and the ten to get yourself in.

And I hear it's tight most ev'ry night,

but now I might be mistaken.

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree?

Travel the world and the seven seas

Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree?

Travel the world and the seven seas

Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused

I wanna use you and abuse you

I wanna know what's inside you

(Whispering) Hold your head up, movin' on

Keep your head up, movin' on

Hold your head up, movin' on

Keep your head up, movin' on

Hold your head up, movin' on

Keep your head up, movin' on

Movin' on!

Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree?

Travel the world and the seven seas

Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

I'm gonna use you and abuse you

I'm gonna know what's inside

"Mr. Roboto" (fm Caught In The Act 1981)

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,

Mata ah-oo hima de

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,

Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin

With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin

My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.

So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised

I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide

To keep me alive-just keep me alive

Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see

I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free

I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know

I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control

Beyond my control-we all need control

I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask

So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo

Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto

For doing the jobs that nobody wants to

And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto

For helping me escape just when I needed to

Thank you-thank you, thank you

I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology

Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last

To throw away this mask

So everyone can see

My true identity...

I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

better???

Ok, chased down the wife & got it on ;)

Now to continue with the game.

Olivia Newton John

Lets get physical

I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like,

Makin' good conversation

I gotta handle you just right,

You know what I mean

I took you to an intimate restaurant,

Then to a suggestive movie

There's nothin' left to talk about,

Unless it's horizontally

Let's get physical, physical,

I wanna get physical, let's get into physical

Let me hear your body talk,

Your body talk, let me hear your body talk

I've been patient, I've been good,

Tried to keep my hands on the table

It's gettin' hard this holdin' back,

You know what I mean

I'm sure you'll understand my point of view,

We know each other mentally

You gotta know that you're bringin' out

The animal in me

Let's get animal, animal,

I wanna get animal, let's get into animal

Let me hear your body talk,

Your body talk, let me hear your body talk

In the middle of a railroad track (thunder) [...of a lightning attack]

I looked round

And i knew there was no turning back (thunder)

My mind raced

And i thought what could i do (thunder)

And i knew

There was no help, no help from you (thunder)

Sound of the drums

Beatin' in my heart

The thunder of guns

Tore me apart

Some dancers who gave a good time

Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County

Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.

He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.

His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow,

But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.

I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son.

I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:

"Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun.

Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.

Walk away from trouble if you can.

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.

I hope you're old enough to understand:

Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."

There's someone for ev'ryone and Tommy's love was Becky.

In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.

One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'.

They took turns at Becky.... There was three of them!

Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'.

The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.

He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture.

As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again:

"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.

Walk away from trouble if you can.

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.

I hope you're old enough to understand:

Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."

The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom.

One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor.

When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! ol' yellow's leavin'."

But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door.

Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him.

He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all.

When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'.

He said, "This one's for Becky," as he watched the last one fall.

And I heard him say,

"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you done.

I walk away from trouble when I can.

Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek,

and Papa, I sure hope you understand:

Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man."

Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county

I like this game!

Y & T - Midnight in Tokyo

From afar I have come

’Cause you called to me

A guitar was the sound that you heard

Like a song on a wave

From across the sea

Like a vaguely familiar word

The ring of fire won’t discourage me

Though the earth moved under my feet

The day that we touched

And now, I’m here with you

But now, I’m wanting to

Get back to my home and the ones

I miss so much

CHORUS:

Midnight, midnight in Tokyo

Where the neon lights the land of the rising sun

Midnight, oh midnight I must go

But one day I’ll return if you’ll only wait for me

In each place I can feel the warmth of you

In your face I can see that you’re strong

And respect is what I’ve learned from you

When I’m gone, it won’t be for long

I ride the bullet through the heart of you

Though the winds will blow

And the rain will fall when I’m gone

But now, I’m here with you

And now, I’m wanting to get back to my home

And the ones who miss me so much

I dunno, all that work to get an 'O' at the end of the title so Psycho could have another go with his entry...

Later

Jabo

P.S. Nice to see you back on the forum BG - Hope you had a nice holiday
