1.We built this city
Written:B.Taupin/M.Page/D.Lambert/P.Wolf
We built this city
We built this city on rock'n roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock'n roll
Say you don't know me
Or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes
To that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla
Sinking in your fight
Too many run aways
Eating up the night
Marconi plays that mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock'n roll
Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares
They're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here
Someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible
Write us off the page
It's just another Sunday
In a tired old street
Police have got the toehold
And we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wreeking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us
Cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America
Coming through your schools
I'm looking out over the Golden Gate
Bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday
And I'm seein' that bumper to bumper traffic
Don't you remember
It's your favorite radio station in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay
The city that rocks
The city that never sleeps
2.Sara
Lyrics:Peter Wolf/Ina Wolf
Music:Peter Wolf/Ina Wolf
Go now, don't look back
We've drawn the line
Move on
It's no good to go back in time
I'll never find another girl like you
For happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice
The dream won't come true
Sara, Sara
Storms are brewing in your eyes
Sara, Sara
No time is a good time for goodbyes
Danger in the game when the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded
while my senses stood by(*)
Loved me like no one has ever loved me before
Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
Sara, nobody loved me anymore
Sara, Sara
No time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara
Storms are brewing in your eyes
Sara, Sara,
No time is a good time, no
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it,
why did it all fall apart...
3.Tomorrow Doesn't Matter Tonight
Written:Steven Cristol/Robin Randall
You already made up your mind
Just who you're looking for and what kind of love you'll find
Holding out for a dream
But I can see you're lonely, living isn't only a fantasy
I don't fit into your plans, but you can reach for my hands
CHORUS
Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, I'm holding you and it feels so
right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want
to stay
It's alright, 'cos tomorrow doesn't matter tonight
I really hate to see you confused
I want no promises, so what have you got to lose
When you look in my eyes
Don't think about tomorrow, this feeling isn't meant to be
analyzed
Why should you be all alone 'til your heart finds a home
CHORUS
(Solo)
(Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, tomorrow) Let yourself go!
(Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, tomorrow)
CHORUS
CHORUS
Tonight!
4.Rock Myself To Sleep
Written:Kimberley Rew/Vince De La Cruz
Yeah!
CHORUS
Every night I rock myself to sleep, every night I rock myself to
sleep
Every night I rock myself to sleep, thinkin' about you, thinkin'
about you
CHORUS
And I wanna say, it's not the same since you went away
And it's not right, you're not here with me tonight
And it's a crime, just lying here, wasting my precious time
I'm so lonely and I'm so blue, thinkin' 'bout the things I could
do to you
CHORUS
And I wanna know, don't you see how you hurt me so
Going out of my head, yeah I'm here in this empty bed
And it's a crime, whoa, just lying here, wasting my precious
time
I'm so lonely, baby, I'm so blue
Thinkin' 'bout all the things I could do to you
CHORUS
(Solo)
REPEAT CHORUS WHILE FADE OUT
5.Desperate Heart
Written:Randy Goodrum/Michael Bolton
One night, one empty room, one man gettin' over you
One star, one lonely moon, I make a wish, I know it'll never
come true
You call my name, and you beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains, I'm only a fool who can't help but
pretend
CHORUS
It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't let go until the love
is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart
Some nights I try in my mind, I see myself learning someone new
Still I know I'm wasting my time, no one can take the place of
you
So I close my eyes, I swear I feel you here by my side
But it's all only a lie, I need to believe for my heart to
survive
CHORUS
I keep holding on
All this time I've been drowning in hopeless illusions I'm
keeping inside
That someday you'll walk out of the shadows and back into my
life
It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't believe your love for
me is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on (with a desperate heart)
With my desperate heart, I can't let go until the love is gone
(All over but I'm holding on) I keep holding on
(All over but I'm holding on) I can't believe your love for me
is gone
(All over but I keep holding on)
(All over but I'm holding on, all over but I keep holding on)...
6.Private Room
Written:Craig Chaquico/Mickey Thomas
Know what she's done to me, and I have been around
She sure can bring you pleasure, and she can bring you down
I should not tell you, if you want to learn
To take a tip from me now, don't turn your back on her
When she's promising you pleasure all night long
She may turn around and cut you to the bone
CHORUS
In a private room, she'll dance for you
In a private room, with just her high heel shoes
In a private room, she'll take your heart
And with you under her control, she will leave you all alone,
all alone
I was a midnight runner on her side of town
I used to get there early, to watch her dance around
She had this way of provin', you tend her like a crowd
When she lays eyes on you, you'd better watch out
While she's promising you pleasure all night long
She may turn around and cut you to the bone
CHORUS
She's no angel
Late at night she might get lonely, I know what she really needs
Someone who can hold her all night long, all night long, in a
private room
In a private room, she'll dance for you, oh yeah
In a private room, with just her high heel shoes, not too much
more
In a private room
In a private room, she'll dance, she'll dance, dance for you
Oh!
7.Before I Go
Lyrics:David Roberts
Music:David Roberts
Turn me around, don't let me walk out forever
If there's a chance, the slightest chance, darling never say
never
You know it's out of my hands, 'cos I'm in way over my head
But it won't take me long, you could blink and I'll be gone
In your dark oversight, there must be one last breath of our
life
CHORUS
Now if there's something I can say, to make you see it half my
way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if there's something I can do, to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go, before I go
Angel of pride, girl won't you come and release me
Is it such a crime, oh such a crime, to surrender so easy
You know how hard I've tried, well maybe I've tried too damn
hard
But it won't take you long, you can break this liaison
CHORUS
I don't know where this road ever ends
The point of existence, your die-hard resistance
And I don't know where the shoulder begins
And gravity crumbles, tenacity tumbles
But it won't take me long, you could blink and I'll be gone
In your dark oversight, there must be one last breath of our
life
CHORUS
And if there's something I can say, to make you, make you see it
half my way
Just tell me once, before I go, before I go
Ooh tell me once before I go
If there, if there's something I can say to you
To make you see it half my way, tell me, tell me
If there's something I can say, oh now baby, to make you turn
around...
8.Hearts Of The World Will Understand
Written:Stephen Broughton Lunt/Arthur Stead
Give me a minute, give me some time, give me a second to make up
my mind
Just wait a moment, I want a chance to think it over
You say you can't wait forever, but something holds me back
Between the two of us, we can't decide, just where the answer
lies
CHORUS
You know hearts of the world will understand, you know they will
Hearts of the world will understand
I feel a pressure I can't resist, intoxicated from the first
kiss
Over the limit, your invitations leave me breathless
Although I can't wait much longer, something holds me back
Between the two of us the tensions rise, this feeling won't
subside
CHORUS
My mind is torn between right and wrong, the two extremes and I
hate it
I won't give in to you, just 'cos you want me too, ooh, life's
so complicated
Ah but given time I might change my mind, we just have to face
it
Between the two of us, we can't decide, just where the answer
lies
(Solo)
Although I can't wait much longer, something holds me back
Between the two of us the tensions rise, this feeling won't
subside
CHORUS
You know they will
Hearts of the world will understand, hearts of the world will
understand
(repeats out)
9.Love Rusts
Written:Bernie Taupin/Martin Page
Here I am now, somewhere on the highway
I just checked into some low-lit room
I call my service back in San Francisco
Tell my landlord, I'll be home by June
But what about me, boy, back in California
What about the blue-eyed girl, you're but a child
You held me for ransom, like some beautiful bandit
Going down for the third time, drowning in your life
Love rusts when it rains on romance
Thunder rolls in on a clear blue day
We used to shine like the eye of a diamond
But something happened, the weather changed
I should have known better
you read just like a roadmap
Staying in one place
doesn't interest you at all
Maybe I don't move
as fast as I used to
But youth is something
we can't hold on to long
Love rusts when it rains on romance
Hailstones heavy on this empty heart
It crowds the window where I used to watch you
Down by the shoreline in the dark
Love rusts when it rains on romance
Thunder rolls in on a clear day
We used to shine like the eye of a diamond
But something happened and the weather changed
Something happened and the weather changed
Something happened
Then the weather changed
Ooh, I tell you we used to shine
(We used to shine,oh,how love rusts)
(We used to shine,oh,how love rusts)
Ooh,we used to shine
Ooh, we used to shine
you know
(We used to shine, oh, how love rusts)
(We used to shine, oh, how love rusts)
(We used to shine, oh, how love rusts)
(We used to shine, oh, how love rusts)
