WHOOPING AND CHEERING

# Crossing every ocean for the sake of locomotion

# I'm crossing every ocean for the sake of locomotion...

# Across every ocean

# For the sake of locomotion

# But I wouldn't have a notion

# How to save my soul

# I walk down the sidewalk

# Run down the boardwalk

# Stop and make small talk

# But I can't say no...

# To you

# I can't say no

# I can't say yes

# I can't even write down my own address

# I can't touch Heaven, it's a little too far

# It's the only way to travel got dreaming on a par

# I'm staring through the window wonder where you are

# Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour

# Across every nation

# From the harbour to the station

# It's a form of inspiration

# It's a power to the state

# They run down the railways

# Sail across the seaways

# Fly through the airways

# But they can't say no...

# To you

# I can't stand up

# I can't stand still

# I know you wouldn't like it if I told you how I feel

# I just want to say that it's only common sense

# But the words always fail me at my own expense

# I'm staring out the window wonder where you are

# Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour... #

Neil Arthur and Stephen Alfred Luscombe.

That's Blancmange and Don't Tell Me.

Thieves Like Us.

APPLAUSE

INSTRUMENTAL

# I've watched your face for a long time

# It's always the same

# I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles

# You were always so vain

# But now you live your life like a shadow

# In the pouring rain

# Oh, it's called love!

# Yes, it's called love

# Oh, it's called love

# And it belongs to us

# Oh, it dies so quickly

# It grows so slowly

# But when it dies

# It dies for good

# It's called love

# Yes, it's called love...

# Oh, love is found in the East and West

# But when love is at home It's the best

# Love is the cure for every evil

# Love is the air That supports the eagle

# It's called love

# And it's so uncool

# It's called love

# And somehow it's become unmentionable

# It's called love

# And it belongs...

# To every one of us

# It's called love

# And it cuts your life

# Like a broken knife

# Oh, love, love

# Love, love, love

# It's called love

# And it belongs to us

# It's called love

# Love, love, love, love

# It's called love

# And it belongs

# To everyone of us...

# I'm punching my card

# Eight hours, for what?

# Oh, tell me what I got

# I've got this feeling

# That time's just holding me down

# I'll hit the ceiling

# Or else I'll tear up this town

# Now I gotta cut loose

# Footloose

# Kick off the Sunday shoes

# Please, Louise

# Pull me off of my knees

# Jack, get back

# Come on before we crack

# Lose your blues

# Everybody cut footloose... #

GUITAR SOLO

# You're playing so cool

# Obeying every rule

# Deep way down in your heart

# You're burning, yearning

# For some, somebody to tell you

# That life ain't passing you by

# I'm trying to tell you

# It will if you don't even try...

# You'll get by

# If you'd only cut loose

# Footloose

# Kick off the Sunday shoes

# Ooh-ee, Marie

# Shake it, shake it for me

# Whoa, Milo

# Come on, come on, let's go

# Lose your blues

# Everybody cut footloose

# Oh...

# Cut footloose

# Oh...

# Cut footloose

# To beat the fear that she might die

# And who will have won

# When the soldiers have gone?

-# From the Lebanon

-# From the Lebanon

-# The Lebanon...

-# The Lebanon...

# Before he leaves the camp he stops

# He scans the world outside

# And where there used to be some shops

# Is where the snipers sometimes hide

# He left his home the week before

# He thought he'd be like the police

# But now he finds he is at war

# Weren't we supposed to keep the peace?

# And who will have won

# When the soldiers have gone?

-# From the Lebanon

-# From the Lebanon
