3.End Of The Line

( patrick / parfitt )

Call me if you need me, woman
Don't feel you're all alone
You've been away for much too long
It's time that you came home

Out on the town, you've been fooling around
I've been talking to myself
I fantasise about the look in your eyes
It's magic in itself

But my heart's stopped healing
And i can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line

When you say that you want me woman
Is it just a lie?
Saying things that you don't believe
Can only mean goodbye

Dreaming of all the times we had
It seems all over now
Can't you see that i want you back
But i just can't see how

But my heart's stopped healing
And i can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line

But my heart's stopped healing
And i can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, but don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line


4.In The Army Now

a vacation in a forreign land
Uncle sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You be the hero of thw neiborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergant calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Oh, oh, you're in the army now


5.In Your Eyes

( rossi / frost )

Doesn't she look so well
With her long black hair and a look says she can tell
Doesn't she know so well
She can cast a spell with that look of heaven
In her eyes, in her eyes
In your eyes, your eyes

Now i can't get to sleep
I dream and dream all the day through
Doesn't seem to matter though
Doesn't seem to worry me
I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest i do
Honest i do, dream of you

Couldn't we be away
On a different day could be so unusual
Couldn't we try to be
What the others say, what they think they see there
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, your eyes

Now i have been a fool
I've been in love, haven't we all
Everybody does it though
Every time we keep going back again
I've made that mistake
I dream and dream honest i do
Honest i do dream of you

Wouldn't it feel the same
Is it just a game that we play from time to time
Wouldn't i feel so good
If i understood what i see is written there
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, your eyes

Now when towards the end
I'm feeling blue and everything's wrong
Doesn't matter at the time
Doesn't matter this time anyway
I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest i do
Honest i do dream, oh i can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest i do
Honest i do dream of you


6.Invitation

( rossi / young )

I got an invitation from a girl i used to know back home
It was an invitation asking me to telephone
She said, it's getting lonely here
And i've been gone for close a year
I took the first flight out to meet the girl i used to know back
home

She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red
gown
With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town
Now the faces all look the same
And all the places have the same old names
But in a year you've changed just like the girl i used to know
back home
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl i used to know
back home

Maybe it's true that i go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that i'm the lonely one alone
What can i say to you, what can i say to you?
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl i used to know
back home

It took another year before i started getting itchy toes
And then i had to leave, but that's the way the story goes
Well i reckon if she'd made me stay
I'd never live to see another day
I took the first flight out and left the girl i used to know
back home

Maybe it's true that i go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that i'm the lonely one alone
What can i say to you, what can i say to you?
I took the first flight out and left the girl i used to know
back home
Back home, i left the girl back home
I left the girl back home
I left the girl back home
I left the girl back home
I left the girl back home


7.Overdose


8.Red Sky

( david )

I was out on the highway
I was out on my feet
I was tired and hungry
I was late for the meet

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon i'm gonna make it with you

I had the desert on both sides now
I had the lights in my eyes
Of the town i remember
Up ahead in the cold black sky

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon i'm gonna make it with you

Well i remember that old saying
'bout how good tomorrow will be
But will i be lucky to see
With a red sky's lucky for me

In my dreams there is a picture
Of me in a big gold frame
And the poeple that i've never seen
Are pointing at my name

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon i'm gonna make it with you

I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon i'm gonna make it with you

Red sky...
Red sky...
Red sky...


9.Rollin' Home

( david )

I left my home one day
For the sake of better pay
In a forreign land 12 centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps burning down
On the hole drilled in the ground
And i dream of the girl i left behind

Well i signed the dotted line
And i thought in a few years time
I'd be home and we can start a brand new life
But everything went wrong
And i just don't know how long
They will make me stay to pay for my crime

And i wish i was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place i long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me

There's a law that rules this land
That i just didn't understand
I didn't know that i was doing wrong
But they don't seem to care
And they all do it when they're over there
But here your face is justice of their god

And i wish i was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place i long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me

All the money that i've saved
To pay for better days
Just can't make up for how i miss you so
There's no consolation prize
Oh, but when i close my eyes
I'm dreaming of you in our new home

And i wish i was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place i long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me

Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
