1. CLEAR NIGHT MOONLIGHT

I wanna go ahead until I just run out of gas
We gotta beat the road with four-wheel thunder
There's a Cadillac dealer in Kansas City counting money
And the highway patrol ain't going nowhere

Don't say no, don't say no, don't make me grieve
Don't say no, don't say no, you gotta feel the breeze

On a clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
You and me and the car
Under a thousands stars
Clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
That's all the magic we need
So, don't you go turnin' my dream into a nightmare

Come on honey, let's ride right out of here
Imagine you and I, leavin' it all behind
Find another world, beyond the turnpike
There'll be lots of people uptight
Maybe some FBI, and your daddy screamin' bloody murder

Don't say no, don't say no, don't make me grieve
Don't say no, don't say no, you gotta feel the breeze

On a clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
You and me and the car
Under a thousands stars
Clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
That's all the magic we need
So, don't you go turnin' my dream into a nightmare

Come on honey, let's ride right out of here
Picture the two of us, we're so happy, so much in love
You know how the story goes
At the end of the rainbow
There's a bag of gold


2. WHEN THE LADY SMILES

When the lady smiles,
You know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resourceful
When her fingertips,
Go drawing circles in the night
Then the mood is soft and sensual, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
It's the answer to all my dreams
Every time it feels like the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin',
I hear it shatter,
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm a bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feelin' proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact,
She could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'Cos I'm walking on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

My friends tell me,
She's the beast inside your paradise
I guess you've heard it all before
A fallen angel,
That has got you hypnotized
And that always needs some more, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
She's done nothin' to mislead me
'Cos every time we meet,
The earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin'
I hear it shatter , maybe it's rainin'
Faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at mea
Nd I'm feeling proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'Cos we're walkin' on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo....


3. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Well, it's long ago, I ran into you
A pair of lonely eyes and a pair of broken hearted shoes
And then the other night, you were as cold as snow
You kept your blue jeans on and I never heard you leavin' the room
Woke up half past noon, I was alone in bed
I could still smell your perfume
Drifting through the smoke signals of your black cigarettes
You gotta hold on me, straight to the bedroom
When my nerves went cracking down in my knees

Enough, enough is enough
If it's love, nothing's tougher than love
Written on my shaving mirror, in lipstick blood colour
Amigo, leave it alone. You gotta leave it alone

Pick up the telephone, start investigating
You know that Cuban girl, with the Castro impersonation
I've been checking around, with the revolutionary
All I have is a mirror with a message and a memory
You'll never understand, what comes over me
When I read the lines, written on the face I see
Tell her please,
If it's love, I wanna know where she hides that love

Enough, is never enough
Nothing can stop me now
No one can stop me now
I can't leave it alone, I can't leave it alone
I can't leave it alone, I can't leave it alone
No, no, no


4. FIST IN GLOVE

In the room with artificial light
Where the curtains have all been drawn tight
Behind the table that's out of place
Same old dream is being chased
Behind these walls no sound is heard
Beyond this door it's another world

Fist in glove
Don't shake the right hand, baby
Before I know what the left hand wants
Fist in glove
Don't tell me that the sign you're making
Is the same one your daddy's done

Mother, mother, your love is unsuspected
Mother, mother, your love goes undetected now
Like a fist in a glove, like a fist in a glove

In this room with artificial light
No one's certain if it's day or night
Ten square feet in a worst kinda taste
All your hope inside is laid to waste
Masses in the street, counted a million
All in protest against Armageddon

Fist in glove
Don't shake the right hand, baby
Before it knows what the left hand wants
Fist in glove
Don't tell me that the sign you're making
Is the same one your daddy's done
Mother, mother, your love is unsuspected
Mother, mother, your love goes undetected now
Like a fist in a glove, like a fist in a glove


5. ORWELL’S YEAR

We have been waitin' for this, to put an end to all this
Oh there's works to be done, oh there's work under the sun
Happy New Year
In the back alley, millionaire valley
Trafalgar, Time Square and the who knows where
Big Brother's watching you
Baby's got a computer tutor
Daddy is a trouble shooter
Fat cookie in a soylent green
From a kitchen that you've never seen
It's all shiny chrome - attaching your chromosomes
Say - count to four - Count to 1 - 9 - 84
Welcome, welcome to 1984
Orwell's year is here, Orwell's year is here

It's the ministry of energy
The ministry of ecology
The university of food and economy
The ministry of war and explosions
The ministry of you and me
Minus Orwell's sanity
Welcome everybody, to be a nobody
The ministry of heavenly peace
Big Brother's watching you
Orwell's year is here, Orwell's year is here

Say you wanna hear some more
Big Brother's watching you, Big Brother's watching you


6. N.E.W.S

N.E.W., N.E.W., N.E.W., S, North, East, West and South
Read all about it, read all about it
Neeeeeeeeeeeeews
I wanna know about the weather tomorrow
I wanna know what happened today
I wanna feel that I'm a part of the games
That all the other people play

I mean being in touch with the actual thing,
No matter how amazing
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV,
Open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they've got,
Let's see what they've got
Let's see what they've got to upset me
It's pitiful, shameful,
All I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind,
And a four-way misery
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (2x)

Well once upon a time I was a sailorman,
Curious about my destiny
So I sailed away on a ship of slaves;
The rest, you know, is history
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (2x)

There's gotta be a lesson for you and me,
I mean everybody
How come we never seem to learn,
From the things that we all study
Let me hear you say
North: Scandinavia, Alaska, Siberia
East: Japan, China and India
West: Europe and the US of America
South: Australia, South America, South Africa
Spell it out: N.E., Who, me? Yeah You!
Double U and S for South
Jungle drum, word of mouth
We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out.
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV,
Open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they've got, let's see what they've got,
Let's see what they've got, to update me
It's pitiful, shameful, all I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind and a four-way misery
North, East, West
We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


7. I'LL MAKE ALL UP TO YOU

In a painting by Van Gogh
Saw a street covered with black snow
The people move in a nervous stripe
Of blues, red and yellow
Read your letter for the seventh time
The ink is getting close to fade away
But it still brings the ocean back to mind
In this here desert without oases

Shouting at the man in the moon
I'll make it up to you, make it all up to you
The rhythm and the dance of the loon
I'll make it all up to you, make it all up to you
And the night is a horoscopic sight
While the sun sets fire to the dune
I'll make it all up to you

I remember your face and your Picasso
Pale as sugar, sweet and low
Your hair in a ponytail and dyed
Eyes looking up from down below
Looking for an excuse to make it real
Cause I can't see the help the way that I feel
Looking for an excuse to make it real
Cause I cannot help the way that I feel

I've been shouting at the man in the moon
I'll make it all up to you, I'll make it up to you
The rhythm and the dance of the loon
I'll make it up to you, I'll make it up to you
And the night is a horoscopy sight
While the sun sets fire to the dune
I'll make it all up to you
I've made it all up to you


8. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

He drove his car into the city
The engine hot, the heat was on
He realized, he'd come to a crossroad
And there's only one way he knows
They're not gonna get me, they're not gonna get me
And I'm never gonna be betrayed no more

He was back and someone had to pay
For the time that he had done
When diamonds shine on pretty ladies
Stool-pigeon is always around
They're not gonna get me, they're not gonna get me
And I'm never gonna be betrayed no more

Step into my boots and see if you can make it
Take my chain and see if you can break it, break it

Mission impossible
Chased by a law invincible
I don't mind, I don't care
I'm used to fighting my way back
Unaware of a mission impossible

It was a fact that he was smarter than the others
Still controlled his part of town
It was an eye for an eye in the shadows
Looking down the barrel of a gun


9. IT'S OVER NOW

Can you tell me what it's all about now
There's a rumor spreading all over town
You'll never guess it or understand it, baby
Start living with a new idea

It's over - close the book
Over - off the hook
It's over - like a war in peace
It's over....

Oh I'm running from the guillotine
Carve my name in the hanging tree
Never thought that I was such a fool
But when it's over, baby
What can you do

It's over - you better believe it
It's over - nothing can change it
It's over - can't you see
It's over....

I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl
I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl

I'm heading for a dead-man's curve
Graveyard's on the next left turn
Never thought that I was such a fool
But when it's over, baby
What can you do

It's over - you'd better believe it
It's over - nothing can change it
It's over - can't you see
It's over....

I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl
I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl
Over...,it's all over now, over, over, now
It's all over, all over, all over.....
