Bev Bevan [Drum, Black Sabbath]

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

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

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.

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.

- Jeff Lynne

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.

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!

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!

My Lord King:

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!

Echoing:
Can you hear me?
I love you.

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

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

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

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn 'round quick and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh, no

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan sitting there he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh, no, no, please God help me

Child cries out for his mother
Mother's screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh no

Is it the end my friend
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware
No, no, please, no

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

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

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

As you look through my window
Deep into my room
At the tapestries all faded
Their vague and distant glories
Concealed in the gloom
The icy fingers of forgotten passions
Softly brushing my lips
At the tips of my primitive soul

As you look through my door
Deep into my room
Can you feel the mighty wall of power
It's waiting, waiting in the gloom
The distant shadows of forgotten champions
Those who live in me still
And will rise when we challenge and kill

Born again
You'll be born again

Look at this prince of evil
Fighting for your mind
Fighting all the priests of shame
For the thrust of my challenge is aimed
At the hearts of mutant gods
who think we're all the same
They're controlling our minds
And they use us for fortune and fame

As you look through my window
Deep into my room
At your future and freedom
The grey and plastic retards all floating in circles
And as you taste the fruits of new sensations
Softly brushing your lips
As we rise when we challenge and kill

Born again
You'll be born again

If you want to be king for a day
Just do what I say

Everybody's got to think like a hunter
Just search for your prey

Be alive through the night and the day
Just do it my way

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

Somebody
Told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

And pretty soon she′s really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is (static!)
Information, I′m still here
Re-dial on automatic

Calling America (can′t get a message through)
Calling America (that′s what she said to do)
Calling America (that′s where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America

But I′m just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

All I had to do was pick up the phone
I′m out in space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

She left a number I could call
But no one′s there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on

Said she′d call when she′d been gone a while
Guess she′s missing me across the miles
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America

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

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

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

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...

She wears her leather just to satisfy
She really throws it around
There ain't one thing she can't afford to buy
She's the richest bitch in town

Her big fat daddy was a money machine
He made a fortune from computers
She's got more money than I've ever seen
But she's a greedy emotional looter

Keep away from the digital bitch
Keep away from the digital bitch
Keep away from the digital bitch
She's so rich, the digital bitch

She's got five rollers and a fine estate
A big house up on the hill
She throws parties just to celebrate
Her life is just one enormous thrill

She buys poor people just to have around
She has a trophy for each lover
The bitch is rich but baby pound for pound
She's got a lot more to discover

Maybe she could please me if I saw beneath her veil
But she's just an imitation woman up for sale

She got so famous that she's on TV
She's got a professional smile
But I switch over 'cos she ain't for me
She disturbs me all the while

She looks so happy but she's got it wrong
She's always going faster
She sings her life to such a different song
She needs a loving and dominant master

She wears her leather just to satisfy
She really throws it around
There ain't one thing she can't afford to buy
She's the richest bitch in town

Her big fat daddy was a money machine
He made a fortune from computers
She's got more money than I've ever seen
But she's a greedy emotional looter

Keep away from the digital bitch
Keep away from the digital bitch
Keep away from the digital bitch
She's so rich, the digital bitch

She's got five rollers and a fine estate
A big house up on the hill
She throws parties just to celebrate
Her life is just one enormous thrill

She buys poor people just to have around
She has a trophy for each lover
The bitch is rich but baby pound for pound
She's got a lot more to discover

Maybe she could please me if I saw beneath her veil
But she's just an imitation woman up for sale

She got so famous that she's on TV
She's got a professional smile
But I switch over 'cos she ain't for me
She disturbs me all the while

She looks so happy but she's got it wrong
She's always going faster
She sings her life to such a different song
She needs a loving and dominant master

Let's try getting to the sky, hang on or you're going to die
Sour life can turn sweet, it's laying at your feet
Sweet child with an innocent smile watches closely all the while
Don't be fooled when he cries, keep looking at the eyes

Good life is contradiction because of the crucifixion
If you're ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed

You just gotta listen to the night at the ending of the day
You just gotta listen to the night as safety slips away
Moving out of sight are the things you need to see to feel
And as they slip away becoming so unreal unreal
You just gotta listen to the night as you're going up the stairs
You just gotta listen to the night and don't forget to say your prayers
And as you lose control to the eyes in dark disguise
And icy fingers send electric lies

We're disturbing the priest, won't you please come to our feast
Do we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least
Ahhhh, Do we mind disturbing the priest
Aahhhh, not at all, not at all, not in the least

The force of the devil is the darkness the priest has to face
The force of the night will destroy him but will not disgrace
To get into his mind and to his soul you gotta set alight
The flames of doubt so deep inside inside
The devil and the priest can't exist if one goes away
It's just like the battle of the sun and the moon and night and day
The force of the devil, that's we're all told to fear
Watch out for religion when he gets too near too near

We're disturbing the priest, won't you please come to our feast
Do we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least

Good life is contradiction because of the crucifixion
If you're ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed

Aahhhh, ahhhh, ah ha ha ha haaa!

Let's try getting to the sky, hang on or you're going to die
Sour life can turn sweet, it's laying at your feet
Sweet child with an innocent smile watches closely all the while
Don't be fooled when he cries, keep looking at the eyes
Oh, disturbing the priest!

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?

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

Look out

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

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
Too late
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's 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.

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
Too late, ah, oh
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late.

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.

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

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

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.

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...

I see that look of old
Good tidings they are comin'
Wake up that pretty face
And tell me all that you know
Just see the difference now
You're back in front of the show
Such a big deal
How does it feel?

The world is watchin' you
Your troubles now are over
Just see the people stare
They love you, don't you know?

You drive a Thunderbird
To every single show
If you gotta go,
Go now.

And when you cry,
All the world will cry
If you should laugh
Well, they'll all fall down.

You'd better make it soon
Oh, your sins have been forgivin'
When you start fallin'
There is no one there to hold.

You trade your life in for a bag of shiny gold
With something to hold
Something to hold.

And when you cry,
All the world will cry
If you should laugh
Well, they'll all fall down.

Nothing is better than
Going home without a reason
I look into the sky
And see the reason for life
Everyone's born to die.

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)

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.

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

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

It's out of control (out of control)
And there's nothing i can do now
Out of control (out of control)
Spinning softly through the blue now
And look beyond these walls
As the meaning starts to dawn
It's getting to the point
Getting to the point

It's out of control (nothing i can do)
Like a fire that keeps on burning
And nobody knows (what i'm going through)
And the thoughts just keep returning
And all you had to say
Was that you were gonna stay
Getting to the point (Getting to the point)
It's getting to the point

It's getting to the point
Where nobody can stop it now
It's getting to the point
Of no return
And all that i can do
Is stand and watch it now
Watch it burn, burn, burn

It's getting to the point
Where reasons are forgotten
It's getting to the point
Where no one knows
And all that i can do
Is say i'm sorry
But that's the way it goes

Getting to the point

Forever
Is a long, long way
Forever
Takes your breath away
I'd like to talk about it, try to understand
Getting to the point(Getting to the point)
getting to the point

It's getting to the point
Where nobody can stop it now
It's getting to the point
Of no return
And all that i can do
Is stand and watch it now
Watch it burn, burn, burn

It's getting to the point
Where reasons are forgotten
It's getting to the point
Where no one knows
And all that i can do
Is say i'm sorry
But that's the way it goes...

It's getting to the point (getting to the point)
Getting to the point (getting to the point)
It's getting to the point (getting to the point)
Getting to the point

Oh I know it's strange, but I think that it's about to change
So I'll take the chance to get back into the straight again
Heaven only knows, I'm really on the level
Heaven only knows, I'm trying to find a way
Heaven only knows, I'm walking down a straight

Quand tu vois ton bateau partir

Accroches-toi a ton reve.

When you hear that cold wind calling

Take me to the river baby drink my wine
When I'm going down won't you throw me a line
Lead me to religion take me up them stairs
When I take a tumble will you say me some prayers

When will you show me a sign
When will you throw me a line

Help me to the answer baby set me free
I'm torn between the devil and the deep blue sea
Maybe if you wanted you could save my face
Keep me out of trouble and I'm a living disgrace

Show me to a sucker and you'll see my name
Standing in a line with the shadows of fame
Lead me to a legend take me up them stairs
When I take a tumble will you say me some prayers

Take me to the river baby drink my wine
When I'm going down won't you throw me a line
Lead me to religion take me up them stairs
When I take a tumble will you say me some prayers

Help me to the answer baby set me free
I'm torn between the devil and the deep blue sea
Maybe if you wanted you could save my face
Keep me out of trouble and I'm a living disgrace

Show me to a sucker and you'll see my name
Standing in a line with the shadows of fame
Lead me to a legend take me up them stairs
When I take a tumble will you say me some prayers

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

Iron Man

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

Dear Jo, don't know where to begin so I'll just say hello
Dear Jo, is it so much better now you're on your own
You never believed in yourself
So now that you're free does it help
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong
Dear Jo, are you livin' it up every place you go
Dear Jo, if you're havin' a hard time it sure don't show
You couldn't hold on in your mind
now is it ok is it fine
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong
Dear Jo, can you believe that it's been so long
Dear Jo, just thought I'd write and let you know
You never believed in yourself
But now that you're free does it help
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong

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 wander through a town
A town I new so well but it seems so strange
The wind blows cold
I remember when I thought your street was paved with gold
I walked along the street
A street I walked along many times before
The things have changed
Everything I knew was gone or rearranged

Julie don't live here anymore
She moved away many years before
How can it be, this I can't believe
Julie don't live here anymore

I walked up to your door
Last night I saw your face in the window
But it was different now
The lonely light where we used to be quite gone

I though about your smile
Your laughing eyes and the things you said to me
I felt so sorry for you
For all the nights we spent hanging around with nothing else to do

Julie don't live here anymore
She moved away many years before
How can it be, this I can't believe
Julie don't live here anymore

Julie don't live here anymore
She moved away many years before
How can it be, this I can't believe
Julie don't live here anymore

Julie don't live here anymore
Julie don't live here anymore
Julie don't live here anymore

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!"

Sweet woman are you feeling right
What was it that you did last night
You made me crazy you made me fly
I can't forget the hungry look in your eye
Ooh what's the matter with me
I'm justa runner I was born free
But since I met you I can't leave you alone
I'm leaving now but I'll be coming home

Keep it warm at the place by your side
Nobody's gonna take away our magical ride
Keep it warm for me when we talk on the phone
Don't forget will you pretty one that your man is coming home

D'you hear the rumor that is going around
Say I'm ruined 'cos I'm settled down
It's not true well maybe half and half
You know I love you but I still like a laugh
Ooh I'm feeling fine I got it right for the first time
Sweet woman I can't stay for long, but every one will be proved wrong
I'm like a gypsy, I need to roam, but don't worry I'll be coming home
I need the danger I need the thrill
I need to know what is over each hill
Ooh I'm a different man I'm still running but you understand
Since I met you I can't leave you alone
I'm leaving now but I'll be coming home

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

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

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

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

Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees
The spirit of her is walking back to me
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now

The king of the castle brought her to her knees
Gave the salvation army girl a squeeze
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now

Now she's a sallow face
Scattering her lace - on dewy ground
Ah, I keep searching my head
Now it's spinning around

Lifting her head, her countenance redeemed
Re-acted the murder by the silver stream
Ah look at me now displaying emotion
Ah look at me now

Look at me now so cold and yet so brave
Weave me some wings to take me to her grave
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now

Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees
The spirit of her is walking back to me
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now

The king of the castle brought her to her knees
Gave the salvation army girl a squeeze
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now

Now she's a sallow face
Scattering her lace - on dewy ground
Ah, I keep searching my head
Now it's spinning around

Lifting her head, her countenance redeemed
Re-acted the murder by the silver stream
Ah look at me now displaying emotion
Ah look at me now

Look at me now so cold and yet so brave
Weave me some wings to take me to her grave
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now

Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees
The spirit of her is walking back to me
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now

The king of the castle brought her to her knees
Gave the salvation army girl a squeeze
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now

Now she's a sallow face
Scattering her lace - on dewy ground
Ah, I keep searching my head
Now it's spinning around

Lifting her head, her countenance redeemed
Re-acted the murder by the silver stream
Ah look at me now displaying emotion
Ah look at me now

Look at me now so cold and yet so brave
Weave me some wings to take me to her grave
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now
Look at me now

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

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

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

I see the lonely road
that lead so far away
I see the distant lights
that left behine the day
But what I see is so
much more than I can say
and I see you in midnight blue
I see you crting now
you've found a lot of pain
and what you searching
for can never be the same
but what's the difference cos'
they say what's in a name
and I see you in midnaight blue

I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you
I'm feeling midnight blue

I see you standing there
far out along the way
I want to touch but the
night becomes the day
I count the words that
I am never gonna say
and I see you in midnight blue

I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you
I'm feeling midnight blue

can't you feel the love
that I'm offering you
can't you see hoe
it's meant to be
can't you hear the words
that I'm saying to you
can't you believe like
I believe
It's only one and one
it's true
still I see you in
midnight blue

I see beautiful days and
I feel Beautiful ways
of loving you everything's
midnight blue
I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you
I'm feeling midnight blue
I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you
I'm feeling midnight blue

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

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

Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly station,
So glad of your company, your morning music.
My wife she ran away, she left our home,
And though you're here with me, I'm on my own.

Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly speaker,
You played my request today, request to see her.
Your voice comes riding home across the air,
You travel 'round the world, but still you're here.

I heard on the news, today the world is no good,
But if she returns today, mine could be so good.
I look into the sky, your waves rush by,
The weatherman has lied, it makes me cry.

Hello, Mr. Radio, do I disturb you?
Sometimes I forget my place, I seem to know you.
I miss you when you close, you'll never know,
And when your programmes go, I'm on my own.

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

Creeping over now his

Where did we go wrong

We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
