1. _ That Was Yesterday
I thought I knew you well, but all this time I could never tell
I let you get away, haunts me every night and every day
You were the only one, the only friend I counted on
How could I watch you walk away, I'd give anything to have you here today
But now I stand alone with my pride, and dream that you're still by my side
But that was yesterday, I had the world in my hands
But it's not the end of my world, just a slight change of plans
That was yesterday, but today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday, 'cause yesterday's gone
Love, my love I gave it all, thought I saw the light, when I heard you call
Life that we both could share has deserted me, left me in despair
But now I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry
But that was yesterday, love was torn from my hands
But it's not the end of my world, just a little hard to understand
That was yesterday, but today life goes on
You won't find me in yesterday's world, now yesterday's gone
Goodbye yesterday, now it's over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart, yesterday will live on

2. _ Urgent
You're not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you won't come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound
Got fire in your veins, burning hot, but you don't feel the pain
Your desire is insane, you can't stop until you do it again
But sometimes I wonder, as I look in your eyes
Maybe you're thinking of some other guy
But I know, yes I know how to treat you right
That's why you call me in the middle of the night, you say
It's urgent, so urgent, so urgent, just wait and see
How urgent my love can be, it's urgent
You play tricks on my mind, you're everywhere, but you're so hard to find
You're not warm, you're sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental
But I'm not looking for a love that'll last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah there's one thing in common that we both share
That's our need for each other anytime, anywhere
It gets urgent, so urgent, you know it's urgent
I wanna tell you it's the same for me
So urgent, just wait and see, how urgent my love can be, it's urgent
(Solo)
You say it's urgent, make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent, gotta run, make it urgent
Wait it quick, want it urgent, urgent, emergency, urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency, urgent, urgent, emergency
So urgent, emergency

3. _ Starrider
I stole a ride on a passing star
Not knowing where I was going, how near or how far
Through years of light, lands of future and past
Until the heavenly gates were sighted at last
Starrider, take me to the stars, starrider, show me where you are
The Northern lights flashed by, and then they were gone
And those old stars would die, so the new ones were born
And ever on I sail celestial ways
And let the light of my years show the rest of my days
Speed increasing, all control is in the hands of those who know
Will they help us grow, to one day be starrider?
Starrider, show me where you are, starrider, take me to the stars
(Solo)
Speed increasing, all control is in the hands of those who know
Will they help us grow, to one day be starrider?

4. _ Women
Women behind bars, women in fast cars, women in distress, women with no dress
Women in airplanes, women who play games
Women in uniform, see that woman with her clothes gone
Women who satisfy, women you can't buy
Like women in magazines, and women in a limousine
Women who sip champagne, women who feel no pain
Women in a disco, and women who don't wanna know, no no
Oh, women wanting sympathy, women feeling extacy
Women who live in fantasies, bringing man to his knees
Women who boil to love, women who need a shove
Women who can't be beat, get that woman in the back seat, yeah yeah
Women in the USA, those women steal your heart away
Women into rock 'n' roll, women who steal the show, go go go
Women that you write songs about, women that turn around and kick you out
Women you dream about all your life
Women that stab you in the back with a switchblade knife
Oh women, oohoo, talking 'bout women, all 'round the world
Yeah women, all the naughty girls, talking 'bout women, come on baby

5. _ Dirty White Boy
Hey baby, if you're falling down, I know what's good for you all day
Are you worried what your friends see
And will it ruin your reputation loving me?
Cause I'm a dirty white boy, yeah a dirty white boy, a dirty white boy
Don't drive no big black car, don't like no Hollywood movie stars
You want me to be true to you, you don't give a damn what I do to you
I'm just a dirty white boy, dirty white boy, dirty white boy, dirty white boy
(Solo)
Well I'm a dirty white boy, dirty white boy, yeah, dirty white boy
A dirty white boy
I've been in trouble since I don't know when
I'm in trouble now and I know somehow I'll find trouble again
I'm a loner but I'm never alone
Every night I get one step closer to the danger zone
Cause I'm a dirty white boy, yeah, dirty white boy
I'm a dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Come on come on boy, white boy, I'm a dirty white boy, a dirty white boy
Hey I'm a dirty white boy, yeah I'm a dirty white boy, dirty white boy, yeah!

6. _ Head Games
Day light, alright, I don't know, I don't know if it's real
Been a long night, and something ain't right
You won't show, you won't show how you feel
No time ever seems right, to talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It's high time to draw the line, put an end to this game, before it's too late
Head games - it's you and me, baby
Head games - and I can't take it anymore
Head games - I don't wanna play the head games
A daydream, for hours it seems, I keep thinking of you, yeah thinking of you
These daydreams, what do they mean? They keep haunting me, are they warning me
Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer, but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same, and you know who's to blame
You know what I'm saying, still we keep on playing
Head games - that's all I get from you
Head games - and I can't take it anymore
Head games - don't wanna play the head games
(Solo)
So near, yet so far away, we pass eachother by cause we don't know what to say
It's so clear, I'm sorry to say
But if you wanna win, you gotta learn how to play
Head games - always you and me, baby
Head games - till I can't take it anymore
Head games - instead of making love
Head games - oh
Head games - always you and me, baby
Head games - till I can't take it anymore, no more
Head games - instead of making love, we play
Head games
Head games - in the first degree
Head games - yeah, always you and me
Head games - why do you do it, baby
Head games... (to fade)

7. _ Double Vision
Feeling down n' dirty, feeling kinda mean
I've been from one to another extreme
This time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait
I wanna stick around till I can't see straight
Fill my eyes with that double vision, no disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me
Never do more than I really need
My mind is racing, but my body's in the lead
Tonight's the night, I'm gonna push it to the limit
I live all of my years in a single minute
Fill my eyes with that double vision, no disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision always seems to get the best of me - the best of me, yeah
Ooh, double vision, I need my double vision
It takes me out of my head, takin' me out of my head
I get my double vision, oh, seeing double double
Oh, I have double vision, yeah, I'm getting double vision... (to fade)

8. _ Say You Will
Say you will, say you won't make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't wanna be mine
Say you will, say you won't make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you will be mine tonight
I can't sleep, I keep dreaming of losing you
I feel so alone in the night, scared to open my eyes
I'm in too deep, I'm in over my head this time
Can't get you out of my mind, no matter how hard I try
So won't you say you will, say you won't make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you won't be my guidelight
Say you will, say you won't make up your mind this time
Say you do, say you do, you wanna be mine
I get the feeling I've never been here before
'Cos no one I've known's ever moved me the way that you do
And I know this is the real thing, it's all I've been searching for
I put it all on the line, now I'm hoping you feel that way too
And if you do, why don't you
Say you will, say you won't make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't wanna be mine
Now will you say you will, say you won't make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you will, you'll be mine tonight
Will you tell me how much I mean to you, will you say you always will be true
I need more than a come on sign, so won't you say you will be mine
Now won't you say you will, say you won't make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will be my guidelight
Say you will, say you will make up your mind this time
Say you do, say you do, you wanna be mine
Come on, come on, say you will make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will be mine tonight
Be mine tonight - say you will (repeats out)

9. _ Cold As Ice
You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice, someday you'll pay the price, I know
I've seen it before, it happens all the time
You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
You're digging for gold, you're throwing away
A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay
You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise, but someday you'll pay the price, I know
I've seen it before, it happens all the time
You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
You're digging for gold, you're throwing away
A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay
(Solo)
Cold as ice - you know that you are
Cold as ice - as cold as ice to me
Cold as ice
You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know, yes I know
You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know, oh yes I know
You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know, oh yes I know
You're as cold as ice... (to fade)

10. _ Blue Morning, Blue Day
Out in the street it's 6 am, another sleepless night
Three cups of coffee, but I can't clear my head from what went down last night
No we won't have our own little ways, but somehow we keep it together
You hear me talk, but you don't hear what I say, I guess it don't even matter
Chorus:
Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way
Blue morning, can't you see, what your love has done to me
I've always listened to your point of view, my ways are cut through men
And I've always been a patient man, but my patience has reached its end
You tell me you're leaving, you tell me goodbye
You say you might send a letter
Well honey don't telephone, cause I won't be alone
I need someone to make me feel better
chorus
(Solo)
chorus
(Blue morning) blue morning, (blue morning) blue morning
(Blue morning) blue morning, blue blue blue day, yeah

11. _ Juke Box Hero
Standing in the rain with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold-out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six-string, in a second-hand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That one guitar felt good in his hands, didn't take long to understand
Just one guitar, swung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started rocking, ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rocking, someday gonna make it to the top
And be a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes), he's a juke box hero
He took one guitar (juke box hero - stars in his eyes)
Juke box hero (stars in his eyes), he'll come alive tonight
In a town without a name, in a heavy down port
Thought he'd cast his own shadow by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, from that day in the rain
That one guitar played his whole life chain
Now he needs to keep rocking, he just can't stop
Gotta keep on rocking, that boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
Yeah a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
That one guitar (stars in his eyes), he'll come alive, come alive tonight
(Solo)
Yeah, he's gotta keep rocking, he just can't stop
Gotta keep on rocking, that boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)
And just one guitar (juke box hero) put stars in his eyes
Now he's just a juke box hero
Juke box hero, juke box hero, he's got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes

12. _ Waiting For Girl Like You
So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone, when you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone, yeah, really love someone
Now I know it's right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting, waiting for you, ooh, I've been waiting
I've been waiting
(I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting)
Won't you come into my life?

13. _ I Don't Want To Live Without You
I find myself in a strange situation, and I don't know how
What seemed to be an infatuation, is so different now
I can't get by if we're not together, ooh can't you see
Girl I want you now and forever, close to me
I'm longing for the time, I'm longing for the day
Hoping that you will promise to be mine, and never go away
I don't want to live without you, I don't want to live without you
I could never live without you, live without your love
I ask myself, but there's no explanation for the way I feel
I know I've reached the right destination, and I know it's real
I'm longing for the time, I'm longing for the day
When I'll be giving you this heart of mine, believe me when I say
I don't want to live without you, I don't want to live without you
I could never live without you, live without your love
No I don't want to live without you, I don't want to live without you
I could never live without you, live without your love
Now I don't want to live without you, I don't want to live without you
I could never be without you, live be your love
I don't want to live without you, live without your love
(Live without your love) live without your love
(Live without your love) you see, I'm lost without your love
(Live without your love) oooh oh
(Live without your love) without your love... (to fade)

14. _ Feels Like The First Time
I would climb any mountain, sail across the stormy sea
If that's what it takes me baby, to show how much you mean to me
And I guess that it's just the woman in you, that brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself, you're all in the world to me
Chorus:
It feels like the first time, feels like the very first time
It feels like the first time, it feels like the very first time
I have waited a lifetime, spent my time so foolishly
But now that I found you, together we'll make history
And I know that it must be the woman in you, that brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself, you're all my eyes can see
And it feels like the first time, like it never did before
Feels like the first time, like we've opened up the door
Feels like the first time, like it never will again, never again
chorus - open up the door, won't you open up the door
chorus repeats out

15. _ Hot Blooded
Well
Chorus:
I'm hot blooded, check it and see, I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance? I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded
You don't have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you're doin' after the show
Now it's up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, I'll show you lovin' like you never knew
That's why - chorus
If it feels alright, maybe you can stay all night, shall I leave you my key?
But you've got to give me a sign, come on girl, some kind of sign
Tell me, are you hot mama, you sure look that way to me
Are you old enough, will you be ready when I call your bluff?
Is my timing right, did you save your love for me tonight?
Yeah I'm hot blooded, check it and see, feel the fever burning inside of me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance? I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded
(Solo)
Now it's up to you, can we make a secret rendezvous?
Before we do, you'll have to get away from you know who
Well - chorus
(Hot blooded) every night (hot blooded) you're looking so tight
(Hot blooded) now you're driving me wild
(Hot blooded) I'm so (hot blooded) hot for you, child
(Hot blooded) I'm a little bit high, (hot blooded) you're a little bit shy
(Hot blooded) You're making me sing
(Hot blooded) for your (hot blooded) sweet sweet thing

16. _ I Want To Know What Love Is
I gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over
I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb, feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine, it keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far, to change this lonely life
I want to know what love is, I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is, I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time, a little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide, it looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far, to change this lonely life
I want to know what love is, I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is, I know you can show me
I want to know what love is, I want you to show me
(And I wanna feel) I want to feel what love is
(And I know) I know you can show me
Let's talk about love - I want to know what love is
The love that you feel inside - I want you to show me
And I'm feeling so much love - I want to feel what love is
No, you just can't hide - I know you can show me
I want to know what love is (let's talk about love), I know you can show me
I wanna feel it too - I want to feel what love is
I wanna feel it too, and I know and I know - I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah - I want to know what love is...
