Baby You'd Better Go Now While Time Is On Your Side
'Cause Nothing's Left Between Us, The River Is Ten Miles Wide
We're Walking In Different Circles Baby - It's A One Way Street You're On
I Couldn't Have Been Your Puppet Baby - Chasing The Wind 'Cause Love Has Gone
I've Tried To See Things Your Way, I Tried To Play Your Game
But Now That It's All Over, I'll Try Forgetting Your Name
We're Walking In Different Circles Baby - It's A One Way Street You're On
I Couldn't Have Been Your Puppet Baby - Chasing The Wind 'Cause Love Has Gone
Have You Seen The Sun Rise Out In The Sky?
Well That's Where I'm Going When We Say Goodbye
We're Walking In Different Circles Baby - It's A One Way Street You're On
I Couldn't Have Been Your Puppet Baby - Chasing The Wind 'Cause Love Has Gone
We're Walking In Different Circles Baby - It's A One Way Street You're On
I Couldn't Have Been Your Puppet Baby - Chasing The Wind 'Cause Love Has Gone
We're Walking In Different Circles Baby - It's A One Way Street You're On
I Couldn't Have Been Your Puppet Baby - Chasing The Wind 'Cause Love Has Gone

(Thaler)

Nick Pantas - Guitar

You Can't See Her Any More, You're Waiting For A Taxi All Alone
A Girl Who Could Have Anybody Yet She Hasn't Anyone, She's In A World Of Her
Own
Pretty Ladies Come And Go, Common People Passing By
You Don't Even Say Hello - It's Causing Me To Wonder Why
Something Has Happened To The Simple Girl I Used To Know
(Friends With Anybody, Friends With Anybody, Friends With Anybody Any More)
Whatever Happened To The Simple Girl I Used To Know?
It Would Appear That Things Have Changed (Girl Don't You Know?)
The World Speaks So Well Of You
And Your Good Fortune's Rearranged (Girl Don't You Know?)
The Time Has Better Things To Do
(Friends With Anybody, Friends With Anybody, Friends With Anybody Any More)
Something Has Happened To The Simple Girl I Used To Know
She's Locked In Her Memory
Back When She Was Feeling Fine Before The Hands Of Time Caught Up With Her
(Oh - Oh - Oh)
She's Not The Same, She's Not The Same
Isn't It A Crying Shame How People Are Remembering Her Name?
(Oh - Oh - Oh)
She's Not The Same, She's Not The Same, She's Not The Same
She's Not The Same, She's Not The Same
This song was released on the B-side of a single, with "Walking In Different
Circles" on the A-side.

Needed A Vacation From New York City - Oh West Virginia
Met A Girl There And She Looked So Pretty - Oh West Virginia
Rock-A-Billy Woman With Eyes Like Diamonds
Said I'd Have The Nerve If She Could Take The Time And Educate Me
Hey Diana Are You Leaving Town? Sit Down
We'll Talk It Out And Have A Smoke Yeah
You Mean You Can't Take A Joke Yeah
I Should Have Known It - I Guess I've Blown It
Never Should Have Parted From The Great White Way Hey - Oh West Virginia
Woman On My Mind Every Night And Day Hey - Oh West Virginia
Went And Said Some Things That I Shouldn't Have Said Now
Jumped Into A River That Was Over My Head And How, She Wants A Word With Me
Hey Diana Are You Leaving Town? Sit Down
We'll Talk It Out And Have A Smoke Yeah
You Mean You Can't Take A Joke Yeah
I Should Have Known It - Looks Like I've Blown It
Sometimes Little Problems Come Along
(Guitar Solo)

I Went A-Walking In Every Direction
Looking For Answers Without Any Questions
All That I Wanted Was Something For Nothing
If I Could Find Nothing That Wasn't Worth Something
I, I Can't Go On Pretending
I Needed A Love And It's No Use Defending Myself
Amber Velvet They Call Her
Amber Velvet They Call Her
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
I Went A-Hoping For Something To Hope For
All That It Got Me Was Nothing To Show For
Looking At Both Sides Without Really Seeing
Having A Status Without Really Being
I, I Can't Go On Pretending
I Needed A Love And It's No Use Defending Myself
Oh - Oh Amber Velvet They Call Her
Amber Velvet They Call Her
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
When I Wake Up In The Morning Had I Really Been Asleep Last Night?
Oh Had It Only Been A Dream?
Amber Velvet They Call Her
Amber Velvet They Call Her
A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
Amber Velvet They Call Her

A Beautiful Name For A Beautiful Girl
It's Only A Dream
