They say some days you're gonna win,
They say some days you're gonna lose. I tell you I got news for you Your losin' all the time you never win If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down Get off your tightrope up there come down on The ground you gotta save me now, You better turn around. When I looked around, I was heading down. Won't somebody throw me down a line. They say some days you gotta give They say some days you gotta take If that's the way it's gotta be, Roll it over and you will see. The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time. The change from night to day is really only hours, It's just along the line can't you see the sign When I looked around, I was heading down, Won't somebody throw me down a line. I want to look you straight in the eye, I want to tell you how I really feel, I can feel the wheels turnin' round, Won't somebody throw me down a line The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time, The change from night to day is really only hours It's just along the line, can't you see the sign When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised Somebody had thrown me down the linestopped me drownin |

Hellohow are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights, That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything, If you'd pick up that telephone. Heyhow you feelin' Are you still the same Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream, I just can't believe They've all faded out of view. I look into the sky And I wonder why CHORUS Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight O.K. so noone's answering, Well can't you just let it ring a little longer I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night Let it ring for evermore.

Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet It knocked me right back in the alley I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready And I'm really gonna rock tonight. Sweet little lady sings like a songbird And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard, But she ain't ready, No, no, no, she ain't ready No, no, no, she ain't ready, And she ain't gonna rock & roll CHORUS She's sweet on Wagner, I think she'd die for Beethoven, She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune, And Verdi's always creeping from her room Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose, Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready I wanna show you how to rock and roll. Now listen here baby she, said to me Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three, 'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready, I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues. CHORUS repeat Far, far away the music is playing. Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night, Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light, And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes. And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues, And as the night grew older everybody was As one, The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure, I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure, But it's alright |

For may days we travelled from a distant place and time,
To reach a place they call the planet Earth, There was to be a celebration, On the mission of the sacred heart. The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue And floating softly through a rainbow, But when you touch down things look different here, At the mission of the sacred heart. CHORUS Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I? On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby, In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow And someone's singing from a window In the mission of the sacred heart. CHORUS repeat There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land, On a place they call the planet Earth, My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by, From the mission of the sacred heart.

Two drifters sailing wide and high, When summer breezes blow across your mind, With you, I will walk the line. CHORUS I want it so fine I want it so fine I want it so fine People walking hand in hand, Everybody's singing to the band, I want to be where the stars shine bright, And hear sweet music on a summer night.

Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day, Moving in line when you look back in time To your first day CHORUS -- repeat Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream CHORUS -- repeat |

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. |

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?

Someone calling at my door, Too bad, I'm getting out of love. What's the use of changing things, Wonder what tomorrow brings, Who knows, I'm getting out of love. CHORUS My Shangri-la has gone away, Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude She seemed to drift out on the rain That came in somewhere softly from the blue Clouds roll by and hide the sun, Raindrops fall on everyone, So sad, I'm getting out of love.

Summer came and passed away, hardly seemed to last a day but it's over and what can I do? Music playin' in the air, silence on a darkened stair 'cos it's over and what can I do? It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down. When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye there is nothing much to speak of. Feelin' down, down, down, it's all over. Feelin' down, down, down. Baby, baby, it's all gone, rolled out to sea. Lookin' over sunny days, searchin' for the righteous wave 'cos it's over and what can I do? Lookin' from this distant shore you ain't sailin' by no more 'cos it's over and what can I do? It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down. When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye there is nothing much to speak of. Feelin' down, down, down, it's all over. Feellin' down, down, down. Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's all over and what can I do? Ah, it's over, it's over, it's all over.

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. - Jeff Lynne |

Standin' at the airport lookin' down the strip, she was cryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip. Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven and there's no turnin' round 'cos it's just leavin' the ground and gettin' higher HIGHER. Standin' at the dock-side lookin' out to sea when I saw her but she did not see me. There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat and as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day, back to the city CITY. Night in the city, o-o-oh, madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight, night in the city drivin' you insane. In the city CITY Night in the city, o-o-oh, madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight, night in the city drivin' you insane. I was runnin' kinda lonely at the city place. I waited for an hour, I never saw her face. Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake. I just can't take anymore, I'm going in through the door into the city CITY. I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, drivin' you insane.

You gotta stop foolin' around, keep your feet on the ground, little girl, and starlight will shine all around, little girl. Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away.

You gotta stop foolin' around, keep your feet on the ground, little girl, and starlight will shine all around, little girl. You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm But what's that going on, I think I'm outta my head Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm. Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley. A hundred animals were gathered 'round in the night Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm I stood and stared for quite a while Then a lion sang to me and smiled: "Come join us if you so desire." Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley. I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm "Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the might sun And joy to everyone that rides along!" Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley. And they danced! Pretty soon I knew the tune and We sat and sang under the moon And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.

Pack up all your things,
We're gonna be leavin' Sooner than I thought. Take the things you bought, Clouds are gathering. Say goodbye to all your friends, We're gonna be sorry. For a while, that's how it goes, But then again, who knows About the rain? I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on, I'm gonna see the world Like a rolling stone, I'm steppin' out. I'm gonna be somebody... Ooh, I'm steppin' out. Did you hear what he said? He said they sold me down the river. They thought I thought I was a fool, They said the rain would fall. What did they know? Then I saw your face, Heard the song that you were singin'. Though I thought I knew the words, The tune was quite absurd And out of key. Doo dah dah dee. I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on, I'm gonna see the world Like a rolling stone, I'm steppin' out. I'm gonna be somebody... Ooh, I'm steppin' out.

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...

When the day is done
And there's nowhere to run And the people of the city Have all lost and won, In your city dress, You stand and stare And you smoke another cigarette And comb your hair And the light that shines Paints a trace of sadness On the street, I wait, I can't seem to get to you. Well, you start to sway, Check your Cartier 'Cause it's getting late, You can't afford to wait, So you move along Where it's going on And the people of the night Are playing 'till the dawn And the sun that shines Paints a trace of sadness In your eyes that cry, Wishin' and hopin'. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. Dark, dark were the days, They disappear. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. Well, you did your thing And you lost your wings And you hurt so bad You lost everything And the tears that fall On the city wall Will fade away with The rays of morning light That shines Paints a smile across Your pretty face I know Everything is alright, alright. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. Dark, dark were the days, They disappear. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. (Sweet is the night) Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near.

Away, the joker's closing in, reform and they will win, the light is fading fast I know, you know, they know, we all know, everybody's gonna burn down The girls come crawling on all fours, banging on locked doors, high cards all the time I know, you know, they know, we all know Everybody's gonna burn down Play me another hand, lose everything I am, until we meet again The ace that's hiding up your sleeve will cause the world to grieve, the love you had is gone I know, you know, they know, we all know The dream in every player's heart, to win it all, not part, they lie awake at night I know, you know, they know, we all know The game where the gamblers rule the night And get your blood they might, the joker's closin' in I know, you know, they know, we all know |

You're walking meadows in my mind, Making waves across my time, oh no, oh no, I get a CHORUS : Repeat Oh I'm never gonna be the same again, Now I've seen the way it's got to end, Sweet dream, sweet dream. CHORUS : Repeat |

Deep waters flow out to the sea They never needed you or me One summer dream, one summer dream Blue Mountains high and valley low I don't know which way I should go One summer dream, one summer dream Warm summer breeze blows endlessly Touching the hearts of those who feel One summer dream, one summer dream Bird on wing goes floating by But there's a teardrop in his eye One summer dream, one summer dream One summer dream, one summer dream |

So now it's getting late for those who hesitate, got no one,
But they don't understand and no one hears the sound. It's like a waterfall; it's an illusion. Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are, Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair. But you know, as you hold back the power there, Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living. Across the waterfall that's falling evermore down on you, Cascading through the days, and flowing on its way, That's how it has to be, just an illusion. Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are, Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair. But you know, as you hold back the power there, Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living. |

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.
Hey woman, you got the blues, cos′ you ain′t got no one else to use. There′s an open road that leads nowhere, 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 no one else to blame 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 feeling pain, But you better get yourself on board the very next train. Evil woman how you done me wrong, But now you′re tryin′ to wail a different song, Ha Ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you drink the cup I came runnin′ every time you cried, Thought I saw love smilin′ in your eyes, Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain′t got no place left to go |

I remember somewhere in the rain
The faces of the passers-by, Staring faces broken blinds. I recall the situation clearly Standing in a crowded car; I can feel the need in me. Hold on, nightrider baby, Hold on, you're a nightrider... Riding the night, searching for what is gone, Never reaching the end, so you must travel on. I still see that vision of delight While cruising on the black of night, But she keeps a step ahead. Looking out the corner of her world, Nobody ever knows a girl Who once lived along this way. Hold on, nightrider baby, Hold on, you're a nightrider... Riding the night, searching for what is gone, Never reaching the end, so you must travel on. Desolation degradation row, Go on; don't let the feeling show, She's a ten a penny dream. Faces with no name and no address Keep staring in on my distress, But she kills me with her smile. Hold on, nightrider baby, Hold on, you're a nightrider... Riding the night, searching for what is gone, Never reaching the end, so you must travel on. |
