"Light A Candle"

"Light A Candle"


It's here again
It's that time of year
We're so far apart
That it's breaking my heart
Just to know you won't be here
But I won't cry
I didn't ask why

So just light a candle for me
On New Years Eve
All on my own
You're so far away
A year further on
And the feeling's still strong
How I wish you'd wanted to stay
But I'd be strong
Cause it won't be long
So just light a candle for me
On Christmas Eve

And when the bells are ringing
And Christmas is bringing
A magic that fills the air
You'll be a wonderful sight
On a cold christmas night
And I know
I'll be there
With you, with you
Christmas with you

Thinking of you
As I walk through the snow
I remember your kiss
And just how much I miss
Your smile, I won't let go
But I'll be strong
No, it won't be long
So just light a candle for me
On New Years Eve

And when the bells are ringing
And Christmas is bringing
A magic that fills the air
You'll be a wonderful sight
On a cold christmas night
And I know
I'll be there
With you, with you
Christmas with you

But I'll be strong
It won't be long
So just light a candle for me
On Christmas Eve

And when the bells are ringing
And Christmas is bringing
A magic that fills the air
You'll be a wonderful sight
On a cold christmas night
And I know
I'll be there
With you, with you
Christmas with you
With You

"Light Up My Life"

"Light Up My Life"


Sadness has gone from the light in my eyes,
Will she be waiting.
Should I feel proud of the tears that I cried,
No hesitating.

Happiness sounds like the one I have lost,
Only to follow.
Where in the world is the one that I've crossed,
Gone is tomorrow.

[Chorus:]
Light in my eyes,
Light up my face,
Light up my life, light up my life,
Light up my life, light up my life.

Feelings of fear all around someone's here,
Look all around me.
Could it be she rediscovering me,
Or did she see.

[Chorus, solo, chorus]

"Listen To Your Radio"

"Listen To Your Radio"


I'm getting tired of all of the same video's
And music machines
I'm getting bored of watching the same tv shows
It means nothing to me
There is a place I can go
Adjusted the dial start the show
I feel all right
Listen to your radio
Non-stop music radio
Tune into your favourite radio
Listen to your radio
Non-stop music radio
Play your favourite station radio
Play your radio
Driving my car no particular place to go
And nothing to see
Turned the dial heard the Beatles, the Kinks and the Stones
That's music to me
Cruising around with my girl
We've got no cares in the world
I feel all right
All right
Listen to your radio...
There is a place where I can go
Adjusted the dial start the show
I feel all right
All right
Listen to your radio...
Play your radio
Listen to your radio
Non-stop music radio

"Little Lucy"

"Little Lucy"


You're wasting my time
You're drinking my wine
So Little lucy say goodbye
I've stood quite enough
I'm calling your bluff
The cost of loving's much too hight
So little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye

You know our love's just one big lie
We put on a sho, but now you must go
And we can't say we didn't try
So little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry
We've had some trouble
Ain't gonna see your face no more
Now at the double
I'm gonna see ya just go right through that door
You're wasting my time,
You're drinking my wine
So Little Lucy say goodbye

I'm calling your bluff
The cost of lobing's much too high
So little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry

So little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry

That little town flirt.

And you're gonna get hurt.

"Liverpool Docks"

"Liverpool Docks"


Once knew a man who thought he was another guy, he was livin' a lie.
He took a chance by roaming the streets in the night,
Till he learned how to fight.
He met trouble one night, another man with his wife.
So he brought out his knife, didn't mean to take his life.
Now he's got to get away, hear him say.

[Chorus: (First)]
I'm going down to the Liverpool Docks,
Try to hitch a ride, ain't gonna break no rocks.
And I never had a friend, I never needed one.
I'm going down to the silvery sea,
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me.
And maybe I can go where I won't ever have to come back again.

He took his time, lived his life alone,
An' his thoughts were his own.
He lived in a place he'd never heard of before,
In Block number four.
Then one night at his door, he stood facing the law.
On the paper he saw, what they wanted him for,
They're gonna take him back, and he said.

[Chorus: (Second)]
I'm goin' back to the Liverpool Docks,
Gonna take a ride, gotta break some rocks.
And I never had a friend, but I never needed one.
Take a ride on the silvery sea,
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me.
An' I don't wanna go 'cos I know that I'll never come back again.

[Chorus: (First) repeat]

"Living Next Door To Alice"

"Living Next Door To Alice"


Sally called when she got the word,
And she said: "I suppose you've heard -
About Alice".
When I rushed to the window,
And I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes -
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive...

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...

We grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
We carved our initials,
Deep in the bark,
Me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive.

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
And she said: "I know how to help -
Get over Alice".
She said: "Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting
For twenty-four years..."
And a big limousine dissapeared...

I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

"Lodi"
(originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival)

"Lodi"
(originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival)



Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad, and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh! Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Rode in on the greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
The man from the magazine said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh! Lord, stuck in Lodi again
If I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song I've sung
And ev'ry time I've had to play while people sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live

Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

"London Is Burning"

"London Is Burning"


London is burning, see the flames in the night
And I don't want to know any more
London is burning, it's a terrible sight
And I don't want to know any more

See the churches and houses
Burned to the ground
London is burning
Spread it around

London is burning, streets full of fear
And I don't want to know any more
London is burning, may the plague disappear
And I don't want to know any more

God save this city
God save the crown
London is burning
Spread it around

Simon sits beyond despair
Lost in the flickering light
But he doesn't really care
The life has lost his fight
Lost in the flickering light

London is burning, see the flames in the night
And I don't want to know any more
London is burning, it's a terrible sight
And I don't want to know any more

All kinds of people
In all parts of town
Say London is burning
Spread it around

"Long Time Coming"

"Long Time Coming"


Didn't want it baby
Never going crazy
I'm a worried mind.

Never waiting for it
I just adore it
Would you be so kind.

It's been a long time coming
A long time coming.

I'm anticipatin'
Feeling that it's creatin'
I must be next in line.

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
Long time coming.

I know it's a nasty habit
The way I always grab it
But I want this all so bad.

So going do to me
No one else will do me
It's the best I've ever had.

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time, yeah.
