Come Sail Away


I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me

You're wondering who I am - secret
secret - I've got a secret

Machine or mannequin - secret
secret - I've got a secret

With parts made in Japan - secret
secret - I've got a secret

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 comewhere 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 - secret
secret - I've got a secret

Who hides behind a mask - secret
secret - I've got a secret

So no one else can see - secret
secret - I've got a secret

My true identity.

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

Machinesto save our lives
machines de-humanize.

The time has come at last - secret
secret - I've got a secret

To throw away this mask - secret
secret - I've got a secret

Now everyone can see - secret
secret - I've got a secret

My true identity - I'm Kilroy
Kilroy

Renegade


Oh mama I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home
Oh mama I can hear you a crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long

This jig is up the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today of the wanted man

Oh mama I've been years on the lamb
And had a high price on my head
Lawman said get him dead or alive
Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear mama I can hear you a crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long

This jig is up the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man

[Jason]

Pretty shitty quality but will get a good one as soon as possible.

Too Much Time on My Hands


Yeah, here I am sitting on this bar stool,
talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope for the
afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all

Well I'm so tired of losing
I've got nothing to do and all day
to do it
Well I'd go out cruising, but I've no place
to go and all night to get there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail

Is it any wonder I've got too much
time on my hands
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
and it's ticking away, ticking away
from me
(Too much time on my hands)
It's tick tick tick tick ticking away
(Too much time on my hands)
And I don't know what to do with myself
(Too much time on my hands)

(Too much time on my hands)
(Too much time on my hands)
(Too much time on my hands)

Now I'm a jet fuel genius
I can solve the world's problems
without even trying
I've got dozens of friends, and the fun
never ends
That is as long as I'm buying
Is it any wonder I'm not the President
Is it any wonder I'm null and void

Is it any wonder I've got too much
time on my hands
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
and it's ticking away, ticking away
from me
(Too much time on my hands)
Ticky tick tick tick tick ticking away
(Too much time on my hands)
And I don't know what to do with myself
(Too much time on my hands)
Umm mmm...
(Too much time on my hands)
Tick tick tick ticking away
(Too much time on my hands)
Umm mmm...
(Too much time on my hands)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my

The Best of times


Tonight's the night we'll make history. Honey you and I.
And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time,
And stay with you here toinght (with you tonight, with you tonight)

I know you feel these are the worst of times. I do believe it's true.
When people lock their doors, and hide inside.
Rumor has it it's the end of Paradise.

But I know, if the world just passed us by, baby I know
I wouldn't have to cry

Chorus:

The best of times, are when I'm alone with you.
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two.
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find

These are the best of times
These are the best of times

The headlines read "These Are The Worst Of Times", I do believe it's true.
I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide.
I wish the summer winds could bring back paradise.

But I know, if the world turned upside down, baby I know
You'd always be around

(Repeat Chorus)

(When I'm alone with you, you brighten up the night!)
(When I'm alone with you ...)

Babe


Babe I'm leavin'
I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going
I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
So please believe me
My heart is in your hands
And I'll be missing you

'Cause you know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary
And I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Givin' me the courage
And the strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you

You know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary
And I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Givin' me the courage
And the strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you

Babe, I'm leavin'
I'll say it once again
And somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're tryin' to forget
If only for a while
'Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me
My heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you
Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooo-oo-oo-oo, babe

Paradise


One touch was all I needed to know
You were the one for me
My fate and my destiny
You smiled and all at once I could see
I’d found a love so true
That I could give all to you

And suddenly I realized
That all the fortune and fame
Can’t compare to the sound of your voice
Whenever you speak my name

Paradise is anyplace where I can be with you
Leave behind the heartache and the pain that I’ve been through
Safe in your arms
Safe in the world tonight
For you are my paradise

My heart was broken so many times
I couldn’t imagine when
I’d ever love again
But every time I look at you
I know that I’ve been blessed
For I’m sure I’ve found heaven on earth
Each time I feel your caress

’cause paradise is anyplace where I can be with you
Leave behind the heartache and the pain that I’ve been through
Safe in your arms
Safe in the world tonight
For you are my paradise

And all at once I realized
That all the fortune and fame
Can’t compare to the sound of your voice
Whenever you call my name

’cause paradise is anyplace where I can be with you
And leave behind the heartache and the pain that I’ve been through
I’m safe in your arms
Safe in the world tonight
For you are my paradise
