"Better Watch Your Back"

"Better Watch Your Back"



Oh, living the life of a madman's wife, has got to be unreal
'Cause she's got to hold on to ground control
While Jack does what he feels
Well he stays away, and then he comes home
And he never knows where he's been
Jack blasts downtown then he's over the line,
And then he's a kid again
Jack said" It's hard living in a dream, and it's hard
Always giving in to me"

His wife saw Jack in a crowd of boys and he was talking against the man
She saw the guys getting dangerous eyes, and she knew it was never or then
So she ran on back an d said to Jack " Jack, Jack I wouldn't do that,
If you're gonna continue to give your opinion,
You'd Better Watch Your Back"

Oh, Jack said "You'd Better Watch Your Back"
Said "You'd Better Watch Your Back"
Said "You'd Better Watch Your Back"

Said "You'd Better Watch Your Back, Oh, Jack
Had knock down dream, then he saw the man.
And thought he'd save the day
Jack gave roar, made for the door, he'd go to church and pray
Say Jackie, Religion and you, ain't mixed well in the past
Remember when you smashed your fist on the Eucharist,
Threw up in high mass?
It's hard always giving in to me

His wife saw Jack in a crowd of boys and he was talking against the man
She saw the guys getting dangerous eyes, and she knew it was never or then
So she ran on back an d said to Jack " Jack, Jack I wouldn't do that,
If you're gonna continue to give your opinion,
You'd Better Watch Your Back"

Oh, Jack You'd Better Watch Your Back", Oh, Jack, Oh Jack,
Oh, Jack........

"Big Kids"

"Big Kids"



Got a good education now
And I'm ready for the world (yeah)
We've been going together
It's gonna last forever, it ain't never gonna change
I'm a real hard charger (yeah)
Everybody's gonna listen to me
We're a winning combination, that nobody's gonna rearrange

Big Kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy-girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here

Big Kids - think they know it all
Big Kids - think they've got the world up against the wall
All the grown-ups show me that they're only Big Kids in disguise
Who do you think your leaders are? Big Kids
Who do you think your heroes are? Big Kids
I may never reach maturity but, baby, I'm gonna try

"Bigger Than Both Of Us"

"Bigger Than Both Of Us"


There's a million like us so we're not alone
A million like us tho' I can't think of one
There must be a million people who are
pulling apart
And they don't know how to stop it,
can't stop it when it starts
We can begin with a little bit of
honesty
You can tell the truth when you're
talking to me
And what comes to my mind when I
think of you is....
What am I here for? There must be
something more

[Chorus:]
It's Bigger Than Both of Us
No matter what you say I just can't
think of a way with you
But nothing really lasts forever
Bigger Than Both Of Us
No matter how I try, I can't even
work up a sigh for you
Nothing ever lasts, nothing really
lasts forever

Just think of me as another page
in your life
A curious way for you to pass the time
Just another memory when you're
middle-aged
There's someone for the girl with everything
Secure in the knowing that she ain't
gonna break
You're too much for me I'm too much
for you
So what are you here for when you
know there's something more

[Chorus]

There's a million like us
It's Bigger Than Both of Us

"Breath Of Your Life"

"Breath Of Your Life"


I can read between the lonely lines
Every single word brings a tear to my eye
Tell me how did we get here
And where did heaven go

I remember us as strong as stone
Now I see the cracks breaking up a home
And a future filled with fear
But I won't surrender no
We can make it through the fire
I won't lay it down and die
I will be the air, if you are out of breath
And out of time

[Chorus:]
Baby don't it feel right
Don't you know why
Won't you say what it is
Why you just can't see what's going on
I'll be the Breath of Your Life

See the way the wind blows
No matter how it goes
I'm the air that you need
If you're out of breath and out of time
I'll be the Breath of Your Life
Baby, no no we ain't out of time

I don't want to go around again
Passionate lover turning into friend
I don't want to be back there
Let that heaven go
Explain the things you really need
I can make it happen if you talk to me

Though I cannot read your mind
I can get into your soul
We Could Make it through the Fire
I won't lie down and die
I will be the air if you are out of breath and out of time

[Chorus]

See the way the wind blows
No matter how it goes
I'm the air that you need
If you're out of breath and out of time
I'll be the Breath of Your Life
Baby, no no we ain't out of time

Are you feeling like you're drowning
Are you choking?
And you just don't know what to do
Well I can help you make it through
And I the one to save it?

I really think that we could do this
Get through this
Don't doubt it, think about it
Be sure you can depend on me
Let me be the air that you breathe

[Chorus]

"Camellia"

"Camellia"



Opening night, nothing new Atlanta
Into the spotlight, one more time
Just in time to play
To one man and an empty table
He was drinking down the pain
All he could say was this lady's name...

Oh Camellia won't you take me away

After the show, when the room was empty
No, he wouldn't go
So I asked him why he called her name
It seems she was some magic one night
With something for his pain
But all she left was a pretty name...

Oh Camellia won't you take me away
To paradise tropical moon
Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta

(originally by Barry White)

"Can't Get Enough Of Your Love"
(originally by Barry White)



My darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your love babe
Oh, some things I can't get used to
No matter how I try
Just like the more you give, the more I want
And baby, that's no lie
Oh no, babe

Tell me, what can I say?
What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of love is this that you're givin' me?
Is it in your kiss or just because you're sweet?

Girl, all I know is every time you're here
I feel the change

Somethin' moves
I scream your name
Do whatcha got to do (?)

Darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why

I can't get enough of your love babe

Oh no, babe
Girl, if I could only make you see

And make you understand
Girl, your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand
Oh well, babe

How can I explain all the things I feel?
You've given me so much
Girl, you're so unreal
Still I keep loving you
More and more each time
Girl, what am I gonna do
Because you blow my mind

"Can't Stop The Music"

"Can't Stop The Music"



He's the star of the stage, and he screams all night
'Cause he can't get to sleep at all
And his favorite book, by the T.V. light, can't stop the matinee,
He's played it over and over
He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
All those hard-earned words, that he's fought from his pen
Have been forgotten in some empty hall
And the wide-eyed looks, on those wiped-out faces
Make some dreams in such places over and over
He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Wouldn't believe your ears, if he told you what the papers use to say
But that was in his hey-day
Back in his prime he had the fans in line
You should have seen him then, now look at him
His hair is getting thin
There's one last show before the glory ends
There in the wings, waits his only friend,
The record that he prayed to over and over
He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Then we go like this, and we go like that (music)
Then we go like this, and we go like that,
Can't Stop The Music
Then we go like this, and we go like that (music)
Then we go like this and we go like that.

"Change Of Season"

"Change Of Season"



Oh, I need a change of season
Oh, I want a little springtime in the fall
Oh, I could use a change of season
Can't stop thinkin' about it baby
And I'm sick about it yeah

Oh, I've been trying to fight this feeling
I know just one little brick
Can break the wall
Oh I might find a change of season
Will bring a freeze in the summer, baby

Seasons change, people change
But you can't hold back the clock
Cause time won't stop for you and me
And the world keeps spinning 'round

Feels like time for a change of season
It's a crime that I should feel this way at all
I can't even find a reason
What do you think about it baby
What you think about it, yeah

Seasons change, people change
You can't turn back the clock
No, time won't stop for you and me
The world keeps spinning 'round

"Children, Go Where I Send Thee"

"Children, Go Where I Send Thee"


Children, go where I send thee,
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee one by one
One for the little bitty - baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children, go where I send thee,
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for Paul and - Silas
One for the little bitty - baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

[Repeat in descending order:]
Three for the Hebrew children...
Four for the four that stood at the door...
Five for the gospel preachers...
Six for the six that never got fixed...
Seven for the seven that never got to heaven...
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate...

"Christmas Must Be Tonight"

"Christmas Must Be Tonight"


Going down to Bethlehem, see the little son of man
Lying away in the manger, praise the Prince of Peace
Wheels start turning, fires start burning
Shine a light on the wise men journeying from the East.

[Chorus]
How could a little baby boy, be bringing down so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
It must be Christmas, must be tonight

See the shepards on a hillside, looking up at the sky
On a cold winter night they hear the angel's sing
In a dream I heard a voice, said fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King

[Chorus]
Just a little baby boy, he's brining us so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
It must be Christmas, must be tonight
[Repeat Chorus]

Then it came to pass, the child was born at last
Happened right before the star that shines on high

[Chorus]
How could a little baby boy, be bringing down so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
It must be Christmas, must be tonight
[Repeat Chorus]

Must be tonight, it must be tonight
Christmas must be tonight
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
All right and it's all right, Mary carried the holy light
