 1...SAY IT AIN'T SO... by Murray Head
----------------------...............
 Say it ain't so Joe, please, say  it ain't so.
 That's not what I wanna hear Joe, ain't I, got  a right to know?
 Say it ain't so Joe, please, say  it ain't so.
 I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe; please tell  us it ain't so.
 They told  us that our hero has played his trump card;
 He doesn't  know how to go on.
 We're clinging  to his charm and determined smile,
 But the good  ol' days have gone.
 The image  and the Empire may be falling apart;
 The money has gotten scarce,
 One man's word held the country together,
 But the truth  is getting fierce.
 Say it ain't so Joe, please, say  it ain't so.
 We pinned our hopes on you Joe and they're, ruining  our show.
 Ooh babies,  don't you think;  we're gonna get burned?
 Ooh babies,  don't you think;  we're gonna get burned?
 We're gonna get turned,  we're gonna get learned,
 Yes, we're gonna get turned.
 We're gonna get burned,  we're gonna get learned,
 Yes, we're gonna get burned.
 We're gonna get burned,  we're gonna get learned,
 Yes, we're gonna get turned,  we're gonna get burned.
 Say it ain't so Joe, please, say  it ain't so.

 2...BOY ON THE BRIDGE... by Murray Head
------------------------...............
 There's a boy  on the bridge, and he's looking ahead,
 With confusion  in his eyes.
 There's a man  on the ridge, who is laughing out loud,
 Heavily in disguise.
 There's a girl  on the lake, reflecting her thoughts,
 Which she kisses away with sighs.
 What would you do in this boy's place;
 Move on or compromise?
 Freedom of choice is a hell of a burden;
 Maybe living  for kicks is wise?
 There's a town  far below, that is calling him home,
 Where his friends  got bored and laid.
 There's a hill  up ahead, with a mountain behind,
 With a pub  that is barren and frayed.
 What would you do in this boy's place;
 Move on or compromise?
 Freedom of choice is a hell of a burden;
 Maybe living  for kicks is wise?
 'Cos he wants  to be free, but he's frightened  to be a-lone.
 'Cos he wants  to be free, but he's frightened  to be a-lone.
 'Cos he wants  to be free, but he's frightened  to be a-lone.

 3...BOATS AWAY... by Murray Head
-----------------...............
  Climb  the rigging and haul  the ropes,
 Hoist and un-furl  the dusty sail.
 Winds are singing; we're bound  for hope,
 It is im-possible  to fail.
 Flesh is willing and dreams  will soar,
 When we sight,  the distant shore.
 Hold on fast,  to the skies;  smell the spray  in your eyes,
 Know the albatross  that cries, is just a friend.
 Glide our weary pain-laden  souls,
 Over hollowed,  heaving waves.
 Weigh our bodies down  with salt,
 Every hallowed,  heathen sways.
 There is hope to guide  us there,
 There is love;  to make us one.
 With our souls,  as the anchor;  light our path  to the sun,
 'Till our everlasting  search is at an end.
 Hold on fast,  to the skies;  smell the spray  in your eyes,
 Know the albatross  that cries, is just a friend.

 4...WHEN I'M YOURS... by Murray Head
---------------------...............
 Turning me on, and with your eyes,
 Playing along, and with you eyes.
 Coming on strong and with your eyes, you burn  me.
 Searching to please, and with your smile,
 Cursing with ease, and with your smile,
 Kindle the flame, and with your smile, you burn  me.
 (Have I gotta be burnt all over again?)
 I'd rather  you told me that you couldn't care less,
 Than put me through numbers that feel like a test; I want  you.
 But I gotta  know that I'm wanted;
 That I don't  get taken for granted, when I'm yours.
 Turning me on, and with your eyes,

 I'd rather  you told me that you couldn't care less,
 Than put me through numbers that feel like a test; I want  you
 I'll be yours,  to com-mand,  and o-bey;  I won't de-mand.
 But I gotta  know that I'm wanted,
 That I don't  get taken for granted, when I'm yours.
 But I gotta  know that I'm wanted,

 5...SOMEONE'S ROCKING MY DREAMBOAT... by Murray Head
-------------------------------------...............
 (Original Key: )
 Someone's rocking my dreamboat;
 Someone's invading my dreams.
 We were sailing  along, so peaceful  and calm;
 Suddenly, something went wrong.
 Someone's rocking my dreamboat,
 Dis-turbing  a beautiful dream.
 It's a mystery  to me; this mutiny  at sea.
 Who can it be, who  can it be?
 A friendly  breeze, gave us a start, to a paradise, of  our own.
 All at once, a storm blew us apart, and left  me drifting a-lone.
 Someone's rocking my dreamboat;
 I'm a captain  without any crew.
 But with love  as my guide, I'll follow  the tide,
 And I'll  keep sailing, 'till I find  you.
 Someone's rocking my dreamboat;
 Someone's invading my dreams.
 We were sailing  along, so peaceful  and calm;
 Suddenly, something went wrong.
 Someone's rocking my dreamboat,

 6...SHE'S SUCH A DRAG... by Murray Head
------------------------...............
 Darling, you'll love it; it's down  on the corner,
 Wearing those star-studded high  heel boots.
 Wear your mascara, try  on the tiara,
 Per-haps  it'll cover up some  of your roots.
 She's...  such a drag.
 She's...  such a drag.
 Leather for pleasure, what-ever  the weather,
 Cruisin' and losin' her old cares  and woes.
 Street invitation, the newest  sensation.
 For-get  your intention, when your petticoat  shows.
 She's...  such a drag.
 Ooh!...  she's such a drag.
 Step up on the merry-go-round; there's plenty room for more.
 It's a carnival,  a circus that we've gotta preserve;
 It's the meatiest  show of all.
 Step up on the merry-go-round; there's plenty room for more.

 7...NEVER EVEN THOUGHT... by Murray Head
-------------------------...............
 (Original Key: )
 Never even thought it could happen to me,
 Maybe I've been blind, only others can see; I'm in love.
 What am I to do, can I let it show?
 Do I keep it to myself or should I let her know; I'm in love?
 Do I nurse it in my heart, hold it back in my eyes,
 Hide it all inside or pull on a disguise? I'm in love.
 Have I gotta play games, even suffer the pain?
 Let the secret out; even suffer the doubt? I'm in love.
 I know  it's all there, I really want to share,
  /maj
 My life with someone else; will she... feel the same?
 Never even thought it could happen to me,
 Maybe I've been blind, only others can see; I'm in love.
 What am I to do, can I let it show?
 Do I keep it to myself or should I let her know; I'm in love.
 It isn't  easy when you've been broken before,
 It isn't so hard when you're ready for more. Could you love  me?
 Give me a simple clue; anything will do,
 So long as I know what's in me is in you. Could you love  me?
 I've got so much of care to give away,
 There's only one thing I wanna hear you say; I love  you.
 Have I gotta play games, even suffer the pain?
 Let the secret out; even suffer the doubt? I'm in love.
 I know  it's all there, I really want to share,
  /maj
 My life with someone else; will she... feel the same?

 8...SILENCE IS A STRONG REPLY... by Murray Head
--------------------------------...............
 Can't you hear me calling? I'm shouting out loud.
 Maybe you've mistaken me for one of the crowd?
 My back's  against the wall, my feeling's on show,
 Silence is the only reply that I know.
 The sleeping dog in m...e,  won't lie.
 But when I'm woken, you can't,  no can't  de-ny.
 When dreams  are broken; silence  is a strong  re-ply.
 Can't you hear me laughing, exposing my fears?
 Can't you see me crying, withholding the tears?
 There isn't  any point in closing your ears,
 The silence that's between us, is the passing of years.
 Take a breath, where the earth touches  the sky.
 We can both feel...  the reason why.
 Because silence  can be  a strong  re-ply.
 Silence is a strong reply.

 9...DON'T FORGET HIM NOW... by Murray Head
---------------------------...............
 Now is the time when he needs your every support,
 Now is the time when he needs your love.
 Now is the time when he needs your every thought,
 He needs help from you and Heaven above.
 Don't for-get  him now, don't  for-get  him now.
 Don't for-get  him now, don't  for-get  him now.
 Try carrying  the load that he bears; it's bringing him down.
 Carrying the burden that's on his back.
 Try wearing the shackles, that tie his feet to the ground.
 Seeing the light when the future looks black.
 Don't for-get  him now, don't  for-get  him now.
 Don't for-get  him now, don't  for-get  him now.
 Help him bear the conscience,  that taunts  his weathered mind.
 Freedom from the snare,  that haunts man-kind.
 Be the light to guide  him, be  the shield to hide  him.
 Show to him the self  he has to find.
 Now is the time when he needs your every support,
 Now is the time when he needs your love.
 Now is the time when he needs your every thought,
 He needs help from you and heaven above.
 Don't for-get  him now.
 Don't for-get  him now.

-----------------------...............
 (Original Key: )
 Ooh...my  sweet baby, you  are so very tasty.
 Let us have a-nother, drink  with each other,  baby.
 Who needs the words  to say it?
 If we speak, we'll only waste  it.
 Touch for touch, we'll  soon discover,
 Weave together, breathe  each other.
 Fusing our minds, and our bodies,  and our souls.
 Let's make a day of it last;
 Let's make a day of it last, until we're one.

5...SOMEONE'S ROCKING MY DREAMBOAT... by Murray Head
-------------------------------------...............

(Original Key: [B])

[A7] Someone's rocking my dreamboat;
[D] Someone's invading my [F#7]dreams. [F7]
We were [Em]sailing along, so [A]peaceful and calm;
[D] Suddenly, something went [A7]wrong.

[A7] Someone's rocking my dreamboat,
Dis-[D]turbing a beautiful [F#7]dream. [F7]
It's a [Em]mystery to me; this [A]mutiny at sea.
[D] Who can it be, [G7]who can it [F#7]be?

A [Bm]friendly breeze, gave us a start, to a paradise, [F#7]of our own.
[Bm] All at once, a storm blew us apart, and [F#7]left me drifting a-[A7]lone.

But with [F#7]love as my guide, I'll [B7]follow the tide,
And [E]I'll keep sailing, 'till I [B7]find you.

[B7] Someone's rocking my dreamboat;
[E] Someone's invading my [Ab7]dreams.[G7]
We were [F#7]sailing along, so [B7]peaceful and calm;
[E] Suddenly, something went [B7]wrong.

7...NEVER EVEN THOUGHT... by Murray Head
-------------------------...............

(Original Key: [Bbm])

[Am]  [D]

[Am] Never even thought it could happen to me,
Maybe I've been blind, only others can see; I'm in [Dm]love.
[Am] What am I to do, can I let it show?
Do I keep it to myself or should I let her know; I'm in [Dm]love?
[Am] Do I nurse it in my heart, hold it back in my eyes,
Hide it all inside or pull on a disguise? I'm in [Dm]love.

[Dm] Have I gotta play games, even suffer the pain?
Let the secret out; even suffer the doubt? I'm in [Bb]love.

I [Bm]know it's all there, I really want to share,
   [B7]                           [Em]   [Em]/maj       [E]
My life with someone else; will she...   feel the same?

It [Am]isn't easy when you've been broken before,
It isn't so hard when you're ready for more. Could you [Dm]love me?
[Am] Give me a simple clue; anything will do,
So long as I know what's in me is in you. Could you [Dm]love me?
[Am] I've got so much of care to give away,
There's only one thing I wanna hear you say; I [Dm]love you.

[Dm] Have I gotta play games, even suffer the pain?
Let the secret out; even suffer the doubt? I'm in [Bb]love.

8...SILENCE IS A STRONG REPLY... by Murray Head
--------------------------------...............

[D]

[D] Can't you hear me calling? I'm shouting out loud.
Maybe you've mistaken me for one of the crowd?
My [D]back's against the wall, my feeling's on show,
Silence is the only reply that I know.

[Em] The sleeping dog in [Bm]m...[A]e, won't [G]lie.
[Em] But when I'm woken, you [Bm]can't, no [A]can't de-[G]ny.
When [Em]dreams are broken; [Bm]silence is a [A]strong re-[G]ply.

[A]

[D] Can't you hear me laughing, exposing my fears?
Can't you see me crying, withholding the tears?
There [D]isn't any point in closing your ears,
The silence that's between us, is the passing of years.

[Em] Take a breath, where the [Bm]earth [A]touches the [G]sky.
[Em] We can both [Bm]feel...[A]  the reason [G]why.
Because [Em]silence can [Bm]be a [A]strong re-[G]ply.[C]

[A]

[D] Silence is a strong reply.

[G]  [F]

[G]  [C]  [Dm]  [F]  [C]  [G]

[G] Now is the time when he needs your every support,
Now is the time when he needs your love.
Now is the time when he needs your every thought,
He needs help from you and Heaven above.

[G] Don't for-[C]get him [Dm]now, [F]don't for-[C]get him [G]now.
[G] Don't for-[C]get him [Dm]now, [F]don't for-[C]get him [G]now.

Try [G]carrying the load that he bears; it's bringing him down.
Carrying the burden that's on his back.
Try wearing the shackles, that tie his feet to the ground.
Seeing the light when the future looks black.

[G] Don't for-[C]get him [Dm]now, [F]don't for-[C]get him [G]now.
[G] Don't for-[C]get him [Dm]now, [F]don't for-[C]get him [G]now.

[Am] Help him bear the [Bb]conscience, that [F]taunts his weathered [Dm]mind.
[Am] Freedom from the [B7]snare, that haunts man-[E]kind.[E7]
[Am] Be the light to [F]guide him, [Dm]be the shield to [G]hide him.
[Bb] Show to him the [C]self he has to [D]find.

[G]

[G] Now is the time when he needs your every support,
Now is the time when he needs your love.
Now is the time when he needs your every thought,
He needs help from you and heaven above.
