Lyrics


1. SHINE ON

Shine on, turn your face to the sun
Shine on, send your love to everyone.

The stars and the sun, shine on everyone
They don't question why, they're just in the sky.

The sand and the sea, change eternally
So look at your life, through their eyes, so

[Chorus]
Shine on, turn your face to the sun
Shine on, send your love to everyone.

The wind and the rain, will never bring us pain
So right from the start, give your heart, so

[Chorus]

Listen to the sound, of magic all around
a musical noise, raise your voice, so

[Chorus](x3)


2. LOVE ON THE RUN

We got to go out tonight now baby,
I'll take you anywhere,
There's nowhere I wouldn't go you know,
I'm in love and I don't care.

There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
And you know what i've done
We gotta go out tonight,
'Cause we got love on the run,
Yeah, we got love on the run.

I know your daddy don't like me
And he better not bring a gun
When they tell him little girl and me,
We got love on the run,
Yeah, we got love on the run.

Run, run, runaway - get out of town
Run, run, runaway - don't hang around
Run, run, runaway - step out of line
Run, run, run before we run out of time.
Run, run, runaway - run in the night
Run, run, runaway - run to the light
Run, run, run we're gonna have some fun tonight.

Gonna take your daddy's car now baby,
Gonna drive it all night long
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
And I don't care if it's wrong.

Trouble on the road ahead now baby,
But we're gonna have a lot of fun
Everybody likes to see a little
Love on the run,
Yeah, love on the run.

Run, run, runaway - get out of town
Run, run, runaway - don't hang around
Run, run, runaway - step out of line
Run, run, run before we run out of time.
Run, run, runaway - run in the night
Run, run, runaway - run to the light
Run, run, run we're gonna have some fun tonight.


3. HEROES

And to me everyone of them was a hero
Standing in the cold cold morning light
Every single one of them was a hero
Standing up for their rights.
And don't let no-body tell you no different
No newspaper phoney or friend
'Cos when the book has finally been written
You know the Heroes always beat the villians in the end.

With head held high and proud, stand up and sing it loud
No tin pot tyrant, no self-made giant,
Nothing's gonna stop us now.

And the traitors who's heads were turned
And who's loyalty were misplaced
Don't have to say one single word
'Cos it's written all over their face
And the leader will come in the last
And the last will win the race.
And the order will all be changing
When the Heroes finally take their rightful place.

With head held high and proud, stand up and sing it loud
No tin pot tyrant, no crack-pot giant,
Nothing's gonna stop us now.


One swallow don't make a summer
One battle don't win no war
One roll by the drummer
Will soon settle the score
And the Heroes will come out fighting
Like they've always done
Shoulder to shoulder together,
Line by line 'till the final victory is won.

Chorus:
With head held high and proud, stand up and sing it loud
No tin pot tyrant, no crack-pot giant,
Nothing's gonna stop us now.

Heroes


4. ALL IN THE SAME BOAT

Don't do much working but I pass my time
Don't do much thinking but I use my mind
Don't get much exercise can't find the time
I'm floating down thr river, and it's fine.

Don't hold with know alls telling me what to do
I could call their bluff anytime I wanted to
Most folks are fragile lust like me and you
We're floating down river ( floating down the river )
Floating down the river ( floating down the river ).

[Chorus]
We're all in the same boat here, no doubt about it, no fear
All in the same boat, all in the same boat, all in the same boat here.

Don't think of reasons but I think of rhyme
Don't trust in numbers but I can tell the time
Don't know what love is but I know its fine
I'm floating down river ( floating down the river )
Floating down the river ( floating down the river ).

[Chorus]

We're floating down river ( floating down the river )
Floating down the river ( floating down the river ).

[Chorus](x2)


5. DANCE YOUR LIFE AWAY

Early morning into school, play the game by the golden rule
Do it like that, do it like this
Do like master, do it like miss.

Put your head down study hard, don't make no trouble in the old school yard
Buy some soap, don't have hope
You'll hang yourself with too much rope.

Do you believe it ? - I don't believe it.

[Chorus]
Dance, dance, dance your life away, dance your life away
Dance your life away, dance your life away.

Well early in the morning open eyes, looking for work surprise, surprise
Do it like this yeah, do it like that
Get on your bike there's no rabbit in the hat.

Sorry son there's no work here, better come back in a week or maybe next year,
Don't ask questions, don't ask why,
You'll leave yourself high and dry.

Do you believe it ? - I don't believe it.

[Chorus]

Out with the boys having fun, everybody trying to be number one
Do it like this, do it like that
End up in the same old trap.

Listen to what the preacher say, you got jam tomorrow but not today
He know the score, he told you before
We're all passing through heaven's door.

Do you believe it ? - We don't believe it.

[Chorus]

Do you believe it ? - I don't believe it.
Do you believe it ? - We don't believe it.
Do you believe it ? - Dance your life away
Do you believe it ? - Dance your life away
Do you believe it ? - Dance your life away
Do you believe it ? - Dance your life away


6. BEAUTIFUL DAY

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day.

When I'm walking with you I feel so proud
I could raise my voice I could say it out loud

But I don't you know, that's not my way,
I just smile inside 'cos I know it's a beautiful day.

When I rest my head on your slender shoulder
And you tell me there's no fear in growing older

I believe what you say, all along the way
And I know for sure it's gonna be another beautiful day.

[Chorus]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day.

When I look in your eyes and I touch your hair
I feel a strange surprise that's always there
It's mystery to me, I hope it stays that way
And I think to myself, what a beautiful day.

[Chorus]

There's a man on the radio telling lies
About world war three being fought in the skies

But it don't matter to me, i've got to say
'Cos I know today is gonna be another beautiful day.

[Chorus](x2)

It's gonna be a beautiful day (x6)


7. BROKEN DOLL

Sometimes I feel like a broken doll
A christmas toy lying on the shelf
Al Capone's cast off moll
A broken doll lying by itself.

Sometimes I feel like a second hand Rosie
I guess I know it right from the start
Searching round for tea and sympathy
A broken doll with a broken heart.

[Chorus]
Don't say it no don't say it, don't mention anything.
Don't say it no don't say it, intention is a sin.
Let me look for one last time at what once was
Yes a broken doll might have a broken heart but it's yours.

Sometimes I feel like a broken doll
In need of some repair it seems
In the night I hear you call to me
A broken doll still can have its dreams.

[Chorus]


8. ONE HUNDRED MILES TO LIVERPOOL

Sue and Annie wrote me, they're coming down to quote me
Know every word to every song.
Rod N' Ray are talking, the radio is squawking
Me I'm wondering what the hell went wrong.

Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
Been down this road in sunshine and in snow
And it don't get any shorter
And the water under the bridge has got to flow, oh no.

Funny how a mile can go on forever
Funny how a day can be an age
Funny how a smile can face the stormy weather
Funny how a house can be a cage.

[Chorus]
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
Been down this road in sunshine and in snow
And it don't get any shorter
And the water under the bridge has got to flow.

John and Paul are sleeping, a streetcleaner is sweeping
The moon is on his own no place to go.
Me, I'm cracking jokes in the bar with all the blokes
Toasting the end of another show.

But in my dreams I see Liverpool in lights
Dancing in the streets 'til the early morning light.
The tug boat on the Mersey joining in the Jamboree
Well a man must have his dreams
Even though his dreams might never come to be.

[Chorus](x2)


9. TAKE YOUR TIME

When you can't find your place in the human rat-race
And you feel like giving up the ghost
You try smiling at the world and it spits in your face
And you hate all the things you love the most.

Well I know your young body is eager and free
And it's asking which way to go
You look in the mirror, what do you see
The big question, I don't know.

[Chorus]
Take your time, will you, Take your time.
Take your time, will you, Take your time.

When your mind questions why things are made like they are
And you see no sense in it all
There's a place somewhere and it's not too far
But first you gotta climb the wall.

And the wall is so high and it's made of stone
There's no ladder here at hand
And then the moment you realise you're all alone
That's the moment you understand.

[Chorus]

So look at yourself from a different point of view
It's not always wrong or right
You're the only one here who knows what to do
Through the darkness there is light.

[Chorus](x2)


10. SONG FOR A STRANGER

I have travelled over mountains, over sunsets over sky
I've envisaged things before me, always tried to keep an open mind.

As a person i've always listened, to others with a good tale to tell
But you can end up in confusion, and a house in heaven or hell.

[Chorus]
But who's this guy who befriends me, and tells me of all his schemes
Is it me now or am I dreaming, nothing is what it seems.

I have travelled through the darkness, through the gloom and through the light
Sailed my boat in stormy waters, I keep searching through the darkest night.

[Chorus]

I have tried hard, to understand it, but i've never come really close
How the ones who put the least in, always end up with the most.

[Chorus](x4)
