Jeanette was a dancer
I suppose I knew her well
Her feet danced miracles
I was lost within her spell
Jeanette knew a singer
Was the leader of some band
Looked just like a boy
And stood just like a man
And it rains all down the avenue
Yes it rains all down the avenue
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
The kids in the back street cry
You hear their voices in your brain
The world is full of hungry souls
Behind the window panes
Little Jenny on the high wire
Slow motion as she fell
Sometimes I think the wire is me
The tragedy as well
And it rains all down the avenue
Oh yes it rains all down the avenue
It rains all down the avenue
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
[Solo]
I work on the west side
Jeanette I pulled your strings
I stood upon the pavement
I never owned a thing
And still I am the singer
I know my song so well
The rain falls through my eyes
And lands below the shell
And it rains all down the avenue
Yes it rains all down the avenue
Oh yes it rains all down the avenue
Just for you boy
Just for you
Just for you boy
He used to play mouth organ
In a folk club, in a pub they call the Lady Jane
All the sounds as his friends and he would holler
Songs of love and songs of pain
There wasn't much that he could use his time for
So he used to practice everyday
And play the mouth organ, blues and hard luck
Someday soon I'm gonna break away
He used to listen to the bells of St Mary's
As they would echo through those early days
And sometimes even now he thinks that he still hears them
Although they're but a thousand miles away
And so he came into this crazy business
And do you know the stars all fell his way
And he became another rock [incomprehensible] rock and roll troubadour
And threw the mouth organ far away
And so he listens to the bells of St Mary's
And so their echo haunts him every day
So clear he could reach out and touch them
Although they're but a thousand miles away

seen a lot of good times in my life
times when everything went so right
seen a lot of things go wrong and I just don't know why
I've seen a lot of good times m my life
had a bit of sadness in my life
friend of mine went down the other night
tried to sort it out but now I just don't know why
I've had a bit of sadness in my life
you see I am a lonely, lonely, man
and what I got, I got together with my own two hands
and I wonder what am I gonna do to put things right
I've seen a lot of good times in my life
I've taken lots of chances in my life
now one of them has changed me overnight
I've seen a glimpse of the other side
the lights are much too bright
I've taken lots of chances with my life
I gotta do something with my life
gotta make a change and put up a fight
stand on my own two feet and do it right
I gotta do something with my life

he kept her lookin'so fine and clean
he had so much faith in her
his love he never had to check out
he had to go see a man about a dog one day
and when he got back he found she'd shimmied out
I tried to tell you boy, you wouldn't listen to me

list'ning to the falling rain
always seems to bring her back again
I can remember like it was yesterday
sound of her voice, her look upon her face
like children playing children's games
we joked and laughed at ev'ry passing day
I'm so much older, things have changed
I've realized that now it's just too late
I hear the laughter echoin' through my brain
I hear the laughter then I'm alone again
I tried to forget her heaven knows
seems there's no direction left to go
I can remember like it was yesterday
I hear the laughter then I'm alone again
I'm alone again, alone again
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could turn this all around
it's just my foolish fantasy
but that won't bring your sweet love back to me
I hear the laughter, somebody called my name
I hear the laughter and I can feel the pain
I hear the laughter echoing through my brain
I hear the laughter then I'm alone again
I hear the laughter, I hear the laughter

every time you touch me my love falls like rain
I've only known you for an hour or more
the time is standin' still

when I came home this morning
I got your letter and what it said
I didn't understand
you told me it was over -- au revoir -- see you again sometime
I didn't understand
and overleaf you tell me that you love me...
meet me on the corner
the usual time -- the usual place
I will be there
meet me on the corner
I'll see you coming -- then I'll be sure
sure you'll be there
oh and I wanna tell you that I love you...
I see your face -- I see the night
I love you -- I love you
and deep in my sleep I see your eyes
I love you -- I love you
I stood on the corner
all the cars went sweeping by
did somebody call me -- no there was no one there
well I'll go on waiting -- perhaps tomorrow
another day -- I will be there
oh and I wanna tell you that I love you...

used to see him hanging around everywhere
in a world of his own
see him hanging round street corners
where we would meet
he was a lonely kid
now they tell us that he's moved on
ain't been seen for so long don't know where he's gone...
it's been so long, but I'm on the road and
though it ain't been easy
at least I made it on my own
my tongue's been tied for far too long
and now you're gonna hear me
at least I know where I belong...
S.O.L.O. I'm on the road
S.O.L.O. I'm on my own
y'see everybody's got someone
to lay their troubled lives upon
I'm really glad I've only got my own...
once upon a time, well I had lots of friends
I moved freely through their lives
but two's a couple and, well three's a crowd
I was just left out
hanging around
I've had as much now as I can take
there ain't no need to stay...
S.O.L.O. I'm on the road
S.O.L.O. I'm all alone
and everybody smiles
as I go walking by
but I 'm really glad I've only got my own...
Ev'rybody knows down Ladbroke Grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Take up your guitar and play
Then the police come and say move along
So you move along all day.
I'm a one man band
Nobody cares or understands.
Is there anybody out there who could lend a hand
To my one man band?
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
I must be getting so thin
Soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half a crown in.
So hey
there
Mister
don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
I can play you any song you choose
To cheer up the life you lead.
I'm a one man band
. . .
And nobody hears the minstrel boy
As he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him disappear
And nobody sees him go.
So hey
there
Mister
don't you look so sad
. . .
I'm a one man band
. . .

though the world has changed
we're still the same
you know that I love you
though the world has changed
we're still the same
you know that I love you -- yeah
counting the months and the years
when I lived alone
the days were so bleak
and the nights were so black and cold
walkin' around in the street
in the pouring rain
hanging 'round waitin' for love
but it never came
suddenly you were there
though I never thought about you
now that the world has changed
it's so strange that I found you
sharing a secret that no one
could understand
feeling brave in my heart
yet too scared to let go of your hand
runnin' wild in the streets
just the way all the young lovers do
you only livin' for me
and me only for you
suddenly life has changed
when you said I love you
and though the words were plain
it's so strange
you said I love you
and oh how my life has changed
after searchin' in vain
I found you
though the world has changed
we're still the same -- I still love you
though the world has changed
ahh, we're still the same, y'know I love you
one night I thought that you were gone
what could I do?
runnin' around in the pouring rain
lookin' for you
wondering if I'd ever see you again
then through the darkness
I heard you calling my name
loving you when you're not there
I'm never lonely anywhere
outside the world has changed
we're the same
I still love you
and though the world has changed
the words are the same
you know I love you

Your love still brings me to my knees
From day to day you feel my needs
This flame that burns
Within my heart will never die
Oh I bless the day you come along
You turned my life into a song
There is no greater love
And there will never be
'Cos you're the only one
(Your love still brings me to my knees)
Brings me to my knees
(Your love has given me)
Your love still brings me to my knees
(Your love has given me)
I find each day I love you more
Always the one I'm waiting for
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
'Cos you're the only one
(Your love still brings me to my knees)
Still brings me to my knees
(Your love has given me)
You bring me to my knees
(Your love has given me)
Now I never knew
What life was all about, yeah
Then you came along
And gave me a reason to understand what it's about, oh darling
[Solo]
Your love still brings me to my knees
From day to day you feel my needs
There is no greater love
And there will never be
'Cos you're the only one
(Your love still brings me to my knees)
It brings me to my knees
(Your love has given me)
Still brings me to my knees
(Your love still brings me to my knees)
You've given me everything
You've got a cute way of talkin'
You got the better of me
Just snap your fingers and I'm walkin'
Like a dog hangin' on your lead
I'm in a spin, you know
Shakin' on string, you know
You make me feel like dancin'
I'm gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancin'
I'm gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancin'
I feel like dancin', dancin'
Dance the night away
I feel like dancin', dancin', ah
Quarter to four in the mornin'
I ain't feeling tired no, no, no, no, no
Just hold me tight and leave on the light
'Cause I don't want to go home
You put a spell on me
I'm right where you want me to be
You make me feel like dancin'
I want to dance the night away
You make me feel like dancin'
I'm gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancin'

We'll dance our lives away
You make me feel like dancin'
I wanna dance my life away
You make me feel like dancin'
I wanna dance my life away
You make me feel like dancin'
I wanna dance my life away
(I feel like dancin')
You make me feel like dancin'
I wanna dance my life away
(I feel just like dancin')
And if you say again to me
That we could all be free
I'll have to leave
Look at the sky
It's falling down
The world is spinning round
Without a sound
Where has all the lazy sunshine gone
Can anybody tell me
Why is everybody going home
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Oh have you stood
Before the wind
And let it blow your blues
So far away
Look at my life
Oh, what's the use
To everyone I know
Oh I'm a fool
Where have all the smiling faces gone
Can anybody tell me
Why is everybody going home
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And I'm with you. And all that I so wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away.
When I need love
I hold out my hands
And I touch love. I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day.
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile.
But you know I won't be traveling forever.
It's cold out
But hold out
And do like I do.
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And I'm with you.
And all that I so wanna give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away.
It's not easy when the road is your driver.
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear.
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime.
It's cold out
But hold out
And do like I do.
I need you.
When I need love.
I hold out my hand
And I touch love.
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day.
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side.
Keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hands
And I'm with you
Darling.
I'm with you
Darling
All I wanna give to you
It's only a heartbeat away.
I need you
We were just friend's babe
But love came on too strong
We could not stop
What we knew was wrong
We meet in this hotel
To hide from prying eyes
Nobody knows
About out secret life
We've got ourselves in love babe
We've got ourselves in love
What are we going to do about us
We're so much in love
We got ourselves in love girl
We've got ourselves in love
Nothin' we can do about us
Being in love
Oh we're so much in love
Don't talk in my sleep babe
I don't repeat your name
But somehow she knows
That we're playing games
So we talk in whispers
And plan out getaway
We've got to make our move
Before it's too late
We've got ourselves in love girl
We got ourselves in love
What are we going to do about us
We're so much in love
We've got ourselves in love babe
We've got ourselves in love
Nothin' they can do
My conscience says
That you and I should stay as friends
My heart pretends, oh baby
With you my life can start again
Got ourselves in love babe
We've got ourselves in love
There's nothin' they can do about us
Being in love
We got ourselves in love
We've got ourselves in love
And I know we'll pull through
Today's been long
It's been like slow motion
Walking in circles
Talking to the wall
Now I'm standing on the corner
And looking down at the ocean
Sure is cold
Makes me feel so old
See the couple there in slow motion
Flapping like a flag in the breeze
But why I'm here
I ain't got no notion
I got people to please
Oh the lights in the harbour
They don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
Adrift on the sea
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine
How I wish
You were mine again my dear
I'm on the sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
Oh, how did I lose you
Oh where did I fail
Why did you leave me
Always to sail
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine
How I wish
You were mine again my dear
I'm on the sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
Oh what I'd give to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
[Solo]
Come to my rescue, oh come here to me
Take me and keep me away from the
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine
How I wish you were mine again my dear
I'm on a sea of tears
I heard some things about you
I can't believe it's true
I heard the flame don't burn bright as it used to
I heard some things about you
I know they must be lies
Don't turn your face away, baby
When I need to see your eyes
'Cos I keep hearing rumours
People telling me rumours
I keep hearing those rumours
Seems like everybody's my best friend
Rumours, don't go believing rumours
I swear it's only rumours
Listen babe, I don't want our love to end
(It's a shame - they talk, they talk, they talk)
I heard some things about you
Suspicion coming on
I need some answers woman
Don't tell me nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong
I heard some things about you
The way you're treating me
You give your love to someone else
When it used to come to me
Oh I've been hearing rumours
Everybody's saying rumours
I don't wanna hear no rumours
How come everybody wants to be my best friend
I don't believe it no, oh
(It's a shame - they talk
They talk, they talk
They talk, they talk
They talk, they talk:)
Now I've got so many friends
I've never had before
And you're the only friend I want
I don't want no more
All these rumours I hear
I can't believe they're true
And they're trying to tear me
Oh no, they're trying to tear me away from you
Rumours, I don't believe it babe
Rumours
They're just whispers in the wind
They've got it all wrong
Everybody's wants our love to end
Rumours, I don't believe in those
Rumours, lots of big rumours
Rumours, it's only vicious rumours
I don't want our love to end
I don't want our love to end
Through the hollow of all my tears, I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt, ooh, that you have caused
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time, I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me
I'm all alone now, no love to shield me
Back to the world of, that stops at reality
Oh, that happiness, ah, you took from me
And you left me with only memories
Through the mirror of my mind, through all these tears I'm cryin'
Reflects the hurt I can't control
'Cause though you're gone, I keep holdin' on
Through the happy times when you were mine
As I peer through the window of lost time
Thinkin' over my yesterdays
All the love I had in vain, all the love I have wasted
All the tears I have tasted, oh, oh
Through the hollow of my tears, I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt, ooh, you have caused
Everywhere I turn, everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put all of my faith and trust
And right before my eyes, my world has turned to dust
At drop of night, I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises, all that's left of lovin' you, ooh
You got the reflection, you got the reflection
You got the reflection, the way I used to be
You got the reflection, ah, reflection
You got the reflection, ah, reflection
...2 - 3 - 4
I wanna get back home
But the bar won't close
Till ten and thirty tonight
Oh boy, good God, wot a life
Some cat down there
Split his head wide open
And the doctor died of fright
Oh, wot a life
Every woman I see she says to me
'Get back to your wife'
Everyone I know got their little problems
Boy, I wanna see some life
The Fender got busted in the second set
And the pick-up's up the pike
And the Leslie sound goes round and round
And round and round
Oh boy, good God, wot a life
Get back in my car like a movie star
It's an Austin Healey Sprite, huh
Oh boy, wot a life
I think I'll go dig some weeds down at Mrs G's
Cut the cross-bar off her bike
Oh, wot a life
Every woman I see they say to me
'Now you know what I like'
Every woman I see they fix me up
Saying, 'Get back to your wife'
Next number's called paranoia
It's the story of my life
And the gigs we do take me down and down
And down and down and down
Good God, wot a life
[Solo]
Now the next number we do is called paranoia
It's the story of my life
Oh, grrrr, wot a life
Oh oh, yea yeaI love you more than I can sayI'll love you twice as much tomorrowOh love you more than I can say
Oh oh, yea yeaI miss you every single dayWhy must my life be filled with sorrow?I love you more than I can say
Why don't you know I need you so?Oh tell me please I gotta knowDo you mean to make me cry?Am I just another guy?
Oh oh, yea yeaI miss you every single dayWhy must my life be filled with sorrow?I love you more than I can say

He sees her at the same time every nightAt the Mexican discothequeShe gives him French kissesHe gives her French cigarettes
They sit at the same table every timeThe lights are lowBut their eyes shineJust digging the music from those sweet soul bands
She keeps him outta fights, holds on to his handHe whispers slowly tonight’s the nightMonths of planning so it’s gotta be rightUnder the table her bag is busting at the seamsShe made sure to bring everything
Moonlighting, they’re leaving everythingMoonlighting, they’re losing all their friendsMoonlighting, it’s the only way, it’s frighteningBut it means they’ll stay togetherThey’re gonna make it together
His blue morris van is parked in an alleyJust by Montague streetHis friend Eddie he did the respraySo he couldn’t drive it all last week
And it cost most of the money that he had saved upTo pay Eddie’s receiptBut he figures it’s worth it ’cos the disguise is a mustWhen they go missing they’re gonna look for the van first
She whispers slowly it’ll be alrightI took some cash from my building societyAnd my monthly check came in just rightIf only they knew they weren’t giving it away
9:15 Monday morning at the printing worksThe boss notices someone’s not clocked inAnd the water department of the council offices has a messageThat Mrs. park’s daughter is missing
Meanwhile the Carlisle turnoff of the M6 MotorwayDrinking cold black coffee eating hot cup cakesShe stares at him with his beard unshavedWonders at his powers of staying awake
When it started out so easily
She was lonely I was free
I couldn't pass another lonely night on my own
She just poured her life into a drink
Looked at me said what do you think
I said you need a little loving baby
So I picked her up
She gave me all the loving that I would ever need
Oh she picked me up
I didn't know her name
I'm playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Just playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
These love games
Are tearing me apart
Oh, this game of love is burning me
No way out that I can see
It's like a fire I can't control, I can't control
Oh, they pick me up
Give me all the loving
I've ever need
Yeah, I love and run
I never know their names
Just playing love games
I keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
That these love games
Are tearing me apart
Now my love is like a fire
Burning me up
And the flames
Are getting higher
Up to my heart
I'm playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Just playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
That these love games
Are tearing me apart
I keep on playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Whether I win
Or whether I lose
I end up with a broken heart
Keep playin' love games
Ain't no doubt about it
Oh these love games
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speakin' words of wisdo-om
Let it be
And in my hour of dar-arkness
She's standing right in front of me
Speakin' words of wisdo-om - Let it be
Let it be, oh let it be-ee
Whisper wor-ords of wisdom
Oh let it be
When the night is cloudy
There's still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow-ow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speakin' words of wisdo-om
Just let it be
Let it be-ee, oh let it be-ee
And there will be an answer
Just let it be
And when the broken hearted people
Livin' in the world agree
There'll now be an answer
Oh God let it be
Though they may be parted
There's a chance that they will see
There will be an answer-er
Let it be
Let it be, let it be-ee, oh let it be-ee
Whisper words of wisdo-om
Ahh let it be
Let it be..., (let it be, let it be)
There will be an answer
Just let it be
(Let it be-ee, let it be-ee-ee-ee)
There will be an answer-er
From the window of our honeymoon
The night looks a mite bizarre
They're burning us in effigy
And smoke's blots out the stars
They're torturing our servants
By the light of an armoured car
Please don't ask if it's the end of the line
As I never could see that far
Tonight I'd rather look at you
How beautiful you are
If they ask you 'what are lovers'
Tell them 'lovers are
Set against the order
We live outside the law'
I'm no hero under torture
I'll tell them all I heard and saw
I saw everything in you, my love
How beautiful you are
[Solo]
Through a broken telescope
We focus on the stars
I don't want my vision magnified
I don't need to see that far
From the window of our honeymoon
Draw the curtains cross the bars
Let's spare ourselves the spectacle
The problem's theirs not ours
Tonight I'd rather look at you
How beautiful you are
How beautiful you are
How beautiful
How beautiful
How beautiful you are
Farewell old friend
Leave me now be gone
My soul is weak
My mind is never strong
Watch my hands at night
And see the way they're shaking
See the endless road
See the way it's taking
And it's still the same old night
And it still just don't seem right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Writing down my life
On endless scraps of paper
Years of hanging round
A life of wasted labour
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Goodnight old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come
And haunt me once again
Watch my life unfold
And see the shape it's taking
Watch my fingers write
And see the way they're shaking
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Goodnight old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come
And haunt us once again
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
Keep me steady
Don't rock me all around
Lord, I don't wanna fall down
Understand me
I wish this jet was off the ground
Look around you
And tell me what you see
Are you afraid or is it me?
I hope we make it
I hope we don't fall in the sea
And it's gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes, it's gonna be an endless flight I know
Like a flyin' bird in the night
The wind is strong but I hope I'm right
And this will be the end of this endless flight
Make me happy
Just let me see the light
I hope the runaway path is near
The look the captain gave
Was it confidence or fear?
Oh, was it fear?
And it's gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes, it's gonna be an endless flight I know
Like a flyin' bird in the night
The wind is strong but I hope I'm right
And this will be the end of this endless flight
And it's gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes, it's gonna be an endless flight I know
Like a flyin' bird in the night
The wind is strong but I hope I'm right
And this the end of this endless flight
Yes, it's gonna be an endless flight
Until we reach the ground tonight
Yes, it's gonna be an endless flight I know
Like a flyin' bird in the night
The wind is strong, I know I'm right
You hold my life in your hands
You build me as if I were a king
Your heart does not understand
I give you my everything
Oh the night that started with wine
Is ending just like it was a dream
I held her glove in my hand
I gave her my everything
Drop back
She said to me go back
Drop back
I fail to see why I
Should drop back
I held the cards in my hand
They fooled me just a pack of lies
It seems they wrecked all my plans
God knows how I really tried
Oh that night that started with wine
It's ending just like it was a dream
I hold her glove in my hand
I gave her my everything
Drop back
She said to me go back
Drop back
I fail to see why I
Should drop back
[Solo]
Drop back
She said to me go back
Drop back
I fail to see why I
They say that we could be in love
They say that we could be
They say we'll fall
Like others will fall
Don't tell me that it's over
You know you'll break my heart
Don't tell me that it's over
You'll see me fall apart
Don't tell that it's over
Or else I, well I might fall apart
Now, when we first met
I was just a poor boy on the street
And you looked at me and took me in
Yeah, and knocked me off my feet
Now you don't really wanna break things up
The things we've been through, boy they're enough
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't say that it's over
You know you'll break my heart
Don't tell me that it's over
You'll see me fall apart
Don't tell that it's over
Or else I, well I might fall apart
They say that we could be in love

they say that men are always supposed to actlike they're not really tryin'but when I come on cool nobody seems to noticeit's a mysteryit's a mystery to me
I don't need you to mend my broken heart
Not afraid you can throw your sticks and stones
But this love is tearing me apart
I've got a wounded heart
And it won't stop beating
Tried to keep it a casual affair
Nonetheless we get careless 'cos we care
Why does love make me fall apart
It only hurts my heart
And it won't stop beating
Got a wounded heart
And it won't stop beating
No matter what I do
A wounded heart
That keeps repeating
I'm missing you
Missing you
Got a wounded heart
And it won't stop leading
Me right back to you
A wounded heart
Do you need me like I need you
You know I'm tryin'
To get some piece of mind
But I can't seem to put
The past behind
I don't want you
Living in my dreams
No matter how it seems
I don't want you
I gotta wounded heart
And it won't stop beating
No matter what I do
A wounded heart
That keeps repeating
I'm missing you
Missing you
Got a wounded heart
And it won't stop leading
Me right back to you
A wounded heart
You need me like I need you
[Solo]
Oh you know I'm missing you, ooh
I gotta wounded heart
And it won't stop beating
No matter what I do
A wounded heart
That keeps repeating
I'm missing you
I'm missing you, missing you
Got a wounded heart
And it won't stop leading
Me right back to you
A wounded heart
Keeps repeating
I am the voice
I am the radio
You hear me loud and clear
Across the open sky
Into the night
You hear me loud and clear
I was thinking you're a part of my mind
Breathing sleeping talking two of a kind
I'm the voice in your head
(do you read me)
The word you just said
(do you hear me)
Aah - the world goes spinning around
Aah - and you all join in with the sound
Aah - we sing with one voice
Like a world radio
Aah - we sing with one voice
Like a world radio
I feel the pain
I feel the joy and love
You hear it loud and clear
But should the music stop
I'll feel so low
I'll fade and disappear
I'm just thinking that we're two of a kind
Think I know what's going on in your mind
When the red light goes on
(can you tell me)
Is your green light still on
(do your hear me)
Aah - the world goes spinning around
Aah - and you all join in with the sound
Aah - we sing with one voice
We're a world radio
Aah - we sing with one voice
We're a world radio
The world goes spinning around
Aah - we all join in with the sound
Aah - we sing with one voice
Like a world radio
We join in with the sound
The world goes spinning, spinning around
Aah - we sing with one voice
We're a world radio
[Solo]
Aah - we sing with one voice
We're a world radio
Radio
Is the green light on
(can you tell me)
Don't put your red light on

Sun's up, mm, hmm, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking about eternity
And this ecstasy's got a hold on me
Yeah, I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as frightening as they were before
I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
Walls windows trees, waves coming through
You'll be into me and I'll be into you
Together in eternity
All this ecstasy's got a hold on me
And I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Big orange flying boat rises off the lake
Thousand-year-old dinosaur doing a double take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting here in the middle of this ecstasy
Last night again there where lions at the door
But I wasn't frightened like I was before
Thinking about eternity
And the ecstasy that's got a hold on me
And I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
I'm wonderin'
[Solo]
Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days we're going to sail away
Sail into eternity
All this ecstasy's got a hold on me
And I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Tell me where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Tell me where the lions are
Tell me where the lions are
Tell me where they are

People die laughing upon the ground
They don't know why they fall
I have got nothing, at least so I say
Got my song and my music that's all
People look worried crowding around
Messing around with their dreams
Tomorrow they'll wake up in a new life
And they'll start all over again
Because tomorrow is the first day
Of the rest of your life
You just remember when you're worried
Everything is gonna be alright
Ah yes tomorrow is the first day
Of the rest of your life
You just remember when you're worried
Everything is gonna be alright
Come on you people all over the world
Realise you're one and the same
Tomorrow you'll wake up in a new life
And you'll start all over again, oh yes you will
Oh yes tomorrow is the first day
Of the rest of your life
Look you just remember when you're worried
Everything is gonna be alright
Oh yes tomorrow is the first day
Of the rest of your life
You just remember when you're worried
Everything is gonna be alright
Yes everything is gonna be alright
Yes everything has gotta be alright
Everything
Standing here alone with you
wondering what it is
that I'm supposed to do
there you are with a love light
in your eyes
the bridges I've burnt down
your arms are open wide. Am I in too deep
or should I swim to the shore
is this the real
this I don't know
'Cos I've never been there before.
I feel thunder in my heart that I just can't control
I feel thunder in my heart should I walk away
or follow my soul. I feel thunder in my heart
where it comes from I just don't know.
There's a storm raging deep in my soul
there's a howling wind I just can't control
there's a fire inside me I can't explain
Everytime you touch me my love falls like rain
I've only know you for an hour or more
the time is standing still your love has opened up the door.
I feel thunder in my heart it takes my breath away
I feel thunder in my heart will I ever be the same
I feel thunder in my heart it's telling me you here to stay
there's a thunder in my heart
there's a thunder in my heart
there's a thunder in my heart.
Take me baby I'm all yours do just what you wanna do
with my love. Let's not let the night overtake us
what's happening right now may make or break us
do you feel the way I do open up your heart now
Baby
I'm coming through.
I feel thunder in my heart it takes my breath away
was a face I love and I knew
Baby
although I chose this lonely life
It seems it's strangling me now
AII the wild men with big cigars and gigantic cars
They're all laughing at me now.
Oh! I've been used oo-hoo
I've been taken for a fool - oh what a fool
I broke all the rules
oh yeah
But I won't let the show go on.
Baby there's an enormous crowd of people
And they're all after my blood
I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls
Of this theatre and let me out - let me out.
Oh! I've been so blind
oh yeah
I've wasted tine
wasted
wasted
oh so much time
Walking on the wire
the wire
But I won't let the show go on.
Baby
I wish you'd help me escape
And help me get away
Leave me outside my address
Fa@r away from this masquerade
I've been so used I've been so abused
I've been a fool I broke all the rules
I've been so used oh and abused
But I won't let the show go
I won't let the show
Though he heard her clearly
She said it so sincerely
That's something that he doesn't understand
Her words were choked and broken
She left him with a token
The note he is holding in his hand
(Don't let me down, don't let me down)
Is this the end of the game
And will you put out the flame
And fly away
Don't fly away
Now let's find out who's too blame
And start all over again
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Way across the city
Waiting on a taxi
Holding cases
Standing in the hall
Thinking 'well if only'
She's feeling sad and lonely
Hoping 'gainst all hope that he will call
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Is this the end of the game
And should I put out the flame
And fly away, and fly away
And if I walk out again
Is it true that the pain
Will fly away, fly away
Fly away
The taxi driver's talking
But she doesn't hear a single word he says
Fly away,
The tears fall so easily
Keep falling 'til she climbs aboard the plane
And it's the end of the game
With only fortune to blame
[Solo]
Yes, it's the end of the game
But love was given in vain
Sail away, sail away
Just like the sunshine and rain
It's true that one day will pain will fly away
I'm leaving the smog below me now
I'm leaving my troubles on the ground
I'm watching those smoke stacks just blaze away
The sky will be blue never grey
The future is filled with wasted time
I can't see the road I'm going blind
I'm laughing on all of my future plans
Shining like gold in my hand
Isn't it funny how you reach me
You know exactly what I'm thinking
You're always helping me from sinking
It's your way
Hello, this is London calling
Is my flight due
Hello, is there someway
I can reach you
Isn't it funny when you call me
You call me up while I'm sleeping
You're always helping me from sinking
It's your way
Now this is the end of all my dreams
The drumming has stopped behind my ears
There's no looking back 'cos I'm too far away
Shaking like mad in the daze
Then out of the night you join me here
The people around me, they disappear
And I hear your voice and you speak to my eyes
And everything comes alive
Isn't it funny how you read me
You know exactly what I'm thinking
You're always helping me from sinking
It's your own way, it's your way, it's your way
Hello, this is London calling
Is my flight due
Hello, is there someway
I can reach you
Oh, I said hello, hello, this is London calling
Is my flight due
Is there someway, maybe
I can reach you
Isn't it funny how you reach me
You call me up when I am sleeping
You're always helping me from sinking
It's your way, it's your way
you contendthat you'll never got back to her againyou're as free as a night without endso you tell your friendsjust what you had to endurewhen you told her never, never againand as the room about you starts to bendyou pretend
that you've taken the easy way outthough you know ehn you told her last nightyou were fakin' the easy way outwith one hand reachin' fo the doorbut your feet weren't movin'they were nailed to the flooras she told you once morethere's no easy way to get out
she's not like youshe'd rather stay at home'n' not get the bluesand if you ever do try to intrudeshe's so respectfully rudeso it was hard to believelast night while you were drunk 'n'threatening to leavethat she walked through the door with such ease'n' threw you the key
and she's takin' the easy way outand you're alone with no number to callshe's taken the easy way outwith one hand reachin' for the doorand you so speechlessmarooned on the floorshe walked out of your lifecouldn't stand it no morenow you're all on your own'cos she's taken the easy way out
you know she's taken the easy way outoh, but your pride will only admit to a lieyeah, she's taken the easy way outbut, to your friendsyou're the hero of the nightdrowning with beef all the tears in your eyeshopin' it don't show that you're dyin' inside'cause you can't quite believethat she's taken the easy way out
sometimes you can be like a strangerin moments when you're so far awayin the night when I reach out to hold youyou just turn away, why do you turn away
oh, I love you so when you're smilin'but your smile has faded overnightwill we stay like this for a lifetimegettin' nothin' right, gettin' nothin' right
why do we always have stormy weatherwhy do we have it so roughis it so hard just to stay close togetherwhy can't we ever have love
oh, I knew from the first time I saw youI just had to make you minefelt so sad when you told meabout your troubled life, all about your troubled life
so here we are just a few years furtherstill tryin' to make it workI've a feelin' what we really need right now, girlis just a little love, oh baby, just a little love
the papers lie there hopelesslyin a pile outside the doorI tried and tried, but I just can't rememberwhat they're forthe world outside is tugginglike a beggar at my sleeveah, that's much too old a story to believe
and you know, that it's taken it's share of meeven though you take such good care of me
now you say morocco, and that makes me smileI haven't seen morocco for a long, long whilethe dreams are rolling downacross the places in my mindand I just had a taste of something fine
the future hides and the past just slidesengland lies betweenfloating in a silver mist, so cold and so cleancalifornia's shading like some angry child willwho has asked for love and isn't answered still
and you know that I'm looking back carefully'cause I know that there's still something there for me
but you said morocco and it made me smileand it hasn't been that easy for a long, long whilelooking back into your eyesoh, I saw them really shineand giving me a taste of something fine
something fine
now if you see morocco, oh I know you'll go in styleI may not see morocco for a little whilebut while you're there I was hoping youmight keep it in your mindto save me a taste of something fine

sad eyes you knew thered come a day when we would
have to say goodbye
I feel so lost and lonely
Standing by the river Seine
I don't know how I got here or why I came
But everywhere I see her smiling face
I remember
We met somewhere in the back streets
In this city of another age
And talking broken English 'til the darkness came
And in my room she called me by my name
And she whispered
Paris dies in the morning
That's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no, no
It disappears in the sunshine
It's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
It's always gonna be that way
When we made love in that hotel
Like I never made before
Thought I could die
When she whispered slow
Marai toujours
She was wild and enchanting
The night was like a dream
We danced and sang the
Sweetest harmony
The words come back so clear
I remember when we sang
Paris dies in the morning
That's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no, no
[Solo]
When I awoke in the morning
She was nowhere to be found
That's why I'm standing
Waiting a t this river's edge
I know we'll never meet again
It was true when she said
Paris dies in the morning
(It ends this way)
The moment when it steals your heart
And then it loves you
Paris dies I the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no no
She disappeared in the morning light
She said that it would end this way
Did not believe her
Paris dies in the morning light
I know we'll never meet again
[Solo]
I know we'll never meet again
She's gone
To tell the truth it's really such a sad affairstanding here waiting in the cold night airbut I've got to make this call'cause my heart is breaking.
I hear the bips drop a coin in the slothas it been that longI thought you'd forgotten mewell I know that it's getting latebut I just couldn't wait
will I have the nerve to sayI just wanna come backyou shouldn't just go awayI just wanna come back
I've been struck by such a bad luckI need a place a little happiness and some loveI think I can see it nownow let me paint the picture

A dream come true

Magdalena sits in her chair
Speaking on the mass
She talks in splice and splinters
She laughs not breaking glass
She says that she would have me
Spirit her away
Stealing all my images
Till there's nothin' left to say
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
She tells me that she wants me
Then she tells me not to bother
She tells me that I couldn't hold
A candle to her father
She knows that she's got me
When I start to rave about
She'll just smile and flash her eyes
And blow the candle out
Oh, Magdalena
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Magdalena lying there
Could make a dancer stumble
Make a preacher bite his tongue
And leave him with a mumble
And if you think I'm crazy, babe
Or that I'm kiddin' you
Just pay your dues and lose your blues
When she gets her tongue in you
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Well, I can't be forgotten and I can't be ignored
You find me with my poems and my songs
But if upon your journey, you're returning to L.A.
Won't you take this little red-haired girl along?
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like a saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, Magdalena
Standing here alone with you
Wondering what it is that I'm supposed to do
There you are with the love light in your eyes
The bridges are down and your arms are open wide
Am I in too deep or should I swim to the shore
Is this the real thing? I don't know cos I've never been here before
And I feel a thunder in my heart
That I just can't control
I feel a thunder in my heart
Should I walk away or follow my soul
I feel a thunder in my heart
Where it comes from I just don't know
Oh no
There's a storm raging deep in my soul
There's a howling wind that I just can't control
There's a fire inside me I can't explain
Every time you touch me my love falls like rain
I've only known you for an hour or more
But the time is standing still
Your love has opened up the door
And I feel a thunder in my heart
That takes my breath away
I feel a thunder in my heart
Will I ever be the same
I feel a thunder in my heart
It's tellin' me you're here to stay
Oh no...
Oooh yeh...
There's a thunder in my heart
There's a thunder in my heart
There's a thunder in my heart
There's a thunder in my heart
Take me baby I'm all yours
Do just what you wanna do with my love
Let's not let the night overtake us
Cos what's happening right now may make or break us
Do you feel the way I do?
Open up your heart baby I'm comin' through
I feel a thunder in my heart
Takin' my breath away
I feel a thunder in my heart
Since I met you I've never been the same
I feel a thunder in my heart
And I know you're here to stay
I feel a thunder in my heart
I know I'll never never control
so you're leavingin the morningon the early trainI could say everything's alrightI could pretend and say good bye
got your ticketgot your suitcasegot your leaving smileI could say that's the way it goesI could pretend and you won't knowthat I was lying
'cause I can't stop loving youI can't stop loving youno, I can't stop loving youthough I try
took a taxito the stationnot a word was saidI saw you walk across the roadmaybe the last time, I don't know
feeling humbleI heard a rumbleon the railway trackand when I hear the whistle blowI walk away and you don't knowthat I was lying
'cause I can't stop loving youno, I can't stop loving youI can't stop loving youthough I try
How much love do you need
Before you give your love to me?
How much time before it grows
How much love
I wanna know.
What can I do
what can I say?
The last thing I want is to drive you away.
How much love does it take
How much love
for heaven's sake?
How much love
how much love
Do I rush right in or do I hesitate
How much love
how much love
how much love.
Am I trying too hard
give me some kind of clue.
There must be a way to get through to you.
Shall I come on strong or do I hesitate
Do I rush right in or do I wait.
How much love
how much love
. . .
I got so much love
don't know where to begin
I'm pleading with you
babe
you gotta let me in.
How much love
how much love
. . .
I got so much love
don't know where to begin
. . .
How much love do you need
Before you give yourself to me
Shall I come on strong or do I hesitate
Do I rush right in or do I wait
How much love
how much love
I live in the times
That you left behind
I sold 'em my mind for nickels and dimes
I must have been blind
I search for the cause
That has no reward
I've tried to move on
But everyone's gone on and I
Can't get it back
No, I can't get it back
I'm always reaching for the right track
Where has it gone why can't I get it back
Where have my heroes gone
I've no-one to hold on to
I'm out here standing on a landslide
I'm out here falling through a paper sky
Where have my heroes gone
I've nothing to hold onto
Lost in a daze
I'll never erase
When radio waves
Would take us away
On dreams that we've made
Like an old song
I just don't belong
But I try to be strong
So let the music roll on
We can't get it back
Yes, I can't get it back
I'm always listening for the right track
And when it's gone I wanna play it back
Where have my heroes gone
I've no-one left to hold on to
I'm out here standing on a landslide
I'm out here falling through a paper sky
Where have my heroes gone
I've no one left to hold on to, oh
(Don't let those heroes die
Their songs have changed our lives
They came they saw
They conquered all
Don't let them die
And say goodbye
Am I always searching for the right track
Where have they have gone
Why can't I get it back
Where have my heroes gone
I've no-one left to hold on to
I'm out here standing on a landslide
I'm out here falling through a paper sky
Where have my heroes gone
I've no one left to hold on to
They're gone
(Don't let those heroes die
Their songs have changed our lives
They came they saw
They conquered all
Don't let them die
nowadays they want a soldier fighternot a preacher writer or a mystery mansomebody told me that the future's brightermake tomorrow lighter put it in your hands

We giving up on all the emptiness
I fill it up with your sweet love beside me.
Ain't no fun to be a rolling stone inside
You buy the feeling and you pay with tears.
For what it matters you flow with the motion
Then out of nowhere there's a full moon rising
And it's mine.
And every
every moment is the history we make - and more
We got a legacy of understanding
I can love you better
But donY let your -
Heart stop beating in time
Don't take me below the danger level.
Caught up in the middle of a misery -
Don't let me die.
And I warn you if you let your
Heart stop beating in time
Don't make it a fatal combination
I won't ever find another your love no more.
Got to get closer
got to be in sight
You make it heaven to breathe with you woman.
Don't you get lonely in the midnight hour like me?
And there's an angel that I follow on the wind - and more
Within a universe of undiscovered eyes
We found each other
so don't let your -
Heart stop beating
in time
Don't take me below the danger level.
Caught up in the middle of a misery.
Oh baby
don't let it be.
Save my soul
I don't wanna be no chains that hold
Gotta be a wild new world out.
There is a plan
I don't wanna be no one night stand
Gonna be alive for you down.
Here is the love I can hold out in my hand
And you can feel it I'm nothing if you let your -
Heart stop beating in time
. . .
Don't let your heart stop beating in time

Don't wait until tomorrow
Only fools hesitate
Take hold of every chance that's offered to you
Don't say it can wait that never will do

He was working for the airline one day
And out on the street the next
The company always came first with him
She came second best
His life was aviation
He was rising fast
They let him go
He became
A victim of the past
She lost her job the same month
At "Fashions For You"
She lost her chance of ever seeing Paris
Lost the baby too
They took all their belongings
And managed to get a loan
And put it all into this broken down building
That called itself a restaurant
He waits tables
She does the cooking
He can remember
Seeing her look so beautiful
And now she is just fading away
She waits tables
He does the cooking
They don't owe nobody nothing
If there's a God up there in heaven
Must have lost his touch
Maybe he's out to lunch
His life was aviation
He was rising fast
But who needs expert in fuel conservation
When the planes are out of gas
He still reads "Aviation"
When he has the time
And if he gets to talk to God he's gonna
Give him a piece of his mind, yeah
He waits tables
She does the cooking
He can remember
Seeing her look so beautiful
Now she's just fading away
She waits tables
He does the cooking
They don't owe nobody nothing
If there's a God up there in heaven
He must have lost his touch
Maybe he's out for lunch
He waits tables
She does the cooking
He can remember
Seeing her look so beautiful
Now she is just fading away
She waits tables
He does the cooking
They don't owe nobody nothing
If there's a God up there in heaven
Maybe he's not to blame
