Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what I just heard
There´s gonna be a party all over the world

I got a message on the radio, but where it came from I don´t really know
And I heard these voices calling all over the world

Chorus:
All over the world, everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight

Everybody walkin´ down the street, everybody movin´ to the beat
They´re gonna get hot down in the U.S.A. (New York, Detroit, L.A.)

We´re gonna take a trip across the sea, everybody come along with me
We´re gonna hit the night down in gay Pareee

chorus

London, Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Rio, Hong Kong, Tokyo
L.A., New York, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo, Shard End and

chorus

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what I just heard
Everybody walkin´ down the street, I know a place where we all can meet
Everybody gonna have a good time, everybody will shine till the daylight

chorus

All over the world, everybody got the word (repeats 3x

The gold verandah in the dark has gone,
Down to the metal man,
No better time to leave the ground,
And maybe try to understand,

You gotta hold on to somethin´ that you believe,
Hold on to somethin´ that makes you feel alright,

And through the darkest times of your life,
You always tried to be the one,
And now the times have made you wonder,
If you ever knew what was going on,

You gotta hold on to somethin´ that you believe,
Hold on to somethin´ that makes you feel alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

(Solo)

No use thinkin´ about what you ain´t got,
Just makes you bitter,
And as you speak everything you say,
Goes out on the Big Transmitter,

You gotta hold on to somethin´ that you believe,
Hold on to somethin´ that makes you feel alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
alright

Everywhere the sun is shining
All around the world, it´s shining
But cold winds blow across your mind
Confusion -- it´s such a terrible shame
Confusion -- you don´t know what you´re saying
You´ve lost your love and you just can´t carry on
You feel there´s no one there for you to lean on.

Every night you´re out there, darling
You´re always out there running
And I see that lost look in your eyes
Confusion -- I don´t know what I should do
Confusion -- I leave it all up to you
You´ve lost your love and you just can´t carry on
You feel there´s no one there for you to lean on.

Dark is the road you wander
And as you stand there under
The starry sky, you feel sad inside
Confusion -- you know it´s driving me wild
Confusion -- it comes as no big surprise
You´ve lost your love and you just can´t carry on
You feel there´s no one there for you to lean on.

Confusion, confusion
Confusion, confusion
confusion

Monday:Late again,today,he´d be in trouble though
he´d say he was sorry,he´d have to hurry out the bus.

Tuesday:Horace was so sad,he´d never had a girl that he
could care for,and if he was late once more,he´d be out.

CHORUS

Don´t be afraid,just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin´ and fumblin´.
Then a voice from above said--
"Horace Wimp,this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife.
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan."

Wednesday:Horace met a girl,she was small and she
was very pretty,he thought he was in love,he was afraid.

Thursday:Asks her for a date,the cafe down the street
tomorrow evening,his head was reeling,
when she said "Yes O.K."

Repeat Chorus

Friday:Horace,this is it,he asks the girl if maybe they
could marry,when she says "gladly." Horace cries.

Sunday:Everybody´s at the church,when Horace
rushes in and says "Now here come my wife,
for the rest of my life." and she did.

You´re always talkin´ ´bout your crazy nights,
One of these days you´re gonna get it right.

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey woman you got the blues
Cause you ain´t got no one else to use
There´s an open road that leads no where
So just make some miles between here and there
There´s a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha woman, it´s a crying shame
But you ain´t got nobody else to blame

Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin´ in a daze
Ha ha woman
What you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It´s so good that you´re feelin´ pain
But you better get your face aboard the very next train
(repeat chorus)

Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you´re to wail a different song
Ha, ha funny how you broke me up
]You made the wine now you drink a cup
I come runnin´ every time you cried
I thoughjt I saw love smilin´ in your eyes
Ha, ha very nice to know
That you ain´t got no place left to go
(repeat chorus

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold tight to your dream.

It´s a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream

CHORUS
When you get so down that you can´t get up
And you want so much but you´re all out of luck
When you´re so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over & over & over you could

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.

REPEAT CHORUS

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream.

Oh, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, hold on tight...
To your dream
hold on tight

Sailin´ away on the crest of a wave
It´s like ma-a-gic
Ah, rollin´ and ridin´ and slippin´ and sliding
It´s ma-a-gic

And you-ou-ou, and your sweet desi-i-ire
You took me-ee, oh-oh, higher and higher, baby
It´s a livin´ thing, it´s a terrible thing to-oo lose
It´s a given thing, what a terrible thing to-oo lose

I´m takin´ a dive (dive-dive-dive-dive-dive), di-(di-di-di-di)

Makin´ believe this is what you conceived
From your wor-orst day (I´m takin´ a dive)
Ah, movin´ in line when you look back in time
To the fir-irst day (I´m takin´, I´m takin´)

And you-ou-ou, and your sweet desi-i-ire
(Don´t you do it, don´t you do it)
You took me-ee, oh-oh, higher and higher, baby
It´s a livin´ thing, it´s a terrible thing to-oo lose
It´s a given thing, what a terrible thing to-oo lose

I´m taking a dive (dive-dive-dive-dive-dive)
All the time (time, time) Hey (hey)

Takin´ a dive ´cause you can´t halt the slide
Floating downstream (I´m takin´ a dive)
Ah, so let her go don´t start spoiling the show
It´s a ba-ad dream (I´m takin´, I´m takin)

And you-ou-ou, and your sweet desi-i-ire
(Don´t you do it, don´t you do it)
You took me-ee, oh-oh, higher and higher, baby
It´s a livin´ thing, it´s a terrible thing to-oo lose
It´s a given thing, what a terrible thing to-oo lose
It´s a livin´ thing, it´s a terrible thing to-oo lose
It´s a given thing (fade)

Got love, if that´s what you need
I got three or four babies sittin´ on my knee
I got love waitin´ for you
I come sneakin´ round the corner of the avenue

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

There´s one thing that´s on my mind
And that´s getting hold of you before I serve my time
I´ll keep on, with my heavy load
Till I see you come a strollin´ down that open road

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

I love you Ma-Ma-Ma Belle
That´s why I want to get it all well I´m sure you can tell
I got, good soul, runnin´ so deep
Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep
Can´t you hear me once Ma-Ma-Ma Belle

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

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

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

Creepin´ over, now his hand is on your shoulder,

Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
I´m ready, yea, yea, yea, I´m ready,
Wo, wo, wo, I´m ready
And I´m really gonna rock tonight.

Sweet little lady sings like a songbird
And she sings the opera like you ain´t never heard,
But she ain´t ready,
No, no, no, she ain´t ready
No, no, no, she ain´t ready,
And she ain´t gonna rock & roll

CHORUS
She´s sweet on Wagner,
I think she´d die for Beethoven,
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune,
And Verdi´s always creeping from her room

Come on I´ll show you how to sing the blues
Now baby, come on over you got nothin´ to lose,
Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready
Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready
I wanna show you how to rock and roll.

Now listen here baby she, said to me
Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three,
´Cos I´m ready, yea, yea, yea, I´m ready,
Woo, hoo, hoo, I´m ready,
I´m gonna show you how to sing the blues.

CHORUS -- repeat

Far, far away the music is playing.

Well we were reelin´ and a rockin´ all through the night,
Yea we were rockin´ at the opera house until the break of light,
And the orchestra were playin´ all Chuck Berry´s greatest tunes.
And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues,
And as the night grew older everybody was
As one,
The people on the streets came runnin´ in to join in song
Just to hear the opera singer singin´ rock & roll so pure,
I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn´t really sure,
But it´s alright
rockaria!

Although the things you´ve done I wouldn´t criticize,
I guess you had your way.
You see I´ve gotta make you understand.
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say,
But it don´t matter baby, ´cos today´s another day

CHORUS
You shine a little love on my life.
You shine a little love on my life.
You shine a little love on my life and let me see...

Remember, tonight we´re gonna run till dawn
Remember, tonight we´re gonna say it.
We´ll never stop, we got a good thing goin´ on.
I know you´ve heard it all before,
But I realy need you, darlin´, every day I need you more...

CHORUS

Can you understand (Yes I understand)
Can you feel it´s right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I´ll do it all again)

It´s been a year now and it´s getting so much better,
You came home without a word.
Though everybody said you´ll soon forget her,
They couldn´t see it and they just didn´t understand,
And lookin´ in the mirror, there were fools at either hand,

CHORUS

Can you understand (Yes I understand)
Can you feel it´s right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I´ll do it all again)

How many days had I been waiting there to tell you,
I really can´t believe,
We´re walkin´ out into the world tonight,
We´ll do it all again until the break of night,
And the feelin´ in your heart will soon be shinin´ in your eyes.

CHORUS
shine a little love

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin´ for a Showdown

Bad dreamer, what´s your name
Looks like we´re ridin´ on the same train
Looks as through there´ll be more pain
There´s gonna be a Showdown

And it´s rainin´ all over the world
It´s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There´s gonna be a Showdown

Save me, oh save me
It´s unreal, the suffering
There´s gonna be a Showdown

And it´s rainin´ all over the world
It´s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

You´re sailing softly
Through the sun in a broken stone age dawn
You fly, so high, I get a

Strange magic, oh what a strange magic
Oh it´s a strange magic, got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.

You´re walking meadows in my mind,
Making waves across my time,
Oh no, oh no, I get a

Oh I´m never gonna be the same again
Now I´ve seen the way it´s got to end,

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

Hello--how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That´s what I´d say, I´d tell you everything,
If you´d pick up that telephone.


Hey--how you feelin´
Are you still the same
Don´t you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just can´t believe
They´ve all faded out of view.


I look into the sky
And I wonder why


CHORUS
Telephone line, give me some time, I´m living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I´m living in twilight


O.K. so no--one´s answering,
Well can´t you just let it ring a little longer
I´ll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.


CHORUS -- repeat

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

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.

A place where nobody dared to go, the love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu

And now, open your eyes and see, what we have made is real
We are in Xanadu

A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you´re here with me, eternally

Chorus:
Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) in Xanadu

Xanadu, your neon lights will shine for you, Xanadu

The love, the echoes of long ago, you needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu

The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears, it came to Xanadu

A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you´re here with me, eternally

Chorus

Now that I´m here, now that you´re near in Xanadu
Now that I´m here, now that you´re near in Xanadu, Xanadu
