- 04-Garden Party.2002
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When i got to the garden party they all knew my name
But no one recognized me i didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see you can't please ev'ryone so
- 079 - Smokie - Living Next Door To Alice
Sally called when she got the word,
She said, I suppose you've heard about Alice
Well, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive
Don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
- 09. Going Home
"Going Home"
Well now that I'm leaving
Well now that I'm going home
It's hard for me to believe in
All those words now that I'm all alone
I'm going home, I'm going home
There were times when I had me shaking
- A spaceman came travelling
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
'twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star...
He followed light and came down to a share,
Where a mother and a child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
- A Winters Tale
The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door.
Anyway the snow is covered all your foot steps
And I can follow you no more.
The fire still burns at night
My memories are warm and clear.
But everybody knows
- Ain't It Funny How It Works
Ain't it funny how it works, you chase something all you life,
then you find it when you'd finally given up.
When I least expected it, the stars lined up just right,
and suddenly I found myself in love.
When you're lyin' next to me, there's no place I'd rather be on earth.
It's strange how simple love can be, ain't it funny how it works.
- Alice.
Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind
Way up in the sky
Every move that I make
Seems to be the wrong way
Like a cold black night
After a summer day
- All alone
When evening is drawing nigh
And the moon dances in the sky
And you've nothing to believe in
At all
When your room's full of emtiness
Just the memory of her caress
And you've nothing to believe in
- All My Life
You; you are my life,
you are my only possession
and I will love you all my life
Years, years ago,
you were my only obsession
and I have loved you all my life
you flew to me like a bird on the wing
When, when I was down
- Always The Last To Know
So youre in love with someone else
Someone who burns within your soul
And it looks like Im the last to know
I hear youve never felt so alive
So much desire beyond control
And as usual I am the last to know
The last to know how youre feeling
- Angelina
Angelina's going out tonight
Like a dream clear out of sight
When she returns, we'll be as one together
Like a diamond in a world of stone
She's like the wings, she rides all alone
She'll catch the sun, and make it shine forever
But I don't wanna see her crying
- Baby It's You
I was lost and at an end
It seemed so long
I really needed a friend
Why should I pretend?
I couldn't think I had to see
That Southern Comfort comforts me
I could be free
- Back To Bradford
Even though you offered, I still refuse
Though your face is pretty, I don#t have to choose
Goodbye cardboard city, you've nothing to say
Though your face is pretty, I don't have to say
She's my friend and you know what I like
She's my friend and you know what I like
You know what I like
Going back to Bradford, it's what I prefer
- Bang Bang
Baby I've tried for you
But this heart's not bullet proof
It's like you live with all your guns against me
You shoot love down you push my heart around
And I'm taking no more
Of your faking no more
Bang bang You shot my heart
- Be My Baby
The night we met
I knew i needed you so
And if i had the chance
I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads
Every place we go
- Belinda
If you should see my Belinda
Tell her I miss her so
And give all my love to Belinda
I want her to know
I want her, I need her, I love her
I didn't mean to make you cry Belinda
When I said bye-bye Belinda
- Bella Donna
Oh Belladonna, never knew the pain
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive me insane
The open letter just carelessly placed
And your moving silence,
the tea so delicately laced
* Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
- Boulevard of broken dreams
Walking in the rain,
I can't believe the way I'm feeling;
Lonely once again,
could it be that I'm still dreaming;
I thought I heard you talking,
But deep inside I know,
this heart of mine
has left me walking
- Can't This Be Love
Love, love is a stranger drifting through the night
With no sense of danger
Never letting go, like the wind she flies so free
All of my lightening inside, it can't be denied
The truth is there to see
Can't this be love, cause it's more than a feeling to me
More than a feeling believe me, I never dreamed this could be
Can't this be love
- Changing All The Time
So you caught a glimpse of someone you once knew
And you seem to find it hard to face the truth
Oh Oh, but that don't make it right
To be wantin' me tonight
When your thoughts on love keep changing all the time
Well we both knew there's be things we'd have to face
But is it true that I can never take his place
- Chasing Shadows
Tried to carry ba myself
this heart of mine don't want no one else
My tears of emptiness
Cry out for you caress
I just can't hide this feeling inside of me
- so now I'm
Chasing shadows in the moonlight
Yes, I'm flying high across the sky
- Christmas Isn't Just for Children
Winter shades a distant light
Shining until the night has come and gone
When everyone on earth should be as one
Ooooo this night
People plan the day ahead
Reflecting on the feast that comes to mind
A blessing for the world and all mankind
Ooooo this night
- Coming Home Tonight
Waiting in a lonely home
A fire burning low
A thousand miles between us
god knows, I had to go
But distance can be overcome
In the beating of a heart
Just put your arms around yourself
Believe I'm not that far
- Don't Play Your Rock 'N' Roll to Me
Don't play your rock 'n' roll to me
That ain't the way it's meant to be
I ain't so blind that I can't see
Just let it lie, let it be
So, don't play your rock 'n' roll, no
Don't play your rock 'n' roll, no
Don't play your rock 'n' roll to me, oh
- Don't Play Your Rock'N'Roll To Me
Don't play your Rock n' Roll to me,
That ain't the way it's meant to be.
I ain't so blind that I can't see,
Just let it lie and let it be,
So, don't play your Rock n' Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock n' Roll to me.
- Every Little Kiss
Understand what you mean to me
My growing hunger for your love
I haven't always shown the way I feel
A crime I know I'm guilty of
But try to understand
It's taken me so long to free my mind
To open up to all this love you have to give
- Falling For You
Well you gave me words of wisdom on that starry summer night,
When you said you had another, when you said he held you tight.
But I didn’t let you know it, cause I know it wasn’t right,
But I think I’m going crazy, cause I’m looking for a fight.
Yes, I know you had some problems with your troubles and ideals,
But I never had the chance to show you just the way I feel,
But a life without a heart and soul it surely can’t be real
And I’m facing slaughter now and then, it’s not the best of deals
- Fistful of Dollars
You wanna dream, son
Well I can make you one
I'll take you higher than you ever thought you'd go
Yes, I can make you
And I can break you
I make the rules, you pay your dues
And don't forget it, son
- For A Few Dollars More
Rich girl, she buys her dreams
It's a rich world, behind the scenes
Green eyes, they tell it all
The more she takes, the harder they fall
She ain't easy, she ain't tough
She's had it good, than she's had it rough
And I guess it don't come too much
- Goodbye Yesterday's Heartache
SMOKIE GOODBYE YESTERDAY'S HEARTACHE LYRICS
Well I met her waitin’ tables in a coffee shop
One dark and lonely day
Ooh, I never would a’ thought in a million years
That I could fall this way
It’s funny how fate can fool ya
Just when you’re givin’ up
- Have You Ever Seen The Rain
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm,
I know;
It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know;
Shinin' down like water.
- Home Is Anywhere You Are
There are times when I feel that life's
Road is endlessly long
But as each day comes to a close
I know where I belong
In your arms I've found a harbour
For my soul
And there's no better place that I know
Cos my
- Hungry eyes

I've got this feelin that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You're mine tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these
CHORUS:
- Hungry heart
Got a wife and kids in Baltimore Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
- I Am Sailing
I am sailing, I am sailing
Home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

I am flying, passing high clouds,
- I Can Be a Heartbreaker Too
My friends come to tell me something

- I Feel Love
I was five years old
When I first saw her face
I can see her now, school yard was the place
And she took my breath away
'Cause I felt love that day
I was ten years old
When mama said goodbye
- I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table
- I'd Die for You
You look so sad in your eyes

Cause you are running around
with another guy
You must decide where you stand
And you know I mustask you again and again
Tell me that your love is still the same
I'd die for you my baby
- I'll Meet You At Midnight
A summer evening on the Champs Elysйes
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
A sea of faces in a crowded cafй
The sound of laughter as the music plays
Jean Claude was a student at the universitй
Louise Marie was just a world away
He recalled the night they met was warm with laughter
- If You Think You Know How to Love
Breathless drive on a downtown street,
Motorbike ride in the mid-day heat.
Dust that hung from the desert skies -
Run though we'd run, it still burned our eyes.
Oh yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side of life.
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side.
In the shadows of a promise you can take my hand,
- If you think you know how to love me
A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat,
The dust that hung from the desert skies,
Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes,
Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life,
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side,
And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand,
- If You Think You Know Now To Love Me
A breathless drive on a down town street
A motor bike ride in the mid-day heat
The dust that hung from the desert skies
Run though we'd run, it still burned our eyes
Oh yes we may walk on the wild, wild side of life,
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side
And in the shadows of a promise take my hand
And show me a way to understand

A sound of laughter as the music plays.

He recall the night they met
- In The Heat Of The Night
In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right
But you do what you want to do.
You do what you feel

In the summertime city ain’t it a pity
There’s so much to tie you down
You’re leaving tonight for somewhere

I hear you didn't like my show
Well that's alright
A critic's views are not all you know

Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true
Sure rang true
Seems it never rains in southern California
- It's Your Life
Who said the web of life is woven in a dream?
‘Cause your life is filled with dreams you can’t believe.
So the only way you live with it is acting ev’ry scene
And you play the part so well that you deceive
Now and again you find you ain’t got a friend
Who knows?
I come and I go

Jet lagged, whiped out

All I need is a little moderation.

- Just When I Needed You Most
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.
But I miss you more than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, god knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
- Last Train
So I'm standing at the station
For trains that never show

It's so cold and lonely here
and it's miles from where we were
so I'm waiting for the last train
coming in

- Livin' next door to Alic
Sally called when she got the word,
She said, I suppose you've heard about Alice
Well, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive
Don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know

She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice."

A big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive.
- Lodi
Just about a year ago, i set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad, and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh ! Lord, stuck in lodi again
Rode in on the greyhound, i'll be walkin' out if i go
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
- Love Can Change Your Heart
I still feel so good, when you touch my hand
And a world of fear just fades away

I'm lonely when you go away
I just want you here forever
I believe in, I believe in love can change

Love hurts Love scars Love wounds And bonds any heart

I learned from you I really learned a lot
Really learned a lot Love is like a flame It burns you when it's
- Love Take Me Away Sleeping Beauty
The thousand years she sleeped in bed
No one comes near, no one there
He's riding like the wind through the night
He's riding hard just to be by her side
The thousand years she stayed the same
Frozen in time, nothing has changed
His heart implied on the wind through the night
To kiss her lips, to restore her life

This brain won't call forever
This heart won't turn to stone if we just hold on

We can take what's wrong and make it better

Isn't it a little strange
Though many years have come and gone
None of us have really changed

It may be hard to work out
And seem to survive
- No more letters
Gotta rubber stamp on my jumbo,
Gotta rubber stamp on my brain,

- Northern Soul
Well, it's a no good complain
and the things are the same as they used to be

Cause all them voisler dancing all through the night
Fresh from working down on the cold

I warned you about the things you say

I said come on let's get down
- Pass It Around

Lonely night

You wonder were your dreams are gone.
And if you find there's nothing in your mind
To help you carry on.
Write and read your only company
When you can't find a friend.
- Runaway Train
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a fire, fire without a light.
You were there like a blow torch burning,
I was a key that could use a little turning.
So tired that I couldn't even sleep,
So many secrets I couldn't keep.
Promised myself I wouldn't weep,
- Sailing
I am sailing, I am sailing,

Maybe I'm a loner,

And I've spent my time,
In many lonesome towns.
- She Rides Wild Horses
It´s just her and the band and the clean up men

She drives home to a 3-room flat
Checks her machine and she feeds the cat
She´s almost asleep before she turns out the lights.
- Shy Guy
When you look my way

Open your heart to all of those years

But I still love you and I want you to know:

Yes I'm gonna go Surfin Surfin

My tears are fallin',
'Cause you've taken her away.
And though it really hurts me so,
There's somethin' that I've got to say...
Take good care of my baby,
Please don't ever make her blue,
Just tell her that you love her,
- Talking Her Round
I saw her one morning in the warm morning light
She looked as sweet as could be
Something inside me said she was the one
Who would be marrying me
[Chorus:]
But it's talking her round to seeing my way
Trying to convince her but it's taking all day
- Tell Me Why
I don't understand this
I don't really care
You know I didn't plan this
You know I wouldn't dare

There's no other one
Who thrill me like you do

Arms of Mary

Looked just like a boy

Little Jenny came out of school,
Givin' boys the eye,
But the smile she gave to me,

A dollar-fifty treat,
Went out to the car and came right back,
- The Other Side of The Road
(C. Norman / P. Spencer)
Getting so sick of your silly lies,
I may have been dumb, but I'm getting wise
You really head me running babe
There was a time you'd looked at me and hypnotise
Feel hung up and you bring me down
- Think About The Night
When you close your eyes tonight
think of what we hat
Don't feel sadness, don't feel shame
'cause we had true romance
Oh, we had it all
A love so bright
Like a diamond in the skay
Before yousleep and dreams unfold
- This Is Wot I Did
Six o'clock in the morning still walking the floor We should have been talking, instead of closing the door
Instead of going crazy tonight should have thought about getting it right
Cos this is wot I did while you were foolin' around This is wot I did you were making no sound This is wot and it just don't seem right And if you think this over I won't give in I just won't give in
Seems that we're getting restless I'd better knock on your door See if you're still sleeping and ask you what it's all for
- To Me
Don't play your Rock n' Roll to me,
That ain't the way it's meant to be.
I ain't so blind that I can't see,
Just let it lie and let it be,
So, don't play your Rock n' Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock n' Roll to me.
- Warm Nights With You
If I gave up the rest for you
Tell me where would it lead me
Girl if your love is true
Tell me what would you do
Ooh, ooh
If I promise you all my life
- What can I do
Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind
Way up in the sky
Every move that I make
Seems to be the wrong way
Like a cold black night
After a summer day
- When The Lightening Strikes
It's close to midnight
There's a chill in the air
I long to touch you
But I don't dare
There's a wall between us
There's a storm in the air
Though yu're lying beside me
It's like you're not even there
- When The Night Falls
When the first light of day breaks up the darkness
And reflex on my pillow next to you
I'll be somewhere far away
But close enough
to feel your love.
When the midday sun burns up the morning
I have spent half my day missing you
- When You Walk In The Room
Maybe it's a dream come true
Walking right along beside of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a close sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
- Whiskey In The Jar
«Whiskey in the Jar» (русск. Виски во фляге) — знаменитая ирландская народная песня. Повествует о разбойнике, ограбившем чиновника и уличившем возлюбленную в измене.

Однако наибольшую популярность среди слушателей получили версии групп Thin Lizzy, U2, Pulp и Metallica (в 1998 году версия последних выиграла Грэмми).
As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said «stand and deliver or the devil he may take you»
- Who The Fuck Is Alice
Sally called when she got the word,
She said: "I suppose you've heard -
About Alice".
Well I rushed to the window,
And I looked outside,
But I could hardly believe my eyes -
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive...
- Who'll stop the rain
Long as I remember The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, Wrapped in golden chains.
- Wild Angels
Juanita came to me last night and she cried over and over
Ooh, Daddy I love you you know and I think it's the moonlight
She looked so fine, well she looked alright and she moaned
Ooh, Daddy move over
Oh, baby you know what I like and I think it's the moonlight
Made in Mexico, schooled in France ooh la lovin'
She needed no teachin'
- Wild Wild Angel
Don't talk to me of shattered dreams
Of course you don't know what it means
To live for someone else you just can't take
Oh and when you're bitten by the truth
You blame it on your misspent youth
you never seem to learn by your mistakes.
So don't talk to me of wild wild angels
- Wild Wild Angels
Don't talk to me of shattered dreams
Of course you don't know what it means
To live for someone else you can't just take
Oh and when you're bitten by the truth
You blame it on your misspent youth
You never seem to learn by your mistakes
So don't talk to me of wild wild angels
- Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
Tonight you're mine completely
you give your love so sweetly
tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasute
Or just a moment's pleasure
So tel me now I won't ask again
- You're so Different Tonight
Baby I'm glad to see you the way you do
There's something special in your eyes
Baby I I should tell you how I feel for you
I want your love to be mine
'Cause you're so different tonight
You shine when you walk in the room
You're so different tonight
Seems all the boys have eyes for you
- You're So Vain
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
- иголки и булавки
I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away, and get down on
my knees and pray
That they'd go away
But still they begin
Needles and pins
- Кто такая Эллис
Сэлли позвонила, как только узнала,
Она сказала, я думаю, ты уже слышал об Элис.
Я тут же бросился к окну и посмотрел,
Я не мог поверить своим глазам:
Большой лимузин подъезжал к двери Элис.
Я не знаю, почему она уходит
и куда собирается идти,
