1. "Woman in Love"
i don't know why it's the way of the world
but meanwhile....
you've seen her sway when she walks down the street
look at her eyes see the glow in her cheeks
it ain't no secret she can't hide it away
there's someone special she's the dish of the day
she's a woman in love
she's a woman in her prime
(she's a woman in love)
look at her face it's a picture
she's a woman in love
she's a woman
this chemistry you'll never find in a book
no Ectochrome's gonna capture this look
these mixed emo's make your senses to reel
you've got to be there to feel what she feels
she's a woman in love
she's a woman in her prime
(she's a woman in love)
look at her face it's a picture
she's a woman in love
she's a woman
why should a woman in all innocence
be the one to inspire looks that kill
i don't know
i don't know why it's the way of the world
some will win, some will lose
but she can't tell
this kind of beauty comes from within
shouldn't be allowed yeh it's really a sin
you'd sell your soul for a night in her bed
you're far too late boy I've already said
she's a woman in love
she's a woman in her prime
(she's a woman in love)
look at her face it's a picture
she's a woman in love
she's a woman
[repeat until fade]
2. "Wonderland"
i wanna take a giant step
don't know where I'll end up yet
the devil or the deep blue sea
there's always someone watching over me
the power of communication
every little word's a big sensation
sitting in the palm of my hand
everyone at my command
it's a wonderland
(and I've only just begun)
(but I get a smile from everyone)
it's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)
('cos I won't go down without a fight)
i'd like to introduce you to
a special substance, good for you
no physical dependency
for a star in its ascendancy
the world is a great big oyster
i'm riding through on a roller coaster
i'm looking at exotic places
but i'm colour blind to all these faces
it's a wonderland
(and I've only just begun)
(but I get a smile from everyone)
it's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)
('cos I won't go down without a fight)
live while you can
everyday's a holiday
these are the golden years
and they won't be coming round again
so little time to be wild and free
so many things that you want to be
so little space between the cradle and the grave
but the minutes are ticking away
these are the special times
and they won't be coming round again woh oh woh
people take me for a ride
but I'm feeling good inside
the consequence of love and pain
and I'm not the one who takes the blame
my head is on another planet
my thoughts are soothed
by the hands upon it
a simple trade in real affection
and I'm not alone in the twilight zone
it's a wonderland
(and I've only just begun)
(but I get a smile from everyone)
it's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)
('cos I won't go down without a fight)
it's a wonderland
(and I've only just begun)
(but I get a smile from everyone)
it's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)
('cos I won't go down without a fight)
it's a wonderland...
3. "Fill Her Up"
my baby told me she would meet me on the street
stood behind a lamppost, I could only see her feet
now I'm not one to grumble, don't want to be a bore
but that silly bitch Jane Fonda's got a lot to answer for
told the women of the world that the only way to win
work out 'til you burn out and you'll get super slim
i rushed her to the restaurant and called the maitre d', oh help me
fill her up, fill her up
load up, load up
fill her to the top
fill her up, fill her up
keep it coming, keep it coming
never let it stop
we staggered from the restaurant feeling in the pink
i slipped into the liquor store and gave the man a wink
my baby got the shivers, said you've got to stop and think
what you're doing to your body with this evil demon drink
said the poison that you're buying gonna eat away your brain
i said you'd better listen up before you go insane
knocked her off her soapbox, rushed her to the bar, and shouted
fill her up, fill her up
down 'em, drown 'em
fill her to the top
fill her up, fill her up
keep 'em coming, keep 'em coming
never let them stop
that's right, one more
tequilla sunrise with a little umbrella on it
okay, encore
a bloody mary with a little shot of bourbon on the side
too many moaning minnies
they're out to spoil our fun
watch out for sister anna
she's the one who bangs the drum
bang the drum
now you may think i'm worried by the screwballs that i meet
just to prove i'm not i'll throw a party in the street
everyone's invited, but you've got to take the pledge
leave behind your scruples, let me take you to the edge
everything in moderation that's the golden rule
take away all pleasure, that seems kind of cruel
to give the people power got to give them fuel, so i say
fill em up, fill em up
lead em, feed em
fill em to the top
fill em up, fill em up
everybody, everybody
never let it stop
fill em up, fill em up
lead em, feed em
fill em to the top
fill em up, fill em up
everybody, everybody
never let it stop
fill her up, fill her up... [repeat to fade]
4. "Something Special"
stealing coins from the poor box
i'm robbing the blind, but you won't
understand, i'm a wanted man
got no choice in the matter
i'm mad as a hatter
but she makes me do
things i shouldn't do
my baby wants the best of everything
i can't refuse her when she starts to sing
bring me something special
and i'll take you to heaven tonight
going down to the street and
i'll pick on a pocket with a
healthy wad, from some wealthy sod
looking tough with a shooter
i'll stick up the bank
and take out, all that cash
i'll be, such a smash
my baby needs the best of everything
lifes little luxuries to make her sing
bring me something special and i'll
take you to heaven tonight
look at her face and i won't need to explain
this is the stuff dreams are made of
step in my shoes and you will feel no pain
she's got the power to knock your socks off
my baby gets the best of everything
it's risky business but it makes her sing
bring me something special
and i'll, take you to heaven tonight
bring me something special
and i'll, take you to heaven tonight [2x]
5. "Welcome to Paradise"
i kissed my mother
shook the hand of my brother
and i said goodbye to the woman i loved
it may seem like a madness
to be leaving the love nest
but i'm taking a chance on a place far away
welcome to paradise
who said you can't live twice
you will find heaven is here on earth
welcome to paradise
did somebody say . . .
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
a coup coming on
bad vibrations (there's a coup coming on)
feeling the tension (there's a coup coming on)
no smoke without fire (there's a coup coming on)
i could smell the danger
never dance with a stranger
but the music took me and soon i was lost
so i questioned a lady
but her answers were crazy
and before i knew i was counting the cost
welcome to paradise
love it but don't look twice
you'll soon be living in make believe
welcome to paradise
did somebody say . . .
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
a coup coming on
somebody help me (there's a coup coming on)
(welcome to paradise)
so much i don't follow (there's a coup coming on)
(welcome to paradise)
i'm not looking for trouble (there's a coup coming on)
(welcome to paradise)
there's a coup coming on
a coup coming on
i shouldn't have come
no i shouldn't have come
why did i come, hey!
the clouds were gathering
and the temperature rising
be no turning back all my bridges were burned
then it hit me, jumped up and bit me
now i'm under your spell i can never return
this is your paradise
now you must pay the price
you should have flown
when the coup was blown
welcome to paradise
did somebody say . . .
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
a coup coming on
A band on the run
Annie get your gun
6. "The Stars Didn't Show"
we came from miles around
just to listen to your sound
you made the night seem endless
you cast a magic spell
you played the part so well
your music blew away the darkness
we loved you for better
we loved you for worse
but we never took you for granted
your lives were a blessing
but they carried a curse
the night that the stars didn't show
you made me stand so proud
i was lifted from the crowd
the fire inside me burning
the figure dressed in black
sending shivers down my back
deep inside my soul was stirring
we loved you for better
we loved you for worse
the sweet inspiration that you gave us
and i can remember we didn't rehearse
the night that the stars didn't show
mountains may crumble
and worlds fall apart
lovers and friends may desert me
the road may be long
but i know in my heart
your spirit will always be with me
the thrill to be up there
a sea of faces everywhere
i look i find you
we loved you for better
we loved you for worse
but we never took you for granted
your lives were a blessing
but they carried a curse
the night that the stars didn't show
we loved you for better
we loved you for worse
the sweet inspiration that you gave us
and i can remember we didn't rehearse
the night that the stars didn't show
7. "Green Eyed Monster"
who's that creeping out of my back door
don't say he's collecting for the poor
don't you tell me you're not having fun
the green eyed monster's got me on the run
phones keep ringing but there's no one there
you never told me why you changed your hair
someone else's lotion on my side of the mattress
green eyed monster's got me by the niagra's
don't think i'm mad, it's paranoia
(i want what you got)
i'm sad, you're glad
(i want what you got)
i'm hungry for your love
say the word, give me fever
(you got what i need)
keep those goodies for me
midnight shopping is a funny thing
but i'm not laughing, you don't wear your ring
you spend a fortune but your cupboard's bare
the green eyed monster's got his home in there
somethings cooking at the laundromat
dirty washing, i'm not having that
fifteen visits and my threads are bare
the green eyed monster leaves me in despair
don't think i'm mad, it's paranoia
(i want what you got)
i'm sad, you're glad
(i want what you got)
hungry for your love
you say, the word, give me fever
(you got what i need)
keep that something for me
what the hell is happening here
the more i get to know
i find out how much i don't know
who can i turn to now
when everything i touch
and everything i see
seems to crumble into dust
you put the evil eye on me
green eyed monster's driving me insane
and jealous lovers play a deadly game
my fire is burning but you're as cold as ice
the green eyed monster throws a loaded dice
who's that creeping out of my back door
don't say he's collecting for the poor
don't you tell me you're not having fun
the green eyed monster's got me on the run
the green eyed monster's got me on the run
the green eyed monster's got me on the run
8. "Charity Begins at Home"
a shake of the tin
the money drops in, but is it a sin
you're standing in rags
you're selling your flags
but who gets the dough at the end of the day
we saw your drop-dead fancy wheels
your little house up on the hill
but when your conscience pricks
a little sacrifice sweetens the pill
so keep your hands in your pockets
charity begins at home
keep your hands in your pockets
charity won't leave you alone
we take to the stage
the audience rave, we're doing our bit
a heavenly cast, a blast from the past
there's a song to be sung, will it make number one
we wanna see your money roll
but our eyes are on the hall of fame
'cos business is business
and hits are the name of the game
so keep your hands in your pockets
charity begins at home
keep your hands in your pockets
charity won't leave you alone
everywhere that we turn
there are mouths to be fed
how can we sleep
the battle goes on while we're
safe in our beds
so don't turn away
no don't turn away
your doors are locked
you switch on the box to take in a show
you think that you're safe
but here comes that face
and wouldn't you know it's that message again
they want to take your plastic cash
your hand reaches out to the phone
keep your hands in your pockets
charity begins at home
keep your hands in your pockets
charity begins at home
keep your hands in your pockets
charity won't leave you alone
everywhere that we turn
there are mouths to be fed
how can we sleep
the battle goes on while we're
safe in our beds
so don't turn away
no don't turn away
keep your hands in your pockets
charity begins at home
keep your hands in your pockets
charity won't leave you alone
[repeat 5x]
9. "Shine a Light in the Dark"
i've been lost before and i had to pay
it was never easy but i found a way
well the journey was hard and the road was tough
there were times when i cried lord i've had enough
please don't desert me now
don't you leave me stranded now i need a friend
please don't desert me now
you've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
show me mercy when i'm helpless
shine a light in the dark
hold me back when i get reckless
shine a light in the dark
stand me up if i get legless
shine a light in the dark
shine a light in the dark
shine a light in the dark
i've been down and out and i've been fit to drop
but the thought of you wouldn't let me stop
now a man should stand upon his own two feet
because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet
please don't desert me now
i can hear the reaper calling in the wind
please don't desert me now
you've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
show me mercy when i'm helpless
shine a light in the dark
hold me back when i get reckless
shine a light in the dark
stand me up if i get legless
shine a light in the dark
shine a light in the dark
shine a light in the dark
where were you when the chips were down
i fell apart when i hit the town
where were you when i couldn't get arrested
where were you when the lights went out
i blew a fuse, did you hear me shout
where on earth do i look for heavens sake
there's a brotherhood that i want to see
gotta take my share of equality
there's no harmony in a one man band
even god almighty needs a helping hand
please don't desert me now
there's no time and i can't fight another day
please don't desert me now
you've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
show me mercy when i'm helpless
shine a light in the dark
hold me back when i get reckless
shine a light in the dark
stand me up if i get legless
shine a light in the dark
shine a light in the dark
shine a light in the dark
[repeat to fade]
10. "Don't Break the Promises"
you know i cannot always be there with you
when something crazy takes me far away
we must stick together through this madness
i've got so many things I want to say
too many forces try to come between us
so little time to share and talk to you
if i show my hand to you in panic
please remember what i'm going through
i've loved you forever
but it seems like a day
and i want to be there with you
i didn't want it this way
don't think i don't trust in you
i just needed to say
don't break the promises
that we made today, oh no
don't break the promises
do you remember counting every moment
before the world we knew was torn apart
now when i close my eyes i can be with you
but are we really dancing in the dark
a bad connection leads us to confusion
we're all too easily misunderstood
oh we've been together through these nightmares
and now we've got a chance to make it good
i've loved you forever
but it seems like a day
and i want to be there with you
i didn't want it this way
don't think i don't trust in you
i just needed to say
don't break the promises
that we made today, oh no
don't break the promises
that we made today
don't you break the promises
(don't break the promises, promises)
if you do you'll be breaking my heart
(don't break the promises that you made)
oh don't forget the things we said
(promises, promises)
at the start oh no
i've loved you forever
but it seems like a day
and i want to be there with you
i didn't want it this way
don't think i don't trust in you
i just needed to say
don't break the promises
that we made today, oh no
don't break the promises
that we made today
don't break the promises
that we made today
