(the szuters)



Took all this time
I never thought it would be like this
I guess the best is best forgotten
Now and then i come back to that dream
Where if i set you free
You'd come back to me
And say that it's not all for nothing

All i wanted was one hit record
All i wanted was a chance to be a star
All i wanted was a happy ending

Don't want to hear about the money you're making
Don't want to hear about the young girl shaking
All i wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere

Well, my good friends talk about
The things they've done
And look around where i am now
Lately in bed
With this worry in my head
Sometimes wish that i were dead
Just like robin saunders said

All i wanted was one hit record
All i wanted was a chance to be a star
All i wanted was a happy ending

Don't want to hear about the money you're making
Don't want to hear about the young girl shaking
All i wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere
Somewhere down the line

All i wanted was one hit record
All i wanted was a chance to be a star
All i wanted was a happy ending

Don't want to hear about the money you're making
Don't want to hear about the young girl shaking
All i wanted was a happy ending...
Somewhere
Somewhere down the line...oh yeah

Somewhere down the line
Oh yeah
Somewhere
Somewhere
Yeah
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere

Where are you running my love
Through the back streets of the city
You're keeping an eye on the horizon
Looking over your shoulder
Must be some demon driving you
I must have looked like a prime one
Running after you like we still could survive
But nobody i've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'

I've got a hole in my heart
You know that i've got a hole in my heart
But i won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

You're nothing but a taker
A real heartbreaker
Who ever hurt you so long ago baby,

Must have been a master
But you're learning fast

I've got a hole in my heart
You know that i've got a hole in my heart
But i won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

Nobody i've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'

I've got a hole in my heart
You know that i've got a hole in my heart
But i won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore

I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart

Streaking
Do we do on a lonely campus night
Tv's a drag and they're turning off the city lights
I remember the days of the party raids
And sitting on combs was a silly craze
We got a new one
And it's called

Streaking the old australian way
Streaking
We're bringing back the age
Streaking
The old australian way
Streaking

It's not what you call your regular high school course
It's a little like lady godiva without the horse
You just need a crowd and some confidence
There's nothing special to wear so there's no expense

Everybody can do it
So let's go streaking
The old australian way
We're bringing back the age
Streaking
The old australian way

Me and my lady are going to get away
Then go streaking night and day
We felt for awhile there was nothing new to try
You don't have to smoke it but it still gets you high
You just need a mg to get away
And maybe a nice warm sunny day

Anybody can do it
So let's go streaking the old australian way
We're bringing back the age
Streaking

Lio they say you haven't made it
Until you got that favor
I can't help it hurts me
The pen cuts like a razor
Too bad if they kick you in the face
They draw blood you can put in your pen
And you write again

Oh what a disappointment, lio
I thought that you would go the distance, my-o
Anticipation was a little, high-o
You were low, low, low, low, lio

Symbols spread across the pages
I play electric wires
I've got rhythms in my head
And irons in the fires
It don't hurt the process
But they did leave a scar on the face of the fighter
Who'll fight again

Oh what a disappointment, lio
I thought that you would go the distance, my-o
Anticipation was a little high-o
You were low, low, low, low, lio

My world, which lives inside of my head
No where else but my head
And i'm the one who puts the limitations on it
They said you belong in this line over here
No thanks, i'm not that weak
And the music will speak again

Oh what a disappointment, lio
I thought that you would go the distance, my-o
Anticipation was a little high-o
You were low, low, low, low, lio
You were low, low, low, low, lio
You were low, low, low, low

Humans walking around in cages
We build with our own hands
Looking for the turning point
That waits outside

(van morrison)

Another lesson learned
Wrapped around my soul
Another journey ends
Another story told
Innocents, forever burns
A light in the window
Until your dreams return


Let it shine
Shine on you
Cause you got the power
To make it come true


Let it shine
Shine on me
I need you to help me
Gotta help me believe


Now the magic's here
Like the moon and stars
Imagination comes
No matter who you are
You are free
Free to believe
In the light in the window
In the power of your dreams


Let it shine
Shine on me
You got the power
Power to make it come true


Let it shine
Shine on me
I need you to help me
You gotta help me believe


Let it shine
Shine on me
Cause you got the power
To make it come true


So let it shine
Shine on me
Need you to help me
You gotta help me believe
In the world

Like an eagle soaring through the sky
I can see beyond the borders of our lives
No more fighting, no more taking sides
Now i'm standing here with both arms open wide
Talk to me and i won't be a stranger
Close your eyes, and we both feel the same

I need you
Like the air i'm breathing
I need you
You're a part of me inside
I'm with you
As long as my heart's beating
And together we'll survive

Stand beside me, we can work it out
I could use some help, and that's what love's about
Look through my eyes, past the setting sun
I could see a day when we can live as one
Take my hand; let nothing come between us
I will be here for you 'til the end

I need you
Like the air i'm breathing
I need you
You're a part of me inside
I'm with you
As long as my heart's beating
And together we'll survive

Hear me out; use your heart to listen
Different worlds can't keep us apart

I need you
Like the air i'm breathing
I need you
You're a part of me inside
I'm with you
As long as my heart's beating
And together we'll survive

I need you
I'll be here when you need me
I'll hold you as dear to me as life (as dear to me as life)

I need you
You've given love a new meaning
You're a part of me inside

I need you
Like the air i'm breathing
I need you,
You're a part of me inside
I'm with you
As long as my heart's beating
And together we'll survive

Standing at the terminal i can almost hear the music
Coming from the cold and chilly l.a. night
And when we get to the gate, baby
All of the things that were said
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back
Will they bring you back
Will you come back home 'cause you know i'm waiting

The light of love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on
Keeping the night watch

Baby, are you lonely, don't talk to strangers
I'm trying to tell myself you won't be gone for long
And when we get to the part baby, where all of the tears start to come
Will you turn around, get on the plane
Will it bring you back, will you come back home
'cause you know i'm waiting

The light of love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on
Keeping the night watch

She loved the man
Who stayed the night
That made the child
Lord it seemed so right

Her mamma cried
And her daddy swore
It nearly broke her heart
She needed so much more

Life begin oh child within
Life begin a child within

Who can say
Why lovers part
She'll always keep a place for him
Inside her heart
He writes a bit
And people seem sincere
But she wished they'd call it more than
Just a souvenir

Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within

She fell in love
Was that a crime
She's not a bad girl
But you know it happens all the time
You give yourself
To the one you love
Tomorrow heartbreak
You never dream of

Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within

Here i come again
Up against the wall
But if i don't give it everything i got baby,
It will come to nothing at all

Give it one more chance
Before i fade to black
I'm fighting for my life yeah i'm scared
But you know that i can never look back

They say i can't refuse
I've got nothing left to lose
But if you're asking me to choose
I'm gonna stand up for love

Baby once i'm in, you know i play to win
I stand up for love
Cuz it's all that i can do

I stand up for love

When i cut you down
Bet it hurt so bad
It can break your faith
And your soul like you're living in a world gone bad

When it comes back around
Rip your heart
Break you down
You gotta hold your ground
Babe, you gotta
Stand up for love

It's a chance i take
It's never too late
Stand up for love
It's the best that i can do
You gotta stand up for love
Cuz baby once you're in it, you gotta play to win it
Stand up for love
Baby i'll be good to you

I'm thinking of the times when things were better babe
I'm missing them, missing them
Well i never thought they would end

You know i can't refuse
I got nothing left to lose
If you're asking me to choose
I'm gonna stand up for love
It's a chance i'll take
It's never too late
Stand up for love

It's the best that i can do
You gotta stand up for love
Cuz baby once you're in
You've gotta play to win
Stand up for love
Baby i'll be good to you

Stand up for love

Bess:
Baby i'm sad
I feel you inside every time
I breathe
When i kissed your mouth
You made me feel strong.
You were my life from that first kiss
I knew you better than i knew myself


But i thought we had forever, baby
I'd always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever


Houdini:
Baby i miss you too
I spent my life trying
To capture a dream
When i touched your face
I burned with desire
Though our souls are worlds apart
You're living in my heart


Both:
But i thought we had forever, baby
I'd always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever

Interlude - scene: the escapes

Both:
But i thought we had forever, baby
I'd always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever

Bess:
My heart beats to the memory of you

Both:
Love is the only thing that's true
But i thought we had forever, baby
I'd always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever


Together we will make it last forever
Together we will make it last forever

When we talk it's a thriller, baby
It's like walking on a tightrope line
When we spark it's electric, baby
Like the crackle from a neon sign
What you doin', baby, come on over tonight
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
We'll have the joint jumpin'
We'll be doin', doin', doin, alright

Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)

Well, i've got it all planned on the other hand
If you like it like that
When we touch, there's a shock baby
Like the static from a pylon
When we love i'm on a rocket baby
Running up and down your nylons
What you doin', baby, come on over tonight
(well, well, well)
We'll have the joint jumpin'
We'll be doin', doin', doin, alright

Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Well i take it when i want it
And i really want it now
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Well you know that i take it when i want it
And i want it tonight, tonight

Baby used to be a rock n roller
In the night time
She used to use all of my money
To have a good time

I gave her plenty of good times
She gave me plenty of heartaches
She was planning a getaway
Oh take me

To beethoven street
That's where i want to be
Yeah take me
To beethoven street
That's where i want to be
Baby's given up rock n roll
And i can hardly keep control
Take me to beethoven street
Mr. i want to be there

Who cut the power on you
I just don't know
Who pulled the switch her heartbeat
She wouldn't let me know
I gave her plenty of good times
She gave me plenty of heartaches
She was planning a getaway

Take me to beethoven street
That's where i want to be
Take me to beethoven street
Mr. i want to be there
Who cut the power on you baby
I just don't know
Who pulled the power on you
I just don't know
I gave her plenty of good times
She gave me plenty of heartaches
She was planning a getaway

Take me to beethoven street
That's where i want to be
Take me to beethoven street
Mr. i want to be there
Take me to beethoven street

Stop (stop) my head is playing tricks again, won't it ever stop
Baby, help me listen to my heart
And then take me to the top
I'm afraid of love, so afraid of love
And i'm scared to make it right
But i know tonight, that it's my last chance
My last shot with real love and i wanna take it
Last chance in the slow dance, in the big time
And i wanna make it tonight
You're gonna show what love is and why
Between the sweat and the lovin'
The whisper and the cry
I'm so tired of all this shit that i feel
Show me something real

Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can i do
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak

I (i) spend my life waiting for the future and living in the past
Baby, show me love that i can hold on to
Give me something that'll last
I'm a total wreck but i'm up to my neck in this love i'm in
It's a long shot, fun try from a real world, me and you, baby
Last chance for the slow dance in the bright lights
And i think that maybe tonight it's gonna happen
Ain't no use in tryin'
Between the sweat and the lovin', the whisper and the cry
Show me something real

Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can i do
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak

Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can i do
You've got the power- you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak

I'm picking up my baby tonight
Though her daddy's making trouble
It will be alright
I'm working hard, i don't know why
I'm like a working class dog
And i just get by
Tonight i'm crawling out from in it
And though we're livin' on the brink
Second by second by minute by minute

Another day passes like a ghost
And you're wishing you were any place but here
From your prison cell of flesh and bone
You send a prayer on it's suicide last flight
Into the air, into the rain
And it sends you nothing back again

Hey maria it's a big beautiful friday night
Hey maria, hey na na, hey na na na yeah

Day to day and coast to coast
Everything seems anything but clear
Inside your skin of steel and stone
Your need for somebody wakes you late night
But there's something there you can't explain
As you come in bed alone again

Hey maria, it's a big beautiful friday night
Hey maria - hey na na, hey na na na yeah
Hey maria, why don't we drink 'til we just don't care tonight
Hey maria - hey na na, hey na na na yeah

Life is a perfect song with a fractured beat
Yeah it's a one way sign on a dead end street

Hey maria, you sure look beautiful tonight

Hey maria, it's a big beautiful friday night
Hey maria, hey na na, hey na na na yeah
Hey maria don't let it be so complicated tonight
Hey maria, hey na na, hey na na na yeah

Why can i still see
Out on the floor
You shimmy and shake it
And we head for the door
Then we take a ride naked
There was no need to fake it

Moving like a mountain
(moving like a mountain)
You're my little wild one
(you're my little wild one)
Coming like a fountain
(coming like a fountain)
What happened to that big fun
(what happened to that big fun)

Shake it
Oh there she goes drifting across the floor
Don't you shimmy, don't you shake
Don't you

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance

What happened to the wide eyed girl
Who wanted a piece of my soul

Remember that friday
I saw you with that sinner
He stood up and held out his hand
Just like a winner
I said if you take my hand to shake it
I'll take your face and break it

I think i saw you crying
(i think i saw you crying)
You walked out with that big gun
(you walked out with that big gun)
Nights when i'm not lying
(nights when i'm not lying)
I miss my little wild one
(i miss my little wild one)

Oh baby i remember how you'd
Shiver to my touch
Don't you shake
Don't you shimmy, baby

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance

Oh step back in time
And see that scene again
Let's dance again
Baby
Oh baby

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance

Why
Don't you
Dance

Don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why
Don't you
Dance

Moving like a mountain
(moving like a mountain)
You're my little wild one
(you're my little wild one)
Coming like a fountain
(coming like a fountain)
What happened to that big fun
(what happened to that big fun)

Shake it
Oh there she goes drifting across the floor
Don't you shimmy, don't you shake
Don't you

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance

Why don't you shake baby you
Why don't you baby

Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Why don't you dance
Anymore

This one way love affair ain't fair, it ain't fair to me
It's all give and take and you just take
I can't take it you see
Well, i'm givin' up on love this time
Me and my friends, we'll do just fine

I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me

You said someday i'd have a whole lotta money,
I'd be a millionaire
But when that didn't happen over night
I found out how much you really cared
Well, all you want is a whole lotta money
All the rest is just jivin' honey

I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me

When i first met you, you didn't know how to love a man
All those things about makin' love you didn't understand
Now you know about everything
I'm turning you in for memories, you see

I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me

Well, i'm going out on the town tonight
And get as wild as i can be
I'm gonna find out what it's really like to be lose, high and free
Well, i don't care what the people say
I'm changin' my mind, i'm changin' to stay

I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
You've done nothing for me
You've done nothing
You've done nothing
You've done nothing for me

(jeff barrie and ellie greenwich)


There she was just a-walkin' down the street,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
She looked good, looked good
She looked fine, looked fine
She looked good, she looked fine
And i nearly lost my mind

Before i knew it she was walkin' next to me.
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We walked on, walked on
To my door, my door
We walked on to my door,
Then we kissed a little more

Wo-o-o-oh, i knew we were falling in love,
Yes i did, and so i told her all the things
That i'd been dreamin' of

Now we're toget her nearly every single day,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We're so happy and that how we're gonna stay,
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers, i'm hers
She's mine, she's mine
I'm hers, she's mine,
Wedding bells are gonna chime

Wo-o-o-oh, i knew we were falling in love,
Yes i did, and so i told her all the things
That i'd been dreamin' of

Now we're togther nearly every single day
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We're so happy and that how we're gonna stay
Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers, i'm hers
She's mine, she's mine
I'm hers, she's mine,
Wedding bells are gonna chime

Singin', do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
