Smokie - The 25th Anniversary Album (1975-2000) [compilation] (2003) by Smokie (보컬) on maniadb.com

A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat,
The dust that hung from the desert skies,
Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes,

Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life,
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side,
And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand,
And show me a way to understand.

So if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you know what I need,
And if you really really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way,
Yes if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me,
And if you really really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way.

A reckless nite in a nameless town,
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound,
A beach that wept with deserted waves,
That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe,
Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me,
But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see,
You know you've got my life lying in your hands,
It's up to you to make me understand.

So if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you know what I need,
And if you really really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way,

Yes if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me,
And if you really really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way.

If you want my sympathy,
Just open your heart to me,
And you'll get whatever you'll ever need.
You think that's too high for you,
Oh baby, I would die for you,
When there's nothin' left,
You know where I'll be.

Lay back in the arms of someone,
You give in to the charms of someone,
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.
Lay back in the arms of someone,
When you feel you're a part of someone,
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

So baby just call on me,
When you want all of me,
And I'll be your lover I'll be your friend.
And there's nothing I won't do,
'Cause baby I just live for you,
With nothing to hide, no need to pretend - oh-oh.

Lay back in the arms of someone,
You give in to the charms of someone,
Lay back in the arms of someone you love - darling,
Lay back in the arms of someone,
When you feel you're a part of someone,
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

Oh I know you think that's too high for you,
Oh baby, I would die for you,
When there's nothing left,
I'll be with you.

Lay back in the arms of someone,
You give in to the charms of someone,
Lay back in the arms of someone you love - baby,
Lay back in the arms of someone,
When you feel you're a part of someone,
Lay back in the arms of someone you love - oh yeah

Maybe I'm a loner
Maybe I'm a man
Maybe I'm a fool
But tried to understand
I've been a dreamer
And I've been around
And I've spent my time
In many lonesome towns

I used to know a woman
I used to know a child
Sometimes she was so gentle
Sometimes she'd be so wild
I gave her all my lovin
And I gave her all my youth
So certain of the future
So sure we found the truth
San Francisco Bay
Where my love
and I did run away
We were looking for another day
But we couldn't find
the words to say
San Francisco Bay
All the flowers
that we gave away
Didn't know our sky
was turing gray
We were so young
in San Francisco Bay

So you see my darling
Just why I've been so strange
I've had so many heartaches
It's hard for me to change
So when you talk of lovin
And going away with me
I still can't help remembering
The way things used to be
San Francisco Bay
Where my love
and I did run away
We were looking for another day
But we couldn't find
the words to say
San Francisco Bay
All the flowers
that we gave away
Didn't know our sky
was turing gray
We were so young
in San Francisco Bay
San Francisco Bay
Where my love
and I did run away
We were looking for another day
But we couldn't find
the words to say

My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say

Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky

Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you

So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me



Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
FADE
Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Sally called, when she got the word,
샐리는 소문을 듣고 전화를 했어.
She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice."
너 앨리스 얘기 들었죠?

Well, I rushed to the window,
and I looked outside,
글쎄, 나는 창가로 달려가 밖을 내다 봤어.
And I could hardly believe my eyes,
그리고 내가 본 것을 믿을 수 없었어.
A big limousine pulled slowly
into Alice's drive.
큰 리무진이 천천히
앨리스의 집으로 들어가고 있었거든.

I don't why why she's leaving,
or where she's gonna go,
나는 그녀가 왜 떠나는지,
어디로 가려는지도 모르겠어.
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know,
그녀는 나름대로 이유가 있겠지만,
나는 알고 싶지는 않았어.

'Cause for twenty four years I've been
living next door to Alice.
왜냐 하면 나는 24년 동안 앨리스의
옆집에 살아 왔었거든.
Twenty four years,
just waitin' for a chance,
24년 동안 기회가 오기를 기다렸어,

To tell her how I'm feeling,
maybe get a second glance,
내 느낌을 그녀에게 말할 그런 기회,
혹시나 다시 (앨리스를)
잠깐 볼 수 있을 그런 기회를 말이야.
Now I've gotta get used to not
living next door to Alice.
난 이제 앨리스가
옆집에 살지 않는 것에 대해 익숙해져야 해.
We grew up together, two kids in the park
우리는 함께 자랐지, 공원에 있는 두 꼬마는
Carved our initials deep in the bark......
우리 이름의 머릿글자를 나무에 깊이 새겼어.
Me and Alice.
나와 앨리스의 이름을

Now she walks to the door
with her head held high,
지금 그녀는 당당하게 문을 나서고 있어.
And just for a moment,
I caught her eye,
그리고 아주 잠시 동안 그녀와 눈이 마주쳤어.
As the big limousine pulled
slowly out of Alice's drive.
그리고 큰 리무진이 천천히
그녀의 집에서 나오고 있었어.

Then Sally called back,
and asked how I felt,
그리고 샐리가 다시 전화해서,
내 기분이 어떤지 물었어.
She said "I know how to help get over Alice."
그녀는 "난 어떻게 앨리스에 대한 실연을
극복할 수 있는지 알아"라고 말했어.

She said "Now, Alice is gone,
but I'm still here.
그녀는 "이제 앨리스는 가버렸지만
나는 여전히 여기 있어.”라고 말했어.
And you know I've been waiting
twenty four years"
그리고 내가 24년 동안 기다려 왔단 걸 알잖아
라고 말했지.
And the big limousine disappeared
그리고 큰 리무진이 사라졌어.

But I'll never get used to not
living next door to Alice.
난 결코 앨리스가 옆집에 살지 않는 것에
익숙해질 수 없을 거야..
No, I'll never get used to not
living next door to Alice...
아니, 나는 결코 앨리스가 옆집에 살지
않는 것에 익숙해질 수 없을 거야

Juanita came last night and she cried over and over
Uuh Daddy I love you
you know and I think it's the moonlight.
She looked so fine well she looked allright and she moaned

Oh Daddy move over

Oh baby you know what i like and I think it's the moonlight.
Made in Mexico
schooled in France
Oh-la lovin' she neede no teachin'
Oh Man I can say international ways I believe in.

Mexican girl don't leave me alone

I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you believe me to be here and love me tonight.
Mexican Girl I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live will always remember the once that I called
My mexican girl.-

Her skin was soft as the velvet sky and her hair
It shone in the moonlight.
And as the music did play well the night turned to day
And I held her tight.
The she looked at me with her dark brown eyes and she
whispered

The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
(Chorus)
Oh my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
Chorus (Repeat)
Oh my crying (Oh my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back
to my own home
I'm changing, arranging,
I'm changing,
I'm changing everything
Everything around me
The world is
a bad place
A bad place
A terrible place to live
Oh but I don't wanna die ...

Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin',
When I saw you walking my way,
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want,
But so do I and I ain't losing today.
Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging,
You were driving me out of my mind,
On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do,
Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find,

So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder,
As you turned and you looked my way,
Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive,
If I'd have said what I wanted to say,
So being polite said what you doin' tonight,
You said: "Just so happens I'm free",
You got all the right curves and all the right words,
And that's alright by me.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss,
She said: "Hold on a minute or two".
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me,
I said: "Baby what's troublin' you",
She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean",
So we sat and we talked for a while,
And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist,
And I must say she did it with style.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

All right...

Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin',
When I saw you walking my way,
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want,
But so do I and I ain't losing today.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.
Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more.
Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more.

Every dream that I dreamed
seems so blowin' on vain
like clouds in the wind
way up in the sky
Every moment that I made
seems to be the wrong way
like a tall black night
nothing's turn of day
What can I do
what can I do
Nothing's the same as
it used to be
Nothing's the same as
it used to be
What can I do

Used to play my guitar
with a smile on my face
now every thing's changed
my whole life is thrill arranged
from the day I was born
so I did dig my name
though I tried and tried
that name still remain
What can I do
what can I do
Nothing's the same as
it used to be
Nothing's the same as
it used to be
What can I do

What can I do
What can I do
I hear voices of singing
but no one's there
It's a ghost of my life
bringing fancy chance to the mind
Locking key inside me
from the freedom and sin
Oh come let me in
I was sold all over a gain
What can I do
what can I do
Nothing's the same as
it used to be
Nothing's the same as
it used to be
What can I do

what can I do
What can I do
what can I do
what
