I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality

There's a ghost in my house
The ghost of your memories
The ghost of the love you took from me
Where our love used to be
Only shadows from the past I see
Time can't seem to erase
The vision of your smiling face
Though you found someone new
I can't get over you
There's a ghost in my house
I can't hide
(Ghost in my house)
From the ghost of your love that's inside
(Ghost in my house)

If you could read my mind love,
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

Robert De Niro's waiting
Talking Italian
Robert De Niro's waiting
Talking Italian
Robert De Niro's waiting
Talking Italian (Talking Italian)
Robert De Niro's waiting
I don't need a boy
I've got a man of steel
Don't come any closer
I don't wanna feel (Ooh)
You're breathing, you're touching
But nothing's for free
I never want this to happen to me
Don't try to change me, you're wasting your time
Now I've got something much better in mind

A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I, face to face
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
He called Alice
When she was just small

Sally called when she got the word
And she said 'I suppose you've heard about Alice
When I rushed to the window
And I looked outside
And I hardly could believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive

Oh I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
Cos for twenty four years
I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how ifeel and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice

Listen
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride. Huh
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride

One of these early mornings, baby, you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes
Huh, what I said now?

Look it here.
I bought you a brand new mustang nineteen sixty five. Huh
Now you come around signifying a woman, you don't wanna let me ride
Mustang Sally, now baby, oh Lord, guess you better slow that mustang down
Huh, oh Lord. Look here
You been running all over the town
Oh! I got to put your flat feet on the ground. Huh, What I said now?

Gonna tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John
He claimed he has the misery but he's had a lot of fun
Oh baby, yeah, baby, whoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah
Well long, tall Sally, she's built for speed, she got
Everything that Uncle John need
Oh baby, yeah, baby, whoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah

Sally, Sally, pride of our alley
Sally, Sally...
Don't ever wander
Away from the alley and me
Sally, Sally...
Marry me Sally
And happy forever I'll be
When skies are blue
You're beguiling
And when they're grey
You're still smiling, smi-i-iling
Sally, Sally...
Pride of our alley
You're more than
The whole world too-oo me...

But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong
Should I stray to the house on the hill
Let it be known that my intentions were good
I'd be singing in my alley if I could

And if I'm goin' away and it's my turn to go
Should the blood run cold in my veins
Just one favor I'd be askin' of you
Don't bury me here it's too cold

Take me back, carry me back down to Gasoline Alley where I started from
Take me back, won't cha carry me home down to
Gasoline Alley where I started from

Mull of Kintyre
Oh, mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh , Mull of Kintyre

Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts the sunsets on fire
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre

Through the windswept coastal trees
Where the dead come rising from the sea
With a teddy-bear clamped between her knees
She says, where can my loverman be?
Well, I'm down here, babe, with the Eskimos
With the polar bears and the Arctic snow
With a party of penguins who do not know
How I can get back to thee
Well I'm gonna ask you, babe

Little ditty about Jack and Dianne
Two American kids growing up in the heartland
Jackie going be a football star
Diannes debutante backseat of Jackie's car

Tucking on a chilli dog
Outside the Tasty Freez
Diannes sitting on Jackie's lap
He's got his hands between her knees
Jackie says , hey Dianne
Let's run off behind a shady tree
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please
Say a

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of living has gone
Say a
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of living has gone
They walk on

Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
With his long tail hanging down.
He quietly sits under every tree
In the folds of his velvet gown.
He drinks from the empty acorn cup.
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
And taps his cane upon the ground -
Signals the snow drops, it's time to grow
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
No place to dance, no time for song.
He wears the colours of the summer soldier;
And carries the green flag all the winter long.
Jack do you never sleep - does the green still run deep in your heart?
Or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart?
Well, I don't think so.
I saw some grass growing through the pavements today.

… You hear me so clearly
And see how I try
You feel me, so heal me
And tear me apart
… And I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
And do they have to know (do they have to know)
About my goodnight girl
… Caught up in your wishing well
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You make them last (make them last, make them last)
… You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart

There is a well
Down by the hollow
Its waters deep
As they can be
Thousands come
And millions follow
All to see
What they could see
Now some see light
And some see violence
Some see might
And some see flow
But all see truth
Deep down in silence
As they pass the booth
Where the tickets go
I am the well
I am the well

… You saw me standing by the wall,
Corner of a main street,
And the lights are flashing on your window sill.
All alone ain't much fun,
So you're looking for the thrill,
And you know just what it takes and where to go.
… Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
… Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into your well,
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire,
Take a chance,
Like all dreamers can't find another way,
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Oh mother say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town it won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me
Don't let him please me

Jesse I won't cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse I won't make the wine for you
Jesse I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you

Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How much do I love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?
And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
