"Let Me Know"

"Let Me Know"


Are you ever gonna change your mind
Will there ever be another time, woh, yeah
You gotta let me know
I was hoping you would understand
Love was never meant to be so blind, woh, woh
You gotta let me know
Well I never had to wonder why
I've felt this way now for such a long time
And it's taken everything I have
Just to tell you how it is, that I feel
Won't you let me know
Oh let me know
Ooh won't you let me know
We're no strangers to this world it's true
Everytime you cry it makes me feel so blue
Oh, won't you let me through
Take another time another place
Take this heart of mine and dry your face
Oh, won't you let me know

[Solo]

Well I never had to wonder why
I've felt this way now for such a long time
And it's taken everything I have
Just to tell you how it is, that I feel
Won't you let me know
Won't you let me know
Ooh won't you let me know
Let me know, let me know, let me know
Take another time, another place
Take this heart of mine and dry your face, woh, woh, woh
Oh, won't you let me know
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, won't you let me know
Oh, let me know
Let me know, let me know, let me know

"Living In A Fantasy"

"Living In A Fantasy"


You, you are my reason to live
You make me shine, with all the love that you give
And when I think of you, I keep driftin' away, yeah
Little by little, I love you more every day
I lay in bed but I just can't sleep
I close my eyes and you're all that I see
I can't believe that it's happening to me
Living in a fantasy
Ever since you came to me
Yes I'm living in a fantasy
Drowning, drowning in this luxury
Ever since, Ever since you came to me
Oh I'm living in a dream
Oh, I know, there'll be storms up ahead
We'll blow them away, bring back the sun again
For love conquers all, the gloom and despair
Nothin' can go wrong, just as long as you're there
Yeah, I see a light on the path up ahead
I know you'll wait on the cliff where you said
I'll hold you close 'til we're right on the edge
Living in a fantasy
Ever since, ever since you came, you came to me
I'm just living in a fantasy
Drowning, drowning in this luxury
Ever since, ever since you came to me
Find me living in a dream
Oh you're too much, too soon, you're too strong
And I wanna drown in your touch
Don't keep me floating too long
Living in a fantasy, living in a fantasy
Ever since you came to me, ever since you came along
Living in a fantasy
Drowning in this luxury
Ever since you came to me, ever since you came to me
I'm just living in a dream
Living in a fantasy
Ever since you came to me
Living in a fantasy
Drowning in this luxury, drowning in this luxury
Ever since, ever since you came to me
Living in a dream
Well it happens every day
Love has got a hold on me
I'm drowning
Ever since you came to me
Living in a dream

"Long Tall Glasses"

"Long Tall Glasses"


I was travellin' down the road
Feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin'
Food and drinks for everyone
So naturally I thought
I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food
There was water coming from my eyes
Yeah, there was ham and there was turkey
There was caviar
And long tall glasses
With wine up to y'are
And somebody grabbed me
Threw me out of my chair
Said "before you can eat
You gotta dance like fred astaire"
You know I can't dance
you know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
you know I can't dance
I can't dance
I am a man of the road
A hobo by name
I don't seek entertainment
Just poultry and game
But if it's all the same to you
Then yes, I will try my hand
If you were hungry as me
Then I'm sure you will understand
Hmmmmmm, now wait a minute
Of course I can dance
Of course I can dance
I'm sure I can dance
I'm sure I can dance
I can dance
I can dance
I really hit the floor
Ah, it feels good
Look at me dancing
I did a two-step, quick-step and a bossanova
A little victor sylvester and a rudy valentino
You should have seen me moving
Right across the floor
Hand me down my tuxedo
Next week I'm coming back for more
I can dance
Oh yes, I can dance
Look at me dance on the floor movin'
I feel good
I can dance
I can dance
I can dance
I can dance
I can dance
I can dance

"Lost Control"

"Lost Control"


You were out there
And I thought that you were for the asking
I've never been unfair
But I was looking for a love
That would be everlasting
Yes I was
Three years of taking
Anything that I could find
A one-night stand, you understand
Wasn't what I had in mind
Believe me that I lost control
I wanted you and that was
All that really mattered
Oh yeah, oh I lost control
I couldn't tell this whole world had shattered
Lover, all I could see
Was what you whipped on me
And I lost my control
Now he was your man
He had his faults
But you done your best to stick by him
But then one day
Bam! Bam!
He shot you down
Without anybody around who
Would try him
And this is what happened
Three years of taking
Anything that he could find
A one night stand he didn't understand
It wasn't what you had in mind
And I believe that you
Lost control
You ran to me and it felt
Like a whole new feeling, yeah, yeah
Oh you lost control
You had an open wound
That I was so good at healing
Hey but all you could see
Was the good side of me
And you lost control
Oh you know that you lost control
No consideration
We couldn't help ourselves inside
It was a sorry situation
And he came to me one night
And he cried
He said you cut me worse - ow!
Than any woman ever hurt a man
I said, my man, I'm real sorry
But that was not my plan
And I just believe
You see this is what really happened
I, I lost control, that's what I did
I just lost control
My whole world had changed around
And you were runnin' free
When you came to me
Oh we tried and we tried our best
But you and me babe
And him as well
We're all losing in the game
Loves like that, ain't it
You lost, lost, you lost, you lost
All your control, oh baby
I believe to my soul

"Love Games"

"Love Games"


When it started out so easily
She was lonely I was free
I couldn't pass another lonely night on my own
She just poured her life into a drink
Looked at me said what do you think
I said you need a little loving baby
So I picked her up
She gave me all the loving that I would ever need
Oh she picked me up
I didn't know her name
I'm playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Just playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
These love games
Are tearing me apart
Oh, this game of love is burning me
No way out that I can see
It's like a fire I can't control, I can't control
Oh, they pick me up
Give me all the loving
I've ever need
Yeah, I love and run
I never know their names
Just playing love games
I keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
That these love games
Are tearing me apart
Now my love is like a fire
Burning me up
And the flames
Are getting higher
Up to my heart
I'm playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Just playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
That these love games
Are tearing me apart
I keep on playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Whether I win
Or whether I lose
I end up with a broken heart
Keep playin' love games
Ain't no doubt about it
Oh these love games
Are tearing me apart

"Magdalena"

"Magdalena"


Magdalena sits in her chair
Speaking to the mass
She talks in splicing splinters
She laughs like breaking glass
She said that she would have me spirit her away
Stealing all my images
'Til there's nothin' left to say
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
She tells me that she wants me
Then she tells me not to bother
She tells me that I couldn't hold
A candle to her father
She knows that she's got me when I start to rave about
And she'll just smile and flash her eyes
And blow the candle out
Oh, Magdalena
Oh, ho, ho, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Magdalena lying there
Could make a dancer stumble
Make a preacher bite his tongue
And leave him with the mumbles
And if you think I'm crazy babe
Or that I'm kidding you
Just pay your dues and lose your blues
When she gets her tongue in you
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Well I can't be forgotten
And I can't be ignored
You find me with my poems
And my songs
But if upon your journey you're turning to L.A.
Won't you take this little red-haired girl along?
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, Magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

 

[fox69]

"Maybe"

"Maybe"


Maybe
Although you think that I'm crazy
There's one thing that is true
I'll always love you
Someday
You'll come around
And then one day
You'll fall in love with me too
It's long overdue
You're always taking time
Being careful with your words
As if you really can't define
My place inside your world
If time
Could only stop
And let this moment be mine
You turn away when I say
We'll be together one day
Everyday
I think of you
And I miss you
When you're away from my side
You're always on my mind
Oh won't you stay with me tonight
Don't say you should go home
We'll make love by candle-light
Let's make the most of this time
This time together
So maybe
It's not so pointless and crazy
If I treat you like lovers do
My dream will come true
You'll fall in love with me too

"Millionaire"

"Millionaire"


I got your postcard it made me lonely
I'm out of money and no-one really cares
The South of France has sunny weather
Pretty boats and lots of millionaires
Now you're not coming home
You like the style and you're staying here
Pretty boys everywhere you go
You lead 'em on and then you disappear
You say you're gonna find a millionaire
- Oh well I wish you luck
And we were never going anywhere
- And now you've had enough
You didn't wanna be
Going broke with a loser like me
And you're a girl who's just gotta be free
And I don't think you'll ever be happy
Chasing a millionaire
Chasing a millionaire
All the streets are dead without you
Empty shops and old abandoned cars
In Saint Tropez your man is waiting
He comes with diamonds to the hotel bar
You say you're not going home
You like the sun and you're staying here
He'll ask if you're on you own
You say "why not" then you both disappear
Now you say you've found your millionaire
- Oh well I don't care
Says he's gonna take you everywhere
- I just don't care
I bet he'll let you down
That kinda guy never hangs around
He's got a girl in every town
And I don't think you'll ever be happy
Living
Living with a millionaire

[Solo]

Now you say you've found your millionaire
- Well I don't care
Says he gonna take you everywhere
- I just don't care
Then one day he's gonna let you down
He'll have you searching every club in town
That kind of guy will only drag you down
You can go and take your millionaire
- Oh I don't wanna know
Tell you that I really do not care
- Ah your life's your own
You see them everywhere you go
Chasing the sun in Alfa Romeos
You gotta catch 'em before they get too old
And I don't think you'll ever be happy
Chasing
Chasing a millionaire
Chasing a millionaire

"Moonlighting"

"Moonlighting"


He sees her at the same time every night
At the Mexican discotheque
She gives him French kisses
He gives her French cigarettes
They sit at the same table every time
The lights are low
But their eyes shine
Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands
She keeps him outta fights
Holds on to his hand
He whispers slowly "Tonight's the night"
Months of planning so it's gotta be right
Under the table her bag is bursting at the seams
She made sure to bring everything
Moonlighting
They're leaving everything
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends
Moonlighting
It's the only way
It's frightening
But it means they'll stay
Together
They're gonna make it together
His blue Morris van is parked in an alley
Just by Montague Street
His friend Eddie he did the re-spray
So he couldn't drive it all last week
And it cost most of the money that he had saved up
To pay Eddie's receipt
But he figures it's worth it 'cos the disguise is a must
When they go missing they're gonna look for the van first
She whispers slowly "It'll be alright
I took some cash from my building society
And my monthly cheque came in just right"
If only they knew they were giving it away
Moonlighting
They're leaving everything
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends
Moonlighting
It's the only way
It's frightening
But it means they'll stay
Together
They're gonna make it together
9:15 Monday morning at the printing works
The boss notices someone's not clocked in
And the water department of the council offices has a message
That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing
Meanwhile the Carlisle turn-off of the M6 Motorway
Drinking cold black coffee eating hot cup-cakes
She stares at him with his beard un-shaved
Wonders at his powers of staying awake
He whispers slowly "You did just fine"
They shared the driving all through the night
She laughs "My mother will have lost her mind
We're only ten miles to Gretna
They're three hundred behind"
Moonlighting
They're leaving everything
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends
Moonlighting
It's the only way
It's frightening
But it means they'll stay
Together
They're gonna make it together
Moonlighting
They're leaving everything
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends
Moonlighting
It's the only way
It's frightening
But it means they'll stay
Together
They're gonna make it together
