WICKED LESTER LYRICS

[Note: Some of the lyrics are incomplete]


SWEET OPHELIA - Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil


She turned down the captain
When he came around to score
She said her heart was promised to
A midshipman from Baltimore


He offered her his mansion
He offered her his gold
But she slipped away to a lonely place
Where no man's hand to hold


Still sweet Ophelia
I feel your love reach out
Across the miles of ocean
There can be no doubt


The lawyer's means were modest
He brought her Danish wine
And an airloom necklace of purchered
Pearls from down his family line


But all of his advances
Her heart was cold as stone
She said sir before I'd accept your gifts
I walk these bowery streets alone


Still sweet Ophelia
I feel your love reach out
Across the miles of ocean
There can be no doubt


Still sweet Ophelia
I feel your love reach out
Across the miles of ocean
There can be no doubt


Some say she died of fever
Up in her attic room
Some tell me that she hung herself
In a ?


I heard she sealed the window
And never lit the stove
But I like to dream she drowned herself
On a ?


Still sweet Ophelia
I feel your love reach out
Across the miles of ocean
There can be no doubt



KEEP ME WAITING - Paul Stanley


Look what you're doin', I'm losin' my mind
My head's in a ruin, leavin' me behind
It hurts to believe you could treat me so cruel
Pick me up, put me down, make me look like a fool


Keep me waiting, you got me hangin' and hangin'
Keep me waiting, I don't wanna leave you
Keep me waiting, hangin' and hangin' and hangin'
Keep me waiting, well don't leave me hangin', girl


Look what you're doin', I'm losin' this time
I thought you were true and I see I was blind
It hurts to believe you could treat me so cruel
Pick me up, put me down, make me look like a fool


Keep me waiting, you keep me waiting and waiting
Keep me waiting, give a little piece of mind, girl
Keep me waiting, you got me hangin' on the outside, ahh


It doesn't matter what you do or say
I know goodbye is coming any day
It doesn't matter what you do or say
I know goodbye is coming any day
It doesn't matter what you do or say
I know goodbye is coming any day


Keep me waiting, Keep me waiting
Keep me waiting, Keep me waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting



LOVE HER ALL I CAN - Paul Stanley


I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my times dreamin' about her


Love her all I can and try to understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never, never sad


She's so easy to please and it doesn't take money, no, no
We can have a good time when the skies aren't sunny


Ah, love her all I can and try and understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never, never sad


I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my time dreamin' about her
Whoo


I love her all I can and try and understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never, never sad



SIMPLE TYPE - Gene Simmons


While walking down the street one day
Celebrating Friday the 13th in May
Then I met a simple type who started to fight


I said hey, can't you find a way
And do you have to keep on fighting this way
Some say it's going to be today
The world is gonna end and you're fighting this way
Can't you find yourself before that day


The streets where full with people in life
Looking over one another' shoulder to see
Trapping one another without sympathy


I said hey, can't find a way
And do you have to keep on fighting this way
They say it's going to be today
The world is gonna end and you're fighting this way
Oh, can't you find yourself before that day


I said hey, can't you find a way
And do you have to keep on fighting this way
Some say it's going to be today
The world is gonna end and you're fighting this way
So, can't you find yourself before that day


While walking down the street one day
Celebrating Friday the 13th in May
Then I met a simple type who started to fight
I said hey



SHE - Gene Simmons, Stephen Coronel


She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home


I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good


Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes


I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good


Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes


I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good



TOO MANY MONDAYS - Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil


Nothing much worth takin'
Only years of things to leave behind
Mama, quit your cryin'
Don't be tellin' me I've lost my mind


Now I'm tired of making good and feeling bad
When I came to this morning, it came to me I had


Too many Mondays in my life
Too many mornings when I hate to see the light
Too many Mondays, they keep coming 'round too soon
A too too free and easy Sunday afternoon


dying
All the things that come and knock me down
All the time we're making
Have to see above the working line


And there's something there I don't know why
The more I think about it the more I know I've got


Too many Mondays in my life
Too many mornings when I hate to see the light
Too many Mondays, they keep coming 'round too soon
A too too free and easy Sunday afternoon


When I saw sweet tomorrow
Tuggin' at my sleeve
Mother don't you see
They're calling me, calling me
Got to believe it


Too many Mondays in my life
Too many mornings when I hate to see the light
Too many Mondays, they keep coming 'round too soon
A too too free and easy Sunday afternoon


Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life



IN THE DARKNESS - Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley


What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day
What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day


Oh,there's a man from the country
Who works in the city
He has a good family
But his life is a pity
He loves his lady very much


He keeps in the city
Unknown to his family
A fine secretary
And they keep in touch, hello people


What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day
What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day


You better be true to your baby
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself


Well,there's a man who's romantic
Who every chance he get's
With so many young ladies
Whenever his sweatheart ain't around


They made plans to be married
But if she knew what was happening
Sweatheart would surely bring them down


What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day, reach the light of day
What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day


You better be true to your lady
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself


If you don't love that woman, just tell her so
And if you need more love than she could give
Let her know


Or if you feel that you love her, but your love becomes
A routine


Well lying and your cheating
For the love that you've been keeping
But it ain't the thing, no it ain't the thing


What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day, reach the light of day
What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day


You better be true to your lady
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself


You better be true to your lady
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself



WHEN THE BELL RINGS - Gene Simmons


Too many people been sleeping to long
While the world is wakin' up
The alarm is sounding oh, all around
Wake up, wake up


When the bell rings
It's ringing out a warning
When the bell rings
'Cause the line is forming
Getting plain to see


When the bell rings
You know you got to listen
When the bell rings
We can't pretend it isn't
Talking to you and me


Too many people been talking to long
Now the streets are filling up
If you hear screaming
Lord, your not dreaming
Wake up, wake up


When the bell rings
It's ringing out a warning
When the bell rings
'Cause the line is forming
Getting plain to see


When the bell rings
You know we got to listen
When the bell rings
We can't pretend it isn't
Talking to you and me


When the bell rings
It's ringing out a warning
When the bell rings
'Cause the line is forming
Getting plain to see


When the bell rings
You know you got to listen
When the bell rings
We can't pretend it isn't
Talking to you and me


When the bell rings ->fade



MOLLY - Paul Stanley


Molly, my friend, can you lend
Me an hour of your living
Molly, my pal, you're my gal
And I'm happy to give in


Goin' 'round the bend
And we'll reach the end some other day


Are you aware that I care
And I dare say I need you
And I can tell very well
What you're feeling for me too


Goin' 'round the bend
And we'll reach the end some other day


Goin' 'round the bend
And we'll reach the end some other day
Do, do, do
Some other way, yeah
Do, do, do



WE WANT TO SHOUT IT OUT LOUD - The Hollies


Do you find it hard to tell me
To tell me that you really love me
'Cause I find it hard to tell you
To tell you that I really love you


And I know what's in your heart
In your mind, in your body and your soul
But I hear it when we whisper
That letting people know


We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show


We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show


I've got something, you've got nothing
A child, a home of my own
And it's so hard for me to break it
I can't break it, I can't make it on my own


We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show


We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show


We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show



GIVE IT TO YOU EASY - Gene Simmons/Paul Stanley (1973)


All my days were lonely
Still you wanted money [you wouldn't phone me]
Got myself another [buy myself a number]
Gonna give it to you easy


You and me together,
Did you wonder whether
I would still be waiting?
Still anticipating?


So you thought I'd be the one
Who'd let you have your fun,
Never wanted more [wanna run]
You can come and get it on [count ahead and laugh] yeah


All my love, you take it
All the rules you breakin' [earned it]
I think I've had enough
Of all this kind [style] of stuff


Bye, bye
So long
Bye bye, baby
Farewell
(....) open up the door


Still you wanted more yeah!



Long Long Road - Paul Stanley


I was born in the middle of the night
And my mama raised a little boy
On the banks of the old Foxy River
In a little town in Illinois


I was taught to believe in the Lord
Yeah, even when the times got rough
And though I do the best I can do
Some times it ain't good enough


And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there


My grandfather was a railroad man
And he worked with a shovel in his hand
He was one of the men who was sweating his way
Across the motherland


And when he talked about the great depression
He said he hope he'd never see that day
But it seems that as good as I'm doin'
It won't be to far away


And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there
And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there


And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there
Yes it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there


I often wondered where the big trains went
As they were quickly fading out of sight
They would carrying the dreams of the people
Out into the night


Yes I wondered where the big trains went
So I thought I would ride along
Carrying my toughts out into the night
And it's singing my song


And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there
Yes it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there
