Simona
You're getting older
Your journey's been etched
On your skin

Simona
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been and gone

I would call you up everyday Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"

Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone

Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song

I would call you up everyday Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"

I would call you up everyday Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing, "Here we go again"

I would call you up everyday Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light

And though time goes by

And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973

One day your story will be told
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
One day they'll make you glorious, beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round, once in a lifetime like it always does
Everybody loves you cause you've taken a chance out on a dance to the moon - too soon

And yes they told you so - we were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

One day they'll tell you that you've changed, though their the ones who seem to stop and stare.
One day you'll hope to make the grave - before the papers choose to send you there

And it all comes round once in a lifetime like it always does
Nobody loves you cause you've taken a chance out on a dance to the moon - too soon

And yes they told you so - we were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

And yes they told you so - we were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

Ooo, these feet carry me far
O, my body o' so tired
Mouth is dry, hardly speak
Holy Spirit rise in me

I swear, forever is just a minute to me
And I'll take everything ... in this life
I'll join everyone
Ooo, when I die - have my body, have my mind, have my coat, take my time
These I borrowed, borrowed so far
Turned to dust, fall apart.

I swear, forever is just a minute to me
And, I'll take everything ... in this life
I'll join everyone ... and then the star grows old and dies

And I'll take everything ... in this life
I'll join everyone ... since I'm gonna die
I'll take everything ... in this life
I'll join everyone, cause all men die

So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

Hello, hello

There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy does it show
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go

Uhuh uhuh uhuh

And so I sent some men to fight
And one came back at dead of night
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

Uhuh uhuh uhuh

I’m not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don’t give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Uhuh uhuh uhuh

And maybe someday we will face
And maybe talk but not just speak
Dont buy the promises cause
There are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go

Uhuh uhuh uhuh

I’m not calling for a second chance
I’m screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don’t give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake

I’m not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don’t give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Uhuh uhuh uhuh

Uhuh uhuh uhuh
So while I'm turning in my sheets
Uhuh uhuh uhuh
And once again I cannot sleep
Uhuh uhuh uhuh
Walk out the door and up the street
Uhuh uhuh uhuh
Look at the stars
Uhuh uhuh uhuh
Look at the stars falling down
Uhuh uhuh uhuh
And I wonder where
Uhuh uhuh uhuh
Did I go wrong?

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.
Makes her body older than it really is.
She says it's high time she went away,
No one's got much to say in this town.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

If she had wings she would fly away,
And another day God will give her some.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

Me and my guitar playing my way
It makes them frown
The little pieces by the highway, bring me down.

Mine is not a heart of stone
I am only skin and bone now
Those little pieces are little pieces of my own

Why don't you give me some love
I've taken shit loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
who's better than yourself

Many faces at the doorway - all hiding round
Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound

So I'm standing all alone and I'm only skin and bone now
So many faces, but they all look out for their own

Why don't you give me some love
I've taken shit loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
who's better than yourself

Why don't you give me some love
I've taken shit loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
who's better than yourself today

And someday soon they'll drop the bomb and let it all out someday
I know that some day soon we'll all be gone so, let it all out, let it all out today

And give me some love
Yeah, give me some love,
Come give me some love today

Intro:
I really want you
I really want you

Verse 1:
Many Prophets preach on bended knees
Many clerics wasted wine,
Do the bloody sheets and
those troubled streets
mean?
I have wasted time,

Are there silver shores on paradise?
Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land
My enemy untold

Chorus:
I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know
if you can do that
(really want you)
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know so hard for
you to do that (really want you)
Time's running out as it often does
And often dictates that
you can't do that (really want you)
Fate can't break this feeling inside
That's burning up through my veins...

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you
Now...

No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart

I really want you
I really want you

Verse 2:
Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or when mother earth complained
Did the beggar pray for
a sunny day but
Lady luck for rain

They say a million
people bow and scream
To an effigy of gold
As so life begin
And the ship we're in
And history unfold

Chorus

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you

Are you calling for.... our last dance?
I see it in your eyes.... in your eyes
Same old moves for... a new romance
I could use the same old lines ...
But I'll sing...

Shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out, but it paved the cloud that we're dancing on
So shine on, just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
Cause they're all just slaves to the Gods they've made
But you and I, just shone, just shone

And when silence greets... my last goodbye
The words I need are in you're eyes
And I'll sing .....

Shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out but it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on
So shine on, just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
Cause they're all just slaves to the Gods they've made
But you and I just shone, just shone

So shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out, but it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on
So shine on, just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
Cause they're all just slaves to the Gods they've made
But you and I just shone, just shone.....

Annie, you had your dream on the bright lights
I thought I saw your photograph
and its such a laugh, in a magazine
Did it all come true?

then Annie, you were made for the big time
They said you were a star to be
In the NME
But the walls came tumbling down down, they go down on me

Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Annie, would it be nice to be recognized?
Did you practise your autograph?
But then no one's asked
And it's such a shame
Your dreams are crumbling

Annie, why aren't you big in limelight?
'Cause I thought that you said you'd be
A celebrity several years ago
But it all came tumbling down down, they go down on me

Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Is it a warning?
Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people, who have lost their mind?
Is it the darkness?
Is it a memory?
Is it a best friend, leaving you behind?

Is it ever gonna stop?
Will they ever let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough, cause their lives are very slow

Time is ticking on
You don't get a second shot and when you sell you soul for a leading role will the lost souls be forgot?

And if I can't hear the music
and the audience is gone
I'll dance here on my own
And I hope the lonely hearts band
will play out one last song
before the sun goes down

And is it envy?
Should it really make you sick?
Is it another time that you realise you'd better get out quick
Cause time is ticking on - too long to fake a smile
But then you sell your soul for a leading role so wear it for a while

And if I can't hear the music
and the audience is gone
I'll dance here on my own
And I hope the lonely hearts band
will play out one last song
before the sun goes down
And there she goes
And there she goes

So, ________________________
Cause Billy's got himself a job
And you're right to be afraid
They'll send you to your grave
Cause you're strange and new,

So, ________________________
