3. Land Ho

   Letra

   Dreaming nothing to do Dreaming nothing to say Can I say there's nothing to dream about But something keep us moving away? I said, "Land ho, will I be sailing forever? Oh, oh, I need some wind to take me to my goal Land ho, will I be giving forever? Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul" Wind is all far I can see When I'm feeling to strife For there's something that's calling me Oh, something that's so hard to find I said, "Land ho, will I be sailing forever? Oh, oh, I guess, I'll feel my ship is getting old Land ho, will I be dreaming forever? Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul" I said, "When you're alone there's not a sail in sight There's a great sky and you may just try to take a life Oh well, there once was a lady made me feel alright But she couldn't stay, she just sailed away Now this only waves to see me through the night" Maybe I'll always be sad And maybe there'll always be strife Drifting alone with a saddened tone Afloat in the ocean of life I said, "Land ho, you're sailing ship on forever? Oh, oh, I need some wind to take me to my goal Land ho, will I be searching forever? Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul" Will I be sailing forever? Will I be dreaming forever? Will I be searching forever? Forever, forever, forever Forever, forever, forever
4. Summer Romance

   Letra

   In the middle of our summer romance He walked up to her and he asked her to dance I could see the old love light in her eyes See the love light in her eyes It took a while to say, how's your new love, babe? My heart was beating with a rage like thunder And when I saw him, I began to wonder I could see the old love light in his eyes See the love light in his eyes It took a while to say, how's your new love, babe? How's your new love, babe? Well, in the middle of our summer romance He walked up to her, he said, 'Please, give me another chance' I could see the old love light in her eyes See the love light in her eyes It took a while to say, how's your new love, babe? Yes, it did, it did, it did It took a while to say, how's your new love, babe? Took a while to say, how's your new love, babe?
5. School

   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

8. Rudy

   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
9. Crime Of The Century

   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
10. Sister Moonshine

    Letra

    Ooo when I was a small boy, Well, I could see the magic in a day, But, now I'm just a poor boy, Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay, If you lock your dreams away If no-one wants to listen. What's the story, I wish I'd been a minstrel, Just think of all the maidens I could call, Oh-I wish I'd been a gypsy, Then maybe I could read the crystal ball, Cause surrounded by these walls, Just makes me feel uneasy. I said hey, Sister Moonshine Won't you send me a little sun I said hey, Sister Moonshine Who's a stranger to everyone. So, -MAKE US ALL LAUGH- Make us all cry -MAKE US ALL GIVE- Make us all try Give us a secret, show us the light, Well, strike up the music, light up the sky. Mmm-If I was a lion, Well, I could be the king off all the plains, Mmm-If is was an eagle, Well, maybe I could fly above the rains, Oh, fly above the pain But, I know I'm only foolin' I said hey, Sister Moonshine, Won't you send me a little sun, I said hey, Sister Moonshine, Who's a stranger to everyone. So, -MAKE US ALL LAUGH- Make us all cry, -MAKE US ALL GIVE- Make us all cry, I said hey, Sister Moonshine I said hey, Sister Moonshine, I said hey, said hey I said hey, I said hey Sister Moonshine

15. Downstream

    Letra

    Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea It just felt so nice, you and me We didn't have a problem or a care And all around was silence, everywhere You are the reason I was born Be with you through all seasons I'll always hear you when you call We'll keep the love light shining Through each night and day A lonely life behind me Oh what a change you've made So down here on the ocean we will stay Went through a lot of changes Turned a lot of pages When I took a boat Sunday To know you as I know you now That is all I need And we will get along somehow If we both believe So down here on the ocean we will stay Went through a lot of changes Turned a lot of pages When I took a boat Sunday
16. Even In The Quietest Moments

    Letra

    Even in the quietest moments I wish I knew what I had to do And even though the sun is shining Well I feel the rain, here it comes again, dear And even when you showed me My heart was out of tune For there's a shadow of doubt that's not letting me find you too soon The music that you gave me The language of my soul Oh Lord, I want to be with you. Won't you let me come in from the cold? Don't you let the sun fade away Don't you let the sun fade away Don't you let the sun be leaving Won't you come to me soon And even though the stars are listening And the ocean's deep, I just go to sleep And then I create a silent movie You become the star, is that what you are, dear? Your whisper tells a secret Your laughter brings me joy And a wonder of feeling I'm nature's own little boy But still the tears keep falling They're raining from the sky Well there's a lot of me got to go under before I get high Don't you let the sun disappear Don't you let the sun disappear Don't you let the sun be leaving No, you can't be leaving my life Say that you won't be leaving my life Say that you won't be leaving my life Say won't you please, stay won't you please Say won't you please, stay won't you please Lord, won't you come and get into my life Lord, won't you come and get into my life Say won't you please, stay won't you please Say won't you please, stay won't you please Oh Lord, don't go And even when the song is over Where have I been, was it just a dream? And though your door is always open Where do I begin, may I please come in, dear?
17. From Now On

    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

Disco 2

1. Gone Hollywood

   Letra

   It's just heartbreaking I should have known that it would let me down It's just a mind aching I used to dream about this town It was a sight to see, the place to be Where the living is easy And the kicks can always be found It's such a shame about it I used to think that it would feel so good But who's to blame about it So many creeps in Hollywood I'm in this dumb motel near the Taco Bell Without a hope in hell, I can't believe that I'm still around Ain't nothing new in my life today Ain't nothing true it's all gone away I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief I'm tired of talking on the telephone They're trying to tell me that they're not at home Ain't nothing new in my life today I'm tired of walking from place to place I've yet to come across a friendly face And now the words sound familiar, as them slam the door 'You're not what we're looking for! Ain't nothing new in my life today Ain't nothing true it's all gone away If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you It was a heartbreaking Now I ride in the big fine car It was mind aching I'm the talk of the boulevard So keep your chin up boy, forget the pain I know you'll make it if you try again There's no use in quitting When the world is waiting for you
2. The Logical Song

   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.
3. Goodbye Stranger

   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?

6. Take The Long Way Home

   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...

   When you're in heaven What you gonna do? You're gonna sit around a cloud and say "Hey, what a lovely view" Is there a reason, why you're like you are? Is there a reason you'll be leaving? Is my love out of season? I wouldn't mind but to me that is Treason You started laughing When I held you in my arms You started leaving When I told you of my charms I was in love with you and then you said, we're through And then I said, "Boo hoo" Was my tie not on straight? Was it something I ate?

    Letra

    You win, I lose I beg, you choose You're so cool and I'm confused I'm me and you're you You're so loose and I'm uptight You're day, I'm night Like two ships in the night in foggy weather, Just a waitin' for fresh winds to blow. Maybe we're losin' one another I could be wrong I don't know You get the best, I get the rest You pass the test, I'm just a mess You got it made, I'm in the shade Like two ships in the night Like two dopes in the boat, without a paddle Just a wonderin' why it don't go We could be losin' one another I could be wrong I don't know I know you're tryin' to phase me It's gonna drive me crazy I can't wait for the day when I win, You lose You beg and I choose You're in the shade, I'm on parade Like two ships in the night
