Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see as she catches a train Just a face among a million faces Just another woman with no name Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special If you knew her I am sure you'd agree ’cause I know she's got a little secret Friday evening she turns out to be... Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play But she knows the fun would go away If she would play it every day So she's back every morning to her work at the office And another week to live in a dream And another row of early mornings In an almost never-ending stream Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain Everybody seems to think she's a bore But they wouldn't know her little secret What her Friday night would have in store... Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play She would like to play it every day Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play |

They came from the hills And they came from the valleys and the plains They struggled in the cold In the heat and the snow and in the rain Came to hear him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon (Sub luna saltamus) They came from the south From the west and the north and from the east They waited for the man Like a parish is waiting for the priest Longed to hear him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon (Sub luna saltamus) He gave them a dream He seduced everybody in the land The fire in his eyes And the fear was a weapon in his hand So they let him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon And we dance beneath the moon! |

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls In the twilight hour I am alone Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face In this peaceful solitude All the outside world subdued Everything comes back to me again In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room Half awake and half in dreams Seeing long forgotten scenes So the present runs into the past Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind Like the embers as they die Love was one prolonged good-bye And it all comes back to me tonight In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room I close my eyes And my twilight images go by All too soon Like an angel passing through my room |

I've seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase So now well go separate ways Never again we two Never again, nothing I can do Like an image passing by, my love, my life In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life I can see it all so clearly (see it all so clearly) Answer me sincerely (answer me sincerely) Was it a dream, a lie? Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life Are the words you try to find, my love, my life But I know I dont possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Still my one and only I've watched you look away Tell me is it really so hard to say? Oh, this has been my longest day Sitting here close to you Knowing that maybe tonight were through Like an image passing by, my love, my life In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life I can see it all so clearly (see it all so clearly) Answer me sincerely (answer me sincerely) Was it a dream, a lie? Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life Are the words you try to find, my love, my life But I know I dont possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Yes I know I dont possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Still my one and only |

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me I wasn't jealous before we met Now every man I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned Has overturned I beg of you Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me It was like shooting a sitting duck A little small talk a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied I skip my pride I beg you dear Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce I used to think that was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned Has overturned What can I do Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on [me] Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me |

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though I would have liked to begin So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable You leave and you slam the door Like you've done many times before And I cry and I feel so helpless One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me to the end Outside I can see the sun through the open window Inside everything feels so cold What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go? Sometimes when I just can't cope I cling to a desperate hope And I cry and I feel like dying One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me to the end Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up The sound of the key in the door You smile and I realize that we need a shake-up Our love is a precious thing Worth the pain and the suffering And it's never too late for changing One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me to the end You and me to the end I see the path from this dark place I see the future I see the path, I can see the path I see the future <i>(fade)</i> |

Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my heart
Now there's nothing at all that can keep us apart Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertips Things that you do, and you know I'm crazy 'bout you Kisses of fire, burning, burning I'm at the point of no returning Kisses of fire, sweet devotions Caught in a land-slide of emotions I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss Kisses of fire Kisses of fire When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong Still it's making me scared that my love is so strong Losing you is a nightmare fate and to me it's new Never before did you see me begging for more Kisses of fire, burning, burning I'm at the point of no returning Kisses of fire, sweet devotions Caught in a land-slide of emotions I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss Kisses of fire Kisses of fire Kisses of fire, burning, burning I'm at the point of no returning Kisses of fire, sweet devotions Caught in a land-slide of emotions Kisses of fire, burning, burning (I'm at the point of no returning) Kisses of fire, sweet devotions I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss (Caught in a land-slide of emotions) Kisses of fire, burning, burning I'm at the point of no returning Kisses of fire, sweet devotions Caught in a land-slide of emotions |

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls In the twilight hour I am alone Sitting near the fireplace Dying embers warm my face In this peaceful solitude All the outside world subdued Everything comes back to me again In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room Half awake and half in dreams Seeing long forgotten scenes So the present runs into the past Now and then become entwined Playing games within my mind Like the embers as they die Love was one prolonged goodbye And it all comes back to me tonight In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room I close my eyes And my twilight images go by All too soon Like an angel passing through my room |

No more carefree laughter Silence ever after Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye Knowing me, knowing you There is nothing we can do Knowing me, knowing you We just have to face it, this time we're through (This time we're through, this time we're through This time we're through, we're really through) Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go (I have to go this time I have to go, this time I know) Knowing me, knowing you It's the best I can do Mem'ries (mem'ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days) They'll be (they'll be), with me (with me) always (always) In these old familiar rooms children would play Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say Knowing me, knowing you There is nothing we can do Knowing me, knowing you We just have to face it, this time we're through (This time we're through, this time we're through This time we're through, we're really through) Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go (I have to go this time I have to go, this time I know) Knowing me, knowing you It's the best I can do |

"They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul.
A voyager, and a settler, they both have a distant goal. If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside. Well, it really doesn't matter as long as I can tell myself I've always tried." Like a roller in the ocean Life is motion Move on Like a wind that's always blowing Life is flowing Move on Like the sunrise in the morning Life is dawning Move on How I treasure every minute Being part of it, being in it With the urge to move on I've travelled every country I've travelled in my mind It seems we're on a journey A trip through space and time And somewhere lies the answer To all the questions why What really makes the difference Between all dead and living things The will to stay alive Like a roller in the ocean (la la la la la la-la) Life is motion (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) Like a wind that's always blowing (la la la la la la-la) Life is flowing (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) Like the sunrise in the morning (la la la la la la-la) Life is dawning (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) How I treasure every minute (la la la la) Being part of it (la la la la) Being in it (la la la la) With the urge to move on The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea The crying of the seagulls that hover over me I see it and I hear it But how can I explain The wonder of the moment To be alive, to feel the sun that follows every rain Like a roller in the ocean (la la la la la la-la) Life is motion (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) Like a wind that's always blowing (la la la la la la-la) Life is flowing (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) Like the sunrise in the morning (la la la la la la-la) Life is dawning (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) How I treasure every minute (la la la la) Being part of it (la la la la-ah) Being in it With the urge to move on La la la la la la-la, la la la la la la-la, la la la la-la Like a wind that's always blowing La la la la la la-la La la la la la la-la (life is flowing) La la la la-la (move on) Like the sunrise in the morning La la la la la la-la La la la la la la-la (life is dawning) La la la la-la (move on) How I treasure every minute (la la la la) Being part of it (la la la la-ah) Being in it With the urge to move on La la la la la la-la, la la la la la la-la, la la la la-la Like a wind that's always blowing... |

The summer air was soft and warm The feeling right, the Paris night Did it's best to please us And strolling down the Elysee We had a drink in each cafe And you You talked of politics, philosophy and I Smiled like Mona Lisa We had our chance It was a fine and true romance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass By the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met It was the age of no regret Oh yes Those crazy years, that was the time Of the flower-power But underneath we had a fear of flying Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying We took the chance Like we were dancing our last dance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants our last winter Living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play And now you're working in a bank The family man, the football fan And your name is Harry How dull it seems Yet you're the hero of my dreams I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants our last winter We were living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play <i>(fade)</i> |

They passed me by,
all of those great romances. You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances. My picture clear. Everything seemed so easy. And so I dealt you the blow One of us had to go. Now it's different, I want you to know. One of us is crying. One of us is lying in a lonely bed. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely. One of us is only Waiting for a call. Sorry for herself. Feeling stupid, feeling small. Wishing she had never left at all. I saw myself as a concealed attraction. I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action. Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving. That's how I started the show. One of us had to go. Now I'm changed and I want you to know One of us is crying. One of us is lying in a lonely bed. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely. One of us is only Waiting for a call. Sorry for herself. Feeling stupid, feeling small. Wishing she had never left at all. Never left at all. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call Sorry for herself Feeling stupid, feeling small Wishing she had never left at all |

I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain Why should I complain But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you Does it feel the same When she calls your name Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all (So the winner takes it all) (And the loser has to fall) (Throw a dice, cold as ice) (Way down here, someone dear) (Takes it all, has to fall) (And it's plain, I complain) <i>(fade)</i> |

I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained The day before you came I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame The day before you came Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came |

Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill Birds of passage, you and me We fly instinctively When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex We're still striving for the sky No taste for humble pie Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more Clear-headed and open-eyed With nothing left untried Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done |

This park and these houses, old streets I have walked
Everything dear, will it be here One day when I am returning? My friends will get married, have children and homes It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise Never expecting surprises I wonder, it′s frightening Leaving now, is that the right thing? I wonder, it scares me But who the the hell am I if I don′t leave it I′m not a coward Oh no, I′ll be strong One chance in a lifetime Yes I will take it, it can′t go wrong My friends and my family, this dull little town Buses I′ve missed, boys that I′ve kissed Everything old and familiar I wonder, it′s frightening Leaving now, is that the right thing? I wonder, it scares me But who the the hell am I if I don′t leave it I′m not a coward Oh no, I′ll be strong One chance in a lifetime Yes I will take it... Yes I will take it, it can′t go wrong |

Summer night city...
Summer night city... Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city In the sun I feel like sleeping I can't take it for too long My impatience slowly creeping Up my spine and growing strong I know what's waiting there for me Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo Lots to take and lots to give Time to breathe and time to live Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city It's elusive call it glitter Somehow something turns me on Some folks only see the litter We don't miss them when they're gone I love the feeling in the air My kind of people everywhere When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo And tomorrow, when it's dawning And the first birds start to sing In the pale light of the morning Nothing's worth remembering It's a dream, it's out of reach Scattered driftwood on the beach Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city (repeat 2x and fade) |

Baby, give me one more Dance while the music still goes on Don''t think about tomorrow Dance and forget our time is gone Tonight''s a night we borrow. Let''s make it a memory, a night of our own A thing to remember when we''re all alone So dance, it''s our way to say goodbye Yes, all we have to do is Dance while the music still goes on This is no time for crying Dance, don''t you hear them play our song God knows that we''ve been trying But we didn''t make it ''cause nothing''s the same We just couldn''t help it, nobody''s to blame So dance while the music still goes on And let it be our last goodbye Yet it seems to make me sad. Why did things turn out so bad? Was is just a dream, everything we did, everything we had? Baby, give me one last Dance while the music still goes on Just like the night I met you Dance and believe me, when you''re gone You know I won''t forget you Our love was a snowbird, it''s flying away You tell me it''s over, what more can I say? So dance while the music still goes on It''s gonna be our last goodbye Dance while the music still goes on Don''t think about tomorrow Dance and forget our time is gone Tonight''s a night we borrow. Let''s make it a memory, a night of our own A thing to remember when we''re all alone So dance while the music still goes on And let it be our last goodbye Dance while the music still goes on This is no time for crying Dance, don''t you hear them play our song God knows that we''ve been trying Dance while the music still goes on Just like the night I met you Dance and believe me, when you''re gone You know I won''t forget you |

Keeping me so busy all the day through They're the things that keep me from thinking of you Ohhh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say And I lose my temper ten times a day Still it's even worse when the night's on its way It's bad, oh, so bad Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) How I fear the time when shadows start to fall Sitting here alone and staring at the wall Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) No one to turn to, you know how it is I was not prepared for something like this Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss Ohhh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it I got my business to help me through the day People I must write to, bills I must pay But everything's so different when night's on its way It's bad, oh, so bad Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) How I fear the time when shadows start to fall Sitting here alone and staring at the wall Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) If it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) If it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it) If it wasn't for the nights (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it) Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights (Even I could see a light I think that I could make it) Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights |

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
and my life was so empty there was nothing left to live for but then it happened one night as I got into a fight I could hear someone saying as though he was praying: "ah - Treat him well, he is your brother you might need his help one day we depend on one another love him that's the only way on the road that we're going we all need words of comfort and compassion treat him well, he is your brother love him that's the only way" I was a woman never thinking of others and my life was so lonely didn't care for anybody but then I happened to meet a begging man in the street as I turned down his praying I heard someone saying: "ah - Treat him well, he is your brother you might need his help one day we depend on one another love him that's the only way on the road that we're going we all need words of comfort and compassion treat him well, he is your brother love him that's the only way" |

Half past twelve
And I’m watching the late show in my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds Blowing outside the window as I look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the phone There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Movie stars Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win It’s so different from the world I’m living in Tired of t.v. I open the window and I gaze into the night But there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day |

I've always hated my room, its so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard So I can't understand how its happened, how everything's changing This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter You must have a lovelight Everything around you is lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there The lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight How I remember the first time we went to the movies We had decided to meet on the corner downtown And I waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter When you came into my life it all got so much brighter You must have a lovelight Everything around you is lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there The lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight And I feel so good And I feel so right And I know that you must have a lovelight You've got lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there You've got lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight Everything about you is right Let it glow and let it be bright I don't want to lose your lovelight Shining like a star in the night |

When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well I understand It's only natural But why did it have to be me? Nights can be empty, nights can be cold So you were looking for someone to hold That's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me Men are toys in the game that you play When you get tired, you throw them away That's only natural But why did it have to be me? Falling in love with a woman like you Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do It's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me |

I was at a party and this fella said to me
"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree People care for nothing, no respect for human rights Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights" I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?" He got kinda wary as he looked around the room He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state" I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?" He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone Over in the corner I could see this other guy He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we? What's our situation, do we have some time for us?" I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?" I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone [Extra Video Verse] Standing up is scary if you think you're gonna fall Like a Humpty Dumpty, 'fraid of falling off the wall I say if you ever want to know what's going on Gotta keep on rockin baby till the night is gone [repeat chorus and fade] |

I have a very good friend The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend She has a personal style Some people like it, others tend to go wild You hear her voice everywhere Taking the chair She's a leading lady And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean Her man is one I admire He's so courageous but he's constantly tired Each time when he speaks his mind She pats his head and says, that's all very fine Exert that will of your own When you're alone Now we'd better hurry And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean You hear her voice everywhere Taking the chair She's a leading lady And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean (she's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please) And she goes Head over heels |

(Im kinda flattered I suppose) Guess Im kind of flattered but Im scared as hell Staring down the deepest well I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where Id be if I fell Under attack, Im being taken About to crack, defences breaking Wont somebody please have a heart Come and rescue me now cause Im falling apart Under attack, Im taking cover He saw my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothings gonna stop him now Should I want to, Im not sure, I wont know how Under attack, Im being taken About to crack, defences breaking Wont somebody see and save a heart Come and rescue me now cause Im falling apart Under attack, Im taking cover He saw my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothings gonna stop him now Should I want to, Im not sure, I wont know how |

I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs
No poet has ever painted Voices call out to me, straight to my heart So strange yet we're so well acquainted I let the music speak, with no restraints I let my feelings take over Carry my soul away into the world Where beauty meets the darkness of the day Where my mind is like an open window Where the high and healing winds blow From my shallow sleep the sounds awake me I let them take me (Let them wake me, let them now, let them take me) Let it be a joke Let it be a smile Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while Let it be a tear Let it be a sigh Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn Rustling down an old alley And in the dead of night I find myself A blind man in some ancient valley I let the music speak, leading me gently Urging me like a lover Leading me all the way Into a place Where beauty will defeat the darkest day Where I'm one with every grand illusion No disturbance, no intrusion Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me I let them use me (All illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion) Let it be a joke Let it be a smile Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while Let it be a tear Let it be a sigh Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry Let it be a tear Let it be a sigh Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry Let it be the joy of each new sunrise Or the moment when a day dies I surrender without reservation No explanations No questions why I take it to me and let it flow through me Yes, I let the music speak I let the music speak |

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumbling down And your love's a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita |

They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher Am I dreaming or is it all real? Is it true I'm an eagle? Is it true I can spread my wings? Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please |

Day is dawning and I must go
You're asleep but still I'm sure you'll know Why it had to end this way You and I had a groovy time But I told you somewhere down the line You would have to find me gone I just have to move along Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations When you wake I know you'll cry And the words I wrote to say goodbye They won't comfort you at all But in time you will understand That the dreams we dreamed were made of sand For a no-good bum like me To live is to be free Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Look in my restless soul, a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations <i>[repeat and fade]</i> |

I'm a marionette Just a marionette Pull the string I'm a marionette Everybody's pet Just as long as I sing I'm a marionette See my pirouette 'Round and 'round I'm a marionette I'm a marionette Just a silly old clown You're so free That's what everybody's telling me Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound Pushed around refugee |

Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue Like I always do 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you I was sick and tired of everything When I called you last night from Glasgow All I do is eat and sleep and sing Wishing every show was the last show So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming Suddenly I feel all right (And suddenly its gonna be) And it's gonna be so different When I'm on the stage tonight Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun Smiling, having fun Feeling like a number one Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me But I wont feel blue Like I always do 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you Facing twenty thousand of your friends How can anyone be so lonely Part of a success that never ends Still I'm thinking about you only There are moments when I think I'm going crazy But it's gonna be alright (You'll soon be changing everything) Everything will be so different When I'm on the stage tonight Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun Smiling, having fun Feeling like a number one Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me But I won't feel blue Like I always do 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you So I'll be there when you arrive The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive And when you take me in your arms And hold me tight I know it's gonna mean so much tonight Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun Smiling, having fun Feeling like a number one Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me But I won't feel blue Like I always do 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you |

I believe your new girl turned you down
And they say she's pushing you around How does it feel, I guess it hurts your pride Tell me my friend how many nights you cried Disaster and disgrace The word is all around Suddenly He's clumsy like a clown The world is upside down The king has lost his crown Was it hard to step down from your throne And to know tonight you're all alone Oh what a shame, you really want that girl She doesn't care, still you just dream of her Disaster and disgrace The king has lost his crown Suddenly He's clumsy like a clown The world is upside down The king has lost his crown Disaster and disgrace The world is all around Suddenly He's clumsy like a clown The world is upside down The king has lost his crown Disaster and disgrace The world is all around... <i>(fade)</i> |

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go (Slipping through my fingers all the time) Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers... Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile... |

Do I hear what I think I'm hearing?
Do I see the signs I think I see? Or is this just a fantasy? Is it true that the beast is waking Stirring in his restless sleep tonight In the pale moonlight In the grip of this cold December You and I have reason to remember Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I don't sing They blow their horns and march along They drum their drums and look so strong You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way Taking a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance What's that sound, what's that dreadful rumble? Won't somebody tell me what I hear? In the distance but drawing near Is it only a storm approaching? All that thunder and the blinding light In the winter night In the grip of this cold December You and I have reason to remember Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I don't sing They blow their horns and march along They drum their drums and look so strong You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way Taking a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way Taking a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance |

Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand And then I heard them laugh and say Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now Hey, what's it good for anyway? So I said Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may What about Livingstone? What about all those men? Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way Tell me, wasn't it worth the while Travelling up the Nile Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone? And all of those fellas at the local news-stand Didn't know what to answer or what to say So I told them about him, that he was just like One of those spacemen in his way And if you laugh at them Then there's only a thing I can say What about Livingstone? What about all those men? Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way Tell me, wasn't it worth the while Travelling up the Nile Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone? (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) What about all those men? (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way Tell me, wasn't it worth the while (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) Travelling up the Nile (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone? (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) What about all those men?

Suzy was nine and I was ten
Right at the time when boys like to think they're men She used to follow us at school We really thought that she was a little fool And one day we said to her We don't want to hurt you girl But you'd better Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure So get off our playground and stay away That's all that we've got to say Suzy-hang-around Suzy went home to Mama's arms Mama said "Look, she's never done you no harm So get off her back and let her be Why can't you play together in harmony?" We really didn't know what to say But as soon as she went away We laughed and said Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure So get off our playground and stay away That's all that we've got to say Suzy-hang-around Yes you'd better Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure So get off our playground and stay away That's all that we've got to say Suzy-hang-around |

He had what you might call a trivial occupation
He cleaned the platforms of the local railway station With no romance in his life Sometimes he wished he had a wife He read the matrimonial advertising pages The cries for help from different people, different ages But they had nothing to say At least not until the day When something special he read This is what it said: If you dream of the girl for you Then call us and get two for the price of one We're the answer if you feel blue So call us and get two for the price of one If you dream of the girl for you (If you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you) Then call us and get two for the price of one (Why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one) We're the answer if you feel blue (We may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two) So call us and get two for the price of one (Why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one) He called the number and a voice said, "Alice Whiting" The voice was husky and it sounded quite exciting He was amazed at his luck The purest streak of gold he'd struck He said, "I read your ad, it sounded rather thrilling I think a meeting could be mutually fulfilling Why don't we meet for a chat The three of us in my flat I can't forget what I read" This is what it said: If you dream of the girl for you Then call us and get two for the price of one We're the answer if you feel blue So call us and get two for the price of one If you dream of the girl for you (If you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you) Then call us and get two for the price of one (Why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one) We're the answer if you feel blue (We may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two) So call us and get two (Why don't you call us and you'll get two) For the price of one... She said, "I'm sure we must be perfect for each other And if you doubt it you'll be certain when you meet my mother" |

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through Here we are, me and you Feeling lost and feeling blue It's the end of the party And the morning seems so grey So unlike yesterday Now's the time for us to say Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I Sometimes I see How the brave new world arrives And I see how it thrives In the ashes of our lives Oh yes, man is a fool And he thinks he'll be okay Dragging on, feet of clay Never knowing he's astray Keeps on going anyway Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I Seems to me now That the dreams we had before Are all dead, nothing more Than confetti on the floor It's the end of a decade In another ten years' time Who can say what we'll find What lies waiting down the line In the end of eighty-nine Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I |

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I'm so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk Mmm, she says I began to sing long before I could talk And I've often wondered, how did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody What a joy, what a life, what a chance! Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me |
