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

[instrumental]

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...........

Video

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

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, oh it's made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul keeps on turning
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace for me to find
Well i could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
Oh you must know it was the last thing on my mind

As we walked all my thoughts they are a tumbling down down
Round and around, round and round
And underneath i hear the subway's trumblin'
Underground, underground
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well i could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

You've got reasons of plenty for going
This i know, this i know
For the weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't grow, please don't grow
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left to find
Well i could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

I know that i can't keep her
Now she's in love with you
But i just wanna say
I won't be far away
So don't make my baby blue

I know your reputation
They say you can't be true
So i'll be standing by
And you just better try
Not to make my baby blue

My little girl, she's always been an angel
And it hurts me so bad to set her free
You better take good care of her
She still means all the world to me
You know she does

I'm gonna step aside now
Just like she wants me to
But even though i'm gone
I'll still be looking on
You better not make my baby blue
She's been a good baby
....


I know your reputation

Love my baby in the afternoon,
But she's crying, crying

But she don't like it she don't like it
Baby used to love me so

Baby i apologize
For telling them dirty lies
I had my fun but now it's done
Baby i apologize

Kicked me out of my own front room
For my lyen' my dirty lyin'

Baby i apologize
For telling them dirty lies
I had my fun but now it's done
Baby i apologize

Told me the truth of the world we live
And my darling, i'd just like to say one more time
Please come back

For telling them dirty lies
I had my fun but now it's done
Baby i apologize

Talk is what i want what i want
Oh, yeah what i want
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby

Talk come on, let's talk about it
Talk can't seem to do without it
Talk don't want to be one of the broken hearted

So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide

All i want is love what i want
Oh, yeah what i want
And all you gotta do is listen to me, baby what i want

Life 'cause life gets tougher every
Day day if you can't afford to
Pay pay, even so you got to carry on carry on

Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide
Lift me up

Lift me up from the broken hearted
River's deep and wide

The river's deep and wide

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

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

[instrumental]

Sometimes you get caught in a trap and you don't know it
Sometimes its better to get out while you know it
Some people never learn they keep on falling
You can never get out if you keep on stalling

Then you get,

(chorus:) caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap

Sometimes you got to know where to run for cover
Sometimes your better out 'till the heat is over

Ah you get (chorus)

Caught in a trap

Don't know how it happened but then it's too late
Then you gotta move on the times, you can't wait

Cus' you got (chorus)

(chorus)

Caught in a trap

Caught in a trap

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

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

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)

The next train arrives on here at five o nine
I'm standing where my daddy used to be
To follow his footsteps takes me three stops down the line
Down to the ben crawley steel company

Well i tried my hand at ranching but this didn't come off
Seems nothing in that for me
It always tried my patience which i haven't enough
I'm destined to work in a steel company

Just you wait at home for me little woman
By now i should know how lovely you will be
Waiting by the door for me little woman
Now i wont moan when i get home from the ben crawley steel company

When crawley makes the jokes and four guys laugh a lot
Damn, force a grin if you can
I got so many words on the tip of my tongue to shoot him down
But he'd soon replace a mere steel driving man

Just you wait at home for me little woman
Although i know you won't be as tired as me
Waiting by the door for me little woman [my true lovin' woman]
Well i won't slack when i get back from the ben crawley steel company

Well i've had my fill and it's giving me hell, now it's time for hate
Thanks mister for telling me
So i'll shoot if i can and i won't [don't] give a damn about playing it
Straight
My friends and the lord know what he's done [he did] to me

He's being staying at home with my little woman
Playing in the fields where i should always be
It's hard to forgive my own little woman
And to find a job 'cos i just blew up that steel company
Heh!

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
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

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
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

A long time this time round, this time round
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

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

[instrumental]

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

Everybody sat here waiting for the train to come
Just lay down a bright red carpet for her to step on
Lookin' to the bend i see her waving her hands at me
Her looks were tanned and quite amazing as she ran to me

Hello susie, hello susie
Tell me the news about yourself
Hello susie, hello susie
Tell me that you've enjoyed yourself

Frantically she knocked me over
Causing such a scene
Shook the crowd enough to sway

The interest from the queen
Her black transistor socked out
One o'clock radio
Completely drowned the band
And loud enough to stop the show

Chorus

Yes sir rock 'n' roll the day away
Come on everybody
They all seem too keen to make the scene
Come on everybody, come on everybody
Got to dig me just a while

I was... threw her bags into the car
Susie took her bow and made her exit like a star
The national news took films which... to make history
Her looks were tanned and quite amazing as she ran to me

Chorus

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

This crappy west coast hippie scene is becoming quite a drag
It seems that all my freaky clothes are turning into rag
The time has come to break the strings
Free to form constructive things
Tear the world right off its hinges

Chorus
Vote for me
Vote for me
Sign across the line
Vote for me
Vote for me
We can overtake the world

For some millions in this place and their views are never heard
They take precautions just in case you say a dirty word
With adverts comments they promote
Re-elections antidote, just a game to catch your vote

Chorus

Take up your pen
You won't regret it
Never met such an opportunity
For the people who are in the way
Make a new election day

Please correct me if i seem to be making too much noise
In this profession people rush to cut you down to size
So after all the seats are played
Dig my brain with a golden spade
Theres a fortune to be made

Chorus and repeat

Wave your flag and stop the train
Stop the train
Stop the train

Wave your flag and stop the train
Stop the train
Stop the train
Someone just pull the little chain

Girl in my compartment lost her mind
Stop the train
Stop the train
Tried to throw herself upon the line
I can't see you leaving her behind
She doesnt quite remember who i am
Stop the train stop the train
Committing suicide was more her plan
When she was attached to another man

Wave your flag and stop the train
Stop the train
Stop the train
Someone just pull the little chain

Tried to tell the signal man in time
She still trying to jump out on the line
I can't see you leaving her behind
I can't figure out whats with her mind
I can't figure that shes out of time (?)
I see her reflection on the line

Stop the train
Stop the train

Gates and railroad stations passing me by
I can't see you leaving her behind

Wave your flag and stop the train
Stop the train
Stop the train

Wave your flag and stop the train
Stop the train
Stop the train
Someone just pull the little chain

Please wave your flag and stop the train
You've gotta wave your flag and stop the train

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?

[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
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

Sweet little girls and your money
No she don't wanna know me at all ooh ooh
Who's she gonna use?
What's she gonna lose?
Been with ella james too long

Time to get up but i can't afford a cab
To the job where i work not at all ooh ooh
Have you got a hand?
Give it to me man
Been with ella james too long - alright!

Who's she gonna lose?
What's she gonna use now?
She was hasting to get me down
Will she ever pass to another class now?
And she's waiting to throw me down - alright!

Sweet little girls and your money
No you she don't wanna know me at all ooh ooh
Who's she gonna use?
What's she gonna lose?
Been with ella james too long - alright!

Who's she gonna lose?
What's she gonna use now?
She was hasting to get me down
Will she ever pass to another class now?
And she's waiting to throw me down

Sweet little girl came a running to the door
When she told me he'd gone ooh ooh
I've just had a ball
Not too bad at all
Thank you ella james so long, so long

The silent night has turned to a night of fear
With windows howling wind into your ear
You listen to the spirits far behind
These things you hear are too much for your mind

The bell strikes and your spine chills like the grave
The chill that turns your blood from red to grey
You know that with these things you see and hear
The silent night has turned to a night of fear

Image on your bedroom wall
Shadows marching in the hall
Just about to flip your mind
Just about to trip your mind
Just about to flip your mind
Just about to trip your mind

The green and purple lights affect your sight
Your mother cannot comfort you tonight
Your brain calls out for help that's never there
The silent night has turned to a night of fear

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

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

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.

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

You came on over and took over my heart
You came along and moved me honey

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Kiss me baby, whoo, feels good
Ahhh call me baby, love me like a lover should

You pull my fingers and you twiddle my thumbs
Wanna love you but it sure is hard

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

You get me lonely and you get all my money
You came alone and your with me honey
Come on baby you drive ah me crazy
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Yes she's leaving on the train
Never coming back again
The lines go far ahead
Got a job fixed in the city
Wants to be a star she's pretty
And i don't get a part

So please no more sad songs
I've heard enough today
Isn't it nice holding you tight, remember?

Left a note here on the floor
Where she used to knock the door
I found when i got home
Said you're gonna be a singer
Be a star and real swinger
I hope it's very nice

So please no more sad songs
I've heard enough today
Isn't i t nice holding you tight, remember?

Thought she was joking when i looked around
Went to her room and saw her things had gone
She must have flown, ahhh

Yes she's left upon the train
Never coming back again
The lines went far away
Got her job in the big city
She became a star so pretty
Now i don't know her name

So please no more sad songs
I've heard enough today
Isn't it nice holding you tight, remember?

(repeat)

Isn't it nice holding you tight, remember?

My friends and i took a walk today
To a place we've been before
We flipped around like a wild machine
Till we stopped down by the store

Someone said
Let's go for a walk upon the water
Let's go for a stroll across the sea
First one, follow me

Amidst my thoughts didn't feel inclined
To drift into the bay
By now my friends, could see their minds
As i watched them drift away, all singing

Chorus

Final boarding time
Now their souls are washed up
Faith destroyed their minds
Better get the life inspector
Bring along his mind director

You know i'm innocent
I just didn't expect their trip to last
With the gale force that crossed their path
I could see them sinking fast, still singing

Chorus

Final boarding time
Now their souls are washed up
Faith destroyed their minds
Better get the life inspector
Bring along his mind director

This tale of common sense will end on
Please don't drink and drive
Especially when you're driving friends
Along the waterside, still singing

Chorus

Chorus

Follow me, follow me, follow me

Chorus

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...

If your heart could talk i wonder what it would tell me
If your mind could walk would it bring me a love never ending
Yes, i've got to know

A look a-there
Here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanting to date her
Since i don't know when
But she don't notice me when i pass
She goes with all the guys from a-out of my class
But that ain't stopping me from thinking to myself
She's sure [good] looking man
She's something else

A look a- there
'cross the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car
Would be a luxury
But right now i can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that ain't stopping me from thinking to myself
That car's good looking man
It's something else

Hey look a-there
Just wait and see
Work hard and save my dough
I'll buy that car
I can roll up and show
Get me that girl and we'll go riding around
We'll look real sharp with a black top down
I keep right on a-dreaming and a-thinking to myself
When it all comes true man
She's something else

Look a-here
What's all this?
Never thought i do this before
But here i am a-knocking on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
It's a [sixty-seven] job not a fifty nine
I got that girl and i'm a-thinking to myself
She's [good] looking man
She's something e

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

She sparkle like my jean
She more than seventeen
Seems keen in other words
She must have been
A former beauty queen
Now shes a naughty girl

Chorus

Wild wild wild tiger woman
(wild wild wild wild)
You move me very fast
But can you last another day
Get out of the way
Wild wild tiger woman
(wild wild wild wild)
You gonna break youre little fall
They call her the wild tiger woman

Tied to the bed
Tied to the bed
Shes waitin to be fed
No pay to sir aday (?)
Cant see an ounce of reason in her head
Dont laugh and turn away

Chorus

Need another girl to come and grab her by the tail
As i was hoping that the ground would open up and take me in
Life is so obscene and the remarks that go unseen
Are being diminished to the earth
Ill never find another girl

All in the race
Such a friendly face
Seems clean and upper-class
Young indecisive
Minds are in a maze
She lose me very fast

Chorus

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)

Sun is shining for me
I'll be on my way
I'll be rolling along, cos i need to
Feel alright
From the evening till the early light
Nowhere to go but its on with the show

Wander down in the lane (?)
I'll be strolling to
I do a brave show for you , don't you know i
Feel alright
From the evening to the early light
Nowhere to go but its on with the show

Feel alright
From the evening to the early light
Nowhere to go but its on with the show

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

Did your friend tell you that i called today?
Did your friend tell you that i'm sad at losing you?
Did he tell you that i shouldn't cry?
Did he tell you that i had no pride?

Your friend
Your friend

Did your friend tell you that i called today?
Did your friend tell you that i'm gonna grieve for you?
Did he tell you that i cried aloud
To the sky and to the watching crowd?

Your friend
Your friend

Just the thought, of even losing you, makes everything i do
Jus' wanna sigh, and cry, and die

Did your friend tell you that i called today?
Did your friend tell you that i'm sad at losing you?
Did he tell you that i shouldn't cry?
Did he tell you that i had no pride?

Mister mackan was a practical man,
Curly was his only son,
And he loved him like no other can,
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum.

He discovered the world in a wonderful girl,
Though he played with more than one.
But he loved her like no other can.
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum

Chorus:
Oh curly has she let you down and run?
Oh curly where's your girly? where's she gone?

Ran all over the town,
Till he covered the ground,
Every inch of liverpool,
In a way i feel so bad
That she let he be made a fool.

But remember she's right,
As we freeze in the night,
When the dawn took years to come,
Does he love her like no other can
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum

Chorus

Now curse the day,
Yes it really shok you good.
Just broke away, no,
You didn't feel she would.
You didn't feel she would.

La-da-da, na- na- na- na-
Desolation tones play on
Though it breaks you curly
Can't you see what she has gone and done?

He discovered the world
Such a wonderful girl,
So he played with more than one,
But he loved her like no other can
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum

Oh curly, where's she gone?
You didn't feel she would.
Feel she would. la-da-da,
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

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 fellow roaming round the street
I think most of all i'd like to meet
I must consider him a clever lad
Making like a young sir galahad
Everywhere i go i think he's been
He autographs the walls around the scene
If you look hard enough you'll find him there
In rooms of public places everywhere

Kilroy was here
Left his name around the place
Kilroy was here
Thought i've never seen his face
On a short vacation with my friends
I found i had time on my hands to spare
Surveyed my telescope around the land
And saw his name imprinted in the sand

Kilroy was here
Left his name around the place
Kilroy was here
Thought i've never seen his face
On a short vacation with my friends
I found i had time on my hands to spare
Surveyed my telescope around the land
And saw his name imprinted in the sand

I wonder could he be a cavalier
Or a roving musketeer
Or just a dustman who's insane
Everyplace regardless where or when
.... strikes again and again and again

If i ever meet that man at all
I'll hang a plague upon my bedroom wall
A monument erected in his name
Would help to contribute his name

Kilroy was here
Left his name around the place
Kilroy was here
Thought i've never seen his face
On a short vacation with my friends
I found i had time on my hands to spare
Surveyed my telescope around the land
And saw his name imprinted in the sand

Kilroy was here
Though i've never seen his face

That's the road, it's over there
And leading down to nowhere,
This is the age when your alowed to have your own care,
If you will have some pride to plan your life ahead
Instead of waiting till your old in your bed.

Chorus:
I'll be over tonight, if you say you might,
I'll be over tonight, indeed to put you right.

Well, i know you wrote on your overcoat,
But you don't want to take it too far, oh i think you won't
But i know you don't, but you always say that you are right.

I'm so used to waiting that's entirely your decision
And don't be restricted by the weightless views your given.

If you will have some pride to fight and front a head
Instead of saving till your young heart is dead.

Chorus

Never let riches that may ever be within you,
Show some concern for all the love that you have been through,
If you will have some pride to plan your life ahead,
Instead of waiting till your old in your bed.

Chorus

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

Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio,
Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio

There's a place down rio town
Where everybody hangs around
And they all do the crazy thing
Dance a lot and love to sing

Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio

Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio
Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio

Where the folks all have a ball
Just go down there for any all

Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio

All right, that's nice, i'm going to rio

Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio
Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio

Goin' down to rio, goin' down to rio

Goin' down to rio

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

See the people all in line
Sneakin' a look at me ???
Can't imagine that their minds
Are thinkin' the same as me

I can hear the grass grow i can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

My heads attracted to
Magnetic wave of sound
With streams of coloured circles
Makin' their way around.

I can hear the grass grow i can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

Can't seem to cause allow the sign
My sense color my ????
Get a hold of yourself now baby
See i need you to help now baby
Get a hold of yourself now baby

Put your head down to the ground
And listen to your mind
If you can't spell what you found
I know that you're not my kind

I can hear the grass grow i can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

Can't seem to cause allow the sign
My sense color my ????
Get a hold of yourself now baby
See i need you to help now baby
Get a hold of yourself now baby

See the people all in line
Sneakin' a look at me ???
Can't imagine that their minds
Are thinkin' the same as me

I can hear the grass grow i can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

A bunch of dead flowers, kept in a vase
And its all that remind me of you
Why do i keep them, well might you ask

They're all that remind me of you

Two seperate people, two seperate ways
And i hope they may pass again
Withered and dead like, your love for me

And they're all that remind me of you
Once fresh and green now no, honey for the bee

They're all that remind me of you

A bunch of dead flowers kept in a vase
And they're all that remind me of you
Why do i keep them, well might you ask

They're all that remind me of you

They're all that remind me of you
They're all that remind me of you

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

Here the roar a coming
Here the roar a coming
Here the roar a coming now

Got news for your mother
Got news for your mother
Got news for your mother tonight

Sister i have touched the evergreen
And i promise that it's life should go unseen
Now it [saves/says?] the birds upon the fire
And the message from the country rises higher

Hear the birdie calling
Hear the birdie calling
Hear the birdie calling for life

Message from the country
Message from the country
Message from the country rising high

Sister i have touched the evergreen
And i promise that it's life should go unseen
Now it [saves/says?] the birds upon the fire
And the message from the country rises higher

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

The second i turn out the light

O three three o ooh ooh!
Y'know my marge

She's a nice girl y'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

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.)

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

(hold it. one more time, it's a bit ragged. try one more. here we go.)

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

The people throwing pennies in my soup
Expecting me to be ashamed of you
Now my needs are growing and i'm groping round
I am really groping round

We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom
It wasn't my idea to dance

The prince of thunder gave his warning speech
His talons dared to grasp you from my reach
Once again you clutch me to your warming breast
Now i lay me down to rest

We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom
It wasn't my idea to dance

As dawn is nearing
I'm hearing tearful music

So i have given you the will to weep
For now you're at your last and final peak
Dangerously the past it explodes about by ears
Loudly ringing through my ears

We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom

It wasn't my idea to dance
It wasn't my idea to dance

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
