4 On The Floor

Nylons 4 On The Floor Lyrics
1.All I Have To Do Is Dream

When i want you in my arms
When i want you and your charms
Whenever i want you all i have to do is dream
Dream dream dream

When i feel blue in the night
And i need you to hold me tight
Whenever i want you all i have to do is dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is gee whiz
I'm dreaming my life away

I need you so i could die
I love you so that is why
Whenever i want you all i have to do is dream
Dream dream dream


2.Amazon

Somewhere on the edge of time
You hear a plaintive song
Remembering a way of life
That seemed to go on and on and on
What can we offer them now
In a world that has turned from grace
The jungle is burning so fast
The smoke can be seen from space

I walk along these smokey city streets
Within these jungle walls it's so hard to breathe
I heard the news and it's been eating at me
They're tearing down the last of the amazon trees

The poor have need of the land, they say
But the soil is thin and ends up blowin' away
What about a million years of history
And the creatures who inhabit this great mystery

We've got to buy back the amazon
We've got to give the earth a chance to carry on
If it's money they need let's give them all that they want
We've got to buy back the amazon
Buy back the amazon

We carry on and keep it all inside
But the time will come when there'll be nowhere to hide
With all we're spending on our wars in space
Why can't we save the mother of the human race

We've got to buy back the amazon
We've got to give the earth a chance to carry on
If it's money they need let's give them all that they want
We've got to buy back the amazon
Buy back the amazon

Buy back the amazon
Save it now so we can pass it on
Wake up! our future's almost gone
We've got to buy back the amazon
We've got to give the earth a chance to carry on
Make no mistake, when it's gone it's gone...


3.Chain Gang

Oh don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
Oh don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard
'til the sun's comin' down
Workin' on the highways and byways
And wearin' a frown
I hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say

(chorus)

Oh i work so..
I work so hard
To see my woman
Who i love so dear
But i, i've gotta work right here

(chorus)

My my my my my my my my my my
My work is so hard
Give me water
I'm thirsty
Oh i, oh my work is so hard
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say

(chorus)

I don't wanna work on that gang (repeat)


4.Drift Away

drift away

Day after day i'm more confused
But i look for the light thru the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that i hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame-oh

Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away

Beginnin' to think that i'm wasting time
and i don't understand the things
I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm counting on you
To carry me thru-oh

Chorus

When my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when i'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' thru to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know i believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along
You're makin' me strong

Chorus


5.Eli's Coming

Eli's coming, eli's coming
Girl, you'd better hide your heart
Your lovin' heart
Eli's coming and the cards say...

Broken heart, oh broken heart, oh broken heart

Eli's coming, hide your heart girl
Eli's coming, hide your heart girl
Girl, eli's coming you'd better hide
Girl, eli's coming you'd better hide
You'd better hide your heart, your heart
Eli's coming, hide your heart
You'd better better hide your heart

Eli's coming, better walk
Walk, but you'll never get away
No you'll never get away from the burn and the heartache
I walk to apollo by the bay
Everywhere i go

Eli's coming (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's coming (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's coming and he's coming to get you mama
I'm down on my knees
Oh broken heart

I say, you know, you coming ***
Gotta get away
Get, get, get, get away
From the man

Whoa, whoa, whoa, girl
Eli's coming you'd better hide
Girl, eli's coming you'd better hide
You'd better hide your heart
Eli's coming hide your heart
You'd better better hide your heart
Eli's coming better walk

Cry, but he's never gonna hear
No he's never gonna hear and he ain't gonna follow
I cry to the corners of the square
Everywhere i go

Eli's coming, eli's coming
Eli's coming and he's coming to get you mama
I'm down on my knees
Oh baby won't you hide your broken heart

Hide it, hide it, hide it, hide it
Hide it, hide it, hide it, hide it....

Eli's coming, eli's coming
Yeah, you'd better hide your heart


6.Good Old Acappella

Well there's a light coming from the window
And it shines down on the street
There's some guys standing on the corner
Singin' that good old harmony

And the light coming from the window
Shines on a streetcorner symphony
Let 'em laugh, let 'em sing
Makin' that good old harmony

Chorus:
Soul to soul
Brother to brother
Acappella
Sounds good to me
(repeat>

I just want it understood
The boys brought boogey to the neighbourhood
And they're standing under the light
**? of the night

Singing that good old acappella
Sound that sounds so sweet
Light, let 'em sing
Makin' that good old harmony

Chorus

When i turn out the light
Say goodbye to another night
I'm gonna rest my weary head
Put my bones away to bed

I'm gonna get on my knees and pray to the lord
To give me just one more day
Oh lord, hear my plea
This music means so much to me

Chorus


7.Heavenly Bodies

I can't understand this feeling i get
When you roll your pretty eyes that way
But i thank my lucky stars i guess you still like what you see

My poor poor heart's got nowhere to go
You looked at me and that's all i know
Got my head in the clouds at the thought of you loving me

Take a walk with the angels they watch you go by
Any heavenly body would fall for a devil like you

Make it a new day, do it all night
When the music is playing and you're holding me tight
I don't need anything but you to make me feel free

When i'm under the power of your persuasive charms
I've got everything i need in your arms
I don't want nobody but you to be loving me

Take a walk with the angels they watch you go by, yeah
Any heavenly body would fall for a devil like you

No need to run, no need to roam
Move it over mama 'cause i found me a home
You've got what it takes to make life sweet as can be
Can't you see
I can't get enough of the way you keep loving me

Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly

Any heavenly body would fall for a devil like you


8.I Love It When You Call My Name

Once i dreamt love would set me free
Warm as a kiss blowing on the breeze
Your love is a vicious game
I'll never be, never be, never be free again

You tell me lies so i'll make love to you
You make me do things i don't want to do
Baby, i come for the pleasure and i feel the pain
You spend my money take what you can get
You say you're sorry i forgive and forget
Baby, i take you back knowin' you'll do it again, and again and
again
But i love it when you call my name

When you call my name give me such a thrill
Call my name, zero in for the kill
You know you've got yourself a deadly aim
I love it when you call my name
I love it when you call my name

You pretend, you tease and you taunt
You never give me the love that i want
Love too cool, you could drive me insane
I said, 'don't wanna be the one in control
You hold the power and you won't let go'
Baby, i'm just a prisoner taken by the shame, oh yeah
But i love it when you call my name

When you call my name i come runnin' to you
Call my name, there's nothing i wouldn't do
You turn a spark into a ten foot flame
I love it when you call my name
I love it when you call my name

Once i dreamt love would set me free
Warm as a kiss blowin' on the breeze
Your love is a vicious game
I'll never, never, i will never be free, free again

Oh baby you've got control
Of my heart of my very soul
I love it baby, i love it baby, i love it when you call my name
I love it baby, i love it baby, i love it when you call my name

When you call my name give me such a thrill
Call my name zero in for the kill
You know you've got yourself a deadly aim
I love it when you call my name
You know, i love it
Yes i do, i love it

Call my name, all night long
Call me up at work and whisper on the telephone
I know you play a dirty dirty game
I love it when you call my name
I said i, i love it, i love it
Oh got to get to give me your love
Oh baby, oh yeah
I love it when you call my name


9.Kiss Him Goodbye

You know i love you
I'll always love you
Even though the tears are fallin'
From my eyes
I still remember baby when
Our love was so strong
So go on
Go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Goodbye, whoa goodbye

He doesn't love you the way that i love you
Cause if he did he wouldn't go and break your heart
He's only flirtin' baby but my love is so strong
So go on, go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye

Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye

He's never near you to comfort and cheer you
Even though the tears are fallin', fallin' from your eyes
He might be thrillin' baby but my love is ready and willin'
So go on, go ahead and kiss him
Go ahead and kiss him, oo
Go ahead and kiss him, oo
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Goodbye, whoa goodbye
Bye bye bye, goodbye, whoa goodbye bye bye
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na(repeat)
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye(repeat)


10.Lonely At The Top

I've been around the world
Had my pick of any girl
I should be happy but i'm not i should be happy but i'm
Everybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game
Oh, it's lonely at the top

Listen to the band they're playin' just for me
Look at all the people payin' just for
All the applause and all the praise
All the money i have made
Oh, it's lonely at the top

So take a tip from those who know
Livin' high can bring you low
You should be happy but you're not
Listen all you fools out there
Go on and love me, i don't care
Oh, it's lonely at the top


11.One Fine Day

One fine day, you'll look at me
And you will know our love was meant to be
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy

Those arms i long for will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me right by your side
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy

Though i know you're the kind of girl
Who only wants to run around
I will be waiting and someday darling
You'll come to me when your world is upside down, oh

One fine day, we'll meet once more
And you will want the love you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy

Though i know you're the kind of girl
Who only wants to run around
I will be waiting and someday darling
You'll come to me when your world is turning upside down, oh

One fine day, we'll meet once more
And you will want the love you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy, oh yeah
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy


12.Up On The Roof

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to take
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof's the only place i know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof

When i get home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from that hustling crowd
And all that ratrace noise down in the street
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me

I keep tellin' you that right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
And if this old world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Up on the roof


13.Wildfire

On the edge of town
I will wait for you

Breaking up a lonely world
I'll be satisfied
Making up another world
With you at my side

On the edge of town
I will wait for you
Breaking up is what we do
We're hurting too much
Making up is what we do
When we're needing to touch

I got ties-so do you
But i can't help myself
Whenever i see you

Running to me with your burning love
Like a wildfire
I'm caught in the flame of your burning love
It grows higher and higher

Breaking up you say goodbye
And shakin' your heart
Making up another lie
Can't keep us apart

I got ties-so do you
To somebody else
I got ties-so do you
But i can't help myself
Whenever i see you

Chorus

Ooh...how it burns me up
To my very soul
Ooh...i can't get enough
When it's burning out of control

Chorus
