It was late at night on the open road.
Speeding like a man on the run.
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey.
He is closer now and the search is on.
Reading from a map in the mind.
Yes there's the ragged hill,
And there's the boat on the river.And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl.
There were voices in the night - "Don't do it!"
Voices out of sight - "Don't do it!
Too many men have failed before,
Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;"In the rolling mist, then he gets on board,
Now there'll be no turning back,
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder,
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared,
And people calling out his name,
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned
On the water.And then the ferryman said,
"There is trouble ahead,
So you must pay me now," - "Don't do it!"
"You must pay me now," - "Don't do it!"
And still that voice came from beyond,
"Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;
Don't pay ... the ferryman!"
Missing You 2001
I've been missing you... I've been missing you.
I've got the roses, I've got the wine,
With a little luck she will be here on time.
This is the place we used to go,
With romantic music and the lights down low.
And as you stand there amazed at the door,
And you're wondering what all this is for.
It's just a simple thing from me to you,
The lady that I adore, 'cos there's something,
That you should know, it's thatI've been missing you, more than words can say,
And that I've been thinking about it every day,
And the time we had just dancing nice and slow,
And I said now I've found you,
I'm never letting go;There is no reason to the things that we do,
You can break a heart with just a word or two,
And take a lifetime to apologise,
When the one you love's in front of your eyes,
And I will fall to my knees like a fool,
If it's the only way of getting through,
You see if I think you are beautiful,
Someone else is gonna feel it too,
So there's only one thing to do, tell you thatI've been missing you, more than words can say,
And that I've been thinking about it every day,
Well tonight's our night for dancing nice and slow,
Because now I've found you, I'm never letting go,
No, now I've found you, I'm never letting go;
I've been missing you... I've been missing you,
I've been missing you... I've been missing you, darling,
I've been missing you... I've been missing you.
Fatal Hesitation
The cafés are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season holiday town,
In the rain,
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
And my girl is on a plane, home...
I'm never going to love another, the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it's true, but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know that I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation...
I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no;
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
I'm going to get on my boat and sail away;
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation...
I'm going to read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head,
It doesn't matter any more,
I'm going to miss her just a little bit,
Just a little bit...
Ship To Shore
Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, and fading,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;I have been to see the world,
tasted life at every turn,
And all the time,
Your face came back to haunt me;
Day by day the feeling grew,
I know I'm still in love with you,
The further that I go,
The more I know it, I wanna show it,Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, and fading,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;Moving fast, all systems go,
You and I had time to grow,
Before there was a breakdown in transmission;
How I wish that we could turn,
The clock back to the days when,
We were lovers in the true sense,
Of the meaning, you must believe me,Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, I'm drowning,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;
Ship to shore, ship to shore, ship to shore...
I cannot believe my eyes,
But I think I see a light;
You are everything I've always,
Wanted in my life;
The Lady In Red
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love as I do tonight,
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, there's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight,
I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red.
When I Think Of You
There is something on my mind, and I'm loosing concentration,
And I feel it every time that you are near me,
I could tell you all about your picture at my bedside,
I should call you sometime, and talk it over,
'Cos I get a kick inside, and I feel a tingle too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens
When I think of you sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up,
When I think of you walking, when I'm talking, when I look up, when I think of
You take me away to a land of mass confusion,
And I don't know what to say when I am near you,
I could stand here all day long just staring at your window,
But I have so much to do, that's so important,
Then I get a kick inside, and I feel a tingle too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens
When I think of you sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up,
When I think of you walking, when I'm talking, when I look up, when I think of
You may get the feeling that I'm dancing on the ceiling,
When I get a kick inside, and my head is spinning too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens
When I think of you sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up,
When I think of you, when I whisper to your picture, when I kiss it, when I think of you
When I think of you, when I'm dreaming we're together, on my sofa,
When I think of you, when I'm wishing that we're kissing, when we're dancing,
When I think of you.
Sailing Away
Waiting at the water's edge,
Watching all the ships as they are heading for the harbour wall,
I was just a boy, I was just a boy,
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world;
Watching as they disappear,
Reading out the names of all the places I have never been,
Looking out to sea, staring out to sea,
Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of the wide world;
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight;
Walking down another street,
Underneath the red lights, I am watching where the shadows fall,
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls,
Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world;
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, in your arms tonight,
In your arms tonight;
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, with you now, with you now...
Two Sides To Every Story
Chris:
I really love it when you say to me,
That I'm the one who makes you strong.
When we're together we are so complete,
You say here's where you belong.
But when you dance,
Oh, how you dance tonight,
With every man in sight,
Seduction pouring from your eyes.
Together:
Two sides to every story,
We're standing worlds apart,
How can you say you love me,
When you keep on playing with my heart?
Shelley:
I really love it when you hold me tight,
And you tell me that I'm the best.
The way you touch me and the way you kiss,
And the thrill of your caress.
But when you smile,
You smile at every girl.
Like you're the greatest lover in the world,
You should keep your feelings to yourself.
Together:
Two sides to every story,
We're standing worlds apart.
How can you say you love me,
When you keep on playing with my heart?
Chris: You dance with any man.
Shelley: What about you? Going like a hurricane.
Chris: That's not true! There's nothing to explain.
Shelley: Well there you go again!
Together: You're always trying to get the last word!
Together:
Two sides to every story,
We're standing worlds apart.
Two sides to every story,
Let's get back to the start.
Two sides to every story,
Stop playing with my heart.
Shelley: Stop playing with my heart.
Chris: Let's talk about it in the morning.
Shelley: No! I wanna talk about it now.
Chris: Maybe I flirt a litte to much.
Shelley: And I just love to dance.
Chris: Well, let me say it loud and clear. I want you!
Shelley: I want you too.
Tender Hands
Oh how, at the journey's end, I lie in the heat of the night,
Feeling the heartache, wondering why,
I want a friend, I want a friend to lay down beside me,
I want a friend, I want her now, someone who knows what I mean,
When I say, that I need
Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight,
Will you lay them on my shoulders,
Will you lay them on my eyes,
And I need tender hands to take me,
All the way to paradise, and then, when it's over,
I need tender hands to hold me through the night;
Touch me with your velvet mouth, I will give all the love that I have,
Under the moonlight, reaching your heart,
Where are you now, where are you now, come out of the shadows,
Where are you now, I want you now,
You know that I cannot always be strong, and I need
Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight,
Will you lay them on my shoulders,
Will you lay them on my eyes, and I need,
Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise,
And then, when it's over, I need tender hands,
To hold me through the night;
I am only a voice in a city of noise, can you hear me this time,
I see the storm grow, there's a light in the desert tonight;
And I need tender hands, give me tender hands,
Will you lay them on my shoulders, oh give me,
Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise,
And then, when it's over, I have tender hands,
To hold you through the night, darling,
My tender hands will hold you through the night;
I want your tender hands, you have tender hands,
I want those tender hands, tender hands...
A Spaceman Came Travelling
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
'T was light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star...
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angle, and they were afraid...
Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,"
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air...
And it went La La...
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child...
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round...
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry..."
And it went La La ... This song will begin once again
To a baby's cry...
And it goes La La... Peace and goodwill to all men, and
Love for the child...
Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again,
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world,
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry...
I Want It (And I Want It Now!)
Four in the morning and I just can't sleep,
I've got a craving now for something sweet,
So I head off for my local all-night supermarket,
When I get there, it's deserted;
And now I'm standing at the chocolate shelf,
Under the sign that says "Help yourself,
If you really gotta have it, then we really gotta sell it to you,
This is for people who say;
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I just can't wait,
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it and I will not wait,
I want it now!"
I sit at home and when I watch TV,
I gotta have remote control with me,
Oh and when I'm watching football, I can go to total recall,
I've got freeze-frame, I got slow-mo;
This is the way that it was meant to be,
You gotta get ready for the century,
I'm a total modern man, and I got total modern plans,
And it's so easy when you say;
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I just can't wait,
I want it, and I want it now,
I gotta get a feel to try,
I gotta get a meal inside,
I gotta get a deal tonight,
I gotta say,
I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,
And I just can't wait!
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I just can't wait,
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I just can't wait,
I want it now,
I want it now,
I want it now, and I just can't wait;
I want it now,
I want it now,
I want it now, and I just can't wait;
Here it is the new sensation, listen to the new generation,
"We want something, we want it now!"
You don't need no invitation, listen to the new conversation,
"We want something, we want it now!"
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
I want it and I want it now.
Patricia The Stripper 2000
I'm going out to dinner, with a gorgeous singer,
To a little place I've found down by the quay;
Her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia,
And the reason isn't very hard to see...
She says God made her a sinner just to keep those fat men thinner,
As they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
They hang around in groups like battle-weary troops,
One can often see them queue right down the street...You see Patricia, or Delicia, not only is a singer
She also removes all her clothing...
For Patricia is the best stripper in town,And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
To tremendous applause she took off her drawers,
And with a lick of her lips she undid all the clips,
Threw it all in the air, and everyone stared,
And as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor,
The police were banging on the door,
On a Saturday night, in nineteen twenty-four,
Take it away boys!
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested,
The awful manner in which she was exposed,
Later on in court, well, everybody thought
A summer run in jail would be proposed,
But the judge said, "Patricia, or may I say, Delicia,
The facts of this case are upstairs in my chamber...
See you later, Darling!
Case dismissed ... this girl was in her working clothes!!"
And with a swing of her hips, she started to strip,
To tremendous applause she took off her drawers,
And with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
Threw it all in the air, and everyone stared,
And as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor,
The police were yelling out for more!!!
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four,
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four,
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four,
Come on, Patricia, do it again,
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four...
Borderline
I'm standing in the station,
I am waiting for a train,
To take me to the border,
And my loved one far away,
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
I could hardly even bear to see them go;
Rolling through the countryside,
Tears are in my eyes,
We're coming to the borderline,
I'm ready with my lies,
And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline;Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know,
How men can see the wisdom in a war...And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline,
No borderline, no borderline...
Say Goodbye To It All
Took a boat over Lake Geneva,
It was raining all night long,
We were lucky and we saw no enemy,
And came from Switzerland, poor refugees,
Far from the guns of war,
We said goodbye to it all;
They brought us in to a nurse's station,
Half a mile behind the lines,
Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking,
To see the children, and the walking wounded,
Hoping for a ticket home,
And say goodbye to it all;
I woke up on a cold blue morning,
To see her there, standing right beside me,
Long years since I left her at the borderline,
And how she found me I'll never know,
But we decided there and then,
To say goodbye to it all;
To it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all;
Took a train from Paris to the ocean,
Found a small hotel by the coast,
As we walked along the beaches of Normandy,
We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold,
And whispered a prayer for the boys,
Who said goodbye to it all;
Now we've got our own place by the water,
And I have a job in the old hotel,
She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter,
Well I don't mind, we've made our choice,
We've got all the time in the world,
We said goodbye to it all,
We said goodbye to it all;
'Bye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye,
Say goodbye...
Where Peaceful Waters Flow
Restless hearts, it has been a long time,
Out here on the journey, for a glimpse of paradise,
It's getting hard to find a place to go,
Where peaceful waters flow;
I took a walk past the old saxon well,
Down by the cathedral, I heard the chapel bell,
And joined the people singing for a way to go,
Where peaceful waters flow;
And if you don't know by now, you never will,
Only love can find the door,
If you could see it now, it's in your hands,
Only love can reach the shore, to heaven,
Always, she is standing by my side,
She's my inspiration, and she's my battle cry,
And in her arms is the only place I know,
Where peaceful waters flow;And if you don't know by now, you never will,
Only love can find the door,
If you could see it now, it's in your hands,
Only love can reach the shore, forevermore,
Where peaceful waters flow...
This Waiting Heart
O Léon, O Léon, O Léon, Wellahiya,
O Léon, O Léon, O Léon, Wellahiya,
Out on the water I can hear them call,
I feel the rhythm inside of me,
This is the moment I've been waiting for,
When I'm hearing the drums in the night,
When I'm seeing the river of light, hey, hey;
Out on the water it's another world,
I feel the power inside of me,
The flame is here and now it has to burn,
You can live but you cannot survive,
And it's something you cannot deny,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart;
Oh I'm holding on, I'm just holding on,
Holding on, Wellahiya,
Holding on, I'm just holding on,
Holding on, Wellahiya;
And maybe tonight - tonight I'll go -
I'll go down to the river where my love will be,
This time - this time I know -
She will lay down beside me, 'cos everything comes,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart, hey, hey;
Out on the water I can hear them call,
I feel the rythm inside of me,
This is the moment I've been waiting for,
It is here, now I'm breaking away,
And it's fortune that favours the brave,
And the waiting heart, oh the waiting heart,
This waiting heart - oh the waiting heart,
This waiting heart - oh yeah the waiting heart,
This waiting heart - oh this waiting heart,
This waiting heart;
Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana,
This waiting heart...
Holding on I'm just holding on...
Out on the water I can hear them calling...
This waiting heart.
High On Emotion
Oh my heart is spinning like a wheel,
Only she can see the way that I fell,
Eyes are holding right across the room,
High explosion coming out of the blue;
Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame;
I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
Oh my heart is burning like a fire,
Closer now and she is breathing desire,
Take my hand and give it all your light,
Take command I am your rhythm tonight;
Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame;
I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
High on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
