Producer for bonnie: eiki uchida. arranged by: kenjirl oda
This song was recorded by bonnie, in london, on 1st aug 1981, it was released as a single in japan. the lyrics are taken from the single sleeve.
Sometimes you were tender, so tender to me
But I was lookin for freedom...just had to be free
Like a baby with a new toy...i was too young to know
I was livin in a dream world where real love cant grow
Now its...
Sayonara tokyo
Its goodbye forever. Ill never be back. never be back
Sayonara tokyo
We cannot live in a memory
Im lookin for love where it finds me
Sayonara tokyo
Time is a train on a one-way track
Im goin away to the cold north
Now it seems such a long time when the miles come between...
The many nameless faces and the places Ive seen...
Bringin yesterdays memories so clear to my mind
I can finally see where my heart was blind
But its...
Sayonara tokyo
Its goodbye forever. Ill never be back. never be back
Sayonara tokyo
We cannot live in a memory
Im lookin for love where it finds me
Sayonara tokyo
Time is a train on a one-way track
Im goin away to the cold north

Tokyo
Transistorised, and anodised
Chrome plated, squeaky clean
Oh tokyo, oh tokyo
Oh tokyo I love you
Youre trembling, youre choking
But youre magical to me
Oh tokyo, oh tokyo
Oh tokyo I love you
Kimonos, and geisha girls
From grade one, down to three
Oh tokyo, oh tokyo
Oh tokyo I love you
Land of the rising sun
You have taken my heart away
With your beauty you nearly blinded me
In your beauty I want to stay
I bow to you with my heart
I think of you every day
When I dream you are there beside me
But when I waken youre far away
Perfection, in miniature
With tiny hands, smiling eyes
Oh tokyo, oh tokyo
Oh tokyo I love you

Gonna Get Better
(bonnie tyler/ paul hopkins)
Producers for bonnie: steve lipson $ betsy cooke
Recorded in 1981 as a b-side for the single sayonara tokyo, and was later used as the b-side for faster than the speed of night in 1983. the two versions are actually quite different, but the same production credits are given for both. lyrics taken from careful listening.
Im sat here all alone
Here in my one room home
No one comes round no more
No one knocks on my door
Was high, then came the fall
The tax man took it all
I didnt play the rules
I was a careless fool
But its gonna get better
Feel it in my bones
Just got to hold you cause Im all alone
I need your touch
I need you here to stay
This time Ill never let you get away
They laughed at all my jokes
Look around, where are those crazy folks?
I think of real good times
Those wasted partying nights
Just bring your loving home
Dont waste love on the phone
I love you yes its true
Hells what Ive been going through
Therell be more ups and downs
Please make that turn around
Not that weve played away
Youre coming home to stay
And its gonna get better
Feel it in my bones
Just got to hold you cause Im all alone
I need your touch
I need you here to stay
Never ever gonna let you get away
Feel it in my bones
Feel it in my bones
cause Im all alone

Woman From Tokyo
Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from tokyo
Shes so good to me
Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in a eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
My woman from tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from tokyo
Shes so good to me
But Im at home and I just dont belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When were alone in her city of light
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
My woman from tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from tokyo
Shes so good to me

Tokyo Girl
Tokyo girl, tokyo girl
Youve got the moves to rule the world
That cute inscru-tability
Tokyo girl, youre a mystery
Tokyo girl, tokyo girl
Shaking up hearts around the world
You cant forget that stunning face
Smiling at you its your destiny
Shes got the face sweet as a baby
Elegant taste and money to burn
Her yes is no, no is a maybe
Her language is so hard to learn
Tokyo girl, tokyo girl
Youve got the moves to rule the world
That cute inscru-tability
Tokyo girl, youre a mystery
In tokyo
Though theres a fire burns inside here
Outside is ivory, silk and ice
Nothing she wants is denied her
Youd better take my advice
Many has tried to get near her
Deep in the heart of tokyo
Found nothing there but a mirror
Shes no one youll ever know
Tokyo girl, tokyo girl
Youve got the moves to rule the world
That cute inscru-tability
Tokyo girl, youre a mystery
In tokyo
Shes got the face sweet as a baby
Elegant taste and money to burn
Her yes is no, no is a maybe
Her language is so hard to learn
Tokyo girl, tokyo girl
Youve got the moves to rule the world
That cute inscru-tability
Tokyo girl, youre a mystery
Tokyo girl, tokyo girl
Shaking up hearts around the world
You cant forget that stunning face
Smiling at you its your destiny
In tokyo - sweet as a baby
In tokyo - sweet as a baby
In tokyo - sweet as a baby
Sweet as a baby
Sweet as a baby
Sweet as a baby

Sayonara!
Sayonara, sayonara…
O Comforter of my heart,
It is time for me to go,
Like the passing of seasons,
This spring will not last,
I can't stop the daily sunsets,
Golden autumn is impatiently waiting.
When next winter come,
the pure white snow will fall again.
When the new spring reappear,
I hope to be standing in this garden again,
though I maybe alone…
I will cherish those unforgettable moments with you,
and these sweet red roses will surely bloom again as witness,
to the meeting of hearts,
Who comforted each other so much,
But yet impossible to be together.

Anarchy In Tokyo
Here,
the moment of truth
It comes in the air
It's always the same,
it's so insane.
You cover your eyes
you fall inside
before it begins it's over.
Crash,
Crash,
out of control
Lose yourself
Go and even the score
Crash,
Crash,
out of control
Try and start a riot
now you're beggin' for more.
Anarchy in
Tokyo.
They say the city is safe,
the keepers of faith,
the bullet is safe for one and day
Eclipsed by the one
Don't bother to run
The target is on your back
You're done.
Crash,
Crash,
out of control.
Feed the source,
come join in the war.
Crash,
Crash,
out of control.
Take it,
break it
a million or more.
We're outta control (x4)
Crash,
Crash,
Out of control
Feed the source,
come join in the war.
Crash,
Crash,
out of control
Take it
break it
A million or more.
Anarchy in
Tokyo,
Anarchy in
Tokyo.

For The First Time
Are those your eyes, is that your smile
Ive been lookin at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holdin mine
Now I wonder how I could of been so blind
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time Im seein who you are
I cant believe how much I see
When youre lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....
Can this be real, can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you
Its all so strange how can it be
All along this love was right in front of me
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time Im seein who you are
I cant believe how much I see
When youre lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....
Such a long time ago
I had given up on findin this emotion..ever again
But you live with me now
Yes Ive found you some how
And Ive never been so sure
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time Im seein who you are
Cant believe how much I see
When youre lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....

Forever My Love
(carly simon/james taylor)
Words of love
Softly spoken
Like clouds above
Drift away
What shall I say?
To let you know the way I feel
Should I cry out loud that love is real?
Or simply reveal
Forever my love
Time alone will tell us
Lovers born in may
May grow bitter and jealous
Faded and gray
What shall I say?
Its not another lovers game
It doesnt seen to have a name
It changes and remains the same
Forever my love, my love
Yesterdays projection will never really know
But tomorrows recollection will surely know
It was so
Between us
Aint no other way
Time has seen us
Day after day
What shall I say?
That isnt in the way I act
That will carry through the years intact
Im lookin forward to lookin back
>from further in down the track
Together in fact
Forever my love, my love

Smoke Along The Track
(alan rose)
One day the train was passin
I caught it comin by
To look this old world over under gods blue sky
My darlin stood there weepin as I was looking back
I kissed my baby cryin in the smoke along the track
Goodbye so long until I come back home
Youll be my dream
Goodbye so long, theres lots of places that Ive never seen
Ill always be a drifter but Ill be driftin back
To where I left you cryin in the smoke along the track
I like to keep on goin it helps me when Im blue
I get the urge to travel thats all I want to do
I just cant settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blow Ive gotta move along
Goodbye so long theres something down the track keeps callin me
Goodbye so long I guess thats just the way Ill always be
So when I get that feelin dont try to hold me back
Id only leave you crying in that smoke along the track
I know my baby loves me I love my baby too
But he dont understand me when Im feelin blue
And when I hear that whistle blow, I hurry home and pack
And leave my baby cryin in the smoke along the track.
Goodbye, so long, I hate to leave you, but Ive got to go
Goodbye, so long, its coming down just hear that whistle blow
Itll be here in a minute, youll wave and Ill look back
Im gonna leave you cryin in the smoke along the track.
Goodbye so long until I come back home
Youll be my dream
Goodbye so long, theres lots of places that Ive never seen
Ill always be a drifter but Ill be driftin back
To where I left you cryin in the smoke along the track
To where I left you cryin in the smoke along the track

I wish youd tell me, I dont know
Dont know, dont know, dont know, oh no
Dont know, dont know, dont know...
Now Im mumblin and Im screamin
And I dont know what Im singin
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin
I still dont know what Im singin
Were so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
Yeah
Its unintel-ligible
I just cant get it through my skull
Its hard to bargle nawdle zouss(? )
With all these marbles in my mouth
Dont know, dont know, dont know, oh no
Dont know, dont know, dont know...
Well, we dont sound like madonna
Here we are now, were nirvana
Sing distinctly? we dont wanna
Buy our album, were nirvana
A garage band from seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah
And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheets so hard to find
What are the words? oh, nevermind
Dont know, dont know, dont know, oh no
Dont know, dont know, dont know...
Well, Im yellin and were playin
But I dont know what Im sayin
Whats the message Im conveyin?
Can you tell me what Im sayin?
So have you got some idea?
Didnt think so -- well, Ill see ya

Lyrics:klaus meine, herman rarebell, jim vallance
Blackout in london
Just slipn slide
Blackout in london
Im just about to lose my mind
Big time in paris
Times gonna fly
Big time in paris
Its cest la vie for me tonight
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights
Hot shot in dallas
A wild horse to ride
Hot shot in dallas
I dont know how but I survived
Rock hard in rio
Pure sex and crime
Rock hard in rio
Its just too much to take tonight
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights
Restless nights
Restless nights
Red hot in moscow
Turn back the tide
Red hot in moscow
The eagle rocks the bear tonight
Die hard in tokyo
Lexington nights
Die hard in tokyo
I barely made it out alive
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights

Sea Of Faith
Say sayonara darling
this time goodbye
No bon voyage,
it's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck
From the high plains
to the border
All across the land
From the flying of the flag
To lovers kissing hands
You can cover me in roses
put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
no more goodbyes
Sea of faith
where did she go
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow
A street full of whispers,
rings like a chinese gong
A room full of would be's
whose lives have gone wrong
The blues don't exist now
just to cleanse your soul
They were made to wake you up
Not to dig a hole
You can cover me in roses,
put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
no more goodbyes
Sea of faith
where did she go
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow
Solo
Say sayonara darling
this time goodbye
No bon voyage,
it's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck
It's something of a tragedy
It would make you weep
When you kiss your love goodnight
Now I see why lovers leap
You can cover me in roses,
put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
no more goodbyes
Sea of faith
where did she go
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow
Looking at the future
I don't know
I am just here to watch
the river flow
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow
Looking at the future
I don't know
I am just here to watch
the river flow
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow

(dieter bohlen)
Producer for bonnie: dieter bohlen
Recorded in 1994, bonnies last single on the hansa label. this single was to promote the comeback singles collection 90-94. lyrics taken from careful listening.
I dream of home again
A thousand voices call to me
A cry that splits the night
Woke up the soul inside my memories
I chose to walk alone
To search and find my destiny
So many lonesome roads
Lead me away from where I long to be
When I awake and see a cold and empty room
I sit alone and think of places I once knew
The friends that I had loved and left behind
Oh, how could I have been so blind?
Back home
Where all the love is that I need
Where all my family waits for me
Back home
I close my eyes and I can see
Where the river meets the sea
Back home
There is no better place than home for me
cause home is where Ill find my destiny
Im going home again and I just cant wait to see
The folks that I have missed
A mothers tender kiss, so soft, so sweet
Ill hold her in my arms, like Id never let her go
My familys my home and I will tell them that I love them so
Oh I know Ive been away so very long
That I hurt you when I left and I was wrong
And I see that home is where my heart belongs
So hang on heart, cause her I come
Back home
Where all the love is that I need
Where all my family waits for me
Back home
I close my eyes and I can see
Where the river meets the sea
Back home
There is no better place than home for me
cause home is where Ill find my destiny
Back home
Where all the love is that I need
Where all my family waits for me
Back home
I close my eyes and I can see
Where the river meets the sea
Back home
There is no better place than home for me
cause home is where Ill find my destiny
Back home
