Your mother always told you
It doesn't matter boy
Cause we are all the same
And then she used to hold you
In the waves of joy
But life is not a game

When you're out there on your own
With no one at your side
And you're feeling all alone
You're all alone

That's when you find out
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody feeds you
On the wrong side of the street
When you're a stranger
You are in danger
On the wrong side of the street

And then as you grow older
You kinda learn to fight
It's the only way you know
And as the nights grow colder
You've got to survive
And the anger starts to grow

That's when you find out
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody feeds you
On the wrong side of the street
When you're a stranger
You are in danger
On the wrong side of the street

You tried so hard to please her
It was all in vain
The prison gates have closed now
If only you could ease her
Ease her of the pain
Cause that's where it hurts the most

That's when you find out
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody feeds you
On the wrong side of the street
When you're a stranger
You are in danger
On the wrong side of the street

Life is slow, but love is fast
Live without a care
Take your time and make it last
There's magic everywhere
Summer's in the air

The nights are cool in St. Tropez
And like a millionaire
Get outta bed and face the day
In an easy chair
Summer's in the air

People dine on wine and cheese
But you are unaware
As you enjoy the sultry breeze
Blowing through your hair
Summer's in the air

My love, where would I be
If you were not there
You and me and the sun and the sea
It's way beyond compare
Summer's in the air

I still remember that song
All the words we knew
When it started we would
Sing the whole night through

We shared a place together
And our records too
Crazy characters
That's me and you

Let me tell you
I had so much fun
The teenage days are gone
But the feeling never ends
And we'll remain the best of friends

No, you didn't care
How your looks could be
It made the people turn their
Heads around to see

When the evening came
So did the magic sound
Let the neighbours know
"Jean Jeanie" is around

I wanna tell you

Life has a way of changing
And so did you
So respectable
Who could believe it's true?

Hey, it doesn't matter
What the others think
Next time the boys are back in town
We'll have a drink

I wanna tell you

The teenage days are gone
But the feeling never ends
And we'll remain the best of friends

Tears fall from the jester's eyes
No sound as the old man dies
Gather round on scared ground
The king has gone

Trumpets sound from the castle walls
There's no sun, a hard rain falls
Men where killed and blood was spilled
In the days of the knights

Hot steel; burning oil
Brave men defended their soil
Children cried while fathers died
The law of the land

Rejoice now the battle is won
All rise for the king his son
Times were rough but the men were tough
In the days of knights

She's charmed by a magic smell
In a place where the spirits dwell
The knight will ride and the stars will guide
To the princess bride

On his quest for the demon land
The wizards dies by the hero's hand
Evil rules in the eyes of the fools
In the days of the knights

Nobody knew the future was ours to hold
Seer of visions, or teller of lies?
What could he do when destiny was foretold
You could see the anguish in his eyes
Get down crescendo

Haunted by fear and dreaming of things to come
A computer-age, and nuclear wars
Shadows appear but where are they comin' from?
And he can't make them go away
Get down crescendo

Nobody cared they treated him like a fool
Whenever he spoke, people turned away
Then they got scared what if it would be true?
The bringer of evil had to die
Get down crescendo

He knew it was time he stood on the brink of fame
His powers were growing, his message would be shared
Killed in his prime nobody knew his name
His life, a crescendo that never peaked
He will always be known as

Poor crescendo capture the rainbow
Embrace the colours, and gather the sunbeams
Poor crescendo let your tears flow
Come sail away, on an ocean of dreams

The earth moved, the water ran free
Then lightning struck
We both knew it was meant to be
So we tried our luck

There was so much love, there was so much pain
In those stormy years
If I could just go back and do it all again
I'd take away your fears

Ooh, do you feel the way I do
When the stars come out at night
There's always you
Ooh, do you feel the same pain too?
Now the scars have almost healed
I know it's true
I'm not over you

Now you've gone and left a space
That's so hard to fill
I hope for you, you have found your place
And I guess I will

There's so many doubts going through my mind
Is this the way that it should be?
People say that love is blind
Well I cannot see

Ooh, do you feel the way I do?
When the stars come out at night
There's always you
Ooh, do you feel the same pain too?
Now the scars have almost healed
I know it's true
I'm not over you

You had all you wanted
At least that's what they told you
But all you ever wanted
Was someone to care for you
And so they left you
And sent you away
To a place so far from home
Where all the children like to play
So why? Did you cry yourself to sleep?

Nobody loved you
At least that's how you felt it
You tried so hard to make the others
Notice you were there
Unlike a lady
You make them look your way
And all the boys were chasing you
They liked the "games" you played
But still you cried yourself to sleep

But now it's over
At least that's how I planned it
And if I had my way
I'd turn those nightmares into dreams
Can you hear the wind blow?
I can hear it all
If you listen very hard
There'll be an answer to your call
I'm right here don't cry yourself to sleep
Oh no, you don't have to
No you don't have to cry yourself to sleep

Look in the mirror
And tell me what you see
A pretty face but tears in your eyes
You keep on dreaming
And let your mind go free
Out in the night, you wander the skies, come on

Bring on the dancers
Let's have a night on the town
Night-time romancers
We're gonna have a night on the town

Your heart is pounding
The clock is much too slow
All fired up and ready to go
Your luck is changing
It's finally coming true
You've got it all, they're waiting for you, come on

Bring on the dancers
Let's have a night on the town
Night-time romancers
We're gonna have a night on the town

Out in the dance floor
The music takes control
Close your eyes and let yourself go
Your blood is rushing
Into your heart and soul
Free yourself, don't ever say no, no

Bring on the dancers
Let's have a night on the town
Night-time romancers
We're gonna have a night on the town

On that day at the break of dawn
Her mother died when she was born
Her father has blamed her, it was really sad
He found a new woman, they had a little boy
He got all the affection that she never had no no no

Little miss understood
She ain't no beauty but she looks quite good
Underneath that pink disguise
Little miss understood
She's the shame of the neighbourhood
If they would only realize

In front of all the kids at school
She knew she had to play it cool
To get the attention she was craving for
She wore a real tight dress
And with an air as if she couldn't care less
She was walking the streets like never before no no no

Little miss understood
She ain't no beauty but she looks quite good
Underneath that pink disguise
Little miss understood
She's the shame of the neighbourhood
If they would only realize
If they would only realize

She left home still under-age
And got caught in a golden cage
He said he'd take care of her
Well in a way he did
Ah he really thought that his love was true
And so she did what he told her to do
It was love for money , and money for love no no no

Little miss understood
She didn't behave like a little girl should
She's living her life like it's a game
Little miss understood
She'd like to change if she only could
But she will always be the same

Little miss understood
She ain't no beauty but she looks quite good
Underneath that pink disguise
Little miss understood
She's the shame of the neighbourhood
If they would only realize
If they would only realize

Baby you know I ain't lettin' you go
So whatever you say I'm gonna make you stay
Baby is it true, did you find someone new
I couldn't take it anymore if you'd walk out that door

Well I ain't got nothing to say to you
And I don't know what I should do
But our love keeps slippin' away
I'm a-losin' you
Well I ain't got nothing to give to you
And I taught you all that I knew
But our love keeps slippin' away
I'm a-losin' you

Baby it's hard I'm falling apart
Don't you leave me behind I'm a-losin' my mind

Well I ain't got nothing to say to you
And I don't know what I should do
But our love keeps slippin' away
I'm a-losin' you
Well I ain't got nothing to give to you
And I taught you all that I knew
But our love keeps slippin' away
I'm a-losin' you

I'd give all that I own, just to get you alone
Just a moment with you, if that could be true
But you push me away, you wanna call it a day
And that feeling inside, I could never hide

Well I ain't got nothing to say to you
And I don't know what I should do
But our love keeps slippin' away
I'm a-losin' you
Well I ain't got nothing to give to you
And I taught you all that I knew
But our love keeps slippin' away
I'm a-losin' you

I hear a voice from the past
And my heart is beating fast
And everything around me fades away
I still can't believe it's true
Tell me why did it have to be you
Imagine you were here with us today

Yes I know, you were a dreamer
But your dreams have taken shape
And when it's all too much I escape
I escape now babe, let me escape

I heard the news, it couldn't be worse
And all across the universe
People came together over you
We're gonna have to carry that weight
The way you met your terrible fate
That day in the life when the bullets flew

Yes I know, you were a dreamer
But your dreams have taken shape
And when it's all too much I escape
I escape now babe, let me escape

All you were saying
Was give peace a chance
And when you were playing
You made everybody dance
You want a revolution?
Well all you need is love
And all I wanna do is listen to you
That's how I escape

Late at night, begin December
Came a shock we will all remember
It must have been about thirteen years ago
You shine on like a star
You move the hands on my guitar
And while it gently weeps, the tears will flow

Yes I know, you were a dreamer
But your dreams have taken shape
And when it's all too much I escape
I escape now babe, let me escape

My daddy was a gambler
He gambled with his life
He didn't give a damn about his wife
(So) she left him in the night time
While hiding from the rain
I was born on the midnight train

Grew up a desperado
Grew hair on my chest
They said I was the terror of the west
(Well) I didn't have no money
And I didn't have no brain
So I robbed the midnight train

Well the sheriff formed a posse, Apaches on my trail
He said "Hey dude, I'll throw you in my jail"
Now I'm sitting here tired
To ball and chain
I've been caught on the midnight train

They made me work the railroad
For 16 hours a day
I knew I just had to get away
(Now) how I pulled it off
I still can't explain
But I escaped the midnight train

Now if you would have been there
Aboard the midnight train
He was rumoured to have died or gone insane
Then somebody be smiling
No one knew his name
But he was born on the midnight train

Hey you country girl
You look so hot you'd make a straight hair curl
You've got everything it takes, oh no
To make my skin crawl, a tear-drop fall
Whatever I want she's got it all
I can't help it I'm in love love love
With a country girl
I'm a city boy

You don't seem to be impressed
Could it be the way I'm dressed
It doesn't matter much to me, oh no
So if you want I'll just deny my roots
Ride a horse and wear cowboy-boots
I'll do anything for love love love
And a country girl

Could it be you don't want me baby
You don't care at all?
The way you push them cows around
It drives me up the wall
I even thought about movin'
To Memphis Tennessee
Tell me are you lonesome babe
Don't be cruel to me
My country girl
I'm a city boy

And after all I must admit
You looked okay, but you smelled like shit
I won't have anything to do with you
So now I'll never watch
John Wayne again
Throw my Dylan's in the garbage-can
Don't you ever fall in love love love

Could it be you don't want me baby
You don't care at all?
The way you push them cows around
It drives me up the wall
I even thought about movin'
To Memphis Tennessee
Tell me are you lonesome babe
Don't be cruel to me
My country girl
I'm a city boy

[Instrumental]
