(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)



Like to tell you 'bout my baby
You know she comes around,
Just 'bout five feet four a-from her head to the ground
You know she comes around here just about midnight
She make me feel so good, lord
She make me feel all right
And her name is g-l-o-r-i

G-l-o-r-i-a gloria
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria
I'm gonna shout it all night gloria
I'm gonna shout it every day, gloria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

She comes around here just about midnight, ha
She make me feel so good, lord
I wanna say she make me feel all right
Comes a-walkin' down my street
Then she comes up to my house
She knock upon my door and then she comes to my room
Yeah an' she make me feel all right

G-l-o-r-i-a gloria
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria
I'm gonna shout it all night gloria
I'm gonna shout it every day gloria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Looks so good gloria
All right, feel so good gloria
All right, yeah now

Now fly with the wind
The spirits running free
The mountains have turned to dust
And the desert is a ragging sea


I'm a prisoner no more
If i just believe my eyes
(it's hard to believe it)
(you've just got to believe it)
Now i've opened this door
And my future waits inside
(i know it's hard to believe)
Looking at eternity


Love is a river in time
Now and forever
A bridge between lifetimes


Here there are no good-byes
And your dreams never die
Love is a river in time


A million years from now
Will war be obsolete?
Will man live on the moon?
Will flowers smell as sweet?


Take this magic carpet ride
Going to the promise land
(i know it's hard to believe it)
(you've just got to believe it)
We shall need the human touch
Every woman, child and man
(everybody believe it)
(reach across and take my hand)


Love is a river in time
(love is a river in time)
Now and forever
A bridge between lifetimes


Here there is no future no past
Love is all we have
Love is a river in time
A river in time

Waking up in the night
The fear comes down
Oh
And here i go again with the insecurities
Doubts are running themselves all over me

Help
Help is on the way
She don't have to say
Anything
She reaches out her hand
I know she understands
All of me
Nobody loves me like she

Just another face in the human sea
But she gives me a reason to believe
I myself am an island in the human sea
And i know i am never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river before

Standing on the beach
Of the human sea
I feel so absolutely insignificant
One more dreamer in a city of heartbreak

Help
Help is on the way
She don't have to say
Anything
She reaches out her hand
I know she understands
All of me
Nobody loves her like me

Just another face in the human sea
But she gives me a reason to believe
I myself am an island in the human sea
And i know i am never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river before

I don't want to seem too dependent
But i guess it already shows
By the short hairs i will follow
Every where that she goes

Just another face
Help
Help is on the way
She don't have to say anything
I know she understands
She reaches out her hand to me
Nobody lover her like me

Just another life in a human sea
I'm just the next one looking for an answer
Take your partners hand for the human dance
Won't you lead
You know i'm not a dance
Just another face to the human sea
But she gives me a reason to believe
I find myself an island in the human sea
And i know i'm never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river
I was running like a river
Running like a river before
Just another face in the human sea
But she gives me a reason to believe
Find myself an island in the human sea
And i know i'm never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river
I was running like a river
Running like a river before

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

What's the problem here
What's the noise
I'm just waiting for the man (yea)
Me and the boys

He's got the goods
We've got the twenties, tens and fives
Everybody's doing it
Living desperate lives (living on the edge)

Desperate lives
I'm stuck in the middle
Desperate lives
My life is a riddle
And i'm sure there's a way out
When i want it

Sometimes i worry
But i'm no fool
I keep it to myself
Cause you gotta stay cool

Desperate lives
I'm stuck in the middle
Desperate lives

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

I see you standing out there in the hall
You seem so nervous waiting for his call
I focus on you
I reach for the lens
The shutter snaps again

(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know
(smile)
The camera never ever lies
I've been watching you with
Eager hungry eyes
For sometime
(smile)

I hold my lens in the middle of the night
Visions of you dancing in the strobe light
Up on my wall is a picture or two
Of someone who looks like you

(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know
(smile)
The camera is my wide lens
(smile)
You know the camera is my private eye
I got color transparencies
I got black and white
(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know that
(smile)
Cameras never ever lies
(smile)
I've been watching you with telephoto eyes
For some time

(smile)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)

(smile)
Won't you smile for the camera
Won't you smile for the
Click, click, click

(smile)
Smile for the camera
(smile)
Smile for the camera
(smile)
Smile for the camera
(smile)
Smile for the camera
(smile)
Smile for the camera
(smile)
You know
(smile)
The camera is my private eye
(smile)
I've got color transparencies
(smile)
I've got black and white
(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know that
(smile)
Cameras never ever lies

I've been watching you
With eager hungry eyes for some time

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

(jimmy hart)


(spoken) ring, ring. "hello, hello, hi, is cyndi in?"
"no, who is this?"
"what do you mean, who is this? this is jimmy hart, the mouth of the south. where is she?"
"she's gone to the rick springfield concert!"
"rick springfield!?!"

I called my chick
On the phone last night
Her mother said
She was gone for the night
She had two tickets
To a rock n' roll show
To see her working class hero

So i jumped in my car
And i cruised downtown
I could hear the music playing
From a mile around
So i got me a ticket
And i walked inside
I could see him standing
There in the spotlight

(chorus)
Eat your hart out, rick springfield

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 live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And i sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a union jack
And says, i've won five pounds if i have his kind of detergent pack

I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

The telephone is ringing,
I say, "hi, it's me. who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, i guess i'm doin' fine
He says, "it's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?"

I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this,
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, i was so tired and i started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen

I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd

Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just can't believe what you're trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know i'm

Walking the floor on my hands over you
Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just can't believe what you've been trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know i'm
Walking the floor on my hands over you

Everybody wants somebody
And i can make it just for you
Won't you tell me please tell me
What you're trying to do
Everybody says you want me
Baby i'm not too sure
Just what you've been doing
It should be against the law

Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just can't believe what you're trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know i'm
Walking the floor on my hands over you

Well you got me
I don't know what's going down
Tell me where you want me
And put me back on the ground
Everybody says you want me
Baby i'm not too sure
Just what you've been doing
It should be against the law

Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just can't believe what you're trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know i'm

Walking the floor on my hands over you
Walking the floor on my hands over you
I just can't believe what you're trying to do
Spinning around and around and you know i'm

Walking the floor on my hands over you
Walking the floor on my hands over you
Walking the floor on my hands over you

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

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

Well it's christmas eve in memphis

You can imagine how i feel

Well merry christmas baby
