I can see that look that sends me where
you try to move in closer if you dare.
So I will sit and play my waiting game.
And for a while I know you'll do the same.
Oh No!
Watches like an eagle from its tree,
then like a bird of prey she captured me.
But I am older and more wise than you.
Bird of prey - straight into me you fool.
Oh No!
Now every time I try to set her free - Yeah! Ooh!
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me - Ah!
But if I knew she didn't want to stay - Yeah! Ooh Ah!
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey - Ooh Ah!
When the war is over
Got to get away
Pack my bags to
No place in no time no day
You and I, we used
Each other's shoulder
Still so young
But somehow so much older
How can I go home
And not get blown away
Ain't nobody gonna
Steal this heart away
When the war is over
Got to start again
Try to hold a trace of
What it was back then
You and I, we shared
Each other's stories
Just a page that's
Lost in all its glory
How can I go home
And not get blown away
You and I had our sights
Set on something
Hope this doesn't mean
Our days are numbered
I've got plans for more
Than a wanted man
All around is chaos and madness
Can't help feeling
Nothing more than sadness
Only choice to face it
The best I can
Ain't nobody gonna
Steal this heart away
And not get blown away ...
For many years I felt like a man
Feeling his way through darkness
This priceless treasure
For which I've searched
Appeared to me nothing more
Than a mirage in the sea
But when the vision faded
From this struggle and dream
Suddenly my illusion is diarry
I've now discovered what's reality
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
I've found you
Even if you're only
Even if you're only
Even if you're only
Destined for a while
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
I've found you
Even if you're only
Destined for a while
I'll be both most impressions
And I arrive this with a smile
As the picture book shows Stanley
Standing at the source of the Nile
I wish you'd stop and
Give a helping hand
For I guess I'm only half a man
I feel the only way for me to leave
Is just to give you
Everything I can give
‘Cause without you, without you
What can I do
I will give you all the love I have
Just to know you stop me
Being so sad
I hope you won't think
So badly of me
‘Cause I had to tell you
This could break myself in
Being helpless is a habit of mine
No one else can understand
You are the one to
Help me to survive
If you're any friend of mine
Yesterday you gave a helping hand
To some one you'll
Never understand
Though I tried to tell you of this way
You said I had nothing
Constructive to say
But without you, without you
What can I do ...
Every day I have to look to the sun
To see where it was that
I have come from
I have a feeling that
There must be a time
When I'll get a chance to go home
'Cause I'm so tired
Of being here alone
But I'm just a traveller in time
Trying so hard to pay for my crime
If I could go back
The same way I got here
And see the people that
I once held so near
I'd do my best to
Find an answer for you
But first I must wait till I'm set free
And I don't know
How long that's gonna be
'Cause I'm a man with
A whole lot on his mind
Just out there somewhere
Travelling in time
Travelling in time
I've tried for so long to find
Some way of helping mankind
(LOVE AWARENESS)
Dancing with danger and
Tears in my eyes
Love ain't no stranger
So many goodbyes
Words in the distance
Are calling me
Just when I thought
I could make a a new start
Here comes another fire
Burning in my heart
Words in the distance
Are calling me
And to get to heaven
You gotta go through hell
I cut my heart on the wishing well
You know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
You know that I'm crazy, just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
My senses burning from
The heat of your skin
Deeper than deep
I feel you movin' in, oh
Words in the distance
Are calling me
You know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you, well
You know that I'm crazy, just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
I love you
I hold this moment of magic
I hold it in my hand
A single moment of heaven
Don't you know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you, yeah
You know that I'm crazy, just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
Don't you know I love you baby
Can't you feel it in my heart, yeah
And I don't know what to say, no
Well I've got a fire in my soul
I don't know which way to go
Or I don't know what to do, no
I was always the one
Who did the thinkin'
It was me, I'm sorry
I who made the plans
There was never a thought
We might do somethin' between us
It's so clear I think
I'm beginning to understand
I was the one who had to
Lay it out and pay it out
I would work all night
Even though I wanted to
Play out and stay out
Now it's your turn to remember
And it's your turn
To try to understand
But you never would, would you?
When the time came
For stayin' together
You refused to even
Talk about for ever
It was easy telling me
You love me
And I was a little late in
Finding out the truth
The rule of love was there
You had to bend it
Now the damage is done
It's impossible to mend it
I can't mend it
Now it's your turn to remember
It's your turn to feel a little pain
I feel a little better
Talkin' about her
Yet her memory's not good for me
The skies are not so grey now
I've found a new tune to play now
It's a better song
It'll be followin' on
And when the time came
For stayin' together
You refused to even
Talk about for ever
It was easy telling me
You love me
And I was a little late in
Finding out the truth
The rule of love was there
But you had to bend it
Now the damage is done
It's impossible to mend it
You know I can't mend it
Come on babe
It's your turn to remember
Your turn to feel a little pain
Don't take life for granted
Cause you know that
Life wont grant you back
The feelings on the love
That you once had
Youve taken me for granted
Cause you know
Im a lover just like you
And I'll do anything
You want me to
Who needs me?
Who needs me now?
Youll find someone
How you'll find one
Who needs me?
Who needs me now?
Youll find another but no better
You can't argue with me now
I needed you and
You did not know how
Don't let go of something
That is good when
Ill tell you it's bad
Let em hear the story
Make em sad
And if the price of love
Can cost you less than
When it first began
I guess that you wont
Find a better man
Wake up! Set your sights! For never shall we fail.
Stand up for your rights and justice will prevail.
You're listening through endless nights
and decision is your goal.
So wake up! Set your sights! For the time is right for your role.
Yeah - for your role.
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Set your sights!
Never, never, never shall we fail.
Stand up, stand up, stand up for your rights.
Justice, justice, justice will prevail.
There in the morning, flying over the hills.
While men are yawning they are crushed by our wheels.
Never have I witnessed people in fear.
Not like today, not in many a year.
Go kill another, there are more close behind.
No screams of mother, are you out of your mind?
Though they are shattered they just don't seem to yield.
Bodies are scattered in all parts of the field.
Oh No! Did I tell you what would happen if you tried?
"Oh God, stop this killing!" said a young man before he died.
Wake up! Set your sights! For never shall we fail.

If you're looking for a place
You can fly together
And you're really afraid of
What you're leaving behind
Take the easiest road
But take care my brother
For you'll never find peace
With a troubled mind
Far better to love each other
Than to worry so deeply
€˜Bout the place you€™re in
And far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love
You'll never have again
Time's as fickle as
The sky in winter
And two hearts always
Were better than one
Love has the wings
Of a tireless angel
She'll stay beside you
Till the day is done
La la la la la ...
You€™ll never have again
No no no, never again
You€™ll never have again
(MOVING TO A FANTASY WORLD)
Won't you take
A chance my brother
Follow me to a time of revelation
Can't you see that
Destiny will take a turn
And show you
There's no need to fight
'Cause you know it's right
And I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just begun
You won't need to ask forgiveness
What you find
Will be your inspiration
You don't have to pray for glory
All is equal, no more pain
You know it's true, it's up to you
'Cause I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just begun
Over the bridge
Where you start to believe
Down at the edge of the rainbow
Dark is the night
But we've seen another time
Follow the light of the shadow
Right or wrong, there is no reason
There will be no hidden destination
With the strength that you discover
You can show the way
How it was meant to be
For all to see
'Cause I finally know
What I'm knowing
I finally see where I'm going
Now our journey's only just begun
I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you
To take this pain away
So many tears ago
You turned and walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew better
I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to call it quits
But don't you let her
Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me
Think it over
Don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over
Why don't you think it over
Forgetting you is out
I ain't givin' in
The fuss was down to you
But it's not over
You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
I have to make you see
That it's not over
Why don't you think about it, babe
I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you
To take this pain away
So many tears ago
You turned and walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew better
I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to call it quits
But don't you dare her
Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me
Think it over
Don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over
Forgetting you is out
I ain't giving in
The fuss was down you
But its' not over
You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
You have to make scene
But it's not over
Well, think it over, babe
Oh, they're moving in again
Hidden by the shadows
And the wind
But we'll just wait awhile and then
We'll show 'em all that
This time we ain't giving in
Without a care they
Sweep aside our dreams
To try and make way for their own
No more should we surrender
To their schemes
It's time to stand and
Show 'em we are not alone
Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
And it's time to use it, use it
Nature gave us colour
Day and night
So if you really got a reason
Then you better be right
The seasons of the year
Still are spring and fall
But there's nothing in the world
That's says it's right to fight
Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
Why don€™t we use it
Come on and use it
Why don€™t we use it
Come on and use it
La la la la la ...
We told our tales as we sat under
Morning's sleepy sky
With all the colours of
The sunrise shining in our eyes
One, then another
With a story of yesterday's life
Or of a lover who had
Gone in a moment of strife
No thought of sleep ever dwells
Upon the wise man's mind
Some task or audience
Stealing every moment of his time
Thus we have learned to live
While mortal men
Stand waiting to die
How can we do what must be done
In just one short life
And if you ask
Then you must know
If you still doubt
You should be told
It was not we
That made it so
It was by those
Who went before
And there you sit
Tomorrow's child
So full of love
So full of life
But you must rise
To meet the day
Lest you become another tale
Another tale ...
I'll see you at sundown
You can't back out now
The news is all over town
I'll see you at sundown
And they can put one of us
In a hole in the ground
Now it's three in the afternoon
And I'm frightened to death
When you're in the saloon
I wonder if he feels the same
For whoever wins there's still
The cowboy to blame
Sundown, give me some strength
I know I can't go it alone
Sundown, give me your strength
Give me a chance to go home
To go home
Three in the afternoon
And I'm frightened to death
When you're in the saloon
I hear the reverend feels the sin
For whoever wins there's still
Wouldn't you like to take this magic potion with me?
On a trip to a cosmic playground far beyond?
She understands, she's been there before.
It's in her hands to find the door.
Sweet Lorraine, let the party carry on.
You and I will swim the sea.
Sweet Lorraine, let the party carry on.
You and I can feel the breeze.
There is no time, no wealth, only I surround you.
The fortune of this guide is simply sincerity.
She understands, 'cause she's been there before.
It's in her hands to find the door. So
Sweet Lorraine, let the party carry on.
You and I will swim the sea.
Sweet Lorraine, let the party carry on.
You and I can feel the breeze.
(Repeat)
Sweet Lorraine Sweet Lorraine
SWEET FREEDOM
As you look around you do you like what you see?
Though it sometimes makes you lonely, do you like being free?
And are you sure you'll be OK without my company?
I just want you to be happy even if it's not with me.
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
Will the line between all this and my love ever meet?
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
What I'm really trying to say is that I will be around
should you find that after all you can't get by with what you've found.
Oh, it wasn't just my heart you took and tossed into the sea,
though it's hard to find the words I need I guess it was me.
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
Will the line between all this and my love ever meet?
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
Will the line between all this and my love ever gonna meet?
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
I didn't see you standing there
You took me by surprise
In your long silk dress
And those deep brown eyes
I was captured by your smile
But when fate put out it's hand
You're walking to your love
How was I to resist
The passion and the kiss
We raised the future alone
She stole my body and soul
With a heart next to mine
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss
She said
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Tonight we live forever
One heart, one soul
On the edge of the world
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Feels like we died together
In each others arms
On the edge of the world
When she touched me so warm
And so was her body
A kiss she gave to me
The name she said to pain and pleasure
Time my soul rescue me
But I know I'd be here on my own
As soon as the sun would rise
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss
I've dreamed of a place I know
With the shadows of my past
Still remain
You're buried in the midst of time
For always you'll be the sun that shines
Shines on me
Goodnight, goodnight
It's alright, it's not wrong
To sometimes feel
You're just hanging on
On those days when
Your feelings are low
Don't hold back
Just let those feelings show
If you want my time and devotion
You've got to give me
Some of your emotion
It's not too much, too much to ask
If you want this love to last
Born with open eyes
But you're blinded by confusion
Born with strength
Let's do it step by step
Into tomorrow
We can make it if we try
Just talk to me, walk with me
There's no reason why
Let's do it step by step
Into tomorrow with our open eyes
So come on talk to me
Just walk with me
You can do it if you try
One step, one step at a time
One heart beatin' with mine
Nothing gained, nothing ventured
Nothing won, no risk, no loss
In this world of indecisions
There's a bridge we all must cross
Born with open eyes
But you're blinded by confusion
Born with strength
He's the son of the bitch
He's the son of a fool
Sign of the times
No exception he's the rule
He's down on his luck
He's down on his knees
Cut really deep
He knows how to bleed
He's the son of the dog
You'll see him run with the pack
He won't look you in the eyes
He'll stab you in the back
The son of the dog
Only runs with the pack
He'll take your life
He won't look back
Son of a - he's a son of a bitch
He's a son of a -
He's a son of a bitch
Hear the woman of the streets
She never learned how to cry
She'll spread her wings
She'll never fly
Woman of the night
She hangs like a bat
She'll scratch at your eyes
Fight like a cat
Hear the lost, hear the lonely
Hear the fool, that won't get to see
Hear the lost, hear the lonely
And don't, don't pity me
Son of the bitch
He's a son of a -
Oh, the son of a bitch
He's the son of the poor
The son of the rich
The son of the dog
The son of the bitch
Woman of the night
Hangs like a bat
She'll scratch at your eyes
She fights like a cat
He's the son of the bitch
He's the son of a fool
A sign of the times
No exception he's the rule
Down on his luck
Down on his knees
Cut really deep
So he knows how to bleed
He's a sign of the times
He's the son of a -
Son of a ... bitch
The son of a bitch
Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Stand up, sit down
Don't turn around
Don't talk and don't smoke
Don't laugh, no joke
Too many rules, too many fools
Gonna raise it to the ground
We're gonna get high
Light up the sky
Gonna burn it down
Yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full
Speak up or shut up
Backs to the wall
Stand in line, take it outside
See the soldiers march in time
Rollin' out of bed, fallin' on my head
I think I'll pull the pin
Shape up, or ship out
Your hair's too long
Yes sir, no sir, the same old song
Stay after time and
Learn all your lines
Or write 'em out a thousand times
I heard what you said
Bells in my head
I think I'll pull the pin
There's gonna be a party tonight
People gonna come from miles
There's gonna be a fire here tonight
Gonna dance with the devil
Till the dawn
Dance with the devil till the dawn
Stand up, sit down
Don't turn around
Don't talk, don't smoke
Don't laugh, no joke
Too many rules, too many fools
Gonna raise it to the ground
Gonna get high, light up the sky
Gonna pull the pin
[instrumental]
I don't care if the rain don't shine
Oh, I don't care if the sun don't fall
You are the one in a million, child
And you knew that I would call
Thoughts of you alone with me
I can't slow them down
But I can't sleep at night
Because you're not around
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
To be waiting for you girl
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
To be without you girl
I've tried every kind of distraction
But nothing will ease this pain
There is only one solution, girl
So why do you make me wait
Got to say I didn't think
That I could read your mind
But I can't sleep at night
'Cause baby you're on mine
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
Oh, I miss you girl
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
To be without you
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
Just too long
I don't care if the rain don't shine
Oh, I don't care if the sun don't fall
You are the one in a million, child
And you knew that I would call
Thoughts of you alone with me
I can't slow them down
But I can't sleep at night
Because you're not around
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
To be waiting for you girl
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
To be without you girl
I've tried every kind of distraction
But nothing will ease this pain
There is only one solution, girl
So why do you make me wait
Got to say I didn't think
That I could read your mind
But I can't sleep at night
'Cause baby you're on mine
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
Oh, I miss you girl
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
To be without you
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
Just too long
Feels so cold, so alone
An empty stage, no one home
I feel so strange, so scared
No point in screaming
I won't be heard
You're so cold, you're so cool
It's so dark in this tomb
Time has come so soon
And time takes no prisoners
Except in the womb
There's no way out, no escape
This silence is deafening
I have to cry out
You're so cold, you're so cool
It's so dark in this tomb
Roll away the rock
Roll the rock away
Set me free from this grave
Am I forgiven, can I be saved?
You've been so cold for so long
This silence is deafening
Was I so wrong?
You're so cold, you're so cool
It's so dark in this tomb
Roll away the rock
Take that rock and roll it
Roll away the rock
You gotta roll the rock away
This silence is deafening
There rides the rainbow demon
on his horse of crimson fire.
Black shadows are following closely
on the heels of his desire.
Riding on in the mist of morning
noone dared to stand in his way.
Posessed by some distant calling.
Riding on through night and day.
Rainbow demon - Pick up your heart and run.
Rainbow demon - Looks for his sword and is gone.
Riding on in the mist of morning
noone dared to stand in his way.
Posessed by some distant calling.
Riding on through night and day.
Rainbow demon - Pick up your heart and run.
Rainbow demon - Looks for his soul and is gone.
Feels so cold, so alone
An empty stage, no one home
I feel so strange, so scared

I won€™t be heard
You€™re so cold, you€™re so cool
It€™s so dark in this tomb

This silence is deafening
The gates have opened
Now I'm a free man
My time is over
I need a new plan
But I've had no loving
For a year and a day
My lady's waiting
Got a taste for her wine
She's wearing money
But none of it's mine
She's been surviving
While I've been wasting away
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
You can't hide it
I'm onto your game
Rough justice, there's no disguise
And I can tell by
The look in your eyes
Rough justice, I've had my share
I've done my time
But I'm still running scared
Rough justice
Coming down on me
Long arm of the law
Never setting me free
Rough justice, I bide my time
Back in action, I'm riding the crest
And putting all that
I've learned to the test
No complications
Taking it day by day
Freedom of movement
Freedom of choice
Free to be right back here
With the boys
Ready to listen
But you've got nothing to say
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
Just can't help it
I'm part of your game
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
You can't hide it
Just part of your game
Rough justice ...
Cold winds and cloudy skies
turn to sweetness in her eyes.
Fantasies I realized
came to life to my surprise.
Rain came and took her away
just when I thought she was here to stay.
Sun gone, I was left high and dry
when love came by and touched me and kissed me so long.
Shine hard October moon.
He will take me to her soon.
Run swiftly silver stream.
Find my love or let me dream.
Now half of me is all of her,
I'd be much happier if I were whole.
All my words and wisdom fail.
The poet's justice leads me to my goal - leads me to my goal.
Cold winds and cloudy skies
turn to sweetness in her eyes.
Fantasies I realized
Lady oh lady you're
Driving me crazy
You brought out the devil in me
You turned on my fire
With words of desire
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me
You're sending me reeling
With love that you're giving
Spinning my poor heart around
The feelings that should be
Have finally saved me
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me
Ain't no use in trying
I never would deny that
I love you love you
Ain't no doubt about it
I just can't live without it
I love you love you
Yes I love you, I really love you
Don't know what it is
That you're putting down
I only know it ain't no game
I only know what you're doing to me
And baby you're the one to blame
Lady oh lady you're
Driving me crazy
You're flying me high
With your eyes
There's no use in trying
Ain't no use denying
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me
Yes, you did
Sure put your lovin'
Sure put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin', put your lovin' on me
Time has come to say goodbye
To the broken memories
They're locked inside like prisoners
In a place that no-one sees
Stayed up late with a friend of mine
Southern Comfort till dawn
We talked about the pains of love
Should've known from
The start you were wrong
I'm just a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you
Tired blood runs through my veins
But I can't get no sleep
You lock my heart
In these prison walls
This place I've got to leave
I'm a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you
The sky is grey, it's raining
Like the storm in my heart
There ain't no use explaining
'Cause I'm leaving, leaving
Won't somebody set me free
Take me away from this misery
I get so lonely
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Won't somebody set me free
Please, please, set me free
Lovely little lady, you've got me on the run.
You're a love machine and you say that I'm your gun.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
You said you were a loser, the kind that came up rusted.
So I had to try hard to satisfy your thirst.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
The only time she's happy is when the bullets fly.
and she'll make you feel you're better than any other guy.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
Lovely little lady, you've got me on the run.
I feel you trying
Though in my heart
I know you're lying
And though your love
For me is dying
I see you crying
Its the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul
I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope
Until the end somehow
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on
But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Wheres the love we talked about
Wheres my sunny sky
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
Out on the street, dead on my feet
At the mercy of the stone-cold night
It's hard to compete
In a dead-end street
With frustration in your line of sight
Do you ever stop to think
Do you ever stop at all
Do you have the time to feel
And if you do
Do you know the feeling's real
Followed a sign that
Pointed the way
And I found myself
Right back at that start
I like to feel good
I've tried feeling sad
But I can't stand a broken heart
Don't wanna wait till my dyin' day
To realise
I guess I'm lucky in
A strange kinda way
'Cause it's clear before my eyes
A grey cloud they say
Hides a surprise
But it rained until I lost my belief
Just close your eyes
We'll show you the way
But I believe I've lost my faith
One man speaks and one man does
While another soul wields the sword
I hear you all, but I still can't see
Just who it is
On the rebound, on the rebound
That's how you fell for me
That's how you changed my life
You cut me like a knife
On the rebound, on the rebound
You came, you saw, you took
It only took one look
And lady, I was hooked
On the rebound - it's a replay ...
Your love was on the rebound
On the rebound
You came and took my soul
You came and left a hole
Where your love used to be
On the rebound, on the rebound
You like to drown in your tears
And after all these years
You give your pain to me
On the rebound - you came to me, babe
On the rebound - to set you free
On the rebound - too bad for me
Your love was on the rebound
You came to me
To set you free
To pray for me
It's a replay
You came to repay
It's a replay
To set you free
Just a replay
Your love was
One more night ...
City lights are
Burning in the distance
Seems they're tellin' me
To hurry home
But I can't push these
Wheels of mine no harder
So hold on baby for
One more night alone
There's time for me to take just
One look over my shoulder
One last glance at
What's been going on
'Cause I'll be there at
First light in the morning
We'll pick up the pieces
And baby, then we'll be long gone
Pick up the pieces and run with me
As fast as you can
You know you always said
I was the man
Pick up the pieces, let's do it now
Let's say our last farewell
Tomorrow may be too late
As far as I can tell
One day ...
Didn't I tell ya
Everything was gonna be alright
I never doubted
It was just a matter of time
And though I've travelled
Across the desert of despair
I know I'll get there one day
How times have changed
I better re-arrange it everything
But it can't change the love I bring
When I get back home to you
I am the same
It's just a game that I chose to play
But remember I can lose
As fast as I won one day
I still remember the hole in the wall
Where we all sat though
You said we'd fall
The dusty yard and
The broken down barn
Where you and me
Used to share a yarn
But it's gone now
But didn't I tell ya
That everything was
Gonna be alright
I never doubted
It was just a matter of time
Though I've travelled
Across the desert of despair
I know I'll get there one day
One day ...
I'll get there one day
I held the rope so tightly
As she climbed
Down from her room
We said we'd make our getaway
Underneath the moon
I always will remember
The night that we left home
And the words of warning
Ringing in my ears
More fool you, more fool me ...
New job, new friends and a family
In a house on the sunny side
We played on the wheel of fortune
But it was me that took the ride
It didn't work between us
I had to give it all away
And in the end I knew it had to be
If I've told you once
Then I've told you twice
But I'll tell you once again
Now she's taken away
Most everything
She got me to walk on water
I did what she said
She got me to steal the moonlight
Put it over her head
And after I moved the mountain
Which stood in the way
The answer was in the question
She asked me if I wanted to stay
All of my friends said it couldnt last
Id be another there in her past
But I disagree cause
I can't say say no, no, no, no
Save me, she's so hungry
Make a man do anything
I know, she gets hungry
Gets away like an innocent child
Save me, she's so hungry
Has the appetite to everything
I know, she's just hungry
Shes got the mind of a miracle child
And when I changed the seasons
And water to wine
I took all the wordly problems
And got the peace in our time
And after I built the temple
She wanted so bad
I took her to altar on sunday
To look at everything that we had
I could say no, but I always do
Someone outside
Would be comin through
And I can't stop her
I can't say no, no, no, no
Shes so hungry
Well the very first time I saw you darling
Not one single word would come to my lips
Yes, the very first time I saw you darling
Not one single word would come to my lips
You see, I was so afraid you wouldn't love me
I want to tell you right now
I was frightened right down to my fingertips
So baby when you went away
That unlucky day last September
I was like a little lost boy in the wilderness
Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
When you went away, oh yeah
I was like a little lost boy in the wilderness
And I've just been sitting and thinking
Of everybody I've ever known
Ooo, well you know I still love you the best
She’s got an eye on youThere’s nowhere to hideShe keeps her motives stillDeep down insideShe shows no mercy, noShe plays it roughShe don’t want no moneyShe just wants to loveLove stealer, raw dealerHeart breaker, love takerYeah yeah ...She walks in the shadowsAs she waits for the nightShe gets what she’s looking forShe knows how to fightIf you see her comingThen you’d better knowIf your love’s for the takingShe’ll steal the showShe just can’t go round there firstFacing the jointThen she’ll move inAnd get right to the pointSo keep your love locked awayDon’t let it showOr the love stealer will rock youFor more than you’ll know
la...
It's gotta be love
It's gotta be love or nothing
You gotta make up your mind
'cause you're running out of time
you know it's your game
and the winner takes all
it's time for you to realise
there's gonna be no compromise
it's gonna be love
it's gonna be love or nothing at all
it's gonna be love or nothing
it's gotta be love (la
or nothing at all.
I've thought about a new beginning
but you know your heart's not in
there's something inside
that ain't hearing my call.
And each new misty morning
brings a constant warning
it's gotta be love
it's gotta be love or nothing at all.
la...
It's gotta be love (La
It's gotta be love or nothing at all
you gimme your love or nothing at all
you gimme your love.
It's no good coming in the back seat
in the name of love
or tryin' to be somebody
that you know you're not
sneaking out the back door
at the dead of night
'cause you're never gonna find out
what it's really like.
it's gotta be love (la
it's gotta be love or nothing at all
it's gotta be love or nothing.
------------------------------------------------
I got the chills they're multiplyin'
A masquerade of dancing shadows
Appear before me
Through my mystic window
And soon to be seen
I saw presented
Became a vision that
I saw resented
I stood and watched
Its image changing
The unseen hand was rearranging
And all the time I wondered
How did it wind
Slowly, surely it unfolded
Its simple lines just as
A pole wind told it
A temporary revolution
My problems rose and fell
With a lapse of illusion
My mind was telling me, don't fight it
It's just a hazard in the night
Don't do those
Who've lost their way
It's a masquerade
Masquerade, it's a masquerade ...
She's lost in the night
She's out of my sight
Gotta find her again
She's out of my life
Gotta find her again
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the sun
Will I ever know the reason
Like a shadow she's gone
She's lost in the night
Out of my sight
Will I find her again
Taken my life
Have to find her again
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the dawn
How can I ever find her
She's just a shadow
Missing person
I don't know where she's gone
Lost one love, last seen somewhere
Walkin' away from the light
Lost one love, somewhere last seen
Walkin' into the night, she's gone
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the sun
Can I ever know the reason
Like a shadow, missing person
I don't know where she's gone
Lost one love, last seen somewhere
Walkin' away from the light
Lost one love, somewhere last seen
Walkin' into the night
She's lost in the night
And I don't the reason
Will I find her again
She's out of my sight
But I can't lose this feeling
Will I find her again
Here we are
Once more in a world full of fantasy
Dream again
You need to believe in a future
That's bright as the sun
Shining there for you
Shining there for me
I am the mountain high, I am the sea
In the moment you take possession
It'll all disappear and there's the lesson
And the minute you think it's over
Say the word and your dream
Is coming back
All the way
I followed the road that was real to me
And suddenly
You take it for granted
And things don't turn out
Like you planned
When you think you've found
What is good and true
Through the open door
It can really turn on you
So here we are
We look for the light in so many eyes
And in our life
When hope starts to fade
There's a strength that
We give to each other
Walking in the sky over everyone
Head above the coulds
Sometimes I'm certain
Sometimes my mind is
Filled with doubt
Some thoughts lay heavy here
Sometimes I think it's figured out
Imagination
Endless voyage of discovery
I'm at once impatient and afraid
Some day you may walk out on me
At least when you're with me
I'm not afraid to live with mystery
I'm sure you know how sad
One night without a dream can be
Imagination, bitter-sweet companion
As my time flies by
Love-hate relation
Hand in hand toward infinity
Lead me here, lead me there
Everywhere if you really dare
Today, tonight, tomorrow
You don't have to take my hand
I'll take it just the way it's planned
Lead on, speed on, I'll follow
When you see me coming
You're gonna know I'm not alone
Me and my imagination
We'll be side by side any way
The wind is blown
Love songs and fantasies
They've kept us busy
Since the day we met
Each new horizon
In a forest known as heartbreak
In a clearing in the wood
'Cross a pathway called confusion
Toward the garden of delight
You'll reach the river of desire
And meekly try and cross it
While the valley of love
Keeps avoiding you
Because it's only an illusion
Only an illusion
Upon the hill of high ideals
You begin to wonder if it's real
You are reaching sleep's oasis
You begin to wonder how you feel
But it happens so quickly
It doesn't fit into your scenes
Tossin' and turnin'
The star of so many scenes
It's only an illusion
You make it all sound easy
Now you’ve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That you’d found another man
But it’s hard to see
What you want from me
It’s not easy to be in-between
It’s now up to you to
Make the move this time
But it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy
But you take the chance
The final chance to learn
Yes, to learn
That it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy, so you take a look
Another look at life - look at life
‘Cause it ain’t what you’ve got
In the palm of your hand
And it’s not what you’ll get
From another man
That will last you
The rest of your life my friend
Monday morning’s waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Don’t keep the pages clean
Baby, now you’ve got this chance
Don’t leave me out
It’s so hard when
You’re in-between
What you need and
What may never be
There I was on a July morning looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution
I'll be looking for you.
I was looking for love in the strangest places.
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned.
I must have tried more than a thousand faces,
but not one was aware of the fire that burned
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.
There I was on a July morning - I was looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution
You - you brought the sunshine to my eyes.
You - the one that threw my sad disguise.
And I have a love that cannot die - for you.
High priestess of my heart.
Tell me that we won't fall.
Then I stood together in the sky.
Leave your lonely walks and wonder why.
For we have a love they can't deny - so true.
High priestess of my heart.
Lost, lost like a precious flame
The ashes burn on
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on, tries to hold on
No communication
All systems are down
No new conversation
Never a sound, never a sound
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone, holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone
Cold, cold as the empty night
Deep in your eyes
I know there's no truth, no light
Only your lies, only your lies
The circle's broken
The damage is done
The crystal lies
Smashed on the floor
Your presence has left me now
Your spirit has gone
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on, tries to hold on
The circle's broken
The damage is done
And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down
You can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry
You can make it
Just hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
And if they stare, just let them
Burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout, don't let it change
A thing that you're doing
Hold your head up ...
She told the story
I listened with my eyes closed
So sad but so true
She whispered softly
I asked her why she did so
She knew that I knew
She was a skater
The ice was her second home
The country's finest
Everyone could see
She had a plan
To break across the border
Instead of waiting for
The powers that be
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
To get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
That we're ready
She said goodnight
But just as I was leaving
A black car came into view
And waiting there
They could hear me breathing
They knew that I knew, cry freedom
Insane questions
They asked me what did I know
So strange, they let me go
But more they try
The stronger our love grows
I know that I know, cry freedom
Cry freedom, sweet freedom ...
Ain't it strange
That when you're onely
And your friends they're not around
So you make your big decision
Get your feet back on the ground
When you're down
And no one wants you
And you wonder who you are
When your friends
They don't desert you
When you make it you're a star
But I'm gonna stay
Free and easy
I know just what I am
I'm gonna be free and easy
Well, I've been through
All the heartaches
And I've been through all the pain
But when you're up and riding high
Everybody stakes their claim
I'm gonna be free and easy
I know just what I am
I'm gonna be free and easy
I'm gonna be free and easy
I know just who I am
Hit the city, hit the night
Hit the club, sip the wine
Just remember to leave on time
Hit the red lights, check the girls
You're steppin' into another world
See the man, he'll spin you alive
But just remember to leave on time
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city, it's a city of sin
Check the star club, see the stars
See the action
In the back street bars
Lookin' for love
You're in the wrong place
Tricks for kicks
Can you stand the pace
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
You pay your money
It's no real crime
Just like footprints in the snow
Who knows where my heart will go?
Will it lead me to you
Or will I see another empty day? Yeah
Seasons come and quickly go
Kinda makes me wonder if they know
Why my heart keeps running near and far
If only they could tell me where you are, oh
If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember
When the times were good
And the times you had to do without
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
Well, I'm not trying to bring you down
I'm just so tired of hangin' around
I won't make the same mistake again
If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember
When the times were good
And the times you had to do without
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
I dreamed of all
The wonders in the world
And lovers that I knew
I saw so many good things
At one time
Mountains of emotion
Coming right into view
When I arose from my bed
I got that warm glow
At the back of my head
First touch, feel the power
Hear the thunder over me
First touch, out of nowhere
See the future over me
Then I dreamed about
The tenderness we shared
And how it makes us feel
Like every first encounter
That we have
When I think I must be dreamin'
You tell me that it's real
And here you are in my bed
I get that warm glow
My love lives at
The end of a rainbow
One day I'm gonna
Fly there on a firefly
High above white angry water
With a love song in my heart
Someday, somehow
I know I'm gonna get there
I've been patient for so long
All my daydreams
Seem so much nearer now
And I beg you hear my song
Firefly
On your glowing wings I'll ride
Till I sit beside
This dream of mine
Firefly, high on a risin' tide
Only wanna touch
The things I've seen
Steppin' lightly from star to star
Cross a wilderness of blue
Wonderin' how much
In love with me you are
'Cause I'm so much in love with you
Firefly, can you take me
I ain't had no lovin' lately
Firefly bring me love
To my new horizon
The one that I've still
Got my eyes on, my my firefly
Firefly, firefly, firefly
In my dreams you come to me
The answer to my prayer
As I begin to feel
You warm my heart
I awake and you're not there
Now and then I see your eye
As the stars begin to shine
No rain to cool my passion
No! Not now!
I can feel your sadness
From what I said to you
I'm drinking my forgiveness
So restless and confused
I don't know what I see
But it looks a lot like love
Showing me something
Deeper then deep in my soul
And it makes me feel like
I'm at the point of no return - feels like
I'm at the point
It makes me feel like
I'm at the point of no return - feels like
I'm at the point
I was drifting through the days
With nowhere else to turn
I finally discovered
How much I have to learn
I shouldn't be afraid
For you to bring my love
Taking me somewhere
Deeper than deep in my soul
This time my heart will lead the way
To win the game you'got to play
You love me like a lover
I see it in your face
No need to think it over
No need to run the race
I don't know if you planned it
But you're driving me insane
Telling me something
I'm so sorry for the things I've done
And the times it went a little wrong
Try to understand
That I’ve made my plans
With my love for you in mind
Sometimes you get the wrong idea
And I can't seem to make it clear
If my heart doesn't show
It's ‘cause I don't know
The best way to say I love you
Every living day
You fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe
For some joy
(THE FUTILITY OF WAR)
Oh, I was born your only son
And I will think of you
Before this day is done
The fires of hell surround me now
So I must fight for freedom
Against their raging guns
In all my life I never said
How much I loved you
In all this time
I never really said I cared
This war is wrong and so
I write these words
Before I give my life to the Somme
In all my life I never said
How much I loved you
In all this time
I never really knew you
The fires of hell surround me, oh
The guns of hell will
Take my breath away
From my life this day
The fires of hell surround me, oh
The words I say
Must never disappear
Keep them locked inside your heart
I can hear the piper's song
And it will play for me
Before this day is done
So I will hold my head up high
If I must give my life
To stop their raging guns
Oh, I was born your only son
And I thank god for that and
That that will be done
Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'
I remember those magic nights
Those nights when it
All seemed right
But I knew that by mornin'
You'd be gone
And though you tell me
That it's not for long
It ain't easy here holdin' on
You gotta tell me where I stand
'Cause either you don't give a damn
Or you don't even care to pretend
Or you won't spare a thought
Though you know
It must come to an end
You'd better know that
I've made up my mind
I gotta high of a different kind
And it's gonna take me
Where I wanna be
Sure I'll miss ya but I gotta choose
You can't believe that
I came here to lose
And you ain't a winner
That's easy to see
So I'll see you around or I'll write
And I'll send you some love
'Cause where I wanna go
There ain't nothing to do but move
It doesn't matter what you say
The cards are in your favour
We don't need no magic ride
To take you far away
Just give it a silent thought
And you will find the power
'Cause everything in life
Will tell you something
Yeah everything in life can set you free
Can you remember a distant dream
That holds your real attention
You don't need a preacher's word
To know what's going on
The secret is all aboard
The wings of your perception
Stand up and fight your troubled mind
Wait no longer
See the power in your life
Disbelievers come on strong
Lost in self importance
They don't know an average man
Can see this mystery
Jump into the twilight world
I have heard the echoes in the dark
Dim and distant voices of the past
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no light.
Far beyond the shrouded hours of dawn
Through the mist of daybreak I was born
But the day was clouded still by night
Leaving me in the land of no light.
Though I'd love to
Say hello to you
You might have to wait a while to say
Goodbye
For it must end as it began
And then start again.
The day of darkness comes to every man
And lingers while he reaches out his hand
And he cannot know how it will end
Till he finds out if he has a friend...
A friend...
A friend...
Alone again
I feel so alone again
with this emptiness I just can't hide
picture me with a broken heart
see the tears run down my face.
(Ev'rything I had has gone) Ev'rything is gone
loneliness still lingering on
ev'rytime I thought was mine
come back to me
can't we try it one more time
come back to me.
I know I'll find another love in time
but you'll always be there in the back of my mind
the power of love can bring such pain
I still love
I just love you
alone again I'm so alone again
with nothing
nothing but you on my mind
can't you see what you've done to my life
what can I do to win you back again ?
(Ev'rything I had has gone) Ev'rything is gone
loneliness still lingering on
ev'rything I thought was mine
(come back to me)
can't we try it one more time
come back to me
come back to me.
Take a piece of my heart
baby
come back to me
come back to me
don't you know
that I love you
girl
come back to me
come back to me
don't you know
that I love you
babe
come back to me
come back to me
w can you close and fail
how can the light that burns

Your taking me in the wrong direction
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're The Devil's daughter
Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yea
Come on
How do you find the time to exist?
I've got to keep my strength of mind to resist
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're The Devil's daughter
Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yea, yea
Oh man, come on man
Come on man now take me there
Where do you come from and where do you go?
Can I touch without havin' to know?
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're The Devil's daughter
Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
Do we live our lives in moderation?
Does this appear when you're around?
And the deeper in debt
The harder the bet
Your thoughts are one of a clown
Look out before you sign
Your soul away
The crystal ball, it seems
Is not reading tomorrow - reading today
Does the time seem right
For some rethinking?
It seems a gift that you have
Are you living a dream
Of express progress?
It's just a thought that you have
Oh, you should've known better
When the warning light was lit
As it did for others
You preach a sermon
When you talk of the Messiah
We are yet to discover
Thinkin', lovin', feelin'
Cheater, I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies
Can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go
I'm tired of chasing shadows
So lllusive in the night
And your empty words
That leave me high and dry
Now the curtain's finally fallen
On this fantasy affair
You've had me for the last time
With your lies
Cheater, you're a cheater
I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies
Can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go
The voices in the wind I heard
Kept telling me to run
Whispering a warning to my heart
And the voices deep as thunder
Tried to speak of things to come
I was blinded then
But now I see the light
Cheater, you're a cheater
And I know where you've been
Cheater, mean mistreater
Your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time
For you to go
Heaven's above
What on earth has this come to
What have I done
What can I do now to show you
There's still a chance
If you're ready to make up
It's not too late
'Cause I'm not ready to break up
I try to call
But you don't hear at all
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Don't walk away
We can get this heart mended
Or am I the fool
And has this love just ended
I tried to call
But you don't hear at all
I gotta keep on trying
To stop this love from dying
You've got to understand
That my heart is in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Tears me apart
Roses - blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
'Cause this burning in my heart
Tears me apart
His blood's on stone
It's running down the frozen wall
His hand's so cold
He's trying not to fall
Oh, will he make it now
One slip and he's lost
It's his last chance for freedom
It's all that he's got
He feels good, so right
Hot sweat on a cold night
Breaking free into the wind
He's got nothing to lose, just win
He's just a runaway
He's free now and on his way
He's almost home
Just one push and
He'll take this wall
It's blood on stone
From trying not to fall
He's made it now
Where others have not
Just one last jump to freedom
Is all that he's got
Stranger than the sunrise
Darker than the night
Fiercer than a rainstorm
This is man's delight
This is man's delight
Weaker than a moment
And hot as any fire
Blinder than the blind eye
This is man's desire
This is man's desire
I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged
My life to the sun
It was good for a while
I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day
The sun had gone
So what of my meaning
What am I trying to say
What of my caution
I'm a man anyway
I'm a man anyway
In this supermarket city
Among the native smiles
You have to pay for attention
And do the best you can
There's a raging silence
And it's charged with action
Got no time for weakness
'Cause I'm a bad bad man
Down the streets of darkness
Where they know my name
Lies a force of evil
And a destructive plan
There's no time for questions
When you run into danger
Don't get too close to me
'Cause I'm a bad bad man
I'm working for the L.A. division
To stop the inner city collision
I'm bringing law and order
To the twenty-first century
I don't care for politics
You can keep your point of view
You'd be better off without it
I got my own bad plan
A tough cop has a lonely existence
A reputation of
The highest resistance
A mean runner bringing order
To the twenty-first century
I don't believe in passion
Don't believe in feelings
I take peace from the wicked
Run and hide while you can
I got no time for small talk
Got no time for off-the-wall talk
Don't care who I tread on
'Cause I'm a bad bad man
At the age of eighteen
I had had enough
And by twenty one
I decided to get tough
And then I found the guard
was still too rough
And I've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt and I've lost my way
I still think I have a chance
To find your love
Well, I tried to love you
One day at a time
Each day waiting
Hoping for the sign
It was clear I needed luck
More than this time
And I've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt, well, I've lost my way
I still think I have a chance
To make you mine
My empty heart is
Counting all the ways
Fire and desire
Sat and count days
Will you, won't you
When and where
Do you, don't you, do I care
That same eternal question
Is always there
It's always there
Wanna hear some musicWanna feel itPlay it nice ’n’ loudWill you be my sweetheartCome backstageHang out with the crowdGuess who’s back in townHer name is lucilleShe knows the wordsTo all the songsShe talks in picturesCan’t stand her tongueLucille’s back in townShe loves to rock youShe’s goin’ backstageGonna steal my heart awayBackstage girl, staged to loveShe’s goin’ backstageShe’s gonna burn awayBurnin’ my stageTo steal my heartWanna taste my lovin’Sure got candy rock’n’rollWill you be my angelOh, lucille of loveBackstage girl in townShe loves to rock you

That same eternal question
Is always there
It's always there
Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring
Far from the crowds
Way above the clouds
We can take you to
The edge of the day
And show you living in
A new kind of way
We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no-one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream
Desperate man, desperate times
Desperate heart
Once she was mine
Bad blood, cold sweat
The more I give, the less I get
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone
Bad blood runs through her veins
She's got bad blood
She'll never change
I held on long as I could
But that girl - bad blood
Perfect crimes, no clues
That girl's just bad news
I held on long as I could
Bad girl, bad blood
She cut clean to the bone
Tight jeans, danger zone
Girl's got bad blood ...
Glass heart, fools gold
Her blood is stone cold
Held on long as I could
But that girl's just no good
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone
(the way of life that must change)In the court of kings I look aroundMy blood runs cold, I close my eyesOut of my head a vision flowsI’ll make the rules I needFor my survival, for my survivalI pull the strings, you take the gloryI load the gun, you shoot me downI’m on the edge about to fallDestructive power will make youLose your mind, use your mindTrapped inside my nightmareYou are thereAs I turn I feel your evil stareWe give our life, invest in timeTo only fools who take controllI spend another cold day in hellAgainst the odds I fightFor my survival, for my survivalYour useless life gets crushedInto the groundThe time has comeTo turn it all around
I was only seventeen,
I fell in love with a gypsy queen.
She told me - hold on!
Her father was the leading man,
said "You're not welcome on our land."
and then as a foe, he told me to go.
He took me to a little shack
and put a whip across my back
then told her - leave me.
I was out for quite a time,
came back with her on my mind.
Sweet little girl - she means all the world.
Though I want my gypsy queen,
will she still be torn between
her father and mother?
One day I will go to him
strong enough to fight and win.
Let me see the sunshine. Let me feel the rain.
Let me go where I wanna go.
Well I want to smell the flowers, see the dawn again.
Find those friends I used to know.
Find those friends I used to know.
Well I spent twenty long years in a dirty old prison cell.
I never saw the light of day.
If you could understand, oh that kind of living hell.
That's the price I had to pay. Oh yeah!
That's the price I had to pay.
They say I killed a man, but I never told 'em why.
So you can guess what I've been through.
And so for twenty long years I've been thinking of that other guy
and what I saw him do to you.
What I saw him do to you.
Listen. So when tomorrow comes and I walk outside that door,
try to understand the strain.
But if you smile that smile I know I couldn't ask for more.
I know I'd do it all again. Yes I would.
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,
her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.
She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god.
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies,
so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life.
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,
so easy to begin and yet impossible to end.
For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side."
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life.
There is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconceptions.
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away.
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone.
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day.
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise.
Well the very first time
I saw you darling
Not one single word
Would come to my lips
Yes the very first time
I saw you darling
Not one single words
Would come to my lips
I was so afraid you wouldn't love me
I wanna tell you right now
I was freightned by damned
To my fingertips
So baby when you went away
That unlucky day last September
I was like a little lost boy
In the wilderness
Baby, baby, baby when you went away
I was like a litlle lost boy
In the wilderness
And I've just been sitting and thinking
Of everybody I've ever known
Well you know I still love the very best
Yes, the very best
Girl before you go now, there's one thing I wanted to do.
______________________, cause I want to make love to you.
You got me real turned on - yes you have.
But there's something in your eyes telling me you have to go.
Something in your eyes, but you're trying not to let it show.
You got me real turned on.
Next time you come over, I'll buy you a bottle of wine.
Just take a little drink and everything will turn out fine - yes it will.
Whoa baby, do you know what I have in mind?
Can you guess what it is or do you want it underlined?
You got me real turned
got me real turned
got me real turned
Daddy, daddy, come and look, see what I have found
A little ways away from here, while digging in the ground
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture book, they had before the war
Daddy, daddy come and see, daddy, come and look
Where there's four orfive little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
Oh daddy, daddy come and see, daddy hurry do!
While there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you, won't you tell me why
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
That someone is your mummy, you had before the war
Daddy, daddy tell me if you can
Why can't things be the way they were, before the war began
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
You who thought
Your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you
Who had seen men dyin’
You heard their children cryin’
While their women weep in silence
And you who thought
You were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then
You'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side
And you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life
And the people that you try
To show the way
Never believe you
Never believe you - no way
While your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence
Oh where is she woman
She's only here for the sun
It's now you'll discover
She's only here for the fun
And who will move over
Sweet talker choosin' her side
And it's then, it's all over
She' just along for the ride
She' s a roller
She's just a roller
Bet she'll roll her life away
One town is just like another
One man will just never do
Don't turn around
When she calls out your name
She's gonna break you in two
But she's a roller
She's just a roller
Rolling time come today
One town is just like another
One man will just never, never do
Don't turn around
When she calls out your name
Searching every day looking every way
Trying to make a connection to find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet who doesn't know
He is close to perfection choice is the question
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Can you understand that in every man
There's a need to unwind that's never been defined
Somewhere deep within there's another being
You are somehow abusing by the person you're using
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Traveling faster than lightening closer than ever before
We can go on for you and take you nearer to the legend of mystery
From the beginning of time dreaming time dreaming
We can return to the land of the good and the kind
Time dreaming time dreaming
No we won't come to your party and open our minds
In another place there's a newer face
Like an unfinished painting your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe, what it is inside
That will set your mind thinking while the others are sinking
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look then they would see
Travel down the road of heartacheHear an echo in my mindI’ve played with fireBurned my fingersNow I’m gonna take my timeYou don’t have to shout about itCan’t you see it obviousFeel (? ) it’s getting close to comfortWhy you makin’ such a fuss?

Well, I'm not superstitious
But there's something going on inside
Could be friendly, could be vicious
And there isn't any place to hide
It's my imagination, a blessing or a curse
No, I can't ignore it for better or for worse
It wakes me when I'm sleeping
A thief that takes my breath away
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Sometimes, I can't control it
Sometimes, it isn't there at all
Sometimes, I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall
My imagination, I love the games it plays
I get in so deep that I get lost for days and days
It sometimes leaves me shakin'
Standin' in the dark alone
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Can't you see that I am reaching?
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back, back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down, down, down, down, down for the last time
Lifeline, going down for the last time
How strange when
You know the feeling
That something aint right
Youre fooled by the need of being
Youre blind to the light
Don't ask where
The stranger leads you
Hell show you the way
Just go out and make your conquest
Youve something to say
Im alive, Im alive and Im me
Ive just got to be free
Im alive to the world
There's been so much
Bad time wasted
Just look and you'll see
Weve got so much going for us
Its not just a dream
Lets look and well find the answers
To questions Ive made
Well reach out for new beginnings
Let love show the way
Lets leave our past behind
The love can make us blind
But now we know
I feel the pressure
Pushing down on me
Can't face the world
Can't change the things I see
I got my hands in my pockets
Staring at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all
I hear voices in my head
They taunt me
Can't lock them out
Inside my thoughts
They breathe in me
I got my hands in my pockets
Screaming at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all
I've got to run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Take away the pain and the joy
Release the man from the boy
Run to be free, run from the heart
Life will take you where it goes
You can offer me salvation
Feed me when I call
Don't talk to me of sanity
When I'm not quite here at all
I've touched the sun
I felt its warmth in me
So you will never take away my dignity
Cause I've got my hands in my pockets
Fighting for my cause
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all
Run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Life will take you where it goes
Run to be free
Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when i wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'
I remember those magic nights
Those nights when it
All seemed right
But i knew that by mornin'
You'd be gone
And though you tell me
That it's not for long
It ain't easy here holdin' on
You gotta tell me where i stand
'cause either you don't give a damn
Or you don't even care to pretend
Or you won't spare a thought
Though you know
It must come to an end
You'd better know that
I've made up my mind
I gotta high of a different kind
And it's gonna take me
Where i wanna be
Sure i'll miss ya but i gotta choose
You can't believe that
I came here to lose
And you ain't a winner
That's easy to see
So i'll see you around or i'll write
And i'll send you some love
'cause where i wanna go
Falling keep on falling
Keep on falling love
Now I don't mind
All this running around
Seems Ive been doing it
Most of my life
My musics been kind
But some days I find
It brings me two kinds of trouble
And three kinds of strife
So don't try to compare it
Cause I just want to
Share it with some people
I like to call friends
There aint nothing bad and
No need to feel sad
And there's certainly no need
To make amends
It wont do you no harm and
There's no cause for alarm
I wont be praying for
Help from above
If the only thing
Wrong with rock and roll
Is that I keep on falling in love
If the only thing
Wrong with rock and roll
Is that I keep on falling
Keep on falling
Oh, i was born your only son
And i will think of you
Before this day is done
The fires of hell surround me now
So i must fight for freedom
Against their raging guns
In all my life i never said
How much i loved you
In all this time
I never really said i cared
This war is wrong and so
I write these words
Before i give my life to the somme
In all my life i never said
How much i loved you
In all this time
I never really knew you
The fires of hell surround me, oh
The guns of hell will
Take my breath away
From my life this day
The fires of hell surround me, oh
The words i say
Must never disappear
Keep them locked inside your heart
I can hear the piper's song
And it will play for me
Before this day is done
So i will hold my head up high
If i must give my life
To stop their raging guns
Oh, i was born your only son
And i thank god for that and
I've got a dollar deal hidden down in my shoe
So listen friends, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna run up the road of mystery
Hangin' by a thread to a fantasy
A background black showing my face
Buried in the image of an empty space
I'm back on my feet
Getting no sleep
Makin' it all mine
Give me a chance
To follow the bands
Waitin' for the sunshine
Husslin' my will in a bar downtown
If it don't work out
I'll keep movin' around and around and around and around
Till I'm back on my feet
Getting no sleep
Makin' it all mine
Give me a chance
To follow the bands
Waitin' for a sun shine
Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around
Dreamer Dreamer trying to hitch a ride
Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around
Dreamer Dreamer when I turn my back you're by my side ooh
Well I fought my way through the backstage door
Staring at my goal till my eyes get sore
And working my way through the little I say
Caring no less just the light of the day
A background black showing my face
Buried in the image of an empty space
I'm back on my feet
Getting no sleep
Makin' it all mine
Give me a chance
To follow the bands
Waitin' for the sunshine yeah
Just a Dreamer Dreamer hangin' a round
Dreamer Dreamer trying to hitch a ride
Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around
Dreamer Dreamer when I turn my back you're by my side
Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around
Dreamer Dreamer trying to hitch a ride
Dreamer Dreamer hangin' a round
You can't stop a man from learning
I could write the book of love
Captured moments there
Between me and you
Then I had the thought of leavin
It was a voice inside my head
Telling me I got to have the strength
To see it through
And I know its
Gonna break your heart
And I know its
Gonna break your heart
Im living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
Im living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I drift off in the night
Im alone but Im not lonely
I found something that I never had
Laying back in the easy chair
Is not the life for me
You think Im your one and only
But you gamble with a restless man
In the end Ive found the way
That we can both be free
Im living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
Im living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I disappear into the night
Im living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
Im living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
Im living in a different world
And as I slip away
Im living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I had a spider woman
And she was so good
She chained me
In her web so tight
I lost the freedom
Of release that night
So I stayed right by her
I dreamt I saw a blind man
Who was singing a song
About a guy who
Couldn't take no more
And the meaning of
The words he swore
Told me go find her
She was a spider woman
But she was good to me
Spider Woman
But she was good to me
I told her 'bout my vision
But she laughed in my face
So I told her go
And walk in the street
But by the time
She got past my feet
I lost control
