1. Evil Women
2. Boy Blue

   Letra

   Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all the noise. It's for you, all the town's waiting there. Let us go, there's a show like you ain't seen before. Welcome home, where you been all these years. Look around, all the crowd is in tears. It's so good to see you in the streets of your town. CHORUS Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. I've see bold knights, dropping down like flies. I've see kings, rolling in the mire, I've seen God, point the finger of doom to our foes. I have fought in the holiest wars, I have smashed, some of the holiest jaws. I've been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world. One thing, I have learned through these years, Is that no man, should be stricken with fear. It should be that he walks with no care in the world. So my friends, who are gathered today, Hear this clear, for I'll not further say, That no man, shall cause me to take up arms again. CHORUS
3. Telephone Line

   Letra

   Hello, how are you? Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights? That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything If you'd pick up that telephone Hey, how you feelin'? Are you still the same? Don't you realize the things we did Were all for real, not a dream I just can't believe They've all faded out of view I look into the sky (The love you need ain't gonna see you through) And I wonder why (The little things are finally coming true) Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight OK, so no one's answering Well can't you just let it ring a little longer? I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night Let it ring for evermore I look into the sky (The love you need ain't gonna see you through) And I wonder why (The little things are finally coming true) Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
4. Rockaria!

   Letra

   Just got back from the downtown palais Where the music was so sweet It knocked me right back in the alley I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready And I'm really gonna rock tonight. Sweet little lady sings like a songbird And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard, But she ain't ready, No, no, no, she ain't ready No, no, no, she ain't ready, And she ain't gonna rock & roll CHORUS She's sweet on Wagner, I think she'd die for Beethoven, She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune, And Verdi's always creeping from her room Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose, Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready I wanna show you how to rock and roll. Now listen here baby she, said to me Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three, 'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready, I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues. CHORUS -- repeat Far, far away the music is playing. Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night, Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light, And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes. And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues, And as the night grew older everybody was as one, The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure, I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure, But it's alright.
5. Don't Bring Me Down
6. Ma-Ma-Ma Belle

   Letra

   Got love, if that's what you need I got three or four babies sittin' on my knee I got love waitin' for you I come sneakin' round the corner of the avenue You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you There's one thing that's on my mind And that's getting hold of you before I serve my time I'll keep on, with my heavy load Till I see you come a strollin' down that open road You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you I love you Ma-Ma-Ma Belle That's why I want to get it all well I'm sure you can tell I got, good soul, runnin' so deep Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep Can't you hear me once Ma-Ma-Ma Belle You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you
7. Can't Get It Out of My Head
8. Bluebird

   Letra

   The streets, the signs are pointing all one way But you don't realize just what they say You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done It makes me feel so sad to think what I might've had I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone But it's only make believe You work, you work, you work so hard and then Someone, someone will come around again You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel The places that I go don't feel good anymore I see it all rainbows in fall I see her face upon my wall But it's only make believe Fly away, bluebird fly away for me To a place somewhere far across the sea Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today The waves that crash upon the sand Another place, a far off land And every day, I have to stay, but you are free You could fly away- But it's only make believe
9. Birmingham Blues

   Letra

   Working on the road across this great big world I've been rolling like a stone, I never get back home Yes, I've been long-gone And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues. Been across the ocean to the south sea isles Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles And I've been long-gone And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues. CHORUS: Across the world I've seen People and places Could be the same But with a different name. I wouldn't change the things I do for anything But I'd just like to hear the message of the streets again Give me a ticket Cause boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues. It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet Industrial Revolution put it on its feet But it's a long, long way Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues. REPEAT CHORUS I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet They'll say "You won't stay long, you got them travelling feet You'll soon be long-gone 'Cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!" REPEAT CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS
10. Loser Gone Wild

    Letra

    I don't mind the pain, or the jokers' cold refrain The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon Lie awake for fear of strangers Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the night Empty rooms and chilling smiles They go on for miles and miles Chorus: But in the evening when the sun goes down Crawl from the shadows got to get into town Where the music is playin' all across the night And every cloud disappears from sight There goes a loser, another loser gone There goes another, another who's alone There goes a loser, another loser gone wild I don't mind if violins don't play I won't listen to them anyway I don't care what people say Some things just can't be arranged Icy fingers touching you. Silent voices calling too What else is there to lose- I am here but where are you? Chorus
