1.Caroline

( rossi / young )

If you want to turn me onto
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love sweet love

If the night-time is the right time
Anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love sweet love

Come on sweet caroline
You're my sweet caroline
You know i want to take you
I've really got to make you
Come on sweet caroline
Take my hand together we can rock-n-roll

When i'm thinking of you sleeping
I'm at home alone and weeping
Are you keeping your love sweet love

Do you still care when i'm not there
Do you really wish i was there
Can i come there for love sweet love

Come on sweet caroline
You're my sweet caroline
You know i want to take you
I've really got to make you
Come on sweet caroline
Take my hand together we can rock-n-roll


2.Dear John

( gustafson / macauley )

Everybody was talking to me
Like i was a child
In their words i could hear them saying
It's just a matter of time
Anyway it's a long long race been run
Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung

Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away

Vanity is hard old lady
You can't read her mind
I'm a fool but i don't fool easy
While you're foolin' around
Anyway i can hold my own tonight
I admit i was wrong and you where right

Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away

Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away

Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away

Everybody was talking to me
Like i was a child
In their words i could hear them saying
It's just a matter of time
Anyway it's a long long race been run
Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung

Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away

Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away

Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes..


3.Don't Drive My Car

( parfitt / bown )

Ah ah ah ah, don't drive my car
I'm just a boy, my favourite toy
And i'm telling you woman
Don't push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car

Ah ah ah ah, don't drive my car
Stay where you are, stay where you are
'cos i'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car

And i'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car

And i'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car


4.Going Down Town Tonight

( johnson )

I'm going down town tonight, i'm gonna find myself a dream
I'm gonna dress up right, and be the best they've ever seen
You can tell from their eyes, you can tell from their eyes
That they're never impressed, that they're never impressed
From the way they walk round, from the way they walk round
They are used to the best, they are used to the best

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Why let them break you in with self-sophisticated praise
'cos when the cards are low you see the smile come on their face
If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words
They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say
They will take your attention, just take your attention
And then turn away, and then turn away

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Just one thing before you go my ladies of the night
Just one thing i have to say i've got you, and you're
Confident and debonair you move between the stars
Hungry for those staring eyes that fill your waking hours

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Your face is all run dry with all the echoes of the night
And so i'm home alone, i wash my head and hold on tight
If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words
They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say
They will take your attention, just take your attention
And then turn away, and then turn away

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight


5.Lies

( rossi / frost )

I had another drink after another drink and then i tried to
crawl to the door
I had another smoke after another joke and then i couldn't take
any more
It didn't change a thing, not any single thing, when someone
tried to tell me for sure
I heard another voice that said i wasn't in a dream
I read a word or two about everything
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes they won't go away
And the times that i tried are the times that i find they don't
show today
But you make me feel so good

I woke up after four, still lying on the floor, and waiting to
be carried away
I woke up once again, a little after ten, will things be any
better today
It doesn't change you see, it only changes me, well someone
tried to tell me i'm sure
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that i tried, are the times that i find they don't
show today
But you make me feel so good

I'm going back to school, i'm gonna check the rule, and see if i
get carried away
I'm going back again, i'm gonna try again, don't listen what the
people might say
It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing, well someone
tried to tell me for sure
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that i tried, are the times that i find they don't
show today
But you make me feel so good

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that i tried, are the times that i find they don't
show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that i tried, are the times that i find they don't
show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that i tried, are the times that i find they don't
show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away


6.Marguerita Time

( rossi / frost )

Captured my heart
Captured my memory
Captured a time for me
I could see
A time for me
Is gonna be

Deep in my heart
Deep in my memory
Deep in a part of me
Heart of me
Meant to be history
Could it be that i'm still wondering

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That i could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Picture a dream
Picture a fantasy
Picture a mood of me
Mystery you and me a mystery

Lost in a dream
Lost in a fantasy
Lost in what seemed to be
Dreams to be
Seemed to be
Had to be
Couldn't find no other reason

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That i could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Lets have a drink
It's marguerita time
It's marguerita time
After nine
Summer time
Any time
You'll still always find me wondering

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That i could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you


7.Mess Of The Blues


8.Ol' Rag Blues

( lancaster / lamb )

When you look into a mirror tell me what do you see?
Is it pictures of lily crying, you know what i mean?
I've been livin' high, i've been livin' low
Like a bird in the sky this is the way to go

What you gonna do with those faded blues you wear?
What you gonna do with those ol' rag blues?
What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear?
Ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues

Did you think it was forever? well now you know
The summer sun keeps shining, shine through the blue
I've been livin' high, i've been livin' low
Never give up tryin', oh no, no, no

What you gonna do with those faded blues you wear?
What you gonna do with those ol' rag blues?
What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear?
Ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues

I can hear you callin' somewhere in the blue
Can you hear me callin' for you? for you?

What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear?
Ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues


9.Rock 'n' Roll


10.Something 'bout You Baby I Like

( supa )

I see you every day
Walking down the avenue
I'd like to get to know you
But all i do is smile at you
Oh baby when it comes to talking
My tongue get so thight
This sidewalk love affair
Has got me high as a kite
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby i like

Well i'm a slow walker
But girl i'd race a mile for you
Just to get back in time
For my peek-a-boo rendezvous
Well baby maby it's the way
You wear you're blue jeans so tight
I can't put my finger
On what you're doing right
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby i like

Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby i like

Well i'm standing on a corner
Smiling by a telephone
I'd like to check you over
Get to know you with a fine tooth comb
Oh baby when i get home, i turn out the light
And then you come a strolling through
My dreams every night
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby i like
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby i like


11.The Wanderer

i'm the type of guy who never settles down
Where pretty girls are, you'll know that i'm around
I kiss 'em and i love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and i squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer, yeah, wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round

There's flo on my left and there's mary on my right
And janie is the girl
That'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one i love the best
I tear open my shirt and show
Rosie on my chest

'cause i'm the wanderer, yeah, wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round

(bridge)
Well, i roam from town to town
Live life without a care
I'm as happy as a clown
With my 2 fists of iron but i'm goin' nowhere

I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place;
I roam from town to town
And when i find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
'cause i'm the wanderer, yeah, wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round


12.What You're Proposin'

( rossi / frost )

It sounds so nice, what you're proposin'
Just once or twice, and not disclosin'
And not disclosin' how we're really really feelin'

What you're proposin' the other night
As i was leavin', i looks left and right
And not believin'
And not believin' that i'd finally be leavin'

What you're proposin', now get it right
If i'm composin', but then i might
Be runny nosin'
I might be runny runny runny runny nosin'
But you're supposin'

Don't be so sure, and just supposin'
We yell for more, and compromisin'
And compromisin' leads to really really feelin'

And just supposin', don't get me wrong
I'm only dreamin', it can't be long
I must be dreamin'
I must be dreamin', dreamin', only only dreamin'
Am i just supposin'

It sounds so nice, what you're proposin'
Just once or twice, and not disclosin'
And not disclosin' how we're really really feelin'

What you're proposin' the other night
As i was leavin', i looks left and right
And not believin'
And not believin' that i'd finally be leavin'
What you're proposin'
And not believin' that i'd finally be leavin'
What you're proposin'
What you're proposin'
What you're proposin'
