 Diamond Life » Testo della canzone [+ Aggiungere +] |
1. _ Smooth Operator
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.
Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...

2. _ When Am I Going to Make a Living
When am I gonna make a living?
It's gonna take a while before I give in.
See the people fussing and theiving.
While the sharks are wheeling and dealing.
Gotta look up and tell yourself,
there's no end to what you can do.
They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to.
This is time to start believing in yourself.
Put the blame on no-one else.
When am I gonna make a living?
It's gonna take a while before I give in.
See the people fussing and stealing.
Too many lies, no-one is achiveing.
Haven't I told you before,
"we're hungry for a life we can't afford."
There's no end to what you can do.
If you give yourself a chance to prove.
We're hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
We're hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
There's no end to what you can do.
They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to.
Start believing in yourself.
Put the blame on no-one else.
When am I gonna make a living?.
It's gonna take a while before I give in. Yes it is.
I'm sick and tired of scratching a living.
I am hungry but I'm not gonna give in.
We're hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we won't give in.
Hungry but we're gonna win.

3. _ Why Can't We Live Together
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
No more war, no more war, no more war...
Just a little peace.
No more war, no more war.
All we want is some peace in this world.
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
No matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
Everybody wants to live.
Everybody's got to be together.
Everybody wants to live.
Everybody's going to be together.
Everybody's got to be together.
Everybody wants to be together.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You're still my brother.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You're still my brother.
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
Gotta live together...
Together.

4. _ Hang On To Your Love
In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.
Take time if you're down on luck.
It's so easy to walk out on love.
Take you time if the going gets tough.
It's so precious.
So if you want it to get stronger you'd better not let go.
You've got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow.
Got to stick together, hand in glove.
Hold on tight, don't fight.
Hang on to your love.
In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.
Be brave when the journey is rough,
it's not easy when you're in love.
Don't be ashamed when the going gets tough
it's not easy,
don't give up.
If want it to get stronger you'd better not let go.
You got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow.
Got to stick together, hand in glove.
Hold on tight, don't fight.
Hang on to your love.
In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.
So if want it to get stronger you'd better not let go.
You got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow.
Got to stick together, hand in glove.
Hold on tight, don't fight.
Hang on to your love.
In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.
When you find a love, don't let it walk away.
When you find your love, you got to make it stay.
Don't let it walk away.
When you find your love, you got to make it stay.
You've got to hang on to your love.
You've got to hang on to your love.
Why are you walking away?
Why do you play these games?

6. _ Sally
Sally, you opened out your arms to all those young men.
And girl you had room,
for every one of them.
You're the only girl.
Who are the only girl on Barry and Third
Sure as hell,
you're the only one who cares.
So put your hands together for Sally.
She saved all those young men.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She the one who cared for them.
She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.
Take a look at Dave he was once seventeen,
Zoot suit and shiny shoes.
He ran around town and threw his metholated laughter.
Most of his memories drowned.
But he remembers what his mother used to shout.
She used to shout,
"One day, surely son,
the street are gonna tire you out."
So put your hands together for Sally.
She's the one who cared for him.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She was there when his luck was running thin.
She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.
Tommy had a wife and family,
but the needle came between the love and the hard times.
Thank God for Sally,
she was there through the misery.
Just a place to lay his head.
Just about better off than dead.
She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day...
Vince, came up from the country.
Couldn't even find himself a room.
Thinking about his babies.
They're further away than the moon.
With no money but his pride in his pocket.
There's really no way he can go home.
There's a picture of his woman in his locket.
Most of all he doesn't want to be alone.
So put your hands together for Sally.
She's the one who cared for him.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She was there when his luck was running thin.
She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.

7. _ Cherry Pie
Son of a gun...
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart.
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart.
When I met you boy, you were as sweet as cherry pie.
That smiling eye you were as wild as Friday night.
I should have known how ever hard you try.
Change'd come and strangle it.
It was bound to die.
You were sweet as cherry pie,
wild as Friday night.
Sweet as cherry pie,
wild as Friday night.
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart in two.
Gotta find out what I meant to you, oh boy.
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart in two.
Where were you just when I needed you?
You gave me your soul for at least a day.
"Listen boy, there was a time when I wanted you to stay."
You'll know the cost, it's you who's gonna pay.
I'm stronger now, I loved you then.
I'll ask you anyway.
You were sweet as cherry pie,
wild as Friday night.
Sweet as cherry pie,
wild as Friday night.
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart in two.
Where were you just when I needed you, boy?
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart in two.
I needed you...
You teased me.
You broke my heart.
You broke my heart.
You were the only one.
You were the only one.
You're a son of a gun.
You were the only one.
You were the only one.
Oh boy, you broke my heart.
Sweet as cherry pie.
Sweet as cherry pie.
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart in two.
Gotta find out what I meant to you, oh boy.
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
Where were you just when I needed you?
Gotta find out what I meant to you, boy.
Where were you when I needed you?
You were the only one.
You were the only one.
Son of a gun.
You were the only one.
I'm feeling strong,
I loved you then.
So I ask you anyway.
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You broke my heart.
Gotta find out...
gotta find out what I meant to you.
You teased me.
You were the only one.
You were the only one.
Son of a gun.
You were the only one.
You were the only one.

8. _ Frankie's First Affair
Frankie, didn't I tell you,
"You got the world in the palm of your hand."
Frankie, didn't I tell you,
"They're running at your command."
You know the chains as if they're your invention.
It wasn't your intension,
Frankie,
to fall in the trap you made.
It's a crying shame.
You left a trail of destruction.
Heartbreaker, you know now,
they really did care cause it's your first affair.
Frankie, didn't I tell you,
"The lion would come in for a kill,"
Frankie, didn't I say,
"it had power over your sweet skill."
So where is the laughter you spat right in their faces?
Didn't I tell you,
Frankie,
that you might run out of aces.
It's a crying shame.
You couldn't win the game, heartbreaker.
This time it's your first affair.
Frankie...
Frankie's first affair.
It's your time to cry, heartbreaker.
Frankie, Frankie's first affair.
It's your time to cry.
It's a crying shame, heartbreaker.
You know now,
they really did care cause it's your first affair.
Frankie,
Frankie's first affair.
Frankie,
Frankie's first affair.
It's your turn,
to cry.
It's your turn,
to cry.
It's your turn,
to cry.
It's your turn,
to cry.
Don't you realise they really,
really,
really did care.
The party's over,
now you discover.
It's your turn to cry,
and don't you realise,
it's the toughest game.
The party's over,
it's your turn to cry

9. _ I Will Be Your Friend
I know that lately,
things haven't been so good.
I've always said,
"that if I could ever help you, I would."
Ohhhh hooo i hooo. Ohhhh hooo i hooo.
I love you for a thousand years.
Ohhhh hooo i hooo. Ohhhh hooo i hooo.
I'm here to wipe away the tears.
I will be your friend,
until the end of time.
I will be your friend.
I'm here to make you smile.
When your falling apart I pick up each piece,
and build a wall around your dream.
The punches to you heart,
melt away when you never thought they'd heal.
"So trust in me!"
These are the words I tattoo on you.
If Hercules can't pick you up now,
then I really am true.
I will be your friend,
until the end of time.
I will be your friend.
I'm here to make you smile.
Ohhhh hooo i hooo. Ohhhh hooo i hooo.
I love you for a thousand years.
Ohhhh hooo i hooo. Ohhhh hooo i hooo.
I'm here to wipe away the tears.
"You've got so much to give,"
I'll tell you just when you need to know.
"Get out and live,"
I'll pick you up when your feeling low.
So here's my hand,
trust in me I really am true.
You've got to understand,
there's nothing I wouldn't do.
I will be your friend,
until the end of time.
I will be your friend.
I'm here to make you smile.
I will be your friend,
until the end of time.
I will be your friend.
I'm here to make you smile.
"You've got so much to give!"
"Get out and live!"
I will be your friend,
until the end of time.
I will be your friend.
I'm here to make you smile.
The punches to you heart...
Take my hand.
When you're falling apart...
You've got to understand.
