Testi

WORDS FROM THE WISE

Voce principale: Derek e tutti insieme

Words from the wise, encourage you, carries all your taking on,
Words from the wise, discourage too many people when things go wrong.
* Words from the wise, encourage you, carries all your taking on,
* Words from the wise, discourage too many people when things go wrong.
* I have my doubts, as everyone. Little isle in a stormy sea.
* Words from the wise, believe in you,  All I do is believe in me.
If the going looks to strong, And a little seems too long
Only darkness in the night, Turn the darkness into
Light the fire inside of yourself I'm the one it's nobody else
Listen out. But remember always Your the wise, The wise.
(* Repeat)
When it feels so hard to try, Just a weight, a chain, a lie,
Even though you need to fight, make the changes into
Light the fire inside of yourself I'm the one it's nobody else
Listen out. But remember always Your the wise, The wise.
(* Repeat)

THANK YOU

Voce principale: Derek

Thank you, for staying around so long, I know it's been hard.
You spend half your life, just testing the ground.
Thank you, I thought you would come to along, I don't know when,
And all of those years, Just foolin' around.
Thank you, for taking me as I am. No better than you.
You give me your love, You take it from me.
Thank you, for staying around so long, I know it's been hard.
You spend half your life, just testing the ground.
Thank you, you like all my funny ways, the things that I do.
We both understand, To give and to be.
* Thank you, for waiting such a long time, And strange that it just had to be.
It's true, you look, you keep on trying, had to keep on trying,
Search for half a life time, suddenly it's there.
Thank you, for being here where I am, It's better by far
Not living alone, The future to share.
Thank you, for loving me like you do, for being my friend,
And taking my hand, and sharing my cares.
(* REPEAT)

GIANT FOR A DAY

Voce principale: Derek

You can be President Carter, maybe Idi Amin, or say Muhammed Ali
Make yourself Marlon Brando, Mickey Mouse, anyone you can see.
* Listen to all these songs tell yourself that it's wrong to even go your own way
* Throw away your old cloak, put on your mask, be a Giant for a Day.
Think to yourself you're in Paris, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, or maybe London or Rome.
Close your eyes to be there, even though you may be sitting at home.
(* Repeat)
Sitting in a Rolls Royce, if it's the car of your choice or just a black Cadillac.
And if you don't think these suit you, just a Porsche or a plain Pontiac.
(* Repeat)
Giant for a day, giant for a day put on your mask imagine you're a giant for a
Giant for a day
You can think your Jack the Ripper, Mama Belle the stripper, you can fight in the streets.
You can be the French Connection, Harvey Oswald, or the boys on the beat.
(* Repeat)
Giant for a day, giant for a day put on your mask imagine you're a giant for a
Giant for a day

SPOOKY BOOGIE

[Strumentale]

TAKE ME

Voce principale: Derek

Smooth-talkin', slow-walkin' tell no lie Cool is the fool with the eagle eye
Spending my time drunk and living fast Nobody knows what lies in my past.
I'm lookin' back My life is cryin' out What did I do What was I all about?
* OH, take me
* Save me from my misery
* OH, take me
* I want to be free
* OH, take me
* Take my hand and help me on
* OH, take me
* I will soon be gone
Good-timin', all-nightin' in the shade
No thinkin' nobody's had it made
Stole no control on my evil hands.
I tossed a coin blind to where it lands.
My how the time flies It just passes by.
I turned around It looked me in the eye.
(* Repeat)
My how the time flies It just passes by.
I turned around It looked me in the eye.
(* Repeat)

LITTLE BROWN BAG

Voce principale: Derek

Hold on; to the little brown bag. If it's all (that) she has to show,
Torn like a rag, Crazy lady she doesn't know,
Look in; cos there's nothing inside, Was there anything anytime
Little Brown Bag;
She'll be there in the morning, sitting alone with her world in her hands,
No goodnight in the evening, The city it understands, the circumstance.
Dream on; in the, little brown bag. Maybe here she's better than you
Torn like a rag, Look away it's good that you do.
Maybe; as you're, staring too hard, You could see that somehow it's real
Little Brown Bag.
What did she turn her back on, Was it the nightmare she couldnt face;
Look around, It may tell you, She only puts a good case,
So lady, hold on...


FRIENDS

Voce principale: John

Friends, where would I be without friends, to take good care of me,
My friends, what would I do I would be alone on my own.
* Enemies, some say add spice to your life
* But I've always hated to be so disliked
* I cant see why in this short span of time
* Anyone does without friends.
Friends will always help when you're feeling down,
On the ground, you're friends will put a shoulder to the wheel
I feel (* Repeat)
Friends This is a song to thank you all for being good friends,
You only number just a few, but you are my good friends.

NO STRANGER

Voce principale: Derek

* No stranger, No danger in your home.
* It's walking, It's talking on it's own.
* No stranger, No danger in your home.
* It's walking, It's talking on it's own.
One staring eye with no sight or feature
It only winks, when there's time to think.
It tells you nothing, but still your teacher.
And still you take it, It makes you hate it,
Takes care that you're always there.
(* Repeat)
It makes you safe moving with protection.
A mind for you trying very hard.
And still you cant make the disconnection.
Does all it's told to,tells what it wants to,
Says all that you have to know.
(* Repeat)

IT'S ONLY GOODBYE

Voce: Derek

Strange though we made it, in those days that were bare
What pulled us through them, something was there.
I can remember, drifting apart, thoughtless ways much stronger,
As the time grew longer one for one not always,
Then you said to me...
*It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when
*I think of you know, in kindness allow. My memory lingers, then
*It's only goodbye, my strength telling lies, Just facing what had to be.
Mixed my reflections, did we think it was real
Was it forever, fear not, just feel.
You had your troubles, yes I had mine.
Weren't we both for sharing, No not really caring,
I would realize that, when you said to me...
(* Repeat) It's only goodbye...

ROCK CLIMBER

Voce principale: Derek

* Rock climber, Good-timer, Backstager, All-nighter
* Rock climber, Good-timer, follows the songs through the night
* In the night
* Backstager, All-nighter, Fills you with praise till it's light.
She's waited for you (or me). She saw you there on T.V.
And said you looked good, not like you could, You're better in life you see.
Remember her friend last year, Knew John with the lighting gear,
You've such a nice face, what time what place,
Do you want to meet me tomorrow not there, she's a...
(* Repeat)
And then when she's in your room, it's over she calls your tune.
She crazes your head, takes you to bed,
All over for her too soon.
No tears when you say goodbye, You'll write, well you say you'll try
She goes like a dream, to dream new schemes,
Tonight there's more faces, in all the same places, she's a...
(* Repeat)
