If you change your mind, I’m the first in line  
Honey I’m still free  
Take a chance on me  
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around  
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down  
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown  
Honey I’m still free  
Take a chance on me  
Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie  
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

If I needed someone to love  
You’re the one that I’d be thinking of  
If I needed someone  
If I had some more time to spend  
Then I guess I’d be with you my friend  
If I needed someone

My Beautiful Friend  
I will pay attention don’t say this is the end  
I find it hard to describe you  
To point and discover you  
Could I tell you once again

O My Beautiful Friend

Let me sleep and I will feed you when you’re hungry  
Forever live inside of me  
Thru the holes in the pockets of my clothes  
High as high as an angel  
I will stand there beside you  
Love is all we need

O My My My Beautiful Friend

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,  
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee,  
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,  
Lulld by the moonlight have all passed away!

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer  
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!

Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!

Don’t fall in love with a dreamer  
'Cause he’ll always take you in  
Just when you think you’ve really changed him  
He’ll leave you again  
Don’t fall in love with a dreamer  
'Cause he’ll break you every time  
Oh, put out the light, just hold on  
Before we say goodbye

Time to say goodbye  
Paesi che non ho mai  
Veduto e vissuto con te  
Adesso si li vivro.

At least you and I know where we stand  
We can’t be friends, walk hand in hand  
My hostility for you defies description

Hatred, hatred  
Is the only thing that keeps us together  
Hatred, hatred  
Is the only thing that lasts forever

Who the hell are you to tell me  
What to do, why to do, why bother  
Leech in a mask of virtue  
Such waste, to ever think of you again

Hey Judas, your Christess was our love  
Hit and run, your will be done  
Never sorry, never wrong  
More more more more more

Master passion greed

As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea,  
A vision came o’er me,  
Of thundering hooves and beating wings  
In the clouds above.

Turning to go, I heard you call out my name.  
Like a bird in a cage, spreading its wings to fly.  
‘The old ways are lost’, you sang as you flew  
And I wondered why.

The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you.  
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.

Make a promise, take a vow  
And trust your feelings, it’s easy now  
Understand the voice within  
And feel a change already beginning  
Oh, won’t you tell me again?  
Oh, can you feel it?  
Oh, won’t you tell me again tonight?

Jumping with shadows that come up from behind  
You’re scared of the darkness that’s there in your mind  
You’re frightened to move because of what you might find  
Someone is watching you  
He’s gonna get you.

Before you run and hide  
He’s gonna get you  
You got no choice  
'Cause you can’t escape the voice
