"Time"

"Time"


[Chorus:]
Time waits for no one
That’s why can’t wait on you
Time waits for no one
That’s why can’t wait on you

[Verse:]
Bittersweet all the memories of you
But I don’t suppose you ever felt that way too
It was all I could do just to keep you entertained
But I just another, another link in your chain

[Chorus:]
Time waits for no one
That’s why can’t wait on you
Time waits for no one
That’s why can’t wait on you

[Verse:]
Bittersweet all the memories of you
I believed we had a future, constant entrude
And I dreamed of a family and I life we could’ve shared
But I guess you’ll be much better off with me out of your hair

[Chorus:]
Time waits for no one
That’s why can’t wait on you
Time waits for no one
That’s why can’t wait on you

[Verse:]
I’ll find someone else and I hope you do too
But please don’t come looking for me baby
‘Cause you know that we’re through

[Chorus:]
Time waits for no one
That’s why can’t wait on you
Time waits for no one
That’s why can’t wait on you

"Time After Time"

"Time After Time"


What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Lucky to be loving you

"To Be With You"

"To Be With You"


Oh, yeah

A shoulder to cry on
Someone to lean on
Someone to take you away

Someone to talk to
And somewhere to walk to
I need to remind you someway

Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)

A night to remember
The rain in September
I want to share it with you

The month by the ocean
We swore our devotion
Making all our wishes come true, come true

Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)

I want you to know
I've never before
Felt this way
No other words can say
I was lost just yesterday
Until I found you

Oh, yeah

Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)

The night to remember
The rain in September
I want to share it with you

The month by the ocean
We swore our devotion
Making all our wishes come true, come true

Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh

"Tom Traubert's Blues (Waltzing Matilda)"

"Tom Traubert's Blues (Waltzing Matilda)"


Wasted and wounded
And it ain't what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow
Hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

I'm an innocent victim
of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No-one speaks English
And everything's broken
And my strength is soaking away
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Malitda with me

Now the dogs they are barking
and the taxi cab's parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight

Old bushmills I staggered
You buried the dagger
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I kissed her
And the one-arm bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman
with the cold-blooded sigh
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

No I don't want your sympathy
Fugitives say
that the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnet
and the ghost that sells memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

And you can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant
She killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

And it's a battered old suitcase
in a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No prima donnas the perfume is on
and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street-sweepers,
The night watchmen flame-keepers
And goodnight Matilda too
Goodnight Matilda too.

"Tomorrow Is A Long Time"

"Tomorrow Is A Long Time"


If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all

Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the mirror
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echoes of my footsteps
and can't remember the sound of my own name

Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver singin' river
There's beauty in the sunlight in the sky
But none of these, and nothing else
can steal the beauty
that I remember in my true love's eyes

Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again

"Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me)"

"Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me)"


Yeah
I can tell by the look in your eyes
you've been bored for a long, long time.
You need love and so do I
let's turn it all around.

I don't want an everlasting thing,
I don't care if I see you again
so grab your coat and honey tell your friends
you won't be home,
you won't be home,
you won't be home.

Tonight I'm yours,
do anything that you want me to
don't hurt me, don't hurt me
Tonight I'm yours,
do anything 'cos I want you to.
Just don't hurt me, baby.

Yeah
I don't really want to challenge you
marry you or remember you.
I just wanna make love to you
for twenty four hours or more.
or more

I'm only looking for a fantasy,
an interlude from reality
don't want nobody tryin' to rescue me
so rock me babe,
rock me babe,
rock me, rock me.

Tonight I'm yours,
do anything that you want me to
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me
Tonight I'm yours,
do anything 'cos I want you to.
I want you to

And tomorrow morning we won't cry
you go your way, honey, I'll go mine.
I'm the one who didn't waste your time
remember me this way.

And if you never see my face again,
think of me as a permanent friend,
the one who loved you like a hurricane
then disappeared,
disappeared,
disappeared.

Tonight I'm yours,
do anything that you want me to
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me
Tonight I'm yours,
do anything 'cos I want you to.
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me

Tonight I'm yours,
do anything that you want me to
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me
Tonight I'm Yours
do anything 'cos I want you to
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me

Tonight I'm yours,
do anything that you want me to
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me
Tonight I'm Yours
do anything 'cos I want you to
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me

Tonight you're mine,
tonight you're mine
do anything,
do anything
Tonight you're mine,
tonight you're mine
tonight, always tonight you're mine.
Do anything that you,
do anything that you,
do anything that you want me to,
you want me to, you want me to,
you want me, want me , want me,
just do anything
anything your heart desires, babe.

"Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)"

"Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)"


Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind

Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate cause

Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside

Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old

Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you woman
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

"Tora, Tora, Tora (Out With The Boys)"

"Tora, Tora, Tora (Out With The Boys)"


Pay-day Friday and the weekend's here,
I've been workin' all week tryin' to pay for this gear
gonna raise Hell on Union Street,
thirteen guys and a packet of three.
And if I don't get laid I'll sure die tryin',
tonight this city's gonna be all mine.

I wanna talk about motorbikes, cars and things,
no sophistication or designer jeans.
I'm no angel, but I know what I like,
a little rough and tumble on a Friday night.
I'm like a cornered rat, I gotta explode.
Goodbye baby don't know when I'll be home.

Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.

By eleven o'clock I'll be flyin' high,
ain't nothing in the world that I won't try.
Jimmy got smashed, took his trousers off,
Barman said, " You boys have had enough.
Join the army, get yourself a decent job."
Indecent exposure in a parking lot.

Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.

[instrumental verse]

Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.

Bundle on the dance floor, a jaw got bust.
Swear to God that it wasn't one of us.
A seven foot bouncer called the police,
we got pulled in for disturbing the peace.
Well if you can't take a joke
then there ain't no point in living,
Sunday morning I woke up laughin'.

Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
What d' you say?
Tora, Tora, Tora, where's my old man?
Tora, Tora, Tora, where's my old man?
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.

playing fast, ain't it

"Tracks Of My Tears"

"Tracks Of My Tears"


People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You'll my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she might be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

Outside I'm masquerading, inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown, just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, the tracks of my tears
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

"Trade Winds"

"Trade Winds"


Here I stand looking, looking around me
While all around me what do I see
Unhappy faces behind a painted smile
Heartache and loneliness dressed up in modern style
Unhappy people living in sin and shame
Reflections of myself, life is no easy game
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time

Here I stand looking, looking around me
While all around me what do I see
Young girls who'll soon become
Streetwalkers in the night
Young boys, the restless breed
looking for a fight
Children both rich and poor
They're searching for the truth
If they don't find it
God help tomorrow's youth
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time

Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me
While all around me what do I see
Hatred and jealousy
Brotherhood is dying
Love is the answer
But nobody's buying
Good people turning bad
Some don't but they are few
The winds are blowing
The choice is all up to you
We're caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time

Yes we're caught up in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
We are riding on the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
