A Kind of Magic

It's a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
A kind of magic,
One dream, one soul, one prize,
One goal, one golden glance of what should be,
It's a kind of magic,
One shaft of light that shows the way,
No mortal man can win this day,
It's a kind of magic,
The bell that rings, inside your mind,
It's challenging the doors of time,
It's a kind of magic,
The waiting seems, eternity,
The day will dawn of sanity,
Is this a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
There can be only ine,
This rage that last a thousand years
Will soon be gone,
This flamme that burs inside of me,
I'm hearing secret hamonies
It's a kind of magic,
The bell that rings inside your mind,
Is challenging the doors of time,
It's a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
This rage that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be, will soon be,
Will soon be gone,
This is a kind of magic,
There can be only one,
This life that lasts a thousand years,
Will soon be gone,
Magic, It's a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
Magic, magic, magic, magic,
It's magic,
It's a kind of magic.


Under Pressure

Pressure pushing down on me
Pushing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building
Down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed
And torn
Why - why - why
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're
Cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more
Chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love 's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure …


Radio Ga Ga

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Radio

You gave them all those all time stars
Trough wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like is could fly.

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who djust don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new ?
Radio, someone still loves you !

We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years .

Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like old good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When grow tired of all this visual
You had your time - you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio - Radio

All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new ?
Radio, someone still loves you !


I Want it All

Adventure seeker on an empty street,
Just an alley creeper, ight on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see 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, Iwant it all, Iwant it all and I want it now
I want it all, Iwant it all, Iwant 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 gimme what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just give the sign,
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want me truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth,
I want it all, Iwant it all, Iwant it all and I want it now
I want it all, Iwant it all, Iwant 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'l linving 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, Iwant it all, I want it all and I want it now
I want it all, Iwant it all, I want it all and I want it now


Innuendo

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and tha rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by traditions, supertstitions, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Through the sorrow and through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free, be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself

Ooh ooh
If there's a god or any king of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the question we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy your fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yes we'll keep on smiling yeah -
And whatever will be - will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying -
Tiil the end of time -
Till the end of time
Till the end of time -


I Want to Break Free

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free.

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love.

It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like to do
But I have to be sure
When I walk at the door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free,
Oh how I want to break free.

But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free.

I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free.


It's a hard life

I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for leaving with a broken heart.

This is a tricky situation -
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone -

You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now it's over and I'm falling apart.

It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forvever in each others hearts -
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love -

I try and mend to broken peaces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone -

How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
Waiting for love.

Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live for ever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love -
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are poeple searching for love in every way -

It's a long hard fight -
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - Oh I did it for love


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 toucnhing something, you're touchin'me,
I 'm under thumb, under your 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 know 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 you looks at me,
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me,
Honey you're sparping 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


Who wants to live forever

There's no time for us,
There's no place for us,
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us.

Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever ….. ?
There's no chance for us,
It's all decideed for us,
This world has only one sweet moment set asside for us.

Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever,
When love must die.

But touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my world with your fingertips,
And we can have forever,
And we can have forever,
Forever is our today,
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever,
Forever is our today.
Who waits for ever anyway ?


Headlong

And you're rushing headlong, you've gota naw goal
And you're rushing headlong, out of control
And you think you so strong
But there ain't no stopping no there 's nothin'
You can do about it .
There's nothin' you can do
No there's nothin' you can do about it .
No there's nothin', you can, nothin' you can
Nothing you can do about it.
And you're rushing headlong, you've gota naw goal
And you're rushing headlong, out of control
And you think you so strong
But there ain't no stopping no there 's nothin'
You can do about it .
He used to be a man with a stick in his hand.
Hoop diddy diddy hoop diddy do
She used to be a woman with a hot dog stand
Hoop diddy diddy hoop diddy do
Now you've got soup in the laundry bag
Now you've gotta strings, you've gonna lose your rag
You're gettin' in a flight
Then it ain't no groovy when you're screaming in the night
Let me out of this cheap B movie.
Headlong down the highway and you're rushing
Headlong out of control.
But there ain't no stopping and you can't stop rockin'
And there's nothin' you can, nothin' you can
Nothin' you can do about it
When a red hot man meets a white hot lady
Hoop diddy diddy hoop diddy do
Soon the fire starts a raging gets more than half crazy
They start freaking every way you turn
You can't startwalknig cause your feet got burned.
It ain't no time to figure wrong from right .
Cause' reason's out the window
Better hold on tight - you're rushing headlong …


The Miracle

Every drop of rain that fall 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 - and end to war,
It's a miracle we need - the miracle, the miracle we're all waiting for today,
If every lief 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,
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,
Bis

See right through me.

Don't turn around
When you hear me tread.

So I 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 I don't look behind
I'm your meanest thought
I'm your darkest fear

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


Hammer to Fall

Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won' t be home tonight.

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting for the hammer to fall

Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of me is falling away
But lift your face, the Western Way -
Build your muscles as your body decays.

Toe your line and play their game
Let the anesthetic cover it all
Till one dau they call your name
You know it's time for the Hammer to Fall.

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth is all the samedi lock your door but rain is pouring
Through the window pane
Baby now your struggle's all vain.

For we grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder

What the hell we fighting for ?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting for the Hammer to Fall

Olny a phone call away,
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number,

I' m Going Slightly Mad

When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Being to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something ?
You're missing that one final screw -
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue -
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad.
It finally happened , happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened - I'm slightly mad
Oh dear !
I'm one card short of a full deck.
I'm not quite the shiling
One wave short of a shipwreck.
I'm not at my usual top billing
I'm comming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This battle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
Oh dear - I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened, uh huh.
It finally happened I'm slightly mad - oh dear !
I'm knitting with only one needle.
Unravelling fast it's true -
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear what about you ?
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened, oh yes
I'm slightly mad !
Just very slightly mad !
And there you have it !
