There's a shady summer on my mind
I close my eyes and see you far behind
You've been away so long
You seem so hard to find

There's a timeless image in my eye
As another mellow sunset fades the sky
The stuff
That memories are made of
Pass me by
There's a woma

All night
Living for the love of the land
Champagne is waiting
To chill me right down to the bone
There's a light in my life
But it fades so far from home

All day
I'm coming from so far away
Those hot summer evenings
Have got me believing again
And I kno

Show me the light
Tell me a story
And make it a good one
Out of the night
Into a new day
Under the hot sun

Stay out a night
See who you wanna see, yeah
Do what you want
But be like a woman to me
Oh!

Give all you've got
Under the moonlight
I

There's just one love in my life tonight
And it feels so right to love her
Soon I'll be gone with the morning light
As the bluebird flies away

Bluebird, don't leave her side
When I'm away, see that she stays
Bluebird, it's cold outside
Watch over her night and day</

Down in the city
Streetlights burn into the night
A yellow moon is in the sky
A star-lit back-drop high on sunset
Shimmers on the sea
A cool breeze strokes the palm trees with a sigh

Another crazy night in Hollywood begins
Another exercise in style
Down on the s

When the world lies heavy on your shoulders
Love is out of line
When you're only living for tomorrow
Maybe you're out of time
Working out in the city from 9 to 5
Giving all you've got just to stay alive

Then you need
Compulsory dancing
Compulsory dancing gotta d

When Suzy bought the Dansette
The world was bright and gay
Pop was just a simple song
Not like it is today
We doffed our hats to Larry
On our summer holiday
In dreams of magic moments
As young lovers run away

Oh where did they go
Years that seemed so slow

The radio was hypnotized
The airwaves in a trance
The boys are milling silently
Outside the local dance
The operator finally
Connected up my call
The phone boy took the message
But he couldn't find a wall

Dear Brian
You held us so long
To ride on the wav

And now you are alone my friend
And I must set you free
And you must face the world outside
And find your destiny

See the sun is going down
Laying on this dusty town
The night again
Shoo-ing all the kids inside
When the moon steps out to ride
The stars again

Doesn't it seem to be
One of those times you wait all day for
Looking out to the sea
Keeping it in my mind's eye<

Life in the city is getting so tough I keep losing my face in the crowd
Innocent bystanders' realization, no Superman up in the clouds
Doesn't it show - you ought to know
Electra City, the footsteps in the concrete show
Life's getting heavy, can't you see we'll have to go
It'

Happy to be
Deep in the heart of you
Happy to see
That you feel the same way too
Don't worry baby when troubles arrive
Everything works out in time
I'm gonna ride with you right to the end of the line

Wherever we go
Whatever we do or see
I want you to know

Long ago
Mr Robinson Crusoe
Had it everywhere he go
(What was it, boy?)
It was a funky parrot, n' do do!
It was a funky parrot, n' do do!

A pirate bold
Loved him much more than his gold
Long John Silver always owned
(What was it, boy?)
It was a funky par

I lost my heart right from the start
I nearly lost my soul
You never lose control
You mesmerise me with your eyes
The lovelight never shows
Your feeling never flows

Gimme just a little bitty beat of your heart
(Oooh) Just a little bitty beat of your heart
Gimme

You
Running my life like you do
Making each day
A labour of love to be done

You
Always control your feelings
Bringing me down
To pick up the pieces I've found

Give me just a little bitty beat of your heart
Give me just a little bitty beat of your heart

By the rivers of Babylon
She said no
Where the sun shines all night long
She said no
When a man lies by her side
She said no
The gates of heaven are open wide
She said no

She's a girl in collision - with the primitive mind of man
She's a girl in collision -

Give a little more
Take a little less
And love will find a way
Giving it every day
To the world you're leaning on

Give a little more
Take a little less
It sounds better every time
Love is the only line
That the world runs straight along

And when you st

Silent faces mouthing at me
I can't hear a word they say
But I get the message
And I don't think I belong today

Empty places echoing past
All I have to do is close my eyes
I can't tell which is now
And which was then

Give me what I cry for
What I would hav

You're at death's door, my beamish boy
With a knife at your side and blood in your shoes
In the Bridge Street Underground
But the cries of a running defeat gives you strength
Put the wings on your feet

An altar boy, a razor man
Stacked a claim on your face cutting flesh
