(the szuters)



Took all this time
I never thought it would be like this
I guess the best is best forgotten
Now and then i come back to that dream
Where if i set you free
You'd come back to me
And say that it's not all for nothing

All i wanted was one hit record
All i wanted was a chance to be a star
All i wanted was a happy ending

Don't want to hear about the money you're making
Don't want to hear about the young girl shaking
All i wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere

Well, my good friends talk about
The things they've done
And look around where i am now
Lately in bed
With this worry in my head
Sometimes wish that i were dead
Just like robin saunders said

All i wanted was one hit record
All i wanted was a chance to be a star
All i wanted was a happy ending

Don't want to hear about the money you're making
Don't want to hear about the young girl shaking
All i wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere
Somewhere down the line

All i wanted was one hit record
All i wanted was a chance to be a star
All i wanted was a happy ending

Don't want to hear about the money you're making
Don't want to hear about the young girl shaking
All i wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere
Somewhere down the line...oh yeah

Somewhere down the line
Oh yeah
Somewhere
Somewhere
Yeah
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere

Where are you running my love
Through the back streets of the city
You're keeping an eye on the horizon
Looking over your shoulder
Must be some demon driving you
I must have looked like a prime one
Running after you like we still could survive
But nobody i've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'

I've got a hole in my heart
You know that i've got a hole in my heart
But i won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

You're nothing but a taker
A real heartbreaker
Who ever hurt you so long ago baby,

Must have been a master
But you're learning fast

I've got a hole in my heart
You know that i've got a hole in my heart
But i won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

Nobody i've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'

I've got a hole in my heart
You know that i've got a hole in my heart
But i won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart

I want your flesh and blood
And to feel your heart pumping hard
I want to tell my story to your eyes
I want to watch you react
To me baby
Maybe i'm dreaming
I got to do something
We may be on the same planet
Living in different worlds

Do you speak the language of love
Living in the touch of your fingers
Are you the passionate type
Is this a natural thing
Do you speak the language of love
Second hand emotional trigger
In the devil's playground
Hear the church bells ring

I speak the language of love
I speak the language of love

She's my great obsession
And the girl likes me too
I think she has the wrong impression
She thinks i want to be friends
Maybe i'm dreaming
I better do something
We might be on the same planet
But talk different tongues

Do you speak the language of love
Living in the touch of your fingers
Are you the passionate type
Is this a natural thing
Do you speak the language of love
Second hand emotional trigger
In the devil's playground
Hear the church bells ring

I speak the language of love
I speak the language of love

She thinks i want to be friends
Maybe i'm dreaming
I better do something
We may be on the same planet
Living in different worlds

I speak the language of love
I speak the language of love
Do you speak the language of love
Living in the touch of your fingers
Are you the passionate type
Is this a natural thing

Do you speak the language of love
Second hand emotional trigger
In the devil's playground
Hear the church bells ring

Lio they say you haven't made it
Until you got that favor
I can't help it hurts me
The pen cuts like a razor
Too bad if they kick you in the face
They draw blood you can put in your pen
And you write again

Oh what a disappointment, lio
I thought that you would go the distance, my-o
Anticipation was a little, high-o
You were low, low, low, low, lio

Symbols spread across the pages
I play electric wires
I've got rhythms in my head
And irons in the fires
It don't hurt the process
But they did leave a scar on the face of the fighter
Who'll fight again

Oh what a disappointment, lio
I thought that you would go the distance, my-o
Anticipation was a little high-o
You were low, low, low, low, lio

My world, which lives inside of my head
No where else but my head
And i'm the one who puts the limitations on it
They said you belong in this line over here
No thanks, i'm not that weak
And the music will speak again

Oh what a disappointment, lio
I thought that you would go the distance, my-o
Anticipation was a little high-o
You were low, low, low, low, lio
You were low, low, low, low, lio
You were low, low, low, low

Humans walking around in cages
We build with our own hands
Looking for the turning point
That waits outside

Like to tell you 'bout my baby
You know she comes around,
Just 'bout five feet four a-from her head to the ground
You know she comes around here just about midnight

All right, yeah now

So you tell me she's a little cheater
She's a man eater
Yeah that's all right
'cause i think i know her better
You can keep your chatter
And i know it's gonna be alright

Bite your tongue
You know i don't want to hear this
Bite your tongue
You know i've been told before
And i don't wanna hear it anymore
'cause you're not talking 'bout my girl
She is her daddy's pearl
She wouldn't hurt me for the world
Oh oh oh

Everybody seems to get their kicks
Waiting for some fixation they ain't' got
That i'm gonna find out
Sooner or later
They're sure it's coming but i know it's not

Bite your tongue
You know i don't want to hear this
Bite your tongue
You know i've been told before
And i don't wanna hear it anymore
'cause you're not talking 'bout my girl
She is her daddy's pearl
She wouldn't hurt me for the world
Oh oh oh

Daddy's pearl
You know she's daddy's pearl
You know she's daddy's pearl

Bite your tongue
You know i've been told before
And i don't wanna hear it anymore
'cause you're not talking 'bout my girl
She is her daddy's pearl
She wouldn't hurt me for the world
Oh oh oh

Waking up in the night
The fear comes down
Oh
And here i go again with the insecurities
Doubts are running themselves all over me

Help
Help is on the way
She don't have to say
Anything
She reaches out her hand
I know she understands
All of me
Nobody loves me like she

Just another face in the human sea
But she gives me a reason to believe
I myself am an island in the human sea
And i know i am never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river before

Standing on the beach
Of the human sea
I feel so absolutely insignificant
One more dreamer in a city of heartbreak

Help
Help is on the way
She don't have to say
Anything
She reaches out her hand
I know she understands
All of me
Nobody loves her like me

Just another face in the human sea
But she gives me a reason to believe
I myself am an island in the human sea
And i know i am never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river before

I don't want to seem too dependent
But i guess it already shows
By the short hairs i will follow
Every where that she goes

Just another face
Help
Help is on the way
She don't have to say anything
I know she understands
She reaches out her hand to me
Nobody lover her like me

Just another life in a human sea
I'm just the next one looking for an answer
Take your partners hand for the human dance
Won't you lead
You know i'm not a dance
Just another face to the human sea
But she gives me a reason to believe
I find myself an island in the human sea
And i know i'm never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river
I was running like a river
Running like a river before
Just another face in the human sea
But she gives me a reason to believe
Find myself an island in the human sea
And i know i'm never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river
I was running like a river
Running like a river before

I see you standing out there in the hall
You seem so nervous waiting for his call
I focus on you
I reach for the lens
The shutter snaps again

(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know
(smile)
The camera never ever lies
I've been watching you with
Eager hungry eyes
For sometime
(smile)

I hold my lens in the middle of the night
Visions of you dancing in the strobe light
Up on my wall is a picture or two
Of someone who looks like you

(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know
(smile)
The camera is my wide lens
(smile)
You know the camera is my private eye
I got color transparencies
I got black and white
(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know that
(smile)
Cameras never ever lies
(smile)
I've been watching you with telephoto eyes
For some time

(smile)
Smile for me

Smile for me

Smile for me

Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me

Won't you smile for the camera
Won't you smile for the
Click, click, click

Smile for the camera
You know that
(smile)
Camera is my private eye
(smile)
I've been watching you
With eager hungry eyes for some time

Like an eagle soaring through the sky
I can see beyond the borders of our lives
No more fighting, no more taking sides
Now i'm standing here with both arms open wide
Talk to me and i won't be a stranger
Close your eyes, and we both feel the same

I need you
Like the air i'm breathing
I need you
You're a part of me inside
I'm with you
As long as my heart's beating
And together we'll survive

Stand beside me, we can work it out
I could use some help, and that's what love's about
Look through my eyes, past the setting sun
I could see a day when we can live as one
Take my hand; let nothing come between us
I will be here for you 'til the end

I need you
Like the air i'm breathing
I need you
You're a part of me inside
I'm with you
As long as my heart's beating
And together we'll survive

Hear me out; use your heart to listen
Different worlds can't keep us apart

I need you
Like the air i'm breathing
I need you
You're a part of me inside
I'm with you
As long as my heart's beating
And together we'll survive

I need you
I'll be here when you need me
I'll hold you as dear to me as life (as dear to me as life)

I need you
You've given love a new meaning
You're a part of me inside

I need you
Like the air i'm breathing
I need you,
You're a part of me inside
I'm with you
As long as my heart's beating
And together we'll survive

She loved the man
Who stayed the night
That made the child
Lord it seemed so right

Her mamma cried
And her daddy swore
It nearly broke her heart
She needed so much more

Life begin oh child within
Life begin a child within

Who can say
Why lovers part
She'll always keep a place for him
Inside her heart
He writes a bit
And people seem sincere
But she wished they'd call it more than
Just a souvenir

Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within

She fell in love
Was that a crime
She's not a bad girl
But you know it happens all the time
You give yourself
To the one you love
Tomorrow heartbreak
You never dream of

Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within

Here i come again
Up against the wall
But if i don't give it everything i got baby,
It will come to nothing at all

Give it one more chance
Before i fade to black
I'm fighting for my life yeah i'm scared
But you know that i can never look back

They say i can't refuse
I've got nothing left to lose
But if you're asking me to choose
I'm gonna stand up for love

Baby once i'm in, you know i play to win
I stand up for love
Cuz it's all that i can do

I stand up for love

When i cut you down
Bet it hurt so bad
It can break your faith
And your soul like you're living in a world gone bad

When it comes back around
Rip your heart
Break you down
You gotta hold your ground
Babe, you gotta
Stand up for love

It's a chance i take
It's never too late
Stand up for love
It's the best that i can do
You gotta stand up for love
Cuz baby once you're in it, you gotta play to win it
Stand up for love
Baby i'll be good to you

I'm thinking of the times when things were better babe
I'm missing them, missing them
Well i never thought they would end

You know i can't refuse
I got nothing left to lose
If you're asking me to choose
I'm gonna stand up for love
It's a chance i'll take
It's never too late
Stand up for love

It's the best that i can do
You gotta stand up for love
Cuz baby once you're in
You've gotta play to win
Stand up for love
Baby i'll be good to you

Stand up for love

Bess:
Baby i'm sad
I feel you inside every time
I breathe
When i kissed your mouth
You made me feel strong.
You were my life from that first kiss
I knew you better than i knew myself


But i thought we had forever, baby
I'd always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever


Houdini:
Baby i miss you too
I spent my life trying
To capture a dream
When i touched your face
I burned with desire
Though our souls are worlds apart
You're living in my heart


Both:
But i thought we had forever, baby
I'd always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever

Interlude - scene: the escapes

Both:
But i thought we had forever, baby
I'd always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever

Bess:
My heart beats to the memory of you

Both:
Love is the only thing that's true
But i thought we had forever, baby
I'd always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever


Together we will make it last forever
Together we will make it last forever

When we talk it's a thriller, baby
It's like walking on a tightrope line
When we spark it's electric, baby
Like the crackle from a neon sign
What you doin', baby, come on over tonight
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
We'll have the joint jumpin'
We'll be doin', doin', doin, alright

Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)

Well, i've got it all planned on the other hand
If you like it like that
When we touch, there's a shock baby
Like the static from a pylon
When we love i'm on a rocket baby
Running up and down your nylons
What you doin', baby, come on over tonight
(well, well, well)
We'll have the joint jumpin'
We'll be doin', doin', doin, alright

Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Well i take it when i want it
And i really want it now
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Well you know that i take it when i want it
And i want it tonight, tonight

Baby used to be a rock n roller
In the night time
She used to use all of my money
To have a good time

I gave her plenty of good times
She gave me plenty of heartaches
She was planning a getaway
Oh take me

To beethoven street
That's where i want to be
Yeah take me
To beethoven street
That's where i want to be
Baby's given up rock n roll
And i can hardly keep control
Take me to beethoven street
Mr. i want to be there

Who cut the power on you
I just don't know
Who pulled the switch her heartbeat
She wouldn't let me know
I gave her plenty of good times
She gave me plenty of heartaches
She was planning a getaway

Take me to beethoven street
That's where i want to be
Take me to beethoven street
Mr. i want to be there
Who cut the power on you baby
I just don't know
Who pulled the power on you
I just don't know
I gave her plenty of good times
She gave me plenty of heartaches
She was planning a getaway

Take me to beethoven street
That's where i want to be
Take me to beethoven street
Mr. i want to be there
Take me to beethoven street

Stop (stop) my head is playing tricks again, won't it ever stop
Baby, help me listen to my heart
And then take me to the top
I'm afraid of love, so afraid of love
And i'm scared to make it right
But i know tonight, that it's my last chance
My last shot with real love and i wanna take it
Last chance in the slow dance, in the big time
And i wanna make it tonight
You're gonna show what love is and why
Between the sweat and the lovin'
The whisper and the cry
I'm so tired of all this shit that i feel
Show me something real

Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can i do
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak

I (i) spend my life waiting for the future and living in the past
Baby, show me love that i can hold on to
Give me something that'll last
I'm a total wreck but i'm up to my neck in this love i'm in
It's a long shot, fun try from a real world, me and you, baby
Last chance for the slow dance in the bright lights
And i think that maybe tonight it's gonna happen
Ain't no use in tryin'
Between the sweat and the lovin', the whisper and the cry
Show me something real

Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can i do
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak

Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can i do
You've got the power- you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak

Whenever i call you friend
I begin to think i understand
Anything we are
You and i have always been ever and ever

I see myself within your eyes
And that's all i need to show me why
Everything i do, always takes me home to you
Ever and ever

Now i know my life has given me
More than memories
Day by day we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on

Sweet love showin' us a heavenly light
I've never seen such a beautiful sight
Sweet love flowin' almost every night
I know forever we'll be doin' it...right

Whenever i call you friend
I believe i've come to understand
Everywhere we are you and i were meant to be
Forever and ever

I think about the times to come
Knowin' i will be the lucky one
Ever our love will last
I always want to call you friend

Sweet love...sweet love
You're the glowing light in my life
The source of pride in my life
Everything i do takes me back to you

(mick jagger and keith richards)



I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And i sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a union jack
And says, i've won five pounds if i have his kind of detergent pack

I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

The telephone is ringing,
I say, "hi, it's me. who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, i guess i'm doin' fine
He says, "it's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?"

I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this,
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, i was so tired and i started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen

I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd

Why can i still see
Out on the floor
You shimmy and shake it
And we head for the door
Then we take a ride naked
There was no need to fake it

Moving like a mountain
(moving like a mountain)
You're my little wild one
(you're my little wild one)
Coming like a fountain
(coming like a fountain)
What happened to that big fun
(what happened to that big fun)

Shake it
Oh there she goes drifting across the floor
Don't you shimmy, don't you shake
Don't you

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance

What happened to the wide eyed girl
Who wanted a piece of my soul

Remember that friday
I saw you with that sinner
He stood up and held out his hand
Just like a winner
I said if you take my hand to shake it
I'll take your face and break it

I think i saw you crying
(i think i saw you crying)
You walked out with that big gun
(you walked out with that big gun)
Nights when i'm not lying
(nights when i'm not lying)
I miss my little wild one
(i miss my little wild one)

Oh baby i remember how you'd
Shiver to my touch
Don't you shake
Don't you shimmy, baby

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance

Oh step back in time
And see that scene again
Let's dance again
Baby
Oh baby

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance

Why
Don't you
Dance

Don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why
Don't you
Dance

Moving like a mountain
(moving like a mountain)
You're my little wild one
(you're my little wild one)
Coming like a fountain
(coming like a fountain)
What happened to that big fun
(what happened to that big fun)

Shake it
Oh there she goes drifting across the floor
Don't you shimmy, don't you shake
Don't you

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance

Why don't you shake baby you
Why don't you baby

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Anymore

This one way love affair ain't fair, it ain't fair to me
It's all give and take and you just take
I can't take it you see
Well, i'm givin' up on love this time
Me and my friends, we'll do just fine

I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me

You said someday i'd have a whole lotta money,
I'd be a millionaire
But when that didn't happen over night
I found out how much you really cared
Well, all you want is a whole lotta money
All the rest is just jivin' honey

I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me

When i first met you, you didn't know how to love a man
All those things about makin' love you didn't understand
Now you know about everything
I'm turning you in for memories, you see

I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me

Well, i'm going out on the town tonight
And get as wild as i can be
I'm gonna find out what it's really like to be lose, high and free
Well, i don't care what the people say
I'm changin' my mind, i'm changin' to stay

I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
You've done nothing for me
You've done nothing
You've done nothing
You've done nothing for me

(jeff barrie and ellie greenwich)


There she was just a-walkin' down the street,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
She looked good, looked good
She looked fine, looked fine
She looked good, she looked fine
And i nearly lost my mind

Before i knew it she was walkin' next to me.
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We walked on, walked on
To my door, my door
We walked on to my door,
Then we kissed a little more

Wo-o-o-oh, i knew we were falling in love,
Yes i did, and so i told her all the things
That i'd been dreamin' of

Now we're toget her nearly every single day,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We're so happy and that how we're gonna stay,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers, i'm hers
She's mine, she's mine
I'm hers, she's mine,
Wedding bells are gonna chime

Wo-o-o-oh, i knew we were falling in love,
Yes i did, and so i told her all the things
That i'd been dreamin' of

Now we're togther nearly every single day
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We're so happy and that how we're gonna stay
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers, i'm hers
She's mine, she's mine
I'm hers, she's mine,
Wedding bells are gonna chime

Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do

Well it's christmas eve in memphis
And i'm stuck here in mobile
It's christmas eve in memphis baby
And i'm stuck here in mobile

You can imagine how i feel

Well merry christmas baby

Merry christmas baby

What's a poor boy supposed to do
I'm walking home for christmas
What's a poor boy supposed to do
