Tnt - Atlantis Album Lyrics

---

Hello, Hello

Hello, hello, hello,
How are you?
It was good to see ya,
It was good to see ya

No-one's gotta hold on you,
You've spent your whole life running wild
Livin' lovin' London town
In the days of '65

A sharp cut suit and a chrome Lambretta
Took you down to Brighton beach
A bag of blues and a Yardbirds tune
With the weekend at your feet

All your life you've been trying
To find a road that turns back time
You're still flying
Those days are dying...

Hello, hello, hello
How are you ?
It was good to see ya
It was good to see ya

Hello, hello, hello
How are you ?
I can see you're looking good,
It was good to see ya...

Heading down on the 10.15
All the way to sea and sand,
No-one's gotta hold on you
Or the music of the band
There's nothing like a memory
To make it all come flooding back...

All your life, you've been riding,
To the sun that kissed the sky,
But it's time, to say goodbye...

Peter Sellers Blues

David Niven wouldn't know what to think
I bet he'd never seen a panther so pink
Stick to the radio, you're alright Jack,
Think of Sophia Loren and don't look back...

You're cuttin' the scene
No-one could believe
Ustinov could have lived that dream

You remind me of Peter, number # 1 in his time
And you have to admit, he was one of a kind
Just a friend of the family, that don't have a care
(Mr.) Peter Sellers, are you there?

Take your pills and put Britt Ekland on,
Hey big spender, got no mind of your own,
Go powder your pussycat nose
Now that Hollywood's your home, I suppose

A turn of a page
And out with a rage,
James Bond walked right off that stage...

You remind me of Peter, number # 1 in his time
And you have to admit, he was one of a kind
Just a friend of the family, that don't have a care
(Mr.) Peter Sellers, are you there?

There's no way of telling
From ' A Shot In The Dark',
Where your life may be heading
And the broken hearts
But there weren't no stoppin'
'Till it fell apart
Are you lonely ? Oh, Oh, Oh...

You know the minute that you walked in the joint,
Kubrik and Blake cut right to the point
Dr. Strangelove and his nuclear toy,
I guess you've always been a little boy...

You're setting the scene
No-one would believe
Ustinov should have lived that dream...

Baby's Got Rhythm

Hey baby, gotta have this feeling
Gotta have this feeling tonight
Hey baby, gotta have this feeling
Gotta dance, dance through the night

Baby's got rhythm, baby's got the groove,
Baby's got the swing, baby's got the move
Baby's got rhythm, baby's got the groove,
Baby's got the swing, baby's got the move

Hey baby, gotta have this feeling
Gotta have this feeling tonight
Hey baby, gotta have this feeling
Gotta dance, dance through the night
Hey baby, gotta keep on moving
Gotta keep on staying on top
Hey baby, gotta keep on moving
Gotta dance, dance 'till we drop

Tango Girl

She's my tango girl, I love her dearly
She's my tango girl, I see her clearly...
She's my tango girl,
I must be dreamin'
In our tango world...

When we have fun
I do really hope we're never done
In our tango world
When she is gone
I can hardly wait for her to come

She's my tango girl
She's my tango girl,
She is delicious.
She's my tango girl,
so pale and so precious.
She's my tango girl,
I hope she's not leaving,
In my tango world,
There's no fandango girl
No, no, no...

Me And Dad

My father told me long ago
Hey listen son, you ought to know
I've been a young man, just like you
I've had my dreams, a future, too

I've been across the seven seas
That's how I found my inner peace
Discovered ways to ride the storm
I showed respect and did no harm

So don't, go too far,
Get to know who you are
Learn to live and give...

Under the moon
I can see you now
You are smiling
Under the moon
I can see you now
You are waiting
Under the moon, I can see

Hey listen son, you know by now
That you cant make the angels bow
Your family is who you are
Live in love and fly with stars

But don't go too far
Get to know who you are
Learn to live and give

My father told me long ago
Hey listen son, you ought to know.
I've been a young man, just like you
I've had my dreams, a future, too
I had my dreams, a future, too

Atlantis

Down through the ages
Lost in the pages of time
A land for the heroes
A dawn full of reason and rhyme
A tale for believers

A sign for the darkest deceiver
A song for the dreamer
Who longs, to be closer and closer to love...

You'll never find your way to Atlantis
For it was never there
What a wonderful dream for romantics
Like music in the air...

Under the ocean
Deep down emotion
Sleeping endeavour
Dreams take forever
Memories of dark times
Lost in the moonlight
Somewhere a whisper
That's calling you closer and fooling your heart...

The Taste Of Honey

Honey, taste of honey,
You are the sweetest thing I've ever had
Honey, honey,
You are the taste that really makes me glad

Honey, taste of honey
You are the princess of the band,
Honey... sweet naturally

Oh, oh - Our love is never ending
Oh, oh - Finger lickin' sweet,
Oh, oh, Our love is never ending,
Oh... Honeybee

Honey, taste of honey
Dripping out of my hand
Honey, honey,
It's sugar candyland

Oh, oh - Our love is never ending
Oh, oh - Finger lickin' sweet...
Oh, oh - The perfume you are sending
Oh, oh - Our love is never ending
Oh... Honeybee

Bottle Of Wine

It feels like a Saturday night tonight,
Not like a Monday night,
Not like you're out of sight
We've both been travellin' way too long
But our friendship's strong, We know that we belong
We gotta bring out a cheer...

Two friends and a bottle of wine
Both feeling fine, a bottle of wine
Two friends and a bottle of wine
Both feeling fine, a bottle of wine
We gotta drink it all up!

We are discussing the cloudy past
What couldn't really last
But our friendship has
So, we are finally here today, we've got a lot to say,
Let's bring it out, so hey! We gotta drink it all up!

Missing Kind

I don't want to be waiting for you
I've been waiting for too long
I just wanna be closer to you
Closer to you, love so strong

Oh, so sweet, you gotta tell me when I'm all outta line
And you're oh, so sweet..

Don't wanna be the missing kind,
Don't wanna be the last in line,
Don't wanna press play / rewind
Don't wanna be missing time...

I don't wanna be searching for you,
I've been searching for a while
I'm just happy that I have found you
That I walked the extra mile...

Oh, so sweet
You gotta tell me when I'm all outta line
And you're oh, so sweet...
Tell me baby, what's on your mind
And you're oh, so sweet...

Love Of My Life

I could have been an L.A. film star
You could have been an opera queen
But I couldn't act to save my life
And you couldn't sing, so we split the scene

It don't matter where we go tonight
We've got all the time in the world

You, shine like an evening star
I'm gonna, run before you get too far,
I'm gonna, smile when you're in my arms
You are the, love of my life

We could have lived like the Onassis'
Sailing in some pacific dream,
Playing canasta in sunglasses
Sipping champagne down on our knees

I wouldn't want no place to go
If you weren't here by my side
Holding hands, ain't made no plans
Than to be with you tonight

We could have caught a late night flight
Taking us out to somewhere blue
But I couldn't fly to save my life
And red was the shade that suited you.

Had It, Lost It, Found It

We have lost the melody
Now the notes are running free
We had no sense of harmony
We seldom played in key

Words were bad from time to time
We could never get the rhyme
Was it you, or was it me...
That set the music free?

Keep on diggin' it !
Keep on playin' it !
Keep on diggin' it !
Had it, lost it, found it
Had it, lost it, found it

Melody, I love your beat
Notes that only we repeat
All composed from bar to bar,
But songs like that, they don't go far...

So this song ends at the start
Melody, you broke my heart
Dissonance, disharmony,
But now I'm back in key...
