You Win, I Lose

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 ...

Ships

(ian hunter)
We walked to the sea, just my father and me
And the dogs played around on the sand.
Winter cold cut the air, hanging still everywhere
Dressed in gray did he say hold my hand?
I said loves easier when its far away
We sat and watched the distant lights.
Were two ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say its alright.
Were still here, its just that were out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night.
Theres a boat on the line where the sea meets the sky.
Theres another that rides far behind.
And it seems you and I are like strangers a wide
Ways apart as we drift on through time.
He said its harder now youre far away
We only read you when you write.
Were two ships that pass in the night
We both smile when we say its alright.
Were still here, oh its just that were out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night.
Were two ships that pass in the night
Were two ships that pass in the night
Were two ships that pass in the night
(repeat and fade)

I See No Ships

It's been a beautiful day
Can't wait for tomorrow to come
Don't see the problem
We're riding a number one
It just gets easier
It just gets better and better
[Chorus:]
I see no ships
I see no ships
Oh the distractions
On a night like this
Which do you want
Choose one from the list
Are you gonna push the buttons?
Do you know who's lookin out?
[Chorus]
Watcha don't know
It can't hurt you
Do these wonders
They won't vouch for you
[Chorus]
Your really a front
Everything you do hits
The crowd has gathered
And standing at your hips
Don't need no credentials
Or maybe your invincible
[Chorus]
Watcha don't know
It can't hurt you
Endless wonders
Won't defend you
[Chorus]

Grey Lady Of The Sea

(lebon)
Youve whispered out loud
But your breeze doesnt bend
Were lying in the palm of your hand
No land we see, no place to be
The salt of your tears, adds stain to our hearts
Theres no long years can tear us apart
Our futures entwined with your past
Because when we lie awake
Well be thinking of you
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
Bravado is all but gone
And patience is down
You scared us and youve turned us around
But you wont let us drown
Because when we lie asleep
Well be dreaming of you
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
So answer us when we call
And say if you think were old
When life is so short we can stay long
But youll never be alone
Because one day well return
Well be waiting for you
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home

Party All Night

Hang loose
Party
Got my head to the grindstone
I'm trying to act like a fool
My head is a lampshade
They can't find me at school
Well I'm an animal
Yes I'm a cannonball
They say I'm out for blood
One thing I wanna do is
Party all night (Oh-oh!)
Party all night (Oh-oh-oh!)
Party all night (Yeah!)
All night long
Driving right way on the wrong side
A bit too much to drink
Women in the backseat
And they don't know what to think
They say I've lost my head
You'll probably end up dead
But they're too blind to see
What's a party to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Is to party all night (Oh-oh!)
Let's party all night (Oh-oh-oh!)
Party all night (Yeah!)
All night long
Uh!
Let's have a good time, good time
C'mon
Everybody's parties
I'm on a one way cruise
Lookin' for trouble
We got nothing to lose
They're on the telephone
They're trying to send me home
We're gonna pull the plug
We've got a new kind of school
Let's party all night
Let's party all night
Party all night
Let's party all night
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Let's party all night (Oh!)
(We're party animals, baby)
Let's party all night (Oh-oh-oh!)

Let's party all night
All night long, yeah!

Hard Time Losin' Man

Jim Croce
Hard Time Losin' Man
Written by - Jim Croce
From - You Don't Mess Around With Jim
Chorus:
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man ah ha
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy
And sometimes skies are blue
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
But sometimes the bear eats you
And sometimes I feel like I should go
Far far away and hide
'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in
And all that ever comes is the tide
Chorus
Oh I saved up all my money
I gonna buy me a flashy car
So I go downtown to see the man
And he smokin' on a big cigar
Well he must'a thought I were Rockefeller
Or an uptown man of wealth
He said "Boy I got the car that's made for you
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"
Then I got on the highway...oh, I feelin' fine...I hit a bump
Then I found I bought a car held together
By wire, and a couple a' hunks of twine
Chorus
Oh, Friday night, feelin' right
I head out on the street
Standin' in the doorway
Was a dealer known as Pete
Well he sold me a dime of some super fine
Dynamite from Mexico
I spent all that night
Just tryin' to get right
On an ounce of Oregano
Chorus (4 x's)

Corndog

i was all alone on a saturday night
and the funny thing is, we didn't even have a fight
i stayed up all night cryin'
and i slept all day, and missed the game
inside i think i'm dyin'
i just can't figure out how she slipped away
i was out all night monday in dallas
and the strangest thing is, i can't remember a thing
i was drunk and drinkin'
and i woke up in my best friend's car
my friends say i've gone crazy
i still need to find out how she slipped away
i've no idea what i did
she just told me,
"have someone check your head"
let me ask you, do you think that i was wrong?
trying too hard? maybe i came on too strong
tryin' to find
tryin' to find
tryin' to find a reason not to leave your side
tryin' to find
tryin' to find an answer, before i lose my mind
i was at a club real late last tuesday
and the weirdest thing is, i can't remember her name
i stayed up all night
tryin' to make her face look just like yours
and she ended up cryin'
i still need to find out why you slipped away
i've no idea what i did
she just told me,
"have someone check your head"
let me ask you, do you think that i was wrong, yeah
trying too hard? maybe i came on too strong
tryin' to find
tryin' to find
tryin' to find a reason not to leave your side
tryin' to find
tryin' to find an answer, before i lose my mind
i'm trying to find
i'm trying to find a reason not to leave your side
i'm trying to find
i'm trying to find an answer before i lose my mind

Night After Night

by Bob Dylan
Night after night you wander the streets of my mind.
Night after night don't know what you think you will find.
No place to go, nowhere to turn,
Everything around you seems to burn, burn, burn.
And there's never any mercy night after night.
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night some new plan to blow up the world.
Night after night another old man kissing some young girl.
You look for salvation, you find none.
Just another broken heart, another barrel of a gun,
Just another stick of dynamite night after night.
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night you drop dead in your bed,
Night after night another bottle finds a head.
Night after night I think about cutting you loose
But I just can't do it, what would be the use?
So I just keep a holding you tight night after night.
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night

Another Mans Woman

If theres no way of knowing wheres the answer,
You should know if you need me by now, tell me how.
You saw me in the first place,
Who dyou think I am
How can you be so two-faced
And tell me where I stand
Yeah, weve been here once before,
I see you by the door,
You said you knew and all were calling,
Yeah, you know you just cant lose,
All you have to do is choose, let me in on where your heart is.
You aint nothing but another mans woman,
Living on another mans land;
At night I hear a hound dog callin,
A callin me a cheatin man.
I tell you somethin, I need good lovin, but you dont understand,
At night I see you cannonball comin
To blow me to the promised land.
If theres no-way of showing where your love lies,
Is it me? , is it him? , or no-one;
What will be done?
About the mess you made me,
Oh dont you give a damn,
Youre gonna drive me crazy,
Its more than I can stand,
round and round we always go
First its yes and then its no,
Oh whatever keeps me sane?
Im so helpless, cant you see?
Did you cast a spell on me,
Say you love me please, Im praying

Last Night

Last night
You know you really really
Made me appreciate my life
When you took me to the seventh floor
And closed the door
I didnt stand a chance
Oh oh that night
When my conscience was losing
In that age old fight
Now Ive always been a non-believer
A true deceiver
A hit and run romance
Dont you know that when we turned out the light
We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave
Like we were ships in the night
Going nowhere
Last night
When the feeling was missing
But the mood was right
From the moment we took the floor
I knew for sure
Wed play the parts were expected to
Ive done it so many times
Man were all inmates of the human zoo
Our bodies in control of our minds
I played the jester and you played the fool
You kept forgetting your lines
I had to prompt you with a bourbon or two
Huh, you planned to come all the time
But when we turned out the light
We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave
Like we were ships in the night
Going nowhere (nowhere)
Oh last night
You know you really really
Gave me something to write about
In the morning it was just the same
Id lost again
But it wont take me long to forget
Oh oh last night

Faster Than The Speed Of The Night

(Jim Steinman)
I don't want to let another minute got by
They're slipping tho ough out finger, but we're ready to fly
The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
We got the music in our bodies and the radio
And when the mourning arrives it'll all be gone
Disappearing in (to) the crack of dawn
We better make our move now before the sun is awake
It's time to put up or shut up and to pick up the pace
And I don't want to let another minute go by
Love is going to get us while the moon is in the sky
We may be running out of night, but never running out of steam
We're acting on a hunch, and we'll be acting out a dream
There really isn't any time to lose
They're going to catch us if we wait until it gets too light
You're such a pretty boy
Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
But you gotta move faster
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And it's all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And it's all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Let me show you how to drive me crazy
Let me show you how to make me feel so good
Let me show you how to take me to the edgeof the stars and then back again
You've gotta show me how to drive you crazy
You've gotta show me all the things you want to happen to you
We've gotta tell each other everything we always wanted someone to do
I don't want to push you now and I don't want to rush
We're getting closer every second now, but close is not enough
The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
We got the musicin our fingers and the radio
There really isn't any time to lose
We're going to lose it if we wait until it gets too light
You're such a pretty boy
Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
But you gotta move faster
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And it's all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And it's all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night

WOMEN GOIN CRAZY...by Talile Ali

NOT A SANE ONE IN THE BUNCH
THINK I'M GOIN OUT TO LUNCH
GOTTA AVOID THE CRUNCH AND MUNCH

WOMEN LOSIN ALL THEIR HEADS
TRYIN HARD TO GET IN BED

WHEN DID EVERYONE LOSE THEIR HEART
THIS STUFFS TEARING THE WORLD APART
SMELLIN LIKE ONE HELL OF A FART

WOMEN GOIN CRAZY
LOSIN ALL THEIR MINDS
WANTIN TO BE SHADY
IN THIS WORLD OF MINE

GET AWAY FROM ME WOMAN
I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU PLAY
GONNA GET ME ARRESTED
GONNA HAVE ME TAKEN AWAY

The Open Road

THE roads of the Sea
Are thronged with merchantmen;
East and West, North and South
They go and come again.

All precious merchandise
They bear in their hold:
Lest the people be starving
In the night and cold.

Now tell me, good merchants,
How this thing can be
That the white ships are thronging
The roads of the sea?

For there's death in the skies
And there's death on the earth;
And men talked of famine
And a frozen hearth.

Yet the ships they go crowding
The roads of the sea;
They bring home their treasures
To you and to me.

O listen, good people,
And hearing, praise God,
That the watch-dogs are keeping
The ships on their road!

They sit watchful and steady
Where the North winds blow;
Sleepless they are keeping
The roads the ships go.

In the day, in the hour,
They will spring--until then,
Their eyes keep the courses
Of the merchantmen.

Forget not, good people,
When ye heap the white board,
When ye draw to the hearth-fire,
To praise the Lord,

That the watch-dogs unsleeping
Keep the roads of the Sea,
Up by the Northern Lights
Where the great ships be.

So We Booze

Confused and duped by a cruel world.
And broken!
Until a choice is made it's better...
Accepting one's fate to lose.

The ones who choose to maneuver...
Have no time to just cruise through a life,
Undenying what's right.
Like those frightened at night...
Who can't sleep peacefully,
Because they've been deceived.

Confused and duped by a cruel world.
And broken!
Until a choice is made it's better...
Accepting one's fate to lose.

And emotionally damaged deep inside.
With a crying about a free ride...
Through a lifetime luxurized with ease and leisure!

Confused and duped by a cruel world.
And broken until they lose.

The ones who choose to maneuver...
Have no time to just cruise through a life,
Undenying what is right.
Like those frightened at night...
Who can't sleep peacefully,
Because they've been deceived.

And this mistreated tragedy,
Has been for you and me...
As clear as can be!

So we booze.
Until this stinging is numbed!

Red

Put your hand in the paintbox and choose
Which one says the most about you
I would have to pick the deepest shade
The saddest shade of blue
But red is colour Id choose
Red is colour Id choose
I set my soul long ago and far away
Oh its written down so deep it can never fade away
Though so many years have come and gone
Through my life one thing has stayed
An eternal light that shines clean through the grey
Red is colour Id choose
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
It dont matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
cos red is colour Id choose
If I waste my time away waiting just for you
I dont care what others say
cos baby I just love, love what you do
Red is colour Id choose
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
It dont matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
cos red is colour Id choose

Messmates

He gave us all a good-bye cheerily
At the first dawn of day;
We dropped him down the side full drearily
When the light died away.
It's a dead dark watch that he's a-keeping there,
And a long, long night that lags a-creeping there,
Where the Trades and the tides roll over him
And the great ships go by.

He's there alone with green seas rocking him
For a thousand miles round;
He's there alone with dumb things mocking him,
And we're homeward bound.
It's a long, lone watch that he's a-keeping there,
And a dead cold night that lags a-creeping there,
While the months and the years roll over him
And the great ships go by.

I wonder if the tramps come near enough
As they thrash to and fro,
And the battle-ships' bells ring clear enough
To be heard down below;
If through all the lone watch that he's a-keeping there,
And the long, cold night that lags a-creeping there,
The voices of the sailor-men shall comfort him
When the great ships go by.

Drug (It's Just A State Of Mind)

(lebon, rhodes, taylor)
Take me in the morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
Take me,
Take me, take me, take me, take me
Take, take, take, take.
Before you slide into the wide
There's something i want you to know
(what you see is what you want)
In all your stretch of conciousness
You've still got a long way to go
(what you want its what you need)
Some make you spin,
Some make you sweat,
Its only here for you to choose (choose me)
And if you try, an alternative high
Then tell me what have you got to loose now..
Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay - up all night
Up all night
The hit, the hit
The hit to fit reality,
Its just a state of mind
(what you see is what you want)
And you'll admit its more than just an axe that you've got to grind
(what you want is what you need)
We'll make a spin
We'll make you sweat
All you've got to do is use me (use me)
Some like it hot
But i like it wet
So tell me what have we got to lose now..
(chorus)
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
(use me) (use me) (choose me) (choose me) (use me) (use me)
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
A drug, its a drug
(chorus)
Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling slow
Take me when the mood is right
(chorus)
Take me every morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling slow
Take me when the mood is right
Up all night

Before This Night Is Through

(cantarelli & a anderson)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
I been crazy for you, so long
How could something so right turn out so wrong
Words, never mean what they say
Words just get in the way
Before this night is through
Gonna make you see
How l been blind to you
You been blind to me
Before this night is through were gonna get to the truth
Before this night is through
Gonna heal the pain
Before this night is through
Youll be back again
No matter what we do I know well be all right
Before this night is through
Hearts broken in pieces no time to mend
Without loving they fall apart in the end
Fools, never admit theyre wrong
They live their lives alone
Before this night is through
Girl were gonna see how I belong to you
You belong to me
Before this night is through were gonna get to the truth
Before this night is through
Well get past the pain
Before this night is through
Youll be back again
No matter what we do I know well be ll right
Before this night is through
Come inside close the door come to me now
Well find our way we know how
Let the past be the past let it all fall away
Baby I know we told lies and to lie is a sin
Well get to the truth we will simply begin
Instrumental.before this night is through were gonna get to the truth
Before this night is through
Well get past the pain
Before this night is through
Youll come back again
No matter what we do I know well be all right
Before this night, before this night is through
