Since so many fans on the Sonic Powerzone Mailinglist seem to be interested in the "Sonic R" lyrics, I thought it would be a nice idea if I posted them. :) Sorry for any typos I might have missed... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. "Can You Feel The Sunshine?" by Richard Jacques Intro Verse 1 Can you see, The sun is shining on me, It makes me feel so free, So alive, It makes me want to survive And the sky, It makes me feel so high, The bad times pass me by, 'Cos today, it's gonna be a brighter day. Chorus Can you feel the sunshine, Does it brighten up your day, Don't you feel that sometimes, You just need to run away, Reach out for the sunshine, Forget about the rain, Just think about the good times, And they will come back again. Verse 2 Without you, There's nothing for me to do, Can you feel the sunshine too, It's coming through, It makes me feel brand new, When you're here, I wish you were always near, 'Cos everything's so clear, And today, it's gonna be a brighter day. Chorus Bridge When the sun goes down, I feel like I am waiting, For another day, When the clouds go away. Chorus (Instrumental) Chorus Repeat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. "Living In The City" by Richard Jacques Intro Verse 1 So many different things to se, there's no time, So many different things to do, but there's no time, So many people all around, So many feelings to be found, Living in the city where no one lets you down. Chorus (Living in the city) You know you have to survive (Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive, (Living in the city) Where everything is free, (Living in the city) Can't you see? (repeat chorus) Verse 2 So many things that we've been through, can you feel it, So many things for us to do, but can you feel it, So many faces all around, So many places to be found, Living in a city where nothing gets you down. Chorus Bridge In the sky at night, The stars are shining bright, You can see the city lights, 'Cos I'm here to make it right. Chorus (Instrumental) Chorus Repeat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. "Back In Time" by Richard Jacques Intro Verse 1 Sometimes I ask myself, what am I doing here? I think of all the reasons but it's still not clear, I look at places to go, there's nothing near, So take me away from this, 'Cos this place I'll hardly miss. Chorus So take me back in time, To another world, Then you can be mine, We don't have to worry, When your by my side There's nothing I don't know, There's nothing to decide, Apart from where we want to go. Verse 2 What am I doing now, by coming back for more, Is it me, or have I been here before? I want to go somewhere that we can explore, Just take me away from here, To somewhere that's nowhere near. Chorus Bridge Take me there, Take me anywhere, You want to go, To a place that we both know. Instrumental Chorus Repeat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. "Work It Out" by Richard Jacques Intro Verse 1 We all need, to work together, To build a better life, To make it what we feel, We have to make it real, We all need, to remember, That nothing in this world comes for free, We have to make it, what we want, Just you and me and everybody. Chorus Work it out, work it out, think about it, Work it out, work it out, talk about it, Work it out, work it out, make it happen, Let's work it out, work it out, We've got to make it real. We've got to make it real, We've got to make it real, We've got to make it real. Verse 2 We all know, that life gets harder, Its getting harder day by day, We can show, that we are trying, We're making sure that everyone can stay. You're the one, I can depend on, No one else can ever put it right, I'm someone, you can rely on, 'Cos we're not giving up without a fight. Chorus Instrumental Chorus Repeat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. "Diamond In The Sky" by Richard Jacques Intro Verse 1 Another day, it's like a new beginning, And so today, I know that it's a new start, And all the bad times are disappearing, 'Cos now I know that we'll never be apart. Chorus You're the one that makes me feel so high, (Just like the diamonds in the sky) I never want to hear you say goodbye, ('Cos you're my diamond in the sky) Verse 2 Another road that we must travel, Another night for you to show me the way, And so today, I'll give up dreaming, 'Cos now I know, that I need you everyday. Chorus Bridge Where do all the rainbows go, It is to somewhere that I don't know? Whereever it is I want to go. Instrumental Chorus Repeat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. "Super Sonic Racing" by Richard Jacques Intro Verse Come on runaway, You're don't have to stay, We're nearly out of time, But you're doing fine, So stay on track, And don't look back, Just feel the pace, Come on now RACE!! Chorus Everybody's SuperSonic Racing, Try to keep your feet right on the ground, When you're SuperSonic Racing, There's no time to look around, We're just SuperSonic Racing, Running to the point of no return, Everybody's SuperSonic Racing, Come on let the fires burn. Instrumental Chorus Bridge Don't you know, That we really have to go, To a place, Where you can feel my heart just race. Chorus Repeat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. "Number One" by Richard Jacques Verse 1 When the day is done, When the race is won, My life has only just begun, When you're next to me, So much more I can see, There's nowhere that I'd rather be When I'm away from you, And there's nothing I can do, Do you think the same things too, When the time has come, I don't want you to run, You know that you're the only one. Chorus All I need is you, for always and for ever, All you need is me, just listen when I say, All we need is love, for us to be together, 'Cos your my number 1. All I need is you, for always and for ever, All you need is me, just listen when I say, All we need is love, for us to be together, 'Cos your my number 1. Verse 2 At the end of each day, Or whenever you're away, There's always things I want to say, But wherever you go, You will always know, That I've got so much more to show, You're my number 1 prize, When I look into your eyes, It's only then I realise. You're the one for me, There's no one else I want to see, There's no place I'd rather be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All lyrics (c) 1997 Sega Enterprises Ltd. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Isn't it sweet, all the songs are about love... but in the Archie comics Sega wants Sonic to be void of emotions (and killing off his main love interest, Sally... _unthinkable_). :) Bye Alessandro --- You get what anyone gets. You get a lifetime.
