Wham! written by T. Carey
Solo, getting nowhere and going
fast
My trip was slipping into moments passed
That age, at the stage, for a rage at the gauge
Get a bit bizarre
Subject to the mood and the time of day
The object seemed to be far away
But you, a yahoo, from the blue, you're a star
In a souped-up car
Wham! Stuck in a jam, Struck from
behind,
Wham! I'm into a spin, Outa my mind
Ooh, Yeah!
Touch my body, when we're lyin'
side by side
Relax for a maximum romance ride
Let's roll, lose control, heart and soul, fall alive, into overdrive
Chorus x 2
Cruising, using both hands on the
wheel
You swing, confusing what I thought was real
Hands and plans and moral stands
Collect, when our eyes connect
Chorus x 3

Our Beautiful Life (G. Carey)
I can't help but wonder how good
it must be
Just to wander over valley and sea
To shake of all worries and really be free
In the sun (Oh yes!) The warmth of the sun
In the hustle of the city, you
forget it is spring
In the noise of the traffic, you can't hear people sing
(Can't hear people sing)
And when you look skyward, you can't see a thing
It is black, (Oh yes!), Black chimney stack
As long as there are mountains
to roam
Rivers that rumble and seas that foam
As long as I can follow that star
I'll travel wide and wander far
I hear the laughter of children,
who play in the rain
The joy of the farmer, who harvests his grain
The touch of my love, who whispers my name
In the night (Oh yes!) the still of the night
How can you remember these wonders
untold
That sunset is crimson, and daybreak is gold
In our struggle for living, we've let slip our hold
On life (Oh yes!) Our Beautiful Life
As long as there are mountains
to roam
Rivers that rumble and seas that foam
As long as I can follow that star
I'll travel wide and wander far
How can you remember these wonders
untold
That sunset is crimson, and daybreak is gold
In our struggle for living, we've let slip our hold
On life (Oh yes!) Our Beautiful Life
Oh life (Oh life!) Our Beautiful
Life
In the sun (In the sun!) It's a Beautiful Life
In the sun (In the sun!) It's a Beautiful Life
In the sun (In the sun!) It's a Beautiful Life
In the sun (In the sun!) It's a
Beautiful Life
In the sun (In the sun!) It's a Beautiful Life
In the sun (In the sun!)
It's a Beautiful Beautiful Life (In the sun!)
It's a Beautiful Beautiful Life

Somewhere In Between (T. Carey)
Not feeling too bright, not feeling
too right in the brain
Some things are routine, but nothing is honestly the same
There's a spring in my step, and yep! I'm aware I may fall
I'm either awake or still in a dream
I'm neither and I'm Somewhere In Between
It's one of those days, when pastels
and greys describe it well
It's terribly brave and yet too afraid to leave its shell
It's a brand new day, but there's just one cloud in the sky
I recognize places I've never been
No high or low but Somewhere In Between
(*) You'd think that on a day like
this, I'd be fighting the mundane
But if you see things as they is, you can certify me insane!
I'm giving my best, but ev'rything's
messed up today
It's mine to combine, but really it's iron mixed in clay
The band begins the beguine, and I'm shadow dancin' all alone
I'm friendly greetin' people I've never seen
I'm either mad or Somewhere in Between
Repeat from (*)

Love Will Be Waiting There (T. Carey)
Something in your eyes, tells me
you're alone
I've seen that look before
Something in the way, nothing's here and now
Need to leave, but
How to leave the past, leave it all behind
It's closing ev'ry door
But when those doors are closed
Then you'll find that
Love Will Be Waiting There for you
Dreams that you hold in your heart
will all come true
And my only wish is to be there when they do
Somewhere down the line, Somewhere
he will be
The one you've waited for
Someone you can love, Someone who will care
Love Will Be Waiting There
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You Are The First Thing on My Mind (T. Carey)
I like beauty, like a painting,
full of sunset and wine
I like music, like a love-song, I like pretending it's mine
I like velvet pillows so serene and so pure
I like diamonds flashing with their fiery allure
I hold virtues like … perfection, in the highest regard
I hold friendship and affection, very close to my heart
But if you ask me, for the acme
You Are The First Thing On My Mind
You Are The First Thing On My Mind
I'm a dreamer, I imagine, I've
a wondering mind
I like to travel, seek adventure, I'm the wandering kind
I've seen towers casting shadows over those desert sands
I've seen everlasting treasures deep in those mysterious lands
But for all that ancient glory I saw with my own eyes
To the question comes an answer, maybe as a surprise
"So, where's the finest, the sublimest?"
You Are The First Thing On My Mind
You Are The First Thing On My Mind
I had set a perfect standard, you
had to get a top score
You were all that I demanded, all I wanted and more
So if you ask me for the acme
You Are The First Thing On My Mind
You Are The First Thing On My Mind
You Are The First Thing On My Mind
You Are The First Thing On My Mind

The Will Of The Father (T. Carey)
Daddy doom die, daddy Doom die, daddy doom die …
Power suits and fat cigars, in
rows of teeth and flashy cars
Appeared the day they came to take away ... Hey!
Startin' when it's over, when the
Master is gone
And the gravy is a million miles away
Now the jester's in the clover, now the pressure is on
But the fear is set to start a fire
Resurrect a dead desire, mix us up a mad Messiah
Who said that crime doesn't pay?
Drop a little magic in their eyes,
greedy an' gleamin'
(The Will Of The Father)
Dip 'em in the money, baby, ready an' redeemed
(The Will Of The Father)
Drive 'em all the way-hey-hey to Paradise, kickin an' screamin'
Draggin' up a family ain't all they crack it up to be
Daddy doom die, daddy Doom die, daddy doom die … Hai!
Starting with the mother, an' the
damage is done
And a ransom is the price you have to pay
If a daughter, and a brother and a prodigal son
Find a father's blessing galvanizing, tempting - yes! - and tantalizing
Should it be all that surprising - Sometimes, the Will is the Way!
Chorus x 2
Breakdown!
Chorus, ad lib.

Till Now (T. Carey)
You know, the way my life has been
Nearly all things unforeseen
Nearly all that could go wrong, did go wrong
I've been down, with no way up or out
With my hopes and dreams in doubt
Set to take my final bow
(*) But your smile, which could
melt the hardest heart
Offered me a second start
Promised me a second chance at romance
And now, I'm in love without a
doubt
How I ever lived without you
I'll never ever know, never go
You're my life, a beginning without ending
There's no use in pretending
I haven't lived Till Now
Repeat from (*)

Beautiful People (T. Carey)
Brad, dad, born to be had, trad
clothier-clad, sipping a sly, dry Martini
Mate late, hating to wait: "Great! Quarter-to-eight!" Getting creative
-
Jean, mean magic machine, teen-teaser, caffeine queen, high on the men and
the energy
Shang-a-lang, hang with the gang, when suddenly bang!
All of her friends and the fans of the bands in a Benz an' goodbye!
Welcome to the party of light ev'ry
Saturday night and all the Beautiful People
Welcome to the fashion and fun, even you can be one of all the Beautiful People
Have a go, have a chair, have a glass, have a stare at the passing parade
Try the roe and the ritz, all the glamor and glitz of the champagne charade
Welcome to the music and play and romantic clichè of all the Beautiful
People
Welcome to the wish and the well and the heaven and hell for all the Beautiful
People
Brad, dad, bad in the head, dead,
ready for bed, Scotching a slow Coca-Cola
Undone son-of-a-gun, fun table for one! Watching the sun rise -
Jean, Jean, jack of the backtrack, sick of the Sack-shack, down in the dark
on the parquetry
Shooby-doo, blue for the crew, Sh-boogie and boo-hoo
All the malaise and the aches of it, makes her bit crazy and cry! Why!!
Chorus x 2

Lonely Silhouettes (A. Westenberg, T. Carey & G. Carey)
The empty blue, the evening sky’s
in
The slow marooning of the sun
Without your love, the lovers and the parties
Just echoes of our one-time fun
They say that laughter is a tonic
for the heart
But not the fading memory of your smile
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
Which may be true but only for a while
The day you sailed you smiled and blew me kisses
The sea and I, we simply waved goodbye
You’re in my dreams, in orange purple sunsets
We’re only Lonely Silhouettes
The harbor lights, the far horizon
The silvery moon, the Milky Way
They’re all so near, much nearer than my heart is
Across the sea, a world away
Chorus
We’re only Lonely Silhouettes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Eyes In The Back Of My Head (T. Carey)
There's a dragon, with purple wings
Flappin' around in my backyard
The plants are all ashes, the swimmin' pool's gone
Oh believe me, the living is 'ard
Can't imagine, dear 'eart, the
pain
Emotional strain, to keep it fed
It's mostly invisible, but it's easy to see
With The Eyes In The Back Of Me 'Ead
Got an elf now, in my employ
Feeding the lawns with possum poos
He's cleaning the gutters, and clearing the drains
And he's … terribly clever with shoes
'Ow I love it when company's
Over for teas, and gingerbread
They're struck by the service so familiar to me
And The Eyes In The Back Of Me 'Ead
My! -- What a fantasy I'm livin'
in!
My! -- 'Ow my rhapsodies need discipline
Reinin' in!
There's another in my life now
Didn't you know, well, what a shame
A nifty replacement for someone we know
Oh, of course, I won't mention his name
You were useful, you've served
me well
So now, go to 'Ampshire!, our love is dead!
I saw from the beginning, this affair wouldn't last
With The Eyes In The Back Of Me 'Ead
The Eyes, The Eyes
The Eyes In The Back Of Me 'Ead
Me 'ead, Me 'ead! Yup!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gypsy Gypsy (G. Carey)
Gypsy, Gypsy, sing just for me
Sing me where you wander, beyond the sea
Fly to faces, on wings of song
Places you and I belong
Gypsy, Gypsy, dance like the fire
Burn ignite with steady eyes of desire
Hot and heady, a-a taste of wine
Gypsy, Gypsy, you'll be mine!
When you treat a señorita,
flamenco style
Charm her and romance her: that secret smile
That's the answer, she is waiting for --
"Be my Gypsy evermore!"
Gypsy, Gypsy, play your guitar
Eyes and fingers flashing, like ev'ry star
Caravan, go, your Gypsy way
Tango to another day
When you treat a señorita,
flamenco style
Charm her and romance her: that secret smile
That's the answer, she is waiting for --
"Be my Gypsy evermore!"
Tell her she's a Mona Lisa, and
set apart
Words and music trapping that secret heart
Dancing, clapping, she's an open door --
"Be my Gypsy evermore!"
When you treat a señorita,
flamenco style
Charm her and romance her: that secret smile
That's the answer, she is waiting for --
"Be my Gypsy ever, Be my Gypsy ever,
Be my Gypsy evermore!"

Winter Rose (T. Carey & T. Mijat)
Please, apologies, for these colorless
words
You know, it's not easy to find a love quite like hers
I declare she is by far and away the brightest star
She's both delicate and strong like a flow'r or like a song:
She's ev'rything to me, ev'rything
I need
And how high a price would I pay for this Edelweiss
Oh I hold here in my hand
A beauty that holds any man
And maybe she really knows
She's like a Winter Rose
Bold, out in the cold of the world's
good advice
And I found it hard to move on, so deep was the ice
I aspire to the pure and sublime that will endure
No one understands the dream, only I know what I mean!
Chorus
Beautiful vision, Sweet apparition
Hold your position, make me believe
You're no illusion, nor a delusion,
You'll never leave
Chorus x 2
