(J. Waite G. Myrick)

Workin' overtime
Just to keep myself from getting sacked
Well I don't like my job
Tell the boss to shove it
I ain't goin' back
Just like Gene Vincent
I'm longing to prove
I know what I need this time
Me and my girl together
Yeah
Saturday night
Oh yeah
Saturday night
Lookin' at my watch
Tappin' my fingers
Wishin' time would fly
Gonna look so sharp
She and I will turn some heads as we walk by
And just like Vermeer
I wait for still life to move out of my mind
Tonight
I might suddenly all feel better
Saturday night
Oh yeah
Saturday night
Ow
And I feel like the rain on the edge of a rhyme
On the streets I'll shine
Forever in an instant
Saturday night
Oh yeah
Saturday night
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday night
Crossin' off the days in my brain
Gonna get it good
Gonna get it right
Ain't it just like Verlaine
To be dancin' in the streets
I know what I need this time
Me and my girl together
Oh yeah Saturday night
Oh yeah Saturday night
Saturday night
Oh yeah
Alright
Alright
Oh yeah
Alright
Alright
Oh oh oh
Oh
Saturday night

(John Waite/Mark Leonard/Charles Sanford)

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload

Chorus

And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you

(J. Beauvoir)

I looked over my shoulder
Straight into your eyes
As you stood in my shadow
In some loud disguise
You were lookin' straight through me
Like a piece of glass
Out of step with the fashion
Fashions always pass
I've been living
On the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something
That would never come
Feeling restless and jaded
My heartbeat paralyzed
Like some refugee hero
To beat denounced and denied
In some rock and roll wasteland
In a thousand hours
While Madonnas keep smiling
Present them with the flowers
I've been living
On the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something
That would never come
And I've been running down the shadows
Like a street gang to survive
Hoping for something to keep me alive
I looked over my shoulder
Fire in my eyes
We were looking for justice
What we got was a great big surprise
We've been living
On the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something
That would never come
And we've been running from the shadows
Like some street gang to survive
Waiting for something to keep us alive
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Been living on the dark side
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
And I've been running from the shadows
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

(J. Waite)

Three years come
I'm still alone and you're so lonely
I look in the mirror
I see those lines on my face
All of my dreams are gone
Flyin' with the starlings
But they were not stolen gems
Colored glass I can replace
You've got a restless heart
Restless change is blowing
through your life
Tears in your eyes
Tears in the books that I've been reading
I don't understand you now
And I never did
But I still love your restless heart
Days into nights
Nights into days
Lights flicker 'round me
And down to the shore I walk
I'm haunted by your face
Ungracious moves I've made
Just like a broken dancer
If I could get you back
They are steps I would retrace
You've got a restless heart
Restless change is blowing through your life
Tears in your eyes
Tears in the books that I've been reading
I don't understand you now
And I never will
But I still love your restless heart
Three years come
You're still alone and I'm so alone
And I would give anything
To feel my heart beat again
I wouldn't say that I've been losin' time
I've been dreaming
And I'd give up anything to keep you as my friend
You've got a restless heart
Restless change is blowing through your life
Tears in your eyes
Tears in the books I've been reading
I don't understand you now
And I never did
But I love you
And I know you've got a restless heart
(Restless heart)
I know you've got a restless heart (in you)
(Restless heart)
I know (in you)
You got a restless heart (heart)
And I know it (in you)
You got a restless heart (heart)
you got a restless heart (in you)
I know it (heart)
But I'm just like you (in you)

(V. Cusano, A. Mitchell)

You left me here alone
I guess I'll never see the light
You turned another's thumb
And he makes your wrongs
seem right
Out on some different wavelength
Somehow he brings you more
But sweetheart tonight
I know for sure
I'll see those tears
The damage they do
You're breaking my heart with those tears
I'll cry over you
Can we make a new start
Of all the girls I've had at my knees
You're the only one
That could bring me to these tears
A master of the beat
You've got my number in your hands
A killer on the streets
You've got your actions planned
But somewhere in your heart
There must be a place for me
Cause sweetheart tonight
I know for sure
I'll see those tears
The damage they do
You're breaking my heart with those tears
I'll cry over you
Can we make a new start
Of all the girls I've had at my knees
You're the only one
That could bring me to these tears
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I'm looking at you
You're looking at me
You won't let me go
But you won't set me free
Of those tears
The damage they do
You're breaking my heart with those tears
Cry over you
Cry for you tonight
Cry you a river
I'm gonna cry for you tonight
I'm gonna cry you a river
Cry you a river tonight
(Cry for you)
I'm gonna cry for you tonight
(Cry for you)
I'm gonna cry you a river
(Cry for you)

(J. Waite, G. Myrick)

Storm warning on the radio
Flags and banners
Armageddon on the late night show
And like my father before
We've got love on the barricades
Sweethearts who miss
Battle hymns and hit parades
Armageddon cascades
What's my name
Jack of spades
Outside my window
Is darkness and rain
And I'm only dreaming
Til the sun shines again
Got nothing but a uniform
General issue and rules that I will warn
On my name tags are sewn
Serial number stamped across my name
My fate is decided by kangaroo court
It's insane
Tin soldiers marching in flame
What's my name
Jack of spades
Outside my window
Is darkness and rain
And I'm only dreaming
Until the sun shines again
There's no phoenix rising
And the future's stillborn
Dark shadows are dancing
My coat of colors is torn
In Euro...
Yeah, oh...
Supernova on the Baltic Sea
Pushbutton logic dehumanizing me
And it gets a lot like TV
We've got children starving in the streets
Genocide's the fashion
And no man withstands its heat
Kings and pawns all compete
First gets the oil and the gold
Outside my window
Clouds fill my sky
And I'm only dreaming
That there's still time to turn the tide
There's no phoenix rising
And the future's stillborn
Dark shadows are dancing
My coat of colors is torn
In Euroshima
Oh no
Euro
Euroshima
Oh no

(J. Waite, I. Kral)

If I fall
Right out of sleep
Deep sea diving in the dark
With those creatures of the deep
Broken skis
Over silent snow
As the ground comes up to meet me
Is it then you let me go
Here we go
To the other side
No one comes back
And very few survive
Me I'm heading south
For the borderline
She and I
This is it
Nineteen sixty-five
Twist and shout
This ain't no luxury cruise
And your eyes are full of doubt
Chinatown
Under neon lights
Oh, she's coming and she's going
In cheap hotels
Here we go
To the other side
No one comes back
And very few survive
Me I'm heading south
For the borderline
She and I
This is it
It's dreamtime
So come on
Dreamtime
A vision of
Oh guitar
Here we go
To the other side
No one comes back
And very few survive
Me I'm heading south
For the borderline
She and I
It's dreamtime
So come on
Dreamtime
A vision of
Dreamtime
To shake it up
Dreamtime
Tonight
You might even want to
Shake it up
Come a little closer
Twist and shout
You look so good
Come on
You're coming out
Shake it up
Oh oh you look so fine
Shake it up baby
Shake it up
Shake it up baby
Twist and shout
Shake it up baby
Shake
Shake it up baby
Shake it up baby
Work it on out
Shake it up
Shake it up
Shake it up
Shake it up
Shake it up
Come a little closer
Twist and shout
You look so good

(J. Waite, G. Myrick, D. Nossov, C. Smith)

Thinking about you tonight
In a 3-D hotel room in Rome
Chainsmoking American cigarettes
And keeping my ear to the phone
Through the blinds to the street
My mind wanders
To the nights when I had you alone
Reality becomes science fiction
And my heart's in the war zone
If you won't free me
Riding in this rodeo
Juliet love tonight
With her vicious Romeo
For your love
I'd give you anything
The stars and the moon
And the sky above
Existing for you alone
And the moments we steal from each other
A millionaire I become
As you cry out my name
I'm your lover
I was travelling light
As I checked into
This heartbreak chateau
And there's no place for me in the sun
That doesn't cast a shadow
Whoa
Tower free me
From riding in this rodeo
Juliet's loves tonight
With a vicious Romeo
For your love
I'd give you anything (for your love)
The stars and the moon
And the sky above (for your love)
You say I'm your world
Well you are my universe (for your love)
You say that you want me
To get love's curse
I was traveling light
When I checked into this heartbreak chateau
And there's no place for me in the sun
That doesn't cast a shadow
For your love
I'd give you anything (for your love)
The moon and the stars
And the sky above (for your love)
You say I'm your world
I say are my universe (for your love)
You say that you want me
All you get's love零 curse
(For your love)
Give you anything (for your love)
I give you anything (for your love)
Shirt off my back (for your love)
A million bucks (for your love)
Cause I want you (for your love)
Tonight (for your love)
I want you (for your love)
Tonight (for your love)
I want you (for your love)
Tonight

(J. Waite, D. Nossov, G. Myrick, C. Smith)

Ain't it beautiful
Don't it make you feel complete
It comes into your life
Then sweeps you right off your feet
Time stands still for two lovers
And it's intangible
But it hits like steel
It stops me in my tracks
Makes my private world unsealed
A crashed car
A communication failsafe
We could share this vision
In fact we've got no choice
Into the arena of love
Speaking with one voice
Ain't it something else
Like skydiving into Shangri-la
And the clearest cool is the zeal-blue heaven
And you can't quite put your finger on it
And you could be anywhere
Anytime anyplace in your lover's arms
Could be paradise or walkin' on thin ice
We can share this vision
We're on some one-way street
Exchanging cigarettes and glances
We both feel the heat
It's a love collision
Love collision
There's no decision
It's a love collision
If I close my eyes
Visualizing you and I somewhere in this city
And moments of desire
The steady the silent gaze of lovers transfixed
We could share this vision
In fact we've got no choice
Into the arena of love
Speaking with one voice
It's a love collision
Love collision
And there's no decision
It's a love collision
Love collision
Love collision
Love collision
Love collision
Love collision
Love collision
Oh no
Love collision
Love collision
