Summer Night City
Under Attack
You Owe Me One
The Day Before You Came
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
I watched the ship leaving harbor at midnight
I'm sorry Cassandra
I was out for the morning sun
And I close my eyes
As he disappeared in his car
Baby how could you do it
Then you smiled and you took my hand
You hate, you scream, you swear
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
You come, you stay, you go
It's a dead end street
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
They were closer now Fernando
There was something in the air that night
Now we're old and grey Fernando
There was something in the air that night
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
Half past twelve
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Movie stars
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
There's not a soul out there
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Early this morning I drove in the rain
After all I've had to go through
Guess I've been working a little too hard
It's so exciting, why should I pretend
After all I've had to go through
I've got a feeling the dream will come true
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
I'm the street you walk
People feed me with their lives I am a hungry soul
I'm the street you walk
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
Coming through a cloud
(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)
I'm the street you walk
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)
The skyline is me and the energy
You let me be
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)
I'm the street you walk
And a million voices blend into a single voice
(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)
The skyline is me and the energy
You let me be
Until that day
Just like that...
And once again, the river's flowing slowly,
Just like that...
I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary
You must have a lovelight
How I remember the first time we went to the movies
You must have a lovelight
And I feel so good
(fade)
I have tried in vain never had success
Merry-go-round
Looking for someone
Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
Put on your white sombrero
Put on your white sombrero
Put on your white sombrero
You'll never take me
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
He stands towering over me beside my bed
He's (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought
Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown
High and mighty his banner flies
Summer Night City (full-lengt version)
In the night a new day dawning
Summer night city...
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
In the sun I feel like sleeping
When the night comes with the action
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
It's elusive call it glitter
When the night comes with the action
Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
(repeat 2x and fade)
Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go
Under attack, I'm being taken
This is getting crazy, I should tell him so
Under attack, I'm being taken
(fade)
Now there's a shadow passing over our faces
Aha um hum
I wasn't ready for this kind of intrusion
Aha um hum
I must left my house at eight, becouse I always do
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
I must have open my front at eight o'clock or so
And turning out the light
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone in your bed
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know you're fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I'm sorry Cassandra
Couldn't sleep so I thought I'd take a walk
I was thinking of you and me
And I went to your house 'cos I had to talk
I could hardly believe my eyes
When I saw this guy closing your front door
Had a feeling of emptiness
Like I've never had before
Will you leave me, girl?
And I realise
It's a crazy world
I was stunned and I didn't know what to do
Everything I had ever been
Everything in my life's a part of you
And I just couldn't move my feet
So I stood on the pavement as you came out
You acted as you didn't know
What it was all about
You just told me lies
Had you been behind my back with other guys?
Baby how could you tell me
There was only me
I was stupid to believe you
I was blind but now I see
"There is something," you said "that you may not know.
There's a couple of men in my life,
And one of them is my brother Joe.
He's been gone for a long long time
But he's back and I think he's gonna stay.
You'll be seeing a lot of him
He's so nice in every way."
And still you never reach him
You curse, you try to scare
But you can never teach him
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for Elaine, Elaine,Elaine
You know they're gonna get you
You try to break away
But they will never let you
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
You're like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul
It really doesn't matter
You've done it all before
By now they'll know the pattern
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
You're like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul
Now that you're gone, you know they're gonna get you
Now that you're gone, you know they'll never let you
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
You're like a goldfish in a bowl
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul
Now that you're gone, you know they're gonna get you
Now that you're gone, you know they'll never let you
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
No one to hear my prayer
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Out to the airport to get on the plane
Hey Honolulu, we're going to happy Hawaii
Alice has been there, she said it was fun
Swimming and surfing, enjoying the sun
Hey Honololu, we're going to happy Hawaii
I'm making no plans (making no plans oh-ooh)
But I, but I believe love gives me a second chance
Need a vacation, I'll send you a card
From Honolulu, a greeting from happy Hawaii
In a few hours the plane will descend
Hey Honolulu, we're going to happy Hawaii
I can imagine the beach and the sand
Walking with someone and holding his hand
Hey Honolulu, we're going to happy Hawaii
I'm making no plans (making no plans oh-ooh)
But I, but I believe love gives me a second chance, mmm
Somebody's waiting and I'll forget you
Hey Honolulu, we're going to happy Hawaii
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
And you feel a strange attraction
The air is vibrant and electrified
Welcome to me here I am my arms are open wide
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
People come and take their chances
Sometimes you win sometimes youlose a lot
Come make your own contribution to this melting pot
The language you talk
I am the city
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells
And the turmoil the cars and the people
The air that you're breathing is me
Yes I am the city you let me be
And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night
Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet
But come the night they will be dancing in the neon light
Dazzled by the crazy magic
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf
And in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh
The language you talk
I am the city
The skyline is me and the energy
I am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells
And the turmoil the cars and the people
The parks and the squares that you see
All the sounds that you hear
And the air that you're breathing is me
Yes I am the city you let me be
And the funny smells
And the turmoil the cars and the people
The air that you're breathing is me
You're looking at me from above
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
The language you talk
I am the city
Yes I am the city you let me be
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
I am the city
There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
The language you talk
I am the city
Yes I am the city you let me be
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
I am the city
My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course,
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force.
My strongholds broke down all too easily;
I remember well,
How it did embarrass me;
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Following the same and uneventful course.
Now the tears have dried,
it's become a pleasant break,
I recall without remorse.
But now and then
I wonder where he is
And I will admit,
he had something that I miss.
I guess he was a rolling stone;
The only one I've known.
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard
So I can't understand how it's happened, how everything's changing
This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter
Everything around you is lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight
We had decided to meet on the corner downtown
And I waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me
And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter
When you came into my life it all got so much brighter
Everything around you is lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight
And I feel so right
And I know that you must have a lovelight
You've got lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
You've got lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight
Everything about you is right
Let it glow and let it be bright
I don't want to lose your lovelight
Shining like a star in the night
So it seems my life is nothing but a mess
I have lost my only friend
Now it seems I have to start again
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round
Who would want to stay
I might find her
With a bit of luck one day
But who knows
So until then
I can only try and try again
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round
Saddle your horse my dear
And ride off into the sunset
You'd better go for there is no
Place for you here
Like an old fashoned hero
You stand before me
You think our life is a movie
My world is real
I live and feel
And I can do, without you
Your red bandana too
Think of this day as a showdown
Goodbye my friend
This is the end
For me and you
Now be a bold vaquero
Don't show your feelings
I'll cry while you're disappearing
Into the night
All dressed in white
Unchained and free, without me
Like all the comboys do
Go find a sweet seniorita
Somebody meek
Who'll never speak
Harshly to you
You're such a caballero
Proud, never bending
I want someone who will take me
Just as I am
I need a man
Who is in rhyme
With his time
Just as I am
I need a man
Who is in rhyme
With his time
How I wish this road would take me home where I belong
Cause I have found no other place where I will stay
I'm tired and all my dreams have failed along the way
Though I wonder what my folks would think about me now
I guess I've changed, like people do, when things go wrong
But in the end, somehow I know, we'll get along
I'm on my way
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
How I wish to see the old house where I used to live
And all my friends, will they be there, when I come home
How I regret the day when I set out to roam
I'm on my way
Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
Losing his head
Tells me I must take him seriously
Droning on the usual way
He's such a clever guy
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (me) all his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does
And me I get so tired
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
(All I see is)
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry
Cold as a stone
No (no) more (more) pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
(All I see is)
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach
Summer night city...
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
Summer night city
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free
Aa-ahhh
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
Summer night city
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow, when the dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
Summer night city
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter and it troubles me so
(You know that I'm nobody's fool)
I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby and I think I must be
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now cos I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I would know how
Really let my anger show
Persuade him that the answer to his questions is a definite no
(I'm kind of certain that's the truth)
Guess I'm kind of flattered but I'm scared as well
Something like a magic spell
I hardly dare to think of what would happen, where I'd be if I fell
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now cos I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I won't know how
Under attack, I'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody see and save a heart
Come and rescue me now cos I'm falling apart
Under attack, I'm taking cover
He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing can stop him now
Should I want to, I'm not sure, I would know how
Doubt forever in our hearts
And in a while we'll have to pick up the traces
We won't find the missing parts.
Buy me a ticket I'll go to the Bahamas
I need a rest from our petty little dramas
Yes I really do
Look what you've done
I'm missing all the fun,
Baby you owe me one.
Aha un hum
It's my turn to run
A chance to see the sun,
Baby you owe me one.
I was taken by surprise
Now both of us are in a state of confusion
Hesitation on our hearts.
Something unwanted has entered our existence
I think it's better to view it from a distance
Yes I really do
Look what you've done
I'm missing all the fun,
Baby you owe me one.
Aha un hum
It's my turn to run
A chance to see the sun,
Baby you owe me one.
My train, I'm certain, left station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt a must have frowned
I must have make my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bench
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came
And at the time I never ever noticed I was blue
I must kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exeption to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
The day before you came
And stopped alone the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Mariilyn Frech or something in that style
It's funny, but I have no sence of living without aim
The day before you came
I must have yaned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came
