Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried your best
Tell me what I'm ought to do
Maybe you should do it too
Tell me why they're sleeping alone
No house no where to call a home
Tell me what I'm meant to see
Won't you stop preaching at me
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung
All the money in the world
Would never slit all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world
Would never set my heart alive
I dream of a day when it's all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
I dream of a day when it's all gone away
But dreams are for night
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung
Don't tell that it's over
Please I'm on my knees I'm beggin you to stop
It's over please I'm on my knees I'm beggin you to stop
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung

Don't wanna see the stars; don't wanna see the moon
Don't wanna see the sun that rises up too soon
Don't wanna see the day; don't wanna see the night
Oh the afternoon, it feels about right
I am the spaceman flying high
I am the astronaut in the sky
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I am the light in the dark
I am the match; I am the spark
Don't worry, I'm okay now
After the sun always comes the rain
Followed by hurt and pain
After the light comes the dark
After the love comes the breaking of my heart
I am the spaceman flying high
I am the astronaut in the sky
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I am the light in the dark
I am the match; I am the spark
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I am the spaceman flying high
I am the astronaut in the sky
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I am the light in the dark
I am the match; I am the spark
Don't worry, I'm okay now
Just dry your eyes, and I'll be there
Don't live for anger or despair
Don't worry, I'm okay now
I'm okay, I'm okay now

Somewhere out there's a dream that's not forgotten
But this world is never stopping for me
But I will try and I will keep on trying
I set my goals there's no denying
Never stop fighting
For What I believe
Many people will come and go
Many faces long lost you know
Many fights many makeups
Many kisses, too many breakups
I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a low low lonely soul
I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a low low lonely soul
And the time will come when the day is done
And the fighting's over the race is run
I don't know what I'm looking for
And this life I lead it's a curious thing
But I can't deny the happiness it brings
I don't know what I'm looking for
Many people will come and go-o-o
Many faces long lost you know
I'm just a low low lonely soul
And there'll be many fights many makeups
Many kisses, too many breakups
A low low lonely soul
I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a low low lonely soul

Oh love love you tear my world apart
Oh love love you always break my heart
It's been too long since you left me
It's been too long since the start
Oh love love please don't break my heart
Oh love love you always bring me down
Oh love love you turn my life around
Oh I don't know how to tell you
Oh I don't know what to say
But my heart is yours love in every single way
And at night I sit and cry it seems
Wondering why love is not like my dreams
Wondering why I am still here all alone
And at night I wish that you were there
Touching my face and stroking my hair
Telling me things, telling me stories
Telling me you love me and all my glories
Love love you're always in my heart
Oh love love I've known it from the start
Oh I wish that I could tell you
Oh I wish that I could say
That my heart is yours like in every single way
And at night I sit and cry it seems
Wondering why love is not like my dreams
Wondering why I am still here all alone
And at night I wish that you were there
Touching my face and stroking my hair
Telling me things, telling me stories
Telling me you love me and all my glories
Love love I wish that I could see
What in the world you mean to me
Oh love love you always bring me down down down
Oh love love I wish you'd stick around

What makes you different from anyone in here
What makes you stand out from the crowd
What makes your mother so proud of you
What makes us worship at your ground
At night when you go to bed
Do these thoughts run through your head
When you're lying all there alone
Do you think of us instead
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
What makes you happy
What makes you sad
Do paparazzi drive you mad
Do you miss your life back home
Were they the best days that you had
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
I don't care about the spotlight
I don't care about the nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
I don't care about the spotlight or the Hollywood nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life

I believe in everything I see
I believe you do the best for me
It's not a lot, it's all I've got
I believe that the day will come
When you'll see that you're the only one
And the rain will fall from the sky
Guess it's goodbye
Is there anyone you can call
Have you got nobody left at all
Your back's against the wall
Is there no place else you'd rather be
Did you give it all up just for me
I'm sorry if you got me wrong
I'll forgive you
In a song
I wish that I could soar in the sky
I wish that I could fly fly fly
Say goodbye to my mother and bye to my dad
You're all I had
Is there anyone you can call
Have you got nobody left at all
Your back's against the wall
Is there no place else you'd rather be
Did you give it all up just for me
Is there no place else you'd rather be
Did you give it all up just for me

After all the mistakes have been and gone
You're still standing here, standing strong
And I forgive all the wrongs that you have ever done
Cos you're still the only one
The apple of your mother's eye
Your life it passed your father by
I bet he wishes he was there too
So much grace and poise yeah you're always right on cue
And there were times
You know it's true
When the whole world
Was looking at you
They changed their mind from day to night
One minute you're wrong then the next thing you're right
God rest your soul
Keep standing tall my only one
There's still a twinkle in your eye
Even after we say goodbye
You're always there in spirit and in mind
I'll be with you until the end of time
And there were times
You know it's true
When the whole world
Was looking at you
They changed their mind from day to night
One minute you're wrong then the next thing you're right
God rest your soul
Keep standing tall
My only one

I don't care
Who does her hair or
What clothes she wears
I don't care if it's YSL, I don't care if it's Chanel
What matters to me is a strong belief
All this beauty is skin deep
Don't care about hair, don't care about eyes
It's about what's inside
You'll never know who you'll meet on you way to the top
You'll probably see them again when your fame starts to drop
Down down, I'll meet you on the ground
It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes
It's no good when you finally start to realize
I need something more
This pretty face don't work no more
What happened to achieving
What happened to believing in yourself
Why listen to the musings of someone, somebody else
I'm sorry I don't see and I can't quite believe it anymore
What happened to believing that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
You'll never know who you'll meet on you way to the top
You'll probably see them again when your fame starts to drop
Down down, I'll meet you on the ground
It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes
It's no good when you finally start to realize
I need something more
This pretty face don't work no more
You'll never know who you'll meet on you way to the top
You'll probably see them again when your fame starts to drop
Down down, I'll meet you on the ground
It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes
It's no good when you finally start to realize
I need something more
This pretty face don't work no more

Oh the sun may shine through your window on a summer's day
Doesn't change your heavy heart skips a beat each day
You get a temporary high as you watch life pass you by
Every single day you want to cry
Can we wish those tears a fond goodbye
Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while
Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while
Oh the rain may pour and it may fall
But still I'll always always hear you call
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Oh your eyes so blue your smile so white
I think about you every day and night
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while
Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while
Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
Look at these eyes, look at this smile
They're gonna stay around here, for a while

Oh everybody said she was the next big thing
The shining little light on the Saturday night
Dreaming of the day when she could run away
She didn't believe the hype, was right
I knew right from the past
Was never gonna last the feeling's over fast
Now here we go
Now here we go
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game
Please stay in the game
Oh everybody said she was the next big thing
The shining little light on the Saturday night
Finally came the day when she did run away
She didn't believe the hype, was right
I knew right from the past
Was never gonna last the feeling's over fast
Now watch her go
Now watch her go
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game
And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game
And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game
Please stay in the game

Oh the wind is gently blowing
As the light begins to fade
I'm sick and tired of playing it up
Sick of this parade
And your eyes are gently weeping
As the sun begins to shine
The end is coming far too soon
I wish I had more time
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
For someone like you
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
So happy for you
Oh my eyes are getting tired
As the day begins to break
I left it all so far behind
My biggest mistake
And your smile is not like mine
It disapppears from time to time
But I believe in you
Everything you'll ever do
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
For someone like you
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
So happy for you...
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
For someone like you
So soon your time will come
Get out while you're still young
May all your dreams come true
So happy for you...

Maybe in the start we would laugh
Maybe in the end we would cry
But I believe in every book I've ever read
And what you said
And the moon was in the sky
And the tears did fill my eyes
And the memories they all had passed
But in my head they'll always last
And in the end before I could be
I'd shown the world
What it means to me
Believe it or not, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me
Will I ever see your face again
Will I ever touch your skin
I'll never stop loving everything you do
But not me and you
And the moon was in the sky
And the tears did fill my eyes
And the memories they all had passed
But in my head they'll always last
And in the end before I could be
I'd shown the world
What it means to me
Believe it or not, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me
And in the end, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me

I get up in the evening, and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer, radios on and I'm moving round the place
I check myself out in the mirror I wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere just sitting in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is
You can't start a fire...
You sit around getting older there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders come baby this laughs on me
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you got to stay hungry hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting round here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction come on now baby give me just one look
You can't start a fire..

How can one so young predict the future before it comes
And how can one so small
Really see the way the world should be
And yes, your time will come
You're not the only one, the only one
Oh the world is much sweeter
Through the young lovers eyes
But always see our memories of fighting and lies
Oh the grass could be much greener
Through the young lovers eyes
But always believe…………….
And yes, I'm just the same
I'll never change no matter what you say
And life could be much brighter, could be much nicer
If we all lived that way
And yes you'll write a song, we'll sing along out of key
Chorus to end
. . .

A poetic genius
Is something I don't see
Why would a genius be trippin on me?
And there's looking and another
What he can't see is that I'm looking through his eyes
So many lies behind his eyes
And tell me stories from your past
And sing me songs you wrote before
I tell you this my poison prince
You'll soon be knocking on heaven's door
Some kind of poison prince
With your eyes in daze
Some kind of poison prince
Your life is like a maze
And what we all want and what we all crave
Is an upbeat song
So we can dance the night away
Who said life was easy
Who said life was fair
Who said no body gives a damn
And no body even cared
The way you're acting now
Like you left that all behind
You've given up
You've given in
Nother sucker of the slime
Some kind of poison prince
With your eyes in daze
Some kind of poison prince
Your life is like a maze
And what we all want and what we all crave
Is an upbeat song
So we can dance the night away
Some kind of poison prince
With your eyes in daze
Some kind of poison prince
Your life is like a maze
And what we all want and what we all crave
Is an upbeat song
So we can dance the night away

Maybe if you were some spearheaded guy
I would listen to what you have to say
But you're just some incapable figure
Thinking you're bigger than me, but you're not
Yet you don't know a thing about the youth of today
Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day
And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...
And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all
And maybe if you had a true point of view
I would listen to you
But it's just your one sided feelings
They keep getting in my way
And you don't know a single thing about the youth of today
Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day
And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...
And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all
And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...
And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all

Oh here's a story bout a boy named J.
Nothing he did would ever get in my way
But there's still a long, long way to go
I've only ever seen his face on film,
I've only ever heard the lines he'd say
But still they won't, get in my way
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring me down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I'm happy to be by myself
I don't need no-one else
He's never ever seen my face before
I'm trying hard cos this I can't ignore
But there's still a long, long way to go
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring me down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I'm happy to be by myself
I don't need no-one else
All my dreams are built around your face and this place
All the times I'm staring at the sun, you're the one
All my dreams are built around your face and this place
All the times I'm staring at the sun, you're the one
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring me down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I'm happy to be by myself
I don't need no-one else
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring me down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I'm happy to be by myself
I don't need no-one else

Oh Mr James Dean, he don't belong to anything
Oh he left before they could get him
With their ways, their wicked ways
Oh Marilyn Monroe, where did you go?
I didn't hear all your stories
I didn't see all your glory
But the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?
I don't think so
And the girl from that show
Yes the one we all know
She thinks she's some kinda star
Yes you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so
Oh Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire
Won't you dance for me cos I just don't care
What's going on today
I think there's something more, something more
And I'm gone with the wind like they were before
But I'm believing myself I think there's something more
There must be something more
I think there's something more, something more
But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?
I don't think so
And the girl from that show
Yes the one we all know
She thinks she's some kinda star
Yes you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so
Oh I don't believe in the telling of your stories
Throughout your life, there's just something unappealing
It don't catch my eye
It don't catch my eye
Oh I don't believe in the selling of your glories
Before you leave this life, there's so much more to see
I don't believe this is how the world should be
But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?
I don't think so
And the girl from that show
Yes the one we all know
She thinks she's some kinda star
Yes you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so
The footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?

So called Mr Rock And Roll
Is dancing on his own again
Talking on his phone again
To someone who tells him that his balance is low
He's got no where to go
He's on his own again
Rock chick of the century
Is acting like she used to be
Dancing like there's no one there
Before she never seemed to care
Now she wouldn't dance
It's so rock and roll to be alone
And they'll meet one day
Far way
And say "Hey I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say " Hey I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"
Mrs Black and White
She's never seen a shade of grey
Always something on her mind
Every single day
But now she's lost her way
And where does she go from here
Mr Multicultural
Sees all that one can see
He's living proof of someone
Very different to me
But now he wants to be free
Free so he can see
And they'll meet one day
Far way
And say "Hey I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "Hey I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"
He says "I wish I knew you, I wish I met you
When time was still on my side"
She'll say " I wish I knew you, I wish I loved you
Before I was his bride"
And so they must depart
Too many more a broken heart
But I've seen that all before
In TV, books and film and more
And there's a happy ending
Every single day
And they'll meet one day
Far way
And say "Hey I wish I was something more"
And they'll meet one day
Far away
And say "Hey I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I paid
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I paid
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I paid
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside.

Oh the leaves are falling from the trees
And the snow is coming don't you know
But I still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home
Oh the sound is fading in my ears
And I can't believe I've lasted all these years
But I still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home
Oh the light is fading all the time
And this life I'm in, it seemed to pass me by
But I still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home
Now I must say goodbye
Keep telling myself now don't you cry
But I'm here where I belong
I'll see you soon, it won't be long
I'll see you soon, it won't be long
I'll see you soon
It won't be long

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Will you tell me when the lights are fading
'Cause I can't see, I can't see no more
Will you tell me when the song stops playing
'Cause I can't hear, I can't hear no more
She said I don't know what you're living for
She said I don't know what you're living for at all
He said I don't know what you're living for
He said I don't know what you're living for at all
But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for
Will you tell me when the fighting's over
'Cause I can't take, I can't take no more
Will you tell me when the day is done
'Cause I can't run, I can't run no more
She said I don't know what you did it for
She said I don't know what you did it for at all
He said I don't know what you did it for
He said I don't know what you did it for at all
But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for
And I will love until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there's nothing more to live for

I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and I drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and I drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
You're not down with who I am
Look at you now you're all in my hands tonight
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll

Put a ribbon round my neck and call me a libertine
I will sing you songs of dreams I used to dream
I will sail away on seas of silver and gold
Until I reach my home
Give me a guitar and I'll be your troubadour
Your strolling minstrel 12th century door to door
I don't know anymore, if that feeling is past will it last
Oh, how can you be sure?
And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
Give me a stage and I'll be your rock and roll queen
Your 20th century cover of a magazine
Rolling Stone here I come, watch out everyone, I'm singing
I'm singing my song
Give me a festival and I'll be your Glastonbury star
The lights are shining everyone knows who you are
Singing songs about dreams about hopes about schemes
Ooooh, they just came true
And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do

I don't know if - you can see
the changes that have come over me
In these - last few days I've been afraid
that I might drift away.
So I've been telling old stories and singing songs
that make me think about where I came from
and that's the reason why I feel
so far away today
And let me tell you that I love you
that I think about you all the time
Caledonia's been calling me
now I'm going home
And if I should become a stranger
you know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
i've ever had.
Caledonia's been everything
i've ever had....

Oh the lights outside they're as bright as the sun
They're much brighter than anyone
Oh the girls in the queue yes they're waiting for you
Well they're waiting for their song to be sung
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
I wish that I was on the stage
Oh won't you take a ride with me
Through the Barrowland history
And I'll sing you a song or two
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
It's only me and you
And the drink and dance and drugs you know
It's all part of the show we go to
Maybe I should tell you
That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
Tonight, it's only me and you
Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceiling
When the band start to play
Won't you buy me a drink and I'll tell her what I think if she gets in my way
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
I wish that I was on the stage
Oh won't you take a ride with me
Through the Barrowland history
And I'll sing you a song or two
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
It's only me and you
And the drink and dance and drugs you know
It's all part of the show we go to
Maybe I should tell you
That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
Tonight, it's only me and you
And when the night turns to day and the lights they fade away
I wish that love and life would pass me by
And when the band stops a song because there's something going on
Well there is magic in the air I swear
And I wish that I saw Bowie, playing on that stage
I wish that I saw something, to make me come of age
Oh won't you take a ride with me
Through the Barrowland history
And I'll sing you a song or two
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
It's only me and you
And the drink and dance and drugs you know
It's all part of the show we go to
Maybe I should tell you
That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
Tonight, it's only me and you
