On The Air
(P. Bardens)
Here we are
Must be somewhere
But you don't seem to know the faces
You'll survive
This hurt inside
It's only lover's changing places
Nobody ever knows the way you feel
Nobody ever knows but you
In the light
In the shadow
In between the feeling grows
On the edge of tomorrow
But tomorrow never knows
No matter where you are or what you do
Nothing will ever change but you
On the air tonight
On the air tonight
Nobody ever knows
Take a rose
Call it sorrow
But It's a rose by any other name
So it goes
And we will follow
Like petals scattered in the falling rain
Nobody ever knows the way you feel
Nobody ever knows but you
On the air tonight
On the air tonight

Sirens Of The Night
(J. Lyon/S. Skinner)
Well I never walked a night so dark
I guess the moon has blown a fuse
Muffled anger leaks from a second story window
Sounds like somebody giving somebody the blues
A yellow cab goes growling down a side-street
Tom cats are howling in the trees
The air tonight is as thick as the beer in England
No one suspects a breeze
Yea it's hot, but it's not a question of degrees
All the sirens of the night
They draw you out from all the light
All the sirens of the night
Of the night
Jenny's gone back to Princeton early
She said she couldn't take the heat
But the words behind all the words she said
Said she really couldn't take the street
Madness sputters in the neon lights
And pain sits laughing in the bricks
Sorrows lurking beneath the sewer grates
It's rude unhealthy mix
And out there, well the air ain't so full of tricks
All the sirens of the night
They draw you out from all the light
All the sirens of the night
Of the night
So tie me to the masthead of your sad old '68
And let the sirens sing their song
And lead me to my fate
For I'm already lost at sea
Third time going down
A sailors song is just debris
When you're shipwrecked in this town
All the sirens of the night
They draw you out from all the light
All the sirens of the night
Oh the sirens of the night

Little Calcutta
(J. Lyon/S. Skinner)
We're born to live and we're born to die
You're somewhere in between and I'm not sure why
Sleeping on a heat vent, eating what you find
I know we're somewhat more than kin
But a whole lot less than kind
That's what you'll find in Little Calcutta
That's what you'll find in Little Calcutta
The Greatest City In The World
Now life in the subway is a long slow fade to black
When you're beneath the city ain't nothing you can do but crack
Ain't no use in cryin', your tears are all in vain
If you're living on the city streets, you must be insane
That's what they say in Little Calcutta
That's what the mayor says, he says
"Right here in Little Calcutta
The Most Exciting City In The World"
The buses come and the buses go
And leave you nothing but exhaust
Port Authority Bus Terminal in the midnight hour
Last stop for the dead, the dying and the lost
You pray to God but he never seems to hear
You're in the mayor's prayers "Lord make them disappear"
Well, politicians can pray until they drop
It's been a long ride down and this is your last stop
All aboard for Little Calcutta
All aboard for Little Calcutta
All aboard for Little Calcutta
Last stop, all aboard for Little Calcutta
The Richest City In The World
The Richest City In The World
Ain't got no shame
City ain't got no shame
No pity in the big city
No no no

Ain't That Peculiar
(W. Robinson/W. Moore/M. Tarplin/R. Rogers)
You do me wrong and still I'm crazy about you
You stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt just makes my love stronger than before
I know that flowers grow from rain
But how can love grow from pain?
Ain't it peculiar?
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar?
Peculiarity
Well, you tell me lies that should be obvious to me
But I'm so much in love with you, baby, that I don't want to see
That the things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all those lies seem true
Well if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger?
Aint it peculiar?
Peculiar as can be
Baby, ain't that peculiar?
Peculiarity
I cry so much just like a child that lost his toy
Maybe, baby, to you these tears I cry are tears of joy
Well a child can cry so much until you do everything he says
Unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
I know love can last for years
But how can love last through tears?
Ain't it peculiar?
Peculiarity
Aint that peculiar?
Peculiar as can be
Well, I don't understand it, baby
It's so strange
But, I don't understand it, baby
It's so strange
Ain't it peculiar?

Act Of Love
(P. S. Bliss)
I've caused you too much pain
I meant to hurt you a little
Didn't mean to make you cry
So many tears
I'll catch them as they fall
As an act of love
It was all in the act of love
You can leave me right now
If you've had your fill
You can watch my heart bleed
Till every drop is spilled
It's your turn to take the stage
In this act of love
It was all in the act of love
When a love feels so bad
You and I always had the strength to carry on
When love makes us so mad
All the cruel words we say
Show how much we care
The love's always there
When a love feels so bad
You and I always had the strength to carry on
When love makes us so mad
All the cruel words we say
Show how much we care
The love's always there
Always there
When the curtain comes down
On this passion play
We've taken our bows
For another day
It always ends the same
In this act of love
It was all the act of love
It was an act of love
I'll give you all I have, oh yea
I didn't mean to make you cry
Oh, you made me cry
So many tears
Oh, so many tears
I meant to hurt, I meant to hurt
I only meant to hurt you a little
Gotta understand it's an act of love
It was an act of love
Oooh It was an act of love

Slow Dance
(J. Lyon/S. Skinner)
A warm breeze drifts across the window sill
As moonlight slants through a night so still
Oh I have held you in my dreams
And how real it always seems
You're standing barefoot in a white cotton dress
As music murmurs softly in a sweet caress
But if you'll take my hand we'll see
Just how real a dream can be
It all can be
Slow dancing on the edge of heart
Slow dancing adrift in the dark
Hair brushes cheek
Lips touch
Eyes glance
Slow dance
Now we're both bathed in the warmth of the wine
A smokey voice urges "Baby, baby be mine"
As the nightbirds fill the air
With a song two hearts can share
As if in a dream we float across the room
Drunk on the scent of a subtle perfume
Then from the garden floats our way
As if the world conspires to say
Say, yea
Slow dancing on the edge of a heart
Slow dancing adrift in the dark
Hair brushes cheek
Lips touch
Eyes glance
Slow dance
Slow dance
We're slow dancing on the edge of a heart
Slow dancing adrift in the dark
Hair brushes cheek
Lips touch
Eyes glance
Slow dance
Slow dance

Your Precious Love
(A. Brooks/R. Brooks/J. Butler)
Your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever mean
For when I wanted you
I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
And darling I, I was so surprised
When I first realized
That you were fooling me
And darling they say that our love won't grow
But I just want to tell them
Tell them that they don't know
For as long as you, long as you're in love with me
Our love will grow wider and deeper than any sea
Of all the things that I want
In this whole wide world
It's just to hear you say
That you'll be my girl
And oh, wanting you
I'm so lonely and so blue
That's what love will do

No Secret
(J. Lyon/S. Nagourney)
There is no secret in this heart of mine
There is no secret to what you'll find
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
He sat down and took her hand and whispered
Baby, it's alright
You may never be no saint
But you're an angel in my sight
Now I'm just a simple man
I ain't no good with words
I've had a little trouble in my life
But I guess you've heard
But there is no secret in this heart of mine
There is no secret now to what you'll find
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
They sat on the front porch and listened to the traffic
And watched the evening sun go down
And they thought about it, talked about it
Thought about it, talked about it
Trying to find away out of this town
Ah, but they never did
No, they live there still
It's not so easy to break away, break away
No matter what you will
There is no secret in this heart of mine
There is no secret now to what you'll find
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
He held her in his arms
Buried his face in her hair
And tried to read the future in the passing headlights
But I guess he got it wrong
So, they got married and tried to settle down
But it all fell apart
I guess you can't live on dreams, no
But hey, it's not a bad place to start
There is no secret in this heart of mine
There is no secret to what you'll find
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine

When The Moment Is Right
(N. Ossoff/S. Pecken)
We seem to fit like hand in glove together
We seem to pass the test of time
And, though I've never heard you say forever
In my heart I know you're mine
One day you're gonna look into my eyes
You'll say you know for sure
That's what I'm waiting for and
When the moment is right, you'll know it
And I'll be right by your side
Maybe tonight will be the night you'll show it
But I won't rush fate
I'll wait till the moment is right
For every star I've ever wished upon
Ah, there always seemed a wish for you
For those who tell me I'm just, I'm just dreaming on
I know this one will come true
Good things come to those who wait for love
You're worth the wait I swear
Oh, baby, we're almost there and oh
When the moment is right
And I'll be right by your side
Maybe tonight will be the night
But I won't rush fate
I'll wait till the moment is right
Time can only take this love
And make it stronger, yea
When the moment is right, you'll know it
And I'll be right by your side, baby
Well, maybe tonight will be the night you'll show it
But I won't rush fate, I'm not gonna rush fate, no, no
I won't rush fate, baby
I'm gonna take my time
I won't rush fate
I'll wait till the moment is right

Walking Through Midnight
(J. Lyon/B. Springsteen)
Well I've been walking through midnight
And there's no trace of dawn
I'm stuck in this moonlight
It's leading me on
My body's on fire
And I can't stand the pain
This burning desire
That I feel once again
Now I'm fighting with madness
As I move down the street
Surrounded by sadness
In midwestern heat
And the street lamps are glowing
Like coals in the mist
Their light keeps me moving
And I just can't resist
Now there's peace in this valley
But none in my mind
Like a drunk in an alley
Well, I'm stumbling blind
With no destination
At an unholy speed
I must keep on movin'
Try to walk off this need
