1. ALRIGHT
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.
(Chorus)
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 goin' on.
(Chorus)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
(Background) Alright ... alright ... alright
No use thinkin' about what you ain't got,
Just makes you bitter.
And as you speak, everything that you say
Goes out on the big transmitter.
(Chorus 2x)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright...
2. MOMENT IN PARADISE
Oh, yeah
She never cried, she only tried
To fly beyond her dreams
No walls around her mind
Deep inside she'd try to hide
That she was way beyond her means
No borders and no lines
(Chorus)
She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
She floated out upon the wind
That blew my thoughts into the night
She knew the things she had to know
She drifted high above my mind
Blew my brains out, did alright
I think she knew it all along
(Chorus)
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
(Chorus)
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
3. STATE OF MIND
I was goin' round the world
I was lookin' for somewhere
I was searchin' for someone
Who was gonna take me there
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
Your're Really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
I was thinkin' of the past
I was tryin' to rack my brain
I was looking at the future, looking at the future
I was tryin' to play the game
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
Sometimes you get lost
Sometimes you get found
In a state of mind
Sometimes you're too high
Sometimes you're too down
It's just a state of mind
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
Sometimes you get lost
Sometimes you get found
In a state of mind
Sometimes you're too high
Sometimes you're too down
It's just a state of mind
You think you know it all
Then you think that you know nothing
Can't dance, can't crawl, crawl
Maybe you better forget it
Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
Didn't want to it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
Didn't want to it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah
State of mind
It's a state of mind
State of mind
State of mind
State of mind
State of mind
4. JUST FOR LOVE
Falling through the endless sky
The signals dance upon the twilight
Calling out to reach someone
Who waits there in the lonely night
Just for love
Just for love
Soon beyond the melting clouds
The light will shine on everyone
That waits there in the silver rain
To meet the golden sun
Just for love
Just for love
Just for love
Just for love
I came a long way 'cross the water
Came a long way to get here
Round and round in great big circles tryin' to ease my fear
Out in all the mysteries and distant new tomorrows
There goes another one don't know which way the wind blows
Just for love
Just for love
Just for love
Just for love
Love ... we're gonna get it right
Just for love
We're gonna get it together
We're gonna get it right
Just for love
We're gonna get it together
We're gonna get it right
5. STRANGER ON A QUIET STREET
When all the thrills have been forgotten
The chill of night can call them home
And all the dreams that you left stranded
Will slowly start to come along
I felt it as she slipped away, slipped away
I didn't have the words to say
When I saw the stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
You can go straight as an arrow
You can go straight as you dare
Walkin' the old straight and narrow
Don't always get you there
The sun was shining when I saw it all
She was moving to a different beat
When I met a stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
It came to me out of the blue, out of the blue
There came the moment that I really knew
When I met a stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street, on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
6. IN MY OWN TIME
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
7. EASY MONEY
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
8. IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER
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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
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
9. ORDINARY DREAM
I couldn't really understand at all
The writing on the wall
From you to me
A jigsaw puzzle of a twisted tale
That set its lonely sail
From you to me
'Cause I tried to get the message
But it's not understood
Wide apart and so far away
It mattered at the start until I realized instead ....
I'm flying in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream
I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream
I couldn't understand a word it said
The letter that I read
From you to me
I couldn't fathom out the stuff you wrote
So I guess it's just a joke
From you to me
Though reality keeps calling me away from my dream
And the wreckage isn't all it might have been
Didn't matter at the start until I realized it did
I'm flying in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream
I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream
I'm floating in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream
I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream
Ordinary dream
Ordinary dream
10. A LONG TIME GONE
Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still you're not there
You're a long time gone
Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're 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
You're 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
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will
You're a long time gone
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
You're a long time gone
Do I wonder why
You're a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
You're a long time gone
11. MELTING IN THE SUN
There's no way out and there's no way back
Sailing forever out along your path
Some troubles dare to lose you sleep
I started thinkin' that I'm in too deep
The wheels of life will stretch your face
Squeeze you flat without a trace
But when I was in trouble I never heard you speak
I got the message that I'm in too deep
(Chorus)
Blows my mind
Melting in the sun, sun
Starts to shine, shine
Then suddenly it's gone
Melting in the sun
Stayed up and wondered what was goin' on
Shifted and pissed up and silent and gone
Reasons for promises that no one could keep
I got the picture and I'm in too deep
(Chorus)
There's no way out, the only way is in
Don't matter who you are
Don't matter where you've been
You can buy your freedom
But it don't come cheap
No doubt about it, now I'm in too deep
(Chorus)
Yeah
Suddenly it's gone
Melting in the sun
Suddenly it's gone
Melting in the sun
12. ALL SHE WANTED
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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
A loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
(Chorus)
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
13. LONESOME LULLABY
I listened to the whine for way too long
Time for me to hear a different song
I waited overtime for things to turn around
Tired of waiting for it all to hit the ground
You said you knew all about it
What was right and what was wrong
You pulled the wool over the eyes of everyone
Maybe I was weak when I should've been strong
(Chorus)
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
You took me by surprise and like a shot in the dark, shot in the dark
You showed yourself in your truest light, truest light
You saved yourself by saving nobody else
You must have cringed when you heard them tell
(Chorus)
You took the wrong turn at the city of dreams, city of dreams
You ended up back where you came from it seems, came from it seems
Back there to where there's nothing else to do
Back there where you can sit and think of only you
(Chorus )
Cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Your lonesome lullaby
