- 99 Miles From L.A.
Keeping my eyes on the road, I see you.
Keeping my hands on the wheel, I hold you.
99 Miles From L.A., I kiss you, I miss you, please be there.
Passing the white sandy beach, we're sailing.
Turning the radio on, we're dancing.
99 Miles From L.A., I want you, I need you, please be there.
The windshield is covered with rain, I'm cryin'.
Pressing my foot on the gas, I'm flyin'.
- A Heart In New York
New York, to that tall skyline I come, flyin' in from London to your door
New York, lookin' down on Central Park
Where they say you should not wander after dark
New York, like a scene from all those movies
But you're real enough to me, but there's a heart
A heart that lives in New York
A heart in New York, a rose on the street
I write my song to that city heartbeat
- A Poem On The Underground Wall
The last train is nearly due,
The underground is closing soon,
And in the dark deserted station,
Restless in anticipation,
A man waits in the shadows.
His restless eyes leap and scratch,
At all that they can touch or catch,
- All I Know
I bruise you, you bruise me
We both bruise too easily, too easily to let it show
I love you and that's all I know .
All my plans have fallin' through,
All my plans depend on you, depend on you to help them grow,
I love you and that's all I know.
- Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle,
- As Long As The Moon Can keep on shining
I must have known that it existed but I couldn't quite conceive it,
I was always the loser in affairs of the heart,
Well, you know how when you find something that you want, you don't believe it,
No you can't quite believe it when the good times start.
I used to think of love as just a dream that dissapears,
But you've taught me more tonight than I have learned in all those years.
- Break Away
(1975)
(B. Gallagher, G. Lyle)
I watch the distant lights along the runway
disappear into the evening sky.
Oh you know I'm with you on your journey,
never could say goodbye.
It's not the sun you're trying to find
- Bright Eyes
Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky,
And nobody seems to know where you go,
- Crying in my sleep
I took a walk around the yard
Dug the flowers til it got too hard
I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today
And I watched the children play
And then I went down, down to Lucy's old Cafe
Put a half a case away
I took a sleeping pill and tried to watch TV
- Daydream
What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for takin' a
walk outside
- Easy Living
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you
I'll never regret the things I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever I do for you
- Hang On In
Norma Sallitt)
Well the rain's fallin' down around you,
So you cry yourself to sleep.
I know love hurts when one doesn't love as deep.
You're feelin' lost and empty,
'Cause you gave yourself away.
But don't be ashamed to cry,
It's okay.

She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
She whistles night an' noon
- Let's Fall In Love

Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it

Joyful and triumphant,

Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
- Scarborough Fair
Are you goin to scarborough fair parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework, then shell be a true love of mine
Tell her to find me an acre of land, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand, then shell be a true love of mine
- She Moved Through The Fair
My young love said to me:
"My father won't mind
And my mother won't cite you
For your lack of kind."
Then she drew closer to me
And this she did say:
"It will not be long, long, love
'Till our wedding day."
- Someone To Watch Over Me
"Someone to Watch Over Me"
(George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin)
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
- The Same Old Tears On A New Background
(Stephen Bishop)
It's The Same Old Tears On A New Background,
Seeing you as a fading photograph
It hurts too much to laugh these days.
I'm all right, yes, I'm all right, all right.
It's the same old song with a new melody,
But this old candle's lingering flame is almost gone,

"Traveling Boy"
(P. Williams, R. Nichols)

Alone, once more alone,
This travelin' boy was only passing through,
But he will always think of you.
One night of love beside a strange young smile,
- Why Worry
(Knopfler)
Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
