George Michael Album

Once I built a railroad, made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a rairoad, now it’s done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it’s done
Brother can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits
Gee, we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodle de dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
I was the kid with the drum
Say don’t you remember, they called me al
It was al all the time
Say don’t you remember, I’m your pal!
Brother can you spare a dime?

Buddy can you spare a dime?

You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets of money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)

you've changed
that sparkle in your eyes has gone
your smile is just a careless yawn
you're breaking my heart, you've changed

you've changed
your kisses are now so blase
you're bored with me in every way
I can't understand you've changed

you've forgotten the word I love you
each memory that we've shared
you ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared

you've changed
you're not the anges I once knew
no need to tell me that we're through
it's all over now, you've changed

you've forgotten the word I love you
each memory that we've shared
you ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared

you've changed
you're not the anges I once knew
no need to tell me that we're through
it's all over now, you've changed
I miss you

my baby don't care for shows
my baby don't care for clothes
my baby just cares for me

my baby don't care for cars and races
my baby don't care for high tone places

Elizabeth Taylor is not his style
and even Ricky Martin's smile
is something he can't see
my baby don't care who knows it
my baby just cares for me

I wonder what's wrong with baby
my baby just cares for
he just says his prayers for
my baby just cares
for me

the first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
and the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
to the dark and endless skies, my love
to the dark and empty skies

the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
like the trembling heart of a captive bird
that was there at my command, my love
that was there at my command

the first time I ever lay with you]
and felt you heart so close to mine
and I knew our joy would fill the world
and would last till the and of time, my love
it would last till the end of time
the first time ever I saw your face
your face, your face

(E.Macoll)

Is there a time for keeping a distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to walk for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colors
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for east 17
Is there a time to turn the mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
It's turn around
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Here she comes
It's turn around
Here she comes

Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
When the night is set to freeze

I remember you
you're the one who made my dreams come true
a few kisses ago

I remember you
you're the one who said I love you too
didn't you know

I remember too
a distant bell
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue

when my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all
then I will tell them I remember you

I remember you
you're the one who made my dreams come true
a few kisses ago

I remember you
you're the one who said I love you too
didn't you know

I remember too
a distant bell
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue
I miss you darling

when my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all
then I will tell them I remember you

(Victor Schertzinger/John H. Mercer)

once I had a secret love
that lived within the heart of me
all too soon my secret love
became impatient to be free

so I told a friendly star
the way that dreamers often do
just how wonderful you are
and why I'm so in love with you

now I shout it from the highest hill
I even told you the golden dafodill
at least my heart's an open door
and my secret love's no secret anymore

now I shout it from the highest hill
I even told you the golden dafodill
at least my heart's an open door
and my secret love's no secret
my secret love's no secret
my secret love's no secret anymore

(Sunny Fain/Paul Webster)

love me, love me, love me, love me
say you do
let me fly away with you
for my love is like the wind
and wild is the wind
wild is the wind

give me more than one caress
satisfy this hungriness
let the wind blow through your heart
oh wild is the wind
wild is the wind

you touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
you kiss me
with your kiss my life begins
you're Spring to me
all things to me
don't you know
you're life itself!

like the leaf
clings to the tree
oh my darling cling to me
for we're like creatures of the wind
and wild is the wind
wild is the wind

you touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
you kiss me
with your kiss my life begins
you're Spring to me
all things to me
don't you know
you're life itself!

like the leaf
clings to the tree
oh my darling cling to me
for we're like creatures of the wind
and wild is the wind
wild is the wind, wild is the wind
wild is the wind, wild is the wind

(Dimitri Tiomkine/Ned Washington)

when you're awake
the things you think
come from the dreams you dream
thought has wings,
and lots of things
are seldom what they see
sometimes you think you've lived before
all that you live today
things you do come back to you
as though they knew the way
oh, the tricks your mind can play

it seems we stood and talked like this before
we looked at each other in the same way then
but I can't remember where or when
the clothes you're wearing and the clothes you wore
the smile you are smiling you were smiling then
but I can't remember where or when
some things that happen for the first time
seem to be happening again
and so it seems that we have met before
and laughed before
and loved before
but who knows where or when

it seems we stood and talked like this before
we looked at each other in the same way then
but I can't remember where or when
the clothes you're wearing and the clothes you wore
the smile you are smiling you were smiling then
but I can't remember where or when
some things that happen for the first time
seem to be happening again
and so it seems that we have met before
and laughed before
and loved before
but who knows where or when

(Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart)
