This Nightlife
(Clint Black - Hayden Nicholas)
Dawn patrol is makin' the rounds
Been goin' at it since the sun went down
I'll be sleepin' it off from
Another night of tyin' one on.
The sun is risin' and I'm layin' low
Been compromisin' my get up and go
And I'll be burnin' it up
Till both ends of the candle are gone.
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
--- Instrumental ---
Out on the town
Like the night before
Just when I thought
I couldn't go one more.
The sun sets down
I get up and do it again
Night lights are callin'
And I can't turn 'em down.
I've been revolvin' on
This merry-go-round for so long
And know where tomorrow starts
And when today'll end.
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
--- Instrumental ---
Lord knows, I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
Lord, this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
Lord, this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me...

Nightlife
Looking through windows like a t.v. screen
Nothing is ever black and white
A sex film distraction for an armchair stud
Hes in love for the night
Looking through windows of expensive cars
This weeks flavour inside
Shes working for the company
Shes in love for the night
Nightlife
Ive seen it all
Nightlife
Like pictures of war
Nightlife
Strangers in bed
Nightlife
Try to forget
Looking through windows like and old peep show
Im listening to breathing and lies
Dont tell mother or the man next door
Girls in love for the night
Looking through windows at a friend of mine
Shes like a knife in my heart
But you can get used to any thing
Im in love for the night

Borderline
Daylights rising across the plains
This rig is streaking like a hellbound train
I smuggle whiskey, I smuggle gin
Where theres a need well I just truck on in
Im a gambling man, son of a gun
Ill take the risks now baby Ill make the run
Wanna get home now, back in the saddle
Aint gonna drive this kinda grade a cattle
Daylights rising across the plains
This rig is streaking like a hellbound train
Albuquerque now, new mexico
This .? ? ? .. one night show, yeah
* (and Im) one step closer to the devil
One step further from the law
Lord I guess Im just on borrowed time
But Im one step closer to the
One step closer to the borderline
18 hours on this one long shift
Wanna hear the sweet sound of my tailgate lift
Lord Im dying out on this road
Wanna see my baby, help me unload
* repeat
[instrumental]
Rolling stock now, shifting steel
Got a woman with a touch to heal
Diesel, dust and my wheels are humming
So close to home, can you feel me coming
* repeat
To the borderline...
To the borderline
[instrumental]
* repeat
To the borderline...
To the borderline...
Wheels are rollin down on home

Colors Of Night
A crumpled layer on the evening tea
Says of a fate long awaited
We find ourselves alone you and me
Without knowing when the daylights fade!
The smell of seasons is still around
The mystic brushes in the sky
The glorious world its beauties abound
We never know when the years pass by!
Still a little place is there warm and bright
That throbs with the colors of night
Without the strength of senses and sights
It pulsates beyond fading daylights!

Heart Of A City
In this city excitement happens everyday,
No two days play out the same,
For the nightlife is cool to the extreme,
Where sometimes gangs play their games,
But most people just congregate in the city's bars,
As they listen to jazz, rock and all kinds of music,
For this is the heart of a city,
And car follows car: sometimes picking up hookers,
Yet usually on their way to the colourful nightlife,
To chat, laugh and dance throughout the night,
And sometimes - yes - there are fights,
But whatever goes on, no one seems to care,
Gangs of girls tottering on their high heels,
And young men drinking beer from cans,
And this is paradise, this is life,
And the city buzzes with people,
All searching for inner truth,
Trying to find somewhere to replace their stolen youth,
But soon the night will turn to morning,
And a vibrant new day will begin,
Lovers untangling themselves in their bedroom sheets,
To shower and drink coffee and orange juice,
Slowly waking from last night's alcoholic spell.

Homeland
Remember that summer down by the shoreline
I still can hear those old forgotten songs
And we made promises to last forever
I just cant believe those days are gone
There used to be a place that we could call our own
We used to think tomorrow was a long , long time
But sadness filled my heart
When I knew the moment had come
When I had to leave those days behind
I felt so free where I wanted to be
The days went so fast how I wish they could last
So far from my homeland Im lost in time
My souls still searchin for that peace of mind
Those sacred landscapes come miles around
And my hearts still beatin for those country grounds
Remember when our hearts were filled with laughter
It echoes in my trail of fallen tears
But no matter where I am today
Or what the future might bring
I will remember those long gone years
I cant let go I wanna know
Does it have to end for the best of friends
So far from my homeland Im lost in time
My souls still searchin for that peace of mind
Those sacred landscapes come miles around
And my hearts still beatin
For those country grounds
Lord I know that those days are gone
Long, long, gone
I felt so free where I wanted to be
The days went so fast how I wish they could last

Don't Let The Sun Go Down
Don't let the sun go down on anger,
For its' darkness will never fade.
Anger eats at the Soul of man,
And sends us early graves.
God's Mercy and Love, shall set one free,
From the bonds of angers wrath.
Taking the scars of all mankind,
Placed in God's hand, for Him to graft.
Don't let the sun go down,
While the daylights still in view.
Forgive your fellow-man their sins,
And letting you sleep anew.

The Heart Of Rock & Roll
New York, New York is everything they say and no place i'd rather be
Where else can you do a half-a-million things, all in a quarter to three?
When they play their music, ooh, that modern music
They pack it with a lot of style
But it's still that same old back-beat rhythm, that really, really drives 'em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old one (?) may be barely breathin'
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
L.A., Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip is somethin' everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls, all dressed so scantily
When they play their music, their hard rockin' music, they pack it with a lot of flash
But it's still that same old back-beat rhythm that really, really gets 'em in the--
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old one (?) may be barely breathin'
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
Johnny! Owww!
(Saxophone Solo)
D.C., San Antonio and the Liberty Town
Boston or Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City
Seattle, San Francisco too,
Everywhere there's music, real live music, bands with a million styles
But it's still that same old rock and roll music, that really, really drives 'em wild
Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old one (?) may be barely breathin'

Baby, let's indulge in things that set our bodies free

Lyrics:klaus meine, herman rarebell
Like it played loud
Powerhouse sounds
My body wants to rock and let it out
Really high born
Morning till dawn
Im going all the way just on and on
Its gonna be wild, its gonna be wild
Its gonna be wild
Now!
Teach me to fly
Wanna stay high
I have to live it up before I die
Nightlife and booze
Girls to choose
Are you ready, baby, come on lets cruise
Its gonna be wild, its gonna be wild
Its gonna be wild
Now!
Getting out of control
Theres nothing that can bring me down
Nothing Ill leave out tonight
Im feeling good, Im living now!
Like it real hot
Never cant stop
Im running down the line to the top
Never stay low
Im on the go
No one holds me back
Its gonna be wild, its gonna be wild
Its gonna be wild
Now!
Its gonna be wild, its gonna be wild
Its gonna be wild
Now! now! now! now! now! now! now!

The Living Daylights
(john barry/ pal waaktaar)
Hey driver, where were going
I swear my nerves are showing
Set your hopes up way too high
The livings in the way we die
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people...Im the one they blame
Ive been waiting long for one of us to say
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
In the living daylights.
All right, hold on tighter now
Its down, down to the wire
Set your hopes way too high
The livings in the way we die
Comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain
Hundred thousand changes...everythings the same
Ive been waiting long for one of us to say
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
In the living daylights.
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people...Im the one they frame
In the living daylights.

Honky Tonk Night Time Man
(merle haggard)
Little bit of bakersfield
Im a honky tonk night time man
I cant stand no light
Im a honky tonk night time man
I cant stand no light
I get my rest in the day time
Do my runnin around at night
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
Well I wish a tornado
Come and blow my blues away, away
Thats what I said, take em away
Sounds like roy
Yeah
And then my heart starts beatin
When that sun starts sinkin low
Well my heart starts beatin
When that sun starts sinkin low
When the shadows fall
I know its time for me to go
Billy powell on piano
Oh barry, play me some dobro
Im a honky tonk night time man
I cant stand no light
Im a honky tonk night time man
I cant stand no light
I get my rest in the day time
I do my runnin around, round at night
I get my rest in the day time
Gets that old love sweet stuff at night

Stay Hungry
I think that we can signify our love now,
Ooh girl, you can initiate an impulse of love.
Stay hungry, stay hungry, stay hungry
Move a muscle, move a muscle, move a muscle.
Make a motion, make a motion, make a motion.
Pull it tighter, pull it tighter, pull it tighter.
Double beatin, double beatin, double beatin
Double beatin, double beatin, double beatin
Palpitation, palpitation, palpitation.
Stay hungry, stay hungry, stay hungry.
Heres that rhythm again.
Heres my shoulder blade.
Heres the sound I made.
Heres the picture I saved.
Here I am.

Fashion Butterfly
You dress up your clothes like a butterfly,
Girl, you've got style,
As you strut your stuff on the beach,
In the office, in the car,
In nightclubs and in bars,
Where you get merry,
And kiss all the boys,
Having fun as you play them like toys,
For you sparkle like pink champayne,
And just enjoy your nights,
The nightlife keeping you up until the morning light,
The sunshine hurting your eyes,
As you slip on black sunglasses,
For today is going to be a cooker,
As you travel uptown to be a star,
And shop for all those beautiful, colourful clothes,
That leave you shining at night,
For you are a fashion butterfly,
And a beautiful sight.

And The Children Laughing
Ah......
Well, I been working up a fever trying to
Straighten up the mess in my mind about this place
I cant contain myself anymore
Cant you see its written all over my face
Why dont you get on your feet
Its about time you got to think
What ever happened to peace
Well open your eyes and youll see children laughing,
Voices singin ,hearts a-beatin ah.....
Your always talkin right and talkin about
The world and its corruption and moral decay
But what you gonna do about it , nothing ,
cause youre more like children then children while they play
Why youre so clean through and through you wont shake hands
With a negro whos maybe cleaner then you
Well listen around and youll hear children laughin ,
Voices singin , hearts a-beatin like they always do
So whats wrong with you , ah...
Youre so blown up with anger about the world
You write the songs about
Yet you dont even know your neighbors name
Now you want to go the the moon and live there
When you know itll only end up the same
How can he give you any gratitude,
With your endless sickenin attitude
You strive to get ahead
But you leave each other dead
Cant you see , children laughin ,
Voices singin , hearts beatin like they always do
So whats wrong with you , ah...
Children laughin , voices singin hearts beatin
Children laughin , voices singin , (fade)

Kinda like an indian beatin on his mandolin
Lucky paul and his asian friend,
Smilin back from the place theyre in.
Heros mother hides in austin waitin for a loan
Preachers teachers boogie down in saigon,
Tryin to make it on their own.
Injun ladies with their cement hair,
Snub ulysses on the stair
I believe hes up there sellin kitchen wares,
Tryin to make it back to sweden.
Ah, kinda like an indian beatin on his mandolin

Glad to see you on the mend,
Oh, miss nickelodeon,
Guess you got the stuff I could not send,
Roll it over again.

A magic boy, his dog and me.
On a run to eternity
Not carin what its costin.
Oh, kinda like an indian beatin on his mandolin

Smilin back from the place theyre in.

A professor, quite brilliant but odd
loved the nightlife, the dirty old sod.
In the day he was thinking
and at night he was drinking.
In between he would pray to his God.

On More Saturday Night
One More Saturday Night
-----------------------
I went down to the mountain, I was drinkin' some wine,
looked up in the heavens Lord I saw a mighty sign,
written in fire across the heavens, plain as black and white;
Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight.
Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night!
Yeh, uhuh one more Saturday night,
Hey saturday night !
Everybody's dancin' down the local armory
with a basement full of dynamite and light artillery.
The temperature keeps risin', everybody gittin' high;
come the rockin' stroke of midnite, the place is gonna fly.
Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night!
Yeh, uhuh one more Saturday night,
Hey saturday night !
Turn on channel six, the President comes on the news,
says "I get no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues."
These wives, they don't get crazy, Lord, they know just what to do,
crank up that old Victrola, put on them rockin' shoes.
Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night!
Yeh, uhuh one more Saturday night,
Hey saturday night !
When God way up in Heaven, for whatever it was worth,
thought He'd have a big old party, thought He'd call it planet Earth.
Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes,
when the rock and roll music meets the risin' shinin' sun.
Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night!
Yeh, uhuh one more Saturday night,
Hey saturday night !
Hey another Saturday night,
Hey another Saturday night,
Everybody gettin' right,
Hey another Saturday night,
One more saturday, one more Saturday night,
Hey another Saturday night,
Hey another Saturday night,
Hey another Saturday night,
One more saturday, one more saturday night.
Hey another Saturday night,
Hey another Saturday night,
Hey another Saturday night,
One more saturday, one more saturday night
