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
