"Really Waltzing"

"Really Waltzing"


Is...this...me here, really waltzing?
Is this me here, being so square?
Although I know this kind of mu-sic
Makes me sick and you sick
Still I'm aware...

Yeah, it's me here, really waltzing
To a Viennese one-two-three
And if you'll pardon me the simile
I'm a Romberg and Frim'l-y [?]
How can this be me?

[Bass voice (mock Austrian accent):]
I've got zee urge to vear short leather trousers
And dance za vay Strauss-es made their mous-es

[Cliff Joins in (with mock accent):]
Give me some frau-ses dressed up in cute blouses
Helping their spouses tie bells on their cows-es

[Cliff (with accent):]
Oh...here I'm really waltzing
Though I shudder at the idea
And though I really should know better
Here am I in operetta
Really waltzing here

[Cliff & full chorus:]
And...so...we're here, really waltzing
As we take our partners and bow
We say "a plague upon the houses of all the three Strausses"
But, all the same, we must kow-tow
To the rhythm, catchy rhythm
For the violins play and we've got to go with 'em
Yes, we're waltzing, really waltzing
Look at us, really waltzing...now!

"Reelin' And Rockin'"


You know the band was rockin’, goin’ round and round
Yeah reelin’ and rockin’ what a crazy sound
You know they never stopped rockin’
Till the band is down

Oh yeah-yeah, yeah reelin’ and rockin’

I was dancin’ with a woman who’s twice my size
Oh yeah-yeah, reelin’ and rockin’

I looked at my watch and it was time to go
The Shads told me “They won’t playin’ no more”
Come on kid, yeah reelin’ and rockin’

You know they’d never stop rockin’, goin’ round and round
Oh, reelin’ and rockin’ what a crazy sound

"Reflections"

"Reflections"


Last night I had a dream,
Through a swirling fog I walked along on the edge of a stream,
I heard somebody groan,
I stopped, looked into a pool,
And I saw the reflection of a fool
I saw the reflection of a fool.

Dragging him by his throat
Were the collar and the links of a chain,
On his shoulders a coat,
On his feet shoes of pain,
The coat was strife,
The chain was pride,
I saw the reflection, and I cried
I saw the reflection, and I cried

Tears for myself a fool,
A man chained by independence,
Gripped by despair so cruel,
My life was a lot of nonsense,
My eyes were closed, but in my mind,
I saw the reflection so unkind,
I saw the reflection so unkind

Sick of life - scared of death
My days just one long futility,
Feeling my emptiness, I cried "God set me free",
I looked once more - I don't know how,
But I saw the reflection changing now,
I saw the reflection changing now

A man was in my place
A man with holes in his hands and side,
A man I could not face,
The man I had crucified,
On him was my coat,
My chains and my shoes,
And between reflections I must choose,
Between reflections I must choose,

"Remember Me"

"Remember Me"


Lately all you can feel is the rain fallin'.
Maybe you feel this world is to blame, you've been cryin'.

Only, only inside will you know, but still you wonder sometimes.
Where can, where can you go?

Remember me. oh. when you feel this way
And you need someone to lean on.

(As if you're ever) Ever too far away,
(Remember me) I am the one (remember me) I am the one

Remember me, I am the one who sees in your eyes.
Remember me, I am the one who sees in your eyes.

Remember me, I am your guardian angel
And I'll never let you fall.

And if you're ever, ever in fear or danger,
(Remember me) I am the one (Remember Me) I am the one who will turn

Remember me, I am the one...
Turn all your darkness to light in the morning.
You learn when you're too hard on yourself, you can call me.

Remember me, oh, when you feel this way...
Remember me, I am the one...

"Reunion Of The Heart"

"Reunion Of The Heart"


I never thought there could be so much more
You picked me up when I was living down in Egypt
Led me out and opened up the door
When you showed me just how much you thought my heart ment
But I turned and walked away into the wilderness
Now who would have guessed

I hear you calling my name for a reunion
I hear you calling my name for a reunion
I thought I'd wandered too far away
But now I've got a brand new start
Reunion, reunion of the heart

Now I'm standing n the edge of the land
I want to go out and take all that you gave me
But I'm frightened and you understand
I failed you last time and I don't want a repeat
Still when I'm quiet again I shelter from the noise
I just hear your voice

I hear you calling my name for a reunion
I hear you calling my name for a reunion
I thought I'd wandered too far away
But now I've got a brand new start
Reunion, reunion of the heart

"Right Here Waiting"

"Right Here Waiting"


Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

"Rip It Up"

"Rip It Up"


Well, Saturday night
And I just got paid
Fool about my money
Don't try to save
My heart says
Go, go, have a time
'Cause it's Saturday night
And, baby, I feel fine

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna lock it up
At the ball tonight

Well, I got me a baby
And I won't be late
Pick her up in my 88
A shag going down
By the social hall
When the joint starts jumping
Gonna have me a ball

[Chorus]

Well, along about ten
I'll be flying high
I walk on out to
That groovy sky
But I don't care
If I spend my dough
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
One happy soul

[Chorus]

Well, Saturday night
And I just got paid
Fool about my money
Don't try to save
My heart says
Go, go, have a time
'Cause it's Saturday night
And, baby, I feel fine

[Chorus]

"Rock 'n' Roll Juvenile"

"Rock 'n' Roll Juvenile"


I'm a rock'n roll juvenile,
Watch me run a mile,
When they play Beethoven,
I'm a rock'n roll groovy mover,
I only dig Beethoven,
When he's been rolled over.
(Roll over Beethoven).

I'm a rock'n roll holy roller,
I love to sing 'bout Jesus,
Cos he saved my soul-a,
I'm a rock'n rolling believer,
Roll a rock at the Devil,
He's just a deceiver,
(Roll the rock).

Look at me, I'm your rock'n roll man,
Been a rock'n roll fan since it began,
Look at me, follow me if you care,
I've found a rock'n roll heaven,
I'll take you there.

Look at me here I am,
Get a rock'n roll band,
I am a rock'n roll frontman,
Love a solo guitar,
It could take you far-take it-take it away.

"Run To The Door"

"Run To The Door"


Every time a bell rings
Every time a bird sings
I run to the door
Every time the wind blows
Even though my heart knows
I run to the door

Everyday is lonely
And your memories only
Make me want you more
When somebody goes by
Acting like a fool
I run to the door

When I see the Sun rise
Every time my heart cries
I run to the door
Early in the twilight
Even at the midnight
I run to the door

Everyday is lonely
And your memories only
Make me want you more
When somebody goes by
Acting like a fool
I run to the door

(Memories that never die, all alone I sit and cry)

When I hear my heart call
When I hear a foot fall
I run to the door (run to the door)
Wishing I could see you
Wishing it could be you
There at the door (run to the door)

Though you didn’t want me
Memories will haunt me
As I walk the floor
When somebody goes by
Acting like a fool
I run to the door

Every time a bell rings
Every time a bird sings
I run to the door (run to the door)
Every time the wind blows
Even though my heart knows
I run to the door (run to the door)

Everyday is lonely
And your memories only
Make me want you more
When somebody goes by
Acting like a fool
I run to the door

Every time a bell rings
Every time a bird sings
I run to the door (run to the door)
Every time the wind blows
Even though my heart knows
I run to the door (run to the door)

"Santa's List"

"Santa's List"


Come rest you weary gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Lay down your swords and fight no more
For the sake of Christmas Day

A saviour came down to this earth
To show us everyone
How to live in harmony
Together under the sun

Beyond the dark horizon
Lies a far more bountiful land
Void of all starvation
For every woman and man.

So reach out from the wilderness
And pray to heaven above
A future lies in wait for us
A world united in love

We don't need a merry Christmas
We don't need a Happy New Year
The only wish on Santa's list
Is that one day there will be
Peace on this earth

Through the valleys
Over the hills
Church bells echo their sound
Whispers travelling through the trees
Over the snow covered ground
Spread the message far and wide
So every one can hear
Home fires glow on angel wings
And banishes every tear

We don't need a merry Christmas
We don't need a Happy New Year
The only wish on Santa's list
Is that one day there will be
Peace on this earth

Grant us.. one wish
No more.. pain or sorrow
Hear us.. help us
Build a new tommorrow

So reach out from the wilderness
And pray to heaven above
A future lies in wait for us
A world united in love

We don't need a merry Christmas
We don't need a Happy New Year
The only wish on Santa's list
Is that one day there will be

No more tears or pain at Christmas
No more children living in fear
The only wish on Santa's list
Is that one day there will be
One day there will be
One day there will be
Peace on this earth

Grant us.. our wish this Christmas
