    2. Say Say Say

      Say, Say, Say What You Want,
      But Don't Play Games With My Affection.
      Take, Take, Take What You Need,
      But Don't Leave Me With No Direction.

      All Alone, I Sit Home By The Phone,
      Waiting For You, Baby.
      Through The Years,
      How Can You Stand To Hear,
      My Pleading For You Dear?
      You Know I'm Crying Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh.

      Go, Go, Go Where You Want,
      But Don't Leave Me Here Forever.
      You, You, You Stay Away,
      So Long Girl, I See You Never.

      What Can I Do
      Girl To Get Through To You?
      Cause I Love You Baby.
      Standing Here, Baptisted In All My Tears,
      Baby Through The Years,
      You Know I'm Crying Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh.

      You Never Worry,
      And You Never Shed A Tear.
      You Saying That My Love Ain't Real,
      Just Look At My Face,
      These Tears Ain't Drying

      You, You, You Can Never Say,
      That I'm Not The One Who Really Loves You.
      I Pray, Pray, Pray Every Day
      That You'll See Things, Girl Like I Do.

      What Can I Do Girl, To Get Through To You? Cause I Love You Baby.
      Standing Here Baptised In All My Tears, Baby Through The Years,
      You Know I'm Crying, Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

    3. The Other Me

      I Know I Was A Crazy Fool
      For Treating You The Way I Did
      But Something Took Hold Of Me
      And I Acted Like A Dustbin Lid

      I Didn't Give Second Though
      To What The Consequence Might Be
      I Really Wouldn't Be Surprised
      If You Were Trying To Find Another Me

      The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
      The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
      I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
      That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule

      I Know It Doesn't Take A Lot
      To Have A Little Self-Control
      But Every Time That I Forgot
      Well I Landed In Another Hole

      But Everytime You Pull Me Out
      I Find It Harder Not To See
      That We Can Build A Better Life
      If I Can Try To Find The Other Me

      The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
      The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
      I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
      That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule

      But If I Ever Hurt You
      Well You Know That It's Not Real
      It's No Easy Living By Yourself
      So Imagine How I Feel

      I Wish That I Could Take It Back
      I'd Like To Make A Different Mood
      And If You Let Me Try Again
      I'll Have A Better Attitude

      Well I Know That One And One Make Two
      And That's What I Want Us To Be
      I Really Would Appreciate It
      If You'd Help Me Find The Other Me

      The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One
      The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool
      I Want To Be The Kind Of Me
      That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule

    4. Keep Under Cover

      Love, I'm Going To Pick You Up In The Morning
      Love, I'm Going To Take You Out On A Journey
      I Don't Know Where I'm Going To
      But I Know What I've Been Going Through
      Without You By My Side

      What Good Is Butter If You Haven't Got Bread?
      What Good Is Art When It Hurts Your Head?
      Might As Well Be In Bed

      Keep Under Cover 'Til The Battle Has Ceased
      Keep Out Of Trouble 'Til The Prisoners Are Released

      What Good's A Puzzle When You Haven't A Clue?
      What Good Is Me When I'm Not With You?
      Might As Well Stay In Bed

      Keep Under Cover 'Til The Clouds Desappear
      Keep Out Of Trouble 'Til The Weather Is Bright And Clear

      Love, I'm Going To Pick You Up
      I'm Going To Take You Out
      I Don't Know What I'm Going To Do
      But I Know What I've Been Going Through
      Without You By My Side
      Without You By My Side

      What Good Is Tennis When There Isn't A Ball?
      What Good's A Curtain Without A Call?
      Might As Well Be In Bed

      Keep Under Cover 'Til The Battle Has Ceased
      Keep Out Of Trouble 'Til The Prisoners Are Released

      Love, I'm Going To Pick You Up
      I'm Going To Take You Out
      I Don't Know What I'm Going To Do
      But I Know What I've Been Going Through
      Without You By My Side
      Without You By My Side

      Keep Under Cover

    5. So Bad

      There Is A Pain, Inside My Heart
      You Mean So Much To Me
      Girl, I Love You, Girl, I Love You So Bad

      And If You Leave, My Pain Will Go
      But That's No Good To Me
      Girl, I Love You, Yes, I Love You So Bad

      Well It Feels So Good, Sometimes It Feels So Bad
      This Is Worse Than Anything I've Ever Had

      There Was A Pain, But Now You're Here
      And I Don't Fear A Thing
      Girl, I Love You, Yes, I Love You So Bad
      And She Said, Boy, I Love You
      Boy, I Love You So Bad

      - Solo -

      Girl, I Love You
      Girl, I Love You So Bad

      Well It Feels So Good, Sometimes It Feels So Bad
      This Is Worse Than Anything I've Ever Had

      There Was A Pain, But Now You're Near
      And I Don't Fear A Thing
      Girl, I Love You
      Girl, I Love You So Bad
      And She Said
      Boy, I Love You
      Boy, I Love You So Bad
      Girl, I Love You
      Girl, I Love You

    6. The Man

      There's A Man
      Who Plays The Game Of Life So Well

      His Thoughts You Can Never Tell
      And It's Just The Way He Thought It Would Be
      'Cause The Day Has Come For Him To Be Free

    8. Average Person

      Look At The Average Person
      Speak To The Man In The Street
      Can You Imagine The First One You'd Meet?

      Well, I'm Talking To A Former Engine Driver
      Trying To Find Out What He Used To Do
      Tells Me That He Always Kept His Engine
      Spit And Polished Up As Good As New
      But He Said His Only Great Ambition
      Was To Work With Lions In A Zoo
      Oh To Work With Lions In A Zoo
      Yes Dear, You Heard Right
      Told Me His Ambition Was To Work With Lions Every Night

      Look At The Average Person
      Speak To The Man On The Beat
      Can You Imagine The First One You'd Meet?

      Well, I Met A Woman Working As A Waitress
      I Asked Exactly What It Was She Did
      Said She Worked The Summer Crowd At Seasides
      Winter Time She Ran Away And Hid
      Once She Had A Hollywood Audition
      But The Part Was Given To A Kid
      Yes,The Part Was Given To A Kid
      Yes Sir, You Heard It Right
      Hollywood Ambition Made A Starlet Grown Up Overnight

      Well I Bumped Into A Man Who'd Been A Boxer
      Asked Him What Had Been His Greatest Night
      He Looked Into The Corners Of His Memory
      Searching For A Picture Of The Fight
      But He Said He Always Had A Feeling
      That He Lacked A Little Extra Height
      (Could Have Used A Little Extra Height)
      Yes Mate, You Heard Right
      He Always Had A Feeling That He Might Have Lacked A Little Height

      Look At The Average Person
      Speak To The Man In The Queue
      Can You Imagine The First One Is You?

    12. Twice In A Lifetime

      Now I know that it can easily happen
      To someone like me
      I don't want to step on anybody's toes

      Who knows how to find love
      Think before you give your answer
      Who knows what a mystery may bring

      Once in a life I'm a lucky man
      If I can find the kind of love
      That's gonna last for me

      Twice in a lifetime
      Is one of those unspoken dreams
      We usually reserve for fantasy

      Who knows how we find love
      Stop before you give your answer
      Who knows when a mystery begins

      I know, I know
      I know because it's happening to me
      I know, I know

      Twice in a lifetime
      Is one of those unspoken dreams
      We usually reserve for fantasy

      Who knows how we find love
      Stop before you give your answer
      Who knows when a mystery begins

      I know, I know
      I know because it's happening to me
      I know, I know

    13. We All Stand Together

      Win Or Lose, Sink Or Swim
      One Thing Is Certain We'll Never Give In
      Side By Side, Hand In Hand
      We All Stand Together
      Play The Game, Fight The Fight
      But What's The Point On A Beautiful Night?
      Arm In Arm, Hand In Hand
      We All Stand Together
      La-
      Keeping Us Warm In The Night
      La La La La
      Walk In The Night
      You'll Get It Right
      Repeat
      Win Or Lose, Sink Or Swim
      One Thing Is Certain We'll Never Give In
      Side By Side, Hand In Hand
      We All Stand Together

    14. Simple As That

      I know it isn't easy to refuse
      A lot of thoughts are flying thru' your head
