I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
How I wish this road would take me home where I belong
‘Cause I have found no other place where I will stay
I’m tired and all my dreams have failed along the way

I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
Though I wonder what my folks would think about me now
I guess I’ve changed, like people do, when things go wrong
But in the end, somehow I know, we’ll get along

Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
I’m on my way
Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay

I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
How I wish to see the old house where I used to live
And all my friends, will they be there, when I come home
How I regret the day when I set out to roam

Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
I’m on my way
Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa

He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me I must take him seriously
Droning on the usual way
He’s such a clever guy
And I wonder should I laugh or cry

He’s (he’s) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (me) of his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does
And me I get so tired
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool’s pride in his eyes
Standin’ there on his toes to grow in size
(All I see is)
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He’s wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry

Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No (no) more (more) pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder should I laugh or cry

High and mighty his banner flies
A fool’s pride in his eyes
Standin’ there on his toes to grow in size
(All I see is)
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He’s wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry
So should I laugh or cry

Now there’s a shadow passing over our faces
Doubt forever in our hearts
And in a while we’ll have to pick up the traces
We won’t find the missing parts.
Buy me a ticket I’ll go to the Bahamas
I need a rest from our petty little dramas
Yes I really do<a href=”http://www.testimania.com/”>Testi Canzoni</a>

Aha um hum
Look what you’ve done
I’m missing all the fun,
Baby you owe me one.
Aha un hum
It’s my turn to run
A chance to see the sun,
Baby you owe me one.

I wasn’t ready for this kind of intrusion
I was taken by surprise
Now both of us are in a state of confusion
Hesitation on our hearts.
Something unwanted has entered our existence
I think it’s better to view it from a distance
Yes I really do

Aha um hum
Look what you’ve done
I’m missing all the fun,
Baby you owe me one.
Aha un hum
It’s my turn to run
A chance to see the sun,
Baby you owe me one.
Baby you owe me one.

We’re not the stars of a Hollywood movie
So what’s the use to pretend
I’m not so charming and you’re not so groovy
You’ve got to face it my friend
Dreamworld, you’ve been living in a dreamworld
Trust me, you just can’t escape from reality
Boy meets girl, doesn’t mean they’re in a dreamworld
Here I am, here you are,
We’re gonna make it together
And within, it’s a fuss
So we can only get better

When you reach up and you say to me
How I love you, girl
When I hold you, baby, can’t you see
That’s the way we whirl

You had your hopes and your high expectations
Somehow it doesn’t seem right
I’m getting fed-up with your acquisitions
I’m not your angel in white

Dreamworld, you’ve been living in a dreamworld
Trust me, you just can’t escape from reality
Boy meets girl, doesn’t mean they’re in a dreamworld
Here I am, here you are,
We’re gonna make it together
And within, it’s a fuss
So we can only get better

When you reach up and you say to me
How I love you, girl
When I hold you, baby, can’t you see
That’s the way we whirl

Dreamworld, you’ve been living in a dreamworld
Trust me, you just can’t escape from reality
Boy meets girl, doesn’t mean they’re in a dreamworld
Here I am, here you are,
We’re gonna make it together
And within, it’s a fuss
So we can only get better
So we can only get better

Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of cotton
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of day
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of cotton
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale a day
Oh Lawdy, pick a bale of cotton
Oh Lawdy, pick a bale of day
Oh Lawdy, pick a bale of cotton
Oh Lawdy, pick a bale of day

I say me and my buddy gonna pick a bale of cotton
Now me and my buddy gonna pick a bale of day
I say me and my buddy gonna pick a bale of cotton
Now me and my buddy gonna pick a bale of day

Oh Lawdy, pick a bale of cotton
Oh Lawdy, pick a bale a day
Oh Lawdy, pick a bale of cotton

On top of old Smokey, all covered with snow
I lost my true lover by courting so slow
For courting’s a pleasure and parting is grief
And a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
On top of old Smokey, all covered with snow
I lost my true lover by courting to slow

When you wake up in the morning, you hear the ding dong ring
And you go marching to the table, see the same old thing
See the fork on the table, nothing in your pan
If you say a thing about it, you’re in trouble with a man

Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it’s everloving light on me

If you ever go to Houston, well you’d better act right
And you’d better not gamble and you’d better not fight
For the sherrif will arrest you and he’ll take you down
And before you understand it, you are prison bound

Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it’s everloving light on me
On me, on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it’s everloving light on me
On me, on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it’s everloving light on me
On me, on me
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
Let the midnight special shine it’s everloving light on me
On me, on me
On me, on me

I’ve seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I’m getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There’s a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know..

What’s the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What’s the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, ’cause I have to know
I’m a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I’m trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know..

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know..

What’s the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what’s the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, ’cause I have to know
I’m a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I’m trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know..
Oh yes I wanna know..

The name of the game
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot
What’s the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what’s the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot

“They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul.
A voyager, ad a settler, they both have a distant goal.<a href=”http://www.testimania.com/”>Testi Canzoni</a>
If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside.
Well, it really doesn’t matter as long as I can tell myself
I’ve always tried.”

Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that’s always blowing, life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it, being in it
With the urge to move on

I’ve travelled every country, I’ve travelled in my mind
It seems we’re on a journey, a trip through space and time
And somewhere lies the answer
To all the questions why
What really makes the difference
Between all dead and living things, the will to stay alive

Like a roller in the ocean (la la la la la la-la)
Life is motion (la la la la la la-la)
Move on (la la la la-la)
Like a wind that’s always blowing (la la la la la la-la)
Life is flowing (la la la la la la-la)
Move on (la la la la-la)
Like the sunrise in the morning (la la la la la la-la)
Life is dawning (la la la la la la-la)
Move on (la la la la-la)
How I treasure every minute (la la la la)
Being part of it (la la la la)
Being in it (la la la la)
With the urge to move on

The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea
The crying of the seagulls that hover over me
I see it and I hear it
But how can I explain
The wonder of the moment
To be alive, to feel the sun that follows every rain

Like a roller in the ocean (la la la la la la-la)
Life is motion (la la la la la la-la)
Move on (la la la la-la)
Like a wind that’s always blowing (la la la la la la-la)
Life is flowing (la la la la la la-la)
Move on (la la la la-la)
Like the sunrise in the morning (la la la la la la-la)
Life is dawning (la la la la la la-la)
Move on (la la la la-la)
How I treasure every minute (la la la la)
Being part of it (la la la la-ah)
Being in it
With the urge to move on

La la la la la la-la, la la la la la la-la, la la la la-la
Like a wind that’s always blowing
La la la la la la-la
La la la la la la-la (life is flowing)
La la la la-la (move on)
Like the sunrise in the morning
La la la la la la-la
La la la la la la-la (life is dawning)
La la la la-la (move on)
How I treasure every minute (la la la la)
Being part of it (la la la la-ah)
Being in it
With the urge to move on
La la la la la la-la, la la la la la la-la, la la la la-la
Like a wind that’s always blowing…

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it’s bad, worse, worst
(And when you’re feeling so bad)
And you think you’re cursed
(And you’ve got it sad)
Well, if there’s one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool
But on all weekends
(Together again)
When I meet my friends
(I’m gonna see them now)
And we’re lookin’ round for the action we sure play it cool

It’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
You paint your world and use all colours
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And then you find it all comes out too bright
You know it’s only a lie
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
The songs you sing are too romantic
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And when you want the truth
They only spit in your eye
Oh yeah, they’re only telling you lies
Oh yeah, there’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it’s bad, worse, worst
(You know you’re feeling so bad)
And you think you’re cursed
(And you’ve got it sad)
Well, if there’s one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

There’s gotta be rock’n roll…
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll…
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll…
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll…
To fill the hole in your soul
There’s gotta be rock’n roll…
To fill the hole in your soul

I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
For giving it to me

This park and these houses, old streets I have walked
Everything dear, will it be here
One day when I am returning?
My friends will get married, have children and homes
It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises

I wonder, it’s frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don’t leave it
I’m not a coward
Oh no, I’ll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it, it can’t go wrong

My friends and my family, this dull little town
Buses I’ve missed, boys that I’ve kissed
Everything old and familiar

I wonder, it’s frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don’t leave it
I’m not a coward
Oh no, I’ll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it…
Yes I will take it, it can’t go wrong
Yes I will take it, it can’t go wrong
