Pale Faced Optimist
Something is hard to remember,
those memories I put it on my shoulder.
Well I couldn’t surrender everything
But I could be a great pretender.
When you asked me for something special.
For a while, I kept it away.
I was a kind of guy, you know, who hate to answer the right way.
You know I am a pale-faced optimist.
I wanted to kiss you away, I wanted to kiss you away
I wanted to kiss you away
Me and my ex-girlfriend spent one night together there
I couldn’t sleep so tight, she said it is going to be alright,
Then she booked an early morning flight to go back home.
She had very long red hair. I told her I used to have Blonde hair.
There was the dream surrounded us with a chilly wind, and finally carry her away.
But you know I am a pale-faced optimist.
I wanted to smile her away, I wanted to smile her you away
I wanted to smile her away I wanted to smile her away
La la la la la la la
Someone came to my table, It seems he is in trouble.
Someone cut the light cable, then the darkness told me I should go away.
Somewhere, somehow I could find you.
You are only my love song
Well please tell me how could you get those blues, it might be laughable.
You know we are the pale-faced optimist.
I wanted to kiss you away. I wanted to kiss you away.
I wanted to kiss you away. I wanted to kiss you away.
I wanted to kiss you away.

Blue Hong Kong Bathrobe
There is little fire from my torch.
I spent the night on the Porch.
Just a lovely nightmare.
She was crying on the beach.
She will leave next March.
I’ve got no love to spare.
We’ve been passed the Lover’s arch.
Sitting on the living room's couch.
Memories I don’t care.
I couldn’t bear to be your coach.
Life will get over to you.
Woo- What would the loved one say to you,
When Angels stop sing no more?
Woo- What would you want me to do,
When Cupids were all gone home.
When you’ve seen it in harbor light,
I guess you would be alright.
Then we had a fight at midnight.
You like to see ‘Morning fright’
And I don’t like ‘Marmite’
Taste like ‘Dynamite’
So much better when you belong to me.
So much better when you take me out,
No way we had an argument.
La la la la Run la Run La la la la Run la Run
I think I just hate your father,
As you don’t like my grandmother.
Nothing that I mean it.
The only one reason I would get that
Know about you are mother’s pet.
Is there anything you mean to me?
Woo- What would the loved one say to you,
When Angels stop sing no more?
Woo- What would you want me to do,
When Cupids were all gone home. X 2
One day you gave me ‘Blue Hong Kong Bathrobe’
Every day I used to wear it.
I still have ‘Mr. Poo’s Soap’
In there… it is secret love place of ‘Blue Hong Kong Bathrobe’
Woo- What would the loved one say to you,
When Angels stop sing no more?
Woo- What would you want me to do,
When Cupids were all gone home. X 2

Blank Monday by Tom Dante
It was Sunday afternoon
and the sun shines on the seaport.
I walked alone early spring day.
The wind blows my long black hair,
while I get strike by my attitude.
It started since I felt I am lonely.
The ship going away makes me sad.
Why shouldn't I think they will come back soon.
I hear my baby said to me,
'I will go anywhere with you＇
It wasn't first time she said it to me,
She kept smiling and I doubt that I could do that.
I guessed the best thing I could do for her was farewell.
That's the way I should choose it.
Every time I said goodbye to her, I felt I get miss something import in my life.
Blank Monday
It's the day I had a break with you
Blank Monday
I can’t quite remember how I live on that day.
Blank Monday
No more Monday like any other Friday I won’t be with you
Blank Monday
It is white as empty page I wrote it on my notebook
Ho oh oh Blank Monday
Ho oh oh Blank Monday （It is just another Monday )
Ho oh oh Blank Monday
Ho oh oh
It was pouring rain onto me, I hoped it cleanse me.
As I think I am little sinner, I was waiting for the sweet salvation.
I know you know the truth we wanted to know 'the old days gone',
so don't hold your bitterness.
You said it to me. You persuaded me in the cold freezing church yard,
But you are gone away.
Blank Monday
It's the day I had a break with you
Blank Monday
I can’t quite remember how I live on that day.
Blank Monday
No more Monday like any other Friday I won’t be with you
Blank Monday
It is white as empty page I wrote it on my notebook
Ho oh oh Blank Monday
Ho oh oh Blank Monday （It is just another Monday )
Ho oh oh Blank Monday
Ho oh oh

Serious Brother
1987
I would like to walk with you around Tokyo Bay.
My nose pointed toward North somewhere.
And the chilly winds against my hair.
My hand grabs yours so tightly. My foots tremble unlikely.
Well your smile has melt in the sky and I see reflecting light of your wheel chair.
It fading into waves. Nobody watching us…
It should be Sunday afternoon.
It must be Sunday afternoon.
One night from my bed, I saw a shining city floating upon the expanse of darkness.
But I wasn’t afraid of anyway. cause I recall my father saying
‘Nothing in this world cannot make us break down’
I am proud of him anyway.
Aren’t you proud of me?
I am your serious brother, I am your serious brother.
Life is full of good news, silly not to celebrate your life.
You gain what you wish, and forgiveness with all of your life.
Isn’t it true? Isn it hardly true? you could be my partner.
Isn’t it true? Isn’t it hardly true? you could be my partner
You are my mean serious brother.
I am your serious brother,You are my serious Sister
I am your serious brother,You are my serious Sister

Brilliant Waves by Tom Dante
We made the shelter on the beach near Chester.
Toys and cradles, you throw them to the north marine seashore.
Near the seashore, we stopped our caravan.
You played my acoustic guitar.
I asked you to play some more!!!
Baby boy, baby blue we are going home now.
Baby girl, baby true, we are welcome home.
The party is over.
Now we are waiting for the bus to the other side of city.
Would you wait till the dawn?
You said "Wrap your arms around me", "Hold our sides with laughter!"
So, we could be the one swimming over those ocean.
Baby boy, baby blue we are going home now.
Baby girl, baby true, we are welcome home.
Slowly Slowly we are sinking in-between the brilliant waves.
Take me to the beach where I used to go.
Take me to the mountain and we will see
the world is in-between brilliant waves.

Bm riff x2 - A - Bm riff
Cho
D-A-G-F#m
A boy met a girl. East met West.
Wars met Sawa in the place where the Love hung on the hook of revenge.
One for the money. Two for the power.
The wind called ‘Liberty’ blow our town where the Hate hung on the hook of revenge.
You’ve got involved with this plan as you wished you could be the one who denial
And leads to the hook of revenge.
Cho
The Sun goes down. The rain pouring down onto the world.
How much we waste the time for that we will never learn?
Where we live, what we find is we know how hard it is.
When will I ever start?
It is ending time for me to realize?
I went to North, you went to South.
Each train crossed over the bridge of the town.
There is no place for the change.
Shivering cold outside of the town.
In the middle of the road, I could see over some little light burning.
The house of Peace they may call it there.
They make a crease for everyone’s sleeves.
The sign of the time, the time for revenge.
Cho
The Sun goes down. The rain pouring down onto the world.
How much we waste the time for that we will never learn?
Where we live, what we find is we know how hard it is.
When will I ever start?
It is ending time for me to realize?

Replaced in you
La la la la la la, la la
In the name of Truth and Hope, there were something out of my whole strength.
Every time I thought I could cope, I had full control of all senses.
Only when I was lost, did I finally see the point.
Only when I was lost, blinded by your love.
But you know I will be there, I want to be with you.
You know I am coming through.
the world know it would be true.
So let my love be replaced in you.
La la la la la la, la la
I was looking to see where I am going.
‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God’
That’s line repeats in my heart.
Voices in the shadow of bush calling me.
Only when I was found surrounded by your love.
Only when I was found set free from this pain.
But you know I will be there, I want to be with you.
You know I am coming through.
the world know it would be true.
So let there be love replaced in you.
We’ve got the freedom in this love.
We’ve got the freedom in this love.
We’ve got the freedom in this love.
We’ve got the freedom in this love.

Ending
F-G#-C
Is there something I should say?
If Heaven accuse my foolish tongue.
Is there something I should try?
If Heaven takes everything from me.
I am here for you and you are here for me to tell
some little thing happened to us.
If we never put it off again
We will meet again. You said you do love me forever
Hold me tight
My dream is not over
Sweet little house of Peace
I should have share with you
But maybe ‘All the way on the winding road’
‘My face up to the small door’ and ‘the Fate of all’
It’s just the end of Carnival’
(Beginning of the end of Carnival)
Love is only the word I don’t use now
Long long time I used it for mistake.
Life is not that simple if I don’t give it away
Before it get me down please rescue me.
Hold me tight
My dream is not over
Sweet little house of Peace
I should have share with you
But maybe ‘All the way on the winding road’
‘My face up to the small door’ and ‘the Fate of all’
It’s just the end of Carnival’

Kiss and Ride Lane
I’ll be back to the Kiss and Ride Lane, Where near my dream still sleeps alone.
I’d better not passing the sideline when I drove off to a go-straight sign.
I’ll be back again on Kiss and Ride lane. We used to cycle around the beach.
Pouring rain onto the Canal, hit the road of plumages…
To the world making a fuss and lovelorn.
To the world making a kiss and love alone.
It’s the only continental way that I found you there.
It’s the just sentimental way that I found the devices.
I’ll be back for the morning ride, I ‘ll be back for the fall and slide
I’d better not passing the sideline, the ball I kicked was straight enough
To the world taking a toss on their run.
To the world taking a piss out of you.
You’ve got to be there with me, the coast and the metro station.
You’ve got to be there with me, the Kiss and Ride lane.
I couldn’t imagine anymore if I lost the one I dreamt.
I couldn’t stand anymore, you know the reason why……though I’d be back.
I’ll be back to Kiss and Ride Lane.
I’ll be back to Kiss and Ride Lane.

When you feel love is so strange
When you feel love is so strange,
What would you do?
What would you care about most?
When I feel love is so strange
I arrange myself looking pathetic.
Now you feel love is so strange?
Are you going to holding back the truth.
I feel I need to be change
I deserve what it causes the blues (pain)
We know we lost the time that can’t be return.
Though we tried to forget before our secret was found
When you feel love is so strange?
Do you feel it all tear things apart.
When I feel love is so strange.
I do expect the thing will turn away.
You start to behave a strange holding back asking thing.
Don’t you bother it is time now for everlasting love
You used to said to me
We are hurting each other for nothing.
Let me make you smile again.
Love is fine in strange way
It’s alright,
It’s quite alright.
