1. BEGINNING OF THE END

Happy days are here again
It's official from Number Ten
One moving in, one moving out
All change on the roundabout.

Looking good for the press
Gucci or Prada, let me guess
The champion is a wonder horse
The favourite to make it round the course

Is this the beginning of the end
Or the end of the beginning
The way you've got me going tells me I don't know
I don't understand
The new song that you are singing
The jury's out we're gonna let you know

Beginning of the end
Or the end of the beginning
The way you've got me going tells me I don't know
I just can't believe
The new record you are spinning
The jury's out we're gonna let you know

Ooh la la, a song and dance
Push to the front and take a chance
Looking out for number one
See the picture in The Sun

New improved and feeling good
Maybe a move to Hollywood
And party on all the time
Who cares about the mess you leave behind

Is this the beginning of the end
Or the end of the beginning
The way you've got me going tells me I don't know
I don't understand
The new song that you are singing
The jury's out we're gonna let you know

Beginning of the end
Or the end of the beginning
The way you've got me going tells me I don't know
I just can't believe
The new record you are spinning
The jury's out we're gonna let you know

From beginning to end
I just don't understand

Is this the beginning of the end
Or the end of the beginning
The way you've got me going tells me I don't know
I don't understand
The new song that you are singing
The jury's out we're gonna let you know

Beginning of the end
Or the end of the beginning
The way you've got me going tells me I don't know
I just can't believe
The new record you are spinning
The jury's out we're gonna let you know


2. ALRIGHT

Can't believe that I'm standing here alone
How you used me like a stepping stone
I'm getting used to not having you around
Learning to fly now, I'm gaining ground

No way you can bring me down
I'm heading for the good times

Alright, I'll be alright
I'm moving on, no more hate, no more lies
OK, I'll be OK
I'm moving on, I'll live to fight another day
No more, cos now I've got my dreams in sight
No more, from now I'm gonna be alright

It's been a while now, life is such a breeze
You brought me down, brought me to my knees
I was blindfolded, being led astray
I couldn't see, couldn't find my way

No way you can bring me down
I'm heading for the good times

Alright, I'll be alright
I'm moving on, no more hate, no more lies
OK, I'll be OK
I'm moving on, I'll live to fight another day
No more, cos now I've got my dreams in sight
No more, from now I'm gonna be alright

Alright, I'll be alright
I'm moving on, no more hate, no more lies
OK, I'll be OK
Alright, I'll be alright
I'm moving on, no more hate, no more lies
OK, I'll be OK
I'm moving on, I'll live to fight another day
No more, cos now I've got my dreams in sight

No more, from now I'm gonna be
No more, from now I'm gonna be
No more, from now I'm gonna be alright

Alright, alright
OK, OK……….Alright


2. PENNSYLVANIA BLUES TONIGHT

Take me to another place, a place that I can go
Where nobody looks the same and everybody's slow
Nothing seems to matter, yet somebody seems to care
Even though it's clearer now, there's something in the air
Oh, oh, what can I say?
Oh, oh, what can I say?

Taken lots of sweety things and looked towards the sky
Laughed until the morning came, just me, my friend and I
Teacher seems to pass us by and only is it then
We can stop and listen and I know we'll be there when
Oh, oh, what can I say?
Oh, oh, what can I say?

Funny money in paradise
Under cover is very nice
Maybe baby it seems alright
Jeffrey Lynne and George H tonight
Double vision and out of sight
Pennsylvania Blues tonight
Pennsylvania Blues alright

Thinking ‘bout a miracle a free and easy way
Seven lonely travellers all bring it into play
Nothing seems to matter and nobody seems to care
Even though it's clearer now, there's something in the air
Oh, oh, what can I say?
Oh, oh, what can I say?

Funny money in paradise
Under cover is very nice
Maybe baby it seems alright
Jeffrey Lynne and George H tonight
Double vision and out of sight
Pennsylvania Blues tonight
Pennsylvania Blues alright

It doesn't mean a thing
Not anything at all
It's something good to sing
Pennsylvania Blues tonight
Pennsylvania Blues alright


4. I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU ANYMORE

When I hear you say
Gonna leave and walk away
And I know know know you're hurting for sure
Well I'm telling you
I ain't laughing and it's true
That I don't wanna hurt you anymore

It's been a while since we met and got it on
Said all the things we should say
Played all the games in a lovers carry on
Time after time every day
Nothing at all then was ever gonna change
And there could never be another way

When I hear you say
Gonna leave and walk away
And I know know know you're hurting for sure
Well I'm telling you
I ain't laughing and it's true
That I don't wanna hurt you anymore

There was a time when we didn't give a damn
Watching the sun always shine
Walking along down an endless avenue
Everything seemed to be fine
Then it was gone and we let it carry on
And now it's only hurting all the time

When I hear you say
Gonna leave and walk away
And I know know know you're hurting for sure
Well I'm telling you
I ain't laughing and it's true
That I don't wanna hurt you anymore

If you say goodbye
And I know you wanna cry
And you long long long for something that's more
Well I'm telling you
It's because of all you do
That I don't wanna hurt you anymore


5. ELECTRIC ARENA

I have been there
I've been seen there
And I keep going on
Telling anyone
Who'll keep hanging on
That I don't mind at all

Electric Arena
Wired for sound
End of the alleyway
Back end of any town
Electric Arena
I loved you so
Taught me the kind of things
My mama should never know

Ooh my memory
Always takes me
Back to way back when
Things were happening
Always happening
All because of you

Electric Arena
Wired for sound
End of the alleyways
Back end of any town
Electric Arena
I loved you so
Taught me the kind of things
My mama should never know

When I'm feeling blue
I sometimes think of you
Then I'm feeling so much better

I'm wondering
Was it better then
Or is it all the same
Was it happening
And still happening
All because of you

Electric Arena
Wired for sound
End of the alleyways
Back end of any town
Electric Arena
I loved you so
Taught me the kind of things
My mama should never know


6. GRAVY TRAIN

I'm on the Gravy Train, riding into the night
On the Gravy Train, it's all gonna be alright
Put my last on the spinning wheel
Ship came in, one big deal
I'm on the Gravy Train- Let it roll

Gonna live it up, moving to easy street
Yeah live it up, I landed on my feet
Gonna live it up, you can't keep me down
Buy myself a big new car, drive it all over town
I'm on the Gravy Train- Let it roll

Gonna lose my mind, take leave of my senses
Don't give me no bill, put it down to expenses
No more work, no more worry
I signed on the line and collected my easy money

I'm on the Gravy Train, heading into the light
Yeah on the Gravy Train, it's all gonna be alright
The Gravy Train rollin' down that hill
Last I heard it was going still
Na na na na na na

I'm on the Gravy Train
On the Gravy Train
Let it roll- let it roll


7. FIGURE OF EIGHT

Yesterday, I couldn't wait
I thought today was gonna be great
Now it's here, I'm a mess
I fell in love with you, I confess
I'm out of phase, out of sync
So confused, I can only think in

A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight
A figure of eight

Feel my shoes touch the ground
From where I look they're upside down
Cheerful soles, happy feet
Not a clue they're 'bout to meet

A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight
A figure of eight

Aah.....

Yesterday, I couldn't wait
I thought today was gonna be great
Set my sails, cruise along
What could possibly go wrong?

A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight
A figure of eight

A figure of eight
A figure of eight
Round and round
Never straight
To the point
I'm trying to make
My mind's only working in a figure of eight


8. YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME

Hey you, what did I do?
Is it me? That's nothing new
Another bluff? Don't you dare
All I want is to show I care

Is this the way it's gotta be?
It's clear as mud it seems to me
Women only want one thing
When I know what it is
You're gonna hear me sing

You're the one for me
You're the one for me
I don't care if it takes all night
We're gonna work this out
Gonna do it right

Come on, don't be down
I know we can turn this around
It's getting late, time won't wait
Believe in me, I believe in fate

You're the one for me
You're the one for me
I don't care if it takes all night
We're gonna work this out
Gonna do it right

Don't be afraid if things get tough
Cos I think we've got more than enough
I'm waiting for the day
When I get to hear you say

You're the one for me
You're the one for me
I don't care if it takes all night
We're gonna work this out
Gonna do it right

You're the one for me
You're the one for me
I don't care if it takes all night
We're gonna work this out
Gonna do it right


9. MY LITTLE HEARTBREAKER

What's been happening in your world again
While I've been gone?
Are you wandering, or in love again?
No no no, it can't be so
Is your wandering happening?

I've been thinking 'bout ya
My little heartbreaker
I feel lost without ya
My little heartbreaker
Maybe, baby
I should live without ya
My little heartbreaker
Take a listen to what I'm telling ya
You know it's true
You're the kind of girl I've been looking for

Take a look again, does it matter when
It's Babylon
Can we carry on, make it big and strong
No no no, can't say no
So let's carry on, take it on

I've been thinking 'bout ya
My little heartbreaker
I feel lost without ya
My little heartbreaker
Maybe, baby
I should live without ya
My little heartbreaker
Take a listen to what I'm telling ya
You know it's true
You're the kind of girl I've been looking for

I've been thinking 'bout ya
My little heartbreaker
I feel lost without ya
My little heartbreaker
Maybe, baby
I should live without ya
My little heartbreaker
Take a listen to what I'm telling ya
You know it's true
You're the kind of girl I've been looking for


10. HOLD ME

This feels like something that I've had before
Changing places with myself once more
Round and round, I don't know day from night
Changing faces as I'm losing sight

Woh hold me
Hold me, I'm tired now
Yeah hold me, hold me, hold me, I'm tired now

Just like the rain that's falling all around
It disappears, like friends I thought I'd found
I can't believe that it's the same with you
So tell me baby that it isn't true

Woh hold me
Hold me, I'm tired now
Yeah hold me, hold me, hold me, I'm tired now

On Tuesdays I don't want to socialise
On Wednesdays I wake up to realise
The colour's changing and the mood is right
Oh baby, won't you stay with me tonight

Woh hold me
Hold me, I'm tired now
Yeah hold me, hold me, hold me, I'm tired now

Woh hold me
Hold me, I'm tired now
Yeah hold me, hold me, hold me, I'm tired now


11. SADDLING UP

Always there, you think I don't matter
Treat me bad, it's gonna get badder
Sad times'll be a whole lot sadder
Changed my mind, now I feel fine

Kissed goodbye to all your flirtin'
Calling time on all your hurtin'
I admit, it just ain't workin'
I booked some space in a different place

And I'm saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
Saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
Yeah saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)

And I'm saddlin' up, I'm-a thinkin' straight
Saddlin' up, I just can't wait
Saddlin' up, it's-a never too late
Whoa, saddlin' up
Whoa, I'm saddlin' up

I'll put you back in your place girl
Trailer trash, a waste of space girl
Shouldn'a called me cactus face, well
I ain't fussed, now eat my dust

Cos I'm saddlin' up, I've got no fear
Saddlin' up, I'm outta here
Saddlin' up, I'm-a disappear
Whoa, saddlin' up
Whoa, I'm saddlin' up

I thread my reins
Adjust my girth
I wax my boots
I shine my spurs
Whoa, saddlin' up

I'm saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
I'm saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
I'm saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
Whoa, saddlin' up

I'm saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
Yeah saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
I'm saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
Whoa, saddlin' up

I'm saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
Yeah saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
I'm saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
Whoa, saddlin' up


12. BAD NEWS

I was born in the middle of nowhere
They found me in a sack
I never knew no love or affection
So I never let it held me back
Now the time has moved along
And I'm wiser as I'm older
Well balanced? That I am
I've got a chip on each of my shoulders
I'm on a mission to spread the word
Of the meaning of the blues
So watch out now, here's Johnny!

Believe I'm bad news
Oh yes I am
Oh yes I am

I ain't got no heart to speak of
And my soul is black
So I'll take yours for my own
Don't ever ask me for them back
Once I was good and true
I even tried to become a believer
But I soon found out where I should be praying
The Church of The Lying Deceiver
And when you think that I'm good to go
I put on those walking shoes
To find myself another sucker like you

Believe I'm bad news
Hell yes I am
Believe I'm bad news
Oh yes I am
Oh yes I am

And when you think that I'm good to go
I put on those walking shoes
To find myself another sucker like you

Believe I'm bad news
Oh yes I am
Believe I'm bad news
Hell yes I am
Oh yes I am


13. TONGUE TIED

This is the way I feel
I'm feeling tongue tied
This is the way I feel
I'm feeling numb
When you walked by, I knew that I
Would fall in love, love with you

This is the way I feel
It's just like flying
This is the way I feel
I'm all undone
Time rages on
It's come and gone
Time has a way
Plays with us

I'm just dreaming of a time long ago
I'm just dreaming of the past
I've been feeling that there's not long to go
Why does living go so fast?

When I was running wild,
Was in a tailspin
Wishing I was the child
I'd never been
So many times, so many climbs
Where does it go, oh from here?

I'm just dreaming of a time long ago
I'm just dreaming of the past
I've been feeling that there's not long to go
Why does living go so fast?

I'm just dreaming of a time long ago
I'm just dreaming of the past
I've been feeling that there's not long to go
Why does living go so fast?

Why does living go so fast?
Why does living go so fast?


14. I AIN'T WASTING MY TIME (Bonustrack Version UK)

There are times when I want it all to go away
Am I gonna leave, or am I gonna stay?
I'm living, I'm dying, I'm laughing, I'm crying
I'm trying, I'm trying
But I don't know

Other times when I think it's going all my way
Wanna pick up the pieces, make it all OK
I'm highing, I'm lowing, I'm coming, I'm going
I'm trying, I'm trying
And yes I know

That it's fine, I ain't wasting time
I don't mind, cos I know she's mine, all mine
And I never felt better before
We're OK
And I ain't wasting my time

There are days that I never seem to understand
Why I'm taking off, just when I need to land
I'm running, I'm hiding, I'm slipping, I'm sliding
I'm trying, I'm trying
But I don't know

Other days when I feel I hold it in my hands
Ain't nothing gonna stop me realise my plans
I'm sitting, I'm talking, I'm sleeping, I'm walking
I'm trying, I'm trying
And yes I know

That it's fine, I ain't wasting time
I don't mind, cos I know she's mine, all mine
And I never felt better before
We're OK
And I ain't wasting my time

That it's fine, I ain't wasting time
I don't mind, cos I know she's mine, all mine
And I never felt better before
We're OK
And I ain't wasting my time


14. ONE BY ONE (Bonustrack Version EU)

Seen a lot of places
Looked at many faces, one by one
And I wonder where they've been

And when I see my good friends
Standing around me, one by one
Then I know just what it means
Only happens in my dreams

There's been a lot of games to play
I've tried to live a better way
Had to do it my own way
It didn't happen every day

And when I see the angels
Walking around me, one by one
Then I'll know just what to do

I'll think of all the places
Remember all the faces, one by one
Then I'll take a look at you
And I'll know those dreams were true

There could be other games to play
I'll leave 'em for another day
Now I'm learning what to say
And I can look the other way

How I've changed, since I met you
And now I wanna carry on
This love, I know can take us through
And all the hurt and pain will be undone

There's so many thought inside my head
About the things I could have said
And all the words I should have read
Now I can think of you instead

And all the other games to play
I'll leave 'em for another day
Cos now I'm learning what to say
And I can look the other way
Ooh
