Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Mothers understand it, baby needs some more
Woh, held up to ransom, quick hand and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage legend make a mark on you?
Make the big time status, a pen will let him through
Mother Mary would you ever really feel the same?
Could you try to understand a wild colonial boy?
Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Mothers understand it, baby needs some more
Mother Mary would you ever really feel the same?
Is she waiting now
Do you think she really really cares
Is she standing and looking with her hope
Her fingers through her hair
Looking at the future you and me baby
Life lately don't seem like wonderland
Nothing here nothing coming in
Money goes like a wino's gin
Slips through my hands
* (And) I know it ain't easy
I get drunk like a fool
There's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule
** Hold on to this love
'Cos I don't want to lose you
Hold on to this love
'Cos I don't want to lose you
When the lights go down
Do you think she really really cares
As she's lying there with her arms around you
A strange affair
Looking at the lights on Lakeshore Drive
In the Windy City now
Will our love stay alive
Last night I held you in my arms
You looked and said "Baby, we will survive"
And I know it ain't easy
'Cos life gets so cruel
And there's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule
** Repeat
** Repeat
* Repeat
Where you gonna go, who you gonna run to
Who you gonna see tonight babe
What you gonna wear, who you gonna know
Who you gonna see tonight my baby
From the back of a one dollar down
Did you ever think I wouldn't be around
This ain't a stand off ain't no fight
But where you gonna be sleeping tonight?
** Repeat
** Repeat and fade out
American beauty
came up and spoke
She touched her toes
and we shared a joke
Taxi's, limos,
power boat glides
Jet skies, mensa,
babes without a ride
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Moonshot, rockets
nineteen sixties cool
Sonny Boy Williamson,
Pope John Paul
The Congo to Vietnam
The Beatles to the Stones
Is nobody left
who's gonna shake those bones?
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Pay all the time
Solo
All of the misfits
all of the scars
All of life's promises
bottled in jars
There's a hum and a howl.
lovers on the run
Tell me what's on offer
from the government scum
Solo
Rats will get richer
and the dirt beg for more
Crumbs on the table
for the world of the poor
News of self worship
fresh from Hollywood
The pygmies of poison,
don't know bad from good
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Oh that's pay all the time
someones got to pay
you ain't walkin'
you ain't talkin'
you got to pay
while i'm looking over your shoulder
you got to pay
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train
Drop my baby and gone
*Train train coming right round the bend
Train train coming right round this bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
Train train coming on down the line
Train train rolling on down the line
Well it's bringing my baby
'Cause she's mine oh mine
Mine oh mine, mine oh mine
(Repeat *)
Never again no, no, no never again
High flyers, wailing birds
I'm so far out to sea
Ships are passing every night
Oh, all my boyish dreams
* And your every melody
With the sea tides tossin' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by
(instrumental)
Turn to summer, goes so fast
Seems I'll never see you
One weekend and a photograph
Oh, all my boyish dreams
* Repeat
Kids are cruising on the old shoreline
Goodbye-girls killing time
Feel like soldiers we couldn't wait
Running wild, rushing to our fate
* We kept dreaming, Kids are dreaming
Sleeping rough out on Brighton's beach
A step from the law just out of reach
** We kept dreaming, Dreaming me and you
*** Got a plan we couldn't blow
Nobody cares, nobody knows
Made a stand and played a show
Nobody cares, nobody knows
Hiding in the wrecks of burned out cars
Found a compass on the promenade
Gangs assemble in the old arcade
By looking cool we thought we had it made
* Repeat
We ran wildly against the tide
Nothing much just our teenage pride
** Repeat ***
Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Down the alleys to the old stage door
They heard the band coming through the floor
Eric Burdon and the Animals played
In our minds the impression's made
** Repeat
*** Repeat and fade mixing ** and ***
Tell me why we're never more than strangers
Tell me why you never let it show
* But when you're close to me
And whisper, I need you
In the cold mornin' light
**Try me, oh take me for a little while
Before it's over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say it's over
But for me it had just begun
Tell me why we seem no more than strangers
Tell me why the feelin' never goes
* Repeat
** Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
If sometimes
I could make you happy
if sometimes
you're feeling small
the truth is mine just to
do what I wanna do
this love is mine just to
say what I wanna say
Out on this lonely road
cold coffee and a cigarette
making a long distance call
I'm on some losing bet
We're not going down
we're not gonna take it baby
we're not going down
anyway you want it
we're not going down
we just got to be together now
and if you're feeling hollow
Hey, hey now swallow
And if your love's been lost and forsaken
if you've been left
passed up and broken too
the choice is yours just to
be where you wanna be
and the truth is yours just to
see what you wanna see
Out on this lonely road
where the black top never ends
we're racing up the hills
but we're losing it on th bends
We're not going down
we've just gotta be together baby
we're not going down
we ain't gonna take it now
we're not going down
we've gotta be there babe
and if you're feeling hollow
Hey, hey now swallow
you've got to swallow babe
Solo
We're not going down
we've gotta be there together babe
we're not going down
anyway you want it now
We're not going down
we've gotta be there
We're not going down
we've just gotta be together babe
and just your crazy ways
oh there's not an ordinary day
oh no
Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up in my eyes
Symbols of the morning coming on
With the love that's got too strong to hold
If I'd been so much wiser then
I would have known which path to choose
Heaven help the lucky ones
Heaven help you
Heard the news come on the radio
About the loves in this escapade
I'd already heard before
Baby, two years ago
Say it's too hard just return
Now it seemed just like a dream
I saw and already seen it
On my TV's screen
Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on
Don't you think you could show some thanks
I just might give you a standin' ovation
(Instrumental)
INSTRUMENTAL
The enemy is at the door
The enemy within.
Dressed up in the strangest clothes,
Smells of drinking Bombay gin.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
My father was a Russian Jew
My Irish mother crazy.
I see summer, winter, fall.
When grown men
Cry like babies.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
[Solo]
Wish I never had to leave.
Wish I'd never known.
Wish I could stay here forever.
Watch my garden grow.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
There's a deadman talking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman talking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
There's a deadman walking
Deadman walking
* On the wires I can hear you comin'
With a rush and a strummin'
This electric phase ain't no teenage craze
In your house a phone is ringin'
Just a hot touch that keeps lingerin'
You said loving's easy only if you please
All I need is communication
Not a line on your reputation
I don't want a handshake
There ain't no big mistake
**There's no illusion in this wild confusion
Who knows I'm crazy, no chance of maybe
I'd like to know you better
But I"m goin' down so fast
Help me now to feel it, I just can't conceal it
Sweet time I've got to show you how it's really got to be
Just let me be alone, left with your dialing tone
** Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
* Repeat
* I want you to call my name
I need to hear your voice again
You know I want you to call my name
Any time, there's no shame in our love
I met you watching the cars go by
You were there, every night, at the corner of Elm and Vine
And you had nothing to hide
For just a few bucks and you know it's a free ride
* Repeat
I picked you up for all the wrong reasons
You left home for Hollywood, where there's no break even
We had nothing to hide
You were just a few years on the wrong side
* Repeat
It's only love, I know, a real love
I know it's only love, and you showed me how
Gotta keep you now
[INSTRUMENTAL]
We had nothing to hide
You were just a few years on the wrong side
* Repeat
In our love...in our love...thre's no shame in our love...
Baby you know that there's no choice
I'm tired of hearing my own voice
We can't live on love alone
To find some work I'll have to leave our home
And I know that things look desperate now
But stand by me we'll get through somehow
* Ooh when you touch me it all fades away
Ooh when you hold me I'll make it through another day
Winter's here and it's looking bleak
The snow is falling as we speak
And can we cut back a little more
Something will turn up I'm really sure
So please darlin' keep your faith in me
I'll make it good you wait and see
* Repeat
It's so special, oh so special
'Cos there's always you and me
And we stand alone with our love
So strong, bold and free
It's so special, oh so special
You can't take that away
There's a bond that holds us together
It'll always stay
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Though I'm getting stronger every day
Situations change, I hope and pray
I'm not a man who's afraid to fight
With you beside me I'll see the light
We'll be together, I'm sure it's meant to be
A friend and lover my only loyalty
If nothing else, it's you and me.
Instrumental
Caught in the crossfire, a warnin' fight
Legends make our brigades
Swept up on the road, in waves of the night-
In the chase for fame
I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle
Wink of an eye, the feelings ran high
A real rock and roll molest
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no slow chance
Won't get no quick change
*And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
**Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same
[INSTRUMENTAL]
**Repeat
I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some action stick
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range
* Repeat
* Repeat (ad lib)
So you've seen the sunrise on the Nile
solved the mystery of the mona lisa's smile
you proclaim your innocence
what you saying
makes no sense to me at all
So you help the needy and the sick
heard confessions of a lunatic
my eyes are growing dim
ghost shadows closing in
around me now
and there ain't no sympathy at all
just a sea of angry faces
staring at me
there ain't no sympathy at all
I gotta find someone
to make me happy
so you've scattered roses at Versailles
wiped a teardrop from an old man's eye
seeing you in such distress
I'm afraid I must confess
that boys don't cry
and there ain't no sympathy at all
just a sea of angry faces
staring at me
there ain't no sympathy at all
I gotta find someone
to make me happy
Solo
and there ain't no sympathy at all
just a sea of angry faces
staring at me
there ain't no sympathy at all
I gotta find someone,
gotta find someone,
gotta find someone
Was a fast tough woman, loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
She said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
Trust me like she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two forty five's would do the trick and pay the bills
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Holdin' out in my hotel room
Police they finally come
Had her as the prosecution
And my prints upon the gun
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
Shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Quit my job at the 7-11
3-D vision and a glance of heaven
Picked up my six string began to play
Just one touch and it started to say
All your dreams will come true
Lovely mansion with a pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life
* Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
A thousand motels waiting to trash
TV dinners, well I love that bash
And if you Eddie, just say Hi
This party's open so drop on by
All your dreams will come true
A sunny haven from the Inland Revenue
Hot nights in Paris a chance to dance
Since I signed up I've been living in a trance
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I'm feeling sick like Dawn of the Dead
I've got Marines marching through my head
John-Boy Walton, he's so nice
So come in this must be paradise
All your dreams will come true
That lovely mansion with its pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life
* Repeat
Hey now!
Pulled up back of the parking lot
This ain't Miss Daisy now, look what I got
.357 and it's primed for time
I'm just 16 but I'm blowing like a wind chime
I get up, I go down
Guess you could say I'm from the wrong side of town
Tank commander in my neighborhood
Well read my lips is this understood
(1) It's your nervous breakdown
It's your teenage shakedown
Your nervous breakdown
(Just one of those things)
I've seen all the movies on the late late show
Clint and Schwarzenegger taught me all I know
So open up and hand the money here
This is the start of an illustrious career
I get up, I go to bed
I sleep good with a price on my head
I love the glamour the girls and the car
From lemonade to Old Courvoisier
(1) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Guess it's just the same old story
Fool I didn't have a chance
She took me like a house that's burning
Never gave a second glance
Eat 'em up let 'em go and you never
Let your feelings show
She ain't here and you're asking why
Life's a bitch and then you die
Come on lover just let go
Is there something I should know
Was it just one of those nights
Something you don't remember, yeah
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I don't remember
Sitting at the bar drinking beer
Happy hour's over and love's cost me dear
The piano player sits at his stool
He's playing "Feelings" ain't' life cruel
Uptown downtown life's a river
And I wish I could drown
I could still hear those loving sighs
A lesson learnt love's just a lie
I know I made a big mistake
With love there's no even break
There's a price you have to pay
I got the bill when I heard you say
* (Was it) just one of those nights (baby)
Something I don't remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something you don't remember
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Was it just one of those nights, baby
Something I don't remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I don't remember

Saturday night, we're all on the lookout for some thrills
Try to catch the band's last song
Backstage pass really showin' out
Feel that's where I belong
Sittin' down with all the big stars at the bar
I really have a rock vocation
From monopedemania to schizophrenia
Rise to any situation
* Of old lost love, where will you go
When the show is over
Nobody wants to know

We need to feel
something that's real
'Cause you're losin' from the start
So be careful with your heart

Can't understand their highbrow conversation

Wind blows back on the battens charging

Smell of anarchy
No more nice times, black boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

Hold tight 'til the end

Lets not talk too seriously
We don't wanna fight
Now I don't care about your reputation
Or how you got it made
All I want is for you to stay
Don't want a charade
*and the lights go down
Who you with tonight
It aint so easy holding on
Everything you seem to do babe
Just turns out so wrong
Youre gone in the night
Youre gone in the night
Youre gone in the night
People try to tell you now
About responsibilities
Those married-men dos and don'ts
How it ought to be
But I don't care what they say
Don't wanna hear what's true
As long as you want me baby
You know I need you
* You said that was that but this is it
How were you to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends pat your back, then stab you with a knife
** I must be blind I'm gettin' ready to be defined
No [loose connections] cause it feels alright
I'm gettin ready to hit the [line]
Can you fee me Inside and out, I'm just waiting for you
[Cuz] it's alright Now I know just what I want to do
** Repeat
When a day breaks, turns you around
And your world upside down
And the visions fade
Rights and wrongs and just where you've gone
** Repeat
Making out is such an awful drag
And I could lose my mind And every time that I turned around
I never knew if I could really find you

Heaven knows that you´re an evil child,
Drive me crazy, drive me wild
Get home from work I don´t feel alright
Go in your bedroom you just want to fight
Moving in, moving out, baby you move my mind about
Don´t give me no reasons don´t give me no lies
Come to take you home from school you´ve broken all the rules
All I need is a bit of your love
All I want is a bit of your love
All I want is a part of you...
Heaven knows that you´re an evil child,
Drive me crazy, drive me wild
Get home from work I don´t feel alright
Go in your bedroom you just want to fight

Don´t give me no reasons don´t give me no lies
Come to take you home from school you´ve broken all the rules
All I need is a bit of your love
All I want is to hold you tight
Lights turn red to green

Four more blocks and Im safe
Make it clean without a chase
There's something special, certain feeling
I can't blow this one for sure
Ive been nervous, anxious and edgy
This ones the last one therell be no more
What Ive got to do tonight
Take the car and meet the man downtown
Its easy darling, working away
Before the words got around
* and I'll do it all for you, oh yes I will
This time Im coming through, oh yeah
I said Im burning, I been rolling
This cars turned up to make it fly
Don't worry darling just get ready
Tonight were gonna be going out in style
If anyone comes calling around
Don't answer cause you're my alibi
So just trust me, kiss me and love me
Chasing the golden mile
* repeat
-Long, long year I've sat in this place
Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go
Find a reason love's left me cold
I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with the sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand
Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had
My lost feelin' made me so sad
Tried so hard, the smile on my face
Can't get it back a gain, back home with you
* Repeat
* Repeat
* Repeat
If I could see you would you still give me
Just hold me tighter and love me maybe
You'll be my thunder, I don't want saving
You don't fool me, oh no you don't fool me
One look at you it's easy to see
oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
I'll play along, just give it to me
You build me up now, you pull me down
You make me come on yeah, keep me around
I'll want to move you, I surely could
You don't fool me, oh no you don't fool me,

Oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
One look at you girl, it's easy to see
Oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
I'll play along, just give it to me
It's hot up in the west end, there's panic right downtown
As the gangs assemble, coming up from underground
Well Jesus I don't know which side I should be on
I'm a class contender if anything goes wrong
* When it's time to rock
We're the only ones
No one takes this block
'Cos we're number one
We sneaked through the no go, very late last night
Out up from the back streets, cruising for a fight
Well Jackie's got his six string, he can play behind his back
Mickey's out from Bellevue, he's just makin' tracks
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
As we rocked through the midnight, took 'em all by storm
The police boys didn't have a chance, didn't even get warm
Oh Daddy, why am I sittin' here, I'm not a member of the bar
I'm not the only wild one in a hot wired car
* Repeat
Ruby darling's got a crazy walk
The boys love her with that dirty, dirty talk
Singles bar with the broken light
Easy touch, a lady of the night
* Ruby darling I need you
Cross my heart and promise to be true
** And you tell me that you can't change
Your life's been set, prearranged
Hold on tight 'til the morning light "cause
We belong to the night
Well-known face in every door
Street kids come and try to make a score
Patrol car stopped talk for a while
But they let you go with a warning and a smile
* Repeat
** Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
** Repeat
Life goes on down the streets
Contacts made where the gay boys come to meet
Keep saying it's your last night
Give up this life for me without a fight
* Repeat
** Repeat twice
Well, I've stuck out in your street
And I'm lookin' for some kind of halo
When somebody says to me, boy
She's too young to know
* Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don't you think you show
I guess I'll have to teach you how to roll
Met you outside school
when sure no one was lookin'
And your teacher looks at me,
all his envy growin'
* Repeat
I said, take it easy baby,
you sure know what's showin'
And I can't help myself
without your friends all knowin'
* Repeat
* Repeat
You got a long, long way to go
White lines on the highway
Rolling out into the night
Got no bag to slow us down
We're travelling light, travelling light tonight
Feel the wheels roll away
How many miles have I been gone
Listen girl you never knew
The road goes on all night long
*This fire burns tonight
The streets are alight
Out on this town we are bursting
This fire burns tonight
The streets are alight
(And) Out on this town we are bursting
Now me and my partners are moving
We run on from town to town
And this here road surface
Is setting them up rolling them down
There's girls out in the neon
Singing blues every night
And you that they'll never love you
They're travelling light, travelling light
(Repeat* 3 times)
Kid's gettin' tired, hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in (when you) can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop me at the start only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
All that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to change
Or stick in this city will drive you insane
*
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now 'til next year it'll always be the same
The black backstreets and people who don't know your name
Go with the wind if it'll only carry us away

One more time said the lady Jane
walk on in the fire
chinese whispers ringing now
step into the mire
I've been strung out to dry
blowing in the gale
my names been left hanging,
hanging on your nail
all the misfits
are flying like a kite
all of my friends
have come to see the fight
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
I can hear the Quireboys singing
and it's falling on my ears
I can hear the trumpets playing
running down the years
don't ask me how the world looks
how it looks tonight
I'm gonna be leaving babe
outta here and outta sight
I've been laying down
coming off the rails
I've been chasing shadows
playing Happy trails
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
Solo
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
(intro)
One more day, with a tumble fall,
Down the money pit, with nothing to show
Hey hey yeah
Another twist, in the horror tale
It's an open coffin, that needs one more nail
Smell of money
Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money
Attracts me to you...
Hey hey yeah money
Two clean shirts
I'm out on bail
As the barroom baits
They start to wail
The smell of money
Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money,
that brings me to you
Stretched out across the ceiling
?? Domes shimmer and glow
Golden citadels
While the autumn wind billows and flows
(instrumental)
Dancing nights, in the lost and found
Move really nice to that money sound
Smell of money, smell of money,
smell of money, smell of money
I need
I bleed
(sudden stop)
No use in pretending, it's not been and gone
There's no defending, this feeling's all too strong
Every time and every place, I see magic in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over I'll be waiting tonight
Oh, she's the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She had me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
And nothing feels better
And I know now she's the only one
Dealing with emotions we can uncreate
Being held under, oh how you infatuate
Every step and every move I see it in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over I'll be waiting tonight
Oh, baby, she's the one
I was cut right down now
Oh, she left me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
Nothing felt better
And I can't forget her she's the only one
Only one
[INSTRUMENTAL]
* Oh, she's the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She left me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
And nothing felt better
And I can't forget her she's the only one
Only one
* Repeat
Only one....she's the one...
Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town
Wonderin' the hang where
to turn each time around
Look in your mirror just to see my face
Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed
Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real
Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel
When ya dance,
I move and they look me in the eye
Two way time, baby, it's no lie
*Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed
*Repeat
*Repeat
Hey hey put me in your pocket for a day
Let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Hey hey, I could see the magic in your eyes,
There's a fire beneath these Spanish skies,
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
(instrumental)
Hey hey, let me mix you up a recipe, here's doctor love to give you therapy
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Out on the beach, blueprint of your soul, with the midnight of the city
A thousand eyes look down from space
(more instrumental)
Hey hey, put me in your pocket for a day, let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
(more instrumental, fading out eventually)
A little bit of you runnin' through my bed
Little bit of everything
You know that's what you said
* Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
** And there's your indulgence
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that appetite they won't understand
The social life you lead leaves nothin' to desire
Don't wanna see you bleed
But you came on like a liar -Repeat
* Repeat
** Repeat
Wrecked myself to love you
All you want is more
One thing you're after
You just try and score
* Repeat
** Repeat
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please,
oh the mess I'm in
She walked up to me
and really stole my heart
And then she started
to take my body apart
*Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please,
oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment,
she's turnin' paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please,
oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry
as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strain,
and I can't take any more
*Repeat
I've got to sympathize
You run with all the rest
You've kept on moving but never got the best
And all our yesterdays go sailing out of view
I know there's something left hope you can make it through
Pack It up and go, pack it up and go,
Leftover from the show, just pack it up and go
You made the impact back in 1969
But now move over friend I think you've had your time
And all our yesterdays go sailing out of view
I know there' something left, hope you can make it through
Pack it up and go, pack it up and go, left over from the show just pack it up and go
--instrumental ---
And all our yesterdays go sailing know there's something left
Hope you can make it through
* instrumental ending ---
Living inside a bottle
Strung out on a line
Caught in life's rough and tumble
Blind leading the blind
I wish there was an answer
But she's got such an easy way
And you know you can't leave her
And you know you can stay
* Oh it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
We're hiding from the small talk
And hiding all the pain
With our backs against the wall
Is all this love in vain
* Repeat
When I'm with you you know I try so hard
Not to love you but I keep up my guard
Every single day that goes by
Are we fooling ourselves living a lie
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Please tell me now it's no secret
Is this surrender with defeat
Do you let love pass you by
Walk to a different beat
* Repeat
Well I'm down, face tomorrow
I drown in this fool's sorrow
I hear the lies, who I choose
No alibis, never a trace I'm blue
(1) Well I'm not so proud
Baby I can see
You take my money
And you're laughing at me
(2) (I ain't no clown) (Money money)
And you're no debutante
I wanna give
How much do you want
(3) Money
Look what you've done to me
Money
Hope on a third degree
You 're so dumb
You got all the protection
Number one
But you only intend to clown
(Repeat (3))
You're so cool
Playing glamour glamour
Full of school
But still in emerald
(Repeat (3))
(Repeat (1) )
(Repeat (1) (1))
Money money you think I can't see
Take it all and you're laughing at me
(Repeat (2) )
(1) Come from the land where the wheat is still wheat
Where the waters in the rivers is still water
In this land every man lends a hand when you need it
But your hands are full of life
So you can help yourself and feel it
It's been a long way from the red of my home
>From the valleys and the green plains never ending
Everyone knows that the sun in his land is stronger
And your hands are full of life
If you can only wait just longer
(2) So let it be a small haven big in Your heart
Don't let it turn into an ogre
Tryin' to climb and climb
and forget this place where
I can still find time
To sing in rhyme
(3) Martian landscape.
I'll learn to lie in your arms
Where all the freedom is mine and it comes
Martian landscape,
I'll turn my face to your sun
Where your horizon is mine and it comes
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
(3) Repeat
Martian landscape
Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thingin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop bein' a star only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
And that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to take
Stayin' in this city will drive you insane
Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thingin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now till next year it'll always be the same
The black, back streets an people who don't know your name
Standin' by the roadside, future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground
*Crystal light shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me
Oh despair, it bums my lungs,
find' it hard to breath
The hospital shut their gates,
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream,
stumble the
road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream, haven't found a dream
* Repeat
* Repeat
