Side 1

Baby I'm Amazed at the way you love me
all the time.
and maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me
out of time, and hung me on a line, and maybe
I'm amazed at the way I really need you.

Middle
Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
whose in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Baby I'm a man maybe you're the only woman
who could ever help me,
Baby, won't you help me to understand.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me
all the time,
and maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you,
maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me
sing my song,
right me when I'm wrong,
and maybe I'm amazed at the way I really
need you.

Middle
Baby I’m a man, (REPEAT)…

I look high, I look low
I’m looking everywhere I go
Looking for a home
In the heart of the country

I'm going to move, l'm going to go
I'm going to tell everyone I know
Looking for a home
In the heart of the country

Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow

Want a horse, I want a sheep
I want get me a good night's sleep
Living in a home
In the heart of the country

I'm going to move, l'm going to go
I'm going to tell everyone I know
Living in a home
In the heart of the country

Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Wo wo wo

Want a horse, I got a sheep
I’m going to get me a good night’s sleep
Living in a home in the heart of the country

I'm going to move, l'm going to go
I'm going to tell everyone I know
In the heart of the country

Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Wo wo wo

Jet, Jet,
Jet I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told them that you were going to be marrying soon
And Jet I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
Jet Jet Jet

Jet was your father as bold as the sergeant major
How come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet
And Jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette
Jet Jet Jet

Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater . . . much later
Jet
And Jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette
Jet Jet
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater . . . much later
Jet with the wind in your hair
Of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky
And Jet I thought
that the major was a little lady suffragette

Jet-Jet-Jet
And Jet you know I thought
you was a little lady suffragette
Jet
A little lady
My little lady . . . yes

A love so warm and beautiful
Stands when time itself is falling
A love so warm and beautiful
Never fades away

Love, faith and hope are beautiful
When your world is touched by sadness
To each his own is wonderful
Love will never die

Sunlight’s morning glory
Tells the story of our love
Moonlight on the water
Brings me inspiration ever after

A love so warm and beautiful
Stands when time itself is calling
A love so warm and beautiful
Never fades away
Never fades away

Any time, any day,
You can hear the people say,
That love is blind
Well I don’t know but I say love is kind

Soldier boy kisses girl
Leaves behind a tragic world
But he won’t mind
He’s in love and he says love is fine

Oh–yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
–that’s what the man said
So won’t you listen to what the man said

He said…

Oh–yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
–that’s what the man said
So won’t you listen to what the man said

He said…

Oh–yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
–that’s what the man said
So won’t you listen to what the man said

The wonder of it all baby……
The wonder of it all baby……

I guess you never knew, Dear Boy
What you had found
I guess you never knew, Dear Boy
That she was just the cutest thing around
I guess you never knew what you had found, Dear Boy

I guess you never saw, Dear Boy
That love was there
And maybe when you look too hard, Dear Boy
You never do become aware
I guess you never did become aware, Dear Boy

When I stepped in, my heart was down and out
But her love came through and brought me ‘round
Got me up and about

Dear Boy
Dear Boy
Dear Boy
Dear Boy

When I stepped in, my heart was down and out
But her love came through and brought me round
Got me up and about

I hope you never know, Dear Boy
How much you missed
And even when you fall in love, Dear Boy
It won't be half as good as this
I hope you never know how much you missed, Dear Boy
How much you missed
Dear Boy

Side 2

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me
and I see it isn't so
Some people want to fill the world
with silly love songs
and what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
cos here I go again

I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you

Ah, I can't explain
the feeling's plain to me
Now can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more
she gave it all to me
Now can't you see?
What's wrong with that?
I need to know
cos here I go again

I love you, I love you

Love doesn't come in a minute
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly
Love isn't silly at all

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?

I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you

Ah, I can't explain
The feeling's plain to me
Say, can't you see?

Ah, he gave me more
He gave it all to me
Say, can't you see?

Ah, I can't explain
The feeling's plain to me
Say, can't you see?

Ah, he gave me more
He gave it all to me
Say, can't you see?

Ah, I can't explain
The feeling's plain to me
Say, can't you see?

Ah, he gave me more
He gave it all to me
Say, can't you see?

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no,
Some people want to fill the world
with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?

For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life
We could jaw through the night
Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah, we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time

Take a sip, see the world through a glass
And speculate about the cosmic solution
To the sound, blue guitars
Caught up in a philosophical discussion
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah, we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time

For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life
We could jaw through the night
Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah, we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah, we always came back

Take a sip, see the world through a glass
And speculate about the cosmic solution
To the sound, blue guitars
Caught up in a philosophical discussion
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yes, we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah

We always came back to the songs we were singing

We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I’m gonna rain

We're so sorry, but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen we'll be sure to give a ring

(Spoken)
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But the kettle's on the boil
And we're so easily called away

Hands across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (water)
Heads across the sky

Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and a butter pie

Hands across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around (get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around (get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

Hands across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (water)
Heads across the sky

Ev'ry day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair
It's just another day
Slipping into stockings, stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
It's just another day
At the office where the papers grow she takes a break,
Drinks another coffee and she finds it hard to stay awake
It's just another day

Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day

So sad, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell
Ah, stay, don't stand her up
And he comes and he stays but he leaves the next day
So sad
Sometimes she feels so sad

As she posts another letter to the sound of five,
People gather 'round her and she finds it hard to stay alive.
It's just another day

Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day

So sad, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell
Ah, stay, don't stand her up
And he comes and he stays but he leaves the next day
So sad
Sometimes she feels so sad

Ev'ry day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair
It's just another day

Slipping into stockings, stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
Ah, it's just another day

Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day

Don’t look at me
It’s way too soon to see
What’s gonna be, don’t look at me
All my life
I never knew what I could be
What I could do
Then we were new
oo-oo-oo-oo

You came along
And made my life a song
One lucky day you came along
Just in time
While I was searching for a rhyme
You came along
Then we were new
oo-oo-oo-oo

We can do what we want
We can live as we choose
You see there’s no guarantee
We’ve got nothing to lose

Don’t look at me
I can’t deny the truth
It’s plain to see, don’t look at me
All my life
I never knew what I could be
What I could do
Then we were new
oo-oo-oo-oo

We can do what we want
We can live as we choose
You see there’s no guarantee
We’ve got nothing to lose

Don’t look at me
It’s way too soon to see
What’s gonna be, don’t look at me
All my life
I never knew what I could be
What I could do
Then we were new
oo-oo-oo-oo

New con't

Then we were new
oo-oo-oo-oo
Now we are new
oo-oo-oo-oo

Like so many girls
Jenny Wren could sing
But a broken heart
Took her song away

Like the other girls
Jenny Wren took wing
She could see the world
And its foolish ways

How we spend our days
Casting love aside
Losing sight of life day by day

She saw poverty
Breaking up a home
Wounded warriors
Took her song away

But the day will come
Jenny Wren will sing
When this broken world
Mends its foolish ways

Then we’ll spend our days
Catching up on life
All because of you Jenny Wren
You saw who we are Jenny Wren

Mull of Kintyre 
Oh mist rolling in from the sea 
My desire is always to be here 
Oh Mull of Kintyre 

Far have I travelled and much have I seen 
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts, the sunset's on fire 
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre 
Oh mist rolling in from the sea 
My desire is always to be here 
Oh Mull of Kintyre

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen 
Carry me back to the days I knew then
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir 
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre  

Mull of Kintyre 
Oh mist rolling in from the sea 
My desire is always to be here 
Oh Mull of Kintyre

Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain 
Still take me back where my memories remain 
Flickering embers grow higher and higher 
As they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre  

Mull of Kintyre 
Oh mist rolling in from the sea 
My desire is always to be here 
Oh Mull of Kintyre

I can try to give you
Everything you ever wanted
You’re not hard to please
And the only thing I’m asking
In return is something
You can give with ease

Keep on sending your love
In the heat of battle
You got something that’ll
Save us, save us now

Got a feeling there’s a
Jungle rhythm beating in me
When I’m close to you
I don’t really want to
Ask too many favours, but there’s
Something you can do

Keep on sending your love
In the heat of battle
We got something that’ll
Save us, save us now

Oh oh oh oh you’re my woman
Oh oh oh oh keep it coming
Oh oh oh oh you’ve got something
That could save us, save us

Keep on sending your love
Oh oh oh oh
Cos in the heat of battle
You got something that’ll
Save us, save us now
Save us now
Save us now

Like a sunflake in the morning
Feel the quiet
Feel the thunder
Every ladder leads to heaven
Coloured pencils
Draw the picture
See the changes
As you’re sleeping
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
See the changes
Drawing over
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
Like a sunflake in the morning
Feel the quiet
Feel the thunder
Every ladder leads to heaven
Coloured pencils
Draw the picture
Sing your praises
As you’re sleeping
See the changes
Any wonder
Feel the sense of childlike wonder
Sing your praises
As you’re sleeping
See the changes
As you’re sleeping
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
See the changes
Drawing over
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
Sing your praises
As you’re sleeping
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
See the changes
Drawing over
Everybody has a sense of childlike wonder

Childlike wonder

Sing your praises
As you’re sleeping
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
See the changes
Drawing over
Everybody has a sense of childlike wonder

Saw a friend walking by
He was jogging
I said hi
He said “can’t stop being timed”

Down in the jungle living in a tent
You don't use money you don't pay rent
You don't ever know the time
But you don't mind

Ho Hey Ho . . .

When your light is on the blink
You never think of worrying
What's the use of worrying?
When your bus has left the stop
You'd better drop your hurrying
What's the use of hurrying?
Leave me alone Mrs Vandebilt
I've got plenty of time of my own
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?

Ho Hey Ho . . .

What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?

Ho Hey Ho . . .

When your pile is one the wane
You don't complain of robbery
Run away don't bother me
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of anything?
Leave me alone Mrs. Washington
I've done plenty of time on my own

What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying? (no use!)
What's the use of anything?

Ho Hey Ho . . .

Side 8

Too many people going underground
Too many reaching for a piece of cake
Too many people pulled and pushed around
Too many waiting for that lucky break

That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you
You broke it in two

Too many people sharing party lines
Too many people never sleepin’ late
Too many people paying parking fines
Too many hungry people losing weight

That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you
You broke it in two

Too many people preaching practices
Don't let them tell you what you want to be
Too many people holding back
This is crazy
And baby, it's not like me

That was your last mistake
I find my love awake and waiting to be
Now what can be done for you
She's waiting for me

With a little luck we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
With a little love we can lay it down
Can't you feel the town exploding

There is no end to what we can do together
There is no end
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you

And a little luck, we can clear it up
We can bring it in for a landing
With a little luck we can turn it on
There can be no misunderstanding

There is no end to what we can do together
There is no end
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
We can do it, just me and you

With a little push, we could set it off
We can send it rocketing skywards
With a little love we could shake it up
Don't you feel the comet exploding?

With a little luck, with a little luck, with a little luck, a little luck, a little luck

With a little love we can lay it down
Can't you feel the town exploding
With a little push, we could set it off
We can send it rocketing skywards
With a little love we could shake it up
Don't you feel the comet exploding?

Well I was found in the transit lounge
Of a dirty airport town
What was I doing on the road to ruin
Well my mama laid me down
My mama laid me down

Round my hand was a plastic band
With a picture of my face
I was crying, left to die in
This God forsaken place
This God forsaken place

Only mama knows why she laid me down
In this God forsaken town
Where she was running to, what she ran from
Though I always wondered I never knew
Only mama knows
Only mama knows

I’m passing through, I’m on my way
I’m on the road, no ETA.
I’m passing through, no fixed abode
And that is why I need to try
To hold on, I’ve gotta hold on, gotta hold on

Was it planned as a one night stand
Or did she leave in disgrace?
Well I never, will I ever
See my father’s face?
See my father’s face?

Only mama knows why she laid me down
In this God forsaken town
Where she was running to what she ran from
Though I always wondered I never knew
Only mama knows
Only mama knows

Only mama knows why she laid me down
In this God forsaken town
Where she was running to what she ran from
Though I always wondered I never knew
Only mama knows
Only mama knows
I’ve gotta hold on. I’ve gotta hold on. You’ve gotta hold on

Some hope for the future
Some wait for the call
To say that the days ahead
Will be the best of all

We will build bridges
Up to the sky
Heavenly lights
Surrounding you and I

From out of the darkness
Our future will come
If we leave the past behind
We’ll fly beyond the sun

We’ll be together
Sharing the load
Watching in wonder
As our lives unfold

Hope for the future
It’s coming soon enough
How much can we achieve?
Hope for the future
It will belong to us
If we believe
If we believe

Hope shines brightest in the dark
Where nothing’s ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places
No one’s ever been

(Instrumental break)

Some hope for the future
Some wait for the call
To say that our destiny
Will be the best of all

And we will build bridges
Up to the sky
Heavenly lights
Surrounding you and I

Hope shines brightest in the dark
Where nothing’s ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places
No one’s ever been

Hope for the future
Hope for the future
Hope for the future

Motor cars, handle bars, bicycles for two,
Broken hearted jubilee.
Parachutes, army boots, sleeping bags for two,
Sentimental jamboree.

Chorus. “Buy, buy “, says the sign in the
shop window
Why, why ? says the junk in the yard.
Candlesticks, building bricks, something old
and new,
Memories for you and me.

Repeat Chorus “Buy, buy “, etc…

You gave me something.
I understand,
You gave me loving in the palm of my hand

My heart is like a wheel
LET ME ROLL IT

I want to tell you
And now's the time
I want to tell you that
You're going to be mine

I can't tell you how I feel
My heart is like a wheel.

Oh no one ever left alive in 1985, will ever do
She may be right
She may be fine
She may get love but she won't get mine
‘Cos I got you
Oh I Oh I
Well I just can't enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind

INTERLUDE

Oh my mama said the time would come when I
would find myself in love with you
I didn't think

That I would be around to see it all come true
Woh I Oh I
Well I just can't enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind.

Oh no one ever left alive in 1985 . . .

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

What does it matter to ya?
When you got a job to do
You got to do it well
You gotta give the other fellow hell

You used to say live and let live
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
It's in the hands of my love
And my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

And when the cupboard's bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood
It's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

I love oh wo… My love
Only my love holds the other key to me
Oh… my love oh… my love
Only my love does it good to… me
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

Don't ever ask me why
I never say goodbye to my love
It's understood
It's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
My love does it good

My love oh wo… My love
Only my love does it good to… me wo…

Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside for ever
Never seeing no one, nice again,
Like you, mama
You, mama . . . you . . .

If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here
(If we ever get out of here)

Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one therew
I hope you're having fun.

Band on the run; band on the run
And the jailer man, and sailor Sam,
Were searching everyonew
For the band on the run . . .

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run,

Band on the run . . .

Well the night was falling
As the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found

Band on the run; band on the run
And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for ever more,
FOR THE BAND ON THE RUN.

Ooh baby you couldn't
Have done a worse thing to me
If you'd have taken an arrow
And run it right through me
Ooh ooh baby a bird in the hand
Is worth two flying
But when it came to love
I knew you'd be lying

It could have been
A finer fling
Would have been a
Major attraction
With no other thing
Offering a
Note of distraction
Come on get up
Get under way
And bring your love

Ooh baby you wouldn't have
Found a more down hero
If you'd have started at nothing
And counted to zero

Ooh baby you couldn't
Have done a worse thing to me
If you'd have taken an arrow
And run it right through me

It could have been
A finer fling
Flying in a righter direction
With no other thing
Featuring but love and affection
Come on get up
Get under way
And bring your love

Ooh baby you wouldn't have
Found a more down hero
If you'd have started at nothing
And counted to zero

Laugh when your eyes are burning
Smile when your heart is filled with pain
Sigh as you brush away your sorrow
Make a vow
That it’s not going to happen again
It’s not right, in one life
Too much rain

You know the wheels keep turning
Why do the tears run down your face
We used to hide away our feelings
But for now
Tell yourself it won’t happen again
It’s not right, in one life
Too much rain

It’s too much, for anyone
Too hard, for anyone
Who wants, a happy and peaceful life
You’ve got to learn to laugh

Smile when you’re spinning round and round
Sigh as you think about tomorrow
Make a vow
That you’re going to be happy again
It’s all right, in your life
No more rain

It’s too much, for anyone
Too hard, for anyone
Who wants, a happy and peaceful life
You’ve got to learn to laugh

Side 6

MICHAEL: Say say say, what you want
But don’t play games, with my affection
PAUL: Take take take, what you need
But don’t leave me with no direction
MICHAEL: All alone I sit home
By the phone waiting for you baby
Through the years how can you stand to hear
My pleading for you dear, you know I’m crying
BOTH : Oo oo oo oo oo

MICHAEL: Go go go, where you want
But don’t leave me here forever
PAUL: But you you you, stay away
So long girl I see you never

MICHAEL: What can I do girl, to get through to you
’Cause I love you baby
Standing here, baptised in all my tears
Baby through the years, you know I’m crying
BOTH : Oo oo oo oo oo

MICHAEL: You never ever worry
BOTH : And you never shed a tear
MICHAEL: You’re saying that my love ain’t real
BOTH : Just look at my face, these tears ain’t drying

PAUL: You you you, can never say
That I’m not the one who really loves you
I pray pray pray, every day
That you’ll see things girl, like I do
MICHAEL: What can I do girl, to get through to you
’Cause I love you baby
Standing here, baptised in all my tears
Baby through the years, you know I’m crying
BOTH : Oo oo oo oo oo

What if it rained
We didn’t care
She said that someday soon the sun was gonna shine
And she was right, this love of mine
My valentine

As day and nights
Would pass me by
I’d tell myself that I was waiting for a sign
Then she appeared, a love so fine
My valentine

And I will love her for life
And I will never let a day go by
Without remembering the reasons why
She makes me certain that I can fly

And so I do
Without a care
I know that someday soon the sun is gonna shine
And she’ll be there, this love of mine
My valentine

SOLO

What if it rained
We didn’t care
She said that someday soon the sun was gonna shine
And she was right, this love of mine
My valentine

I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear

All round the world
Little children being
Born to the world
Got to give them all we can
Til the war is won
Then will the work be done

Help them to learn
Songs of joy instead of
Burn baby burn
Let us show them how to play
The pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace

Help me to learn
Songs of joy instead of
Burn baby burn
Won’t you show me how to play
The pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace

What do you say?
Will the human race
Be run in a day?
Or will someone save
This planet we’re playing on
Is it the only one?
(What are we going to do?)

Help them to see
That the people here
Are like you and me
Let us show them how to play
The pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace
Oo oo oo oo

I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear

I saw you sitting at the centre of the circle
Everybody, everybody wanted something from you
I saw you sitting there

I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music
Caught you playing, caught you praying to the voice inside you
I saw you swaying there

I don't care what you want to be
I go back so far I'm in front of me!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

I heard you listening to a secret conversation
You were crying, you were trying not to let them hear you
I heard you listening in

Never mind what they want to do
You've got a right to your point of view!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

I can see the world tonight

I saw you hiding from a flock of paparazzi
You were hoping, you were hoping that the ground would swallow you
I saw you hiding there

I don't care what you want to be
I go back so far I'm in front of me!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

Look into the future
I can see the world tonight
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight
I can see the world tonight

Don't get too tired for love
Don't let it end
Don't say goodnight to love
It may never be the same again

Don't say it!
Don't say it!
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it!
Don't say it!
You can say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it!
Don't say it!
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't get too tired for love
Don't let it end
Don't say goodnight to love
It's a feeling that may never end

Don't say it!
Don't say it!
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Don't say it!
Don't say it!
You can say anything but don't say goodnight tonight

Side 7

Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Everybody gonna dance around
Everybody gonna hit the ground
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Well you can come on to my place if you want to
You can do anything you wanna do

Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Well you can come on to my place if you want to
You can do anything you wanna do

Everybody gonna stamp their feet
Everybody gonna feel the beat
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Everybody gonna jump and shout
Everybody gonna sing it out
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Well you can come on to my place if you want to
You can do anything you wanna do

Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Everybody gonna feel alright tonight

And if I said
I really knew you well
What would your answer be?
If you were here today
Here today

Well knowing you
You’d probably laugh and say
That we were worlds apart
If you were here today
Here today

But as for me
I still remember how it was before
And I am holding back the tears no more
I love you

What about the time we met?
Well I suppose that you could say that
We were playing hard to get
Didn’t understand a thing
But we could always sing

What about the night we cried?
Because there wasn’t any reason left
To keep it all inside
Never understood a word
But you were always there with a smile

And if I say
I really loved you
And was glad you came along
Then you were here today
For you were in my song
Here today

Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says there’ll be a bust
This one’s not for me

Take us from the dark
Out where we can see
Captain’s out to make his mark
This one’s not to be

Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me - wanderlust

Oh where did I go wrong my love?
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh - wanderlust away

Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me – wanderlust

Captain’s out to make his mark
This one’s not to be

Light out wanderlust (oh where did I go wrong my love?)
Head us out to sea (what petty crime was I found guilty of?)
Captain says there’ll be a bust (what better time to find a brand new day?)
This one’s not for me (oh - wanderlust away)

Dropping a line
Maybe this time
It’s wanderlust for me

You want a love to last forever
One that will never fade away
I want to help you with your problem
Stick around, I say

Coming up, coming up, yeah
Coming up like a flower
Coming up, I say

You want a friend you can rely on
One who will never fade away
And if you're searching for an answer
Stick around, I say

It’s coming up, it’s coming up
It’s coming up like a flower
It’s coming up, yeah

You want some peace and understanding
So everybody can be free
I know that we can get together
We can make it, stick with me

It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up like a flower
It's coming up for you and me

Coming up, coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up, I say
It's coming up like a flower
It's coming up
I feel it in my bones

You want a better kind of future
One that everyone can share
You're not alone, we all could use it
Stick around we're nearly there

It's coming up, it's coming up everywhere
It's coming up like a flower
It's coming up for all to share
It's coming up, yeah
It's coming up anyway
It's coming up like a flower
Coming up

I can wait another day until I call you
You've only got my heart on a string
And everything a' flutter

But another lonely night might take forever
We've only got each other to blame
It's all the same to me love
'Cause I know what I feel to be right

No more lonely nights
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there

May I never miss the thrill of being near you
And if it takes a couple of years
To turn your tears to laughter
I will do what I feel to be right

No more lonely nights (Never be another)
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away

Yes, I know what I feel to be right

No more lonely nights (Never be another)
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away

And I won't go away until you tell me so
No I'll never go away

No more lonely nights

When you're wide awake
Say it for goodness sake,
It's gonna be a great day.
While you're standing there
Get up and grab a chair,
It's gonna be a great day.

And it won't be long, oh no
It won't be long, it won't be long, no no
It won't be long, it won't be long, oh no
It won't be long, it won't be long, ooh yeah

Ooh, ooh, yeah
Gonna be a great day

And it won't be long, oh no
It won't be long, it won't be long, no no
It won't be long, it won't be long, oh no
It won't be long, it won't be long, oh.

When you're wide awake
Say it for goodness sake,
It's gonna be a great day.
While you're standing there
Get up and grab a chair,
It's gonna be a great day.
