Alan Parsons - Disco: 'I Robot'

I Wouldn't Want to be
Like You
Eric
Woolfson/Alan Parsons

If
I had a mind to
I wouldn't wanna think like you
And if I had time to
I wouldn't wanna talk to you

I
don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

If
I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi

I
don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

Back
on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed

I
don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

Some Other Time
Eric
Woolfson/Alan Parsons

Now
the starlight which has found me
Lost for a million years
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes
Till it disappears

Could
it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind

Some
other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Some
other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Like
a mirror held before me
Large as the sky is wide
And the image is reflected
Back to the other side

Could
it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind

Some
other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Some
other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Breakdown
Eric
Woolfson/Alan Parsons

Any
time it happened I'd get over it
With a little help from all my friends
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me
But they walk away and just pretend

When
I breakdown

I
breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
No one can understand a word that I say
When I breakdown just a little and lose my head
Nothing I try to do can work the same way

Where
are all the friends who used to talk to me
All they ever told me was good news
People that I've never seen are kind to me
Is it any wonder I'm confused

When
I breakdown, when I breakdown

Freedom,
freedom, we will not obey
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
Freedom, freedom, take them all away

Don't Let it Show
Eric Woolfson/Alan
Parsons

And
if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when the say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me

Even
if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it show

Even
though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there

But
if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you

Even
if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it show

The Voice
Eric Woolfson/Alan
Parsons

It's
almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)

Sooner
or later when your big chances come
You'll look for the catches but there will be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)

Before
you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
Because you can't escape the voice

Jumping
at shadows that come up from behind
Scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
You're frightened to move because of what you might find
Someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
Because you can't escape the voice

Day After
Day (The Show Must Go on)
Eric
Woolfson/Alan Parsons

Gaze
at the sky
And picture a memory
Of days in your life
You knew what it mean to be happy and free
With time on your side

Remember
your daddy
When no one was wiser
Your ma used to say
That you would go futher than he ever could
With time on your side

Think
of a boy with the stars in his eye
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly you'd say someday, someday

But
day after day
The show must go on
And time slipped away
Before you could build any Castles in Spain
The chance had gone by

With
nothing to say
And no one to say it to
Nothing has changed
You've still got it all to do
Surely you know
The chance has gone by

Think
of a boy with the stars in his eye
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly you'd say someday, someday

But
day after day
The show must go on
And you gaze at the sky
And picture a memory of days in your life
With time on your side

With
time on your side
(Day after day the show must go on)
With time on your side
(Day after day the show must go on)
