Super Trouper
|

Super Trouper Beams are gonna blind me But I won't feel blue Like I always do 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you I was sick and tired of everything When I called you last night from Glasgow All I do is eat and sleep and sing Wishing every show was the last show So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming Suddenly I feel all right And it's gonna be so different When I'm on the stage tonight Tonight the Super Trouper Lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun Smiling, having fun Feeling like a number one Tonight the Super Trouper Beams are gonna blind me But I won't feel blue Like I always do 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you Facing twenty thousand of your friends How can anyone be so lonely Part of a success that never ends Still I'm thinking about you only There are moments when I think I'm going crazy But it's gonna be alright Everything will be so different When I'm on the stage tonight Tonight the Super Trouper Lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun Smiling, having fun Feeling like a number one Tonight the Super Trouper Beams are gonna blind me But I won't feel blue Like I always do 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you So I'll be there, when you arrive The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive And when you take me in your arms and hold me tight I know it's gonna mean so much tonight Tonight the Super Trouper Lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun Smiling, having fun Feeling like a number one Tonight the Super Trouper Beams are gonna blind me But I won't feel blue Like I always do 'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you |

The Winner Takes It All
|
|
I don't wanna talk about the things we've gone through Though it's hurting me, now it's history I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too Nothing more to say, no more ace to play The winner takes it all, the loser standing small Beside the victory that's her destiny I was in your arms, thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense, building me a fence Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here loses someone dear The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain, why should I complain But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you Does it feel the same, when she calls your name Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you But what can I say, rules must be obeyed The judges will decide, the likes of me abide Spectators of the show always staying low The game is on again, a lover or a friend A big thing or a small, the winner takes it all I don't wanna talk, if it makes you feel sad And I understand, you've come to shake my hand I apologize, if it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all |

On and On and On

I was at a party and this feller said to me "Something bad is happening I'm sure you do agree People care for nothing, no respect for human rights Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights" I said "who are you to talk about impending doom" He got kinda wary as he looked around the room He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state" I said "I just can't believe it, boy, I think it's great Brother, can you tell me what is right and what is wrong" He said, "keep on rocking, baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on keep on rocking, baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone Over in the corner I could see this other guy He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me He said, "who am I and who are you and who are we What's our situation, do we have some time for us" I said, "I was not exactly waiting for the bus" He said, "if you're going somewhere can I come along" I said, "keep on rocking, baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on keep on rocking, baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone |

Take it easy with me, please Touch me gently like a summer evening breeze Take your time, make it slow Andante, andante Just let the feeling grow Make your fingers soft and light Let your body be the velvet of the night Touch my soul, you know how Andante, andante Go slowly with me now I'm your music, I'm your song Play me time and time again and make me strong Make me sing, make me sound Sndante, andante Tread lightly on my ground Andante, andante Oh, please don't let me down There's a shimmer in your eyes Like the feeling of a thousand butterflies Please don't talk, go on, play Andante, andante And let me float away I'm your music, I'm your song Play me time and time again and make me strong Make me sing, make me sound Andante, andante Tread lightly on my ground Andante, andante Oh, please don't let me down |

Me and I
|
|
Sometimes when I'm mad there's a part of me that seems to be a little sad Sometimes when I scream there's a voice in me that says "you shouldn't be so mean" Oh no, oh no Part of me is acting while the other stands beside Yes, I am to myself what Jekyll must have been to Hyde We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes we're a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I I don't think I'm different or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute And you'll find the answer in it, everyone's a freak Sometimes I have toyed with ideas that I got from good old Dr Freud Nothing new of course, it may seem to you I try to break through open doors Oh no, oh no I just wanna say a lot of that applies to me 'Cause it's an explanation to my split identity We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes we're a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I I don't think I'm different or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute And you'll find the answer in it everyone's a freak |

Happy New Year
|
|
No more champagne and the fireworks are through Here we are, me and you, feeling lost and feeling blue It's the end of the party and the morning seems so grey So unlike yesterday, now's the time for us to say Happy new year, happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year, happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't, we might as well lay down and die You and I Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives And I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives Oh yes, man is a fool and he thinks he'll be okay Dragging on feet of clay never knowing he's astray Keeps on going anyway Happy new year, happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year, happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't, we might as well lay down and die You and I Seems to me now that the dreams we had before Are all dead, nothing more than confetti on the floor It's the end of a decade in another ten years time Who can say what we'll find, what lies waiting down the line In the end of eighty-nine Happy new year, happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year, happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't, we might as well lay down and die You and I |

Our Last Summer
|
|
The summer air was soft and warm, the feeling right The Paris night did its best to please us And strolling down the Elysee, we had a drink in each café And you, you talked of politics, philosophy And I smiled like Mona Lisa We had our chance, it was a fine and true romance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer, memories that remain We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met, it was the age of no regret Oh yes, those crazy years That was the time of the flower power But underneath we had a fear of flying Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying We took the chance, like we were dancing our last dance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam, 'round the Notre Dame Our last summer walking hand in hand Paris restaurants, our last summer Morning croissants Living for the day, worries far away Our last summer, we could laugh and play And now you're working in a bank, the family man A football fan, and your name is Harry How dull it seems, yet you're the hero of my dreams I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer, memories that remain I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam, 'round the Notre Dame Our last summer walking hand in hand |

The Piper
|
|
They came from the hills And they came from the valleys and the plains They struggled in the cold In the heat and the snow and in the rain Came to hear him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon Sub luna saltamus They came from the south From the west and the north and from the east They waited for the man Like a parish is waiting for the priest Longed to hear him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon Sub luna saltamus He gave them a dream He seduced everybody in the land The fire in his eyes And the fear was a weapon in his hand So they let him play Play their minds away We're all following a strange melody We're all summoned by a tune We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon We're following the piper And we dance beneath the moon for him And we dance beneath the moon |

Lay All Your Love on Me
|
|
I wasn't jealous before we met Now every woman I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned has overturned I beg of you Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me It was like shooting a sitting duck A little small talk, a smile and, baby, I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown-up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied, I skip my pride I beg you, dear Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce I used to think that was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible 'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned has overturned What can I do Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me |

The Way Old Friends Do
|
|
You and I can share the silence Finding comfort together The way old friends do And after fights and words of violence We make up with each other The way old friends do Times of joy and times of sorrow We will always see it through Oh, I don't care what comes tomorrow We can face it together The way old friends do |
