The Lives of Me
Lyrics
PETER:
Everywhere I go
I'm followed by a lot of people
Such a lot of people
It's almost a parade
And if you could see all the people
They're everyone I ever was
And everyone I ever will be
all the lives of me
Nothin' left to hide
I come in many colors
Assorted shapes and sizes
Can adapt to your demands
And if you smile at someone
Then I'll just become that one
And throw in all the others for free
All the lives of me
Faults arn't things for hiding on a shelf
And if you like who I am now
That's only a reflection of yourself
All the games are gone
We face each other naked
Stripped of all disguises
Love is being made
And if I make you feel good
After knowin all you know is really
Only all that you see
All the lives of me
And if you see all the people
They're everyone I ever was
And everyone I ever will be
All the lives of me
All the lives of me

When I Get My Name in Lights
Lyrics
YOUNG PETER:
I'll dance I'll sing I'll do anything
Just to get my name in lights
I've got to try to hit the heights
Now that I'm free as the breeze again
Old nimble knees again
And soon they'll all know my name
I'll have fortune and fame
When I get my name in lights
It can happen overnight in these modern times
So hold that front page
This boy was born to strut the stage
I tap and sing and play the pianuh
Splash my name across a big bright bannuh
And that's why
I won't let go til I'm on the radio
And when they come to see the sights
That will be my name spelt right
Lighting up Times Square
I'll sit on a flag pole
Whatever's the rage
Just to get my picture on the front page
Just to get my name in lights
ALL:
So hold the front page
This boy was born to strut the stage
YOUNG PETER:
I tap and sing and play piannuh
ALL:
Splash his (my) name
'Cross a big bright bannah

Love Crazy
Lyrics
CHRIS
Listen to the music in your voice
PETER
You can hear the music everywhere
Chris
Catch the melody above the noise
PETER
You can feel it pulsing through the air
BOTH
The whole world is buzzin'
And the light from the sun
Combined with ev'rything
All makes me
Love crazy
Livin' is a crazy thing
Love crazy
Energy is ev'rything
PETER
Listen to the music in the water
Don't you see it swim before your eyes
CHRIS
Try to fill it up and full of wonder
How the sun can set and the moon can rise
BOTH
The whole world is buzzin'
And the light from the stars
Combined with ev'rything
All makes me
Love crazy
Livin' is a crazy thing
Love crazy
Energy is ev'rything (repeat)
ALL
Don't cha know the whole world is buzzin'
And the light from the sun
Combined with ev'rything
All makes me
Love crazy
Livin' is a crazy thing
Love crazy
Energy is ev'rything (repeat)

All I Wanted Was the Dream
Lyrics
All I wanted was the dream
Just like anybody else
I didn't want it pushed aside
Forgotten on a shelf
I wanted laughs and lots of lovers
And limitless wealth
I just want to say you're better
Than anybody else
All I wanted was the time
To obliterate my past
I didn't know that time can come and go
So terribly fast
It's hard to lose it
When you had it right here
In your grasp
But then you wake up and it seems
The dream that you dream
Was just too good to last
5.
Only an Older Woman
Lyrics
JUDY
You need an older woman to teach you
One who is barely reaching her prime
Who thinks you're fun
Not someone to preach to
What do you say - let's have a good time
'Cause with an older woman
Nothing you do is a crime
(spoken:) You have the makings of a monster, kid. I like that.
PETER (spoken)
I 'm not sure what you mean?
JUDY (spoken)
Hang around. You'll learn. You really want to come to New York?
PETER (spoken)
It's all I've ever wanted.
JUDY (spoken)
Then you're in big trouble.
PETER
I'm waiting-
I need an older woman beside me
I need a mentor
JUDY
I need a drink
PETER
I want an older woman to guide me
CHRIS
Where are we headed?
MARK
Where do you think?
JUDY
Over the goddamn rainbow
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Right down the yellow brick road
PETER
And whadda-ya-know, I've found my ideal woman
ALL
Only one who's been 'round the block
Can give you the ride you need
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Always there absorbing the shock
JUDY
One built for comfort
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Not for speed
ALL
Stir up a flame from out of the embers
I sense a fire starting in you
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
What do ya say to making some mem'ries
JUDY
Out of the old
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Comes something that's new
Maybe an older woman
Is going to help us break through
JUDY
As for me, I just can't wait to see her
PETER, CHRIS & MARK
Honestly, we were hoping you might be her
ALL
Eventually - when you get to be an older woman
JUDY
Like me

Best That You Can Do
Lyrics
Once in your life you find her
Someone thatt turns you heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left you went cross town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"
When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
Best that you can do ......
Best that you can do is fall in love
Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, he's mastered choice
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
Showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
Best that you can do .....
Best that you can do .....
Best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
Best that you can do .....
Best that you can do .....
Best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do .....
Best that you can do .....
Best that you can do is fall in love

Don't Wish Too Hard
Lyrics
Don't wish too hard for what you want
Or then you might get it
And then when you get it
You might wish you never got it all
Don't keep(go) looking for love to come
Or then it might find you
And then when it finds you
You might wish that you had never been born
How I wished for you and now you're here
Now I wish that I could disappear and go away
My poor heart's repeating it
Can't stand the beating it's been taking
I can't tell if you're faking
Every time you're making love to me
One day soon I'm going to change
My tune and without hesitating
I'll be leaving you waiting
And you'll find that what you really wanted
And what you end up getting you never really
Wanted at all
Then you'll wish for me and I won't be here
So long darlin' I'll just disappear and go away

Come Save Me
Lyrics
Come save me
I'm fading fast
Why can't we be together
And maybe I just won't last
If I'm not with you forever
Now I'm touching the stars
And up here on mars
I can rarely breathe
Friends, that's why I smile
'Cause all the while
I've got you up my sleeve
Come take me, I'm ready for
All that I've never tasted
Come wake me, let's make up for
All of the good time we've wasted
Now my heart is at stake
My poor heart could break
I might die if you leave
Friends, ask why I cry
I don't know why
I don't really believe
You'll save me
Come save me
Now I'm touching the stars
And up here on mars
I can rarely breathe
Friends, ask why I smile
'Cause all the while
I've got you up my sleeve
Come save me
Save me, save me, save me
Come save me now

Continental American
Lyrics
Once there was a time
When this town was so high
We could never come down
When rules did not apply
We would drink fountains dry
In a club filled with sound
And bands would play to please me
You found a partner easy
The name game was the only game in town
Nights would end at 6 A.M.
Sleep all day
And then start dancing again
The first to see the end
We did the Continental American
All our clothes from France
Soul Train taught us to dance
We had smoke in our eyes
Friends were lost and found
We were Paradise bound
Some got lost, nobody cried
Others took their places
Always strange new faces
Always one more chance to go around
Nights would end at 6 A.M.
Sleep all day
And then start dancing again
The first to see the end
We did the Continental American
Now we're staying in
Let the new dance begin
But those kids look(seem) so young
All dressed up in our clothes
But what none of them knows
Is we really had fun!
When bands would play to please us(me)
You found a partner easy
Scott and Zelda should have seen us then
When nights would end at 6 A.M.
Sleep all day
And then start dancing again
The first to see the end
Manhattan pioneers
We did the Continental American

She Loves to Hear the Music
Lyrics
I’ve been listening quietly
Just waiting for my turn
When it comes to music
There aint nothing I can learn
Cuz everything I live and breathe
Is written on an album sleeve
I can tell you who is hot
Who will make it
And who will not
Cuz I love to hear the music
I've got every lyric down
I love to hear them say I’ve got
The greatest ears in town
There at every studio
There aint a pop star I don’t know
And sometimes they take me home
But I always wake up alone
Men that want to marry me they never satisfy
The inner rhythms that I hear are all that keep me high
So they turn around and go
And leave me by my radio
I didn’t love them anyway no tlike the way I love the man who play
I love to hear the music
I've got every lyric down
I love to hear them say I’ve got
The greatest ears in town
I’m there at every studio
The first to come the last to go
Sometimes they take me home
But I always wake up alone, alone, alone, alone!!!
That’s Me
Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me hear the music
Yeah!
I love to hear the music
I've got every lyric down
I love to hear them say I’ve got
The greatest ears in town
I love to hear it
I love to hear the music
The music oh I love it!
Oh I love it!

Quiet Please, There's a Lady on Stage
Lyrics
Quiet please, there's a lady on stage.
She may not be the latest rage,
But she's singing, and she means it.
And she deserves a little silence.
Quiet please, there's a woman up there,
And she's been honest through her songs
Long before your consciousness was raised.
Now doesn't that deserve a little praise.
So put your hands together, help her along,
All that's left of the singers, all that's left of the song.
Stand for the ovation,
And give her one last celebration.
Quiet please, there's a person up there,
Who's singing of the sins that none of us could bear
To hear for ourselves,
Now give her your respect if nothing else.
So put your hands together, help her along,
All that's left of the singers, all that's left of the song.
Rise to the occasion,
And give her one last celebration.
Quiet please, there's a lady on stage.
Conductor, turn the final page.
When it's over, we can all go home.
She lives on on the stage alone.
So put your hands together, help her along,
All that's left of the singers, all that's left of the song.
Stand for the ovation,
And give her one last celebration.
Put your hands together, help her along,
Let's just stay here all night; let's sing every song.
Won't you rise, rise to the occasion,
Yes, give her, one last, just one last celebration.
(repeat and fade)

I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love
Lyrics
I'd rather leave while I'm in love
While I still believe the meaning of the word
I'll keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I were never gonna(meant to) end
Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine
Somebody's heart gets broken
Usually it's mine
I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I can't say goodbye
So if you wake and find me gone
Hey babe, just carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love
I'd rather leave while I'm in love
13.
Not the Boy Next Door
Lyrics
Comin' home used to feel(my way is still) so good
I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood
I've seen the world at a faster pace
And I'm comin' now from a diff'rent place
Though I may look the same way to you
Underneath there is somebody new
I am not the boy next door
I don't belong like I did before
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
I can't go back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door
You've been savin' (all) those souvenirs,
Faded photographs from my(our) foolish years
We made plans, but they're wearin' thin
And they won't work out 'cause I don't(won't) fit in
And those mem'ries will just weigh me down
'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown
I am not the boy next door
I don't belong like I did before
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
I can't go back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door
And I'm sorry for just bein' me
But if you'd look past the past you could see
That

Bi-Coastal
Lyrics
You used to live in New York City
Then you moved to L.A.
But you still miss the streets
Where you used to play
So you hurry on back there
(Even) Leave your pool and your car
Only to find you no longer belong
Fool don't you know what you are
Hit the streets at midnight
Still dancing after dawn
But something seems to be missing
Just what are you running from
Do you like your love in the dark
Or laid out in the sun
When you just can't make up your mind
Don't you know what you've become
Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city
Bi-coastal, California's fine if you're pretty
Bi-coastal, when both are so much fun
Why do you have to pick one
You can always hear me singing
Oh say can you see
From the towers of Manhattan
To the hills of Beverly
All those girls in TV movies
All those boys on Broadway
When you can't make up your mind
You know you'd go either way
Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city
Bi-coastal, California's fine if you're pretty
Bi-coastal, when both are so much fun
Why do you have to pick one

If You Were Wondering
Lyrics
(Peter)
If you were wondering
Who I am
I am a man
Just like any other man
(Greg)
Unlike any other man
(Peter)
If you were wondering
Who I was
I was a boy
(Greg)
[spoken]Let me guess?
[sung]Just like any other boy
Starting out on some great mystery
(Peter)
On the road
When I had no choice
I waited out a century
I took a load
Until I ofund my voice
There's nothing wrong with being me
If you were wondering
Who I love
I love you
Caus that's all I hace to do
I'm a man
Just like any other man
Unlike any other man
(Both)
Caus I'm a man
Just like any other man
Unlike any other man

Everything Old Is New Again
Lyrics
When trumpets were mellow
And ev'ry gal only had one fellow
No need to remember when
'Cause ev'ry thing old is new again
(Dancin' at) Your Long Island Jazz Age parties
Waiter, bring us more Bacardis
We'll order now what they ordered then
'Cause ev'ry thing old is new again
Get out your white suit, your tap shoes and tails
Let's go backwards when all else(forward) fails
And movie stars you thought were long dead
Now are framed beside your bed
Don't throw the past away
You might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When ev'ry thing old is new again
Get out your white suit, your tap shoes and tails
Put it in backward when forward fails
But leave Greta Garbo alone
Be a movie star on your own
And don't throw the past away
You might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When ev'ry thing old is new again
I might fall in love with you again
17.
Love Don't Need a Reason
Lyrics
If your heart always did
What a normal heart should do
If you always play a part
Instead of being who you really are
Then(And) you might just miss
The one who's standing there
So instead of passing by
Show him(the someone) that you care
Instead asking why
Why me? And why you?
Why not we two?
'Cause love don't need a reason
Love don't always rhyme
And love is all we have for now
What we don't have is time
If we always believe
All the madness that we're taught
Never questioning the rules
Then we(you)'re living lies we(you) bought so long ago
How are they to know?
It's not who's wrong or right
It's just another way
And I don't wanna fight(It's not about a fight)
But know I'm gonna(It's just I wanna) stay with you till the end
With you my friend
'Cause love don't need a reason
Love don't always rhyme
And love is all we have for now
What we don't have is time
I'll hold you close
Time can't(won't) tear us apart
Forever, I will stand by you
We've(It's) got to start with the beat of one heart
Together, we will(can) see this through
'Cause love don't need a reason
Love's never a crime
And love is all we have for now
What we don't have
What we don't have is time

I Honestly Love You
Lyrics
Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I've got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
And I believe you really ought to know
I love you
I honestly love you
I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along every day
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say
I love you
I honestly love you
I honestly love you
If we both were born
In another place and time
This moment might be ending with a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this
I love you
I love you
I honestly love you
19.
You and Me
Lyrics
You and me
We wanted it all
We wanted it all
Passion without pain
Sunshine without rainy days
We wanted it all ways
You and me
We reached for the sky
The limit was high
Never giving in
Certain we would(could) win that prize
I should have seen it in your eyes
Look how all our dreams came true
See how I've got me
And baby(See how) you've got you
And thru it all(And after all)
Just one thing died
A little thing called love
A feeling deep inside(We used to feel inside)
You and me
We're not like the rest
We once were the best
(And) Back when we were dumb
When(How) did we become so smart
And learn(We learned) to break each other's hearts
Look how all our dreams came true
See how I've got me
And baby(See how) you've got you
And thru it all(And after all)
Just one thing died
A little thing called love
A feeling deep inside(We used to feel inside)
You and me
We're not like the rest
We once were the best
(And) Back when we were dumb
When(How) did we become so smart
Cause we almost made it
You and me
We're not like the rest
We once were the best
Look what we became
Isn't it a cryin' shame
That we almost made it
But we wanted it all
You and me
We wanted it all

I Still Call Australia Home
Lyrics
I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home
I'm always travelin'
And I love bein' free
So I keep leavin' the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home
All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their families and friends
Ah, but as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends
And someday we'll all be together once more
When all the ships come back to the shore
Then I realize something I've always known
I still call Australia home
No matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home
21.
Don't Cry Out Loud
Lyrics
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'Cause she didn't like(want) parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile and took up some clown
And she danced without a net up on the wire
I know a lot about her 'cause you see
Baby is an awful lot like me
We don't cry out loud
We keep it inside
We've learned how to hide our feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
Baby saw that when they pulled the big top down
They'd left behind her dreams among the litter
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found
(It) Was nothing more than sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had(has) the finest teacher, me, I taught her
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
Learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
22.
Once Before I Go
Lyrics
Once before I go
I want you to know
That I would do it all again
I'm sure I'd make the same mistakes
But I could make it through
The pains and joys and aches
I knew back then
I'd do it all
I'd do it all again
Before I go
I want you to know
That I look back with no regrets
And when our luck was wearing thin
And we were down and out
And still came back to win against all bets
Now when I look back
I still have no regrets
And it's so hard to say good-byes
When there's so much that's left
Unspoken in your eyes
But unless I spread my wings again
I'm afraid I'll never soar
So hang on to the memories
And hold me close once more
Once more
Just once before I go
I want you to know
That I have loved you all along
And even when we're far apart
I only need to feel you're living in my heart
And I'll be strong
Love you just the way
I've loved you all along
And it's so hard to say good-byes
When there's so much that's left
Unspoken in your eyes
But unless I spread my wings again
I'm afraid I'll never soar
So kiss me for the last time
And hold me close once more
Once more
Just once before I go
I want you to know
That I have loved you all along
And even when we're far apart
I only need to feel you're living in my heart
And I'll be strong
You are the light that shines on me
You always were and you'll always be
So I had to let you know
Just this once
Just this once
Before I go
23.
Finale: I Go to Rio
Lyrics
When my baby
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio
De Janeiro, my-oh-me-oh
I go wild and then I have to do the Samba
And La Bamba
Now I'm not the kind of person
With a passionate persuasion for dancin'
Or roma-ancin'
But I give in to the rhythm
And my feet follow the beatin' of my hear-eart
Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my baby
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio
De Janeiro
I'm a Salsa fellow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun'll lightens up my li-ife
And I am free at last, what a blast
Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my baby
When my baby smiles at me
I feel like Tarzan, of the Jungle
There on the hot sand
And in a bungalow while monkeys play above-a,
We-ee make love-a
Now I'm not the type to let vibrations (Rio...)
Trigger my imagination easily (Rio...)
You know that's just not me
But I turn into a tiger (Rio...)
Everytime I get beside the - one I love (Rio...)
Woh, oh, woh, woh-oh..., Rio... - Rio...
Yeah Ugh - Rio... - Ugh
Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my ba-a-aby (when my baby)
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio...)
De Janeiro
I'm a Salsa fellow-ow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun'll lightens u-up my li-ife
And I am free at last, what a blast
When my baby (when my baby)
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio...)
That's when I go to Rio (Rio)
Rio - Rio De Janeir-eiro
Rio...., Rio...., Rio....

Tenterfield Saddler
Lyrics
(Peter)
The Late George Woolnough worked on High Street
And lived on manners
Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles
And if you had questions bout sheep or flowers or dogs
You'd just ask the saddler, he lived without sin
They're building a library for him
Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Ride again Jackeroo
Think I see Kangaroo up ahead
The son of George Woolnough went off and got married
And had a war baby
Though something went wrong and it's easier to drink than go crazy
And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
Well, George had no answers about why a son
Ever had need of a gun
Time is a traveller
Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
Ride again Jackaroo
Think I see Kangaroo up ahead
The grandson of George has been all around the world
And lives no special place
Changed his last name and he married a girl with an interesting face
He'd almost forgotten them both because in the life that he leads
There's no where for George and his library or the son with his gun
To belong except in this song
Time is a meddler
Tenterfield saddler make your bed
Fly again Cockatoo
Down on the ground Emu up ahead
Time is a tale-teller
Tenterfield Saddler make your bed
Fly again Cockatoo
Think I see Kangaroo up ahead
Time is a traveller
Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
Ride again Jackaroo
Think I see Kangaroo up ahead.
