I never thought I could do it again Just caused me so much pain First time it nearly drove me insane Last time I was crying in the rain How well do you really know? Anyway you better take it slow Watching TV I’m done with the show Then I heard my heart tell me go go go go go go Bye-bye we'll start a brand new day Bye-bye free as soon as I’m on my way Bye-bye Oo yeah But most of all I wanna hear that Rock 'n' Roll again First time I heard that Rock 'n' Roll Back when I was only very small Like the echoes in the Royal Albert Hall Coming out through the distance call And yet just like the night before Started to feel like I want some more When the red lights came down low Then I heard my heart screamin' no no no no no no Bye-bye we’ll start a brand new day Bye-bye free as soon as I’m on my way Bye-bye Oo yeah But most of all I wanna hear that Rock 'n' Roll again And Major Desborough announced “full speed ahead Make sure the journey’s all well prepared We’re taking over another star next to us Claiming what we may find there" Then Private Hamley rushes into the room “Captain, there’s something wrong, we may crash into the moon!” “Down the hatch, immediate detach or we’re surely gonna die soon!” I woke up in a room today Seems like two days just went away I can hear my music softly play And I tried to find something to say But I wondered what I came here for As a thunderstorm started a snow Off the stage I’m done with the show Then I heard my audience scream more more more more more more Bye-bye we’ll start a brand new day Bye-bye free as soon as I’m on my way Bye-bye Oo yeah But most of all I wanna hear that Rock 'n' Roll Just need something that rocks my soul I wanna hear that Rock 'n' Roll again My my my my my I need you so bad When you go away It drives me so mad Since you left me there I couldn't help but cry I really wanted you When you said goodbye

London Town 03:54
And the night comes over the town The midnight trains keep rolling up and down A restless poet drinks gin with a lime Trying to find some rhymes Silver rain falls all day and night The darkest clouds they drench the old street lights In a cold town where you must fight alone Though many have found their way back home This is London town There ain’t no easy life around This is London town And your feet hit the ground Working all day hardly pays the rent Though I spend them all on my booze and entertainment I read my books as the winter comes I hear the buskers' drums Another ship sails to the sea The empty sky she wraps the industry Where some men are rich and some are poor Like you’ve seen many times before This is London town There ain’t no easy life around This is London town And your feet hit the ground A young man holds a hope in his hand But ain’t no place in a rock 'n' roll band Sits besides the fireplace all night long Writing his own songs Fear remains in the deep silent snow On the pavement down the street below Someone said never lose your way Until you make it someday This is London town There ain’t no easy life around This is London town And your feet leave the ground

Baby My Love 03:17
I say baby my love is true And when you’re down, it keeps making me blue I've always got some really good news I wanna tell you ‘Cause I have always wished you were mine And when I see you, you look so fine But if you’re dying for a better time I’m gonna show you Come on, take me there Want you to know I really need you So long, be aware With all my heart I’ve been in love with you You know I think I’ve finally found someone Who does to me what no one else has done So if my friends are here to have some fun I wanna call you Come on, take me there Want you to know I really need you So long, be aware With all my heart I’ve been in love with... Baby my love, notice the sadness breaks my heart in two each time we say goodbye Without your love, beware the loneliness makes me feel so blue and cry I say baby my love is true And when you’re down, it keeps making me blue I've always got some really good news I wanna tell you Come on, take me there Want you to know I really need you So long, be aware With all my heart I’ve been in love with With all my heart I’ve been in love with With all my heart I’ve been in love with you

If I longed forever Would it be mine Anyone who lives a life needs... Love could be sad I'd say I agree Only breaks your heart it’s true I'd say that love is not for me 'til I fell in love with you When you’re sad and feeling so dead Wish I could die instead I love you And I will cry if you won’t be true Love makes you blue I think I know And the pain I had from the start Say those words it may show How I love you with all my heart When you got pain in your heart all the time Wish I could make it mine I love you And I will cry if you won’t be true And love will touch me If you’re here And come to reach me Making me wanna be near Love makes you blue I think I know And the pain I had from the start Say those words it may show How I love you with all my heart When you got pain in your heart all the time Wish I could make it mine I love you And I will cry if you won’t be true I will cry if you won’t be true I will cry if you won’t be true
