1. School5:35

   Letra

   I can see you in the morning when you go to school Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule, Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work And be like Johnnie-too-good, well don't you know he never shirks He's coming along.. After school is over you're playing in the park Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about And grow up just like them, won't you let it work it out And you're full of doubt Don't do this and don't do that What are they trying to do? Make a good boy of you Do they know where it's at? Don't criticize, they're old and wise Do as they tell you to Don't want the devil to Come out and put your eyes Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right But while I am still living, I've just got this to say It's always up to you if you want to be that Want to see that Want to see that way You're coming along
2. Goodbye Stranger4:25

   Letra

   It was an early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an anchor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again? Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again? Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again? Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell like And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again? Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again? Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again? Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again?
3. The Logical Song3:45

   Letra

   When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, Joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, Logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, Clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, The questions run too deep For such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, Liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! At night, when all the world's asleep, The questions run so deep For such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am.
4. Bloody Well Right4:16

   Letra

   So you think your schooling's phony I guess it's hard not to agree You say it all depends on money And who is in your family tree Right, you're bloody well right You know you got a right to say Right, you're bloody well right You know you got a right to say Ha-ha you're bloody well right You know you're right to say Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right You know you're right to say Me, I don't care anyway! Write your problems down in detail Take them to a higher place You've had your cry, no, I should say wail In the meantime hush your face Right, quite right, you're bloody well right Right, you're bloody well right You know you got a right to say Right, you're bloody well right You know you got a right to say
5. Breakfast In America2:37

   Letra

   Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend Never seem to get a lot Take a jumbo across the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do Could we have kippers for breakfast Mummy dear, Mummy dear They got to have 'em in Texas Cos everyone's a millionaire I'm a winner, I'm a sinner Do you want my autograph I'm a loser, what a joker I'm playing my jokes upon you While there's nothing better to do Don't you look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend Never seem to get a lot Take a jumbo cross the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do
6. Rudy7:18

   Letra

   Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line He don't want to get there, but he needs time He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time. He needs time - he needs time for livin', He needs time - for someone just to see him. He ain't haid no lovin' For no reason or rhyme And the whole world's above him. Well it's not as though he's fat- No there's more to this than that- See he tries to play it cool- Wouldn't be nobody fool. Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait But recently he could see that it may come too late. All through your life, all through the years Nobody loved, nobody cared. So dim the light, dark are your fears Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears How can you live without love, it's not fair? Someone said give but I just didn't dare. What good advice are you waiting to hear? Hearing's alright for them that's all there You'd better gain control now You'd better show 'em all now You'd better make or break now You'd better give and take now You'll have to push and shove now You'll have to find some love now You'd better gain control now. Now he's just come out the movie. Numb of all the pain, Sad but in a while he'll soon be Back on his train
7. Take The Long Way Home4:03

   Letra

   So you think you're a Romeo playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home 'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery All the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. When lonely days turn to lonely nights You take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, Oh unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, Oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow , boy. When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what you might have been, If you'd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home...
8. Crime Of The Century5:20

   Letra

   Now they're planning the crime of the century Well what will it be? Read all about their schemes and adventuring It's well worth a fee So roll up and see And they rape the universe How they've gone from bad to worse Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory? Rip off the masks and let see. But that's not right - oh no, what's the story? There's you and there's me Thank you for that

You know, well you know you had it comin' to you, Now there's not a lot I can do Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer; So now you put your head in your hands, oh no! I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!" You know, well you know you had it comin' to you, Now there's not a lot I can do. Well work it out someday If I could see something You can see anything you want boy If I could be someone You can be anyone, celebrate boy. If I could do something Well you can do something, If I could do anything Well can you do something out of this world? Take a dream on a Sunday Take a life, take a holiday Take a lie, take a dreamer dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no! I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no! Oh no!
10. Ain't Nobody But Me5:19
11. Hide In Your Shell6:52

    Letra

    Hide in your shell 'cause the world is out to bleed you for a ride What will you gain making your life a little longer? Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel? Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker Too frightening to listen to a stranger Too beautiful to put your pride in danger You're waiting for someone to understand you But you've got demons in your closet And you're screaming out to stop it Saying life's begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you scramble for Don't let the tears linger on inside now 'Cause it's sure time you gained control If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know Well, let me show you the nearest signpost To get your heart back and on the road If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know. All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tight What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you? I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes? Too frightening- the fire's getting colder Too beautiful- to think you're getting older You're looking for someone to give an answer. But what you see is just an illusion You're surrounded by confusion Saying life's begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for Don't let the tears Just let me know I want to know I want to know you Well let me know you I want to feel you I want to touch you Please let me near you Can you hear what I'm saying? Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin' I know what you're thinkin' See what you're seein' Never ever let yourself go Hold yourself down, hold yourself down Why d'ya hold yourself down? Why don't you listen, you can Trust me, There's a place I know the way to A place there is need to feel you Feel that you're alone Hear me I know exactly what you're feelin' 'Cause all your troubles are within you Please begin to see that I'm just bleeding to Love me, love you Loving is the way to Help me, help you Why must we be so cool, oh so cool,? Oh, we're such damn fools
12. From Now On6:10

    Letra

    Monday has come around again I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to stay Could be a hundred years Of sweat and tears At the rate that I get paid Sometimes I slowly drift away From all the dull routine That's with me every day A fantasy will come to me Diamonds are what I really need Think I'll rob a store, escape the law And live in Italy Lately my luck has been so bad You know the roulette wheel's A crooked deal I'm losing all I had Soon be like a man that's on the run And live from day to day Never needing anyone Play hide and seek Throughout the week My life is full of romance Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy That's the way it's got to be From now on You think I'm crazy I can see It's you for you, and me for me Living in a fantasy From now on
13. Give A Little Bit4:03

    Letra

    Give a little bit Give a little bit of your love to me Give a little bit I'll give a little bit of my love to you There's so much that we need to share Send a smile and show you care I'll give a little bit I'll give a little bit of my life for you So give a little bit Give a little bit of your time to me See the man with the lonely eyes Take his hand, you'll be surprised Give a little bit Give a little bit of your love to me I'll give a little bit of my life for you Now's the time that we need to share So find yourself, we're on our way back home Going home Don't you need to feel at home Oh yeah, we gotta sing
14. It's Raining Again4:25
15. Cannonball4:47

    Letra

    You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused You let me down, with all your runnin' round Still you pretend and try to call me friend Don't say a word, I know just what I heard Yeah you've been loose, you just got no excuse Just feel my rage, why can't you come of age? I felt it all, just like a cannonball Then you got mad, you said that I'm all bad So what's the use, you lied and that's the truth You took the key and drove right out on me I never knew put all my trust in you OK that's it, I'm leaving now, I quit I was unwise, so don't apologize I paid the price, for taking your advice I felt it all, just like a cannonball You can say what you want all day But I've never been so outraged I'm washing my hands of you How could you be so untrue You know I can't stand no more You know I can't stand no more
