like we do?
I want to thank you.
Do you feel like we do?
That's alright, that's alright to feel you'd like,
Feel you'd like, a good time.
We'll goto bed and good night.
Good night, good night, good night, good night, good night
