45
Bells are chiming for victory
Theres a page back in history
45
They came back to the world that they fought for
Didnt turn out just like they thought
45
Here is a song to sing to do the measuring
What do you lose, what do you gain, what do you win?
Nine years later a child is born
Theres a record, so you put it on
45
Nine years more, if were lucky now
Nine-year-old puts his money down
45
Every scratch. every click, every heartbeat
Every breath that I held for you
45
Theres a stack of shellac and vinyl
Which is yours now and which is mine?
45
Repeat chorus
Bass and treble heal every hurt
Theres a rebel in a nylon shirt
But the words are a mystery, Ive heard
Til you turn it down to 33 and 13
Cos it helps with the elocution
Corporations turn revolutions
45
So dont just weep and shed
Just change your name instead
What do you lose when it all goes to your head?
I heard something peculiar said:
Perhaps hes got a shot and now hes dead
45
Bells are chiming and tears are falling
It creeps up on you without a warning
45
Every scratch, every click, every heartbeat
Every breath that I bless
Id be lost, I confess

Ring Out, Solstice Bells
Now is the solstice of the year,
Winter is the glad song that you hear.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Have the lads up ready in a line.
Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.
Join together beneath the mistletoe.
By the holy oak whereon it grows.
Seven druids dance in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.
Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.
Praise be to the distant sister sun,
Joyful as the silver planets run.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.
Ring out those bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.
Ring on, ring out.
Ring on, ring out.

Turn Me Loose
I was born to run,
I was born to dream,
The craziest boy you ever seen,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all.
And I was here to please,
Im even on knees
Makin love to whoever I please,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all.
And then you came around,
Tried to tie me down,
I was such a clown,
You had to have it your way,
Or no way at all.
Well Ive had all I can take,
I cant take it no more,
Im gonna pack my bags and fly......baby,
Or no way at all.
So why dont you turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all.
Why dont you turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
I wanna fly.
Im here to please,
Im even on my knees,
Makin love to whoever I please,
I gotta do it my way,
I gotta do it my way,
And when you came around,
You tried to tie me down,
I was such a clown,
You had to have it your way,
Well Im sayin no way,
So why dont you turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all.
Why dont you turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
Turn me lose,
I gotta do it my way,
I wanna fly.
Repeat
Turn me lose,

Warning Bells
Warning Bells
Reaching for that bottle, your hand on that throttle,
getting ready to ride without a guide,
down that road, that road to hell.
Wake up before it's too late,
before you reach that gate.
Let go of the hate,
think of your mate.
Looking at life through the bottom of a bottle,
hands shaking,
body quaking.
One of these days you won't be waking.
Don't you hear them Warning Bells?
Shatter that bottle on the floor,
turn around, walk out that door,
do it for you. Listen to them Warning Bells.
Only time will tell if you heard,
heard them bells.
Don't find yourself on the floor, anymore,
turn around say no more, walk out that door.
You're off that road that road to hell.
You've heard them Warning, Warning Bells.

If I Could Turn Back The Hand Of Time
How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door
[1] - If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine
Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray please come back to me
[Repeat 1]
And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone, whoa
[Repeat 1]
I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
If I could turn back the hands
There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you
(If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you
(If I could turn back)
If you accept me back in your heart, I love you
(If I could turn back the hands)
(If I could turn back)
That would be my will
(If I could turn back)
Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands
(If I could turn back the hands)
I'm going down, yes I am
(If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee, yeah
(If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
(If I could turn back the hands)
(If I could turn back)
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall
(If I could turn back)
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you
Love you love you love you
(If I could turn back the hands)

Scratch My Back
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
One good turn deserves another
Be my love, Ill be your lover
Its all part of natures laws
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch yours.
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, lets get rid of our itch together, hmm
Joy they say is in the giving
Come on give, make life worth living
Your welfare is my concern
Do a favour for me, Ill do one in return
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, lets get rid of our itch together, hmm
Scratch me now a little lower
What a feeling do it slower
Thats it, hmm youre getting hot
Well I gotta admit, you just hit the spot
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, lets get rid of our itch together, hmm
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch your back

Then She Said
I saw her in one of those cafe houses
Being myself so near
And thought never that nice things hurt
And all ended here
Click, click, click said the man
I remember him so well
He said come on, you got to be careful
Cause her heaven could be your hell
Then she said....then she said
And I dream that she someday might come back
P.s. are her initials and
Sometimes they gonna make me cry
But I dont believe that this is the reason
That I sing p.s. goodbye
5,6,7,8,9,10 this is o.k.with me
And I cry later then
And I dont believe that all colours are gone
Cause the rest is grey and this is better than none
Then she said..... then she said
And I dream that she someday might come back
Then she said
She said rockn roll is really dead
Then she said
Youre never leaving this head

Turn Back
Only the wind sang the words he could hear
Born of the sand washed ashore on a tear
Time wrote the lines on his face like a scroll
Love is a loss to the man with no soul
Chorus:
Run through the darkness he hears - turn back
Theres no survivors, you cant turn back
Dreams keep him turning back the years
(instrumental break)
Raising his sail cast away on his own
Motherless child on a sea all alone
Morpheus calls but they wont lay him down
Creatures of midnight appear with no sound
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Run through the darkness, turn back the years, turn back the years

You Took My Breath Away
You took my breath away
I want it back again
Look at the mess Im in
I dont know what to say
I dont know how to feel
You dont care anyway
All I can do is wait
You took my breath away
You took this song of mine
And changed the middle bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words dont fit
Its getting hard to rhyme
Impossible to play
Ive tried it many times
You took my breath away
One day when the sun is shining
There will be that silver lining
You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I cant see where Im going
I cant tell where Ive been
I dont know how to feel
This hasnt been my day
Seems like Ive lost a wheel
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away

Wedding Bells/lets Turn Back The Years
I got the invitation that you sent me,
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldnt stand to see you wed another
But dear I hope youre happy just the same
I planned a little cottage in the valley,
I even bought that little band of gold
I thought some day Id place it on your finger,
But now the future looks so dark and cold
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else youre walking
Those wedding bells with never ring for me
Darling, lets turn back the years
And go back to yesterday
Lets pretend that time has stopped
And I didnt go away
We had our love to make us happy
Love wasnt meant to bring us tears
Love like ours should never die
So, darling, lets turn back the years
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from and orange tree in your hair
While the organ plays I love you truly,
Just let me pretend that I am there
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else youre walking
Those wedding bells with never ring for me
Those wedding bells with never ring for me

Dont Look Back
Written by cole-yancy-allen
Everyday the population is growing and to find some peace of mind is something rare
Dont you get discouraged keep on going and dont you mind the way that the people turn and stare
Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty and tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good
Dont you know that the world is cold and filthy, aw yes it is, but if youre a special child
They know sometimes youll be misunderstood, (you can never look back)
Yesterday is dead and gone, (dont you look back) your tomorrow is here today
Keep on fighting, a quitter never wins, hold your breath stick out your chin
Count to ten start again, everybody wants to be somebody
But they cant seem to see the forest for the trees, we just cant let our past
Hold back our future, oh, no, no, when its all over but the shouting
Nothing is left but memories, looks like you could use a little bit of happiness
Now I know that its really hard to find, but you owe it to yourself to have the very best
And only a fool will try to catch up to what he has left behind, (you can never look back)
No, no, cause yesterday is dead and gone, (dont you look back) your tomorrow is here today
And when youre crying, you need someone to hold on to
Its not the end of the world my friend, tip your hat, start again
And keep a positive direction, oh, keep your vision straight ahead
You cant lose with the stuff you use, weve come too far just to turn around, oh, oh,
Dont you look back, yesterday is dead and gone (dont you look back)
Your tomorrow is on the way and if youre fighting, people, a quitter never wins
Hold your breath stick out your chin, count to ten, start again, dont you look back
No, no, uh, oh, (dont look back) no cause weve come much too far
Just to turn around, uh, oh, oh, (repeat dont you look back) dont you look back now
Yesterday is dead and gone, dont you look back, your tomorrow is here today
And when youre crying, cause all your friends have forsaken you
Its not the end of the world my friend, just tip your hat start again
Keep on steppin yaul, dont look back, dont turn your head around
Get up, get out on the good foot, keep on fightin, yeah, hold your breath
Stick out your chin, count to ten and start again dont try it
You got to keep on movin yaul, get, get, get up on the good foot

With Bells On
Ill be home with bells on
Ill be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas Ill be home with bells on
Ive traveled around this country crossed the waters deep and wide
Made lots of friends and memories brought joy to others lives
Its christmas time again another year has come and gone
And I cant keep from wonderin how the old folks are at home
Ill be home with bells on
Ill be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas Ill be home with bells on
When the snow is on the meadow and the sleigh bells jingle bright
And the kids are singing jingle bells around the christmas lights
As daddy stokes the fire and mama puts the turkey on
There aint nothing going to slow me down this christmas Ill be home
Ill be home with bells on
Ill be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas Ill be home with bells on

Oh, How The Years Go By
In our times of trouble
We only had ourselves
Nobody else
No one there to save us
We had to save ourselves
And when the storms came through
They found me and you
Back to back together
And when the sun would shine
It was yours and mine
Yours and mine forever
Chorus:
And oh how the years go by
And oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by
There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
But we came around
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now were back on solid ground
We took everything
All our times would bring
In this world of dangers
cause when your heart is strong
You know youre not alone
In this world of strangers
(repeat chorus)
And if we lose our way
Any night or day
Well well always be
Where we should be
Im there for you
And I know youre there for me
(repeat chorus twice)
As the years go by

Spellbound
Why does love hurt so
How do you just know
How to get to me baby
Words arent only words
When theyre from you theyre
Heard
When you say
You really love me
Maybe its a trick
Something doesnt click
Maybe its a spell
That youve got me under
Somethings going down
Turn my world around
I woke up and I found
I was spellbound.
Chorus:
Spellbound
So
Spellbound
So wicked
Spellbound
And your prison
Feels good so
Spellbound
Your kisses
Spellbound
Against my wishes
Spellbound
I wouldnt help it if I could
Metaphysical past the visual
You touch the heart of me
Night turns in to day
Shadows fade away
When you say you
Really love me
Maybe its a trick
Something doesnt click
Maybe its a spell
That youve got me under
Somethings going down
Turn my world around
I woke up and I found
I was spellbound

Maybe its a trick
Something doesnt click

Nothin You Can Do About It
Have you heard the news?
Im doing what I said I would
So now you say
Boy, I always knew you could
My wildest dreams
Murdered by reality
I gave you all I could give to you
But now Im taking back what belongs to me
I read you like a drugstore book
Howd I ever think you were cool
You got no bait left on your hook
Youre no friend and buddy, Im no fool
Chorus:
Aint nothin you can do about it
Aint nothin you can say
Aint nothin you can do about it
No ones gonna stand in my way
Ive done my time
Ive given up my pound of flesh
So why cant the man seem to understand
That Ive already passed the test
You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my spirit give in
But Im here to make a big, big sound
Its your turn to lose and its my turn to win
Repeat chorus
I know you can never go back
Once you turn and walk out that door
Got no time for worries like that

Tried to make my spirit give in
But Im here to make a big, big sound
Its your turn to lose and my turn to win

Heartbeat
I don't wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah.
I met a little cutie back in sixty-
six, She used to tie you up
And beat you with a walking stick.
I said, 'Mama, call a doctor you
must be sick!'
She told me that's the only way I
get my kicks.
I don't wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering.
I been around the world about a
time and again,
I met a little chick in an opium
den.
She put a spell on me that'd freeze
a man,
I said, 'help me, save me', but she
did it again.
I don't wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering,
yeah, ok.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
I met a little lady just yesterday,
Lord, she loves me in a special way.
She put coffee in my tea and she love to say,
'I wanna hold you, I wanna keep you, baby,
Now don't be afraid'.
I don't wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering, yeah.
I don't wanna lose; I don't wanna lose,
I don't wanna lose;
I don't wanna lose myself in love again, yeah.
No, no, lord no.
I don't wanna lose myself in love again,

In The Blink Of An Eye
Hey
Is there something I can do?
You broke your heart in two
Many pieces
Now you gotta put it back again
Now when you're trying to make it through
And you're feeling kinda blue
I'll be there to tell you
That things will change
[CHORUS]
When you turn around
All the tears will dry
Whatever was lost
Will be found
In the blink of an eye
When you're losing ground
Hold your head up high
Whatever was lost
Will be found
In the blink of an eye
Hey I know I should be sinkin deep
I know I ought to weep
Like a baby
But it's really not that bad
Cause when my heart was achin'
When my world was shakin'
You were there to tell me
That things will change
[CHORUS]
I thought my heart was on the mend
Now I'm falling for a friend
Someone who was there
When things were changing
In the blink of an eye
Everything changes
In the blink of an eye
What's lost will be found

When you turn around
All the tears will dry
Whatever was lost will be found
In the blink of an eye

Baby Come Back To Me
Oh yeah
Baby come back to me, remember how it used to be
Paradise is just out of reach
Baby wont you please come back to me
Another night here alone, staring at the telephone
Willing you to make that call, to bring you back where you belong
Its been threee hard weeks, baby the longest nights
I need to hear your voice and feel your soft skin by my side
We said things that we shouldnt have
I take back every word
Dont you know I can turn back time
Its only you that I pay the price
Chorus:
Baby come back to me, remember how it used to be
Without you Im incomplete
I feel the pain with every heartbeat
Baby come back to me, inside Im dying piece by piece
Paradise is just out of reach
Baby wont you please come back to me
The day that we said goodbye, no holding back the tears weve cried
Searching for the reasons why, we let this love just fade and die
All the riches in the world, all the diamonds and the pearls
Id give to send the winds of change to bring you back to me again
Oh say that we can heal this pain, turn the spark into a flame
I know that we can bring it back again
So baby please cant you see Im down on my knees
Chorus
Baby, baby, baby....
Youre in every, every breath I breathe baby (baby, baby, baby)
Youre in every dream I dream baby (baby, baby, baby)
This time will last forever
Give it all a try, each and every day I pray
Oh girl, yes I pray, please come baby
