2: Lover Boy

Lyrics:

I'll tell you from the start He's gonna break your heart You can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy He's gonna tell you lies But you won't realize Because you can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy He's got a thing in his head It's from a book he's read It's got a funny title It tells you how to be vital He took a lot of time Over every line Because it's guaranteed To satisfy He's gonna knock 'em dead The boy's got that book read You can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy Right from the clothes he wears The way he combs his hair You can't stop him now because he knows all the tricks He used to have a problem but he got it fixed (Got it fixed) He took a small apartment Above a shoe department And he could see from his window All the lights in the street glow And there's a club on the corner And tonight he will go there To find a new affair So all you ladies beware Naa naaaaa na-na na-naaaaaaaa Naa naaaaa na-na na-naaa Na-na na-naaa na-na na-naaaaaaaa...

3: Even In The Quietest Moments

Lyrics:

Even in the quietest moments I wish I knew What I had to do And even though the sun is shining Well I feel the rain -- here it comes again, dear And even when you showed me My heart was out of tune For there's a shadow of doubt That's not letting me find you too soon The music that you gave me The language of my soul Oh Lord, I want to be with you Won't you let me come in from the cold? Don't you let the sun fade away Don't you let the sun fade away Don't you let the sun be leaving Won't you come to me soon? And even though the stars are listening And the ocean's deep I just go to sleep And then I create a silent movie You become the star Is that what you are, dear? Your whisper tells a secret Your laughter brings me joy And a wonder of feeling I'm nature's own little boy But still the tears keep falling They're raining from the sky Well there's a lot of me got To go under before I get high Don't you let the sun disappear Don't you let the sun disappear Don't you let the sun be leaving No, you can't be leaving my life Say that you won't be leaving my life Say that you won't be leaving my life Say won't you please, stay won't you please Say won't you please, stay won't you please Lord, won't you come and get into my life Lord, won't you come and get into my life Say won't you please, stay won't you please Stay won't you please, say won't you please Oh Lord, don't go Won't you come to me? And even when the song is over Where have I been -- was it just a dream? And though your door is always open Where do I begin -- may I please come in, dear?

4: Asylum

Lyrics:

Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was always winnin' I can't keep tabs on mine, it's really quite a joke I see him down the road, I asked if he'd be willing To lend me 15p, I'm dying for a smoke Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum I'm just as sane as anyone It's just a game I play for fun, for fun I told 'em, "Look!" I said, "I'm not the way you're thinkin' Just when I'm down, I'll be the clown, I'll play the fool Please don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum I'm just as sane as anyone It's just a game I play for fun, for fun" (Is it really?) Will he take a sailboat ride? Well, he is very likely to Will he feel good inside? Well, he ain't very likely to Oh, will he tell you he's alive? Yeah, he is always tryin' to Yeah, but nothin', no, no, nothin' Does he say, oh no In the morning, when the day's begun "Hello, good morning, how are you?" And in the evening, or the noonday sun "Oh, what a lovely afternoon" Well, I've been living next to you Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here Yeah, when they haunt me and they taunt me In my cage, oh, in my cage I mock 'em all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer Yeah, they're playin' dumb, but I'm just laughin' as they rage Don't arrange to have me s-sent to no asylum Well, it's only a game I'm playin' for fun Yeah, I've been tryin' to fool everyone (Oh, but they still taunt me) (Oh, is it really?) (No, that's too heavy) Will he take a sailboat ride? Well, he is very likely to Will he feel good inside? Yeah, he ain't ever likely to Oh, will he tell you he's alive? Well, he is always trying to Yeah, but nothin', no, no, nothin' Does he ever say, yeah In the morning, when the day's begun "Well, do you think it looks like rain?" And in the evening, or the noonday sun "You know, I nearly missed my train" Well, I've been living next to you my friend But what kind of friend are you? Oh, is it the beginning or the sorry end? Will I ever see it through? Now, I've never been insane Oh, what's the game? Yeah, I believe I'm dying Aaaahhhh! He's mad, mad Mad, mad, mad, mad Mad, mad, mad, mad! Not quite right! (Not quite right) Woooooooo!

5: Dreamer

Lyrics:

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no! I said, dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no! I said, "far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!" You know, well, you know you had it comin' to you Now there's not a lot I can do Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer So, now you put your head in your hands, oh no! Woo! I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a life it is!" You know, well, you know you had it comin' to you Now there's not a lot I can do Well, work it out someday If I could see something You can see anything you want, boy If I could be someone You can be anyone, celebrate, boy Well, if I could do something You can do something If I could do anything Can you do something out of this world? Take a dream on a Sunday Take a life, take a holiday Take a lie, take a dreamer Dream, dream, dream, dream Dream along Dreamer, come on and dream and dream along Come on and dream and dream along (a little) Dreamer, come on and dream and dream along Come on and dream and dream along Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no! I said, dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no! Oh no!

6: Rudy

Lyrics:

Rudy's on a train to nowhere; Halfway down the line He don't wanna get there But he needs time He ain't sophisticated Or well-educated After all the hours he's wasted Still he needs time He needs time He needs time for livin' He needs time For someone just to see him He ain't had no lovin' For no reason or rhyme And the whole world's above him Well, it's not as though he's fat Nah, there's more to it than that See he tried to play it cool; Wouldn't be nobody's fool Rudy thought That all good things Comes to those that wait But recently He could see That it may come but too late All through your life All through the years Nobody loved Nobody cared So dim the light Dark are your fears Try as I might I can't hold back the tears How can you live? Without love, it's not fair Someone said give But I just didn't dare What good advice Are you waiting to hear? Hearing's alright For them that's all there Hearing's alright You'd better- You'd better gain control now You'd better show 'em all now You'd better make or break now You'd better give and take now You'll have to push and shove now You'll have to find some love now You'd better gain control now Now he's just come out the movie Numb of all the pain Sad, but in a while he'll soon be Back on his train

7: If Everyone Was Listening

Lyrics:

The actors and jesters are here The stage is in darkness and clear For raising the curtain And no-one's quite certain whose play it How long ago, how long? If only we had listened then If we'd known just how right We were going to be For we dreamed a lot And we schemed a lot And we tried to sing of love Before the stage fell apart If everyone was listening, you know There'd be a chance that we could save the show Who'll be the last clown To bring the house down? Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall Well, what is your costume today? And who are the props in your play? You're acting a part which you thought from the start Was an honest one Well how do you plead? An actor indeed! Go re-learn your lines You don't know what you've done The finale's begun If everyone was listening, you know There'd be a chance that we could save the show Who'll be the last clown To bring the house down? Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall

8: Crime Of The Century

Lyrics:

Now they're planning the crime of the century Well what would it be? Read all about their schemes and adventuring Yes it's well worth the fee So roll up and see As they rape the universe How they've gone from bad to worse Who are these men of lust, greed and glory? Rip off the masks and let's see But that's not right - oh no, what's the story? Look! There's you and there's me (That can't be right...)
