Don Airey [Keyboards]

I've got nothing to say today
I used my words up yesterday

I'm just lying here in the sun
Watching you guys having fun

Seven days and seven nights
Working till you got it right

Don't help me I'll help myself
I'll pull some crackers off the shelf

She had her hair done yesterday
Now she's coming out to play

First you pull and then you push
Two in the hand and one in the bush

Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say we've
Been invited
Now we're going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice

Some will rise and some will fall
Some will come to nothing at all

The strangest people have the power
To lead me to my darkest hour

How can you be sure it's me
When it's payment on delivery

Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say we've
Been invited
Now we're going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice
Now my love is
Richer than rich
'Cause I studied
Mathematics
Graduated
Without honours
Everyone has
Gone Bananas

I don't have a problem
I'm not seeking her advice
I'm saving that for later
Yeh, it's something awful nice
I had a shaky feeling
When she floated into sight
I imagine we'll be doing it tonight

I'm ragged round the edges
All these people in the room
There's magic in the air
I'm guessing she can feel it too
Prospective recreation
Helps me keep her in my sight
I imagine we'll be doing it tonight

That's why everybody's sitting around
We can't think of nothing better to do
There's no empty bottle
They're all half full
So we end up spinning a shoe

We keep on going 'til poor old Lenny's
Got drool hanging off of his chin
He can't stop winning
When the shoe stops spinning
But he doesn't know where to begin

She wasn't in the running
She was never in the game
I could see her in the distance
But I could not lay my claim
Let me tell you 'bout this cherry
I never got a single bite
Therefore I imagine we'll be doing it tonight

I hear the beating of your wings
And you're playing on my strings
In mysterious ways
You draw me in
To a love
Beyond all understanding

Beyond my reach
So far away
But it seems
Like only yesterday

I'm Haunted
Haunted
Is that what you wanted

All that's left
Is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile
Then fades away

I hear your footsteps on the ground
Tempting me to turn around
It's just the echo
Of a disenchanted lover
Shuffling aimlessly
Homeward bound

To empty rooms
And picture frames
And Friends
Who can't recall our names

I'm Haunted
Haunted
Is that what you wanted

All that's left
Is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile
Then fades away

Have you ever had a woman that could make you crazy
Have you ever had a woman that could drive you mad
Have you ever had a woman give you so much trouble
And the best lovin' you ever had

My friends all say I'm losing it big time
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
Back to the house of pain

Have you ever had a rock that just keeps on rollin'
Have you ever seen a train comin' down the track
Have you ever jumped into the cold, cold never
And know there's no turning back

My friends all say I'm crazy, baby
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going home
Back to the house of pain

Have you ever had a weight that was much too heavy
Have you ever had a burden that was yours alone
Have you ever spent a night when you keep on waiting
Staring at the telephone

My friends all say I'm crazy, baby
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going back to my woman
Back to the house of pain
Then I run away
(chorus)
you'll always be my inspiration
I love you from afar

So many signs
So many ways
It's a living thing
No need to rush
The buzz will last for days

When you discover
I'm just a man
Take it girl
Or leave it
Don't be reading out the label on the can

I got your number
I got your number
I got your number

I'll be your lover
I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend
And your brother in love
But that's where the story ends

If you say jump
I'll do it with affection
But don't get pissed
If I don't move
Too fast in your direction

I got your number
I got your number
I got your number

It's that same old nonsense
That same old look
But now I'm turning back
And I can read you like a book
It all means nothing
Nothing at all
It's the same old business
Man it drives me up the wall

You made the potion too strong
I feel I'm going soft
I've been that way far too long
You see, now it's wearing off

So many times
So many days
It's a spiritual thing
That loving touch
I thought you'd be amazed

I like the distance
I like the space
The money's good
The rent is cheap
And I can read suspicion on your face

I got your number
I got your number
I got your number

Never a word, a word so true
Passed between us, me and you
Heard you found your pot of gold
That's the story I've been told

Never a word was said in vain
Some were never sad again
Some were lost in lovers' heat
Some lay fallen at our feet

All day all night
You and only you
All day all night
I think of you and only you

Never a word escaped my lips
Silenced by your fingertips
I kept my word, can you believe
All this time so hard to breathe
Hard to breathe

I hear they're trying to make us all the same
It's mind control by any other name
Who's gonna pay the price
For this foolish paradise
Oh匨omma don't take that train

I hear it said we're headed too far south
Chinese whispers go by word of mouth
Rules for every size and shape
The nag has gone, shut the gate
Once you're in you're never getting out

I'm so misunderstood
There goes my manlihood
She's in my face again
With that picture of innocence

No drinks, No smokes
No dicking around
No dirty jokes
Straight lace, straight face
The old straight jacket
We got no hope

I hear they're gonna try out something new
I can feel it sticking to my shoe
So this is what tomorrow holds
Hopes and dreams are bought and sold
But still the world is misty green and blue

I', so misunderstood
There goes my mannish boyhood
She's in my face again
With that picture of innocence

No deals, No strokes
No forbidden fruit
No holy smoke
What next, no sex
That's the end of the road
That's the end of the road
We got no hope

No drinks, No smokes
No dicking around
No dirty jokes
Straight lace, straight face
The old straight jacket
We got no hope

No deals, No strokes
No forbidden fruit
No holy smoke
What next, no sex
That's the end of the road
We got no hope

I don't have the time of day
I don't know what day I is
Someone's falling on my head
Get up単et up
We're going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
To me it don't matter
It's where I belong
It's a matter of distinction
A real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction
And a wonderful time
This room's so cold and bare
There's nothing here for me
I've got to find some heat somewhere
Get up単et up
We're going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
It really doesn't matter
When I'm bangin' on a gong
While someone's holding out
To a willing congregation
And we can all forget about
The state of the nation
Can't hear a thing
But I see your lips are moving
I'm working on my thinking
And I think it's improving
I'm going to get the blame
So I might as well deliver
If only I can swim across
This weird human river
I know I started out
With the best of intentions
Some blinding inspiration
And a few not-to-mention
And now I'm looking deep
Into the last dying embers
Shouting what are we doing here
And nobody remembers
I've lost a friend or two
I don't know where they have gone
Only one thing I can do
Get up単et up
I'm going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
To me it don't matter
It's where I belong
It's a matter of distinction
A real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction
And a wonderful time

Well I'm standing here on moving station
All the world is traveling by
To strange outlandish destinations
There they go, I wonder why

I may be crazy
But I'm no stupid
I get along
I use my silver tongue

You know I can dream in any language
Flying on my magic bed
And I don't need to work my passage
All I do is use my head

I may be crazy
But I'm no stupid
Sometimes I ramble
The I'm Lucid
I might seem lazy
But I'm hurting no-one
I get along
I use my silver tongue

I know exactly what you're thinking
But you don't know what's in my mind
You went too fast and now your sinking
Because you forgot to read the signs

Oh you're all looking up
With hearts of devotion
Through the dust and the heat lost to me
In a cloud of emotion
I have no motivation
To keep this breathless pace
I'm more inclined to stay here
In this breathing space

And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up

I never tried to walk the walk
'Cos the steps are elusive
The membership is too costly
And exclusive
Hey, the more I've got
The more I stand to lose
So I'm gonna unpack my bags
And take off my shoes

And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up

Let me tell you there's no point knocking
At the big oak door
Can't you see that it's all full up
They can't take no more
The line's so long
It's almost Disney
Ooh?
Wont somebody kiss me

And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up

If you don't like what you see
If you can do better than me
Walk on

If the road before you winds
Obscuring al the signs
Walk on

You mean more to me
Than just a pretty face
I wont hold you down
You need a little space

If you don't like what you see
If you can do better than me
Walk on

You know I don't like to fight
No matter who's wrong or right
Walk on

I know you, you know me
I?m the black sheep of the family
I?m in an?out of trouble
I?m the talk of the town
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down...
I steal around, like a thief in the night
Dancing ?til the break of day
Bad Boys
Running undercov

I'm getting ready
I'm in the mood to fool around.
It's time for action
Now the boys are back in town.
So turn up the music,
Make it loud and proud.
Let's see reaction
Let the spotlight hit the crowd.
Don't hide what you feel inside,
Don't let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher.
Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
You got the power,
I feel your fire in my soul.
You got the fever,
'Cos you were born to rock an' roll.
Don't run for cover,
I'm gonna show you what I've learned.
Just come a little closer,
Come on an' get your fingers burned.
Don't hide what you feel inside,
Don't let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher.
Now are you ready to rock,
Are you ready to roll,
Are you ready to rock.
(Solo)
Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
I'm getting ready,
I'm in the mood to fool around.
It's time for action,
'Cos now the boys are back in town.
Don't hide what you feel inside,
Don't let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher.
Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to rock,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to rock,
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
Just let the music take you higher.

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever,
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night,
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life.

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind.
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry.

The sun is shining
Oh, but, it's raining in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted,
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more, more, more.
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution,
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad.

The sun is shining
Oh baby, it's still raining in my heart, in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain, no, no, no.

(Solo)

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain...

Crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.

(Coverdale/Sykes)

You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sanest
As you surrender to your fears

So what's a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone

You say your heart is lost forever
And you're always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again

You turn away from what you feel inside,
You can't forget all your foolish pride

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night is gone

So now I'm asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you want to drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again

Don't turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone

Don't turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Don't put me away,
Don't walk away from me darling
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An' I'm coming for you, baby...

When I first saw you baby
You took my breath away,
I knew your name was Trouble
But, my heart got in the way.
I couldn't stop myself from reaching out,
I could not turn away.
I don't even know your name
An' I can't leave you alone,
I'm running round in circles
Like a dog without a bone.
I know the game you're playing
But, baby I just can't let go.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I'll do anything you want
Just give me all of your loving tonight.
I'll work hard everyday
To love and treat you right.
I'll rock you in the morning
And roll you in the night.
Any way you want
I'm gonna prove my love for you.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight.
I am blinded by your smile
And I'm crazy about your walk.
I shiver and I shake
When I hear you baby talk.
I'm a fool for your loving babe,
Give me all your loving tonight.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight.
Anything you want from me.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight.

No I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find
what I'm looking for
Oh Lord I pray
You give me strength to carry on
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along
the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road
I've ever known
Like a hobo
I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in
need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along
the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road
I've ever known
Like a hobo
I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again

An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road
I've ever known
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along
the lonely street of dreams

I'm tired of waiting
An' closing my eyes
I'm asking myself
Why is it all my horizons
Are so far away.

I look in the mirror
Don't like what I see,
In my reflection
A stranger is staring at me,
Looking for love.

The love of a woman
The needs of a man,
I try so hard to believe
But I don't understand,
The search goes on.

But over the mountains
Across the sea,
I know love is waiting
I hear it calling to me,
Calling my name.

I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me.
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart.

Alone again, It's always the same
I've just been marking my time
Since the day I was born,
With no one to blame.

The candle is burning
It's way down low
I just need someone
To show me the way, the way to go,
Which way to go.

I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me.
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart.

I'm looking for love,
An' finding only heartache.
Looking for a love,
An' finding only heartache.
I'm looking for love to rely on,
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on.
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart,
To rescue the state of my heart.

Oh baby.

(Solo)

I'm looking for love,
An' finding only heartache.
Looking for a love,
An' finding only heartache.
I'm looking for love to rely on,
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on.
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart

I?m coming round to see you
Kicking down your door
I?ve got to tell you girl
I really can?t take no more...
Cos i?ve been hearing about you
Everybody says you?re front page news
Layint it down, all around the town
Giving all the boys the blues
Stand and deli

Now I know
I've seen that look
On your face before
When you realised
All the memories
Walked right out the door.

Now it's eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
No more hiding behind the truth
I'm gonna get exactly
What's coming to me.

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it.
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it.

Now you say
I took advantage of you
When you never knew the score
But, you should know
We've been this way
One thousand times before.

You told me once,
You told me twice
It's down to me, girl
To pay the price
But, this time's the last time
That's for sure.

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it.
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it.
Yes you are.

You talk of how our love
Was meant to be
And all the time
You sacrificed for me.

So how could I forget it,
Why should I regret it
'Cos when you told me you loved me
I knew it was lies
So no more crying, no more goodbyes,
'Cos this time's the last time
That's for sure.

(Solo)

Now you say
There is no one in the world
Can get the better of you.
An' you should know
'Cos you never made it easy
With the pain you put me through.

I told you once
I told you twice
It's down to you, girl
To pay the price
'Cos this time's the last time
That's for sure.

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it.
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it...

I just can't take anymore,
No more, no more, no more
