Still I'm Sad:
(Paul Smith, Jim McCarty)	 
	 
See the stars come falling down from the sky 
Gently passing they kiss your tear drops dry
See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face
And the rain comes falling down in its crazy way

Still I'm sad

For myself my tears just fall in the dust
As I search in the night and find they're lost
See the wind come gently blow time into my heart
And the rain comes falling down while we're apart

Still I'm sad
Still I'm sad

See the stars come falling down from the sky 
Gently passing they kiss your tear drops dry
See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face
And the rain will come falling down in its crazy, crazy way
Oh, oh, oh
Still I'm sad
Still I'm sad

Stargazer:
(Dio, Blackmore)	 	 
	 
High noon
Oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years' worth
Of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides
Why he's lighter than air
Oh I see his face

Where is your star
Is it far, Is it far, is it far
When do we leave
I believe, yes, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
So many die

We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
Don't know why
Now where do we go

Hot wind moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins while we put his wing together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face

Where is your star
It is far, is it far, is it far
When do we leave, yeah
I believe, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
So many die

All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still
Then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face

Where was your star
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave
We believe, we believe, we believe

In the heat and rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With out flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why, it don't rain
With all our chains,
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now look, look, look, look
Look at this tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And I'm coming home
Coming home, I'm coming home

Time is standing still
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh

Take me back, take me back
Back to my home, oh, oh...

L.A. Connection:
	 
Oh, carry home by broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans I guess
I've failed to pass the test
I've been sent away not a thing to say
I'm banished from the fold
I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings and left out in the cold

Ooooh L.A. connection
Oh L.A. connection
L.A. connection, yeah

Operator place a call keep secret but it through
Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who
I've got to cut the line and let me drift find a haven in the storm
I got no time I need a lift to where it's sweet and close and warm

I say
Ooooh L.A. connection
Oh L.A. connection
L.A. connection

Hey, carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans well I've just failed the test
Feel I'm balanced on the brim should I lean another way
Like a flame that's going on the dim needs blessing from the day, oh

Ooooh L.A. connection, L.A. connection
Oh take me away I got nothing to say
It's got to be an L.A. connection, oh
Ooooh L.A. connection, L.A. connection

Ooooh, L.A., L.A., L.A., L.A., L.A. connection

Rainbow Eyes:
	 
She's been gone since yesterday
Oh I didn't care
Never cared for yesterdays
Fancies in the air

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Love should be a simple blend
A whispering on the shore
No clever words you can't defend
They lead to never more

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Summer nights are colder now
They've taken down the fair
And all the lights have died somehow
Or were they ever there

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes

Uuuuh, uuh

Since You Been Gone:
(Ballard)	
	
I get the same old dreams same time everynight
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup

These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around
too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ever since you been gone

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it

Makin' Love:

I was always on the wilder side
Chasing love away
Love was something for romantic fools
Just a game how to play

How can I deny my heart
When my love is blind
I got no choice
I've gone too far
I lose my mind
When we're makin' love
When we're makin' love

When I look into your magic eyes
The mirror of my love
I like to see you
Smiling back at me
It makes me feel so good

Need to keep you satisfied
The only way I know
And all the cares I cannot hide
Will never show
When we're makin' love
Woh makin' love

Don't believe that I'm a liar
But I can't get enough
Never knew I could be higher
Just by makin' love

How can I deny my heart
When my love is blind
I got no choice
I've gone too far
I lose my mind
When we're makin' love
When we're makin' love

Don't believe that I'm a liar
But I can't get enough
Never knew I could be higher
Just by makin' love

Oh oh oh yeah oh makin' love
Oh makin' love
Makin' love
Coming to you
Makin' love
With nothing to do
Makin' love
Makin' love
Makin' love
Makin' love

Danger Zone:
	 
Shaking off the tresholds of a long forgotten dream
And you just can't make it last
Coaching paradise on a personal line
But you get fired to fast
And you lie, memories drifting by

Love don't make it on those pin-striped nights
When you're looking through someone's disguise
You can't make it alone, so you gotta make a move
But you're looking at nobody's eyes
Well that's love, or maybe love come and go

Looking for love is a danger zone
Love don't go begging in the danger zone
You won't get nothing from the danger zone

Tales that you tell from the stories that you'll hear
And you'll get what you can while you may
Don't understand when you're looking for a dame
But it's only a heartbreak away
And you'll learn, faking has no return

No way when you're feeling that way
Will your feet get caught up in the crowd
And the song that you sing is too soft to be heard
But your speakers are way too loud
Like the pain, loving is no big game

Looking for love is a danger zone
No don't go living in the danger zone
You won't get nothing from the danger zone
Don't take no chances in the danger zone
Love don't go begging in the danger zone

No don't go living in the danger zone
You won't get nothing from the danger zone
Don't take no chances in the danger zone
Love don't go begging in the danger zone

Eyes of Fire:
(Turner, Blackmore, Rondinelli)	 
	 
Hungry and wild she was born to the night
A demon, a daughter or madness
One look from her eyes could burn you alive...
Drown you in oceans of sadness
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won`t let me hide...from her eyes of fire

Face in the mirror we meet eye to eye
Passions of eternal fire
Desperately wanting and out of control
Dancing on winds of desire
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won`t let me hide...from her eyes of fire

Curtain of darkness, screams of delight
Taunts me with her sirens calling...
I got to be strong but I can`t hang on
Into the flames I am falling...
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won`t let me hide (no, no, no, no)
from her eyes of fire...

She keeps burning...
She keeps burning me,
burning me, burning me, burning me down
Eyes of fire

Stone Cold:	 
	 
Every night I have the same old dream
'bout you and me and what's in between
So many changes, so many lies
Try to run, try to hick
From everything that I feel inside
But I can't escape you, or your frozen eyes...
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...
Stone Cold...
And I knew you so well
Stone Cold
Can't break away from your spell

Another dark and empty night
It was wrong I wanna make it night
But you are so distant, so far away
Your words like ice fall on the ground
breaking the silence without a sound
Oh familiar strangers, with nothing to say
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone Cold...
And I thought I knew you so well...
Stone Cold...
I can't break away from your spell...
You leave me Stone Cold

Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and like a thief in the night
Stone Cold...
And I thought I knew you so well
You Stone Cold... yeah
I can't break away from your spell
You Stone Cold... baby
I thought I knew you so well
You're Stone cold... Ice cold...
Can't break away from your spell
(You put me in the deep freeze)
(Oh baby don't you leave me)
(Stone... Cold, your leavin' me cold)
Stone Cold... I thought I knew you so well
Stone Cold... Can't break away from your spell

Fire Dance:
(Turner, Blackmore, Glover, Rosenthal)	 

Visions of artemis
Goddess of the moonlight
The spell remains unbroken
The lost and wrong now will begin the rite of the fire dance
Standing strong and steady
Waiting for the right sign
The helix has risen
Now we have no choice but to drink the wine
For now is the time of the fire dance fire dance

Black hearted woman
Creature of the deep night
darkness in your soul
I'm hungry and searching to find the light
Now you're insight
You have control
I am in your power
The bell has tolled
I know the hour is near
As I burn with fear of the fire dance fire dance

Gypsy Queen you are my desire
You are real oh that inspires me
you own my destiny
dharuba's voice the wind is calling
I have no choice
For I am falling again and again
Oh Again into the flames of the fire dance
oh yes I am
oh oh
fire dance
fire dance
fire dance

Fool for the Night: 
	 
I know just what you're thinking
I know just how you feel
Something somewhere inside you
Say you can't believe it's real
So you're gonna play the game
All the faces and the names
And you know you're never gonna change
Fool for the night
And you don't believe it
Fool for the night
And you just can't see it

Running through the shadows
Like a phantom in the night
And as the curtain raises
You get ready for the fight
Say you want to even up the score
Don't know what you're doing it for
Too much but you still need more
Fool for the night
And you don't believe it
Fool for the night
And you still can't see it
I ain't gonna try and tell ya
You know the story oh so well
Everybody's out to buy and sell ya
You're gonna wind up by yourself
Oh here it comes again
No it's never gonna end
I must be dreaming

Fool for the night
Fool for the night
Oh here it comes again
I ain't gonna try and tell ya
You know the story oh so well
Everybody's out to buy and sell ya
You're gonna wind up by yourself
Oh here it comes again
No it's never gonna end
I must be dreaming

You love the night life
All the neon and the noise
And underneath the spotlight
You keep rockin with the boys
So you're never gonna understand
Nobody really gives a damn
Fool for the night and you don't believe it
Fool for the night why don't you see it
