As it was in the beginning
It will be until the end.
Your money buys you people,
But it will not buy you friends.
Your life is an illusion,
So live it day by day.
Just draw your own conclusion,
It's gonna happen anyway
Now you've been around
The things you've found
Just get you down.
A life of ease
Makes hard to please,
You have it all.
No one tells you why
The things you buy
Don't get you high.
The life you lead,
Just what you need.
It isn't there.
Does no one care?
As it was in the beginning
It will be until the end.
Your money buys you people,
But it will not buy you friends.
Your life is an illusion,
So live it day by day
Just draw your own conclusion,
Somewhere in daydreams the things you won't find,
Rain hiding tears without traces.
I know that deep down no reason or rhyme,
Even the smile on our faces.
Time goes so slowly, day after day,
Time goes, love grows.
Only the fears as you go through the years,
Till the last sand of time blows away,
The last sand of time blows away.
Locked up with freedom you don't want at all,
In crowds there is no-one to turn to.
Down when you're high is a long way to fall,
And all the mistakes you won't learn through.
Time is for ever and no-one can say,
Time shows, love goes.
Only the fears as you go through the years,
Till the last sand of time blows away.
The right to sing,
The right to play,
The right to do the things I feel in my own way,
And if you took it all and asked me to pretend,
You'd be breaking a heart that won't mend.
The right to win,
The right to lose.
The right to fall in love with anyone I choose.
And when it's my mistake and everything goes wrong,
I would write what I feel in a song.
They know it all,
Where is the answer?
They can only see what's down in black and white.
Back to the wall,
Just a romancer,
To sing and play my music is my life.
The right to laugh,
The right to dream,
The right to know that people say just what they mean.
And if it turns out that my hopes were not to be,
Then there's no one to blame, only me.
The right to live,
The right to breathe,
The right to stand by all the things that I believe.
Can't say I know it all, but someone has to try,
I will stand or I will fall, live or die,
People always rushing round,
Makin' time to fuss and to worry.
Get your feet back on the ground,
It's no good to live in a hurry.
Take it easy in your mind,
No one wants to get behind.
Think about it, you will find
Time is on your side, slow down.
Can't slow down
Things around you change so fast,
Livin' day to day is confusin'.
How long will the good times last,
Thinking you're on top when you're losin'?
Take it easy in your mind,
No one wants to get behind.
Think about it, you will find
No hard feelings, no tears, no pain.
No hard feelings, no fears remain.
I could see you slowly drifting away,
Like a vision into the wall.
But I've got no hard feelings,
I've got no feelings at all.
No hard feelings, no cold goodbyes.
No hard feelings, too old and wise.
"And what happened to forever?", they say,
"A lifetime seems so small".
But I've got no hard feelings,
I've got no feelings at all.
If only you could try
To see my point of view.
We wait, our time goes by
And we won't make it through.
No hard feelings, no tears, no pain.
No hard feelings, no fears remain.
I could see you slowly drifting away,
Like a vision into the wall.
But I've got no hard feelings,
I've got no feelings at all.
I've got no hard feelings,
Floatin' on air never a care cruisin' down town,
Knows where to go keepin' it low down to the ground.
A bottle of wine doctor good time he's got it all right,
Stops for a while gives you that smile you're flying tonight.
Said it's nice to know you,
Hey, wouldn't you like to get around?
So much I could show you,
Wouldn't you like to slow down?
The reggae man good for you,
You never can see 'til you make it with me.
The reggae man good for you,
You'll never know why I can take you so high.
The reggae man good for you,
You never can tell 'til I'm ringing your bell.
The reggae man good for you,
Say the reggae man good for you.
Nothing to say gets through the day sleepin' 'til late,
Roll on the night hides from the light that's makin' him wait.
Takin' his speed home growin' weed,
Cortina E over the hill dressing to kill and easy to see.
Said it's nice to know you,
Hey, wouldn't you like to get around?
So much I could show you,
Now wouldn't you like to slow down?
The reggae man good for you,
You never can see 'til you make it with me.
The reggae man good for you,
You'll never know why I can take you so high.
The reggae man good for you,
You never can tell 'til I'm ringing your bell.
The reggae man good for you,
You know the reggae man good for you.
Said it's nice to know you,
Hey wouldn't you like to get around?
So much I could show you,
Now wouldn't you like to slow down?
The reggae man good for you,
You never can see 'til you make it with me.
The reggae man good for you,
You'll never know why I can take you so high.
The reggae man good for you,
You never can tell 'til I'm ringing your bell.
The reggae man good for you,
Yeah said the reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
The reggae man good for you.
Not for me all the things you must do.
I am glad now that I can see through.
They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my mind,
Searching for something I'll never find.
Don't call me a loser,
Call me a rebel.
No one said I must run in this race.
Always right, putting me in my place.
I know it's not easy, believe in yourself,
You won't find the answer in somebody else.
Don't call me a loser,
Call me a rebel.
Call me a rebel.
I'm not one of the crowd,
The shout was so loud
No one hears a word they say.
I'm not one of the fools
Who are making the rules
And they're changing day by day.
Call me a rebel.
I've got nothing to hide,
Just the feeling inside!
Don't call me a loser,
Call me a rebel.
Call me a rebel.
Call me a rebel.
Call me a rebel.
A matter of time to make it to take it till the end,
He's told so many people now he can't go back again.
He lost his feet on a one way street with no place he can go,
Spent his last dime on a telephone line but nobody wants to know.
One more day and he'll be dreamin',
Let the night time roll away.
He'll do great things tomorrow,
So much to do today.
Another mountain he'll be climbin'.
To a valley down below,
There's sunshine all around him,
Where the peaceful waters flow.
His best friend was a stranger he'd never seen before,
Took him through the bad times made him live for something more.
He's much too wise for the long goodbyes when everything goes wrong,
Hopin' he'll find what he's got on his mind the loser carries on.
One more day and he'll be dreamin',
Let the night time roll away.
He'll do great things tomorrow,
So much to do today.
Another mountain he'll be climbin',
To a valley down below.
There's sunshine all around him,
Where the peaceful waters flow.
He could get there in a lifetime,
He could get there in a while.
Oh it doesn't really matter anyhow,
He could miss it by a moment,
He could miss it by a mile.
But he left her side,
For some foolish pride,
And he's got to make it now.
One more day and he'll be dreamin',
Let the night time roll away.
He'll do great things tomorrow,
So much to do today.
Another mountain he'll be climbin',
To a valley down below.
There's sunshine all around him,
Where the peaceful waters flow.
There's sunshine all around him,
Where the peaceful waters flow.
Another mountain he'll be climbin',
To a valley down below.
There's sunshine all around him,
Sad and lonely is a place I've been
Lost forever in a young boy's dream,
Taking chances that won't come again.
Thinking back, was I so happy then?
Who's behind me now I've come so far
Living up to what they say you are.
Crowds of people queue to see my show,
Scared to face it - but how could they know?
Take a look at the young man
Laughing out loud at the fool.
Pay the price tomorrow,
Breaking every rule.
Take a look at the old man
Going back in time with a sigh.
All he's got is yesterday,
He's living just to die.
Take a look at the wise man
Keepin' both his feet on the ground.
Needs no one to change him,
Turn his head around.
Take a look at the weak man,
Could he ever stand on his own?
Waiting for the day to come
When he'll be all alone.
Take a look at the blind man
Wishing every day he could see.
He lives his life in darkness.
Be grateful, you and me.
Take a look at yourself now,
Standing with your back to the wall.
Pride will get you nowhere fast,
We're waiting for the fall.
Once a whisper that was never heard
People listening to every word.
Life is changing in so many ways,
Out of darkness into better days.
Now the empty seats as people rise,
Lights are fading and the memory dies.
Lost in silence as I stop and stare,
Leaving ghostly echoes everywhere.
Maybe I'm wrong, living high and chancing,
I feel an ice cold look in your eye cut me down with glances.
We both said "No", but we can't let go, and I'm feeling like we tried to hide.
I know I've wasted so long now that yesterday's gone
You need me there by your side.
Just once in your life
Show me that you know how to make it right.
For once in your life
Take a look around you and hold on tight.
Two of a kind, hurt you without knowing.
No matter how much harder I try don't know where its going.
Cos my eyes see so you don't fool me, you're not looking for somebody else,
It's never easy to do, I'm depending on you to make some changes yourself.
Just once in your life
Show me that you know how to make it right.
For once in your life
Take a look around you and hold on tight.
Just once in your life
Show me that you know how to make ends right.
For once in your life
Take a look around you and hold on tight.
You've got everything you wanted, satisfaction guaranteed.
You could lose it all with one step, don't you want me?
Just once in your life
Show me that you know how to make it right.
For once in your life
Take a look around you and hold on tight.
Just once in your life
Show me that you know how to make it right.
For once in your life
Take a look around you and hold on tight.
Just once in your life
Show me that you know how to make it right.
For once in your life
You say you're gonna phone,
I spend the whole day waiting at home,
It's just the old same fools game. Sold on trying once more,
But I'm still cold from something before,
With people usin', losin' .
It could be paradise,
It could be love.
And I could sacrifice,
You're all have.
Oh dear what can I do?
Seem to spend my whole life makin' love to you,
To you.
Oh dear what can I say?
Can't get over my nights, you've taken my day,
My day.
Thinking where it will end,
And I start sinkin' over again,
Who to rely on, cry on?
Slowly losin' my mind,
I know I'm only wastin' my time,
But now it's too late,
I'll wait.
It could be paradise.
It could be love.
And I could sacrifice,
You're all have.
Oh dear what can I do?
Seem to spend my whole life makin' love to you,
To you.
Oh dear what can I say?
Can't get over my nights you've taken my day,
My day.
Oh dear what can I do?
Seem to spend my whole life makin' love to you,
To you,
I made my life as a music man,
I can't say that I'd ever change it.
I counted time and my song began
With no-one to help me arrange it.
There've been better times in better places
With people who had kinder faces,
But there's more to a band
Than a one night stand,
So I stay a music man.
Then there's Mister Ten Percent
Takes your money just to pay his rent.
You put your feet across the door,
Step in gold dust on the floor.
The nice man shows you where to sign,
You lose your life on the dotted line.
He's a man of ice, you can see right through,
But he's gonna make a star out of you.
What's a star,
What's a star,
What's a star?
If you raise your glasses high,
You might see him cross the sky.
He's a singer,
He's a writer,
He's a genuine exciter.
He's a star,
He's a star,
Manhattan Skyline, Broadway Lights,
There's all you want in cheap delights.
No good end for what you buy,
Some down and out to tell you why.
Names of those who tasted nights.
Manhattan Skyline, Broadway Lights.
Spend all your money,
Lighting the flame,
Playing the wheel
Is a part of the game.
You're in pieces.
You're down on the floor.
No-one to help you
'Cause you're outside the law.
Lady of my life,
Won't you comfort me tonight,
When the troubles of the world are on my shoulders?
Lady, make it right.
Please don't fuss or fight.
I need peace now I'm a little older.
Lady, lady, lady, lady of my life,
Lady, lady, lady, lady of my life,
Stay with me tonight.
Lady, don't be cruel,
Don't you treat me like a fool
I ain't no fool.
Instead of taking, why not try some giving?
It's gonna do you some good.
Woman, treat me good,
You know that you really should.
You know that you're the reason I am living.
Lady, lady, lady, lady of my life,
Lady, lady, lady, lady of my life,
Stay with me tonight.
Lady, lady, lady, lady of my life,
Lady, lady, lady, lady of my life,
Stay with me tonight.
Lady, don't be cruel,
Don't you treat me like a fool.
Instead of taking, why not try some giving?
It's gonna do you some good.
Woman, treat me good,
You know that you really should.
You know that you're the reason I am living. .
Lady, lady, lady, lady of my life,
Lady, lady, lady, lady of my life,
Stay with me tonight.
Stay with me tonight,
By now I should've known better,
But it's all just a matter of time,
Remember one day you told me,
You were never mine.
It was a game of temptation,
Never knowin' which way it could turn,
I shouldn't play 'round with fire,
Now I'm gonna burn.
I didn't know if it was day or night
You couldn't wake me up with dynamite,
So I'm not confessin' but it taught me
A lesson somehow.
(It wasn't love at all)
Just a crazy dream,
(I was walking tall)
Don't you know
Just what I mean,
(It wasn't love at all)
There's no love at all,
(It wasn't love at all)
Can't you tell me where I've been.
Just tryin' so hard to change it,
But the whole thing went out of control,
I never knew when I met ya,
You could be so cold.
I know the way I was thinkin'
Yes we both knew that something was wrong
You'd spend your time with another,
Can't forget so long.
And he is always there to take you back
You'll be happy in your little shack,
Now I'm getting started
'Cos I'm not broken-hearted
For you.
(It wasn't love at all)
Just a crazy dream,
(I was walking tall)
Hey, don't you know
Just what I mean,
(It wasn't love at all)
There's no love at all,
(It wasn't love at all)
Can you tell me where I've been.
(It wasn't love at all)
Just a crazy dream,
(I was walking tall)
Hey, don't you know
Just what I mean,
(It wasn't love at all)
There's no love at all,
(It wasn't love at all)
Can't you tell me where I've been.
I didn't know if it was day or night,
You couldn't wake me up with dynamite,
So I'm not confessin' but it taught me
A lesson somehow.
(It wasn't love at all)
Just a crazy dream,
(I was walking tall)
Don't you know
Just what I mean,
(It wasn't love at all)
There's no love at all,
(It wasn't love at all)
Can you, can you tell me
(It wasn't love at all)
Just a crazy dream,
(I was walking tall)
Hey don't you know
Just what I mean,
(It wasn't love at all)
There's no love at all,
(It wasn't love at all)
Can you tell, tell me where I've been
(It wasn't love at all)
Just a crazy dream,
(I was walking tall)
Can't you tell me
Where I've been,
(It wasn't love at all)
It wasn't love at all,
(It wasn't love at all)
Can you tell me where I've been
(It wasn't love at all)
It wasn't love at all,
(I was walking tall)
Can't you tell me
Where I've been,
(It wasn't love at all)
Crazy, crazy. crazy
(I was walkin' tall)
Don't you know, don't you know where I've been
(It wasn't love at all)
It wasn't love at all,
(It wasn't love at all)
Can't you tell me where,
I need your love, I need your love.
I need your love, I need your love.
Some times I feel lost and I don't know what you believe.
My wires get crossed, and I wonder how you could leave.
But one thing I know, I just can't go on living from day to day,
Won't you listen to me when I say,
I need your love?
I need your love,
Oh won't you believe me?
I need your love,
For every time I close my eyes to sleep, you'll still be there.
And I get so afraid when the night closes in on me,
I thought that we had it made, from now on its just a memory.
I wake up at night calling your name, no body hears but me.
I've just got to try to make you see
I need your love.
I need your love,
Oh won't you believe me?
I need your love,
Cos every time I close my eyes to sleep, you'll still be there.
I wake up at night just calling your name, no body hears but me.
I've just got to try to make you see
I need your love.
I need your love,
Oh won't you believe me?
I need your love,
Cos every time I close my eyes to sleep, you'll still be there.
And I'll be waiting for you.
I need your love,
I need your love.
I need your love,
Cos every time I close my eyes to sleep, you are still there.
And I'll be waiting for you.
I need your love,
I need your love.
I need your love,
Cos every time I close my eyes to sleep, you'll still be there.
And I'll be waiting for you.
I need your love,
I need your love.
I need your love,
Oh, you are still be there.
And I'll be waiting for you.
I need your love,
If I turn round and I look down
And I stare at all the people,
Would it change me,
Rearrange me,
Make me become aware?
'Cos I want to, I'm gonna love you
Right in front of all these people.
If I shock them,
Could you knock them,
Make them become aware?
But I'm gonna do it anyway,
It doesn't matter what the people say.
And in the end you all will see
The only one who's right is me.
In my own mind
She's the right kind,
Even though her colour scares you.
Try to see straight,
It's never too late,
Maybe see the light of day.
Should I hang round
With my own crowd
Or the people that I'm drawn to?
Could you guide me?
Or maybe hide me?
I've lost where I'm going
No one beside me showing how.
Won't you look at me now?
We talk, but we don't mean it,
I thought I'd really seen it all.
Even if I should fall.
I've waited all my life,
Cared what I did
Tried to find it,
I'll say it all my life.
I'll let you see
I just wanna be
Good so bad.
I wanna be good so bad.
I just wanna be good so bad.
I wanna be good so bad.
Why wake me if I'm dreaming
Don't break if you're not feeling sure.
Never been here before.
Too many days were empty,
I'll change my ways, you set me free
Are you thinking of me?
I close my eyes at night
Not believing what I'm feeling.
Those times when nothing's right
Please forgive me, I just wanna be
Good so bad.
I wanna be good so bad.
I just wanna be good so bad.
I wanna be good so bad.
I close my eyes at night
Not believing what I'm feeling.
Those times when nothing's right
Please forgive me, I just wanna be
Good so bad.
I wanna be good so bad.
I just wanna be good so bad.
I wanna be good so bad.
I just wanna be good so bad.
I wanna be good so bad.
I just wanna be good so bad.
He really does shine
For the ladies with painted faces.
He spends his time being seen
In all the right places.
You only get to know him nearly,
There can't be anyone who knows him really.
He's doing so well
And there's no-one to tell you but Glamour Boy.
He could have been the singer
In a Rock 'N' Roll band if only.
He's got everything it takes to make it
But he's lonely.
He's really an unsung hero
But if money came from having an ego,
He'd get to the top
And the dream would have to stop for Glamour Boy.
It doesn't do to worry.
Feel a little sorry for Glamour Boy.
Spending all his money
Really isn't funny for Glamour Boy.
Everybody knows it,
No-one ever shows it for Glamour Boy.
Living in a world of make believe
And reaching for the sky.
When all the people that you meet
Are chances passing by.
And friends don't seem to mean a lot.
Anyway they're always there.
Don't take too long to realise
You're not going anywhere,
I was wrong, they were right,
They said you cheated on me last night.
You know I didn't believe it till I saw it in your eyes.
I could tell, I could see,
That you were trying to make a fool out of me.
You know I never ever thought that you would ever tell me lies.
I don't believe you and the things that you say,
A little bit of truth goes a long long way.
I really need some honesty tonight,
I love you honey but it just ain't right,
Don't you lie to me,
Don't tell me stories that my heart just won't believe.
Baby don't lie to me,
I'm sick and tired of this whole situation,
Baby don't you lie to me.
Now look here, and beware,
Cos you can't believe that you don't care.
I'm just looking for a lover who'll return some love to me.
Look at me, and be straight,
You see I haven't got the time to wait,
Till you get yourself together and decide just what you mean.
Why don't you tell me how you really feel?
A little bit of time and the wounds will heal.
I really need some honesty tonight,
I love you honey but this just ain't right,
Don't you lie to me,
Don't tell me stories that my heart just won't believe.
Baby, don't lie to me,
I'm sick and tired of this whole situation,
Baby don't you lie to me.
I don't believe you and the things that you say,
A little bit of truth goes a long long way.
I really need some honesty tonight,
I love you honey but it just ain't right,
Don't you lie to me,
Don't tell me stories that my heart just won't believe.
Baby, don't lie to me,
I'm sick and tired of this whole situation,
Baby don't lie to me.
Oh oh, baby don't you lie,
Oh oh, baby don't you lie,
Sunny days and sweet romances,
Childhood dreams, forgotten chances pass you by.
Time has gone, and far behind you
Music plays and lights that blind you fade and die.
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.
Feel as if it's now or never,
We can make it last for ever,
Don't ask why.
Closer to you, don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
Closer to you.
In the evening, dancing shadows
Gather, caring, where the wind blows, fancy free.
In our world of empty spaces
Strangers in familiar places, you and me.
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.
There's no need to wonder whether
Happiness we'll share together
Can't it be
Closer to you, I don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
Closer to you.
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.
There's no need to wonder whether
Happiness we'll share together
Can't it be
Closer to you, I don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
I remember things about it, hoping every day you'll call.
This can't be, I expected to see, I am human after all.
Can't believe that you were fooling, always sounded so sincere,
I can't look back, as a matter of fact, I'm still sad that you're not here.
Someone scream, it's a terrible dream, it's all a big mistake.
Now I lost that thread deep inside of my head, it's so hard to never break,
Hard to never break.
I was blinded, yes I was blinded
And the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.
I was blinded, how I was blinded,
When I think about how far I've got to fall
It won't help that I was blinded by it all.
Walked in with my eyes wide open, seeing what I want to see,
And I'm not so strong so I did it all wrong, now the one that hurts is me.
Can I learn to live without you, someone better tell me how.
It's understood, we were always so good, but it doesn't help me now.
Every one's there all pretending to care with a different point of view,
If a love's that real, then they'll know how it feels, and there's nothing I can do,
Nothing I can do.
I was blinded, yes I was blinded
And the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.
I was blinded, how I was blinded,
When I think about how far I've got to fall
It won't help that I was blinded by it all.
Every one's there all pretending to care with a different point of view,
If a love's that real, they'll know how it feels, and there's nothing I can do,
Nothing I can do.
I was blinded, yes I was blinded
And the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.
I was blinded, how I was blinded,
When I think about how far I've got to fall
It won't help that I was blinded by it all.
I was blinded, yes I was blinded
And the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.
I was blinded, how I was blinded,
When I think about how far I've got to fall
You re a stranger in this town where do you come from,
Tell me what's your plan.
You've been on the road you can't remember how long,
You're a lonely man.
Now you can't find what you always thought was easy,
And in my mind you found out too late believe me,
'Cause you got bad blood,
You got bad blood,
You got bad blood,
You better get out of here.
So tomorrow one more town is far behind you,
You could use a friend.
But it won't take long before someone reminds you,
And it starts again.
It was so sad like so many other places,
You would be glad just to hide away the traces,
'Cause you got bad blood,
You got bad blood,
You got bad blood,
You better get out of here.
You got bad blood,
You got bad blood,
You got bad blood,
You better get out of here.
Tell me now I've said these things I should be sorry,
I can't take the blame.
And my best friend as a child still makes me worry,
When I hear your name.
But you can't stay, you can't lose your reputation.
What can I say in a different situation?
'Cause you got bad blood,
You got bad blood,
You got bad blood,
You can have the world
If the world is what you need.
Take me round in circles.
I'll follow where you lead.
Go anywhere
If it's where you wanna go.
It used to be for something
But lately I don't know.
"Take me far away",
All the people say.
You're the price I pay,
Blame me.
Leave you far behind,
Search until I find.
I could lose my mind,
Shame me,
Tame me.
I'll play the game,
No matter what they say.
Holding on to pieces,
I'll follow anyway
Be anyone.
If it's who you wanna be
Someday soon my day will come
And you can set me free.
Stand up and give me a reason,
I can't go on livin' a lie.
You're hiding behind so many faces.
It's more than I need to get by.
Stand up and give me a reason.
You don't even ask me to stay.
You think I'll be back here tomorrow,
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
All I see is my reflection, I'm running
Like a stranger in the dark.
Come closer, much closer,
I'll always listen, have you something to say
My life chasing, lose it, waste it
You keep me guessing every step of the way.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
Try to find the easy answer, it's nowhere.
So I pay for my mistake.
I'm trying, bad timing,
I almost had it but it slipped away.
No good for me, same old story,
You keep me guessing every step of the way.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
I've got no reason to pretend, oh no,
But if it's up to me
I know we'll find the perfect ending.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
I hope someone's watching, watching over me.
You thought you had to lie, baby, that's a shame
You thought I wouldn't find out what's his name
I think you'd better leave, just be prepared
Won't find my kinda' lovin' just anywhere
All the time I wondered why
You haven't been yourself
A voice inside kept saying
It must be somebody else
I never saw what was coming down
What goes around, comes around
My heart just shattered in pieces on the ground
What goes around, comes around
Now even though it hurts me, I understand
The way a little flirting gets so out of hand
I had a special someone I hurt so bad
That's how I lost the best friend that I have ever had
In the night with your new lover
Burning like a flame
Don't it make you wonder
If he'll treat you the same
I never saw what was coming down
What goes around, comes around
My heart just shattered in pieces on the ground
What goes around, comes around
Twist an old cliche
Till the words ring true
What you do to someone
It can happen to you
Cause we're all links
In this human chain,
Just the cause and effect
Of so much passion and pain
I never saw what was coming down
What goes around, comes around
My heart just shattered in pieces on the ground
What goes around, comes around. Yeah
Oh, what goes around, comes around
My heart just shattered in pieces on the ground
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
Everybody waits for easy money,
Scared to work their fingers to the bone.
I can't wait, it's such a long time coming,
Got to go and make it on my own.
Carry on, let the bad times
Do it wrong, but do it when you can.
Can't stand on you, I got no reason.
Nothing ever goes the way you planned.
It takes your heart, heart and soul,
That's rock 'n' roll.
And when you're left out in the cold,
That's rock 'n' roll.
Which way do you turn for satisfaction?
Born to lose was never on my mind.
Get me till I'm old is some reaction,
Hoping every cloud is silver lined.
Broken dreams, easy living,
But they call, but leave me just the same.
Many needs there's no question,
Take a fall and start out once again.
It takes your heart, heart and soul,
That's rock 'n' roll.
And when you're left out, left out cold,
That's rock 'n' roll.
That's rock 'n' roll, that's rock 'n' roll
It takes your heart, takes your soul,
That's rock 'n' roll.
And when you're left out, left out in the cold,
That's rock 'n' roll.
That's rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll,
Satisfied, you should be satisfied.
If it was all so easy through my eyes.
Satisfied, you could be satisfied,
And when you have lost it's too late to be wise.
So before you put it down,
There is one thing that I think you should know.
When you feel it comin' round,
There's only one way you can go.
Hangin' round with a good time girl
It's such a bad education,
But when it's gone and she's saying so long
It's just a short conversation.
She'll say "Bye bye thank you for the money,
Bye bye I'll really miss you honey,
Bye bye I'll see your next sunny day".
Satisfied, you should be satisfied.
If it was all so easy through my eyes.
Satisfied, you could be satisfied,
And when you have lost it's too late to be wise.
So before you put it down,
There is one thing that I think you should know.
When you feel it comin' round,
There's only one way you can go.
Feeling proud with the big time crowd,
You're such a big celebration.
What can you say when it's slipping away
And there is no explanation?
You say "My my where is all the money,
My my can I see you honey
My my I've had my last sunny day".
Satisfied, you should be satisfied.
If it was all so easy through my eyes.
Satisfied, you could be satisfied,
And when you have lost it's too late to be wise.
Satisfied, you should be satisfied.
If it was all so easy through my eyes.
Misty silence of the early morning
All around another day is dawning.
Goodbyes ain't easy,
So no-one sees me when I go.
Only time is gonna last forever,
Just remember what we had together.
I must be leavin'
And I can't even let it show.
I am on my way,
Remember Yesterday.
Lose your memory in a thousand places
Disappearing in a sea of faces,
Always lonely,
I live the only way I know.
Holding on until I don't remember
Early morning back in late September,
Now you're behind me,
The clouds remind me I'm alone.
I am on my way,
Remember Yesterday.
My mind must be the gypsy
That keeps me movin' on.
My heart must be the only thing
That's callin' me back home.
My memories are souvenirs
And all there is to show.
For someone who's been everywhere,
I've got no place to go.
Spend a life time searching for a reason,
Find the answer in the changing season.
By tomorrow
All the sorrow disappears.
Far away another boat is sailing,
Making time before the light starts failing,
Never knowing where I'm going day to day.
I am on my way,
Goodbye is never easy
But it was time to go
I threw some things together
And moved out on the road
Headed west and kept on going
Chasing the rain
Had a feeling deep inside of me
Things would never be the same
And that pale Spanish moon
Was shining down on me
All through the night
Memories of home fading away
In the morning light
Riding high and lonesome
Looking for some breathing room
And over my shoulder
That pale Spanish moon
Way up in Santa Fe
They were dancing to a slow one
The smoke hung in the room
When I saw her standing there
Just one glance, then we touched
And moved into the song
Fire was there between us
Kept on burning all night long
And that pale Spanish moon
Was hanging in the sky
Caressing her hair
She could never hide
The laughter in her eyes
The passion in the air
I thought it was forever
But forever came too soon
Goodbyes are never easy
Underneath a Spanish moon
And on down through the years
In the darkness of my room
I will remember her
In my life I've seen sorrow, heartache and pain.
I've been burned by the sunshine
Been drowned in the pouring rain
Had too many lovers but not enough love.
I've been tried and convicted
Of things I'm not guilty of.
I was locked in a prison till you came and set me free.
So, how can you tell me, baby, that you're no good for me?
Now that the magic has gone,
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say anyway
Now that the magic has gone,
There's no sense in holding on.
Baby now, now that the magic has gone.
You know love can be tender, love can be cruel
It can smile like an angel while it treats you just like a fool
It captures and haunts you until you give in
Then it stacks the dice against you in a game you never can win.
Just when I was thinking Lady Luck was here with me
You tell me: "It's over baby". Say: "It's time for breaking free".
Now that the magic has gone,
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say anyway
Now that the magic has gone,
You know there's no sense in holding on.
Baby now, now that the magic has gone.
I won't try to hold you down
My mind tells me to let go
But my heart keeps asking how.
There's no prizes for the loser,
Only the winner takes the purse.
Some say that love's a blessing
But to me it's just a curse.
Now that the magic has gone,
Oh baby, you just wanna walk away
Got nothing left to say anyway
Now that the magic has gone,
You know there's no, no sense in holding on.
Baby now, now that the magic has gone.
Now that the magic has gone.
Spend a life time waitin' for a phone to ring,
But it all comes down to just the same old thing.
So you sit right down until you get that call,
But your head keeps knocking off the same old wall.
It's a sad day on my mind,
How could you leave my love behind.
Now you're scared to lose it if you take your time,
But you're still walking into the same old line.
So you don't find lovin' with a guarantee,
You'd get the next best thing if it was up to me.
But it's a sad day on my mind,
How could you leave my love behind.
You take me one step closer to Paradise,
You give me one more reason to carry on.
I'd take your lovin' at any price,
So please don't say you're leaving.
Don't say you're movin'
Don't say you're movin' on.
You take me one step closer to Paradise,
You give me one more reason to carry on.
I'd take your lovin' at any price,
Stay with me now say you'll stay with me.
You take me one step closer to Paradise,
You give me one more reason to carry on.
I'd take your lovin' at any price.
Say you're not leaving,
Some things are so precious
They should never be sold
They're for giving away
You take all the stress
That this life unfolds
All these dark and troubled days
Still you can't give in
Shake off those blues
You know that's your way
This life that you're living
Won't let you lose
Each crazy game you play
Oh, you wait for the sun
The new dawn starts
With that same sweet sadness
Filling up your heart
And you wonder
Will it ever go away
Another night over
The new day begins
Remembering the dreams
That you left your love in
And you wonder
(You wonder)
Can you face another day
One more day without love
A story so precious
It can never be told
No words you can say
Your heart turned to lead
You thought it was gold
It just melted away
When memories come
Out of the blue
You just fade them to grey
You must carry on
You know you can't choose
No prayer you can pray
Oh, you wait for the sun
The new dawn starts
With that same sweet sadness
Filling up your heart
And you wonder
(You wonder)
Will it ever go away
Oh another night over
The new day begins
Remembering the dreams
That you left your love in
And you wonder
(You wonder)
Can you face another another day
One more day without love
You know she's out of your sight
But not out of your mind
That kind of love is never easy to find
You're not living a life of regret
There are some things in this life
You just can't forget
One more day
One more day
One more day
One more day
Still you can't give in
Shake off those blues
Because that's your way
This life that you're living
Won't let you lose
Each crazy, crazy game you play
Oh, you wait for the sun
The new dawn starts
With that same sweet sadness
Filling up your heart
And you wonder
(You wonder)
Will it ever go away
Another night over
The new day begins
Remembering the dreams
That you left your love in
And you wonder
(You wonder)
Can you face another another day
One more day without love
One more day
One more day
Can you face another day
One more day
Oh baby that love
One more day
One more day
One more day without your love
One more day
One more day
One more day
One more lonely, lonely day, baby
One more day
I saw the light, I watched it ignite
Oh, what a sight, it was holy
Temptation came
My fortitude waned
I caused you pain and only
For the sake of one
I never even gave any love
Like I've given to you, baby
And there's so much I got to say
But tell me how does a man ask for forgiviness
When the one he loves
He left so far away
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
Yeah, we'll put all this pain behind us
Recover and start again, come on
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
Sweet forgiving rain, wash away my shame
Let the clouds roll by
And reveal a brighter day. Yeah
I know the blame is over my name
But I can change, if you let me
My only wish is that you understand this
I miss no less than everything about you, babe
And I know I can turn it around
But tell me how does a man start his life over
When the one he loves
Won't let him share the same ground. Yeah
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
We'll put all this pain behind us
Recover and start again, yeah
It's not over, no,
It's not over yet
Soft forgiving rain wash away my shame
Let the clouds roll by
And reveal a brighter day
Let's not let it slip away
Give me just one more, one chance, one day
Come on, baby, have a little faith in me
I saw the light, I watched it ignite
Oh, what a sight, it was holy
And there's so much left to say
But tell me how does a man ask for forgiveness
When the one he loves is so far away
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
We'll put all this pain behind us
Recover and start again, come on
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
Let the sweet forgiving rain wash away my shame
And reveal a more brighter day
Delay the rain. Yeah
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
But put all this pain behind us
Recover and start again, come on
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
Let the sweet forgiving rain wash away my shame
And let the clouds roll by, reveal a brighter day
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
It's not over yet. It's not over yet. It's not over yet
Come on baby
It's not over, no
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
Let the sweet forgiving rain wash away my shame
Could a feeling be so wrong,
Why I left you for so long,
Home, though I miss you more each day,
There was nothing you could say,
I had to go my way,
Show them I was older now,
And not some toy that they could play with,
Tell me how, everything I need today is
Lost only traces on faces,
That won't remember me now,
Yes I'm going back there somehow
Lost where my memory waits for me,
Home is where I belong,
But it's not the same when you're gone
With a lifetime passing by,
Every question asking why
Home, if I ever feel you're mine,
We will meet again in time,
Just realise that I'm old enough to know by now
That foolish dreams don't last forever,
Funny how, looking back I thought I'd never
See only traces on faces,
That won't remember me now,
Yes I'm going back there somehow,
Lost where my memory waits for me,
Home is where I belong,
But it's not the same when you're gone
(My heart takes me
Home, been so long,
They won't remember me now)
Yes I'm going back there somehow,
(Lonely road that leads me nowhere
Home, I was wrong
Home is where I belong)
But it's not the same when you're gone,
(Can't replace what waits for me there)
Home, if I ever feel you're mine,
We will meet again in time,
Just realise that I'm old enough
To know by now,
That foolish dreams don't last for ever,
Funny how,
Sometimes I just wonder whether
Looking back I thought I'd never
See only traces on faces,
That won't remember me now,
Yes I'm going back there somehow,
Lost where my memory waits for me,
Home is where I belong,
Music was my first love and it will be my last
Music of the future and music of the past
o live without my music would be impossible do
In this world of troubles my music pulls me through.
Music was my first love and it will be my last
Music of the future and music of the past
And music of the past and music of the past.
Music was my first love and it will be my last
Music of the future and music of the past
To live without my r17usic would be impossible do
Another song about same lady,
Tell your best friends how you've grown.
Now you never see the old familiar places,
All the nice men you have known
How you've never been the loser,
All the world's in love with you.
You don't ever need to hide behind an answer,
Just one smile will see you through. And the only word that you don't hear
When someone you won't know this time next year
And it's not called Angel.
And it's not called Angel.
Once a close friend, now a stranger
Where the wind blows you'll survive
You won't ever have to leave before midnight,
One more fool go stay the night.
If you try to find a reason,
Happiness could ease your mind.
What you're looking for is sometimes where you came from,
And it's been there all the time.
But if old enough could be bold enough
When you're losing the show,
And if young enough is strong enough to know.
But of all the things that I might do
I will never try to write this song for you.
And it's not called Angel.
Another song about some lady.
And it's not called Angel.
How you've never been a loser.
And it's not called Angel.
Once a close friend, now a stranger.
And it's not called Angel.
Another song about some lady.
And it's not called Angel.
How you've never been a loser.
And it's not called Angel.
Once a close friend, now a stranger.
And it's not called Angel.
Another song about some lady.
And it's not called Angel.
I remember things about it, hoping every day you'll call.
This can't be, I expected to see, I am human after all.
Can't believe that you were fooling, always sounded so sincere,
I can't look back, as a matter of fact, I'm still sad that you're not here.
Someone scream, it's a terrible dream, it's all a big mistake.
Now I lost that thread deep inside of my head, it's so hard to never break,
Hard to never break.
I was blinded, yes I was blinded
And the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.
I was blinded, how I was blinded,
When I think about how far I've got to fall
It won't help that I was blinded by it all.
Walked in with my eyes wide open, seeing what I want to see,
And I'm not so strong so I did it all wrong, now the one that hurts is me.
Can I learn to live without you, someone better tell me how.
It's understood, we were always so good, but it doesn't help me now.
Every one's there all pretending to care with a different point of view,
If a love's that real, then they'll know how it feels, and there's nothing I can do,
Nothing I can do.
I was blinded, yes I was blinded
And the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.
I was blinded, how I was blinded,
When I think about how far I've got to fall
It won't help that I was blinded by it all.
Every one's there all pretending to care with a different point of view,
If a love's that real, they'll know how it feels, and there's nothing I can do,
Nothing I can do.
I was blinded, yes I was blinded
And the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.
I was blinded, how I was blinded,
When I think about how far I've got to fall
It won't help that I was blinded by it all.
I was blinded, yes I was blinded
And the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.
I was blinded, how I was blinded,
When I think about how far I've got to fall
Breakin' my heart everytime I'm apart from my woman of stone,
You're my woman
But you're cool like ice in my brain.
I don't wanna stay but I can't get away you won't leave me alone,
I keep runnin'
But I soon come back here again.
Ooh you make me suffer,
Ooh but there's no other,
And I know it wouldn't ease my mind ,
I could never leave you far behind,
But things are getting better
Yes things are getting better.
C'est la vie,
C'est la vie,
All you can say to me is
C'est la vie.
But girl you know you make me wonder,
Everytime you push me under,
All you can say to me is
C'est la vie.
Somebody said that I'm losin' my head but it's already gone,
What a woman,
And I just don't know you at all.
Who do I blame it's a sin not a shame you keep turning me on ,
You got something
And I'm always there when you call.
Ooh you make me suffer,
Ooh but there's no other.
So no matter what the people say,
I would never change you anyway,
And things are getting better,
Yes things are getting better.
C'est la vie,
C'est la vie,
All you can say to me is
C'est la vie.
But girl you know you make me wonder,
Everytime you push me under,
All you can say to me is
C'est la vie.
C'est la vie,
C'est la vie,
All you can say to me is
C'est la vie.
But girl you know you make me wonder,
Everytime you push me under,
All you can say to me is
C'est la vie.
C'est la vie,
C'est la vie,
All you can say to me is
C'est la vie.
But girl you know you make me wonder,
Everytime you push me under,
All you can say to me is
Here I go again
Nothing can tell me I'm not wrong.
Was I younger then.
I'll be old tomorrow, I can't wait too long.
Tell myself it doesn't matter
You get to me
So easily.
Telling me it's no one you're after
I never learn
Let the feeling burn.
Back to the magic.
Live it up and do it again.
Get it right next time.
Back to the magic.
Leaving all your troubles behind.
Back to the magic.
Live it up and do it again.
Get it right next time.
Back to the magic.
Leaving all your troubles behind.
Just a memory
I'll live for, you will never know.
If I turn around
We could talk it over, don't let feelings show.
Tell me I could never leave you,
You'll always be
A part of me
In everything that you can see through
It's so hard to bear,
Won't you take me there?
Back to the magic.
Live it up and do it again.
Get it right next time.
Back to the magic.
Leaving all your troubles behind.
Back to the magic.
Live it up and do it again.
Get it right next time.
Back to the magic.
Back to the magic.
Live it up and do it again.
Get it right next time.
Back to the magic.
Leaving all your troubles behind.
Back to the magic.
Live it up and do it again.
Get it right next time.
Back to the magic.
Leaving all your troubles behind.
Back to the magic.
Live it up and do it again.
Get it right next time.
Back to the magic.
Leaving all your troubles behind.
Back to the magic.
Live it up and do it again.
Do it again.
Back to the magic.
Leaving all your troubles behind.
Back to the magic.
Oh I was poor as a boy,
Only had one thing to my name.
But I worked so hard
On my old guitar,
I know each note sounded the same.
Yea I did what I said,
And I taught myself how to play,
But the tables turned,
With the things I learned,
Now it feels so good when I say
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
But nobody knows which way to go.
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
But nobody knows which way to go.
Right back at the start
With my time all over again,
Would I push my luck,
What a chance I took,
But it all worked out in the end.
I'm doin' all right,
Is the good life fading away.
But I don't feel bad,
The good times I've had,
And I can't stand still when I say
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll,
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
But nobody knows which way to go.
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
But nobody knows which way to go.
Fools laugh in my face when I tell them how it began.
Who's takin' my place for the first time nobody can.
I'm leavin' the race and there's no-one changin' my plan.
No more I can say I came here to play,
Listen to me.
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
But nobody knows which way to go.
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
But nobody knows which way to go.
I'm out of the cradle but I'm still rockin',
Just playing the good time rock 'n' roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin',
Somewhere in the early morning,
Quietly the boy appears.
Time is standing still for someone,
His journey took ten thousand years.
Slowly as he looks around him,
More than wonder in his eyes.
Turns his head towards the city,
Hiding in a child's disguise.
What is his name?
He looks the same from here.
And how can a child with imaginings wild
Give us something to fear?
Zaragon, Zaragon.
When you're sad, do you cry,
Could you teach me to fly
And will you ever die, Zaragon?
Everywhere so much confusion
Crying out for helping hands.
Answering a young boy's questions,
Frightened that he understands.
Do you remember what lies beyond a star and
Do you remember how you came so far?
Hiding traces, do you have many faces?
Oh Zaragon...
Do you remember what did you leave behind and
Do you remember what did you hope to find here?
Will you remember me? Will you remember me?
I will remember you, I will remember you,
Zaragon!
Leaving as he came a stranger,
On his way without a sound,
Feeling more than childhood sorrow
Deep inside the world he found.
Zaragon, the boy no longer,
Knowing what he came to learn.
And someone who could just be dreaming
Just when I thought my world was falling apart, you and I found love.
While it was such an empty space in my heart, I could die without love.
With everything you said to me seems like a fantasy that will soon be gone,
I just look in your eyes, you're the one.
If any fools ever worked with a poem to deny this feeling.
I never thought there could be anything more, don't know how I'm breathing.
What's happening to you and I don't ask the reasons why, it could take too long,
I just look in your eyes, you're the one.
Two hearts together,
Two hearts for ever,
Two hearts could never
Make it alone again.
And every time I know I'm seeing you now, it's just like the first time.
Always scared I'm going to wake up somehow in the light, but I'll find
We've made another perfect night, we got the feeling right, we can't both be wrong,
I just look in your eyes, you're the one.
Two hearts together,
Two hearts for ever,
Two hearts could never
Make it alone again.
Two hearts together,
Two hearts for ever,
Two hearts could never
Make it alone again.
We've made another perfect night, we got the feeling right, we can't both be wrong,
I just look in your eyes, you're the one.
And if its all a crazy dream, please leave me where I've been, let it carry on.
I just look in your eyes, you're the one.
Two hearts together,
Two hearts for ever,
Two hearts could never
Going round in circles when gone too far to start again.
Knock it down then pick it up, say you will but never stop.
Put your fortune on the wheel, just another shady deal.
Use it all then take it back, I'd say for certain you're the one who's hurting now
Like you never did before, life is closing every door,
Can it hurt you any more.
Who knows, would you believe it, would it help me if you were told?
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
There's a trick in every line, it could beat you every time.
Any special thing you say makes it better right away.
If you never want to lose be more careful when you choose.
You can throw it all away, take it for granted, wishing that you had it now
Seeing someone else, not me, this is not how it should be,
I can change it, wait and see.
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
Who knows, take it or leave it, who knows what the future holds?
Who knows, won't you believe it, would it help me if you were so?
When you lose someone so young,
How do you start again?
You can't run and hide from the world outside
And you lock yourself in, wonder where to begin.
It multiplies the pain.
When you lose someone so young,
How do you start again?
As time goes by and tears run dry
And hope appears in place of fears,
It takes away the pain
You must walk right out in the sunshine,
Gotta try not to hide in the shade.
Shake yourself loose from the chip on your shoulder
And forget the price you paid.
I said "Put your grief behind you,
All the sad songs have been sung".
Yes, I know how it feels, it just don't seem real,
When you lose someone so young.
When you lose someone so young,
How do you start again?
You need friends at hand who can understand,
If you start to cry, they'll wipe the tears from your eye,
Will you ever be the same?
When you lose someone so young,
How do you start again?
Start life anew, stop feeling blue.
The world's standing still because it knows
That you will forget your tears and pain.
You must walk right out in the sunshine,
Gotta try not to hide in the shade.
Shake yourself, loose from the chip on your shoulder
And forget the price you paid.
I said "Put your grief behind you,
All the sad songs have been sung".
Well, I know how it feels, it just don't seem real
When you lose someone so young.
You must walk right out in the sunshine,
Gotta try not to hide in the shade.
Shake yourself loose from the chip on your shoulder,
And forget the price you paid.
I said "Put your grief behind you,
All the sad songs have been sung".
Yes, I know how it feels, it just don't seem real
When you lose someone so young.
Put your grief behind you,
All the sad songs have been sung.
Well, I know how it feels, it just don't seem real
How we all laughed at the old photographs in the magazine,
Forty years old but the stories they told of a dream.
No-one can frown at the face of the clown,
With a tear in his eye.
Taking the break was his first big mistake
It would seem.
Over and over.
Over and over.
We will discover,
We will discover
That we all fall down.
Yes we all fall down.
Yes we all fall down.
Yes we all fall down.
Why should he fear that his conscience is clear when he's makin' the deal?
Business is fair so today he won't care how they feel.
Losing his hold as the years make him old so he's looking around ,
Wondering why all the things he could buy don't appeal.
Over and over.
Over and over.
We will discover,
We will discover
That we all fall down.
Yes we all fall down.
Yes we all fall down.
Why wait to give yourself a chance tomorrow?
Let the feelin' grow.
You don't need someone else for you to follow
Anywhere you go.
Leavin' your shell,
You'll never turn around!
You know so well
What always tied you down?
Is it for love or is it only a game you're playing?
Now I'm saying:
Turn yourself loose,
Destiny calling,
Turn yourself loose,
You can't wait for a better day.
Turn yourself loose,
Go without any warning.
Turn yourself loose,
You can fly away.
I can't say what it takes to get you started,
You could win or lose.
I don't see you among the broken hearted,
Now's the time to choose.
Breakin' your spell,
Leavin' your hideaway.
Who can you tell?
Maybe some other day.
Make up your mind,
You know it's only your life you're givin',
Don't stop livin'.
Just turn yourself loose,
Destiny calling.
Turn yourself loose,
You can't wait for a better day.
Turn yourself loose,
Go without any warning.
Turn yourself loose,
You can fly away.
Turn yourself loose,
Destiny calling.
Turn yourself loose,
You can't wait for a better day.
Turn yourself loose,
Go without any warning.
Turn yourself loose,
You can fly away.
Never see your life as hills to climb,
Try to forget there's so much wasted time.
Breakin' your spell,
Leavin' your hideaway.
Who can you tell?
Maybe some other day.
Make up your mind,
You know it's only your life you're givin',
Don't stop livin'.
Just turn yourself loose,
Destiny calling.
Turn yourself loose,
You can't wait for a better day.
Turn yourself loose,
Go without any warning.
Turn yourself loose,
You can fly away.
Turn yourself loose,
Destiny calling.
Turn yourself loose,
You can't wait for a better day.
Turn yourself loose,
Go without any warning.
Turn yourself loose,
You can fly away.
Turn yourself loose,
Destiny calling.
Turn yourself loose,
You can't wait for a better day.
Turn yourself loose,
Go without any warning.
Turn yourself loose,
You can fly away.
Turn yourself loose,
Destiny calling.
What could be easy for the poor man's son,
When all he wanted was a rich man's daughter,
His game was lost before it had begun,
But he still had to give it a try.
It wasn't long before he had to run,
He'd had his share of all the fire and water,
Another race that someone else had won,
But he'd get rich or else he would die.
Social climbing
Hoping everything has a price,
Chasin' diamonds, nowhere
Thinkin' its paradise.
He's usin' any chance that he can make
He doesn't think that he can wait much longer,
He'll never know how much his mind can take,
But there's no way he'll let it go by.
Nothing matters to him "Make me a millionaire:''
You can hear him cryin' "Somebody take me there,''
Take me to my heaven,
My fantasy life,
Take me to my heaven,
Make it tonight.
Take me to my heaven,
Material delight,
Take me to my heaven,
And I'll tell myself when I'm there
That I'm doin' all right
Nothing matters to him "Make me a millionaire:''
You can hear him cryin' "Somebody take me there,''
Take me to my heaven,
My fantasy life,
Take me to my heaven,
Make it tonight.
Take me to my heaven, (Take me to my heaven)
Material delight,
Take me to my heaven, (Take me to my heaven)
Take me tonight
Take me to my heaven, (Take me to my heaven)
My fantasy life,
Take me to my heaven, (Take me to my heaven)
Take me tonight
Take me to my heaven, (Take me to my heaven)
Material delight,
Take me to my heaven, (Take me to my heaven)
And I'll tell myself when I'm there
That I'm doin' all right ,
Talking with sweet Lorraine,
Looking at the world through rose coloured glasses.
Dreaming of sweet Lorraine,
Wishing she could be everybody she passes.
She takes a man's mind, inviting him by.
If you haven't got money, then you needn't apply.
Everyone's wiser to losing on sweet Lorraine.
Stop messing with sweet Lorraine,
The only game she plays is the one she can win.
Clever girl, sweet Lorraine,
It's harder getting out than it is getting in.
Keep your distance, you're bound to survive,
If you let her get near, then she'll eat you alive,
Everyone's wiser to losing on sweet Lorraine.
Sweet Lorraine, gets right inside your mind.
Sweet Lorraine, puts you down and leaves you far behind.
Sweet Lorraine, gets right inside your mind.
Sweet Lorraine, puts you down and leaves you far behind.
Break your heart, sweet Lorraine.
It's easier to give than it is to receive.
Think about sweet Lorraine
The lies she always told,
Then she said you must leave.
Learning a lesson from mistakes that you made.
She lost her own heart, that's the price that she paid.
Everyone's wiser to losing on sweet Lorraine.
Everyone's wiser to losing on sweet Lorraine.
Buildings tower round me like they're waiting for the kill.
For days I haven't eaten and I really do feel ill.
If I cry for help, will you hear my call?
If I stumble now, would you let me fall?
Won't you give me a hand?
Try to understand,
I'm a stranger in the city.
Stuck inside these streets it's like a human traffic jam.
People walk right over me now, they don't give a damn.
If I ask for death, would you give me a gun?
If I took your hand, would you turn and run?
Won't you pity me,
Just try to see,
I'm a stranger in the city.
All my friends were saying that the streets were paved with gold.
I couldn't wait to get there from the stories I'd been told.
There's everything that I could want, it sounded like a dream.
But my money's gone
And I've got no-one.
Friends are nowhere to be seen.
Concrete jungle all around can't hear the birds and bees.
I've walked for miles, I can't believe what happened to the trees.
If I need someone, would you help me to get by?
If I come to you, would you give it a try?
I'm all alone,
So far from home.
