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 the 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, color or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin
Till the end of time, till the end of time
Through
the sorrow all through our splendor
Don't take offense 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
Oooh,
ooh-yeah
If there's a God or any kind 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 questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be, will be
We'll just keep on tryin, we'll just keep on tryin
Till the end of time, till the end of time, till the end of time

I'm Going Slightly Mad
When
the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin 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 shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle 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
Unraveling fast it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you?
I'm
going slightly mad, I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened - happened
It finally happened - oh yes
It finally happened - I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it!

Headlong
And
you're rushing headlong you've got a new goal
And you're rushing headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping and there's nothing you can do about it
There's nothing you can do no there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can, nothing you can, nothing you can do about it
And you're rushing headlong you've got a new goal
And you're rushing headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping no there's nothing you can do about it - Yeah!
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 doo
Now you got soup in the laundry bag
Now you've got strings, you're gonna lose your rag
You're getting in a fight
Then it ain't so 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
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping and you can't stop rockin
And there's nothing you can nothing you can nothing
you can do about it
When a red hot man meets a white hot lady
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy doo
Soon the fire starts a raging get's em more than half crazy
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy doo
Now they start freakin everywhere you turn
You can't start walking cause your feet got burned
It ain't no time to figure wrong from right
Cause reasons out the window
Better hold on tight, your rushing headlong
Headlong, out of control, yeah
You think your so strong, but there ain't no stoppin
And there's nothin you, nothin you, nothin you can do about it at all
And
your rushing headlong down the highway
And you're rushing headlong out of control
And you think you're so strong
But there ain't no stopping
There's nothin, nothin, nothin you can do about it
Ooooooooh, ha ha!
Headlong...

I Can't Live With You
I
can't live with you
But I can't live without you
I can't let you stay
Ooh, but I can't live if you go away
I don't know just how it goes
All I know is I can't live with you
I'm having a hard time
I'm walking a fine line between hope and despair
You may think that I don't care
But I travelled a long road to get a hold of my sorrow
I tried to catch a dream
But nothing's what it seams
Love is saying baby it's all right
When deep inside your really petrified
Lover turns to hater on this escalator
I can't live with you, but I can't live without you
I can't breath - if you stay
But I can't bear you to go away
I don't know what time it is
All I know is I can't live with you
We're stuck in a bad place
We're trapped in a rat race
And we can't escape, Maybe there's been some mistake
We're trying to make a high score
We're walking through a closed door
And nobody's winning, we're just sinning against ourselves
Hold on baby tell me it's all right
Anger's breaking from the hurt inside
Passions screaming hotter, doing what we gotta do - yeah
I can't live with you, I can't live with you
I can't live, I can't live, I can't, I can't live with you
But baby I'll never ever leave you
I can't live with you, but I can't live without you
Cause I'm in love with you
And everything about you
I can't live with you, no I just can't live, I just can't live
I can't live with you, and I can't live without you
Through the madness, through the tears
We've still got each other for a million years, yeah!
I can't live without you.....

Don't Try So Hard
If
you're searching out for something, don't try so hard
If you're feelin kinda nothing, don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave them for another day
Don't try so hard
But if you fall and take a tumble, it won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble, thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are
Oooh Don't try so hard
Oooh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools that make these rules
Don't try so hard
One day you'll be a seargent major
Oh you'll be so proud
Screaming out your bloody orders
Hey but not too loud
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dressed as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try
To stand out from the crowd
Oh
what a beautiful world
This is the life for me
Oh what a beautiful world
It's the simple life for me
Oh
don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools - they make these rules
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard

These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Sometimes
I get to feelin
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young
The sun was always shinin - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
The rest of my life's been - just a show
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you
You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide - ain't that a
shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use and sitting and thinkin on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
Better sit back and go - with the flow
Cause these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find - no change
Those
were the days of our lives yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find-
I still love you, I still love you

Delilah
Delilah,
Delilah, oh my, oh my, oh my - you're irresistible ooh ooh ooh
You make me smile when I'm just about to cry
You bring me hope, you make me laugh - and I like it
You get away with murder, so innocent
But when you throw a moody you're all claws and you bite - that's alright
Delilah, Delilah, oh my, oh my, oh my - you're unpredictable ooh ooh ooh ooh
You make me so very happy
When you cuddle up and go to sleep beside me
And then you make me slightly mad
When you pee all over my Chippendale Suite
Delilah, Delilah
Hey - Hey - Hey,
You take over my house and home
You even try to answer my telephone
Delilah, your the apple of my eyes
Meow, meow, MEOW
Delilah, I love you
Oh you make me so very happy - you give me kisses and I go out of my mind ooh
Meow, meow, meow, meow
Your irresistible - I love you Delilah
Delilah - I love you
You make me very happy
Oooh - I love your kisses....

The Show Must Go On
Empty
spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking but my smile still stays on
My
soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show-
The show must go on...
