Introducing Samantha laurilla

This is not a game, this is reality,

Separate the false from what is true;

Why do you deny, that heroes often die?

But no one lives forever, oh no, not even you.

So just think again, weigh up the odds,

Men are merely men, they are not gods;

I know you are strong, you do not bend,

But survival is what matters in the end.

Now playing Devil- May- Care, is that the deal?

Is this the way that you think? The way you feel?

You used to look at chances, and work out all the odds,

When heroes realised they were not gods.

But this is not a game, this is reality,

Separate the lies from what is true;

No one should deny, that heroes often die,

And no one lives forever, oh no, not even you.

So who are you now? I’d like to know,

And what will you do? Where will you go?

Is it a secret? How do you feel?

Playing Devil-May-Care, is that the deal?

Yes, playing Devil-May-Care, is that the deal?

Is this the way that you think? The way you feel?

You used to look at chances, and work out all the odds,

When heroes realised they were not gods.

Instrumental

Yes playing Devil-May-Care is that the deal?

Is this the way that you think? The way you feel?

You use to look at chances and work out all the odds,

When heroes realised they were not gods.

Is it a secret? Tell me what you feel,

Playing Devil-May-Care, is that the deal?

Is it a secret? Tell me what you feel,

Playing Devil-May-Care, is that the deal?

Devil-May-Care

Perhaps you’ve never noticed me,

But I’ve been watching you,

I’ve seen you treated badly for so long,

Lovers making promises,
Then telling you they’re through,

And trying to keep your chin up,

Is easier said than done.

Nobody does sad like you,

You’re tearing yourself apart;

Yes, nobody does sad like you,

You, of the tender heart.

Please don’t give up,
Please try again,

And let me into your life,

I want to heal your pain.

This much I know, these words are true,

Nobody does sad like you.

Love has let you down time after time,

Stealing your heart, and that’s a crime.

Fooling you with every single kiss,

You deserve much better than this.

Please let me into your life, I am your friend,

You deserve a chance, a happy end,

Let me stop your sadness and your tears,

And I’ll be there for you down all the years.

Nobody does sad like you,

And that’s not the way it should be,

Nobody does sad like you.

And now’s the time to set your spirit free,

Nobody does sad like you.

So let me into your life, I’ll make it good,

When I saw your tears I understood,

Let me be the one to bring you peace,

The heartache and the pain have got to cease.

Nobody does sad like you,

You’re tearing yourself apart,

Yes, nobody does sad like you,

You of the tender heart.

Please don’t give up,

Please try again,

And let me into your life,

I want to heal your pain…

This much I know, these words are true,

Nobody does sad like you…

Nobody does sad…like you.

Nobody Does Sad Like You

Look out boy, you’re walking on broken glass,

Can’t you see there is another way?

It’s where the road is smooth, Now that’s the honest truth,

But you won’t listen, you don’t care,

And throw my love away.

Then something shakes, and something breaks,

The mirror on the wall, and my heart too,

Can’t look at me, can’t look at you,

‘cause you don’t care what I am going through,

And you don’t see the blood, and the broken glass.

Look out boy, you’re walking on broken glass,

Can’t you see you’re heading for a fall?

And when you hit the ground,

There’ll be no one around,

To pick you up, and dust you down,

Or hear you when you call.

The crystal glass, that held the wine,

Was something that we shared that time,

But now it’s gone, because of you,

And everything we had is broken too,

And you don’t see the blood, and the broken glass.

Instrumental

Look out boy, you’re walking on broken glass,

Can’t you see you’re heading for some pain?

And when the blood appears,
And mingles with your tears,

You’ll realise you got it wrong,

And that’s a crying shame.

Then something shakes, and something breaks,

The mirror on the wall, and my heart too,

Can’t look at me, can’t look at you,

‘cause you don’t care what I’m going through,

And you don’t see the blood, and the broken glass.

‘cause there’s a broken heart in the broken glass.

Yes, there’s a broken heart in the broken glass.

….Broken glass

Broken Glass

Nothing hurts like hurt,

Do you know what I mean?

The kind of hurt that comes along,

When love has left the scene,

The kind of hurt that brings you down,

And leaves you all alone,

You cry, and though you look around,

You find no ‘comfort zone’.

Why did you walk out on me?

Where did I go wrong?

I thought we’d stay together,

I thought our love was strong,

But when you turned your back on me,

The hurt cut like a knife,

But you can heal the hurt I feel,

Please come back into my life.

‘cause nothing hurts like hurt,

You must know what I mean,

The hurt that sends you crazy,

When love has left the scene,

It burns into your conscience,

You feel it in your soul,

And nothing seems to make much sense,

When hurt is taking hold.

Now I don’t need this hurt,

I don’t want the pain,

I know the hurt will disappear,

If you come back again;

Heal me, make me whole again,

Heal me, please come back again.

‘cause nothing hurts like hurt,

You must know what I mean,

The hurt that sends you crazy,

When love has left the scene,

It burns into your conscience,

You feel it in your soul,

And nothing seems to make much sense

When hurt is taking hold.

Instrumental

‘cause nothing hurts like hurt,

And nothing seems to make much sense,

But you can stop the hurt,
You can end my pain,

I know the hurt will disappear,
If you come back again;

Heal me, make me whole again,

Please come back again.

Heal me, make me whole again,

Please come back again.

Heal me.

Nothing Hurts Like Hurt

Is that all there is to breaking up, Someone says goodbye, and then they are gone?
Not a thousand words, not a hundred days, But the end of the affair, in only one.

I never saw it coming, what a fool,
I never saw the writing on the wall,

I never knew that life could be so cruel, But when you fall in love, you miss it all.

You miss the little silent moves, the little tell- tale signs,
All the subtle ways, that hide the lie, And someone saying, look out! Read between the lines,
Can’t you see the look that means goodbye?

And then you face the facts, that’s how it is, The end of the affair, oh what a shame, But still you wonder, how it’s come to this, A burning love, that’s now a dying flame.

The end of the affair, what happens now? The end of the affair, where do I go? I’d travel back in time, if I knew how, Back to that paradise I used to know.

Before the broken promises, before it all went wrong, In those special days, when life was sweet, Before I faced the future, living all alone, Walking down another lonely street.

The end of the affair, and it’s goodbye, The end of the affair, what can I do? But brush away the tears ,each time I cry, And try to face the future without you.

And try to face the future without you.

The end of the affair….

The end of the affair.

The End of the Affair

And now I’m in a lonely place,

And now I stumble and I fall;

My life is just an empty space,

It’s sad, I could have had it all.

I could have been big, I could have been someone,

I could have had love, I could have been great;

But I’m ‘running on low’, I’m ‘running on empty’,

Pushing too hard, I just couldn’t wait.

I could have been big, I could have been someone,

I could have been great, it could have been me;

I would have had love, I would have been happy,

I had the chance, but I couldn’t see.

And now I don’t know who to call,

And now I don’t know what to do;

It’s true, the writing’s on the wall,

I couldn’t be great without you.

I could have been big, I could have been someone,

I could have had love, I could have been great;

But I’m ‘running on low’, I’m ‘running on empty’,

Pushing too hard, I just couldn’t wait.

I could have been big, I could have been someone,

I could have been strong, I could have been great;

I should have known then, that you were my hero,

I got it wrong and now it’s too late.

Instrumental

That’s why I’m in a lonely place,

That’s why I stumble and I fall;

Reminded, when I see your face,

That once, I could have had it all.

I could have been big, I could have been someone,

I could have had love, I could have been great;

But I’m ‘running on low’, I’m ‘running on empty’,

Pushing too hard, I just couldn’t wait.

I could have been big, I could have been someone,

I could have been great, it could have been me;

I would have had love, I would have been happy,

I had the chance, but I couldn’t see.

I could have been big, I could have been someone,

I could have had love, I could have been great;

But I’m ‘running on low’, I’m ‘running on empty’,

Pushing too hard, I just couldn’t wait.

I could have been big, I could have been someone,

I could have been strong, I could have been great;

I should have known then, that you were my hero,

I got it wrong, and now it’s too late.

I could have had love, I could have been great,

But I’ll never be great….without you.

I Could Have Been Great

I’m on my way to Nashville, after one more broken dream,

Love has turned its back and closed the door;

The misery, the heartache, and another tragic scene,

But I’ve realised that music is the cure.

So I’m heading back to Nashville, with my guitar and a song,

That’s sure to ‘make it’ in the Hit Parade;

It’s all about my lover, and the way he did me wrong,

And when it hits the top, I’ve got it made.

It’s sure to make me smile again,

The thought of playing with the band,

The guy’s will know just how I feel,

Though sometimes life’s unfair,

I know they’ll understand,

But you carry on, well that’s the deal.

So I’m going back to Nashville, with my guitar and a song,

That’s all about a dream that fell apart;

It’s all about my lover, and the way he did me wrong,

And every word I sing, is from the heart.

Instrumental

It’s sure to make me smile again,

The thought of playing with the band

The guy’s will know just how I feel,

Though sometimes life’s unfair,

I know they’ll understand,

But you carry on, well that’s the deal.

So I’m going back to Nashville, with my guitar and a song,

I’m sure you’re gonna like my latest tune;

And when you get to know the words I hope you’ll sing along,

That’s when we get together friends, real soon.

So I’m going back to Nashville, with my guitar and a song,

I’m sure you’re gonna like my latest tune,

And when you get to know the words I hope you’ll sing along,

That’s when we get to together friends, real soon.

….I’m comin’ home.

Going back to Nashville

I stumble through my work from nine to five,

But when shadows start to fall, I come alive;

And when the midnight chimes, I spend my dollars and my dimes,

Welcome to my story of the night.

With the right people, with the night people,

That’s when the love affair begins;

In the right places, with the right faces,

That’s when the love affair begins.

I love the city when the night time comes,

The dim lit cellars and the distant drums;

The sidewalks, neon lights,

The friendly kisses, crazy fights,

Winning, losing, sometimes, bruising nights.

With the right people, yes, the night people,

That’s when the love affair begins;

With the right people, with the night people,

That’s when the love affair begins.

And then the lights go out on different floors,

And I’m wondering what goes on behind closed doors;

But I still hear the beat,

And I join those dancing feet,

As neon lights keep shining in the street.

For the right people, for the night people,

Every second counts, ‘cause time has wings;

For the right people, for the night people,

This is when the love affair begins.

Instrumental

I hear the laughter, now it beckons me,

The flesh is willing, and the spirit’s free;

But then the magic disappears,

When the morning re-appears.

Just you wait until it’s night again.

With the right people, with the night people,

That’s when the love affair begins.

With the right people, with the night people,

That’s when the love affair begins.

Night People

The ‘Rainbow Club’ is gonna rock tonight,

It all begins at eight,

I’ve read the notice on the wall,

And I’ll be there, so don’t be late!

The ‘Rainbow Club’ is gonna rock ‘til one.

We’re gonna have some fun,

I’ll paint my lips, and move my hips,

And all, because were young.

Rockin’ at the ‘Rainbow Club’, rockin’ with the rest,

Rockin’ at the ‘Rainbow Club’, rockin’ with the best,

Rockin’ at the ‘Rainbow Club’, rockin’ with the boys,

Rockin’ at the ‘Rainbow Club’, rockin’ to the noise.

No one’s gonna live forever,

So you and me, is that a date?

We can meet at the Rainbow Club,

Tonight it’s gonna be just great!

I’ve read the notice on the wall, it all begins at eight;

The Rainbow Club will rock tonight, be there and don’t be late!

Rockin’ at the Rainbow Club, rockin with the rest,

Rockin’ at the Rainbow Club, rockin’ with the best,

Rockin’ at the Rainbow Club, rockin’ with the boys,

Rockin’ at the Rainbow Club, rockin’ to the noise.

Instrumental

And now it’s time to make a move,

To the hottest spot I know,

So wear your best and join the rest,

Let’s move and join the show.

And If the girls get jealous,

When we’re together, I don’t care,

Let’s do it at the Rainbow Club,

Tonight, we’re gonna be there.

Rockin’ at the Rainbow Club, rockin’ with the rest,

Rockin’ at the Rainbow Club’ rockin’ with the best,

Rockin’ at the Rainbow Club, rock on everyone,

Rockin’ at the Rainbow Club, let’s do it while were young!

Rock, rock, rockin’ at the ‘Rainbow’,

Rock, rock, rockin’ at the ‘Rainbow’,

Rock, rock, rockin’ at the ‘Rainbow’ tonight.

Rock, rock, rockin’ at the ‘Rainbow’ tonight!

Rockin' at the 'Rainbow'

I remember it now, it was ten after eight,

I fell out of bed, and I knew I was late;

A cup of hot coffee, was waking me up,

Phone ringing loud, but I don’t pick it up,

I won’t answer yet, it could be some bad news,

I’ve got no time for the ‘Losing You Blues.’

I keep letting you down, I keep missing our date,

If I go on like this, love will turn into hate;

I don’t blame you now babe, for getting upset,

You leaving me, is a ten to one bet,

But I am still hoping for positive news,

I’ve got no time for the ‘Losing You Blues.’

And I’ve been one step, two steps, three steps behind,

I have to catch you up, or I’ll go out of my mind,

I’ve got to be a winner, I don’t want to lose,

Living alone with the ‘Losing You Blues.’

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I should do,

Keeping love hot, now I’ve let it go cool,

Saying I’m sorry, but mean it this time,

Those two little words that were so hard to find,

Making it work then, with all the right moves,

And saying goodbye to the ‘Losing You Blues.’

I’ve listed all of the ‘don’ts and do’s’

I’ll wear a good suit, and I’ll polish my shoes;

No putting my feet on your favourite armchair,

Won’t take an hour, when combing my hair;

There’ll be no time for the parties and booze,

That only leads to the ‘Losing You Blues.’

And I’ve been one step, two steps, three steps behind,

I have to catch you up, or I’ll go out of my mind,

I’ve got to be a winner, I don’t want to lose,

Living alone with the ‘Losing You Blues.’

Instrumental

‘Twenty four seven’, it was all about me,

But if that’s all there is, I don’t want to be free;

I’ll pick up the phone now, and hope it’s good news,

I don’t want to be left with the ‘Losing You Blues.’

I’m gonna wake up, shake up, I don’t want to break up,

Living life without you, is the ‘ Losing You Blues’.

I’m gonna wake up, shake up, I don’t want to break up,

Living life without you, is the ‘Losing You Blues.’

The losing you blues

I’m getting high on love, and I can’t help it,

I’m getting high on love and high on you,

Not just your smile, that’s got me seeing stars now,

It’s everything you say and do.

I know I’ve got it bad, but I don’t want a cure,

Bad means I’m feeling good,

It isn’t just a kiss, that’s heating up my blood,

It’s everything you say and do.

I’m getting high on love and I can’t help it,

I’m getting high on love and high on you,

Not just your smile that’s got me seeing stars now,

It’s everything you say and do.

So where do we go now baby, where do we go from here?

I’ve learnt to fly with you, I ain’t gonna disappear,

I don’t want to live without you, I’m not even gonna try,

Love is the drug like you, that’s put me on this high.

I’m getting high on love and I can’t help it,

I’m getting high on love and high on you,

Not just your smile that’s got me seeing stars now,

It’s everything you say and do,

I’m getting high as a kite, you’d better believe it,

I’m getting high as a kite ‘n high on you,

I don’t want a drink, I don’t need a cigarette,

‘cause I’m getting high on you.

Instrumental

I’m getting high on love and folk they are talking,

They put the blame on you,

But I don’t really care, let ‘em talk, let ‘em stare,

I want to get my kicks from you.

I’m getting high on love and I can’t help it,

I’m getting high on love and high on you,

Not just your smile that’s got me seeing stars now,

It’s everything you say and do,

I’m getting high as a kite, you’d better believe it,

I’m getting high as a kite ‘n high on you,

I don’t want a drink, I don’t need a cigarette,

‘cause I’m getting high on you.

You are the habit that I don’t want to quit,

‘cause I’m getting high on you,

I’m getting high on you,

Yes I am, I’m getting high on you,

I’m getting high on you.

I'm Getting High on You

‘COLD’

Cold…I feel so cold,

I’ve never felt as cold as this before,

It’s on the outside, it’s on the inside,

And I don’t want to live here anymore,

In this place called loneliness and pain,

Why did I let you go? Please, come back again,

‘cause I’m so cold.

Warm…you made me warm,

I’d never felt as warm as that before,

Not just the outside, but on the inside,

Until I said goodbye, and closed the door,

Took the road to loneliness and pain,

Why did I let you go? Please come back again,

I feel so cold.

Love burned like a fire not long ago.

Why I doused the flames I’ll never know,

Now my life is cold and full of pain,

Let me light the fire once again.

Love…you gave me love,

I’d never known a love like that before,

And from the outside, you took me inside,

When I was feeling lost, and insecure,

In my world of loneliness and tears,

Until you came along, and took away my fears,

But now I’m cold.

Love burned like a fire not long ago,

Why I doused the flames I’ll never know,

Now my life is cold and full of pain,

Let me light the fire once again.

Instrumental

Cold…I feel so cold,

I’ve never felt as cold as this before,

I’m on the outside, I can’t get inside,

Because I said goodbye, and closed the door,

Let the fire burn down, it’s such a shame,

Yes, now I feel so cold, and I can’t stand the pain,

I feel so cold.

Let the fire burn down, it’s such a shame,

Yes, now I feel so cold, and I can’t stand the pain,

I feel so cold… so cold.

Cold

What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me?
Why don’t I cry anymore?
It’s not that I don’t get lonely,
I get lonely that’s for sure,
But maybe now I’m all cried out,
With nothing left inside,
‘cause on the day that love walked out, something in me died.

I play a game of solitaire, then turn the lights down low,
It’s what you do when no one’s there,
You watch the Late, Late Show,
Then try to get a little sleep,
Before the night is done,
But sorrow’s there, and it burns deep,
And still the tears don’t come.

What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me?
Why don’t I cry anymore?
What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me?
Why don’t I cry anymore?

I remember tears of joy, but now I can’t explain,
Just how I came to lose the boy,
That started tears of pain,
Then moving from my silent room,
I walk down lonely streets,
But now I know the tears won’t come,
Although the heart still beats.

What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me?

Why don’t I cry anymore?

What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me?

Why don’t I cry anymore?

Instrumental

What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me? Why don’t I cry anymore?
What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me? Why don’t I cry anymore?

No, I don’t cry anymore.

I wrote you a letter yesterday,

And put it in the mail box right away,

When I make my mind up, I don’t hesitate,

I wrote were getting married, no debate!

I left you this message on your phone,

But I won’t hang around, I’m coming home,

I can’t wait to see you, baby you’re just great,

That’s why we’re getting married, no debate!

Sticks and stones can break the bones, that’s definitely true,

But people talking out of turn, don’t let ‘em get to you;

They say that I don’t love you, well tell it to the birds!

‘cause you’re the only one that counts, so listen to my words.

You know I’m not the type to make a fuss,

Now I don’t have my car, I’ll take the bus,

Then I’ll tell the driver, buddy don’t be late,

‘cause soon I’m getting married, no debate!

When the bus arrives, no going back,

Now I’ve burned my bridges, that’s a fact,

Everything will work out, there’ll be no regret,

‘cause soon we’re getting married, no debate!

Instrumental

Sticks and stones can break the bones, that’s definitely true,

But bad words never harm you, if you don’t let ‘em through;

Some folk can be heartless, they just cuss and crow,

But I love you, and you love me, that’s all they need to know.

Do I think you’re perfect, no debate,

A living loving legend, no debate,

You can call the preacher, fix the wedding date,

‘cause soon we’re getting married, no debate!

Do I think you’re perfect, no debate,

A living loving legend, no debate,

You can call the preacher, fix the wedding date,

‘cause soon we’re getting married no debate!

And that’s because I love you, no debate!

I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately
That first ‘Hello’, but then the last ‘Goodbye’,
And so much in-between, we loved and lived the dream,
And never thought a tender heart could die.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the good times,
When every summer seemed to last a year,
But now time goes so fast, and nothing ever lasts,
Except the memories that I hold dear,
….now you’re not here.
Now you’re not here.

I want to reach out through time and space and find you,
I want to bring you back and never let you go,
For when soulmates meet, their lives are both complete,
But if you take away a heart, the other heart won’t beat.

I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately,
And how my life is empty without you,
No answer when I call, no footsteps in the hall,
So lonely now, I know what I must do,,,

I’m going to reach out through time and space and find you,
I’m going to bring you back and never let you go,
For when soulmates meet, their lives are both complete,
But if you take away a heart, the other heart won’t beat.

Instrumental

I’m going to reach out through time and space and find you,
I’m going to bring you back and never let you go,
For when soulmates meet, their lives are both complete,
But if you take away a heart, the other heart won’t beat.

Soulmates…yes, we are soulmates
And I… I need you.
Soulmates… yes, we are soulmates
And I… I love you.

Soulmates

The boy and girl in the photograph,

well I don’t know their names,

but I have seen them many times before,

I’ve seen their smiling faces in silver picture frames,

in broken glass, in broken homes, and lying on the floor.

So many golden memories before the silent pain,

children playing in the sun, but then the wind and rain,

coming out of nowhere, to spoil a perfect day,

and someone taking hold of love, and throwing it away.

Picking up the pieces, of lives and shattered glass,

it’s not easy, sometimes there is blood,

but if we keep the photograph, it just may come to pass,

that we can heal the wounds and make life good.

The boy and girl in the photograph,

please give them all your love,

don’t let their hopes and dreams fall to the floor,

take them to a higher place, and show them what is good,

no broken glass, no broken home, behind a friendly door.

That’s the way it should be, and it will be if we try,

no one has to feel the pain, and no one has to die,

looking to the future, inside that picture frame,

no broken glass, no broken hearts, and love is home again.

Picking up the pieces, of lives and shattered glass,

it’s not easy, but it can be done,

yes we can find a better way, and we can make it last,

and see our children playing in the sun.

Instrumental

Picking up the pieces of lives and shattered glass,

When he walked into the room,

Heads began to turn,

Cool, the guy looked cool,

And style, enough to burn.

Six foot tall, and handsome,

Looking neat and trim,

He’d obviously been working out,

Down at the local gym.

Hair slicked back, and looking good,

Blue eyes behind his ‘shades’,

The way he walked, the way he stood,

Left everyone amazed.

‘cause this was a guy with style,

The way he combed his hair,

The way he made you smile,

But made you think… BEWARE!

Yes, I believe those kind of guys are dangerous,

They break your heart, and then they walk away,

You’re just another girl, and you’re anonymous,

As they move on, to make another ‘play’,

Keeping up with fashion,

Looks great in red and black,

Fills your heart with passion,

Then he turns his back.

So you watch him walk away,

I guess life isn’t fair,

Thinks you’re just another dame,

So look out girls, BEWARE!

I’m telling you right now such men are dangerous,

‘cause they don’t really care, and that’s a crime,

Pretending that their love for you is serious,

But style and charm can fool you every time.

Instrumental

Riding in his ‘limo’,

This guy you shouldn’t trust,

You don’t know how far he’ll go,

So always take the bus.

In the end he’ll drive away,

He really doesn’t care,

If you go or if you stay

So look out girls BEWARE!

But even when you know such men are dangerous,

Yes even when you know there could be pain,

You never take the warning very serious,

And then the story starts all over again,

But even when you know such men are dangerous,

Yes even when you know there could be pain,

You never take the warning very serious,

And then the story starts all over again,

And then the story starts all over again.

Such Men Are Dangerous

Celebrations, good vibrations,

This could be the night,

Dedications, salutations,

Better hold on tight,

But here comes trouble,

Bursts the bubble,

Take it in your stride,

Sleeping, walking,

Laughing, talking,

Eyes shut, open wide.

I’m taking a ride on this Merry- Go-Round,

And I’m getting high as a kite,

My head is in the clouds,
But my feet are on the ground,

This could be another crazy night.

Big time Rollers, shrug their shoulders,

Looking for a fight,

I won’t fake it, I can take it,

When the time is right,

Accusation, explanation,

Blame it on the booze,

Medication, compensation,

Got to be good news.

Short instrumental break.

But I’m getting off of this Merry- Go-Round,

I suddenly feel kind of rough,

My head is in my hands,

And I’m looking at the ground,

Someone call a taxi, had enough!

But I’m getting off of this Merry-Go -Round

I suddenly feel kind of rough,

My head is in my hands,

And I’m looking at the ground,

Someone call a taxi, had enough

Instrumental

Yes, I’m getting off of this Merry-Go-Round,

And I’m turning my back on the zoo,

I’m on my way, I’m homeward bound,

Coming back home to you,

Yes, I’m getting off of this Merry-Go-Round

And I’m turning my back on the zoo.

I’m on my way, I’m homeward bound,

Coming back home to you,

Yes, I’m getting of this Merry-Go-Round,

And I’m turning my back on the zoo,

I’m on my way, I’m homeward bound,

Coming back home to you.

The other day walked down to Sycamore Park

I didn’t mind the cool September rain,

And then I heard a voice, say ’will you stop and talk?’

I waited, then I heard those words again.

A boy was looking at me, no more than seventeen

I must admit, he took me by surprise,

In and out of shadow, by a sycamore tree

But I still saw the sadness in his eyes.

The boy in Sycamore Park, I never knew his name

Though we talked and talked the many hours away,

Walking hand in hand, laughing in the rain

‘til the sadness in his eyes had gone away.

And suddenly the hurt came back, he knew he couldn’t stay

He said he really had to go away,

It was something that he felt he had to do

Something, that he had to follow through.

But I never saw my beautiful friend again

He never stayed around there to explain,

Oh yes, we’d laughed a lot, and talked so well

But some things, you hide inside your shell.

The boy in Sycamore Park, wherever did he go?

The boy I loved and lost, perhaps I’ll never know,

The boy I met that time, one rainy autumn day
The boy in Sycamore Park who went away.

Instrumental

The boy in Sycamore Park, wherever did he go?

The boy I loved and lost, perhaps I’ll never know,

The boy I met that time, one rainy Autumn day

The boy in Sycamore Park, who went away.

The boy in Sycamore Park, please pass this way,

Return to Sycamore Park….today.

The Boy in Sycamore Park

A while ago I moved to Paris, France,

Well, a girl has got to live, and find romance,

And no, I’m not complaining, in fact, I’m doing fine,

Having lots of fun, and a little wine.

I keep in touch with all the girls back home,

But all I hear is misery on the phone,

And when I get a letter, all I read is pain,

And every time I call, it’s still the same.

Meanwhile, back in Paris, guess who’s feeling great,

I met a boy who’d just got back from Spain,

Holding hands and kissing, like we couldn’t wait,

Walking on the banks of the river Seine.

But I still think about the girls back home,

The girls who call me up ‘cause they’re alone,

I say when you’re unhappy, you need a change of scene,

Make a move, and you can live the dream.

Yes, love and Paris go together well,

In a small café, or in the best hotel,

Along the Champs Elysees, or down a cobbled street,

Every special place where lovers meet.

Meanwhile, back in Paris, I’m still having fun,

‘Home sweet home’ is something I don’t miss,

But sometimes I swap Paris, for Monte Carlo sun,

Believe me, life don’t get much better than this!

Instrumental

So listen, girls why don’t you take a chance,

And spend a little time in Paris, France,

Then maybe you’ll get lucky, and fine the perfect guy,

No guarantees, but still you have to try.

Meanwhile, back in Paris, I’m still having fun,

‘Home sweet home’ is something I don’t miss,

But sometimes I swap Paris, for Monte Carlo sun,

Believe me, life don’t get much better than this!

And pardon my French, but here’s the reason why…

Les filles, venez a’ Paris, c’est la vie,

Et la vie a’ Paris, c’est l’amour!

Meanwhile, back in Paris, I’m still having fun,

‘Home sweet home’ is something I don’t miss,

But sometimes I swap Paris, for Monte Carlo sun,

Believe me, life don’t get much better than this!

Meanwhile, back in Paris, I’m still having fun,

‘Home sweet home’ is something I don’t miss,

But sometimes I swap Paris, for Monte Carlo sun,

Believe me life don’t get much better than this!

Meanwhile, back in Paris

Now, Sean Malone and several friends

were sitting in Murphy’s Bar,

And by the way, the place was known

for serving the finest jar.

The atmosphere was always good,

you’d come in to hear the band,

And welcome strangers with a beer,

and shaking them by the hand.

Well, Sean Malone and all his friends

were full of joy and life,

For just arrived, a baby boy

for Sean and his darling wife.

The music played, and jokes were made,

no time for politics,

That’s why nobody could explain,

exactly what happened next.

The music stopped, a fight began,

and people hit the floor,

Those who could, got up and ran,

and made for the nearest door.

Flying chairs, and lots of noise,

as blood mixed with the booze,

Flying fists, from all the boys,

what happened to Sean’s good news?

Trouble, who needs trouble?

when life goes by so fast,

Life is short, make life sweet,

for nothing ever lasts.

So shake my hand, give a smile,

And raise another jar,

As we spend a little while,

sitting in Murphy’s Bar.

Instrumental

Yes, Murphy’s Bar is still the place

for Sean, he’s still a fan,

And what is past is history,

Sean’s baby became a man.

Yes, Murphy’s Bar is still the place
for Sean, he’s still a fan,
And what is past is history,
Sean’s baby became a man.

But no one solved the mystery

of how it all began,

That crazy night in Murphy’s Bar,

and just how it all began.

But no one solved the mystery
of how it all began,
That crazy night in Murphy’s Bar,
and just how it all began.

That crazy night in Murphy’s Bar,
and just how it all began.

These are the days that I’ll remember all my life,
and there’ll be no regrets, whatever comes,
now’s the time for heroes, when they hear the distant drums,
until the fire burns down, burns down from red to black.

These are the days that I’ll remember all my life,
you look at me and smile, it feels so good,
I’ll be there for you now, and l will go the extra mile,
through the desperate hours, although there may be blood.

I was only killing time, hoping the heartache wouldn’t last,
running around the same old circle,
running hard, but going nowhere fast.
but now I’m running hard with you,
and every step I take, worth any pain,
I believe in you, and what you do,
it’s true, I’ll never know your like again.

These are the days that I’ll remember all my life,
a crazy roller-coaster ride with you,
living every moment, through the highs and through the lows,
now’s the time for heroes, and suddenly, it’s you.

Instrumental

These are the days that I’ll remember all my life,
but when it’s time to leave me, don’t look back,
I know the hero must move on, he hears the distant drums,
until the fire burns down, burns down from red to black.

Until the fire burns down, burns down from red to black.

Days that I'll remember

Although there’s solid ground beneath your feet?
Your footsteps make no sound, down that dark street,
But must you walk alone each silent mile?
I’d like to know, step out of shadow, for a while.

If your life must always be a mystery,
Then I would never try to change your ways,
But where you are is where I want to be,
And that will never change, down all the days.

Down all the days, I’ll be there for you,
Whatever tune the piper plays,
I’ll dance the dance with you,
Perhaps I’ll never know you, or understand your ways,
But I’ll be there for you, my love,
For you, down all the days.

Sometimes the hero has to run away,
Disappearing in the twilight haze,
Coming back to fight on another day,
And never giving up, down all the days.

Perhaps you think that I’ll give up on you,
And the way I feel, a passing phase,
But when I say I love you, of course it’s true,
And that will never change, down all the days.

Down all the days, I’ll be there for you,
Whatever tune the piper plays,
I’ll dance the dance with you,
Perhaps I’ll never know you, or understand your ways,
But I’ll be there for you, my love,
For you, down all the days.

Yes, I’ll be there for you, my love,
For you, down all the days.

Down All The Days

It’s a long, and lonely way down from the top,
and I should know, I reached the dizzy heights,
once upon a time, well not so long ago,
so many golden days and silver nights.

It’s a long, and lonely way back to the best,
and I should know, now you’re so far away,
my 20-20 vision is now put to the test,
when all I see is blue turn into grey.

Then grey turns into black, and I go down,
down into the darkness and despair,
but you can help me, save me, bring me back,
then I will live again, because you’re there.

I’m in a sad, and such a very lonely place,
take me back to where I used to be,
once upon a time, well not so long ago,
when life was beautiful, for you and me.

Now where you are, perhaps is lonely too,
and I would know, if I could see your face,
please talk to me, and tell me if it’s true,
there doesn’t have to be a lonely place.

Instrumental

But heroes come and go, that is their way,
they move along, to run another race,
where winning must be part of every day,
but you and I , stay in a lonely place.

Life can be beautiful, life can be great,
but life can also be, a lonely place.
such… a lonely place.

In a Lonely PLace

No one gets out of this place, my love,
no one gets out of here alive,
this is no, come and go as you please,
you should know, this is no ‘nine to five’
There is no, ’I’ll get it right next time’
sad to say, there is no second chance,
but always you and me, straight down the line,
and maybe there’ll be time for one more dance.

The beginning and the end, they are the same,
can’t you see it’s just a crazy game?
And no one gets a winning hand, or drinks the vintage wine,
so let us say ‘Goodnight’ for the very last time.

No one gets out of this place my love,
no one gets out of here alive,
there is no place to hide, that’s the deal,
in the end, nowhere we can survive,
There’ll be no, ‘See you later my love’
what a shame, there’ll be no morning star,
but always you and me, straight down the line,
and thinking, dearest heart, of who we are.
