Darkness falls
Around your window pane
A light still burns
But just a smoldering flame
Is it the end of another affair
An open engagement with gloom
Or will you be smiling when the sun conjures up
A broken spell au clair de lune?
Silhouette
As you draw the shade
Cloak of night
You know it's tailor-made
G-Plan gymnastics by an everglow fire
Could never mean the same
As summer enchantment by an old mill steam
From courtly love to costly game
Maybe I'm wrong for seeming
Ungrateful, unforgiving
Oh how it hurts now you're finally leaving
I couldn't take anymore
Now's the time!
Let's hide away
Sacred hours
Saved from yesterday
Boo-hoo willows weep around you still
Mirror reflections of dew
But waterfall pages of an open book
Could shower new horizons soon
Call the tune, will you swoon?
(Ferry) Some expression in your eyes
Overtook me by surprise
Where was I how was I to know?
How can we drive to a movie show
When the music is here in my car
There's a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They playing Oh Yeah on the radio
And so came to be our song
And so on through all summer long
Day and night drifting into love
Driving you home from a movie show
So in tune to the sounds in my car
There's a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They playing Oh Yeah on the radio
It's some time since we said goodbye
And now we lead our separate lives
But where am I where can I go?
Driving alone to a movie show
So I turn to the sounds in my car
There's a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
There's a band playing on the radio
And it's drowning the sound of my tears
They're playing Oh Yeah on the radio
(ferry)
Oh here it comes again
That old ennui
I hope it won´t stay long
Well it´s every-man to his own thing
And every singer to his song
If you´re feeling low
And all upset
Nothing's going right
You just make a wish
Like in a fairy tale
And i´ll bewitch you
If it takes all night
There are many things
That I could say
To try and comfort you
But I know the words you´d like to hear
Are simply "i love you"
Sometimes i´m up
Sometimes i´m down
A topsy-turvy life
But only searching
For the truth
And i´ll find it
If it takes all night long
Well I myself
May main concern
Is what I can afford
So if music be my mistress
Then at least she´s madame claude... d´accord
Ah - more champagne!
To lose this pain
Would be very nice
So i´ll help myself to one more drink
And i´ll find myself
Valerie, please believe
It never could work out
The time to make plans
Has passed, faded away
Ooh, the way you look
Makes my starry eyes shiver
Then I look away
Too much for one day
One thing we share
Is an ideal of beauty
Treasure so rare
That even devils might care
Your swimming-pool eyes
In sea breezes they flutter
The coconut tears
Heavy-lidded, they shed
Swaying palms at your feet
You're the pride of your street
While you worship the sun
Summer lover of fun
Gold number with neighbours
Who said that you'll go far?
Maybe someday be a star
A fast mover like you
And your dreams will all come true
All of my hope
And my inspiration
I drew from you
Our life's pattern's drawn in sand
But the winds could not erase
The memory of your face
Deep in the night
Plying very strange cargo
Our soul-ships pass by
Solo trips to the stars in the sky
Gliding so far that the eye cannot follow
(Ferry)
I tried but I could not find a way
Looking back all I did was look away
Next time is the best time we all know
But if there is no next time where to go?
She's the sweetest queen I've ever seen (CPL593H)
See here she comes see what I mean? (CPL593H)
I could talk talk talk talk talk myself to death
But I believe I would only waste my breath
Ooh show me
I could show you in a word
If I wanted to
A window on a world
With a lovely view
From close up inside a single room
With an open book aside
Like you read in school
It's so easy, believe me
When you need fun
I do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
Is it raining in New York
On Fifth Avenue
And off Broadway after dark
Love the lights don't you
I could walk you through the park
If you're feeling blue
Or whatever
Spring Summer whenever
Winter through Fall
I'd do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
I could leave you as you were
If I wanted to
Then I wonder is it fair
Now you're on your own
Who cares about you
Except me, God help me
When things go wrong
I do anything to turn you
Must phone me, you know me
When things go wrong
(Ferry)
Would you believe in what I do
When the things that I make are all for you?
And in a while I'll come to you
Showing showing why what I think will all come true
Well I'm sure I'll love you all my life
And in the morning too
Everything you have is out of sight
But baby I can see through you
And in a while I'll come to you
Showing showing why what I think will all come true
Would, would you believe in what I do
When the things that I make are all for you?
Oh, look at the sun, it's all a-glow
Slow burning star, sinking low
Heaven knows where you go
Out of sight, out of minds eye, no
Aaw, such a shame, you must leave
All day long you were a friend to me
Still, the moon's company
Until morning when larks will sing
Horizon's appointment you'll keep
For sun swept flamingos must sleep
Scenes like these from my dreams
Cover cutting-room floors all over
Warm heart, we spin slowly from view
Why are you sad, do you disapprove?
How we've wasted our time
Sunset, end of my day, my decline
Postscript, you trace colors the sky
Red-letter light fades is filed away
Sunburst fingers you raise
(ferry)
Through the undercover hour
Bad and bleak
To be brief - too much sorrow
And flesh is weak
No more feelings
No more tears
The river´s wide enough
Flowing stronger through the years
Silver lips - kisses borrowed
Glances steal
To quick - how they quiver
Too late they´re sealed
No more feelings
No more tears
The river´s wide enough
Look at my hand
There's a soul on fire
You can lead me even higher
The main thing
Everybody knows
When a good thing's gone
You can really turn me on
The main thing
You run through here
With your words of sand
I can nearly understand
The main thing
I've been thinking now for a long time
How to go my own separate way
It's a shame to think about yesterday
It's a shame, a shame, a shame, a shame
We've been running round in our present state
Hoping help will come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
In love, in love, in love, in love
Now that we are lonely
Life seems to get hard
Alone, what a world lonely
Alone, it makes me cry
Thought-train set in motion
Wheels in and around
Express our emotion
Tracks up then it cracks down, down, down, down
Now that we are lonely
Life seems to get hard
Alone, what a world lonely
Alone, it makes me cry
I cry, I cry, I cry
We've been running round in our present state
Hoping help will come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
You've got me girl on the run around, run around
Got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a lover then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the season and my only reason
Is that I'll get to you
I'll find some way of connection, hiding my intention
Then I'll move up close to you
I'll use you and I'll confuse you and then I'll lose you
(Ferry)
Instrumental
(Ferry)
For your pleasure
In our present state
Part false part true
Like anything
We present ourselves
The words we use tumble
All over your shoulder
Gravel hard and loose
There all night lying
With your dark horse hiding
Abhorring such extremesYou're rubbing shoulders
With the stars at night
Shining so bright
Getting older
But you'll wake up soon
And fight
In the morning
Things you worried about
Last night
Will seem lighter
I hope things
Will turn out right
Old man
Through every step a change
You watch me walk away
Tara tara....
Think I'll walk out in the rain
Called you time and time again
I've got no reply, you've gone
Reached the point of no return
The more I see the more I stand alone
I see the end of the line
Were you ever lonely?
Mystified and blue?
Realizing only your number's up
You're through
Done my share of winning
Now's my turn to lose
After a fair beginning
The game's up I'm through
Think I'll walk out in the storm
There's no love to keep me warm inside
And hope it's fine at the end of the line
Now is the time to take a dive
Try a magic carpet ride
Everything is wrong
You've gone
If you ever miss me
If I should cross your mind
You know where to find me
Blue sunsets and grey lagoons
Silver starfish with honeymoons
All these and more to choose
If you
Satin teardrops on velvet lights
Morning sickness on Friday nights
Heaven knows what others I might bring
To you
Broken partings making strange goodbyes
Hopeless cases with fake alibis
Even hoping we'll be there to share
With you
Blue suns and grey lagoons
Grey lagoons
(Ferry)
I never thought I'd seen you again
Where have you been until now?
Well how are you how have you been
It's a long time since we last met
It seems like yesterday when I first
Saw you in your red dress smile
How could I forget that day
I know that time spent well is so rare
(Ferry) You - the hero
So many times
You've loved
And didn't linger
Now my finger
Points at you
- Another loser
You - an island
On your own
Complete
In every detail
Monumental
A precious jewel
Or just a fool
Innovator
It's in your mind
And blood
I watch it simmer
I see you're courting
More despair
No hope?
Not a glimmer
Now you're nothing
But second hand
In glove
With second rate
Now you're flirting
With heroin
- Or is it cocaine?
Casanova -
Is that your name
Or do you live there?
I know my place
Is here with you
Tonight
But not together
Are you ready for bad blood?
I've got my share
I'm sick of them sweet, sweet nothings
Oh, in my ear
Ain't it funny? I'm the honey
All your money just can't buy
So baby you can cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Now the last laugh is mine
You ready for hot stuff? Be prepared
I'm sick of your cheap, cheap hustle
Oh, don't cha dare
Let us pray the Lord have mercy
On your mercenary mind
'Cause even if you cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Your heart out, I won't be kind
Lonely
Are you ready for good times? Hard to bear
You're steppin' on holy ground, hold it there
Babe, I'm a fading out your hologram
A phoney toothpaste smile
Remember when you cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
(Your heart out, I did mine)
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
(Ferry)
Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures of living
Your death could not kill my love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Here's looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here's looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since we're together
Now I hope it's foreverIdeal love flies away now
White jacket, black tie, wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson
Here's looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never
(Ferry)
I never thought I'd seen you again
Where have you been until now?
Well how are you? how have you been?
It's a long time since we last met
It seems like yesterday when I
First saw you in your red dress smile
How could I forget that day
I know that time spent well is so rare
(Ferry)
I've been thinking now for a long time
How to go my own separate way
It's a shame to think about yesterday,
It's a shame
Now that we are lonely
Life seems to get hard
Alone what a word - lonely
Alone it makes me cry
Thought-train set in motion
Wheels in and around
Express our emotion
Tracks up, then it cracks down
We've been running round in our present state
Hoping help would come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
In love
(Ferry)
I tried but I could not find a way
Looking back all I did was look away
Next time is the best we all know
But if there is no next time where to go?
She's the sweetest queen I've ever seen (CPL593H)
See here she comes, see what I mean? (CPL593H)
I could talk talk talk, talk myself to death
But I believe I would only waste my breath
Ooh show me
(Ferry)
You - the hero

Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson
Here's looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never
Couldn't sleep a wink last night
Oh oh, how I'd love to hold you tight?
They say you have a secret life
Made sacrifice your key to paradise
And never mind, take the world by storm
Just boogaloo a rhapsody divine
Take a sweet girl just like you
How nice if only we could bill and coo
I may seem a fool to you for everything I say or think or do
How could I apologize for all those lies?
The world may keep us far apart but up in Heaven
Angel, you can have my heart
Diamonds may be your best friend
But like laughter after tears
(Ferry)
I've been thinking now for a long time
How to go my own separate way
It's a shame to think about yesterday,
It's a shame
Now that we are lonely
Life seems to get hard
Alone what a word - lonely

Thought-train set in motion

Express our emotion

We've been running round in our present state
Hoping help would come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
In love
(Ferry)
I want to be just everything
More than you need
I want to hear you call
Nothing but me
I'd be lost on my own
A bird on the wing
Heaven knows like a bird
I see everything
I want to play on night to night
The world on a string
You look at me
And I wonder what goes on
All that money could buy
All of those things
I could never be sure
Where to begin
Friday night in the rain
Somebody new
Better now babe never
Take it from me
I got nothing but no
So many times
Hold it out to me now
(Ferry)
I'm a stranger in your town
That's the place I belong
Laid behind the frame
And the curtain's torn again
A wailing saxophone
And you know it's all in my song
All the sin that I can take
But you don't even know my name
You've got so sense of fun
But you know I've one
All the good has turned to bad
All you know what I think of that
No time to dream
No time to sigh
No time to kill
When love walks by
And who's that crying in the street
Death is the friend I've yet to meet
(Ferry)
When love's gone
There's no one
A waste land
A ghetto
When love's gone
A tear on
A waste land
Your pillow
So I send an S.O.S
Semaphore myself
Catch me falling finally
Through the air and underground
Everywhere this sound
Screams a whisper,"I can't breathe"
I feel it in my bones
Though I know I'm not alone
You're spinning far too far from me
So cruel to be so kind
Now I know I'll always find
This island earth a mystery
As I stumble through the dark
Dream lovers dream apart
Starry eyed a vision rushes in
Do I wonder or care?
My spirit's bleeding God knows where
A never ending stream
I tried to love, tried to find
My soul in shadows running blind
And restless as the sea
Via sidewalks through the haze
Wandering as in maze
Lost in number time and space
So near and yet so far
Castaway as strangers are
Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
We live, we die
We laugh, we cry
We know not why
Lipstick and leather wear and tear
Of another sign of the times
We're chained and bound
Hard lines, crack down
On stony ground
Here is a taste of here and now
Red is the bloody sign of the times
The bride stripped bare
Of all despair
We're cut but we don't care
Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
Light up in anger, I'll be there
Fight for a sign of the times
We live, we die
We laugh and we cry
We know not why
Bent on a life between the lines
Havana moon
You got me in strangest mood
Just me myself, no one else
Ever be so blue
No backstreet woman
No grand hotel
The only face, out of place
An empty shell
I wanna be alone
Me myself, no one else
I wanna be alone
Havana moon
Nobody know me like you do
Nowhere to turn, never learn
I can't break through
No backstreet woman
No grand hotel
The only face, out of place
An empty shell
I wanna be alone
Me myself, no one else
I wanna be alone
You make me nervous
Your telephone
You drive me crazy
I wanna be alone
I wanna be alone
Me myself, no one else
I didn't know which way to turn
I didn't know which way to turn
I can't control my feelings if I tried
Right from wrong, from left to right
I didn't know which way to turn
Walk on ice, feel your fingers burn
Walk on ice, feel your fingers burn
And the world you know is easing out of time
I can't control my feelings if I tried
Can't control my feelings if I tried
And the world you know is easing out of time
Easing out of time
Easing out of time
Easing out of time
Easing out of time
Where do we go from here
Your place or mine?
What do you want from me
And is there time, time?
Where do we go from here?
I wish I knew
Getting too hot to bear
Let's keep it cool, cool, cool
Where do we go from here?
I'm in the mood
Living on borrowed time
Let's make a move
39 steps
Don't ask me why
My, my heart is breaking
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
I'm tired of wanting
Some other spring some time
39 steps
Don't ask me why
My, my heart it is yearning
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
My heart is breaking
Some other spring some time
39 steps
39 steps
39 steps
Too fast to live
Too young to die
One stolen kiss babe
A certain smile
We never close babe
We dance all night
I'm lost inside babe
Your painted smile
The name of the place
The name of the place
You'll never know babe
The state I'm in
It's a plastic world babe
No tiger skin
Don't talk to me (don't talk to me)
Your perfume sighs
I'm lost inside babe
Your painted smile
Painted,
(Ferry)
From time to time you get the sign
Move your body right next to mine
From day to day you get nowhere
Oh baby don't leave me there
Lovey dovey on me
Lovey dovey on me
And when you tell me pass it on
I'll pass it on...
It's a chain reaction it never stop
What's on your mind
A chain reaction it never stop
Think about you all the time
Oh baby what's on your mind
No sympathy dedicate it to memory
Oh turn it on treat me square
How can I be everywhere boy...
I'm down on my knees
Down on my knees
Lovey dovey on me
Lovey dovey on me
And when you tell me pass it on
I'll pass it on...
(Ferry)
When the world outside of you
Seems to weigh too much for you
Then draw within' yourself
For there is no-one else
Well it's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
Black and blue has turned to grey
Real life pictures gone astray
But don't give in
Imagination rules again
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's the truth
Party doll
Oh how you turn me on
Now the day's for sleepin'
For I'll be leapin' all night long
Party doll
Without you I can't go on
Now the way I'm figurin'
You'll be Leda
And I'll be Swann........
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
And if our secret love
Is haunting you -
No-one can hold me
Like you used to do........
Party doll - what's your game?
Do you move, or entertain
What people say
When it don't mean a thing
It's a sin
Heads they lose
Tails you win
Party doll - I must confess
This wishin' well of loneliness
Has dragged you down
I'll wind you up - let's twist again
It's a skin
Skin to skin
Amen
Here in the hush of evenin'
On a night in June
Overhearin' conversations
Bayin' at the moon
Suddenly a voice I'm hearing
Sweet to my ear
This is tomorrow's callin'
Wishin' you were here
Layin' in my motel bedroom
Feelin' ceilin' blues
Wall to wall a TV's twitchin'
Clearly not a muse
Then flashin' through the interference
Beams a thousand tunes
This is tomorrow callin'
What have I to lose?
Truckin' by the railway station
I'm on the road again
Steerin' clear of all termination
Unto the point of pain
When steamin' through on cue
I hear that wailin' whistle blow
If this is tomorrow callin'
Oh, what a way to go
Day to day you live old fashioned
Hi-toned, fancy free
A double take, an image-spittin'
Tailored to a T
While history is tellin' you
The same old thing
This is tomorrow callin'
Let's stick a new oar in
This is tomorrow callin'
Now is the moment
Here is the place
Soon's the time to go
Seeing's believin'
So he thought once
Now he's not so sure
One kiss, one for the road, what is more?
One kiss roughly expressing all that lips are for
Where do they come from?
Doesn't she speak?
Where can they go from here?
Forever or never
Or once in a while
Their situation's clear
One kiss, never too late to miss
One too many a broken-up affair like this
Spinning together
Drifting away
The song of love is strange
A never ending
See you soon
Too late, the music's changed
One kiss, what kind of end is this?
One more touching impression, one lost love, one kiss
Just as he's trying
To open the door
He fumbles with the key
Clumsily playing for time
Without words
Some things you can only feel
One kiss, lost in shade
(Ferry)
Oh baby do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand
Oh baby show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore
Heatwave to nightshade
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Oh baby don't leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept on the air
You say it's nothing
But a game to play
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Slow baby you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is on the tide
A feeling only or state of mind
You can take me high mama
Mama take me high
(Ferry)
Gold and silver walk the main street
Sons and lovers learn to suffer
Born in shadow where we first meet
Dreams that money cannot offer
Swollen river I've been thinking
Words of passion and sorrow
Make believing is the real thing
Here today or gone tomorrow
April fever is no stranger
Night and morning in my shadow
World of pleasure and danger
Take my spirit - I must follow
(Ferry)
What do you find on the street tonight? - nothing
It's a river of no return
Diamonds they're your only friend tonight
Break the mirror and bang the drum
Let's be cool about it
Oh we're cool about it now
Stone woman - the pain is gone
And the pleasure is yet to come
What do you see on the street tonight - nothing
But another heartbreak hotel
Stranger - you're the only friend tonight
Pick a number and ring the bell
Let's be cool about it
Oh we're cool about it now
Stone woman - the pain is gone
And the pleasure has just begun
(Ferry)
Never seem to touch
I didn't feel enough
Motivation
Then I heard you call
Then I need it all
Never been in love
Never needed much
Complication
Then I hear you call
And I need it all
Where beat goes on
There you've been and gone
When I hear your name
Will I feel the same
Sensation
Hark the frozen chimes of winter
Crystal shimmer in your mind
To the first time when you saw her
You implored her to be kind
In the open fields around you
All before you gone to ground
Both the question and the answer
Deep inside you, you shall find
And while you're strollin'
Through the summer of your years
Enchanted, a garden overgrown
Don't call me sentimental
Those of you who care
Could find there a lover and a friend to the end
And if you're taken
By the spirit of your age
No reason to carve the cornerstone
Sway me, trade me
Your philosophy
First you're sowin', then you're growin'
Then you reap until you sleep
Will you scale the silver studded mountain?
Where contemplation will spring to mind
See the veiled prophet's withered gaze reflect the 'Nouvelle-vague'
Glazed visions imprisoned in your mind
Unwinding rivers flowing through the meadows to the sea
Paths of glory through shifting glades to fall
Present laughter and the memory of troubles you have seen
Tell me something I must know
The burning question why
Half a man is twice as much
When he's on the line
Happiness hard to get
Valentine in hand
None of them will ever guess
But you understand
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown
Tell me something I must know
I'm outside looking in
Train of mirrors none so fair
Let the show begin
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown
How many men in a world of their own
(Ferry)
Ten cents a dance
It's the only price to pay
Why give 'em more
When it's only love for sale?
Adam and Eve
It's the oldest game in town
Just a one way street
To a faded magazine
Kiss and tell
Money talks - it never lies
Kiss and tell
Give and take - eye for an eye
Fever - the heat of the night
Dreamer - stealer of sighs
One public face
In a private limousine
Flash photograph
It's the only light you see
No secret life
There's no secret you can steel
Your lips are moving
But I will never know
What they mean
Kiss and tell
Money talks - and love...it burns
Kiss and tell
Give and take - we live and learn
Kiss and tell
We never lie
Eye foe an eye
Blood on a nail
Kiss me again
(ferry)
New town
There´s a place
A mad affair
In a new world
Heaven send
A life that´s made for us
Out of luck
Out of touch
Out of love
No concrete jungle
Dancing feet
Cul-de-sac of desire
Is in itself
Destroying me
I´ve got to live down
Don´t want to dwell in history
That´s why i´m leaving now
New town
There´s a place
To do or die
In a new world
Heaven sent
A life that´s made for us
Out of luck
Out of touch
Out of love
No laughing boys
Forbidden dreams
No willow weep
For me now
The shadow hanging over me
I´ve got to tear it down
(Ferry)
I knew there'd be times like this
When I'd sit at home and reminisce
Oh how one's memory slips...
So I close my book
And sighing, take a second look
Sure enough - I'm quite alone
Still, there no sound
So I spin-a-disc around and around
And slide the needle in the groove...
Drive down any highway baby
But don't bid me adieu
Through a sea of twisting byways
I'll be trailing you
Eternity'll solve our problem
Take it as you may
And destiny will stand corrected
Should we connect some day
Another time - to spend
Another place - to go
Another love to share with you
Deep emotion springs from this life
Wells up inside
Quick, pick me up and pour me over
The clouds crying by
Another time - to spend
Another place - to go
Another love this time it's true
Anyway you want me lover
Used to be your tune
I looked you up - you looked me over
My lucky strike won through
I was cut, dried and discarded
Just a rusty blade
But since I found my four leaf clover
I've seen the light again
All the tears
In the world
Seem to fall from you
At their
Rainbow's end
A halcyon day
Or two
How soon
We fool ourselves
How slow
We tread
Astral planes
Collide head on
And on and on we glide
As if forever
Mother Of Pearl
Turn the lights down Way down low
Turn up the music Hi as fi can go
All the gang's here Everyone you know
It's a crazy scene Hey there just look over your shoulder oo oo
Get the picture? No no no no....Yes
Walk a tightrope Your life sign line
Such a bright hope Right place, right time
What's your number? Never you mind
Take a powder But hang on a minute what's coming round the corner, ooh.. oo oo
Have you future? No no no no....Yes
Well I've been up all night.. Again?
Party time wasting
Is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of life's inner meaning
And my latest fling
It's the same old story
All love and glory
It's a pantomime
If you're looking for love
In a looking glass world
It's pretty hard to find
Oh Mother of Pearl, I wouldn't trade you for another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
I've been looking for something
I've always wanted
But was never mine
But now I've seen that something
Just out of reach, glowing
Very Holy Grail
Oh Mother of Pearl, lustrous lady of a scared world
Thus, even Zarathustra
Another time loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring down
It gets you down
But the search for perfection
Your own predilection
Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian club love
A place in the country
Everyone's ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh Mother of Pearl I wouldn't change you for the whole world
You're highbrow, holy
With lots of so
Melancholy shimmering
Serpentine sleekness
Was always my weakness
Like a simple tune
But no dilettante
Filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you
Career girl cover
Exposed and another
Slips right into view
Oh looking for love
In a looking glass world
Is pretty hard for you
Few throw away kisses
The boomerang misses
Spins round and round
Fall on feather bed quilted
Faced with silk
Softly stuffed eider down
Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
We'll forget your past
Oh Mother of Pearl
Submarine lover
In a shrinking world
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture of cameo
Oh Mother of Pearl
So, so semiprecious
In your detached world
(Ferry) At last the crimson chord cascade
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin
While destiny begins to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realise their fate
You were the raven of October
I knew the sign you flew around
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I never thought I'd be a rover
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me
Give now the host his claret cup
And watch Madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think
(Ferry)
The bogus man is on his way
As fast as he can run
He's tired but he'll get to you
And shoot you with his gun
Focussed his mind
On something he cared about
But it came out a shout
Just like beforeThe bogus man is at your heels
Now clutching at your coat
You must be quick now hurry up
He's scratching at your throat
Concealed his doubt
By skilful evasion
But he couldn't find out
About deception
The bogus man is on his way
As fast as he can run
He's tired but he'll get to you
And show you lots of fun
(ferry)
Here the soil is barren
Here - nothing grows
But crosses
They - know not what they do
You - your forgiveness
Falls as dew
Nailed upon a wooden frame
Twisted yet unbroken
Open mounted a silent choir
Understood, unspoken
Never was there heard a sound
Until the heavens opened
Now the tide is turning
To other-wordly yearning
Through the sun´s eclipse seems final
(Ferry)
Do I ever wonder?
More than words can say
Heaven knows it's hard enough to pray
Let me tell you something
There's a change in me
Even now you're gone you'll always be
My only love
Does it seem so funny
For a fool to cry?
Do you know the meaning of goodbye?
There's a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you need to know remember me
My only love
Let me tell you something
More than words can say
But they're all I have, no other way
There's a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you find you're there remember me
My only love
Twin, we've been best friends
Ever since we were little kids
So I sit and remenisce
On all the things we ever did
I remember
All the stupid s--- I can't forget
Hope God forgive us for our sins
and give you the strength to live
Far from sensitive
But I'm shedding tears right now
Cause I'm watching you fight for your life
And I can't help out
Meanwhile, the doctor's shocking your chest,
Checking for breath
I was with you from the stretcher
To the hospital bed
Not believing it yet
Everybody sad and depressed
Counting your blesings, praying and praying
Hoping for the best
Waitin in pec
Your wife duke shaking from stress
Breaking in tears and fear
Cause dog, she love you till death
Next thing you know, the doctor comes out
Just shaking his head
Nothing was said
But I read it in his face full of sweat
You were dead
Just all I saw instead was blood shot red
And I felt a chill throughout my body
That I'll never forget
God Bless You
(CHORUS) x2:
Flowers for the dead
At times I hear your voice still in my head
Wishing you were here instead
These precious memories I can't forget
(Unas flores para los muertos)
In my sleep I hear you speaking to me
And feel you reaching to me
Wish I could see you
Though I know you with me spritually
Physically, right here besides me
Is where I need you to be
Keeping me company
And take over this whole industry
Memories, of when we used to be
Too deep in the streets
If there was beef
We had each others backs naturally
If there was need for me to grab the heat
You'd grab it from me
And blast off with no remorse
Just as long as its me
Young indeed
We sat and chat
On the block puffing trees
Guzzeling Hennesey
Playing knucles til one of us bleed
You used to eat Rocks
And read encyclopedias to me
You was a geneous
Even though you had no college degree
We were homies
But you will always be a brother to me
So close
We always gave each other kiss on the cheek
Big P, your legacy will always live on the street
And best believe
I'm a be there for your wife and 3 seeds
Rest In Peace.
(CHORUS)
Yeah,This is dedicated to the ones who never made it
I hated the fact you faded away
You were the greatest
So I say this prayer to pay my respects
I'll never forget you cause you special
I'll catch you in my heart
May God bless you
Rest in peace to my peoples
Who passed away (passed away)
Best believe I'ma keep you alive
Always (always)
Till the day we meet again
Face to face with a grin
In hell or heaven
You my twin to the end
And I'ma miss you
(Chorus)
Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed, I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee, I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it, 'cause
We've been around a long time
Just tryin' to, tryin' to, tryin' to
Make the big time
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six day wonder, but don't you
Don't you throw my pride aside, besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We are flyin' down to Rio
Throw me a line, I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws, can't make it
Havana sound were trying
Hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture shows down the drive-in
You're so sheer, you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week
Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue, casino floors
Dance the Cha-cha through till sunrise
Opens up exclusive doors, oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two
Got to search for something new
Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand, but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane?
So it gets to seven
And I think of nothing
But living in darkness
And the diamond lady
Well, she's not telling
Don't even know her name
It's amazing
Times have changed
In days of old
But imagination'll leave you
Standing out in the cold
Dancing city
Now you're talking
But where's your soul?
You've a thousand faces
I'll never know
True to life
True to life
There are complications
And compensations
If you know the game
Agitated in xenon night
I'll take you home again
Travel way downtown
In search of nothing
But the sky at night
And the diamond lady
When she's not talking
It's alright
True to life
True to life
True to life
So I turn the pages
And tell the story
From town to town
People tell me
"Be determined
Poor country boy"
But too much luck
And too much trouble
Much time alone
But arm in arm
With my seaside diamond
No way, no why
No care, no cry
No way, no sign
So [Incomprehensible] so fine
The way I see it
This relationship ain't right
The space between us
Listen here, listen
Better close it up tonight
No way, no why
No care, no cry
The space between us
Close it up tonight
No way, no sign
So clear so fine
The way I see it
This relationship ain't right
The space between us
Listen here, listen, listen here, listen
We better close it up tonight
No way, no why
(The space)
No care, no cry
(The space)
No way, no sign
(The space)
So clear so fine
(The space)
No way, no why
(The space)
Before I die I'll write this letter
Here are the secrets you must know
Until the cloak of evening shadow
Changes to mantle of the dawn
Will it be sunny then I wonder?
Rolling and turning
How can I sleep?
Hold on till morning
What if I fall?
Over the hills and down the valleys
Soaring aloft and far below
Lying on stony ground the fragments
Truth is the seed we tried to sow
Marking the time spent on our journey
There isn't much we have to show
Counting the cost in money only
Strikes me as funny don't you know?
Tongue tied the thread of conversation
Weighing the words one tries to use
Nevertheless communication
This is the gift you must not lose
Hauling me always are the voices
(Tell us are you ready now?)
Sometimes I wonder if they're real
(We're ready to receive you now)
Or is it my own imagination?
(Have you any more to say?)
Guilt is a wound that's hard to heal
(It's a cross you have to bear)
Could it be evil thoughts become me
(Tell us what you're thinking now)
Some things are better left unsaid
Magical moment
The spell it is breaking
There is no light here
Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah
They're always calling on my telephone
When I pick it up, there's no one there
So I walk outside just to take the air
Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you'd see, who you might meet
This brave new world's not like yesterday
It can take you higher than the Milky Way
Now I'm blinded, I can't really see, yeah
No more bright lights confusing me, no
Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue
'Cause loving you is all I can do
Hey, good-looking boys, gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down
All those lies can be so unkind
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind
Street life, street life
Street life, what a life
Street life, street life
Street life, that's a life
Back to nature boys, Vassar girls too
(Street life)
Watch what you say or think or do
(Street life)
Continental-style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right
(What a life)
(Street life)
Education is an important key, yes
(Street life)
But the good life's never won by degrees, no
(Street life)
Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale
Only window shopping, it's strictly no sale
(That's a life)
(Street life)
Week end starts, Friday soon after eight
(Street life)
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
(Street life)
You may be stranded if you stick around
Try on your love like a new dress
The fit and the cut, your friends to impress
Try on your smile square on your face
Showing affection should be no disgrace
Try out your God, hope He will send
Kindness from strangers on whom you depend
Try on His coat, a mantle most fine
Myriad colors, His harmony-thine
'Believe in me', once seemed a good line
Now belief in Jesus is faith more sublime
Head in the clouds but I can't see the Lord
Short of perfection, I'll try to be good
I stand at His gate I wait for His sign
Then I walk in His garden when it's my time
Drink from His cup, hush now, don't you cry
His quiet waters will never, never run dry
Nearing death's vale, He's here by my side
He leads me to paradise a mountain so high
Don't be afraid, just treasure His word
Singing His praises, I know that I'll be heard
He's gonna take you by the hand, he's gonna make you feel so good
Open up your eyes and then you'll see all that you should, yeah
Forget all your troubles, you will feel no pain
He's all that you need, he's your everything, yeah
When I'm feeling all at sea, deliverance is that distant shore
I will not be worried, someday His house will be my home
For ever more, for ever more, for ever more
For ever more, for ever more, for ever more
Hey, for ever more, for ever more, for ever more
In Every Dream Home a Heartache
In every dream home a heartache
And every step
I take Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven
I'd like to think so
Standards of living
They're rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It's only a saying
>From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there
Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of its comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float in my new pool
De luxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can't throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I'll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
Flesh And Blood
If you never plan to come out of your shell, you're never gonna get well.
I understand your reasons not to.
What you don't know is what you're afraid of.
And I'm afraid of it to... But can I even talk to you again?
Oh part of me wants to call you up, and talk to you like a friend.
And there's a part of me that wants to shut you out, and never see your face
again.
Chorus
How can we be like enemies when we're only flesh and blood?
What does it take to make your heart bleed, daddy aren't we enough?
You can get through there's nothing stopping you from getting to us
No one can take a way the fact that we're only...flesh and blood
For years I've been following your case, It's the only time I see your face
And we've learned to live without you.
Who you don't know is who you're afraid of
And we're afraid of you too
But will we ever talk to you again?
Oh part of me wants to call you up, just talk to you like a friend
There's a part of me that wants to shut you out, and never see your face again.
Chorus
I want to make you laugh, and I want a chance to know you better.
I want to hear you sing beside me now.
We're just like you.
Chorus
I want to make you laugh, I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now... flesh and blood
I'm a part of you, and I miss you.
A song for you, for only you.
There's a new sensation
A fabulous creation
A danceable solution
To teenage revolution
Do the strand love
When you feel love
It's the new way
That's why we say
Do the strand
Do it on the tables
Quaglino's place or Mabel's
Slow and gentle
Sentimental
All styles served here
Louis seize he prefer
Laissez-Faire Le strand
Tired of the tango
Fed up with my fandango
Dance on moonbeams
Slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans
You know what I mean
Do the strand
Had your fill of quadrilles
The Madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the beguine
The samba isn't your scene
They're playing our tune
By the pale moon
We're incognito
Down the lido
And we like the strand
Arabs at oasis
Eskimos and Chinese
If you feel blue
Look through who's who
See La Goulue
And Nijinsky
Do the strand sky
Weary of the waltz
And mashed potato schmaltz
Rhododendron
Is a nice flower
Evergreen
It lasts forever
But it can't beat strand power
The sphinx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica
Yesterday, when it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said, "It's love", you said, "Alright"
It's funny how, I could never cry
Until tonight, when you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fear
Dance away
Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together, all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark, off the wall
Lit the strobe light up the wall
I close my eyes and dance till dawn
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fear
Dance away, dance away, dance away
Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
Off the street or onto the floor
There was I, many times a fool
I hoped and prayed but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the fears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
You're heard enough of the blues and stuff
You're pretty swell now 'cause you're pretty tough
But I don't have to tell you how hard it can be to get by
You never bothered about anyone else
You're well educated with no common sense
But love that's one thing you really need to get by
All your troubles come from yourself
Nobody hurts you they don't care
Just as long as you show them a really good time
All the things you used to do
A trip to the movies a drink or two they don't satisfy you
They don't tell you anything new
You know I don't talk much except to myself
'Cause I've not much to say and there's nobody else
Who's ready and willing and able to know me
I guess listen to me I'm not finished yet
There's something to tell you that I can't forget
Just have a really good time
There's a girl I used to know her face is her fortune
She's got a heart of gold, she never goes out much
But boy when she does then you know, she's got no money
Well, maybe a dime but she knows what she's worth
And that's reason why she's gonna make it
She's got what it takes you'll appreciate that
She's probably late but I know and you know
Ferry
Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary and there's no escape
When you need your woman you've got to know
How the strong get weak and the rich get poor.
(Slave to love) oh no
(Slave to love) no I can't escape, I'm a slave to love.
You're running with me, you don't touch the ground
We're restless hearted, not the chained and bound
The sky is burning, a sea of flame
Though your world is changing I still be the same.
(Slave to love) oh no
(Slave to love) no I can't escape, I'm a slave to love
(Slave to love) oh no, oh no
(Slave to love) no I can't escape, I'm a slave to love.
The storm is breaking or so it seems
We're too young to reason, too grown up to dream
Now the spring is turning your face to mine
I can hear your laughter, I can still see your smile.
(Slave to love) oh no
(Slave to love) no I can't escape, I'm a slave to love
(Slave to love) oh no
(Slave to love) no I can't escape, I'm a slave to love
(Slave to love) oh no
(Slave to love) I can't escape, I'm a slave to love
(Slave to love) oh no, oh no
(Slave to love) no I can't escape, I'm a slave to love
(Ferry)
I dreamed last night about your face
Your star shone all night
Over the moon it shone brighter
Star shining so bright
You were so pure not for this world
So gentle and light
How could I hear their stories?
They told me not right
Too many times beautiful
Too many times sad
Too many times wonderful
Too bad
Spoken: "But when the party was over, and all was quiet and still,
We walked together in moonlight and looked down over the calm lake,
Hand in hand, the stars in our eyes."
So in my dream you still loved me
Gave time reason last night
But this was only life´s story
Do I ever wonder?
More than words can say
Heaven knows it's
Hard enough to pray
Let me tell you something
There's a change in me
Even now you're gone
You'll always be
My only love, my only love
Only love, my only love
Does it seem so funny
For a fool to cry?
Do you know the
Meaning of goodbye?
There's a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you need to know
You remember me
My only love, my only love
Only love, my only love
Let me tell you something
More than words can say
But they're all I have
No other way
There's a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you find you're
There remember me
My only love, my only love
Only love, my only love
My only love, only love
My only love, only love
My only love, only love
(Ferry)
Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures of living
Your death could not kill our love for you
Take two people - romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Here's looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here's looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time, since we're together
Now I hope it's forever
Ideal love flies away now
White jacket, mmmn, black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson
Here's looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Maybe your heart is aching
I wouldn't know, now would I?
Maybe your spirit's breaking up
I shouldn't care, now should I?
Maybe you're thinking of me
Well, I don't know, now do I?
If only you knew how I feel
Wish I could die, now don't I?
I'm just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Just another high
Couldn't believe in my eyes
You drifted into my life
But marriages, made in Heaven
Can they survive in this life?
Surely it came as no surprise
Love was too hot to handle
Well, I really blew my cool and you
You just blew out the candle
Didn't you just try just another high?
Didn't you sigh as you waved goodbye?
Just another high
I'm just another crazy guy
Playing with love was another high
Such a crazy high
Lately it seems so empty here
But I suppose, I'm alright
Maybe tomorrow's not so clear
Still I remember that night
Singing to you like this is
My only way to reach you
And though I'm too proud to say it
Oh, how I long too see you
Shattered by dreams, by your goodbye
Scattered my hopes and filled the sky
Desolate am I
I'm just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Such a crazy high
Just another high
Just another high
Maybe I should start anew
(Just another high)
And maybe I should find someone who
(Just another high)
Will maybe love me like I love you
(Just another high)
Maybe I'm too stuck on you
(Just another high)
Maybe I got stuck on you
(ferry)
Now the ballroom's empty
Everybody I have known
Has been and gone
With the music over
Here am i
A shadow echoing on
Spin me round...
Now there must be something
In what they say of all things
Great and small
There's dozen roses
Lying almost dying
To say all
Spin me round...
A nether world dancing toy
I'm wired for sound
Does it matter to me
Who turns the key?
Now if life is for living
Then the way is clear
But I don't understand
Why the dream has ended
Yet I can't wake up
Lend a hand -
Well, I'm here looking through an old picture frame
Just waiting for the perfect view
I hope something special will step into my life
Another fine edition of you
A pin up done in shades of blue
Sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life
The country air and all of it? s joys
But badgers couldn? t compensate at twice the price
For just another night with the boys, oh yeah
And boys will be boys, will be boys, yoy yoys
They say love's a gamble, hard to win, easy lose
And while sun shines you'd better make hay
So if life is your table and fate is the wheel
Then let the chips fall where they may
In modern times, the modern way
And as I was drifting past the Lorelei
I heard the sinky sirens wail, whoo
So look out sailor when you hear them croon
You never been the same again, oh no
Their crazy music drives you insane, this way
So love me, leave me, do what you will
Who knows what tomorrow might bring?
Learn from your mistakes is my only advice
And stay cool is still the main rule
Don? t play yourself for a fool
Too much cheesecake too soon
Old money's better than new
No mention in the latest Tribune
Buttercup daisies
And most anything
They wither and fade
After blossom in Spring
Time conquers innocence
Pride takes a fall
In knowledge lies wisdom
That's all
Everything changes
Weather blows hot or cold
Through alchemy iron turns gold
Quicksilver baby
So hard to pin down
Oh when are you coming around?
Hopelessly grounded
I walk through the streets
Remembering how we spent time
Hopefully yearning that someday we'll meet
But when will we, how could we, why? Oh my!
Fashion houses ladies
Need plenty loose change
When the latest creation
Is last year's fab-rave
Thought patterns hazy
This auto-style age
Will lady luck smile old and sage?
She knows that,
Never again, no, will I give up my heart
To gamble with fate is my crime
Nevertheless love, it's all here in my book
I'd write it but don't have much time
You see, I know it sounds crazy
But what can I do?
I've fallen head over heels, over you
Chameleon color
All phases of moon
The shifting of planets
And leopard spots too
As destiny wills it
So seasons will change
(Ferry)
If there is something that I might find
Look around corners
Try to find peace of mind I say
Where would you go if you were me
Try to keep a straight course not easy
Somebody special looking at me
A certain reaction we find
What should it try to be I mean
If there are many
Meaning the same
Be specific just a game
I would do anything for you
I would climb mountains
I would swim all the oceans blue
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I would put roses round our door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score
Shake your hair girl with your ponytail
Takes me right back (when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher (when we were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground

Somebody told me
Just the other day
That you´re leaving me
We´re through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you´d change your mind
I´m sure
Don´t want to hear
What´s going on
I don´t care
What´s new
Don´t want to know
About anything
'cause all I want
Is you
Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don´t want to know
About one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All I want is
The real thing
And a night that lasts
For years.
If you ever change your mind
I´ve a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L´amour, toujours l´amour...
Don´t want to learn
About etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should I try
To talk correct
Like they do
In another scenes
Say no more
About imagery
You´re starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course I can´t refuse
All I want is you
(Ferry)
Do you know what it means to me
To delight in your company
Could it happen to me
Do you know what I´m certain of?
I would love to fall in love
Could it happened to me?
Hey won´t you look at me
Now I'm cracked wide open I can't conceal
My all-over trembling, I'm acting strange
And while you're out of reach, I never change
God knows I'm beside myself
If a tear's a crime, then I must confess
My guilty secret, I'm not ashamed
Take me as I am, an average man
Oh boy is it getting rough
When my old world charm isn't quite enough
I'd throw you cantos, I'd jazz 'em up
When I lay me down, you don't pick up
What's more, it's a crying shame
Only this time no one but myself to blame
All I touch turns to dust
It's right there in my cards, I ought to cut
Let us sing of the tortured heart
And a lonely soul in this world apart
As he plays a fear, takes a little pain
And move our separate ways again
Is it easy to say 'I do'?
At this moment I love you
See beyond me, it's true
Now that evening is closing in
Should I light that fire again?
Could it happen to me?
(ferry)
The bogus man is on his way
As fast as he can run
He´s tired but he´ll get to you
And shoot you with his gun
Focussed his mind
On something he cared about
But it came out a shout
Just like before
The bogus man is at your heels
Now clutching at your coat
You must be quick now hurry up
He´s scratching at your throat
Concealed his doubt
By skilful evasion
But he couldn't find out
About deception
The bogus man is on his way
As fast as he can run
He´s tired but he´ll get to you
The sky is dark
The wind is cold
The night is young
Before it? s old and gray
We will know
The trill of it all
The time has come
It? s getting late
It? s now or never
Don? t hesitate or stall
When I call, don? t spoil
The thrill of it all
And before you go to sleep at night
Preying shadows, do they ask you why?
And in the morning through the afternoon
Do you wonder where you? re going to?
Every word I use
Each crumpled page
Strange ideas
Mature with age
Like leaves
When autumn falls
Turn gold
Then they hit the ground
Every time I hear
The latest sound
It? s pure whiskey
Reeling round and around
My brain
Oh, and all o? that jive
It? s driving me wild
The dizzy spin I? m in
Everywhere I look
I see your face
I hear your name
It? s all over the place
Hey girl
Though you've gone
Still I recall
The trill of it all
You might as well know what is right for you
And make the most of what you like to do
For all the pleasure that? s surrounding you
Should compensate for all you? re going through
So if you? re feeling fraught
With mental strain
Too much thinking? s
Got you down again
Well, let your senses skip
Stay hip
Keep cool
To the thrill of it all
When you try too much
You lose control
Pressure rises
And so I? m told
Something's got the give
Oy Veh
High life ecstasy
You might as well live
I can? t see
I can? t speak
I couldn't take more than another week
Without you, oh no
So I will drink my fill
Till the trill is you
Oh, the thrill of it all
Oh, the thrill of it all
No I won? t forget
The thrill of it all
(Ferry)
You better take what's left
'Cause I'm feeling rough
In dread of the night getting high
And name on the dress
Stretch far too long
But it pleases the mind
And that's nice
Rain rain rain
She put her head on the line
When she come strong
A single girl about town
And she stands or fall
By the way she moves
Ahead of her time
She can't lose
Rain rain rain
You got trouble in mind
Gets deep 'n' worse
Oh please don't stop getting high
You got lust for life
It don't seem to die
Gonna last for ever
Getting high
(Ferry)
In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I`d like to think so
Standards of living
They are rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there
Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of it's comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float in my new pool
Deluxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can't throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I'll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body...
But you blew my mind
Oh Those Heartaches
Dreamhome Heartaches
Oh Those Heartaches
Dreamhome Heartaches
Oh Those Heartaches
Dreamhome Heartaches
Oh Those Heartaches
Can't you hear me talkin' to you?
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator
Dial me a better line
Can't you hear me talkin' to you?
Do telephones make you cry?
I try to write letters
Only my pen runs dry
Though my words sound so confused
The feeling is running strong
Stick tight, operator
Help me to pass it on, oh
A final connection
A bridge before the fall
Receiver unrestin'
I count on your call
Am I just a number to you
A handful of empty sighs?
All night operator
Reader between the lies
With half the world dreamin'
I see through your eyes
A switchboard breathin'
A diary of crossed lines
Can't you hear me talkin' to you?
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator
Dial me better line
If you feel me driftin' away
Slippin' into my song
All night operator
When she walks in the room, then you know
Why your date says it's late, time to go
And you know you can't leave, you must stay
Till her laughter has drifted away
So you talk to the walls, always know
'Cause they've seen it all and heart it all before
And your fair weather friends, fail to speak
They're so afraid still waters run deep
And they're don't understand or perceive
That you can't see the wood for the trees
Christmas trees, you were sure, weren't the sort
To build up your hopes then sell you short
Yeah, to build you up and sell you short
All your life you were taught to believe
Then a moment of truth, you're deceived
All the wine in your life's all dried up
Is now the time to give up?
Like the soft paper cup that you squeeze
So you take this and that and then some more
And you make your way through the door
You make up your way through the door
Through the door, through the door
When she walks in the room
When she walks in the room
When she walks in the room
When she walks in the room
When she walks in the room
When she walks in the room
When she walks in the room
When she walks in the room
My girl Friday, she no square
She like a lotus blossom in her hair
Be-bop records and something new
Sometimes borrowed but she's never blue
Oh no, not Tokyo Joe
Way past midnight, she not home
She cut the ice down the Danger Zone
Water-tight dresses, she don't care
A trifle risque, a tart, no sir
Oh no, sounds like Tokyo Joe
Geisha girl show you she adore you
Two oriental eyes implore you
Femme fatal or ingenuous?
She's very cunning, fiendish clever
Geisha girl suffer many times a fool
Sayonara moon
When all the world's a stage
Oh where are you?
Tokyo Rose on the radio
Or Diz an' Bird puttin' on the moan
Tappin' out telexes to Tupelo
Dear John, doh ray me fah so?
Let's go, call for Tokyo Joe
Walkin' tall down the Danger Zone
She hokey-cokey till the cows come home
Big shot from the hip neon cool
Say, when you've been around, what's left to do?
Don't know? Ask Tokyo Joe
So inscrutable her reply
"Ask me no question, I will tell you no lie"
GL boys howlin' out for more
VIP'S purrin', "Je t'adore"
Tick, tick, time, it don't mean nothing
Evil eye me high above
Tick, tick, time and time is money
Deep inside you can't deny my love
Gemini moon
Gemini moon
Tick, tick, time, o, mad desire
Black cat bone moanin'
Tick, tick, time, o, light the fire
Deep inside you can't deny my love
The hanged man card
The sacrifice
The change of heart
Gemini moon
Gemini moon
Tick, tick, time, the toil and trouble
Jet black coal, my soul on fire
Tick, tick, time, my mind is rocking
Deep inside you can't deny my love
My love
Gemini moon
My love
Gemini moon, my love
My love
Gemini moon, my love
Gemini moon, my love
(ferry)
One across you wake up
Two down's asleep
Three days a week you're laughing
Before you weep
I got your number
From up above
Four letter love
Four letter love
Down to the letter
Oh you'd better
Count on love
Once I was so lonely
Twice as bad as blue
Three times I burned my fingers
Nearly put the shine on you
Now living's easy
Fit like a glove
Four letter love
Four letter love
Turn on the power
With your four letter love
So listen all you lovers
Tell you what I'd do
Just say you're willin'
And count the killin'
I'm holding down on you
1...2...3...
Four letter love
Don't waste a minute
It's wise to get in a
Party of five for love
So you say
You're living just for fun
Isn't it enough?
So you say
You wait oh will it come
Isn't it enough?
You're a prisoner of loving
You're chained and bound
I could never be the one
In the moonlight and the sun
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
You and me
We're just like night and day
The here and now
The ghost of yesterday
Hack and tear
We're prisoners of loving
We're chained and bound
There's a road I've got to take
A thread, a thread you got to break
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Oh Mamouna
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Oh Mamouna, Mamouna run
Are you still cutting it on the street?
Do you, do you make savage love when you meet?
In the zigzag shadows that promise much
Don't talk about it, show me, talkin' about it's easy
Don't talk about it, love me up
Is that lightning exciting ya quite as much?
Would I could feel it, would I could touch
Don't talk about it, it's not the same
Love me madly once again
Don't make it easy for me, some like it tough you see
Loving is easy for me
A whole lotta love has passed this way, this way
Don't talk about it, show me, talkin' about it, easy
Don't talk about it, love me up
Is it as passionate as it seemed?
Was it for real or some kind of dream?
Don't talk about it, it's not the same
Love me madly once again
And should we meet again?
Uncertain, out of reach, on the other side of time
Barriers broken, thoughts entwine
Never words spoken, love me madly again
And who can draw the line
A strand from me to you, a world apart, a smile
Loving is easy, hard to end
Love letters tearing, love me madly again
And when you find the time
Let's share a silk caress somewhere for a while
Mirror to mirror, frame on frame
Within' without you, love me madly again
Well, I rush out blazin'
My pulse is racin'
As the rain streams down my face
There's no turning back now
To fight with fate
Outnumbered an' out of place
They said,"Go west young man, that's best
It's there you'll feel no pain"
Bel-Air's okay if you dig the grave
But I want to live again
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must stop ridin' like the storm
Can't let go
Will I run out of control tonight?
Can't let go
Until every trace is gone
It's a winding road from Cuesta way
Down sunset to the beach
Though Canoga Park is a straight safe drive
It's too far outta reach
But now the headlights are flashin' by so fast
All directions seems the same
And the windscreen wipers keep a beat repeatin'
You can't let go again
What's in a name on the street tonight
I'm only a face in the crowd
I'm all in the dark and afraid tonight
There's nowhere to run or to hide
But I can't let go, no, no, no
Sometimes the world outside'll take you in
With just a smile
And you're so blinded with desire
A hundred sleepless nights have left me
Wasted and so cold
But I can take it I'm hangin' on
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must stop ridin' it like the storm
Can't let go
Will I run out of control tonight?
Can't let go
Until every trace is gone
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
