Here in the hush of evenin'
On a night in June Overhearin' conversations Bayin' at the moon Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's Sweet to my ear This is tomorrow callin' Wishin' you were here Layin' in my hotel bedroom Feelin' ceilin' blues Wall to wall a TV's twitchin' Clearly not a muse Then flashin' through the interference Beams a thousand tunes This is tomorrow callin' What have I to lose? Truckin' by the railway station I'm on the road again Steerin' clear of all temptation Unto the point of pain When steamin' through on cue I hear that wailin' whistle blow If this is tomorrow callin' Oh what a way to go! Day to day you live old fashioned Hi-toned, fancy free A double take, an image-spittin' Tailored to a T While history is tellin' you The same old thing This is tomorrow callin' Let's stick a new oar in This is tomorrow callin' Y'all 'n Come on in |

Can't you hear me talkin' to you I'm callin' you one more time All night operator Dial me a better line Can't you hear me talkin' to you Do telephones make you cry? I try to write letters Only my pen runs dry Though my words sound so confused The feeling is running strong Stick tight operator Help me to pass it on final connection A bridge before the fall Receiver unrestin' I count on your call Am I just a number to you A handful of empty sighs All night operator Reader between the lies With half the world dreamin' I see through your eyes A switchboard breathin' A diary of crossed lines Can't you hear me talkin' to you I'm callin' you one more time All night operator Dial me better line If you feel me driftin' away Slippin' into my song All night operator All of a sudden - gone |

Now is the moment Here is the place And soon's the time to go Seeing's believin' Or so he thought once Now he's not so sure One kiss - one for the road - what is more? One kiss - roughly expressing all that lips are for Where do they come from? Doesn't she speak? Where can they co from here? Forever or never Or once in a while Their situation's clear One kiss - never too late to miss One too many a broken-up affair - like this Spinning together Drifting away The song of love is strange A never ending "See you soon" Too late - the music changed One kiss - what kind of end is this? One more touching impression - one lost love - one kiss Just as he's trying To open the door He fumbles with the key Clumsily playing for time Without words Some things you can only feel One kiss - lost in shade One tear - ever so slowly falling left to fade |

Love Me Madly Again Are you still cutting it on the street Do you make savage love when you meet In the zigzag shadows that promises much Don't talk about it - Show me Talkin' about it's - Easy Don't talk about it - Love me up Is that lightning exciting ya quite as much Would I could feel it, would I could touch Don't talk about it - It's not the same Love me madly - Once again Don't make it easy for me Some like it tough you see Loving is easy for me A whole lotta love has passed this way Don't talk about it - Show me Talkin' about it's - Easy Don't talk about it - Love me up Is it as passionate as it seemed? Was it for real or some kind of dream? Don't talk about it - It's not the same Love me madly - Once again And should we meet again Uncertain, out of reach On the other side of time Barriers broken Thoughts entwine Never words spoken Love me madly again And who can draw the line A strand from me to you A world apart, a smile Loving is easy Hard to end Love letters tearing Love me madly again And when you find the time Let's share a silk caress Somewhere for a while Mirror to mirror Frame on frame Within' without you Love me madly again |

My girl Friday, she no square
She like lotus blossom in her hair Be-bop records and something new Sometimes borrowed, but she's never blue Oh no...not Tokyo Joe Way past midnight, she not home She cut the ice down the Danger Zone Water-tight dresses, she don't care A trifle risque, a tart, no sir... Oh no...sounds like Tokyo Joe Geisha girl show you she adore you Two oriental eyes implore you Femme fatale or ingenue? She very cunning, fiendish clever Geisha girl suffer many times a fool Sayonara moon When all the world's a stage Oh where are you? Tokyo Rose on the radio Or Diz 'n Bird puttin' on the moan Tappin' out telexes to Tupelo Dear John, doh ray me fah so? Let's go...call for Tokyo Joe Walkin' tall down the Danger Zone She hokey-cokey till the cows come home Big shot, from the hip, neon cool Say, when you've been around, what's left to do? Don't know? Ask Tokyo Joe So inscrutable her reply "Ask no question and tell me no lie" GI boys howlin' out for more VIP'S purrin' "je t'adore"... Ah so...that's Tokyo Joe |

When the world outside of you Seems to weigh too much for you Then draw within' yourself For there is no-one else Well it's a sin What I'm sayin' But it's truth Black and blue has turned to grey Real life pictures gone astray But don't give in Imagination rules again It's a sin What I'm sayin' But it's the truth Party doll Oh how you turn me on Now the day's for sleepin' For I'll be leapin' all night long Party doll Without you I can't go on Now the way I'm figurin' You'll be Leda And I'll be Swann........ It's a sin What I'm sayin' But it's truth And if our secret love Is haunting you - No-one can hold me Like you used to do........ Party doll - what's your game? Do you move, or entertain What people say When it don't mean a thing It's a sin Heads they lose Tails you win Party doll - I must confess This wishin' well of loneliness Has dragged you down I'll wind you up - let's twist again It's a skin Skin to skin Amen |

Once again You're the song I'm the one Who turns the pages There you go Flying high Here am I Rock of ages Ring the changes Ring all changes Try to move me as of old Rock-a-bye me Rock of ages Tough my soul Lost again All alone Turned to stone Cold and sober After you There's no fun On the run The party's over Ring the changes Ring all changes Do you move me as of old Rock-a-bye me Rock of ages Touch my soul Who can say Here today Where we'll stray Gone tomorrow After all Is said and done Will you stay And share my sorrow? Sing your praises Sing all praises Still you move me Knock me cold Rock-a-bye me Rock of ages You touched my soul |

Hark the frozen chimes of winter Crystal shimmer in your mind To the first time when you saw her You implored her to be kind In the open fields around you All before you gone to ground Both the question and the answer Deep inside you - you shall find And while you're strollin' Through the summer of your years Enchanted, a garden overgrown Don't call me sentimental Those of you who care Could find there a lover and a friend.....to the end And if you're taken by the sprit of your age No reason to carve a cornerstone Sway me, trade me Your philosophy- First you're sowin' Then you're growin' Then you reap......until you sleep Will you scale the silver studded mountain Where contemplation'll spring to mind See the veiled prophet's withered gaze Reflect the "nouvelle-vague" Glazed visions imprisoned in your mind Unwinding rivers flowing through the meadows To the sea - paths of glory Through shifting glades to fall Present laughter and the memory Of troubles you have seen It is written in your mind |
