Day is dawning and I must go
You're asleep but still I'm sure you'll know Why it had to end this way You and I had a groovy time But I told you somewhere down the line You would have to find me gone I just have to move along Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations When you wake I know you'll cry And the words I wrote to say goodbye They won't comfort you at all But in time you will understand That the dreams we dreamed were made of sand For a no-good bum like me To live is to be free Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Look in my restless soul, a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations [repeat and fade] |

Changing, moving, in a circle
I can see your face in all of my dreams Smiling, laughing, from the shadows When I hear your voice I know what it means I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try You're all the reason for my life Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me How can I forget you when my world is breaking down You're all I had, you're all I want Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd Thinking, wondering, what you're doing I can stop myself from crying out loud They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar But then, they'd never shared our love Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me How can I forget you when my world is breaking down You're all I had, you're all I want Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have |

I saw it in the mirror
I saw it in my face that I'm no longer needed anyone can take my place I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes 'cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries I saw it in the mirror my head is hanging low and I ain't too familiar with the feelings that I show I know you say you love me but I'm looking through your lies it doesn't really bother you if this boy cries I never thought I could cry for you but honey I will miss you 'til the day I die I saw it in the mirror I saw it in my face that I'm no longer needed anyone can take my place I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes 'cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries |

Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see as she catches a train Just a face among a million faces Just another woman with no name Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special If you knew her I am sure you'd agree ’cause I know she's got a little secret Friday evening she turns out to be... Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play But she knows the fun would go away If she would play it every day So she's back every morning to her work at the office And another week to live in a dream And another row of early mornings In an almost never-ending stream Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain Everybody seems to think she's a bore But they wouldn't know her little secret What her Friday night would have in store... Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play She would like to play it every day Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play |

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
and my life was so empty there was nothing left to live for but then it happened one night as I got into a fight I could hear someone saying as though he was praying: "ah - Treat him well, he is your brother you might need his help one day we depend on one another love him that's the only way on the road that we're going we all need words of comfort and compassion treat him well, he is your brother love him that's the only way" I was a woman never thinking of others and my life was so lonely didn't care for anybody but then I happened to meet a begging man in the street as I turned down his praying I heard someone saying: "ah - Treat him well, he is your brother you might need his help one day we depend on one another love him that's the only way on the road that we're going we all need words of comfort and compassion treat him well, he is your brother love him that's the only way" |

Take the river to the highest mountain Take the ocean to the farthest sea I'd take back everything I've said to hurt you If you'd come back to me I'd bring you fire from the frozen waters Leave a flower 'neath a fallen tree I'd take back everything I said to scare you Away from me Two hands can feel so much more That's what I'm loving you for I was too blind to see fear was inside of me I'm not afraid anymore She's my kind of girl, she's my kind of girl To forgive and forget Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over I'll never hold you again If a broken wing can still be mended Then a foolish heart can still be true Take the river to the highest mountain That's where I'll wait for you Two hearts can feel so much more That's what I'm loving you for The man that you tried to free Is still locked inside of me And your heart must open the door She's my kind of girl, she's my kind of girl To forgive and forget Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over I'll never hold you again (repeat and fade) |

Where are those happy days,
they seem so hard to find I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood It used to be so nice, it used to be so good * So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me S. O. S. The love you gave me, nothing else can save me S. O. S. When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try how can I carry on? You seem so far away though you are standing near You made me feel alive, but something died I fear I really tried to make it out I wish I understood What happened to our love, it used to be so good * Repeat So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me S. O. S. And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me S. O. S. When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try how can I carry on? When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try how can I carry on? |

Did you see that man in the limousine
With the pretty doll, he is fifty and the girl's only seventeen But she doesn't care, and she never will If he's ninety-five she don't give a damn Just as long as he pays the bill Did you see that man with a fat cigar He just left his lovers with a belly full of lobster and caviar He can choose the wine from a vintage year He will drink champagne in his limousine Where the rest of the street can peer 'Cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle Just like a spider in a cobweb Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross 'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle He's never bothered by his conscience Deals with the Devil, 'cause he wants to be Man in the middle, the middle, the middle In the middle (in the middle, in the middle...) But you see that man made a big mistake Even though he's got all his servants and a mansion beside a lake And the money too, all that he can spend He can buy the most, nearly anything But he can't buy the lot, his friend 'Cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle Just like a spider in a cobweb Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross 'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle He's never bothered by his conscience Deals with the Devil, 'cause he wants to be Man in the middle, the middle, the middle In the middle |

When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well I understand It's only natural But why did it have to be me? Nights can be empty, nights can be cold So you were looking for someone to hold That's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me Men are toys in the game that you play When you get tired, you throw them away That's only natural But why did it have to be me? Falling in love with a woman like you Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do It's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me |

Is it true I'm an eagle? Is it true I can spread my wings?

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though I would have liked to begin So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable You leave and you slam the door Like you've done many times before And I cry and I feel so helpless One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me to the end Outside I can see the sun through the open window Inside everything feels so cold What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go? Sometimes when I just can't cope I cling to a desperate hope And I cry and I feel like dying One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me to the end Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up The sound of the key in the door You smile and I realize that we need a shake-up Our love is a precious thing Worth the pain and the suffering And it's never too late for changing One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me to the end You and me to the end I see the path from this dark place I see the future I see the path, I can see the path I see the future (fade) |

Like a roller in the ocean Life is motion Move on Like a wind that's always blowing Life is flowing Move on Like the sunrise in the morning Life is dawning Move on How I treasure every minute Being part of it, being in it With the urge to move on I've travelled every country I've travelled in my mind It seems we're on a journey A trip through space and time And somewhere lies the answer To all the questions why What really makes the difference Between all dead and living things The will to stay alive Like a roller in the ocean (la la la la la la-la) Life is motion (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) Like a wind that's always blowing (la la la la la la-la) Life is flowing (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) Like the sunrise in the morning (la la la la la la-la) Life is dawning (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) How I treasure every minute (la la la la) Being part of it (la la la la) Being in it (la la la la) With the urge to move on The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea The crying of the seagulls that hover over me I see it and I hear it But how can I explain The wonder of the moment To be alive, to feel the sun that follows every rain Like a roller in the ocean (la la la la la la-la) Life is motion (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) Like a wind that's always blowing (la la la la la la-la) Life is flowing (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) Like the sunrise in the morning (la la la la la la-la) Life is dawning (la la la la la la-la) Move on (la la la la-la) How I treasure every minute (la la la la) Being part of it (la la la la-ah) Being in it With the urge to move on La la la la la la-la, la la la la la la-la, la la la la-la Like a wind that's always blowing La la la la la la-la La la la la la la-la (life is flowing) La la la la-la (move on) Like the sunrise in the morning La la la la la la-la La la la la la la-la (life is dawning) La la la la-la (move on) How I treasure every minute (la la la la) Being part of it (la la la la-ah) Being in it With the urge to move on La la la la la la-la, la la la la la la-la, la la la la-la Like a wind that's always blowing... |

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes When it's bad, worse, worst (And when you're feeling so bad) And you think you're cursed (And you've got it sad) Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose It's gotta be rock'n roll To fill the hole in your soul There's gotta be rock'n roll To fill the hole in your soul My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool But on all weekends (Together again) When I meet my friends (I'm gonna see them now) And we're lookin' round for the action we sure play it cool It's gotta be rock'n roll To fill the hole in your soul There's gotta be rock'n roll To fill the hole in your soul Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa) You paint your world and use all colours Ah-haa (ah-haa) And then you find it all comes out too bright You know it's only a lie Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa) The songs you sing are too romantic Ah-haa (ah-haa) And when you want the truth They only spit in your eye Oh yeah, they're only telling you lies Oh yeah, there's gotta be rock'n roll To fill the hole in your soul You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes When it's bad, worse, worst (You know you're feeling so bad) And you think you're cursed (And you've got it sad) Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose It's gotta be rock'n roll To fill the hole in your soul There's gotta be rock'n roll To fill the hole in your soul There's gotta be rock'n roll... To fill the hole in your soul There's gotta be rock'n roll... To fill the hole in your soul There's gotta be rock'n roll... To fill the hole in your soul There's gotta be rock'n roll... To fill the hole in your soul There's gotta be rock'n roll... To fill the hole in your soul |

(Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, David Foster, Linda Thompson-Jenner)
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I'm so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk Mmm, she says I began to sing long before I could talk And I've often wondered, how did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody What a joy, what a life, what a chance! Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me |

This park and these houses
Old streets I have walked Everything dear Will it be here One day when I am returning? My friends will get married Have children and homes It sounds so nice Well planned and wise Never expecting surprises I wonder It's frightening Leaving now, is that the right thing? I wonder It scares me But who the Hell am I if I don't even try? I'm not a coward Oh no, I'll be strong One chance in a lifetime Yes, I will take it, it can't go wrong My friends and my family This dull little town Buses I've missed Boys that I've kissed Everything old and familiar I wonder It's frightening Leaving now, is that the right thing? I wonder It scares me But who the Hell am I if I don't even try? I'm not a coward Oh no, I'll be strong One chance in a lifetime Yes, I will take it, it can't go wrong |

I'm a marionette Just a marionette Pull the string I'm a marionette Everybody's pet Just as long as I sing I'm a marionette See my pirouette 'Round and 'round I'm a marionette I'm a marionette Just a silly old clown You're so free That's what everybody's telling me Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound Pushed around refugee |

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking, a-aaah Last night I was taking a walk along the river And I saw him together with a young girl And the look that he gave her made me shiver 'Cause he always used to look at me that way Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking, a-aaah Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder does it have to be the same Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain? Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name? Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Crazy 'bout his angeleyes Angeleyes He took my heart and now I pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah Keep thinking, I had to pay the price |

I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain Why should I complain But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you Does it feel the same When she calls your name Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all (So the winner takes it all) (And the loser has to fall) (Throw a dice, cold as ice) (Way down here, someone dear) (Takes it all, has to fall) (And it's plain, I complain) (fade) |

I was at a party and this fella said to me
"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree People care for nothing, no respect for human rights Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights" I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?" He got kinda wary as he looked around the room He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state" I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?" He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone Over in the corner I could see this other guy He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we? What's our situation, do we have some time for us?" I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?" I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone [Extra Video Verse] Standing up is scary if you think you're gonna fall Like a Humpty Dumpty, 'fraid of falling off the wall I say if you ever want to know what's going on Gotta keep on rockin baby till the night is gone [repeat chorus and fade] |

Sometimes when I'm mad There's a part of me that seems to be a little sad Sometimes when I scream Theres a voice in me that says, you shouldn't be so mean Oh no, oh no Part of me is acting while the other stands beside Yes, I am to myself what Jekyll must have been to Hyde We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes were a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration Were a funny combination Me and I I don't think I'm different or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute And you'll find the answer in it Everyones a freak Sometimes I have toyed With ideas that I got from good old Dr. Freud Nothing new of course It may seem to you I try to break through open doors Oh no, oh no I just wanna say a lot of that applies to me Cause it's an explanation to my split identity We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes were a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration Were a funny combination Me and I I don't think I'm different or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute And you'll find the answer in it Everyones a freak Me and I... We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes were a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration Were a funny combination Me and I I don't think I'm different or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute And you'll find the answer in it Everyones a freak We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes were a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration Were a funny combination Me and I |

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through Here we are, me and you Feeling lost and feeling blue It's the end of the party And the morning seems so grey So unlike yesterday Now's the time for us to say Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I Sometimes I see How the brave new world arrives And I see how it thrives In the ashes of our lives Oh yes, man is a fool And he thinks he'll be okay Dragging on, feet of clay Never knowing he's astray Keeps on going anyway Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I Seems to me now That the dreams we had before Are all dead, nothing more Than confetti on the floor It's the end of a decade In another ten years' time Who can say what we'll find What lies waiting down the line In the end of eighty-nine Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy New Year Happy New Year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I |

The summer air was soft and warm The feeling right, the Paris night Did it's best to please us And strolling down the Elysee We had a drink in each cafe And you You talked of politics, philosophy and I Smiled like Mona Lisa We had our chance It was a fine and true romance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass By the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met It was the age of no regret Oh yes Those crazy years, that was the time Of the flower-power But underneath we had a fear of flying Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying We took the chance Like we were dancing our last dance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants our last winter Living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play And now you're working in a bank The family man, the football fan And your name is Harry How dull it seems Yet you're the hero of my dreams I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants our last winter We were living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play (fade) |

They came from the hills And they came from the valleys and the plains They struggled in the cold In the heat and the snow and in the rain Came to hear him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon (Sub luna saltamus) They came from the south From the west and the north and from the east They waited for the man Like a parish is waiting for the priest Longed to hear him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon (Sub luna saltamus) He gave them a dream He seduced everybody in the land The fire in his eyes And the fear was a weapon in his hand So they let him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon And we dance beneath the moon! |

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me I wasn't jealous before we met Now every man I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned Has overturned I beg of you Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me It was like shooting a sitting duck A little small talk a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied I skip my pride I beg you dear Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce I used to think that was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned Has overturned What can I do Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on [me] Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me |

I hear the doorbell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence I cannot move, I'm standing Numb and frozen Among the things I love so dearly The books, the paintings and the furniture Help me The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the door-knob None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient And they don't dare to come here Anymore now But how I loved our secret meetings We talked and talked in quiet voices Smiling Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces And now they've come to take me Come to break me And yet it isn't unexpected I have been waiting for these visitors Help me Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) Voices growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up |

I have a very good friend The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend She has a personal style Some people like it, others tend to go wild You hear her voice everywhere Taking the chair She's a leading lady And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean Her man is one I admire He's so courageous but he's constantly tired Each time when he speaks his mind She pats his head and says, that's all very fine Exert that will of your own When you're alone Now we'd better hurry And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean You hear her voice everywhere Taking the chair She's a leading lady And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean (she's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please) And she goes Head over heels |

Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill Birds of passage, you and me We fly instinctively When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex We're still striving for the sky No taste for humble pie Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more Clear-headed and open-eyed With nothing left untried Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done |

Do I hear what I think I'm hearing?
Do I see the signs I think I see? Or is this just a fantasy? Is it true that the beast is waking Stirring in his restless sleep tonight In the pale moonlight In the grip of this cold December You and I have reason to remember Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I don't sing They blow their horns and march along They drum their drums and look so strong You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way Taking a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance What's that sound, what's that dreadful rumble? Won't somebody tell me what I hear? In the distance but drawing near Is it only a storm approaching? All that thunder and the blinding light In the winter night In the grip of this cold December You and I have reason to remember Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I don't sing They blow their horns and march along They drum their drums and look so strong You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way Taking a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way Taking a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance |

I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs
No poet has ever painted Voices call out to me, straight to my heart So strange yet we're so well acquainted I let the music speak, with no restraints I let my feelings take over Carry my soul away into the world Where beauty meets the darkness of the day Where my mind is like an open window Where the high and healing winds blow From my shallow sleep the sounds awake me I let them take me (Let them wake me, let them now, let them take me) Let it be a joke Let it be a smile Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while Let it be a tear Let it be a sigh Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn Rustling down an old alley And in the dead of night I find myself A blind man in some ancient valley I let the music speak, leading me gently Urging me like a lover Leading me all the way Into a place Where beauty will defeat the darkest day Where I'm one with every grand illusion No disturbance, no intrusion Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me I let them use me (All illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion) Let it be a joke Let it be a smile Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while Let it be a tear Let it be a sigh Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry Let it be a tear Let it be a sigh Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry Let it be the joy of each new sunrise Or the moment when a day dies I surrender without reservation No explanations No questions why I take it to me and let it flow through me Yes, I let the music speak I let the music speak |

They passed me by,
all of those great romances. You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances. My picture clear. Everything seemed so easy. And so I dealt you the blow One of us had to go. Now it's different, I want you to know. One of us is crying. One of us is lying in a lonely bed. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely. One of us is only Waiting for a call. Sorry for herself. Feeling stupid, feeling small. Wishing she had never left at all. I saw myself as a concealed attraction. I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action. Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving. That's how I started the show. One of us had to go. Now I'm changed and I want you to know One of us is crying. One of us is lying in a lonely bed. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely. One of us is only Waiting for a call. Sorry for herself. Feeling stupid, feeling small. Wishing she had never left at all. Never left at all. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call Sorry for herself Feeling stupid, feeling small Wishing she had never left at all |

He had what you might call a trivial occupation
He cleaned the platforms of the local railway station With no romance in his life Sometimes he wished he had a wife He read the matrimonial advertising pages The cries for help from different people, different ages But they had nothing to say At least not until the day When something special he read This is what it said: If you dream of the girl for you Then call us and get two for the price of one We're the answer if you feel blue So call us and get two for the price of one If you dream of the girl for you (If you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you) Then call us and get two for the price of one (Why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one) We're the answer if you feel blue (We may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two) So call us and get two for the price of one (Why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one) He called the number and a voice said, "Alice Whiting" The voice was husky and it sounded quite exciting He was amazed at his luck The purest streak of gold he'd struck He said, "I read your ad, it sounded rather thrilling I think a meeting could be mutually fulfilling Why don't we meet for a chat The three of us in my flat I can't forget what I read" This is what it said: If you dream of the girl for you Then call us and get two for the price of one We're the answer if you feel blue So call us and get two for the price of one If you dream of the girl for you (If you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you) Then call us and get two for the price of one (Why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one) We're the answer if you feel blue (We may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two) So call us and get two (Why don't you call us and you'll get two) For the price of one... She said, "I'm sure we must be perfect for each other And if you doubt it you'll be certain when you meet my mother" |

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go (Slipping through my fingers all the time) Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers... Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile... |

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls In the twilight hour I am alone Sitting near the fireplace Dying embers warm my face In this peaceful solitude All the outside world subdued Everything comes back to me again In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room Half awake and half in dreams Seeing long forgotten scenes So the present runs into the past Now and then become entwined Playing games within my mind Like the embers as they die Love was one prolonged goodbye And it all comes back to me tonight In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room I close my eyes And my twilight images go by All too soon Like an angel passing through my room |

Sun, I can't slow you down Run, build on sacred ground All of the leavesd have blown away Ghosts on a distant highway In a merry-go-round Sleep, if your eyes must close Weep, over a poisoned rose Soon all the tears will blow away Dust on a distant highway In the merry-go-round Fly, closer to the sun Fight, 'till your world is one Soon all the stars will burn away Ghosts on a different highway In the merry-go-round Oh, shall we sleep tonight Take all your dreams and drive away Smoke on a distant highway From the merry-go-round All my people Respect your Mother Earth Thank you for this life and this breath And all my people's strength |

I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, How I wish this road would take me home where I belong, Cause I have found no other place where I would stay, I'm tired and all my dreams have failed along the way. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, Though I wonder what my folks would think about me now, I guess I've changed, like people do when things go wrong, But in the end, somehow I know we'll get along. Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay... I'm on my way... Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, How I wish to see the old house where I used to live, And all my friends, will they be there, when I come home, How I regret the day when I set out to roam, Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay... I'm on my way... Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa |

Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this In the firelight, Fernando You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar I could hear the distant drums And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar They were closer now, Fernando Every hour, every minute, seemed to last eternally I was so afraid, Fernando We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die And I'm not ashamed to say The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Now we're old and grey, Fernando And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand Can you hear the drums, Fernando? Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande? I can see it in your eyes How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Yes, if I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando... |

I was out for the morning sun
Couldn't sleep so I thought I'd take a walk I was thinking of you and me And I went to your house 'cos I had to talk I could hardly believe my eyes When I saw this guy closing your front door Had a feeling of emptiness Like I've never had before And I close my eyes Will you leave me, girl? And I realise It's a crazy world As he disappeared in his car I was stunned and I didn't know what to do Everything I had ever been Everything in my life's a part of you And I just couldn't move my feet So I stood on the pavement as you came out You acted as you didn't know What it was all about And I close my eyes Will you leave me, girl? And I realise It's a crazy world Baby how could you do it You just told me lies Had you been behind my back with other guys? Baby how could you tell me There was only me I was stupid to believe you I was blind but now I see Then you smiled and you took my hand "There is something," you said "that you may not know. There's a couple of men in my life, And one of them is my brother Joe. He's been gone for a long long time But he's back and I think he's gonna stay. You'll be seeing a lot of him He's so nice in every way." And I close my eyes Never leave me, girl And I realise It's a crazy world So I close my eyes Never leave me, girl Then I realise It's a crazy world |

Summer night city...
Summer night city... Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city In the sun I feel like sleeping I can't take it for too long My impatience slowly creeping Up my spine and growing strong I know what's waiting there for me Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo Lots to take and lots to give Time to breathe and time to live Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city It's elusive call it glitter Somehow something turns me on Some folks only see the litter We don't miss them when they're gone I love the feeling in the air My kind of people everywhere When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo And tomorrow, when it's dawning And the first birds start to sing In the pale light of the morning Nothing's worth remembering It's a dream, it's out of reach Scattered driftwood on the beach Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city (repeat 2x and fade) |

Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard So I can't understand how its happened, how everything's changing This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter You must have a lovelight Everything around you is lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there The lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight How I remember the first time we went to the movies We had decided to meet on the corner downtown And I waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter When you came into my life it all got so much brighter You must have a lovelight Everything around you is lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there The lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight And I feel so good And I feel so right And I know that you must have a lovelight You've got lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there You've got lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight Everything about you is right Let it glow and let it be bright I don't want to lose your lovelight Shining like a star in the night |

Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own! Autumn winds Blowing outside the window as I look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Movie stars Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win It's so different from the world I'm living in Tired of TV I open the window and I gaze into the night But there's nothing there to see; no one in sight There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight! Take me through the darkness to the break of the day |

He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head Tells me I must take him seriously Droning on the usual way He's such a clever guy And I wonder should I laugh or cry He's (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought Trousers too short Gives (gives) me (me) all his small philosophy Carries on the way he does And me I get so tired And I wonder should I laugh or cry High and mighty his banner flies A fool's pride in his eyes Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is) All I see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon Of an eternal lie So should I laugh or cry Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown Cold as a stone No (no) more (more) pain where there was pain before Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry And I wonder should I laugh or cry High and mighty his banner flies A fool's pride in his eyes Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is) All I see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon Of an eternal lie So should I laugh or cry |

Now there's a shadow falling over our faces
Doubt forever in our hearts And in a while we'll stop to pick up the traces We won't find the missing parts Buy me a ticket I'll go to the Bahamas I need a rest from our petty little dramas Yes I really do Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one I wasn't ready for this kind of intrusion I was taken by surprise Now both of us are in a state of confusion Hesitation in our eyes Something unwanted has entered our existence I think it's better to view it from a distance Yes I really do Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one |

Down in the street and I could fly
Tell you what I'd do I'd fly in loops and curlicues And end up at the zoo I'd lift the top right off the cage And set the birds all free And as they fluttered to the sky I'd sing "I'm sorry, Cassandra" I'm sorry, Cassandra, off we go Just spread your wings out wide Catch the breeze and glide Relax enjoy the ride High above the world below Down in the street and I could fly I never would be late I'd sail right over traffic jams And through the school yard gate The teacher she would probably faint I'd casually fold my wings Then skip to class and take my seat Just as the school bell rings I'm sorry, Cassandra, off we go Just spread your wings out wide Catch the breeze and glide Relax enjoy the ride High above the world below The oceans look like puddles, The cars like tiny toys The clouds are mounds of whipped cream For all the girls and boys I'm sorry, Cassandra, off we go Just spread your wings out wide Catch the breeze and glide Relax enjoy the ride High above the world below I'm sorry, Cassandra, off we go |

Dont know how to take it, dont know where to go
My resistances running low And every day the hold is getting tighter and it troubles me so (you know that Im nobodys fool) Im nobodys fool and yet its clear to me I dont have a strategy Its just like taking candy from a baby and I think I must be Under attack, Im being taken About to crack, defences breaking Wont somebody please have a heart Come and rescue me now cause Im falling apart Under attack, Im taking cover Hes on my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothings gonna stop him now Should I want to, Im not sure I know how This is getting crazy, I should tell him so Really let my anger show cause waiting at the answer to his questions is a definite no! (Im kinda flattered I suppose) Guess Im kind of flattered but Im scared as hell Staring down the deepest well I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where Id be if I fell Under attack, Im being taken About to crack, defences breaking Wont somebody please have a heart Come and rescue me now cause Im falling apart Under attack, Im taking cover He saw my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothings gonna stop him now Should I want to, Im not sure, I wont know how Under attack, Im being taken About to crack, defences breaking Wont somebody see and save a heart Come and rescue me now cause Im falling apart Under attack, Im taking cover He saw my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothings gonna stop him now Should I want to, Im not sure, I wont know how |

I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained The day before you came I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame The day before you came Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came |
