PokerFace
Whos' pride gets hurt
Whos' ego gets burnt
Who's the first to call
the first to crawl
Who'll let out a groan
As their hand grabs the phone
While the mind screams 'THINK!
You don't want to blink
You've been counting cards
And you hoard a few hearts
You may ruin your score
If you hasten the draw
So you stiffen your stand
Pray you hold better hand
Yet the doubt sets in
You don't care if you win
Throw it all, make the call
Pride be damned if you fall
But player's folded and gone
Left the chips and moved on

Any Given Sunday
man speaking : in any fight,
its the guy whos willin to die whos gonna win that itch!
and i know if im gonna have any life anymore,
its because im still willing to fight,
and die,
for that itch!!
taking my time,
im trying to leave the memories of you behind,
im gonna be fine,
as soon as i get your picture out of my mind
i wanna feel the way you make me feel when im with you,
i wanna be the only hand you need to hold onto,
but every time i call you dont have time
i guess ill never get to call you mine
your nothing at all
i know theres a million reasons why i shouldnt call
theres nothing to say
that could easily make this conversation last all day
i wanna feel the way you make me feel when im with you,
i wanna be the only hand you need to hold onto,
but every time i call you dont have time
i guess ill never get to call you mine

Throw Down A Line
Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos drowning in the stormy sea
Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me
Men are tied in chains of silence
I look on violence, up, down, left and right
Is there no hope of light
The peaceful hand that once caressed me
Hurts like the rest, because its turned to stone
Talons of steel have grown
Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos drowning in the stormy sea
Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me
Yeah, oh help me, yeah
Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos drowning in the stormy sea
Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me
See the moon, its getting nearer
But no more clearer than the earth below
What do we really know
I feel the stab of pain returning
Despair is burning in my heart again
Why dont they see the end, ooooh
Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos drowning in the stormy sea
Yeah, throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me
Throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos drowning in the stormy sea
Yeah, throw down a line, help a poor boy
Whos hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me

If I Had Any Sense Left At All
I can feel the darkness reaching in
As I touch the place you may as well have never been
Love can hurt much more than one can bare
When a heart beats for someone whose not there
How many times must I tell myself that you're gone
When will the rest of me wake up and see what went wrong
So wrong
And turn on the light and pick up the phone and just call
And lay pride aside
If I had any sense left at all
Voices call that only I can hear
Who would have thought love was somethin' I would fear
Almost hold, almost smell, almost taste
On my mind, in my heart, on my face
How many times must I tell myself that you're gone
And when will the rest of me wake up and see what went wrong
So wrong
And turn on the light and pick up the phone and just call
And lay pride aside
If I had any sense left at all
Oh, just lay pride aside
If I had any sense left at all

Queen Of Them All
When the day is dawning
Whos the radio
Whos the hand in your hand
Whos the one who knows
When youre on the ropes
Shes the one you can lean on
And I really dont know why I feel so good
But its happening to me so I knock on wood
Who can call you darling
Who can make you stand
Whos got all the answers
When things get out of hand
Whos got all the moves
Shes the queen of them all
And I really dont know why I feel so good
But its happening to me so I knock on wood
Shes the queen of them all
Shes the queen of them all
Walkin proud with her colors showing
Shes the queen of them all
When the sun is setting
Who will hold your hand
Who is always there for you
Who can understand
Shes got all the moves
Shes the queen of them all
And I really dont know why I feel so good
But its happening to me so I knock on wood
And I really dont know why I feel so good
But its happening to me so I knock on wood

Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing
Sing, sing
Whos that stompin all over my face?
Wheres that sillhouette Im trying to trace?
And whos putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before shes begun
Just singing and a dreaming of whats in my mind
Before I can take home whats rightfully mine
Joinin and a listenin and talkin in rhymes
Stoppin the feeling to wait for the times
(*) whos saying maybe
That dont mean a thing
cause nowadays clancy cant even sing
Sing, sing
Whos all hung-up on that happiness thing?
Whos trying to tune all the bells they ring?
And whos in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just counting the score
Whos trying to act like hes just in-between?
The night isnt black, if you know that its green
Dont bother looking, youre too blind to see
Whos coming on like he wanted to be?
Repeat (*)
Whos coming home on the old 9 to 5?
Whos got the feeling here to keep him alive?
Though havin it, sharin it, aint quite the same
You painted it golden nugget, you cant lay claim
Whos seeing eyes through the crack in the floor?
There it is baby, dont you worry no more
Who should be sleepin, but s writing this song
Wishin and a-hopin he werent so damned wrong
Repeat (*) twice

If I Had Any Sense Left At All (feat. Phil Collins)

As I touch the place you may as well have never been
Love can hurt much more than one can bear
When a heart beats for someone who's not there

How many times
Must I tell myself that you're gone
When will the rest of me wake up

Foolish Pride
When Im hurt then I come on strong
I wanna break down
But I just keep it in
Being too strong is a weakness, girl
cause when you fight the world
You know whos gonna win
And you say I wont look you in the eye
Its like talking to a wall
But a wall can crumble down
Yeah theres something thats deep inside
Thats gotta be tough
Whenever youre around
Ive got this foolish pride
And pride goes before a fall
Yeah Ive got this foolish pride
You make me feel like the livin end
But the end came quick
And made me wanna die
So I played like I didnt care
Didnt mess my hair
Believe me I dont know why
Ive got this foolish pride
And pride goes before a fall
Yeah Ive got this foolish pride
If I wanted I colled have fooled em all
Thats great til tomorrow when Im all alone
You know the truth comes out in the end
When the fools start falling they need their friends

Elevator Man
Whos goin down
Whos goin down - whos goin down
I ride my elevator
Through the shafts of your heart
When you climb aboard baby
Theres no getting off
Im a silent operator wont you please take my hand
I am so polite - Im the elevator man
Friction and harmony - whos gonna ride with me
Im the elevator man
Whos going down whos comin with me
Who wants to take a chance
On a piece of abstract reality
Its only just a dance
Wont you come and ride with the elevator man
Whos goin down yeah - movin slow without a sound
Whos going down - whos going down - whos going down

Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight
Theres a place you go after dark
Where you sell your haunted heart
In the shadows you look for the friend
Wholl take you where the sidewalks ends
And its a sad affair
You reach out but no ones there
Tell me whos gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Wholl be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me whos gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight
You couldnt see that love was the price
What happened to the light in your eyes
Broken dreams fall at your feet
You stand alone on a dead end street
So whos gonna hear you prayer
Look around theres no one there
Hell tell you dreams come true
And take you to some rented room
But when the blinds are drawn
Another angel will fall
I guess its in your blood
One love just aint enough
Tell me whos gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Wholl be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me whos gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight

Whos To Bless & Whos To Blame
If a cheated mans a loser
And a cheater never wins
And if beggars cant be choosers
til theyre weak and wealthy men
And the old keep gettin older
And the young must do the same
And its never gettin better
Whos to bless, and whos to blame
Chorus:
All the cards are on the table
You done laid your money down
Dont complain about your chances, boy
Its the only game in town
And the meaning doesnt matter
Nor the way you play the game
To the winner or the loser
Whos to bless, and whos to blame
Chorus:
Keep your hands above the table
And your back against the wall
Toss your chips in with your chances, boy
Let em lay the way they fall
Cause the moral doesnt matter
Broken rules are all the same
To the broken or the breaker
Whos to bless, and whos to blame

Number One
Written by tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
You cant be still
Youre such a nervous fellow
Like a yo-yo
Up and down
Take this little pill
And life will be so mellow
Youll feel the world
Start slowing down around
Whos that rushing out the door
Whos not taking any more
Whos been down this road before
Without you
You tell me whos number one
Whos not here
Whos having fun
Whos the one who cares this much
About you
You wont feel the pain
You wont mind the rain
You can be happy all the time
All the time
One dose twice a day
The world will go away
Youll be smiling through
The worst of times
Whos that rushing out the door
Whos not taking any more
Whos been down this road before
Without you
You tell me whos number one
Whos not here
Whos having fun
Whos the one
Who knows so much about you
I believe I belive
Theres something more
I believe its just beyond the door
I believe theres something more
I believe its just
Beyond the door
I believe theres something
Better out there
Wanna leave this world
So far behind
I can see your face there
In my mind
I believe theres something
Better our there
Whos that rushing
Whos not taking
Whos been down this
You tell me whos
Whos not here whos
Whos the one who
Something better
Something better
Something better
Something better
Something better

Happy To Give
I was born a believer, played the fool
Lonely dreamer, left to choose
I dont know where the love is, theres a promise undone
Someones cryin, in a room all alone
Shadows fall, after the hurt is gone
Through it all, we love and we lose
Where is the one, someone whos happy (happy to give)
Happy to be with you, its here you belong, with someone
Whos happy (happy to give) happy to give you love
A song for the singer, one book of dreams
Take this heartache, away from me
A page in a story, romance untold
Sharing secrets, we call, our own
Shadows fall, after the hurt is gone
Through it all, we love and we lose
Where is the one, someone whos happy (happy to give)
Happy to be with you, its where you belong, with someone
Whos happy (happy to give) happy to give you love
Happy, happy, oh happy
(happy to give), oo happy to give
Oh somebodys happy to give you love,
Your love, your love oh yeah

Whos Cheatin Who
(jerry hayes)
Everywhere you look you can write a book
On the trouble of a woman and a man
But you can not impose you cant stick your nose
Into something that you dont understand
But still you wonder
Whos cheatin who, whos being true
Who dont even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Whos doing right with someone tonight
And whos car is parked next door
I thought I knew her well I really couldnt tell
That she had another lover on her mind
You see it felt so right when she held me tight
How could I be so blind
But still you wonder
Whos cheatin who, whos being true
Who dont even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Whos doing right with someone tonight
And whos car is parked next door
A heart is on the line each and every time
Love is stolen in the shadows of the night
Though its wrong all along it keeps going on
As long as you keep in outta sight
But still you wonder
Whos cheatin who, whos being true
Who dont even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Whos doing right with someone tonight
And whos car is parked next door

Minstrel Boy
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
Oh, luckys been drivin a long, long time
And now hes stuck on top of the hill.
With twelve forward gears, its been a long hard climb,
And with all of them ladies, though, hes lonely still.
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
Well, he deep in number and heavy in toil,
Mighty mockingbird, he still has such a heavy load.
Beneath his boundries, what more can I tell,
With all of his travlin, but Im still on that road.
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Separated by pride
They crave for eachother yet they are separated by pride,
A simple phone call could bring them together but
Their pride prevents either from lifting that phones cradle,
They feign not to notice their hearts evanescence away,
They smile at reflections that nolonger smile back in those mirrors,
They hold in their lachrymose everytime one is with another,
And live the rest of their lives pretending to have moved on.

Whos gonna shoe your pretty feet
Whos gonna hold your hand
Whos gonna take you out tonight
To listen to the band
Wholl be the one you love to love
Whos gonna make you glow
Whos gonna show you off tonight
When she takes you to the show

Babe, itll be me
Coming for thee
Babe, coming for thee
In case theres any doubt
Heres what Im talkin about
Itll be me
Babe, itll be me
Whos gonna meet you in the morn
Court you through the day
Whos gonna be there by your side
When you rock the night away
Itll be me

The Pride That Comes After
It knows it all, it knows it all,
The world of groans and laughter,
It sneers of pride before a fall,
But the bitter pride comes after:
So leave me and I’ll seek you not,
So seek me and you’ll find me—
But till I know your hand-grip’s true
I’ll stand with hands behind me.
It knows it all, it knows it all,
The world of lies and sorrow—
It prates of pride before a fall,
And of the humble morrow;
But shame and blame are but a name,
Oh, heart that’s hurt past curing!
We’ll drink to-night the sinner’s pride,
The pride that’s most enduring.
They know it all, they know it all,
The curs that pass the sentence.
They preach of pride before a fall
And bitter black repentance:
So leave me when my star is set,
I’ll glory that you leave me,
While one has pride to love me yet
There’s nought on earth shall grieve me.

Most Likely You Go Your Way & Ill Go Mine
You say you love me
And youre thinkin of me,
But you know you could be wrong.
You say you told me
That you wanna hold me,
But you know youre not that strong.
I just cant do what I done before,
I just cant beg you any more.
Im gonna let you pass
And Ill go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And whos been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.
You say you disturb me
And you dont deserve me,
But you know sometimes you lie.
You say youre shakin
And youre always achin,
But you know how hard you try.
Sometimes it gets so hard to care,
It cant be this way evrywhere.
And Im gonna let you pass,
Yes, and Ill go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And whos been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.
The judge, he holds a grudge,
Hes gonna call on you.
But hes badly built
And he walks on stilts,
Watch out he dont fall on you.
You say youre sorry
For tellin stories
That you know I believe are true.
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover
And yes, I believe you do.
You say my kisses are not like his,
But this time Im not gonna tell you why that is.
Im just gonna let you pass,
Yes, and Ill go last.
Then time will tell who fell
And whos been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.
