In the time it takes us to walk another city mile
we could do it in the movies do it in the movies like what you're on about by the time I show you a reason why you're out of style you could see it in the movies clearly I don't even know what I'm doing Or what I'm on about it feels like somebody else's lights came on I'll take another look around and the feeling I get when I watch you day in or day out can make me feel l can turn it off or on every day you wonder if I can read between the lines I could do it in a movie do it in a movie - that's what it's all about it feels like somebody else's lights came on I'll take another look around and I don't even know where I'm going or where I'm coming from and now I'm travling down the autobahn and I'm too afraid to turn around and I can't even see where I'm going but I'll take another look around like they did in the movies just like they did it in the movies we could do it in a movie |

You, I wish i knew you better
Then again I can wait 'til next September Slowly buying time These conditions make me restless Then again I admit that this will test us 'Cuz everywhere now I can see the number one followed by the nine I wonder if a year or two will matter because I'm... Dreaming of you, all day, hardly seems appropriate Tested and true, all day, the situations's delicate You, I dreamt the seven towers Were slowly falling down And in the last remaining hours Still everywhere I could see the number one followed by the nine Just this once I think I might cast the rules aside Dreaming of you, all day, hardly seems appropriate Just drifting through, all day, no one seems to notice it Everyone's behind us We don't dare lead the blindest Still the promise of the victory Eliminates stakes against me Dreaming of you, all day, hardly seems appropriate Just drifting through, all day, no one seems to notice it You, I wish I knew you better |

Time may flow over realising goals that no one knows
And My friends- They'd never admit it though Because they can block it out and continue to roll on But Me- I know That everythings about to blow away For real this time and no one's watching. All of my life I've dreamed about it And now that it's gone I can't do without it All of life I've stood behind it Like trying to hide The Great Wall of China Flying above Heathrow Never dreamin of the time or my dwindling cash flow And I know- I never said That a European climb isn't starving my ego One thing- I know Is everything's about to blow away For real this time and no one's watching All of the time I waisted on it Preparing to see what the others think of it Keeping in mind I'm still above it But not very high because I'm only hovering All of my life I've stood behind it Like trying to hide The Great Wall By: Andrew Scott and the rest of Sloan |

(C. Murphy/Sloan)
All the resumes were splendid But she's the one they recommended For the job but starting late in life Means she can't celebrate She hasn't time or energy To spend on friends and family She's got some catching up to do And precious hours are few Oh the life of a working girl I used to see her all the time She's young at heart but no teenager Early thirties I would wager I came along a little later So I could merely carbon date her Age, she's not keen to It's a trap, I a door In the stage she can go through Until the encore Now she's the one who gives belated Birthday wishes devastated She forgot it on the day But this is not a job that pays her By the hour or she'd be set Before the sun so she forgets These things like light upon her face Who'll spring her from this place Oh the life of a working girl I used to see her all the time Oh the life of a working girl I used to see her all the time Now someone's had a few successes Who, I'll give you twenty guesses Take some credit just admit it Everybody knows you did it It's not that I'm not happy for her But it's not easy to adore her From afar does she get lonely Like I do if I could only see her all the time See her all the time Oh the life of a working girl I used to see her all the time Oh the life of a working girl I used to see her all the time |

I can see the light
shining down above from Tokyo I turn from wrong to right on a less than supersonic flight and all I really want to know I really really need to know is how many times can a person try to hold it together flying too high never seeing the ground - for the sky just revolving look in my eyes and try to tell me that you're seeing another and how many ways do you feel it when you're flying above her believing the lows not the highs - problem solving never seeing the ground - for the sky and revolving now the time is right under brand new ultraviolet light I turn from wrong to right on a subway underneath tokyo and just before I have to go there's something that I need to konw how many ways can a woman sympathise with her mother something isn't right and the family life is touch and go nobody knows anymore whether love can go from one to the other believeing the lows not the high - never knowing well I'm taking a pice of the blue sky and revolving never seeing the ground - for the sky never feeling the lows - only I can see the light |

And I know just why Yeah, I know just why Cause I've got something so elusive To the naked eye To the naked eye Get your elevator Off of my ground floor Your elevator And I guess my odd behaviour Comes down to human nature You're too good for this, you don't deserve it And I can get behind anything [Anything] You tell me to-ooh And I believe about anything [Anything] You say is true It's in your eyes All the time All the time It's not hard to find And I guess my odd behaviour Comes down to human nature You're too good for this, you don't deserve it And I can get behind anything [Anything] You tell me to-ooh And I believe about anything [Anything] You say is true Cause you're so crazy, crazy for me And I don't know why Yeah, I don't know why It's in your eyes All the time All the time It's not hard to find It's in your eyes All the time It's in your eyes All the time All the time It's not hard to find It's in your eyes All the time |

And and though no one knows for certain -
When or where I'll draw the curtain It's because it's been said that I love a long goodbye We broke it off but not forgotten but I thought that this could an opportunity to us to try To examine my reluctant leaving, (Sometimes sad) and if you're lonesome call I love a long a goodbye and That's unworthy of me Mind you, I need to know you love me Look at things from my perspective Please just what about me makes my motive seem so hard to jusitfy? Well talk to me tomorrow and I'll have another story I'll make sure I do - I love a long goodbye That's unworthy of me Mind you, I need to know you love me Goodbye, you can know this for certain I love you and I hate to draw the curtain |

Ooh, are you giving me back my love?
Ooh, are you giving me back my love? Till the words flow like the pros And the meaning shows I'll be quick and state my case Underlined and single-spaced 'Cause I need to know Ooh, are you giving me back my love? Ooh, are you giving me back my love? When the pencil's on the page And thoughts just slowly engage Hope you're hearing this last line Waiting for the signs And then you'll know I'm singing my heart out But you were so out of range I'm singing my heart out But you were so out of range I'm singing my heart out And it was out of my range I'm singing my heart out And you were so out of range Ooh, are you giving me back my love? Ooh, are you giving me back my love? Ooh, are you giving me back my love? Johnny and Noelle are drifting |
