Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize,
I guess you had your way.
You see I've gotta make you understand.
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say,
But it don't matter baby, 'cos today's another day

CHORUS
You shine a little love on my life.
You shine a little love on my life.
You shine a little love on my life and let me see...

Remember, tonight we're gonna run till dawn
Remember, tonight we're gonna say it.
We'll never stop, we got a good thing goin' on.
I know you've heard it all before,
But I realy need you, darlin', every day I need you more...

CHORUS

Can you understand (Yes I understand)
Can you feel it's right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)

It's been a year now and it's getting so much better,
You came home without a word.
Though everybody said you'll soon forget her,
They couldn't see it and they just didn't understand,
And lookin' in the mirror, there were fools at either hand,

CHORUS

Can you understand (Yes I understand)
Can you feel it's right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)

How many days had I been waiting there to tell you,
I really can't believe,
We're walkin' out into the world tonight,
We'll do it all again until the break of night,
And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes.

CHORUS


. . .


Everywhere the sun is shining
All around the world, it's shining
But cold winds blow across your mind
Confusion -- it's such a terrible shame
Confusion -- you don't know what you're saying
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Every night you're out there, darling
You're always out there running
And I see that lost look in your eyes
Confusion -- I don't know what I should do
Confusion -- I leave it all up to you
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Dark is the road you wander
And as you stand there under
The starry sky, you feel sad inside
Confusion -- you know it's driving me wild
Confusion -- it comes as no big surprise
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on
You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.

Confusion, confusion
Confusion, confusion

She gives me love that I could never hope to have,
She tells me that she needs me, she tells me that she's glad.
And if she goes away, I'm like someone who's left out in the rain.
I need (her love), I need her (her love), I need her love.

She came in from the west, a summer breeze I couldn't rest,
I had to take a fast train to be there by her side.
She made me feel so good, she made it like it should be all the time.
I need (her love), I need her (her love), I need her love.

Just when I was thinkin' of her, she came along and made me want her.
I need her love, I need her love, I need her love.

If she goes away, I'm like someone who's left out in the rain.
I need (her love), I need her (her love), I need her love.

The boats that sail, the planes that fly, she is with me,
I wonder if she wonders, if this is all for real.
I couldn't stand to see her cry because of me, that would be sad.
I need (her love), I need her (her love), I need her love.

She tells me everything, she makes me smile, she tries to sing,
But never shares her suffering, if things are going wrong.
She makes it like a dream, if things are as they seem, the world is good.
I need her love, I need her love, I need her love.
I need her, I need her love, I need her love.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I need her love, yeah, yeah, I need her love...

Monday (Monday)

Late again today,
He'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry.
He'd have to hurry out - to the bus.

Tuesday (Tuesday).

Horace was so sad,
He'd never had a girl that he could care for.
And if he was late once more,
He'd be out

Chorus

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well, he just stood there - mumblin' a-fumblin'
Then a voice from above, said,
Horace Wimp, this is your life,
Go out and find, yourself a wife
(Come on Horace)
Make a stand, and be a man,
and you will have a great life planned.
(You can do it, come on Horace)

Wednesday.

Horace met the girl.
She was small and she was very pretty.
He thought he was in love,
he was afraid - uh oh.

Thursday.
Asked her for a date,
the cafe down the street, tomorrow evening.
His head was reeling, when she said yes, ok.

Chorus

Friday,
Horace this is it!
He asks the girl if maybe, they could marry.
When she says gladly, Horace cries - boo hoo.

Sunday
Everybody's at the church,
When Horace rushes in,
and says "now here comes my wife,
for the rest of my life"
and she did.

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well, he just stood there - mumblin' a-fumblin'
Then a voice from above, said,
Horace Wimp, this is your wife,
Go out and find, yourself a life
(You can do it)
Make a stand, and be a man,
and you will have a great life planned
(Horace Wimp)
Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace,
Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace,

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday

It was 9.29, 9.29 back street big city.
The sun was going down, there was music all around,
It felt so right.
It was one of those nights, one of those nights
When you feel the world stop turnin',
You were standing there, there was music in the air.
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay.

CHORUS:

Last train to London, just headin' out,
Last train to London, just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.

It was one of those nights, one of those nights when
You feel the fire is burnin', everybody was there,
Everybody to share, it felt so right.
There you were on your own,
Lookin' like you were the only one around,
I had to be with you, nothin' else that I could do,
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay.

CHORUS

Underneath a starry sky, time was still
But hours must really have rushed by,
I didn't realize, but love was in your eyes
I really should have gone, but love went on and on...

CHORUS

. . .


I see the lonely road that leads so far away,
I see the distant lights that left behind the day
But what I see is so much more than I can say
And I see you in midnight blue.

I see you cryin' now you've found a lot of pain,
And what you're searchin' for can never be the same,
But what's the difference cos' they say what's in a name.
And I see you in midnight blue.

CHORUS

I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
lovin' you, I'm feelin' midnight blue.

I see you standing there far out along the way,
I want to touch you but the night becomes the day,
I count the words that I am never gonna say
And I see you in midnight blue.

Repeat Chorus

Can't you feel the love that I'm offering you,
Can't you see how it's meant to be,
Can't you hear the words that I'm saying to you,
Can't you believe like I believe,
It's only one and one it's true
Still I see you in midnight blue.

I see beautiful days and I feel beautiful ways
Of loving you, everything's midnight blue.

Repeat Chorus

. . .


Whatever I do, wherever I go,
The same afterglow is keepin' me low.
Don't wanna lose it,
But don't wanna stay here too long.

They see you go by, I tell you no lie.
You're up in the sky, make everyone cry.
Don't wanna lose it,
But don't wanna stay around here.

I'm on the run again,
I'm on the run again.
But it's like what they say, when it happens this way,
You gotta do it again and again.

I hear them talkin' and they go on and on,
They think that nothing is wrong, and so they just carry on about you.
Don't wanna lose it,
But I gotta move out of here.

I see them waiting there for most of the day,
I know you asked them to stay, but they just won't go away.
Don't wanna lose it,
but I gotta do it again.

I'm on the run again,
I'm on the run again.
But it's like what they say, when it happens this way,
You gotta do it again and again.

I know it ain't real, but when you are near,
You're saying the things that I wanna hear.
Don't wanna lose it,
But I gotta do it again.

I'm on the run again,
I'm on the run again.
But it's like what they say, when it happens this way,
You gotta do it again and again.

I'm on the run again,
I'm on the run again.
But it's like what they say, when it happens this way,
You gotta do it again and again.

. . .


Little darlin', don't you cry,
You know, I'll try to be there with you by and by.
When everything is going wrong, now don't you cry.
I'm wishin'.

Little darlin', far away,
I see the world go rollin' by my windowpane.
But I can only wish that I was there again.
I'm wishin'.

I wish that everything was gold,
I wish you were here to hold,
I'm wishin'.

Little darlin', the night is long,
I thought I'd be back now, I must have got it wrong.
You and California call me in this song.
I'm wishin'.

I wish that everything was gold,
I wish you were here to hold,
I'm wishin'.

Little darlin', I see you,
You're cryin' in the sun, I gotta be with you.
I'm gonna be with there soon, I'll make it all come true.
I'm wishin'.

I wish that everything was gold,
I wish you were here to hold,
I'm wishin'.

. . .


You got me running, going out of my mind
You got me thinking that I'm wasting my time
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor:
Don't bring me down.

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I'm telling you it's got to be the end
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor:
Don't bring me down.

CHORUS
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down.

What happened to the girl I used to know?
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor:
Don't bring me down.

You're always talking 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor:
Don't bring me down.

REPEAT CHORUS

You're looking good, just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor:
Don't bring me down.

You got me shaking, got me running away
You got me crawling up to you everyday
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor:
Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor:
Don't bring me down.

But don't wanna stay here too long.

They see you go by, I tell you no lie.
You're up in the sky, make everyone cry.
Don't wanna lose it,
But don't wanna stay around here.

I'm on the run again,
I'm on the run again.
But it's like what they say, when it happens this way,

I'm on the run again,
I'm on the run again.
But it's like what they say, when it happens this way,
You gotta do it again and again.

I know it ain't real, but when you are near,
You're saying the things that I wanna hear.
Don't wanna lose it,

I'm on the run again,
I'm on the run again.

You gotta do it again and again.

I'm on the run again,
I'm on the run again.
But it's like what they say, when it happens this way,
You gotta do it again and again.
