Emily's a girl I knew in my school,
Emily, she took such good care of me,
I used to tell myself....
"one day soon, that's the way I'd like to be"

Emily had seen the things that I'd seen,
Emily had know the wrongs that I'd known
I used to tell myself....
"one day soon, that's the way I'd like to be"

She told me..
"everybody's frightened,
everyone's a little scared of life.
You can watch it from the side lines,
a face in the crowd
but if you're not very, very careful
It'll just pass you by..."

And Emily does, what Emily can
One day she saw the light
and Emily ran straight for the door
she said..
"That's what it's for...
we only do the best we can."
And Emily ran

Some of us, we stay to make the wrongs right.
Some of us, we throw away our own lives
But you know I'd rather,
I'd rather be like Emily

Used to be afraid to leave my own house,
Used to be afraid to live my own life.
But you know I'd rather,
I'd rather be like Emily

She told me..
"everybody's frightened,
everyone's a little scared of life.
You can watch it from the side lines,
a face in the crowd
pass you by..."

And Emily does, what Emily can
One day she saw the light
and Emily ran straight for the door
she said..
"That's what it's for...
we only do the best we can."
And Emily ran

3. SKY HIGH

He was a man on duty
and as he started to me
There was a wink in his eye
Oh I don't want to knock it
but with money in my pocket
I was ready just to buy.
And with a swag a his shoulder,
he started to come over,
He was Spanish fly to me,
Now I'm not cruel as a rule,
but I called him as fool
And I walked on by.

There's one every morning,
one born every evening.
They send me Sky High
I keep hoping I'm mistaken,
hoping I'm just dreaming
They send me Sky High

I was walking in Florence,
I'd thrown away my conscience,
I was acting like a hedonistic art queen.
When a man made of leather,
started acting like my mother,
I was in the middle of a bad dream.
And when he touched me on the arm
and he told me to 'keep calm'
I screamed in his face
Well I'm a bitch when there's an itch
and with a stitch in my stomach,
I ran from that place.

There's one every morning,
one (fool) born every evening.
They send me Sky High
I keep hoping I'm mistaken,
hoping I'm just dreaming
They send me Sky High

Well Jane Austin wrote of bounders...
Cads who'd always founder
when you put them against the good guys.
So call me 'old-fashioned'
but I really get impassioned
when some fool gets me Sky High
Don't fondle or fold me,
couch me or cajole me
Don't cross that line
Cause I'm buying and I'm telling
and as long as you're selling..
We'll do fine.

There's one every morning,
one (fool) born every evening.
They send me Sky High
I keep hoping I'm mistaken,
hoping I'm just dreaming
They send me Sky High

4. MOONLIGHT

Moonlight...
It's so easy when you're in love
When you have someone to cling to
When your heart is not your own.

Moonlight...
It's so hard when you are lonely,
When you are your one and only,
When there's no one else to share.

And moonlight,
Like a movie made for lovers,
So oblivious to others,
When there's stardust in the air

Moonlight...
Like the moment when love found you,
And all around astounds you,
Keeps me wishing you were here.

In....
Moonlight.

5. TRAIN OUT OF HOLLYWOOD

I've got a friend and he can't see,
how living the high life might just be,
a perfect disguise for someone....
who's in pain

And he works in a bar and he tells me,
that if he tries really hard, then he might just be,
a beautiful star cause that's all he really needs,
to make him mend inside

Callie, your running out of time.
Callie, your going down in style.
Come on..swallow your pride,
and get on a train out of Hollywood

Look at me,
I've been such a fool,
thinking fame would do,
what only time could do.
Hoping I would be alright,
if I could have a perfect life,
just like you.....Callie

Funny how those who would chase fame,
tend to be those in the greatest pain.
Searching for highs that would reach,
into their very grain
(Oh Callie...)

Pack up your bags and your mistakes
and if you're going to sing, sing for art's sake.
Don't give it all in to a beast,
that has no name.

Callie, your running out of time.
Callie, your going down in style.
Come on..swallow your pride,
and get on a train out of Hollywood

7. ENOUGH

My friends love me
Cause I'm settled and I'm sane
I don't want to hurt them
By showing them the craziness I'm in

So I do whatever I can do
But it seems that when it comes to you darling
Enough is never quite enough!

We've all got secrets
Everybody has their shame
Sometimes you fight them
But one thing's sure, they'll rise back up again

So you may use sex, pills or booze
Whatever helps to soothe your blues
(But you know)
Enough is never quite enough!

People seem happy
Or so they make you think
But we all need comfort
A nameless face, an early morning drink
An early morning drink

And if you want to dim those memories
Sit back, relax and give in please
But don't you know...
Enough is never quite enough!
Never quite enough!

8. FAMOUS FRIENDS

Michael went to Vegas
Rented a king size bed
For all his friends to jump on
He's the eternal kid
Made the room a playground
Big toys and acrobats
He wants a second childhood
And what's wrong with that?

And they went on a big shopping spree
Little boys out from midnight till three
But as long as they're happy..

And there's one rule for many
But some don't have any
Just a check book
and a few famous friends

And in another country,
Children are taken by force
Someone led them laughing
Made them feel safe, of course
I see the parents crying,
please just return them unharmed
And Michael goes to Vegas
and no one's alarmed

And I can't hardly speak what I know
That it's alright when It's done up in bows
And your parents say "go darling"

And there's one rule for many
But some don't have any
Just a check book
and a few famous friends

And Michael went to Vegas
And no one was hurt or harmed
We like to watch the circus
But sometimes the Clowns alarm me!

And I can't hardly speak what I know
That it's alright when It's done up in bows
And your parents say "go darling"

And there's one rule for many
But some don't have any
Just a check book and a few famous friends

9. DOWN

He woke up and told himself...
he could not try anymore
Looked straight at the pain in his face...
the failure in his eyes and what is more
Left no note, just slipped away...
Leaving, he gently closed the door

And he went down, down, down
Into the brine
where his crime went un-noticed
He went down, down,
straight down
The madman just made up his mind

He had fought, all of his life...
but he wasn't fighting anymore
Turned the pain into his sight,
but he wasn't seeing anymore
Happy home, loving wife,
he could not make her smile much anymore

And he went down, down, down
Into the darkness
no last cry for forgiveness
He just went down, down
straight down
The madman had made up his mind

10. NIGHT AND DAY

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall

Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night.

Night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night.

Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

11. WALKING ON THE MOON

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say.. Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon

12. BRIDGES

There was a holy book,
of ancient time
A parable,
of peace in human kind
And wars were fought in it's name
and we soon forgot,
We changed the plot
and still we never learn
These are the bridges that we burn

There was an ocean deep,
a harvest wide
From which we took,
and never were denied
Silent and empty now
we look for blame
Yet do the same,
to those who'll never return
These are the bridges that we burn

And they're gone,
they're gone
Those precious gifts,
that we the knowing,
have been throwing away..
They're gone,
they're gone
Never to return.......

There was a garden green,
of god's design
That had given us,
hope for all of time
It was a gift of life,
answers that man might learn
And so of course,
we sold it in return
These are the bridges that we burn

BONUS: DREAMING

Where was I?
And how did this happen?
I used to be so sure of everything
But now I'm dreaming...
All the time

Where was I?
So distracted by the present
I lost the will to see anything
But now I'm seeing...
All the time

What is this,
Rock upon my shoulder
I feel older than the universe
But now I'm feeling...
All the time

Where was I?
And how did this happen?
I used to be so sure of everything
But now I'm dreaming... all the time
I'm dreaming... all the time
