When I ws a young man, I had to kick and scratch and claw Now it's like top gun in the Old West, everybody wants me to draw If I had known it would be likethis I might have given it a second thought But if someone had told me to give it up, it's a line that I wouldn't have bought Look at me I'm the great white hope Can't you see I'm up against the ropes Don't you know It's so hard to cope When you feel Like the great white hope Now you've paid your money you're sitting in your ringside seat And I know that some of you out there, might wanna see the champ get beat If I had known it would be like this I might have given it a second thought But real life sure isn't like school, there's some lessons that just can't be taught |

Sing for the day
Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life HANNAH you′re with me in spirit wherever I go To the ends of the earth and all points between high and low Each night by the stage you appear as you are The ever intangible child, ageless and timeless as Dorian Grey Oh HANNAH I know that it′s you and you′re leading me on HANNAH you′re my inspiration, my fountain of youth And as your surrogate leader I′m bound in your search for the truth And yes how the truth rushes out, when it′s become honestly clear I see your anxious and curious eyes But HANNAH I need you as much as you think you need me Come to your window tonight and we′ll fly to your dreams And we′ll Sing for the day Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life Sing for the day Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life HANNAH don′t fail me I need you like never before Father Time is at my back, on my heels, behind every door He says son when the youth has but gone from your face Will she let you grow older with grace Or will she give you up for one younger than you Oh HANNAH please tell me the things that he says aren′t true HANNAH I′m honestly hoping you′ll always be there And we′ll Sing for the day Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life Sing for the day Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life |

Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by James Young All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the music in their story All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the lands of ancient glory In the year of the Lords The message came from above The heavens opened with their mighty sound that shook the people in the town And so we came from everywhere The young and old the rich and poor To hear the legend of the magic ring and of the powers it could bring, they sing All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the music in their story All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery it brings May we someday wear its glory And now the message is clear For I became a Lord this year And though the legend was pure fantasy We still need the hope it brings, so let's sing All hail to the Lords of the Ring To believe is a wonderous thing May we always sing their glory All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the promise of their story |

Blue Collar Man
by Styx Give me a job give me security Give me a chance to survive I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line My God I'm hardly alive My mother 'n father, my wife and my friends You've seen them laugh in my face But I've got the power and I've got the will I'm not a charity case I'll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my eye on the keyhole If it takes all that to be just what I am Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man Make me an offer that I can't refuse Make me respectable man This is my last time in the unemployment line So like it or not I'll take those long night, impossible odds Keeping my back to the wall If it takes all night to be just who I am Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man Keeping my mind on a better life Where happiness is only a heartbeat away Paradise can it be all I heard it was I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there (repeat chorus) |

Queen Of Spades
by Styx (James Young/Dennis DeYoung) Day into night she's with me How sweet is her warm embrace Safe in the scent of jasmine So safe in her gold and lace Mornings I find, she's left me So cold so alone, but aware I try to escape, she finds me Oh run though I may, she's there, there, there, there, there... Luck is a lady whose smile is as cold as a stone She'll bring you things, many things you might never have known But when your die is cast she'll have the final laugh at you She'll lock you in a duel, where you come out the fool CHORUS Beware of the Queen of Spades Her black widow's curse might find you yet Beware of a love that you will regret Her love means only your death Day into night she's with me Turn of a card, she's there The first time is free, you know But from now on, pay me, me, me, me, me... CHORUS |

<< Pieces Of Eight >>
--- Styx (Dennis DeYoung) It's six o'clock Good morning sounds are everywhere The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair I hurry through my life never stopping to see How beautiful it was meant to be I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise Broken dreams as we shuffle by It's six o'clock it's quitting time I'm done for the day Out on the streets I overheard a lady say We now have everything or so people say BUt now this emptiness haunts me every day We seek the lion's shaare never knowing why Come alive spreaI your wings and fly CHORUS Pieces of eight The searcfor the money tree Don't cash your freedoms in for gold Pieces of eight Can't buy you everything Don't let it turn your heart to stone |
