Across from Midnight is the sixteenth studio album by Joe Cocker, released in 1997.



Joe Cocker's brief association with 550 Music failed to generate any interest, so when he moved to CMC International - the home of all aging artists with slowly decreasing audiences - he didn't try to make himself current, but settled into the mature adult contemporary demographic. The diminished expectations and goals actually suit Cocker well. Granted, the songs themselves aren't all terrific, but his performances are nice and understated. Ultimately, Across from Midnight is an album that will satisfy dedicated followers and few other listeners, but that's not a bad thing at all.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All Music Guide



Seine Reibeisenstimme kennt fast jedes Kind: Selbst nach 30 Jahren zaubert der Sänger aus dem britischen Sheffield immer wieder peppige Songs im Rock-, Pop-, Soul- und R & B-Kleid in die Charts. Während einem bei Elton Johns Balladen inzwischen fast schon die Füße einschlafen, verströmt Joe Cocker weiterhin fühlbare Vitalität. Das frankophile "N'oubliez jamais" oder auch "That's All I Need To Know" von Eros Ramazzotti sind der Beweis. Insgesamt ein ordentliches, aber nicht umwerfendes Werk. ** Klang.: 03-04

Tonight

A Little Bit Of Hope, Gone To Far
A Little Bit Of Pain , Leaves A Scar
You Got Yours, I've Got Yours

A Little Bit Of Dream, Disappears
When A Word Like Love
Offers So Much Fear
I've Got Mine, You've Got Mine

The Lines All Drawn, The Time Is Now
Love Will Show Us How

Tonight, We'll Cross That Great Divide
No Turning Back
Tonight, We'll Let Our Hearts Decide
Our Souls Will Follow
With A Little Bit Of Luck
We'll Take It Step By Step
If We Never Give It Up
We'll We Might Get There Yet

Tonight, We'll Let Our Hearts Decide
We'll Cross That Great Divide

When We Lose Our Trust
Can We Keep Our Faith
When It's Up To Us Just To Dream This Way
I've Got Mine You've Got Mine
The Lines All Drawn, And The Time Is Now
Love Will Show Us How

Tonight, We'll Cross That Great Divide
No Turning Back
Tonight, We'll Let Our Hearts Decide
Our Souls Will Follow
With A Little Bit Of Luck
We'll Take It Step By Step
If We Never Give It Up
Well, We Might Get There Yet
Tonight We'll Let Our Hearts Decide
We'll Cross That Great Divide


Could You Be Loved

Say Something, Say Something

Could You Be Loved And Be Loved
Could You Be Loved And Be Loved

Don't Let Them Fool You
Or Even Try To School You...Oh No
We've Got A Mind Of Our Own
So Go To Hell If What You're Thinking Is Not Right
Love Would Never Leave Us Alone
In The Darkness There Must Come Out To Light

Could You Be Loved And Be Loved
Could You Be Loved And Be Loved

The Road Of Life Is Rocky
And You May Stumble Too
So While You Point Your Fingers
Someone Else Is Judging You
Love Your Brother Man

Could You Be.... Could You Be...Could You Be Loved
Could You Be.... Could You Be Loved

Don't Let Them Change You
Or Even Rearrange You ..Oh No
We've Got A Live To Live
They Say Only Only Only
The Fittest Of The Fittest Shall Survive
Stay Alive

Could You Be Loved And Be Loved
Could You Be Loved And Be Loved

Ain't Gonna Miss Your Water
Until Your Well Runs Dry
No Matter How You Treat Him The Man Will Never Be Satisfied

Could You Be.... Could You Be...Could You Be Loved
Could You Be.... Could You Be Loved

Could You Be.... Could You Be...Could You Be Loved
Could You Be.... Could You Be Loved

Say Something, Say Something

Could You Be.... Could You Be...Could You Be Loved
Could You Be.... Could You Be Loved

Could You Be.... Could You Be...Could You Be Loved
Could You Be.... Could You Be Loved


That's All I Need To Know

Maybe I Have
No Grounds To Feel Jealous
But I'm Just A Guy
Who's Got To Tell It Like It Is
I Must Be Sure Of Your Love
On That I Exist

Is There Someone
To Whose Heart You Belong
Just Tell Me Now
Darling I Will Be Gone
But If He Is Stealing From Me
Then That Would Be Wrong

I Stand My Ground
Against Any Man
Who Would Try To Take You From My Arms
If You Know Me At All
You Know I Don't Let Go
As Long As You Want Me
That's All I Need To Know

I've Never Been
What They Call The Fighting Kind
But I'm A Man
Who'll Defend What Is Mine
I've Built My World Around You

Chorus
Solo

If You Know Me At All
You Know I Don't Let Go
As Long As You Want Me
That's All I Need To Know
I Don't Back Down
When I've Got My Feet On The Ground
I'm A Peace Loving Man
But I'll Take The Blows
As Long As You Want Me
That's All I Need To Know
That's All I Need To Know
That's All I Need To Know


N'oubliez Jamais

Papa, Why Do You Play
All The Same Old Songs
Why Do You Sing
With The Melody

Cause Down On The Street
Somethings Goin' On
There's A BRAND New Beat
And A Brand New Song

He Said
In My Life, There Was So Much Anger
Still I Have No Regrets
Just Like You, I Was Such A Rebel
So Dance Your Own Dance, And Never Forget

N'oubliez Jamais
I Heard My Father Say
Every Generation Has Its Way
A Need To Disobey

N'oubliez Jamais
It's In Your Destiny
A Need To Disagree
When Rules Get In The Way
N'oubliez Jamais

Mamma, Why Do You Dance
To The Same Old Songs
Why Do You Sing
Only The Harmony

CAUSE Down On The Street
Something's Goin' On
There's A BRAND New Beat
And A Brand New Song

She Said
In My Heart Theres A Young Girls Passion
For A Life Long Duet
AND Someday Soon
Someone's Smile Will Haunt You
So Sing Your Own Song And Never Forget

N'oubliez Jamais
I Heard My Father Say
Every Generation Has Its Way
A Need To Disobey

N'oubliez Jamais
It's In Your Destiny
A Need To Disagree
When Rules Get In The Way
N'oubliez Jamais

What Is This Game
Searching For Love Or Fame, It's All The Same
One Of These Days You Say That Love Will Be The Cure
I'm Not SO Sure

N'oubliez Jamais
I Heard My Father Say
Every Generation Has Its Way
A Need To Disobey

N'oubliez Jamais
It's In Your Destiny
A Need To Disagree
When Rules Get In The Way
N'oubliez Jamais


What Do I Tell My Heart?

I guess this old overcoat
Will do against the chill
I'll get some good drink and done
With all these hours to kill

I'll summon my courage
Of the little that we make
Look into the future
And strive, get used to the pain

I'll get along without you
I will will survive each night and day
Like they say, “Where there's no choice there's a way”

I'll forget all about you
As soon as I saw this one last part, this part
I keep asking myself, what do I tell my heart?

I told a lie at first
And said you overslept
I tried the bitter hard truth
Just too much to accept

Seems no explainin'
Can put my mind at ease
My heart keeps complainin'
And draggin' me down to my knees

I'll get along without you
I will will survive each night and day
Like they say, “Where there's no choice there's a way”

I'll forget all about you
As soon as I saw this one last part, this one last part
I keep asking myself, what do I tell my heart?

Ask yourself a question
Don't it seem a little strange?
To be both so in love, could dazzle everyone
Suddenly going all the way

I'll get along without you
I will will survive each night and day
Like they say, “Where there's no choice there's a way”

I'll forget all about you
As soon as I saw this one last part, this one last part
I keep asking myself, what do I tell my heart?

I'll get along without you
I will will survive each night and day
There gotta be a way

I'll forget all about you
This one last apart
I keep asking myself, what do I tell my heart?
What do I tell?


Loving You Tonight

The full moon's glowing
Blood red in the sky
It hangs like fire
On this winter's night
I sit on feelings
That hang in suspense
Nothing in my life makes sense
A question mark hangs with the stars up above
As I'm driving home to the one that I love
Sometimes I can't see the trees for the wood
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
The moonlight changes
From red into white
It sits on treetops
Asleep for the night
I see the signpost
The road slowly bends
Nothing in my life makes sense
A flashing tail light speeds across the sky
My head's cooking trouble as thoughts seem to fry
The last temptation was misunderstood
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
I'm faced with the ultimate truth
What if I see that things don't improve
I know they could
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
The sun is rising
There's mist all around
She sleeps beside me
And I feel so proud
Am I in heaven
With her by my side
This is how love feels tonight
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight


Across From Midnight

It's come down to just the two of us
Me and my shadow on the wall
Radio playin' softly
Somewhere down the hall

And over in the next room
The hollow sound of the cigarette come
I'm sittin' across from midnight
And morning ist a long way off

There's a fire in the trashcan
In the alley below
A thousand others gather 'round
Sipping wine and talking low

We're companions of the night time
We've got no place to go
Just sitting across from midnight
Time dragging by too slow

You can feel the night when you're all alone
There's comfort in the room
You keep hangin' on
You wait … until … the dawn, oh yeah

The skeletons in the closet
March around like habitué
I guess it's too much to ask for
I need some breathing room

And the tall city buildings
They cover up the moon
I'm sitting across from midnight
Bored and you can't come to soon

The early morning hours
Bring out the darkness of your thoughts
When you sit across from midnight
Morning's a long way off, so far away

Sitting across from midnight
It's gettin' dark
Sitting across from midnight
Me and the shadow on the wall

Sitting across from midnight
Morning's such a long way off
You know I'm sitting across from midnight
sitting across from midnight


What Do You Say?

What do you say to someone who's hurtin' so bad
Who's feelin' so sad, when they're the best friends you've ever had?
What do you say to someone who's hurtin' so bad?

Tell me, what do you say to someone that you love so much
When they say they're losin' touch and they've enough?
What do you say to someone that loves you so much?

You say everything and everything or nothin' at all
And the more that you fear, the further you fall
Say anything and everything or nothin' at all
To someone you love, to someone like you

What do you say to someone at the end of the mile
Who's run out of time? Then they say they feel like dyin'
What do you say to someone at the end of their line?

You say everything and everything or nothin' at all
And the more that you fear, the further you fall
Say anything and everything or nothin' at all
To someone you love, to someone like you

Now I tell you something that you ought to know
Life's meant to live and love's meant to grow
And people will come and people, they will go

You say everything and everything or nothin' at all
And the more that you fear, the further you fall
Say anything and everything or nothin' at all
To someone you love, to someone like you

What do you say to someone who's hurtin' so bad
Someone who's loosing the touch, someone who loves you so much
What do you say, someone who's hurtin' without
To say anything and everything, or maybe nothin' at all


Need Your Love So Bad

Need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins, whoa, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad
I need some lips to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up - to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low - and it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad
So why don't you give it up, baby and bring it home to me
or write it on a piece of paper, woman - so it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me - and stop drivin' me mad
whoa, because I - I need your love so bad
Need a soft voice - just to talk to me at night
Don't want you to worry, baby
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby, come on bring it to me
'Cause I need - your love so bad
Baby, I need, I need - woman, I need your love so bad
