Someday
Someone’s gonna cross my way
Someone’s gonna come and say
He loves me

Night time doesn’t even mean a thing
(
Sha?? for the pay) don’t ring
Your love for me

You’re the one I’m living for
Just this and nothing more
All that I ask is
You love me
For real

Baby don’t say no
Don’t put me down
Don’t ever go
Stay stay around
‘Cos I need you
And baby I promise to be true

Time to think,to think of you and cry
No use in askin’ why
Ain’t got no answer
You just love me anyway
I’m beggin’ on my knees and pray
Don’t you go away with her

You’re the one I’m living for
Just this and nothing more
All that I ask is
You love me
For real

Baby don’t say no
Don’t put me down
Don’t ever go
Stay stay around
‘Cos I need you
And baby I promise to be true

Don’t worry ‘bout me, I’ll get along
Forget about me, be happy my love
Let’s say that our little show is over and so the story ends
Why not call it a day the sensible way, and still be friends?
 
“Look out for yourself” should always be the rule
Give your heart and your love to whomever you love, don’t you be a fool
Darling, why stop to cling to some fading thing that used to be?
If you can’t forget, don’t you worry ‘bout me
 
Baby, why should you cling to some fading thing that used to be?
If you can’t forget, don’t you worry ‘bout me

Thank you
Rod Pastor
for your
corrections!

I am the searcher of my fortunes.
I’ve got my right hand on the wheel.
We’ve got to dig the buried treasures.
I know exactly how I feel.

Don’t want to live inside myself.
I’m much better off alone.
But then you must believe in
the falling rain.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.

I went walking through a graveyard
where the darkness is my friend.
I heard all about the beginning.
I wanna see just where it ends.

Don’t want to live inside myself.
I’m much better off alone.
But then you must believe in
the falling rain.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.

I have fed the jaded tiger.
And every tiger knows my name.
But just as long, as long as I can see my face
I can tell myself my name.

Don’t want to live inside myself.
I’m much better off alone.
But then you must believe in
the falling rain.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.
Don’t wanna live inside myself.

How old are you
(1983)

Here is today,
I’m feeling blue.
It’s Saturday night,
I’m waiting for you.

You said you’d come around at 8:44
with some other guy, you pass by my door.
I thought you were good, I felt you were real,
a special kind of girl .

So I walk down the street, into the town .
I’m following you and your new love around.
You said to go back to where I belong,
that she didn’t care and I was so wrong.
Forever I know I will never let go
till she’s mine, mine.

Baby, believe what you like, don’t stop the night.
Baby, believe what you like, don’t stop the night.
Ah…
Ah…

Make up my mind, I’m gonna be strong.
Don’t wanna look sad if she comes along.
She may be with him but I’ll play along.
I’ve waited all year, the night is so young.
Love is like a miracle, a distant shining light.
So many days I would hope and pray
she was mine, mine.

Baby, believe what you like, don’t stop the night.
Baby, believe what you like, don’t stop the night.

Baby, you said you’d never go.
And now, you don’t wanna know.
Baby, you know just what you found.
Someone who’s only hanging around.

Baby, believe what you like, don’t stop the night.
Baby, believe what you want, don’t stop the night
Baby, I know that you don’t, you’d never leave…

You say it’s better to behave
just like I never met you
Why is it only I can cry
And you can say goodbye in a minute
Don’t you remember I was your friend
And you can just erase all those days
And those tender reflections we bear
We promised not to fall in love
But it was there and soon I was in it
Already I was more than your friend
It’s harder for me

No words or expressions
Can make you hungry for me
I’ve never seen you on your knees
Like I’m begging you

Don’t give up, give up on each other
Back where we started
No love to hold us down
I’ll never give another anymore than I gave to you
Will never come around

Always and always
You told me love was ever and ever
Together the dream will come true
If we turn back
If you turn back to me

You won’t be sorry if you stay
I’ll stake my life upon it
Little flame inside us can be fed
Take our precious love to the limit
It’s the one that you need and it’s your friend
It’s harder for me

No words or expressions
Anything that makes you worry
I’ve never seen you on your knees
And I’m in a hurry
How is it you can break my heart
But you can’t be sorry
Push away whoever you please
But I’m begging you

Don’t give up, give up on each other
Back where we started
No love to hold us down
I’ll never give another
Anymore than I gave to you
Will never come around, oh
Don’t give up, give up on each other
We can’t lose tomorrow
Better treasure what we’ve got
I’ll never give another anymore than I gave to you.

Everybody needs you home again.
I guess they always will.
Through the storm you wander.
Through each covered glen.
Please don’t forget, me Ida, come back to me again.

You know love was made for a dreamer,
when the dream is out of sight,
well, all you’re gonna get in the morning
is a lonely night,
gonna be a lonely night,
nothing but a lonely night.

Saving it all
for something wild and wonderful,
holding it down,
there’s gotta be another horizon.

Keep it inside,
don’t throw away your precious love,
‘cause if you need to be free you can take it,
not a prison of love that you make it.

Don’t fall in love with me baby,
it’s a love that just can’t last,
your eyes are looking out at the future

You know hearts were made to be broken
and your love has broken mine,
now all your gonna get in the morning is a lonely night,
gonna be a lonely night,
nothing but a lonely night,
gonna be a lonely night.

You’re gonna be blue, blue,
gonna be a lonely night,

I was hungry and I was cold,
had a father far too old,
couldn’t make it to the place
he’d like to be.

In a tree-trunk in the park,
he was living in the dark,
keeping other dogs like him
for company.

In the evening I’d go down
to a nightclub in the town,
try to get some bread
to make another way.

And back to the park I’d go,
dig him out of the snow.
You know he’s lived a thousand years
from day to day.

Well, the days get shorter and the nights get longer
and you never learn to know
that if you love one another, could you look at each other,
could it ever really show.

And at this moment in time you couldn’t make up your mind,
now could you ever understand.

Are you following me
just like Moses to the sea?
Do you think I’ll give you freedom in the end?

When I’m long dead and gone,
will your love for me go on?
Will I be the one you run to in the end?

And all my dogs need a friend.

It was a quarter to three
in the summer of 73,
when I heard somebody call
outside my door.
Said ‘Are you friend or are you foe?’
He looked up and he said ‘no,
but I’d like to come inside and know you more.’

Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer
and you never learn to know
if you love one another, could you look at each other,
could it ever really show.

And at this moment in time you couldn’t make up your mind,
now could you ever understand.

Are you following me
just like Moses to the sea?
Do you think I’ll give you freedom in the end?

When I’m long dead and gone
will your love for me go on?

It’s a pantomime.

Analyze, fantasize.
Anything your heart can tell you.
Agony, ecstasy.
Ooh, you got lucky.

Do you love her?
Do you love her?
Does it burn so deep
that you just don’t sleep?
Do you love her?
Do you love her?
Ah no, all right.
Ooh, you lucky.

It can make you feel good.
It can make you feel fine.
It’s a borderline.
It’s the way that she runs
all her fingers and thumbs
up and down your spine.

At a price, paradise.
Girl has got a lot to sell you.
Hard lies, paralyze.
Ooh, you got lucky.

Do you love her?
Do you love her?
Does it burn so deep

Oh no, all right.

Oh babe, does it bother you
when she’s calling out my name
in the night ?
She’s a part of me
and I wanna go
but I can’t give in,
not without a fight.
Agony, ecstasy.
Ooh, you got love.

Do you love her?

Does it burn so deep

Hindsight, don’t make it right.
She give me trouble enough.
And she’s a ball of light.
I’m in the tunnel of love
with the American dream.
And I was born too soon.

A little good luck, never stuck.
She got me climbing the walls.
Got me hard as a rock.
Within a city of sin, she got a city block.
And she was barking at the moon.

She likes to show
so many sides to her.
And I’d be the one to know.

When am I gonna go to your dimension?
When am I gonna go to where you are?
When am I gonna go to your dimension?
Dimensions of each other keep us going strong.

Black knight, take a bite.
She can double it up.
And she’s a way of life.
And whether dead or alive,
she got a fix on me.
And I was dancing in the fire.

White steam, never seen,
in every muscle and bone.
She was a love machine.
And she could wrestle me down
and get a taste of me
in her web of desire.

She changed my world.
How can the body know
it’s touching me or her?

When am I gonna go to your dimension?
When am I gonna go to where you are?
When am I gonna go to your dimension?
Dimensions of each other keep us going strong.

Searching for treasure in the land of Peru, ooh.

Saw the holy temple,
a man was on his knees.
Sacrificixon ceremony,
the gods they wanna please, oh.

Then the people shouted with emotion.
Try to scale the giant pyramid.
Following the writing on the sandstone.
(Saying the stone was in the room of the dead) oh no no no.

Diamonds (diamonds)

Diamonds (diamonds)

Oh burning with fever, I’m dying of hunger.
I’m searching all night, searching all night, all night.

Then I jumped and run into the jungle.
The solid ground gave way beneath my feet.
Fallen inside an icy tomb forever.
(The rock he was after is now out of reach).

We’ll surround the Vatican City, hand in hand.

And those who never will.

Living still, living still.

If you wanna know my family, they’re all gone.
If you wanna drink my wine, there ain’t any.

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreaming boy
And now I’m lost in a daydream
Dreaming ‘bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain’t really on my side
It’s one of those days for takin’ a walk outside
I’m blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody’s new mowed lawn

I’ve been having a sweet dream
Been dreaming since I woke up today
It’s starring me and my sweet dream
‘Cause she’s the one makes me feel this way

And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn’t care less about these blues you say I’ve got
Tomorrow I’ll pay the dues for dropping so low
A pie in the face for being a sleepy beau deau

Whistle

And you can be sure that if you’re feeling right
A daydream’ll last along into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may perk up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreaming boy
And now I’m lost in a daydream
Dreaming ‘bout my bundle of joy
Whistle
