1. REAL LIFE

I wish that life was like it is in the movies
Cause the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark, lonely road
At the end he's got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to the lions
No one saved me as I fell from your grace
And no one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong
And what I did wrong I could not erase

This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide

I wish that I could be a white knight in armor
With an army just to bring you back home
But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number
And someone else is gonna answer the phone
Why can't it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me

This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds that I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real

I always thought that our love was a story book tale
God knows that I'd never dream in the end it would fail

‘Cause this is real life, this is real love
This is real pain that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds that I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I’m sure of

2. EDGE OF A BROKEN HEART

And there I stood, just like a soldier
I was tough, until I saw her
I said Hello, but she just turned away

Hey Romeo, whatcha doin' with my girl,
who are you using now, well I turn and walk away (Turn and walk away)

I'm gonna please her, now you can believe it
I'll be there to catch her when she falls

Oooo, here I am (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm a man (On the edge of a broken heart)
Here we stand (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can 'cause you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

I'm on the outside, looking inside
You're with him, who's on the wrong side now
Do you still think of me

I've tried to call, but no one answers
Two silhouettes, a private dancer
Lights go dim, as the music starts to fade, away (Turn and walk away)

I'm the one who needs you, now you can believe it
I'll be there to catch you when you fall

Ooo you better believe I'm the man (On the edge of a broken heart)
Here I am (On the edge of a broken heart)
And we stand (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can 'cause you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

Solo

Ooohh
And when I hold out my hands I'll be reaching for you
I give it all that I've got, that's all I can do
When you're waiting for love
I'll be waiting for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
Only for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
Oh baby for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can, you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (Of a broken, broken, broken broken, broken, broken, broken)

3. I WISH EVERYDAY COULD BE LIKE CHRISTMAS

What time is it baby, is it that time again
When snow will be falling, friends will be calling
You know it's time when, there'll be carolers singing Silent Night
I love when they sing, the feeling it brings
It's warm as a fire is bright

Soon there'll be toys for good girls and boys
And reindeer are heading our way
Yes, and Santa will come down the chimney above
There's one thing I wanted to say

I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do

I saw a child sit with old Mr. Clause,
Looked him in the eye and he asked old Santa what peace on earth was
Now the old man grew cautious, on how he would say
That it's the greatest gift what you could give, every day

I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do

Now the mistle-toes and the house of Lords
All the world seems at ease tonight
And all that I ask when these precious moments pass
Is why can't every day be so bright

I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do
Honest I do, yes I do now
Very merry Christmas

4. PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone (my baby's gone) I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Those Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas (please come home)
Please come home for Christmas (please come home)
If not for Christmas by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above (yes they do)
This is Christmas, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love

Then won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year (Christmas and New Year's)
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
I'll be happy (happy) that it's Christmas once again

5. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love - she's away
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own

Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Baby I don't know

Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends

I want somebody to love

Could you believe in the love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn off the light
I can't tell you but I'm sure I feel nice

Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
Baby I don't know
Baby I don't know

7. HELTER SKELTER

When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Till you get to the bottom
Then you see me again

Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

Do you, don't you want me to make you?
Coming down fast I don't want me to break you
Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter

Coming down fast I'm right above you
Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

8. I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS

The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And Daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world,
Her Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen,
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that
the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles
with the problems and the how's and why's
and he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh

And the silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload, oh
and nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And Daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he could see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

9. THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,
Haven't changed, had much to say,
But man, I still think them cats are crazy.
They were askin' if you were around,
How you was, where you could be found.
Told them you were livin' downtown,
Drivin' all the old men crazy.

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town.

You know that chick that used to dance a lot,
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got.
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot.
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face,

Man, we just fell about the place,
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her.

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town.

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill,
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em.
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long,
Won't be long 'til summer comes,
Now that the boys are here again.

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

10. GOOD GUYS DON'T ALWAYS WEAR WHITE

You say you don't like my kind
A better picture in your mind
No it don't matter what I say
I hear ya bitchin' when I walk away
I'll never be what ya want me ta be
You tell me I'm wrong but I disagree
I ain't got no apology

Just because I don't look like you, talk like you, think like you.
Judge and jury, a hangman's nuice;
I see them in your eyes...

Chorus

Good guys don't always wear white
Good Guys don't always wear white

You judge a man who don't stand in line
Just because he ain't on your side
You know the man who wears those shoes
If you cut me don't I bleed like you?
Ya know I do

I don't know whatcha been told
Can't buy guts with a pot 'o gold
A rich man's poor if he got no soul

Rich man, poor man, begger man can
All that shit don't mean a thing
Do you know which one's behind those eyes?
It's always a disguise...

Chorus

Hey baby...what side you on?
You think you got it all fired out,
Where we belong
Forget all about your dark dressed knight
Day from night,
Wrong from right...

Chorus

Don't always wear (repeated)
Don't always wear... White

11. ALL I WANT IS EVERYTHING

Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, just half-past noon
Trying to figure out just what he's doing
Why he had to grow up so soon
With all the gangs, all the guns - whatcha gonna learn in school
There's got to be some way out of here
He says: Man, this life is cruel

I knew this Puerto Rican girl who lied to change her life
She changed her name, her face because the grass looked greener
on the other side
She turned her back, she ran away straight into the night
Her friends, her family feel the pain, but she's the one who cries

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

My next door neighbor Donnie, died in his room just the other day
His brother came home, found him dead on the floor with a needle in his vein
Cops came down with a body bag, they said Dannie was a casualty
I said, All it's about is the boy checked out, he couldn't handle reality

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

12. WHEN SHE COMES

Outside this world keeps turnin' 'round
London Bridge keeps burnin' down
but it'll be all right, oooh

No one hears our silent screams
In this land of broken dreams
but it'll be all right, when she comes

It'll be all right, when she comes
It'll all be tight, when she comes

And when I lie she still believes
She don't ask why, she's there for me
When it get's hard, she's all I need to get by

I hear her voice in a thousand places
I try so hard, still I can't escape it
She's the one, when she comes, yeah

And if the sky come fallin' down,
I never ever even hear a sound
It's true, she's as great a red
as blue skies are blue

Everything's all right, when she comes
Everything's all tight, when she comes

And when I lie she still believes
She don't ask why, she's there for me
When it gets hard, she's all I really need

Everything's all right, when she comes
It'll all be tight, when she comes
When she comes
It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, It's all right, when she comes

13. THE END

So now it's over let the spot light fade
I hear the music slowly fade away
And now I find it hard to say good-bye
So I'll just say good night my friends

The end (we'll be together)
The end (we'll live forever)
We'll all be together in the end
The end (although it's over)
The end (It's never over )
We'll all be together in the end

If every moment is a memory
A faded photograph of days gone by
Can I take a little piece of you with me
For when I leave this all behind

The end (we'll be together)
The end (we'll live forever)
We'll all be together in the end
The end (although it's over)
The end (It's never over )
We'll all be together in the end

Come on, Come on, Come on, Darling lay you head down...
Come on, Come on, Come on, little Darling, help me baby,
'Cause I can't see the lights...

I'm getting tired so I close my eyes
I need to look at you just one more time
And though it's over, it's never over
Until I see you again

The end (we'll be together)
The end (we'll live forever)
We'll all be together in the end
The end (although it's over)
The end (It's never over)
We'll all be together in the end

The end (we'll be together)
The end (we'll live forever)
We'll all be together in the end
The end (although it's over)
The end (It's never over)
We'll all be together in the end

14. LONELY AT THE TOP

Tell Franie I'm sorry she didn't get to know her dad
I'll bet he's sorry he didn't get to know you too
Tell her there'll be people singing things that make her sad
How her daddy felt alone how he was hurtin' bad
I guess that won't be too far from the truth

Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy is one thing it's not.

I was jaded, suffocated, it got too hard to breath
But never got as high as I needed to be
You know life becomes worthless when they steal your dreams
I just couldn't live with what was left for me
And I couldn't run far enough from the truth, what's the use

Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy's one thing it's not

Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there can help you stop before you hit the ground
It's lonely at the top

Oooh yeah,

Tell Franie, I'm sorry I better kiss her when she cries
I'm sorry I left her, never said good-bye
Didn't mean to leave you all alone but then the music died
Though the song remains the same, I couldn't live that lie
You know that ain't too far from the truth
And you know that ain't too far from the truth

Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy's one thing it's not

Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there to help you stop before you hit the ground
Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Yeah, it's lonely at the top
It's lonely

15. WEDDING DAY

Today you'll pick up all the pieces
And get on with your life
All I can hope is that you're happy
'Cause today you're someone elses wife
Right now I wish that I could turn back
And beg the hands of time
For the days that I remember (oh baby)
The days when you were mine
And if I never said I love you
It's cause the words got in the way

Now all I do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day

I'll bet you looked good at the altar
I'll bet he knew the words to say
And the angels smiled when you walked down the aisle
You both knelt down to pray
As he put his ring on your finger
I know there's just one thing left to say

All I can do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day

So Sorry

Solo

You won't be walking through the door anymore
You won't be sleeping in this bed anymore
Tho' I swear I see your shadow waltz across my floor
And I don't know if I can take it
Should we ever meet again
Cause I know that we'll be strangers
When he introduces friends

I tried to make it to the church now baby
A broken heart got in the way

All I can do is tell you I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day

I really hope you're happy baby
Tho' it's killing me to say
All I can do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed you're wedding day
Sorry I missed you're wedding
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day

16. PROSTITUTE

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

I was there like your mother
like a brother, like a friend
Said you'd be there like a heartbeat
Thought I'd be there 'till the end
Then you took me like a cancer
You turned my conscience black
Tell the cops"here keep the ransom"
'Cause there's no turning back

I ain't here for love or money
And you don't see the truth
So if you want to bleed me honey,
Tonight I'll be your prostitute
I will be your prostitute
Yeah
Hey hey hey

Could you tell me one good reason
'Cause I can't think of none
First you love me then you hate me
As the lies slip off your tongue
You say talk for me
Baby smile for me
You tell me I'm the one
You say bleed for me
Baby breath for me
Tell me when it's done

Well I ain't here for love or money
And you don't see the truth
So if you're gonna need me honey
Tonight I'll be your prostitute
I will be your prostitute
Yeah
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

I know there's no forgiveness
For the things I've said and done
At least I know what I am
And I'm not the only one

'Cause I ain't here for love or money
You can't see the truth
So if you want to bleed me honey
  Tonight I'll be your prostitute
I will be your prostitute
I will be your prostitute
Yeah
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

17. SAVE A PRAYER

Dear Lord, Jesus, Buddha, Allah or can I just call you Joe
I've got a lot of things to tell you and some things I gotta know
I'm tired of hearing talk about this world's about to end
If we can die together then can't we all be friends
I gotta know
Hey, I gotta know
So Mister can you tell me, gotta know
Baby can you tell me, gotta know
Whoa oh oh I gotta know
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I gotta know
Baby can you help me, gotta know
I gotta know

Did you ever feel like you were drowning,
did you ever feel betrayed by a kiss?
Did you ever feel like you needed somebody,
would you feel alone in a world like this?
Did you ever feel like you needed shelter,
did you ever laugh when you wanted to cry?
Did you ever dream about evolution,
don't you ever feel like your living a lie?

Oh, Whoa, too many children grow up blind to the truth.
I say, Oh Oh, Oh, Oh, say a prayer for me,
I'll save a prayer for you.

Did you ever feel like you were helpless,
did you ever feel like an open wound?
Did you ever feel that there ain't no forgiveness,
did you ever feel that close to the truth.

Oh Whoa, the world closed their eyes on the blinding truth.
I say, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh , say a prayer for me,
and I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you,
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer...
for you, for you, for you
I'll save a prayer.

Did you ever feel like you need shelter,
did you ever feel like you lived in a flood?
Did you ever feel a lust for survival,
did you ever feel, feel, feel?

The world couldn't take me from getting dirty
There's too many hearts that haven't found a home
This train's on the tracks and the world's on my back,
save a prayer for me and I'll save one for you

No one will ??? , but it's hard to explain,
why too many soul's are feeling so alone
You've got to hold on if it's all you can do
Save a prayer for me
I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you,
I'll save a prayer for you
I'll Save a prayer....
for you, for you, for you

18. BORDERLINE

You call every hour, but there's nothing to say
So talk to me now, before it's too late
Oh they say it couldn't happen, but I saw your picture breathe
That fifty dollar doctor said your love is a disease

I'm alright, I'm okay
Still I don't know how, and I don't know why
But the talk turns to shop, and so we stand on the edge of goodbye
Is this the end of the beginning, or beginning of an end
Are you friend or the enemy, or enemy or the friend

I walk the borderline
Between day and the night, wrong and the right
Borderline
The voices they scream from inside of me
On the borderline
I walk the borderline

I hear talk on the streets, I hear rumors of you
The people I meet say, that the lies are all true
And I wake up in a cold sweat, find you lying fast asleep
Is my dream a reality, reality a dream

I've crossed the borderline
between day and the night, wrong and the right
Borderline
The voices they scream from inside of me
On the borderline
I walk the borderline

I walk the borderline
between day and the night, wrong and the right
Borderline
The voices they scream from inside of me
On the borderline
I walk the borderline
Yeah, yeah, yeah

19. LOVE IS WAR

Load your guns, take sides
Raise your flag, 'cause baby, love is war

Hey baby, what ever happened to the girl next door
If I remember, she looked a lot like you
Whatever happened to the boy who said, "I'd die for you"
We're hangin' on, but love is gone and now it's war

You got your weapons, baby I got mine
You tried to trap me with your bedroom eyes
Under the covers, 'cross the enemy lines
When you don't know, you just say no.

Tell me why, love is war
When the battle is done you still want more
Every broken heart is tryin' to even the score
It's the way of the world, love is war
Where boy meets girl, love is war

Oh I remember when the love was good and the bed was hot
But now we sleep on separate sides and the sheets are cold
Aw, I used to love your candy baby, now the store is closed

I know my silence tears you up inside
You built a fortress for your hurt to hide
You think you've won, but it's a tie
'Cause nobody wins a war of pride

Tell me why, love is war
When the battle is done you still want more
Every broken heart is tryin' to even the score
It's the way of the world, love is war
Where boy meets girl, love is war

Tell me why, love is war
What the hell are we fighting for

Tell me why love is war
When the battle is done you still want more
Every broken heart is trying to even the score
It's the way of the world, love is war

Tell me why love is war
When the battle is done you still want more
Every broken heart is trying to even up the score
It's the way of the world, love is war

War, love is war, war, love is war
War, love is war, war, love is war
