Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us 
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever 
Oh, love me tonight for I may never see you again 
Hey, Sandy girl, my, my, my, my baby 

Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight 
Forcin' a light to all those stony faces left stranded on this warm July 
And the boys from the casino
Dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers on the shore 
Chasin' all those silly New York virgins by the score 

Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us 
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever 
Oh, love me tonight, I promise I'll love you forever 
Oh, I mean it, Sandy girl - oh my baby 
Hey, Sandy girl, my, my, my, my baby 

Sandy, the waitress I was seein's lost her desire for me 
I spoke with her last night
She said she won't set herself on fire for me anymore 
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For tellin' fortunes better than they do 
For me this boardwalk life's throug
You ought to quit this scene too, ooh

Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us 
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever 
Oh, love me tonight for I may never see you again 
Hey, Sandy girl, my, my, my, my baby
Hey, Sandy girl - oh, my baby 
Hey, Sandy girl, my, my, my, my baby
Hey, Sandy girl - oh, my baby 
Hey, Sandy girl, my, my, my, my baby

Out on the town, kicking around, feeling bluesy
It's getting late, I can't afford to be choosy
Should be home and dry by now
Tried every trick in the book but

Another night, Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night, Saturday night and I'm losing

The DJ plays a song from the past I remember
I hold her tight in my arms, she surrender
It's the same old record playing
But it's a different girl that's swaying

Another night, Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night, Saturday night and I'm losing

As we move round the room
Whispering things with my eyes closed
It feels that you're here
Then the music stops, I open my eyes
My fantasy ends, we're not even friends

I'm leavin' to catch my ride, pay my fare on my way home
The same thing every week on my own
Next time around you might be there
My luck might change but until then

Another night, Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night, Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night, Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night, Saturday night and I'm losing

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say, "Please share my umbrella."
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it - wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it, by August, she was mine

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started, silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance beginning in a queue
Came the sun, the ice was melting, no more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella led me to a vow

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say, "Please share my umbrella."
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it - wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it, by August, she was mine

Hey, Carrie Anne
Hey, Carrie Anne

When we were at school our games were simple
I played a janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What�s the attraction in what they�re doing

Hey, Carrie Anne, what�s your game, now - can anybody play
Hey, Carrie Anne, what�s your game, now - can anybody play

You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost you�re charm as you were ageing
Where is your magic disappearing

Hey, Carrie Anne, what�s your game, now - can anybody play
Hey, Carrie Anne, what�s your game, now - can anybody play

You�re so, so like a woman to me - so like a woman to me
So - so
So - so
Like a woman to me - like a woman to me

Hey, Carrie Anne, what�s your game, now - can anybody play
Hey, Carrie Anne, what�s your game, now - can anybody play

People live and learn but you�re still learning
You use my mind and I�ll be your teacher
When the lesson�s over, you�ll be with me
Then I�ll hear the other people saying

Hey, Carrie Anne, what�s your game, now - can anybody play
Hey, Carrie Anne, what�s your game, now - can anybody play

Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny thing I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

Two, three, four

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older
So much older than you

You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you
You should have departed before he got started
Now you've been burned just like I said you would

Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial to you
Must read in between the lines
A message you will see
If you use your mind, you'll find
I want you back with me

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I could have told you, he was much older
So much older than you
so much older than you, so much older than you

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny thing I heard today
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go

His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

White chalk written on red brick
Our love, told in a heart
It's there, drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate or adore

I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la

I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside

One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking
Had she done the same

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la

One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking
Had she done the same

I hope Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love, kiss, hate or ador

Singing, I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la

If you could only see me
I know exactly where I am
You wouldn't want to be me
Oh, I can assure you of that

I'm not the guy to run with
Cos I'll throw you off the line
I'll break you and destroy you
Given time

He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse

It's plain to see it's hopeless
Going on the way we are
So even though I'll lose you
You'd be better off by far

He's not the man to hold your trust
Everything he touches turns to dust
In his hands
Nothing he can do is right
He'd even like to sleep at night
But he can't

All he touches turns to dust
All he touches turns to dust
All he touches turns to dust
All he touches turns to dust

I wish someone would find me
And help me gain control
Before I lose my reason
And my soul

He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse

He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse

Saturday night I was downtown 
Working for the FBI 
Sitting in a nest of bad men 
Whisky bottles piling high 

Bootlegging boozer on the west side 
Full of people who are doing wrong 
Just about to call up the DA man 
When I heard this woman singing a song 

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes 
My temperature started to rise 
She was a long cool woman in a black dress 
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall 
With just one look I was a bad mess 
Cos that long cool woman had it all 

Woo

I saw her headin' to the table 
Well, a tall walking big black cat 
When Charlie said, "I hope that you're able boy."
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at 

Well, suddenly we heard the sirens 
And everybody started to run 
A jumping out of doors and tables 
Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun 

Well, the DA was pumping my left hand 
And then she was a-holding my right 
Well, I told her, "Don't get scared 
Cos you're gonna be spared."

Well, I've gotta be forgiven 
If I wanna spend my living 
With a long cool woman in a black dress 
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall 
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess 
Cos that long cool woman had it all 

Had it all, had it all, had it all, had it all, had it all
Had it all, she had it all

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
In the end
Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
In the end
Love, love, love

Love takes you back
To the first love you had
Remembering
They say you can't forget
Your first taste of love
Memories
Love, love, love

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
Don't try pretend
Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
Don't try pretend

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
In the end
Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
In the end

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read

Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you 
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
