[part i: turn it on again]

[intro]
good evening!
welcome to the fabulous madison square garden arena
you havin’ a good time tonight?
i hope so, hope so
we’d like to play some things for you

[verse 1]
well, all i need is a tv show
that and the radio
down on my luck again
down on my luck again

[chorus]
i can show you, i can show you
some of the people in my life
i can show you, i can show you
some of the people in my life

[post*chorus]
it’s driving me mad
oh, it’s just another way of passing the day, aw, ah yeah
i, i get so lonely when she’s not there
i, i, i, i
[verse 2]
you’re just another face
i know from my tv show
well, i have known you for so very long
i feel likе a friend
would you do anything for me?
can i touch you for a while?
can i meet you on anothеr day
and we will fly away?

[chorus]
i can show you, i can show you
some of the people in my life
i can show you, i can show you
some of the people in my life, my life, my life

[post*chorus]
it’s driving me mad
oh, it’s just another way of passing the day, aw, ah yeah
i, i get so l*l*l*l*lonely when she’s not there
i, i, i, i

[part ii: land of confusion]

[verse 3]
i must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams
i’ve been haunted by a million screams
but i can hear the marching feet
they’re moving into the street
now, did you read the news today?
well, they say the danger’s gone away
but i can see the fires still alight
and they’re burning into the night
[pre*chorus]
well, there’s too many men, too many people
making too many problems
but there’s not much love to go round
tell me why this is a land of confusion?

[chorus]
now this is the world we live in
and these are the hands we’re given
use them and let’s start trying
to make this a place worth fighting for, oh*oh

[part iii: misunderstanding]

[chorus]
well, there must be some misunderstanding
no, there must be some kind of mistake
’cause you’re waiting in the rain for hours
but you were late

[verse 4]
well, i’d been waiting for this weekend
i thought that maybe we could see a show
well, i never dreamed i’d have this feeling
ah, but seeing you is believing
that’s why i don’t know why you didn’t show up that night
[chorus]
there must be some misunderstanding
you know, there must be some kind of mistake
you know, there must be some misunderstanding
you know, there must be some kind of mistake

[outro]
there must be, there must be, oh*oh
misunderstanding
there must be, there must be, oh*oh
misunderstanding
oh, please, oh, there must be, oh*oh
misunderstanding
there must be, there must be, oh*oh

[part iv: throwing it all away]

[intro]
dee*di*day, dee*di*day
dee*di*day, dee*di*day
dee*di*day, dee*di*day
dee*di*day*day*day*day, dee*di*day
dee*di*day, dee*di*day
day, day*day

[verse 5]
need i say i love you?
need i say i care?
need i say that emotions
are something we don’t share?
i don’t want to be sitting here
trying to deceive you
’cause you know i know babe
ooh, that i don’t wanna go

[verse 6]
we cannot live together
but we cannot live apart
and that’s the situation
i’ve known it from the start
but every time that i look at you
well, i can see the future
well, you know i know babe
ooh, that i don’t wanna go

[chorus]
just throwing it all away
throwing it all away
is there nothing that i can say?
hey, ah

[post*chorus]
doo*doo, doo*doo*doo*doo
doo*doo*doo*doo
oh*oh*yeah
you’re throwing it all away
oh, doo*doo*doo*doo
doo*doo*doo*doo
oh*oh*yeah

[outro]
’cause you’re throwing it all
throwing it all, throwing it all, throwing it all
throwing it all, throwing it all, throwing it all
throwing it all, throwing it all away*ay
dee*di*day, dee*di*day
dee*di*day, dee*di*day
dee*di*day, dee*di*day
dee*di*day, dee*di*day
dee*di*day, dee*di*day*day*day*day
dee*di*day*day*day*day, dee*di*day*day*day
need i say i love you?
need i say i care?
need i say that emotions
are something we don’t share?
i don’t want to be sitting here
trying to deceive you
’cause you know i know babe
i don’t, no, no, i don’t
i don’t wanna go

[part v: you can’t hurry love]

[intro]
well, i need love, love
ooh, to ease my mind
and i need to find find
someone to call mine
and my mama said

[chorus]
“you can’t hurry love
no, you just have to wait”
she said, “love don’t come easy
’cause it’s a game of give and take
you can’t hurry love
no, you just have to wait
just say trust in a good time
no matter how long it takes”

[verse 7]
but how many heartaches must i stand
before i find the love to let me live again?
but right now, the only thing, ooh, keeps me hanging on
when i hear these words, keep me hanging on
i remember mama said

[chorus]
“no, you just have to wait”
she said, “love don’t come easy
it’s a game of give and take
you can’t hurry love
oh, you just have to wait
just trust in a good time
no matter how long it takes”
and now break!

[part vi: shortcut to somewhere]

[verse 8]
he was a fallen angel from the tower of babble
strung out on the high wire
another skyline drifter, an immaculate stranger
a legend for the wild west end
so when you’re running in the down stream of the rat street veterans
only one way’s left to go
slip away, slide away, get out, quicksilver
quick, way’s the only way through
the only way through

[chorus]
everyone’s wanting a shortcut to somewhere
everyone’s looking someone to lean on
everyone’s looking a shortcut to somewhere
everyone’s looking for someone to fall
everyone’s looking for somebody’s hero
are they nowhere to be found?
are they nowhere to be found?

[part vii: all i need is a miracle]

[verse 9]
i said, “go if you wanna go
stay if you wanna stay”
i never cared if you went around
i didn’t care if you went away
oh, i thought i was being cool
yes, i thought i was being strong
but you know it’s the same old story
you never know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone

[pre*chorus]
but if i ever get back to you
i’m gonna love you for the rest of my life

[chorus]
all i need is a miracle, all i need is you
well, all i need is a miracle, all i need is you
all i need is a miracle, all i need is you
all i need, all i need is a miracle, all i need is you
all i need is a miracle, all i need is a miracle
all i need is a miracle, oh, all i need is a miracle, oh

[part viii: that’s all]

[intro]

[verse 10]
just as i thought, it was going alright
i found out i’m wrong, when i thought i was right
it’s always the same, it’s just a shame, that’s all
well, i could say day, you’d say night
tell me it’s black, when i know that it’s white
it’s always the same, it’s just a shame, that’s all

[pre*chorus]
i could leave, but i won’t go, though my heart might tell me so
i can’t feel a thing from my head down to my toes

[chorus]
so why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me?
it’s always the same, it’s just a shame, that’s all

[verse 11]
you’re turning me on, turning me off
you’re making me feel like i want too much
living with you’s just a*putting me through it, all of the time
running around, staying out all night
taking it all instead of taking one bite
living with you’s just a*putting me through it all of the time

[pre*chorus]
well, i could leave, but i won’t go, it’d be easier, i know
i can’t feel a thing from my head down to my toes

[chorus]
so why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, and you looking at me?
it’s always the same, it’s just a shame, and that’s all
that’s all

[part ix: tonight, tonight, tonight]

[chorus]
tonight, tonight, tonight, oh*oh
yes, we’re gonna make it right
tonight, tonight, tonight, oh*oh
ooh, yes, we’re gonna make it right
tonight, tonight, tonight, oh*oh
yes, we’re gonna make it right
tonight, tonight, tonight, oh*oh

[part x: invisible touch]

[verse 12]
well i’ve been waiting
i’ve been waiting here so long
but thinking nothing
no, nothing could go wrong
now i know
she’s got a built*in ability
to take everything she sees
and now it seems
i’m falling, falling for her

[chorus]
she seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
she reaches in and grabs right hold of your heart
she seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
she takes control and slowly tears you apart

[outro]
she seems to have an invisible touch
she seems to have an invisible touch
she seems to have an invisible touch
she seems to have an invisible

[part xi: turn it on again (reprise)]

[chorus]
turn it on, turn it on again
turn it on
turn it on, turn it on again
turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it
turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
it on again, it on again, it on again, it on again
turn it on, turn
turn it on, turn it on again
turn it on
turn it on, turn it on again

[outro]
thank you, goodnight
enjoy the rest of the show
thank you, bye*bye
