No I can’t forget this evening  
Or your face as you were leaving  
But I guess that’s just the way  
The story goes  
You always smile but in your eyes  
Your sorrow shows  
Yes it shows  
No I can’t forget tomorrow  
When I think of all my sorrow  
When I had you there  
But then I let you go  
And now it’s only fair  
That I should let you know  
What you should know

I can’t live  
If living is without you  
I can’t live  
I can’t give anymore  
I can’t live  
If living is without you  
I can’t give  
I can’t give anymore

Tear the roof off, we’re gonna tear the roof off the mother, sucker  
Tear the roof off the sucker

You’ve got a real type of thing going down, gettin’ down  
There’s a whole lot of rhythm going round

Ow, we want the funk  
Give up the funk  
Ow, we need the funk  
We gotta have that funk

Sleep all day, out all night  
I know where you’re goin’  
I don’t think that’s actin’ right  
You don’t think it’s showin’

And now I’m all alone again  
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to  
Without a home, without a friend,  
Without a face to say hello to.  
And now the night is near  
Now I can make believe he’s here.

I was on the inside  
When they pulled the four walls down  
I was looking through the window  
I was lost, I am found

If you walk away, walk away  
I walk away, walk away, I will follow  
If you walk away, walk away,  
I walk away, walk away, I will follow  
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle  
I see you when I go in there  
Your eyes, your eyes

If you walk away, walk away  
I walk away, walk away, I will follow

</div>

And when I see the sign that points one way  
The lot we used to pass by every day

Just walk away Renee  
You won’t see me follow you back home  
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same  
You’re not to blame

Sailin’ away on the crest of a wave, it’s like magic  
Rollin’ and ridin’, slippin’ and slidin’, it’s magic  
And you and your sweet desires  
You took me higher and higher, baby

It’s a livin’ thing. It’s a terrible thing to lose  
It’s a given thing. What a terrible thing to lose

You have to believe we are magic  
Nothin’ can stand in our way  
You have to believe we are magic  
Don’t let your aim ever stray  
And if all your hopes survive  
Your destiny will arrive  
I’ll bring all your dreams alive  
For you

You’re sailin’ softly through the sun  
In a broken stone-age dawn  
You fly so high, I get a

Strange magic, oh, what a  
Strange magic, oh, it’s a

At the birth of time, the beginning of beginnings, one cosmic soul was created  
A bringer of life, a Universal Migrator  
Born to sow its seeds in all the galaxies  
Like a cell dividing, it spreads in all directions, creating life among the stars  
I’m struck with awe as I join the Great Migrator  
Now it takes flight to the brightest star of all

On a quest for life, through the sable skies  
What a show! Behold!  
The dawn of a million souls  
On a bold crusade, in the realm of shade  
What a show! Behold!  
The dawn of a million souls

Just on the border of your waking mind  
There lies another time where darkness and light are one  
And as you tread the halls of sanity  
You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond  
I have a message from another time

</div>

Ready for the enemy, hungry for the battle  
Fighting hard for victory in the army of the king  
Armed with shield and sword we mounted our horses  
Leaving on a sacred quest on our way to fight the holy war

They attacked from different sides, hard pressed with numbers  
We could not even run nor hide, we had to stand and fight  
Then I felt a blade of steel penetrate my armour  
I did not dream the pain was real  
As I went down, I knew my time had come

And then he rode into the night  
Towards that eerie distant light that seemed to charm him  
Until he came to a road that disappeared beyond the last horizon  
He knew there’d be no way back  
Once he had vanished in the blackness of Infinity  
And so he gathered all his strength not to descend into the valley of death  
(Into the valley of death…)

Now the valley cried with anger,  
“Mount your horses! Draw your sword!”  
And they killed the mountain-people,  
So they won their just reward.

If you need me, call me  
No matter where you are  
No matter how far  
Just call my name  
I’ll be there in a hurry  
You don’t have to worry

'Cause baby,  
There ain’t no mountain high enough  
Ain’t no valley low enough  
Ain’t no river wide enough  
To keep me from getting to you

If the sky above you  
should turn dark and full of clouds  
and that old north wind should begin to blow  
Keep your head together and call my name out loud  
and soon I will be knocking upon your door.  
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am  
I’ll come running to see you again.  
Winter, spring, summer or fall  
all you got to do is call  
and I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend?  
People can be so cold.  
They’ll hurt you and desert you.  
Well they’ll take your soul if you let them.  
Oh yeah, but don’t you let them.

Colour me your colour, baby  
Colour me your car  
Colour me your colour, darling  
I know who you are

I know where you’re comin’ from

Call me, call me any, anytime  
Call me (call me) my love  
You can call me any day or night  
Call me

Sweet Nancy was so fancy to get into her pantry  
Had to be the aristocracy  
The members that she toyed with at her city club  
Were something in diplomacy  
So we put her on the hit list of a common **cunning linguist**  
A master of many tongues  
And now she eases gently from her Austin to her Bentley  
Suddenly she feels so young

I can’t deny it  
With that smile on her face  
It’s not the kill  
It’s the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming  
It’s knocking at the door  
You know it’s no good running  
It’s not against the law  
The point of no return  
And now you know the score  
And now you’re learning  
What’s knockin’ at your back door

She keeps Moet et Chandon  
In a pretty cabinet  
‘Let them eat cake’ she says  
Just like Marie-Antoinette  
A built-in remedy  
For Khrushchev and Kennedy  
At anytime an invitation  
You can’t decline

Caviar and cigarettes  
Well versed in etiquette  
Extraordinarily nice

She’s a Killer Queen  
Gunpowder, guillotine  
Dynamite with a laser beam  
Guaranteed to blow your mind  
Anytime

There’s nothing left, so save your breath  
Lying in wait (Caught inside this tidal wave)  
Your cover’s blown, nowhere to go  
Holding your fate (Loaded I will walk alone)

Fire your guns  
It’s time to run  
Blow me away  
(I will stay, in the mess I made)  
After the fall  
We’ll shake it off  
Show me the way

Only the strongest will survive  
Lead me to heaven, when we die  
I am the shadow on the wall  
I’ll be the one to save us all
