There's a young man sitting down by the side of the road He's got all the time in the world but he's got nowhere to go Oh brother, won't you lend me a hand? Spoken with his eyes, he hopes you understand. That I'm just like you, but I've fallen by the way I'm just like you, I dream of better days When the light starts to fade, when the day is done I'll still be just like you I'm somebody's son. The loneliest place I know is on a crowded street Where you'd kill for a smile as soon as something to eat Oh Sister! Won't you lend me a hand? Spoken with the courage of too few a man That I'm just like you, but I've fallen by the way I'm just like you, I dream of better days When the light starts to fade, when the day is done I'll still be just like you I'm somebody's son. And yes, I understand what the difference is between What a man wants and what he really needs I don't need a car, a boat or a big screen TV It would be nice I guess, but what does it really mean? I'm happy with the air that I breathe today Things could be better but, ain't that always the way. ain't it always the way! I'm just like you, but I've fallen by the way I'm just like you, I dream of better days When the light starts to fade, when the day is done I'll still be just like you I'm somebody's son. I'm somebody's son I'm somebody's son.

City Lights 03:14
Darling kiss me tonight under city lights and just for that moment I'll be glad I'm alive this is not what I'm like but somehow it's alright I lie awake and I watch you sleep watch your body rise and fall when you breathe I feel your heart beating, I feels unbelievable In the night, oh when the night was mine When the night was mine Darling hold me tight until the morning light breaks the window and there's just you and I I'm hoping that I might be here for a while And if just for a while We might steal the world from between the cracks We'll take what we want, we won't look back To the night, oh when the night was mine Oh the night, when the night was mine And those city lights, yeah the lights burn my eyes oh in the night, when the night was mine. Darling kiss me tonight under city lights and just for that moment I'll be glad I'm alive.

Carried Away 04:03
Jenny was a friend of mine from another life borne of a little town lost in time I moved to the city and fell in love beneath the lights I wonder how she's doing now, is she doing alright? She knows this town, knows these streets she'll tell you just how good it feels to be part of something beautiful and surreal Getting carried away on the breeze. Danny was the victim of his own circumstance never dreamt in a thousand years he'd be given another chance He was all about fortune, all about fame but the cards were marked in advance he was forced to play the game He knows this town, knows these streets he'll tell you just how good it feels to be part of something beautiful and surreal Getting carried away on the breeze. I was always searching out of my reach never did see the ground hidden right beneath my feet you were always telling me there was more that I could see but I was a small town boy with a small town mentality. I know this town, know these streets I'll tell you just how good it feels to be part of something beautiful and surreal I know this town, know these streets I'll tell you just how good it feels to be part of something beautiful and free Getting carried away on the breeze. Getting carried away on the breeze.

Is there anybody out there, hears the voice of the man on the street? He's been walking through his own nightmare now even the pavement doesn't feel safe under his feet Cos they're gunna take what you've got and sell the damn lot gunna fill up their pockets with silver and gold They're gunna take what you've got left and put you on the shelf so don't you ever get sick and don't you ever, ever grow old. He's an honest man, far from perfect and he always works so hard to earn his keep while the greed of those above remains unchecked and the life his fathers' made slips out of reach. Cos they're gunna take what you've got and sell the damn lot gunna fill up their pockets with silver and gold They're gunna take what you've got left and put you on the shelf so don't you ever get sick and don't you ever, ever grow old. and we know where you live and we own your pride we'll tell you just about anything to have you on our side we'll cover our trail with lies upon lies then tell you the truth with the sun in your eyes. Cos they're gunna take what you've got and sell the damn lot gunna fill up their pockets with silver and gold They're gunna take what you've got left and put you on the shelf so don't you ever get sick and don't you ever, ever grow old. Is there anybody out there? is there anybody out there?

I've been sitting, day dreaming at the edge of the world waiting for something to happen. the tide will come in and the tide will come out still, I'm waiting for something to happen. The winds of change may be coming in from the north A call to arms should never be ignored When the storm comes in for me my dear you'll find me by the lighthouse at the end of the pier. And whether this ship I'm sailing, may be sinking Is just a matter of opinion. And whoever may know which way the wind blows Is still a matter of opinion. for it is I, who will always be the captain. The winds of change may be coming in from the north A call to arms should never be ignored When the storm comes in for me my dear you'll find me by the lighthouse at the end of the pier. The winds will take me where they please But only I can steer myself to where I need to be. The winds of change may be coming in from the north A call to arms should never be ignored When the storm comes in for me my dear you'll find me by the lighthouse at the end of the pier. When the storm comes in for me my dear will you meet me by the lighthouse at the end of the pier.

Lets open up a bottle of something lets go out and make a lot of noise we'll dance like no one is watching us Cos it's you that I want to enjoy. You gave me your last sip of Jura Felt like the Rolo at the end of the tube I don't mind what I'm drinking, As long as I'm drinking with you. Let me take you out on a mystery tour Let the sunshine light up your face There's never been a time when I've wanted you more Than how I want you today Let me stare into those eyes Will I still see the same shade of blue? Well, I don't mind where I'm going, as long as I get there with you. Let me cover your life in the sweetest roses Rain kisses on the back of your hand I'll write a few lines to show I'm thinking about You putting a smile on this foolish man We'll lose ourselves in anticipation Like all good lovers do I don't mind what I'm thinking As long as I'm thinking of you. I don't mind what I'm drinking I don't mind what I'm thinking I don't mind where I'm going As long as I get there with you.

Oh the morning, bring me promise and surprise take a look inside my soul and you'll see through my disguise we could lose ourselves in reverence, all martyrs form a line I'd be a happy man with nothing more than a minute of your time So lets sit beneath that shady tree and sing our cares away share a drink to life and laughter, long may it reign. Oh the morning, don't take the night away from me I've been quiet for too long now and i'm almost scared to dream cos dreaming makes it distant, it seems so far away and i'm not much for killing time cos it won't come back again So lets sit beneath that shady tree and sing our cares away share a drink to life and laughter, long may it reign. Let it rain down on me Oh the morning, should I take a chance on life? have you ever met a humble fool that didn't like to smile? I may not be a lot of things, an impatient man sometimes I wouldn't ask for all the world, you've got yours and I've got mine So lets sit beneath that shady tree and sing our cares away share a drink to life and laughter, long may it reign. Let it rain down on me.
