1. So Alone Together
I've been looking 'round and this is what I found
there's not one of us
who wants to be somebody else
we would trade places, even trade faces
but when it comes to the heart
we manna stay true to ourselves
There's not one of us like the rest of us
There's no two of us alike
and that will never change
all of us know it and non of us show it
but when it's down to the heart
I guess all of us are the same
All of us cry, all of no try to find someone
whose love will last forever
all of us know, all of us are on our own
it’s up to us, to make ourselves feel better
all of us so alone together
If it were not for you,I don't know what I'd do
and I just hope we go to heaven when we're gone
I've heard it's nice up there
you just sort of walk on air
and the best part's knowing
nobody ever has to walk alone
Repeat chorus
2. A Whiter Shade Of Pale
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor
I was felling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned A Whiter Shade Of Pale
She said,"There 's no reason
And the truth is plain to see,"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned A Whiter Shade Of Pale
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her fare at first just ghostly
Turned A Whiter Shade Of Pale
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned A Whiter Shade Of Pale
3. Unholy Love
You make it so easy
When you're making it rough
You won't make no promises
But you can't get enough
I feel like I'm standing
In the headlight beam
You come on like thunder
I know what this means
It's unholy love
Oh can't you see
This unholy love
You know is killing me - oh!
The sting of confusion
Then a kiss from your lips
You don't make it painless
And you don't make it quick - yeah!
I hold on forever
Till I feel the sweet rush start
Then you're holding me closer
While you're breaking my heart
It's unholy love
Baby can't you see
It's unholy love
So good it's killing me
It's unholy love
Oh can't you see
This unholy love
You know is killing me - oh
I feel like I'm standing
In the headlight beam - oh
You come on like thunder
I know what this means
It's unholy love - yeah
This unholy love
You know is killing me - oh
Baby can't you see
This unholy love
Is, said is killing me - oh
4. Fall For Me Again
All our friends been acting strange
Sunshine smiles - even when it rains
And they pretend that they don't see
The trouble with you and me
But they know you're about to leave
And even you have played a part
Of someone who is still true at heart
Do you think that I don't know
Your love for me turned cold?
How sad to see you go..
But I'm hoping that you'll fall in love again
And never look back on what might have been
I pray that we will stay the best of friends
And in my heart I hope that you will fall for me again
But don't say there is no way
The things you loved before, haven't changed
Well I could find somebody new
Who wouldn't tear my heart in two
But I'd never get over you - oh no
So I'm hoping that you'll fall in love again
And never look back on what might have been
I pray that we will stay the best of friends
And in my heart I hope that you will fall for me again
Oh in my heart I hope that you will fall for me again
I'm hoping that you'll fall for me again
I hope that you'll fall for me again
Hope that you'll fall for me again
I hope that you'll fall for me again
Hope that you'll fall for me again
I hope that you'll fall for me again
I hope that you'll fall for me again
Hope that you'll fall for me again
5. Angels With Dirty Faces
See my soul as desire
Catch the words as they fall from my lips
Feel the passion grow higher
Lick the sweat from my fingertips
Be my love
Beware my love is strange
Be my love
Beware the time can change
See my scars heat the hunter
Catch the thoughts as they rare with the wind
Hear my heart beat like thunder
Free yourself let the madness begin
Be my love
Beware my love is strange
Be my love
Beware the time can change
We're Angels With Dirty Faces
Livin' all alone
Angels With Dirty Faces
So far from home
Our dirty minds go on and on
Our fear of night is long gone
We're Angels With Dirty Faces
So far from home
Touch my skin
It's on fire
Light your dreams with the heat of the sun
Let your passions expire
Burn it up tll there's nowhere to run
Be my love
Beware my love is strange
Be my love
Beware the time can change
We're Angels With Dirty Faces
Livin' all alone
Angels With Dirty Faces
So far from home
Our dirty minds go on and on
Our fear of night is long gone

6. Alive
All alone, and night is falling
All along, I hear you calling
Telling lies, and sad goodbyes
The secrets will be safe inside of me
As long as I'm alive
You'll always be a part of me
As long as I'm alive
As long as I'm alive
For you I'll always keep the fire burning
Inside
I will keep this love alive
Let our souls be the first me satisfy
I will keep this love alive
Oh let our hearts be the only guide we follow
Everybody knows, you can't build a wall around us
I believe, time will tell
Our hearts will stay forever locked together
As long as I'm alive
For you I'll always keep the fire burning
Inside
Ahohoh I will keep this love alive
Let our souls be the first we satisfy
I will keep this love alive - ohohoh
Let our hearts be the only guide we follow
As long as I'm alive
As long as I'm alive
For you I'll always keep the fire burning
Inside
Ohoh I will keep this love alive
Let our souls be the first we satisfy!
I will keep this love alive - ahahohohoh
Let our hearts be the only guide we follow
As long as I'm alive - yeah! (ahah)

7. You Gonna Break My Heart
Free as the breeze
You do as you please
And it's driving me crazy
But no, I don't mind
Somehow you're my kind
You intrigue and amaze me
I should turn around
Walk out right now
But I guess I'll stay
'Cause there's something about you
I just can't say no to
But - that's okay
You gonna break my heart
You gonna break my heart
You gonna break my heart again
What is it that you've got
Oh I can't get enough
Come on - break my heart again
Last time I saw you
You swore that you loved me
And you'd never leave
And now here you are
Saying you will
Make it up to me
Oh what should I do
Call me a fool
Either way I go
Yeah I'm out of my mind
But that's all right
I want you so
You gonna break my heart
You gonna break my heart
You gonna break my heart again
What is it that you've got
Oh I can't get enough
Come on - break my heart again
Break my heart - in the morning
Break my heart - in the night time
Break my heart - any time you want
You gonna break my heart
You gonna break my heart
You gonna break my heart again
What is it that you've got
Oh no, I can't get enough
Come on - break my heart again
You gonna break my heart
You gonna break my heart
You gonna break my heart again
What is it that you've got
Oh no, I can't get enough
Come on - break my heart again
8. With The Wave Of Your Hand
I have been waiting here
Feels like a million years
Sometimes I disappear
Into the blue
Lost in the city lights
I can stay out all night
But it's such a lonely life
And nothing, nothing seems right
But with the wave of your hand
Everything changes
With the wave of your hand
I feel your magic on me
And I have the spark
And I have desire
And I'm drawn to the fire
With the wave of your hand
With the wave of your hand
I'll never know what you'll find
Whenever you read my mind
It's just like I'm hypnotized
And then I come alive
You put a spell on me
That's right where I wanna be
And there's no mystery
Because I believe
With the wave of your hand
Everything changes
With the wave of your hand
I feel your magic on me
And I have the spark of love
And I have desire
And I'm drawn to the fire
With the wave of your hand
And I have the spark of love
And I have desire
And I'm drawn to the fire
With the wave of your hand
Everything changes
With the wave of your hand
I feel your magic on me
And I have the spark of love
Yeah I have desire
And I'm drawn to the fire
With the wave of your hand
With the wave of your hand
With the wave of your hand
With the wave of your hand
With the wave of your hand
9. Gettin' Nowhere Without You
There is a statue - out on an island
Lady Freedom's got nothing much to do
Just stands alone, her face set in stone
It reminds me of me... without you
And in case you didn't get my letter
I ain't been making any head-line news
I just walk around and wish we were together
I'm gettin' nowhere without you
Millions of people... I'm that much more lonely
I'm seeing you - in every single face
My mind's insane, my heart's in pain
Without you here I feel so out of place
And if it makes you feel any better
I ain't been doing things we used to do
I just walk around and wish we were together
I'm gettin' nowhere without you - oh no!
Too late to explain - why I came here
It was just something that I had to do
But take it from me - you're all I need
'Cause I'm still in love with you
And if it makes you feel any better
I ain't been making any head-line news
I just walk around and wish we were together
I'm gettin' nowhere without you
Oh I wish we were together
I'm gettin' nowhere without you
I wish we were together - oh
I'm gettin' nowhere without you
10. Even Angels Cry
I felt so blue - the sky was so grey
It was pouring down - I went walking anyway
A ragged old man came right up to me
He said: "I'm half blind - but there's things I see
And things I believe" - He said:
"Even angels cry
If you don't believe my words
Just look up at the sky
Do you really think it's rain?
It's nothing more than heaven's pain
Even angels cry
Even angels cry"
I said: "Man, what makes you so smart?"
He said: "Have you ever heard of a broken heart?
Since she left me, I've been sad as you
But she let's me know she misses me too
I know that it's true
Even angels cry
If you don't believe my words
Just look up at the sky
Do you really think it's rain?
It's nothing more than heaven's pain
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
I really do believe that love's forever
When it takes a hold of you, it won't let you go
And it can pull a broken heart together
And just in case you're troubled, I want you to know
Even angels cry
If you don't believe my words
Just look up at the sky
Do you really think it's rain?
It's nothing more than heaven's pain
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
11. Save My Soul
I was tempted
Like a desperate child
Sent out in the world to taste it
It was colder than steel
Frozen in fields
Emptied by the turning of pages
Falling like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on hold on
Love,will save my soul someday
Love,will save my soul someday
Take me away
Take' me so far away
Love will save my soul someday
I was trusted like a heart of gold
Walked out on this earth to make it
Yea,I’m batter than bad
Stronger than sad
Harder than the tock of ages
Fallin' like stones
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, hold on
Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday
Take me away
Take me so far away
Love, will save my soul someday
-SOLO-
Fallin' like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, hold on
Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday
Take me away
Take me so far away
Love, will save my soul
Love, will save my soul
Love, will save my soul
12. I'll Be Holding On
I have lived my life my way
For tonight and for today
Just the strongest hearts, they say
Always survive
And I'm fallin' through the years
All these dreams disappear
And the night is full of tears
I'll be holding on
Now this life is etched in black
And I won't be looking back
The rain washed away the tracks
I'll never find again
I'm still reachin' for the light
I'm still usin' up the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holding on
When I stand alone
I don't need no memories
All the rest are gone
I'll be holding on
I know how it is
I don't steal no memories
Of all the ones you know
I'll be holding on
And my life is made of sand
It flows right through my hand
Each day I make a stand
And I see it through
I've been reachin' for the light
I've been usin' up the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holding on
When I stand alone
I don't need no memories
Of all the ones you know
I'l be holding on
When I stand alone
I don't need no memories
When all the rest are gone
I'll be holding on
When I stand alone
I don't need no memories
When all the rest are gone
I'll be holding on
I know how it is
I know how it will be
All the rest are gone
But I'll be holding on
13. Hard Times
Hard Times
It's too real to be really right
It's so real it kept me up all night
A broken promise on the street of dreams
Left us here all down on our knees
With one shot
And one bite
the walls collapsed with a terrible fright
Minute by minute
day by day
I feel this place is cromblin' away
Hard Times
We gotta break through these
Hard Times yea!
Hard Times
change the face of these
HardTimes yea!
ev'rybody,ev'rywhere
It's easy talkin' when you're talkin' cheep
It's harder walkin' when you're in this deep
There's too much pressure
and there's too much pain
too many people bein' driven insane
With one shot
And one bite
the world could change from dark to light
Station to Nation
Face to face
There must he someway to save this place
Hard Times
We gotta break through these
Hard Times yea!
Hard Times
change the face of these
Hard Times yea!
ev'rybody,ev'rywhere
Now fair is fair
hope needs'a lot of care
it's time we all understand
the powers in our hands
Hard Times
Hard Times yea!
Hard Times
Hard Times
Hard Times
We gotta break through these
Hard Times yea!
Hard Times
change the face of these
Hard Times yea!
HardTimes
HardTimes
Hard Times yea!
Hard Times
Hard Times
Hard Times yea!
14. I Am What I Am
Some choose to remember
Some choose to forget
Some fall to pieces
when they lose their heads
I choose to get lucky
Don't choose to regret
I'll take my chances
Only i know best
When it all gets down to me
When it all gets down to me
('Cause) l Am,What l Am
and no one's gonna tell me where or when
'CauseI Am,What I Am
and no one's gonna break me down again
I hate to be lonely
I can't pretend
Don't need no phonies
tryin' to be my friends
Don't care about danger
lean take the fall
Everyone’s a stranger
'till just one stands tall
And it all comes down on me
When it all comes down tome
('Cause) I Am, What I Am
and nobody's gonna tell me where or when
'Cause I Am, What I Am
nothin's gonna break me down again
I can hear the devil callin', callin'
I can hear him callin' me
But I don't do nothin'
I don't believe
-SOLO-
When it all comes down to me
When it all gets down to me
('Cause) I Am, What I Am
and nobody's gonna tell me where or when
'Cause I Am, What I Am
nothin's gonna break me down again
nothin's gonna break me down - again
15. Don't Go
I feel my days
are running away like rain
I'm trying to hold on
even though it's in vain
off and on
every day we change
all and all
love and pain remains
I wish I could exist
without your love
I wish I wouldn't be
dependent on
don't lie to me
to make it all alright
when your eyes
are telling me good-bye
Don't go
You're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you so
Don't go
you're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you more than you know
Don't go
I know the way you feel
won’t stay the same
I wish that I could rise
above the pain
on an on
I'll take it day by day
all and all
I'll make it through the rain
Don't go
You're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you so
Don't go
you're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you more than you know
you're breaking my heart
Don't go
you tear me apart
Don't go
you 're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you more than you know
When you look into my eyes
can you see the fear I'm holding back
I don't want to let it out cause this
fear is keeping me on track
I just got to let you know
I don't want to see you go away
I won't change
love and pain remains
Repeal chorus
16. Cry Wolf
We all learn the hard way
Like a ride on the rain
We like to keep the secrets
Tied and chained
Out there on the dark side
I can hear you call
It’s so hard to believe you
I can't run no more
The last time you led 'em all astrey
But this time you gave yourself away
So Cry Wolf
and tell me it's for real
Cry Wolf
Since no one knows the way you feel
Cry Wolf
Your tears are never real
And no one comes to hear
When you Cry Wolf
We all feel the fences
Standing wide and tall
Wrapped around our senses
Made to fall
Outside in the real world
Deep inside your mind
Lies a lost deceiver
I won't wait in line
The last time you led 'em all astrey
But this time you gave yourself away
So Cry Wolf
and tell me it's for real
Cry Wolf
Since no one knows the way you feel
Cry Wolf
Your tears are never real
And no one comes to hear
When you Cry Wolf
So Cry Wolf
Cry
Cry Wolf
Cry
Cry yea!
Cry yea!
-SOLO-
So Cry
Cry WoIf
And tell me it's for real
Cry Wolf
No one knows the way you feel
Cry Wolf
Your tears are never real
And no one comes to hear
When you Cry Wolf
Cry WoIf
Cry Wolf
Cry Wolf
Cry
Cry Wolf
Cry
Cry Wolf
Cry
Cry Wolf
17. River Of Tears
Livin' and dreamin'
in aworld full of fear
Playin' with feelings
that carried' me here
today
Lost in the memories
of days gone by
Runnin' on empty
and the wells run dry
today
it's so far away
that I could fade away
(But) I’ll Fly
Cross this river of tears
and I’ll Fly
Cross this river of tears
'cause a lonely heart could die alone
in this river of tears
I could hear thunder, but l couldn’t feel the rain
l fell down under, this dangerous game
we play
it's so far sway
that l could fade away
(But) I’ll Fly
Cross this river of tears
and I’ll Fly
Cross this river of tears
'cause a lonely heart could die alone
in this river of tears
-SOLO-
So I could fade away
(But) I’ll Fly
Cross this river of tears
and I’ll Fly
Cross this river of tears
'cause a lonely heart could die alone
'cause a lonely heart could die alone
in this river of tears
in this river of tears
I'll fly
I’ll fly
I'll fly
I'll fly
cross this river of tears
I'll fly
I’ll fly...
18. Mirage
Every time I see your face
I see the light
Every time I call your name
I know it ain't right
I'm on the run again
Don't know if I could ever make you see
Maybe I feel no pain
But I need you to keep me company
All through the night - ahohoh
You're all I need, through the night
Oh I can't believe it
You're just a mirage
Must be dreamin'
I can't get you out of my mind
I begin and end my nights with you
I'm under your spell
You bare my flesh, you strip my soul
Maybe you can tell
I hear your voice, I see your face
But I need you to keep me company
All through the night - ohohoh
I dream of lovin' you, through the night
Don't know what to do
I'm dreamin' of you
I'm thinkin' of you
You're just a mirage
Can't stop dreamin'
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't believe it
You're just a mirage
Must be dreamin'
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't believe it
You're just a mirage
Must be dreamin'
I can't get you out of my mind
I must be dreamin'
I must be dreamin' - oh!
I can't believe it
This must be a mirage!
