"Karma"

"Karma"



I drop a stone into the ocean, every choice,
another turn of the screw,
Another wheel set in motion, with every single thing I do
It's there in the air that I breathe, it's in my whisper and scream
Inside everything I believe, and
it's all gonna come around someday

As the smallest stream runs to a river
and every river runs to the sea
So every bit of love that I give to another,
You know that I believe it comes back to me

There is no absolution whether I'm the garden or the rose
If I ain't part of the solution... yeah you know how that goes
You can always leave but you bring it all back home someday

Every single thing I say, everyone I betray
Any love that I take when I do not make it in return
Every thing I do and every time I've been unfaithful too
all the things that I believe are lessons I must learn

"Kristina"

"Kristina"



Counting the headlights passing two by two
Searching the stream of steel and chrome
I'm looking for love, I know you're looking too
So rev up your heart and take me home
A wish and a prayer won't get me there tonight
Longing to hold you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

I know you like to drive it hard and fast
You tear up the speed zone in my heart
Just give me one night to prove our love can last
I can make love a work of art
A wish and a prayer won't get me there tonight
Longing to hold you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina

Where the cars go by
All the day and night
Why don't you say
What's so wrong tonight
Pray for me
Praying for the light
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight

Where the lights all shine
Like I knew they would
Be mine all mine
Baby I'll be good
Pray for me
Praying for the light
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight

I know a place
Where everything's alright, alright
Let's go out tonight

Coming out alright, yeah
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight, yeah

Tonight, tonight, yeah, tonight

"Life In A Northern Town"
(originally by The Dream Academy)

"Life In A Northern Town"
(originally by The Dream Academy)



A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah -

[Chant:]
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.

They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To listen.
He said "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles."

[Chant:]
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
All the work shut down.

The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain,
As we followed him down
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye.

[Chant:]
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.

"Life Is A Celebration"

"Life Is A Celebration"



I was lost on a winding road
I thought that life had nothing left to give
Then you came and showed me that just to live
Was the greatest gift of all?
And you showed me

Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration?
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!

How could I have been so blind?
Just to think that we were living to die
Then you came along and I was no longer alone
And you lead me to the light
And you showed me

Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration?
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!

And you showed me life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration?
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate

Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate life!

"Like Father, Like Son"

"Like Father, Like Son"



He was raised in the English way
His daddy taught him respect, he taught him how to pray
They sent him off to boarding school
Where he learned how to live by someone else's rule

And he went to confession
He went to confession
Holy Father wash my sins away
He went to confession
He went to confession
Mother Mary take the pain away

He read letters from home at night in his bed
And got this uneasy feeling when his father said

Fear of God and the feel of the rod
Will raise a good boy
The fear of God and the feel of the rod
Will raise a good boy

He bought his daddy's car and he learned to drive
And when he left school he got a nine to five
He met the girl and he got his spouse
And they had the child and they got the house

And he went to confession
He went to confession
Holy Father wash my sins away
He went to confession
He went to confession
Mother Mary take the pain away

He loved his son and he helped him build walls and fronts
He knew he'd heard it before
Someone had said it once

Fear of God and the feel of the rod
Will raise a good boy
The fear of God and the feel of the rod
Will raise a good boy

He raised his son in the English way
And he taught him respect, he taught him how to pray
He sent him off to boarding school
Where he learned how to live by someone else's rules

And he went to confession
He went to confession
Holy Father wash my sins away
He went to confession
He went to confession
Mother Mary take the pain away

It must be something much deeper than fear or pain
Another child learns a pattern he won't break the chain

Fear of God and the feel of the rod
Will raise a good boy
The fear of God and the feel of the rod
Will raise a good boy
The fear of God and the feel of the rod
Will raise the next boy

"Living In Oz"

"Living In Oz"



Ever since I was a kid
I remember having dreams of grandeur
I was gonna be someone, I know what I want

Everybody played second best
And I held you back just like all the rest
I think I got what I want

Everybody's got to fight their demons
And you know I had to fight mine, too
It took a lot out of me, it took a lot out of you

To be Living In Oz, Living In Oz
Sometimes the dream can wake you
Living In Oz, Living In Oz
Sometimes the dream can shock you, too

All the money that I spend on you
Doesn't mean a thing if the love's not true
Baby please, I'll get what you want

Can't you tell me you and me ain't lost
I know what I did, I know what it cost
Now I'm yours and I've got what you want

All the fightin' will have been for nothin'
If at the end I can't have you
I'll throw it all away if that's what you want me to do

Living In Oz, Living In Oz
Sometimes the dream can wake you
Living In Oz, Living In Oz
Sometimes the dream can shake you, too

Funny how desire can burn you up inside
And make you commit emotional suicide
Everybody's got the desire to leave their mark
Some just do it over a trail of broken hearts

And all the people that protect and serve
Would disappear if the well dried up
I'm thirsty for affection
Let me drink from your loving cup

Living In Oz, Living In Oz
Sometimes the dream can shock you
Living In Oz, Living In Oz
Sometimes the dream can rock you
Living In Oz, Living In Oz
Sometimes the dream can shake you
Living In Oz, Living In Oz
Sometimes the dream can wake you, too

"Looking For The One"

"Looking For The One"



I was feelin' much in need
Of the arms of a lover
When my radar picked her up
On the arm of another
I've been lookin' for the one
And I'll tell you brother
I had the feeling we were gonna be more than friends

We were each other
Still Looking For The One
With the fire in her eyes
Living inside a paradise
Still Looking For The One
On like the light,
Darlin' don't let me sleep alone tonight
Still Looking For The One
And wake in the morning all alone and
Looking For The One
Looking For The One

Too many nights with the wrong one
And my heart ran for cover
I'm a lonely, lonely soul
In search of another
I been a wondering baby
Since I left my mother
I got a feelin' your gonna be here in time
I know you will

Still Looking For The One
With the fire in her eyes
Living inside a paradise
Still Looking For The One
On like the light
Darlin' don't let me sleep alone tonight
(Still Looking For The One)
And wake in the morning all alone
Looking For The One
Looking For The One

Still Looking For The One
With the fire in her eyes
Living inside a paradise
Still Looking For The One
On like the light
Darlin' don't let me sleep alone tonight
(Still Looking For The One)
And wake in the morning all alone
Looking For The One
Looking For The One
Looking for the one

"Love Is Alright Tonight"

"Love Is Alright Tonight"



I'm picking up my baby tonight
Though her daddy's making trouble
It will be alright
I'm working hard, I don't know why
I'm like a working class dog
And I just get by
Tonight I'm crawling out from in it
And though we're livin' on the brink
Second by second by minute by minute

Love is alright tonight
We're gonna be alright
Love is alright
Love is alright tonight

Everyone's sayin' the sky's gonna fall
Don't know where it's gonna stop
If it stops at all
I know the world's goin' crazy alright
I hope it holds together for one more night
Tonight I'm crawling out from in it
And tho' we're livin' on the brink
Second by second by minute by minute

Love is alright tonight
We're gonna be alright
Love is alright
Love is alright tonight

Don't worry, Daddy, I'll have her home at a respectable hour
Go to sleep, Daddy, you won't think about tonight
With the night comes a feeling of incredible power
Gonna love her, Daddy, she'll be feeling it tonight
Alright, it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright

Love is alright tonight
We're gonna be alright
Love is alright
Love is alright tonight
