ANCHORS AWEIGH
Eighteen
I’d never been far from home
A young lad seekin’ destiny
This ship
With a hundred hands or more
I don’t know how we can find our way
With only the stars in the sky
To be our guide
I was green inside
When I heard the captain calling
Anchors aweigh now
Anchors aweigh
We’re underway now
Anchors aweigh
I’ve heard tales of boats that ran aground
Ghost ships dead in the sun
And of men bewitched by the siren’s song
Those that died were the lucky ones
One wave can knock a man overboard
And in the name of the crown
A man could drown
I was feeling down
When I heard the captain calling
Anchors aweigh now
Anchors aweigh
We’re underway now
Anchors aweigh

WHEREVER YOU ARE
Whenever your shadow falls on stony ground
And there’s not a hand for you to hold
Whenever the dreams you dream come crashing down
Every time you think of home
Remember that you’re not alone
And we’ll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are
And if you should lose your path along the way
And find yourself walking in the dark
Whenever the ones you love seem far away
Every time you think of home
Remember that you’re not alone
And we’ll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are
(Sail on home)
Some are lost and some are lonely
Drifting away but they are only
Reaching out for love to hold on to
(Sail on home)
Mother father sister brother
Giving strength to one another
Guide them where the healing waters flow
Every time you think of home
Remember that you’re not alone
And we’ll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are

RAILROAD TO HEAVEN
We’re gonna take a trip to some new destination
I got a pair of tickets for a dream tonight
You don’t know what love is like
Baby till you ride on the good love line
‘Cause we’ll be travellin’ on a train tp Paradise
Won’t you pack your bags and ride the
Railroad to heaven
Steamin’ through the dark
Get on the right track baby
Choo-choo round my heart
Woo woo woo woah yeah
I wanna be your driver wanna be your conductor
Make a reservation on the Love express
My heart is just speedin’ away
‘Cause our love is like a runaway train
I don’t ever want to slow this motion down
Baby we’re just ridin’ on the
Railroad to heaven
Steamin’ through the dark
Get on the right track baby
Choo-choo round my heart
Woo woo woo woah yeah
Passin’ cars and countin’ stars
We’ll watch the world go by
Let’s make a locomotion
Shakin’ up the floor
Just give me a little signal now Honey
All on board Ha!

HE SAID SHE SAID
It’s no misunderstanding
When pain goes hand in hand
You always play the bad guy
She the sacrificial lamb
Feel as vulnerable as a woman
And she takes it like a man
Listen what he said she said
He said she said
Push and pull up and down
Back and forth on the merry-go-round
And on and on it goes till someone throws it away
You’ll pay for your admission
When you find you’re losing ground
So you fight for your position
But nobody’s backing down
You thought you’d spoken clearly
But she reads between the lines
Push and pull up and down
Back and forth on the merry-go-round
And on and on it goes till someone throws it away
Why can’t we agree to be more tender?
Surrender mmm mmm
If two people care it should be easy happy
Why can’t we be?
You’ll try to make the best of it
While looking in her eyes
Till you find yourself in trouble
And you learn to compromise
But still somehow you keep thinkin’
That she hurt your foolish pride
Listen what he said she said
He said she said

SPELL ON YOU
Little by little
I feel you slippin' from me
He's playin' his hand
And now it's easy to see
Oh baby now little by little
You're takin' him seriously
And I'm so scared of where it ends
You're in too deep to be just friends
Somebody went and put a spell on you
Makin' you do what you shouldn't do
Hypnotised you into playin' a fool
Somebody went and put a spell on you
Little by little
He's tryin' to take you away
And if you wanna go
I guess there's nothin' to say
Oh baby now don't do that
I want you to stay
Protect our love don’t let it slip
Just hold on fast or I'll lose my grip
Somebody went and put a spell on you
Makin' you do what you shouldn't do
Hypnotised you into playin' a fool
Somebody went and put a spell on you
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up baby
Ah don’t you know
He's playing a dangerous game
Break it up, break it up
Break it up now
Before it goes too far
'Cause the magic's got to end
And you'll be left without a friend

DON’T PLAY THAT SONG
I remember warm and tender sighs
The night before she said goodbye
The song that we liked playing just for her and I
Now when I hear it I just come apart
It’s like a needle in my heart
Each time the music starts
Please DJ don’t put that on
We fell in love to that one
Don’t play that song on the radio oh
It’s so hard to forget
So here is my request
Don’t play that song on the radio
I recall the way she held my arm
As we were dancing in the dawn
The radio on
Swaying to the same old song
It used to sound just like a lullaby
But now, it only makes me cry
So don’t play that one tonight
Please DJ don’t put that on
We fell in love to that one
Don’t play that song on the radio oh
It’s so hard to forget
So here is my request
Don’t play that song on the radio
On and on and round and round
The record spins
Every time it’s on I keep rememberin’
The things we did together
Now they’re gone forever
Round and round it keeps repeating
In my ear
All the words of love that I won’t ever hear
I’m walkin’ in the rain (remember)
Don’t play that song again

PICTURES OF PARIS
Right bank left bank
Two troubled souls on a starry French night
She goes he stays
All on his own in the city of lights
All that he’s left with are pictures of Paris
Memories of her on the Champs Elysees
Trashing his life on the sidewalks of Paris
She said love’s dead
She walks away as he sits there in shame
Gets drunk heart sunk
Watching his dreams as they float down the Seine
All that he’s left with are pictures of Paris
Memories of her on the Champs Elysees
Trashing his life on the sidewalks of Paris
Cafes soirees
He should feel happy but now it’s all wrong
Bells peal but he feels more like
The hunchback of Notre Dame
All that he’s left with are pictures of Paris
Memories of her on the Champs Elysees
Trashing his life on the sidewalks of Paris
East side west side
Back to New York he is hungry and wet
Last chance romance
Pictures of Paris are all he has left

MAYBE
Maybe just lately I’m lonely
Maybe things at home not what they should be
And maybe I notice the way you act around me
But you shouldn’t take it too seriously
Maybe I called you but that doesn’t mean
That I really want you close to me
But maybe I knew we’d both end up here in this way
You, you make it so easy to stray
Maybe I’m tempted but it ain’t right
Maybe I better say goodnight
But maybe I’m human and passion’s strong
Maybe I can’t stop what we’ve begun
Maybe there’s trouble for me and my wife
Maybe our coming here was unwise
But maybe I see my reflection in your shining eyes
You, you make it too easy to stay
Maybe I’m tempted but it ain’t right
Maybe I better say goodnight
But maybe I’m human and passion’s strong
Maybe I can’t stop what we’ve begun
Want you too much
Yes I want you too much
Yes I burn for your touch
Oooh
Lookin’ that way
You make it too easy for me
Oooh to lose control

MADELEINE
Mad Madeleine
Mad about Madeleine
I’ve been born again
Glad about Madeleine
I rejoice amen
Sad without Madeleine
Right on course again
Mad about Madeleine
If you see me steppin’ on down the street
Cool cat in the heat
Wasn’t easy but now I’m glad I’m here
Grinnin’ from ear to ear
Madeleine
I do believe that I’ve been born again
I’ve found a reason to rejoice amen
I’ve seen the light
I’m right on course again
Mad about Madeleine
Nothin’ doin’ I tip-toed through the mines
Fallin’ on troubled times
Was on the road to ruin
Deep down quite a while
But now I got a brand new style
I believe the world’s a better place
Just because a smile’s upon her face
Inch by inch she helped me find my way
And now I’ve finally found her
Gonna build my world around her

When I was boy in my home town
I did not know that I'd be throwin' down
But as I got older, I got bolder
Realising I would never falter
With this all new sound talent to my name
Like DMC, I was looking for fame
