WILD WILD ANGELS

Don’t talk to me of shattered dreams,
of course you don’t know what it means,
to live for someone else, you can’t just take,
and when you’re bitten by the truth,
you blame it on your mis-spent youth,
you never seem to learn by your mistakes.
So don’t talk to me of wild wild angels,
wild wild angels on the skyways,
those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
‘cos it’s people like you who never knew,
what wild wild angels have to face.
And i ain’t hangin’ round to see,
you turn on someone else like me,
i’m still alive and you know the way i live,
but baby that’s one way you’ll never be,
such simple things you fail to see,
you take back everything you ever give.
So don’t talk to me of wild wild angels,
wild wild angels on the skyways,
those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
‘cos it’s people like you who never knew,
what wild wild angels have to face.
So don’t talk to me of wild wild angels,
wild wild angels on the skyways,
those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
‘cos it’s people like you who never knew,

So don’t talk to me of wild wild angels,

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right
But you do what you want to do.
You do what you feel but no one can feel like you.

In the summertime city ain’t it a pity
There’s so much to tie you down
You’re leaving tonight for somewhere you can’t be found

While down at the end of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You can hear them talking ‘bout girls they know
Talking ‘bout what they’re gonna do
Then you ask yourself: is this where you belong,
Is it right or is it wrong
And does it matter what’s right
In the heat of the night.

in the streets tonight under the neon lights
You’re searching for something new.
Nothing is real but no one could feel like you.

They say eagles fly in this red hot sky
But were they just passing through
Or did they look down and see what you found was true.

But still in the back of your mind
You’ve got something to believe in
But there’s so much to find
As the bright lights dim and the night closes in .
You thought everything has ended
But it’s yet to begin
And you ain’t see nothing yet
(but) what you see you won’t forget

You say
Why oh why did it take you so long to want something more
Oh why did you never got off on this before
And here it is the life you’ve standing in front of you like an open door.

And you ask yourself: is this where you belong,
Is it right or is it wrong
And does it matter what’s right
In the heat of the night.

In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right
But you do what you want to do.
You do what you feel but no one can feel like you.

LAY BACK IN THE ARMS OF SOMEONE

If you want my sympathy
just open your heart to me
and you’ll get whatever you’ll ever need
you think that’s too high for you
oh baby, i would die for you
when there’s nothing left
you know where i’ll be
Lay back in the arms of someone
give in to the charms of someone
lay back in the arms of some one you love
lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you’re a part of someone
lay back in the arms of someone you love
So baby just call on me
when you want all of me
i’ll be your lover
i’ll be your friend
and there’s nothing i won’t do
’cause baby i just live for you
with nothing to hide
no need to pretend
Oh
lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
lay back in the arms of some one you love
baby
lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you’re a part of someone
lay back in the arms of someone you love
Oh i know you think that’s too high for you
oh baby i would die for you
when there’s nothing left
i’ll be with you
Oh
lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
lay back in the arms of some one you love
baby
lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you’re a part of someone
lay back in the arms of someone you love
oh yeah

IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO LOVE ME

Breathless drive on a downtown street,
motorbike ride in the mid-day heat.
dust that hung from the desert skies -
run though we’d run, it still burned our eyes.
Oh yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side of life.
and our movements traced by a stranger close by your side.
in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand,
and show me a way to understand.
So if you think you know how to love me,
and you think you know what i need,
and if you really, really want me to stay,
you’ve got to lead the way.
yes if you think you know how to love me,
and you think you can stand by me,
and if you really, really want me to stay,
you’ve got to lead the way.
Reckless night in a nameless town,
then we moved out of sight with a silent sound.
a beach that wept, the deserted waves -
that’s where we slept, knowing we’d be safe.
Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me.
but there’s a lot i can learn and a lot i’d get to see.
i know you’ve got my life lying in your hands,
it’s up to you to make me understand.
So if you think you know how to love me,
and you think you know what i need,
and if you really, really want me to stay,
you’ve got to lead the way.
yes if you think you know how to love me,
and you think you can stand by me,
and if you really, really want me to stay,
you’ve got to lead the way.

MEXICAN GIRL

Juanita came to me last night, and she cried over and over
Ooh, daddy, i love you, you know, and i think it’s the moonlight.

she looked so fine, well she looked alright, and she moaned
Ooh, daddy, move over
Oh, baby, you know what i like and i think it’s the moonlight

made in mexico, schooled in france, ooh la lovin’ she needed no teachin’
Oh man i can say international ways i believe in.

mexican girl, don’t leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And i need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, i want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as i live i will always remember the one that i called
My mexican girl

Her skin was soft as the velvet sky and her hair it shone in the moonlight
And as the music did play, well the night turned to day, and i held her tight.

then she looked at me with her dark brown eyes, and she whispered hasta la vista
Well, i don’t know what that means, but it sounded so good so i kissed her

mexican girl, don’t leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And i need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, i want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as i live i will always remember the one that i called

my mexican girl, don’t leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And i need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, i want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as i live i will always remember the one that i called
My mexican girl.

LIGHT UP MY LIFE

Sadness has gone from the light in my eyes,
Will she be waiting,
Should i feel proud of the tears that i cried,
No hesitating.

Happiness sounds like the one i have lost, only to follow
Where in the world is the one that i’ve crossed,
Gone is tomorrow.

Chorus
Light in my eyes,
Light up my face,
Light up my life, light up my life,
Light up my life, light up my life.

Feelings of fear all around someone’s here,
Look all around me.
Could it be she rediscovering me,

Or did she see.

LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE

Sally called, when she got the word,
she said "i suppose you’ve heard
about alice."
so, i rushed to the window, and i looked outside,
and i could hardly believe my eyes,
this big limousine pulled slowly into alice’s drive.
i don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go,
i guess she’s got her reasons but i just don’t wanna know,
’cause for 24 years i’ve been living next door to alice.
24 years, just waitin’ for a chance,
to tell her how i’m feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now i’ve gotta get used to not living next door to alice.
Grew up together, two kids in the park,
carved our initials deep in the bark
- me and alice.
now she walks to the door, with her head held high,
just for a moment, i caught her eye,
as the big limousine pulled slowly out of alice’s drive.
I don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go,
i guess she’s got her reasons but i just don’t wanna know,
’cause for 24 years i’ve been living next door to alice.
24 years, just waitin’ for a chance,
to tell her how i’m feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now i’ve gotta get used to not living next door to alice.
Sally called back, and asked how i felt,
she said "i know how to help …
you get over alice."
she said "now alice is gone, but i’m still here
- you know i’ve been waiting 24 years."
and the big limousine disappeared.
I don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go,
i guess she’s got her reasons but i just don’t wanna know,
’cause for 24 years i’ve been living next door to alice.
24 years, just waitin’ for a chance,
to tell her how i’m feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now i’ve gotta get used to not living next door to alice.
No, i’ll never get used to not living next door to alice …
