Christine McVie (born Christine Anne Perfect, 12 July 1943, in Bouth, near Ulverston, Lancashire, England) is an English rock singer, keyboardist, and songwriter. Her primary fame came as a member of the British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac, though she has also released three solo albums. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Christine was born in the small village of Bouth in the Lake District of England and grew up in the Bearwood area of Smethwick near Birmingham, where her father, Cyril P.A.Perfect, was a concert violinist and music lecturer at St Peter's College of Education, Saltley, Birmingham. Christine's mother Beatrice E.M.(called Tee) née Reece, was a medium, psychic, and faith healer. Her grandfather had been an organist at Westminster Abbey. Although Christine was introduced to the piano at the age of four, it was not until age eleven that she studied music seriously, when she was re-introduced to the instrument by Philip Fisher, a local musician and school friend of her older brother John.[citation needed] Continuing her classical training until the age of fifteen, her musical focus made a radical shift to rock & roll when John brought home a Fats Domino songbook. Other early influences included The Everly Brothers.
Night after night, day after day
The dream I keep havin' just won't stay away
And it's you that's the star with the famous name
Gettin' all that you wanted taken away
(chorus)
Two headed coin, the other side is gettin' strong
And saying good things come to those who wait
But don't wait too long...
Hold out a candle, look in my eyes
You'll see a prisoner, just learnin' to lie
How does it go ?
Just like a whisper on the wind
And the voice that gets louder before it disappears again
(repeat chorus)
Now that your famous, now that you're rich
You'd love to be young, but you can't find that switch
You've come a long way, you've got nowhere to go
Come on now mystery train
Bring her back to me again
I want to feel her hold me tight
And never be lonely at night
Roll down your mystery track
Pass the cities all blazin' black
I'm counting hours till she comes back
Not gonna be lonely again...
(chorus)
Oh I can hear you coming
Yeah & you're carrying something
Got my baby on your mystery train
(repeat chorus)
Yeah come on now mystery train
Through the mountains blowing rain
But when you get there mystery train
It'll never be rainy again...
Now I don´t care if I get burned
Loving you is what comes first
Although you´ve heard a thousand lies
Please believe me for tonight
Do you know you´re magic
Yeah, you little star
Walkin´ through the world
Breakin´ people´s heart
Do you know you´re magic
Yeah, you little star
Well, shine on, shine on
Back and forth across my heart
I won´t forget you, little star
Little star
I don´t care if I get burned
Loving you is what comes first
I don´t care if I get burned
Loving you
Although you´ve heard it a hundred times
Believe me, darling, so have I
But now let´s live just for tonight
And let tomorrow take its time
Repeat chorus
Back and forth across my heart
I won´t forget you, little star
Yeah here comes the night, isn't it exciting
All your fantasies come true, oh yeah
When it's dark enough, promises of love
Thing we've never even try to do
(chorus)
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Here comes the night...
Wonder what she's like, you'll find out to tonight
She's still in the dark like you, oh yeah
Cities come alive, painting made of life
Oh the magic that the night can do
(repeat chorus)
The sun is set, oh yeah
Twilight, all right
Here comes the night
You got those big dark eyes that flash at me, baby
You got a head on your shoulders, you know what I mean
You got legs so long like you could walk on air
For you darlin', I'd go anywhere
(chorus)
For your love, your precious love
I' d do anything, yes I would
I want your love, your precious love
I' ve been too lonely too long
You got a kind of walk that's just so fine
The way you fill those blue jeans baby, my my my
Yes and when you smiled at me like you did just now
All I want is just to get to you somehow
(repeat chorus)
Yeah those big dark eyes that flash at me
It's just your precious love that I want, you to see
Now baby I'm no stranger
So why do act shy
You've known me all my life just as a friend
But suddenly I know
That I'm seeing someone new
Can you feel the lover that I feel in you...
(chorus)
Yeah you're easy to love
It's good to know that we could fall
Yeah so easy to love
Well don't say no just let it fall
Yeah so easy to love
Don't say no just, let it fall...
Now baby don't be anxious
I'm gonna treat you right
Just think of all the time we've been alone
I know it's different now I'm not use to touching you
So pretend we're strangers
And do what strangers do...
3 hearts in a tangle, wheels start to turn
Someone meets someone, & someone gets burned
One loves the money, two loves the show
Three's always ready, you can't say no
(chorus)
3 hearts in a tangle
Someone's in the dark
You stay together, can't live apart
3 hearts in a tangle
I can't tell a lie
3 hearts in a tangle, nobody's right...
Two hearts in a tangle, now somebody's sad
There's always a back door if you wanna be bad
Yeah 3 hearts in a tangle, the third time around
Somebody gets restless, I'm doin' it now
3 hearts in a tangle
The knot is tied
I'm caught in the middle
Two hearts in tangle, one of them's you
Fingers are pointing, now who is the fool
Yeah one is out playin', & one waits at home
No one gets even, you're all left alone
(chorus)
3 hearts in a tangle
Such a hard thing to fight
Somebody's suspicious, yeah
Where did you spend the night ?
3 hearts in a tangle
I can't tell a lie
You've heard about the Flying Dutchman
The ghost of all the ships at sea
But just in case you think it's lies
Then here's a ghost for our own time
You see there was a crash at night
And the pilots in command all died
And after many months has passed
The widows all had cried their last
(chorus)
And when the moon shines on the silver wing
When the moon shines on the silver wing
When the moon shines, look out here comes the ghost of flight 401...
The ghost of flight 401, appeared aboard the jet airplanes
In flesh & blood & clothes he came
On an eastern airline I can't name
But suddenly the ghost appeared
Of the pilots that had died that year
I'm not saying they were puffs of smoke
They were real as life, it ain't no joke
(repeat chorus)
Ooh those silver wings
Yeah those silver wings
Yeah there shinin' in that sun
Well hello, Carolene
It's so good just to see you
It's been quite a while
And we both may have changed
But last night I was wondering
If I'm under my track
'Cause I just got to say
Baby I want you back
I want to know
Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me wondering
Let's do it again
I want to know
Don't Keep me waiting
Don't keep me wondering
Let's do it again
Well hello, Carolene
When you caught me crying
Late in the day
When the light turns to blue
'Cause we lived our love
In those warm afternoons
Oh I know you remember
Won't you please say you do
I want to Know
Don't Keep me waiting
Don't keep me wondering
Let's do it again
(Chorus repeats two more times)
Aaaah, Carolene
Let's do it again
Why Don't you do it again
Aaaah, Carolene
Let's do it again
Why don't we do it again
Out of the shadows & in to the sun
Didn't think it could happen to me
Never thought I'd be a fool in love
Ah girl you've been changing me
(chorus)
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But did you lose your heart to me...
Now I wouldn't ask you to sacrifice
The way that you live your life
All that I'd ask is you give your heart
Ah girl I've given mine
(chorus)
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But the thing that I've got to know is
Did you lose your heart to me ?
Now friends & lovers have said it's true
There's always one think that loves more
So I want to know do I wait for you
Or is it me that you're waiting for
Come softly darling, come to me stay
You're my obsession, forever & a day
I want, want you to know, I love, I love you so
Please hold, hold me so tight, all through, all through the night
Speak softly darling, hear what I say
I love you always, always, always
I've waited, waited so long, for kisses & your love
Please come, come to me, please come, softly
I want, want you to know, I love, I love you so
I need, need you so much, I want to feel your touch
Well come down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry
When you were young
You got down on your knees
You prayed for someone
Someone you could believe
Yeah, you put your faith
Right in his hands
Oh, when he let go
You couldn´t understand
Welcome down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
He knows why you cry
Fallen angel, temptation had you lost
Single girl, you´ve been double-crossed
Hold on holy one, some day you´ll be saved
And I want to be the one
On that blessed day
When you come down from your church
And talk to a man
Who knows that he loves you
And wants to understand
Fly down from your perch
And walk with a man
Who knows how to love you
Yes, I believe I can
Well hello little girl, welcome to this big town
I´ve been patiently waiting, let me show you around
Did you bring lots of money, do you have nerves of steel
And are you ready to gamble, put your heart on the wheel
Oh oh, the devil wind
Big town claims another win
Is this how it all begins
How the innocents have changed
Oh oh, the devil wind
Breaks another young heart again
So this is how it always ends
How the innocents have changed
I was born in this city, I destroyed my old man
But he came to this city from an innocent land
Now I should know better, I´d be a fool if I got hurt
But you do what you have to, let me be the first
Repeat chorus
After the devil wind stops blowin´
Friends & lovers have said it's true
There's only one thing that loves more
What I want to know, do I wait for you
Or is it me that your waiting for...
(chorus)
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But did you lose your heart to me
Now I wouldn't ask you to sacrifice
The way that you live your life
What I want to know would you give your heart
Ah girl I've given mine...
Last night red lights & sirens sound
Nine miles on a back street looking out of town
Out of touch going underground
Looking into the mirror
You can see 'em bearing down
(chorus)
Long road winding, headlights in the dark
Don't know where we're going, but it can't be to far...
Ten g's three for you the rest I'll keep
No clues no avenues, it's a perfect scheme
Outskirts hang a left at the hanging tree
Cause they say they're going to get you
But they won't mess with me
(chorus)
Long road burnin', you know you can't look back
Cause everywhere you are turning
You can't escape the fact...
Yeah they're getting closer now
Step on it man, you know they're gaining ground
Not afraid to die until right now
I can almost feel them breathing, fear for me..
Last night murder one was in the air
Johnny didn't mean to do it, he was really scared
Outlaws runnin' hiding who knows where
Next time your on the outskirts, I'll be waiting there...
(chorus)
Long road a winding, headlights in the dark
Long road returning
Like a knife in your heart
Now there is a way to say I love you
And it's said everyday by some kind of fool
But where is the way to tell her goodbye
We both can't be wrong, I must be right
Hot love, cold world, gonna make you cry
Hot love, cold world, oh yeah
Hot love, cold world, gonna make you cry
Hot love, cold world, oh yeah
Our connection was strong, I thought it could last
Dreams of the future, not a care for the past
But look at us now not knowing what to do
You're looking so sad I feel so cruel
Hot love, cold world, gonna make you cry
Hot love, cold world, oh yeah
Hot love, cold world, gonna make you cry
There´s nothing in this world we can explain
That´s why love´s the most important thing
Someone to talk to in the night
And when the world is wrong
She´ll try to make it right
Chorus:
Oh Jenny won´t you try to understand
Oh Jenny I just want to be your man
Yeah, Jenny, cause the world is cruel enough
If you´re near or you´re far
I see love in your heart
And you´ve got all the love that I want
I´m a stranger in this world
Sometimes I wonder who made the plans
That´s why I want your love in my life
So I can be with you and forget the world outside
Repeat chorus
Oh Jenny won´t you try to understand
I´m a stranger in this world
Sometimes I wonder who made the plans
Oh Jenny won´t you try to understand
Lady all night I've dreaming
Of days that you spent by my side
The best days of my life, don't you remember
We were together you & I
(chorus)
And we had dancin' in our eyes
Summer had us hypnotized
We had dancin in our eyes..we had dancin' in our eyes
We lived one day at a time
We had dancin in our eyes...
I thought that we'd live there forever
And I swore that our love had to grow
But in the summertime love means December
Will surely following blowing cold
(repeat chorus)
Now love's like a road that you travel
Without thinking what's round the bend
Like a drive in the country on Sunday
All soon it's got to end
(chorus)
We had dancin' in our eyes
We had the best days of our lives
We had dancin' in our eyes
We lived one day at a time
Written by Bob Welch.
Goin' in a straight line all night
Finally come to that house on the right
Parked out in the front is somebody's Benz
She's sneakin' around with her old boyfriends
(chorus)
You can't do that, oh no
You can't do that, I'm gonna let you go
You can't do that, whoi do you think I am
You can't do that, with another man
She been tell little lies
That slightly white
Doin' anything to stay out all night
Guess I should had a suspicious mind
Cause if you fool around then you're gonna find
(repeat chorus)
You can't do that.....(repeat chorus & fade)
Out of the shadows & in to the sun
Didn't think it could happen to me
Never thought I'd be a fool in love
Ah girl you've been changing me
(chorus)
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But did you lose your heart to me...
Now I wouldn't ask you to sacrifice
The way that you live your life
All that I'd ask is you give your heart
Ah girl I've given mine
(chorus)
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But the thing that I've got to know is
Did you lose your heart to me ?
Now friends & lovers have said it's true
There's always one think that loves more
So I want to know do I wait for you
Or is it me that you're waiting for
(repeat chorus)

I did a thing last night
You know those future games
I turned off all the lights
Oh, the future came
You were by my side
Will you explain-oh yeah
Real rhyme or reason for those future games
Now you were there last night
And oh were you afraid
Of things we'd come upon
While playing future games
But baby it's alright and so have faith
Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face
How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight
Wondering if children will he bring to the light
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain
Well I know I'm not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games
You better take your time
You know there's no escape
The future sends a sign
Of things we will create
Baby it's alright
And so have faith
Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face
How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight
Wondering if children will he bring to the light
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain
And I know I'm not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games
Future games...
Future games...
Future games...
Future games...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
Think about the place behind your eyes
Then think about the darkness, when you turn out the lights
Think about the space between the notes
Well that's the dancashiva
Don't ask me where it goes
(chorus)
Rollin' rollin'
Shifting like the sands
Rollin' rollin'
Twisting in the wind
Never looking back again...
Find the darkest night that you can find
And see if you can read between the lines
Cause in between your memories
Desires & your dreams, you'll find the dancashiva naturally
(repeat chorus)
Go to the seashore one fine day
Pretend that you're a bubble on a wave
Ocean keeps on going
bubble bound to break
Leaving dansachiva in the wake

If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Don't you look back,
We're livin a madhouse, you know
Digital religions' runnin' the whole show
See that guy over there
Rolling his eyes & tearing his hair
He controls deployment of a thousand phantom jets
Slouching towards Bethlehem
Up to his tricks
Dealing with a real B666
Were livin' in a madhouse, you know
Nothing works & the jerks are runnin' the whole show
See that guy over
Conversing with the empty air
Well he wrote all the programs on a million tape machines
Slouching towards Bethlehem
Up to his tricks
Dealing with a real B666
Well you've seen him before, in the past
He was there at first, he'll be there at last
But I just couldn't help tryin' to warn ya
Cause he's slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
You're just one of his million programming tricks
She is over there, that the one I mean
Yeah she really haunts me
Friend your lookin' strange, is there something wrong
Uh oh the truth is dawning
Guess you were her old man before I was your friend
Funny how fate plays another trick again....
(chorus)
Fate decides, totally
Fate decides, it ain't me
Fate decides, who do you love
The hand of fate decides....
It's amazing how the hand of fate revolves & your caught in the circle
If you're a real friend you'll never mind that i happened to love that girl
She's neither yours or mine
Part of the whole design
I got to take my chance
Cause when it's time it's time...
It's easy to see why
Cause I look in those green eyes
And I fall in love with her
All over again
Yeah, but this can be dangerous
Cause those green eyes seem to say yes
So easily & to so many men
(chorus)
Well I know I've got a jealous heart
A jealous mind
But I'm trying to keep a hold of my girl
Now loving so caring
But sometimes she's daring
And those big green eyes
They set you up for a fall
Now I'm tryin' to keep her
But I just can't reach her
That with me it's all
Or nothing at all
Well, she´s made me dangerous
Think I´m gonna cause myself some pain
Because you said Justine just a minute ago
Well, please don´t say that name
And if this world is really crazy
Well, she has made me more insane
I don´t really care if she lives or she dies
But please don´t say that name
Chorus:
Justine
Really had me yearning
I never thought I´d ache like this
Well, Justine wait a minute longer
Baby please don´t go like this
Cause it´s bad enough that I´ve got to contend with this world
And its evil ways
She had everything that I wanted but she had no shame
So please don´t say that name
And if this world is goin´ crazy
Well, she has made me more insane
Although I don´t really care if she lives or she dies
But please don´t say that name
Too much too soon, sure was sweet
Foreign cars soft leather seats
Foreign prices can't compete
We can't go back, were in too deep
Man overboard
For rich or poor
They all want more
We've gone too far, man overboard
Man overboard
You can't ignore
It's so hard core
We've gone too far, man overboard
Man get laid off, he can't eat, Vietnam Vet., he can't sleep
Big Rolls Royce drivin' down the street two sexy blondes in the back seat !
Man Overboard
When it rains, it pours
I vote against
I don't vote for
We've gone too far, man overboard
Man overboard
No he can't afford
You've got enough
But we want more
He's gone to far, man overboard
I'm bored over everything I read
I'm bored over everything on T.V.
I'm bored over you
I'm bored over me
I'm overboard
Way overboard
Man overboard !
Man overboard
I'm falling overboard
We'll I'm so bored
They've gone too far, man overboard
Man overboard
It's all their fault
Have you every had nightmares every night
We'll it's been that way since you came around
I'm trying to fight this feeling down
Cause all of my dreams are about you now
What kind of curse make me what you so
Just a need of you that I can't let go
Oh how it's strange what a nightmare can put you through
(chorus)
Yeah it's two in the morning
I don't know what to do
The rest of the city is sleeping
But the nightmare rides on through
Yeah it's three in the morning
I can't sleep without you
In the dead of the night
Here comes a nightmare
Destroying my solitude
Late at night
I can't forget you
It's not psychic
I'm just scare
I could get to sleep if I knew you cared
Instead I'm dreamin' of you
It's the same nightmare
What kind of curse makes me want you so
It's a need of you that I can't let go
Ain't it strange what a nightmare can put you through
(repeat chorus)
I know I should be sleeping
I tried to go to bed
But in a dream I wake up screaming
You're the nightmare in my head
Reasons
When it´s dark and it´s cold
There´s a reason I need your warmth
It´s because of your fire
That´s the reason I´m waiting for
No reason to be ashamed
But reason for me to say
Oh girl do we have to wait
Yeah girl, do we have to wait any longer
Reason number one
First I need your love
Isn´t that reason enough
Reason number two
All I see is you
Reason is that I need you
Reasons
Now even though we´ve been down
There´s no reason to be afraid
Cause we can start anytime and forget about yesterday
Oh no reason to say you´re scared
The reason is waiting there
Just open your heart to me
We´re stronger now, girl, you see, yeah
So much stronger
Reason number one
First I need your love
Isn´t that reason enough
Reason number two
All I see is you
And there´s another reason too
Reasons
Reason, ninety-six, baby
Come here quick
There´s another reason too
The girl can´t stop
Oh that magical power, directing her dreams
But her only dream was to be up on the screen
Yes and though she had my love, it didn´t seem real
It was the power of a million lovers she need to fool
She got to make it in Hollywood
Makin´ it to the top
She knows that it might destroy her, but the girl can´t stop
She got to make it in Hollywood
Makin´ it to the top
She knows that I really love her, but the girl can´t stop
She can´t stop
She didn´t need money
I had some of that
But she needed to know it was her those eyes were lookin´ at
Now she´s selling her secrets, and shoppin´ her past
She was a beautiful baby
But she´s gettin´ old fast
She got to make it in Hollywood
Yeah, reachin´ out for the top
To feel the eyes of a million lovers
The girl can´t stop
She got to make it in Hollywood
Feelin´ her way to the top
Well, have you seen that girl in the corner?
I'd like to take her out of her chains,
'Cause if I had my way with you baby,
I wouldn't change in your life today.
Your eyes got me dreaming.
Your eyes got me blind.
Your eyes got me hoping
That I'll be holding you close to mine.
Your eyes got me dreaming.
Your eyes got me blind.
Your eyes got me hoping
That I'll be holding you close to mine.
She was the same as a hundred ladies,
But when my eyes looked at her I learned
That she was keeping a secret fire,
And if I got too close I'd burn.
So it looked like I had to move slowly
Just like a cat at night in the trees,
'Cause I was waiting for her to show me
The way that she'd like the love to feel.
Your eyes got me dreaming.
Your eyes got me blind.
Your eyes got me hoping
That I'll be holding you close to mine.
Your eyes got me dreaming.
Your eyes got me blind.
Your eyes got me hoping
That I'll be holding you close to mine.
Ebony eyes, ebony eyes.
Ebony eyes, ebony eyes.
Your eyes got me dreaming.
Your eyes got me blind.
Your eyes got me hoping
That I'll be holding you close to mine.
Your eyes got me dreaming.
Your eyes got me blind.
Your eyes got me hoping
That I'll be holding you close to mine.
Your eyes got me dreaming.
Your eyes got me blind.
Your eyes got me hoping
That I'll be holding you close to mine.
I´m adrift on a sea of mystery
I´m sailin´ round the Cape Unknown
But that China girl is waitin´ there
So I know where I got to go
Oh China, I can hear you call
You see I really don´t have the choices
I´m a prisoner of those oriental eyes
So I pretend to chart my courses
But I´m dreamin´ of those China nights
Oh China, I can hear you call
Oh China, Oh China, Oh China, oh yeah
Those oriental eyes are such a mystery
Yeah they are
China calls again
You see now long, long ago
I once had the power to levitate the world
With just my will
Well I thought that it was gone
How could I be so wrong
I belong to China now
In the summer, when we change to men
Welll we eased up on the throttle then
And we listened to open book of love
All the the crazies & the water bombs
Car radio turned number one
Yeah the one time we were careless, wild & young
(chorus)
Those days are gone
But we still can hang on to our love
Yeah we can
I remember cruisin' all those streets
In the beachtowns where the gas was cheap
And the summer, seemed to last longer than life
On the bus bench, eatin' cherry pie
With the one guy
Who was always high
And the one girl
That you dream of every night
Written by Bob Welch.
Goin' in a straight line all night
Finally come to that house on the right
Parked out in the front is somebody's Benz
She's sneakin' around with her old boyfriends
(chorus)
You can't do that, oh no
You can't do that, I'm gonna let you go
You can't do that, whoi do you think I am
You can't do that, with another man
She been tell little lies
That slightly white
Doin' anything to stay out all night
Guess I should had a suspicious mind
Cause if you fool around then you're gonna find
(repeat chorus)
You are here and warm
But I could look away and you'd be gone
'Cause we live in a time
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives
And that's why I've traveled far
'Cause I come so together where you are
Yes, and all of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be merry
All of the things that they say are very
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady, gentle one (All I need is you)
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady, gentle one
Ooh, sentimental lady
Yes, and all of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be merry
All of the things that they say are very
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady, gentle one (All I need is you)
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady, gentle one (All I need is you)
All of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be merry
All of the things that they say are very (All I need is you)
All of the things that I said that I wanted

Two different glasses are filled with champagne
What is the meaning of this ?
Cause all of that atmosphere painfully made
Has taken an ironic twist
The table was set intimate way
With color he knew she would love
But sometimes a fantasy goes the wrong way
And pretending's just not good enough
(chorus)
Imaginary fool
Still hoping she loves you
Pretending isn't fair
Not half as good as being there
(repeat chorus)
Now all of ther secrets you've poured from your heart
Seems to have just been in vain
And listening to you was the easiest part
But your not in her future today
It was just an affair that was meant for one night
But you didn't see it that way
For you it meant deeper than she would have liked
Now your standing here hearing her say....
Imaginary fool
You though that I loved yiou
Pretending isn't fair
But if you must pretend your there..
Lock her in your imagination
Someone to love
Undress her with your eyes....
(repeat chorus)
Imaginary fool
You thought that I loved you
Pretending isn't fair
But if you must pretend you're there
Written by Christine McVie.
Oh I have seen
Such madness in the air
Just like a dream
It makes no sense anywhere
Hopes have shattered
Shattered like broken glass
I believed it was just too good to last
(It seemed to me it was too good to last)
So now you're saying you've been wrong
And you want to come back home
You know I've known all along
That you had a heart of stone
And now you want to change your song
You're tired of living alone
You know I've known all along
That you had a heart made of stone
But don't you remember
Those days of cold delight
When we knew that together
We could make it all right
It seems so long ago
Oh maybe it was yesterday
Where did the time go
I guess it just slipped away
(Seemed like the time was slipping away)
So now you're saying you've been wrong
And you want to come back home
You know I've known all along
That you had a heart of stone
And now you want to change your song
You're tired of living alone
You know I've known all along
That you had a heart made of stone
You're never too old to learn
You're never too young to pray
It's never too late to learn
And hope for better days
You're never too old to learn
You're never too young to pray
It's never too late to learn
And hope for better days
So now you're saying you've been wrong
And you want to come back home
You know I've known all along
That you had a heart of stone
And now you want to change your song
You're tired of living alone
You know I've known all along
That you had a heart made of stone
So now you're saying you've been wrong
And you want to come back home
You know I've known all along
