On a dark
desert highway
cool wind in my hair
warm smell of colitas
rising up
through the air
Up ahead
in the distance
I saw a
suimmering light
My head grew heavy and
my sight grew dim
I had to stop
for the night
These she stood
in the doorway
I heard the
mission bell
He said And
I was thinking
to myself
this could be heaven
and this could be hell
Then she lit up
a candle and she
showed me the way
There were voices down
the corridor
I thought
I heard them say
Welcome to the
Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(such a lovely place)
such a lovely face
plenty of room at the
Hotel California
Any time of year
(any time of year)
you can find it here
Her mind is
Tiffany twisted
She got
the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of
pretty pretty boys
that she calls friends
How they dance
in the courtyard
sweet summer sweet
Some dance to remember
some dance to forget
So I called up
the captain
Please bring me
my wine
He said
We haven't had that
spirit here since
nineteen sixty nine
and still those voices
are calling
from far away
wake you up
in the middle
of the night
just to here them say
Welcome to the
Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(such a lovely place)
such a lovely face
They living it up
at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
(what a nice surprise)
bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
the pink champagne
on ice
and she said
We are all just
prisoners here
of our own device
And in the
master's chambers
they gathered
for the feast
They stab it with their
steely knives
but they just can't
kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running
for the door
I had to find
the passage back
to the place
I was before
Relax said
the night man
We are programmed
to receive
You can check out
any time
you like
but you can
never leave-

Hey Jude don't
make it bad
Take a sad song
and make it better
Remember to let
her into your heart
Then your car start
to make it better
Hey Jude don't
be afraid
You were made to
go out and get her
The minute you
let her under your
skin Then you begin
to make it better
And any time you feel
the pain
Hey Jude refrain
don't carry the world
upon your shoulders
For well you know that
it's a fool
who plays it cool
By making his world
a little the colder
Da da da da da da
da da da
Hey Jude don't let
me down
You have found her
now go and get her
Remember to let her
into your heart
Then you can start
to make it better
So let it out and
let it in
Hey Jude begin you're
waiting for someone
to perform with
And don't you know
that it's just you
Hey Jude You'll do
the movement you need
is on your shoulder
Da da da da da da

Hey Jude don't make it
bad Take a sad song
and make it better
Remember to let her
under your skin
Then you'll begin
to make it better
better better better

Hey Jude.

It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's an old man
sitting next to me
Making love
to his tonic and gin

He says son can you
play me a memory
I'm not really sure
how it goes
But it's sad
and it's sweet
And I knew it
complete
When I wore
a younger man's
Clothes na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

Now John at the bar
is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks
for free
And he's quick
with a joke
Or to light up
your smoke
But there's someplace
that he'd rather be
He says Bill I believe
this is killing me
As the smile ran away
from his face
Well I'm sure that
I could be
A movie star
if I could get out
Of this place na--
na--- na- na-- na-
Now Paul is
a real estate novelist
Who never had time
for a wife
And he's talking
with Davy
Who's still
in the navy
And probably
will be for life

And the waitress is
practicing politics
As the businessmen
slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing
a drink
They call
loneliness
But it's better than
drinking alone

Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

It's a pretty good
crowd for a Saturday
And the manager
give me a smile
'Cause he knows
that it's me
They've been coming
to see
To forget about
life for a while
And the piano
it sounds
Like a carnival
and the microphone
Smells like a beer and
they sit at the bar
And put bread
in my jar
And say man what
are you doing here
Oh- na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

This is gonna
hurt
But I blame myself
first
'Cause I ignored
the truth
Drunk off of that love
my head up
There's no forgetting
you
You've awoken me
but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
gave you all of me
And now honestly
I got nothing left
I loved you
dangerously
More than the air
that I breathe
Knew we would crash
at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Baby I loved you
dangerously mmm mmm
I loved you
dangerously
Usually
I hold the power
With both my hands
tied behind my back
Look at
how things changed
'Cause now you're
the train
And I'm tied
to the track
You've awoken me
but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
gave you all of me
And now honestly
I got nothing left
'Cause I loved you
dangerously
More than the air
that I breathe
Knew we would crash
at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Baby I loved you
dangerously
You took me down down
down down
And kissed my lips
with goodbye
I see it now now
now now
It was a matter
of time
You know
I know
There's only one place
this could lead
But you are the fire
and I'm gasoline
I love you I love you
I love you
I loved you
dangerously
Woo more than the air
that I breathe
Oh now knew we would
crash at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Oh oh baby I loved you
dangerously mmm mmm
Woo I loved you
dangerously
Woo I loved you
dangerously

Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Long dress no shoes
summer nights
Golden and blue
it feels just like
We're stuck
I side a picture frame
These memories
never fade away oh
Whisper to me
we got the world
Right at our feet
and I just wanna sit
Right here
and look at you
That's probably
all I ever do
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Wake up
and smile
'Cause
you're beautiful
Those hazel eyes
when I get old
That's all I wanna
think about
I probably shouldn't
say this out loud
High hopes big dreams
and a little scared
Way too naive
thinking you always
Be mine and never
leave my side
At least
these memories
Never
say goodbye
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Someday I'm running
out of time
I'll see your picture
in my mind
I'll keep our love
frozen in time
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away

Yesterday
All my troubles
Seemed so far away
Now it looks as though
They're here to stay
Oh I believe in
Yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man
I used to be
There's a shadow
Hanging over me
Oh Yesterday
Came suddenly
Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday
love was such an easy
Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away
Oh I believe in
Yesterday Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday
love was such an easy
Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away
Oh I believe in
Yesterday Mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm.

I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

Uhm uhm
uhm uh uhm uhm
Some people live
for the fortune
Some people live
just for the fame
Some people live
for the power yeah
Some people live
just to play the game
Some people think that

Define
what's within
And I been
there before

Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah
Some people search
for a fountain
That promises
forever young
Some people need
three dozen roses
And that's
the only way
To prove you love him
hand me the world
On a silver platter
and what
Good would it be
with no one to share
With no one who truly
cares for me
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you you you
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got

Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah-
If I ain't got you

Whole wide world

I'm sitting here
in a boring room
It's just another
rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever
happens and I wonder
I'm driving around
in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change
my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
another lemon tree
Sing da
da da da da dee da da
Da da da da dee da da
da da da da
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out
taking a shower
But there's a heavy
cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
put myself into bed
Where nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
Isolation
Is not good for me
Isolation
I don't want to
sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around
in a desert of joy
Baby any how
I'll get another toy
And everything
will happen
And you'll wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
Yellow wonder wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that I can see
and all that I can see
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree

Listen to the song
here in my heart
A melody I start
but can't complete
Listen to the sound
from deep within
It's only beginning
to find release
Oh the time
has come
For my dreams to
be heard
They will not
be pushed
Aside and turned
into your own
All cause you won't
listen
Listen I am
alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
You should
have listened
There is
someone here inside
Someone I'd thought
had died So long ago
Oh I'm screamin'
out and
My dreams
will be heard
They will not be
pushed aside or worse
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen
listen
I am alone at
a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
I don't know
where I belong
But I'll be
movin on
If you don't
if you won't
Listen
to the song
Here in my heart
a melody I've start
But I will complete
oh Now I'm done
Believin you
you don't know
What I'm feelin
I'm more than what
You made of me
I followed the voice
You think you
gave to me
But now I gotta find
my own my own

Do you
love the rain
Does it
make you dance
When
you're drunk
With your friends
at a party
What's
your favorite song
Does it
make you smile
Do you
think of me
When
you close your eyes
Tell me
what are you dreamin'
Everything
I wanna know it all
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
Do you
miss the road
That
you grew up on
Did you
get your middle name
From
your grandma
When
you think about
Your forever
now
Do you
think of me
When
you close your eyes
Tell me
what are you dreamin'
Everything
I wanna know it all
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna
love you
Woo want the good
and the bad
And everything
in between
Woo gotta cure
my curiosity
Woo
yeah
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
yeah
And
I I'm gonna love you
I I'm gonna
love you

You know
I want you
It's not a secret
I try to hide
I know
you want me
So don't keep saying
our hands are tied
You claim
it's not in the cards
But fate is pulling
you miles away
And out of reach
from me
But you're here
in my heart
So who can stop me
if I decide
That you're
my destiny
What if we
rewrite the stars
Say you were
made to be mine
Nothing could
keep us apart
You'd be the one
I was meant to find
It's up to you
and it's up to me
No one can say
what we get to be
So why don't we
rewrite the stars
Maybe the world
could be ours tonight
You think
it's easy
You think I don't want
to run to you
But there are
mountains
And there are
doors
That we can't
walk through
I know
you're wondering why
Because
we're able to be
Just you and me
within these walls
But when we go
outside
You're gonna wake up
and see that
It was hopeless
after all
No one can
rewrite the stars
How can you say
you'll be mine
Everything
keeps us apart
And I'm not the one
you were meant to find
It's not up to you
it's not up to me
When everyone tells us
what we can be
How can we
rewrite the stars
Say that the world
can be ours tonight
All I want is to fly
with you
All I want is to fall
with you
So just give me
all of you
It feels impossible
it's not impossible
Is it impossible
say that it's possible
How do we
rewrite the stars
Say you were
made to be mine
Nothing can
keep us apart
'Cause you are the one
I was meant to find
It's up to you
and it's up to me
No one can say
what we get to be
Why don't we
rewrite the stars
Changing the world
to be ours
You know
I want you
It's not a secret
I try to hide
But I can't
have you
We're bound to break
and my hands are tied

Same bed
but it feels
Just a little bit
bigger now
Our song
on the radio
But it don't
sound the same
When our friends
talk about you
All it does is
just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks
a little
When I hear
your name
It all just sounds
like woo hu
Uhm too young too dumb
to realize
That I should've
bought you flowers
And held
your hand
Should've gave you
all my hours
When I had
the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause all you wanted
to do was dance
Now
my baby's dancin'
But she's dancin'
with another man
My pride
my ego
My needs
and my selfish ways
Caused a good
strong woman like
You to walk
out my life
Now I never
never get to
Clean up the mess
I made oh
And it haunts me
every time
I close
my eyes
It all just sounds
like woo hu
Uhm too young too dumb
to realize
That I should've
bought you flowers
And held
your hand
Should've gave you
all my hours
When I had
the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause all you wanted
to do was dance
Now
my baby's dancin'
But she's dancin'
with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first
To say that
I was wrong
Oh I know I'm probably
much too late
To try and apologize
for my mistakes
But I just want you
to know
I hope
he buys you flowers
I hope
he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
when he has the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause I remember
how much
You loved
to dance
Do all the things
I should've done
When I was
your man
Do all the things
I should've done
When I was
your man

An empty street
an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are
getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
my love
I try to read
I go to work
I'm laughing
with my friends
But I can't stop
to keep myself
From thinking
oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
to hold you in my arms
To promise you
my love
To tell you
from the heart
You're all
I'm thinking of
I'm reaching
for a love that
Seems so far so so
I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
say a little prayer
Dreams will
take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you
once again
Over seas
from coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you
once again my love-

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

I don't drink coffee
I take tea my dear
I like my toast done
on the side
And you can hear it
in my accent
When I talk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
see me walking down
Fifth avenue
a walking cane here
At my side
I take it everywhere
I walk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
uh- I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York
if manners maketh
Man as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
Modesty propriety
can lead to notoriety
You could end up
as the only one
Gentleness sobriety
are rare
In this society
at night
A candle's brighter
than the sun-

Takes more than combat
gear to make a man
Takes more than
license for a gun
Confront your enemies
avoid them
When you can
a gentleman will walk
But never run
if 'manners maketh
Man' as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say-

I can see the pain
living in your eyes
And I know how
hard you try
You deserve to have
so much more
I can feel your hurt
and I sympathize
And I'll never
critisize
All you ever meant
to my life-
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back from
Where you might
belong
You would
never ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say
But goodbye
ah- goodbye-
You deserve a chance
at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm
worthy of
Losing you is painful
for me
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back
From where you
might belong
You would never
ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say-
But
goodbye-

You would never
ask me why
My hurt is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left you try
No it's gonna
hurt us both
There's no other way
than to say goodbye
Uhm----
goodbye-

It's late
in the evening
she's wondering
what clothes to wear
She puts on
her makeup
and brushes her
long blonde hair
And then she asks me
"Do I look all right?"
And I say
"Yes you look
wonderful tonight."
We go to a party
and everyone
turns to see
this beautiful lady
is walking
around with me
And then she asks me
"Do you feel
all right?"
And I say "Yes I feel
wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful
because I see the love
light in your eyes
Then the wonder
of it all
is that you just
don't realize
how much I love you.

it's time to go
home now
and I've got an
aching head
So I give her
the car keys
and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her
as I turn out the light
I say
"My darling you are
wonderful tonight"
Oh my darling you are
wonderful tonight-

You are the answer
to my lonely prayer
You are an angel
from above
I was so lonely
till you come to me
With the wonder of
your love
I don't know how
I ever lived before
You are my life
my destiny
Oh my darling
I love you so
You mean
everything to me
If you should ever
ever go away
There would be
lonely tears to cry
The sun above would
never shine again
There would be
teardrops in the sky
So hold me close and
never let me go
Any say our love
will- be-
Oh my darling
I love you so
You mean
everything to me
So hold me close and
never let me go
Any say our love
will always be
Oh my darling
I love you so
You mean
ev'rything to me.
