unknown

The child is a king, the carollers sing,
The old has passed, there's a new beginning.
Dreams of santa, dreams of snow,
Fingers numb, faces aglow.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see

A time for living, a time for believing
A time for trusting, not deceiving,
Love and laughter and joy ever after,
Ours for the taking, just follow the master.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see

A time for giving, a time for getting,
A time for forgiving and for forgetting.
Christmas is love, christmas is peace,
A time for hating and fighting to cease.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see

(repeat)

He's the footsteps in the night
Shadows gone before the light
Never get to see the face
Of spider man

Catcing flies just ain't his style
If you're crooked stop think awhile
Once bitten - never the same
He makes a black widow look tame
Spider man

He spins a golden web
With a golden thread
That never, never let's him down, down, down
And when the spidercatcher comes to town
He ain't around

Solo

If you're walking in the park
And hear a shuffling in the dark
Don't stop to give it a glance
You know there's a pretty good chance
It's spider man, spider man
Once bitten never the same
He makes a black widow look tame
Spider man

I peeked in to say good-night,
When i heard my child in prayer.
And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair.

All the stores were closed and shuttered,
All the streets were dark and bare.
In our town no scarlet ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair.

Thru the night my heart was aching,
Just before the dawn was breaking.
I peeked in and on her bed,
In gay profusion lying there,
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for her hair.

If i live to be a hundred,
I will never know from where.
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for her hair.

Scarlet ribbons- there's magic in the air,
Scarlet, scarlet ribbons for her hair.

My love is turning.
Like a wheel of fire she burns her way.
My love is burning.
She's a light to guide me through the fray.
Galadriel, spirit of starlight.
Eagle and dove gave birth to thee.
Galadriel, spirit of starlight.
You are my love and earth to me, my
Love and earth to me.
My love is seeing.
Through unabiased eyes she reads the signs.
My love is searching.
For new life somewhere she's bound to find.
Galadriel, spirit of starlight.
Eagle and dove give birth to thee.
Galadriel, spirit of starlight.
You are my love and earth to me.
My love and earth to me.

Looking around nowhere to go
Looking high but you're feelin' low
Ready or not you got to run when you can
Stealin' time just like everyman

Oh oh wanna let you know
You can't hide you can't hide
Oh-oh wanna tell you so
Well you tried i think you lied

Everyman you get lonely
Saw you cryingjust the other day
Everyman it's not your money
You and i get to feel this way
We can feel the rain
We're like everyman

Spend your time spend your money too
Spend your life if it gets you through
Look around see you everywhere
Stealin' love we'll it's just not fair

Oh oh wanna let you know
You can't hide you can't hide
Oh-oh wanna tell you so

Everyman it's not your money
You and i get to feel this way
We can feel the rain
We're like everyman

See you everywhere i go, looking high but you're feeling low
Everyman everyman

I wonder if after all this time
You think of me.
Do you ever miss my company?
You never could doubt about
The way that i feel.
Tell me: d'you feel it too?
It's funny how after all this time
You're all i see.
I wonder if you still keep your key.
And now that you're gone
There's nothing left for me here,
Just a wide open space.
And i can't forget that smile on your face.
There's a wide open space,
And noone else can stand in your place.
There's a wide open space here in my heart.

It's funny how all at once
The world can turn around,
Taking you up to bring you down.
And suddenly life has passed me by
And i'm left with a wide open space.
You know i can't forget that smile...
... wide open space here in my heart.

I couldn't believe it when i thought
I heard you say
You'd never be coming back this way.
And since you've been gone
There's been no love for my heart,
No, not a trace.
And i can't forget that smile...
... wide open space here in my heart.

Oh donna
Oh doonna
Oh donna
Oh donna

I had a girl donna was her name
Since she left me
Well i've never been the same
'cause i love my girl
Donna where can you be

And now that you're gone
I'm left here all alone
All by myself to wander and roam
How i love my girl
Donna where can you be

Oh donna
Now that you're gone
I don't know what to do
All my love and all my kisses
Were for you, you just you

I had a girl donna was her name
Since she's been gone
I've never been the same
'cause i love my girl
Donna where can you be

Oh donna
Now that you're gone
I don't know what to do
All my love and all my kisses
Were for you

I had a girl donna was her name
Since she's been gone
I've never been the same
I love my girl
Donna where, where can you be
Oh donna, oh donna, oh donna, oh donna

Rock and roll music isn't goin' on the way it should be
We're gettin' in so we can't see the wood from the tree
You know security can be so tight
That i can't get away to play at night

Got to find a place make a little space
Start all over again ooh all over again

So simple when you only need electric guitar
Two records and i'm an international star
They introduced me as the boy next door
But i don't live in that street no more

Well i've got to find a place make a little space
Start all over again ooh all over again
Start all over

I've got to find myself a living doll
Who's always ready when i make my call

Well i've got to find a place make a little space
Start all over again...all over again

I've got to find a place make a little space
Start all over again
Start all over
Rock'n'roll music isn't rock'n'roll etc....

Oh darlin' i can see that there's something
Gettin' to you inside
Well just remember you got nothing to hide
'cos darlin' i'm just sitting here waiting
Waiting till you give me a sign
Make it soon and baby you'll make it on time

'cos if there's anything that you want
Just come running to me
And if there's anything that you need
Just come running to me
If there's anything i can do then i'll do it
Anything to make you see
If there's anything i can do (darling)
Just come running to me

And darling just keep on believing
Never let the feeling go
Take it easy you'll do the right thing i know
'cos darling there's a dream i've been dreaming
Telling me that you're on your way
We're gonna make it we're gonna make it today

'cos if there's anything that you want
Just come running to me
And if there's anything that you need
Just come running to me
If there's anything i can do then i'll do it
Anything to make you see
If there's anything i can do (darling)
Just come running to me

(if there's anything that you want)
Come runnin'-runnin' runnin' runnin'
(and if there's anything that you need)
Come runnin'-runnin' runnin' runnin'
If there's anything i can do then i'll do it
Anything to make you see
If there's anything i can do (darling)
Just come running to me

Just come running to me
And if there's anything that you need
Just come running to me

Come runnin' come runnin' ooh ooh
Don't you hesitate you just come running
Run run run come runnin'
Just gotta run my way
Anytime night-day...

Oh darling, will our love be like an evergreen tree
Stay ever green and young as the seasons go
Your kisses could make love grow like an evergreen tree
Bloom in the summer's sun and the winter's snow

On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay ever green, if our hearts stay ever true

Oh darling, i love you so, don't you know that i'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree

On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay ever green, if our hearts stay ever true
Oh darling, i love you so, don't you know that i'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree

On the evergreen tree, on the evergreen tree.

Tomorrow never comes when you are looking foward to it
You try so hard to live the day your way
But what a life if you could live the way you want it
You tried it once before but it didn't work out
You know you need someone to bring out the best in you

To be a light to you is what i intend to do
To show the way you know you ought to go
You'll see a world that will surely come into view
So take the hand that i offer to you
To see the truth that you will be no longer

Lost, lost in a lonely world (lost and lonely)
'cos i can see that there's life in your eyes
If only you would realise
That now you don't have to settle for this
(you don't have to settle for this)
You don't have to say "there's nowhere to go"
You can find out anything you really wanna know

On my way home i met an
Old friend of mine
We walked and we talked an' shared
A bottle of wine
We started to dance and my
Intentions were good
How could i know i'd be misunderstood

I promised to call before the weekend
Was thru
We'd all get together sho she could
Meet you
I was just being friendly, i met her
By chance
You gotta believe me - it's not a romance

Don't turn the light out, i'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out

You gotta see it from my point
Of view
The same situation could
Happen to you
I said it was over before she left
Town
I can't believe that you're putting me down

Don't turn the light out, i'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out

It would be easy if you'd lighten up
Do it to please me, enough is enough
All that we've been thru, how can you doubt
The ups an' the downs are what loving's about

So don't turn the light out, i'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out

Used to think that life was sweet,
Used to think we were so complete,
I can't believe you'd throw it away.

Used to feel we had it made,
Used to feel we could sail away,
Can you imagine how i feel today,
Well it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one,
Now it comes to letting go you are the only one,
Do you know what you've done.

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore,
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore,
But i ain't losing sleep and i ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

Well it really doesn't matter to me,
I guess your leaving was meant to be,
It's down to you now you wanna be free,
Well i hope you know which way to go you're on your own again,
And don't come crying to me when you're the lonely one,
Remember what you've done.

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore,
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore,
But i ain't losing sleep and i ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

But i ain't losing sleep and i ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

But i ain't losing sleep and i ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

Wenn einer kommt und sagt dir heut'
Er haette fuer dich immer zeit
Sag' "no" zu ihm
Und kommt einmal ein reicher boy
Und er verspricht dir allerlei
Sag' "no" zu ihm
Wenn ich einmal nicht bei dir bin
Da redet man so vieles hin
Ja, so faengt es an
Sie sagen, man hat mich geseh'n
Mit susi, evi und marleen
Und marianne


(refr.:)
Darum bitt' ich dich, glaub nur an mich an jedem tag
Wenn dein herz versteht, ist alles klar, was ich dir sag'


Wenn einer kommt und dir erklaert
Ich sei nicht einen heller wert
Sag' "no" zu ihm
Wenn einer sagt, er wuesste schon
Ich laufe dir ja doch davon
Sag' "no" zu ihm
Wenn falsche freunde von dir geh'n
Sollt' es dir einmal schlecht ergeh'n
Ja das ist nicht schlimm
Denn ich werd' immer treu dir sein
Drum sage jedem andren nein
Sag' "no" zu ihm

We should be together for christmas
Together with the ones we love
The ones we care for
We should be together for christmas
And be there with the ones we love
And not be far away
That's why they invented planes
So we could fly away
To the ones we love
And be there for this day

We should be together for cristmas
It isn't right to be apart
We could be here wild in our wishes
With all the love that's in my heart
I want you to be here
That's why they invented trains
So you could ride away
To the one you love
And be here for this day
We should be together

And it never matters where
Anyplace... we don't care
Long as we both are there

That's why they invented stars

I got no need for cars
Just a wish and i could be there
Where you are

Free to run like the wind on a summer day
Heart worn like a ring around the moon
And your eyes are ablaze
Reflections of time passing by
That remind you there's much more to life
Than standing still
Or running from place to place in the heat of
The day
Just follow your heart and you'll see ...
There's more to life

There beyond the horizon there's another day
Far above the pain and fear you feel
The power and the pace
The greatest sensation of all
There's much more to life than you'll ever know
The rise and fall, there'll always be you and me
We're moving as one
So follow your heart and you'll see ...
There's more to life

We all have our dreams
We all have our visions
But time after time we're faced with decisions
Which road to follow?
How hard to fight?
Then you wake up and see
That there's more to life

Free in acres of sky on a summer day
Fire that burns with hope inside your heart
We are never apart
Reflections of time passing by
That remind you there's much more to life
So follow your heart and you'll see
If you follow your heart you'll be free
'cos there's more to life
So much more to life
More to life

There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be just couldn't be
Anyone else but you

If i could take my pick of all the girls
I've ever known
Then i'd come and pick you out to be my very own

There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be just couldn't be
Anyone else but you


I never will forget the way you kissed me
And when we're not together i wonder if you miss me
'cause i hope and i pray the day will come
When you belong to me then i am gonna prove to you
How true my love can be

I never will forget the way you kissed me
And when we're not together i wonder if you miss me
'cos i hope and i pray the day will come
When you'll belong to me
'cause then i'm gonna prove to you

Du bist schoen, wenn du lachst sally sunshine, denn das macht auch die regentage schoen
Ich hab's gern, wenn du lachst, weil mich das gluecklich macht
Und ich freu' mich darauf, wenn wir uns seh'n
Hab' ich streit irgendwann, sally sunshine, dann erzaehl' ich dir alles ganz genau
Dann verziehst du den mund und du sagst mir den grund
Ich lach' mit und schon ist der himmel blau


(refr.:)
Wenn du lachst, lacht das glueck, sally sunshine
Und die welt hat dann gleich ein sonntagskleid
Wenn du lachst, lach' ich mit, oh, sally sunshine
Das ganze leben, das wird dann kinderleicht


Hab' den bus ich verpasst, sally sunshine, und der zweite kommt ganz bestimmt zu spaet
Dann fahr' ich, aus der haut und du lachst dann ganz laut
Ich lach' mit, weil es gar nicht anders geht

O come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant.
O come ye to bethlehem.
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels,

Oh come let us adore him,

Venite venite adoremus dominum,

Sing choirs of angels,
Sing in exaltation.
Oh sing all ye citizens
Glory to god in the highest.

Oh come let us adore him,
Oh come let us adore him,
Venite venite adoremus dominum,
Venite venite adoremus dominum.

Oh come let us adore him,

Oh come let us adore him,
Venite venite adoremus dominum,
Venite venite adoremus dominum.
Oh come, oh come all ye faithful
Oh come, oh come all ye faithful
Oh come, oh come all ye faithful.

You've got to give me all your lovin'
'cause a man ain't nothin' without woman's love
You've got to give me all your lovin'
Give it all to me 'cause a part just ain't enough

Like a flower needs the rain to grow
Like a winter needs a fall of snow
You're the one i need
To satisfy my soul
It's a lonely feelin' late at night
Without you here to put the feelin' right
You're the one i need
Your love is out of sight

You've got to give me all your lovin'
'cause a man ain't nothin' without woman's love
You've got to give me all your lovin'
Give it all to me 'cause a part just ain't enough

You're the only woman on my mind
I've been waitin' such a long long time
If you stay by me who knows what you might find
There's a certain magic in your smile
And it's plain to see you've sure got style
Just to be with you i'd walk a thousand miles

You've got to give me all your lovin'
'cause a man ain't nothin' without woman's love
You've got to give me all your lovin'
Give it all to me 'cause a part just ain't enough

We turned water into wine but that didn't last
We were the victims of our age
Now we live on different floors
And go our separate ways
And talk behind closed doors
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart

We used to sit around the fire
And whisper words the world outside would make no claim to hear
But now we talk an octave higher
In droning tones that don't relate at all to yester year
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart

Do you remember when we were seventeen
We took a boat out for an hour
But we preferred the greenery to the scenery of the sea
And tied up in some cosy cove
Till harbour lights appeared across the bay

Into love and out of mind
A poet claimed that loving you has only made me blind
But love is really crystal clear
It's only when you need someone the clouds will soon appear
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart

Do you remember when laughter was the cure
For all the hard times that we knew
But we forgot to feed the fire - let it all burn down
Warmth returns to cold and poison into pain
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart

On avait vingt ans pour la vie
Les annees qui passent ne nous ont pas connu vieillis
Ou sont nos reves d'avant
Maintenant que i'on vit
Derriere tous ees ecrans
Ou sont les mots qui etaient des poemes
Pour dire je t'aime
Qui s'en souvient autour d'un piano blane

On se retrouvait dans ta chambre
Dans un cinema. i'important c'etait d'tre ensemble
Aujourd'hui on a rendez-vous
Une semaine a l'avance
A peine si on n'se dit pas vous
Ou sont les mots qui s'en allaient en week-end
Pour dire je t'aime
Qui se souvient de ees choses entre nous

Refrain:
Moi, je m'en souviens
De nos dix-sept ans
Les nuits se changeaient en matin
Dans la fumee des cigarettes
Une guitare a la main
Il ne manquait pas un accord
A cette chanson qui disait au refrain
Remember.remember

On aurait du rester comme ca
Poete et musicien
Puisqu'on ne savait faire que ca
L'amour change i'amour oublie
L'un de nous sous la pluie
A mesure que le temps s'en va
Quels sont les mots qui nous ont trahis quand meme
Pour dire je t'aime
Qui s'en souvient quand ce n'etait plus toi

Refrain:
Moi, je m'en souviens
De nos dix-sept ans
Les nuits se changeaient en matin
Dans la fumee des cigarettes
Une guitare a la main
Il ne manquait jamais trois notes
A nos refrains
Pour dire je t'aime
J'aimais ce temps et moi je m'en souviens
Remember.remember

Come into my life and we will walk the road together
Happy with you i know i'll be
Someday you'll find me so that i'll belong to you

Prepare yourself so to receive the love i give you
Happy to share now i'm aware of how much i need you
To be part of me oh can't you see that

Summer rain will come again so the
Harvest is a good one
But if you don't respond to me i am lost
You're the only hope i have to bring
Forth the fruit in season
Now i know i need you to survive

You, you are my dream - you make it seem
So very real
Taking my time, making me rhyme
When i'm walking again to find i cannot see the one
To whom i call - that i may be no more alone again
Happy to share now i'm aware of how much
I need you to be part of me oh can't you see that

Summer rain will come again so the
Harvest is a good one
But if you don't respond to me i am lost
You're the only hope i have to bring
Forth the fruit in season
Now i know i need you to survive

Come on pretty baby, let's move it and groove it
Well a shake-a baby shake, oh! honey please don't lose it.

It's rhythm that "gets you" heart and soul
Let me tell you baby; it's called rock an'roll.

They say, it's gonna die: oh! honey bee let's face it;
They just don't know what's-a goin' to replace it.

Ballads' and calypsos', they've got nothing on real
Country music that drives along.

Come one honey, move it
Well, let's move
Well, move it


The new second verse:

Come on pretty baby let's move it an' a groove it
Dance honey dance baby please don't lose it
Cos' all over town there's a brand new beat
An' it's hangin' in the air like the mississippi heat
Fireflies in the night an' bullfrogs croakin'
Well here comes the train an' boy is she smokin'
Headed out from new orleans 'n' clear to l.a.
Ya' better get ready it's a brand new day

Honey move it

You've come up in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of your life
Like you always said you would
But whatever happened to the girl i used to know
And all those halcyon days of love

You've come up in the world
And it's such a shame
You made a success of a dream
But it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and
Your condescending ways
And all to frequent nights alone

I've come down in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of my life
But you've thrown it all away
For your books and your fancy talk
Your new-found friends and all
Your theories on mankind and society

You say you'd really like to know me
Why don't we meet and you will show me
Here's the note you hope i'll read it
Take your number if i need it
Someone said it's hard to find out
What it is i think about
I'm good at smiles and easy phrases
Don't look too close i don't like gazes

Now you see me, now you don't
Understand me then you won't
I'm in vision i'm on stage
I'm 17 i don't look my age

I share a word you know i mean it
You give a smile you know i've seen it
Across the rooms our eyes keep meeting
Music is my special greeting
Another night, another town
It's all so quick, it spins me round

Now you see me, now you don't
Understand me then you won't
I'm in vision i'm on stage
I'm 17 i don't look my age

When did you becomethe topic of conversation,
When did you become this country's
Popular myth
Seems that overnight you caught
Everybody's attention
Everybody sings about you and your name
Bounces off their lips

When did you become superstar of
This generation
And when did you become commercial property
Everybody's got their own sweet lord,
Hear them sing
Looking here, looking there but they just don't
Seem sweet

Were you a guru, a godly man,
Or where you a genius, the best in the land

I read in the paper that you were back in fashion
Amongst the famous men you were high on the list
Don't they realise that fashion's a passing fancy

The truth is yesterday, today, forever
You'll be staying
Yesterday, today, forever never wavering
You stated who you were and that will
Never change
Like it or not you'll always be the same
Son of god

Like it or not, yesterday, today, forever (x6)
Yesterday, today, forever, like it or not

Funny how she still remembers
Those words of love that got him nowhere
Even though she knows he's calling
She never finds the way to show her feelings
She doesn't mind the hours she's keeping
He's waking when she's sleeping
For him it means so much to hear her voice

She's home tonight
Silver's home tonight
And in the morning light
She'll feel much better
Home tonight, she'll stay home tonight
She'll be sleeping light
Till he calls her again

Even though they didn't know it
Standing in the shadow love was waiting
She'd been his friend for such a long time
But never told the boy her heart was breaking
Silver had no way of knowing
That secretly his love was growing
And now he's coming back to stay

She's home tonight
Silver's home tonight
And in the morning light
They're gonna be together
Home tonight, silver's home tonight
She can hear him saying "i'll never leave you again"

She could only wait
Till the time was right
It was never too late

She's home tonight
Silver's home tonight
And in the morning light
They're gonna be together
Home tonight
Silver's home tonight
She can hear him saying "i'll never leave you again"

Tonight there's a magic that i cant explain

Tune-up and start the show all set now ready to go
This band's gonna really rock tonight
Steppin' out upon the stage
Under those lights again
We're gonna shake the place tonight

They gotta new song high in the charts you know
You must have heard them play it on the radio
When that flat top starts that picking
Hear the bass drum start that kicking
The joint is really jumpin' now
Ooh mama it's so exiting to feel
That tension rising when they turn the house lights down
It's a strange kinda magic that never seems to age

Makin' history
Makin' history
Adding a new leaf to the story that is rock'n'roll
Makin' history
Makin' history
Playing a new beat to the glory
That is rock'n'roll
Rock on

They gotta new song
High in the charts you know
You must have heard them play it on the radio
Hear the start and the jumbo gibson
You don't know what you're missing if you're not
Painting the town tonight
Ooh mama it's so exiting to feel
That tension rising when they turn the house lights down

Makin' history

Mama it's so exiting-oh oh
Don't you find the beat exiting

Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive our sins
As we forgive each one of those
Who sins against us
And lead us not to the time of trial
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory

Let all the people say amen
In every tribe and tongue
Let every heart's desire be joined
To see the kingdom come
Let every hope and every dream
Be born in love again
Let all the world sing with one voice
Let the people say amen

Looking at baby's face i saw the plight of the
Human race
Dying to survive
Shaken by the irony the anger rose inside of me
And would not, would not subside
I thought you're too young to understand
That the fate of every mortal man
Rests in someone's mortal hand tonight
In the nuclear insanity there's a death watch
On the land and sea
And i believe that we may never live our lives

We were born under the gun and just like
Every mother's son
We are hostage to the megaton and the world
Could die tonight
Under the gun, we live in fear that the end
Will come
But there's one place to run
Run to the son

Everyone can see that the hour is late
And every soul on earth got to demonstrate
Their loving if we're to survive
'cos we're tired of living on the brink
Scared to death that our ship will sink
At the winking of an eye
This course we're on's a big mistake

'cos we all lose in the nuclear race
It's time to show all the heads of state that we
Believe
Yes we believe that we're fighting for our lives
We were born under the gun and just like
Every mother's son
We are hostage to the megaton and the world
Could die tonight
Under the gun, we live in fear that the end
Will come
But there's one place to run
Run to the son

There's a finger on the button but if it's
Pressed we're not forgotten
Millions speak, feel no fear
The mood to change is in ascendance here
There's a finger on the button but if it's
Pressed we're not forgotten
Millions speak, feel no fear
The mood to change is in ascendance here
There's a finger on the button but if it's
Pressed we're not forgotten
There's a finger on the button but if it's
Pressed we're not forgotten

I'm thinking 'bout moving in,
Commit myself to you, forget where i've been,
I'm thinking thinking 'bout moving in,
I'm thinking 'bout making my stand,
And i know i could do it,
If you give me your hand,
I'm thinking 'bout making my stand
Making my stand,
You changed my world,
And you stood in my doorway,
You changed my life,
When you stepped into my mind,
Used to think that there was no future before me,
Now you say that i can leave my past behind
Now you say that i can leave my past behind
Behind
Don't understand why you do what you do
You keep giving your love,
We give nothing to you,
You keep giving your love,
We give nothing to you,
Used to think that there was no future before me,
Now you say that i can leave my past behind
Now you say that i can leave my past behind
Behind
Don't understand why you do what you do
You keep giving your love,
We give nothing to you,
You keep giving your love,
We give nothing to you,

Here i am thinking 'bout moving in,
Making my stand,
Here i am thinking 'bout moving in,
Making my stand.

As i look around me i see the world
In a different light
Everything is changing and it happened
One night
Changing for the better and it starts
With you and me
So we'll sing our song together and forever
We'll be free

Sing a song of freedom
People together everybody sing
Sing a song of freedom each and everyman
People come together all across the land

If you're looking for an answer
It's very close hand
Just take a look around you and
Then you'll understand
Clap your hands together and let
Me hear the sound
It's the time for liberation so pass
The world around

Chestnuts roasting on a open fire,
Jack frost nipping at your nose.
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed like eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some misletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that santa's on his way,
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,
And every mother's child is gonna spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so, i'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety two.
Altho's it's been said many times many ways,
Merry christmas to you.

Altho's it's been said many times many ways,
Merry christmas to you.

I don't know how to love you.
Where do i begin.
It helplessness is sinning
Then here i am a sinner
Guilty of sin.

I don't know how to help you
Your trouble goes so deep
You're about to lose your life
And here i am dejected
'cos i love a night of sleep.

Love one another you said
Come together as one.
I'm just a servant, lord
Yet you made me a son
Sometimes i'm troubled
By the things you make me see.
But no matter how i feel, lord
Here am i send me.

So i leave the world behind me
And enter this domain.
I'm staggered by the gulf
Between us.
I can see your sickness
But i don't feel your pain.

Pity's got no power
Compassion has the heart
Jesus, keep me mindful
That it's you who does the
Giving.
And it's we who need to
Play our part.

The wheels forever spinning
The dice are thrown and scatter
The words are all of winning
But only numbers matter

We bet on our existence
We'll last another round
The lucky go the distance
The losers go to ground

From birth to death we gamble
The lots are daily cast
No warning or preamble
Which one will be your last

There is a great comfort in pure hatred
For envy's not enough, not enough
The soothing joy of malice
Is made of sterner stuff, sterner stuff
The failure of a father
The torment of a son
Is a recipe to justify
The worst that could be done

He'll destroy us unless we call a halt
Should the bastard steal our birthright
It will be our fault

The race is won by cunning
A terrifying dance
Too complex in the running
To leave it all to chance

But chance is all we're given
So chances we must take
The gambler's stake is driven
Through hearts that dare not break

But all save one are broken
As fatal points are scored
And one surviving token
Holds sway across the board

There's a moment when the game's balance
Tilts the other way, the other way
When the odds begin to favour
Outsiders in the play, in the play
The failure of incumbents
The sleazy tricks they use
Mean that those who think they call
The tune can only lose

Deal the cards, it won't matter how they fall
Because nothing is a gamble when you want it all

I'm gonna find true love
This new year

January blues
The nights are dark and cold
The heartaches are frozen so they hount you

February snows
Abandoned cars and glowing fires
Sunlight from a shining spire blinds you

Don't you depend on love that's here then gone
Don't you look back to where the tears came from

This new year
We're gonna make it work now and for a lifetime
This new year
Gonna spread the word and shout it from the rooftops
Gonna find true love and cherish it, cherish it always
This new year

Cool winds in the spring
Blow the cobwebs out
Take away the doubts with freedom

Hear this beating heart
The feeling so alive
With you right by my side i'll never die lonely

We must depend on love that's here to stay
And jesus loves you more than you can say

This new year
We're gonna make it work now and for a lifetime
This new year
We're gonna spread the word and shout it from the rooftops
We're gonna find true love and cherish it, cherish it always

We'll see a new revival call yeah
We'll reach out to the broken ones
We'll tell it to the world
To every boy and girl that love has come

This new year
We're gonna find true love
Ooh cherish it
This new year
We're gonna make it work now and for a lifetime
This new year
We're gonna spread the word and shout it from the rooftops
This new year
We 're gonna find true love and cherish it always
This new year
We're gonna reach out to this new year

There are times - when you know
Love is lost to he who hesitates and you've got that
Feeling now you know it too well
Say o.k. - to your dreams
Never let that chance go by again
If it's love you need then listen and listen well

You've got to run like a young love
You've got to love like young love
Believe me you'll be a young love
You don't need to be anymore
You can think like a young love
Be strong like a young love
You can run like a young love
You don't need to be anymore

Live it now - everyday
'cos you know there is no better way
And in time you'll understand it's all in your heart
Lightning strikes - in the rain
But you know inside you're strong again
You can hear the thunder roll
But you stand apart

You've got to run like a young love
You can love like young love
Believe me you'll be a young love
You don't need to be anymore
As long as you think like a young love
Be strong like a young love
You can run like a young love
You don't need to be anymore

You look so sad - like you lost your only friend
Don't feel so bad - you can always try again
So don't hide, go seek, don't let the grass grow
Under your feet
Get out, get up, get on, get moving out
Don't surrender - don't give up the fight

You give a little bit more
If you want her back - it's a full attack
You give a little bit more
And if you wanna win you don't give in you
Give a little bit more
When you think you're through what you gotta do is
Give a little bit more

She said goodbye
So tell yourself that's all
(that's all, she's gone)
But your hands ain't tied
Why you make yourself so small (don't think so small)
So don't hide - go seek - don't let the grass grow
Under your feet
Get out - get up - get on - get moving out
Don't surrender - don't give up the fight

You give a little bit more
If you want her back - it's a full attack
You give a little bit more
And if you wanna win you don't give in
Give a little bit more
When you think you're through what you gotta do you
Give a little bit more

Don't give up the fight - you gotta keep on
Going with all you might
Try hard don't stop - gotta keep on giving it
All you got
Never give up - never give up - never say die
Believe in, can reach the top
Gotta give it a shot don't say no gotta
Get in the flow

So don't hide go seek
Don't runaway - get back on your feet
Get out - get up - get on - get moving out
Don't surrender - don't give up the fight

You give a little bit more
If you want her back - it's a full attack
You give a little bit more
And if you wanna win you don't give in
Give a little bit more
When you think you're through what you gotta do
Give a little bit more

ocean deep

Love can't you see i'm alone
Can't you give this fool a chance
A little love is all i ask - a little kindness
In the night
>Let's have sex
No - don't tell me love is blind
A little vagina is all i ask and that is all

Oh love i've been searching so long
I've been searching high'n'low
A little love is all i ask - a little sadness
When you're gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don't let's pretend
A little love is all i ask and that is all

I wanna spread my wings - but i just can't fly
As a string of pearls and pretty girls go sailing by

Ocean deep - i'm so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my -
Solitary room
Ocean deep - will i ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as i cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine i'll keep - ocean deep

Love can't you hear when i call
Can't you hear a word i say
A little love is all i ask
A little feeling when we touch
Why am i still alone?
I've got a heart without a home
A little love is all i ask - and that is all

I wanna spread my wings - but i just can't fly
As a string of pearls and pretty girls go sailing by

Ocean deep - i'm so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings - in my -
Solitary room
Ocean deep - will i ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as i cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine i'll keep - ocean deep

I'm so lonely lonely lonely...
Maybe..

She looks at me
Like i'm the only one
Our hearts meet
She moves into mine
I lie there at night
Just hearing her breathing
I taste every breath she takes
I'm her hero she says
But i'm not sure why

She makes me feel like a man
She puts a little bit of heaven in me
I'm so lucky to see her sweet face when i wake
She makes me feel like a man

I can't recall that she
Asked me for anything
As long as i wake by her side
When i hold her real close
Her heart's like racing train
Racing with the beat of mine
But it don't mean a thing
Unless she's with me

She makes me feel like a man
She puts a little bit of heaven in me
I'm so lucky to see her sweet face when i wake
She makes me feel like a man

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones i used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen,
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
With every christmas card i write.
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmas's be white.

The firt step to heaven
I will take in my life
I am not afraid when
I can hold you tight
If there must be an answer
Then there must be a prayer
And you must be the angel
When you're standing there
So i lean on you, i lean on you

My life is such a statement
Of my hopes and despairs
But nothing really matters
Just as long as you're there
You love me such honesty,
You love with no gain
You speak to me so tender
And you never explain
So i lean on you, i lean on you

My baby she cares
It's so easy to do
My baby she tells me what to do
She always tells me the truth
My baby she cares
It's so easy to do
My baby knows what i'm gonna do
That's why i lean on you

I dream of an island,
Of a fantasy place
Where i can go to sometimes
And nobody can trace
Well such is the nature,
The nature of love
That when we dream it
Sometimes means that we need love
So i lean on you, i lean on you

My baby she cares
It's so easy to do
My baby she tells me what to do
She always tells me the truth
My baby she cares
It's so easy to do
My baby knows what i'm gonna do
That's why i lean on you

So i lean on you, i lean on you
I lean on you, so i lean on you

(repeat chorus)

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

We've kissed the kids goodnight,
We've got their stockings by the fire.
A flame lights up the room and hand in hand,
We watch it start to snow.

The lights glow on the tree,
And we drink last hot coffee.
Your head's upon my shoulder,
And they just played misletoe and wine on the radio.

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

If i listen to you then i'm a winner,
If i take you at your word every day.
There's nothing that can harm me i'm a winner
All the way,
If i take notice of what the words tell me,
It's not too long before i'm caught out in the
Rain
You're the only one who can take me back again.

Taking me back, making me one with you,
Taking me back, making me new.
Taking me back, even when i've been done
With you,
Taking me back, you keep pulling me through,
To the love that won't give up - with you
I'm a winner
Here i am i'm a winner

See my world turned it upside down,
Maybe know that i'm nothing without you.
Got a brand new style of living with a
Motivation,
When i know my way losing my direction.
That's when i get hurt with no one else to
Blame
You're the only one who can heal me taking me
Back again.

Taking me back, making me one with you,
Taking me back, making me new.
Taking me back, even when i've been done
With you,
Taking me back, you keep pulling me through,
To the love that won't give up here i am a
Winner
Here i am i'm a winner.

If i listen to you then i'm a winner,
If i take you at your word every day.
There's nothing that can harm me i'm a
Winner all the way,

Taking me back, making me one with you,
Taking me back, making me new.
Taking me back, even when i've been done
With you,
Taking me back, you keep pulling me through,
To the love that won't give up.

You keep taking me back, making me one
With you,
Taking me back, making me new.
Taking me back, even when i've been done
With you,
Taking me back, you keep pulling me through,
To the love that won't give up.

Once they were lovers but now they're not friends
She's found another and he says it's the end
To think they once tore down a wall for a door
But now they don't speak anymore

So he walks the streets, the few nights he can stand
Drinking her memory away when he can
Friends once would reach out to them from the shore
But now they don't cry anymore

How does it all come to happen
That's not what loving is for
And if i thought it was,i would leave here in the morning
I'd sooner sleep on the floor

Oh when will we learn really what loving is
It's not what you get in return but what you give
To think they once tore down a wall for a door
But now they don't speak anymore

Five days a week i'm just a-biding my time.
Fill in the hours till the weekend's mine.
All day long i've got my radio on.
Keeps me going till my work is done.

Chorus:
Monday through to friday.
Nothing goes my way.
Just working staying alive.
Monday.through to sunday.
There's only one day.
Saturday is rock'n'roll time.

Work for the man just to get my pay.
Too many hours in the workig day.
Dead on my feet but i need the cash.
Roll on saturday make it fast.

Chorus: repeated

I pay my dues to the union man.
Don't get too heavy.that's the way i am.
I live for rock'n'roll and saturday night.
I hear the music and i feel alright.feel alright.

Chorus: repeated

Some people they tease one another
Take pride in themselves
Keeping the other one down
Well i'm not like that at all

Some people they hurt one another
They love to see
Hurt in the other one's eyes
Well i'm not like that at all

Some people are born for each other
They love to walk
Holding the other one's hand
They always understand
Some people cry
Some people know why

Oh ah ah
Some people they use one another
So aimlessly
Not like lovers do
Well i'm not like that at all

Some people they long for each other
They love to walk
Holding the other one's hand
They always understand
Some people cry
Some people know why

With a word unspoken
With a voice unheard
When a thought is broken
By a tender word
When a heart is moved
When a heart is thrown
The silence tells you
You're not alone

Some people are born for each other...

(some people are born for each other)
They love to walk holding the other one
(some people they long for each other)
They love to talk holding theother one
(some people are born for each other)
They love to walk holding the other one
Holding the other one
Holding each other

I'm just a little tin soldier in your hands
I'm good for nothing but to obey your commands
You've never really loved me i know
So wind me up let me go

I'm just a play thing till you see someone else
And then you leave me alone on the shelf
But even tin soldiers have hearts don't you know
So wind me up let me go

You don't really need me you've a hundred other toys
And tear drops don't look good in the eyes of soldier boys

So pick me up and hold me one more time
That's just consolation for this heart of mine
Whisper a sweet word to the one who loves you
So then wind me up let me go
Then wind me up let me go

Visions of you in shades of blue

Smoking, shifting, lazily drifting,
My darling, I miss you so.

Time goes by, no wonder my
Senses go reeling, your eyes so appealing
I see the whole night through.

When will we meet again? When? When? When?
When will we meet again? When? When? When?

I remember the days, beautiful days
Tenderly gleaming, my whole life seeming
To start and end with you.

Visions of you in shades of blue
Smoking, shifting, lazily drifting,
My darling, I miss you so.

When will we meet again? When? When? When?
When will we meet again? When? When? When?

I remember the days, beautiful days
Tenderly gleaming, my whole life seeming
To start and end with you.

You better look out
You're not living in a bad dream now
Open your eyes
You'll survive another day somehow

After the night
There's a morning and a clear blue sky
You can be sure
You can make it and i'll tell you why

You're walking in your sleep
Hey that's all right
But don't you spend the whole night
Uptight
I'm here to lend a hand
Hey don't you understand

One chance is for taking
One heart is for breaking
One love is for making
Lovers and friends

One game is for playing
One prayer is for praying
One day is for staying
Lovers and friends
Lovers and friends

You better wake up
'cos every day you waste is time gone by
Up on your feet
You can take it but you gotta try

After the night
There's a morning and a clear blue sky
You can be sure
You can make it and i'll tell you why

You're walking in your sleep
Hey that's all right
But don't you spend the whole night
Uptight
I'm here to lend a hand
Hey don't you understand

One chance is for taking
One heart is for breaking
One love is for making
Lovers and friends

One game is for playing
One prayer is for praying
One day is for staying
Lovers and friends
(repeat from 'one chance' to end)

Refrain:
The cances you gave me,
A definite maybe,
But luck she's a lady,stayed
She played for me.

There's gold in the mountain,
Good fortune for countin',
Three coins in the fountain,
And my luck won't change,
Take dust from the coalmine,
Make dust from the goldmine,
King midas you're sidelined,
And my luck won't change no my luck remains.

Chorus:
No point in shouting,
Whoever there was doudting,
I'm at the top of the mountain,
And my luck won't change.
The stock market read it,
The rumours they spread it,
And i meant it when i said it,
That my luck won't change,
No my luck remains.

That old lover lost me,
She spent and she cost me,
My new love has taught me,
That my luck won't change.

(my luck won't change-my luck remains)

Refrain:
The offer she made me,
Was more than just maybe,
But luck who's a lady stayed,
She played for me.
Repeat 1st verse

Chorus:
My temperature's rising,
No point in disguising,
The phoenix is arising,
And my luck won't change-no it just remains.
My luck,my luck won't change.

Now we have been through the harvest
Winter has truly begun
Now we have walked in the chill of the night
We are waiting for, waiting for
For the saviour's day

Many have come from the valleys
Many have come from the hills
Many have started their journey home
To be with someone with someone
On the saviour's day

Open your eyes on saviour's day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you'll only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the saviours day

Here's to the god of the present
Here's to the god of the past
Here's to the hope in the future he brings
We will sing to him, sing to him
On the savior's day

Joining the old and the young ones
Joining the black and the white
Meeting the need of the hungry is he
We will ever remember him
On the saviour's day

Open your eyes on saviour's day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you'll only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the saviours day

If i said i loved you
What would you say?
If i said i needed you
Would it frighten you away?
If i said i loved you
And i wanted you to be
My one and only lover
Eternally.

Chorus
You and me and jesus
Jesus, me and you;
On our own we'd break,
With him we'll make it through.
Jesus, take us, make us
What you want us both to be;
I give myself to her,
She gives herself to me.

Love is really fragile
And if it's going to last
We've got to start by giving jesus
Future, present, past
I ache the way i love you
But, babe, it's sink or swim
And when we look back years from now
We're gonna owe it all to him.

Chorus
You and me and jesus
Jesus, me and you;
On our own we'd break,
With him we'll make it through.
Jesus, take us, make us
What you want us both to be;
I give myself to her,
She gives herself to me.

When she's got her eye on you - there's no escape
She keeps unnoticed - hidden under her cape
She shows no mercy - no - she plays it rough but
She don't want your money - she just wants your love

Better call the cops - better call the cops

Or the love stealer will rob you-
Leave you there on the shelf

Better call the cops - better call the cops
Better call the police
Better come quick - better come quick

How can i bear this? show me
How can i survive
Trapped in your madness
With no hope of release? oh -
Do i just wait for
Your demons to arrive?
Blaming me for your ills
While you rest in peace

You are marked with death
By your cruel lies
You deserve all this
You betrayed me
With your final breath
You will still despise
Every tear or kiss
You betrayed me

I shall not be tricked
Into pity for
You must know full well
That i love you
And you can't inflict
Any pain that's more
Than this living hell
But i love you

I see the eyes that deceived
Poor wasted hands growing cold
No lover's comfort
No belief to hold
You have killed yourself

Yours the infernal
Original sin
Mine the misfortune
Of your heartless caprice - oh -
Do i just wait for
All your devils to move in?
Blaming me for your death
While you rest in peace

I am marked for life
And the peace i crave
Is a fool's conceit
I am branded
And you'll twist the knife
From beyond the grave
And i fall, retreat
Empty handed

I shall not be tricked
Into pity for
You must know full well
That i love you
And you can't inflict
Any pain that's more
Than this living hell
But i love you

I see the eyes that betrayed
Poor wasted hands growing cold
No lover's comfort
No belief to hold
You are marked with death

How can i convince you
That you broke your own heart?
How can i forgive you
For the murderous part
You played in destroying
Your love and your life
And mine ...

I shall not be tricked
Into pity for
You must know full well
That i love you
And you can't inflict
Any pain that's more
Than this living hell
But i love you

I see the eyes that deceived
Poor wasted hands growing cold
No lover's comfort
No belief to hold
I am marked for life

You are marked with death ...

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can i believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that i'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun

I like to know that your love
Is love i can be sure of
So tell me now and i won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow

So tell me now and i won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow

Love show me the way when i am lost and hope begins
To fade
Love timeless and true whenever
I need strenght
I look to you
Tonight my faith is strong enough to see me through
Tonight you've got to trust in love the way i do
We gotta hold on tight-tonight

Hold on - nothing's gonna stop us if we just
Believe in love
Hold on - there's nothing under heaven we can't overcome-
Hold on

Now i see the way the tide'll turn and
The part i'll play
(it's) all part of a plan - you don't have to know
Or understand tonight i'll see it all unfold before my eyes
Tonight - with fortune on my side and love to
Guide me
The future is looking bright - tonight

Hold on - nothings gonna stop us if we just
Believe in love
Hold on - there's nothing under heaven we can't
Overcome so hold on
And tho' the road ahead maybe unknown we'll
Make it if we hold on

The weather man, he looks confused.
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do.
But you don't remember things like that, do you?
The balance was uneven but i'm breaking through.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought i'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

The winter here don't belive in god,
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog.
I still see in your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog,
But one foot in your door, oh that's all i ever got.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought i'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

Chances are you'll reappear.
Swim my way in a flood of tears,
No place to hide your conscience
So you're a sinking ship with no place to go.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought i'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

From here to eternity where time cannot reach
What is the lesson that life has to teach
Don't try to find it for the answer will come
In the message of love on the wings on the sun

A heart that is searching will find a new place
The wind is warm on the innocent face
A fledgling of love who has only just begun
To waken from dreams while she is still young

While she's young her heart is free
You gotta treat her tenderly
While she's young she's looking for someone who cares

Trust and understanding while she is still young
This fledgling of love has only just begun
Now to understand the questions of her mind
Cos now she is searching for someone who is kind

While she's young her heart is free
You gotta treat her tenderly
While she's young she's looking for someone who cares

Your love is like a prison wall
And it's getting higher
I get so far and then i fall
I can't get through the wire

Oh oh oh i'm locked inside your prison
Oh oh oh i'm locked inside your prison

It's as though i'm doing time
And you won't free me
Let the punishment befit the crime
And say you need me

Oh oh oh i'm locked inside your prison
Oh oh oh i'm locked inside your prison

Save me save me can't you see i'm innocent
Turn the key that will set me free
Please let it end oh let it end

Oh oh oh i'm locked inside your prison
Oh oh oh i'm locked inside your prison

Save me save me can't you see i'm innocent
Turn the key that will set me free
Please let it end won't you let it end

I'll dig a tunnel to your heart
Let me remind you
Even gonna tear the walls apart
Until i find you

Oh oh oh i'm locked inside your prison
Oh oh oh i'm locked inside your prison

I wish you'd change your mind and stay
It's really much too late to play games
All i want is just to talk with you
I'll even sing it if you want me to

You know my motives are sincere
And the love's the reason that we're here
Seeing you just makes me want to say
Won't you change your mind for me and stay

I just want to feel your arms about me
Is that too much to ask or do
You think that i'd be asking too much

I wish you'd change your mind and stay
It's really much too late to play games
All i want is just to talk with you
I'll even sing it if you want me to

Satin sheets in her bedroom
Picasso hung in the hall
Only cover for a secret lover
Who she's expecting to call

Oooh-though the lady tries
She can't hide the gipsy inside

She's a gipsy, and the lady's her disguise
She's a gipsy, see the fire in her eyes
And she'd sell off all her diamond rings,
The rubies and the pearls
If she could buy the freedom of a gipsy girl

She never touches her steinway
Plays the tables instead
Oooh-win or lose she still leaves with only
A dream to take her to bed

Oooh-though the lady tries
She can't hide the gipsy inside

She's a gipsy, and the lady's her disguise
She's a gipsy, see the fire in her eyes
And she'd sell off all her diamond rings,
The rubies and the pearls
If she could buy the freedom of a gipsy girl

Oooh-though the lady tries
She can't hide the gipsy inside

She's a gipsy, and the lady's her disguise
She's a gipsy, see the fire in her eyes
And she'd sell off all her diamond rings,
The rubies and the pearls
If she could buy the freedom of a gipsy girl

Ooh i'd like to tell you something that's playing on my mind
I don't know how to tell you, so i'll take my time
I believe, i believe it's not just in my mind
Something i'm dreaming to take up the time
There's no escape - i don't want to be free
I believe that it must be love

Having trouble sleeping, you're always on my mind
When it comes to dreamin' i get left behind
I believe, i believe there's no doubt in my mind
There's no use pretending i'm hooked on your line
Words of the heart don't come easy to me
I believe that it must be love

You got me tied to a railroad track
Your love's the train - there's no turning it back
I've told you how i feel, i've laid it on the line
Got to take your love and make you feel that you're mine

I believe, i believe it's not just in my mind
Something i'm dreaming to take up the time
There's no escape - i don't want to be free
I believe that it must be love

It must be love
It must be love yeah etc..

The water is wide i can't cross over
And neither have i got wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and i

Oh love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But the only love never waxing cold
Is the love he offers to me and you

Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and i

There's a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
And even deeper than the love i'm in
If i step on board then our love begins
Got to step on board let our love begin
(water is wide and i've got to cross over)

Have yourself a merry little christmas,
Let your heart be light.
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself a merry little christmas,
Make the yuletide gay.
Next year all our troubles will be miles away.

Once again as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who were dear to us,
Will be near to us once more.

Someday soon we all will be together,
If the fates allow.
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow.
So have yourself a merry little christmas now.

Itemise the things you
Covet as you squander
Through your life.
Bigger cars, bigger
Houses, term insurance
For your wife.
Tuesday evenings with your harlot,
And on wednesdays it's
Your sharlatan analyst,
He's high upon your list.
You got air conditioned
Surmises and dark, disturbing doubts
About religion.
And you keep those cards
And letters going out.
And while your
Secretary's tempting you
Your morals are exepting
You from guilt and shame,
Heaven knows
You're not to blame!

You better take care of
Business, mr. businessman,
What's your plan?
Get down to business,
Mr. businessman, if you can
Before it's too late,
And they throw your life away.

Did you see your children
Growing up today,
And did you hear the
Music of their laughter
As they set about to play?
And did you smell the
Fragrance of those roses
In your garden?
Did the morning sunlight
Warm your soul and
Brighten up your day?
Do you qualify to be
Alive or is the limit
Of your senses
So as only to survive?

Spending counterfeit
Incentive, wasting
Precious time and health.
Placing values on the
Worthless, disregarding
Priceless wealth.
Well, you can wheel and
Deal the best of them
And steal it from the rest of them.
You know the score,
Their ethics are a bore.
86 proof anesthetic crotches
Brought you to the top
Where the smiles are all synthetic
And the ulcers never stop
When they take that final inventory
Yours will be the same
Sad story everywhere -
Noone will really care. noone more lonely than
This rich important man.
Let's have your autograph
And else your epitaph!

You better take care...
................if you can!

The minute you're gone i cry
The minute you're gone i die
Before you walk out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night
I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone
I see
How lonely a man i'll be
My life would be oh so blue
If i couldn't be with you

The minute you're gone i pray
The minute you're gone i say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone

Now that the past has ended
My life's an open door
I know that we could have been mended
Oh but i can't take the hurt anymore

Can't take the hurt anymore
Ooh ooh can't take the hurt anymore

The rainbow's over
But i've seen it leave before
A love that's been left in the corner
Ooh cos i can't take the hurt anymore

Can't take the hurt anymore
Ooh ooh can't take the hurt anymore

Lady of my lady's
Can't we find the right
And leave behind the sorrow
Lady of my lady's
Can't we find the light
Bright enough to guide us

Can't take the hurt anymore
Ooh ooh can't take the hurt anymore

This love grows older
But i've felt it all before
Yesterday's over my shoulder
Ooh cos i can't take the hurt anymore

Can't take the hurt anymore
Ah ah can't take the hurt anymore

My love i found has lost it's crown
But i just can't leave it die
I fool myself and no one else
Cos i would if i could and i try

Can't take the hurt anymore etc....

Go swiftly
The flags and drums can hypnotise
When glory has faded the dream
Is worth more than the prize
A twisting turning flame
And a freedom burning bright
Knows all of the names
And all of the games
Of the yellow black and white
We've gotta have faith
To work it out
Faith and hope
Without any doubt
Give us strenght to make a start
Put a song in our hearts.....

Chorus:
We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with the stone
'cos you and i know what love is worth
We're gonna build heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time

Softly, softly
When there is lightening in the sky
When the rivers are rising and
Trouble rolls in on the tide
We'll keep on keeping on
'til all the tears are dry
We'll weather the storm and
Welcome the dawn
Of tomorrow you and i
We've gotta have faith
And get it fast, faith and hope
And make it last
Give us strength
To reach the stars
Put a song in our hearts

Repeat chorus

Solo

We're raisin' the dust
It's heaven or bust
And we'll see this dream come true
We're gonna have faith.....(faith)
The road will be long
But there's hope.....(hope)
To carry us on
We'll have strength....(strength)
We'll never go wrong
With this song in our hearts

Repeat chorus

At the sign (sign)
Of the dove
It's gonna shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
On a wing
And a prayer
We'll be fine
Fine
Fine

Repeat chorus 'til fade

Came a time in my life
I had to be free
From all the lies
That used to be you
And the only way out is the only way in
And it's you

I've been waisting my time
But not anymore
I've been through the maze
And it lead to your door
And the only way out is the only way in
And it's you
I spent a lot of time at the crossroads
Getting that lonely feeling inside
Suddenly you stopped the rain
And you changed the view
Now every where's leading to you

Let's get this thing going
Let's move it along
Let me do all the things
I've been missing so long
'cos the only way out is the only way in
And it's you

I spent a lot of time at the crossroads
Getting that lonely feeling inside
Suddenly you made the rescue
You pulled me through
Now let me do something for you
Let's get this thing going
Let's move it along
Let's do all the things
I've been missing so long
And the only way out is the only way in
And it's you

Yeah the only way out is the only way in
And it's you

Who can see beyond tonight
I don't know what's wrong or right
But when i say i love you
I'm shooting from the heart

Wish i knew a better way
I hate to use an old cliche
But when i say i love you
I'm shooting from the heart

I'm just a man of simple words
Living tonight for all it's worth

All i've got is honesty
Touching you is touching me and
When i say i love you
I'm shooting from the heart
Yeah when i say i love you
I'm shooting from the heart

I'm just a man of simple words
Living tonight for all it's worth

I'm just a man of simple words
Living tonight for all it's worth

All these feelings coming out
The only thing i'm sure about
Is when i say i love you
I'm shooting from the heart
When i say i love you
I'm shooting from the heart

When i say i love you
I'm shooting from the heart...

She locks the bedroom door - lies face down on the bed
Hears voices down the hall - are they real or in her head
Pictures on the wall - reminders every one
Just memories of the past - of a time that's
Been and gone
All those wild and crazy nights - they still
Dance before her eyes
(those crazy nights - her name in lights)

Look at her now the golden days are over
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
She was one in a million now she's that
Forgotten face
Look at her now the golden days are over

Applauded by the press - an overnight success
A favourite with the fans - had them eating
From her hands
But stars fall from the sky - in the twinkle
Of an eye
There's no more silver screen just another
Broken dream
Still she strikes a classic pose - just in case
The cameras roll
(she steals the scene - relieves the dream)

Look at her now the golden days are over
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
She was one in a million now she's that
Forgotten face
Look at her now she needs someone to hold her
To feed her lines - someone to co-star
Someone to shine

Look at her now the golden days are over
(the golden days are over - they're over)
Look at her now no leading man to hold her
(no m.g.m. - no paramount - no 20th century)
Look at her now the golden days are over
(decline and fall - no curtain call)

Ready steady gonna meet you on the ballroom floor,
Brother eddie quit your banging on my bathroom door,
After shaving yeah and after three,
I'm after having me some fun you see,
I'm getting ready for the night to come,
And here i come.

Chorus:
I'm just a hot shot hitting town,
(have a little fun),
Just a hot shot getting down,
(ready steady run),
I'm just a hot shot looking around,
(loving on the run),
I'm having fun.

Get the recognition each and every place i go,
Fashion leader in the cuban heel and pointed toe,
My italian suit is pressed and clean,
I'm the latin lover of thelocal scene,
I'm getting ready for the night to come.

Chorus repeated.

A faded picture on the mantleshelf,
My older brother looks like myself,
Remember donny dated susie,
And susie rated johnny,
Johnny's into susie,
But susie'a into ronnie,
Ronnie waits for louie,
But louie's singing louie-lou-i.

Chorus repeated.

When i was young my father said
"son i have something to say"
And what he told me i'll never forget
Until my dyin' day.
He said "son you are a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay.
Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin' day

When i was sixteen i fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be.
But i remember'd just in time,
What my daddy said to me.
He said "son you are a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay.
Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin' day

As time goes by i propably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then i'll get married have a wife and a child
And they'll be my turtle doves.
But until then i'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way i'll stay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
Until my dyin' day.
But until then i'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way i'll stay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
Until my dyin' day.

Two sad faces tell the story
Heard so many times before
He is leaving she is staying
Neither of them know what for
There's no laughter there's no crying
There is love there's no denying
Differences led to goodbye and please remember me
And she said-i've got phone and a mail box
A front door that's unlocked
A faith in the feelings there'll be someone you forgot
True i'm gonna miss you, true i'm gonna need you
You know i'm not the one to worry
Oh but i heard the weather report
It says it's gonna be cold and lonely

So honey won't you please remember me
I'm the one that loves you
Please remember me
I'm the one that cares
Please remember me
I'll be thinking of you
And should you ever decide you wanna come home
I'll be there

This is like that old love story
Those who've lost love know it's true
She's sitting by a window waiting
He's sitting somewhere wonderin' what to do
They know they should be together
They know they should reconcile
He knew he would regret her saying please remember me
She said-you've got a home and a warm bed
A roof over your head
A place in my heart for someone i'll never forget
True i'm gonna miss you, true i'm gonna need you
You know i'm not the one to worry
Oh but i heard the weather report
It says it's gonna be cold and lonely

So honey won't you please remember me
I'm the one that loves you
Please remember me
I'm the one that cares
Please remember me
I'll be thinking of you
And should you ever decide you wanna come home
I'll be there

Oh lover won't you please remember
Won't you please remember me
Ooh lover won't you please remember
Won't you please remember me

Please don't ask me what went wrong
I never planned it to come out like this
Silent moments, thoughtless words
I never wantedthese memories

Joanna
I love you so

Don't wait for me joanna
I never meant to hurt you so
But now i have to let you go
Don't wait for me joanna
I'll always say a prayer for you
And hope some day that you
Will found true love

When as children we used to play
We sat and wondered where we'd be today
I said we'd never be apart
But now we lie among the broken hearts

Joanna
I love you so

Don't wait for me joanna
I never meant to hurt you so
But now i have to let you go
Don't wait for me joanna
I'll always say a prayer for you
And hope some day that you
Will found true love

Don't wait, no no

Joanna
I can't let go, no

Don't walk away joanna
I never meant to huert you so
But now i know i can't let you go
Don't walk away joanna
I'll always say a prayer for you
And i hope that you will find
In me true love

Imaging a still summer's day.
When nothing is moving.
Least of all me.
I lay on my back in the hay.
The warm sun was soothing.
It made me feel good.
The day i met marie.

The sound of her whisper hello.
Came tiptoing softly into my head.
I opened my eyes kinda slow.
And there she was smiling.
It made me feel good.
The day i met marie.

With the laughing eyes.
She'd toss her hair and tantalize.
She came to touch me then she's gone
Just like a summer breeze.

I remember her kiss
So soft on my brow
And the way that she said
Baby go to sleep now
Baby go to sleep now

I woke with the chill in the air
The warm sun no longer hung in the sky
I reached out but she was not there
She'd gone where she came from
But i still feel good
To think i've known marie
With the laughing eyes
She'd toss her hair and tantalize
She came to touch me then she's gone
Just like a summer breeze

I just got to tell someone about the way i feel
Shout it from the rooftop to the street
And if i spread the word please tell me who's it gonna
Hurt
I'm in love with you girl
Let me talk to the world
I feel like i'm up there riding a rocket to the moon
And i'm gonna tell them where i've been

Can't keep this feelin' in
Not for another minute
I can't hold it back
You know i'm trying to
I just gotta count the ways
You bless my days
Baby i can't keep this feelin in

Some things should be private just between
The two of us
Trust me when i say my lips are sealed
My god it's no big secret that i'm crazy
For your love
Want to put up a sign that the lady is mine
If you're superstitious i'm gonna try to
Hold it down
But i'm going out there on a limb
Can't keep this feelin' in
Not for another minute
I can't hold it back
You know i'm trying to
I just gotta count the ways
You bless my days
Baby i can't keep this feelin in

I know it's better if we take it slow
That's when the hours feel like years
I've gotta tell somebody that's all i know
If i've gotta whisper whisper in their ears

Repeat chorus out

From a distance, the world looks blue and green,
And the snow capped mountains so white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
And the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
It's the voice of every man.

From a distance, we all have enough,
And no-one is in need.
There are no guns, no bombs and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed.
For a moment we must be instruments,
Martching in a common band,
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace,
They're is the songs of every one.

God is watching us, god is watching us,
God is watching us, from a distance.

From a distance, you look like my friend,
Even though we are at war.
From a distance, i can't comprehend,
What all this war is for.
What we need is love and harmony,
Let it echo through the land.
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
It's the heart of everyone.

Me and my baby we're just going round,
Not getting on luv,not puting it down,
We had the kind of sweet affair,
We both felt we needed.

No psychic fusion,just a steady date,
No grand illusions of the romantic fates,
She looked for her,i looked for me,
Don't know why we conceded.

Chorus:
'cos we were high,now we're low,
Tell me why did we go,
Falling in luv,
Falling in luv.

Under pressure from family and friends,
They seem to treasure a storybook end,
One look at them i realise luv is real overated.

Chorus repeated.

Some fine day we'll live
Together, give together.
One fine day,
A time beyond our time.
Come that day we'll make
It if we're strong,
So help it along, help it along,
Help it along.

Please don't laugh at me
When i tell you
I believe in love,
'cos it's still
The only thing that
There is too little of.
And it's a long time coming,
But come i'm sure it will
And just in time
The world will rhyme on
The far side of a hill.

On some fine......
....... help it along.

La gonave i see your mist
La gonave well i know you're kissed
By the same sea of trouble
That stretches back home
La gonave
You've got troubles of your own

Yes i got troubles
Won't you come on and see
I got my needs just follow me
But they gonna ease by and by
If you tell all the people
That it's no lie

You only came for forty eight hours
Didn't realise how useless i was
Came to you for the nation sells lies
Lord knows but i still feel helpless

La gonave i don't feel good
La gonave do you think i should
Turn my back and walk away
La gonave tell me what to say

If i'd been at home
Would you telephone me
I'm situated across the sea
But it's a small world from any point
Of view
Spare a thought
This could have been you

You shook my senses
Took my time
Froze my feeling
Broke my mind
La gonave you've played your part
La gonave you sure got heart

Didn't leave my heart in san francisco
Didn't want to stay in omaha
Never got fooled by new york city
But i lost my heart to la gonave

Didn't leave my heart in san francisco
Didn't want to stay in omaha
Never got fooled by new york city
But i lost my heart to la gonave

Didn't leave my heart in san francisco
Didn't want to stay in omaha
Never got fooled by new york city
But i lost my heart to la gonave

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now i see.

'twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour i first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will be my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing god's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

Everybody needs to cry some
Everybody can't be wise
Everybody needs some understanding
Understanding when you cry

Everybody knows
Love doesn't always begin like this
Everybody knows
Love doesn't always end with a kiss
See i've been in love and i know
And now you've been in love and you know

Anyone who's ever hurt you
Anyone who's ever tried
Will only love you then desert you
Won't believe you when you cry

Everybody knows
Love doesn't always begin like this
Everybody knows
Love doesn't always end with a kiss
See i've been in love and i know
And now you've been in love and you know

(guitar solo)

Everybody knows
Love doesn't always begin like this
Everybody knows
Love doesn't always end with a kiss
See i've been in love and i know
And now you've been in love and you know

See i've been in love and i know
And now you've been in love and you know

Everybody needs to cry some
Everybody can't be wise
Everybody needs some understanding
Understanding when you cry

Everybody knows
Love doesn't always end like this
