Where are the young Turks, with the wild blood?
Yeah we were gonna change the world.
Where are the young blades, with all the answers yeah?
We were young, we were gonna change the world,
We were gonna change the world.
The class of Seventy-five, it was the time of your life,
Seventy-five it was a good year for the time.
Where did it go? Was it so long ago?
The class of Seventy-five, we all, we all got old.
Where are the young gods, who walked on water?
Yeah we were gonna change the world.
Where are the heroes, long forgotten yeah?
We were young, we were gonna change the world,
We were gonna change the world.
The class of Seventy-five, it was the time of your life,

Those analogue days, funny clothes we used to wear;
The class of Seventy-five, we all, we all got old.
So where are all the heroes? Where are all the heroes?
So where are all the heroes?
Hey you with the junked-up eyes – you just want a little time;
Yeah you just want to stay alive.

The class of Seventy-five, it was the time of your life,
Seventy-five it was a good year for the time.
But where did it go? Was it so long ago?
The class of Seventy-five, we all, we all got old.
The class of Seventy-five, it was the time of your life,
Seventy-five it was a good year for the time.
Those analogue days, funny clothes we used to wear;
The class of Seventy-five...

AUTOMATIC
I’m just an ordinary guy, with an ordinary face,
In an ordinary town, full of ordinary people.
And I’ve got an ordinary job, with an ordinary firm,
We make ordinary things, for the ordinary world.
Through nine to five it’s such an endless bore,
It doesn’t matter to me,
There’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
And we’ve got ordinary kids, they catch an ordinary bus,
To their ordinary school, full of ordinary teachers.
And in that ordinary bus, they pass an ordinary church,
Full of ordinary prayer, full of ordinary preachers.
With you around I’m never in the shade,
You’re always shining on me,
There’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
It’s automatically you, it’s automatic it’s sunshine
It’s automatically, it’s automatically you
Oh, there’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
Yeah, there’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by...

Guardian Angel
Who’s watching over you, when I’m gone?
Who’s looking out for you?
Is your guardian angel watching over you?
Who’s taking care of you, when I’m gone?
Who’s smiling over you?
Is your guardian angel walking by your side?
So leave a light in your window,
Let me know you’re alright, let me know.
I’ll be your guardian angel,
You’ll always have a friend along the way.
I’ll be your guardian angel,
I’ll be there when a danger comes your way,
Watching over you day after day,
I’ll be your guardian angel.
Who keeps you safe at night when I’m gone?
Who’s there to make it right?
Is your guardian angel watching over you?
So leave a light in your window,
Let me know you’re alright, let me know,
I’ll be your guardian angel.
You’ll always have a friend along the way.
I’ll be your guardian angel,

My Love's Requiem

My Love’s Requiem
I’m talking to the trees
Telling them that I’m still here
Shooting out the breeze
Telling them that I’ll be here
When you need a friend
I will be here at the bitter end
So what kind of sentimental fool am I?
Without you here it’s a fact I’m history
A casualty of love one more tragedy
Oh what a day for my love’s requiem
And I don’t know what to say
At my love’s requiem
Talking in my sleep
Wake up to an empty bed
Talking in my dreams
I remember what I said –
You were standing there –
Dressed in white – you were standing there
I called your name – we were lovers then
So what kind of sentimental fool am I?
Without you here it’s a fact I’m history
A casualty of love one more tragedy
Somewhere along the way love was crucified
My hanging heart’s up for sale
It don’t feel much
All it needs is a little love a tender touch
Oh what a day for my love’s requiem
I don’t know what to say at my love’s requiem
I’m talking to the trees
Telling them that I’m still here
Shooting out the breeze
Telling them that I’ll be here
When you need a friend
I will be here at the bitter end

You’re My Soul
Oh yeah I, I was running on empty
Oh yeah I, I was running on air
But then you, yeah you caught me unguarded
That love kept coming
That love kept growing
That good love made a man out of stone
Cause I need to be with you
Cause you are my soul, my religion
You’re my heart’s inspiration
You’re my hope, my desire
You’re my sun, can’t get higher
Just one touch is all that it took yeah
One sweet touch, that’s when I came alive
But now it’s love, yeah that covers me softly
Still that love keeps coming
That love keeps growing
That good love made a man out of stone
Cause I need to be with you
Cause you are my soul, my religion
You’re my heart’s inspiration
You’re my hope, my desire
You’re my sun, can’t get higher
You’re my soul, my religion
You’re my heart’s inspiration
You’re my hope, my desire
You’re my sun, can’t get higher
