Live

Seems like a dream now, it was so long ago
The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow
And i swore that i loved her and gave her a ring
The bluebird was high on the wing

Whatever happened to saturday night
Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight?
She said,"tell me, oh, tell me, was i alright?"
Whatever happened to saturday night?

The years brought the railroad
It ran by my door
Now there's boards on the windows
And dust on the floor
And she passes the time at another man's side
And i pass the time with my pride

What a tangled web we weave
Go 'round with circumstance
Someone show me how to tell the dancer
From the dance

What ever happened
To saturday night?
Choosin' a friend and loosin' a fight
She said,"tell me, oh, tell me, are you alright?"
Whatever happened to saturday night?
Whatever happened to saturday night?

The queen of diamonds let you down,
She was just an empty fable
The queen of hearts you say you never met
Your twisted fate has found you out
And it' fin'lly turned the tables
Stole your dreams and paid you with regret
Desperado
(is there gonna be anything left, is there gonna be anything?)
You sealed your fate up a long time ago
(ain't it hard when you're all alone in the center ring?)
Now there's no time left to borrow
(is there gonna be anything left?)
Only stardust
(maybe tomorrow)
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Desperado
Desperado

Well the stage was set the sun was sinkin' low down
As they came to town to face another showdown
The lawmen cleared the people from the streets
"all you blood -thirsty bystanders, will you try to
Find your seats?"
Watch 'em duelin'
Doolin-dalton
High or low ,it's all the same
Easy money and faithless women
You will never kill the pain

Go down, bill doolin, don't you wonder why
Sooner or later we all have to die?
Sooner or later, that's a stone-cold fact,
Four men ride out and only three ride back

Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone.
There's nothin' we can do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night.
Everybody wants to take a little chance,
Make it come out right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, i know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, i know.
Lord, i know.

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now.
There's too much goin' on.

This night is gonna last forever.
Last all, last all summer long.
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, i know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, i know.
Lord i know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
The moon's shinin' bright
So turn out the light, and we'll get it right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a
Heartache tonight i know.
Heartache baby,

Somebody's gonna hurt someone, (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone,
There's nothin' we can do
(everybody) everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, i know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight ,i know
Let's go.
We can beat around the bushes;
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot,
But either way, there's gonna be a
Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight i know.
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight i know.

Well baby, there you stand
With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my god, you can't believe it's happening
Again
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
And it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.
How will you start it over?
You don't know what became.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
But you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone this far
Down the line
And i know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
About the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
You just loved the boy to well, farewell
So you live from day to day, and you dream
About tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something to
Make them go away
And i could have done so many things, baby
If i could only stop my mind from wondrin' what
I left behind and from worrying 'bout theis wasted time

Ooh, another love has come and gone
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
I remeber what you told me before you went out on your own:
"sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone."
So you can get on with your search,baby, and i can
Get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find , that it wasn't really
Wasted time
Mm,hm
Oh hoo, ooh, ohh,
Ooh,ooh, mm

hotel california


On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, i saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And i was thinking to myself,
'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought i heard them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So i called up the captain,
'please bring me my wine'
He said,'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing i remember, i was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place i was before
'relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

we get up early and we work all day
We put our time in 'cause we like to stay up
All night long

We keep on grinnin' till the weekend comes
Just a pinch between your cheek and gum
All night long, all night long

Start in the morning and get the job done
Take care of bus'ness and we have some fun
All night long, all night long

We like a long neck and a good old song
Turn it up and then we sing along
Sing along
We're all stayin' up all night long

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was teminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransome in the heart
Of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were
Good in bed
She'd say, 'faster,faster. the lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?

Eager for action and bot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took
All the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills.
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
In the race

Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired
To fight about it

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lse your mind
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
Took a turn for the worst.

She said, "listen, baby.you can hear the engine
Ring.we've been up and down this highway;
Haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said,"call the doctor. i think i'm gonna crash."
"the doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around
And got lost
They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
