"Need Her Love"

"Need Her Love"

She gives me love that I could never hope to have,
She tells me that she needs me,she tells me that she's glad,
And if she goes away, I'm like someone who's left out in the rain,
I need, I need her, I need her love.

She came in from the west, a summer breeze I couldn't rest,
I had to take a fast train, to be there by her side,
She made me feel so good, she made it like it should be all the time
I need, I need her, I need her love.

Just when I was thinkin' of her, she came along and made me
want her. I need her love, I need her love, I need her love.

If she goes away, I'm like someone who's left out in the rain,
I need, I need her, I need her love.

The boats that sail, the planes that fly,she is with me.
I wonder if she wonders, if this is all for real,
I couldn't stand to see her cry because of me, that would be sad.
I need, I need her, I need her love.

She tells me everything, she makes me smile, she tries to sing,
But never shares her suffering, if things are going wrong,
She makes it like a dream, if things are as they seem the
world is good. I need her love, I need her love, I need her love.

"Nellie Takes Her Bow"

"Nellie Takes Her Bow"

Who thanked the Lord for the clothes
that she wore and mended,
Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes
Who won the heart of a crowd
tore apart, took a bow,
Nellie there's a different world backstage

[Chorus:]
I see the flood lights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow

She said she really could not stay
She had a brand new play to play
And so she paints her face and smiles
And she'll be someone else in a while

[Chorus]

Just a lonely girl who could not face a broken world,
And so she acts out all her dreams and wishes that's how it had been
But when the audience is near, it seems as though she doesn't even care.

[Chorus]

Nellie just sent me a line to tell me she was doing fine
She got the lead and on Broadway, and now they're digging her today
And as she turns the final page, living
someone's life upon the stage

[Chorus]

"New World Rising"

"New World Rising"

New Dawn, smiling down the old blue world
Can you feel it, like the first of Spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you

Daylight, everyone hears the sound
Hey, Goodmornin', how you doin', well I'm doin' fine
It's nearly nine I must be gone

I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

Hey there, why don't you join me I'll be glad to know you
Take some time out, would you like to work or play
Or wander slowly through this bright new day
Everyone laughs, can't believe what's goin' on round here
New World Risin', everybody kicked their blues away
Not for today but evermore

I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care

New Day, smiling down on the world
Can you feel it, like the first of Spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you

"Night In The City"

"Night In The City"

Standin' at the airport lookin' down the strip,
she was cryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip.
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
and there's no turnin' round 'cos it's just leavin' the ground
and gettin' higher HIGHER.

Standin' at the dock-side lookin' out to sea
when I saw her but she did not see me.
There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat
and as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
back to the city CITY.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin' you insane.

In the city CITY

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin' you insane.

I was runnin' kinda lonely at the city place.
I waited for an hour, I never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake.
I just can't take anymore, I'm going in through the door
into the city CITY.

I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you,
drivin' you insane.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin' you insane,
drivin' you insane,
drivin' you insane.

"Nightrider"

"Nightrider"

I remember somewhere in the rain,
The faces of the passers-by,
Staring faces broken blinds,
I recall the situation clearly standing in a crowded car,
I can feel the need in me.

[CHORUS:]
Hold on, nightrider baby,
Hold on you're a nightrider,
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.

I still see that vision of delight,
While cruising on the black of night,
But she keeps a step ahead,
Looking out the corner of her world,
Nobody ever knows a girl, who once lived along this way.

[CHORUS: Repeat]

Desolation degradation row,
Don't let the feeling show,
She's a ten a penny dream,
Faces with no name and no address,
Keep staring in on my distress, but she kills me with her smile.

[CHORUS: Repeat]

"Nobody's Child"

"Nobody's Child"

Painted lady, stop that closin' in on me,
Painted lady, you're supposed to be a dream,
Painted lady, you better stay away from me.

Painted lady, why you loosinin' my tie,
Painted lady, what's that twinkle in your eye,
Painted lady, you better stay away from me.

Painted lady, with your jewels and your beads,
Painted lady, don't you do these dirty deeds,
Painted lady, you better stay here with me.

Nobody's child til I saw the light of your smile.
Painted lady, nobody's child, you have set me free.

Nobody's child, you came in and stayed for a while.
Painted lady, nobody's child, you have set me free.

"Oh No Not Susan"

"Oh No Not Susan"

Susan spent the weekend at her stately home
Crying at the lions on the garden wall
And then she'd sigh -- sneak away
Look at her style -- free the day

Oh no not me -- I wouldn't
Oh no not me -- I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a thing

Susan met the Lords and Dukes of everywhere
Smiling kissing wishing that they'd go to hell
And then she'd laugh -- wonder why
Take a nap -- sit and cry

Oh no not me -- I wouldn't
Oh no not me -- I couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a *** thing

"On The Run"

"On The Run"

Whatever I do,where-ever I go,the same afterglow
Is keepin' me low,don't wanna lose it,
But don't wanna stay here too long.

They see you go by,I tell you no lie,
You're up in the sky,make everyone cry,
Don't wanna lose it,but don't wanna stay around here.

[CHORUS]
I'm on the run again
But it's like what they say when it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again.

I hear them talkin' and they go on and on,they think that
Nothing is wrong,and so they just carry on about you,
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta move out of here.

I see them waiting there for most of the day,I known
You asked them to stay but they just won't go away.
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta do it again.

[Repeat Chorus]

I know it ain't real,but when you are near,
You're saying the things that I wanna hear.
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta do it again.

[Repeat Chorus]

"One Day"

"One Day"

One day, when I’m tired of doing time
I get away somewhere and slowly change my mind
And one day, when you’re tired of what you go through
Why don’t we disappear way out into the blue

I know you you’ve heard it all before
But one day you know I’ll come knockin’ on your door
One day

One day, when my ship comes into shore
I’m gonna do the things I’ve never did before
Cause one day, if it’s all the same to you
We’re gonna disappear way out into the blue

I know you you’ve heard it all before
But one day you know I’ll come knockin’ on your door
One day

One day, there’s a place I’m gonna be
Far away far away across the sea

One day
One day
One day

"One Step At A Time"

"One Step At A Time"

Talk to me don't leave me wondering
Talk to me let's see what tomorrow brings
And then when you remember
Things will be so much better
Talk to me

Talk to me don't give me the silent treatment
Talk to me cause I'm not in on the agreement
And then you might discover
One's better than the other
Talk to me

One step at a time I'm trying to get to you babe
One step at a time you're gonna talk to me

One step at a time I'm trying to get to you babe
One step at a time you're gonna talk to me

Talk to me through the damage done is so sad
Talk to me with the sadness in your eyes
Everything will soon be better
You'll soon begin to realize
Come on and talk to me

One step at a time I'm trying to get to you babe
One step at a time you're gonna talk to me

One step at a time I'm trying to get to you babe
One step at a time you're gonna talk to me
