Kevin Ayers — (Don't Sing No More) Sad Songs (BBC In Concert) lyrics

Lyrics

Don’t sing no more sad songs
I want to hear some glad songs
I feel the loneliness of a million souls
Don’t play me those blue tunes
I want to hear some new tunes
I feel the emptiness you left behind
I wasn’t very smart
Because I let you take my heart
Now, I just have to start again — once again !
Don’t bring no more bad news
Get yourself a new muse
I wish you happiness
In the years to come
I know I wasn’t very smart
Because I let you take my heart
Now, I just have to start again — once again !
— instrumental (guitar) —
I say, stop singing those sad songs
I want to hear some glad songs
I feel the loneliness of a million souls
Don’t play those old blue tunes
I want to hear some new tunes
I feel the emptiness you left behind
You know, I wasn’t very smart
Because I let you take my heart
And now, I just have to start once again — yes indeed !
— once again !
All these bad news has gone to cease
And the glad news must increase
And I wish you happiness
In all the years to come
