Lyrics

Another Town, Another Train

Day is dawning and I must go
You're asleep but still I'm sure you'll know
Why it had to end this way
You and I had a groovy time
But I told you somewhere down the line
You would have to find me gone
I just have to move along

Just another town, another train
Waiting in the morning rain
Lord, give my restless soul a little patience
Just another town, another train
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Guess I will spend my life in railway stations
Guess I will spend my life in railway stations

When you wake I know you'll cry
And the words I wrote to say goodbye
They won't comfort you at all
But in time you will understand
That the dreams we dreamed were made of sand
For a no-good bum like me
To live is to be free

(repeat and fade)

Bang-a-Boomerang

Making somebody happy is a question of give and take
You can learn how to show it so come on, give yourself a break
Every smile and every little touch
Don't you know that they mean so much
Sweet sweet kisses so tender
Always will return to sender
Like a bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll learn
You'll get love in return
So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
A boom-a-boomerang is love

Love is always around and you can look for it anywhere
When you feel that you've found it my advice is to take good care
Never use it as a selfish tool
Never ever be such a fool
Every feeling you're showing
Is a boomerang you're throwing
Yes a bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll learn
You'll get love in return
So bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love

And if you're warm and tender
I'll kiss you, return to sender
Please surrender
Bang, a boom-a-boomerang
Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum
Oh bang, a boom-a-boomerang is love
A boom-a-boomerang is love

Dancing Queen

Ooooh
You can dance, you can jive,
having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene,
diggin' the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen,
young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine Oh, yeah
You can dance, you can jive,
having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene,
dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

Dum Dum Diddle

I can hear how you work, practicsing hard
Playing night and day, whoa-whoa
And it sounds better now
Yes, you improve every time you play, whoa-whoa
But it's bad
You're so sad
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin

But I think you don't know that I exist
I'm the quiet kind, whoa-whoa
From the day when I first listened to you
You've been on my mind, whoa-whoa
You don't care
It's not fair
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin

Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum-dum-diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Wish I was, dum-dum-diddle, your darling fiddle

Hey Hey Helen

So at last you're free
It's the way you wanted it to be
And the price you pay
To be called a woman of today
Is it worth the pain to see the children cry
Does it hurt when they ask for Daddy?

Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone (Yes you can)

So you're free at last
And beginning to forget the past
Does it make you sad?
When you think about the life you ha-ha-had
But you're right, you had to take a second chance
So you fight to find your freedom

Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
What's the matter with you?
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
Don't you know what to do (Yes you do)
Ahah, yes you do yes you do
Ahah, yes you do yes you do

Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
What's the matter with you
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
Don't you know what to do
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)

King Kong Song

Well I was looking at a movie on the TV last night
Then I had a very funny notion, yeah
I really had to write a song about it
And then I'm gonna sing it in my rock'n roll band
And I bet that people gonna like it, yeah
I know that everybody's gonna shout it

About a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla!

We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the Kong Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom?
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song

Now we can make the jungle out of any old place
We can make gorillas out of people, yeah
Well who can tell a monkey from a monkey?
So people get together, gonna have a good time
Everybody listen to the music, yeah
The song we're gonna sing is kinda funky

So let your arms hang down
And waddle all around
Like a dreadful mighty killer (AAAHHH!!)
A big black wild gorilla

About a dreadful mighty killer (AAAAHHH!!)
A big black wild gorilla!!

Love isn't Easy (but it sure is hard enough)

Do you remember the first time
with all of you sweet, sweet talk
Ain't heard it a lot since then love

Now look at that guy
He's making me cry
He leaves ev'ry morning
and he hardly says goodbye...

But if I had to choose, I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
Darling, I know...

We gotta have patience
Love isn't just a sensation
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy,
but it sure is hard enough (sweet, sweet, our love is bittersweet)
Giving love is a reason for living
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy
but it sure is hard enough (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)

From the first moment I saw you
I've treated you like a queen
I've given you lots of presents

Now listen to that,
just look at that cat
You'd think he was an angel
but he's talking through his hat

But if I would have to choose I wouldn't let you go
Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow
Darling I know

We gotta have patience
Love isn't just a sensation
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy,
but it sure is hard enough (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Giving (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Love is a reason for living (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy,
but it sure is hard enough (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Patience (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Love isn't just a sensation (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Some of the time it gets rough
Love isn't easy
but it sure is hard enough (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Giving (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
Love is a reason for living (Sweet sweet, our love is bitter-sweet)
But a few things can be tough
Love isn't easy but it sure is hard enough

Nina, Pretty Ballerina

Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see her as she catches a train
Just a face among a million faces
Just another woman with no name
Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special
If you knew her I am sure you'd agree
'Cause I know she's got a little secret
Friday evening she turns out to be...

Nina, pretty ballerina,
now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella
Nina, pretty ballerina,
who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
But she knows the fun would go away
If she would play it every day

So she's back every morning to her work at the office
And another week to live in a dream
And another row of early mornings
In an almost never-ending stream
Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain
Everybody seems to think she's a bore
But they wouldn't know her little secret
What her Friday night would have in store...

People Need Love

People need hope
People need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand....

Man has wanted a woman by is side to keep him company
Women always knew that it takes to get matrmonial harmony
Ev'rybody know that a man who's feeling down needs a female's sympathy
Gotta have love to carry on living
Gotta have 'til eternity

People need hope
People need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand....

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 la-la
la la la la la la la-la la laaaaa

Flowers in the desert need a drop of rain like a woman needs her man
If a man's in love and his woman wants the moon then he'll take it down if he can
Some body who loves you and somebody who cares, isn't that what you call a friend?
Gotta have love to carry on living
Gotta have love 'til eternity

People need hope
People need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand....

La la la la,
la la la la-la
la la la la la la la-la la la

Ring Ring

I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?

Yes I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me So,
ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

You were here and now you're gone
Hey did I do something wrong?
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking

Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Tiger

The city is a jungle, you better take care
Never walk alone after midnight
If you don't believe it you better beware
Of me

I am behind you, I'll always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me,
I am the tiger

The city is a nightmare, a horrible dream
Some of us will dream it forever
Look around the corner and try not to scream
It's me

I am behind you, I'll always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me,
I am the tiger

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights

I am behind you, I'll always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me,
I am the tiger

The city is a prison, you never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys
Look into the shadows and you'll see the shape
Of me

I am behind you, I'll always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me,
I am the tiger

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights

I am behind you, I'll always find you,
I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me,
I am the tiger
And if I meet you, what if I eat you,
I am the tiger I am behind you, I'll always find you,
I am the tiger, Tiger, TIGER, TIGER!!!

Waterloo

My my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waterloo -
Finally facing my Waterloo
