ROLL OF THE DICE

Live 15 Apr 1993 version



Are you ready to roll with me?
Because I need a little help now
I need a little help now
Oh I can feel it coming baby
Yeah I can feel it coming now
I've been waiting so long
And I can feel it coming now

Woah woah waa
Say yeah yeah (ohh yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Na na na na na

Well I've been a losing gambler, yeah just throwing snake eyes
Oh love ain't got me downhearted, I know up around the corner lies
My fool's paradise in just another roll of the dice
Alright now

All my elevens and sevens been coming up sixes and nines
Since I fell for you baby I'm coming on changing times
They're just waiting over the rise in just another roll of the dice
Oh yeah now

I've stumbled and I know I made my mistakes
Oh but tonight I'm gonna be playing for all of the stakes

It's never too late so come on girl, the tables are waiting
You and me and lady luck well tonight we'll be celebrating
Drinking champagne on ice in just another roll of the dice
Just another roll
Just another roll

Tonight Mr. King, ???

High-rollers lay down your stakes, I'll raise you
Yeah I wanna know the odds, ain't in my favor

I'm just a clown throwing down looking to come up busted
I'm a thief in the house of love and I can't be trusted
I'll be making my heist in just another roll of the dice
Just another roll now

Move on up
Get on up
Move on up
Get on up
In just, in just, in just, in just, in just
In just another roll
In just another roll now
In just another roll now
In just another roll now
Oh yeah
In just, in just, in just, in just, in just, in just
In just another roll
In just another roll now
Take me to heaven
Come on and take me to heaven
Take me to heaven now

[Spoken:] Bring it down, man! Now listen. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen I'm so glad to be here tonight. I'm so glad to be here in Sheffield tonight. And we've come thousands of miles because we've got a message to bring you. We've got a purpose, we've got a reason. As one of my heroes Solomon Burke once said...

Everybody needs somebody, (everybody needs somebody)
Everybody needs somebody now, (everybody needs somebody)
Everybody needs somebody now, (everybody needs somebody)
They need someone to love
Someone to hold them when they're feeling down
Somebody to take the car when they need it
Somebody to tell them when they're full of shit sometimes
And you get to ???

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody
(Everybody needs somebody) Boy that was ???
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone
(Everybody needs somebody) One more time now!
(Everybody needs someone) I said love
(Everybody needs somebody) Someone to love
(Everybody needs someone) Someone to love
(Everybody needs somebody)
(Everybody needs someone) Come on man! Come on man!
(Everybody needs somebody)
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs somebody to love
[Spoken:] That's right, that's right. Raise your hands, raise your hands, raise your hands, that's right. We're gonna take a short break and then we're gonna be right back to rock you all night long.
One! Two! One two!
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to love

[Spoken outro:] Thank you. We'll see you in a little while, ok?
