Everybody Took A Holiday
(Dee Long) It happened back in ancient times when people worked overtime, overtime In fact I think in 1985 Life was busy in the big city And the union was sitting pretty It wasn't easy to stay alive. And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country And never quite get away When the weekend came everybody took a holiday, everybody took a holiday. On a Sunday in July, everybody made up there minds And when Monday rolled around no one came home All the cities and streets were bare Everybody was havin' fun elsewhere As the weeks went by no one came home! And the stores closed down and the cars stopped runnin' and the sky cleared day-to-day But no one cared everybody took a holiday, everybody took a holiday. But the world has changed today Everyone works in the usual way But at least we had one month away. Things are much, much slower now People get away anyhow, anyhow And the weekend comes they take a holiday. An they run from the city to the sun and the country An never quite get away When the weekend comes everybody takes a holiday Everybody took a holiday, Everybody took a holiday. |

(Dee Long)
Older, it seems like each day you get older And each day the world becomes colder In a cynical way. Time, do you feel like you missed your time? I feel like I've missed mine. And I'm losing my way. I think it's time you realized For I can see it in your eyes You seem convinced that you will Live forever! Over, I feel like my life has blown over I keep looking over my shoulder And seeing nothing but grey! It's crime, don't seem like such a crime I wish I had more time But I'm drifting away. Older, you see it's like I told ya You've gained the right to grow older By living today. I think it's time you realized For I can see it in your eyes You seem convinced that you will Live forever! |

Howl At The Moon
(John Woloschuk / Dino Tome) She was a sleek an slender enchantress I'd met in the Casbah When her green eyes first met mine I was overwhelmed with awe Well we danced all night to the tango And she lured me with her charms As the band played how I prayed I'd awaken in her arms. But when I howled at the moon I knew that something was wrong She had me in a spell And I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd end up Here in prison cell And while we danced she swayed like a cobra You could almost hear her hiss As her green eyes hypnotised It was useless to resist Well she drove me home in her Jaguar And she took me to her room Though it all seemed like a dream It was there I met my doom. But when I howled at the moon I knew that something was wrong She had me in a spell An I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd en up Here in a prison cell Oh . When she said ... “Come, my little fly” “Come now, don't be shy ... just step into my web” I could feel my future fold as I blacked out cold When I came to she was dead . Ooh and then I howled at the moon I knew that something was wring She'd had me in her spell An I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd end up Here in a prison cell Oh Here in a prison cell . |

Hot Box City
(Dee Long) L.A. People in hot cars, don't know which way to go, No more room on the freeway, only want to get home, Atmosphere is oppressive, but we're breathin' it in, 'cause we all want to be there, back in the city again. Hot Box City, we're wonna lose control, The girls look pretty, and it never get's cold. Inversion layer in summer, but the people still go, Too many people in winter, tryin' to hide from the snow, Little people in hot cars, keep the city alive, That's why we're gonna be there, that's why we're gonna drive. To Hot Box City, we're gonna lose control, The girls look pretty, and it never gets cold. |

Dog Star
(Dee Long) It really doesn't matter where you are, You could be living on a distant star, Just a long as you're feeling right, You could be happy on this fine night. If you just use a little imagination, And put your mind in a new situation, You could be tripping through the galaxy, Lost in a dream, Just you and me. CHORUS You reach your arms, up to the sky, And cast your love across the universe. You're feeling happy but you don't know why. And we'll go dancing on the distant dog star with you. As we go travelling through time and space, And leave the earth to the human race, On our approach to the dog star, We can see the milky way bar. On a planet in a new constellation, We begin a great celebration, We will sing and dance until the day, 'Cause tomorrow is a week away. REPEAT CHORUS Step out on the floor, feel light on your feet, Anti-gravity's on, can't sit in your seat, You're so far from home, all at once you know, You're not ready to go, you wanna stay here for the rest of your life. Just as long as you're feeling right You could be happy on this fine night. You could be tripping through the galaxy. Lost in a dream, just you and me. REPEAT CHORUS |
