Peel Slowly and See

Peel Slowly and See

  1. It's All Right (The Way That You Live)
  2. Guess I'm Falling In Love
  3. Countess from Hong Kong
  4. Ride Into The Sun

It's All Right (The Way That You Live)

I don't care about your ways
of love and life and walkin'
I don't care about your days
of carin' and not talkin'

But it's your right
the way that you live
It's all right
the way that you live

You won't call
it doesn't matter if your sun shines in the evening
Don't wait
the moon will wait to come out in the night and talkin'

I don't care about your present pay
and your night life you keep burning
I don't care about what your old man says
all the ways you have of learnin'

But it's your right
the way that you live
It's all right
the way that you live

You don't write
it doesn't matter what they all say, gonna mess around
It's ok
it doesn't matter if your off or fine gonna learn

I don't care about your ways
of love and life and walkin'
I don't care about your days
of carin' and not talkin'

But it's your right
the way that you live
It's all right
the way that you live
It's all right
the way that you live
It's all right
the way that you live
It's all right
the way that you live
It's all right

Guess I'm Falling In Love

I've got fever in my pocket, baby
I've got to groove
Yeah, babe, I guess I'm fallin' in love

I've got fever in my pocket
down to my shoes
Oh, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love

I've got it in my pocket, babe
everything I can have
I've got things in my love life
that's gonna work out fine
It's gonna be all right
I've got to move
you've got your own love style
Yeah, now, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love

I've got fever in my pocket
down to my shoes
Oh, babe, I guess I'm fallin' in love

You better move it on, sweet babe
hey on down to your shoes
Things they ain't right, mamma
you know it'll work out fine
Hey, you gotta loose

Got a hand in my pocket
you know it's up your street
On, babe, I guess I'm fallin' in love

I've got ancles in my bracelets
spine is hard to move
Oh, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love
Oh, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love
Oh, baby, I guess I'm fallin' in love

Countess from Hong Kong

Words: Lou Reed

Countess from Hong Kong she moves so lightly
like the summer rain
Everytime I see and I think about her
it ends up the same
Walkin' the streets out in Singapore
it was a funny sight
But let me say the countess from Hong Kong
she did everything right

Oh, countess from Hong Kong
Countess from Hong Kong

Countess from Hong Kong she moves so lightly
she's like the summer breeze
And all of the princes they came from India
they fell down on their knees
Silks and satins, what a purple suede
she cut among the trees
Countess from Hong Kong believe me baby
now you're, ooohhh, like a summer breeze

Oh, countess from Hong Kong
Countess from Hong Kong

Ride Into The Sun

Lookin' for another place, someone else to be
Lookin' for another chance, to ride into the sun

Ride into the sun, ride into the sun
Ride into the sun, ride into

The sun where
everything seems so pretty, but lonely and tired of the city
Remember it's a flower made out of clay

To the city
where everything seems so ugly, when you're sitting alone in self pity
Remember you're just one person who's living there

It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city
