1. GATE / INVITED

You don't even know, where I've been or where I'm coming from, at all
Who was the one who said nothing's impossible, who was wrong
Who was the one to even say at all, anything is possible

You ask me where I'm going, I don't even know myself
I couldn't say 'cos it's undecided on which way I should go
I don't know!

I've been invited but I just can't make it
Got too excited and I just can't take it
My fuel ignited, got too exited
I've been invited but I just can't take it no more

How am I to show, what I'm feeling deep down in my heart, in my soul
No other way but by a miracle - anything's not possible

I don't know where I'm goin', you don't even know yourself
You couldn't say 'cos it's undecided on which way you should go
Do you know?

I've been invited but I just can't make it
Got too excited and I just can't take it
My fuel ignited, got too exited, I took the message celebrating again

I guess it must have been at least an hour or more
I must've had myself some powerful thoughts

I've been invited but I just can't make it
Got too excited and I just can't take anymore

I've been invited but I just can't make it
Got too excited and I just can't take it
My fuel ignited, got too exited
I've been invited but I just can't make it - at all


2. SOLUTION

Down to the wire, on the end of the road
Down to the wire, and the kids don't know
Mother Nature's on her knees, and we're the reason of her disease
Hangin' off the ceiling, climbing up the walls
Crawling on my hands and knees to make it through it all

Now we can change or stay the same, one's the answer and the next to blame
Solution is a world of change

If we're gonna make it through tomorrow

Down in the dirt and fallin' out on the street
Crossin' the line myself [to make it to me]
Mother Nature's still on her knees, and we're the reason of her disease
Hangin' off the ceiling, climbing up the walls
Crawling on my hands and knees to make it through it all

Now we can change or stay the same, one's the answer and the next insane
Solution is a world of change

If we're gonna make it through tomorrow
The solution is to make a change today, oh yeah

Make it, I said make it!

Down to the wire, on the end of the road
Down to the wire, all the kids don't know
Mother Nature's down on her knees, and we're the reason of her disease
Hangin' off the ceiling, climbing up the walls
Crawling on my hands and knees, just to make it, just to make it

Now we can change or stay the same, one's the answer and the next to blame
Solution is a world of change

If we're gonna make it through tomorrow
The solution is to make a change today, okay

If we ever make it, now will we ever make it
Through tomorrow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Through tomorrow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow - ah!


3. SHINE AWAY

All is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever be

All is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever, it could ask for

Me, I told myself that I'd get better, and I knew I would
But I said that a thousand times
Said the same in the letters that I wrote to you
Guess you thought it's that same old line

Ooh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why
Told myself I'd get over it and over you, never will till the day I die

This won't take long, shouldn't take but a minute
I got you right here in my heart
It's only human, it's only natural, it's love or animal
There you are, so far away, but instead I got it right here in my face

Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way, don't you shine my way

Now that it's over, I ask myself the reason why
That [was in the time with you on my mind]
Told myself I'd forget about, forget you
Now it's changed it don't feel so right

Ooh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why
Love you so and always will, love to love you even still
Now there you are, so far away, all the while I got it right here in my face

Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way
Shine away, shine away, I got somebody sittin' home, waitin' for me yeah
Shine away, shine away, you make it hard for somebody
Who don't want to play, and I want to play

I told myself that I'd get better, and I knew I would
But I said that ten thousand times
Said the same [if time don't make that call for you]
Guess you thought it's that same old line

This won't take long, shouldn't take but a minute
I got you right here in my heart
It's only human, it's only natural, it's love or animal
Now there you are, so far away, all the while I got it right here in my face

Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way
Shine away, shine away, I got somebody sittin' home and waitin' for me
Shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away

Shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away


4. TRY SO HARD

Oh time, when it goes on and on and on again
Like a drop in the rain, like a snowflake in the sun
Fallin' out of the sky on everyone
You and me, everybody, everyone, everybody you see
We travelled so long, seemed like forever
Never mattered just as long as we're together
I've travelled alone, you know it gets so, oh, oh no

The next time, and it goes on and on and over again
Like a drop in the rain, like a snowflake in the sun
Fallin' out of the sky on everyone
You and me, everybody, everyone, everybody you see
You know I've said it before
You're the only one that could make me feel better
I'm lonely, out here on my own

Try so hard - I try so hard to believe
Try so hard - do you believe in me
Try so hard - you know I try so hard, try some more, feelin' is believin'

Try so hard - I try so hard to believe
Try so hard - do you believe in me
Try so hard - you know I try so hard, try some more, feelin' is believin'

Now I've travelled so far, but not forever
Doesn't matter 'cos I know we'll be together
I'm singin' this song till I see you again

Try so hard - I try so hard to believe
Try so hard - do you believe in me
Try so hard - you know I try so hard, try some more, feelin' is believin'

Try so hard - I try so hard to believe
Try so hard - do you believe in me
Try so hard - you know I try so hard, try some more, feelin' is believin'

Try so hard - yes seein' is believin'
Try so hard - but feelin' is believin'
Try so hard - seein' is believin', feelin' is believin'
Try so hard - again
Try so hard - seein', seein' and feelin' is believin'
Try to hard - yeah, I try so hard, try to believe in you


5. SHE WANT SHE WANT

Yeah! Hot damn, shit

She want money, she want car, she want jewelry
Wants it all, still want more, yeah she want everything
What next? Request a cheque? And I said shit man, to pay her credit card
Got nowhere to get, that's why she won't be gettin' far

I guess I got off lucky, I guess I got off cheap
I guess I got too goddamn tall and the hill it got too steep
The way I got to see it is the way it's got to be
I won't forget, never will regret, the day that she left me

She want she want - man, she took the best of me
She want she want - don't stand next to me
She want all, yeah she want all
She want she want - gave you the best of me
She want she want - couldn't mean less to me
She want all, you bet she want all - she want

Thought I knew what love was for, oh what did I know
Next thing and she was out the door, but I guess that's much better than
Dead on the floor
I was cruisin' down the lover's lane, called and said she cruised the avenue

I guess I got off easy, I guess I got off cheap
I guess I got too goddamn tall and she wasn't worth the keep
The way I got to see it is the way it's got to be
I won't forget, never will regret, the day she chose to leave

She want she want - makes such a mess of things
She want she want - still want everything
She want all, you bet she want all
She want she want - she want anything
She want she want - anything and everything
She want all, what does she want, she want, she want, she want all

What I needed was something new, that's what I really want
Hot damn, look at her, yeah she look at you, yeah she was really hot
I said, "Baby, you're everything I want", and she said
"You are everything that I want, too" - so the story goes

I guess I got off lucky, I guess I got off cheap
I guess I got too goddamn tall, wonder what you want of me
The way I got to see it is the way it's got to be
I won't forget, never will regret, the day you set me free

She want she want - don't mean a thing to me
She want she want - now she set me free
She want all, yeah she want all
She want she want - she can't bring me down
She want she want - don't let her come around
She want all, what does she want, she want, she want, she want all


6. NEED YOUR LOVIN'

I'll be lovin' you come morning, day to day, dust to dawn
Feelin' you're the reason I won't be leavin' so
Love you in the evening, supper time and afternoon
Your days of happiness beside the month of June

Ooh, don't want my yesterday, to wake me up, slap me in the face
Ooh, don't let my yesterday, wrap you up and carry you away
Ooh I need your lovin', without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing

January, and in March, February, June
Any day beside of that couldn't be too soon
My life without you babe is a heart that's torn
Season of love for you, storm without a warn

Ooh, didn't want my yesterday, woke me right up, and slapped me in the face
Ooh, you let my yesterday, wrap you right up and carry you away
Ooh I need your lovin', without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing

Took all my yesterdays of sorrow, and threw them all away
Took all that I could take, or could borrow
'Cos today's yesterday, today is yesterday's tomorrow - whoa!

Ooh, go away my yesterday, can't take that much, I'll look it in the face
Ooh, wish all my yesterdays, would've packed it up and carried it away
Ooh I need your lovin', 'cos without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing - whoa!

Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah, it's your love or nothing
Ooh, all I've got to say it must be your love or nothing


7. ACTION TALKS

Hey, what's the deal man, don't it feel like something's goin' on
What's goin' down what's goin' around, and I'm gonna get some
What's this I see, a familiar face, and it's coming my way
I said I don't know who it is, it might be you and this just might be my day

Action talks - now action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - you got something to say
Action talks - start talking, or get your walking
Action talks - start making your move on me-yeah-yeah

Sure was not nice, but wasn't going right, forget the consequences
Let's work it out instead of workin' out
We'll work it over till we get it right
What's this I need, now what's this I like, it came, you sent it my way
Till I realized all the innocent lies, it was gonna take my heart outta me

Action talks - now action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - we got something to say
Action talks - nobody talkin', ain't no one walkin'
Action talks - no use in puttin' the blame on yesterday

So here's the deal, it looks like it feels, they got it goin' on
They know it's going down what's going around, while we're waiting, how come
So the queen don't get to lose the president
Don't hear a word they say (fuck you!)
They come together as one and maybe get the job done
Instead of blaming yesterday

Action talks - action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - you got something to say
Action talks - no use in cryin', no use in runnin'
Action talks - no use in puttin' the blame on yesterday
Action talks - no blamin' yesterday, say what you mean
Say what you mean (oh talk to me, talk, talk)
Say what you mean (just talk to me), say what you mean
Start talkin', start talkin', start talkin'
Say what you mean, you got a lot to say, you got a lot to say
Say what you mean, nobody's stoppin' you, nobody's stoppin' you
So tell me, what the fuck don't you say


8. MAMA'S FOOL

Out on the road, and a long long way from home
Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood
While my intentions, my intentions all are good
Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should
Just like they should

Too many times, too many times payin' the price, just for the thrill
Too many hearts, too many times, overkill
So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal
How many folks gettin' to be over the hill

She always told me things, like those weren't made of sugar and spice
She always scolded me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, Lord I've just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - well I've just been fooled again

Too many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too
Too many hearts goin' straight down the tube
Hell of a dude, did it but don't have the time and the words for use
Too many rounds, too many times, overuse

She's always telling me, "Just take your time, always think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, hell I've just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - she did not raise a fool
Mama I ain't no fool

Oh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time
Somebody's gonna have to walk the line, walk the line!

She's always telling me, "Take my advice boy and just think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, Lord I won't be fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she ain't no fool - I may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Mama you crazy fool - may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Crazy but I ain't no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy
Crazy but I ain't no fool

Out in the cold, and a long long way from home


9. CRY

Any day at all, any time, any way it take me to make you mine
I would give it all, give it all and more
Give you more than you could ever want from me
If anything they say is true, you gotta have 'em, if you wanna sing the blues
'Cos some nights, there ain't nothing I can do, but

Cry, cry an ocean
No use tryin' to hide what's slowly dying in me, what's slowly dying in me

Now I will confess, was no second guess
With all your love you left to me, it was a mess
Once there was a time, was no compromising
You [left so life can't do possess]

If anything they say is true, what goes around will be coming to you, I know
Some night, there'll be nothing you can do, but

Cry, cry an ocean
No use trying to hide what's slowly dying in me
Cry, do you feel that it's over
What you may fear is still alive, it's slowly dying in me

I cried, guess you're crying now
(I'm blind to the end, I cried...)
Tried to be everything I could, for you, from me, all I could be
Tried to be everything I could, for you, from me, all I could be
Tried, tried to be everywhere I could, for you, cried out my eyes for you

For you

Take no bad talk, I ain't a toy, I won't be somebody's boy
My heart ain't [chasin'] no game and if I do play, I'm takin' my time
Take no bad talk (I take no), take no bad talk (ah, hell no)
I won't be your boy, ain't gonna be a toy

If anything they say is true, anytime it should be coming for you

Cry, cry an ocean
No use trying to hide what's deep inside of me
You can cry, do you feel that it's over
Don't you come crying, no don't come crying, don't come crying to me!


10. EATHMOVER

Now I know why the man on the moon
Won't show his face, I wouldn't if I was you
Go running high, think it's better you do
Playin' no hide and seek, keekaboo

If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for me
Where in the world, where in the world would this world be

Why do we lie, till [our face is hot and] blue
How can I rely, countin' on you
No I don't mind, long as it's true
You got the old in with the new

It wasn't working for you, it wasn't working for me
So how in the world could we stand and watch while this world bleeds

One more day, could be all it takes, to burn this damn place to the ground
Down to the seeds
One more change, we're gonna rip this entire place
Up off the earth and split the seeds - except for you and me

Why don't we cry, instead of laugh in the face
How can we deny we're destroying this place
No I'm not fine - with what?

If it wasn't for trust, peace and harmony
If it wasn't for love, tell me where in the world would this world be

One more day, we might rip this entire place
Up off the earth and split the seeds - burstin' in two
One more change, we're gonna take each entire race
Turn it all around and split the seeds

If it wasn't for land, if it wasn't for see
All the trees, all the ocean, all the air we breathe
If it wasn't for life and all of us
Now tell me where would this world be, yeah

One more day, could be all it takes, to burn this damn place to the ground
Down to the seeds
One more change, we're gonna take each entire race
Turn it all around and split the seeds - except for you and me
One more day, may rip this entire place
Up off the earth and split the seeds - bursting in two
One of these days, just watch and see, the [blues] is gonna show its face
And that's the end for you and me!


11. ALOT TO LOSE

I thought I saw the light, was it real or something I'm imagining
I thought I saw the light, if it was then tell me, did you see it too
Did you see the light, if you did now tell me, could you feel it too
Hey I saw the light, yeah tell me that you saw the light

I don't know why I even do it, all I know is I'm so glad
We always make it through it, one way or another
We're gonna make it or break

I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose
I got alot of love for you and only you

I don't know how we even do it, all I know is I'm so glad
We always make it through it, one more time now baby

Got me two times a wife, just like my mother
She's there to love and understand
Got me two times a wife, she really does have a touch just like no other hands
The sparkle in my eye, too many times I left her there alone at night
The way you light up my life, yeah your love is two times as nice

I don't know how we make it through it, all I know is I'm so glad
We always seem to do it, one way or another
We're gonna make it or break

I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose
I got alot of love for you and only you
I got alot of love for you, I do, and that's the way it should be

I don't know why we even do it, all I know is I'm so glad
We always make it through it, one more time now friend

I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose
I got alot of love for you and only you and nobody else but you
I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose
I got alot of love for you and only you and no one else but you my friend
Oh, nobody else but you my friend

(I got a lot of love for you) I got a lot, I got a lot, a lot of love for you
(I got a lot of love for you) I do, oh I feel I got a lot to lose


12. RUBBERBAND

You should never take more than you can lend
Unless you wanna break you're gonna have to bend
Keep your mind at ease, your heart close at hand
The more you realize and the more you seem to understand

Ooh, will there be love to be made
Ooh, isn't it left anyway

I thought you was dyin' to love me, not to love on a shelf
Before you hurt somebody else you've got to help yourself
Ooh, are you ready today, you'd better be, 'cos there's hell to pay

[Chorus:]
All the lightning and thunder - out of hand
Ready or not, now tell me what's your plan
It gets to be all you can stand - rubberband
You got the [feels like] like a rubberband

I thought what was easy, well it turned into hell
Before I please somebody else I've got to please myself
I said ooh, is this a game that you play, it might as well be anyway

[Chorus:]

All the lightning and thunder - out of hand
Ready or not, now tell me what's your plan
It gets to be all you can stand - rubberband
Just lay back just like a rubberband

Ready or not - what's your plan
Tell me what is your interest, show me where you stand
You're my release, your heart close at hand - rubberband
Bounce back just like a rubberband man

Rubberband, rubberband, rubberband, rubberband, rubberband
You got to bounce back, snap back, to the mouth if you can
Like a rubberband man


13. WONDERFUL WORLD

Ever since Chicken Little said, the sky was fallin' down upon his head
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Climb a tree, headin' straight to the pond
Get some pearly walks before they turn to frogs
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Puppy love are behind the law, before you know it it's a big old dog
Left so suddenly, where's that wonderful world?

Just a kid growin' up on a farm, hardly knew what was right from wrong
It's a jungle in this wonderful world
Ever since Johnny went to Nam, he loves his men the way he loves [his arm]
I convinced myself, it's an ugly old world

But seein' school, I was just a kid, someone had to go and shoot the president
He wasn't sleeping when he's going to bed, so they said, so now he's dead
Didn't know much but I knew it wasn't funny
Everybody's crying like they killed the Easter bunny
Nothing changes, never changes, killing in vain

Tell me what it's coming to, tell me what well we ain't gonna do
If it stays like this we'll have nothing left to lose

Saw a picture and it ain't so pretty, from the West Coast to New York City
I've seen the world, it's such a pity, we'll be here on our own

Ever since Chicken Little said, "Humpty Dumpty fell and broke his head"
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Ever since mom she reveal, the tooth ferry nor Santa Claus is real
May be so, mama, it's still a wonderful world

That may be so, mama, still it's a wonderful world


14. GAMES PEOPLE PLAY

Oh the games people play now
Every night and everyday now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean

Why they waol away the hours
In their ivory towers
To be covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limosene

Oh, we made one another cry
Break our hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and hope to die
"Cept the other one's to blame

Neither one will ever feel it
So we gaze at an 8 by 10
Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been
OW, It's a dirty rotten shame

Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

People walkin up a to ya
Singin Glory Hallelujah
Sayin' what the hell's it to ya
If I do it in the name of the Lord

Gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
Brother I'm gonna elevate
Come on let's get on board

Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

Look around tell me what you see
What's happenin' to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am
Cause you're givin up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
OW, When you don't give a damn
Not a damn

Latten da latten da da da
Latten da latten da da de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

Latten da Latten da da da
