Wild World Lyrics
By 1970, Stevens' had reached the UK top 40 five times, but it wasn’t until early 1971 that “Wild World” gave Stevens his first US hit, reaching #11 that April. The song was not released as a single in the UK… Read More [Intro]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la, la
[Verse 1]
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
[Chorus]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
[Verse 2]
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Beware

end of midsummer dream quotable
Now until the break of day
Through this house each fairy stray.
To the best bride bed will we,
Which by us shall blessèd be,
And the issue there create
Even shall be fortunate.
So shall all the couples three
Ever true in loving be,
And the blots of nature’s hand
Shall not in their issue stand. (V.i.)

This is Puck's monologue from the end of “A Midsummer Night's Dream” by William Shakespeare…
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends
In the play “A Midsummer Night's Dream”, Puck has helped Oberon (the king of the fairies whom Puck serves) play a trick on his queen Titania as well as five humans who are in the forest that night — two pairs of lovers and a older man employed as a weaver. At the end of the play, while Titania and the five humans are sleeping, Oberon and Puck undo nearly all the charms which they have used…and when Titania and the five humans wake up, they believe they dreamed all the events of the previous night.
Puck suggests at the end of the play that if the people watching didn't like it, perhaps they have simply been asleep like the characters in the play and that the play itself has all been a dream. He promises the people in the audience that if they do not judge the players too harshly, the players will make every effort to please and satisfy them at the next performance. Puck then bids the audience good night and requests that they applaud.
