Ben: So, why didn't you guys ever even try to get together?::Jason Fryman: It's too much familiarity. It's like she's one of my limbs.::Ben: And that's bad, because...?::Jason Fryman: Because I hate myself.
Jason Fryman: You think that we don't love each other? You know, I have loved this girl for nineteen years, Ben. That is fully half my life. I know everything there is to know about her. I know the mood she's in when she wakes up in the morning - always happy, ready for the day. Can you imagine? I know that she is honest; she won't even take the little shampoo bottles from the hotel room, or sneak into the movie theater for a double feature. She always buys a second ticket. Always. I know that we have the same values, we have the same taste, we have the same sense of humor. I know that we both think that organized religion is completely full of shit. I know that if she is ever paralyzed from the neck down, she would like me to unplug her - and I will. I know her position on just about everything, and I am on board. I am on board with everything about her, so you tell me, Ben. What better woman could I have picked to be the mother of my child?
Jason Fryman: Slow painful death by disease... or watching the love of your life die a slow painful death by disease?::Julie Keller: A. Definitely A. Much worse to be without the person you love than to have a slow painful death. [... ] You?::Jason Fryman: Oh, B.::Julie Keller: Really? You would rather watch the love of your life die slowly and painfully?::Jason Fryman: Well, it wouldn't be awesome, but better them than me. Got a lot of good years left.
Jason Fryman: Please, please, just let me fuck the shit out of you right now. And if you're not convinced afterwards that I am into you in every possible way a person can be into another person, then I promise I will never try to kiss you, or fuck you, or impregnate you ever again, as long as I live.

Plot
Financial wizard "Doc" Fletcher (Michael Caine) is sent by crime boss Joe Fiore (Martin Balsam) to buy a bank in Switzerland in order to more easily launder their profits. When he arrives, Fletcher finds that the bank, acquired by his associate Prince di Siracusa (Louis Jourdan), consists of some shabby offices above a restaurant. To make up for this, the Prince suggests that Fletcher invests in a silver mine owned by Shireen and Agha Firdausi (Stéphane Audran and David Warner). This solves one problem, but the mine also attracts the attention of some of the most powerful people in the silver business. Fletcher must pull out all his wheeler-dealing skills in order to keep hold of everything he's worked for, in the process romancing a banker's discontented wife (Cybill Shepherd).

Chicago, Chicago--that toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago--I will show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down.
On State Street, that great street, I'd just want to say -
They do things they don't do on Broadway.
They have the time, the time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife.
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town.
Chicago, Chicago--that toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago--I'll show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down.
On State Street that great street, I'd just like to say -
They do things that they never do on Broadway.
They have the time, the time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife.
In Chicago... Chicago... Chicago.
The seeds are planted here
But they won't grow
We won't have to say goodbye
If we all go
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
To leave all we've ever known
For a place we've never seen
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Well it's braver to stay
Even braver to go
Wherever she goes I go
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
What we need the lord will give us
Courtesy of
All we want we carry with us
You know where I can be found
Where the rainbow hits the ground
I'm not alone
I'm not afraid
This bird has flown from his cage
There's so much magic we have known
On this sapphire we call home
With my coat and my hat
I say goodbye to all that
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
In Chicago, Chicago
All is well again
I think I'm gonna be alright
And I'm feeling better
Again
Loving you was sad
Affairs of timing that were bad
And the laughing ended
Again
There was a time
When I thought I was fooling myself
But now, I'll take a bow
'Cause I'm free and easy
Please won't you sing me
A thing that will bring me right into the sky
If you would play it
Just lay it down, say, it will help me get by
Something to move me
Remove me and grove me, you want to know why?
I'm so tired of oldies
And moldies and goldies, that I want to cry
Can you play free
Or in three or agree to attempt something new
The people need you
A seed that will lead to a hit by Varese
Tomorrow is teasing me.
Time seems to run away from the future.
But this could be that lucky day.
A dream is make believe until
blood, sweat, and tears turn pain to will.
It's gonna take some doing for me
to show them the way.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Building a wall of stone.
Sometimes you know what's right
Sometimes wrong is better than nothing.
They cast a stone so heavy to turn.
I believe in a love so true.
I believe you get what's coming to you.
We get so tired of living a dream
for some other day.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Wall of stone around the two of us.
That only angels can break through.
Looks like it's another of those long nights.
Will we always be alone?
Let's not stop before it's done.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
I'll take the stone of Sisyphus.
Wall of stone round the two of us.
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
I've been trapped in the madness,
from the shadows of sadness
I laugh it away.
I've been blind to the passion
while the whole world is flashing
I stash it away.
While I'm singing of Freedom,
I'm trying to sell
what I never had.
Hoping I'll be released from my own kind of hell
cause I lost the key to my past.
The show must go on.
It seems like there's something I'm leaving behind.
The show must go on.
Cause the dreams that I'm having,
I'm having all the time.
The show must go on.
There will be no confessions,
Cause I'd only be guessing just where to begin.
There's only one thing I'm knowing
this feeling ain't blowing
away with the wind.
And I'm tired of turning my back on myself
throwing truth away.
Let the fire burn down the front door to myself
and give me a season of play.
The show must go on,
I just keep pretending to live for the game.
The show must go on.
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
It's time for collecting
what I've been neglecting.
It's gonna be a little strange.
Cause one day I'll be gone,
and I'll be back in time(town?).
Nothing's gonna, nothing's gonna
be the same.
The show must go on,
and I just keep pretending to live for your game,
The show must go on,
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
Put on the face,
win every race,
I'm just so strong can't you see,
and I keep up the pace,
I won't leave a trace.

still going on, still going on.

I saw Jesus kissing the Devil.
Gonna take some time for me to

Gonna take an angel's kiss to

When I go to sleep tonight,

Time after time,
I blow me away...
Sign on the streets now,
Running on the .... now.
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay.
I read somewhere that religion is for people
who want to stay out of hell.
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
til you been there you won't get well.
I was sitting in a room, I never recognized it
for the picture before my eyes.
I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
I'm not sure this qualifies.
Lost in a crosswalk,
battle on the half ....
Calling cause I can't talk,
trying til the fire caught up with me.
Flashing like a neon,
noisy as an A-bomb.
Looking to the beyond,
staring and laughing at eternity.
Time after time,
I blow me away,
Time on the street now.
Run like I pray now.
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay.
I read somewhere that religion is for people

A third floor walk-up...
One block east of Chinatown.
She walked by my window,
while the rain is pouring down.
Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere
And it's clear she don't approve.
(And it's clear she don't approve)
Through a cloud of smoke I shoot a little smile over there.
and I .........
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
She don't Mah Jong, Wait she don't let me wait.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
But she loves to play ....
With the dark eyes burning,
I am opening the wall.
Can there be no other chance?
I feel my fortune's turning,
and I wish for nothing else at all.
Looking up I see her signal with her fingers through her hair
telling me the hands are clean.
On the .......... I turn a dragon tail into a pair.
And the game is over.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she dont play.
She don't Mah Jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
Though I don't obey her,
still she loves to play her

A tree blows up

And though there are not many things a pawn would ....
I'll beat.
We enjoyed the difference.

Say no more,
if you want to kiss goodnight,
that's alright by me.
Close your door,
make sure the latch is tight,
fall gently to sleep.
We don't have to rush ahead,
putting questions in your head,
and an ache in your heart,
Let's take a lifetime,
all that we desire,
build it day by day into forever.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require,
here and now and ever.
In these times,
love is not some harmless game,
it's played strictly for keeps.
No, It's no crime,
wanting me to feel the same,
with the water so deep.
Come tomorrow once again,
we'll be together until then,
we've dreaming to do.
Let's take a lifetime,
all that you desire.
build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime,
all that you require.
Here and now and lasting ever more.
So hard to leave you standing there in the light,
you look so lovely.
If we must ....
No use tempting fate.
repeat chorus out.
Something I forgot that I used to know
keeps on coming back around.
Somewhere in the dark right before the dawn
like a light from down the hall.
Suddenly some old familiar music
songs I know I've never heard before.
I gotta play along I can't refuse it
I hear the call.
We've all been so proud of our blindness
no kindness to share
I used to cry for the lost
until I had to turn away.
Then I looked inside, past the fool,
and found some deeper words to say
to bring us together.
We can make it better
We can make it right.
We hide behind the veil of our own success,
while we're following the rules.
Our eyes refuse to see past our little hands
to the never changing truth.
Freedom needs to speak a little louder,
justice needs to try her other arm.
Some of us could push a little harder
to sound the alarm.
And I see children marching
And I hear the drums again
I used to cry for the lost
until I had to turn away.
Then I looked inside, past the fool,
and found some deeper words to say.
If we hope and pray,
it will come, give it half a chance.
Everyone, understand
in our hearts and our mind,
you know there's nothing left to hide,
we're already there.
I used to cry.
Cry for the lost I was walking away.
I used to try to find a reason.
Then I looked inside,
I used to mind everytime I was walking away,
I gotta find what I'm feeling
to bring us together.
repeat chorus
We rode the train,
from Paris to the cold Atlantic shore.
The winter rain
kept us in each others arms until the dawn,
do you remember?
Faster than the sun,
flying higher than everyone.
Like a dream too good to last,
I won't regret the past.
Here With Me,
deep down in my soul now and forever.
A candle for the dark, I need you
Here with Me,
A story with an unexpected end.
The morning plane,
through empty doors a mountain in the sky.
Golden chain, the autumn treetops cast
another light.
Do you remember?
We have no common ground,
Treasure lost will not be found.
We can blame our wild at heart,
from now until the start.
Here with Me,
Deep down in my soul now and forever,
A candle for the dark I need you,
Here With Me,
A story with an unexpected end.
Remember feelings I have known,
And chasing dreams I've never done,
We're losing let us walk away,
hold me in your arms before you go.
repeat chorus...
Everywhere I go you're here with me.
You ask me what I think,
I tell you you ignore it.
The reasons for it make me crazy.
You ask me what is right,
Huh, you never hear it.
You're never nowhere near it baby.
I spent my life believing,
It would not end this way.
All the Years we wasted
All the Years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.
You ask me what I want,
I got no answer.
I know I'm only dancing faster.
So now we're stuck with us,
with you and all your stories.
Who's the fool and who'd the liar.
I spent my life believing
it would not end this way.
All the years we Wasted
All the years we tried.
All the restless hours.
All the times we cried.
All the years we gambled.
All the years you lied.
All the hopeless dreamers.
All the dreams that died.
repeat chorus
Night And Day, you are the one;
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It's no matter darlin', where you are;
I think of you, Night And Day.
Night And Day, why's it so,
That this longing for you, follows wherever I go.
In the roaring traffic's boom;
In the silence of my lonely room;
I think of you, Night And Day.
Night and Day, under the hide of me,
There's an old, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me;
And this torment won't be through,
Till you let me spend my life making love to you;
Day and Night, Night and Day
They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you somehow
I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant, diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
Is that all you really want?
No sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the heart you lost long ago
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick with us we'll have a ball
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick around we'll have it all
Music brightens up the day
Now, if you like it we will stay
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stars are a-glow,
And tonight, how their light sets me feeling!
My love, do you know,
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and sing you a moonlight serenade.
Let us stray till break of day, In love's valley of dreams
You and I, a summer sky, A heavenly breeze kisses the trees
So, don't make me wait
Come to me tenderly, in the June light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, A moonlight serenade
Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper, ";I love you";,
Birds singing in the sycamore tree,
";Dream A Little Dream Of Me";.
Just say ";goodnight"; and kiss me,
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me;
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss;
I'm longing to linger till dawn, my dear,
Just saying this:
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you,
But in your dreams whatever they be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Say ";nightie-night"; and kiss me,
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me;
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Dream A little dream of you and me.

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
It's a long distance love affair
Tender are the moments that they rarely share
They hope their time will come someday
When together with the fraulein they'll steal away
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just a fantasy
He's dying inside dying of frustration reaching out in hope
And he wants so hard to hide inside of her soul
'Cause that's what he needs to cope
It's the greatest love on earth
Her lovin' eyes are all he wants to see
And he knows that in her heart there lies his destiny
When she holds him in her arms he can feel the warmth
Of her gentle ways
And when she kissed him it was just like making music
That no one else will ever play
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just a fantasy
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just another fantasy
Take a chance dream a dream
Lay a bet down on me
I will see you with my heart
Raise you with honesty
All the love I share with you
Is too priceless to lose
For your loving I will gamble
And I'm gambling on you
All the odds are on our side
And I know you're worth it
Gonna take it
Go for it
Can I play, deal me in
I'm a man who likes to win
Though I can't foresee the future
With you I don't fear a thing
All the odds are on our side
And I know you're worth it gonna take it
Go for it
Flying so high
Feeling so low
Fill my empty heart
Don't say no
Can I get through this night, with some lovin' to show
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
Won't you open your eyes
I know you really care
You see these games you play
They're just not fair
After all the good times and secrets we've shared
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
I wanna take my place
I wanna take my place
I wanna take my place with the loved ones
Well I still can't see how things were meant to be
Love me even for one day I'll treat you like a lady
In my heart you'll stay forever you know
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
Marching into your heart
Marching into your heart
Remember when we were first falling in love
How we planned all the things we would do
Beautiful days and the nights all ablaze
Hoping our dreams would come true
Love was new
Rmember the house at the top of the hill
How the sunlight caressed all the trees
I played all my music I sang you my love
The chiming church bells rode the breeze
Love was new
Time has a way of obscuring our memories
And good times are hard to recall
Basic survival and day to day living
Leaves no time for romance at all
I just wanted to say I'm still falling in love
Every day with you, every day
Remember that Christmas with just a few friends
And the whole town was covered with snow
We laughed and we loved as we skied in the sun
It seems such a long time ago
Love was new
Something you said one night started me thinking
How sweet love is as it begins
Taken for granted it slips through your fingers
And leaves you on needles and pins
But there ain't no way baby that we'd let that happen
Our love will always be new
I just wanted to say I'm still faling in love
Every day with you,falling in love every day with you
Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again
All the empty yesterdays have disappeared
Now that you have filled my life with love
No one else could ever mean so much to me
Every day my high lasts longer
As our love grows ever stronger
Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again
When you gave your love to me you changed my life
Dreams that once seemd hopeless come with ease
Thank you girl for being just the way you are
I would never try to change you
All I live for is to love you
I'm feeling alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Oh what a lucky day
Things are going my way
Sun is arising mesmerizing everything I say
People all around this uptight town
Someone's gonna recoginze me
Ain't it time
Dues I've been paying for so long only making me stronger
Lady luck won't you please come to me I can't wait any longer
I spend all my time writing notes and rhyme
Tryin' to find new dimensions
Ain't it time
Time for movin' on
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
Competition everywhere is getting all of us down
I've been makin' all the rounds I feel like a train on the wrong track
Don't get lost 'cause you might get caught going out
The wrong door now
Ain't it time
Time for movin' on
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
I never know
What you're gonna do
You're always so far away
Down below
You used to tell the truth
Now you're lookin' for something to say
You give me those eyes
And then look away
Do you want me down on my knees
Are you livin' a lie
Is this some kind of game
Baby, won't you tell me please
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
Who do you love
What makes you happen
What do you need for satisfaction
Who do you love
I need an answer
Is it just about a good time, good time
Who do you love
I wish that you'd lie
Or tell me the truth
So I can decide for myself
Maybe you've tried
What we used to do
With somebody, somewhere else
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
All I do is think about you
I never did let go of what we were
Can't pretend I'll live without you
As I learn to live alone
Why can't I be a man about it
I've tried and tried to hide you from my heart
If I could just forget about us
If I knew just where to start
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms once more
What can I say
To make you understand
You're still all I'm waiting for
At times I feel it's best without you
And times I still believe in you so much
After what I've been through without you
You'd think that I'd move on
But you're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
'Cause we can't go back
Can't be like it was before
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms
What does it take
What will it take now
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change
I never have time to think of words I want to say
I look around me, I don't know who really knows
What does it matter anyway?
Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone
And somedays I feel so alone
When nobody sees what's going on anymore
If I could just know that someone's there
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face
It's never too late to get to where I want to go
It's never too late to get to love someone
All that I need is to be more than yesterday
And all I can give along the way
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
The words you will remember
The words you'll hear me say
It's all about love
It's all about give and take
Girl, when the moon across the water starts to rise
I'll be looking for tomorrow and I'll see it in your eyes
Girl, though the strongest heart'll shatter in a storm
Now we got this love that we can run to
Tonight, I'll keep you warm
(Chorus)
Man to woman
When you're lying next to me
Man to woman
Girl you're everything I need
Hold on, we'll always be
Always you and me
Hold me close
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've known
I can feel the fire that burns inside you
Look how this love has grown
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Just say we'll always be
Always you and me
I wanna hold you in the night
Can't you see
That I'm just livin' for your light
I want the world to know
I can't let you go
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
I want the world to see
Baby what you mean to me
Walkin' through time
Reachin' for yesterday
'Cause we're frightened of tomorrow
Trying to find
The feeling that's gone astray, far away
I remember the look in your eyes
Love we made unafraid
Now we've opened the window
So let's not close the shade
(Chorus)
Holdin' on
'Cause the memory of you
Is something I just can't erase
Holdin' on
I don't know what to do
'Cause the pieces won't fit into place
But no matter what happens
We can't let it end this way
So far away
So close to something new
But we're holdin' off tomorrow
Maybe someday
We'll find what we need to do, until then
We'll be doing the best that we can
Out of rhyme, out of time
While we're hiding our feelings
We're leaving love behind
(Chorus)
Far away
Reachin' for yesterday
So far away
Something has gone away
So afraid
To find what we had
(Chorus)
Smoke in the sky
Slime in the sea
Tall timber tumblin' down around me
Red acid rain
Glows in the night
Nuclear winter closes down on me
The light of the world is fading to black
And the absence of people who care
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
God save the queen
Dear mother earth is dying away
Time's running out
One more tomorrow depends on today
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Greenhouse condition getting' steamier
Nobody's clean
Nobody's free
Nobody's breathin' any easier
The children of earth are dying each day
And the nightmare of who is to blame
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
I understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now you've made it clear
It'll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away
(Chorus)
Explain it to my heart
It's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that it's supposed to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart
Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together and I might convince my mind
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do I
(Chorus)
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart...
Fireworks,
Fireflys,
On the roof watching summer night skies.
All the boys,
All the girls,
All the time making love with our eyes.
Life just went on for us
Day after day
We could fly!- Oh!
Cocky, so confident
There was no way we could die.
CHORUS:
Over, over and over again.
Life is a circle,
But it's over and over again.
Over, over.
Little words,
Little games,
The dramas we played, left behind.
Little friends,
Little names,
Puppy lovers we had...(love was blind).
Life just went on for us D
ay after day
Screaming by!- Oh!
Fast as a shooting star
Cruising the midnight sky!
CHORUS
Listen to the wind
Hear the voice inside you.
Something in the air,
Something you've been blind to.
People everywhere are dying to be free.
Time has come to live our lives in harmony.
CHORUS:
Give the children of the world one more day,
Give the children of the world, give them one more day.
Where do we begin?
When will freedom find us?
Bring the new day in
Free the chains that bind us.
People reaching out for just a little more.
Love is all we need to open up the door.
CHORUS
Now the future's up to you.
Take a stand and see things thru
For the children of tomorrow.
Give the world one more day,
Time enough to find a way
To start over a way to go on.
One more day
One more day
Give the children of the world
One more day
One more day
One more day
Give the children of tomorrow
One more day
Every day it seems we hear the same old story.
Every day there's lovers giving up on love.
People say it's just a fact of modern living.
All around us, people fall in love and marry.
Then we hear they're breaking up, and wonder why?
Did they mean it when they said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel.
CHORUS:
Forever
Is a long, long time.
Longer than we ever realize.
Forever
Is a long, long time.
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life.
Forever.
Every day I spend with you, I call it lucky,
Every night we touch and speak the words of love.
Did I mean it when I said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel.
CHORUS
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life
Forever
What has happened to our town
There's people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they'll lose the fight
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
Families livin' in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Knowing pride won't pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
Hadn't we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldn't we try to find solutions with our minds
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
Chorus
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
I've heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie you've told me
I'd be a righ man if I had a dime
Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
The lad's constant cruisin'
Expains the tears
The lonely path she's choosin'
If I didn't love her would I still be here
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time
Hold me forever
Whisper the words I've waited so long to hear
Love's sweet surrender
Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears
Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Chorus:
Only you
You've got control
Only you
You've got the key to my heart
Only you
You've got control
Need your love, take me forever
Sad empty faces
Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt not knowing we'd see things through
So in love, unaware of time
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever
Chorus
Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Chorus
All we wanted was each other; nothin' more.
You were looking for an answer; you were out the door.
I didn't know what you were after. I knew you had to take a chance, girl.
Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no.
CHORUS:
Oo, what you're missing could have been yours from the start.
You won't listen when it's coming from the heart.
Now you're missing me.
You'll find that out when we're apart.
Had some crazy conversations. You know they seemed so right.
Remember how it used to keep us up all night?
I didn't know what you were after. Maybe there never was an answer.
Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no.
CHORUS
Lonely nights; empty days, use me up so many ways.
You came along and stole my heart away.
I just wanna hold you darlin', tonight,
knowin' that the love between us is right.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
CHORUS:
What can I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you.
Got to be strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling?
Won't go away.
Take me back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away
Closer to you that what we used to be.
Are we really gonna let it die? Close the book and give it one more try.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
CHORUS
Used to think that you'd do anything for me.
I thought your heart was pounding at my door.
Now it seems that things aren't right.
You've been crying ev'ry night.
You're rainy season just ain't slowing down.
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all along.
You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
There's someone watching tonight.
You've been trying for some time to get away from me.
It's just the same old game you've tried before.
We've talked it out a thousand time. It's still the same old useless lines.
You've made your point now why can't I make mine?
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all this time.
You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
You can't get away. There's someone watching tonight.
After he hurt you, you said you were leaving; you got up to walk out the door.
The story he's telling you, you weren't believin'; you've certainly
heard it before.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin'
me mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.
I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken, it's only a matter of time.
And I know you're giving him more than you've taken; you've come to the end of
the line.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me
mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
I just can't take it when your feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's making me mad.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (You know that help is on the way)
She said, ";It's lonely here tonight."; She's always sad when she's alone.
She said, ";I need you here tonight."; She couldn't wait 'til I get home.
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than
yesterday?";
You know it's always cold at night; it's always lonely 'til the dawn.
And though it's not what we both want, knowing she's there, I'll carry on.
Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you more than any words can
say?";
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than
yesterday?";
Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday
";Everybody needs a little time away,"; I heard her say, ";from each other.";
";Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other.";
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to stay.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body.
Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to know.
Hold me now. I really want to tell you I'm sorry. I could never let you go.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
You're gonna be the lucky one.
When we get there gonna jump in the air.
No one'll see us 'cause there's nobody there.
After all, you know we really don't care.
Hold on. I'm gonna take you there.
One shoe on; one shoe off.
Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know.
Nothing's supposed to be easy.
Take one day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry.
Realize where you are, and where you're going to.
CHORUS:
Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself.
Follow me; don't need nobody else.
Follow me; and together we'll build a better life.
Follow me.
One more time; toe the line;
Nothing in life is impossible. Both of us know
Life is as good as we make it.
Dark reflections of the past
Drown in our tomorrows.
Time to laugh; time to love;
Time to live again.
CHORUS
Time to laugh; time to live again.
I don't want any trouble. I don't want to make any waves.
I don't want any conscience. And I don't wanna be brave.
I've kept my distance. My feelings have never been shown.
I know that I've been walking fences,
Denied what I have known.
I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Heavy, heavy chains. (Chains that are made.)
I carry chains (I carry chains) 'round my feet.
I feel the weight (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the different things that should not be hanging on me.
I put my conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground.
Walked from where I had left it. I hoped it couldn't be found.
My conscience persisted. It's a haunted seed I have sown.
Calls me out from the distance
And it just won't leave me alone.
I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Chains that are made. (Chains that are made.)
I carry heavy chains. (I carry chains.)
Talk about the weight. (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me.
Six sets smoked on Saturdays
At Barnaby's on State
Countless California calls
We could not stand the wait
We played the pier on Venice beach
The crowd called out for more
Zappa and the Mothers next
We finished with a roar
Jimi was so kind to us
Had us on the tour
We got some education
Like we never got before
Around the world in twenty days
We played most every night
Jet-lag, girls, strange languages
Everyone began to fight
Lowdown at the Caribou
All rumours aside
Was we could never get together
Not unless we tried
Summer with the Beach Boys
We got sand all in our shoes
Made some special music
Everybody sang the blues
You'll never lose me to temptation.
Fighting the devil and I beat the dragon too.
I'm at your rescue; I'm your faithful one,
if it's the last thing that I ever mean to do.
I'm in deeper than you could know.
The wise in me won't let it go.
You can count on me, guarantee.
I stand up, I stand up,
believe in myself.
(If you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
give me a little respect.
(If you need somebody, stand.)
Out of the shadow, yet I'm alright.
It's not as easy as I know it used to be.
I don't have time to look behind me.
I know the truth and it's the truth that set me free.
One more heart to heart to live for;
one more time to stop the war,
inside of me; in spite of me.
I stand up, I stand up,
believe in myself
(If you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
give me a little respect.
(If you need somebody, stand.)
[Chorus repeats.]
Only you can touch me with your dark eyes
with a look that burns like fire through the lonely night.
Sometimes I run, but I can never hide
from the pieces of my heart that fall like rain from the sky.
When you hear the thunder,
when you hear the sound of a mountain crashing down,
it's just my heart in pieces.
When I feel the hunger,
when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
it's my heart in pieces.
No one cuts through my soul like you can.
I'm naked to the bone beside your empty hand.
I see your face and I remember.
I'm a prisoner of your fate,
I'm a loser in the race.
When you hear the thunder,
when you hear the sounds of a mountain crashing down,
it's just my heart in pieces.
When I feel the hunger,
when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
it's my heart in pieces.
I walk the fine line
between fire and the ice.
The memory lives on.
There's always something to remind me.
Every teardrop falling
when your voice keeps calling.
[chorus repeats until fade.]
How many times have I seen you running;
just one step ahead of the past?
So many nights have I seen it coming;
I try to talk to you when you pass.
I don't know who you were before I met you;
you keep your secret safe with a mask.
It's almost as though the truth is out to get you;
you're just a runaway from the past.
Girl, we've got a love worth keeping.
Maybe there's a way to let it go.
Someday when your demons are sleeping,
let me know, let me know.
Come out of the darkness, baby,
come in from the night.
You can let the light
wash it from your mind.
Open the blinds.
So many times have I seen you crying,
never knowing what it's about.
I do my best, I just keep on trying
to find a way inside to let it out.
Girl, we've got a love worth making.
It would be a shame to close the show.
Now you got a chance worth taking,
let me know, let me know.
Come out of the darkness, baby,
come in from the night.
You can let the light
wash it from your mind.
Come out of the darkness, baby,
come in from the night.
Open up your life,
leave the past behind.
Open up the blinds.
I recall the look in your eyes, and the way that I felt
When I heard you say,
";Where did the loving go?";
Funny how it all slipped away.
I remember all that we had, 'cause our love was so right,
And so very strong.
I would give anything,
Knowing where we might have gone wrong.
Something's coming over me now,
Something that I don't understand,
But I would give all the world if I could have you back again.
I want to make it perfectly clear,
I'm never gonna make it from here.
I can only say that I love you, woh.
I recall the moment you said,
";It doesn't work anymore,
And it's come to the end.";
I would do anything just to see you again.
I remember all that we had,
And it's so very sad
When there's nothing to say.
(Background:) Gonna say,
Where did the lovin' go?
Funny how it all slipped away.
All alone on the road near the other side of town
In the dark of the night and the rain was fallin' down
Up ahead, said a sign, was the Overnight Cafe
Maybe one for the road just to pass the night away
Then she came in the room and she moved across the floor
With the look of a woman who's been through it all before
Then she smiled as she spoke and it made me realize
That the time was right and the love was in her eyes
That the time was right and the love was in her eyes
Then she asked and I told her that I was due in town
Hey mama, can you tell me what's on your mind?
Then she told me that she'd like to see me hang around
And maybe I could take her home
Never know what could happen when we're both alone
Now I'm back on the road and I'm running overtime
Turn around if I could and you know it crossed my mind
But I know I'll be back 'cause she made me realize
That the time was right and the love was in her eyes
I'd rather be rich, it sounds a little funny;
If diggin' a ditch would earn me lots of money,
I'd dig like a fool in the land of milk and honey;
Where everything's cool, provided you have money, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd rather be rich, just short of being greedy;
I'm eager to switch, to hell with being needy.
I'd rather be rich, the truth of cash is tragic,
The system's a bitch, but money works like magic, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Money makes the world go round;
Buy and sell it by the pound;
Bitter truth that I have found:
Food to eat, shoes on your feet,
Maybe some heat, you live with defeat.
Bridge:
Money gets you justice, money sets you free,
Money makes it possible to be or not to be.
Money is the power, money is the key,
Sad and so unfortunate, but real as it can be, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd rather be rich, than what the other choice is;
My thumb out to hitch, or riding in Rolls Royces;
'Cause I ain't no fool in the land of milk and honey;
Where everything's cool until you lose your money.
Why, why, why won't you sympathize
And tell me where you're coming from?
My, my, my, don't you realize
We're not lovin' when there's something wrong?
Come here mama, let me make it right,
I know that we can work it out;
But no sense talkin' 'bout a love gone bad,
(Chorus:)
You got to hold on, hold on baby;
Hold on, hold on babe;
You got to hold on, hold on babe;
You got to hold on.
Why, why is it always something new?
Baby, I'm just dyin' to please.
Cry, cry, cry when you're singin' the blues;
I'm just bringin' my sympathies.
Hey, little mama won't you change your mind?
Don't go running away.
Please come home where you know you belong,
(Bridges:)
You know when the feeling gets you,
It's gonna get you;
And I know where it's gonna get you;
Right there in the back of your mind;
And I know when the feeling gets you,
I won't forget you;
Yes, you know that I won't forget you;
Got too much on my mind.
And I know when the feeling hits you,
It's gonna hit you;
Yes I know where it's gonna hit you;
Right there in the back of your mind.
And I Know when the feeling hits you,
I'll never quit you;
Yes, you know that I'll never quit you;
Got too much on the line,
La la la la la la la.
You got to hold on, hold on, baby;
Hold on, hold on, baby;
Got to hold on, hold on baby . . . . .
Lookin' out by my window,
Thinking 'bout you all the time,
Wish you were here with me
Right here by my side,
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
Every time I find myself on the road
Miss you holdin' me tight
Flop down in my easy chair,
Makes me feel alright
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
(Bridge)
Gigs are fun, when they're done,
Feel so down, act like a clown,
Company's great, but when it's late,
I'm lookin' for the phone
I feel so alone--so alone
Knowin' the way we both feel,
O know you're always gonna be my friend
Dig, your face, Lord, it's real
Someday I'm never gonna go again,
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
(Bridge)
Gigs are fun, when they're done,
Feel so down, act like a clown,
Company's great, but when it's late,
I'm lookin' for the phone
I feel so alone--
So all alone
I'll never forget those aimless years
Street sounds swirling through my mind
Trouble was often in the air
So we fought to forget our despair
I'm a street player
And I'll play you a song
'Cause you know, my heart & soul
Will carry, carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
City life's the only way
Street corners and billiard halls was our home away
Lessons learned still help me today
I'm a street player
I've seen it all
Hitmen, thieves and many a brawl
But as you see I still stand tall
It was such a small space in time
I never knew that I would find
A musical path for all to see
Anxiety into ecstacy
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I've seen it all
Hitmen, thieves and many a brawl
But as you see I still stand tall
It was such a small space in time
I never knew that I would find
A musical path for all to see
Anxiety into ecstacy
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
Run away
Leave all your worries behind you
Run away
Run for your life never turn back
Run away
Run from the wrong that surrounds you
Run away
Run like a fool and you just might make it
(Chorus)
And soon you will be
Right ware you wanna be
Free to live the way you want to
And soon you will find
Just what you're lookin' for
All the good times you never, never knew
Run away
Follow the voice deep inside you
Run away
Follow the sun, find a new life
Run away
Run from the lies that destroy you
Run away
Run like a fool and you just might make it
(Chorus II)
And soon you will be
Right ware you wanna be
Free to live the way you want to
And soon, I said soon, you will find
Just what you're lookin' for
All the good times you never, never knew
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
She's fine, so fine
And I think I'm going to lose my mind
So high, so high,
You know you make me want to
Scream and shout
Well, you know I'm like a fool
Who's just got to have a reason
You know that I've found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long
This time, it's time
Every singer's got to sing his song
So fine, it's fine
You know you make me want to
Sing along
'Cause you know I'm not a fool
Got to find a piece of heaven
You know that I found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long
'Cause you know I'm not a fool
Got to find a piece of heaven
You know that I found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long
On the road
But I won't be gone too long
Babe, I'm leavin' you tomorrow
On my way
And you know you make me strong
I'll be thinking 'bout you
all night long
(Chorus)
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
Mama shake just a little bit
Mama brake just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
All alone
And, I'm feelin' down today
Won't let nothin' come between us
Say the words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinkin' about you everyday
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart, oh, oh
Mama shake just a little bit
Mama brake just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
From my heart
I believe that we belong beyond a doubt
If we have a change of heart
We can always change our mind
And I know we'll work it out
I can see that it's the only way to go
It's the only chance I get
It's the only way you'll know
That I love to love you
Mighty love
Gettin' hard to find today
I believe in you forever
Say thhe words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinkin' about you everyday
(Repeat Chorus)
Many miles of memories
Many tears I can't forget
But I know you live inside me yet
Oh
Many hours to contemplate
Many dreams I can't recall
Many nights I've felt I was too small
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
It's a hard and bitter world
When you face reality
And it's hard to be who you want to be
Oh
Many miles of memories
Catch the wind and blow away
But I know that it's over, over anyway
Oh
But tonight I sit and wonder why
You left me here
After all this time I don't know why
You left me here
If it's all behind me
You know you'll find me
Oh
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, oh yea
But tonight I sit and wonder why
You left me here
After all this time I wonder why
Wonder why
You left me here
If it's all behind me
You know you'll find me
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, oh yea
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
Why do we have to go and face the same routine
And the traffic jams and crowded street's a real
Neurotic scene
I don't know, why do we take it each day, yeah
Why does my girl tell me she's got to
Have her way
Out all night, come home to fight
What am I to say
I don't know, why do we take it each day
Life is what it is
Who wants to try not to believe
That's the way it is
Oh, oh
I don't know why what you feel inside
Days go on
Love is something that you just can't hide
If it's wrong
Then you'll want to know, you don't know why
I sing a song
And it helps me yet I'll get by
At times
Lost in time sometimes your mind unwinds
Sun does shine
But no pleasure from your beauty's mine
Like champagne wine
A bitter taste that's so refined
Life it's fine
You always pay for what's behind
Why do I have to go and face the same routine
And the traffic jams and crowded street's a real
Neurotic scene
I don't know, why do we take it each day, yeah
Life is what it is
Who wants to try not to believe
That's the way it is
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama won't you treat me right
I need you tender woman won't you hold me tight
Surfridin' sister I wanna taste your love
Le's make it in the garden beneath the stars above
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama have you got the cure
My heart's all broken and I feel unsure
Surfridin' sister I got to fly away
I'll be back in September that's the price I pay
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Can't you feel the tradewinds blowin'
There's a look in your eyes you're goin'
Don't leave me now I'm a hurtin'
If you'd look in my eyes you'd see hunger arise
Can't you feel all these years I've been cryin' these years
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama don't make me cry
Aloha mama you know I'l die
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
I'll cut your tax in half
I'll make the Russians laugh
I'll feed the hungry people everywhere
I'll bring the railroads back
New trains and new track
From Waikiki to old Deleware
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
I'll give Detroit one year
New cars that run on beer
Or anything except gasoline
I'm looking to the sun
More power for everyone
And the cleanest sky that you've ever seen
I'm not going to kid you, there's a lot to do
Little can I promise, it's really up to you
But if we all work together
And I think we can
And if you want some new ideas
Then I'm your man
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
I'll work for global peace
And the sweet release
Of the love and human kindness in us all
I would give all I've got
You just give me a shot
Somehow, I know that I can win the fall
Walkin' through the fog on a cold and cloudy night
Lookin' through the smog that surrounds the mornin' light
The shades of brown. It gets me down, exactly like my life
I don't deserve the hand I'm dealt, a flush in spades of strife
I've grown tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore
So I'm rounding up the broken me and headin' on out the door
Without no lag I'm packin' my bag of discontented frowns
And hopping numer eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound
Got my bag of many frowns and I'm takin' it on uptown
Big city lights
Funkier nights
Happier days
Goin' my way
It should be right
But I'm still uptight
Hey, I better put down
And get movin' on
I'm through with aggravation
Don't deserve the degradation
I'm putting all the negatives down
To hop the train that's feedom bound for uptown
Got my bag of many frowns and I'm takin' it on uptown
This time I've found a love to treasure
One that's impossible to measure
The future looks bright, the moment feels so right
Just being near you brings me pleasure
This time the both of us can see
How we can love and still feel free
You came into sight, I saw a whole new light
I found out what happiness can be
'Cause baby
I'd given up
Ever finding
Someone
To share my life
Forever
This time we'll make it
Baby, we see
Nothing can take it from you and me
This time I feel it, like never before
Each day I love you more
This time our search for love has ended
All of our goals in life have blended
And baby tonight, I'll love your body, make you feel right
We'll see all our troubles can all be mended
This time we'll make it
Baby, we see
Nothing can take it from you and me
This time I feel it, like never before
Each day I love you more and more
[Instrumental]
Lying here as the morning light shines in
Can't believe the reflections from within
To look at your face takes me to a place
That reminds me of the lovely lady I once loved
I've got a smile
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone
But it is so hard
To make that smile
'Cause I know I'll be at home
And alone in a while
And if I look in a mirror
I see my eyes start to tear
I can't help but cry
Since you said goodbye
I've got to hide
Whhat I'm feelin' inside
Can't let them see
How you're hurtin' me
So I guess that's what I'll do
Won't let them see through
Won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
I've got a laugh
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone
But it is so hard
To fake that laugh
When my insides are cryin'
And my heart's torn in half
And all the music I hear
And things I valued so dear
Make me feel so blue
They all remind me of you
(Now) What can I do
(Now) That our love is through
And my purpose is gone
Still I got to live on
I guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
Little one it's so nice to have you near me
To feel once again the love you bring here
Oh my little one, I am sorry for the pain you've felt
Say the word and daddy will make it disappear
Oh my little one
Bring your love here
Little one
I need you near
Little one
Don't live in fear of the future
'Cause I will always be there
Oh my little one
Music is my life, I hope you understand
Travelling on the road with me you can see the way we live
Oh my little one
I will always cherish these days with you
As time goes by I hope you see the love I tried to give
Oh my little one
Let your love flow
My little one
Like a flower you'll grow
Someday you'll have your own little one
And you will always be there
Little one, it's so nice to have you near me
To feel once again the love you bring here
Oh my little one, I am sorry for the pain you've felt
Say the word and daddy will make it disappear
Oh my little one
Bring your love here
Little one
I need you near me
Little one
Don't live in fear of the future
'Cause I will always be there
Oh my little one
Let your love flow
My little one
Like a flower you'll grow
Someday you'll have your own little one
And you will always be there
My little one...
You get it up
You get it up
You get me feeling so hot
Mama, I'm your buttercup
I'm blowing up
I'm blowing up
I'm getting hotter and I
Don't know if I'll ever stop
Baby
Baby baby baby
You get it up
You get it up
You are on my mind
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and I can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Though I've tried, tried, tried
You are on my mind
You are everything a woman could be
Consequently I believe that no one
Else could take your place if you
Should ever leave me
I'll be coming home again to you
And look upon the woman that I love
There is nothing I can say that celebrates
The special way you keep me satisfied
Pretty girl
(break)
Feeling just a little lonely
Wishing you were in my arms
Yeah...
You are on my mind
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and I can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning on
Keep the fires burning on
Keep the fires burning on
Keep the fires burning on
Now I lay me down to sleep
And dream of my treasure map
It shows me the place my maypole's buried at
And I dream of all the fun I have
When my maypole comes out to play
Yeah, and I dream things I can't say
Or I'll get put away
So now, I better stop
Before I give them all away
Right before my very eyes
I thought that you were only fakin' it
And like before my heart was takin' it.
Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes.
Yesterday it seemed to me
My life was nothing more than wasted time
But here today you've softly changed my mind.
Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes.
Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay
Hold me in the morning
Love me in the afternoon
Help me find my way
Now and then just like before
I think about thhe love I've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway
The lonely days I spend away from you
Sometimes seem like they will never end
But then I picture the glow of your smiling face
And I can make it through the lonely days
And nights until I'm
Home
With you
Where we
Can see
And feel
Our love
Together again
My friend
The lonely nights I spend away from you
Are filled with memories of your dancing eyes
I feel I can make it through another day
Knowing that you'll be waiting to kiss me
Tenderly when I get
Home
With you
Where we
Can see
And feel
Our love
Together again
My friend
Together again
My friend
Together again
My friend
Together again
Together again
My friend
Skin tight
Fits me like a glove
Your love is
Skin tight
Yes indeed it is
Your love is
Alright
Anytime of day or night
Is alright
Skin tight
Skin tight
Fits me like a glove
Your love is skin tight
Only you can keep me going
All night
Love me till the cows come home
It's alright
Skin tight
Skin tight
Fits me like a glove
Your love is
Skin tight
Yes indeed it is
Your love is
Alright
Any time of day or night
Is alright
Skin tight
I can feel the magic
Suddenly it's all around
I can see it clearly
I can even hear the sound
It's all so new to me
I'm not the same
If this is love
Then you're to blame
Mama mama when you look at me
I see love in your eyes
Mama mama softly sweet tender love in your eyes
You are all I live for
Maybe that's enough to say
And you're the one I wrote this song for
Everywhere and everyway
It's all so new to me
I'm not the same
It's words I feel
But can't explain
Mama mama when you look at me
I see love in your eyes
Mama mama softly sweet tender love in your eyes
Mama mama, mama mama
I really love you
I really need you
Mama mama, mama mama
I really need you mama
I really love you mama
Here I go again
Why does the ghost of love still haunt me
It's all been cried about before
It's all been cried about before
Yes, it's all been cried about before
Still it's everywhere
Is it crying to be heard
Don't you think you've had your say
Don't you think you've had your say
Yes, don't you think you've seen your day
I don't know
No I don't
Don't I know
No I don't
I don't know
Not knowing if it's love
Is better than no thoughts of love at all
But it's been cried about before
I guess I'll cry for it some more
It's just the hope for love once more
It's just the hope for love once more
Come to me, baby mine
And I'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
I've been gone, far away
The days they seemed like years
Right by your side I'm gonna stay
Kiss away your tears
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And I'll make sweet love to you
Hold me tight, don't let go
We'll dream the whole day through
I missed you more than you could know
I love only you
Come to me, baby mine
And I'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And I'll make sweet love to you
I want to share the love that fills my being
If you're willing
Come along
Take of me this evening and this love
If you're lonely
Come let's be
There's no time for shyness
How fast night turns to day
Let's just light love's fire
And lay embraced till it burns away
We'll kiss goodbye and journey on to new loves
Keep our love
Till we meet again
Pulling myself out of a dead sleep
With the impression of the dream still fresh in my mind
Before I'm even awake, the words, the music were complete
I woke up that mornin'
Feelin' so rested and young
My mind was clear of all the problems
That been hasslin' my head
I couldn't quite understand why
I felt so fine
I felt so free
So beyond it all
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as it all came clear
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as it all came clear
I saw myself lyin' there
Didn't have a care
Piece of mind was finally mine
Now free to fly
Into the blue sky
Oh great spirit
Fly away
Oh great spirit
Just fly
Fly
Oh fly away
Dream, dream, dream
Dreams in the night
Take me back to you
The day comes
With it's friend
The morning blues again
Old days, good times I remember
Fun days filled with simple pleasures
Drive-in movies, comic books and blue jeans
Howdy doody, baseball cards and birthdays
Take me back to a world gone away
Memories seem like yesterday
Oh, old days, good times I remember
Gold days, days I'll always treasure
Funny faces full of love and laughter
Funny places, summer nights and streetcars
Take me back to a world gone away
Boyhood memories seem like yesterday
(Old days)
In my mind and in my heart to stay
(Old days)
Darkened dreams of good times gone away
(Old days)
Days of love and feeling fancy free
(Old days)
Days of magic still so close to me
(Old days)
In my mind and in my heart to stay
(Old days)
Darkened dreams of good times gone away
(Old days)
Days of love and feeling fancy free
(Old days)
I've never been in love before
Not like this you taught me more
Hung out by myself
Well I lived upon a shelf
And cried 'cause I thought I could not give
My pride would not let me live
All my feelings disappeared
You are lovely reason I
Am alive you satisfy
All my senses and you give
Me the confidence to grow
In a thousand different ways
Happy just to spend the days
Of my lifetime by your side
I want to be
Everything that I can
I want so much
To be more of a man
I want to grow
I want to know you better
Each day I'll try
To love you
'Cause I've never been in love before
You have a friend for life in me
If we ever disagree
And you have to go away
I will set you free with joy
'Cause your happiness is mine
May our light forever shine
May you always feel free
I want to be
Everything that I can
I want so much
To be more of a man
I want to live
I want to give my lifetime
Each day I'll try
To love you
'Cause I've never been in love before
You know I got to go
Got to find a place
Get away from the human race
Find a place where the air is clear
On a sunny day, sunny day
I got to find a hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, yeah, yeah
You know I got to leave
Got to find a place, any place
Get away from the city pace, city pace
I got to move out where the air is fresh and clear
On a sunny day, sunny day
[Instrumental]
Anyway you want to be
It's alright with me
Anything you want
It's alright with me
Know that I love you
Know that I need you
Anyway you want
It's alright with me
Baby let me love you
Do what I want to do
Anyway you want

Feels so good
Know that I love you

Baby let me love you
Yeah yeah
Yeah Yeah
It's alright it's alright it's alright
It's alright it's alright it's alright
Listen to the briskly whistling winter evergreen
Whispering through the frozen morning light
And tell me what's to come
Saying my time is near
Never fear
I close each year
I'm winter
Reminding me to trade my t-shirts for my woven wools
Trade my sandals for my skis
Whispered warnings in the wind
Saying soon come the dancing snowflakes
They're kissing every tree
They're kissing you and me
Please hurry
Falling
Dazzling dancing diamonds from the sky
Prisms
Rainbow sparkled flurries in our eyes
Whipping across the frozen crystal meadow
Pond of ice
Race the snow
We'll build a warming fire there
And cuddle close and wine and dine
The setting sun
The morning light will find us high
Shooting down the glistening mountain side
Screaming through the whispering pines
The freedom of each day
Will cleanse our minds
I can hardly wait for winter
I can hardly wait for the snow
I can hardly hardly wait for winter
I can hardly wait for the snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
How could I be happy
Without her by my side
Without her smiling face
At the sunrise
How could I keep living
With emptiness inside
With no one there to touch
At the sunrise
She gave meaning to my words
My funny words
She helped me find my way
I've been astray
The time I had to leave her
Leave her all alone
The way she looked at me
Made me cry
I know she understands me
She knows I'm feelin' bad
Until I'm back beside her
At the sunrise
[Instrumental]
Que pe chesa
Que pe chesa
Que pe chesa
Que pe chesa
[Instrumental]
Merely by chance
Very unsuspecting
You caught my heart
Unprotecting me
Now I've fallen in love with you
Just when I thought
I was free and easy
You came along to me
Soft and breezy
Now I've fallen in love with you
Woo hoo
I've fallen in love with you
And for the first time in my life
I know what it's like to be a happy man
Happy man
And for the first time in my life
You've given me something I can't understand
Being a happy man
Be with me now
Love me forever
Leaving you lady
Is something that I'd never do
I've fallen in love with you
All of my life it seems I have waited
Now I can say all these words I have stated are true
I've fallen in love with you
Woo hoo
Fallen in love with you Woo hoo
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
I saw her once before; she didn't turn me on.
One night she stopped to talk to pass the time.
And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow,
We sat and talked all night at Byblos.
She talked of feelings that I knew were true.
She painted me a picture using every shade of blue
It was light with laughter, at times it made me cry,
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her;
to squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her.
Then, soon she had to go;
I sat there all alone
And thought of things she said
The whole day through.
And then I realized,
I never took the time
To find out where she lived
Or where to call.
I thought that I would see her
The next night,
Anticipating how I'd set myself right.
Then, I went back to Byblos;
I sat there and waited,
Feeling just a little nervous
And a little frustrated.
Then, soon, in she came, looking just the same
Oo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game.
Then a person came in to the club
that I had to speak to
I explained the situation to her
And I thought she understood
But I guess she thought I was jiving her around
Cause when I looked for her, this is what I found
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine,
He was happening, I guess it was his time.
I really couldn't blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too.
But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew she'd do him good too.
Then I went home and I got it on,
Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone.
And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knew
where she was, so I could give her a call,
And I found out that she was right down the hall,
Not too far away,
But that's ok, I'll just wait for the day when I can see her again
And spend some time.
[Instrumental]
Maitre D's will seat me
Knowing what I spend
They offend
So sad so sad
Smiling faces greet me
Everyone's my friend
They pretend
So sad so sad
They see I am happy
With my lady
They're not satisfied
All their feelings died
Something in this city
Changes people
Makes them devil-eyed
My love she waits for me
When I'm far away
Counting days
So sad so sad
They all know our story
Still they try to play
Anyway
So sad so sad
Flashing cars and money
Funny faces
Egos magnified
Quite Unjustified
Something in this City
Changes People
Makes them devil-eyed
Jenny
Jenny
You know I'm goin' away
And you know my woman's here
Please don't you stray
Watch over her
You can run and bark and play
Your whole life through
And you can chase the cats around
'Cause she loves that too
If someone comes to cause her harm
You will protect her too
Oh Jenny
Jenny
Jenny
You got her while I'm gone
Time moves so slow
For someone who's alone
So comfort her
If she's feelin' low
You gotta be a card
And if she's fast asleep
Don't you sleep too hard
If someone comes to cause her harm
You gotta cut 'em down
Oh Jenny
Now maybe
It's gonna be alright
Won't have to fight
Won't have to bite
But then again
So sad but true
There's always someone waiting
Just to shit on you
And if she's fast asleep
Don't you sleep too hard
If someone comes to cause her harm
You gotta cut 'em down
Oh Jenny
Now maybe
It's gonna be alright
You won't have to fight
Never have to bite
But then again
You know it's sad but true
There's always someone waiting
Just to shit on you
You are my love in my life
And you are my inspiration
Just you 'n me
Simple and free
Baby you're everything I've ever dreamed of
Yeah, yeah
Give me your own special smile
Promise you'll never leave me
Just you 'n me
Simple and free
Life is so easy
When you're beside me
Oh girl
Come hold me close
Never release me
Oh baby don't release me
Open your arms, let my love in
Let me in, let me in, let me in
Love me tonight, love me forever
And ever
You know I can't forget you
Just you 'n me to carry on
Simple and free my lovely
To flow as one as love's reward
Lovin' you girl is so damn easy
Yeah, yeah
You are my love in my life
You are my inspiration
Just you 'n me
Simple and free
I do believe in you
And I know you believe in me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And now we realize
Love's not all that it's supposed to be
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day
I know we really tried
Together we had a love inside
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So now the time has come
For both of us to live on the run
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
After what you've meant to me
Ooh baby now
I can make it easily
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know that we both agree
The best thing to happen to you
The worst thing that happened to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Flying high, touch the sky
Going to places I
Never knew, so goodbye
And hello, long ago
I can see history
Standing still, a mystery
If you will pardon me
I'm away for the day
Feels so good to be soaring
'Cause LA was so boring
Goodbye
There must be room for growing
Somewhere else and I'm going
Goodbye
The days and nights have gone dry
What do you want?
What do you want?
I'm givin' everything I have
I'm even trying to see if there's more
Locked deep inside
I'll try, I'll try
Can't you see, this is me
What do you need?
What do you need?
Is it someone just to hurt
So that you can appear to be smart
And keep a steady job
Play god, play god
What do you really know
You parasite
You're dynamite
An oversight
Misunderstanding what you hear
You're quick to cheer
And volunteer
Absurdities, musical blasphemies
Oh Lord, save us all
What do you want?
What do you want?
I'm givin' every thing I have
I'm even trying to see if theres more
Locked deep inside
I'll try, I'll try
Looking back a few short years
When we made our plans and played the cards
The way they fell
Clinging to our confidence
We stood on the threshold of the goal
That we knew, dear
And though we had our fights
Had our short tempered nights
It couldn't pull our dreams apart
All our needs and all our wants
Drawn together in our heart
We felt it from the very start
It's all happened recently
Now we're living in that dream
We had not long ago
Everything is going fine
And now we just have to keep in mind
We must set brand new goals
We must not lose control
Of the possiblity of the discovery
That would let everybody see
That we were just meant to be
Can this feeling that we have together
Oooh, suddenly exist between
Did this meeting of our minds together
Oooh, happen just today, some way
I'd like to know
Can you tell me; please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing
Was your image in my mind so deeply
Oooh, other faces fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Oooh, leavin' just a burnin' love
I'd like to know
Can you tell me; please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby
Can this lovin' we have found within us
Oooh, suddenly exist between
Did we somehow try to make it happen
Oooh, was it just a natural thing
I'd like to know
Can you tell me -- please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby
Questions 67 and 68
Listen
If you think that we're here for the money
You could be right, you know
But the bread is not too good here
Wasn't always like that, you know
I said, "All you got to do is listen"
Listen
If you don't hear it you can tell us
If it's good you can tell us so
Or you can smile, that's alright my friend
It could be so nice, you know
If only you would listen
Listen
If you don't understand it, no no no no
You got to try to fly
And don't you put me down, please
For creating beyond your mind
"Eleven."
"Here we go."
(belch!)
"One, two, three, four"
This song is entirely instrumental. Except at the 12:54 time lapse spot, "Whoa, thank you people" has been summoned by Terry Kath's singing.
Hey there everybody
Please don't romp or roam
We're a little nervous
'Cause we're so far from home
So this is what to do
Sit back and let us through
And let us work on you
We've all spent years preparing
Before this group was born
With heaven's help it mended
And we do thank the Lord
Now we put you through the changes
And turned around the mood
We hope it struck you different
And hope you feel moved
So forget all of your troubles
As we search for something new
And we play for you
[Instrumental]
When I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we are,
Or what we're doing. I'm with you, that's all that matters.
Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing.
I wish I could sing it to you, oh no,
I wish I could sing it to you.
Mostly I'm silent.
Never think about words to say.
When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings.
I'm covered with chills all over my body.
And while I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words, oh no,
Try to put into words.
Mostly I'm silent.
Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever.
Only the beginning. Only just the start.
I've got to get you into my life.
Got to get you next to me.
Where are you taking me
I can't follow you there
What do you have in mind
You know that I don't care
Where do you think I'm at
I thought I made it clear
Please don't follow me back down
While I'm standing here
Early in the morning
Waiting for me to rise
The light of a new day dawning
Catches the sun in her eyes
Tonight tonight tonight
I'm standing here
And it's clear
I miss her
Tonight she's so far away
What else can I say
Because I know that she'll never let me down
And I know that she's gonna love me too
Tonight tonight tonight
I'm standing here
And it's clear
I need her
Tonight she's so far away
What else can I say
Because I know that she'll never let me down
And I know that she's gonna love me too
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
Now I must be off to work
I sweat all night in filth and dirt
Takin' things to get the power
Lord, give me strength to make these hours
Soon, my long work day is done
And I run home for the fun, yeah
Of an hour in the shower
Drum Solo
So when you wake up this morning
And those blues are hangin' 'round, yeah
Just listen baby
And I'll tell you what to do
I just may join you, 'neath your bed
And turn on your electric friend
Woah, and send those thoughts to me
'Cause you know where I'll be
And then you can join me
In my hour in the shower
Join me in my hour in the shower
[Instrumental]
You don't know how bad it's been
Since you been gone
Let me tell you how bad it's been
Since you been gone
People speak but I don't hear
Things all around seem to be unclear
I don't know
What will become of the love you turned off
What will become of the need you turned off
Loneliness is just a word
That's very cold
People stare but they don't see
All of the hurt that's inside me
I don't know
I don't want your money
It don't mean a thing
I don't need no fancy clothes
Or a diamond ring
I don't have to ride in style
In your limousine
I don't want no trouble
Tax or Uncle Sam
All I want is you
I want to be your natural man
I don't need your prestige
'Cause I got my pride
I don't want your social standing
I'd rather stand outside
I don't have no time to worry
'Bout your greedy jive
I don't want your money
I don't like that game
All I want is you
I want to be your natural man
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Etc.,
[Instrumental]
Today when I awoke
The morning blues hung over me
So, I looked it straight in the eye
I jumped into the shower
For 'bout an hour
Aw it was fine
Yeah, It helps me all the time
It's soothin' to mind
Just to see those blues
Go slippin' down the drain
Now I usually have my breakfast
Which consists of tasty spam
Yeah, I could eat it all day long
But I only love one brand
And I can't find it way out here
So, I have to take a pass
And settle for some hash
When I drive and you're not here
Oh, sweet sweet spam
Every day just gets a little shorter don't you think
Take a look around you, and you'll see just what I mean
People got to come together, not just out of fear
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?
Try to find a better place, but soon it's all the same
What once you thought was a paradise is not just what it seems
The more I look around I find, the more I have to fear
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?
I know it's hard for you to
Change your way of life
I know it's hard for you to do
The world is full of people
Dying to be free
So if you don't my friend
There's no life for you, no world for me
Let's all get together soon, before it is too late
Forget about the past and let your feelings fade away
If you do I'm sure you'll see the end is not yet near
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
If you'd like to get together
Then come right over to me
Ooh, We can do anything
That you like to do
If you'd like to give your love
Then please just feel free
Because I may be gone tomorrow
And not even know your name
Now please don't misunderstand my loneliness
Let's never ever talk of time
Cause friends may fade away
And our hopes will say goodnight
And our friendship would be lost
It would be such a waste of time
So let's just
Let's have a good thing girl
And let's not worry
Let's do everything we want
And let's not cry
When it's over
When I leave
Our thing won't die
If you really understand
Then come right over to me
We can play together for a while
And still be free
So hard to be
Free to
Love only you
People
Starin' at me
Try to
Take you away
There's no
Time to delay
We've got to live for today
I've got
So much to give
There is
So much to say
Night after night
Day after day
In spite of our words
They all turn away
[Instrumental]
If the people only knew
If they could visualize
Just open their eyes
Even stop to think about
If they could open their minds
They could get beyond
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny
Could the people understand
In only whisper and screams
And colorless dreams
Could they finally comprehend
If they could suddenly see
And suddenly feel
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny
Now I need you
More than ever
No more cryin'
We're together
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile
We know it's hard for you to see
That this is all we want to be
A constant urge within us grows
To do the thing that we propose
We tried so hard to make the grade
By making music day to day
Although our task is never done
You ought to know it's just begun
And now it's time for us to say
But most of all we like to play
A song or two that makes you feel
Like all the good in you is real
Together now we've lots to hear
To warm my heart to shed a tear
So come and listen if you choose
And feel a joy you'll never lose
So everybody listen
Yeah
Everybody please give a listen
Can't stand it no more
The people dying
Crying for help for so many years
But nobody hears
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend
Can't take it no more
The people hating
Hurting their brothers
They don't understand
They can't understand
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon
Hey, everybody
Won't you just look around
Can't anybody see?
Just what's going down
Can't you take the time?
Just to feel
Just to feel what is real
If you do
Then you'll see that we got a raw deal
They're killing everybody
I wish it weren't true
They say we got to make war
Or the economy will fall
But if we don't stop
We won't be around no more
They're ruining this world
For you and me
The big heads of state
Won't let us be free
They made the rules once
But it didn't work out
Now we must try again
Before they kill us off
No more dying!
No more killing
No more dying
No more fighting
We don't want to die
No, we don't want to die
Please let's change it all
Please let's make it all
Good for the present
And better for the future
Let's just love one another
Let's show peace for each other
We can make it happen
Let's just make it happen
We can change this world
Please let's change this world
Please let's make it happen for our children
For our women
Change the world
Please make it happen
Come on
Come on
Please
Come on
It's up to me
It's up to you
So let's do it now
Yeah
Do it now
Can't stand it no more
The people cheating
Burning each other
They know it ain't right
How can it be right
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend
Oh my reasons
And my ways
Keep on changing
From day to day
As I grow
It becomes so clear
Why I'm here
It's all here
For you and me
The beauty of life
Someday you'll see
Then you'll join in
And sing along
And you'll understand why I sing this song
Let me tell you now
I do love you
I do love you
I do love you
Well I'm talkin' bout life
And livin'
And the beautiful earth
And givin'
Talkin 'bout the natural things we've had since birth
That's lovin'
Well I'm talkin' 'bout a walk in the country
Mother Nature's sweet charm
The smell of her perfume
As we walk arm in arm
Let me tell you now
I do love you
I do love you
I do love you
Well it's a beautiful day
And I'm on my way
Oooh, thank you lord, for the country
Well my thoughts
Are like ripples in a stream
I see myself so free
My eyes and spirit say hello
My soul goes dancing by, oh hello
The clean fresh air
Goes jumping through my head
The sun is smilin' down
If you have ever lived out here
Then you know why I say
I do love you
I do love you
I do love you
So come on let's move
Out to the country
Yeah, let's go live out there
Come on people
Come on people
Yeah, let's be free
We got to be free
In the country
You and me
Come on people
Come on people
Better have a good time
We'll have a good time
We got to be free
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
Baby, so you think you can start again?
You got somebody new
But the same thing keeps happening
At the moment of truth
Whoever you're loving
You will be thinking of me
As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
Till Hell freezes over
I'll always be your man
Tell me
When you're there lying by his side
Do you make him believe
All your needs have been satisfied?
Does he know that your heart is taken forever?
Girl, you will always be mine
As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
Till Hell freezes over
I'll always be your man
Time can't erase
What you feel in your heart?
(You can't replace the love)
No, it doesn't matter how hard you try
Girl, you're gonna miss my loving
'Till the day you die
('Till the day, 'till the day)
Till Hell freezes over
I'll always be
As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
Till Hell freezes over
I'll always be your man
As long as Niagara falls
Until the end of time
Till Hell freezes over
I'll always be your man
As long as Niagara falls
Until the end of time
Till Hell freezes over
You are forever mine
As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
Till Hell freezes over
As long as Niagara falls
As long as Gibraltar stands
Since we talked half the night
Feelin' good, feelin' right
Words were spoke brought us close
When we touched it was overdose
On the road you're back there
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Open up, let me in
I am your paladin
When your smile shines on me
I am the seducee
We will fly everywhere
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Pa-pa-pa-party plan, get the phone
Did you read Rolling Stone?
Knowing you, knocked me out
I am your roustabout
Pretty good atmosphere
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Oh baby
"Everybody needs a little time away," I heard her say, "from each other."
"Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other."
Hold me now.
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you to stay.
After all that we've been through,
I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body.
Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.
Hold me now.
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you to know.
Hold me now.
I really want to tell you I'm sorry.
I could never let you go.
After all that we've been through,
I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
After all that we've been through,
I will make it up to you. I promise to.
I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what you got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe
You're a hard habit to break
You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin
After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I can't get ya out of my mind
Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe
You're a hard habit to break
I can't go on, just get, go on
I can't go on, just get, go on
Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
Such a hard habit to break
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
Such a hard habit to break
I'm addicted to you baby
Hey, got yourself a good thing, it's a good thing
It's a good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go
So you met someone who set you back on your heels
Goody goody
So you met someone and now you know how it feels
Goody goody
So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you
(Gave him your heart too)
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do?
So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night
Goody goody
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it comin' to ya
Goody goody for him, goody goody for me
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you
Good thing, got yourself a good thing
It's a good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go
So you met someone who set you back on your heels
Goody goody
So you met somebody and now you know how it feels
Goody goody
So you gave him your heart too just as I gave mine to you
(Gave him your heart too)
And he stuck it in his collection, section ninety-two
So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it comin' to ya
Goody goody for him, goody goody for me
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you
Hey, got yourself a good thing, good thing
Good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go
It's a good thing, got yourself a good thing
Good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go
Good thing, got yourself a good thing
Good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go
Good thing, got yourself a good thing
Good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free
I wanna be free from all the hurt
I wanna be free from all the pain
I wanna to end these lonely hours
I wanna to end these lonely days
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free
I do believe in you
And I know you believe in me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And now we realize
Love's not all that it's supposed to be
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day
I know we really tried
Together we had love inside
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So now the time has come
For both of us to live on the run
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
After what you've meant to me
Ooh baby now
I can make it easily
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know that we both agree
Best thing to happen to you
The best thing that happened to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day

Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep on looking for something I can´t get,
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed
The cats in the cradle who would've thought
That a boy like me could come to this
ChoruS:
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away, I should´ve walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list I try to be discrete
But then blow it again
I've lost and found
It's my final mistake she's loving but proxy
No give and all take 'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy on too many times.
ChoruS
It was a long hot night but she made it easy
She made it feel right
But now it's over the moment is gone
I followed my hands to my head
I know I was wrong
Thought it wouldn’t matter if we didn’t stay together
And if it was over, baby it was for the better
I was thinking I’d be alright til I thought it all through
Now I know that I ain’t really living if I have to live without you
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don’t wanna love nobody else
I don’t wanna find somebody new
I don’t wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you, with you
Guess I have to go away, so much I have to go through
Guess I had to lose you to realise how much I love you
Can’t we make the fire burn again, burn a little stronger
Cos I feel alone and baby I can’t be alone any longer
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I have to make it on my own
I don’t wanna love nobody else
I don’t wanna find somebody new
I don’t wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you
Oh if I have to make it on my own
My life will never be the same
My love would never be the same
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I have to make it on my own
And I don’t wanna love nobody else
I don’t wanna find somebody new
I don’t wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you
I don’t wanna live without your love
I don’t wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I have to make it on my own
I don’t wanna love nobody else
I don’t wanna find somebody new
I don’t wanna live without your love
As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was
on my watch, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had
stopped cold, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,
oh no, I just don't know,
I just don't know
And I said, yes I said
Background Vocal:
People runnin' everywhere
Don't know the way to go
Don't know where I am
Can't see past the next step
Don't have to think past the last mile
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around and think why
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to die
We can make it better
We can make it better
We can make it better
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We can change the world, now
We can change the world, now
We can change the world, now
We can save the children
We can save the children
We can save the children
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We can make it happen
We can make it happen
We can make it happen
Oh, we can make that happen
We can make it happen
We can make it happen

Oh, oh
We can save the children
We can save the children
We can save the children
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We can make it happen
We can make it happen
We can make it happen
We can make it happen, yeah
We can make it happen
We can make it happen, yeah
We can make it happen
We can make it happen, yeah
We can make it happen
We can make it happen, yeah
We can make it happen
We can make it happen, yeah
We can make it happen
Did the best I could to make you mine
If you ever felt anything for me
Well, you never gave a sign
Thought time would make you change
Make you want me but baby I never had a chance
Now, I know that there's just some things
Just not meant to be
No use makin' you care about me
No way that I'm gonna win
Oh darlin', I might as well be chasin' the wind
Oh, I'm just chasin' the wind
Open up my heart, let you inside
If love was what you we're lookin' for
Well, I guess it wasn't mine
So I guess I better go, it's over and done
But you know I'm not really sad at all
'Cause you can't really say it's over
When it never had begun
No use makin' you care about me
No way that I'm gonna win
Oh darlin', I might as well be chasin' the wind
Oh, I'm just chasin' the wind
Can't reach the sea if you can't get past the sand
Can't touch the sky if you can't reach up your hand
Can't give if you give nothin' back
No use makin' you care about me
No way that I'm gonna win
Oh darlin', I might as well be chasin' the wind
(No use makin' you care about me)
Makin' you care about me
No way that I'm gonna win
Oh darlin', I might as well be chasin' the wind
Oh, I'm just chasin' the wind
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
The memory of our caravan
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan, yeah
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
That shines upon our caravan
The feelin' is clear
Clear as a blue sky on a sunny day
Everything was you 'cause no one made me feel
The way I felt with you
Call on me 'cause
I love you
You know I do
You love me too
Then came a change
When I said, "I would soon be leavin' you"
Nothin' else to do
Oh please remember, I'll never lose the thought of you
Call on me 'cause
I love you
You know I do
You love me too
You've got to find
Someone else to somehow take my place
Share his love with you and if you need a friend
You can always count on me
Count on me 'cause
I love you
You know I do
You love me too
You can count on me oh
You can count on me
You can count on me baby
You can count on me
You can count on me oh
You can count on me
You can count on me baby
You can count on me
You can count on me oh
You can count on me
You can count on me baby
Come, let's talk just you and me
For once just let me be
The little boy you used to know
Relive that summer's bliss
Cos they came no more like this
Those were the days
The days when love was still in style
All I ever dreamed I'd be
Is what you are to me
Bigger than Elvis
And for all the missing years
A memory reappears
Bigger than Elvis
I saw you on TV
The king you were to me
Could you feel me watching you
At times my heart got mad
Only heroes are allowed to run free
That they could come back inside of me
All I ever dreamed I'd be
Is what you are to me
Bigger than Elvis
And for all the missing years
A memory reappears
Bigger than Elvis
We know the sadness of goodbyes
It must be the one that's bringing tears to your child's eyes
Oh, from now on I'll walk with you
Making music like you do
Would you believe I always knew
You were never hard to take
In some mysterious way
Bigger than Elvis
And for all the missing years
Your memory reappears
Bigger than Elvis
Now I've found the missing years
Forgotten all my tears
There is a time when a man needs someone to talk to
Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there
All alone, nothin' seemed to matter
So alone, doesn't get much better
Can't explain somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time
There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto
Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere
All alone, suddenly you see her
So alone, you know you're gonna need her
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time
CHORUS:
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way that you're feelin' tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
There was a time when you needed someone to count on
You needed someone to count on
Someone to care
Now she's here, nothin' seems to matter
She's so near, everything is better
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time

After the love has gone
For awhile to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew and your eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true for awhile
We paid no mind to the past, we knew love would last ev’ry night
Somethin’ right would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin’ happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin’ happened along the way
Yesterday was all that we had
And oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh oh oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found?
For awhile to love each other was all
We would ever need love was strong for so long
We never knew that what was wrong wasn’t right
We tried to find what we had till sadness was all that we shared
We were scared this affair would take our love in two
Somethin’ happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Somethin’ happened along the way
Yesterday was all that we had
Ooh and love after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found?
Oh, woh, woh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found?
Oh, woh, woh
Oh, woh, woh
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found?
Oh, woh, woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found?
Woh woh woh
As my love goes on I believe
Somehow something's changed
Something deep inside
Ooh a part of me
There's a strange new light in my eyes
Things I've never known
Changin' my life
Changin' me
I've been searchin'
So long
To find an answer
Now I know my life has meaning
Ow oh
Now I see myself as I am
Feeling very free
Life is everything
Ooh it's meant to be
When my tears have come to an end
I will understand
What I left behind
Part of me
I've been searching
So long
To find and answer
Now I know my life has meaning
Woah woah
Searching
Don't you know I'm hell yeah
For an answer
To the question
Oh yeah
For our minds
Baby
Baby it's true
It's only natural
It's only natural baby, yeah
Good things
In life
Take a long time
Come to me, lonely, come to me, blue, yeah
Come to me, weary, come to me, do, yeah, yeah
I will refresh you, come to me, do
Come to me often, I'll come to you, I'll come to you
Always in my heart, always a song
This is the good part
You'll always know where you belong
Come to me, darlin', ooh baby
Come to me, darlin'
Come to me, happy, come to me, bad
Come to me looking what you ain't had
I will sustain you, come to me, do
Come to me, often, I'll come to you, I'll come to you
You are the kind one, I've waited so long
How does one find one?
You always know where you belong
Come to me, darlin', ooh, ooh, baby
Come to me, darlin', ow
Come to me, darlin', come to me, darlin'
Come to me, darlin', ow
Oh, come to me, darlin', oh baby
Come to me, darlin'
Come to me, darlin', darlin'
Come to me, darlin', darlin'
Come to me, darlin', darlin'
I used to be the first one to cry
So afraid of a lonely tomorrow.
Heartache was all that I had
To call my own- so all alone.
You came along and gave to my life
Something more than the pain and the sorrow.
Now that you're with me, we'll never be alone,
In love, in love.
Chorus:
I believe
In the love that you gave,
I believe
In the life that you saved,
I believe how you make me feel
Today
I believe in you
Night after night, I waited alone
For something deeper than yesterday's feelings.
Never believing that love would ever come
To me- oh no.
Then there was you, and out of the blue,
Once a heart that was broken was healing.
Love is the reason we'll never be alone,
Oh no- oh no
Chorus
I still believe,
Believe in something right.
'cause I love you for believing in me.
I believe in you.
I thought for the rest of my life
You'd see me through it
Guess, all along I knew it
Nothing mattered, everything was all right
When you saw to it
Before I knew it you were gone, long gone
You said, you would always be there
When I believed you
I was a fool to need you
Gave my love then I gave you my heart
And then you flew it
Before I knew it you were gone, long gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
I thought for the rest of my life
You'd see me through it
Yes, all along I knew it
Didn't matter and it didn't seem right
And then you flew it
Before I knew it
You were gone, long gone
Gone long gone
He was lost, uncertain only she could see
He was waiting for the night to end
And with just one kiss
Brought him back into the light again
He said, "Nothin's gonna stop us now"
He said, "Baby, nothing's gonna stop us now"
But tonight, she's waiting
For a strangers touch at the dark end of a street
And the whispered words from the sidewalk
They sound so sweet
She said, "Nothin's gonna stop us now"
She said, "Baby, nothin's gonna stop us now"
Look out now, 'cause she'll break your heart again
No one sees what the years have failed to mend, yea
Standin' there beneath the street lights
Tellin' secrets in the darkest night
Heaven's just a stolen kiss away, yea
Nothin's gonna stop us now
Look out now, 'cause she'll break your heart again
No one sees what the years have failed to mend, yea
Standin' there beneath the street lights
Tellin' secrets in the darkest night
Heaven's just a stolen kiss away, yea
And her look, it lingers
On a restless night
When you're back on the street again
With his empty dreams
There's another broken heart to mend
He said, "Nothin's gonna stop us now"
(Woh uh oh)
Nothin's gonna stop us now
Nothin's gonna stop us
(Woh)
Nothin's gonna stop us now
Nothin's gonna stop us
(Woh)
Nothin's gonna stop us now
Nothin's gonna stop us
(Woh)
She said, "Nothin's gonna stop us now"
Oh, my pretty baby
(Woh uh oh)
Fireworks, fireflies
On the roof watching summer night skies
All the boys, all the girls
All the time making love with our eyes
Life just went on for us, day after day
We could fly, oh!
Cocky, so confident
There was no way
We could die
Over, over and over again
Life is a circle
But it's over and over again
Over, over, hey
Little words, little games
The dramas we played, left behind
Little friends, little names
Puppy lovers we had, love was blind
Life just went on for us day after day
Screaming by, oh!
Fast as a shooting star
Cruising the midnight sky
Over, over and over again
Life is a circle
But it's over and over again
Over, over, hey
It just goes on forever
It just goes on forever
Over, over and over again
Life is a circle
But it's over and over again
(Aah it just goes on an' on)
Over over and over again
(Over and over again)
Life is a circle
But it's over and over again
(Day after day)
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
The memory of our caravan
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan, yeah
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
That shines upon our caravan
When all the laughter dies in sorrow
And the tears have risen to a flood
When all the wars have found a cause
In human wisdom and in blood
Do you think they'll cry in sadness
Do you think the eye will blink
Do you think they'll curse the madness
Do you even think they'll think
When all the great galactic systems
Sigh to a frozen halt in space
Do you think there will be some remnant
Of beauty of the human race
Do you think there will be a vestige
Or a sniffle or a cosmic tear
Do you think a greater thinking thing
You can count on a number of things
Like tomorrow the sun's gonna shine
There'll be flowers in spring time
Poets will make rhymes
Couples in moonlight are so ripe to fall
Fallin' in love, such a natural thing
There's a look in that one person's eyes
And the moment we know it
We don't want to blow it
So we get way too careful and it all slips away
You've always told me
You can do better
And something would always come along,
And so I listened, down to the letter
'Til somebody better came along
You... you can do better
Talkin' to you, you, you, you...
You gotta do better
Now I feel like I'm swimming upstream
When the current is running so strong
I'm a fish out of water
The first time I saw you
Couldn't keep it together
Don't care if I'm wrong
But it seems like forever
Since we got along
You've always told me
You can do better
And something would always come along
And so I listened, down to the letter
'Til somebody better came along
You said it so often
You thought I'd believe it
That I was always doin' it wrong,
But you always said that
You could take it or leave it
So, somebody better came along
(Repeat last two verses)
You... You can do better, better.
Talkin' to you, you, you...
I picture you on the beach
Lying in the sand
Out of reach of my trembling hands
I picture you in a car
Blonde hair in the wind
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin
The smile on your face
The way that you taste
(chorus)
You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I can't stop this ache inside
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
Driving home in the cold
January rain
I've got to find my way out of this pain
I reached for you in the night
I dreamed of your kiss
I woke before it got light
With your name on my lips
Alone in my bed
Your voice in my head
(chorus)
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin
The smile on your face
The way that you taste
You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I can't stop this ache inside
Oh, I have no defenses
You come to my senses
A warm summer night
The moon above us
The stars for a wish come true
Are memories of love
A motionless pound
A beautiful swan
The smell of flowers growing near
Make me shed a tear
Memories of love gone by
Make me stop and cry
Now I kneel and pray
For the lord took her today
And all that's left to think of
Ooh wee, skinny mama look good to me
Yesiree, little Miss. Lovin'
I'm down upon my knees
I want to tell you that I'm beggin' please
Yes indeed, little Miss. Lovin', for little Miss. Lovin'
Sweet sixteen, mighty fine in your tight blue jeans
Come on, come on to me, little Miss. Lovin'
And baby, you tear me up
And you kill me when you strut that stuff
Mighty tuff, little Miss. Lovin', little Miss. Lovin'
Just because I need you, I sing my song
Even though I'm gone tomorrow
If you don't believe me then come along
I will always love you so
I love you little mama and I can't let go
Ooh wee, pretty baby, look good to me
Yesiree, little Miss. Lovin', loviness
I'm down upon my knees
I'm a fool for the younger squeeze
Yes indeed, little Miss. Lovin', little Miss. Lovin'
Just because I need you, I sing my song
Even though I'm gone tomorrow
If you don't believe me then come along
I will always love you so
I love you pretty mama and I can't let go
Sweet sixteen, mighty fine in your blue jeans
Come to me little Miss. Lovin'
Baby, you're lookin' fine and mama, I can read your mind
Come on anytime, little Miss. Lovin', little Miss. Lovin'
Little Miss. Love, love, love, love, love, love
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
Little Miss. Lovin', yeah, yeah
My mama done told me when I was in knee-pants
My mama done told me, she said
"Son, a woman will sweet-talk ya, she'll give you the big eye
But when that sweet talkin' is done
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night"
Now the rain's a fallin', hear the train a callin', whoo ee
Hear the lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, whoo ee
Whoo ee a whoo ee, ol' clickety-clack
I'm back on the track of blues in the night
The evening breeze will start the trees to cryin'
And the moonlight'll hide its light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockingbird
He will sing the saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds seem to blow
I've been in some big towns and I've heard me some big talkin'
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face, she's a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
Got a case of the blues in the night
Oh girl
I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Oh girl
I think you got a messed up mind
But if you will take the time
Baby I can set you free
Well I'm not trying to be
What I am not
But I think what you need
Is what I got
Girl I'm no philosopher
But I can offer you that cure
To mend your broken heart
I know that you are not blind
I know you see my messed up mind
I bet you see my broken heart too
So won't you
Bring your heart and your mind
That's out on the run
Fuse them with my broken heart
In my mind
We'll be one
Girl I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Girl I think you got a messed up mind
Now that you know yours is just like mine
Wish I knew what was going wrong
Seems so very long since we laughed together
It's no good to be all alone
When you hurt a friend
And you both feel empty
What I'd give to erase the pain
Will we ever make the grade
Is it over or shall we try again
For a brand new love affair
Seems to me
We are both afraid
That our love may fade and we just won't make it
Maybe soon we'll be friends again
Find ourselves and then
Really make it happen
What I'd give to erase the pain
Will we ever make the grade
Is it over or shall we try again
For a brand new love affair
Start all over again
And do it up the right way
Come together my friend
And celebrate the new day
I can hardly believe
How much I really love you baby
All tomorrows will be
There's a time when the heart can no longer give in
You'll try to stand up and fight
You've known pain for so long
And you know what's gone wrong
But you can't make it right
Another broken heart is all your feeling
How can you go on but the memories of times
There was love in your eyes, keep leading me on
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Or give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what you would do, if it were you
You can never take back all you've given in love
No matter how hard you try
It's over and done you just have to let go
Though a part of you died
Another waste of time is all that's left now
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought
They would end, why can't they go on
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope
That it might bring back the love we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do, if it were you
If it were you
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
Over and over I go back through time
Didn't we promise our love till we die
Asking you deep down inside
Did we really try
Another broken heart is all that is left
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought
They would end , why can't they go on
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Or give up forever that part of your life
When I saw your face
I could feel my heartbeat begin to race
In the still of the night
It was love at first sight
Not too long ago
I was on my own
Never would have known
You'd come into my life
Now, you're the love of my life
Chorus:
Once in a lifetime
Maybe the last time
Just the right time to fall in love
Once in a lifetime
For such a long time
I've been waiting for you
You were there for me
It was there for you
We were meant to be
Now we're fallin' in love
Finally fallin' in love
Why...do you love me like you do
Baby you deserve much more
Why...after all I've put you through
Would you stick around for more
Heaven's at my feet now that I've found you
Life seems so complete when I'm around you
No one else could touch me quite so deeply
No one's love could satisfy me so sweetly
Love me till the end of time
Why...even though you know I'm crazy
Do you still believe in me
Why...does a smile come so easy
Baby, since you set me free
Free from all the weary wasted hours
Free from all those meaningless encounters
Free to live our lives the way we want to
Free to realize just what we've been through
Love me till the end of time
Heaven's at my feet now that I've found you
Life seems so complete when I'm around you
No one else could touch me quite so deeply
No one's love could satisfy me so sweetly
Love me till the end of time
Shadows were hiding what I couldn’t see
Out in the dark she was calling to me
Calling to me with the voice I’d never forget
She was a vision I couldn’t believe
I held her close so that she wouldn’t leave
Suddenly helpless, hopelessly falling in love
I remember the feeling
I remember the way
She came up and wrapped her arms around me
Told me that she cared
Said she’d always be there
Taking me places I’d never been
She had the beauty that comes from within
Was I just dream‘in or was it too good to be true
I was a man all alone in the night
She came along and she showed me the light
I was confused then she told me the way
I was alone and I begged her to stay
She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke she was gone
I remember the feeling
I remember the way
She came up and wrapped her arms around me
Told me that she cared
Said she’d always be there
She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke, I could see that she was gone.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh she was gone
Wake up sunshine, open up your sleepy eyes for me
(Can't have you hidin')
I've been waiting all the night
People waiting for the light, sunshine, sunshine
Wake up sunshine, let me feel your warm sunlight on me
(Can't have you hidin')
Night was long and night was cold
But today we're one day older, sunshine, you make my life sunshine
You know I'm talkin' to you, I know you're knowin' it too
So just stop hidin' your face, just open your eyes
Just smile your smile, I'm talkin' to you
Wake up sunshine, oh it's good to have you here with me
(Can't have you hidin')
Can't imagine what I'd do
But feel too lonely without you, sunshine, sunshine
Tomorrow is teasing me.
Time seems to run away from the future.
But this could be that lucky day.
A dream is make believe until
Blood, sweat, and tears turn pain to will.
It's gonna take some doing for me
To show them the way.
I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Building a wall of stone.
Sometimes you know what's right
Sometimes wrong is better than nothing.
They cast a stone so heavy to turn.
I believe in a love so true.
I believe you get what's coming to you.
We get so tired of living a dream
For some other day.
I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Wall of stone around the two of us.
That only angels can break through.
Looks like it's another of those long nights.
Will we always be alone?
Let's not stop before it's done.
I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
I'll take the stone of sisyphus.
Wall of stone round the two of us.
Cloudy every morning, sun don't never shine
Cloudy every morning, sun don't ever shine, no
Since I lost my baby, I been losing my mind
I thought this was a warm place, I must be in the wrong place
Thought this was a warm place, I must be in the wrong place
And I don't know where I'm going
Since my lover left me, no, no smile on my face
I am he is you are he is you are me and we are all together
Whoa, whoa
Buddy, ain't this LA? I've traveled such a long way
Buddy, ain't this LA? I've traveled such a long way
And I still don't know where I'm going
But without my baby here, I better not stay
Would you look around you now
And tell me what you see
Faces full of hate and fear
Faces full of me
Do you feel the rumblings?
As your head comes crumbling down
Do you know what I mean
Run, you better run you know
The end is getting near
Feel the wind of something hard
Come whistling past your ear
As they try to get you
Where it will upset you down
Now you know what I mean
Someday you will see how long
We've waited for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all
Twist and turn your head around
Till everything's unclear
Twist and turn your arm around
Until it is not there
And they'd love to burn you
Or at least to turn you around
Now you know what I mean
Can you look around you now
And tell us what's to be
Can you look inside yourself
And tell us what you see
As you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
And you know what I mean
Someday you will see how long
We've waited for the time
To show you how we've died
While the city sleeps
Men are scheming
New ways to kill us
And tell us dirty lies
While the city sleeps
Earth is crumbling
Everyone's talking
And doing not a thing
While the city sleeps
Men are dreaming
A world enlightened
You know
our love was meant to be
the kind of love that lasts forever.
And I want you here with me from tonight
until the end of time.
You should know
everywhere I go
Always on my mind
in my heart
in my soul
baby.
You're the meaning in my life
you're the inspiration.
You bring feeling to my life
you're the inspiration.
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin':
No one needs you more than I need you.
And I know
I know that it's plain to see:
So in love when we're together.
Now I know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time.
You should know
everywhere I go
Always on my mind
you're in my heart
in my soul.
You're the meaning in my life. you're the inspiration. . . .
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin':
No one needs you more than I need you.
You're the meaning in my life
you're the inspiration.
You bring feeling to my life
you're the inspiration.
When you love somebody 'til the end of time
When you love somebody
always on my mind
No one needs you more than I.
When you love somebody 'til the end of time
. . .
Whenyoulove somebody 'til the end of time
A chauffeur dressed in gray, holds a sign, in leather gloves
With instructions to meet the VIP upon arrival
Father, mother and sister, trading smiles and playful shoves
And their son is coming back home, coming to stay, ooh, woh, woh
A lovely teenage queen stands there, waits for the boy she loves
And she dreams of the summertime with him, upon arrival
Now announcing the touchdown of the flight, it's right on time
And a wave of excitement sweeps the room, ooh, woh, woh, ooh, woh, woh
Each second of every minute seems eternal, time standing still
Hearts beating quicker, minds racing fast
Then suddenly shouts of laughter, tears of joy, flashes of light
Handshake, introductions, lovers kiss
Now, as the people go separate ways, I stand amazed
Everyone has a story you could tell, upon arrival
Still a girl in dark glasses waits until everyone's gone
And she weeps, she's all alone, her love is lost, ooh, woh, woh
Can this feeling that we have together
Suddenly exist between
Did this meeting of our mind together
Happen just today somewhere
I'd like to know
Can you tell me please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind as a beautifully mysterious thing
Got to know now baby
(Instrumental)
Can this love that we have found within us
Suddenly exist between
Did we somehow try to make it happen
Was it just a natural thing
I'd like to know
Can you tell me please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby
(And now Ladies and Gentlemen
The keeper of the keys
The countess of the clink
The mistress of murderer's row
Matron Mama Morton)
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell you I'm the biggest mutha hen
I love them all and all of them love me
Because the system works the system called reciprocity
Got a little motto
Always sees me through
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you
There's a lot of favors
I'm prepared to do
You do one for Mama
She'll do one for you
They say that life is tit for tat
And that's the way I live
So I deserve a lotta tat
For what I've got to give
Don't you know that this hand
Washes that one too
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you
If you want my gravy
Pepper my Ragu
Spice it up for Mama
She'll get hot for you
When they pass that basket
Folks contribute to
You put in for Mama
She'll put out for you
The folks atop the ladder
Are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder kid
And I'll boost you up yours
Let's all srtoke together
Like the Princeton Crew
When you're strokin' Mama
Mama's strokin' you
So what's the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
[Bill sings:]
Where did you go?
What happened to the life we had?
It took an unexpected turn
And even though we tried so hard
We only got so far
Oh, what did we learn?
[Shelly sings:]
Another day
Another night without you here
And nothing ever seems to change
And I know I can't escape
Because I always see your face
Every time I close my eyes
[Chorus:]
[Bill and Shelly sing:]
If the sun can rise above us
Every single morning
If the moon can turn the tide
Of every sea
People falling in and out of love
Without a warning
They get a second chance
Then Why Can't We?
[Bill, Shelly:]
If there's a way
To let me in your world again
And put the pieces back in place
If we take it one day at a time
Who knows what we may find
Our love never went away
And we can get stronger every day!
[Chorus]
Aren't we tired of savin' all the same old faces
And pretending that we're better off alone
And maybe deep inside we both know that our place is
Here all along... here all along
People falling in and out of love without a warning
They get a second chance, then why can't we?
Why can't folks get along with one another
It was Jesus said you got to love your brother
No one seems to notice all the evil in the air
No one seems to really give a damn if it is there
Oh, what's this world comin' to
Hope for love, come on through, come on through
People finally get themselves together
Makin' life - Ooh - a whole lot better
Yeah, yeah
Some folks got a lot, and some are hungry
Well I said some folks have to live from day to day
Rich folks spend their time just countin' money
Poor folks really ain't got much to say
What's this world comin' to
Hope for love, come on through, come on through
I said now people finally get themselves together
Makin' life - Ooh - a whole lot better
Yeah, yeah
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
Oh people got to get their things together
Ain't no time to lose just time to die
All of us can make this world a better place to be
All of us can feel how good it feels to be free
Woah, what's this world comin' to
Hope for love, come on through, me and you
People got to get it together
What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary.
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king, to own him.
The King of kings salvation brings,
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas and as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas, the fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a very special Christmas
For me, yeah, ooh
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas and as I look around
Your eyes, I'll shine the town, they do
This Christmas the fireside is blazing bright, yeah
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a very special Christmas
For me, yeah
Shake a hand, shake a hand, yeah, ohh, yeah, ooh
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas for me
A very special Christmas
For me
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas and as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together this Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be, merry Christmas
For me, yeah
Shake a hand, shake a hand
I'm gonna get to know you better, yeah, ooh
So you need to kick up your heels
Baby, I can understand
Don't you know how it's making me feel?
I wanna be your only man
When it comes right down to the wire
I just need a touch of your fire
But you're livin' it up
You're givin' it up
Seems I'm always waiting for you
To find your yesterday
I think I know what you're tryin' to do
I got a better way
Baby, soon enough it will end
You'll be reachin' out for a friend
But now you're livin' it up
You're givin' it up all the time
Please be mine
So good at the runaround
You're still making me wait outside
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to stand in line
It's my turn, baby, please just let me in
Though you're always out on the town
I feel your loneliness
While your life is leading you 'round
It's just like an empty kiss
When it comes right down to the truth
Well, it comes right down to you
You've been givin' it up and losin' in love every time
Please be mine
So good at the runaround
You're still making me wait outside
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to stand in line
It's my turn, baby, please
So good at the runaround
I still fall for the same old lies
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to lose this time
It's my turn, baby, let me in, just let me in
The way you talk, the things you've done
Make me wish I was the only one
Who could ever have made you laugh now?
Who could have made you, made you want to cry?
To have been there, the day
You first whispered, "I love you"
Yes, I love you
When you discovered all those new things
And when you first, first met the world
When you felt beautiful and you said 'Hello'
To everything you saw if I could have been all
So I could have known you all those times
I love you, yes, I love you
Caught in a love storm
Howlin' like a newborn
Trying hard to stay warm
My cover-up is torn up and tattered
Addiction to Apocalypse
Looking for the big hit
Tending to take trips
The ship of love is beat up and battered
Time after time I blow me away
Sign on the streets now
Brother let me pray now
Winter's here, I believe it's here to stay
I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who want to stay out of hell
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
Till you been there, you won't get well
I was sitting in a room I'd never recognize it
With a picture before my eyes
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
I'm not sure this qualifies
Lost in a crosswalk
Battle only half fought
Crawling 'cause I can't talk
Childhood finally caught up with me
Flashing like a neon
Noisy as an A-bomb
Looking to the beyond
Staring into the half-life of eternity
Time after time I blow me away
Time on the street now
Brother let me pray now
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay
I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who want to stay out of hell
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
Till you been there, you won't get well
I was sitting in a room I'd never recognize it
With a picture before my eyes
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
I'm not sure this qualifies
I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who swear they need to be saved
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
You can trust me I will be brave
New York, New York, The Big Apple
New York, New York
New York, New York
16 million feet stepping on each other
New York is a state of mind
Time after time I blow me away
Time on the street now
Brother let me pray now
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay
I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who want to stay out of hell
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
Till you been there, you won't get well
I was sitting in a room I'd never recognize it
With a picture before my eyes
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
I'm not sure this qualifies
I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who swear they need to be saved
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
You can trust me I will be brave
I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who swear they need to be saved
I've been sleeping in the middle of the bed again
One, two, three, four
Sing a mean tune, kid
Sock 'em in the gut, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing a mean tune, kid, oh yeah
Sock 'em in the gut, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you ever let your Mama catch you cryin', yeah
Oh yeah
Play the bad song, kid
Everyone's the blues, yeah, yeah, yeah
Play the bad song, kid
Everyone's the blues, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the people never know you're only lying
Sing a mean tune
Yeah
What a scary song, kid
Never heard before, yeah, yeah, yeah
What a scary song, kid
Never heard before, yeah, yeah, yeah
Soon the groupies will start rolling by your door
Look out, oh yeah
Burn the groove to death, kid
Nail 'em to the cross, yeah, yeah, yeah
Burn the groove to death, kid, oh yeah
Nail 'em to the cross, yeah, yeah, yeah
Till you're not a super pop star any more, yeah
Everyday he wakes up as his bare feet hit the floor
Grabs a cup of coffee straps his magnum on once more
Feeds the cat he lives with since his wife walked out the door
In nine years he'll retire with a pension
Everyday he suffers 'cause he sees all kinds of pain
Sometimes feels helpless in a world that's gone insane
Then he wins a battle, it restores his faith again
It's only human kindness he is after
He is a policeman, you know
All the years and nothing to show
He is a policeman, you know
Every night he comes home with a six pack all alone
Feeds the cat he lives with he picks up the telephone
Needs to talk with someone but the only love he's known
Was lost forever, he is a policeman
He is a policeman, you know
All the years and nothing to show
He is a policeman, you know
All the years and nothing to show
Nothing to show
He is a policeman, you know
He is a policeman, you know
He is a policeman, you know
Oh, what a beautiful night
The stars are shining bright
I've not been feeling right
Not been feeling right
I've not been feeling right
Soon it's gonna change
Time to rearrange
Stop this acting strange
Found us a beautiful place
A perfect time and space
And now we can retrace
Now we can retrace
Now we can retrace
All we have begun
New oblivion
Havin' lots of fun
Got to get back inside
Dreams and thoughts collide
Save you from this crazy
Save you from this crazy
Save you from this crazy life
Please be good to me
My last chance to be free
This mountain majesty
It's all show business kid
These trials, the whole world, show business
But kid, you're workin' with a star, the biggest
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll never catch wise
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bamboozler
Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance
Though you are stiffer than a girder
They let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act that's unassailable
They'll wait a year 'till you're available
Give 'em the old, double whammy
Daze and dizzy 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorcerer you are
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot, you got no talents?
Razzle dazzle 'em, razzle dazzle 'em
Roxie: There's only one person who can help ya now, Roxie
Velma: There's only one person you can count on now, Velma
And now, Miss Roxie Hart and Miss Velma Kelly sing a song
Of unrelenting determination and unmitigated ego
One thing I know
One thing I know
And I've always known
And I've always known
I am my own
I am my own
Best friend
Baby's alive
Baby's alive
But baby's alone
But baby's alone
And baby's her own
And baby's her own
Best friend
Many's the guy
Who told me he cares
But they were scratchin' my back
'Cause I was scratchin' theirs
And trusting to luck
And trusting to luck
That's only for fools
Only for fools
I play in a game
I play in a game
Where I make the rules
And rule number one
From here to the end
Is I am my own best friend'
Three musketeers
Who never say die
Are standing here this minute
Myself
Myself
And I
And I
If life is a school I'll pass every test
If life is a game I'll play it the best
'Cause I wont give in and I'll never bend
If someone stood up in a crowd
And raised his voice up way out loud
And waved his arm
And shook his leg
You'd notice him
If someone in a movie show
Yelled "fire in the second row,
This whole place is a powder keg!"
You'd notice him
And even without clucking like a hen
Everyone gets noticed, now and then,
Unless, of course, that personage should be
Invisible, inconsequential me
Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister Cellophane
Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there
I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister Cellophane
Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there
Suppose you was a little cat
Residin' in a person's flat
Who fed you fish and scratched your ears
You'd notice him
Suppose you was a woman wed
And sleepin' in a double bed beside one man for seven years
You'd notice him
A human being's made of more than air
With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there
Unless that human bein' next to you
Is unimpressive, undistinquished
You know who
Should have been my name
Mister Cellophane
Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I"m there
I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister Cellophane
Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there
Nowadays
(Ladies and gentlemen, miss Roxie Hart says goodnight)
It’s good, isn’t it grand, isn’t it great
Isn’t it swell, isn’t it fun, isn’t it nowadays
There’s men, everywhere jazz, everywhere booze
Everywhere life, everywhere joy, everywhere nowadays
You can like the life you’re living
You can live the life your like
You can even marry Harry
But mess around with Ike
And that’s good, isn’t it grand, isn’t it great
Isn’t it swell, isn’t it fun, isn't it... but nothings stays
You can like the life you’re living
You can live the life your like
You can even marry Harry
But mess around with Ike
And that’s good, isn’t it grand, isn’t it great
Isn’t it swell, isn’t it
Going where the orange sun has never died
And your swirling marble eyes shine
Laughing, burning blue the light
Bittersweet the drops of life, memories only fading
Fancy colors
Fancy colors
All we ever did see when we're down at the sea
We see things so very fine at the sea
Fancy colors
Fancy colors
And all we ever can do the morning covered with dew
We do things so very fine in the dew
Fancy colors
Fancy colors
And all we ever do hear, but whether we're there or here
Just when I found myself
Back against the wall
You saved my life
With a telephone call
Far across the sea
You thought of me
I never thought I'd ever see
The happy days you brought to me
Lifesaver, lifesaver
Lifesaver, lifesaver
Lifesaver, lifesaver
Hey lifesaver, lifesaver play on
You're a lifesaver honey
I'm a lot braver too
You're a lifesaver baby
I'd do anything for you
You're a lifesaver honey
I'm a lot braver too
You're a lifesaver baby
I'd do anything for you
You're a lifesaver honey
You're a lifesaver honey
I'm a lot braver too
I'm a lot braver too
You're a lifesaver baby
You're a lifesaver baby
Do anything for you
Do anything for you
You're a lifesaver honey
You're a lifesaver honey
