1. _ Tennis
In the morning madness and the stabbing light
She pours the coffee and she says
"what was wrong with you last night?"
"dreams, just dreams my love, we're half asleep"
But the headline's on tennis
So it seems, everything's all right
There's a girl from the midwest, with a pretty face
Scratched where it itched, they said it was a disgrace
"i don't wanna go to work today
Wanna stay at home and watch that girl play"
Do you like tennis?
Yes i do
There are people in boats in the middle of the sea
Crying and dying like jews
Do you like tennis?
Freedom is the man with the red grenade
She ran out of gas, got beat and raped
Do you like tennis?
Well do you like tennis?
Yes i do

3. _ Stick It
The steel mill closes down tonight
As the dying embers fade
And all the guys are too tired for tears
Checking their final pay
Those razored sabres of steel they made
They never got to hold
So many sold, millions
Silence in the bar tonight
And some aren't even here
And red eyes gaze uncertainly
Deep down into their beer
And the holy ghost surrounds you with faith
And peace of mind
And love is all around you everywhere
Stick it
Stick it out
We're sure if you try
You'll get by
Find a way
Stick it
Stick it out
We're sure if you try
You'll get by
Find a way
They tell you it's all over
They don't need you anymore
You hear him shout "bring the next one in"
As you're walking out the door
Decisions for so many dictated by so few
A free man for the first time
What are you gonna do now
Stick it
Stick it out
We're sure if you try
You'll get by
Find a way

4. _ Good News
He's watching the girls on the dance floor
He's watching the light in her hair
He's praying that love's gonna come soon
There's a sweet smell of hope in the air
Just another boy from a steel town
With the flash of the mill in his eye
He don't move for hip cool or fashion
But he knows where the deepest one lies
And he'd love to be warm
And he'd love to love you
So give him some good news
All the cards on the table
But don't look that man in the eye
Say a prayer for the dealer
And kiss your old life goodbye
Go to church light a candle
But don't lose your head for god's sake
Why is my heart beating faster
Oh why do my hands start to shake
'cos he'd love to be warm
And he'd love to love you
So give him some good news

5. _ Only With You
I was down, nowhere bound
Needed love, any love
Something new, breezy and bashful but true
Changing my whole point of view
Suddenly someone, a midnight romancer
A romeo dancer in blue
But only with you
Only with you
No more rain, no more chains
No more cold lonely sleepless nights
Laughing eyes, wider than midsummer skies
Crazy but don't ask me why
Suddenly someone, a midnight romancer
A romeo dancer in blue
But only with you
Only with you
Once a lone star rider who danced in super cool
Now a romeo, it's true
But only with you
Only with you

6. _ Sweet Kiss
I lie awake, late at night
I just don't seem to sleep at all
Got so high, don't i know why
Said man i got that moon-dog call
Stepping out into the street
Gonna dance till my legs fall off
Mister policeman say "what's wrong with you
Why you behaving this way?"
I said i'm hung on her sweet kiss
My mama told me that the day would come
So i don't need no alibi
The judge looked down with a pointed frown
And said "boy you got to explain why"
Out on the street, late at night
Dancing like a crazy fool
Laughing and singing, what's wrong with you?
Why you behaving this way?
I said i'm hung on her sweet kiss
And all the boys they're gonna laugh
And all the girls gonna talk in class
But i don't care, there's just no way
I'm gonna let this feeling fade away
I said i'm hung on her sweet kiss

7. _ Distant Summers
Sweet serenade, in your shade
May i rest
Just for a while, won't stay long
I'll do my best
To help you help me to find some friends
That i have lost
Who lie in lands where memories
And dreams are lost
The breeze that blew around her hair that day
The timeless dress that flowed in endless sway
I almost touched her shoulder, she almost turned to face me
A thousand distant summers... away

8. _ Dancing Girls
It's all become a fantasy
She sits and reads about tiffany's
I moan all day about the state of the world
And the sun beats down
Her book if full of pastel shades
Filigree femmes in lusts of jade
While all around the bullets flew
And the sun beats down
Oh heavy heart, as deep as the endless sea
A thought for every fish, why don't you let them be
Your book's so frivol, but i'm tired of mine
Show me some
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
So many years but nothing's changed
We curse the fire but we still feed it's flames
My cards repeating the same sad song
Why don't you put them down?
Tonight is young, as young as she needs to be
There's room for love, as much as there needs to be
Show me a drink, show me a smile
Show me some
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls
Make me laugh and make me sing
Dancing girls

9. _ For Ever And Ever
Don't ask me how long baby it's gonna take
I don't know honey, just give it a break
Love don't happen to you overnight
You got to feed it, leave it
Give it some light
Oh love, true love
When it looks like you're winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
Is that when it stays for you and me?
With every ray of sunshine sugar
There's little bit of rain
You got to take the bad times with the good times
'cos no love's the same
Oh love, true love
When it looks like you're winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
That's when it stays
When you've found your star love will know just who you are
For ever and ever she'll stay
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
Is that when it stays?

10. _ Every Time I See You Smile
Sat out a card game in a motel room
Don't let the muzak drive you crazy late at night
They tell me it's all part of the deal i'm in
Well i close my eyes, put memory into sight
Every time i see you smile
Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking
An hour or so: i hope she's right on time
And you dream away your touchdown destination
Now single file and put yourself back in line
But oh, every time i see you smile
Now this old world don't give much for choosing
You can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild
But i can take its punches laughing - don't mind losing
Just as long as i get to see you smile every once in a while

11. _ Since I Don't See You Anymore
The gas-lamp flickers in the night
And jingle-jangles in the wind
The pool-hall cowboys play and play
'cos pool-hall hot shots don't go home
And a lonely breeze sends shivers
From a distant shore
Since i don't see you anymore
The morning curtains gently sway
A gap throws light across the room
You curse that noisy radio
Even when you turn it down
It tells us bad news of a distant war
And i don't see you anymore
Since i didn't see you
Since i didn't see you
Since i don't see you anymore
No me da un bledo si senor
Since i don't see you anymore
I've always got time for one more
Since i don't see you anymore
And a lonely breeze sends shivers
From a distant shore
And the tears fall faster now love
Much more than before
Since i don't see you anymore
Sing a song of love to me
Sing a song of love to me
As the shadows start to grow
And i won't be sad and lonely
Anymore
'cos if you sing a song of love to me
I will always find a smile
That will warm my cold, cold heart
Just for a while
Songs of love i know so well
Yea, i've seen some days and had some times
Lucky boy i can hear you say
You think my sun does nothing but shine
