BIG TIME
(Hughes/Thrall)
There's no use hidin'
I'm comin' after you
You know I have decided
Now what you gonna do?
I hear the police knocking and
I know just why they came
I see the full moon risin'
Now I guess you know my name
Stand in line with a hundred dollar bill
Like a runaway train 'till I've had my fill
Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up
Now the sun is shinin' but
I'm standin' on shaky ground
We'll be slippin' and slidin' and
you know where we can be found
Spend the day in bed drinkin' your champagne
I've got you in my head
Now ain't that a doggone shame
See you on the MTV
Now you paid the price
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you ready for the big time
I've got my mind made up
Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up
I can hear the backbeat grindin' down your spine
I can feel your body heat now, baby
It's your time
You know the way you move
You keep me up all night
You got something to prove
I see your name in lights
Stand in line with a hundred dollar bill
Like a runaway train 'till I've had my fill
Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up
Are you ready for the big time
I've got my mind made up
Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up
LIVIN' FOR THE MINUTE
(Hughes/Gowdy)
Oh, yeah
There was a time when the day turned into night
And I was barely just alive
And I remember walkin' in the light
Just tryin' to reach the other side
I want to tell you what is on my mind
No need to suffer, no need to worry
All is forgiven and I hope you'll find
That's the way life's supposed to be
You better listen
You know where I've been
I've been livin' for the minute
Livin' for the minute
I need a vision, I won't live in sin
I've been livin' for the minute
Livin' for the minute
You better listen
You know where I've been
I've been livin' for the minute
Livin' for the minute
And you don't know me, know me at all
You don't know the man behind the face
And now you call me, call me for advice
But you don't hear a single thing
And now you wonder and I know you realize
But you won't stop, and you won't give in
I want to tell you what is on my mind
No need to suffer, no need to worry
All is forgiven and I hope you'll find
That's the way life's supposed to be
I'm livin'
You better listen
You know where I've been
I've been livin' for the minute
Livin' for the minute
I need a vision, I won't live in sin
I've been livin' for the minute
Livin' for the minute
This time
And you don't know me, know me at all
You don't know the man behind the face
And now you call me, call me for advice
But you don't hear a single thing
And now you wonder and I know you realize
But you won't stop, and you won't give in
All is forgiven and I hope you'll find
That's the way life's supposed to be
You better listen
You know where I've been
I've been livin' for the minute
Livin' for the minute
I need a vision, I won't live in sin
I've been livin' for the minute
Livin' for the minute
DOES IT MEAN THAT MUCH TO YOU?
(Hughes)
I can feel you near
But you're so far away
I can hear your voice across the way
I can tell you now and I will promise you
That I will be here night and day
Through wasted years, I've lived with undecided love
Now suddenly I'm walking through the fear
The many ways I tried now
Am I good enough?
And I will be right here
And I will be right here
I don't want to be the one to let you go
Is it too late to change your mind
And I hope that you'll surely find your way
Look no further
Does it mean that much to you?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much to you?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much to you?
And I will go on living
Such a grateful man
I just want to learn to try
And I know that there's an answer deep inside of me
'Cause we both see eye to eye
Does it mean that much to you?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much to you?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much to you?
I don't want to be the one to let you go
Is it too late to change your mind?
And I hope that you'll surely find your way
I just want to be the one to let you know
Is it too late to tell you why?
And I hope that you'll surely find real love
Look no further
Does it mean that much to you?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much to you?
Does it mean that much?
Does it mean that much to you?
And I will sacrifice all of my life just for you
Does it mean that much to you?
SAVE ME TONIGHT (I'LL BE WAITING)
(Hughes/Rojas/Kentis)
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know where I've been
They say love conquers all
So please let me in
You say that you want me
Til' the end of time
I know I've been wrong
Let me be right
I'll be waiting
Now I'm on my way
Save me tonight
I'll be waiting
Just a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of trust
In a world filled with peace that belongs to us
And you know I would die for you
And you know it's the truth
So why don't you give yourself to me
I know I've been wrong
Let me be right
I'll be waiting
Now I'm on my way
Save me tonight
I'll be waiting
And it really doesn't matter
And I know you'll see
But with your hope and your faith and destiny
Save me
I know I've been wrong
Let me be right
I'll be waiting
Now I'm on my way
Save me tonight
I'll be waiting
REDLINE
(Thrall/Hughes)
I've been looking for a new direction
No doubt about it I'm gonna lose my mind
If you call, I'll deliver on my faith you'll rely
Won't you please
In the morning I will tell you something
In the evening I will justify
Now the way that I feel is a four letter word
I'm on my knees
I can hear you comin'
On the redline
Gonna take you all the way
On the redline
You got me workin' all day
I've been told about the fourth dimension
Now am I dreamin' did you take me there
I can't hold back the river
Can I feel you inside?
Please believe
I can feel you comin'
On the redline
Gonna take you all the way
On the redline
You got me workin' all day
And I will be your cover
And I will be your guide
I'll be your lover
I'll keep you satisfied
You'll be my salvation
With you I see the way
We'll reach our destination
I'm waiting for the day
If you're looking for a new direction
No doubt about it you will love your mind
If you call, I'll deliver on my faith you'll rely
I'm on my knees
I can feel you comin'
On the redline
Gonna take you all the way
On the redline
You got me workin' all day
COFFEE & VANILLA
(Hughes/Rojas)
He loves the outdoor spirit
He's no computer man
He hates the city traffic
He doesn't understand
He keeps a ledger diary
'Cause he's a conscious man
She's into Garbo movies
She has a retro style
That girl knows what the truth is
With her painted smile
She likes to workout with her guru video
And we don't for trouble
Can we break it down
As we sit at the table
And we don't burst the bubble
And we come around
Are you ready and able
Like coffee & vanilla
They eat at Joe's cantina
They like to walk the Strand
They love the Riviera
They get there when they can
She dances like Ginger Rogers
He moves like Fred Astaire
But they're just cosmic lovers
You see them everywhere
She's the comedy queen
He's the late night king
And we don't for trouble
Can we break it down
As we sit at the table
And we don't burst the bubble
And we come around
Are you ready and able
Like coffee & vanilla
And they have given life a second chance
And they won't let go
No need for loneliness
With just one glance, will we ever know?
And we don't for trouble
Can we break it down
As we sit at the table
And we don't burst the bubble
And we come around
Are you ready and able
Like coffee & vanilla
Like coffee & vanilla

PUSH!
(Hughes)
Make you wanna do it
Well, I could be wrong and I would be right
But my mind's made up - now I see the light
I have walked the streets 'til the break of day
Won't you come to me, won't you look my way
Sing - Ah ya ya ya ya
Now the way you talk, put me in a trance
Got me all fired up, make me jump the fence
I have seen the future, I have seen the past
Gotta keep on movin', I was built to last
I will be your brother, father, mother too!
I will be the one, I'm gonna put a spell on you
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Sing - Ah ya ya ya ya
Since I've been away, now you'll surely find
I'm gonna make you love me in a seconds time
I will pick you up, I will turn you around
Baby, here I come, I'm gonna shake the ground
I have been a sinner, so take me by the hand
I will be elected in a distant land
I will be your brother, father, mother too!
I will be the one, I'm gonna put a spell on you
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Sing - Ah ya ya ya ya
I have been a sinner, so take me by the hand
I will be elected in a distant land
I will be your brother, father, mother too!
I will be the one, I'm gonna put a spell on you
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Make you wanna push
Don't you wanna do it
Sing - Ah ya ya ya ya
SHE LOVES YOUR MONEY
(Hughes/Gowdy/Allison)
Some girls are satisfied with
ordinary wishes
They don't need a temple in Brazil
Some find communion with the politics of money
You found a girl who lives there still
Tell me...how love will never compromise
The pain we hold, with so many lies
Is it over now, with the setting sun
Was it all in vain, now you've come undone
She just loves your money
And you know she's got you running
In the land of milk and honey
No one sees her coming
Steal you blind and take your soul away
She just loves your money
Some days are innocent, some painted with persuasion
Sometimes you live in misery
Can you read the face you see, the one behind the
mirror
A cold reflection of you and me
Tell me...how she could never leave your side
This faithful heart, so unsanctified
With eyes half closed, we refuse to see
With this jealous mind, never really free
She just loves your money
And you know she's got you running
In the land of milk and honey
No one sees her coming
Steal you blind and take your soul away
She just loves your money
You know how lovers come and go
You cry through too many memories
One day in a life, one day at a time
She'll break your heart in your state of mind
She just loves your money
And you know she's got you running
In the land of milk and honey
No one sees her coming
Steal you blind and take your soul away
She just loves your money
SPEAK YOUR MIND
(Hughes/Rojas)
Welcome baby, speak your mind
I'm waiting, won't you give me a sign
I'm walkin' on a fine line
I'm gonna make it right this time
Soon you will discover
Now you know you're the next in line
Speak your mind
She's a prize fighter
She's the one who comforts me
I can feel we're gettin' tighter
Sweet as honey to the bee
Soon you will discover
Now you know you're the next in line
One way or another
Now it's time to speak your mind
I know you'll recover
'Cause you know that you're one of a kind
One way or another
Now it's time to speak your mind
Now you can't decide between the passion and pain
And you're reachin' inside
Now you're talkin' to god
When you close your eyes
And you just can't let it be
And you're tellin' yourself
Now you realize
There is a reason to set you free
Now it's time to speak your mind
Soon you will discover
Now you know you're the next in line
One way or another
Now it's time to speak your mind
I know you'll recover
'Cause you know that you're one of a kind
One way or another
Now it's time to speak your mind
TALKIN' TO MESSIAH
(Hughes/Gowdy)
It's your decision
This is your life
This is your moment in time
The deepest incision
It cuts like a knife
I'm waiting for some kind of sign
And you can't seem to find the door
You'll be searchin' for evermore
This is the movement
These are the times
These are the golden days
You give your commitment
You're full of desire
Are you ready to change your ways
Are you taking the easy way out
I can feel that your mind is in doubt
I will tell you again that the road never ends
Talkin' to messiah
Talkin' to messiah, I'm talkin' to you
Talkin' to messiah
Talkin' to messiah, I'm talkin' to you
Here is my spirit
Here is my flesh
Here is my body and soul
There is too many choices
There's to much to lose
And I want to know why you're cold
Are you taking the easy way out
I can feel that your mind is in doubt
I will tell you again that the road never ends
You know it's a shame
Buy your not to blame
You keep holding on
And you can't be wrong
It's a shame
Do you feel the same
You're caught in the rain
And don't look back
And you want so badly
Again
Talkin' to messiah
Talkin' to messiah, I'm talkin' to you
Talkin' to messiah
Talkin' to messiah, I'm talkin' to you
MAYBE YOUR BABY
(Wonder)
Do you know how I feel?
Can you feel it?
I'm talkin' to you...
I'm feelin' down, some kind of lovin'
Cause my baby done left me here
Heart is blazin' like a five alarm fire
And I don't even give a care
I feel like the world has turned on me
My dreams turned to ashes right in front of my face
I'm gettin' kind fo worried
And I feel so all upset, M-hmmmm...
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
I feel like cryin'
In the mornin' when I got a heartache
I can't call up the doctor for help
Cause the only person that could ever do me any good
Is sleepin' out with my best friend
I feel like I'm slippin' deeper
Slippin' deeper into my shell
And I just can't take it
This stuff is scarin' me to death
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
I feel like cryin'
My baby's out of work
Sittin' in THE circle
Checkin' out the guys that are passin' by...
by...by...by...by...by...by
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans...
No other man can love you like I can
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Can you feel it?
I got plans for you baby
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Yeah
I just can't take it any more
You know I don't want any trouble
Now I ask myself
Do you want me baby?
Do you want me baby?
HOLY MAN
(Hughes/Coverdale/Lord)
Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said, Boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking of the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies...
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
Called to the Captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me he had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to me
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
