Would you believe in what I do When the things that I make are all for you' And in a while I'll come to you Showing showing why what I think will all come true Well I'm sure I'll love you all my life And in the morning too Everything you have is out of sight But baby I can see through you And in a while I'll come to you Showing showing why what I think will all come true Would, would you believe in what I do When the things that I make are all for you' |

Goodbye old friend
Off with Saint Serene Out on flight nineteen I wish you well If what you say is true And there's another state We'll meet again some day As we wander through You found a way To make yourself be heard Seems like the time had come To leave the people's world Goodbye old friend Off with Saint Serene Out on flight nineteen I wish you well And somewhere Far on a red horizon Your flame Lightens a darkened mind And somehow It doesn't seem so surprising 'Cos the truth Was right there before your eyes I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well |

Mayday - cut down to size again
What then - when less is more my friend? all change - and let me start again Disguise - It??s all too weird to explain Why I - I'll always call your name Perdu with you - I could be anything That I want to be... or sting Whirl wind - wild fire, driving rain Wheelspin - bowl me over hurricane Whirl wind - Crack your cheeks and blow Me far, so far, how far is shangri-la from here And is it this way? There she blows - tear me down tornado Whirlpool - drag me to the deeps below Whirlwind - will a wild cat strike me tame Earthquake - shake me to my feet again as cross words go You leave - a fatal clue I fear This case is closed - Elementally, my dear.... Beware whirl wind whirl whirl wind |

Along the wing you see the search-light beam Down below a trace of free-way stream A field of precious stones And you'll be next tonight Heading for touch-down Looking for a runway light From in the sky The citys at its best Down the hills to reach ocean's rest And as you watch the lights capes Relax and dream This is the future This is tomorrow's scheme We're coming in The runway flashes past This is it Now we're here at last We've tried to make this crossing So many times before See the people walking through heaven's door We're finally here It looks just fine Let's stroll the streets Side-walk sign Stand and wait And watch the cars As they smoke on Go by so fast They look just fine We'll cross at last The head lights flicker in our faces Try to eat synthetic meat Yours tastes just fine Same as mine If you complain It happens here Do what you say You'll be tonight's career I'll guarantee Hot compeny The red light flickers in their faces Roll up your sleeve Pass it round It's what you seek Don't feel down It's just fine To be with you Your place or mine I'll show you what to do And in the night You'll come on through Walking through heaven's door This is our dream Fulfilled at iast Now is the theme Forget the past Walking through heaven's door |

All signed and sealed, I´ll take it To Robert E. Lee I´ll show it I hope and pray he don´t blow it ´cause We´ve been around a long time just try try try tryin´ to Make the big time... Take me on a roller coaster Take me for an airplane ride Take me for a six days wonder but don´t you Don´t you throw my pride aside besides What´s real and make believe Baby Jane´s in Acapulco We are flyin´ down to Rio Throw me a line I´m sinking fast Clutching at straws can´t make it Havana sound we´re trying hard edge the hipster jiving Last picture shows down the drive-in You´re so sheer you´re so chic Teenage rebel of the week Flavours of the mountain steamline Midnight blue casino floors Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise Open up exclusive doors oh wow! Just like flamingos look the same So me and you, just we two got to search for something new Far beyond the pale horizon Some place near the desert strand Where my Studebaker takes me That´s where I´ll make my stand but wait Can´t you see that Holzer mane? What´s her name Virginia Plain |

And I think of nothing But living in darkness And the diamond lady Well, she's not telling I don't even know here name It's amazing Times have changed In days of old Imagination'd leave you standing Out in the cold Dancing city Now you're talking But where's your soul-you've a thousand faces I'll never know There are complications And compensations If you know the game Agitated in Xenon nightly I'll take you home again Travel way downtown In search of nothing But the sky at night And the diamond lady Well, she's not talking But that's all right So I turn the pages And tell the story >From town to town People tell me Be determined Poor country boy Too much luck Means too much trouble Much time alone But arm in arm With my seaside diamond I'll soon be home |

Here - nothing grows But crosses They - know not what they do You - your forgiveness Falls as dew Nailed upon a wooden frame Twisted yet unbroken Open mounted a silent choir Understood, unspoken Never was there heard a sound Until the heavens opened Now the tide is turning To other-wordly yearning Through the sun´s eclipse seems final Surely he will rise again |

The sky is dark
The wind is cold The night is young Before it´s old and grey We will know The trill of it all The time has come It´s getting late It´s now or never Don´t hesitate or stall When I call Don´t spoil The thrill of it all And before you go to sleep at night Preying shadows - do they ask you why? And in the morning through the afternoon Do you wonder where you´re going to? Every word I use Each crumpled page Strange ideas Mature with age Like leaves When autumn falls Turn gold Then they hit the ground Every time I hear The latest sound It´s pure whiskey Reeling round and around My brain Oh and all o´ that jive It´s driving me wild - The dizzy spin I´m in Everywhere I look I see your face I hear your name It´s all over the place Hey girl Though you´ve gone Still I recall The trill of it all You might as well know what is right for you And make the most of what you like to do For all the pleasure that´s surrounding you Should compensate for all you´re going through So if you´re feeling fraught With mental strain Too much thinking´s got you down again Well let your senses skip Stay hip Keep cool To the thrill of it all When you try too much You lose control Pressure rises And so I´m told Something's got the give Oy Veh High life ecstasy You might as well live I can´t see I can´t speak I couldn't take more than another week Without you - oh no So I will drink my fill Till the trill is you Oh the thrill of it all Oh the thrill of it all No I won´t forget The thrill of it all No no no no no no no.... |

I dreamed last night about your face Your star shone all night Over the moon it shone brighter Star shining so bright You were so pure not for this world So gentle and light How could I hear their stories' They told me not right Too many times beautiful Too many times sad Too many times wonderful Too bad [Spoken:] "But when the party was over, and all was quiet and still, We walked together in moonlight and looked down over the calm lake, Hand in hand, the stars in our eyes." So in my dream you still loved me Gave time reason last night But this was only life's story Made simple that's right |

On the meadow fire And feel the warmth Of love surrounding us And in the morning When we see the robin fly We'll look up to the Ever changing sky 'Cos I am only waiting For the day When peace will come our way And happiness will be the start Of whatever is to be Or not to be I know I know it's not a dream I know That's all I know Let's try and put the past Behind us from now on And climb a ladder to the stars Let's plant the seeds of love And sit and watch them grow Till the summer's bloom Reflected in our eyes 'Cos I am only waiting For the day When peace will come our way And up on cloud nine will be the start Of whatever is to be Or not to be I know I know it's not a dream I know That's all I know Here We Go again On the wide and rolling, open, Country road For so long We've been on our way Up the green and velvet downs To where We belong 'Cos I am only waiting for the day When peace will come our way And up on cloud nine Will be the start Of whatever is to be Or not to be I know I know It's not a dream I know That's all I know That's all I know That's all I know Whatever will be will be That's all I know Que sera sera |

Warm heart we spin slowly from view Why are you sad - do you disapprove? How weve wasted our time Sunset - end of my day - my decline Postscript you trace colours the sky Red-letter light fades, is filed away Sunburst fingers you raise One last sigh of farewell - goodbye |

Darkness falls Around your window pane A light still burns But just a smouldering flame Is it the end of another affair An open engagement with gloom Or will you be smiling When the sun conjures up A broken spell au clair de lune' Silhouette As you draw the shade Cloak of night You know it's tailor-made G-Plan gymnastics By an everglow fire Could never mean the same As summer enchantment By an old mill steam From courtly love to costly game Maybe I'm wrong for seeming Ungrateful, unforgiving Oh how it hurts now you're finally leaving I couldn't take anymore ...... Now's the time! Let's hide away Sacred hours Saved from yesterday Boo-hoo willows weep around you still Mirror reflections of dew But waterfall pages of an open book Could shower new horizons soon Call the tune Will you swoon As I croon Your serenade |

Surely you cannot be leading me on?
Well if that's so, however can I love again? How could I believe again? How can I hold on? Sentimental fool Knowing that fate is cruel, You ought to forget it. Yes, I know it's true, I've seen what love can do, But I don't regret it. Oh, you silly thing-- Don't you see what's happening? You're better without it. No, that's not the case-- If you were in my place, You never would doubt it. Sentimental fool Who broke the golden rule, You couldn't resist it. Though it's all in vain, I'd do it all again Just to relive a minute. A woman in love Can make you feel good-- You know what you're living for. She'll give you so much And keep you in touch With all that's worth living for. Oh once she gets in Through thick and through thin She'll show you what living's for. The rhythm of love It must go on Can't stop. The beat of your heart Is like a drum Will it stop? |

I've been thinking now for a long time How to go my own separate way It's a shame to think about yesterday, It's a shame Now that we are lonely Life seems to get hard Alone what a word - lonely Alone it makes me cry Thought-train set in motion Wheels in and around Express our emotion Tracks up, then it cracks down We've been running round in our present state Hoping help would come from above But even angels there make the same mistakes In love |

there's that melody again
burning through my head it does me in turns me right around to my old friend wonder how you've changed, are you still running wild - like you do when all your dreams come true happy days you pretend that your love will never end there's that melody again where it's coming from I must have been drifting out of time, now I'm in underneath you'll find I'm just the same running wild - like you do when all your dreams fall through I can always pretend that I'll fall in love again running wild - like we do if only dreams came true I could even pretend that I'll fall in love again |

Silence
Is deafening And I feel The wheel needs To turn again Sense Makes no sense at all And I see My world's Up side down And nothing Seems to chime Then the clock strikes nine But it's not on time The sun is shining But my weather's not fine Cars are moving But their wheels Are not turning Everything's At odds I need Revolution My shadow's Moving ahead of me Faster than I can go Down Eschers stairs ...I'm on the run I can hardly breathe Then the clock strikes nine But it's not on time The sun is shining But my weather's not fine Cars are moving But their wheels are not turning Everything's At odds I need A revolution Then the clock strikes nine But it's not on time The sun is shining But my weather's not fine Cars are moving But their wheels are not turning Everything's At odds I need A revolution |

Want to know a secret, most people are that bad
Compassion leads to many lies and trying to apply it will just drive you mad It's only destiny calling with the usual show Get out while you've got time, make up your heart and find the kind of folk who really love. You want to know how to tell them apart You want to know how to feel in your heart Too bad for you that they don't do a five day course in caring you could play the part You're still searching for the ones who were near You're still itching for that great panacea But first you got to be alone and think what kept your friends contented all those years. Something about their eyes I thought you couid tell by now Remote control, off and jump now Remote control, pull out the wires Remote control, off and jump now Remote control, pull out the wires.

Try on your love
Like a new dress The fit and the cut Your friends to impress Try on your smile - Square on your face Showing affection Should be no disgrace Try out your God Hope He will send Kindness from strangers On whom you depend Try on His coat A mantle most fine Myriad colours His harmony-thine 'Believe in me' Once seemed a good line Now belief in Jesus Is faith more sublime Head in the clouds But I can't see the Lord Short of perfection I'll try to be good I'll stand at His gate I'll wait for His sign Then I'll walk in His garden When it's my time Drink from His cup Hush now don't you cry His quiet waters Will never run dry Nearing death's vale He's here by my side He leads me to paradise A mountain so high Don't be afraid Just treasure His word Singing His praises I know I'll be heard He's gonna take you by the hand He's gonna make you feel good Open up your eyes And then you'll see all that you should Forget all your troubles You will feel no pain He's all that you need He's your everything When I'm feeling all at sea And deliverance is that distant shore I will not be worried Someday His house will be my home For everymore |

Wish I was somewhere - over you. Your sweet lips tell me there's no chance No more romance - over you. Oh baby how can I go on. Crying so long - over you. Where strangers look for new love I'm so lost in love - over you. Some day yes it might come babe When I'll bebabe - over you. And always up to that moment I will try to say I'm - over you. Oh baby how can I go on? Crying so long - over you. Where stranger look for new love I'm so lost in love - over you. |

Change is difficult to deal with So many choices to make And all those things to do Is there a right time Is there no time Is there a right time Move to the right Move to the left But we are predestined This way or that Is it getting harder I wonder what to do Is there a right time Is there no time Is there a right time Lord if there's mercy Help us and reveal what We're to do If we want some peace In our lives What in the world Do we have to do Is there a right time Is there no time |

overtook me by surprise where was I how was I to know ? How we can drive to a movie show when the music is here in my car ? There's a band playing on the radio with a rhythm of rhyming guitars they're playing oh yeah on the radio. And so it came to be our song and so on through all summer long day and night drifting on into love. Driving you home from a movie show so in tune to the sounds in my car. There's a band playing on the radio ... It's some time since we said goodbye and now we lead our seperate lives. But where am I where can I go ? Driving alone to a movie show so I turn to the sounds in my car. There's a band playing on the radio and it's drowing the sound of my tears. They're playing oh yeah on the radio. |

Before the morning comes, will I hear your song
Come little nightingale, I won't be here for long When you're up there flying, do you care If there's no one else around? When your lover leaves you in the air Do you waver, do you fall? Now while the moon is high Shall we, nightingale, Duet all through the night A pair of souls for sale Stars cluster glistening Captive till the dawn Patiently listening They've heard it all before Should I stay here or should I go? I couldn't bear to be alone Was it really love I saw? Oh, now I'll never know What is this I hear? I recognise that song Sweet little nightingale I knew you'd come along Soon when the morning comes. We will both be gone So sing pretty nightingale Lead, I'll follow on. |
