The city streets are empty now
(The lights don´t shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low.

A sound that flows into my mind
(The echoes of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive (In my blue world).

CHORUS
I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you coming home
I can´t go on.

The dying embers of a night
(A fire that slowly fades till dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright.

The tired streets that hide away
(From here to everywhere they go)
Roll past my door into the day
(In my blue world).

REPEAT CHORUS

I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone.

Yes I´m turning to stone ´cos you ain´t coming home
Why ain´t you coming home if I´m turning to stone
You´ve been gone for so long and I can´t carry on
Yes, I´m turning, I´m turning
I´m turning to stone.

The dancing shadows on the wall
(The two-step in the hall)
Are all I see since you´ve been gone.

Through all I sit here and I wait
(I turn to stone, I turn to stone)
You will return again some day
(To my blue world).

REPEAT CHORUS

I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone.

REPEAT CHORUS

I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone

IT´S OVER

Summer came and passed away,
hardly seemed to last a day
but it´s over and what can I do
Music playin´ in the air,
silence on a darkened stair
´cos it´s over and what can I do

It´s over, it´s over, all over,
it´s all over now
and the way you looked don´t even mean I´m down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin´ down, down, down,
it´s all over.
Feelin´ down, down, down.
Baby, baby, it´s all gone,
rolled out to sea.

Lookin´ over sunny days,
searchin´ for the righteous wave
´cos it´s over and what can I do
Lookin´ from this distant shore
you ain´t sailin´ by no more
´cos it´s over and what can I do

It´s over, it´s over, all over,
it´s all over now
and the way you looked don´t even mean I´m down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin´ down, down, down,
it´s all over.
Feellin´ down, down, down.

Ah, it´s over, it´s over, it´s over,
it´s all over and what can I do
Ah, it´s over, it´s over,
it´s all over.

Oh, it´s over, it´s over.
Don´t shed a tear for me, it´s over,
don´t shed a tear although it´s over.

- Jeff Lynne

I was searchin´ on a one-way street
I was hopin´ for a chance to meet
I was waitin´ for the operator on the line

(She´s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don´t know what I´m gonna do
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down
Sweet talkin´ woman
You got me runnin´
You got me searchin´
Hold on sweet talkin´ woman
It´s so sad if that´s the way it´s over

I was walkin´ many days gone by
I was thinkin´ ´bout the lonely nights
Communication break down all around me

(She´s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don´t know what I´m gonna do
I gotta get back to you
(repeat chorus)

I´ve been livin´ on a dead-end street
I´ve been askin´ ev´rybody I meet
Insufficient data comin´ through

(She´s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don´t know what I´m gonna do
I gotta get back to you
(repeat chorus

ACROSS THE BORDER

I ve been workin´ so hard, baby,
tryin´ to get to you.
I´m gonna be there soon because

In the heat of the day many miles away
when the sun is beating down upon the main street
I´ll be waiting here at the station,
I gotta move down the line.
They´ll be dancin´ and singin´ and doin´ their thing
and they´ll be rockin´ and rollin´ until the day is done.
You know I got to make the deadline.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don´t get to the border then I´ll write.

The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong
and the people dancing all across the city.
I´m leaving here tonight,
I gotta move down the line.
I´m gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five,
I´m gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning,
maybe three or four hundred miles.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don´t get to the border then I´ll write.

When the wind is blowing softly
through the streets of a little town and the music´s playin
you´re waiting somewhere over the horizon.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don´t get to the border then I´ll write.

- Jeff Lynne

NIGHT IN THE CITY

Standin´ at the airport lookin´ down the strip,
she was cryin´ her eyes, she was bitin´ her lip.
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
and there´s no turnin´ round ´cos it´s just leavin´ the ground
and gettin´ higher HIGHER.

Standin´ at the dock-side lookin´ out to sea
when I saw her but she did not see me.
There she stood with no hope because she´d missed the boat
and as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
back to the city CITY.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin´ you insane.

In the city CITY

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin´ you insane.

I was runnin´ kinda lonely at the city place.
I waited for an hour, I never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake.
I just can´t take anymore, I´m going in through the door
into the city CITY.

I´ll get you, yes, I´m gonna get you,
I´ll get you, yes, I´m gonna get you,
I´ll get you, yes, I´m gonna get you,
I´ll get you, yes, I´m gonna get you,
I´ll get you, yes, I´m gonna get you,
I´ll get you, yes, I´m gonna get you,
drivin´ you insane.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
night in the city drivin´ you insane,
drivin´ you insane,
drivin´ you insane.

- Jeff Lynne

STARLIGHT

Starlight, I hear you callin´ out to me.
Sweet love rollin´ across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin´ around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin´ out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel you´re so real, I can see you´re so near
and the you run.

You gotta stop foolin´ around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night don´t tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin´ around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin´ down on me so far away. (repeat & fade)

I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
But what´s that going on, I think I´m outta my head
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley

A hundred animals were gathered ´round in the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled:
"Come join us if you so desire."

They sang
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
That´s what they sang
Looka looka koo la ley
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
That´s what they sang
Looka looka koo la ley

I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

They sang
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
That´s what they sang
Looka looka koo la ley

And they danced

Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony

They sang
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
That´s what they sang
Looka looka koo la ley
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
That´s what they sang
Looka looka koo la ley

"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

Instrumental with some words...


Can you hear me
Ahhhhhh, something, something!

Believe me now,
I could never say goodbye,
Dont leave me now,
Believe me now.

Pack up all your things
We´re gonna be leaving
Sooner than I thought
Take the things you bought
Clouds are gathering.

Say goodbye to all your friends
We´re gonna be sorry
For a while, that´s how it goes
But then again, who knows
About the rain.

CHORUS:
I´m steppin´ out
I´m moving on
I´m gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone
I´m gonna be somebody...
Oh, I´m steppin´ out.

Did you hear what he said
He said they sold me down the river
They thought I was a fool
They said the rain would fall
What did they know

Then I saw your face
And the song that you were singing
Though I thought I knew the words
The tune was quite absurd and out of key
Doo dah dah dee.

REPEAT CHORUS

I´m steppin´ out, I´m steppin´ out
I´m steppin´ out, I´m steppin´ out
I´m steppin´ out, I´m steppin´ out
I´m steppin´ out, I´m steppin´ out
I´m steppin´ out, I´m steppin´ out
I´m steppin´ out, I´m steppin´ out
Steppin´ out, steppin´ out, steppin´ out.

Don´t know where I´m going
Gonna see the world, gonna be somebody
Don´t know where I´m going
I´m just steppin´ out
I´m steppin´ out
I´m steppin´ out.

(Concerto for a rainy day...)
(Rain...)

I´m standing in the rain
I´m waiting all alone
I´m so tired
I wanna go home.

I´m standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I´m doing my best
But what do I get

I´m standing in the rain
Can´t seem to get along
People rushing by
Wish they could hear my song.

I´m standing in the rain
It´s teeming down on me
Cats & dogs
I wanna be free.

I´m standing in the rain
Doing my thing
I´m trying my best
What does it bring
I´m standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I´m doing my best
But what does it get

The good intentions and the pain
Lay drowned now in the pouring rain
I tried to be so good this time
But here I am under the sky.

The good intentions and the pain
Lay drowned now in the pouring rain.

I´ve been thinking it over
So many times they say
You got it made
They never understand
The answer lies within your soul
´Cos no one know which side
The coin will fall

Big wheels turning
Baby I know
Big wheels turning
Baby I know
Big wheels turning, turning

Save it for a rainy day
For when the cold wind blows
To see how they run
I thought they´d know
I tried my best, all I could do
But somehow it was not enough for you

Big wheels turning
Baby I know
Big wheels turning
Baby I know
Big wheels turning, turning
Turning, turning

I remember the dead of night
A lonely light that shines upon the window
I see it all so clear
The tenderness, the silent tears
Out here in the pouring rain
Through cold dark waiting days
I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending, on and on they go

I think I´m going home
I think I´m gonna have to start again
It´s rather sad
Because I´ve looked around, can´t seem to find
Whatever´s always rolling through my mind

Big wheels turning
Baby I know
Big wheels turning
Baby I know
Big wheels turning, turning
Turning, turning

I remember the dead of night
A lonely light that shines upon the window
I see it all so clear
The tenderness, the silent tears
Out here in the pouring rain
Through cold dark waiting days
I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending, on and on they go

Radio announcer:]Warning! Todays forcast calls for blue skys

Sun is shining in the sky there aint a cloud in sight it´s stopped raining,
Everybody´s in the play
And don´t you know it´s a beautiful new day, Hey, Hey
Running down the avenue, see how the sun shines brightly,
In the city, on the streets where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, Hey, Hey

[Chorus:]
Mr.Blue Sky, please tell us why, you had to hide away for so long(So Long),
Where did we go wrong
Repeat

Hey, you, with the pretty face, welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky´s up there waiting,
And today is the day we´ve waited for, Oh-Oh

[Chorus]

Hey, there, Mr. Blue, we´re so pleased to be with you,
Look around, see what you do, everybody smiles at you
Repeat

Mr. Blue Sky, Blue Sky, Blue Sky, Blue Sky, Blue Sky, yi

Mr. Blue, you´ll get it right, but soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin´ over, now his hand is on your shoulder,
Nevermind, I´ll remember you this, I´ll remember you this way

[Chorus

When the day is done and there´s nowhere to run
And the people of the city have all lost and won
In your city dress you stand and stare
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
And the light that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
On the street I wait
But I can´t seem to get to you

Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier
´Cos it´s getting late, you can´t afford to wait
So you move along where it´s going on
And the people of the night are playing ´till the dawn
And the sun that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
In your eyes that cry
Wishing and hoping
Oh

Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near

Well you did your thing and you lost your wings
And you hurt so bad you lost everything
And the tears that fall on the city wall
Will fade away with the rays of morning light that shines
Paints a smile across your pretty face
I know
Everything is alright
Alright

Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near

Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
Now you are near

Working on the road across this great big world
I´ve been rolling like a stone, I never get back home
Yes, I´ve been long-gone
And boy, I´ve got the Birmingham Blues

I been across the ocean to the south sea isles
Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for miles and miles and miles
And I´ve been long-gone
Boy, I´ve got the Birmingham Blues

Across the world I´ve seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

I wouldn´t change the things I do for anything
But I´d just like to hear the message of the streets again
Give me a ticket
Cause boy, I´ve got the Birmingham Blues

It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet
Industrial Revolution put it on its feet
But it´s a long, long way
Boy, I´ve got the Birmingham Blues

Across the world I´ve seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

I´ll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet
They´ll say "You won´t stay long, you got them travelling feet
You´ll soon be long-gone
´Cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"

Across the world I´ve seen
People and places
Don´t you know it could be the same
But with a different name

Across the world I´ve seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name

WILD WEST HERO

Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero.

Sometimes i look up high and then I think there might
just be a better life.
Away from all we know, that´s where I wanna go,
out on the wild side
and I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I´d be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin´ into the sunset, I wish I could be.

I´d ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,
try´n to do what´s right.
The folks would come to me, they´d say, we need you here.
I´d stay there for the night.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I´d be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin´ into the sunset, I wish I could be.

Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Wish I was, o-o-oo-o-o-o-oo, a wild west hero.
