Jeff Lynne

Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today?
Did you see him run through the streets and far away?
Aah
Did you see him run, did you see him fall?
Did his life flash by at the bedroom door?

Did you hear the news it came across the air today?
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay
Ahhh
Did you see him hide, did you see him crawl?
Does his life mean more than it did before?

Did you see that man running through the streets today?
Did you catch his face, was it 10538?
Ahhhh

A penny in your pocket suitcase in your hand
They won't get you very far
now you're a 21st century man

Fly across the city rise above the land
you can do most anything
now you're a 21st century man

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
you still wander the fields of your sorrow

One day you're a hero next day you're a clown
there's nothing that is in between
now you're a 21st century man

You should be so happy, you should be so glad
so why are you so lonely, you 21st century man

You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone
return with what you've learnt
they'll kiss the ground you walk upon

Things ain't how you thought they were
nothing have you planned
so pick up your penny and your suitcase
you're not a 21st century man

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
you still wander the fields of your sorrow
21st century man

Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still youre not there
Youre a long time gone
Such a long time gone

Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away til its all obsolete
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone

Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will

Youre a long time gone

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

Youre a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Youre a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
Youre a long time gone

I came along to see your face,
But the only thing I got from you,
was telling me it's fantasy,
That you would always be with me,
I can tell you that's it's true,
I'm waiting here, but it's alright,
It's alright with me, you better believe me now.

I guess it's like a mountain side,
You've got to climb it to the top,
Floating in a sea of dreams,
The only thing that you can see,
Is the view above the clouds.

I'm waiting here, but it's alright,
Still it's alright with me,
You better believe me now.

I ve been workin' so hard, baby,
tryin' to get to you.
I'm gonna be there soon because

In the heat of the day many miles away
when the sun is beating down upon the main street
I'll be waiting here at the station,
I gotta move down the line.
They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing
and they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done.
You know I got to make the deadline.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong
and the people dancing all across the city.
I'm leaving here tonight,
I gotta move down the line.
I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five,
I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning,
maybe three or four hundred miles.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

When the wind is blowing softly
through the streets of a little town and the music's playin
you're waiting somewhere over the horizon.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

- Jeff Lynne

She was a good girl
Been true to herself
Never swayed by the notions of somebody else
She'd had it rough, maybe most of the time
With only one thing on her mind

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

There could be blue skies in her heart
She was waitin' for the good times to start
She never wanted diamonds
She never wanted gold
She was holdin' out for someone to hold

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

A loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

Loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man

The gold verandah in the dark has gone,
Down to the metal man,
No better time to leave the ground,
And maybe try to understand,

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright,

And through the darkest times of your life,
You always tried to be the one,
And now the times have made you wonder,
If you ever knew what was going on,

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

(Solo)

No use thinkin' about what you ain't got,
Just makes you bitter,
And as you speak everything you say,
Goes out on the Big Transmitter,

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

My Lord King:
You stoop to betray your own people
And even in the eyes of God do you not relent
I am therefore bound by no other course,
I shall raise an army

Together we will march against you and your kind
And every born man will fight
To regain his own freedom

And cleanse his retched soul
Arise! Arise!

My Lord King:

To regain his own freedom

And cleanse his retched soul
Arise! Arise!

And cleanse his retched soul
Arise! Arise!

Echoing:
Can you hear me?
I love you.

Believe me now
I could never say goodbye
Don't leave me now
Believe me now.

I've been thinking it over
So many times they say
You got it made
They never understand
The answer lies within your soul
'cos no one know which side
The coin will fall.

Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning, turning...

Save it for a rainy day
For when the cold wind blows
Just to see how they run
I thought they'd know
I tried my best, all i could do
But somehow it was not enough for you.

Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning, turning,
Turning, turning...

Chorus:
I remember the dead of night
A lonely light that shines upon the window
I see it all so clear
The tenderness, the silent tears
Out here in the pouring rain
Through cold dark waiting days
I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending, on and on they go.

I think i'm going home
I think i'm gonna have to start again
It's rather sad
Because i've looked around, can't seem to find
Whatever's always rolling through my mind

Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning
Baby i know
Big wheels turning, turning
Turning, turning...

Repeat chorus

Working on the road across this great big world
I've been rolling like a stone, i never get back home
Yes, i've been long-gone
And boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Been across the ocean to the south sea isles
Yeah, i travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles
And i've been long-gone
And boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Chorus:
Across the world i've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name.

I wouldn't change the things i do for anything
But i'd just like to hear the message of the streets again
Give me a ticket
Cause boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet
Industrial revolution put it on its feet
But it's a long, long way
Boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Repeat chorus

I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks i meet
They'll say "you won't stay long, you got them travelling feet
You'll soon be long-gone
'cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus

The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
But you don't realize just what they say
You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done
It makes me feel so sad to think what I might've had
I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone
But it's only make believe

You work, you work, you work so hard and then
Someone, someone will come around again
You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel
The places that I go don't feel good anymore
I see it all rainbows in fall I see her face upon my wall
But it's only make believe

Fly away, bluebird fly away for me
To a place somewhere far across the sea
Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today
The waves that crash upon the sand
Another place, a far off land
And every day, I have to stay, but you are free
You could fly away-
But it's only make believe

Little darlin' of my life
You keep movin' 'cross my mind
You gave me a sunny day
Now it looks as if I'll pay.

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

Bluebird came to me tonight
Waiting patiently for light
She said, "I know that you will grieve
But my darlin', I must leave."

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

Bluebird say it is not so
Please I cannot hear you speak
It must be that you're so tired
In the darkness of the night.

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe,
No, no, I don't believe

Little Darlin' of my life

You gave me a sunny day
Now it looks as if I'll pay

In the darkness of the night

Why do they say Bluebird is dead?
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird
The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe

Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all
the noise.
It's for you, all the town's waiting
there.
Let us go, there's a show like you ain't
seen before.
Welcome home, where you been all
these years.
Look around, all the crowd is in tears.
It's so good to see you in

Somebody
Told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

And pretty soon she′s really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is (static!)
Information, I′m still here
Re-dial on automatic

Calling America (can′t get a message through)
Calling America (that′s what she said to do)
Calling America (that′s where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America

But I′m just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

All I had to do was pick up the phone
I′m out in space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

She left a number I could call
But no one′s there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on

Said she′d call when she′d been gone a while
Guess she′s missing me across the miles
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America

Midnight, on the water,
I saw, the ocean's daughter,
Walking on a wave's chicane,
Staring as she called my name.
And I can't get it out of my head,
No I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead,
'Cos I can't get it out of my

Everywhere the sun is shining
All around the world, it's shining
But cold winds blow across your mind
Confusion -- it's such a terrible shame
Confusion -- you don't know what you're saying
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Every night you're out there, darling
You're always out there running
And I see that lost look in your eyes
Confusion -- I don't know what I should do
Confusion -- I leave it all up to you
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Dark is the road you wander
And as you stand there under
The starry sky, you feel sad inside
Confusion -- you know it's driving me wild
Confusion -- it comes as no big surprise
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Confusion, confusion
Confusion, confusion

Here she comes down the street and that look is in her eye
And the way she looks, if looks could kill they might
All the kids down in the street run away
When she goes by it's the end of the day
So believe what they say, there's danger in the air

Look through a window and you'll see her standing there
She's the latest of the greatest with the wind blowin' in her hair
The prima donna she's back in town
And you see her for miles around
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

Chorus:
Beware there's danger ahead
The endless summer is dead
Look out there's danger ahead

Monday mornin' she's already up and gone
She knows what she wants and she knew it all along
With her entourage on either side
Just one look she can't be denied
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

Repeat Chorus:

She's got a reputation that's way ahead of her time
She's got adulation that's way ahead of her mind
Everybody runs around to please
When she looks in the mirror she just has to freeze
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

Repeat Chorus

In the city where the lights are pretty
And the girls dance in the night...

In the city, there's a dark, dark house
Where no one dares to go...

Oh, oh...

In this life I've seen ev'rything I can see, woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've see babies dancin' in the midnight sun
I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men cryin' at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sittin' watchin' picture slides
But I never seen nothin' like you
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
Do ya, do ya want my love?

Well, I heard the crowd singin' out of tune
As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne
By the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you

In the country where the sky
Touches down on the field
She lay her down to rest in the mornin' sun
They came -a-runnin' just to get a look
Just to feel, to touch her long black hair
They don't give a damn

But I never seen nothin' like you
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
Do ya, do ya want my love?

Well I think you know
What I'm tryin' to say, woman
That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know
That I've got to get it all
To get it all to grow

Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?
Do ya, do ya want my love?

Don't Bring Me Down
Electric Light Orchestra

You got me running going out of my mind
You got me thinking me that I'm wasting my time

Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, ooh ooh

Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You want to stay out with your fancy friends
I'm telling you it's gotta be the end

Don't bring me down, Bruce (x3)
Don't bring me down

What happenned to the girl I used to know
You let your mind out somewhere down the road

You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right

Don't bring me down, Bruce (3x)
Don't bring me down

You're looking good just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass

Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You got me crawling up to you every day

Down, down, down, down, down
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

The world outside don't like us much
'Cause they ain't got our classy touch
But they ain't good enough to breathe
This town's good air, we make 'em leave

CHORUS
But it's no, no, no, you really can't do that
No, no, no, down home town

No monkey business in this town
Well, who do you think you're pushing 'round
This town's respectable and clean
Just look around, you'll see what I mean

But they ain't good enough to breathe
This town's good air, we make 'em leave

CHORUS
But it's no, no, no, you really can't do that
No, no, no, down home town

No monkey business in this town
Well, who do you think you're pushing 'round

Look out

Saviour of the night came
Slowly on the silent river
And the lord of life came following,
His sins to be forgiven
While the world sat back
And laughed away the hours
Till the dawning of the daybreak.

I heard them laugh, I heard them cry
I saw them praying to the sky
I heard the wind howl in the trees
Down there on bended knee
And I see the light
But I know I must be dreaming.

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels,
It better be real.

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know, it's gonna be too late
Too late
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late.

Here, there, everywhere
They keep on movin' without fear
They look me up, they look me down
They press my body to the ground
But I see the light,
See the light, it's comin' shinin'.

And on a summers day
When thoughts are drifting far away
And life is good and real to see
My world is saved and I am free
But in the night
Still I know I must be dreaming.

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels,
It better be real.

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know, it's gonna be too late
Too late, ah, oh
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late.

Saviour of the night came slowly on the silent river
And the lord of life came following, his sins to be forgiven
While the world sat back and laughed away the hours
Till the dawning of the daybreak

I heard them laugh I heard them cry
I saw them praying to the sky
I heard the wind howl in the trees
Down there on bended knee
And I see the light
But I know I must be dreaming

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels, it better be real

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know it's gonna be too late

Here, There, Everywhere
They keep on movin' without fear
They look me up, they look me down
They press my body to the ground
But I see the light, see the light it's comin' shinin'

And on a Summers day
When thoughts are drifting far away
And life is good and real to see
My world is saved and I am free
But in the night
Still I know I must be dreaming

One, two, three...

Tell me I'm mistaken
I must be kinda slow
But the only time you ever cared
Was when you needed more ... easy money, easy money
You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money

If you see a sucker standing at your door
Bring him in and make him grin
Then take him to the store
Easy money, easy money
Watch out from above
You broke into the bank of love
Easy money

Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough
Easy money, easy money
Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough

I've come to the conclusion it's like the old man said
The only thing you gave me was shit and promises
Easy money, whoa whoa whoa, easy money
One day you'll have to earn all the money that you burn
Easy money

Take it, Jeff ....

Easy money

Wha, wha, yeah

Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough
Easy money, easy money
Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough

Funny thing about it
Don't even make me blue
'Cause there's no better deal around
Than saying goodbye to you
Easy money, easy money

You snatched that cash right into your stash, easy money
You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money
Easy money, woo woo woo, easy money

Here it comes, another lonely day
Playing the game, I'll sail away
On a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key to the eternal dream
The painted ladies of the Avalon
Play in the sun, take to the road
To the north there lies the chills of cold
To the south there lies the tales untold
But in between their lies, the place to close your eyes
And I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free of the world
Eldorado
Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing
Bird on the wind
Feel, feel so free
Through the life upon the rooftop haze
All the cheating and the broken days
So through it all I see
There's nothing left for me
Sitting here on top of everywhere
What do I Care
Days never end
I know the voyage's end will soon be here
No eternal life is here for me
And now I found the key
To the eternal dream

The dreamer, the unworken fool,
High on a hill in Eldorado.

The dreamer, the unwoken fool,
In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow.
The love of ages fills the head.
The days that linger there in prey of
emptiness, of burned out dreams.
The minutes calling through the
years.
The universal dreamer rises up above
his earthly burden.
Journey to the dead of night.
High on a hill in Eldorado

Bye bye, pretty woman
I??ve got to leave you now
I find you never really cared.:
Stand back, take a look at you
You couldn??t care if you wanted to
You keep saying it??s gonna change
But every time it comes back again
It??s a merry-go-round.
Endless

Bye bye, pretty woman
I??ve got to leave you now
I find you never really cared.

Chorus:
Stand back, take a look at you
You couldn??t care if you wanted to
You keep saying it??s gonna change
But every time it comes back again
It??s a merry-go-round.

Endless lies shine in your eyes.

It??s alright, count to ten
It will all be better then
It??s alright, the world will go away.

Repeat chorus

Endless lies, I can see it in your eyes
The heartbreak is, if you could only see
That??s not the way it??s supposed to be
Endless tears that flowed through the years
You take it all, and then you take some more
Then you come running back to me.

Play on, pretty music
Play on and on for me
Shine on, silver stars
Over the sea.

Endless lies, I can see it in your eyes
The heartbreak is, if you could only see
That??s not the way it??s supposed to be.

Endless lies shine in your eyes.

You should be so happy
You should be so glad
21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
You still wander the fields of your sorrow.

Time, time, time, time...

I see that look of old
Good tidings they are comin'
Wake up that pretty face
And tell me all that you know
Just see the difference now
You're back in front of the show
Such a big deal
How does it feel?

The world is watchin' you
Your troubles now are over
Just see the people stare
They love you, don't you know?

You drive a Thunderbird
To every single show
If you gotta go,
Go now.

And when you cry,
All the world will cry
If you should laugh
Well, they'll all fall down.

You'd better make it soon
Oh, your sins have been forgivin'
When you start fallin'
There is no one there to hold.

You trade your life in for a bag of shiny gold
With something to hold
Something to hold.

And when you cry,
All the world will cry
If you should laugh
Well, they'll all fall down.

Nothing is better than
Going home without a reason
I look into the sky
And see the reason for life
Everyone's born to die.

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.

Hey woman, you got the blues, cos′ you ain′t got no one else to use.
There′s an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
between here and there
There′s a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha Ha woman it′s a crying shame
But you ain′t got no one else to blame

Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin′ in a daze,
Ha Ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you,
It′s so good that you′re feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.

Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now you′re tryin′ to wail a different song,
Ha Ha funny how you broke me up,
you made the wine now you drink the cup
I came runnin′ every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin′ in your eyes,
Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain′t got no place left to go

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey woman you got the blues
Cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads no where
So just make some miles between here and there
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha woman, it's a crying shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame

Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha ha woman
What you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face board the very next train
(repeat chorus)

Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you're to wail a different song
Ha, ha funny how you broke me up
]You made the wine now you drink a cup
I come runnin' every time you cried
I thoughjt I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go

I used to think she was the greatest thing
I really cared, gave her a diamond ring
She said she'd rather die than ever leave me
Well I never saw her face since then
And if the law don't get her then I will-
Four little diamonds

She must be somewhere on the open road
She always said she was a lonely one
She gets you down with her tales of woe
She took me for everything
And if the law don't get her then I will
Four little diamonds

Chorus:
I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn
But she was gone with the night
I thought about the things she said
And all the things we'd done
But where could she run- she ran away
There's just no answer to give

I keep wonderin' about her, day and night
She probably thinks I was a fool- she's right
She don't know it
But I'm gonna keep on searchin' for that woman
I'm gonna search everywhere
And if the law don't get her then I will
Four little diamonds

Repeat Chorus:

I still hear her callin' out to me,
I still listen for her endlessly
But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater
I gotta find where she hides
'Cause if the law don't get her then I will
Four little diamonds

Oh you, you're so hard to get to,
Oh you, you don't wanna play,
You were no better before,
I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you last night
From the end of the world.

Oh you, you keep me hangin' 'round and 'round
And 'round,
Oh you, look at the trouble I've found,
You were no better before,
I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you last night
From the end of the world.

I saw you last night but you couldn't answer,
You were a lonely little sidewalk dancer,
When I woke up I could not stand it,
You were gone but I got to hand it to you.

(Solo)
Oh please if this is a game I wish someone would win
Oh please just let it fly to be upon the wind
You were no better before, I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you baby last night
From the end of the world

It's out of control (out of control)
And there's nothing i can do now
Out of control (out of control)
Spinning softly through the blue now
And look beyond these walls
As the meaning starts to dawn
It's getting to the point
Getting to the point

It's out of control (nothing i can do)
Like a fire that keeps on burning
And nobody knows (what i'm going through)
And the thoughts just keep returning
And all you had to say
Was that you were gonna stay
Getting to the point (Getting to the point)
It's getting to the point

It's getting to the point
Where nobody can stop it now
It's getting to the point
Of no return
And all that i can do
Is stand and watch it now
Watch it burn, burn, burn

It's getting to the point
Where reasons are forgotten
It's getting to the point
Where no one knows
And all that i can do
Is say i'm sorry
But that's the way it goes

Getting to the point

Forever
Is a long, long way
Forever
Takes your breath away
I'd like to talk about it, try to understand
Getting to the point(Getting to the point)
getting to the point

It's getting to the point
Where nobody can stop it now
It's getting to the point
Of no return
And all that i can do
Is stand and watch it now
Watch it burn, burn, burn

It's getting to the point
Where reasons are forgotten
It's getting to the point
Where no one knows
And all that i can do
Is say i'm sorry
But that's the way it goes...

It's getting to the point (getting to the point)
Getting to the point (getting to the point)
It's getting to the point (getting to the point)
Getting to the point

Oh I know it's strange, but I think that it's about to change
So I'll take the chance to get back into the straight again
Heaven only knows, I'm really on the level
Heaven only knows, I'm trying to find a way
Heaven only knows, I'm walking down a straight

Here is the news,
Coming to you every hour upon the hour.

The weather's fine but there may be a meteor shower.

Here is the news,
A cure's been found for good old rocket lag,

Another action filled adventure,

Hmm....hold on tight to your dream
Yeah...hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight..ooh..to your dream

Hmm....it's a long time to be gone
Oh....time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Hold on tight to your dream

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could

Yeah....hold on tight to your dream
Yeah....hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream

Ooh yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah...hold on tight...
To your dream

On the seven seas there was a phantom ship acoming
Shinin' in the dead of night
I heard the crew a hummin'
Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen
But they didn't know the words
So I assumed that they was foreign
But I heard t

Doom, gloom and misery
That's what you gave to me
Cold, tight, late and mean
Beyond my wildest dreams

Now that it's over
And the sun came out to shine
Don't look for me
'Cause I set myself free
In my own time

New days have come along
And now I'm at where I belong
Blue sky shines above
And I got someone to love

Now I think about it
Lifts the clouds from my mind
Goin' out on the sea
Getting further from me
In my own time
My own time

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Is that a tear in your eye
Too late to cry
You and your precious disguise

Sometimes I wonder if I ever saw the sign
But it's too late to care
'Cause I've done that, been there
In my own time

So don't look for me
'Cause I set myself free
In my own time
In my own time

Dear Jo, don't know where to begin so I'll just say hello
Dear Jo, is it so much better now you're on your own
You never believed in yourself
So now that you're free does it help
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong
Dear Jo, are you livin' it up every place you go
Dear Jo, if you're havin' a hard time it sure don't show
You couldn't hold on in your mind
now is it ok is it fine
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong
Dear Jo, can you believe that it's been so long
Dear Jo, just thought I'd write and let you know
You never believed in yourself
But now that you're free does it help
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong

I spent some time across the waves
I learned a lot of things I never could
I waved my magic wand over the past
I never understood

It really doesn't matter at all
It really doesn't matter at all
If you found what you're lookin' for
It really doesn't matter at all

We strolled around on different ground
There must have been some kind of reason
Nothing ventured, nothing found
Must have been the wrong season

It really doesn't matter at all
It really doesn't matter at all
If you found what you're lookin' for
It really doesn't matter at all

I flew you high, I flew you low
I flew you all the way around
You played for me your pretty tune
Now look what I have found

It really doesn't matter at all
It really doesn't matter at all
If you found what you're lookin' for
It really doesn't matter at all

It really doesn't matter at all, doesn't matter at all
It really doesn't matter at all, doesn't matter at all
If you found what you're lookin' for, doesn't matter at all
It really doesn't matter at all

Summer came and passed away,
hardly seemed to last a day
but it's over and what can I do?
Music playin' in the air,
silence on a darkened stair
'cos it's over and what can I do?

It's over, it's over, all over,
it's all over now
and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin' down, down, down,
it's all over.
Feelin' down, down, down.
Baby, baby, it's all gone,
rolled out to sea.

Lookin' over sunny days,
searchin' for the righteous wave
'cos it's over and what can I do?
Lookin' from this distant shore
you ain't sailin' by no more
'cos it's over and what can I do?

It's over, it's over, all over,
it's all over now
and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin' down, down, down,
it's all over.
Feellin' down, down, down.

Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over,
it's all over and what can I do?
Ah, it's over, it's over,
it's all over.

Oh, it's over, it's over.
Don't shed a tear for me, it's over,
don't shed a tear although it's over.
