It's all the same, only the names will change Everyday it seems we're wasting away Another place where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night just to get back home I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive Dead or alive Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days And the people I meet always go their separate ways Sometimes you tell the day By the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone all you do is think I just ride I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back I've been everywhere, and I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side I'm wanted dead or alive And I ride I still drive, dead or alive

I've been kissed by a rose! There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea You became the light on the dark side of me Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill But did you know That when it snows My eyes become large and The light that you shine can be seen Baby (I) compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey The more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey There is so much a man can tell you So much he can say You remain My power, my pleasure, my pain,baby To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby? But did you know That when it snows My eyes become large and The light that you shine can be seen Baby (I) compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey The more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey There is so much a man can tell you So much he can say You remain My power, my pleasure, my pain,baby To me you're like a growing addiction that I, I can't deny Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby? But did you know That when it snows My eyes become large and The light that you shine can be seen Baby (I) compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey The more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey Baby (I) compare you to a kiss from a rose On the grey The more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah (And) now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey

Meeting you, with a view to a kill Face to face in secret places, feel the chill Night fall covers me, but you know the plans Im making Still oversea, could it be the whole world opening wide A sacred why? a mystery gaping inside The weekends why? Until we dance into the fire! That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire! To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance into the fire! That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire! Choice for you, is the view to a kill Between the shades, assasination standing still The first crystal tears, fall as snowflakes on your body First time in years, to drench you skin with lovers rosy stain A chance to find the phoenix for the flame A chance to die.. But can we dance into the fire? That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire? To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance into the fire? That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire! Dance into the fire! Into the fire Into the fire Into the fire! Dance into the fire! That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire! To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance into the fire! That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire! When all we see.. is the view to a kill

It's been seven hours and fifteen days Since you took your love away I go out every night and sleep all day Since you took your love away Since you been gone I can do whatever I want I can see whomever I choose I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant But nothing ... I said nothing can take away these blues 'Cause nothing compares ... Nothing compares to you It's been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me baby where did I go wrong? I could put my arms around every girl I see But they'd only remind me of you I went to the doctor guess what he told me Guess what he told me? He said, boy, you better have fun No matter what you do But he's a fool ... 'Cause nothing compares ... Nothing compares to you ... All the flowers that you planted, mama In the back yard All died when you went away I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try 'Cause nothing compares ... Nothing compares to you

And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friends, I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full... I've travelled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way Regrets? I've had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all and I stood tall And did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing But now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way... Oh no. Oh no, not me I did it my way For what is a man? What has he got? If not himself - Then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way Yes, I did it my way! Ah! I did it my way! Yes, it was my way

There'll be times When my crimes Will seem almost unforgivable I give in to sin Because you have to make this life livable But when you think I've had enough From your sea of love I'll take more than another riverful And I'll make it all worthwhile I'll make your heart smile Strangelove Strange highs and strange lows Strangelove That's how my love goes Strangelove Will you give it to me Will you take the pain I will give to you Again and again And will you return it There'll be days When I stray I may appear to be Constantly out of reach I give in to sin Because I like to practice what I preach I'm not trying to say I'll have it all my way I'm always willing to learn When you've got something to teach And I'll make it all worthwhile I'll make your heart smile Pain will you return it I'll say it again - pain Pain will you return it I won't say it again I give in Again and again I give in Will you give it to be I give in I'll say it again I give in I give in Again and again I give in That's how my love goes I give in I'll say it again I give in

Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose Play me the melodies I want to know So I can teach my children, oh Pray tell me the story of young C Chulainn How his eyes were dark his expression sullen And how he'd fight and always won And how they cried when he was fallen Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land And how her sons died at her own hand And how fools obey commands Oh tell me the legends of long ago Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Will she no come back to me Will she no come back to me Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling Far away you rolling river Roll down the mountain side On down on down go lassie go Oh Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the Black Rose Play me the melodies so I might know So I can tell my children, oh My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love It was a joy that Joyce brought to me While William Butler waits And Oscar, he's going Wilde Ah sure, Brendan where have you Behan? Looking for a girl with green eyes My dark Rosaleen is my only colleen That Georgie knows Best But Van is the man Starvation once again Drinking whiskey in the jar-o Synge's Playboy of the Western World As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there Where the Mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Is such a long, long way from Tipperary
