Thank you
Thank you
Somebody ah, somebody’s delivered a gift
Champagne
Ah, this I presume must be for you
What is it?
Oh! Ah, ah, you better, you better…
I don’t really know how to drink this stuff, anyway
(Behave yourself, right now)
You know, I think we’re going to have to leave this till later
Sorry about that, um
Does anyone here like this stuff, anyway?
You like it! Listen it’s bad for you

We’ll see you in the fall
Until then, A Day Without Me

Starting a landslide
In my ego
Look from the outside
To a world I left behind

When I’m dreaming
You’re awake
If I was sleeping
What’s at stake?
A day without me, oh

Whatever the feeling
I keep feeling
What are the feelings
You’ve left behind

A day without me, oh
Feel it

Started a landslide
In my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind
In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes, then let go
In a world I left behind
Shed a tear, and they go home
Ya-home-oh

La-la, bo-bo-bo
Yo-ho
Bo-bo-bo
Ya-ah-oh
Bo-bo-bo-bo

11 O’clock Tick Tock (Encore) (Live from San Francisco, May 15, 1981) (4:47)

Good evening
11 O’clock tick tock

But it's cold outside
And it gets so hot in here
And the boys and girls collide
To the music in my ear

I hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
But I hear the children crying
Take me home…ah

A painted face
And I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong

I hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
But I hear the children crying
Take me home

Same song, sad song
Same song, sad song
Two-three-four

La-la-la…

Same song, sad song, feel it
Same song, sad song
Two-three-four

Donnie and Marie, yeah

Feel it

Up, up, join hands, join hands
Up, up, up
Wanna see up, up
This is an old cliche put your hands in the air
Stick it up, feel it
Up, thank you
La-la-la…
La-la-la-la
Ah, ah, feel it, ah, ah

Thank you

Shh
Picture in grey
Dorian Gray
Just me, by the sea

And I felt like a star
Felt the world could go far
If they listened
To what I said

Washes my feet, oh-oh
Splashes the sole of my shoes
Ah-ah
It’s only sacrifice, tonight
Tonight
Maybe in light
Shh
