Poles Apart
Did you know...it was all going to go so wrong for you
And did you see it was all going to be so right for me
Why did we tell you then
You were always the golden boy then
And that youd never lose that light in your eyes
Hey you...did you ever realise what youd become
And did you see that it wasnt only me you were running from
Did you know all the time but it never bothered you anyway
Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes
The rain fell slow, down on all the roofs of uncertainty
I thought of you and the years and all the sadness fell away from me
And did you know...
I never thought that youd lose that light in your eyes

Slow Down
Written by dan peek, 1977
Found on harbor.
I hear you knockin but you cant come in
You wear your stockings like you think its a sin
Dont try to tell me you aint been where you been
cause I know that youve been messin round with him
So slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Come on down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Oh down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
I met you dancin at the high school gym
You rubbed against me my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that youd like to be friends
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
Take it!
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont try to tell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Youll never sell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
I said before it gets too late
You know before it gets too late
Oh, hey

If I Ever Thought Youd Be Lonely
Hold a candle to a naked flame
Ask the atheist his christian name
Try parachuting from a burning plane
Finding someone else you could blame
If I ever thought youd be lonely
If I ever thought youd be there
If I ever fought the alimony
Painted pony
Youd be there
Eskimo heart
Bedouin throat
A butcher trussed up in a camel hair coat
A crowning in the castle
A drowning in the moat
Ocean dried,
Desert afloat
If I ever thought youd be lonely
If I ever thought youd be there
If I ever fought the alimony
My one and only
Youd be there
One for the lady,
One for the gent
Signatures in wet cement,
And if you ever ask,
What I meant then Id never know,
Then Id never know...

Lyin Eyes
I can tell, just by the look
In your eyes, that the love is gone, that I once took
So much has changed in the way you live
I bet theres nothing left that you can ever give
The words of a madman are spoken
I guess Im not the only one
The heart of a sadman is broken
Eyes, lyin eyes
You can fool anyone without disguise
Eyes, lyin eyes
Your look is cold as ice
Its in your blood, it floats in your veins
I sacrify myself but all I feel is pain
Youve done me wrong, youve been so bad
But its the last time a battle is lost
Where Im the one whos sad
The words of a...
Eyes, lyin eyes...
I wish youd die, I wish youd break down and cry
I wish youd move and then I know Id be satisfied
Cant you see Im on the edge, I cant look down
Is it me whos lost and never found

The End Of The World
(tennant/lowe)
-----------------------
Floods of tears and doors slamming
Stamping feet across the landing
Because of your obligation
To stay home and fight
Sitting down to a composition
Test the limits of your inhibition
If the phone hasnt rung by midnight
Its over tonight
If someone tried, youd realise
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
Piles of toast and broken promises
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
It seems theres no escape from the humdrum
Its over and done
If someone tried, youd realise
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
If someone cried, youd sympathise
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
At midnight in desperation
Imagine total teenage destruction
The prophets all predicted extinction
The virgin spoke in apparitions
And if it all came to pass now
You feel wed all deserve it somehow
But if someone tried (youd realise)
Youd realise (and sympathise)
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
If someone cried (youd sympathise)
Youd sympathise (and realise)
Its just a boy or a girl
Its not the end of the world
Its not the end

Sail Away
By dickey betts
(c) 1979 emi blackwood music inc.
Sunset colors, all across the bay.
Finds me here alone at the end of one more day.
Skipping stones across the water.
Wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
Palm trees sway in the evening breeze.
Sing a lullabye of sweet love to me.
Sailboat, sail away into the amber sky.
And I wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
May all your dreams come true one day.
Sail on, sail away.
I wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
May all your dreams come true one day.
Sail on, sail away.
I wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
I wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.

If Youd Ever Needed Someone
Stop right there and listen,
Before you say something you might regret
I know somethings missing
But I cant begin to accept what you said
Maybe, you can show me
Exactly where Im goin wrong
Cos lately Ive been thinking
Maybe Ive been round here too long
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me lo let her go
If youd ever needed someone
One way or another
Whatever I do it seems you criticize
Is there any wonder
The hurt that I feel is so thinly disguised
I cant help but notice
Little things that tell me so much
Is it only a matter of time
Before Im missing your tender touch?
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me to let her go
If youd ever needed someone
If youd put yourself in my place
You could never say whats gone is gone
If youd ever needed someone

I Still Love You
I was with you, you were alone
Now Im standing here
Wisdom came only after youd gone
Now Im starting all over, with a tear in my eye
I just never thought youd disappear
In the night your spirit arises
With it comes the pain
I hope Im dreaming cus it hurts so bad
When I reach out for you, Im alone in some room
I just never thought youd disappear
I still love you like a child
Wasnt that good enough?
I still want you, it drive me wild
The pain is just too much
Maybe Ive lost enough
Time heals all, so they say, I dont know
Sometimes nothings clear
Maybe someday Ill understand
But I know for a start
Theres a place in my hear that is yours
And it wont disappear
I still love you like a child
Wasnt that good enough?
I still want you, it drives me wild
The pain is just too much
I still love you

Didnt I
Well I thought I could make you cry
Oh didnt i?
I didnt think that I would miss you
Ah did you, did you true?
And I told you before
When you walked out that door
That I wouldnt love you any more
I cannot cope any more
Well I thought youd never lie
Why didnt i?
I didnt think that youd be untrue
Well did you, did you too?
And Ive told you before
When youd walk out that door
That I would no cope any more
I do not have you any more
I thought I could make you cry
And I tried now didnt i?
I didnt think that I would miss you
But it wasnt true, I do
And I told you before
A million times or more
That when youd walk out that door
I would no love you any more
I do not love you any more
I lied now didnt i?
Oh didnt i?
There are people in this town
That say I dont give a damn
But the people in this town
They never could understand
Oh they never could understand
I thought I could make you cry
And I tried, now didnt i? didnt I try, didnt i?
I didnt think that I would miss you
But it wasnt true, I do, I do
And I told you before
That youd open up my sores
And youd leave me here with scars
I cannot take it any more
Oh dont hurt me no more
I cried and I cried, now didnt i?
Why didnt I try? why didnt i?

What Went Wrong
(clarke / hicks / nash)
If you could look my way
Youd know that I exist
And then youd realise
Im waiting to be kissed
By you baby
Tell me what went wrong
With our love
Each time that you walk by
I feel my heart would break
And then I think about
The pain Id have to take
From you baby
Tell me what went wrong
With our love
Youd be the only reason
That Im leaving town
Youd be the only reason
Why Id come back
For one more day
Why Id come back
And maybe stay
If I could find out
What to say to you
Break
Youd be the only reason
That Im leaving town
Youd be the only reason
Why Id come back
For one more day
Why Id come back
And maybe stay
If I could find out
What to say to you
So, Ill just pretend
That you will look my way
And I am hoping
That youll come to me and say
Tell me baby
Tell me what went wrong
With our love
With our love
With our love

Slow River
The weather man, he looks confused.
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do.
But you dont remember things like that, do you?
The balance was uneven but Im breaking through.
Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought Id drown and youd never know,
Youre a slow river and you run so cold.
The winter here dont belive in god,
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog.
I still see in your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog,
But one foot in your door, oh thats all I ever got.
Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought Id drown and youd never know,
Youre a slow river and you run so cold.
Chances are youll reappear.
Swim my way in a flood of tears,
No place to hide your conscience
So youre a sinking ship with no place to go.
Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought Id drown and youd never know,
Youre a slow river and you run so cold.

Everybody said that youd better watch out

And me, you know that I thought that I looked out
Now look at the trouble that Im in
You know, youd better -
Watch out for charleys girl

They said everybody had to leave
They had a warrant in their hand
They wanted to bust the whole band
I said if I ever see sharon again
Im gonna punch her face in
You know you, youd better -

Hey, now, now

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

Anything For Love
In my life
In my time and in each line Ive ever sung
And in my life
Was it my imagination or are you still the one
Who lingers on
Id do anything for you
Youd do anything for me
Wed do anything for love
Oh youd use any means
And I would try any scheme for love
Wed do anything for love
Once or twice
In my loneliness I watched the world go by
There was i
One too many miles beyond where you might say
Some luck was due, after all
We could have touched the sky
You had no alibi because
Wed do anything for love
Oh I would try any means
To have you in all my dreams because
Youd do anything for love
Not long ago as I rememeber
Once upon a dark and windy day
When love looked like a dying ember
Before you came to call
The beauty of it all I though Id lost and yet
Cause in my life
Here in my mind in it now shines
A guiding light
Never again will I lose my way
Oh I would not tell a lie and
You had no alibi because
Wed do anything for love
Oh youd use any means
And I would try any scheme for love
Simply anything for love
Oh I would do anything
Just about anything because
Wed do anything for love
Anything for love

Dont Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger
(harris)
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Dont look trough the eyes of a fool
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebodys watching when the light goes down
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Dont look trough the eyes of a fool
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebodys watching when the night comes down
Feel someones watching you
You gotta get away
Is it the first time
Youve ever felt this scared
Feel the adrenaline pump
Your heart begins to race
Begin to run now
The sweat runs down your face
Dont know which way to turn
Youd better hide yourself
Hes getting closer now
Youd better improvise
Just hope you never reach
The point of no return
Could be the last time
You see the light of day
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Dont look trough the eyes of a fool
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebodys watching when the night goes down
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Dont look trough the eyes of a fool
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebodys watching when the light goes down
Dont look to, dont look to
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Dont look through the eyes of a fool
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebodys watching when the light goes down
Dont look to the eyes of a stranger

Insane
Somebody told me it was over
Nobody told me where it began
No one believes in you
I understand
Like a blind man
Whos lost his way
No one hears a word
Of what you say
I forgive you
Would you do the same
I would believe you
If only youd be true
I would believe if it were true
Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its the same for me
Its the same for you
Its insane insane insane insane insane
Insane insane insane insane insane insane
I dont know where youve been looking
I think its only in your mind
Its tied so tight inside of you
All the thoughts unkind
I would believe you
If only youd be true
I would believe if it were true
Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its the same for me
Its the same for you
Its insane insane insane insane insane
Insane insane insane insane insane
Insane
I would believe you
If only youd be true
Im getting older
And I cant escape time
Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its the same for me
Its the same for you
Its insane insane insane insane insane
Insane insane insane
Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its the same or me
Its the same for you

If You Were A Bluebird
(butch hancock)
If you were a bluebird youd be a sad one
Id give you a true word
But youve already had one
If you were a bluebird,
Youd be crying
Youd be flying home
If you were a raindrop,
Youd shine like a rainbow
And if you were a train stop,
The conductor would sing low
If you were a raindrop,
Youd be falling
Youd be calling home
If you were a hotel
Honey, youd be a grand one
But, if you hit a slow spell,
Do you think you could stand one
If you were a hotel,
Well Id lean on your doorbell
Id call you my home
If I was a highway,
Id stretch alongside you
Id help you pass by ways
That had dissatisfied you
If I was a highway,
Well Id be stretchin
Id be fetchin you home

What Shall We Do With The Child
(holmes/horsey, additional lyrics by carly simon)
I know Im not what you wanted
Not what you had in mind
And I didnt come close
To the mark youd set
For the girl youd planned to find
Youve never seen me cry
We shared but idle words
And a casual goodbye
And what shall we do with the child
Whos got your eyes
My hair
And your smile
Reminding me that we fell in love
But just for a little while
You never asked about the girl you never knew
And while she was sleeping in my arms
She never asked about you
Without you seems the only way
But time has passed and now
Shell soon be asking questions
And shell ask about you
And how
Shall I say to the child
Whos got your eyes, my hair, your smile
Reminding me that we fell in love
But just for a little while
What shall we do with the child
Whos got your eyes, my hair, your smile

Shattered Dreams
So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side
And now youve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You said youd die for me
Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong
(chorus)
From this empty heart
I thought it was you who youd die for love
(chorus)
Oh no no no - you said youd die for me
Oh oh, oh oh, die for me
So much for your promises

Rudy
Rudys on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He dont wanna get there, but he needs time
He aint sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time.
He needs time - he needs time for livin,
He needs time - for someone just to see him.
He aint haid no lovin
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole worlds above him.
Well its not as though hes fat-
No theres more to this than that-
See he tries to play it cool-
Wouldnt be nobody fool.
Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait
But recently he could see that it may come too late.
All through your life, all through the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared.
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might, I cant hold back the tears
How can you live without love, its not fair?
Someone said give but I just didnt dare.
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
Hearings alright for them thats all there
Youd better gain control now
Youd better showem all now
Youd better make or break now
Youd better give and take now
Youll have to push and shove now
Youll have to find some love now
Youd better gain control now.
Now hes just come out the movie.
Numb of all the pain,
Sad but in a while hell soon be
Back on his train...

The Last Breath
Theres a rose on the bed
A letter that I wrote what you mean to me
Words I wished Id said,
Were still in my head, now I pray youd see
I dont know how to tell you that I miss you, baby
I struggle with the words sometimes
But in my heart, I know youll find
Chorus:
I know, you know
Our souls will be together till the end of time
You know, I know
Your love is gonna meet me on the other side
As sure as the angels come down and take my breath away
I love youd be the last thing Id ever say
Id ever say....
You walked beside me,
You stood by me and got me through my darkest times
And now I close my eyes
And visuallize your face for the last time
I didnt know how to tell you that I loved you baby
I struggle with the words sometimes
But in my heart, I know youll find
Chorus:
I know, you know
Our souls will be together till the end of time
You know, I know
Your love is gonna meet me on the other side
As sure as the angels come down and take my breath away
I love youd be the last thing Id ever say
I never fell in love,
No one ever touched me like this before
You opened my eyes
Made me realize something worth living for
Solo (guitar and piano)
But if fate took you from me before I got to let you know
Youre the one thing in my life worth dying for
If the world fell apart,
I know in my heart
I know would never change
If the devil himself
Tried to raise hells bells
I know it would be in vain
If the heavens come down
Let em fall to the ground
Let em take my breath away
I love youd be the last thing Id ever say
