I still remember what I saw last night
Three small kids stealing money from a poor man
Now that ain't right - no that ain't right
I'm still thinking 'bout the things I heard
Poor old man - he was frightened and afraid of every word
- and it's all so absurd
But times are changing now an d I still care
There must be something we can do out there
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
I keep on walkin' through these run down streets
Graffiti walls - this ain't nothing like it used to be
Not for you or for me
This town's never been so down before
Looks like a photograph - someone mighta taken in
the second world war
Oh but what was that for
So many people gave their lives for this
There's nothing left for us to reminisce
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
When those sad days were over
I'm sure they all thought that weld won
But now as I look around
We're still invaded by everyone
Things won't ever be the same again
I've not lost a town - I've lost my only friend
Oh but where does it end
We'll never change these times with good intent
But right now I know I don't feel content
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
J. Spinks
I can't believe the things that happen to me
I guess that I should have seen a long, long time ago
Letters you write don't help me get through the night
So I'll just turn out the light
and sleep here all alone
(Chorus)
All the love, all the love in the world
All the love, I'll be sending you girl
All the love
All the love in the world
Time after time I put my life on the line
But I ain't committed no crime, so take what you can find
Forget what I say cos I'll keep running away
I only live for today, but I'm one day behind
(Chorus)
These are the words that I whisper on every first night
but that day you left me
those words were on that same flight
I can't believe the things that happen to me
I guess that I should have seen a long, long time ago
Letters you write don't help me get through the night
so I'll just turn out the light
and sleep here all alone
(Chorus)
I'm closing up - I'm closing in
Couldn't wait for this moment to come
Couldn't wait for this day to begin
Won't be afraid - got so much pride
And I've never been a loser
And I just can't lose tonight
(Chorus)
Winning it all -ain't gonna walk away
Giving it all - no matter what you say
Ain't gonna fall - don't wanna lose today
Winning it all
This time it's right - my time has come
Gonna give everything that I've got
Till it's over and victory's won
No second chance - no giving up
Because no one remembers a loser
And I don't intend to be one
She no lady
One bad girl
She go crazy
Private world
I can hear the people talkin'
From a million miles away
I don't care what they been thinkin'
I don't care what they say
She's unrespectable
Unrespectable
She's so easy
Got no class
Good time baby
Love don't last
I wake up in the morning
Don't believe the things I said
I never walk the streets with you girl
I wouldn't kick you outta bed
She's so unrespectable
Unrespectable
So unrespectable
Unrespectable
Sht still shake me
Night and day
Never learnt her lesson
I'm still treating her the same
Like any Mona Lisa
She ain't never gonna change
She's so unrespectable
Unrespectable
So unacceptable
Picture an ocean - that no one else can see
A sea of emotion - just made for you and me
I'd promise you anything if you'd - listen to my plea
(Chorus)
And if you let me love you - I'd show you the way it
should be
Yes if you let me love you - I'll show you the way it
should be
Picture a sad man - alone inside his dreams
It's just how I feel when - I try to make you see
That you could have anything if you'd - put your trust
in me
(Chorus)
I'm always afraid of what you might think of me
It could all be the same - the way that it used to be
Picture a castle where - a fool is all you see
I'm living in hope that one day - you might rescue me
'Cos I'd wait forever if I - thought you'd set me free
It's just a matter of time
So don't walk away
This song is nothing without you
That's all I can say
You know you'd break my hear - if you
Push my love away
But I can't wait another day
Tonight you're mine girl
It's just a matter of time
So don't you forget it
You've told me so many times
That I won't regret it
Some things are easy to do - yet they're
Still so hard to say
But I can't wait another day
If there's no light and you can't see
Down the end of this road
I'll be a voice in the darkness
I'll still be there if your dreams overload
It's just a matter of time
I'm not pretending
Oh this happens once in a lifetime
And I don't see it ending
There's nothing else I can do - because you
Make me feel this way
Cos I can't wait another day
Young Love - bigger than anything
You're waitin' for a girl to ring
Talkin' bout young love
And I don't want anyone else to call your name
And I don't think anyone else could feel the same
(Chorus)
I can't stop thinkin' about
The way she's holding it out
I'm talkin' bout young love
Young love - bigger than everything
Shines like a diamond ring
Talkin' bout young love
And I don't think anyone else could understand
And I don't want anyone else to be your man
(Chorus)
And I don't want anyone else to call your name
And I don't think anyone else could feel the same
Young love - bigger than everything
Waitin' for the bells to ring
Talkin' bout young love
Na na na na - na na na na na young love
I could tell just be sitting downstairs
I had you in the palm of my hand
You could see that I didn't wanna stay
Knew I wanted lovin' like a man
I could feel your hands perspiring
You could see my temperature rising
(Chorus)
Take me home and we can dance all night
Shake me baby - makes me feel alright
Gimme some loving - till the broad day light
Take me home and we can dance all - dance all night
I could tell it was gettin' kinda late
Couldn't wait to get you all alone
You could see that I didn't wanna wait
I can't wait for you to take me home
Come together perfect timing
This could all be so exciting
(Chorus)
When I touch you set my hands on fire
But I just can't keep my eyes off you
You're the one that fills me with desire
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything you want me to
Don't think twice if the devil's gonna take
you home tonight
You feel so fine and I'll soon be makin'
love to you
I still believe in a perfume garden
You get me beatin' something startin'
If your hands are tied
Don't be afraid
A chance in a lifetime
Is on its way
If you're out tonight
In shoes of glass
Make it by midnight
The future might pass
(Chorus)
The facts of life ain't changing
They don't care about you
The hands of time ain't waiting
They'll go on without you
Baby - take it all
Baby - take it all
For once in your life
You got it made
A sign of the times
The past is paid
So leave it behind
Don't be ashamed
Innocent girl
In a man's world
(Chorus)
IF I SAID THESE WORDS
A THOUSAND TIMES
WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME?
IF I GAVE YOU MY PROMISE FOREVER
WOULD YOU DECEIVE ME?'
I DON'T CARE IF THE WHOLE WORLD OUTSIDE
IS ONE LOCOMOTION
WHEN I SEE YOU TONIGHT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE LOVE IN SLOW MOTION
IF I TOLD YOU
I WAS A CLOWN
WOULD YOU BELIEVE Me'
IF I GAVE YOU MY SHOULDER TO CRY ON
WOULD YOU DECEIVE ME
IT CAN HAPPEN JUST ONCE IN A LIFETIME
ACCEPT EVERY NOTION
WHEN I SEE YOU TONIGHT
WE?RE GONNA MAKE LOVE IN SLOW MOTION
I WOULD COUNT EVERY STAR IN THE SKY
TO PROVE MY DEVOTION
WHEN I SEE YOU TONIGHT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE LOVE IN SLOW MOTION
IF I WAS ACCUSED
WITHOUT A CRIME
WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME?
IF I WAS INNOCENT
TIME AFTER TIME
WOULD YOU DECEIVE ME?
THIS CAN HAPPEN JUST ONCE IN A LIFETIME
ACCEPT EVERY NOTION
WHEN I SEE YOU TONIGHT
WE?RE GONNA MAKE LOVE IN SLOW MOTION
I WOULD CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN
I'D SAIL EVERY OCEAN
WHEN I SEE YOU TONIGHT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE LOVE IN SLOW MOTION
WHEN I SEE YOU TONIGHT
Just play the game and throw the dice
You might not win but you can't lose tonight
Just watch this fairy tale unfold
You won't believe all the things you've been told
Young or old
Somewhere in America
Somewhere in America tonight
Another town another place
ANother name but you don't know the face
A joker deals and makes the rules
A game of chance a game that was made for fools
Like me and you
Somewhere in America
Somewhere in America tonight
Tonight
Don't wave a flag unless it's white
Don't make a noise unless you're prepared to fight
Wrong or right
Somewhere in America
Somewhere in America tonight
Somewhere in America
I know you look real nice little girl
I better not catch a surprise little girl hey -yea
I'm taking a chance on your love
I know what's on your mind little girl
You better got nothing to hide little girl hey - yea
I'm taking a chance on your love
(Chorus)
An' if it's over and done
I know I spent one night in heaven
Stimulate my mind little girl
Talk ain't gonna be cheap tonight hey - yea
I'm taking a chance on you love
You've always done me right little girl
A pack a' lies between the sheets tonight
I'm taking a chance on your love
(chorus)
Somebody's daughter - dangerous game
I'm just a late night caller
She just cost me more than all
The money in my pocket but
I don't regret a single coin I paid
It hit me with her final touch
I've never beat the moon so much
An' everything I did she did again
(Chorus)
No surrender
Even if it's over
No surrender
Stop pretending
You never cared for me
'Cos I remember
Words that we shared
A promise to keep
If they meant nothing to you
Well they still mean a whole lot to me
(Chorus)
And if you tell me
To just walk away
And forget you forever
Then all I would say
Is no surrender
Even if you leave me
No surrender
Stop pretending
You never said those things
'Cos I remember
I remember
One small mistake
Turned into a crime
Oh but if I take the blame
You can go but I won't say goodbye
(Chorus)
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life living for the night
I don't wanna spend the rest of my time hiding when I know I'm right
Don't wanna wake up in a cold sweat praying for the day to come
Don't wanna chase my tail until my legs are old and gone
(Chorus)
I'm like a target always on the run
A moving target while the day is long
No need to shoot me down my time will come
It won't be long - it won't be long
I don't wann spend the rest of my life
Like a story from a book
I don't wanna be afraid
When people start to look
I don't wanna have to say
That I'd rather be alone
I don't wanna have to change so much
I'm someone I don't know
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Cherry, where you've been since 9 this mornin'?
Give me all the names who saw you there
But if they can't remember, I know that you'll surrender
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, what's that game you think you're playin'?
Don't you know I hate those clothes you wear
For I've seen men undress you and with their eyes caress you
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, name the day and I'll be waitin'
Give me just one chance to show I care
I know if we're together it can go on forever
Got a letter from a mystery man
In between the lines - he don't understand
He's on a mission in Mozambique
The room is wired and I just can't speak
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
In the middle of it all - he just says goodbye, goodbye
Got to get there just as fast I can
A pink carnation on a mystery man
A rendezvous in Romania
Double agents in Australia
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
In the middle of it all - he just says goodbye, goodbye (Ahh!)
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
In the middle of it all - he just says goodbye, goodbye
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
(Chorus)
It's better than nothing girl
It's better than nothing at all
It's better than nothing girl
It's better than nothing
Let's find a hideaway tonight
Somewhere where we can be together
I'm tired of waiting for the right time
If this is not the Ritz whatever
(Chorus)
I wanna hold more than your hand
I wanna touch more than emotion
You don't need words to understand
This hole might be run down and broken
(Chorus)
Don't think because I just can't wait that I don't care
This isn't meant to be a back seat love affair
YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF LUCK
I KNOW THAT YOU CAN BE FOUND
EACH TIME I GET A HOLD ON YOU BABY
YOU KEEP ON KNOCKING ME DOWN
THIS TIME COULD BE YOUR LAST CHANCE BABY
SO DON'T BE MESSING AROUND
LAY DOWN LAY DOWN YOUR LOVE
LAY DOWN YOUR LOVE ON ME
LAY DOWN LAY DOWN YOUR LOVE
LAY DOWN YOUR LOVE ON ME
I?VE NEVER BEEN STOOD UP SO DON'T BE LETTING ME DOWN
THIS WEEK I'M ON A ROLLOVER BABY
SO DON'T BE PLAYING AROUND
YOU MIGHT BE DRIVING A FAST CAR BABY
DON'T DRIVE ME OUT OF THIS TOWN
LAY DOWN LAY DOWN YOUR LOVE
LAY DOWN YOUR LOVE ON ME
LAY DOWN LAY DOWN YOUR LOVE
LAY DOWN YOUR LOVE ON ME
Yellowman - dealing in a back street
Sinnerman - he's telling you it's never enough
Nobody there - inside the mind he wasted
(Chorus)
In a city where it's all gone wrong
Too many people and they don't belong
Suffocating on the air they breathe
Selling their souls for the magic seed
Pretty girl - standing in a doorway
At a price - offering a bed for the night
Nobody cares - a sign of the life she's wasted
(Chorus)
So afraid - nowhere else to go now
Far far away - there's a place
that you once called home - but
(chorus)
Yellowman - you can't buy me
Sinnerman - pretty girl
You said you see me running
and that is no surprise
When I was far from danger
I opened my eyes
Now I look back in anger
for I did nothing wrong
It's just a race for strangers
and this race goes on
I'm so glad that I don't need her
And I'm too tired of trying to please her
But in the end I just can't leave her
can't leave her tonight
You've got a different story
from anything that I've been told
But you evade the glory
come in from the cold
Don't wait until tomorrow
don't push it back another day
Don't try to hide your sorrow
what else can I say?
I'm so glad that I don't need her
And I'm too tired of trying to please her
But in the end I just can't leave her
can't leave her tonite, nah!
You said you see me running
but that was no surprise
When I was far from danger
I opened my eyes
I'm so glad that I don't need her
And I'm too tired of trying to please her
But in the end I just can't leave her
can't leave her tonight
I'm so glad that I don't need her
And I'm too tired of trying to please her
But in the end I just can't leave her
YOU ASK ME IF TIMES HAVE CHANGED
AND I REFUSE TO BE A LIAR
JUST LIKE A FOOL I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
IT'S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME - BUT IT AIN'T OVER
YOU COULDN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND BUT IT AIN'T OVER
IF YOU NEED ME CALL MY NAME
THOUGH MY LOVE IS NOT FOR HIRE
STOP THE PAIN START TO LIVE AGAIN
IT'S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME - BUT IT AIN'T OVER
YOU COULDN?T MAKE UP YOUR MIND BUT IT AIN'T OVER
I GET HURT - EACH TIME YOU TELL THOSE LITTLE WHITE LIES
CAN'T SLEEP WHAT'S WRONG I STILL THINK ABOUT YOU ALL NIGHT LONG
I YOU LEAVE ME NOTHING?S LEFT
YOU COULD STEAL MY HEART?S DESIRE
DON'T BE CRUEL I?M STILL IN LOVE IN WITH YOU
IT'S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME - BUT IT AIN'T OVER
YOU COULDN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND BUT IT AIN'T OVER
I YOU NEED ME CALL MY NAME
I'm just a fool - no disguise
I still get hurt - same old pride
But growing older - I've realized
There's not a place - in my life - tonight
(Chorus)
I ain't gonna leave this town no more
I'm sorry for the times that I did before
I'm going back to where my heart came from
I ain't gonna leave this town again
I'm sorry for the things I did but then
I didn't realize where I belonged
Shakin' the blues - every night
Been all alone - no surprise
Don't you forget me - I'm so blind
I'm coming back - one more time - tonight
(Chorus)
If these streets were empty
With nothing to see
You could take me from this town
Oh but you won't take this town out of me
Too many years - can't forget
So many dreams - ain't done yet
An' all of these memories - still the same
I'm going home - and I'll remain - unchanged
Inside your skin - there's a girl I want to know
Inside your skin - you could let my feelings grow
Where do I begin - to tell you that I want you so
(Chorus)
Doesn't matter what color you are
Doesn't matter if you're so far away
Inside your arms - I would always feel secure
Inside your arms - I would always be so sure
Tearing us apart - would only make me want you more
(Chorus)
Think about a world - free of pain
Think about a world - where nothing changed
Always the same
Inside your heart - no one's ever been before
Inside your heart - someone who remained so pure
Knowing where to stop or to start
Telling you I want you more
(Chorus)
Looks like she came from the sixties
Wearing flowers in her hair
Still in love with Sgt. Pepper
Seen it all 'cos she was there
Saving up her memories for another rainy day - Jane
Sending out an invitation
Tries to hide her dream affair
Confidential information
Making headlines everywhere
She could tell the truth and watch the words get
re-arranged - Jane
Look at all these nowhere people
Little piggies everywhere
Never keeps their name or number
String of pearls that she can't wear
One day all her secrets might be in the news
again - Jane
Saving up her memories for another rainy day - Jane
One day all her secrets might be in the news
J. Spinks
I'm not the one to tell you what clothes to wear
I'm not the one who talks about your hair
I'm not the one to show you how I feel inside
I'm not the one to say how much I care
(Chorus)
Everytime you cry I cry just a little bit
-cry just a little bit
When you say goodbye, I die just a little bit
-cry just a little bit more
I know it's late, I guess I should have called today
I know you're tired of waiting by the phone
I know you said-you just don't know how long you'll wait
I know that you can live your life alone
(Chorus)
In a world where you think there's no one but you
But everytime you need someone to dry your eyes
You call my name and know that I'll be there
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
One look - one touch - no chance
I know what you're thinking
Your move- you're mixed up - no choice
Say you get the meaning
And I'm not leaving here without you baby
I like everything I've seen
(Chorus)
Tonight we're just a little bit close
Tonight it's just the way it's gonna be yea'
Tonight I'm just a little bit closer
Tonight you're just a little bit closer to me
One day - one line - untied
And we can talk it over
She's hooked - she's mine - I say
Stay a little longer
An' I'm still waitin' on you baby
An' I've got anything you need
(Chorus)
Don't say - ya' too shy - hand jive
Anyway you want it
I'm here - all right - up tight
Ain't no doubt about it
And I'm not leaving here without you baby
I like everything I've seen
I see your face across a crowded room
I hear you say that you'll be leaving soon
I know it's late but all that I can do
Is close my eyes and dream that I'm alone with you
I'd like to talk to you so much but I don't know your name
I bet there's not a man in here that doesn't feel the same
As you're walking out the door there's nothing I can do
I close my eyes and dream that I'm alone with you
Yeah it's once in my life
Wish that I wasn't alone with myself
I feel like a child
Seems that I can't think of anyone else
The night is over an' I guess you're gone
I try and tell myself forget it and just carry on
But as I walk these lonely streets with nothing else to do
I close my eyes and dream that I'm alone with you
I close my eyes and dream that I'm alone with you
Open hearts
Open eyes
Open scars that are left upon
Open minds
Sacred words
Sacrificed
Storytellers exaggerate
Shallow lies
(Chorus)
After the hurt has gone away
Oh' will we feel the pain
After the storm begins to turn
Oh' will we ever learn
Open doors
Open books
Tragic stories repeated still
Overlooked
Chase the wind
Catch a breath
Watch a child when it falls
Helplessness
(Chorus)
It's never too late to say a prayer
It might be all we got to share
There's always a hope that someone's there
Don't confirm unless it's sure
Don't pretend to know a cure
Don't convince the world you're right
Don't deny you've never lied
She wakes me up in the middle of the night
When I'm rolling over - rolling over
She keeps on asking is there something on my mind - I know
She's getting close just a little too closer - and yet
Secrets are hard form me to hide
'Cos I never know what she might find
Telling her lies
Taken by surprise - taken by surprise yeah
She calls me up every minute of the day
It's like she's checking me over - always over my should and then
We talk and talk until there's nothing left to say
But she won't leave me alone every night
She never says what's on her mind
And the way it looks - well I know she ain't blind
Telling her lies
Taken by surprise - taken by surprise yeah
You know this game is the same
All the world over
But no one laughs when they're taking the blame
Over your should - taken by surprise
Can't close my eyes in case I talk in my sleep
Ooh I gotta lotta secrets that I know I wanna keep yeah
And she might even know what's going on
And it's all just an act when she says nothing's wrong
Like a disguise
I wonder how I'd feel
If we made love together
I wonder how I'd feel
Everytime we trembled
In each others arms
I wonder how I'd feel
If we could spend this night together
I wonder how I'd feel
With your body held against me
All through the night
(Chorus)
Oh-oh-oh
Shelter me
Oh-oh-oh
I need you to shelter me
I wonder how I'd feel
If our emotions came together
I wonder how I'd feel
If the future was forever
And not just tonight
(Chorus)
This time it's not so easy to take
A broken heart can't be replaced
Don't wanna play a waiting game
From the moment we part
I'll be counting the days
I wonder how I'd feel
If we made love together
I wonder how I'd feel
Everytime we trembled
Never been afraid to learn - at the speed I've been living
Never tried to run away - when my luck's been sinking
Looking back doesn't seem that long
I was too blind to see waht was going on
(Chorus)
Tried to reach out and touch you but you were gone - Oh I
Sometimes I wonder If I was wrong - so wrong
Never been afraid to say - anything I been thinking
Never tried to run away - even from the beginning
Looking back doesn't seem that long
The way I feel now don't care if I carry on
(Chorus)
Tried to reach out - tried to touch you
Tried to reach out - tried to touch you
Think I might get lucky tonight
Let my hair down get a little crazy, yeah
My reflection's doing alright
It don't take nothing to introduce suggestion
Everbody's got one thing on their mind
A set of wheels and a cranked up radio
In this town there might be nowhere to hide
In this town there might be nowhere to go but
(chorus)
On my left - to my right
This is my paradise
You can call it what you like - I know
This is my paradise
I might get lucky again
I got a deal I know won't break me yeah
If I can afford what money can't buy
There's nothing better than a small town lady
I'm no different to the boy next door
A good time's the same for everyone
I don't need another chance to be sure
Since the day I was born I've always felt secure 'cos
(chorus)
Reputation's got a price of its own
But not too many people want to pay for it
Everybody needs a place to come from
Everybody needs a place where they belong
Everybody - this is my paradise
Hey you - what's your problem - I been mystified
You might come from a different city - your body talks just like mine
Some things get misunderstood - and we can't stop the fight
But there's one thing that we don't disagree on putting right
(Chorus)
Makin' up - makin' up by makin' love
Makin' up - makin' up by makin' love
Hey I don't need to be teased - I'm no suicide
You might think I'm on the edge - just about to dive
Don't look back or turn around - when you say you've gone for sure
'Cos every night when talk gets cheap - you still come back for more
(Chorus)
Hey little dream maker - you can stick the cream
I've abused so many times - I don't believe in me
It's the best if I suggest - and you just try to please
There's one thing we both agree - can end hostility
J. Spinks
Josie's on a vacation far away,
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I ain't got many friends left to talk to
Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it under cover
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Try to stop my hands from shaking
but something in my mind's not making sense
It's been a while since we were all alone
but I can't hide the way I'm feeling
As you're leaving please would you close the door
and don't forget what I told ya
Just cos you're right that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Use your love
Lose your love
Your love

SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND'S GIRLFRIEND (YEAH)
I WOKE UP IN SOMEONE'S BED
I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT
I HEARD A VOICE THEN SOMEONE SAID
ROLL OVER BABY DON'T BE WASTING MY TIME
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
I PRAYED FOR SOMEONE I'D RECOGNIZE
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I WAS IN FOR ONE GREAT BIG SURPRISE
SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND'S GIRLFRIEND YEAH
SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND'S GIRL
I TURNED AROUND UNSURE
SHE LOOKED SO GOOD YOU COULD HAVE PICKED ME OFF THE FLOOR

SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND'S GIRLFRIEND YEAH
SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND'S GIRL
SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND'S GIRLFRIEND YEAH
SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND'S GIRL
Without a word I'd know what to say
If you stared at me my eyes would refuse to stray
61 seconds is all it takes
For the 9 to 5 man to be more than one minute late
There's a clock on the wall
a mirror reflecting it all
Just an imageless photograph
To wake up not knowing where I am today
I don't drive the same car
I don't live the same way
61 seconds is all it takes
For the 9 to 5 man to be more than one minute late
There's a clock on the wall
a mirror reflecting it all
Just an imageless photograph
whoa oh oh oh
There's a space in a frame
can you imagine a man with no name
I can, I can, I can
Yeah!
61 seconds is all it takes
For the 9 to 5 man to be more than one minute late
There's a clock on the wall
a mirror reflecting it all
Just an imageless photograph
whoa oh oh oh
There's a space in a frame
can you imagine a man with no name
I can, I can, I can
I'm alone and I'm lost in this playground
The lights are down on me
All alone and afraid in this playground
The city never sleeps
If you listen you won't understand
So confused I don't know where I am
I can't hold on - I can't hold onto love
I've tried time and time again
Every street is a dream in this darkness
The lights stay down on me
It's so hot I can't breathe in this darkness
Inside I'm never free
Just need someone to take me away
Take me with you is all I can say
I can't hol on - I can't hold onto love
I've tried time and time again
If you listen you won't understand
So confused I don't know where I am
I can't hold on - I can't hold onto love
I've tried time and time again
I can't hold on - I can't hold onto love
I've tried time and time again
I've tried time and time again
Oh I've tried time and time again
I bet you'd like this seat tonight
It's not a show you'll see on Sundays
If you should blink just once or twice
You might need this piece of advice
You'll never get another chance
Don't take your eyes away for nothing
The main attractions's gonna start
This ain't no place to be weak hearted
The main attraction's on tonight
So don't forget to turn the lights down
I thought I'd seen it all before
Something tells me don't be so sure
Anticipation on my mind
I can't imagine what she'll do this time
It seems more special thaneffect
And this show isn't even over yet
The main attraction's still to come
She's just a teaser whe she's starting
The main attraction's on tonight
So don't forget turn out the light
I'd like to see if you're for real
So can't we make some kind of deal yeah
You say there's no such word as can't
Making you the girl that I'd want
Let's get this intro out of the way
It can wait until another day
The main attraction's coming up
And you ain't leaving 'till it's over
The main attraction's on tonight
So don't forget to turn the lights out
The main attraction's on tonight
FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
WELL I WISHED THAT I
COULD JUST SAY WHAT?S ON MY MIND
BUT I'M AFRAID
IN CASE THE WORDS DON'T COME OUT RIGHT
AND IF I SHOULD TRY
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND ME?
OH OH OH MAYBE IT?S A CRIME WHAT I?M THINKING
DON?T YOU WANNA KNOW WHY
BABY IT?S A CRIME WHAT I?M THINKING
WELL I?VE TRIED SO HARD
AND I WISHED THAT I COULD JUST GET THE MOMENT RIGHT
BUT EVERYTIME THERE?S ALWAYS SOMEONE IN THIS ROOM
AND SO TONIGHT
IF I GET THE CHANCE I?LL SHARE MY SECRET
OH OH OH MAYBE IT?S A CRIME WHAT I'M THINKING
DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW WHY
BABY IT'S A CRIME WHAT I'M THINKING
OH I?M JUST LIKE
ANY OTHER MAN I JUST WANT THE BEST OUT OF LIFE
BUT IN THE END I KNOW I'LL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET
IF I SHOULD TRY
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD STAND BESIDE ME?
OH OH OH MAYBE IT?S A CRIME WHAT I?M THINKING
DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW WHY
BABY IT'S A CRIME WHAT I?M THINKING
OH, WON'T YOU STAND BY MY SIDE
JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
OH FOR JUST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
STAND BY ME STAND ME
JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER JUST A LITTLE LONGER
JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER JUST A LITTLE BIT
THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH FUN I CAN TAKE
BEFORE I'M READY TO BREAK
YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL - YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL
AND YOU CAN TAKE MY LOVIN' OUTSIDE
DON'T YOU TAKE MY LOVE FOR A RIDE
YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL - OH IT REALLY HAPPENS GIRL
YOU KNOW THAT I'M NOT READY TO WAIT
I DON'T WANNA BE LATE
OH CHIC LORRAINE HERE SHE COMES AGAIN
I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT LOVE DON'T COME NO BETTER
OOH THAN CHIC LORRAINE
THERE?S ONLY SO MANY RIVERS I'D CROSS
MY LOVE'S ALREADY LOST - YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL
OH YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL
I?M GONNA TOUCH YOU DEEPER INSIDE
AND THAT'S SO HARD TO DESCRIBE
YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL - OH YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL
DON'T KEEP ME STANDING OUT IN THE RAIN
SHE CAN TURN ME ON JUST THE SAME
OH CHIC LORRAINE HERE SHE COMES AGAIN
I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT LOVE DON'T COME NO BETTER
OH CHIC LORRAINE HERE SHE COMES AGAIN
I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT LOVE DON'T COME NO BETTER
SOMETIMES SHE?S GOT A HEART OF STONE
AND I DON'T WANNA LEAVE HER ALONE
THERE?S ONLY SO MUCH FUN I CAN TAKE
BEFORE I'M READY TO BREAK
YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL
YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN GIRL
AND YOU CAN TAKE MY LOVIN' OUTSIDE
DON'T YOU TAKE MY LOVE FOR A RIDE
YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN
OH IT REALLY HAPPENS GIRL
YOU KNOW THAT I'M NOT READY TO WAIT
I DON'T WANNA BE LATE
I don't wanna have to shout while the day is long
Repeating all the things that I've said and done
Only words you know so well
And if I could explain what you want from me
Satisfy your insecurity
Something that you've failed to see
Oh my love for you - well it's still as new
And it's burning blue
I should a known better
Why can't I forget her
She's an operator
I don't wanna have to shout from a mountain top
So try to realize all the things we got
How come you don't understand
There'll never be a future we can trust
Tomorrow's all we need in front of us
One day at a time's enough
And my love for you - well it's still as new
And it's burning blue
I should a known better
Why can't I forget her
She's an operator
An' my love for you - it still feels as new
An' it's burning blue
All across the nation
Open invitation
No exaggeration
I should a known better
Why can't I forget her
She's an operator
You keep telling me everything's gonna be cool tonight
But I keep thinking that you might be going outta
your mind
It's a perfect little invitation
But I gotta lot of reservations
So leave a message on the line for me
Girl you know I'm gonna need a sign
And if you wanna take a ride with me
Better call me up - leave a message on the line
You keep telling me he don't got a clue
about anything
But I keep thinking that he knows it's going on
all right
I guess I've got a lot of hesitation
I'm gonna give it some investigation
(Chorus)
I keep thinkin' that I'm gonna need a rocket
just to calm me down
But you keep telling me everything's gonna be fine
I don't wann be your service station
You could always get a good vibration
Hit the message I can hear you calling
No one's going anywhere tonight
We conceived a modern generation
It was free but now we pay the price
We're the victims of our own creation
Chasing rainbows that are painted black or white
Watch the struggle of our temptation
Instincts barely keeping us alive
(Chorus)
Back to the rhythm that we all came from
Voices of Babylon streets of London
Back to the people that we know so well
A space in time removed too soon to tell
Just a product of imagination
Patiently we wait for out turn to come
A small collection of the population
By the time our numbers up we could be gone
(Chorus)
Back to the rhythm that we all came from
Highnoon driver's got a kick tail beater
And he rides just as fast as he knows
Long shot dealer sold a real fire eater
Burning money just as fast as she goes
Kid don't care 'cos he can't get enough
Easy come - easy go
Tells his mama that he ain't living under a stone
An' he's ready oh - oh
Late night pleaser spends her daytime teaching
In the small town missionary hall
Back seat teaser never takes any money
But her friends make it nailed to the wall
She don't care 'cos she can't get enough
One way ticket to the ball
Tells here mama that she ain't living under a stone
One night in the middle of Main Street
Riding in a big flash car
Sets his eyes on the good time seeker
She jumps inside but they go too far
Years go by and they've both grown older
Kinda' sorry for the things that they did
Lookin' back they could have both been something
But their caution ran away with the wind
Life ain't never been an easy touch
They got a house that they can't afford
Staying up all night - this could be a party
I've got some friends outside - looking for a good time
You better head my way - this is where it's starting
No rules - no laws - tonight you're gonna stay
(Chorus)
Hey girl hold me tight - the night ain't over
Hey girl hit that light- the night ain't over
I'm staying up all night - this could a showdown
I've got this thing inside - telling me don't run and hide
And there's so many roads - only you can go down
Don't close - your eyes - there just might be another way
(Chorus)
Ooh I might be losing my soul
But life's only fun when it's dangerous
And I don't wanna be told
I won't play safe and start growing old
It's five in the morning
And I can feel the beads of sweat
Running down the back of my neck
It's so good to be with you again
Oo-oo-oo
Someday - wait and see
This will be just a memory
And I'll look back with no regrets
Good times like this I can't forget
You're taking this hard - and I still don't know
If we've got a price - I'll let you go
I don't wanna be just a part of your life
I can't complain if I'm not sure
I'll only remain if you're still pure
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
You know I won't share you with another man
So don't expect me to try and understand
I don't wanna be just a part of your life
(Chorus)
There's another choice
There's another dream
There's another place
Another reason for living
There's another face
There's another mind
There's another soul
Another heart I could find
I don't wanna be just a part of your life
I don't wanna know what might be wrong
Start looking for something that might be gone
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
Making up for lost time won't ease the pain
Or start looking for something - just to ease the strain
I don't wanna be just a part of your life
(Chorus)
I don't want a friend just to turn to
I don't need a hand that can only pull me through
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
I'm not afraid in the dark to say what I feel
And I'm just too scared to tell ya what I know is real
But I can't wait any longer for the lights to go down
Wait any longer for the lights to go down
Wait any longer for the lights to go down, can't you see?
Baby when you talk to me, baby when you talk to me
Talk to me, baby when you talk to me
I wanna hold you so close each beat of the day
I call you up on the phone, nothing to say
But I can't wait any longer for the lights to go down
Wait any longer for the lights to go down
Wait any longer for the lights to go down, can't you see?
Baby when you talk to me, baby when you talk to me
Talk to me, baby when you talk to me
Since we first met you were the only one
Sometimes I forget - I'm still the lonely one, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm in a trap - sealed by your lips - scared to go anywhere,
Thinking about - those things I miss - whenever U're not there
But I can't wait any longer for the lights to go down
Wait any longer for the lights to go down
Wait any longer for the lights...to...go...down...
Can't you see? Baby when you talk to me, baby when you talk to me
Talk to me, baby when you talk to me
Talk to me, baby when you talk to me
Talk to me, yeah, baby when you talk to me
Talk to me, yeah, baby when you talk to me
Mmmmmm...I'm calling out but there's no one to hear me
I'm so afraid cos there's nobody near me
All that I've got are the memories of Tuesday
I can't remember anything she said
Then in a moment my head starts spinning
Around in a circle no end or beginning
And just when I think that the whole world's turning
I open my eyes and discover that life is just
Burning down but this man stands his ground
For when there's nothing left I'll fight for every breath
Don't turn your back on me baby - I'm taking all my chances
Why can't you hear what I'm saying - I'm taking all my chances
And when you're alone with nobody to turn to
You look in the mirror and think that it's untrue
In your reflection are you sure that you see
The person that you've always wanted to be but
You never were because you feared yourself
And in your deepest thoughts, you looked for someone else
Don't turn your back on me baby - I'm taking all my chances
Why can't you hear what I'm saying - I'm taking all my chances
I'm calling out but there's no one to hear me
I'm so afraid cos there's nobody near me
All that I've got are the memories of Tuesday
I can't remember anything she said
Don't turn your back on me baby - I'm taking all my chances
Why can't you hear what I'm saying - I'm taking all my chances
Don't turn your back on me baby - I'm taking all my chances
Why can't you hear what I'm saying - I'm taking all my chances
Don't turn your back on me baby - I'm taking all my chances......
Since you've been gone
There's something I wanna say
Since you've been gone
There's no one taking your place
Since you've been gone
I've just been foolin' around
Since you've been gone
This world's been turned upside down
Didn't think I'd find a girl that I could not forget
Anything we started not so long ago - ain't over yet
Since you've been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it won't be long
An' I know you're coming back
You turned me on
Since the first time I set eyes on you
You turned me on
Ooh the things you want me to do
Don't get me wrong
'Cos you're not the only girl I've ever had
But since you've been gone
Girl you know the thought of you's driving me mad
All I do is think of you I lie awake - lie awake
And no matter how I try this loneliness - you know I can't take
Since you've been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it won't be long
An' I know you're coming back
Since you've been gone
There's something I wanna say
Since you've been gone
There's no one to stand in my way
Since you've been gone
So scared of losing this time
Since you've been gone
Girl you know that I can't get you out of my mind
Since you've been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know that I was wrong
An' I know you're coming back
Since you've been gone
Tried my best to read between the lines
If some things are hard to say
You better tell me one more time
Since you've been gone
Yeah
You got me all screwed up
so much I can't turn around
And I've been running
about with some funny girls
I'm not so tough
but if you let me down (I'll tell ya)
I'd give you just one day to explain
I'd like to know if there's
somebody else in this game
(Say it isn't so)
Tell me I'm the only one
(Say it isn't so)
Without you I can't go on
(How was I to know)
If you keep me guessing
I don't understand
I can't sleep at night
I keep on dreaming you're gone
I'm staring into a space
that was filled by
You're facing the day
a face in the crowd
I'm sure I saw you
just a moment ago
There must be something
you don't want me to know
(Say it isn't so)
If you got the magic touch
(Say it isn't so)
One that I need so much
(How was I to know)
If you keep me guessing
I don't understand
There's something wrong
suspicion's getting stronger
Don't know if I can stand
this pain much longer
You play around but
I see right through you
It's lonely on the streets
when it's just one a.m.
See a lot of pretty
girls passing by
I'm walking in the midnight
sun once again
And now I know why
love is so blind
'Cause when you're
out of my sight
I'm out of your mind
(Say it isn't so)
Tell me I'm the only one
(Say it isn't so)
Without you I can't go on
(How was I to know)
If you keep me guessing
I don't understand
(Say it isn't so)
If you got the magic touch
(Say it isn't so)
One that I need so much
(How was I to know)
If you keep me guessing
I don't understand
(Say it isn't so)
(Say it isn't so)
(Say it isn't so) Oh oh
(Say it isn't so)
(Say it isn't so) Oh oh
(Say it isn't so)
The raintown boys are leaving today
Heading on out to the shoreline
The greytown boys are tired of this place
They're not coming back anymore
They're gonna find a new life in the city
Don't wanna live in black and white
'Cos nothing's gonna change the talkin's over
Too many wasted years gone by
The raintown boys ain't coming back to town no more
They've had enough of living in the past for sure
The sadtown girls are crying inside
Thoughts are out there in the darkness
They'd given their hearts to the boys in the past
Now it's so lonely without them
It's late at night but downtown in the city
They walk the streets - the lights turn red
A broken voice in their imagination
They can't believe the things she said
I can give you more than anyone can
Perfect strangers living in a new land
The raintown boys are so far away
Been living it up on the shore
No doubt in their minds they're gonna stay
There's nothing left to go home for
They've found a better life inside this city
Their fears are gone - their fortunes changed
Just like they were made for one another
The boy's won't ever be the same
The raintown boys ain't coming back to town no more
They've had enough of living in the past for sure
No more - no more - no more
This ain't working out
It's not worth the time I spent on it
When I've been next to you
It's not the way you want it
And all I wanna do
Is get away and as far away from it
There's no point 'cos I'm not winning
There's no point going back to the beginning
There's no point to keep on waiting
There's no point in talking it over
There's no point in getting any closer
If it was up to you
We'd go around in circles forever
There's nothing left to do
I go around - around in you
I've tried to see it through
All I've seen is the stormy weather
There's no point in still pretending
There's no point 'cos this is never ending
There's no point in keep on trying
There's no point to carry on lying
There's no point acting like children
There's no point 'cos this time I'm gone
There's no point in talking it over
There's no point in getting any close
There's no point in still pretending
There's no point 'cos this is never ending
There's no point in keep on trying
There's no point to carry on lying
There's no point in talking it over
There's no point in getting any closer
There's no point 'cos I'm not winning
There's no point going back to the beginning
There's no point in hesitating
There's no point tonight
MY BABY'S COMING HOME IN A MINUTE
ARRIVING ON THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN
I DON'T THINK WE'LL GET A SECOND OF SLEEP
ONCE SHE'S IN THESE ARMS AGAIN
I'VE BEEN WAITING SUCH A LONG TIME
GET ON BACK WHERE YOU BELONG
STEP INSIDE AND TAKE A COOL DRINK HONEY
TONIGHT NOTHING'S GOING WRONG
I'M PLAYING ALL MY LATE NIGHT RECORDS
YOU'RE DANCING IN YOUR HIGH HEELED SHOES
I'M DEEP INSIDE THE RIGHT TRACK HONEY
JUST MAKING ALL THE MIDNIGHT MOVES (WOH WOH)
MY BABY?S GONNA DO THE LOCOMOTION
TONIGHT SHE'S GONNA RIDE ME LIKE A TRAIN
SHE WON'T LEAVE ME STANDING AT THE STATION
'COS THE TUNNEL OF LOVE'S ON FIRE AGAIN
THERE'S NO NEED TO GET A TICKET
MY DESTINATION'S BEEN APPROVED
ALL DRESSED UP IN SOMETHING SKIN TIGHT HONEY
THIS ONE MADE FOR ME AND YOU
I'M PLAYING ALL MY LATE NIGHT RECORDS
YOU?RE DANCING IN YOUR HIGH HEELED SHOES
I'M DEEP INSIDE THE RIGHT TRACK HONEY
JUST MAKING ALL THE MIDNIGHT MOVES
MAKE NO MISTAKE THERE AIN'T NO WAY I'M TURNING YOU DOWN
I DON'T THINK YOU'D EVER LAUGH AT THE TEARS OF THIS CLOWN
MISS COMMUNICATION
TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
SOMEWHERE IN YOUR SOUL TONIGHT
THERE'S A PLACE FOR ME
I'M IN NEED OF SOMEONE
YOU COULD SHARE MY DREAM
MAYBE I'M NOT GOOD FOR YOU
YOU'D BE GOOD FOR ME
I drive these streets alone in silence
Another ride trying to clear my head
But all I hear is just the beat of my heart
I think of her but I see you instead
(Chorus)
And there's a thousand little lies
A thousand little reasons
For me to stay - for me to go
And there's a thousand little voices
Inside my head saying
Take the long way home
I tell myself that it's all over
But then I see you and I just don't know
What should I listen to my heart or my mind
Too tired to think about the way I should go
(Chorus)
There's no one out there when you need to decide
And you're on your own
You keep on thinking 'bout the wrong that you've done
You try to hide but there's no place to run
THE RHYTHM OF THE RAIN
BREAKS THE SILENCE
BEATS AGAINST MY WINDOW
AS THE MOMENT SLIPS AWAY
AND I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN
IN YOUR ABSENCE THERE IS NOTHING
I TRY IN VAIN - BUT I CAN'T KISS THE RAIN
AND A MIRACLE CAN STAY
IN MY MIND FOREVER MORE
IT CAN TAKE MY BLUES AWAY
BUT IT CAN'T STOP THE RAIN
AND IT WON'T STOP ME CRYING
AS THE RHYTHM STARTS AGAIN
INSIDE MY HEAD
THE RHYTHM OF YOUR NAME
UNDECIDED UNINVITED
SPEAKS TO ME JUST LIKE YOU?RE HERE AGAIN
AND I JUST CAN'T REMAIN
UNDECIDED UNPROVIDED
SO IN VAIN I TRIED TO KISS THE RAIN
AND AN ORCHESTRA CAN PLAY
ANY SONG I'VE EVER HEARD
BUT THEY?LL NEVER KNOW MY NAME
AND THEY CAN'T STOP THE RAIN
AND THEY WON'T STOP ME CRYING
OH THE RHYTHM OF THE RAIN
BREAKING IN TWO
UNSTAINED HEART UNTAMED DREAMS
UNCHAINED LOVE FOREVER
THE RHYTHM OF THE RAIN
BREAKING THE SILENCE BEATING AGAINST MY WINDOW
AS THE MOMENT SLIPS AWAY
I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN
IN YOUR ABSENCE THERE IS NOTHING
A soul full of anger - but nothing to show
A world wrapped in cotton - but nowhere to go
Obsessed by a woman that you didn't know
Don't turn around - don't turn around
Torn between lovers - both mothers as well
A mind a prison - a heart in a cell
If only the screams could be heard from this hell
Don't turn around - don't turn around
You were surprised by a girl in the sky
who changed everyone
And as your life became so mystified
There was a lonely heart - left by the side
Tomorrow could never be just one more day
Confused by an image - refusing to stay
The child in your mind always wanted its way
Don't turn around - don't turn around
Then on a day in your life
still remembered by everyone
There was a man with a gun at his side
You and your monkey had nowhere to hide
He was the man that was sent from the rye
Don't turn around - don't turn around
So many things on his mind
I'm not sure if he knew
Why he blew you away
I can't decide if it's true
What he thought on that day
Don't be afraid when the day turns to night
Don't be ashamed when I turn out the lights
Call out my name and I'd hold you so tight
I’m broken inside
It’s too late you’re gone
I’m tired of pretending
That the past is undone
I’m not acting like some kind of fool
But I didn’t see
Oh, you were out there looking for love
It should have been me
It could have been me
There by your side
It should have been me
Holding you tight
If you’re looking for somebody’s arms
Let them be
Oh, if you’re out there looking for love
It should have been me
Right now my life is filled with emptiness
I gave you all the love that I possess
So unchain my heart
Please set me free
Unchain the soul
You took away from me
All I’m asking is just one more chance
Can’t you see?
If you’re out there looking for love
It should have been me
What can I do?
What can I say?
Don’t say goodbye
Don’t walk away
I didn’t think I was making mistake
Too blind to see
Now you’re out there looking for love
It should have been me
Oh, if you’re out there in somebody’s arms
Please let it be
Oh, if you’re out there looking for love
I?M GONNA TELL YOU THAT I WANT YOU
I?M GONNA HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
AIN?T NO BODY GONNA TAKE THIS GIRL OF MINE
I?M GONNA SQUEEZE YOU LITTLE DARLING
I?M GONNA TELL YOU EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT
AIN?T NOBODY GONNA TAKE THIS GIRL OF MINE
I SAW YOU YESTERDAY
STANDING OUTSIDE MY ROOM
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
BABY I FELT SUCH A FOOL
HOPING THAT ONE DAY
YOU MIGHT THINK IT?S COOL
LOOK AT ME ANOTHER WAY
PLEASE DON'T SEE THE FOOL
I'M GONNA TELL YOU THAT I WANT YOU
I'M GONNA HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
AIN'T NO BODY GONNA TAKE THIS GIRL OF MINE
I'M GONNA SQUEEZE YOU LITTLE DARLING
I'M GONNA TELL YOU EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT
AIN'T NOBODY GONNA TAKE THIS GIRL OF MINE
I'M THINKING THAT SOMEDAY
I'VE GOTTA NEXT TO YOU
IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY
I'M WONDERING WHAT TO DO
ALL I KNOW IS THAT ONE DAY
THIS MIGHT BE COMPLETE
THINGS ARE GOING MY WAY
DOWN ON SADNESS STREET
THIS MIGHT HEAVEN TONIGHT BUT I'M TOO LOST TO KNOW
IF I'M NOT IN HEAVEN TONIGHT THEN I?M SURE IT?S THE RIGHT PLACE TO GO
IF YOU DIDN'T NEED ME
WHAT WOULD I SAY TO YOU
PLEASE BELIEVE ME
GIRL MY HEART BEATS TOO
ALL I'M HOPING IS ONE DAY
MY DREAMS WILL ALL COME TRUE
BUT I WISH IT WAS YESTERDAY
GIRL IT COULDN'T BE TOO SOON
I'm so sad - feeling blue
Since you left - I've been missing you
Need your love - oh so bad
Realize - everything we had
(chorus)
All day - all night
You can have it anyway you want it
One love - so right
Don't you know that I live my life for you
I was wrong - my mistake
I regret - look at the price I paid
Take these words - understand
Try forgiving - I'm a broken man
(chorus)
I'm so sad - feeling blue
Since you left - I've been missing you
Take these words - understand
Try forgiving - I'm a broken man
(Chorus)
For you - for you
You can have it anyway you want it
For you - for you
(Chorus)
I wanna get close
Wanna spend my time with you
We gotta sit down and talk
Got to see things eye to eye
I tried to tell her but I couldn't begin
It's not a thing that takes a moment
I'm coming over better let me come in
(chorus)
You'll understand me
A lot better when the picture's all clear
I'm yours and anyway you want me
Move over 'cos it's lonely over here
(Chorus)
You've got no choice
You've got no say when it comes round
I'm gonna jump down don't walk away
We've got to see things eye to eye
There was something when I met you
There was something in the words we didn't say
It was something that we both knew
It was something that don't happen every day
(chorus)
You've got no choice
You've got no say when it comes round
I'm gonna jump down don't walk away
GROWING UP AIN'T EASY
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU?RE YOUNG
AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW IS OLDER THAN THEIR YEARS
AND GROWING UP AIN'T EASY
WHEN THE ONLY GIRL YOU WANT
LOOKS AT YOU LIKE YOU JUST DISAPPEARED
BUT YOU KEEP HOLDING ON
TO EVERY LITTLE THING THAT SHE'S DONE
AND IF YOU?RE CHANCE CAME ALONG
YOU'D MAKE IT CLEAR
HOLD ME CLOSE CLOSE YOUR EYES
DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
GROWING UP AIN'T EASY
WHEN TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE
AND YOU?RE WISHING THAT THESE TIMES WOULD PASS YOU BY
EVERYTIME A DOOR IS OPENED
THERE?S NOTHING ON THE OTHER SIDE
JUST ANOTHER DOOR FOR YOU TO TRY AND FIND
BUT YOU KEEP HOLDING ON
AND HOPING THAT YOU'RE TIMES GONNA COME
AND SHE CAN DO NOTHING WRONG
YOU MAKE IT CLEAR
HOLD ME CLOSE CLOSE YOUR EYES
DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
BUT YOU KEEP HOLDING ON
TO EVERY LITTLE THING THAT SHE'S DONE
AND IF YOU'RE CHANCE CAME ALONG
YOU'D MAKE IT CLEAR
HOLD ME CLOSE CLOSE YOUR EYES
DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
HOLD ME CLOSE CLOSE YOUR EYES
DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
I don't tell the truth
I bet that's not a real surprise
I said I'd be forgetting about you
But now I know I'm wasting my time
You won't set me free
I guess I'll never get away
I can't beat that feeling inside you
You're bangin' on my heart again
B-B-B-Bangin'
Bangin' on my heart
B-B-B-Bangin'
Just another girl
Is all I thought you were and then
You went and proved me wrong
Now I'm in trouble
You're bangin' on my heart again
Numbers all I took
Figures still inside my head
And now I'm not sure that it's all over
I thought you were gone
You're back in my heart again
Heart again
Back in my heart again
Heart again
You've known all along
I jump whenever
You're banin' on my heart again
Ooh I've been into you
More times than you've been into me
But this scar's gonna last forever
I know this feeling's something you'll never see
I know this feeling's something you'll never see
Bangin' on my heart again
Bangin' on my heart again
B-B-B-Bangin'
Bangin' on my heart
B-B-B-Bangin'
I can't believe the
things that happen to me
I guess that I should
have seen a long long time ago
Letters you write don't
help me get through the night
So I'll just turn out the light
and sleep here all alone
(chorus)
(All the love)
All the love in the world
(All the love)
I'll be sending you girl
(All the love)
All the love in the world
Time after time I put
my life on the line
But I ain't committed no crime
so take what you can find
Forget what I say
'cause I'll keep running away
I only live for today
but I'm one day behind
(chorus)
These are the words that I
whisper on every first night
but that day you left me
those words were on
that same flight
I can't believe the
things that happen to me
I guess that I should
have seen a long long time ago
Letters you write don't
help me get through the night
So I'll just turn out the light
and sleep here all alone
Nobody said this was easy
living is long than again
I used to think it was simple enough
just goes to show how I've changed
Nobody makes it forever
Let's make a deal with the pain
If you wanna hold on to love,
You got to endure the tears.
If you wanna enjoy the laughter,
You got to ignore the fears.
And if we're gonna make it together,
We're got to make it through the years.
Nobody knows all the answers
There ain't no rules in this game
Love was still lost I still can't take the cost
Over and over again
They've all get a little temptation
No matter how hard they prayed. So...
If you wanna hold on to love,
You got to endure the tears.
If you wanna enjoy the laughter,
You got to ignore the fears.
And if we're gonna make it together,
We're got to make it through the years.
I hear my conscience calling
that I don't need to know
I see the future out there
But which way should I go?
If you wanna hold on to love,
You got to endure the tears.
If you wanna enjoy the laughter,
You got to ignore the fears.
And if we're gonna make it together,
Walking down the pearly way,
Kings and queens of old are glistening.
It's a carnival, it's a big parade,
It's unethical in the modern way.
Come and look around inside Aladdin's cave.
Fill your bags with gold and wash your sins away.
Down the Roman Road, mothers can't be saved.
Under seven stars, daughters look the same.
Come and look around inside Aladdin's cave.
Fill your bags with gold and wash your sins away.
Not so long ago, legends walked these streets.
From a vantage point, sheppards lost their sheep.
Come and look around inside Aladdin's cave.
Fill your bags with gold and wash your sins away.
One day the california sun will come your way
Walking along through endless rain
Wonder if times will ever change
Hearing the wind that cry's your name
Too many leaves upon the ground
Everyone else seems safe and sound
Faith is your only consolation
One day the california sun will come your way
One day the california sun will come your way
Lost in a place - nobody home
People around you, they're all alone
Failure is not you own invention (oh no)
One day the california sun will come your way
One day the california sun will come your way
Waiting in line - taking your turn
Every mistake's a lesson learned
Surviving the pain is no salvation (oh no)
One day the california sun will come your way
One day the california sun will come your way
One day the california sun will come your way
One day the california sun will come your way
California sunshine
California sunshine
One day - california sunshine
There's a little girl, sitting on the end of her bed
She's frightened of the things that were said - stares
at the sky
There's a little boy, too afraid of closin' his eyes
Didn't think he'd be so surprised - he can't disguise
He knows it's there, soarin out the window
His mother say's "You sure?" - he say's "I think so"
Is there anyone out there, out there
Tiny lights come down from the sky
Tiny lights surround them tonight
Every single color in a rainbow
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
There's an old man, rocking to and fro in a chair
He says he always knew they were there - he doesn't
care
Been a long time, so long he can't remember the nights
When he saw the very first lights - they thought he was
lying
His wife's afraid, tell's her not to worry
She packs her things - she's leavin in a hurry
Is there anyone out there, out there
Tiny lights come down from the sky
Tiny lights surround them tonight
Every single color in a rainbow
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Where'd you think they come from - I don't know
Is there anybody out there, is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there, is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there, is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there, is there anybody out there
I lay my cards on the table
You can see I had no chance of winning
But tonight - that means nothing?
This was mine to lose from the beginning
Does it matter that it matters at all I had you
A long, long time ago
I can hear your voice it's calling?
So turn around face to face now
Tell me what's been going on in your head
Cos' I know you've been restless
Someone else just spent the night in your bed
Does it matter that it matters at all I had you
A long, long time ago
I can hear your voice it's calling?
Such a long, long time ago
Tragedy forever haunting
I lay my head on my pillow
No one else can hurt me while I'm sleeping
For tonight I was lonely
I just needed someone to believe in
Does it matter that it matters at all I had you
A long, long time ago
I can hear your voice it's calling?
Such a long, long time ago
This is not what I remember, it's nothing like the same
You know the girls are lot far, boys are not too blame
This is not the 1930's, it's not a T.V. show
You know that I just wanna dance, I still won enough
I feel so many things that I don't understand
Walks like a woman and acts like a man
One hot country, this is just one hot country
This is just one hot country in modern times
Well if you don't like the movie just watch the news instead
And if you wanna be a star, hijack a DC 10
But if you change your occupation, you might be fallin' from the sky
A silent girl's imagination, silhouettes the world goodnight
I feel so many things that I don't understand
Walks like a woman and acts like a man
One hot country, this is just one hot country
This is just one hot country in modern times
One hot country, this is just one hot country
This is just one hot country in modern times
One hot country, one hot country
One hot country, one hot country
Come on, this is just one hot country
This is just one hot country
This is just one hot country, this is just one hot country
Whoa, ooh, whoa, ooh
Whoa, ooh, whoa, ooh
Where is your heart tonight
I would be lost without you
Walking these streets again
Searching to find a grain of sand
How can I learn if we pretend
Someday I'll find my rainbow's end
Who rides this chariot of pleasure
Over the ruins of Rome
Who waves the flag tonight
Who lights the fires of [?]
How can I learn if we pretend
Someday I'll find my rainbow's end
Who'll calm this anger inside
Who'll give me comfort after a storm
How can I learn if we pretend
Turn it up just a little bit.
Shake your thing like your momma did.
Start it up take another trip.
Say goodbye to the mother ship.
It's been such a long time.
You knew we were waiting in the wings.
It feels like the right moment.
As the circus comes to town there ain't no one else
around.
Move on down just a little bit.
On the edge get a better grip.
Keep it right on a precipice.
Shake your thing like your momma did.
It's been such a long time.
You knew we were waiting in the wings.
It feels like the right moment.
As the circus comes to town there ain't no one else
around.
We're at the crossroads...
It's been a cold lonely winter.
If we don't jump the train you know we turn our backs
forever.
Here we go!
[Instrumental]
Turn it up just a little bit.
Play it loud like your papa did.
Start it up take another trip.
Don't look back from the mother ship.
It's been such a long time.
You knew we were waiting in the wings.
It feels like the right moment.
As the circus comes to town...
As the circus comes to town there ain't no one else
around.
As the circus comes to town...
Shake your thing! [x2] Turn it up! [x2]
Shake your thing like your momma did.
Turn it up! [x2] Start it up! [x2]
As the circus comes to town...
Everytime I look at you I see Heaven's little angel
I can see the light that shines around you every day
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Everytime I think of you I see Heaven's little angel
When I close my eyes and I can't sleep, I call your name
And I'll never stop loving you my little angel
You make the sun shine on a cold and cloudy day
Every little thing you do is like a little angel
You were always there for me to wipe my tears away
And I'll never stop loving you my little angel
You make the sun shine on a cold and cloudy day
Yeah!
Ooh, my angel
And I'll never stop loving you my little angel
You make the sun shine on a cold and cloudy day
And if my dreams should all come true - my little angel
You'll be there for me until my dying day
You'll be there for me until my dying day
You'll be there for me until my dying day - c'mon
Ooh, my angel
My little angel
Ooh, my angel
One look, one touch, no chance
I know what you're thinking
Your move, you're mixed up, no choice
Say you get the meaning
And I'm not leaving here without you, baby
I like everything I've seen
Tonight we're just a little bit close
Tonight it's just the way it's gonna be, yeah
Tonight I'm just a little bit closer
Tonight you're just a little bit closer to me
One day, one line untied
And we can talk it over
She's hooked, she's mine
I say stay a little longer
And I'm still waitin' on you, baby
And I've got anything you need
Tonight we're just a little bit close
Tonight it's just the way it's gonna be, yeah
Tonight I'm just a little bit closer
Tonight you're just a little bit closer to me
Don't say, ya' too shy, hand jive
Anyway you want it
I'm here, all right, up tight
Ain't no doubt about it
And I'm not leaving here without you, baby
I like everything I've seen
Tonight we're just a little bit close
Tonight it's just the way it's gonna be, yeah
Tonight I'm just a little bit closer
Tonight you're just a little bit closer to me
Tonight we're just a little bit close
Tonight it's just the way it's gonna be, yeah
Tonight I'm just a little bit closer
Every mornin' I wake up, the first thing I remember,
is all the things I said the night before.
Then I look in the mirror, stop myself pretendin'.
All I have is worth a whole lot more.
It doesn´t matter what you do,
as long as I can be with you.
I know we're gonna see this through.
it´s all about love.
Every time that I'm with you, I capture every moment,
just in case this world should fall apart.
And I don´t wanna lose you, you can hear me callin'.
I can´t change what happened in the past.
It doesn´t matter what you do,
as long as I can be with you.
I know we're gonna see this through.
it´s all about love.
Look around, look around,
at all these familiar faces.
Don't ya' know, don't ya' know, don't ya' know,
that it still means the whole world to me?
[Instrumental]
So don't forget all the good times, the nights that we're together.
Keep those memories locked inside your heart.
It doesn´t matter what you do,
as long as I can be with you.
I know we're gonna see this through.
it´s all about love.
It doesn't matter what you say,
I'm never gonna walk away.
I'll love ya' 'til my dyin' day.
It's all about love.
