Альбом Bay City Rollers

The clown came down to meet me
With a smile upon his face
He fired his starting pistol
And began the human race
There were faces all around me
They were running everywhere
But everywhere is nowhere
And nowhere isn't there

It's a game
a game
a game that we're playing
Well
I don't mind but I don't make the rules
It's a game
a game
a game that we're playing
Just a game for lovers and fools

There's snakes upon your ladder
And there's dice upon your skirt
There's lipstick on my collar
And there's sweat upon my shirt
The neighbours wiil start talking
But you know that I don't care
For the neighbours they are nowhere
And nowhere isn't there

It's a game
a game
a game that we're playing
. .

I believed all love has gone
I've no strength to carry on
Thought my world was upside down

Then you walked on to my life
Went to work to set things right
What's the secret that you use

[Chorus]
You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put magic into my life

Now I'm filled with new sense to be
You gave my life harmony
Loving you is all I need

[Chorus]

Yesterday when I was young
I played the game and never won
Thought rock and roll would bless
my soul forever.
Songs of love and ecstasy
Remind me how it used to be
I thought those days would never end
But now it seems I need a friend

I remember all those days gone by
I remember all their faces
The old familiar places

CHORUS
Don't let the music die,
No our song could last forever
Don't let the music die,
Don't let the music die
And though we've said goodbye,
We could spend our lives together,
So as time goes by
Don't let the music die

Yesterday, the world was mine
I played the clown and Pantomime
Or was it just a dream that's gone
forever
Echoed voices from the past
Recall the songs I thought would last
And say "Those times will never die"
And the love we share's the reason why

I remember all those days gone by
I remember all their faces,
The old familiar places

CHORUS
Don't let the music die,
No our song could last forever
Don't let the music die,
Don't let the music die
And though we've said goodbye,
We could spend our lives together,
So as time goes by
Don't let the music die

When we were young we had our time
And we would drink
sweet talking wine
but now that it's over
All the songs sound out of rhyme

CHORUS
Don't let the music die,
No our song could last forever
Don't let the music die,
Don't let the music die
And though we've said goodbye,
We could spend our lives together,
So as time goes by
Don't let the music die

When I walk down the street
Don't have to care about who I meet
Don't have to run, don't have to hide
'Cause I've got somethin' burning deep inside
Cause I've got love

CHORUS
Love power
And it's the greatest power of them all
Hey I've got love, love power
And I've this feeling I can conquer all

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes down
But my feet are always on the ground
And when I laugh, or when I cry
People I believe the reason why is I've got

Love power, love power, love power

Hey I've got

Love power, love power, love power, love power

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes down
but my feet are always on the ground
And when I laugh, or when I cry
People I believe the reason why is I've got

Turn the music way down low,
Let me see you in the glow.
In the fire light you are shining....
Though it's much too soon to know,
If this love I feel will grow.
Let's take tonight to start out finding....

'Cause the way I feel tonight,
Everything will be alright.
I will keep your candle burning.
Oh, yes, the way I feel tonight
Everything will be alright,
And the way I feel tonight,
I love you.

Close the door and turn the key,
Open up your heart to me.


I can see your love light glowing.
Let your body melt in mine,
Let us taste each other's wine.
'Til the cup is overflowing........

'Cause the way I feel tonight,
Everything will be alright.
I will keep your candle burning.
Oh, yes, the way I feel tonight
Everything will be alright,
And the way I feel tonight,
I love you.

Baby, I love you........
Baby, I love you.......

Some kind of evil woman is bringing me down now
She don't understand what I say
She thinks it's a crime now
She look like Egyptian queen, she drivin' me crazy
Come on like a Voodoo scene, Samara she take me

CHORUS
She give me love fever
She give me love fever
She give me love fever
Oh love fever

She play my mind in her hand, she snake in the grass now
Slippin' and a slidin' she snide she Amazon ass now
Weavin' a spell in my head
I'm tossin' and turnin'
Feel her comin' over my bed, the fever is burnin'

CHORUS
She give me love fever
She give me love fever
She give me love fever
Oh love fever

She shine like night into day she set me on fire
Satori light is her way, she Passe Messiah
She Haiku Zen with her style Kyoshi Meisetso
She fire fly in the dark, she make like a Geru

CHORUS
She give me love fever
She give me love fever
She give me love fever
Oh love fever

Headin' south on the Macon trail
Kickin' dust inside some county jail
Her mama said "Hey Jackie you be good"
'Cause she knew that she would be misunderstood.

*chorus*
Oh Sweet Virginia
No, you never knew her name
She tried to win ya
But you never played the game
Her name was Jackie Brown
She cried when they told her
Old sweet Virginia town
You know it's not over

The jokers laughed and cried
"Hey Jackie, what's your game"
I got the time you got the money she explained
but time was one thing now that Jackie couldn't spend
So she made it while she could right to the end

Turn the pages of a broken dream
Smiling faces, have they ever seen
Empty hallways? Will they ever end?
The fool again

Masquerading in a hyper dream
Fading shadows talk of their machine
Through the haze another cigarette
So much to say to forget

CHORUS
Inside a broken dream I cry
Is love the reason why?
Inside an empty room I'll stare
At love that is not there

Life begins with your head in the dark
The chord of life reveals the final spark
Takes you nowhere then nowhere takes you back again

Yea we've been strangers living in a wonderland
Seems you've been busy building castles in the sand
I heard the word you said inside my loving bed
And I've seen the scars I left inside your loving head
Oh, Oh, let it be
Inside my head I'm not the one you see

I gotta dance, dance, dance
Gotta get on up, gotta get on down
Dance, dance, dance
Gotta make 'em laugh, gotta make 'em frown
Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance, dance
And if you think you can make it just remember to beware
That all in love is fair

The situation vacant now has got the blues
The obituary column's making front page news
Infatuation's got the better of you
And if you wanna know then what you gotta do
Is oh, oh save your soul
Inside my head I'm not the one you know

I gotta dance, dance, dance
Gotta get on up, gotta get on down
Dance, dance, dance
Gotta make 'em laugh, gotta make 'em frown
Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance, dance
And if you think you can make it just remember to beware

Oh, oh, save your soul
Inside my head I'm not the one you know

I gotta dance, dance, dance
Gotta get on up, gotta get on down
Dance, dance, dance
Gotta make 'em laugh, gotta make 'em frown
Dance, dance, dance,
Dance, dance, dance
And if you think you can make it just remember to beware
That all in love is fair

Got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe your hair's alright
Hey babe let's go (stay) out tonight
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You sexy thing, you put them on

Rebel rebel put on your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel how could they know
Hot tramp I love you so

You like me and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they play it hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You sexy thing, you put them on

Rebel rebel, put on your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
rebel rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp, I love you so

*repeat chorus*

Rebel rebel, put on your dress
Rebel rebel,your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp I love you so

Put on your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough but enough ain't the test
Transmission and live wire
You try a vibration and a handful of loot
You want a DJ when they count up the dudes

And I love your dress
Your a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
