1. Can You Feel (Wild)
Can you fe-e-e-e-e-el?
Underneath the brave and brand new sky
A soldier's singing
So I'm writing you this letter, won't be long
Till I meet you at the station
For you are the only one I'm thinking of
You are the one that has my love
While you're waiting patiently don't grieve for me
I'll be back someday
(Never want to be a hero too soon)
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do…
Though it seems to be so many years
Since I went away
I'm helpless now - I've shed so many tears
Such a rainy day
Take me from this galaxy
Imaginate yourself with me through night and day
Wish upon a star that floats alone
To skies that always look over you
(Never wanna get a bullet)
Can you feel
The raindrops falling down?
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
I can see rain on a distant plain
I could cry watching your picture fade
As the dust settles down after fire
Can you feel
The raindrops falling down?
Like a gentle gunshot fire
I keep moving on down
2. Get Set (Wild)

Ah ah ah ah ah ah…
Makin' the scene
I really mean
You could be there with me
And make believe
I'll find a place for us
To be alone
Here in the depths of our emotion
Don't you know, baby?
Get set, everybody
We're on our way
To meet you
Too late, everybody
We're on our way
To nowhere
And I will be there
Kick out your seat
Let's elevate
Hold on to what you know
Is gonna break
A roller coaster ride
Inside your mind
Is what you need to terrify you
Don't you know, baby?
Get set, everybody
We're on our way
To meet you
Too late, everybody
We're on our way
To nowhere
And I will be there
Never gets you too far (never gets you too far)
Never gets you too far now
And if you climb aboard, there is nothing to it
If you concentrate, we will see you through it
Don't forget at the end of the ride -
You'll be hypnotised by the sound, it's too late 
Ah ah ah ah ah ah…
Get set, everybody
We're on our way
To meet you
Too late, everybody
We're on our way
To nowhere
And I will be there
If you want me to
If you want me to
If you want me to…
3. Everywhere You Go (Wild/Watson)

I could be a lover like that
Just give me all the things that you want now
Tell me the best thing I can do
You say you got a lot of good reasons
I know I told a lot of good lies now
I could lose everything for you
So if you fall asleep and gotta wake up
Say that it's so (say it's so)
I'll be the one to tear you away from here
Everywhere you go, I'll come running (everywhere that you go)
Everywhere you go, I will bring you round (everywhere that you go)
Everywhere you go, I will come to you
But I won't bring you down (I won't bring you down, won't bring you down)
Fly a little, take a long drive
We can be whatever we want now
Won't be the same here without you
So if you've gotta leave a little later
Stay here a while (stay a while)
I could take all these fears away from you
'Cause everywhere you go, I'll come running (everywhere that you go)
Everywhere you go, I will bring you round (everywhere that you go)
Everywhere you go, I will come to you
But I won't bring you down (I won't bring you down, won't bring you down)
All the tears you cry as the miles roll by
I'll be reaching out to hold you
There is nothing else that I won't do for you
I could take all these fears away from you
'Cause everywhere you go, I'll come running (everywhere that you go)
Everywhere you go, I will bring you round (everywhere that you go)
Ooh, everywhere you go, I will come to you
But I won't bring you dow-ow-own (I won't bring you down, won't bring you down)
All the tears you cry as the miles roll by (dow-ow-ow-ow-ow-own)
I'll be reaching out to hold you (won't bring you dow-ow-ow-ow-ow-own)
There is nothing else that I  won't do for you
Everywhere you go
I will come to you
But I won't bring you down
4. 72 Hour Daze (Singh/Wild/Hall)
It's a lovely day today
So why do I feel strange?
Wasted away, I am dry
Three feet to either way
Can't help to think what may
Will be left around me when I die
And the sunlight in my eyes ain't helping me
Cause everywhere I look, it's all I see
Dreaming of another place
To wash away the pain
So I can fly away
Can't deal with all of my disgrace
Waiting for the time
When I will fly away
Da da da da, da da da da da, da da da da
I remember yesterday
Though some things may have changed
A different place; another time
Two trips I have to make
Bus ride I have to take
The other trip is in my mind
And the moonlight in your eyes is melting me
Rise up through the skies and reach for me
(So I'll fly)
Dreaming of another place
To wash away the pain
(Wash away and fly)
So I can fly away
Can't deal with all of my disgrace
Waiting for the time
(Waiting just to fly)
When I will fly away
Knew that I could never be without you now (ah)
Didn't have to let me go (ah)
Only had to let me know (ah - fly away)
Any way for me to get away from you (ah)
Now I'll have to let you go (ah)
Didn't want to let you go (ah)
(So I'll fly)
Dreaming of another place
To wash away the pain
(Wash away and fly)
So I can fly away
Can't deal with all of my disgrace
Waiting for the time
(Waiting just to fly)
When I will fly away
Never been that I would look upon your face (I'll fly)
Maybe in another place 
I will fly, I will fly away (I will fly away)
Anyway for me to find a way to you (I'll fly)
There is nothing I won't do
I will fly, I will fly (I will fly, I will fly)
It's a lovely day today
So why do I feel strange?
Everything around me has changed
I can hold on for another day
I can hold on
I can hold on
I can hold on for another day
(Doesn't matter what they say
Gonna make it anyway)
I can hold on 
I can hold on
I can hold on for another day
(We can find a better way
Gonna make a brand new day)
5. Rocketship (Wild)

Sitting in a rocketship 
Perpetual motion takes me for a ride (i-ide)
Feeling terracoda 
As I wake amongst the moments of my life (i-ife)
Slipping into clean blue jeans, I stumble 
But no-one hears me -
Well, can you hear me? 
And when the morning finds the sun 
You are with me now 
And as the day begins to come 
I'm telling you (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I'm still in love with you 
Telepathic messages 
I'm leaving on a jet plane over sky (y-y)
Gathering my thoughts, I float and gaze at magic 
Carried through the night (i-ight)
Your Egyptian fingers hypnotize 
Your solemn eyes -
I could have died 
And when the morning finds the sun 
You are with me now 
And as the day begins to come 
I'm telling you (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I'm still in with love you
Ooh ooh ah I ah I ah I ah I ah
And as the silence turns to sound 
You are with me now 
And as the day begins to sing
I'm telling you (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I'm still in love 
And when the morning finds the sun 
You are with me now 
And as the day begins to come 
I'm telling you (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I'm still in love with you 
Oooh…
6. Let Me Die Young (Wild)

I believe 
In the faithful and true 
And I believe in silly things 
Like everlasting love 
But I could never ever believe 
What was struck upon you 
You fell away 
But this time it was for good 
Let me die young, let me die young 
So I can be with you forever 
Let me die young, let me die young 
So we can laugh again in heaven 
Once again 
You broke my heart (you broke it so gently)
Other days, the pieces fell together again 
But this time it's different 
'Cause today, my heart is beyond repair 
So it bleeds 
'Cause darling, you slipped away 
Much too easy for me 
Let me die young, let me die young 
So I can be with you forever 
Let me die young, let me die young 
So we can laugh again in heaven 
When the loneliness inside me 
Turns to pain 
I'll drink my heart to sleep 
Just to see you once again 
I believe 
In the faithful and true 
And I believe in silly things 
Like everlasting love 
Let me die young let me die young 
So I can be with you forever (ah ah)
Let me die young, let me die young (I'm on my way)
Let me die young, let me die young 
So I can be with you  (I wanna be with you oh oh) 
Let me die young let me die young (I'm on my way) 
I could die 
I could die…
7. Rachael (Wild/Watson)

Rachael
I'm sorry that we never had the time
Making love could have last forever
I will never let you go from the corners of my mind
Never say never
Rachael (Oh Rachael) 
I'm dreaming of a day when you were mine
We could have been so good together
Lonely sitting here with just my thoughts beside me now
Never say never		
When you find the time
I'd like to nestle in your arms
Tangled in the deepest jungle
Never been so kind
All will be forsake (Baby) 
Rachael
A lesson hard to learn is what I've found
This difference has grown between us
I was never one to show the way that my heart lies 
Save me from misery 
Rachael (Oh Rachael)
It's taken far too long to realize 
You're everything that I could care for 
This paradise inside will never leave my heart and mind 
Together and forever
With a lover's touch she will be
Sending me away 
A promise of a new beginning 
Each and every day (ah ah)
Even when we lie
Could have been so good together now 
A new beginning every day 
Could have been so good together, Rachael 
Could have been so good together now 
But she's still sending me away
8. Ice Cream (Wild/Watson)
I, I like ice cream 
A kind of smooth kick taste takes away my mind 
But you, you ain't a better thing 
But if you got a big car, take me for a ride 
Folding my fingers through your hair 
Taking my time to look on 
Dreaming of white chocolate lotion 
I gotta find a better place so I can be another face 
And people look on 
Take me to Sunset Park 
We'll find a better day - somewhere that's far away 
Find me at Sunset Park 
Lay back and make believe - we can be anything 
We're on our own 
I, I ain't a jelly bean 
A cellophane sun kiss takes away the time 
But I, I'm going sugar-free (mmmmm)
And when you get to Sunset, we'll go for a ride 
Policemen in bright yellow raincoats 
Waving the children goodbye 
So I buy a dream with a short note 
I gotta find a better place where I can be another face 
And people look on 
Take me to Sunset Park  (Sunset Park)
We'll find a better day - somewhere that's far away (ah ah ah)
Find me at Sunset Park (Sunset Park)
Lay back and make believe - we can be anything 
We're on our…
Taken by surprise on this occasion 
You left me for a sharper man than me 
Ice cream, daydream, far away from here 
Take me to Sunset Park  (Sunset Park)
We'll find a better day - somewhere that's far away (ah ah ah) (oh yeah)
Find me at Sunset Park (Sunset Park)
Lay back and make believe - we can be anything 
We're on our 
Take me to Sunset Park  (la da di da la da di da) (ah ah ah)
Find me at Sunset Park (la da di da la da di da) (ooh ooh ooh)
(Some untranslatable words here…anyone have any idea? Let me know!)
 
9. Let's Spend The Night (Wild/Watson)

Left me here on a rainy day 
Somehow I knew this would come 
A silent room full of memories 
Now I wake to find that everything's gone 
It could have been, I think to myself (ahh)
A blessing that I'll never know (ahh)
And if it seems I'm trying too hard (ahh)
Give me the strength to let go (ahh)
It's the last time that we'll have together 
It's the only thing left in our lives 
But as long as we still have each other 
Let's spend the night (nigh-ee-igh-ee-igh-ee-ight)
"Find myself a better life", you used to say 
Now your dreaming has finally grown 
Even though you are near and the answer's so clear 
I can't do it, I can't let you go 
And if it seems I'm falling behind 
It's hurting me more than you'll know 
It's the last time that we'll have together 
It's the only thing left in our lives 
But as long as we still have each other 
Let's spend the night (nigh-ee-igh-ee-igh-ee-ight)
I remember the line that you gave me 
'Bout the days and the rest of our lives (ah ah ah ah)
Now that you've found your place to be 
It'll kill me if you're not around (ah ah ah ah)
It's the last time that we'll have together 
It's the only thing left in our lives 
But as long as we still have each other 
Let's spend the night (nigh-ee-igh-ee-igh-ee-ight)
(Let's spend, let's spend the night) Let's spend the night
(Let's spend, let's spend the night) Let's spent the night
Let's spend the night (igh-ee-igh-ee-igh-ee-ight)
10. Nothing In This World (Wild/Singh)

(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Pressing your face on a tear-coloured glass 
Washing my name from your mouth as you pass 
You talk to me, but the words seem to disappear 
'Cause there's nothing in this world 
That'll stop me fighting for you 
Nothing in this world 
That'll keep me away 
There is nothing in this world (ah ah)
That'll stop me fighting for your love (your love, your love, your love)
I might have told you how much you have meant to me 
(Don't be alarmed if I tell you how I feel)
You found adventures in places I couldn't see
(I could have been there if only I showed you)
I fall for you, in this place just to be with you (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause there's nothing in this world 
That'll stop me fighting for you 
Nothing in this world 
That'll keep me away (oh oh ah)
There is nothing in this world (ah ah)
That'll stop me fighting for your love (your love, your love, your love)
You broke me like a fallen leaf 
When you spoke too soon 
But I found strength in what I need 
And I need you (oh)
Oh oh ah
Na na na na na na na na na na
Oh oh ah
Na na na na na na na na na na
'Cause there's nothing in this world 
That'll stop me fighting for you 
Nothing in this world 
That'll keep me away 
There is nothing in this world (ah ah)
That'll stop me fighting for your love (your love, your love, your love)
Nothing in this world 
That'll stop me fighting for you 
Nothing in this world for me
That'll keep me away 
There is nothing in this world 
That'll stop me fighting for your love - oh yeah (ah ah ah)
Nothing in this world - oh, stop me fighting for you (ah ah ah)
Please don't push me away (oh oh ah ah)
Nothing in this world
That'll stop me fighting for your love (ah ah ah)
11. Counting Down The Days (Hall)

Long may the sun shine on you 
Long may the rain fall on me 
I'm having trouble in my head 
It comes from the things you said 
Now I'm counting down the days 
I never told you half the truth 
I'd always tiptoed through your room 
I can't be sorry for what I've done 
I couldn't spoil the fun 
Now I'm counting down the days 
I'll be counting down the days
And the ocean holds no clues (the ocean holds no clues for you)
And that plane overhead could be taking you away 
I haven't always been this cold 
Before the news grows old 
I'll be counting down the days
I'll be counting down the days
12. Back Again (Wild)

When the work is done and the livin's easy 
I reside to my life so breezy 
Think of all the troubles overcome 
But I don't suppose that you'll ever see me 
Angered by your love so squeeze me 
I propose to fight for what is mine 
'Cause I'll take you back again 
He's a miner's son - he stole my true love 
Tempted her with freckled fortunes 
Now I have to show her what is more 
With a ring in hand and a book of verses 
I climbed through her crooked bedroom 
Greeted by a miner's crooked leg 
'Cause I'll take you back again 
Yes, I need her once again 
Dusting off my old blue coat 
I wander in a midnight dream 
And I guess there's no telling me… 
That I won't ever have her back again 
No, I won't have her back again
12. Helplessly Hoping (Stills)

*Note:  Contrary to what seems to be popular belief, this track - taken from the movie "A Walk on The Moon", 
which stars Diane Lane and Viggo Mortensen - is NOT a Taxiride composition. Rather, it is a cover of a song 
written by Stephen Stills, of Crosby, Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young!) fame, and lifted from their 1969 
"Crosby, Stills and Nash" album, which was released by Atlantic Records.
Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses 
Of gentle true spirit
He runs - wishing he could fly-y
Only to trip at the sound of goodbye-e-ee-eye-eye-eye
Wordlessly watching
He waits at the window
And wonders at the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself
To her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a goodbye-eye? 
Or even hello?
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
Stand by the stairway
You'll see something certain to tell you
Confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose - in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lo-ost
And choking on hello-o-o-o-o
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
