SMOKIE:

I’LL MEET YOU AT MIDNIGHT
A summer evening on the Champs Elysées
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
A sea of faces in a crowded café
The sound of laughter as the music plays

Jean Claude was s student at the université
Louise Marie was just a world away
He recalled the night they met was warm with laughter
the words were music as she turned away

I’ll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I’ll meet you at Midnight

Each cigarette will light a thousand faces
IT’S YOUR LIFE
Who said the web of life is woven in a dream?
‘Cause your life is filled with dreams you can’t believe.
So the only way you live with it is acting ev’ry scene
And you play the part so well that you deceive

Now and again you find you ain’t got a friend
Who knows?
I come and I go
But it’s your life
It’s your life
That’s your life

Though the world is overcrowded you still found an empty place
And I know he leaves you helpless and confused
And your search for love has often left you starring into space
Just another broken heart so what’s the use?

How many times have I been so hard to find

You know
I come and I go
But it’s your life
It’s your life
That’s your life

How does it feel when he’s not around?
Can he be real when he can’t be found nowhere?

Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight?
And who let herself be led so easily?
And who let it burn until the early morning light
And in the early morning gave herself to me?

And so at last you know
That it’s your life
It’s your life
But it’s your life

It’s your life.......
Each hour that passed seemded like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared
I’ll meet you at midnight’LL MEET YOU AT MIDNIGHT
Under the moonlight
I’ll meet you at Midnight

But Jean-Claude, Louise Marie will never be.

A summer morning on the Champs Elysées
the empty tables of the street cafés
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jean-Claude is left to face another day

I’ll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I’ll meet you at Midnight

Each cigarette will light a thousand faces
Each hour that passed seemded like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared
I’ll meet you at midnight
I’ll meet you at Midnight

Oh, but Jean-Claude, Louise Marie will never be.

LAY BACK IN THE ARMS OF SOMEONE
If you want my sympathy
Just open your heart to me
You’ll get whatever you’ll ever need.
You think that’s too high for you
Oh but baby, I would die for you
When there’s nothing left you know where I’ll be.

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

So baby just call on me
When you want all of me
I’ll be your lover, I’ll be your friend.

And there’s nothing I won’t do
‘Cause baby I just live for you
With nothing to hide no need to pretend.

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

Oh I know you think that’s too high for you
Oh but baby, I would die for you
When there’s nothing left I’ll be with you.

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE
Sally called when she got the word
She said I suppose you’ve heard
About Alice.

Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice’s drive.

Oh I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

We grew up together, two kids in the park
We carved our initials deep in the bark
Me and Alice.

Now she walks through the door with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice’s drive.

Oh I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, hey I know how to help
Get over Alice.

She said, now Alice is gone, but I’m still here
You know I’ve been waiting for twenty-four years
And the big limousine disappeared.

I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
But I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
No I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice

MEXICAN GIRL
Juanita came to me last night, and she cried over and over
Ooh, Daddy, I love you, you know, and I think it’s the moonlight.
She looked so fine, well she looked alright, and she moaned
Ooh, Daddy, move over
Oh, Baby, you know what I like and I think it’s the moonlight
Made in Mexico, schooled in France, ooh la lovin’ she needed no teachin’
Oh man I can say international ways I believe in.

Mexican girl, don’t leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called
My Mexican girl

Her skin was soft as the velvet sky and her hair it shone in the moonlight
And as the music did play, well the night turned to day, and I held her tight.

Then she looked at me with her dark brown eyes, and she whispered Hasta La Vista
Well, I don’t know what that means, but it sounded so good so I kissed her

Mexican girl, don’t leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called

My Mexican girl, don’t leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called
My Mexican girl.

EGYÉB:

Gimmei... Half past twelve And I’m watching the late show in my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds Blowing outside the window as I look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the phone There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Movie stars Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win It’s so different from the world I’m living in Tired of t.v. I open the window and I gaze into the night But there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
