1. _ Cassandra
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone on your bed
Pity cassandra that no one believed you
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
Sorry cassandra i misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra i didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know you're fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
Sorry cassandra i misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra i didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I watched the ship leaving harbour at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
Sorry cassandra i misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra i didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I'm sorry cassandra
I'm sorry cassandra

2. _ I Am The City
Coming through a cloud and looking at me from above
And i'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes.
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size.
And you feel a strange attraction, the air is vibrant and electrified.
Welcome to me, here i am, my arms are open wide.
Somewhere in the middle of the never-ending noise
There is a pulse, a steady rhythm of a heart that beats.
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets.
People come and take their chances,
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot
Come, make your own contribution to this melting pot.
On the street you walk, the language you talk
I am the city.
The skyline is me, and the energy
I am the city.
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells, and the turmoil of cars.
And the people, the air that you're breathing is me
Yes i am the city, you let me be.
People greet me with their lives, i am a hungry soul
And they all worship me and pay their homage, day and night.
Every day i meet a lot of tired shopping people
But come tonight they will be dancing in the neon lights.
Dazzled by the crazy music, they're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf.
And in the wind, if you listen hard, you'll hear me laugh.
On the street you walk, the language you talk
I am the city.
The skyline is me, and the energy
I am the city.
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells, and the turmoil of cars.
And the people, the parks and the squares that you see
All the sounds that you hear and the air that you're breathing is me.
Yes i am the city, you let me be.
I am the city, you let me be.
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells, and the turmoil of cars.
And the people, the air that you're breathing is me
Coming through a cloud and looking at me from above
And i'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes.
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size.
Somewhere in the middle of the never-ending noise
There is a pulse, a steady rhythm of a heart that beats.
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets.

3. _ 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

4. _ So Long
You think you're gonna make me sulk, you and your fancy car, ah-ha-ha
But i can tell you honey your tricks ain't gonna get you far, ah-ha-ha
They say that money's got a magic touch
But not to me, it doesn't mean that much
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Chasing, dazing, driving me crazy
But i'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long
You didn't have to send me flowers like you did today, ah-ha-ha
I wouldn't keep a thing from you, i gave them all away, ah-ha-ha
The girls might fall for everything you've got
But i'm not one of them, you know i'm not
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Chasing, dazing, driving me crazy
But i'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long

5. _ Lovelight
I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard
So i can't understand how it's happened, how everything's changing
This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter
You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight
How i remember the first time we went to the movies
We had decided to meet on the corner downtown
And i waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me
And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter
When you came into my life it all got so much brighter
You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight
And i feel so good
And i feel so right
And i know that you must have a lovelight
You've got lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
You've got lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight
Everything about you is right
Let it glow and let it be bright
I don't want to lose your lovelight
Shining like a star in the night

6. _ Ring Ring
I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself i sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can i go on here without you?
Yes i'm down and feeling blue
And i don't know what to do, oh-oh
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, i stare at the phone on the wall
And i sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
You were here and now you're gone
Hey did i do something wrong?
I just can't believe that i could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, i stare at the phone on the wall
And i sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

7. _ Angeleyes
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah
Last night i was taking a walk along the river
And i saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made me shiver
'cause he always used to look at me that way
Then i thought maybe i should walk right up to her and say
Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play
Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah
Sometimes when i'm lonely i sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When i thought i could never live without him
And i wonder does it have to be the same
Every time when i see him, will it bring back all the pain?
Ah-ha-ha, how can i forget that name?
Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Crazy 'bout his angeleyes
Angeleyes
He took my heart and now i pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking, i had to pay the price

8. _ When All Is Said And Done
Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor i'm to blame when all is said and done
In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor i'm to blame when all is said and done
It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed

9. _ Summer Night City (single Version)
Summer night city...
Summer night city...
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
In the sun i feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight i'm loose and fancy-free
Aa-ahhh
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city
It's elusive party feeling
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the middle
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow, when it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in the park
Summer night city

10. _ Honey Honey
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now i know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey
The way that you kiss goodnight
(the way that you kiss me goodnight)
The way that you hold me tight
(the way that you're holding me tight)
I feel like i wanna sing when you do your thing
I don't wanna hurt you, baby, i don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
But i'm gonna stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where i rather would be
Honey honey, touch me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
You look like a movie star
(you look like a movie star)
But i know just who you are
(i know just who you are)
And, honey, to say the least, you're a dog-gone beast
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
There's no other place in this world where i rather would be
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now i know what they mean, you're a love machine

11. _ The Visitors
I hear the doorbell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
I cannot move, i'm standing
Numb and frozen
Among the things i love so dearly
The books, the paintings and the furniture
Help me...
The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
And they don't dare to come here
Anymore now
But how i loved our secret meetings
We talked and talked in quiet voices
Smiling...
Now i hear them moving muffled noises coming through the door i feel i'm crackin' up
Voices growing louder, irritation building and i'm close to fainting crackin' up
They must know by now i'm in here trembling in a terror evergrowing crackin' up
My whole world is falling, going crazy there is no escaping now, i'm crackin' up
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
And now they've come to take me
Come to break me
And yet it isn't unexpected
I have been waiting for these visitors
Help me...
Now i hear them moving muffled noises coming through the door i feel i'm crackin' up
Voices growing louder, irritation building and i'm close to fainting crackin' up
They must know by now i'm in here trembling in a terror evergrowing crackin' up
My whole world is falling, going crazy there is no escaping now, i'm crackin' up
Now i hear them moving muffled noises coming through the door i feel i'm crackin' up voices growing louder, irritation building and i'm close to fainting crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
They must know by now i'm in here trembling in a terror evergrowing crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy there is no escaping now, i'm crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
Now i hear them moving muffled noises coming through the door i feel i'm crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
Voices growing louder, irritation building and i'm close to fainting crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
They must know by now i'm in here trembling in a terror evergrowing crackin' up
(i have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy there is no escaping now, i'm crackin' up

12. _ When I Kissed The Teacher
Everybody screamed when i kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed when i kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool
Nearly petrified 'cos he was taken by surprise
When i kissed the teacher
Couldn't quite believe his eyes, when i kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As i held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven when i kissed the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him i dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him i care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance when i kissed the teacher
Suddenly i took the chance when i kissed the teacher
Leaning over me, he was trying to explain the laws of geometry
And i couldn't help it, i just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him i dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him i care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day, when i kissed the teacher
All my sense had flown away when i kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As i held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven when i kissed the teacher
(i wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When i kissed the teacher
(i wanna hug, hug him)
When i kissed the teacher
(i wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When i kissed the teacher
(i wanna hug, hug him)
When i kissed the teacher
(i wanna hug, hug, hug him)

15. _ Under Attack
under attack
Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go
My resistance's running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter and it troubles me so
(you know that i'm nobody's fool)
I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby and i think i must be
Under attack, i'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause i'm falling apart
Under attack, i'm taking cover
He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should i want to, i'm not sure i know how
This is getting crazy, i should tell him so
Really let my anger show
'cause waiting at the answer to his questions is a definite "no!"
(i'm kinda flattered i suppose)
Guess i'm kind of flattered but i'm scared as hell
Staring down the deepest well
I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where i'd be if i fell
Under attack, i'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause i'm falling apart
Under attack, i'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should i want to, i'm not sure, i won't know how
Under attack, i'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody see and save a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause i'm falling apart
Under attack, i'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should i want to, i'm not sure, i won't know how

16. _ The Day Before You Came
Must have left my house at eight, because i always do
My train, i'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt i must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this i'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time i never even noticed i was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, i hid a part of me away
At five i must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, i've done it ever since i finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly i must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, i'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
The day before you came
Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go
I'm sure i had my dinner watching something on tv
There's not, i think, a single episode of dallas that i didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so i like to be in bed by then i must have read a while
The latest one by marilyn french or something in that style
It's funny, but i had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof i must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

We will always see it through
Oh i don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together

18. _ 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

19. _ Head Over Heels
I have a very good friend
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style
Some people like it, others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels
Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what i mean
Her man is one i admire
He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time when he speaks his mind
She pats his head and says, "that's all very fine
Exert that will of your own
When you're alone
Now we'd better hurry"
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels
Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what i mean
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels
Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what i mean
(she's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
And she goes
Head over heels

20. _ I Wonder (departure)
This park and these houses, old streets i have walked
Everything dear, will it be here
One day when i am returning?
My friends will get married, have children and homes
It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises
I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am i if i don't even try
I'm not a coward
Oh no, i'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes i will take it, it can't go wrong
My friends and my family, this dull little town
Buses i've missed, boys that i've kissed
Everything old and familiar
I wonder, it's frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am i if i don't even try
I'm not a coward
Oh no, i'll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes i will take it.........
Yes i will take it, it can't go wrong
