The Note You Never Wrote
Later on, the story goes,
A bottle floated out to sea
After days when it had found the perfect spot,
It opened up...
And I read the note that you never wrote to me
After all, I'm sure you know,
The mayor of Baltimore is here
After days, now he can finally appear,
Now at last he's here...
But he never is gonna get my vote
'Cause he never is gonna get a quote
From the little note that you never wrote to me
Further on along the line,
I was arrested on the shore
Holding papers of governments galore,
I was taken in...
But I read the note that you never wrote
Yes, I read the note that you never wrote
Oh, I read the note that you never wrote to me
To me, to me, to me...
A bottle floated out to sea
After days when it had found the perfect spot,
It opened up...
And I read the note that you never wrote to me
After all, I'm sure you know,
The mayor of Baltimore is here
After days, now he can finally appear,
Now at last he's here...
But he never is gonna get my vote
'Cause he never is gonna get a quote
From the little note that you never wrote to me
Further on along the line,
I was arrested on the shore
Holding papers of governments galore,
I was taken in...
But I read the note that you never wrote
Yes, I read the note that you never wrote
Oh, I read the note that you never wrote to me
To me, to me, to me...

And when I'm gone,
I'll leave my message in my song,
That's right.
Beware, my love,
He'll bowl you over.
Beware, my love,
Before you're much older,
He'll sweep you up under his carpet.
You'd be in luck if you could stop it.
Come on, now.
Well, he'll wear you out,
and in a miniute,
you'll hear a shout,
and then you'll be in it.
So, so beware my love,
'cause he'll take you under.
Beware, my love,
the sound of his thunder;
Can't say (I've) found out.

Wino Junko
Doctor Tom is getting on,
All he does is sign his name.
I get things my brainbox sings,
but I'll go down again.
Play with fire, getting higher,
Higher than a nine foot flame.
My soul is pent and so's the rent,
but I'll go down again.
Wino Junko can't say no,
Wino Junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you can't say no
till you go down again
This and treat you crazy cat,
Flying sideways once again.
I'm in a spin it makes me grin,
but I'll go down again.
Wino Junko can't say no,
Wino Junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you can't say no
till you go down again.
Till you go down again.
Till you go down again.
Till you go down.
Take what I need until I bleed,
People will say I've gone insane.
Ain't scared to die, it's such a high,
till I go down again.
Wino Junko can't say no,
Wino Junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you can't say no,
Till you go down again.
Wino Junko can't say no,
Wino Junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you can't say no,
Till you go down again.

Cook Of The House
Ground rice, sugar, vinegar, seco salt, macaroni too,
Cook of the house,
I'm the cook of the house.
No matter where I serve my guests,
They seem to like the kitchen best 'cause I'm the cook of the house,
Cook of the house.
The salad's in the bowl,
The rice is on the stove.
Green beans in the colander and where the res is heaven only knows.
Cinnamon, garlic, salt, pepper, corn-bread, curry powder, coffee too,
Cook of the house,
I'm the cook of the house.
No, matter where I serve my guests,
They seem to like the kitchen best.
'cause I'm the cook of the house,
Cook of the house.
Where the rest is heaven only knows.

Time To Hide
If I have to run, I'm not running out on you
If I have to shake a little sand out of my shoes
I'm running from the law or they'll put me inside
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
I've been on the run since the good Lord knows when
And the day I die, I'll still be running then
Running from the days when I would lay me down and cry
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
Will I love you tomorrow?
(Yes, I will) my love, (yes, I will) my love
Will I beg, steal or borrow?
Yes, I will (my love), yes, I will, (my love)
To spend a little time happy to be by your side
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
If I have to run, I'm not running out on you (runnin' out on you)
If I have to shake a little sand out of my shoes (sand in my shoes)
I'm running from the law or they'll put me inside
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
Ooh, baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?
Baby, won't you let me have a little time?
Baby, won't you let me have a little time?
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide?

Must Do Something About It
I've just seen another sunset on my own.
All day long I've been alone,
and I must do something about it,
yes I must do something about it.
Played another losing cardgame with myself.
Lonely joker on ashalf,
and I must do something about it,
yes I must do something about it.
No one on the party line,
No one seems to need a dime,
No one even knows that I'm feeling this way.
I've just seen another suset on my own.
All day long I've been alone,
and I must do something about it,
yes I must do something about it.
No one seems to need my vote,
No one has to change a note,
No one here to hold my coat,
Oh, what a day.
I've just watched another movie on T.V.
No one's in the house but me,
and I must do something about it,
yes I must do something about it.
Oh, oh, something about it.
I've just dialed another number on my phone.
All day long I've been alone,
and I must do something about it...
All day long I've been alone,
and I must do something about it,
yes I must do something about it.
Played another losing cardgame with myself.
Lonely joker on ashalf,
and I must do something about it,

No one on the party line,
No one seems to need a dime,
No one even knows that I'm feeling this way.

All day long I've been alone,

Sally G
Somewhere to the south of New York City
Lies the friendly state of Tennessee
Down in Nashville town, I met a pretty
Made a pretty big fool out of me
And they call her Sally
Sally G, why do you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
You took the part that was the heart of me, Sally G
The night life took me down to Printers Alley
Where Sally sang a song behind a bar
I ran my eyes across her as she sang a tangled mime
I used to love to hear her sweet guitar
And they call her Sally
Sally G, why do you wanna do the things you do to me?
You're my Sally, Sally G
You took the part that was the heart of me, Sally G
Me and Sally took up
Things began to look up
Me and her were going strong
Then she started lyin'
I could see our love was dyin'
I heard a voice say
"Move along, move along"
Well now, I'm on my own again
I wonder if she ever really understood
I never thought to ask her what the letter "G" stood for
But I know for sure it wasn't good
And they call her Sally

You're my Sally, Sally G

Wings at the Speed of Sound is the fifth studio album by the British-American rock band Wings, released on 26 March 1976. Issued at the height of the band's popularity, it reached the top spot on the US album chart—the band's fourth consecutive album to do so—and peaked at number 2 on the UK album chart.
Both singles from the album also reached the top 5 of the UK and US singles charts, with "Silly Love Songs" reaching number 1 in the US.
The album was recorded and released in the midst of Wings' highly successful Wings Over the World tour, with songs from the album performed on the tour after its release. Subsequently, performances of "Let 'Em In", "Time to Hide", 'Silly Love Songs' and "Beware My Love" were included on the live album Wings over America, released in December 1976.
As a reaction to critics who believed Wings was merely a vehicle for Paul McCartney, the album featured every member of the band taking lead vocals on at least one song, and two songs from the album are written or co-written by band members other than the McCartneys.

WingsBoth singles from the album also reached the top 5 of the UK and US singles charts, with "Silly Love Songs" reaching number 1 in the US.
The album was recorded and released in the midst of Wings' highly successful Wings Over the World tour, with songs from the album performed on the tour after its release. Subsequently, performances of "Let 'Em In", "Time to Hide", 'Silly Love Songs' and "Beware My Love" were included on the live album Wings over America, released in December 1976.
As a reaction to critics who believed Wings was merely a vehicle for Paul McCartney, the album featured every member of the band taking lead vocals on at least one song, and two songs from the album are written or co-written by band members other than the McCartneys.
