Limelight
Lead vocal - gary brooker
I can see the glow of a distant sun
I can feel it inside
Maybe this day could be the one
I can hear the roar of a distant crowd
They are waiting for me
Calling my name
Shouting out loud
Holding on isnt always easy
I aint gonna change my mind
Limelight you were all I ever wanted
Since it all began
Limelight shining on me
Telling the world who I am
Limelight dont let me slip right through your fingers
Theres a long way to fall
After the years of waiting
Im gonna show them all
I can see the world in a different light
Now its easy to say
Where I went wrong
What I did right
I can hear the beat of a different drum
Take it all in my stride
Hold my head high
Second to none
Holding on wasnt always easy
Nothing can change my mind
Limelight you were all I ever wanted since it all began
Limelight shining on me telling the world who I am
Limelight dont let me slip right through your fingers
Theres a long way to fall
After the years of waiting Im gonna show them all
Maybe the roles not easy, maybe the prize is small
After the years of waiting Im gonna show them all

Livin In The Limelight
**everybody wants to be a star
Living in the limelight
A big house and a fancy car
Living in the limelight
Everybody gonna know your name
Surely pleased to meet you
Ask you for your autograph
See your latest feature
In the middle of the middle of a dream
Living in the limelight
See yourself on the silver screen
Living in the limelight
*how you gonna keep em down on the farm
Never make em happy
How you gonna keep em close to home
Everybodys leavin, headin for hollywood
Everybody has a fantasy
Living in the limelight
A personality
Living in the limelight
Hypnotisin the roar of the crowd
Living in the limelight
Never heard of stagefright
First one back for the curtain call
Fall in love with the spotlight
On the cover of a magazine
Living in the limelight
In your limousine
Living in the limelight
Everybody gonna know your name
Living in the limelight
Say, gonna be pleased to meet you
Living in the limelight
Living in the lime, living in the limelight
Living in the limelight
They go to hollywood, be a star
Living in the limelight...

Limelight
Im in the limelight
No time for sun ray
We are the happening
This day is our day
Im in the limelight ah ah
Big on my block now ah ah
Im in the limelight ah ah
Im in the limelight

At least for a short while

Stroll into Your Limelight!
Stroll into your limelight!
Brave.
Let gusto push you front and center.
Others still wait for unanswered prayers,
Stored and saved...
To show gold fingers to adorn deflated egos.
Attached without obstacles...
Gift wrapped and packaged to camouflage pain!
Trinkets can be sold, borrowed and stolen.
Faith is not a commodity!
Discovery is bliss...
If you,
Stroll into your limelight!
Brave.
Say goodbye to nightmares.
Say goodbye to foolishness,
Trapped by the passing of hat tricks!
And dare your dreams to come true!
Demand they appear.
Not as others wish they do for you!
But as you know them to be!
It's time for you to shine.
You can!
Just do.
Be brave...
Stroll into your limelight,
And glow!

Waiting On Love
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You drive me crazy, every little thing about you
Can't get you out of my head
And when I'm with you, nothing seems to really matter
And every word that you say
I know our names ain't carved in stone
But right now I can't leave you alone
Infatuation's taken hold on me
I can't let you go, I won't let you go
How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you
You know I've been waiting
I always wanted someone to believe in me
Someone to show me the way
You came along and shone light into my darkness
You know it set me free
I know our names ain't carved in stone
But right now I can't leave you alone
Infatuation's taken hold on me
I can't let you go, I won't let you go
How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you
I've just got to let you know
Someone I wish to hold just to let my feelings show(?)
Never gonna let you slip away
I'm asking you to stay, yeah
Now that I've found you
Oh yeah
How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you
Yeah, you know I've been waiting
You know I've been waiting for somebody just like you
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for somebody just like you
For somebody, for somebody
I've been waiting, I've been waiting
Now that I've found you, ain't gonna let you go
For somebody...

Across The Universe
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothings gonna
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothings gonna
Noth, nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Hey yeah, nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change it (nothings gonna change it)
Nothings gonna change it (no no no no no)
Nothings gonna change my world (nothings gonna change my world)

Go Easy On Me
(john jarvis & randy goodrum)
I hear you baby, I know how you feel
Were both hungry for something thats real
Be honest with me or dont even try
cause I cant afford another goodbye
Go easy on me, baby, not too rough
If this is right, theres no need to rush
Oh, go easy on me, if you dont mind
cause I cant afford to lose another time
Starting over isnt easy as it sounds
When you try to make the pieces fit
They all fall down
And I need more than someone to hold on to
I need a love thats tried and true
Its what Im searching for
Its worth waiting for
Talk gently to me, nice and low
If you mean it, baby, my heart will know
Oh, go easy on me, like walking on ice
cause forever happens once not twice
Starting over isnt easy as it sounds
When you try to make the pieces fit
They all fall down
And I need more than someone to hold on to
I need a love thats tried and true
Its what Im looking for
Its worth waiting for
Go easy on me, baby, not too rough
If this is right, well know soon enough
Oh, go easy on me, not too fast
I gotta believe that whats between us
Can be more than just a promise
cause they dont last
So all that I ask
Go easy on me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Easy, ooh, ooh, ooh

Lady Limelight is a jealous lady. She wants all of your attention. You don't have any time to think of anything else but Lady Limelight, because pretty soon that light will be shinning on somebody else. So you better do it while you can.

Something About You
When I was younger I thought I could stand on my own
It wasnt easy, I stood like a man made of stone
But there was something about you
I want you to know
It brought a change over me
Its startin to show
Ive got this feelin inside
Gotta have ya, have ya, aint no good to hide
It isnt easy
To show what Im feeling inside, girl
It isnt easy
I know, when you believe in a man like me
When I get angry I say things I dont wanna say
I really mean it, I dont want to leave you this way
I couldnt help my reaction
I want you to know
I lose control over you
I just wantcha to know
Got this feeling inside
Gotta have ya, have ya, aint no good to hide
It isnt easy
To show what Im feeling inside, girl
It isnt easy
I k now, when you believe in a man like me
But there was something about you
I want you to know
It brought a change over me
Its startin to show
I got this feelin inside, gotta have you, have you
Aint no good to hide.
It isnt easy
To show what Im feeling inside, girl
It isnt easy
I know, to believe in a man like me
Like me, cantch see

This Time
What you gonna do about it
How you gonna live without it
Some of us are getting proud
And I dont know if thats allowed
People just cant forget it
This time!
Some of us are getting strong
Never want to wait too long
This time
And now I want to get away
I know what I want and I say what I say
Never want to live without it
This time!
And when the feelings show
I need the time to know
If Im goin to get it right
And when the feelings show
I need the faith to know
Well I dont know if Ive got the message right
People cant get by without it
This time
Love is gonna get requited
This time
Some of us are getting strong
And I dont know if thats so wrong
Never want to wait to get it
This time
And when the feelings show
Tell me do you know
It Im gonna get it right
When the light go low
Tell me do you know
Oh, I need to know
If Im gonna get it right
People go to war to get it
This time
The devil called, better forget it
This time
Never gonna say thats wrong
Cos all I know I cant be wrong
Never go to bed without it
This time
Living in a street aint easy
This time
Never gonna get it easy
This time

Two Out Of Three Aint Bad
(jim steinman)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But thatll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldnt make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
Im tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout
But youve been cold to me so long
Im crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Youll never find your gold on a sandy beach
Youll never drill for oil on a city street
I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there aint no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom
Of a cracker jack box
I cant lie
I cant tell you that Im something Im not
No matter how hard I try
Ill never be able
To give you something
Something that I just havent got
Well theres only one boy that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though Ill never get him out of my head
He never loved me back
Ooh I know
Well I remember how he left me on a stormy night
He kissed me and got out of our bed
And I pleaded and I begged him not to walk out that door
He packed his bags and turned away
And he kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
I keep on telling you
I keep on telling you
I keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad

Now dont be sad

Say It Aint So Jo

Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
Thats not what I wanna hear jo
And I got a right to know
Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
Im sure theyre telling us lies jo
Please tell us it aint so
They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesnt know how to go on
Were clinging to his charm and determined smile
The good old days have gone
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One mans word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
We pinned our hopes on you jo
And theyre ruining our show
Ooh baby dont you think
Were gonna get burned
Ooh baby dont you think
Were gonna get burned
Were gonna get turned
Were gonna get burned
Yes were gonna get turned
Were gonna get burned
Were gonna get turned
Yes, were gonna get burned
Were gonna get burned
Were gonna get burned
Yes were gonna get turned
Were gonna get burned
Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
Thats not what I wanna hear jo
And I got a right to know
Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
Im sure theyre telling us lies jo
Please tell us it aint so
Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
Thats not what I wanna hear jo

My Fault
(ron wood, rod stewart, ian mclagan, 1973)
Take me like you find me
Dont try to change me
You know better than that
Take me as you see me
Dont try to hide me
I aint used to that
Shout it out loud
Put a bomb in a crowd
If I got something to say
Theres nothing that can stop me
I cant let it lay
If I have to fall on my head
Every night of the week
Its gonna be my fault,
No one else
If everything goes wrong
When Im singing my song
Its gonna be my fault
And no one else
There aint nothing you can do about it
Ive sat and thought it over,
Dont try to help me
I was just born this way,
Yes I was born this way
I aint gonna change for nobody,
Never, never gonna change
So if everything goes wrong
And I drink all night
Its gonna be my fault
And no one else
People dont change just over night
It aint natural, so dont
Break it kindly,
Dont hypnotize me
I just wont understand
Take me like you find me
Dont try to change me
You know better than that
Oh dont you know better than that
Oh dont you know better than that
Say Im just a fool, thats alright
Never try to change me
Or rearrange me, oh yeah

The Verdict
Did you do me right?
Did I do right by you?
When I bared my soul it seems you did not hear
Can this be true?
Am I fool to fight?
I could do just what you say
But Im following my heart and that takes me another way
Its not easy when theres no one one giving prizes at the end
Waiting in the wings
Wishing that the band would start to play
As the show begins
Wonder what the critics have to say
Waiting
Waiting
For the verdict
Some people live so fast
Theyre so scared of getting old
Some people keep on working
All they do is line their graves with gold
We dont know what happens when we die
We only know we die too soon
But we have to try or else our world becomes a waiting room
Would you testify for me?
I think Id do the same for you
Waiting in the dark
Waiting for the phone to ring all day
My witness disappears
Wonder what the jury has to say
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting

Back Where You Belong
I heard you're askin how I'm feelin
I guess I'll play it day by day
I'm still around now my heart is healin
But something's never gonna change
Cause now I know love ain't easy to find
I let you go, now I'm changing my mind
I know that love, it don't come easy
Took so long, it's been hard to find
And so, love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Want you back where you belong
Back where you belong
I've played around now
I've done some dealin
I found that love should be with you
And so you're gone now
My head is reelin'
Don't wanna be with someone new
And so I go with a feelin inside
Because I know what I'm leavin behind
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long it's been hard to find
And so, love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Want you back where you belong
Back where you belong
I guess in time
I'd stop and think it over
Everything that we've been through
This heart of mine may never find another
Who loves me just the way you do
I heard you're askin how I'm feelin
I guess I'll play it day by day
I'm still around now my heart is healin'
But something's never gonna change
Cause now I know love ain't easy to find
I let you go, now I'm changin' my mind

Flashman
I'm waiting,
Waiting for you to crash,
I'm waiting,
Waiting to see your cash,
Waiting so long,
Waiting over here,
Waiting over there,
Waiting to hear you say,
You'll come back to me!
Waiting for the rush!
You're all flash and no cash,
Don't like your trash,
Gonna see you crash,
I'm waiting,
Waiting on my own,
I'm waiting,
Waiting to hear you groan,
Waiting to get you alone,
Waiting for us to meet,
Waiting to get off the street,
Waiting for my heart,
To skip a beat,
Waiting for the rush!
Tired of all your flash,
Get rid of the trash, and,
Show me your cash,
So where do you go to find a lover?
And where will you find a brother?
Is this the end of the road?
Will you stoop low?
So that I can grow?

Let Me Down Easy
If youre gonna let me down, let me down easy
So I wont be too hurt after youre gone
And if youre gonna let me down ah set me down easy
From that special cloud you put me on
Let me down easy, let me down slow
And if youre gonna leave me
Ah honey please me a memory to soften up the fall
And if youre gonna let me down ah let me down easy
Ah baby please dont let me down at all
Let me down easy let me down slow
And if youre gonna let me down ah set me down easy

If Heaven Were To Fall
I'm going crazy my world is turning hazy
I never realized how close it
was until this day
So changes, I missed them all believe me
I'll take the fall but damn it,
wish I could pray for you to stay
Aaah...
Why so suddenly, it sure took
time to see
Aaah...
Why should I believe, that you are
there for me
I see the writing on the wall and know
the way I want to go
And even if the heaven were to fall,
I'll still be waiting
I see the writing on the wall and
I just wanna let you know
That even if the heaven were to fall
I'll still be waiting
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm gonna be waiting waiting...
This time I'm standning, I'm coming
in for landing
I wanna see if all the dreams
we have can be for real
No chances, I want you to believe me
I know it isn't easy, wish I could show you
how I feel
Aaah...
Why so suddenly, it sure took
time to see
Aaah...
Why should I believe
that you are there for me
I see the writing on the wall
and know the way I want to go
And even if the heaven were to fall
I'll still be waiting
I see the writing on the wall and
I just wanna let you to know
That even if the heaven were to fall
I'll still be waiting
I see the writing on the wall and even if heaven were to fall...

Free n Easy
Aint it strange
That when youre onely
And your friends theyre not around
So you make your big decision
Get your feet back on the ground
When youre down
And no one wants you
And you wonder who you are
When your friends
They dont desert you
When you make it youre a star
But Im gonna stay
Free and easy
I know just what I am
Im gonna be free and easy
Well, Ive been through
All the heartaches
And Ive been through all the pain
But when youre up and riding high
Everybody stakes their claim
Im gonna be free and easy
I know just what I am
Im gonna be free and easy
Im gonna be free and easy
I know just who I am
Im gonna be free and easy
