Saturday night! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: MISSING YOU Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away And I'm wonderin' why you left And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost drivin' me wild And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what the world might say There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight You don't know how desperate I've become And it looks like I'm losing this fight In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight Chorus: I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload (chorus) I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight (chorus) Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you... (to fade) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: DARK SIDE OF THE SUN I looked over my shoulder, straight into your eyes As you stood in my shadow, in some loud disguise You were lookin' straight through me, like a piece of glass Out of step with the fashion, fashions always pass I've been living on the dark side of the sun Waiting for something that would never come Feeling restless and traded, my heartbeat paralyzed Like some refugee hero, to beat him out every night In some rock 'n' roll wasteland, in a thousand hours Run with dawn and keep smiling, present them with the flowers I've been living on the dark side of the sun Waiting for something that would never come And I've been running down the shadows, like a street gang to survive Hoping for something to keep me alive (Solo) I looked over my shoulder, fire in my eyes We were looking for justice, what we got was a great big surprise We've been living on the dark side of the sun Waiting for something that would never come And we've been running from the shadows, like some street gang to survive Waiting for something to keep us alive Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh I been living on the dark side - whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh And I've been running from the shadows - whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh... (to fade) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: RESTLESS HEART Three years come, I'm still alone and you're so lonely I look in the mirror, I see those lines on my face All of my dreams are gone, flyin' with the starlings But they were not stolen gems, coloured glass I can't replace Chorus: You've got a restless heart, restless change is blowing through your life Tears in your eyes, and tears in the books that I've been reading I don't understand you now, and I never did But I still love your restless heart Days into nights and nights into days, lights flicker 'round me And down to the shore I walk, I'm haunted by your face Ungracious moves I've made, just like a broken dancer If I could get you back, they are steps I would retrace (chorus - with "...and I never will") (Solo) Three years come, you're still alone and I'm so lonely And I would give anything, to feel my heart beat again I wouldn't say that I've been losin' time, I've been dreamin' And I'd give up anything to keep you as my friend (chorus - with "But I love you") And I know you've got a restless heart (Restless heart) I know you've got a restless heart (you) (Restless heart) I know (you) You got a restless heart (restless heart), and I know it (you) You got a restless heart (restless heart), you got a restless heart (you) I know it (restless heart), but I'm just like you (you), just like you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: TEARS You left me here alone, I guess I'll never see the light You turned another stone and he makes your wrong seem right On some different wavelength, somehow he brings you more Sweetheart tonight I know for sure Chorus: I'll see those tears, and the damage they do You're breaking my heart with those tears, and I'm crying over you Can we make a new start? Of all the girls I've had at my knees You're the only one, who could bring me to these tears A master of the beat, you've got my number in your hands A killer on the streets, you've got your actions planned But somewhere in your heart there must be a place for me Sweetheart tonight I know for sure (chorus) (Solo) I'm lookin' at you, you're lookin' at me You won't let me go, but you won't set me free Of those tears, and the damage they do You're breaking my heart with those tears, and I'm crying over you Cry for you tonight, I'll cry you a river I'm gonna - cry for you - I'm gonna cry you a river Cry you a river - tonight - cry for you - I'm gonna - cry for you tonight Cry for you - I'm gonna - cry you a river - cry for you, cry for you tonight ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: EUROSHIMA Storm warning on the radio, flag and banners Armageddon on the late night show, and like my father before We've got love on the barricades Sweet optimists, battle hymns and hitparades Armageddon cascades, what's my name? Jack of Spades Outside my window is darkness and rain And I'm only dreamin', 'til the sun shines again Got nothing but a uniform, jungle issue, and rules that I will warm [All my needs like a storm]/[On my knees, head cast down] Serial number stands across my name My fate is decided by kangaroo cops, it's insane Tin soldiers marching in flames, what's my name? Jack of Spades Outside my window is darkness and rain And I'm only dreamin', until the sun shines again But there's no phoenix rising, and the future's stillborn And the shadows are dancing, my coat of colours is torn, in Euro (Solo) Supernova on the Baltic Sea, push-button logic, [the human eyes in me] And it gets a lot like TV We've got children starving in the streets Genocide for passion, and no man withstands this heat Kids in [Parm] don't compete, the boss gets the [iron in the cold] Outside my window, clouds fill my sky And I'm only dreamin', but there's no time to turn the tide There's no phoenix rising, and the future's stillborn Dark shadows are dancing, my coat of colours is torn, in Euroshima Oh no, Euro, Euroshima, oh no, Euro, ow! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: DREAMTIME / SHAKE IT UP If I fall right out asleep Deep sea divin' in the dark with those creatures of the deep Broken skis over silent snow As the ground comes up to meet me, is it then you'll let me go? Here we go, to the other side, no one comes back, and but a few survive Me I'm heading south, for the border line, she and I, this is it, 1965 Twist and shout, this ain't no luxury cruise, and your eyes are full of doubt Chinatown under neon lights, ooh she's coming and she's going in a cheap hotel Chorus: Here we go, to the other side, no one comes back, and but a few survive Me I'm headed south, for the border line, she and I, this is it It's dreamtime So come on, dreamtime, vision of, oh, guitar (Solo) (chorus) So come on, dreamtime, vision of, dream time to shake it up Dream time tonight You might even want to shake it up, come a little closer, twist and shout You look so good, come on, coming out Shake it up, ooh ooh, look so fine, shake it up baby, shake it up Shake it up baby, twist and shout, shake it up baby, shake, shake it up baby Shake it up baby, work it on out, shake it up, shake it up, shake it up Shake it up, ow! Shake it up, come a little closer, twist and shout You look so good, come on, you're so fine, ow! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: FOR YOUR LOVE Thinkin' 'bout you tonight, in a 3-D hotel room in Rome Chain smoking American cigarettes, and keeping my ears to the phone Through the blinds to the street my mind wanders To the nights when I had you alone Reality becomes science fiction, and my heart's in the warzone If you won't free me from riding in this rodeo Juliet loves tonight her vicious Romeo For your love, I'd give you anything, the stars and the moon in the sky above Existing for you alone and the moments we steal from each other A millionaire I'll become, and cry out my name as your lover I was travelling light as I checked into this heartbreak chateau But there's no place for me in the sun, that doesn't cast a shadow Time will free me from riding in this rodeo Juliet loves tonight her vicious Romeo For your love, I'd give you anything (for your love) The stars and the moon in the sky above (for your love) You say I'm your world, but you are my universe (for your love) You say that you want me, but you get love's curse (Solo) I was travelling light when I checked into this heartbreak chateau And there's no place for me in the sun, that doesn't cast a shadow For your love, I'd give you anything (for your love) The moon and the stars in the sky above (for your love) You say I'm your world, but baby you are my universe (for your love) You say that you want me, but all you get's love's curse - ow!
