(J. Egan - G. Rafferty)
I could look out the windows
Or stare at the wall
It really didn't matter
No I just didn't care at all
Could be sitting by the water
Counting every stone
Cause nothing means nothing
When you're empty and on your own.
But you put something better
Inside of me
You put something better
Inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
Oh I'm amazed at the change in me.
Well I knew what I was doing
Oh I was running away
Busy going nowhere
Oh just wasting the time of day
Walking down the road
And kicking up the stones
Cause nothing means nothing
When your empty and on your own.
But you put something better
Inside of me
You put something better
Inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
Oh I'm amazed at the change in me.
(Sax Solo)
Oh you put something better
Inside of me
You put something better
Inside of me
Makes me so much stronger

It isn't easy to stay when your friends tell you go
When your heart tells you 'yes' but your head tells you no
And though we searched for a compromise
Looked in each other's eyes for answers
The die had been cast we were all out
Of last second chances
And the heart has its reasons, I know
A time and a season an ebb and a flow
You were waving goodbye I was saying hello
I don't understand it
But the heart has its reasons, I know
And who knows why it went wrong between you and me
Suddenly we weren't the people that we used to be
I was building a bridge between as
You were building a wall
And the whole thing crumbled and tumbled
In the eye of the storm
And the heart has its reasons, I know
A time and a season an ebb and a flow
You were waving goodbye I was saying hello
I don't understand it
But the heart has its reasons, I know
Oh I bless you and set you free
Though you know there's a place deep inside
Turning your back on yesterday
See you dance into another man's arms
But I'm not sure if you've emotion left at all
And if by chance you happen to find the right one
Who could give his heart
Will you run him 'round in circles
Or let yourself fall?
Tell me friend
Are you ready for love?
Are you ready for love?
I know someone hurt you bad
And now you're wary, lock those fears away
But ain't it time you stopped running away from pain?
'Cos if you don't you'll only go and hurt another
Make him leave you too
Then you'll turn around and say
Hey look, I'm the victim again
Oh, tell me friend
Are you ready for love?
Are you ready for love?
Are you ready for love?
And if by chance he happens to be the right one
Who could give his heart
Will to tell him what you're feeling?
Oh, ask yourself
Are you ready for love?
Are you ready for love?
And when I need you, I close my eyes
Then everything, now the world be nice
Well, it's all hidden in my head
And in the night when the hurt is deep
Somehow I know when I go to sleep
That you'll be standing there
Just a dream away
Passing time away
To another day
Only a dream, they say
And when it's over, I dream again
The wise men say that it's all in vain
But do wise men go insane
And if I say that I could exist
Call me a fool but I still insist
That it's all in my head
Just a dream away
Passing time away
Ooh, to another day
Only a dream, they say
Just a dream away
Passing time away
To another day
Only a dream, they say
Just a dream away
Passing time away
Ooh, to another day
Only a dream, they say
Just a dream away
Just a dream away
Just a dream away
Ooh, just a dream away
Just a dream away

Out of favour
Into the fire
Throw my state of grace
I fall to ruin
You call me a liar
The blight of the human race
But it's against my will
I am banished to this place
(Chorus)
I'm losing control
A stranger in a state of change
Locked in the rift between heaven and Hell
I drift like a falllen angel
Like a falllen angel
Here in your exile
Your justice bars
Branded the philistine
Am I the demon?
The one that turns
The human decline
And it's against my will
I'm banished to this place
I'm losing control
A stranger in a state of change
Locked in the rift between heaven and Hell
I drift like a falllen angel
Like a falllen angel
But it wasn't always this way
Once I had the glory
And you'd follw every word of my law
Now I am cast from this role
Now I am broken
I'm losing control
A stranger in a state of change
Locked in the rift between heaven and Hell
I drift like a falllen angel
It was the summer of sixty-four
we ran the streets on to the shore
And in every game we played we knew we had it made
Like no other time before.
I was just a man
you were still a child
two hearts that were running wild
There was no need to pretend
you became more than a friend
They were days without an end.
We laughed where we played
we made love where we laid
In the light again we'd run.
When the night called the tune
we'd shoot at the moon
And lavgh at what we'd done.
We were hearts of fire
Do you remember it
my friend
we didn't think that it would end.
Together then we ran
this boy became a man.
They burn on those hearts of fire
they burn on those hearts of fire
Hearts of fire!
And by seventy-two I was running free
it was just the way I wanted to be
I thought I'd left our love for dead
but my heart it ruled my head
And I fell in love instead!
We fought where we played
we made love where we laid
Just like the time before.
And if the battle should start to tear us apart
we won't go to war no more.
We were hearts of fire
Do you remember it
my friend
we didn't think that it would end.
Toghether then we ran
turn a boy into a man.
They burn on those hearts of fire
they burn on those hearts of fire
They burn on those hearts of fire
hearts of fire!
We were hearts of fire
She comes home late
And I?ve waited long
Then she sings me lines
From the songs I used to sing
When I was young
Then I feel alright
?Cause she?s that kind of girl
A woman child
A free young spirit
In a jaded world
And she knows me
Shows me
Lets me see
She?s everything a heart could ever want
(Willow)
When I call her name
(Willow)
Will she still hear me when
She?s everything a heart could ever want
(Willow)
When she looks at me
(Willow)
Her eyes just say it all
She always puts me right
When I turn up wrong
Never walks away
Her smile tells me
I?m goin? on and on and on
It gets real damn hard
To let your children grow
And when you make mistakes
It?s the time you got to let ?em
Know you know you know
I wanna know her
Show her
I wanna let her see
She?s everything a heart could ever want
(Willow)
When I call her name
(Willow)
Will she still hear me when
She?s everything a heart could ever want
(Willow)
When she looks at me
(Willow)
Her eyes just say it all
She?s everything a heart could ever want
(Willow)
She?s sometimes strange
(Willow)
So please, please, please don?t change
It ain?t an easy thing to let a young bird fly
And when they spread their wings
For the very first time, you just wanna die
Everything a heart could ever want
I know she?s everything a heart could ever want

Lookin' 'round at all the faces
I can see they're all the same
Drifting shadows on the sidewalk Slowly walking in the rain
The moon shines down she sees she knows
And I follow Through rain and sun
But you see I'm walking in my sleep
And I don't know how I got here
And when I try to keep the beat, you see I'm walking in my sleep
Didn't know that I was dreaming
Sunny days come out of midnight
In the darkness of the evening Running softly from the light
The moon Shines down She sees she knows
The star the end The tide the flow
The night so black it looks so real
Am I awake Or am I dreaming still
But you see I'm walking in my sleep
And I don't know how I got here
And though I try to keep the beat, you see I'm walking in my sleep
And through this nightmare The dream unfolds
I'm by a window The night so cold
My mind my body My room this heat
Writers: Adam Faith & David Courtney
Now where here
Threw troubled days
We've made a new life
And changed our ways
Our lives complete
For can't you see
It's me and you
( Billy Nicholls/Jon Lind)
My friends are all waiting
With time on there hands
It's Saturday night
The bridges are broken,
there's no turning back
To white city lights.
Here in this cage it gets harder to relate
What did I do, to change me this way
Oh yes I remember I can just see your face
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you.
(Guitar Solo)
A hero or villain, is what you become
Or take the road in-between
As free as a bird or a man on the run
Well it could have been me
When other lights shine and then leave me in the dark
You're always there your happy from the start
But where still separated and it's breaking my heart
I'm in love with you
You live for yourself and you think you?re a star
But nobody knows who you are
You?re lying a lie, that put you alone
But you know well that's the way of the world
They try to get through your blanket of fear
You never believe they?re sincere
Your smile is a shadow, your eyes tell it all
But I suppose that's the way of the world
You take all your money and give nothing away
It don't realize the game that you play
You know you can't do it alone
You know you can't do it alone
You take all your money and give nothing away
You don't realize the game that you play
You know you can't do it alone
You know you can't do it alone
Stop fighting something that just isn't there
No need to worry, we care
So relax and enjoy it, you'll make it for sure
Because you know that's the way of the world
That's the way
You know that's the way
You know that's the way
You know that's the way
Well, you know that's the way
Writers: Leo Sayer & David Courtney
It's been a long hard lonely winter
Life it's so cold and all alone
Now I don't no what made you stop here
But I'm so glad you came alone
So when the music stops, think it over
I'll ask the band to play your song
And when the music stops.
Think it over
And maybe I can take you home
Take you home
Just cast your mind way back ,to last summer
Oh when the sun shone all day long
Just think of the days we spent together
Just like the music soon it they'll be gone
So when the music stops.
Think it over
Before you take your things and your gone
And when the music stops.
Think it over
And maybe I can take you home
Take you home
I'll take you home
Take you home
Oh I'll take you home
Take you home
Take you home
Take you home
Everybody knows
That times changed
Times changed
Some boys look older
And the young ones smile in jest
Lads born to be the chosen one
While the wise man sings in the cuckoo?s nest
I walked the West End late last night
After seein? an old friend of mine
We talked about this place and the way it was
When a bloke could get a break before these
Times changed
These times changed
These times changed
I heard a DJ spin in Brixton
Some of that fresh massive attack
Here in the house of mass consumption
Where the ecstasy goes fast
On the screen in this month?s fashion
Lots of leather and a tattooed breast
Better this than some guru
Who?s trying to teach you how to live
When you know
Times changed
Times changed
You know times changed
Times changed
I saw a bastard slap his girl around
I said man have you gone mad
What?s gotten into you
That?s makin? you so bad
You think love is anything when you
Can?t get work, you think life is on TV
Then he turned up some of that speed metal
And said this is what I think
I rode the East End early yesterday
I was hit by the way it?s changed
From the days of Krays in my teenage years
When we all knew our place
Now the welfare state is a state of wealth
For some the hope is gone
And a cardboard box in Westminster is hard to
Call a home but you know
Times changed
Times changed
Times changed
Times changed
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

Here I am upon the stage and it's very weird
It's not myself it's someone else but standing here
And the girls look strange, as they call my name.
Someone slipped a substance in me lemonade
My head is blown,
I think I'll phone the farm brigade
Can you see those rainbows,
In the first three rows
On the milk train at four A.M.
I'll be feeling strange
On the milk train at four A.M.
I'm goona be out of my brain
(guitar solo)
Some joker threw a firework from the gallery
I can hear him scream,
I wonder what he wants from me
But it won't be long now,
to the final song.
On the milk train at four A.M.
I'll be feeling strange
But on the milk train at four A.M.
(Courtney, Todd, Daltrey)
Days go - so slow
Life just slipping away
Day after day
The wall's too close to me now
Oh I can't take too much more
All the lying
Is it just an illusion
I've been feeling the strain
And it's more than just pain
I can't help myself
'Cause I've lost myself
If I could see you through the wire
And just forget about tomorrow
No one listens to what I am saying
I'm just a sad man another sad man
They say I'm no bad man
But I'm no bad man
Wasted - wasted
All my life's been wasted
Sitting here in this room
I can never feel warm
I can get no release
It's all war and no peace
If I could see you through the wire
And just forget about tomorrow
Someone listen to what I am saying
I'm just a sad man another sad man.
If I could see you through the wire
And just forget about tomorrow
Someone listen to what I am saying
I'm just a sad man another sad man
Don't say I'm a bad man
'Cause I'm no bad man
They say it's wrong to set me free
Feel it alright, it's the same with me too
There's something that's taken a hold of us
All that we say and we do
Just look at our lives
We run through the day
And stare at the night
Is your head full of noises?
For me, well, it's just like
The 4th of July
Maybe it's change
Or the time of the year
Or is it the way
That you hold me so near
I swear it's the price of love
Now I gaze at the lights
Of burning read sky
And keep hearing the sound of your voice
(Can't shake the sound of your voice)
As you asked me to stay for awhile
Just look at us now
The world let go
Our hearts showed the way
For a moment I swear
It was heaven right there
On that warm August day
Then you said to me, "It was time that I go"
But time goes so slowly when I'm all done
I swear it's the price
I swear it's the price of love
Different emotions
For you and for me
So love is it all
That it's made out to be
When I look in your eyes
We touch and we smile
It all gets so easy
So clear and so wild
Walk on the beach with the wind in your hair
Tides rushing over these moments we share
I swear it's the price, I swear it's the price
Don't plead no special case for me
Because there ain't no way I'll get my liberty
I'm back inside, I've been betrayed
Now I know this is the greatest robbery
Night after night, I lie awake
And watch the morning break
Night after night, I get the feeling
That, there's no way back
Don't think you'll see me here again
You better find another man to take the blame
Ooo, ooo, ooo, it's getting late
I better sweat it out and get myself in shape
Time after time, only a fool
Would make the same mistake
Time after time, and every day I thought
I won't get caught
Ooo, ooo, ooo, it's getting late
I better sweat it out and get myself in shape
Night after night, I lie awake
And watch the morning break
Night after night, I get the feeling
Somebody told me, somebody told me, somebody told me
Something about you
I didn't believe it, I couldn't believe it, I'm still reeling
'Cause I just can't take the blow
Well, there's laughter and love and there's a lot of pain
I never wanna see your pretty face again
Well, there's laughter and love and there's a lot of pain
I never wanna see your pretty face again
Well, there's laughter and love and there's a lot of pain
I never wanna see your pretty face again
Full of forgiveness, you're just twisted, I'm a silly little saint

I made my way back to the old town
And everything looked the same
The shops and the schools and the factories were there
But somehow the faces had changed
So I went for a walk in the high streets
Took my coat off and rolled up my sleeves
I thought of my father and his father before him
And how I was the first one to leave
Well I didn't come here for forgiveness
There isn't a lot I can say
'cause I remember the reasons I first ran away
Chorus
I'm a rebel
Just a rebel
Got my back to the wall
Gonna fight 'til I fall
I'm a rebel
When it comes time for leavin'
Don't stand in my way
Don't ever look back - don't surrender
The old men say they've seen it before
Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends
Who didn't come back from the war
Don't say I'm too young to remember
don't tell me what's wrong or what's right
Just give me a chance to go out there and fight
Chorus
When it comes time for leavin'
Don't stand in my way
There's nothing left for me here
Gonna run, run away
Chorus
Just a rebel
Just a rebel
I'm a rebel...

It could never be
Someone like you could part from me
You the open seas,
me with my long hair and my jeans.
Every where I go
A crowd of people stop to stare
They can't see it's you
But they don't believe,
but it's me who's standing there.
Proud, Ooo that makes me proud
Proud, that it makes me proud.
Years don't mean a thing
In fact it fills my mind with pride
When people see it's you
You know they can't believe it's me beside your side.
Proud, Ooo that makes me proud
Proud, that it makes me proud.
Makes me so proud,
yes you make me so proud.
Every where I go
A crowd of people stop to stare
They can't see it's you
But they don't believe,

Makes me so proud,
You can float your boat in China
It could take you all night
It could take a long time
To forget about me
You might find another lover
He might even sail you
But you will still remember
How we made love time the first
Time ever was sacred
We were deep in love time the way love
Does a reflection
Now you can tell a lie real good
And maybe I'll believe every word
Mirror mirror on the wall
Look into my crystal ball
Let me in your darkest hour
Mirror mirror take a look into me now
I can feel your stormy weather
I can feel your wind blow
Every time you come close
Why do you deny me?
I might find another lover
She might even save me
But I will still remember
How we made love time the first
Time ever was sacred
We were deep in love time the way love
Does a reflection
Now I can tell a lie real good
And maybe you'll believe every word
Mirror mirror on the wall
Look into my crystal ball
Let me in your darkest hour
Mirror mirror take a look into me now
Mirror mirror on the wall
Look into my crystal ball
Let me in your darkest hour
Mirror mirror mirror take a look into me
Take a good look into me now
You can float your boat in China
It could take you all night
It could take a long, long time
To forget about me
I will feel your stormy weather
I will feel your wind blow
Baby, when you come close

So near to surrender
So near to an end
So near to surrender
The smile is to pretend.
Oh you might think your small
With your back to a wall
Oh you might think your sad
When you've been hurt so bad.
But when somebody cares for you
Someone who shares
Your not near to surrender anymore.
(Guitar Solo)
So near, So near to surrender
Your futures, your futures unknown
But don't you surrender.
You fought, you fought for long
Theirs always a face
Waiting to take your place.
Theirs always a clown
Working on your lonely frown
But when losing is not on your mind
Maybe you'll find your not near to surrender
Somebody cares for you
Someone who shares
Your not near to surrender anymore

Somewhere out there, city streets
Secret places where lovers meet
But I stay in my room And look down at the people below
Watching for the one face I've been l\waiting for
Been living alone for far too long
Now I need someone I can depend upon
But who knows what I'll do
When I've searched in all the places I know
Watching for the one heart that I'm waiting for
Looking for you I've walked the boulevards
Looking for you I've hung around all night bars
Looking for you I leave the door ajar
Where do you think you are?
Somewhere out there the city beats
But I won't give up, won't admit defeat I'll go on searching
Through the crowds that keep us apart

Never was a man so blind He had no time for anyone
Closed his eyes and turned his head away
Pushed aside his friends
Threw away his love All gone all gone all gone
So blind
Never was a man so cold He didn't care for broken hearts
Played with love the way he played his game
He would play to die
When the stakes were high So cold so cold so cold
So blind
And how, how does the cold wind cry
How, how does the cold wind cry
The bitterness bites into me And I feel cold inside
How does the cold wind cry How does the cold wind cry
Never was a man so fooled He couldn't trust his own reply
Taken in by words that only lie He was so amazed
By his own self praise Such a fool, such a fool, such a fool

My baby left me for another guy
She calls him Giddy but she don't know why
But if I catch them at it someone's going to pay
For making me feel so bad for so long
The feeling only just went away
But I don't feel sick
I don't feel so bad anymore
I got over it
I don't feel so bad anymore
Rode all night 'till I finally hit the daybreak
Rode all night 'till I finally hit the day
Rode all night 'till I finally hit the daybreak
When the sun comes up I'm gonna catch Giddy up
My baby left me for another guy
She calls him Giddy but she don't know why
But if I catch them at it someone's going to pay
For making me feel so bad for so long
The feeling only just went away
I don't feel sick
I don't feel so bad anymore
I got over it
I don't feel so bad anymore
Rode all night 'till I finally hit the daybreak
Rode all night 'till I finally hit the day
Rode all night 'till I finally hit the daybreak

All of me, can I get nearer love
Can't you see, I'm willing to try to Love it is, oh so near enough
It's all for sale, I'm willing to cry
Going strong Going strong Take, take it's me or nothing
Going strong
All of you, But how can I get enough
More I need, To satisfy Furthermore, never could mean a lot
Just tell me now, I wanna know why
Going strong. . . .
Love it is, But how can I mean a lot
More or less, To do or die Well there it is, Strange but true or not
You for me, For you to sigh
(Courtney, Meeham, Daltrey)
Easy life don't go to fast
Before you know all the days have passed
Think before you make a move
If it's too late then you're bound to lose
I wasn't built for pain
But I'd do it again
Easy life take it slow
Now I've found the way to go
Moving on leaving the past
Easy life don't go to fast
It wasn't all the same
Cover Of Love

Susie sits all alone
She waits by the telephone
Joey's out having fun
Waits to call when she's not at home
She gets scared and then takes off
And runs from the cover of love
He knows that he'll find her there
And knows what she'd thinking of
I know the broken hearted
When I look in their eyes I see
Is it the world that's changing
And turning away from me
Why do we run from the cover of love
Why do we run from the cover of love
You and I have been through this
A million times or more
Don't we know it's the same routine
So what are we fighting for
We all go and waste our time
But we are all the same
All we do is just to tun away
And play the same old game
You know the broken hearted
When you look in my eyes you see
Is it my life that's changing
And getting away from me
Why do we run from the cover of love
Why do we run from the cover of love
The changing heart knows no bound
Time may stand still
Emotions keep turning the fire burns on and on
You know the broken hearted
When you look in my eyes you'll see
Is it my life that's changing
And getting away from me
Why do we run from the cover of love
Why do we run from the cover of love

Can you hear that sound
It's all around you and me
There's a voice
It searched and found you
What can it be?
It's like thunder and lightning
Speaking your name
And this man of fire
Could be burnt in the flame
You know what you do
What you do-
Chorus
You're breaking down paradise
And I'm the one who pays the price
Any way I play or lose
Any way that I throw the dice
You're breaking down paradise
You're breaking down paradise
You walk away
And turned the day
Into night
The cold and lonely night
Out of the silence
There's a hurricane
And all around me
It's burning again
It's burning again and again
Chorus
It's like thunder and lightning
Speaking your name
And this man of fire
Could be burnt in the flame
You know what you do
What you do-

It's like a needle in my side
The fire of pain is burning through me
Stretching the limits of restraint
Emotion bottled up and strapped around me
The list is clenched as in a light
The jawbone pulses with blood
Eyelids flicker and sweat starts to bead
I'm cut so deep, but I just can't bleed
It's not something you wear on your sleeve
No tears for people to see
The hurt that comes from inside is damaging me
This is no conflict of interest
This is no day to day scene
These are isolated incidents
With measures of time in between
We try to balance on wires
We try to live between the lines
Our love is cautioned with errors
We may learn but it may take some time
It's not something you wear on your sleeve
No tears for people to see
The hurt that comes from inside is damaging me
I'm barefoot walking on razors
A surface leaving no traces where have I been
I'm open to your persuasion
Each time a new situation
Bears down on me
Bears down on me
It's not something you wear on your sleeve
No tears for people to see
The hurt that comes from inside is damaging me
We try to balance on wires
Balance on wires
It's not something you wear on your sleeve
It comes from inside

I'm on the same street as you
For so long I never new
You weren't there to wonder where
An empty chair in a room that's bare.
But now I now my hearts right
Now you hear my hearts right

I've seen you here before But you've never noticed me
I've seen you crying alone and It makes me sad to see
If you feel the way I do
Then tears won't comfort you Would a stranger do?
You want the world to let you be But you have to realise
Don't be afraid of company 'Cause it's just a compromise
I know it's a risk we're taking
But think of the time we've been wasting
Scuse me for asking lady I don't really mean to intrude
Forgive me for asking Would a stranger do?
Your heart says go find someone new
But it whispers don't get hurt
Well I'd like to find somebody too
Can I take a chance on you I know it's a risk we're taking
But think of the time we've been wasting
Scuse me for asking lady I don't really mean to intrude
Forgive me for asking
Would a stranger do. .. Would a stranger do for you?
(Steve Swindells)
Now he's a double agent playing espionage
Now he's a trouble maker with his playing cards
Up in the briefing room they plan there strategies
But he works on his own he's living dangerously
Hear them walking
Pacing floors and
climbing up the walls
Hear them talking
Telling lies on
Transatlantic calls.
Treachery It's hanging in the cloud
Treachery It's hiding in the crowd
People walk along the while with sensitivity
Some whisper in the wings of a conspiracy
Some like to keep there distance and identity
But always walk alone with some uncertainty
See them filing
Information
Covering there tracks
See them smiling
Admiration
With knives behind their backs
Treachery It's hanging in the cloud
Treachery It's hiding in the crowd
Treachery
Treachery
Treachery
It's hanging in the clouds.
Treachery
Treachery
Treachery
You live for yourself and you think your a star
But nobody knows who you are.
Your lying a lie, that put you alone,
But you know well that's the way of the world
They try to get threw your blanket of fear
You never believe their sincere.
Your smile is a shadow, your eyes tell it all,
But I suppose that's the way of the world
You take all your money, and give nothing away
It don't realize the game that you play
You know you can't do it alone
You know you can't do it alone
(Guitar solo)
You take all your money, and give nothing away
You don't realize the game that you play
You know you can't do it alone
You know you can't do it alone
Stop fighting something that just isn't there
No need to worry we care.
So relax and enjoy it you'll make it for sure
Because you know that's the way of the world
That's the way
You know that's the way
You know that's the way
You know that's the way
Well you know that's the way
(Blunstone)
Every evening I come down here
It's a heaven that I've found here
Just looking out at what is going on
I drank too much wine and whisky
It makes everything go misty
Oh I'd love to take you home with me tonight.
It's a single man's dilemma
Should he look away or tell her
That she's the sweetest thing he's ever seen
You know at first lines don't come easy
Will she listen when she sees me
But I'd love to take you home with me tonight
Oh I'd love to take you home with me tonight
Where are you going to my sweet lady
Have you got the time to save me
There ain't nothing wrong that true love wouldn't cure
But I never heard her answer
I guess I ain't no true romancer
Oh I'd love to take you home with me tonight
Oh I'd love to take you home with me tonight
When I woke it was 4:30
And my God that girl was dirty
And I hoped that was the last I'd see of her
But in her place there was a letter
Saying I hope you soon feel better
Won't you come around and spend some time with me
Oh I usually charge but you can come for free
(Liszt / Lyrics: Benson / Daltrey)
Now love, sweet love, Ooh now that love has won
Ooh now that love has won
Now love, our love, how love has ended war
He'll torture man no more
Your words give meaning to my song
How love created harmony with faith we'll gather universe through infinity
Last at last I'll live in peace at last,
Forgiven for my past peace at last
Ooh at last at last I'll live in peace at last forgiven for my past
Peace at last, at last, at last
Ooh I live in peace at last forgiven for my past, Peace at last.
At last, Ooh at last I'm gonna live in peace at last forgiven for my past..peace at last
(P. Goodhand-Tait)
I came through today
At the back of a street parade
And their I am, right side of your TV screen
Slightly out of focus
but unmistakably serene
Never made the big time
but I was in that scene.
Oh I was thinking about in films
How in no time so it seems
The hero meet his princess
The king found his queen
But in real life
There's only in between
I've never been a hero
But I was in that scene.
Hollywood exist still
Cause there's a sign upon the hill
We buy the maps, and make the tours
To touch the world of, motion, pictures.
(Guitar Solo)
So here I am
Until the good time end to be
I've never made the big time
But I was in that scene
Hollywood exist still
Cause there's a sign upon the hill
We buy the maps, and make the tours
To touch the world of, motion, pictures.
A star died today
And they had a little street parade
And all the other stars turned out
To say how nice he'd been
Someone at the back
Flowing with the stream
Never made the headlines
But I was in that scene.
Someone at the back
Flowing with the stream
Never made the headlines
But I was in that scene.
Someone at the back
Flowing with the stream
Never made the headlines
(Liszt / Lyrics: Benson / Daltrey)
You are my soul no strength to fight your teary hands
Please spare me I am alone kill me and you destroy yourselves.. be soothed
You take me on, make me whole
These moments can not be controlled
My shame, be my gain, together we can light the flames
Flames of life, flames of truth.
Take my life in this hell
Surrender with me to the spell
We'll go, let it show, our harmony makes music flow.
Lead me on; let my past be gone
You are my lives, Oh good my life's be gone

Why do we run in this race with each other
I can do anything better than you
Do you believe in the laws of the jungle
The weak can be strong, well you won't last long
One day you'll understand why Too late to give it a try
Back at home they wonder why I never call
Now we're through with it all
One day when everything's out of the way
Only the memories stay
We'll both be wondering who, when or where
But we don't really care, then we'll wonder
One day you'll realize why Just when you've given up trying
One day you're gonna go back to the place
Check it out just in case, and you'll wonder
I won't be the loser No, that just won't do

My time is wasting
feel I'm moving too slow
Can't get my pedal to the metal
But I'm ready to go.
Live in the fast lane
there's trouble ahead
better move over
you're a long time dead
I'm chasing rainbows
in the cold light of day
feels like I'm wasting
my lifetime away
Breaking the limits
bending the rules
can't stand standing still
but speed is for fools
Chorus
I move better in the night
I won't stop til the day light
It makes me feel right
I move better in the night.
Out on the freeway
everybody pays
throw in my money
or I'm waiting for days.
I'm overheating
ready to burn
there's dirt on my wheels
but they're ready to turn.
Chorus
Fender to fender
nose to tail
mind over matter
I just can't fail
lights going down
give me some more
come on I'm ready to roar
The silence is saying there's trouble ahead
The pressure speaks louder than words
It feels like we're hanging on by a thread day to day
The closer we get seems we're further apart
Let's back off before it's too late
Since we know each other's lives by heart anyway
We?ve come so damn far and been through it all
It's hard to turn 'round with your back to the wall
And the tears rain down
It's a lover's storm
When the lightning strikes and the pain is born
Feels like another lover's storm
When the heat of the night keeps our emotions warm
It's a lover's storm
We?ve got to give in, try to work it out
This whole thing's dragged on for so long
But I forgot what we're fighting about anymore
Now I just don?t know how much I can take
I'm bending so far, feels like I'm gonna break
It's a hard life
When you feel down
And nobody understands you
They leave you hanging around
You waste all your days
Miss all your nights
Sit round just dreaming
You can do nothing right
It's a hard life
When your alone
Cramped in your lonely little room
Under dressed like a bone
You walk in the streets
And people are so blind
Won't give you there penny
They just don't have the time
Ooh, it's a hard life
Up on the road
You better check it well
Before you meet all the blows
For you won't like the walkin'
You'll get caught in the rain
But the steep on the highway

Wheeling dealing drives me crazy
Sometimes feel I'm goin insane
Magic moments
High rents
Pretence
I can't do the same thing
My place, your place
Slapped face, Rat race
I wonder will I ever be free
Or is freedom something I'll never see
Cos it don't satisfy me
High lights, low lights
Slit skirts, no tights
Sometimes feel I'm getting too old
TVs Bee's knee, late night movies
People thinking brass is gold
Turn round, slow down
Feeling low down
I can't keep going on this way
Cos if that's all life is
All I can say
That it don't satisfy me
Satisfy this craving to keep finding something new
Female singers. Said a tin man, rattling his feelings to a straw man, sad and weary eyed.
Tin Man. Oh, the smith gave me tin riddance
but, forgot to put a heart inside.
Female singers. Then he banged his hallow chest and cried!
Tin Man. When a man's an empty kettle, he should be on his metal and yet I'm torn apart. Just because I'm presumin', that I could kinda human, if I only had a heart. I'd be tender; I'd be gentle, and awful sentimental, regarding love an art. I'd be friends with the sparrows and the boy who shoots the arrows if I only had a heart. Picture me a balcony, above the voice sings low.
Dorothy. Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
(Russ Ballard)
Free me
Cant you hear that's what I say
Free me
Anyhow or anyway.
I hear a voice
Call in the night
Push on the brain
Fades with the light
And I've seen a face
With so many eyes
Out in the words
Know there lies
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say.
Free me
Free me
Inside I'm bleeding can't you see
Free me
From all this pain and misery.
I am a flame
But he held the fire
Call me a fool don't call me a liar
Take me to hell
And let me stay
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say.
Free me
(Guitar Solo)
I lie awake burning inside
No where to run and no where to hide
Old lady time
She's no friend to me
I feel her change
And she holds the key
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say.
Free me
Free me
Cant you hear that's what I say
Free me
(Liszt / Lyrics: Benson /Vocal : Daltrey)
Life is pain, pain is lost
Life is pain, pain is lost
Lost is mine for living wild
The innocent are dying
They were pure as pure as love
Ooh they were pure as pure as love
But now they're crushed before the weight of man's desire for self
Destruction.
War is waste and waste is guilt
War is waste and waste is guilt
Guilt is mine for watching while my countrymen are dying
My man is dead, my love's destroyed

How long must I sit around waiting for you?
Think of all the heartache you've been putting me threw
You must have a soul but it don't show
Come on and love me or let me go.
Come and get your love

Come and get your love
(Get your love)
Come and get your love
(Get your love)
Come and get your love
(Get your love)
Come and get your love
Before I give it away
(Come and get it)
Your a devil witch, and I'm hypnotized
Oh woman I can see right threw your eyes
Here's something for you (right here) take it from me
Why don't you love me or set me free.
Oh come and get your love
(Get your love)
Come and get your love

So why don't you say

Get your love
(Get your love)
Come and get your love
(Get your love)
Come and get your love
(Get your love)
Come and get your love
Before I give it away

It's the same rain the same pain
The same picture in the same frame
Cold close smoldering hearts
And it can't burst into flames then
Again it can't go out
My passion is a nightingale with a
Sword throat
A dolphin in the Thames it's a wasted love
It's a telephone ringing in A empty house
It's motherless child
You can say it's a good thing
You can say it's a bad thing
You can call it anything you want
But you can't call it love
No. you can't call it love
I'm lost among the stars
Another wishful one is waiting in the wings
To pick up where the last one put you down
To dry your eyes and fashion your new crown
Of fox gloves and steel strings
You can say it's a good thing
You can say it's a bad thing
You can call it anything you want
But you can't call it love
No. you can't call it love
No. you can't call it love
The same town's still standing
But the changes come creepin' through
My dreams
But it's a little late for praying
When your world is already on its knees
And on and on and on and on
My nightmare's a devil's dog on a rolling log
Got no control, no sense of time, its
Just a rhyme
And a banshee hollers in the dead of night
It's a homeless ghost
You can say it's a good thing
You can say it's a bad thing
You can call it anything you want
But you can't call it love
No. you can't call it love
No. you can't call it love
Do you wish you had the power
To be just who you wish to be.
Or you could be a most important person,
don't you agree
Or can't you see we're just like strangers
I don't know you, you don't know me.
Oh let's say maybe, I'm a movie star
and you're the queen.
You are yourself
Like everybody else.
And when you realize you're just the same,
then you'll be free.
So do you wish to have the answer
To what I'm trying to say.
Just close your eyes, and maybe you can see yourself,
and you're OK
The world is full of lonely people
And lonely people often dream.
Day by day, they dream of being someone else
like you and me
You are yourself
Like everybody else
And when you realize you're just the same
then you'll be free.
You are yourself
Like everybody else
And when you realize you're just the same
then you'll be free.
You......... are yourself
You are yourself
You are yourself
You are yourself
You are yourself

Did you ever see a thousand miles away
A man in a room, with what you say
Looks may different are really the same
He could be me in another frame
It's all over
The world over
It's all over
The world over
And a man looks up to infinity
Opens his eyes
to look at me
His looks may be different, his eyes see the same
No borders between us a thousand names
It's all over
The world over
It's all over
The world over
Up and down
Let go light
What ever difference makes the whole thing right
Don't ask where
Don't ask why
Everybody knows you can live and die
The world over
And you can see the world a thousand miles away
Here I am here's what I say
But we all look different, but were one in the same
No borders between us, there's no one to blame
It's all over
The world over
It's all over
You can show me the way, give me a sunny day
But what does it mean without your love?
And if I could travel far, if I could touch the stars
Where would I be without your love?
Whenever I get to feel, down and out
I think about what you said and then I give up
If I could fly away, if I could sail today
Where would I go without your love?
You can show me the way and give me a sunny day
But what does it mean without your love?
And if I could travel far, if I could touch the stars
Where would I be without your love?
And if I ever wonder away to far
You come looking for me with open arms
I could forget my home, feel like a rolling stone
But who would I be without your love?
And what does it mean without your love?
Christine my eyes, show me how to see ya
Come on hold out your hand, rap me 'round your finger
To be interior designed, let me be conditioned
To do the crawl on the floor, looking for the mission
Speak with my tongue, tell me how to follow
Come on, show me who walks on blessed Virgin water
One that can rise above our kind that sinned like all my brothers
One that'll christen my eyes and bring me to my senses
Who will fall and who will rise?
Who might have to advertise?
Who will be the President?
Who will tell you anything?
Now, who gonna, who gonna
Who gonna walk, walk on water
Who gonna, who gonna, who
Gonna walk, walk on water
Who gonna, who gonna walk
Who gonna walk, walk, walk, walk
Come to my cause, give me destination
Tell me, who can I trust that doesn't take commission
Who does the miracle for real and tells me there's no Heaven
One that will take all control and dim my television
Christen my eyes, show me who to follow
Come on, show me who walks on blessed Virgin water
Hey now, who will fall and who will rise
Who might have to advertise?
Who will be the President?
Who will tell you anything?
Now, who gonna, who gonna, who gonna
Walk, walk on water
Who gonna, who gonna, who
Gonna walk, walk on water
Who gonna, who gonna, who gonna walk
Walk on water
Who gonna, who gonna, who gonna walk
Walk, walk, walk
Speak with my tongue yeah and christen
My eyes
Who's gonna go walking on
I've been thinking about the time that we're spending here
Refuges in a world gone cold
The voice of reason can't seem to find a listening ear
The vote is out, the bell still tolls
I can't shake this feeling, we're crawling closer to the edge
Yet we still go out, walk about, chit and chatter
Let the problems of the world go by
I don't really want to wake up to the pitter patter
Of little bombs falling from the sky
Tell me that we're really all strangers
Tell me I'm not right
Tell me that there isn't any danger
Tell me in the dark of the night
When the thunder comes
From distant drums
The winds will blow
The dreams of man into the indigo
There's got to be a way to stop it, stop it
'Cause there's no turning back once we cross that line
And all your money in the right pocket can't buy you any time
A chilling wind feels so near, will I live to meet my darkest fears?
When the thunder comes
From distant drums
The winds will blow
The dreams of man into the indigo
We?ll see the shifting of sands
And the fall of mighty lands
Great peace will finally dawn
As we meet our maker when the thunder comes
When the thunder comes
From distant drums
We?ll all be one when the thunder comes
The winds will blow
The dreams of man into the indigo
Baby back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High hose, tippy toes
She broke the needle and she can sew
Walking the dog
I'm just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now c'mon
I asked her mother for fifteen cents
I see you ever jumped the fence
I jumped so high, touched the skies
Didn't get back until a quarter to five
Walking the dog
I'm just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon c'mon now
Tell me Mary, what's your twelve
How does your garden grow
What with silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row
Walking the dog
I'm just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now c'mon
Baby back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High hose, tippy toes
She broke the needle and she can sew
Walking the dog
I'm just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now c'mon
Yeah, j-j-just a walking
Uh, j-j-just a walking
Uh, j-j-just a walking
Now, if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now c'mon
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
If I fell in a lake, would you dive in
Or stand there and gape?
And if I drowned, would you jump
Or would you let the water burst in my lungs?
Well, a stranger in the street
Maybe the only one on his knees
When your laying by the roadside
Waiting for a friend to come
Got my hopes, got my doubts
My gut reaction says, I got to find out
Who's against, who to trust?
Ooh, you never know, but I might get killed in the rush
But a stranger in the street
Maybe the only one on his knees
When your laying by the roadside
Waiting for a friend to come
You laugh, you think it's a joke
Just stand there grinning
Will you be there at the post
When I ain't winning?
Hey, black or white, good and bad
How many times have I done this and done that
Every life, everyone
If I knew that, I'd probably take out a gun
But it's mother natures law
To get you coming back for more
Just stand laying by the roadside
Waiting for a friend to come
You laugh, you think it's a joke
Just stand there grinning
Will you be there at the post
When I ain't winning?
Hey, black or white, good and bad
How many times have I done this and done that?
Every life, everyone
If I knew that, I'd probably take out a gun
But it's mother natures law
To get you coming back for more
Just stand laying by the roadside
Waiting for the end to come
Laying by the roadside
Time and time again
Someone comes to take you to the
Edge of something new
Why is it so hard for you to fall
I have stood alone
Watched from a distance
Of a friend who understands
One who?d always be there if you
Knew you what you are looking for
And you know it when you find it
With the key in your hand
It?s time to walk a naked stage of glass from hot sands
Where a sound within your heart will rage
And if rocks in the head moving ever on
Life is an unforgettable opera
The time will come again
When starring in your eyes a place that
You have seen before
Always something to remind you
It?s not a game of chance
Some you loose
And some you just can?t win them all at once
Time will give you everything
It?s a rhythm that will never stop
It?s like a clock that ticks between us
And the keys in your hand
Your time to walk a naked stage of glass from hot sands
Where a sound within your heart will rage
And if rocks in the head moving ever on
Life is an unforgettable opera
Take the key in your hands
It?s time you walked that naked stage of glass from hot sands
Where a sound within your heart will rage
With the key in your hand
It?s time to walk a naked stage of glass from hot sands
Where a sound within your heart will rage
And if rocks in the head moving ever on
In the searchlights
You could see us as we circled around
Down below us you were screaming, I could hear the sound
I could see your arms reaching up to me
Like a demon, I could feel the madness
Running through the crowd, we were freedom
From the moment that we hit the ground
And the wild man he laid the thunder down
Do you remember me?
Like I remember you
In a sea of hands you came shining through
In the mist of time, I can see it now
All my life I will remember this
(Under a raging moon)
For this moment I was born for it
(Under a raging moon)
Under a raging moon
We were flying there
Under a raging moon
We saw Zion there
It ended all too soon
Under a raging moon
We were out there
When they handed us the rebel's crown
All the headlines
All they tried to do was tear us down
But the wild man, he didn't fool around
Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you
Yeah, you won my love
When the dream came true
When my blood ran high, I can hear it now
All my life I will remember it
(Under a raging moon)
For this moment I was born for it
(Under a raging moon)
Under a raging moon
We were flying boy
Under a raging moon
It's worth dying for
It ended all too soon
Under a raging moon
Under a raging moon
Taking me back to better times
We never read the danger signs
Why are the young
Why are the young so blind?
Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you
Yeah, you won my love
When my dream came true
All my life I will remember this
(Under a raging moon)
For this moment I was born for it
(Under a raging moon)
All my life I will remember it
(Under a raging moon)
For this moment I was born for it
(Under a raging moon)
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
Break his legs
And give him thirty years in jail
I was just
Thinking about a girl
She meant to me the world
She meant the earth
I was just
Thinking about time
Some are left behind
Some think were wrong
Thinking about your face behind my door
Thinking about the love we made on the floor
Thinking I'd like too get back to before
Get back to before
I was just
Thinking about the rain
The way the seas have changed
You just can't stop 'em
Ooh, I was just
Thinking about the sun
And you and me on the run
We had some fun
Thinking about the world that it gets no better
Thinking about my love, I should have given more
Thinking I'd like too get back to before
Get back to before
Thinking about the world that it gets no better
Thinking about my love I should have given more
Thinking I'd like too get back to before
Get back to before
I was just
Thinking about a girl
She meant to me the world
She meant the earth
Ooh, I was just
Thinking about the sun
And you and me on the run
We had some fun
Thinking about your face behind my door
Thinking about the love we made on the floor
Thinking I'd like too get back to before
Thinking about the world that it gets no better
You'd better give him up
Oh, give him up
Explain it to him naturally
So he don't get hurt
We've got so much left to do
And he'll step right inside my shoes
I will leave it up you, to you
You'd better give him up
Oh, give him up
Explain it to him naturally
So he don't get hurt
We've got so much left to do
And he'll step right inside my shoes
I will leave it up you
So you don't think it's going to work
Don't think it's going to work
Well, I ask you from experience
Do you want it enough
Am I right to a suit
Does he mean that much to you
Take him up, you know you won't lose
Well, I better give you up
Oh, I better give you up
Go back to the lonely streets
Well, I wish you broke up
Why do things always go wrong
Perhaps I let to you to long
But then you sot in me along, along
So you don't think it's going to work
You don't think it's going to work
Well, I ask you from experience
You don't want it enough
Am I right to a suit
Does he mean that much to you

I'm not the kind of guy to let jealousy
Break me up inside
I've got no time for sympathy
That girl she's just a memory
Over which I'll glide
Some say that I shouldn't care
That I should celebrate now she's out of my hair
But Lord knows, the pride you hide
Hanging around the same old parts
And driving in the same old cars
With the same old friends
Those weekends I spent on my own
At first I found it hard alone
Now I'm on the mend
A voice tells me that I was such a fool
to throw away everything I had with you
but Lord knows, the pride you hide
When you're breaking up inside
Lord knows, the pride you hide
Chorus
The pride you hide, when you're breaking up inside
Every single day sees this man break down and cry
Try and find the strength to make it through the day
Try and find the strength to say come back and stay
And all my emotions lying in the snow
We're walking down the streets where the two of used to go
Somewhere over there from the door of a street cafe
I hear that old blues guitar play
I found some things of yours today
An old guitar you used to play
Threw 'em all away
They took me to another place
I smelt your perfume saw your face
With your hair that way
All that happened was a stupid mistake
I acted like a fool now it's too late
I'm another lonely guy with no heart for forgiving
Without you around, I find it so hard living.
Chorus
Lord knows
The pride you hide, when you're breaking up inside
Lord knows
The pride you hide, when you're breaking up inside
The pride you hide, when you're breaking up inside

Forty days of living hell
Force nine gale, broken sail
What a story I could tell
Forty days of ocean roar
Now two nights to kill on shore
Stars fall, girls call, take me home
Walking through this empty town
Cuts me up and brings me down
I'm shipwrecked on my own
Passing cars striptease bars
And I'm drinking all alone
Lost dreams, gull screams, take me home
But this machine inside my head
Remembers every word she said
But this machine inside my head
Is telling me this dream is dead
And leaves me drifting high and dry
Read light beauty calls me in
Smoky haze, shifty gaze
And the dead night smells of gin
As rage and emptiness collide
Just feel a burning deep inside
Waves growl, winds howl, take me home
Someone please now rescue me
From the chains of the sea
I'm drifting endlessly
Someone please set me free
(Murray Head)
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe and I've got a right
to know.
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
I'm sure there telling us lies Joe please tell us it
ain't so.
They told us are hero has played his last trump card
He doesn't know how to go on.
Were clinging to his charm and he turned and smiled
But the good ole days are gone.
The army and the empire may be falling apart
And the money had gotten scarce.
One mans word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce.
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
We pend our hopes on you Joe and there ruining our
show.

Where going to get burned
Ooo learn

Yea.....
Say it ain't so, Joe please

That's not what I want to hear Joe please tell us it

Say it ain't so, Joe please

I'm sure there telling us lies Joe and I've got a right

They told us are hero has played his last trump card

Satin and lace
There before my eyes
Walking through a dream
Bearing no disguise
Holding out my hand
I've told my share of lies
But now I understand
Places I've seen
I've searched a million times
To find someone who knows
And understands my mind
No one can hurt me now
No need for me to hide
I've made it
I've played it
I've sang my songs to please them
I've seen them falling from the highest highs
They owned me
But they're lonely
They ended up with nothing
I took my chances and I learnt to fly
Fly away
Time after time
Tried to live with pain
Closed so many doors
But walked back in again
No one to turn and say
No one to show the way
And help me make the change
Satin and lace
There before my eyes
I know it's not a dream
But now that I've arrived
The time has come to see
The chains are gone - I.m free
I've made it
I've played it
I've sang my songs to please them
I've seen them falling from the highest highs
They owned me
But they're lonely
They ended up with nothing
I took my chances and I learnt to fly
Fly away
I've made it
I've played it
I've sang my songs to please them
I've seen them falling from the highest highs
They owned me
But they're lonely
They ended up with nothing
I took my chances and I learnt to fly

Reason
Oh theirs gotta be a reason
Behind the things that you do.
Treasons
Find me guilty of treason
Making evil out of good.
Well I pick up my life and I turn and walk away
Well I pick up my life and I turn and walk away
Pick up my life and live for everyday
Pick up my feet and I turn and walk away.
Stop!
You better stop and listen
See what tomorrow may bring
Oh well it may just bring you sunshine
And it may just bring you rain.
Oh well I pick up my life and I turn and walk away
Oh well I pick up my life and I turn and walk away
Pick up my life and live for everyday
Oh well pick up my feet and I turn and walk away.
(Guitar Solo)
Pick up my feet and I turn and walk away.
Help
You got to help yourself
To live together with your friends
Well were all using somebody
To make it in the end.
Well I pick up my life and I turn and walk away
Well I pick up my life and I turn and walk away
Well pick up my life and live for everyday
Pick up my feet and I turn and walk away
White girl, in a perfect world
You?d trust in your lover
Will boys ever be boys again
Blond boy, in a perfect world you?d know if
You loved her
Will girls ever be girls again
Black boy, in a perfect world there?d
Be understanding
Still you?re perfect ?cause you love your girl
Black girl, in a perfect world there?d
Be no demanding
Still you?re perfect ?cause you love your man
It don?t make no difference
Boys of London, girls of Memphis
We are all a revolution in this jaded institution
In the New York times
To the L. A. coast
They go bump to bump
In the perfect world
For the perfect boy and the perfect girl
They go bump to bump in the perfect world
Black girl, in a perfect world you?d know
That I love ya
And everyone would understand
White boy, in a perfect world you?d
Need no protection
And love would still be something in heart
White girl, in a perfect world there?d
Be understanding
And boys would be boys again
Black girl, in a perfect world you?d know
That I love ya
And everyone would understand
It don?t make no difference
Boys of London, girls of Memphis
We are all a revolution in this jaded institution
In the New York times
To the L. A. coast
They go bump to bump
In the perfect world
For the perfect boy and the perfect girl

It's easy in the confidence of a warm heart
to observe how other lovers criticise
When their turn comes to part They grow uncivilised
Wasn't friendship going to carry us
When love ran out?
Didn't we know What respect was all about?
But now it would seem That's all forgotten
(I didn't want it to end like this)
And I don't even know (I didn't want it to end)
When we lost the way
Oh no no no Not me and you Not we two Oh no-didn't we agree
Parting would be painless
I remember how in the safety of our love
We swore we'd never let that state arise
And if one had had enough We would be civilised
By watching we could avoid The same mistakes
We would tread the soft way out For the other's sake
Can it be possible Is it happening this way
We are the same two people Tearing up in anger Tearing everything in complicated knots
(Gibbons)
He speaks with a terrible stammer
So he don't have much to say
But he can spit further than any punk
So nobody gets in his way.
He knows his generation like he knows his ABC
He's a kind of kid that don't get invited back for a Sunday tea
He's a face in the mirror he'll make you a fight.
But he's alright.
He's breaking out of nowhere
He's breaking all the rules
He's got a passion for the fashion
He's freezing all the the cools
He knows that you don't have to be that good,
to be a real bad cat
He's built with speed,
guaranteed to show you where it's at
He's blowing all the speakers making his own noise.
One of the boys.
(Guitar solo)
You know he used to work in this factory
Until the big boss said "that's enough"
So he threw down his hammer and he picked up his coat
And he told the boss to get,
Fff-f-frustration with the nation
Because the news is always bad
Life on the dole ain't no good for your soul
It's enough to drive a poor kid mad
So who's going to put him down for making his own noise.
Everybody knows down Ladbrook Grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Pick up your guitar and play
Then the police come and says move along
So you move along all day
I'm a one man band
Nobody cares or understands
Is there anybody out there who could lend a hand
To my one man band
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
my my I must be getting so thin
Soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half a crown in
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
I can play you any song you chose
To cheer up the life you lead
Oh, I'm a one man band
Nobody sees nor understands
Is there anybody out there who could lend a hand
To my one man band
And oh, oh, oh look at the rain falling
Oh, oh, oh look at the rain
Nobody hears the minstrel boy
As he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him disappear
And nobody sees him go
So hey there mister don't look so sad
Don't feel so ill at ease
I can play you any song you chose
To cheer up the life you lead
Oh, I'm a one man band
Nobody sees nor understands
Is there anybody out there who could lend me a hand
To my one man band
Oh, I'm a one man band
Nobody cares nor understands
Is there anybody here who could lend a hand
To my one man band
I'm a one man band, I'm a one man band
Ooo one man band, ooh I'm a one man band
Oh, I'm a one man band

Don't wake me up
If I should be dreaming
I don't want to miss one minute of this dream.
Don't worry now
Cause your not dreaming
I'll love you always where ever you'll be.
Oceans away
Go where you may
And love will be with you
Oceans away
And love will be with you
Oceans away
The night is cold
But day is certain
No twilight zone can last very long
Darkness my friend I'll hide in your curtain
If your not here with me please let me dream on.
Oceans away
Go where you may
But love will be with you
Oceans away
Love will be with you
Oceans away
Oceans away
Go where you may
But love will be with you

Load up your bullets
Shot me through the head
Gasp from where your standing
You might think I'm dead
When I hit the ground
Look at me bleed
Old man your sympathy is something I don't need
My time is gonna come (Yea)
My time is gonna come (Yea)
I walk from the shadows, and I walk in the sun
My time is gonna come (Yea)
My time is gonna come (Yea)
Somewhere is paradise and I found me some.
Oh yea
You can laugh at me now
Sticker on your face
Theirs always someone bigger, trying to take my place
You can go to sleep
Be madam Dan
Wakeup tomorrow find my gun is at your head
My time is gonna come (Yea)

I walk from the shadows, and I walk in the sun
My time is gonna come (Yea)
My time is gonna come (Yea)
Somewhere is paradise and I found me some.
Oh yea

I say something nice
Give you a heart attack
I smile to your face. then I stab you in the back
When I turn away
Your poison in my tea
That won't kill me boy taste like sugar in me.
My time is gonna come (Yea)
My time is gonna come (Yea)
I walk from the shadows, and I walk in the sun
My time is gonna come (Yea)
My time is gonna come (Yea)

Is this a waking dream nothing seems real
Although you're far away from me, I feel you still
Down a dark and dusty road miles away from home
Can you hear me calling you, you're not alone
Then your voice rings in my ear just like a vision
Suddenly your face appears
I feel the miracle of love
Lifting me up each and every day
Like a beacon in the night
Your guiding light shows me the way
Through the best and worst of times you've stood right by me
My comfort and protection in adversity
And I don't know how to thank you for these
Golden days we've known
I guess I'll just have to love you more than I've ever done
While your voice rings in my ear
And out of the darkness
Suddenly your face appears
I feel the miracle of love
Lifting me up each and every day
Like a beacon in the night
Your guiding light shows me the way
And it keeps on getting better
As we walk these steps in time together
Then off in the distance
Your voice rings in my ear
And just like a vision
Suddenly I feel you near
I feel the miracle of love
Lifting me up each and every day
Like a beacon in the night
(Steve G Swindells)
Random faces populate dark of pockets of my brain,
lonely tortured heroes with dark eyes all full of pain.
People crying out for blood to keep them entertained,
I can't hold back no more I can't keep anything contained.
I'm captured, excited, so scared I'm sinking.
The silence, I'm frightened, I can't help thinking of those
martyrs and madmen, they were rebels in their day.
And the world made them sad men, because it wouldn't go away.
Martyrs and madmen, oh martyrs and madmen.
Now I'm tempted by the game, I'm thrown into the ring.
And if I turn out like they did I must do everything
to stop myself from turning into someone I don't know,
sitting in some hotel room with fires down below.
I'm taking my fight there, I see them screaming
I'm waking, from nightmares, I can't help dreaming
of those martyrs and madmen, they were rebels in their day.
And the world made them sad men, because it wouldn't go away.
Martyrs and madmen, martyrs and madmen.
There's no escaping alcohol, or needles, straws and spoons.
The only saving grace is someone breaking their cocoon.
Are they destined to die lonely, is it all some master plan,
to hope that in some twenty years someone might understand?
Oh, martyrs and madmen, Oh, martyrs and madmen...
I'm captured, exited, so scared I'm sinking.
The silence, I'm frightened, I can't help thinking of those
martyrs and madmen, they were rebels in their day.
And the world made them sad men, because it wouldn't go away.
Martyrs and madmen.
(Liszt / Lyrics: Daltrey)
Ooh Love Ooh Love as long as love is Young
As long as love is young
Ooh Love, Ooh Love
As long as life shall last
As Long as Life shall last
The hour will come when we shall weep
On thoughts of love and pleasures past
The hour will come when we shall weep on pleasures past.
Ooh love, in love our innocence is sharing
As long as love is true
In love in love our innocence will last
Our innocent will last as sure my heart in sacred hours
Providing you my secret quest.
Ooh love sweet love as long as love is young
As long as life shall last
Ooh love sweet love as long as love is young
As cold as it seems
When truth brings you heartache
It?s so hard to believe
When love hits the wall
Love is
My faith in you
When it could have ended
And your trust in me
Love is
Everything I need to live
Love is
Everything that we forgive
Love is
Every crime of passion
That?s what love is
Where would I go?
What would I do?
What would it mean?
To meet a perfect stranger
Why do we hurt?
Who draws the line?
When do we learn to look inside?
What love is
So many years
You can?t take for granted
You can?t take away
All the things you are
Together so long
I know where my heart is
Somewhere in me
(Oh yes)
I?ll find a way to show
Love is
Every lesson we have learned
Love is
Every soft unspoken word
Love is
Every crime of passion
That?s what love is
Where would I go?
What would I do?
What would it mean?
To meet a perfect stranger
Why do we hurt?
Who draws the line?
When do we learn to look inside?
Everything I need to live
Love is
Everything that we forgive
Love is
Every crime of passion
That?s what love is
Love is
Every lesson we have learned
Love is
Every soft unspoken word
Love is
Every crime of passion

Well I saw you on the avenue
And as usual you're with someone new
I guess there's nothing left for me to do but turn away
I'm growing tired of all your alibis
There ain't one you can justify
I ain't gonna take it anymore and I'll tell you why
You think it doesn't show I figure let me go
If you're gonna let me down let me down easy
It's time you got it straight you know it's hard to take
If you're gonna let me down let me down easy
We've been going through some changes
And I'm well aware of all the dangers
Sometimes you look at me so strange and it leaves me cold
But now you've gone and blown your covers
I know all about your temporary lovers
I ain't taking it another day and that's for sure
You think it doesn't show I figure let me go
If you're gonna let me down let me down easy
It's time you got it straight you know it's hard to take
If you're gonna let me down let me down easy
Oh when I look at you now
I can't believe you're leaving
All those years and you've got nothing to say
Turn around and walk away
You think it doesn't show I figure let me go
If you're gonna let me down let me down easy
It's time you got it straight you know it's hard to take
If you're gonna let me down let me down easy
You think it doesn't show I figure let me go
If you're gonna let me down let me down easy
It's time you got it straight you know it's hard to take
Leon came along
To see me on the road
He took the time to come backstage
And make himself known
And although we'd never been real close
As friends we'd shared some times
Worked the clubs, once traveled music
Together for a while
Leon, you've been away too long
The world ain't still the way it used to be
Leon, you've been away too long
To turn your back, now, on your family
Tomorrow I'll be in Amsterdam
He smiled and shook my hand
Wished me all success
And I said try to understand
"But I envy you", he said
And I tried to share his loss
Told him how the road
Was still as tough as it was
Leon, you're been away too long
The world ain't still the way it used to be
Leon, you've been away too long
To turn your back, now, on your family
My plane flew into Amsterdam
And lying in my room
I heard the news how Leon died
That very afternoon
I telephoned my flowers
With some words I hoped were kind
With our backstage conversation
Still burning in my mind
Leon, you've been away too long
The world ain't still the way it used to be
Leon, you've been away too long

Where do you go in the dead of night
Use your body as a weapon when you get a girl in sight
In the night air Is there anybody out there?
Shadows on the ceiling, shadows on the wall
Beating in my heart if there's anyone at all
Who is out there Is there anybody out there?
I-I-I feel You seem so near to me
What do you do in the light of the moon
You're living with your dreams, 'cause it's gonna happen soon
In the cool air Is there anybody out there?
Pounding in the night, pounding in your head
Something's telling you that there's something left unsaid
Who is out there Is there anybody out there?
I-I-I feel You seem so near to me
Is there anybody out there who is waiting for me?
Is there anybody out there I've gotta see?
Well, what am I thinking, what did I say?
Is there anybody out there to take me away?
What am I hoping, can it be true
Is there anybody out there? Someone. . . like you.
What do you do when the daylight breaks?
you still haven't found him whatever it takes
In the dawn air Is there anybody out there?
Slipping and sliding, don't know where to go
Must be something wrong here, tell me if you know
Imagine a man
Not a child in any remote
But a plain man tied up in lies
Imagine the son
Running out as he struts
Parading and fading ignoring his wife
Imagine a road
So long looking back
But you can't really see where it began to run out
Imagine a love
So large and so smooth
With against it all manners of that
And you will see the end
You will see the end
Oh lord
Imagine events
That occur everyday
Like a shooting or raping
Or a simple act of deceit
Imagine a fence
Around you as high as prudential
Cast two shadow's who can't see or feel
Imagine a girl
With long flowing hair
And her body all trouble, perfection and truth
Imagine a past
That you wish you had lived
Full of heroes and villain's and fools
And you will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
Imagine a man
Not a child of any remote
But a man of today
Feeling new
Imagine a soul
So old and its broken
And you know
Your invention

Maybe
Every little thing, can bring you close to tears
And maybe
Your every little dream has faded with the years
But don't let your tear drops blind you
Cause I'm walking right behind you now
I was born to sing your song
And if sometimes the tune sounds wrong
I'll change it, rearrange it all.
I was made to write your book
Say the words that lovers, took away
I was born to sing your song.
Maybe
You where living all alone
And memories, stole your time
And maybe
All your summer days were gone
And winter, chilled your mind
Nights you cried with no one near you
But baby I'm staying near you now.
Cause I was born to sing your song
And if sometimes the tune sounds wrong
I'm gonna change it, rearrange, it all.
I was made to write your book
Say the words that lovers, took away
I was born to sing your song.
I was made to write your book
To say the words that lovers, took away
Oh I was born
I was born to sing your song
I was born to sing your song
I was born, to sing your song
To sing your song
I was born, to sing your song
I paid all my dues
So I picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
Oh, I was just a boy
I didn't no how to play
Worked hard and failed
Now all I can say is
I threw it all away
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Sail away, sail away
Ooh, I know better now
I know better now
Giving it all away
Ooh, I know better now
I know better now
I've given it all away
Went out in the world
Too much for my nerves
Only myself to blame
Oh, I was just a boy
Nobody else to blame
I've done all I can
Now it's out of my hands
Stand on my head and say
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Sail away, sail away
Ooh, I know better now
I know better now
Giving it all away
Ooh, I know better now
I know better now

You ain't doing nothing when you're walking in the rain
Your energy is running like the water down the drain
Fighting is exciting, making everything so hard
And every foot you run you want to turn into a yard
You ain't doing nothing when you're leaning on a bar
But your mind is making pictures of the person that you are
Feel the heartbeat of the city as it pounds inside your head
You've got danger in your eyes, you want a stranger in your bed
Heartbeat of the city, pounding in your head
You've got danger in your eyes, you want a stranger in your bed
Desperation angels waiting, leaning on the walls
Watching all the workers as they sweat it on the floor
Someone makes an entrance and the cat's eyes turn to green
Asking burning questions, you pretend it's all a dream
You ain't doing nothing when you're staring into space
In the mirror someone's looking with it written on your face
Don't slow down you mustn't slow down
Hearts beat faster in the center of town
Don't get scared You mustn't get scared
There's danger everywhere
The voice brings back memories
I'd rather forget that other side of life
In the shadows of the blue room
Those were free and easy times
We were never far behind
The innocence abused
With every hall we played
Unaware of the masquerade
Don't talk to strangers
Don't make any sudden moves
I sense a danger
In running out on you
I gave it all away
Victims of our youth
Afraid of darkness
So I'm running back to you
I'm running back to you
The darkest regions of a writer's heart
Gave us songs that tore the world apart
In the shadows of a blue room
It promised fame and opened doors
Still it left me wanting more
Beckoned to me from the wings
Showed me everything
Took me from the safety of your arms
Don't talk to strangers
Don't make any sudden moves
I sense a danger
In running out on you
I gave it all away
Victims of our youth
Afraid of darkness
So I'm running back to you
I'm running back to you
Don't talk to strangers
Don't make any sudden moves
I sense a danger
In running out on you
I gave it all away
Victims of our youth
Afraid of darkness
So I'm running back to you
Don't talk to strangers
Don't make any sudden moves
I sense a danger
In running out on you
I gave it all away
Victims of our youth
Afraid of darkness
So I'm running back to you
I'm running back to you
Don't talk to strangers
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to stop myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
Friday's waiting at the gates of heaven
The weekend starts at seven
We get forty-eight hours of fun
For five days working on the line
For five days
Time to change the look on my face
I?m waiting for the starter?s gun
Maybe feeling tired
Maybe feeling empty
Maybe living on your own
You know ?round about seven on a Friday night
Forget about your worries, gonna be alright
Everybody?s heading for those days of light
Hot and heavy night?s of true love ways
Tomorrow these will be the good old days
Everybody?s working for those days of light
Monday's waiting for the week to start up
Back to work and feeling hard up
Things gonna change some day
So dream on everybody?s free to dream on
Work hard, love, well, live long
There?s really not a better way
So live it all you can
Even when it hurts you
Got to give it all you?re got
And know
Everybody?s putting on a braver face
Everyone?s running in the same race
Everybody?s working for those days of light
Everyone?s looking for the same release
Everybody?s hoping for a mind of peace
Everyone?s working for those days of light
?Round about seven on a Friday night
Forget about your worries, gonna be alright
Everybody?s working for those days of light
Hot and heavy nights of true love ways
Tomorrow these will be the good old days
Everybody?s heading for those days of light
Everybody?s putting on a braver face
We?re all running in the same race
Everybody?s working got to keep on
The old boys drinkin?
Telling the stories
?Bout the way it used to be
A steel string box
Was every blues man?s women
Everybody knew Lucille
From the Delta to the chain gang
I was born to the rhythm
Raised on volume
Wired to a different sound
Plain damn reckless till three in the morning
Dreaming of the place I?d found
When the sugar tastes a little sweeter
Ain?t nothing meaner
Then the old boy howling on his guitar alone
Telling the story ?bout the blue man?s road
Well he taught me everything I know
We all knew that blues man?s road
That?s why they call this thing rock and roll
We were white city slip kids playing in
The streets
The songs of the black man?s band
With our tail drags dragging Mojo?s working
Got the blast from the big boss man
Where the sugar tastes a little sweeter
Ain?t nothing meaner
Then the old man howling on his guitar alone
Telling the story ?bout the blue man?s road
He taught me everything that I?ve ever known
We all knew that blues man?s road
That?s why they call this damn thing rock and roll
The story ?bout the blue man?s road
Taught me everything I know
Yea we all knew that blues man?s road
(Steve Swindells)
The psychopath never takes a bath
Cause he'll wash away his hate.
And we crowd and bark
In the damp and dark,
as old Scrooge comes through the gate.
They whisper in the hall,
and he rattles at the door,
as a smile behind the blind.
Because I'm leaving soon
You can keep your dirty room,
and your dirty screwed up mind.
Don't pop in, It's a deadly sin,
if your living in fear of Hell.
Hearts beat fast, as he stops to crash,
hear the stories he has to tell.
You can try to frighten me
You can think whatever you like
You can try to better me
Cause I'm coiled and ready to strike.
All your life you've toed the line
Never trieved and never resisted
And now your running out of time
All you ever feel is bitter and twisted.
Bitter
Twisted
Bitter
Twisted twisted
Bitter
Twisted
Bitter
Twisted twisted.
The businessman puts a shaky hand
through a space beneath the wall.
(Bitter twisted)
Where a lonely queen is a sex machine,
just to answer natures call.
(Bitter twisted)
The first mans wife holds a kitchen knife,
but she can't stand the site of blood.
(Bitter twisted)
So she takes her pills
And he's always ill
And they both dream of super studs.
Getting off on guilty minds
Turning on to what's not aloud
Nothing real or nothing kind
Tell me how you'll ever feel proud.
All your life you've lived a lie
All closed up the way you existed
Now your running out of time
All you ever feel is bitter and twisted.
Bitter
Twisted
Bitter
Twisted twisted
Bitter
Twisted
Bitter
Twisted twisted.
Bitter (Bitter)
Twisted (Twisted)
Bitter (Bitter)
Before the gods read my lifelong sentence
Before I get my share, before I walk alone
Before they take away my last temptation
Before my heart's deprived, before they call my name
On the back fences of my dream line
I never lost my mind, I gave it all I had
To get away with the whole damn big bang
For the right reasons, for what you can't take back
Until the drums stop beating
Until the crossroads burn out
I ain't a man until I've done it all
Before my time is up, I'll hang my name
On every trial I'm due for
And even if I can't get justice
I'll take you down to hell
Before my time is up, I'll leave no stone unturned
I won't regret my actions
And even if my last words fail me
I'll be a better man before my time is up
I believe that the road goes somewhere
Beyond the empty eyes, beyond the wasted land
When it all fades away to nothing
I wanna know I tried to take a real hard stand
I gotta laugh at the whole damn big bang
I've got to cry sometimes, got to love somebody
Before they read my lifelong sentence
Before I get my share, before I go alone
Until the drums stop beating
To where the crossroads burn out
I ain't a man until I've done it all
Before my time is up, I'll hang my name
On every trial I'm due for
And even if I can't get justice
I'll take you down to hell
Before my time is up, I'll leave no stone unturned
I won't regret my actions
Even if my last words fail me
I'll be a better man before my time is
Time is
Time is up
Even if my last words fail me
I'll be a better man
Before my time is
They ran through hills and forest
As two under a spell
He was a city boy, Floyd the outlaw
And she thought she new him well
Long after that great summer
When she first came into her fame
And the avenger from Oklahoma
Was added to her name, the avenger she became
Well, they call her avenging Annie
The avenger of womanhood
She spends her whole life telling lies
These on a mess and over good
She'll take all these spoilt young hippies
Running around playing games
They're surrounding your bed, she'll blow your head
She'll put you through a change.
What you've done to others
She'll do unto you
Then she met her sensitive outlaw
He was the best thing she ever did seen
She was to be his wife for the rest of her life
But she was so blind she could never had seen, no
So she joined up with her outlaw
And headed for California
He treated her worse than she'd ever imagined
He didn't say he didn't want her around
He kept it up so long, she couldn't be strong
He run her right into the ground
After five long years
He picked her up and slapped her down
Then she told her friends about him
They all were on her side
But she could see through the haze he looked so pale
She put her head right down and she cried
For her poor lover
She cried like a mother for her poor lover
And now she lives on a mountain top
And she's almost thirty-five
And she's found her peace and found her release
Happy just to be alive
And she might go back to her Floyd
If she thinks it's the thing to do
He gave up murder and theft after she left
And you know she still loves him to
Just like a worn out shoe
Just like a worn out shoe
Just like a worn out shoe
Just like a worn out shoe
Just like a worn out shoe
Just like a worn out shoe
Just like a worn out shoe
Well, they call her avenging Annie
The avenger of womanhood
She spends her whole life telling lies
When the lights are down and there's no one there
You can hear the sound of the rockin' chair
Rocking in the dark, feel it in the air
Searching for the spark of love affair
The world keeps on turning, every night and every day
The fire keeps on burning calling to say
I'm alone in the night, the silence in the shadows, alone in the night
A heart where no one goes, alone in the night
A sprint that the wind blows, alone in the night
The face sitting in the window, I'm alone in the night
When the lights go down on another day
Darkness all around as the angels play
Watch the falling stars as they cross the sky
They're so near, so far, they're the tears I cry
I hear the voices calling of lovers in the night
I feel the rain is falling blinded by light
I'm alone in the night, the silence in the shadows, alone in the night
A heart where no one goes, alone in the night
A sprint that the wind blows, alone in the night
After the fire, the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
After the fire, the fire still burns
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
And then the sound of a breaking window
And the scream of a tire
And then the sound of a distant gun
And the cry of a hungry child
The night is hot but nothing is gonna stop
This gang going wild
After the fire, the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smolder but the soul always yearns
After the fire, the fire still burns
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white
There ain't no color in memories
He rode his brother's Harley across the TV
While I was laughing at Dom De Luise
Now I'm cycling all my video tapes
And I'm crying and I'm joking
I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking
I've gotta stop smoking
After the fire, the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
After the fire, the fire still burns
Raging through the pain
Blackening the promises the tears and the rain
The fire sill burn till the wind begins to turn
And it all begins again
After the fire, the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
After the fire, the fire still burns, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smolder and the soul always yearns
After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns
How long must I sit around waiting you
Think of all the heartache You been putting me through
You must have a soul But it dont show
Come on and love me
Let me know
Come and get your love (Get your love)Come and get your love (Get your love)Come and get your love (Get your love)Come and get your love (Get your love)Come and get your love, before I give it away (Come and get it)You're a devil witch
And I'm hypnotized
But woman I could see right through your eyes
Here's something for you(I Can't)Take it from me
Why dont you love me? Or set me free
Or come and get your love (Get your love)Come and get your love (Get your love)Come and get your love (Get your love)Come and get your love (Get your love)Come and get your love before I give it away(Come and get it)(Come on baby, get your love)(Come on baby, get your love)(Come on baby, get your love)(Come on baby, get your love)(Come on baby, get your love)(Come on baby, get your love)I've been holding on To your love for so long
Could be I would tie you up
The face I admire
So why dont you say
Just go away
You - you're wasting my time
We're making music we're doing fine
Then a slap in the face takes me back to the starting line
You - your wasting my life
You can't lose what you've already lost
Your arms are open but your legs are crossed
Save me - save me
I'm going down for the third time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me my next line
Too hot for me to handle
So cold I'm getting nowhere
Pinch me to see if I'm sleeping
Maybe it's only a nightmare
You - why did it have to be you?
Of all those girls I had to choose
You win and I lose
You - you with the poisonous eyes
One look and I'm hooked
One touch and my goose is cooked
Save me - save me
I'm going down for the third time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me a life line
Too late to change partners
Too late you've got no chance
Too late to change partners
Too late to say I don't dance
You - there's a name for girls like you
You lead me on like a lamb to the slaughter
Then you act like a fish out of water
You - there's a name for girls like you
You've coming on like a steam train
Then you blow me away just like a hurricane
Save me - save me
I'm going down for the last time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me a lifeline
Save me I'm falling
From the top of the page to the next line
Save me I'm burning
From tips of my toes to my hairline
Too hot for me to handle
So cold I'm getting nowhere
Pinch me to see if I'm sleeping
Free me
Can't you hear that's what I say
Free me
Anyhow or anyway
I hear a voice
Call in the night
Push on the brain
Fades with the light
And I've seen a face
With so many eyes
Out in the words
Know there lies
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Free me, free me
Inside I'm bleeding, can't you see
Free me
From all this pain and misery
I am a flame
But he held the fire
Call me a fool
Don't call me a liar
Take me to hell
And let me stay
Get back some prize
Well, I have to pay
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Free me
I lie awake
Burning inside
No where to run
And no where to hide
Old lady time
She's no friend to me
I feel her change
And she holds the key
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Can't you hear me say
Free me, free me
Can't you hear that's what I say
Free me
The Hawker:
You talk about your woman,
I wish you could see mine.
You talk about your woman,
I wish you could see mine.
Every time she starts to lovin'
She brings eyesight to the blind.
You know her daddy gave her magic,
I can tell by the way she walks.
Her daddy gave her magic,
I can tell by the way she walks.
Everytime she start to shakin'
The dumb begin to talk.
She's got the power to heal you, never fear!
She's got the power to heal you, never fear!
Just a word from her lips
Oh well a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
You know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people they'd step back
When a young man walked by
But you know nowadays
It's the old man,
He's got all the money
And a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said nothing
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'
Everybody!
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'
He got nothin'
Nothin'
Take it easy on the young man
They ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said they ain't got nothin'!
