GREATEST HITS (TEN YEARS AND CHANGE 1979-1991)
JANE
FIND YOUR WAY BACK
STRANGER
NO WAY OUT
LAYIN' IT ON THE LINE
DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP
WE BUILT THIS CITY
SARA
NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW
IT'S NOT OVER ('TIL IT'S OVER)
IT'S NOT ENOUGH
GOOD HEART
JANE
Jane you say it's all over for you and me girl
There's a time for love and a time for letting it be baby
Jane you're playing a game called, called hard to get by it's real name,
Making believe that you just don't feel the same. Oh Jane
Jane you're playing a game you never can win girl
You're staying away so I'll ask you where you been baby
Like a cat and a mouse, (Cat and a mouse) from door to door and house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know what I'm talking about
Were all those nights we spent together, hey hey
Only because you didn't know better, I gotta know
Jane, you're playin' a game, playin' a game, playin' a game
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Ah Jane you're playing a game of hide and go seek
Jane you're playing for fun but I play for keeps, yes I do
(Jane, Jane, Jane) That's a game on me
(Jane, Jane, Jane) So plain to see
Janey Jane why you foolin' with me
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
FIND YOUR WAY BACK
You know it's been a long long road
Since I packed up and left on my own
And I can carry a heavy load
Just try 'n' get back to her heart
I sure ain't got no home
I seem to find love where I ramble
And when it's time to go
I hear that voice again, say 'n'
Chorus:
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Leave a message with the rain
You can find me where the wind blows
The snow across the pain
And the frost upon the heart
You got no place to be
Still you wonder where you're goin'
And why I had to leave
I hear a voice and it says to me
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
To her heart, c'mon
I know it's too late now
But I wish I could go back in time
And start all over somehow
And get it right from the start
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back (Find your way back) Find your way back
Find your way back (Find your way back) Find your way back
Find your way back (Find your way back) Find your way back
Find your way back (Find your way back) Find your way back...
STRANGER
Raindrops falling
Winter feels so gloomy
Hear the knock upon my door
Stranger calling
Eyes that look like mine
Said you know I've called before
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Familiar stranger
Should I know your name
Did we meet some time ago
I feel uncertain
Shadows whisper to me now
Sudden wind begins to blow
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Darkened doorways
Strangest things can happen
Don't know who you're talking to
Find yourself
When lightning strikes you now
You could be looking back at you
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Stranger
Familiar stranger
Should I know your name
Did we meet some time ago
Are you someone I should know
Did we meet sometime ago
NO WAY OUT
No intentions
Whatsoever
I was gone for a night
Nothing's forever
The cruel daylight
Brought me back to my senses (Back to my senses)
Got caught in here
Under false pretenses
No way out
None whatever
I made up the story
Thought it was clever
She didn't ask
And I got no reply (Got no reply)
But later that night
I heard her cry
Chorus:
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No accusations
Whatsoever
But can she forget
Nothing's forever
Since yesterday
She's a little bit colder (Little bit colder)
Won't happen again
What could I've told her
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
Doesn't buy my story
How can she tell the truth from the lies
When does she know when to close her eyes
She doesn't want to lose me
So she only sees what she wants to see
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out, no way
No way out...
LAYIN' IT ON THE LINE
You see it every day in every way
We all hear the same routines
They all say that it's okay
Just let us take care of everything
So we lay it on the line
Chorus:
Layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, we're livin on the front line
I can see it in the faces
We got trouble in the streets tonight
And power keeps us in our places
And it doesn't matter if you're left or right
You lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all, right on the line
Layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, right on the line
Take it to the wilderness
Into the jungle sun
Lookin' for the voice of reason
Inside this Babylon
(Guitar solo)
Got U.S. boys on foreign soil
Spillin' their blood to keep the peace
Cities will vanish in turmoil
While the sheiks lay sleepin' on the beach
We lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, right on the line
Layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all
Layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all
DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP
You tell me to be strong - tell me to be strong
Goodbye ain't no reason to cry - it ain't no big deal
You say I'll get along - sure I'll get along
You're so nonchalant that it's unreal
Well I thought this love would be all I needed
I thought this love was something to believe in
Now you - you say sorry babe, it didn't work out that way
Don't let it ruin you're day babe
Chorus:
Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you're breakin' - it's just my heart you're breakin'
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Just don't worry 'bout me - don't you worry 'bout me
I'll be all right - oh yeah
Don't act so concerned - no don't be concerned
Don't know how much more of your kindness I can bear
Guess I had to learn - just had to learn
That after all this you just don't care
Well don't let that worry your mind now
I'll be okay - baby I'll be fine now
It's just that I'm watching my world walking away
Don't let it ruin you're day babe
Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you're breakin' - it's just my world you're takin' (Yeah babe)
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Just don't worry 'bout me - don't you worry 'bout me
I'll be all right - oh yeah
(Guitar solo)
I thought this love was all that I needed
I thought this love was something to believe in
Now you just say sorry babe, it didn't work out that way
Don't let it ruin your day babe
Don't lose any sleep now babe, oh,
Don't lose any sleep now babe, oh,
Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you're breakin' - it's just my heart you're breakin'
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Just don't worry 'bout me - don't you worry 'bout me
Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my world you're takin' - it's just my world you're takin'
Don't you worry baby it's just my heart
Can't you see it's breaking baby
WE BUILT THIS CITY
Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible write us off the page
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh, then we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in two rock guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
Don't you remember ('member)('member)
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
(repeats out)
SARA
Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
Move on, it's no good to go back in time
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Chorus:
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Danger in the game when the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
('Cos Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before
(And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
(And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore
(Guitar solo)
I'll never find another girl like you
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Sara, Sara, -- storms -- are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart
Sara, Sara...
NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW
Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you
Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby
Don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now
I'm so glad I found you
I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby
Don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Ooh, all that I need is you
You're all that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever, hey
(Guitar solo)
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us, whoa
Nothing's gonna stop us now, oh no
Hey baby, I know, hey baby, nothing's gonna stop us
Hey baby, woo, nothing, hey baby
Nothing's gonna stop us now yeah
IT'S NOT OVER ('TIL IT'S OVER)
Listen
We don't call the shots here
We don't make the rules
We take what we get, get what we can
And it's learning the hard way
Here on the streets
You can't build a dream, without a plan
(Passion speaks) Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right
The odds are against us
They say we don't stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
When push comes to shove
You got to fight for what you love
You do what you must, do what you can
(Passion speaks) Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over (It's not over)
It's not over 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over (Don't go giving in)
It's not over 'til we get it right
The odds are against us
But you know we still stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
It's not over
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
Don't go giving in now
IT'S NOT ENOUGH
If you want my love tell me 'bout tomorrow
Cause I can't wait one more day
Cold in the night waiting for a promise
So all alone I'm hanging on
Woman don't play this game
You'll never get my lovin this way
All this time you've been livin' for the moment
It works for some, but not for me no
Chorus:
It's not enough, to tell me you love me
It's not enough, to tell me that you care (Yeah)
It's not enough, to tell me you want me
Darlin' you know deep inside
If you want my love, then girl you must show me
(Not enough) Oh show me girl
We can make it last if we hold on till tomorrow
Or will we throw it away
Empty words you say you want to please me
But half a heart won't make it right
It's not enough to tell me you love me
It's not enough to tell me that you cried (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you're sorry
Darlin' you know deep inside
If you want my love, then girl you must show me
(Not enough)
(Guitar solo)
Empty words you say you want to please me
But half a heart won't make it right no
It's not enough to tell me you love me
It's not enough to tell me that you care (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you want me
Darlin' you know
Not enough to tell me you need me
It's not enough to tell me that you cried (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you're sorry
Darlin' you know deep inside
It's just not enough (Not enough)
Oh, if you really wanna know girl (Not enough)
What it takes if you want my love...
GOOD HEART
Ooh...
(Give a good heart, give a good heart,
Give a good heart, give a good heart)
When it seems that all hope is gone
And so called friends aren't there to rely on
When the darkness makes it so hard to see
Just lift up your eyes, you will see me - yeah
Chorus:
And I'll give a good heart, to hold you so strong
I'll give you my shoulder to lean on - yeah
Gonna give a good heart, that's solid and true
And I will always stand by you
When it seems no one's there to turn to
Everyone's a stranger passing through
And all that's left is a broken dream
Just hold out your hand, reach out for me - yeah
And I'll give a good heart, to hold you so strong
I'll give you my shoulder to lean on - yeah
Give a good heart, that's solid and true
And I will always stand by you
Now there's no need to dance alone
In these arms you found your home
Ooh, whoa oh oh - give a good heart
Take my good heart, take my good heart
Take my good heart
And I'll give a good heart, to hold you so strong
I'll give you my shoulder to lean on - yeah
Gonna give a good heart, that's solid and true
I will always stand by you
Give a good heart, hold you so strong
Give you my shoulder to lean on
Gonna give a good heart, hold you're head up
So lift you're head up - lift it up
I'll show you a love to believe in - yeah
I will always stand by you
Take my good heart...
Give a good heart, hold you so strong
Give you my shoulder to lean on
Gonna give a good heart, solid and true
I will always stand by you...
