Mr. Lonely Heart's on stage calling out for volunteers And I raise my hand I feel a bit nervous cause it's all unplanned But I know it's start Hey Mr. Lonely Heart, who do you have Who do you have for me The stage is almost set as he calls up a woman in red And it's you; yeah it's you He says pick any card And I blush as he tells the world You are the queen of my heart It could be magic You and me We could give it a go It could be magic Just believe We could steal the show He could spell it out for us or leave Leave a little mystery He takes padlocks and chains And tells us both to check with a feel that it's real made of steel We try to break free but it's all in vain Cause he knows from the start What little wishes do to the heart What did you do to my heart It could be magic You and me We could give it a go It could be magic Just believe We could steal the show He could spell it out for us or leave Leave a little mystery Pixie dust or fools like us What creates these bonds of love unseen What could it be It could be magic You and me We could give it a go It could be magic Just believe We could steal the show He could spell it out for us or leave Leave a little mystery

Charing Cross Road 02:46

I swore it was you dressed in blue where’d you run off to I lost you in a crowd I know when but don’t know how You please me; you tease me Amuse me and confuse me All I know is I’ll spot you on Charing Cross Road I’ve been up and down Charing Cross Road Had a good look found some second hand books Found some rare tunes I’ve been listening to But there’s no magic here without you I’ll be waiting for you on Charing Cross Road What could be worse than this curse of a thirst With nothing to prevent it and no way to quench it You spell me; compel me See through me and undo me I’m trying to tell I love you on Charing Cross Road I’ve been up and down Charing Cross Road If I misspoke came off like a joke Let me reassure you my words are true With everything to gain; nothing to lose I’ll be waiting for you on Charing Cross Road I’ve been up and down Charing Cross Road Can’t break this spell; it’s Heaven, it’s Hell My heart’s bewitched, bedazzled and bamboozled to boot But there’s no magic here without you What’s a muggle like me to do Until I know I’ll be wandering Charing Cross Road Until I know I’ll be wandering Charing Cross Road Until I know I’ll be wandering Charing Cross Road

Why Not 02:31

You took up my dreams: Im always thinking 'bout you You took all my pride; I'm your fool it's true Can't speak when you're 'round; words become butterflies You took my heart so I think it's time Why not take all of me I'm losing touch with reality Why not take all of me I'm on the brink of insanity Why not take, take, take, take all of me I'd give you a call; you'd never feel alone I'd give you a key: you'd always have a home Every meal, my darling, I'd give you the last bite I'll give you all the spoils of war just for showing up to the fight Why not take all of me Make my fantasy a reality Why not take all of me I need you and I'm begging please Why not take, take, take, take all of me To you this might seem all a silly game To me it hurts I never even told you my name Why not take all of me Glance my direction you have my full attention Why not take all of me Start a conversation, my love, my one fixation Why not take, take, take, take all of me Why not take, take, take, take all of me

Lottery 02:10

I get off the bus at your stop I know when you're working and off the clock Love your smile when you say hey Let this be my lucky day Against the odds but still have hope I got you to laugh at my last joke Please don't laugh and walk away Let this be my lucky day My chances are slim; it don't seem fair But if I were to win what would I care If I were the one; if you chose me I'd feel like I just won the lottery I'd feel like I just won the lottery I grab a pack of gum and a Diet Coke I want to ask you out but always choke Stand in line practice what to say Let this be my lucky day My chances are slim; it don't seem fair But if I were to win what would I care If I were the one; if you chose me I'd feel like I just won the lottery I'd feel like I just won the lottery I buy a lotto ticket before I'm done Can't get the words off the tip of my tongue Toss a winning ticket in the bin And tell you tomorrow I'll try again My chances are slim; it don't seem fair But if I were to win what would I care If I were the one; if you chose me I'd feel like I just won the lottery I'd feel like I just won the lottery

My love for you is evergreen What can I do but hang around? You wrapped your arms around me then I wait for you, I wait and yet You’re late; it's late and we’re apart I hear the chainsaws; I hear the chainsaws start You're not around and nowhere to be found I am your big tree I am your big tree I am your big tree And I'm pining; pining away for you The generations come and go I give and give selflessly Through summer's heat and winter's snow Green are the eyes of jealousy I wait and wait to see your face I wait and wait but you're so late You are not around and nowhere to be found I am your big tree I am your big tree I am your big tree And I'm pining; pining away for you You are not around and nowhere to be found I am your big tree I am your big tree I am your big tree And I'm pining; pining away for you Can't see the forest Can't see the forest through the trees Sometimes I don’t think you understand me You are not around and nowhere to be found I am your big tree I am your big tree I am your big tree And I'm pining; pining away for you You are not around and nowhere to be found I am your big tree I am your big tree I am your big tree And I'm pining; pining away for you

The day is cold and rainy We’re all a bit insaney locked inside We don’t need a reason Pack a bag we’re leaving, Yeah we’re going for a ride And I always want you by my side Fun in the sun, we’re outta here Fun in the sun, clear the stratosphere You’ll be my world, my atmosphere Fun in the sun, Fun in the sun Check the rear view mirror Earth is small and blue Mercury and Venus wouldn't be the same without you You make each day feel brand new Fun in the sun, we’re outta here Fun in the sun, clear the stratosphere You’ll be my world, my atmosphere Fun in the sun, Fun in the sun Slow burn, solar flares, solar winds, and arm chairs Making shadow puppets and graffiti on the moons Filling lava lamps and Molotov Cocktails Having cheese and wine in hot air balloons Is that a fire storm, or a phoenix reborn? Fun in the sun, we’re outta here Fun in the sun, clear the stratosphere You’ll be my world, my atmosphere Fun in the sun, Fun in the sun
