3.Going Down For The First Time

( bown / edwards )

I wake up every morning and that's my first mistake
From thereon in it's downhill all the way
I used to have a problem but now you want to leave
My new problem's getting through the day

Going down for the first time
Guess i've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, i can't stay here by myself
And i can't work you out of my mind

Now i don't mind admitting that maybe you were right
The more we try the less it seems to work
We get so used to banging our heads against the wall
It's only when we stop it starts to hurt

Going down for the first time
Guess i've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, i can't stay here by myself
I'll step right out of line, i'll go clean out of time
Yes i could use a little help, know i'd lose it by myself
If you fall out of sight, you know you'll turn out the light

Going down for the first time
Guess i've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, i can't stay here by myself
I'll step right out of line, i'll go clean out of time
Yes i could use a little help, know i'd lose it by myself
If you fall out of sight, you know you'll turn out the light
And i'll quietly go out of my mind

5.Little Dreamer

( rossi / frost )

You're a dreamer
A pretty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you
I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
I couldn't beat the fever

Just listen while i'm talking to you
All night long
Right or wrong
Listen to me all night long
I'm never gonna waste time crying
All night long
Right or wrong
I won't be crying all night long

You're a dreamer
A purty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you
I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
I couldn't beat the fever

You're a dreamer
A purty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you
I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
I couldn't beat the fever

I've waited long enough i reckon
On my own
Tried to phone
Tried to phone, but you're not home
I'm thinking while i try and reason
What went wrong
Something's gone
Ain't no good in hanging on

You're a dreamer
A purty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you
I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I got the fever
A fever for the dreamer
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
A fever for the dreamer
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
A fever for the dreamer

You didn't gimme gimme
You didn't gimme gimme
You didn't gimme gimme

8.Perfect Remedy

( rossi / frost )

I thought that you would leave my memory
I didn't think you'd stay in mind, i didn't think at all
At least i thought that with some misery
I'd find a way to have it all, and with or without you

But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right, put it another way
You do like you do when you do what you do like i do
Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control

You thought you had the perfect remedy
A perfect remedy for me, a remedy for all
You say at last you tried so pleasantly
To find a way to have it all, or have a drink on me

But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right, put it another way
You do like you do when you do what you do like i do
Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control

I guess it's just a faded memory
That comes along with certainty
Then goes and fades away
But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right


9.The Power Of Rock

( parfitt / williams / rossi )

He was a lonely boy
In a broken land
Where people were living and dying
In the name of a higher man
And then one day
Into his hand
The power of rock and roll

She was a hungry girl
For a caring world
And the rules say don't take a step over there
But she carries on
And drawn one day
Into the force by the power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, fighting for love, and singing you
Oh, oh, telling you why, and showing you
Oh oh, gonna be joined by rock and roll

In a working band
He became the man
But the law of the street
Said they could not meet
In any circumstance
But she did not care
They began to share
The power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, fighting for love, and singing you
Oh, oh, telling you why, and showing you
Oh oh, gonna be joined by rock and roll

Well they were learning
Of trouble they stayed ahead
And they were burning
Burning up and seeing red
That the place they loved would fall apart
If you can't show feeling from the heart
And then fighting
Know what they were fighting for
Can everybody
Give and take a little more
Because it's all too easy to forget
That you can fight 'til there ain't no reason left
So everybody, sing

Oh, oh, and singing you
Oh, oh, and showing you
Woh oh oh, and telling you
Woh oh oh

He was a lonely man
She was a hungry girl
Living on different sides
They were praying for a guiding word
And then one day
Into their hands
The power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, and singing you
Oh, oh, and showing you
Woh oh oh, and telling you
Woh oh oh
