2. The Stranger5:10

   Letra

   Well, we all have a face that we hide away forever And we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone. Some are satin, some are steel, Some are silk and some are leather. They're the faces of a stranger, But we'd love to try them on. Well, we all fall in love, But we disregard the danger, Though we share so many secrets, There are some we never tell. Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger? Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself? Don't be afraid to try again. Everyone goes south every now and then. You've done it. Why can't someone else? You should know by now. You've been there yourself. Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer. Then I came home to a woman that I could not recognize. When I pressed her for a reason, She refused to even answer. It was then I felt the stranger kick me right between the eyes. Well, we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself. Don't be afraid to try again. Everyone goes south every now and then. You've done it. Why can't someone else? You should know by now. You've been there yourself. You may never understand how the stranger is inspired. But he isn't always evil and he is not always wrong. Though you drown in good intensions, You will never quench the fire. You'll give in to your desire when the stranger comes along.
3. Just the Way You Are4:50
   Vídeo Letra

   

   Don't go changing to try and please me You never let me down before 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 never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can 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 the heart I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are
4. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant7:37

   Letra

   A bottle of white, a bottle of red Perhaps a bottle of rose instead We'll get a table near the street In our old familiar place You and I,face to face A bottle of red, a bottle of white It all depends upon your appetite I'll meet you any time you want In our Italian Restaurant. Things are okay with me these days Got a good job, got a good office Got a new wife, got a new life And the family's fine We lost touch long ago You lost weight I did not know You could ever look so good after So much time. I remember those days hanging out At the village green Engineer boots, leather jackets And tight blue jeans Drop a dime in the box play the Song about New Orleans Cold beer, hot lights My sweet romantic teenage nights Brenda and Eddie were the Popular steadys And the king and the queen Of the prom Riding around with the car top Down and the radio on. Nobody looked any finer Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner We never knew we could want more Than that out of life Surely Brenda and Eddie would Always know how to survive. Brenda and Eddy were still going Steady in the summer of '75 When they decided the marriage would Be at the end of July Everyone said they were crazy "Brenda you know you're much too lazy Eddie could never afford to live that Kind of life." But there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye. They got an apartment with deep Pile carpet And a couple of paintings from Sears A big waterbed that they bought With the bread They had saved for a couple Of years They started to fight when the Money got tight And they just didn't count on The tears. They lived for a while in a Very nice style But it's always the same in the end They got a divorce as a matter Of course And they parted the closest Of friends Then the king and the queen went Back to the green But you can never go back There again. Brenda and Eddie had had it Already by the summer of '75 From the high to the low to The end of the show For the rest of their lives They couldn't go back to The greasers The best they could do was Pick up the pieces We always knew they would both Find a way to get by That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie Can't tell you more than I Told you already And here we are wavin' Brenda And Eddie goodbye. A bottle of red, a bottle of white Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight I'll meet you anytime you want In our Italian Restaurant.
5. Vienna3:34

   Letra

   Slow down, you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart, then tell me Why are you still so afraid? Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You'd better cool it off before you burn it out You've got so much to do And only so many hours in a day But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you get old You're gonna kick off before you even Get halfway through When will you realize, Vienna waits for you Slow down, you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be Before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight Tonight, Too bad but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong, you know You can't always see when you're right. you're right You've got your passion, you've got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you crazy child And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get half through Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
6. Only the Good Die Young3:55

   Letra

   Come out Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Aw but sooner or later it comes down to faith Oh I might as well be the one Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done Only the good die young That's what I said Only the good die young Only the good die young You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud We might be laughing a bit too loud Aw but that never hurt no one So come on Virginia show me a sign Send up a signal, I'll throw you a line The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind (You know) Never lets in the sun Darlin' only the good die young Woah I tell ya Only the good die young Only the good die young You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation You got a brand new soul Mmm, and a cross of gold But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information You didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary (Oh woah woah) They say there's a heaven for those who will wait Some say it's better but I say it ain't I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints The sinners are much more fun You know that only the good die young That's what I said I tell ya Only the good die young Only the good die young Well your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation Aw she never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh woah woah Come out come out come out Virginia don't let 'em wait, You Catholic girls start much too late Oh sooner or later it comes down to faith Oh I might as well be the one, You know that only the good die young I'm telling you baby You know that only the good die young Only the good die young Only the good Only the good die young Only the good Only the good die young
7. She's Always a Woman3:21
8. Get It Right the First Time3:57

   Letra

   I don't believe in first impressions But just this once I hope that looks don't deceive I ain't got time for true confessions I've got to make the move right now Got to meet that girl somehow I've gotta get it right the first time That's the main thing, oohh oohh I can't afford to let it pass You get it right the next time that's not the same thing, ooh ooh Gonna have to make the first time last La, la, la, la, la (Repeat) I'm not much good at conversation I was never too smooth at comin' on real strong If all it takes is inspiration Then I might have just what it takes If I don't make no bad mistakes and I get it right the first time That's the main thing Can't afford to let it pass You get it right the next time that's not the same thing Have to make the first time last La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Repeat) I might find the courage, yeah I might get up the nerve But if my timing ain't just right What purpose would it serve? I don't know, I don't know I don't know how to say those first few words If I want to put myself in touch The first few moments mean so much So I suppose it's now or never Before that woman walks right out of my life Just let me pull myself together I've got to give it one good try Gotta take my chance tonight I've gotta get it right the first time That's the main thing I can't afford to let it pass You get it right the next time it's not the same thing Gonna have to make the first time last La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Repeat)
9. Everybody Has a Dream9:08

   Letra

   While in these days of quiet desperation As I wander through the world in which I live I search everywhere, for some new inspiration But it's more than cold reality can give If I need a cause for celebration Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind I rely on my imagination And I dream of an imaginary time [Chorus: ] I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone...with you If I believe in all the words I'm saying And if a word from you can bring a better day Then all I have are these games that I've been playing To keep my hope from crumbling away So let me lie and let me go on sleeping And I will lose myself in palaces of sand And all the fantasies that I have been keeping Will make the empty hours easier to stand [Chorus: ] Everybody has a dream... (Repeat)
