The Angel & The Gambler
(harris)
Roll of the dice
Take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now
So how do you feel
But youre not gonna win
Youd better go back again
Do you feel lucky
Or do you feel scared
Take what luck brings
And be devil may care
But youre down on your luck
What will the next day bring
Adrift on the ocean
Afloat in a daydream
Or lost in a maze
Or blind in the haze
So what does it matter
So why dont you answer
So why did you send
An angel to mend
Best make decisions
Before its too late
Take all your chances
Take hold of the reins
A roll of the dice
Ahead of the game again
Nothing to lose
But so much to gain
A little danger
It goes without saying
But what do you care
Youre gonna go in the end
Gate open to heaven
Is ready and waytnig
Or straight down to hell
Can go there as well
Ill suffer my craving
My souls not worth saving
Sowhy dont you go
Just leave well alone
Dont you think Im a savior
Dont you think I could save you
Dont you think I could save your life
Theres like a hunger
That knocks on your door
Youve had a taste of it
Still you want more
Youve made your mistakes
Wont play it the same again
You have been warned
But still you plunge in
You play high stakes
But theres nothing to win
Youve only one life
And so many things to learn
The angel on one side
The devil the other
Which path do you take
Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads
You know where youre going
And what if you wait
It may be too late

Wotcha Gonna Do
Written by ricki, kim & marty wilde
I couldnt believe what I read when I got your letter
Said you needed to take some time to work out your life, yeah
Well, its easy for you to just go off and do what you want
Any time you please
Dont expect me to wait
If you leave its too late
Youre gonna have to crawl back on your knees
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Wotcha gonna do
I knew youd been feeling the need to just change direction
But I didnt know you were gonna walk away from me, no
Now youre out on your own cos you think youve outgrown
All the things that you left behind
But its crazy to see
Cos you know without me
Youre gonna end up losing more than you find
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Yeah, yeah
Now dont be a fool on yourself
Cos youve got so much to lose
And I really love you baby
Dont you know that I do, yeah
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Now youre down and so far away
Now youre down and so far away
Now youre down and so far away from home
Wotcha gonna do
How ya gonna feel

If Youre Not Gonna Love Me Right
(m.seward)
Hey, oh
Hey yeah
Hey baby, hey baby
The phone is ringing
And Im running late
Ive no time to get it
coz Im expecting you at eight
Heard your voice on the message
Im surprised you called
Said youre all tied up
And you aint comin at all
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, oh
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
At all
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
At all
Another box of roses outside on my porch
Twelve long excuses none of them stop the hurt
Wheres this going, do you really care?
Is this real love, I dont know anymore I swear
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Baby dont make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, yeah
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Oh baby
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
I really want you, oh baby
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna love me right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby just make me crazy
Baby, I want you here
If youre not here it makes me feel like
I cant trust you
You make me crazy if you really love me
You see
Oh, I get confused when you hold me next to you
I wanna go further, oh baby yes I do
I just cant hold on to something that wont last
So wed better slow down, and maybe not go so fast
Maybe not go so fast
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
(if youre not gonna love me right)
If youre not gonna love me
Baby dont love me, baby dont love me, baby dont love me
If youre not gonna love me right
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby, dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby, dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy

(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me

Are You Still Having Fun?
You are on your own
You do as you please
Having so much fun
Gone and lost your reason
After all is said and done
Are you still having fun?
How were you to know when youve gone astray?
That happiness would go like a lost emotion
You have always gone your way
Are you happy today?
Well you know when youve been defeated
You dont care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are youre having fun
You dont know what is it youve done
You dont know that...
This was your mistake with the master plan
With all the drugs you take, you can hardly stand
After all is said and done
Are you still having fun?
Well, you know when youve been defeated
You dont care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are youre having fun...
Are you still having fun?
You dont know what it is youve done
Just to show that youre having fun
You dont know what it is youve done
Just to show that...
I can set you straight if you let me stay
I hope Im not too late
No you wont regret it
I can show you the way
And make you happy today
Yes, you know when youve been defeated
You dont care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Well, you know when youre being cheated
Yes, you know when youve been defeated
Feeling low you will always need it
Now you*re having fun...
And are you still having fun?
Are you still having fun?
Are you still having

If You Dont Like Rock Roll
Youd never know there was some music playin
Until you talked your way inside the door
And then a sound like rollin thunder
Begins to push you right thru the floor
And theres a great white sign
With big black letters
That just about explains it all
If you dont like rock n roll
Well, if you dont like rock n roll
If you dont like rock n roll
Then its too late now
Well its too late now
Hey hey
Of course there was the usual lady
And she was dressed the way the stories tell
So bein cool I made a move to grab her
But you could see she read story well
And then she whipped out a card
With big black letters
That just about explained it all
Well if you dont like rock n roll
If you dont like rock n roll
Well if you dont like rock n roll
Then youre too late now
Then youre too late now
Well, if you dont like rock n roll
Well, if you dont like rock n roll, yeah
If you dont like rock n roll

If you dont like my rock n roll

Do I Have To?
(tennant/lowe)
-----------------
I dont care what youve said, and I mean it
I dont care what youve shared, cause Ive seen it
Whos to judge if youre wrong? this is a bad time
Just as long as you break his heart and not mine
Tell him youre a liar, tell him Im a saint
Say its much too early, or just too late
Tell him that youre weak, beg him to be strong
Say youre very sorry but you were wrong
Do I have to? dont say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? dont say!
Do I need to love you?
Its a fatal mistake, and you know it
That youre dying to make; youll pay for it
Its already too late, go on, admit it
Tell him its a problem, tell him its too hard
Say youve phoned your best friend and scotland yard
Swear that therell be murder, tell him that Im ill
Say you know its blackmail, but that dont kill
Do I have to? dont say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? dont say
That I need to love you?
Do I have to? oh, dont say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? dont say
Do I need to love you?
I know what you assume about me
I hurt, but do I have to bleed?
Do I have to? dont say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? dont say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? dont say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? dont say
That I need to love you?
Do I have to?
Do I have to?
Dont say
Do I have to?
Love you?

Born To Run
Youre back to win
To start again
Searching for the power
That youve had before
The tables turned
Mistakes youve made
Stop telling lies - no angeleyes
Just look straight ahead
Dont be afraid to roll the dice
Open up your eyes
So hit the road and memorize
Youre not for sale
Youre born to run
So take it from the start
You know youre born to run
Dont lose your heart
Now youre calling the shots
So youd better watch out
Dont you understand you cant deny
What you have done before
But dont you know
Your time will come
Forget the past - just head out
Head out for your aims
And in the end youll see the light
Tearing up the night
So let it shine and realize
Youre not for sale
Youre born to run
So take it from the start
You know youre born to run
Dont waste your time and realize that youre
Youre born to run

You know youre born to run
Dont waste your time and realize that youre
Youre born to run

Ace In The Hole
Chorus:
Youve got to have an ace in the hole
A little secret that nobody knows
Life is a gamble a game we all play
But you need to save something for a rainy day
Youve got to learn to play your cards right
If you expect to win in life
Dont put it all on the line for just one roll
Youve got to have an ace in the hole
If youre headed down a one way street
And youre not sure its the way you wanna go
In money or love or all the above
Have a little more than what you show
No matter what you do
No matter where you go
Youve got to have an ace in the hole
Chorus
Dont put it all on the line just for one roll
Youve got to have an ace in the hole
No matter what you do
No matter where you go
Youve got to have an ace in the hole

Who Do You Think You Are
Written by ricki & kim wilde
A long time ago you promised yourself
Theyre all gonna know me someday
Well you got what you wanted
But look at you now
You lost something good on the way
So where did it go
Tell me where did it go
But you wouldnt know
Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You dont care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now youve come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
Now everything seems to be going your way
And everyone loves what they see
But you ruin it all with the things that you say
So tell me how does it feel
When youre all alone
How does it feel
Youre alone
Nothing is real
Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You dont care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now youve come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You cant see youve become
All the things you despise
But I know who you are
And youve gone too far
Just who do you think you are ?
You can keep all your dreams
But you dont have to lose yourself
Cos one day youre gonna break
When the face in the mirror
Looking back at yous
A stranger that you cant place
Just who do you think you are ?
Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You dont care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now youve come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You cant see youve become
All the things you despise
But I know who you are
And youve gone too far
Just who do you think you are ?

Crush em
Enter the arena and hit the lights
Step up now youre in for a ride
This is war, aint no fun and games
We get it up, you go down in flames
Party time, going down
You better not mess us around
The stakes are rich, take a hit or stay
The price is high, someones gonna pay
Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way Im coming through
Roll the dice dont think twice
And we crush, crush em
Looking for trouble, now youve found it
Youre a drum and were gonna pound it
Last one standing wins the fight
Hear us scream and shout all night
Down on the floor and eat the grit
This is gonna hurt a little bit
Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way Im coming through
Roll the dice dont think twice
And we crush, crush em
Now we lay you down to rest
Youll never be more than second best
Step inside youre in for a ride
And we crush, crush em
Dont need reason, dont want names
Just a john doe to put to shame
Step aside let me explain
The name of the game is pain
Now weve found you
Were gonna pound you
Were gonna beat you
Gonna defeat you
Were gonna bust you
Were gonna crush you
Were gonna crush em

You Dont Have To Act Tha
Written by: myles goodwyn
You act like someone else and I dont know why
You try to pretend youre hurt but you wont cry
And I dont believe the things that you told me

And all your friends have lost their way
And you dont know who you can turn to
Its been such a long, long way girl
And I know what youve been through
So you dont have to act that way, tonite
You dont have to act that way tonite
People misunderstand you when its not right
Im gonna hold your hand and make you feel nice
Im gonna show you all that love can be
Ill always be around when you need me
Look into my eyes and smile for me
Ill hold you in my arms youll see
All it takes is one on one and that can be
Enough for some
So you dont have to act that way tonite
You dont have to act that way tonite
So you dont have to act that way tonite
You dont have to act that way tonite
Its alright
Its alright
You dont have to say youre sorry
Id never turn your words around
Be yourself now dont be lonely
You know Id never let you down
Tell me what youve been goin thru
Im trying to understand and get to know you
You can believe the things that Im sayin
Put all your trust in me and what youre feelin
All your friends have lost their way
And you dont know who you can turn to
Its seems such a long long way
And I know what you been through
So you dont have to act that way tonite
You dont have to act that way tonite

Go & Tell Him
I dont care about your mans reputation.
I dont care what you say about him.
All I know is youre some kind of woman,
And, it wont be tonight,
But, girl, youre gonna give in.
Go and give him his walking papers.
Tell him things that he never knew.
Dont you hear what your new mans saying, girl?
Dont you know what youve got to do now?
Go and tell him you cant see him again.
Go and tell him you cant see him again.
You cant say that you dont think about me late at night, lying in your bed.
Stirring the soup
And you start to think about the times that we had
And the times that I said now.
Go and tell him you cant see him again.
Go and tell him you cant see him again.
I dont care about your mans reputation.
I dont care what your mans gonna do.
You can tell that youre gonna come running, baby.
I can tell that youre gonna come soon.
Go and tell him you cant see him again.
Go and tell him, nah, you cant see him again. (you cant see him right now)
Go and tell him you cant see him again.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
I said, go and tell him that you are gone.
Go, you can tell.
Go and tell him girl.
Let him know youre coming home with me tonight.
Oh, oh, oh.

School
I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Dont forget your books, you know youve got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like johnnie - too-good, well dont you know he never shirks
- hes coming along!
After school is over youre playing in the park
Dont be out too late, dont let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what lifes about
And grow up just like them - wont you let it work it out
- and youre full of doubt
Dont do this and dont do that
What are they trying to do?
- make a good boy of you
Do they know where its at?
Dont criticise, theyre old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Dont want the devil to
Come out and put your eyes
Maybe Im mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe Im just crazy, I dont know wrong from right
But while I am still living, Ive just got this to say
Its always up to you if you want to be that
Want to see that
Want to see that way
- youre coming along!

Dont You
I could tear your walls down as I chip at who you are now
Dont you
You ever let me know how
And I could break your heart down as I tell you that youve burned out
Dont you
You want to let it go
Oh, I might scream and shout now as I feel you pressing down on
Dont you
You walk upon my heels now
You walk on
And I should call your soul out but I feel Ive gained control now
Dont you
You tell me what to do as you
You twist and turn your thoughts around
Oh, this road its getting long
Stones, dont you
Theyre getting harder and youre slipping slowly further
Youre slipping slowly further
Youre slipping further than youve been before
But I dont need to know how
And I dont need to blow out your candle
Its only burning at both ends
But your moods they wash away
No need to dose your eyes today
You just take your
Your deeper breath youre going
Your deeper breath youre going
Under this time
Its under this time
You, youve got to go now
Wont you, youve got to go not
And dont you, you know it
Dont you, you know it
Youve got to go now
Dont you, youve gotta go now

Fallen Angel
If youve never had no one
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you never been no where
Take the word of a fallen angel
If youve ever been lonely
Take the word of a fallen angel
You know youre not the first to fall
And you know you wont be the last
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one whos gonna crash.
When you think you cant go on
Look around for a fallen angel
When you feel youre the lost one
Look around for a fallen angel
When youre hurtin for someone
Look around for a fallen angel
You know youre not the first to fall
And you know you wont be the last
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one whos gonna crash
Dont you think its time to show
Dont you think its time we know
Whats in your heart
Theres a lesson to be learned
Take the word of a fallen angel
Theres a song for every heart
Take the word of a fallen angel
When you find out where you are
Dont you know youre a fallen angel
If youve never had no one.

Undecided
First you say you do
And then you dont
And then you say you will
And then you wont
Youre undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Now you want to play
And then its no
And when you say youll stay
Thats when you go
Youre undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Ive been sitting on a fence
And it doesnt make much sense
cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
Then you promise to return
When you dont
I really burn
Well, I guess Ill never learn
And I show it
If youve got a heart
And if youre kind
Then dont keep us apart
Make up your mind
Youre undecided now

Devil doll..........devil doll
We went steady in the fall,
We broke up in the spring
Your young lovin blinds,
And you gave me back my ring
Well I see now what my friends saw then,
That youre just not the one
To love someone true
The way I love you,
Oh devil doll
Now Im not the first one
And I wont be the last,
Youll make my heart
Just another heart youve broken in the past
Dont play a game with another guy,
Dont make me feel so blue,
Im a guy thats true and I love you
Oh devil doll
Now Im not the first one
Dont let me be the last,
Dont make my heart

Dont play a game with another guy,
Dont make me feel so blue,

The London Boys
Cow bell strikes another night
Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache
Youve bought some coffee, butter and bread
You cant make a thing cause the meters dead
You moved away
Hold your folks youre gonna stay away
Bright lights, soho, wardour street
You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet
Somebody shows you round
Now youve met the london boys
Things seem good again, someone cares about you
Oh, the first time that you tried a pill
You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill
Youre gonna be sick, but you mustnt lose faith
To let yourself down would be a big disgrace
With the london boys, with the london boys
Youre only seventeen, but you think youve grown
In the month youve been away from your parents home
You take the pills too much
You dont give a damn about that jobs youve got
So long as youre with the london boys
A london boy, oh a london boy
Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy
A london boy, a london boy
You think youve had a lot of fun
But you aint got nothing, youre on the run
Its too late now, cause youre out there boy
Youve got it made with the rest of the toys
Now you wish youd never left your home
Youve got what you wanted but youre on your own
With the london boys
Now youve met the london boys
Now youve met the london boys
Now youve met the london boys

Oh Teacher
(b. gibb/r. gibb/m. gibb)
Every season of my life
People say it, she go far
I exceeded what as needed
Dont you wanna know what I came here for
Turn the lights way down
I will find you somewhere in the dark
Im lying with you, youre lying with me
I wanna to show you what I know so far
By doing it right
Im working on my design
Im making love with a friend of mine
I wanna do it, Ill get you through it
Theres nothing to it
You wont be leaving me without a star
Oh teacher, you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher you got the best time, the last time
But this time youre gonna get burned
Oh teacher, you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher,youve got the first time, the last time
But this time youre gonna get burned
Walk, think, act
As the book to you defines
Reach out for the one you love
It may be someone you left behind
Youre the reason that I breathe
Youre the savior of my nights
Did I leave you without a lover
But Ill never let you out of sight
Youre gonna be mine
Ive got a wider range
We keep the system but the rules may change
My lips are wetter, I do it better
And if you let me I will help you grow
Baby, dont say no
Oh teacher, you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher, youve got the best time, the last time
But this time youre gonna get burned
Oh teacher, you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher, youve got the first time, the last time
But this time youre gonna get burned
Talk, move, smile
Do it right
We know the way
Watch out for the danger lies
In any game that you wanna play
In any game
Oh teacher, you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher, youve got the best time, the last time
But this time youre gonna get burned
Oh teacher, you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher, youve got the first time, the last time
But this time youre gonna get burned

Better Be True
I dont mind you playing with my imagination
I dont mind you talking about me and you
I might think its funny if youre fooling with my money
But I dont like you saying things that just arent tru
I dont mind discussing wisdom & youth
And I dont mind you cussing if youre telling the truth
You can joke about the weather on a lousy day
But dont tell me that youre leaving if youre planning to stay
Well it dont have to be different it dont have to be true
If you got something to tell me it better be true
It dont have to be clever between me and you
If its gonna be forever it better be true
I dont mind rehearsing though Id much rather play
I dont mind conversing if youve got something to say
A little exaggeration might be understood
But lying to me darling just aint no good.
If you feel like telling me that you will never leave me
Dont you dare deceive me cause that will never do
Well it dont have to be different it dont have to be true
If you got something to tell me it better be true
It dont have to be clever between me & you
If its gonna be forever it better be true

Hand Me Down
Whatever I know too much
You wont be anyone
Now tell me what you are thinking of
How could think youd be enough
Its not that youve stayed too long
Its not that youve done something wrong
Its not your fault
But you embarrass yourself
Hand me down
Its better when youre not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you will never make us proud
Youve been used by a army of cues
Youve been touched by the lips of a queen
Now weve all made good use of you
But you wont be needed again
So dont you move and let someone else in
Make some room for a new harlequin
Its never enough
So dont disappoint us again
Hand me down
Its better when youre not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you wont ever make us proud
Hand me down
Its better when youre not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you could never make us proud
Hand me down
So look at you with your worn out shoes
Livin proof evolutions through
Were stuck with you
This revolutions due
Hand me down
Its better when youre not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you could never make us proud
Hand me down
Its better when youre not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you wont ever make us proud
song performed by by Wallflowers
