When you close your eyes and go to sleep And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat I can hear the things that you're dreaming about When you open up your heart and the truth comes out
You tell me that you want me You tell me that you need me You tell me that you love me And I know that I'm right Cuz I hear it in the night I hear the secrets that you keep When you're talking in your sleep
When I hold you in my arms at night Don't you know you're sleeping in a spotlight And all your dreams that you keep inside You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide
When you close your eyes and you fall asleep Everythng about you is a mystery
She locks the bedroom door Lies face down on the bed Hears voices down the hall Are they real or in her head? The pictures on the wall Reminders every one Just memories of the past Of a time that's been and gone All those wild and crazy nights They still dance before her eyes (Those crazy nights, her name in lights)
Look at her now, the golden days are over Look at her now, no leading man to hold her She was just one in a million Now she's a forgotten face Look at her now the golden days are over
Applauded by the press An overnight success A favourite with the fans Had them eating from her hands But stars fall from the sky In the twinkle of an eye There's no more silver screen Just another broken dream Still she strikes a classic pose Just in case the camera rolls (She steals the scene, relives the dream)
Look at her now, the golden days are over Look at her now, no leading man to hold her She was just one in a million Now she's a forgotten face Look at her now, she needs someone to hold her Feed her the lines Someone to co-star Someone to show her (someone to shine) Look at her now the golden days are over (You know her golden days are over) Look at her now no leading man to hold her (She’s got no leading man to hold) Look at her now the golden days are over…
You’ve red marks Round your eyes from crying over me I can see you believe You’re as blameless as can be Then you complain again That we never seem to chat (back-chat) Why chat (cha-cha-chat) If your chat’s as flat as that
And I don’t see an end To the cold war No I can’t see an end To this cold war We’ve been here before Looking for love before And I don’t see an end An end to the cold war
So they say All our lives just fly by like a plane And I’ve watched my ideals And my life go down the drain I’d be good for you If you’d just give peace a shot (a shot) Why not (why not) It’s the only shot we got
And I don’t see an end To the cold war No I can’t see an end To this cold war We’ve been here before Looking for love before And I don’t see an end An end to the cold war
The disarming way you had about you The disarming way I had about me The non-aggression pact that used to be Oh-Oh-Oh
And I don’t see an end to the cold war (Can’t see an end to this war) No I can’t see an end to this cold war (Can’t see an end to this war) No I can’t see an end to this cold war (Can’t see an end to this war)…
Pale young lovers Dancing hand in hand As the local band Plays the final tune
Sad young lovers Hold each other tight For they know the night Will be over soon
Two young lovers Dancing hand in hand Why they have to part They don’t understand
Midnight They don’t see the coloured Streamers shimmerin’ down Midnight And it’s time to say goodbye To the wrong side of town Midnight And in the crowd Two anxious faces watch the door And there are Tears, tears on the ballroom floor
Pale young dreamers Hold each other close They don’t hear the sound They are on their own
Sad young dreamers Hold each other near There is no-one else They are on their own
Midnight They don’t see the coloured Streamers shimmerin’ down Midnight And it’s time to say goodbye To the wrong side of town Midnight And in the crowd Two anxious faces watch the door And there are Tears, tears on the ballroom floor
As these final moments descend Vow their love will never end
And sad young dreamers As the music plays Now we have to go Separate ways
Midnight They don’t see the coloured Streamers shimmerin’ down Midnight And it’s time to say goodbye To the wrong side of town Midnight And in the crowd Two anxious faces watch the door And there are Tears, tears on the ballroom floor
And there are tears Tears on the ballroom floor Wishing they don’t have to say goodbye Tears, tears on the ballroom floor
And there are tears Tears on the ballroom floor Wishing they don’t have to say goodbye Tears, tears on the ballroom floor
Walk a lonely street And think of when There’s nowhere to turn That was how it was Before I dreamt a dream of you Before I knew You could be here Take away the pain and darkness
You taught me to love You taught me to hate It’s true
With you I really learned how to love I’m indebted to you You turned me into something new It’s true, it’s true That with you I really learned how to cry I’m indebted to you You showed me how to lie I’m indebted to you
Walking next to you I feel the warmth Warmth of your love Fighting like a child for me And every move you make I feel the touch Touch of your hand Pulling me towards your heart
So Don’t slip away Don’t leave in a day It’s true
With you I really learned how to love I’m indebted to you You turned me into something new It’s true, it’s true That with you I really learned how to cry I’m indebted to you You showed me how to lie I’m indebted to you
Turn from the night to the day Don’t let the word slip away Make believe I’m for you
I’m indebted to you Indebted to you Indebted to you
With you I really learned how to love I’m indebted to you You turned me into something new It’s true, it’s true That with you I really learned how to cry I’m indebted to you You showed me how to lie I’m indebted to you
It’s never been easy living with you Dish of the season fishing for truth But we got it rolling right on the track Here’s to the future with no turning back We’re taking half and half in mystery We’re making love to love so easily And still I can’t believe what’s going round I don’t believe you’d ever let me down
I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall Too many private eyes and party lines Secret signs friends who seem to know it all I hear talk, I hear talk
Talk I look in your eyes and what do I see Everything I needed looking at me Beyond all suspicion dreams on the side Hold that position ticket to ride So when it’s all wrapped up Like it’s meant to be The only trap that’s left is jealousy And still I can’t believe what’s going round I don’t believe you’d ever let me down
I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall Too many private eyes and party lines Secret signs friends who seem to know it all I hear talk, I hear talk
Chinese whispers circulate There’s a news man leaning on the garden gate If you don’t wanna headline better use your head ‘Cause I heard someone say something you said
I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall Too many private eyes and party lines Secret signs friends who seem to know it all I hear talk, I hear talk
I know you read between the lines When them up there say it’s all fine Then break your back from nine to five To keep your two point four alive Well it’s Hymns for a Sunday And it’s booze for a Monday And dreamers thinking one day It will all be taken care of
(You’re a hero) Zero, zero, zero Rather be Valentino Well don’t run away stay here and play Twentieth century hero
Well I know you’re never influenced By craze or fashions zoo caress You didn’t buy that car to show The guy next door where he can go Where your grass is the greenest And your life saccharinest Well your beach ain’t the cleanest It will all be taken care of
(You’re a hero) Zero, hero, zero Cap in hand Valentino Well I hope you know I love you so Twentieth century hero
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
Twentieth century hero you Believe what you believe is true Opinion polls, who gives a damn Look Errol Flynn now there’s a man With the price of the harvest Is swept under the carpet And the big ones fall the hardest It will all be taken care of
(You’re a hero) Dero, Dero, Dero Vanity Valentino Well you’re gonna be the death of me Twentieth century hero
Hero, hero, hero Vanity Valentino Well you’re gonna be the death of me Twentieth century hero
This love is illogical But the pain is physical Why do I act like an animal? ‘Cause you’re so damn critical
Too sharp Your tongue is like a knife It cuts my heart And leaves me sad ‘Cause I’m not that smart I never knew that love Could hurt so bad
It’s breaking me up What the matter with you? Why’d you do it to me? It’s supposed to be love Not a tragedy Do you want me to go? Do you want me to stay? Where I stand, I don’t know And I got to say Love is breaking me up Oo-oh I said love is breaking me up
Big fish in a little pool Still you treat me like a fool Wish I could just act sensible But you’re so incredible
This love will be the death of me It hurts too much to be a clown ‘Cause I’m not so tough Sometimes you look at me And I break down
It’s breaking me up What the matter with you? Why’d you do it to me? It’s supposed to be love Not a tragedy Do you want me to go? Do you want me to stay? Where I stand, I don’t know And I got to say Love is breaking me up Oo-oh I said love is breaking me up
This love is breaking me up This love is breaking me up
Where are you now that I’m falling apart? Just take a look at what you’ve done to my heart With this love Oh
It’s breaking me up What the matter with you? Why’d you do it to me? It’s supposed to be love Not a tragedy Do you want me to go? Do you want me to stay? Where I stand, I don’t know And I got to say Love is breaking me up Oo-oh I said love is breaking me up
Oo-oh Love is breaking me up Oo-oh Love is breaking me up Oo-oh Love is…
I've been checking you up I've been tracking you down Funny all the things that I've found Was it any surprise, didn't you realise, I must apologise (It doesn't matter any more) to you (a?Cos everything you tell me is boring) Nothings gonna throw me now (It doesn't matter what I say) to you A?Cos you've got that look in your eyes The camera never lies

Try to cover the trail, try to head for the line Wonder why you're wasting your time With another disguise a?cos there's no compromise When the negative is dry (It doesn't matter what I do) for you (a?Cos every time you take me I'm sleeping) You're never gonna shake me now (It doesn't matter how I try) for you (I can see by the look in your eyes) (The camera never lies)
My camera never lies So I'll put you in the picture and cut it down to size (My camera oh oh) My camera never lies anymore A?Cos there's nothing worth lying for (My camera never lies) There's nothing worth lying for (My camera never lies) My camera never lies anymore

My camera never lies anymore (My camera never lies)
Stars in your eyes, little one Where do you go to dream To a place, we all know The land of make believe
Shadows, tapping at your window Ghostly voices whisper will you come and play Not for all the tea in China Or the corn in Carolina Never, never ever They're running after you babe
Run for the sun, little one You're an outlaw once again Time to change, Superman He'll be with us while he can In the land of make believe
Something nasty in your garden's waiting Patiently, till it can have your heart Try to go but it won't let you Don't you know it's out to get you running Keep on running They're running after you babe
Run for the sun, little one You're an outlaw once again Time to change, Superman He'll be with us while he can In the land of make believe
Your world is turning From night to day Your dream is burning far, far away
Into the blue You and I To the circus in the sky Captain Kids On the sand With the treasure close at hand In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Run for the sun, little one You're an outlaw once again Time to change, Superman He'll be with us while he can In the land of make believe
Run for the sun, little one You're an outlaw once again Time to change, Superman He'll be with us while he can In the land of make believe
I've got a friend who comes to tea And no-one else can see but me He came today But had to go To visit you You never know
Long time gone Just sitting here wondering why I carry on I’m trying to find a place where I belong (Do you wake up calling out my name) ‘Cos it’s easy to forget that’s life a game (Do you still think you’re the one to blame?) When tomorrow comes I’ll miss you just the same and
Another night like this And I’ll be heading for the town Another night like this And there’ll be action going down Tomorrow night, no more hanging on It makes no difference now you’re gone Another night and soon I will be leaving ‘Cos now you’re not around
Tears will fall Looking back on life it seems I’ve done it all But here am I with my back against a wall (Can you feel it burning up inside) An emotion I just don’t know how to hide (Do you think you ever really tried) If I said I’m not in love you know I lied and
Another night like this And I’ll be heading for the town Another night like this And there’ll be action going down Tomorrow night, no more hanging on It makes no difference now you’re gone Another night and soon I will be leaving ‘Cos now you’re not around
One more heart attack You won’t be coming back Any more
Another night like this And I’ll be heading for the town Another night like this And there’ll be action going down Tomorrow night, no more hanging on It makes no difference now you’re gone Another night like this And I’ll be heading for the town Another night like this And there’ll be action going down Another night like this And I’ll be heading for the town Another night like this And there’ll be action going down Another night

Thinking, long ago when we were young and free Love happened easily and dreams never died Life sung a pretty song, now those days are gone
Crying, finding comfort in the friends we knew Now it’s just me and you trying alone We used to get along (we used to) now those days are gone
Playing with words when there’s nothing much to say Searching to find what we lost along the way Could it be one day our feelings changed I hope we see it through ‘cause I just can’t stand the thought Of life without you
Dreaming, whispers echo on the summer wind Back where the love begins, when nights were so warm With stars we could wish upon, now those days are gone
We had a chance but we lost it all somehow Broken the spell and our dreams lie heavy now Could it be some day our feelings changed I hope we see it though ‘cause I just can’t stand the thought Of life without you
Thinking, long ago when we were young and free Love happened suddenly and we couldn’t see Where we were going wrong, now those days are gone.
