PARTY
 
We had a good night jamming away
There was a fullmoon showing
And we started to play
But in the cold light of day next morning
Party was over
The party was over

We got love and we got style
And we got sex and I know we got what it takes oh, oh

Why don't you come back and play
Come back and play, come back and play
We got all night all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come back and play
come back and play, come back and play
Come back and play

Go get 'em boy - let's party

We had a food fight in somebody's face
We were up all night singing and giving a chase
But in the cold light of day next morning
Everybody was hung-over

Come back and play, come back and play
We got all night all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come back and play
Come back and play
We got all night and we got all day
We got all night to play
Come back, comeback, comeback
comeback, comeback and play

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, the party is over

KHASHOGGI'S SHIP

Who said that my party was all over
I'm in pretty good shape
The best years of my life are like a supernova
Perpetual craze
I said that

Everybody drank my wine - you get my drift
And then we took a holiday on Khashoggi's ship - well
We really had a good good time they was all so sexy
We was bad, we was blitzed
All in all it was a pretty good trip

This big bad sucker with a fist as big as your head
Wanted to get me, I said go away
I said kiss my ass honey
He pulled out a gun, wanted to arrest me
I said uh, uh, babe

Now listen no-one stops my party
No-one stops my party
No-one, no-one, no-one stops my party
Just like I said
We were phased, we was pissed
Just having a total eclipse

This one's on me so let us do it just right
This here one party don't get started 'till midnight

Party to the left -
Party to the right -
Left - right
No-one stops my...

THE MIRACLE
 
Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all
It's a miracle
All God's creations great and small, the Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born, mothers, fathers dead and gone
It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us

The wonders of this world go on, the hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Able, 
Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle

The one thing we're all waiting for, is peace on earth - an end to war
It's a miracle we need - the miracle, the miracle we're all waiting for today

If every leaf on every tree, could tell a story that would be
A miracle
If every child on every street, had clothes to wear and food to eat
That's a miracle
If all God's people could be free, to live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us

Open hearts and surgery
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling

The wonders of this world go on
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle, it's a miracle

The one thing we're all waiting for, is peace on earth and an end to war
It's a miracle we need, the miracle, the miracle
Peace on earth and end to war today

That time will come one day you'll see
When we can all be friends...

I WANT IT ALL
 
Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out

It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way

I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now

Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan
Gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just give me the sign

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth

I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now

I'm a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one life time
(people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all
And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth

I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now

THE INVISIBLE MAN
 
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me

When you hear a sound
That you just can't place
Feel somethin' move
That you just can't trace
When something sits
On the end of your bed
Don't turn around
When you hear me tread

I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you

Now I'm in your room
And I'm in your bed
And I'm in your life
And I'm in your head
Like the CIA
Or the FBI
You'll never get close
Never take me alive

I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you

Hah, hah, hah, hello
Hah, hah, hah, hello
Hah, hah, hah, hello-hello-hello-hello
Never had a real good friend - not a boy or a girl
No-one knows what I've been through - let my flag unfurl
So make my mark from the edge of the world
From the edge of the world
From the edge of the world

Now I'm on your track
And I'm in your mind
And I'm on your back
But don't look behind
I'm your meanest thought
I'm your darkest fear
Put I'll never get caught
You can't shake me, shake me dear

I'm the invisible man,
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you
Look at me, look at me

BREAKTHRU
 
When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthru... Now!

I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something, you're touchin' me
I'm under your thumb, under you're spell, can't you see

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru - oh yeah

Breakthru, these barriers of pain
Breakthru, to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow, I have to make this final breakthru
Now!

Your smile
Speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks at me
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me
Honey you're sparking something, this fire in me,
I'm outta control, I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy

If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
Breakthru, breakthru

RAIN MUST FALL
 
I can see it in your stars
Life is so exciting
Acting so bizarre
Your world is so inviting
Playing really cool
And looking so mysterious
Your every day is full of sunshine
But into every life a little rain must fall

Anyone who imagines
They can blind you with science
Bully you all over
With property and finance
But you have position
To call the shots and name the price
You found success and recognition
But into every life a little rain must fall

You lead a fairy tale existence
But into every life a little rain must fall

Others seem to think
You are over dramatising
Problems at work
So it's hardly surprising
There's little you can do
To alter their opinions
You want a clean reputation
But now you're facing complications
'Cos into every life a little rain must fall

SCANDAL
 
Scandal, now you've left me all the world's gonna know
Scandal, they're gonna turn our lives into a freak show
They'll see the heart-ache, they'll see our love break
They'll hear me pleading, I'll say for Gods sake
Over and over and over again

Scandal - now you've left me there's no healing the wounds
Hey scandal, and all the world can make us out to be fools
Here come the bad news, open the floodgates
They'll leave us bleeding, we say you cheapskates
Over and over and over again

So let them know when they stare, it's just a private affair
They'll have us hung in the air and tell me what do they care
It's only a life to be twisted and broken

They'll see the heart-ache, they'll see our love break - yeah
They'll hear me pleading, I'll say for Gods sake
Over and over and over and over again

Scandal, scandal
Scandal, yes you're breaking my heart again
Today the headlines, tomorrow hard times,
And no-one really knows the truth from the lies
And in the end the story deeper must hide
Deeper and deeper and deeper inside
Scandal, scandal... 

MY BABY DOES ME
 
My baby
Baby does
My baby does, me good
My baby does
May baby does me
My baby does me good

My lady
Understands
Understands me, right

She understands me
She understands me
Understands me right
My baby cares
She really cares
She knows what's really right for me
Does me good then she hurts me so
She winds me up then lets me go
Turns me on and then tells me no
She's just a pussy cat

My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby cuffs me
One day she tells me that she cares
Another day she tells me she don't love me
She really really does me

WAS IT ALL WORTH IT
 
What is there left for me to do in this life
Did I achieve what I had set in my sights
Am I a happy man, or is this sinking sand
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it

Yeah, now hear my story, let me tell you about it
We bought a drum kit, blew my own trumpet
Played the circuit, thought we were perfect
Was it all worth it giving all my heart and soul
And staying up all night

Was it all worth it
Living breathing rock n'roll, a godforsaken life
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it all these years

Put down our money without counting the cost
It didn't matter if we won - if we lost
Yes we were vicious, yes we could kill
Yes we were hungry, yes we were brill

We served a purpose, like a bloody circus
We were so dandy we love you madly
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it
Living breathing rock n'roll, this godforsaken life
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it
When the hurly burly's done -
We went to Bali, saw God and Dali
So mystic, surrealistic

Was it all worth it, giving all my heart and soul
Staying up all night, was it all worth it
Living breathing rock n'roll this never ending fight
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it
Yes, it was a worthwhile experience
It was worth it

HANG ON IN THERE
 
Don't let go, don't lose your mystique
Wait a little longer
Tomorrow brings another feast
Don't let go, don't lose your reputation
Thank god you're still alive
You're still in one piece

Hang on in there, don't lose your appetite
Hang on in there, forget the danger signs
Fray for that magical moment and it will appear
(Don't fight for lost emotions)
Wait for the sunrise
And everything will seem so clear
(Look straight ahead, look straight ahead)
Hang on in there, hang on in there, hang on in there
Your wish will be granted
All your problems will disappear

Don't be a fool, you haven't reached your peak
You got a fast car racing up inside you
Your life is incomplete

Hang on in there, hang on in there
Fray for that magical moment and it will appear
(Wait for that moment)
Wait for the sunrise
Just wait and see and it will seem so clear
Let's go, let's go - OK now do the change now
Yeah, hang on in there
Hang on in there
