And now the marriage vow is very sacred
The man has put us together now
You ought to make it stick together
Come on, come on and stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never

But now you never miss your water till your well runs dry
Come on now baby give our love a try
Let's stick together, c'mon c'mon let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never

Then if you're stuck for a while consider our child
How can it be happy without its ma and pa
Let's stick together, c'mon c'mon let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never

I'm in with the "In" crowd
I go where the "In" crowd goes
I'm in with the "In" crowd
And I know what the "In" crowd knows (How to have fun!)
Any time of the year, don't you hear? (How to have fun!)
Dressin' fine, makin' time
We breeze up and down the street
We get respect from people we meet
They make way day or night
They know the "In" crowd is out of sight

I'm in with the "In" crowd
I know ev'ry latest dance
When you're in with "In" crowd
It's easy to find romance (And we work out!)
At a spot where the beat's really hot (And we work out!)
If it's square we ain't there
We make ev'ry minute count
Our share is always the biggest amount
Other guys imitate us
But the original's still the greatest

We got our own way of walkin
We got our way of talkin' (Gotta have fun!)
Any time of the year, don't you hear (Gotta have fun!)
Spendin' cash, talkin' trash
Girl, I'll show you a real good time
Come on with me and leave your troubles behind
I don't care where you've been
You ain't been nowhere till you been in with "In" crowd

. . .


Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said "it's love" you said "alright"
It's funny how I could never cry
Until tonight and you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?

Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away

Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark, off the wall
Let the strobe light up them all
I close my close and dance till dawn

Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away, dance away, dance away

Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
Off the street onto the floor
There was I - many times a fool
I hope and pray, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough

Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache

. . .


O angel eyes - am I deceived or did you sigh ?
For all I know you let your love light shine on me

O angel eyes - you never close, who's got the time ?
Well I can't wait until your love light shines on me

O angel eyes - on the wing and open wide
No matter now how high the moon shines down on me

Angel, angel eyes, angel eyes
Angel, angel eyes
Angel, angel eyes, angel eyes
Angel, angel eyes, angel eyes
Angel, angel eyes, angel eyes
Angel

Put your sweet lips a little closer
To the phone
And let's pretend that we're together
All alone
I'll tell the man to turn the juke-box
Way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go

Whisper to me tell me do
You love me true
Or is he holding you
The way I do?
Tho' love is blind make up your mind
I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him
He'll have to go

You can't say the words I want to hear
While you're with some other man
If you want me answer "yes" or "no"
Darling I will understand

You can't say the words I want to hear
While you're with some other man
If you want me answer "yes" or "no"
Darling I will understand

So put your sweet lips a little closer
To the phone and let's pretend
That we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the juke-box
Way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go

My girl Friday she no square
She like lotus blossom in her hair
Be-bop records and something new
Sometimes borrowed but she's never blue
Oh no........not Tokyo Joe

Way past midnight - she not home
She cut the ice down the Danger Zone
Water-tight dresses - she don't care
A trifle risqué, a tart, no sir........
Oh no........sounds like Tokyo Joe

Geisha girl show you she adore you
Two oriental eyes implore you
Femme fatale or ingenue?
She very cunning, fiendish clever
Geisha girl suffer many times a fool
Sayonara moon
When all the world's a stage, oh where are you?

Tokyo Rose on the radio
Or Diz 'n Bird puttin' on the moan
Tappin' out telexes to Tupelo
Dear John, doh ra me fah so?
Let's go........call for Tokyo Joe

Walkin' tall down the Danger Zone
She hokey-kokey till the cows come home
Big shot - from the hip - neon cool
Say, when you've been around, what's left to do?
Don't know? Ask Tokyo Joe

So inscrutable her reply
"Ask no question and tell me no lie"

GI boys howlin' out for more
VIP'S purrin' "je t'adore"........
Ah so........that's Tokyo Joe

(Ferry)

Somebody told me
Just the other day
That you're leaving me
We're through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you'd change your mind
I'm sure
Don't want to hear
What's going on
I don't care
What's new
Don't want to know
About anything
'Cause all I want
Is you
Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don't want to know
About one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All I want is
The real thing
And a night that lasts
For years.
If you ever change your mind
I've a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L'amour, toujours l'amour...
Don't want to learn
About etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should I try
To talk correct
Like they do
In another scenes
Say no more
About imagery
You're starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course I can't refuse
All I want is you
Oo oo I'm all cracked up on you.

. . .


I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me any more
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

. . .


Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in ev'ry crowd

That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame

Kiss one girl - kiss another
Kiss them all but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now, but that won't last

That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame

. . .


Mama says truth is all that matters
Lying 'n' deceiving is a sin
Drifting through a world that's torn and tattered
Every thought I have don't mean a thing

Mama says love is all that matters
Beauty should be deeper than your skin
Living for the moment - lips and lashes
Will I ever find my way again

Mama says only stormy weather
Don't know why there's no sun in the sky
Footsteps in the dark come together
Got to keep on moving or I'll die

. . .


T'ain't no big t'ing
to wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big t'ing
The toll of the bell

Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place

Jump up bubble up - what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score

Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boys meet girl, where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug got a hook in me

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh
Oh, love is, love is, love is the drug

. . .


Tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
And there's no escape

To need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor

You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're restless hearted
Not the chained and bound

The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same

The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream

Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile

No-I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

. . .


I'm a stranger far from home, won't you help me
Gotta find where I belong, help me
I don't wanna be alone, won't you help me
Gotta find the way to home, help me

I'm a prisoner to the night
Life is hell in the light of the day
But where do I hide from myself
The shadow closes in
There's a power in love
There's a danger in love
But I need love to help me find a way

I'm a stranger far from home, won't you help me
Gotta find where I belong, help me
I'm a victim of the night
Sold my soul, is it never gonna pay?
I beg you now, save me from myself
Time is closing in
There's a power in love
There's danger in love
But I need love to help me find the way

I'm a stranger far from home, won't you help me
Gotta find where I belong, help me
'Cause I don't wanna be alone, don't wanna be
Gotta find a way to home, help me

Bricks without a mortar
Tearing me apart
It turns up to down
The night time into day
Wake me in the morning
Tell me from the heart
That I need love to help me find a way

I'm a stranger far from home, help me
Gotta find where I belong, help me
'Cause I don't wanna be alone, I don't wanna be
Gotta find a way to home, help me

. . .


Here in the hush of evenin'
On a night in June
Overhearin' conversations
Bayin' at the moon
Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's
Sweet to my ear
This is tomorrow's callin'
Wishin` you were here

Layin' in my hotel bedroom
Feelin' ceilin' blues
Wall to wall a TV's twitchin'
Clearly not a muse
Then flashin' through the interference
Beams a thousand tunes
This is tomorrow callin'
What have I to lose?

Truckin' by the railway station
I'm on the road again
Steerin' clear of all termination
Unto the point of pain
When steamin' thru on cue
I hear that wailin' whistle blow
If this is tomorrow callin'
Oh what a way to go!

Day to day you live old fashioned
Hi-toned, fancy free
A double take, an image-spittin'
Tailored to a T
While history is tellin' you
The same old thing
This is tomorrow callin'
Let's stick a new oar in
This is tomorrow callin'
Y'all 'n
Come on in

. . .


Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion

Avalon

When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture's changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it

Avalon
Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing

When you bossanova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere

Avalon [12x]
