Wish everybody would leave me alone -yeah
They're always calling on my telephone When I pick it up there's no one there So I walk outside just to take the air Come on with me cruising down the street Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet This brave new world's not like yesterday It can take you higher than the milky way Now I'm blinded I can't really see - yeah No more bright lights confusing me - no Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue 'Cause loving you is all I can do Hey good-looking boys - gather around The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down All those lies can be so unkind, They can make you feel like you're losing your mind Street Life Street Life Street Life What a Life Back to nature boys - Vasser girls too Watch what you say, or think, or do Continental-style strasse girls might But you know exactly if it's wrong or right Education is an important key - yes But the good life's never won by degrees - no Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale Only window shopping - it's strictly no sale Week end starts Friday soon after eight Your jet black magic helps you celebrate You may be stranded if you stick around And that's really something |

Buttercup daisies And most anything They wither and fade After blossom in Spring Time conquers innocence Pride takes a fall In knowledge lies wisdom That's all Everything changes Weather blows hot or cold Through alchemy iron turns gold Quicksilver baby So hard to pin down Oh when are you coming around' Hopelessly grounded I walk through the streets Remembering how we spent time Hopefully yearning that someday we'll meet But when will we, how could we - why' Oh my! Fashion houses ladies Need plenty loose change When the latest creation Is last year's fab-rave Thought patterns hazy This auto-style age Will lady luck smile old and sage' She knows that ...... Never again, no, will I give up my heart To gamble with fate is my crime Nevertheless love, it's all here in my book I'd write it but don't have much time You see, I know it sounds crazy But what can I do' I've fallen head over heels, over you Chameleon colour All phases of moon The shifting of planets And leopard spots too As destiny wills it So seasons will change Just like you |

Amazona Is a zone where There is no doubt No more fall-out - Why don't you step Through the mirror and see' From Arizona To Eldorado Sure is a mighty long way. Hey little girl Is something wrong' I know it's hard For you to get along The bell-tower rings It tolls a hollow sound But your castles in Spain Still may be realised And longings more profound. You see - every cloud Has a silver lining And sometimes paradise Around your corner lies. In Amazona everything is nice Little one - come take my hand' I'll try to help you there - I'll take you there. Amazona's Getting closer Oh soon you'll see. Journey's over We're almost there |

Try on your love
Like a new dress The fit and the cut Your friends to impress Try on your smile - Square on your face Showing affection Should be no disgrace Try out your God Hope He will send Kindness from strangers On whom you depend Try on His coat A mantle most fine Myriad colours His harmony-thine 'Believe in me' Once seemed a good line Now belief in Jesus Is faith more sublime Head in the clouds But I can't see the Lord Short of perfection I'll try to be good I'll stand at His gate I'll wait for His sign Then I'll walk in His garden When it's my time Drink from His cup Hush now don't you cry His quiet waters Will never run dry Nearing death's vale He's here by my side He leads me to paradise A mountain so high Don't be afraid Just treasure His word Singing His praises I know I'll be heard He's gonna take you by the hand He's gonna make you feel good Open up your eyes And then you'll see all that you should Forget all your troubles You will feel no pain He's all that you need He's your everything When I'm feeling all at sea And deliverance is that distant shore I will not be worried Someday His house will be my home For everymore |

Darkness falls Around your window pane A light still burns But just a smouldering flame Is it the end of another affair An open engagement with gloom Or will you be smiling When the sun conjures up A broken spell au clair de lune' Silhouette As you draw the shade Cloak of night You know it's tailor-made G-Plan gymnastics By an everglow fire Could never mean the same As summer enchantment By an old mill steam From courtly love to costly game Maybe I'm wrong for seeming Ungrateful, unforgiving Oh how it hurts now you're finally leaving I couldn't take anymore ...... Now's the time! Let's hide away Sacred hours Saved from yesterday Boo-hoo willows weep around you still Mirror reflections of dew But waterfall pages of an open book Could shower new horizons soon Call the tune Will you swoon As I croon Your serenade |

Here as I sit
At this empty cafe Thinking of you I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again Though the world Is my oyster It's only a shell Full of memories And here by the Seine Notre-Dame casts A long lonely shadow Now - only sorrow No tomorrow There's no today for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterday These cities may change But there always remains My obsession Through silken waters My gondola glides And the bridge - it sighs... I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again There's no more time for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterdays Ecce momenta Illa mirabilia Quae captabit In aeternum Memor Modo dolores Sunt in dies Non est reliquum Vero tantum Comminicamus Perdita Tous ces moments Perdus dans l`enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous Pour nous il n'y a rien A partager Sauf le pass? |

Turn the lights down Way down low Turn up the music Hi as fi can go All the gang's here Everyone you know It's a crazy scene Hey there just look over your shoulder Get the picture' No no no no .......(Yes) Walk a tightrope Your life-sign-line Such a bright hope Right place, right time What's your number' Never you mind Take a powder But hang on a minute what's coming round the corner' Have you a future' No no no no .......(Yes) Well I've been up all night again Party-time wasting is too much fun Then I step back thinking Of life's inner meaning And my latest fling It's the same old story All love and glory It's a pantomime If you're looking for love In a looking glass world It's pretty hard to find Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't trade you For another girl Divine intervention Always my intention So I take my time I've been looking for something I've always wanted But was never mine But now I've seen that something Just out of reach - glowing - Very Holy grail Oh mother of pearl Lustrous lady Of a sacred world Thus: even Zarathustra Another-time-loser Could believe in you With every goddess a let down Every idol a bring down It gets you down But the search for perfection Your own predilection Goes on and on and on and on Canadian Club love A place in the Country Everyone's ideal But you are my favorita And a place in your heart dear Makes me feel more real Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't change you For the whole world You're highbrow, holy With lots of s |

Oh look at the sun - it's all a-glow Slow burning star - sinking low Heaven knows where you go Out of sight, out of minds eye, no Aw such a shame - you must leave All day long you were a friend to me Still - the moons company Until morning when larks will sing Horizons appointment youll keep For sunswept flamingos must sleep Scenes like these from my dreams Cover cutting-room floors all over ..... Warm heart we spin slowly from view Why are you sad - do you disapprove? How weve wasted our time Sunset - end of my day - my decline Postscript you trace colours the sky Red-letter light fades, is filed away Sunburst fingers you raise One last sigh of farewell - goodbye |
