Summer Night City
In the night a new day dawning And the first birds start to
sing In the pale light of the morning Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach Scattered driftwood on a beach
Summer night city Summer night city
Waiting for the sunrise,
soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight,
love-making in a park Summer night city
In the sun I feel like
sleeping I can't take it for too long My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy free
When the night comes with the
action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo Lots to take and lots to give Time to breathe
and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
Summer night city
It's elusive call it glitter Somehow something
turns me on Some folks only see the litter We don't miss them when
they're gone I love the feeling in the air My kind of people everywhere
When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo And
tomorrow, when it's dawning And the first birds start to sing In the
pale light of the morning Nothing's worth remembering It's a dream, it's
out of reach Scattered driftwood on a beach
Waiting for the sunrise,
soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight,
love-making in a park Summer night city
Angeleyes
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking
Last night I was taking a walk along the river And I saw him
together with a young girl And the look that he gave her made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way And I thought maybe I
should walk right up to her and say It's a game he likes to play
Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll
take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a
disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking
Sometimes
when I'm lonely I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the
good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder
does it have to be the same Every time when I see him, will it bring back
all the pain How can I forget that name
Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay
the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into
his angeleyes Crazy 'bout his angeleyes Angeleyes Once he took my
heart and now I pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think
you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't
look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no
Keep thinking
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes Keep thinking Keep thinking, I had
to pay the price
The Day Before You
Came
I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have
read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through the
editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a
quarter after nine With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to
be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual
place, the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have
rained The day before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette
at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must
have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing
anything, I hid a part of me away At five I must have left, there's no
exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I
finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read
the evening paper then Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual
frame The day before you came
I must have opened my front door at
eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV There's not, I think,
a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see I must have gone to bed around
a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by
then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French or
something in that style It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light I must have yawned
and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have
heard the sound of rain The day before you came
Eagle
They came flyin' from far away, now I'm under their spell I
love hearing the stories that they tell They've seen places beyond my land
and they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings
Flyin' high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the
breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and
seas And to go anywhere that I please
As all good friends we talk
all night, and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher Am I
dreamin' or is it all real
Is it true I'm an eagle Is it true I can
spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go
anywhere that I please
And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can
spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas Flying high,
high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on
the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over
mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please

Honey Honey
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey Honey honey, nearly kill
me, ah-hah, honey honey I'd heard about you before I wanted to know some
more And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine Oh, you make
me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, ah-hah, honey honey Honey
honey, don't conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey The way that you kiss goodnight
(The way that you kiss me goodnight) The way that you hold me tight
(The way that you're holding me tight) I feel like I wanna sing when you
do your thing
I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high But I'm gonna
stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of me There's no other place in this
world where I rather would be
Honey honey, touch me, baby, ah-hah, honey
honey Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey You look like a
movie star (You look like a movie star) But I know just who you are
(I know just who you are) And, honey, to say the least, you're a doggone
beast
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey
honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey Honey honey, nearly kill me,
ah-hah, honey honey I heard about you before I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
The Visitors
I hear the doorbell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence I cannot move, I'm
standing Numb and frozen Among the things I love so dearly The
books, the paintings and the furniture Help me
The signal's sounding
once again and someone tries the door-knob None of my friends would be so
stupidly impatient And they don't dare to come here Anymore now But
how I loved our secret meetings We talked and talked in quiet voices
Smiling
Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the
door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing louder, irritation
building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up They must know by now
I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up My whole
world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation And seen
the hope of freedom glow in shining faces And now they've come to take me
Come to break me And yet it isn't unexpected I have been waiting for
these visitors Help me
Now I hear them moving Muffled noises
coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing
louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up
They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing
Crackin' up My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no
escaping now, I'm Crackin' up
Now I hear them moving Muffled
noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing
louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up (I
have been waiting for these visitors) They must know by now I'm in here
trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up (I have been waiting
for these visitors) My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no
escaping now, I'm Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors)
Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel
I'm Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) Voices
growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin'
up (I have been waiting for these visitors) They must know by now I'm in

Our Last Summer
The summer air was soft and warm The feeling right, the Paris night Did
its best to please us And strolling down the Elysee We had a drink in
each cafe And you You talked of politics, philosophy and I Smiled
like Mona Lisa We had our chance It was a fine and true romance
I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks
along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that
remain
We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met It was the age of no
regret Oh yes Those crazy years, that was the time Of the
flower-power But underneath we had a fear of flying Of getting old, a
fear of slowly dying We took the chance Like we were dancing our last
dance
I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In
the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in
hand
Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants
Living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh
and play
And now you're working in a bank The family man, a football
fan And your name is Harry How dull it seems Yet you're the hero of
my dreams
I can still recall our last summer I still see it all
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories
that remain I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In
the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in
hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants We
were living for the day, worries far away
On And On And On
I was at a party and this feller said to me "Something bad is happening, I'm
sure you do agree People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights" I said, "Who are you
to talk about impending doom" He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state" I said, "I just can't
believe it, boy I think it's great Brother can you tell me what is right and
what is wrong" He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"
On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone
On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on
rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night
is gone
Over in the corner I could see this other guy He was kinda
flirty, he was giving me the eye So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a
star Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar And as sure as
hell this guy was coming up to me He said, "Who am I and who are you and who
are we What's our situation, do we have some time for us" I said I was
not exactly waiting for the bus He said, "If you're going somewhere can I
come along" I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"
On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone
On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on
rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night
is gone
Ring Ring
I was sitting by the phone I was waiting all alone Baby, by myself I sit
and wait and wonder about you It's a dark and dreary night Seems like
nothing's going right Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without
you
Yes, I'm down and feeling blue And I don't know what to do,
oh-oh
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call Ring, ring, the
happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in
me So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call So, ring, ring, why
don't you give me a call
You were here and now you're gone Hey, did
I do something wrong I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you Tell me, are we really through Won't you
hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking
Please forgive
and then forget Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
Ring, ring, why
don't you give me a call Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall And I sit all alone
impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me So, ring, ring,
why don't you give me a call So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call So, ring, ring, why
don't you give me a call
I Wonder (Departure)
This park and these houses, old streets I have walked Everything dear, will
it be here One day when I am returning My friends will get married, have
children and homes It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise Never
expecting surprises
I wonder, it's frightening Leaving now, is that
the right thing I wonder, it scares me But who the the hell am I if I
don't even try I'm not a coward Oh no, I'll be strong One chance in
a lifetime Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong
My friends and my
family, this dull little town Buses I've missed, boys that I've kissed
Everything old and familiar
I wonder, it's frightening Leaving
now, is that the right thing I wonder, it scares me But who the the hell
am I if I don't even try I'm not a coward Oh no, I'll be strong One
chance in a lifetime Yes I will take it Yes I will take it, it can't go
wrong
Lovelight
I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary Always too dark, for
the windows just face the back yard So I can't understand how it's happened,
how everything's changing This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter
You must
have a lovelight Everything around you is lovelight And I can feel your
love everywhere Baby, even when you're not there The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the
night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't
want to lose your lovelight
How I remember the first time we went to a
movie We had decided to meet on a corner downtown And I waited there
when you came up from behind and you kissed me And the traffic seemed to get
a little lighter When you came into my life it all got so much brighter
You must have a lovelight Everything around you is lovelight And
I can feel your love everywhere Baby, even when you're not there The
lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star
in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I
don't want to lose your lovelight
And I feel so good And I feel so
right And I know that you must have a lovelight You've got lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there
You've got lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're
shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't
want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight
Everything about
you is right Let it glow and let it be bright I don't want to lose your
lovelight Shining like a star in the night
Head Over Heels
I have a very good friend The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style Some people like it, others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere Taking the chair She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a
girl with a taste for the world (The world is like a playing-ground where
she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the
gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean
Her man is one I admire He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time when he speaks his mind She pats his head and says, "That's
all very fine" Exert that will of your own When you're alone Now
we'd better hurry And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles
every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (The world is like a
playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what
I mean
You hear her voice everywhere Taking the chair She's a
leading lady And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head
over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world (The world is like a
playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what
I mean (She's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
And she goes Head over heels
When I Kissed The Teacher
Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher And they must have thought they
dreamed when I kissed the teacher All my friends at school They had
never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool Nearly petrified 'cos he
was taken by surprise When I kissed the teacher Couldn't quite believe
his eyes, when I kissed the teacher My whole class went wild As I held
my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled I was in the
seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
One of these days Gonna
tell him I dream of him every night One of these days Gonna show him I
care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance when I kissed
the teacher Suddenly I took the chance when I kissed the teacher Leaning
over me, he was trying to explain the laws of geometry And I couldn't help
it, I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days Gonna tell him
I dream of him every night One of these days Gonna show him I care,
gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day, when I kissed the
teacher All my sense had flown away when I kissed the teacher My whole
class went wild As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just
smiled I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
(I
wanna hug, hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug
him) When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug, hug him) When I
kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
I Am The City
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above And I'm
a revelation spreading out before your eyes And you find me beautiful and
irresistible A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size And you
feel a strange attraction The air is vibrant and electrified Welcome to
me here I am, my arms are open wide
Somewhere in the middle of the
neverending noise There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
And a million voices blend into a single voice And you can hear it in
the clamour of the crowded streets People come and take their chances
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot Come make your own
contribution to this melting pot
I'm the street you walk The
language you talk I am the city The skyline is me and the energy I
am the city The famous hotels and the cocktail bars And the funny smells
And the turmoil, the cars and the people The air that you're breathing
is me Yes I am the city you let me be
People feed me with their
lives I am a hungry soul And they all worship me and pay their homage day
and night Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet But come the
night they will be dancing in the neon light Dazzled by the crazy magic
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf And in the wind if you listen
hard you'll hear me laugh
I'm the street you walk The language you
talk I am the city The skyline is me and the energy I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars And the funny smells And the
turmoil, the cars and the people The parks and the squares that you see
All the sounds that you hear And the air that you're breathing is me
Yes, I am the city you let me be
I am the city You let me be
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars And the
funny smells And the turmoil, the cars and the people The air that
you're breathing is me
Coming through a cloud You're looking at me
from above And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
I'm
the street you walk The language you talk I am the city Yes I am the
city you let me be
And you find me beautiful and irresistible A
giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
The skyline is me and
the energy I am the city
You let me be
Somewhere in the
middle of the neverending noise There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart
that beats
I'm the street you walk The language you talk I am
the city Yes I am the city you let me be
And a million voices blend
into a single voice And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded
streets
The skyline is me and the energy I am the city
You
let me be
Cassandra
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting Staying alive though the
city is dead Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter While you are
crying alone on your bed
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you But
then again you were lost from the start Now we must suffer and sell our
secrets Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
Sorry Cassandra
I misunderstood Now the last day is dawning Some of us wanted but none
of us could Listen to words of warning But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight And we were caught in our sleep Sorry
Cassandra I didn't believe You really had the power I only saw it as
dreams you would weave Until the final hour
So in the morning your
ship will be sailing Now that your father and sister are gone There is
no reason for you to linger You're grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow No one else sees it but you know
you're fate Packing your bags, being slow and thorough Knowing, though
you're late, that ship is sure to wait
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning But on the darkest of nights Nobody knew
how to fight And we were caught in our sleep Sorry Cassandra I didn't
believe You really had the power I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I watched the ship leaving harbour at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain She stood on deck, just a
tiny figure Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain Sorry
Cassandra I misunderstood Now the last day is dawning Some of us wanted
but none of us could Listen to words of warning But on the darkest of
nights Nobody knew how to fight And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe You really had the power I only saw
it as dreams you would weave Until the final hour
I'm sorry
Cassandra I'm sorry Cassandra
Under Attack
Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go My
resistance running low And every day the hold is getting tighter and it
troubles me so (You know that I'm nobody's fool) I'm nobody's fool and
yet it's clear to me I don't have a strategy It's just like taking candy
from a baby and I think I must be
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart Under attack, I'm taking
cover He's on my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothing can stop him
now Should I want to, I'm not sure I would know how
This is getting
crazy, I should tell him so Really let my anger show Persuade him that
the answer to his questions is a definite no (I'm kind of certain that's the
truth) Guess I'm kind of flattered but I'm scared as well Something like
a magic spell I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where I'd be if I
fell
Under attack, I'm being taken About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm
falling apart Under attack, I'm taking cover He's on my track, my
chasing lover Thinking nothing can stop him now Should I want to, I'm
not sure I would know how
Under attack, I'm being taken About to
crack, defences breaking Won't somebody please have a heart Come and
rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart Under attack, I'm taking cover
He's on my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothing can stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure I would know how
When All Is Said And Do
Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill Birds of passage, you
and me We fly instinctively When the summer's over and the dark clouds
hide the sun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks Slightly
worn but dignified and not too old for sex We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for
all the fun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor How you
rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire
to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
Standing
calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry any more when
all is said and done
The
Way Old Friends Do
You and I can share the silence Finding comfort together
The way old friends do And after fights and words of violence We
make up with each other The way old friends do Times of joy and times of
sorrow We will always see it through Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together The way old friends do
You and I can
share the silence Finding comfort together The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence We make up with each other
The way old friends do Times of joy and times of sorrow We will
always see it through Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow We can face it
together The way old friends do
We can face it together The way
old friends do
