You and me we’re both the same.
It’s this life a lonely game.
I used to be a happy man.
And now I understand
just what it’s all about.
I never had a doubt
on the chance of love.

As a boy I lived down here.
I always saw you near.
To be together was happiness.
And I just can’t forget
the moment we first kissed.
I’d like to try again
on the chance of love.

Yeah, on the chance of love.
I’ll do anything
to get you
by my side.
On the sound of love.
I will love you girl.
You’ll be mine.

All the world would then be free.
An apple falls from an apple tree.
You and I will be together.
And you will understand
when I first take your hand
I’ll open up the door
to the chance of love.

You took a mystery and made me want it
You got a pedestal and put me on it
You made me love you out of feeling nothing
Something that you do
And I was there and not dancing with anyone
You took a little, then you took me over
You set your mark on stealing my heart away
Crying, trying, anything for you

I’m in the middle of a chain reaction
You give me all the after midnight action
I wanna get you where I can let you make all that love to me
I’m on a journey for the inspiration
To anywhere and there ain’t no salvation
I need you to get me nearer to you
So you can set me free
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love

You make me tremble when your hand moves lower
You taste a little then you swallow slower
Nature has a way of yielding treasure
Pleasure made for you, oh
You gotta plan, your future is on the run
Shine a light for the whole world over
You never find your love if you hide away
Crying, dying, all you gotta do is…

Get in the middle of a chain reaction
You get a medal when you’re lost in action
I wanna get your love all ready for the sweet sensation
Instant radiation
You let me hold you for the first explosion
We get a picture of our love in motion
My arms will cover, my lips will smother you
With no more left to say
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
You let me hold you for the first explosion
My arms will cover you

All you gotta do is get in the middle of a chain reaction
You get a medal when you’re lost in action
Don’t pass me by
I wanna get your love all ready for the chain reaction …

I know you’ll refuse
then what have eyes been use

c’est la vie, au revoir
you were mine, but you couldn’t take the time
you sent me out of my mind

ignore the song and die
grancers meet surround me
widely upon the jives!

Transcript by Lowell Goldberg

One o’clock in the morning, I was, in between the shadows, find myself
Walking on the shoreline, I was, where the water was shallow,
Looking up at the darkness, I saw, standing in the moonlight, something,
I could never work out, baby, never understand

(We’re all living together and no one’s goin’ to win)
I’ve lived my life and now I want to live some more
Build myself a castle in the air
Locked myself inside and take away the door
I don’t want to let them know I care

Playing snooker at midnight, played myself, fell into the sports life, all of them
Got into the Newsweek, in my prime, I became a question of the times
Don’t know where I’m going, just the same, well I just go back to where I came
I could never work it out, baby, never understand.

(We’re all living together and no one’s goin’ to win)
I’ve lived my life and now I want to live some more
Build myself a castle in the air
Locked myself inside and take away the door
I don’t want to let them know I care

I’ve lived my life and now I want to live some more
Build myself a castle in the air
Locked myself inside and take away the door

There you are,
shiny as a morning star.
It’s a figure of speech,
but you’re still out of reach.
You never told me loving you
could be so wrong and right.
And it’s gonna be a lonely night.
I turn to you.
You turn away.
You’re looking at someone else.
And here I am,
loving you more and more.
We got an open door, my love.
Oh, let it be just a state of mind.
And suddenly you appear.

I’m carried away.
I’m carried away.
To be carried away.
I’m carried away.

C’est la vie.
So you wanna play another part.
Can you say goodbye?
Can you live a lie?
She’ll never give you what I
gave you was my breaking heart.

Better than I ever known.
And if you can live without my love.
You know you’re gonna be alone.
And here am I.
Walking against the crowd.
Calling your name out loud my love.
Oh, let it be just a state of mind,
And suddenly you appear,

I’m carried away.
I’m carried away.
To be carried away.
And I’m carried away.

Baby there ain’t no final word.
I’ll be yours again.
I got a world of tenderness.
Yours until the end.

I’m carried.
I’m carried.
To be carried away.
I’m carried.

I’m carried away.
I’m carried away.
To be carried away.

No, you can’t keep a good man down,

No, you can’t stand on firmer ground,

Ooh, with lips so sweet
Our love just can’t be beat, my darling, oh yeah.

Love is the secret,

But for the trouble,
trouble always comes.
Love is the secret,

Now if the aim in your life is to settle me down,
I couldn’t change my point of view.
I got a lady in red at the back of my head,
but the woman in white is you.

Do you wanna be the only one
fade away in the morning sun
I could love you all of my life.
You are my wife.
Haven’t I let you know?

We don’t need no buried treasure.
No buried treasure, we don’t need it.
We don’t stand on ceremony.
I love you only, I’m proud of it.

You can never be all you wanna be.
When you’re living for gold.
We don’t need no buried treasure.
I still got you.
I still go you in my soul.

Well it’s a long way down and you gotta get up.
You got to figure on a master plan.
You couldn’t do it if you don’t get ready.
When you’re beaten by the other man.

Do you wanna be the last one in
play the game that you just don’t win?
I can see me making you cry
saying goodbye
but I could never let you go.

We don’t need no buried treasure.
No buried treasure, we don’t need it.
We don’t stand on ceremony
I love you only, I’m proud of it.

You can never be all you wanna be.
When you’re living for gold.
We don’t need no buried treasure.
I still got you.
I still got you in my soul.

Well, you’re taking my life in the palm of your hand.
Make you mine for another day.
Ain’t nobody doesn’t need anybody
when the good times turn away.

I don’t wanna be the lonely one.
Fade away in the evening sun.
I could love you all of my life.
You are my wife.
Haven’t I told you so?

We don’t need no buried treasure.
No, buried treasure, we don’t need it.
We don’t stand on ceremony.
I love you only, I’m proud of it.

You can never be all you wanna be

England in the summer is a pretty sight.
Flowers in the meadow in the morning light.
You know, satisfy the song inside.
And the dream is making you care, everybody smiles.
And the dream is taking you there.

There’s a little bit of heaven on the village green.
And the Bunbury Eleven that you never see.
And they take all comers in the month of June.
On a Friday, Saturday, Bunbury afternoon.
On a Friday, Saturday, Bunbury afternoon.
On a Friday, Saturday, Bunbury afternoon.

They all say it couldn’t be real.
Shaking their head in wonder.
Making it long drive home.
And when the sun and the moment is gone.
Breaking that spell we’re under.
We played a part in the heart of a beautiful memory.
There’s a baby in a cradle and a wise old man.
Young lovers happy to be hand in hand.

Everybody finds their way.
They will learn the secret in time.
There’s a ring on her finger.
And a love that shows.
And the Bunbury Eleven say the rumor goes.
They’re married in the church in the month of June.
On a Friday, Saturday, Bunbury afternoon.
On a Friday, Saturday, Bunbury afternoon.
On a Friday, Saturday, Bunbury afternoon.

There’s a wind in the willows.
When the day is done.
People disappearing in the golden sun.
You know, everybody smiles.
There’s a little bit of heaven on…

It don’t matter who you are.
Anyone can be a star,
brighter than the lightning.
You go as far as you go.
You got to be what you know.

There may be somebody out to get the better of you.
You need the one good woman to keep you alive.
Don’t let the pressure beat a hole in your head.
Remember nobody left you on the railway line.
And if the one shoe fits you’ve got a chance this time.

Breakout.
Ain’t no one gonna break your heart.
You’ll never do it if you never start.
You be there.

Breakout now.
You gotta be a story told.
And baby, no one gonna steal your soul.
You be there.

If you believe in tomorrow and you wait all night.
You’ve got it all and then you’re lost in flight.

There are diamonds in the street.
But you don’t get enough to eat.
Walking on a wire.
There is a future unknown.
Nobody does it alone.

And maybe you can be the thunder.
If you follow your dream,
there must be one good woman to show you the way.
Don’t let them make you feel you’re less than you are.
Remember, somebody calls you on the telephone line.
And all the world gets crazy and you win this time.

Ain’t no one gonna break your heart.
You’ll never do it if you never start.

Sooner or later,
right in the prime of life,
heartaches and sadness,
lost in the madness,
cuts just like a knife.

Dead or alive,
I will fight to survive.
And the night is still young
‘cause I know, tomorrow I’ll be…

Breaking in a brand new heart.
But it’s hard when you are not around.
Precious time to stop and start.
And it’s hard the second time around.

Questions and answers.
What can the future bring?
Take it or leave it.
Better believe it.
Love where is your sting.

Paying the price
of the pressure inside.
And tonight I will run.
‘Cause I know, tomorrow I’ll be…

Breaking in a brand new heart.
But it’s hard when you are not around.
Precious time to stop and start.
And it’s hard the second time around.

 
Breaking in a brand new heart.
But it’s hard when you are not around.
Precious time to stop and start.
And it’s hard the second time around.

Baby said you had to be a lover,
one way or the other,
nobody wins without once giving in,
so don’t cry now, don’t cry now.

Love is just a game you played in high school.
Girls know how to be cruel.
Most of the time girls are cruel to be kind.
so don’t cry now, don’t cry now.

And we try to be cool as we dance in a crowded room,
at the end of the day, making love to a paper moon.

She said boys do fall in love, they make time,
they get love on a Saturday night.
And she said hearts beat as they dance
in the street to a radio, oh.

Boys fall in love.
Baby knows I like to be excited.
No one wants to fight it.
It’s getting late so I’ll just demonstrate.
Don’t cry now, don’t cry now.

When I was just a little boy,
when I didn’t know,
my daddy put me on his knee
and showed me the way to go.
He said: a woman will do her best
to make a fool out of you,
so be a man and stand the chest
and see what you can do.

I’m glad I am born a man,
I’m glad I am born a man.

If you got what it takes, my boy,
you can always choose.
Work it out before it’s too late, my boy,
make sure you never lose.

I’m glad I am born a man,
I’m glad I am born a man.

Born a man, I’m
born a man I’m
born a man, I’m
born a man I’m
born a man, I’m
born a man I’m
born a man, I’m
born a man I’m
born a man, I’m
born a man I’m
born a man, I’m
You don’t believe what I say, eh.

Every woman wants her man
to live and learn on her lap.
Where do I go, baby, if you go,
arrangement, man and wife.

I’m glad I am born a man,
I’m glad I am born a man.
