I Think We're Alone Now
01:45

"Children, behave"
That's what they say when we're together
"And watch how you play"
They don't understand
And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around

War Stories
02:43
|
|||
Snow falls and we make our way to frontiers we are sent
Delay can be dangerous, danger till the end
Back against the wall, young men heed the call
Prisoners take control, soon be going home
War stories, Sergeant Fury, war stories, Captain Hurricane
War stories, Johnny Red, war stories, this is it, this is it
Nightfall and the tanks roll by, I see them lie in vain
Scared that I'm prepared to die, I smile to hide my pain
Gonna save my soul, in the all-time low
Generals keep score, soon be going home
War stories, Sergeant Fury, war stories, Captain Hurricane
War stories, Johnny Red, war stories, this is it, this is it
V-E is they say, Liberation Holiday
Invasion Ally day, we're in sight of victory
[Guitar Solo]
Up against the wall, young men heed the call
Prisoners, oh oh, soon be going home
War stories, war stories
War stories, Johnny Red, war stories
War stories, Sergeant Fury, war stories, Captain Hurricane
War stories, Johnny Red, war stories, this is it, this is it
This is it, this is it!
This is it!

Kids in America
03:02
|

Looking out a dirty old window, down below, the cars in the city
Go rushing by, I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving, I can feel the heat, but it's
Soothing, heading down, I search for the beat in this
Downtown, the young ones are going
Downtown, the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America (Whoa)
We're the kids in America (Whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Bright lights, the music gets faster, look, boy, don't check your
Watch, not another glance, I'm not leaving now, honey, not a
Chance, hot-shot, give me no problems, much later, baby, you'll be
Saying "Never mind," you know life is cruel, life is never
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
We're the kids in America (Whoa)
We're the kids in America (Whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Sha la la la-la la-la
Sha la la la la-la la (Sing!)
Sha la la la-la la-la
Sha la la la-la la
Come closer, honey, that's better, got to get a brand new
Experience, feeling right, oh, don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight
Outside, a new day is dawning, outside, suburbia's sprawling
Everywhere, I don't want to go, baby
New York to East California
There's a new wave coming, I warn ya
We're the kids in America (Whoa)
We're the kids in America (Whoa)
Everybody lives for the music-go-round
Sha la la la-la la-la
Sha la la la la-la la (Sing!)
Sha la la la-la la-la
Sha la la la-la la
We're the kids, we're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids, we're the kids
We're the kids in America

Not That Way Anymore
02:35

I used to be so cruel to ya, jealous of every boy you talk too
And I was so possessive, I held on so tight until I lost you
I made you cry, so many times that I'm
Always going out of my mind, but baby, I'm not that way anymore
Now I'm sleeping around the town, now baby, I do not enjoy it
Saying it was all my fault now really tends to annoy me
I made you cry, so many times that I'm
Always going out of my mind, but baby, I'm not that way anymore
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
You know it's too late today, never pick up where we left off
[Guitar Solo]
I made you cry, so many times that I'm
Always going out of my mind, but baby, I'm not that way anymore
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
You know it's too late today, never pick up where we left off
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
Can't you see, I'm not that way anymore
You know it's too late today
There's still time, there's still time
There's still time, there's still time
There's still time, there's still time
There's still time, there's still time
There's still time...

Amico

Tu piangi e non vuoi dirmi la verità
Cosa c'è che non va?
Però io so, l'amavi e se ne andò
Ma io ti aiuterò (a-u) ed allegro ti rivedrò
Amico, canta ancora insieme a me
Ridi ancora insieme a me
In fondo sai che questi guai
Un giorno certo tu li scorderai
Stasera non sorridi, non sei più tu
Ma perché, ma perché?
È perché qualcuno se ne andò
Ma io t'aiuterò (a-u) ed allegro ti rivedrò
Amico, canta ancora insieme a me
Ridi ancora insieme a me
In fondo sai che questi guai
Un giorno certo tu li scorderai
[Guitar Solo]
Oh, oh, scommetti che
Io riderò con te
Stasera non sorridi, non sei più tu
Ma perché, ma perché?
È perché qualcuno se ne andò
Ma io t'aiuterò (a-u) ed allegro ti rivedrò
Amico, canta ancora insieme a me
Ridi ancora insieme a me
In fondo sai che questi guai
Un giorno certo tu li scorderai
Amico, la la la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la la la la la
Amico, la la la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la la la la la...

Manic Monday
02:14
|
|||
Six o'clock already, I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late, 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made
It's just another manic Monday, I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day, my I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday
Have to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane, I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train, but the boss is already there
It's just another manic Monday, I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day, my I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday
All of these nights, why did my lover have to pick
Last night to get down? (Last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us?
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
"C'mon honey, let's go make some noise."
It's just another manic Monday, I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day, my I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday, I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day, my I don't have to run day, it's just another manic Monday

Corpus Christi
03:00
|
|||
In the beginning there was a void except for the written word
I was born in such foolish times, my guilt is guaranteed
Now I don't want to burn in Hell, John told me that I would
Unless I went down to the water, my sins purged in his holy blood
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
Now I've got my bleeding heart, and I wear my crown of thorns
And argue with the old men about the tapestry was torn
I've got to sacrifice my ego, it's such a small price to pay, I'm
Waiting for the resurrection, gonna find out what Christ would say
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
[Guitar Solo]
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
Read another bible story, I've got to find the truth
Sending loads of telegrams to God, prove my faith is absolute
Going down down on my knees and pray, maybe I'll buy a talisman
Something's got to save me on the judgement day
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross
See how they run, sheep to the fold
See how they fall, corpse from the cross

That Thing You Do!
02:14
|
|||
You doing that thing you do
Breaking my heart into a million pieces like you always do
And you don't mean to be cruel
You never even knew about the heartache I’ve been going through
Well, I try and try to forget you, girl, but it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do
I know all the games you play, and I'm gonna find a way
To let you know that you’ll be mine someday
'Cause we could be happy, can't you see? If you'd only let me
Be the one to hold you and keep you here with me
'Cause I try and try to forget you, girl, but it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do
I don't ask a lot, girl (I don't ask a lot, girl)
But I know one thing’s for sure (know one thing’s for sure)
It's the love I haven’t got, girl
And I just can't take it anymore
[Guitar Solo]
'Cause we could be happy, can't you see? If you’d only let me
Be the one to hold you and keep you here with me
'Cause it hurts me so just to see you go around with someone new
And if I know you, you're doing that thing
Everyday, just doing that thing
I can't take you doing that thing you do

That's Rock 'n' Roll
02:21
|
|||
Well, I was sixteen, and sick of school
I didn't know what I wanted to do
I bought a guitar, I got the fever
That's rock 'n' roll
I played at parties, played in bars
I spent my money buyin' blue guitars
I screamed my heart out, but how I loved it
That's rock 'n' roll
Well, come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down
That's rock 'n roll
It's when the smokin' and the heat
Have got your heart pounding right with the beat
Don't try to fight it, just get excited
That's rock 'n' roll
Well, it's the roadies and the crowd
It's when the band's playin' way too loud
Your hips are shakin', ain't no mistakin'
That's rock 'n' roll
Well, come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down
That's rock 'n' roll, woo!
[Guitar Solo]
Well, come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down
That's rock 'n' roll
Now, don't you worry, 'bout bein' a star
It doesn't matter who or what you are
Just get the rhythm, and let it feel ya
That's rock 'n' roll
And if you feel it, clap your hands
Let's see some sweat for the kids in the band
Now lemme hear ya, oh, lemme hear ya
That's rock 'n' roll
Come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down
That's rock 'n' roll
Well, come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down, get with it
Come on, everybody, get down
That's rock 'n' roll
