1.Always Asking Questions
We all want peace we don't want misery
So many of us wont let us be these things
But we only are confused
We feel stronger as we grow older
But still we feel bemused
Always asking questions
We're always asking questions
And the temptation is to just step back
Well we give what we lack
We will always be asking questions
Why rich？
Why poor？
Always asking questions
We're always asking questions
Why this？
Why that？
We're always asking questions
Why this？
Why that？
Always asking
Don't stop asking
Don't stop asking questions
Always asking questions
In answer to this question is just shut up
You don't know
I don't know
Nobody knows
This is an answer to every question
This is a place to begin
Always asking questions
Always asking questions
Why this？
Why that？
Why this？
Why that？
Always asking questions
(why this why that？)
Always asking questions
(why this why that？)
Always asking questions
(why this why that？)

2.City Song
It was that night at nowhere, i saw you standing there
Darlin' you were hungry for life, an innocent in this land
What is it about this city, that brings us all to life
Ten millions souls vibrating,
They're shimmering in the night
You mustn't think of staying,
The price is more than you'd think
It's giving up the sweetest part of you,
For this heartless prize
When does a vision of heaven become a living hell
Ten million souls vibrating, they're acting it out for real
Where do all the lonely people go,
When they want some lovin'
Where do all the lonely people hide, when they feel like cryin'
It was that night at nowhere, a cold glass in your hand
Darlin' you were angry with life, a prisoner in this land
What is it about this city, that brings us all to life
Ten millions souls vibrating,
They're shimmering in the night
Where do all the lonely people go,
When they want some lovin'
Where do all the lonely people hide, when they feel like cryin'
Where do all the lonely people go, in this crowded city
Where do all the lonely people hide, there's no sanctuary
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to handshake, nowhere to smile
Won't you talk with me
Spend some time and give me life
When does a vision of heaven become a living hell
Ten million souls vibrating
They're shimmering in the night
Where do all the lonely people go, in this crowded city
Where do all the lonely people hide, there's no sanctuary
A vision of heaven
A vision of heaven
3.Everlasting Love
He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the tv
She needed someone with an interior smile
She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill
Chorus
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams
Is this love worth waiting for
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for
4.Hide And Seek
There was a time when there was nothing at al
Nothing at all, just a distant hum
There was a being and he lived on his own
He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do
He drew up the plans, learnt to work with his hands
A million years passed by and his work was done
And his words were these...
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it, hope you find it
Hope you find me in you
So she had built her elaborate home
With it's ups and it's downs, its rains and its sun
She decided that her work was done, time to have fun
And she found a game to play
Then as part of the game
She completely forgot where she'd hidden herself
And she spent the rest of her time
Trying to find the parts
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it, hope you find it
Hope you find me in you
There was a time when there was nothing at all, nothing at all
Just a distant hum
5.I.g.y.(International Geophysical Year)
Donald fagen
Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
This dream's in sight
You've got to admit it
At this point in time that it's clear
The future looks bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from new york to paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be a.o.k.
Chorus
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've got to win
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets for everyone
On that train all graphite a glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from new york to paris
(more leisure for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young
6.Life In One Day
The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
Chorus
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
The old man said to me
Said you can't change the world single-handedly
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water is champagne
And fill my glass again and again
While the wolves are gathering round your door
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
I bit off more than i can chew
Only so much you can do
Wolves are gathering round my door
Ask them in and invite some more
I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
7.Lift Me Up
I've got your picture in the palm of my hand
And i'm squeezin' it i'm teasin' it
I'd follow you to the edge of this land
But i'm losin' it, confusin' it
This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Stop me from fallin' you know i need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that i once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
There'll be a time when all our rhythms of love
Are shakin' it we're makin' it
There'll be a place where life is livin' to give
This harmony it will come to me
And when i think of those who love you now
If i had my chances again somehow
Stop me from fallin' you know i need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that i once knew
And when you can see
Another side of me
I'm waiting for you
I'm not eating i'm not sleeping this tension this worry
You don't call you don't write me
I need your love in a hurry
Teach me, reach me, meet me, beat me,
Tease me, please me,
Come and seize me
This is a man who has lost control
Lost the road to a higher soul
Catch me from fallin' you know i need you
To lift me up
Won't you lift me up yeah
Won't you take me to a place that i once knew
And when you can see
You've always been there for me
I'm waiting for your love
And when you can see
The changes i've made in me
Well i'm waitin' for, you know i'm waitin' for your love
8.Like To Get To Know You Well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together
Repeat chorus
Together we can cast away the fear
Together we can wipe away the tear
Together we can strip down the barriers
And be one
Don't wanna talk about the weather
Don't wanna talk about the news
Just wanna get to the real you inside
Repeat chorus
Don't you think now is the time
We should be feelin'
Just wanna simply say
Won't let you slip away
People wanna talk about the future
Don't wanna linger on the past
Just wanna reach to the real you inside
Forget cold glances and rejections
Leave the things that separate
Build on a trust that we can stand on
Repeat chorus
Finding all are insecure
Opening the same door
Leaving out a stubborn pride
Seeing from another side
Repeat chorus
9.Look Mama
Honey, i think audrey's a little mature for you
No i don't think she's mature i think she's nice
Hey mom when are we going
Look mama i love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama i love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Don't wrap me up in cotton wool
You can't treat me like a fool
Anyway if i was, you gotta let me be one
Ok give me your advice
It's not my fault if i can't be wise
Show me a person who hasn't been done
Look mama i love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama i love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Don't try to stick your rules on me
I wasn't born as a carbon copy
I came out of you
But don't think that you own me
I have my respect for you
I won't try to change the things you do
Give me a break
Let me learn it my way
You think you know more than me
Experience hasn't set you free
Look mama i love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama i love you
Loom mama, look, look mama, look
I gotta make my own mistakes
Why can't you treat me like a friend
Look mama i love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama i love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama i love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama, look
10.New Song
I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear
This is a song to all my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew
11.No One Is To Blame
You can look at the menu but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushions but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment but you can't commit the sin
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can build a mansion but you just can't live in it
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
Some break the rules
And live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can see the summit but you can't reach it
It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain
And you want her and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame
12.Pearl In The Shell
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
His duty was to use it - left his pearl in the shell
13.Tears To Tell
The time has come to watch you go watch you go
We weathered rough storms together
Couldn't conceive of the end
When i heard of your leavin'
It came as a shock and surprise
Like the deepest kinds of love
Lost on the inside
Locked right on the inside
What is the greatest expression of love,
To let go and wish well
But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell
I couldn't be the one to hold you stop you go
It is like stripping the soul
Letting all the finest pieces go
You know these feelings between us
Could not be expressed
You will never know my old secrets
They are so deeply felt they are so deeply felt
What is the greatest expression of love
To let go and wish well
But all these finer feelings have left me
What is the greatest expression of love,
To let go and wish well
But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell
Leaving me with my anecdoted and private jokes
The memory of a friend
You don't seem to know my old secrets
They are so deeply felt they are so deeply felt
What is the greatest expression of love
To let go and wish well
But all these finer feelings have left me
What is the greatest expression of love
To let go and wish well
But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell
But all these finer feelings have left me with tears to tell
14.The Prisoner
You have watched me, safe in your anonymity
I have dreamed you, held in your security
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you've take hold
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
Every place i go i feel your lenses trained on me
This distant concentration takes away my energy
Your image burns it's negative
Behind my waking eyes
Then the night comes and you stalk your prize
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you've taken hold
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You've entered me now make me whole
15.Things Can Only Get Better
We're not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand sceptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize
And do you feel scared - i do
But i won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh
Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it
And do you feel
Wow wow wow oh...
And do you feel...
16.Two Souls
Whatever happened to the value of our love
I've seen you change
I've seen it coming slowly, these changes
You're not the same
It's not too late to start over
It's not too late to turn around
What are the things important to you？
Can't be the money
Well i got news for you
Two souls (should be two souls together)
Two souls (in the life that we planned)
But you're working obsession is squeezing me
Out of your world
I'd rather live in a doll's house in a small street
Where it always rains
You kid yourself you're working all for me
But older kids play with bigger trains
It's not too late to start over
It's not too late to turn 'round
It's like we live in separate worlds
Can't buy the lost time
I want my share of you
I want my share of you
Two souls (should be two souls together)
Two souls (in the life that we planned)
But you're working obsession is squeezing me
Out of your world
Can't buy the lost time
I want my share of you
I want my share of you
Two souls (should be two souls together)
Two souls (in the life that we planned)
Out of your world
17.What Is Love？
I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think that i don't
Sometimes i find you doubt my love for you, but i don't mind
Why should i mind, why should i mind
Chorus
What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway
Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Never worry never be sad
The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
This is why i don't mind you doubting
And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked
To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting
18.You Know I Love You...don't You？
You got the socket and i got the plug
I am the floor and you are the rug
I got the rhythm you got the beat
We feel it shake us from our souls to our feet
And you know i love you
You know i love you...don't you
You got the metal and i got the die
We make a structure that no one can deny
I need you and you need me
I need your honey like a flower needs a bee
You know i love you
You know i love you...don't you
No one is an island on that you can depend
A person on his own is a sinking ship
It will be that way til the time will end
Now don't you worry when things get tough
We'll stick together through the smooth and the rough
Your the steam engine and i am the tracks
Roll over me i'll be rolling right back 'cos
