"We've Got Ourselves In Love"

"We've Got Ourselves In Love"


We were just friend's babe
But love came on too strong
We could not stop
What we knew was wrong
We meet in this hotel
To hide from prying eyes
Nobody knows
About out secret life
We've got ourselves in love babe
We've got ourselves in love
What are we going to do about us
We're so much in love
We got ourselves in love girl
We've got ourselves in love
Nothin' we can do about us
Being in love
Oh we're so much in love
Don't talk in my sleep babe
I don't repeat your name
But somehow she knows
That we're playing games
So we talk in whispers
And plan out getaway
We've got to make our move
Before it's too late
We've got ourselves in love girl
We got ourselves in love
What are we going to do about us
We're so much in love
We've got ourselves in love babe
We've got ourselves in love
Nothin' they can do
My conscience says
That you and I should stay as friends
My heart pretends, oh baby
With you my life can start again
Got ourselves in love babe
We've got ourselves in love
There's nothin' they can do about us
Being in love
We got ourselves in love
We've got ourselves in love
And I know we'll pull through
Just being in love

"When I Came Home This Morning"

"When I Came Home This Morning"


When I came home this morning
I got your letter and what it said
I didn't understand
You told me it was over, au revoir,
See you again sometime
I didn't understand
And overleaf you tell me that you love me
Meet me on the corner
The usual time, the usual place
I will be there
Meet me on the corner
I'll see you coming, then I'll be sure
Sure you'll be there
Oh and I wanna tell you that I love you
I love you
I see your face, I see the night
I love you, yeah I love you
Oh and deep in the night you know I see your eyes
Saying I love you
Honey I love you
I love you, yes I do
I stood on the corner
All the cars went sweeping by
Did somebody call me, no there was no-one there
Well, I'll go on waiting, perhaps tomorrow
Another day, I will be there
Oh and I wanna say that I love you
I just wanna say that I love you
I see your face, I see the night
I love you, yeah I love you
Oh and deep in my sleep you know I see your eyes
I love you
I love you
Yeah, I love you, yes I do
I love you
I love you
Yeah, I love you, yes I do

"When I Need You"

"When I Need You"


When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out, and do I like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you, babe
It's only a heartbeat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do
Oh, I need you
[Instrumental Interlude]
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
All I wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away
Oh, I need you darling

"When The Money Runs Out"

"When The Money Runs Out"


When the money runs out
What will we do
Turn around and start anew
Takes all your lovin' babe
To see me through
Without your love
What would I do
'Cos I'd put you and me babe
Up against the world
There ain't nobody else
Like you and me girl
Who wants the money and the luxury
When love and happiness
Is all you need
Can't you see that all you're living for
Is dollars and cents
Don't make no sense
And all you think about in the final end
Is spend spend, spend
So when the money runs out
We'll fly away
And quit the city life and find a hideaway
Live in the country babe
Off the fat of the land
Nothing to worry about
No money in the bank
Who needs the money - what does it mean
Another roll of paper babe - in a sea of green
To live life for money - you've got to be mad
When I watch you burn it up you know I feel so sad
[Solo]
So when the money runs out
What will you do
Turn to me babe and I'll pull you through
We'll give back the diamonds
And we'll sell the car
We'll live the simple life
And make a brand new start
'Cos I put you and me babe
Up against the world
There ain't nobody else
Like you and me girl
Who wants the money and the luxury
When love and happiness
Is all you need
Yeah when the money runs out
I still got you
Yeah when the money runs out
When the money runs out

"Where Did We Go Wrong"

"Where Did We Go Wrong"


Oh baby
You've stopped crying
Oh baby
Please, tell me what's on your mind
I can see the tears but I don't know why you're crying
Is it me or is it you
Is it real or just a mood
Well I know you're sad but what ya tryin' to prove
When you say that you can't go on
And you feel like you don't belong
You've to nobody to lean upon
It seems we've come to so far but we just can't get along
Darling, where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong baby
Darling, where did we go wrong
I wanna know, I wanna know
Darling, where did we go wrong
I'm gonna try and try and change
Where did we go wrong
I've been workin', never coming home at all
I left you chained to the kitchen busy walkin' up the wall
Now I don't want nobody else
And I'm not thinking about myself
When I say that I'll do anything to stop you
Saying that you don't belong
And what we had has just upped and gone
Please please try, try to be strong
Oh I apologise, I didn't mean to lead you on
Darling, where did we go wrong
I know where we went wrong
Where did we go wrong
Ooh
Darling, where did we go wrong
Somewhere along the line
Where did we go wrong
[Solo]
Well you know there ain't nobody else
I'd be a fool trying to please myself
If I thought that there could be anybody else
Well you'll see now at time goes on
I'll be the one that you can lean upon
We'll dry out the tears and never have to say that we were wrong
Ooh babe we'll get it on
Darling, where did we go wrong
We'll start again baby
Where did we go wrong
Change, let's change, let's change
Darling, where did we go wrong
Baby we went wrong somewhere
Where did we go wrong
But we can try again
We can try again

"Who Will The Next Fool Be"

"Who Will The Next Fool Be"


Falling, oh, oh, I'm falling
Falling so deep in love with you
But you say that
Only a fool could fall in love
With a girl like you
If that's the truth
What have I got to lose
And I wonder who, I wonder who
Who will be the next fool be
Will it be me
I wonder who
Can you tell me please
Who will the next fool be
Could it be me
Lonely, I'm so lonely
Maybe, maybe you're lonely too
So don't spend your time
Just sitting around
Wondering who will he be
Who will the next fool be
Let it me
I'm the one you need
Can you tell me please
Who will the next fool be
Let it be me
I don't mind
[Solo]
Falling, oh, oh, I'm falling
Falling, what can I do
Thinking a girl like you
Could fall for a fool like me
Who will the next fool be
Could it be me
I wonder who
Can you tell me please
Who will the next fool be
Could it be me
Can you tell me please
When you make up your mind
Who will the next fool be
Let it be me
Oh I need to know
I need to know
Who will the fool be
Will it be me
Oh, who will the next fool be
Who will the next fool be
Will you tell me please
I need to know

"Why Is Everybody Going Home"

"Why Is Everybody Going Home"


And if you say again to me
That we could all be free
I'll have to leave
Look at the sky
It's falling down
The world is spinning round
Without a sound
Where has all the lazy sunshine gone
Can anybody tell me
Why is everybody going home
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Oh have you stood
Before the wind
And let it blow your blues
So far away
Look at my life
Oh, what's the use
To everyone I know
Oh I'm a fool
Where have all the smiling faces gone
Can anybody tell me
Why is everybody going home
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me
Can anybody tell me

"Wondering Where The Lions Are"

"Wondering Where The Lions Are"


Sun's up, mm, hmm, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking about eternity
And this ecstasy's got a hold on me
Yeah, I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as frightening as they were before
I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
Walls windows trees, waves coming through
You'll be into me and I'll be into you
Together in eternity
All this ecstasy's got a hold on me
And I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Big orange flying boat rises off the lake
Thousand-year-old dinosaur doing a double take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting here in the middle of this ecstasy
Last night again there where lions at the door
But I wasn't frightened like I was before
Thinking about eternity
And the ecstasy that's got a hold on me
And I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
I'm wonderin'
[Solo]
Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days we're going to sail away
Sail into eternity
All this ecstasy's got a hold on me
And I'm wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Tell me where the lions are
Wonderin' where the lions are
Tell me where the lions are
Tell me where the lions are
Tell me where they are
I wanna know
Where the lions are

"Work"

"Work"


Five days outa seven
Eight hours of every one
I'm tryin' to buy a piece of heaven
But I'll be gone before that heaven comes
Work, work, work
Who needs it
It's all I ever seem to do
I'm killin' myself for a livin'
Livin' the working man's blues
Minute to minute
Day after day
Wherever I go it's always the same
I work a little longer
And make up my pay
But when the cheque comes along
They've taken half of it away
All this work, work, work, work
Who needs it
All, all I ever seem to do
Y'know I'm killin' myself for a livin'
I should be stayin' at home with you
City to city
All over the world
Wherever I've been to
That's all I ever heard
You work a little longer
To double up on that pay
Then the tax man comes along
They've taken half of it away
Work, work, work
Who needs it
It's all I ever seem to do
I'm killin', killin', killin' time for a livin'
Livin' the working man's blues
Yeah, work, work, work
Oh, my
That's all it is
Killin' myself for a livin'
Like drivin' a nail straight into my hand
I've been working my life away
That's right
Working my life away
I'm working my life
All this work, work, work,
Working my life away
Working my life away
You know sometimes I get home in the evenin'
And lay in bed at night just dreamin'
I had enough a whole pay cheque sittin' in my hand
So we can split it between the two of us
And buy that big mansion on the hill
Where that rich guy lives
Who says he pays me every week
Oh, I don't want to work no more
I can't stand it

"World Keeps On Turning"

"World Keeps On Turning"


Ooh, can't you see
The days are rollin' by
The things I read about the world outside
Don't seem to matter now you're here tonight
Hold me, love's callin', hold me if you can
The world just keeps on turning
It don't mean a thing to me
Long as I'm with you, babe
There's nothin' that I need
World just keeps on turning
But your lovin' stays the same
Long as I got you, babe
The world can roll away
Ooh, can you feel it
Now we're a million miles away
The world looks oh so small from up here, baby
And that's the way it's gonna stay
Hold on, love's callin', hold on if you can
The world just keeps turning
Don't mean a thing to me
Long as I'm with you, babe
There's nothin' that I need
World just keeps on turning
But your lovin' stays the same
Long as I got you, babe
The world can roll away
[Solo]
Oh, it's you and me, baby
Lost in our lovin' dreams
No one to tell us what we should or shouldn't do
This time life is more than it seems
Hold on, love's callin', hold on if you can
[Solo]
World just keeps on turning
Don't mean a thing to me
Long as I'm with you, babe
There's nothin' that I need
The world just keeps on turning
But your loving stays the same
Long as I got you, babe
World can roll away
Because the world
Just keeps on turning'
The world just keeps on turnin'
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
