Tightrope
(Justin Hayward)
Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope
But it got too tight
I walked the straight and narrow line
My head was spinning round
I worked without a safety net
But it was such a long way down
Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope
But you need a head for heights
I walked the straight and narrow rope
My head was spinning round
I worked without a safety net
But it was such a long way down
Oh you might have seen us
If we came to your town
This game's made for heroes
And clowns
Not thinking about tomorrow
Living for today
I never left a note saying I'm going away
Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope
But it got too tight
I walked the straight and narrow line
My head was spinning round
I worked without a safety net
But it was such a long way down
Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope
But it got too tight
I walked the straight and narrow line
My head was spinning round
I worked without a safety net
But it was such a long way down
[Don't look down]
[Don't look down]
Songwriter Part 1
(Justin Hayward)
Now this ain't the best number
I ever wrote
But I wrote it for you
And you alone
Now these aren't the best words
That I ever spoke
But I'll say them to you
And you alone
Thousands of people
Dream songs every night
And these worn out chords
Go on working for me
Still you keep on asking me
Where is the Eden that we've dreamed of?
So many times we've been denied
But we can say that we're in love
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Now thousands of people
Dream songs every night
But these worn out chords
Go on working for me
Still you keep on asking me
Where is the Eden that we've dreamed of?
So many times we've been denied
But we can say that we're in love
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Da da da da da da da
Still the same......
Songwriter Part 2
(Justin Hayward)
Tried to sleep
Woke up dreaming
Guitars screaming
In the night
Heard a voice
Did you hear it?
Don't be afraid
We'll be all right
Be all right...
He's just a songwriter, songwriter, songwriter
Songwriter, songwriter, songwriter, songwriter
He's just a songwriter, songwriter, songwriter
Songwriter, songwriter, songwriter, songwriter
Tried to sleep
Woke up dreaming
Guitars screaming
In the night...
He's just a songwriter, songwriter, songwriter
Songwriter, songwriter, songwriter, songwriter
....wake up....
....wake up....
Country Girl
(Justin Hayward)
No deposit [no deposit, no return]
No return [knew I had, knew I had to learn]
So I fell
For a country girl
I'm running away from the city lights
Gonna get out of the smog
Goin' down in the countryside
I might even get me a job
I'm moving out of this neighbourhood
If I have to walk through the wall
Rockin' and rollin' down the country lanes
Getting away from it all
No deposit [no deposit, no return]
No return [knew I had, knew I had to learn]
'Cause I knew I had
Knew I had to learn
So I fell
For a country girl
And I'm running away from the city lights
I'm gonna get out of the smog
Goin' down in the countryside
I might even get me a job
I'm moving out of this neighbourhood
Doin' a daylight flit
Rockin' and rollin' down the country lanes
'Cause mother nature told me to quit
Oh yea oh yea
I fell in love
On a cool clear night
Where the grass was green
And the moon was bright
And you wouldn't believe
But I swear I was there
And we tasted the dew
On the clean night air
No deposit [no deposit, no return]
No return [knew I had, knew I had to learn]
'Cause I knew I had
Knew I had to learn
So I fell
For a country girl
And I'm running away from the city lights
I'm gonna get out of the smog
Goin' down in the countryside
I might even get me a job
I'm moving out of this neighbourhood
If I have to walk through the wall
Rockin' and rollin' down the country lanes
Getting away from it all
I'm running away from the city lights
I'm gonna get out of the smog
Goin' down in the countryside
I might even get me a job
I'm moving out of this neighbourhood
Doin' a daylight flit
Rockin' and rollin' down the country lanes
'Cause mother nature told me to quit
Oh yeah, oh yeah
One Lonely Room
(Justin Hayward)
One lonely room
Nobody there
Nobody sits
In one lonely chair
I know the feeling
For the first time in my life
Oh I should
I should have known
Better
Oh I should
I should have known
I should have known better
One lonely room
No footsteps on the floor
Nobody needs
To answer the door
I know the feeling
For the first time in my life
Oh I should
I should have known
I should have known better
Oh I should
I should have known
Better
You took the wind right out of my sails
You took my train right off the rails
You left a car that had no wheels
You left some shoes that had no heels
You took the wind right out of my sails
You took my train right off the rails
Oh oh oh
One lonely room
Nobody there
Nobody sits
In one lonely chair
I know the feeling
For the first time in my life
Oh I should
Oh yes I should have known
I should have known better
Oh I should
I should have known
Better
You took the wind right out of my sails
You took my train right off the rails
You left a car that had no wheels
You left some shoes that had no heels
You took the wind right out of my sails
You took my train right off the rails
You took the wind right out of my sails
You took my train right off the rails
You left a car that had no wheels
You left some shoes that had no heels
You took the wind right out of my sails
You took my train right off the rails
Lay It On Me
(Justin Hayward)
I get a yearning when the sun goes down
To hold your body close to mine
I get a feeling to come round your house
And light the fire and drink some wine
I'll keep you safe and warm and free from harm
It's understood
Oh darlin'
Take your worries and lay them on me
And if you need me on a Friday night
I'll stay the whole weekend and try
We'll solve your problem if it takes all night
I'll even sing a lullaby
I'll keep you safe and warm and free from harm
It's understood
Oh darlin'
I'm whatever you want me to be
Oh darlin'
Take your worries and lay them on me
I get a yearning when the sun goes down
To hold your body close to mine
I get a feeling to come round your house
And light the fire and drink some wine
I'll keep you safe and warm and free from harm
It's understood
Oh darlin'
Take your worries and lay them on me
Oh baby
I'm whatever you want me to be
Oh darlin'
Get your loving and lay it on me

Stage Door
(Justin Hayward)
A long way we have travelled
Just to see your name in lights
We're writing you this letter
'Cause we're with you tonight
Your Mama misses you so
And your Papa wants you to know
That, Babe
We want you to have your say
We don't want to stand in your way
The last time that we saw you
And we heard those curtain calls
We held hands and we loved you
And we shouted for more
Your Mama, she misses you so
And your Papa wants you to know
That, Babe
We want you to have your say
We don't want to stand in your way
But call us and say
When you're passing this way
And let us still know that you care
Clean sheets on the bed in your room
And a place at the table
And in our hearts
Every night is a first night for someone
Someone's making their debut
On starry eyes, the curtain will rise
Your Mama, she misses you so
And your Papa wants you to know
That, Babe
We want you to have your say
We don't want to stand in your way
But call us and say
When you're passing this way
And let us still know that you care
Clean sheets on the bed in your room
And a place at the table
And in our hearts
Such a long way we have travelled
Just to see your name in lights
We're writing you this letter
'Cause we're with you tonight
Your Mama, she misses you so
And your Papa wants you to know
That, Babe
We want you to have your say
We don't want to stand in your way
Every night is a first night for someone
Someone's making their debut
On starry eyes the curtain will rise
Every night is a first night for someone
Someone's bringing the house down
We want you to know
They're stealing the show
'Cause Babe
We don't want to stand in your way...
Raised On Love
(Justin Hayward)
We won't be sleeping on our own tonight
The star that guides us
Is still shining bright
And in the darkness
There will always be a light
I think I know now
What is wrong and what is right
'Cause I was raised on love
Yes I was raised on love
And I thank heaven above
For being raised on love
Seems like Venus was around my sign
She must have been there
In that house of mine
When she tells me
That I'm on the right track
When she tells me
There's no looking back
'Cause I was raised on love
Yes I was raised on love
And I thank heaven above
For being raised on love
'Cause I was raised on love
Yes I was raised on love
And I thank heaven above
For being raised on love
Doin' Time
(Justin Hayward)
They tell me that the sun comes up every morning
They tell me that there's people out on the street
But why is life so cruel?
[He's doin' time]
They tell me man, he tops the list in creation
He takes his place as uncrowned king of the world
But why is man so cruel?
[He's doin' time]
[Ain't it a crime?]
Oh, Prince of Peace
We need you now
Give us a sign
To show us how
Locked in her room
The lover mourns her betrayer
[It's such a shame, he took the blame]
Seems even Love possesses Treachery, too
But how can love be cruel?
[He's doin' time]
[He's doin' time, ain't it a crime]
[It's such a shame, he took the blame]
Seems this old world
Has lost its way
On such a torn
And troubled day
Locked in her room
The lover mourns her betrayer
[He's doin' time, ain't it a crime]
Seems even Love possesses Treachery, too
[It's such a shame, he took the blame]
But how can love
But how can love
But how can love be cruel? [He's doin' time]
[He's doin' time]
Nostradamus
(Justin Hayward)
Do you ever get the feeling
That it's all coming true?
And it's all being realised by you
Do you ever get the feeling
What was prophesied was true?
And it's all being witnessed now by you
The faces of the children
In the artist's loving hands
Are all returning
Into sand
The waters of the oceans
And the rivers running dry
It brings a tear to your eye
Don't let Terra die
Do you ever get the feeling
That it's all coming true?
And it's all being recognised by you
Do you ever get the feeling
Nostradamus told us true?
And it's all being witnessed now by you
The waters of the oceans
And the rivers running dry
It brings a tear to your eye
The faces of the children
In the artist's loving hands
Are all returning
Into sand
And slipped right through our hands
Do you ever get the feeling...

Marie
(Justin Hayward)
We're waiting for a sunrise
Marie, Marie
We're standing in the moon's eyes
Marie, Marie
And when I tell you that I'll always be around
I'll be around
And when I tell you that it's true love that we've found
That's what we've found
The bad times and the good
The worries and the fights
A man needs a lover that can see him through the night
We're waiting for a sunrise
Marie and me
We're standing in the moon's eyes
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
And when I tell you that I'll always be around
I'll be around
And when I tell you that it's true love that we've found
That's what we've found
The bad times and the good
The worries and the fights
A man needs a lover that can see him through the night
We're waiting for a sunrise
Marie and me
We're standing in the moon's eyes
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
Yeah yeah
Marie and me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Learning The Game
(Buddy Holly)
Learning the game, learning the game
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
These go with learning the game
When you love her and she doesn't love you
You're only learning the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad
And you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learning the game
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
These go with learning the game
When you love her and she doesn't love you
You're only learning the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad
And you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learning the game
That's when you're learning the game
