So many years to go by
So many tears can fill your eyes
So many fears to lock behind the door
So you drift away
And yet another day
Day goes by
Empty as before
I'll be there
Come the mornin' light
Waitin' there
I'll wait for you
She only needs someone
She only needs some time
She only needs someone
To stay this time
She's waiting for love to come
She waits there on her own
She's waiting for someone
To get it right this time
So many days drift by
Oh, there's too many ways to slowly die
How may shadows fade across the wall
Baby, soon the day will come
You may find someone
Only now
Lonely evermore
She's still there
Come the morning light
She's waiting here
She waits for you
She only needs someone
She only needs some time
She only needs someone
To stay, stay this time
She's waiting for love to come
She waits there on her own
She's waiting for someone
Every day I wake to find
Empty arms, shuttered blinds
No-one holding to my side
Laying in my lonely bed
Confused about the things we said
Nothing’s straight in my mind
Can’t stand waiting, anticipating
Being here without you
Waiting for love
I’m waiting for love
A prisoner in an ivory tower
Stranded in my darkest hour
All the broken bridge of sighs
If it’s true then love has lied
If it’s true my heart will cry
No-one else can make it right
Can’t stand waiting, anticipating
Being here without you
If only I could see you
My heart will always need you
Here I stand, heart in hand for you
Waiting for love, waiting for love
Waiting for love, I’m just waiting for your love
Can’t stand waiting, anticipating
Here I stand, heart in hand
Waiting on you
I’m just waiting for your love
Well I’m waiting for your love
Waiting for your love
Now I’m waiting
I need it, I need it
Waiting for love
Oh your love
Now give it, give me your love
I wake in the night
to find you on my mind
Deep in a dream
you'll always be
until the end of time
I look in your eyes
they touch my soul
My love is hard to hide
I'm never alone when we're apart
I feel you by my side
And here in my heart
where no one else will ever be
I know who you are
so lock the door
and throw away the key
Save all your love
Save your love for me
When I'm alone at night
you're all I see
I wake from a dream
and see you by my side
How could I belong to someone else
when holdin' you feels so right?
And here in my heart
where no one else will ever be
We've made it so far
so lock the door
and throw away the key, yeah
Save all your love
Save your love for me
When I'm alone at night
you're all I see
Save all your love
Save your love for me
Don't turn your back on me
You're all I need (I need)
Save all your love
(save all your love)
Save your love
(baby save all your love)
Young boy, a hard, gin, ride
On the loose again
Live fast to play both sides
I'm out to win
I'm no loser
I have nothing to lose
My life ain't easy
But it's mine to use
Raised on the streets
I know
To get what you want
You gotta take control
I'm on the run, bad boys
I'm on the loose, bad boys
I'm on my way, I've paid my dues
Pull of the trigger, time starts to crawl
Two lives have ended
When the hammer falls
Raised on the streets
I know
To get what you want
You gotta take control
The lost years were long
Each night was cold
The way I felt
Feel the snow
I've done my time
Paid what I owed
Don't want those walls
Of steel and stone
I put myself behind the wall
(Page, Plant)
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
Hammer of the Gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry:
";Valhalla I am coming.";
On we sweep with, with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!.
An' we come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you better stop
And rebuild all your ruins.
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ah hah hah hah hah hah.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh.
There's always more than meets the eye
Sometimes a smile can hide a lie
Learnt me the hard way, don't it show
So listen up and you will know
Baby's got a set of wheels
She knocks me off my feet
Ooh, she's got me burnin'
Cruisin' down the street
I gotta have that girl to ease my achin' love
Oh, won'tcha take me for a ride
She says, "I gotta steal her stars from above"
She says, "I gotta did her diamonds from the mine
Before she'll, now that's cold hearted lovin'"
Now papa told me what to do
Go find a love, pure and true
I know how lovin' ought to be
Hey girl, whatcha see in me?
Baby's got me scratchin' like a dog outside her door
Ooh, she's got me slavin' and I can't take no
More, more, more, more
(Tony Joe White)
If I ever saw a good thing
Baby it's you
If I ever had a sweet dream
Baby it's you
There ain't nothing else I want to do
But spend my time lovin' you
If I ever saw a good thing
Baby it's you
They say that one time in your life
You'll find the one
Who'll stand beside you
No matter where you go
And I know that must be true
'Cause baby I found you
If I ever saw a good thing
Baby it's you
You know that everybody needs
Someone to love
'Cause it's a lonesome soul
Who walks alone
But I don't know what I'd do
Baby if I didn't have you
'Cause it's a long and lonesome road
To walk alone
If I ever saw a good thing
Baby it's you
If I ever had a sweet dream
Baby it's you
(music & lyrics: Floyd Rose and K.J.)
She was just sixteen, she was so sweet and clean
she walked just like she know where she'd been.
She set my blood on fire, I said ";Are you for hire?";
That's when she turned on me and screamed:
";That ain't no way to treat a lady,
that ain't no way to treat a lady.";
She had a Southern smile, had a New York style,
I couldn't let her get away.
She was the girl of my dreams,
and because I was mean, I had to listen to her say
I had to have her bad, but she left me mad;
that ain't the way it should be.
I'm gonna find that girl, take her around the world,
I'm gonna love her 'till she screams...
Come the mornin' don't ya wake me
I'll be dreamin' that I'm free
Come the daybreak don't ya shake me
send me back to misery
Cause I'm dealin' with a devil
with no help from above
I'm stealin' with the devil
through this house of broken love
Takin' chances with you baby
I saw something in your eyes
And though no one else could blame me
there were signs I shoulda recognized
Now I'm dealin' with a devil
with no help from above
I'm sleepin' with the devil
in this house of broken love
If you don't wanna lose my lovin'
use it constantly
If it's gonna be lies, suspicious eyes
baby oh baby set me free
When the night falls and she's leavin'
ooh the moon shines cold and grey
Hear my heartbeat yeah yeah hear my weepin'
pain and sorrow's here to stay
I begged you baby help me
but you turned your back on me
You didn't even listen
you should have set me free
Now I'm leavin' with the devil
gonna leave this search for love
Leavin' with the devil
(Kendall, Russell, Holland, Black)
Every life has a price, every fool throws the dice
Even the winners have to pay. Every dog has its day
So watch out, watch what you do.
Someone's lookin' for you
It's the law of the land. Every fire burns a hand
Every chance that you take might turn out to be your last mistake
Streetkiller
Lay down your life, you'll pay the price
Lay down your life, you're in his sights
Streetkiller
...He's lookin' for you
...He's out for your blood
...He's playing your game
Needle and Spoon
...He's hard on your arse
Streetkiller
Closing your eyes to the truth that surrounds you
Won't make life easy to take
Filling your heart with the hate that inflames you
Just makes it burn out and break
Want someone to love you?
Want someone to care?
Want someone there by your side?
But you're building walls of plaster
Building walls of bone
Now there's nowhere left to hide
No better than hell, no, the way that you feel
No better than hell, no, the way that you are
Waiting all time for a soul to embrace you
Just makes you lonely and old
Turning your back on the lover who needs you
Turns the world slowly and cold
Want someone to love you?
Want someone to care?
Want someone there by your side?
But you're living off disaster
Living on your own
While everyone's taking their sides
No better than hell, no, the way that you feel
No better than hell, no, the way that you are
Want someone to love you?
Want someone to care?
Want someone there for a friend?
But you're burning all your bridges
Burning down your home
Burning the wax at both ends
No better than hell, no, the way that you feel
No better than hell, no, the way that you are
No better than hell, no, the way that you feel
No better than hell, no, the way that you are
(Bitch: Jagger/Richards It's Only Rock 'n' Roll: Jagger/Richards Women: M. Jones)
I'm feeling so tired, can't understand it
Just had a full night's sleep
I'm feeling so stuck, I'm so distracted
Ain't touched a thing all week
I'm feeling drunk baby, too stoned and sloppy
Ain't touched a drink all night
I'm feelin' hungered, can't see the reason
Just had an all-meat pie
Girl when you call my name
I salivate like Pavlov's dog
Girl when you lay me out
My heart is beatin' louder than a big bass drum, oh right
Now you got the mix
and Audie you got the sticks
Love is a bitch
Yeah you got the mix
Audie you got the sticks boy
But love is just a bitch, oh yeah
She's just a bitch, baby
If I could sing you,
If I could sing you a love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheatin' heart
Or would you think this boy's insane
He's insane
I'm talkin' 'bout the women
all around the world
Women behind bars
Women in fast cars
Women in distress
I like a lady with no dress
Women in aeroplanes
Women who play their games
Women in a uniform
See the woman with her clothes torn
Women who satisfy
Women you can't buy
Like the women in a magazine
And them ladies in the limousine
Women who sip champagne
Women who feel no pain
Women in a disco
Women that don't want to know, know, know
Women wanting sympathy
Women feelin' ecstacy
Women that live in a fantasy
About bringin' a man right down to his knees, yeah
Women that fall in love
Women that need a shove
Women that can't be beat
Check out that lady in my back seat
Women in the U.S.A.
The women steal your heart away
Women into rock 'n' roll
Or the ladies in the back of the bus after the show
Women that we write songs about
Women that turn around and kick you out
Women you dream about all your life
Women that stab you in the back with a switchblade knife
Yeah you got a mix
and Audie you got the sticks boy
But love is a bitch
Yeah you got a mix
Audie, you got the sticks baby
But love is a bitch, all right
She's a real cool bitch
She's a nasty bitch, yeah
Ain't love a bitch
(Rose, K.J.)

Well, I used to work the graveyard
Used to have to paint the stones
Now I clean the farmyard
Have to lick it clean alone
I got a wife and kid
Sharin' an econoline
We keep the sucker hid
Underneath the Hollywood sign
You know I do alright
Oh yeah, and it's okay
I'd like to kill the light
I'd love to sleep all day
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.
And I used to have a penthouse
I used to have a wife like you
Now I keep the door locked
Her attorney's tryin' to break in to
Everyone's aboard
It's quite the social set
And they leave me Polaroids
Of everyone I never met
You know they do alright
It's the all American way
They like to stay all night
Oh, they love to drink all day
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.
Purple mountain majesty
Crumble into the sea
Spirit of the spacious skies
Shine your grace on me
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.
Livin' in a dream
Livin' in the U.S.A.
Livin' in a dream
Found myself inside an empty room
Waitin' for the beast to make a move
Ridin' through the TV air
The devil makes his playground anywhere
One day little baby
Don't you be surprised
But I'll be gone
You know that's true
Meantime all my friends are comin' down
Overshootin' exits outta town
Trapped in cans inside of traffic stacks
As the bright lights call them back
To Psycho City
Psycho City
Someday if the smoke clears from your eye
You'll recognize your helter skelter life
One day little baby
You gonna realize
Right from wrong
It'll come right to ya
Meanwhile as the band is goin' on
Double-crossin' dodges get it on
Complicatin' every little fact
Don't ever turn your back
On Psycho City
Psycho City
Someday as I make my way by song
I'll find out where I should belong
Jump my wheels right off the twisted track
'Cause I'm never goin' back
To Psycho City
Psycho City
Oh Psycho City
(Ham)
No matter what you are
I will always be with you
'Cause no matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl, with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Ooh girl, want you
Knock down the old, grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go
There would always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl
Ooh girl, want you
(Kendall, Russell, Niven)
I been hanging my life from a frayed tight wire
I been walkin' thin ice with my heels on fire
Keep racing my heart so the beat won't miss me
Still wanting a night when the stars will kiss me
I got too much time
I don't know who's alive
Never satisfied
Livin' on the edge
The edge of time
waiting for a perfect crime
Livin' on the edge
Everyone I see's got the cool cold shoulder
Just hangin' around gettin' slow and older
Like a little girl suckin' chemical cola
strung out on lies that the T.V. sold her
I got too much time
I don't know who's alive
Livin' on the edge
Edge of time
[Instrumental]
As the light calls back the shadows she rises from her chair
Puts away the past and looks into the mirror
The faces she sees so empty hardly recognised
But the tears of a heart left broken linger in her eyes
Got to find a way, some way to ease the pain
With her hand on the trigger, hand on her heart
Just one shot for love, one last shot for love, one more shot for love
She dreams of times remembered but those were better days
When the love they shared ran true and clear like the lines on an empty page
It's funny how it changes she sees how love is blind
With the nights she spends now waiting forever on her mind
Got to find a way, some way to ease the pain
She's had herself enough, she's going to have her day
Got her hand on the trigger, hand on her heart
Just one shot for love, one last shot for love, one more shot for love
Yes she feels so helpless like she's outside of herself
Visions of a life denied raging on and on inside
Got to find a way, some way to ease the pain
She's had herself enough, she's going to have her day
With her hand on the trigger, hand on her heart
Just one shot for love, one more shot for love
Got her hand on the trigger, hand on her heart
Just one shot for love, one more shot for love, one last shot for love
With a hand on her heart
With a hand on her heart
With a hand on her heart
(Ian Astbury / Billy Duffy)
Fell to the red room because she was there
Scarlet woman, she got me to feel her, yeah, yeah, yeah
She said, do all those things that you do to me
Do you know what I mean, boy
Do all those things that you do to me, yeah

Verse 1:
For the times You've been right by my side
to show me the way;
You've shown Your love toward me
each and every day.
Verse 2:
I found Him to be a friend when I needed one,
found Him to be a counselor when times were hard,
He lifted my spirit when I was feeling low;
oh, oh, thank You, Lord.
Chorus:
Thank You, thank You,
thank You, thank You, Lord.
Thank You, thank You,
oh, oh, thank You, Lord.
Vamp:
You've been a friend when I needed one.
You've been a counselor when the times were hard.
You lifted my spirit when I'm feeling low;
oh, oh thank You, Lord.
Ending
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin'
I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through
Tangled up in blue
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess
But I used a little too much force
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin' away
I heard her say, over my shoulder
We'll meet again someday on the avenue
Tangled up in blue
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
I never did like it all that much
And one day the axe just fell
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I was lucky to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside of Delacroix
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind and I just grew
Tangled up in blue
She was workin' in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear
And later on the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same
She was standing there in back of my chair
Sayin', Jackie, don't I know your name?
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath
She studied the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Tangled up in blue
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
I thought you'd never say hello, she said, you look like the silent type
Then she opened up a book of poems and handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet from the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Tangled up in blue
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
And one day finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue
So now I'm goin' back again
I got to get to her somehow
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
I know you think that you're one bad mother
Got no time for a rock 'n roll lover
You strut around like the original Queen of Sheeba
To I love you, you reply with, "See ya"
But this is how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I know you won't come easily
But you're gonna give your love to me
This is how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I know your life is runnin' free
But you're gonna give your love to me
You got that face for a part in a devil's dream
You got that shape from a deal with a voodoo fiend
One of a kind, there surely ain't no other
(Young, Young, Scott)
Diamonds and dust
Poor man last, rich man first
Lambourginis, caviar
Dry martinis, Shangri-la
I got a burning feeling
Deep inside of me
Let your love run
I'm going to set it free
I'm going in to sin city
I'm gonna win in sin city
The lights are bright
Through the town tonight
I'm gonna win in sin city
Ladders and snakes
Ladders give, snakes take
Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief
Ain't got a hope in hell, that's my belief
Fingers Freddy, Diamond Jim
Get ready, I'm coming in
So spin that wheel, cut that rack
And roll those loaded dice
Bring on the dancing girls
And put the champaign on ice
All right yeah
Sippin' down shoutin' 'bout, yeah
We used to shake it out
Those days, now I remember
When anything was all right
Someone had my video
Blastin' through the radio
Neighbors screamin' out
"What the hell is going on here"
We were already gone
With a whole lot to go
When the police showed
I told 'em kiss my ass
So young, livin' to die
And I was on my own
Two wrongs making a right
I was rollin' stoned
Rich is building houses
Gary's doing hard time
Jamie's in the desert
And Brently bought a gun
I saw an old photograph
All that I could do was laugh
And scratch my head in wonder
Where did all the days go?
We were already gone
With nowhere to go, oh no
I was singing my songs
With a heart and soul
So young, I was livin' to die
I was rollin' stoned
Two wrongs making a right
I was rollin' stoned, yeah
It's a wonder I'm alive
Can't believe I ever made it through that ride
Rockin' all over the night
I was rollin' stoned, yeah yeah
So young, livin' to die
I was rollin' stoned
Two wrongs making a right
I was rollin' stoned, yeah
Damn good to be alive
Wonder how I ever managed to survive
Rockin' all over the night, I was rollin' stoned
Stoned, stoned, stoned, yeah
Sippin' down, shoutin' 'bout
Yeah we used to shake it out
Rich is building houses
Gary's doing hard time
Brently bought a gun
Where did all the days go
Rollin' stoned
(Kendall, Niven)
Adrift out on an open sea
A life raft seekin' company
Sailing on a sea insane
Rolling with the waves of pain
Chance determines destiny
Tide can be the enemy
When the moon is shining bright
It hangs there like a becon light
Your're looking for a place to stay
A place to leave another day
Water leaves no trace behind
Of all the ways your life unwinds
So sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
As you come you come alone
All you are is what you know
Dependent on your memory
Remember who you used to be
Reason is a raging wind
Beating on your weathered skin
Confusion is the tidal flow
Pulls you like an undertow
Adrift out on a sea of tears
Navigating by your fears
Searching in the stars above
A way to find your isles of love
So sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
A sea of faces flow by me
Islands of identity
Isolated constantly
No ones's where he ought to be
So sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
(Page, Plant)
It's been a long time since I rock an' rolled.
It's been a long time since I did the stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Mm-baby where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.
It's been a long time since the book of love.
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
A-carry me back, carry me back, carry me back,
Mm-baby where I come from. Whoah~ooh~oh ~whoah~ooh~ooh~hohh.
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Ahhh-ahh~ahh ahh~ahh.
Hohhh, it seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
A-makin' vows that just couldn't work right.
Hahh-yeah! Open your arms, open your arms, open your arms,
Mm-baby let my love come runnin' in. Let it!
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Yeah~hey.
Yeah~ay~ay.
Yeah hey.
Yeah hey.
Ooh-yeah, ooh~ooh-yeah.
Ooh-yeah, ooh~ooh-yeah.
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
(Ralphs)
Walkin' down this rocky road
Wonderin' where my life is leadin'
Rollin' on to the bitter end
Findin' out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know how it feels, my friend
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Now I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now they're changing
You should know that I'm not afraid
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Oh, I'm ready for your love
I get up in the morning, just to work all day.
I never had no vacation, and what's a holiday?
I'm tired of workin' 9 to 5. Sombody give me a break.
Caught up in this rat race, I've got no time to waste.
I want out (you can't make it)
I want out (no way)
I want out (so don't mistake it)
It's all that you've got and your not gonna leave it, no way.
There's no way.
Maybe I'll buy me a new car.
Maybe I'll hop on a plane.
Get off in some foreign station,
Somwhere that don't look the same.
You're stuck in a rut. No, no, you can't give it up.
There's no way.
(Lardie, Niven)
Lit a candle and I
Set it on the wall
Let the wax like teardrops fall
And then I wonder why
I used to dream on baby
Dream that we could have it all
I see now love for you
Was what you had to do
You change your mind
Like you change your dress
I thought I knew you everyway
Saw the child, the woman plain as day
I thought I knew myself
But now I come to find
Love is blind and I'm the lovin' kind
Bought a diamond and I
Set it on your hand
Introduced you to the band
And now I hear them say
You've been a bad girl baby
You don't seem to understand
Just for the social whirl
You play the party girl
Now you drink your wine
Oh baby time to forget
You made a game of love
What were you thinkin' of
It takes a heartbeat baby
To say goodbye
(Kendall, Russell, Niven)
Howling night of bitter winds
This old house is burnin'
Reasons why forever retold
and no one is learning
I stand in the strange light
in a world with no eyes
Miss a turn in the midnight rain
never come this way again
When loves light deserts you
never change your heart
When lightning strikes and love is gone
don't let it break your heart
Don't let it turn you 'round
so people mistake you
this worlds gonna still burn down
no matter what it comes to
Return what you're given
then be on your way
Move on. Be strong
You gotta carry on
Never change your heart
On the horizon there's a storm on the rise
Black seas are forming there's terror in the skies
My life has been a river headed for a fall
These days I can never child make sense of it all
My world is hanging on a line
Here in my world, my world
Searching for some peace in time
My world is darker every day
Here in my world, my world
I can't find a meaning in the season of the time
I'm standing on the edge waiting for a sign
But I just can't go on this way
I don't believe I'll stay, just won't stay
My world is hanging on a line
Here in my world, my world
Looking for some love this time
My world is smaller every day
Here in my world, my world
My world my world
My world is hanging on a line
Here in my world, my world
Searching for some peace in time
My world is colder every day
Here in my world, my world
My world my world
My world my world
This is my world
This is my world
Wheels keep on rolling, mindless of our flight
Our sounds like in slumber, we head into the night
The city’s so familiar, like a long lost friend
With open arms that shelter me and bring me home to them
And we’re miles away
Always miles away, yeah
Rolling on down the highway
Living for the day
Seems I’m always miles away
Just outside of Memphis, where rock n’ roll began
We say a prayer for Elvis, then on the road again
The mind begins to wander as memories unfold
The music on the radio reminds us of our homes
And we’re miles away
Always miles away, yeah
Rolling on down the highway
Living for the day
Seems I’m always miles away
Sometimes it seems the road will never end
Sometimes it seems my only friend, yeah, yeah, yeah
What will tomorrow tell, I just can’t seem to tell
Cos I’m always miles away, miles away
The one I left at home took his first steps today
I watch him on the video before I leave to play
Cos we’re miles away
Always miles away
Rolling on down the highway
Living for the day
Seems I’m always miles and
Miles away
Always miles away, oh yeah
All of my life is rolling
I’m living just to play
Seems I’m always miles away
Yeah, seems I’m always miles away
Seems I’m always miles away
My heart is empty like cold open ground
Where ghosts and memories follow you round
Replacing old friends no more to be found
All gone their ways with the new stars in town
All of their laughter has drifted away
Gone with the wind like yesterday's song
Gone with the wind like yesterday's song
Gone, gone with the wind, oh
There's no sign of the lover who pins butterflies
No sign of fair-weather, no sweet soundin' lies
Now I'm a stranger, my eyes are set free
Like a man on a mountain, oh how I can see?
All the ways illusions deceive
In a city of prayers where no one believes
When all of your dreams have scattered away
Gone with the wind like yesterday's song
Gone with the wind like yesterday's songs
(Kendall, Lardie, Niven, Russell)
Free me from this restless curse
That follows me through the dark
Bring back an innocence
A strength to fill my heart
In this world of emptiness
That I have come to know
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes open
Then the wind whispers and sighs
Love is a lie
My bird of paradise
Colored in blues and gold
She's got a soul on ice
And calculation cold
This bird of avarice
Has left me now I know
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes are open
When the wind whispers and sighs
Love is a lie
So breathe a last and broken sigh
Oh silent night come now to me
And if I dream of light come down
And be with me and in the dark we will not see
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes open
When the wind whispers and cries
Love is only a lie, only a lie
(Dewar, Trower)
Lady love, I heard a voice and it soothed me
Lady love, a simple tune and it moved me
Move me and sooth me
Leading me home
Too late for me now
Lady love
Lady love, a mans a fool to be leaving
Dreams of love, passing by like the seasons
Maybe I'll wake up
Oh tell me I will
Find you there waiting
Lady love
Lady love, I need some warm and tender
nights of love, sweet and fine to remember
Maybe tomorrow, your fever will find me
Waiting for me now
Lady love
Well, I found a new way
Not the way the old folks tried
Well, I'm pushing harder
Got my sights set for the sky
I live my life on the run
I do my time on my own
If you get too close
You can steal my heart
So you want me back now
Sorry, baby, I can't stay
You had your chance, girl
But you threw it threw it away
I tried to make you mine
You wouldn't give me the time
I don't want to feel that pain any more
The last time, the last time, the last time I fall
The last time, the last time, the last time I fall
Well I'm on my way
I've got no time to lose today
I tried to make you mine
You wouldn't give me the time
I don't want to feel that pain any more
Pain any more
The last time, the last time, the last time I fall
The last time, the last time, the last time I fall
The last time, the last time, the last time I fall
The last time, the last time, the last time I fall
The last time, the last time, the last time I fall
The last time, the last time, the last time I fall
The last time, the last time, the last time
The last time, it's the last time that I'll fall
(Kendall, Lardie, Niven, Russell)
I don't want the rap that yer layin'
Don't give me no abuse
I don't want no motormouth jivin'
Another lame excuse
I don't want my head to keep sayin'
Oh baby what's the use
I don't want no patter, no way
I want you
I don't want no mommasan preyin'
To strip me to the bone
I don't want no hustle today
Leave my vibe alone
I don't want to worry 'bout nothin'
There's nothin' I must own
I don't want to deal that way
I want you
I love lovin'
Oh yeah, lovin' is fine
Why no love
Why waste your time
Gotta give it someway
Can ya hold out alone
Ooo just a little lovin'
It's alright let it go
I don't want another dog makin'
Another big pretense
I don't wanna be brought down
On a capital offense
I don't want no pressure drop baby
Don't make it so intense
I don't want no promise, no way
I want you
It's only lovin' baby
Get it back down the road
Yes it comes back
Like a magic motherload
Make a lovin' man
Make him know it's alright
Ooo, that givin' love
Gonna get us thru the night
I don't want the song you keep playin'
All lovers are insane
I don't want my heart to be breakin'
I want you
I don't want the trouble of lovin'
And here it comes again
I don't want the game you like playin'
I want you
Slow blues can turn her on
But let me tell you she's a whole lotta woman
When the band rocks on watch her move for the backstage door
The show may be over now she's gonna get some more
She says, "I know what I want, I know just what I need
You got nowhere to run I'm gonna get you", she says
"You got nowhere to hide, I'm gonna getcha
I'm gonna get you down"
Now it's late, oh but she don't care
We got a whole lotta waiting so we can make it next year
Yeah she knows, she knows it's hit and run
But she wants to ride a rocket into the midnight sun
She says, "I know what I want, I know just what I need
You got nowhere to run I'm gonna get you", she says
"You got nowhere to hide I'm gonna gonna getcha
I'm gonna get you down"
She do what she wants
She gets just what she needs
"You got nowhere to run I'm gonna get you", she says
"You got nowhere to hide I'm gonna gonna getcha"
You got nowhere to run I'm gonna get you", she says
"You got nowhere to hide I'm gonna gonna getcha
I'm gonna get you down, get, get, get you down, oh yeah
(Kendall, Russell, Niven, Lardie)
I had a woman, gave her all of my lovin'
Gave her all that I had
Kinda' woman she could make you believe her
Nothing's gonna go bad
Took awhile, and all the hurtin'
Since she left and went away
Behind her smile though I can't be certain
But I thought I heard her say
My heart's a hunter
And love is a loser's game
My heart's a hunter
And love is a loser's game
Little baby I won't give ya no heartaches
I won't give ya no pain
Sweet little darlin' can't ya see what is comin'
Cause ya know me by name
Used to be when I was a child
I thought lovin' should be free
And it's so hard to be reconciled
That ain't the way it oughta be
It's only lovin' when she's gone and she's left ya
It goes to show it's always something
That I felt when I met ya
It comes and it goes
I ride alone tonight
So bittersweet
I took a chance
I tried to love her
Someone whispered her name
Heartbreaker
You might notice if you look
I'm getting loose tonight
Well I'm a man of action
It gives me the right
To live it to the limit
Or rip it to the ground
If you're looking for trouble
You're going to find me around
There ain't enough tomorrows
I'm living for today
So come on and love me
Get your shot tonight
Don't bother loosening
I like it tight
I'll take you any time of night or day
But don't get used to that, I never stay
Hard and cold, giving you a warning
Hard and cold, your turn tonight
Hard and cold, it's my war on these streets tonight
Hard and cold, giving you a warning
Hard and cold, your turn tonight
Hard and cold, it's my war on these streets tonight
Hard and cold
Hard and cold
(Kendall, Niven, Russell)
Been thinkin' now what I should do
I gotta decide
Waitin' here on the likes o' you
My Thursday child
I'll face the music that I hear in my head
As the night rolls by
Song of a drifter lost to the road
Tryin' to reach for the sky
Gotta get on the road
Gotta long way to go
Gotta get on home
Gotta get on the road
Gotta long way to go
Gotta get on home
So nothin' lasts n' I can't change
Been this way too long
Love burns so fast when you see the flame
Y'gotta let it shine on
God only knows it's hard to find
Ooo a place to belong
And as you grow to find your way
Ya have to move on
So I go my way like a shadow at night
Like a name on the wind
I'll sail away to an ocean of love
Oh let the tide roll in
Gotta get on the road
Gotta long way to go
Gotta get back home
Gotta get on the road
Gotta long way to go
Gotta get back home
Like a river runnin' outta the snow
Down to the ocean I'll go
Like a river with a soul of its own
I gotta let my love flow
I don't want to face the day the day, today
Long nights leave me stranded
Black visions, danger signs
No love- I need protection
Feels like I'm on a production line
Daggers of dawn, cold hearted day
Why does if have to be morning?
Cover my head, stayin' in bed
Too late the luckless warning
Outside the screaming city
Red lights, hungry eyes
Sucks like a space invader
The vacuum of its lies
Stealin' my strength, stealin' my time
It's raining in a world of traders
Let me keep on sleeping
Forget that I'm alone
One day of faceless living-
is twenty-four hours too long
I don't want to face the day
Give me the night, it's more forgiving
Hold back the light from my eyes
Please stay invisible darkness
can't see the tears that I cry
I know it's comin', loaded with nothing
Trapped in a tunnel of time
I don't want to face the day
There she goes, Miss Heartattack
That girl is gone, ain't comin' back
Love we had, call it yesterday
But now is now, today's today
And when the sun is shinin'
I still feel the same
And when the rain is comin' down
I'm hurtin' with the pain
I've been here before
No love, no way, no more
Am I just a fool to fall for love
Put my heart in gunnysack
Dress it up in black on black
Take it down to Congo Square
Raise it from the dead down there
And when the sun is shinin'
I will feel no pain
And when that rain is pourin' down
(Jupp)
Leavin' the show
Still feel alive
Want a place to go now
Round about five
Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Come on down to the doctor
Make me feel good all night
Everybody needs a shot of R 'n B
So come on down to my surgery
Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Make you feel good all night
Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Down on the doctor
Make me feel good all night
Come on here baby
Won't do you no harm
I just want to shoot
Some rock 'n roll in your arm
Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Make you feel good all night
(Kendall, Lardie, Niven)
Hey, hey, momma, well my box don't play
My strings is rusted, they're all frayed away
Hey, hey what now, my drive is shot
I'm all tied up inside a misery knot
Ain't no dancin', got no tango feet
I'm jammin' traffic down on my love street
Now I don't know what I ought to do
I've lost the lock on my groove with you
So what now honey, so I'm screwed up too
But I can't fit without my piece of you
Without your touch I won't pull through
I burn a fever like a hoodoo stew
So doctor me, baby, down to my soul
I need love to break its stranglehold
Doctor me baby, down to my soul
I need a love to bring me out of the cold
Well there ain't no words that I know to say
To make it better lord in any way
Sister, Sister, my need is you
This heart is hopin' you can treat it too
See my blood's on fire, yet I feel so cold
Oh baby touch me, make this feelin' go
Can't you see what you need to do
I feel better when I'm touched by you
So doctor me baby, down to my soul
Oh little baby, don'cha slip away
Your love in motion takes my pain away
Young man in Morocco
Buys a diamond ring
Takes it across the water
Just to see what luck it brings
Young girl dressed in midnight
Sets his blood on fire
You can't buy my soul with gold
But my heart is up for hire
I can't shake it
Drivin' in your Fleetwood
To the sports of kings today
Top hat cane and ascot
That's the game you play
Jumpin' from a window
Shirt half off your back
Better take the elevator
And find another track
I can't shake it
I gotta a monkey on my back
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
Remember baby
Dreams we shared
We ran with crazies
Lived on solid air
Do you remember lady
Who you used to be
Did you become the stranger
Baby you or me
I guess you were just tryin'
To keep a love alive
But baby all your lyin'
Just took it for a ride
A man of constant sorrow
Under an evil eye
Oh baby when it's over
The truth is first to die
Oh, I believe in magic
Fire that binds a band
Baby there's no magic
In hidin' sleight of hand
I guess that I was tryin'
To keep myself alive
But then there's no denyin'
I was losin' all my pride
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
I guess you were just tryin'
To buy some piece of mind
But baby there's no buyin'
Eyesight for the blind
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
(Cervenka, Doe)
Drive by my house late at night,
you can see it from the freeway above,
No silhouette, but a light left on,
burnin' there for love, burnin' there for love.
Smoke is risin' from the black,
comin' out my back door.
I'm inside, sound asleep, a cigarette on the floor,
burnin' there for love, burnin' there for love.
Well, I can still remember a couple of years ago,
when the smoke and flame from our name,
was a burnin' house of love, burnin' house of love.
a burnin' house of love...
Burnin' house of love, burnin' house of love.
The rusty nail over our front door,
is where I hung our tears in the rain.
I threw that horseshoe into the weeds,
I seen what love can bring, I seen what love can bring.
Now you're in your bed and I'm in mine,
on either side of town;
I think I might take a little ride,
and burn your love house down,
like a burnin'
Fallen angel ripped and bruised
think on better days
Life is rude, treats you bad
tears your wings away
Raise your eyes to star and sky
believe in fly aways
Take your dreams, your broken schemes
and sweep the past away
Fly lonely angel
high above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
far away from mad desire
Hollywood ain't paved with gold
it's just a trick of light
Sunset falls on stars of old
and blinds you with its light
A spiders web of tangled lives
lays stretched across the hills
From distances it's glistening
like Eldorado's halls
Fly lonely angel
high above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
leave behind the mad desire
(instrumental)
The dream was light
and fragrant nights
But how were you to know?
The streets are hard
they're mean and scarred
where only fools find gold
Fly lonely angel
high above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
leave behind the mad desire
Fly lonely angel
spread your wings another way
Fly lonely angel
find a better way
