2. _ Shane
I dreamed I lived? the whole thing ? last night
Somehow I still don't seem to get it right
I watched the dusty wasted skyes
? woman ?? ??? ? Pick me up and fill my? ?eyes
A. Shane! Can't you hear me calling you?
Shane if I thought that you would still be riding through.
I said shane.
Please take me back there with you.
Take a tune/tour. [End of A.]
I'm watching Marian as she let go.
I felt I was ? a timeless zone
It's hard for anyone to understand her pain.
You got to see the man to understand he wouldn't change.
[Repeat A twice.]

3. _ Ego
All the time I try to reason with you
But I just can't seem to make you understand
Nothing seems to ever really get through
Can't you feel emotions like any other man
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
Look at how you wanted all of my tears
Any time you felt you needed security
All the nights you let me out on my own
That's the thing that you just can't give back to me
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
You're only plan it seems is look after number one
You just can't comprehend what it means to love someone
Stay away, get lost, get out of my life
Can't you see the changes now and at last I'm free
Any plans I have just don't include you
And that's the one thing you won't take from me
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
Every time I tried to reason with you
But it seemed that I never made you understand
Nothing ever seemed to ever really get through
Can't you feel emotions like any other man
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego

4. _ Sparks
Caught in the times we live in
Caught in the times we know
It's taking a real hard line
You feel you're becoming a number
Nobody needs your trouble
Gives you the time of day
But kicking the world behind
Won't make it go away
'cause we're strong
And we're big enough to take
Whatever time will bring
We've only one life
And we've gotta lot to give
There's only one time
And we've got to make or break it
Let the Sparks fly out again
Let the feelings tell you when
Let the Sparks fly out again
Flick of the fingers
And they'll cut you down for sure
You gotta be hard sometimes
And so you pretend it's nothing
Finding what to believe in
That's what it's hard to do
Boy there was another time
I saw the best in you
'cause we're strong
And we're big enough to take
Whatever time will bring

5. _ Cambodia
Written by Ricky & Marty Wilde
Well he was Thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
Ans as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia
But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - Don't cry now - No tears now
And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again

6. _ Dream Sequence
Shadows across the floor
Memories fading in
Voices are far away
Now it can all begin
"New York are on the 'phone
They want you here today"
"Was it a fashion show ?"
"Sorry they wouldn't say"
There's a world full of dreams
Lying on a pillow
There's a world no-one knows
Wrapped up in her mind
(It's all imagination)
Now she is back in school
(It's the revolution)
Staring at broken glass
(Do what we want you to)
Flicking the flies away
(Total autonomy)
Watching the trains go past
Fighting the Indian war
Cochise is closing in
Now she can touch his face !
Riding so close to him
There's a world full of dreams
Lying on a pillow
There's a world no-one's seen
Living in her mind
Sailing across a sea
Images on a screen
Watching the boats go by
Red merging into green
Roxanne don't run away
(You've been naughty girl)
I told you not to go
(Stay in the garden)
Why do you run away ?
Mommy will sorry so

7. _ Stay Awhile
I'm touching your face and I
Can't get very far
You travel a million miles
Always in the stars
And crossing the clouds
A fading moon
Whispered "It's goodbye"
But as it starts to die
Stay awhile
Show your love
Child among the stars
Just stay awhile
Lay with me
Tell me who you are
I've never believed in much
What can I be worth ?
I'm always a shooting star
Falling down to earth
I prayed in my heart
You'd never know
Feelings wouldn't show
But now before you go
Stay awhile
Show your love
Child among the stars
Just stay awhile
Lay with me
Tell me who you are
And crossing the clouds
A fading moon
Whispers "It's goodbye"
But as it starts to die
Stay awhile
Show your love
Child among the stars
Just stay awhile
Lay with me
Show me who you are
Just stay awhile

8. _ Kids In America
Looking out a dirty old window.
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by.
I sit here alone and I wonder why.
Friday night and everyone's moving.
I can feel the heat but it's soothing.
Heading down, I search for the beat in this dirty town.
Down town the young ones are going.
Down town the young ones are growing.
We're the kids in America.
Everybody live for the music-go-round.
Bright lights the music get faster.
Look boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance.
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance.
Hot-shot, give me no problems.
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind.
You know life is cruel, life is never kind.
Kind hearts don't make a new story.
Kind hearts don't grab any glory.
We're the kids in America.
Everybody live for the music-go-round.
Come closer, honey that's better.
Got to get a brand new experience.
Feeling right.
Oh don't try to stop baby.
Hold me tight.
Outside a new day is dawning.
Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere.
I don't want to go baby.
New York to East California.
There's a new wave coming I warn you.
We're the kids in America.
Everybody live for the music-go-round.
We're the kids in America.

9. _ Can You Come Over
Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over
Meet me tonight
I've been sitting here alone
Looking down this telephone
Thinking things I'd really love to say to you
Oh, it's true
I can't get enough of how you love
That's the truth I swear to you
Can you come over
Can you come over - think of what we could do
If you decide to, if you're alive to
What I want from a guy like you
Darlin, can you come over
Can you come over - meet me tonight
Watching movies on TV
Never does a thing for me
I get bored just living here and hanging 'round
Toss a coin it's heads or tails
If I run a bath or do my nails
What's it really matter when I'm far away from you
If you come over
If you come over - I could be good for you
Wouldn't you please me
It could be easy
Just stay here for a night or two
Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over - meet me tonight
I'm the girl who waits for you
I'm the girl who needs you too
I'm the girl who wants you tonight
Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over
Meet me tonight

10. _ Dancing In the Dark
We were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start
He stepped into the night
With his heart open wide
I was standing there
With nowhere left to hide
He looked to me like a shadow
Moving in the night
Then he took a hold of my hand
In the soft moonlight
And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start
I could hear his heartbeat
Pounding in the night
I could feel his body
Starting to be kind
With his soft red lips
Made up my mind
His soothing kiss
Was all I desired
And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start
We kissed and touched
But it wasn't enough
To stop this wheel of fire
One step at a time
And I knew he was mine
We were lost in the heat of desire
And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start
No way
No way at all
To stop us moving closer
Each look in his eyes
Made my heart beat in time
Over and over and over and over
And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start
And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start

11. _ Chequered Love
You say everything's alright
I say nothing can go right, yeah
Oh what a game you can play
Sad days add to confusion
Sad ways end in dillusion, yeah
That's the name of the game
Well I know your love is rough
And the road you take is tough
But I just can't get enough
Chequered love
Touch me, do what you want to
Say no, then, I just need you
Babe, your gonna drive me insane
You are man for all seasons
You are man with no reasons, yeah
You're the man with no pain
Well I know your love is rough
And the road you take is tough
But I just can't get enough
Chequered love
Oh I can't let go
Oh I can't let go
'cause I need you so tonight
You say everything's alright
I say nothing can go right, yeah
Oh what a game you can play
Sad days add to confusion
Sad ways end in dillusion, yeah
That's the name of the game
Well I know your love is rough
And the road you take is tough
But I just can't get enough
Chequered love
Oh I can't let go
Oh I can't let go
'cause I need you so tonight

12. _ Sing It Out For Love
They've been out on the road so long
Now they're working their way through all the dirty towns
Singing their hearts out
To the drunks who haunt the bars
Still the ghosts will keep on calling
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again
Guess she heard through a million tears
"When you sing you should brush the hair out of your eyes"
"Come and sit by me girl
Would you like to share my beer?"
Feel his hand slip down her shoulder
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again
But she's lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
And knowing she lost the life
She could have had
Watching trucks as they roll on by
And she'll wave as they disappear around the bend
Shrugging her shoulders
And she'll head back to the bar
"Cue the band" the boss is shouting
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again
But she's lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
She's thinking about the good times
Never had
And wondering why the bad times
Get so bad

14. _ Child Come Away
Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
I read the story about a week ago
They found her on the beach that night
They thought the light had gone out of her eyes
and no-one thinks she'll ever be right
She was so full of her life
Happy with the people she knew
But then no-one can tell
Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
Guess all they found were some marks in the sand
A message saying 'She is mine'
Nobody touched her as she got in the car
Well nobody dares to anytime
She was so full of her life
The girl that everybody once knew
But now no-one can tell
Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why
And when they read a story out to the judge
I heard they had to turn away
It's all over town
I saw her face in the back of a car
As they were speeding out of town
She's got a mark on the side of her face
that no-one's ever seen around
And what she is or what she's become
I guess the town will never know
Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why

17. _ Shoot To Disable
Mirrored in your face
Is a look that says it all
Boy I'm slow
I've been uncertain
Just couldn't be sure
Now I know
You say it's over
But just how long have you known
(You better go now)
But as you leave me
Shoot to disable
Shoot to disable
Maybe I got careless
Maybe it's true I ran too fast
But on recollection it didn't do much
So I pass
You're such a hard man
Why can't you take steady aim
(Just get it over with)
Don't fool around now
Shoot to disable
Shoot to disable
Oh what a fool I was to love

18. _ Back Street Joe
Dancing with Back Street Joe
That was a time I loved
When we were kids so young
So long ago
Dancing with Back Street Joe
Back in a time I loved
We used to move all night
That was a time to know
There comes a time in your life
When you just want to break free
But now I want to go back
I want to have him with me
Dancing with Back Street Joe
We used to want that sound
And everytime it played
We used to hang around
There was music and
There was rhythm and
There was something I can't explain
Out of nowhere he'd
Move his shoulder
And make you feel you could
Live again
Then came a moment in time
When I just had to be free
But now I want to go back
I want to go back and see
That look in his eyes again
And now on the streets
I look for you Joe
Dancing with Back Street Joe
Back in the streets I love
We used to dance all night
Was it so long ago ?

19. _ Young Heroes
Everyone round keeps putting us down, let it go
It's the same old play in a grown up day
It's a stinging sensation
Hanging round on every corner
Where, all the young kids I know want to be
We only want to stay young, we only want to be free
He doesn't want to be you, she doesn't want to be me
We're all young heroes
We're all young heroes
Shouted down pushed and we're gettin' real bushed
Just have your say and we'll do it your way
If it makes you fell better
Nothing much to add to what I say
'cause I know just how it fells to be
We only want to stay young, we only want to be free
He doesn't want to be you, she doesn't want to be me
We're all young heroes
We're all young heroes
We only want to be free
