Waiting For The Sirens' Call

HEY JOE

Hey Joe what you're doing?
It seems like it's all going wrong
There's a storm in the sky passing over
And it looks like it's going to be strong
You've got eyes like an old wounded soldier
They cry tears to be lost in the wind

Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
What are your gonna do?

I'll look for you
I'll get you home
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
I've got to find you (Whatever you do)

I'll look for you
I'll take you there
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
Whatever I do (Whatever you do)

Hey Joe what you're doing?
They say you don't care anymore
You had your heart broke by a woman
Now it doesn't work anymore

She said that you
had it coming
That you were no good
from the start

Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Time to go home

I'll look for you
I'll get you home
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
I've got to find you (Whatever you do)

I'll look for you
I'll take you there
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)

HEY NOW WHAT YOU DOING

Hey now what you doing
Don't go down the road to ruin
Look back at where you came from
Count to ten before you go wrong

You had the brightest future
Writing songs on your computer
But you couldn't walk the extra mile
And now your life is running wild

You've gotta hold
your head up high
You know it's not
too late to try
You've gotta lift
that heavy load
You've gotta get
back in
control

The things you say to me
What is it that your eyes see
Is it love or is it hate
Banging on an opened gate?

Hey now, who's that with you
What's that thing I saw him give you
Turn around don't come no closer
You took it from my shoulder holster

You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control

You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control

Why don't you put
that gun
right down
Before you kill
the love
you found

Hey now what you doing (what you doing)
Don't go down the road to ruin

WAITING FOR THE SIRENS' CALL

What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea?
Waiting for the sirens call
I've never seen it here before

There she plies a lonely trail
Cutting through the breaking waves
Drifting slowly from her course
She is lost forever more

We all want some kind of love
But sometimes it's not enough
To the wall and through the door
With a stranger on the floor

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away

I got it all wrong
Cause you were not wrong one
And I don't
know where
to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

Gotta catch a midnight train
First to Paris then to Spain
Travel with a document
All across the continent

City life is flying by
The wheels are turning all around
Get on board, we can't be late
Our destination cannot wait

All the stars and all the worlds
Filling up this universe
Could never be as close as us
Will never shine as bright on us

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away

I got it all wrong
Cause you were not the wrong one
And I don't know where
to turn
when you're gone
When you're gone

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away

I got it all wrong
Cause you were not wrong one
And I don't know where
to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

How many times
must I lose my
way, hey
How many words
do I have to
say, hey
What can I do
just to make you
see
That you're so good
for a man like....
A man like me.

KRAFTY

Some people get up at the break of day
"Gotta go to work before it gets too late,
Sitting in a car, I'm driving down the road"
It ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we live in today
But is it where you wanna be ?
And is it what you wanna do ?

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go

You've got to look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that TV you just don't care

They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
And this is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go

Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
Maybe we'll get it right (Maybe we'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I can change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go

I TOLD YOU SO

It's been ten long years
since I've been home
I've been waiting here with nowhere to go
It's an occupation
I don't like
But it pays the rent and turns on the light
(all right)

I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose and run away with me
We'll go out every night,
I'll be there by your side,
And we'll all get high down the Old Westside.

If it ain't the job and it ain't the place,
But I must stay for your pretty face,
It's a bad reaction,
I can't fix,
You caught me with
those feline tricks.

And I told you so:
It's a crazy world
For a mixed up guy
And a no-good girl

And I told you so:
It's a crazy world
For a mixed up guy
With a no-good girl

(Take her, take the world)

I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose and run away with me
(run away)
We'll go out every night
I'll be there by your side
And we'll all get high down the Old Westside
down the Old Westside
down the Old Westside
down the Old Westside

(Take the world)
(Take the world)

MORNING NIGHT AND DAY

One time didn't do it
Two times didn't feel quite right
I didn't know where i was going
I just knew that i would be alright

I woke up in a druken haze
The sun shone through my window pane
I said that i'd never do it again
What kind of fool do you think i am?

It happens
It always seems to happen
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Give me satisfaction
Send me to my fate
Morning night and day

I had a good time late last night
I didn't think it would ever end
I walked home in the broad day light
Couldn't get a cab at half past five

One drink wouldnīt do it
Two drinks are far too much
I didnīt know what i was doing
I hiit the floor in a pile of dust

It happens
It always seems to happen
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Give me satisfaction
Send me to my fate
Morning night and day

So if you think that it wonīt get you
Well think again friend 'cause it's not true
In my case, it was not my fault
Other people made that call

One time didnīt do it
Two times didnīt feel quite right

It happens
It always seems to happen
No matter what I say
Morning night and day
I just want some action
Need some satisfaction
Before it gets too late
Send me to my fate
Morning night and day

DRACULA's CASTLE

what's the matter here?
something ain't right
tell me it's not true
tell me it's all right

there was a time i'd run around for you
get down on my knees
i swear it's true
but you came in the night
and took my heart
to dracula's castle
in the dark

now i gotta tell you
now you've gotta know
i want you to stay
but you're gonna go
don't leave leave me alone
you'll tear me apart
you're in control

so goodbye love
you were not real
you came to stay
but now you leave
i can't explain
the way you feel
we once stood high
but now we kneel

you can't keep on running
how far do you think you'll get
you've got the world if you want it
I ain't done with you yet

i work hard just to keep you by my side
everyday and almost every night
in the end you took away my heart
left me alone (well maybe ???)

so goodbye love
you were not real
you came to stay
but now you leave
i can't explain
the way you feel
we once stood high
but now we kneel

so goodbye love
you were not real
you came to stay
but now you leave
i can't explain
the way you feel
we once stood high
but now we kneel

JETSTREAM

(It's only one more day)

Can you wait
My plane will be arriving shortly
Right there at the gate (mmm-mmm-mmm, yeah)
I pray that you'll be waiting right there for me

This time could be what
We've both been searching for
Our whole lives waking up
And coming back for more

(Leave your baggage behind, you won't need it tonight, enjoy your flight)

J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)

You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)

We're so high
I'm watching all the clouds drift by below me
We should try
It's been so long since I made you cry
"Long-Live-Love"
I just can't get enough of you
I need that engines' push
It's gonna take me home to you

J-E-T (J-E-T)
You are so good for me (You are so good for me)
You are my jetstream lover
You're how I wanna be (Just how I wanna be baby)

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy...
...Home with me.

But you're gone
(But you're gone)
Don't let it go
(Don't let it go)
If you don't try
(If you don't try)
How will you know?
(How will you know?)

GUILT IS A USELESS EMOTION

Just another day in the week
Waiting for an opportunity to step in front of me
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Searching for another place in another time

Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be caught
Real love can't be sold
It's another colour than gold

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it ?
(I want your love) How can you deny it ?
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

Standing on top of the world
Thinking of the joy you bring when you do that thing to me
You sure know a lot for a girl
You could bring the good times back, get me on the track

Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be caught
Real love can't be sold
It's another colour than gold

I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it ?
(I want your love) How can you deny it ?
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it ?
(I want your love) How can you deny it ?
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong


TURN

It's a hard way
to come home
You've got me on
my knees
The walls are tumbling down
They're falling like
the leaves.

Days turn into months and years, I
can't forget that you were here
I feel your presence everywhere
In the corner over there

Turn your eyes from me.
It's time for me to go.
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more
than you know

It's a wild world out there
And nobody gives a damn
In cold blood we don't care
And we don't want to understand

I'm sitting here alone at night
My sleepless eyes are open wide
What do you want me to say
What we had has gone away

The sky is high the road is long
Show me what I should have done
What do you want me to do
Take it all away from you

Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more
than you know

Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more
than you know

WORKING OVERTIME

Who's that over there ?
Looks like he don't care
Almost lost his mind
Too much working overtime

Gotta get out every night
City gates are open wide
Gotta get away from here
Take that car and push that gear

He don't need no-one
He's a rising sun
He won't shed no tears
Got no time to break down here, Hey!

He's going nowhere fast
Just a piece of dirty trash
All alone
by himself
He don't need nobody else

Walking down the street
So much going on
People everywhere
Look at him but they don't care

See that world out there
Make it go away
You can't change his mind
Too much working overtime
Hey! overtime [5x]
Overtime [4x]

He crossed that picket line
In trouble all the time
Where did it all go wrong ?
House music all night long

All those girls out there
Looking for the one
Do they really care ?
Could they just be having fun ?

He did all he could
Tried to get it right
Somewhere he went wrong
Too much working overtime
Hey! overtime [5x]
Overtime [4x]
