Thousand miles of lonesome highway
Drinking gallons of coffee in a little cafe's
Brought me here
And it's so good to find
That there's someone who's got the same story as mine
Just look at us, we're a couple of hard cases
So how'd we end up where we are
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
I feel something hittin' me awful hard
I don't know where it's gonna lead
But i know where it starts
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
Been so long
I can't believe i feel something so sweet
Where an ache used to be
Don't fall in love anymore
But i've never met anyone like you before
Stay here with me for a couple of more minutes
I think there's something going on
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
I feel something hittin' me awful hard
I don't know where it's gonna lead
But i know where it starts
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
Well it sure took a while to find
It's been waiting here all this time
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
I feel something hittin' me awful hard
I don't know where it's gonna lead
But i know where it starts
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart
Somewhere in the vicinity of the heart

In My Room
02:31

There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room
In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday
Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room
In my room

Streets of Love
04:55
|
|||
|
You're awful bright
You're awful smart
I must admit
You broke my heart
The awful truth
Is really sad
I must admit
I was awful bad
While lovers laugh
And music plays
I stumble by
And hide my pain
Mmmm, the lamps are lit
The moon is gone
I think I've crossed
The Rubicon
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walked the streets of love
And they are full of fears
While music pumps
From passing cars
A couple watch me from a bar
A band just played
The wedding march
And the corner store
Mends broken hearts
And a woman asks me for a dance
Oooooh, it's free of charge
Just one more chance
OOhh, but I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
For a thousand years... Oh...tell me now...Ahh...
I walk the streets of love, and they're drenched with tears, ohhh...
You had the moves
You had the cards
I must admit
You were awful smart
The awful truth
Is awful sad
I must admit
I was awful bad
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're drenched in tears
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I walk the streets of love
For a thousand years
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears

New York Minute
05:27
|

|
Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on wall street
In the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Lying here in the darknessI hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody's going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hand on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Things can get a little strange
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool's advice
And tak care of your own
One day they're here;
Next day they're gone
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
Baby, I've changed. please come back.'
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there's somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
You can get out of the rain
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute

All The Wrong Reasons
03:11
|
|||
|
Trouble blew in on a cold dark wind
It came without no warning
And that big ol' house went up for sale
They were on the road by morning
Oh, the days went slow, into the changing season
Oh, out in the cold, for all the wrong reasons
Well she grew up hard and she grew up fast
In the age of television
And she made a vow to have it all
It became her new religion
Oh, down in her soul, it was an act of treason
Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons
Where the sky begins the horizon ends
Despite the best intentions
And a big ol' man goes up for sale
He becomes his own invention
Oh, the days go slow into the changing season
Oh, bought and sold, for all the wrong reasons

Let Me Down Slow
03:47
|
|||
|
You look a little dressed up-
You’re acting way too smart
Your face a little bit flushed
For a walk in the park
And you’re clutching your phone
As you walk in the door
And your smile's got a twist
You’re looking so hardcore
If you’ve something to say
Don’t be to direct
'Cause I feel a little fragile
Don’t hit the nail on the head
Why I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no
Why I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
No no no no
There’s a swish in your step
There’s a gleam in your eye
Are you coloring your hair
With some new kind of dye
But the first one to blink
Is the first one to fall
I don’t want a confrontation
I've got my back to the wall
Oh baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh no no no
Why I said, baby, baby, let me down real slow
Oh na na na na no (break)
Oh baby, baby, let me down real slow
oh no no no
Let me stretch out in the afterglow
Oh na na na na na na na

Anybody Seen My Baby
05:07
|
|||
|
She confessed her love to me
Then she vanished on the breeze
Trying to hold on to that was just impossible
She was more than beautiful
Closer to etherial
With a kind of down to earth flavor
Close my eyes
It's three in the afternoon
Then I realize
That she's really gone for good
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
Love has gone and made me blind
I've looked but I just can't find
She has gotten lost in the crowd
I was flippin' magazines
In that place on Mercer Street
When I thought I spotted her
Getting on a motor bike
Looking rather lady like
Didn't she just give me a wave?
Salty tears
It's three in the afternoon
Has she disappeared
Is she really gone for good
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around
(Rap)
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,

It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand.
Their son is working for the Daily Mail,
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
Paperback writer (paperback writer)
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,

I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,

If you really like it you can have the rights,
It could make a million for you overnight.

Going Back
04:13
|

|
I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more electric trains
No more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall a time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think I've got
A lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be
A magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
La la la la la, etc.
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be
A magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

Disjointed Dream
05:10
|
|||
|
Escape when I sleep
It's when I close my eyes
Recess to the deep
Places in my mind
A mirror of city lights
Across the lake at night
(No light above you)
In my dream . . . . .
(no shadow below you)
Disjointed dream
A disjointed dream
Let my heart loose
This must be paradise
You cannot choose
Falling takes you back inside
The faster I try to run
The deeper I sink in
(no sky above you)
In my dream . . . . .
(no ground below you)
Disjointed dream
A disjointed dream
Well, the old house still stands
In a place that never was
With a snow cone castle
Across the yard
It's dark and pouring rain
But I feel dry just the same
The lights from far off spires
Will guide the way.
(Chorale)
Checkered walks on trampolines
Take you to another scene
(no light above you)
In my dream . . . . .
(no shadow below you)
Disjointed dream
Disjointed dream
You're not where you think
In a disjointed dream
With me.
(whisper: You are in my dream)

Almost Hear You Sigh
04:08
|
|
||
|
I can almost hear you sigh
I can almost hear you cry
On every crowded street
All the places we would meet
What will I do without you
They say that life goes on
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I can't belive you're gone
You acted much too calm
You turned on all the charm
You had a cold look in your eyes
I can feel your tongue on mine
Silky smooth like wine
I'm living with those memories
That's all that's left of you and me
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
And you turned on all the charm
Acted much too calm
You had a cold look in your eyes
Did it mean nothng
Was it all in vain
Was I just your fool
Or was the pleasure pain
Will you set me free
Or will I wake up
In the morning
And find out it's been a bad dream
Come on, I beg you
I want to be your main man
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you make sweet love to me
Almost see your smile
It stretched half a mile
You had a stone cold look in your eyes

A Day in the Life
04:32

I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the light had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of LKords
I saw a fil today, oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
The crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on.
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged the comb across my head
Went downstairs and had a cup
Looking up, I noticed I was late
Got my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Went upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Ahhhhh.......
I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on.
