(Marc Jordan, John Capek)

Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere someway
where they're downing only deer
a hundred steel towns away

Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness
light it up, light it up
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby
Oh baby

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing

Oh I've got lightning in my veins
shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
no expression on my face

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

The rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

(R. Stewart, J. Golub, C. Kentis, C. Rojas)

I picked her up about a quarter to nine
My brother told me I was wasting my time
A woman like that'll only cause you confusion
but go ahead you may find it amusing
She came to the door wearing a suit and tie
her hair cropped short I couldn't figure out why

Rebel heart don't be a loner
Rebel heart I'm your lover
Rebel heart I wanna discover
where you from and where you belong
and everything that turns you on

I wanted to dance but she flatly refused
I told her jokes but she was not amused
Tried to kiss her but she wouldn't stand still
Started thinking this was overkill
Next thing I know I was flyin' for cover
it was her steady girlfriend and a live-in lover

Rebel heart why don't you try it
Rebel heart you can't deny it
Rebel heart you may like it
I'll change your mind if you'll give me time
about everything that's on your mind

I stayed awake all last night fantasizing about you baby
You know I'd walk a million miles across broken glass
or a red hot Arabian desert
if I could just have one night in your long brass bed

Evening wound up on a very sad note
I drove her home and then she went for my throat
She said, "it's fairly obvious I ain't attracted to you
You bore me to tears honest you do
And by the way I can't stand your British"
I said, "don't start something, honey, you know you can't finish"

Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart I'm glad I met ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
where you're from and where you belong
and everything that turns you on

You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me I knew that it had to be

I'd lift you up with my own arms honey
I can't get enough
I'd walk down Fifth Avenue entirely naked
I promise I won't drink, swear, womanize
I'd go to church every Sunday
for just one night with you

Rebel heart I'm your lover
Rebel heart I wanna discover
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart I'm glad I met ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
Oh yeah oh yeah
Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
Oh yeah oh yeah

(Robbie Robertson)

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around

Do you feel what I feel
Can we make it so that's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line this time

I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign this time

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around, around

Do you feel what I feel
Do you feel what I feel
Ah can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind

I want to come when you call
I'll get to you if I have to crawl
They can't hold me with these iron walls
We got mountains to climb, to climb

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around

(Sylvia Moy, William Stevenson)

One can have a dream baby
Two can make a dream so real
One can talk about being in love
Two can see how it really feels

One can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make a light shine through

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

One can have a broken heart living in misery
Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a bar like an island he's all alone
Two can make just any place seem just like bein' at home

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
just me and you
You know it takes two

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

One can go out to a movie looking for a special treat
Two can make that single movie something really kind of neat
And one can take a walk in the moonlight thinking that it's really nice
But two lovers walking hand in hand is like adding just a pinch of spice

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two
It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

(R. Stewart, C. Kentis, J. Golub, C. Rojas)

He wakes up in the morning like a newborn baby
The message on the machine says "you're driving me crazy"
His feet don't touch the ground
he can hardly wait to see her tonight
Now every new song on the radio reminds him of her
He says hello to strangers and he's singing in the shower
The sign in his eyes says this guy's got a problem so nice so nice
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream

When a man's in love when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
He's early on the job and all his friends begin to sense
his attitude has changed he's serene and contented
His feet don't touch the ground he can hardly wait to see her tonight
And he calls her on the telephone about a dozen times an hour
She's flattered by the avalanche of attention and flowers
He tells all his buddies "Boys, I've finally found someone for me"
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream

When a man's in love, when a man's in love
ain't nothin' too hard or too tough when a man's in love
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love

When a man's in love

She dominates his every thought and dream and conversation
He talks about her constantly with an air of jubilation
There ain't nothin' in the world he wouldn't do to make her little face smile
But oh don't it make you want to smile and dance
May God bless us all with a little romance

When a man's in love, when a man's in love
she's in his heart and running through his blood
when a man's in love

When a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger, fly like a dove
when a man's in love
when a man's in love
There ain't nothing he can't do
when a man's in love
when a man's in love

. . .


(Thom Bell, Linda Creed)

Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
She walked like you do I thought it was you
As she turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed but it wasn't you, wasn't you

You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
Oh you are everything and everything is you

How can I forget when each face that I see
brings back memories of being with you
I just can't go on livin' life as I do
comparing each girl to you
knowing they just won't do, they're not you

You are everything
Everything is you
You're everything to me girl
I miss you baby
Everything is you

You are everything
Every little thing
You're all I've got
Girl, you're everything to me
You are everything and everything is you
Everything to me

. . .


(Larry John McNally)

Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
on the roof and listen to the Miracles
echo to the alley down below

Let's dance together just for the night
Let's don't worry about the future or nothin' else
'Cause just like the music's sayin' you gotta take chances
Go ahead just do it and trust yourself

There’s a soul in the city
watching over us tonight
There's a soul in the city
saying everything's gonna be all right

So bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
on the roof and listen to the Miracles
echo to the alley down below

They wish us luck
but they think we're just dreaming
Let's prove them wrong baby
'Cause you know what luck is
luck is believing you're lucky
that's all and showing just a little bit of faith

There's a soul in the city
watching over us I swear
There's a soul in the city
there's a whole world waiting out there

Listen
I got plans for us
playing like a skip on a record
through my head all night long
But when we walk that darkened stairway
and step out on the roof
I know what we're feeling can't be wrong

Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
on the roof and listen to the Miracles
echo to the alley down below

Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
on the roof and listen to the Miracles
echo to the alley down below
"Let the Temptations sing it one time"
Bring over some of you old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
on the roof and listen to the Miracles
echo to the alley down below

(R. Stewart, J. Golub, C. Kentis)

Sometimes I wonder
what this old world's comin' to
where it's all gonna end
'Cause I work all week
try'n' to save me a dollar
but I get further in debt
But now on in
I'm gonna spend time lovin'
find a baby sitter right now
Put on your red dress
high heels darlin'
tonight we're going up town

We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away

I know a funny little place
down on main street baby
where the band will play all night long
They play some hot rock 'n' roll to fine syncopation
and a brother on the saxophone
We got one chance baby
gotta be now or never
Yeah I know as I'm broke
We're gonna make this weekend last forever
come on honey put on your coat

We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away

I've been lovin' you for seven years I won't forget
and I know it's been hard sometimes
open up the wine let's pretend we just met

We'll get home in the morning
while the milk man's calling
and the early birds start to sing
I will roll you some breakfast
and we'll jump into bed
and we'll start all over again
So hang on tight baby
we'll go flyin'
give your man a big kiss
We're gonna boogie on down
from the Bronx to Manhattan
memories are made of this

We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
Chase our blues away

Dancin'
We're goin' out dancin'
It may be the Bossanova
It may be the twist
It may be the Watusi
It may be the Chachacha

Just as long as we're dancin'
come on baby dancin
Take away our blues tonight
take away my blues tonight
Just as long as we're dancin'
dancin', dancin', dancin'

. . .


(R. Stewart, J. Creagan, K. Savigar)

A friend of mine called up said "I finally had some luck
Could I have a minute of your time
I met a girl last night and try as I might
I can't get her off of my mind
She walked through the room and right then I knew
I finally found somebody for me
But to tell you the truth I don't know what to do
should I go ahead or wait and see"

I said "Give it all you got no holding back
Let a light in your soul
Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all
than to never love at all"

Now I'm the kind of guy who's normally quite shy
On romance I don't know a thing
But when she led me to the floor I'd never danced before
Suddenly my feet had wings
I know that she wants me I want her too
but I'm so confused I can't think straight
I feel so alive but on the other side
should I go ahead or should I wait

I said "Give it all you got no holding back
Let a light in your soul
Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all
Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all
than to never love at all"

So when the music starts to flow from your hearts
like the coming of an early spring
when the river starts to flow between you soul to soul
may no man ever come between
Die in her arms if she wants you to
Be thankful for each passing day
When your eyes collide let your spirits fly
and pray to God it's here to stay

And I said "Give it all you got no holding back
Let a light in your soul
Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all"

Give it all you got no holding back
Let a light in your soul
Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all
than to never love at all
than to never, never love at all
Ain't it better to lose in love than never love at all

. . .


(Van Morrison)

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do

For the morning sun in all it's glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you make it better
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one

And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do

(R. Stewart, C. Kentis, J. Golub, C. Rojas)

Here is a story that is bound to amuse ya
(about a fine young couple startin' out in life)
A dedicated husband and a real fine worker
(who lived for his children and his beautiful wife)
But one night in Dallas at a computer convention
(he got so loaded he could hardly stand)
Woke up with a heavy head and a strange girl beside him
(returned home a worried guilty man)
But inside his coat his wife found a note
It said "Thanks for the good time Can I see you again"
She asked him "Why oh why" Tears rollin' down her eyes
"would you give it all up for a moment of glory" glory

Packed up all her bags and returned to her mother
(Two small children clinging to her dress)
Hurt and disillusioned but never down hearted
(she picked up the pieces of her broken life)
And meanwhile back in Boston the culprit lie thinkin'
(trying to find the answer in a bottle of wine)
Fired from his job and missing his children
(he didn't care one way if he lived or died)
Oh what a crying shame nobody else to blame
for one night of pleasure he had given her pain
Oh how it was so hard to climb so far to give it all up
for a moment of glory, glory

As the months rolled by and accusations fly
the bloodsuckin' lawyers know they're in for a kill
The gold war begins she's takin' off her rings
Close friends take sides while the waters are still

Phone rang twice in his stone cold appartment
(it was his little boy Johnny and his sister Beth)
They said "Daddy we miss you would you talk to Mommy"
(a line of communication he had sadly missed)
She said "Now don't get me wrong this is where you belong"
I said "Good-bye children we can work it all out"
"But don't you ever forget how this family has bled
'cause you give it all up for a moment of glory" glory

Won't you give it all up
you give it all up
Won't you give it all up
you give it all up

. . .


(Tom Waits)

Outside another yellow moon
has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
On a downtown train

I know your window and I know its late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way
and watch them as they fall, oh baby
They all having their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

. . .


(R. Stewart, K. Savigar, J. Cregan)

If only I'd have listened to all of my closest friends
and knew that it was over and the party had to end
If only I'd have noticed the sadness in her eyes
she'd still be in my arms tonight, if only

If only I'd have realized the unimportance of being cool
to give a kiss and maybe just say "Darlin' I love you"
If only I'd said I'm sorry I'd have been a much better man
she'd still be in my arms tonight, if only

There's an emptiness that fills my heart now that she's not here
I loved her more than my own life something I've always feared, if only

If only I'd come home at night instead of stayin' out for one more drink
If only I'd been unconcerned what the other guys may think
If only I'd a held her tight but I guess it's too late now
Oh how blind could one man be, if only

Whoa oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we've had
You live some and you learn some, if only

If only I could convince her the importance of one more chance
If only God would allow me one more celestial dance
If only I had the nerve to call her up and tell her how I feel
She'd still be in my arms tonight, if only

But it's only love and love ain't real it's only a four letter word
We spend half our lives chasing after it how wonderf 'lly absurd, if only

Whoa whoa but I will not be sad after all the fun we had
You live some and you learn some
Whoa but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had
You live some and you learn some, you learn some
If only
