1. _ Eagle
They came flying from far away, now i'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but i understand
And i dream i'm an eagle
And i dream i can spread my wings
Flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that i please
As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what i feel, we climb higher and higher
Am i dreaming or is it all real?
Is it true i'm an eagle?
Is it true i can spread my wings?
Flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky (i'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that i please
And i dream i'm an eagle
And i dream i can spread my wings
Flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky (i'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
High, high, i'm a bird in the sky (i'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that i please

2. _ Fernando
Can you hear the drums fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And i'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, fernando
Though i never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando
Now we're old and grey fernando
And since many years i haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the rio grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, fernando
Though i never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, fernando
Though i never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando
Yes, if i had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando...

3. _ The Name Of The Game
I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted
I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But i think i can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So i wanna know......
What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way i do?
Tell me please, 'cause i have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What i'm trying to conceal
If i trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if i said i care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know......
The name of the game
I have no friends, no-one to see
And i am never invited
Now i am here, talking to you
No wonder i get excited
Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So i wanna know......
What's the name of the game?
(your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(got a feeling you give me no choice)
(but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way i do?
Tell me please, 'cause i have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What i'm trying to conceal
If i trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if i said i care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know......
Oh yes i wanna know......
The name of the game
(i was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(but i think i can see in your face)
(that it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way i do?
(got a feeling you give me no choice)
(but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(i was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(but i think i can see in your face)
(that it means a lot)

4. _ Take A Chance On Me
If you change your mind, i'm the first in line
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey i'm still free

Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
Take a chance on me
(that's all i ask of you honey)

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'cos you know i've got
So much that i wanna do, when i dream i'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But i think you know

If you change your mind, i'm the first in line
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey i'm still free

Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
Take a chance on me

Take a chance on me
Oh you can take your time baby, i'm in no hurry, know i'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, i ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that i waste my time but i can't get you off my mind
No i can't let go
'cos i love you so
If you change your mind, i'm the first in line
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey i'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

5. _ Does Your Mother Know?
You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but i can't take a chance on a chick like you
That's something i couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child
Well i can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And i can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe i'm not the one
Now you're so cute, i like your style
And i know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child
Well i can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And i can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
Well i can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And i can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

6. _ Waterloo
My my, at waterloo napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and i have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo
My my, i tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could i ever refuse
I feel like i win when i lose
Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
And how could i ever refuse
I feel like i win when i lose
Waterloo - i was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - couldn't escape if i wanted to
Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - finally facing my waterloo

7. _ Chiquitita
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How i hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, i'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now i see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and i know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and i cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and i know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and i cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

8. _ Super Trouper
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But i won't feel blue
Like i always do
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
I was sick and tired of everything
When i called you last night from glasgow
All i do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
(wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine i was glad to hear you're coming
(glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly i feel all right
(and suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different
When i'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But i won't feel blue
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still i'm thinking about you only
(still i'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when i think i'm going crazy
(think i'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright
(you'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When i'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But i won't feel blue
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
So i'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me i'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the
Super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But i won't feel blue
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like i always do
(sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

9. _ Gimme Gimme Gimme (a Man After Midnight)
Half past twelve
And i'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How i hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as i look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the phone
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win
It's so different from the world i'm living in
Tired of t.v.
I open the window and i gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

10. _ Money Money Money
I work all night, i work all day, to pay the bills i have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams i have a plan
If i got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, i'd fool around and have a ball...
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things i could do
If i had a little money
It's a rich man's world
A man like that is hard to find but i can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free i bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So i must leave, i'll have to go
To las vegas or monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things i could do
If i had a little money
It's a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things i could do
If i had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world

11. _ Dancing Queen
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

12. _ I Have A Dream
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything i see
I believe in angels
When i know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - i have a dream
I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything i see
I believe in angels
When i know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - i have a dream
I'll cross the stream - i have a dream
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything i see
I believe in angels
When i know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - i have a dream
I'll cross the stream - i have a dream

13. _ Two For The Price Of One
He had what you might call a trivial occupation
He cleaned the platforms of the local railway station
With no romance in his life
Sometimes he wished he had a wife
He read the matrimonial advertising pages
The cries for help from different people, different ages
But they had nothing to say
At least not until the day
When something special he read
This is what it said:
If you dream of the girl for you
Then call us and get two for the price of one
We're the answer if you feel blue
So call us and get two for the price of one
If you dream of the girl for you
(if you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you)
Then call us and get two for the price of one
(why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one)
We're the answer if you feel blue
(we may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two)
So call us and get two for the price of one
(why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one)
He called the number and a voice said, "alice whiting"
The voice was husky and it sounded quite exciting
He was amazed at his luck
The purest streak of gold he'd struck
He said, "i read your ad, it sounded rather thrilling
I think a meeting could be mutually fulfilling
Why don't we meet for a chat
The three of us in my flat
I can't forget what i read"
This is what it said:
If you dream of the girl for you
Then call us and get two for the price of one
We're the answer if you feel blue
So call us and get two for the price of one
If you dream of the girl for you
(if you are dreaming of someone who might be right for you)
Then call us and get two for the price of one
(why don't you call us and you'll get two for the price of one)
We're the answer if you feel blue
(we may be the answers to your problem, a chance with we two)
So call us and get two
(why don't you call us and you'll get two)
For the price of one...
She said, "i'm sure we must be perfect for each other
And if you doubt it you'll be certain when you meet my mother"

14. _ On And On And On
I was at a party and this fella said to me
"something bad is happening, i'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights"
I said, "who are you to talk about impending doom?"
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, "i'm a minister, a big shot in the state"
I said, "i just can't believe it, boy i think it's great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?"
He said, "keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'til the night is gone
Over in the corner i could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So i took advantage of the fact that i'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, "who am i and who are you and who are we?
What's our situation, do we have some time for us?"
I said i was not exactly waiting for the bus
He said, "if you're going somewhere can i come along?"
I said, "keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'til the night is gone
On and on and on
'til the night is gone

15. _ Thank You For The Music
I'm nothing special, in fact i'm a bit of a bore
If i tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But i have a talent, a wonderful thing
'cause everyone listens when i start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All i want is to sing it out loud
So i say
Thank you for the music, the songs i'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, i ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So i say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says i was a dancer before i could walk
She says i began to sing long before i could talk
And i've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, i'm a fan
So i say
Thank you for the music, the songs i'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, i ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So i say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
I've been so lucky, i am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
So i say
Thank you for the music, the songs i'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, i ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So i say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
