Overnite
When
I was seventeen (tell us about it Green)
There
was a world to know about (check it out)
Everyday
she'd call me (what'd she say?)
Is
it over yet? Do you love me?
Ch:
Overnite...and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above...I'll build you another day
Close your eyes...I'll be home before it's light
And all the tears you cry...will dry in the dead of night
And
now I'm in between (Tell us about it Green)
It
all became a mystery (Check it out)
Everyday
she calls me (what does she say)
Is
it over yet? Do you believe them?
Ch:
Overnite...and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above...I'll build you another day
Close your eves...I'll be home before it's light
And all the fears you have...will die in the dead of night
Someday
...maybe soon...
we
could show them a way
I
would love just to watch it falling
Oh
my pretty one...show me a way
Ch:
Overnite...I heard satellite say
There'll be a wind for the west...to blow all your dreams away
Close your eyes...and maybe before it's light
Oh all the hopes that you have...will die in the dead of night
Ch:
Overnite...and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above...I'll build you another day
Close your eves...I'll be home before it's light
And all the tears you cry...will dry in the dead of night
Ch:
Overnite...and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above...I'll build you another day
Close your eves...I'll be home before it's light
Oh all the hopes that you have...will die the dead of night

First
Boy In This Town
I
was the first boy in this town to love you little girl
Come
back baby I know it's over
I
was the first boy in this town to love you little girl
Come
back baby I know it's over
I
could be new...for you...again
I
was the first boy in this town to love you little girl
The
one cute cookie who beat the boredom
Stay
for a day ...or...two... again
I
was the first boy in this town to love you little girl
And
you know 'bout it (know 'bout it)
Only
negation's gonna last forever
And
the good girls get to know 'bout it
Ch:
Lovesick...and I've taken too much
And I'm lovesick ...never taken enough now baby
Lovesick and baby I don't wanna be
Lovesick ...anymore, let me tell you 'bout it
I
got your number you know I got your number
I
got your number you know I got it
Come
back baby I know it's over
I'd
love you to look...me up...someday
I
was the first boy in this town to love you little girl
Hot
shot sugar returns to toytown
You
got to do ... the world ... your way
I
was the first boy in this town to love you little girl
And
you know 'bout it (know 'bout it)
This
repetition's ...gonna last for ever...
And
the good girls get to know 'bout it
Ch:
Lovesick...and I've taken too much
And I'm lovesick ...never taken enough now baby
Lovesick and baby I don't wanna be
Lovesick ...anymore, let me tell you 'bout it
I
got your number you know I got it/Br:
And
you know 'bout it (know 'bout it)
Only
negation's gonna last forever
And
the good girls get to know 'bout it
Ch:
Lovesick(I want ya)...and I've taken too much
And I'm lovesick (I want ya) ...now I've taken enough now baby

All
That We Are
Gonna
get that girl and show her the time of my life
Gonna
get that girl and show her the end of the world
Maybe
I'll be the one thing she needs when I've found her
And
worn your world away
Gonna
get that girl and show her the time of my life
Gonna
get that girl and show her the end of the world
She
could be free of all that she sees when I've found her
And
worn her world away
Ch:
We'll believe now...in nothing at all
Nothing compares with the love of the one for...
All we are now...and ever could be
Somewhere the forces of love come to disagree
Gonna
give that girl a present that never arrives
Gonna
give that girl a future that's hard to believe
Maybe
I'll be the one thing she needs when I've found her
And
worn your world away
Gonna
give that girl a present that never arrives
Gonna
give that girl a future that's hard to believe
She
could be free of all that she sees when I've found her
And
worn her world away
Ch:
We'll believe now...in nothing at all
Nothing compares with the love of the one for...
All we are now...and ever could be
Somewhere the forces of love come to disagree

OH
PATTI (Don't feel sorry for loverboy)
I
had a dream of us together
In
a world where we knew what was true
Oh
Patti don't lead the life that I left you with
It's
been such a long time and I know
We
tried together to discover
Why
we failed the test of our time
Oh
Patti don't lead the life that they made for you
I'll
be gone a long while and you'll know
Ch:
And don't feel sorry for lover boy
You know he wants the world to love him
And then he goes and spoils it all
Don't feel sorry for lover boy
He wants the world to love him
Then he goes and spoils it all for love
There's
no one out here you can listen to
And
certainly never yourself
Oh
Patti don't lead the life that I left you with
Listen
to the cars call in the rain
I
got so tired of concluding
That
there's nothing for us to conclude
Oh
Patti don't look for certainty in your life
I've
gone where a lost cause can be found
Rpt.
Ch. to end.

BAM
SALUTE
Bam
Salute and all the right and reason now are out of reach
They
ran away with beauty baby - out to Bop-A-Re-Bop beach
Bam
Salute and when the work is over what can baby do?
But
undermine and overthrow the cheatin' of the chosen few
Br.
Bop-A-Re-Bop
beach now baby
Ch:
Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close
To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time
And last but not least - in the heart of the beast
There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago
Bam
Salute and all the just and proper you've been waiting for
Sailed
away with virtue baby - out to Bop-A-Re-Bop shore
Bam
Salute and now the judge and jury - you can lock away
And
all your world's abandoned to - the wages for a working day
Bop-A-Re-Bop
shore now baby
Ch:
Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close
To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time
And last but not least - in the heart of the beast
There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago
Br.
Ch:
Oh the one thing I know - is that wherever you go
You won't find the peace of mind you're looking for - not any more
And since that's the case - put a smile on your face
You can love me - we can live above the law
Ch:
Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close
To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time
And last but not least - in the heart of the beast
There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago
Rpt.
Ch. to end.
