Living for the City

Living for the City


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

A boy is born in Hardtime Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong, movin' in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city, Yeah

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city

His sister's black, but she is sho 'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short, but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school, she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city

Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many
His patience's long, but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle, 'cause
Where he lives, they don't use coloured people
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Living just enough for the city

Lost in France

Lost in France


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

I was lost in France
In the fields the birds were singing
I was lost in France
And the day was just beginning
As I stood there in the morning rain
I had a feeling I can't explain
I was lost in France in love

I was lost in France
In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
When I looked up he was standing there
And I knew I shouldn't but I didn't care
I was lost in France in love

Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing

I was lost in France
And the vines were over-flowing
I was lost in France
And a million stars were glowing
And I looked round for a telephone
To say 'baby I won't be home'
I was lost in France in love

Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing

And I looked round for a telephone
To say 'baby I won't be home'
I was lost in France in love

Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing
Ooh la la la Ooh la la la dance
Ooh la la la dancing...out

Louisiana Rain

Louisiana Rain


(By Tom Petty)
Producers for Bonnie: Robin Geoffrey Cable, Ronnie Scott, Steve Wolfe

Well it was out in California
By the San Diego Sea
That was when I was taken in
And it left its mark on me
Yeah it nearly drove me crazy
'Cause I felt I had no choice
Yeah it seemed that I was only marking time
With all those sailor boys

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And I'm noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge

South Carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black
Somewhere on a lonely street
And I still can't quite remember
Who helped me to my feet
But thank God for this long neck bottle
The angel's remedy

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face
Washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge

Well I never will get over
This English refugee
Singing to the Juke Box in some
All-Nite Beanery
Yeah he was eating hard rock candy
And chasing it with tea
You should have seem him lick his lips
When he looked up at me

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And I'm noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge

Love Is in Love Again

Love Is in Love Again


(Giorgio Moroder/ Tom Whitlock)
Producer for Bonnie: Giorgio Moroder

Ooh run away lucky while you still know the way
If you're looking' for your chance for one good payday
Do you really think you've got a ghost of a chance?
It's the coldest of towns to be lookin' for romance

Ooh run away baby - you're too young to see
The way it's goin' down on the city streets
When trouble comes around there is no mystery
You're running' from it all so you better run now

Love is in pieces - put it back together now
It's supposed to be easy - but it's so so mad
All the things we say
When the world's gone crazy - it's so hard to handle
Sooner or later it'll all come clearer
When love is in love again

Ooh pictures in the paper of the faces you've seen
Walking down the halls where justice is done
What they say they say is not what they mean?
A different set of rules than are meant for you and me

Everybody's looking for an easier way
So go go go go
Everybody running from a shadow today
But they run so slow

Love of a Rolling Stone

Love of a Rolling Stone


(J. Chestnut)
Producers for Bonnie: David Mackay, Ronnie Scott, Steve Wolfe

You hate old Chicago ,in the winter time
When the cold wind blows right through you
And you said it ain't no fun
You called west a dream come true
Then one week it got the best of you
On a path lying in that Oklahoma sun
Swore if this day ever came
There'd be no strings, no playing games
Misty eyes and sad goodbyes to say

When love is gone why try to put
A finger on what happened
When somewhere down the road
It slipped away

All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms
A wedding ring and a simple thing called home
All you ever gave me was a look at some old highway
The sky above and the love of a rolling stone

I remember when you told me
That you'd always be a drifting man
And you didn't need another hungry mouth to feed
And I won't bring a child into a world between roses
And a thorn and the side of a tumbling tumbleweed

One day you may miss me
But I hope you don't feel guilty
Go chase the sun until your dying day
But inside me there's a second little heartbeat
That goes with me
And the one more thing that happened on the way

All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms
A wedding ring and a simple thing called home
All you ever gave me was a look at some old highway
The sky above and the love of a rolling stone

Love Tangle

Love Tangle


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

It's a love tangle
Something we don't understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
We don't understand

Billy he loves me
But, I just don't love him
Cause I only love Bobby
But Bobby loves Ann
Ann she loves Billy
But his eyes are on me
But I only see Bobby
But Bobby loves Ann

We've got ourselves a love tangle
Something we don't understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
Looks like a love tangle
Something we don't understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
We don't understand

Like a love story
With the final page missing
It's a four-way heartbreaker
Cause Bobby loves Ann

We've got ourselves a love tangle
Something we don't understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
Looks like a love tangle
Something we don't understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby and Ann
We don't understand

Lovers Again

Lovers Again


(Desmond Child)
Producer for Bonnie: Jim Steinman

I got pictures of you in funny poses
Letters from you with pressed yellow roses
I've got souvenirs of fun times together
And I'll cherish those years and you can bet I'm forever

I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's a matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one in the end, I was your friend
Lovers again

I got pictures of you with stolen kisses
We looked so young and so full of promise
And we had those dreams
But they're not forgotten
Cause I'll build that house with the yellow rose garden

I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's a matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one in the end, I was your friend
Lovers again

Instrumental

There's a picture of you in yesterday's paper
With that smile I knew and the new name you've taken
And I'll live each day without being bitter
Cause we weren't that way
And I know it's not over

I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's a matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one waiting there and in the end
We'll be lovers again

Make It Right Tonight

Make It Right Tonight


(Andy Hill)
Producer for Bonnie: Andy Hill

It's gonna take time for us to trust again
I can see it in your eyes
All these walls you've been building around yourself
To keep the hurt away
Keep the tenderness inside

We've gotta find doors
Gotta find an open road to your heart
Came on baby…

You gotta be strong
Life is what you make it
I'm hanging on
Love's right here, just take it
Whatever is wrong
It won't take it long to make it right
We can make it right tonight

We've got to find words to heal these differences
Gotta find some peace of mind
There'll come a day you'll realise that
After all, we're only human
No-one's perfect all the time

But you've gotta hold on tight as hell to your dream
It's never too late baby

You gotta be strong
Life is what you make it
I'm hanging on
Love's right here, just take it
Whatever is wrong
It won't take it long to make it right
We can make it right tonight

Twenty twenty vision
Looking back at our mistakes
But when it comes to now you can't see straight

Make this decision
Heaven's here for us to take
And heaven won't wait

Make this decision
Heaven's here for us to take
And heaven won't wait

Making Love (Out of Nothing at All)

Making Love (Out of Nothing at All)


(Jim Steinman)
Producer for Bonnie: Jim Steinman

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie

I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how break them
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky
Is taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright

I gotta follow it
Cause everything I own, now
It's nothing till I give it to you

I can make you find your power
I can make you lose your fear
I can make your body do some very magical things
I'll make your inhibitions all disappear

I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love)

Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)

Married Men

Married Men


(Bugatti - Musker)
Producers for Bonnie: Ronnie Scott, Steve Wolfe


The world is full of married men
With wives who never understand
They're looking for someone to share
The excitement of a love affair
Just as soon as they find you
They wine you and dine you
You fly on the wings of romance
But in the eyes of the world
You're just another crazy girl
Who loves a married man

Oh your love is a secret
And you've got to keep it
As long as you can
No don't cry for your lover
There's always another married man
The world is full of married men

Oh yeah you make him feel so young
But his wife will still be number one
He promises to marry you
Just as soon as his divorce
Comes through
And it's not just a fling
He swears it's the real thing
A love that could last till the end
As he's driving away
You know it's true what they say
About married men

They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it again and again
They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it, married men

Oh he'll run when the scandal
Gets too hot to handle
He'll say I just want to be friends
They he'll walk out of your life
He'll go home to his wife
'Cause he's a married man

Oh your love is a secret
And you've got to keep it
As long as you can
No don't cry for your lover
There's always another married man
The world is full of married men

They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it again and again
They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it, married men

He'll walk out of your life
And go home to his wife
A married man

Don't cry for your lover
There's always another married man

They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it again and again
They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it, married men....repeat and fade
