Can't you hear that lonely symphony
It's playing just for me
It's the same old misery
Trying to bring me down
And I just wanna cry out loud
And tell you how I feel
Seeing your face in every crowd
Is making my heart beat harder.
For the chance to be near you
And whenever I see you
And there's nothing can hold me down.

Oh Anna Julia
Oh Anna Julia

All the guys that follow you around
Are trying to catch your eye
They just think that I'm a clown
I'm crazy to even try
But when I see you on the street
My whole world starts to change
Then the blood beneath my feet
Starts burning me up like a fire
And I feel like I'm falling
That's when I hear you calling
Hold my breath and look around.

Oh Anna Julia
Oh Anna Julia

Pray for the day when your love sets me free
People say there's no way
That your love's not for me
But there'll come a day
When I tell you all that I feel
And they'll stand and watch
While you walk away with me

Oh Anna Julia
Oh Anna Julia
Oh Anna Julia
Oh Anna Julia, Julia, Julia... ow ow ow..

Capaldi

He tries so hard to get himself together.
But he's so weak he couldn't lift a feather.
And it looks as though it's gonna be bad weather,
When he comes down from the clouds.

His mother says, I wish he'd should stop his drinking.
He's like a ship that's on the verge of sinking.
But she don't see his pupils as they're shrinking,
When he's away in the clouds.


He's just a boy with a problem he caun't conceal.
He thinks he's controlling his habit,
But soon from this earth
He will leave


He used to be a very happy fellow,
And everything he did was very mellow.
But now his skin is slowly turning yellow,
Looking just like a bad dream.

He used to play a melody so pretty.
On a silver stick a long way from the city.
But now my heart is so filled up with pity.
What can we do with him now.


He's just a boy with a problem he caun't conceal.
He thinks he's controlling his habit.
But soon from this earth
He will leave


I'm gonna write a song and send it to him.
And maybe he will see just what I'm feelin'.
I've still got love and hope and my affection,
To keep him from fading away.

The earth is pure, its veins are rivers of water.
And man should be as a father to a daughter.
But he does what he likes, because he thinks he's bought her.
Laughing while he injects her with his filth.


He's just a boy with a problem, lost out in space
We're turning him into a junkie, look at his face,
What a disgrace!

Capaldi

Don't be a hero, heroes are so sad
Don't be a hero, it'll just make you feel bad
Beware of the candyman, he doesn't realise
That the present that he's brought for you is gonna burn out your eyes.

Old Pharaoh's daughter once swallowed a grain
Which took her to Hades, where they blew out her brain
All the physicians just looked on in shame
Om the walls of the temple they erased her name.

'I'll see you tomorrow' - I heard someone say
The man he was talking to had faded away
Oh how he must have cried when he was alone
For the devil had taken his soul and the snow had froze him to the bone.

God's living herb is OK I suppose
But the thorn in your side once grew on a rose
So just take it easy, that's all I beseech
For love is the highest high you can reach.

Capaldi

Eve, there's a woman in your eyes
Oh Eve, you made me realise
Eve, give me a smile
Oh Eve, you're only a child.

But it's making me turn my head all the time
'Cause looking at your face is like seeing the sunshine.

Eve, I'll never let you down
Oh Eve, I'll always be around.

And it's making me turn my head all the time
'Cause looking at your face is like seeing the sunshine.

Oh Eve, give me a smile
Oh Eve, you're only a child.

Capaldi

How much can a man really take
When he's pushed himself too far ?
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star.

How many times have I seen him fall ?
How many times ? Too many to recall
Come on home.

He left his home in search of his soul
A many miles he did travel
Towards the East and distant shores
For the mystery of life to unravel
And many wondrous sights he did see
While passing through those lands
But he cast a shadow deep and long
Across the moving sands.

How much can a man really take
When he's pushed himself too far ?
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star.

How many times have I seen him fall ?
How many times ? Too many to recall
Come on home.

Fate was about to deal him a card
From the bottom of the pack
And he met his end in fair Nepal
With a dagger in his back
So raise up your eyes and see
That angel in the sky
And remember when you're searchin' for your soul
You're searchin' for to die.

How much can a man really take
When he's pushed himself too far ?
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star.

How many times have I seen him fall ?
How many times ? Too many to recall
Let's go.

Oh yeah, come on home, come on home
Got to get on home ...

You know I've had my share of dealing with despair.
I'm tired of seeing my dreams vanish in the air.
Enough of users and all them two time losers.
I've seen that killing floor and I just won't take no more.

So I'm gonna move out on the highway.
Head on down the road leaving it all behind.
Had enough of lying. There'll be no more crying this time.
Living on the edge. Running with the wind.
Soaring to the heights on an eagle's wing.

If you wanna see your spirit flying free.
Then step outside your mind and cross over the line.
Don't spend your lifetime weeping.
For things that ain't worth keeping.
Life can be very short and you know everybody is bought.

So I'm gonna move out on the highway.
Head on down the road leaving it all behind.
Had enough of lying. There'll be no more crying this time.
Living on the edge. Running with the wind.
Soaring to the heights on an eagle's wing.

It's time to go down to Mexico.
Mescalitos' song will help you to be strong.

So come on move on down the highway.
Head on down the road leaving it all behind.
Had enough of lying. There'll be no more crying this time.

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart, it's not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a flower, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts

I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, oo love hurts

Some fools dream of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness


Some fools fool themselves, I guess, but they're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, oo love hurts

Some fools dream of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess, but they're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, love hurts, oo love hurts
Oo love hurts, yeah love hurts ....

Capaldi

He's a rebel and an angel of the devil
You can't see him but he's always on the level
He's a driver, a survivor from the law, oh yeah
And if you cheat him, he will even up the score, oh.

He's a traveller, an unraveler of your mind, yeah
He's the high priest, freedom is his only shrine, oh
He's the shadow, he can see behind your eyes
He's got the power, he's like lightning from the skies.

He's a low rider, oh, hey hey,
I said low rider, oh oh oh oh, hey.

He's been down in the ground
He's been kicked and he's been pushed around
But now he's coming back, coming back to claim his crown, hey, alright.

Rider passed by, rider passed by the local sheriff, uh
Sheriff chased him, started chasing him with his gun
The rider lost him, lost him in the backstreets, oh yeah
Then he burned the town up, burned the town up just for fun.

Sheriff got mad, said : 'I'm gonna get thet rider'
He couldn't stand to see the rider running free
He told the deputy : 'Go 'round up, up the posse, oh'
He said to meet him outside Smokey Joe's Cafe.

The rider came down through the town
The sheriff's men they cut him down
Low rider, now they've finally got your crown.

I said : 'Ah!'.

Low rider, low rider ...

Man with no country
Jim Capaldi

Man with no country
Just a guitar and a love that he sung
(he only wants to see)

Man with no country
walking along down long dusty roads
(he wants to stay ahead of everything)

He's got to see new horizons each day
He'll never stay

Man with no country
Looks up and sees birds in the sky
(he wants to be so free to fly high)

Man with no country
Never looks back to that place that he´s coming from
(something inside him always moving on)

Though he'll remember the moments of making new friends each day
Still he won't stay

Man with no country
Comes into town and looks for a bar
(somwehere that he can play his acoustic guitar)

The girl at a moment sees him and says "I'd like the way that you


touch the strings
come play with me I'll give you everything"

But he's such in other things that will set him so free
(that's the way he knows it's got to be)
And heaven is a long long way from where he stands
He's a very lonely man

But he's such in other things that will set him so free
(that's the way he knows it's got to be)
It's gotta be
And heaven is a long long way from where he stands
He's a very lonely man

Ohhhhhh
Man with no country
Yeah
Man with no country
Ohhhhhh
Man with no country
Ohhhhhh
Man with no country
Uhhhhhh Yeh Yeh Yeh
Man with no country

Oh how we danced on the night that we wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the sky
Except for the two that were there in your eyes.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love you so.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love ..

Oh how we danced on the night that we wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the sky
Except for the two that were there in your eyes.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love ..
Alright, come on.

Capaldi

Open your door so I can see your love
Open your heart so I can be a part
Of all you feel as you are me and me is you.

Loving you then the way I did before
Loving you now just makes me love you more
Each day I see that you are me and me is you.

Feeling love is true
Living love is real
How can I explain ?
Do you feel the same ?

Open your door so I can see your love
Open your heart so I can be a part
Of all you feel as you are me and me is you.

Loving you then the way I did before
Loving you now just makes me love you more
Each day I see that you are me and me is you.

Open your heart
Open your heart
...

Flyin' over the sea,
Oh how I wish it could be me.
Seagull flyin' over the sea,
Oh how I wish that it could be me.
But I'm grounded here, just like a stone.
Just like a king, who's lost his throne.
Oh the seagull, if I had your wings.
I could do so many things.
Fly away over the sun. Fly away over the moon.
Seagull flyin' over the sea . Oh how I wish it could be me.

Fly away to some distant shore,
And never be afraid any more.
Seagull flyin' over the sea. Oh how I wish it could be me.
Seagull flyin' over the sea. Oh how I wish that I could be free.
Seagull please don't wear a frown.
When you're flying high and you look down.
Seagull when you look down on me
Seeing a man who just wants to be free.
Seeing a man who just wants to be free.
Seeing a man who just wants to be free.

We started off heading for the top and set our sights on the sun.
Now there's no more tears as we're standing here, and the morning light has begun.
They said that you'll expire. You're wasting your time to try.
But inside a heart of fire is a force you can't deny.

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong, born of the sun.
Like a fire burns inside me so strong

We live in hope waiting for the day, when all our dreams can begin.
But the time it takes for the rain to fall, is the time it takes to give in.
They said that you'll expire. You're wasting your time to try.
But inside a heart of fire, is a force you can't deny.

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong, born of the sun.
Like a fire, sea of fire, burns inside me so strong.


Love is what brought us here.
And no-one can deny.

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire.
Something so strong born of the sun, taking me higher.
Something so strong been coming so long, burning desire.

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire.
Something so strong born of the sun, taking me higher
Something so strong been coming so long, burning desire

Something so strong driving me on, never tire.
Something so strong burning so long, like a fire.

Whale meat again under the sun
Every twelve minutes and another one's gone
His meat's in your make-up, his flesh is on your lips
As a nuclear warhead explodes in his hips.

Scientists are saying : 'Now we've got to do something soon'
But sitting around talking about it ain't gonna stop that harpoon
Oh, whale meat again, when will it end ?
Not 'til everything is dead, alright.

Woman's in labour, she screams at the sky
Somebody take this pain away, I'm gonna lay here and die
The doctor rushes in, puts a needle in her skin
And says : 'Oh, come on now, you really must try'.

If you go slowly, then you won't be lonely
But everybody keeps on rushing around
It's bringing me down, hey.

Mr. Politician, can't you see ?
You're gonna kill everything including you and me
So while you're talking in your expensive clothes
I think somebody's going to shove something up your nose.

The whale boats are sailing, tonight they'll be whaling
Oh, there gonna be frying tonight.

Oh, beauty, all the love
Oh, God, if you're really up above
Do something now
Oh, do something now
...

You know I've had my share of dealing with despair.
I'm tired of seeing my dreams vanish in the air.
Enough of users and all them two time losers.
I've seen that killing floor and I just won't take no more.

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
Call all my reindeer to graze here, call all my grain to grow
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

Many a thought unanswered, many a tale to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
And together we melt like the snow

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

A few more miles to go
Miles to freedom

In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning never learning
Had to make a break
And soon I had to wake up feeling stronger,
feeling stronger
In my island of dreams,
with impossible schemes
- 간 주 중 -
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of cans
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing
Had to make a break
I knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger,
feeling stronger
In my island of dreams,
with impossible schemes
- 간 주 중 -
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
- 간 주 중 -
Had to make a break
I knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger,
feeling stronger
In my island of dreams,
with impossible schemes

Withering tree, bearing no fruit
Never will see an evergreen suit
Reaching right out, out for the sun
Broken old branches, fall one by one
Into the arms of eternity
Fighting the fish up from the deep
Oh how I wish the lake would not sleep
Following dreams into the blue
There you will see, hidden from view
Trees in the arms of eternity
Into the arms of eternity

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
Call all my reindeer to graze here, call all my grain to grow
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

Many a thought unanswered, many a tale to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
