(Written by Christine McVie)

Girls you know
When you're in the mood
(In the mood)
You may meet a man
Can't do anything good
(nothing good)
But you've got to pity him
And ty to understand
(understand)
That a hero, a hero is so hard to find

When he takes you
For his love
(for his love)
And he tries to tell you
That there is'nt any other
(don't believe him)
Oh, he may kiss you
And tell you he'll miss you
(such a shame)
But don't forget, a hero is so hard to find

When he says hello
Don't forget they're all the same
(you know they're all the same)
You may end up sitting all alone
And with yourself to blame
Oh, don't you let him

So when he tells you
You've got diamonds in your eyes
(he's just lying)
Don't get carried away
Cause you know he's selling you lies
(he's just lying)
So when you get the feeling
The man you've got's no good
He's no good
Well just remember, a hero is so hard to find
Well just remember, a hero is so hard to find

Heroes, heroes are hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find...

(Written by Elmore James)

Well now look for me baby
Cause you know I'm coming home
Well now look for me baby
Cause you know I'm coming home
Well I really outn't love you darlin'
You know you done me wrong

Well I'm coming home to you baby
And I ain't gonna leave no more
Well I'm coming home to you baby and I ain't gonna leave no more
Well I know I done you wrong darlin'
Like I'm a knockin' at your door

I want to tell you baby
Just before I leave this town
I wanna tell you baby
Just before I leave this town
Well I'm coming home to you baby
And won't stand no pushin' around

. . .


words and music by Stevie Nicks

Sometimes
The most beautiful things
The most innocent things
And many of those dreams
Pass us by
Keep passing us by

You feel good
I said it's funny that you understood
I knew you would
When you were good
You were very, very good

I still look up
When you walk in the room
I've the same wide eyes
They tell the story
Try not to reach out
When you turn 'round
And you say hello
And we both pretend
There was an end
But there was no ending

So I close my eyes softly
Til I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime
And to those that I love
Like a ghost through a fog
Like a charmed hour
And a haunted song
And the angel of my dreams

I still look up
I try hard not to look up
That girl was me
Track a ghost through the fog
A charmed hour - a haunted song
Track a ghost through the fog, baby
Ooh, you try hard
But you'll never catch me - yeah

. . .


(Written by Bob Welch)

I guess you've heard about the Bermuda triangle
There's something going on
Nobody seems to know just what it is
And the airforce won't let on
It might be hole down in the ocean
Yeah or a fog that won't let go
It might be some crazy people talking
Or somebody that we ought to know
Down in Bermuda, the pale blue sea
Way down in the triangle, it's easy to believe

Now here's one
You see strange shapes in moonlight
And shadows in the night
They said that wingtip seemed to brush their faces
And strangers stole their sight
Way down in the triangle
Where the sea was smooth as glass
Giving you one answer to a question
That you never thought you'd ask
Ah down in Bermuda, in the pale blue sea
Way down in Bermuda, yeah it's easy to believe
Down in the triangle, it's easy to believe

They came from Galveston
They came from New Orleans
And then from Bloomington, and Delaware
The used St. Petersburg, they came from Tampa
And then from Mexico, it doesn't matter where
They all completely share,
All of those ships and planes,
A great big mystery that cannot be explained,
Down in Bermuda, in the pale blue sea

Your feeling safe in your harbour
And everything seems certain
Right next to Palm Beach and Key Biscane
Behind a velvet curtain
But then the moon goes grey with worry
And the sea turns a pale white
You better believe something strange is going on tonight
Down in Bermuda, ah, the pale blue sea
Bermuda Triangle, yeah, it's easy to believe
Down in the Triangle, it's easy to believe

They came from Galveston
They came from New Orleans
And then from Bloomington, and Delaware
Bermuda, the pale blue sea

Heroes Are Hard To Find

I'm dancing, to the music
Of a simple melody
And I wonder are you thinking
Of a single memory
And I know when I see them swaying
I can hear myself say

Come a little bit closer
(come a little bit closer)
Cause I remember the time
When you held me in your arms
(come a little bit closer)
And you wanted to be mine
Everything good, everything gold
And now all that's left is a sweet memory

If you love me, let me know
Why don't you show me which way to go
Please don't leave me all alone
Cause I can't make it on my own
And I know when I see them swaying
I can hear myself say

Come a little bit closer
(come a little bit closer)
Cause I remember the time
When you held me in your arms
(come a little bit closer)
And you wanted to be mine
I might but wrong but that's where I belong
Why are you just a sweet memory

Come a little bit closer
(come a little bit closer)
Cause I remember the time
When you held me in your arms
(come a little bit closer)
And you wanted to be mine
Everything good, everything gold
Why are you just a sweet memory

(Come a little bit closer)
(Come a little bit closer)
(Come a little closer)
(Come a little closer)

(Written by Bob Welch)

Now the wind
That's blowing out of the southwest
Is telling me, boy you better beware
Here she comes, and they call her the sweet Omega
And you'll come to know the meaning of her stare

Cause the only road that you'll ever need to ride
Is the one that's rolling out, beyond her eyes
And although she'll bring you joy
Don't you know she can destroy
Oh lord she's changing me

When you're down
And you're headed for a bad night
And you're seeing shapes of trouble in the stars
She'll take your hand, cause they call her the sweet Omega
Then she'll take away the sadness in your heart
Cause the only road that you'll ever need to ride
Is the one that's rolling out, beyond her eyes
And although she'll bring you joy
Don't you know she can destroy
Oh lord she's changing me

The only road you'll ever need to ride
The only road you'll ever need to ride
The only road you'll ever need to ride
Oh, lord she's changing me...

. . .


(Written by Christine McVie)

Well you thought you had a hold on me
But it's different now
Everything you done before has fell upon you now

Are you just a bad loser
But you never let go
(and you're gonna go down)
Yes you'll go down, but you'll never let it show

All the strings and strokes in the ocean
Won't buy you peice of mind
All because you did what you did
You're not the peaceful kind

You're just a bad loser
And you'll never let go
(and you're gonna go down)
Yes you'll go down, but you'll never, never let it show

I think you really know what I mean
But I'll tell you one more time
Oh cause it's the truth and you know it
That you're no friend of mine

You're just a bad loser
And you'll never let go
(and you're gonna go down)
Yes you'll go down, but you'll never let it show

. . .


(Written by Bob Welch)

She came in like a hurricane
Wearing boots and diamond rings
With a fox fur on her shoulder
She set wondering
And I could tell she was feeling abandoned
Because she flashed a look across my way
She said hop for a ride
You'll never ask me but I'll tell you anyway

She took me out on the blackboard jungle
Put me straight in a hurricane
She hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled ways
If I could sing like Paul McCartney, or get funky like Etta James
I'd never change, I'd never change, I'd never change silver heeled ways

She came in and her flags were flying
She was a sailboat of sweet perfume
And I could see that her eyes were smiling
From across the room
Well I couldn't think of conversation
I was busy looking at her furs
She said Hey, you'll never ask me
So I guess I'll say the word

She took me out on the blackboard jungle
Put me straight in a hurricane
She hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled ways
If I could sing like Paul McCartney, and funky like Etta James
I'd never change, I'd never change, No I'd never change silver heeled ways

(silver, silver heels) that's what I mean
(silver) whoo talking bout silver (silver heels)
(silver) alright (silver heels)
I'm talkin' bout silver (silver) silver heels (silver)
She took me out on the blackboard jungle
Put me straight in a hurricane
She hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled ways
If I could sing like Paul McCartney, and funky like Etta James
I'd never change, No I'd never change her, I'd never change silver heeled ways

(silver) Oooh silver heels
(silver) talkin' bout silver heels
(silver) silver heels
(silver) that's what I mean...

. . .


(Written by Christine McVie)

Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooooh...

I want to be, inside your heart
That's place, the place for me
But I could understand, it won't be easy
You've got to prove, prove your love to me
You've got to prove, prove your love to me

Like I say it ain't easy
To let your heart run wild
So if you want to please me baby
Then don't act like a child
But I can understand, it won' t be easy
You've got to prove, prove your love to me
You've got to prove, prove your love to me

It doesn't matter if you're far away
Or right here by my side
That's the way I feel about it
We can't let the whole thing slide...

So if you can't see me
Right where you are
They why don't you send for me baby
By the nearest star
It won't be easy, and you've got to prove
You've got to prove, prove your love to me
You've got to prove, prove your love to me

Ooooohhhh, oooooohh, ooooooh...

. . .


(Written by Bob Welch)

Well I'm a born enchanter
That's what the ladies see
Yes I'm a born enchanter
Down in the city of dreams
Lord do right by me and let me go
Down in my city of dreams where I need to go

Well I'm a born enchanter, well...

Well I'm a born enchanter
Followin' the sabbath cross
Oh I'm a born enchanter
Looking for the faith I lost
Lord do right by me and let me go
Down in my city of dreams, where I need to go

Yeah...
Cause I'm a born enchanter

. . .


(Written by Bob Welch)

Just a fine and safe harbour
In to talk with a flow

(this can't be right, can it?)
