LIES (ALL THROUGH THE 80's)
Written by D. Newman
We're all gonna live out the Hollywood dream Everything's gonna be just what it seems Gonna find a better way to run our cars All through the Eighties 'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars All through the Eighties The Video Screen will open up the door All through the Eighties Information - there'll be more and more All through the Eighties Will the man on the street finally know the score
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
The play's been written we'll all be in the cast All through the Eighties And our feet are gonna point away from the past All through the Eighties Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
Time will go and the years fly by All through the Eighties And we'll have another slice of American Pie All through the Eighties Credit card living, push button cash All through the Eighties We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash All through the Eighties And another generation will "Talk about their Generation"
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot) I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say [fading]
ON THE RUN
Written by Manfred Mann/Tony Ashton/Florrie Palmer
You're on the run from the Law You weren't happy, had to have much more Now the heat is on The heat is on Don't look back Hideaway You keep going, just another day 'Cause the heat is on The heat is on
You know you're in the hands of fate You've done the worst You must appreciate why The heat is on The heat is on Run away on the night flight Oh they got you on the run You gonna live in the twilight Oh the heat is on
Took your gold, took your chance You got the money And you got romance Now, the heat is on The heat is on The time has come for you to go You keep running But it seems so slow 'Cause the heat is on The heat is on [repeat to fade]
FOR YOU
Written by Bruce Springsteen
Princess cards she sends me with her regards, Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy To see her you gotta look hard Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted To her cheshire smile I'll stand on file She's all I ever wanted You let your blue walls stand in the way of these facts, honey Get your carpet baggers off my back Girl give me time to cover my tracks You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks" But they're not what I came for Oh I came for so much more And I know you that too And I know you know that's true
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you
Crawl into my ambulance Your pulse is getting weak Reveal yourself all to me now While you've got the strength to speak 'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue With their oxygen masks But I could give it all to you now If only you could ask Don't call for your surgeon Even he says it's late It's not your lungs this time But your heart holds your fate Don't give me my money back Don't want it anymore It's not that nursery mouth I came back for It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor I've broken all your windows And I've rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars And you should know that's true You should know that too
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you
Don't call for your surgeon Even he says it's late It's not your lungs this time But your heart holds your fate Don't give me my money back Don't want it anymore It's not that nursery mouth I came back for It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor I've broken all your windows And I've rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars You should know that's true You should know that too
I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you
ADOLESCENT DREAM
Written by Manfred Mann
- Published Scalehand Ltd. . You're not the great romantic Crystal juke-box queen You're not my old adolescent dream You're not my spiritual gypsy My fifty Chevy Machine You're not my old adolescent dream
Oh no my friend You stand above all that You're my life My love My blood My soul
You're not the way I planned it The way it's meant to be You're not my old adolescent dream
Oh no my friend You stand above all that You're my life My love My blood My soul
Oh no, you're not my old adolescent dream

STRANDED
Written by Manfred Mann/Mike Heron
Stranded in Iowa Stranded in Iowa Better get the Breakdown squad out Get me rolling on 'Cause I can't keep my thoughts out of sight Better get the Breakdown squad out Get me rolling on 'Cause I need to feel the stars sleep by at night I'm stranded all night, stranded all right
Stranded in Iowa Stranded in Iowa Better get the Breakdown squad out Get me rolling on 'Cause I can't keep my thoughts out of sight Better get the Breakdown squad out Get me rolling on 'Cause I need to feel the stars sleep by at night I'm stranded all night, stranded all right

HELLO, I'M YOUR HEART
Written by Dennis Linde
Hello, this is your heart You got me broken one too many times Hello, this is your heart, speaking You got me tired of one too many lies Goin'away, taking your emotions Leaving you as cold as ice If you intend to keep on fooling You must expect to pay the price Goodbye, this is your heart 'Cause you got me going one too many times So long, this is your heart, leaving Wish you the best of loving Till I'm coming home
Hello, this is your heart You got me broken one too many times So long, this is your heart, leaving Wish you the best of loving Till I'm coming home Gaining love under false pretences Lying with your eyes So when you feel me moving out It will come as no surprise
Been around too long I've been around too long Been around [repeat to fade]

HEART ON THE STREET
Written by Tom Gray
I lay dreamin' Electronic healer Plugged in the groove Not a thought in my head Oh, you shook me away girl Remember words that you said Have a taste of another kind of fruit boy Why not make all your dreams come all real It's easy just keep your eyes open Put your shoulder to the wheel It's not my feet It's just a heart on the street
Blue, Black and White Can't we get anything right What's the matter with you What's the matter with me It's just my heart on the street
I know, I know I'm just a John to your TV I know, I know I'm just a radio Joe But, pull me out the socket And away we go It's not my feet It's just a heart on the street
Blue, Black and White Can't we get anything right What's the matter with you What's the matter with me It's just my heart on the street
Blue, Black and White Can't we get anything right What's the matter with you What's the matter with me It's just my heart on the street
Blue, Black and White Can't we get anything right What's the matter with you What's the matter with me It's just my heart on the street
