1. FRIDAY ON MY MIND

Monday morning feels so bad
Everybody seems to nag me
Come on Tuesday I feel better
Even my old man looks good
Wednesday just won't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind.

Gonna have fun in the city
Be with my girl, she's so pretty
She looks fine tonight
She is outa' sight to me.

Tonight, I'll paint it red
Tonight, I'll lose my head
Tonight, I've got to get tonight
Monday I have Friday on my mind.

Do the five day drag once more
No one, nothing else that bugs me
Now I'm working for the rich man
But I'll change his tune one day.

Tonight I'll get mad
Tomorrow I'll be glad
'Cause I've got Friday on my mind.

Gonna have fun in the city
Be with my girl she's so pretty
She looks fine tonight
She is outa' sight to me.

Tonight, I'll paint it red
Tonight, I'll lose my head
Tonight, I've got to get tonight
Monday I have Friday on my mind.

Yeah

Gonna have fun in the city
Be with my girl she's so pretty
Gonna have fun in the city
Gonna have some fun
Be with my girl she's so pretty
Gonna have some fun.

Gonna have fun in the city
Gonna have some fun
Be with my girl she's so pretty
In the city tonight
Gonna have fun in the city.


2. WILD FRONTIER

Remember the old country
They call the emerald land
And I remember my hometown
Before the war began.

Now we're riding on a sea of rage
The victims you have seen
You'll never hear them sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're goin' back
Back to the wild frontier.

I remember my city streets
Before the soldiers came
Now armoured cars and barricades
Remind us of our shame.

We are drowning in a sea of blood
The victims you have seen
Never more to sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.

Those are the days I will remember
Those are the days I most recall
We count the cost of those.


3. CRYING IN THE SHADOWS

Sometimes he sees her walking by
He never looks her in the eye
She doesn't know, she doesn't care
What he is feeling.

And as she turns to walk away
There is nothing he can say
She doesn't know
Why should she care?
When he's alone, she's never there
To see him.

Crying in the shadows
Of a love he used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of someone he called his own
But now he's all alone again.

Sometimes she sees him walking by
She never looks him in the eye
He doesn't know, he doesn't care
What she is feeling.

As he turns to walk away
There is nothing she can say
He doesn't know
Why should he care?
When she's alone, he's never there
He leaves her.

Crying in the shadows
Of a love she used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of someone she called her own
But now she's all alone again.

Well, he can see it in her eyes
And she can fell it in her heart
Yes, they can feel it in their hearts
It's tearing them apart
Over and over again.

Crying in the shadows
Of a love he used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of someone she called her own
But now she's all alone.

Crying in the shadows
Of a love they used to know
But now it's all over
Crying in the shadows
Of a love they used to know
But now they're all alone again.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows
Crying in the shadows, of love.


UK VERSION

1. OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house
He waited till the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged
You stand accused of robbery
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away
For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
A prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him deer
But yet he dare not say
Just where he had been that fateful night
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend
He'd spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
Back in her arms again he'll be
Over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell
He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in his arms again she'll be.

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
As sure as the river reach the sea
Back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in her arms is where he'll be.

Over the hills
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills
Over the hills and far away.

Remember the old country

And I remember my hometown

Now we're riding on a sea of rage
The victims you have seen
You'll never hear them sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're goin' back
Back to the wild frontier.

I remember my city streets

Now armoured cars and barricades
Remind us of our shame.

We are drowning in a sea of blood

Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.

3. TAKE A LITTLE TIME

I know the reason
You turn your back
On things that you don't wanna hear
I know this feelin'
I get from you
When you try to act so sincere.

But I don't know
What's making you behave this way
I'm gonna go
You never hear a word I say
You better learn to.

Take a little time
To show me that you care for me
Take a little time
To show me you're still there for me.

I know the danger
You're holding all the cards
Because you think I'll wait
You're like a stranger
You better show your hand
Before it gets too late.

But I don't know
What's making you behave this way
I'm gonna go
I might as well just walk away
If you don't learn to.

Take a little time
To show me that you care for me
You gotta take a little time
To show me you're still there for me
You better take a little time
To show me what's been going on
It's been like this for much too long
Take a little time.

Don't hand me all these lines
My eyes are open wide now
Don't give me all your lies
I'm gettin' much too wise for you
Take a little time.

But I don't know
What's making you behave this way
You never hear a word I say
I might as well just walk away
If you don't learn to.

Take a little time
To show me that you care for me
You better take a little time
To show me you're still there for me
You gotta take a little time
To show me what's been going on
It's been like this for much too long
Take a little time.

You gotta take a little time
I'm tellin' you
You gotta take a little.

Take a little time
Take a little time
Take a little
Take a little time.

You gotta take a little
Take a little
You gotta take a little
Take a little time.

I'm tellin' you
Take a little
Take a little time.

Take a little
Take a little time.

3. RUN FOR COVER (LIVE)

Run, run
Run, run.

Run, you'd better find somewhere to run
You've made a fool of everybody
But you're not fooling anyone.

Hide, you always need someplace to hide
But you can't hide from what's inside yourself
You just can't face it.

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside.

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Before it gets too late.

Run, you're gonna run like out of time
You let the suffering behind now
And all the years have passed you by.

Lies, I used to listen to you
Lies, but now I've learned to read between the lines
I've got your number.

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside.

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Before it gets too late.

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
From loneliness inside.

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
What's eating you inside.

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Yeah.

Run for cover
Run - run - run - run
Run - run - run - run
Run - run - run - run
Yeah.
