"Can't Get It Out Of My Head"

"Can't Get It Out Of My Head"



Midnight on the water.
I saw the ocean's daughter.
Walking on a wave she came,
staring as she called my name.

And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head.

Breakdown on the shoreline,
can't move, it's an ebbtide.
Morning don't get here tonight,
searching for her silver light.

And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no.

Bank job in the city.
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me.
Sitting till the sun goes down,
in dreams the world keep going round and round.

And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no.

No, I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no no no.

"Caught In A Trap"

"Caught In A Trap"



Sometimes it's better to get out while you know it
Some people never learn they keep on falling
You can never get out if you keep on stalling

Then you get

Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap

Sometimes you got to know where to run for cover
Sometimes your better out 'till the heat is over

Ah you get
Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap

Don't know how it happened but then it's too late
Then you gotta move on the times, you can't wait

Cus' you got
Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap

Caught in a trap

Caught in a trap

"Cold Feet"

"Cold Feet"



Was that you out last night?
You got cold feet
Out there under the light
On the old street

You got cold feet
You got cold feet

Was that you out last night?
You got cold feet
You stepped out late last night
You got no heat

You got cold feet
You got cold feet
You got cold feet
You got cold feet

Was that you out last night?
You got cold feet
You were gone from sight
You got no sleep

You got cold feet
You got cold feet
You got cold feet
You got cold feet.

"Confusion"

"Confusion"



Everywhere the sun is shining.
All around the world it's shining.
But cold winds blow across your mind.
Confusion--it's such a terrible shame.
Confusion--you don't know what you're sayin'.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

Every night you're out there darlin'.
You're always out there runnin'.
And I see that lost look in your eyes.
Confusion,I don't know what I should do.
Confusion,I leave it all up to you.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

Dark is the road you wander.
And as you stand there under.
The starry sky,you feel sad inside.
Confusion,you know it's drivin' me wild.
Confusion,it comes as no big surprise.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

"Danger Ahead"

"Danger Ahead"


Here she comes down the street and that look is in her eye
And the way she looks, if looks could kill they might
All the kids down in the street run away
When she goes by it's the end of the day
So believe what they say, there's danger in the air

Look through a window and you'll see her standing there
She's the latest of the greatest with the wind blowin' in her hair
The prima donna she's back in town
And you see her for miles around
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

[Chorus:]
Beware there's danger ahead
The endless summer is dead
Look out there's danger ahead

Monday mornin' she's already up and gone
She knows what she wants and she knew it all along
With her entourage on either side
Just one look she can't be denied
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

[Chorus]

She's got a reputation that's way ahead of her time
She's got adulation that's way ahead of her mind
Everybody runs around to please
When she looks in the mirror she just has to freeze
So believe what they say there's danger in the air

[Chorus]

"Destination Unknown"

"Destination Unknown"



'm getting outta here cause there's too many complications
Yeah I'm getting outta here don't get driven any information
And if they ask you for a number to call just say I'm gone that's all

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, Destination unknown

If anybody wants me just say you don't know the address
Cause I've had enough of the confusion and the madness
And should anybody ever try to stall, just say I'm gone that's all

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, Destination unknown

I'm tired of playing other peoples games
Tired of waiting for some things to change

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, Destination unknown

I'm tired of playing other peoples games
Tired of waiting for some things to change

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, Destination unknown

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Destination unknown, Destination unknown

Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home
Destination unknown, I'm a long way from home

"Do Ya"

"Do Ya"


In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
But I never seen nothing like you.

[CHORUS]
Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Do ya do ya want my love

Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you.

In the country where the sky touches down
On the field, she lay her down to rest
In the morning sun,
They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn

[CHORUS -- repeat]

Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
I've seen enough of the world to know,
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.

[CHORUS -- repeat]

"Don't Bring Me Down"

"Don't Bring Me Down"



You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind,
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time.
Don't bring me down, no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends.
I'm tellin' you it's got to be the end,
Don't bring me down, no no no no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down.

What happened to the girl I used to know?
You let your mind out somewhere down the road,
Don't bring me down, no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights,
One of these days you're gonna get it right.
Don't bring me down, no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down.

You're lookin' good just like a snake in the grass,
One of these days you're gonna break your glass.
Don't bring me down, no no no no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

You got me shakin' got me runnin' away
You got me crawlin' up to you everyday,
Don't bring me down, no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down.

"Don't Walk Away"

"Don't Walk Away"


Why do I say, don't walk away
You'll be the way you were before, when you don't want me anymore

Don't turn around, don't ever leave, a lonely room where empty days
Are gathering to meet me when you're gone, gone
How in the world will I go on

(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (don't walk away)

[Chorus:]
Don't walk away (don't walk away), don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (don't turn around), don't let it die (don't let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Don't walk away

Is it a dream, when will it end
When everything we've ever known has ended and I'm all alone

Where will I go, where will I be, the feelings that I've never shown
Maybe I'll find the answer when you're gone, gone
How in the world will I go on

(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (don't walk away)

[chorus repeats 3x]
