unknown

A place, where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it xanadu

And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in xanadu

A million lights are dancing
And there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
Eternally

Chorus:
Xanadu - Xanadu (now we are here)
In xanadu
Xanadu - Xanadu (now we are here)
In xanadu

Xanadu, your neon lights will shine for you
For you Xanadu

The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know, They are in Xanadu

The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu

A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star, an everlasting world and you're
Here with me eternally

Chorus

Now that i'm here, now that you're near in xanadu

I saw an ant devour sherman mountain.
Slip across the floor in the river of honey.
I saw the locust drinking from a fountain.
It smiled at me as i paid my money.

Chorus
Caus' i'm a witness, witness, see the writing on the wall.
I'm a witness, witness, i say i've seen it all.
Caus' i'm a witness, witness, i've got all the proof.
I'm a witness, witness, i swear to tell the truth.

I saw her buying in the face of fashion.
Who'll believe with her little white lies.
I saw her arrive on my bed of passion.
But i never saw a look of love in her eyes.

Chorus

Some days my eyes can see for miles and miles around.
Some nights my dreams just take me deep underground.
My minds a time machine, i'm in the future and the past.
The past... scrape away...

(violin solo)

Chorus

Chorus

Witness, witness, witness
Witness, witness, witness
Witness, witness, witness
Witness, witness, witness

Early morning day is dawning
Cooling towers and factory gates
Dirty streets and laughing people
Skinny dogs and beer crates

Hello my old friend
Hello my old friend

Sad canals green black water
Somewhere bicycles and beds
Wet and windy afternoons
And pigeons coo in garden sheds

Hello my old friend
Hello my old friend

High-rise tower blocks with panoramic
Views of trains and coal
Tiehead railway tracks tread faithfully
The gas works to behold

Hello my old friend
Hello my old friend

Just to see the sunset
Pretty rainbows over your majestic towers
To feel your earth beneath my feet
Here i could stand for hours and hours

(young girls sing fara jacka in the background)

Big machines that once were champions
Turn to dust under the sky
Broken windows choking chimneys
Factory walls for miles and miles

By bye my old friend
By bye my old friend

Just to see the sunset
Pretty rainbows over your majestic towers
To feel your earth beneath my feet
Here i could stand for hours and hours

There goes the fantasy
There goes the make believe
You try to keep a secret
But now you better believe it
Oh, oh, oh ...

Chorus: i know that you know that
It's a matter of fact
I know that you know that
It's a matter of fact

There is no mystery
That's how it is to me
The more i think about it
There ain't no doubt about it
No, no, no ...

Chorus

Your full of complication
There is no communication
I don't know how it started
But soon we both departed
Whoa, oh, oh ...

Chorus

There is no mystery
That's how it is to me
The more i think about it
There ain't no doubt about it
Oh, oh, oh ...

Chorus

I know that you know that
I know that you know that
I know that you know that
I know that you know that

Chorus

Video, eo, eo, eo, eo, eo, eo
The satellites that search the night they twinkle like a star
They send their love from up above down to my vtr
The world is at my fingers under control

Ahhhumm, video, eo, eo, uh ho
Play it one more time
Video, eh oh, got the world on my tv

I see that rock and roll and all those old time movies
They beam across the sky together in electric dreams
I just sit here on my end i'll have it all

Ahhhumm, video, eo, eo, uh ho
Play it one more time
Video, eh oh, got the world on video

I see the shadows in the twilight as they dance, la, la, la
Video madness comes upon me like a trance in the dark
So i just stay right here and the world is okay, okay, okay

Ahhhumm, video, eo, eo, uh ho
Play it one more time
Video, eh oh, got the world on video, oh, oh, oh oh oh

And look at me now, i'm burning up the steely wires
Look at me now, i'm burning up the steely wires
Look at me now, now, now, now, now...........

I traced the footsteps through the multi-colored avenues
That wind their way down to the sea
I see the birds that fly beneath the darkened sky
They are the messengers of dreams

Mandalay, now i know what you try to be
Mandalay, now i wish you were here with me

Pages filled with science fiction
Without fear of contradiction
Walking through the fields of evergreen
I see a turn and walk away
And from the east there comes a breeze
That flows up high into the blue

Mandalay, now i know what you try to be
Mandalay, now i wish you were here with me

The sound of retribution
In total disillusion, mandalay

Mandalay, now i know what you try to be
Mandalay, now i wish you were here with me

Admidst the confusion
The only conclusion

Mandalay of the misty eyes
Have gazed into the coming door
The leaves that turn to gold and brown
I've watched them falling to the ground

Mandalay, now i know what you try to be
Mandalay, now i wish you were here with me

Gee, i wish it was ten o'clock
Come on baby it's time to rock
I'm so glad i've got you here
Makes me happy when you are here

Chorus
(ooh-whee) this feelin's killin' me
(aw, shucks) i wouldn't stop it for a million bucks
(i love you so) come on, baby, now don't let go

Thunder, lightnin', wind and rain
Keeps on poundin' inside my brain
I'm so glad that i can see
*you've been keepin' on next to me

-chorus

-solo

-chorus

*one day, baby, you could be had {one day baby you'll quit me yet}
*i'll be cryin' and sad you're bad

There's one thing i'll never stand
You goin' out with another man

Why do i say, don't walk away
You'll be the way you were before, when you don't want me anymore

Don't turn around, don't ever leave, a lonely room where empty days
Are gathering to meet me when you're gone, gone
How in the world will i go on

(don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (don't walk away)

Chorus:
Don't walk away (don't walk away), don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (don't turn around), don't let it die (don't let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Don't walk away

Is it a dream, when will it end
When everything we've ever known has ended and i'm all alone

Where will i go, where will i be, the feelings that i've never shown
Maybe i'll find the answer when you're gone, gone
How in the world will i go on

(don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (don't walk away)

Chorus repeats 3x

I see the early glow, i hear you say hello
I watch the shadows fall, i don't see you at all

It's a lie (i don't believe it's so), it's a lie

I see the autumn rain, falling on my window pane
I hear you say goodbye, i see a tear in your eye

Chorus:
It's a lie (i don't believe it's so), it's a lie
Our love couldn't go wrong, how could i know i was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, i will go on really believing
I take the fall

I see you slip away, into another day
There's no-one else around, i watch the sun go down

Chorus

(instrumental break)

I take the fall

I see you in a dream, you turn and start to go
I call to you once more, guess that i'm takin' the fall

Chorus

Our love couldn't go wrong, how could i know i was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, i will go on really believing
I take the fall

So you want to be a rock 'n roll star
Then listen now to what i say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time and learn how to play

And when your hair's combed right
And your pants fit tight
It's gonna be all right
Then it's time to go down town

Where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company who are waiting there
To sell plastic ware and in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls will tear you apart

Gotta pay for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game
You're a little insane
The money that came and the public acclaim
Don't forget who you are
You're a rock 'n roll star

Repeat last verse

La la la la la la la

[instrumental]

Do you remember, you said to me
That you would wait, wait for me eternally
I've been wondering, and i've been hoping
Your still the same, only you can say
I'll be so glad to be back with you
I'll do anything you want me to

That's what i want, i'll be so happy, back home

I see your light, shine in my window
And i know you coming home
And as the light grows, grows ever brighter
I see your face, you are alone
And when i tell you all the things i have seen
You'll say that darling you must have been dreaming

That's what i want, i'll be so happy, back home

Electric visions have crossed, strange decisions have crossed
I felt the stars above me, i have someone to love me
That's what i want, i'll be so happy, back home

Believe me baby when i say, i wish i never, never,
Never, never, never be away
For the things that i see, be meant for the eyes of a time
And when we walk alone together
That's how i want it to be, want it to be forever

That's what i want, i'll be so happy
That's what i want, i'll be so happy
That's what i want, i'd be so happy, back home

What is that strang air in the sky.
Why should a strange star pass me by.

How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind,
The silly people just like you and better too.
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning on the faces
Of the people in the churches of the land.

That's all a way that i cut from the lives.
The day has come at last.

People that cry in the boulevard,
Their eyes are blind they cry so hard.

How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind,
The silly people just like you and better too.
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning on the faces
Of the people in the churches of the land.

That's all it seems, there is only one dream.
The day has come at last.

That's all it seems, there is only one dream.
The day has come at last.

What you have done makes me ashamed.
I'll blow it up and start again.

How can you congratulate the people who destroyed the piece of mind,
The silly people just like you and better too.
How can you keep turning when the overture is burning in the faces
Of the people in the churches of the land.

That's all it seems, there is only one dream.
The day has come at last.

Standing up in someones place looking down on thee
Now i may behold your face as its supposed to be

Get you in but tried enough to keep you be
Give you in to take a...that you will need

Chorus

Oh may it not be so
See me looking down
Im just looking on

Standing with their heads...
Watching down on me
Theres a...on my chest
Where the soul should be

Give you in but see who as they...by now
Get you in that meet you as they all cry now

Chorus

Repeat first two verses

I'm getting outta here cause there's too many complications
Yeah i'm getting outta here don't get driven any information
And if they ask you for a number to call just say i'm gone that's all

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

If anybody wants me just say you don't know the address
Cause i've had enough of the confusion and the madness
And should anybody ever try to stall, just say i'm gone that's all

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

I'm tired of playing other peoples games
Tired of waiting for some things to change

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

I'm tired of playing other peoples games
Tired of waiting for some things to change

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, destination unknown

Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, i'm a long way from home

Goin' to a party,
Meet me out after school.
Well we go to a place
Where the jive is really cool.
And if the band stops a playin'
There's a jukebox in the hall.

Well put your blue dress on,
And your folks all gone.
You'll sure give the guys a ball.

Chorus:
Get that real guitar boy shakin',
I'm a california man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a california man.

Well i cross my mamma so bad
And this a woman's just a making me mad.
So i don't care if your legs start aching,
I'm a california man.
Oh my, i'm a california man.

Oh my legs start to shiver
When i hear you call my name.
Well, my knees keep a knocking,
And i'm feeling tired bugs me down.

An' when we take off fine,
An' my jeans are way down low.
When i waggle my hips
It's making me feel like a king of rock n' roll

Chorus

It's hard to get up in the morning
No matter who you're working for
But you'll find a way when the landlord's knocking on your door
But you won't be down until your moma's gone

So your morale is a let down
Don't put the blame upon yourself
You still hurry home 'til you know she's found nobody else
So you won't be down until your moma's gone

Allow me to show you the warning
I don't wanna see you lose
Don't carry on 'til the wild grass is growing round your shoes
For it won't be long until your moma's gone
Until your moma's gone

It's hard to get up in the morning
No matter who you're working for
But you'll find a way when the landlord's knocking on your door
Oh you won't be down until your moma's gone

Don't know why
It's the strangest thing
It's no lie
Don't know what's happening

Chorus: i know that you know that
It's a matter of fact
I know that you know that
It's a matter of fact

Don't want to stay
But i don't want to go oh who oh
Don't want to say it
But you already know oh wo oh

Chorus

Tell me now
What is that thing you do
Tell me how
I keep thinking of you

Chorus

If it's gone
Come out and say it
Don't go on
Living in make believe

Chorus

I know that you know that
I know that you know that
I know that you know that
I know that you know that

Chorus

Pretty pretty are the girls as they go by
Chilly chilly is the air under moonlit sky
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

Chorus: the cities watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Silly silly are the thoughts that fill your head
Wish i'd never set out, wish i'd stayed in bed
You see reflections from across the street
So you better start movin' stop draggin' your feet

(chorus)

Money money, gotta get some money and run
It's an issue i find unenviable
It doesn't matter which way you turn
But you gotta keep trying cause you never learn

(chorus)

Funny funny how the world goes round and round
You better watch your step don't make a sound
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

(chorus)

Pretty pretty
Chilly chilly
Silly silly
Money money

Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Feels like another day, i wouldn't know
My love's away, from home today

Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Wait 'til the morning sunshine
It's just the memory, of sunshine
In the morning, being close to me

And it was.....

Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Seems like the world is late, for i can't wait
For sunshine in the morning

Wait 'til the morning sunshine
Wait 'til the morning sunshine

In the land they call the west
On the prarie's virgin crest
Lived a great man and his braves
And he led them to their graves

Big chief plays with baby son
The work of the indian today is done
Life is easy, life is grand
'til there is white man, gun in hand

Started out when settlers came
And built their homes on the indian range
Big chief woolly bosher liked it none
Traded with a bad man for a gun

Big chief looks out at his great land
Locomotive on the prairie stands
Life that leak from the city in the east
Let us destroy that iron beast

Big chief rides on the trail tonight
Tread the land for which he must fight
In their fight for love and glory
Some indians were saved
They lived to tell the story
And woolly bosher prays

Big chief rides on the trail tonight
Soldier boys marching in the morning light
Bring the guns, bring the bows
Let's blow them into heaven let's see if god knows

One hundred men must have to die
When a thousand soldiers look you in the eye
Big chief sees his men fall round
The soldiers kill and the bugle sounds

In their fight for love and glory
No indians were saved
And big chief woolly bosher
Had written on his grave
He has done no wrong
Except being bold

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what i just heard
There's gonna be a party all over the world

I got a message on the radio, but where it came from i don't really know
And i heard these voices calling all over the world

Chorus:
All over the world, everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight

Everybody walkin' down the street, everybody movin' to the beat
They're gonna get hot down in the u.s.a. (new york, detroit, l.a.)

We're gonna take a trip across the sea, everybody come along with me
We're gonna hit the night down in gay pareee

Chorus

(instrumental break)

London, hamburg, paris, rome, rio, hong kong, tokyo
L.a., new york, amsterdam, monte carlo, shard end and

Chorus

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what i just heard
Everybody walkin' down the street, i know a place where we all can meet
Everybody gonna have a good time, everybody will shine till the daylight

Chorus

All over the world, everybody got the word (repeats 3x)

I wander through a town
A town i new so well but it seems so strange
The wind blows cold
I remember when i thought your street was paved with gold
I walked along the street
A street i walked along many times before
The things have changed
Everything i knew was gone or rearranged

Chorus: julie don't live here anymore
She moved away many years before
How can it be, this i can't believe
Julie don't live here anymore

I walked up to your door
Last night i saw your face in the window
But it was different now
The lonely light where we used to be quite gone

I though about your smile
Your laughing eyes and the things you said to me
I felt so sorry for you
For all the nights we spent hanging around with nothing else to do

Chorus

Chorus

Julie don't live here anymore
Julie don't live here anymore
Julie don't live here anymore

Hey grandma, you're so young
Your old man's just a boy

It's been a long time but this time
Bye bye bye
It's been a long time but this time
Bye bye bye
It's been a long time
This time round, this time round
Everything's upside-down, upside-down
It's gonna be good, you're looking so good
It's gonna be good

Hey except for these things on my mind
They're all sins, it's just a waste of time
But we're gonna have this time
Bye bye bye
But we're gonna have this time
Bye bye bye
But we're gonna have this time round
This time round
Everything's upside-down, upside-down
It's gonna be good, you're looking so good
It's gonna be good

Oh... will make me feel so fine
Oh.....

It's been a long time but this time
Bye bye bye
It's been a long time but this time

Everything is upside-down, upside-down

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown

Bad dreamer, what's your name
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as through there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a showdown

Save me, oh save me
It's unreal, the suffering
There's gonna be a showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless

I thought about it but i couldn't think of what to say
But i thought about it anyway.......yeah
I tried to tell you what you mean to me
But it didn't come so easily..........no

I never reckoned
For more than a second
Just how it would be on my own

I'd be helpless, without you
I'd be helpless, without you

The dawn that calls beyond the night
Tells its old story.
The shadows fade into the light
In all it's glory.

Helpless
Helpless baby i'm a helpless
Helpless baby
I'm a helpless

If i could put a good shine on the past
Do you think that we could make it last - oh yeah
Seems to mind the time goes fast
I wonder if the vote is cast

Now that you mention it,
Got my attention
I quite clearly blew me away

I'd be helpless, without you
I'd be helpless, without you

The dawn that calls beyond the night
Tells its old story.
The shadows fade into the light
In all it's glory.

Helpless
Helpless baby i'm a helpless
Helpless baby
I'm a helpless, without you
I'd be helpless, without you

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless

[instrumental]

Jenny had a bawl at me the other night
She threw it up an' drove away.
So i made a call completely outa sight
Hope to put it right today

When alice comes back to the farm
I won't be in the cold tonight.
When alice comes back to the farm
You know it's gonna be alright. yeah

Gimme an appointment put me in the light
That's a taste of what she needs.
Such a disappointment daddy's in the right.
Time for tearing out the weeds

When alice comes back to the farm
I won't be in the cold tonight.
When alice comes back to the farm,
You know it's gonna be alright, yeah.

Relax now baby that woman won't get past my door
I believe, i believe that woman won't pass my door
She won't be raisin' no alarm
Don't get around much any more

Can you believe no one has called anymore since the ball that was
Thrown in the spring
Brother, beware,
Nobody dare anymore since the days back when balls were the thing

Open up said the world at the door

Swimming around out in the hall
In the ground til she finds what she lost years ago
In a nightdress, dirty old vest, she never rests,
But the old folks at home never know

Open up said the world at the door

What are (?) the heart, guess it's a part of the tale and the feeling
That's being with each (?)
Brother, beware,
Nobody dare anymore since the days back when balls were the thing

Open up said the world at the door

I'd love to carve my name of him she said
And tie this rope around your head she said

Hurry up john (hurry up john)
Hurry up john (hurry up john)

Then she rolled me up and said
I look very strange without a head
It was time i should be gone
But i was waiting for john, to take me home

I've gone too near the edge, you'll fall she said

Hurry up john (hurry up john)
Hurry along (hurry along)

Then she rolled me up and said
I'd look very strange without a head
It was time i should be gone
But i was waiting for john to take me home

Oh it's a long long time from may to december
And the days grow short when you reach september
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
And you ain't got time for waiting game

When days dwindle down to a precious few
September november, and these few golden days i'd share with you
Those golden days i share with you

When the days dwindle down to a precious few
September november, and all those golden days i'd share with you
Those golden days i'd share with you

Those golden days i'd share with you
Those golden days i'd share with you

She had a birthday yesterday she cried
Took off her glasses let her hair down cried
She told them all at work about the day
How it is no-one came?

She sent the invitations to her friends
They were too busy doing other things
She told them all at work about the day
How it is no-one came?

Was it the ladder loose that made her fall?
She told them all at work about the day
How it is no-one came?
Wo-oh woh, oh woh-oh

[instrumental]

There she is im sure i seen her
Pushing in the queue to get to the front
Join the ladies in my dream
I know that nothing hurts you babe
In my balance in a way

Chorus

Come and take a ride on my omnibus
We could take you right to the terminus
Dont forget your ticket if you want to ride
(catching a ride)
If you want to go inside

Just a dud their hansom falter (?)
Harem on a bus flies over the top
...jeans
Lock up your daughters

Just too late to save the day
Ring my bell and turn away

Chorus

Sweet silver meadows
Protect us from the rain
Please never break
Take us to the stars again
Hear the ways for every where
See my sleighs win the air

Save the girls upstairs for later
Now you wonder if i can manage them all
Wrap them up in christmas paper
Tell them they dont have to pay
Ring my bell and turn away

Chorus

Omnibus ride

Someone knocked my door 'round about half past four this morning
Despite what i said, i was out of bed still yawning
Well that's it once again, someone knocking
Going through my head wish they'd stop it

I walked down the stairs just a little bit scared - apprehensive
With a few judged words that shouldn't be heard reprehencin'
Well that's it once again, someone knocking
Going through my head wish they'd stop it

So i opened up just to take a look, was i dreamin'?
There was no-one there just the cold night air - i was dreamin'

Going through my head wish they'd stop it

The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
But you don't realize just what they say
You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done
It makes me feel so sad to think what i might've had
I watch the stars, i watch the sun, now i watch for anyone
But it's only make believe

You work, you work, you work so hard and then
Someone, someone will come around again
You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel
The places that i go don't feel good anymore
I see it all rainbows in fall i see her face upon my wall
But it's only make believe

Fly away, bluebird fly away for me
To a place somewhere far across the sea
Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today
The waves that crash upon the sand
Another place, a far off land
And every day, i have to stay, but you are free
You could fly away-
But it's only make believe

She's got me stolen
So you wonder why
Man i was rollin'
She has all i got

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

Met her in the garden
Taking the stairway home
Something hits me harder
Hits me like a stone

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

If it should be questioned
I can feel the heat
Mind her reflection
Stops you in the street

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seen to control myself
So how can i talk to you?

I feel too good
Feel too good feel too good
Yeah hey yeah
What can you do?

Daylight comes to those who live
But those who die they never see the sun come
Shining through their window pane they pass away.
Silly girl to be a fool, you didn't play the golden rule,
'cos once you're through with one world,
There's another waiting there.

Chorus
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

Looking from this empty room,
The corridors of endless gloom go crawling through the night,
To meet the dawn that's on its way.
Oh to sleep, per-chance to dream,
To live again those joyous scenes,
The laughter and the follies that are locked inside my head.

Chorus
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

I can dream of flying high,
Above the city's cares and never be afraid of anyone
'cos there ain't no one there.

Chorus
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

Remember what you told me
That you would always be there
If you change your mind now

Oh, what would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Here comes another night
And all the stars are shining
Could i make it right

Woh, what would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Ohhh, what would it take
Whooo, what would it take
To save me

What would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Ohhh, what would it take
Whooo, what would it take
To save me

Of all the things i do
And everywhere they take me
You know what i go through

What would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

What would it take to save me
What would it take to save me now

Take me to the heart of you,
Take me to the heart of you,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to the heart of you.

Take me to your heart and then
Take me to your heart and then
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to your heart again.

Take me where the fields are green,
Take me where the fields are green,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me where the fields are green.

Take me to your heart somehow,
Take me to your heart somehow,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me cause i need you now.

Take me to cross your borderline,
Take me to cross your borderline,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me to cross your borderline.

Take me where i wanna be,
Take me from this misery,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me where i wanna be.

Take me to the heart of you,
Take me to the heart of you,
Take me to the heart of you,
The heart of you...
The heart of you...

Bury a jar of shao-sing
When the girl is born
Surely you know the wine will age
Till shes fully grown
Dont fly into the night
Soon enough the world will end
While the lantern is right

Chorus

I could find a good time girl in chinatown
Chinatown
Dancing in my shoes
See the eastern ladies walking chinatown
Chinatown
Chain me down
Chinatown

Maybe ill drink your jasmine tea
Then ill hurry home
Surely you know the likes of me
Should be left alone
Why they like a me for
Soon enough the world will end
If i answer the door

Chorus

Look at the tall pagoda through
Through your window pane
Watching it by your dragon night
On a cocoa day
Youll discover the white
Orchids in my humble moon
While the lantern is right

Chorus

I'm very lucky i think you'll agree

I've lost the key to my front door
I can't get in there anymore, oh my
I've lost the key to my love's heart
It's down the drain and in the dark, oh my

I'm very lucky i think you'll agree

As i was riding home from work
I saw a robber steal a shirt, oh my
I shouted "oi!" and yelled "stop! thief!"
The policeman booked me for disturbing the peace, oh my

I'm very lucky i think you'll agree

As i was swimming in the sea
I came across a bomb or three, oh my
I took them to the coastguard man
Who said "hurry up and get th...", oh my

I'm very lucky i think you'll agree

I've lost the key to my front door
I can't get in there anymore, oh my
I've lost the key to my love's heart
It's down the drain and in the dark, oh my

I'm very lucky i think you'll agree

Little girl in the sea of dreams
There's a smile on her little face
She looked around she could see no peace
Her heart was sad and her body weak

Dum, dum, dooby-dum dum dum
Dum, dum, dooby-dum dum dum

But in her dream she was big and strong
She fell in love with a sailor
He travelled far off to distant lands
He never travelled to see her

Dum, dum, dooby-dum dum dum
Dum, dum, dooby-dum dum dum

Then one night a strange man did come
He whispered words unto her mother
Little girl in the sea of dreams
She closed her eyes and met her maker

Friday night and everything's right on the weekend
Crazy clothes and anything goes on the weekend
John called in and jim got sue
I made a date with a little ol' jew
Off he went to make a date on the weekend
No harm done, just having some fun on the weekend
Cartop down, just a ridin' around on the weekend
Took a ride to lookout hill
The view up there was sure a thrill
That was all, we had a big fall on the weekend

There we were just sitting cool and cozy
I just had time to steal a little kiss
A police with a flashlight tried to nose in
He said, "holy mackerel there, what is all this?"
No harm done just having some fun on the weekend
Took a chance on crashin' a dance on the weekend

We were almost inside the place
Then some boy slammed the door in my face
"hey you guys, you gotta wear ties on the weekend
Crazy clothes and anything goes on the weekend
That was all we had a big ball on the weekend

My dear elaine,
May i see you again?
For i've loved you,
And i hope to be forgiven,

It's been a cold night,
How i long to see the light,
To have you there,
To feel your hair.

Dear elaine,
Will it still be the same?
From the gateway to your arms
I am forbidden.

It's been a cold night,
Need the love the burns so bright,
To have you there,
To feel your hair.

Thoughts that once remained discreet,
Fall like servants at your feet.
Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhh.

Come here, elaine,
Please attend to the pain,
Please relieve the darken clouds of evening,
Prayers i could say,
How you swept them all away
I can't believe
You chose to leave,

God(?) that wears the sallow face,
Seems to put in my place,
Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh

Dear elaine,
Will it still be the same?
Now the house of spirit crumbles,
For your love wears many gowns.
Love has risen,
It has stumbled,
Dear elaine,
Why should you wish to leave?

Dear elaine,
May i see you again,
For i've loved you,
And i hope to be forgiven.
It's been a cold night,
How i long to see the light
To have you there,
To feel your hair.
Dear elaine.

Can't you see i'm shaking in my shoes
I've done everything but i still got the blues
Everywhere i turn there's misery
Stuck in the middle of nowhere street

Go away come back where ya goin'
Don't do that, do this, don't you blow it
Run don't walk, shout don't talk about it
You don't know anything about it

It's no good there's no way out
No way out
A fine affair and there's no doubt
There's no doubt
That there's no way out, no way out

She left some money in a paper sack
And a note to say she ain't coming back
It's no good there's no way out
A fine affair and there's no doubt
But there's no way out, no way out

They're coming at me from everywhere
They say she's already gone from here

Go away come back where ya goin'
Don't do that, do this, don't you blow it
Run don't walk, shout don't talk about it
You don't know anything about it

It's no good there's no way out
No way out
A fine affair and there's no doubt
That there's no way out, no way out

No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out

Hey mr. judge, your trams are coming down the line
The cargo aint too much if you can chase the friends of mine
I heard they smuggle in the goods
Along the western union line


Once on a time the...kids...
Been so unkind run over the inspector man
Discovered they were yellow
Finally threw them in the can

Chorus
Turn over turn over
Turn over turn over
Turn over turn over
Id hate to throw you back again
Oh yes

Turn the volume up until you blow the speaker cone
Hey mr. judge you have to give your dog a bone
Theres a...in the rhino kitchen
Send him on a china call

Repeat first verse

Chorus

Wild times, until the light has gone
Wild, until the rising sun
Let us hear the sigh,
Of all the days gone buy
Wild times

Shine the light, down through the years
Through the fields of yonder, the veil off tears
And well take the time,
That is yours and mine
Wild times

Wild times, into the dawn
These wild times, will not be gone
And the music plays,
To these golden days
Wild times

You can here the sigh,
Of all the days gone by
Wild times

And well take the time,
That is yours and mine
Wild times

Wild times
Wild times
Wild times
Wild times

Is there something that you've wanted
More than anything

Something you took for granted
Never stop to think

Suddenly its there in your eyes
Suddenly you can recognize
That something
That certain something

Do i want you
Oh do i want you
More than anything

Did i love you
Oh did i love you
Never stop to think

All my life i've wanted one thing more
All my life i've been searching for
That something
That certain something

Oh no no no
Its not like that at all

Oh no no no
Not as i recall

Is there something that you've wanted
More than anything

Something you took for granted
Did you ever stop to think

All my life i've wanted one thing more
All my life i've been searching for
That something
That certain something

You couldn't make it easy if you tried
So i'm gonna save it for the girl outside
I'll take her on a magic carpet ride
We could walk the clouds together
Stay in love forever

If you don't answer what i feel inside
I might try to make it with the girl outside
And all our thoughts together we'll confide
We'll see fairytale cities
When following the lands of love

Who needs the girl outside
When i can ride the time and life with you
Why don't you turn around
And look at me, i often wish i knew you

You overstepped the mark so run and hide
Cause i'm gonna take it to the girl outside
I won't cast all my little dreams aside
Every flowers hide their faces
By... their places

Who needs the girl outside
When i can ride the time and life with you
Why don't you turn around
And look at me, i often wish i knew you

You couldn't make it easy if you tried
So i'm gonna save it for the girl outside
I'll take her on a magic carpet ride
We could walk the clouds together
Stay in love forever

Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
I am the fairground man at heart
I run the roundabout this part
I fill this fair but custom have i none

I turn the handle round so fast it makes my elbow ache
Nobody seems to care
No-one rides upon my roundabout no longer anymore
Oh what a horrid fair!

Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout

Money there is none - i'm thinner than a skeleton

But wait a minute, i'm so thin
That all these aches and pains could be a chance for me
I could be a horror or a ghost in a ghost train
I think i'll go and see

I meet the man who runs the ghost train
He says, "you're just great!
I'll pay you top class wages
If you'll just hang from this gate"

A year is passing lots of food and money come my way
Oh lucky man am i
But who's this telling me, "you're fired!
You're much too fat to be a ghost, be on your way!"
So here i am

Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout
Climb aboard my roundabout

Blackberry way absolutely pouring down with rain,
It's a terrible day.
Up with the lark, silly girl i don't know what to say,
She was running away.
But now i'm standing on the corner,
Lost in the things that i said.
What am i supposed to do now?

Goodbye blackberry way
I can't see you, i don't need you.
Goodbye blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day.

Flowers in the park overgrowing but the trees are bare
There's a memory there.
Boats on the lake, unattended now for all to drown
I'm incredibly down.
Just like myself they are neglected,
Turn with my eyes to the wall
What am i supposed to do now?

Goodbye blackberry way
I can't see you, i don't need you.
Goodbye blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day.

Run for the train, look behind you for she may be there
Said a thing in the air
Blackberry way, see the battlefield of careless sins
Cast to the winds
So full of emptiness without her,
Lost in the words that i said.
What am i supposed to do now?

Goodbye blackberry way
I can't see you, i don't need you.
Goodbye blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day.

Goodbye blackberry way
I can't see you, i don't need you.
Goodbye blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day.

In the town lived a girl so fair
Her mother would not dare
To let her anywhere
She was a lonely girl

John and paul and ringo and george
Were playing lovely tunes
From the window of her room
By the light of the moon

Hey girl there at the window i wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you so much i want you to see

In the fields lived a lonely boy
Who'd wander every night
Just to see her window light
Then he was happier

Then he'd sit upon the ground
Just to listen to the sound
Of the music going round
And he would call to her

Hey girl there at the window i wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you so much i want you to see

One night her mother said i think it's time for bed
The little girl crept down the stairs free as a bird

Hey girl there at the window i wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you so much i want you to see

She met the boy sitting on the ground
And they listened to the sound
Growing distant as they found
They were happy now

Hey girl there at the window i wish you would come and see me
I've got so much to tell you so much i want you to see

(repeat)

Whats on your mind
Dear stephanie?
Whats on your mind
Towards me?

Aches and pains
They claw at your thighs
Your glad you did
You said you did

What can i say dear stephanie?
Who shall i kiss before?
The love and poetry that you bring
Your eyes your hair your everything

What am i now dear stephanie?
Am i you in disguise?
The words they come so naturally
I say them all for stephanie

There's a girl next door to me who's round the bend
But she wonders why she can't make any friends
From her garden she could see me
In her silver-clad bikini
Singing, dancing round her fruit tree

Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, can't you hear me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, don't come near me

Could i calm her down by throwing stones at her
If only i could make the right approach to her
Think i'd rather tame a tiger
Turn those lemons into cider
Still i'd like to get beside her

Chorus

Three o'clock in the morning
I could her her toneless singing
I could smell her lemon perfume in the air
I walked up to the window
In the hope that i might see her
Could the deadly shade of night still bring her there

Chorus

Morning came and into action went my plans
Went to meet her dressed in bright green underpants
I crept in and sang discreetly
Seemed to change your mind discreetly
Danced together singing sweetly

Chorus

Chorus

I have a trainset and a garage full of cars
And a soldier with a gun
My mother says i should have more resposibility
As i'm nearly 31

I have a plane, i have a crane
That can lift up all my trains and all my cars
I have a boat that doesn't float
But a big machine that takes me to the stars

But my mother says i should get a job
Or my father she will tell
She says 16 years is a long enough rest
Though i say that i'm not well

I have a trainset and a garage full of cars
And a soldier with a gun
My mother says she'll break up all my toys and all my games
And she'll say i'm not her son

But your mother says you should get a job
Or your father she will tell
She says 16 years is a long enough rest
Though you say that you're not well

I had a plane, i had a crane
That could lift up all my trains and all my cars
I had a boat that couldn't float
So my machine and me are going to the stars

[instrumental]

If you hear somebody knocking on your door
See somebody crawling out across the floor
Baby it'll be me
And i'll be looking for you

If you see somebody climbing up a telegraph pole
You find a new love then you shut the door
It'll be me
And i'll be looking for you

Chorus

I want to search in the city
Where might you be
I want to search the countryside
I want...

If you find a new bait on your fishing hook
You see a funny face in your comic book
It'll be me
And i'll be looking for you

Chorus

Repeat last verse

Chorus

Said i'll be looking for you
I'm gonna be looking for you

Hold me tight the time is right
Crazy dreams and mind-blowing schemes will get you
Yeah

People talking bad to her
Sitting on the block without any love
Somewhere

It's time to let your mind play again
It's your heart just let mind play again

Chorus

Sunshine help me
Sunshine help me
Help me take the strain away

Sunshine help me
Sunshine help me
Help me take the strain away

Is it true that i been wrong about the things
You always thought were innocent
People always going round putting me down

It's time to let your mind play again
Its your heart let your mind take it

Chorus

Ah sweet little lady used to drive me crazy
Had to stick around to play

Chorus

Down on the bay
Thats where i stay
The clouds are gray
Down on the bay

With lily cause she looks so fine

Chorus

Walking with my lily
Down a road thats pretty chilly
But she makes it like a summer day

Chorus

Repeat

A-sittin on the bay

Down on the bay
Thats where ill stay

Down on the...

On friday afternoon at three o'clock
A passing lady looked into a shop
Her eyes lit up as this the sign she read
Recruiting office, that is what it said

Exacitedly she stepped inside to see
How her sons would fair if they were militry
The man in charge to her was very sweet
And said, "please sign here on this little sheet"

But when she got home her mind grew many fears
The message from the soldiers in the war rang in her ears

Don't put your boys in the army mrs. ward
You know they'll only waste away, oh oh
Don't put your boys in the army mrs. ward
You know they'll only waste away, oh oh

At six o'clock the lads came home from work
She told them what she'd done, they went beserk
We'll have to go to war and fight and die
And mrs. ward she wiped a tear from her eye

Don't put your boys in the army mrs. ward
You know they'll only waste away, oh oh

Don't put your boys in the army mrs. ward
You know they'll only waste away, oh oh
Don't put your boys in the army mrs. ward
You know they'll only waste away, oh oh

Don't put your boys in the army mrs. ward
You know they'll only waste away, oh oh
Don't put your boys in the army mrs. ward
You know they'll only waste away, oh oh

It ain't necessarily so
No, it ain't necessarily so
These things that you're liable,
To read in the bible.
No it ain't necessarily so

(jammin')

You bet that you can't be wrong.
No place where you don't belong.
There's nothin' you don't know.
But it ain't necessarily so

To you there's never no doubt.
It's either in or it's out.
You sure put up quite a show.
But it ain't necessarily so

I said hold, let your bad self go.
Hold on, caus' you already know.

It's never maybe or might.
To you it's black or it's white.
If i say yes you say no.
But it ann's necessarily so

Hold on, let your bad self go.
Hold on, cause' you already know.

You think that you can't be wrong.
No place where you don't belong.
There's nothing' you don't know.
But it ain't necessarily so

Ain't necessarily so
Ain't necessarily so

No no no no
No it ain't necessarily so
No no no no
No no no no

No no no no
No it ain't necessarily so.
No no no no
No it ain't necessarily so.

I wake and yawn at the crack of dawn
With dewdrops on my feet
As i rise up to greet the morning
Nothing much to eat
Every breath i take seems to make my body ache
My only friend is mist on a monday morning

Pick up my sack and walk for miles
Never thinking why
To the brewer's yard where i can sit
And watch my life go by
Drink and drink all day till my memory melts away
I need a friend like mist on a monday morning

Where's my wife, has she gone
I hear misty morning call
One foot resting in the grave
Destined not to see her anymore

There's a den in the grass by the autopath
Of corrugated steel
I may be sleeping there tonight
And depending how i feel
Damp and dirty place
Printing sorrow on my face
With nothing but the mist on a monday morning

Chorus

From... i feel the sin
Like wheels upon my feet
Intoxicated by the night
I stumbled in the street
Every breath i take seems to make my body ache
And drift into the mist on a monday morning

Let the wind blow you out of my memory
Let the rain wash you out of my eyes
Too many bad times of loving you
Now i gotta realize

That i can throw you right out of my mind
And put you right back in your place
Cause lightning never strikes twice in the same place

I can live without loving you
Carry on in the same old way
Do anything i wanna do
Say what i wanna say

Cause i can throw you right out of my mind
And put you right back in your place
Cause lightning never strikes twice in the same place

Lightning strike
Lightning strike

Your kind of woman just drags me down
Want to put me on a ball and chain
I was king till you took my crown
I wanna win it back again

Cause i can throw you right out of my mind
And put you right back in your place
Cause lightning never strikes twice in the same place

Lightning strike
Lightning strike

Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change
(good evening, madam. it's a recording. yes.)
Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go, new ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again
(..... hello uncle bill)
And the wildflowers grow out of fields

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

(going to the pub, are you? evening madam.)

Wildflowers grow everywhere

All at once the world begins to love again

Love of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will feed

Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change
(good evening, madam. it's a recording. yes.)
Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go, new ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again
(..... hello uncle bill)
And the wildflowers grow out of fields

(there's a bloke out here looking for the band)

There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed

My marge

My marge is such a delight
She thrills me at night
The second i turn out the light

My marge is peaches to me
When no-one can see
She snuggle up is heavenly

My marge squeeze me sqeeze me
Take me home for tea
Let's not stay out too late
Cause your mother will be cross
And i'll be down across her knee
Y'know

My marge speaks double dutch
She's so ripe to touch
That's why i love her very much

O three three o
And take me home for tea
Let's not stay out too late
Or your mother will be cross
And i'll be down across her knee
Y'know

My marge is such a delight
She thrills me at night
The second i turn out the light

O three three o ooh ooh!
Y'know my marge
I know
She's a nice girl y'know
I know
She picks her nose
Ugh!
Throws the brown lumps over the right side
The green lumps over the left side
And everybody else says goodnight!

Maybe the years have told you
Do you remember when life was just a new day?
You know the story don't you?
The one they told you when life was slipping away

Aah! look at the brand new day
Sitting here upon the milky way
Aah! look at the dancing girls
Sitting holding hands across the world

You got a brand new lady
Just like the one you left down in some other place
Reading all the letters
Saw your face coming through on the ouija board

Aah! look at the brand new day
Sitting here upon the milky way
Aah! look at the dancing girls
Sitting holding hands across the world

You heard the words of aaron
He spoke the truth in these things both great and small

You can throw away the ashes
You sweep them over the world on your own accord
Did you know the real answer?
You'd see the kind of mistakes that you can't afford

(it was one morning when i woke up, and then i found out that they'd signed some
Papers, and then i was gonna be kept in a bed owing to my state of mind.
And then i found out that the authorities had said, um, that i'd gotta
Have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um, and i think it's because,
Because i was going off my...)

Head
Sunbeam from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my...
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the room

Cherry blossom clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry blossom clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

In this sad position where i lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by
Doctor pays a visit
Everyday i keep asking for my dad
They must think i'm going mad
Lift the blankets off my face
Quick before i suffocate
Trying hard to meditate
Tell the people, "what a scene"
Write a letter to the queen
Asking her if she can come to tea

Chorus

Up above the sun is high
Like a tea tray in the sky
Helicopter lands upon my bed
Phantom horses quickly fade
Turning into lemonade
Probably feel better when i'm dead

Chorus

Ventrilloquist was he, little boy sat on his knee
The people knew that the show was but the best one in the land
Until the night before the act
The dummy's clothes had all been packed away - he'd gone
And he'd left poor mr. crow right in the lurch

You know he's gone far away
I hear his voice go laughing
What of all the years we shared?

Hello mr. crow has your little boy left home - did he run away
Well i hope he'll soon be back to do the show
I'm sorry you must feel quite sad when your dummy runs away without a word
That is all old mr. crow had heard

You know he's gone far away
I hear his voice go laughing
What of all the years we shared?

Now come on mr. crow my dear
We'd better have this gottle o' geer

Then one fateful night into the dressing room so bright
Walked our friend tabledoll
Mr. crow cried tears of joy all in his tea
The bad doll said kindly address me as sir norman little man i am a star
And if you weren't so old maybe i'd let you be my doll

You know i've been far away
I've heard the people laugh
Now i'm a great big star

Tears in your life
Nothing but tears in your life
They come to you in the night
Tears in your life

Softly they call
Gathering slowly they fall
You see those tears and they're all
Tears in your life

(tears in your life)
(tears in your life)
(tears in your life)
(tears in your life)

Tears in your life
Nothing but tears in your life
Heartbroken fool's paradise
Tears in your life

Softly they call
Gathering slowly they fall
You see those tears and they're all
Tears in your life

Tears in your life...

It's all making me ready
It's all doing what you gotta do
I know "a"
I see my life come shine

Golden sunrise
Tragic day dream
I am so afraid --

King of the universe, are you king of the earth
King of the universe, are you king of the sky
King of the universe, are you king of the sky
