Bev Bevan [Drum, Black Sabbath]

Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize.
I guess you had your way.
You see I gotta make you understand.
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say.
But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day.

*You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see.

Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn
Remember,tonight we're gonna say.
We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on.
I know you've heard it all before.
But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more.

*Repeat

Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).

It's been a year now and it's getting so much better.
You came home without a word.
Though everybody said you'll soon forget her.
Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand.
And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand.

Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).

How many days had I been waiting there to tell you.
I really can't believe.
We're walkin' out into the world tonight.
We'll do it all again until the break of light.
And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes

*Repeat

Everywhere the sun is shining
All around the world, it's shining
But cold winds blow across your mind
Confusion -- it's such a terrible shame
Confusion -- you don't know what you're saying
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Every night you're out there, darling
You're always out there running
And I see that lost look in your eyes
Confusion -- I don't know what I should do
Confusion -- I leave it all up to you
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Dark is the road you wander
And as you stand there under
The starry sky, you feel sad inside
Confusion -- you know it's driving me wild
Confusion -- it comes as no big surprise
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Confusion, confusion
Confusion, confusion

She gives me love that I could never hope to have,
She tells me that she needs me,she tells me that she's glad,
And if she goes away,I'm like someone who's left out in the rain,
I need,I need her,I need her love.

She came in from the west,a summer breeze I couldn't rest,
I had to take a fast train,to be there by her side,
She made me feel so good,she made it like it should be all the time
I need,I need her,I need her love.

Just when I was thinkin' of her,she came along and made me
want her.I need her love,I need her love,I need her love.

If she goes away,I'm like someone who's left out in the rain,
I need,I need her,I need her love.

The boast that sail,the planes that fly,she is with me.
I wonder if she wonders,if this is all for real,
I couldn't stand to see her cry because of me,that would be sad.
I need,I need her,I need her love.

She tells me everything,she makes me smile,she tries to sing,
But never shares her suffering,if things are going wrong,
She makes it like a dream,if things are as they seem the
world is good.
I need her love,I need her love,I need her love.

Monday:Late again,today,he'd be in trouble though
he'd say he was sorry,he'd have to hurry out the bus.

Tuesday:Horace was so sad,he'd never had a girl that he
could care for,and if he was late once more,he'd be out.


*Don't be afraid,just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said--
"Horace Wimp,this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife.
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan."

Wednesday:Horace met a girl,she was small and she
was very pretty,he thought he was in love,he was afraid.

Thursday:Asks her for a date,the cafe down the street
tomorrow evening,his head was reeling,
when she said "Yes O.K."

*Repeat

Friday:Horace,this is it,he asks the girl if maybe they
could marry,when she says "gladly." Horace cries.

Sunday:Everybody's at the church,when Horace
rushes in and says "Now here come my wife,
for the rest of my life." and she did.

*Repeat

It was 9-29,9-29 back street big city.
The sun was going' down,there was music all around
It felt so right.

It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
you feel the world stop turnin',you were standing
There,there was music in the air.I should have been
Away,but I knew I'd have to stay.

*Last train to London,just headin' out,
Last train to London,just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.

It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
You feel the fire is burnin',everybody was there,
Everybody to share,it felt so right.

There you were on your own,lookin' like you were
The only one around,I had to be with you,
Nothin' else that I could do,
I should have been away,but I knew I'd have to say.

* Repeat

Underneath a starry sky,time was still but hours
Must really have rushed by,I didn't realize
But love was in your eyes I really should have
Gone,but love went on and on...

* Repeat

Whatever I do,where-ever I go,the same afterglow
Is keepin' me low,don't wanna lose it,
But don't wanna stay here too long.

They see you go by,I tell you no lie,
You're up in the sky,make everyone cry,
Don't wanna lose it,but don't wanna stay around here.

*I'm on the run again
But it's like what they say when it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again.

I hear them talkin' and they go on and on,they think that
Nothing is wrong,and so they just carry on about you,
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta move out of here.

I see them waiting there for most of the day,I known
You asked them to stay but they just won't go away.
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta do it again.

You're saying the things that I wanna hear.
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta do it again.

Little darlin',don't you cry,
You know I'll try to be there with you by and by
When everything is going wrong now don't you cry.
I'm wishin'.
Little darlin',far away,
I see the world go rollin' by my window pane,
But I can only wish that I was there again.
I'm wishin'.

*I wish that everything was cold,
I wish you were here to hold,I'm wishin'.

Little darlin',the night is long,
I thought I'd be back now I must have got it wrong
You and California call me in this song.
I'm wishin'.

*Repeat

Little darlin' I see you,you're cryin' in the sun
I gotta be with you,
I'm gonna be with there soon I'll make it all come true.
I'm wishin'.

Foolin' around with that little town flirt.

They say some days you're gonna win,
They say some days you're gonna lose.
I tell you I got news for you
Your losin' all the time you never win
If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down
Get off your tightrope up there come down on
The ground you gotta save me now,
You better turn around.
When I looked around, I was heading down.
Won't somebody throw me down a line.

They say some days you gotta give
They say some days you gotta take
If that's the way it's gotta be,
Roll it over and you will see.
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line can't you see the sign
When I looked around, I was heading down,
Won't somebody throw me down a line.

I want to look you straight in the eye,
I want to tell you how I really feel,
I can feel the wheels turnin' round,
Won't somebody throw me down a line
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time,
The change from night to day is really only hours
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign
When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised
Somebody had thrown me down the linestopped me drownin

Hellohow are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
If you'd pick up that telephone.


Heyhow you feelin'
Are you still the same
Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view.


I look into the sky
And I wonder why


CHORUS
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight


O.K. so noone's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.


CHORUS repeat

Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready
And I'm really gonna rock tonight.

Sweet little lady sings like a songbird
And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard,
But she ain't ready,
No, no, no, she ain't ready
No, no, no, she ain't ready,
And she ain't gonna rock & roll

CHORUS
She's sweet on Wagner,
I think she'd die for Beethoven,
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune,
And Verdi's always creeping from her room

Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues
Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose,
Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready
Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready
I wanna show you how to rock and roll.

Now listen here baby she, said to me
Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three,
'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready,
I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.

CHORUS repeat

Far, far away the music is playing.

Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night,
Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light,
And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes.
And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues,
And as the night grew older everybody was
As one,
The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song
Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure,
I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure,
But it's alright

For may days we travelled from a distant place and time,
To reach a place they call the planet Earth,
There was to be a celebration,
On the mission of the sacred heart.
The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow,
But when you touch down things look different here,
At the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby,
In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS repeat
There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land,
On a place they call the planet Earth,
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,
From the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS repeat

Two drifters on the morning sky,
Two drifters sailing wide and high,
When summer breezes blow across your mind,
With you, I will walk the line.

CHORUS
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine

People walking hand in hand,
Everybody's singing to the band,
I want to be where the stars shine bright,
And hear sweet music on a summer night.

CHORUS repeat

Sundowners we'll go on and on,
We'll find the land of the midnight sun,
And when you look you'll see for miles around,
You'll see, the world is in your hand.

CHORUS repeat

CHORUS repeat

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'
It's magic

CHORUS
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day,
Moving in line when you look back in time
To your first day

CHORUS -- repeat

Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream,
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream

CHORUS -- repeat

I came along to see your face,
But the only thing I got from you,
was telling me it's fantasy,
That you would always be with me,
I can tell you that's it's true,
I'm waiting here, but it's alright,
It's alright with me, you better believe me now.

I guess it's like a mountain side,
You've got to climb it to the top,
Floating in a sea of dreams,
The only thing that you can see,
Is the view above the clouds.

I'm waiting here, but it's alright,
Still it's alright with me,
You better believe me now.

In this life I've seen ev'rything I can see, woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've see babies dancin' in the midnight sun
I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men cryin' at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sittin' watchin' picture slides
But I never seen nothin' like you
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
Do ya, do ya want my love?

Well, I heard the crowd singin' out of tune
As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne
By the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you

In the country where the sky
Touches down on the field
She lay her down to rest in the mornin' sun
They came -a-runnin' just to get a look
Just to feel, to touch her long black hair
They don't give a damn

But I never seen nothin' like you
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
Do ya, do ya want my love?

Well I think you know
What I'm tryin' to say, woman
That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know
That I've got to get it all
To get it all to grow

Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
Do ya, do ya want my love?

Sitting here, waiting for,
Someone calling at my door,
Too bad,
I'm getting out of love.

What's the use of changing things,
Wonder what tomorrow brings,
Who knows,
I'm getting out of love.

CHORUS
My Shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue

Clouds roll by and hide the sun,
Raindrops fall on everyone,
So sad,
I'm getting out of love.

CHORUS repeat

Just on the border of your waking mind,
There lies another time
Where darkness and light are one,
And as you tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond.

I have a message from another time.

The visions dancing in my mind,
The early dawn the shades of time.
Twilight crawling through my window pane.

Am I awake or do I dream,
The strangest pictures I have seen,
Night is day and twilight's gone away.

With your head held high and your scarlet lies,
You came down to me from the open skies,
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between

*Twilight, I only meant to stay a while
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.

Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here but can you take me back.

Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You leave me here and then you go away.

*Repeat

You brought me here but can you take me back again.

With your head held high and your scarlet lies,
You came down to me from the open skies,
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between

*Repeat

I sent a message to another time,
But as the days unwind - this I just can't believe.
I send a note across another plane,
Maybe it's all a game - but this I just can't conceive.

I drive the very latest hover car,
I don't know where you are - but I miss you so much till then,
I met someone who looks alot like youm
She does the things you do, but she is an IBM

She's only programmed to be very nice,
But she's as cold as ice, whenever I get to near,
She tells me that she likes me very much,
But when I try to touch, she makes it all to clear.

She is the latest in technology,
Almost mythology, but she has a heart of stone,
She has an IQ of 1,001,
She has a jump suit on, and she's also a telephone.

*Is that what you want - is it what you really want.

I realize that it must seem so strange,
That time has rearranged, but time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind,
She tries to be unkind, she knows nothing of our world

Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know, all she says is that what you want
Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace,
And kiss her interface, until then I'll leave her alone

*Repeat

Remember the good old 1980's,
When things were so uncomplicated,
I wish I could go back there again,
And everything could be the same.

I've got a ticket to the moon,
I'll be leaving here any day soon,
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon,
But I'd rather see the sunrise, in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the moon,
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon,
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain,
That gently falls upon your window,
You'll never know.

Ticket to the moon
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright.

Flying high above,
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come,
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here,
Could turn around and I would see you there,
standing there

Ticket to the moon,
Flight leaves here today from satellite 2,
As the minutes go by what shall I do,
I paid the fare but what more can I say,
It's just one way.

Ticket to the moon,

Well I came a long way to be here today
And I left you so long on this avenue,
And here I stand in the strangest land
Not knowing what to say or do.
As I gaze around at these strangers in town,
I guess the only stranger is me,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Although it's only a day since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in wonder,
The ground at my feet feet maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies under,
And when I see what they've done to this place that was home,
Shame is all that I feel,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Too late, too late to cry, the people say,
Too late for you, too late for me,
You've come so far now you know everything my friend
Just look and see the wonders of our world.

As I wander around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak aloud,
With it's ivory towers and it's plastic flowers
I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face, instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

Early in the morning,
The sun was up and the sky was very blue.
Without a warning,
As I looked out, my thoughts returned to you.
A noise in the city made the children run,
And hide themselves away,
And thunder boomed and lightning filled the sky.

Looking from this window,
A thousand rivers running past my door.
Standing on an island, looking for someone
Upon the shore,
I can see it very clearly nothing's really changed,
Then lightning strikes across an empty sky.

*Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Will it wash away the lonely tears.

With their brand new time transporter,
They'll think maybe I fought to get away.
But with all their great inventions,
And all their good intentions here I stay.
Down on the corner where the sun had shone,
The people gathered 'round,
Then scattered as the raindrops hit the ground,

*Repeat

Oh you, you're so hard to get to,
Oh you, you don't wanna play,
You were no better before,
I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you last night
From the end of the world.

Oh you, you keep me hangin' 'round and 'round
And 'round,
Oh you, look at the trouble I've found,
You were no better before,
I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you last night
From the end of the world.

I saw you last night but you couldn't answer,
You were a lonely little sidewalk dancer,
When I woke up I could not stand it,
You were gone but I got to hand it to you.

(Solo)
Oh please if this is a game I wish someone would win
Oh please just let it fly to be upon the wind
You were no better before, I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you baby last night
From the end of the world

One day, I gotta get out of here,
I gotta make everything clear,
I gotta see you.

I know, the way that I feel is wrong, so wrong.
But I gotta carry on, when you ain't around.

I believe things are going wrong,
And the night goes on and on,
All your dreams have flown away,
And the sun won't shine today.

*The lights go down,
The lights go down,
The lights go down and there's no one around.

I know, you're waiting so close to me,
But how will you ever see, as time rolls away,
Lonely, but tryin' to be so proud,
And just as I turn around, the lights go down.

I believe things are going wrong,
And the night goes on and on,
All your dreams have flown away,
And the sun won't shine today.

*Repeat

Here is the news,
Coming to you every hour upon the hour.
Here is the news,
The weather's fine but there may be a meteor shower.

Here is the news,
A cure's been found for good old rocket lag,
Here is the news,
Someone left their life behind in a plastic bag.

Here is the news,
Another action filled adventure,
Here is the news,
All the worst from the world convention.

Here is the news,
I wanna go home I want my baby back.

Here is the news,
Somebody has broken out of satellite 2.
Here is the news,
Look very carefully it may be you.

A penny in your pocket suitcase in your hand
They won't get you very far
now you're a 21st century man

Fly across the city rise above the land
you can do most anything
now you're a 21st century man

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
you still wander the fields of your sorrow

One day you're a hero next day you're a clown
there's nothing that is in between
now you're a 21st century man

You should be so happy, you should be so glad
so why are you so lonely, you 21st century man

You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone
return with what you've learnt
they'll kiss the ground you walk upon

Things ain't how you thought they were
nothing have you planned
so pick up your penny and your suitcase
you're not a 21st century man

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
you still wander the fields of your sorrow
21st century man

Hmm....hold on tight to your dream
Yeah...hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight..ooh..to your dream

Hmm....it's a long time to be gone
Oh....time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Hold on tight to your dream

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could

Yeah....hold on tight to your dream
Yeah....hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream

Ooh yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah...hold on tight...
To your dream

You should be so happy
You should be so glad
21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
You still wander the fields of your sorrow.

Time, time, time, time...

The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON′T SHINE NO MORE
and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING
A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT
of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on

The dying embers of the night A FIRE THAT SLOWLY FADES TILL DAWN
still glow upon the wall so bright BURNING BURNING BURNING
The tired streets that hide away FROM HERE TO EVERYWHERE THEY GO
roll past my door into the day IN MY BLUE WORLD

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone

Yes, I′m turnin′ to stone ′cos you ain′t comin′ home
Why you ain′t comin′ home if I′m turnin′ to stone
You′ve been gone for so long and I can′t carry on
yes, I′m turnin′, I′m turnin′, I′m turnin′ to stone

The dancing shadows on the wall THE TWO-STEP IN THE HALL
are all I see since you′ve been gone TURNING TURNING TURNING
Through all I sit here and I wait I TURN TO STONE I TURN TO STONE
You will return again some day TO MY BLUE WORLD

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone

Summer came and passed away,
hardly seemed to last a day
but it's over and what can I do?
Music playin' in the air,
silence on a darkened stair
'cos it's over and what can I do?

It's over, it's over, all over,
it's all over now
and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin' down, down, down,
it's all over.
Feelin' down, down, down.
Baby, baby, it's all gone,
rolled out to sea.

Lookin' over sunny days,
searchin' for the righteous wave
'cos it's over and what can I do?
Lookin' from this distant shore
you ain't sailin' by no more
'cos it's over and what can I do?

It's over, it's over, all over,
it's all over now
and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin' down, down, down,
it's all over.
Feellin' down, down, down.

Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over,
it's all over and what can I do?
Ah, it's over, it's over,
it's all over.

Oh, it's over, it's over.
Don't shed a tear for me, it's over,
don't shed a tear although it's over.

I was searchin′ on a one-way street
I was hopin′ for a chance to meet
I was waitin′ for the operator on the line

(She′s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don′t know what I′m gonna do
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down
Sweet talkin′ woman
You got me runnin′
You got me searchin′
Hold on sweet talkin′ woman
It′s so sad if that′s the way it′s over

I was walkin′ many days gone by
I was thinkin′ ′bout the lonely nights
Communication break down all around me

(She′s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don′t know what I′m gonna do
I gotta get back to you

I′ve been livin′ on a dead-end street
I′ve been askin′ ev′rybody I meet
Insufficient data comin′ through

(She′s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don′t know what I′m gonna do
I gotta get back to you

I ve been workin' so hard, baby,
tryin' to get to you.
I'm gonna be there soon because

In the heat of the day many miles away
when the sun is beating down upon the main street
I'll be waiting here at the station,
I gotta move down the line.
They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing
and they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done.
You know I got to make the deadline.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong
and the people dancing all across the city.
I'm leaving here tonight,
I gotta move down the line.
I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five,
I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning,
maybe three or four hundred miles.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

When the wind is blowing softly
through the streets of a little town and the music's playin
you're waiting somewhere over the horizon.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

Standin' at the airport lookin' down the strip,
she was cryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip.
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
and there's no turnin' round 'cos it's just leavin' the ground
and gettin' higher HIGHER.

Standin' at the dock-side lookin' out to sea
when I saw her but she did not see me.
There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat
and as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
back to the city CITY.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin' you insane.

In the city CITY

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin' you insane.

I was runnin' kinda lonely at the city place.
I waited for an hour, I never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake.
I just can't take anymore, I'm going in through the door
into the city CITY.

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
drivin' you insane.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin' you insane,
drivin' you insane,
drivin' you insane.

- Jeff Lynne

Starlight, I hear you callin' out to me.
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel you're so real, I can see you're so near
and the you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night don't tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away. (repeat & fade)

I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
But what's that going on, I think I'm outta my head
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm.

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

A hundred animals were gathered 'round in the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled:
"Come join us if you so desire."

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

And they danced!
Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

Echoing:
Can you hear me?
I love you.

Believe me now
I could never say goodbye
Don't leave me now
Believe me now.

Pack up all your things,
We're gonna be leavin'
Sooner than I thought.
Take the things you bought,
Clouds are gathering.

Say goodbye to all your friends,
We're gonna be sorry.
For a while, that's how it goes,
But then again, who knows
About the rain?

I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on,
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone,
I'm steppin' out.
I'm gonna be somebody...
Ooh, I'm steppin' out.

Did you hear what he said?
He said they sold me down the river.
They thought I thought I was a fool,
They said the rain would fall.
What did they know?

Then I saw your face,
Heard the song that you were singin'.
Though I thought I knew the words,
The tune was quite absurd
And out of key.
Doo dah dah dee.

I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on,
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone,
I'm steppin' out.
I'm gonna be somebody...
Ooh, I'm steppin' out.

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out.

Steppin' out,
Steppin' out,
Steppin' out.

Don't know where I'm going,
Gonna see the world,
Gonna be somebody...
Don't know where I'm going,
I'm just steppin' out,
I'm steppin' out,
I'm steppin' out.

(Concerto for a rainy day...)
(Rain...)

I'm standing in the rain
I'm waiting all alone
I'm so tired
I want to go home.

I'm standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doing my best
But what do I get?

I'm standing in the rain
Can't seem to get along
People rushing by
Wish they could hear my song.

I've been thinking it over
So many times they say
You got it made
They never understand
The answer lies within your soul
'cos no one know which side
The coin will fall.

Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning, turning...

Save it for a rainy day
For when the cold wind blows
Just to see how they run
I thought they'd know
I tried my best, all i could do
But somehow it was not enough for you.

Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning, turning,
Turning, turning...

Chorus:
I remember the dead of night
A lonely light that shines upon the window
I see it all so clear
The tenderness, the silent tears
Out here in the pouring rain
Through cold dark waiting days
I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending, on and on they go.

I think i'm going home
I think i'm gonna have to start again
It's rather sad
Because i've looked around, can't seem to find
Whatever's always rolling through my mind

Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning, turning
Turning, turning...

Repeat chorus

Sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day
Running down the avenue
See how the sun shines
Brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr Blue Sky is living here today
Mr Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away For so long
Where did we go wrong
Mr Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away For so long
Where did we go wrong

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr Blue Sky′s up there waiting
And today is the day
we've waited for
Mr Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away For so long
Where did we go wrong
Hey there Mr Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there Mr Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you

Mr Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr Night
Creeping over now his
Hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Mr Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away For so long
Where did we go wrong
Hey there Mr Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you

When the day is done
And there's nowhere to run
And the people of the city
Have all lost and won,
In your city dress,
You stand and stare
And you smoke another cigarette
And comb your hair
And the light that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
On the street, I wait,
I can't seem to get to you.

Well, you start to sway,
Check your Cartier
'Cause it's getting late,
You can't afford to wait,
So you move along
Where it's going on
And the people of the night
Are playing 'till the dawn
And the sun that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
In your eyes that cry,
Wishin' and hopin'.

Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.
Dark, dark were the days,
They disappear.
Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.

Well, you did your thing
And you lost your wings
And you hurt so bad
You lost everything
And the tears that fall
On the city wall
Will fade away with
The rays of morning light
That shines
Paints a smile across
Your pretty face
I know
Everything is alright, alright.

Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.
Dark, dark were the days,
They disappear.
Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.

(Sweet is the night)

Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.
Dark, dark were the days,
They disappear.
Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.

(Now you are near)

Working on the road across this great big world
I've been rolling like a stone, i never get back home
Yes, i've been long-gone
And boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Been across the ocean to the south sea isles
Yeah, i travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles
And i've been long-gone
And boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Chorus:
Across the world i've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name.

I wouldn't change the things i do for anything
But i'd just like to hear the message of the streets again
Give me a ticket
Cause boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet
Industrial revolution put it on its feet
But it's a long, long way
Boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Repeat chorus

I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks i meet
They'll say "you won't stay long, you got them travelling feet
You'll soon be long-gone
'cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus

Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero.

Sometimes i look up high and then I think there might
just be a better life.
Away from all we know, that's where I wanna go,
out on the wild side
and I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.

I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,
try'n to do what's right.
The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here.
I'd stay there for the night.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.

Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Wish I was, o-o-oo-o-o-o-oo, a wild west hero.

My Lord King:
You stoop to betray your own people
And even in the eyes of God do you not relent
I am therefore bound by no other course,
I shall raise an army

Together we will march against you and your kind
And every born man will fight
To regain his own freedom

And cleanse his retched soul
Arise! Arise!

Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today?
Did you see him run through the streets and far away?
Aah
Did you see him run, did you see him fall?
Did his life flash by at the bedroom door?

Did you hear the news it came across the air today?
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay
Ahhh
Did you see him hide, did you see him crawl?
Does his life mean more than it did before?

Did you see that man running through the streets today?
Did you catch his face, was it 10538?
Ahhhh

Little Darlin' of my life
You keep movin' cross my mind
You gave me a sunny day
Now it looks as if I'll pay

Why do they say Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe

Bluebird came to me tonight
Waiting patiently for light
She said I know that you will grieve
But my darlin' I must leave

Why do they say Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe

Bluebird say it is not so
Please I cannot hear you speak
It must be that you're so tired
In the darkness of the night

Why do they say Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe

Susan spent the weekend at her stately home
Crying at the lions on the garden wall
And then she'd sigh sneak away
Look at her style free the day

Oh no not me I wouldn't
Oh no not me I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing

Susan met the Lords and Dukes of everywhere
Smiling kissing wishing that they'd go to hell
And then she'd laugh wonder why
Take a nap sit and cry

Oh no not me I wouldn't
Oh no not me I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing

Can you feel it, like the first of Spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you

Daylight, everyone hears the sound
Hey, Goodmornin', how you doin', well I'm doin' fine
It's nearly nine I must be gone

I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

Hey there, why don't you join me I'll be glad to know you
Take some time out, would you like to work or play
Or wander slowly through this bright new day
Everyone laughs, can't believe what's goin' on round here
New World Risin', everybody kicked their blues away
Not for today but evermore

I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

New Day, smiling down on the world
Can you feel it, like the first of Spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a Showdown

Bad dreamer, what's your name
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as through there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a Showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a Showdown

Save me, oh save me
It's unreal, the suffering
There's gonna be a Showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

Got love, if that's what you need
I got three or four babies sittin' on my knee
I got love waitin' for you
I come sneakin' round the corner of the avenue

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

There's one thing that's on my mind
And that's getting hold of you before I serve my time
I'll keep on, with my heavy load
Till I see you come a strollin' down that open road

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

I love you Ma-Ma-Ma Belle
That's why I want to get it all well I'm sure you can tell
I got, good soul, runnin' so deep
Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep
Can't you hear me once Ma-Ma-Ma Belle

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

Saviour of the night came slowly on the silent river
And the lord of life came following, his sins to be forgiven
While the world sat back and laughed away the hours
Till the dawning of the daybreak

I heard them laugh I heard them cry
I saw them praying to the sky
I heard the wind howl in the trees
Down there on bended knee
And I see the light
But I know I must be dreaming

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels, it better be real

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know it's gonna be too late

Here, There, Everywhere
They keep on movin' without fear
They look me up, they look me down
They press my body to the ground
But I see the light, see the light it's comin' shinin'

And on a Summers day
When thoughts are drifting far away
And life is good and real to see
My world is saved and I am free
But in the night
Still I know I must be dreaming

(They're singing backwards

So now it's getting late, for those who hesitate, got no one
But they don't understand and no one hears the sound, it's like a
waterfall, it's an illusion

CHORUS
Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair
But you know as you hold back th power the power there
Without the friends and lovers you could never go on living

Across the waterfall that's falling evermore down on you
Cascading through the days and flowing on its way
That's how it has to be, just an illusion

CHORUS

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey woman you got the blues
Cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads no where
So just make some miles between here and there
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha woman, it's a crying shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame

Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha ha woman
What you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face board the very next train
(repeat chorus)

Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you're to wail a different song
Ha, ha funny how you broke me up
]You made the wine now you drink a cup
I come runnin' every time you cried
I thoughjt I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go
(repeat chorus)

I remember somewhere in the rain, the faces of the passers-by, staring
faces, broken blinds
I recall the situation clearly, standing in a crowded car, I can feel the
need in me

CHORUS
Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on, you're a nightrider
Riding the night, searching for what is gone
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on

I still see that vision of delight, while cruising on the black of night,
but she keeps a step ahead
Looking out the corner of her world, nobody ever knows a girl who once
lived along this way

CHORUS

Desolation, degradation row, go on, don't let the feeling show, she's a
ten, a penny dream
Faces with no name and no address keep staring in on my distress, but she
kills me with her smile

CHORUS

Away, the joker's closing in, reform and they will win, the light is fading
fast
I know, you know, they know, we all know, everybody's gonna burn down

The girls come crawling on all fours, banging on locked doors, high cards
all the time
I know, you know, they know, we all know
Everybody's gonna burn down

Play me another hand, lose everything I am, until we meet again

The ace that's hiding up your sleeve will cause the world to grieve, the
love you had is gone
I know, you know, they know, we all know
The dream in every player's heart, to win it all, not part, they lie awake
at night
I know, you know, they know, we all know

The game where the gamblers rule the night
And get your blood they might, the joker's closin' in
I know, you know, they know, we all know

You're sailing softly through the sun
In a broken stoneage dawn you fly, so high, I get a

CHORUS:
Strange magic, oh what a starnge magic,
Oh it's a strange magic, got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.

You're walking meadows in my mind,
Making waves across my time, oh no, oh no, I get a

CHORUS : Repeat

Oh I'm never gonna be the same again,
Now I've seen the way it's got to end,
Sweet dream, sweet dream.

CHORUS : Repeat

The world outside don't like us much
'Cause they ain't got our classy touch
But they ain't good enough to breathe
This town's good air, we make 'em leave

CHORUS
But it's no, no, no, you really can't do that
No, no, no, down home town

No monkey business in this town
Well, who do you think you're pushing 'round
This town's respectable and clean
Just look around, you'll see what I mean

CHORUS

Down home town, down home town

CHORUS

We got the best town band around, just listen to their crazy sound
When they get hot they gonna blow ucedemwinnin every show
Down home town, down home town

CHORUS

Look out

Deep waters flow out to the sea
They never needed you or me
One summer dream, one summer dream

Blue Mountains high and valley low
I don't know which way I should go
One summer dream, one summer dream

Warm summer breeze blows endlessly
Touching the hearts of those who feel
One summer dream, one summer dream

Bird on wing goes floating by
But there's a teardrop in his eye
One summer dream, one summer dream
One summer dream, one summer dream

The dreamer, the unwoken fool,
In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow.
The love of ages fills the head.
The days that linger there in prey of
emptiness, of burned out dreams.
The minutes calling through the
years.
The universal dreamer rises up above
his earthly burden.
Journey to the dead of night.
High on a hill in Eldorado

Midnight, on the water,
I saw, the ocean's daughter,
Walking on a wave's chicane,
Staring as she called my name.
And I can't get it out of my head,
No I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead,
'Cos I can't get it out of my

Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all
the noise.
It's for you, all the town's waiting
there.
Let us go, there's a show like you ain't
seen before.
Welcome home, where you been all
these years.
Look around, all the crowd is in tears.
It's so good to see you in

Summer days, where did you go,
You've let me down so bad,
Clouds fill the sky,
Gone is the dream
My happy hunting ground
Wild buffalo played
and I never saw a rainy day.
But it looks like summer days
ain't coming back.
March April May, June and July,
You took me for a fall.
Big chief he lie.
Cold wind blows cool, so cold to
make you die.
Mountain breeze, ocean bay and I
never saw a rainy day.
But it looks like them summer days
ain't coming back.
Laredo Tornado,
Adios amigos.
What can you do, when your dream
world is gone.
And your friends and lovers too.
West Winter Street under the ground,
The air that makes you choke,
Towers of concrete, hellish go-round,
Were there when I awoke.
City sky, pouring down with rain
That can never hope to ease the pain.
And it looks like summer days ain't
coming back. x 2

Me I'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland,
And I've traveled many days to reach this place to mke my stand,
I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.

CHORUS
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the Greenwood

The city boys, and the country boys, they come from miles around,
To defy their king and country, save the poor folks from the hand,
Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the land.

CHORUS
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the Greenwood

Sweet Maid marion, don't you do me no wrong,
Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your home,
The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water.

CHORUS
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the Greenwood

Daylight comes to those who live
But those who die, they never see the sun come
Shining through their window pane
They pass away
Silly girl to be a fool
You didn't play the golden rule
'Cause once you're through with one world
There's another waiting there
Help me, such a lonely soul
In dreams
To leave behind the world
Mr. Kingdom, help me please
To find the rainbow's end
Looking from this empty room
The corridors of endless gloom
Go crawling through the night
To meet the dawn that's on its way
Oh, to sleep, per-chance to dream
To live again those joyous scenes
The laughter and the follies
That are locked inside my head
I can dream of flying high
Above the city's cares and never be afraid of anyone
'Cause there ain't no one there

Painted lady, stop that closin' in on me
Painted lady, you're supposed to be a dream
Painted lady, you better stay away from me
Painted lady, why you loosinin' my tie
Painted lady, what's that twinkle in your eye
Painted lady, you better stay away from me
Painted lady, with your jewels and your beads
Painted lady, don't you do these dirty deeds
Painted lady, you better stay here with me
Nobody's child 'til I saw the light of your smile
Painted lady, nobody's child
You have set me free
Nobody's child, you came in and stayed for a while
Painted lady, nobody's child
You have set me free

On the seven seas there was a phantom ship acoming
Shinin' in the dead of night
I heard the crew a hummin'
Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen
But they didn't know the words
So I assumed that they was foreign
But I heard t

Here it comes, another lonely day
Playing the game, I'll sail away
On a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key to the eternal dream
The painted ladies of the Avalon
Play in the sun, take to the road
To the north there lies the chills of cold
To the south there lies the tales untold
But in between their lies, the place to close your eyes
And I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free of the world
Eldorado
Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing
Bird on the wind
Feel, feel so free
Through the life upon the rooftop haze
All the cheating and the broken days
So through it all I see
There's nothing left for me
Sitting here on top of everywhere
What do I Care
Days never end
I know the voyage's end will soon be here
No eternal life is here for me
And now I found the key
To the eternal dream

The dreamer, the unworken fool,
High on a hill in Eldorado.

In the city where the lights are pretty
And the girls dance in the night...

In the city, there's a dark, dark house
Where no one dares to go...

Oh, oh...

A moving stream of information
That is floating on the wind
The secrets never end
And now they call,
They sing, they play, they dance
For you, from out of the blue,
What can you do?

Chorus:
The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere

Where words cascade like rainbows tumbling from the sky
Then I'll be there, I'll be there
When messages will call to you their secrets all around
Without a sound, they're all around

Chorus:
Those secret messages that spill into the air from far away
So far away
A flowing river of illusion running with confusion
Never gone - it goes on and on

Repeat Chorus

I don't mind the pain, or the jokers' cold refrain
The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again
Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon
Lie awake for fear of strangers

Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy
Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the night
Empty rooms and chilling smiles
They go on for miles and miles

Chorus:
But in the evening when the sun goes down
Crawl from the shadows got to get into town
Where the music is playin' all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight

There goes a loser, another loser gone
There goes another, another who's alone
There goes a loser, another loser gone wild

I don't mind if violins don't play
I won't listen to them anyway
I don't care what people say
Some things just can't be arranged
Icy fingers touching you.
Silent voices calling too
What else is there to lose- I am here but where are you?

Repeat Chorus

The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
But you don't realize just what they say
You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done
It makes me feel so sad to think what I might've had
I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone
But it's only make believe

You work, you work, you work so hard and then
Someone, someone will come around again
You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel
The places that I go don't feel good anymore
I see it all rainbows in fall I see her face upon my wall
But it's only make believe

Fly away, bluebird fly away for me
To a place somewhere far across the sea
Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today
The waves that crash upon the sand
Another place, a far off land
And every day, I have to stay, but you are free
You could fly away-
But it's only make believe

The stars that shine so brightly
They call to me
I dream of how it might be
Somewhere far away

Chorus:
Take me on and on
Until the world has gone
Take me on and on

The chains that hold you
Those chains will soon be gone
Sail upon the ocean
Sail back to me

Repeat Chorus:

Take me on, on and on
I see it all below
I know which way to go
I see the afterglow

Repeat Chorus

Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

(Time after time)
>From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but it's all around
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Chorus:
Time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere

(Time after time)
Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

(Time after time)
Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Repeat Chorus:

The beauty of the earth from way up high
Shines like a jewel on the velvet sky
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Repeat Chorus:

Emit retfa emit, no hiding anywhere
Emit retfa emit, no visions in the air
They come from everywhere

I used to think she was the greatest thing
I really cared, gave her a diamond ring
She said she'd rather die than ever leave me
Well I never saw her face since then
And if the law don't get her then I will-
Four little diamonds

She must be somewhere on the open road
She always said she was a lonely one
She gets you down with her tales of woe
She took me for everything
And if the law don't get her then I will
Four little diamonds

Chorus:
I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn
But she was gone with the night
I thought about the things she said
And all the things we'd done
But where could she run- she ran away
There's just no answer to give

I keep wonderin' about her, day and night
She probably thinks I was a fool- she's right
She don't know it
But I'm gonna keep on searchin' for that woman
I'm gonna search everywhere
And if the law don't get her then I will
Four little diamonds

Repeat Chorus:

I still hear her callin' out to me,
I still listen for her endlessly
But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater
I gotta find where she hides
'Cause if the law don't get her then I will
Four little diamonds

On a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner,
They were stayin' till the end

On the other side of midnight,
I was lookin' for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain,
I ain't never goin' back again

The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town
I was lookin' for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round

Chorus: Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
Never takin' all the chances

As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playin' and I saw you standing there

Chorus

Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight

Here she comes down the street and that look is in her eye
And the way she looks, if looks could kill they might
All the kids down in the street run away
When she goes by it's the end of the day
So believe what they say, there's danger in the air

Look through a window and you'll see her standing there
She's the latest of the greatest with the wind blowin' in her hair
The prima donna she's back in town
And you see her for miles around
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

Chorus:
Beware there's danger ahead
The endless summer is dead
Look out there's danger ahead

Monday mornin' she's already up and gone
She knows what she wants and she knew it all along
With her entourage on either side
Just one look she can't be denied
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

Repeat Chorus:

She's got a reputation that's way ahead of her time
She's got adulation that's way ahead of her mind
Everybody runs around to please
When she looks in the mirror she just has to freeze
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

Repeat Chorus

I read the papers this morning
I saw your photograph
You look good in the movie
It must be so much fun
Letter from Spain
>From someone I once knew

I got a letter this morning
Postmark said it was from Spain
Your writing is so very strange
I guess it always was that way
Letter from Spain
>From someone I once knew

I saw her there from across the street, she was dressed in black
And when she moved she moved to a beat, like a Cadillac
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

She was a woman of suspicious ways, never saw daylight
And in her room she sat and passed the days
And she'd creep out at night
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

Chorus:
Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night

Looked through a window saw a velvet sky, a shade of green
A violin was playing soft and sweet, like it was a dream
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night

Train of gold, train of gold
I don't believe her, it just couldn't be her
I can't get it out of my mind

Listen everybody let me tell you
'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really
gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me,
to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king

She loves that rock 'n' roll
and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when
I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat,
and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king

Chorus: Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

It rolls like a train that's comin'
on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven
and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat,
she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king

Chorus

When she comes around
and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause
all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where
that music starts to play
She says rock 'n' roll is king

Can??t you see I??m shaking in my shoes
I??ve done everything but I still got the blues
Everywhere I turn there??s misery
Stuck in the middle of nowhere street

Go away come back where ya goin??
Don??t do that, do this, don??t you blow it
Run don??t walk, shout don??t talk about it
You don??t know anything about it

It??s no good there??s no way out
No way out
A fine affair and there??s no doubt
There??s no doubt
That there??s no way out, no way out

She left some money in a paper sack
And a note to say she ain??t coming back
It??s no good there??s no way out
A fine affair and there??s no doubt
But there??s no way out, no way out

They??re coming at me from everywhere
They say she??s already gone from here

Go away come back where ya goin??
Don??t do that, do this, don??t you blow it
Run don??t walk, shout don??t talk about it
You don??t know anything about it

It??s no good there??s no way out
No way out
A fine affair and there??s no doubt
That there??s no way out, no way out

No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out

Bye bye, pretty woman
I??ve got to leave you now
I find you never really cared.

Chorus:
Stand back, take a look at you
You couldn??t care if you wanted to
You keep saying it??s gonna change
But every time it comes back again
It??s a merry-go-round.

Endless lies shine in your eyes.

It??s alright, count to ten
It will all be better then
It??s alright, the world will go away.

Repeat chorus

Endless lies, I can see it in your eyes
The heartbreak is, if you could only see
That??s not the way it??s supposed to be
Endless tears that flowed through the years
You take it all, and then you take some more
Then you come running back to me.

Play on, pretty music
Play on and on for me
Shine on, silver stars
Over the sea.

Endless lies, I can see it in your eyes
The heartbreak is, if you could only see
That??s not the way it??s supposed to be.

Endless lies shine in your eyes.

It's all making me ready
It's all doing what you gotta do
I know "A"
I see my life come shine.

Golden sunrise
Tragic daydream
I am so afraid -

King of the Universe,
Are you King, King of the Earth?
King of the Universe,
Are you King, King of the Sky?
King of the Universe,
Are you King, King of the Sky?

Little darlin' of my life
You keep movin' 'cross my mind
You gave me a sunny day
Now it looks as if I'll pay.

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

Bluebird came to me tonight
Waiting patiently for light
She said, "I know that you will grieve
But my darlin', I must leave."

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

Bluebird say it is not so
Please I cannot hear you speak
It must be that you're so tired
In the darkness of the night.

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

Susan spent the weekend at her stately home
Crying at the lions on the garden wall
And then she'd sigh sneak away
Look at her style free the day

Oh no not me I wouldn't
Oh no not me I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing

Susan met the Lords and Dukes of everywhere
Smiling kissing wishing that they'd go to hell
And then she'd laugh wonder why
Take a nap sit and cry

Oh no not me I wouldn't
Oh no not me I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a fucking thing
