DISC 1.
1. SURELY (Edit)
Surely there's a way I could please you
Only in your past lie the tears
Surely there's a day you can say went your way
Some illusion you can keep through the years
Only if I lied could I love you
Nothing of our lives could we share
Only could we try to get by on a sigh
Just because, just this once, I was there
2. YOUR POPPA DON'T MIND
Give it a word, give it a try
Why don't you sleep out, stop living high
You're on your own, your making bed
Now time for wasting, just look ahead
Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He's got a reputation and he don't know fad
Your poppa don't mind at all
He's getting old, he's getting late
It's soon tomorrow, so celebrate
Bring it out, and go to town
Before you're thinking, sell him now?
Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
Find him out, he's half a fun
When you find out, don't try to run
If you know, then you'll be gone
And if you don't know, it's still to come
Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He talked about his women and his old school tie
Your poppa don't mind at all
You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
3. LAND HO (Single Version/Remix)
Dreaming nothing to do
Dreaming nothing to say
Can i say there’s nothing to dream about
Or something keep us moving away?
I said land ho, will i be sailing forever?
Oh-oh i need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will i be dreaming forever?
Oh-oh i gotta find an anchor for my soul
Wind is all far i can see
When i’m feeling to strife
For days something that’s calling me
Oh, something that’s so hard to find
I said land ho, will i be sailing forever?
Oh-oh i guess i feel my ship is getting old
Land ho, will i be dreaming forever?
Oh-oh i gotta find an anchor for my soul
I said, when you're alone there's not a sail in sight
There’s a grey lit sky and you may just try to take your life
There once was a lady made me feel alright
But she couldn't stay, oh, she just sailed away
Now there's only waves to see me through the night
Maybe i'll always be sad
And maybe there'll always be strife
Drifting alone with a saddened tone
Afloat in the ocean of life
I said land ho, you’re sailing ship on forever?
Oh-oh i need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will i be searching forever?
Oh-oh, i gotta find an anchor for my soul
Will i be sealing forever?
Will i be dreaming forever?
Will i be searching forever?
Forever, forever, forever...
4. SUMMER ROMANCE (Single Version)
In the middle of our summer romance
He walked up to her and he asked her to dance
I could see the old love light in her eyes
(See the love light in her eyes)
It took a while to say
How's your new love babe
My heart was beating with a rage like thunder
And when I saw him I began to wonder
I could see the old love light in his eyes
(See the love light in his eyes)
It took a while to say
How's your new love babe
Well in the middle of our summer romance
He walked up to her and he said, please give me another chance
I could see the old love light in her eyes
(See the love light in her eyes)
It took a while to say
How's your new love babe (yes it did)
Took a while to say how's your new love babe
Ah yeah, took a while to say how's your new love babe
5. SCHOOL
I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books,
You know you've got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good,
Well don't you know he never shirks
He's coming along..
After School is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out
- And you're full of doubt
Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do?
- Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticise, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come out and put your eyes
Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
Want to see that
Want to see that way
you're coming along..
6. BLOODY WELL RIGHT
So you think your schooling's phony
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Ha-ha you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway!
Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry, no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right, quite right, you're bloody well right
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
7. DREAMER
Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, what a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do
Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.
Well work it out someday
If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything
Well can you do something out of this world?
Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along
Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
Oh no!
8. RUDY
Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't want to get there, but he needs time
He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time.
He needs time - he needs time for livin',
He needs time - for someone just to see him.
He ain't haid no lovin'
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole world's above him.
Well it's not as though he's fat-
No there's more to this than that-
See he tries to play it cool-
Wouldn't be nobody fool.
Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait
But recently he could see that it may come too late.
All through your life, all through the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared.
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears
How can you live without love, it's not fair?
Someone said give but I just didn't dare.
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
Hearing's alright for them that's all there
You'd better gain control now
You'd better show'em all now
You'd better make or break now
You'd better give and take now
You'll have to push and shove now
You'll have to find some love now
You'd better gain control now.
Now he's just come out the movie.
Numb of all the pain,
Sad but in a while he'll soon be
Back on his train...
9. CRIME OF THE CENTURY
Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
Rip off the masks and let see.
But that's no right - oh no, what's the story?
There's you and there's me
That can't be right.
10. SISTER MOONSHINE
Ooo-when I was a small boy,
Well, I could see the magic in a day,
But, now I'm just a poor boy,
Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay,
If you lock your dreams away
If no-one wants to listen.
What's the story,
I wish I'd been a minstrel,
Just think of all the maidens I could call,
Oh-I wish I'd been a gypsy,
Then maybe I could read the crystal ball,
'Cause surrounded by these walls,
Just makes me feel uneasy.
I said hey, Sister Moonshine
Won't you send me a little sun
I said hey, Sister moonshine
Who's a stranger to everyone.
So, -MAKE US ALL LAUGH-
Make us all cry
-MAKE US ALL GIVE-
Make us all try
Give us a secret, show us the light,
Well, strike up the music, light up the sky.
Mmm-If I was a lion,
Well, I could be the king off all the plains,
Mmm-If is was an eagle,
Well, maybe I could fly above the rains,
Oh, fly above the pain
But, I know I'm only foolin'
I said hey, Sister Moonshine,
Won't you send me a little sun,
I said hey, Sister Moonshine,
Who's a stranger to everyone.
So, -MAKE US ALL LAUGH-
Make us all cry,
-MAKE US ALL GIVE-
Make us all cry,
I said hey, Sister Moonshine
I said hey, Sister Moonshine,
I said hey, said hey
I said hey, I said hey Sister Moonshine.
11. AIN'T NOBODY BUT ME
Let me tell you a story that'll make a change,
Let me tell you when I'm way out of range;
It's about a man who's crueler than me,
So promise not to cause a scene,
Heaven help the one's you love,
There's no big need for stars above
Well, you can run, you, know he'll find you,
It don't matter now, just look behind you,
You had your warn, and you knew the score,
You got it wrong, and that means war;
So, why'd you have to treat me rough,
Your explanation's not enough.
Ain't nobody but me,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you;
Ain't no fish in the sea,
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you,
Wooh
You see, I got a mental disposition,
Sometimes, I'm mean, sometimes I'm vicious;
I'm dr. jekyll, I'm mr. hyde,
So if you want to stay alive,
Just give me all you've got to give,
And, then perhaps I'll let you live.
Ain't nobody but me,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you,
Ain't no fish in the sea,
Goin' sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Goin' lie for you, gonna die for you;
Goin' sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Goin' lie for you, gonna die for you.-
(Hush) now baby, stop your crying,
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying,
(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) now baby, stop your crying
(Oh yes) I know that I've been lying
12. LADY
Lady, you come across the water,
Well don't you think you oughta?
Be waiting a while,
Are you acting, on what your heart has told you,
Is nothing gonna' hold you, from flying away, a-ha
Flying away a-ha, flying away.
'Cause there's nowhere to go,
Though the road is out stretching before you,
And the farther you go,
I said,
-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
I said,
-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us,
And you like what you feel, but
-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
-Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, oh-no
Oh-la-la-la-la (4x) Arrgh (3x)
Mister, you better get a move on
You better get a fix on,
Mmm-you better walk straight.
I said Lady, oh just take me if you want me, oh,
Take me as you find me,
Oh, I'm needing your love so bad (3x)
And there's nowhere to go,
Though the road is out stretching before you,
And the farther you go,
I said,
-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
I said,
-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us, and,
You like what you feel, but,
-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
But,
-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, sad, sad, sad.
(Takin' the long way, and no turning back)
13. TWO OF US
Look at me I'm a speck of sand,
And I'm building ,dreams in a strangers land
Tell me why do I care
Tell me why do I care.
Every time that I'm feeling down, oh they,
Pick me up and they spin me round.
Tell me where do we go,
Tell me where do we go from here.
What are we gonna find out (find out)
What are we gonna find out (find out)
Leave the wilderness, and as long as there's dreams,
Just as long as there's two of us,
Just as long as there's two of us, I'll carry on
Won't you hold me
When is man gonna find out (find out)
When are we gonna find out (find out)
What the universe is just waiting to here,
Just as long as there's two of us
Just as long as there's two of us
Just as long as there's two of us,
We'll carry on.
14. GIVE A LITTLE BIT
In time this fire will turn to ashes
The sun will fall out the sky
Still you see no urgency
To spend some time with me
Time with me
I can't believe you haven't noticed
Just how long I've been waitin' for you
I've been such a patient man
But I still don't understand
You won't
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
How I care
It's hard to know just what you're thinkin'
You cloak yourself in mistery
Conversations always brief
Like a sigh with no relief
You won't
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
if you dare
You gotta give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance
15. DOWNSTREAM
Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea
It just felt so nice, you and me
We didn't have a problem or a care
And all around was silence, everywhere
You are the reason I was born
Be with you through all seasons
I'll always hear you when you call
We'll keep the love light shining
Through each night and day
A lonely life behind me
Oh what a change you've made
So down here on the ocean we will stay
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday
To know you as I know you now
That is all I need
And we will get along somehow
If we both believe
So down here on the ocean we will stay
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday
16. EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS
Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew what I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well I feel the rain, here it comes again, dear
And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For there's a shadow of doubt that's not letting me find you too soon
The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Oh Lord, I want to be with you.
Won't you let me come in from the cold?
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun be leaving
Won't you come to me soon
And even though the stars are listening
And the ocean's deep, I just go to sleep
And then I create a silent movie
You become the star, is that what you are, dear?
Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling I'm nature's own little boy
But still the tears keep falling
They're raining from the sky
Well there's a lot of me got to go under before I get high
Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun be leaving
No, you can't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord, don't go
And even when the song is over
Where have I been, was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin, may I please come in, dear?
17. FROM NOW ON
Monday has come around again
I'm in the same old place
With the same old faces always watching me
Who knows how long I'll have to stay
Could be a hundred years
Of sweat and tears
At the rate that I get paid
Sometimes I slowly drift away
From all the dull routine
That's with me every day
A fantasy will come to me
Diamonds are what I really need
Think I'll rob a store, escape the law
And live in Italy
Lately my luck has been so bad
You know the roulette wheel's
A crooked deal
I'm losing all I had
Soon be like a man that's on the run
And live from day to day
Never needing anyone
Play hide and seek
Throughout the week
My life is full of romance
Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
That's the way it's got to be
From now on
You think I'm crazy I can see
It's you for you, and me for me
Living in a fantasy
From now on
DISC 2.
1. GONE HOLLYWOOD
It's just heartbreaking
I should have known that it would let me down
It's just a mind aching
I used to dream about this town
It was a sight to see, the place to be
Where the living is easy
And the kicks can always be found
It's such a shame about it
I used to think that it would feel so good
But who's to blame about it
So many creeps in hollywood
I'm in this dumb motel near the Taco Bell
Without a hope in hell, I can't believe that I'm still around
Ain't nothing new in my life today
Ain't nothing true it's all gone away
I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief
I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief
I'm tired of talking on the telephone
They're trying to tell me that they're not at home
Ain't nothing new in my life today
I'm tired of walking from place to place
I've yet to come across a friendly face
And now the words sound familiar, as them slam the door
'You're not what we're looking for!
Ain't nothing new in my life today
Ain't nothing true it's all gone away
If we only had time, only had time for you
If we only had time, only had time for you
If we only had time, only had time for you
It was a heartbreaking
Now I ride in the big fine car
It was mind aching
I'm the talk of the boulevard
So keep your chin up boy, forget the pain
I know you'll make it if you try again
There's no use in quitting
When the world is waiting for you
2. THE LOGICAL SONG
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
3. GOODBYE STRANGER
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on
Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth
Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well
You can laugh at my behavior
That'll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I don't pay no heed
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc...
4. BREAKFAST IN AMERICA
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have ´em in Texas
'Cause everyone¨s a millionaire
I´m a winner, I´m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I´m a loser what a joker
I´m playing my jokes upon you
While there´s nothing better to do
Don´t you look at my girlfriend
She´s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do
5. OH DARLING
Oh darling, will you ever change your mind
I've been feeling left behind
Like a shadow in your light
Like a shadow in your light, in your light
Ah honey won't you say that I'm the one
And if you think you're gonna run
Well you know

Always by your side

6. TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME
So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.
When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home
You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home
And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
Oh unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
Oh, calamity, is there no way out?
Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow , boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what you might have been,
If you'd had more time.
So, when the day comes to settle down,
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home...
7. YOU STARTED LAUGHING (Live)
When you're in heaven
What you gonna do?
You're gonna sit around a cloud and say
"Heay what a lovely view"
Is there a reason
Why you're like you are?
Is there a reason you'll be leaving?
Is my love out of season?
I wouldn't mind but to me that is Treason
You started laughing
When I held you in my arms
You started leaving
When I told you of my charms
I was in love with you
And then you said we're through
And then I asid boo hoo
Was my tie not on straight?
Was it something I ate?
8. IT'S RAINING AGAIN
It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
And you know it's hard to pretend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Oh will my heart ever mend.
Oh no, it's raining again
You're old enough some people say
To read the signs and walk away
It's only time that heals the pain
And makes the sun come out again
It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
C'mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C'mon you little fighter
And get back up again
Oh get back up again
Fill your heart again...
9. MY KIND OF LADY
Let me tell you what I want to say
You're the only one who can make me feel this way
My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace
No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along and then you mend my broken dreams
I was so down and then as foolish as it seems
You gave me your affection
Yeah baby you came through
We'll make it you'll see
In spite of those who say it's wrong
This time we feel that we belong
Now we can truly say
We'll be together and that's all we'll ever need
We'll love each other, that's the way it's gonna be
And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my honey
You know I'll love you every day
When things go wrong we'll find a way
I'm so glad I met you
Much more than I can ever say
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore
I've been wastin' my life away
I've got a message for you today
To tell you that you are
My kind of lady
I'm not the same since I met you
All of my dreams had fallen through
And then you came along
One magic night when things went right it was so fine
Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine
And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my baby
You know I'll love you all the way
When times get hard we'll smile and say
I'm so glad I met youI'll love you more and more each day
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore
10. DON'T LEAVE ME NOW
Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
And the shadows start to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I'm old and cold and grey and time is gone...
11. CANNONBALL
You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize
Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused
You let me down, with all your runnin' round
Still you pretend and try to call me friend
Don't say a word, I know just what I heard
Yeah you've been loose, you just got no excuse
Just feel my rage, why can't you come of age?
I felt it all, just like a cannonball
Then you got mad, you said that I'm all bad
So what's the use, you lied and that's the truth
You took the key and drove right out on me
I never knew put all my trust in you
OK that's it, I'm leaving now, I quit
I was unwise, so don't apologize
I paid the price, for taking your advice
I felt it all, just like a cannonball
You can say what you want all day
But I've never been so outraged
I'm washing my hands of you
How could you be so untrue
You know I can't stand no more
You know I can't stand no more
12. FREE AS A BIRD
When a spirit is broken
Why go on
When there's nothing to say
And a love just a token
It was strong
Now it's fading away
Ah but I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
And our love it was over
Long ago
But we just didn't say
And the years they have fallen
One by one
How they drifted away
But now I'm free as a bird
As I walk out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm feeling OK
As I face the brand new day
As I face the brand new day
You know I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
As I face the lonely night
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more heartaches bother me
Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve
It's gonna be a brand new story
What's the use of former glory
It's better not to do if you can't do right
It's time to get to celebrating
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night
13. YOU WIN, I LOSE
You win, I lose
I beg, you choose
You're so cool and I'm confused
I'm me and you're you
You're so loose and I'm uptight
You're day, I'm night
Like two ships in the night in foggy weather,
Just a waitin' for fresh winds to blow.
Maybe we're losin' one another
I could be wrong I don't know
You get the best, I get the rest
You pass the test, I'm just a mess
You got it made, I'm in the shade
Like two ships in the night ...
Like two dopes in the boat, without a paddle
Just a wonderin' why it don't go
We could be losin' one another
I could be wrong I don't know
I know you're tryin' to phase me
It's gonna drive me crazy
I can't wait for the day when
I win, You lose
You beg and I choose
You're in the shade, I'm on parade
Like two ships in the night ...
14. ANOTHER MAN'S WOMAN (Live)
If theres no way of knowing wheres the answer,
You should know if you need me by now, tell me how.
You saw me in the first place,
Who dyou think I am
How can you be so two-faced
And tell me where I stand
Yeah, weve been here once before,
I see you by the door,
You said you knew and all were calling,
Yeah, you know you just cant lose,
All you have to do is choose, let me in on where your heart is.
(Chorus)
You aint nothing but another mans woman,
Living on another mans land;
At night I hear a hound dog callin,
A callin me a cheatin man.
I tell you somethin, I need good lovin, but you dont understand,
At night I see you cannonball comin
To blow me to the promised land.
If theres no-way of showing where your love lies,
Is it me? , is it him? , or no-one;
What will be done?
About the mess you made me,
Oh dont you give a damn,
Youre gonna drive me crazy,
Its more than I can stand,
round and round we always go
First its yes and then its no,
Oh whatever keeps me sane?
Im so helpless, cant you see?
Did you cast a spell on me,
Say you love me please, Im praying
(Chorus)
15. OVER YOU
Trouble is my calling card, that?s my middle name
Ever since you walked away, things are not the same
Now my life is misery, don?t know what to do
Yes your gone, your history, but I can?t get over you
Used to be in Shang-Gri-La, life used to be so good
You and me were going so far and that was understood
But ever since you walked away, my world has turned so blue
So now I live from day to day ?cos I can?t get over you
Give our love another chance, you could make it so
Just how this could go so wrong, I will never know
Well I want you right next to me and that?s all I can say
And I?ve been calling ever since you drove me away
You were on my mind so long, it?s hard for me to take
Now my heart is not so strong and it might break over you
You can wear a wig and some elevator shoes
Make yourself twice as big, but I?m still coming after you
