Graham Nash

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la etc

And our

I'll light the fire
And you place the flowers in the jar
That you bought today

One morning I woke up and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way, I knew
I should see it along
Go your way, I'll go mine and
Carry on

The sky is clearing and the night
Has gone out
The sun, he come, the world
is all full of light
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
To carry on

The fortunes of fables are able
To sing the song
Now witness the quickness with which
We get along
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and
Carry on

Carry on
Love is coming
Love is coming to us all

Where are you going now my love?
Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness?
Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

Girl when I was on my own
Chasing you down
What was it made you run?
Trying your best just to get around.
The questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin kinda long
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Cause I feel like I owe it to someone

Must be because I had the flu' for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking at my mirror and seeing a scar
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
Cause I missed myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone

When I finally get myself together
I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather
And I find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel like I owe it to someone

There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
and in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there,

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes

Well I came across a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him tell where are you going
This he told me

Well I am going down to Yasgur's farm
Going to join in a rock and roll band
Goin' to get back to the land to set my soul free

We are stardust, we are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

Well then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a cog in something turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning

We are stardust, we are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.

We are stardust, we are golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

If I had ever been here before I would probably know just what to do
Don't you?
If I had ever been here before on another time around the wheel
I would probably know just how to deal
With all of you.
And I feel
Like I've been here before
Feel
Like I've been here before
And you know
It makes me wonder
What's going on under the ground

Do you know?
Don't you wonder?
What's going on down under you.

We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

I'll light the fire

That you bought today

years ago
I come into this life
The song of a woman
And a man who lived in strife
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more

A different kind of poverty now upsets my soul
Night after sleepless night
I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away?
Is she gone?

Morning comes to sunrise
And I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty
And there's devils in my head
I embrace the many colored beast
I grow weary of the torment
Can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease

Know you got to run
Know you got to hide
Still there is a great life
Engrained deep within your eyes
Open up, open up
Baby let me in
You expect for me to love you
When you hate yourself my friend la la la ...

Everybody I love you
Everybody I do
(oh yes)
Though your heart is an answer
I need your love to get me through
(oh yea, I really do now)
When I tell you I love you
(when I tell you)
You can believe that it's true
(oh yes it is)

Everybody I love you
Everybody I do
(oh, yes I really do now

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all

I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well then suddenly we heard a siren
And everybody started to run
Jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cos you're gonna be spared
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all

Day after day alone on the hill The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him They can see that he's just a fool And he never seem to notice But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning round Well on the way, his head in a cloud The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud But nobody ever hears him Or the sound he appears to make And he never seems to notice But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning round Oh, round, round, round, round, round And nobody seems to like him they can tell what he wants to do And he never shows his feelings But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning round Oh, round, round, round, round, round And he never listen to them He knows that they're the fools But they don't like him The fool on the hill sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning round Oh, round, round, round, round, round oh

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't
matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think
it's
not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when
it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I
disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Penny lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go stop and say hello
On the corner is a banker with a motor car . The little children
laugh at hime behind his back and the banker never wears a
"MAC"in the pouring rain, very strange

* Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies.
I sit and meanwhile
Back in penny lane there is a fireman with an hour glass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen
He likes to keep his fire engine coean,it's a clean machine

* Repeat

Full of fish and finger pies in summer meanwhile
Back behind the shelter in the middle of a round about
The pretty nurses selling poppies from a tray
She is anyway

Penny lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trend
And then the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain
Very strange

* Repeat

There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back

* Repeat

There beheath the blue suburban skies
Penny lane...

Where are you going now my love?
Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness?
Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

Girl when I was on my own
Chasing you down
What was it made you run?
Trying your best just to get around.
The questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me

Prison Song
SUNG BY - Graham Nash -

One day your friend to me a sigh said I have to figure
Find something from a friend that say I have don't know
for protect to the name of the man that say you have to figure
So now I'm meeting you fell well but for much too alone

And here's a song to sing for every man in sigh
If he couldn't hear you sing it's no but go
There's not a rich man there who could pay his way
And by the freedom that so I priced before

(take in taxis small thing rest
then his sentence comes to rest
it's domino in a lover ask the choice's why)

Another friend said to a kiss I'm gonna have to figure
Selling something to the man - Yes, I did wrong
No one ,oh, be in the best stacked I'm gonna have to figure
So now I'm kissing you fell well but for much too alone

And here's a song to sing for every man in sigh
If he couldn't hear you sing it's no but go
There's not a rich man there who could pay his way
And by the freedom that so I priced before

(Sill)
Sweet silver angels over the sea
please come down flying low for me

One time I trusted a stranger
'cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticing me
though there was something wrong
When I turned he was gone

Blinding me his song remains reminding me
he's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

chorus

He wages war with the devil
a pistol by his side
And though he chases him out my window and
won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide
Fighting him
he lights a lamp inviting him
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

chorus

I hear the thunder come rumbling
the light never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer
and danger's in the wind
and either road's looking grim

Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you

Wings To Fly
By Giorgio Moroder & Tom Whitlock
Performed by Graham Nash
From the soundtrack a€?American Anthema€? (1986)

You open up your wings to fly
You turn to face the sky far away
You never ever say goodbye
You live your life baby

It seems that it's a dream come true
The reason's coming into view
Believe in what you always knew
The season's come and go when they're away

Wings to fly
Across the sky
Wings to fly
Always high
Wings to fly

You open up your heart and mind
By reaching for the sky far away
It really isn't hard to find
You're searching for your soul day by day

There really is no holding back
You've got to stay on the attack
And when the sky is turning black
You've got to learn to face another day

Wings to fly
Across the sky
Wings to fly
Always high
Wings to fly

I turned to see a new horizon
The only sky that my life sees is you
You'll always be my life denying
Within your eyes I see what I must do
Jump higher vaults with
Wings to fly

Wings to fly
Across the sky
Wings to fly
Always high
Wings to fly

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Woo!

I saw her head up to the table
With a tall walking big black cat
Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at"
When suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
I jumped down and across the table
When I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well, the DA was pumping my left hand
And then she was a-holding my right
Well, I told her "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared"

Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all

(Leslie / Day)
Can't take no more lies or cheating
I had took a long hard
Dragged out miserable life you see
Nothing means much to me

Stand up call out
Don't take nothing low down
It's much better
When you're making your own way
Your own say

Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey
Going along together
Taking our time in seeking our pleasure
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey

Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way
Won't we feel good that morning
Won't we feel good that day
Won't we feel good that morning
Won't we feel good that day

Stand up call out
Don't take nothing low down
It's much better
When you're making your own way
Your own say

Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey
Going along together
Taking our time in seeking our pleasure
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey

Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey

Quiet shadows plays in the evening
In the cold sea the sun went down
Bright stars on the blue water
In the hours of the night

All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law

The wind rests
The creek is like a mirror
And the sailor takes down the sails
Over the meadow
The mist is dancing
You can't believe it
But this is all yours

All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law

Break

Quiet shadows plays in the evening
In the cold sea the sun went down
Bright stars on the blue water
In the hours of the night

All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law

(Jennings)
Standing in the shadow
Of a Spanish lady
Second hand bargain
With a song so sad
And a rose in her hand
Was crying

Lonely rooms in back of bars
Bright lights and sitting out in the stars
There was room to write a poem

But the words don't come easy
They're hung on frozen lips standing there
While the world's anticipating love
And the words don't come easy
Lady laughs a laughing tear and says
All we really need today
Is the sun in our life
The sun in our life

Money was only mean to buy time
No money left over
Made the street to show that the door was open
Out in the silence of the angry crowd
Only the beggars crying aloud
Not a precious thing was spoken

But the words don't come easy
They're hung on frozen lips standing there
While the world's anticipating love
And the words don't come easy
Lady laughs a laughing tear and says
All we really need today
Is the sun in our life
The sun in our life

(Jennings / Watt-Roy)
I'm looking through at yesterday
All my life thrown away
Keep searching for the same old clue
How can I get to you

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

I know there's been a change in me
Ask me why I don't know
My friends no longer speak to me
Pass me by I don't know

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

I've made up my mind
On what I'm gonna do
This feeling inside
Making it all right, making it all right
Making it all right with me

Break

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

(Henley / O'Dell)
He came riding in on a sunrise
A hot west Texas day
A fancy man in a painted wagon
Some fancy things to say

Looks like you folks'll need some water
Well water is my game
For the small price of a hundred dollars
I bet you I can make it rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone start a fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain

They all just stood a staring trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzy Cooper said he was a lying cheat
She said you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed
For starting all these people dreaming thinking you can make it rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain

Oh Lizzy, a man's gotta have a dream
And if you can walk on the inside with me
I'll meet you in between
Come with me Lizzy
And the stars'll write your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you
Look yonder here comes the rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain

Good to see you again, Rosie
I know I've changed a lot since then
You're lookin' fine, babe

Three years that ain't long, Rosie
I still remember our song
When you were mine, babe

Times change, times change I know
But it sure moves slow
Down river when you're locked away

Hey why didn't you write, Rosie
I stayed awake most every night
Countin' my time babe

Oh no I ain't mad Rosie
I know you had to mind your dad
But just a line babe

Oh sure I remember then
we went off to school
Ain't that right
Well he ain't no fool

He's a good man Rosie
Hold him tight as you can
Don't ask me why babe

Yeah nice seein' you again Rosie
Me I got things to do
Well good-bye babe

Rosie down river

(Leslie / Day)
Got to stop from running
Got to make myself slow down
If I need some loving
Got to find some love around

I can't hold on
It's been so long
and I'd do anything
to find some love good love
If I slow down
if I take a look around
maybe I'll come across
some home sweet home

If I slow down
Yeah if I slow down
If I slow down
Yeah if I slow down

verse 2

verse 1

chorus

Young girls and porches are filling out
Tempers and torches are burning
Brown is the colour of town
living in thunder

Hair on my top lip now I'm a man
I so often hear and feel it
Nice paying the price for being kept under

Mama says don't hang around that front gate too long
Boys like you who stay too late are surely gonna go so wrong
But Mama there's safety in numbers
It's the first time I've ever felt strong
Delaware Taggett and the Outlaw Boys


Adding a laugh to the Broadway noise
Slipping your mind where your mind don't wanna go

Off-duty porters lay sleeping wives
On-duty daughters are finding
why just touching a boy gives a thrill like a shiver

Whispers and shadows are moving fast
No prizes given to people
last drowned in the past down on the river

chorus

(Sill)
Sweet silver angels over the sea
please come down flying low for me

One time I trusted a stranger
'cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticing me
though there was something wrong
When I turned he was gone

Blinding me his song remains reminding me
he's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

chorus

He wages war with the devil
a pistol by his side
And though he chases him out my window and
won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide
Fighting him
he lights a lamp inviting him
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

chorus

I hear the thunder come rumbling
the light never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer
and danger's in the wind
and either road's looking grim

Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker

(Jennings)
Take me home
Sailing on with Romany
To and fro on a icy morning
Feeling calm to have an old friend 'round
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down

Take me home
where saints and children laughing
Tell the Dutchman ships are passing
Feeling safe to reach the harbor sound

Feeling warm to see the wind blow down

Take me home
Leave the galley sailors talking
Leave the bridge and captain's walking
Feeling naked on the covered ground
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down

The wind blowed
down in the moonless light
the sea was dark
the breeze was light
Everyone's thoughts were their own
Caught by the ocean thief
The bow hit on a coral reef
Romany sank like a stone

chorus

verse 1

(Lynch / Hicks)

I'm gonna be blue in the morning
I'm gonna be blue in the morning
Soon as I saw the look in her eyes
should known it was over over

I'm gonna be blue in the morning
'Cause I can't take a warning
See a girl and fall in love
with just a pretty face so easy easy

God help me don't wanna be
don't wanna be a loser
loser no more
Please help me help me to see
help me to see the chooser
chooser for sure

verse 2

chorus x2

(Rush / Cullers)
If you know you're right
when the others are wrong
it's hard to sit and take it
They treat you like you've lost your senses
Call you troublemaker

I'm not trying to cause you trouble
I don't wanna fight
Someone's got to stand up sometime
and do what's right

Just have the courage of
the courage of your convictions

People tell you do what's right
and set and good example
Sometimes right means who to hate
Listen to the people
I'm not trying to mess your mind up
but it's plain to see
People pulling from both sides
it's agitating me

So have the courage of
the courage of your convictions

People teaming up on sides
hating one another
Know your heart before you join
a team to hurt your brother

If there's a way to lead us from this
like in troubled times
it won't be found through blood and hate
but through courageous minds

chorus

(Clarke / Sylvester)
Didn't believe in The Bible
Didn't believe the Good Book
Lord, Lord please help me, help me take a look
These chains that I'm wearing really ain't my style
Lord, Lord please help me, help me think awhile
I know that I did something wrong
I got into bad ways
Well the judge, yes he put me down, for five thousand days

Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do

The cell I am in is only six feet wide
And six feet to the roof
There's a window that's strung with only three bars
Singing me the truth
Fifty and seventy don't seem right
Seventy ain't my age
When I leave this place with a new face
It's to turn another a new page

Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do

Didn't believe in The Bible
Didn't believe the Good Book
Well now Lord, Lord please help me, help me take a look
These chains that I'm wearing well they really ain't my style
Well now Lord, Lord please help me, help me think awhile

Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I don't know what to do

The sun is overshadowed by the presence of the moon
Night time has fallen she'll be comin' home soon
Leave the door wide open, ah, so she won't need a key
Lock it behind you baby draw the blinds so no-one can see
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let don't let me down
Don't let don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground

Silence is golden, ah, for me there's just one choice
The music of your laughter, rippling of your voice
The freshness of the evergreen, ah, fades as if too shy
Can't compete with your beauty, couldn't if it tried
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let, don't let me down
Don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground

Let's build something to climb on
Making the show a live one
No need for make-up let's be real
Give all in what your giving
Making life worth living
Being alive's how you should feel
Oh and don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground

Don't want the sun to be shining
Raising his eyebrows at the moon
Saying I told you so she wouldn't show
Well don't speak too soon
I hear her footsteps walking on the outer floor
Well it could be, I don't know, I don't know for sure
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let, don't let me down
Don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground

Come on back, can't live without you
Come on back, (I need you, I need you, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I want you, I want you, I)can't live without you
Come on back, (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I love you, I love you, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I need you, I need you, I) can't live without you

I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
When I was needed (I wasn't there)
I was out on the road
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there)
I should have been right by her side
Like a good man ought to be
But this rock'n'roll music sure gotta hold on me

I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
When my shack was burning (I wasn't there)
I was out on the road playing with my rock'n'roll band (I wasn't there)
While someone else put out the fire
I was wailing my guitar
Somehow this rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me

Somewhere I know, I sold my soul
Sold it to the devil or the king of rock'n'roll
Once I found out, what the music was all about
Picked up my baggage
And I joined in a big rock show
I knew that I had to go

I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
There for my wedding (I wasn't there)
I was back on the road
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there)
But when I came off stage that night
I found her waiting patiently, good girl
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold
Rock'n'roll music sure got a hold
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep
No light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read

Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask?
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Lucy you're a floozy
You ain't choosy
You've been flashing those big blue eyes
At the other guys
Don't be surprised
If you don't end up with a
Baby cool it, don't over do it
Always have something left as your standby
Lucy baby keep me in mind

You're so reckless
A diamond necklace
Ain't no substitute for how you feel
Such a steal
Lucy baby let's make it real

Red light outa sight is what you're saying
You don't really think that's true
No help needed you're displaying
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

As the queen bee I'll make your honey
I'll even populate your hive
I've got a sting that ain't so funny
Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Can I try you
Let me buy you
Just a piece of my delight
For the night
You'll find it alright
Lucy baby keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Lucy baby, Lucy baby, Lucy baby, keep me in mind

Spread your wings, I'm all set
Trans Atlantic westbound jet
Heading out to JFK
I'll play my guitar along the way

It's the only thing I can do
Stick with me and we'll see it through
Make the most, without delay
I'm gone tomorrow but here today

Travel through the nation
In need of stimulation, Oh yeah
Travel through the nation
In search of situations, yeah

Boogaloo well walk on through
My prescription's good for you
Be my guest and fly with me
It's a way of life, a high for free

Travel through the nation
In need of stimulation, Oh yeah
Travel through the nation
In search of situations, yeah

Evening, I see the sun
Leaving today
Cool night, mellow light
Don't fade away

Your eyes, paradise
What do they say
Leaving, loving
Stay one more day

And after all the tears have fallen my way
You'd think that we could never feel the same
Love is strange
Pick up the pieces again

Long time, friend of mine
Words of farewell
Love is, the learning
I knew you well

And after all the tears have fallen my way
You'd think that we could never feel the same
Love is strange
Pick up the pieces again

Pick up the pieces

It's late, and the week-end's near
You could say I can't wait
Till the gang gets here
Eight, and the Angels are roaring
Shining those dips
Straight line for the strip

If I back out
Fake a black out
At my night on the chicken run
Need some moonshine
Doctor goodtime
Keeping my nerves in line
Down on the run

Cy, the pack leader's wild
Even preaches to ride
In a Brando style
Fast, two shadows are closing
Passing like knives
Short cut on our lives

If I back out
Fake a black out
At my night on the chicken run
Needs some moonshine
Doctor goodtime
Keeping my nerves in line
Down on the run

When the boys are called together
To hand me out a feather, I'm through
Sweating in my leather so I guess its now or never
Something I've gotta do, just gotta do
What I gotta do

It's late, and the week-end's near
You could say I can't wait
Till the gang gets here
Eight, and the Angels are roaring
Shining those dips
Straight line for the strip

Shining those dips
Straight line for the strip
Passing like knives
Short cut on our lives

Shining those dips
Straight line for the strip

Love makes the world go round and around
Love makes the world go round and around
Love makes you feel three feet off the ground
Love makes the world go round

You should know it's happened before
You should have known what was in store
You should know not to do it encore
You should have known before

You did it your way it never worked out
Mr Right turned out Mr Wrong
You won't change your ways because you believe
In love is where you belong

You did it your way it never worked out
Mr Right turned out Mr Wrong
You won't change your ways because you believe
In love is where you belong

Can't you see, love's thrown out of the door
Can't you see, no-one loves anymore
Can't you see, my world's on the floor
Without love can the world go round
And around, and around, and around, and around
Without love, without love, can the world go round, yeah

Big tall man standing in the street
Gun hanging by his side
Just one man that he'd like to meet
That's when I began to hide

I recognized him from the face of his son
The hate in his eye didn't lie
Oh what I did can't be undone
Borrowed time there's none to buy

Well I hid round the back of a derelict shack
Ain't looking for a mad showdown
But he was smart, he'd already checked
A week in advance I'd paid down

Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man
The job he had it didn't pay
He told all about what happened that night
There he is, that's the one's all he'd say

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
on my bad neighbours doors
crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
Let me in I gotta hide
Well everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying
No one to protect our town
Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
he's gonna shoot your sheriff down

Big tall man standing in the street
now a hand hovering waiting to slide
Drew out his gun it wasn't for fun
Let me in there's nowhere to hide

Well I made my play but it wasn't my day
I felt the ripping lead
That's when I knew my time was through
Rest in peace were the last words he said

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
on my bad neighbours doors
crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
Let me in I gotta hide
Well everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying
No one to protect our town
Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
he's gonna shoot your sheriff down

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
on my bad neighbours doors
crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
Let me in I gotta hide

I was jiving along in my big cadillac
saw a thumb going up, I said Driver go back
Played her a track from my latest LP
Getting bad vibes she hadn't recognized me

She said she didn't know me but my name's been in lights
giant size neons on the strip every night
The camera man did the best that he can
Still she said I don't know you I just can't understand

I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway

I was trying to be nice but I'm not into that
I usually make it without any chat

She was taking it easy, taking it slow
I said Come on baby, I'm ready to go

I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway

She said Drop me off here and to my surprise
you wouldn't believe it, it was Beverly Drive
Some sort of commotion, what's happening here
We've arrived at her premiere, I shouldn't be here

She's a star, yeah
She's a star, I didn't know it
She's a star anyway

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
Write on, even though there's no one listening to your songs
Write on
Shine on, get it together, let your light break through
Shine on, baby, shine on

Write on, sitting on your own, waiting for the phone
Come on, come on, come on
Write on, for your fame and fortune will follow you, coming on strong
coming on strong

Don't feel bad 'cos the radio ain't playing 'em
It won't be long til you're going out and slayin' 'em
Shine on
You're not the first, you won't be the last
to feel the frustration of a musical fast
Write on, baby, write on

Sing your rock and roll with a touch of soul
Ballads with feeling, send your audience reeling
Rock on, rock on
Find a man with a van, a back up band
who'll give you a hand on your one night stand
Rock on, baby, rock on
Give 'em your licks, getting off on their kicks
Swayin in motion to a rhythmic potion
Rock on, baby, rock on

Music freaks and all those hustlers
hangers on, trying to make a con
Rock on
Don't sign on the line til you know it's all fine
It's your life baby, you got to give it time
Rock on, baby, rock on

Going down to take a ride on the Rock Island Line
I'm gonna meet an old friend of mine
It's gonna be a fine ride if only I can hide
From the man who guards the freighting line
I've got two thousand miles to go where I want to be
Lady luck stay with me
I wanna be there
I gotta be there

Oh, sweet country calling, calling me its way
Come and bathe in cool clear waters, wash the city dirt away
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say
When I get back to you, I won't let you down
This time I'm gonna stay

I wanna hear, hear the bluegrass
I wanna breathe in the mountain air
I gotta take in all that moonshine
But most of all I wanna see a friend of mine

Last time I saw her she was waving me goodbye
Heading on down the line
She said Come on along, I decided to stay
Now I know I was wrong
That's why I'm playing with fate riding this freight
Lady luck please stay with me
I wanna be there
I gotta be there

Oh, sweet country calling, calling me its way
Come and bathe in cool clear waters, wash the city dirt away
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say
When I get back to you, I won't let you down
This time I'm gonna stay

Oh, sweet country calling, calling me its way
Come and bathe in cool clear waters, wash the city dirt away
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say
When I get back to you, I won't let you down
This time I'm gonna stay

Your first taste of love

Say what you want, think what you like
You won't persuade me
My flame will keep on burning I know it's not over

My eyes don't see, my ears don't hear
All those stories
Going in circles, circulating
That it's over

She gave to me, I gave to her
A token of our love
On the understanding that we'd give them back
As a message that we're through

I still got mine and I ain't go hers
That's how I know for sure
No need to say no more
I don't wanna hear no more

Your move was a loser and she won't forget
How you used her
Oh, I know she'll refuse you
You're a two-timing loser
And I won't move over

She gave to me, I gave to her
A token of our love
On the understanding that we'd give them back
As a message that we're through

I still got mine and I ain't go hers
That's how I know for sure
No need to say no more
I don't wanna hear no more

Say what you want and think what you like
You won't persuade me
My flame keeps on burning and I won't move over

My eyes don't see, my ears don't hear

Oh, I know she'll refuse you
You're a two-timing loser

Down down down town, east side of the river
Bowery boys are living off the street
There stands a stranger all dressed in black
He's looking for someone - he's gonna knife 'em in the back
Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA
Sneaky Pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos
He's got something to hide

Danger, there's a stranger
Intruding in your own backyard
But stranger, there's a danger
Don't come across nobody hard

So tough mixing it rough down in Harlem
There's no honky boys for miles around
But there's that stranger all dressed in white
He's looking for someone
He's gonna show 'em the light, yeah
He's gonna show 'em the light, oh yeah

Don't feel safe using the face of Fifth Avenue
Pin stripe suits ain't no disguise if you're not a man that's true
Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA
Sneaky Pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos
He's got something to hide

Danger, there's a stranger
Intruding in your own backyard
But stranger, there's a danger
Don't come across nobody hard

Keep away from that hard-looking woman
Don't be fooled by her crocodile smile
She uses charm like a witch casting bad spells
You can't see what I can see for miles

I know she'll leave you with no self-respect
Builds you up only to destroy you
It'll happen at a time you won't expect
Don't let her leave you 'reject'

Sly girl, good timer, she's just a social climber
She bites
Entice, so nice, but you have to pay the price
She bites

She'll take away everything that you've got
leaving you cold when you think things are hot
Bad kind, no good, making up her own rules
Be on your guard, boy, if she loses her cool

Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island
Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again
The distant past so far behind and I hope there hasn't been many changes
'cos I haven't seen my island for such a long time

Oh oh oh oh, I want to breathe the air that's free
Oh oh oh oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet
And the sun on my face, yeah
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh

Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones
But sent a message through from my first port of call
I was pressed into time by the men from the line
They didn't tell me where I was going
And I haven't seen my island in such a long time

Oh oh oh oh, I've sailed upon the seven seas
Oh oh oh oh, you wouldn't believe the things I've seen
When I get home I'll tell you
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh

Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones
But sent a message through from my first port of call
I was pressed into time by the men from the line
They didn't tell me where I was going
And I haven't seen my island in such a long time

Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island
Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again
The distant past so far behind and I hope there hasn't been many changes
'cos I haven't seen my island for such a long time

Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh

Ever since that first night
When I gave my love to you
Everything seemed so right
You are my sunlight shining through

And I tried so not to let it show
Yet it seems sad because I know

No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
There's always goodbye

You smile softly as you leave my bed
And I tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
But there's nothing to be said

And if you said you want to sing
I know you'd soon be on your way

No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
There's always goodbye

So here we stand, you and I
You are too kind and I'm too shy
To say what we really mean

So we make life a masquerade
Never showing all, only the parts we played

No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
There's always goodbye

No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
There's always goodbye
There's always goodbye

No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
There's always goodbye
There's always goodbye

I've seen the writing on the wall
What's the answer to it all
My eyes are open
No need to stall
I've seen the writing on the wall

How I loved you
When I first saw you
The transformation was there to see
I gave my heart, my body and soul
When I first saw you
Oh, how I loved you

Games, games, games - games people playin'
There's always a loser
This time it's me
Oh how I love my inspiration
Such a sad story
The game we played

How could sweet love
Turn to sour love
How could I've lied
One lie too many
Why should we be separated
You know that I still want you
You know that I still want you

Seen the writing on the wall
What's the answer to it all
My eyes are open No need to stall
Seen the writing on the wall

Another day has passed away
Another day without you
Here comes another lonely night
One more broken promise gone
One more teardrop from your eye
I suppose that I'll survive

What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do

To find the words it's hard to say
You don't wanna hold him
Or leave him all alone
You've been together for so long
Now the feeling's gone
You can't see what's right or wrong

What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do

I know it's hard to tell him
You wanna go
It shouldn't take this long
To let him know
I know I feel it's gonna be my time
There's still the question
When will you be mine

What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do

Another day has passed away
Another day without you
Here comes another lonely night
One more broken promise gone
One more teardrop from your eye
I suppose that I'll survive

What am I gonna do

Always there when I want you
I know you'll answer my call
We've got our own situations
We don't get into small talk

Let it pour
Whoa oh, let it pour
Whoa oh

Fate brought us together
We knew we'd both fall
Shouldn't really have happened
It caught us on the rebound, baby

Let it pour
Whoa oh, let it pour
Whoa oh

It always rains when I see you
But we weather the storm
We get on with the action
So bring on the black clouds, baby

Let it pour
Whoa oh, let it pour
Whoa oh

You belong to somebody
You ain't mine I ain't yours
It doesn't really matter
So let's close the door

It's never easy to leave you
Don't like you lockin' the door
So raise your glass to the next time
Though my cup's overflowing baby

Baby, let it pour
Whoa oh, let it pour

Jimmy's outside with his motor engine hummin'
Sent me along to see if you were comin'
Out onto the highway gonna break the city limits
Jimmy's gettin' ready gonna put his foot in it
Soft shoe Louie drinkin' with his floozy Sue
Got the invitation the burn out's due

I'd be a rebel when I'm good and ready
Headin' for the bar
Tell Jimmy to cool it
But not to go too far

Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine

Louie and Jimmy didn't know about the plan
Cops out on the highway
Gonna take the job at hand
Been hidin' out for Louie gonna get him canned
Gonna catch him in the action
He's gonna wanna make a stand

Jimmy's impatient wants to burn on rubber
He's gotta wait for Louie
Cause there ain't no other
The undisputed king of the road said "Jimmy, I'm ready You better shift your load"

Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
C'mon and get it, boy

Louie and Jimmy's out to have a fight
Shakin' hands with the man below
Stokin' out the flames
Flames burnin' higher
One of them has gotta go
One of them has gotta go

Highway nine and they're starting to roll
Jimmy's hearts thumpin'
Blood runnin' cold
Louie looks over and gives a sly smile
Says look in your mirror boy
Cops are behind
Get a move on Jimmy
You're fallin' for the trap
There's only one winner
The loser takes the rap
Well, bye bye Jimmy,
Don't wait for me inside
I'm goin' back to floozy Sue
And thanks for the ride

Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
She walked into the room just like a dream
I was spellbound into silence
Do you know the way it feels
The rock'n'roll changed to a symphony
Appearing just like magic
But I knew that she was real

Then something deep inside of me
said go ahead and try
Ain't no use in holdin back
Don't kiss the chance goodbye

Hello to romance
Is it goodbye to those one night stands
Where you get what you want
Such a crazy steal
Hello to romance
Hello to romance

I walked across the room to say hello
She raised her head and smiled at me
I knew which way to go
Once she spoke sweet music filled my ears
For hours and hours and hours we talked
Time seemed to disappear

verse 2

chorus

When you see the chance to win romance
act before it slips away
Don't wait until tomorrow
To hear yourself say
I should've done it yesterday
Should've done it yesterday

Love is the sweetest amnesty
Floats like a cloud between the sky and sea
I'll give it to you
Could you please give it to me

Love is the sweetest amnesty
Given by the powers
Then let us be
I'll give it to you
Could you please give it to me
'Cos I need you

We can talk
We can see
If we disagree we do it honestly
Let our lovin' be
The sweetest amnesty

Between you and me
There's bound to be
Some conscientious objection
Our spirits dressed in mystery
Speak solely through affection

Between you and me
There's bound to be
Some conscientious objection
Our spirits dressed in mystery
Speak solely through affection

Love is the sweetest amnesty
Floats like a cloud between the sky and sea
I'll give it to you
Could you please give it to me
'Cos I need you (need you)

We can talk
We can see
If we disagree we do it honestly
Let our lovin' be
The sweetest amnesty

Let our lovin' be
The sweetest amnesty

Gonna fade my jeans in the deep blue sea
Wash my cares away
Feelin' the breeze going through the trees
Just the music of the day

Oh, going to Caracas
Beautiful town when the lights go down
Dance the night away
Drinkin' the wines
Make me feel fine
That's what the people say

Oh oh Caracas

Come to the show
And let yourself go
There's magic in the air
Come a long way to make your day
Gonna show you that we care

Oh oh going to Caracas
Oh I'm going to Caracas

Almost there, got my ticket, paid my fare
Almost there, stop us if you dare

Oh oh

Almost there, got my ticket, paid my fare
Almost there, yeah stop us if you dare

Gonna fade my jeans in the deep blue sea
Wash my cares away
Feelin' the breeze going through the trees
Just the music of the day

Oh oh going to Caracas
Oh oh going to Caracas

(Danoff / Harris)
I don't wanna hear your love song
I got on this aeroplane just to fly
and I know there's life below me
but all that you can show me
is the prairie and the sky

And I don't wanna hear a sad story
Full of heartbreak and desire
the last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness
and the canyon was on fire

And I stood on the mountain
in the night and I watched it burn
I watched it burn, I watched it burn

I would rock my soul
In the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life
In his saving grace
I would walk all the way
from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see
I could see your face

Well, you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowin
I'll survive
I've come to listen for the sound
of the trucks as they go down
Out on ninety-five
And pretend that it's the ocean
Comin down to wash me clean
to wash me clean
Baby do ya know what I mean

chorus x3

Is that the clown service I'm callin'
I've made a fool of myself again
There's a hole in my pocket
A patch on my pants
My shoes let in water
I'm feeling you're here

Look up the smile service operator
I've got some frown lines that need to be read
I look in the mirror
I sigh all the time
The face that I see
I know it ain't mine

Ooh we lady
If I had my baby
I wouldn't be wastin' your time
Ooh we lady,
If I had my baby
I wouldn't be blockin', blockin' your line

Is that the love service
I'm callin' come on over mend my broken heart
Was it so silly, was Cupid so stupid
Or maybe it wasn't to be that way at all

Is that the clown service I'm callin'
I've made a fool of myself again
There's a hole in my pocket
A patch on my pants
My shoes let in water
I'm feeling you're here

Look up the smile service operator
I've got some frown lines that need to be read
I look in the mirror
I sigh all the time
The face that I see
I know it ain't mine

I look in the mirror
I sigh all the time
The face that I see I know it ain't mine
Was it so silly, was Cupid so stupid
Or maybe it wasn't to be that way at all

If we speak of lovin'
Will it come from our hearts
Do we want this night of love to last forever
Or do we just part

Listen to yourself
Are you sure that's what you wanna say
We know that things sound different
In the cold light of day
Don't get dizzy and lose our heads
On the merry go round
I don't wanna be taken for a ride
Keep both feet on the ground

When we wake up in the morning
Will there be anyone there
Whoever is the first one to rise
Will be the one who cares

So, let's close our eyes and go to sleep
With a thought for the day
Waiting for tomorrow
Just to see if there's truth in what they say
Let's say goodnight
You know goodbye is a hard word to say
Hold me close
We've reached the end
So let's drift on away
With a thought for today

I'm hopin', you're wishin'
I'll stay by your side
I'm wishin', you're hopin'
That a flame doesn't die

And if we speak of lovin'
Will it come from our hearts
Do we want this night of love to last forever
Or do we just part

So, let's close our eyes and go to sleep
With a thought for today
Waiting for tomorrow
Just to see if there's truth in what they say
Let's say goodnight
You know goodbye is a hard word to say
Hold me close
We've reached the end
So let's drift on away
Drift on away
Drift on away
Drift on away

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry, Suzanne, believe me, I was wrong
And I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry, Suzanne, for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

I could never ever justify
All the tears I made you cry
But I do regret it, my Suzanne
You gotta believe me

I was lookin' 'round for someone new
What a foolish thing to do
All the time I knew it
Heaven knows what made me do it, girl

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry, Suzanne, believe me, I was wrong
And I knew I was all along, all along

I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

If you would only take me back again
Things would be so different then
What I wouldn't give for
One more chance to live for you, Suzanne

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry, Suzanne, believe me, I was wrong
And I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you more than ever
I'm sorry, Suzanne, for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

Hey, Carrie Anne
Hey, Carrie Anne

When we were at school, our games were simple
I played the janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing?

Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?

You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?

Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?

You're so, so like a woman to me (So like a woman to me)
So, so like a woman to me (So, so like a woman to me)

Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?

People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over, you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying

Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne
What's your game now, can anybody play?

Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne

Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye

Feel so bad, baby Oh, it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby

You got me going I need you, baby
I can't let go, and I want you, baby
I gotta have you, you know, I can't let go

Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me, baby, baby

chorus

Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on

chorus x2

I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go

Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
'Til you set me free

Now I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I used to think I was livin'
Baby, I was wrong
No I never knew a thing about livin'
'Til you came along

Now I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Now I can breathe, I can see, I can touch, I can feel
I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

If I needed someone to love
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone

If I had some more time to spend
Then I'd guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone

Had you come some other day then
It might not have been like this
Can't you see how I'm too much in love?

Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone

If I had some more time to spend
Then I'd guess I'd be with you my friend
If I needed someone

Had you come some other day then
It might not have been like this
Can't you see how I'm too much in love?

Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
If I needed someone

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer, we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every morning, I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop, and she would show me what she bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun, the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every morning, I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop, and she would show me what she bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer, we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older
So much older than you

You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you
You should have departed before he got started
Now you've been burned just like I said you would

Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial too
You must read in-between the lines
A message you will see
If you use your mind, you'll find
I want you back with me

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older
So much older than you
So much older than you
So much older than you

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

We take walks in storms on rainy nights
When it's cold I hold you close to me
When we dine you help me choose the wine
It's these things that mean so much to me

Ain't this a peculiar situation
We're lovers but we don't make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, that's all right

I don't think your father is too rich
And I know your mother has good taste
And it's not because you're beautiful
When you're busy you find time for me

Ain't this a peculiar situation
We're lovers but we don't make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, that's all right

But when these things mean so much to us
Well, that's all right

You do well at things that interest you
When asked out you never turn away
If you're wrong you don't mind saying so
Not too proud to phone me when you're down

Ain't this a peculiar situation
We're lovers but we don't make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, that's all right

Ain't this a peculiar situation
Ain't this a peculiar situation
Ain't this a peculiar situation

And every time I get to thinkin'
With every thought of you, I wanna shout aloud
And then I think about the love I had inside me
How you brought what's inside out

So now love's made it to the outside
I wanna tell the world of everything I've found
Somehow your love released a spring wound up inside me
You've turned my living upside-down

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?

Tell me where you learned the magic
The spell you used the day you made me fall
Baby, now I know that love is no illusion
I'm upside-down but ten feet tall

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?

On and on I drifted with the tide
I didn't know that love could move me so
You filled my life with love and much more besides
And you showed me which way to go

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels?
Is it cloudy is it bright?
Is it day or is it night?
Am I wrong or am I right?
And is it real?

Hey Willy your mother calls you Billy
your father calls you silly
but you really are a pretty one

Hey baby you're dressing like a lady
The fellows call you Sadie
but you really are a pretty one

You don't care
what they say about your hair
'Cause the bad man's smiling
every time he sees you comin' yeah

Willy is the singer in a rock'n'roll band
Every time he shows his face
put away your

Oh yeah Willy's gonna show them now
No no no no Willy's gonna go somehow


My name's Willy gonna turn on the lights
playing rock'n'roll music to early early night
Can't stop dancing to the rhythm in your feet
Listen to the drummer Yeah listen to the beat

Hey Willy your mother calls you Billy

chorus

I'm tired of foolin' around
I'm trying hard but I'm no Clark Gable
There's something I wanna say
Here are my cards on the table

The woman I love has eyes of blue
A face like heaven and a body like you
The woman I love is standing next to me

These words don't come easily
These words are a stranger in my town
But I am what I wanna be
Forget the high-brow here's the low-down

chorus x2


It's funny how it never seems
To be the time or place
I can tell it to the world
But I can't tell it to your face

I got a secret I don't want anymore
I'd tell you about it but I'm too damn yellow
What does it matter if you walk out that door
What's to lose baby What the hell

chorus x2

The woman I love is standing next to me

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
Write on, even though there's no one listening to your songs
Write on
Shine on, get it together, let your light break through
Shine on, baby, shine on

Write on, sitting on your own, waiting for the phone
Come on, come on, come on
Write on, for your fame and fortune will follow you, coming on strong
coming on strong

Don't feel bad 'cos the radio ain't playing 'em
It won't be long til you're going out and slayin' 'em
Shine on
You're not the first, you won't be the last
to feel the frustration of a musical fast
Write on, baby, write on

Sing your rock and roll with a touch of soul
Ballads with feeling, send your audience reeling
Rock on, rock on
Find a man with a van, a back up band
who'll give you a hand on your one night stand
Rock on, baby, rock on
Give 'em your licks, getting off on their kicks
Swayin in motion to a rhythmic potion
Rock on, baby, rock on

Music freaks and all those hustlers
hangers on, trying to make a con
Rock on
Don't sign on the line til you know it's all fine
It's your life baby, you got to give it time
Rock on, baby, rock on

Shook my head out of dreams
Reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
but I've got no notion of moving from where I am

Though my legs won't move
I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf an article labeled
waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found

I'm down No one to hear me calling
I'm down No one to see me falling
I'm down

Had my ways
with days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn't realise

When you're used to one thing
it's hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
well she ain't your mother
How do you cope
with a thing like that

chorus

I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
someone I should know

I'm down
I'm down

To the folks who brought me up
I'm not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
they thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
to be the last one to know

Maybe someone's out there
looking for me
Left on their own
couldn't afford to clothe me
And I I don't even know my real name

chorus

I'm down
I'm down
I'm down

(Montgomery / Petty)
Heartbeat, why do you miss
when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why does your love kiss
stay in my memory?

Pittery-Pat.
I know that new love thrills me.
I know that true love will be.

Heartbeat, why do you miss
when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why do you skip
when my baby's lips meet mine?

Heartbeat, why do you flip
then give me a skip each time?

Pittery-Pat.
Sing to me love's story
Bring to me love's glory.

verse 1

verse 7

verse 1 ...

I keep on thinkin about the things that make me cry
I keep on thinkin about the things that make me die
but everythin is sunshine when you hold my hand

If everybody knew you the way I do
people wouldn't wear frowns the way they do
'Cos everything is sunshine when you hold my hand

Oh no how could it be
You effect me
Just by holding my hand
by holding my hand


(repeat)

verse 2

If everybody knew you the way I do
people wouldn't wear frowns the way they do
'Cos everything is sunshine
Everything is sunshine
Everything is sunshine

Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah

Just one look
And I felt so I, I, I'm in love
With you, oh, oh

I found out
How good it feels
To have your love, oh, oh

Say you will
Will be mine
Forever and always, oh, oh

Just one look
And I knew
That you were my only one, oh-oh-whoa

I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, but I'm gonna keep on scheming

Without you, I'm nothin', oh, oh

Just one look
And I know
I'll get you some day, oh-oh-whoa

I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, but I'm gonna keep on scheming

Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah

Here I go again
Watch me now 'cause
Here I go again

I've been hurt so much before
I told myself, yes I did
No more, no more won't get hurt any more

There I was all by myself
Doing all right
Until I saw you last night

And then I knew that
Here I go again
I can't help it
Here I go again

Makin' the same mistakes
Headin' for more heartaches
What can I do when there's nothing I can do?
I looked in your eyes and I knew that I was through

What's the use
I'll just give in
Try as I may, and I do
I'll never win, never win, baby I'll never win

Now you're here, so close to me
I can't resist you
And I knew when I kissed you

I'm gonna say now
Here I go again
Watch me now 'cause
Here I go again

Falling in love, in love
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love

Davis-Mac

When nothin goes your way
Your heart begins to pay
However hard you try the problems seem endless

It's your own bed you make
Not gonna go away
You just break down and cry must be a way out of this

No use feelin sorry for yourself

Your'e so damn beautiful tonight
So how can I make you love me

Well its six am, I'm awake again
And I can't get you out of my head
You wore your dress so tight
And you danced all night
You took my heart and left me for dead
But I don't even know your name
'Cos you didn't give that much away
Will I ever feel the same again
Now I'm caught up in the games you play

You're so damn beautiful tonight
How Can I make you love me
I'm so blinded by you're light
How can I make you see
That I would walk a thousand miles to
Find my way to you
You're so damn beautiful
And I want to make you mine

I thought I saw you're face
In a crowded place
But it was just a shadow of you
Now I'm all alone waiting by the phone
I'm hoping that my message got through
But I didn't even ask your name
Even though we danced the night away
Suddenly you left without a trace
Before I had the chance to say

You're so damn beautiful tonight
How can I make you love me
I'm so blinded by you're light
How can I make you see
That I would walk a thousand miles to
Find my way to you
You're so damn beautiful
And I want to make you mine

But I don't even know your name
'Cos you didn't give that much away
Will I ever feel the same again
Now I'm caught up in the games you play

You're so damn beautiful tonight
How can I make you love me
I'm so blinded by you're light
How can I make you see
That I would walk a thousand miles to
Find my way to you
You're so damn beautiful
And I want to make you mine

Make you see

I just want to make you love me

So damn beautiful

I don't know your name

So damn beautiful

You drive me crazy

So damn beautiful

Did you lie, when you said you'd always be there for me
Did you care, when I said I'd walk out the door
Now is it me, or are things not how they used to be
'Cos deep in side, I'm feeling so unsure
Now I could run away and hide
But I'm still here by your side

But every time I try to say goodbye, you find a way to make me change my mind
Tell me how can I be sure your love is strong
I don't want to make the same mistake, there's only so much pain a heart can take
But every time I tell myself I can't go on, you prove me wrong

When you dream, am I still the one in your fantasy
When we touch, does it feel the same as before
'Cos all I know is I can't give up so easily
There are times when I'm feeling insecure
Now I could run away tonight
But I'm still here by your side

But every time I try to say goodbye, you find a way to make me change my mind
Tell me how can I be sure your love is strong
I don't want to make the same mistake, there is only so much pain a heart can take
But every time I tell myself I can't go on, you prove me wrong

Prove me wrong, prove me wrong,
Prove me wrong, prove me wrong

Now I could run away tonight
But I'm still here by your side

Every time I try to say goodbye, you find a way to make me change my mind
Tell me how can I be sure your love is strong
I don't want to make the same mistakes, there is only so much pain a heart can take
But every time I tell myself I can't go on, you prove me wrong

Prove me wrong

You know I can't go on

You know I can't go on

You prove me wrong

How can I tell myself, you prove me wrong

Do anything you want
But never find the heart to leave me
Cos I need you too much
So play your game but don't desert me
You're being hurt, undone
True lovin baby please believe me

Don't be afraid to trust me
I wouldn't trade you for the world
And if you feel you've gotta test me
Before you'll be my girl

Well you can take me, you can break me
But you can't make me (kill my love)
Cos that's the only thing I won't do for you

Cos I say too much
I am rehearsed so please forgive me
Well I can't help but touch
For please so keep inside you in me
I threw away my crutch
I'm not a boy you dare to see me

Don't be afraid to try me
C'mon and give a guy a whirl
And if you feel you've gotta test me
Before you'll be my girl

Well you can take me, you can break me
But you can't make me (kill my love)
Cos that's the only thing I won't do for you

I was makin lotta time o' mine
So now you take me to the other side
I wanna get somewhere inside your world
So come on away girl
