Yes You Can

Steve Harley Yes You Can Lyrics
1.Victim Of Love

Heaven is calling to me
I gotta run now the feeling is right
A fireball is rising inside me
It's something i didn't anticipate
Something is happening to me
That i don't fully understand
This engine's a harley on kerosene
This is the hardest i've ever been
The message of love and the power of light

I'm alive, all right
Im just a victim of love
I'm alive all right
Wanna be your victim of love
I'm alive, i'm alive

Heaven is calling to me
I gotta run now the feeling is right
Dictating my lines and carresing me
Holding me heartbeat in it's light
Something is happening to me
That i don't fully understand
I'm out on the ocean of ecstasy
Sailing with venus here next to me
You're holding my future in your hand

I'm alive, all right
Im just a victim of love
I'm alive all right
Wanna be your victim of love
I'm alive, i'm alive

Gonna be taking you with me
Gonna be there for you when you call
Gonna perform with you watching me
Just open your door, i'm a rock and key
Take my hand, take my heart, take my mouth
Take it all

I'm alive, all right
Im just a victim of love
I'm alive all right
Wanna be your victim of love
I'm alive, i'm alive


2.The Lighthouse

Darkness ia a message on the sea
Light is like a life to the men below
And when your beam is shone on me
I get a magic glow
Could it be the light that's in you?
Could it my big, brown eyes?
Why does my light go on shining?
How come the darkest nights stay away?

Moonlight is a message for the soul
Spirit on a cross in a raging sea
And when your gift is given slow
You put a spell on me
Could it be your winking eye, love
Lightning up an emty road?
Why does my light go on shining?
How come the darkest nights stay away?


3.Star For A Week(Dino)

Anxious mother pleads, come home, dino
I can't believe that's my boy they're talking about
His dreams are in his motor-cycle
Swears he's gonna sort 'em out
He's going barefoot like the man with no name
Gonna break into a bank, if he surrendered
Imagine the shame

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but i wanna be a
Star for a week or two
Just wanna be someone,anyone
I'd be complete if i could be a star for a week

Across the country he's been stealing cars
Playing cat and mouse like a hero on d-day
Shoeless boy, this is shotgun baby
Running from the law like it's a holiday
He's a good boy in his heart, but a fool
Don't wanna be a fugitive, he'd rather be at home
Or in school

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but i wanna be a
Star for a week or two
Just wanna be someone,anyone
I'd be complete if i could be a star for a week

Everywhere, he reads give up, dino
We wanna know what's this death-wish
You're talking about
He's cold, he's hungry and he's scared
He's got his father in his mind, and this message to get
Out, i wanna steal, wanna give, wanna die, wanna live,
Wanna find my own identity like any other teenage kid

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but i wanna be a
Star for a week or two
Just wanna be someone,anyone
I'd be complete if i could be a star for a week


4.Rain In Venice

Rain on my window, blurring my vision of another day
Can't get a thing going right
It don't count or matter anyway
When i lost you, i was acting like a fool
And when i'd got you, i was making it like i'm cool
It's true

Love has flooded my heart and there's
Rain in venice for the first time
Love has flooded my heart and there's
Rain in venice for the first time

Brushing my hair down, belting my raincoat 'gainst
Another storm
I'm gonna tear down your photograph
And the memories i've been hiding from
I'll keep walking, i'll keep running away from the truth
People keep talking, they're spreading rumours about
My news, they're fools

Love has flooded my heart and there's
Rain in venice for the first time
Love has flooded my heart and there's
Rain in venice for the first time

I'm moving in shadow, just another episode of boy
Loses girl
But that's a cold-hearted epitah
Of a story i refuse to tell
I'll keep trying, i'll keep on sending you private signs
I'll keep trying, i'll keep on giving you, giving you,
Giving all my news - to you

Love has flooded my heart and there's
Rain in venice for the first time
Love has flooded my heart and there's
Rain in venice for the first time


5.The Alibi

Flicking through her horoscope
She's entranced by the message
Moved like an innocent child
She's not content to sell her dream
In a picture-frame of dispair
Looking for an alibi
She can depend on the rebel
To rise from the ashes and fly
Sensing that there's something wrong
She's in tune with the song of adventure
Rebel gives the alibi to a lonely girl
From high society
Victim of a color-packed magazine

Ringing out the chimes of dawn
Sensing that there's something wrong
So she's gonna fly, scheming for an alibi
Ringing out the chimes of dawn
Sensing that the chance has gone
So she's gonna fly, gotta run and hide
Gotta camouflage the story of the alibi

Tapping into real affection
Is hard for the lady
Lost on the innocent child
Looking for an alibi
She's immune to the moral conventions
Rebel gives the alibi to a lonely girl
From high society
Victim of a color-packed magazine

Ringing out the chimes of dawn
Sensing that there's something wrong
So she's gonna fly, scheming for an alibi
Ringing out the chimes of dawn
Sensing that the chance has gone
So she's gonna fly, gotta run and hide
Gotta camouflage the story of the alibi

6.New-fashioned Way

Roll away the stone, let me breathe again
She waves her hand with a touch of style
He can't believe it's about to end
Ah, but she knows the words of the night
Are a promisese on trial
She say's she's never been alone, that she's
Never had a lover's kiss
Stand up and give account of yourself,
He tells her
Nothing's gonna come of this
They're talking in the dark
They're kissing by the light of the moon
They're loving in the new-fashioned way

From the begining all she wanted was a boy to trust
She danced alone with a hungry heart
She played around like she thought she must
But soon her hero was ther so her life could start
Virgin hopes begin to fit in place
This is everything they've waited for
Nobody's gonna say a word outta place
This is magic through an open door
They're talking in the dark
They're kissing by the light of the moon
They're loving in the new-fashioned way


7.Promises

True romance in the dead ot'f the night
The breeze in the air, it almost glistens
And the earth is a glorious sight
When nobody speaks and nobody listens
You're gonna have a night to remember
You're gonna be real, live, hot contender

Sleeptalking in the dead of the nigth
Cold coffee in the china
Friends talking in the dead of the night
Promises, it's always the way
Promises, it's always the way

Running off by the light of the moon
The hand on your heart is almost hidden
You try from your favourite room
To get at the truth but it's forbidden
You've never been a shoulder to cry on
The lover's pledge is not to be relied on

Sleeptalking in the dead of the nigth
Cold coffee in the china
Friends talking in the dead of the night
Promises, it's always the way
Promises, it's always the way

Old friends in a sepia frame
The proud photograph, the truth it measures
Is why in humanity's name
You take from the wounded personal treasures
You've never been a frien to depend on
You've never understood my view of heaven

Sleeptalking in the dead of the nigth
Cold coffee in the china
Friends talking in the dead of the night
Promises, it's always the way
Promises, it's always the way

Repeat first verse


8.Dancing On The Telephone

When you call me,i dance on the telephone
When i'm waiting, i gnaw my fingers to the bone
When it's raining, it's always raining on my heart
But when you call me it don't seem to matter that
The car won't start and the roof's started leaking
Some business set's it on fire
When we're in touch with each other
There's a cool exchange, touch me and believe it

Operator, high anticipation
Cool exchange, in a boys imagination
Ooh, ooh, i'm dancing on the telephone
Operator, high anticipation
Cool exchange, in a boys imagination
Ooh, ooh, i'm dancing on the telephone

When you call me, i fall for the party line
Could be in mensa with an iq of under thirty-nine
Ah, now we're talking
Some girls are fond of deceiving
You got my whole heart believing
When you're in touch with each other
There's a cool exchange, touch me and believe it

Operator, high anticipation
Cool exchange, in a boys imagination
Ooh, ooh, i'm dancing on the telephone
Operator, high anticipation
Cool exchange, in a boys imagination
Ooh, ooh, i'm dancing on the telephone


9.Fire In The Night

Standing in line
In the shadow of the twin-spired cathedral
Waiting for the woman who feeds
All the united people
There's no need to hurry, now
As you turn on the light
No need to worry, now
There's a time for the cross to expire
Like a fire in the night

Waiting in line
For the coming of the great lord redeemer
Hoping that his heavenly alms
Can reveal the great healer
There's no need to hurry, now
As you turn on the light
No need to worry, now
There's a time for the cross to expire
Like a fire in the night

No need to hurry, now
As you turn on the light
No need to worry, now
This is time for cross to expire
Like a fire in the night
Like a fire in the night
Yeah ! fire in the night
Like a fire in the night


10.Irresistible

I wish you could be be here, i'm sending you my best
It's easy to reach here, no geography test
And here's a confession, i'm willing to contest
The truth i heard since i was small
I'm having a good time, we're doing all twice
I'm happy to be here, we're learning to survive
I'm easing my conscience by putting it on ice
It's so warm, so warm, so warm and getting warmer

One thing i know
Truth can be irresistible
One thing i know
Truth is the key, how can it be so irresistible?

It's lovely to be here, the people are so kind
I'm talking to soldiers, they're picketing my mind
I'd rather be simple and think like a child
I don't read the papers, i take as i find
They're building a new town, there's rubble in the streets
The children are playing, there's no trick and no treats
There's smoke in the sunshine, this is paradise in heat
It's so warm, so warm, so warm and getting warmer

One thing i know
Truth can be irresistible
One thing i know
Truth is the key, how can it be so irresistible?

I'm going to rest now, the thunder has died down
I'm looking for peace now, i've had it with this town
We're learning to handle a weapon we found
It's so warm, so warm, so warm and getting warmer

One thing i know
Truth can be irresistible
One thing i know
Truth is the key, how can it be so irresistible?
