Getting So Excited

Getting So Excited


(Alan Gruner)
Producer for Bonnie: Jim Steinman

The room's all set and the door bell is ringing
The first to arrive switch their dials to swinging
The lights are dim to match the conversation
Strangers grin that stoned expression
He looks so cool says a girl with a giggle
His handkerchief bulge slipping from the middle
Strokes his chin as his eyes refocus Tonight's victim smiles back

He's gettin' so excited
They're revving it up
He's getting so excited
Excited

The music's dark begins to get blacker
People start to move towards each other
Some hold back some peel off the layers
The atmosphere erupts with the drunken liberators
Walls flare up with animated shadows As dancers jump like emancipated jackals
It won't be long till the first couple's clich?She turns to him to say
"I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that!"
She's getting so excited
They're trashing it up
She's getting so excited
Excited

The smoke mist clears to reveal drunken Jimmy
Whose just turned up, seen his woman getting friendly
With a charmer boy in a second-hand leather
Lights go green there's gonna be danger With two great strides there's a push and scuffle
You can't make out through the naked muscle
A high pitched scream a broken bottle A ribbon of blood on the floor

They're getting so excited
But I want some more
They're getting so excited
Down on the floor
They're getting so excited
Excited, excited, excited
They're getting so excited
But I'm getting bored, I'm just getting bored... continue and fade

Get Out of My Head

Get Out of My Head


(Ronnie Scott/ Steve Wolfe)
Producers for Bonnie: Ronnie Scott, Steve Wolfe


I can't see in the dark, but I see you
Words don't come from your heart, but they get through
Something's happened to you, something's happened to me
Someone's changing our lives, I know it isn't me

Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there's love and there's love
So get out of my head and get into my heart

Not much more I can do, than what I've done
You shot me through the heart, without a gun
Something's happened to you, something's happened to me
Someone's changing our lives, I know it isn't me

Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there's love and there's love
So get out of my head and get into my heart

Something's happened to you, something's happened to me
Someone's changing our lives, I know it isn't me
Oh get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
I thought it was love
But there's love and there's love
So get out of my head and get into my heart

Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart
Get out of my head and get into my heart

Give Me Your Love

Give Me Your Love


(Ronnie Scott/Steve Wolfe)
Producers for Bonnie: David Mackay, Ronnie Scott, Steve Wolfe

I can't help if the world is going crazy
And the headlines get more frightening everyday
Just as long as I'm in there with you baby
It's okay, it's okay

Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby I need you now...x3

I don't usually talk about my feelings
But with you there's such a lot I want to say
And as long as your the one that I believe in
It's okay, it's okay

Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby I need you now...x4

And as long as your the one that I believe in
It's okay, it's okay

Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby I need you now...x8

Given It All

Given It All


(Andy Hill/Alan Darby)
Producer for Bonnie: Andy Hill

I have given it all
I have taken all the punches
Back into the corner I crawl
Now the dice have tumbled
How the mightly stumble and fall
I have given it all

Left to dry in the rain
Washed away by love's indifference
Broken down, twisted and lame
Hold me for a moment
Help me find myself once again
Take me in from the rain
Shelter me from this pain

We wander from the straight and narrow and we
Make the bed of nails that we lie upon
We only need the warmth of love when it has gone

Bring me in from the cold
At the end of every rainbow
I'd have it all, I was told
But in time, as colours faded
Promises I traded for gold
Bring me in from the cold
And let me live with my soul

I'm searching for the strength inside of me
But the road is long when you've lost your way
I reach out for a guiding light, it fades to grey

I have given it all
There've been times I may have hurt you
Times I should have given you more
But through it all just know I've loved you
Think before you walk out the door
I've got my back to the wall
I have given it all
I have given it all

God Gave Love to You

God Gave Love to You


(Dieter Bohlen)
Producers for Bonnie: Dieter Bohlen & Luis Rodriguez

There were times
When I was young and free
And I said I'll need nobody
Only you eternally
But tonight I'm feelin' so alone
And I know I need somebody
But your heart is made of stone
And I know I need somebody
But your heart is made of stone

*Tonight don't last forever, babe
Tonight my dreams can come true, baby
Cause there's no mountain high enough
If God gave love to you

All my dreams are just memory
Of a river full of love, babe
To my endless destiny
Oh you said you'd make
My dreams come true
But I have never been so lonely
I have never been so blue
Oh I need, I need your love, babe
And you know you need me, too

(*Repeat)

Oh if God gave love to you, no

Oh no, oh no no no no no no no no no

(*Repeat)

Oh baby, God gave love to you
Oh baby, baby, God gave love to you

Goin' Through the Motions

Goin' Through the Motions


(Ian Hunter and Eric Bloom)
Producer for Bonnie: Jim Steinman

CHANT:

In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We're going through it
v Nothing to it
v All you've got to do is do it
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
I go you go you go me go
Everywhere that we go we'll be
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
1,2

Going through the motions
Going through the motions

I don't really care
Cause you're going nowhere
You've got nothing but fear in your eyes
You're leading me on
But you can be anyone
Cause I know you'll be gone when I rise

And we're going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions

Staying with you
Gave us something to do
I always thought it was true for a while
Your loving your lies
You're so thinly disguised
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried

And we're going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions

To thee I'll dedicate this photograph
I'll even sign it love to you, again
And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look

INSTRUMENTAL

It's a game it's a game
No let's call it a shame
Cause there's no one to blame
It's a pain
You were a friend for a day
So don't cry if I say
That you got what you want, it's OK

Going through the motions
Going through the motions

REPEAT CHANT

Goodbye to the Island

Goodbye to the Island


(Ronnie Scott/ Steve Wolfe)
Producers for Bonnie: Hugh Murphy/ Ronnie Scott/ Steve Wolfe

**Goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It's gone like a dream in the night
And it won't be back again

Goodbye to the island
Where our bodies touched
Goodbye to a little bit of heaven
And I miss you so much

*(Oh) Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way

A bed it is an island
A world apart
Soft words in the middle of the night
Straight from the heart
Two heads on a pillow
So warm, so close
Goodbye to the island
Where, where it mattered the most

*repeat
**repeat
*repeat and fade

Got So Used to Loving You

Got So Used to Loving You


(Ronnie Scott/Steve Wolfe)
Producers for Bonnie: David Mackay, Ronnie Scott, Steve Wolfe

Hey, yeah, yeah
Waking in the early morning
Thinking of you softly
From The way my heart is hurting
You might as well have shot me
Shot me

Falling out of Heaven's highway
Landing in the ocean
Drowning in a sea of heartache
I swear on my devotion
To you

I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to having you 'round me
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go
I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to touching you honey
Got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

Waking in the early morning
Thinking of your magic
Why'd you have to disappear boy?
Don't you know it's tragic
Baby it's tragic

I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to having you 'round me
Got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

Oh, I'm loving you baby
I got so used to touching you honey
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

Oh, I'm loving you baby
I got so used to touching you honey
Oh-oh, I'm loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

I got so used to touching you baby
I got so used to loving you honey
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

Have You Ever Seen the Rain

Have You Ever Seen the Rain


(John Fogerty)
Producer for Bonnie: Jim Steinman

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, and it's been coming for sometime
When it's over so they say
It'll bring a sunny day
I know, shining down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hot
I know, been that way for all my time
Till forever on it goes
Fill the circle fast and slow
I know, and I can't stop my wonder

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

INSTRUMENTAL

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

Have you ever seen the rain...repeat and fade

He's Got a Hold on Me

He's Got a Hold on Me


(Nik Kershaw)
Producer for Bonnie: Nik Kershaw

No matter how hard I try
No matter how many days go by
I really can't make this feeling go away
Whenever I change my mind
Whenever I turn my head around
The only one I can see every single day

He's got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you

Whenever he's somewhere else
I try to remember if I can
When if only I could forget
I think I'd be just fine
I wonder where he came from
I wonder what name he answers to
Whatever he calls himself
I'd like to call him mine

He's got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you

It could be my low resistance
And you can all be as smug as hell
But you all better keep your distance
Unless you wanna get burnt as well

Whenever he walks on by
And looks at me then I know
That he is never letting go

He's got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you
