unknown

Long ago a lonely man stood
Off of a quiet avenue
A pretty girl in passing chanced to look
That's when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain
Pounding on the railing
The beat's a sweet, soft refrain
Of how he found you lorraine

He's rocking on a porch you used to know
Here where he swore his love was true
He sips his drink and dreams the days of old
Of when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain...

I think i'm walkin' down your street
I sense a silent shuffle to my heartbeat
Why cry, i'll just fade
Fade you away

I watch your window from the street
I guess i'll etch a vision in my daydreams of you
Of you, of you, but you

Never thought i'd be so proud-
But i will never live without you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fade
Fade you away, i will fade, fade you away
I think i'm walkin' down your street...

Oh, love me now
It's just i need you now
You see it's just
I'm so lost
And i don't know who i am.

But i know what you want
You see it in the magazine
You read, your reading
My pulse when you touch
Turns my feelinings all around

If you need a perfect lover
A magazine cover
A magazine cover
Wait, wait some body...

Friends they call me
On the phone
'cause i'm steady
Talk about unhappy homes
'cause i'm steady
Though i don't like to let it show
I got troubles of my own

We push and pull
And we fall apart
I'm not gonna die
Of a broken heart
I just don't want to
Stop and start
'cause i'm steady

Day to day is so unsure
But i'm steady
I watch people crash and soar
But i'm steady
The more they try
So hard to change
The more they stay the same

We push and pull
And we fall apart
I'm not gonna die
Of a broken heart
I just don't want to
Stop and start
'cause i'm steady

We're faced with so much
Back and forth
I don't need no ups and downs

We push and pull
And we fall apart
I'm not gonna die
Of a broken heart
I just don't want to
Stop and start
'cause i'm steady
I'm steady
I'm steady

Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging or
Rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
This is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way
Like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner
Where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
To watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
When you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
You find by you, you can see
Clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
Through other eyes on other days
While going home --
What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
To another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
With words half spoken
And thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through
A a box of rain will ease the pain
And love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
Wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
If you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
In and out the window
Like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there

Wo, wo
Wo, wo
Wo, wo
Wo, wo

Cut out
Cut out

The train was leaving at 10 after 10
I got to the station just in time to check in
I've been bumpin' my bags all around
I'm trying hard to never knock people down
But i can see i left a few on the ground
And as the train pulls away i can hear the conductor say

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
I'm not to blame (echo)
Right track wrong train... train

I read my schedule but my train wasn't there
I re-read my ticket, it said going nowhere
Everybody had the same tatooed face
All the women and men dressed in lace
I think i gotta get out of this place
I should've got off before the engineer locked the door

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
I'm not to blame (echo)
Right track wrong train, train train train hey !

"hey that's a neat tatoo you're wearing. by the way where'd you get it ?
Uh huh. say, is this an express train ? uh huh.
Snack bar ? uh huh. uh huh."

Something is happening so familiar to me
Is this the outer limits like on tv ?
Another empty town fading to gray
Another coca-cola sign on the way
Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day
And as the train pushes on,
We're headed for babylon
Oh no...

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train...
On the wrong train on the right track
We don't know if she'll ever come back

(talking) what train is this ?
Something is happening so familiar to me
Is this the outer limits like on tv ?
Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day (talking)
"yeah, yeah i'll be right there yeah. i'm gonna get the next train yeah."

Sweet wonderful you
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever i go

I never did believe in miracles
But i've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But i'm beginning to wonder why

Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
I don't have to tell you you're the only one
You make loving fun
It's all i wanna do

God help me!...i love rock-n-roll!!!
I must have jets in my sneakers,
But i'm gaining control
'cause when the spark goes
On in the guitar players
Well, it feels like rockets
Going through me

Fels so headless when
I scream and shout

My throat is aching
But my heart is hooked yeah

Til it's start to end

Help me i love rock-n-roll
I must have jets in my sneakers,
But i'm gaining control
'cause when the spark goes

Let the fun begin, it's time to let down your hair !
Pee-wee's so excited,
'cause all his friends have been invited (that's you !)
To go wacky, at pee-wee's playhouse!

There's a crazy rhythm, comin' from puppetland (what that ?)
Dirty dog, cool cat, and chicky baby are the puppet band (yeah !)
He's got a couple of talkin' fish,
And a genie who'll grant a wish -
Golly, it's cuckoo at pee-wee's playhouse !

Globey's spinnin', mr. window's grinnin',
'cause pterri's flyin' by (hello !)
The flowers are singin', the picture phone is ringin',
And the dinosaur family goes, "hi!"
Mr. kite's soarin', conky's still a snorin',
There's the flashing magic screen.
The cowntess is so classy, randy's kinda sassy -
A nuttier establishment you've never seen !
Spend the day with pee-wee and you'll see what we mean ! (come on !)

Get outta bed, there'll be no more nappin'! (wake up!)
'cause you've landed in a place where anything can happen -
Now we've given you fair warnin' !
It's gonna be that kind of mornin' -
For bein' wacky !
For getting nutty !
Golly, it's cuckoo !
At pee-wee's playhouse !

Just the other day-
I heard you walked out on her
Just the other day-
I heard it's not forever

You say, anyway-
You said it's not like before
Just the other day-

Did she let you go
Did she let you go.

Just the other day-
You lost the girl you adored
Just the other day-
You boyish love was the cause
Did she cost you pain
You could have held out for more
Just the other day-

Did she let you go
Did she let you go

I see your walking alone
Will you still talk to me
If she's not by your side anymore.

I pity the fool
Yeah, i pity the fool

That falls in love with you
And expects you to be true
That's why i pity that fool

Chorus:

In the bosom of europa
Little liza was caressed
By the music of the angels
Playing underneath her dress
She saw the great caruso
And that's when she fell in love
She'd think of him as elvis
If she knew who elvis was

Spinning round and round
You can hear her moan
She's all by herself
But she's not alone

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

By the shores of the gitchee goomee
She was floating on her bed
She was deaming of al jolson
And what she thought he said

He was looking in the mirror
He was putting on the paint
Said the hardest thing about this job
Is being what you ain't

Just an old white man
In a strange new world
Can you come out tonight
Little buffalo girl

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

From the loins of the liberace
Sprang a million little tunes
And they whirled around eliza
Like so many little moons
Every jewel held a secret
Every flourish held a clue
As he held her in a rapture
Singing i'll be seeing you

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

Pink: we don't need no education,
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone!
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all it's
Just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're
Just another brick in the wall.

he met marmelade down at old moulin rouge
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said hello hey jo wanna give it a go

Gouchi gouchi ya ya, da da
Gouchi gouchi ya ya here
Mocha chocalata ya ya, creo lady marmelade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi.

Sat in her boudoir while she freshened up,
That boy drank all that magnolia wine.
On the black satin sheets where he started to freak.

Gouchi gouchi ya ya, da da
Gouchi gouchi ya ya here
Mocha chocalata ya ya, creo lady marmelade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi.

He came through in with the money in the garden bags
Let them know we got the cake steaigt out the gate
Some women say that is for whores
But why spend mine when i can spend yours
So this is agreed for you i'm sorry
I'm gonna keep playing those cats for all that money
High heel shoes getting love from the blues
For the bad ass chicks from the roulin rouge
Hey sister, sow sister, better get that dough sister
I drink wine with dimands in the glass
By the case, thets the meaning of expensive taste

Gouchi gouchi ya ya
Mocha chocalata, creo lady marmelade

Marmelade, marmelade, marmelade

When you left me all alone at the record hop
Told me you were goin' out for a soda pop
You were gone for quite a while -- half-an-hour more
You came back and man, oh, man, this is what i saw:

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and i are through
'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! yeah!

You said it belonged to me, made me stop and think
And then i noticed yours was red; mine was baby pink
Who walked in but mary jane, lipstick all a mess?
Were you smoochin' my best friend? guess the answer's 'yes'

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and i are through
'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! boy!
Told a tale on you! man!
Told a tale on you! yeah! (fade)

I dreamt last night that he held me tight
In a bar we knew way back when -
Drinkin' sloe gin
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin

Oh then the band played "goodnight, sweetheart"
One more dance and we were ready to go.
From the spark heel boppin'
To the light of a steamed window.

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
With them smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill ain't never gone.

Then i woke up in the dark to a different sound
That was coming from my radio
They were playin' somethin' else
'sides "go, johnny, go go go"
So i turned to my sweetie, said "roll over, honey
'cause your mama's gonna show you some fun."
I said "roll over, honey, cause
The thrill ain't never gone."

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
Those smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill is never gone.
...

To my surprise, one hundred storeys high
People getting loose now, getting down on the roof
I tell ya', the folks were screaming, there was a', there was a' out of control, yeah...
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say

(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down, yeah
(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down

Satisfaction, it came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so i had to self-destruct
I tell ya', i tell ya' now, now...
The heat was on, it was a rising to the top
Well now, everybody's going strong, yeah that's when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down, yeah
(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down

Up above my head
I hear music in the air (i hear music in the air)
That makes me know
There's a party somewhere...

Satisfaction, it came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so i had to self-destruct
I tell ya', i tell ya' now, now...
The heat was on, it was a rising to the top
Well now, everybody's going strong, yeah that's when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down, yeah
(burn baby burn) disco inferno, yeah
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down

(burn baby burn) down
(burn baby burn) burn that mother down, yeah
(burn baby burn) down...
(burn baby burn)

Just can't stop...
When my spark gets hot
I just can't stop
When my spark gets hot...

You'll rescue me
Let my spirit run free
You'll rescue me
Let my spirit run free...

I'm gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local dj.
It's a rockin' rhythm record
I want my jockey to play.
Roll over beethoven, i gotta hear it again today.

You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse.
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues.
Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I think i'm rollin' arthiritis
Sittin' down by the rhythm review.
Roll over beethoven rockin' in two by two.

When i was a little girl i had a rag doll
The only doll i've ever owned
Now i love you just the way i loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day

Do i love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If i lost you would i cry
Oh how i love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well i'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No i'll never let you down
Cause it goes on and on like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it grows

Do i love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If i lost you would i cry
Oh how i love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And i love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And i love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
And i love you baby river deep mountain high

(chorus)
Hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on
Hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on

Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town
And everybody yeah, tries to put my sloopy down
Well sloopy i don't care what your daddy do
Cause' you know sloopy girl i'm in love with you
And so i say now

(chorus)

Sloopy let your hair down girl let it hang down on me
Sloopy let your hair down girl let it hang down on me
Come on sloopy, come on sloopy
Come on sloopy, come on sloopy
Well it feels so good
You know it feels so good
Shake it, shake it, shake it sloopy
Shake it, shake it, shake it yeah

(chorus)

Stone, the world is stone
It's no trick of the light
It's hard on the soul

Stone, the world is stone
Cold to the touch
And hard on the soul
In the grey of the streets
In the neon unknown
I look for a sign
That i'm not on my own
That i'm not here alone

As the still of the night
And the choke of the air
And the winners' delight
And the losers' despair
Closes in left and right
I would love not to care

Stone, the world is stone
From a faraway look
Without stars in my eyes
Through the halls of the rich
And the flats of the poor
Wherever i go

There's no warmth anymore
There's no love anymore

So i turn on my heels
I'm declining the fall
I've had all i can take
With my back to the wall
Tell the world i'm not in
I'm not taking the call

Stone, the world is stone
But i saw it once
With the stars in my eyes
When each colour rang out
In a thunderous chrome
It's no trick of the light
I can't find my way home
In a world of stone

I've got a ticket, no turning back
My destination...
The sea of trouble, the land of pain
You're sending me where it always rains
Oh reconsider, i'm begging you, some hesitation
I'm holding on to my sanity
I feel the beginning of emergency
My hands are slipping, oh please don't let me fall into

This hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before i fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

I'm on a planet without a plan
It's oh so lonely
I need to see you to get out of here
There's something deadly in this atmosphere
I'm in a desert, without a drink of your sweet water
You're my oasis in the burning sand
I'm out of danger when you touch my hand
Throw me a lifeline, i'm standing on the edge of...

This deep, dark hole that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before i fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
And though you can't see the bottom believe me it's a long way down

The gun was loaded, i didn't know
I pulled the trigger,
I heard a noise then the room went dark
I felt the bullet going in my heart
I feel so dizzy, oh please don't let me fall, don't leave me in

This hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before i fall inside of -
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

I've got a hole in my heart
You've got to fill it up with love

These are the original ones:
See the way she walks down the street?
Watch the way she shuffles her feet.
May she holds her head up high as she goes walking bye.

And she throws her hands out so fast.
And she's not just one of the pack.
My baby always the one to try the things they've never done.
And just because of that they're saying:

She's a rebel and she'll never be any good.
She's a rebel cuz she never, never does what she should.
And just because she doesn't do, what everybody else does.
That's the reason why i can give her all my love.

I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt i had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their donald duck light
And i frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Satellites buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus christ, imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The east
Or the west
This is the crap our children are learning
And oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Now the satellite's confused
'cos on saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
But, i'm not saying that the battle is won
But on saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
(repeated)

With every step i take i get one step in step with you
With every move you make i can't wait to make my move
Got your voice buzzing in my head and a rollercoaster down my spine
Well don't you know that boys will be boys
And i could never live my life without you
Sometimes you make me feel like i got a heartful of toys
Oh baby boys will be boys.

Tell me what can i do 'cause i can't change the things i said
I can't help the way i feel or what goes on inside my head
Bad news and broken dreams in time will fade away
Well don't you know that boys will be boys
But baby i'm a man since the day i found you.
Sometimes you make me feel like i got a heartful of toys
Oh baby boys will be boys.

And don't you know that girls will be girls
And i just wanna live any way that i want to
From either side of the fence vive la difference
So help me boys will be boys
Got your voice buzzing in my head and a rollercoaster down my spine
Well don't you know that boys will be boys...
Boys will... boys will be... boys will be boys...

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry,
You'd better not pout, i'm telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town.

He's making a list, he's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice.
Santa claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you are sleeping;
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake.

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry,
You'd better not pout, i'm telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town.

(repeat everything a second time)

You keep on knocking but you can
