Because the Night
Verse 1
here as I am.
Pull me close try and understand.
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe.
Love is a banquet on which we feed.
Pre Chorus (Everyone)
Come on now, try and understand
the way I feel when I’m in your hands.
Take my hand come under cover.
They can’t hurt you now, can’t hurt you now,
can’t hurt you now.
Chorus: (Everyone)
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Because the night belongs to lust.
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Because the night belongs to us.
Verse 2
Pre Chorus (Everyone)
Chorus: (Everyone)
Solo over PreChorus
Bridge (decrease instrument volume)
With love we sleep
with doubt the vicious circle turns and burns.
Without you I cannot live,
For - give the yearning, burning
I believe it’s time, too real to feel,
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.
Repeat Chorus Fade Out

Anticipation
We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway, yeah
And I won der if I’m really with you now
Or just chasin’ after some finer day
Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin’ me late
Is keepin’ me waitin’
And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me
But I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinkin’ about how right tonight might be
Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin’ me late
Is keepin’ me waitin’
And tomor row we might not be together
I’m no pro phet Lord I don’t know nature’s ways
So I’ll try and see into your eyes right now
And stay right here ‘cause these are the good old days
These are the good old days
And stay right here ‘cause these are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
Carry On
You’re No Good
Feeling better now that we’re through
Feeling better ‘cause I’m over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are
You’re no good You’re no good
You’re no good Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good You’re no good
You’re no good Baby, you’re no good
I broke a heart that’s gentle and true
Well I broke a heart over someone like you
I’ll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn’t blame him if he said to me
You’re no good You’re no good
You’re no good Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good You’re no good
You’re no good Baby, you’re no good
I’m telling you now baby and I’m going my way
Forget about you baby ‘cause I’m leaving to stay
You’re no good You’re no good
You’re no good Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good You’re no good
You’re no good You’re no good
You’re no good Baby, you’re no good
You’re So Vain
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner
They’d be your partner, and…
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?
You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
When you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and…
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you? Don’t you?
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and…
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you’re where you should be all the time
And when you’re not you’re with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend, and…
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you? Don’t you?
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain, bet you think this song is about you
Handle with Care
Been beat up and battered around
Been sent up, and I’ve been shot down
You’re the best thing that I’ve ever found
Handle me with care
Reputation’s changeable
Situation’s tolerable
But baby, you’re adorable
Handle me with care
I’m so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won’t you show me that you really care?
Everybody’s got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on
I’ve been fobbed off, and I’ve been fooled
I’ve been robbed and ridiculed
In day care centres and night schools
Handle me with care
Been stuck in airports, terrorised
Sent to meetings, hypnotised
Overexposed, commercialised
Handle me with care
I’m so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won’t you show me that you really care
Everybody’s got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on
I’ve been uptight and made a mess
But I’ll clean it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care
BOOTS
You keep sayin’ you’ve got somethin’ for me
Somethin’ you call love but confess
You’ve been a’messin’ where you shouldn’t ‘ve been a’messin’
And now someone else is getting all your best
These boots are made for walkin’
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Ya
You keep lyin’ when you oughta be truthin’
And you keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin’ when you oughta be a’changin’
Now what’s right is right but you ain’t been right yet
These boots are made for walkin’
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep playin’ where you shouldn’t be playin’
And you keep thinkin’ that you’ll never get burnt (ha)
I just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah
And what he knows you ain’t had time to learn
These boots are made for walkin’
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Are you ready, boots? Start walkin’
Truckin
Chorus
Truckin’, got my chips cashed in
Keep truckin’, like the dodah man
Together, more or less in line
Just keep truckin’ on
[Verse 1]
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it’s all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings
[Chorus]
Dallas, got a soft machine;
Houston, too close to New Orleans;
New York’s got the ways and means
But just won’t let you be
[Verse 2]
Most of the cats that you meet on the streets speak of true love
Most of the time they’re sittin’ and cryin’ at home
One of these days they know they gotta get goin’
Out of the door and down to the street all alone
[Chorus]
Truckin’, like the dodah man
Once told me “You’ve got to play your hand”
Sometimes your cards ain’t worth a dime
If you don’t lay’em down
[Bridge]
Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long, strange trip it’s been
[Verse 3]
What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same
Livin’ on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine
All a friend can say is “Ain’t it a shame”
[Chorus]
Truckin’, up to Buffalo
Been thinkin’, you got to mellow slow
Takes time to pick a place to go
And just keep truckin’ on
[Verse 4]
Sittin’ and starin’ out of the hotel window
Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again
I’d like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in
[Chorus]
Busted, down on Bourbon Street
Set up, like a bowlin’ pin
Knocked down, it gets to wearin’ thin
They just won’t let you be,
[Verse 5]
You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel
Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down
I guess they can’t revoke your soul for tryin’
Get out of the door and light out and look all around
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Truckin’, I’m a goin’ home
Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong
Back home, sit down and patch my bones
And get back truckin’ on
[Fade Out]
