1. ELDORADO OVERTURE

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.


2. CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD

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
'Cause I can't get it out of my head

Breakdown on the shoreline
Can't move, it's an ebbtide
Morning, don't get here tonight
Searching for her silver light

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
'Cause I can't get it out of my head

Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell
And Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don't envy me
Sitting 'til the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps going 'round and 'round

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
'Cause I can't get it out of my head


3. BOY BLUE

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 the streets of your town.

Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.

I've seen bold knights, droppingdown like flies,
I've seen kings, rolling in the mire,
I've seen God, point the finger of doom to our foes.
I have fought in the holiest wars,
I have smashed, some of the holiest jaws
I've been jailed, been impaled, andbeen dragged through the world.
One thing, I have learned through these years,
Is that no man, should be strickenwith fear
It should be that he walks with nocare in the world.
So my friends, who are gathered heretoday,
Hear this clear, for I'll not further say,
That no man, shall cause me to takeup arms again.

Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey Boy Blue is back.


4. LAREDO TORNADO

Summer days, where did you go,
You've let me down so bad,
Clouds fill the sky,
Gone is the dream
My happy hunting ground.
Wild buffalo played and I never saw a rainy day.
But it looks like summer days ain't coming back.

March April May, June and July,
You took me for a fall.
Big chief he lie,
Cold wind blows cool, so cold to make you die.
Mountain breeze, ocean bay and I never saw a rainy day.
But it looks like them summer days ain't coming back.

(Chorus)
Laredo Tornado,
Adios amigos
What can you do, when your dream world is gone.
And your friends and lovers too.

West Winter Street under the ground,
The air that makes you choke,
Towers of concrete, helish go-round,
Were there when I awoke
City sky, pouring down with rain
That can never hope to ease the pain.
And it looks like summer days ain't coming back.

(Chorus...)


5. POORBOY (THE GREENWOOD)

Me I'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland,
And I've traveled many days to reach this place to mke my stand,
I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.

(Chorus)
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the Greenwood

The city boys, and the country boys, they come from miles around,
To defy their king and country, save the poor folks from the hand,
Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the land.

(Chorus)

Sweet Maid marion, don't you do me no wrong,
Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your home,
The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water.

(Chorus)


6. MISTER KINGDOM

Daylight comes to those who live,
But those who die - they never see the sun come.
Shining through their window pane,
They pass away.
Silly girl to be a fool;
You didn't play the golden rule.
'Cause once you're done with one world,
There's another waiting there.

(Chorus)
Help me. Such a lonely soul,
In dreams,
To leave behind the world.
Mr. Kingdom, help me please,
To find the rainbow's end.

Looking from this empty room;
The corridors of endless gloom
Go crawling through the night,
To meet the dawn that's on the way.
Oh, to sleep, perchance to dream,
To live again those joyous scenes.
The laughter, and the follies
That are locked inside my head.

(Chorus 2x)

I can dream of flying high
Above the city's cares,
And never be afraid of anyone,
'Cause there ain't no one there.

(Chorus 3x)


7. NOBODY'S CHILD

Painted lady, stop that closin' in on me,
Painted lady, you're supposed to be a dream,
Painted lady, you better stay away from me.

Painted lady, why you loosinin' my tie,
Painted lady, what's that twinkle in your eye,
Painted lady, you better stay away from me.

Painted lady, with your jewels and your beads,
Painted lady, don't you do these dirty deeds,
Painted lady, you better stay here with me.

Nobody's child til I saw the light of your smile.
Painted lady, nobody's child, you have set me free.

Nobody's child, you came in and stayed for a while.
Painted lady, nobody's child, you have set me free.


8. ILLUSIONS IN G MAJOR

On the seven seas there was aphantom 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.

(Chorus)
But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em,
I just want to please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.

I looked up in the sky there was a phantom plane a comin',
Shinin' in the dead of night,
I heard the pilot saying,
Poems that were written by John Keats and Robert Browning.
But he didn't know the words so,
I suppose that it was nothing.

(Chorus)

Doctor please believe me, I know you won't decieve me,
But do these things I'm seein', have any hidden meaning.
It's all good entertainment and it doesn't cost a penny.
So please doc, let me teach 'em, if I could only reach 'em.

(Chorus)


9. ELDORADO

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.

(Chorus)
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.

(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus)


10. ELDORADO (FINALE)

The dreamer, the unwoken fool,
High on a hill in Eldorado
