"Mercedes Man"

Mercedes Man
Reads the Wall Street Journal
See his sandals
He looks eternal
Mercedes Man's got three fast friends 
Money
Love and
Mercedes Benz

High class girls
Always count the cost 
Moving fast

But they all get lost
In his exhaust
And never last

Hey, take a number
For your personal chance 
To be the Queen
Of his true romance

Mercedes Man's got three fast friends 
Money
Love and
Mercedes Benz

Mercedes Man's got artistic ways 
But it's all just a game he plays 
Say you're in the market
Ready to ride
Operate the handle and 
Spin inside

That three point star in front of his car
can lift you up
He can free your mind 
From the daily grind and pick you up
His bottom line defines 
Life on Earth
Your new self worth will be 
His universe

Mercedes Man's got three fast friends 
Money
Love and
Mercedes Benz

Mercedes Man
Deals in risky stocks
See the bankers
Shaking in their socks 
Mercedes Man
Always in the news 
Mercedes Man
And he never gets the blues

People on the street
See the world at his feet
And they want inside
But no one seems to care 
How they make it up there 
They'll steal and lie
God you don't have to wonder 
What money can do
Or when it's time
Who will rescue you

Mercedes Man 
Mercedes Man

solo

Mercedes Man's got three fast friends 
Money
Love and
Mercedes Benz
Money Love and it
Never ends 
Money Love and it 
Never ends

Windup 4

RAIN

￼I was looking for a needle in a haystack 
I might still find it or not
Maybe not 
Hold on
Wait a minute
Let me think this over 
Maybe I’ll try loving you a lot

When we’re looking for love
That will last forever 
Searching long and hard
Maybe now is the time to love
The moment right now

When we’re looking for a rainbow of perfection
And only find a tiny drop
Why not love what’s falling to you 
Falling from above 

With the Earth below you
And the sky high above
Why not love what’s all around you
You know it all so well

Send down your love
Like the falling rain

Send down your love
Like the falling rain

(Musical interlude)

Send down your love 
Like the falling rain

Send down your love
Like the falling rain

"Little Bit of Love"
Words and music by james dean claitor

I remember somebody asking where
Where he’s gone to
But I didn’t want to answer them that I didn’t know 
But the question still remains in my mind though 
Where did our love go
Where did it go?
Everybody’s got their own ideas, their own answers 
What you you want to believe is yours
There ain’t no right or wrong
But what you do is going to come back on you 
Sometime
What you say
What you do
Is going to come back on you 
Before long
Give a little bit of love 
Get a little bit
Give a little bit
of love
Give a little bit 
Get a little bit Every day
hey hey, you’re going to need some love 
Sooner or later
why not give a little bit now
A little smile
you know It’s not that hard, no 
To give a little
To get a little love
Got to love a little bit every day
Even though sometimes you might not feel that way 
Give a little
Get a little bit of love
Every day every day every day
Give a little love 
Get a little love 
Every day
Give a little love 
Get a bit

 Give a little bit 
Get a little bit 
Every day
Give a little love and
Get a little love
Try to brighten up somebody’s day
Give a little love and 
Get a little love 
Every day
—— start fade ——
Give a little love 
Get a little love
in return 
Every day
Give a little love 
Get a little love 
Every day
(repeat to fade)
