Living Next Door To Alice

  Living Next Door To Alice

        N.Chinn, M.Chapman 
              Smokie

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 could hardly 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 I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...

We grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
We carved our initials,
Deep in the bark,
Me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of 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 I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
And she said: "I know how to help -
Get over Alice".
She said: "Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting
For twenty-four years..."
And a big limousine dissapeared...
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 I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

Youre wasting my time, youre drinking my wine.
So Little Lucy say goodbye,
Ive stood quite enough, Im calling your bluff
The cost of lovings much too high.

So Little Lucy, Little Lucy dont you cry,

Weve had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye.

Im playing it cool, I aint such a fool,
You know our loves just one big lie,
We put on a show, but now you must go,
And we cant say we didnt try.

So Little Lucy, Little Lucy dont you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy dont you cry,
Weve had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye.

Weve had some trouble,
Aint gonna see your face no more,
Now at the double,
Im gonna see ya just go right through that door.

Youre wasting my time, youre drinking my wine.
So Little Lucy say goodbye,
Ive stood quite enough, Im calling your bluff
The cost of lovings much too high.

So Little Lucy, Little Lucy dont you cry,

Weve had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye.

So Little Lucy, Little Lucy dont you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy dont you cry,
Weve had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye.

Lay Back in the Arms of Someone

Lay Back in the Arms of Someone

      N.Chinn, M.Chapman
            Smokie

If you want my sympathy
Just open your heart to me
And you'll get whatever you'll ever need

You think that's too high for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
When there's nothin' left, you know where I'll be

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

So baby, just call on me
When you want all of me
And I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend

And there's nothin' I won't do
'Cause baby, I just live for you
With nothin' to hide, no need to pretend, oh oh

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Oh, I know you think that's too high for you
Well baby, I would die for you
When there's nothin' left, I'll be with you, oh oh

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love, oh yeah

Lord, I know

Остров Детства

          Остров Детства

Музыка - О.Фельцман, слова - М.Рябинин 
           Михаил Боярский

 Dm              Am
Можно об этом сказать очень просто,
 E7            Am
Не добавляя почти ничего,
 Dm              Am
Снится мне часто маленький остров,
Dm              E7
Вы не ищите на карте его.

Припев:
        Am                          Dm
  И никуда, никуда мне не деться от этого,
  E7                          Am  H7 E7
  Ночь за окном, на дворе никого,
  Am                               Dm
  Только к утру станет зорькой рассветною
  E7                          Am
  Остров Детства, детства моего.

Вот я купаюсь в извилистой речке,
Чувствую сильные руки отца,
И потому мне легко и беспечно,
И потому плыть могу без конца.

И никуда, никуда мне не деться от этого,
Ночь за окном, на дворе никого,
Только к утру станет зорькой рассветною

Mexican Girl

                      Mexican Girl

               C.Norman, P.Spencer 
                      Smokie

Juanita came to me last night and she cried over and over
Ooh, Daddy I love you you know and I think it's the moonlight
She looked so fine, well she looked alright and she moaned
Ooh, Daddy move over

Oh, baby you know what I like and I think it's the moonlight
Made in Mexico, schooled in France ooh la lovin'
She needed no teachin'
Oh man, I can say international ways, I believe in

Mexican girl, don't leave me alone
I gotta heart as big as a stone and I need you, believe me
To be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, I want you to stay, you know my heart is
Longing to say that as long as I live I will always
Remember the one that I called my Mexican girl

Her skin was soft as the velvet sky
And her hair it shone in the moonlight
And as the music did play well the night turned to day
And I held her tight

Then she looked at me with her dark brown eyes and she
Whispered, "Hasta La Vista!"
Well I don't know what it means but it sounded so good so
I kissed her

Mexican girl, don't leave me alone
I gotta heart as big as a stone and I need you, believe me
To be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl I want you to stay, you know my heart is
Longing to say that as long as I live I will always
Remember the one that I called my Mexican girl

It Makes Me Money

  It Makes Me Money

     C.Norman, P.Spencer 
           Smokie

I hear you didn't like my show
Well that's alright
A critic's views are not all you know
Well that's alright

It makes me money
It makes me money
It makes me money
And that's alright

Your paper and your pen's so lethal
But that's alright
You really can influence people
Well that's alright

It makes me money
It makes me money
It makes me money
And that's alright
I said that's alright

You think you're big time Mr. Man
Well tell me something if you can

Why don't you make me a star
Then I'll remember jsut who you are, say
Wish I could hear you say
Well he's alright
He's a star and he's here to stay
Well that's alright

It makes me money
It makes me money
It makes me money
And that's alright
I said that's alright

It makes me money,
(So you don't like my show)
It makes me money
(Well that's too bad you know)
It makes me money
(It makes me money)
And that's alright

It makes me money,
(So you don't like my show)
It makes me money
(Well that's too bad you know)
It makes me money
(It makes me money)
And that's alright

It’s Your Life

                      It's Your Life

               N.Chinn, M.Chapman 
                     Smokie

Who said the web of life is woven in a dream
'Cause your life is filled with dreams you can't believe
So the only way you live with it is acting every scene
And you play the part so well, that you deceive
Now and again I find you ain't got a friend
Who knows, I come and I go, but it's your life

Though the world is overcrowded you still found an empty place
And I know he leaves you helpless and confused
And your search for love has often left you staring into space
Just another broken heart, so what's the use?
How many times have I been so hard to find?
You know I come and I go, but it's your life

How does it feel when he's not around?
Can he be real when he can be found nowhere?

Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight?
And who let herself be lit so easily?
And who let it burn until the early morning light
And in the early morning gave herself to me?
And so, my love, you know that it's your life

I’ll Meet You At Midnight

     I'll Meet You At Midnight

         N.Chinn, M.Chapman 
               Smokie

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
A sea of faces in a crowded cafe
A sound of laughter as the music plays

Jean-Claude was a student at the University
Louise-Marie is just a world away
He recall the night they met was warm with laughter
The words were music as she turned away

I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
But Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be

Each cigarette would light a thousand faces
Each hour that pass seem like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared

I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be

A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses
The empty table in the street cafe
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jean-Claude has left to face another day

I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight

I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be

If You Think You Know How to Love Me

If You Think You Know How to Love Me

          N.Chinn, M.Chapman 
                Smokie

A breathless drive on a downtown street
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat
The dust that hung from the desert skies
Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes

Oh yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side of life
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side
And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand
And show me a way to understand

So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

Yes, if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

A reckless night in a nameless town
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound
A beach that wept with deserted waves
That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe

Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me
But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see
You know you've got my life lying in your hands
It's up to you to make me understand

So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

Yes if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

I Can’t Stay Here Tonight

I Can't Stay Here Tonight

   C.Norman, P.Spencer
         Smokie

Open up your tired eyes
And force yourself to smile
Yesterday was yesterday
It's gone, it's tomorrow now
It's here, it's tomorrow now
Now I must go
But I'll see you again

When? 
Oh, please don't ask me when.
I'll call, I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No, I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight

Light me up a cigarette
And check that my bags are packed
Something I was gonna say
It's gone - till another time
But how long till that other time
I hate to go
But I'll be back again

When? 
Oh, please don't ask me when.
I'll call, I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No, I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight

Open up your tired eyes
And force yourself to smile
Yesterday was yesterday
It's gone, it's tomorrow now
It's here, it's tomorrow now
Now I must go
But I'll be back again

When? 
Oh, please don't ask me when.
I'll call, I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No, I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight
