Restless Youth
(ian hunter)
Hes much the same as anyone - he dont do what hes told
He got hostile on his school report - and he leaves his mother cold
His father owned a bakery - one day they found him hanged
It aint good to be free in little italy - his sons the leader of the gang
Chorus
Restless youth - restless youth
Restless youth - restless youth
He soon found out he could not work - the money was no good
This child of the city hit the welfare kitty - did some runnin for the hoods
And the logic of the street was such - that everything was bent
Theres a lot of white collars - stealing government dollars - wouldnt notice
Such a little percent.
Chorus
Now I went to his graduation - in some brooklyn overnight jail
He said he was a member of the rockn roll nation - but his face was drawn n pale
They gave him a suspended sentence - n he got straight on the phone
Called a big, big, man with a miami tan n said
Hi Im al capone - the 2nd restless youth
Chorus
Now his first hit came at seventeen - his second was his last
Some dealer ran screaming from the scene - as the bullets whistled past
n the cop that killed him shook his head n said I swear the truth
When I know it was some old, old man n not a restless youth.
Chorus
Now the moral of this story is that all he saw was greed
Legal, illegalities n all them politician thieves
Good people of the u.s.a. if you want your kids to grow
Then check your harvest carefully - dont reap; before you sow
Chorus

Restless
I dont belong to no one
I dont belong at all
Got my face in the corner
Got my back to the wall
And pretty baby Im restless, restless
Restless through and through
Im restless, restless
You look restless too
Im a hair trigger lover
And I cant face up to nothing
Im impatient with the wind
But Im waitin here for somethin

Moving targets, silent screams
Restless city, restless street
Restless you , restless me

And I cant stay warm
I stay out in the street

Restless through and through

Restless Heart
Words & music:amy grant and michael w. smith
On the street it never changes
Theres a chill in the air
Icy people, empty faces
Not a word, not a soul who cares
Do you give up
Have you given in to the lie that a heart never changes
Dont be fooled by what you see there
Another man with another case of
Chorus:
One restless heart
Who never could find love
Too many hurts
To reach out again
How can he know
Love still wants to find him
One restless shell of a man
Dont look away
In a moment his life could be new
Just a moment and love could break through
Oh finally some place to start
For a man with a restless heart
Why the fear then, why the worry
Why the walls holding love inside
When youre needed in the fury
In the fighting to save mens lives
Dont you give up
Dont be giving in to the lie that a heart never changes
If you reach out godll reach in
Bring an end to another case of
Chorus
One restless heart, one restless heart
One restless heart, one restless heart
Hes got to know that love still can find him
Love can reach any man
Dont look away

Just a moment and love could break through
Oh finally some place to start
For a man with a restless heart
Tag:
Dont you look away
Oh never a stranger again
Love has saved a restless man
Finally some place to start
For a man with a restless heart

High
She had said, dont cry
Said it only hurts forever, and all we have is time
And she said, she will never know
So close your eyes, turn down the lights,
And I can start this show
Chorus:
Yeah well I cant sleep, so why believe
If the shades are drawn, then she cant see
So dont look at pride, well there is no other way...no
Dont try to make no sense of this scene, its just between caroline and me
And we keep changing (anyway)
Yeah we can grow like a board on the shore (floor)
She says Im restless just a little more time
Well you know damn well she wants to feel this high
Yeah we knew just who we were
Yeah well who we thought wed try to be
And who its gonna hurt
Oh but if I said, if I was strong at all
Yeah that I wouldnt be with someone else
I know where I bet all

Restless Heart
(coverdale/vandenberg)
Restless heart, restless mind,
Im tired of wasting,
My precious time.
There are times in my life,
I dont know witch way to turn,
When everything I touch
I get my fingers burned...
Dreams to ashes, ashes to dust,
When all that glitters
Is dull with rust...
Restless heart, restless mind,
Im tired of wasting,
My precious time...
Im torn and tattered,
Shattered and worn,
Ive had enough
Trying to live my life
In the eye of the storm...
Every heartache
Leaves a scar on my face,
Somebody reach out
Or throw me a line,
Get me out of this place...
Restless heart, restless mind,
Im tired of wasting, wasting,
My precious time...
Oh, so tired.
Restless heart, restless mind,
Im tired of wasting,
My precious time...
Restless heart, restless mind,
Im tired of wasting, wasting,
All of my precious time...
Restless heart, restless mind,
So Im tired of wasting, wasting,
All of my precious time, time, time
Restless heart...

Restless
Restless mind
Restless heart
Restless soul,
In a restless body
Need some rest.
They all await death
To release them from
Their restless misery.
They’ll fly away
Into nothingness
Leaving behind…
Their lifeless body.

Girls Like You
So you had a little trouble
Back in your home town
Had to leave in a hurry
Before it all came down
So why you broke a promise
Could not be found
Well thats the same old story
Cos Im a lot like you
Its all right with me all the crazy things you do
Chorus:
(lovely) girls like you
(restless) boys like me
We get a little angry, cos weve been lied to
(lovely) girls like you
(restless) boys like me
Never fit in, cos we never try to
Make it with the chosen few, oh no
It was another lost night, on the same old street
Another sidewalk savior, coming after me
Trying to help me jesus, he wont come for free
I see the pavement movin, underneath my feet
I turn to look for you, but you were looking back at me
(lovely) girls like you
(restless) boys like me
Get a little angry, cos weve been lied to
(lovely) girls like you
(restless) boys like me
We never fit in, cos we never try to
Make it with the chosen few, oh no
Sailing on along on a ship full of fools
We never learned how to play by the rules
Learning the hard way that innocent hearts must pay
Said innocent hearts must...
(guitar solo)
We got to stand together, yeah we gotta face the facts
You know the dream they gave us, now they wanna take it back
The future is not ours, we just let it slip away
Girls like you
Girls like you
Girls like you
(restless) boys like me
Never, never try to fit in...

Restless

Vicki
Saw your head turned a bit too far to the right now
Saw the eye go a little spark when she walks by now
But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
Ill leave it up to you
But I wont be tested
(you feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless)
Now Im wondering every time that you hold me
Well, should I question anything you have told me
But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
Ill leave it up to you
But I wont be tested
(you feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless) yeah
I remember when you and I were a nation
I could trust you in any dark situation
But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
Ill leave it up to you
But I wont be tested
(you feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless)

Age considers, youth ventures
Age considers, youth ventures
Age visualizes, youth dreams
Age makes theories, youth experiments
Age loves, youth longs
Age sees people, youth sees places
Age knows belongings, youth discovers them
Age pains to gain, youth gains to others' pain
Age has heart, youth has mind
Age is thoughtful, youth is tactful
Age ponders, youth wonders
Age recounts, youth counts
Age is experienced, youth is in experience
Age is cautious, youth dashes
Age floats, youth swims
Age lives, youth still making a living
Age is in touch with termination, youth with determination
Age is confident, youth is competent
Age adds years to living, youth adds life to living
Age is lost in past, youth is drowned in future
Age is grown, youth is crown
Ageless is youth, youthless is age

Im In The Middle
Dont makes no difference
If you lay down and cry
You know that you lied to me
And if you come to me
With tears in your eyes
Dont say good-bye
Just leave
Chorus:
Cause Im in the middle of something
I dont understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands
Im in the middle of something
I dont understand
And if looks like I lose again
Dont make no difference
What you think of me
You know that Im restless and afraid
And if you love me
I know that you will see
You cant keep me
To the promises that I made
Chorus
Dont make no difference
What you think about me
After all you took me for a ride
Now every night with you
I still seem to find
I just cant keep you satisfied

Youth is blind
Youth is power; youth is vigour;
Youth is initiative; youth is revolutionary;
Youth is dedication; youth is freedom;
Youth is love; youth is passion.
Yes, because youth is blind
Out of them elders make winds

Restless Nights
Wished we ran and lived as one
In another world my little one
Where strange trees and dark rivers run
I told a dream to you
Now outside the streets of pain
And the childhood games we play
Have faded away
But my baby, she has restless nights
She has restless nights
My baby, she has restless nights
On late night movie screens
Young lovers look so sure
Lost in wide awake dreams
That they cant afford
Once I held you in my arms
On a bed of stone
Now we have grown (but darling)
Well my baby she has restless nights
She has restless nights
My baby she has restless nights
Wished we ran and lived as one
A different world my little one
Where strange trees and dark rivers run
I told a dream to you
Now outside the streets of pain
But here inside my heart
It all falls apart
But my baby, she has restless nights
She has restless nights
My baby, she has restless nights
But my baby, she has restless nights
She has restless nights
My baby, she has restless nights\

Don't wanna spend my life saving up for things
Don't wanna have what a steady job brings

Don't wanna stay at home not making any noise

One Step Closer
(graham russell)
I didnt really walk away I had something to explain
Trying to reach you night and day when I did not know your name
Shall we promise just to talk and be alone, all alone
Why cant the voice that said hello at the moment of first sight
Whisper the words I need to know speak to me that way tonight
Let me hear it travel through the restless sky straight from you
Come to me today
Chorus
One step closer forward motion
One step near our destination
How can I bring myself to sleep till Im resting by your side
Sharing the secrets hard to keep when you live them all through the night
And then wake up with the words Ill always want you to say
Come to me today
(chorus)
A lonely man has come undone
Is it wrong to think I understand where you are as close to me
Not much further to go
Let me hear it travel through the restless sky straight from you
Come to me today

Restless Kind
(Michael Henderson)
Well I was born the restless kind
Settlin' down never crossed my mind
Wild and wooly I guess that's me
People sure get nervous when a man is free
I can hold my tongue and I can hold my wine
I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
I've seen the country and I've been to town
Rode in fancy cars with the top rolled down
Comin' down the road like a summer breeze
Whatever it takes I do what I please
I can hold my horses I can hold the line
Yeah I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
Yeah the restless kind
I was born the restless kind
I never assume what I'm gonna find
I can stand my ground I can slip through a crack
But as sure as I leave buddy I'll be back
I can hold my temper I can bide my time
Yeah I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
I can hold my tongue I can hold my wine
Yeah I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
Oh I'm the restless kind
Rough and rowdy restless kind

Goin right through ya

Oh yeah, its there!
Dont underestimate the power
Of a lifetime ahead

We do what comes naturally (naturally!)

Songs from The Beggar’s Opera: Air IV-Cotillion
Act II, Scene iv, Air IV—Cotillion
Youth’s the season made for joys,
Love is then our duty:
She alone who that employs,
Well deserves her beauty.
Let’s be gay
While we may,
Beauty’s a flower despised in decay.
Chorus. Youth’s the season, etc.
Let us drink and sport to-day,
Ours is not to-morrow:
Love with youth flies swift away,
Age is naught but sorrow.
Dance and sing,
Time’s on the wing,
Life never knows the return the spring.
Chorus. Let us drink, etc.
Red Hot
Fight for the black shark
See what evil brings
Cant you see were out for blood
Love from a shotgun
License to kill
Cant you see were out for blood
(pre-chorus)
The kids scream in fright, through the night
Loving every bit with delight
And we blow out our minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth
(chorus)
Red hot, red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot
Shout at the devil
Weve laughed at your wars
Cant you see were out for blood
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Cant you see were out for blood

One Thing
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
Its nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
*Chorus*
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldnt that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
*Bridge*
Even though I know
I dont want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
Repeat Chorus Twice
Repeat Bridge Twice
Repeat Chorus until fade.

Youth
Mood of youth,
Mood of youth,
Eagle-like must seek the blue,
Dauntlessly its course pursue,
All the mountain-heights must view.
Blood of youth,
Blood of youth,
Steam-like puts full-speed to sea,
E'en though storm and ice there be,
Makes its way and romps in glee.
Dream of youth,
Dream of youth,
Rogue-like stealing sets its snare
In the maiden's morning-prayer;
All the springtime, fragrant, glowing,
In its airy waves is flowing.
Joy of youth,
Joy of youth,
Waterfall-like foams in truth,
Laughing, rainbow-gifts forth flashing,
Even while to death 't is dashing.
Joy of youth,
Dream of youth,
Blood of youth,
Mood of youth,
Clothe the world with colors golden,
Singing songs that never olden.
