Les paroles

1. GIFT WITH A GOLDEN GUN

It's a twelve o'clock depression, my mind is in recession
And I can't answer you
It's the day I can't remember, I think it's late September
Or is it April blue

I can't find peace of mind in a world so unkind
It's just a little heartbreaker, just a little heartbreaker, yeah

It's a sticky situation when I'm near hallucination, and I refuse to bow
They used to think me funny when I promised them their money
But they're not laughing now

I can't find peace of mind, then she calls me just in time
She's a gift with a golden gun, and she's got them on the run
She's a gift with a golden gun, 'cause she knows what they've done

I can't find peace of mind, then she calls me just in time
She's a gift with a golden gun, and she's got them on the run
She's a gift with a golden gun, 'cause she knows what they've done

Just what they've done, done, done, done, done
What they've done, done, done, done, done
Just what they've done, done, done, done, done...


2. ENGLISH EYES

What you're sayin' it never really crossed my mind
I hear playin' and everybody's keepin' time
I'm recallin' that girl I met in London town
She was strange, young and tender and narrowed all my choices down

We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine, English Eyes

I was tryin' to read her lips and knew the time was drawing near
I forgot what she said but I remember how she whispered in my ear
I can hear laughter coming from the places we once knew
There were stories from a stranger out of nowhere but they seemed so true

We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine, English Eyes

English Eyes, English Eyes

English Eyes

Red sky warning, girl you really put a spell on me
Never told me 'bout the daddy you refused to please
You took the bishop when the king was standing right in front of you
There's nothing in it if I can't have a girl with eyes like you

We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine, English Eyes

We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine, English Eyes

English Eyes, yeah, English Eyes, English Eyes


3. LIVE FOR TODAY

Baby, I'm a liar when I tell you that I just don't care
Babe, I've got to have you but you're never ever, ever there
Hey, the game is over, give it up right now
You're teasin' me, baby, how do you expect me to be without you

You let your hair down low
You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
But you just can't tell anymore

Baby, you're a teaser but you just don't dare
Baby, keep your secrets, this whole thing just ain't fair
Tonight is almost over, tomorrow you'll be gone away
So please baby, won't you stay

You let your hair down low
You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
But you just can't tell anymore

You let your hair down low
You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
But you just can't tell anymore


4. A MILLION MILES AWAY

I don't want to know the reason why you don't love me
I don't want to know the reason why you don't care
I don't want to know the reason why you're leavin' me
I'm not the only one that lost my love way down there - way down there

I don't want to hear the reason why you don't need me
I don't want to hear the reason why you don't stay
I don't want to hear the reason why you're seeing him
All I know is that I want you back, but you're

A million miles away and it's killin' me inside
There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight
The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love
When I'm a million miles away

I don't want to be the reason why you don't love me
And I don't want to be the reason why you don't care
I don't want to be the reason why you're leavin' me
I'm not the only one that lost my love

A million miles away and it's killin' me inside
There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight
The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love
When I'm a million miles away

He sends his love and I'm a hundred million miles away


5. GOODBYE ELEONORE

I wanna give her something she'll remember
And she say, "No, no, no, no, no"
I wanna squeeze her tight and not offend her, yeah
She said, "No, no, no, no, no"
(And he thought that she was coming back, but she wrote him a letter)
Sealed it with a kiss and placed it in front of my door

Seems as though you've got your way before
You left me standing helpless just when I need more
You broke my heart for the last time, you broke my heart for the last time
You broke my heart for the last time, goodbye Elenore

I tried to tell the boys all about her, yeah
And they say, "No, no, no, no, no"
They told me she was loose, no doubt about her
Well I say, "No, no, no, no, no"
(And he thought that she was coming back, but she wrote him a letter)
Sealed it with a kiss and placed it in front of my door

Seems as though you've got your way before
You left me standing helpless just when I need more
You broke my heart for the last time, you broke my heart for the last time
You broke my heart for the last time, goodbye Elenore

Seems as though you've got your way before
You left me standing helpless just when I need more
You broke my heart for the last time, you broke my heart for the last time
You broke my heart for the last time, goodbye Elenore

You broke my heart for the last time, broke my heart, it's the last time
You stole my heart and now you're gone forevermore


6. I THINH I COULD STAND YOU FOREVER

Would you say no if I asked you for your hand
Could you believe in the same words that I don't understand
And would you cry if I told you I must go

I've been waiting such a long, long time, I think I could stand you forever
I've been wanting you a long, long time, I think I could stand you forever

Would you say no if I asked you for this one chance
Am I a fool to believe that this night is circumstance
I wish that for once you could see the look in your own eyes

I've been waiting such a long, long time, I think I could stand you forever
I've been wanting you a long, long time, I think I could stand you forever

I've been waiting such a long, long time, I think I could stand you forever
I've been wanting you a long, long time, I think I could stand you forever

I think I could stand you forever
Think I could stand you, think I could stand you forever, yeah
Think I could stand you forever, yeah - I think I could stand you
Think I could stand you forever, yeah - forever and ever
Think I could stand you forever, yeah
Think I could stand you forever and ever and ever


7. TURN BACK

Only the wind sang the words he could hear
Born of the sand washed ashore on a tear
Time wrote the lines on his face like a scroll
Love is a loss to the man with no soul

Run through the darkness he hears - turn back
There's no survivors, you can't turn back
Dreams keep him turning back the years

Raising his sail cast away on his own
Motherless child on a sea all alone
Morpheus calls but they won't lay him down
Creatures of midnight appear with no sound

Run through the darkness he hears - turn back
There's no survivors, you can't turn back
Dreams keep him turning back the years

Run through the darkness, turn back the years, turn back the years


8. IF IT'S THE LAST NIGHT

I don't know if you'll understand
But I'm hopin' that you'll follow me down to the waterway
I'll be there if you change your mind
Listening to the ticking of the hands on a clock working overtime

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

Now you're here standing next to me
I've seen your face on every girl that I've held since you went away
It's getting late and I have to know
I'm mending the wings of a heart that was broken not so long ago

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
