"Help Is On Its Way"

"Help Is On Its Way"


Why are you in so much hurry
Is it really worth the worry
Look around
Then slow down

What's it like inside the bubble
Does your head ever give you trouble
It's no sin
Trade it in

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
Hang on, a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

Are you always in confusion
Surrounded by illusion
Sort it out
You'll make out

Seem to make a good beginning
Someone else ends up winning
Don't seem fair
Don't you care

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
Hang on, a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

Don't you forget who'll take care of you
It don't matter what you do
Form a duet, let him sing melody
You'll provide the harmony

Why are you in so much hurry
Is it really worth the worry
Look around
Then slow down

What's it like inside the bubble
Does your head ever give you trouble
It's no sin
Trade it in

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
Hang on, a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
Hang on, a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

"Home On Monday"

"Home On Monday"


Can you guess where I'm calling from?
The Las Vegas Hilton
I know it's hard to hear
It's just the echo on the line
Yes, that's right I'm calling from
The Las Vegas Hilton
I just wanna say that I'm feeling fine

I'll be home on a Monday
Somewhere around noon
Please don't be angry
I'll be back with you real soon

I was hoping to catch a glimpse
Of the man from Memphis
They told me that he had gone
Never leaving a trace
I just could never get involved
With those one armed bandits
Sure am craving for the smile on your face

I'll be home on a Monday
Somewhere around noon
Please don't be angry
I'll be back with you real soon

You looked so lovely
When I left I nearly didn't go
Twelve thousand miles is
Such a long way
Help me get to grips with

Hollywood - you're getting through to me
Hollywood - you're in my movie

I'll be home on a Monday
Somewhere around noon
Please don't be angry
I'll be back with you real soon, oh

I'll be home on a Monday
Somewhere around noon
Please don't be angry
I'll be back with you real soon

Can you guess where I'm calling from?
Yes that's right I'm calling from
The Las Vegas Hilton

"How Many Nights"

"How Many Nights"


How many nights will go by searchin' for truth between the lines?
How many dreams will come true before we believe what is coming through?
How many days will it take and not give a damn about the bonds we break?
'til we decide to unite, I wonder how many nights?

On and on we go, the wind will blow our way,
And we take a chance that love will come to stay,
We could change the past if we had second sight,
But we still would say "I wonder how many nights?"

How many nights will we sleep and not know a thing about the dreams we keep?
How many tears 'til we know we can't have it all until we all let go?
How many times will we break and come back again to make the same mistake?
Until we find out who's right, I wonder how many nights?

On and on we go, the wind will blow our way,
And we take a chance that love will come to stay,
We could change the past if we had second sight,
But we still would say "I wonder how many nights?"

On and on we go (one and on we go) and the wind will blow (and the wind will blow)
And we take a chance (and we take a chance), on how many nights (on how many nights)
On and on we go (on and on we go) and the winds will blow (on and on)

How many nights will transpire wanting for love and playing with fire?
Do we know what we must learn before we can love and be loved in return?
Until we ask ourselves why, I wonder how many nights?

On and on we go, the wind will blow our way,
And we take a chance that love will come to stay,
We could change the past if we had second sight,
But we still would say "I wonder how many nights?"

"I Dream Alone"

"I Dream Alone"


I was born near the factory,
Where Henry wrote his name,
Sometimes I could hear the whistle blow,
My father pushed his headlights,
Thru that northern English rain,
He was proud of everything he drove.

And mother's hair was fashioned,
For that very special day,
She cried on board the liner,
And tried to wave good-bye,
Five weeks of remembering, those names we couldn't say,
Staring at the South Pacific sky.

I share my life with the immigrants and the ramblers,
I drink my wine with the middlemen and the gamblers,
I spend my time with schemers on the phone,
But when I dream, I dream alone, I dream alone,
I dream alone, I dream alone.

As soon as we set foot on the sunburnt land,
The mountains all around us ran with fire,
My family knew right then that our best laid plans,
Would have to reach a lot higher.

I share my life with the immigrants and the ramblers,
I drink my wine with the middlemen and the gamblers,
I spend my time with schemers on the phone,
But when I dream, I dream alone, I dream alone,
I dream alone, I dream alone.

Rows of simple houses, kids out on the street,
Windows all aglow from the brand new TV sets,
Screen door always slamming in that endless summer heat,
My father working late to pay his debts,
My father working late to pay hid debts.
Now my little boy is safe in the comfort of his bed,
The monster he invented we both chased into the night,
His puzzle lies in pieces by the book that we just read,
The story of a man who touched the sky ...

I share my life with the immigrants and the ramblers,
I drink my wine with the middlemen and the gamblers,
I spend my time with schemers on the phone,
But when I dream, I dream alone ...
I share my life with the immigrants and the ramblers,
I drink my wine with the middlemen and the gamblers,
I spend my time with schemers on the phone,
But when I dream, I dream alone, I dream alone,
I dream alone, I dream alone.

"I Know It"

"I Know It"


I live alone,
I'm little known,
I'm mad about my lady and glad about the way she loves me,
I go away, but on the day,
Hate it to be leavin' and want just to be seeing my lady.
And when I come home, she gives me a feelin' so fine,
I'm still there locked in her mind,
And I know it, know it,
She wants to be with me,
I see it all in her eyes, her feelings are hard to disguise,
And I know it.
We talked about the world and wanted to share it someday,
But never had the chance cos circumstance took us away,
So many things on my mind left to say,
So many nights, and empty days.

Now I live alone,
I'm little known, I'm mad about my lady and sad about the way,
I'm mad about my lady.
And when I come home, she gives me a feelin' so fine,
I'm still there locked in her mind,
And I know it, know it,
She wants to be with me,
I see it all in her eyes, her feelings are hard to disguise,
And I know it.

"I Think I Left My Heart With You"

"I Think I Left My Heart With You"


I hope it's not too late to call
I couldn't wait a moment more
I don't know what else to do
I need to ask a favor

Check behind each of your doors
Search throughout your rooms and halls
Secret corners, look there too
I think I left my heart with you

Don't forget to remember
Cos you're always on my mind
I don't care if I've lost my heart this time

If you find it keep it safe
Wrapped within your warm embrace
I could be wrong, that's nothing new
But I think I left my heart with you

Don't forget to remember
Cos you're always on my mind
I don't care if I've lost my heart this time
I'm not beggin' but

Maybe you could be so kind
To make a home for this heart of mine
Maybe I could live there too
I think I left my heart with you

Think I left my heart
I think I left my heart with you

"I'll Always Call Your Name"

"I'll Always Call Your Name"


And I know if I don't go
I'll never ever be like a rolling stone
I know I'm leaving you today

There were times when I coulda done
I didn't feel as ready as I shoulda done
I feel the time is right

Now and then when I'm on my own
And can't get used to being all this way from home
My heart feels kinda sad

It's a time when I am not sure
Which way my crazy life is pulling me towards
I know I'll always call your name

I'll always call your name
I'll always call your name
I'll always call your name
I'll always call your name

Sometimes I get the feeling
I'm acting like a fool
But then I get ambition
And it tends to overrule

And even when I'm down
The feeling's just the same
Ain't nothing gonna hurt me
I'll always call your name, name, name

And you've shown me good times and bad
And right from wrong whenever I confuse my head
I still regard you as my home

Just the same if fortune and fame
Should come along and take me down a lonely lane
You know I'll always call your name

I'll always call your name
I'll always call your name
I'll always call your name
I'll always call your name

"I'm An Island"

"I'm An Island"


I came down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
I took you at your word that night
When you said get out of my life
I left, you staid, I’ll forget you, at least I’ll try to
Time to move on ‘cause that’s what I do

I’m my own man, I’m an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I can’t get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave that crashes in
And tares me down again
I’m an island

The sun sets on another day
I sit and drink and waste away in this old beach town
Everybody here is so laid back
I pretend to be like that
But every song still reminds me what’s behind me
I gotta get some place where you can’t find me

‘Cause I’m my own man, I’m an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I can’t get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave that crashes in
And tares me down again

I’ve been stranded for a while
Girl, my biggest fear
Is I could sail a million miles and I’d still be right here

I’m my own man, I’m an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But there’s no getting over you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave that crashes in
And tares me down again
I’m an island

I came down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away

"If I Get Lucky"

"If I Get Lucky"


When I fall down hard, I don't break
I just bruise
I get the call to give or take
If I choose

I keep runnin' night and day
If I can't find the truth
Anyway it's all the same
Till someone cuts me loose

But if I get lucky
And if I get lucky
Maybe I can lose these lonesome blues
Yeah, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
If I get lucky
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
If I get lucky, babe

I build a wall to hide behind
Keepin' low
I need a hole to crawl inside
When things get slow

I believe the danger line
Begins with you alone
Someday baby you might find
That it's me who's coming home

But if I get lucky
Maybe life will be a cruise
And if I get lucky
Maybe I can lose these lonesome blues
Yeah, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
If I get lucky, babe
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
If I get lucky

Well, it's easy to say
Some things never change
So why should they change for me?

Though I never tried
It can't be denied
I set all your horses free

But if I get lucky
Maybe life will be a cruise
And if I get lucky
Maybe I can lose these lonesome blues
Yeah, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
If I get lucky, babe
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
If I get lucky, babe

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
If I get lucky, babe
If I get lucky

Well, it's easy to say
Some things never change
(If I get lucky)
So why should they change for me?
(If I get lucky)

Though I never tried
(If I get lucky)
It can't be denied
I'll set all your horses free
(If I get lucky)

If I get lucky
(If I get lucky, babe)

"Inside Story"

"Inside Story"


Deadline, the beasts have come to life,
The silence has been spoken, they'll have their way tonight,
Headline, a secret agony,
Rumors can be proven, there's a picture on page three.

Gonna bring you the inside story,
Run it as a front page spread,
Gonna tell you the inside story,
Did you hear what the victim said?

Showtime, and there's anger at the scene,
Our star is under pressure,
Get his face up on the screen,
Wild eyes, as the car is rushed away,
Your shame is what they feed on,
And we read everything they say.

Gonna bring you the inside story,
Run it as a front page spread,
Get a load of the inside story,
Did you hear what the victim said,
Gonna bring you the inside story,
Play it on the nighly news,
Doesn't matter how we get the story,
Doesn't matter who we have to use.

If the city closes up their thrill is gone,
They no longer hold the keys to Babylon,
So they wait in towers built to ill advise,
For another famous head to vicimize.
Hard time, for the guy who played to win,
They claim he's been broken,
He'll have to fight to save his skin.

Gonna bring you the inside story,
Run it as a front page spread,
Get a load of the inside story,
Did you hear what the victim said,
Gonna bring you the inside story,
Play it on the nighly news,
Doesn't matter how we get the story,
Doesn't matter who we have to use.

Gonna bring you the inside story,
Run it as a front page spread,
Get a load of the inside story,
Did you hear what the victim said,
Gonna bring you the inside story,
Play it on the nighly news,
Doesn't matter how we get the story,
Doesn't matter who we have to use.
