The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane

Am i awake or do i dream?
The strangest pictures i have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away

With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies

It's either real or it's a dream
There 's nothing that is in between...


Twilight, i only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, i gave you time to steal my mind Away from me.
Across the night i saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light That now is day and once was night
You lead me here and then you go away.

Repeat chorus

(you brought me here, but can you take me back again?)


With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between...


Repeat chorus

Twilight, i only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, i only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, i gave you time to steal my mind Away from me.

In this life I′ve seen everything I can see woman
I′ve seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I′ve seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I′ve seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I′ve seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I′ve seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
But I never seen nothing like you

Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Do ya do ya want my love

Well I, heard the crowd singin′ out of tune
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin′ on the drums
And I heard the police playin′ with their guns
But I never heard nothin′ like you

In the country where the sky touches down
On the field, she lay her down to rest
In the morning sun
They come a′runnin′ just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don′t give a damn

Well I think you know what I′m trying to say woman
That is I′d like to save you for a rainy day
I′ve seen enough of the world to know
That I′ve got to get it all to get it all to grow

Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walkin' on a waves chicane
Staring as she called my name

And I can't get it out of my head
No I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
Cos I can't get it out of my head

Breakdown on the shore line
Can't move, it's and ebb tide
Morning don't go here tonight
Searching for her silver light
(repeat chorus)

Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and
Ivanhoe and Lancelot they don't envy me
Sitting till the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps going round and round
(repeat chorus

The iceman came to me tonight,
So very near but out of sight.
I heard the footsteps in the hall
And I heard a cold voice call,
It's such a lonely world.

Then I knew that you were gone,
It came to me, I was alone.
Now I'm left out in the cold
But the story's far from told,
It's such a lonely world.

It's like Latitude 88 North,
It's so cold, cold as hell.
35 below and falling,
How I wish that she was calling me.

Frozen shadows in the doorways,
They will linger there always
And as the dawn begins to break,
She's gone it's hard to take,
It's such a lonely world.

It's like Latitude 88 North,
It's so cold, cold as hell.
35 below and falling,
How I wish that she was calling me.

It's like Latitude 88 North,
It's so cold, cold as hell.
35 below and falling,
How I wish that she was calling me.

Latitude 88 North,
It's so cold, cold as hell.
35 below and falling,
How I wish that she was calling me.

Latitude 88 North,
It's so cold, cold as hell.
35 below and falling,
How I wish that she was calling me.

Summer came and passed away,
hardly seemed to last a day
but it's over and what can I do?
Music playin' in the air,
silence on a darkened stair
'cos it's over and what can I do?

It's over, it's over, all over,
it's all over now
and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin' down, down, down,
it's all over.
Feelin' down, down, down.
Baby, baby, it's all gone,
rolled out to sea.

Lookin' over sunny days,
searchin' for the righteous wave
'cos it's over and what can I do?
Lookin' from this distant shore
you ain't sailin' by no more
'cos it's over and what can I do?

It's over, it's over, all over,
it's all over now
and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin' down, down, down,
it's all over.
Feellin' down, down, down.

Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over,
it's all over and what can I do?
Ah, it's over, it's over,
it's all over.

Oh, it's over, it's over.
Don't shed a tear for me, it's over,
don't shed a tear although it's over.

Remember the good old 1980s
When things were so uncomplicated ?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.
I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
You'll never know.

Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon

Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright

Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
Standing there

Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from Satellite Two
As the minutes go by, what should I do?
I paid the fare, what more can I say?
It's just one way

Ticket to the moon..

Oh I know it's strange, but I think that it's about to change
So I'll take the chance to get back into the straight again
Heaven only knows, I'm really on the level
Heaven only knows, I'm trying to find a way
Heaven only knows, I'm walking down a straight

Starlight, I hear you callin' out to me.
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel you're so real, I can see you're so near
and the you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night don't tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away. (repeat & fade)

- Jeff Lynne

Is this on?
OK, after four!
Four!

I used to think she was the greatest thing
I really can't give her a diamond ring
She said she'd rather die than ever leave me
Well, I never saw her face since then
And if the law don't get her, then I will
Four little diamonds

She must be somewhere on the open road
She always said she was the lonely one
She gets you down with her tales of woe
She took me for everything
And if the law don't get her, then I will
Four little diamonds

Ooh, ooh
Four little diamonds

I looked around, I climbed up high into the dawn
But she was gone into the night
I thought about the things she said
And all the things we'd done
But where could she run
There's just no answer to give

I keep a wondering about her day and night
She probably thinks I was a fool, she's right
She don't know it
But I'm gonna keep on searchin for that woman
I'm gonna search everywhere
And if the law don't get her, then I will
Four little diamonds

Ooh, ooh
Four little diamonds

I looked around, I climbed up high into the dawn
But she was gone into the night
I thought about the things she said
And all the things we'd done
But she ran away
There's just to answer to give

I still hear calling out to me
I still listen for her endlessly
But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater
I gotta find out where she hides
'Cause if the law don't get her, then I will
Four little diamonds

Said if the law don't get her, then I will
Four little diamonds

Said if the law don't get her, then I will
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds
Four little diamonds

A moving stream of information
That is floating on the wind
The secrets never end
And now they call
They sing, they play, they dance for you
From out of the blue
What can you do?


The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear
They're calling everywhere


Where words cascade like rainbows tumbling from the sky
Then i'll be there, I'll be there
When messages will call to you their secrets all around
Without a sound, they're all around


Those secret messages that spill into the air from far away
So far away
A flowing river of illusion running with confusion
Never gone - It goes on and on

Here it comes, another lonely day
Playing the game, I'll sail away
On a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key to the eternal dream

The painted ladies of the Avalon
Play in the sun, take to the road
To the north there lies the chills of cold
To the south there lies the tales untold
But in between their lies, the place to close your eyes

CHORUS
And I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free of the world
Eldorado

Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing
Bird on the wind
Feel, feel so free
Through the life upon the rooftop haze
All the cheating and the broken days
So through it all I see
There's nothing left for me

CHORUS

Sitting here on top of everywhere
What do I Care
Days never end
I know the voyage's end will soon be here
No eternal life is here for me
And now I found the key
To the eternal dream

CHORUS

Night after night, I try to make it all fit together
Night after night, I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise, opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious


Day after day, I know it's not the way that you wanted it
Day after day, I try to find the key but it don't fit
But you how it is, no matter what I did
We gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious


Tonight, tonight, I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight, I'm sorry but I just didn't see
And now it's up to you, there's nothing else to do
We've gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious

It was 9-29,9-29 back street big city.
The sun was going' down,
there was music all around
It felt so right.

It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
you feel the world stop turnin',
you were standing
There, there was music in the air.
I should have been
Away, but I knew I'd have to stay.

Last train to London,just headin' out,
Last train to London,just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.

It was one of those nights,
one of those nights when
You feel the fire is burnin',
everybody was there,
Everybody to share,it felt so right.

There you were on your own,lookin' like you were
The only one around,I had to be with you,
Nothin' else that I could do,
I should have been away,
but I knew I'd have to say.

Last train to London,just headin' out,
Last train to London,just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.

Underneath a starry sky,time was still but hours
Must really have rushed by, I didn't realize
But love was in your eyes I really should have
Gone, but love went on and on...

Doom, gloom and misery
That's what you gave to me
Cold, tight, late and mean
Beyond my wildest dreams.

Now that it's over
And the sun came out to shine
Don't look for me
'Cause I set myself free
In my own time.

New days have come along
And now I'm at where I belong
Blue sky shines above
And I got someone to love.

Now I think about it
Lifts the clouds from my mind
Goin' out on the sea
Getting further from me
In my own time
My own time.

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Is that a tear in your eye?
Too late to cry
You and your precious disguise.

Sometimes I wonder if I ever saw the sign
But it's too late to care
'Cause I've done that, been there
In my own time.

So don't look for me
'Cause I set myself free
In my own time
In my own time.

I'm getting outta here, 'cause there's too many complications
Yeah, I'm getting outta here, don't get given any information
And if they ask you for a number to call, just say I'm gone, that's all.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

If anybody wants me, just say you don't know the address
'Cause I've had enough of the confusion and the madness
And should anybody ever try to stall, just say I'm gone, that's all.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

I'm tired of playing other peoples' games
Tired of waiting for some things to change.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

I'm tired of playing other peoples' games
Tired of waiting for some things to change.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home.
Destination unknown...

Well I came a long way to be here today
And I left you so long on this avenue,
And here I stand in the strangest land
Not knowing what to say or do.
As I gaze around at these strangers in town,
I guess the only stranger is me,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Although it's only a day since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in wonder,
The ground at my feet feet maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies under,
And when I see what they've done to this place that was home,
Shame is all that I feel,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Too late, too late to cry, the people say,
Too late for you, too late for me,
You've come so far now you know everything my friend
Just look and see the wonders of our world.

As I wander around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak aloud,
With it's ivory towers and it's plastic flowers
I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face, instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be

So I go, Though it hurts me so
I'm crying for your love

Deep waters flow, out to the sea
They never needed you or me
One summer dream, one summer dream

Blue Mountains high and valley low
I don't know which way I should go
One summer dream, one summer dream

Warm summer breeze blows endlessly
Touching the hearts of those who feel
One summer dream, one summer dream

Bird on wing goes floating by
But there's a teardrop in his eye
One summer dream, one summer dream
One summer dream, one summer dream

(One summer dream...)

Deep waters flow out to the sea
Warm summer breeze blows endlessly
(One summer dream, one summer dream)
One summer dream, one summer dream
(One summer dream...)
One summer dream, one summer dream
One summer dream, one summer dream
One summer dream, one summer dream
One summer dream, one summer dream
One summer dream, one summer dream
One summer dream...

Somebody
Told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

And pretty soon she′s really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is (static!)
Information, I′m still here
Re-dial on automatic

Calling America (can′t get a message through)
Calling America (that′s what she said to do)
Calling America (that′s where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America

But I′m just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

All I had to do was pick up the phone
I′m out in space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

She left a number I could call
But no one′s there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on

Said she′d call when she′d been gone a while
Guess she′s missing me across the miles
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America

Oh, yeah

She never cried, she only tried
To fly beyond her dreams
No walls around her mind

Deep inside she'd try to hide
That she was way beyond her means
No borders and no lines

She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah

Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah

She floated out upon the wind
That blew my thoughts into the night
She knew the things she had to know

She drifted high above my mind
Blew my brains out, did alright
I think she knew it all along

She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah

Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah

Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise

Baby, can you hear me call?
Is it alright, now your back's against the wall?
Baby, is it still the same?
Do you wonder? Is it on and back again?

Surrender, baby, surrender
Surrender, baby, surrender

I know it, what we said that day
Are you under? Did it matter anyway?
You told me, what you said is true
Does it all mean waiting back alone and blue?

Surrender, baby, surrender
Surrender, baby, surrender

Surrender, baby, surrender
Surrender, baby, surrender

Baby, can you hear me call?
Is it alright, now your back's against the wall?
Baby, is it still the same?
Do you wonder? Is it on and back again?

Surrender, baby, surrender
Surrender, baby, surrender
Surrender, baby, surrender
Surrender, baby, surrender

Surrender
