letra de The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up)
Though I live in the edge time is on my side

All the doors to my life are open wide

Just as long as the wheels keep on turning round

I will live for the groove 'til the sun goes down

Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

Living it up ... is it a crazy notion?

Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

Living it up ... I got forward motion

I don't wanna go to war, I don't wanna go to war

I said I know what I want an' I don't wanna go to war

Do you follow me?

I saw a soldier standing in a bar, looked so tired, he'd come so far

He said "I need to love someone before they drop the atom bomb"

There's a girl at the back making eyes at me

And her hair long and black is a sight to see

But I get kind of scared when love's around

I just live for the groove 'til the sun goes down

Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

Living it up ... is it a false emotion?

Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

Living it up ... I got forward motion

So I'm-a-taking you out but I'm-a-faking

I'm married to the beat

To the music I gave the heart I could have given you-hoo

Still there's something 'bout the way that you move

And the way the people stare, it's the shock of the new

I want my friends to see me standing next to you

The sun goes down

Time is on my side

I don't care what they say, I'll enjoy the ride

But I get kind of scared when I turn around

So I'll stay with the groove 'til the sun goes down

Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

Living it up ... I got forward motion

Ooh watch her dance

There must be one like her in every club in every town

But I don't mind if that's the way she wants to be

There something 'bout her that reminds me of me

She's my soulmate - we'll be together 'til the sun goes down

The sun goes down

Living it up ... living it up ... I can feel it

Living it up ... I got forward motion

letra de Out of Sight, Out of Mind
I remember your goodbye

And the late December sky

Seems so long ago

You were standing on the quay

And you blew a kiss to me

I was sad to go

The ship began to pull away

Then I heard a stranger say

It's sad to see true lovers part

'cause sometimes lovers feel a change of heart

Out of sight and out of mind

Well the stranger's words came true

And the prophecy went through

I knew it would change my world

'cause when I called your home

A whispered conversation

I overheard

I asked you what was going on

You said that I'd been gone too long

And the rain that fell in West Berlin

Was nothing like the rain that fell within

Out of sight and out of mind

Oh, Regine

Here am I

So far away

Out of sight, out of mind

Love has gone

But I will shine

Day after day

I will take what love I find

So I made some other plans

Took my life in these two hands

And I know I won't turn around

Though I often see your face

When I'm in a crowded place

It doesn't get me down

I met a girl with smiling eyes

Full of love and worldly wise

She told me she knows what to do

To help me put the memories of you

Out of sight and out of mind

[Chorus]

letra de Dance on Heavy Weather
Take a chance - and dance

It's a chance - dance

All across the world there's people high on confrontation

And they try to solve their problems burning up the nation

Turn the whole world upside down and leave it in confusion

But still we get no answers using yesterday's solutions

We are the ones, keep sight of it

Don't have to make a fight of it

Dance on heavy weather

Learn to live with modern times

You can take the pressure

It's all a state of mind - so we can

Dance on heavy weather

Raise the heartbeat of the young

If we move together

Don't you know that we are the ones

Take a chance - and dance

It's a chance - dance

You can try to hide behind a mask of contemplation

Say you want to live your life in private isolation

From the east you can't ignore the storm of disillusion

And so it falls on all our shoulders to find a new solution

You've got to make a start of it

You've got to feel a part of it

Dance on heavy weather

Learn to live with modern times

You can take the pressure

It's all a state of mind - so we can

Dance on heavy weather

Raise the heartbeat of the young

If we move together

Let the soul - take control - we are the ones

Take a chance - and dance

It's a chance - dance

Hear the sound of the heartbeat of the young

Though the rhythm is so unfamiliar

Just be sure to be there now the time has come

Hear the music that brings us together

Dance on heavy weather

Hear the sound of the heartbeat of the young

We can take the pressure

We may have a solution, we are the ones

Dance on heavy weather

Hear the sound of the heartbeat of the young

If we move together

We may have a solution, we are the ones

letra de Standing in the Light
A summer's day in sixty-eight

Sunlight through a window falls across the page

A young boy tries to concentrate

His mind would rather fly beyond the classroom cage

He can take the teacher's voice

Turn it into music from another place

All the other kids don't have that choice

Hanging on to every word the teacher says

Day and night - we will be touched

Standing in the light - don't shadow the genius

So out of school he walks alone

Soon his thoughts are flowing like a golden stream

An empty house he calls his own

This place becomes a temple to a silent dream

Sometimes he will clap and sing

Then deep in meditation he will learn to be

And only birds upon the wing

With upward fascination claim to be so free

Day and night - we will be touched

Standing in the light - don't shadow the genius

Your smile, your freedom

Comes to you from within

Still a child with a reason

You're afraid but it's time to begin

Blow the wind of change

Though the words are strange - to hear

Say what's on your mind

Now is not the time - for fear

A summer's day in eight-one

Sunlight through a window falls across the page

A young man's fight has just begun

And rising up inside him is a burning rage

They called his dream a fantasy

A song that every child has sung since time began

But just as long as he believes

Standing in the light he'll make them understand
I Want EyesVer letra

letra de I Want Eyes
It's late I know but I can't sleep

Peace of mind is hard to keep

I saw it on the news today

A thousand lives just blown away

I want eyes

I want eyes

Another page in history

But the why is still a mystery

Won't you come so we can talk this through

Do you need me now like I need you

I want eyes

I want eyes

On the beach lies a boy

Thrown away like a toy

In the field lies a man

Left behind, he was calling, calling

No one saw him die

Sitting there you're telling me

That everything is meant to be

But when I say I can't go on

I know I'm not the only one

I just can't live on planet hope

And watch the world go up in smoke

I don't know how to face the facts

When I see a child respond to impact

I want eyes

I want eyes

I want eyes

I want eyes

So I wake every night

With the same dream in mind

In a field there's a man

Left behind, he was calling, calling

No one saw me cry

Call

letra de People
I'm forever struck

by the people in this town

and the way they go about their world

have they given up

all the fun they used to have in adolescent xanadu

everything is too much time and trouble

they must be seen as being respectable

they're too busy with their social climbing

waiting for a rise

[Chorus]

Why can't people just be people

when they were young

they would wish for the summer evenings that would never end

now the day's too long

and the key to life is locked away in childhood memories

some people judge a man as reasonable

if the wine he buys is seasonable

they've time for friendship if it's advantageous

and causes no pain

[Chorus]

why are people so deceitful

why can't people just be people

there is more to the world

than is offered by the soap and war found on the TV screen

and there is more to this life

if you would only take the time to look within and find the key

don't believe words when they're superficial

don't put your trust in values artificial

let your heart do the talking for a little

and feel yourself shine

[Chorus]

why can't people trust in people

why can't people just be people

find the time and you'll realise

life isn't too much time and trouble

[repeat til fade]
