Re-Make/Re-Model I tried but I could not find a way Looking back all I did was look away Next time is the best time we all know But if there is no next time where do I go? She's the sweetest queen I've ever seen - CPL593H See here she comes see what I mean - CPL593H I could talk talk talk talk talk myself to death But I believe I would only waste my breath Ooh -- show me--
Ladytron You've got me girl - on the run around run around You've got me all around town You've got me girl on the run around And it's getting me down, getting me down Lady if you want to find a lover Then you look no further For I'm gonna be your only Searching at the start of the season And my only reason Is that I'll get to you I'll find some way of connection Hiding my intention Then I'll move up close to you I'll use you and I'll confuse you And then I'll lose you But still you won't suspect me
If There Is Something If there is something that I might find Look around corners Try to find peace of mind I say Where would you go if you were me Try to keep a straight course not easy Somebody special looking at me A certain reaction we find What should it try to be I mean If there are many Meaning the same Being specific just a game I would do anything for you I would climb mountains I would swim all the oceans blue I would walk a thousand miles Reveal my secrets More than enough for me to share I would put roses round our door Sit in the garden Growing potatoes by the score Shake your hair girl with your ponytail Takes me right back - (when you were young) Throw your precious gifts into the air Watch them fall down - (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground You used to walk upon - (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground The hills were higher - (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground The trees were taller - (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground The grass was greener - (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground You used to walk upon - (when you were young)
2HB Oh I was moved by your screen dream Celluloid pictures living Your death could not kill my love for you Take two people romantic Smoky nightclub situation Your cigarette traces a ladder Here's looking at you kid Celebrate years Here's looking at you kid Wipe away tears Long time since we're together Now I hope it's forever Ideal love flies away now White jacket black tie wings too You gave her away to the hero Words don't express my meaning Notes could not spell out the score But finding not keeping's the lesson Here's looking at you kid Hard to forget Here's looking at you kid At least not yet Your mem'ry stays It lingers ever Will fade away never
The Bob (medley) I dreamed last night about your face Your star shone all night Over the moon it shone brighter Star shimmering 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
"But when the party was over, and all was quiet and still, we walked together
in the 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
Chance Meeting I never thought I'd see you again Where have you been until now? Well how are you how have you been It's a long time since we last met It seems like only yesterday when I first Saw you in your red dress smile How could I forget that day I know that time spent well is so rare
Would You Believe? 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 right through you
Sea Breezes I've been thinking now for a long time How to go my own seperate way It's a shame to think about yesterday - a shame, a shame, a shame 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, in love, in love 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
Bitters End At last the crimson chord cascade To shower dry cordials within Too late to leap the chocolate gate Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin While destiny begins to fly The farmyard chorus sings its wake Upstanding anthem sings its wake Too soon to realise their fate You were the raven of october I knew the sign you flew around Up in the air so high above me Never needed to look down I never thought I'd be a rover I didn't even look around But now I know you've found another So will someone please find me Give now the host his claret cup And watch madeira's farewell drink Note his reaction acid sharp Should make the cognoscenti think
FOR YOUR PLEASURE
Do The Strand There's a new sensation! A fabulous creation! A danceable solution! To teenage revolution!
Do the Strand, love When you feel love It's the new way That's why we say Do the Strand
Do it on the tables Quaglino's place or Mabel's
Slow and gentle Sentimental All styles served here Louis Seize he prefer Laissez-faire Le Strand
Tired of the tango Fed up with fandango Dance on moonbeams Slide on rainbows In furs or blue jeans You know what I mean Do the Strand
Had your fill of Quadrilles The Madison and cheap thrills Bored with the Beguine The Samba isn't your scene They're playing our tune By the pale moon We're incognito Down the Lido And we like the Strand
Arabs at oasis Eskimos and Chinese If you feel blue Look through who's who See La Goulue And Nijinsky Do the Strandsky
Weary of the Waltz And mashed potato schmaltz Rhodedendron Is a nice flower Evergreen It lasts forever But it can't beat Strand power The Sphynx and Mona Lisa Lolita and Guernica Did the - STRAND!
Beauty Queen Valerie please believe It never could work out The time to make plans Has passed, faded away Oooh the way you look Makes my starry eyes shiver Then I look away Too much for one day One thing we share Is an ideal of beauty Treasure so rare That even devils might care Your swimming-pool eyes In sea breezes they flutter The coconut tears Heavy-lidded they shed Swaying palms at your feet You're the pride of your street While you worship the sun Summer love of fun Gold number with neighbours Who said you'll go far Maybe someday a star A fast mover like you And your dreams will come true All of my hope, and my inspiration I drew from you Our life's pattern's drawn in sand But the winds could not erase The memory of your face Deep in the night Plying very strange cargo Our soul-ships pass by Solo trips to the stars - in the sky Gliding so far That the eye cannot follow Where do they go We'll never know
Strictly Confidential Before I die I'll write this letter Here are the secrets you must know Until the cloak of evening shadow Changes to the mantle of the dawn Will it be sunny then I wonder? Rolling and turning How can I sleep Hold on till morning What if I fall? Over the hills and down the valleys Soaring aloft and far below Lying on stony ground the fragments Truth is the seed we tried to sow Marking the time spent on our journey There isn't much we have to show Counting the cost in money only Strikes me as funny don't you know Tongue tied the thread of conversation Weighing the words one tries to use Nevertheless communication This is the gift you must not lose Haunting me always are voices Tell us are you ready now Sometimes I wonder if they're real Ready to receive you now Or is it my own imagination Have you any more to say Guilt is a wound that's hard to heal That's the cross you have to bear Could it be evil thoughts become me Tell us what you're thinking now Some things are better left unsaid Magical moment The spell it is breaking There is no light here Is there no key?
Editions of You Well I'm here looking through an old picture frame Just waiting for the perfect view I hope something special will step into my life Another fine edition of you A pin-up done in shades of blue Sometimes you find you're yearning for the quiet life The country air and all of its joys But badgers couldn't compensate at twice the price For just another night with the boys oh yeah And boys will be boys will be boys They say love's a gamble hard to win easy love And while sun shines you'd better make hay So if life is your table and fate is the wheel Then let the chips fall where they may In modern times the modern way And as I was drifting past the Lorelei I heard those slinky sirens wail -- oooh So look out sailor when you hear them croon You'll never be the same again oh no Their crazy music drives you insane this way So love me leave me do what you will who knows what tomorrow might bring Learn from your mistakes is my only advice And stay cool is still the main rule Don't play yourself for a fool Too much cheesecake too soon Old money's better than new No mention in the latest Tribune And don't let this happen to you
In Every Dream Home a Heartache In every dream home a heartache And every step I take Takes me further from heaven Is there a heaven I'd like to think so Standards of living They're rising daily But home oh sweet home It's only a saying From bell push to faucet In smart town apartment The cottage is pretty The main house a palace Penthouse perfection But what goes on What to do there Better pray there Open plan living Bungalow ranch style All of its comforts Seem so essential I bought you mail order My plain wrapper baby Your skin is like vinyl The perfect companion You float in my new pool De luxe and delightful Inflatable doll My role is to serve you Disposable darling Can't throw you away now Immortal and life size My breath is inside you I'll dress you up daily And keep you till death sighs Inflatable doll Lover ungrateful I blew up your body .... But you blew my mind
The Bogus Man The bogus man is on his way As fast as he can run He's tired but he'll get to you And shoot you with his gun
Focused his mind On something he cared about But it came out a shout Just like before
The bogus man is at your heels Now clutching at your coat You must be quick now hurry up He's scratching at your throat
Concealed his doubt By skillful evasion But he couldn't find out About deception
The bogus man is on his way As fast as he can run He's tired but he'll get to you And show you lots of fun
Grey Lagoons Blue suns and grey lagoons Silver starfish with honeymoons All these and more to choose If you Satin teardrops on velvet lights Morning sickness on Friday nights Heaven knows what others I might bring To you Broken partings making strange goodbyes Hopeless cases with fake alibis Even hoping will be there to share With you (Repeat) Blue suns and grey lagoons Grey lagoons Grey lagoons
For Your Pleasure For your pleasure In our present state Part false part true Like anything We present ourselves The words we use Tumble All over Your shoulder Gravel hard and loose There all night Lying With your dark horse Hiding Abhorring such extremes You're rubbing shoulders With the stars At night shining so bright Getting older But you'll wake up Soon and fight In the morning Things you worried about Last night Will seem lighter I hope things Will turn out right Old man- Through every step a change You watch me walk away Tara tara ...
STRANDED
Street Life Wish everybody would leave me alone - yeah They're always calling on my telephone When I pick it up there's no-one there So I walk outside just to take air
Come on with me cruising down the street Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet This brave new world's not like yesterday - I can take you higher than the milky way
Now I'm blinded I can really see - yeah No more bright lights confusing me - no Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue Because loving you is all I can do - ooo
Hey good-looking boys - gather around The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down All those lies can be so unkind, They can make you feel like you're losing your mind
Street Life Street Life Street life What a Life
Street Life Street Life Street life Thats a Life
Back to nature boys - Vasser girls too Watch what you say, or think, or do Continental-style strasse girls might But you know exactly if it's wrong or right Education is an important key - yes But the good life's never won by degrees - no Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale Only window shopping - and strictly no sale Weekend starts Friday soon after eight Your jet black magic helps you celebrate You may be stranded if you stick around That's really something ...
Just Like You Buttercups, daisies And most anything They wither and fade After blossom in Spring
Time conquers innocence Pride takes a fall In knowledge lies wisdom That's all
Everything changes Weather blows hot or cold Through alchemy iron turns cold
Quicksilver baby So hard to pin down Oh when are you coming around?
Hopelessly grounded I walk through the streets Remembering how we spent time Hopefully yearning that someday we'll meet But when will we, how could we - why? Oh my!
Fashion houses ladies Need plenty loose change When the latest creation Is last year's fab-rave
Through patterns hazy This auto-style age Will lady luck smile old and sage?
She knows that never again, no will I give up my heart To gamble with fate is my crime Nevertheless love, it's all here in my book I'd write it but don't have much time
You see - I know it sounds crazy But what can I do? I've fallen head over heels Over you
Chameleon colour All phases of moon The shifting of planets And leopard spots too
As destiny wills it So seasons will change Just like you
Amazona Amazona Is a zone where There is no doubt No more fall-out - Why don't you step Through the mirror and see?
From Arizona To Eldorado Sure is a mighty long way.
Hey little girl Is something wrong? I know it's hard For you to get along The bell-tower rings It tolls a hollow sound But your castles in Spain Still maybe realized And longings more profound.
You see - every cloud Has a silver lining And sometimes paradise Around your corner lies.
In Amazona - everything is nice Little one - come take my hand? I'll try to help you there - I'll take you there.
Amazona's Getting closer Soon you'll see. Journey's over We al-most there!
Psalm 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 Sing 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 For everymore
Serenade Darkness falls 'round 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
A Song For Europe Here as I sit At this empty cafe Thinking of you I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again
Though the world Is my oyster It's only a shell Full of memories And here by the Seine Notre-Dame casts A long lonely shadow
Now - only sorrow No tomorrow There's no today - for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterday
These cities may change But there always remains My obsession Through silken waters My gondola glides And the bridge - it sighs ... I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again There's no more time for us Nothing is there for us to share But yesterdays yeah
Ecce momenta Illa mirabilia Quae captabit In aeternum Memor Modo dolores Sunt in dies Non est reliquum Vero tantum Comminicamus Perdita
Tous ces moments Perdus dans l`enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous Pour nous il n'y a rien A partager sauf le passe
Tous ces moments Perdus dans l`enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais jamais jamais
Mother of Pearl Turn the lights down Way down low Turn up the music Hi as fi can go All the gang's here Everyone you know It's a crazy scene Hey there just look over your shoulder Get the picture? No no no no .......(Yes) Walk a tight-rope Your life-sign-line Such a bright hope Right place, right time What's your number? Never you mind Take a powder But hang on a minute what's coming round the corner Have you a future? No no no no .......(Yes)
Well I've been up all night again Party-time wasting is too much fun Then I step back thinking Of life's inner meaning And my latest fling It's the same old story All love and glory It's a pantomime If you're looking for love In a looking glass world It's pretty hard to find Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't trade you For another girl
Divine intervention Always my intention So I take my time I've been looking for something I always wanted But was never mine But now I've seen that something Just out of reach - glowing - Very Holy grail Oh mother of pearl Lustrous lady Of a scared world
Thus: even Zarathustra Another-time-loser Could believe in you With every goddess a let-down Every idol a bring-down It gets you down But the search for perfection Your own predilection Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian Club love A place in the Country Everyone's ideal But you are my favorita And a place in your heart dear Makes me feel more real Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't change you For the whole world
You're highbrow, holy With lots of soul melancholy shimmering serpentine sleekness Was always my weakness Like a simple tune But no dilettante filigree fancy Beats the plastic you Career girl cover Exposed and another Slips right into-view Oh looking for love In a looking glass world Is pretty hard for you
Few throwaway kisses The boomerang misses Spin round and round Fall on feather-bed quilted Faced with silk Softly stuffed eider down Take refuge in pleasure Just give me your future We'll forget your past Oh mother of pearl Submarine lover In a shrinking world Oh lonely dreamer Your choker provokes A picture cameo Oh mother of pearl So so semi-precious In your detached world
Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't trade you For another girl (repeats 4 times)
Sunset Ah look at the sun - it's all a-glow Slow burning star - sinking low Heaven knows where you go Out of sight, out of minds eye, no
Aw such a shame - you must leave All day long you were a friend to me Still the moon's company Until morning when larks will sing
Horizon's appointment you'll keep For sunswept flamingoes must sleep Scenes like these from my dreams Cover cutting room floors all over
Warm heart we spin slowly from view Why are you sad - do you disapprove How we wasted our time Sunset - end of my day - my decline
Post-script you trace colours the sky Red-letter light fades, is filed away Sunburst fingers you raise One last sigh of farewell - goodbye
COUNTRY LIFE
The Thrill Of It All The sky is dark The wind is cold The night is young Before it's old and grey We will know The thrill 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're gone Still I recall The thrill 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 to give Oy weh. High life ecstacy 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 thrill 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...
Three and Nine You might remember How it used to be 3 and 9 could show you Any fantasy Parti-coloured pictures Now and then 3D No cheap nostalgia Conjured up by me
Back to the old days Close to home Show me some new ways I'll carry on Whether making out or played out Three and nine make twelve I've a dozen reasons Lying on the shelf
B feature back rows Filed away No point pretending Change is here to stay 3 and 9 to 45 Decimal romance If you've warmed to centigrade You stand a sporting chance
I'm not so special You're a misfit too Why must they interfere In everything we do? Should we play safe now Or go all the way? Six and two threes now More I cannot say
All I Want Is You Somebody told me Just the other day That you're leaving me We're through Well if you knew How it hurt me so Then you'd change your mind I'm sure Don't want to hear What's going on I don't care What's new Don't want to know About anything 'Cos all I want Is you
Going out with other girls Was always such a bore But since I fell in love with you I need you more and more
Don't want to know About one-night-stands Cut-price souvenirs All I want is The real thing And a night that lasts for years
If you ever change your mind I've a certain cure An old refrain, it lingers on L'Amour, toujours, l'amour...
Don't want to learn about etiquette From glossy magazines Why should I try To talk correct Like they do In other scenes Say no more About imagery You're starting to confuse Just make an offer Of more romance Of course I can't refuse All I want is you Oo oo I'm all cracked up on you.
Out of The Blue All your cares Now they seem Oh so far away All your fears I fear I once shared
Now I know There's a future For all of us Not so long ago I was so scared
You seemed so sad I could see Through your twisted smile So unsure Always confused
Pale blue eyes Gazing down From your ivory tower Through the haze All broken and bruised
Then: out of the blue Love came rushing in Out of the sky Came the sun Out of left field Came a lucky day Out of the blue No more pain
I don't mind If it's only A passing craze Throwaway lines Often rang true
If I were you I would stay For a little while If you were me Would you walk out In style?
* (repeat) Then out of the blue...*
If It Takes All Night Oh here it comes That old ennui I hope it won't stay long Well it's every-man to his own thing And every singer to his song
If you're feeling low And all upset Nothing's going right You just make a wish Like in a fairy tale And I'll bewitch you If it takes all night
There are many things That I could say To try and comfort you But I know the words you'd like to hear Are simply "I love you"
Sometimes I'm up Sometimes I'm down A topsy-turvy life But I'm only searching For the truth And I'll find it If it takes all night
Well I myself My main concern Is what I can afford So if music be my mistress Then at least she's Madame Claude...d'accord
Ah - more champagne! To lose this pain Would be very nice So I'll help myself to one more drink And I'll find myself If it takes all night
Bitter-Sweet Well this is such A sad affair I've opened up my heart So many times But now it's closed
Oh my dear Every salted tear It wrings Bitter-sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing Every once in a while High stepping chorus lines Mean I'm forgetting *Mein* lullaby - *liebchen*
How rich in contrast Love can be Sometimes I'm quite amused To see it twist and turn To taste - both sweet and dry
These vintage years! Lovers you consume, my friend As others their wine
Nein, dass ist nicht Das Ende der Welt Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst Und das Spiel geht weiter Wie man weiss Noch viele Schoenste ... Wiedersehn
And now, as you turn to leave You try to force a smile - As if to compensate - Then you break down and cry
Triptych Here the soil is barren 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 mouthed a silent choir Understood, unspoken Never was there heard a sound Until the heavens opened
Now the tide is turning To other-worldly yearning Though the sun's eclipse seems final Surely he will rise again
Casanova You - the hero So many times You've loved But didn't linger
Now my finger Points at you - Another loser
You - an island On your own Complete In every detail
Monumental A precious Jewel Or just a fool
Innovator It's in your mind And blood I watch it simmer
I see you're courting More despair No hope? Not a glimmer
Now you're nothing But second hand In glove With second rate
Now you're flirting With heroin - Or is it cocaine?
Casanova - Is that your name Or do you live there?
I know my place Is here with you Tonight But not together
A Really Good Time You've heard enough Of the blues and stuff You're pretty swell now 'Cos you're pretty tough But I don't have to tell you How hard it can be to get by
You're never bothered About anyone else You're well educated With no common sense But love - that's one thing You really need to get by
All your troubles Come from yourself Nobody hurts you - They don't care Just as long as you show them A really good time
All the things You used to do A trip to the movies A drink ot two They don't satisfy you They don't tell you anything new
You know I don't talk much Except to myself 'Cos I've not much to say And there's nobody else Who's ready and willing And able to know me - I guess
Listen to me I'm not finished yet There's something to telll you That I can't forget Just have a really good time
There's a girl I used to know Her face is her fortune She's got a heart of gold She never goes out much But boy - when she does Then you know
She's got no money Well, maybe a dime But she knows what she's worth And that's reason why She's gonna make it She's got what it takes You'll appreciate that She's probably late But I know And you know We all know She'll have a really good time
Prarie Rose -Texas - That's where I Belong It seems to me
-Texas - Lonesome star Shine on The big country
-Texas - With open skies And you For company
-Texas - Oh prarie rose How happy I should be
-Hey hey - You can take it from me -Hey hey- I'll be coming, you'll see -Hey hey- Oh what a state to be in -Hey hey- You're tantalizing me
-Texas - I will compose In fancy rhyme Or just plain prose
-Texas - A song of praise To you Prarie rose
-Texas - Though I'm not sure I can explain Your strange allure
-Texas - Prarie rose - A crown of thorns A scented flower
-Hey hey - I'd better leave right away -Hey hey- I can hear you calling me Prarie rose
SIREN
Love Is The Drug T'ain't no big thing To wait for the bell to ring T'ain't no big thing The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days I troll downtown the red light place Jump up bubble up - what's in store? Love is the drug and I need to score Showing out, showing out, hit and run Boy meets girl where beat goes on Stitched up tight, can't shake free Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I'm thinking of Oh oh can't you see Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car Stake my place in the singles bar Face to face, toe to toe Heart to heart as we hit the floor Lumber up, limbo down The locked embrace, the stumble around I say go, she say yes Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I'm thinking of Oh oh can't you see Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh get that buzz Love is the drug I'm thinking of Oh oh can't you see Love is the drug for me Oh oh - Oh oh Love is - Love is - love is the drug for me
End of the Line Think I'll walk out in the rain Called you time and time again Got no replay You've gone Reached the point of no return The more I see the more I stand alone I see the end of the line Were you ever lonely? Mystified and blue? Realizing only Your number's up You're through Done my share of winning Now's my turn to lose After a fair beginning The game's up I'm through Think I'll walk out in the storm There no love to keep me warm inside Hope it's fine at the end of the line Now's the time to take a dive Try a magic carpet ride Everything is wrong You've gone If you ever miss me If I should cross your mind You know where to find me I'll be waiting at the end of the line
Sentimental Fool 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?
Whirlwind May Day Cut down to size again What then When less is more my friend I'll change Let me start again Disguise It's too weird to explain Why I'll Always call your name Adieu; with you I could be anything That I want to be Whirlwind Wildfire and driving rain Wheels spin Bowl me over hurricane Whirlwind 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 wildcat strike be tame? Earthquake Shake me to my feet again It's crosswords go you near A fatal clue I fear This case is closed Elementally, my dear. Beware Whirlwind
She Sells Now you're talking in headlines Up to the minute and free Stop press, hold the front page Up as a mirror Are you reading me? Watch you walking in waltz time A jigsaw puzzle in tune Or are you faking a straight line To suit yourself too soon Rather nouveau than never Contemporary ideal Some natural kind of poet might slow it But she sells more my speed She sells country and modern Ancient western song Of oriental confusion You so right, me so wrong Now you're fixing to fly me- Auto-erotic, please, On the break that you're gliding. Your lingerie's a gift-wrap Slip it to me Nine till five The daily grind Made-up lies Make up my mind Same machine consuming you Consuming you Oh why She sells I need Oh why love why She sells I need.
Could It Happen To Me? Do you know what it means to me To delight in your company Could it happend to me Do you know what I'm certain of? I would love to fall in love Could it happend to me? Hey won't you look at me Now I'm cracked wide open I can't conceal My all-over trembling, I'm acting strange And while you're out of reach, I never change God knows I'm beside myself If a tear's a crime, then I must confess My guilty secret, I'm not ashamed Take me as I am, an average man Oh boy is it getting rough When my old world charm isn't quite enough I'd throw you cantos, I'd jazz 'em up When I lay me down, you don't pick up What's more, it's a crying shame Only this time no one but myself to blame All I touch turns to dust It's right there in my cards, I ought to cut Let us sing of the tortured heart And a lonely soul in this world apart As he plays a fear, takes a little pain And move our separate ways again Is it easy to say 'I do'? At this moment I love you See beyond me, it's true Now that evening is closing in Should I light that fire again? Could it happen to me? Did it happen to you?
Both Ends Burning Please don't ever let me down 'Cause you know I'm not so sure Do I have the speed to carry on Burn you out of my mind, I know You're a flame that never fades Jungle red's a deadly shade
Both ends burning, will the fires keep Somewhere deep in my soul tonight Both ends burning Burning Burn
Now my course is plain as day Running bold across to play Both ends burning with a strange desire That feeds the fire in my soul tonight I will dance the night away Living only for today
Both ends burning while you're counting sheep Hell-- who can sleep in this heat this night? Tell me will I ever learn? It's too late, the rush is on
Both ends burning and I can't control The fires raging in my soul tonight Oh will it never end? Put your foot around the bend Drive me crazy to an early grave Tell me what is there to save tonight Both ends burning Burning Burn Keep on burning till the end, until the end Keep on burning till the end, the very end.
Nightingale 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.
Just Another High Maybe your heart is aching I wouldn't know, now would I? Maybe your spirit's breaking up I shouldn't care, now should I? Maybe you're thinking of me Well I don't know, now do I? If you only knew how I feel Wish I could die, now don't I?
I'm just another crazy guy Playing at love was another high Just another high
Couldn't believe in my eyes You drifted into my life But marriages made in heaven Can they survive in this life? Surely it came as no surprise Love was too hot to handle Well, I really blew my cool and you You just blew out the candle
Didn't you try just another high? Didn't you sigh as you waved goodbye? Just another high
I'm just another crazy guy Playing at love was another high Such a crazy high
Lately it seems so empty here But I suppose I'm alright Maybe tomorrow's not so clear Still I remember that night Singing to you like this is My only way to reach you Though I'm too proud to say it Oh how I long too see you Shattered my dreams by your goodbye As scattered my hopes they fill the sky Desolate am I
Just another crazy guy Playing at love was another high Just another high
Just another high Just another high Just another high Just another high Just another high Such a crazy high
Maybe I should start anew And maybe I should find someone who Will maybe love me like I love you Maybe I'm too stuck on you Maybe I got stuck on you

Stronger Through The Years Through the undercover hours bad and bleak to be brief - too much sorrow and flesh is weak no more feeling no more tears the river's wide enough flowing stronger through the years
Silver lips - kisses borrowed glances steal to the quick - how they quiver too late they're sealed no more feeling no more tears the river's wide enough flowing stronger through the years
Ain't That So I've been around so far it seems too bad the blues blew my schemes dynamite such sweet surprise in southern heat or northern skies Ain't that so
Shadows cling where shutters close who can tell Heaven knows why some can laugh and some can sing stand in line or get on down and swing Ain't that so
Cross the street who's ringing bells? peeling walls of cheap hotels neon flare a sudden chill and there you lie and time stands still Ain't that so
My Little Girl Walking home tonight it came as no surprise certain parties making out before my eyes my little girl or woman of the world
There's a small cafe where lovers take their time it's good for rainy days too bad the weather's fine my little girl or woman of the world

Dance Away Yesterday - well it seemed so cool when I walked you home, kiss goodnight I said "it's love" you said "alright" it's funny how I could never cry until tonight and you pass by hand in hand with another guy you're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?
Dance away the heartache Dance away the tears - Dance away
Loneliness is a crowded room full of open hearts turn to stone all together all alone all at once my whole world had changed now I'm in the dark, off the wall let the strobe light up them all I close my eyes and dance till dawn Dance away -
Now I know I must walk the line until I find an open door off the street onto the floor there was I - many times a fool I hope and pray, but not too much out of reach is out of touch all the way is far enough Dance away -

You ready for hot stuff? be prepared I'm sick of your cheap cheap hustle oh! don'tcha dare let us pray the lord have mercy on your mercenary mind 'cos even if you cry cry cry your heart out I won't be kind
Are you ready for good times? hard to bear! you're stoppin' on holy ground hold it there! I'm fading out your hologram - a phony toothpaste smile remember when you cry cry cry your heart out I did mine
Spin Me Round Now the ballroom's empty everybody I have known has been and gone with the music over here am I a shadow echoing on Spin me Round...
Now there must be something in what they say of all things great and small there's a dozen roses lying almost dying to say it all Spin me Round...
A nether world dancing toy I'm wired for sound does it matter to me who then turns the key?
Now if life is for living then the way is clear but I don't understand why the dream has ended yet I can't wake up lend a hand - Spin me Round...
