When we were young

Crying softly onto clean white pillow
Watch the clock as it slowly crawls around
Crawls around
Is she sleeping or is she dreaming?
Time it passes without that familiar touch
Familiar touch
Love has gone, tears are here, nothing left
Life has changed, remember when we were young?
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
She pours a coffee, looks in the mirror
Suddenly she’s glad he can’t see her face
Can’t see her face
Youth, it passes while age is collected
Disappears from behind blue eyes without a trace
Without a trace
Love has gone, tears are here, nothing left
Life has changed, remember when we were young?
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
Love has gone, tears are here, nothing left
Life has changed, remember when we were young?
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young

Against All Odds


How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath, with you, ooh
You′re the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
‘Cause we′ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Oh, there’s just an empty space
And there′s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well, there′s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I′ve got to face

I wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You′re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And there′s nothin’ left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now
‘Cause there′s just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do
And that′s what I’ve gotta face
Take a good look at me now
′Cause I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It′s the chance I’ve gotta take

Take a look at me now

Be your hero


You can run, you can hide
But you can’t escape my love
You can run, you can hide
But you can’t escape my love

Here’s how it goes
You and me, up and down
But maybe this time we’ll get it right, worth the fight
‘Cause love is something you can’t shake
When it breaks (When it breaks)
All it takes is some trying

If you feel like leaving
I’m not gonna beg you to stay
But soon, you’ll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you can’t escape my love
You can run, you can hide
But you can’t escape my love

So, if you go
You should know (You should know)
It’s hard to just forget the past so fast
It was good (It was good), it was bad, but it was real
And that’s all you have
In the end, our love mattered

If you feel like leaving
I’m not gonna beg you to stay (I won’t beg you to stay)
But soon, you’ll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you can’t escape my love

But you can’t escape my love

You can hide (You can hide)
But you can’t escape my love (My love)

You can hide (You can hide)
But you can’t escape my love

All it takes is some trying
Baby, you can run

You can’t escape my love
But soon, you’ll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you can’t escape my love (Woah)
[Outro]
You can run
You can run

Baby, you can run, baby, you can hide
You can run

You can run
(But you can’t escape my love)
You can run
You can run
(Baby, you can run, baby, you can hide)
(But you can’t escape my love, love, love)
You can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape my love

I drove all night

I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
What in this world
Keep us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night
Taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night

Still / Three Times a Lady

Lady, morning’s just a moment away
And I’m without you once again
You laughed at me
You said you never needed me
I wonder if you need me now
So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn’t say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where’d we go?
We lost what we both had found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
I do love you
Still
We played the games that people play
We made our mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me
‘Cause I needed you so desperately
We were too blind to see
But then most of all
I do love you

Thanks for the times that you’ve given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we’ve come to the end of our rainbow
There’s something I must say out loud
You’re once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes, you’re once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
I love you
You shared my dreams, my joys, my pains
You made my life worth living for
And if I had to live my life over again, dear
I’d spend each and every moment with you
You’re once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes, you’re once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
I love you
When we are together, the moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you, to hold you, to feel you, to need you
There’s nothing to keep us apart
You’re once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
You’re once, twice, three times a lady (ooh, ooh)
I love you
Yes, you’re, twice, three times a lady (ooh, ooh)
I love you
I love you

Forever Young

PLAYDOLLS

Let’s dance in style, let’s dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don’t have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music’s for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we’re getting in tune
The music’s played by the, the madmen
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don’t they stay young?
It’s so hard to get old without a cause
I don’t want to perish like a fading horse
Youth’s like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn’t happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We’ll let them come true
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? (Forever young)

Streets of London

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely by his side
Yesterday’s papers telling yesterday’s news
So how can you tell me you’re lonely
And say for you that the sun don’t shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I’ll show you something
To make you change your mind.
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London,
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She’s no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking,
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
In the all night café at a quarter past eleven
Same old man is sitting there on his own.
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup,
Each tea last an hour, and he wanders home alone.
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman’s mission,
Memory fading with the metal ribbons that he wears?
In our winter city the rain cries a little pity,
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn’t care.

There’s a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
I heard there’s a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
