Magnum (UK) : Chapter and Verse - The Very Best of

Lyrics
1. ROCKIN' CHAIR
You want love
You get hate
Oh you push and you shove
You know you just can't wait
You've had your fun
You don't fool no one
You build it up
To tear it down
Runnin out of luck
I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night
Till you're out of sight
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no
Rockin' chair
When you came
You played rough
Now I know your game
And you ain't good enough
On't know what you've done
'Cause you ain't begun
You fool with me
You gotta understand
That you don't get to choose
Whe night comes around
I can't be found
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no
Rockin' chair
Red sky burnin'
Won't be no returnin' so long
Fire up the motor
Don't you get no closer
Yeah I'm gone
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no
Rockin' chair
I need my rockin'
But I don't need no
Rockin' chair
2. VIGILANTE
Racing in the shadows, the pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying and the children try to Sleep
Just another promise, they don't really care
Cause the movement on the border's got the people running Scared
Standing on the corner, never got things done
If you leave you're front door open, you'll be the foolish One
No misunderstanding, no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation, a gun is all you need
I said go call the vigilante...
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante...
He don't get kicked around
Hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Standing on the corner, never got things done
If you leave you're front door open, you'll be the foolish One
No misunderstanding, no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation, a gun is all you need
I said go call the vigilante...
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante...
He don't get kicked around
Hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Racing in the shadows, the pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying and the children try to Sleep
Just another promise, they don't really care
Cause the movement on the border's got the people running Scared
I said go call the vigilante...
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante...
He don't get kicked around, kicked around
Hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
I said hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice, oh!
Oh, I said, hold on, there's a new way a comin'
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on, walking on ice
Hold on, hold on
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice, oh!
No! - No! - No! - No! - No! - No! - No! - No! - No!
Vigilante - vigilante man!
Vigilante - call the vigilante man!
Vigilante - vigilante man!
Vigilante - call the vigilante man!
Vigilante - vigilante man!
Vigilante - go call the vigilante man!
Vigilante - vigilante man!
Vigilante - call the vigilante, vigilante man!
Vigilante - vigilante man!
3. C'EST LA VIE
Learn the secrets of kings and queens
Famous lovers interpret dreams
Powerful nations return to the dust
Fearful passion on pride and lust
Trace the borders, so many lines
Maps and orders, land for our lives
Wild adventures and daring escapes
Paid assassins and the widows they make
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie - don't you cry
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie - don't you cry
Sound of fury, their battle cry
Brave or crazy, they surely will die
Another child lies in his mother's arms
Warm and cosy, no need for alarm
Don't be alarmed
Cold and ragged with icy feet
On these supposed golden streets
Where eyes pillage the answers of time
Rise determined to answer their cry
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie - don't you cry
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie - don't you cry
4. HEARTBROKE AND BUSTED
What you gonna do on your own
Even wonder should you ever go home
Here come those feelings can't be right
You think nobody's gonna miss you tonight
Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Gonna be alright when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowin'
Can slow you down
Yeah you be alright when love comes around
You say that you've never known
The kind of love that gets down deep
In you soul
You're still reelin' from the fight
You wouldn't know it if it hit you tonight
Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Gonna be alright when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowin'
Can slow you down
Yeah you be alright when love comes around
And I will never know
The questions you're asking
Oh I know nothing at all
How can you stand upon
The judgement you're passing
When you don't even know the cause
Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Gonna be alright when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowin'
Can slow you down
Yeah you be alright when love comes around
5. ON A STORYTELLERS NIGHT
There's a stormlamp on the table
Throwing shadows to the gable
And you swallow if your able
On a storyteller's night
From the poor house chimes indifferent
Seven towers seven sisters
Every blackheart walks the distance
On a storyteller's night
Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep in God's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines
Keep your night light burning
I'll come through the wind and rain
Keep your night light burning
I'll be with you once again
There's a chill wind at your back door
And the fire cracks on the damp floor
You hear footsteps but you're not sure
On a storyteller's night
See the night sky supernova
Chase the cold moon passing over
Start the dragon's fire to smoulder
On a storyteller's night
6. START TALKING LOVE
Just another broken heart
Any fool can see
Though we're living worlds apart
You're still next to me
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
Just another lonely night
I'm missing you again
Nothing ever turns out right
So when's it gonna end
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
Talk about love
You left me with a broken heart
Any fool can see
Now we're ling worlds apart
Guess it was meant to be
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
Talk about love
7. MAMA
I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different I know
You got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Can't fall down never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You got to show a little givin'
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue
Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me
We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accountin'
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can
Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me
8. LONELY NIGHT
I'm looking for someone
In this old crazy world tonight
I can't take this heartbreak
In this old crazy world tonight
I'm feeling so empty
In this old crazy world tonight
I'm restless defenceless
In this unholy world tonight
I never learn
O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night
Lonely lonely night
I'm waiting for something
To put these foolish things to right
Protected accepted
I need it now I need it right
I'm feeling so empty
In this old lonely world's tonight
I'm restless defenceless
In this unholy world tonight
For love we burn
We never learn
We never learn
O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night
O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night
9. CRYING TIME
You're old enough to stand and face the truth
Through all this crying
Has a little bit of kindness shaken loose
So you keep on trying, keep on
Your eyes are like the windows to your soul
Through all this dying
As adventures shared by many young and old
So you keep on trying
Till the tears come falling down
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
Those tears don't lie
Those tears you cry
Those tears you cry
However things uncertain might appear
Don't walk it, blindness
And a single word of magic in your ear
Lights up inside us, light up
On many nights your step is strong and sure
So close behind us
Cried out for help from many distant shore
Soon reminds us
And the tears come falling down, falling down
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
Those tears come falling down
It's crying time
Those tears don't lie
Those tears you cry
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
It's crying time
Those tears don't lie
It's crying time
10. MIDNIGHT (REMIX)
I know how it feels to cry
But it's only lovers know the reason why
They stay together
And when your time has come
You'll soon discover look at what you've done
Could be forever
Your open arms say everything
You're always there
It seems I might be here all night
I'll light a candle bright
To show your way tonight(x2)
Midnight you won't be sleeping
I won't be leaving
Off with my foolish pride
Too much in trouble never could decide
Always a struggle
Now I know how it feels to cry
It's only lovers know the reason why
They stay together
Your open arms say everything
You're always there
It seems I might be here all night
I'll light a candle bright
To show your way tonight
Midnight you won't be sleeping
I won't be leaving
I'll light a candle bright
To show your way tonight
Midnight you won't be sleeping
I won't be leaving
It seems I might be here all night
I'll light a candle bright
11. IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE
Rainy day
Stormy night
She couldn't stay
It wasn't right
She never cried
She's very strong
Always tried
When it went wrong
It's nothing new
When you loose
And getting through
It's no pleasure cruise
She never lied
I heard them say
She hit the slide
And fell away
It must have been love
That let her down
It must have been love
That pushed her around
Looking for love
She never found
It must have been love
She spend her time
In an endless search
It's a crime
Keeps getting hurt
She never learns
Takes it day by day
She gets burned
And turned away
It must have been love
That let her down
It must have been love
That pushed her around
Looking for love
She never found
It must have been love
12. DAYS OF NO TRUST
Pray to the future
Look to the past
Face the accuser
Freeze in our tracks
So many children
Have fallen from grace
The door should be open
No scorn or disgrace
Keys have been stolen
Treasure is lost
Lesson is golden
Hearts have been crossed
So here's to the heros
Come one and come all
Without them well who knows
Well who knows at all
In these days of no trust
Evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
We're all living telling the same old lie
In these days of no trust
And music recorded
Might influence dreams
But headlines are courted
By stretch limosines
Pictures of plenty
Are stuck to the wall
For heads that are empty
Brains on the floor
Can't take any more
Someone is shouting
Revolution is here
He'll climb any mountain
For his selfish career
The truth's not a curtain
To be drawn back and forth
It's a flame that keeps burning
Everlasting tourch
In these days of no trust
Evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
We're all living telling the same old lie
In these days of no trust
13. DON'T WAKE THE LION
It was the day that war broke out
Everyone seemed excited
While young men boasted
And talked of great times
Dark clouds gathered
On the Maginot line
Sisters and fathers
Brothers and sons
All said goodbye
It seems so much fun
We'll be finished by Christmas
Back home by the fire
Perish the distance
The bombs and the wire
Don't wake the lion
There's a firework show tonight
Eveyone's been invited
There's mud on faces
With frightened white eyes
And some won't make it
Throught the thunderous noise
Powerful and angry
Answer the guns
All through the night
Relief never comes
It's criminal deception
Sets man against man
Indicting reflection
A devious plan
Don't wake the lion
Hear what they´re saying
Come the freeze
You'd better hold on tight
And while your praying
On your knees
Prepare to stand and fight
Someone keeps saying
It's written in a book
So keep yourself in line
But you're betraying
With every nervous look
That now it's killing time
And from the morning to the night
We tried
They said it all would turn out right
They lied
Too old to die young
Too big to cry
Too old to die young
To say goodbye
Above the raging evening sky
Will never be the same
While necks are straining
Those hidden eyes
Shoot out another flame
And from the morning to the night
We try
They said it all would turn out right
But they lied
Yes they lied
Too old to die young
Too big to cry
Too old to die young
To say goodbye
14. JUST LIKE AN ARROW
We talk endlessly, don't get anywhere
Born in reality, cradled in care
If you needed me or mistreated me
Won't you still be there
And those lonely nights, when you find it hard
Losing your appetite, breaking apart
If you needed me or mistreated me
Don't break my heart
It goes deep my love, only for you
Just like an arrow
It goes deep my love, only for you
Just like an arrow
Straight through your heart
15. WHEN THE WORLD COMES DOWN
Hiding somewhere out of sight,
Oh, you alright
Feeling, pulled from left to right,
Oh, you alright
You're been alone again tonight,
No one has called
If they had known,
I think they might,
'Cause you've got it all, yeah
There are times it's hard to swallow...
When the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
And your dreams, they all come true...
Oho...
I hear you crying to yourself,
Oh, that's not right
And I know you,
Oh, you need somebody's help,
Oh, for tonight
But you sit alone,
Turn off your light, feeling so small
You should have known how well you might,
You've got it all
There are times it's hard to swallow...
When the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
And your dreams, they all come true...
There are times it's hard to swallow...
Oh, when the world comes down on you...
May it shine on you tomorrow...
Oh, and your dreams, they all come true...
Sing it...
Oh - oh - oh
May all your dreams come true...
Dreams come true for you...
I want them to...
