1. _ Downtown Train
(tom waits)
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
Full of all them brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh if i was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now
Will i see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
On a downtown train
I know your window and i know its late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way
And watch them as they fall, oh baby
They all having their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back
Will i see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will i see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
Will i see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
Will i see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

2. _ Passion
(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)
Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience
Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated
In the bars and the cafes, passion
In the streets and the alleys, passion
A lot of pretending, passion
Everybody searching, passion
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Passion, passion
Passion, passion
New york, moscow, passion
Hong kong, tokyo, passion
Paris and bangkok, passion
A lotta people ain't got, passion
Hear it in the radio, passion
Read it in the papers, passion
Hear it in the churches, passion
See it in the school yards, passion
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Alone in your bed at night, passion
It's half past midnight, passion
As you turn out your sidelight, passion
Something ain't right, passion
There's no passion, there's no passion
There's no passion, i need passion
You need passion, we need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion
Even the president needs passion
Everybody i know needs some passion
Some people die and kill for passion
Nobody admits they need passion
Some people are scared of passion
Yeah passion

3. _ Forever Young
(r. stewart/j.cregan/k.savigar)
May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young
Forever young
And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that i served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young ,forever young
Forever young, forever young
For, forever young, forever young

4. _ Young Turks
(rod stewart / carmine appice, kevin savigar, duane hitchings)
Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.
He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, she was just seventeen,
There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited.
We got just one shot of life, let's take it while we're still not afraid.
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided.
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.
Young hearts be free tonight. time is on your side,
Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around,
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view.
Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner.
They took a tworoom apartment that was jumping ev'ry night of the week.
Happiness was found in each other's arms as expected, yeah
Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!
Young hearts be free tonight.time is on your side,
Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around,
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view.
[instrumental verse]
Young hearts be free tonight.time is on your side.
Billy wrote a letter back home to patti's parents tryin' to explain.
He said we're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way.
But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody list'ning so we just ran away
Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, yeah!
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side.
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side.
Young hearts be free tonight, time in on your side.
Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free
Time is on, time is on your side
Time, time, time, time is on your side
Is on your side
Is on your side
Is on your side
Young heart be free tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah

5. _ People Get Ready
(curtis mayfield, 1964)
[with jeff beck, flash, 1985]
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the lord
People get ready
For the train to jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved the most
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the kingdom's throne
So people get ready
For the train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board !
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank, you just thank the lord
Yeah
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
This time i'm ready
This time i'm ready

6. _ Stay With Me
(ron wood/ rod stewart)
In the morning
Don't say you love me
Cause i'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is rita
Cause your perfum smelling sweeter
Since when i saw you down on the floor
Guitar
Won't need to much pursuading
I don't mean to sound degrading
But with a face like that
You got nothing to laugh about
Red lips hair and fingernails
I hear your a mean old jezabel
Lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
So in the morning
Please don't say you love me
Cause you know i'll only kick you out the door
Yea i'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best colonge
Just don't be here in the morning when i wake up
Stay with me

Cause tonight you better stay with me
Sit down, get up, get down
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight your going stay with me
Hey, whats your name again
Oh no, get down, wooo

7. _ Infatuation
(r. stewart / d. hitchings / r. robinson)
Early in the morning i can't sleep
I can't work and i can't eat
I've been drunk all day, can't concentrate
Maybe i'm making a big mistake
Caught me down like a killer shark
It's like a railroad running right through my heart
Jekyll and hyde the way i behave
Feel like i'm running on an empty gauge
Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Heart beats silly like a big bass drum
Losing all equilibrium
It's so hard in the middle of the week
Maybe this woman's just all i need
Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
'fatuate me baby
Spirits soar when i'm by her side
She put a little love in this heart of mine
Maybe i'm lucky, maybe i'm freed
Maybe this woman's just all i need
Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Rev it up

8. _ This Old Heart Of Mine
(brian holland, lamont dozier, eddie holland, sylvia moy, 1966)
This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times.
Each time you break away, feel you're gone to stay.
Lonely nights that come, memories that go,
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more.
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love i feel inside,
'cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if i'm coming or going
But i love you, yes i do.
I love you; this old heart weeps for you.
I try hard to hide my hurt inside.
This old heart of mine always keeps me crying.
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete.
You're here for the day, gone for the week.
But if i want you a hundred times,
A hundred times i have you back.
I'm yours whenever you want me;
I wanna shout about it, tell the world about it
'cause i love you; this old heart weeps for you.
I love you, yes, i do.
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love i feel inside,
'cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if i'm coming or going
But i love you, yes i do.
This old heart weeps for you.
I love you; this old heart weeps for you.
I love you; yes i do.
I love you; this old heart weeps for you.

9. _ Tonight's The Night (gonna Be Alright)
(rod stewart)
Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty french gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate cause
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause i love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause i love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause i love you woman
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

10. _ My Heart Can't Tell Me No
(simon climie/dennis morgan)
I don't want you
To come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong
My weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you said it over with him
I want to believe it's true
So i let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
When the one you love's
In love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how i try to convince myself
This time i won't lose control
One look in your blue eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
I don't want you
To call me up no more
Saying you need me
You're crazy if you think
Just half your love
Could ever please me
Still i want to hold you, touch you
When you look at me that way
There's only one solution i know
You gotta stay away from me
Stay away from me
When the one you love's
In love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how i try to convince myself
This time i won't lose control
One look in your sad eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
My heart can't tell you no
I don't want you
To come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong
My weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you say its over with him
I want to believe it's true
So i let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
When the one you love's
In love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell, a living hell
When the one you love's
In love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell, a living hell

11. _ I Don't Want To Talk About It
(danny whitten, 1977)
I can tell by your eyes that you've prob'bly been cryin' forever,
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If i stay here just a little bit longer,
If i stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
If i stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart;
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If i stay here just a little bit longer,
If i stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart.
If i stay here just a little bit longer,
If i stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart.

12. _ The Killing Of Georgie
(part i and ii)
(rod stewart)
In these days of changing ways
So called liberated days
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine
Georgie boy was gay i guess
Nothin' more or nothin' less
The kindest guy i ever knew
His mother's tears fell in vain
The afternoon george tried to explain
That he needed love like all the rest
Pa said there must be a mistake
How can my son not be straight
After all i've said and done for him
Leavin' home on a greyhound bus
Cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems
Georgie went to new york town
Where he quickly settled down
And soon became the toast of the great white way
Accepted by manhattan's elite
In all the places that were chic
No party was complete without george
Along the boulevards he'd cruise
And all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved georgie boy
The last time i saw george alive
Was in the summer of seventy-five
He said he was in love i said i'm pleased
George attended the opening night
Of another broadway hype
But split before the final curtain fell
Deciding to take a short cut home
Arm in arm they meant no wrong
A gentle breeze blew down fifth avenue
Out of a darkened side street came
A new jersey gang with just one aim
To roll some innocent passer-by
There ensued a fearful fight
Screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night
The sight of blood dispersed the gang
A crowd gathered, the police came
An ambulance screamed to a halt on fifty-third and third
Georgie's life ended there
But i ask who really cares
George once said to me and i quote
He said "never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it's too late
You may never get another chance
'cos youth a mask but it don't last
Live it long and live it fast"
Georgie was a friend of mine
Oh georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie, georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh georgie stay
