Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you And I'm wondering what it is I should do It's so hard to keep the smile from my face Losing control, yeah I'm all over the place Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. Well you started out with nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends they all come crawlin' Slap you on the back and say 'Please, please.' Trying to make some sense of it all But I can see that it makes no sense at all Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor Well I don't think I can take anymore Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. Well you started out with nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends they all come crawlin' Slap you on the back and say 'Please, please.' Yeah I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. (Yes I'm) stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you (Here I am) stuck in the middle with you. |

So they made you a star, now your head's in a cloud
Now you're walking down the street with your feet off the ground They read in the press all about your success They believe every word they've been told After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself out in the cold? (ah tell me, ah tell me) When you appear on the stage there's a standing ovation You really live out your performance, you're the biggest sensation You breeze through the door and when you take a floor You expect to have it all to yourself After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself back on the shelf? (ah tell me, ah tell me) You breeze through the door and when you take a floor You expect to have it all to yourself After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself back on the shelf? (ah tell me, ah tell me) |

Hearts run dry, something happens when two hearts run dry
That you can't explain, no you don't know why, oh no oh no Love grows cold, meanwhile life goes on and the young grow old And you've seen too many dreams unfold, oh yeah when hearts run dry. The setting sun, fades away just like a love that's gone You remember when two hearts were one, oh yeah, oh yeah And in the night, you still want someone to hold you tight But your medicine just won't come right, oh no, when hearts run dry. I can't love you the way that I used to do, but don't tell me I'm using you, losing you Through empty days and lonely nights, it's memorys that keep me here with you There's no getting near to you, and I still don't know what to do, leaving you, loving you. Each day's the same, you decide to play the waiting game So you live a lie, but you feel no shame, oh no, oh no. I can't love you the way that I used to do, but don't tell me I'm using you, losing you Through empty days and lonely nights, it's memorys that keep me here with you There's no getting near to you, but I still don't know what to do, leaving you, loving you. Hearts run dry, something happens when two hearts run dry That you can't explain, no you don't know why, oh no oh no Love grows cold, meanwhile life goes on and the young grow old And you've seen too many dreams unfold, oh yeah when hearts run dry. whoa-oh, when hearts run dry whoa-oh, when hearts run dry Drums/Percussion: Arran Ahmun Other Percussion: Maurice Pert Bass Guitar: Ian Maidman Fretless Bass: Mo Foster Electric Piano: Betsy Cook Hammond Organs: Kenny Craddock Electric Guitars: Jerry Donahue Saxophone: Mel Collins Slide Guitar: Bryn Haworth Accordion: Geraint Watkins Acoustic Guitar: Gerry Rafferty Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

I was alone,
I was so tired, down to my bones. And you know everything, Every little moment had lost its ring. (chorus) I found my way to you, you came right out of the blue, And that was all you had to do, and I knew. I couldn't get you out of my mind, you know I reached you just in time, I found my way to you, and it's true. Rise up everyday It felt like you were a million miles away. And I lie down every night, I needed you beside me to make it right. (chorus) (sax solo) I found my way to you (Found my way to you), I found my way to you (Found my way to you), I found my way to you (Found my way to you), And it's true... I found my way to you (Found my way to you), I found my way to you (Found my way to you), I found my way to you (Found my way to you), And it's true... |

In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band
Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away. And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain. Remember how we met, down by the waterside How easily we forget, all the love that we knew. So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago. Remember how we met, down by the waterside How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.

You put something better
Inside of me You put something better Inside of me I could look out the windows Or stare at the wall But really it didn't matter No I just didn't care at all Could be sitting by the water & counting every stone Cause nothing means nothing When you're empty and on your own You put something better Inside of me You put something better Inside of me Makes me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me Well I knew what I was doing I was running away Busy going nowhere Just wasting the time of day Walking down the road Kicking up the stones Nothing means nothing When your empty and on your own You put something better Inside of me You put something better Inside of me Makes me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me You put something better Inside of me You put something better Inside of me Makes me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me Another World version I love you You put something better inside of me You put something better inside of me It's making me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me (touch me with your heart of gold) I could look out the window Or stare at the wall It really didn't matter No I just didn't care at all I could be sitting by the water Counting every stone Nothing means nothing When you're empty and on your own (yeah but) You put something better inside of me You put something better inside of me Making me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me (You give me something that I'd never known before) Well I knew what I was doing I was running away Busy going nowhere (nowhere) Wasting the time of day Walking down the road (yes I was) Kicking up the stones (stones) Nothing means nothing (means nothing) When your empty and on your own (yeah but) You put something better inside of me You put something better inside of me Making me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me (You give me something that I'd never known before) [Fade] You put something better inside of me (put something better inside) You put something better inside of me (put something better inside) It's making me so much stronger I'm amazed at the change in me (and I love you) Written by: Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty |

Nothing is lost
And nothing's gained It's the same old situation again No I can't give or take anymore Gets so lonely There's really nothing left to say Gets so lonely And everything's so far away No one is right And no one's wrong How can I say right now Which side I'm on No I can't give or take anymore Gets so lonely There's really nothing left to say Gets so lonely And everything's so far away Written by: Joe Egan |

I like the trees and the birds and the bees
I'm a sucker for peace and quiet But two weeks alone in this sweet little home And I feel like starting a riot I've been stuck in this old house too long I need a little change of atmosphere Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here. I greet the day in my usual way On my brow there's one more wrinkle I can't speak, I ain't shaved in a week And I look like Rip Van Winkle We've got people in this neighbourhood Who've been sleeping for a thousand years Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here. Let's take a train, or a boat and a plane And go all the way to China Let's stay alive till a hundred and five Well nothing could be finer I want to make sweet love to you, beneath a silver moon. Same old scene on the T.V. screen There's an inner city burning It's dog eat dog, live high on the hog But the lady's not for turning We've got violence on the picket lines And police in their riot gear Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here. Let's take a train, or a boat and a plane And go all the way to China Let's stay alive till a hundred and five Well nothing could be finer I want to make sweet love to you, beneath a silver moon. I like the trees and the birds and the bees I'm a sucker for peace and quiet But two weeks alone in this sweet little home And I feel like starting a riot Let's take a trip up north, to Sauchiehall Street And wish everyone a happy new year Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here. Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here Let's go little darlin', nothin' ever happens down here (dog ate the dog, the cat ate the mouse) Drums/Percussion: Arran Ahmun Bass Guitar: Pete Zorn Keyboards: Gerry Rafferty Electric Guitars: Jerry Donahue Fiddles: Rick Sanders Accordion: Geraint Watkins Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

Big old moon and a sweet starry night
I think I'll go out walking Wish I could change the way you're feelin' tonight But I'm just tired of talkin' You're still giving me that same old line Like a bird that keeps on squawkin' Sometimes I wonder what goes on in your mind I'm just tired of talkin'. Now little by little, and bit by bit, the truth is slowly dawning I love you honey, but you just won't quit, let's leave it til the morning. You lay the bait and I get caught in your trap I'm the game you're stalkin' Let's say good night and just leave it like that I'm so tired of talkin' (yes I am) Now little by little, and bit by bit, the truth is slowly dawning We've got a puzzle but the pieces don't fit, let's leave it till the morning. Same old blues at the end of the night But you've got to keep on rockin' Turn up the music, and turn out the light I'm so tired of talkin' (yeah yeah yeah) Drums/Percussion: Arran Ahmun Bass Guitar: Ian Maidman Keyboards: Kenny Craddock / Alan Clark / Gerry Rafferty Electric Guitars: Jerry Donahue Uilleann Pipes: Davy Spillane Whistle: Davy Spillane Fiddles: Rick Sanders Accordion: Geraint Watkins Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

Here we go, time to start, if you're ready,
Just get on out there, don't look so serious, Take that expression off your face, put a smile there in its place. Now you know we're on your side, so don't worry, You look the part with your faded Levi's shirt, You've got a brand new Telecaster, what more could you want? What am I doin' here? What does it all mean to you? If I could only disappear, I wonder what you all would do? Don't forget what we told you, it'll be all right As long as you remember, there's so much at stake, We can't afford to make mistakes, tonight of all nights. What am I doin' here? What does it all mean to you? If I could only disappear, I wonder what you all would do? Here we go, time to start, if you're ready, Just get on out there, don't look so serious, Take that expression off your face, put a smile there in its place. Now you know we're on your side, so don't worry, As long as you remember, there's so much at stake, We can't afford to make mistakes, tonight of all nights. |

And when I take a look around me
I wonder how the sun's so sure He knows the way And why he doesn't stray And if he spends the day Looking for another meaning Still don't know what I really believe in Aha! Will someone please put on the light Make me feel all right I've searched my head all night Looking for another meaning I've tried so hard to find What I had on my mind When I had no axe to grind And everything was all right All right! All right! And it looks like everyday Gets a little bit harder For me Me Me Me |

I've got a woman, and she's so good to me
She broke into my heart, and she still holds the key She's the only one I know, who ever really gave to me Unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love. I used to run around so fancy free But all those crazy nights just drained my energy Well I was thinking only of myself, like a fool I could not see Her unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love. Now everybody wants to share real love and understanding Life without it can seem tragic But when there is someone you love And they give you real love in return Well you know life can be magic. She can turn my whole world upside down (up, down, and around) She's the one who keeps my feet on solid ground I never knew just what I had before but now I know I've found Unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love (yeah) Now everybody wants to share real love and understanding Life without it can seem tragic But when there is someone you love And they give you real love in return Well you know life can be magic. When I'm feeling low down negative (still runnin' away) And I know I've got to change the way I live She just shakes her head and wonders If I'll ever learn to give Unselfish love, unselfish love, unselfish love (yeah) Unselfish love (I've got a woman and she's so good to me) (yes she broke into my heart, and she still holds the key) (when I'm feeling low down negative from the way I live) She gives me reason (she just shakes her head and wonders if I'll ever learn to give) Unselfish love (I've got a woman and she's so good to me) She never worries (yes she broke into my heart, and she still holds the key) Drums/Percussion: Arran Ahmun Bass Guitar: Ian Maidman Keyboards: Kenny Craddock / Alan Clark Electric Guitars: Jerry Donahue / Gerry Rafferty Saxophone: Gerry Rafferty Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

We went round in school, wrapped up in cotton wool
Dreaming 'bout the day I'd leave Couldn't wait to get out, I couldn't wait to let out All of those bad memories. Maybe I should mention I could never pay attention To all those educated fools Got to do it my way, forgettin' what they all say Making up my own kind of rules. Yeaaah, Yeaaah Yeaaah, Yeaaah Working at the desk at the local NEB Worrying about my shirt and tie Yeah I had to be clean, and you had to make it seem So's the public wouldn't blink an eye. In walks the boss, still carrying his cross Saying 'You better get it right or else' Yeah I had enough of it, me I'd rather rough it I'm just gonna please myself. Yeaaah, Yeaaah Yeaaah, Yeaaah You were walking when I found out that you're messing round with your mind Know that made you mean and cruel You got to do it your way, forgettin' what they all say Making up your own kind of rules. Got to do it your way, forgettin' what they all say Making up your own kind of rules Making up your own kind of rules. Yeaaah, Yeaaah Yeaaah, Yeaaah |

Do you remember back in '64
You came a-knockin', knockin' on my door? Yeah you really got me going But you kept me on ice I didn't care where I was going No I didn't think twice. I was just a young boy, I was so green You were so experienced, you know what I mean Still you really got me going But you kept me on ice I didn't care where I was going No I didn't think twice. Blind faith was all we had (bop she bop) Looking back it all seems kind of sad (bop she bop) We just sat around and watched it all go bad (bop she bop). I said I never thanked you for everything you'd done I had to do a lot of walking before I could run Still you really got me going But you kept me on ice I didn't care where I was going No I didn't think twice. (fade) Blind faith was all we had (bop she bop) Looking back it all seems kind of sad (bop she bop) We just sat around and watched it all go bad (bop she bop). |
