1. _ Thousand Eyes
Chorus
The night has a thousand eyes
And they're all on you
The night has a thousand ears
Listening to your cries
Let it work its magic
Let it work its magic
The night has a thousand eyes
Verse 1
You, you had to slip away
After all that spark
You, said all that you could say
And slipped into the dark
I could not let you go
Alone into the night
I had to let you know
The magic there, in the night air
Chorus
The night has a thousand eyes
And they're all on you
The night has a thousand ears
Listening to your cries
Let it work its magic
Let it work its magic
The night has a thousand eyes
Verse 2
You, somewhere out in the dark
Runs a wounded heart
You, stumbling in the night
In the air of after light
You take along the fears
Did you waste these years,
And did they warn you
Of the night zone all alone
Sometimes it takes a fight
To keep everything on track,
And sometimes it takes a starry night
To bring the magic back
This was the time
And this was the place
With starlight on your face
And the moon on the rise,
The night has a thousand eyes

2. _ Heartbreaker
One look and you know she's trouble
Ruby red lips and flashing eyes
Can't resist, you just gotta have her
Ooh it's a feeling that you can't disguise
You're booked on a one way ticket
I can tell you that you're going nowhere
She's a drug and you're not gonna kick it
Heartbreak city, she'll take you there
I know i've been here before
I read the script, i know the score
There's no rules, she plays her own game
She's a real heartbreaker and she brings on the rain
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Thunder, can't you hear it crashing?
Storm clouds are waiting for you up ahead
Lightning, can't you see it flashing?
You haven't listened to a word i've said
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (she's a real heartbreaker, a heartbreaker)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

3. _ Hello
Hello hello, it's great to see you once again
It's been so long,
We were such friends,
Long time ago
Hello hello, your smiling face
Your warm embrace,
We've been apart,
Far too long,
It felt so wrong
Nice to know, you're coming over
Nice to know, the wait is over
Hello hello, is that a smile on your face
Here's a kiss,
Just in case,
This one's for you
Hello hello, it's great to see you once again
It's been so long,
We were such friends,
Long long time ago

4. _ Honest Men
We're just a stone's throw
From burning hellfire
Does anybody know,
Where did all the heroes go?
We've had our fill of
This gallery of scoundrels,
The leaders of the world,
Those power hungry liars
Rise up and sound the sirens,
Send out the searching powers,
All we need is a few good men
Send the s.o.s. and red alerts
All across the universe
Calling your honest men?
S.o.s. emergency,
Sinking fast and getting worse.
Where's your honest men?
In some village, far away,
Or in a little town pub.
High on a mountain top
There must be an honest man
Calling all honest men
Throw out the tyrants,
The aged fat cats
Outlived their usefulness
They have led us to this mess
Make them answer,
Hold them to their promises,
And throw them in the street
If they won't tell the truth
S.o.s. and red alert
All across the universe,
Calling all honest men
S.o.s. emergency,
Sinking fast and getting worse,
Where's your honest men?
To your stations,
Man the ramparts,
The barricades
We need new heroes urgently
We need a few good honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
Call to him
He lives next door,
Across the street
On the upper floor.
It's our only hope we need him now
Send the s.o.s. and red alert,
All across the universe,
Calling all honest men
S.o.s. emergency,
Sinking fast and getting worse,
Where's your honest men
Strike a blow,
Save the ship,
We need a few good honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
S.o.s. across the universe
Where's your honest
We need your honest
Calling all honest men
Calling out all over the world,
Where's your honest men
Looking out all over the world,
We need your honest men

5. _ Easy Street
I've had enough of forever being told what to say and do
I've had enough
I've had enough being always pushed around by the likes of you
I'm making some plans of my own now
And you know what you can do
I'm so tired
Tired of the man giving me such a hard, hard time
I'm so tired
You make a man work so hard every day,
Don't you know it's a crime
Always got to hit the deadline
When will i ever get some peace of mind
I'll find a girl that's rich and pretty
I'll get myself the key to the big city
Find a way to make some money
Move into the land of milk and honey
Everything's sweet and life's a treat
Feel the heat on easy street
I'm movin' on
Movin' on to a place that i see all the time in my dreams
I'm movin' on
Gone, gone, gone from the misery
I've taken all that i can now
Gonna take my time on easy street
I'll find a girl that's rich and pretty
Get myself the key to the big city
Find a way to make some money
Move into the land of milk and honey
Everything's sweet and life's a treat
Feel the heat on easy street
I've found a girl that's rich and pretty
Got myself the key to the big city
Found a way to make some money
Moved into the land of milk and honey
Everything's sweet and life's a treat
Feel the heat on easy street
(repeat)

6. _ Heart Of Hearts
Verse
They say there's gold under the stone
They say there's fire in the ice
They say that love is crazy it's true
But what can a poor man do
When he's burned by someone like you
Chorus
In your heart of hearts
Is this romance over
In your heart of hearts
Is there nothing i can do
You made a fool out of this desperate lover
In your heart of hearts
Don't push me away
In your heart of hearts
Don't you want me to stay
Verse
Days of love mean nothing to you
Night of romance and fire
What went wrong with this paradise
What turned the gold to stone
What turned the fire to ice
Chorus
In your heart of hearts
Is this romance over
In your heart of hearts
Is there nothing i can do
You made a fool out of this desperate lover
In your heart of hearts
Don't push me away
In your heart of hearts
Don't you want me to stay
Verse
You can take the fire away
But the flame burns hotter
You can take the love away
But the memory's stronger every day
Can't stop it, can't help it
I'll never forget about you

7. _ Kiss Me Red
I could paint your picture in the sky tonight
Your lips stick on the moon in pastel light
Baby, it's full and white
Honey, it's full tonight
Chorus
So kiss me red
Kiss me rouge
Kiss me rough
Kiss me smooth
Oh
I could paint your picture in my room tonight
Your body's on my mind, it's full and white
Oh, but you're far away
And what i wouldn't pay
Chorus
To kiss you red
Kiss you rouge
Kiss you rough
Kiss you smooth
Oh
It's black out
And i'm afraid of the dark
So i light a candle to replace your heart
What i wouldn't give to have you here in my bed
Chorus
To kiss me red
Kiss me rouge
Kiss me rough
Kiss me smooth

8. _ Every Night
I've got rocket for your parade
Heavy breathing for you made in the shade
I've got an itch that just won't quit
I see in that dress that just don't fit
I see you walking with that twobit boy
I see you laughing but i'm no toy
Chorus
I know what you do every night every night
I know what you do when you turn out the light
I see what you do every night every night
And i want you to do it to me
You learned that jive on mtv
That mumbo jumbo just don't work on me
Slam bang baby ala kazam
Don't disrespect me i'm a stand-up man
I see you laughing when you slam the door
I see you with him i can't take any more
Chorus
I know what you do every night every night
I know what you do when you turn out the light
I see what you do every night every night
And i want you to do it to me
Come to your senses baby
Don't hold out
Someday you'll want me don't act so proud
We've got a mutual circumstance
Come on, hold on, give me a chance

9. _ Once Upon A Time
Meeting you in the park and talking in the pouring rain
(oh what a time we had)
Running home in the dark and pretending it was all a game
(oh what a time)
Those were the days, those were the days
Memories of you have really left a scar
And all that i can do now is to love you from afar
'cos everything was fine
That once upon a time
Asking you if you'd stay, not believing that you might
(oh what a time we had)
Missing you through the day, dreaming of you through the night
(oh what a time)
Those were the days, those were the days
Though there's no denying that you're nowhere around
I can't help myself from looking for your face amongst the crowd
'cos everything was fine, that once upon a time
Have to leave the past behind me and get on the right track
Though there's nothing i can say that will ever bring you back
But everything was fine, that once upon a time
I wish i knew for how much longer this misery will last
Can't control these feelings, i'm still living in the past
'cos everything was fine, that once upon a time
I've got to build my life again, try to find somebody new
But i know inside my heart of hearts there'll be no replacing you
But everything was fine, that once upon a time

10. _ For The Love Of A Woman
No one could say
How she caught my eyes
To this day,
I don't know why
Oh well her eyes
So much like diamonds,
And her heart
So much like gold
I knew that i'd
Win her in time,
When i felt her heart
Beat close to mine
And once in her arms,
Then i knew anything i would do,
Just for the love of a woman,
Just for the love of a woman
I prayed that i'd never have to walk alone
I'd have a love of my own
I thank my stars,
I found an angel
Never again
Will i walk alone
She brought a light
Into my heart,
Like the brightest star,
That's ever shone
Money and gold
To a king,
When you're alone,
Don't mean a thing
And once in her arms
Then i know anything i would do,
Just for the love of a woman,
Just for the love of a woman,
I prayed that i'd never have to walk alone.
Now i have a love of my own
I could paint a masterpiece,
I could walk through fire
I could shout it from the roof,
From the smallest flame to a fire this love has grown,
Just for the love of a woman,
Money and gold mean nothing
Never again will i have to walk alone,
Now i have a love of my own
Love of my own, love of my own
I can't face this world all alone
