Intro: Am

Living in this fantasy, working with reality
I have come back here again to touch the sun and feel the rain
Invitations, conversations, friends to make me strong
I've seen that light and I watch it shine, living in the world

Well, I believe that destiny is written in the darkest sea
With every movement that we make and every footstep that we take
Inspirations, correlations, where we’re meant to be
There’s so much more that I want to know, living in the world

Oh, oh, still the hunger, oh, oh, to see it all
Oh, oh, and the wonder of the sunlight in the morning
And the moonlight on the bay, I’m singing now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, living in the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Living in the world

Don’t believe a word you read and only half of what you see
’Cause there are those who make it up just to make that extra buck
And when they write the poison, they will surely get it back
And I’m still here and I’m gonna stay, living in the world

Oh, oh, in the spotlight, oh, oh, it can be hard
Oh, oh, it’s a hot light, when it’s shining on the tough
That’s when the tough begin to shine, I’m singing now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, living in the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Living in the world

I’ve seen the wonder of the forest in the light
I’ve seen the miracle of winter birds in flight
I’ve seen the universe come flashing in the night
Living in the world

And when they call me, I will be waiting
When it’s time to go
But I’m not ready yet!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, living in the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Living in the world

Living in the world
Living in the world
Living in the world
Living in, living in, living in the world
Living in, living in, living in the world
Living in, living in, living in the world

Intro:


I left my home by the ocean
I left my love by the sea
Dreaming I could sing my songs in the city

I thought the streets of London
Would be paved with gold
But the only gold was in the setting sun
And these city nights are so cold

And you know that feeling when you’ve been too long
And you wanna go home and it’s so strong

I'm going home, I’m going home
Oh, the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And I must get on the road

You'll be alone, you’ll be alone
But if you’re crying to the rhythm of the falling rain
It’s alright, I’m on my way
I'm going home, I’m going home, yeah

Jilly she’s got a smile in her eye
And a bed just right for two
Silly how much I love her, but I do

Sunny days will be here again
She whispered in my ear
Oh Lord, it’s funny how much I’ve missed the country rain
That’s a sound I love to hear

And I know that feeling and I’ve been too long
And I wanna go home and it’s so strong

I'm going home, I’m going home
Oh, the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And I must get on the road

You'll be alone, you’ll be alone
But if you’re crying to the rhythm of the falling rain
It’s alright, I’m on my way
I'm going home, I’m going home, yeah

Oh, hold on darling
I’m on the way
Hold on darling
I’m coming home
Hold on darling
Hold on darling
Hold on darling
I’m coming home
I'm on the way
I’m coming home…

Far beyond these castle walls

Intro: C

Plenty of tim[G/B]e to t[Gm/Bb]urn out the light,
I want to keep this feeling inside, for a little more,
It must be a Daddy’s pride and joy[Am/G], a little baby boy,
Is lying in my arms here tonight,

Tears in my [G/B]eyes when I s[Gm/Bb]aw you being born,
So much emotion, words cannot form, so I’ll let it be,
Only to say it’s you and me[Am/G], for eternity,
I wish you a wonderful life,

And I’m only,
I’m only,
I’m only,
Just a word away,

I will be n[G/B]ear when[Gm/Bb]ever you call,
Pick you up whenever you fall, ‘till the day will come,
You’ll think you’re out there on your own[Am/G], but you’re not alone,
Remember that I will be here,

And I’m only,
I’m only,
I’m only,
Just a word away,

[G/B] [Gm/Bb]
Your sister Rosanna’s fast asleep[Am/G], so it’s time for me,
To whisper I love you, goodnight,

And I’m only,
I’m only,
I’m only,
Just a word away,[Am/G]
Just a word away.
Mmm, [G/B]mmm, [Gm/Bb]mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm,

Intro: Dm – Bbmaj7 – Fmaj7 – Bb – Dm – Bbmaj7- Fmaj7 – Csus – C

The cafes are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season holiday town in the rain,
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
And my girl is on a plane, home…

I’m never going to love another, the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it’s true, but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,

Oh Rom[Fmaj7/A]eo is stand[-]in[Bb/C]g in the rain,
And I [Fmaj7/A]know that I[-] h[Bb/C]ave let her____ slip away,

Fatal hesitation, ah, fatal hesitation…

I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn’t be so, no, no;

Oh Rom[Fmaj7/A]eo is stand[-]in[Bb/C]g in the rain,
And I,[Fmaj7/A] yes I know[-], [Bb/C]I have let her slip away,

Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,

I’m[Eb/Db] going[F/C] to get on my____ boat and sail away;

Oh Rom[Fmaj7/A]eo is stand[-]in[Bb/C]g in the rain,
And I,[Fmaj7/A] yes I know[-], [Bb/C]I have let her slip away,

Fatal hesitation, Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation, Fatal hesitation…

I’m going to read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head,
It doesn’t matter any more,
I’m going to miss her just a little bit,

Just a little bit…

Intro: G

I can tell by your eyes you’ve had one of those days
When nothing is easy everything is a strain
The endless queues and traffic
It always seems to be this way

I can tell by your face you need one of those nights
To really go crazy, let the woman inside
Come on out instead of hiding
The way you have to everyday
So now it’s time to set her free again

I really love it when you lose control
I really love it when you’re letting go
You’re really laughing from your heart and soul
It’s a wonderful kind of a feeling
It’s the best kind of a feeling
Just letting go

I can tell by your face you’ve had a terrible time
Spending your day just hanging on the line
Trying to talk to someone human
Not a multi choice machine

So put on your makeup and your dancing shoes
A kiss and a hug to get rid of the blues
There is no point looking backwards
‘Cos it can only bring you down
So let’s go now and really hit the town

I really love it when you lose control
I really love it when you’re letting go
You’re really laughing from your heart and soul
It’s a wonderful night for the feeling
It’s the best time for the feeling
Just letting go

What a wonderful night for the feeling
It’s the best time for the feeling
Just letting go
You really love it when I take control
You really love it when you’re letting go
You’re really laughing from your heart and soul
I really love it when you’re letting go
Letting go

Intro: Dm - C - Dm - C - Dm - C - Dm - C - Dm

It was way after midnight, all the village was asleep,
All except for one young villain through the night did creep,
He went down to the church, started ringing the bell,
Everybod[-]y ca[-]me ou[-]t lo[-]oking, running like the hounds of hell;

“There are lights in the castle, they are blazing all night long,
Let me tell you everybody there is something going on,”
So they took to the torches and went over the wall,
Someone went ahead to tell of horrors hiding in the hall;

”What did you see?” – “I saw an apparition,”
”What did you see?” – “A monster on a bed,”
”What did you see?” – “I saw an old magician,
Waking up the living from the dead!”

Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man,
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect,

C Dm - C - Dm - C - Dm - C - Dm - C - Dm

Making the perfect man!

So they called for the doctor, the doctor said, “iT’s strange,
He’s got pistols on his finger, he’s got love on the brain,
He’s got a tongue good for lying and the legs to run away,
He will fool all the people all the time some day!”

“What will he be?” – “A leader of the country,”
“What will he be?” – “A member of the press,”
“What will he be?” – “A banker selling moonbeams,
You can watch your money going west!”

Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man,
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect,
Making the perfect man!

”I’d like to spend a night with you,

Dm - C - Dm - Bb - C - Am - Bb - Dm - C - Dm - C - Bb - C - Dm - C - Dm

and show you what I am…”

”Wh[-]at will he be?” – “Could make a politician,”
”What will he be?” – “A member of the press,”
”What will he be?” – “A banker selling moonbeams,
You can watch your money, you can watch your money,
[Em7dim5]You can watch your money going west!”

Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect man,
Keep away, keep away, they are making the perfect,
Makin[-]g th[-]e perfect man!

Perfect man, perfect man,
Making the perfect man, making the perfect man!
I’d like to spend a night with you…
Making the perfect man, making the perfect man!

If beds could talk, mine would be singing
Singing about the time when you and I were lovers
All night long
We could not stop

They were amazing times, they were the crazy times

They were the best that I have known

Another place to fly, another taste to try

We were awake in a beautiful dream

CHORUS:
If beds could talk, mine would be saying
Come back and hold me in your arms again
If beds could talk, mine would be calling
Come back and let me love you once again

N.C. Em D Em
If walls could hear, mine would remember
Every word we said when you and I were lovers
All night long
We could not stop

Remember every kiss and every touch of lips

And every sensual delight

They were hypnotic times, they were erotic times

They were a thousand Arabian nights

CHORUS:
If beds could talk, mine would be saying
Come back and hold me in your arms again
If beds could talk, mine would be calling
Come back and let me love you once again

BRIDGE:
If beds could talk, if walls could hear, if windows see, imagine
The moments and the memories, they all come flooding back
If tables turn, if wheels caress, if mirrors see the passion
You’d be the best of them all

CHORUS: (## fade to end ##)
If beds could talk, mine would be saying
Come back and hold me in your arms again
If beds could talk, mine would remember
So, come back and let me love you once again
If beds could talk – mine would be singing
If beds could talk – mine would remember
If beds could talk – mine would be calling
If beds could talk – mine would be waiting
If beds could talk – mine would be singing
If beds could talk
If beds could talk
If beds could talk

I’m living with a guilty secret, deep in my heart,
living in a guilty secret life.

We meet at night, we stay out late,
and we avoid the man who makes her life so bad.
’Cause he doesn’t want her, the way that I want her,
he doesn’t need her the way I do.

The phone is hot with whispered words,
and when we can’t speak we have textual delight.
’Cause he doesn’t need her, the way that I need her,
he doesn’t love her the way I do.

We're living with a guilty secret deep in our hearts,
living in a guilty secret life.
And anytime I want to see her,
I just have to dream, I love he…….r.

Oh, it’s alright, ‘cause we’ve got time,
a good thing’s worth waiting for,
and it’s my life, and I can say that she’s mine, mine, mine !

There was a time, he was my friend,
but now the way he treats that woman is the end.
And she doesn’t love him, the way that she loves me,
she doesn’t want him anymore.

We're living with a guilty secret deep in our hearts,
living in a guilty secret life.
And anytime I want to see her,
I just have to dream, I love her, I really love her !

Oh, it’s alright, ‘cause we’ve got time,
a good thing’s worth waiting for,
and it’s my life, and nobody knows that she’s mine, mine, mine !

We're living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
living in a guilty secret life. (3x)

We meet at night – guilty secret, we stay out late – guilty secret.
The phone is hot – guilty secret, whispered words – guilty secret.
We're living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts …

Liberty
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh

Roll away the dawn,
Roll away the dawn and let me see,
The land of the free,
Has anything changed at all;

Sweet liberty,
Sweet liberty is in our hands
It’s part of the plan,
Or is it a st[-]ate of mind?

Horses and men,
Horses and men are on the field,
They didn’t yield.
Many have fallen here;

Never forget
Never forget what they have done,
The time will come,
When it will change again.
Never forget!
