1. "Angel With A Dirty Face"
(L. Gramm / P. Wolf / I. Wolf)

Was standing there, watching her
While she would shoot, arrows at my heart
And I know, there's no stopping now
She's out to get me, and boy she knows how

Like a landslide, all power going down
She took the ground out from under my feet
I knew this girl would get me right here
Where happiness and heartache meet

I'm givin' you a heartbreak warning, oh-oh oh-oh oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak warning, oh-woah oh-oh oh
Yeah, now I don't want to run this race
Heartbreak warning, oh-oh oh-oh oh
She's an angel with a dirty face, angel with a dirty face

I let it go, at full speed
When in love it seems, you're invincible at heart
Everyday, I got deeper in it
I was victim right from the start

I didn't know, the minute she was sure
Her poison arrow, had it the bull's eye
She turned and said my dreams are out of line
And stayed around to watch them die, watch them die

I'm givin' you a heartbreak warning, oh-oh oh-oh oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak warning, oh-woah oh-oh oh
Yeah, now I don't want to run this race
Heartbreak warning, oh-oh oh-oh oh
She's an angel with a dirty face, angel with a dirty face

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

What you've been getting
Isn't always what you see
Love has many faces now

But in your dreams of dreams
You do believe in holding on
You got to let it go

I had enough, I stepped back
There's only so much that, a man like me can take
This heart of mine, is a fragile thing
Once it's in pieces there's nothing to break

Now she's crying, she's srying over me
She still can't get it thru her beautiful head
That pretty smile may fool somebody else
I'll tell you baby, all I see is red

I'm givin' you a heartbreak warning, oh-oh oh-oh oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak warning, oh-woah oh-oh oh
Yeah, now I don't want to run this race
Heartbreak warning, oh-oh oh-oh oh
She's an angel with a dirty face

Now she'll be gone in the morning, oh-oh oh-oh oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak warning, oh-woah oh-oh oh
She'll be leaving you without a trace
Heartbreak warning, oh-oh oh-oh oh
She's an angel with a dirty face, angel with a dirty face

Heartbreak (heartbreak)
Oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh-ooh oh-ooh woah-oh
Heartbreak (heartbreak)
Oh-oh oh-oh oh, leaving you without a trace
Heartbreak (heartbreak)
Oh-oh oh-oh oh, she's an angel with a dirty face, angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak (heartbreak)
(Oh-oh oh-oh oh) yeah-eah yeah
(Heartbreak) heartbreak
(Heartbreak) heartbreak
(Oh-oh oh-oh oh) (heartbreak) woah-oh oh-oh ooh
Heartbreak (heartbreak) oh-oh oh-oh oh

2. "Just Between You And Me"
(H. Knight / L. Gramm)

Staring at eachother with accusing eyes
Keep our voices low, and don't act surprised
If the word gets out, yeah, that's alright

I know you're just looking for some sympathy
But listen you don't know, how it gets back to me
You're getting reckless girl, but that's alright

Now don't you know that one cold world
Is going to lead to another?
And then we'll get nowhere to go

Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
We'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can see
It's just between you and me, you and me

I see telltale signs of a love in decline
There should be something to say, but we don't take the time
And I don't understand, but that's alright

Now you can turn the page or you can tear me apart
Don't make an open book, out of my private heart
You should know better now, that's alright

Don't you know that one cold world
Is going to lead to another?
And then we'll get nowhere to go

Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
We'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can see
It's just between you and me

I said, it's just between you and me

If we don't work this out, we won't recover
We'll lose this soulful love for one another
But with all I've heard and all I've seen
I'm still lost in your mystery

Forgive me staring at eachother with accusing eyes
Keep our voices low, don't act surprised
If the word gets out, yeah, that's alright

And don't you know that one cold world
Is going to lead to another?
And then we'll get nowhere to go

Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
We'll be all alone in a different light
Now I don't care what the world can see
It's just between you and me

Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
We'll be all alone in a different light
Now I don't care what the world can see
But it's just between you and me

It's just between you and me, you and me

Heaven and earth
I don't understand

Ooh-ooh oooh
You're reckless girl

All alone
One cold
Cold
Would lead to another
Heaven and earth
All alone
All alone

Heaven and earth
Ooh-ooh oooh

3. "Broken Dreams"
(P. Wolf / L. Gramm / I. Wolf)

Still no news from you
And I walk through the night alone
Stay away from home

I watch the midnight sky
And wonder why is the moon so cruel?
Shining on this fool

I've let heaven walk away
I need to feel you in my arms again
I was king for just one day
That's long enough to know
I can't let go

Now I climb this mountain high
It won't stop my heart from burning
Dreams for sale
Tears and rivers running dry
It won't keep the world from turning
Oh-oh-oh, broken dreams for sale

I still can feel the heat
Running through me with the speed of light
I need you here tonight

Memories come and go
Let me love you just once again
I didn't know better then

There's a corner in your heart
A hideaway not even I can see
I grow weaker in the dark
Strong enough to know
I can't let go

Now I climb this mountain high
It won't stop my heart from burning
Dreams for sale
Tears and rivers running dry
It won't keep the world from turning
Oh-oh-oh, broken dreams for sale

Tears and rivers running dry
But it won't keep the world from turning
Oh-oh-oh, broken dreams for sale

There's a corner in your heart
A hideaway not even I can see
And I grow weaker in the dark
I'm strong enough to know
I can't let go

Now I climb this mountain high
But it won't stop my heart from burning
I got dreams for sale
Tears and rivers running dry
But it won't keep the world from turning
Oh-oh-oh, broken dreams for sale

Now I climb this mountain high
But it won't stop my heart from burning
Dreams for sale
Tears and rivers, tears and rivers running dry
It won't keep the world from turning
Oh-oh-oh, broken dreams for sale

Now I climb this mountain high

Dreams for sale

Tears and rivers running dry

Oh-oh-oh, broken dreams

Now I climb this mountain high

Dreams for sale

Tears and rivers running dry

4. "True Blue Love"
(L. Gramm / P. Wolf)

Ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Had enough of my yesterdays
Can't go back to mistakes that I've made
Had enough of my dark side
And the hard ride we've been through

And now I know, I've got so much to prove
So don't let go, I've been a heart-selfish fool
It's a feeling I'm rising above

And I'll give you love, ooh-ooh-oooh
(True love) ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh
(True blue love) ooh-ooh-oooh
(Give you true blue love) ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

And I know into one heart that shattered
Tenderness is the only thing that matters
Don't turn away from true blue love

Running hard in an empty race
Just take a look at the lines on this face
In my eyes you can measure the miles
But no one can measure desire

So take my hand, can you feel how it burns?
Don't let go till your heart finally learns
Why this wandering soul has returned

To give you love, ooh-ooh-oooh
(True love) ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh
(True blue love) ooh-ooh-oooh
(Give you true blue love) ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

And I know into one heart that shattered
Tenderness is the only thing that matters
Don't turn away from true blue (love) ooh-ooh-oooh

And I know into one soul that's healing
Loneliness is the only thing you're feeling
Don't turn away from true blue love

Oh-ooh woah-oh-ooh
Woah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh

Ooh-ooh woah-oh-ooh
Woah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh

I'll give you love, ooh-ooh-oooh
(True love) ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh
(True blue love) ooh-ooh-oooh
(Give you true blue love) ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

And I know into one heart that shattered
Tenderness is the only thing that matters
Don't turn away from true blue (love) ooh-ooh-oooh

Now I know into one soul that's healing
Loneliness is the only thing you're feeling
(Don't turn away) (ooh-ooh-oooh) away from true blue (love) ooh-ooh-oooh

Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh ooh

Into one heart that shattered
Tenderness is the only thing that matters
Don't turn away from true blue (love) ooh-ooh-oooh

Woah oh-oh oh-oh oh, no more loneliness
Oooh, just some tenderness
Don't turn away, true blue (love) ooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-oooh, give you tenderness, no more loneliness
Oh baby, woah-oh oh-oh oh, give you true blue (love) ooh-ooh-oooh
Oh yeah, give you tenderness
Don't turn away
Don't turn away, true blue (love) ooh-ooh-oooh
Woah-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh, no more loneliness

5. "I'll Come Running"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)

All alone in a sleepless night
Hearing voices in the dark
I can feel every move you make
The beating of your heart

Anything that you want from me
Anywhere that you are, I will be
Any time that you call out my name
I will know, I will know, I will know

If you need me, I'll come running
If you want me, I'll come running now
If you love me, I will run, run, run, run, run, run, right away

I'll reach out and end the storm
That tears your world apart
I'll reach in and break the chain
Of pain around your heart

Now I know how it feels to be lost and found
Won't let nobody, nothing tear you down
When you think of me, I'll be around
Be around, be around, be around

If you need me, I'll come running
If you want me, I'll come running now
If you love me, I will run, run, run, run, run, run, right away

If you need me, I'll come running
If you want me, I'll come running now
If you love me, I will run, run, run, run, run, right away, yeah

Out of mind, out of sight
Like a shadow in the night
I'll come running, right away, yeah

I'll come running babe
I'll come running, right away, yeah
Yeah-eah yeah-eah yeah...

Kingdoms rise, kingdoms fall
Our love will conquer all
Either way now, right or wrong
Love goes on, love goes on, love goes on...

If you need me, now, I'll come running (I'll come running now)
If you want me, I am running now (I come running now)
If you love me, I will run, run, run, run, run, run, right away

And if you need me (if you need me) I'll come running (I'll come running now)
If you want me (if you want me) I am running now (I come running now)
If you love me (if you love me) I will run (I will run) run, run, run, run, run, right away

(If you need me) if you need me, (I'll come running now)
(If you want me) if you want me, (I'll come running now)
(If you need me) if you need me, there I'll get, oh-ooh babe

(If you need me), if you need me, if you need me
(If you want me), if you love me, if you need me
If you love me

6. "Hangin' On My Hip"
(B. Turgon / L. Gramm

Ah-ooh, wooh

I take, big dreams, to extremes
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
Now I'm the, the live wire, and I'll take you higher
Don't tell me what to do or say

Not today, tomorrow
The pain and the sorrow
I'm living with it day to day
Don't even think about it now
It doesn't matter anyhow
You know I'm gonna do it anyway

Hey, I got it hangin' on my hip
I got it hangin' on my hip
I'll make you believe
My heart ain't pinned to my sleeve
Hangin' on my hip

You better, face facts, no turning back
You won't find me waiting in the wings
I'll take a, a heavy hand, to a, a better plan
And I'll be right here when the bell rings

I said today, tomorrow
The pain and the sorrow
You know that it's sad but true
Well, if they had a heart
I'd be tearing it apart
Ya see I can put together two and two

Hey, I got it hangin' on my hip
D'you wanna see it?
It's hangin' on my hip
Hangin' on my hip
I got it hangin' on my hip

Ooh-ooh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Oh-ooh, yeah-eah

Hangin' on my hip
Oh-oooh, oh-ooh

I got it hangin' on my hip
D'you wanna see it?
It's hangin' on my hip, look it
I got it hangin' on my hip
Hangin' on my hip

Ah-ooh, wooh-ooh

I got it hangin' on my hip
I got it hangin' on my hip
I said it's hangin' on my hip
And you can touch it now, wooh, ah-ooh

Hangin' on my hip, woah-oh oh-ooh oh-ooh oh-oooh
Hangin' on my hip, yeah-eah yeah-eah yeah-eah yeah-eah yeah yeah
C'mon darling now, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, yeah-eah yeah
Hangin' on my hip

7. "Warmest Rising Sun"
(L. Gramm)

The way she moves alone
So late at night, this woman knows
Well, she's a mystery
And she's mine tonight, that's all I want to know

Now what would I do without her?
And who would I be alone?
You see I love everything about her
And I'd never ever let her go, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-oooh

The wind blows cold tonight, ooh-ooh
And I'm counting stars, one by one
Holding her so close tonight, ooh-ooh
And I know she'll always be my warmest rising sun

And now I'm searching out
Her secret dreams, mmm-mmm mmm-mmm
And I wonder if she knows
What her love means?

Now what would I do without her?
Tell me who would I be alone?...
You see I love everything about her
And I'd never ever let her go..., ooh-ooh-oooh

The wind blows cold tonight, ooh-ooh
And I'm counting stars, one by one
Holding her so close tonight, ooh-ooh
She is my warmest rising sun (warmest rising sun)

The wind blows cold tonight, ooh-ooh
And I'm counting stars, (one by one) one by one
Holding her so close tonight, ooh-ooh
And I know she'll always be my warmest rising sun

And now I'd never ever let her go, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-oooh

The wind blows cold tonight, ooh-ooh...
And I'm counting stars, (one by one) one by one
Holding her so close tonight, ooh-ooh
She is the warmest rising sun (warmest rising sun)

Now the wind blows cold tonight, ooh-ooh
And we'll count stars, (one by one) one by one
Oh-ooh holding her so close tonight, (ooh-ooh)
I know she'll always be my warmest rising sun

Warmest rising sun
Warmest rising sun
Yeah
Warmest rising sun
Warmest rising sun
Warmest rising sun
Warmest rising sun

8. "Day One"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon / P. Wolf)

Hang on alone without you
Hang on enough to do what must be done
One bridge to cross and one to burn
I'll tell you, I won't hide and I won't run

This is day one, day one

I hear the drums on the battlefield
Calling up my courage and my pride
I can't explain the way I feel
But my heart of hearts won't be denied

Even in the darkest hours
I know my time will come
This is day one, day one, day one
Day one, day one

You don't know about me
I'll give you a look inside my heart
Don't walk away without me
'Cause you know I've loved you from the start

Even in the darkest hour
I know our time will come
This is day one, day one, day one
This is day one, day one

I had to watch from the shadows
While the light of your star filled the skies
It's what I live for
It's what I fight for
Girl, I've loved you so
From day one

Day one, day one
Day one, (day one)
I won't hide and I won't run
Day one, (day one)
This is day one
Day one, (day one)
This is day one
Day one, day one
Day one, day one

9. "I'll Know When It's Over"
(B. Turgon / L. Gramm)

I hear love knockin'
But I must send it away
Lost but not forgotten
It just seems harder to take

But I know, what people say
They tell me I must go it alone
If I lose you, along the way
Will time heal the pain?

Only I know, when it's over, only I know
I know, when it's over, only I know

I feel a heart breakin'
But I won't stand in your way
This love is lost, but not forsaken
We turn our backs and just walk away

Now I know, what people see
They tell me I must go it alone
It's over you, but it's up to me
Will time ever heal the pain?

Only I know, when it's over, only I know
I know, when it's over, only I know

And I know, when it's over, only I know
I'll know, when it's over, only I'll know

Now I know what people see
They tell me I must go it alone
It's over you, but it's up to me
Will time ever heal the pain?

I know, I know, I know, I know, when it's over, only I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, when it's over, only I know
(I know) I know, whoah-ooh oh-ooh my dear, when it's over, only I know
(I know) I know, I feel a heartbreakin', when it's over, only I know
Over, oh-ooh oh-ooh, I know, I know, I know, when it's over, I know
Over, over, I know, I know, I hear love knockin', over, I know, I know, over, I know
(I know) I know, I know, I know, when it's over, I know

10. "Tin Soldier"
(S. Marriott / R. Lane)

C'mon

I, am a little tin soldier
That wants to jump into your fight
You, have a look in your eye
A dream passing by in the sky

No I don't understand
And all I need, is treat me like a man
'Cause I ain't no child
You take me by my hand

I've got to know that I belong to you
Do anything that you want me to
And sing any song that you want me to
Sing to you

Hey

I don't need no, complication
And I've just got to make you
I've got to, I've got to, make you listen
I've just got to make you

(In this confrontation) I've got to know that I belong to you
(Do anything) do anything that you want me to
(Sing my song) sing any song that you want me to
Sing to you

All I need, is your whispered hello
Smiles melting the snows of the hurt
Your eyes, are deeper than time
Say a love that won't last without words

So now I've lost my way
I need you, to show me things to say
So give me your love
Before mine fades away, now baby

I've got to know that I belong to you
And do anything that you want me to
Sing any song that you want me to
Sing to you

Oh-ooh yeah
Oh-ooh yeah
Hey baby

I just want some reaction
Someone to give me satisfaction
All I want to do, is prove to you
That I love you
