Ah, I had a lot of love last night.
Ah…

Ah, I had a lot of love last night.
Ah…

I’ve given all my love away
and I’ve been left with none.
But can you say that I’m to blame
for loving anyone?

I used to think that I was always
older than my time.

We’re all breaking promises,
who will cry this time?
We’re all breaking promises,
who will cry this time?

Ah, I had a lot of love last night.
(had a lot, a lot of love)
Ah…

Ah, I had a lot of love last night.
(had a lot, a lot of love)
Ah…

I’m casting all my dreams hereto,
my fish have gone to sea.
And fate no longer has the faith
to walk ahead of me.

I always used to think that I
was better than my kind.

We’re all breaking promises,
who will cry this time?
We’re all breaking promises,
who will cry this time?

Ah, I had a lot of love last night.
(had a lot, a lot of love).
Ah, I had a lot of love last night.

Shadows falling, baby ,we stand alone.
Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own.
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad.
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for living,
You battle on with the love you’re living on.
You gotta be mine.
We take it away.
It’s gotta be night and day.
Just a matter of time.

And we got nothing to be guilty of.
Our love will climb any mountain
near or far, we are,
and we never let it end.
We are devotion.

And we got nothing to be sorry for.
Our love is one in a million.
Eyes can see that we
got a highway to the sky.
I don’t wanna hear your goodbye.
Oh.

Aah
Pulse’s racing, darling,
how grand we are.
Little by little we meet in the middle.
There’s danger in the dark.
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be out in the cold.
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for living.
You battle on with the love you’re building on.
You gotta be mine.
We take it away.
It’s gotta be night and day,
just a matter of time.

And we got nothing to be guilty of.
Our love will climb and mountain
near or far, we are,
and we never let it end.
We are devotion.

And we got nothing to be sorry for.
Our love is one in a million.
Eyes can see that we
got a highway to the sky.

I don’t wanna hear your goodbye.
Don’t wanna hear your goodbye.
I don’t wanna hear your…

And we got nothing to be guilty of.
Our love will climb and mountain
near or far, we are,
and we never let it end.
We are devotion.

And we got nothing to be sorry for.
Our love is one in a million.
Eyes can see that we
got a highway to the sky.
Don’t wanna hear your goodbye.
Don’t wanna hear your…

Grease is the word, is the word that you heard.
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning.

We’ll solve the problems and we’ll see the light.
We got a loving thing, we got to feed it right.
There isn’t danger we can make it so far.
We start believing now that we can be who we are.
Grease is the word.

They think our love is just a growing pain.
Why don’t they understand?
It’s just a crying shame.
Their lips are lying, only real is real.
We start believing now that we can be who we feel.
Grease is the word.

Grease is the word, is the word that you heard.
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning.
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion.
Grease is the way we are feeling.

We take the pressure and we throw away
conventionality, belongs to yesterday.
There is a chance that we can make it so far.
We start believing now that we can be who we are.

Nothing to do to save his life, call his wife in.
Nothing to say but what a day, how’s your boy been.
Nothing to do, it’s up to you.
I’ve got nothing to say, but it’s O.K.
 
Good morning, good morning, good morning, yeah.

Going to work don’t want to go, feeling low down.
Heading for home you start to roam, then you’re in town.
Everybody knows there’s nothing doing,
everything is closed, it’s like a ruin.
Everyone you see is half asleep,
and you’re on your own you’re in the street.
      
After a while you start to smile, now you feel cool.
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school.
      
Nothing has changed, it’s still the same.
I’ve got nothing to say but it’s O.K.
      
Good morning, good morning, good morning, yeah.

People running round it’s five o’clock.
Everywhere in town is getting dark.
Everyone you see is full of life.
It’s time for tea and meet the wife.

Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I’m here.
Watching the skirts you start to flirt, now you are in gear.

Go to a show, you hope she goes.
I’ve got nothing to say but it’s O.K.
Good morning, good morning, good…

Good King Wenceslas once looked out
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gathering winter fuel

\”Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear him thither.”
Page and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind\’s wild lament
And the bitter weather

\”Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer.”
\”Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter\’s rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly.”

 I never knew until tonight of the danger 
that any man could lose his life to a stranger. 
Catch me when I am falling. 
I’ve been burnt by the fire before. 
And, girl, I tell you no lies. 
I don’t wanna feel the pain anymore. 

But I need you tonight. 
All of my trouble, my torture and tears, 
it’s over for now, 
gone with the wind. 

But I need you tonight 
So afraid of the past that you made me tonight. 
Gone, it’s gone with the wind. 

I know that once upon a time, 
I’d surrender. 
And loving you was twice as nice, 
but not forever. 

And I got too much emotion. 
And then love has just cut like a knife. 
And you know it tears me apart 
‘cause I don’t wanna feel the pain anymore. 

But I need you tonight. 
All of my trouble, my torture and tears 
it’s over for now, 
gone with the wind. 

But I need you tonight. 
So afraid of the past that you made me tonight. 
Gone, it’s gone 

I tell you no lies. 
I don’t wanna be alone anymore 
But I need you tonight 
All of my problems, my torture and tears 
Gone with the wind (you know I need you tonight). 

But I need you tonight 
All of my sorrows are fading 
and gone with the wind 

You know I need you tonight…

 No more room to roam.
I have lost my hope.
Stars have all gone in.
Which way have I been?
I’m too rich to learn
and far to cold to burn.
 
Gone gone
are the days, I cried,
when I could so easily have tried.
Work, work,
when instead I laughed
and nothing now I have.
 
Hoping much too long.
My eyes are not so strong.
I just cannot see
what is right and wrong.
 
Gone gone
are the days, I cried,
when I could so easily have tried.
Work, work,
when instead I laughed
and nothing now I have.
 
Ahh….

One golden dawn
One summer night
With nothing left to say

We let the dream begin
It was carried on the wind
And it wandered away

One golden sky
One spark of light
Forever will remain

And the song of the storm
Brought us close
Kept us warm
All alone making love
In the rain

Gone is the world outside
Home on the turning tide
True love will find the sun
And know the reason why

You make me hunger for
You whispered “mi amor”
Over the ocean’s roar
And the night will become
Our golden dawn

Two hearts as one
No tears to cry
With you I have it all

If love can never die
I’m not afraid to fly
But how far must I fall

One silver song
One lullaby
For all the love we make

It’s the look in your eyes
It’s the moon on the rise
It’s the sound of the heart
That you break

Gone is the dark of night
Call on the early glow
Send down the birds of love
That circle us below

And still I will hunger for
You whispering “mi amor”
Over the ocean’s roar
And your arms reach for me
And the shine on the sea
And the night will become
Our golden dawn

God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
Though which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

“Fear not then” said the Angel
“Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan’s power and might.”
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Glass house,

the sun will shine
in on me.
 
You,
change your mind,
you weren’t the kind
to live on me.
 
I remember yesterday,
turn my tears to laugher.
Then you left and like a stray,
I came running after.
 
I remember you at night,
palm trees softly swaying.
I remember all the words
you were softly saying.
 
Glass house
upon the hill,
so big and still, the shady lane-
It’s ours,
my love, until the day
we say auf wiedersehen.

There’s a young girl lost on the edge of town,
don’t see no future, it’s blind.
Don’t give up when you’re upside down,
you just keep it inside.

You know we all cry when we’re alone,
someone like you
and the promise that we won’t be.

Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
Never you and I
Giving up the ghost.

Giving up the ghost
We can never stop
Giving up the ghost.

Don’t be a hero in the name of love,
don’t leave me waiting in line.
No ties that bind, no ball and chain,
the ghost is waiting outside.

I’m searching so high,
I’m searching low
someone like you.
Baby, I’m not…

Ah…
It’s not the way you say to me, I’ll wave goodbye.
It’s not the search to try to say the tears you’ll cry.
Because I am crying too for the thought of leaving you.
 
You have to give me a smile as I leave you, treasure.
Do it in style and believe in yourself.
‘Cause while I’m away I will stay firm beside you.
And then I will go with the thought that you tried not to break.
 
You mean heaven to me and when I return to thee
we’ll see our own love.
You may not know but I do miss you earnestly.
 
Of all the moments in our time, there’s none like this.
And every day when our lips met, there’s none so bliss.
For when I say sweet c’est la vie,
I laugh and leave with tears on me.
 
You better give me a smile as I leave you, Heather,
Treasure yourself and find time for no else.
For while I’m away I will stay firm beside you.
And then I will leave with the thought that you tried not to cry.

 Here in the garden of my home
I sit and watch the flowers grown,
sometimes I think that I’m alone
here in the garden of my home.

My mind is falling down,
the sky is all around,
someone is standing there
and now he’s gone, I don’t know where

Sometimes I think I’m much too loud
and then I’m standing on a cloud,
it all depends on what I hear
and then again there’s nothing clear.

I want to take a dive,
or watch a street car drive
in spite of all I fall
and watch the colours on the wall.

Here in the garden of my home
Here in the garden of my home
I sit and watch the flowers grown
and watch the flowers grown
sometimes I think that I’m alone
I think that I’m so alone
here in the garden of my home,
the garden of my home.

I want to take a dive,
