That's What Friends Are For
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)
Have you ever been lost in love, when you were seventeen
Have you ever had a dirty thought, an' tried to keep 'em clean
Did you ever have days like these, spend it on the job
Have you ever been lost in love, gone runnin' with the mob ... runnin' with the mob
There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for ... woh
Have you ever been lost in love, I never would have guessed
They tell me you're a big boy now, well an' truly blessed
Did she ever go overboard, keep the wolf at bay
Have you ever been lost in love, it happens every day ... happens every day
There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for ... yeah, yeah
There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more

Hi Ho Silver Lining
(Scott English & Larry Weiss)
You're everywhere and no-where baby,
That's where your at,
Going down a bumpy hillside,
In your hippy hat.
Flying across the country,
And getting fat,
Saying everything is groovy,
When your tyres are flat,
And it's...
Hi-ho silver lining,
Anywhere you go now baby,
I see your sun is shining,
But I won't make a fuss,
Though it's obvious.
Flies are in your pea soup baby
They're waving at me,
Anything you want is yours now,
Only nothing's for free,
Lies are going to get you someday,
Just wait and see.
Open up your beach umbrella,
While you're watching TV,
And it's...
Hi-ho silver lining,
Anywhere you go now baby,
I see your sun is shining,
But I won't make a fuss,
Though it's obvious.

Ooh La La In L.A.
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)
Whiplash in the dead of night
And down on Sunset dynamite
Blinding lights on the Marquee shining bright
There's George on his knees again
On the town with Miss Zimmerman
Alert the media and then my friend
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
You see the food and you feel the force
B.L.T. and there ain't no sauce
You get enough to feed a horse that's true
And down at Barney's playing pool
Minnesota Fats is ultra cool
A load of balls make you look a fool then you
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
Runaway on the radio
A powerplay every hour or so
A never ending red eyed T.V. show
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band is this
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
Making out every turned on a hit and miss
It's in the dead of night
And it's dynamite
The blinding lights are shining brighter and brighter
He's on his knees again
Alert the media my friend
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
One night stands with a one night band this is
Ooh la la in L.A., Ooh la la in the U.S.A.
