Eagle
|
|
They came flyin' from faraway now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell they've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons they speak strangely but I understand and I dream I'm an eagle and I dream I can spread my wings Flyin' high, high I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze high, high what a feeling to fly over mountains and forests and seas and to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything there's no limit to what I feel we climb higher and higher am I dreamin' or is it all real is it true I'm an eagle is it true I can spread my wings Flyin' high, high I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze high, high what a feeling to fly over mountains and forests and seas and to go anywhere that I please |

One Man, One Woman
|
|
No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table though I would have liked to begin so much that I wanna say, but I feel unable you leave and you slam the door like you've done many times before and I cry and I feel so helpless One man, one woman two friends and two true lovers somehow we'll help each other through the hard times one man, one woman one life to live together one chance to take that never comes back again you and me 'til the end Outside I can see the sun through the open window inside everything feels so cold what's wrong what is happening, where did all our love go sometimes when I just can't cope I cling to a desperate hope and I cry and I feel like dying One man, one woman two friends and two true lovers somehow we'll help each other through the hard times one man, one woman one life to live together one chance to take that never comes back again you and me 'til the end Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up - the sound of a key in the door you smile and I realise that we need a shake up our love is a precious thing worth the pain and the suffering and it's never too late for changing One man, one woman two friends and two true lovers somehow we'll help each other through the hard times one man, one woman one life to live together one chance to take that never comes back again you and me 'til the end |

The Name of the Game
|
|
I've seen you twice in a short time only a week since we started it seems to me for every time I'm getting more openhearted I was an impossible case no one ever could reach me but I think I can see in your face there's a lot you can teach me so I wanna know What's the name of the game does it mean anything to you what's the name of the game can you feel it the way I do Tell me please 'cause I have to know I'm a bashful child beginning to grow And you make me talk and you make me feel and you make me show what I'm trying to conceal if I trust in you would you let me down would you laugh at me If I said I care for you could you feel the same way too I wanna know the name of the game I have no friends no one to see and I am never invited now I am here talking to you no wonder I get excited Your smile and the sound of your voice and the way you see through me got a feeling you give me no choice but it means a lot to me so I wanna know What's the name of the game does it mean anything to you what's the name of the game can you feel it the way I do Tell me please 'cause I have to know I'm a bashful child beginning to grow And you make me talk and you make me feel and you make me show what I'm trying to conceal if I trust in you would you let me down would you laugh at me If I said I care for you could you feel the same way too I wanna know Oh yes I wanna know the name of the game |

Move On
|
|
They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul a voyager and a settler they both have a distant goal if I explore the heavens or if I search inside well - it really doesn't matter as long as I can tell myself I've always tried Like a roller in the ocean life is motion move on like a wind that's always blowing life is flowing move on like the sunrise in the morning life is dawning move on how I treasure every minute being part of it being in it with the urge to move on I've travelled every country I've travelled in my mind it seems we're on a journey a trip through space and time and somewhere lies the answer to all the questions why what really makes the difference between all dead and living things the will to stay alive Like a roller in the ocean life is motion move on like a wind that's always blowing life is flowing move on like the sunrise in the morning life is dawning move on how I treasure every minute being part of it being in it with the urge to move on The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea the crying of the seagulls that hover over me I see it and I hear it but how can I explain the wonder of the moment to be alive to feel the sun that follows every rain Like a roller in the ocean life is motion move on like a wind that's always blowing life is flowing move on like the sunrise in the morning life is dawning move on how I treasure every minute being part of it being in it with the urge to move on |

Hole in Your Soul
|
|
You feel bad let me tell you we all get the blues sometimes life is a burden way down in your shoes when it's bad, worse, worst and you think you're cursed well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose It's gotta be rock 'n roll to fill the hole in your soul there's gotta be rock 'n roll to fill the hole in your soul My friend Sam is a chauffeur Annie goes to school Jerry works at the office Sue lies by the pool but on all week-ends when I meet my friends and we're lookin' 'round for the action we sure play it cool It's gotta be rock 'n roll to fill the hole in your soul there's gotta be rock 'n roll to fill the hole in your soul Aha, you paint your world and use all colours aha, and then you find it all comes out too bright you know it's only a lie aha, the songs you sing are too romantic aha, and when you want the truth they only spit in your eye oh yeah, they're only tellin' you lies oh yeah, there's gotta be rock 'n roll to fill the hole in your soul You feel bad let me tell you we all get the blues sometimes life is a burden way down in your shoes when it's bad, worse, worst and you think you're cursed well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose It's gotta be rock 'n roll to fill the hole in your soul there's gotta be rock 'n roll to fill the hole in your soul |

I'm nothing special in fact I'm a bit of a bore if I tell a joke you've probably heard it before but I have a talent a wonderful thing 'cause everyone listens when I start to sing I'm so grateful and proud all I want is to sing it out loud so I say Thank you for the music the songs I'm singing thanks for all the joy they're bringing who can live without it I ask in all honesty what would life be without a song or a dance what are we so I say thank you for the music for giving it to me Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk she says I began to sing long before I could talk and I've often wondered how did it all start who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a melody can well, whoever it was, I'm a fan so I say Thank you for the music the songs I'm singing thanks for all the joy they're bringing who can live without it I ask in all honesty what would life be without a song or a dance what are we so I say thank you for the music for giving it to me I've been so lucky I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody what a joy, what a life, what a chance Thank you for the music the songs I'm singing thanks for all the joy they're bringing who can live without it I ask in all honesty what would life be without a song or a dance what are we so I say thank you for the music for giving it to me |

This park and these houses old streets I have walked everything dear will it be here one day when I am returning My friends will get married have children and homes it sounds so nice well-planned and wise never expecting surprises I wonder it's frightening leaving now is that the right thing I wonder it scares me but who the hell am I if I don't even try I'm not a coward oh no, I'll be strong one chance in a lifetime yes, I will take it it can't go wrong My friends and my family this dull little town buses I've missed boys that I've kissed everything old and familiar I wonder it's frightening leaving now is that the right thing I wonder it scares me but who the hell am I if I don't even try I'm not a coward oh no, I'll be strong one chance in a lifetime yes, I will take it yes, I will take it it can't go wrong |

You're so free that's what everybody's telling me yet I feel I'm like an outward bound pushed around refugee Something's wrong got a feeling that I don't belong as if I have come from out of space out of place, like King-Kong I'm a marionette just a marionette pull the string I'm a marionette everybody's pet just as long as I sing I'm a marionette see my pirouette 'round and 'round I'm a marionette I'm a marionette just a silly old clown Like a doll like a puppet with no will at all and somebody taught me how to talk how to walk, how to fall Can't complain I've got no one but myself to blame something's happening I can't control lost my hold, it's insane I'm a marionette just a marionette pull the string I'm a marionette everybody's pet just as long as I sing I'm a marionette see my pirouette 'round and 'round I'm a marionette I'm a marionette just a silly old clown Look this way just a little smile that's what they say you'll look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's OK!! I'm a marionette just a marionette pull the string I'm a marionette everybody's pet just as long as I sing I'm a marionette see my pirouette 'round and 'round I'm a marionette I'm a marionette just a silly old clown You're so free that's what everybody's telling me yet I feel I'm like an outward bound pushed around refugee |
