I can't wait to say all the things I want to say
You don't help at all, thinking I am just a fool
But one has changed and one remains, going on

Even if it takes a thousand years or more
Even if we cried a thousand tears, I'm sure
We'd still want more and more

I just got your letter baby, too bad you can't come home
I swear I'm going crazy, sitting here all alone
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues

Whoops there goes a tear drop, a-rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace

I ain't slept a wink since Sunday, I can't eat a thing all day

Throw away your old address book
Of the guys you used to know
Get all dressed up in your best look
I'll take you to the movie show

You look lovely when you're angry
But I love the way you smile
We could while away the hours

Throw away your old address book of the guys you used to know
Get all dressed up in your best look, I'll take you to the movie show

You look lovely when you're angry, but I love the way you smile
We could while away the hours, or we could walk another mile

My darling don't you ever change, don't think I'd be quite the same
I thought I was in control, I thought I was in control

There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, right left right
Up down up down up down up down

All right all right
You wind me up, you bring me down
Your reputation is all over the town

all stand up, let me hear you say never say never
all hands up, are you ready for the weekend are you ever
all stand up, let me hear you say never say never
all hands up, let me hear you say we're gonna get together

working all week till friday
wish i could do it my way
until when i'm living it up

When I find myself in trouble and I need someone to lean on
I only have to call and you're right there by my side
When I can't see all the reasons why you have to be so far away
I wonder if your love is really here to stay
And I can't help my feelings and I can't hide my love for you
And I'll always believe in all the things that you want me to

When you're telling me not to worry ''cause you're being there won't be long

Can't believe that I'm standing here alone
How you used me like a stepping stone
I'm getting used to not having you around
Learning to fly now, I'm gaining ground

No way you can bring me down
I'm heading for the good times

When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged

When I was an older baby boy
All the girls I wanted were my joy
I would drink my wine, wouldn't miss a night

I'm back on my feet again I'm flying high
Watching my back again or I could die
When we're up there flying
And it all seems fine
Half the time we're trying
Trying hard what a fool
Saying anything to raze it all
But I'm back on my feet again I'm flying high

I was born in the middle of nowhere
They found me in a sack
I never knew no love or affection
So I never let it held me back
Now the time has moved along
And I'm wiser as I'm older
Well balanced? That I am
I've got a chip on each of my shoulders

Right from the time when we first said hello
Everything's been what it should and even more
I couldn't ask for a much sweeter time

Then when I wake up everytime my head hits the ceiling
Then spinning around round and around my senses are reeling
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, so beautiful to me

Happy days are here again
Its official, from number ten
We're movin' in, we're movin out
All change on the roundabout

Looking good, for the press
Gucci or Prada? Let me guess
The champion is a wonder horse,

Well I feel so good
And I feel so sure
I walk the town
And it brings me down

But I won't give up
And I won't turn back
Oh, I'll hang around

Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say you will be mine and I am yours
You think that you're way above me
I'm telling you that I can see
All those things that you might wanna be
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight

If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree

the tree it moves ,lets me see what I wanna see

a poison gaze´f your mind is all that´s worrying me

( rossi / frost )

You know the story about a woman and a man
In a garden living free
The only danger was a stranger by a tree
Selling apples by the score

Blessed are the meek

Little Blue eyed lady
How come you're all alone
I've been asking
No one seems to know
To whom do you belong
Little Blue eyed lady

The band are really moving

When I get old and find the time
I'll paint a picture about my life
I'll paint it blue for you, I'll paint it blue for you.
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I'm blue for you.

When I was younger I tried so hard

Building dreams has always been my way
Making time and living for the day
Burning bridges never made me cry
I could walk away with no goodbye
Easy take or easy leave them all
'til you scratch the writing on the wall

It's on and off and on again

Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

Well come in to my machine so we can cruise on out
I know a swinging little little joint where we can jump and shout
It's not too far back off the highway, not so long a ride
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her, ma'am

If you want to turn me onto
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love your love

If the night-time is the right time
Anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love sweet love

You messed up all of my plans
You gave zip, took with both hands
You play down whatever I do
I got stuffed dealing with you, oh

You don't hear half what I say
You break off, turning away
I make moves, keeping in tune

I got a brand new baby and I feel so good
She loves me even better than I thought she would
I'm on my way to her house an I'm plumb outta breath
When I see her tonight I'm gonna squeeze her to death

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never make me fret, Claudette

( bown )

All she needs is a little confidence
All she knows is to run and hide
Through a lifetime of knocking back
Oh don't do this you can't do that
But she never learned to interact
All she needs is confidence

I like the way you walk
You got a giggle when you talk
I like the way you talk
You got a wiggle when you walk
Nothing you can do
Sure as one and one is two
I'll be creepin up on you

Oh, oh, oh, oh
The water's getting deep
And I can't swim
Because it's dirty dirty water
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Many's the times I've asked you to say

You spend my money
You drink my best red wine
You think it's funny
To see me all the time
Sitting with my head hanging down
Treating me just like a clown
You spend my money
But come on honey don't waste my time

Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
You don't give a damn

When you are out there on your own
Saying you can't find your way home
Do you think you know what is real?

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing
And you're laughing at me

Heading down the back turnpike, signposts are pointing west
Fell into the lonely dustpipe, hope my pick-up can stand the test
But I'm doing all right now
Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans
Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like new orleans
But I'm doing all right now

Down to you. it's down to you
The way you do, it's like a dream come true
Down to you, it's down to you
We're sailing to the horizon

I never gave myself a chance, I hardly went to school
I smoked away the afternoons, didnt concentrate at all
I never gave a second thought to what was going down

I have been there
I've been seen there
And I keep goin on
Telling anyone
Who'll keep hanging on
That I don't mind at all

Electric Arena

Elizabeth dreams of the day when the way
That I looked at her made her feel she was real
Elizabeth dreams of the time she was mine
When she didn't need any more, she was sure

She was sure
Out of sight, by candlelight
And sea green, and see green horses

End Of The Line
( Patrick / Parfitt )

Call me if you need me, woman
Don't feel you're all alone
You've been away for much too long
It's time that you came home

My eyes can see, my hands can feel
My ears can hear, my eyes can see
They can see everything, everything

A bird that flies, a bird that dies
And who knows why? But with my eyes
I can see everything, everything

I wrote a letter but I threw it away
I can't forget you, that's what I want to say
Anytime or place, just to see your face
Everytime I think of you
You know it makes me sad
That you feel this way 'cos I want you so bad
And it don't seem right that you won't be here tonight
Everytime I think of you

Been down this road so many times
I have with you
This famous list has grown long and overdue
When I found out that you were not too keen on me
I knew this time that it was clear to see

Yeah you love the way you’re living
Take it when I’m giving

Waiting around for a miracle
Looking at me for a clue
I'm moving on, if it's the same to you
Too late for me, too late for you

On and on, changing like the weather
Close your eyes, no surprise is in store
Look me straight in the eye, when you tell me that lie

He showed you no interest, he gave you no love
From time to time he was funny
He loved only two things, but one was enough for him
Was it the fame or the money?

Was it fame or money?
Lethal vice, cold as ice.
Was it fame or money?

( andrew bown )

Famous in the last century
The last century
Famous in the last century

Night and day
Fire and rain

Now I see the light thats shining from your eyes

Even brighter than before

Telling me something now that I believe is true

cos I found the truth with you

There's nobody on the end of my line
I'm in time but somebody's missing
Maybe I can find a hand for my hand
If I find a well for my wishing
Be my friend, be my friend

It gets lonely on a table for two
Laughing on your own can be no fun

I'm not a little boy, I've lived alone and never loved so more
But when she touches me I'm on the way, I'm underneath the floor

Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like in in the sun I melt away

I sit down in a chair and read a book as if I couldn't there

( Rossi / Frost / Macannany )

I'm tired out, my head is aching
I wanna shout, but I feel I'm goin' nowhere
Yeah, I feel I'm goin' nowhere
I've run about in a fit of madness
To work it out in the hope of goin' somewhere
Yeah I hope I'm goin' somewhere

I wake up every morning and that's my first mistake
From thereon in it's downhill all the way
I used to have a problem but now you want to leave
My new problem's getting through the day

Going down for the first time
Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, I can't stay here by myself

Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

From the early early mornin' to the early early night,
When I caught miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue light,
Good golly miss Molly, sure like to ball,
When you're rockin' and a rollin', can't hear your mama call.

Nice to see

Nice to see you, I've been feeling so blue
Owning up now 'cause you change my point of view
It's funny how you do what you do

It's a very good sign, a really good line for you

I'm on the Gravy Train, riding into the night
On the Gravy Train, it's all gonna be alright
Put my last on the spinning wheel
Ship came in, one big deal
I'm on the Gravy Train, let it roll

Gonna live it up, moving to easy street
Yeah live it up, I landed on my feet

Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill a little dream
Give me pennies, I'll take anything
Now listen while I play my green tambourine
Watch the jingle-jangles start to chime
Reflections of the music that was mine
When I toss a coin you'll hear it sing
Now listen while I play my green tambourine

There's a chill in the air but I don't care
I'm out and about tonight
And out on the street ain't no place for me to be
Changing faces in different places
I'm everywhere you are
I'm looking for you, you'd better beware of me

Cause I'm lonely (and it's Halloween)

When you say those words, those three little words
You're in at the deep end
Give up the night times, give up the high times
Give up the weekend
Give up the chance to be your own man
Let the feeling take over
The only way out is to lie if you can
But you don't have the knack

Well the bride looked a picture in the gown that her momma wore
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
They had to change the style a little but it looked just fine
Stayed up all night but they got it finished just in time

Now on the arm of her daddy she's walking down the aisle
And she catches my eye and she gives me a secret smile
Maybe it's too old-fashioned but we were once close friends

I Love Rock And Roll

( Lancaster )

When I'm playing my old guitar
I know what I'm living for
'Cos that's all I wanna do
Keep right on rocking you

I'll never get over you
No, I'll never get over you
I just can't keep it a secret any more, oh no, no

It wasn't so long ago
When you told me you loved me so
Then you went and said goodbye and found another guy-i-i-i

In My Chair (Rossi and Young)

I saw her talking, now
My ears were burning
Her feet started walking, now
They started turning
My eyes were half open
But she didn't see me there

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what
the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed

I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home
It was an invitation asking me to telephone
She said, it's getting lonely here
And I've been gone for close a year
I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home

She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown
With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town

Is there a better way
Is there a better way
Is there a better way ahead
Or just another day

There's got to be a way
To make a better day
I'm gonna find away

what's a boy to do, when fate is cruel?
keep on keepin' on try to bend the rules
i'll do anything to find a way to your heart

i got a rabbit's foot but luck don't come
got my fingers crossed and they go numb,
i can hold my breath and wish for you
i need a miracle to make it true

Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right if it would buy truth for him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed

( bown )

Keep 'em coming
Nose to tail
Keep 'em coming
Love for sale
Alloy spokes, leather trim
Walnut dash looks good on him

Ah well, I've got a woman and I love, love her so
She is big, fat and lazy but I want you all to know
That I love her and I need that woman so
She is my little lady and I'm glad that you all know

When she wakes in the morning and her figure tells no lies
My eyesight is broken when the light shines on her tights
But I love her and I need that woman so

Me and my baby don't do nothing but laze around all day long
Me and my baby don't do nothing but laze around all day long
Yeah, when I'm with my baby
Lazy pokin' going on

She put some coal on the fire so I can keep my poker hot
She put some coal on the fire so I can keep my poker hot
Yeah, when I'm with my baby

When I see you in the morning
As the sky is turning light
Standing there in all your glory
Oh you're looking so right
You move in sunbeams from the shadows
With your never-ending lines
You're standing there so proud before me
How your body always shines

calling out to everyone who wants to know
we're ready for the road, it's nearly time to go
rocking round the world like a band on the run
and i like it i like it yeah we're going to have fun

gonna shout it from the rooftops
gonna play it from the heart
well it's getting to the moment when the lights go down

I WAS TAKING A WALK DOWN LIBERTY LANE TODAY
THINKING HOW THE TIME HAS SLIPPED AWAY

BUT IT’S REALLY NOT SO BAD
YOU DON’T MISS WHAT YOU NEVER HAD
I STILL SING THE SONGS OF YESTERDAY

BUT THAT’S JUST HOW IT GOES

Life
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Life
Na na na na na
Life is life
Na na na na na
Never a half of life

Couldn't see my funny side
As far as I recall and it didn't mean much to me
Carried on messing round and getting lower every day

And then a little while later
Looking for a way to get ahead of all the ups and downs
On the road, back at home, it didn't matter much to me

Isn't it more the way you do it than the way that you look?
Isn't it in the way you use it, not the lessons you took?
Isn't it time you started asking what goes on in your mind?

You won't take no for an answer
Nobody could tell you your place
They'd better not turn round and tell ya
Even if it's straight to your face

You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme, gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever, I couldn't beat the fever

Just listen while I'm talking to you all night long
Right or wrong, listen to me all night long
I'm never gonna waste time crying all night long

Well I saw my little lady
Walking down the street
And I asked her where you going to
Well I saw my little lady
Walking down the street
She said she’d found somebody new
Found myself all alone
Ain’t no fun on your own

I've seen a place in the valley
Pinewood floor and roses round the door
I'll take you there if you'll have me
Maybe we could make it work

We'll hide away from the bad guys
Who say yours true, not good enough for you
I mix a mean tequila sunrise

( Parfitt )

You were not home last night
when I called from the hotel
I tried to get you on the line
or were you there with someone
and you couldn't tell me?
Just say it's true and I'll be fine

Easy when you’re number one
Everybody say you’re having fun
Smiling for the public eye
When your body say you wanna die
Living on an island
Looking at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we’ll get high

When you look at me, tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words or do they go straight through you?

We get it together now and then
But I can feel we won't again
Still I can't stop this endless strain of you

When I was a young boy, nothing much mattered to me
You were a girl and a half and you saw yourself a mystery
We got together for a while, I did every thing you wanted me too
Well I tried and you lied, I was left here back in the blue

If your gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway

Now I'm a sad one, and she was a bad one
A mean, mean girl
I never had one as greedy as that one
A mean, mean girl
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more

Got to keep your nose clean
Got to keep your underwear dry
Rooted to the spot here
Never ever never say die
Ticket's in my passport
Passport's on the bedroom floor
Money's in my sneakers
Sneakers's what I'm looking for

Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
And I asked her, where you going to?
Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
She said she'd found somebody new
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone

Writing songs that I think sound so strange
Writing words that I feel I should change
It's all right if they sound just like other songs
My guitar strums along just the same
If this song's underlined with my name

Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na

Need Your Love
(Rossi/Young)

Part 1.
Vocal - Rossi

I need your love every day
I need your love, need your love every day

The world is in a mess
And finished more or less
It doesn't really matter
And it's maybe too late to change it
It's never too late to change it

Did you take a look?
Any sort of look

Might say yes, might say no
It's like watching the river flow
Might be shallow, may be deep
I won't lose any sleep, no, oh no

Not at all will I take a fall for you
Not at all 'cause you want it all
And you try it on like a sad old song

Fade away

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I'm gonna love you night and day
Love is love and not fade away
Love is love and not fade away

Nothing At All
(Lynes/Young/Lancaster)

There's a man sitting in a concrete room
In a place full of emptiness and gloom
With his head in his hands he's far away
It's a long time ago since yesterday

Fussing and fighting alone with our friends
Holding our breath and hoping it never will end
It's been a long, long haul

We would be ducking and diving, a rise then a fall
Pretending the ups and the downs didn't matter at all
And we got it almost right

( Jackson / Jones )

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

Don't try to take me to a disco

I found myself with no-one I could turn to
The situation went from bad to worse
While I was out there taking care of business
Oh I was moving forward in reverse

I started out with every good intention
I wanted just to get back on my feet
The enemy will soon be gunning

Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky
I closed my eyes to look for something
Saw myself as really nothing
Then I realised my butterfly
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my butterfly

She was sold at the paradise flats
Tell me, what d'you think of that?
No goodbye
Just a pat on the back

Well I know she's made her mind up
That she don't need me around
[unknown] what you're trying to do to me

Take me to another place, a place that I can go
Where nobody looks the same and everybody's slow
Nothing seems to matter, yet somebody seems to care
Even though it's clearer now, there's something in the air
Oh, oh, what can I say?
Oh, oh, what can I say?

Taken lots of sweety things and looked towards the sky

When I look up to the skies
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window

Pictures of matchstick men and you

( bown / edwards )

Is it another day
Is there another way
Nothing at all to say
It's just another day without you
Long way without you
Should I be holding back

It sounds so nice, what you're proposing
Just once or twice, and not disclosing
And not disclosing how we're feeling, really feeling

What you're proposing the other night
As I was leaving, I looked left and right
And not believing
And not believing that I'd finally be leaving

A long time ago I saw you there
Sitting in a corner chair
I was looking for a place to stay
You were only hanging out and hanging around
I didn't see what I was looking for
I guess I never really knew
I was looking for a private eye
You never knew what I was talking about

I was out on the highway
I was out on my feet
I was tired and hungry
I was late for the meet

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons

Restless
Warnes - leosong copyright services

There are words to say but I swear I just can't find them
Though in my heart I know fools
May hesitate from the memories behind them
While the angels laugh and say, I told you so
Oh, I'm restless, darling I'm restless

Ah here we are and here we are and here we go
All aboard and we're hitting the road
Here we go, rockin' all over the world

Ah giddy-up and giddy-up and get away
We're going crazy and we're going today
Here we go, rockin' all over the world

Well, here we are and here we are and here we go.
Water born and we're hittin' the road.
Here we go rockin' all over the world.

A giddy-up, a giddy-up and get away,
we're going crazy and we're going today.
Here we go rockin' all over the world.

Oh here we are and here we are and here we go
All aboard and we're hittin' the road
Here we go
Rockin' all over the world

Well gidy up gidy up and get away
We're goin' crazy and we're goin' today
Here we go

Roll Over Beethoven
[ C. Berry ]

I'm gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local dj
Yeah, it's a rockin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over beethoven, I gotta hear it again today

When I got home that night early one morning
Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door
Taking a drink cool from the fridge from the table
I drank a toast you were the most the night before

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in

I left my home one day
For the sake of better pay
In a foreign land twelve centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps burning down
On the hole drilled in the ground
And I dream of the girl I left behind
Well I signed the dotted line
And I thought in a few years time

Me and my lady love the way you're moving
Me and my lady love
All night long you've got us up and groovin'
Reelin' and rollin' along

Saturday night you made it alright
And everyone liked your reelin' and rollin' along
Me and my lady love the way you're rollin' home

Monday morning, beautiful sunshine
don't want to go to work now
Guess I won't be missed this one time
Nobody's getting hurt now
Telephone call on the red card hotline
I'm never gonna learn how

We go round and round and round and round and over again

Intro: B, G#m, E, F#

B
I'm gonna tell a story and it's sad but true
G#m
About a girl that I once knew
E
She took my love then ran around

Always there, you think I don't matter
Treat me bad, it's gonna get badder
Sad times'll be a whole lot sadder
Changed my mind, now I feel fine

Kissed goodbye to all your flirtin'
Calling time on all your hurtin'
I admit, it just ain't workin'

Safety dance
We can dance if we want to,
We can leave your friends behind
'Cos your friends don't dance,
And if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine.
Say, we can go where we want to,
Places they can never find.

Sail away to the place across the sea
Leave today so you cannot bother me
And you cannot fail to see
That it doesn't really matter much to me
No it doesn't really matter that much to me

Blown away any time I wanted you
Played away so I thought I'd try it too

Baby. baby, I've been watching you

Maybe, lately, you've been watching me too

Save me, save me from myself

Maybe looking at someone else

Mark my words:
Don't forget where you are
Don't forget who's the star
Do you think that I'll go far

Mark my words:
Don't stop if it's wise
I can see through your eyes

Come let me take you, said tiger to the fly
You'll never make me, said fly, I'm rather shy
I'm gonna get you, said tiger with a glare
His eyes were a shining, but fly she was aware

Shy fly keep on smiling, yes, keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling, gonna keep on smiling every day
Shy fly keep on smiling, you're gonna keep on smiling every day

I can't afford a ticket
On an old Dakota airplane
Gotta jump a ride
On a cattle trucking slow train
Guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.

I wrote a rocking song

Soft In The Head
( Rossi / Frost )

Soft in the head, I must be soft in the head
Out of my head, I'm probably out of my head
Things that I said are only things that I said
Soft in the head I must be
Out of my head, I must be out of my head

I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more

Stay in bed
Til' I'm satisfied
And let my head
Take a softer ride

I see you every day
Walking down the avenue
I'd like to get to know you
All I do is smile at you
Oh baby when it comes to talking
My tongue get so tight
This sidewalk love affair
Has got me high as a kite

"Something's Going On In My Head"

Something you're saying now
Disturbing the way I feel
I don't know what you're about
I only know the way that I feel
I'm holding it here in my mind
So please don't be unkind

Everytime I watch you gotta switch you off
You surely can't be serious
Everytime I see you I just can't believe you
Totally ridiculous
All those days I spent staring at your wilderness
All those ways you got to me, threw me
You, you leave me speechless

Well, I spent my money on the spinning wheel last night
Well, I spent my money on the spinning wheel last night
Well, red twenty-seven didn't do me right

Well, I went in smiling but I came out feeling down
Well, I went in smiling but I came out feeling down
Well, now that I'm a poor man, I got no frends around

Looking up to the cloud above my head
Your face concealed by purple mist that feels like lead
It slowly clears and at last my eyes are filled

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel

Feeling blue, missing you
Knowing you're hurting too
I'm needing you, you know I do
What you did you never knew

Looking back up the track
Loving me broke your back
Not a word, not a sound

Come on, now baby don't you want to go
Come on, a-baby don't you want to go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Come on, now baby don't you want to go
Come on, a-baby don't you want to go
Back to the place I love, sweet home Chicago

When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
What a funny day, what a funny world
And then it all just rolls on and on
It's like an echo echoing on

When you look at me what is it you see?

Would someone be so kind
As to tell me where I am
I feel a time and a space
That I really can't explain
There's a long road behind me
But it's hazy up ahead
Maybe I should draw the curtains
Maybe I should get to bed

(Edwards / Rossi)
Her name was Mia
from North Korea
I said, Come over
Bring your Land Rover
I don't like sushi
She said, that suits me
I take a shower

there's a trouble wind blowing through my crazy life
i feel the chill begin, it's gonna be a long long night
i hear the thunder roll, but i dont fear the lightning strike
'cause deep inside i know
i'm gonna make it through alright

so let the walls come tumbling down
bring on the last sunset

I'm the type of guy who never settles down
Where pretty girls are, you'll know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name
They call me the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round

There's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right

Im the type of guy who never settles down
Where pretty girls are, youll know that Im around
I kiss em and I love em cause to me theyre all the same
I hug em and I squeeze em, they dont even know my name

They call me the wanderer, yeah, wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round

I been cheated, been mistreated
Ain't ashamed of whatever I've been
Seen the good times, lived the bad times
Now I'm looking at the shape I'm in
Ain't got no money, ain't got no degree
But I got me somebody, she's taking care of me
And she told me that she wants me
Again and again and again and again and

( rossi / frost )

Living isn't easy, feeling bright and breezy,
Everybody has to try
Seeing and believing, never show the reason why
Even when we grow up, and the body slow up, no no no
We think again but do we understand?

You've finally made it, a winner
for all of the world to see
a long time caught in the winter
is worth all the pain

Nothing comes easy you know-one
can take it away from you
'cos when you're a winner

(RossiFrost)
Throw her a line, she's sinking fast
Show her a sign, don't make her laugh
Don't try putting it on
Show her the time is here at last
And only the past is in the past
Don't try bringing it on

f I find a place to hide
Where I can put those people of my mind
I'm gonna lay my head down hard
And sleep that stops my head from spinning round

Help me with my situation, I just wanna be me
I'm living frustration just to be free, I must be free
I just wanna be left on my own

Heavens above, his mother would say
My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day
He's out of his mind, suspended in time

But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying

"Tongue Tied"

This is the way I feel
I'm feeling tongue tied
This is the way I feel
I'm feeling numb
When you walked by, I knew that I
Would fall in love, love with you

Over and over again
Cheating and lying, she'd been denying the truth again
Change your mind again
I can remember a time when things were better
I couldn't look sadder at all

I used to be told that I did not know
Every time there was trouble I'd run and I'd hide away

How do you do?
Tell me how are you?
Have you been well?
Give my regards to the world
Hand on my heart, I didn't do what they say
Cos I would rather be blind
or lose my mind completely

Babe, you're getting closer
The lights are goin' dim
The sound of your breathin'
Has made the mood I'm in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I've never been before

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choise
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win

When my mind is not live I see you there before me
Every night in my mind your face flies by me
Then the morning light comes to bring reality
But my dream lingers on a little while for me

Then I wake to see a world full of misery
Lots of people rushing by, never know what they want to be

I can see a new expression on my face
I can feel a strange sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Everytime that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend
It's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I see a summer night with a magic moon

A vacation in the foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You`re in the army now
Oh, oh you`re in the army - now

Now you remember what the draft man said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You`re in the army now

It was a teenage wedding
and the old folks wished them well
you could see that Pierre did truly love
the madamoiselle
And now the youn monsieur and madame
have rung the chapel bell
c `est la vie, say the old folks
it goes to show you never can tell

When I see you looking so sad and lonely
And I know you're feeling low
I remember you said I was the only
Your one and only where'd that go

You'll come 'round when you're ready
I'll keep on nice and steady
Don't get down don't you worry

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now

In the Army Now
A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what
the draftman said
