Songs:
Everybody's Talkin'
Gotta Get Up
Jump Into The Fire
Without You





Everybody's Talkin'
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East winds
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East winds
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind

Gotta Get Up
Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes
What if I'm late, gotta big date, gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, gotta big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run, run, yeah
Gotta get home, pick up the phone, gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

There was a time when we could dance until a quarter to ten
We never thought it would end then
We never thought it would end
We used to carry on and drink and do the rock and roll
We never thought we'd get older
We never thought it'd grow cold, but now

Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes
What if I'm late, gotta big date, gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, gotta big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run, run, yeah
Gotta get home, pick up the phone, gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

Down by the sea she knew a sailor who had been to war
She never even knew a sailor before
She never even knew his name
He'd come to town and he would pound her for a couple of days
And then he'd sail across the bubbly waves
And those were happier days, but now

Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes
What if I'm late, gotta big date, gotta get home before the sun comes up
Up and away, gotta big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run, run, yeah
Gotta get home, pick up the phone, gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

Jump Into The Fire
You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire but you'll never be free
You can shake me up or I can break you down
Whoa-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o
We can make each other happy, oh, we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy, oh, we can make each other happy

You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire but you'll never be free, no, no
You can shake me up or I can break you down
Whoa-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o
We can make each other happy, oh, we can make each other happy
Oh, we can make each other happy, we can make each other happy

You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire but you'll never be free, no, no
You can shake me up or I can break you down
Whoa-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o
We can make each other happy, we can make each other happy
We can make each other happy, we can make each other happy
Whoa-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o

Without You
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows, yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know what you should know

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows, yes, it shows

Can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Living is without you
