Alive & Well & Living In
Nobody sees her here, her eyes are slowly closing.
If she should want some peace, she sits there, without moving,
And puts a pillow over the phone.
And if she feels like dancing no one will know it.
Giving herself a chance theres no need to show her how it should be.
She cant remember now when she was all in pieces.
Shes quite content to sit there listening to what he says.
How he didnt like to be alone.
And if he feels like crying shes there to hear him.
No reason to complain and nothing to fear, they always will be...

Alive And Well And Living In
Nobody sees her here. Her eyes are slowly closing.
If she should want some peace, she sits there without moving,
And puts a pillow over the phone.
And if she feels like dancing no one will know it.
Giving herself a chance there's no need to show her how it should be.
She can't remember now when she was all in pieces.
She's quite content to sit there listening to what he says;
How he didn't like to be alone.
And if he feels like crying she's there to hear him.
No reason to complain and nothing to fear; they always will be

Didnt You Know Shes Gone
(phil vassar, don sampson)
Said the cloud to the sun, todays no time to shine
Didnt you know shes gone
Said the rain to the moon, youre not needed tonight
Didnt you know shes gone
You can keep your magical moments we dont needem round here
Didnt you know shes gone by now
I thought youd have figured it out
Cant you please forget her and just move on
Didnt you know shes gone
Said the tear to the pillow, watch out Im ready to fall
Didnt you know shes gone
Said the pillow to the tear, that aint gonna help at all
Didnt you know shes gone
Why do you insist upon crying, whats the matter with you
Didnt you know shes gone by now
I thought youd have figured it out
Cant you please forget her and just move on
Didnt you know shes gone
Said myself to me, hey man why cant you see
Shes history, shes gone and she aint comin back
Said the mirror to the man, take a good look at yourself
Didnt you know shes gone
Said the man to the mirror a few choice words to myself
Didnt you know shes gone
Talk about a revelation, right between the eyes
Didnt you know shes gone by now
I thought youd have figured it out
Cant you please forget her and just move on
Didnt you know shes gone
Didnt you know shes gone by now
I thought youd have figured it out
Cant you please forget her and just move on
Didnt you know shes gone

Giving It All Up For Love
Phil lynott
She comes home at 5:30, and though her clothes are never dirty,
Shell change them just the same. she likes to keep her name.
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love (up for love, up for love)
Shes got a tattoo on her tummy, and her mummy plays gin rummy.
You might think thats kind of funny, hey, but shes keeping all the money.
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love (up for love, up for love)
Shes got a silver armadillo, underneath her pillow.
Some think its a cupie doll, hey, but they got such crazy minds.
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love
Shes giving it all up for love (up for love, up for love)

Shes Got Rhythm
Last night I went out disco dancing
Saw a foxy girl out on the floor
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
She came to my table, we both ordered something to drink (something to drink)
Before you know it, what do you think
The music started playin
Oo the music got us so excited
And we had to get up on our feet
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
The place was near closing, I offered to take her home (take her home)
But she was with someone and left me alone
But I still remember
Oo I know I never will forget her
And I hope I get to see her again.
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

Moving In With Rico
There were tears in her eyes when she gave me the news last night
I tried to disguise all the hurt that I felt inside
She said shed always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - this was the end
Shes moving in with rico, everybodys hero
Shes moving in with rico and she dont need me no more
We stood by the door and she put her hand in mine
Could have fell through the floor when we said our last goodbye
I just stood and watched her walk away
The love of my life is leaving today
Shes moving in with rico, everybodys hero
Shes moving in with rico and she dont love me no more
Suddenly, she was gone
How sad it feels to be alone
Now theres a stranger in my shoes
Some you win, and some you lose
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
She said shed always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - is this the end
Shes moving in with rico, everybodys hero
Shes moving in with rico and she dont need me no more
Shes moving in with rico, everybodys hero
Shes moving in with rico, shes moving in with rico

Shes Not You
(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller - doc pomus)
Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue
Shes all the things a girl should be,
But shes not you.
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
Shes evrything a man could want,
But shes not you.
And when were dancing
It almost feels the same
Ive got to stop myself from
Whispring your name
She even kisses me like you used to do.
And its just breaking my heart
cause shes not you.

Maybe
Maybe
Maybe Im wrong
To go on thinking, to sing my song
Maybe
This worlds falling down
Call up the trumpeters and knock the walls down
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Slowly
Slowly we walk
No harm in crying, no sense in talk
Slowly
The ice melts away
Call on the choir to sing
And turn no-one away
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Maybe
Maybe Im wrong
The river holds its breath
The sea will keep its calm
Slowly
Slowly we turn
A look at where weve been
The juggler has to learn
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you

Steady As She Goes
(don cook/ronnie dunn/kix brooks)
Tonight I came home late again
She didnt ask me where Ive been
Her bags were packed and sitting by the door
She looked at me and said goodbye
I did my best to change her mind
But she dont want to hear it anymore
Shes steady as she goes
Now shes not crying
If I said it didnt hurt
Id be lying
Where she got the strength to leave
Heaven only knows
But shes rock steady as she goes
It tears me up to watch her go
But deep inside my heart I know
Leaveing is the only choice she has
I guess she finally got the nerve to give me just what I deserve
Shes had enough and she aint looking back
Shes steady as she goes
Now shes not crying
If I said it didnt hurt
Id be lying
Where she got the strength to leave
Heaven only knows
But shes rock steady as she goes

I Didnt Have To Leave You
(jill wood)
Remember me
The one who picked up all the pieces, me
The one whos love for you increases everyday
And it wont go away like she did
Remember her
The one who left your heart abandoned, her
Well shes back again and I cant stand it
It hurts cause with her tears all glistening
Shes got you listening to her promises
Well remember this
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I didnt have to lose you first to want you more than ever
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I didnt have to see if I could tear your world apart
And still win back your heart
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I loved you from the start
You know me
I only want whats best for you and Id leave
If you really wanted me to
But if I say that I dont want to stay
It would be right
You know her
And she knows how to get to you
Oh the nerve, shes offering her bed to you
And whats worse
Is that she knows you started over
But she still insists that you owe her one more try
Well I knew
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I didnt have to lose you first to want you more than ever
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I didnt have to see if I could tear your world apart
And still win back your heart
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I loved you from the start
I didnt have to leave you to love you

The Girl Who Used To Be Me
Shes the girl who used to be
In the town that cant remember
Just a face you use to see
In a show one past september
Another child star who didnt get far
As she hoped to
Shes got re-runs for memories....
She dont want sympathy
Or pity from me
She wants the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
Theres no sympathy
Or pity from me
Just the chance to do it over
To prove that she can
She reads the want ads and haunts the bars
What she finds is next to nothing
She can push but just so far
And shes tired of being that someone
At the end of the line
She wants her day in the sun forever
Not much different from you and me....
Shes the girl who used to be
In the town that cant remember

Mary Pretends
Mary pretends shes so insane, so insane, so insane
Mary pretends shes so insane, so insane, so insane
She just sits back and laughs at the pain
Laughs at the pain, laughs at the pain
Mary pretends shes so insane, so insane, so insane
Falling down of her mind
Gives her everything shes wanted from the world
Close her eyes, drift inside, so alive
She wants to know what it feels like
She wants to know what it feels like to fly
She wants to know what it feels like to die
Goodbye

Shes Tight
Words and music by rick nielsen
When Im down I make a call.
Got the number written on the wall.
First its busy then I try again.
Oh, whos she talking to, could it be him?
I got the number and it starts to ring.
I get excited and I start to dream.
I start to fantasize of memory lane.
Then she answers and she says right way.
She says Im home on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.
(shes tight.) shes ahead of her time.
(shes tight.) shes one of a kind.
(shes tight.) shes a talented girl.
(shes tight.) shes got her head down tight.
I have something got to say to you.
Amnesia and my train of thought.
On the tip, tip of my tongue.
I had a vision when I was young.
You floated in, we floated up.
Through the window and down the hall.
I had a smoke and went upstairs.
Turned the door and opened the key. she spoke...
Im on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.
(shes tight.) shes ahead of her time.
(shes tight.) shes one of a kind.
(shes tight.) shes a talented girl.
(shes tight.) shes got her head down tight.
(shes tight.) shes giving me the go.
(shes tight.) shes giving me the high sign.
(shes tight.) well turn off the lights.
(shes tight.) pull down the shades.
(shes nice, shes tight.) turn on the camra.
(shes nice, shes tight.) and getting ready for action.
Turn off the radio.
Turn on the video.

Dont Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake
Emmas come down.
Shes stopped the light
Shining out of her eyes.
Emmas been run out on.
Shes breaking down
In so many places,
Stuck in low gear
Because of her fears
Of the skidding wheels,
(the skid of her wheels she feels.)
Skidding wheels,
(the skid of her wheels she feels.)
Spinning wheels.
(wheel-skidding feeling.)
Her heart is there,
But theyve greased the road.
Her heart is out there,
But shes no control.
Oh, come on, youve got to use your flow.
You know what its like, and you know you want to go.
Dont drive too slowly.
Dont put your blues where your shoes should be.
Dont put your foot on the heartbrake.
(shes losing, shes losing, shes losing, shes losing...)
Shes losing that inner flame.
It was burning bright,
But shes losing the light fast.
Shes only herself to blame.
Well, take care of yourself,
And remember georgie.
But shes so o.d.d on weeping
She can hardly see
That shes dropping beads.
(red, red glass is bleeding.)
Dropping beads.
(red, red glass is bleeding.)
Dropping beads.
(red, red on the parquet.)
Her heart is there,
But theyve greased the road.
Her heart is out there,
But shes no control.
Oh, come on, youve got to use your flow.
You know what its like, and you know you want to go.
Dont drive too slowly.
Dont put your blues where your shoes should be.
Dont put your foot on the heartbrake.

My Joanna Needs Tuning
I was waiting for somebody
This afternoon
Hope that she remembered
Our rendezvouz
And when she didnt show
Just like yesterday
I do the last, Ill find another way
One night I saw the stranger
Across the hall
I knew he was the reason
Why she didnt call
I wish I had imagined
Or dreamt the lot
But the heart didnt choose
The pain Ive got
Now she turning me inside out
Upside down
And me heart is all a roundabout
Spinnin round
Shes turnin me inside out
Inside out
Shes turnin me inside out
Inside out
Now hes got all so melt
With a diamond ring
And she was thinking through
Almost anything
Shes like a shadow going up
Seventh avenue
But so what, shes only going
Where shes didnt to
I just got one thing to say
Just before I go
Since he was the offender
I want her to know
Now my mind has got me the day
Im watching to
Ill never raise a thought
Of what shed done

Vancouver
Released as b-side of many too many single, 1978.
She packed her bags and dressed
Long before the sunrise
No one knew
She told them many times
About how she would teach them
And now its time
Standing quietly by the door
Her face is numb with fear
She stops and then goes on
Leave forever - its now or never
Quickly walking down the street
Its cold and grey, dawns breaking
She dont mind (she dont mind)
Why she feels so grown up now
Her life is just beginning
She dont know (she dont know)
Shes standing in the pouring rain
Her make-ups running down
She wonders now shes here
Where will I go? who do I know?
Now, now shes not quite so sure
I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly now
And they might worry but she doesnt want them to
Cos causing pain, thats not the thing that she set out to do
So shes back in bed before
Anyone can miss her
She feels good (she feels good)
Knowing the chance was there
Deciding not to take it
Thats her choice (thats her choice)
Shes still awake, her mum comes in
Me and dad, weve had a chat
And were sorry for the things we said
Please forgive us - you wouldnt leave us?

And She Was
And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
Shes making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbors house
Now shes starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
Drifting this way and that
Not touching ground at all
Up above the yard
Chorus
She was glad about it... no doubt about it
She isnt sure where shes gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what shes done
And she was
And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
Shes moving out in all directions
Chorus
Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)
Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)

Spinning His Wheels
(olivia newton-john /gary burr)
He didnt get home until ten
He was still hard at work even then
He didnt notice the change in her hair
Or the candles that burned everywhere
She went off to bed all alone
He didnt notice shed gone
And it takes all her strength to hang on
Shes on the edge of the circle watching him spin around
They cant reach each other until he slows down
They cant find the center, how lonely that feels
Shes stuck in a heartache, hes spinning his wheels
He crawls into bed after two
With a head full of things he should do
And he makes it quite clear with his kiss
Shes no longer on top of his list
There are times when she cant feel his love
So she remembers the way that it was
And shell hold on tight till he does
Shes on the edge of the circle watching him spin around
They cant reach each other until he slows down
They cant find the center, how lonely that feels
Shes stuck in a heartache, hes spinning his wheels
Oh, hes on the rise to the top
She wont ask him to stop
Just please dont forget her
Oh, hes so blinded by pride
Shed be right by his side
If he would just let her
They cant find the center, how lonely that feels
Shes stuck in a heartache, hes spinning his wheels
Shes stuck in a heartache, hes spinning his wheels

Shes So Strange
Shes so strange
And she wore a black moustache
And she pilfered all the petty cash
She went to birmingham
Shell soon be in the can
Shes so cruel
And she knew just what to do
And while the cats were all sniffing glue
They played their silly games
And now theyll take the blame
What shed done
And she didnt know quite what she did
And they told her that she better had
So now she starts to cry
Without a reason why
Shes so poor
And only now shes looking back
She sees her story on a paperback
What will become of her
Theres not much left for her

The Ridge 1. 1
The holy girl is our focus
Shes the story of us all
She can feel our eyes upon her
And the hope that she will fall
On her left so warm and honey-sweet
Like a jealous loving friend
On her right such a steep cold and lonely climb
The clinging threat of rejection
And the thought of her imperfections
She says shes nowhere near the end yet
And she makes no guarantees
Shes comfortable with failure
And her blood may one day freeze
And in her iodine stretch
Her eyes recede and roll away
She knows shes where nothing can reach her now
Beyond where you can see
Beyond where she wants to be
She walks the ridge
So glassy sharp
You cant find her now
You cant speak to her now
Shes going out again
One day she was a child
She could touch the sun somehow
She was held in the arms of the galaxy
And that child is with her now
And in her cobalt moments
Shell show that shes afraid
Her hands reach out and grasp at you
But shes falling further
Falling further in the churning dark slide
She walks the ridge
So glassy sharp
You cant find her now
You cant speak to her now
Shes closing off again
Now shes walking slowly onward
Through the garden you cant know
Her dance so beautiful so twisted
A spinning madness in the snow
Shes got a black hole in there with her
Shes got the sun all in there too
Theyre her partners in her eternal dance
Shes not aware of time moving past her
Shes not aware of getting any further
She walks the ridge
So glassy sharp
You cant find her now
You cant speak to her now
Shell never cry again
