Lyrics

Hello Hello

	Hello Hello, it's great to see you once again
	It's been so long,
	We were such friends,
	Long time ago
	Hello Hello, your smiling face
	Your warm embrace,
	We've been apart,
	Far too long,
	It felt so wrong
	Nice to know, you're coming over
	Nice to know, the wait is over
	Hello Hello, is that a smile on your face
	Here's a kiss,
	Just in case,
	This one's for you
	Hello Hello, it's great to see you once again
	It's been so long,
	We were such friends,
	Long long time ago

Honest Men

	We're just a stone's throw
	From Burning Hellfire
	Does anybody know,
	Where did all the heroes go?
	We've had our fill of
	This gallery of scoundrels,
	The leaders of the world, 
	Those power hungry liars

	Rise up and sound the sirens,
	Send out the searching powers,
	All we need is a few good men
	Send the S.O.S. and red alerts
	All across the universe
	Calling your honest men?
	S.O.S. emergency,
	Sinking fast and getting worse.

	Where's your honest men?
	In some village, far away,
	Or in a little town pub.
	High on a mountain top
	There must be an honest man
	Calling all honest men

	Throw out the tyrants,
	The aged fat cats
	Outlived their usefulness
	They have led us to this mess
	Make them answer,
	Hold them to their promises,
	And throw them in the street
	If they won't tell the truth

	S.O.S. and red alert
	All across the universe,
	Calling all honest men
	S.O.S. emergency,
	Sinking fast and getting worse,
	Where's your honest men?
	To your stations,
	Man the ramparts,
	The barricades
	We need new heroes urgently

	We need a few good honest men
	Calling all honest men
	Calling all honest men
	Call to him
	He lives next door,
	Across the street
	On the upper floor.

	It's our only hope we need him now
	Send the S.O.S. and red alert,
	All across the universe,
	Calling all honest men
	S.O.S. emergency,
	Sinking fast and getting worse,
	Where's your honest men
	Strike a blow,
	Save the ship,
	We need a few good honest men
	Calling all honest men
	Calling all honest men
	Calling all honest men
	S.O.S. across the universe
	Where's your honest
	We need your honest
	Calling all honest men

	Calling out all over the world,
	Where's your honest men
	Looking out all over the world,
	We need your honest men

Eric Toyer, 6:12

Every Night

	I've got rocket for your parade
	Heavy breathing for you made in the shade
	I've got an itch that just won't quit
	I see in that dress that just don't fit
	I see you walking with that twobit boy
	I see you laughing but I'm no toy
	
		Chorus
		I know what you do every night every night
		I know what you do when you turn out the light
		I see what you do every night every night
		And I want you to do it to me

	You learned that jive on MTV
	That mumbo jumbo just don't work on me
	Slam bang baby ala kazam
	Don't disrespect me I'm a stand-up man
	I see you laughing when you slam the door
	I see you with him I can't take any more

		Chorus
		I know what you do every night every night
		I know what you do when you turn out the light
		I see what you do every night every night
		And I want you to do it to me

	Come to your senses baby
	Don't hold out
	Someday you'll want me don't act so proud
	We've got a mutual circumstance
	Come on, hold on, give me a chance

Eric Troyer, Ken Cummings, 3:16

Once Upon A Time

	Meeting you in the park and talking in the pouring rain
	(Oh what a time we had)
	Running home in the dark and pretending it was all a game
	(Oh what a time)
	Those were the days, those were the days

	Memories of you have really left a scar
	And all that I can do now is to love you from afar
	'Cos everything was fine
	That once upon a time

	Asking you if you'd stay, not believing that you might
	(Oh what a time we had)
	Missing you through the day, dreaming of you through the night
	(Oh what a time)
	Those were the days, those were the days

	Though there's no denying that you're nowhere around
	I can't help myself from looking for your face amongst the crowd
	'Cos everything was fine, that once upon a time

	Have to leave the past behind me and get on the right track
	Though there's nothing I can say that will ever bring you back
	But everything was fine, that once upon a time

	I wish I knew for how much longer this misery will last
	Can't control these feelings, I'm still living in the past
	'Cos everything  was fine, that once upon a time
	I've got to build my life again, try to find somebody new
	But I know inside my heart of hearts there'll be no replacing you
	But everything was fine, that once upon a time

Bev Bevan, Pete Haycock, 4:19

Heartbreaker

	One look and you know she's trouble
	Ruby red lips and flashing eyes
	Can't resist, you just gotta have her
	Ooh it's a feeling that you can't disguise
	You're booked on a one way ticket
	I can tell you that you're going nowhere
	She's a drug and you're not gonna kick it
	Heartbreak city, she'll take you there

	I know I've been here before
	I read the script, I know the score
	There's no rules, she plays her own game
	She's a real heartbreaker and she brings on the rain

	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

	Thunder, can't you hear it crashing?
	Storm clouds are waiting for you up ahead
	Lightning, can't you see it flashing?
	You haven't listened to a word I've said

	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
	Rain (She's a real heartbreaker, a heartbreaker)
	Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

Bev Bevan, Pete Haycock, 4:50

Thousand Eyes

		Chorus
		The night has a thousand eyes
		and they're all on you
		The night has a thousand ears
		Listening to your cries
		Let it work its magic
		Let it work its magic
		The night has a thousand eyes

	You, you had to slip away
	After all that spark
	You, said all that you could say
	And slipped into the dark
	I could not let you go
	Alone into the night
	I had to let you know
	The magic there, in the night air

		Chorus
		
	You, somewhere out in the dark
	Runs a wounded heart
	You, stumbling in the night
	In the air of after light
	You take along the fears
	Did you waste these years,
	And did they warn you
	of the night zone all alone

		Chorus
		
	Sometimes it takes a fight
	To keep everything on track,
	And sometimes it takes a starry night
	To bring the magic back
	This was the time
	And this was the place
	with starlight on your face
	And the moon on the rise,
	The night has a thousand eyes
	

Eric Troyer, 4:52

For The Love Of A Woman

	No one could say
	How she caught my eyes
	To this day,
	I don't know why
	Oh well her eyes
	So much like diamonds,
	And her heart
	So much like gold
	I knew that I'd
	Win her in time,
	When I felt her heart
	Beat close to mine
	And once in her arms,
	Then I knew anything I would do,
	Just for the love of a woman,
	Just for the love of a woman
	I prayed that I'd never have to walk alone
	I'd have a love of my own
	I thank my stars,
	I found an angel
	Never again
	Will I walk alone
	She brought a light
	Into my heart,
	Like the brightest star,
	That's ever shone

	Money and gold

	To a king,
	When you're alone,
	Don't mean a thing
	And once in her arms
	Then I know anything I would do,
	Just for the love of a woman,
	Just for the love of a woman,
	I prayed that I'd never have to walk alone.

	Now I have a love of my own
	I could paint a masterpiece,
	I could walk through fire
	I could shout it from the roof,
	From the smallest flame to a fire this love has grown,
	Just for the love of a woman,
	Money and gold mean nothing
	Never again will I have to walk alone,
	Now I have a love of my own

	Love of my own, love of my own
	I can't face this world all alone

Eric Troyer, 4:01

Kiss Me Rad

	I could paint your picture in the sky tonight
	Your lips stick on the moon in pastel light
	Baby, it's full and white
	Honey, it's full tonight

		Chorus
		So kiss me red
		Kiss me rouge
		Kiss me rough
		Kiss me smooth
		Oh

	I could paint your picture in my room tonight
	Your body's on my mind, it's full and white
	Oh, but you're far away
	And what I wouldn't pay

		Chorus
		To kiss you red
		Kiss you rouge
		Kiss you rough
		Kiss you smooth
		Oh

	It's black out
	And I'm afraid of the dark
	So I light a candle to replace your heart
	What I wouldn't give to have you here in my bed

		Chorus
		To kiss me red
		Kiss me rouge
		Kiss me rough
		Kiss me smooth

Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly, 4:02

Heart Of Hearts

	Verse
	They say there's gold under the stone
	They say there's fire in the ice
	They say that love is crazy it's true
	But what can a poor man do
	When he's burned by someone like you

		Chorus
		In your heart of hearts
		Is this romance over
		In your heart of hearts
		Is there nothing I can do
		You made a fool out of this desperate lover
		In your heart of hearts
		don't push me away
		In your heart of hearts
		Don't you want me to stay

	Verse
	Days of love mean nothing to you
	Night of romance and fire
	What went wrong with this paradise 
	What turned the gold to stone
	What turned the fire to ice

		Chorus
		In your heart of hearts
		Is this romance over
		In your heart of hearts
		Is there nothing I can do
		You made a fool out of this desperate lover
		In your heart of hearts
		Don't push me away
		In your heart of hearts
		Don't you want me to stay

	Verse
	You can take the fire away
	But the flame burns hotter
	You can take the love away
	But the memory's stronger every day
	Can't stop it, can't help it
	I'll never forget about you

Eric Troyer, 4:18

Easy Street

	I've had enough
	I've had enough of forever being told what to say and do
	I've had enough
	I've had enough being always pushed around by the likes of you
	I'm making some plans of my own now
	And you know what you can do
	
	I'm so tired
	Tired of the man giving me such a hard, hard time
	I'm so tired
	You make a man work so hard every day,
	Don't you know it's a crime
	Always got to hit the deadline
	When will I ever get some peace of mind
	I'll find a girl that's rich and pretty
	I'll get myself the key to the big city
	Find a way to make some money
	Move into the land of milk and honey
	Everything's sweet and life's a treat
	Feel the heat on easy street

	I'm movin' on
	Movin' on to a place that I see all the time in my dreams
	I'm movin' on
	Gone, gone, gone from the misery

	I've taken all that I can now
	Gonna take my time on easy street

	I'll find a girl that's rich and pretty
	Get myself the key to the big city
	Find a way to make some money
	Move into the land of milk and honey
	Everything's sweet and life's a treat
	Feel the heat on easy street

	I've found a girl that's rich and pretty
	Got myself the key to the big city
	Found a way to make some money
	Moved into the land of milk and honey
	Everything's sweet and life's a treat
	Feel the heat on easy street
	(Repeat)
