The Late Show
Everyone Ive ever known has wished me well
Anyway thats how it seems, its hard to tell
Maybe people only ask you how youre doing
cause thats easier than letting on how little they could care
But when you know that youve got a real friend somewhere
Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear
Now to see things clear its hard enough I know
While youre waiting for reality to show
Without dreaming of the perfect love
And holding it so far above
That if you stumbled onto someone real, youd never know
(youd never know)
You could be with somebody who is lonely too
(sometimes it doesnt show)
He might be trying to get across to you
(words can be so slow)
When your own emptiness is all thats getting through
There comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking
I passed that point long ago
(long ago)
Now Im so tired of all this circling
And all these glimpses of the end
(you know its useless to pretend)
Thats all the voices say:
Youll go right on circling
Until youve found some kind of friend
i saw you through the laughter and the noise
You were talking with the soldiers and the boys
While they scuffled for your weary smiles
I thought of all the empty miles
And the years that Ive spent looking for your eyes
(looking for your eyes)
And now Im sitting here wondering what to say
(that you might recognize)
Afraid that all these words might scare you away
(and break through the disguise)
No one ever talks about their feelings anyway
Without dressing them in dreams and laughter
I guess its just too painful otherwise
Look--
Its like youre standing in the window
Of a house nobody lives in
And Im sitting in a car across the way
(lets just say)
Its an early model chevrolet
(lets just say)
Its a warm and windy day
You go and pack your sorrow
The trash man comes tomorrow
Leave it at the curb and well just roll away

You're Not Free
I remember you like it was yesterday
Remember the time you said youd find me
I remember the songs that you used to play
I hear them still and it reminds me
My runaway you know youve gone wrong for so long
So glamorus at the outset
Now youre almost done
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Prayin to God
Youve broken the chains
One day youll look back
And think of my name
All of your friends
Pretend youre the best
They run you around
But they could care less
Theyll never see
How good it could be
No man like me
Theyll never know
Just where it could go
You think youre free
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
You stumbled
And you still dont see it
The losers always think they can win
Youre never gonna wannabelieve it
You think youre gone
But I see ya yeah
Youre not free

If You Belonged To Me
Waltzing round the room tonight
In someone elses clothes
Youre always coming out of things
Smelling like a rose
You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much misery
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
You say lets go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fall
Sometimes it seems to me youve
Got no sympathy at all
You keep on going on and on about how youre so free
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
It aint easy to get to you
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For only one moment of each day
Youre saying that youre all washed up
Got nothing else to give
Seems like you never figured out
How long you have to live
You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddys knee
Oh how happy you would be
If you belonged to me
The guy your with is a ruthless pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up his nose
You look so sad, youre going so mad, any fool can see
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

Whenever Youre Ready
Little one done run out of money now
No, it doesnt seem to have a home
Left to fend for yourself in the wilderness
Out there living life all alone
Whenever youre ready
You could see a dream come true
Whenever youre ready
Im just saying its up to you
Whenever youre ready
Things could start looking up
Whenever youre ready
Take a big sip from the loving cup
Making that face carved out of stone
Coping real hard with a losing hand
Sound of a dog choking on a chicken bone
It just cant be the way that you had things planned, my friend
Whenever youre ready, yeah yeah
Things could start to happen real fast
Whenever youre ready, my good friend
Sure we could get one built to last
Whenever youre ready
Oh we could get it done today
Whenever youre ready
Sure enough you could come out and play
Cold, hot, ready or not
Whatever youve got
What have you got to lose, my good friend?
Whenever youre ready
Whenever youre ready, my good friend

Edge Of Your Atmosphere
Lets get to the point
Everything you have
You dont want
All you seem to do is whine for more.
You never hear a word i say
I wonder what motivates your selfish intuition
To get your way.
All the games you play
Makes everybody run away
Im sitting here just waiting
For you to come around.
So why you always think that im so retarded
Standing on the edge of your atmosphere?
You have everything that youve ever wanted
But your lifes not full, And youre miserable.
Where do we go from here?
Its getting really hard to justify
Your intolerable behaviour
Or is it me?
My attempts to break the ice
Just depends on a roll of the dice
Can you help me understand
What is it you fear?
Please tell me why,
All the games you play
Makes everybody run away
Im sitting here just waiting
For you to come around.
So why you always think that im so retarded
Standing on the edge of your atmosphere?
You have everything that youve ever wanted
But your lifes not full, And youre miserable.
Look at all the things you have said and done
I cant feel sorry for you anymore
Its only fair to say that your prescence i hold dear
So im sorry im still here.
All day and night
All we do is fight
Doesnt matter who is wrong or right.
So why you always think that im so retarded
Standing on the edge of your atmosphere?
You have everything that youve ever wanted
But your lifes not full, And youre miserable.
Look at all the things you have said and done
I cant feel sorry for you anymore
Its only fair to say that your prescence i hold dear
So im sorry im still here.

Born To Run
Youre back to win
To start again
Searching for the power
That youve had before

Mistakes youve made
Stop telling lies - no angeleyes

Open up your eyes
So hit the road and memorize

Head out for your aims
And in the end youll see the light
Tearing up the night

Dont waste your time and realize that youre

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?

Going Nowhere Somehow
Take a look at where youre going
Do you know where you come from?
Seems like youve spent your life just
Searching, in the length of just one song
But you know youre going nowhere
Like so many of your age
This has gone on far too long now
To be dismissed as another phase
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that youre still young and
Unaware. but everyone that you lack
Weighs upon your mind, when shes not there
I dont want to break your heart,
I dont want to let you down
Its just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow.
Now your friends are disappearing
Theyre getting scarcer day by day
Youve only got yourself to blame for
That, you always wanted things that way
Cos its easier being lonely
Than being let down again and again
When youre standing on edge of
Things, it means you never have to pretend.
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that youre still young and
Unaware. but everyone that you lack
Weighs upon your mind,
When shes not there
I dont want to break your heart
I dont want to let you down
Its just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow.

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

A Different Point Of View
(tennant/lowe)
----------------------------
When Im sitting so close to you
Theres only one thing that I wanna do
But I know what youre likely to say
That Im going about it the wrong way
We cant agree about anything
Where to go or even where weve been
And I know what youre likely to do
Say that Ive never cared about you
And all I wanted to say was that I love you
But you tell me now you dont believe its true
You got a different, a different
A different point of view
You got a different
Point of view
You dont believe a single word I say
If Id say black was white, youd say it was grey
But in spite of being treated this way
I still dream of you all night and day
And all I wanted to say was that I love you
But you tell me now you dont believe its true
You got a different, a different
A different point of view
You got a different
Point of view
Just this once
Just say yes
Please
Youve got a clever way of haunting me
Im never scared, but youre still daunting me
cause I know what youre likely to say
And I know that youll get your own way
And all I wanted to say was that I love you
But you tell me now you dont believe its true
You got a different, a different
A different point of view
You got a different
Point of view
You got a different, a different

On my own

When we were alone

Rock and roll all night

Be there when the

Lets Be Friends
(words & music by arnold - morrow - martin)
Dont be afraid, you and I were made the same little one
And I know what its like when you feel left out of the game little one
But if you take this helping hand that I lift
Then we can smile together, lets be friends
The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you
The night may be dark but hope very hard and dreams can come true
You live in silence but for once lets pretend
Were talking here together, lets be friends
Youre not alone, Ive always known that wed get along
And someone I know says life is good and he cant be wrong
Theres fun and laughter just waiting round the bend
Lets find them now together, lets be friends
Lets find them now together, lets be friends

A Friend
Some say that friendships should be a lifetime thing,
The time that turns the season builds trust and gives us strength
A friends a friend forever, until the end of time
Through the good and the bad, a friend will be by your side
CHORUS
If youre looking for a friend
Youve found a friend in me
Not just for tomorrow
But throughout eternity
If youre looking for a friend
You can always count on me
Not just for the moment
But for all eternity
A friend is one who listens, always there for you
A yes when theres a no, a dont when they say do
Someone wholl forgive you, and never turn away
Arms of love that wont let go when you are afraid
CHORUS
If the sun doesnt ride tomorrow
And the word never turns again
My heart will never feel sorrow
For I know that always the Lord is there
If youre looking for a friend
Youve found a friend in me
I will be your friend
Till eternity

Youve grown so deep inside of me
Youre everything I feel and see
And youre the one, youre the one I love
All my life, all my love
I can feel when youre beside me
All thats right, all thats wrong
Suddenly becomes so clear
My heart has overtaken me
With feelings you awake in me
And youre the one, youre the one I love
Only you could move me enough to believe in love one more time
All I need to know for tomorrow is that youre mine
Mine for a lifetime
If our friends all around
Find it hard to understand us
You and I understand the other one so very well
And thats what Ive been looking for
So I keep coming back for more

Youre the one, youre the one I love

Your Eyes
Youre not in control
when theres demands put on your heart

cause when its real you fall to hard
and yet even so
you try to play like nothings wrong
no you cant run away
there is no hiding place
cause you cant run from your heart
Chorus:
Your eyes they tell me secrets that you
you cant deny
your eyes they show me feelings that you
hold deep inside
how would I know the secrets

cause when I look in your eyes
the truth is alive
I knew youd be mine
So now that its on

there is no hiding place
youve gotta be true to your heart
Chorus
now that youre all turned out
dont you just love the way that it feels

Now you cant do without my love
and you know its for real
now why youd deny yourself
Id never, never, never understand

and you love me too
and that just the way that it is yeah
Chorus (2 times)

Bad Loser
Written by christine mcvie.
Well you thought you had a hold on me
But its different now
Everything you done before has fell upon you now
Are you just a bad loser
But you never let go
(and youre gonna go down)
Yes youll go down, but youll never let it show
All the strings and strokes in the ocean
Wont buy you peice of mind
All because you did what you did
Youre not the peaceful kind
Youre just a bad loser
And youll never let go
(and youre gonna go down)
Yes youll go down, but youll never, never let it show
I think you really know what I mean
But Ill tell you one more time
Oh cause its the truth and you know it
That youre no friend of mine
Youre just a bad loser
And youll never let go

Yes youll go down, but youll never let it show

Reasons For Waiting
What a sight for my eyes
To see you in sleep.
Could it stop the sun rise
Hearing you weep?
Youre not seen, youre not heard
But I stand by my word.
Came a thousand miles
Just to catch you while youre smiling.
What a day for laughter
And walking at night.
Me following after, your hand holding tight.
And the memory stays clear with the song that you hear.
If I can but make
The words awake the feeling.
What a reason for waiting
And dreaming of dreams.
So heres hoping youve faith in impossible schemes,
That are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
While the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving.

Youre The Only One
I found out the hard way
And Im never gonna break your heart
I know, too late
And I dont want to break your heart
Guess I had to go away just to find
What I left behind
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
And lets make it now
Like we made it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Nights I lay in bed
And your covers wouldnt warm my feet
And morning found me
Bitter or a bit too sweet
Oh baby, I had to go away
Just to run back and say
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Can we make it now
Like we made it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Youre the only one darlin
Theyll never be anyone else but you
I love you so much
You are my love, youve become my life
And I never meant to break your heart
But, sometimes, you just got to go away
To find what you left behind
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Can we make it now
Like we make it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Youre the only one

So take me back

What About Me?
(don gibson)
Youre happy now yes its plain to see
Youre not concerned with your old used-to-be
Youve got no heartaches or misery
Youre happy I see, what about me?
You pass me by with your head up high
Youve no regrets since we said goodbye
You could at least show some sympathy
Youre happy I see, what about me?
What about me? what about me?
I live with the promises you didnt keep.
What about me? what about me?
Those sweet words you said were just words to deceive.
One day youll find your love untrue
Youll feel the same way I feel about you
You could at least show some sympathy
Youre happy I see.what about me?

The Hard Way
Boys like you were born to waste,
You never listen to a word I say
And if you think youre here to mess around,
Youre making a big mistake,
cos youre gonna find out the hard way,
You gonna find out the hard way.
No matter what I do or say,
Youre much too dumb to educate.
One day lifes going to turn around and slap you in the face,
Then youre gonna find out the hard way.
Youll take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.
Well, youll do it your way and Ill do it my way,
And well see whos the one to survive.
Youll find that with no foundation
Or qualifications
Theres no way that you can get by,
No, theres no way you can get by.
Why dont you take the easy way?
Why dont you co-operate?
Dont just sit there and vegetate.
Do you want to end up illiterate?
You think that lifes a vacation
And youve no inclination
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind.
Now its time for confrontation
And Im tired of being patient,
So Ive got to be cruel to be kind.
Youve got to be cruel to be kind.
Im wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat
When youre only fit to sweep the streets.
Your intellect is such
That it requires a killers touch.
So Im going to play it your way,
Well take the hard way.
Going to take the hard way,
You can take the hard way.
Gonna take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.
