In love our problems disapper
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear

All 'round the world
Little children being born to the world
Got to give them all we can 'til the war is won
Then will the work be done

Help them to learn (help them to learn)
Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn(burn, baby burn)
Let us show them how to play the pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace

Help me to learn

Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn
Won't you show me to play (how to play)
The pipes of peace (pipes of peace)

What do you say?(what do you say)
Will the human race be run in a day? (in a day)
Or will someone save this planet we're playing on?
Is it the only one? (what are we going to do?)

Help them to see (help them to see)
That the people here are like you and me (you and me)
Let us show them how to play(how to play)the pipes of
Peace (pipesofpeace)

Say, say, say what you want,
But don't play games with my affection.
Take, take, take what you need,
But don't leave me with no direction.

All alone, I sit home by the phone,
Waiting for you, baby.
Through the years,
How can you stand to hear,
My pleading for you dear?
You know I'm crying ooh ooh ooh ooh.

Go, go, go where you want,
But don't leave me here forever.
You, you, you stay away,
So long girl, I see you never.

What can I do
Girl to get through to you?
Cause I love you baby.
Standing here, baptisted in all my tears,
Baby through the years,
You know I'm crying ooh ooh ooh ooh.

You never worry,
And you never shed a tear.
You saying that my love ain't real,
Just look at my face,
These tears ain't drying

You, you, you can never say,
That I'm not the one who really loves you.
I pray, pray, pray every day
That you'll see things, girl like I do.

What can I do girl, to get through to you? cause I love you baby.
Standing here baptised in all my tears, baby through the years,
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I know I was a crazy fool
For treating you the way I did
But something took hold of me
And I acted like a dustbin lid

I didn't give second though
To what the consequence might be
I really wouldn't be surprised
If you were trying to find another me

The other me would rather be the glad one
The other me would rather play the fool
I want to be the kind of me
That doesn't let you down as a rule

I know it doesn't take a lot
To have a little self-control
But every time that I forgot
Well I landed in another hole

But everytime you pull me out
I find it harder not to see
That we can build a better life
If I can try to find the other me

The other me would rather be the glad one
The other me would rather play the fool
I want to be the kind of me
That doesn't let you down as a rule

But if I ever hurt you
Well you know that it's not real
It's no easy living by yourself
So imagine how I feel

I wish that I could take it back
I'd like to make a different mood
And if you let me try again
I'll have a better attitude

Well I know that one and one make two
And that's what I want us to be
I really would appreciate it
If you'd help me find the other me

The other me would rather be the glad one
The other me would rather play the fool
I want to be the kind of me
That doesn't let you down as a rule

Love, I'm going to pick you up in the morning
Love, I'm going to take you out on a journey
I don't know where I'm going to
But I know what I've been going through
Without you by my side

What good is butter if you haven't got bread?
What good is art when it hurts your head?
Might as well be in bed

Keep under cover 'til the battle has ceased
Keep out of trouble 'til the prisoners are released

What good's a puzzle when you haven't a clue?
What good is me when I'm not with you?
Might as well stay in bed

Keep under cover 'til the clouds desappear
Keep out of trouble 'til the weather is bright and clear

Love, I'm going to pick you up
I'm going to take you out
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I know what I've been going through
Without you by my side
Without you by my side

What good is tennis when there isn't a ball?
What good's a curtain without a call?
Might as well be in bed

Keep under cover 'til the battle has ceased
Keep out of trouble 'til the prisoners are released

Love, I'm going to pick you up
I'm going to take you out
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I know what I've been going through
Without you by my side
Without you by my side

Keep under cover

There is a pain, inside my heart
You mean so much to me
Girl, I love you, girl, I love you so bad

And if you leave, my pain will go
But that's no good to me
Girl, I love you, yes, I love you so bad

Well it feels so good, sometimes it feels so bad
This is worse than anything I've ever had

There was a pain, but now you're here
And I don't fear a thing
Girl, I love you, yes, I love you so bad
And she said, boy, I love you
Boy, I love you so bad

Girl, I love you
Girl, I love you so bad

Well it feels so good, sometimes it feels so bad
This is worse than anything I've ever had

There was a pain, but now you're near
And I don't fear a thing
Girl, I love you
Girl, I love you so bad
And she said
Boy, I love you
Boy, I love you so bad
Girl, I love you
Girl, I love you

There's a man
Who plays the game of life so well
There's such a man
His thoughts you can never tell
And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man

There's a man
Everybody thought they knew
There's such a man
He's not like me and you
And it's just the way she thought it would be
As he says, something has happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man

And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man

Did you know - this man can do anything?
There's such a man
I wish that we could bring
And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man

There's a man
Everybody thought they knew
There's such a man
He's not like me and you
And it's just the way she thought it would be
As he says, something has happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man

This is the man
This is the man
This is the man

Well they can treat you like a brother
Yeah they can treat you like a clown
But if they treat you like a lover
They've got the sweetest little show in town
You got the sweetest little show
Sweetest little show
Sweetest little show in town

You've been around a long time
But you're still good for a while
And if they try to criticise you
Make them smile, make them smile

And if they treat you like a brother
Well you will never let them down
But if they treat you like a lover
They've got the sweetest little show in town
They got the sweetest little show
Sweetest little show
Sweetest little show in town

You got the sweetest little show
Sweetest little show
Sweetest little show in town

You got the sweetest little show
Sweetest little show...

Look at the average person
Speak to the man in the street
Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?

Well, I'm talking to a former engine driver
Trying to find out what he used to do
Tells me that he always kept his engine
Spit and polished up as good as new
But he said his only great ambition
Was to work with lions in a zoo
Oh to work with lions in a zoo
Yes dear, you heard right
Told me his ambition was to work with lions every night

Look at the average person
Speak to the man on the beat
Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?

Well, I met a woman working as a waitress
I asked exactly what it was she did
Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides
Winter time she ran away and hid
Once she had a hollywood audition
But the part was given to a kid
Yes,the part was given to a kid
Yes sir, you heard it right
Hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight

Well I bumped into a man who'd been a boxer
Asked him what had been his greatest night
He looked into the corners of his memory
Searching for a picture of the fight
But he said he always had a feeling
That he lacked a little extra height
(Could have used a little extra height)
Yes mate, you heard right
He always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height

Look at the average person
Speak to the man in the queue
Can you imagine the first one is you?

Look at the average person.

It's a tug of war
No no, your troubles cease when you learn to play the pipes of peace
It's a tug of war
No no, your troubles cease when you learn to play the pipes of peace
What with one thing and another
It's a tug of war
No no no no

It's a tug of war
No no, your troubles cease when you learn to play the pipes of peace
It's a tug of war,
Learn to play the pipes of peace
Pushing, pushing
Pulling, pulling
Pushing, pulling

We... wasted time and again
On things... things we already knew
Born to do... I give my love to you

Whenever you get some time
Whenever you get some time
I'd like to roll it all
Up in ball
And spend it with you
You've got the power of love
And love has the power, to make it come true
We can go through our love
We can do things that they said were impossible
Through our love
We can do all that we want to do
We can go through our love
We can go through our love

Whenever you will be mine
Whenever you will be mine
I want to be with you
Just want to do whatever feels right
You've got the power of love
And love has the power to turn on the light

Here we go through our love
We can see things that they said were invisible
Through our love
We can see where we are going to
We're going through our love
Through our love we can learn to do things that they said were
Impossible
Through our love
We can be blessed with a better view
We can go through our love
We can go through our love
We can go through our love

Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain we'll never give in
Side by side, hand in hand
We all stand together
Play the game, fight the fight
But what's the point on a beautiful night?
Arm in arm, hand in hand
We all stand together
La
Keeping us warm in the night
La la la la
Walk in the night
You'll get it right
Repeat
Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain we'll never give in
Side by side, hand in hand
We all stand together

Now I know that it can easily happen
To someone like me
I don't want to step on anybody's toes

Who knows how to find love
Think before you give your answer
Who knows what a mystery may bring

Once in a life I'm a lucky man
If I can find the kind of love
That's gonna last for me

Twice in a lifetime
Is one of those unspoken dreams
We usually reserve for fantasy

Who knows how we find love
Stop before you give your answer
Who knows when a mystery begins

I know, I know
I know because it's happening to me
I know, I know

Twice in a lifetime
Is one of those unspoken dreams
We usually reserve for fantasy

Who knows how we find love
Stop before you give your answer
Who knows when a mystery begins

I know, I know
I know because it's happening to me
I know, I know

I know it isn't easy to refuse
A lot of thoughts are flying through your head
Tell me this before you have to choose
Would you rather be alive or dead?

It's as simple as that
Would you rather be alive or dead
It's as simple as that, it's so simple
It makes you wanna cry

They ask you if you wanna join in
You linger for a minute or so
Well now's a perfect time to begin
Are you gonna say yes or no?

It's as simple as that
Are you gonna say yes or no?
If 's as simple as that, it's so simple
It makes you wanna cry

And if you love your life
Everybody will love you too
Yes if you love your life
Everybody will love you too

It's harder when you start to get round
I want you to remember what I said
I know you never like to let them down
But would you rather be alive or dead?

It's as simple as that
Would you rather be alive or dead?
It's as simple as that, if 's so simple
It makes me wanna cry

Yes if you love your life
Everybody will love you too
And if you love your life
Everybody will love you too

Would you rather be alive or dead?
Would you rather be alive or dead?
Would you?

It's as simple as that
It's as simple as that
It's as simple as that
