I Am The Greatest

When i was a little boy,
Way back home in liverpool,
My mama told me, i was great.

Then when i was a teenager,
I knew that i had got something going,
All my friends told me i was great.

And now i'm a man,
A woman took me by the hand,
And you know what she told me...i was great.

I was in the greatest show on earth,
For what it was worth.
Now i'm only thirty-two;
And all i wanna do, is boogaloo!

Hey!

I looked in the mirror,
I saw my wife and kids,
And you know what they told me...i was great.

Yes, my name is billy shears,
You know it has been for so many years.
Now i'm only thirty-two;
And all i wanna do, is boogaloo!

Hey, hey, hey, (hey, hey, hey) yeah!

(hey, hey, hey)

I'm the greatest and you better believe it, baby!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

I'm gonna be the greatest in this world, (ho!)
In the next world and in any world! (hey!)

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right!

Weight Of The World

Maybe your daddy never held you like you should,
Maybe your mama just held on the best she could.
Ev'ry soul has a secret,
Give it away or keep it,
But yesterday's gone so tell me why.

You carry the weight, the weight of the world,
It's breakin' you down on your back like a boulder.
Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl,
Get it off of your shoulder.
I know you've been used,
But you gotta lose the weight of the world.

Maybe i haven't always been there just for you,
Maybe i try but then i got my own life too.
Ev'ry heart has a hunger,
I'm not getting any younger,
I got all the crosses i can bear.

Don't gimme the weight, the weight of the world,
It's breakin' me down on my back like a boulder.
Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl,
Get it off of my shoulder.
You know i've been used,
And i gotta lose the weight of the world.

It all comes down to who you crucify.
You either kiss the future or the past goodbye,
We could fly so high.

But we carry the weight, the weight of the world,
It's breakin' us down on our backs like a boulder.
Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl,
Get it off of our shoulders.
We've all been used,
And we gotta lose the weight of the world.

It's takin' us down and the night's growin' colder,
Just blame it on fate, that was yesterday, girl.
And we're just growin' older.
We've all been used,
Now it's time to lose the weight of the world,
The weight of the world,
The weight of the world.

Tango All Night

We were playing at a club in costa rica,
Where the latin lovers come to find romance,
When the lady who was dancin' on the tables looked our way.

I wanna tango all night, mambo till daylight,
That was all she said.
But when she showed us how, i almost lost my head.

Then she took us to a little hacienda,
We were hopin' that her mama was away.
Then the lady who was dancin' through her garden turned to say:

I wanna tango all night, mambo till daylight,
That was all she said.
But when she showed us how, i almost lost my head.

I wanna tango all night, rumba by moonlight,
That was what she said.
And when she told us why, our faces all turned red.

We'll do the samba too,
And cha cha through the room.
But when her mama, sisters and brothers danced they,
They began to sing:

We wanna tango all night, that was what they said.
And when they all showed up, i knew we've been misled.

We wanna tango all night, ay ay ay ay ay,
We're gonna mambo all night, ay ay ay ay ay,
We're gonna rumba all night, ay ay ay ay ay.

I said, tango all night,
Rumba in the moonlight, (ay ay ay ay ay)
We're gonna tango all night, (ay ay ay ay ay)
We're gonna tango all night, (ay ay ay ay ay)
Oh, rumba all night long. (ay ay ay ay ay)

Gypsies in Flight

Leaving again,
I don't know where or when we'll meet again.

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

I see your face
In ev'ryone who passes, can't take your place.

With some regrets,
Our affair has ended but who can forget?

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

I'd like to thank you
For spending time with me.
And when the morning comes,
I know you must be free.

Leaving again,
I don't know where or when we'll meet again.

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

Gypsies in flight, (gypsies in flight)
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

Gypsies in flight,
Gypsies in flight.

Lady Gaye

Lady gaye,
I know you'll never, ever change your way,
There is no one who's been through more than you
And still come through with love to spare,
You really care,
You lovely lady, you.

Lady gaye,
You're really not the woman you portray,
Well, i don't mean that disrespectfully,
For you have always shared your home
With all who've come to love you like i do,
To love you like i do.

It's time that all you people turned to look,
And take a leaf out of this lady's book.

Lady gaye,
When morning comes there's nothing left to say,
But you have shown me what life's all about.
It's time to shout your praises 'round,
They'll never knock you down,
We love you, lady gaye.

Well, it's time to shout our praises 'round,
They'll never knock you down,
We love you, lady gaye,
We love you, lady gaye,
We love you, lady gaye, (love you)
We love you, lady gaye, (love you)
We love you, lady gaye, (love you)
We love you, lady gaye. (love you)

(i love, i love, i love, i love, i love you,
I love, i love, i love, i love, i love you,
I love, i love, i love, i love, i love you,
I love, i love, i love, i love, i love you)

Pure Gold

Tell me, is she ev'rything i see
Or is she really not the one for me?
We know, and though some may disagree,
But do they know the way we want to be?

And do i still believe in stories i've been told?
Are all the things she brings me worth their weight in gold?
Oh yeah, (oh yeah) pure gold,
Oh yeah, (oh yeah) pure gold.

Building something, one thing made to last,
And holding something special from the past.

And do i still believe in stories we've been told?
Are all the things she brings me worth her weight in gold?
Oh yeah, (oh yeah) pure gold, (gotta believe me)
Oh yeah, (oh yeah) pure gold.

And do i still believe in stories i've been told?
Are all the things she brings me worth their weight in gold?
Oh yeah, (oh yeah) pure gold,
Oh yeah, (oh yeah) pure gold, (come on, over here, babe)
Oh yeah, pure gold,
Pure gold, (pure gold) pure gold,
Ev'rything she brings me is
(ev'rything she brings me is) pure gold,
(ev'rything she brings me is pure gold)
Pure gold, i said, pure gold.

Love Is a Many Splendoured Thing

Love is a many splendoured thing,
It's the april rose that only grows
In the early spring.
Love is nature's way of giving
A reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.

Once on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist, two lovers kissed
And the world stood still.
Then your fingers touched my silent heart
And taught it how to sing,
Yes, true love's a many splendoured thing.

Red and Black Blues

Ended a worker, according to plan,
'Cause you're just a woman and i'm just a man.
Whatever the future might happen to bring,
It'll be the right thing.

It's all been happening for a long, long time,
There's a valley behind ev'ry mountain you climb.
So turn up the music and open the door
Nothing left to wait for.

Shine, shine your sweet light on me,
You said you were a rider but you feel like a woman to me.

Open the windows and unlock the locks
Ride all you can 'cause they may stop all your clocks.
Let all your hair down and open the wine
Things will be really fine.

Shine, shine your sweet light on me,
You said you were a woman but you feel like a rider to me.

Open the windows and unlock the locks
Ride all you can 'cause they may stop all your clocks.
Let all your hair down and open the wine
Things will be really fine.

Wrack My Brain

Wrack my brain, wrack my brain,
Till my head's filled with pain,
Wrack my brain.

All dried up, i'm all dried up,
All i have's this empty cup,
All dried up.

What i have, you don't want,
What you want, i can't give.
I got out of touch with you and yours,
The way that you live.

I try to do my best for you,
While the sky pours down the rain,
Wrack my brain.

With a will there's a way,
But there's no way i can see,
Coming up with something you'd enjoy
As much as tv

All the same, i play the game,
Up and down old memory lane,
Wrack my brain, (wrack my brain)
Till my head is filled with pain,
Wrack my brain, (wrack my brain)
While i slowly go insane,
Wrack my brain. (wrack my brain)

Dead Giveaway

People like you see it comin' a mile off,
Find it hard stayin' in line.
It's not that no one really hears you,
Just that nobody really cares.
Like someone who's just seen the light,
Like someone looking for a fight.
Same thing ev'ry day, being foolish,
Being asked to lose your seat.
Don't look to me askin'
To be helped up to your feet.

Don't you know you're a dead giveaway?
You're a dead giveaway,
You're a dead giveaway,
You're a dead giveaway,
You're a dead giveaway,
Dead giveaway.

Don't look to me 'cause i know your game,
Nonsense merchant, hall of fame.
Take it or leave it, you're a blind drunk,
And if you ain't that, you're far too stoned.

'Cause you're a dead giveaway,
Smell a rat in ev'rything you do.
Well, you're a dead giveaway,
Asked to leave ev'rywhere you go.
People say you're a dead giveaway,
Dead giveaway,
Dead giveaway,
Dead giveaway.

Somebody knockin' at the door!

You're a dead giveaway,
I've seen you happy all the time.
Don't live lonely life,
Dead giveaway.

Well, it's a dead giveaway,
You're a dead giveaway,
Dead giveaway,
Nobody really cares,
Dead giveaway.

Dead giveaway,
Dead giveaway,
Dead giveaway,
Dead giveaway.

In a Heartbeat

If you're ever feelin' down,
If your world ain't turnin' 'round,
I'll make it turn around for you,
I'll do whatever i can do.

If you ever need someone, (if you need someone)
I would love to be the one.
Call when you're feeling all alone, (when you're all alone)
If you just need a hand to hold. (when you need a hand to hold)

In a heartbeat,
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me,
Any time you want me.
In a heartbeat,
You can have my love
Any time you want me,
Baby, in a heartbeat i'll be there.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh -)

If your sky is full of rain,
I'll help you find the sun again.
I'll chase the clouds away for you,
I'll find a brighter day for you.

Any hour of the night, (you know i'll be there)
I'll be there as fast as lightning strikes.
And when you're feeling all alone, (when you're all alone)
I'll be the hand that you can hold. (when you need a hand to hold)

In a heartbeat,
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me,
Any time you want me.
In a heartbeat,
You can have my love
Any time you want me,
Baby, in a heartbeat i'll be there.

(baby, in a heartbeat i'll be there)

In a heartbeat,
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me,
Any time you want me.
In a heartbeat,
You can have my love
Any time you want me,
Baby, in a heartbeat i'll be there.

In a heartbeat,
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me,
Any time you want me.
In a heartbeat,
You can have my love.

Don't Go Where the Road Don't Go

I woke up from a bad dream
To the howling of a lonely night.
But the walls come closing in
Like the victim of a one-way fight.
I don't remember many yesterdays,
I left a lot of things undone,
Now i'm back and i'm here to say
I'm looking after number one.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.

Seeing people on the freeway,
Takes me back to where i started from.
I was riding on the big wheel,
I was walking in a midnight sun.
Well, i did a lot of favours then,
I asked for nothing in return.
Now those friends have all disappeared,
I guess there's still so much to learn.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go.
'Cause you'll never run, you'll never outrun the gun.

Well, i said it don't come easy.
Well, i sure know how it feels.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go.
'Cause you'll never run, you'll never outrun the gun.

Don't go, don't go where the road don't go,
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go.
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go.

Vertical Man

When the world is coming down on you
And your back's against the wall,
Change the glass that you've been looking through,
It's really half full after all.

If you feel like giving up, (giving up)
If you feel you've had enough,
Let it go,
Don't you know
You can come and kick the bottom out, (bottom out)
Stomp your feet, scream and shout, let it go, let it go.

It's bever quite as bad as you think it is,
'Cause ev'ry bad day turns around. (round, round, round)
Forgive yourself for all the things you did,
The vertical man don't lay down. (down, down, down, down, down)

If you feel like giving up, (giving up)
If you feel like you've had enough,
Let it go,
Don't you know
Come on - kick the bottom out, (bottom out)
Stomp your feet, scream and shout, let it go, let it go.

And when the sun comes shining through for you,
You'll discover even rainbows have the blues.
Yes, i know, it's not news to you,
Am i getting through to you?

If you feel like giving up,
Don't you know, life is tough
Let it go, don't you know?
Come on, kick the bottom out,
Scream and shout, let it go, let it go.

When you feel like giving up, (giving up)
When you feel like you've had enough,
Let it go, let it go.

Oo-oo, let it go,
Oo-oo, let it go,
Kick the bottom out, scream and shout.
Oo-oo, let it go,
Kick the bottom out, stomp your feet, scream and shout. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kick the bottom out, stomp your feet, scream and shout. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kick the bottom out, stomp your feet, scream and shout. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kick the bottom out, stomp your feet, scream and shout. (it's up to you)
Kick the bottom out,
Kick the bottom out,
Kick the bottom out.

Ah -

Scream and shout! Oh!
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man)

King of Broken Hearts

Can you guess what i'm thinking of
Where's someone that i can love?
I just don't know where to start,
I'm the king of broken hearts.

I was waiting for the bells to ring,
My love for her keeps lingering.
Praying that she'd wear my ring,
Waiting for the crowd to sing.

I'm the king of broken hearts,
I've lost before i ever start to love again.
I'm the king of broken hearts,
I'd give it all away to find a friend again,
Again.

Where's the dream i had before?
She just walked right out the door.
I want her back and nothing more,
Her note fell on the bedroom floor.

I'm the king of broken hearts,
I've lost before i ever start to love again.
I'm the king of broken hearts,
I'd give it all away to find a friend again.

A heart's no good when it's been broken,
Words of love are often spoken,
My tears fall like jewels from a crown.

Look how fast the tide can turn,
Some people live but never learn.
I can make a brand new start
Living in a land of broken hearts. (broken hearts)

Yeah, i'm the king of broken hearts,
I've lost before i ever start to love again.
I'm the king of broken hearts,
I'd give it all away to find a friend again.
I'm the king of broken hearts,
I've lost before i ever start to love again,
Again.

Octopus's Garden

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.
