Well now that I'm leyving
well now that I'm going home It's hard for me to believe in all thoe words now that I'm all alone I'm going home, I'm going home There were times when I had me shaking Oh times like I have never known Oh you know that I was mistaken 'Cos you see my ego was overgrown I'm going home, I'm going home I'm going home where I can find it to a place that's been on my mind It seems I've been there before I know where I've been But maybe I've only seen it in my dreams there ain't no reason in my life But Lord, there's an answer There ain't no reason in my life there must be an answer I'm going home, I'm going home Dazed but still on reflection Oh I guess that I was born to roam so amazed that my recollection I know that where I'll be my home I'm going home, I'm going home there ain't no reason in my life,life, I'm going home Lord there ain't no reason in my life, life there's an answer Midnight dreamer don't understand restless sleeper ain't got no plans Ain't no reasons but there's a way There's an answer find it today I'm going home, I'm going home |

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days. I see faces in the crowded cafe A sound of laughter as the music play Jean Claude was a student at the university Louise Marie is just a world away He recall the night they met was warm with laughter The words and music as she turned away * I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight But Jean Claude Louise Marie will never be Each cigarette will light a thousand faces The sade is passing like a thousand years Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter's disappeared **I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight But Jean Claude Lousie Marie will never be A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses The entertainment in the street cafe The sunlight melting through an open doorway Jean Claude has left some other day. |

I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free, She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door, And left me wondering what I was in for. By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same, So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away, And through sympathy I told her she could stay. Oh poor lady, midnight baby, No one wants your love at all, Oh poor lady, midnight baby, Now you're heading for a fall, And you really think your're something, you know all the things to do But poor lady, just a baby, There's a hundred more like you. Now for two weeks more she was at my door, She would stay with me for days, As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways, But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd, Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word. Oh poor lady, midnight baby, No one wants your love at all, Oh poor lady, midnight baby, Now you're heading for a fall, And you really think your're something, you know all the things to do But poor lady, just a baby, There's a hundred more like you. She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip, And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip, When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell, It's the one thing that she really can do well. Oh poor lady, midnight baby, No one wants your love at all, Oh poor lady, midnight baby, Now you're heading for a fall, And you really think your're something, you know all the things to do But poor lady, just a baby, There's a hundred more like you. |

This time it's making me hide Love has told on me then got a hold on me Followed my heart to my pride But something's been making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you Love was a game you played, a mistake I made Never found it on time I thought love was alive again, then it died again Leavin' me wondering why But something's ben making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you What is this feeling that keeps you revealing your pride Why don't you listen you can't reminisce on the times that she loved you and lied I know, but love was so real to me how does it feel to be Tellin' yourself it's a lie But now love's got me wondering got me fumbling, Got me stumbling by But something's ben making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you |

And the moon is high And you get that far away look in your eyes Oh can`t you see you`re acting like a stranger When you loving feelings are sohard to find And you can deceive me with your made-up lines Lord knows you sound just like a stranger So just in case you`ve changed your mind You`ve got love if you want it and it can`t be wrong And just in case you find the time You`ve got love if you need it and it can`t be wrong But stranger you`re in danger of losing me Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me When the wind is howling and the rain comes down And you lie awake without a sound Feel like I`m living with a stranger When I try to hold you and you turn away There seems so little left for me to say Oh lord knows you look just like a stranger So just in case you`ve changed your mind You`ve got love if you want it and it can`t go wrong And just in case you find the time You`ve got love if you need it and it can`t go wrong But stranger you`re in danger of losing me Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me |

Every dream that I dream Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind Way up in the sky Every move that I make Seems to be the wrong way Like a cold black night After a summer day What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be What can I do You still play my guitar With a smile on my face Now everything's changed My whole life's rearranged From the day I was born Sidle Jinks was my name Though I tried and I tried That name still remains What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be What can I do What can I do What can I do What can I do What can I do I hear voices all singing But no one is there It's a ghost of my life Bringing past tense to mind Lokin' key inside me From the freedom and sin Oh come let me in I'll start all over again What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be No no no no no no no no no What can I do What can I do What |

Don't talk to me of shattered dreams,
Of course you don't know what it means, To live for someone else, you can't just take, And when you're bitten by the truth, You blame it on your mis-spent youth, You never seem to learn by your mistakes. So don't talk to me of wild wild angels, Wild wild angels on the skyways, Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life, 'Cos it's people like you who never knew, What wild wild angels have to face. And I ain't hangin' round to see, You turn on someone else like me, I'm still alive and you know the way I live, But baby that's one way you'll never be, Such simple things you fail to see, You take back everything you ever give. So don't talk to me of wild wild angels, Wild wild angels on the skyways, Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life, 'Cos it's people like you who never knew, What wild wild angels have to face. So don't talk to me of wild wild angels, Wild wild angels on the skyways, Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life, 'Cos it's people like you who never knew, What wild wild angels have to face.

Playing lay down sally on the blues guitar Playing slide like I've never seen Hey, she was a rock and roll queen She was young and wild and free From that look in her eyes she was covering me So I took a chance on a dance and a twirl I said where you from she said Derry girl Ahhhhhh Derry Girl Derry girl oh Derry girl I fell in love with a Derry girl Derry girl oh Derry girl I fell in love with a Derry girl I'm in love with a Derry girl After the show we took a stroll outside Exchanging words in the grey moonlight She seemed a little crazy to me But that's just part of the rock and roll scene So young and wild and restless Still living in a teenage dream She walked right into my world Ohhh that little Derry girl Ohhh Derry ... She was young and wild and free From that look in her eye she was covering me She walked right into my world Ohhh that little Derry girl Ohh that Derry girl Derry girl...

Needles And Pins
(Sonny Bono / Jack Nitzsche) I saw her today, I saw her face, It was a face I loved, and I knew, I had to run away, And get down on my knees and pray That they'd go away, And still they begin, Needles and pins, Because of all my pride, The tears I gotta hide. Oh, thought I was smart, I'd won a heart, Didn't think I do, But now you see, She's worse to him and me, Let her go ahead, And take this love instead, And one day she will see, Just how to say 'please', Get down on her knees, That's how they begin, You'll feel those needles and pins, Hurtin' her, hurtin' her, What can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong, What can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong. Because I saw her today ... I saw her face, It was a face I loved, and I knew, I had to run away, And get down on my knees and pray, That they'd go away, And still they begin, Needles and pins, Because of all my pride, The tears I gotta hide... Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins. |

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging, You were driving me out of my mind, On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do, Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find, So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder, As you turned and you looked my way, Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive, If I'd have said what I wanted to say, So being polite said what you doin' tonight, You said: "Just so happens I'm free", You got all the right curves and all the right words, And that's alright by me. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss, She said: "Hold on a minute or two". Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me, I said: "Baby what's troublin' you", She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean", So we sat and we talked for a while, And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist, And I must say she did it with style. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. All right... Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

How could I be so dumb trying to make it alone
I was crazy to think I'd be fine on my own I've wasted my time Now I've finally started to shine With the help that you give me I now realise I can see it in you face I can read in your eyes When I think of the things that I've wanted to say And the things that I wished I could do Now it's all just a part of my life since relying on you I'd hoped for a time when I might get it right And the best of my dreams would come true Now I'm finally seeing the sense in relying on you Relying on you I'd never believed when you hand turned to me With the two of us here what a strength there would be You've proved it to me Now it's easy to see How we're stronger together than just on our own And we'll never again try to go it alone When I think of the things that I've wanted to say...

Good love is hard to find Ad then you came my way You set my heart on fire I hold inside a burning flame It burns for you I've seen it all before, this time I know it's true Don't stop this love we started We'd end up broken hearted I never felt this way girl Can't find the words to say girl Don't stop this way we're feeling Good love that we believe in You send my whole reelin I won't stop my lovin for you Not fear of losing you No empty hearts in sight We'll never fool around Or hurt each other's pride For you my arms are open wide Come inside Two hearts that beat as one True love to count upon Don't stop this love we started... |

this life has taken me so far and so many roads
I've had to choose Some win, some lose this life has been a gamble, I held my cards close to my chest I've played the part Somehow the mists of time have washed all over me the comfort of your arms is where I need to be (Cause) when you're lyin' in the arms of the one you love And you got your faith in God above And you feel like you're riding on the wind When you're lyin in the arms of the one you love and you know it's good fromm the stars above Ooh, that's love I get so tired of dreamin where is the fire that burned inside With all it's pride the flame became a candle so fragile with the autumn wind the need to win Somehow the sands of time weigh heavy over me Wrapped in your lovin arms is where I'd rather be (Cause) when you're lyin' in the arms.. |

Remember the days I used to bring you roses
Remember the ways I used to hold you close to me Now they're gone and I've lost my time Never more will you be mins Remember the days I used to send you flowers Remember the calls that used to last for hours Now they're gone so I take the fall Get my chance to take it all I, I really missed you I, I need to kiss you Please change your mind and find the time to call I, I feel so hazy You, you drive me crazy Please change your mind and we can have it all It wasn't so long ago you called me darling I was your blue eyed boy, You were my only toy Now they're gone and I've lost my time Never more will you be mine |

I swear I'll answer no charges
Of theft or purgery When through neglect you lose the one that you love It's not easy to see so, You should have shown some respect Should have made her feel like she was something special You should have shown some respect What you deserve is what you ger What you deserve is what you get No use in saying sorry Not much that you can do now No use in saying you'll be good to her She don't think you know how You should have shown some respect... |

I worshipped you
treasured you Drove my soul inside of you Dreamed a dream for me and you It's turned into a nightmare And like a drug I can't break loose I've died a million times for you And like a leech you suck from me the hope, the strength left inme My sanity still clings to me I've bared my sould for all to see sold my very history A song to please the nation I turn my frown to dancing clown sing my songs, turn on the charm To earn some love, to keep me warm My guitar plays for you So scream you guitar Scream for mypain Cry for your share of this fortune and fame Scream you guitar Scream for the shame You cannot escape your share of the blame Yet stll I find this need in me to prove myself to all who see that I am what I dreamed I'd be and I will live forever at centre stage I'll take my place Emotion drawn upon my face My guitar slung around my waist I'm here to play for you So scream you guitar... |

I called you on the phone tonight
Said you were doing fine I held my breath, said I'm alright but we red between the lines I asked you are you all alone you paused before you answered I swallowed hard, apologised You said it doesn't matter and then the rain came down the rain came down Like tears against my window pane They cry instead of me My heart is numb and cries no more for fading memories but still the rain comes down the rain comes down Just like tears from up above Falling down upon my world well I just can't comprehend How it all went wrong back then should have held on, should have been strong should have never let it end your photgraph's still standing here Feels like you're watching me But photograph's can't fill this space Or give the love I need Still the rain comes down The rain comes down |

Baby It's You
I was lost and at an end It seemed so long I really needed a friend Why should I pretend? I couldn't think I had to see That Southern Comfort comforts me I could be free But where would I be? Then you came along And you sang your song And you made my day In your special way Then I knew That baby it's you Baby it's you You know that it's you I'm thinking of Baby it's you Try my best to get along Make some friends, but something always went wrong I come on too strong Things were really getting rough Getting tired of acting like I was tough I just had enough Then you came along And you sang your song And you made my day In your special way Then I knew That baby it's you Baby it's you You know that it's you I'm thinking of Baby it's you (Chorus x 2) |

Sadness has gone from the light in my eyes,
Will she be waiting. Should I feel proud of the tears that I cried, No hesitating. Happiness sounds like the one I have lost, Only to follow. Where in the world is the one that I've crossed, Gone is tomorrow. Chorus: Light in my eyes, Light up my face, Light up my life, light up my life, Light up my life, light up my life. Feelings of fear all around someone's here, Look all around me. Could it be she rediscovering me, Or did she see. Chorus, solo, chorus |

Once knew a man who thought he was another guy,
he was livin' a lie. He took a chance by roaming the streets in the night, Till he learned how to fight. He met trouble one night, another man with his wife. So he brought out his knife, didn't mean to take his life. Now he's got to get away, hear him say. Chorus: (First) I'm going down to the Liverpool Docks, Try to hitch a ride, ain't gonna break no rocks. And I never had a friend, I never needed one. I'm going down to the silvery sea, I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me. And maybe I can go where I won't ever have to come back again. He took his time, lived his life alone, An' his thoughts were his own. He lived in a place he'd never heard of before, In Block number four. Then one night at his door, he stood facing the law. On the paper he saw, what they wanted him for, They're gonna take him back, and he said. Chorus: (Second) I'm goin' back to the Liverpool Docks, Gonna take a ride, gotta break some rocks. And I never had a friend, but I never needed one. Take a ride on the silvery sea, I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me. An' I don't wanna go 'cos I know that I'll never come back again. Chorus: (First) repeat |

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging, You were driving me out of my mind, On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do, Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find, So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder, As you turned and you looked my way, Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive, If I'd have said what I wanted to say, So being polite said what you doin' tonight, You said: "Just so happens I'm free", You got all the right curves and all the right words, And that's alright by me. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss, She said: "Hold on a minute or two". Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me, I said: "Baby what's troublin' you", She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean", So we sat and we talked for a while, And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist, And I must say she did it with style. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. All right... Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. |

Monday morning was a V.I.P.
Tuesday night they didn't wanna know me, Wednesday night drank sour grapes, Must'a smoked near on fifty straights a-huh-huh. Friday wondered where Thursday went, Saturday failed to pay my rent, Sunday found me in the church to say, If you got a little heaven won't you send it my way. Chorus: Remember me, I'm Petesey, Feeling like sixty, more like thirty-five, Remember me, I'm Petesey, Feeling like sixty, more like thirty-five, Remember me. Took a trip way across the sea, Right through Holland and Germany, Played the tourist at Frankfurt Zoo, The monkeys said "Who the hell are you?" (Who the hell are you). Chorus I was sailing along yes I was singing my song, Yes I was singing my song to you, He was sailing along yes he was singing his song, Yes he was singing his song to you, Remember me. Well I wouldn't say that I was overproud, But it seems to me I've gotta shout out loud, No-one ever seems to recognise me, I think I'll become one of the other three, (Oh no you won't). Chorus |

When you can't sleep nights and you wonder why,
Without a friend and you wanna die. Situation desperation, all you want is sympathy, And sympathy is all you'll get, Enough - you ain't found nothing yet, Till you found the power of love. Your beauty ain't so hard to see, Your looks can make a fool of me, You say the things I want to hear, And tell me it won't disappear, But I won't know until I find if there is any truth behind, What you call the power of love. It takes you, it makes you and sometimes it breaks you, It fills you and thrills you and sometimes it kills you, But I've been looking so hard to find it, I ain't giving it any more time, There's nothing you can do about this, You will never live without it, This is the power of love. |

Little Jenny came out of school,
Givin' boys the eye, But the smile she gave to me, Was for some other guy - other guy. Took her to a movie show, A dollar-fifty treat, Went out to the car and came right back, Some guy was in my seat - ain't she sweet. Chorus: I can't help feeling this way, Thinking it over it's crazy to stay, Well I know that it's got to be, The girl can't help it, she's in love with me. Jenny, Jenny, wonder why, Kiss the boys and see me cry, Don't you know there'll come a day, All the boys will walk away - walk away. Chorus When I'm close to you at night, I just can't tell wrong from right, Jenny, oh I love you so, I will never let you go - let you go. Chorus repeat |

You took me by surprise,
The things you said, you know I never realised. That I was just another fool within your eyes, But now I know just what to do. So I'll be on my way, The games you play are not the games I care to play. So keep your distance, I'll soon find another day, There's nothing I would rather do. Chorus: Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside, Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me, Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet talkin' Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put me through, But how could I see what was in your eyes, With your lies and your alibis, Oh woman. You took me for a ride, Looking back, you know I laugh, but then I cried, And now you see that slowly time has changed the tide, so now the tables turned on you. Chorus: Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside, Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me, Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet talkin' Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put me through, But how could I see what was in your eyes, with your lies and alibis. Chorus: Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside, Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me, Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet talkin' Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put me through, And I'm still in love with you. |

Angelina's going out tonight
Like a dream clear out of sight When she returns, we'll be as one together Like a diamond in a world of stone She's like the wings, she rides all alone She'll catch the sun, and make it shine forever But I don't wanna see her crying And I don't wanna see her fate Cause you know I love that girl You know I love that girl Angelina with her eyes so blue I can't resist, she gets through to you The silent talking in a way that burns through your heart A cold, grey day never appears Your body's warmed, but innocent tears When Angelina gives you a friendly start But I don't wanna see her crying And I don't wanna see her fate Cause you know I love that girl You know I love that girl But I don't wanna see her crying And I don't wanna see her fate Cause you know I love that girl You know I love that girl Angelina's going out tonight Angelina's going out tonight Angelina's going out tonight Tonight... |

Walking in the rain, I can't believe the way I'm feeling. Lonely once again, could it be that I'm still dreaming.I thought I heard you talking.But deep inside I know, this heart of mine has left me walking
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, You left me broken hearted, before we got things started. Rain keeps falling and so it seems Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. Burning in my heart, tells me now that it's all over. It's tearing me apart, feeling that I'm sinking over. I thought I heard you talking. But deep inside I know, this heart of mine has left me walking. Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. Walking in the rain, can't believe what I am seeing. Is it you again, oh tell me baby I'm not dreaming.'Cause I can hear you talking, no more will I be walking Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, You left me broken hearted, before we got things started. Rain keeps falling and so it seems Down the Boulevard of broken dreams Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. |

This heart of mine don't want no one else My tears of emptiness Cry out for your caress I just can't hide this feeling inside of me So now I'm Chasing shadows in the moonlight Flying high across the sky You know I'm Chasing shadows in the moonlight Just to be with you tonight Silent thoughts that run through my mind Keeps the magic burning inside Still endless days grow cold Without you're love I'm sold This secret feeling still burning inside of me So now I'm Chasing shadows in the moonlight Yes, I'm Flying high across the sky You know I'm Chasing shadows in the moonlight Just to be with you tonight Chasing shadows Moonlight shadows My tears of emptiness Cry out for your caress I just can't hide this feeling inside of me So now I'm Chasing shadows in the moonlight Yes, I'm Flying high across the sky You know I'm Chasing shadows in the moonlight Just to be with you Just to be with you Just to be with you tonight |

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days I see faces in the crowded cafe A sound of laughter as the music plays Jeanne Claude was a student at the University Louise Marie is just a world away He recall the night they met was warm with laughter The words and music as she turned away I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight But Jeanne Claude Louise Marie will never be Each cigarette will light a thousand faces The shade is passing like a thousand years Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter'd disappeared I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight Oh but Jeanne Claude Louise Marie will never be A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses The entertainment in the street cafe The sunlight melting through an open doorway Jeanne Claude has left some other day I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight Oh but Jeanne Claude Louise Marie will never be |

A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat, The dust that hung from the desert skies, Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes, Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life, And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side, And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand, And show me a way to understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. A reckless nite in a nameless town, Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound, A beach that wept with deserted waves, That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe, Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me, But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see, You know you've got my life lying in your hands, It's up to you to make me understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. |

Can you be so sure of love?
Can you stop my heart from breaking And save my tears from falling down? Can you be so sure, my love? You stop my heart from beating You can make my whole world turn around In the middle of a lonely dream I'm begging you to stay I'm on my knees But you turn and walk away You don't hear me calling out for you You're out of reach, there's just no getting through I know, you're so mixed up inside Don't go, baby stay with me tonight - tell me - Can you be so sure of love?.. I'm just a step behind If I could catch you I would make things right Tell me all this hasn't been in vain I wake at night, find I'm calling out your name Baby, what does all this mean? Wake me, from this crazy dream - darling - In a dream I catch a falling star Take a look inside to see your beating heart Just to watch it fade away Can you be so sure of love?.. |

Sally called when she got the word
She said, 'I suppose you've heard about Alice.' Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside Well, I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice We grew up together Two kids in the park Carved our initials deep in the bark Me and Alice ... Now she walks through the door With her head held high Just for a moment I caught her eyes As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice Then Sally called back and asked how I felt She said, 'I know how to help get over Alice.' She said, 'Now Alice is gone but I'm still here. You know I've been waiting twenty-four years.' And the big limousine disappeared I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice |

Needles And Pins
(Sonny Bono / Jack Nitzsche) I saw her today, I saw her face, It was a face I loved, and I knew, I had to run away, And get down on my knees and pray That they'd go away, And still they begin, Needles and pins, Because of all my pride, The tears I gotta hide. Oh, thought I was smart, I'd won a heart, Didn't think I do, But now you see, She's worse to him and me, Let her go ahead, And take this love instead, And one day she will see, Just how to say 'please', Get down on her knees, That's how they begin, You'll feel those needles and pins, Hurtin' her, hurtin' her, What can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong, What can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong. Because I saw her today ... I saw her face, It was a face I loved, and I knew, I had to run away, And get down on my knees and pray, That they'd go away, And still they begin, Needles and pins, Because of all my pride, The tears I gotta hide... Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins. |

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging, You were driving me out of my mind, On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do, Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find, So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder, As you turned and you looked my way, Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive, If I'd have said what I wanted to say, So being polite said what you doin' tonight, You said: "Just so happens I'm free", You got all the right curves and all the right words, And that's alright by me. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss, She said: "Hold on a minute or two". Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me, I said: "Baby what's troublin' you", She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean", So we sat and we talked for a while, And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist, And I must say she did it with style. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. All right... Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. |

Love has shaken me, sometimes mistaken me
This time it's making me hide Love has told on me then got a hold on me Followed my heart to my pride But something's been making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you Love was a game you played, a mistake I made Never found it on time I thought love was alive again, then it died again Leavin' me wondering why But something's ben making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you What is this feeling that keeps you revealing your pride Why don't you listen you can't reminisce on the times that she loved you and lied I know, but love was so real to me how does it feel to be Tellin' yourself it's a lie But now love's got me wondering got me fumbling, Got me stumbling by But something's ben making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you |

Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by Like a cloud in the wind Way up in the sky Every move that I make Seems to be the wrong way Like a cold black night After a summer day What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be What can I do You still play my guitar With a smile on my face Now everything's changed My whole life's rearranged From the day I was born Sidle Jinks was my name Though I tried and I tried That name still remains What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be What can I do What can I do What can I do What can I do What can I do I hear voices all singing But no one is there It's a ghost of my life Bringing past tense to mind Lokin' key inside me From the freedom and sin Oh come let me in I'll start all over again What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be No no no no no no no no no What can I do What can I do |

There's a chill in the air I long to touch you but I don't dare there's a wall between us there's a storm in the air though yu're lying beside me It's like you're not even there When the lightning strikes I don't want to be here when the cold wind bites I don't want to be here Ooh it hurts me though we won't be talking I hear every word you say Now the rain is falling Like a million tears Coming through my window To wash away the years When the lightning strikes... Oh can you feel it there's astorm in the air and it's getting nearer when the cloud breaks I don't want to be here to feel the rain feel the pain There's a wall between us There's a storm in the air though you're lying beside me It's like you're not even there When the lightning strikes Oh can you feel it there's a storm in the air And it's getting nearer when the cloud breaks I don't want to be here to feel the rain When the lightning strikes...

Waiting in a lonely home
A fire burning low A thousand miles between us God knows, I had to go But distance can be overcome In the beating of a heart Just put your arms around yourself Believe I'm not that far Remember that I told you That I'd prove my love is true And if you wait a little longer I'll be coming home to you Tonight, when all the lights go down Tonight, we'll dream about the love we've found Tonight, when all the lights are low We'll l?hide away in yesterday And I won't have to go A year can seem alifetime To leave someone like you So many sleepless nights I've spent Reaching out for yu The price of dedication is everything i own But there is someone that I can't gibe up Without you, why go on? Tonight, when all the lights go down... Tonight, when all the lights go down... |

Apologies pour like water from my tongue Now there's nothing left to say As I survey the damage done Where sorry's not enough... |

It seemed so long I really needed a friend Why should I pretend? I couldn't think I had to see That Southern Comfort comforts me I could be free But where would I be?

Then you came along And you sang your song And you made my day In your special way Then I knew That baby it's you Baby it's you You know that it's you I'm thinking of Baby it's you Try my best to get along Make some friends, but something always went wrong I come on too strong Things were really getting rough Getting tired of acting like I was tough I just had enough Then you came along And you sang your song And you made my day In your special way Then I knew That baby it's you Baby it's you You know that it's you I'm thinking of Baby it's you (Chorus x 2) |

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days. I see faces in the crowded cafe, A sound of laughter as the music plays. Jeanne-Claude was a student at the University, Louise-Marie is just a world away. He recall the night they met was warm with laughter The words and music as she turned away. I'll meet you at midnight, Under the moonlight, I'll meet you at midnight... But Jeanne-Claude,Louise-Marie will never be... Each cigarette will light a thousand faces, The shade is passing like a thousand years. Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter'd disappeared. I'll meet you at midnight, Under the moonlight, I'll meet you at midnight... Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be... A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses, The entertainment in the street cafe. The sunlight melting through an open doorway, Jeanne-Claude has left some other day. |

A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat, The dust that hung from the desert skies, Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes, Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life, And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side, And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand, And show me a way to understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. A reckless nite in a nameless town, Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound, A beach that wept with deserted waves, That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe, Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me, But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see, You know you've got my life lying in your hands, It's up to you to make me understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. |

In the heat of the night when you know it ain't right
But you do what you want to do. You do what you feel but no one can feel like you. In the summertime city ain't it a pity There's so much to tie you down You're leaving tonight for somewhere you can't be found While down at the end of town At a pool hall where they all hang around You can hear them talking 'bout girls they know Talking 'bout what they're gonna do Then you ask yourself: is this where you belong |
