HELLO
(Eric Troyer, Bev Bevan, Pete Haycock, Neil Lockwood)
Hello, hello, it's great to see you once again
It's been so long,
We were such friends
Long time ago.
Hello, hello, your smiling face,
Your warm embrace,
We've been apart for too long,
It felt so wrong.
Nice to know, you're coming over,
Nice to know, the wait is over
Please say...Hello, hello,
Is that a smile on your face?
Here's a kiss just in case,
This one's for you.
Hello, hello, it's great to see you once again,
It's been so long, we were such friends,
A long, long time ago.
HONEST MEN
(E. Troyer)
We're just a stone's throw
From burning hellfire
Does anybody know
Where did all the heroes go?
We've had our fill of
The gallery of scoundrels
The leaders of our world
Those power-hungry liars.
Rise up and sound the sirens!
Send out the searching parties!
All we need is a few good men.
Chorus:
Send the S.O.S. and red alert
All across the universe:
Calling all honest men
S.O.S. emergency
Sinking fast and getting worse
Where's your honest men?
In some village far away
Or in a little town pub
High on a mountain top
There must be an honest man
Calling all honest men.
Throw out the tyrants
The aged fat cats
Outlived their usefulness
They have led us to this mess.
Make them answer
(Hold them) to their promises
And throw them in the street
If they won't tell the truth
(Chorus)
To your stations!
Man the ramparts, the barricades!
We need new heroes urgently
We need a few good honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men.
Call to him, he lives next door
Across the street, on the upper floor
It's our only hope
We need him now.
(Chorus)
Strike a blow, save the ship
We need a few good honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men.
S.O.S. across the universe
Where's your honest...
We need your honest...
Calling all honest men.
Calling out all over the world (sending out an S.O.S.)
Where's your honest men?
Looking out all over the world (calling out to save the world)
We need your honest men.
Calling our all over the world (sending out a red alert)
Where's your honest men?
Looking out all over the world (calling out to save the world)
We need your honest men.
Honest men, oohh
Calling all honest men
Save the world, oohh
Calling all honest men
Honest men, oohh...
EVERY NIGHT
(Eric Troyer, Ken Cummings)
I've got a rocket for your parade
Heavy breathing for you, made in the shade
I've got an itch that just won't quit
I see you wear that dress that just don't fit
I see you walking with that two-bit boy
I see you laughing, but I'm no toy.
Chorus:
I know what you do every night, every night
I know what you do when you turn out the light
I see what you do every night, every night
And I want you to do it to me.
You learned that jive on MTV
That mumbo jumbo just don't work on me
Slam, bam, baby alakazam
Don't disrespect me, I'm a standup man
I see you laughing when you slam the door
I see you with him, I can't take any more.
(Chorus)
Come to your senses baby, don't hold out
Some day you'll want me, don't act so proud
We've got a mutual circumstance
Come on, hold on, give me a chance.
I see you laughing when you slam the door
I see you with him, I can't take any more.
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)...
ONCE UPON A TIME
(Bev Bevan, Pete Haycock)
Meeting you in the park and talking in the pouring rain
(Oh, what a time we had)
Running home in the dark and pretending it was all a game
(Oh, what a time)
Those were the days
Those were the days.
Memories of you have really left a scar
And all that I can do now is to love you from afar
'Cos everything was fine
That once upon a time.
Asking you if you'd stay, not believing that you might
(Oh, what a time we had)
Missing you through the day, dreaming of you through the night
(Oh, what a time)
Those were the days
Those were the days.
Though there's no denying that you're nowhere around
I can't help myself from looking for your face amongst the crowd
'Cos everything was fine
That once upon a time.
Have to leave the past behind and get on the right track
Though there's nothing I can say that will ever bring you back.
'But everything was fine
That once upon a time.
I wish I knew for how much longer the misery will last
Can't control these feelings, I'm still living in the past
'Cos everything was fine
That once upon a time.
I've got to build my life again, try to find somebody new
But I know inside my heart of hearts there'll be no replacing you
But everything was fine
That once upon a time.
HEARTBREAKERS
(Bev Bevan, Pete Haycock)
(She's a real heartbreaker and she brings on the rain)
One look and you know she's trouble
Ruby red lips and flashing eyes
Can't resist, you've just go to have her
Oohh, it's a feeling that you can't disguise.
You're booked on a one-way ticket
I can tell that you're going nowhere
She's a drug and you're not gonna kick it
Heartbreak City, she'll take you there.
Chorus:
I know, I've been here before
I've read the script, I know the score
There's no rules, she plays her own game
She's a real heartbreaker, and she brings on the rain
Rain -- falling from the skies, falling from your eyes
Rain -- falling from the skies, falling from your eyes.
Thunder, can't you hear it crashing?
Storm clouds are waiting for you up ahead
Lightning, can't you see it flashing?
You haven't listened to a word I've said.
(Chorus)
Rain -- falling from the skies, falling from your eyes
Rain -- falling from the skies, falling from your eyes
Rain, rain.
Rain -- falling from the skies, falling from your eyes
Rain -- falling from the skies, falling from your eyes
Rain -- she's a real heartbreaker, heartbreaker
Rain -- falling from the sky, falling from your eyes.
THOUSAND EYES
(Eric Troyer)
Chorus:
The night has a thousand eyes
And they're all on you
The night has a thousand ears
Listening to your cries
Let it work its magic
Let it work its magic
The night has a thousand eyes.
You, you had to slip away
After all that's gone
You, you, you said all that you could say
And slipped into the dark
I could not let you go
Alone into the night
I had to let you know
The magic there in the night air.
(Chorus)
You, somewhere out in the dark
Runs a wounded heart
You, stumbling in the night
In the air of afterlight
You take along your fears
Did you waste these years?
And did they warn you
Of the night zone, all alone?
(Chorus)
Sometimes it takes a fight
To keep everything on track
And sometimes it takes some starry night
To bring the magic back
This was the time and this was the place
The starlight on your face
And the moon on the rise.
The night has a thousand eyes, night has a thousand eyes
The night has a thousand ears, night has a thousand eyes
Let it work its magic
The night has a thousand eyes.
Starlight in the magic, the night has a thousand eyes
Starlight, starbright, magic!
The night has a thousand eyes.
Starlight in the magic, the night has a thousand eyes
Starlight, starbright, magic!
The night has a thousand eyes
FOR A LOVE OF A WOMAN
(Eric Troyer)
No one can say how she caught my eye
To this day, I don't know why
Oh well, her eyes -- so much like diamonds
And her heart -- so much like gold.
I knew that I'd win her in time
When I felt her heart beat close to mine
And once in her arms, then I knew anything I would do...
Chorus:
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman
I pray that I never have to walk alone
I have a love of my own.
I thank my stars I've found an angel
Never again will I walk alone
She brought a light into my heart
Like the brightest star that's ever shone.
Money and gold to a king
When you're alone, don't mean a thing
And once in her arms, then I knew anything I would do
(Chorus)
I could paint a masterpiece
I could walk through fire
