Chaz Jankel - Glad To Know You (1982)
Chaz Jankel
"Glad to Know You"
Album: Chasanova (1981 A&M)
LYRICS:
You wandered in upon my life
And haven't lost me yet
Said the turkey to the carving knife:
"What you give is what you get"
A fresh and lovely summers day,
We thought would never end
Said the bloodhound to the stag at bay:
"I thought you were my friend"
I thought you are my friend
Glad to know you, and by way of welcome
Pleased to meet you
We laugh and cry as lovers will
And howl at many moons
Said the waiter as he wrote the bill,
"Please return the spoons"
As hand in hand we wander on
Through life's own wondrous maze
Said Robin Hood to Little John,
"There must be other ways"
There must be other ways
Glad to know you, a way of saying welcome
Pleased to meet you
Pleased to meet you
We rest and kissed and talked and strolled
A very precious hill
Said knife and fork to sausage roll:
"It's pinky in the middle"
And thus it seems come rain and shine,
The patience still unfolds
Said the pike upon the Angler's line:
"I wish that I could talk"
I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, and you're very welcome
Pleased to meet you
I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, a way of saying welcome
Pleased to meet you
Pleased to meet you
We rest and kissed and talked and strolled
A very precious hill
Said knife and fork to sausage roll:
"It's pinky in the middle"
And thus it seems come rain and shine,
The patience still unfolds
Said the pike upon the Angler's line:
"I wish that I could talk"
I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, and you're very welcome
Pleased to meet you
I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, and you're very welcome
Pleased to meet you
I wish that I could talk
(Instrumental thing)
I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, and you're very welcome
Pleased to meet you

ABC - All Of My Heart (1982)
ABC
"All of My Heart"
Album: The Lexicon of Love (1982 Neutron Records)
LYRICS:
Once upon a time when we were friends
I gave you my heart. The story ends
No happy ever after, now were friends
Wish upon a star if that might help
The stars collide if you decide
Wish upon a star if that might help
What's it like to have loved and to lose her touch?
What's it like to have loved and to lose that much?
Well I hope and I pray
That maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
Add and subtract
But as a matter of fact
Now that you're gone I still want you back
Remembering
Surrendering
Remembering that part
All of my heart
Spilling up pink silk and coffee lace
You hook me up, I rendevouz at your place
Your lipstick and your lip gloss seals my fate
Sentimental powers might help you now
But skip the hearts and flowers, skip the ivory towers
You'll be disappointed and I'll lose a friend
No I won't be told there's a crock of gold
at the end of the rainbow
Or that pleasure and pain, sunshine and rain
Might make this love grow
But I hope and I pray
That maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
Add and subtract
But as a matter of fact
Now that you're gone I still want you back
Remembering
Surrendering
The kindest cut's the cruellest part
All of my heart
Yes I hope and I pray
That maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
And I shrug and I say
That maybe today
You'll come home soon
Surrendering
Remembering
Surrendering that part-All of my heart
All of my heart
