25 years of my
life and still
I'm trying
to get up that
Great big
hill of hope
For a
destination
I realized
quickly
When I
knew I should
That the world was
made up of this
Brotherhood
of man
For whatever
that means
And so I
cry sometimes
When I'm
lying in bed
To still
get it all out
What's in
my head
Then I
I am feeling
A little
peculiar
And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get
real high
Then I scream from the
top of my lungs
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I say hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I said hey
What's going on
woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo
woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo
woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo
woo woo woo
And I try
oh my God do I try
I try all the time
in this institution
And I pray
oh my God do I pray
I pray every
single day
For a
revolution
And so I
cry sometimes
When I'm
lying in bed
To still
get it all out
What's in
my head
Then I
I am feeling
A little
peculiar
And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get
real high
Then I scream from the
top of my lungs
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I say hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I said hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I say hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I said hey
What's going on
woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo
woo woo woo woo woo
25 years of my
life and still
I'm trying
to get up that
Great big
hill of hope
For a
destination uhm

I'm not in love
so don't forget it
It's just
a silly phase
I'm going through
and just because
I call you up
don't get me wrong
Don't think
you've got it made
I'm not in love no no
it's because
I like to see you
but then again
That doesn't mean
you mean
That much to me
so if I call you
Don't make a fuss
don't tell
Your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
no no it's because-

I keep your picture
upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain
that's lying there
So don't you ask me
to give it back
I know you know
it doesn't mean
That much to me
I'm not in love
No no it's because ooh
you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
ooh you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
it's just
A silly phase
I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
don't think
You've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not
in love-

I don't like
to sleep alone
Stay with me
don't go
Talk with me
for just a while
So much of you
to get to know
Reaching out
touching you
Leaving all the
worries
All behind
loving you
The way I do
my mouth on yours
And yours on mine
marry me
Let me live with you
nothing's wrong
When love is right
like a man say
In his song
help me make it
Through the night
loneliness
Can get you down
when you get
To thinking
no one cares
Lean on me
and I'll lean on you
Together we will
see it through
Oh I don't like
to sleep alone
Sad to think
some folks do
No I don't like
to sleep alone
No one does do you
I don't like
To sleep alone
no one does do you-

If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
but then I know it's
growin' strong
Was in the spring
then spring became
the summer
Who'd a believed
you'd come along?
Hands touchin' hands
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Look at the night
and it don't
seem so lonely
we fill it up
with only two
and when I hurt
hurtin' runs off
my shoulders
How can I hurt when
holdin' you?
Warm touchin' warm
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been
inclined to
believe they
never would-

Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would-

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-

(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah)
How can I say to you
I love somebody new
You were so good
to me always
And when I see
your eyes
I can't go on with lies
it breaks your heart
But I just can't
hide it oh - no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah)
Don't look
that way to me
I hurts you so I see
But I just can't
go on with lie
I gave you all I had no
there is nothing left
I may be wrong
But I'd better go now
oh- no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
I,
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah).

When you're weary
feelin' small
When tears are in
your eyes
I'll dry them all -
I'm on your side
oh when times -
get rough - -
And friends just can't
be found
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down
and out
when you're on
the street
When evening falls
so hard
I will comfort you -
I'll take your part
oh when darkness
comes - -
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
Troubled
water I will
lay me down.

Sail on silver girl
sail on by
Your time has come
to shine
All your dreams are
on their way
See how they shine
oh if you need a
friend
I'm sailing right
behind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease
your mind - - -.

I'm so young and
you're so old
This my darling
l've been told
I don't care just
what they say
because forever
I will pray
you and I will
be as fiee
as the birds up
in the trees
Oh please stay by me
Diana.

Thrills I get
when you hold me close
oh my darling
you're the most
I love you
but do you love me?
oh Diana
can't you see
I love you
with a all my heart
and I hope we
will never part
Oh please
stay with me Diana.

Oh my darling
oh my lover
tell me that
there is on other
I love you
with my heart
Oh oh oh
oh oh-------
Only you can
take my heart
Only you can
tear it apart
When you hold me
in your loving arms
I can feel you giving
all your charms
Hold me darling
ho ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby
with a all your might
Oh please
stay by me Diana
oh please Diana
oh please Diana.

Perhaps love is like
a resting place
A shelter
from the storm
It exists to give you
comfort it is
There to keep you Warm
And in those times
of trouble when
you are most alone
The memory of love will
bring you home
Perhaps love
is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you
to come closer
It Wants
to show you more
And even if you
lose yourself
and don't know
what to do
The memory of love will
see you thru
Oh love to some is
like a cloud
To some
as strong as steel
For some a way
of living For
some a way to feel
And some say love
is holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will
be of you.

And some say love is
holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
Perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will be of you.

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-

The old home town
looks the same
As I step down
from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa
And down the road
I look and
There runs mary
Hair of gold and
Lips like cherries
It's good to touch
The green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to meet me
Arms a reaching
smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green
grass of home
The old house
is still standing
Though the paint
is cracked and dry
and there's that
Old oak tree that
I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the
green green
grass of home
Then I awake
And look around me
at four grey walls
That surround me
and I realize
Yes that I was only
dreamming
For there's a guard
and there's a sad
Old padre Arm in arm
we'll walk
At daybreak again
I'll touch the
Green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to see me
In the shade of
that old oak tree
As they lay me
beneath the
Green green
grass of home-

You believe
that I've changed
your life forever
And you're never gonna
find another
some-body
like me
And you're wish
you had more than
just a life time
To give back all
I've given you and
that's what
you believe
But I owe you
the sun light
in the morning
And the nights of
all this loving
that time can't
take away
And I owe you
more than life
now more than ever
I know that it's
the sweetest debt
I'll ever
have to pay
I'm ama-zed
when you say it's me
you live for
You know that
when I'm holding you
You're right
where you belong
And my Love
I can't help but smile
with wonder
When you tell me all
I've Done for you
'Cause I've known
all along
But I owe you
the sunlight
in the morming
And the nights of all
this loving
that time can't
take away
And I owe you
more than life
now more than ever
I know that it's
the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay
'Cause I owe you
the sunlingt
in the morming
And the nights of all
this loving
that time can't
take away
I owe you
more than life
now more than ever
know that it's
the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay--

Such a feelings
coming over me
there is
wonder in most
everything I see
not a cloud in the sky
got the sun in my eyes
and I
won't be surprised
if it's a dream
everything
I want the world to be
is now coming
true especially
for me
and the reason
is clear
it's because
you are here
you're the nearest
thing to
heaven that I've seem
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've
been around
your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

Something in the wind
has learned my name
and it's telling me
that things are not
the same in the leaves
on the trees
and the touch of
the breeze
there's a pleasing
sence of happiness
for me
There is only
one wish on my mind
when this day is
through I hope
that I will find
that tomorrow
will be just the
same for you and me
all I need will be
mine if you are here
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that l've found ever
since you're been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the world
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

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

I can show you
the world
Shining shimmering
splendid
Tell me princess
now when did you last
Let your heart
decide
I can open
your eyes
Take you wonder
by wonder
Over sideways
and under
On a magic carpet
ride
A whole
new world
A new fantastic
point of view
No one to tell us no
or where to go
Or say
we're only dreaming
A whole
new world
A dazzling place
I never knew
But
when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
that now
I'm in a whole
new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole
new world with you)
Unbelievable sights
indescribable feeling
Soaring tumbling
freewheeling
Through an endless
diamond sky
A whole
new world
A hundred thousand
things to see
I'm like
a shooting star
I've come
so far
I can't go back
to where I used to be
A whole
new world
With new horizons
to pursue
I'll chase
them anywhere
There's time to spare
let me share
This whole new world
with you
A whole new world
(a whole new world)
That's
where we'll be
(That's
where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
(a wondrous place)
For
you and me

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh
I can hear you
but I won't
Some look for trouble
while others don't
There's a thousand
reasons
I should go
about my day
And ignore
your whispers
Which I wish
would go away oh oh
You're
not a voice
You're just a ringing
in my ear
And if I heard you
which I don't
I'm spoken
for I fear
Everyone I've ever
loved is here
Within these walls
I'm sorry secret siren
But I'm blocking out
your calls
I've had
my adventure
I don't need
something new
I'm afraid of
what I'm risking
If I follow
you
Into the unknown
into the unknown
Into
the unknown
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
What do you
want
'Cause you've been
keeping me awake
Are you here
to distract me
So I make
a big mistake
Or are you someone
out there
Who's a little bit
like me
Who knows
deep down
I'm not
where I'm meant to be
Every day's
a little harder
As I feel my power
grow
Don't you know
there's part of me
That longs
to go
Into the unknown
into the unknown
Into
the unknown
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Oh are you out there
do you know me
Can you feel me
can you show me
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Where are you going
don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
into the unknown

White shirt
now red my bloody nose
Sleeping you're
on your tippy toes
Creeping around
like no one knows
Think
you're so criminal
Bruises on both
my knees for you
Don't say thank you
or please I do
What I want
when I'm wanting to
My soul
so cynical
So you're
a tough guy
Like it really
rough guy
Just can't get
enough guy
Chest always
so puffed guy
I'm that
bad type
Make your mama
sad type
Make your girlfriend
mad type
Might seduce
your dad type
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm the bad guy
I like it
when you take control
Even if you know
that you don't own me
I'll let you
play the role
I'll be
your animal
My mommy likes to sing
along with me
But she won't sing
this song
If she reads
all the lyrics
She'll pity the men
I know
So you're
a tough guy
Like it really
rough guy
Just can't get
enough guy
Chest always
so puffed guy
I'm that
bad type
Make your mama
sad type
Make your girlfriend
mad type
Might seduce
your dad type
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm only good at being
bad bad

I like
when you get mad
I guess
I'm pretty glad
That
you're alone
You said
she's scared of me
I mean
I don't see
What she sees
but maybe it's
'Cause I'm wearing
your cologne
I'm a bad guy I'm
I'm I'm a bad guy
Bad guy bad guy
I'm a bad I'm

I wanna follow
where she goes
I think about her
and she knows it
I wanna let her
take control
'Cause every time that
she gets close yeah
She pulls me
in enough
To keep me guessing
mmm
And maybe
I should stop
And start confessing
confessing yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
She says that
she's never afraid
Just picture
everybody naked
She really
doesn't like to wait
Not really
into hesitation
Pulls me
in enough
To keep me guessing
whoa
And maybe
I should stop
And start confessing
confessing yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back

'Cause
if we lost our minds
And we took it
way too far
I know
we'd be alright
Know
we would be alright
If you were
by my side
And we stumbled
in the dark
I know
we'd be alright
I know
we would be alright
'Cause
if we lost our minds
And we took it
way too far
I know
we'd be alright
I know
we would be alright
If you were
by my side
And we stumbled
in the dark
I know we'd be alright
we would be alright
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
I feel
so free
When you're with me
baby
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
