Thank you
Marcel Schildermans
    Ooh ooh
You’re crossing the water
for eastern delights,
‘cause now that you’re gone
I feel like a stranger
in New York tonight.

And the rhythm was new to me.
Tokyo nights.
Well, she came in the night,
and she came in the night.

And the vision was true to me.
Tokyo nights.
Well, she came for the moment
and stayed till the end.

Ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
Ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.

I was lonely in western days.
Tokyo nights.
Well, she took me away
by saving my life

I was down in the rising sun.
Tokyo nights.
Well, I came for the moment and
stayed till the end.

Ooh wee ah
Take me to Tokyo.
Ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.

A tint of blue,
deep down inside my heart each time I see you,
It would take a lot to ease my pain
from all these chains.
 
A tint of red,
each time I see you with another,
just because I was your lover, jealous I,
I get so angry I could cry.
 
A tint of blue,
why do you make me feel so sad?
Why do you leave me feeling bad the way I do?
A tint of blue.
 
A tint of red,
each time I see you with another,
just because I was your lover, jealous I,
I get so angry I could cry.

Time, it goes on, waits for nobody special.
In the prime of my life I’ll remember you,
living and breathing and some misbelieving.
But I can’t hold you, woman, no piece of you.
 
You were the magic, my only believer.
My life on the line for you.
All that I give to you.
 
Time is time.
Don’t give me no time to waste away.
Love is love.
Keep me alive to my dying day.
Now is now .
We capture the world.
And love will make it all right, all right.
 
Time, it goes on, waits for nothing on over.
But I still see your sun that you shine on me,
giving and taking and always mistaking.
But I’ll follow you, woman, eternally.
 
You were the magic, my only believer.
My life on the line for you.
All that I give to you.
 
Time is time.
Don’t give me no time to waste away.
Love is love.
Keep me alive to my dying day.
Now is now.
We capture the world.
And love will make it all right, all right.
 
Setting my sights in one only direction.
Searching for romance and showing affection.
I guess I better know one, standing in the cold dark.
Waiting for your love.
 
Time is time.
Don’t give me no wrong in making love.
Love is love.
Turn me around till you burn me up.
Now is now.
We master the world.
And time will make it all right, all right.
 
Time is time….

 Little child, I have found,
if I stood up and looked around,
I’d see your brand new place
staring right back at me.
 
I believe, I am sure,
that I’m taller than I was before.
Building a brand new bridge
into sincerity.
 
But it’s the times like this
we must learn to grow.
 
Throw a penny for my children,
they are going down.
When the light shines down much brighter,
many souls are found.
 
And I can’t believe what they’re saying
in the overground.
Throw a penny for my children
going down.
 
Listen to the wise man as he breathes.
He’s really loving me (loving me).
He must be loving me (loving me).
 
At night I turn my face into the wind
and I whisper secretly (secretly),
what means the most to me,
and bring him close (Ah).
 
Make it bad, make it good,
make it easy to be understood,
but I see a velvet day
breaking across the sky.
 
I believe, I am sure,
I am taller than I was before.
Building a brand new bridge
I know I’m gonna try.
 
But it’s the times like this,
we must find out why.
 
Throw a penny for my children,
they are going down.
When the light shines down much brighter
many souls are found.
 
And I can’t believe what they’re saying

Throw a penny for my children

Well, she walks like you in so many ways.
It’s a different look.
It’s a different time of day.
One look in her eyes.
How can I make you understand
She’s the one good thing that’s happened in so many years?
There’s been so many tears
when we lost the dream
and the winter came
and you said goodbye.
And I don’t want another reason to cry.

You be all you wanna be.
You got the longest night.
Baby, be alone.
I share my dream with someone else.
I don’t wanna talk about her.

This woman – she’s tearing my world apart.
This woman – don’t know what she’s doing.
This woman – touches me and I lose control.
She’s living inside my soul.
This woman – I don’t even know her name.
This woman – don’t know what she’s doing.
This woman goes through me like a hurricane.
Falling in love again.

To make those long legs mine
is all I care about.
She’s got so much to give
I got to be the one.
I got to have
someone to hold.
I got to make it with that woman.
When the nights get hot.
And she goes walking by.
And the city lights,
and the city lights,
yhey make you blind.
I go insane.
But am I crazy if she feels the same.
You believe what you believe.
You got the darkest night.
Baby, be alone
I take my love to someone else.
She was made to measure for me.

You be all you wanna be.
You got the longest night.
Baby, be alone
I share my dream with someone else.
I don’t wanna talk about her.

This woman – she’s tearing my world apart.
This woman – don’t know what she’s doing.

Something that I hunger for, something you deny,
you say I’m bad for you and, baby, so do I.
Don’t you know that all you gotta do,
you could be a lover and, baby, this is.

This is your life,
don’t break it, it’s who you do it for,
tt’s the pain and pleasure.
This is your life,
temptation, a victim of the law,
we can talk about it.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is your life
This is your life.

If you try to help someone, you get the evil eye,
you say you suffocate, well, baby, so do I.
Don’t you know that all you gotta do,
you could be a lover and, baby, this is.

This is your life,
don’t hide it, don’t try to mystify how soft the flesh is.
This is your life,
get even, even if you die, don’t run for cover.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is your life,

it’s the pain and the pleasure.
This is your life,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is your life.

All work and no play, I won’t survive,
late at night I need your company,
what about me, what about you,
this is your life.

Define ourselves as something in space,
not enough for everyone, everyone and as we speak,
the enemy is the mind,
I see the future coming for you,
all the lonely days and the lonely nights,
you’ve been searching for a love so right,
it’s a tragedy just stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive,
and all that.

Jive talking , what you doing on your back,
jive talking, more rap less crap.
Times are bad, money is tight,
ain’t too much heaven on a Saturday night.
Tell me now how deep is your love,
the heart is soft but the brain is tough.

The enemy is the mind, don’t let the future fall apart,
this is my world too, just run to me,
if you ever wanna mend that broken heart,
I have seen those nights on Broadway too,
blaming it all, what about you,
this is your life.

This is your life,
don’t break it, it’s who you do it for,
it’s the pain and pleasure.
This is your life,
don’t hide it, don’t try to mystify how soft the flesh is.
This is your life,

I’ve seen the story, I’ve read it over once or twice.
I said that you say a little bit of bad advice.
I been in trouble, happened to me all my life.
I lie and you lie, and who would get the sharpest knife?
 
You know I shouldn’t be somebody like that,
I’m not the kind of man to throw his hat into the ring and
go down without following through,
the day turns into night,
go down without following through,
the day turns into night.
 
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
 
Hope rides on, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
Time has gone, but I’ll  go anywhere,
yes I’ll go anywhere with you.
 
This is the danger zone, this is where I came in.
They know not what they do, forgive them of their sins.
They know they cannot take away what you have given me.
 
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
 
Fade into colour, and colour into black and white.
Under the bedclothes everything will be alright.
I know that you know nothing ever stays the same.
Said so, I said so, the love will never speak its name.
 
Never gonna find somebody like you, beauty with a brain and a body too.
I could never make a move on a woman that leads me on.
She’s got a little bit of something for everyone.
It’s a little too late and the wolf is on the run.
 
Hope rides on, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
Time has gone, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
 
I always told myself I would regret this day,
that I would fall apart and watch you walk away,
that you would cry out loud and I would stand aside.
 
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
 
I can’t fly, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
Time goes by, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
 
This is the danger zone, this is where I came in.
They know not what they do, forgive them of their sins.
They know they cannot take away what you have given me.

Have you heard what they say to me?
They say our love could never be.

They say that we are much too young to be.
They say that I will go away and she will cry.
And she will cry.

They say that we are much too young to fall
It’s just that they don’t understand, that’s all
That we are one, oh we are one.

Because I want her so bad and I can’t live without her
Want her so bad, I know I’ll never doubt her
She is my love
I want it all tonight.

They say that we will never see the stars
But they can’t see, the stars are really ours
For they don’t know
The just don’t know.

Some day we’ll go and run so far away
To prove that we don’t care what people say
And you’ll be mine
And you’ll be mine.

Because I want her so bad and I can’t live without her
Want her so bad, I know I’ll never doubt her
She is my love
I want it all tonight.

Because I want her so bad and I can’t live without her
Want her so bad, I know I’ll never doubt her
She is my love
I want it all tonight.

I walk the lonely streets
I walk with my head held high
And no one will know.
Inside I’m the boy who lost you
I’ll never see those angel eyes
You’re just a devil in disguise
I’ll hide it so, oh
They’ll never know

Though people pass me by
They laugh as they walk on through
And no one will know, it’s you
You’re the girl who hurt me
I’ll never see your lovely face
It’s just a lonely, lonely place
I’ll hide it so, oh
They’ll never know

And all the time, until I scream and run
While I go on dreaming about you
For all this love that I’ve been giving
Must I go on living without you?

I walk the lonely streets
I walk with my head held high
And no one will know.
Inside I’m the boy who lost you
I’ll never see those angel eyes
You’re just a devil in disguise
I’ll hide it so, oh

When you say you need me and then leave.
Ev’rything you tell me is a lie.
You and I just don’t see eye to eye.

Soon you’ll run, there is no fun remaining.
The life I once enjoyed you’ve surely taken.
I’m convinced for years I’ve been your clown.
The heart I gave, well, you have just forsaken.

You are the worst girl in this town.
You are the worst girl in this town.
Ah..

There are lots like you, that it’s not true.
I’d be a fool to stay and join the queue.
You’ve stayed with other men behind my back.
I know that if I stay, I’ll surely crack.

The woman in you
brings out the man in me.
It’s the woman in you
And the finer parts of your anatomy.

But baby, sharper than a knife,
help me to know you.
Show me the night to satisfy
A sinner with the flash of an eye.

There’ll never be another me.

I never knew love could wind me up.
I don’t do my stuff
till you go walking by,
and maybe old enough to try.

I never knew anyone in between,
the devil and the angel,
all in one and maybe old
enough that I can ride.

Your love let me burn.
Let me slide down to your soul.
You can pull me in.
You can push me out.

But your baby needs love,
somebody to hold.
Show me what to do.

The woman in you
brings out the man in me.
It’s the woman in you
and the finer parts of your anatomy.

But baby, stronger than the wind burn
in the fire out of the night,
I’ll teach you how to tremble
if you give me the night.

There’ll never be enough to me.
I never knew I could find the best.
But searching out the rest,
there is no doubt and maybe we can
sweat it out.

I never knew we could find
a way to this crazy situation
over me and we forget about
the world outside.

My love in your eyes.
There’s no world.
There is no time.
You can hold me in.
You can throw me down.

But your baby needs love,
somebody to hold.
show me what to do.

The woman in you brings out
the man in me.
It’s the woman in you
and the finer parts of your anatomy.

These are the secrets we share love
One love daring to laugh in the rain
Changing but always the same

Out on a moonbeam or here in my arms
These are the wishes we share love
High love lost in a wide open sky
Somehow your smile passed me by
There lies tomorrow don’t hurry it on
Let us be children who care love

Out on a moonbeam or here in my arms

Roll on my baby I love you alone
These are the wishes we share love

I don’t know how,

they keep appearing in my eyes,
such a warm and tender glow,
for just one moment
I remember all.
 
The love we had was never all that bad,
there were smiles and there were tears,
on that special starry night,
with your arms around me,
held on tight.
 
Wasn’t that the way it was,
two strangers reaching for
a worthless cause?
Wasn’t that the love we shared
or just the restless years
when no-one cared?
 
I don’t know why
it’s hard to say goodbye
or even justify the end.
You meant so very much to me,
then to let you go,
start my life again.
 
The love we had was never all that bad,
there were smiles and there were tears,

you just walked away.

your face in my life.

He’d sing his song most every night
wishing she was there behind the light.
The people danced and sang along
on the cardboard stage he never sang it wrong.
And the piper played the tune.
And the drummer wore his spurs.
But the song that the singer sang was for her.
 
Now the singer’s song is never heard.
And the visions he once saw are disappeared.
Now they never dance or sing along.
But on the cardboard stage he never sang it wrong.
And the piper played the tune.
