LIVING IN A FANTASY (1980)

TIME RAN OUT ON YOU
(Alan Tarney)

You feel there’s enough
You try because you do get lonely
And hearts feel too much
And right now you know you’re only blue
‘Cos time ran out on you
Well that’s tough
And so you try to steal the feeling
Back when you touch
A touch too much just starts you reeling now
You start to reason how
You know you do
‘Cos time ran out on you
Ran out on you
Oh, oh, oh, time
Ran out on you
You keep holding on
You know it’s wrong but you can’t let go
And here comes tonight
You say the situation’s not your style
You linger for a while
That’s what you do
‘Cos time ran out on you
Ran out on you
Oh, oh, oh, time
Ran out on you
Oh, oh, time
You just don’t feel right
And you pretend to be sincere
But nothing is clear
You’re not sincere
You’re not sincere
(Solo)
You still don’t feel right
And you have no intention to be left standing by
You say the situation’s not your style
So you linger for a while
That’s what you do
‘Cos time ran out on you
Ran out on you
Oh, oh, oh, time
Ran out on you
Hey, time
Ran out on you

WHERE DID WE GO WRONG
(Leo Sayer / Alan Tarney)

Oh baby
You’ve stopped crying
Oh baby
Please, tell me what’s on your mind
I can see the tears but I don’t know why you’re crying
Is it me or is it you
Is it real or just a mood
Well I know you’re sad but what ya tryin’ to prove
When you say that you can’t go on
And you feel like you don’t belong
You’ve to nobody to lean upon
It seems we’ve come to so far but we just can’t get along
Darling, where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong baby
Darling, where did we go wrong
I wanna know, I wanna know
Darling, where did we go wrong
I’m gonna try and try and change
Where did we go wrong
I’ve been workin’, never coming home at all
I left you chained to the kitchen busy walkin’ up the wall
Now I don’t want nobody else
And I’m not thinking about myself
When I say that I’ll do anything to stop you
Saying that you don’t belong
And what we had has just upped and gone
Please please try, try to be strong
Oh I apologise, I didn’t mean to lead you on
Darling, where did we go wrong
I know where we went wrong
Where did we go wrong
Ooh
Darling, where did we go wrong
Somewhere along the line
Where did we go wrong
(Solo)
Well you know there ain’t nobody else
I’d be a fool trying to please myself
If I thought that there could be anybody else
Well you’ll see now at time goes on
I’ll be the one that you can lean upon
We’ll dry out the tears and never have to say that we were wrong
Ooh babe we’ll get it on
Darling, where did we go wrong
We’ll start again baby
Where did we go wrong
Change, let’s change, let’s change
Darling, where did we go wrong
Baby we went wrong somewhere
Where did we go wrong
But we can try again
We can try again

YOU WIN – I LOSE
(Leo Sayer / Alan Tarney)

You win – I lose
That’s how it all begins
Well I try so hard in these affairs of the heart
But I know that I’ll never win
Well I talk to you sweet like honey
And don’t I treat you as nice as pie
But I can’t figure out when you scream and you shout
Why I have to apologise
You win - I lose
That’s how it always goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a spin
I went out with a broken nose
You win – I lose
That’s how it’s meant to be
Well I tried all I can just figure it out
But love’s just a mystery
Guess all you ladies would call me easy
But I’m a fool for the femme fatale
When she flashes those eyes, I’m not a man, I’m a mouse
Tryin’ to patch up a broken heart
You win – I lose
That’s OK, that’s the way it goes
Well I tried all I could but it did me no good
‘Cos all I’ve got is nothin’ to show
They say that men are always supposed to act
Like they’re not really tryin’
But when I come on cool nobody seems to notice
It’s a mystery
Yes it’s a mystery to me
Yes it’s a mystery, yes it’s a mystery
Yes it’s a mystery to me
You see you win – I lose
That’s just the way it goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a sling
I went out with a broken nose
(Solo)
You win – I lose
I guess that’s how we’re meant to be
I tried as hard as I could but it did me no good
You’re more than a match for me
And it don’t make no sense to me, no
Love is still a mystery
It’s just a mystery
Love is a mystery

MORE THAN I CAN SAY
(Sonny Curtis/Jerry Allison)

Woh, woh, yeah, yeah
I love you more than I can say
I love you twice as much tomorrow, woh
Love you more than I can say
Woh, woh, yeah, yeah
I miss you every single day
Why must my heart be full of sorrow, oh
I love you more than I can say
Ah don’t you know I need you so
So tell me please I gotta know
Do you mean to make me cry
Am I just another guy
Oh woh, yeah, yeah
I miss you more than I can say
Why must my life be filled with sorrow, woh, woh
Love you more than I can say
(Solo)
Oh don’t you know I need you so
So tell me please I gotta know
Do you mean to make me cry
Am I just another guy
Woh, woh, yeah, yeah
I love you more than I can say
I’ll love you twice as much tomorrow
Love you more than I can say
I love you more than I can say
I love you more than I can say, oh
More than I can say – ooh
More than I can say
I love you twice as much tomorrow
Ooh - more than I can say
I love you more than I can say
More than I can say
I love you more than words can say

MILLIONAIRE
(Leo Sayer / Alan Tarney)

I got your postcard it made me lonely
I’m out of money and no-one really cares
The South of France has sunny weather
Pretty boats and lots of millionaires
Now you’re not coming home
You like the style and you’re staying here
Pretty boys everywhere you go
You lead ‘em on and then you disappear
You say you’re gonna find a millionaire
- Oh well I wish you luck
And we were never going anywhere
- And now you’ve had enough
You didn’t wanna be
Going broke with a loser like me
And you’re a girl who’s just gotta be free
And I don’t think you’ll ever be happy
Chasing a millionaire
Chasing a millionaire
All the streets are dead without you
Empty shops and old abandoned cars
In Saint Tropez your man is waiting
He comes with diamonds to the hotel bar
You say you’re not going home
You like the sun and you’re staying here
He’ll ask if you’re on you own
You say “why not” then you both disappear
Now you say you’ve found your millionaire
- Oh well I don’t care
Says he’s gonna take you everywhere
- I just don’t care
I bet he’ll let you down
That kinda guy never hangs around
He’s got a girl in every town
And I don’t think you’ll ever be happy
Living
Living with a millionaire
(Solo)
Now you say you’ve found your millionaire
- Well I don’t care
Says he gonna take you everywhere
- I just don’t care
Then one day he’s gonna let you down
He’ll have you searching every club in town
That kind of guy will only drag you down
You can go and take your millionaire
- Oh I don’t wanna know
Tell you that I really do not care
- Ah your life’s your own
You see them everywhere you go
Chasing the sun in Alfa Romeos
You gotta catch ‘em before they get too old
And I don’t think you’ll ever be happy
Chasing
Chasing a millionaire
Chasing a millionaire

ONCE IN A WHILE
(Alan Tarney)

I think of this most every night
How hard it is just to get it all right
I’m looking here and I’m lookin’ there
I see a heart broken
Pieces everywhere
Wouldn’t you try and wouldn’t you know
You try so hard still to let it all go
Too much trouble and too much pain
I think I’m gonna have that luck again
What’ll I do if you walk away
What’ll I do if you walk away
Well I haven’t a chance
No I haven’t a chance
Once in a while I get this feeling
Now and again I’m all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away
Once in a while I get this feeling
A crazy notion – A careless thought
I start to worry and time gets short
We’ll think if this my dear young one
The time to act has just begun
What’ll I do if you walk away
What’ll I do if you walk away
Well I haven’t a chance
No I haven’t a chance
Once in a while I get this feeling
Now and again I’m all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away
Once in a while I get this feeling
Once in a while I get this feeling
Now and again I’m all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away

LIVING IN A FANTASY
(Leo Sayer / Alan Tarney)

You, you are my reason to live
You make me shine, with all the love that you give
And when I think of you, I keep driftin’ away, yeah
Little by little, I love you more every day
I lay in bed but I just can’t sleep
I close my eyes and you’re all that I see
I can’t believe that it’s happening to me
Living in a fantasy
Ever since you came to me
Yes I’m living in a fantasy
Drowning, drowning in this luxury
Ever since, Ever since you came to me
Oh I’m living in a dream
Oh, I know, there’ll be storms up ahead
We’ll blow them away, bring back the sun again
For love conquers all, the gloom and despair
Nothin’ can go wrong, just as long as you’re there
Yeah, I see a light on the path up ahead
I know you’ll wait on the cliff where you said
I’ll hold you close ‘til we’re right on the edge
Living in a fantasy
Ever since, ever since you came, you came to me
I’m just living in a fantasy
Drowning, drowning in this luxury
Ever since, ever since you came to me
Find me living in a dream
Oh you’re too much, too soon, you’re too strong
And I wanna drown in your touch
Don’t keep me floating too long
Living in a fantasy, living in a fantasy
Ever since you came to me, ever since you came along
Living in a fantasy
Drowning in this luxury
Ever since you came to me, ever since you came to me
I’m just living in a dream
Living in a fantasy
Ever since you came to me
Living in a fantasy
Drowning in this luxury, drowning in this luxury
Ever since, ever since you came to me
Living in a dream
Well it happens every day
Love has got a hold on me
I’m drowning
Ever since you came to me
Living in a dream

SHE’S NOT COMING BACK
(Leo Sayer / Alan Tarney)

Monday morning nine A.M.
I missed my bus I must’ve overslept again
Phoned up work told ‘em I can’t go on
Since she left, this house is not a home I know
She’s not coming back
She’s not coming back
She’s not coming back
She’s not coming back
All my friends they keep coming around
Well they can dress me up but I won’t paint the town
No-one else’ll do the things she’d do
All my fun is up because I know this time for sure
She’s not coming back
- Didn’t have a reason
- Had to be free
- Told me she was leaving
She’s not coming back to me
Monday evenings used to be so easy rolling
Staying home with her
Now this room is like a prison
Can’t go nowhere, I’m nothing without her
She’s not coming back
No she’s not coming back
Oh she’s not coming back – no more
No more, no more
(Solo)
Tuesday morning and it’s not that bad
Well I’m smiling now, thinking of all the fun we had
And if I see her, this is what I will say
“Well thanks for asking but as you see, I’m OK”
She’s not coming back
- Didn’t have a reason
- Had to be free
- Told me she was leaving
She’s not coming back
Oh she’s not coming back
No she’s not coming back
No she’s not coming back
No she’s not coming back, to me
Didn’t have a reason
She wanted to be free
She told me she was leaving
She was leaving me

LET ME KNOW
(Alan Tarney)

Are you ever gonna change your mind
Will there ever be another time, woh, yeah
You gotta let me know
I was hoping you would understand
Love was never meant to be so blind, woh, woh
You gotta let me know
Well I never had to wonder why
I’ve felt this way now for such a long time
And it’s taken everything I have
Just to tell you how it is, that I feel
Won’t you let me know
Oh let me know
Ooh won’t you let me know
We’re no strangers to this world it’s true
Everytime you cry it makes me feel so blue
Oh, won’t you let me through
Take another time another place
Take this heart of mine and dry your face
Oh, won’t you let me know
(Solo)
Well I never had to wonder why
I’ve felt this way now for such a long time
And it’s taken everything I have
Just to tell you how it is, that I feel
Won’t you let me know
Won’t you let me know
Ooh won’t you let me know
Let me know, let me know, let me know
Take another time, another place
Take this heart of mine and dry your face, woh, woh, woh
Oh, won’t you let me know
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, won’t you let me know
Oh, let me know
Let me know, let me know, let me know

ONLY FOOLIN’
(Leo Sayer / Alan Tarney)

Yeah, when we’re round at a friend's house
You act so precious and cool
You tell her I’m nothin’ special at all
Just somebody who’s passing through
Just somebody who’s passing through
And here am I tryin’ to tell you again
But you just don’t understand
That we could be somethin’ special I know
If you’d only let go, take a chance
Try it just once, take a chance
But we’re only, we’re only, we’re only foolin’
You know that we are, we’re only foolin’
You know that we are
We’re only, we are, we’re only foolin’
Tell me what are you gonna do
About a fool who’s in love with you
What are you gonna do
When we go out on a Saturday night
Feel like I’m stringing along
I ask you where are we going from here
You know but you’re not letting on, babe
Well you know but you’re not letting on
So here we are at the crossroads
Between better or worse
You telling me I’m too serious babe
And one of us is gonna get hurt
Why do I always get hurt
We’re only, we’re only, we’re only foolin’
You know that we are, we’re only foolin’
You know that we are
We’re only, we only, we’re only foolin’
Tell me what are you gonna do
About a fool who’s in love with you
What are you gonna do
(Solo)
You know that we are
We’re only, we’re only, we’re only foolin’
You know that we are
We’re only, we are, we’re only foolin’
Tell me what are you gonna do
About a fool who’s in love with you
When you know it won’t do no good
To keep falling in love with you
I gotta know
I gotta know who’s foolin’ who
I wanna know who’s foolin’ who
We’re only
Foolin’
Foolin around
We’re only foolin’
