I know baby’s bad for my self-esteem.
Find another face for your sympathy.
Some of us cry, some of them lie,
but no one sees inside.

The spark of baby’s eyes and I turn to stone.
Maybe I can’t survive in the danger zone.
Sounds of the night.
Streets without light.
And baby’s not alone.

Try to hold her to myself.
Someone else is breaking all my dreams. She
needs so many games to play.
One more time I climb the stairs.
Open up the door and she was gone.

And baby here I go,
like a lamb to slaughter.

Don’t stop haunting me in this old house (like a lamb to slaughter).
I still love you when you’re not around.
I’m still waiting for your midnight ride (like a lamb to slaughter).
I’ll still love you when it’s cold outside.
Me so sorry that I let you down (like a lamb to slaughter).
But you keep haunting me in this old town.

And the smile is no longer there.
The face and the eyes and the hair.
Nothing stands the test of time.
You live forever, never mine.
I cling to dreams that turn to sand.
Our life is now a distant land.

We commit emotional suicide.
Every single room is electrified.
Your memory shadowing me.
The house where sorrow hides.

Pull it down, blow it up.
Help me send these walls of love away.

And baby here I go,
like a lamb to slaughter.

Don’t stop haunting me in this old house (like a lamb to slaughter).
I still love you when you’re not around.
I’m still waiting for your midnight ride (like a lamb to slaughter).
I’ll still love you when it’s cold outside.
Me so sorry that I let you down (like a lamb to slaughter)
But you keep haunting me in this old town.

Ah ah ah

(Like a lamb to slaughter)
Don’t stop haunting me in this old house (like a lamb to slaughter).
I still love you when you’re not around….

Transcript by Luis Alberto Gonzales


[Barry]
Ooh, it is snowing,
Outside it is snowing.
Somewhere on 5th Avenue I used to know a friend.
In my bed I’m lying.
Times I am defying.
There’s no will, no remedy for all the years gone by.

[Robin]
Back in 1958:
We used to swing on Harry’s gate.
The things we did we though were great in 1958.

[Barry]
Back in 1964:
We used to knock on Harry’s door.
And do the things we did before in 1964.

[Robin]
I hear some music
Some old-fashioned music
It’s played so often in my head, I don’t know anymore.
In my bed I’m lying.
Age I am defying.
I close my eyes and in my dreams I see those days again.

[Barry]
Back in 1958:
We used to swing on Harry’s gate.
The things we did we though were great in 1958.

[Robin]
Back in 1964:
We used to knock on Harry’s door.
And do the things we did before in 1964.

[Barry & Robin]
Back in 1965:
The things we did were more alive.
We knew we’d live throughout the drive in 1965.
Oh…oh…oh…

Hark the herald angels sing;
“Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled”
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim;
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ by highest heav’n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and Iife to all He brings
Ris’n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Though I know it’s time to take you home,
baby, you and I are all alone.
We could take a moment of our own
and look what we’ve got.

You could destroy this heart of mine.
I’m only trying to get by,
hiding in the shadows of the night,
holding you and knowing the wrong is right.

Show me some mercy.
You know what you’re doing is making me a happy man.
I shield you from the rain.
I’ve been slow to get you but I’m working as hard as I can.

This time, it’s what we believe is true.
And whether you believe I’m in love with you
I gotta be sure that you say what you mean.

Is it only a dream to a teenage queen?
And all the years of tears and laughter
we could go through,
will it be happy ever after
for me and you? Ooh. Ah.

Heaven is a place inside of me
living with your heart as company.
Only you can change the way I feel
and make it feel good.

Where there is love there is no crime.
I’m only trying to get mine.
Let me be the one to dry your eyes.
We can be the promise that never dies.

Light of an angel,
blinded by the vision I’m wishing we could travel on.
Stay with me, baby,
any less than an hour you be leaving me lonely too long.

This time, it’s what we believe is true.
And whether you believe I’m in love with you.
I gotta be sure that you say what you mean.

Is it only a dream to a teenage queen?
And you define the dream you’re after,
make it come true.
Will it be happy ever after,
will it be happy ever after
for me and you?

Just because I told you lies and made a fool of you,
you know I didn’t mean to do,
and all I ever asked was happiness.

I cheated and I lied and it was meant to be,
but you know I did the same to me,
and all I ever asked was happiness.

Don’t take my love away
and leave me alone.
And I think about you more and more and more each day.
Please let me come home.

Just remember I still love you and I need you so.
You know I didn’t mean to go,
and all I ever asked was happiness.

Don’t take my love away,
don’t leave me alone.
And I think about you more and more and more each day,
so won’t you let me come home?

Just remember I still love you and I need you so.
You know I didn`t mean to go,
And all I ever asked was happiness,

Just remember I still love you and I need you so.
You know I didn’t mean to go.
And all I ever asked was happiness,
happiness,

Let me tell ‘bout a gal I know,
She’s my baby and she lives next door.
Every morning ‘fore the sun comes up,
She brings my coffee in my favorite cup.
That’s why I know, yes, I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.
When I’m in trouble and I got no friend,
I know she’ll go with me down to the end.
Everybody asks me how do I know,
I smile a damn and say she told me so.
That why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.
Now if I call her on the telephone,
Tell her that I’m all alone,
By the time I count from one to four,
I hear her on my door.
In the evening when the sun goes down,
When there ain’t nobody hanging ‘round,
She just kisses me, and then holds me tight.
And tells me, baby, everything’s gonna be alright.
That’s why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.
That’s why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just, I love her so.
That’s why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

when I could so easily have tried.
Work, work,
when instead I laughed
and nothing now I have.

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
