01. Have You Ever Seen The Rain? (John Fogerty)

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 it 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

02. Faster Than The Speed Of Night (Jim Steinman)

I don't want to let another minute get by
They're slipping through our fingers, but we're ready to fly
The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
We got the music in our bodies and the radio

And when the morning comes it'll all be gone
Disappearing in(to) the crack of dawn
We better make our move now before the sun is awake
It's time to put up or shut up and to pick up the pace

And I don't want to let another minute get by
Love is going to get us while the moon is in the sky
We may be running out of night, but never running out of steam
We're acting on a hunch, and we'll be acting out a dream

There really isn't any time to lose
They're going to catch us if we wait until it gets too light
You're such a pretty boy
Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
But you gotta move faster
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night

Let me show you how to drive me crazy
Let me show you how to make me feel so good
Let me show you how to take me to the edge of the stars and then back
again
You've gotta show me how to drive you crazy
You've gotta show me all the things you want to happen to you
We've gotta tell each other everything we always wanted someone to do

I don't want to push you now and I don't want to rush
We're getting closer every second now, but close is not enough
The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
We got the music in our fingers and the radio

There really isn't any time to lose
We're going to lose it if we wait until it gets too light
You're such a pretty boy
Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
But you gotta move faster
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And it's all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night

03. Getting So Excited (Alan Gruner)

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 getting' so excited
They're revving it up
He's getting so excited
Excited

The's 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 cliche
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
Light's 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 g so excited
Excited, excited, excited
They're getting so excited
But I'm getting bored, I'm just getting bored...
continue and fade

04. Total Eclipse Of The Heart (Jim Steinman)

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

INSTRUMENTAL

Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turnaround, Every now then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing that I just wouldn't do
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

05. It's A Jungle Out There (Pilger/Polen)

I hear you call it civilization
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Unending nights of temptation
It's a jungle out there
But you just don't care
Each night you dress up to kill them
Down at the watering hole
You stalk your prey with high fashion
With self control, you play the roll
The lonely and the lonely heart hunters
The neon love life, oh it cuts like a knife
I hear you call it civilization
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there

The sounds and shadows surround you
You're swinging vine to vine
Below the nightmare it gathers
It's like a jungle, at feeding time
Clawing through the crowd each night
Oh you set your trap so carefully, a trophy for your wall
Someone has you in their sights
You are both the hunters and the prey, no winners at all
I hear you call it civilization
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Unending nights of temptation
It's a jungle out there
But you just don't care

Unending nights of temptation
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Civilization! Oh!
It's a jungle out there
You call it civilization
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there

06. Goin' Through The Motions (Ian Hunter; Eric Bloom)

CHANT:
In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We're going through it
Nothing to it
All you've got to do is do it
Going through the motions - 1234
I go you go you go me go
Everywhere that we go we'll be
Going through the motions - 123412

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 awhile
Your loving your lies
You're so thinly disguise
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 it I say
That you got what you want, it's OK

Going through the motions
Going through the motions

REPEAT CHANT

07. Tears (with Frankie Miller) (Frankie Miller)

Such a long time ago
Now I know
You've woke up to find
You were wrong
There ain't no doubt
Put me out
Nearly made me blind

You sent me a letter, brought tears to my eyes
Tell me you've changed, after all this time
Like a stone rolling sown the mountainside
It's over, you can't turn the tide, and it's...

CHORUS:
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love

I was glad
To be with you
Near to you
My heart can't deny
I was sad
To leave your side
Stripped of pride
When you said goodbye
For every new road there must be a friend
For every broken heart there must be a mend
And the rain only lasted so long
It's over, the thing we had is gone, and it's...

CHORUS-INSTRUMENTAL

To tell me you've changed brought tears to my eyes
Say you've rearranged after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
It's over, you can't turn the tide, and it's...

CHORUS - REPEAT AND FADE

08. Take Me Back (Billy Cross)

You said it's over now
It's just not right
You said there's a better place for you to be
It's not with me
Then you turned and walked away
I can't believe what I see
And I can't go to sleep at night when I think of how it used to be

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

She takes you out in style
She treats you right
She gives you all the things I never could, she's so good
But don't you think of me
Baby late at night
And I just can't take it boy, together we could be so right

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
All those things we did before
Whatever happened to them
And all those things I've been living for
Gotta start'em all over again

You said it couldn't last
That we were meant to part
A guy like you and a girl like me didn't stand a chance - not from the
start
But then you looked at me
I had to ask you why
As I see and try to find out why you left me for those hungry eyes

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna take me)
Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna take me)
Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna take me)
Take me back...

09. Straight From The Heart (Bryan Adams)

I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreaming
And that's straight from the heart
You said it's easy but who's to stay
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

I'll see you on the street some other time
But all our words will just fall out of line
While we're dreaming
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

(instrumental)

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart
