You say everything's alright I say nothing can go right, yeah Oh what a game you can play Sad days add to confusion Sad ways end in dillusion, yeah That's the name of the game
Chorus Well I know your love is rough And the road you take is tough But I just can't get enough Chequered love
Touch me, do what you want to Say no, then, I just need you Babe, your gonna drive me insane You are man for all seasons You are man with no reasons, yeah You're the man with no pain
Chorus
Oh I can't let go ( x2 ) 'cos I need you so tonight
You say everything's alright I say nothing can go right, yeah Oh what a game you can play Sad days add to confusion Sad ways end in dillusion, yeah That's the name of the game
Well I know your love is rough And the road you take is tough But I just can't get enough Chequered love
Oh I can't let go ( x2 ) 'cos I need you so tonight
Just two lovers in a seedy cafe Someone's leaving, the waiter says "Hey, won't you wait" Running nowhere, she hides in her room What he told her had to get out and soon
It's just a bad affair you've had No need to cry, don't take it bad You'll soon be glad when you're far apart
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time 'Cause I'm never gonna find that feeling again I'm never gonna find that feeling again
Now she's breaking but what can she do Somewhere out there a car disappears out of view Fumbles somewhere for stale cigarettes Looks for numbers, the ones she could dial but forgets
No point in you just looking down No way that you can turn it around You've go to realise youre free
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time 'Cause I'm never gonna find that feeling again I'm never gonna find that feeling again
No point in you just looking down No way that you can turn it around You've go to realise you're free
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time 'Cause I'm never gonna find that feeling again I'm never gonna find that feeling again
What can I say now after all is said and done You cut me up in pieces when the shooting first begun What did I do to you to make you turn away 'cause now there's nothing left for me There's nothing I can say
Now it's too late you feeling sorry You'll never change And there's nothing you can do about it
Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah Falling out - cutting me up into pieces Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah Falling out - you know that I'm so hurt baby
You said you loved me, I believed you for a while You sure could fool the angels When you use that painted smile I should have known that it was too good to be true But now that it's all over, you know I won't forget you
Now it's too late you feeling sorry You'll never change And there's nothing you can do about it
Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah Falling out - cutting me up into pieces Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah Falling out - you know that I'm so hurt baby
So now it's over and there's nothing left to say The flame that burned within my heart Now slowly fades away So don't you ever think of knocking at my door Just turn the light out, close your eyes And think of me no more
And it's too late to say you're sorry You'll never change And there's nothing you can do about it
Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah Falling out - cutting me up into pieces Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah Falling out - you know that I'm so hurt baby
Cruising 'round there's a sound with a place to go Tuning in tuning on like a radio Fell the sound in your head and you set the seal I believe it's a force of the life you feel - Tuning on
Do you know what the sounds that you hear will find Reach to space to the stars and another time I believe that they search like a seed to grow In the end it's the same anyway you go
I really can't explain I really can't explain
Crashing out for the last and the final time Could a sound and a soul travel on combined From the womb to the end is it everywhere Feel the beat of my heart and you know it's there
I really can't explain
SPOKEN
I really believe that sound reaches infinity, Do you know what I mean. I think it goes on and on forever, And if that's true And it was linked to the spiritual side of your lives, well, Then sounds could be alive. Can you imagine the possibilities for the future ? Linking the soul and the sound and then being able To make a giant spiritual musical machine, Actually a part of us and not just something you hear - it's fantastic - it's just fantastic
I dreamed I lived the whole thing just last night Somehow this film just seemed to get it right I watched a gunfire under dirty western skies The one man's vision seems to pick me up and fill my eyes
It's shane, can't you hear me calling you Shane, if I thought that you would still be riding through I said shane, please take me back there with you (take me to you)
I'm watching marian, as she let go I felt I was her for a time or so It's hard for anyone to understand her pain You gotta see the man to understand she wouldn't change
Shane, can't you hear me calling you
Shane, if I thought that you would still be riding through I said shane, please take me back there with you (take me to you)
Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, joe's calling) Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, joe's calling)
Shane, can't you hear me calling you Shane, if I thought that you would still be riding through I said shane, please take me back there with you (take me to you)

Fresh out of school the young girl lose the sound She's gonna go where the young bands hang around And it's still to right with a voice inside She's screaming, dreaming And there's no disguise when you look in her eyes she's scheming
I'm thinking about the boys She's thinking about the boys Thinking about the boys
There in the dark he starts to touch her hair Others go round but right now you don't care Well you just don't fight when they're holding you tight That feeling, feeling Well it looks to good and he's making it so appealing
I'm thinking about the boys Thinking about the boys Thinking about the boys
Still feeling ground as she goes to make the kill Watching her move the world is standing still Cos its still too right with a voice inside You screaming, dreaming And there's no disguise when you look in their eyes she's scheming
I'm thinking about the boys Thinking about the boys Thinking about the boys
Looking out a dirty old window. Down below the cars in the city go rushing by. I sit here alone and I wonder why. Friday night and everyone's moving. I can feel the heat but it's soothing. Heading down, I search for the beat in this dirty town. Down town the young ones are going. Down town the young ones are growing. We're the kids in America. We're the kids in America. Everybody live for the music-go-round. Bright ligths the music get faster. Look boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance. I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance. Hot-shot, give me no problems. Much later baby you'll be saying never mind. You know life is cruel, life is never kind. Kind hearts don't make a new story. Kind hearts don't grab any glory. We're the kids in America. We're the kids in America. Everybody live for the music-go-round. Come closer, honey that's better. Got to get a brand new experience. Feeling right. Oh don't try to stop baby. Hold me tight. Outside a new day is dawning. Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere. I don't want to go baby. New York to East California. There's a new wave coming I warn you. We're the kids in America. We're the kids in America. Everybody live for the music-go-round. We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America
Well he was Thailand based She was an airforce wife He used to fly weekends It was the easy life But then it turned around And he began to change She didn't wonder then She didn't think it strange But then he got a call He had to leave that night He couldn't say too much But it would be alright He didn't need to pack They'd meet the next night He had a job to do Flying to Cambodia
And as the nights passed by She tried to trace the past The way he used to look The way he used to laugh I guess she'll never know What got inside his soul She couldn't make it out Just couldn't take it all He had the saddest eyes The girl had ever seen He used to cry some nights As though he lived a dream And as she held him close He used to search her face Allthough she knew the truth Lost inside Cambodia
But then a call came through They said he'd soon be home She had to pack a case And they would make a rendez-vous But now a year has passed And not a single word And all the love she knew Has disappeared out in the haze Cambodia - Don't cry now - No tears now
And now the years have passed With not a single word But there is only one thing left I know for sure She won't see his face again
Child come away It's the girl with the deputy walking by Child go and play No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
I read the story about a week ago They found her on the beach that night They thought the light had gone out of her eyes and no-one thinks she'll ever be right She was so full of her life Happy with the people she knew But then no-one can tell
Child come away It's the girl with the deputy walking by Child go and play No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
Guess all they found were some marks in the sand A message saying 'She is mine' Nobody touched her as she got in the car Well nobody dares to anytime She was so full of her life The girl that everybody once knew But now no-one can tell
Child come away It's the girl with the deputy walking by Child go and play No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
And when they read a story out to the judge I heard they had to turn away It's all over town
I saw her face in the back of a car As they were speeding out of town She's got a mark on the side of her face that no-one's ever seen around And what she is or what she's become I guess the town will never know
Child come away It's the girl with the deputy walking by Child go and play No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
We were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start
He stepped into the night With his heart open wide I was standing there With nowhere left to hide He looked to me like a shadow Moving in the night Then he took a hold of my hand In the soft moonlight
And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start
I could hear his heartbeat Pounding in the night I could feel his body Starting to be kind With his soft red lips Made up my mind His soothing kiss Was all I desired
And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start
We kissed and touched But it wasn't enough To stop this wheel of fire One step at a time And I knew he was mine We were lost in the heat of desire
And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start
No way No way at all To stop us moving closer Each look in his eyes Made my heart beat in time Over and over and over and over
And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start
And we were dancing Dancing in the dark Sweet romancing Something's gonna start
View from a bridge, can't take anymore View from a bridge, can't take anymore
I guess it all began about a year ago Like a cheap love magazine You know the kind you read about And have to laugh At the pages in between Now I can't believe that fool inside is me 'Cos I just can't face the world I've grown to see
View from a bridge, can't take anymore View from a bridge, can't take anymore
I saw you kissing her I saw you making her In the soft sheets in between But when you turned around I saw your eyes were fire And you crashed out all my dreams
And like a fool I just stood there And let it go I should have fought right back And let my feelings show
View from a bridge, can't take anymore View from a bridge, can't take anymore
You sure as hell knew how To make a fool out of me Well you cut me down For the things you want And now it's killing me
I'll lay it on the line now You're running out of time now
But then a voice said jump And I just let go And I'm floating out in space But then I feel your arms And I turn around To a ghost without a face
And I just don't know What's fact or fantasy 'Cos when I look below the bridge I see it's me
Fresh out of school the young girl lose the sound She's gonna go where the young bands hang around And it's still to right with a voice inside She's screaming, dreaming And there's no disguise when you look in her eyes she's scheming
I'm thinking about the boys She's thinking about the boys Thinking about the boys
There in the dark he starts to touch her hair Others go round but right now you don't care Well you just don't fight when they're holding you tight That feeling, feeling Well it looks to good and he's making it so appealing

Still feeling ground as she goes to make the kill Watching her move the world is standing still Cos its still too right with a voice inside You screaming, dreaming And there's no disguise when you look in their eyes she's scheming

Wow billy what a day Never thought of seeing you here Funny how it goes Never thought I'd see you fall I heard you're down on luck And now I can see it all
Judy took a train Judy took a train to nowhere Weeping on a phone Never to recieve a call So you remember well Now I don't need you at all
You're just another guy With just another lie You're just another guy With just another lie I've been around too long
Hit me like a shot
When he sent your heart to nowhere It really is a shame You shouldn't let your big heart show But then it's no big deal Moving around it I know
You're just another guy With just another lie You're just another guy With just another lie I've been around too long
Gotta say goodbye Gotta catch a train to nowhere I didn't wanna lie I didn't mean to come on strong But then it's no big scene Hanging around...
You're just another guy With just another lie You're just another guy With just another lie
Feel it in the rushing wind Brushing up against your mind Look for a way to go Head for the border sign You could be gone You could be far away Soon you must fly free
And yes Somehow you'll find what you've been missing There was more to life Than visions we had dreamed about
Can you hear it calling you? Can you? Can you hear it calling you? Can you hear it coming through to you? When you hear it calling you It's your freedom
If you are on your own If you have been betrayed Stand by the truth you love Don't let it get mislaid You're not alone And nothing can hold you down Soon you will be free
And yes Somehow you'll find what you've been missing There was more to life Than anything you dreamed about
Can you hear it calling you? Can you? Can you hear it calling you? Can you hear it coming through to you? When you hear it calling you It's your freedom
