Sailing On The Tide
Here I am feeling confined
Neon lights are making me blind
I need time out in the sunshine
The city and me just dont agree
On who I should be
Maybe I should get away
Take myself a holiday
No more calls begging my time
No more walls for me to climb
I cant wait to feel the sunshine
Leaving at down
After Im gone life go on
Someones gonna take my place
Runninn in the human race
(*) sailing on the tide in the morning
Now I love that salty air
Sailing to the wide horizon
Let the fresh winds
Guide us there
Maybe if you feel like it, too

Carol Of The Bells
Hark! how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away.
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song,
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
Oer hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas!
On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Hark! how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away.
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold

Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing
Sing, sing
Whos that stompin all over my face?
Wheres that sillhouette Im trying to trace?
And whos putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before shes begun
Just singing and a dreaming of whats in my mind
Before I can take home whats rightfully mine
Joinin and a listenin and talkin in rhymes
Stoppin the feeling to wait for the times
(*) whos saying maybe
That dont mean a thing
cause nowadays clancy cant even sing
Sing, sing
Whos all hung-up on that happiness thing?
Whos trying to tune all the bells they ring?
And whos in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just counting the score
Whos trying to act like hes just in-between?
The night isnt black, if you know that its green
Dont bother looking, youre too blind to see

On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada / Dont Cry For Me, Argentina
It wont be easy, youll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that Ive done
You wont believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although shes dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen; I had to change
Couldnt stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Dont cry for me, argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Dont keep your distance

Aha!
Wow, it must be great riding with him
Yeah, is he picking you up after school today?
A-a!
By the way, whered you meet him?
I meet him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
Do you get the picture?
Yes, we see
Thats when I fell for the leader of the pack
My folks were always putting him down
(down, down)
The said that he came from
The wrong side of town
(wrong side of town)
Theyd told me he was bad

Because We Are In Love
Children
It was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run thru the days
Don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves
What kind of people did we want to be
No answer ever came to me
It didn't sleep at all last night
Mom, I've come to you like yesterday
About today
Mom, I'm afraid
Hon, come and sit by my side
Listen to me
Words come so hard
But what my heart says
I will give you
Because you are in love

Christmas Portrait
When we were teenagers
We went through a mean age
We think we know just what you mean
We were typical siblings
With plenty of quibblings
I think we can sing you this scene
Big brothers are supposed to be smart
So how come they act so dumb?
Big brothers are supposed to have feelings
But most of the time they're numb
When we're looking for heroes
We usually find a clown
We're supposed to look up at them
So how come we're looking down?
(*) big brother are supossed to be nice
So how come they act like nerds?
Setting an awful example
Using x-rated words; they're really gross
We diagnosis them right for the local shrink
Big brothers,

Guess I Just Lost My Head
I really dont mean to stare
I was only trying to memorize you there
You know I meant no harm
Its just that the starlight in your eye
Gave me a chill, nearly made me cry
Im sure its very clear
(*) I dont know whats goin down
Youre gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that
(**) I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we dont really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Wont you tell me youll forgive me
I dont mean to intrude
Its just that I dont want to break this mood
(dont want to break this mood here tonight)
And if I hold your hand its just cause
Theres something in the things you say

Bacharach / David Medley
(live)
Any day now
Any day now, I will hear you say,
Goodbye my love youll be on your way
And my wild, beautiful bird,
You will have flown, yeah!
Any day now, Ill be all alone
And you wont be around
Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new
To my sad surprise
And the blue shadows will fall all over town,
Any day now, you wont be around
Any love will let me down
I shouldnt want to keep you if you dont want to stay
And until youre gone forever
Ill be holding on for dear life, holding on
Holding you this way
And Im begging you to stay
Any day now, when the clock strikes go, youll go away
Then my tears will fall
