Right Place

Put it in the right place

Oh, get into the right space

Move it at the right pace

Don't turn into a head-case

Oh, you drive me crazy



Don't say that you'll never be lonely, baby

Don't say that you'll never take chances, lady

Fee, fi, fo, fum everyone wants it, baby

Be high, have fun, everyone needs it, baby



Oh, put it in the right place

Got to get into the right space

Oh, move it at the right pace

Oh, it drive me crazy



Don't say that you'll never be lonely, baby

Don't say that you'll never take chances, lady

Fee, fi, fo, fum everyone wants it, baby

Be high, have fun, everyone needs it, baby



Put it in the right place

Oh, get into the right space

Move it at the right pace

Ah, squeeze it in a tight space

Oh, it drive me crazy



Don't say that you'll never be lonely, baby

Don't say that you'll never take chances, lady

Fee, fi, fo, fum everyone wants it, baby

Be high, have fun, everyone needs it, baby



Put it in the right place

Got to move it at the right pace

Better get it into the right space

light space, tight space...

My Magazine

Tell me what you like,

I'll print it all

You need laughs,

'Cause you don't need misery 



Just tell me what you need,

I'll tell it all

Screw the facts,

I can give you fantasy 



My magazine 

I'm talking about my magazine... 



Just tell me what you want,

I print it all

You need help,

It's a sick society 



Just tell me what you need,

I sell it all

Who needs friends 

I'm collecting enemies 



My magazine

I'm talking about my magazine...

London

I wish I was in London

Walkin' in the rain

I wish I was in London

I really miss the rain

Oh just take me home again 



I wish I was in England

I really miss the Queen

I wish I was in England 

I really miss the Queen

Oh but is she missing me 



What happened to the Empire?

There's nothing in the Bank

They gave away the empire

Without a word of thanks

Oh let's blame it on the Yanks 



So give me rule Britannia 

Britannia rules the waves

I live in California

But it's really not the same 

Oh so take me home again

Please take me home again...

You Make Me Love You

Alright, you make me love you

It's alright, you make me love you

I said alright, you make me love you

It's alright, you make me love you 



When the winter wind in a-blowing'

Well you never know where it's goin'

For the skies are dark and the clouds are rollin' in

You can feel your heart is getting older

You can feel the world is getting colder

And it feels so good just to have you next to me 



Oh baby alright, I think I love you

It's alright, you make me love you

Oh I said alright, I think I love you 

It's alright, you make me love you 



Now the days are all getting shorter

They seem to slip away like water

Oh the land is cold and the night is closing in

But you're always there when I need you

When it feels the world is against you 

Oh it feels so good with you standing next to me 



Oh baby alright I think I love you 

I said alright, I think I need you

Oh babe it's alright I think I want you

I think I need you 

Oh babe it's alright

Oh babe it's alright

Now that you're here 



Oh it's an icy wind that's a-blowin'

And you never know just where it's goin'

But it feels so good when you're curled up close to me

Oh baby alright I think I love you

It's alright you make me love you

I said it's alright I think I need you

It's alright you make me love you...

Hai Hai

The sun goes up, the sun goes down

And still my life is just spinning round

It builds me up, it drags me down 

And keeps me looking for some solid ground 



Hai Hai, Hai Hai, Hai Hai 



The race is on, the stakes are high

They want your body, better dance or die

The game is up, the die is cast

This roller-coster may well be your last 



Hai Hai, Hai Hai, Hai Hai 



If you want to know me, if you want to know me

Won't you love me like nobody ever did before

The road is long, the climb is steep

And ghosts and goblins never seem to sleep

The storm has gone, the sky is clear

But there ain't no courage when there ain't no fear 



So get away, oh get away... 



The sun goes up, the sun goes down

And this old world is still spinning around

It fills me up, it drags me down

And keeps me looking for some solid ground 



Hai Hai, Hai Hai, Hai Hai 



If you want to know me, if you want to know me

Won't you love me like nobody ever did before

Who's Afraid?

Who believes in magic?

Who's afraid of the wolf? 



Who believes it's tragic-

Living life by the book? 



I see daylight coming

In the Eastern sky

Oh my love awaken

Oh my love don't die 



Who's afraid of madness?

Who's afraid of the moon?

Who's afraid of sadness-

Afraid of being alone? 



I can feel it coming

In the Eastern sky

Oh my love don't hurt me

Oh my love don't die 



Summer comes like a lady

With her charms, cool and shady

Wrap around, never let me go 

let me know... 



Who's afraid of winter?

Who's afraid of the dark?

Who's afraid of aging?

Afraid of losing their spark? 



I can feel it coming 

In the Northern Sky

Oh love don't desert me

Oh my love don't die 



Summer comes like a lady

With her charms, cool and shady

Wrap around, never let me go 

let me know... 



Summer comes like a lady 

With her charms, cool and shady

Wrap around, oh my love come lie

Dont be shy...

Desert Love

Did I tell you I need your love a little more each day?

Did I tell you I'm feeling old since you went away?

Did I tell you my love was cold, like the desert night?

Did I tell you my heart was dry, like the desert sky?



Oh, will you love me again?

Won't you help out a friend?

Will you love me again?



Did I tell you my lips were cold, like the desert night?

Did I tell you my heart was dry, like the desert sky?

If I need anyone to hold me, won't you say you might?



Oh, will you love me again?

Won't you help out a friend?

Will you love me again?

Land Ho

Please don't turn me away

Please don't leave me alone 

Oh I'm not asking for paradise

I've just got to find me a home 



I said, Land Ho, will I be sailing forever

Oh-oh, I gotta find some shelter from the cold

Land Ho, will I be searching forever

Oh-oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul 



Well you may think I'm a fool

And think I'm running away

But I've had enough of the city lights

Oh I've got no reason to stay 



I said, Land Ho, will I be sailing forever

Oh-oh, I need some wind to help me to my goal

Land Ho, will I be searching forever

Oh-oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul 



When you're alone, there's not a sail in sight

Oh it's cold and dark

And there's no one there to see you through the night

There once was a lady made me feel alright

But she couldn't stay so one lonely day

She just sailed away and took away my life 



Maybe I'll always be sad

Maybe there'll always be strife

Drifting alone with a saddened tone

Afloat on the ocean of life 



I said, Land Ho, will I be sailing forever

Oh-oh, sometimes I feel my ship is getting old

Land Ho, will I be dreaming forever

Oh-oh I gotta find an anchor for my soul 



Will I be sailing forever...

House On The Corner

There's a house on the corner

Lives a man who went to war

And it tries to give him shelter

From the pain of what he saw 



There's a child out the window

Painting faces in the snow

And they smile a sad reminder

Of a life he used to know 



There's a house on the corner

Lives a man with empty eyes

For his heart has been broken

For he was sold a pack of lies 



And he said

Hold me closer You know I can't

Hold me closer But you don't understand

Hold me closer Open your heart

Hold me closer I'm so alone

Hold me closer Oh, you'll never know

Hold me closer Open your heart 



For he fought for his country

Now he fights to clear his name

For the dead are always heroes

And the living live in shame 



And he said 

Hold me closer You know I can't

Hold me closer But you don't understand

Hold me closer Open your heart

Hold me closer I'm so alone

Hold me closer Oh, you'll never know

Hold me closer Open your heart

Puppet Dance

Why did you leave me all alone

Why didn't you tell me you were going home

Everything changes now you're gone 

Making me wonder how to carry on 



Over and over you gave to me 

I wish I had told you what you meant to me

Why does it always have to end

Losing a loved one is so hard... 



Oh my Lord, is it right?

By the light of the darkest night

You're never gonna see, you're never gonna see me crying

Where's the warmth of the sun?

Was there something that I should have done?

Oh why did you have to leave,

Why did you have to leave me crying? 



What I would give just to hear you laugh

All I have left is just a photograph

Oh to have known you all those years

Wish I had known how to dry your tears 



Everything matters when you're young

Everything shatters when the day is done

Everything falters in the end

Losing a loved one is so hard... 



Oh my Lord, is it right?

By the light of the darkest night

You're never gonna see, you're never gonna see me crying

Where's the warmth of the sun?

Was there something that I should have done?

Oh why did you have to leave,

Why did you have to leave me crying? 



So many feelings rushing in

It's too late for thinking how it could have been

Who knows the reason, was meant to be

It's going to be lonely, will you wait for me...?
