Lean On Me
Sometimes, in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For, it won't be long
Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show
You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For, it won't be long
Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load
You have to bear, that you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load if you just call me
Call me if you need a friend
Call me…
Learning To Fly
Well it started out
Down a dirty road.
Started out
All alone.
And the sun went down
As I crossed the hill.
And the town lit up,
And the world got still.
I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.
Well the good ol' days
May not return.
And the rocks might melt,
And the sea may burn.
I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.
Well some say life
Will beat you down,
And break your heart,
Steal your crown.
So it started out
For God-knows-where.
I guess I'll know
When I get there.
I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds.
What goes up
Must come down.
I'm learnin to fly
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.
I'm learnin' to fly
Around the clouds.
But what goes up
Must come down.
I'm learnin' to fly.
I'm learnin' to fly.
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
When I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, oh let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be...(x8)
I’m a woman
And here we are
Locked together
Living on this lonely star
But we can stay here
Like the mountains do
Like the leaves we tumble
But baby before we do
Before we do
Let the show begin
Let the orchestra play
Let the dancers in
And we’ll dance the night away
Let the show begin
Get me lost in your kiss
If we don’t remember anything
We’ll sure remember this
If we don’t remember anything
We’ll sure remember this
Who am I, love
Who are you
Locked together
Wondering where we’re going to
An old man told me
How his life just flew
And the years went quickly
But baby before they do
Before they do
Let the show begin
Let the carnival start
Let the dancers in
Take your partners to your hearts
Let the show begin
Let the orchestra play
If we don’t remember anything
We won’t forget today
If we don’t remember anything
We won’t forget today
Ad Libs...
Let the show begin
Get me lost in your kiss
If we don’t remember anything
We’ll sure remember this
If we don’t remember anything
We’ll sure remember this
Ocean...Ocean...
In the darkness of nowhere
There’s nothing at all
And I feel like I’ve been here too long
Shadows and teardrops fading away
And my heart is crying for love
Far from those moments
When my eyes were still closed
And my heartbeat was longing for more
Way over mountains, higher than high
I could feel the breeze from below
Like an Ocean...
Like an Ocean...
Now tell me your secrets
Come closer and whisper
I feel like I’ve seen you before
There’s no more illusions
No more escapes
Cause I’m tired of asking for more
Seems like a lifetime fading away
And I’m lost in an Ocean of Love
I’m reaching and holding onto my dreams
Cause I’m not alone anymore
Like an Ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an Ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an Ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an Ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Spoken:
Far from those moments
When my eyes were still closed
Way over mountains
Higher than high
I could feel the breeze from below
It’s like an Ocean, Ocean...Heeeyehhh
Like An Ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an Ocean...
way over mountains higher than high
Like An Ocean...
way over mountains higher than high
Like an Ocean...
way over mountains higher than high
Repeat & Fade
I can see the glow
Of the distant sun
I can feel it inside
Maybe this day
Could be the one
I can hear the roar
Of the distant crowd
They are waiting for me
Calling my name
Shouting out loud
Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, Limelight
Don’t let me slip right through you fingers
There’s along way to fall
After all the years of waiting
I’m going to show them all
I can see the world
In a different light
Now it’s easy to say
Where I went wrong
What I did right
Holding on isn’t always easy
I am gonna change my mind
Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, Limelight
Don’t let me slip right through you fingers
There’s along way to fall
(Instrumental)
Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Yeah, Limelight
Don’t let me slip right through you fingers
There’s along way to fall
Maybe the road’s not easy
I’m gonna show them all
Put an end to that long cold existence you’ve lived by
Let a warm and loving hand touch your pain
The part of you that is hurting, making you cry
When all the world looks like the devil in a 3-D frame
Pull down defences
Open up your heart
Don’t build defences
‘Cause they’ll only fall apart
‘Cause it’s a live-in world
A live-in world
It’s a live-in world
A live-in world
It’s a live-in world
It’s alright by me
So why can’t you see
It’s a live-in world
A live-in world
It’s a live-in world
Alone and afraid and it’s all inside
It starts breaking
And we cry from inside
But the help is denied once again
And your heart has grown cold
‘Cause you’ve grown so old
Bones aching
You’ll be a slave to that white-powered whore
‘Til the dragon is slayed
‘Cause it’s a live-in world
A live-in world
It’s a live-in world
A live-in world
It’s a live-in world
It’s alright by me
So why can’t you see
It’s a live-in world
A live-in world
It’s a live-in world
Etc...repeat and fade...
A boy is born in Hardtime Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain’t so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong, movin’ in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city, Yeah
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you’d best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city
His sister’s black, but she is sho ‘nuff pretty
Her skirt is short, but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school, she’s got to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Her brother’s smart, he’s got more sense than many
His patience’s long, but soon he won’t have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle, ‘cause
Where he lives, they don’t use coloured people
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Living just enough for the city
I was lost in France
In the fields the birds were singing
I was lost in France
And the day was just beginning
As I stood there in the morning rain
I had a feeling I can’t explain
I was lost in France in love
I was lost in France
In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn’t catch what they were saying
When I looked up he was standing there
And I knew I shouldn’t but I didn’t care
I was lost in France in love
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
I was lost in France
And the vines were over-flowing
I was lost in France
And a million stars were glowing
And I looked round for a telephone
To say ‘baby I won’t be home’
I was lost in France in love
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
And I looked round for a telephone
To say ‘baby I won’t be home’
I was lost in France in love
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing...out
Louise
I watched you move so self assured
So merciless, so quiet
You chose your prey - eyes cold and grey
You feel compeiled to try it
Any woman could see
What you were trying to do to me
Louise, can't see the wood for the trees
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in it's home
Woman to woman, oh please
Louise, woman to woman, oh please
Leave him alone
Find a love on your own
Don't bring my world to it's knees
You´re dressed to kill, you always will
Need heads to keep on turning
Love's not skin deep, it's hard to keep
It's what you´re never learning
Any woman could see
What you were trying to do to me
Louise, can't see the wood for the trees
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in it's home
Woman to woman, oh please
Louise, woman to woman, oh please
Leave him alone
Find a love on your own
Don't bring my world to it's knees
Oh, no no no no no no no
Louise, can't see the wood for the trees
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in it's home
Woman to woman, oh please
Louise, woman to woman, oh please
Leave him alone
Find a love on your own
Oh, I'm begging you please
Louise, can't see the wood for the trees
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in it's home
Woman to woman, oh please
Louise, woman to woman, oh please
Leave him alone
Find a love on your own
Don't bring my world to it's knees
Il Est Mon Homme (Louise)
Rien ne me prouve
Ce que jéprouve
Quand je devine
Dans ton jeu
To le désir
Tout le plaisir
Que tu inspires
Dans ses yeux
Il est tout ce que je suis
Je ne peux pas vivre sans lui
Louise
Je t'en prie éncoute moi
Il est mon homme
Rien n'y personne
Ne l'éloignera de moi
Louise
Je t'en prie n'insiste pas
Ne comments pas cette faute
Il est mon homme
Je ne te l'abandonnerai pas
You´re dressed to kill, you always will
Need heads to keep on turning
Love's not skin deep, it's hard to keep
It's what you´re never learning
Any woman could see
What you were trying to do to me
Louise
Je t'en prie éncoute moi
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in it's home
Woman to woman, oh please

Well it was out in California
By the San Diego Sea
That was when I was taken in
And it left its mark on me
Yeah it nearly drove me crazy
‘Cause I felt I had no choice
Yeah it seemed that I was only marking time
With all those sailor boys
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And I’m noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge
South Carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black
Somewhere on a lonely street
And I still can’t quite remember
Who helped me to my feet
But thank God for this long neck bottle
The angel’s remedy
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face
Washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge
Well I never will get over
This English refugee
Singing to the Juke Box in some
All-Nite Beanery
Yeah he was eating hard rock candy
And chasing it with tea
You should have seem him lick his lips
When he looked up at me
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And I’m noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge
Ooh run away lucky while you still know the way
If you’re looking’ for your chance for one good payday
Do you really think you’ve got a ghost of a chance?
It’s the coldest of towns to be lookin’ for romance
Ooh run away baby - you’re too young to see
The way it’s goin’ down on the city streets
When trouble comes around there is no mystery
You’re running’ from it all so you better run now
Love is in pieces - put it back together now
It’s supposed to be easy - but it’s so so mad
All the things we say
When the world’s gone crazy - it’s so hard to handle
Sooner or later it’ll all come clearer
When love is in love again
Ooh pictures in the paper of the faces you’ve seen
Walking down the halls where justice is done
What they say they say is not what they mean?
A different set of rules than are meant for you and me
Everybody’s looking for an easier way
So go go go go
Everybody running from a shadow today
But they run so slow
You hate old Chicago ,in the winter time
When the cold wind blows right through you
And you said it ain’t no fun
You called west a dream come true
Then one week it got the best of you
On a path lying in that Oklahoma sun
Swore if this day ever came
There’d be no strings, no playing games
Misty eyes and sad goodbyes to say
When love is gone why try to put
A finger on what happened
When somewhere down the road
It slipped away
All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms
A wedding ring and a simple thing called home
All you ever gave me was a look at some old highway
The sky above and the love of a rolling stone
I remember when you told me
That you’d always be a drifting man
And you didn’t need another hungry mouth to feed
And I won’t bring a child into a world between roses
And a thorn and the side of a tumbling tumbleweed
One day you may miss me
But I hope you don’t feel guilty
Go chase the sun until your dying day
But inside me there’s a second little heartbeat
That goes with me
And the one more thing that happened on the way
All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms
A wedding ring and a simple thing called home
All you ever gave me was a look at some old highway
The sky above and the love of a rolling stone
It’s a love tangle
Something we don’t understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
We don’t understand
Billy he loves me
But, I just don’t love him
Cause I only love Bobby
But Bobby loves Ann
Ann she loves Billy
But his eyes are on me
But I only see Bobby
But Bobby loves Ann
We’ve got ourselves a love tangle
Something we don’t understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
Looks like a love tangle
Something we don’t understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
We don’t understand
Like a love story
With the final page missing
It’s a four-way heartbreaker
Cause Bobby loves Ann
We’ve got ourselves a love tangle
Something we don’t understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
Looks like a love tangle
Something we don’t understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
We don’t understand
I got pictures of you in funny poses
Letters from you with pressed yellow roses
I’ve got souvenirs of fun times together
And I’ll cherish those years and you can bet I’m forever
I know we’ll be lovers again, darling
I know we’ll be lovers again
It’s a matter of time
Till you see that I’m
The one in the end, I was your friend
Lovers again
I got pictures of you with stolen kisses
We looked so young and so full of promise
And we had those dreams
But they’re not forgotten
Cause I’ll build that house with the yellow rose garden
I know we’ll be lovers again, darling
I know we’ll be lovers again
It’s a matter of time
Till you see that I’m
The one in the end, I was your friend
Lovers again
Instrumental
There’s a picture of you in yesterday’s paper
With that smile I knew and the new name you’ve taken
And I’ll live each day without being bitter
Cause we weren’t that way
And I know it’s not over
I know we’ll be lovers again, darling
I know we’ll be lovers again
It’s a matter of time
Till you see that I’m
The one waiting there and in the end
We’ll be lovers again
Girl:
When the sky is falling and you’re looking round for somewhere to hide
Did you ever call out to someone
Did you ever call out to me, I’ve never been gone-
I’ve been right here by your side
There ain’t nothin’ but clouds
There ain’t nothin’ but clouds in your eyes
Why don’t you believe it when you finally found the truth
Youve been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth
Why don’t you stop tearing up everyone you need the most
You’re so busy trying to get even
You never even try to get close
I can’t explain it away
It doesn’t make any sense
To know what it’s like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn’t matter baby
Loving you’s a dirty job
But somebody’s gotta do it
Boy:
There were times when we’d never fake it
There were times when we’d always make it
There were times when we’d take it to the limit
And we’d never, never, ever leave each other alone
We were flesh and blood and bone
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
(Alt/ Same)
Both:
There were times when we took our chances
There were times we were damn good dancers
There were times when we heard all the answers
In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll
I can see right through your soul
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
Boy:
If your fears could only be forgotten
We could pull all of the barriers down
Would you follow your dreams’ desire
Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire
Let’s just peel out of this town
Both:
It’s been nothing but dreams
It’s been nothing but dreams until now
Boy:
You’re never gonna see it
Both:
You got your head stuck in the sand
Boy:
It’s the land of the free and easy Street
Girl:
It’s the home of the damned
Boy:
You’re never gonna see it
Both:
You better open up your eyes
Girl:
You’re the only one who’s left-
Both:
Who’s gonna believe all your lies
Boy:
I can’t explain it away
It doesn’t make any sense
Both:
To know what it’s like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn’t matter baby
Girl:
Loving you’s a dirty job
But somebody’s gotta do it
Boy:
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can’t stop missing
There were times that we’d lay in bed and listen
Both:
To the pounding, pounding chorus of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
Girl:
There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars
Boy:
There were times we extinguished every fire
Both:
That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive
From the heavens on down to the dives
There were times we lost it all we lost it all
There were times we lost it all we lost it all
There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars
Both:
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can’t stop missing
There were times that we’d lay in bed and listen
To the pounding, pounding chorus of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
It’s gonna take time for us to trust again
I can see it in your eyes
All these walls you’ve been building around yourself
To keep the hurt away
Keep the tenderness inside
We’ve gotta find doors
Gotta find an open road to your heart
Came on baby…
You gotta be strong
Life is what you make it
I’m hanging on
Love’s right here, just take it
Whatever is wrong
It won’t take it long to make it right
We can make it right tonight
We’ve got to find words to heal these differences
Gotta find some peace of mind
There’ll come a day you’ll realise |
