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

Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still youre not there
Youre a long time gone
Such a long time gone

Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away til its all obsolete
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone

Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will

Youre a long time gone

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

Youre a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Youre a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
Youre a long time gone

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.

She was a good girl
Been true to herself
Never swayed by the notions of somebody else
She'd had it rough, maybe most of the time
With only one thing on her mind

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

There could be blue skies in her heart
She was waitin' for the good times to start
She never wanted diamonds
She never wanted gold
She was holdin' out for someone to hold

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

A loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

Loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man

The gold verandah in the dark has gone,
Down to the metal man,
No better time to leave the ground,
And maybe try to understand,

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright,

And through the darkest times of your life,
You always tried to be the one,
And now the times have made you wonder,
If you ever knew what was going on,

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

(Solo)

No use thinkin' about what you ain't got,
Just makes you bitter,
And as you speak everything you say,
Goes out on the Big Transmitter,

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

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:

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

Blue violin
Play for me your saddest melody
Violin
Play for me your saddest melody

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 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

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

Do you remember, you said to me
That you would wait, wait for me eternally
I've been wondering, and I've been hoping
your still the same, only you can say
I'll be so glad to be back with you
I'll do anything you want me to

That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home

I see your light, shine in my window
And I know I am coming home
And as the light grows, grows ever brighter
I see your face, you are alone
And when I tell you all the things I have seen
You'll say that darling you must have been dreaming

That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home

Electric visions have crossed, strange decisions have crossed
I thank the stars above me, I have someone to love me
That's what I want, I'll be so happy, back home

Believe me baby when I say, I wish I never, never,
never, never, never be away
For the things that I see, Be meant for the eyes of a time
And when we walk alone together
That's how I want it to be, want it to be forever

That's what I want, I'll be so happy
That's what I want, I'll be so happy
That's what I want, I'd be so happy, back home

Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all

I've see bold knights dropping down like flies,
I've see kings rolling in the mire,
I've seen God point the finger of doom to our foes.
I have fought in the holiest wars,
I have spent some of the holiest chores.
I've been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world.

One thing I have learned through these years
Is that no man should be stricken with fear.
It should be that he walks with no care in the world.
So my friends, who are gathered today,
Hear this clear, for I'll not further say
That no man shall cause me to take up arms again.

Talk is cheap, but it can't pay
For all the hurt you threw my way
Oh, no - Oh, no

Love is blind but I can see
You're trying to make a fool of me
I know - I know

Sometimes I feel just like I'm running on ice
I might slip and slide girl
But you won't hurt me twice, oh no

*No matter what you say
You'll never stop me
Breaking down the walls around your heart
No matter what you do
You just can't stop me
Breaking down the walls around your heart

Love is passion, love is pain
The heat is on, we're all insane
I know, I know

Life is bitter, life is sweet
You just can't ever admit defeat
Oh, no - oh, no

Sometimes it feels like we've been fighting too long
It can't be right to make me feel so wrong - oh, no

*Repeat

Did you ever feel like superman
got the world in your hands
But you never can
Seem to break down the walls

Did you ever feel like a drowning man
Got your life in your hands
But you never can
Seem to break down the walls

Sometimes it feels just like I'm running on ice
I might slip and slide girl
But you won't hurt me twice - oh, no

*Repeat

Pretty pretty are the girls as they go by
Chilly chilly is the air under moonlit sky
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

Chorus: the cities watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Silly silly are the thoughts that fill your head
Wish i'd never set out, wish i'd stayed in bed
You see reflections from across the street
So you better start movin' stop draggin' your feet

(chorus)

Money money, gotta get some money and run
It's an issue i find unenviable
It doesn't matter which way you turn
But you gotta keep trying cause you never learn

(chorus)

Funny funny how the world goes round and round
You better watch your step don't make a sound
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

(chorus)

Pretty pretty
Chilly chilly
Silly silly
Money money

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
Walkin' on a waves 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 head

Breakdown on the shore line
Can't move, it's and ebb tide
Morning don't go here tonight
Searching for her silver light
(repeat chorus)

Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and
Ivanhoe and Lancelot they don't envy me
Sitting till the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps going round and round
(repeat chorus

Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walkin' on a waves 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 head

Breakdown on the shore line
Can't move, it's and ebb tide
Morning don't go here tonight
Searching for her silver light
(repeat chorus)

Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and
Ivanhoe and Lancelot they don't envy me
Sitting till the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps going round and round
(repeat chorus

Midnight on the water.
I saw the ocean's daughter.
Walking on a wave she came,
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 head.
Breakdown on the shoreline,
can't move, it's an ebbtide.
Morning don't get here till night,
searching for her silver light.
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 head, no no.
Bank job in the city.
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy
me, yeh.
Sitting till the sun goes down,
in dreams the world keep going round and round.
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 head, no no.
No, 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 head, no no no no.

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,

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

Everywhere the sun is shinning
all around the world it's shinning
but cold winds blow across you 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 noone there for you to lean on

Everynight 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'll leave it all up to you
you've lost your love and you just can't carry on
you feel there's noone 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 noone there for you to lean on

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...

I'm getting outta here, 'cause there's too many complications
Yeah, I'm getting outta here, don't get given any information
And if they ask you for a number to call, just say I'm gone, that's all.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

If anybody wants me, just say you don't know the address
'Cause I've had enough of the confusion and the madness
And should anybody ever try to stall, just say I'm gone, that's all.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

I'm tired of playing other peoples' games
Tired of waiting for some things to change.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

I'm tired of playing other peoples' games
Tired of waiting for some things to change.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown.

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home.
Destination unknown...

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?

In this life I′ve seen everything I can see woman
I′ve seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I′ve seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I′ve seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I′ve seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I′ve seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
But I never seen nothing 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 morning sun
They come a′runnin′ just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don′t give a damn

Well I think you know what I′m trying 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

Well, in this life I seen everything I can see
Well I, I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand,
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I've seen sweet dreams
that came from the heavenly skies above.
I've seen old ladies crying at their own grave sides,
And I've seen pigs all sitting, looking at 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

Well I, heard the choir singin' out of tune,
As they sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of
the moon.
I heard the preacher bangin' on the drums,
But I never heard nothing like you.

In the country, where the sky touches down
On the field, you lay your head down
to rest in the morning sun.
They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch your long black hair, they don't give a damn.

Well I, do you understand what I'm trying to say to you all,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day, yeah,
I've seen enough of the world to know baby,
That I've got to get it on to get it on tomorrow.

Why do I say, don't walk away
You'll be the way you were before, when you don't want me anymore

Don't turn around, don't ever leave, a lonely room where empty days
Are gathering to meet me when you're gone, gone
How in the world will I go on

(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (don't walk away)

Don't walk away (don't walk away), don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (don't turn around), don't let it die (don't let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Don't walk away

Is it a dream, when will it end
When everything we've ever known has ended and I'm all alone

Where will I go, where will I be, the feelings that I've never shown
Maybe I'll find the answer when you're gone, gone
How in the world will I go on

(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (don't walk away)

Don't walk away (don't walk away), don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (don't turn around), don't let it die (don't let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Don't walk away

Don't walk away (don't walk away), don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (don't turn around), don't let it die (don't let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Don't walk away

Don't walk away (don't walk away), don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (don't turn around), don't let it die (don't let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Don't walk away

Don't want to talk, don't want to walk
Don't want to do anything
Don't want to kick, don't want to scream
Don't want to sleep, don't want to dream
Just want to sit, just want to stare
Do what you want I don't care
Wait for the phone, wait for the ring
Don't want to do anything

Don't want to work, don't want to play
Just sit around everyday
Don't want to dance, don't want to sing
Don't want to do anything
Don't want to laugh, don't want to cry
Just want to sit and wonder why
It's just too much without your touch
Don't want to do anything

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

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

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.

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

One, two, three...

Tell me I'm mistaken
I must be kinda slow
But the only time you ever cared
Was when you needed more ... easy money, easy money
You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money

If you see a sucker standing at your door
Bring him in and make him grin
Then take him to the store
Easy money, easy money
Watch out from above
You broke into the bank of love
Easy money

Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough
Easy money, easy money
Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough

I've come to the conclusion it's like the old man said
The only thing you gave me was shit and promises
Easy money, whoa whoa whoa, easy money
One day you'll have to earn all the money that you burn
Easy money

Take it, Jeff ....

Easy money

Wha, wha, yeah

Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough
Easy money, easy money
Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough

Funny thing about it
Don't even make me blue
'Cause there's no better deal around
Than saying goodbye to you
Easy money, easy money

You snatched that cash right into your stash, easy money
You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money
Easy money, woo woo woo, easy money

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)
