London Boys

Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know

Livin' will be easier tomorrow
That is what my friends would always say
A truer love will surely come my way
But pickin' up the pieces ain't so easy
Lord, I'm crying in the rain
But I'd do it all again

Oh, Sandra !
Oh, Sandra !
Tonight I call your name
I don't know were to go
Without that lovin' feeling
Oh, Sandra !
Oh, Sandra !
Please help me if you can
The tears are in my eyes
Yes, tonight I need you

Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know

The constellation of two hearts together
Playin' hide and seek, no room for love
Just victims of a lonely circumstance
Just strike a kiss,
And when your hearts on fire
You will touch the burning flame...
Lord, I'd do it all again

Oh, Sandra !
Oh, Sandra !
Tonight I call your name
I don't know were to go
Without that lovin' feeling
Oh, Sandra !
Oh, Sandra !
Please help me if you can
The tears are in my eyes
Yes, tonight I need you
Sandra ! Sandra !
Wo-oh-wo-oh-wo-oh
I need you so-oh
Huuuuu

Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know

Drop your dreams on the 1 - one !
Drop your dreams on the 2 - two !
Every day, better get away
And there's nothing you can do,
Oh honey,
Trade your life on the 1 - one !
Swap your soul on the 2 - two !
Every day, hear the people say
That there's nothing there for you,
But we say:
Brother-love is the key - right !
Hatin' people is wrong - wrong !
Every day, there's a better way
And there's so much we can do,
Oh honey,
Buildin' heaven is right - right !
Demolition is wrong - wrong !
Up and down, all around the globe
Let the people sing the song,
Oh honey

Sweet love, high on emotion
Life is a wonder, let it come true
Reach out your hands and you'll get the notion
There is no love without you !

*Kimbaley my ma-mama said, I love you girl
Proud and leavin' free ! hey ! hey ! hey ! (x2)

Drop your fears on the 1 - one !
All your cares on the 2 - two !
Trouble - shootin' is over now
And the countin's done for you
'Cause we say:
Buildin' heaven is right - right !
Demolition is wrong - wrong !
Up and down, all around the globe
Let the people sing the song,
Oh honey

Sweet love, high on emotion
Life is a wonder, let it come true
Reach out your hands and you'll get the notion
There is no love without you !

*Repeat

Deep in my mind, there's a wrong and a right,
I know
And it's gettin' better
Count all my fears, walk away from the tears,
I'll go
Where the sun is shining bright
Under southern skies...

It was back in '69
Like a nightmare cryin'
In a hotel bed on the coast
Happy Shanghai girls
Like a pretty string of pearls
And a snow storm up in my nose

I was on my way to heaven
With a funky red 11
And a switchblade job on the side
Hear the music playin'
And my heartbeat prayin'
To the airwaves out in the night

Ouuh radio! I love my radio, my Chinese radio!
Ouuh radio! I love my radio, my Chinese radio!
Ouuh!

*Oh, I could write a million stories
Tales of love and hate and pain
And my fears would truly frighten
Any ordinary man
Is there someone out there laughing
Walking in the pouring rain?
Lord, I'm sure I know the answers
But it's too hard to explain

Now my head is burning
And I feel it turning
In an igloo up on the moon
Saying: Lord, have mercy
On a guy from Jersey
And it falls back into my room

Just a stranded tourist
And I wouldn't touch the purest
If I ever get out here alive
While the FM-switches
And the green light-digits
Keep in touch with the world outside

Ouuh radio! I love my radio, my Chinese radio!
Ouuh radio! I love my radio, my Chinese radio!
Ouuh!

*Repeat

Just a river on the run, now
I'm flyin' and I won't touch down
Got nowhere left to run
I get on my knees and pray

*Repeat

Love was gone in your eyes
Like the clear morning skies
Our love would never be
The cheerful days
The stormy nights
A burning mystery

Like a thief in the night
Run away and I hide
Don't know the reason why
I lie away and think of you
I love you
For the rest of my life

*Fell in love, got it rough
Had enough with a Wichitah woman
She was cool like a breeze
Lookin' out for a Wichitah man, woooh!
Fell in love, got it rough
Had enough with a Wichitah woman
She thought I was the one
But I wasn't her Wichitah man!

She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Boy, you turn my life around and
Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Boy, you spin me turnin' round and round

Eagle fly in the night
Take me high in the sky
That's where I wanna be
The wheels of time
Will take it rhyme
A page of history

Silver moon in the night
Broken dreams in my mind
Don't know the reason why
I lie away and think of you
I love you
For the rest of my life

Fell in love, got it rough
Had enough with a Wichitah woman
She was cool like a breeze
Lookin' out for a Wichitah man!

She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Hugh! Hugh! Get on down
She said: Boy, you spin me turnin' round and round
