I can’t see in the dark, but I see you
Words don’t come from your heart, but they get through
Something’s happened to you, something’s happened to me
Someone’s changing our lives, I know it isn’t me
Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there’s love and there’s love
So get out of my head and get into my heart
Not much more I can do, than what I’ve done
You shot me through the heart, without a gun
Something’s happened to you, something’s happened to me
Someone’s changing our lives, I know it isn’t me
Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there’s love and there’s love
So get out of my head and get into my heart
Something’s happened to you, something’s happened to me
Someone’s changing our lives, I know it isn’t me
Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there’s love and there’s love
So get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
The room’s all set and the door bell is ringing
The first to arrive switch their dials to swinging
The lights are dim to match the conversation
Strangers grin that stoned expression
He looks so cool says a girl with a giggle
His handkerchief bulge slipping from the middle
Strokes his chin as his eyes refocus Tonight’s victim smiles back
He’s gettin’ so excited
They’re revving it up
He’s getting so excited
Excited
The music’s dark begins to get blacker
People start to move towards each other
Some hold back some peel off the layers
The atmosphere erupts with the drunken liberators
Walls flare up with animated shadows As dancers jump like emancipated jackals
It won’t be long till the first couple’s cliché She turns to him to say
“I’d do anything for love, but I won’t do that!”
She’s getting so excited
They’re trashing it up
She’s getting so excited
Excited
The smoke mist clears to reveal drunken Jimmy
Whose just turned up, seen his woman getting friendly
With a charmer boy in a second-hand leather
Lights go green there’s gonna be danger With two great strides there’s a push and scuffle
You can’t make out through the naked muscle
A high pitched scream a broken bottle A ribbon of blood on the floor
They’re getting so excited
But I want some more
They’re getting so excited
Down on the floor
They’re getting so excited
Excited, excited, excited
They’re getting so excited
But I’m getting bored, I’m just getting bored... continue and fade
I can’t help if the world is going crazy
And the headlines get more frightening everyday
Just as long as I’m in there with you baby
It’s okay, it’s okay
Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby I need you now...x3
I don’t usually talk about my feelings
But with you there’s such a lot I want to say
And as long as your the one that I believe in
It’s okay, it’s okay
Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby I need you now...x4
And as long as your the one that I believe in
It’s okay, it’s okay
Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby I need you now...x8
I have given it all
I have taken all the punches
Back into the corner I crawl
Now the dice have tumbled
How the mightly stumble and fall
I have given it all
Left to dry in the rain
Washed away by love’s indifference
Broken down, twisted and lame
Hold me for a moment
Help me find myself once again
Take me in from the rain
Shelter me from this pain
We wander from the straight and narrow and we
Make the bed of nails that we lie upon
We only need the warmth of love when it has gone
Bring me in from the cold
At the end of every rainbow
I’d have it all, I was told
But in time, as colours faded
Promises I traded for gold
Bring me in from the cold
And let me live with my soul
I’m searching for the strength inside of me
But the road is long when you’ve lost your way
I reach out for a guiding light, it fades to grey
I have given it all
There’ve been times I may have hurt you
Times I should have given you more
But through it all just know I’ve loved you
Think before you walk out the door
I’ve got my back to the wall
I have given it all
I have given it all
There were times
When I was young and free
And I said I’ll need nobody
Only you eternally
But tonight I’m feelin’ so alone
And I know I need somebody
But your heart is made of stone
And I know I need somebody
But your heart is made of stone
*Tonight don’t last forever, babe
Tonight my dreams can come true, baby
Cause there’s no mountain high enough
If God gave love to you
All my dreams are just memory
Of a river full of love, babe
To my endless destiny
Oh you said you’d make
My dreams come true
But I have never been so lonely
I have never been so blue
Oh I need, I need your love, babe
And you know you need me, too
(*Repeat)
Oh if God gave love to you, no
Oh no, oh no no no no no no no no no
(*Repeat)
Oh baby, God gave love to you
Oh baby, baby, God gave love to you

CHANT:
In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We’re going through it
v Nothing to it
v All you’ve got to do is do it
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
I go you go you go me go
Everywhere that we go we’ll be
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
1,2
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
I don’t really care
Cause you’re going nowhere
You’ve got nothing but fear in your eyes
You’re leading me on
But you can be anyone
Cause I know you’ll be gone when I rise
And we’re going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Staying with you
Gave us something to do
I always thought it was true for a while
Your loving your lies
You’re so thinly disguised
You couldn’t tell right from wrong if you tried
And we’re going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
To thee I’ll dedicate this photograph
I’ll even sign it love to you, again
And when it’s faded and forgotten in some book
You’ll sometimes look
You’ll sometimes look
You’ll sometimes look
INSTRUMENTAL
It’s a game it’s a game
No let’s call it a shame
Cause there’s no one to blame
It’s a pain
You were a friend for a day
So don’t cry if I say
That you got what you want, it’s OK
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
REPEAT CHANT
I’m sat here all alone
Here in my one room home
No one comes ‘round no more
No one knocks on my door
Was high, then came the fall
The tax man took it all
I didn’t play the rules
I was a careless fool
But it’s gonna get better
Feel it in my bones
Just got to hold you ‘cause I’m all alone
I need your touch
I need you here to stay
This time I’ll never let you get away
They laughed at all my jokes
Look around, where are those crazy folks?
I think of real good times
Those wasted partying nights
Just bring your loving home
Don’t waste love on the phone
I love you yes it’s true
Hell’s what I’ve been going through
There’ll be more ups and downs
Please make that turn around
Not that we’ve played ‘away’
You’re coming home to stay
And it’s gonna get better
Feel it in my bones
Just got to hold you ‘cause I’m all alone
I need your touch
I need you here to stay
Never ever gonna let you get away
Feel it in my bones
Feel it in my bones
‘Cause I’m all alone
**Goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It’s gone like a dream in the night
And it won’t be back again
Goodbye to the island
Where our bodies touched
Goodbye to a little bit of heaven
And I miss you so much
*(Oh) Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
A bed it is an island
A world apart
Soft words in the middle of the night
Straight from the heart
Two heads on a pillow
So warm, so close
Goodbye to the island
Where, where it mattered the most
*repeat
**repeat
*repeat and fade
Hey, yeah, yeah
Waking in the early morning
Thinking of you softly
From The way my heart is hurting
You might as well have shot me
Shot me
Falling out of Heaven’s highway
Landing in the ocean
Drowning in a sea of heartache
I swear on my devotion
To you
I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to having you ‘round me
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can’t let go
I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to touching you honey
Got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can’t let go
Waking in the early morning
Thinking of your magic
Why’d you have to disappear boy?
Don’t you know it’s tragic
Baby it’s tragic
I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to having you ‘round me
Got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can’t let go
Oh, I’m loving you baby
I got so used to touching you honey
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can’t let go
Oh, I’m loving you baby
I got so used to touching you honey
Oh-oh, I’m loving you baby
And baby I can’t let go
I got so used to touching you baby
I got so used to loving you honey
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can’t let go
Someone told me long ago
There’s a calm before the storm
I know, and it’s been coming for sometime
When it’s over so they say
It’ll bring a sunny day
I know, shining down like water
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hot
I know, been that way for all my time
Till forever on it goes
Fill the circle fast and slow
I know, and I can’t stop my wonder
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day
INSTRUMENTAL
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day
Have you ever seen the rain...repeat and fade
No matter how hard I try
No matter how many days go by
I really can’t make this feeling go away
Whenever I change my mind
Whenever I turn my head around
The only one I can see every single day
He’s got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He’s got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you
Whenever he’s somewhere else
I try to remember if I can
When if only I could forget
I think I’d be just fine
I wonder where he came from
I wonder what name he answers to
Whatever he calls himself
I’d like to call him mine
He’s got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He’s got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you
It could be my low resistance
And you can all be as smug as hell
But you all better keep your distance
Unless you wanna get burnt as well
Whenever he walks on by
And looks at me then I know
That he is never letting go
He’s got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He’s got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you
He’s seen all the changes
‘Been going up and down
Had to rearrange it
But never lost his crown
Never was afraid of
Playing his last round
He is, he is the king
Look into his face
It never told you lies
Falling down from grace
Has been more than twice
But there’s always one thing
You should realise
He is, he is the king
He is the king
No one else will be around
He is the king
Sometimes lost but now he’s found
Without losing all, you won’t touch sacred ground
He is, he is the king
He is the king
Loving her was easy,
They were day and night
Trying to release her
Was a never ending fight
He had only one chance
Playing for her life
He is, he is the king
But there’s always one thing
You should realise
He is, he is the king
He is the king
No one else will be around
He is the king
Sometimes lost but now he’s found
Without losing all, you won’t touch sacred ground
He is, he is the king
He is the king
No one else will be around
He is the king
Sometimes lost but now he’s found
Without losing all, you won’t touch sacred ground, yeah
He is, he is the king
He is the king
I know there is an answer
To the question we ask in the night
I know you are a dancer
Here and gone like the wind out of sight
Carry me to our heart’s fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
Tell me we’ll live together
In a place where cool breezes blow
I know nothing’s forever
Yet there is still so much we should know
Carry me to our heart’s fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
I see the hope in your eyes
I feel the heat rising high
Tell me the night is all mine
We’ll be the love in the light
The love that’s alive
Carry me to our heart’s fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
Free me from this time lonely
‘Cause this life is too short to pass by
Be the one and only
Reaching for love in the light
Carry me to our heart’s fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
Heaven is here - Here in your arms
Here where we live
There’s peace in this winter night
Pain has forever gone away
Oceans and winds are calm
And the stars so bright
Come and stay beside me
Come and be my friend
Heaven has opened it’s arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...
Far from the city lights
By an open fire
Come let’s start again
Start all over again...
Heaven has opened it’s arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...
Heaven has opened it’s arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...
Heaven has opened it’s arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...
Let the Angels say Hello... Heaven...Heaven...
In the middle of a sleepless night
Got a feeling and it just ain’t right
The feeling just grows in my mind
Something’s missing in the way we kiss
Never had so many nights like this
Feels like a dream but it’s true
I know I don’t take you to heaven anymore
I can tell by the way you touch me
It’s nothing like before
I know I don’t take you to heaven anymore
I can tell by the way you love me
It’s nothing like before
I can tell by the way you love me
It’s nothing like before
In the middle of a lonely day
Though you’re with me you’re so far away
We used to be close, real close
Baby, don ‘t you see the danger signs?
A love like ours is hard to find
Something’s gone wrong, can’t you see?
I know I don’t take you to heaven anymore
I can tell by the way you touch me
It’s nothing like before
I know I don’t take you to heaven anymore
I can tell by the way you love me
It’s nothing like before
I can tell by the way you love me
It’s nothing like before
Oh I know I don’t take you to heaven anymore
I can tell by the way you touch me
It’s nothing like before
I know I don’t take you to heaven anymore
I can tell by the way you love me
It’s nothing like before
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
Here am I next to you wondering what we ought to do
Can’t afford to lose it all again
Here am I, there are you, we nearly broke our hearts in two
Would have been the worst thing in the world
When I thought that we could live apart
I must have been crazy, what a fool I was
What a fool from the moment you got in my heart
I should have known baby, but now I know, oh!
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again
Wondering’ why I wanted to be free
When I thought that we could live apart
I must have been crazy, what a fool I was
What a fool from the moment you got in my heart
I should have known baby, but now I know, oh!
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again
Wondering’ why I wanted to be free
Here am I next to you wondering’ what we ought to do
Can’t afford to lose it all again
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again
Here am I, there are you, we nearly broke our hearts in two
Would have been the worst thing in the world
Shade begins to steal the light
Confusion throws another mystery
It’s out of focus with the eyes
So now you wonder is this just a dream?
Here she comes, here she comes
She’s gonna cause a sensation now
And just between you and me
I think she’ll soon have you temptation bound
Suppose? Who know? she’s not above suspicion
Is she? Maybe? on some kind of secret mission
Better listen
Somewhere, somehow
There’s still some pieces missing
I sense, I feel, trust my intuition
Don’t rush into your decision
Now here’s a riddle in the rhyme
If she’s the same how come she’s different now?
The same old eyes, but not the shine
You know you’re certain, but you’re full of doubt
Now here she comes, here she comes
She’s gonna have you at her beck and call
So why refuse? Yeah why contend?
When all resistance is impossible
Somewhere, somehow
There’s still some pieces missing
I sense, I feel, trust my intuition
Don’t rush into your decision
Now here she comes, here she comes
She’s gonna have you at her beck and call
So why refuse? Yeah why contend?
When all resistance is impossible
Here she comes, here she comes
This lady’s serious, make no mistake
Face to face and eye to eye
She’ll cast a spell that you may never break
Here’s Monday
And the day is just beginning
And the sun is in my eyes
And the overnight sensation of loving you so much
Has brought us to this morning of goodbyes
Here’s Monday
And the truth is just beginning
To dawn up on my mind
The comfort of your body
The touching of your lips
For ever more are leaving me behind
Goodbye my love
We came this far by being careful lovers
We came this far without once hurting others
Better leave you now before we change our minds
Goodbye my love
We came this far without once hurting others
Better leave you now before we change our minds
Here’s Monday
And the day is just beginning
And your face is in my eyes
Just an ordinary morning somewhere in this world
A little bit of heaven slowly dies
Goodbye my love
We came this far by being careful lovers
We came this far without once hurting others
Better leave you now before we change our minds
Goodbye my love
We came this far without once hurting others
Better leave you now before we change our minds
Here’s Monday
And the day is just beginning
And you face is in my eyes
Just an ordinary morning somewhere in this world
A little bit of heaven slowly dies
This love you give me baby, I do believe in
‘Cause while the world goes crazy, you keep me breathing
And if you had to leave me I couldn’t let you
And the way my arms have held you, they can’t forget you
Hey love, it’s a feeling inside
Hey love, it’s a feeling that I can’t describe
Hey love, it’s a feeling that I just can’t hide
Now I know, Oh Lord, how I know, now I know what it’s like
This love you give me baby, Oh keep on giving
‘Cause while the world goes crazy, you keep me living
And if you had to leave me I couldn’t let you
And the way my arms have held you, they can’t forget you
Hey love, it’s a feeling inside
Hey love, it’s a feeling that I can’t describe
Hey love, it’s, a feeling that I just can’t hide
Now I know, Lord, how I know, now I know what it’s like
Hey love, it’s a feeling inside
Hey love, it’s a feeling that I can’t describe
Hey love, it’s a feeling that I just can’t hide
Now I know, Lord, how I know, now I know what it’s like
Johnny saw her ridin’ on a streetcar named “desire”
His fate was sealed
She could see him comin’ like a hundred other liars
It was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
Tito, he was king op the streets
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown
Johnny better run, better run....
Better hide your heart
Better hold on tight
Better say your prayers
Cause there’s trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart
Cause you’re playin’ with fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah/ hey, hey, hey/do, do, do, do...
The ride was over but the story doesn’t end
He took her heart
She looked him in the eye
And said they couldn’t meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa’s messin’ with someone
It was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run...
Johnny’s holdin’ Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldn’t hear him comin’
Till he had them both in sight
You could feel the chill
A shot rang out like thunder
And the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies there dyin’
Lovers finally understand....
Hold Out Your Heart
I'm imaging a letter
I would write to you
How it might make me feel better
To get this message through
I would put it down so clearly
In black and white
Just how much I need you really
And just how much I might
Compromise to make us work
Yeah, compromise to ease all this hurt
Hold out your heart
And I will take it
Don't you make it
Hard on us
Hold out your heart
We can do it
We can get through it
Without a fuss
'Cos all we need is communication
Seeing eye to eye
And station to station
And I know that when you´re reading
These words from me
You'll get a grip on why I'm pleading
For your hard head to see
That all we need is communication
Seeing eye to eye
And station to station
Hold out your heart
I will accept it
You know, you have kept it
Hidden far too long
Hold out your heart
Don't be scared now
To win we must dare now
We can't go wrong
Hold out your heart
And I will take it
Don't you make it
Hard on us
Hold out your heart
We can do it
We can get through it
Without a fuss
