Letra / Lyrics

When I saw you standing there
I'about fell off my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet

Now, it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Mmm, baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Mmm, baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

Out where the world belongs
To only you and I

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning
Of another life

In a lifetime
There is only love
Reaching for the lonely one
We are stronger when we are given love
When we put emotions on the line
Know that we are the timeless ones

Meet me halfway

Out where the world belongs
To only you and I

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning

Well, the streets are all crowded
Lots of people around
And there's music playing
But I can't hear a sound

Just the sound of the rain
Falling silently down
Livin' ain't been livin'
Since you put me down

Yeah, life goes on around me every day
But it might as well be
Half a million miles away

It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town, until you come back to me
Oo, oo, till you come back to me

Well, I wish I still had you
Had you here next to me
Baby, where did you go?
Baby, why did you leave?

Oh, the world, it keeps turnin'
But it don't turn for me
Without you in my life
My life ain't no place to be

There's only lonely days and empty nights
Ain't the same without you, baby
Nothing's feelin' right
Nothing's feelin' right

It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town, until you come back to me
Oo oo, till you come back to me

Darlin', I wanna leave this town
Don't wanna be around
I'm gonna leave this town
It's like a ghost town

It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
A ghost town, until you come back to me
Oo oo, till you come back to me
It's like a ghost town
It's a ghost town

Hey hey, it's like a ghost town, can't you see?
It's like a ghost town
'Til you come, till you come back to me
Oo oo oo, 'til you come, till you come back to me

How can I tell you baby my back's against the wall

This must be love
Cause it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

Can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But with you I've found the key to open any door
I can feel my love for you growing stronger day by day
And I can't wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms

Is this love that I'm feeling?
Is this the love that I've been searching for?
Is this love or am I dreaming?
This must be love
Cause it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

Is this love that I'm feeling?
Is this the love that I've been searching for?
Is this love or am I dreaming?
Is this the love that I've been searching for?

Is this love or am I dreaming?

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

But there it is

You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever was done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all

You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

Letra / Lyrics

It's a God awful small affair
To the girl with the mousey hair
But her mummy is yelling, No!
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is no where to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seats with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is sadd'ning bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall
Oh man
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a sadd'ning bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall
Oh man
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

I Remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
So happy you made me

Oh Mandy
Well you came and you
Gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well you kissed me and
Stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothin' is rhyming

Oh Mandy
Well you came and you
Gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well you kissed me and
Stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, Oh, Mandy

Yesterday's a dream
I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling
Oh Mandy

Well you came and you
Gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well you kissed me and
Stopped me from shaking it
And I need you today
Oh Mandy

You came and you
Gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well you kissed me and
Stopped me from shaking
And I need you

Summer came and left without a warning
All at once I looked and you were gone
And now you're looking back at me
Searching for a way that we can be like we were before

Now I'm back to what I knew before you
Somehow the city doesn't look the same
I'd give my life for one more night
Of having you here to hold me tight, oh, please
Take me there again

And I remember how you loved me
Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye
I remember every moment of those endless summer nights

I still recall the walks along the beaches
And the way your hair would glisten in the sun
Rising in the afternoon
Making love to you under the moon

Do you remember all the nights we spent in silence
Every single breath you took was mine
We can have it all again
Say that you'll be with me when the sun brings your heart to mine

There's only so much I can say
So please don't run away from what we have together
It's only you and me tonight
So let's stay lost in flight
Oh, won't you please surrender

Letra / Lyrics

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself, I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

So remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights way out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights way out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car, and we go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job and
I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll be promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

So remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights way out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and I would find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
It is fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

Oh, girl
Pain will double if you leave me now
Cause I don't know where to look for love

Oh, yeah

Oh, girl
Why do I love you so, yeah
Better be on my way, I can't stay
Have you ever seen such a helpless man
Oh oh no

Letra / Lyrics

All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Well now my door was standing open
Security were laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off from my chain

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord he finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Letra / Lyrics

I never take anything for granted
Only a fool maybe takes things for granted
Just because it's here today
It can be gone tomorrow
And that's one thing that you
Never in your life ever have to worry about me
If I'll ever change towards you because
Baby I love you
Yeah I love you
Just the way you are

Don't go changing
Trying to please me
You never let me down before
I don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times
I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I don't want to work that hard
I just want some someone to talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from my heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

Thought it wouldn't matter
If we didn't stay together
And if it was over
Maybe it was for the better
I was thinking I'd be alright
'til I thought it all through
Now I know that I ain't really living
If I have to live without you

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Guess I had to go away
So much I had to go through
Guess I had to lose you
To realize how much I love you
Can we make the fire burn again
Burn a little stronger?
'Cause I've been alone, and baby
I can't be alone now any longer

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Oh, if I had to make it on my own
My life would never be the same
My love would never be the same
I don't wanna live without your love

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Tanta vida pra viver
Charminho doce

Diz a frase certa
Só você sabe me abrir
É só assim
Que eu consigo descobrir
Como é gostoso
Me entregar e te sentir

É, quando se ama
A gente finge que não vê
Que o tempo passa
E mais um pouco de você
Melhor assim.
Bom pra você, melhor pra mim

E amanhã
Quem sabe a gente outra vez
Só mais uma vez
Amanhã talvez
Só mais uma vez
O amor que a gente fez

I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely

Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry?
No one will care, girl
Look at the stars now, so far away

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today

So there it is, girl
We've got it all now
And here we are, babe
What do you say?

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely , both of us lonely

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

Through these misty eyes
I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon

Where's my family
And my country
Heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die

Put me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind

How I miss her now
In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle

And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
Every beat of my heart tears me further apart

I'm lost and I'm alone in the dark

I'm going home ! I'm going home

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

Said, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in TrenchTown
Observing the hypocrites
As they would,
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry yours tears I say

And no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Here little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

Said, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in TrenchTown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As it was, log wood burning through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone I mean
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright, so

Woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in TrenchTown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As it was, log wood burning through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Hey, here little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Here little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way
I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling and keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for
Whoa, good times and the bad times
I'll be on your side forever more

Letra / Lyrics

So true funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound

I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin all night long
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound

Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of it's own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known

I know this much is true
I know this much is true

I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said

I know this much is true
I know this much is true
This much is true

This much is true
This much is true

This much is true
This much is true
I know, I know, I know this much is true

This much is true
This much is true

This much is true
This much is true
I know, I know, I know this much is true

This much is true
This much is true

This much is true
This much is true

This much is true
This much is true
I know this much is true

This much is true
This much is true
Come on, come on, come on, yeah

This much is true
This much is true
Oh I say, ooh I say come on

This much is true
This much is true

This much is true
This much is true

You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe, I love you

Babe, I'm leaving, I'll say it once again
Somehow try to smile
Cause I know the feelings we're trying to forget
If only for a while

Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
Cause I'll be missing you

Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooh, babe
