Expresso love's alright I don't want no sugar in it Thank you very much All wired up on it all fired up on it Expresso touch Hey maestro expresso It's just another one just like the other one Hey maestro expresso Is this another one just like the other one top ROMEO AND JULIET A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it? Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gave me a heart attack He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that Anyway what you gonna do about it? Juliet the dice were loaded from the start And I bet and you exploded in my heart And I forget I forget the movie song When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet? Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real How can you look at me as I was just another one of your deals? Well you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him Juliet when we made love you used to cry You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die There's a place for us you know the movie song When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong? I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV And I can't do a love song like the way its meant to be I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you Can't do anything except be in love with you And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be All I do is keep the beat the bad company All I do is kiss you through the bars of Orion Julie I'd do the stars with you any time Juliet when we made love you used to cry You said I love you like the stars above Ill love you till I die There's a place for us you know the movie song When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong? A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it? top LOVE OVER GOLD You walk out on the high wire You're a dancer on thin ice You pay no heed to the danger And less to advice Your footsteps are forbidden But with knowledge of your sin You throw your love to all the strangers And caution to the wind And you go dancing through doorways Just to see what you will find Leaving nothing to interfere With the crazy balance of your mind And when you finally reappear At the place where you came in You've thrown your love to all the strangers And caution to the wind It takes lover over gold And mind over matter To do what you do that you must When the things that you hold Can fall and be shattered Or run through your fingers like dust top PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS It's a mystery to me - the game commences For the usual fee - plus expenses Confidential information - it's in a diary This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt You get to meet all sorts in this line of work Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it And when I find the reason I still can get used to it And what have you got at the end of the day? What have you got to take away? A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes Scarred for life - no compensation Private investigations top SULTANS OF SWING You get a shiver in the dark It's been raining in the park but meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie double four time You feel all right when you hear that music ring You step inside but you don't see too many faces Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Too much competition too many other places But not too many horns can make that sound Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing And an old guitar is all he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene He's got a daytime job he's doing alright He can play honky tonk just like anything Saving it up for Friday night With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band It ain't what they call rock and roll And the Sultans played Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings 'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home' and he makes it fast with one more thing 'We are the Sultans of Swing' top TWO YOUNG LOVERS It was the last day of summer It was the first of a new romance He walked into her on the corner She said, 'I don't dance' He said, 'Baby let me teach you' She said, 'O.K., when?' He said, 'How can I reach you baby I'd really like to see you again' He picked her up on a Friday night He took her for a bite to eat His heart was beating and his hands were shaking She thought he was sweet And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek And he walked her home and he kissed her He was walking on air all week Well, they couldn't stand to be apart They couldn't leave one another alone Her mama used to say, 'It's getting late sweetheart It's time that boy went home' And upstairs papa kissed mama And she gave him a sweet caress He said, 'Here's to the two young lovers Let's wish 'em every happiness' It was the last day of summer They came walking home hand in hand They went and told her mama They showed her the wedding band Mama cried and poured the wine Papa just said God Bless Now, here's to the two young lovers Let's wish 'em every happiness top TUNNEL OF LOVE Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam And I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light She had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this It's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say Hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig Money for muscle and another girl I dig Another hustle just to make it big And rockaway rockaway And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss And in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades In any shooting gallery where promises are made To rockaway rockaway from Cullercoats and Whitley bay out to rockaway And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids Girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids top TELEGRAPH ROAD A long time ago came a man on a track Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back And he put down his load where he thought it was the best He made a home in the wilderness he built a cabin and a winter store And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore And the other travellers came riding down the track And they never went further and they never went back Then came the churches then came the schools Then came the lawyers and the came the rules The came the trains and the trucks with their loads And the dirty old track was the telegraph road Then came the mines - then came the ore Then there was the hard times then there was a war Telegraph sang a song about the world outside Telegraph road got so deep and so wide Like a rolling river... And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze People driving home from the factories There's six lane of traffic Three lanes moving slow... I used to like to go to work but they shut it down I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles They can always fly away from this rain and this cold You can hear them singing out their telegraph code All the way down the telegraph road You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights When life was just a bet on a race between the lights You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care... But believe in me baby and I'll take you away From out of this darkness and into the day From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain From the anger that lives on the streets with these names 'cos I've run every red light on memory lane I've seen desperation explode into flames And I don't wanna see it again... From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed All the way down the telegraph road top Vor einer langen Zeit kam ein Mann auf einem Pfad entlang Er ging dreißig Meilen mit einem Sack auf seinem Rücken Und er legte seine Last nieder, wo er dachte, daß es der beste Ort ist, Er machte eine Heimat in der Wildnis er baute eine Hütte und einen Winter-Laden Und er pflügte den Boden neben dem kalten See-Ufer Und die anderen Reisenden kamen und ritten den Pfad entlang Und sie gingen nie weiter, und sie gingen nie zurück Dann kamen die Kirchen, dann kamen die Schulen Dann kamen die Juristen und dann kamen die Regeln Dann kamen die Züge und die Lastwagen mit ihren Lasten Und der schmutzige alte Pfad war die Telegraphen-Straße Dann kamen die Bergwerke - dann kam das Erz Dann gab es die harten Zeiten, dann war ein Krieg Telegraph sang ein Lied über der Welt da draussen Telegraphen-Straße wurde so tief und so weit Wie ein rollender Fluß... Und mein Radio sagt, heute abend wird es regnen Leute fahren von den Fabriken nach Hause Es gibt sechs Verkehrsspuren Drei Spuren, die sich langsam bewegen... Ich bin gerne zur Arbeit gegangen, aber sie haben sie geschlossen Ich habe ein Recht, zur Arbeit zu gehen aber es gibt keine Arbeit hier zu finden, Ja und sie sagen, daß wir das bezahlen müssen, was geschuldet wird, Wir müssen von irgendeinen Samen ernten, der gesät wurde, Und die Vögel auf den Drähten und den Telegraphen-Stangen Sie können immer von diesem Regen und dieser Kälte wegfliegen Du kannst sie hören, wenn sie ihren Telegraphen-Code singen Den ganzen Weg der Telegraphen-Straße entlang Du weisst, daß ich bald vergesse, aber ich erinnere mich an jene Nächte Als Leben nur eine Wette in einem Rennen zwischen den Lichtern war, Du hattest Deinen Kopf auf meiner Schulter, du hattest deine Hand in meinen Haaren, Jetzt handelst du ein wenig kälter, als ob du dich nicht sorgen würdest... Aber glaube an mich, Baby und ich werde dich wegbringen raus aus dieser Dunkelheit und in den Tag hinein Von diesen Flüssen der Scheinwerfer, diese Flüsse des Regens Von dem Ärger der auf den Straßen mit diesen Namen lebt, weil ich jedes rote Licht auf dem Pfad der Erinnerung angemacht habe, Ich habe Verzweiflung in Flammen explodieren sehen Und ich will es nicht wieder sehen... Von all diesem Schildern, wo 'sorry aber wir haben geschlossen' draufsteht Den ganzen Weg der Telegraphen-Straße entlang top SOLID ROCK Well take a look at that I made a castle in the sand Saying this is where it's you know Couldn't understand now If I realised that the chances were slim How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in I wanna live on solid rock I'm gonna live on solid rock I wanna give I don't wanna be blocked I'm gonna live on solid rock Well I'm sick of potential I'm sick of vanity now I'm sticking to essential reality now I don't know what's worse Try to make a silk purse Living an illusion living in confusion Well a house of cards Was never built for shock You could blow it down in any kind of weather Now two solid rocks two solid blocks You know they're gonna stick Yeah they're gonna stick together Because the heart that you break That's the one that you rely on The bed that you make That's the one you gotta lie on When you point your finger cos your plan fell through You got three more fingers pointing back at you I wanna live on solid rock I'm gonna live on solid rock I wanna give I don't wanna be blocked I'm gonna live on solid rock I'm solid rock now top GOING HOME Instrumental top Kein Menü?
